v3.8.2
6th February 2008
Focus: Minor feature enhancements and bug fixes.
FEATURE ENHANCEMENTS:
1/ As administrator, when merging creators, the target creator may now be chosen from a list.
2/ Added attachment and peer review checkboxes to Quick Search as exist for Select.
3/ When listing or selecting resources, resources may now be chosen by 'last added by' or 'last edited by'.
4/ When viewing a single resource, any user bibliographies containing that resource are also listed.
5/ Improved the display of the new resource form.
BUG FIXES:
1/ When deleting a basket of resources, the user is now asked for confirmation.
2/ Non-numeric page numbers are now imported without change.
3/ Fixed an occasional display problem with search highlighting.
4/ Fixed a regular expression error with some PHP versions that resulted in BBCode failing.
v3.8.1
7th December 2007
Focus: Minor feature enhancements and bug fixes.
FEATURE ENHANCEMENTS:
1/ Added $WIKINDX_MAIL_RETURN_PATH to config.php to enable a return path to be added to email messages.
BUG FIXES:
1/ When browsing collections by a particular type, the type was lost when clicking on a paging link. No more.
v3.8
27th October 2007
NB
1/ If you have an existing WIKINDX, this release UPGRADES the database structure. BACKUP YOUR DATABASE FIRST (and read INSTALL and UPDATEWIKINDX prior to running WIKINDX for the first time).
2/ Because of amendments to the bibliographic/citation templating system (the conference_paper resource type no longer has the 'publicationYear' field but has conference fields instead and web_article has additional fields); administrators who have created their own style should, after installing v3.8, open, edit (with changes if necessary) and save their styles in the WIKINDX style editor before using them.
Focus: Major feature enhancements and bug fixes.
FEATURE ENHANCEMENTS:
1/ Added the COinS subset of OpenUrl for using with Zotero. When browsing a list or viewing a single resource and using a COinS-compatible web browser (such as later versions of Firefox and Navigator), the resources shown may be imported into Zotero. NB -- OpenUrl has a very limited set of resources types; consequently, the resource type may change from WIKINDX to Zotero.
2/ Added `publicationDay` and `publicationMonth` fields to the resourceType 'web_article' so that this type may be used for online newspaper and magazine articles.
3/ In bibliographic styles, 'URL' is now a valid field for all resource types.
4/ When importing or pasting bibTeX files, the user may now specify the title/subtitle separator from a range of options.
5/ In My Wikindx, enhanced the options for email notification of added/edited resources so that it is now possible to request a digest.
BUG FIXES:
1/ The input/edit form for the resource type 'conference_paper' has been amended to reflect its unpublished status and the conference details.
2/ Fixed a NULL write bug when used on some newer MySQL versions.
3/ When importing a large bibTeX file in chunks, duplicate creators were sometimes added to the database. This has been fixed.
4/ Fixed a bug where journal articles in Endnote v7 XML files were not imported.
5/ When displaying proceedings_articles, the publisher ID from the database was also shown. This has been fixed.
v3.7.1
19th August 2007
Focus: Minor feature enhancements and bug fixes.
FEATURE ENHANCEMENTS:
1/ Added a 'number of pages' field to the book and thesis resource types.
BUG FIXES:
1/ Fixed a warning about $WIKINDX_MEMORY_LIMIT in config.php
2/ Fixed the RSS feed.
v3.7
30th July 2007
NB
1/ If you have an existing WIKINDX, this release UPGRADES the database structure. BACKUP YOUR DATABASE FIRST (and read INSTALL and UPDATEWIKINDX prior to running WIKINDX for the first time).
Focus: Feature enhancements and minor bug fixes.
FEATURE ENHANCEMENTS:
1/ Added hooks for integrating some aspects of WIKINDX into a Content Management System (CMS). See README_CMS.
2/ When viewing lists of resources, display a hyperlink to a pop-up window to generate a CMS 'replacement tag' for each resource -- the display includes the WIKINDX ID of the resource. For those who have created their own templates, the new CSS class 'cssLink' controls the visual display. The option to display the icon may be set in user preferences (off by default).
3/ Added $WIKINDX_MEMORY_LIMIT to config.php. WIKINDX usually runs with the standard PHP memory_limit of 8MB. With some PHP configurations, however, this is not enough -- a mysterious blank page is often the result. If you are unable to update php.ini's memory_limit yourself, $WIKINDX_MEMORY_LIMIT may be set (an integer followed by 'M'). Despite the PHP manual stating that this may not be set outside of php.ini, it has been reported on the WIKINDX sourceforge forum that it does work in some cases. It is not, however, guaranteed to work and editing php.ini is the preferred method.
4/ Added a Digital Object Identifier (http://doi.org) field to resources.
5/ Improved the file downloading abilities for large attachments.
6/ Added $WIKINDX_RSS_ALLOW to config.php to control RSS access. The default is TRUE.
7/ When viewing lists of resources, display an icon to view the bibtex version of each resource. For those who have created their own templates, there is a new icon to add: wikindx3/templates/xxxx/icons/bibtex.gif. The option to display the icon may be set in user preferences (off by default).
8/ When viewing a bibliographic list ordered by either 'creator' or 'title', WIKINDX Preferences may be set to display alphabetic links instead of the numerical paging links.
8/ The colours and font sizes used in tag clouds (for example, browsing keywords from the Resource menu) may now be fine-tuned through a combination of CSS classes and variables set in config.php.
9/ Added an editor field to both web_site and web_article resource types.
10/ Added the resource types web_encyclopedia and web_encyclopedia_article.
11/ For certain types of resources, the resource may be tagged as peer reviewed.
BUG FIXES:
1/ Fixed a minor bug in the display of attachments following Quick Search and Select where attachments only are to be displayed.
2/ Changed the checking of input for UTF-8 compliance as per bug: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1743210&group_id=94435&atid=607910
3/ Fixed a bug in the authorization code giving access to RSS users under some circumstances as per bug:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1743202&group_id=94435&atid=607910
4/ When importing the pages fields of bibTex or Endnote, values such as '146,49' or '1345-59' are now correctly converted to pp.146-149 and pp. 1345-1359.
5/ Fixed a javascript bug causing errors in the SUWP when using either the Simple or Green Marble templates
v3.6.5
3rd June 2007
Focus: Feature enhancements and minor bug fixes.
FEATURE ENHANCEMENTS:
1/ Some bibTeX files (e.g. PubMed) use the non-standard bibtex field of 'ISSUE' to store the issue number of a journal for the @article and @inproceedings type. Previously, the user was invited to map this to a WIKINDX field when importing the file. It is now automatically mapped to the journal number field.
2/ From Quick Search and Select, it is now possible to display a hyperlinked list of only the attachments the found resources have. Additionally, on a *NIX system (assuming /usr/bin/gzip and /bin/tar), these attachments may be optionally tarred and gzipped.
BUG FIXES:
1/ Quick Search: Fixed searching on more than one creator surname where the search method is 'AND'.
2/ Fixed a bug with the paging links when browsing collections.
v3.6.4
13th May 2007
Focus Feature enhancements and minor bug fixes.
FEATURE ENHANCEMENTS:
1/ Added $WIKINDX_GLOBAL_EDIT to config.php. If $WIKINDX_GLOBAL_EDIT is TRUE, all write-enabled users may use the Edit menu to globally edit creators, publishers, collections and keywords. If FALSE, only the admin may do this. The default is TRUE.
2/ Keywords and categories may be edited directly when viewing a single resource.
