Much progress: getting closer
Posted by mholmes on 19 Oct 2011 in Activity log
Had a meeting with JJ today, and discussed progress so far, and what remains to be done. Today I've completed the following:
- The "Dramatic References" code is working, although a new caption ("Dramatic" instead of "Literary") now wraps the navigation box at the top left, making it a little too long -- CSS fixes needed.
- The two routemap pages have been slightly rewritten, and the routemap image for QMPS has been reworked, so that they're both static pages with locations on the maps hard-coded in the images as numbers. This makes them both consistent, and improves on the QMPS one, which wasn't working anyway on the old site.
- Several hundred targets/pointers have now been fixed; I think all are now completely consistent.
- Handling for three types of
<note>
element (editorial, authorial and marginal) has now been brought into line with the old site (although I intend to improve this, using a better popup as in the Mariage site). - Various bugs have been fixed.
The SVN repo has now been set up, and I've populated it. I've also configured the user access on two levels, doing this in the svnusers file:
# ----------------------------------------------------------------- london [london:/] @londonadmin = rw @londoneditors = r @unixadmin = r [london:/db/data] @londoneditors = rw
I tested this with one of our spare netlinks added to the londoneditors group, and found that I was able to write to /db/data, but couldn't write to /db/site. I don't think we have any other projects with any complexity in SVN permissions, so I'm blogging this in detail so we'll know how to do it next time.
Remaining major tasks:
- Another pass through documentation, adding info on
<note>
s etc. - The search system.
- Instructions for Windows users working with SVN. This will take some working out.
- Addition of NA to the list of londoneditors.
- A little routine to catch xml:id clashes on the ids.xql page.
- Checking/possible refactoring of documents in the Library subcollection.
- Templates for JJ to get started with markup.
- Addition of Library documents to the litref.xql system. Currently it only checks in the litref subcollection.
