Some small bug fixes...

New functions in the dataset registry to support moderation feature needed for ESA

Modified the login method in the perl metacat client so that status of the user logging is also returned
Earlier if login info was not valid, 0 was returned. And 1 is sent back if login info was valid.

Now, if valid then following values are returned to indicate user status...

Removed unused subroutines that were for testing.

Adding the control-services.pl utility for failover montitoring. From
the README:

This program is designed to run as a script under the Hobbit system
monitoring program (http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/). When Hobbit is
configured properly, this script will be called to make changes to the...

If skin cfg specified access rights to be included for a certain set of users and groups, then those are entered in the access permissions given.

Fix for bug 2220. And check the cfg file if the eml documents generated should be publically readable or not.

Added a function to strip out the whitespace that was around the bounding
coordinates retrieved from metacat, and also now writing the full set of
bounding coordiantes (east,west,south,north).

bug fix so that error is displayed if station or reserve is not selected

Added code to enter publication date into the dataset.

Fix for 2214. Allow 0 in coordinates now.

Fix for bug 2215. Error message is displayed if project name is not selected in the nceas skin.

Fixed a typo.

Changed the headers.

Filed used my the Metacat Spatial Option. Generally these files represent
the portion of the spatial option that harvests spatial elements from a
Metacat, and stores the elements as a shapefile on the file system. This
option, at this point, is pretty much independent of the metacat application....

The template for displaying the error is not executed when passwords are not same. Hence the user doesnt know what the error was. Fixed this.

Adding perl script for changing ldap password for an account.

Modified the code so that lastid file is created in a skin when lastid file is not found.
Commented out the code which uses AdminDB module and uncommented the test function.

Replaced Usage Constraints with Usage Rights and Data Originator with Dataset Owner.

(Commit done by Saurabh Garg for Veronique)

Changes made in the css for the skins.

Fixed some bugs from previous commits. Veronique changes the text of error messages. Added a new stage to distinguish errors because of logins.

Added new actions so that error message is not shown the first time resetPassword and changePasswords are called. Also fixed a bug where $cfg was not being passed to genericHeader.tmpl

Changed the code which handles Associated Party, Keywords and Taxonomic Information.

Fix for bug# 1344

Added code to fix bug 1323. % sign is replaced by its http equivalent now

Added code to fix bug# 1344. Response template is called when cancel delete is pressed.

Integrating ldapweb.cgi & create-ldap-account.pl into metacat CVS tree.

Fixed bug #1551 by adding a conditional statement.

Made changes to fix bug# 1310. Now while parsing old documents, the script checks for ACLs also.

Fixed a bug in creation of EML documents when coordinates from the site_list have to be used.

Modifications to the registry to support the new ESA skin. Factored out some of
the configuration-specific code into properties that are set in the various
cfg files in the skins. New properties in the cfg files are lsite, usite,
showSiteList, showWgList, showOrganization. These now need to be set in every skin...

Changed path for eml xsd stylesheet

Made change in the registry so that new documents produced are of eml-2.0.1 standard.
Also made changes in create-registry folder

Adding a new perl script. Running this script creates a new skin.

Fixed bug# 1309. Also put a regex check on ending year and beginning year.

Made changes to fix bug # 1365.

Made changes to fix bug# 1303 and 1367.(Both are related)
Following variables can now be specifieD from the cfg file to control behaviour of the skin: hasKeyword, hasMethod, hasSpatial, hasTaxonomic and hasTemporal. Following two also can be used: spatialRequired and temporalRequired

Made changes to fix bug# 1303 and 1367.(Both are related) - corresponding changes need to be made in tmpl file and testing needs to be done before bugs can be closed.

Made changes to fix 1301. Works fine with eml2 - need to check if works with emlbeta6.

Made changes to control whether a skin wants to use keywords or not. Keywords probably will be used by all skins alsways. But similar changes can be made for Geographic Coverage or Temporal COverage to control whether a particular section of the insert data template needs to be shown or not. This can be controlled from .cfg file. For example, in nceas.cfg is you define hasKeyword = false, none of the templates will show the keyword part. (Unless, you are using NCEAS skin and you try to modify a document which already has keywords.)

Removed beta6 specific code which is no longer being used.

Removed repetition of code. Also fixed the link to the modified file submitted from responseTemplate

Perl script for transfering documents from one metacat to another metacat. list_of_docids contains list of names of the documents that will be transfered.

