[ckan-dev] Enforcing a custom schema.

Wed Dec 19 11:45:31 UTC 2012

Hi Peder,

I believe the form_to_db_schema, db_to_form_schema, etc. methods in DefaultDatasetForm are where you can validate extra fields. Sean pointed me to some useful example code a while ago:

https://github.com/okfn/ckan/tree/2750-add-docs-and-examples-for-idatasetform-and-igroupform/ckanext/example_idatasetform

I haven't gone as far as writing my own validators yet, so if you manage to come up with some working examples, would you mind posting them somewhere? I'll do the same, if I get around to it!

Cheers,
Knud
