| th1a | hi yvl, replaceafill, aelkner, menesis. | 16:32 |
|---|---|---|
| replaceafill | good morning/afternoon | 16:32 |
| yvl | good morning | 16:32 |
| menesis | hi | 16:33 |
| aelkner | morning | 16:33 |
| th1a | I'm a little woozy after trying to make it to the end of what ended up being a 19 inning Pittsburgh Pirates loss last night/morning. | 16:34 |
| th1a | yvl: Why don't you start us off? | 16:34 |
| yvl | sure | 16:34 |
| yvl | actually, not much to say | 16:35 |
| yvl | I got distracted by various things today | 16:35 |
| yvl | so roughly an hour of ST work | 16:35 |
| yvl | sorry, aelkner, but no menu today... | 16:35 |
| aelkner | for the gradebook, you mean? | 16:36 |
| yvl | yes | 16:36 |
| aelkner | ah, ok | 16:36 |
| aelkner | i have other things to do | 16:37 |
| th1a | OK, let's talk about manage for a minute. | 16:38 |
| yvl | sure | 16:38 |
| th1a | I didn't mean put "Manage school years" below the table, but to put "School Years" above the table like a title. | 16:38 |
| th1a | (and for each one) | 16:39 |
| th1a | And if that's not bold enough, we can add the pencil. | 16:39 |
| yvl | ok | 16:39 |
| th1a | Because there is no strong distinction between view/edit in containers. | 16:39 |
| th1a | That is, there is no "edit" view for containers. | 16:39 |
| yvl | right | 16:40 |
| th1a | Years and terms will need to be separate tables if they aren't now. | 16:41 |
| yvl | actually, I put only one there now | 16:41 |
| yvl | the active one | 16:41 |
| yvl | I mean - there's not much use of previous years on a daily basis... | 16:41 |
| th1a | Ah. Well, We could show all years and then terms in the active years. | 16:41 |
| yvl | well, ok | 16:42 |
| th1a | Or just the active year. | 16:42 |
| th1a | They just need to be separate tables. | 16:42 |
| yvl | ok | 16:42 |
| th1a | Also, we should probably order these by importance to the user, not... descending scale. | 16:43 |
| th1a | And... | 16:43 |
| yvl | ??? | 16:43 |
| yvl | terms? | 16:43 |
| * th1a is slowly remembering what needs to go here. | 16:43 | |
| th1a | I mean, users not in the middle. | 16:43 |
| yvl | ah, right | 16:43 |
| th1a | (ordering the whole view not time) | 16:43 |
| th1a | ALSO... | 16:43 |
| th1a | we need to add all the things that we changed when you were away, yvl. | 16:44 |
| th1a | So the stuff you formerly navigated through via year is now accessed here. | 16:44 |
| yvl | what do you have in mind? | 16:44 |
| th1a | Groups, courses, sections. | 16:44 |
| yvl | hmm, I missed something | 16:45 |
| yvl | group container is in trunk? | 16:45 |
| th1a | lol | 16:45 |
| yvl | sections are in trunk? | 16:45 |
| replaceafill | yep | 16:45 |
| yvl | whoops | 16:45 |
| replaceafill | as /courses, /groups and /sections | 16:45 |
| yvl | oh, right | 16:45 |
| replaceafill | well, i added /sections today :D | 16:45 |
| yvl | right | 16:45 |
| replaceafill | btw one comment | 16:45 |
| replaceafill | these three work if you have school years in place | 16:45 |
| replaceafill | and terms | 16:46 |
| yvl | (I kind of forgot those because I dont use them - because navigation is broken) | 16:46 |
| yvl | (for people who use apache rewrite rulse) | 16:46 |
| yvl | * rules | 16:46 |
| replaceafill | ah because of the ?schoolyear_id... | 16:47 |
| yvl | no | 16:47 |
| yvl | because somebody didn't put absolute urls | 16:47 |
| yvl | and used '/groups' link directly | 16:47 |
| yvl | or maybe I have a broken rule | 16:47 |
| yvl | th1a, how do you think it would be best to present courses and sections there? | 16:48 |
