'Add dataset to organization' button, when you get through to the third stage of the new dataset form the organization you came from is not selected.

I don't see any option to choose the group when adding or updating a dataset, but if I add a dataset via the "Add dataset to group" button on a group's page, then the dataset seems to get added to that group. (And I can also add/remove existing datasets by editing the group.) I wonder if organizations should work the same way, instead of having an Organization drop-down when creating or updating a dataset. The add dataset page needs to somehow indicate that you're adding a dataset to a certain group or organization though, doesn't currently.

On same cases this exception is thrown when logging in:

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'name'

At the paster db init command when installing ckan from source I get the error "Import Error: cannot import name UnicodeMultiDict?" (happens with both ckan 1.4.2 and today's latest bleeding edge code, on Ubuntu 10.04.3).

UnicodeMultiDict? has been removed in a recent version of python-webob, and the pip install ... lucid_missing.txt causes a too-new version of python-webob to be installed into ckan's virtualenv (the new webob gets installed as a dependency of formalchemy).

I manually did pip uninstall webob and then ran paster db init again and it worked.

On ckan.net 1.3.1b, click on "Search" in the Navigator. Now both "Search" and "New Package" are highlighted.

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"

ckan/templates/home/index.html contains:

<h1 class="page_heading">Welcome to ${g.site_title}!</h1>

which means that just "Welcome to" ends up in the ckan.po files for translation. This makes the phrase untranslatable in languages that have a different word ordering than English where the site title needs to be somewhere other than at the end of the sentence.

An internal server error was reported when trying to create a new package (not when editing):

WebApp? Error: <class 'sqlalchemy.exceptions.IntegrityError?'>: (IntegrityError?) null value in column "name" violates not-null constraint 'INSERT INTO package (id, name, title, version, url, author, author_email, maintainer, maintainer_email, notes, license_id, state, revision_id) VALUES (%(id)s, %(name)s, %(title)s, %(version)s, %(url)s, %(author)s, %(author_email)s, %(maintainer)s, %(maintainer_email)s, %(notes)s, %(license_id)s, %(state)s, %(revision_id)s)' {'maintainer': None, 'name': None, 'author': None, 'author_email': None, 'notes': None, 'title': None, 'maintainer_email': None, 'url': None, 'state': 'active', 'version': None, 'license_id': None, 'revision_id': '0141c09c-4eb3-4dda-a6b1-e07f2c73b4c5', 'id': '7fe16a29-f183-471a-99c5-2c2e81dd86e4'}

The error could not be reproduced in a non-apache/mod_wsgi environment, even with a dump of the live database. Further investigation by manual editing of the package form left the "groups" field as the likely cause. After updating the packages installed, and temporarily editing the package controller the problem vanished after a restart of the web server.

Possible causes include:

• Stale pyc file
• Threading issue
• Dependency issue

As the problem is gone for now, it cannot be further investigated atm.

thedatahub.org/about contains info that is very general to the CKAN and really quite technical. The text should be changed to be both specific to thedatahub.org and provide the context in a non-technical way. It should be easy to customise the About page to be appropriate for say new-york.ckan.net - a bit of info about who runs it, plus the general stuff about CKAN powering it and it was written by OKF to further open data.

e.g. if I just changed a member's capacity I am not adding anything 'save' is better maybe

It's not good to have ckanext doing lots of different things with different dependencies. Split it off into:

• ckanext-importlib

etc.

And then deprecate the ckanext repo itself.

When viewing a dataset, it would be nice to show a couple of 'Related Datasets'. i.e. ones that are similar.

SOLR has a feature for finding documents similar to a particular document, called 'More Like This'.

We would like this for DGU.

I have just deny visitors the create-user permission:
sudo -u ckanstd paster --plugin=ckan roles deny reader create-user -c /etc/ckan/std/std.ini
sudo -u ckanstd paster --plugin=ckan roles deny anon_editor create-user -c /etc/ckan/std/std.ini

and after restarting, the register link is *not* hidden, but now when you access the register page, it shows you this message "Unauthorized to create a user" (when not logged in). But anyway that is an improvement.

