kill this page

I need to move all of this page into RT tickets. I've started cleaning it up a little bit.

features wanted

list of features wanted, most from a discussion with kc8pxy (some will be taken care of by him/his coders), others need my help.

• settings page (admin password, everything in the defaults table, metadata too..)
• 01:17 <kc8pxy> volunteer certification trancking
  • 01:17 <Ryan52> aka contact_types? :)
  • 01:18 <kc8pxy> btu i don't want unilateral designation.
  • 01:18 <kc8pxy> i want to have 2 or 3 people to "vote" them competent.

TODOs

• some changes to the gizmo_events (using a hash, edit buttons, add on submit, etc) should be ported to the contact methods, if they aren't already
  • add the onsubmit thing for contact_methods as well
  • add the line items edit link for payments and contact methods as well,
• get tests sane again
  • continuous integration is set up and working, but disabled until the tests work
• add onblur for the automatic line item completion thing
• skedjulnator
  • make it integrate with the "normal" contacts table and merging the customizations and defaults
• when editing a return it should link to the sale/disbursement and show a bit of info about that transaction
• cleanup with the prefix in the line item js
• get ticgit ready, and start adding stuff to it
  • port remaining 5 skedjulnator tickets to ticgit (I hope Richard won't mind..)
    • http://dev.freegeek.org/projects/skedjulnator/report/3
• finish sorting trac tickets, and move them to RT or ticgit
  • http://dev.freegeek.org/projects/fgdb.rb/report/3

blah

• fix our plugins stuff
  • move them to their own git repos
    • submodule them in
  • upgrade to the latest versions
  • forward patches upstream, and hope that they apply the changes
• reports over time:
  • conditions
    • add OR support to conditions ... this will be invasive, probably
• switch to rspec
  • fix existing tests how they are
  • learn to use rspec
  • start writing new tests

library

original list of things needed

• Lookup books from library of congress or similar
• Check out books to people
• Track checkout history
• Print labels
• Inventory list (so we can check to see what's missing, etc.)
• Looking up all overdue books
• (this may not be a complete list)

things left to do

before "beta" test

• print labels (mostly done)
  • needs small tweaking wrt the limits on the sides and such
• integrate the overdue list into a more general list...used to show what a "borrower" has checked out, lost, etc, and used in the overdue list. replace the separate checked out list from overdue list in "member" display.

is this needed?

• search by isbn? right now it's just a text search by title. having problems figuring out how to add more...
• how to handle what to label? currently new copies are added to a list in the session, as well as when you press the button, and removed when you print...this is wrong. we can use store in the database if they've been printed or not, and after you get the PDF you say "yes, it worked, mark them as labeled"...then search for unprinted ones to print.
• labels stuff supports it, just need teh interface. how to do this? we can show X number of tables (depending on how many labels to print) that looks like a label sheet, and have people uncheck the boxes that they want skipped. or just enter the number like it is with the current software.
• what happens after a book is lost?
• does there need to be a publicly accessible

before/during release

• moving from openbiblios schema (figured out)
  • add foreign keys, and create (or redo..) the migrations
  • need to create a temporary rails project that migrates the schema

later

• consider regenerating the xapian database on each start up. it might not be that hard on the database. I'll have to time it or something.
• isbn checksumming

should do soonish

• make it work with rails 2.2.2
• interface for adding contracts
• a way to disable contracts

for a rainy day

• validation is done on the submit button's onclick...why not the forms onsubmit?
• coveredness without contracts is broken (in the js) -- no big deal
  • not sure where this is broken, this note was written a long time ago.
• covered condition (extra)
  • so we can see either. we don't need side by side numbers at this point, but who knows???
  • maybe a graphing report
• update the documentation (meh, not *that* important)
  • markstos's patch
• security fixing
  • CSRF (use rails' protect_from_forgery and verify methods)
    • Look at this: [1] looks really kewl!
  • check for SQL injection, we won't have to worry about this in most places since we use active record, but the reports where we use SQL directly should be checked.
  • Rails Security Guide
• look closer at the XSS stuff (safe erb) -- I got a lot of em
  • the on_display stuff for contact searches is an XSS bug, sort of. regardless, it should be cleaned up.
• remove cruft from that ajax helper thing
  • lots of stuff in app/helpers/application.rb that's probably not used. if it is, it shouldn't be.
• get rid of duplicated data in code
  • permissions for various controllers are split between the sidebar and the controller itself
  • a single place for this would be nice, then we could generate a page for admins that tells them what all of the roles give access to. this was requested by earthworm.
• fgss generic regexps
  • 18:44 < aSmig> this should match everything but 31: ([0]{5,}|123456789|^.{1,4}$|^[^0-9]*$)
    • false positives still exist ... figure it out
