# Instructions # 2018-08-14 # Philip Sargent Wookey told me to sort out the contents.json files in expofiles/surveyscans/2018/ and these are my notes to remind myself what this entails. The job is to populate the contents.json file in each folder, e.g. expofiles/surveyscans/2018/2018#03/contents.json using the following input materials: - the wallet 2018#03 and the papers inside it. This is in the 2018 lever-arch file. - the folder in repo 'loser' holding the appropriate .svx files e.g. "caves-1623/2017-cucc-24/gshclimb.svx" - the script expofiles/surveyscans/2018/make.py (run by "python make.py") the "make.py" script creates index.html files in each folder /2018/2018#nn/ and creates or updates a webpage for each person listed in any of the contents.json files in the folder/2018/ e.g. "Becka Lawson.html". The script make.py requires that the //loser// repo is populated on the machien that you run the script on so that it can find the.svx files. Do not run this script on the expo server itself as the loser repo is in the wrong place and all the .svx files will be flagged as "not found" (Paul Fox did this once). Before doing anything else, run make.py. This will create empty template contents.json files in each folder. You may need to create missing folders,e.g. I just had to create /2018/2018#30 to #32. Every time you finish entering the data in contents.json in a folder, run make.py to update the "person" html files and to re-generate the index.html file for the 2018 folder as a whole (surveyscans/2018/index.html). But make.py does not delete old files which are not regenerated. So it is a good idea to delete all the .html files before running it. The first difficulty is finding out which cave a wallet describes.. The wallet may say "radaghost to blitzkriek" (or whatever) but without the name of the cave you can't find the .svx files as you don't know that you need to look in e.g. loser/caves-1626/2018-dm-07/ Usually this is written by hand on the label of the wallet. There are ambiguities about how the entries in the contents.json actually lead to reminder instructions in the html files produced, and this is particularly difficult for electronic caves where the topo files are missing and for surface prospecting where it is not clear which of the actions should be done and thus which products should be produced. This needs to be documented. For prospecting and surface surveying it is not clear whether the default folder for the url link should be repo //loser// surface/1623/allplateau.svx When there are more than one .svx file there seems to be no way of recording the list in contents.json so it is impossible to tell what was done on that trip or whether there is anything missing. This is especially true if it was electronic and the .topo files are missing. Wookey confirms that this ios the case. make.py will not overwrite any contents.json file, it only creates one where one doesn't exist. make.py also creates an index.html file inside each wallet folder dewcribing the status of this folder. This is linked from the index.html file created in /2018/ by the script which summarises everything for this year. NAMING The script detects if there are notesX.jpg planX.jpg and elevX.jpgfiles present, and produces a reminder/warning if they are not,even if these have all been scanned and given different names. The job of the checker (perhaps on a second pass) if to rename files so that these warnings disappear. HINT When there are a lot on wallets all with the same cave, make your own template with the cave name and the right folder prefix for the svx folder (in the loser repo) and copy it in to all those wallet folders - overwriting the blank template produced by the make.py
This will be replaced with the information you want as soon as someone gets around to writing it. Why not find out how to do this yourself ?
