- import translators no longer fail when trying to import an item with no name
- the T2/BT field becomes the publication title when no JO/JF field is available (fixes newspaper issues)
- Y2 is now treated as part of the date if and only if it is improperly formatted (seriously, why can't Thomson get their own specs straight?)
- work around EndNote's strange behavior of putting article titles into notes for no apparent reason
- RIS export gives dates as per specification
- fixed a bug that could have (potentially) caused problems formatting "January"
- allow translators to access strToDate function
positions "saving item" window in a slightly better place on Windows
the UMich bug was actually bigger than I though. as it turns out, the HiddenDOMWindow in Windows is not a chrome window, so i had to modify createHiddenBrowser() to attach the hidden browser object to an existing browser window. i don't believe this should have any adverse effects for snapshots, etc., but Dan, correct me if i'm wrong. it would be nice to be able to create a real chrome instance instead of a XUL element, but all of my attempts at doing so have failed.
- make EBSCO scraper work better through a proxy
- shorten Accession Number -> Accession No, Journal Abbreviation -> Journal Abbr, Publication Title -> Publication. it does look a bit stranger, but it also makes the interface more functional (especially for those of us without giant widescreen LCDs ;-)
modifies scrapers to use dates in the format that comes out of the page, rather than converting to SQL
adds Scholar.Date.formatDate() to provide a pretty representation of dates
- Scholar.strToDate() accepts a string date and returns an object containing year, month, day, and part
- capture access date whenever URL is captured
- updated Zotero.dot to use new namespaces
- About panel now gets version number automatically
- Change version from 1.0a1 to 1.0b1
* Important: If you're on an SVN install, you need to rename the scholar@chnm.gmu.edu text file in your profile extension directory to zotero@chnm.gmu.edu *
XPI installs will (I think) update automatically, since I kept an entry in updates.rdf with the old GUID
Added isUTC parameter to Scholar.Date.sqlToDate() and now run the two columns through that
Side effect: now using toLocaleString() to format the date strings
The Scholar database is backed up on browser close. On startup, if the main database is damaged, the extension saves a copy of the damaged file and tries to restore from the last automatic backup. If it fails, it creates a new database file.
New methods:
Scholar.getScholarDatabase(string [ext])
Scholar.backupDatabase()
Scholar.moveToUnique(file, newFile) -- find a unique filename using the leafName of newFile as the suggested name (using the built-in Mozilla functionality) and move the file there
Scholar.Date.getFileDateString(file)
Scholar.Date.getFileTimeString(file)
closes#4, Make printable version
- moves functions for creating and deleting hidden browser objects to scholar.js (from ingester.js), since these are necessary for printing as well
- allows saving bibliography in HTML or printing bibliography. style support is not yet complete (pending finalization of 0.9 version of CSL specification).
- Added detection for network failure -- debug message is output and noNetwork property is added to the xmlhttp object
- Removed onStatus callback from HTTP.doGet and HTTP.doPost -- that was copied over from the Piggy Bank API, but the onDone callback has to handle errors anyway, so it can just check the status code if it actually cares to differentiate non-200 status codes from any other error
- Added error handling for empty responseXML to Schema._updateScrapersRemoteCallback
- Renamed SCHOLAR_CONFIG['REPOSITORY_CHECK_RETRY'] to SCHOLAR_CONFIG['REPOSITORY_RETRY_INTERVAL']
Scholar.Prefs also registers itself as a preferences observer and can be used to trigger actions when certain prefs are changed by editing the switch statement in the observe() method
Updated preferences.js to use Scholar.Prefs
Added a separate retry interval so that the extension retries sooner after failures (browser offline, request failure, etc.)
Revision 200 -- w00t i am victorious
- Removed localLastUpdated field from scrapers table and renamed centralLastUpdated to lastUpdated; updated scraper queries accordingly
- Added query in scrapers.sql to update version table 'repository' row to prevent immediate downloads of newly installed scrapers
- Get version property from extension manager in Scholar.init() and assign to Scholar.version
Scholar.HTTP.doGet(url, onStatus, onDone) and Scholar.HTTP.doPost(url, body, onStatus, onDone) -- onStatus and onDone are callbacks to call on non-200 responses and the response body, respectively
- Broke schema functions into separate object and got rid of DB_VERSION config constant in favor of a toVersion variable in the _migrateSchema command (which isn't technically necessary either, since the version number at the top of schema.sql is now always compared to the DB version at startup) but will help reduce the chance that someone will update the schema file without adding migration steps)
- Removed Amazon scraper from schema.sql, as it will be loaded with the rest of the scrapers
- Lots of work to be done. For example, the present way of showing a textbox is sort of a hack - taking a label, assigning certain properties to a textbox, then removing the label and placing the textbox in its place. I will be looking into our options.
- Also, I need to figure out adding/editing/deleting creators.
- When the textbox loses focus, it updates and saves the item (like iCal).
Date: removed Scholare.Date functions, as they are overkill. We can use the built-in Date.toLocaleString()
