[ckan-dev] Different templates/css for different schemas?

Wed Oct 3 15:07:14 UTC 2018

CKAN passes a dataset_type variable to each template, you could override
the template you want and use a big if-else chain or something like {%
snippet '/my-theme/dataset-snippets/' + dataset_type + '.html' %} to
replace the page content you want.
