CKAN: Ticket Query

#277: Set some config options / settings in WUI (extension)

dread — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 16:21:01 GMT

Use case

As a ckan administrator I want to easily change options about the CKAN install.

Implementation

Settings to be in DB

Suggested:

## Title of site (using in several places including templates and <title> tag
ckan.site_title = CKAN
## Logo image to use (replaces site_title string on front page if defined)
ckan.site_logo = http://assets.okfn.org/p/ckan/img/ckan_logo_box.png
## Site tagline / description (used on front page)
ckan.site_description =
## Used in creating some absolute urls (such as rss feeds, css files) and
## dump filenames
ckan.site_url =
## Favicon (default is the CKAN software favicon)
ckan.favicon = http://assets.okfn.org/p/ckan/img/ckan.ico
## An 'id' for the site (using, for example, when creating entries in a common search index)
## If not specified derived from the site_url
# ckan.site_id = ckan.net
## API url to use (e.g. in AJAX callbacks)
## Enable if the API is at a different domain
# ckan.api_url = http://www.ckan.net
## html content to be inserted just before </body> tag (e.g. google analytics code)
## NB: can use html e.g. <strong>blah</strong>
## NB: can have multiline strings just indent following lines
# ckan.template_footer_end =

NB: these will still need to be stored somewhere for loading on initialization. do this in db init function ...

Settings / Options / KeyValues? Table

Columns:

[namespace]: ? only if KeyValues? (for settings this would then always be settings)
key
label
value (json)
type (e.g. date and to specify in advance what type should be)
description
tags: ?? (for grouping ...)

Loading settings from DB

Do this in ckan/config/environment.py

WUI

/ckan-admin/settings
Show label, plus description plus text field

Depends

Would be part of ckan-admin section and hence build on ticket:833 (Administrative dashboard)

#1358: Generate configuration documentation automatically from the deployment_ini_tmpl file

rgrp — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 22:32:30 GMT

At the moment documentation of config options is duplicated between source (deployment_ini_tmpl in ckan/config which is used to generate user ini file) and the docs.

Suggest we write a script that automatedly generates reference documentation for the config from the source.

May be obsoleted by #277 (some config in db)

#1403: Refactor groups index page

zephod — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 10:31:52 GMT

Groups are listed alphabetically with paging - not an ideal user experience. We would like to list groups in order of 'popularity': The number of datasets they contain.

Following this chain of thought, then, it would be nice to rearrange the groups table by clicking on column headers and having it sort by that column.

Furthermore, then, we'd like to implement a full-fledged groups search feature (if this is at all feasible).

The forthcoming groups refactor will probably have some bearing on this task.

#1411: Force resource format to be lower case (also mimetype)

rgrp — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 21:40:04 GMT

Format should be lowercase. Automatically lower case (for extra points have a bit of javascript to force lower case when entering).

Even more points: do a update on thedatahub repo to make all format lower case (or script this as an update?)

#1507: Minor fixes to dataset add on Group edit form - 0.5d

rgrp — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 12:33:49 GMT

Group edit dataset add form needs some work

Dataset name is not cleared when you add
No way to remove item from list of datasets to be added if I make a mistake
(2nd Apr 2012) It now seems that option to add multiple datasets at once has disappeared (perhaps during the CSS/HTML refactor ...)

#1782: Improvements to datasets page UX (Feb 2012)

rgrp — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 10:10:41 GMT

Relationships in sidebar [WONTFIX yet without some link to documentation or datastructure, something for me to render?]
~~Icons for *types* of resources in resource list~~
List of 'Owners' (administrators) at top right of sidebar (a la group page)
- Much prefer owner to administrator ...

#2412: More than one resource invalidatiing breaks dataset edit form

icmurray — Tue, 22 May 2012 20:05:48 GMT

When attempting to add more than one resource at once, if more than one resource invalidates, this results in a js error, leaving the form in an inconsistent state.

Repro:

Go to /dataset/new
Add a new resource. Fill in one of the fields with an invalid value. eg - last_modified, or size...
Add another resource, doing the same thing: make one of the fields invalid.
Try to save the dataset.
The entered resource information will be lost, and a js error "Uncaught Error: Can't add the same model to a set twice,: backbone.js:586" will be thrown.
