As a

CKAN client using JQuery

I want to

call the CKAN API and instead of receiving back JSON I get JSONP. i.e. "%s(%s)" % (callback, json_content)

Suggested implementation

All API calls allow the JSONP 'callback' parameter to be specified in the request and this wraps the JSON response. See suggested patch to rest.py by Donovan Hide:

​http://knowledgeforge.net/ckan/trac/attachment/ticket/336/resource.patch

Test

import re import unittest

def test_jsonp_callback():

response = self.app.get('/api/search/resource/?url=​http://www.scraperwiki.com&callback=jsoncallback') match = re.match('jsoncallback\(.*\);',response) self.assertTrue(match)

response = self.app.get('/api/search/resource/?url=​http://www.scraperwiki.com') match = re.match('jsoncallback\(.*\);',response) self.assertFalse(match)

I think the point needs to be made that JSONP only works for GET requests and not POST/PUT/DELETE, so there needs to be a check for that in the _finish_ok method.

(thanks to Donovan Hide for test)

$ curl "http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/rest/package/annakarenina?callback=<script>jsoncallback"

gives:

<script>jsoncallback({"id": "c10ebd31-5b45-4f6f-885d-dca9b18caec4", "name": "annakarenina", "title": "A Novel By Tolstoy",

which could run script code in the client who made the call.

One idea for filtering: ​http://tav.espians.com/sanitising-jsonp-callback-identifiers-for-security.html Maybe just better to have a restricted whitelist of characters to be even more sure.

Same as: ​https://trac.dataco.coi.gov.uk/projects/datagov/ticket/906

Start a Java library for interacting with the CKAN Action API.

Currently requires support for Groups, Tags, Resources, and Search.

An example app would be very useful.

Using curl you always get English, even if ckan.locale_default=de. Find out why. (1.5b)

Maybe we should disable locale detection for this release if lots of people's browsers don't have it set correctly (e.g. chinese with us internet explorer)

If you are the only admin of an organization you can edit the organization's members and demote yourself, then the org has no admins and no one (except sysadmins maybe) can edit it.

Last admin should not be able to remove or demote herself.

Also applies to groups.

Right now, for the "View available WMS layers" link to be displayed, the package needs to have an "INSPIRE=True" extra, a "resource-type=service" extra and a resource of type "WMS".

This is due to DGU (the project this was developed for) related reasons, but for a generic support, the resource type should probably be enough.

(The repository for this is ckanext-spatial, but it's not on the list)

Presence of license_id field in JSON input show below breaks REST API (with weird error about int not being subscriptable as if license_id field is being subscripted).

Using normal license field does not cause breakage but has no effect.

(Also think we should remove license_id from the API since there is no guarantee this cross system compatible since locally generated on install).

​https://github.com/okfn/ckan/blob/master/LICENSE.txt mentions requires/lucid_conflict.txt which is no longer the case for 1.8 and needs updating

not sure where requirements-testing/docs fit in

@sean I've assigned this to you as you changed the requirements and my plate is full feel free to pass on to someone else

License titles at least for some of them need translating. This wants to be done in a more efficient and simple manner than currently exists.

the original problem was:

The license dropdown on the dataset form shows titles in Swedish by default. Changing the language seems to default to English, but after refreshing the page a couple of times it shows a wrong language again.

Thanks to pudo for reporting.

The link to the API docs in the footer always points to the latests docs, which may not be correct for the particular CKAN version.

Also, remove the 'API' link (to /api/1) as pointless and misleading

When viewing a user and a package, the about/notes fields contain Markdown, which may have links. These should have rel="nofollow" to discourage link spam.

We should link to representations on semantic.ckan.net

• Each package page could link to its RDF representation
  • "Alternative formats" near star rating. Has logo for RDF (link to RDF) and JSON (link via CKAN REST i/f).
  • Some instances of ckan won't need this, so have option in ini file for this. rdf_store_url=xyz
  • Include machine-readable link to the RDF:

    <meta http-equiv=... />
    

  • 303 redirect to RDF when content negotiation requires RDF. Test:

    curl -I -H "Accept: application/rdf+xml" http://localhost:5000/package/warandpeace
    

Cost: 3h

Future

• Search page to link to SPARQL interface: ​http://semantic.ckan.net/sparql
• License/dump page could link to full RDF dump.

User can insert bad anchor tags into the User-About and Package-Notes fields and when you view them (web interface) it causes a 500 error.

Need to improve filtering for anchors in markdown.

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.

Additional feature related to ticket:66.

The admin extension allows deleted datasets to be viewed, but there is no equivalent in the API. The package_list API call filters to just 'state=active' datasets.

