ckanext-metameta

Allows Organisation defaults to be set by users who are Organisation administrators

Installation

Download

cd /usr/lib/ckan/default/src/ git clone https://github.com/XVTSolutions/ckanext-metameta.git

Make sure your python virtualenv is activated

. /usr/lib/ckan/default/bin/activate

Install ckanext-metameta into python

cd /usr/lib/ckan/default/src/ckanext-metameta python setup.py develop

Add to plugin in .ini file

sudo emacs /etc/ckan/default/development.ini <–or production.ini for apache

plugins = metameta

How it works

• When the plugin is first initiated, a table called metameta is created.
• This plugin adds a ‘metadata’ tab to the Organisation’s ‘edit’ page. The first time this page is accessed for the given organisation, records are created in the metameta table for each field in metameta/metadata_fields.py. The value column for each field is NULLed.
• When the user goes to the ‘metadata’ tab,they are shown a table of the current field/values.
• The user can click the ‘Edit Defaults’ button to be able to edit each field and then click ‘Update’ which will bring them back to the table of fields / values.
• No user except for users with Admin permission for the organisation will be able to see these pages. Any attempt to reach these pages by any other means - e.g. editing the URL - will simply result in the user being redirected to the main Organisation view page.
• Only the organisation admins will be able to see the ‘metadata’ tab.

• Database can be cleaned of all metameta tables using the following command:

  paster --plugin=ckanext-metameta clean -c /etc/ckan/default/development.ini
