Add logic functions for getting the activity stream for a dataset in JSON and rendered HTML formats, add HTML activity stream into dataset page.

Dump and load JSON explicitly instead.

Set-up publicdata.eu to harvest datasets at rs.ckan.net (Serbian community CKAN).

Theme the DGU form.

Doesn't need to be an exact replica of DGU, but just enough to show it's possible.

Super ticket: #1506

Need to decide which term to use and then have the same for editing as well as viewing a dataset.

In creating/editing a dataset, want more explanation about adding extra fields (probably as a tooltip or similar).. i.e. that this let's you add extra custom metadata such as 'location: uk' which is then searchable etc

Datasets should have a field that specifies the language used in the dataset, this should be a two character ISO 639-1 code (see ​http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes for list) . Also make sure all tests and migrations are resolved. [2d]

Determine the best approach to having 'translation_of' references to show which dataset the current one is a translation of. This may be a translation of field, or a 'copied from' field or another form of package relationship. [2d]

To support multiple languages we should have an easy way to specify the language as part of the URL, so that URLs are both specific and we also reduce the dependency on the session.

• Analysis [1d] - Find the best way of implementing this and how everyone else does their language URLs.

• Write Middleware + update url_for to take account of the language. [2d]

• Document the language setup, and how to replicate it. [1d]

Time estimate: 2d

• Fix logs (apache, ckan, harvest): rotate, set suitable levels
• Fix harvesting jobs: supervisord for gather consumer, cron job
• Fix backups

Also it may be worth setting up a test instance ( on s023 ?)

Provide configuration for reverse proxying that will correctly handle the mapping of a URL to a sub-folder (using X-SCRIPT-NAME)

• Analysis of the best solution [1d]

• Implement reverse proxying in tandem with #1653 [2d]

• Document and store the configuration files. [1d]

If you set WSGIScriptAlias to mount CKAN at a URL other than / then you cannot logout without adjusting the OpenID logged_out_url to match in who.ini config. e.g.

[plugin:openid] ... logged_out_url = /sub/dir/user/logged_out

Note: all the other URLs in who.ini should not have the /sub/dir/ - it is just this one that doesn't take account of the mounting point.

The solution is to fix-up the repoze.who OpenID plugin to take account of the mounting point.

Mounting CKAN at a non-root URL was made to work properly here: #1659

Unfortunately OpenID doesn't play nicely and would require some work to get working.

We already have simple activity streams for groups that have new group or group updated events (see #1631). Smarter/more useful group activity streams would also contain the events for things related to the group: users, datasets, other groups, etc.

This should just mean using a more complex SQL query in the group_activity_list() logic function.

Things might get tricky when a user or dataset joins a group, this may show up as two events (the user or dataset was modified, and the group was modified). We may want to have two separate events for this (one to go in the user or dataset activity stream and one for the group), or maybe we just want one 'user/dataset joined group' event.

...and show them on the tag pages.

This means adding tag_activity_list() and tag_activity_list_html() logic functions, adding the templating to render tags as HTML, and adding the tag HTML into the tag pages.

What exactly should go into a tag's activity stream? As with datasets we may want a more complex SQL query, where events from objects related to the tag (datasets, users, etc.) appear in the tag's stream.

Super #1669

Analysis of all permissions for users given their publishers to ensure that we have covered all of the bases and haven't missed any use-cases.

Super #1669

Authz for normal users in publisher profile as per sysadmin

Super #1669

Test all of the new auth logic hooks for publisher profile to make sure they work as expected. Also make sure that we have a test to compare the naming of the core auth funcs with the profile hooks (so we can see what may have changed in one but not the other).

Super #1669

Editor authz for publisher groups need to be implemented and tested.

Right now you need to explicitly load the synchronous_search plugin in your ini file, when this is probably the behaviour that all users expect by default. We could keep a config flag to deactivate it, but synchronous search should be the default behaviour.

Document all of the changes and usage for #1574 so that we can mark it 'done done'.

Make sure we document any setup issues/processes and the settings.py setup required for CKAN so that Mark can announce next week and it should be easily deployable/testable.

Internal (perhaps in README somewhere or wiki): how does process work, where does data end up and in what order etc

External: here's how to configure it and here's what you get ... (goes in main sphinx docs)

On each page of package search results, all the items are neatly sorted apart from the last item of the page. SOLR gets the sorting of the results incorrect.

