[Arches] Adding new icons to Arches from 'Fonts Awesome'

['Lucy FJ' via Arches Project]

Hi all, 

Can anyone point me in the right direction for this problem? 

I tried to add new, free icons from fonts awesome, by adding them to the 
bottom of the program 'font-awesome.css' and also changing the lines at the 
top which show the version number. But it did not add the new fonts. Is 
there another program I should change? 

Thank you for your help?

[Arches] Re: BING Services key

['Lucy FJ' via Arches Project]

 Hi all,

I had asked 3 years ago about the Bing map keys and what they are used for. 
Adam gave me this very helpful answer.  I understand the BING key is 
necessary for geocoding and for receiving the map tiles, *which I 
understood would be the latest version of Bing maps*. I had created an 
account and a key which is associated with the development instance URL but 
is in the settings_local.py for both our instances. So I assumed we have 
the latest BING map tiles. But  I spotted a mistake on the BING satellite 
map we use in Arches (in both our instances  - Siwa Lake is called Lake 
Tanganyka - and wanted to send feedback to Bing about it. However, on 
checking their website, www.bing.com/maps, I see that the label is not 
there at all, whichever zoom level I use. This suggests it is a different 
version of the map. I have received many messages from Bing giving updated 
service terms  and haven't read them properly, so perhaps I need to do 
something to receive the latest versions? Can anyone throw any light on 
this? We removed the geocoding as it cannot be used in Egypt. 

Thank you very much.

[Arches] Arches V3: URL links in Arches reports as External references

['Lucy FJ' via Arches Project]

Hi everyone,

The EAD wishes to add links to external web sites for some of its 
archaeological sites.

This is very easy to do using the external cross reference option. I have 
input the URL  and it clearly shows as a link on the input form. 

However when I access the report, it is not at all clear to the user that 
it is a link. You need to right click and select an option to access the 
website. 

Is this how it was designed to work? Am I missing something on the input? I 
have uploaded screen shots








Any help would be gratefully received. 

Thank you, Lucy

We have input over a 1000 sites on our Arches EAD now, although there is 
still a lot of information to enter about them such as images and 
descriptions. But it is going well and I've started trying to compare our 
western desert sites with Eameana', but most of my time is spent

it.

Just to add that I restarted elastic search using the command you gave me

I did notice, however, that in the map view, it is taking a long time to 
display the pop-up screen screen and comes up with the 'loading data' 
message. We did not have this message before. Does anything else need to be 
done, like reindexing - whatever that means!

[Arches] Connection error on Apache production server

['Lucy FJ' via Arches Project]

Hi all,

A really weird problem has come up on our production server. 
We were starting input and could not get more than 2 users accessing 
Arches. So the system administrator stopped the server, increased the size 
of the CPU and increased the speed of the server. He also turned off the 
firewall. He restarted the server. 

When we accessed Arches again, we were unable to save the data on summary 
input-  we got the connection error attached. When you try looking at the 
map and doing a search, no sites appear ,even though a few were input. It 
seems that the database is disconnected. 

Do I need to run manage.py install packages again?

[Arches] Opportunity for an all expenses paid visit to Egypt!!

['Lucy FJ' via Arches Project]

 Hi all,

I am looking forward to attending the Arches 4.0 workshop next week, to 
meeting other Arches adoptees and especially, to meeting Richard Jennings 
and the Arches team again and to finally meet Adam Cox! 

As you may be aware we have been having problems finding an experienced 
developer with the time and the skills to modify our iteration of Arches. 
We are part of the way there but the project needs to be finished off. Our 
present technical person works full time and often at weekends so has not 
had the necessary time to devote to the project.

Is there anyone out there who has already installed and modified Arches 3.0 
who would like an all expenses paid trip to sunny Cairo to hep us complete 
the customization? Two weeks would help. 

If you know anyone who is interested, please let me know ASAP or at the 
workshop next week.

Thank you very much,
Lucy

[Arches] Demo System - please don't clear today or tonight.

['Lucy FJ' via Arches Project]

 Again, thank you to the Arches team for producing such a useful 
demonstration site. 

We are going to be showing Arches to another inventory team tomorrow, and 
as our Arches app is out of action at the moment, I have added a lot of 
data to the rdm and added a couple of sites to the demo site.  I do hope 
the demo site will NOT be updated and extra data cleared off tonight!! 

Also, I see that it is not possible to load files such as images into the 
demo site, a server error results. I assume this is by design? 

