creating a page that already exists #31

Open codersquid opened 10 years ago

codersquid commented 10 years ago

When someone starts to create a page, it would be helpful to suggest pages that might already exist. Other sites have this feature, and it can be helpful.

jaseiler commented 10 years ago

That is a very good idea. Noted.

I also liked the idea of being able to create a page with minimal input from the user. Perhaps we can interface with zotero, mendeley, and similar sites - ie. they can search the zotero database to find the reference and then we can grab that data, rather than having them fill out fields twice if they have already done it elsewhere. Not sure if zotero/mendeley have APIs that permit this but worth investigating.

Thanks, Victoria

Yeah, the ability to do that depends on the service and how scrapable it is or if they provide tools like xml docs for entries or APIs. But that is what I was aiming for with the auto-filling features from the links, DOIs, and PMIDs. But as I said, I'm happy to hide all other fields until they've decided or not to enter one of those things. I just haven't done it yet. ~Jenn

I have a lot of practice talking to web services, so if you run in to any snags and get blocked, please post a comment.

also, I had collected a bunch of bookmarks to developer documentation to various services, because this is something that will be useful whenever we are working on consuming their services -- if you end up picking a service that I haven't bookmarked, please let me know.

codersquid commented 10 years ago

Another thing -- we could have our front-end talk to a cache or something that we set up which would have multiple requests going out to providers of the same information. this means, that you could make a request from the front end to hit our cache, and if the information isn't in the cache, the backend service could call out to multiple services and hopefully will get something back to you, even if one of them is unavailable.

I've done similar things before, and can describe them with better vocabulary and less handwaving later -- I'm bad at jargon.

jaseiler commented 10 years ago

I would love to see that list of bookmarks if you could send it my way.
Thanks!

Also, earlier in the year (way earlier, before I joined the group) I was looking at javascript frameworks to see which one(s) the open science framework group might find useful for building forms and things. knockout.js seemed like the best at the time for what they needed, take a look, http://knockoutjs.com/ there are some other frameworks out there... I wouldn't us to get carried away buying in to some javascript framework, but I just wanted to mention them. angular js also seems like it has some good briainshare. I bookmarked this post at the time to read through some critiques. http://sporto.github.io/blog/2013/04/12/comparison-angular-backbone-can-ember/

So, what this has to do with page creation forms and such:

codersquid commented 10 years ago

DOH, I meant to paste in the wiki page. https://github.com/runmycode/tyler/wiki/brainstorming-external-services

a problem with that wiki page is that it contains a lot of bookmarks, but the reasons the bookmarks are there are all in my head. I can fix that later.

one good thing to do might be to reorder the bookmarks by what we are currently using and then also order them by future features or whatever -- I can link aplanning doc to it, and so on. but right now, it's just the wiki page I wrote a while back and then moved to the tyler wiki.

So far I've been googling a lot and just using the django documentation sites, so this will help.
