Questions about Customization of the Planteome AmiGO 2.x version:

From the email discussion:

• Customizing templates: Is there a way to just specify a new template path? I can modify the files in the current templates folder, but this seems like the wrong way to do it.
  • SC:Yes there is, although it has not been specified as a config variable (we can change that)--we kept this usecase in mind during the last major refactor. That said, it might be doable to simply have a fork that changes the template pathing variable--that way you could stay current and still make arbitrary changes.
  • Seth is making the change in upstream AmiGO on git. As long as our fork is merged and we moved to match current master, this will happen soon.

• xrefs: How can I add new xrefs so that the links in the "Mappings"tabs work?- In 1.5, I would modify Namemunger.pm, in 1.8 I would modify go-db-perl/t/data/GO.xrf_abbs then run a modified make_dblinks.pl that didn't pull the GO.xrf_abbs file from CVS new each time, but this always seemed like a terrible hack on my part. Even so, I don't see a comparable method in AmiGO2. I'm sure there is a better way to do it.
  • SC: We're all about yaml files now https://github.com/geneontology/go-site/blob/master/metadata/db-xrefs.yaml Depending on the exact use, the YAML files are only part of it: we also have all sorts of customizable low-level overrides for various display handlers, as well as easy overrides in the JS linker "class". Again, it's easy enough to isolate that particular YAML pick-up as a variable and generalize it all.
  • Discussion also pointed out that we can modify this in git and have it pushed to upstream. All xrefs would then be globally available.

• What adds the text to "Last file loaded on"? On mine, it just has "???". I thought I found this once, but can't find it again, and thought this would be part of the golr/Makefile.
  • SC: This is generated by a specially structured (simple TSV) file generated by the loader; if found, as specified by a runtime variable, it will display the date, etc

• Filters not being saved on clicking back- we already have issue tracker open: #50- Is this something that can be fixed easily downstream??
  • SC: No, it's something that I'm personally not a huge fan of behavior-wise. We have a fairly good bookmarking mechanism now that could help out with that, but some nice re-draw code would have to be added so it wasn't excessively "jerky".

• Being able to pin multiple filters, i.e. being able to select both "plant_anatomy" and "plant_trait_ontology" from the list of "Ontology sources" at the same time, or being able to select multiple species in the annotation search. I suppose this works by selecting the "-" rather than the "+" and choosing all the ones we don't want, but it seems a bit more intuitive to choose the ones we do want rather than those we don't. Plus we have something like 50 species, and probably will add more moving forward.
  • SC: In addition to what Chris mentioned, there are a couple of options that could be explored at the manager API level that might not be too disruptive, but would require a little work, see: #5. While icky, this is something that can also be specified at the Solr level, but I wouldn't.

Points from the Meeting

• Question and discussion about the best way to keep in sync with the revised version of AmiGO2- recommend making a new fork with the new version (2.3x) and adding in the customizations
• Timeline for rolling out??
• Using master vs a branch?
• Goal is to move main Planteome page to the AmiGO 2.0
• Do we need a separate SolR instance? Need to go through Sys admin- Chris Sullivan
• term enrichment
• Customizing the look and feel for Planteome

• Need to see that the links + mappings are working e.g. MaizeGDB links go to archive site
  • Discussion of the YAML file

• Main GO AmiGO Repository is: AmiGO and also https://github.com/geneontology/go-site
  • Planteome fork was created https://github.com/Planteome/amigo

• Issue Japanese characters not rendering properly-
  • Japanese fonts were fixed in master.
