The print version of volume 17 came back from the printers the other day, and is to JT's satisfaction, so I've removed the "proofing" label from the vol 17 articles, and added the page numbers to their metadata. They're now showing on the main contents page of the site. Volume 17 is now officially done.
I also fixed a bug on the author list page, caused by the first-time phenomenon of multiple authors (the first was showing up three times instead of all of them showing up).
We're having some preliminary discussions with some members of the TEI community about the possibility of a SIG to work on a TEI-based journal publishing schema. I've spent some time in the last couple of days thinking and participating.
Arrived at work a little late, due to the snow, and left at the normal time.
Budget / grant application meeting with CP and JL.
Thoroughly edited the help file.
Added two new values to the previous treatment lists and one new values to the recommended treatment lists.
Added "Facility" as a field one can search on. Also made facility one of the fields that appears by default in the results table.
Moved the document_id field in the results table so that it now appears as the last row of the default hidden rows for each record.
Received LR's latest NLM2TEI conversion XSL, and tested it with my NLM 2.3 files. There are about four problems in the resulting output, all minor, and all fixable. I sent a detailed report back to him. Some of them are actually due to restrictions in my own teiJournal schema which don't necessarily need to apply to TEI output from his XSLT, but others are due to more general issues. We're close to having working round-trip code now. It's partly an academic exercise, but it does also make a good testing procedure for the TEI-to-NLM code which teiJournal must have, and for his NLM-to-TEI code, which has general value.
Made a copy of the existing data from the beta site, in a folder called rc_site (for "release candidate"). I also cloned the db as citystatsDNS (a Star Trek theme), and then did the following to remove the Philadelphia data:
test_query.php page, and uncommented these calls:
buildIndexes(); echo buildTractLookupTable();which call functions from
query.php which rebuild some of my ancillary tables, based on the tables, so that Philadelphia data is no longer included. This functionality should be added into the upload.php code,
perhaps in such a way that it can be called independently (as you might
need to do if you've manually edited the core data tables), and/or is
called automatically when upload.php is run. Probably, at the end of upload.php,
it should redirect to an appropriate page, which would run these functions; then that page
should redirect back again, to show the results of upload.php (which
currently needs to be refreshed to show its results).
Barring any more bugs, this will probably go live before Christmas.
Met with Blair regarding the creation of a small site for a conference of deans happening here in March. Got the specs worked out - only a handful of pages and some pdf forms.
Decided to build the site based on the new templates provided by the central web people. Commented out most of the navigational code on the page. Changed the colour scheme using the base colour they provided and a highlight colour mathematically derived from it. Decided to use colours rather than images for backgrounds. Had to add half a dozen selectors to the custom.css file they provide to handle colouring of elements that inherit values from the central css file and don't look good against the red background in the navigation area. Adding comments to the code as I go, which I'll submit to them when I'm done.
