Cleanups & Updates

[TkTech]

Changes:

• Migrate schema to Solr 8
• Validated functionality on Postgres 17 - no changes required.
• Remove the need for ckanext-asc-csa-scheming completely, can use upstream chanext-scheming again.
• Strip out metadata and temporary file cruft that was accidentally committed, some unused variables and code.
• Consistent linting and static checks with ruff.
• Fix legacy Python 2 basestring instance check.
• Ported from CKAN 2.9 to 2.11. ckanext-scheming and ckanext-fluent updated to master.
• Fixes to dataset indexing for 2.11.
• Fixes for missing CSRF meta tags on base template, required in 2.11.
• CSS compatibility fixes for 2.11 and WET.
• Adds support ckanext-bulk (need to add bulk to the list of plugins in the ckan.ini when deployed)
• Add views for Geo types, pdf, csv, images, etc
• Add long-form descriptions to resources.

Todo:

• Remove ckan/lib/* files and include only the 3 helpers that have changes in our plugin.
• Switch to built-in message flashing helpers, get rid of pop_message usage.

Issues:

• Keywords facet appears 3 times in search results - English, French, and raw JSON
• Spatial representation type search facet appears as a blank JSON list ([])
• Clear filters button has gone missing
• "More on this record" is showing all metadata fields

Required configuration:

At a minimum, the following must be in the ckan ini:

ckan.plugins = scheming_datasets datastore xloader stats resource_proxy geo_view text_view image_view datatables_view pdf_view fluent bulk csa

# Generate with `ckan -c <your ckan ini> user token add <username> xloader`
ckanext.xloader.api_token = 
# Same value as sqlalchemy.url
ckanext.xloader.jobs_db.uri =

ckan.views.default_views = datatables_view pdf_view geo_view image_view text_view recline_view video_view

The datastore and its related settings must also be configured.
