VuFind Developers Call Minutes: March 6, 2012
Attending:
Agenda
1. New/Updated JIRA Tickets
2. VuFind 2.0 Update
Chris has done significant work on the blueprint theme to eliminate problems caused by strange record IDs being used to generate HTML element IDs. Now the AJAX code uses more stable mechanisms for passing values around.
Demian has finished implementing the cart in 2.0. All bulk actions are functional, and the code is a lot simpler than in 1.x – also more flexible, since you can mix and match records from all of the modules.
Some new documentation has been written – see Connecting a New External Data Source (subject to change as Demian tests its accuracy while implementing the Summon module) and Data Model / Key Concepts.
Chris is now working on porting the Browse module. He's planning on implementing a non-Javascript version of the code in order to resolve VUFIND-298 and simplify some of the current confusing logic.
3. ILS Driver Settings in Index
Luke suggested that it might make sense to control ILS driver loading from a field in the Solr index rather than through config.ini. This way, multiple ILSes can be more easily supported, and records that are not linked to an ILS can be handled more appropriately. We should consider adopting this approach in VuFind 2.0.
4. New Mobile Theme
5. VuFind Developers Summit 2012
6. Next Call Time: 10am vs. 11am Eastern
