[ckan-dev] Search Interface for metadata fields

Sat Apr 25 20:46:19 UTC 2015

Hi Nilesh

Thanks. I saw this. But this is only about sorting. I had other queries in mind, like start_date before a selected date, end_date after a selected data and that the variables (custom) field would contain a string that was entered through the interface. Is there any example for this? We would usually need a combination of several filters that could be chosen by the user. And we would need support of date formats as accepted by “ckan.logic.validators.isodate”.

Best regards                 Peter

Is someone aware of an example of how to build an extension that implements a search interface for metadata fields implemented with IDatesetForm?

As an example, we implemented additional metadata fields “start_date”, “end_date”, and “variables” and are interested to provide a graphical user interface that allows the user to find all data sets that contain data of a specific variable within a given time interval (and at a specific location specified with the extension “spatial”).

Best regards                     Peter