Fixed a bug which doesn't occur everytime. The bug occurs when lastid in (cfg).lastid is not unique. i.e. there is already a document in the server which has same docid. The earlier algorithm was:

while(not unique){
get accession number;
update accession number written in document; (BUG)...

Added extra parameters (cfg & docid) to be passed on to generic response screen.

made changes so that organization name for the site or project is entered before
any other creater.

fixed a bug in reloading of kewords from an eml file for edit-datapackage form.

Minor changes to allow the registry to work in the knb skin, mainly in
how to treat the 'site' field. Now it is a free-text organization
field in the KNB skin. Need to test, install this on ecoinfo and link it
into the KNB web pages.

Added subroutine for replacing characters that might create problem in HTML.
Specifically written for "being used in any text field. This create a
problem in confirmData template, when you specify input name value pair with value
having a " in it.

Made changes so that & and other characters dont mess up the url that is passed to metacat.

Mixed a bug reported by Rick and Dan. The form inserted a organizationName tag with no value. This happened only in NCEAS as the tag was included from the drop down site list which doesnot exsist in NCEAS version. Hence, a empty tag was inserted in the eml document.

Bug 1301 - changes made for a repeatable add keyword button

Made changes to fix bug# 1326. The templateVar are now passed on to the responseTemplate also in case of error - so that it can show a link which will send all the values back to register-dataset.

Did editing to support changes mentioned in bug 1295

Fixed hardcoded admin account so that it works with more than just OBFS
Registry.

Fixed registry bug involving a string comparison (used numeric
equality instead of string equality).

Removed unneeded Net::LDAP dependency. Now all authentication occurs
indirectly through Metacat.

Added skin for the UCNRS data registry based on earlier work. Minor
modifications to the templates to accomodate this. Fixed a validation
bug in the register-dataset.cgi, and removed an unnecessary Net::LDAP
login as well because the authentication is handled by metacat.

Fixed validation check for samplingDescription.

Changes to re-enable the nceas admindb access for the production install.

Removed some debugging test code that isn't needed.

Added studyExtent and samplingDescription fields to the registry to accomodate
Sandy's request for a temporalDescription field. This is a little more than
she wanted, but it was needed to satisfy EML minimum requirements.

Added taxonomic coverage and authority fields, and fixed a bug in reentry
with the methods fields. Now we are collecting information on all of the
additional fields Sandy requested except for a general temporal description,
which doesn't fit neatly in EML. Will need to consider how to accomodate...

Added the ability to describe taxonomicCoverage to the registry. This
allows an arbitrary number of species or other taxa to be listed, and the
editing form can dynamically grow through a simple javascript approach
(also used in Methods). Need to test thoroughly, and need to test on...

Added geographic description to the fields of data collected, as it is
a required field and was being improperly defaulted to an empty string in the
XML document. This is a new field for all registries.

Modifications to add "Methods" collection to the data registry, and to
make the forms HTML 4.0.1 valid (in an attempt to figure out some of
the rendering and layout oddities I'm seeing).

New formatting and text for the NCEAS data registry.

Further changes to the registry scripts to support the NCEAS registry
with access to the project list fromthe admindb. Also, fixed a bug with
the script where creators were getting duplicated in the editing process
accidentally.

Modifications that allow working group entries to be put in as creators, and
a whole bunch of re-formatting for horribly formatted code that I need to
read to finish this thing up.

Updated registry further for NCEAS-specific needs. Confirm data template
now handles new wg field. Still need to write WG metadata into EML document.

Additional work on the NCEAS/AdminDB integration. Working Groups now
presented as a dropdown box for multiple selection. Need to write the
info to the XML file now and handle it in confirmation template.

Preliminary changes to support the NCEAS data registry connection to the
AdminDB to retrieve project lists.

Updates that allow registry script to update the lastid field more efficiently
by calling the metacat 'getlastdocid' function for a given scope. Also some
debugging support added, and a bug where the error message was inproperly
saved across calls to metacat, resulting in spurious error messages.

Added new function "getLastId" to the Metacat.pm perl Metacat client. Returns
the hisghest docid in use in a given scope.

Remove email notification from registry script.

This is the merge from the branch WEB_UI_REDESIGN_BRANCH back into the head.
The only files that have been removed are those in lib/style/eml2; other files
that have been cvs removed (only from lib/ and lib/style) have been re-added
elsewhere (i.e. moved from one directory to another)....
