[ckan-dev] Modifying the web interface

[Hendrik Bunke]

Hi Asil,

take a look at the CKAN extending guide:
http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/extensions/index.html, especially "Customizing
dataset and resource metadata fields using IDatasetForm"
(http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/extensions/adding-custom-fields.html)

You might also find the extension ckanext-scheming helpful: 
https://github.com/ckan/ckanext-scheming

good luck
hendrik