| replaceafill | and /schoolyears and /terms work for you? | 16:48 |
| yvl | umm | 16:49 |
| yvl | yes, they all work, but there are links that don't | 16:49 |
| yvl | but nevermind that now | 16:50 |
| th1a | I think we left a few loose ends. | 16:50 |
| th1a | Hmmm yes, this is complexifying the page quite a bit. | 16:50 |
| th1a | I guess in all cases there isn't much to say other than how many of each thing there are in the year. | 16:51 |
| th1a | I think we should probably shift this view to use years in tertiary navigation as well. | 16:53 |
| th1a | To let you access every year fairly easily. | 16:53 |
| aelkner | yes, so that the year is fixed, but easily changable | 16:53 |
| replaceafill | i have a question about past years | 16:53 |
| replaceafill | are we going to let the user change past year data? | 16:53 |
| th1a | I mean, you can still get where you need to go, but it is a little confusing. | 16:53 |
| th1a | That issue is not on the table right now. | 16:54 |
| th1a | Someday, no. | 16:54 |
| replaceafill | ah, ok | 16:54 |
| th1a | But it is fairly complicated. | 16:54 |
| th1a | It makes activation a permanent one-way process. | 16:54 |
| th1a | Or nearly so. | 16:55 |
| replaceafill | in /manage the Term table should link to terms instead of the school year, right? | 16:55 |
| th1a | Yes. | 16:56 |
| yvl | whoopsy | 16:56 |
| th1a | The terms year corresponding to the manage year being viewed. | 16:56 |
| replaceafill | th1a correct me if i'm wrong, but you said we were going to use only h1-h3, right? | 16:56 |
| th1a | That's what's in the UWG. | 16:56 |
| yvl | ok, another my bad | 16:57 |
| yvl | added h4 | 16:57 |
| th1a | Blasphemy! | 16:57 |
| replaceafill | :) | 16:57 |
| replaceafill | i changed the "There are none." messages from p to h3, btw | 16:57 |
| replaceafill | we were using p's somewhere and h3's in some other places | 16:58 |
| th1a | OK. | 16:58 |
| menesis | but it is not a heading. an informative sentence | 16:59 |
| th1a | menesis is right, technically. | 16:59 |
| replaceafill | well, we're even using h3 for links :D | 16:59 |
| yvl | there are no sentences in UWG! | 16:59 |
| th1a | I don't remember the p's looking bad. | 16:59 |
| yvl | blasphemy! | 16:59 |
| th1a | There are no sentences, only paragraphs. | 17:00 |
| th1a | So I guess I agree with menesis. | 17:01 |
| replaceafill | ok, will make the "There are none" messages p's again :) | 17:01 |
| th1a | Thanks. | 17:02 |
| th1a | OK... | 17:02 |
| th1a | So yvl, I guess you have plenty on your plate now. | 17:02 |
| yvl | yes | 17:02 |
| aelkner | yvl, are you going to deal with the gradebook menu issue tomorrow? | 17:03 |
| yvl | I'm a little bit unclear on what to do with courses/sections on manage | 17:03 |
| yvl | yes, aelkner | 17:03 |
| aelkner | cool, thanks | 17:03 |
| yvl | personally I would just put links in School sidebar box | 17:03 |
| th1a | The point is kind of that we could just put the links in the sidebar to start with and leave the main content area blank. | 17:04 |
| th1a | But SOMETHING has to go there. | 17:04 |
| * aelkner is back in 5 minutes... | 17:04 | |
| yvl | but maybe not everything? | 17:04 |
| yvl | and if we're adding the tertiary year navigation, | 17:05 |
| th1a | Well... we have all that space. | 17:05 |
| yvl | we're basically doing not manage, but schoolyears container | 17:05 |
| th1a | NOOOO. | 17:05 |
| th1a | Do not think that thought. | 17:05 |
| yvl | ok | 17:06 |
| th1a | I mean, yes, we kind of are. | 17:06 |
| yvl | I mean - contents will be very close | 17:06 |
