[ckan-dev] implimenting stream filters

Wed Oct 2 21:08:36 UTC 2013

I am attempting to make an extension that customizes the output of some additional fields associated with datasets in our ckan setup.  For example, we have fields called "dsOriginator" which I would like to have displayed as just "Originator".  I know the extension is at least partially functional since it is pulling our custom templates, but it does not seem to do the transform as expectedLive example at: http://devel.gisdata.mn.gov/dataset/base-2008-naip-airphotos-cir-wms

I would be grateful for any pointers.

from pylons import config
from pylons import request
from genshi.input import HTML
from genshi.filters import Transformer
from ckan.plugins import IGenshiStreamFilter

import ckan.plugins as plugins

class geodatamn(plugins.SingletonPlugin):
   plugins.implements(plugins.IConfigurer, inherit=True)
   plugins.implements(IGenshiStreamFilter, inherit=True)

   def update_config(self, config):
        plugins.toolkit.add_template_directory(config, 'templates')

   def filter(self, stream):
        """Update metadata field names to be human readable
        """
        stream = stream | Transformer('body').substitute('dsOriginator', 'Originator')

        return stream
