[ckan-dev] Home/landing page

Wed Mar 27 09:53:10 UTC 2019

Hi Judith,

To your original question, the home page is rendered using these templates:

https://github.com/ckan/ckan/blob/master/ckan/templates/home/index.html
https://github.com/ckan/ckan/blob/master/ckan/templates/home/layout1.html

Now, to run in development mode you first need to install the development
requirements:

https://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/maintaining/installing/install-from-source.html#importerror-no-module-named-flask-debugtoolbar

You might need to change the path to the requirements file, and make sure
to activate the virtualenv like Sam mentioned.

The Flask Debug Toolbar was introduced in recent versions so the
documentation that you mention (2.3.x) is clearly outdated. You can check
the version CKAN is running looking at the `ckan/__init__.py` file or
visiting http://ckansite/api/action/status_show

Hope this helps,

Adrià
