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()
Overhauled data access layer to support new model:
- Changed Item.getParent to Item.getCollections() to get ids of parent collections
- Removed Item.setPosition() -- item positions are set internally when items are added to and deleted from collections, but the orderIndex is not currently used or manipulatable externally
- Item constructor/Items.getNewItemByType()/Items.add() no longer take folderID and orderIndex as parameters
- Split getTreeRows() into Scholar.getCollections(parent) and Scholar.getItems(parent), which return root collections or all library items, respectively, if no parent given
- All references to folders in object/method/property names changed to collections
- New methods Collection.addItem(itemID), Collection.hasItem(itemID), Collection.removeItem(itemID)
- Collection.erase() takes optional deleteItems parameter to delete items from DB -- otherwise just removes association and leaves item in library (does, however, delete all descendent collections from DB regardless)
* Note: This will break displaying of items until interface code is updated. *
Switching to scholar@chnm.gmu.edu -- SVN folks should rename the text file in their FF profile directories. (Used to be scholar@chnm, so you need to make the change even if you hadn't changed to the GUID yet.) Anyone who's tried the XPI yet will need to reinstall just once from the URL (http://chnm.gmu.edu/firefoxscholar/download/scholar-dev.xpi), as the old version won't find updates with its id.
Added update.rdf for auto-update mechanism (which will get moved out of the extension root by the build system but should stay with a particular tree)
Assigned a new GUID to extension
*** Important: The extension GUID has changed, so you should rename the scholar@chnm text file in your Firefox profile exensions directory to our new GUID "{e007c81c-eb2a-4e1d-b381-d25a45cd11ed}" and restart Firefox ***
