[Myexperiment-discuss] adding stuff

[Linde, A.E.]

Not so quick question:

I want the spacebook version of myExperiment to have extra bits added to it 
(though I'm now trying to keep this to a bare minimum). The end goal is to 
allow astronomy users to click an icon next to, say, a workflow and the 
metadata associated with that workflow is sent to a SKUA application which 
loads as a separate tab, window or AIR app. The SKUA app then fires up and 
allows the user to store their metadata in a SKUA SAC (semantic assertion 
collection).

So, what I'd like to add to myExperiment is:

1. a variable in the config file, sacEndpoint, whose value is the endpoint of 
the SAC associated with this implementation of spacebook, which is then added 
as a global Javascript variable to every web page rendered by the Rails code;

2. inclusion of a SKUA javascript file in every web page;

3. an icon and text next to (initially) each workflow in the Workflows tab and 
in the individual workflow page such that clicking the icon/text will call a 
function in the Javascript file passing it the workflow metadata and SAC 
endpoint.

I can probably figure out 2 & 3 (but would like to know the *best* way of doing 
it so as to make the minimum hit on my version of the myexp code) but 
definitely need some help with 1 in how to reference and include the value of a 
config variable.

Cheers,
Tony.
