scratchpads2's Issues

Matrix editor: filter requests

• Original ID: 1563
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

It would be useful to have a ‘Remove all filters’ option.
It might be useful to have a filter for ‘Taxonomic name’.

Taxon pages: Improve panel sorting

• Original ID: 1550
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

• after sorting and closing the panel, the new sort order should be immediately visible
• there should be an option to move images to an area where they are not shown in the panel
• there should be the option to show none of the images
• I can choose to show 20 images, but only 10 images are shown in the sort view, so I have no option to sort the next 10.
• If I have more than 10 (20) images I need to have an option to select from all of the images tagged with this term

Taxonomic editor: Warning message to save

• Original ID: 1578
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

When you move from one taxon to the next without saving changes, there should be a warning message. But only if there were changes.

Remove 'Sort' and 'Add' link on main content type pages

• Original ID: 1574
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

These links are for panels, not content and don't work, e.g. http://milichiidae.info/content/page.

'Last edited by Username' note

• Original ID: 1561
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

I have the ‘submitted by Username on date’ text at the top of each node. However, I actually think it much more useful for my users to know when this node was last updated, not when it was generated. So I would like to have a ‘last edited by Username on date’ text in addition.

Single image upload for multiple images

• Original ID: 1558
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

I think we have to discuss the option to upload multiple images as single image in a Scratchpad meeting. Currently only one node is generated which shows all the images. In the gallery the images are shown separately but link to the one node. In my opinion, if you upload multiple images via the single image upload (which I like), you should generate separate nodes for each images with the same metadata like we used to have in Drupal 5. The title of additional images should get a sequence number. After I have saved I should get a page with thumbnails of all images and the option to matrix edit the images.

Hide 'Copy these terms to the > biblio keyword database' checkbox

• Original ID: 1570
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

Clicking on 'Copy these terms to the biblio keyword database' when editing a biblio, results in the tag "Newsletter: Scratchpad Sandbox newsletter" being added to the node. The keywords are not added to the biblio keyword database, by the way. Please hide the checkbox as long as it doesn't work.

Nexus controlled character export

• Original ID: 1568
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: null

Description:

Export of Nexus DNA characters seems to work. However, when I export Nexus controlled characters, I get an export of the DNA characters with the '?' and '-' missing. At least those are the only characters I see in Winclada and TNT had problems with the file, too.

Matrix editor: improvements

• Original ID: 1565
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

http://sandbox.scratchpads.eu/matrix-editor/image. I can click on a row header, e.g. ‘Image galleries’ but nothing happens. The headers look to be clickable, so something should happen. For example add a sentence below the matrix like “To edit content select one or more fields within a column (Ctrl+click on PC, Cmd+click on Mac) and edit the content in the field that appears below the matrix. Then click on the ‘Save changes’ button”.

Sandbox primates classification settings

• Original ID: 1588
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

For the Primates classification on the sandbox, the ‘Taxon description’ content type should be selected as default as well as the publication stuff.

Character project: character delete doesn't work

• Original ID: 1569
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

I can't delete a character

Add link to advanced administration page on basic one

• Original ID: 1594
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

At top, so that one doesn't have to scroll down to see the link.

Group content visible even though it shouldn't be

• Original ID: 1576
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

I have made a completely private group and added a page at http://sandbox.scratchpads.eu/content/private-group-page and it is visible when I log out.

Publication bugs

• Original ID: 1586
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

When I ‘Edit publication author’ I don’t see the user name, just part of a red x. I can click on this x and get a “[nid:1]” in the authors box, but when I save there is no author. Since there are no other users on the sandbox I guess I shouldn’t be able to click anything but a link to ‘Create author’

Publication: create author bug

• Original ID: 1585
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

When I create an author I get the “This user already has a content profile of this type. You can only create one profile per user” message. I remember there was some way to fix this, but others don’t know this. So as long as this bug is not fixed there should be a message popping up with an explanation of what you have to do.

Images can't be tagged to image galleries

• Original ID: 1555
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

It looks like there is no way at the moment to link an image to an image gallery. There should be a field when one adds/edits an image and in the matrix editor.

Hide 'Track' tab

• Original ID: 1571
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

Next to the Clone tab on all pages there is now a 'Track' tab, e.g. on http://milichiidae.info/imported/mi-intro.html and on the sandbox (possibly on all Scratchpads with the publication module). This should be hidden.

Classification: Create checklists

• Original ID: 1552
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: null

Description:

Generate species lists from the taxonomy. If possible combine with specimen module and/or country maps to produce species lists from certain countries/regions

Image upload: Library gallery as default

• Original ID: 1559
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

All uploaded images should by default go into the 'Library' gallery, so that they are visible when clicking on 'Image' in the Content menu. For old sites all images that are not currently attached to an image gallery should be moved to the 'Library' gallery. However, before this is done it must be sure that these sites were not affected by the bug which removed the gallery tagging.

