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,

Hi,

I would like to redirect our homepage to /dataset, like http://data.gov 
redirects to /dataset 

I tried a few tricks on theme level but i cant figure out/google the 3 lines of 
code that can do the trick.

(i checked their extentions here: https://github.com/ckan/ckan/tree/release-
datagov/ckanext but none of them says: ckanext-redirecthehomepage, i also 
searched the full repo on redirect, so i figured, somewhere I have to do either 

(in pylons)
redirect_to(controller='packages', action='dataset', _code=301) }}

in pure python:
map.redirect('/packages', '/dataset') 

I think that is where my python/ckan knowledge ends. (for now) 

Anyone can give me a quick pointer?
