[ckan-dev] GeoJson preview working?

[Nigel Babu]

Hi Andrew,

Sorry about that. The confusion is that CKAN can't really know if a file is
JSON or GeoJSON unless you specify it. If you specify the format as JSON, the
text_preview plugin will show the JSON content of the file.

To get it to work correctly with GeoJSON resources, you need to mention the
format as geojson or gson. I've updated the format for the test dataset on demo
and you can see the preview correctly.

When I click preview on http://demo.ckan.org/dataset/testdatageojson (uploaded by somebody else) I get an internal server error displaying just in the iframe.  The page itself is fine, but the proxied content is clearly crashing.

As a test I also uploaded the data to the demo.ckan.org<http://demo.ckan.org> site and it is behaving the same way:
