[CWB] Problems adding corpus

[Hardie, Andrew]

Hi Matthias,

a lot of these have been fixed. Please upgrade your code to v3.2.3, try again, and let me know what bugs remain. 

In particular,

>>3. I cannot change the datatype of the XML-metadata

That's by design. You will need to change the datatype *of the XML attribute itself* (since in 3.2 XML attributes have datatypes, which before they didn't). Then, the datatype of the XML will be carried across to the text metadata table.

It will all work fine if you specified the right datatype when you indexed the corpus. However, for old corpora, or those indexed on the commandline and then imported, this is obviously a problem, it needs to be possible to change the datatype. 

Doing the UI for this is on my list, but first I need to actually implement underlying storage for XML datatypes other than free text!

best

Andrew.

Subject: [CWB] Problems adding corpus

Hello there,

I've encountered some major problems while using / installing CWB:

1. When I install the 3.2.0 release, the table xml_metadata is not getting created
After manually creating it ("copied" from a running instance), while adding a corpus a new problem rose:

2. The link for Adding Metadata from XML is not displayed
I then changed some files to the trunk version - so that is fixed. But then:

3. I cannot change the datatype of the XML-metadata
There is no dropdown field displayed, only "free text" written. I manually changed the code (uncommented a few lines) so that that is displayed. But after that:

4. No Classification metadata gets added, it is only added as "free text" despite the selection in the dropdown field.

I changed a lot of code to the current "trunk" version so that some things work (I cannt check out from SVN due to firewall restrictions). The last Problem now is:

5. While creating CWB frequency table, PHP error arose: (from apache's error_log) "Undefined variable: corpus in freqtable-cwb.inc.php on line 76"

Can you somehow help me / guide me in the right direction? I know these are a lot of issues - but the vanilla 3.2 from sourceforge does not work initially for me, that's why I tried various workarounds.

Best,
Matthias
