[ckan-dev] Set up customized schema

Fri May 6 17:44:21 UTC 2016

Hi, Timothy:

Thank you very much for your help!

If I use the Extension Scheming, I don’t need to remove the data in my
testing env.?

Best,

Jenny

Hi Jenny,

Welcome to CKAN. There are two methods. The IDatasetForm is a way to, via
python code, within an Extension, extend/alter the schema. You can also use
the Extension Scheming – this allows you to describe your schema in JSON.
It is considerably easier and less work. If you do use scheming, ensure the
json file is called dataset.json – that will make sure it is used as the
default ‘new dataset’ schema.

Good luck

Regards Timothy

Hi, All:

I'm new to CKAN and I have a question about updating the default schema in
our testing site. I found in the document "Customizing dataset and resource
metadata fields using IDatasetForm".

Is that the right documentation I should use to set up a customized schema?
Has anyone done that? Any instruction? I haven't read though the document
yet.

In addition, should I remove all the data in our testing env before I set
up the customized schema?

Thanks.

Jenny