| yvl | and I'm somewhat dubious about what... say resource demographics links would mean then | 17:07 |
| yvl | they are not per-year | 17:07 |
| th1a | We just don't want the user to have to maintain that. | 17:07 |
| th1a | That's why they should go in the sidebar. | 17:07 |
| th1a | That is, | 17:07 |
| th1a | we don't want the user to have to maintain the model of a hierarchy of years containing certain stuff. | 17:07 |
| * aelkner is back | 17:08 | |
| yvl | I understand that th1a | 17:08 |
| th1a | OK. | 17:08 |
| yvl | it's just that tertiary year navigation seems... | 17:09 |
| yvl | what's the word.. | 17:09 |
| yvl | deceitful | 17:09 |
| th1a | I can live with that sin. | 17:09 |
| yvl | for the manage page | 17:09 |
| yvl | can I ask you to do those changes with replaceafill | 17:09 |
| yvl | please | 17:09 |
| yvl | I don't get the reason behind your choices | 17:10 |
| th1a | OK. | 17:10 |
| yvl | and this is more of a | 17:10 |
| yvl | put this here | 17:10 |
| yvl | move that there | 17:10 |
| yvl | situation | 17:10 |
| replaceafill | thanks! ;) | 17:10 |
| yvl | if we were on the same timezone, I would gladly do that ;) | 17:10 |
| th1a | You got me started yvl. | 17:10 |
| th1a | I was stuck. | 17:10 |
| yvl | well thanks :) | 17:11 |
| th1a | But yes, replaceafill and I can work on it. | 17:11 |
| yvl | apologies if I did sound rude | 17:11 |
| th1a | So let's move on, no problem. | 17:11 |
| th1a | I'm constantly rude, ask aelkner. | 17:11 |
| yvl | :))) | 17:11 |
| aelkner | :) | 17:11 |
| replaceafill | :D | 17:11 |
| th1a | Lets jump to replaceafill. | 17:11 |
| replaceafill | k | 17:11 |
| replaceafill | i added the /sections view | 17:12 |
| replaceafill | and add/edit forms for sections | 17:12 |
| replaceafill | they're unstable, because | 17:12 |
| replaceafill | they dont work with other years than the active one :( | 17:12 |
| replaceafill | will fix that | 17:12 |
| replaceafill | i also fixed the term validator issue | 17:13 |
| replaceafill | and made some changes to the TableContainerView | 17:13 |
| replaceafill | that allowed me to remove some unnecessary code | 17:13 |
| th1a | The sort widgets don't work yet? | 17:13 |
| replaceafill | th1a in /sections? | 17:14 |
| th1a | Yes. | 17:14 |
| replaceafill | yes http://69.164.203.135:6660/sections | 17:14 |
| replaceafill | it's sorting by term | 17:14 |
| replaceafill | and then by title | 17:14 |
| th1a | Oh, I was clicking on the arrows. | 17:14 |
| replaceafill | ah no, you have to click the header :) | 17:15 |
| replaceafill | i had a question about the edit form | 17:15 |
| replaceafill | http://69.164.203.135:6660/schoolyears/2011/q2/sections/1/edit.html | 17:15 |
| replaceafill | for example | 17:15 |
| th1a | We should probably address that widget at some point. | 17:15 |
| replaceafill | the edit form presents an extra fieldset for linking | 17:16 |
| replaceafill | do we want to keep that? | 17:16 |
| aelkner | guys, should be have terms be sub-heading to separate the sorting from the courses? | 17:16 |
| th1a | Is that made obselete by the "section_linkage" view? | 17:16 |
| aelkner | i mean, as it is the term, course sorting is not visually easy to follow | 17:17 |
| aelkner | what do you think? | 17:17 |
| th1a | Not necessarily. | 17:17 |
| aelkner | that way, the term need not even be a column | 17:18 |
| th1a | You might want to sort them different ways. | 17:18 |
| aelkner | we could offer two different views | 17:18 |
| th1a | Sorting by term would often be not important. | 17:18 |
| aelkner | one by term, the other by course | 17:18 |
