CkanUrlException Error Issues with ckanext-openafrica and CKAN 2.8 about ckanext-openafrica HOT 2 CLOSED

Thank you for your response.

I posted the same question under the ckan issues list, and they were kind enough to respond. They let me know that:

The syntax for url_for changed as the different controllers were moved to Flask blueprints, instead of url_for(controller=controller, action=action) you need url_for(blueprint.view_function). Most cases are backwards compatible but this particular one is different because there is a new blueprint for dashboards.

They suggested that I update the code to:

<a href="{{ h.url_for('dashboard.index') }}">Control Panel</a>

So I've done so under /usr/lib/ckan/default/src/ckanext-openafrica/ckanext/openafrica/templates/header.html

from:
<a href="{{ h.url_for(controller='user', action='dashboard') }}">Control Panel</a>

to:
<a href="{{ h.url_for('dashboard.index') }}">Control Panel</a>

That seems to fix the issue. Thank you.

Hey @tchnlgst

As you may have guessed by now, openAFRICA is still running CKAN 2.7. We are also very interested in upgrading it to the latest CKAN release but we just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Looking at v2.8 changelog looks like there were a lot of changes that could cause the above, among them:

• Major Changes: New Flask blueprints migrated from old Pylons controllers: user, dashboard, feeds, admin and home (#3927, #3870, #3775, #3762)
• Minor Changes: Standardize on url_for (#3831)

Please start there and let us know what you find.
