[ckan-dev] CKAN and CSVKIT (was: Re: path of uploaded resource in filestorage?)

Wed Oct 8 20:52:12 UTC 2014

Hallo,
I'm going on with the integration of upload of a csv file with csvkit.

So, about where the file uploaded is stored, I have discovered (sorry if
I'm boring you) that the id of the resource establishes the path of the
file.
So a resource with id 5f090a10-45d6-4ebb-a2ed-db016e2b3f15 has this path
<ckan.storage_path>/5f0/90a/10-45d6-4ebb-a2ed-db016e2b3f15

Isn't it?

The code, obviously not yet completed and really "dirty", is on github:
https://github.com/lynxlab/ckanext-oaks

good night
