ckanext-fileedit

A minimal text editor for CKAN sysadmins

ckanext-fileedit lets you edit text files through the CKAN Admin interface. You can provide a function to validate file contents before they are saved, e.g. to make sure a JSON or template file is valid. You can also provide a function to run after the file was saved successfully, e.g. to restart the web server or clear a cache.

Minimal config

ckan.plugins = ... file_edit

file_edit.editable_files = [{"path": "/path/to/my/file"}]

  }]