We default to sort packages search results by "search rank", but we can change it to be "name", "title", "metadata_modified" date, "metadata_created" date. It works in the API now, so let's have (say) a drop-down in the Web UI for this.

Follows on from #191.

the "add your own data" link in "Try another search term, browse the datasets below or add your own data." here ​http://s031.okserver.org:2375/dataset?q=stuff doesn't take you to add a dataset, just back to the search/datasets page

(should leave priviledges alone)

paster db load ckan.pgdump will load in the database but not update the search index, no we're using SOLR.

implementation

We can't tack on 'rebuild' to this command, because it needs a 'db upgrade' first. I'm tempted to make 'db load' do the upgrade and rebuild all in one command.

On harvest page: ​http://s031.okserver.org:2375/harvest the checkbox appears above the text and not clear what it refers to/

Beter to relocate to the left (as on publicdata.eu) see screenshots attached.

Only tests with failing --ckan-migration fail, due to authz not being initialised.

I think it would be nice to have all form pages monitor their forms - excluding search ones - and if a field has changed then warn the user that they have not saved the form data but are leaving the page.

This would help with things like changing resources on the add dataset resource form etc.

Regression found by updating datacatalogs.

I've just started writing the importer from cap.open.org.nz and was running an initial import of just the package name and titles. The packages were created however I received a 500 error in response:

The server should not respond with a 500 error if the package was created.

Tests marked decorated "@search_related" should only be run against postgresql, but in fact they don't get run at all.

You get redirected for a number of different reasons - often confuses me let alone the average user!

Change the visual style of CKAN to be more like these sites:

• GitHub?
• Quora
• Google Projects

This does not include major UX work.

When POSTing to the API, if specified, the 'Content-Type' header must be blank or 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'. Otherwise we get an error like: "Bad request - JSON Error: Could not extract request body data: Bad content type: \'; charset=utf-8\'""

The problem is that this is a very reasonable header to send. Indeed requests 0.14 sends this particular header.

This affects all versions of CKAN.

This is due to webob/requests.py:1248 being pretty basic.

As CKAN grows, more and more optional representations of packages will become used. Besides RDF (which is the motivation for this ticket), support for DSPL, home-grown XML, or CSV listings is imaginable.

To properly support this CKAN should have an extensible representation registry that can be extended when new output types become available (and without changing the API in the process). This needs to integrate in two places:

• We need to add support for file format extensions to the package handler and REST API.
• We need to add HTTP content type negotiation (Accept headers).

To support this we should have a registry with two registers:

• to map format extensions to mime types (e.g. "json" -> "application/json")
• to map mime types and entity types to converter functions (e.g. 8"application/json", ckan.model.Package) -> func(obj, mime_type) )

This should be set up on load_environment so that IConfigurer plugins can feed into it.

The registry should then first be added to _finish in the REST API (which needs to be refactored to be passed the {format} part of the URL if one is given. Based on the format part and HTTP headers, an appropriate representation can be generated by the registry and then be returned to the user.

Forwarding of requests to the regular WUI controllers with Accept headers set or a format specified can be implemented in a separate effort.

The create_activity() logic function already exists, but validation and authorization need to be added before it's hooked up to an API call.

This could be implemented as a separate API call, or the rendered text versions of the activities could be added into the JSON returned by the existing API call.

This requires setting up templates for rendering activity streams items and detail items as nice, human-readable text.

There are some open questions, e.g.: Do we want the entire activity stream rendered as a block of plain text? As HTML? Or do we want a list of JSON objects, where each object contains its textual and/or HTML representations as fields?

Activity stream items and their related detail items are separate objects that each have their own textual representations.

For a mockup of the kind of text messages we want, see:

​http://datahub.pudo.org/pudo

but note that this ticket is just for creating the text snippets themselves, not rendering then in an HTML page or RSS feed. Also the mockup only show activity items and not their detail items.

