GCWeb Implementation with CKAN #1626

Open cooper-a opened 4 years ago

cooper-a commented 4 years ago

This a general issue regarding integrating CKAN with GCWeb branding.

If there is anyone else working on a similar implementation, where they have a dynamic website backend and are attempting to use GCWeb I'd love to get in touch. CKAN uses Flask/Pylons on the backend and uses Jinja 2 templating to serve the front end templates.

The goal is to get a similar application to the Open Government Data Portal.

The Federal open data portal uses the gcweb theme with ckan via ckanext-wet-boew and ckanext-canada both of which be found on https://GitHub.com/open-data/.

@TkTech I've been in contact with Ian Ward about following something similar to ckanext-canada. The main issue that has been identified is that ckanext-canada was using a the older version of CKAN that did not support the same bootstrap version, so Ian said that it took some "changes to bootstrap classes", where as with the newest release version of CKAN uses the same bootstrap version and as a result should be easier to implement now. Because we want to use the newest version of CKAN at my organization we would not be following the exact implementation of the GC Federal open data portal.
