Yesterday I made it work

Today I make it pretty.

Disabling full Scholar full HTML page logging

Removed the extra logging that I added in previous days again. If I ever turn this on again, I have to find a way to log something a little bit more specific than logging the entire HTML response, including all of the javascript that Scholar returns.

Colour coding item titles on repository homepage

Before, all items were just rendered the same way on the repository analysis page. I have added color coding to the items that were not found in scholar show up in red.

I also added a file icon that shows in red when the full text is missing, and in green when the full text was correctly found.

Refresh results for item - clarify behaviour

Yesterday I introduced the ability for repository managers to manually switch the metadata and full text presence to found, after they’ve done a manual verification.

However, the “Refresh Results” action is currently overriding this. Hoping that I can ever fix the automated verification on Google Scholar, I will keep this in place, but I will rename the button to “reset results”.

Day 77 Plan

Switch back to DSpace 7 Angular.

Ask my colleagues for assistance to access the assets and hopefully get a successful test run in place for the DSpace 7 Angular language switch.

Future days - DSpace 7 Angular

• Investigate writing of tests and write tests for the original language switch.
• Continue with implementing the actions and the reducer for the language switch.
• Continue implementation of the action to deactivate a language.
• Build a feature where users can customize their own language tags, straight from the UI, by switching on some kind of “translator” mode, to do these changes at runtime
• UI for exporting their customized messages
• UI for enabling/disabling particular languages
• Learn how to write tests and write them for the language functionality
• Angular Universal tutorial based on Tour of Heroes
• Continue where I left off in ng-book

Future days - Analyzer.atmire.com work

• Change String based implementation of error message handling with types and objects, according to Antoine Snyers recent Atmire DevTalk.
• Change string based implementation of the different browse styles to an object, according to Antoine Snyers recent Atmire DevTalk
• Optimize my hideous methods for getItemcount and getRepoCount.
• Re-test the check if we return the right repository to a user who tries to add a new one
• Updating a repository: touch/change the base URL or not?
• Batch ingest: switch to newer add repository methods.
• WCAG testing against the start page to ensure it’s accessible for people who rely on assistive tools.
• Transition from plain CSS to SASS to make it prettier and learn about SASS at the same time
• Instead of the 5 minute cron job, look into a gitlab webhook that executes the update script on prod whever something is committed to master.
