[ckan-dev] RDF: Need to provide read.rdf in template extension when overriding read.html

Mon Feb 3 16:14:29 UTC 2014

Hi there,

I just found out, that if you install an extension that provides a new
template for "package/read.html", you *must* provide the standard
"package/read.rdf" along in the same directory, in order to keep the
standard RDF functionality (i.e. just append ".rdf" to the dataset URL, see
http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/linked-data-and-rdf.html). I'm not sure it
this is by design (i.e. feature) or a bug.

I get the following error if I don't provide that file:

Error - <class 'genshi.template.loader.TemplateNotFound'>: Template
"package/read.rdf" not found

I always assumed, that CKAN uses the standard template if you don't provide
your own. This seems not to be the case for the RDF template.

Maybe this saves someone else some debugging time :)

Best Regards Stefan

PS: I'm using CKAN 2.0.3, so maybe this has already been fixed in later
versions.
