Description

As a user I want to preview a dataset ('resource') before downloading it.

Implementation

This will be implemented as an Extension

NB: This ticket requires a way to get data out of a remote url (the dataset). We do not want to put this data load/streaming into ckan core due to a) complexity b) load problems (do not want to take ckan out by accidentally pulling in a 1GB file)

  1. Need a 'data proxy' - see ticket:698 and ticket:888
  2. Preview using javascript in WUI - do this in an extension ​http://bitbucket.org/okfn/ckanext-dataapi

Basic implementation done and deployed. However plenty to improve, e.g.

  • Support more formats (use external systems for preview?)
    • json (!)
    • html (trivial!)
    • sparql
    • ...
  • Do not display preview if no preview

  • Status changed from new to closed
  • Resolution set to fixed

Closing this now and improvements can go in a new ticket.
