Where I'm at with My Collection integration

[Svetoslav Nedkov]

Hi Colin,

To answer the question - I haven't tested My Collection before my last 
commit, which is mainly because I redirected the URLs to CouchDB, but 
then before commit I introduced some small changes that didn't look too 
harmful but proved to be at least time consuming to fix. I took the 
opportunity to correct them and submitted a patch to the same issue you 
attached your patch to:

http://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/ENGAGE-345

I managed to get the artifact view to work and the artifact collect view 
to some extent. The main problem with the latter is that after rendering 
the attempt to attach a handler to a DOM element found with jQuery.find 
fails. However I'm short of ideas how to fix this as the collection 
markup belongs logically inside the render scope. I've seen something 
about "ignored" selectors being passed to the createRenderer function, 
but here we are calling selfRender directly.

Two more notes:

- the artifact view should be accessed with an UUID parameter so that 
its service can perform a check for the current status of the artifact 
in the user collection. Maybe there is a better solution though.

- at the moment there are no CouchDB views in the users database, so I 
was unable to test the My Collection page and see if I've tackled all 
the problems. Maybe we should upload the original ones to see that the 
view works and then change them as we spoke.


Regards,

Svetoslav

It looks like there are a lot of little details scattered throughout the code that is causing it to not actually function properly, even in your branch. Have you been able to test it fully in the last week or so with any success?
