This extension provides functionality similar to CKAN core groups. This extension can be used to generate collections of datasets when groups are used to implement some other functionality e.g. categories.
The extension creates a new route to '/collection' through where collections can be searched and managed. The extension also creates a subnav into package read where the active package can be added into existing collections
This extension is developed with CKAN version 2.6, but older 2.x versions should also work
To install ckanext-collection:
Activate your CKAN virtual environment, for example:
. /usr/lib/ckan/default/bin/activate
Install the ckanext-collection Python package into your virtual environment:
pip install ckanext-collection
Add
collectionto theckan.pluginssetting in your CKAN config file (by default the config file is located at/etc/ckan/default/production.ini).Restart CKAN. For example if you've deployed CKAN with Apache on Ubuntu:
sudo service apache2 reload
To install ckanext-collection for development, activate your CKAN virtualenv and do:
git clone https://github.com/6aika/ckanext-collection.git cd ckanext-collection python setup.py develop pip install -r dev-requirements.txt
TODO: No tests implemented yet
To extract all translatable strings run this command in the plugin root directory:
python setup.py extract_messages
After this the updated ckanext-collection.pot with the source language can be pushed to Transifex with the transifex client. (Note that you need to set your transifex credentials into ~/.transifexrc before running the command):
tx push --source
Translate new strings in Transifex and pull them by running:
# --force can be added if old translations can be overwritten by the ones fetched from transifex (this is usually the case) tx pull
Recompile translations (-f is needed to since Transifex will set the exported files as fuzzy):
python setup.py compile_catalog -f
