[Xerte-dev] Re: google doc + page type order

Mon May 28 16:53:46 BST 2012

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here, and I've spent all afternoon trying to figure it out: this approach, building an array of ovbjects first,t then sorting them, then looping over it to drive the menu building more or less works, but a few items don't appear in a-z order, and I have no idea why not.               I've checked the code in for now, take a look by all means, but I'll have another look tomorrow,

var sortArray = new Array();
       for (var i in wizard.nfoObject.wizard[nodeType].newNodes[0]){

              if (wizard.nfoObject.wizard[i].menuItem != undefined){
                     sortArray.push(i);
              }
       }
       sortArray.sortOn('menuItem' );

       for (var n = 0; n < sortArray.length; n++){

              i = sortArray[n];

       //for (var i in wizard.nfoObject.wizard[nodeType].newNodes){
              if (wizard.nfoObject.wizard[i].menu != undefined){
                     insertMenu[wizard.nfoObject.wizard[i].menu].addMenuItem({label:wizard.nfoObject.wizard[i].menuItem != undefined ? wizard.nfoObject.wizard[i].menuItem : i, icon:wizard.nfoObject.wizard[i].icon, data: i, thumb: wizard.nfoObject.wizard[i].thumb, hint: wizard.nfoObject.wizard[i].hint});
              } else {
                     insertMenu.addMenuItem({label:wizard.nfoObject.wizard[i].menuItem != undefined ? wizard.nfoObject.wizard[i].menuItem : i, icon:wizard.nfoObject.wizard[i].icon, data: i, thumb: wizard.nfoObject.wizard[i].thumb, hint: wizard.nfoObject.wizard[i].hint});
              }
       }

I don't do that, you did in the wizard (at least that's how I understand the code, makeInsertMenu(nodeType)) or am I looking in the wrong place? I didn't touch that code.

You're building it off the order of the nodes in the xwd?

I don't know either, but they do come out reversed.

I thought I did that (or at least in the order of the newNodes, which strictly speaking is not alphabetical but close (the name of the xwd is not the name of the menu)

However, even doing that, the meu comes out in reverse order, and I like to understand why before fixing things.

The insert menu is fine like that, can we sort the child menus to be A-Z?

The page order is determined by the order in which the newNodes appear in the data.xwd (template.xwd). The builder (at the moment) does that in the order it encounters the files on disk. I tried to order on the xwds but somehow the menu is still not ordered the way I would expect.

Not sure what to do about it.

And yes the builder is ready, we use it all the time.

Hi all
a quick update re the issues listed in the Google doc

Jonathan - thanks for updating the Google doc. I've moved all the issues that you've indicated as closed to the fixed sheet. I know you've committed some updated files to the Xerte svn so I assume you'll be updating the XOT svn with the same files at some point? I'll watch the rss feed for any updates and update the test install when those updates are notified by the feed.

All -  at the moment there are 4 issues remaining in the tests and issues sheet. I think most of these are minor but can't recall if we've discussed the order of page types in each category and if there's a change needed? e.g. at the moment the order of page types within each category doesn't appear to be alphabetical or in the same order as previous versions. I seem to recall the consensus was that the category order is fine now e.g. Text then Media then Navigators etc but for instance at the moment the media category looks like this:
[cid:image001.jpg at 01CD3CF2.72C7EEB0]
Which doesn't appear to be alphabetical but can it be?

Also a related question for Tom I guess - is your xwd builder code ready for this release? Would be great to test that and I think would be especially useful if we can document how admins might add or remove page types and then re-run the builder direct in XOT.

Cheers
Ron
