| replaceafill | dadeng, sometimes i hit CTRL + C and rerun make when that happens | 00:03 |
|---|---|---|
| aelkner | replaceafill, yeah, that's a good point, sometimes the connection gets unstuck that way | 00:19 |
| *** replaceafill has quit IRC | 00:35 | |
| dadeng | ok, i got the server and running | 00:41 |
| dadeng | so what next? | 00:42 |
| aelkner | dadeng, ok, excellent | 00:44 |
| aelkner | so you have the old schooltool instance that you were using, right? | 00:44 |
| aelkner | i assume you want to keep the data you set up there | 00:45 |
| dadeng | yes, i have it on the same machine with the data | 00:45 |
| dadeng | yes | 00:45 |
| aelkner | cool | 00:45 |
| aelkner | so the command would be: | 00:45 |
| aelkner | hit ctrl-c first on the server that you just started | 00:47 |
| dadeng | ok | 00:47 |
| aelkner | also, stop the current server using /etc/init.d/schooltool-cando stop | 00:47 |
| aelkner | i think that's what you are running, right, cando? | 00:47 |
| aelkner | once you stop that server and we get the Data.fs copied out of there, you won't need to run it anymore | 00:49 |
| dadeng | yes, it is stopped | 00:49 |
| dadeng | ok | 00:49 |
| aelkner | ok, the command would be: | 00:49 |
| aelkner | cp /path/to/current/Data-fs /path/to/sandbox/schooltool.niepa/instance/var/Data.fs | 00:50 |
| dadeng | i think this will require sudo? | 00:50 |
| aelkner | maybe | 00:50 |
| aelkner | though the target of the copy is in your user directory, where your sandbox is | 00:50 |
| aelkner | and the source Data.fs file may be readable outside of root | 00:51 |
| aelkner | i'd try first without sude | 00:51 |
| aelkner | to save you the trouble changing the permissions on the target file | 00:51 |
| aelkner | i believe copying a file using sudo causes the file to be root user | 00:52 |
| aelkner | the key is having the source process stopped, which you did, so that there is no file lock | 00:54 |
| dadeng | it is having permission issues | 01:04 |
| dadeng | sorry do i need to put the last Data.fs for the destination directory? | 01:06 |
| aelkner | yes, the target name must be Data.fs | 01:10 |
| dadeng | ok, done | 01:10 |
| aelkner | now you can make run again | 01:10 |
| aelkner | i.e., type 'make run' | 01:10 |
| aelkner | and you'll note the port number that the server says it is serving on | 01:11 |
| *** replaceafill has joined #schooltool | 01:11 | |
| dadeng | no, if i'm copying inside var? is it not to replace the existing Data.fs inside var directory? | 01:11 |
| aelkner | it's a different number than the one used by the installed package | 01:11 |
| aelkner | the cp command above shows the target filename Data.fs, yes that will over-write the empty one that's there | 01:12 |
| dadeng | cd /home/david/sandbox/schooltool.niepa/instance/var | 01:12 |
| dadeng | sorry | 01:12 |
| aelkner | no problem | 01:13 |
| aelkner | let me know what port number you see when you get the server started | 01:15 |
| dadeng | ok, i have it running now with the data | 01:25 |
| dadeng | 7080 | 01:25 |
| aelkner | port number? | 01:25 |
| aelkner | good | 01:25 |
| aelkner | any url you type or any bookmark you have will need that number instead of the other one | 01:26 |
| aelkner | an obvious point perhaps, but i thought i'd mention it | 01:26 |
| dadeng | yes, i know | 01:27 |
| aelkner | access the server from your browser and hit the Manage tab | 01:27 |
| dadeng | and it has the data | 01:27 |
| dadeng | ok | 01:27 |
| aelkner | note the links are limited | 01:27 |
| dadeng | yes | 01:27 |
| aelkner | if you miss anything there, we can put it back | 01:27 |
| dadeng | fewer than mainstream | 01:27 |
| aelkner | but for now, it helps us focus on your particular customizations | 01:28 |
