1. I have to create a new MRML client system from scratch which takes
all user preferences into account and
keeps track of all selected images ( wanted / unwanted ) before forming
the "real" query for the gift.
Doesn't the "original" (not the monosock) php-demo-client store such
info as hidden-variables in the html forms?
yes, that's true but it doesn't help much. It is only of value as long
as the user is seeing
the thumbnails which are displayed by the mrml output client script.
Try to imagine the users click path:
- search images ( query )
- get search results ( page with gift results as thumbnails )
-- now the users wants to see the article and clicks on the thumbnails which
will redirect him to the article page
-- now the users want's to go back to the search results because this
article
was not what he was looking for.
the last step will always fail if you deploy the system with hidden
input fields, because
the former page used to be a posted one so the browser will not go back.
The only way to
solve this problem is to store what the user selected before - either in
gift itself ( which
is deprecated ) or somewhere inbetween.
2. In order to change the way images are matched I have to fiddle
around with the settings of Classical IDF.
I think I have to tweak the settings in gift-config, right ? But where
exactly shall I begin ? Wolfgang, you said
something about a "configuring and hacking the gift" guide as a
starting point. Where can we find it ?
Those settings can be set by the mrml client. But perhaps the defaults
can be set elsewhere... Using the demo-php-client I was able to toggle
four options and set a pruning level, for classical IDF.
I used that to play around before I wrote my own highly specific (hard
coded collections, parameters, etc) mrml-client that does what I need
and nothing more.
Do you happen to have any examples regarding this ?
3. The image append function and more real-life based options for speed
and convenience ( as listed by Jonas )
are not yet implented in gift-add-collection.pl
True, but appending can be done by performing the steps "manually", so
it should be pretty easy to assemble a non-generic script for your
specific needs.
As for speed... I haven't tried any similar commercial systems, but
considering its price, I'm quite happy with the GIFT... :-)
So am I. For an open source project the gift has enormous potential and
real value. I wouldn't dive into it
if I thought it was just crap ;) My only problem is perl, because it is
very hard for me to transcend the perl / php
barrier...
