Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009MEPrints layout manager
Thursday, May 28th, 2009we had a big hoo harr about how profile pages should layout. in the interest of not working two hard we decided to make a layout manager plugin so that people can write thier own custom layouts if they want. weve settled for simple 1 or 2 collum layouts by default.
MEPrints requirements
Wednesday, April 15th, 2009Following the last blog we concluded that MEPrints needs to:
be a plugin system for eprints.
the Profile will be a plugin and then each element of it will be a Plugin called a widget (a la igoogle )
The Profile frame work should have an inwards facing “Home page” for the user which has their information and statistics available. The user controls what is displayed in their home page.
The Profile framework should also include and outward facing “Profile page” the contents of which is controlled by the repository administrator. The profile page is accessible to the internet in the same way as a an eprint in the archive.
the work for the week is:
- build the Profile framework for dynamically loading plugins
- make the default widgets (personal picture, user details, user tools)