Change sandbox email

• Original ID: 1584
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

Please remove the scratchpads email from the sandbox, so that the team members don’t all get messages when someone plays around with groups.

Publication published but still hidden

• Original ID: 1580
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

I published a test publication on the sandbox and the taxon name changed, but the publication was still hidden.

Character project: SDD export/import into Lucid bugs

• Original ID: 1567
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

The import of a SDD file from the Scratchpad into Lucid 3.4 or 3.5 only works if all taxa have the same rank.
Numeric characters don't work even if I have simple numbers and no ranges. For controlled characters the "?" and "-" don't work.

Image gallery tagging lost

• Original ID: 1592
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

On http://gpi.myspecies.info/, http://apotheca.myspecies.info/, http://phthiraptera.myspecies.info/ and possibly also http://illinoismantids.myspecies.info/image, http://eurybia.myspecies.info/image, http://insectwingcollection.myspecies.info/image, http://orthalicoidea.myspecies.info/image, http://seahorse.myspecies.info/image, the image gallery tagging has been screwed up. Please restore the old tagging.

Publication: taxon description fields don’t show up in the view

• Original ID: 1583
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

Taxon description fields usually do not show up in the view. You have to do the following to make them appear: When you are on the 'Sections' tab you need to click on 'Edit term fields' and save even if you don't change anything. You should then see all the selected fields underneath the taxon description header. You will need to do this for each taxon. This needs to be changed. The fields should show up without having to edit them.

Search results: Have panels-style results page for searches

• Original ID: 1548
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

The standard search could be improved by grouping results by content type in a panels-style way. [Ed Baker]

Publication: bold bug

• Original ID: 1581
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

I added an ‘Introduction’ section and had a bold word, but it is not bold in the view.

Character project: Improvements

• Original ID: 1549
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

For controlled character states the viewer should be able to see the name of the character in addition to the text of the respective character state when hovering over the number.

When entering a character the user should be able to see the description of this character. This is useful for example for the definition of ratios or measurements.

Matrix editor - make node links target="_blank"

• Original ID: 1562
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

Assuming that people only click on one of the node links, e.g. for the publication or the specimen, to check these data, I think it would be good if clicking on these links would open a new tab or small window and not lead away from the matrix editor.

Integration with Plazi

• Original ID: 1551
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

Integrate with Plazi - seek out to see if treatments available on Plazi or similar sites and display them on Scratchpads.

Taxonomic editor: 'Link to this page' window removal

• Original ID: 1579
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

When clicking on the 'Link to this page' icon the link appears in a small window and I can't remove the window any more except by clicking on the "Link" icon again. The window should also go away when I click somewhere else, like the search window does.

Hide input format box wherever possible

• Original ID: 1575
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

Hide this box if possible because it just confuses users and takes up space.

Administration: Remember whether I want advanced admin view

• Original ID: 1547
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

I'm bored of having to select it nearly every time I want to do something. [Ed Baker]

Character project: misspelling

• Original ID: 1566
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

Under ‘Export data’ there is a misspelling: “… Only non-molecular controlled charcters (DNA) will be exported.”

Adding an image via the rich text editor is too complicated

• Original ID: 1573
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

This takes too many steps and is not self explanatory

Sandbox user name and password changes

• Original ID: 1572
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

Stop people from having the option to change the ‘test’ username and password or have some script that generates a new user for these changes and have the old username and password still working

Taxon pages: curating taxon pages does not work

• Original ID: 1554
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

When editing taxon pages one can move panels from active to hidden and back, but the results are either not saved at all or only erratically (first saved, rest not?). Tried on sandbox and fungus gnats Scratchpad.

Taxon description fields sequence

• Original ID: 1587
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

The sequence of the fields in the taxon description view seems completely random and differs from the ‘Edit’ view. It should be the same. Having said this, the sequence in the ‘Edit’ view should also be changed with the fields we can expect most of our users to use in a more prominent position. It is really annoying to search through all these fields for the ones you need.
Fields that have been used on the Scratchpads so far are: Distribution, Morphology, Diagnostic Description, General Description, Biology, Size, Ecology, Association, Conservation status and Look alikes.

Taxonomic Editor: allow multi-select for tagging, e.g. from 'none' to 'species'

• Original ID: 1546
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

When the classification of a group is imported from a plain text-file, all entries are untagged. Tagging them with 'genus' or 'species' is laborious (and rather tedious). Multi-selection + tagging would be a great improvement.