BUG FIXES:
1/ Write-enabled users may now paste bibtex files once more (broken in v3.6.2).
v3.6.3
2nd May 2007
Focus Minor bug fixes.
BUG FIXES:
1/ When browsing tag clouds of publishers, in some cases the displayed publisher name reported no resources when clicked. This has been fixed.
2/ When pasting a bibTeX file, users are now prompted to map unrecognized fields to wikindx fields (as with importing a bibTeX bibliography).
Other minor bug fixes.
v3.6.2
28th April 2007
Focus: Minor feature enhancements, minor bug fixes and a workaround for some PHP configurations.
FEATURE ENHANCEMENTS:
1/ When exporting a list to RTF or HTML, it is now possible to include a hyperlink to each resource in the wikindx.
2/ When displaying a list of resources, the originator or last editor of the resource is displayed.
BUG FIXES:
1/ Fixed a browser display bug when editing certain resource types.
2/ If $WIKINDX_ORIGINATOR_EDITONLY = TRUE (config.php), originators are now able to edit their own resources.
WORKAROUND:
1/ The standard PHP function ctype_digit(), which should be a default part of the PHP installation, is only available on some distributions (Debian and Gentoo for example) if explicitly compiled. v3.6.2 provides a workaround for some WIKINDX functions so that ctype_digit() is no longer used.
v3.6.1
19th April 2007
Focus: Minor bug fixes.
1/ Fixed some javascript warning messages in some of the templates.
2/ Fixed a bug in the new caching system which, in some cases, caused a HTTPD 500 error on some web servers.
v3.6
16th April 2007
Focus: Major feature enhancements and minor bug fixes.
NB
1/ If you have an existing WIKINDX, this release UPGRADES the database structure. BACKUP YOUR DATABASE FIRST (and read INSTALL and UPDATEWIKINDX prior to running WIKINDX for the first time).
FEATURE ENHANCEMENTS:
1/ Modified resource entry and editing where that resource belongs to part of a collection. This is especially the case with journal articles where fields such as volume and issue are now part of that resource instead of being part of the collection (as was introduced in v3.5).
2/ Added $WIKINDX_ORIGINATOR_EDITONLY to config.php. If TRUE, only the originator of a bibliographic entry (and WIKINDX administrators) may edit that entry. All write-enabled users may still add metadata to the entry.
3/ In a multi-user WIKINDX, if config.php $WIKINDX_READONLYACCESS is TRUE, an 'Email resource to friend' hyperlink is shown when viewing a single resource. This opens a pop-up window where the user can compose and email the resource ID to a friend. This relies on there being a mail server on the same host as the WIKINDX. If this is the case and you wish to make this feature available, set config.php $WIKINDX_MAIL_SERVER to TRUE otherwise, to disable the feature (or if in doubt), set $WIKINDX_MAIL_SERVER to FALSE.
4/ When editing a resource belonging to a collection, it is now possible to change the collection the resource belongs to if the resource type remains the same.
5/ When a user browses a user bibliography belonging to that user and views a list of resources, the user may choose to remove resources from that user bibliography.
6/ Caching has been implemented for certain database fields (creators, keywords, publishers and collections) which are frequently formatted and displayed in select boxes. This significantly speeds up the display of forms containing those select boxes. Recaching is handled automatically.
7/ When displaying a list of resources (through list, select or search), administrators ma select resources to delete from the WIKINDX.
8/ Resource keywords may now be optionally exported when exporting a bibliographic list to RTF.
9/ For Administrators, there is now a function similar to the merge keywords function in which creators can be merged.
10/ Depending upon the settings in Admin|Configure, registrations in a multi-user WIKINDX may now be either self-managed or moderated byt eh Administrator. As always, user registration requires the presence of a valid mail server.
BUG FIXES:
1/ Read-only users are now able to browse collections without an input error.
2/ In Power Search, the list of keywords for metadata (quotes, paraphrases, musings) is not duplicated from the resource keyword list but pertains solely to that type of metadatum.
Other minor bug fixes.
v3.5
4th January 2007
Focus: Major feature enhancements and minor bug fixes.
NB
1/ If you have an existing WIKINDX, this release UPGRADES the database structure. BACKUP YOUR DATABASE FIRST (and read INSTALL and UPDATEWIKINDX prior to running WIKINDX for the first time).
2/ Because of additions to the bibliographic/citation templating system, administrators who have created their
own style should, after installing v3.5, open, edit (with changes if necessary) and save their styles in
the WIKINDX style editor before using them.
FEATURE ENHANCEMENTS:
1/ SUWP: added insert section break and option to renumber footnotes for each section of the exported RTF file.
2/ For in-text citation styles (such as APA), added 'Section' to 'Range within which subsequent citations are searched for'.
3/ In the SUWP, it is now possible to append papers with optional section breaks allowing the compilation of a book or thesis for example.
4/ The paper size of the SUWP RTF export may now be set (Letter, A4, A5, Legal, Executive).
5/ Added a new resource type: book_chapter. This is intended for resources whose title is a numeric chapter in a book.
6/ When viewing a single resource, a link is provided to view the basic bibTeX entry for that resource.
7/ Added search on keyword field to Quick Search.
8/ Enhancements to statistics by hyperlinking some items.
9/ Added editor fields to report and government_report resource types and added a publisher location to the latter.
10/ In the SUWP, the button state of certain buttons in the toolbar is now maintained depending upon the position of the cursor.
11/ Sometimes, when wanting to insert a reference in the SUWP, the reference may be found by searching the metadata but one doesn't wish to insert the metadata itself. It is now possible to insert only the cite tag after searching metadata for insertion into the SUWP.
12/ Added publisher/location fields to web_article resource type.
13/ Bibliographic lists produced from Resource Select and Quick Search now have the list parameters displayed.
14/ Much of the session data is now stored and retrieved at user logon if the user explicitly logs out. This includes, last multi view, last solo view, bookmarks, basket, export options, and list options. This WIKINDX state may be directly saved without logging off through the Wikindx|Save State menu item.
15/ Each new resource now has an authorYear bibTeX key stored and user Preferences allow any of three forms of bibTeX key to be viewed or exported.
16/ Admins may now opt to email news items to registered users.
17/ The bookmark system has been enhanced expanding it to 20 bookmarks instead of 10, enabling the bookmarking of lists as well as single resources and allowing the user to delete bookmarks.
18/ If the administrator chooses to display recently added/edited resources on the front page from a set number of days, the number of resources shown may now be limited.
19/ Administrators may now opt to be emailed when a new user completes registration.
20/ Registered users may now create user groups of which they are group administrator. Members of such groups have write access to user group bibliographies which the group administrator creates. Additionally, quote/paraphrase comments and musings may be set to be solely available to members of user groups of which the metadata originator is a member.
21/ Collections have been re-organized. Write-enabled users may now choose to add a new resource to an existing collection. Otherwise, the collection is created automatically if entering a new resource for a resource type which may be a part of a collection (book_article, journal_article etc.). The collection details may be managed via the Edit|Collection menu item. Furthermore, collections may now be browsed by collection type enabling the user to browse all collections or to browse just proceedings for example.
22/ If WIKINDX, the first time it is run with new code, detects that the database requires an upgrade (as it does with v3.5), only the superAdmin may perform the upgrade. This upgrade is automatic but requires the superAdmin to be logged on. Without this upgrade, WIKINDX is disabled. This was added in order to ensure that the superAdmin is fully aware of the upgrade process especially in the cases of large databases/slow servers where php.ini's max_execution_time may need to be temporarily adjusted.
