Added menu item for adding datasets, as shown below. To make sure this menu item doesn't appear for anonymous users (not logged in), I downloaded and installed the menu_item_visibility module. dropdown

We can find the upload data form in /vagrant/dkan/profiles/dkan/modules/dkan/dkan_dataset/dkan_dataset.forms.inc.

Per this comment in the DKAN Developers group, I tried changing the resource definition. As warned, I ran into a number of errors involving the dkan_dataset.forms.inc file referenced above. For these reasons, I think it might be best to consider a third-party upload site. problem

Typeform works with the Zapier API, but we'll have to pay extra for file uploads. Currently testing out functionality in my Webhooks repository. screen shot 2016-08-04 at 11 14 00 am
