I just updated to the v2 beta of Exhibit. My Sweet Tools listing (http://www.mkbergman.com/?page_id=325) is perhaps different than some in that its source data is obtained from a Google spreadsheet and it is published within WordPress.
The migration went smoothly, and the migration instructions (http://simile.mit.edu/wiki/Exhibit/2.0/Migration) were easy to follow. However: 1. I first needed to make reference to the spreadsheet in new v. 2.0 style; see http://simile.mit.edu/mediawiki/index.php?title=Exhibit/How_to_make_an_exhibit_from_data_fed_directly_from_a_Google_Spreadsheet&action=edit§ion=5 2. Then, unlike the migration instructions, I needed to change (for example) <body ex:ondataload = "window.exhibit = Exhibit.create('President');">, which was actually closer to <body onload = "Exhibit.create (null, null).loadGoogleSpreadsheetsData('http://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/o15870720903820235800.6608843240919541064/od6/public/basic');"> in my case, to *simply* <body>. Then, the migration instructions say to insert a replacement. This does *not* work for Google spreadsheets; do not insert anything. 3. I also needed to trap and substitute for when ampersands occur in URLs for the RDF exporter (instructions not provided herein; likely not applicable to many). 4. Also, I would like to know how to adjust the properties (valign, for example) of the ol/li record number to the left of the exhibit-titleView-body class. I have not updated the Simile wiki with these changes or instructions because I do not know how universal they may be and don't want to mess up the current announcements and all that accompanies it. I'll leave that up to the various project folks. :) Nonetheless, this was a fairly complicated migration, an unusual environment, and much tailored CSS and other local stuff. Nice job, Simile, and David! (BTW, David, congratulations on the new Ph.D.! ;) ) Mike _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://simile.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/general
