[ECODP-dev] curl package_show

Wed Dec 18 11:14:48 UTC 2013

Hello

I am not sure of the correct behaviour here, these issues, I think are
due to customized schema for ecodp.   We have changed this behaviour
in recent versions of CKAN

This should be the fields it effects.

            'alternative_title'
            'release_date'
            'modified_date'
            'accrual_periodicity'
            'temporal_coverage_from'
            'temporal_coverage_to'
            'metadata_language'
            'version_description'
            'contact_name'
            'contact_email'
            'contact_address'
            'contact_telephone'
            'contact_webpage'

These fields are actually contain json data on package_show.   So when
you post it back you may need to un json them to convert them to
strings.  For your case you can probably just not supply them back as
you need only to modify the resource fields.
