Browsing Kofa¶

Here we visit parts of a Kofa portal using a browser.

University¶

We can watch universities in the browser.

We create an university object and put into the ZODB root:

>>> root = getRootFolder()
>>> list(root)
[]

>>> from waeup.kofa.app import University
>>> u = University()
>>> root['myuniversity'] = u
>>> list(root)
[u'myuniversity']

>>> from zope.component.hooks import setSite
>>> setSite(root['myuniversity'])

To make sure, we can ‘watch’ pages, we first have to initialize out test browser:

>>> from zope.testbrowser.testing import Browser
>>> browser = Browser()

Let’s get the default view of a university:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity')
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...Welcome to WAeUP.Kofa...
...

We can change to German:

>>> browser.getLink('de').click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...Anfragen...
...

And then change back to English by clicking on the third link containing ‘en’ behind ‘Anfragen’ and ‘Einloggen’:

>>> browser.getLink('en', index=2).click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...Enquiries...
...

The contact form for anonymous users is called ‘Enquiries’:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity')
>>> browser.getLink('Enquiries').click()
>>> browser.getControl('Send').click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...Required input is missing...
...

>>> browser.getControl(name='form.fullname').value = "Bob Tester"
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.email_from').value = "xx@yy.zz"
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.body').value = u'test message'
>>> browser.getControl('Send').click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...Your message has been sent...
...

Registered users with an email address can request a password change:

>>> root['myuniversity']['users'].addUser('forgetful', 'secret',title='Bob Forgetful',
...                               description='A forgetful user', email='aa@aa.ng')
>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/changepw')
>>> browser.getControl(name="form.identifier").value = 'forgetful'
>>> browser.getControl(name="form.email").value = 'aa@aa.ng'
>>> browser.getControl("Send login credentials").click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...An email with your user name and password has been sent to aa@aa.ng...

Now we login as manager:

>>> browser.addHeader('Authorization', 'Basic mgr:mgrpw')
>>> browser.handleErrors = False

We can then get an edit view of the configuration container:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/configuration')
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...<form action="http://localhost/myuniversity/configuration/@@index"
...

The edit form contains the default value for the university name:

>>> 'Sample University' in browser.contents
True

We can perform several actions on the edit form:

>>> browser.getControl("Save", index=0).click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...Form has been saved...
...

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/configuration')
>>> browser.getControl("Update plugins").click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...Plugins were updated. See log file for details...
...

The default frontpage HTML has been saved in a dictionary and is properly rendered on the frontpage of the portal:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity')
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...<h1>Welcome to WAeUP.Kofa...</h1>
...

The German part is really not being rendered:

>>> 'Willkommen' in browser.contents
False

If we change to German so that the German part of frontpage.rst is rendered:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity//@@change_language?lang=de')
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...<h1>Willkommen auf WAeUP.Kofa...</h1>
...

The English part is really not being rendered:

>>> 'Welcome' in browser.contents
False

Switch back to English:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity//@@change_language?lang=en')

Officers¶

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity')
>>> browser.getLink('Officers').click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...Officers...
...

We can add officers:

>>> browser.getLink("Add officer").click()
>>> browser.getControl(name="form.name").value = 'bob'
>>> browser.getControl(name="form.title").value = 'Bob The User'
>>> browser.getControl(name="form.email").value = 'xx@yy.zz'
>>> browser.getControl(name="form.phone.country").value = ['+234']
>>> browser.getControl(name="form.phone.area").value = '123'
>>> browser.getControl(name="form.phone.ext").value = '45678'
>>> browser.getControl(name="password").value = 'secret'
>>> browser.getControl(name="control_password").value = 'secret'
>>> browser.getControl("Add officer").click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...Passwords must be at least 8 characters long...
>>> browser.getControl(name="password").value = 'TOP4secret'
>>> browser.getControl(name="control_password").value = 'TOP4secret'
>>> browser.getControl("Add officer").click()

We have been redirected to the Send Password page:

>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...Send user a new password...
...

