Adaptive Database

Added the new properties file to Manifestoes, Properties and JsrDocs, so it'll be there the next time I svn update them.

Following my own instructions in the previous post, the following files have now been removed:

• includes/footer.inc
• includes/header.inc
• includes/instructions.inc
• includes/meta.inc
• includes/title.inc

and replaced with variables in a file called project_variables_SAMPLE.php, which is to be saved as project_variables.php and edited for the project-specific data.

Now I need to create a copy of that file for every existing project, so they can be updated from SVN.

This is a list of things I've noticed which need to be updated, fixed or coded:

• The following files contain content which is specific to the local copy of the database; they should not be overwritten when doing an update from SVN:
  • includes/footer.inc
  • includes/header.inc
  • includes/instructions.inc
  • includes/meta.inc
  • includes/title.inc
  These should all be replaced by variables which are initialized in a file called project_variables.php in the proj folder, except for instructions.inc; the latter should be rewritten to be completely generic, but when it's used, it should be followed by an include which pulls in supplementary instructions from the variable file. The variable file should not be under version control, but there should be a generic version called project_variables_SAMPLE.php which is under version control.
• The enter.php file should not render all the tables in a single tab; instead, it should render only one table, based on the tableToShow parameter. The other tabs should be links. That will make the whole thing much quicker.
