CKAN: Ticket Query

#1649: Verify RDF Extension (ckanext-rdf) works

ross — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 10:18:16 GMT

Make sure that the extension works as it should and isn't broken on current releases [3d]

Make it work with the EC schema, including extras [2d]

#1703: Make custom fields for ecportal form based on prototype metamodel

kindly — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 15:42:07 GMT

The prototype portal gave us a list of classifiers that are expected for the initial launch. Add then to ckanext-ecportal.

#1711: Resource validation page

icmurray — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 14:55:59 GMT

On the resources tab, there's a "Check Resources" button which, when clicked makes an ajax request with the list of URLs entered by the user.

The server checka each link for errors and header information about the linked resource. (Using ckanext/archiver/tasks.py:link_checker()).

The server returns a list of dicts (json), containing information about the linked resource, and the client uses that to:

populate the format field of each resource

The (guessed) 'file_extension' populates the 'format' field. If it's 'htm' or 'html', then we assume it's a listing page, and so don't populate the format field with 'htm' or 'html'.

provide feedback if a URL appears to be invalid

If the URL doesn't appear to be a URL at all, or returns a HTTP error, or times-out, then URL field is highlighted in red to indicate it's a bad URL. A tooltip shows the error message to the user.

[Optional] provide feedback if a URL appears to point to "Additional Information" - ie the Resource should be entered under "Additional Resources", rather than "Timeseries" or "Individual" datasets.

#1731: Publisher support for harvesting

amercader — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 11:05:19 GMT

Estimate: 4-5d

Only sysadmins can manage harvest sources right now, we need to allow publishers to handle their own sources.

We need to decide if there will be two different profiles on ckanext-harvest, the current one with only sysadmins allowed to manage the harvesting and a new one supporting publishers (ckan core can be configured to not use the publisher model)

Tasks include:

Auth checks on the different controller actions (and the command line interface?)
Modify the index page to just show sources the logged user has permissions on.

(Talk with Ross about the specific functions to use)

Create/edit form to show a dropdown with the user available publishers.

#1742: Naming of a new package/group can clash with a route

ross — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 17:11:57 GMT

It is possible to create a group or a dataset called new, or edit, which will then be inaccessible as it is blocked by the existing routes with those names.

We should maintain a list of invalid names in the verification that happens behind the scenes in the UI.

#1803: clean up routes

toby — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 12:58:17 GMT

#1808: Translation of content on dataset view pages

seanh — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 12:55:30 GMT

All data is that is translatable should be translated when viewed.

This includes tag names will be ID codes. When viewing a dataset page, look up the current language of the interface (ckan_lang or something in the environs) and display the string for the tag in that language.

Related to the dataset view extension points for translation, recently added by kindly/=.

#1814: Check publicadata.eu harvesters

amercader — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 17:03:28 GMT

Estimate 2d

Once ckanext-pdeu is running on CKAN 1.6, upgrade ckanext-harvest to be able to update the CKAN harvesters (default tags and extras).

Also check non-CKAN harvesters (specially scrappers) to see if they are still working.

Make a list of current harvesters with status and potential ones.

#1816: Update ckanext-apps to work with CKAN 1.5.1 - 1.6

amercader — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 17:11:04 GMT

Estimate [2-3d]

If possible, it should work with both 1.5.1 and 1.6.

Needed for PDEU, also at some point for IATI

#1820: Index multilingual data when mulilingual extension is added.

kindly — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 20:48:23 GMT

All translated fields and vocabularies need to be added to search index in the correct fields.

#2199: Translation of content on dataset search pages

seanh — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 14:41:47 GMT

#2205: Document Tag Vocab schema/form setup

johnglover — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 09:51:07 GMT

#2206: Change site header to match latest ODP template

johnglover — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 14:34:55 GMT

#2209: Object->RDF mapping

ross — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 09:47:57 GMT

Super is [1649]

We need to provide customisable mappings between CKAN models and RDF. This needs to be easily configurable for different clients and should take into account objects related to the model being mapped.

Current contenders for impl are:

ordf.org's Object Description Mapper (which uses OWL)

RDFAlchemy, although this looks like it may result in fixed mappings

A custom scheme with a simple json file

A template based approach using Genshi templates?

Approach is to get a mapping complete of the attributes directly in the package class, and then provide mappings for related objects (tags/resources etc).

We'll then need to be able to publish the RDF to a triplestore.

See http://ckan.okfnpad.org/rdfmapping for further analysis.

#2210: Add method to group for adding members

ross — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 10:07:50 GMT

It is necessary to add a helper method to Group for adding members to that group so that

nobody needs to work with the Member model
It handles existing membership and existing membership with a different capacity

#2211: Logic layer access to publisher functionality

ross — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 10:12:31 GMT

Most of the get_group/add_member style calls should be handled, or at least provided via logic layer.

Don't need to break existing code, but do need to provide access via logic layer

#2212: Import latest data into demo site

johnglover — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 15:22:13 GMT

#2214: Translation of content on group view pages

seanh — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 19:01:04 GMT

#2215: Translation of content on group list page

seanh — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 19:29:39 GMT

#2217: Translation of content on tag list page

seanh — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 19:31:44 GMT

#2218: Translation of content on tag pages

seanh — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 19:32:14 GMT

#2219: Translation of datasets and tags on user pages

seanh — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 19:34:55 GMT

User names and descriptions are not translated.

#2220: make ckan cacheable

toby — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 17:44:03 GMT

need to sort cookies etc

should work with nginx and varnish

#2223: Switch to bootstrap from blueprint

rgrp — Sat, 10 Mar 2012 13:09:34 GMT

Why?

We already use quite a bit of boostrap
We already plan to use bootstrap JS
Bootstrap is excellent and pretty light

#2226: [super] Refactor and improve documentation (v1.7)

#2228: IGroupForm should allow overriding of non-edit templates

ross — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 11:23:23 GMT

IGroupForm should allow overriding of non-edit templates so that it can specify the index +/or search +/or view.

#2229: Cleanup plugin system after some test failed to run.

kindly — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 10:40:11 GMT

The logic test did not have init. This caused lots of tests to fail because there were mock extensions that ran automatically in them. Fix plugin system so this can work.

#2233: Make package show, use custom json schema

kindly — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 02:35:49 GMT

There is a disrepency between what we put in and get out when using a custom form/api. Narrow this gap by making sure package_show shows the correct serilization.

#2236: Updates to Recline and integrate them

rgrp — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 15:06:21 GMT

(Recline) Better graphing (multiple graph types etc)
(Recline) Bootstrapify
Integrate

#2237: Make way to split up tests and run tests with different db.

kindly — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 22:54:56 GMT

#2207: Fix recently changed datasets activity stream on exportal site

seanh — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 15:35:39 GMT

Apparently it's working when developers run it locally but not on the demo site.

#2227: Tests are slow and broken

toby — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 12:49:30 GMT

not all tests run and they take too long :(
