[ckan-dev] List of all datasets from sub-organizations for the parent organization

Wed Aug 28 07:59:56 UTC 2019

Hi Mandana

Happy to hear that. Some info for the record:

I forked ckanext-hierarchy because there was heavy refactoring involved
and also I lost some features on the way and added a bit:

+ Search for organizations doesn't work (just not implemented). This is
  because I could not come up with a satisfactory way to display search
results for organizations while keeping the hierarchical display. If
there are not too many organizations this might not be an issue (my
case). Also we are dealing with two fundamentally different search
paradigms.

+ I kicked out pagination. But that should be easy to re-insert.

+ I re-implemented (much more robustly, I hope) the modification of the
search string necessary to include child-packages
(IPackageController:before_search). In the original ckanext-hierarchy
this is implemented in a more ad-hoc fashion and will break if the
input-search-string is not of a special (simple) form. To do that more
generally, I am using my "lucparser module (https://github.com/eawag-rd
m/lucparser), which is pulled in as requirement. Without having looked
into it, this might be also the reason that the original ckanext-
hierarchy doesn't work for for you. Maybe other extensions modify the
search-string, or CKAN core has changed it, so that it has a form that
the original implementation can't deal with.

PS: If you fixed a bug (related to a unicode issue?) I'd be happy about
a PR or an Issue.

Best,
Harald