This is a known issue: ​https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1777 affecting SOLR 1.4 only (which comes with Ubuntu 10.04)

It is highlighted in CKAN test ckan/tests/functional/test_pagination.py:TestPaginationPackage of commit 39096ed54bda86d043521b08b2e14fc5e283a0ff which fails most of the time it is run (passes intermittently).

We need an API for changing the authorization (permissions) on a model object.

This was neglected in #1253 because of various changes to authz were looming. But six months later it still hasn't been done.

Suggest this is just moving _add_user_object_role from ckan/lib/base.py to the logic layer, but no doubt it will be more complicated.

Estimate: 3 days

Needed to support automated deployment more easily.

Est: 15m

We should try and move register_pluggable_behaviour into environment and out of routing as it is causing import issues when using simple search.

These functions already take a map and so they should be fine any time after the call to make_map

Suggested by Richard Cyganiak in ​http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/ckan-discuss/2012-January/001977.html

• new relationship type links_to / linked_from
  • Maybe with extra 'count' property?
• creating a new relationship should be post to the relationship register, not the source entity.
• add missing doc about creating a new relationship
• 'Model Formats' section seems to be missed out of the docs since release 1.4.2. See: ​http://readthedocs.org/docs/ckan/en/ckan-1.4.2/api/version2.html#model-formats

Add drupal-like "taxonomies" to CKAN.

Etherpad with user stories, feature list, design and implementation discussion:

​http://ckan.okfnpad.org/22

Branch where this is being developed is feature-1698-tag-taxonomies:

​https://github.com/okfn/ckan/compare/master...feature-1698-tag-taxonomies

Tickets related to this have ​keyword taxonomies.

Document deployment on tenforce test server.

Make sure accented characters are normalized when indexed and when searched for.

Eurostat datasets mainly.

Enable ckanext's to add new vocabularies to default_package_schema(), use the new vocabularies in templates for dataset view, create, edit pages, helper function for extensions to create a vocabulary schema for a given vocabulary name (must match a vocab already in the db) and add it to default package schema.

The SOLR url, user and password defined in the CKAN config file are ignored and the default SOLR url is used.

This causes:

• "0 datasets" displayed on the home page
• Dataset searches result in 0 results and a small message "There was an error while searching". (Nothing about it in the logs)

To reproduce

This bug is only visible if your SOLR instance is not at the default place. To quickly reproduce this problem, setup your machine as a SOLR multicore instance and run: "paster db clean && paster create-test-data && paster serve development.ini". It quits with the error: "solr.core.SolrException?: HTTP code=400, reason=Missing solr core name in path"

Code affected

• Does not affect any released versions (1.5.1 is clean).
• Introduced to master: ​https://github.com/okfn/ckan/commit/627382e6ff575146da221efc50321a41152d8b0f by Ross

We want to make email announcements to users of thedatahub.org.

The most simple way to do this is to get a dump of the email addresses and subscribe/invite them to a mailman list.

Different ways to do it:

• 'paster dump-users-csv' creates a CSV file. Apache serves up the directory using password protection. Is this secure enough?
• CKAN admin pages provides a button to produce the CSV and download it. A config option may be necessary to enable this (disabled by default).

Something more advanced in the future could be:

• CKAN tells mailman about new subscribers using the mailman web interface. Could be brittle.
• Mailman doesn't have an Internet API, but it does have a python interface. So CKAN could tell mailman about new subscribers using a python proxy. There may be one out there, or maybe easy to do. But annoying to have to maintain another process running on machine.
• CKAN sends out the emails itself. A sysadmin is given a form. Users have an opt in/out option in their account. But receiving emails is a sensitive thing so it would need to be right first time, and there are several risks to this approach.

CKAN provides the /data page page of data.gov.uk

To allow navigation between sections to still work, also potentially rephrase to avoid confusion that you have to save every time to add a tag or resource and can't say add description, tag and resource in one go

Super ticket: #1506

e.g. ​http://thedatahub.org/user The users with Gravatar have their nice user icons, but the majority of users (without Gravatars) have 'broken link' symbols. Same problem wherever users are shown, such as the dataset history pages.

Broken on 1.5.2b - currently on thedatahub.org.

