New methods:
Item.addTag(tag)
Item.getTags() -- array of tagIDs
Item.removeTag(tagID)
Tags.getName(tagID)
Tags.getID(tag)
Tags.add(text) -- returns tagID of new tag
Tags.purge() -- purge obsolete tags
The last two are for use by Item.addTag() and Item.removeTag(), respectively, and probably don't need to be used elsewhere.
Item.save() changed to not call notify() if a transaction is in progress, which is totally going to trip someone up at some point, and probably me, but it's better than a new parameter
Item.toArray() implemented -- builds up a multidimensional array of item data, converting all type ids to their textual equivalents -- currently has empty placeholder arrays for tags and seeAlso
Sample source output:
'itemID' => "2"
'itemType' => "book"
'title' => "Computer-Mediated Communication: Human-to-Human Communication Across the Internet"
'dateAdded' => "2006-03-12 05:25:50"
'dateModified' => "2006-03-12 05:25:50"
'publisher' => "Allyn & Bacon Publishers"
'year' => "2002"
'pages' => "347"
'ISBN' => "0-205-32145-3"
'creators' ...
'0' ...
'firstName' => "Susan B."
'lastName' => "Barnes"
'creatorType' => "author"
'notes' ...
'0' ...
'note' => "text"
'tags' ...
'seeAlso' ...
'1' ...
'note' => "text"
'tags' ...
'seeAlso' ...
'tags' ...
'seeAlso' ...
Sample note output:
'itemID' => "17"
'itemType' => "note"
'dateAdded' => "2006-06-27 04:21:16"
'dateModified' => "2006-06-27 04:21:16"
'note' => "text"
'sourceItemID' => "2"
'tags' ...
'seeAlso' ...
sourceItemID won't exist if it's an independent note.
We'll use the same format in reverse for fromArray, so Simon, let me know if you need more data (preserving type ids, etc) or want anything in a different form.
- Added 'note' item type
- Updated API to support independent note creation
Notes are, more or less, just regular items, with an item type of 1. They're created through Scholar.Notes.add(text, sourceItemID), which returns the itemID of the new note. sourceItemID is optional--if left out, an independent note will be created. (There's currently nothing stopping you from doing getNewItemByType(1) yourself, but the note would be contentless and broken, so you shouldn't do that.) Note data could've been stuffed into itemData, but I kept it separate in itemNotes to keep metadata searching faster and to keep things cleaner.
Methods calls that can be called on all items:
isNote() (same as testing for itemTypeID 1)
Method calls that can be called on source items only:
numNotes()
getNotes() (array of note itemIDs for a source)
Method calls that can be called on note items only:
updateNote(text)
setNoteSource(sourceItemID) (for changing source--use empty or false to make independent, which is currently what happens when you delete a note--will get option with #91)
getNote() (note content)
getNoteSource() (sourceItemID of a note)
Calling the above methods on the wrong item types will throw an error.
*** This will break note creation/display until David updates interface code. ***
- Move processDocuments, a function for loading a DOM representation of a document or set of documents, to Scholar.Utilities.HTTP
- Add Scholar.Ingester.ingestURL, a simplified function to scrape a URL (closes#33)
- This required moving the icon to the title field so that the indent would work out right. The type column (which for new installs will be hidden) displays the type in text.
- I expect several small bugs in regard to this.
closes#26, notes list in notes pane
closes#79, add icons for new object types
fixes#71, Metadata pane should be refreshed on a notify() event for the selected item
- 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']