We can edit user bob:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/users')
>>> browser.getControl("Manage", index=0).click()
>>> browser.getControl("Save", index=0).click()
>>> browser.getControl("Cancel", index=0).click()

We can add site roles which are then displayed on the user container page. Since the test browser does not use javascript, we have to add site roles manually by setting the roles attribute:

>>> print root['myuniversity']['users']['bob'].roles
[]
>>> root['myuniversity']['users']['bob'].roles = ['waeup.ApplicationsOfficer']
>>> print root['myuniversity']['users']['bob'].roles
['waeup.ApplicationsOfficer']
>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/users')
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...<td nowrap>Applications Officer (view only) <br /></td>
...

Officers can’t be added twice:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/users/add')
>>> browser.getControl(name="form.name").value = 'bob'
>>> browser.getControl(name="form.title").value = 'Bob The User'
>>> browser.getControl(name="password").value = 'TOP4secret'
>>> browser.getControl(name="control_password").value = 'TOP4secret'
>>> browser.getControl(name="form.email").value = 'xx@yy.zz'
>>> browser.getControl(name="form.phone.country").value = ['+234']
>>> browser.getControl(name="form.phone.area").value = '123'
>>> browser.getControl(name="form.phone.ext").value = '45678'
>>> browser.getControl("Add officer").click()
>>> 'The userid chosen already exists' in browser.contents
True

Officers can be deleted:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/users')
>>> browser.getControl("Remove", index=0).click()
>>> 'User account bob successfully deleted' in browser.contents
True

Contact Form¶

Let’s enter the contact form:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/contactadmin')
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...Contact
...

We fill the form (this will send a real message to contact@waeup.org):

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/contactadmin')
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.body').value = "test message"
>>> browser.getControl('Send').click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...Your message has been sent...
...

If this test fails, chances are, that the local machine has no SMTP server installed.

Faculties¶

Faculties are stored in a special container of IUniversity instances. The container is called faculties and provides an add-form to add new faculties:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/manage')
>>> browser.getControl('Add faculty').click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...*...
...<span>Name of faculty</span>:
...
>>> browser.getControl('Cancel').click()
>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/add')

We fill in a new name for our new faculty:

>>> ctrl = browser.getControl(name='form.title')
>>> ctrl.value = 'TestFac'

Furthermore we add a prefix and a code (kind of abbreviation):

>>> browser.getControl(name='form.code').value = 'TF'

Finally we click on ‘Add Faculty’ to add the new thing:

>>> browser.getControl('Add faculty').click()

We can view a faculty by browsing a URL like this:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF')

Afterwards, the faculty should be visible:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties')
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
...<h1 class="kofa-content-label">Academic Section</h1>
...<td> <a href="http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF"> <span>TF</span></a></td>
...

We can ‘visit’ each faculty by clicking on the appropriate link:

>>> browser.getLink('TF').click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...Faculty of TestFac (TF)...
...

If we add the same faculty twice, an error message will occur:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/add')
>>> ctrl = browser.getControl(name='form.title')
>>> ctrl.value = 'TestFac'
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.code').value = 'TF'
>>> browser.getControl('Add faculty').click()
>>> 'The faculty code chosen already exists.' in browser.contents
True

Modifying faculties¶

A faculty can directly be reached by its code:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF')

We can change the settings for a faculty by clicking on the provided ‘Manage faculty’ button:

>>> browser.getLink('Manage faculty').click()

Let’s set a new title and save the form:

>>> browser.getControl(name='form.title').value = "My renamed faculty"
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.actions.save').click()

Our faculty was indeed renamed to My renamed faculty:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties')
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...<h1 class="kofa-content-label">Academic Section</h1>
...<td> <a href="http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF"> <span>TF</span></a></td>
...<td>Faculty of My renamed faculty (TF)</td>
...

We can grant local roles:

>>> root['myuniversity']['users'].addUser('bob', 'secret',title='Bob',
...                               description='A sample user')
>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF/manage')
>>> browser.getControl(name="user").value = ['bob']
>>> browser.getControl(
...     name="local_role").value = ['waeup.local.DepartmentManager']
>>> browser.getControl("Add local role").click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...<td>bob</td>
...

On the officers page the new local role is displayed:

>>> browser.getLink("Officers").click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...<td>Department Manager:...
...

The local role can be removed again:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF/manage')
>>> ctrl = browser.getControl(name='role_id')
>>> browser.getControl("Remove selected local roles").click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...No local role selected...
...

