New changes and feature requests
Posted by mholmes on 14 Feb 2011 in Activity log
This is the latest set of updates and feature requests from JW. Some quick ones I've done; others are outstanding until I have some time. Added some more from JW's email of 2011-02-26.
- DONE: 2011-03-01: Notes field should be a minimum size of 5-6 lines. (This may require a setter for field sizes in the appropriate db_fields class.)
- DONE: 2011-03-01: Transcription field should be a minimum of 15-20 lines (ditto as above).
- DONE: 2011-03-01: Linked files field should have fewer lines (four perhaps?). Ditto as above.
- DONE 2011-02-28: In the ‘Dissent types’ table, could item #14 (“Communication vocab: Bruits publics, murmures, etc.”) be moved to the ‘News/info’ table?
- DONE 2011-02-28: Also in the ‘News/info’ table: can two fields be moved to the “Concerns of authorities” table? They seem misplaced. The fields are: “Sedition: how to counteract seditious words”, and “Importance of communicating to peasants”
- DONE 2011-02-28: In looking at any given table, might it be possible eventually to 'sort' a column, for example, by date, or alphabetically by revolt name, etc?
- DONE: Could you please simply remove the 'project' field? My political societies article is done (and it was never relevant to add records to it); and with counterfeiting I think I'd like to start a fresh database, like I have with the manifestoes. There are a few documents listed as ‘political societies’ project – they’re being used for ShowofHa as well, so they can just stay in without any distinction.
- DONE: There seems to be a leftover custom field, “Other” in “References to types of dissent”. Could this be added to the ‘Dissent types’ one-to-many field? (Only five records -- did this manually.)
- DONE: Change title of regular field: from "Dissent topics: desc." to "Dissent: desc." (so can use it for elaboration on dissent types as well as dissent topics)
- DONE: Is it possible to change the name of the table “Meeting places” to “Locations”? I’m using these fields to flag information about different locations, whether it be meeting places or revolt loci or focus of police investigations…etc., so I need a less-specific title.
- DONE: In the “Concerns of authorities” table, could you please merge “Sedition: Assumption that peasant is not the guilty one” into “Assumption: peasants = not leaders”?
UPDATE `docs_to_authConcerns` SET `dta_authConcern_id_fk`="18" WHERE `dta_authConcern_id_fk`="9"
- DONE: And also with the “Concerns of authorities” table, can we rename it to “Authorities’ perspective”?
