#1332 defect dread closed fixed i18n IndexError exceptions

We get this i18n error for the URL http://no.ckan.net/authorizationgroup (which runs 1.4.2 with Norwegian translation). I'm not sure why it occurs. Fixing it is low importance though, because this site doesn't use Authorization Group feature

Usually caused by bots. The user does not appear to be logged in.

#1339 enhancement kindly rgrp ckan-backlog closed fixed Issues / question re navl and data conversion

I ran into a bug with the size field on resources.

  • It would not accept an empty value from form (IMO this clearly equates to null/None)
  • This could be fixed via using ignore_empty instead of ignore_missing
  • However using this means there was no way to empty the field (e.g. i may just want to set the size field back to null not just change to another value)
  • similar issues could arise around other fields (such as last_modified ...)
    • cf cset:645031d07b60

To solve this (cset:58acdcfe6d4e) i created an int_converter temporarily in logic/schema.py (this is almost certainly the wrong place). But I think it raises a bigger issue about the conversion layer and how it works.

#1345 enhancement kindly nils.toedtmann closed fixed Investigate possible memory leak

There is some evidence pointing to CKAN handling memory inefficiently or even leaking under certain conditions:

When we migrated ckan.net/thedatahub.org from eu7.okfn.org (32bit) to s053.okserver.org (64bit) (ticket) we experienced extraordinary memory usage peaks (ticket). Here are the observed value with Apache default settings:

  • eu7, mpm-prefork: base level ~0.6GB, peaks up to 2GB
  • s055, mpm-prefork: base level ~1GB, peaks up to 4GB
  • s055, mpm-worker: base level ~1.5GB, peaks up to 6GB

William reduced the life-time of a WSGI CKAN process from 500 requests down to 25 requests (changeset). This (together with two other tweaks) changed the situation drastically:

  • s055, mpm-event: base level ~1.4GB, no peaks

This suggests that the more requests a CKAN processes serves over time, the more memory it consumes, aka bad memory management or a leak.

To prove this theory, one could reduce the total number of WSGI CKAN processes as much as possible without killing the performance (e.g. down to processes=3), and then observing the relation between maximum-requests=25...500 and memory consumption.

Someone to do a bit of top-down memory-use profiling would be very useful. Also useful would be something in the tests that reported what test cases use lots of memory - this could be in the nose plugin.

#1346 defect dread dread ckan-sprint-2011-10-28 closed fixed 'get_authorization_group_dict not found' exception

This stems from a feature to allow you to prefill fields in the authorizationgroup creation form.

e.g. http://ckan.net/authorizationgroup/new?name=science

It's not tested, not supported in the new logic layer and therefore broken. I don't think anyone uses it - can remove it.

## Edit Page ##

  • [Done; cset:49e0b059b6f5] Hide upload if storage not enabled
  • [Done; cset:81ff13b42dad] Make 'Add resource' links on edit page clearer and more button-like.
  • [Done; cset:03904fc50cbf] Move edit form tabs to the left
  • [Done; cset:fde26b87d6ce] API placeholder text should not link to a CSV file
  • [Done] We used to autocomplete the format field - restore this functionality
    • Works on live. My local db has an empty 'resource_revision' table; maybe 'paster create-test-data' should insert something here?
  • [Done; cset:1aab499d73db] Summary should contain 'name' (or, if unavailable, use description. Long term: description is to be deprecated)
  • [Done] Remove/move instructions where possible (a lot could just be placeholder text on the elements) (other stuff could only show on hover)
    • NB: reveal_instructions.js already disabled on edit page
    • [RP] have now done this on create -- think we can leave on edit
  • [Done; cset:755b1a622199] We have broken 'error' reporting for resource issues. Either need to move that into error summary or somehow not destroy it when we rewrite table on page load ...
  • [Done; cset:7ad090cb7855] Add slideDown to Resource expanded view
  • [Done; cset:d3595143e506] Need ability to delete resources
    • No thought yet given to uploaded resources. Long term re-think probable.
  • [Done; cset:2430a68a59fc] Empty resource table to resemble view page ("no resources" text)

## General ##

  • [Done; cset:cc0ad47293e5] Highlight the package tab I'm on (view/edit/history)
    • More generally, the presence of the #minornavigation bar is very inconsistent throughout the site.
  • [Done; cset:d5babc3629cf] Remove 'license' filtered search from backend
  • [Done] Move script stuff to footer of page

For instance, to access the Session that created a package to perform additional queries from the extension (In that case the main logic action will still perform the final commit).

