Meeting 2/26 

We've noted bugs and reported them in the bug tracking system. Some can be worked on this week, others may be something for future developers to consider.

We will meet with the LEAM group to discuss the user study on FRIDAY, MARCH 7th, at 1:00pm.

We need to:
- Place User Manual online in the Plone site.
- Add instructions on how to change a map template and edit a map
- Document setting up our products and themes when installing Plone
- Check code into subversion
- Get more maps on the page (?)
- Jeff would like us to research KSS (AJAX framework) as a solution for opening subfolders. This will probably not be something we can use now, but we may want to look into it so we can recommend it to future developers. See: kssproject.org

Meeting Notes 2/19 

Things to do (potentially)
- setting zoom value in SimMapFolder and SimMap objects
- test legend with non-change map
- clean up naming conventions in code
- default allow comments for SimMap objects
- look for a solution to close SimMapFolders dynamically without refreshing page
- editing the text of mapfile through the web, is there an existing plone product?
- check code into subversion

Questions for User Testing Survey
- What transparency is best?
- Should there be labels for each legend image by layer?

Edit SimMap Fixed 

During the meeting this evening we found that we were unable to edit an existing map. This was because of a typo in the SimMap product which is now fixed.

Gentlemen, we now have a legend! 

The legend has been created and is now dynamic. It should be fully working, so be sure to submit bugs if you find them.

SimMap and SimMapFolder Content Types 

I worked on the website a lot this weekend, because I realized that this is actually one of the few slow points I have coming up. I wanted to make sure that I got my three development goals finished on schedule.

Here are the improvements I made:
1) There is now a SimMap content type. This content type requires a TIF file and .map file to be uploaded. It then translates this information, and displays the Google Maps interface we are used to.

2) I also created a SimMapFolder content type. This type requires a Latitude and Longitude value. It then acts as a folder, only when you click to view the folder it displays a blank Google Map centered on the specified location.

3) Finally, I created a SimMapNav portlet. This portlet essentially copies the standard navigation portlet, and creates the checkboxes for SimMap content types. However, there appears to be a bug in the implementation of the the way Plone 3 renders portlets, so this ends up changing the functionality of the standard navigation portlet. I can explain this in more detail at our meeting.

I also ran across a simple plone portlet to add static text. This should allow us to implement the legend display we talked about last meeting.
