[ckan-dev] ckan form - help

I've registered...
I'm new to using ckan.  The new dataset form is pretty comprehensive, but I need 3 additional fields to be added.  I have read that it is not recommended to change the schema of the db tables, so i'm trying to create an extension.
For the fields that I needed added I can't seem to change the html file.  Am I expected to override the function in my python script and construct an entire new html form?  If I create a new html form am I responsible for writing the code to update the original ckan schema or just the fields that i'm adding.

Hello,
I'm new to using ckan.  The new dataset form is pretty comprehensive, but I need 3 additional fields to be added.  I have read that it is not recommended to change the schema of the db tables, so i'm trying to create an extension.
For the fields that I needed added I can't seem to change the html file.  Am I expected to override the function in my python script and construct an entire new html form?  If I create a new html form am I responsible for writing the code to update the original ckan schema or just the fields that i'm adding.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kristi
