[ckan-dev] customize homepage ckan

Sun Dec 8 23:59:22 UTC 2013

Hi Hilde,
           I too am a bit of a novice when it comes to css etc.  I have found with the help of people on here some ways to customise my front screen using the 'custom css' box in the sysadmin| config section (code appended below).

You could copy and paste this code in, and change the paths to image files to suit yourself.  The image "LCR-ckan-homepage-background.jpg" is loaded into our CKAN install, but the others are just borrowed from our public website (so they will work for you as a test).  Depending on your images you might want to tweak the height, padding etc settings.  I found that IE and Firefox render things slightly differently, so experimented to get values that looked OK in both.

Unfortunately our install has crashed at the moment, so I can't point you to see what it looks like.

Regards
Aaron

.hero { background: lightsteelblue; }
.hero { background-image: url("/base/images/LCR-ckan-homepage-background.jpg");}

/* Remove the feature image */
div.hero-primary section.featured.media-overlay {
display: none;
}
/* Style up front page */
div.hero-primary header {
background-image: url(http://www.landcareresearch.co.nz/__data/assets/image/0015/15504/6-Measuring-Biodiversity.jpg);

background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
height: 185px; /* 185 = works in both IE and Firefox, 250=good, 264=height of main background image */
padding-top: 24px; /* originally was 42, but 24 works better in IE at height 185 */
padding-bottom: 24px;
border-radius: 3px;
font-size: 1.3em;
font-weight: bold;
color: white;
text-shadow: 2px 2px 2px black;

Dear all,

I would like to add some cutomization to our CKAN home page without too much commitment. I would like to something similar to http://data.codeforhouston.com/ http://data.kk.dk/

I am  not really confident in writing css and don't know where to start.
Is there an easy way to at least substitute the placeholder.it and background-tile.png ?

Thanks

Hilde

Hello,

Thanks David,

I will try that and get back to the list. I have to change my apache configuration since I was not using a wsgi module so far.
Although this url is internal it sees the Internet and I never had any issues previewing csv files before on a test environnement.
Maybe that should be stated in the doc ?
When setting up a new environnement one can get a bit confused in the different option available for interacting with resources and the content available here https://github.com/okfn/ckan/wiki/Viewing-Resource-Data
should maybe be added to the doc.

Best,
Pascal

Hello

The link
http://srvmv-automne:5000/storage/f/2013-12-04T16%3A51%3A33.412Z/liste-sites-viticoles-cdt33.csv

Is not publically accessable so the dataproxy can not see it.  This
probably is not the case for production.  It is recommended now to use the
datapusher and datastore to actually get the data locally in the datastore
so its possible to preview this way.

Documentation is here:

Hi,

I am currently in the process of upgrading my CKAN instance to version
2.1.
All ran smoothly following the excellent documentation but...the
resources's preview doesn't seem to work.

In my configuration file I have activated the following plungins
ckan.plugins = stats text_preview recline_preview datastore resource_proxy

The local filestore is defined in the same file
# Local file storage:
ofs.impl = pairtree
ofs.storage_dir = /home/opendata/filestore

However when upload a csv resource to a dataset and selecting the preview
button to preview it, I get the following message

This resource can not be previewed at the moment. Click here for more
information

The file is accessible at this internal url URL:
http://srvmv-automne:5000/storage/f/2013-12-04T16%3A51%3A33.412Z/liste-sites-viticoles-cdt33.csv
 and displays on the browser when I click on this link

The error message is
Could not load preview: DataProxy returned an error (Data transformation
failed. error: An error occured while connecting to the server: Unable to
fetch URL:
http://srvmv-automne:5000/storage/f/2013-12-04T16%3A51%3A33.412Z/liste-sites-viticoles-cdt33.csv
)

I am missing something in the configuration or installation process ?

Thanks in advance for any appreciated help

Best,
Pascal Romain
