Goings on under the covers

No new manuscripts so far this week, but there have been some useful improvements under the covers, including finally starting work on the last piece of obvious simple functionality:

  • Unit tests for the html class. Somehow I never wrote these, well they are now in place for the html_error function
  • Beginning work on standardized argument processing. The code is in place for CGI variables to be verified if they are meant to be an integer in a range. Currently this is only in use by the date_detail function, which is not complete, but it will be extended to other places where an integer is expected. Note that this is part of the html class, but not yet unit tested.
  • Started work on the date_detail function. This will display all known entries for a given date, either as day number or as month/day. Incomplete, but at least work has begun finally
  • Moved the grid of entries out of the template for the saintdetail to a stand-alone template. Hopefully will be reused by the datedetail function