Thank you very much,
Lucy

[Arches] Re: Using different versions of Linux and Python

['Lucy FJ' via Arches Project]

Hi Adam,
I followed your instructions and we *are* using Python version 2.7.6 .I do 
not totally understand about having Python 2.7.6 in the virtual 
environment. I assume that that is ENV? I an uploading snips of the entire 
library structure we have on our server. Our app is called 'EAD', these 
libraries are not in ENV. Is this correct? is ths structure correct? We are 
still having problems with compiling python by simply starting Arches - we 
need to use the runserver command and the JPEG decoder did not get 
installed. That is an old issue I asked you about before and you gave me a 
helpful answer but we haven't been able to try it out yet. 
Thank you very much for your help, as ever. Lucy

[Arches] Using different versions of Linux and Python

['Lucy FJ' via Arches Project]

Hi all,

Having done some Arches customization we have hit some strange technical 
problems so we decided to check everything from the installation of 
dependencies onwards. It appears that we are using Oracle Linux 6.7 for our 
Arches app. Has anyone had any problems with this? 

It also seems that we are using Python v 2.6.6 not 2.7.6 which was 
suggested for Arches. We know later versions can cause problems but can 
earlier ones? If we need the later version of Python can we simply download 
it and install without redoing the whole Arches installation again? 

Thank you very much for your help!

Lucy

[Arches] Arches resource cross reference relationships authority file problems

['Lucy FJ' via Arches Project]

Hi all,
I have come across a strange problem with the ARCHES RESOURCE 
CROSS-REFERENCE RELATIONSHIPS TYPE.E32 authority file. This is named 
differently from the others, without the _ between the parts of the file 
name. Is this correct? The console command line utility I use to access the 
server cannot read this file name. Also, I see that when looking at the 
RDM, that it is not possible to change or add new types as the 'add 
dropdown'  form is shown, not the 'add new concept' form. Are these 
problems related? 

Thank you very much,

Lucy

[Arches] Description Type: Bug

['Lucy FJ' via Arches Project]

When inputting the description for a resource, the 'type' has already been 
set to the 3rd type that appears in the RDM or on the authority file. It 
should just show the word 'type' in the box so you can select in 
alphabetical order as usual. I know that there are some easy workarounds 
for this but it would be better if the box could work in the standard way: 
allowing selection in alphabetical order of the description type. The 
screen shot shows how the form looks as you first enter it. You can see 
that 'Summary of Significance' shows up in the box, which is the 3rd type 
in the list. When 'Primary' was the 3rd type that also showed up in the 
box. 
I found in a post I made before that when we had less than 3 types, the 
text box disappeared altogether.

[Arches] Re: Compiling .py programs

['Lucy FJ' via Arches Project]

Hi Vincent, Adam and all,
Vincent - thank you for taking such an interest and your continued help. Yes, 
where would we all be without Adam Cox! But we already had that change in and 
still the .pyc would not compile within Arches. 
However our new developer has discovered the cause of this problem in our 
system. For some reason, the build script, build.sh was missing from the 
following  folder "build" in 
"/opt/projects/ENV/lib/python2.7/site-packages/arches. We don't know when this 
happened, at the installation or whether it got deleted later but this could be 
the cause of all our problems in making modifications to Arches. I hope at 
least this is the cause!

Re: [Arches] Compiling .py programs

['Lucy FJ' via Arches Project]

Hi again,
I have just read through some notes you put on the forum last may and 
wonder if we have confused two files. Are you referring to the resource.py 
file that resides in the arches_hip/models directory and therefore 
should be moved to our apps/models directory? There is another file called 
resource*s*.py (note the s at the end) which resides in the 
.arches_hip/views directory and is different. We have changed the 
former, not the latter. What is the latter used for by the way?

Re: [Arches] Compiling .py programs

['Lucy FJ' via Arches Project]

Hi Adam,

Thank you for your help. 

Yes, we have copied the resource.py file into our app - it is in the same 
directory as forms.py, ../our app/our app/models. However, the settings.py 
file (and compiled version) has been modified slightly differently from 
what you suggest and is located in ./our app/our app. As I do not know 
python, I do not know if this is effectively the same: 

RESOURCE_MODEL = {'default': 'ead.models.resource.Resource'} where 'ead' is 
our app.  

(In the past we have managed to compile python programs but the technician 
involved cannot now be contacted and I do not know what has changed.)

Thanks, Lucy

[Arches] Compiling .py programs

['Lucy FJ' via Arches Project]

Hi everyone,

This is a basic technical question which I am asking as a not particularly 
technical person. 