BUG FIXES:
1/ Fixed a bug in the single resource view that incorrectly hyperlinked other resources citing the displayed one.
2/ Fixed bibTeX import/export for inbook and incollection types.
3/ Fixed a recently created bug that incorrectly stored @STRING entries upon bibTeX import.
4/ Fixed a bug with BBCode and ftp addresses in the [url]...[/url] tag.
5/ Fixed a bug in RTF exports of resources where the abstract and/or the notes were included.
6/ Fixed a bug in creator, keyword, publisher and collection entry where a pre-existing name was not matched (leading to duplicate entries) if the name in the database began with a non-English character.
7/ Fixed a bug in the reading of some of the larger XML bibliographic style files which led to a mysterious blank page even with error reporting on.
Other minor bug fixes.
v3.4.7
13th November 2006
Focus: Minor feature enhancements and minor bug fixes.
FEATURE ENHANCEMENTS:
1/ Tidied up the single resource view for a read-only user. For example, metadata headings not shown if there are no metadata.
BUG FIXES:
1/ Correction to APA-style disambiguation of cited references (addition of letter to year).
2/ In Quick Search, searching on the creator sometimes produced a SQL error. This has been fixed.
3/ When browsing publishers, clicking on a publisher which is the conference organizer of proceedings etc. produced no result. This has been fixed.
Other minor bug fixes.
v3.4.6
1st November 2006
Focus: Minor feature enhancements and minor bug fixes.
FEATURE ENHANCEMENTS:
1/ When exporting to bibTeX, the user may now opt to use short titles for @STRING values.
BUG FIXES:
1/ In certain bibliographic listing operations, a SQL error was produced when exporting to either bibtex or Endnote XML if using custom fields. This has been fixed.
2/ The 'random resource' feature now displays for read-only users.
3/ Corrections to the highlighting of metadata following a Quick Search where the metadata contains a URL.
4/ In bibTeX exports, ensured that the keyword for any @STRING only has allowable characters in it.
Other minor bug fixes.
v3.4.5
24th October 2006
Focus: Minor feature enhancements and minor bug fixes.
FEATURE ENHANCEMENTS:
1/ When exporting to RTF from the SUWP, it is now possible to set the footnote font size.
2/ Resources with at least one attachment may now be selected in Resources|Select.
3/ When entering/editing a thesis, the degree type and thesis type are now text input boxes rather than restricted select boxes.
4/ Added a 'Random Resource' link to the Resources menu.
5/ Proceedings type may now have publisher details in addition to the conference organizer and location.
BUG FIXES:
1/ When ordering a bibliographic list by creator (surname), resources without a creator are correctly ordered by title. Furthermore, if ordering by title, any braces used for protecting case in the title are ignored.
2/ An inconsistency between the bibliographic style and the resource editing form for the resource type 'proceedings' (between conference name and publisher) has been cleared up.
Other minor bug fixes.
v3.4.4
9th October 2006
Focus: Minor bug fixes.
BUG FIXES:
1/ Improvements to the parsing of author and pages fields when importing bibtex files.
2/ Search highlighting no longer breaks any URLs if the search term is part of a URL.
3/ In Internet Explorer, editing a creator now displays the submit button.
4/ Search in a resource title for 'word1' AND 'word2' in Quick Search now conducts its search correctly.
5/ The maximum counts in statistics are now displayed correctly.
6/ Improvements to RTF exporting and citation parsing in the SUWP particularly the handling of indented large citations.
Other minor bug fixes.
v3.4.3
20th September 2006
Focus: Minor bug fixes.
BUG FIXES:
1/ When copying blocks of text within the word processor, in some cases DIVS became nested. When saved, sections of text were deleted. This has now been fixed.
2/ In the SUWP, when indenting a large quotation, any footnote immediately following the cite tage is now indented as well.
3/ On some server environments, the initial '{' in a bibtex export entry was preceded by a backslash. This has now been fixed.
Other minor bug fixes.
v3.4.2
10th September 2006
Focus: Minor feature enhancements and minor bug fixes.
NB
1/ Because of additions to the bibliographic/citation templating system, administrators who have created their
own style should, after installing v3.4.2, open, edit (with changes if necessary) and save their styles in
the WIKINDX style editor before using them.
FEATURE ENHANCEMENTS:
1/ In in-text citations (APA style for example), it's now possible to list the URL as the in-text citation where required (e.g. web sites). Administrators see NB 1/ above.
2/ Added a new resource type: web_site. This is intended to make a difference (required for 1/ above) between web sites and internet articles. Administrators see NB 1/ above.
3/ For bibliographic and footnote templates, it is now possible to add newlines with the special string 'NEWLINE'.
4/ When importing a bibliography, users may now add the imported resources to a user bibliography.
BUG FIXES:
1/ Formatting of first names for creators now handles hyphenated first names when the citation styles require them to be initials.
2/ When entering a new creator (part of a new resource), accented names (UTF-8) characters now match similar characters in the creator database table when checking for duplicate creator names.
3/ All users, not just the admin, can now select resources based on import tag.
4/ After a select operation, when editing or adding to a user bibliography a resource from the list, completion of the edit/add operation resulted in an error message when attempting to display the last selected list. This has now been fixed.
5/ Improved matching criteria for when the subsequent template is used for in-text citations.
6/ The publisher entered for proceedings articles may now be selected on and is also displayed in 'Browse Publishers'.
7/ Fixed in-text year-letter disambiguation of cited resources.
Other minor bug fixes.
v3.4.1
22nd August 2006
v3.4.1
Focus: Minor feature enhancements and major bug fix.
FEATURE ENHANCEMENTS:
1/ The interface for the insert citation pop up window for metadata and the SUWP has been redesigned allowing a quick select or search of resources rather than one long list of resources.
2/ Title/subtitle formatting has been reworked to apply the same capitalization rules to the subtitle as to the title and to ensure that the titleSubtitleSeparator is not added if the title ends in '?', '!', '¡', '¿' or '.'.
3/ When exporting to bibTeX, the user may optionally export metadata (quotes, paraphrases, musings, comments).
BUG FIXES:
1/ Unders some conditions, saving a paper in the SUWP resulted in loss of data. The problem (incorrectly handling nested DIVs as introduced by the web browser Rich Text Editing code) has been removed.
2/ When creating a new resource, if a required input is missing on the final page, the user is now sent back to that final page rather than to the beginning.
Other minor bug fixes.
v3.4
8th August 2006
Focus: Major feature enhancements and bug fixes.
NB
1/ If you have an existing WIKINDX, this release UPGRADES the database structure. BACKUP YOUR DATABASE FIRST (and read INSTALL and UPDATEWIKINDX prior to running WIKINDX for the first time).
2/ Because of additions to the bibliographic/citation templating system, administrators who have created their
own style should, after installing v3.4, open, edit (with changes if necessary) and save their styles in
the WIKINDX style editor before using them.
FEATURE ENHANCEMENTS:
1/ For in-text citations added new style field: if the template being used contains the title or shortTitle and either of those fields exists in the same sentence, remove those fields from the template so that they do not appear in the citation. Administrators see NB 2/ above.
2/ For in-text citations added new style field: only use the subsequent citation template if the sentence containing the citation has the creator surname, title or shortTitle in it. Administrators see NB 2/ above.
3/ When searching or displaying metadata, category, keyword, publisher, collection and creator names are only displayed if they belong to a resource that has metadata.
4/ Added reset buttons to all forms in export RTF and search/select resources/metadata.
