[ckan-dev] Alter resource in grid view

Tue Aug 20 13:56:49 UTC 2013

Hi Dominik -

Thanks for the reply! Yep, the data is in the datastore - but I don't want to change the actual source data, just alter the view of it in the grid.

The basic use case is:  the grid view shows an overview of the resource, and the user can then click through to see the full record. Ive added a controller etc., to enable viewing the full record - but I'm trying to find out how to change the data in the grid display to only show some of the fields.

Cheers,
Ben