We are customising Arches and are changing forms.py because we have added 
new nodes to the Heritage Resource graph. 
I have copied forms.py from the Arches HIP directory, changed it and put it 
into our custom directory. I opened Arches and found that the changes had 
not taken effect and noticed that a .pyc file had not been created in the 
custom directory. I assume that the .pyc file in the HIP directory is being 
read instead? (It is still there). I have tried stopping and restarting our 
server and still the .pyc file fails to be created. The file resource.py 
has been changed as suggested by the Arches documentation to pick up the 
correct version of 'forms' (*from arches_hip.models import forms *has been 
changed to *import forms*) and is also located in the custom directory. 
What is the mechanism that causes the .pyc file to be created? I was 
wondering if it was a permission/ownership problem. All our Arches programs 
are owned by Root. is this normal in an Arches installation? 

Thank you very much for your help.

[Arches] Updating resource graph with new nodes problems

['Lucy FJ' via Arches Project]

We are adding new nodes to our already customised database and have hit a 
problem. I do not have the error reports to hand. But I just wanted to check 
whether anyone else knows whether you need to do anything special if you wish 
to delete two modes and put in new ones. We have updated both the nodes and 
edges file, simply by overwriting the names of the old names with the new ones 
thus using the same ID's for new nodes. We then run the reload database command 
and get the error which suggests that a key is duplicated. 
I assumed that the whole database structure is dropped and then recreated from 
this common so old Arches ref numbers would be irrelevant but perhaps not?

Re: [Arches] Re: Accessing languages via Django

Dear Andrea, Adam, Alexei et al,

We, the Egyptian Archaeological Database project team, will also be 
implementing an Arabic versdion of our Arches iteration. I have followed 
this technical discussion but it still  isn't totally clear how to install 
a second language in Arches. I know everyone is very busy, but we would be 
eternally grateful (this means a lot to Egyptologists!!) if one of you 
could write a short document outlining the technical steps necessary to 
install a second language in Arches. Are there any particular problems 
associated with Arabic being a second language? Cheers and thank you very 
much indeed!

 Hi all,

 In order to fix the visualisation of the already selected branches, I 
 have tried to modify models/entity.py, particularly the get_nodes method, 
 since it is that which calls the labels of concepts already stored in the 
 database (see here for the modified method: 
 https://github.com/azerbini/eamena2/blob/app/models/entity.py). 
 Currently, I am only trying to get get_nodes() to retrieve the right 
 prefLabels, so I am not modifying the data, just displaying it via print 
 statements. I have had to perform a UUID validation of entity.value in 
 order to stop get_preflabels_from_valueid from attempting to run on 
 entity.value when the latter is a Polygon type. When I modify a form, on 
 POST submission, all seems to work fine. Here are some of the outputs I 
 get 
 on the server:

 As you can see, get_preflabels_from_valueid has correctly located my

We see that there is no 'Images and Files' menu option to upload files to a

[Arches] Adding domains to a 'name' entity

['Lucy FJ' via Arches Project]

Hi all,

We are experiencing some programming difficulty with a customization, that 
I thought would be easy. We wish to add a domain, a drop down list to 
ADMINISTRATIVE_SUBDIVISION.E48 instead of allowing the user to input a free 
form name. The .E48 is linked with ADMINISTRATIVE_SUBDIVISION_TYPE.E55. We 
would only have one value in this subtypes  authority file.  In the 
ENTITY_X-ADOC file the .E48 would be linked with the .E32 authority 
document. In theory is it possible to do this? We realize we cannot add any 
more 

We tried this but it did not appear to work (but could have been simply 
some programming bugs) so we created a new  type.E55 node and update that 
node instead.  However for various reasons this is not working and it does 
mean that the .E48 node is not being updated at all. I would prefer to go 
back to our first idea but will it work? It is not a standard Arches way of 
proceeding.

Thank you for any help,
Lucy

[Arches] Problems with uploading image files

['Lucy FJ' via Arches Project]

 Hi all, 

I saw some posts a while back on problems with uploading images but cannot 
find them, so I'm sorry if the answers have already been given. I have 3 
errors:

1. I tried uploading a JPEG image in the resource input screen, (and in 
edit mode) and got this error: "decoder JPEG not available", when saving to 
the database. 

2. I also tried uploading a PNG image  and got a different error: a Value 
error: "wrong number of lut entries", when saving to the database. 

3. I also tried using the Information Resource input to upload a file and 
immediately got an error when simply selecting the 'file upload' button 
after putting in some details on the resource summary screen.   When I went 
directly to the  'upload file' button, (without putting in details  I was 
able to upload an image but then got the same 'decoder JPEG not available' 
error when trying to save. 
(I think this error has already been reported) 

I've added the error reports here.







