[ckan-discuss] CKAN Customization...

Tue Oct 8 17:35:27 BST 2013

Hi Stéphane,

Thank you for the prompt reply.

I actually used this extension to hide groups:  https://github.com/okfn/ckanext-hidegroups  which worked quite well.  However you do post a good thought.  Perhaps groups are more applicable than organizations in my case.  Nonetheless, what is the best approach to changing the terminology?  Do I need to global search and replace, or, is there database data that needs changing as well?

As for the addition handler, I would simply like to add one more option to the Explore menu - right now there is preview and download.  I would like to add Download by Area of interest.

Thanks again.

Mark

Hi Mark,

1. Maybe the group feature answers best to your need? Many cities just don't use the organization feature (they put everything in one organization and just hide the "organization" feature). The "group" concept is probably the closest thing to categories.

2. I am not sure to understand this one. What do you mean by additional handler?

What is the best approach to making these customizations?

Thanks in advance,
