#2673: simplify set of options for resources

rgrp — Sat, 14 Jul 2012 21:15:59 GMT

Far too many resource options. Lets restrict back to data file and API. Visualizations etc can either get linked in description or in the Related items.

#2395: paster db clean/init don't work when spatial extension enabled

dread — Wed, 16 May 2012 09:16:33 GMT

If you have a spatial enabled database then if you don't disable the spatial extension in the CKAN config temporarily then you get errors when you run paster db clean and paster db init.

Can't you just modify the clean and init functions to run without extensions enabled?

The wider problem is that extensions do their own inits every time you do load_environment, which seems crazy and inefficient to me, since this occurs every time a request comes into CKAN. But that is another problem/ticket.

#2698: markdown preview

#2952: incorporate javascriopt translations into translations workflow

icmurray — Mon, 01 Oct 2012 19:15:45 GMT

There are now javascript translations. There's a paster command, trans js. This is a ticket to ensure that using trans js is documented in the normal ckan translation workflow (which is followed after a feature freeze, prior to release). And to see if there's any need for further incorporation into the current translation process.

#1544: delete old git branches

dread — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 15:10:10 GMT

We have 150 odd branches (git branch -a) - most of them old - we should prune them. At very least, branches that have been merged in should be deleted. Look at old branches that haven't been merged in and wonder why.

May be of some use:

git branch --merged
git branch --no-merged

#2326: dataset permalinks

toby — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:39:06 GMT

create permalinks

eg \dataset\~a5-DQ\nice-name

~XXXXX defines the permalink the nice-name is ignored

packages table needs a new field for this data

existing datasets need updating

new datasets need the identifier creating

routing needs updating

needs to work for all urls like edit

Once this is implemented we can decide when we will use permalinks vs the normal urls.

#1314: ckanclient search - generator improvements

dread — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 11:36:50 GMT

Apparently the search generator always makes two requests, even if you don't want to see the search results, which might be slow. Can this be optimised?

Maybe we should also provide a second search function that doesn't use the generator - the original simple search function (that leaves the user to deal with limit & offset).

#2906: Wrong flags in language dropdown

dominik — Wed, 05 Sep 2012 16:05:44 GMT

#1326: Write a set of auth plugin functions to integrate with Druapl

Ticket #787 described join auth between CKAN and Drupal. The authentication part is live and implemented. This ticket is a placeholder for work that will be needed in the new auth system to link authorization functions to Drupal. It is dependent on the groups refactor.

#2277: Use the new atom feeds in IATI

icmurray — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 17:10:28 GMT

Atom feeds have been implemented in core in #1593. The IATI-specific implementation can now be removed when IATI move to CKAN >= 1.6.1

#1328: Unicode & paster commands

minspamboks@… — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 10:25:10 GMT

A possible bug in CKAN when I tried deleting users using "paster --plugin=ckan user delete" command.

To reproduce the bug do the following:

Create a user with an ID (which in my case was a user's full name)

that contains non-unicode caracters like Norwegian "æ", "ø", or "å".

Make sure that you can see something like the example below:

(pyenv) rm@mycomputer:$ paster --plugin=ckan user Users: name=Rustæm

Then try deleting the user with following command:

(pyenv) rm@mycomputer:$ paster --plugin=ckan user delete "Rustæm"

You should now get a python encoding error. I know that this is quite rare case, but in our case it caused some trouble. Could you guys have a look at this bug?

CKAN ver. 1.3.3.

#2294: Unauthorized action on Data API gets 302 rather than 401 or similar

rgrp — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 19:35:04 GMT

Well known issue that 401 *in API* end up with 302 redirect to login page (which makes no sense and is very confusing for clients).

Fix this by ensuring that error messsages on API get passed through correctly.

Minor because affect is annoying but not terminal

#3026: Support icons on nav_named_link

amercader — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 18:51:56 GMT

nav_named_link won't include the nice icon even when passing the icon keyword param.

#924: Search box has no search button

dread — Mon, 24 Jan 2011 11:12:13 GMT

The search box at the top-right of CKAN's page doesn't have a 'go' button. I feel that a larger percentage of users expect a 'go' or 'search' button on the right-hand side of the box to press to start searching. Techies tend to know the keyboard shortcut of pressing 'carriage-return' but it might be better to follow standard practise on this.

Examples with 'search' button: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google, Amazon, trac Examples without: ?

#84: Revert support on versioned objects

rgrp — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 08:59:03 GMT

Basic revert in the classic wiki form is already support by purging a Revision. However may wish to support:

Cases where multiple objects changed in a revision but only want to revert 1 (low priority)
Want to revert but have reversion as a new revision of that object.

Seems low priority at present.