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF/manage')
>>> ctrl = browser.getControl(name='role_id')
>>> ctrl.getControl(value='bob|waeup.local.DepartmentManager').selected = True
>>> browser.getControl("Remove selected local roles").click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...Local role successfully removed...
...

Deleting faculties¶

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/manage')
>>> browser.getControl('Cancel').click()
>>> print browser.url
http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties
>>> browser.getLink('Manage academic section').click()
>>> browser.getControl('Add faculty').click()
>>> ctrl = browser.getControl(name='form.title')
>>> ctrl.value = 'Second Faculty'
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.code').value = 'TF2'
>>> browser.getControl('Add faculty').click()
>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/manage')
>>> browser.getControl("Remove selected", index=0).click()
>>> 'No item selected' in browser.contents
True
>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/manage')
>>> ctrl = browser.getControl(name='val_id')
>>> ctrl.getControl(value='TF2').selected = True
>>> browser.getControl("Remove selected", index=0).click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...Successfully removed:...
...

Departments¶

Adding departments¶

Departments are stored in IFaculty instances with their code as key. Faculties therefore are also department containers. Faculties provides an add-form to add new departments:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF/add')
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...*</span>
...<span>Name of department</span>:
...
>>> browser.getControl('Cancel').click()
>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF/add')

We fill in a new name for our new department:

>>> ctrl = browser.getControl(name='form.title')
>>> ctrl.value = 'TestDept'

Furthermore we add a code (kind of abbreviation):

>>> browser.getControl(name='form.code').value = 'TD'

Finally we click on ‘Add Department’ to add the new thing:

>>> browser.getControl('Add department').click()

If we try to register a department under the same code twice we will get an error:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF/add')
>>> ctrl = browser.getControl(name='form.title')
>>> ctrl.value = 'Another TestDept with same code'
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.code').value = 'TD'
>>> browser.getControl('Add department').click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...The code chosen already exists in this faculty...
...

We can view a department by browsing a URL like this:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF/TD')

Afterwards, the department should be visible:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF')
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...<h1 class="kofa-content-label">Faculty of My renamed faculty (TF)</h1>
...<td> <a href="http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF/TD"> <span>TD</span></a></td>
...<td>Department of TestDept (TD)</td>
...

Modifying departments¶

We can change the settings for a department by clicking on the provided ‘Edit department’ button:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF/TD')
>>> browser.getLink('Manage department').click()

Let’s set a new title and save the form:

>>> browser.getControl(name='form.title').value = "My test dept"
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.actions.save').click()

Clicking ‘Save’ we will stay on the settings form. So we can change the department again.

>>> browser.getControl(name='form.title').value = "My renamed dept"
>>> ctrl = browser.getControl("Save")
>>> ctrl.click()

Our department was indeed renamed to My renamed dept:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF')
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
...<h1 class="kofa-content-label">Faculty of My renamed faculty (TF)</h1>
...<td> <a href="http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF/TD"> <span>TD</span></a></td>
...<td>Department of My renamed dept (TD)</td>
...

We can grant local roles:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF/TD/manage')
>>> browser.getControl(name="user").value = ['bob']
>>> browser.getControl(
...     name="local_role").value = ['waeup.local.DepartmentManager']
>>> browser.getControl("Add local role").click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...<td>bob</td>
...

The local role can be removed again:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF/TD/manage')
>>> ctrl = browser.getControl(name='role_id')
>>> browser.getControl("Remove selected local roles").click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...No local role selected...
...

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF/TD/manage')
>>> ctrl = browser.getControl(name='role_id')
>>> ctrl.getControl(
...     value='bob|waeup.local.DepartmentManager').selected = True
>>> browser.getControl("Remove selected local roles").click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...Local role successfully removed...
...

Deleting departments¶

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF/manage')
>>> browser.getControl('Cancel', index=0).click()
>>> print browser.url
http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF
>>> browser.getLink('Manage faculty').click()
>>> browser.getControl('Add department').click()
>>> ctrl = browser.getControl(name='form.title')
>>> ctrl.value = 'Second Department'
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.code').value = 'TD2'
>>> browser.getControl('Add department').click()
>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF/manage')
>>> browser.getControl("Remove selected", index=0).click()
>>> 'No item selected' in browser.contents
True
>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF/manage')
>>> ctrl = browser.getControl(name='val_id')
>>> ctrl.getControl(value='TD2').selected = True
>>> browser.getControl("Remove selected", index=0).click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...

