Redmine Bug #6042 (New): Cannot save/synchronize Morpho data package to the networkhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/60422013-08-01T01:55:54Zunset unsetkmwolf@ucdavis.edu
<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>I have saved a data package and completed all fields. I have tried saving it to the network (while logged in), and synchronizing, and both give me multiple errors, starting with this one:</p>
<p>Some problem with saving data files has occurred! <?xml version = "1.0"?> <error> Permission denied for upload </error></p>
<p>I am sure this is some simple thing that I am not understanding as a new user, but I would certainly appreciate some guidance. Thanks!</p> Bug #5779 (In Progress): Owners list reorders its entrieshttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/57792013-01-14T23:28:04Zben leinfelderleinfelder@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>When 4 or more parties are listed in the Owners wizard page, they reorder themselves when you click 'Ok'.<br />It seems to cycle through putting the last entry first, each time you open then dismiss the window with an Ok.</p> Bug #5706 (New): Menu bar font color in Ubuntu difficult to readhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/57062012-09-06T22:06:59Zben leinfelderleinfelder@nceas.ucsb.edu

<p>When a user needs to edit the documentation of several columns in one sitting, it is tedious to have to open and close the Edit Column Documentation dialog separately for each column. This often takes more time than the actual edit itself. This could be solved by adding "prev" and "next" buttons for moving back and forth across columns (and making multiple edits) within a single instance of the Edit Column Documentation dialog.</p>
<p>Note that the Import Data table wizard already has buttons to go back and forth across columns, albeit with extra things at the beginning and end of the wizard.</p> Bug #4624 (New): local/network status icons sometimes (inconsistently) incorrecthttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/46242009-12-11T01:44:18ZOliver Soongsoong@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>A package that only exists remotely gets a network icon but no local icon. After a sync from remote->local, some packages get a local icon but no network icon. If I delete the local copy and close and re-open the package listing (forcing refresh), I see the correct network-only status icon. What's really odd is this happens inconsistently. It will happen to a package.revision consistently, but it may not happen to package.revision+1 or to a different package.</p> Bug #4542 (New): Feature Request: Import / update metadata from MySQL databasehttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/45422009-11-11T22:05:02ZDavid LeBauerdlebauer@gmail.com
<p>I am writing to request a feature for Morpho that would facilitate creating and updating metadata from an existing database. I am using MySQL, but I imagine that the feature could be more general.</p>
<p>I would like for it to:</p>
<p>a) query a database to generate relevant metadata <br />or <br />b) generate metadata from an SQL CREATE script</p>
<p>For each table<br /> give table name to entityName<br /> Add comments to Description<br /> Make list of attributeNames from column headers<br />For each attributeName<br /> entityName: is column name<br /> attributeDefinition: state if it is a primary key or foreign key, if foreign key, write foreign key and the name of referenced table<br /> storageType derived from datatype<br /> managementScale/unit/numericDomain/range etc. should be derived from datatype (and data if connected to database)</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>-David</p> Bug #4461 (New): delete local copy only deletes the most recent stored revision, but this is not ...https://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/44612009-10-15T18:48:02ZOliver Soongsoong@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>When deleting a package in the package listing, the current behavior is to delete only the most recent stored copy. However, it just says "Delete". This is particularly confusing when compounded with the fact that after deleting, the entry disappears from the package listing entirely even though earlier copies exist. Only after closing the package listing and reopening it can the user see the previous revision.</p>
<p>A relatively simple fix would be to change Delete to Delete Most Recent Copy. It might also help for users who do want to get rid of an entire package to have a Delete Package entry. It might also help to have the package list refresh after the delete.</p> Bug #2216 (New): Custom units not assigned to unit type category properlyhttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/22162005-09-30T19:47:27ZWill Tyburczytyburczy@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>If you create a custom unit that belongs to an existing unit type that contains<br />a space in the name ("Areal Mass Density", "Catalytic Activity", etc) the unit<br />does not subsequently get displayed as a member of that unit type in the NDTW.<br />Instead, when you try to select the unit again for another attribute, it is<br />listed as a unit in a separate unit type ("Arealmassdensity" instead of "Areal<br />Mass Density"). I think it's just a display issue, as the unit is listed in the<br />proper unit type if the DP is closed and re-opened.</p> Bug #2199 (New): Info in additionalMedata tags not displayed when viewing data packagehttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/21992005-09-16T20:12:06ZWill Tyburczytyburczy@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>When viewing a data package, the information inside "AdditionalMetadata" tags is<br />not displayed in the metadata.</p> Bug #1983 (New): allow morpho to detect online data and import ithttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/19832005-02-18T01:42:19ZMatt Jonesjones@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>In several situations (such as Bug# 1982) an EML description might have a URL<br />pointing at an actual data file that is referenced in the top level EML<br />distribution section. When this occurs, Morpho should be able to import the<br />data from the URL, asking for the entity and attribute metadata, and move the<br />distribution reference to the entity distribution section.</p>
