Metacat

allow user to specify the data columns included for the transpose data set (score, response, response file).
decided in today's CC

choices for metadata tags to include:
1-10, increments of 1; 11-50 increments of 10

include input selection for the number of metadata fields to download
http://bugzilla.ecoinformatics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4414

hide the "transpose" checkbox except when on the data cart page

Now doing the dataquery/download in the FIRST skin's jsp rather than embedded in the Metacat servlet.
TODO: implement the very-custom data return format agreed upon by the FIRST team

include pivot options for dataquery

handle mixture of datapackages: some with demographic data, some without.
takes advantage of the [new] StaticSelectionItem feature in the datamanager

include demographic data if present in the datapackage
TODO: handle a mixture of datapackages when performing the union (i.e. cases when one package as demographic data and the other does not)
http://bugzilla.ecoinformatics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3519

assessment title and type are now elements rather than attributes in edml

pull out the IE/FF differences into common method that returns the document object for an iFrame (works with IE now!)

try IE work around for iframe access

update the status of search items WRT the cart when adding/removing from within the search results view (when you add an assessment, the icon changes to the "remove" icon)

swap out new add/remove cart icons, ensure left and right chalkboard borders continue all the way down the page with the content

redesign the look and feel - save point.
-cart editing is done by clicking individual assessments rather than doing them in batches.
-cart status is shown in the search results (but still need a refresh for after adding cart items from search...)

improve clarity of the available cart actions by:
-hiding/showing the logical options for a given screen (only allowed to remove when viewing the cart)
-refresh when cart changes - more positive feedback that pushing buttons actually did something.

make "add to cart" more obvious (with icon, too!)

refresh the entire cart view when modifications are made.
add icons to many of the control features (download, remove...)

added Scriptaculous effects to many of the ajax calls.
neat-o!

can now select and save metadata fields from a document and use them when merging across documents in the "cart"

[optionally] view assessment details from within results set

rearrange pages, search features, etc...

added place holders for structured search fields

refactor search methods into common search.js file.
start on making ajax-based search from the index page.
state of things: now merging across assessments and including question-level metadata

use the generalized (and now built-in) data query mechanism for downloading "merged" data.

adjust xpaths to match changes to edml/qti output by FirstMorpho

add support for selecting records for only one question from a set of one or more assessment response data files

add CSV download as an option for retrieving datasets.
NOTE: depends on opencsv jar in the /first project...

add ability to retrieve response data using datamanager lib (note that this requires both the datamanager.jar and firstMetacatIntegration.jar from /eml and /first modules respectively...)
yes, this is more ajax...and still mostly Proof Of Concept-ish

get the ajax-specific first skins organized with some better naming.
these essentially provide a pointer to custom resultset style sheets so that we can just use Ajax.Updater from prototype and inject the returned html.
they do rely on the first skin (which makes it nice for changing the look and feel - not a bunch of css files lying around messing things up, etc...).
