[ckan-dev] Linking data sources

[O'Leary, Jim]

The document page for CKAN says: "CKAN can store the resource internally, or store it simply as a link ". However, when I put a resource up to CKAN using the resource_create, the link is always to where the data are stored on the server. If I try to put up the resource without specifying "upload = " I get an error.

I have made a custom parameter called "unc_path" and here I can put in the UNC path to the resource on our network. However, the path is not linked and is only visible when you click "Show more" at the bottom of our page.

Is there a way to get the link into the URL and have it showing on the front page of the resource?

Thanks
Jim
