#902 defect rgrp dread ckan-v1.4-sprint-1 closed fixed Package buttons not clickable / Improve submenu tabs

On a package page there are three buttons to the right - View, Edit, History. Each of these buttons contain an icon and the text, but you can only activate the button by clicking on the icon. When you click on the part of the button where the text is (about 50% of the button) then nothing happens.

Using: Chrome, Firefox

#903 defect pudo pudo ckan-v1.3 closed fixed Proper handling of deleted packages in Solr serps

Currently, deleted packages are filtered from search results after solr returns. That means result count can drop below the requested number, down to 0. Thus we need to filter before or in Solr.

#905 defect thejimmyg Stiivi ckan-sprint-2012-02-06 closed worksforme Unable to search with accented characters in package names

I have a package with name: "Štatistické prehľady agendy cestovných pasov" and when I try to search for "Štatistické" there are no results.

CKAN setup:

  • psql DB with UTF-8 tables
  • psql search backend
  • ckan version: 1.3.1b

Example:

http://verejnedata.sk/package/agenda-cestovnch-pasov

try to search for the first word in the package name.

#906 enhancement thejimmyg Stiivi ckan-sprint-2012-03-05 closed fixed Ability to search without accents for accented words

In Slovakia users are expecting from sites to be able to search without typing accents, for example if they do not have SK keyboard, just US. For example searching for: 'Obyvateľstvo' and 'obyvatelstvo' (population) or 'štatistika' and 'statistika' (statistics) should yield same results.

This should work the other way around as well, as some people might enter entries without accents into CKAN instance and others might search with accents.

For SK language simple ASCII transliteration for searched term and indexed words is sufficient (iconv ASCIITRANSLIT).

#907 enhancement rgrp ckan-v1.3-sprint-3 closed fixed Data previews: preview package resource data in the WUI

As a user I want to preview a dataset ('resource') before downloading it.

Implementation

This will be implemented as an Extension

NB: This ticket requires a way to get data out of a remote url (the dataset). We do not want to put this data load/streaming into ckan core due to a) complexity b) load problems (do not want to take ckan out by accidentally pulling in a 1GB file)

  1. Need a 'data proxy' - see ticket:698 and ticket:888
  2. Preview using javascript in WUI - do this in an extension http://bitbucket.org/okfn/ckanext-dataapi

Some extensions import pylons features (such as request) at root.

  1. You need to import ckanext before any ckan stuff in your wsgi script (extension stats and dataapi)
  1. Running under wsgi daemon mode (normal mode is fine!) the front page (front page only) will not work (does not occur with disqus or synchronous_search but does with stats and dataapi extensions). You get errors like this in the log:

#917 enhancement kindly kindly closed fixed Turning off Autoflush in SQLAlchemy

David Raznik: I propose we remove autoflush by default in ckan. It caused a lot of bugs on the version upgrade due to its magical behavior.

I have a patch in https://bitbucket.org/kindly/ckan/ on branch feature_switch_autoflush_off_by_default.

This change simplifies code. It only took 7 extra flushes/commits to make work and there are over 40 instances that we remove autoflush, so as not to cause error (I have not removed them in the patch yet).

Things to know about using flush:

  • Most of the time nothing will change. A commit implies flush.
  • You only need to flush if you expect a query to return an object you just saved. i.e if you session.add(obj) and you expect obj to be in a session.query.
  • A flush is handy when you want to get the primary key out before you do a commit. i.e session.add(obj); session.flush(); obj.id is now generated.
  • You can use them as a limited form of nested transaction.

It increased the performance on the tests by about 5%. There are less flushes altogether so is faster.

I do not see any downsides.

#918 defect memespring dread closed invalid Package preview doesn't show tags or groups
  1. Edit any package
  2. Hit 'preview'

Notice that the preview at the bottom doesn't show what tags or groups the package is in.

This is because the new design of the package view only has this info in the sidebar, which is not displayed in the preview.

One might argue that this is ok because the tag is not a central part of the metadata, only used for searching, so it is ok not to preview it. But I wanted to check that this change was a conscious decision.

#919 enhancement dread dread ckan-v1.4-sprint-6 closed fixed Package preview contains API & datapkg instructions
  1. Edit a package
  2. Hit 'preview'.

The preview contains the section "CKAN API / datapkg" which seems irrelevant at this point. Looking at ckan.net previews, the Comments section only appears when you view a package and not when you preview it. This seems more sensible - can this be done for the "CKAN API / datapkg" section too?

#922 enhancement kindly kindly closed duplicate Make Resources first class entity.

Why?

  • Will make it easier to give resources their own form, independent of packages.
  • Makes uploading, harvesting and previewing data cleaner as its separate from the packages.
  • Gives the option of sharing a resource between packages.
  • Leads the way to supporting storing richer semantic information against them.

