Custom Query (2152 matches)

As an

external front-end

I want to

be notified (by XML-RPC) about package creations and updates.

Implementation

1. A message queue worker waits for package update notifications
2. On reception, it constructs XML detailing the changes and PUSHes it to a configured URI.

Rather than turning the package fields into XML fields, the JSON dump of the list of package dictionaries will become a single XML parameter.

Config - in the CKAN config will be:

• URI to callback to
• API version to use (version 2 gives packages referred by ID not name)

As a

SOLR instance

I want to

keep my search index of CKAN packages up-to-date

Implementation

• Using asynchronous event notifications
• Running in a separate process to CKAN

Resource added to model API at:

api/rest/resource

Example model request

GET to: /api/2/rest/resource/a3dd8f64-9078-4f04-845c-e3f047125028

returns:

 [{"id": "a3dd8f64-9078-4f04-845c-e3f047125028",
   "package_id": "b8a325c8-af2a-43f3-8245-9db7d73dfbfe",
   "URL": "http://scraperwiki.com/lincolnshire-councillors", 
   "format": "CSV", 
   "Description": "Scrape of www.lincs.gov/councillors.pdf by ScraperWiki.",
   "hash": "",

 }]

Authorization

1. Have it generic (ie. not per resource) and use an action/role on system
2. Require all resources to attach to packages an inherit their permissions (i.e. read/write etc if and only read/write on associated packages)
3. Introduce Resource in authorization system (requires migration)

Mixed model

Create / Edit:

if resource associated to package:
    check_permissions(package, update)
else:
    check_system_permissions(c.user, model.Action.Resouce Create/Update, model.System)