In the tag-taxonomies branch tags now (optionally) belong to vocabularies and where tags previously had unique names, a CKAN instance can now have two tags with the same name as long as they belong to different vocabularies. The tests for the tags model should probably be updated to reflect this.

Other tests might also need to be updated.

If you use tag autocompletion, it automatically adds a comma after the tag. This is fine if you are going to add another tag, but not fine if it is the last one. If you don't manually remove the final comma than you get form validation error "Tag string: Tag "" length is less than minimum 2"

Affects only version 1.5.2a.

Right now is quite difficult to get the most current version of a package via the harvest objects, and the queries involved are prone to errors. A new "current" field will be added which will identify unequivocally the most recent harvested object. Unfortunately this will involve some major changes:

• Model update (See #1726)
• Update queries for getting harvest sources' datasets
• Update ckanext-csw queries for getting the objects
• Update inspire and ckan harvesters
• Document new field

Add a helper function to make it easy for extensions to add new vocabularies to default_package_schema(). The helper function should take the name or ID of a vocabulary (which should already exist in the db) and add the necessary key: [schema] entry to default_package_schema(), with the necessary validation, authorisation, transformation.

Estimate: 4-5d

Only sysadmins can manage harvest sources right now, we need to allow publishers to handle their own sources.

We need to decide if there will be two different profiles on ckanext-harvest, the current one with only sysadmins allowed to manage the harvesting and a new one supporting publishers (ckan core can be configured to not use the publisher model)

Tasks include:

• Auth checks on the different controller actions (and the command line interface?)
• Modify the index page to just show sources the logged user has permissions on.

(Talk with Ross about the specific functions to use)

• Create/edit form to show a dropdown with the user available publishers.

Right now harvest sources can be inactivated (only via the cli), but we need to make sure:

• Expose this on the web interface (only for sysadmins, see #1731)
• Inactive sources are not shown in the web interface

Also for deleted packages:

a) Deleted packages get state="deleted" (not actually purged) so they are hidden on front end ACTION: need a button on the front end for "Delete" for sysamdins

Done in #1425. Not sure if the button is only shown to sysadmins.

b) No undelete: If you reharvest a deleted package, it remains deleted

• Publisher should create a new record with new identifier and same/different content as applicable.
• If publisher reharvests, a deleted document they get a error and are told to create new identifier for their updated.
• You won't get the state where a package is updated in its deleted state
• If they change the ID and reharvest, a new record appears on DGU.

c) Update CSW interface so that export doesn't export deleted packages d) Check geospatial search doesn't search deleted pacakges e) Check deleted packages don't appear in harvest source details, or in the counts or anywhere in the harvest interface or API.

Super ticket #1744

If you edit a dataset, simply add a tag and click on "Save" then you get the message "You have unsaved changed. Make sure to click 'Save Changes' below before leaving this page." inserted whilst the submission takes place. (This is because the click moves focus away from the tag field). This (reasonably common) edge-case could usefully be squashed.

Also note typo: "unsaved changed"

Super ticket: #1745

• Convert /api/rest/dataset to be search query (i.e. take arguments in ?....)
• Directly expose solr though may want to override limit. See ​https://github.com/okfn/openspending/blob/master/openspending/ui/controllers/api.py#L48

Required for some improvements to UX (such as autocomplete and better search).

Test failures in master due to tom and rufus not running tests. 0.3d.

It is possible to create a group or a dataset called new, or edit, which will then be inaccessible as it is blocked by the existing routes with those names.

We should maintain a list of invalid names in the verification that happens behind the scenes in the UI.

Super ticket: #1506

• Show edit summary form again, at least on edit pages (and prefill it for create to something sensible like: Creating dataset {title} {name}) [Done #1506]
• Fix drop down for resource types in resource add/edit to limit to fixed set of options (as per ​http://wiki.ckan.org/Domain_Model/Resource)
  • See also ​http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/ckan-discuss/2011-December/001860.html
• Allow reordering of resources (or: and this is somewhat more complex but possibly simpler: allow editing of a resource_order field and we use that to sort resources (this is more like wordpress page_order -- these two options could become the same if we just hijack the existing position field on the join table and get rid of ordereredlist extension)) [DONE #1506]
• Radically simplify set of licenses [DONE #1359]
• "Unsaved changes" warning briefly when you click "Save" #1735
• "Unsaved changed" typo on dataset edit page
