Multiple download links, including links to mirrors and multiple formats/versions

Reported by dread, 4 years ago.

See also: PackageResources which defines a 'distribution' as a package's payload (perhaps with metadata). In our case, at least within CKAN, the representation of the distribution will just be the reference to get it (plus some minor metadata). We are expanding this functionality to be any kind of 'resource' associated with a package since it is likely in some cases people will want to link to a file containing a part, but not the whole, of a package's data.

As a

User (package editor and package user)

I want to

(package editor) Associate multiple distributions with a package.

(package user) Easily have access to multiple distributions of a package should they exist.

Implementation

There is an object called 'Resource' with the following attributes:

• url (text) (required in UI, but not in db table)
• format (text)
• description (text)
• package (association) - a resource is always associated with 1 package

A package's list of resources will have an order which is preserved. The first in the list will be known as the 'default resource' (the presumption will always be that this is a 'distribution').

How to replace download url

download_url removed and replaced as a proxy attribute. Read returns the url of the default distribution. Write changes the url of the default resource. Ensures backward compatibility.

REST API has new attribute in package dictionary 'resouces' - an ordered list.

In WUI, replace download url in package read with a table of the distributions.

In the WUI package edit, be able to add/remove/edit/reorder distributions.

There is some bizarre language flag issues. 1) Log in to ​http://s031.okserver.org:2375/ (I'm logged in as danieljohnlewis) 2) Visit the apps page: ​http://s031.okserver.org:2375/apps 3) Have a look at the languages drop down, flags look fine (although Deutsche does have an EU flag rather than the German flag.. but that's irrelevant) 4) Change filters to, say, type: Application and sort: Newest, and apply. Web address becomes: ​http://s031.okserver.org:2375/apps?page=1&type=application&sort=created_desc 5) Look at the languages drop down: Flags are largely incorrect, with more than one country having the same flag.

Please see the attached screenshot.

Note: this was originally tested with Google Chrome on Linux (Ubuntu).
