GlamED -- Galleries Libriaries Archives Museums Editor

This software is designed to manage digital cultural collections through a graphical interface. More specifically, a digital library collection developed in Greenstone can be exported to Expeditee frames. From there these frames can be edited including changing metadata values and page style/layout. These changes can then be sent back to Greenstone.

We had thought of naming this project G2E2G to emphasise this roundtrip ability between Greenstone and Expeditee, but while a good functional description of what it does and doesn't convey much information unless you already know what the "G" and the "E" are referring to.

COMPILING GlamED

1. Compile Greenstone3: 
	> cd GlamED-svn
	> cd greenstone3-svn
	> ant prepare
	> ant install
	
		Note: You will need 'svn' command line, 'ant', 'perl' and 'java'.
		
		Our PATH environment variable was set to: 
		
		"C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin;C:\strawberry\c\bin;C:\strawberry\perl\site\bin;C:\strawberry\perl\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_09\bin;C:\apache-ant-1.8.4\bin"
		
	BEFORE running 'ant install':
		
		Set JAVA_HOME appropriately.

		Make sure the Visual Studio compiling environment is set up:
				
			cd into your Visual Studio directory
				> cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0
			cd into the '\VC\bin' directory:
				> cd VC\bin
			run the vcvars32 batch file:
				> vcvars.bat
				
	
	Optionally, test that Greenstone3 has installed successfully.
		
		> gs3-setup.bat
		> ant start
		
		Open your web browser and go to: http://localhost:8383/greenstone3/library
	
				
2. Compile Expeditee
			
	Open Expeditee (expeditee-svn) in Eclipse and  build from there. In Eclipse:
	
		> Go to File -> New -> Java Project.
		> In the 'Project Name:' textbox, enter 'expeditee-svn'.
		> Make sure that the 'Use Default Location' checkbox is NOT checked.
		> Click on the 'Browse' button next to the 'Location' textbox and select the 'expeditee-svn' directory located within the 'GlamED' directory.
		> Click on the 'Finish' button.

		NOTE: Do NOT use the 'Import...' option in Eclipse's 'File' menu as this will import Expeditee into your workspace.
		
		Expeditee is now ready to compile.
		
		GlamED requires a jar file of the Expeditee code to operate:
		
			> cd expeditee-svn\makeFiles
			> jar cvfm ..\\releases\\jars\\expeditee.jar Manifest.txt -C ..\\bin\\src org
			

3. Check out the 'html-to-expeditee' Greenstone extension:

	> cd C:\Users\peijones\GlamED-svn\greenstone3-svn\ext
	> svn co http://svn.greenstone.org/gs3-extensions/html-to-expeditee/trunk/src html-to-expeditee
	
	Run ./INSTALL-FOR-GREENSTONE3.sh
	(If on Windows, install Cygwin first).
	
	To test that this extension is running:
	
		Navigate to: http://localhost:8383/greenstone3/cgi-bin/html-to-expeditee.pl?site=localsite

		
4. Compile GlamED

	Open GlamED in Eclipse (follow instructions in Step 2)
	
	If a dialogue box appears asking you to select a class to run, select "Main (org.honours.Main)".
	
	Click on "Manage Collections" and add an "Import Collections" action on to the frame. 
		Type "ImportCollection" (no space) and then press "Ctrl + A"
