When an extra is added to or removed from a dataset or is updated, an activity should go in the dataset's and user's activity streams.

The publisher index page should show a treeview of the publishers within the system. Probably behind a tab.

Ensure publisher edit page only allows admins to manage users. #1675 is related.

Get access to live Drupal MySQL database to get latest publisher list for migration.

Write a one-off script for import of the data.

A new form for create publisher -> Add publisher access to your account' New wizard Autocomplete publisher name if linked from publisher view. Email address used to publish should be activated/validated on first use. Original email still used to log in.

Which is where the other API tests have now been moved.

Add API calls for adding one or more tags to and removing one or more tags from a vocabulary, without affecting the other tags in that vocabulary and without having to pass the full list of the vocabulary's tags.

A new table with 3 columns should be added. term, term_tranlastion, language_code. This table will be used for all translations, including tags. The table should have indexs on both the term and (term, language_code) combination.

Add api to translation to the term_translation table.

• add to logic 2d
• test 1d

The HTML templates for some activity stream activities link to objects (packages, resources, etc.) by their names, e.g. /dataset/foo, but if the object has since been renamed then the link will be broken.

Possible solutions are to use the object ID to find its current name at rendering time and link to that, or link to the object by ID rather than by name.

Linking by ID is both simpler to implement and better. Links by ID are ugly, but they are permanent and don't break when an object is renamed. We should be using links by ID everywhere on CKAN, so that when third-party sites copy-paste our URLs and link to us, their links don't break later.

Fixing this means fixing the dataset_link(), resource_link(), group_link() etc. functions in ckan/lib/helpers.py which will change the links everywhere in CKAN where those functions are used to link to objects (which should be everywhere where we link to an object).

If we want to have nice looking by-name URLs and what them to be permanent, then we need to change CKAN so that objects cannot be renamed.

From Antonia Acuno, via Ira:

It appears that the current layout for the datahub does not work in IE7, which would mean a problem for us as most gov uses it and is one of those we have to support...any views?

Tested in several gov departments computers, so a common enough issue.

​http://imgur.com/ip4xa

From Rufus: We haven't officially supported IE7 so far but can put engineering effort into this if absolutely needed. I note that IE 7 is now 3y out of date and is likely a security risk. Obviously this is something to ask Antonio about.

The api currently uses the default validation schemas regardless of the form you specified on the front end. There should be a way to post through the api using the same validation rules.

Changes to publishers for customer that would otherwise clutter up the master branch.

lxml is used in CKAN core in two places:

• ckan/lib/helpers.py:239 Parsing Markdown and ensuring it is valid XML (i.e. tags close nicely so the HTML of the rest of the CKAN page is not disruptable).
• reading the SOLR config XML to determine what version it is.

Both of these could be done with xml.dom built into Python and would save us a sizeable and slightly problematic dependency.

lxml is needed by these extensions: ckanext-inspire, ckanext-harvest, ckanext-csw & ckanext-wordpresser, so we'd have to add this to their requirements.

You get an exception if you use the API to search packages and specify a non-ascii character in a field other than q.

For example:

http://catalogue.data.gov.uk/api/search/package?title=%E2%80%93

This "N-dash" (Unicode character 2013) causes this exception:

Module ckan.controllers.api:460 in search
<<                      if ver in u'12':
                               # Otherwise, put all unrecognised ones into the q parameter
                               params = convert_legacy_parameters_to_solr(params)
                           query = query_for(model.Package)
                           results = query.run(params)
>>  params = convert_legacy_parameters_to_solr(params)
Module ckan.lib.search.query:38 in convert_legacy_parameters_to_solr
<<      for search_key in non_solr_params:
               value_obj = legacy_params[search_key]
               value = str(value_obj).replace('+', ' ')
               if search_key == 'all_fields':
                   if value:
>>  value = str(value_obj).replace('+', ' ')
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2013' in position 30: ordinal not in range(128)

This problem affects CKAN 1.5 and 1.5.1 only.

You can reset your password (#1186) but you have to know the URI (/user/reset) - there is no link to this page!

eg 404 page

create a 404 error via a bad url - translation links go to /document/error not the actual bad url

For EC Portal need a page (or HTML snippet embedded in the front page?) listing recently added or updated datasets.

• Could be generated from the activity streams

• Should it list datasets only, or other activities as well?

• May be related to #1785 (Replace 'Revisions' page with site-wide activity stream)

Some request exceptions are currently not being caught (see the celery log on thedatahub for examples)

Tasks include:

Estimate 4d

• Update requirements (git)
• Search facets error
• Error on dataset read (extras in context)
• Url generator for rdf
• Make templates work with latest theme
• Use dicts in templates (isopen())

Estimate [2-3d]

If possible, it should work with both 1.5.1 and 1.6.

Needed for PDEU, also at some point for IATI

Search index code needs to use package_dictize so that it can get the new vocablurary information and is more consistant with the rest of the system. This is in preperation for their translation being put in the search indexer.

This extension point needs to combine.

• Making sure the correct data get put in search index.
• Make the search queries are modified to weight multilingual search correctly.
• View pages, including search results are translated.
• Bring together all search schema modifications.

Done on branch feature-1698-tag-taxonomies

Recline v0.3 has introduced some breaking changes in API and usage. Upgrade to use it.

Allow OpenID to be disabled as a login option.

