ckanext-scheming is a CKAN extension for customizing dataset, group and organization metadata forms, validation rules and display templates.
With ckanext-scheming 3.0 CKAN
dataset metadata forms may now be split across multiple pages using
start_form_page.
Example ckanext-scheming schema:
- start_form_page:
title: Detailed Info
description:
These fields improve search and give users important links
field_name: tag_string
label: Tags
Each start_form_page block marks a field at the beginning of a new page of fields.
All following fields without a new start_form_page block will appear on the same
page. This lets us maintain compatibility with existing schemas and makes it easy
to reassign pages over time without affecting how metadata appears in the API.
This ckanext-scheming release also comes with:
datastore_additional_choicesoption for adding static choices to a dynamic choice list- new
markdownandradiofield form snippets and presets - automated tests against CKAN 2.8 (py2), 2.9 (py2), 2.9 and 2.10
and many other fixes and improvements. See the changelog for all the details.