Any help appreciated, thank you. 

Lucy

Re: [Arches] NameTypes Question

['Lucy FJ' via Arches Project]

Hello,
We have had exactly the same problem with non primary names becoming the name 
of the resource and showing on the map. I had thought that as name types are 
user generated, there was no programming to ensure that the primary name was 
always shown. We found that the first name to be input is the one shown on the 
map and used as the resource name. We just worked around it by always inputting 
the primary name first. But, I recently discovered that if you go back in and 
edit the resource to add further alternative names, again, the first name you 
input in the edit session becomes the name of the resource and on the map. This 
definitely needs fixing as the workaround would be too cumbersome.

Thank you, 
Lucy

Alison,

Indeed, thank you for the update, v4 looks very promising. Could you tell 
me whether the enhanced security with different security profiles will also 
deal with being able to restrict sensitive data for a site such as the 
location coordinates to certain users? This is a suggested enhancement on 
Github. This would be very useful for certain newly discovered Egyptian 
archaeological sites because as soon as the coordinates are publicized they 
are looted and damaged.

Hi Adam,

I have now thoroughly read the documentation on .Arches file and have 
played around with the Microsoft query and have a much better idea of what 
I need to do, so there is no need to answer some of the questions I asked

It seems that you either need to do a lot of manipulation of the excel file 
or a lot of copy and pasting in the .Arches file which will then be 
enormous even for our modest database!

[Arches] Re: Creating .Arches files

['Lucy FJ' via Arches Project]

Hi Adam,

Finally I am back testing out creating an .Arches file (but I am not able 
to load them yet and see the results) and I do have further questions about 
adding alternative names and several resource classifications. 

Just to be clear that I understood you correctly, the group ID keeps 
records that are related within a heritage resource together, and the 
resource ID ensures that all data for a particular resource is kept 
together? Therefore, each alternative name/nametype would have a separate 
Group ID from the preferred name/nametype, but the same Resource ID?

Secondly, I am not very familiar with Microsoft query, but it seems that 
the original Excel file for creating the query from, can only have one 
'row' per record or archaeological site in our case. So as you suggested, 
we would need to put in a new column for each alternative name we have and 
for each site type classification and of course modify the query to add 
more statements for the extra names etc. I am looking for a method of 
reading the Excel file in the way we have set up with all the alternative 
name being in *one* column, as it would be more efficient for us - 
sometimes we have 10 alternative names but I don't think Microsoft Query 
can handle this. 

I don't know if you have any further thoughts on this or know how others 
have handles this.
Thank you very much for your help, which is always appreciated! 
Lucy

[Arches] Re: Concepts not loaded

[Lucy FJ]

Hi James,

I had the exact same problem and so did some other users. The controlled 
vocabulary, concepts, you are looking for  is supplied by Arches in sample 
authority files but they are stored as sample data and are not 
automatically loaded on installation. There are some 50 files in total and 
they are not particularly generic, the concepts are loosely based on those 
used for the Historic LA project. Most users find that it is easier to 
customize these files and load them into the system instead of using the 
RDM, but it depends on how substantial your changes are. I found it best to 
load the sample authority files (controlled vocabulary) so I could play 
with Arches, to understand better how the concept hierarchies worked. Then 
I also made changes through the RDM which helped further my understanding. 
But I found that making the changes I needed through the RDM (I am making 
an inventory of Egyptian archaeological sites) was time consuming so I 
customized the authority files and started loading them. The installation 
documentation for Arches HIP explains how to edit these files.

If you would like to load the sample files, you should try these steps as 
given to me by another user:

The sample authority files should be here: 

./ENV/lib/python2.7/site-packages/arches_hip/source_
data/sample_data/concepts/sample_authority_files/

In order to make them available for your Project you need to copy them to 
the location specified in the variable  CONCEPT_SCHEME_LOCATIONS in your 
settings.py :

In my case:

CONCEPT_SCHEME_LOCATIONS = (
# Put strings here, like "/home/data/authority_files" or 
"C:/data/authority_files".
# Always use forward slashes, even on Windows.
# Don't forget to use absolute paths, not relative paths.

#'absolute/path/to/authority_files',
os.path.normpath(os.path.join(PACKAGE_ROOT, 'source_data', 'concepts', 
'authority_files')),
)

My project is called defc_site_2_224 and was located under 
/opt/arches3/Projects - so the above setting actually points to the 
following path:
'/opt/arches3/Projects/defc_site_2_224/defc_site_2_224/source_data/concepts/
authority_files'

As stated above you can put the authority files *wherever you want* as long 
as you  write the correct path into  settings.py

When your authority files are in the location you specified in the 
settings.py place you best re-install arches with :

python manage.py packages -o install

I hope this is successful. Please also check the Cat Moody thread on this 
forum as she had the same problem. I am sure more technical people than 
will also provide help if this does not work.

