After hitting an impasse caused by my jsp limits I finally managed to get the module list to work in my draft version of the new website for SWORD.
Problems left are hopefully minor and will be eliminated before the website will become "live". (* known problems listed below) You can use it already on www.crosswire.org/sword/newpage and the library at www.crosswire.org/sword/newpage/library.jsp You can choose (one or all) language(s) and (one or several) module type(s). I have made a conscious decision not to allow the full range of languages for selection, but instead will offer a few and advise seekers of other languages to chose the "all languages" option. The reasons are as follows: If I wanted to offer all languages as a selection scroll down I would a) have an enormously long list of languages which are probably largely irrelevant for website downloads (our Mexican beta languages). b) would need to make the page offer different language selections dependent on choice of beta or not. This would require java scripting or round trip and two stage chosing which is something i felt was not desirable. The actual list of languages I offer as "frequently chosen" is just thrown together right now, but requires some work - suggestions welcome. I would think anything more than 15-20 languages would be wrong. I was thinking of creating a multi language selection but decided that the trouble I had getting it working like it is meant I am currently not able (dt lack of knowledge) to do this in a reasonable time frame. And I want that website working. yours Peter --------------------- *) List of current problems: 1) It displays empty lists when no module is available in a chosen categroy 2) Some texts are repititive and need to get put at the right place and shown only once 3) if a single language is chosen the chosen language should get a h2 header while the module lists should be h3. At the moment this is reversed. _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
