CKAN Extension providing Issues (Task/Todos/...)

CI Actions Status Coverage Status Python CKAN

CKAN Issues Extension

This extension allows users to to report issues with datasets in a CKAN instance.

Requirements

This extension works with CKAN 2.9+.

Installation

To install the plugin, enter your virtualenv and install from pip or source:

pip install ckanext-isssues

pip install -e git+http://github.com/keitaroinc/ckanext-issues

Create the necessary tables:

ckan -c path-to/ckan.ini issuesdb

This will also register a plugin entry point, so you now should be able to add the following to your CKAN .ini file::

ckan.plugins = issues

After you clear your cache and restart the web server, the Issues extension should be available.

Upgrade from older versions

When upgrading ckanext-issues from older code versions, you should run the issues upgrade command, in case there are any model migrations (e.g. 11th Jan 2016):

ckan -c path-to/ckan.ini issuesupdate

What it does

Once installed and enabled, the issues extension will make available a per- dataset issue tracker.

The issue tracker user interface can be found at:

/dataset/{dataset-name-or-id}/issues

You can add an issue at:

/dataset/{dataset-name-or-id}/issues/new

Issues API

The issues extension also exposes its functionality as part of the standard CKAN Action API:

Specifically:

/api/3/action/issue_show
/api/3/action/issue_create
/api/3/action/issue_update
/api/3/action/issue_delete
/api/3/action/issue_search
/api/3/action/issue_count
/api/3/action/issue_comment_create
/api/3/action/issue_report
/api/3/action/issue_report_clear
/api/3/action/issue_comment_report
/api/3/action/issue_comment_report_clear

Configuration

To switch-on notifications, you should set the following option in your configuration, and all users in the group will get the email.

ckanext.issues.send_email_notifications = true

If you set max_strikes then users can 'report' a comment as spam/abuse. If the number of users reporting a particular comment hits the max_strikes number then it is hidden, pending moderation.

ckanext.issues.max_strikes = 2

Activation

By default, issues are enabled for all datasets. If you wish to restrict issues to specific datasets or organizations, you can use these config options:

ckanext.issues.enabled_for_datasets = mydataset1 mydataset2 ...
ckanext.issues.enabled_for_organizations = department-of-transport health-regulator

Alternatively, you can switch issues on/off for particular datasets by using an extra field:

'issues_enabled': True

and you can set the default for all the other datasets (without that extra field):

ckanext.issues.enabled_without_extra = false

For the extra field to work you must not set enabled_per_dataset or enabled_for_organizations options.

Feedback

Please open an issue in the github issue tracker.
