ckanext-dsactions

Adds an ‘Actions’ tab when you view a dataset (as a user with editing permission for the dataset). The Actions tab contains the clone feature and can easily be extended to include other things to ‘action’ against a dataset.

Install

cd /usr/lib/ckan/default/src/
git clone https://github.com/XVTSolutions/ckanext-dsactions
python ckanext-dsactions/setup.py develop

Add dsactions to your .ini file.

When paster serve (or apache) runs this.

Export

Can export the entire db with the following command:

paster --plugin=ckanext-dsactions export -c /etc/ckan/default/development.ini

Features

  • Clone datasets functionality
  • Export database capability
  • Extensible actions framework
  • Permission-based access (only visible to users with dataset editing rights)

Note: This extension was developed for older CKAN versions (2.x era) and may require updates for modern CKAN versions.