From Ira: PDF of bugs and suggestions is attached.

This ticket is included in release v1.5. Post-v1.5 UX improvements are collected in #1404.

DONE ?

  • [dataset/edit]: Deletions are confirmed with a dialog box
  • [dataset/edit]: Long URLs break the edit resources tab. Show name (& 'no name') with a pencil icon.
  • [dataset/edit]: Rearrange the delete resources mechanism;
    • Use a little minus icon on the far left, followed by a pencil icon for editing.
    • The 'delete resource' button can become 'hide'
    • Deletions are confirmed with a dialog box
  • [dataset/edit]: Rearrange the 'you have unsaved changes' warning;
    • Delete the little green plus sign on the right;
    • Try a flash banner instead (more general purpose & beautiful)
  • [dataset/edit]: Try a pencil icon (+'hide' button) rather than the +/- buttons which look a bit like you're adding a dataset.
  • [dataset/view]: Subscribe button (& subscribe to history) doesn't work as expected. Modal dialog carrying instructions?
  • [dataset/view]: Drop the 'add to a group>>' and 'add tag>>'. Needs inline tag-adder.
  • [markdown editor]: Tab colours confuse the user. Inactive button appears to be greyed out.
  • [dataset/edit]: The upload file UI mutates and breaks across lines; make it a little more rigid. Verify at different zoom levels.
  • [groups/add]: Hide unimportant fields
  • [navigation] Add 3D bevel (@see github) to current tab highlight.
  • [dataset/create and groups/create]: Slug generator can be tidied. Default: Not editable. @see http://groupspaces.com/a/group/
  • [groups/view]: Show description and owner. To match dataset section.
  • [groups/authz]: Tidy to match admin/authz (pretty buttons & spacing). Add navigation bar.
  • [groups]: Entire section to use pretty buttons please.
  • [about]: Get the about page working on test.ckan.org. (Works locally and on live).

WONTFIX ?

  • [dataset/edit]: Make 'tags' a top level form section; it is too important to go below the fold. (wontfix)
  • [groups]: Clicking a column heading should sort by that column. Default should be 'size', not 'name'. (ticket #1403)
  • ([groups]: (Investigate) Is it easy to implement a little search-groups feature?) (ticket #1403)
  • [*/authz]: Add tooltips to explain column headers. (Not required if mechanism is about to be refactored...) (wontfix: we need to rethink this mechanism; authorization refactor is coming)
  • [general]: 'Authorization' refactor to 'Permissions' on nav-bars. (wontfix, further discussion. authorization might be less techy...)
  • [search]: (Investigate) Can we quickly & easily reintegrate the faceted search-by-license but present it in the sidebar like the other facets? (wontfix: high cost and maintenance overhead; need compelling user story)

#1370 enhancement toby rgrp ckan-sprint-2012-04-30 closed fixed [super] Social sharing for datasets (and resources)

Add a way to share datasets and see mentions of datasets on twitter (and elsewhere)

As a visitor I want to share a link to a dataset I have found. I also want to see how many others have shared this (or mentioned it).

  • Sharing platform: simplest option is probably twitter but could generalize to e.g. sharethis system which supports, facebook, twitter etc etc.
    • Will need a config option for relevant API key e.g. ckan.sharethis.apikey
  • Location: Put this at top of sidebar on dataset view (a better suggsetion?)
  • Should show how many mentions / shares there are. (very important!)

Discussion

  • (Tom and Ira and ...): do we really want this, versus e.g. proper follow extension?
  • What about bringing conversation back in to CKAN. E.g. show all times this dataset (i.e. its url) was mentioned on twitter. If we do this I think this should be definite +1.
  • Also, given our users, I think just doing twitter (identica) may be sufficient (how many people want to share links to datasets on facebook?)

#1373 defect shevski ckan-sprint-2011-11-07 closed fixed home page view does not react to logging in / out

Either: thedatahub.org does not display 'add a dataset' top navigation link or the 'create dataset' main central link to logged in user - instead showing 'sign up' link in the central box. It does however display the 'my account' and 'logout' link in the top right correctly.

