Re: [Time-table-devl] Time-table interface.

[graeme <fos...@gm...>]

Indeed, I'm going to throw together a proper front page with a connection
menu item and from there the ability to open the administrative screens,
also from a menu. I should have it ready by early next week (or maybe over
the weekend?). However I'm still not certain what the status is with the CV=
S
on sourceforge.

Anyway I'll keep you all updated.

cheers,

The widget can have a button to connect/disconnect from database.

Re: [Time-table-devl] Time-table interface.

[graeme <fos...@gm...>]

That makes some sense, unfortunately there is no quick way around that at
the moment because the main program loads the data from the database and
then the main window (called controlPanel) expects the data to be there.

Two approaches that I can think of
1) A a proper main window and then the controlPanel is loaded when the
connection is made
2) Adjust the code so the controlPanel can load without the need for the
data being loaded into the app.

I prefer the first approach, but what do you think?

[Time-table-devl] Time-table interface.

[Vl M. <mr...@ya...>]

Hello all. 
I have loaded have compiled a code on March, 26th. But
could not start the program. I havn't installed DB. I
think, that the user should have an opportunity to get
access to the interface of the program.Using the
interface, the user will adjust connection to a
database and will test it. How to you this idea?

[Time-table-devl] Home page notes

[graeme <fos...@gm...>]

Hi folks,

I've been spending a little time on the home page, all under the
documentation section. I've added a rough section on compiling the code
under Linux and under Windows. So please check it out and report any errors=
,
confusing points etc.

I've also been working some more on the database access model. I have now
completed the code and written it up. I will need to review it again, but I
need a break from it so that I can come back with some fresh eyes. Again
please read it and give me your comments.

Yes I have now finished the remodelling of the database access,
unfortunately source forge had serious problems with the CVS over the last
week or so. To code is there but not yet available, their estimate is that
the anon and developer versions of CVS will be synchronised within the next
day or so.

I would really appreciate people telling me what they would like to do,
which areas, if you're not certain I have hundreds of test cases that need
to be written!

all the best,

graeme.

Re: [Time-table-devl] Greetings...

[graeme <fos...@gm...>]

I'd like to pick up on Anil's comments.

1) The program is it intended to be scalable?

I agree that the approach used will have problems for larger sites and so
that is a draw back. I remember thinking about this and wanted to put in a
process that would get the data only when it was required. However I felt
that it was more important to get it working and add that later. I feel tha=
t
by having a single point of getting the data will help with that sort of
implementation, if and when it is put in place. I fully agree with you that
without it the program has limitations, but I wanted to get something
working first (still an objective that is quite a long way away)

However if that is something that you would like to pick up, excellent!
Although I will need to finish my review of the database access model.
(which will hopefully be done by the end of this week)

2) A BEGIN TRANSACTION/COMMIT wouldn't do the job for sync?

No what I want in the long run is to properly manage the following
situation.
person A has update rights, person B has read only rights, they happen to
live in different cities. Both are looking at the data for the Blue
Institute, person A is told the the Blue Institute is to be renamed the
Green Institute and so performs the change. person B doesn't need to do
anything but the new name is pushed onto the system.

Obviously such changes are rare and whilst changes to the actual timetable
are going to be more common I'd like the model to support this update. I'd
suggest that is is done by the client machine occasionally polling the
database to ensure that the data is still all valid. Initially it could sen=
d
timestamps for the database and if that has changed then timestamps for eac=
h
table, if any of those have changed then request the updated data.

That should be fairly easy to implement but once again I don't see it as a
high priority job, but if anyone ins interested in it, or would like me to
explain it further then please let me know.

3) Isn't it better to use an Object/Relational mapping tool?

Eh maybe... I really don't know. Really I just wanted to restrict the numbe=
r
of third party libraries. So I'm not against them but at the time I was
learning Qt I didn't want to have to learn too many things simultaneously.
Also I know that there are a lot of good mapping tools around but I wonder
about their generic nature and would they help. Essentially I'm open to
persuasion but I'm going to bring my buddy scepticism along with me.

I hope that helps to address the issues a little. But just one more point I
want to make very clear. I see the project consisting of a number of
programs. The first is what I consider the administrative program the one
that gets all the raw data. That is the one that has been mostly written.
Then there is the timetable designer which will take that raw data and
design the new timetable, Then there will be a program that will view the
finished timetable (this could be in C++ and or Web based) Finally there
will be a program to generate reports (typically on staff, and student
loads) The way I described the database access model in that it gets all th=
e
data at the start is only valid for the first program.

Re: [Time-table-devl] Status Report April 2nd

[graeme <fos...@gm...>]

Hi,

What I would recommend at the moment is for you to download and compile the
code there are a lot of tasks that need to be done what I would prefer is
for you to decide which area you want to be involved in (at this stage I
would prefer a situation where you are  doing something that interests
rather than me assigning tasks out that may not be of any interest to you.)

If you look through the archives there is an email with a list of (some of
the) tasks that need to be done. Some of these could be tackled as a small
team.

cheers,

graeme.

Hi guys,

I am sorry I haven't been very productive recently due to mid-term and
stuffs. I got the source code and will try to get it run tonight
sometimes. I look around a bit and just want to make sure a few things
so that I can get it work quick

- It is easier to compile under Linux ? I use both XP and Fedora.
- It requires postgresql ? mysql won't work ?
- It requires Qt ?

