#795 story thejimmyg johnbywater ckan-v1.3 closed duplicate "Match up" GEMINI2 "metadata point of contact" with registered entities

TM wants to know how this will be "matched up". I don't know whether this always the data provider, or sometimes the publisher.

#796 defect pudo ckan-v1.3 closed invalid AlphaPage for non-latin languages

The AlphaPage? implementation assumes that all packages start with a latin character. This is not true for Russian, Chinese, Arabian and Persian languages etc. We should either use a unicode solution (i.e. display a full class of characters based on the current locale) or use generic paging instead.

#813 requirement cygri ckan-v1.3 closed fixed Add link to “Register new package” to the homepage

A link to the “register new package” page would be handy somewhere on the front page. As a frequent editor, I often go to http://ckan.net in order to create a new package. I don't want to hunt around for the link to the “new package” form.

The link could go into the bar next to “About / Statistics”. Or into the “More information” sidebar. Neither of these truly make sense, but it's a frequently accessed link and that's reason enough to put it somewhere onto the frontpage.

#814 requirement cygri ckan-v1.3 closed fixed Have an “About CKAN” link on every page

A link “About CKAN” pointing to http://ckan.net/about should be visible on every page. This is important because people often land on subpages and may have trouble figuring out what CKAN is.

I would put this link into the main navigation bar, on the very right next to “Revision History”. Then I would also remove the “Home” item from the main navigation bar because it is redundant. The CKAN logo is already a link to the homepage. The only other subpage in the “Home” section is “Statistics” and that's already linked from the homepage sidebar.

But anywhere else would be fine as well.

#817 requirement cygri ckan-v1.3 closed worksforme Proposed redesign of Resources table on package pages

There are some problems with the Resources table on package pages:

  1. The column labelled “URL” doesn't contain URLs, but just the word “Download”.
  2. The links labelled “Download” often are not download links, but something else (example links, API endpoints, documentation links).

Attached is a screenshot for a proposed redesign. The changes are:

  1. Move the Format column to the right of the Description column (description is more important)
  2. Make the description a clickable link
  3. Drop the “URL/Download” column because it's now redundant
  4. Rename “Description” to “Resource” (not that important)

#819 defect cygri ckan-backlog closed fixed Tag autocompletion widget broken

The widget for tag autocompletion is broken in various ways.

For example, if I edit a package that is tagged "music", and just tab through the form fields to get to the Author field, then the widget changes to "industrial-music" as I tab through it.

Or if the tag is "foo bar" and I hit alt-right to jump to the end of the text field (with the intent of adding a third tag), then the contents change to "foo barbecue".

#821 defect dread ckan-v1.4-sprint-2 closed worksforme Some resources have disappeared in CKAN

Simon has spotted 31 packages whose resources have disappeared in CKAN, but still appear in the Drupal front-end.

Here are the details:

  • in CKAN's package view (in web interface, API and dump) no resources display
  • but they WERE created in CKAN, as shown by the revision diffs.
  • they are in the Drupal front-end

So these resources must have been in the CKAN API at some point and then disappeared without trace/revision to alert Drupal.

There are a number of extra properties we want to store in a resource:

i.e. this is a much needed enhancement

Need to be able to read/write these values in web interface and API.

(At some point we may wish to have custom form widgets for these new fields in the resource table, but let's leave this for the future.)

Implementation

I suggest these are arbitrary key/value pairs, just like package extras, reusing PackageExtra? code as much as possible. (Other much more radical alternative is to move model to RDF.)

Create an admin dashboard as /ckan-admin/ allowing for admin operations and overview.

Possible features:

  • Purge revisions (or sets of revisions) and purge objects #1076
  • Set roles for users #1075
  • Put system into particular modes e.g. wiki mode (anyone can add, edit packages by default), data portal (only sysadmins or members of a special Editor group can create and edit packages)
    • WONTFIX
  • Overview of activity
    • WONTFIX - already have revision log

Currently have an admin section using the formalchemy admin controller to provide basic editing of model objects. This can still be used but located at /admin/model/.

#834 task Alexander ckan-v1.3 closed worksforme Searching in CKAN

Hello.

I've installed stable CKAN v1.1 from PyPI.

I can't find any docs about using CKAN API in order to query packages.

Query ./api/search/package?q=str works fine, but with extra parameters, such as limit, offset, fullinfo, order_by, search_notes, don't. Should I use new version for this? How can I perform this query via Ckanclient? Is it possible?

Also I'm interested how to find open-licensed files? I tied URL ./api/search/package?q=str&open_only=1&downloadable_only=1 and Ckanclient:

result = ckan.package_search('str', {'open_only': 1, 'downloadable_only': 1})

As result nothing found.

Thanks.

#842 enhancement johnglover rgrp ckan-v1.4-sprint-7 closed fixed Todo list CKAN extension

An extension that provides a todo list feature on CKAN so that people can register and find things to do.

Extension name: ckanext-todo

User Story

Package page

As a user I come to a package:

  • Have a todo count at that top that takes you down to the todo list (which may say nothing todo)
  • At the bottom is a section of the package display titled "ToDo?" where I see a list of all toDos for the package most recent at the top
    • If I am logged in
      • See a form for "Add to do" at the top of the todo section and can add one straight away
      • I see a "now resolved" button next to each which goes green when you hover.