#924 enhancement dread ckan-backlog new Search box has no search button

The search box at the top-right of CKAN's page doesn't have a 'go' button. I feel that a larger percentage of users expect a 'go' or 'search' button on the right-hand side of the box to press to start searching. Techies tend to know the keyboard shortcut of pressing 'carriage-return' but it might be better to follow standard practise on this.

Examples with 'search' button: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google, Amazon, trac Examples without: ?

  1. Remove contributors list from about page (out-of-date and does not belong there)
    • A "Powered by CKAN" link in footer is enough
  2. Add contributors / team / credits page to ckan.org
    • May want to separate credits (e.g. software use), from contributors (also is team different from contributors)
    • (perhaps with photos!) so that people can see who is part of it and from which organisations. (this is medium-term, not really part of this ticket)
  3. ? CREDITS.txt file to the source repository and add a link to it on bitbucket for more detailed credits info.

#935 defect pudo pudo closed fixed "groups" field bug in IATI

An internal server error was reported when trying to create a new package (not when editing):

WebApp? Error: <class 'sqlalchemy.exceptions.IntegrityError?'>: (IntegrityError?) null value in column "name" violates not-null constraint 'INSERT INTO package (id, name, title, version, url, author, author_email, maintainer, maintainer_email, notes, license_id, state, revision_id) VALUES (%(id)s, %(name)s, %(title)s, %(version)s, %(url)s, %(author)s, %(author_email)s, %(maintainer)s, %(maintainer_email)s, %(notes)s, %(license_id)s, %(state)s, %(revision_id)s)' {'maintainer': None, 'name': None, 'author': None, 'author_email': None, 'notes': None, 'title': None, 'maintainer_email': None, 'url': None, 'state': 'active', 'version': None, 'license_id': None, 'revision_id': '0141c09c-4eb3-4dda-a6b1-e07f2c73b4c5', 'id': '7fe16a29-f183-471a-99c5-2c2e81dd86e4'}

The error could not be reproduced in a non-apache/mod_wsgi environment, even with a dump of the live database. Further investigation by manual editing of the package form left the "groups" field as the likely cause. After updating the packages installed, and temporarily editing the package controller the problem vanished after a restart of the web server.

Possible causes include:

  • Stale pyc file
  • Threading issue
  • Dependency issue

As the problem is gone for now, it cannot be further investigated atm.

#936 enhancement johnglover rgrp ckan-v1.4-sprint-6 closed fixed Follow / watch package extension

As a (logged-in) User I want to watch (follow) a package, that is register my interest about a package. (Similar to watch/follow features in github/bitbucket/wikis).

NB: this is as much (if not more) about showing what packages are interesting to people as giving info to 'watchers'.

Need to finalize terminology (github uses watch for repos and follow for users while bitbucket combines both in 'followers'). Decision: use follow

Implementation

Interface

Become a follower:

  • Follow button on packages (if already watching say 'unfollow')

Package-related changes:

  • Show number of followers on a package
  • List followers of a package at /package/{name}/followers
    • On a separate page

a package User-related changes:

  • List followed packages
    • Either on user's page on a separate 'following' page. (NB: called 'following')
  • Does watching involve notifications (by email)
    • Probably not: you can already subscribe to RSS feed after all and email not that necessary (?)
  • [Future - don't have activity stream yet] Show what packages a user has started/stopped followed on a user's public activity stream on their user page

Nitty-Gritty

  • Want to do this in ajax-y manner
  • API endpoint: /api/2/follower
  • Store data in a new follower table

API

/api/2/follower

follow => PUT / POST
{
   user_id
   object_type
   object_id
}

If this is submitted by a user with user.id != user_id => error (401)

unfollow => DELETE

/api/2/follower/package/{id}
=> list of followers
[
    { safe dictized user }
]

NB: depends on access to a 'safe' dictized user object. Dictization is in nearly done, and current example of doing this by hand is in user API autocomplete method.

Table

Called 'follower'

user_id, table, object_id, created
xxx, package, yyy, ...
xxx, user, yyy, ... [future]

Random Extras

  • What about following users as well

#937 enhancement sebbacon rgrp ckan-v1.4-sprint-5 closed fixed Record download stats for resources (extension)

As a User (especially as a Package Owner/Maintainer?) I want to know how many times a resource has been downloaded (and when).

So let's record download stats (as in clicks on the link for a resource).

Implementation

Old Spec (do it in CKAN)

  • Record info of form: resource id (or url?), timestamp
  • Do this via javascript capturing of onclick event talking to an api
  • API: /api/resource/{id}/download
    • POST to increment (how do we stop spamming -- could use a nonce setup with a random string set on each page load for the js)
    • GET to get data back { total: X, day_count: [ [yyyy-mm-dd, count], ... ] }

Questions

  • Do we record ip addresses (to handle de-botting etc)?
  • Do we count preview clicks as well?

