I want to change mysite.org/organization/someinstitution to mysite.org/institution/someinstitution

In ckan/ckan/config/routing.py the urls are defined like this:

m.connect('organization_read', '/organization/{id}', action='read')

Is there a way to change this using an extension or by any other means?, I don't want to modify the master branch.

Update: The current best way to implement custom organization types is to use ckanext-scheming, as described here. This will automatically register all the appropriate routes for you.

It is not as straight-forward as datasets with the IDatasetForm interface, but you can change the /organization URLs to /institution by changing the routing with the IRoutes interface.

Here is an example that changes /organization to /publisher:

  • Thanks for your answer @amercader. So the only thing I have to do is to bind **ckan.controllers.organization:OrganizationController** to the desired routes? – Urkonn Sep 22 '14 at 17:09
  • Yes, the example shows how to essentially replace all the core routes for the organization controller with custom ones on your extension – amercader Sep 23 '14 at 10:49
