modifications to project-info dialog for Showcase
-------------------------------------------------

         Key: SQ-299
         URL: http://tracker.immuexa.com/browse/SQ-299
     Project: squeakland
        Type: Improvement
  Components: etoys  
    Reporter: Scott Wallace
     Fix For: review, code to test for publication
 Attachments: projectInfoPopUps-sw.12.cs.gz

Modify the project-info dialog:
(1) Remove sub-category
(2) Category becomes Subject
(3) Three pop-ups:  Age Group, Subject, Region
(4) Obtain the items and their codes for the pop-ups from the web site when possible.

A first fileout for this ticket was sent to etoys-dev on 8 August.  What is attached here is the second revision, dated 12 August 2009.  Here's the preamble to the revised version:

--------

"Change Set:		projectInfoPopUps-sw
Date:			8 August 2009
Author:			Scott Wallace

Revised verson of 12 Aug 2009 makes the following changes requested by Tim:
  -- wording of 'Age' changed to 'Target Age'.
  -- wording of the (none) choice in the pop-ups changed to '(optional: click to choose)'
  --  latest official category codes obtained from the web site, when possible, each time the project-info dialog is put up (but for the moment this does *not* include the region codes; once a plausibly short list of region codes is available on the web site, we can import them as well.)

Also, a missing HTTPSocket method is provided.

----

Original 8 August preamble:

Changes to the project-info dialog, in support of new data desired for the 'showcase' on squeakland.org:

-  'Sub-Category' removed.
-  'Category' appears as 'Subject'.
-  Subject, Age, and Region are added as pop-ups.
-  Choices for Subject, Age, Region popups, and corresponding codes, obtainable from web-site.
-  Project manifest now includes Age, and Region info.  Subject is represented as before as projectcategory. The codes are strings of numbers, e.g. '554' as a Subject code means 'Language Arts'
     (look in #defaultAgeTriplets, #defaultSubjectTriplets, #defaultRegionTriplets on class-side of EToyProjectDetailsMorph.)
-  Names of fields are presented to the user in localized form.
-  Values of pop-up fields are presented to the user in localized form.

Note:  The *region* codes are at present *not* obtained from the web-site, but rather a 'fake' set of regions, basically the continents, is provided.  This is probably temporary.