| aelkner | for instance, you;ll notice that adding teachers, students and administrators is easier | 01:28 |
| aelkner | because the views for adding them know what they need to know to put the new person in the right group | 01:28 |
| dadeng | ok, but the student data was not imported, atleast i did not find any name in list view | 01:29 |
| aelkner | ah, the students you added before, you put them in special groups, right | 01:29 |
| aelkner | not the student group? | 01:30 |
| dadeng | yes | 01:30 |
| aelkner | ah, that's something i'll need to address with a file fix | 01:30 |
| dadeng | just in the persons if i remember | 01:30 |
| dadeng | ok | 01:30 |
| aelkner | remember you sent me your Data.fs file that time you had the problem with enrolling students by group? | 01:31 |
| dadeng | yes, | 01:32 |
| aelkner | could you do that again real quick right now | 01:32 |
| aelkner | remembering to stop the server first? | 01:32 |
| dadeng | but we have entered so much data thereafter | 01:32 |
| dadeng | uhmmm, how do i get that done now? | 01:33 |
| aelkner | you don't remember sending me the file? i think you used bzip2? | 01:33 |
| aelkner | i'll check my email history for it | 01:34 |
| dadeng | yes, i remember but what i'm saying is that we have an updated one | 01:34 |
| dadeng | i have that file | 01:34 |
| dadeng | but the data in Data.fs now is much more than that | 01:34 |
| aelkner | are you saying it's too big to send via email? | 01:35 |
| dadeng | we've added the activities and students various scores | 01:35 |
| aelkner | yeah, that's fine | 01:35 |
| dadeng | ok, u want me to resend it to u? | 01:35 |
| aelkner | yes, please, so i can look at it, and write a file fix | 01:35 |
| dadeng | ok, i'll get now and send to u | 01:36 |
| dadeng | i'll get it from schooltool-cando | 01:36 |
| aelkner | why not from the new server? | 01:36 |
| aelkner | the data you speak of is still in the new file, just not accessible with the new code | 01:37 |
| aelkner | also, you can go to any section you have set up and see that it has students in it | 01:37 |
| aelkner | the only thing that is broken is the fact that the students you've added do not belong to the students group | 01:38 |
| aelkner | this makes them unavailable for editing | 01:38 |
| aelkner | i will fix that in the file fix and return you the fixed file which should solve that issue for you | 01:39 |
| *** replaceafill has quit IRC | 01:53 | |
| dadeng | Aelkner i jsut sent it | 02:03 |
| dadeng | i sent it to your gmail | 02:03 |
| aelkner | thanks, keep close | 02:08 |
| aelkner | dadeng, ok, but you sent me the old one which i don't understand | 02:10 |
| aelkner | the new one is more relevant | 02:10 |
| dadeng | no it is the new one | 02:10 |
| dadeng | i copied it over from the instance of schooltool-cando | 02:11 |
| aelkner | yeah, which is the old one | 02:11 |
| dadeng | it should have scores for student courses | 02:11 |
| aelkner | the new one lives in your instance/var directory | 02:12 |
| aelkner | and has the filename, Data.fs | 02:12 |
| aelkner | not schooltool-cando ....l | 02:12 |
| dadeng | oh, u mean the one i copied over to this new installation? | 02:12 |
| dadeng | ok, hold on | 02:12 |
| aelkner | could you please send me the Data.fs file from your instance/var directory? | 02:12 |
| dadeng | ok | 02:12 |
| aelkner | dadeng, btw, actually, i am able to use the old file you sent me to see the person objects and their groups | 02:27 |
| dadeng | ok, i'm attaching the new one all the same | 02:28 |
| aelkner | i just figure it better for the evolution script to run on your machine, not mine | 02:28 |
| aelkner | it doesn't actually matter when i think of it | 02:29 |
| dadeng | ok, so far we'll be able to use all the record inside the old one in new | 02:29 |
