[ckan-dev] redirect homepage (like on data.gov)

Mon Mar 3 20:19:11 UTC 2014

Hi Reinier,

I did this for the Mexican instance. Check in
https://github.com/okfn/ckanext-mx/commit/8c89f696412da618ca1ddea6a04eaad25d5a1e7d
.

Basically, you need to implement plugins.IRoutes in your theme (or any
other plugin), and do:

def before_map(self, m):
>     m.redirect('/', '/dataset')
>     return m

Cheers,
