My apologies, I should have checked a little deeper before I mentioned
this problem.

 

Yes, you are right - the number codes work and some of the text ones (I
think this was not always so).  That helps me greatly for now - but it
would be nice if all the text ones worked - they are so much easier to
read/remember/interpret!

Subject: Re: New admin client

 

Hi Richard,

 

I'm glad to hear that the web admin client is working well for you. The
more "hammering" it gets now the more confident we'll all be when it
becomes the primary administrative tool down the road, so please
continue to test its limits.

 

Regarding your notes about supporting the use of the & character, I did
some testing and was able to add the following lines to my DC xml (using
the Edit Content option for a datastream in the web admin) without a
problem:

 

  <dc:description>&lt; Description Text &gt;</dc:description>

  <dc:rights>&#169; Fedora Commons</dc:rights>

 

I did, however, get an error when I replaced &#169; with &copy;. With
some further testing it appears that any of the HTML number encodings
(see list here http://www.ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm) work fine, but some of
the HTML name encoding cause an error. I'm not sure why this is. I'll
open up a Jira issue for this, but since it sounds like my tests are
showing different results from what you indicated, I wanted to make sure
that this is, in fact, the issue that you are having.

Over the last few days I have rather 'hammered' the new web-based admin
client.  Can I say that I am much impressed - keep up the good work!

 

One thing, though - and this is true in the Java-based client too - it
would be very nice to be able to enter '&' in a field.  Three things I
frequently wish I could do are '&copy;' (say in dc:rights) and '&lt;' or
'&gt;' (say in dc:description).  Any chance in the next release maybe?
Always the Fedora admin clients throw an error if you try this.

 

Best

 

Richard