Courses¶

Once we have a department, we can add courses.

Adding courses¶

Courses are stored in ICoursesContainer instances with their code as key. CoursesContainers are normally availabe as course attribute of waeup.kofa.university.department.Department instances.

To ease the life of officers we do not require to browse the coursescontainers (which have a rather flat user interface), but provide adding of courses in department views.

Each department provides a Add course action button near top.

Departments provide an add-form to add new courses:

>>> dept_url = 'http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF/TD'
>>> browser.open(dept_url + '/manage')
>>> browser.getControl('Add course').click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...*</span>
...<span>Title of course</span>:
...

We fill in a name for our new course:

>>> ctrl = browser.getControl(name='form.title')
>>> ctrl.value = 'My Course 1'

Furthermore we add a code (kind of abbreviation):

>>> browser.getControl(name='form.code').value = 'COURSE1'

This course will take place in the the first semester, so we set the semester value to 1:

>>> ctrl = browser.getControl(name='form.semester')
>>> ctrl.options
['1', '4', '2', '5', '6', '3', '11', '12', '13', '9']

>>> ctrl.displayOptions
['1st Semester', '1st Term', '2nd Semester', '2nd Term', '3rd Term', 'Combined', 'Module I', 'Module II', 'Module III', 'N/A']

>>> ctrl.value = ['1']

Finally, we create the course:

>>> browser.getControl('Add course').click()

If we try to register a course under the same code twice we will get an error:

>>> browser.open(dept_url + '/addcourse')
>>> ctrl = browser.getControl(name='form.title')
>>> ctrl.value = 'Another course with same code'
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.code').value = 'COURSE1'
>>> browser.getControl('Add course').click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...A course with same code already exists:...
...

Our course will be linked under the code on the department page:

>>> browser.open(dept_url)
>>> browser.getLink('COURSE1').click()
>>> browser.url
'http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF/TD/courses/COURSE1'

Before we really add a course we can cancel the action and will be redirected to the department page:

>>> browser.open(dept_url + '/addcourse')
>>> browser.getControl('Cancel').click()
>>> browser.url
'http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF/TD'

Modifying courses¶

We can change the settings for a course by clicking on the provided ‘Edit settings’ link:

>>> browser.open(dept_url + '/courses/COURSE1')
>>> browser.getLink('Edit course').click()

When modifying a course, we cannot change the code any more:

>>> browser.getControl(name='form.code')
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
LookupError: name 'form.code'
available items:
  <TextControl(form.title=My Course 1)>
  ...

Let’s set a new title and save the form:

>>> browser.getControl(name='form.title').value = "My test course"
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.actions.save').click()

Clicking ‘Save’ we will stay on the settings form. So we can change the course again. If we click Cancel nothing will be changed:

>>> browser.getControl(name='form.title').value = "Blah"
>>> browser.getControl('Cancel').click()

Our course was not renamed to Blah:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF/TD')
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...<td>My test course</td>...
...

Searching courses¶

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/search')
>>> browser.getControl(name='query').value = "My test course"
>>> browser.getControl('Search').click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...faculties/TF/TD/courses/COURSE1">COURSE1</a>
...

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/search')
>>> browser.getControl(name='query').value = "COURSE1"
>>> browser.getControl('Search').click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...faculties/TF/TD/courses/COURSE1">COURSE1</a>
...

>>> browser.getControl(name='query').value = "Nonsense"
>>> browser.getControl('Search').click()
>>> 'Search Results' in browser.contents
False
>>> '<div class="alert alert-warning">No object found.</div>' in browser.contents
True

>>> browser.getControl(name='query').value = ""
>>> browser.getControl('Search').click()
>>> 'Empty search string' in browser.contents
True

We can grant local roles:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF/TD/courses/COURSE1/manage')
>>> browser.getControl(name="user").value = ['bob']
>>> browser.getControl(
...     name="local_role").value = ['waeup.local.Lecturer']
>>> browser.getControl("Add local role").click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...<td>bob</td>
...

On the portal user page the new local role is displayed:

>>> browser.getLink("Officers").click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...<td>Lecturer:...
...

The local role can be removed again:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF/TD/courses/COURSE1/manage')
>>> ctrl = browser.getControl(name='role_id')
>>> browser.getControl("Remove selected local roles").click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...No local role selected...
...

