Web-based user interface for ceur-make

ceur-make-ui's Issues

Integrate different proceeding series

User should be able to choose which proceeding series they are submitting

Auto suggestive widget

To provide autosuggestion of data's like conference details from dblp or google scholor dataset

pages/@from and pages/@to should be in lower case

Homepage of The Conference should be optional

While publishing conference meta data homepage of the conference is not optional.

Improve User experience by providing responsive input fields through out the system

Feedback got from a user after the initial internal User evaluation was to have responsive input fields to improve the user experience.
Right now the input fields are not responsive and if the user made any mistakes on the input field, we get the error prompt after clicking on the Next or Finish button.
With responsive input fields, we could notify the user right after moving to the next input field.

Fix layout issue on different web browsers

While testing the project on different browsers, we found that there is some layout issue on browsers on Ubuntu and macOS. Need to troubleshoot the issue and fix it .

Introducing clear functionality at a tab level [Development Branch, Master Thesis, Vishnu, 29.09.2019]

Respected @vishnunmenon,

You can add clear functionality at the tab level while creating Workshop proceedings, as it would be more required use case from the user perspective.

Many thanks in advance!

System State Saving

Store the navigational states of the system, so that whenever user returns he can start from the oint where he left editing the workshop.

Adjust rights to directories

Instead of super user rights that are 777, proper rights should be assigned to the directories so that every one is not able to right in these directories.

EasyChair upload doesn't work

We are getting the following error messages:

https://github.com/ceurws/ceur-make-ui/blob/master/CeurMakeGUI/index/ManagingExtract.php#L57

opendir(easyChair/There was a problem with the upload. Please try again./): fail
ed to open dir: No such file or directory

… because fileName is not initialised with the right value.

Page Numbers of Papers ( Optional field )

Page numbers of papers is an optional field, where as for now in the GUI it is mandatory. Change it to an optional validation.

A Collaborative Workspace for the Editors

A collaborative workspace for the editors would enhance the user experience as it would allow multiple editors to edit the workshop metadata at the same time with discussion.

Code Refactoring for Field Validation

Please have a look at the following file, I think at some places this refactoring has remained incomplete it will be good to be consistent throughout the codebase:
https://github.com/ceurws/ceur-make-ui/blob/master/CeurMakeGUI/index/helperJS/fieldValidator.js

Conference metadata should be optional but are not optional

When I want to skip the "conference metadata" step, I get a red warning message on every input field. This should not happen.

Fix deployment issue on server

Some of the shell scripts and commands are not executing while hosting. Need to troubleshoot

Affiliation input box should be more permissive

… or shouldn't restrict input at all. Consider e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_A&M_University

Session (Optional)

When creating table of contents, sessions are optional. Hence, reduce this step to improve the usability.

Misleading Labels

"1. Metadata". ID is actually not numeric but your validator says so. "volume" should be named "volume title". Please check the in workshop.xml

also the full title should allow numbers

Page Number Not Appearing

Authors for the papers not appearing in Index.html

In index file authors are not appearing under the papers but in toc.xml the authors are their.

Remove 'I am very simple card ' texts from pages.

Enable updates to countries.json

Countries change relatively frequently. It would be good to document where countries.json comes from so that the admin can update it. If it's not downloaded from anywhere it would be good to switch from a manually maintained file to some list of countries that can be downloaded from a free source on the Web. If you can't find such a source, I might be able to write a suitable SPARQL query against DBpedia.

At the moment there are some spelling mistakes ("land Islands", "AndorrA"), and some places missing that are recognised as countries by some others, e.g. Kosovo – but it's not worth the effort of fixing them manually.

Database of Previously Published Workshops

Users can use previously published proceedings metadata stored in databases as templates, so that they don't need to fill in data every time they use the system. Additionally, system could autosuggest parts of metadata.

Renaming Clear Button: [Development Branch, Master Thesis, Vishnu, 29.09.2019]

Respected @vishnunmenon,

It would be great to change the clear button label and layout to suggest to user more appropriately that, he/she is going to create a new workshop proceeding rather than taking pre-filled fields as suggested to him/her.

Many thanks in advance!

Remove Mac OS metadata files from GitHub and from the ZIP files

Many directories of the GitHub repository and many of the ZIP files (e.g. output.zip) contain Mac OS metadata files, i.e. .DS_Store and __MACOSX. They should be removed (e.g. by adding them to .gitignore).

Date Format not clear from the form

Either add date picker if the materialize.css supports it now or rather show the format with the helper text. Otherwise user goes blind on this one.

Stylesheet is not properly loaded

Logos, styles and bullets not according to the latest template

Prompt Before Clearing all the fields [Development Branch, Master Thesis, Vishnu, 29.09.2019]

Respected @vishnunmenon,

There should be a prompt to take user confirmation for his desired step of clearing out all the fields or switching to completely new form for generating workshop proceedings.

Many thanks in advance!

Feedback: Progress bar

In easychair workflow the uploading and creation process is slow so more valuable feedback to the user should be shown.

Automatic Identification of Author Names, Titles and Page Numbers

Scrapping the paper's would help to realise author names, titles and page numbers. It would reduce the burden at client side for entering the metadata.

Introduce User Profiling

User profiling could store the record of a particular user and it could help the system to gather user information which could help user to fill in the wizards of Table of Contents and Workshop.