<p>If the data are stored in Metacat, then they need not be uploaded again, but<br />rather a simple reference to the Metacat id needs to be made to associate the<br />new metadata with the existing data.</p>
<p>If the data are at some other online URL, the data may need to be stored in<br />metacat (but only after the user has confirmed the operation).</p> Bug #1667 (New): Couldn't send data file to metacat using a download packagehttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/16672004-09-02T01:26:33ZJing Taotao@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>When I use morpho to copy a eml2 package from metacat1 to metacat2 and found<br />this problem.</p>
<p>I have a eml2 document - jones.1.3 which has a online data jones.2.1(use ecogrid<br />protocol). I want copy it from metacat1 to metact2(both eml document and data<br />file). First, I used morpho to point to metacat1 and used synchronize function<br />to download it. I got both jones.1.3 (eml document) and jones.2.1(data file).</p>
<p>Then I changed morpho to point metacat2. No matter I used save or synchronize<br />function, I only can upload jones.1.3(eml document) to metacat2. But I couldn't<br />upload jones.2.1 even it use ecogrid protocol in url.</p>
<p>If we can both upload eml doucment and data file(use ecogrid protocol) to<br />metacat, it will be better.</p> Bug #1569 (New): Local save doesnt work sometimes.https://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/15692004-05-17T23:06:30ZSaurabh Gargsgarg@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>This was reported by Nicole Kaplan <<a class="email" href="mailto:nicole.kaplan@colostate.edu">nicole.kaplan@colostate.edu</a>></p>
<p>Nicole's comments:<br />The "local" save for data packages does not always work and unless you<br />also saved to network too, your changes are lost. It is unclear what causes<br />this, but if it doesn't save it the first time locally, it never is able it<br />save it on subsequent edits.</p>
<p>My Comments:<br />If this is happening then it might be a bug. Though, I am not able to reproduce <br />it. <br />Maybe the document is just not showing up in the open/search box for some <br />reason. How do you figure out that the document has been saved locally. Is an <br />ID specified on top of the window that opens up after you save a datapackage?</p>
<p>Also it might be because of some kind of text that you are trying to enter that <br />is messing up the save - like pasting the text from Microsoft files.</p> Bug #1568 (New): Certain dialogues in DPW lock up the helphttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/15682004-05-17T22:44:10ZSaurabh Gargsgarg@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>This was reported by Nicole Kaplan <<a class="email" href="mailto:nicole.kaplan@colostate.edu">nicole.kaplan@colostate.edu</a>></p>
<p>These dialogues are the child windows of DPW which are called from buttons like <br />Add, Edit etc. Help window should probably be made independent of all the other <br />windows in Morpho.</p> Bug #1559 (New): Morpho 1.5.1 Help: 5 problems with search featurehttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/15592004-05-12T19:52:50ZAndrea Andreachadden@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>1. When I do a search for “User Guide” using the Search feature within Morpho <br />help, pages from the old version of the user guide come up in the search <br />results (i.e. older files in CVS that have been updated). Only the most <br />current pages of the user guide should show up in the search.</p>
<p>2. When searching in Morpho Help, a few things are unclear about the search <br />results. It is unclear what the numbering in the search results is for (there <br />is a 10, 3, 2, 5, 1 to the left of the search results). Also, there’s no <br />explanation of the red ball symbology that appears to the left of the search <br />results.</p>
<p>3. In the search feature within Morpho Help, when I type in “user guide” (or <br />user+guide), results appear that highlight only the word “user”, when I only <br />want pages where the entire phrase “user guide” appears.</p>
<p>4. In the search feature within Morpho Help, almost all of the names of the <br />results are non-descript, and simply called “Knowledge Network for <br />Biocomplexity”. When there are 15 results with the same name it is frustrating <br />to have to click on each one until you find what you want, therefore the names <br />of the search results should be more descriptive.</p>
<p>5. In Morpho Help, after searching for a word or phrase (like “user guide”), <br />the words remain highlighted on certain page(s) in the user guide (long after <br />the search took place). There is no evident way (such as clicking on the <br />highlighted area) to deselect the phrase or word on a page.</p> Bug #1426 (In Progress): closing unsaved package does not close packagehttps://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/14262004-03-30T22:19:51ZChad Berkleyberkley@nceas.ucsb.edu
<p>if you have an unsaved package open and you close the window, morpho asks you <br />if you'd like to save the package. if you click yes, it saves the package but <br />forgets that your original request was to close the window and leaves it open.</p>