When clicked the todo fades away.

  • Not logged in: I see a button that says "login to add todo"

Todo list page

When a user comes to todo overview at /todo

At top list all todo categories with counts (or a progress bar). Click on category name or bar takes you down page to list for that category.

Category list has a list of todo items (ul with li items with class todo) - link to package relevant to the todo.

Implementation

The Todo form

  • One of the fields is category -> autocomplete the category (not constrained) (lowercase, no spaces, .-_ allowed)
  • Add a description
  • Submit, the todo gets added via AJAX to the list at the top as the most recent todo

Model:

todo table

  id (autoincrement integer)
  package_id
  todo_category_id (required)
  description (required)
  created=NOW()
  resolved=null (unresolved) or a datetime (datetime of resolution)
  creator=user
  resolver=user

todo_category table
  id
  name

Prepopulate with: broken-resource-link, no-author, bad-format, add-description

API at /api/2/todo

  • GET / POST / PUT ...

/api/2/todo?package=package_id_or_name&category=...&resolved=0/1

  • support limit (?)

/api/2/todo/category -> return list of todo categories

  • No GET / PUT / POST (these are auto-created by creation of todo)

Optional Extras (Will not be done atm)

  • Integrate todo tags (e.g. list packages tagged with a todo.{xxx} on Todo List page ...

This is a meta-ticket to pull together all the work on SOLR as a backend for CKAN search. (Work on SOLR search has been going on since March of 2010).

3 key aspects of this:

  • Index package information in SOLR - ticket:353 - SOLR search indexing (index CKAN)
    • Synchronously (generify Search Index update method to support SOLR or postgres?) - #317: Make search pluggable
    • Asynchroously: via worker with queue
      • #324 Search indexing using notifications
      • #669: Refactor Solr (indexer) to become a generic worker
      • #874: Extract Solr search backend into an extension
  • In core support using SOLR backend as well as postgres for queries
    • #317: Make search pluggable (?)
  • Integrate into WUI (if changes needed)
    • #672 - Facets in CKAN search results

  2. datapkg upload (client) (by default without key) (plumbing done)

The infamous exim bug only needs one mail with prepared headers to travel through a exim system infect it. All local processes could do that, and some services (e.g. cron, webapps) send messages and might be convinced by malicious remote users to produce evil headers.

We should either rule out that this could happen on our systems, or upgrade all exims regardless of whether they are localhost-only or not.

BTW did we already run a rootkit checker like Rootkit hunter on eu1? If not we should maybe do it now - there was already an exploit out in the wild. ByteMark? has (a) already observed infections and (b) notified us because they remotely fingerprinted our mailer to be exim<4.70 (our EHLO banner contains the exim version), just as anyone could.

For dataproxy:

  • Remove content-lenght for csv requirement: just read the first x rows (up to some configurable maximum)
  • Google docs style row/column selections
  • Use the swiss library - https://bitbucket.org/okfn/swiss
    • Support google docs spreadsheets (format = service/gdocs/ccc or gdocs/ccc or gdocs/spreadsheet)
  • Handle redirects for content-length?
  • Ignore resource type if not recognized and fall-back to trying to identify from extension (or mime-type?)

For dataapi:

  • Ensure we pass on resource format as part of redirect i.e. /api/data/{id} -> {dataproxy}?url={resource-url}&type={resource-type}

Questions

  • Do we only want to download openly licensed information? ANS: no, we do everything (though do need to think about this re. IP issues)
  • Should we have clever ways to dump APIs? ANS: no.
  • Do we respect robots.txt even for openly licensed information? ANS: No (we're not crawling we're archiving)
  • Use HTTP/1.1 Caching headers? ANS: if not changed since we last updated don't bother to recache.
    • Complete support for ETags
    • Expires, Max-Age etc.
  • Check

Functionality

  • Download files via HTTP, HTTPS (will not do FTP)

Process:

  1. [Archiver.Update checks queue (automated as part of celery)]
  2. Open url and get any info from resource on cache / content-length etc
    1. If FAILURE status: update task_status table (could retry if not more than 3 failures so far). Report task failure in celery
    2. Check headers for content-length and content-type ...
      • IF: content-length > max_content_length: EXIT (store outcomes on task_status, and update resource with size and content-type and any other info we get?)
      • ELSE: check content-type.
        • IF: NOT data stuff (e.g. text/html) then EXIT. (store outcomes and info on resource)
        • ELSE: archive it (compute md5 hash etc)
      • IF: get content-length and content-length unchanged GOTO step 4
  3. Archive it: connect to storage system and store it. Bucket: from config, Key: /archive/{timestamp}/{resourceid}/filename.ext
    • Add cache url to resource and updated date
    • Add other relevant info to resource such as md5, content-type etc
  4. Update task_status

Optional functionality

  • If result object is HTML, search for references to "proper data" (CSV download pages etc.)
  • Download from POST forms (accepting licenses or weird proprietary systems)
  • Support running on Google Apps Engine to save traffic costs.
