Re: [Sugar-devel] GetBooks Offline Support

2016-08-01 Thread Ütkarsh Tiwari 
Hi,
I have finally added the 'Gutenberg Collection' support to GetBooks
activity. Refer the gif links below for UI demonstrations.

Gif 1-  The offline downloaded 'Gutenberg' collection is in the form of
.html files which would be read in 'Browse' activity after download. For
that you need to add 'text/html' mime_type to your 'Browse' activity.info file.
-> http://imgur.com/a/833K9

Gif 2- The offline downloaded 'Rachel' book collection is in .pdf format
which would be read in 'Read' activity after download. The mime_type is
pre-set. -> http://imgur.com/a/b7vtc

Utkarsh Tiwari

Hi, Gonzalo

It may require a separate interface for direct html urls.

Hi, Utkarsh

I am not sure what question you are asking.

Looking at the code: the repositories seem to be defined
in get-books.cfg.

The actual mechanics of accessing the network appears to
be handled by 'feedparse', which is a python module
described at
https://pythonhosted.org/feedparser/introduction.html.

What are you trying to do and what is your problem with
it? Did you add a repository to get-books.cfg? DId it
show up as you expected in the
toolbar widget? What happens if you select it? Does it
show the catalogs you entered? What happens if you select
a catalog? Does it show a list of books?
What happens when you click on a book - does it get
downloaded to the Journal?

My suggestion is to add Rachel as an online repository
getting the books from its site as a first step. Once
that is working, changing the urls to local should be
easier to test since you would already know what to
expect.

http://rachelfriends.org/previews/rachelplus/modules/en-ebooks/index.html
is the site for Gutenberg. Each of the links on that page
could be a catalog. Then clicking on one to show the list
of books in the right panel.

Hi, Gonzalo

From the code, GetBooks uses feedparser. Pathagar is a server while 
GetBooks is a client. In this case, Utkarsh is delivering the content by

Re: [Sugar-devel] GetBooks Offline Support

2016-07-19 Thread Tony Anderson 

Hi, Utkarsh

First, I would test the server. Put a simple index.html file in the 
server/ directory:





test


TEST



See that this displays in your browser at

http://127.0.0.1:8000/server/index.html

This will ensure the directory permissions are ok that the html server 
is working.


If that is ok, then the error message. Usually, I grep for something 
like 'error downloading' to see where the error message originates.


I assume that the get-books.cfg shows the collection in the combobox on 
the toolbar and that clicking on that shows the categories you have 
defined.


By the way: I assume htmlf is a typo. Also you are probably running 
SimpleHTTPServer in a command line window. This window should show any 
error messages. Since the base code is python, you can also add print 
statements which will appear in the window (stdout).

Re: [Sugar-devel] GetBooks Offline Support

2016-07-19 Thread Tony Anderson 

Hi, Utkarsh

I am not sure what question you are asking.

Looking at the code: the repositories seem to be defined in get-books.cfg.

The actual mechanics of accessing the network appears to be handled by 
'feedparse', which is a python module described at

https://pythonhosted.org/feedparser/introduction.html.

What are you trying to do and what is your problem with it? Did you add 
a repository to get-books.cfg? DId it show up as you expected in the
toolbar widget? What happens if you select it? Does it show the catalogs 
you entered? What happens if you select a catalog? Does it show a list 
of books?
What happens when you click on a book - does it get downloaded to the 
Journal?


My suggestion is to add Rachel as an online repository getting the books 
from its site as a first step. Once that is working, changing the urls 
to local should be easier to test since you would already know what to 
expect. 
http://rachelfriends.org/previews/rachelplus/modules/en-ebooks/index.html is 
the site for Gutenberg. Each of the links on that page could be a 
catalog. Then clicking on one to show the list of books in the right panel.

Hi,
I am working on this feature of adding offline support to GetBooks 
activity to allow users to connect to schoolservers for offline 
books(stored on these servers) support. I am not able to figure out 
what modifications I need to make in the parsing technique of the 
activity in order to fetch(probably via localhost server) the books 
from Gutenberg, Rachel collections which I have already downloaded 
onto my harddisk.


Could anyone here please point me in the right direction?