[Arches] Adding concepts to drop down lists through authority document load

[Lucy FJ]

We have created new authority documents for new nodes and they are loading 
correctly and appearing in the concepts list but not in the drop down section 
of the RDM and therefore not in the input forms. We have used 'index' as the 
concept type and in every respect they look like the standard authority 
documents such as cultural period whose concepts do appear in the dropdown 
lists. What are we missing and what do we need to do? 

Thank you, Lucy

Re: [Arches] Diacriticals in authority and .Arches files problems

[Lucy FJ]

Hi Koen,

Thank you for this information. I did tryout some of the suggestions on 
Google for using Excel to create UTF-8 files, because I like using Excel 
and know it well,  but I have tried some and they are over complicated and 
produce a CVS file in UTF-BOM format which I believe will not work in 
Arches. It looks like I will need to download the Openoffice version as you 
suggest. Must all files loading into Arches be UTF-8 only?

[Arches] Diacriticals in authority and .Arches files problems

[Lucy FJ]

Hi all,
We have been loading customised authority files and have noticed that Arches 
rejects words with diacriticals (accents etc). This is not a problem for us as 
we were happy to remove them  and if we really want them we can enter then 
through the RDM. But will this problem occur when loading resource data through 
.arches? We need to input place names as alternative names using diacriticals 
and it would be much easier if we can do this via .arches files. We know we can 
input them using the resource data manager but obviously when dealing with 
about 3000 entries,,this is time consuming. 
Any ideas?
Lucy

RE: [Arches] Re: Standards and adding subsets of Cultural Period

[Lucy FJ]

Hi Phil and all, 

I answered Phil personally on this one forgetting I had put it on the forum. I 
am answering here in case it is of help to other users. 
The ability to create hierarchies of concepts is a very powerful feature in 
Arches and one we would have liked to use for cultural period on our Egyptian 
sites inventory but our problem is that we have about 15 cultural periods, 31+ 
dynasties and 188 rulers and these are only the important ones! This would 
create an enormous drop down list which is confusing to users and difficult to 
manipulate. I know it can be searched but the rulers names are similar and you 
would need to check you had the correct dynasty etc so for the sake of user 
friendliness we are going to try the separate  input fields and authority files 
approach. We hope to restrict the drop down list of dynasties to those relevant 
to the cultural period etc.

[Arches] Re: IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONS–-A LIST

[Lucy FJ]

Hi Alison and Adam,

I hope you have enjoyed/are enjoying the festive season! 

This is a very useful document to have - thank you, Adam -  and as we are 
just about a reinstall the latest release of Arches and make 
customizations, (and remove our test data) I just wish to clarify the order 
of events when customizing Arches. The document states that: 
*Changes to the resource graphs will require a database reinstall, and 
possibly new controlled vocabularies, so this effort should be made at the 
beginning of the installation process.* 
Does this mean we must update the graphs before reinstalling the new 
release of Arches, or of  Arches HIP, or before inputting any heritage 
resource data? 


Thank you very much for clarifying. 
Lucy

[Arches] Map Extent Query/Problem

[Lucy FJ]

Hi everybody,

I have a question about map extent. I am not sure exactly what it is used 
for.
I assumed that this would limit the view of the map to the area of your 
project's interest, in our case Egypt. I calculated the coordinates for 
maximum and minimum northern, southern , eastern and western points and 
used the conversion tool given in the Arches installation instructions to 
convert to the Mercator projection, to  show only ancient Egypt, which 
includes part of modern northern Sudan, but not modern Libya. However, my 
map includes modern Libya, the southern Mediterranean and most of Saudi 
Arabia! Is this correct?

This is not really a problem. But we do have a problem with trying to zoom 
into two sites on the Red Sea, the eastern limit of our 'extent'. I have 
circled them on the attached png. When we attempt to zoom in, the map moves 
west and we are not able to move east to find our sites. because the map 
appears to 'jump' away from the sites when trying to move the map east. 
This also happens to sites at the southern limit but not at the western 
limit or northern limit. 

Has anybody else found this problem? Any suggestions. I have recalculated 
our extent points several times.

Thank you and best wishes for the festive season and Happy New Year!

Lucy

Re: [Arches] Best practices for place data not meant for publication

[Lucy FJ]

Hi Adam and Angela,

We would be very interested in knowing how to do this too. In fact, I 
thought this had already been planned as a function of Arches? 

