[ckan-dev] Future of the publisher refactor

Hi all,

I tell a lie. With today's master this is now there. The
publisher_dataset_form isn't listed in setup.py though and the code for
that isn't merged into master yet so you can't use that plugin.

The above issues are still there.

I've also noticed that when using master with a fresh Solr 1.4.1 core
and the CKAN schema, if I create a new dataset (either from the groups
page or directly) and I have the publisher_form plugin enabled, it
doesn't get indexed. I've got:

ckan.plugins = stats publisher_form
#ckan.async_notifier = true
ckan.build_search_index_synchronously = true
ckan.auth.profile = publisher
solr_url = http://127.0.0.1:8983/solr
ckan.site_id = ckan.net

No errors appear anywhere.

When I disable the publisher_form extension, the indexing works again.

Looking at the latest form plugin here:
https://github.com/okfn/ckan/blob/feature-1669-publisher-profile/ckanext/publisher_form/forms.py

I can't see any search code changes.

Is this a known issue or should I ticket it?

Cheers,

James
