ckanext-resource-pagination 0.1.0

Paginate resources on CKAN dataset pages

ckanext-resource-pagination

Paginate resources on CKAN dataset pages. Prevents browser crashes on datasets with thousands of resources by showing 50 per page with navigation controls.

Requirements

• CKAN 2.11+
• Python 3.8+

Installation

pip install ckanext-resource-pagination

Or from source:

pip install -e git+https://github.com/tanmayagrawal21/ckanext-resource-pagination.git#egg=ckanext-resource-pagination

Configuration

Add resource_pagination to ckan.plugins in your ckan.ini:

ckan.plugins = ... resource_pagination

No other configuration needed.

How it works

The plugin overrides the dataset read view (/dataset/<id>) to:

1. Fetch the dataset via package_show (standard CKAN behavior)
2. Slice the resources list to 50 items based on the resource_page URL parameter
3. Only call resource_view_list on the visible 50 resources (not all of them)
4. Pass pagination metadata to the template for rendering page controls

This means a dataset with 11,000 resources loads as fast as one with 20.