Thank you very much Angela, for raising the issue and thank you for Adam, 
in advance, for your suggestions.

[Arches] Cannot delete a concept when no longer being used by a resource

[Lucy FJ]

Hi all,

 I wonder if anyone else has found this problem: I entered some heritage 
resources using the Resource data manager which used some concepts that 
were in the sample authority files. I then deleted these heritage resources 
and tried to delete the concept that I had previously input (in order to 
put our own in). But the RDM would not let me, stating that 'the concept is 
being used by one or more heritage resources'. But when searching for them, 
they definitely do not exist on the database. Likewise, I had created some 
'types' for the External cross Reference and would now like to delete these 
and enter them to a more appropriate part of the database. But despite, 
removing the references from all the heritage resources using these types, 
I cannot delete the concept. 

Any suggestions? 

Thank you, Lucy

Re: [Arches] Re: Authority Files and Mandatory Input Fields

[Lucy FJ]

Hi Adam,

Thank you for your reply. On consideration, we don't wish to completely 
change the structure of the database, but we do wish to add new data fields 
(nodes and edges) and change some labels on the input forms.

 I do have a question on keeping to standards. On the Heritage Resource E18 
graph, Place, E53 has a branch to 'Administrative Sub division.E48' which 
has an 'Administrative_Subdivision_Type E.55 and a corresponding authority 
file. We would like to put in Egyptian Governorates  as our only 
administrative sub division and have a drop down list of those 
governorates. Can we simply use the 'Administrative_Subdivision_Type.E55' 
for the list of Governorates, and remove the 'name' box on the form? It 
seems that this is bending the rules. Alternatively, do we need to remove 
the' Administrative Subdivision Type E55' and simply relate a mew authoirty 
file containing the governorates to the Administrative Subdivision.E48 node?


Thank you very much, Lucy

[Arches] Re: Possible Errors in Resources Data manager input forms (Heritage input)

[Lucy FJ]

I have answered point one myself. It does seem to be possible to change the 
name used by Arches for a heritage resource simply by deleting them and 
inputting the gain in the correct order, but it doesn't always work!

[Arches] Possible Errors in Resources Data manager input forms (Heritage input)

[Lucy FJ]

Hi all,

1. I would like to report a possible error in the Resources data manager, 
heritage resource input form, Site summary section:

Firstly, when you input the resource name you have to enter the primary 
name first and then other names in that order for the primary name to be 
used as the name of the resource and for the primary name  to appear on the 
map. Is this correct? I believe in older versions of Arches, the primary 
name had a special meaning and would be always be used as the name of the 
resource. 
Secondly, if you forget to enter the names in this order and try later to 
edit the resource to correct it, you must delete the resource and start 
again, it is not possible to simply delete the names and input again 
putting the primary one first. This does seem to make sense as I can see 
that the resource name would be difficult to simply amend. Is this how 
Arches is supposed to work? 

2. Location:  when inputting the location, by adding geometry to the map, 
it is not possible to view the longitude/latitude  so it is impossible to 
locate a place correctly. I realize that most users will enter the 
coordinates in batch mode or by using the .gpx file but it might be useful 
to have that information there.  

3. Description:the text box for inputting the description only appears if I 
have set up 3 description types, these can be any, I believe. We only need 
one type, and it seems strange that you need to put in three. Also, when I 
copy the text from an Excel file, it is not possible to reformat the text, 
so it appears just as it is in the file, a narrow, long entry. 


Thank you, Lucy

Re: [Arches] Database Error

[Lucy FJ]

Hi Alexei and all,

I just want to report that Soumaia fixed this problem and we are now able 
to put a place on the map. She did all that was suggested above and used 
the Postgis 2.0 version instead of postgis 2.1, but it still did not work 
so she looked up the error in google and came across similar problems in 
other django applications. The answer was to install one line of code in 
the settings.py files in our custom database directory: 

DATABASES['default']['ENGINE'] = 'django.contrib.gis.db.backends.postgis



I hope this may be of use to other users.

 Lucy

 Dear Alexei,
thanks for your response. I have already changed the settings.py 
 file to include postgis_2.1
 Also, I have changed the default map zoom to 9 and the map default 
 coordinates and border points. Then I have run  python manage.py 
 runserver, 
 but that made no changes on the website. 