| dadeng | i'm ok | 02:29 |
| aelkner | so i'm looking at the persons you set up and there are interesting configurations of groups | 02:29 |
| *** aelkner has quit IRC | 02:30 | |
| dadeng | new one sent | 02:30 |
| dadeng | i'll continue with u tomorrow | 02:30 |
| dadeng | it's almost 2am here | 02:31 |
| *** aelkner has joined #schooltool | 02:31 | |
| aelkner | oops, i closed the chat app :) | 02:32 |
| aelkner | dadeng, i see some persons have many groups, some noe | 02:32 |
| aelkner | none | 02:32 |
| aelkner | are the ones with no groups teachers and the one with many, students? | 02:32 |
| dadeng | yes, because we set them up using the section etc | 02:33 |
| dadeng | they were not directly entered into the person group | 02:33 |
| dadeng | so we've to sort that out | 02:34 |
| dadeng | and of course students would be enrolled in courses meaning they will belong different groups | 02:34 |
| aelkner | well, all we have to do is add any person that has no group to the teachers group | 02:35 |
| aelkner | and all others to the students group | 02:35 |
| aelkner | and done, right? | 02:35 |
| dadeng | yeah, the students group is very large | 02:35 |
| aelkner | it always is the largest in a school | 02:35 |
| dadeng | and it is easier to deal with other smaller groups | 02:35 |
| dadeng | so i'll continue with u later | 02:36 |
| aelkner | well, for now on, when you add a student using the student form, it will automatically be added | 02:36 |
| aelkner | to the students group | 02:36 |
| aelkner | so it's getting late for you, right? | 02:36 |
| dadeng | it is almost 2am here | 02:36 |
| dadeng | ok | 02:36 |
| dadeng | yes | 02:37 |
| dadeng | although if u want me around i can stay | 02:37 |
| aelkner | ok, i'll make the fix i suggested and email you back the Data.fs | 02:37 |
| dadeng | today is weekend | 02:37 |
| dadeng | so i can wake up late | 02:37 |
| aelkner | i'm free all weekend, but i don't need to keep you up late tonight | 02:37 |
| dadeng | ok, good | 02:37 |
| *** dadeng has quit IRC | 02:38 | |
| aelkner | oh, that would help, but i'd only ask you for a little more time | 02:38 |
| aelkner | or better yet, cya | 02:38 |
| th1a | Thanks, aelkner. | 03:07 |

| dadeng | aelkner: I got the data.fs and it is done | 09:42 |
| dadeng | these are my observations | 09:42 |
| dadeng | the average column of activity view is not displaying well | 09:43 |
| dadeng | can regroup the classes into grades under Junior Secondary and Senior Secondary | 09:43 |
| dadeng | and make use of the view spaces better so that all of them can be display in landscape rather than having to scroll to next page? | 09:45 |

| aelkner | dadeng, ayt? | 10:28 |
| aelkner | sorry i missed you, wasn't expecting you to pop up so soon | 10:29 |
| dadeng | oh, got up since | 11:16 |
| dadeng | i was in d kitchen | 11:17 |
| aelkner | dadeng, before we talk about the activity views | 11:51 |
| aelkner | i wanted to point out to you the demographic fields attached to teachers, students and locations | 11:52 |
| aelkner | that correspond to the parts of the census form that tabulates such data | 11:53 |
| aelkner | i wanted to get your reaction to those forms and explain that I'm working on a pdf report | 11:54 |
| aelkner | that you could present as an automatically generated census form | 11:55 |
| aelkner | even if i don't have the time to make it look precisely like the one you sent us | 11:56 |
| aelkner | we thought it could help you if you had at least some kind of census report for the demo | 11:57 |
| aelkner | make sense? | 11:57 |
| aelkner | anyway, i need to sleep now, it's 5am for me | 12:14 |
| aelkner | i hope to find you here in around 6-8 hours, and i'll be available until you need to go to sleep | 12:16 |
| aelkner | see you then | 12:16 |
