nav_named_link won't include the nice icon even when passing the icon keyword param.

On the package controller the package_type is not passed to the lookup function, so the setup_template_variables defined on the extensions is never called

Activity streams should be able to load more than 15 items within them. Suggest the default amount of loading is around 30 and then click to load more.

Just a ticket to keep track of a few suggested template changes.

From Knud Möller:

when I try to delete a non-empty tag vocabulary via the API (through HTTP), I get an internal server error. Checking the logs, this turns out to be a consistency error raised by sqlalchemy:

Error - <class 'sqlalchemy.exc.IntegrityError?'>: (IntegrityError?) update or delete on table "vocabulary" violates foreign key constraint "tag_vocabulary_id_fkey" on table "tag" DETAIL: Key (id)=(21421955-7560-467c-af30-9f790b73e6ae) is still referenced from table "tag".

'DELETE FROM vocabulary WHERE vocabulary.id = %(id)s' {'id': u'21421955-7560-467c-af30-9f790b73e6ae'}

URL: ​http://33.33.33.10:5000/api/action/vocabulary_delete

The error makes sense, but I'm wondering if it would be useful to extend the API to also allow the deletion of non-empty vocabularies, possibly via a parameter (not sure what best practice in API design is). At the very least, it would be cool if the error message coming back in the response had more information in it.

When minified files are in use (set debug = false in ini file) the pin images for points don't show up in the data explorer map view when viewing a resource with geolocation data.

set debug = true will fix the problem by using unminified files instead but also turns on a bunch of debug stuff you wouldn't want on a production site.

middleware.py, around line 73, is where the decision to turn minified files on or off based on the debug setting is made. This can be hacked on a production site to run with unminified files but otherwise run on production mode thereby getting around the issue with the pins. But that doesn't fix the underlying bug.

We need to test that only logged in users can see their own dashboard activity streams, and they can only see their own dashboard activity streams not those of other users.

There are some new translations already on the CKAN 1.8 resource on Transifex already (e.g. 100% Norwegian translation I think). We should at least pull these from Transifex for 1.8.1, and may as well do a call for translations too.

This is happening whenever people try to run paster commands. polib should only be needed for the check-po-files command don't import otherwise.

Just to track @tauberer patch on Github. Would be nice to write a test for it. Probably going to 1.8.1

User profile pages now show some interesting stats about the user: num. datasets, num. edits and num. followers. Would be nice to add some similar info to dataset pages. At least num. followers can be done (already implemented in backend).

Before we do this we should implement smarter group activity streams (i.e. what activities should appear in a group's activity stream?) and following of groups.

The user popovers that appear when you hover the mouse over a user in an activity stream include a View Profile button that takes you to that user's profile page. If you are already on that user's profile page then it simply reloads the same page, but it sends you to the Datasets tab if you were on another tab.

Possible solutions:

Don't show button if already on user's page?

Button just makes popover disappear, if already on user's page?

Button does reload the page, but reloads the same tab (datasets, followers, activity stream) that you were on.

Marking this low priority

If you hover the mouse over a dataset or user in an activity stream, you now get a popover with some info about that dataset or user and a follow/unfollow button.

These popovers should appear wherever datasets or users are listed, throughout the site.

Afaik the new CKAN 2.0 frontend has no functional tests

From Toby: make lib/base.py be more like it was originally intended eg defines stuff that is shared eg _ but maybe try to include stuff like render/get_action if the circular import stuff can be solved - which should be doable if hard and likely needs an extra file or two for the externals _ etc

From Toby: make the context auto-populated with things like user/model/session if not user supplied - especially for extensions (pre 2.0) maybe via a helper or else a decorator on the action - helper seems nicer maybe done via get_action()

From Toby: strip more functionality from controllers and add via template helpers eg activity streams

From Toby: add the functionality to legacy templates

From Toby: checking the logic around the who can do what from the user stories - via some tests may be a good approach

From Toby: A little polish to the member pages and probably a little hardening of the controller and logic actions

From Toby:

A general cleanup of all auth functions (in logic/auth) to check their fitness, error messages, etc.

it is no longer used

e.g. it the 'Members' button links to /organization/members/0a44... instead of /organization/members/foobar

The button will not show if you are not authorized but browse to /organization/members/foo and you can edit the members, it does stop you when you try to save your changes, but you shouldn't be able to get to the page at all

e.g. if I just changed a member's capacity I am not adding anything 'save' is better maybe

If you are the only admin of an organization you can edit the organization's members and demote yourself, then the org has no admins and no one (except sysadmins maybe) can edit it.

