ckanext-showcase
================

Showcase and link to datasets in use. Datasets used in an app, website or
visualization, or featured in an article, report or blog post can be showcased
within the CKAN website. Showcases can include an image, description, tags and
external link. Showcases may contain several datasets, helping users discover
related datasets being used together. Showcases can be discovered by searching
and filtered by tag.

Site sysadmins can promote selected users to become 'Showcase Admins' to help
create, populate and maintain showcases.

ckanext-showcase is intended to be a more powerful replacement for the
'Related Item' feature.

Development Installation
------------------------

To install ckanext-showcase for development, activate your CKAN virtualenv and
do::

git clone https://github.com/ckan/ckanext-showcase.git
cd ckanext-showcase
pip install -e .
pip install -r dev-requirements.txt

The extension contains a custom build of CKEditor to allow using a WYSIWYG editor
to write the content of the showcase. It has been built using `webpack` and the
repository contains all the files needed to edit and customize it if needed::

npm install
npx webpack --config webpack.config.js

Build anatomy
* assets/build/ckeditor.js - The ready-to-use editor bundle, containing the editor and all plugins.
* assets/js/showcase-editor - The CKAN module that will load and config the bundle when using it as data-module attribute.
* assets/src/ckeditor.js - The source entry point of the build. Based on it the build/ckeditor.js file is created by webpack. It defines the editor creator, the list of plugins and the default configuration of a build.
* webpack.config.js - The webpack configuration used to build the editor.

More info on how to build CKEditor from source:

ckanext.showcase.editor = ckeditor

ckan -c {path to production.ini} showcase markdown-to-html
