Feature request: ability to specify additional CKAN User fields

Open jqnatividad opened this issue 10 years ago • 2 comments

It would be nice to add additional fields to the user profile, e.g. twitter, github, API keys to 3rd-party services, etc.

I imagine these additional fields can be used by CKAN extensions to implement additional functionality - e.g. tweeting when a dataset is updated using the user's twitter account, rendering a CartoDB viz using their CartoDB account, etc.

If the user is an author of data, then a possible field would also be their ORCID ID (or similar) - unique ID for researchers http://orcid.org

I'd love this too. At the moment there's no plugin interface like IDatasetForm or IGroupForm for users. Should we move this issue to the ckan ideas repo instead?
