2006OCT241438

So here we have the new admin screen I've modified from the previous screen I showed in 2006OCT152139. In this screen I simply had:

 

* title

* description

* date created

* date updated

 

This new entry now has the following fields:

 

* title

* summary !

* description

* tags !

* date created

* date updated

 

The new fields are indicated with a shreik, '!'. Not many changes but what a difference they make. The first, summary means I can scan posts for the nuggets that interest me instead of dealving into the body of a post. The second, tags allows me to add *lots* of tags in an easy way.

 

The workflow now is,

 

* type up into nextgen admin

- new

- add title

- add summary

- add description, (with awful restructedtext markup)

- add tags

- click date created & updated

 

* add data to flickr

- cut + paste description text into flickr text

- cut + paste tags into flickr tag box

 

Now it won't take a rocket scientist to realise if I can capture this at the source I can upload this data using code. But for the moment the above process will do till I iron out the kinks. Some things to note.

 

* tags are de-normalised (in 1 field in the Entry.tags field) will later be extracted & normalised into a Tags.name field

* cut + paste rocks,

- especially the tags which I cut & paste into the field

where they are chopped by whitespace into individual tages.

- something I'm going to copy.