Hello,

I'd read the documentation and i think it's good to discuss some issues.

It says that the program read all business data onto memory. The program 
is intended to scalable? How many stakeholders will use the program? If 
a user alters a data when this going to be write? A BEGIN 
TRANSACTION/COMMIT wouldn't do the job for sync? Isnt better to use an 
Object/Relational mapping tool?

Now i'm busy but in the end of the day i will study the source code with 
the documentation.

Re: [Time-table-devl] Trouble with CVS

[graeme @ g. <fos...@gm...>]

Okay I've managed to get it to compile under Windows just using the 
command line.

Here is what I did.

   1. Download the Qt.exe the file name was qt-win-opensource-4.1.1-mingw
   2. Install the above
         1. When it asks if I want to download and install mingw I accept
   3.  From the Start > Qt by TrollTech v4.1.1 (OpenSource) > Qt 4.1.1
      (Build Debug Libraries)
   4.  From the Start > Qt by TrollTech v4.1.1 (OpenSource) > Qt 4.1.1
      Command Prompt
   5.  From within the command prompt navigate to the directory with the
      downloaded time-table source code
         1. At the prompt I did >cd C:/time-table
   6. At the prompt run  >qmake
   7. Followed by >make

The downloaded version is a debug hence you will need the debug 
libraries. If you want release then you will want to edit the makefile 
however a quick way to do it is by editing the Makefile.debug and 
editing the LIBS (line 23?) by removing the last d in the four qt 
libraries, -lqtmain -lQtSql4 -lQtGui4 -lQtCore4

The binary will then run but give you an error message because the 
driver hasn't been loaded. This is because it requires the pgSQL driver. 
(That's my next task!)

Hope that helps you.

I've just had a look at the trolltech web site and it states that they do
not support the open source version with the MS compiler. I would suggest
the you look at DevC++ from http://www.bloodshed.net/download.html and I'll
look more into this tomorrow.

The reason I want to put the logic there is so that when a web interface is
built - much later down the road - the logic that protects the data doesn't
need to be duplicated. Also using functions to present the data protects

[Time-table-devl] Finally i got it running

[Anil M. <am...@me...>]

Hi.

Before we start i think we should (the new coders) learn the application 
requirements and the purpouse, make some use cases and UML diagrams and 
think about the persistence and domain model. There are some frameworks 
that map database tables into objects. This would be nice. We could put 
business logic on domain model.

[Time-table-devl] Tasks

[graeme f. <fos...@gm...>]

Hi,

We are now six, with Vl Merenkov joining us.
So I thought that I should list a few of the tasks that need to be tackled.
What is there at the moment is the screens (mostly) to enter the data
necessary to start work on the timetable, but not yet the creation of the
timetable.

Configuration manager
Installation scripts from source
Package manager bundled
Log in, log out and splash screen
Windows compile
Windows Installation
Database interface
Creation of the timetable

Before I explain what I am doing I think I need to say a little about the
code. The Source code is divided into seven folder, I'll briefly talk about
the DataClasses, ItemClasses, ModelClasses and Persistence directories.

   - DataClasses  - This directory holds all the classes that mirror the
   tables in the database
   - ItemClasses  - This directory holds all the classes item classes,
   this is a Qt concept that acts as a container for the dataclasses
   - ModelClasses  - This directory holds all the classes model classes,
   again this is a Qt concept and is used to keep all GUI views of the data
   synchronised
   - Persistence  - This directory holds all the classes that access the
   database.

I am currently working on a rework of the database interface. This involves
the classes in the Persistence folders. I know that it was a botch job that
I did, I just didn't realise how bad it was! Anyway the idea is that when I
have completed it these classes will act as a single path to the database a=
t
to the data that is currently held in program data structures. Whilst I
might not implement it at the moment I want to enable it to support
multi-user updates. So if two users are modifying the system it will be
reflected on the system it is very hard to get this right 100% of the time
but I'd settle for a solution that will work most of the time, but like I
said I'll probably not implement that this time around but I do want the
rework that I'm doing to be able to support it seamlessly.

I'm currently changing sql.cpp and this has had a big knock on effect with
the classes in the DataClass folder. Mainly because I was cheating and
getting the data from the database directly this will all change and the ai=
m
is to get all SQL commands out of the code that doesn't reside in the
Persistence folder with just function names in the classes that reside in
the DataClass directory.

Anyway the list of tasks is far from complete but I'd suggest that we
discuss how best to allocate the work. As I said some of the jobs are bigge=
r
or more complex that others. I've not tried to rank them, nor have I
included everything so if there is something missing that interests you
please mention it and we can look into it.

cheers,

graeme.

Re: [Time-table-devl] SQL Commands instead of a dump

[graeme f. <fos...@gm...>]

The command that I used to configure qt was (I think) Obviously you will
need to check the pathson your system.

./configure -qt-sql-psql -I/usr/local/pgsql/include -L/usr/local/pgsql/lib

just give me a bit of time and I'll set it all up on another computer.

Re: [Time-table-devl] SQL Commands instead of a dump

[graeme f. <fos...@gm...>]

That's because (I think) it can't find the configuration file. The file tha=
t
loads it is main.cpp function initDB(). If you place some diagnostics there
then it should verify what is being read.

Just thought the config file has the name of the user, you will probably
need to change that. Also check the database name.
