We're going to want to require a few plugins by default. Look at the work that @rgradeck & co. wind up doing for the Western Pennsylvania Regional Data Center repository, which will surely constitute a solid practice. Specifically, I want to ensure that data.json files are published, I'm tempted to store all data on S3, convert SHPs to GeoJSON, chart data, the DCAT extension seems like a good idea, and geospatial support would be nice. It'd be good to support Google Analytics for sites that want it, but that might be a non-trivial addition (e.g., how do they provide their GA ID?)

Also, I want to modify the template some.

Let me know if you need a list of plugins we're using. I can cobble something together.

@rgradeck Would you mind sharing the list of plugins that you're using? I believe I'm ready to put that list to work now. :)

rgradeck commented 8 years ago

Here’s a list of the extensions we have installed.
https://github.com/ckan/ckanext-basiccharts https://github.com/ckan/ckanext-dashboard https://github.com/ckan/ckanext-harvest https://github.com/conwetlab/ckanext-datarequests https://github.com/ckan/ckanext-dcat https://github.com/ckan/ckanext-disqus https://github.com/pduchesne/ckanext-geoview https://github.com/ckan/ckanext-mapviews https://github.com/whythawk/ckanext-odata https://github.com/ckan/ckanext-pdfview https://github.com/open-data/ckanext-scheming https://github.com/ckan/ckanext-spatial https://github.com/ckan/ckanext-viewhelpers

Our personal CKAN theme: https://github.com/UCSUR-Pitt/ckanext-wprdctheme

We also worked with Ontodia and they installed a CartoDB extension ckanext-cartodbmap

Not sure if the WPRDC theme is the one that was modified to contain our custom metadata schema, but we did modify one of the extensions to account for our metadata theme.

FYI due to our customization of metadata, the data.json file is not currently working (we need to fix the plugin), so we're not yet being harvested by data.gov. This is something we intend to fix.

We're also using wordpress pages to prepare our showcase posts, but some others may want to use the showcase extension within CKAN.

:clap: Thank you! That's a heck of a collection of plugins. :) I appreciate it!
