From #2204

not sure how much we have thought through using this for storing queries / views / visualizations coming from our data viewer. In particular, wonder if this necessitates some kind of support for arbitrary json data ...

### Comments

In the simplest form, right now all I need to store is store the url to the resource plus hashbang config for recline. That would be super easy ...

There are a couple of strings on the authorization group add/edit form that are not being translated:

"Name: Please enter a value" (error message when you try to add an auth group with no name)

"User name"

"Save" button

The form seems to be built using FormBuilder?. See ckan/forms/authorizationgroup.py, builder.set_displayed_fields()

add resource_status_show action function to see the state of celery tasks.

Need to get information from both out task status table and the celery_taskmeta table.

Use jquery chosen?

Would make them much nicer but requires:

• Ensure uniqueness (or deal with ambiguity)
• (?) Slug/names versus titles
  • Aside: what is currently called name should probably be title

At the moment no way for a normal user to find JSON versions of this material. Would it be worth adding back a link somewhere on the page?

This is a resource that is *just* in the datastore. At the moment there are hacky ways to do this (create resource with meaningless URL etc) but we should do this properly:

• New Option: DataStore? Table in add a resource form
• URL field is disabled (or points at /api/data or something rather pointless)
• Download button is disabled
  • Better would be to find a way to serialize an ES table or stream it ...

Some files that might be uploaded as resources on a dataset, such as some image formats, already contain metadata. For example some jpeg files might contain Exif ( ​http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchangeable_image_file_format ) data.

[ ] Obtain list of embedded metadata 'standards'

[ ] Where the metadata is available it should be added as extra fields on the resource that is uploaded.

[ ] HTML?

[ ] Image formats (exif/gif etc)

[ ] PDF

[ ] Eventually consider ...

[ ] MS Office documents

One user reports that after resetting the password via the reset form he was unable to log in again. He did have an email address associated and received the reset email. After updating his password, login failed

"Login failed. Bad username or password. (Or if using OpenID, it hasn't been associated with a user account.)"

CKAN's default schema has fields for Author ('The name of the main contact, for enquiries about this particular dataset') and 'Maintainer ('another important contact person'). The distinction is not clear. Also the fields are often left blank.

The roles that seems most important are those of the original owner/publisher of the data, and the person maintaining the CKAN record/copy of it. So I suggest:

(1) Rename the fields 'Owner' and 'Maintainer'.

(2) Change the explanatory text for the relevant fields:

Owner: 'The person or organisation who create/collect/publish the data in this dataset.' Owner e-mail: 'E-mail address for enquiries to the Owner named above.' Maintainer: 'The person maintaining this dataset on [name of CKAN instance], if different from the above.' Maintainer e-mail: 'E-mail address for enquiries to the Maintainer named above.'

(3) When a logged-in user creates a new dataset, the main form should have a checkbox, checked by default, marked 'I am the maintainer of this dataset'. If checked, the Maintainer name and e-mail fields are populated from the user's profile.

At present, a resource which is just a URL link to an external resource has a 'Download' button on the resource page. This gives the misleading impression that the resource is stored locally.

This is related to another small UI issue: I think the URL of a resource should be much more prominent, not buried in the 'Additional Information' table.

Suggested fix:

• Put the URL prominently at the top of the resource page (above the preview) (and make it link to the resource)
• Disable the Download button unless the resource is stored locally.

Unless explicitly told by the source web server the dataproxy should not assume that the content it has can be encoded as UTF-8. Even though the chars from 128 - 255 overlap an attempt to decode some byte array as utf8 will fail whenever a latin1 char whose bitpattern has the MSB set.

This will mean that the UTF8Recoder can be more rigid in its acceptance of data, Postel aside.

Deleted means things will get purged at some point.

Archived means they stay around but get hidden from search results and a big warning notice gets displayed saying this is archived / deprecated.

@richard cyganiak ...

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

Requirements

Require the ability for users to control some level of content that is visible on the home page of their ODS installation. This may be through RSS/Atom feeds (see #2234) or another mechanism but should result in admins being able to change blocks of text on their homepage.

This should not be configuration, but accessible through WUI.

Interface

None

User Stories

• As a system administrator I want to have control over content displayed on the front page beyond featured/popular items.

• As a system administrator I don't want to manage content through having to write an extension.

Look into writing a cartridge for importing CKAN data into a Virtuoso quadstore

​http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/dataspace/dav/wiki/Main/VirtSponger#How Does It Work?

Current we hide most of readme and then let users reveal it. Stop doing this and if necessary add a quick link down to resources section. (Maybe also rename resources to Data and Resources ...?)

Aside: believe I have mentioned this somewhere a month + ago but could not find the ticket.

With the organizations and organizations_dataset plugins enabled login and create a new dataset, adding it to a group that you are a member of. Edit the dataset and set the group to none. Now you can no longer edit your own dataset. (You can also specify None for the organization when first creating the dataset, same problem.)

I'm not seeing any javascript or python error, the upload just hangs.

Have to decide which non-core extensions are going to be supported first.

The group_index page has no support in WUI for ordering the groups displayed. Should allow sorting by name

Add support for this for datahub now, and discuss for new 1.9 UI

Currently the group_index page just shows the entire list of groups, forcing the ordering to be by name. It would be better if it could be sortable by name (or reversed) or by package_count (or reversed)

A large number of XXX.ckan.net sites give the following message:

"This Site is Down for Maintenance We apologize for the inconvenience. ~ The Open Knowledge Foundation sysadmins."

The message is unhelpful and patently false - the sites do not exist. Some of them were supposed to have been redirected to a relevant group at thedatahub.org in this ticket (now closed):

​http://trac.okfn.org/ticket/933

However, the redirection only seems to have worked in one case, ​http://si.ckan.net.

