[ckan-dev] Proper way to create a link - SOLVED

Tue Nov 15 09:13:47 UTC 2016

Thanks Matt and Adrià

I had tried to build the url with "url_for" but I was not sure how to pass the parameteres, I see it eas very simple.
I will avoid using c.pkg_dict.xxx and replace it with pkg.xxx as you advice.

Best,
Lucia

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
