[ckan-dev] Showcases show in package_list

Thu Jul 13 12:44:37 UTC 2017

Hi Ian,

I agree with your comments and indeed minor changes ( in ckan core or in
our extension).
>From my point of view (and probably for other non-power user), the
package_list action should return the same result as /dataset url. Maybe it
will be good to have the default parameter dataset_type="dataset" . You
could add an "all" parameter to get everything that is stored in table
"package".
This will be consistent with "group" and "organization" entities/api calls.

Cheers,
