web GUI should start processor and inserter after creating a collector

[libbyh]

I don't think any of the changes could have broken this, so I think maybe I just set it up wrong?

http://stack.casmlab.org/58d5c38421e385726a0fd8cf/update_collector it works fine..

There's no data in there, but tweets have shown up on Twitter since the collector started.

could you please check the setup because I checked the backend and the database has nothing stored in it..

[pratik27shah]

There was a json file which was created in the backend but the file had to be imported in mongodb..I tried doing it manually,but the structure of the config file and the json file had several blank values..and hence even after making an import the thing will not work,,i request you to re-verfiy the setup for this collector.once again

Sure, I will check it. I made the Issue as a note. You don't really need to worry about these unless they are assigned to you or you don't have other stuff to do. For this one, because I used the web front-end, that the collector isn't collecting suggests that there's (a) something missing from the "create collector" form process or (b) something missing from the instructions that I failed to follow. I'll dig into when I have more time.

Low priority because we can make collectors through the command line.

I think the problem is that the web interface starts a collector but not a processor or inserter. For both the queer-fans and mil2 collectors, which I started through the web, I just started processors and inserters through the command line, and now there's data in tweets for both. I will check back in a bit to see if those tweets are visible through the web GUI as well.

It's ok if we have three sets of buttons:

1. start collector
2. start processor
3. start inserter

Those buttons should show only available commands though - i.e., if a collector is running, don't show a "start" button or at least don't make it clickable.