Navigating to another part of the site (e.g. search or about or my account) does bring the 'add a dataset' navigation link back and the functionality works.

Works fine on test.ckan.net so only on thedatahub.

Not obviously a caching problem, since I did try clearing cache.

OR: it displays as if you're logged in even when you log out. The links doesn't work and prompt you to log in though.

#1375 enhancement amercader amercader ckan-sprint-2011-10-10 closed fixed Define new package id before sending it to the IPackageController plugins

When creating a package, the package_create logic function sends the newly created package object to all plugins implementing the IPackageController interface

https://bitbucket.org/okfn/ckan/src/93194933ea75/ckan/logic/action/create.py#cl-64

At this point, the changes have not yet been commited and the id of the package is not set (It has a default value of make_uuid, which is set when commited). For this reason, plugins have no way of knowing the package id. E.g. the spatial query plugin needs to know this id to link the package extent to the actual package.

One possible solution would be to set the package id in the data dict received by package_create (if it's not defined):

from ckan.model.types import make_uuid
if not 'id' in data or not data['id']:
   data['id'] = make_uuid()

#1380 enhancement zephod zephod ckan-sprint-2011-11-07 closed fixed Making customizing CSS easier

While integrating the new theme and making a large number of UX tweaks, I've allowed the CSS file to bloat out of control with some very specific rules and subtle hacks, as well as a couple of clearfix <div> objects in the markup which isn't really good practice.

In general we want a logical CSS structure which is as easy to modify as possible. You should not find yourself being overwritten by highly specific rules all the time!

Actions

  1. Clean up css
  2. Add a config option ckan.template_head_end - arbitrary string inserted at end of <head> tag so you can add custom css etc (may also want to update theming docs to reflect possibility of using this)
  3. (While we're at it): Add ckan.template_footer_end config option to deployment.ini_template. (This already exists, we just haven't told anybody)
  4. The /users index page isn't linked anywhere. Clean it up and link it in the footer next to Groups etc.
  5. package/new, package/edit, group/new and group/edit all include their forms differently. Use h.literal in all cases.
  6. Fix the padding on minornavigation.

Background

David Read sent me the following as background:

  1. basic theming is described here: http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/theming.html

Deep customisation of the templates is done by creating an extension, with this as a template: https://bitbucket.org/okfn/ckanext-exampletheme/overview

That's what Augusto and the Brazilians have done http://alpha.dados.gov.br/dados/ and their code is here: hg clone http://dev.dados.gov.br/codigo/dev/tema-ckan <snip> Another thing of interest was us becoming compatible with Wordpress themes last December. Richard Pope worked with Rufus on this. I believe the base theme is 'twentyten' and I'm guessing that one would swap that css file with another to change theme, but I don't know. I don't know if this feature has been dropped since then. http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/ckan-dev/2010-December/000073.html

Superticket: #1343

Creation of accounts from OpenID causes large number of problems:

  • No guarantee of other profile info
  • Poor username (just from openid)

We therefore will:

  1. Require creation of user account via register (no auto-creation of accounts via openid)
    • sidebar of register page should point to login page rather than openid signin

  1. Permit association of an openid with an account ...
    • How: paste in your openid url (requires change to edit form to have this)
      • won't work for google with their weird openid urls
    • [future] Nicer way is to have login via openid while logged in (which association then happening in background)
  1. Migration (for 1+2):
    • (?) Generate decent usernames for all existing accounts
    • As this is nontrivial suggest instead we allow editing of usernames (by account owner and sysadmins). This is useful in its own right and is a reasonable 80/20 solution.
      • This does present the problem of re-associating commits with the new username. Best solution to this would be to switch revisions to point to userid rather than username. See #1534
  1. [optional] Change display_name to always be username
    • Change My Account to Username at top right of all pages (once we know usernames are short ...)
      • could do this straight away by truncating long usernames (e.g. truncate at 20 chars ...)
      • Also should we lose the icon?

  • When I click submit, it seems to add the item twice
  • On the main group page I think it just shows up once, but when I click edit it shows two identical boxes, both ticked - and the count includes two copies of the same item

Basically the problem is allowing the same package associated multiple times with a group.

