[ckan-dev] Organization hierarchy

Tue Aug 9 07:30:26 UTC 2016

Hi Lucia,

we used ckanext-hierarchy for opendata.swiss as well. All you have to do is
to override the organization_tree.html template and add your customization.
For the Swiss portal, we had to make sure, that the organizations are
translated correctly (you can find the code here:
https://github.com/ogdch/ckanext-switzerland/blob/master/ckanext/switzerland/templates/organization/snippets/organization_tree.html
).

As for your problem of datasets belonging to multiple organizations: this
is a rather hard problem. To enable this is CKAN core would require to
rewrite a lot of code, as the authorization is connected to organization
(i.e. as a member of an organization, you can edit its datasets). If this
is more a display issue, I'd suggest to tweak the Solr index. The package
controller interface has a method "before_index" that you can use to do
this (see
http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/extensions/plugin-interfaces.html#ckan.plugins.interfaces.IPackageController.before_index).
I would probably create a new field where you can save all organizations.
In the end this shouldn't be hard, as it already works for groups and under
the hood organizations are implemented as groups.

I'd be very interested in this kind of improvement, as this is a
requirement we might encounter as well.

Best Regards Stefan
