[ckan-dev] Proper way to create a link

Mon Nov 14 16:47:40 UTC 2016

Hi Lucia,

Following up on what Matthew said you can use the URL builder on any
route that you register on your own plugins:

<a href="{{ h.url_for('package_export', package_id=pkg.name,
file_format='datacite', extension='xml')}}" class="btn">

Also note that you should avoid using all c.xxx variables as this will
be deprecated in the future.

Hope this helps,

Adrià
