Visits & Protocols Plugin for XNAT 1.7

This is a fork of the Visits & Protocols module from XNAT 1.6.5 implemented as an XNAT 1.7 plugin.

The latest built versions of this plugin can be downloaded here: http://marketplace.xnat.org/plugin/visits-protocols-plugin-alpha-xnat-1-7/

Here is some documentation in the form of a presentation I've given at the 2016 XNAT Workshop:

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Vkc3hSc76spnuYlXJcaNimP1r-_0MKeWIIrsKpbnGc8/edit?usp=sharing

Formal Wiki documentation on the plugin is in the works following an official release of core XNAT 1.7

Building

To build the plugin, run the following command from within the plugin folder:

./gradlew jar

On Windows, you may need to run:

gradlew jar

If you haven't previously run this build, it may take a while for all of the dependencies to download.

You can verify your completed build by looking in the folder build/libs. It should contain a file named something like protocols-plugin-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar. This is the plugin jar that you can install in your XNAT's plugins folder.

Installing

Installing the plugin is as simple as stopping the Tomcat server running your XNAT 1.7 application, copying the plugin jar above into your plugins folder, and restarting Tomcat. To verify that the plugin installed correctly:

Log into your XNAT as an administrator once it's completed the start-up process.

Click the menu command Administer->Protocols.
