CKAN < 2.9 support

As of 1.1.0 this extention has been made to work with CKAN 2.9. While attempts have been made to maintain compatibility with prior version of CKAN, there may be issues. If any issues are discovered we are happy to accept PRs. Alternatively for compatibility <2.9 the 1.0.0 tag can be used
