[ckan-dev] How to add a new page based on page.html (similar to /groups or /dataset)

Wed Oct 16 03:36:06 UTC 2013

Hi Jesús,

You need to create a controller inside your plugin and have new routes
point to functions in that controller.  The templates they point to should
inherit from page.html, so you'd get the right styling. I've added a few
pages in the ckanext-edo[1] extension. You should be able to take a look at
it and get an idea of how to add a new page.

Let us know if you're still not sure.