NB: subgenera and subspecies are currently not supported; I think that is an omission... [Bram Breure]

ITIS name: Add the authority into the title of an ITIS name node

• Original ID: 1556
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

Have the authority included in the title of ITIS Names.

Images not showing immediately

• Original ID: 1593
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

When I open a new page, e.g. http://milichiidae.info/content/phyllomyzaequitansmlatjpg or a species page, the images are not showing and I get the warning message "ImageMagick reported an error: convert: unable to open image `jpeg': No such file or directory". I have to renew the browser window to see the images.

Groups: Roles should be preselected

• Original ID: 1577
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

A member of a group can’t have a lower role within the group than without. So if I add a member to a group, who is contributor or editor to the whole Scratchpad, the contributor and editor roles on http://sandbox.scratchpads.eu/og/users/4/roles should be preselected and greyed out because they can not be changed.

WYSIWYG editor pasting

• Original ID: 1595
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

Paste from word has too many line breaks.
Paste from plain text is missing spaces, instead of a line break.

Taxon pages: show data from synonyms under valid name

• Original ID: 1557
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

For taxon pages based on ITIS vocabularies it should be possible to have the option to see data from synonyms on the taxon page of the valid taxon. For example as checkbox which can be switched on/off by each user.

Image gallery thumbnail panel showing non-gallery nodes

• Original ID: 1590
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

When I import an ITIS taxonomy, localities and specimen into the sandbox, I have ITIS names and specimen popping up in the ‘Image Gallery Thumbnails’ panel at http://sandbox.scratchpads.eu/category/carnidae/carnidae/carnus/carnus-hemapterus.

Publication: edit publication/bibliography bug

• Original ID: 1582
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

When I ‘Edit publication image’, same happens as with authors, I don’t see an image, just part of a red x and when I save, I see no thumbnail, though I do get the warning that I should save.
For the bibliography the references show up when I edit, but when I save I don’t see them any more. Only when I then save the tab again, I see them.

Matrix editor: filter bugs

• Original ID: 1564
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

When I filter for ‘Title’ first and then change the fields, the ‘Title’ filter is removed, which it shouldn’t. It only works the other way round. Same for ‘Author’.
I tried to find out whether I can filter for two different titles and entered “Car & tui”. No images could be found, so the ‘&’ sign wasn’t a good idea. However, now I am stuck. My matrix is gone and clicking on ‘Advanced filters’ has no effect. I should be able to extend the filters again to change my search. Also, is there an option to search for several title words?

Matrix editor should show more fields

• Original ID: 1589
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

The matrix editor for the various content types should always have all fields available under the 'Advanced filters', and show only a selection as default.
For taxon description the default selection should be Distribution, Morphology, Diagnostic Description, General Description.
For the biblio matrix editor there should be a note referring to the option to edit authors and keywords under the biblio settings. The biblio default selection should include journals, for example.

Multiple image upload improvement suggestions

• Original ID: 1560
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

• It might not be intended this way, but I expected to be able to click on the plus icon next to the ‘Select files’ at the top.
• The way my mouse changes when hovering over the upload screen is confusing. I get an arrow over the just mentioned plus icon, but the ‘I’ when over ‘Select files and the light grey bar underneath. I get the ‘I’ when hovering over ‘Add files’ though it should be the hand sign. When I hover over ‘Start upload’ I have the arrow and the font changes to grey regardless of when there are files to upload or not.
• I think the way the screen looks at the moment people might easily forget to click on the ‘Start upload’ button and instead directly click on ‘Edit uploaded images’ because it is so prominent. To avoid this it might be good to enlarge the ‘Add files’ and ‘Start upload’ buttons.

Country maps for genera aggregating species data

• Original ID: 1553
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

It would be nice when I have country maps for all the species in a genus to then be able to automatically generate a map for the genus which shows the distribution of the genus. When I hover over a country with the mouse a list of all the species occurring in this country should pop up. The same could be possible for all higher taxa, not just genera.

Image matrix editor not saving taxonomic names and not selecting several fields

• Original ID: 1591
• Added by Irina Brake
• Scratchpads URL: http://diptera.myspecies.info/

Description:

I can sometimes select several fields at http://milichiidae.info/matrix-editor/image, but when I wanted to save changes in the classification field I first got a warning about some duplicate maps and then it looked like the images were updated, but the the classification field hasn’t been updated. Actually if I refresh my browser I see that the taxonomic name was only added in one of the fields I selected. When I select multiple ‘Notes’ fields and edit them, it works. Selecting several fields is a bit funny now, with several rows getting blue and I can’t see any more which fields I selected.
Now any changes in the classification don't save any more and I can't select several fields.