5/ Added a `timestampAdd` field to store the date of adding a resource. Not having this in previous versions was an oversight and, on first running of v3.4, all resources will have this field set to the current value for the field `timestamp` (which is initialized when the resource is added and is updated for each edit of that resource).
6/ Added some counters and indices for each resource including a 'popularity index' -- a percentage indicating the number of views for each resource compared to the most frequently viewed resource -- and a 'maturity index'. The maturity index is set manually by the administrator and is a subjective value from 0.0--10 based, for example, on the number of views of the resource, number of attachment downloads, amount of metadata or user reviews. At first running of v3.4, the view counter for each resource is set to '1' and is incremented only when viewing from a list/select/search operation or after displaying metadata i.e. not from front page etc. These statistics are only displayed in multi_user mode.
7/ Added $WIKINDX_DENY_READONLY to config.php to deny read only access. Although contrary to my philosophy of sharing knowledge, I've bowed to the inevitable pressure.
8/ The admin now has the ability to allow users with write access to import BibTeX or Endnote bibliographies.
9/ Admins can now chose to display either a set number of added/edited resources on the front page or all added/edited resources from a specified number of previous days.
10/ Added a forgotten password system. Users may store a set of up to three question/answer pairs. If they forget their password and then answer their questions correctly, a temporary password will be emailed to them.
11/ When displaying a single resource, the bibTeX key displayed is either a unique WIKINDX-generated key or the bibTeX key from the original bibTeX import (if available) according to user preference.
12/ Write-enabled users now have access to some statistical information about the WIKINDX.
13/ When exporting to BibTeX, users may now chose either "..." or {...} to enclose field values.
14/ Added a Category Tree view for resources that displays hyperlinked categories and hyperlinked lists of keywords in each category.
BUG FIXES:
1/ Some fixes to the formatting and justification tables and nested DIVs when exporting to RTF in the word processor.
2/ Fixed a bug whereby it was possible to write empty abstract and note fields to the database. At first running of v3.4, empty rows are deleted from the abstract and note database tables.
3/ When importing a bibtex bibliography, if all unrecognized fields were mapped to existing wikindx fields, the citation key was never stored despite the user requesting unused fields to be stored. This has been fixed.
4/ Some improvements to BibTeX export.
5/ Fixed a bug when previewing bibliographic templates in the style editor.
Other minor bug fixes.
v3.3.2
10th July 2006
Focus: Minor feature enhancements and bug fixes..
NB
1/ This release does NOT upgrade the database structure if upgrading from WIKINDX v3.3 or greater. If upgrading
from a WIKINDX version less than v3.3, then BACKUP YOUR DATABASE FIRST as this version will upgrade it (and read INSTALL and UPDATEWIKINDX first).
2/ Because of additions to the bibliographic/citation templating system, administrators who have created their
own style should, after installing v3.3.x, open, edit (with changes if necessary) and save their styles in
the WIKINDX style editor before using them.
3/ Administrators who have created their own CSS templates, should copy the plugintop.tpl and pluginbottom.tpl
template files from the templates/default/ directory to their own template directory. See
wikindx3/docs/templates/index.html for further details.
FEATURE ENHANCEMENTS:
1/ In config.php, adminstrators may now set alternate directories for storing attachments, SUWP papers and exported files. If these are changed from the default on an existing WIKINDX, adminstrators should manually copy files across to the new locations.
2/ Added error reporting configuration to config.php. Database errors will now print out any offending SQL statement if error reporting is turned on.
3/ Reduced (for HTML display purposes) the length of URLs shown in the citation of internet-based resources.
4/ Added another resource type 'Miscellaneous Section' which is intended for miscellaneous resources that are a part of a larger collection.
5/ More functions added to the word processor such as upper- and lower-casing, find and replace.
6/ For bibtex imports, keywords may now be separated by spaces (as per citeulike bibtex exports).
7/ Added $WIKINDX_DEACTIVATE_RESOURCE_TYPES to config.php as a mechanism for disabling resource types.
8/ Streamlined the entry and editing of resources.
9/ Some speed optimizations particularly when displaying long lists of resources for deletion or citation.
10/ Added capability for inline plug-in modules as an addition to the current menu plug-in system. See wikindx3/docs/usage/pluginmodules.html for details.
11/ Added a 'Browse Keywords' item to the metadata menu for the display of metadata keyword tag clouds.
12/ Added ordering options to List, Select and Quick Search.
13/ Added reordering options when displaying lists of resources.
14/ Added a partial template to each resource's bibliographic template to allow for a partial re-ordering of initial fields if the first field is not present in the resource. For example, in APA style if there is no creator, print the title before the publication year in bibliographic lists. Administrators see NB 2/ above.
15/ Users may now add resources to a temporary 'basket' of resources that can be viewed from the Resources menu.
BUG FIXES:
1/ Coded around a MySQL bug (http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=13551) that affects FROM clauses and JOIN statements on MySQL server >= 5.0.15.
2/ Dependent upon a php.ini setting, the upload of attachments whose filename contained a control code such as a single quote sometimes failed. This has been fixed.
3/ Fixed a database error when entering a master's thesis resource.
4/ Custom field entries are now kept when editing a resource.
5/ Fixed a bug in paging when listing the results of select resources.
6/ When exporting to RTF from the SUWP, multiple numbered lists now start anew at 1.
7/ When exporting the SUWP to RTF using a footnote style citation, some citations were discarded -- no more.
8/ Fixed undo/redo in Internet Explorer when using the SUWP. This is not a satisfactory fix but IE does some weird and illogical stuff so it seems that this is the best that can be done. The better solution is to use Netscape, Mozilla or Firefox as a web browser.
9/ When adding resources from a list to categories, existing categories are no longer overwritten when choosing to append.
Other minor bug fixes.
v3.3.1
19th May 2006
Focus: Bug fix.
BUG FIXES:
1/ Fixed an empty file error when importing or pasting BibTeX files.
v3.3
15th May 2006
Focus: Major feature enhancements and minor bug fixes. NB
a/ WIKINDX v3.3 upgrades the database structure and corrects bug no.15/ below. BACKUP YOUR DATABASE FIRST. Large WIKINDICES may take some time to upgrade -- code is built in to handle php.ini max_execution times that are exceeded by the upgrade process so just let the process run for as long as it takes and follow the prompts. As a rough guide, a 320-resource WIKINDX takes about 16 seconds to upgrade on a (slow) Windows system.
b/ Because of additions to the bibliographic/citation templating system (see feature enhancement 21/ below), administrators who have created their own style should, after installing v3.3, open, edit (with changes if necessary) and save their styles in the WIKINDX style editor before using them.
c/ The CSS/templating system has some additions too. If you have your own template, look in wikindx/docs/templates/index.html for changes.
