CKAN: Ticket Query

#2279: Write tutorial for our DataStore API / Data Explorer

rgrp — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 19:44:23 GMT

Unfortunately ES is a little bit complex / opaque to newcomers. Need to write a simple tutorial walking through this.

This is documentation / example only (no code!)

#2363: Documentation of best caching practice.

kindly — Tue, 01 May 2012 16:16:57 GMT

Need better documentation on best practices in making page loads faster for non logged in users.

#2433: API uses name not id for some version 3 calls

see https://github.com/okfn/ckan/pull/5

#2499: Documentation for the internal analytics

icmurray — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 11:58:17 GMT

There's no docs for setting up the internal analytics, nor what it provides.

Setup

Add: ckan.tracking_enabled = true to .ini file

Run: paster tracking -c dev.ini

#2761: Document all the errors you can get when setting up filestore, and how to fix them

seanh — Thu, 26 Jul 2012 11:36:06 GMT

Add it to a 'Troubleshooting' section on the filestore page: http://docs.ckan.org/en/ckan-1.7.1/filestore.html

For the error messages and their solutions, see various threads on ckan-dev

#2762: test_related.py crashes

seanh — Thu, 26 Jul 2012 11:55:53 GMT

/home/seanh/Projects/ckan/ckan/ckan/tests/functional/test_related.py

ImportError? (cannot import name assert_regexp_matches)

#2771: Documentation and examples for IDatasetForm and IGroupForm

seanh — Fri, 27 Jul 2012 12:30:38 GMT

Add minimal, working IDatasetForm and IGroupForm example extensions to core, with tests.

The IDatasetForm example should use tag vocabularies (two birds with one stone)

The IDatasetForm and IGroupForm docs are not very good (and are somewhat spread around different doc chapters), fix them up, and reference the new working examples.

Tab Vocabularies docs should reference IDatasetForm example.

When using convert_to/from_extras() you have to remove any free extras from the form or it won't work, this needs to be documented (in the docstring maybe)

There have been recent changes to the schemas that IDatasetForm and IGroupForm use, make sure the docs are up to date.

#2859: Fix the build

icmurray — Thu, 16 Aug 2012 09:26:57 GMT

The requires files have been removed. These were required by buildkit.

We've lost the information regarding which packages were already in ubuntu repos, which conflicted and which were missing. But perhaps we can just package everything up.

#2919: Remove IController from docs

seanh — Wed, 12 Sep 2012 14:47:33 GMT

Still in docs but seems gone from code

#2936: Updating a group via the API clears its packages

seanh — Wed, 19 Sep 2012 09:47:46 GMT

If the group dict that you post to the API does not have any 'packages' key then all the group's packages get removed. I think it would be better if you could just update e.g. the group's description without having to also post the list of packages, and apparently this is how other update API actions work.

Might be worth checking all the update API actions for this behaviour, and making sure they're all consistent

#2958: Uploading files with unicode characters in filename fails in CKAN 1.7 and 1.8

seanh — Thu, 04 Oct 2012 09:29:36 GMT

e.g. 2012_08(주요국가).xls

I tested in CKAN 2.0 and it seemed to work fine there.

#2963: Timeout on tag pages with lots of datasets

amercader — Mon, 15 Oct 2012 10:13:19 GMT

e.g. http://thedatahub.org/tag/lod

Tags with less datasets work fine (e.g. http://thedatahub.org/tag/railways)

#2965: Stats extension broken on 1.8

amercader — Mon, 15 Oct 2012 10:15:41 GMT

Graphs not showing (looks like a flot related file is missing)
Wrong groups counts (e.g. Data Explorer Examples show 1800 datasets when it onlu has 8)

#3002: API v1/2 'legacy' search parameters must be escaped before they are put into a Solr query string

amercader — Fri, 19 Oct 2012 09:32:22 GMT

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

#3003: New pg databases should be created with UTF8 encoding rather than system default

amercader — Fri, 19 Oct 2012 09:33:19 GMT

Just to track @tauberer patch on Github. Probably going to 1.8.1