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF/TD/courses/COURSE1/manage')
>>> ctrl = browser.getControl(name='role_id')
>>> ctrl.getControl(value='bob|waeup.local.Lecturer').selected = True
>>> browser.getControl("Remove selected local roles").click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...Local role successfully removed...
...

Deleting courses¶

We can delete courses by browsing the manage page of the containing department and checking the appropriate select box and clicking the ´´Remove selected´´ button.

>>> browser.open(
...     'http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF/TD/@@manage#tab-2')
>>> 'My test course' in browser.contents
True

>>> browser.getControl('Cancel', index=0).click()
>>> browser.getLink('Manage department').click()
>>> browser.getControl('Remove selected courses').click()
>>> 'No item selected' in browser.contents
True

>>> browser.getControl(
...    name='val_id').getControl(value='COURSE1').selected = True
>>> browser.getControl('Remove selected courses').click()

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF/TD')
>>> 'My renamed course' in browser.contents
False

Deleting departments with courses¶

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF/manage')
>>> browser.getControl('Cancel', index=0).click()
>>> browser.getLink('Manage faculty').click()
>>> browser.getControl('Add department').click()
>>> ctrl = browser.getControl(name='form.title')
>>> ctrl.value = 'Third Department'
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.code').value = 'TD3'
>>> browser.getControl('Add department').click()
>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF/TD3/manage')
>>> browser.getControl('Add course').click()
>>> ctrl = browser.getControl(name='form.title')
>>> ctrl.value = 'My Course 5'
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.code').value = 'COURSE5'
>>> browser.getControl('Add course').click()
>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF/manage')
>>> ctrl = browser.getControl(name='val_id')
>>> ctrl.getControl(value='TD3').selected = True
>>> browser.getControl("Remove selected", index=0).click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...Successfully removed:...

Certificates¶

Once we have a department, we can add also certificates.

Adding certificates¶

Certificates are stored in ICertificatesContainer instances with their code as key. CertificatesContainers are normally availabe as certificates attribute of waeup.kofa.university.department.Department instances.

To ease the life of officers we do not require to browse the certificatescontainers (which have in fact no user interface), but provide adding of certificates in department views.

Each department provides a Add certificate action button near top.

Departments provide an add-form to add new certificates:

>>> dept_url = 'http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF/TD'
>>> browser.open(dept_url + '/manage')
>>> browser.getControl('Add certificate').click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...*</span>
...<span>Title</span>:
...

We fill in a name for our new cert:

>>> ctrl = browser.getControl(name='form.title')
>>> ctrl.value = 'My Certificate 1'

Furthermore we add a code (kind of abbreviation):

>>> browser.getControl(name='form.code').value = 'CERT1'

Set the remaining required fields:

>>> browser.getControl(name='form.study_mode').value = ['ug_ft']
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.start_level').value = ['100']
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.end_level').value = ['400']
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.application_category').value = ['basic']

Finally, we create the certificate:

>>> browser.getControl('Add certificate').click()

If we try to register a certificate under the same code twice we will get an error:

>>> browser.open(dept_url + '/addcertificate')
>>> ctrl = browser.getControl(name='form.title')
>>> ctrl.value = 'Another cert with same code'
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.code').value = 'CERT1'
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.study_mode').value = ['ug_ft']
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.start_level').value = ['100']
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.end_level').value = ['400']
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.application_category').value = ['basic']

>>> browser.getControl('Add certificate').click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...A certificate with same code already exists:...
...

Our certificate will be linked under the code on the department page:

>>> browser.open(dept_url)
>>> browser.getLink('CERT1').click()
>>> browser.url
'http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF/TD/certificates/CERT1'

Before we really add a certificate we can cancel the action and will be redirected to the department page:

>>> browser.open(dept_url + '/addcertificate')
>>> browser.getControl('Cancel').click()
>>> browser.url
'http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF/TD'

Modifying certificates¶

We can change the settings for a cert by clicking on the provided ‘Edit certificate’ link:

>>> browser.open(dept_url + '/certificates/CERT1')
>>> browser.getLink('Manage certificate').click()

When modifying a certificate, we cannot change the code any more:

>>> browser.getControl(name='form.code')
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
LookupError: name 'form.code'
available items:
  <TextControl(form.title=My Certificate 1)>
  ...