FEATURE ENHANCEMENTS:
1/ Improved the parsing for sentences when parsing citations. WIKINDX language localizers/translators should note some changes to languages/xx/CONSTANTS.php to handle this. The following input:
"This is not uncommon and, at first sight, this adaptability and flexibility seems admirable, but there is a whole class of computer games (usually of the role-playing epic type such as Neverwinter Nights [cite]277[/cite]) for which Cavalcanti's scathing comments (someone who never worked for Warner Bros.) about cinema music's use of neo-romantic and neo-classical pastiche -- "[i]t is an idiom suited to an atmosphere of "pomp and display". In style, the music of the cinema, by and large, represents a fixation at a stage of development which the art itself left behind about thirty years ago. Tschaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Sibelius, are the spiritual fathers of most cinema music" [cite]250:23[/cite] -- could easily be applied to."
is now correctly converted to (assuming the use of a style such as APA which will split the citation into year and page parts):
"This is not uncommon and, at first sight, this adaptability and flexibility seems admirable, but there is a whole class of computer games (usually of the role-playing epic type such as Neverwinter Nights (Bioware, 2002)) for which Cavalcanti's (1939) scathing comments (someone who never worked for Warner Bros.) about cinema music's use of neo-romantic and neo-classical pastiche -- "[i]t is an idiom suited to an atmosphere of "pomp and display". In style, the music of the cinema, by and large, represents a fixation at a stage of development which the art itself left behind about thirty years ago. Tschaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Sibelius, are the spiritual fathers of most cinema music" (p.23) -- could easily be applied to."
2/ The display of metadata for insertion into the SUWP is similar to the display when searching or selecting metadata: the resource title is displayed, page numbers are displayed and comments, where appropriate, are displayed with quotes and paraphrases.
3/ Added a further help menu item with tips on using Wikindx.
4/ Improved the ordering of results returned by searching and selecting metadata (now ordered by first creator surname, then publication year and then title and all metadata is ordered by page number).
5/ When displaying a single resource, any metadata now has its keywords displayed and hyperlinked to facilitate selecting other metadata with the same keywords.
6/ Title/subtitle separators are now part of the bibliographic/citation XML style files rather than being a part of the localization system.
7/ Footer or header page numbers can now be added to RTF exports in the word processor.
8/ Select Resources has been improved by allowing a conditional selection across all available fields improving the flexibility and power of the select.
9/ Select Metadata has been improved by allowing a conditional selection across all available fields improving the flexibility and power of the select.
10/ When exporting to RTF from the word processor, users may now define a length of quotation above which the quotation is indented.
11/ Footnotes can be inserted into the word processor. If the bibliographic/citation style is in-text (for example APA style), these will be displayed as footnotes at the bottom of each page of the RTF export. For bibliographic/citation styles that use footnotes or endnotes for their citations, these footnotes will be either footnotes or endnotes depending on the style.
12/ Added $WIKINDX_SESSION_PATH and $WIKINDX_SESSION_PATH_CLEAR to config.php to give control over where session data is written and how often it is deleted. This can be a help with multi-user WIKINDICES on ISPs where session storage space is subject to a quota since WIKINDX uses large sessions.
13/ Bibliographies can now be exported to Endnote XML files compatible with Endnote v8 and above. Unlike Endnote tabbed files, XML files will successfully replicate UTF-8 characters from WIKINDX to Endnote.
14/ When exporting a bibliography to BibTeX or Endnote XML, the user has the option to map any custom WIKINDX fields to export fields.
15/ Large bibliographic imports from BibTeX or Endnote that previously would have exceeded php.ini's 'max_execution_time' are now imported safely in chunks.
16/ The display of the word processor has been re-designed and more functionality has been added.
17/ Default settings have been added to RTF exports of bibliographies.
18/ The word processor save routines have been re-written to make use of save status indicators. There is still no autosave and no way of saving users from using browser back buttons.
19/ Administrators may merge multiple keywords into one new or existing keyword. The merged keywords are deleted from the database and references to them are replaced by a reference to the new keyword (without removing other un-merged keyword references).
20/ When choosing to add keywords to resources after a list, select or search operation, the user may now add a new keyword in addition to selecting from the keyword list.
21/ Added a parameter to the XML bibliographic/citation styles for setting the range (entire text or paragraph) to control the use of the subsequent creator template for in-text citations.
22/ When importing an Endnote bibliography, the administrator can now map custom Endnote fields to either
WIKINDX or custom fields.
23/ On displaying lists of keywords when browsing a user bibliography, a setting in the user's preferences settings controls whether to display all keywords in the WIKINDX or keywords limited to resources in that user bibliography. The default is to display all keywords.
24/ When browsing creators, keywords, collections, categories and publishers as tag clouds, the user may now set paging for long lists.
25/ Books and book chapters can now have details for the original work the resource was translated from (translated title, publisher details and year).
26/ A short title field for a resource has been added.
27/ Added a new syntax rule for bibliographic/citation templates that governs whether fields are displayed dependent upon the existence of either the preceeding or the subsequent field. See index.php?action=helpStyleDisplay for details.
BUG FIXES:
1/ A non-admin write user can now paste bibtex resources.
2/ Citations where a style (APA for example) states that the citation is split into year and page parts now find possessive creator names correctly in both RTF and html output.
3/ Corrections to bibliography ordering for SUWP exports.
4/ Backticks are now saved when editing bibliographic templates.
5/ An error message is now printed if the input file size of attachments exceeds the smallest setting in php.ini.
6/ In bibliography formatting, names following the first in the primary creator list are now formatted correctly.
7/ BibTeX citation keys for BibTeX exports are now generated in a consistent manner based upon the primary creator's surname and the resource database ID.
8/ Backslashes are now properly handled in resource input and editing.
9/ When inputting or editing creator names, the requirement now is that initials be entered in the form 'M.N.' or 'Th.V.'. This means that UTF-8 characters and initials such as 'Th.' are properly stored.
10/ When inserting metadata into the SUWP, UTF-8 code is now correctly inserted.
11/ Some corrections to exporting bibliographies as RTF files particularly in the handling of BBCode.
12/ Fixed a MySQL error when the resource paging preferences were set to '-1'.
13/ Some fixes to BibTeX import routines.
14/ Some fixes to resource edit fields when the input contains double quotes.
15/ Prior to v3.3, some database entries were mistakenly written escaped with an extra backslash. The database upgrade process corrects this.
16/ Bug no. 1430309 at Sourceforge: "Under certain circumstances, if you select all the text and resize the font, some of the lines of the text get transposed.". This is a bug with the underlying browser code as it appears in every other HTML editor/browser I've tested it with. So, we have no permanent fix, but the addition of the 'Cleanup SUWP Souce Code' button in the format bar makes the SUWP source code clean enough for font resizing to be done with confidence.
17/ Some ISPs only allow the user one MySQL database which may have several different table groups representing different database applications. Previous versions created WIKINDX tables with the prefix 'WKX_' but failed to create tables when there were other tables (from different applications) already in the database. This bug has been fixed.
v3.2.4
8th February 2006
Focus: Major bug fix.
1/ A bug in initial configuration caused system failure for new wikindx users and those changing the system configuration after upgrading.
2/ When viewing a single resource that contains a very long URL in 'Further information may be found at:' which therefore causes horizontal scrolling in the browser, the displayed URL is now reduced in length.
v3.2.3
7th February 2006
Focus: Minor feature enhancements and minor bug fixes.
FEATURE ENHANCEMENTS:
1/ It is now possible to search on creator surnames in Quick Search.
2/ The preview option when editing bibliographic styles now allows template fields to be turned on and off within
the preview popup. Additionally, any non-generic template that is empty will drop back to the generic fallback
style for preview purposes.
3/ When importing a BibTeX bibliography, the administrator can now map unrecognised BibTeX fields to either
WIKINDX or custom fields.
4/ When selecting or searching metadata, the resource's details are displayed above each metadata group (also the
case when selecting metadata for use in the SUWP). Template/CSS designers should note that there is a new CSS
class to display these details: 'metaResourceDetails' (see templates/default/default.css for further details).
5/ When selecting or searching metadata, any comments are displayed as part of its quote or paraphrase if that
quote or paraphrase has also been returned in the query.
