This CKAN Extension customises a CKAN instance for the hosting of data.gov.au.

It comprises:

• A custom Package edit form that defaults to cc-by licence
• Replaces links with http/https protocol independent versions
• Provides HTML to users to embed data previews on their own website
• A cut down licenses.json file

This extension is complemented by ckanext-agls for AGLS metadata, ckanext-googleanalytics for Google Analytics tracking of API usage and ckanext-dga-stats for the customised site statistics page.

Installation

To install this package, from your CKAN virtualenv, run the following from your CKAN base folder (e.g. pyenv/):

pip install -e git+https://github.com/okfn/ckanext-datagovau#egg=ckanext-datagovau

Then activate it by setting ckan.plugins = datagovau in your main ini-file.

To add the cut down licenses.json set licenses_group_url = http://%(ckan.site_url)/licenses.json or copy ckanext/datagovau/theme/public/licenses.json to the same folder as your CKAN config ini file and set licenses_group_url = file://%(here)s/licenses.json
