[ckan-dev] How to add a folder with images to a CKAN plugin

[George Sattler]

Hi Jesús
This should work okay. Here’s a really basic example of an extension that makes a ‘css’ and ‘images’ folder available. Install and add ‘static_example’ to your list of plugins. https://www.dropbox.com/s/cmzi8w34oqobmt3/ckanext-static_example.tar.gz?dl=0

You should then be able to access these assets:

<your_site>/example-file.txt
<your_site>/css/main.css
<your_site/images/titanic.jpg

Hope that helps.
Cheers
George

Hello,

I would like to know how to include a folder and its subdirectories to a CKAN extension to be served as static content. This folders would include the images for the plugin. For example:

public
   |
   |- - Main_Images {some images}
   |            |
   |            |- Banners {some images}
   |
   |
   |- - Apps  {images}
           |
           |- App1 {images about app1}



So if my portal URL is http://portal.com<http://portal.com/> I would like to access the images in such fashion:

http://portal.com/Main_Images/image1.png
http://portal.com/Main_Images/Banners/banner1.png
http://portal.com/Apps/logo_apps1.png
http://portal.com/Apps/App1/imageapp1.png
... (and so on)

I have tried with a public folder by modifying plugin.py:

 p.toolkit.add_public_directory(config, 'public')

Unfortunately, this only includes that specific folder, but not the sub-folders (and it's too messy having all the images in the same path).

Thanks for the help,

Jesús Redondo