Let’s set a new title and save the form:

>>> browser.getControl(name='form.title').value = "My test cert"
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.actions.save').click()

Clicking ‘Save’ we will stay on the settings form. So we can change the cert again.

>>> browser.getControl(name='form.title').value = "My renamed cert"
>>> ctrl = browser.getControl("Save",index=0)
>>> ctrl.click()

If we go to the settings page and click Cancel nothing will be changed:

>>> browser.getControl(name='form.title').value = "Blah"
>>> browser.getControl('Cancel',index=0).click()

Our certificate was indeed renamed to My renamed cert and not to Blah:

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF/TD')
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...<td>My renamed cert</td>...
...

Searching certificates¶

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/search')
>>> browser.getControl(name='query').value = "My renamed cert"
>>> browser.getControl('Search').click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...faculties/TF/TD/certificates/CERT1">CERT1</a>
...

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/search')
>>> browser.getControl(name='query').value = "CERT1"
>>> browser.getControl('Search').click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...faculties/TF/TD/certificates/CERT1">CERT1</a>
...

Deleting certificates¶

We can delete certificates by browsing the manage page of the containing department and checking the appropriate select box and clicking the ´´Remove selected´´ button.

>>> browser.open(
...    'http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF/TD/@@manage#tab-3')
>>> 'My renamed cert' in browser.contents
True

>>> browser.getControl('Remove selected certificates').click()
>>> 'No item selected' in browser.contents
True

>>> browser.getControl(name='val_id').getControl(
...    value='CERT1').selected = True
>>> browser.getControl('Remove selected certificates').click()
>>> 'My renamed cert' in browser.contents
False

Certificate Courses¶

Once we have a certificate, we can add also certificate courses. These are referrers of courses with some extra data.

Before we can work with certificate courses, we need some certificates and courses to be available.

>>> browser.open(dept_url + '/addcourse')
>>> ctrl = browser.getControl(name='form.title')
>>> ctrl.value = 'Another course with same code'
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.code').value = 'COURSE1'
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.title').value = 'Course 1'
>>> browser.getControl('Add course').click()

>>> browser.open(dept_url + '/addcourse')
>>> ctrl = browser.getControl(name='form.title')
>>> ctrl.value = 'Another course with same code'
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.code').value = 'COURSE2'
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.title').value = 'Course 2'
>>> browser.getControl('Add course').click()

>>> browser.open(dept_url + '/addcertificate')
>>> ctrl = browser.getControl(name='form.title')
>>> ctrl.value = 'Another cert with same code'
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.code').value = 'CERT1'
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.title').value = 'Certificate 1'
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.study_mode').value = ['ug_ft']
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.start_level').value = ['100']
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.end_level').value = ['400']
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.application_category').value = ['basic']
>>> browser.getControl('Add certificate').click()

>>> browser.open(dept_url + '/addcertificate')
>>> ctrl = browser.getControl(name='form.title')
>>> ctrl.value = 'Another cert with same code'
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.code').value = 'CERT2'
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.title').value = 'Certificate 2'
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.study_mode').value = ['ug_ft']
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.start_level').value = ['100']
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.end_level').value = ['400']
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.application_category').value = ['basic']
>>> browser.getControl('Add certificate').click()

Adding certificate courses¶

Certcourses are stored in ICertificate instances with their code as key.

Each certificate provides a Add certificate course action button near top.

Certificates provide an add-form to add new certcourses:

>>> cert_url = dept_url + '/certificates/CERT1'
>>> browser.open(cert_url + '/manage')
>>> browser.getControl('Add certificate course').click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...*</span>
...<span>Level</span>:
...

