Background and strategic fit

In order to better separate the organization and structure them, we decide to go for a hierarchical representation of organizations and their sub-departments. In HEF AgriHUB we used our own adaption of this extension, however, later CKAN itself also officially introduced an extension which works with our CKAN: https://github.com/ckan/ckanext-hierarchy

Installations and Requirements

To install ckanext-hierarchy on a production site:

  1. Activate your CKAN virtual environment, for example:

    ENV /usr/lib/ckan/default/bin/activate

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

    pip install -e git+https://github.com/tum-gis/ckanext-hierarchy#egg=ckanext-hierarchy

  3. Install the rest of Python modules required by the extension:

    pip install -r /usr/lib/ckan/default/src/ckanext-hierarchy/requirements.txt
  4. Add hierarchy_display and hierarchy_form to the ckan.plugins setting in your CKAN config file

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

    sudo service apache2 reload

User interaction and design

The original design is simply accepted. However, there is still a place to improve the tree structure
