FrancoToile

The goal is to have http://francotoile2.uvic.ca/index.xql point to http://pear.hcmc.uvic.ca:8081/francotoile/francotoile/index.xql .

Currently, points to http://francotoile2.uvic.ca/francotoile/francotoile/index.xql . I haven't been able to accomplish this at the eXIst level; this may need to be done in either Tomcat or Apache.

I've tried the following things in francotoile/WEB-INF/controller-config.xml with no success:

• Changing this:

  <root pattern="/francotoile" path="xmldb:exist:///db/francotoile"/>
  

  To this:

  <root pattern="/" path="xmldb:exist:///db/francotoile"/>
  

• Commenting out all <root pattern...> elements and adding this:

  <root server-name="francotoile2.uvic.ca" pattern="/*" path="xmldb:exist:///db/org/site1/"/>
  

The single-page search in FrancoToile generates error messages. I need to fix that. Also, I suspect there are still problems with IE stretching the bg images and displaying the word "events".

Met with Catherine on FranctoToile, she asked about:
- putting a .htaccess file on the site
- limiting access to all netlinkIDs AND 1 made-up user name
- allowing empty search string in the advanced search interface (so users could find e.g. all transcripts of females regardless of what those transcripts contained)
- whether we should break the collection up into subcollections, what the names for each of those sub-collections should be (possibly continents), and whether we'd then want to include an additional field in the xml data files relating with that piece of information in it.
- changing the word "Watch" to "Browse" in the English interface.

Include some or all of city, region/province/state, country (comma separated)

values in the drop-down include only countries and regions/provinces/states (but data file contains town in case that's wanted later). Catherine needs to provide those values to Stewart for inclusion in the drop-down.

search page already looks for "includes" rather than "="

Include cleaned-up plain text with hyperlinks of transcript of whole file. [Done Feb 3]

Currently there are no sub-collections, so have the Watch button call browse.php with a collection argument so that it goes straight to the list of videos. [Done Jan 31]

Include persTrait@description element and age element in the GUI (possibly between tabs and transcript) [Done Jan 31]

Age categories as follows: 0-9, 10-14, 15-18, 19-25, 26-39, 40-54, 55-64, 65+. I'll see if I can write code to work out from the age in the data file which category to use.

Use residence as current location.
Use nationality as place of origin.

Rename .mov files with appropriate code.

Task completed 31 January 2007

The project consists of a collection of video files with XML transcript files. Catherine and MarieClaude need to learn to create standardized video files, get timestamps for each utterance (iMovie and QTPlayer) and then create an XML file in Oxygen which validates against the FrancoToile.rng file. Task will be considered done when they have produced their first complete video clip and valid data file.
Declared complete 19 Dec when Catherine said they had completed and validated one data file with video.

Code for this project is based on Mike Elkink's code for Lansdowne lectures. It uses PHP to generate xqueries which are evaluated against an eXist database. I need to learn enough xquery to add search filters needed for this project, and to overcome the id($var) calls, which work in lansdowne but are generating errors here.
