[ckan-dev] DataStore API and Download

Wed Sep 28 08:20:03 UTC 2016

Hi François,
It is possible if you write an extension. In extensions you can extend
templates and you could do something like this (important part in red):

(in the file templates/package/resource_read.html)

{% ckan_extends %}

{% block resource_actions_inner %}
  {% if h.check_access('package_update', {'id':pkg.id }) %}
    <li>{% link_for _('Manage'), controller='package',
action='resource_edit', id=pkg.name, resource_id=res.id, class_='btn',
icon='wrench' %}</li>
  {% endif %}
  {% if res.url and h.is_url(res.url) %}
    <li>
      <a class="btn btn-primary resource-url-analytics resource-type-{{
res.resource_type }}" href="{{ res.url }}">
        {% if res.resource_type in ('listing', 'service') %}
          <i class="icon-eye-open"></i> {{ _('View') }}
        {% elif  res.resource_type == 'api' %}
          <i class="icon-key"></i> {{ _('API Endpoint') }}
        {% elif not res.has_views or not res.can_be_previewed %}
          <i class="icon-external-link"></i> {{ _('Go to resource') }}
        {% else %}
          <i class="icon-download"></i> {{ _('Download') }}
        {% endif %}
      </a>
    </li>
  {% endif %}
  {% if res.datastore_active %}
    <li>
      <a class="btn btn-primary resource-url-analytics resource-type-{{
res.resource_type }}" href="/datastore/dump/{{ res.id }}"
target="_blank"><i class="icon-cloud-download"></i>{{ _('Export from DB')
}}</a>
    </li>
    <li>{% snippet 'package/snippets/data_api_button.html', resource=res,
datastore_root_url=c.datastore_api %}</li>
  {% endif %}
{% endblock %}

The if statement about res.datastore_active differs from the standard CKAN
template ( {% if 'datastore' in g.plugins %} ) and I think there is an
ongoing issue with datastore_active, so you might need to try it out with
the latest CKAN and see how it goes.

Best,
Matt
