Re: [Arches] Re: Accessing languages via Django

[Alexei Peters]

Hi Andrea,
I'm still unsure when this is happening, but I'm going to take a stab at
this anyway!  :)

I'm making this assumption, that the dropdowns (eg
SITE_FUNCTION_CERTAINTY_TYPE.E55)
are being populated only with the concepts in the selected language.  That
is if I've set the site to display everything in English, then the
dropdowns are only displaying the English preflabels.

If that's the case, then when you say from your email of July 4th

>  It would appear that the problem lies with the viewModel not correctly
> picking up the labels when the language selected is not the one with which
> the branches were originally saved.

that you are correct.

You go on to say:

> This branch had been added, originally, in English, but the labels passed
> by the "load" method have been altered to adhere to the selected language
> (Arabic).


I think this is the problem.  The dropdowns reference value id's (eg:
d30fef92-728b-46f6-a4c5-b42e552a0326 and 92c37d46-dc23-4869-b868-b978d9f972aa)
and not concept ids.  It could be that those value ids in your data

{"nodes":[{"value":"d30fef92-728b-46f6-a4c5-b42e552a0326","label":"عالي","child_entities":[],"entitytypeid":"SITE_FUNCTION_CERTAINTY_TYPE.E55","parentid":"679aa456-943d-4b2d-8c25-947c1f635307","entityid":"86e23739-93f0-40d4-8793-d1dc5043a4f9","property":"P2","businesstablename":"domains"},{"value":"92c37d46-dc23-4869-b868-b978d9f972aa","label":"ديني","child_entities":[],"entitytypeid":"SITE_FUNCTION_TYPE.E55","parentid":"6b8526b0-62ec-4860-9bee-ddf6830d3ff8","entityid":"679aa456-943d-4b2d-8c25-947c1f635307","property":"P2","businesstablename":"domains"}]}


don't reference id's in the dropdowns.  I would then expect that when you
click to edit a branch that the value referenced in the data can't be found
in the dropdowns options and the write method get's a blank value (I've
actually confirmed this happens).

There's also a file called js/plugins/knockout-select2.js that has an
"update" method that you might be interested in.  It's one of the first
things that gets called when a user clicks to edit a value that's attached
to a dropdown.

Hopefully this helps.

Re: [Arches] How Arches url system works

[Adam Cox]

Hello Amit,

Arches is built on the Django framework, which, yes uses a very different
url system than you are expecting. URLs don't simply resolve to the
location of an html file, they put to a "view", which is a python class
that is passed to a template html file (which has it's own js file in
arches). Here's some of the official Django documentation that deals with
urls: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/topics/http/urls/

You'll find the html that you are looking for in templates/views/forms/,
but you'll have to look in the virtualenv arches_hip module, not in your
app.  Just take the template in arches_hip that you want to modify, copy
it, and paste it into the corresponding location in your app.  (If you want
to modify the js as well, you'll find it in media/js/views/forms/.)  Then
you can modify the new files in your app, and Django will use them instead
of the defaults inside the virtual environment.

Good luck!

Adam

[Arches] How Arches url system works

[amit ray]

Hello,
I'm a newbie to Arches environment, working on an Arches project. The 
arches default installation site is working correctly.But I want some 
changes to the default Arches installation files like location.htm and 
other. I can locate some HTML files but for others, I'm not able to find 
the exact path to the directory as we do on a general site. 

Is Arches uses a different system to arrange URLs? For example, consider 
this 
URL 
http://10.2.2.33:8000/resources/HERITAGE_RESOURCE_GROUP.E27/district_classification/
 

I tried to locate the resources directory or district_classification 
directory in my server but unable to locate this. I want to change the 
classification HTML file there.
Any Help will be appreciated.

Thanks 
Amit

[Arches] Re: Signing in

[Roshan Bhurtha]

Hi Vincent. Thanks for the welcome!
I am glad you like our web site, but as I have said previously there is a 
lot more to do . There are some bugs to be removed and our user interface 
for  3DHOP is primitive. It needs a good overhaul. Our primary objective 
was to show case a subset of our data, where users can then request more if 
they like it.

I will start a thread regarding the use of 3DHOP if anyone wants to talk 
about it. I also just started with the Arches install and don't have 
anything up & running.

Your facebook page has interesting projects and I am looking forward to see 
your web site !

regards
Roshan