#938 enhancement pudo rgrp ckan-v1.4-sprint-1 closed fixed Message flashing / notification in WUI

Good user interfaces provide feedback to users. We should provide more feedback about the success / failure of actions using message flashing (see http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/patterns/flashing/).

We already do some of this (slightly poorly), e.g. on adding an authorization the app says: "X authorization added".

Implementation

  • Standardize this process and add section to html for this purpose.
  • Already done in other OKFN apps e.g. yourtopia.net, wheredoesmymoneygo and commentonit
  • Testing: suggest keeping this very simple

Estimate

Talking with users it is clear that some people are not clear how ckan.net (or other sites) work and what they are and are not 'allowed to do. This could help make this better.

Implementation

  • Pop-up bar (based on a cookie or just being not logged in?) - uses ticket:938 (message flashing)
  • FAQ/instructions page (use the new wiki?)

#940 defect pudo rgrp ckan-v1.3 closed wontfix OpenID login via google for same user generates 2 different openid urls

This has been noted twice in the last couple of weeks.

Checking around my guess is this is due to someone logging in to www.ckan.net and ckan.net. Google generates openid based on the RP (requesting party) which is the requesting domain url unless the openid.realm is set. See:

To fix this we should set the openid.realm (not sure how atm).

If this is not possible an alternative is to make sure we redirect all users to a single site url (perhaps using ckan config option site_url, or doing this in apache).

#947 enhancement rgrp closed duplicate Move the assignment of roles to a package on package creation to an extension

At the moment the assignment of user roles on package creation is done in setup_user_roles method in ckan/model/authz.py and is hard-coded.

This can be a pain to override (you can use a Plugin listening for package create events) and makes some things such as putting system in restricted mode more complex than it should be (see ticket:833).

An elegant solution would be to move this into an Extension this simplifies the code and make it easier for people override (just remove the default extension and plugin your own).

When a customer logs in as a sysadmin then he/she see all packages, including deleted and pending ones. These are hidden to the average user, but the sysadmin has no idea of this until he clicks on the package and sees at the bottom 'state: deleted'.

It should be more obvious than that on the search view - an icon, message or crossed-out name to packages are deleted.

#961 enhancement kindly rgrp ckan-v1.5 closed fixed [super] Refactoring of forms, validation and model synchronization

This is a meta-ticket to hold all of the work on refactoring forms, validation and model-synchronization in CKAN.

ckan-dev thread: http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/ckan-dev/2011-January/000180.html

The Issue

From #926:

The current formalchemy setup conflates view, controller and model code in a way that makes it hard to debug and customise.

From http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/ckan-dev/2011-January/000181.html:

... FormAlchemy, in retrospect, was probably a mistake as it merges too much model/validation/form generation into one thing.

At least 3 functions involved [in this area]:

  1. Generating (or just filling) a form template with 'form data' (and errors)
  2. Converting model data to form data (also happens for APIs in fact) -- let's call this 'dict-ization'
  3. Converting form data to model data (and validating) (inverse of previous step)

Related Tickets

  • #926 - Pick a simpler form framework
  • #1046 'dictization' and the logic layer - serialization / deserialization of package (and other domain objects) to standard intermediate format such as json-convertable python dict

Basic implementation done (and deployed):

However plenty to improve, e.g.

  • Support more formats (use external systems for preview?)
    • json (!)
    • html (trivial!)
    • sparql
    • ...
  • Do not display preview if no preview

Also suggest reworking to use external services rather than doing preview 'in house' (doing in house places heavy reliance on data proxy service and on converting data to a standard format).

#972 enhancement sebbacon rgrp ckan-v1.5 closed wontfix Merge 'extras' into main package dict rather than having separate key

Rather than have a separate 'extras' key all the extras fields should be consolidated into the main package dict when presenting the package internally or e.g. via the API.

Why? Extras are really just an artefact of our internal storage model. Clients of the system (both internal and external) should just see a set of key/values with no distinction between extras and non-extras.

Issues

  • Possible breaking change to the API (could enforce backwards compatibility by keepings extras for the time being)

We should aim to consolidate the harvesting clients into a common system that is easy to extend when needed and can be re-used in different scenarios.

In general, such a system would have the following stages:

  • Source selection: find what to download/scrape/harvest/parse
  • Index retrieval (i.e. package index)
  • Item retrieval (i.e. package entity)
  • (Optional: Serialization)

When using the API 'locally' i.e. from the CKAN instance (as would be the case with an ajax interface) the API, especially that allowing READ requests should use the normal user credentials if they are available prior to looking for an API key.

The key change appears to be to change _get_user_for_apikey method in lib/base.py BaseController? to check the c.user attribute (may wish to rename as the name may now be a bit misleading ...).

This is critical to incorporating any ajax editing into the frontend.

As part of this ticket we should do a general consolidation of the identification system in lib/base.py so that both api_key and normal user auth lead to the same set of auth-related objects being available (suggest c.user and c.userobj and c.author).
