Redmine Bug #4695 (Resolved): CSS doesn't work on mac installer versionhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/46952010-01-25T21:45:28ZJing Taotao@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>The morpho metadata display loses color on mac installer version. Howerver, it works on windows and linux installer. The morpho built from svn on mac works too.</p> Bug #4692 (Resolved): Morpho cannot open EML docs with <?xml-stylesheet> directivehttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/46922010-01-22T18:22:10Zben leinfelderleinfelder@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>SBC and MCR LTER sites are including <?xml-stylesheet> directives in their EML docs. This is valid XML, but Morpho was expecting the document root/schema def/doctype to be on the second line of the XML (not the 3rd or fourth or fifth...).<br />With this error, the documents could not be opened in Morpho at all (symptom: <a class="external" href="http://bugzilla.ecoinformatics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3482">http://bugzilla.ecoinformatics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3482</a>)</p> Bug #4687 (Resolved): Morpho logs password in plaintexthttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/46872010-01-21T20:50:38Zben leinfelderleinfelder@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>from Gastil:<br />Morpho logs my password in plain text in the stderr.log file when there is a login error.<br />Call me paranoid, but this seems inappropriate and makes me feel uncomfortable.</p> Bug #4678 (Resolved): Modify the documentation for 1.8 releasehttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/46782010-01-15T20:18:16ZJing Taotao@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>I will draft a new version of user manual.</p> Bug #4677 (Resolved): Windows 7 installer/testinghttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/46772010-01-15T20:13:17Zben leinfelderleinfelder@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>Make sure Morpho installs and runs on Windows 7</p> Bug #4661 (Resolved): table 'worksheet' display not updated after table deletedhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/46612010-01-12T21:43:14ZMargaret O'Brienmob@msi.ucsb.edu
<p>a user wanted to replace a dataTable in a package. She chose 'Data->delete data table'. The data table disappeared, and she added uploaded a new table and a created a new set of attribute descriptions. So far, this is as expected.</p>
<p>However, when she finished the attribute descriptions, and Morpho displayed the table, it displayed the old attribute descriptions in the 'worksheet' pane. When she clicked on an attribute, the new attribute description was displayed on the right (alongside the old table). When she closed the data package and reopened, the new data table was there, so it seems to be just a worksheet display issue.</p>
<p>The EML docids are cdonahue.26.2 (old table, to be deleted) and cdonahue.26.3 (new table)</p> Bug #4657 (Resolved): morpho creates <keyword> elements out of keywordType attribute contenthttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/46572010-01-08T22:13:18ZMargaret O'Brienmob@msi.ucsb.edu
<p>the <keyword> element has an optional attribute keywordType, as in this snippet from knb-lter-sbc.17.12</p>
<p><keywordSet><br /> <keyword keywordType="theme">Santa Barbara Coastal</keyword><br /> <keyword keywordType="theme">LTER</keyword><br /></keywordSet></p>
<p>EML created by Morpho does not include this attribute, but when Morpho encounters one, it takes the attribute content and moves it to a keyword element, yielding a node like this (knb-lter-sbc.17.13):<br /><keywordSet><br /> <keyword>theme</keyword><br /> <keyword>Santa Barbara Coastal</keyword><br /> <keyword>theme</keyword><br /> <keyword>LTER</keyword><br /></keywordSet></p>
<p>So now we have extra erroneous keywords, and no keywordType attributes. <br />Morpho seems to do this as soon as it reads the EML in, since the extra keywords show up immediately.</p>
<p>Note: this data set is still EML201, and so was was edited with Morpho 1.6.1. I confirmed the behavior with Morpho 1.7 and a local test dataset.</p> Bug #4543 (Resolved): export to FGDC BDP formathttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/45432009-11-12T20:09:19ZMatt Jonesjones@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>Include a 'format' dropdown in the Export dialog that allows people to choose the 'FGDC BDP' format as an export choice. The set of export formats should be configurable at runtime, and should allow for a mapping between the format name and an XSLT script used to generate that format from the EML document.</p> Bug #2443 (Resolved): Dialog box needed to warn when deleting data tablehttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/24432006-05-24T01:01:21ZCallie Bowdishbowdish@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>There is no "Delete" dialog box for data tables. When the request to "Delete Current Data Table" is given no dialog box comes up. The table is deleted.</p>
<p>We need something similar to the Delete the Morpho Data Package dialog box.<br />When a request to Delete (through the File menu) is given a "Delete" dialog box comes up. It says, "Are you sure you want to delete the data package? If yes, please choose one option and click the Delete button." The options adjust depending on the state of the file being deleted. If it has never been saved, all of the options are gray for instance.</p>
<p>If the data table is deleted through a menu request, the only way to recover the data table is to close the data package without saving the changes. In some cases, the data packaged has never been saved. This recovery will not work in that case. If many changes have been made and not saved, all of them will be lost.</p>