Now that ckanext-storage is back into the core (v1.6), CKAN documentation should probably contain info on ​Storate Metadata API.

Notes on the CKAN API from Aron:

• Server returns text/html for errors even when "Accept: application/json" header is set.
• DELETE package request requires a Content-Length? Should be 405 Method Not Allowed?
• Tag returned as a JSON object when updating but as a string when requesting. Same with "extras" content.
• How to remove key from "extras" object? Passing None as described in the docs is invalid JSON and using null doesn't work.
• Tags return package names rather than ids when querying GET /tag/{id}
• Doesn't return rendered_text property on package update.
• Relationships use "object" key rather than id or package_id.

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.

Needs to delete all harving jobs and harvested documents, and probably to purge all packages (perhaps just delete?).

Add Group editing page.

If no permissions to change group can't edit group. Also cannot view edit page.

Editable attributes: name, title, description

No preview needed

In Slovakia users are expecting from sites to be able to search without typing accents, for example if they do not have SK keyboard, just US. For example searching for: 'Obyvateľstvo' and 'obyvatelstvo' (population) or 'štatistika' and 'statistika' (statistics) should yield same results.

This should work the other way around as well, as some people might enter entries without accents into CKAN instance and others might search with accents.

For SK language simple ASCII transliteration for searched term and indexed words is sufficient (iconv ASCIITRANSLIT).

The about page for the DataHub? (thedatahub.org/about) could be improved. More importantly the default about page for a generic CKAN instance should be completely different - focus more on Open Data rather than the community hub idea (as this is more relevant for most installations) and remove specific references to tdh.

Based on a section of AccessControl design: WUI gives controls to user and administrator to change permissions on a package.

Create in the model basic operation of Access Control.

roles table

name | context | action
-----------------------
admin| package | edit
admin| package | edit-permissions
admin| package | read
editor| package | update
editor| package | read
reader| package | read
This data is set-up on db init and will have no interface.

user-roles table:

username | context_type | objectid | role
rgrp     | system  | n/a | admin
visitor  | package | * | reader
bob      | package | geonames | admin
visitor  | package | geonames | editor
visitor  | package | geonames | reader
john     | group | ukgov | admin
dread    | group | ukgov | editor
visitor  | group | ukgov | reader
This data will be added when someone is given permissions for the system, a package or a group.

Pseudo code:

class Package

def is_allowed(name, action):

is_allowed(name, action, context=self)

class Group

def is_allowed(name, action):

is_allowed(name, action, context=self)

def is_allowed(name, action, context=None): name: string - a username or IP for 'visitor'

action: string - 'read', 'edit', 'delete', 'edit-permissions' context: object - a Group or a Package or None (which means system)

Should be able to limit ability to a user's ability to do things with packages (read, edit etc). This is a big ticket (it may required splitting) and full details are in separate wiki page: AccessControl.

Provide an API to the logic layer at /api/action.

A good service API needs to be discoverable, so you are not always having to refer to the documentation html.

Maybe /api/action should return a list of actions available? (Currently this returns a 404.)

• It would be nice to sort these into get/create/update/delete.
• #1438 Parameters for each of the actions must be discoverable too

/api/action/{action_name} should also return the help text / parameters allowable. (Currently this returns 400 error)

Focusing on improving Action API as the v3 API:

• have an optional parameter of the data_dict called "options". Options would contain items that would get passed into the context. e.g. {"options" : {"ref_package_by": "id"}}.
• instead of using API version to change the way packages are referenced, use the ref_package_by.
• All package_show, group_show etc. to accept an object 'name' as an alternative to object 'id'.
• Action API is v3 of api, replacement for v1 & v2. Default for most urls is still v1, but if url is /api/action then default to v3.

Next steps:

• Add search API (package, resource,
• Add Util API
• Clarify JSONP still applies
• Add doc strings, clarifying parameters
