[GUI] 'Add project' wizard: distinguish 'web' and 'attach' urls

[RichardHaselgrove]

The latest online update to all_projects_list.xml contains distinct urls:

        <url>http://www.cpdn.org/cpdnboinc/</url>
        <web_url>http://climateprediction.net/</web_url>

(and likewise for Einstein@Home). This is a good move - it resolves problems I encountered with 7.10 - but it needs placing in the repository for @CharlieFenton and others to use. And the attach wizard needs updating to display it: this is from a fresh checkout/build from master today, with the new file in place.

Attaching a reconciliation of the various versions of all_projects_list as at 27 June 2018 (Excel speadsheet)

I can fix this.
Just to clarify:
= Project URL
<web_url> = Web site
Is it correct?

[RichardHaselgrove]

That would be my interpretation too, but let's not be hasty - we can ask at the conference call tomorrow for full planning documentation.

@drshawnkwang has just commented on the scoping of master_url in #2580, and the issues may be related: let's fix them all at once.

For what it's worth, Andy Bowery explained to me that

The reason is that the climateprediction.net is just a Wordpress site and nothing else. The actual BOINC project is on the www.cpdn.org server.

which (by implication, but unconfirmed) suggests that it can't run php scripts and can't respond to get_project_config.

[drshawnkwang]

Just my unenlightened opinion: I don't think #2580 is related, but I could be wrong.

CPDN's PHP site could redirect to the Wordpress site for non-BOINC user agents. Then they'd just need one URL

But the non-attach BOINC functions (account management, stats, help desk) still need to be on the designated BOINC server.

[RichardHaselgrove]

PIcking up a comment from #2438, and extending the (overdue?) review of the 'Attach project' wizard.

1. intel_gpu not tested for
2. other GPU tests search for "[cuda", "[ati" (i.e. keyword at start of plan class string). SETI is not detected as ATI/AMD capable, because its plan classes start "[opencl". Test needs generalising.
3. it would be user-friendly to add tooltips to the icons: it requires one line of code per icon, such as

m_pProjectDetailsSupportedPlatformWindowsCtrl->SetToolTip(_("Windows"));

[adamradocz]

@RichardHaselgrove I'd suggest to increase the icons size at least to 36 or 48 pixel wide. Is it possible. Currently this size is barely see-able and not so informative.

[RichardHaselgrove]

Yes, they are small, but we're tight on space.

With the tool-tip, it works better, but the dual splodges of green at the right are bad. Why is Android not grouped with the other operating systems? Ideally, we should be able to tell "runs ATI, NV, iGPU under Windows, but not under Linux" (SETI is a bad example because it runs everything under everything: Einstein looks even worse because although the devices are supported, they are not detected in the parsing phase from all_projects_list.xml)

We need a designer to write an overview specification.

[RichardHaselgrove]

We have another conference call tomorrow: perhaps we can ask again for some documentation. A search for "web_url" in this repository finds only my opening remark for this issue, so the current all_projects_list hasn't yet been committed.

Attaching an xsd schema (renamed as txt to allow uploading), generated from the live file as a basis for documentation.

[RichardHaselgrove]

I think I'm getting there...

[RichardHaselgrove]

Implementation completed in #2643. Closing.
