Paster commands that are available when using the ecportal extension.

Search Cloud

The new search cloud functionality on the homepage requires that some new tables and indexes are added. This must be done before the server is started with the following command::

paster –plugin=ckanext-ecportal ecportal searchcloud-install-tables -c config.ini

It is safe to run the command more than once.

The workflow for creating a search cloud on the homepage goes like this:

. As users search, their searches are saved to the search_query table via a before_search() method on an IPackageController plugin

. A cron job run the searchcloud-generate-unapproved-search-list paster command to populate the search_popular_latest table with summarised counts of the most popular searches from the last 30 days. This cron job runs each day.

. A sysadmin visits /data/searchcloud and downloads a JSON representation of the data from the search_popular_latest table.

. The sysadmin edits that JSON to moderate the terms they want to appear on the search cloud.

. Making sure the file is still a strict, valid JSON file, they upload it to the site at /data/searchcloud/upload. They are shown a preview and if they are happy with it they save the changes.

. Saving causes the data in the search_popular_approved table to be replaced with the data that was parsed from the uploaded JSON file.

. When a user visits the homepage, the data from the search_popular_approved table is queried to generate a search cloud for them.
