Scott Wallace commented on SQ-299:
----------------------------------

Education meeting notes, 4 Sept 09, state: "All categories should allow multiselection, because there are cross-subject projects, projects suitable for all age groups, even projects from participants from different countries."

However, this request comes too late in the development cycle to contemplate implementing it before the summer '09 release goes final later this week.

So as a fallback, the choice probably needs to be made among:

(a) Stick with single-selection categories for the time being; go multi later when someone can find time to implement it.

(b) Use free-form type-ins for anything that ultimately wants multi-selection.

(c) Don't include those items in the project-info dialog until multi-selection popups (and corresponding server-side readiness for such multi-selection) can be implemented, hopefully in time for the winter 2010 release.

>      Project: squeakland
>         Type: Improvement
>   Components: etoys
>     Reporter: Scott Wallace
>      Fix For: etoys 4.0 - summer 2009
>  Attachments: projectInfoPopUps-sw.12.cs.gz, projectInfoPopUps-sw.16.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.
> ------
