Provides CKAN with a table style display of datasets. Allows easy editing of multiple datasets simultaneously according to used form model.
Install
In an activated python environment run:
pip install -e git+https://github.com/Helsingin-kaupungin-tietokeskus/ckanext-multiedit.git#egg=ckanext-multiedit
[The plugin is compatible only with CKAN 2.x versions]
Tested with: CKAN 2.1.1
Enabling
Enable by adding to your ckan.plugins line in CKAN config:
ckan.plugins = … multiedit
Also add the following settings required by the plugin:
multiedit.package_type = your.package.type
multiedit.limit = X
where X is your prefered limit for datasets shown. Note that showing and editing hundreds of datasets simultaneously
can be taxing to your server, so choose a sensible limit.
your.package.type is package type your form extension returns with package_types() -function
(search extension development documentation http://ckan.readthedocs.org/en/latest/extensions/index.html for more details).
This is used for connecting your customized form to multiedit. Note: this feature has not been tested extensively,
thus only using the default “multiedit.package_type = package” is recommended.
Usage
Point your browser to: your.ckan.address/multiedit
Note that you need to be logged in to use multiedit, since it needs your apikey to make updates.
Search works just like regular CKAN search.