 I wonder if registering a key on bing maps is a must that the website 
 will not respond to our map new settings without it.
 Also, we have checked editing the location of one of the historic 
 resources and we received the below error. Any suggestions? Thanks

[Arches] Thank you to the Arches developers

[Lucy FJ]

Hi all, 

We made a breakthrough in our Egyptian database project last week (see 
other post under database error), which meant that we can start loading 
test data and I was able to show Arches to Dr. Weeks who is very happy with 
it. We still have a long way to go and I will be asking lots more questions 
but we can see the way forward now. So thank you much to the development 
team for producing such a useful and well thought out product! 

Lucy

Re: [Arches] Re: Authority Files and Mandatory Input Fields

[Lucy FJ]

HI Adam,

Sorry for this late thank you but we made a breakthrough in our Arches 
project last week (see separate post) and I was showing the project to my 
manager. 
Your answer is helpful but I am still not sure about authority files that 
we will not be using. if we change the files themselves as you suggest 
prior to installation, should we simply delete the information in the 
authority files we are not using or not load them? 

Thank you, 
Lucy

[Arches] Authority Files and Mandatory Input Fields

[Lucy FJ]

Hello all,

I have two unrelated questions: 

1. I have modified several authority files through the Reference Data 
Manager and would like to see these modified versions in the database but 
we cannot find them. Where do they reside? 

2. There are many input fields (boxes) on the input forms that we do not 
need but they appear to be mandatory. We have loaded up the sample 
reference data. Is there a simple way to makes these fields optional 
without needing to change the program? i.e. I am looking for a user method 
of being able to ignore these fields. 

Thank you very much for any help,

Lucy

[Arches] RDM: Confusion Between Heritage (Historic) Resource and Resource Classification Authority files

[Lucy FJ]

Dear All,

I thought I'd start a new topic on this so as not to be confused with the 
other question I raised and has now been resolved. 

 I am only using the Reference DM to change the authority files because I 
am a user and we don't have a full time IT staff member assigned to our 
project yet so can't change the files directly.
I used the Arches HIP sample files as a basis and added our concepts for 
the heritage resource type and deleted the sample ones. I did the same for 
the resource classification types. I then added the appropriate concepts to 
the drop down lists for each. When I tried inputting a resource using the 
Resource Data manager, I found that the resource classification drop down 
list was where I expected the heritage resource list and vice versa. The 
concepts were the ones I had input. I have checked, double checked and 
triple checked my inputs and they are correct.
I am attaching copies of the screen shots.

  Has anyone come across this problem before?

Thank you for any help on this issue!

Lucy

[Arches] Heritage Resource and heritage Resource Group Authority Files confusion

[Lucy FJ]

Hi all,

I have been successfully inputting our own authority files through the RDM 
but then came across a strange problem: the heritage *group* type seems to 
be confused with the heritage* resource* type. On checking the 
documentation, the appendices showing each resource graph, I found the same 
thing:
Under the graph:* Heritage Resource E18*,  exists Heritage_Resource
*_group_Type*_Authority Document.E32 but under the graph:* 
Heritage Resource Group. E27* exists *Heritage_Resource_Type_Au*
thority_Document.E32

Surely these should be the other way round? Is the documentation confused, 
the actual installation confused or am I confused? 

Many thanks for your help,

Lucy

[Arches] BING Services key

[Lucy FJ]

Hi everyone,

Here on the Egypt database project we are slowly moving forward. I have a 
question about BING services. In the 'settings' section of the installation 
documentation, 'read the docs', it is suggested that we sign up with BING 
services and obtain a key. What does this actually do? Can Arches run 
without the Bing key? Can we show sites on the map with out this? Are there 
any alternatives? Unfortunately neither I nor anyone in our IT department 
have previous experience in geocoding. 

Thank you for your time,

Lucy

[Arches] Inputting Point Coordinates in Arches 3 and some other basic questions

[Lucy FJ]

Hi everyone,

I have spent a couple of days exploring our brand new Arches 3 installation 
which we will be using for an inventory of Egyptian archaeological sites 
and I have some very basic questions to ask, and would be very grateful for 
any advice:

1. Resource manager: this allows me to input a 'historic resource', 
'historic district', etc. I was expecting to see the more generic term 
'Cultural Resource' and preferably be able to select 'Archaeological 
Resource'. Are these the default input forms or are there others? Are the 
input forms for 'historic resource' the same as for 'archaeological 
resource' in Arches 3?   

