ckanext-datasetcopy

Adds an option to copy an existing dataset as a template for a new dataset. Enabling the plugin adds a "copy"-button into the dataset edit view.

Requirements

Tested with CKAN v2.6, but should work fine with older 2.x versions.

Installation

To install ckanext-datasetcopy:

1. Activate your CKAN virtual environment, for example:

   . /usr/lib/ckan/default/bin/activate
   

2. Install the ckanext-datasetcopy Python package into your virtual environment:

   pip install ckanext-datasetcopy
   

3. Add datasetcopy to the ckan.plugins setting in your CKAN config file (by default the config file is located at /etc/ckan/default/production.ini).

4. Restart CKAN. For example if you've deployed CKAN with Apache on Ubuntu:

   sudo service apache2 reload
