Historical Parent Tickets

Step Zero

  • COMPLETELY REDESIGN resource edit process

Dataset Edit-Resources

  • Force format field to be lowercase
    • Modify backend to serve it up in that format
  • Subticket #978: Add extra fields to resources in Web UI
  • Fix display of large datasets (http://test.ckan.net/dataset/europeana-lod)
  • When submitting forms with errors, open the correct resource pane.
  • No hint is given that the time format for a resource is in ISO, eg 2005-01-01T10:10:10

Dataset Settings

  • Subticket #1648: Clarify edit terminology
  • Merge Groups and Tags into main Settings section (no point having them on their own and most people will miss this).
  • Fix (i.e. allow / show) name editing on dataset edit.
    • Fix the slugify so it does not overwrite if i change title after fixing name.
    • Make slugify encourage people to use shorter names. Either by cutting off (not so good) or showing a warning and saying something like 'hey you may want to cut this down. Hit edit to customize the dataset name now'
  • Autocomplete the author/maintainer box (requires API extension?)

Dataset View

  • Fix animation glitch in expanding description
  • Can we make the list of files look more like a table? Lose space between files? Lose rounded corners?
  • Verify that there are no more (none) placeholder <td> objects (i believe they've been refactored out)

Dataset Create

  • "Upload or link data files, APIs and other materials related to your dataset."
  • Include the description markdown editor again (keep it small)
  • Licence should maybe be restored
    • "(Don't worry if you don't know what your licence is)"
  • Show the log message field
    • Beautify
  • Pre-populate the log message field?
  • ? Show Home Page field when creating dataset (+ show description (?) (-- but state that it should just be a few lines)
  • ? Do some Guerilla UX to see whether we need to Redirect to Resources directly after dataset creation?

Group Improvements

  • Minor fixes to dataset add on Group edit form - 0.5d - #1507

User pages

  • Improvements to user page UX - 1d - #1396
  • Broken links for non-Gravatar use icons - 0.25d - #1719

Etc

  • Take before and after screenshots
  • Write tests. You may not close this ticket without writing some tests for /editresources!
