Actually in ~/package/snippets/resource_form.html
in my extension templates folder created: resource_form.html
Added a field there and it wasn't changed.  would the tag {% block resource_form %} {%endblock%}
That didn't work.

How would I override the resource?  I was trying to follow example_idatasetform but I can't seem to get it from there.

Hi Kristi,

You'd have to override the resource form to add your new field.

Thanks David, that does imply that I cannot add a form field?
So the dataset form in step 2 adds a resource and there is where I am trying to add an additional field.

Yes, you can add ‘extras’ to resources:

Note that the API syntax is different for resources than for packages/datasets.

Ok, can you add a field to a resource?

Hi Kristi,


 



I am not sure of all the intrinsicalities of CKAN, but it does not change change de tables. If I remember well, there is a table of "extras" where CKAN stores the field name and values of
 the additional fields. A new field can also be defined as a tag (in which case it goes with a defined vocabulary, it's a bit more complex).



 



In the example, you see this happen here:



 




   def _modify_package_schema(self, schema):



 

        # Add our custom country_code metadata field to the schema.




 
        schema.update({


                'country_code': [tk.get_validator('ignore_missing'),



 

                    tk.get_converter('convert_to_tags')('country_codes')]



 

                })


        # Add our custom_test metadata field to the schema, this one will use



 

        # convert_to_extras instead of convert_to_tags.




 
        schema.update({


                'custom_text': [tk.get_validator('ignore_missing'),



 

                    tk.get_converter('convert_to_extras')]



 

                })


        return schema

 


 



Basically, it adds extras (or tags) from the DB to the data schema that is made available.

Thanks Steph.


 



Is there a new field added to one of the ckan database tables or is a new table created?

Hi Kristi,


 



Did you had a look to the idatasetform example :  https://github.com/ckan/ckan/tree/master/ckanext/example_idatasetform





 



You have there a perfect example to add fields.



 



Steph

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
