source: trunk/gsdl/docs/TODO@ 1036

configuration/installation:

    - iconcollection fields in collect.cfg are dependant on httpprefix

    - set up setup.bash/setup.bat etc during configuration (so GSDLHOME
      is full path and script can be run from anywhere)
    
    - autoconfigure/InstallShield to ask where cgi-bin directory is?

unix:

    - builddemo.sh and eveything in bin/script must be executable

    - maybe look at editing all perl scripts during configuration to
      get #!/usr/bin/... line pointing to correct place. definitely
      wants to default to /usr/bin/perl instead of /usr/local/bin/perl5

    - add fastcgi to distribution

windows:

    - use Installshield to create packages (maybe use 'package for the
      web') of:
      - full source code with building capability
      - server and cd-rom executables with building capability
      - server and cd-rom executables only

    - use same executable for both cd-rom executables

    - version string in fnord.cpp should be changed when a new version
          is released - maybe the support.htm file too

write perl script for updating distribution

tidy up text versions of macro files

Write a perl script to go through a translated macro file and generate
appropriate icons

add german interface 

create default collection images at build time with gimp script

convert crappy old scheme gimp scripts to perl

fix query caching - do caching in receptionist, finish off cross collection
searching, remove any remaining phrase-searching stuff in queryaction -
maybe wait for mgpp before worrying about this

create default images/macros for remaining Dublin core metadata elements -
maybe have a separate macro file for all these things to make it easier to
add to

get remaining plugins tidied up and using passed in options - file
extension option for all plugins

get all plugins to use multiread object and throw away the specialized GB
plugins

write a gzip/bzip/zip/tar plugin and take any remaining gzip stuff out of
rest of plugins

tidy up classifiers, make collection-specific ones more object oriented,
add section and compact options instead of using separate classifiers - get
classifiers using same option passing code as plugins now use

create a general classifier for doing stuff like NPepaList.pm does. should
handle things like HDLs organization classification, HDLs magazines section
etc.

sort out arrows/paging of browserclasses (for queryaction too!)
-DocumentBottomArrows?? - want arrows at bottom as well as top of pages for
gberg type collections

tidy up automatic help text - need to work out type of collection at build
time - get rid of the hacky HelpNoDocs, HelpBibDocs and HelpBookDocs config
file entries

fix up collection specific metadata - content negotiation??

append to init and error logs instead of overwriting

implement a more robust way of dealing with the way browsers encode form
arguments when you don't want them to - check that
_decodedcompressedoptions_ has been set up correctly everywhere

extend configuration file syntax - tidy up all the format stuff

replace DocumentImages, DocumentTitles and DocumentHeading with
DocumentIcon (values of true, false and formatstring - true may be part of
formatstring)

fix up formattools - bug preventing nested If/Or - check that no 'here'
pointers can run past 'end'

get numwords (and maybe other stats?) working in collection info - maybe
set as macros

tidy things up so that get_collectinfo is only called once per collection
(at init time for fastcgi) - it's currently being called all over the place

get BrowseFilter EndResults option to accept -1

add Language metadata to all documents by default??

fix the way the interface language preference is implemented - should check
somewhere that current language matches one of those specified in config
file

bug when classification is empty. CL number still gets incremented so 
formatstrings don't match as expected

usage page

if document has only one level - e.g. TEXTPlug or HTMLPlug; top level type
should be Invisible so that tables of contents aren't displayed

add browserclasses to statusaction

add ability to use a separate formatstring for each index when displaying 
query results

rebuild fao1 and fao2 with fixed up version of HTMLPlug (no multiple copies
of images

rebuild Davids collections:
    - whist
    - musvid
    - ohist

WebPlug - optimize to run reasonably quickly? - Currently works (I think)
but processes each frame within each combination of a frameset - this means
some html documents are processed hundreds of times and it takes forever to
build a small collection

look into possibility of clearing highlighting whenever you go to browse
etc.  i.e. highlighting only works when coming directly from a search

replace mk_all_dir function with perl module - see if speed improvements
are worthwhile

update collections - set up auto-updating where needed
        - csbib
    - tidbits
    - tcc - mail updating
    - niupepa

add option to buildcol.pl to force documents to be paged/hierarchical. need
to use it for niupepa collection

sort documents between importing and building

fix plugins option to mkcol.pl

get polling for new collections to work when using fastcgi - should also
produce error message when unable to read collect dir (rather than just
exiting)

what to do with Makefiles for collection specific receptionists (like
cstr), use configure?

check out mgs declaration of error()

call server version of cd-rom executable 'standard' and other version
'backup'

put download stuff onto ftp

fix up publications page - maybe just use an index.html type thing on rose

look into server security

fix up compiler warnings (on titoki and rose)

ipc collection has no 'about' text

sort out bbc collections - find real import stuff - delete multiple copies
that are laying around

tidy up cstr - image on left above all 5 buttons - title on right above
goto line

play with csbib - appear to only get 5 matches for 'references' query on
'the' - some indexes also appear to only work some of the time
