Infusion Builder request for interim review

[Laurel Williams]

Following up on discussions with Colin yesterday, I've made some
revisions to the Infusion Builder which should to be reviewed.

You can find the issues that I've addressed using the following JIRA
filter:
http://issues.fluidproject.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requestId=10265

Essentially, I've rearranged the directory structure in svn to better
reflect the deployment of the tool. I've corrected some configuration
issues to simplify deployment. I think more can be done, but this is a
start and I wanted to move in relatively small steps to correct the
issues that Colin found. Updated installation instructions can be found
here:  
http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/Deploying+the+Infusion+Builder.
Hopefully we can test drive this first attempt early next week and try
to find problem steps.

A clean install can be found here:
http://142.150.154.58/infusion-builder/html/CustomBuild.html
I've taken the Infusion Builder out of the CMSMS entirely, so it doesn't
look as nice any more, but it seems to be working fine.

Hi Laurel,

I think your directory structure changes generally look good. A few  
comments about naming:

  * I'm not sure what's specifically "secure" about the code you've  
got in the infusion-builder-secure directory. Does this directory just  
contain resources that are "private" to the web server? Or is there a  
more descriptive name we can use? Along with this, I assume the stuff  
within plain old "infusion-builder" is intended to be located in the  
webserver's document directory?

* Your mysqlscript.sql script file could probably be named something  
more descriptive. "create-and-clear-builder-cache.sql" or something  
along those lines?

And one question about next steps:

  * You mention that you've taken the Builder out of CMS Made Simple  
(good move), and that it doesn't look as nice as a result. What's your  
plan for making it look good again?

Hi Colin,

Thanks so much for your Sunday review! Thoughts inline below:

I guess when I named the infusion-builder-secure directory I was

thinking "this directory needs to be put somewhere secure". It contains
resources which should not be placed within the webserver document root
or anywhere where a browser can access them directly. I certainly
welcome a better name, but that was the one that came to my mind.

The infusion-builder directory is the directory to be located in the
webservers document root, so having a clear simple name that related to
the tool seemed appropriate.

Maybe others can comment on ideas for renaming if necessary.

http://issues.fluidproject.org/browse/FLUID-3346 - created this just now and will address this immediately.

I'm hoping for some designer time on this one, though I can certainly
make some first stabs at it. Along with a makeover, we need to figure
out how the builder fits into the website (links to and from the website
only, or put in the whole website header, footer, background, etc). I
made a JIRA for this last week.
