Custom Query (2152 matches)

Reported by rgrp, 2 years ago.

Or at least it appears that way from revision log which displays all Group datasets against the changelog, see ​http://thedatahub.org/revision/4cdeeb42-3281-4f53-a29d-c694e1fd9217 -- not apparent from that page but see my user page: ​http://thedatahub.org/user/rufuspollock

This may turn out to be a UX bug rather than a real bug ...

Assigning to kindly for review and comment.

Simple embeddable widget for use on 3rd party sites showing dataset counts for a given search query. Have a specific version just for groups.

• Simple group count widget in JS for embedding in wordpress and elsewhere
  • Requested by several people (e.g Guo Xu from Econ working group). Already have something like this in CKAN JS for doing an embeddable search box.
• All you need to do is do a dataset query over the API e.g. ​http://thedatahub.org/api/search/dataset?groups=economics and then embed in some html!

Estimate: 30m (for someone who knows their jquery).

  • Provide helper methods for creating these links with config options for setting path to user guide so that the link location can vary on install by install basis

Why do this

We already have wiki.ckan.org and docs.ckan.org. Why do this?

Answer for docs:

• This is administrative guide and focused on general CKAN software.
• Hard to provide completely generic help.
• Integratable with the DataHub? site

Answer for wiki:

• No spam
• General feeling that wikis are a little bit loose and untidy. We want this to be smart, clean and useful.
• Integratable with the DataHub?
