Apps and Ideas Extension

DEPRECATED

The ckanext-apps extension is deprecated, it has been replaced by the Related Items <http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/apps-ideas.html>_ 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. You should run the command from the ckanext-apps directory. For example::

    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. Again, run the command from the ckanext-apps directory. For example::

    ckanext-apps-migrate -c deployment.ini load related.json

    You should now see your applications and ideas as Related Items in CKAN. For example, browse to /apps to see the Related Dashboard. However, the images for your related applications will not appear yet.

  4. Use the ckanext-apps-scraper.py included with ckanext-apps to scrape the images for your related applications from your site running ckanext-apps. Follow the instructions in ckanext-apps-scraper.py.

  5. Add an extra public directory to your site (using the extra_public_paths setting in your ini file). Inside the extra public directory create a directory called migrated_application_images. Move the image files downloaded by the scraper into this directory.

    Restart the webserver. You should now see the images for your related applications on the related dashboard.

  6. Disable the ckanext-apps extension by deleting it from the ckan.plugins = line in your ini file and restarting the web server.