Currently (CKAN 1.6) there is a config option openid_enabled which stops the login option being displayed, but:

• In the User edit form you can still add your OpenID
• The repoze.who.openid middleware is still required - can it be avoided?

This is a reworking of the existing apps extension.

Initial proposal at ​http://wiki.ckan.org/Proposals#Apps_in_CKAN and ​http://wiki.ckan.org/Proposals#References.2FLinks_in_CKAN

Naming

What do we call this extension?

• related
  • RP best IMO but perhaps too close to separate relationships concept?
• relatedstuff
• links
• references

Proposal

"Related Stuff": Apps as in an application (website/service/tool) that uses this dataset (as in Apps and Ideas extension)

• This case seems a general example of wanting to link some external thing to a dataset (e.g. this policy paper refs this dataset, this application uses this dataset, this visualization is built on this dataset cf ​http://lists.okfn.org/pipermail/ckan-discuss/2011-August/001607.html)

Implementation

New table named Related with following structure

|| id (int) || type || title || description (markdown) || image_url || owner_id || url || created (timestamp)

• type = Idea | App | API | Visualization | Post | Paper | News Article
  • Suggest we make this a ckan.ini config option (comma separated ...?)
    • Do we want the possibility of different templates for different types of Related objects?

• image: ?? Depends where we store images. Simplest option would be to change to image_url and leave it to users to have already uploaded an image somewhere. If not we need to support image uploading and storage. See #1692 (add image attribute to datasets and groups) for more discussion, once implemented the URL here can be an internal url.

• owner_id = user_id or creating user (see authorization below)

Related2Dataset (note that related_id, dataset_id tuple should be unique). This allows for m2m connections. If a given related item is only with one dataset this could be simplified. May contain status so dataset owner can turn this on/off.

|| id || dataset_id || related_id || status

status should be used to allow for a dataset owner (for dataset_id) to de-activate the relationship between the dataset and the related.

Url

• /dataset/{dataset-name}/related/{related-item-id}/{related-item-title-stringified}
  • If a reference item could exist in its own right (and perhaps refer to multiple datasets then it should get its own url at e.g. /related/{id}
• /dataset/{dataset-name}/related/add => Modal dialog on related tab so we can use API to create them.

/dataset/{id}/related <- list

• use image_url for small icon etc, title description (shortened?)
• Click through to full related item (optional)
• dataset owner is shown show / hide button ... (or on /dataset/{id}/related/{id} )
• related owner sees an edit button / icon (pops up modal)

/dataset/{id}/related/{id} (optional)

/dataset/{id} will have a Related tab (with bubble with count).

• Drop down with Add Related -> Pop-up modal and save via API

(Not used: /related/add with dataset prefilled ... )

/related/{id}/edit

Authorization

Addition of related item be considered orthogonal to datasets (and hence with separate authorization i.e. i can add the info that site X uses dataset Y without needing permission to edit dataset Y).

Thus any logged in user could add a Related item. We set the owner of the related item to creating user and going forward only that user or a sysadmin can update or delete.

NB: we could have a system where datasets owners have to approve related items before they show up next to their dataset. This would add substantial complexity so I propose we leave out of phase 1.

All strings from the ckanext-ecportal extension (and from CKAN core) need to be exported to a pot file to send to tenforce.

It is necessary to add a helper method to Group for adding members to that group so that

• nobody needs to work with the Member model
• It handles existing membership and existing membership with a different capacity

need to sort cookies etc

should work with nginx and varnish

Since my last pull I'm getting a strange new error which is presumably to do with my local config or assumptions about the storage extension.

Test output here: ​https://gist.github.com/2007985

• Get rid of jquery UI
  • Requires switching to bootstrap lookahead plus a small bit of coding for ajax part (see ​https://gist.github.com/2007241)
• Remove modernizr (what do we use it for?)
• Convert jquery.tmpl to jquery mustache (?)
• Remove ckanjs moving core parts of it directly into our code.

Compress everything for releases and add minified version to build (with switch to enable use of this?)

IGroupForm should allow overriding of non-edit templates so that it can specify the index +/or search +/or view.

Because of a clash between two development branches there is some duplication of code to do with code facets (note: at the time of writing the code duplication exists only on the feature-1821-multilingual-extension branch, but this will be merged into master at some point):

The package_search() function is adding the search facets to the search results twice with two different data structures, with keys "facets" and "new_facets". It should be reduced to just the new facets (with the key changed to "facets").

Also the group and package controllers are adding both facets and new_facets to the context, should be new_facets only (but renamed to facets).

The facet_items() function in helpers.py should be removed, it uses the old facets structure and shouldn't be needed anymore with the new facets structure.

In facets.html, facet_sidebar() should be removed as it uses the old facets structure and facet_div() implements the same functionality but uses the new facets.

In facets.html, facet_list_items() will have to be updated to not use the facet_items() helper and to use the new facets structure instead.

Anywhere that "new_facets" appears it will have to be changed to "facets" (e.g. in the ckanext/multilingual/plugin.py.

This is the merge commit that introduced the duplication: ​https://github.com/okfn/ckan/commit/1153aa876f54c22289e460aeececea22d1d4d51d

This is the earlier commit where the search facets were refactored: ​https://github.com/okfn/ckan/commit/3970e52008b75933fda1be1d488bed2578d98c9c

In some cases this exception is fired when building the search index. As explained in #1616 this makes the whole process stop.