Cost: ?

#2247: Resource preview glitch in some browsers

#2822: Resource additional info titles format/i18n

toby — Thu, 09 Aug 2012 09:30:20 GMT

the title for additional info should be translated

capitalised etc

#2301: Replace old-style string formatting with format() method (at least in strings marked for translation)

seanh — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 12:27:44 GMT

Some strings in CKAN are passed to gettext with more than one %s in them, this is no good as translators may need to change the order of substituted words.

Strings should not use the old style % substitution, they should use the new format method in Python 2.6+, e.g.:

'This {food} is {adjective}.'.format(food='spam', adjective='absolutely horrible')

http://docs.python.org/release/2.6.8/tutorial/inputoutput.html#fancier-output-formatting

We should probably only change strings that are marked for translation and that contain multiple %s, don't want to make too much work or cause too many strings to change and need to be re-translated.

#2621: Remove the deprecated 'fields' parameter from tag_search and tag_autocomplete

icmurray — Thu, 28 Jun 2012 16:22:49 GMT

This was deprecated in 1.8 as it wasn't accessible via GET requests due to being a dict. See #2439

In a future release of CKAN (probably 1.9) it can be removed.

Internal uses of it were removed in #2439, but there are tests that still use it.

#2603: Remove deprecated 'fields' parameter from resource_search

icmurray — Tue, 26 Jun 2012 17:10:01 GMT

The fields parameter of resource_search was deprecated when fixing #2438. It can be removed in release 1.9, and the action tidied up as a result.

#2310: Refactor the search-query construction in feeds.py

icmurray — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 16:01:31 GMT

The feeds controller, used to construct atom feeds, duplicates code found in the package controller's search action (in order to construct the custom feed).

Refactor this to remove duplication.

#2947: Redirect to the resource page from /resource/{res-id}

dominik — Mon, 01 Oct 2012 13:15:25 GMT

Use story: As a user of the datasore I want to be able to put the resource id without the dataset name in a url and see the resource page.

Proposed redirect:

/resource/{res-id} -> dataset/foo-bar/resource/{res-id}

#763: Read-only mode - Setup

dread — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 11:11:46 GMT

Admin configures entering read-only mode in one of two places:

Once enabled, no writes can occur to the database (including user ratings and other usage stats).

#2951: Paster command for building css from less

icmurray — Mon, 01 Oct 2012 19:12:20 GMT

With the latest template, css and js changes in 2.0, there are a number of things that need preparation prior to a production deployment. One of these is:

the less files should be compiled to css (main.css, not just main.debug.css)

This ticket is to provide a paster command which will compile the .less into the main.css file. The idea of the paster command is that it will be run by developers, and they will check in the resulting .css files. It will also provide a convenient mechanism for production scenarios with node.js installed on the production server, as they will be able to compile the .less there as well.

## Background

The .css files that need to be served are built using less. The css files that are generated *are* checked-in to the repo; but they are a build artifact. So the general workflow is:

commit changes to the less files
build the main.css file and commit

This paster command slots into the above workflow for convenience.

## Notes

doc/frontend-development.rst
bin/less

to run this paster command, Node will be required. So that dependency should be checked.

## The paster command

This is the proposed behaviour of the paster command:

ensure custom.less does not exist
for each colour in{fuchsia,green,maroon,red}:
- generate a custom.less file for $colour. There's a paster command that does this already: `paster color <color name>.
- generate the css from the less files. ie - the equivelant of running bin/less --production.
  - this will generate a main.css file, which should be renamed to $color.css.

ensure custom.less does not exist
generate the css from the less files. This will create a main.css with the default colour scheme.

call the paster command that minifies css and js files. (This command does not exist yet, see #2950)

#1288: Package edit/creation can't include 'relationships' field

dread — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 16:34:55 GMT

When you create or edit a package (via the API), you aren't able to specify the relationships it has. (If you do you get 409 {"__junk": ["The input field __junk was not expected."]} )

The normal way to create relationships is via /api/rest/relationships/ and this works. But when you GET a package, the dictionary lists all relationship details. So this bug creates a problem for editing a package that has relationships - you want to GET it, make any edits and then PUT it back. The work-around is to delete the 'relationships' key from the dict before you PUT it back.

Options

Ideally, CKAN would read the 'relationships' key and make the necessary changes. This is a chunk of work.

Another good option is to allow an unchanged 'relationships' value, but barf it is edited. This is also a chunk of work.

A bad option would be to just ignore the 'relationships' value, since users will get frustrated changing this value and wonder why it never saves, not understanding it is different to all the rest, without error message.

A final option is to get rid of relationships altogether.

