Ported web app to new Cocoon, and added new pages
Posted by mholmes on 08 Oct 2010 in Activity log
I've created a new standalone Cocoon webapp using the original code and our standard Cocoon build from last year. I had to make some simple changes, but everything ported quite well.
I've posted this web application on the Pear server, which will be its long-term home.
I've also added a couple of refinements, as planned:
- There are now two links in the menu to the entries, one of which shows only those from files with
status="completed"(as before); the other link shows all the entries in the database. I think the second view will be useful to ECH and SMK as they work on the files. - There's now a Status link on the menu, which leads to a page showing information about all of the files currently in the database. It shows the filename, its status, the number of entries in that file, the date of the last change, and a list of all the changes that have been done. The final column in the table shows "To do" entries. These are harvested from any XML comment which is inside the
<revisionDesc>element, which contains these characters: "TODO:". This gives us a single standard location and method of storing a TODO list for each file; when actions are completed, a TODO comment can be turned into a<change>entry.
I haven't yet turned off the old site, but I'd like to do that soon, once I get approval from ECH.