6/ When selecting or searching metadata, user names are now added to comments and musings.
7/ When selecting or searching metadata, the result can be exported to Rich Text Format.
8/ For plug-in modules, added an authorization variable to control display of the module menu item depending on
user access rights. See docs/usage/pluginmodules.html for details.
9/ When editing a bibliographic/citation style, in addition to previewing bibliographic templates, footnote
templates and in-text citation formatting can now be previewed.
10/ Speed optimizations particularly when viewing metadata.
11/ When viewing a single resource from the front page additions/last edits, icons are displayed for navigation
through the list.
BUG FIXES
1/ There is sometimes an inconsistency between the actual number of resources in the database and the number
displayed in the footer. This will occur where bibtex/endnote file imports have failed because of PHP's
max_execution_time being set too low. In this case, some resources will have been imported but without adding
the total number of imports to the total number of resources. If these resources are then deleted, the total
resources is decremented as normal hence the inconsistency. On system startup, consistency is checked and
corrected.
2/ Minor debugging of citation formatting especially display of an editor's surname in in-text citation when
there is no author for an edited book.
3/ Corrections to MLA style.
4/ Minor improvements to parsing of colours when exporting to RTF in the word processor.
5/ Browsing keywords, creators etc. as tag clouds no longer prints any braces {...}.
6/ When using the word processor (SUWP) and adding a citation (not metadata), postText was not inserted back
into the SUWP when there was no preText. This has been fixed.
7/ When a search term is highlighted (following search operation), [cite]...[/cite] tags are now parsed when
viewing a single resource.
8/ Improvements to BibTeX file importing particularly the handling of comments and @strings concatenated from
other @strings.
9/ The incidence of double whitespacing in the RTF export from the word processor has been reduced.
10/ Improvements to the parsing of possessive name form recognition when splitting citations (year then page
no.) if the citation author's name is in the same sentence as the citation.
v3.2.2
21st December 2005
FOCUS: Minor feature enhancements and minor bug fixes
FEATURE ENHANCEMENTS:
1/ When a URL is requested for a page within WIKINDX, the default action now is to let that user in with read
only access rather than returning the log-in prompt/read only hyperlink. This is particularly useful where web
sites have links directly to resources within WIKINDX for example RSS feeds. Administrators wishing to return
the log-in prompt instead can set $WIKINDX_READONLYACCESS to FALSE in config.php.
2/ When exporting a bibliography listing with metadata to RTF, there is now an option to print primary creator
surname and publication year in addition to page number for each metadata.
3/ When importing a bibtex file or pasting a bibtex file, the user can specify the keyword separator in the
source bibliography (comma, semicolon or either/or).
4/ Users can now browse all creators, collections, publishers, categories and keywords with frequency of
occurrence indicated explicitly by number and implicitly by 'tag clouds' using font size and colour. CSS/Template designers should note that there are two new CSS classes to help implement this: 'browseLink' and 'browseParagraph' (see templates/default/default.css for details).
BUG FIXES:
1/ All logged on users can add and delete resource file attachments.
2/ An Endnote import with unicode/UTF-8 characters is properly imported.
v3.2.1
2nd December 2005
FOCUS: Minor feature enhancements and minor bug fixes
FEATURE ENHANCEMENTS:
1/ The plug-in module code has been enhanced for simplification of module coding. See
wikindx3/docs/usage/pluginmodules.html (a third module constructor parameter has been added that will be TRUE if
called from the menu system).
2/ When editing or entering a new resource, the user now has the option of adding that resource to their user
bibliographies.
3/ When deleting a resource from single user view, deletion completion returns the user to the single view of the
next resource in the list, or, if that does not exist, to the single view of the previous resource in the list
or, if that does not exist, to the home page.
4/ In addition to category and keyword hyperlinks shown when displaying a single resource, all creators, the
publisher and collection links are now shown.
5/ When importing bibtex entries, multiple keywords in the keyword field are now split on either ';' or ','
instead of just the former.
BUG FIXES:
1/ The loophole whereby a read-only user or non-admin could import a BibTeX file by using a direct URL has been
plugged.
2/ MySQL timestamp handling was set to a 12 hour clock in the PHP code resulting in timestamp ordering errors.
This has been changed to a 24-hour clock.
v3.2
22nd November 2005
FOCUS: Major feature enhancements and minor bug fixes
FEATURE ENHANCEMENTS:
1/ Added a single user WYSIWYG word processor for writing papers and articles. It will export to Rich Text
Format (for opening in Open Office or similar) and additionally provides some simple text formatting (javascript
required). The major advantage of this is that you can import quotations and paraphrases direct from the
database and within the one application; all such citations (in-text and footnote style) will be formatted to the
style of your choice and a bibliographic list will be automatically appended if necessary. Not all browsers
support HTML design mode as used by the word processor -- Opera certainly doesn't and Safari and Konqueror
probably don't but IE, Firefox, Netscape and Mozilla are fine. (A multi-author environment will be a
later development of this in addition to other export formats.) Articles are stored hashed in the 'papers/'
directory so you should ensure this is writable by the web-server user.
2/ Added in-text and endnote-style (or footnote) citation formatting for all resource metadata and papers.
3/ Select metadata by various parameters.
4/ Search metadata.
5/ Proceedings may now have editors.
6/ Bibliographic formatting: a) further options for edition and day fields; b) use of language localisation for
title/subtitle separator, ordinal numbers and months.
7/ Recent additions or edits can be displayed on the front page - the number displayed is set by the admin.
8/ It is now possible to use the same browser (tabbed or new window) to simultaneously log in to different
wikindices on the same server without session and cookie confusion. Of more use to large institutions probably.
9/ Bibliographic styles now use title/subtitle separator, ordinal number and month names as defined in the
localisation files.
10/ It is now possible to further define creator strings in resource style templates to cope with more complex
styles such as DIN1505.
11/ When viewing a single resource, the categories a resource belongs to are displayed and hyperlinked in the
same way that keywords are.
12/ Added a RSS feed (wikindx3/rss.php).
13/ Bibliographic/citation formatting now adds footnote templates to the bibliographic templates for each
resource type. This is for styles such as Chicago which use a different format for footnotes and for the
complete bibliography.
14/ User bibliographies are no longer shown when in Read Only mode.
15/ Many other minor enhancements.
BUG FIXES:
1/ Display of news items has now been fixed.
2/ The blank page when adding a new bookmark has now been fixed.
3/ Some corrections to RTF exporting of bibliographies having metadata with BBCode.
4/ When deleting a category that resources are a member of, the script now completes successfully.
5/ Fixed incorrect number of resources displayed when selecting keywords or resources cited.
6/ Improved the handling of multiple punctuation characters following fields in bibliographic formatting.
7/ Optimisation of a variety of SQL statements particularly when displaying search and select fields from resources in user bibliographies.
8/ Other minor bug fixes.
v3.1 Final Release
30th June 2005
FOCUS: Major feature enhancements and minor bug fixes
FEATURE ENHANCEMENTS:
1/ In addition to page numbers, paragraph, section and chapter can optionally be added to resource metadata.
2/ Added a series and series number field to proceedings articles.
3/ Multiple files can be attached to resources when viewing a single resource and can only be added or deleted by the resource creator or admin. Adding a file attachment is no longer possible when adding/editing a resource - attachments must be done when viewing a single resource's details.
4/ When editing a resource, it is now possible to jump directly to an editing point instead of having to go through every editing page.
