[ckan-dev] Direct Link to an Organization

[Adrià Mercader]

Hi Jessica,

You can hardcode the link directly or use the url function:

h.url(controller='organization', action='read', id'='abcorganization')

Neither of these will check if the org exists before, if you need this
to happen you should probably create a custom helper function that
does it:

# your_helpers.py

def org_exists(org_name):

    try:
        p.toolkit.get_action('organization_show')({}, {'id': org_name})
        return True
    except p.toolkit.ObjectNotFound:
        return False


# header.html

{% if h.org_exists('abcorganization') %}
// Add link
{% endif %}



Hope this helps,

Adrià
