CKAN: Ticket Query

#1664: Smarter group activity streams

seanh — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 10:20:54 GMT

We already have simple activity streams for groups that have new group or group updated events (see #1631). Smarter/more useful group activity streams would also contain the events for things related to the group: users, datasets, other groups, etc.

This should just mean using a more complex SQL query in the group_activity_list() logic function.

Things might get tricky when a user or dataset joins a group, this may show up as two events (the user or dataset was modified, and the group was modified). We may want to have two separate events for this (one to go in the user or dataset activity stream and one for the group), or maybe we just want one 'user/dataset joined group' event.

#1796: Get rid of lxml dependency

dread — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 18:34:00 GMT

lxml is used in CKAN core in two places:

ckan/lib/helpers.py:239 Parsing Markdown and ensuring it is valid XML (i.e. tags close nicely so the HTML of the rest of the CKAN page is not disruptable).
reading the SOLR config XML to determine what version it is.

Both of these could be done with xml.dom built into Python and would save us a sizeable and slightly problematic dependency.

lxml is needed by these extensions: ckanext-inspire, ckanext-harvest, ckanext-csw & ckanext-wordpresser, so we'd have to add this to their requirements.

#1563: Finish Data Storage

Unsure what needs to happen here. Need to list outstanding tasks and implement.

#1570: Integrated file Storage

jilly mathews — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 11:29:02 GMT

Is this ready for release? What needs to be done?

#377: API Should return JSON in all cases

glen@… — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 22:02:38 GMT

When the API returns any response it should always retunr JSON. For example a 404 response should return something like

{'status': 404, 'message': 'package somename not found'}

When errors are encountered when creating a package:

{'status': nnn, 'message': 'Validation Errors', 'errors':['description':'name cannot be
blank', 'description':'license code must be an integer']}

Not authorised:

{'status': 503, 'message': 'You are not authorised to create this package.'}

The reason being that screeds of html coming back in the response just makes it harder to debug and understand. Having the proper error codes/messages means that you can see why your package was not created.

#1650: Add new language/translation of fields for datasets.

ross — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 10:23:12 GMT

Datasets should have a field that specifies the language used in the dataset, this should be a two character ISO 639-1 code (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes for list) . Also make sure all tests and migrations are resolved. [2d]

Determine the best approach to having 'translation_of' references to show which dataset the current one is a translation of. This may be a translation of field, or a 'copied from' field or another form of package relationship. [2d]

#1444: Language detection defaults to en_us?

dread — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 18:50:34 GMT

Using curl you always get English, even if ckan.locale_default=de. Find out why. (1.5b)

Maybe we should disable locale detection for this release if lots of people's browsers don't have it set correctly (e.g. chinese with us internet explorer)

#1568: Moderated Edits

jilly mathews — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 11:22:56 GMT

Can this be released as a standard CKAN feature?

#2238: Deploy some test vocabs and publishers on test.ckan.net, check tutorial-style instructions for these

#2312: Analysis of how datasets could belong to users instead of Groups

ross — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 11:56:10 GMT

DUPLICATE OF #2548

Currently datasets can only be part of a group but that is quite heavyweight when a single user wants to upload a single dataset. To resolve this it would be great if a dataset could be attached to a user directly - find out how.

#2544: facet.sort is not available in the package_search action

icmurray — Mon, 18 Jun 2012 09:57:01 GMT

Not all solr facet parameters are available through the pcakage_search action. In particular, facet.sort has been asked for; but this ticket should check to see if there are other parameters that would be easy to add too.

See: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SimpleFacetParameters#facet.sort