'state' could be a parameter on the package_list call

• Easy to call and implement
• But getting permissions right for the different state values may not be easy - maybe a separate logic function is better?

Activity streams should be able to load more than 15 items within them. Suggest the default amount of loading is around 30 and then click to load more.

Loader currently checks for same name, but also should check for name_, name etc.

(instead of sqlalchemy interface, to facilitate general usage of the loader)

• use ckanclient

From #2204

not sure how much we have thought through using this for storing queries / views / visualizations coming from our data viewer. In particular, wonder if this necessitates some kind of support for arbitrary json data ...

### Comments

In the simplest form, right now all I need to store is store the url to the resource plus hashbang config for recline. That would be super easy ...

If the current page URL has unicode in it (e.g. u'/tag/biocombust\xedveis') then I'm not sure how why it isn't more encoded, but we are seeing links such as http://beta.dados.gov.br/dados/locale?locale=hu&return_to=/dados/tag/biocombust%C3%ADveis&hash=7fd941b5ba1a28bc84406c4191bf07b45a42a251 which cause an exception when the foreign character is passed to ckan.lib.hash.get_message_hash().

Set the license of a dataset to blank (the first option) or to 'License Not Specified' or 'Other (Non-Commercial)' and a lock icon appears next to the license on the dataset read page. Shouldn't this be a question mark or something?

ckan: 1e403927f2bb (metastable) genshi: 0.6 lang: slovenian

Add a function to logic.action.get that returns a user's public activity stream as a list of dicts.

Try to login to CKAN using Opera 12, get "Login failed. Bad username or password. (Or if using OpenID, it hasn't been associated with a user account.)"

Users should be able to log in using either their username, or their email address, both of which are unique.

Will require a change to UsernamePasswordAuthenticator? in ckan.lib.authenticator.py and possible a useful User.by_email in the user model if it doesn't already exist.

Essentially, the functionality should be as follows:

• Add logout link that has .js-hide attached to it within the header that isn't hidden within a dropdown

See ​http://plus.google.com/ (when logged in) with and without JS to see an example of the actual sign-out working without JS

...but only if it can be done reasonably quickly.

To reproduce:

1. Enter details for new dataset without being logged in

2. Hit login page for just before step 2

3. Once logged in you end up back at the empty add dataset form (instead of expected 2nd step of dataset edit)

Revisions aren't assigned to packages. Where are they coming from? This seems to have been occurring since the upgrade to 1.4.3b a couple of weeks ago?

To maintain backwards compatibility, the package controller (new/edit) should check to see if the controller has a package_form variable defined, and if so render the form pointed to by this variable before calling the new self._package_form() function.

This behaviour is now deprecated however.

Why?

• Will make it easier to give resources their own form, independent of packages.
• Makes uploading, harvesting and previewing data cleaner as its separate from the packages.
• Gives the option of sharing a resource between packages.
• Leads the way to supporting storing richer semantic information against them.

Whitelist any GETable api actions, and optionally construct the query from url params rather than body.

According to pudo, a ckan with activated solr extension throws a 5xx when solr is unreachable. Instead, it should behave more like a ckan without ckanext-solr when this happens.

Currently all data is only available via the web interface which makes it difficult to obtain in bulk. Data should be provided in other more convenient, machine usable forms:

• DB Dump
• JSON for each package page (maybe Atom as well)

Make group object revisioned/versioned.

• Involves upgrade script both for group object and group_revision object
• No changes required to WUI for present

From Toby: make lib/base.py be more like it was originally intended eg defines stuff that is shared eg _ but maybe try to include stuff like render/get_action if the circular import stuff can be solved - which should be doable if hard and likely needs an extra file or two for the externals _ etc

The background tasks will use the logic API to access the task_status table so new logic layer functions are needed.

I have a requirement to allow an external source to define the groups of which a user is a member.

I propose to create an IAuthzUserGroups plugin interface that allows an extension to arbitrarily extend the list of AuthzGroups? that a user is in.

Allow using different indexes, including ckan, file, dcat, ...

Give site user system administrative rights.

Super ticket: #1508

Etherpad: ​http://ckan.okfnpad.org/wordpresser

The wordpresser extension does not work with ckan 1.5.1. The wordpress page is not loaded.

Looks like this changeset may be involved ​https://github.com/okfn/ckanext-wordpresser/commit/0efa0649896a7339865f178a302be639ddc561e1

I think that even before that changeset, the page was shown without any margins.

In any case, the extension seems to be too sensible to changes in the ckan layout so perhaps it should take into account the CKAN version and have a fixed set of xpaths and templates that work for each version
