From Jan Kučera <elquenor@…>

I have also tried to use extras fields to store information about relationships between datasets. I found out that if you first add relationship using CKAN API into dataset relationships attribute and than you add extras field for the same relationship with key in format "parent_of:dataset_name" or "child_of:dataset_name", storing this extras field will clear all relationships in relationships attribute stored earlier.

I might be some kind of bug but I suppose you will know better. Is it possible to use relationships attribute and extras field for relationships at the same time?

Sean spotted that some strings need internationalising, such as flash messages. Generally all strings that appear on the web front-end should be internationalised.

Particular places that need i18n:

• ckan/controllers/admin
• ckan/lib/base

Note: there are some exceptions, such as in i18n.py, very obscure error messages and stuff that only appears on the API.

NB: there is a cost in making a string internationalisable (all our volunteers have to translate it), so we should not be too zealous. We should also look at the i18n/ckan.pot to see if any of the existing strings can be reused.

Right now, the two logic functions that return a list of packages (package_search [1] and group_packages_list [2])use custom functions to generate the output dict. That's suboptimal because:

• The template function that renders the package listing (package_list_from_dict) could end up receiving different dicts.
• Not all package properties are available at the template level (e.g extras, tags...). These can be really useful to customize the listing from an extension.

In general only the functions present in lib/dictization/model_dictize.py should be used to build the output of a logic function, in that case package_dictize. If necessary, they can be modified to include missing properties, like on this particular case the "isopen" property, needed by the template renderer.
