Related question, how do you specify the section to be featured on the home page. I've searched the documentation for featured section and it doesn't bring up anything relevant.
Thanks

Hi! I am customizing my ckan. Where it appears "This is a featured section", I would like to show a image. I wrote in the development.ini:
ckan.template_footer_end = <style type="text/css">
.media-image a { background-image : url("base/images/photo.jpg");}
</style>
but it doesn't appear any image. How can I fix it?
cheers.

Hi Folks!
Looking forward to OKCon. Sami and I are both ready and have even figured out how to multiplex the different tracks next week :)
As luck would have it, we're also launching the a CKAN portal next week for one of our clients.
We've assembled a localized tutorial using their cleaned, normalized, linked data.
However, it seems that we can't do datastore_search_sql call unless the API key is that of a sysadmin. When we use an API key for a "normal" CKAN user, I get an authorization error.
And yes, we did check that the datasets are public.
Any hints?
Thanks,
Joel

Hi.
We don't use the ckan.template_footer_end, we use the "Custom CSS"
feature in /ckan-admin/config panel and to restyle that area we run something like:
/* Remove the feature image */
div.hero-primary section.featured.media-overlay {
display: none;
}
/* Style up fron page */
div.hero-primary header {
background-image: url(http://url-to-image/image.jpg);
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center;
height: 59px;
padding-top: 42px;
padding-bottom: 42px;
border-radius: 3px;
}
The height and padding is so that it aligns nice with the "Search Your Data" box to the right.
The whole styling is we use is documented at:
https://github.com/openumea/openumea-deployment/blob/master/CKAN-2.1-THEMING.txt
and you can have a look at the result at http://openumea.se/

Hi All,
TL;DR: changes are afoot for the DataHub. Following the recent (technical) upgrade its time for a community upgrade. New dedicated DataHub mailing lists and call for contributors to new DataHub team.
We?re writing to give an important update on the DataHub - the community data hub powered by CKAN we?ve been running since 2006!
Over the last year or so DataHub has not kept up with the speed of change that has been happening within CKAN itself. As a result it hasn?t received as much attention as it should, and we feel it is high time to bring DataHub up to date and make it the awesome community owned and run data hub it can and should be!
DataHub is and will remain community run, and community owned, and will have a solid technical home within the Open Knowledge Foundation Labs. However, if the DataHub is to meet the needs and expectations of those using it we need to create a team of administrators, curators, developers and more - so we need your help!
There are lots of ways to get involved. We will need help with advocacy, triaging ideas and issues [2], and writing code [3]. To help coordinate this we have created two new mailing lists dedicated to the DataHub, datahub-discuss [4] for those who want to get involved in helping take the datahub forward and datahub-announce [5] for announcements.[^1]
Ross Jones and Rufus Pollock
DataHub Benevolent Dictators (Interim!)

[3] https://github.com/okfn/ckanext-datahub
[4] http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/datahub-discuss
[5] http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/datahub-announce
[^1] With the growth of the DataHub and CKAN it is now time for the DataHub to have its own dedicated space and community - there are now hundreds of CKAN instances whereas once upon time there was only one: ckan.net (We renamed ckan.net to datahub.io in 2011 to avoid confusion between CKAN (the software) and the website!)

Thank you Ian, Hendrik,
I've added some quick notes to our roadmap here:
https://trello.com/c/VinbHQia/115-better-metadata-schema-support - please feel free to comment or suggest edits. I think we also want to add support to get popular schema's "off the shelf" so to speak. Will add this to the agenda for the next product dev meeting. Do you have time to work on this now/soon? - I think we'd be happy to help comment / contribute to a spec.
Best,
Irina