5/ Proceedings, proceedings articles and magazines may now have a date range and journal articles may now have a date range (excluding days).
6/ Date ranges are now supported in bibliographic styles.
7/ User-defined strings for each of the 12 months may now be supplied in the bibliographic styles.
8/ BibTeX @proceedings, @inproceedings and @article types with month fields that have multiple dates (e.g. dec # " 5--9," or nov # " 29" # "--" # dec # " 2" or "sep" # "/" # oct) are correctly imported and exported.
9/ Quote and paraphrase comments and all musings may now be marked as either 'public' or 'private' for viewing by other users. If marked as 'private', only the metadata creator can view it.
10/ After listing resources through list, select or search functions, in addition to adding selected resources to user bibliographies, users may now add selected resources to categories and keywords.
11/ When adding a new resource, the user is sent back to the 'new resource' dialogue after entry. When editing a resource, the user is sent back to the last multi view (if that was the last view selected before editing) or to solo view.
12/ It is now possible to select resources that are NOT part of a user bibliography.
13/ Registered users can now choose to be notified by email only when a resource has been added, edited or both. Adding quotes, paraphrases etc. to a resource counts as editing the resource.
14/ When editing a resource, it is now possible to convert the resource type. Users should bear in mind that some fields may be dropped.
15/ Up to 10 bookmarks may now be added for quick return to single views. If 10 bookmarks already exist, the user is asked to replace a pre-existing one with the new one.
16/ When creating or editing a bibliographic style, it is now possible to view a preview of a resource type template. (Requires JavaScript and, currently, does not work with Internet Explorer.)
17/ The Power Search interface has been made more efficient by removing redundant fields and, for creators, displaying only those creators that are of the field type. For example, if there is a total list of 100 creators but only 5 of those are editors (creator2), then the select list for the creator2 field will display only those 5 names.
18/ When editing a resource, the creator and miscellaneous pages now include a checkbox to write the new details immediately upon form submission without proceeding to the next edit page.
19/ When exporting a RTF file, the user now has the option to export only their metadata (quote/paraphrase comments and musings) or their metadata in addition to other users' public metadata. Usernames are now appended to such metadata.
....Other minor enhancements especially usability and navigation features.
BUG FIXES:
1/ Tidied up presentation of creator lists in select boxes especially where a name consists solely of a surname.
2/ Some debugging of creator list formatting in bibliographic styles. Multiple punctuation following a name is now allowed if the punctuation characters are different.
3/ Creator name order is now correctly exported to Endnote, BibTeX and RIS. Additionally, when editing a resource, changes to creator order are now correctly handled.
4/ Fixed excessive expansion of @strings in bibtex imports.
5/ Maintain {...} braces stored in the database (esp. for titles) when exporting to BibTeX.
6/ In Power Search, conference organisers are now a separate listing to publishers. They are still grouped together for Resources|Select.
7/ In Internet Explorer, the page for deleting resources from a user bibliography now shows the form submit button.
8/ It is now possible to delete custom fields when editing resources.
9/ User bibliographies are no longer over-written but are appended to when adding new resources to the bibliography. At first running of WIKINDX after upgrading, the WKX_user_bibliography table is checked and corrected if necessary (in some cases, a leading comma may have appeared in the list - this is removed).
10/ When searching for a word or phrase, multiple instances of the same resource are no longer returned in the list when that word or phrase occurs more than once in the resource field searched on.
11/ When importing bibTeX or Endnote bibliographies or pasting bibTeX items, the real user ID is used rather than the superAdmin user ID.
12/ User passwords are no longer emailed when adding or editing a user.
....Other minor fixes
v3.0 Final Release
13th April 2005
FOCUS: Major feature enhancements and minor bug fixes.
1/ Addition of the following resource types:
film,
TV/radio broadcast,
artwork,
audiovisual,
online database,
legal case,
legal ruling/regulation,
bill (parliamentary),
statute,
patent,
government report,
report/documentation,
hearing,
classical work,
software,
proceedings,
conference paper,
manuscript,
magazine article,
map,
music album,
music track,
music score,
chart/image,
unpublished,
personal communication,
miscellaneous,
There are now 34 resource types.
2/ Administrators can now create/edit bibliographic formatting styles via the browser interface. As more become available they will be downloadable as plug-ins from the SourceForge site.
3/ The underlying database structure has been substantially rewritten. v2.x databases will be upgraded automatically at first running of v3.x. As always, when upgrading, you should BACK UP your existing database first.
4/ Bibliographic lists now follow the chosen style in replacing subsequent creators with '____' or whatever the style dictates.
5/ BibTeX importing has been completely rewritten. It is now a one stage process (with options such as importing duplicates) and all BibTeX types are imported.
6/ Removing large numbers of resources is _vastly_ more efficient.
7/ Each resource may now have one file attachment. Admins can allow/disallow file attachments and allow only logged on users to view file attachments. All files are uploaded to the 'attachments/' directory which must be writeable by everyone (or at least the web server user). The link to view a file is displayed when viewing a single resource.
8/ Viewing a single resource will now list any keywords attached to that resource and, if any exist, a link to other resources with each keyword.
9/ Viewing a single resource will now list a link to display any resources citing the current resource.
10/ Administrators can import XML bibliographies exported from Endnote.
11/ When viewing a single resource, there are now hyperlinks for viewing the previous and next resources from the list.
12/ When viewing a list for adding to a user bibliography, it is now possible to add the complete listing (as defined by list, select, search etc. methods) to a user bibliography.
13/ Resource metadata may now have keywords attached to them. These keywords are drawn from or added to the master list of keywords that is available when adding keywords to resources.
14/ Improved the error-checking and flexibility of the plug-in module code (see docs/index.html for writing plug-in modules).
15/ Admins can add custom fields to resources. These may be small (up to 255 characters and suitable for e.g. borrower status) or large (+65,000 characters and suitable for e.g. Table of Contents) and are displayed when viewing a resource.
16/ Added a database field for abbreviated titles for collections (journals, newspapers etc. -- anything that has a WIKINDX article in it). Abbreviations from the @string part of BibTeX files are imported to this field and will be exported as a @string entry to BibTeX.
17/ Users can cut 'n' paste bibTeX entries to the database. The maximum number imported at any one time is controlled by the admin but at all times admins can paste unlimited entries.
18/ Power Search mode enables BOOLEAN (Google-type) searches across up to 50+ resource fields.
19/ Speed improvements.
20/ Other usability enhancements.
BUG FIXES:
1/ Fixed export RTF UTF-8 encoding/decoding.
2/ Other minor bug fixes.
v2.3 Final Release
19th December 2004
FEATURES:
1/ Added Endnote export (tabbed textfile).
2/ Added ability to cite another WIKINDX resource from within text input (not available for those whose web browsers have javascript disabled).
v2.2 Final Release
5th December 2004
BUG FIXES:
1/ Added $WKX_DB_PERSISTENT to config.php. WIKINDX uses persistent connections by default. Some hosting services are not configured for this: if you have problems connecting to your MySQL server and/or receive error messages about 'too many connections', set $WIKINDX_DB_PERSISTENT to FALSE.
2/ The timestamp for a news item was not updated when that item was edited.
3/ The timestamp for quote and paraphrase comments was not being updated when these were edited.
4/ SuperAdmin was unable to enter an email in MyWIKINDX.
5/ The database upgrade did not add users to the WKX_notify table.
v2.2.rc1
2nd December 2004
FOCUS: Major feature enhancements and minor bug fixes.
