When you install ckanext-store (Storage extension) then CKAN displays 'Upload a file' button in the dataset/resource edit tab.

If you are not logged in, then this feature doesn't work, but there is nothing to indicate this. The button should be disabled.

Furthermore, it lets you think you are starting the upload process, the spinner spins, it says 'Uploading...' and stays like that for a long while.

This is a problem CKAN 1.4.3(ish) - 1.5.1 (current version) when you install the current ckanext-storage.

Try and increase the page load times for the front end.

Now

• Always include scripts at the bottom
• Include CSS at the top
• Load fonts with JS
• Concatenate and minify JavaScript? files
• Create a build script to load dependancies seperately
• Enable Gzip compression on resources
• Enable future cache headers on resources

Next

• Support serving assets from a CDN
• Look into optimising the CSS - Remove large portions of unused CSS
• Remove extreaneous libraries, can jQuery UI be replaced with bootstrap?

Tools

• Webkit Inspector Audits
• YSlow Firebug Plugin - ​http://yslow.org/
• Speed Tracer - ​https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ognampngfcbddbfemdapefohjiobgbdl

Continuous Integration

YSlow can be hooked up to Jenkins via Phantom JS

As designed by Sam Smith -> ​https://okfn.basecamphq.com/projects/9558659-demo-ckan-front-end/ Also to be used as the demo theme although I think they will diverge at some point. At the moment they should be implemented as one and the same.

Tags should be implemented in two sections.

• Custom predefined tags using vocabularies
• Provide suggestions, auto completion then fallback to free text

Currently stages of the same colour blur together, these could do with a nice divider.

Dataset extent map and spatial filter need to adapted to the new theme, as they are not showing up now

make it as a snippet calling thing like aron would love

I've added [Draft] to partial completed datasets in the package list and read commit 6a8e74d0

templates/snippets/package_list.html

templates/package/read.html

do you want to style them in some way?

Need to add JS (presumably?) to the related app box on dataset page: ​http://s031.okserver.org:2375/dataset/gold-prices to allow user to scroll through when multiple related items exist

needs review & speccing out e.g. datasets created by a user who belongs to a certain publisher (group) get auto added to this group

when editing a dataset (e.g. here: ​http://s031.okserver.org:2375/en/dataset/edit/afghanistan-election-data) add sidebar list of resources for user to click & browse through taking you to the relevant resource edit pages

it would be nice if this didn't fall over when the dir is removed maybe a linux only issue?

My feeling is that 'country-US' and 'country-us' should be the same tag. However currently tags with caps are treated differently

see ​http://s031.okserver.org:2375/en/dataset/test-dataset

with TEST and test - there also get indexed twice in the search page

I think the datasets on user pages ​http://s031.okserver.org:2375/user/me should be ordered by latest updated (with most recent at the top) instead of in alphabetical order.

What do you think?

When editing a resource you see the current and any other existing resources in sidebar

(e.g. see ​http://s031.okserver.org:2375/en/dataset/format-error-test/resource_edit/d1eac556-c16f-44af-8148-5e3467b57cf8?inner_span=True)

Would be good to have a pretty 'add new' slightly transparent resource folder/pointer undearneath - letting you add resources from the end resource page

need to check everything gets translated - sean did this before so will have info

Not sure where this functionality should be added, possibly in one of the sidebar widgets when editing a resource?

Ira, what are your thoughts?

Currently the stats plugin has a template and templates_legacy directory. We need to ensure that the templates in templates_legacy are loaded.

be good to do this in phase 3

Problem: When creating a related item, if you put in a invalid URL it loses the choice of Item Type (e.g. Visualisation, Application) and reverts to the first time (API). Expected: It remembers which one was chosen

Problem: In the English version (which has a UK flag, indicating British English), the word "Visualization" is used. For an example see the "Filter by type" drop down on the /apps page. Expected: This should be "Visualisation" in British English. Any instances of "Visualize" should be changed to "Visualise" too.

Order the items so that none user fields are first from ticket #2707

I think this would be a nice feature for remote loading templates if the options.template value ends in ".html".

ckan.module('my-module', {
  options: {
    template: 'my-template.html'
  },
  initialize: function () {
    this.template // This is the loaded template.
  }
});

e.g. from ​http://s031.okserver.org:2375/apps?page=1 you cannot edit a related item as an admin or view what dataset the item is related to

Goto:

1. Add dataset

2. Get to step 2

3. Click "Save & add another" without adding any data

4. Ends on step 3

Should: fail to validate and remain on step 2

I think the architecture on the search page is a bit odd. Not sure I like that there is a doubling up of the search box (e.g. one in the header and one in the body of the search results page)

Needs some thought

On step 1 for adding a dataset can we add a ajax ping that checks if the URL that is generated by the JS is taken? Behaviour should be as follows:

1. User types title in box (as current)

2. URL key is regexed by JS (as current)

3. The JS does a ajax call to check if the generated URL key is valid. The ajax callback returns a JSON dump which contains what the URL key should be (e.g. if 'test' was taken it returns 'test-1')

4. If the URL key returned in the ajax is different than the one generated by the JS then:

4a. If the user hasn't clicked the edit button then: it automatically updates the URL key field with the URL key supplied in the ajax

4b. If the user has clicked the edit button then: a form error next to the input appears saying that the URL key is taken and within that error is suggests the URL key returned by the ajax as alternative (the user can click said URL key within the error to automatically choose that one)

The URL key isn't reserved by the ajax and upon form submission the usual validation should still apply.

The user login / avatar with in the header really should be within another topbar, as it goes against convention to have the user information within the normal header.

They seem to be not exactly well thought out. Needs some thought on better display of the information that they contain.

• Use what is on iatiregistry.org at the moment.

• Publishing entity emails system editors
• System editor creates publishing entity account and emails publishing entity with details
• Priority: 4/5

• So some kind of confirmation or approval by someone more senior?
• Alternative: just have an account request.
• Priority: 3

Editing groups in forms doesn't work for me, with latest code from this morning:

1. Clean db
2. paster create-test-data
3. paster sysadmin create ​http://davidread.myopenid.com/
4. paster serve development.ini
5. In browser, log in to CKAN
6. Create new package: name=abc group=Roger's books
7. [Preview] - yes group appears
8. [Save] - shows package and group hasn't appeared ERROR
9. Check ​http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/rest/package/abc and reedit package it also doesn't appear here either.

Visitor visits service

As a

Visitor (general web user)

I want to

Visit the website of the service (frontpage)

So that

• See the front page and discover information about the service
• Perform various activities related to the service such as registering and finding packages, registering as a user and logging in

As a

Visitor

I want to

Login to the service

So that

I am now an authenticated user and may perform the actions that only authenticated users may perform

Notes

• Login by providing username and password
• Login screen should also include a link or information about registration
• If username do not match (or the username does not exist) a login failure is noted and the visitor is re-presented with the login screen as well as information on how to register
