[style] Better add/remove Creator buttons.
[fix] The sorting should not randomly switch the order of two items with the same sort value (eg, Barnes vs. Barnes).
[fix] The browser should not open with two sorted columns.
scholar.properties addition is just to keep metadata panel from breaking and could probably be removed once interface is hard-coded to not display the notes field there
- Send a 'delete' rather than a 'remove' to itemViews when items are actually deleted (removals from collections still get 'remove' unless it's part of a collection erase)
1) Items into collections.
2) Collections into collections.
Dan S, please check this out, I am getting some exceptions from the data access portion.
[interface] Temporarily, "metadata" pane on the right is not resizable.
Added creatorTypeID to the PK in itemCreators, because a creator could conceivably have two roles on an item
Throw an error if attempt to save() an item with two identical creator/creatorTypeID combinations, since, assuming this shouldn't be allowed (i.e. we don't have a four-column PK), there's really no way to handle this elegantly on my end -- interface code can use new method Item.creatorExists(firstName, lastName, creatorTypeID, skipIndex), with skipIndex set to the current index, to make sure this isn't done
Integrated the scrapers with the schema update mechanism. Changed a bunch of schema methods to handle both schema.sql and scrapers.sql (or others, if need be) and altered the version table to track mu
ltiple versions for different files. This theoretically should detect that the version table has changed and force a reinitialization of the DB--let me know if there are problems.
- 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()
- Implemented loadDocument API, for loading and parsing the DOMs of HTML documents in the background
- Added scraper code to SVN repository (now includes 12 scrapers, see Writeboard for details)
To update to the latest versions of all scrapers, ensure you have an up-to-date version of sqlite3, then run:
sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/Firefox/Profiles/profileName/scholar.sqlite < scrapers.sql
The real search function will be considerably more advanced/flexible, but this should work as a placeholder for the moment. Probably quick enough for FAYT, at least with a ~0.5 second delay to avoid unnecessary calls while people are typing (which is probably a good idea anyway). This search doesn't use indexes at all, so if more speed is needed, one option would be to maintain a manual FULLTEXT-type index (using triggers, ideally) that could be quickly searched, but we'd lose intra-word filtering, which people would probably expect...
parentCollectionID is optional and defaults to moving item to root
Returns true on success, false on attempt to move collection into its existing parent, itself or a descendent collection; throws exception on invalid parentCollectionID
Sends a columnTree notify() with previous parent ID, id of collection itself, and new parent ID (unless the previous or new are the root, in which case it's omitted) -- that may or may not make sense for the interface code and can be changed if needed
New items are automatically selected.
When adding a new item, or editing an item without a creator, display an empty creator box.
Edit button changed from toggling to Save/Cancel buttons.
Simple "Do you want to save changes?" dialog if you select a different item while in edit mode.