In the add-form we will get a list of available courses to select from. This list will contain all courses stored in the site, not only the ones from local department:

>>> ctrl = browser.getControl(name='form.course')
>>> ctrl.displayOptions
['--', 'COURSE1 - Course 1', 'COURSE2 - Course 2']

We select the first course and create our certificate course:

>>> ctrl.getControl('COURSE1').selected = True
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.level').value = ['100']
>>> browser.getControl('Add certificate course').click()

Our certificate course will be linked on the parent certificate page:

>>> browser.open(cert_url)
>>> browser.getLink('COURSE1_100').click()
>>> browser.url
'http://localhost/my...sity/faculties/TF/TD/certificates/CERT1/COURSE1_100'

We can’t add the same certificate course twice:

>>> cert_url = dept_url + '/certificates/CERT1'
>>> browser.open(cert_url + '/manage')
>>> browser.getControl('Add certificate course').click()
>>> ctrl = browser.getControl(name='form.course')
>>> ctrl.getControl('COURSE1').selected = True
>>> browser.getControl(name='form.level').value = ['100']
>>> browser.getControl('Add certificate course').click()
>>> 'The chosen certificate course is already' in browser.contents
True

When we started to add a new certificate course, we can also cancel the process before submitting. This will bring us back to the certificate page:

>>> browser.open(cert_url + '/addcertificatecourse')
>>> browser.getControl('Cancel').click()
>>> browser.url
'http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/TF/TD/certificates/CERT1'

Modifying certificate courses¶

We can change the settings for a certcourse by clicking on the provided ‘Edit certificate course’ link:

>>> browser.open(cert_url + '/COURSE1_100')
>>> browser.getLink('Edit certificate course').click()

If we just click ‘Save and return’ nothing will change:

>>> browser.getControl("Save").click()
>>> browser.url
'http://localhost/myun.../TF/TD/certificates/CERT1/COURSE1_100/@@manage'

Let’s set a new level (it was 100 before) and save the form. The entire certificate course will be replaced and we will be redirected to manage page afterwards:

>>> browser.getControl(name='form.level').value = ['200']
>>> browser.getControl("Save").click()
>>> browser.url
'http://localhost/myun.../TF/TD/certificates/CERT1/COURSE1_200/@@manage'

Nothing will be changed if click Cancel:

>>> browser.getControl(name='form.level').value = ['400']
>>> browser.getControl('Cancel').click()
>>> browser.url
'http://localhost/myun.../TF/TD/certificates/CERT1/COURSE1_200'

Searching certificate courses¶

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/faculties/search')
>>> browser.getControl(name='query').value = "COURSE1"
>>> browser.getControl('Search').click()
>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"...
...faculties/TF/TD/certificates/CERT1/COURSE1_200">COURSE1</a>
...

>>> browser.getControl(name='query').value = "*"
>>> browser.getControl('Search').click()
>>> 'Search string not allowed' in browser.contents
True

Deleting certificate courses¶

We can delete certcourses by browsing the containing certificate manage page:

>>> browser.open(cert_url + '/manage#tab-2')
>>> 'COURSE1_200</a>' in browser.contents
True
>>> browser.getControl('Remove selected certificate courses').click()
>>> 'No item selected' in browser.contents
True
>>> browser.getControl(name='val_id').getControl(
...    value='COURSE1_200').selected = True
>>> browser.getControl('Remove selected certificate courses').click()
>>> 'Successfully removed: COURSE1_200' in browser.contents
True

>>> 'COURSE1_200</a>' in browser.contents
False

Data Center¶

The data center helps us uploading files for later import or similar.

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity')
>>> browser.getLink('Data Center').click()

Setting the file path¶

A datacenter stores files in a path in filesystem. By default this is a directory in the sources:

>>> print browser.contents
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
...
<b>Storage path:</b> <span>.../parts/test/datacenter</span>
...

Going to ‘Settings` we can change the path:

>>> browser.getLink('Edit settings').click()
>>> pathsetting = browser.getControl(name='newpath')

We create a directory and set it as our upload path:

>>> import os
>>> cwd = os.getcwd()
>>> uploadpath = os.path.join(cwd, 'testfiles')
>>> os.mkdir(uploadpath)
>>> pathsetting.value = uploadpath

And submit the form:

>>> browser.getControl(name='save').click()

We clean up the set directory path, as there might be some files be copied some files from installation:

>>> files = os.listdir(uploadpath)
>>> for filename in files:
...   if os.path.isdir(os.path.join(uploadpath, filename)):
...     continue
...   os.unlink(os.path.join(uploadpath, filename))

We also remove any existing ‘accesscodes’ subdir:

>>> import shutil
>>> for filename in files:
...   if not os.path.isdir(os.path.join(uploadpath, filename)):
...     continue
...   if filename != 'accesscodes':
...     continue
...   shutil.rmtree(os.path.join(uploadpath, filename))