2. Inputting point coordinates: We will be inputting our data from scratch 
(our data is presently in MS Excel) and we have point coordinates for each 
archaeological site and I was rather hoping that we would be able to input 
the point coordinates into the location section of the input form but it 
seems that we can either find the point on the map, which is very time 
consuming and inaccurate (in fact I do not see any coordinates at the 
bottom of the map to aid in locating the position, as previous versions of 
Arches had, so we would not know where to place the point) or load a gmx, 
kml or geojson file. I have looked into gmx files and found some open 
source software that will create such a file. Do we need to create a 
separate file for each resource? As we only have latitude and longitude, no 
elevation, which format is the most suitable for our use? How have other 
users dealt with this problem? 

3. Historic District: Perhaps the archaeological resource input forms are 
different but we would like to use the group feature to input a very 
extensive site such as the Pyramids of Giza. For instance to input Giza as 
an 'archaeological zone' and relate each separate pyramid, temple and other 
structure to it to show it clearly as a group. When I look at 'Historic 
District' I don't see an obvious way of grouping these resources. Do we 
simply use the 'related resources' section to relate each separate site to 
the 'zone'? How have other users handled this?  

4. Historic resource Type and Classification type: again perhaps this is a 
function of having the wrong input forms but we anticipated inputting an 
archaeological resource type (eg. temple, fortification, cemetery etc) 
associated with each cultural period (in our case, 'Old Kingdom', 'Roman' 
etc) so I do not know why there there seems to be an overall historic type 
and a classification type. As most of our sites are multi use over several 
centuries, we cannot describe them with one resource type. How have others 
dealt with this? 

I'm sorry to ask such basic questions but any help would be gratefully 
received!

Lucy

[Arches] Python language

[Lucy FJ]

Hi everyone,

I understand that Arches is written using Python. If we need to customize 
Arches to suit our database (we mostly need to add some new data fields and 
amend the reports), we would need a Python programmer. We may not have 
anyone familiar with Python in our IT department. Are there any similar 
languages to Python? Can you add code in a different language that would 
work with Python?

Thank you for your help, 
Lucy

[Arches] Re: Using Search in Arches V3

[Lucy FJ]

Thank you very much, Dennis.

 I have another question on searching for names with letters that have 
diacritical marks above them, like the umlaut (sp?) in German. 
Transliterations of Arabic names of Egyptian historical sites should use 
diacritical marks and apostrophes  e.g.

*Ma‛ādī, Al, *so we would like to input this as the primary name. Would a 
search under the more usual western form *'Maadi, Al*' find this name, or 
would we need to input 'Maadi, Al' as a name variant? I have tried this in 
Google and it seems to be able to find the name with diacriticals sometimes 
but not always. These are different Hex/ UTF  character codes so it may not 
work.

Thank you, Lucy

[Arches] Using Search in Arches V3

[Lucy FJ]

I have a question about using the search function in Release 3, which may 
be daft but I just wanted to check. 
I understand from the Information Session in Cyprus in November that the 
search function is going to be as similar to Google as possible. Does this 
mean, for example that if I enter the resource site name * Abu Hawr *in the 
search field it will pick up the site with the primary name* 'Abu Hawr 
(with the apostrophe at the beginning,) *or would we need to add a resource 
alternative name *Abu Hawr. *

Also have our database initially into Excel which enables us to input 
special characters which are not on a regular keyboard. When inputting into 
Arches, presumably we can only copy and paste these names unless we have 
the appropriate keyboard or will the new UI enable special characters to be 
input? 

Thank you.

[Arches] Re: Arches Version 3 Release Date

[Lucy FJ]

Thank you very much, Dennis and Alison. 

We are now considering preparing our server for installing Arches on it. 
The Installation manual for Release 2 gives the system dependencies and 
requirements for installing it. Are these dependencies and requirements the 
same for Release 3? 

Arches can be installed on Linus or Windows. Can you say which is a better 
environment? 

Thank you very much, 
Lucy

Re: [Arches] coordinate format used in Arches

[Lucy FJ]

Hi Adam,

I have a further question on the coordinates format in Arches. 
In Version 3 Arches, I understand we will be able to input our own 
coordinates, will these coordinates also need to be input in the order 
longitude, Latitude? 

Thank you very much.

[Arches] Re: Signing in

[Lucy FJ]

Hi everyone,

I am working for the Theban Mapping project and we are going to adopt 
Arches version 3 for a database of all archaeological sites and monuments 
in Egypt. 
I have an Archaeology degree and have worked with commercial software as a 
project manager/analyst and also have website design experience.
I am working in New Cairo, Egypt on the Campus of the American University 
in Cairo. This is a very beautiful, new campus in the desert some 20 miles 
from downtown Cairo. 
I would like to say that I can see the Great Pyramids from my window but I 
cannot. However, I can see some beautiful modern Islamic architecture, palm 
trees and lots of sand!
