Overview ------------ Finished up javascript code generation Began work on CSS code generation
Well, this is my last official weekly status report for OLArchitect for GSoC 2008. I will, however, submit a final status report on Sunday night as the project deadline is monday, and once the summer of code is over I will still work on the project and I will maintain updates on my blog / less frequent updates here. Before I begin, I want to thank Chris Schmidt for all the great help he's given and I couldn't have asked for a better mentor. I wish I had his time management skills. I'd also like to thank Tim Schaub and Cameron Shorter for their assistance. This past week I've made a lot of progress with the project, and apart from some testing in IE I am nearly finished. The biggest goal I accomplished this past week was finishing up the javascript code generation. The project now (nearly) works as it was designed to - the map can be configured, layers can be created, and controls can be added. There are still some minor tweaks I'd like to do, but overall it works as it was originally intended to. Some advanced configuration options are not yet implemented, but advanced configuration is outside the scope of the GSoC project. Most of the examples that come with OpenLayers can be replicated in OLArchitect's current state. There are a few things that currently do not work fully and a few things that I do not forsee working before the project deadline. 1. Position of controls within panels -Currently, panel location is configurable but control position within the panels are not. The controls within panels work, but their position is for now limited to being placed sequentially one after another. 2. Theme Creation -I was skeptical from the beginning if I would have time to finish the theme creation aspect of the project, and I do not think that it will be implemented in time. This means that some controls may be limited in their position to their default position. My project has deviated quite a bit from the original outline I submitted, but I feel that all the changes that have been made have been for the better. Some of the original functionality has been phased out, but overall I feel that the project has been a success. There is still nearly a week before the deadline, and still time to make even more progress. I plan to accomplish the following by monday: TODO -Ensure javascript code generation works for most the examples that come with OpenLayers -Make sure things don't break terribly in IE -Get as far as possible with theme / CSS code generation -Debug, tweak and polish. The base functionality is in place, but I want to clean it up and make it more user friendly, since this is an application geared towards people with little to no programming background. I'll be giving a final update sunday night.