The problem still affects the following sites - the first 4 of which have supposedly been merged:

• ​http://lt.ckan.net
• ​http://hu.ckan.net
• ​http://be.ckan.net
• ​http://gr.ckan.net

• ​http://nz.ckan.net
• ​http://bg.ckan.net
• ​http://fi.ckan.net
• ​http://katalogdanych.centrumcyfrowe.pl
• ​http://pl.ckan.net
• ​http://southampton.ckan.net
• ​http://sl.ckan.net

Please sort this out by redirecting, removing the sites, giving a more helpful (and accurate) failure message, etc, as appropriate.

Instead of showing a notice, the password reset page throws an exception if the key parameter is missing:

Module ckan.controllers.user:329 in perform_reset
         c.reset_key = request.params.get('key')
               if not mailer.verify_reset_link(user_obj, c.reset_key):
                   h.flash_error(_('Invalid reset key. Please try again.'))
                   abort(403)
 if not mailer.verify_reset_link(user_obj, c.reset_key):
Module ckan.lib.mailer:100 in verify_reset_link
     if not user.reset_key or len(user.reset_key) < 5:
               return False
           return key.strip() == user.reset_key
 return key.strip() == user.reset_key
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'strip'

Apart from the obvious fix of checking for the 'key' parameter, it seems like is quite common to get these reset urls without the key parameter, so I suspect some email clients might strip the query params when building the links. We could avoid this problem by making the key part of the url instead of a param:

​http://thedatahub.org/en/user/reset/3086e91c-fe09-4a98-92e1-19de67a9ac9d/b4c2d03fa8

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.

There is some bizarre language flag issues. 1) Log in to ​http://s031.okserver.org:2375/ (I'm logged in as danieljohnlewis) 2) Visit the apps page: ​http://s031.okserver.org:2375/apps 3) Have a look at the languages drop down, flags look fine (although Deutsche does have an EU flag rather than the German flag.. but that's irrelevant) 4) Change filters to, say, type: Application and sort: Newest, and apply. Web address becomes: ​http://s031.okserver.org:2375/apps?page=1&type=application&sort=created_desc 5) Look at the languages drop down: Flags are largely incorrect, with more than one country having the same flag.

Please see the attached screenshot.

Note: this was originally tested with Google Chrome on Linux (Ubuntu).

Problem: Server Error (HTTP Code 500) when trying to see information related to an RSS feed... example: ​http://s031.okserver.org:2375/en/dataset/testerisation/resource/974df29e-77bb-4b5e-982c-cb7a295c1923 Expected: A page that looks a bit more like this: ​http://s031.okserver.org:2375/dataset/epims-lod2/resource/97531bd8-e75c-4efa-bfa2-bb51d0ba90d0

add to groups is a drop down menu where you can only choose one needs a new UI & logic allowing user to add new groups & potentially remove from other lists

Currently if a module uses sandbox.publish() in its initilaize() function then any modules initialised afterwards will miss the event.

We should queue all calls to .publish() in the pubsub module in an array until all modules have loaded then iterate over and execute them.

I was doing this:

context = {'model': base.model, 'session': base.model.Session,
                    'user': toolkit.c.user or toolkit.c.author,
                    'extras_as_string': True}
group_dict = logic.get_action('group_show')(context,
                    {'id': group_id})

in an extension and one of the group_dicts fields, one that uses convert_to/from_extras, was coming out with the wrong value. It took me ages to realise that I had to pass 'extras_as_string': True in the context. I don't think this or other context variables are documented anywhere.

that doesn't make any sense

Set the license of a dataset to blank (the first option) or to 'License Not Specified' or 'Other (Non-Commercial)' and a lock icon appears next to the license on the dataset read page. Shouldn't this be a question mark or something?

Related items (Apps & Ideas) have a collection of types, which are currently fixed. Some of these types are ambiguous, such as ideas in that they may not have a link - and if they do it is likely to be to a blog post - another existing type.

Whilst the URL is required, and we think this should stay required, we should also allow users to change the types found in Apps & Ideas to a shortened list that suits their requirements.

Try and put datapreview in Iframe.

Currently there is this page:

​http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/data-viewer.html

which covers Recline Data Explorer and other kinds of data preview in CKAN. It is under the Publishing Datasets section in the documentation. I had to to a search for 'recline' to find it.

Separately there is this page: ​http://docs.ckan.org/en/ckan-1.7.1/datastore.html which covers datastore, datastorer, and the data api.

I suggest collecting this together in one chapter called 'Data Previews'. If I understand it right the general gist would be:

CKAN has builtin previews of data resources on resource pages, enabled by default.

Images, Google Documents, and web page resources will be loaded into embedded iframes for preview.

Text-like files will be displayed raw.

CSV or Excel files uploaded to CKAN will be previewed using Recline Data Explorer.

Additionally, you can enable CKAN's DataStore?, requires you to install ElasticSearch? and nginx and put datastore.enabled=1 in your ini file. Lets you use the Data API to query data.

Does having DataStore? enabled mean you get preview of more types of resources? Any resource that's available via the Data API will be previewed using Recline,

You can install ckanext-datastorer, and then CSV and Excel files _linked to_ as CKAN resources will be previewed using Recline also. Requires celeryd.

It looks like when an IDatasetForm plugin with a form_to_db_schema() method is active, then the posted data dict is validated against the schema even if the user is posting to an API endpoint like /api/action/package_update etc. This breaks the API, for example 'name' and 'title' are optional keys for package_update (you can supply only the 'id'), but the schema validation will fail if either are not present in the posted dict.

It may be we need different schema for package create and package update, currently IDatasetForm has just the one form_to_db_schema() method.
