stopgap upgrade

[saylorsd]

To prevent any serious downtime and potential loss of data, we need to migrate to the new database ASAP.

Steps:

• Get a CKAN 2.10 deployment working with our new database.
• Install the necessary extensions.
• Update datajson extension to work with 2.10
• Update(rewrite?) extension for promoted views.
• Install other suggested extensions (if added in comments)
• Install old theme. Slightly tweak default theme to fit old color scheme.

There are two important extensions that we currently can't use with CKAN 2.10: datajson and featureviews.

They're being tracked in their own issues:
#20
#21

datajson is fixed. I will hold canonical/promoted/dataset-landing-page views as a last thing; it can happen after launch.

Some final style fixes still need to be done:

• pagination on datatables
• datatables buttons
• activity stream page
• style private dataset badge .dataset-private.badge

Hi @saylorsd how did you fixed the iroutes issue

I want to redirect homepage to /dataset

[saylorsd]

@marikanti On our site (https://data.wprdc.org) we handle that by defining a redirect in a web server (nginx).

This location directive tells nginx to redirect requests to https://data.wprdc.org/ to https://data.wprdc.org/dataset/.

    location ~ ^/$ {
        return 301 /dataset/;
    }

If you're using apache there should be a similar way of setting up a redirect.

Hope that helps.
