[ckan-dev] implimenting stream filters

[Koebrick, Andrew (MNIT)]

Stefan,

Thanks for the tips, I will play around.  I had thought that the Genshi was deprecated, but then saw it documented here:
http://docs.ckan.org/en/ckan-docs-theme/writing-extensions.html#example-extension which is marked as "CKAN Documentation 2.2a documentation".

As I continue to get into the guts of the code, is there an accurate up-to-date location I can look to for documentation?

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

afaik IGenshiStreamFilter is deprecated and you shouldn't use it anymore.

But there are several ways to achieve what you want. By default CKAN shows the key of each extra-fields as-is (you can find the code here: https://github.com/okfn/ckan/blob/master/ckan/templates/package/snippets/additional_info.html#L61).

As you can see the displayed text is translated, so this would be one way to change the name that is displayed (e.g. you could specify "dsOriginator" should be translated to "Originator").

Another way would be to override the "additional_info.html" template, so that for each displayed key the "ds" prefix is getting removed, something like
<span scope="row" class="dataset-label" property="rdfs:label">{{ _(key)|replace('ds', '') }}</span>

Note that this might fail if you have keys that contain "ds", a regex would be a better approach.

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.