Last admin should not be able to remove or demote herself.

Also applies to groups.

Could be done by:

• using the solr distributed search
  • difficult set up
• merging result sets from apis
  • make sure that results can be merged properly (score, facets, ...)

At the moment everyone can read all resources. There is no support for hiding resources that are in private datasets.

e.g. 2012_08(주요국가).xls

I tested in CKAN 2.0 and it seemed to work fine there.

On the edit dataset page... there needs to be a way for users to be able to see all the resources associated to the dataset and edit them individually.

From the google doc: When I move between grid, graph and map view mode (or click on filters) the whole data explorer flickers (jumps up & down slightly) for a few moments before settling. This is happening on all resources for me and when you initially open launch the page: ​http://demo.ckan.org/dataset/afghanistan-election-data/resource/f6331f99-51f6-44d9-95b9-b20f3b74f360. Only in Chrome, working fine in Firefox.

There are now javascript translations. There's a paster command, trans js. This is a ticket to ensure that using trans js is documented in the normal ckan translation workflow (which is followed after a feature freeze, prior to release). And to see if there's any need for further incorporation into the current translation process.

With the latest template, css and js changes in 2.0, there are a number of things that need preparation prior to a production deployment. One of these is:

• the fanstatic_resources defined in ckan/lib/fanstatic_resources.py (bottom of module) should be prepared, and minified.

This ticket is to:

• provide a paster command which when run will generate the minified javascript as css files.
• stop the auto-minification of files when CKAN starts up.
• remove reference to the minified files in the .gitignore file.
• add instruction to the release process to run this command, and check-in the minified files to the repo.

## Background

Currently, minification works seamlessly without the need for any preparation when CKAN is started in a development setup. But on a production site, the webserver will (almost certainly) not have write-access to the directories that will contain the minified files. And so the minification will fail, and the site will end up serving the un-minified media, or even *old* minified media.

One way around this would be to allow webserver write access to the directory its serving out of. But this is not generally considered good practice.

Another method would be to distribute the minified files with CKAN. This ticket describes how to do this without causing a lot of noise in the commit history of the repo.

The auto-minifcation occurs when importing ckan/lib/fanstatic_resources.py.

## Changing the process slightly

The reason for moving away from auto-minifying files at start-up, to minifying files when running a paster command is:

• we should be distributing the minified files when we make a release (as we do with translation files). This makes it easier to install CKAN from source.

• if we distribute the minified files, then they need to be checked-in to the repo.

• if they are auto-minified, whenever small changes are made, then this will create a lot of noise in the repo. It will be clearer to have the minified-files generated manually as part of the release process. (Or whever we make a deployment internally).

Recline allows negative ranges. The backend returns an error 500 for that which breaks the recline preview.

The pdf preview does not load in IE 9.

Opera cannot show a recline preview. I shows 0 records.

When POSTing to the API, if specified, the 'Content-Type' header must be blank or 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'. Otherwise we get an error like: "Bad request - JSON Error: Could not extract request body data: Bad content type: \'; charset=utf-8\'""

The problem is that this is a very reasonable header to send. Indeed requests 0.14 sends this particular header.

This affects all versions of CKAN.

This is due to webob/requests.py:1248 being pretty basic.

We need a nice way to be able to get to editing the different resources that are associated to a dataset.

Since it makes sense to bundle resources into one js file that are commonly used together, there should be some explanations on how separate js scripts are merged into one file for production.

Explanations could include how groups are handled or different resource files.

If the group dict that you post to the API does not have any 'packages' key then all the group's packages get removed. I think it would be better if you could just update e.g. the group's description without having to also post the list of packages, and apparently this is how other update API actions work.

Might be worth checking all the update API actions for this behaviour, and making sure they're all consistent

The tests in CKAN only test single pages (functional tests) or single methods (unit tests). In order to make sure that the whole system still works as expected, we need tests that cover whole processes.

An example user story to be tested would be: "As a user with create permissions I want to be able to log in, create a new resource, save it and then make sure that it is in the system." or: "As a user I want to use the search functionality and open a resource from the search page."

These user stories require a different testing system with interaction and processes.

What is the system_info table for? It looks like a way to override config file settings in the database, perhaps so that admins can use a web interface to change site title etc. Could do with a docstring explaining the intended purpose of the table.