Rufus and me re-deployed some community ckan instances onto s022 (see http://trac.okfn.org/ticket/926). We followed the documentation http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/install-from-package.html

  • Deb package version number: the version of the deb package is "python-ckan 1309471251~149be76faabc+lucid-1", and it's hard to guess from there that it contains a ckan 1.4.2a
  • When is 1.4.3/1.5.x expected as deb package?
  • There was a bug in the DB upgrade script /usr/share/pyshared/ckan/migration/versions/029_version_groups.py (line 150) which looks like it was fixed 1.4.1==>1.4.2 but was nevertheless present in this deb package.
  • The current script /usr/bin/ckan-std-install
    • does not set the Apache ServerName? according to the $INSTANCE variable
    • automatically configures a ckan extension named after $INSTANCE
    • depends on local postgres
    • could be replaced with "/usr/bin/ckan-deploy --name=ckan-std --domain=ckan-std.localhost (see next point)
  • (i think this is exactly James' plan): have more generic deployment script /usr/bin/ckan-deploy as part of python-ckan which takes arguments like

Still have to add a CKAN plugin so that QA will run when a resource is added or URL changed, and then update the extension controller/templates to look for QA data from the task_status table instead of directly on the resource.

#1425 enhancement zephod dread closed fixed Dataset delete button

From Jonathan gray:

At the moment to delete a package you have to go to 'state' and change from 'active' to 'deleted'.

For me this was not very obvious, and someone recently wrote to me about this too.

Its a small issue - but unless you know what 'state: active' refers to, its not obvious what this means, nor that this is where to go if you want to delete a package.

From UI perspective this could be replaced by either a trash can or some text that says 'delete', perhaps with some prompt that explains what happens when you delete a package - explaining that non-admins won't be able to see it, and how you purge, etc.

#1430 defect amercader ckan-sprint-2011-11-07 closed fixed Documents get mixed between SOLR cores

On some occasions (apparently random), the documents indexed in a specific SOLR core get mixed with different site_ids.

E.g: We look for all documents in the testing.iatiregistry.org core, faceted by site_id. We would expect all documents to have site_id = iati_testing, but some of them have site_id = iatiregistry.org

http://okfn-solr.fry-it.com:8080/solr/testing.iatiregistry.org/select?indent=on&version=2.2&q=*:*&fq=+state:active&facet=true&facet.field=site_id

<lst name="facet_fields">
<lst name="site_id">
<int name="iati_testing">265</int>
<int name="iatiregistry.org">255</int>
</lst>
</lst>

If we compare one of the records which disappeared from the "iati_testing" site_id in both the production and testing SOLR cores of the server, the records are exactly the same, including the indexed_ts property:

http://okfn-solr.fry-it.com:8080/solr/iatiregistry.org/select?indent=on&version=2.2&q=id:97d1ab0d-b203-4757-8f4e-a0c84d2f759f&facet=true&facet.field=site_id

Note that the response from the URLs shown may vary, as the testing site could have been reindexed.

#1437 defect dread dread ckan-sprint-2011-11-07 closed fixed JSONP parameter in Action API

Action API needs JSONP support - be able to return responses encapsulated in a function of a supplied name. This is important for remote sites running javascript to interact with a CKAN site.

Specifying the callback parameter is the way we've achieved JSONP with the RESTful and Search APIs. It should work like this:

curl http://test.ckan.net/api/action/package_show?callback=jsoncallback -d '{"id": "fd788e57-dce4-481c-832d-497235bf9f78"}'

Or maybe the callback should be specified in the payload in the context or data_dict?

(My understanding is that CORS is similar - when more browsers support it, can we drop JSONP?)

#1452 enhancement dread dread closed wontfix Offer detected browser language, rather than auto-switch

There are issues with setting the site's language according to the browser detection:

  • Many browsers have the language setting incorrectly set. e.g. people who download US versions of Mozilla, pirated US copies in the far east.
  • Although thedatahub.org has a worldwide audience, many CKAN instances are designed for a particular country's citizens. So Open Berlin should probably be in German as default for all.

I suggest the site should have a default language saved in the config. The browser language *should* be detected, and that prompts a flash message offering to change to that language. And if you change language that is saved in the cookie (as we currently do).

Then do some testing to see if this suits people.