#1424: Openness notice should be clearer

dread — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 16:54:49 GMT

ckan-discuss discussion suggests changes to the 'openness' indicator ( http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/ckan-discuss/2011-October/001786.html )

Dataset view page:

If there is an explicit but non-OKD compliant license, such as CC-BY-NC, then this should be stated explicitly, perhaps: “This dataset is Not Open. License: Creative Commons Attribution Noncommerical. This is not an open license as it does not meet the Open Knowledge Definition.”
If the license is marked as “Other::License Not Specified”, then this should be stated explicitly, perhaps: “This dataset is Not Open. It is published without an explicit license, the publisher reserves all rights to the dataset.”
3. If the license field was left empty by the contributor of the Data Hub record, then again this should be stated explicitly, perhaps: “This dataset is Not Open. The license of this dataset is unknown or unspecified. Start an enquiry on IsItOpenData? »
There is a bug so that non-open licenses doesn't have an openness notice.
If downloadable resources are not available, this should not affect 'openness' - check this has been removed.

#2416: Normalise resource/data types

aron.carroll — Wed, 23 May 2012 17:09:06 GMT

Currently we have far too many types that are essentially the same format. The new demo theme is using icons for common types. So we need to normalise the common formats into pretty strings. e.g. application/json, JSON, .json and json all should be output as “json”

See the following Basecamp thread for UI examples and discussion.

#1509: Mis-dated old revisions of datasets

dread — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 13:06:38 GMT

e.g. http://thedatahub.org/dataset/osm%402011-07-12T12%3A16%3A47.590358 gives:

This is the current revision of this dataset, as edited at 2011-07-12 12:16.

but it should say the date 2011-07-12 (which is the data being displayed).

The problem is looking at PackageRevision?, when it might be a tag or extra.

#2833: Load module templates before calling .initialize()

aron.carroll — Thu, 09 Aug 2012 17:05:39 GMT

I think this would be a nice feature for remote loading templates if the options.template value ends in ".html".

ckan.module('my-module', {
  options: {
    template: 'my-template.html'
  },
  initialize: function () {
    this.template // This is the loaded template.
  }
});

#1336: License fudge

dread — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 11:07:37 GMT

cset:4b59ab34137d ckan/logic/action/get.py:

-            isopen = model.Package.get_license_register()[license_id].isopen()
-            result_dict['isopen'] = isopen
+            try:
+                isopen = model.Package.get_license_register()[license_id].isopen()
+                result_dict['isopen'] = isopen
+            except KeyError:
+                # TODO: create a log message this error?
+                result_dict['isopen'] = False

This change hides problems with the license server and returns potentially incorrect values for openness.

This has been noted as 'temporary fix' but seems to be forgotten about, since it has been merged to default and gone into release 1.4.3.

I suggest the licenses are cached (I thought this was already the case when CKAN first requests them after start-up?). I suggest failure would return 503.

#2901: Language Dropdown bug in footer with IE7

johnmartin — Tue, 04 Sep 2012 10:31:14 GMT

The language dropdown in Internet Explorer 7 behaves oddly. Essentially I think the problem is with the way that the dropdown decides to go into "drop-up mode" (e.g there aint enough screen space below the initial state so it has to drop up).

#2348: Java client library for CKAN

An example app would be very useful.

#2350: Hooks in package controller for validating form data

icmurray — Tue, 01 May 2012 14:16:01 GMT

When the validation schema was moved from the package controller into the logic layer, the schema's role was changed from that of processing a form and validating data; to just validating data. Whilst is makes sense to have a schema for validating data as it comes in and leaves the logic layer; there's no longer the hook available to PackageController? subclasses to do form validation/processing.

Add a hook into _save_new() and save_edit() prior to the logic-layer call which subclasses can then override.

NB - form processing/validation *is* different to validating data. For example, many data can be inferred from a user's input; or there may be aspects of the form that need to be filled in, but do not make sense to pass as data into the logic-layer, eg. agreeing to T&Cs.

[ ] Add hooks
[ ] Use in ckanext-example

#948: Highlight (to a sysadmin) which packages are deleted

dread — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 11:32:49 GMT

When a customer logs in as a sysadmin then he/she see all packages, including deleted and pending ones. These are hidden to the average user, but the sysadmin has no idea of this until he clicks on the package and sees at the bottom 'state: deleted'.

It should be more obvious than that on the search view - an icon, message or crossed-out name to packages are deleted.

#2996: Fix behaviour of View Profile button in user popover when already on user's profile

seanh — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 14:30:38 GMT

The user popovers that appear when you hover the mouse over a user in an activity stream include a View Profile button that takes you to that user's profile page. If you are already on that user's profile page then it simply reloads the same page, but it sends you to the Datasets tab if you were on another tab.

