Status
Website Upgrade
The upgrade to MVC3 is in progress. Most of the content has been upgraded.
Projects
The status of various projects follow.
JPolite
Jpolite is a JQuery plugin to provide a single page web application.
There are two jpolite demonstration sites. The first is a MVC version of the Jpolite web site. The loading of Modules and JSON data is handled by the server. The second application is a slide show viewer. This integrates the galleria plugin into the Jpolite single page application.
Additional slide shows and a reorganisation is required.
Uksoft
The UKsoft web site currently offers family tree software. The family tree viewer is a single webpage that runs without a web server. Data is loaded from an XML file and is displayed using javascript routines.
A JQuery desktop has been used to improve the UI.
History Group
The history group database is a project for storing all information collected and written by the history group. This is a web based application using IIS Express and SQL Compact 4.
Currently I am waiting for a laptop to install the software. Then the data can be loaded and the search features can be properly developed.
Websites
Some HTML content was stored in XML files in the App_Data directory. This continued from the time when the bizcraft websites used ASP.NET 2 (no MVC). This content is being moved into Razor Views and PartialViews. This allows better control over HTML content and should allow better caching.
The use of SQL Compact 4 is currently working well on the development system, but not on the live server. The stack trace shows a permissions problem. Will continue to investigate.
