5 years ago Third (and my favoured option) is to amend the current popup such that, if the annotation is effectively empty, the space closes up,.
For all annotations exception <ref, the test is: is the Narrative field empty? For <ref, the test is: are all three of the date fields empty?
If these tests are positive, then the popup shows:
(i) the name
- that's just a single field for Places and Organisations.
- in the case of Persons, FirstName(s) LastName (period).
- for publications, just the Title (period)
(ii) See other journal mentions (as at present) (iii) Cross-references (as at present)
As discussed, there are three options for this.
First (and most expensive in dev time) is to have an option, from people/person123 (and equivalents for other types), to Reveal All. This runs through the index, then through the XML containing instances of person 123, rewriting the element to remove/override the display=no attribute. Not favoured.
Second: on loading a journal entry, application checks whether the narrative field for the annotation has any text in it, and if not, the popup icon is not shown.
