[Xerte-dev] Re: 1.9 properties

I agree that none are really that great but they do easily allow 'normal' users to report things that they might be put off doing on the development list and also to keep track of who is working on a bug, how long its been open, even how to replicate it all in the one place and also pull a feed of all open bugs into the community so end users can see what problems otherpeople are seeing and can feed back whether its a trunk problem or an individual installation problem.

Needs guidelines though on its use...

I’m happy that we try to use one, but it’s going to mean everyone making the effort to use it (habit probably). This is growing pains I think: we’ve managed until now by just putting them on the list, but it’s going to get really hectic if we don’t put some order around things, a bit like the roadmap and the process we talked about for moving ideas through the development lifecycle from ‘proposed’ to ‘implemented’.

I never used one. Actually I did use one on a project for a while, Mantis, but it was so awful I never wanted to use another one, and even the project stopped using it after a while and reverted to a spreadsheet,

The only one I've really used is the drupal  one. Ok but tied to a drupal system. If community is using joomla then i suspect it will have one. The good thing about this is that you can easily feed info about bugs into the side columns of the pages, which draws attention to them and might make people look into them more, at least once the community site takes off.

Yeah I've bookmark those 2 links but i was thinking more along a separate one for xenith, since this rework will potentially have a lot of caveats to keep track of.

Sorry Fay, I know it's gonna be a lot more work but I think it will make all the difference.

In terms of what Julian says, most of the common stuff (Narration, etc) is in Xenith.js already so I think the models are as lean as they could be, only thing I think we will need in there other than what is already there is some code to manage JSONP requests since these will be the only way to get external data into xenith due to same domain policy. I've already found something that will give us a starting point there also, with some good further reading from Douglas Crockford (and others) who is a well-respected expert in all things javascript. Leave that bit to me though since I'm the main one pushing JSON just now.

Hi,

I'm just reading all these emails properly just now and I agree that something has to be done to protect scope. Fay has done a great job creating xenith and all these models and it's the quality of the codebase, how well the whole thing works and meeting all you guys that has made me want to get involved so heavily. But now i'm begining to see areas which could cause problems with scope. Especially now that I've created a few models that use JSONP requests. These work by Padding JSON objects inside a callback function and loading it straight into a <script> tag in the <head>, so all in global scope, as do all the model declarations...

But while each of the different ways you guys have mentioned of achieving this has their merits, I would definitely recommend that we consider the Yahoo JavaScript Module Pattern. This is used by many experienced JavaScript programmers and gives us private and public variables and methods. I would definitely recommend that any interested in developing the xenith code read a GREAT article about it here http://www.adequatelygood.com/2010/3/JavaScript-Module-Pattern-In-Depth

I think in for Xenith, this module pattern will allow us to do some great things:

Protect xenith variables and methods
Augmentation (Loose or Tight) to split up Xenith for manageability Sub-modules - this is where I see the page models sitting

So we'll have something like

var XENITH = (function (my) {
        // code and stuff here
}(XENITH));

Then the models are added like this

XENITH.summary = (function () {

}());

XENITH.table = (function () {

}());

XENITH.rss = (function () {

}());

etc.

Obviously it will be a lot of work to port Fay's code over and to be perfectly honest with you i've only used this a few times and NEVER on a project of this scale this but I definitely think it will benefit the project to do this early on because as more models are added and multiple pages of the same type are added to projects I anticipate there being conflicts that we might struggle to work around.

What does everyone thing? Have any of you seen this before?

I changed it so that all the main elements, variables, functions etc. that we don't want to be messed around with on accident by naming something the same in a page model now begin with 'x_'.  It looks like you've used this version in making these models so hopefully it didn't affect you too much.  I wouldn't have thought there'd be anything else big changing in the xenith.js file now that would mean changing all the model pages.

From talking to Johnathan who wrote the original Flash versions they all have some common functions in them (e.g. functions that find the page with the correct page id).  As the same code will be used in several page models then the best place for this is probably the xenith.js file so we're not repeating the same code in multiple page model files.  I'm happy for you to add anything in there that's needed.
