Implemented isBefore and isAfter operators and added to date conditions -- currently have to type dates in SQL format, but we'll have a chooser or something by Beta 2 (this should probably be a known issue)
Added isLessThan and isGreaterThan to 'pages', 'section', 'accessionNumber', 'seriesNumber', and 'issue' fields, though somebody should probably check me on that list
Removed JS strict warning on empty search results
- Added support for tabbing between fields, which unfortunately we don't get for free from tabindex because of what we're doing with labels and textboxes. (The textbox being tabbed away from is deleted before the blur() completes, so it doesn't know where it's supposed to go next.) Basically replicated the built-in functionality for all the text fields -- can add on special tricks for creator adding/removing later.
- Increased spacing between rows slightly and adjusted margins to get rid of shifting when switching between label and textbox -- this also fixes the annoying clicking-off-a-textbox-to-the-lower-portion-of-a-label-below-it-doesn't-select-the-label problem.
not yet implemented:
- formatted in-text citations, rather than placeholders
- footnotes
- selection of citation style (for now, only APA is available)
- support for non-ASCII characters
- exclusion of notes from select items window
- Windows support (although it shouldn't be difficult)
- probably much more...
"Notes" column changed to "#" and combined with the attachment count. "#" isn't exactly immediately self-explanatory, but "Notes/attachments" would be way too long, and once you realize what it's for (i.e. the first time you create a child item), you really don't want the column taking up any more room than that... If people have a better suggestion, do share.
The notes/attachment count wasn't going down on an attachment deletion because it's not actually a notes/attachment count at all--it's a notes count, and new attachments were incorrectly incrementing it.
This technically either fixes or invalidates #202 ("attachments categorized as notes"), depending on how you look at it, but I'll change that to reflect the desired goal of having a combined notes/attachments count.
Refs #202
The problem was twofold: 1) onselect="ScholarItemPane.loadPane(this.selectedIndex)" is (for some reason) triggered when clicking off of the "+" creator add button onto the rest of the deck pane (and not just when switching tabs) and 2) the selectedIndex passed into loadPane() from the deck during the non-tab triggers is (for some reason) an empty string rather than the index of the selected tab, which is why the creator problem only used to happen the first time you clicked away from a "+" (before the empty string was stored as a key in the _loaded array). (In short, onselect for decks is pretty broken.)
Now only calling loadPane if (this.selectedIndex!=='') -- can't just test for typeof=='number' because this.selectedIndex on the deck is always a string
refs #179 and #190
- Added 'fulltext' condition as shortcut to add an operator/value against all string-based conditions -- can be used for quicksearch within a view if collectionID/savedSearchID is added as a required condition along with it
Note that the 'fulltext' condition isn't stored internally and addCondition() doesn't return a searchConditionID for it, so it's not really meant to be used for saved searches.
Example:
var search = new Scholar.Search();
search.addCondition('collectionID', 'is', 6856, true);
search.addCondition('fulltext', 'contains', 'wellman');
Scholar.debug(search.search());
- Fixed isNot/doesNotContain for items table fields and collectionID
Conditions can now offer drop-down menus rather than freeform text fields -- implemented for collections/saved searches and item types
Special handling to combine collections and saved searches into a single "Collection" menu (can we get away with calling them "Smart Collections"?) -- internally, values are stored as C1234 or S5678 in the interface and converted to/from regular collectionID and savedSearchID conditions for search.js
Use localized strings for conditions (tries searchConditions.* first, then itemFields.*)
Alphabetize condition list
Operator menu now fixed length for all conditions
- Support for multiple id collection/search remove/modify notifications
- New method Scholar.Searches.get(id) to get 'id' and 'name' for a particular savedSearchID
Scholar.Attachments.importSnapshotFromFile(file, url, title, mimeType, charset, sourceItemID)
file is primary file within directory -- file.parent is copied into the storage directory
url is the original URL associated with the snapshot
Attachments.importFromURL() now first does a HEAD request to get the MIME type and passes that through Scholar.MIME.hasInternalHandler() (now abstracted from Scholar.File, along with the other MIME functions) -- if it can handle the MIME type, it uses a hidden browser; otherwise, it use a remote web page persist to save the file directly
closes#160, cache regular expressions
closes#188, rewrite MARC handling functions
MARC-based translators should now produce item types besides "book." right now, artwork, film, and manuscript are available. MARC also has codes for various types of audio (speech, music, etc.) and maps.
the EBSCO translator does not yet produce attachments. i sent them an email because their RIS export is invalid (the URLs come after the "end of record" field) and i'm waiting to see if they'll fix it before i try to fix it myself.
the EBSCO translator is unfortunately a bit slow, because it has to make 5 requests in order to get RIS export. the alternative (scraping individual item pages) would be even slower.
regular expression caching can be turned off by disabling extensions.scholar.cacheTranslatorData in about:config. if you leave it on, you'll have to restart Firefox after updating translators.
