Apps and Ideas Extension

DEPRECATED

The ckanext-apps extension is deprecated, it has been replaced by the Related Items feature in CKAN core.

Tools have been added to this repository to migrate a ckanext-apps deployment to CKAN Related Items:

  1. Update your version of ckanext-apps to the latest commit on the master branch and run python setup.py develop in the ckanext-apps dir.

  2. Use the ckanext-apps-migrate dump command to dump your ckanext-apps database tables to a JSON file:

    ckanext-apps-migrate -c deployment.ini dump > related.json
    
  3. Use the ckanext-apps-migrate load command to load the dumped ckanext-apps data into your CKAN database as Related Items:

    ckanext-apps-migrate -c deployment.ini load related.json
    
  4. Use the ckanext-apps-scraper.py to scrape images for your related applications.

  5. Add an extra public directory to your site (using the extra_public_paths setting). Create a directory called migrated_application_images and move the scraped images into it.

  6. Disable the ckanext-apps extension by removing it from the ckan.plugins line in your ini file.
