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

[Jesús Redondo]

Hello George,

Thank you for taking the time to make that example. It helped me solve the
problem:

I had problems with the permissions of the folders inside "public". To make
it work I just change the permission of all the sub-folders to 775.

Thanks.

Jesús