FEATURES
1/ Added RIS export for exporting bibliographies to programs such as EndNote, Reference Manager and ProCite.
2/ Added the option to be notified by email of any additions or changes to resources.
3/ Added news. Administrators can add news items for other users to view.
BUG FIXES
1/ Fixed PHP warnings when a BibTeX file without @strings was imported (although the resources were still successfully imported). Imports can have @string or not.
2/ Fixed warning when exporting to a BibTeX file a resource list containing newspaper articles.
3/ When a bibtex file with @strings was stored, any @strings stored in WKX_bibtex_string were not deleted when the resource was deleted. They are now.
CHANGES
1/ Removed administrator option to convert a WIKINDX v1.x database. Those with such a database should first upgrade to v2.0.1, convert the database, then upgrade further. It's assumed that there are very few of those users left if any so this is a code cleanout.
2/ Changed the operation of multi user mode. While all logged-in users can still add/edit resources, notes and abstracts and add quotes, paraphrases and musings, logged in users can only edit their own quotes, paraphrases and musings. They can, however, append their own comments (or, in the case of musings, their own musing) to each of those three. This pseudo-forum mode allows users to keep track of whose comments are whose and so avoid charges of plagiarism! Users can add as many musings, paraphrases and quotes for any one resource but only one comment per paraphrase or quote (which they can then edit as often as they like).
v2.1.1
23rd. November 2004
FOCUS: Bug fix - publisher details not written to the database. Now fixed.
20th. November 2004
FOCUS: Major feature enhancements and minor bug fixes
FEATURES
1/ Changed the way languages, bibliographic styles and HTML templates are handled. Languages now use a plug-in structure. Language modules, which will now be available as separate modules for download (English being the core language), are stored in the languages/ folder and made available to users by editing the appropriate description.text in languages/xx/. Additionally, any messages that are missing in the requested language pack drop down to the default English (an error message was printed before). Styles and templates are similarly handled and made available to users with the appropriate description.txt in styles/bibliography/xxxxx/ and templates/xxxxx/. To disable a language, style or template without removing it permanently, rename the appropriate description.txt to description.txt~. Some default styles and templates are supplied as part of the core WIKINDX download.
2/ RTF export has now been enhanced to allow annotated bibliographies (or even, for example, to print out only abstracts) with a range of formatting and presentation options. Non-ASCII characters properly converted to unicode (should work in all modern RTF readers).
3/ Added ISBN/ISSN field for books and journals.
4/ Changed HTML header charset to UTF-8 in all templates.
5/ Added keyword editing.
6/ Added user logout for users.
7/ User passwords now encrypted in the database.
8/ Added multi-user facility with support for user bibliographies etc. Registered users can create, edit and delete bibliographies and can add and remove resources to and from bibliographies. These bibliographies are writeable only by that user although all other users can browse all bibliographies.
9/ Added ability to separate prefixes from surnames so that, if a bibliographic style requires it, Mark N.M. de Witt is displayed as Witt, Mark N.M. de.
10/ Better support for unicode and UTF-8.
11/ Require user logon for both single and multi user modes.
BUG FIXES:
1/ Changed
`timestamp` timestamp(14) default NULL,
to
`timestamp` timestamp(14) NOT NULL,
in updates/createMySQL.txt to correct table creation failure with MySQL 4.0.x. It still works with MySQL 3.23.
2/ Fixed minor APA bug.
3/ When inputting a resource of the same title and type of resource as a pre-existing resource, subtitle fields were not compared when checking for duplicate resource inputting. They are now.
4/ Updated and corrected documentation.
v2.0.1
12th. September 2004
FOCUS: Minor Bug Fixes
1/ Ordering of quotes etc. when viewing a single resource was not correctly ordering by page start. Although page numbers consisting of roman numerals (preface for example) are still not ordered, such page numbers are now displayed prior to quotes with arabic page start numbers which are themselves now displayed in the correct order.
2/ Only for proceedings articles. Choosing a pre-existing journal/proceedings title from the select box was not accepted. The text box input was. Now working as it should be.
3/ Internet Explorer javascript and TABLE display issues corrected.
4/ For web article entries, journal issue and number input were not stored when inputting a new resource. Fixed.
5/ APA style is supposed to lowercase title and subtitle, protecting the case of any characters enclosed by {...}. It now does.
6/ Added ability to underline text in all quotes, comments etc.
v2.0
2nd. September 2004
WIKINDX v2 represents an almost complete rewrite of the core code (now cleanly written) taking in many of the suggestions submitted on the sourceforge site and correcting the v1.x bugs reported there. It has all the functionality of the v1 series and a few more culled from the sourceforge features request page. Most importantly, the core code is now solid and stable (with documentation) providing a strong basis to expand WIKINDX features in future releases.
- HTML code: All HTML code is now XHTML-compatible and W3C-validated. Furthermore, 'view source' of HTML presents tidy, readable code.
- The menu system has been redesigned in favour of CSS drop-downs to:
- compact the visual design and
- provide one-click access to WIKINDX functions.
Most modern browsers will be able to handle this (even Internet Explorer); for those that can't and for users unable to upgrade their browsers, WIKINDX can still be used - it just requires a few more mouse clicks.
- Navigation has been improved allowing users to jump back, after several other operations, to the last single resource viewed or the last list of resources.
- The almost total use of CSS for layout in v1. has been dropped in favour of good old-fashioned-always-do-what-you-want-in-a-logical-manner tables. CSS is still used for the menu system (see above) and visual styling.
- WIKINDX now uses the phemplate templating system (http://pukomuko.esu.lt/phemplate/) and default templates can be easily setup by the WIKINDX administrator. Templates combined with CSS styles allow the WIKINDX administrator great freedom when designing a new visual style and allow WIKINDX to be incorporated into the look and feel of other websites. A variety of default templates are available.
- The database structure has been made more efficient.
- Upgrading to the v2 database and transferring resources from v1 databases is managed via a few questions and mouse clicks on the web browser. NB. The WIKINDX admin is still required to create and grant permissions on a new database outside WIKINDX and to configure the appropriate database access variables in config.php.
- The addition of an administrator configuration page greatly facilitates the setup of WIKINDX and the admin will be prompted to configure it when first running WIKINDX after the initial v2 install. Almost all configuration variables (with the exception of database access variables and available templates and bibliographic styles) have been placed in a database table configurable through the web browser. Furthermore, future upgrading of the v2 database system is transparently and automatically handled by the WIKINDX code which detects disparities between the existing database structure and the required database structure (as mandated by the upgraded code) and upgrades accordingly.
- When creating or editing a resource, fewer fields are mandated making the whole process simpler and more intuitive.
- An abstract may now be stored with the resource.
- A URL may be added to the resource for non-web article types that have further information online.
- In addition to the usual notes, quotes and musings, you may now add paraphrases from the resource.
- The bibliographic style sheets have been greatly simplified so as to make it easier for the creation of new styles.
- WIKINDX v2 will handle different languages for all its documentation, hints and error messages. Currently English and German - native speakers of other languages are welcome to volunteer their services....
- There are less requirements when adding a new resource and it is now possible to enter roman numerals (as often found in prefaces) for the page number(s).
- Highlighting of search terms.
- Improvements to the BibTeX import code.
- An imported BibTeX bibliography may now be tagged with a descriptive label enabling administrators to keep tabs on the origin of various resources - for example, to delete all resources belonging to a particular tag.
- Use {...} to enclose characters in resource titles and subtitles to maintain the case for those bibliographic styles (such as APA) that will normally lowercase the characters.
