IPT 2.0.4 Test Mode to Production mode
by Michel Kapel 01 Mar '13

Hello. I am looking at the version 2.0.4 of IPT and preparing for an upgrade from a 2.0.3 version. Everything looks OK to me. I have managed to customize the look and feel a little so the look fits the environment. Before I deploy there is still something I am unsure of. Switching from test mode to production mode ... With the previous version switching the "debug" value in the ipt.properties file was enough (I had problems doing so through the interface but doing it "by hand" worked fine). 2.0.4 seems to require something else linked with registration ??? in inc/menu.ftl [#if !cfg.devMode() && cfg.getRegistryType()=='PRODUCTION'] where does cfg.getRegistryType() come from ?? some property in the ipt.properties or rather the new registration.xml file ? I take it there must be some way to change this through the web interface but I would welcome the description of changes in the files themselves. Regards to all of you Michel K.

Hello Kyle, Thanks a lot for the IPT Workbook notification! It could perhaps be useful for others to add a link, where to find the workbook and sample datasets: http://community.gbif.org/pg/file/read/13559/ipt-worskshop-2011-workbook or https://code.google.com/p/gbif-providertoolkit/ Best regards, Francis

IPT Workbook - try it today!

Hi IPT list, I am writing to inform everybody on the list about the existence of an IPT Workbook. Originally written by Burke and I as a companion for an IPT Experts Workshop in 2011, the workbook puts together a comprehensive set of practice problems for installing, configuring, and using the IPT to publish biodiversity datasets. The problems vary in their level of difficulty, but no matter how hard the problem is, helpful hints are provided to help guide the reader through them. Never before has there been a more fun way to learn how to master the IPT! In my opinion, if you can solve the entire workbook, you can consider yourself an IPT expert. To get started, download the workbook and the required sample datasets folder. With kind regards, Kyle PS: Feedback to help improve the workbook is always welcome.