The new upload directory is now empty, except from the logs and other standard dirs, which are created automatically:

>>> sorted(os.listdir(uploadpath))
['deleted', 'finished', 'graduated', 'logs', 'unfinished']

Uploading files¶

Now we can upload files. Most interesting files might be CSV files, that can be imported lateron. We create a CSV file containing faculty descriptions:

>>> open('faculties.csv', 'wb').write(
... """code,title,title_prefix
... FA,Arts,faculty
... FS,Sciences,faculty
... """)

Now we can upload this file. To do this, we first go to the upload page:

>>> browser.getLink('Upload data').click()

and enter the appropriate data in the form:

>>> filewidget = browser.getControl(name='uploadfile:file')
>>> filewidget
<Control name='uploadfile:file' type='file'>

A sidenote for developers: by marking the filewidget with the :file extension, we tell Zope to handle this field as a file widget.

>>> import cStringIO
>>> filecontents = cStringIO.StringIO(
...   open('faculties.csv', 'rb').read())
>>> filewidget.add_file(filecontents, 'text/plain', 'myfaculties.csv')

>>> browser.getControl(name='SUBMIT').click()

The file was indeed uploaded, with the current userid inserted:

>>> sorted(os.listdir(uploadpath))
['deleted', 'finished', 'graduated', 'logs', 'myfaculties_zope.mgr.csv', 'unfinished']

We create and upload also a CSV file containing departments:

>>> open('departments.csv', 'wb').write(
... """code,title,title_prefix,faculty_code
... LIT,Literature,department,FA
... SOC,Sociology,department,FA
... PHY,Physics,department,FS
... INF,Informatics,department,FS
... MAT,Math,department,FS
... """)

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/datacenter/upload')
>>> browser.getControl(name='uploadfile:file').add_file(
...   cStringIO.StringIO(open('departments.csv', 'rb').read()),
...   'text/plain', 'mydepartments.csv')
>>> browser.getControl(name='SUBMIT').click()

We create and upload also a CSV file containing courses:

>>> open('courses.csv', 'wb').write(
... """code,level,title,passmark,credits,semester,faculty,department
... LI1,,Introduction to Literature I,40,2,1,FA,LIT
... LI2,,Introduction to Literature II,40,2,2,FA,LIT
... AN1,000,Analysis I,40,2,1,FS,MAT
... AN2,000,Analysis II,40,2,2,FS,MAT
... """)

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/datacenter/upload')
>>> browser.getControl(name='uploadfile:file').add_file(
...   cStringIO.StringIO(open('courses.csv', 'rb').read()),
...   'text/plain', 'mycourses.csv')
>>> browser.getControl(name='SUBMIT').click()

We create and upload also a CSV file containing certificates:

>>> open('certificates.csv', 'wb').write(
... """code,title,faculty_code,department_code,study_mode,end_level,m_prefix,start_level,application_category
... LBA,BACHELOR OF LITERATURE,FA,LIT,UG,ug_ft,500,LIT,100,basic
... LMA,MASTER OF LITERATURE,FA,LIT,UG,ug_pt,500,LIT,100,cest
... DME,DIPLOMA OF MATH,FS,MAT,DP,dp_ft,200,DME,100,cest
... """)

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/datacenter/upload')
>>> browser.getControl(name='uploadfile:file').add_file(
...   cStringIO.StringIO(open('certificates.csv', 'rb').read()),
...   'text/plain', 'mycertificates.csv')
>>> browser.getControl(name='SUBMIT').click()

We create and upload also a CSV file containing certificate courses:

>>> open('certcourses.csv', 'wb').write(
... """code,faculty_code,department_code,certificate_code,level,mandatory
... LI1,FA,LIT,LBA,100,True
... LI2,FA,LIT,LBA,200,True
... """)

>>> browser.open('http://localhost/myuniversity/datacenter/upload')
>>> browser.getControl(name='uploadfile:file').add_file(
...   cStringIO.StringIO(open('certcourses.csv', 'rb').read()),
...   'text/plain', 'mycertcourses.csv')
>>> browser.getControl(name='SUBMIT').click()

Importing a CSV file¶

The import of CSV files is described in batchprocessing.txt.

Clean up:

>>> import os
>>> import shutil
>>> shutil.rmtree(uploadpath)
