jelknerbvoung: can you see my private chat?16:01
bvuongyep16:24
bvuonganyone know how to use the find command. I'm trying to find the pkg_resources module on my computer16:38
eldarfind . | grep pkg_resources16:39
mgedminuhh16:39
mgedminfind /usr/lib -name 'pkg_resources*'16:40
mgedminbut then it could be in /usr/local16:40
mgedminfind / -name 'pkg_resources*'16:40
mgedminbut it will be slow16:40
mgedminlocate pkg_resources is faster, if you have slocate installed16:40
bvuongok, thanks, I just found it, but its in my python2.5 site-packages folder. Do I just move it to the python2.4 site-packages folder?16:42
eldarbvuong, no. Are you having problems with your python-setuptools?16:44
bvuongyeah, kinda, I installed python2.4, but when I installed the setuptools, I think the computer put it in the python2.5 folder, instead of python2.416:45
eldarsudo apt-get remove python-setuptools; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install python-all-dev python-setuptools16:46
eldarrun those commands, ; means a new line16:46
bvuongoh, I don't have ubuntu on my computer, I use fedora16:46
eldar-_-16:46
bvuongsorry :p16:46
eldari don't know exact yum commands, or package names, so i'm just going to blindly throw commands16:46
eldarsudo yum remove python-setuptools16:47
bvuongit works16:47
eldarsudo yum clean (or whatever else removes the .rpms it downloaded)16:47
Lumiere... eww fedora ... <_<16:47
bvuongoh well, blame my dad :p16:48
eldarbvuong, did you clean?16:49
jelknerbvuong: can you give me a phone number i can use to call you?16:49
bvuongdidn't work, it said it required an option, I guess it meant a parameter16:49
bvuongjelkner: sure, should I give you my cell or home number?16:50
jelknerwhich ever you would like me to use16:50
bvuongwell, I'll give you my home number, even though I'm not at home. (703) 532-901616:50
jelknerthen how can i use it?16:51
jelkneri want to call you now16:51
bvuongah16:51
bvuongok, my cell is (703) 336-387016:51

bnguyenis trunk broken?19:52
bnguyenwhen i try to run i get the error:19:52
bnguyenAttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'IBeforeObjectAssignedEvent'19:52
mgedminaccording to http://source.schooltool.org/buildbot/, trunk is not broken19:53
bnguyenhmm19:53
bnguyendoes anyone know why i would be getting that error?19:53
mgedmincould you pastebin the full traceback?19:53
bnguyen sure19:54
wjohnstoLumiere: do you know what the sobby protocol is?19:55
wjohnstoe.g. TCP, UDP..19:55
eldarTCP19:56
wjohnstothanks eldar19:56
lisppaste5bnguyen pasted "trunk error" at http://paste.lisp.org/display/4516619:56
ignasbnguyen: do you have Zope3 installed on your ubuntu machine through apt-get?19:58
bnguyeni believe i do19:58
bnguyenlet me check19:58
bnguyenoh no i don't19:59
bnguyenthanks19:59
ignasdon't19:59
ignasit would have caused the error19:59
ignasbut if you haven't got it - then it's strange ...20:00
bnguyenwell since maddog went down I have to re-do everything on a new computer because I run Windows20:01
eldarbnguyen, maybe it's time to follow that advice i gave you about installing ubuntu20:02
bnguyeni was afraid you would say that20:02
*** trekkiemage has joined #schooltool20:05
bnguyeni have zope now but i'm still getting the same error20:05
wjohnstoshe doesn't need ubuntu as long as she can ssh into my computer20:06
wjohnstoI dual boot20:06
eldarhow is she going to work on her own then?20:08
wjohnstoI leave my computer on all the time20:08
eldarhmm, not the best idea because of 2 things20:09
eldar1. she is dependent on her neighbor for internet20:09
wjohnstobut bnguyen's problem is that she does not have the SchoolTool directory20:09
eldar2. she will be dependent on you for a work machine20:09
eldarthat is 2 dependencies, if #1 goes down, she loses #2 as well20:09
wjohnstowell hey, I'm not telling her she shouldn't get ubuntu20:09
wjohnstoit is easier though, since we're partners, to have our stuff in the exact same place20:10
wjohnstoeldar: when brittney went into her cando directory and ran the Makefile, shouldn't it have added the schooltool directory?20:11
eldarno, schooltool is an egg now20:12
eldarschooltool  can be found in the eggs directory now20:12

aelknerpcardune: eldar and i were looking at the newskin and there's something you should know about what srichter had us do20:44
aelknersrichter wanted us to use z3c.form for our skin and NOT use page macros20:46
aelknerfor better of for worse that's what he sugstd20:46
aelknersuggested20:46
aelknerso since all of our views use page macros, his suggestion was to derive new view classes from the existing ones20:47
*** AVN` has joined #schooltool20:48
fsufitcheldar, could u take a look at the new logo look?20:48
fsufitchi'll PM u the url20:48
eldari don't really like the idea of redoing every view20:48
aelkneri agre with eldar20:49
*** jhancock has joined #schooltool20:50
fsufitchjust the question of a newbie, but wouldnt it take a while to redo all of the page views? (time we don't have?)20:50
eldarfsufitch, yeah, it would be a big pain in the ass20:50
fsufitchnicely put20:50
pcarduneaelkner: yeah, that might work out in the long run, but not in the short run20:55
aelknerright20:56
pcarduneI'm working on overriding schooltool's macros20:56
pcardunewith new ones that look like the cando skin20:56
aelknerpcardune: so you're working on getting the newskin to inherit from SchooltolSkin and then the macors will be usable?20:56
pcarduneyeah20:56
aelknerok20:56
eldarpcardune, are you doing it in your old version of the newskin or in the newskin branch?20:58
pcardunethe newskin branch20:58
eldarhow does it look to you?20:59
pcardunealright, the login screen is kind of intense though21:03
pcarduneI've always been against those borders that make things look raised, unless it is done very carefully and in a subtle way21:03
pcarduneeldar: ok, I got it to work sort of21:04
pcarduneit will need more work, but it's a start21:04
eldaralrighty, what did you do?21:04

pcarduneeldar: i'll commit it in a second21:06
pcarduneeldar: ok, you can check it out21:08
*** AVN` has quit IRC21:09
eldarok, there are some bumps on the road21:12
eldarlike some batching error21:12
pcarduneyeah21:12
eldarbut competencies work XD21:13
pcarduneeldar: basically you need to modify view_macros.pt that I just added to include all the slots that are in schooltool's view_macros.pt21:13
eldaraha21:13
eldarit shouldn't be too hard, right?21:13
pcarduneno21:14
eldarno, as in hard or not hard?21:14
pcardunejust do a diff between view_macros.pt and template.pt in the newskin branch and you will see how I modified template.pt21:14

fsufitchand the existing css is bad?21:50
eldarwell, it uses our newcando skin's css21:51
eldarand we do some table css that kills it21:51
fsufitchok21:53
fsufitchso i need to get the old table css and put it in?21:53
fsufitchor rewrite some css so that it looks good in the newskin?21:53
eldari would rewrite it, as in in the journal templates put it on top in there21:53
eldarso it'll look good in both skins21:54
eldarbut yeah, make the journal view independent of global css21:54
eldaras in use its own css declarations21:54
eldaryou can use the extra-head to declare the css21:54