Possible solutions:

Don't show button if already on user's page?

Button just makes popover disappear, if already on user's page?

Button does reload the page, but reloads the same tab (datasets, followers, activity stream) that you were on.

Marking this low priority

#1285: Errors cause emails

dread — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 16:29:04 GMT

Currently a sysadmin gets an email when an exception is not caught. But there are occasions when we DO want to catch an exception so we can fail nicely for the user, but the sysadmin STILL gets an email to know to fix something. e.g. if there is an exception when search indexes a package. You want to catch the exception and still run any other notify calls.

#2831: Create a limited subset of markdown that's supported

aron.carroll — Thu, 09 Aug 2012 11:41:07 GMT

Allowing people to use the full range of markdown results in extremely messy output across the site. I'd suggest limiting support to only a subset of common use cases.

Allow all inline elements, this allows bold, italic, code and links.
Allow lists.

Disallow

Horizontal Rules
Headings
Block quote and code (this may turn out to be useful and so could be included)

This way you get markdowns paragraph handling and a few inline styles without breaking the entire layout of the page.

#1171: Citation instructions on dataset and resource view pages

dread — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 09:33:19 GMT

Some sort of citation helper. Something small on the dataset and resource page that would show how to cite.

wwaites: Some related thoughts on this from opb: http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/opb/papers/ssdbm2006.pdf

timclicks: I'm looking at Dataverse for the first time[0]. It seems very popular in the social sciences. I noticed that there is a recommended citation for each dataset. For example, [1] is has this one: "Targeted Input Programme (TIP) 2000-01", http://hdl.handle.net/1902.1/SSC-MWI-TIP2000-01-M1 V1 [Version]"

Implementation

Add a small box at bottom of dataset / resource page (or in sidebar on dataset page) with title "Cite this" with contents like:

%title. %author. Retrieved %date. %site_title.

For resource: %title = %dataset_title. %resource_name.

Could also add export to ref managers (e.g. to bibtex) but that is for later.

Update the Group through the action api (group_update), using the uid in the "id" field, and a new name in the "name" field.
Visit the group's read-page. The list of datasets will be empty.

This was an issue when editing a Group through the web interface, which was fixed in [1]. However it only fixes the issue in the group controller.

#2679: Change default behaviour of TemplateController.view to 404.

icmurray — Mon, 16 Jul 2012 10:55:33 GMT

The current behaviour of TemplateController?.view() (which is the fallback controller should all others fail) is to attempt to render (as a genshi template) the requested file.

Although this may be a feature that some instances want. In general, it leads to:

500s when attempting to access a normal template (eg - http://datahub.io/importer/preview)
A way of inadvertantly serving things you may not want to serve. (Small risk, as it needs to be renderable as a genshi template).

Solution:

Change the controller to 404
Ensure there's a way for existing ckan instances to override that behaviour should they need it.

#1581: Blog post about Google Analytics extension for CKAN

johnglover — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 17:40:00 GMT

The CKAN Google Analytics extension has been updated to work with the latest version of CKAN, could make for a nice blog post.

Can ping John Glover in January for any details required.

Key link is: http://thedatahub.org/analytics/dataset/top though this should probably move to be under stats (e.g. http://thedatahub.org/stats/usage)

#2785: Allow resources to be re-ordered

aron.carroll — Wed, 01 Aug 2012 10:22:03 GMT

Not sure where this functionality should be added, possibly in one of the sidebar widgets when editing a resource?

Ira, what are your thoughts?

#2298: Add sort-by controls to the search results page

icmurray — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 09:39:22 GMT

Sort-by functionality was exposed through the package controller in [1]. But no controls were added to the search-page.

What should the sortBy controls/widget look like?
Which fields should be exposed?

The above commit is in the release-1.6.1 branch, so this work is dependant upon release-1.6.1 from being merged into master.

#2775: Add bin/less to paster serve command

aron.carroll — Mon, 30 Jul 2012 22:01:26 GMT

Ideally the ./bin/less command would be run when the server is started.

Also it would be good to have a paster command to build the production CSS with {{{ ./bin/less --production }}
The command could also detect missing node binaries and redirect to the documentation.

#2850: Add JSON support for IE7

aron.carroll — Tue, 14 Aug 2012 10:38:12 GMT

The JavaScript? just isn't going to work without it. Look into either the newer JSON3:

or the old faithful:

Just to track @tauberer patch on Github. Would be nice to write a test for it. Probably going to 1.8.1

#1259: "Add a row" for Extras on Package form

pudo — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 16:31:33 GMT

The default package form offers 4 empty extras fields. Like the resource section, it should have an "add more" button to add another row.
