[ckan-dev] New dev group - SLU in Sweden - getting to grips with developing CKAN and Scheming?

Thu Feb 19 15:41:24 UTC 2015

Hi Tim,

The scheming, repeating and fluent extensions are all still really
new. They aren't official in any sense, I'm working on them for the
next iteration of the Canadian open data portal.

The basics should be explained in the README, but it assumes some ckan
knowledge. Proper documentation wtih a tutorial etc. does not yet
exist.

To troubleshoot your problem I'd need to see your ini file and the
source of the extension you're working on. Want to create an issue on
https://github.com/open-data/ckanext-scheming/ to keep it off the
general ckan list?