<p>In order to protect the user from the wrong choice on the menu a dialog box should come up. This way the user can confirm that they want to delete the table. In some cases where there are more than one table. It would be good to have the name of the table that will be deleted named in the dialog box.</p>
<hr />
<p>Regarding "Delete Selected Row" and "Delete Selected Column" <br />In most cases I was able to use the "Revert Entity to Saved Version" and the "Revert All Entities to Saved Version" choices, in the Edit menu, after deleting columns and Rows.</p>
<p>When only the table attributes are listed, but no actual data table, is available, the columns cannot be recovered. A table that brings up the following dialog box when it is first opened in Morpho tests this case. The dialog box titled, “Warning!†says, "Unable to display this data. However, an empty table with the column header information will be shown...". There is no revert option for this kind of column and header information.</p>
<p>I am uncertain about the usefulness of the dialog box for deleting selected rows and columns. The edit menu is able to undo this. I do not think it is a standard practice to warn with a dialog box when editing a row or column.</p>
<hr />
<p>I think it is important to have the dialog box come up when deleting data tables in Morpho.</p> Bug #2284 (Resolved): Data tables not uploaded to networkhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/22842005-11-22T23:35:13ZVeronique Connollyconnolly@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>I saved a dp named connolly.258.1 to the knb metacat. This dp contains two data<br />tables: ecogrid://knb/connolly.261.1 and ecogrid://knb/connolly.262.1.</p>
<p>When I searched for that dp in Morpho and opened it, I got an error message saying <br />"Exception opening file!". When I clicked OK for this message, I got another<br />dialog box saying the following:</p>
<p>"Unable to display this data. However, an empty table with the column header<br />information will be shown. Data is referenced by the URL<br />ecogrid://knb/connolly.261.1"</p>
<p>I got the same kinds of messages when trying to display<br />ecogrid://knb/connolly.262.1.</p> Bug #2280 (Resolved): methodStep creation errorhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/22802005-11-17T20:58:59ZJames Bruntjbrunt@lternet.edu
<p>When creating the method step in the ingestion wizard - you enter a title and<br />description - this creates a section, title, and paragraph. But there is a<br />paragraph required after methodStep that doesn't get filled in. Then if you try<br />to edit that empty field can't be deleted or trimmed.</p> Bug #1847 (Resolved): import EML documents into Morphohttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/18472004-12-21T18:03:48ZVeronique Connollyconnolly@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>We need to implement a feature that allows the import of EML documents and<br />tabular data associated with these documents. The import step would include<br />validation to ensure that the document is a valid EML document. The docid of the<br />imported document would be compared to the docids of local data packages. If a<br />similar docid is found, Morpho would ask whether the user wants to create a<br />revision of the existing dp or create a new dp. If no similar docid is found,<br />Morpho would automatically create a new dp (with a new docid).</p>
<p>This import feature would allow importing documents that have been created by<br />the current Export feature of Morpho. Currently, there is not a straightforward<br />way of opening in Morpho a data package created by the Export command (see bug<br />1793). When using the Export command, the document created should be saved in a<br />place where it will easily be retrieved when using the import feature.</p>
<p>On top of allowing the import of existing EML documents, the import feature<br />would allow users to have a "template" dp from which they would create new dps<br />that usually differ only slighty in their format. This would lessen the burden<br />of creating new dps from scratch.</p> Bug #1831 (Resolved): "other" organization field does not workhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/18312004-12-15T18:20:59ZChad Berkleyberkley@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>if you put an organization name in the "other" field in the new user wizard,<br />morpho does not actually use the name you fill in, instead it uses whatever is<br />selected in the list box. the desired functionality is that when you click in<br />the other field, the list box selection should be cleared and morpho should use<br />the user entered org name.</p> Bug #1771 (Resolved): Deleting row of taxonomic info in DPW prevents selection of other rows,https://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/17712004-11-19T00:26:00ZAndrea Andreachadden@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>In the top portion of the taxonomic coverage screen in the DPW, if you add a <br />few rows of information, and then delete the bottom row, the other rows become <br />unselectable, and the DELETE and EDIT buttons disappear.</p>
<p>This bug was discovered by Veronique.</p> Bug #1211 (Resolved): add serialization to steps in DataPackage Wizardhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/12112003-11-17T20:50:18ZDan Higginshiggins@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>There are potentially many steps in the DataPackage wizard, expecially when one<br />is entering matadata for a table with many columns. There should be some<br />automatic mechanism for serializing the data already entered in case of some<br />failure before a new package is saved. Serializing the<br />DataPackage/TextImportWizard as each screen (or column) is changed seems like a<br />usful approach that should be implemented.</p>