| th1a | I think it is fine. | 17:18 |
| aelkner | ok, never mind | 17:18 |
| th1a | You can filter and sort several ways. | 17:18 |
| replaceafill | th1a i'll look if the section_linkage functionality allows us to remove the second fieldset | 17:19 |
| th1a | replaceafill: OK. | 17:19 |
| replaceafill | i still need to work on the other views for section | 17:19 |
| th1a | OK. So maybe we can do the School view tomorrow? | 17:20 |
| replaceafill | ah sure | 17:20 |
| th1a | I'll set aside some time in the morning. | 17:20 |
| replaceafill | and we need to style the term add form | 17:20 |
| replaceafill | (and edit maybe) | 17:20 |
| replaceafill | i'd like your help there | 17:20 |
| th1a | Right. | 17:20 |
| th1a | OK. tomorrow is replaceafill day for me. | 17:20 |
| th1a | Thanks replaceafill. | 17:20 |
| replaceafill | :) | 17:20 |
| replaceafill | thanks | 17:20 |
| th1a | aelkner? | 17:21 |
| aelkner | ok, so i added the add views for worksheet, linked activity and linked column | 17:21 |
| aelkner | sign in as jelkner/jelkner with this url: | 17:21 |
| aelkner | http://69.164.203.135:36660/schoolyears/2010-2011/20102011/sections/1/activities/Worksheet/gradebook | 17:22 |
| aelkner | yvl, you will be creating another portion of the sidebar tomorrow | 17:22 |
| th1a | We're going to have to work on the navigation a bit. | 17:22 |
| aelkner | and put a form there for the term, section change | 17:22 |
| aelkner | yvl, what is it that you are doing tomorrow? | 17:23 |
| aelkner | th1a, note that the add views all return to the gradebook | 17:23 |
| aelkner | so that part of the navigation is in order | 17:23 |
| th1a | We might switch them to modals. | 17:24 |
| aelkner | now, we have other things like preferences | 17:24 |
| aelkner | replaceafill, do you have an instance of the old skin running? | 17:24 |
| replaceafill | yes | 17:24 |
| replaceafill | but no data i think aelkner | 17:24 |
| replaceafill | that ok? | 17:24 |
| aelkner | oh, never mind | 17:24 |
| aelkner | anyway, th1a, i'm guessing you were planning on making it simpler this time around | 17:25 |
| replaceafill | aelkner http://69.164.203.135:9990 | 17:25 |
| aelkner | so that there is no need for something like 'Manage Worksheet' | 17:25 |
| aelkner | the way i did it so far, you can add the worksheet right from the gradebook | 17:25 |
| th1a | Yes, that's good. | 17:26 |
| aelkner | and if we allow the user to edit worksheet titles with a modal | 17:26 |
| aelkner | and even activities | 17:26 |
| aelkner | then we don't need to worry about leaving the gradebook to do anything | 17:26 |
| th1a | Yes. | 17:27 |
| aelkner | what about preferences? | 17:27 |
| aelkner | do we need a new linkset called Customize? | 17:27 |
| th1a | We've been putting Preferences under... | 17:27 |
| aelkner | linksets do take up room, so we need to be careful | 17:27 |
| replaceafill | Settings | 17:27 |
| aelkner | yvl, ayt? | 17:28 |
| yvl | yes | 17:28 |
| aelkner | what are you going to be adding tomorrow? | 17:28 |
| aelkner | a new sidebar that is not a linkset, right? | 17:28 |
| yvl | umm | 17:28 |
| yvl | probably a simple menu | 17:28 |
| aelkner | but on the left, right? | 17:28 |
| th1a | A menu that doesn't break the sidebar. | 17:29 |
| th1a | so: | 17:29 |
| yvl | and then probably put the switching of terms there to see how that looks | 17:29 |
| aelkner | th1a? | 17:29 |
| th1a | 1) when active it needs to float above the sidebar | 17:29 |
| th1a | 2) when something has been selected it can't be too big for the sidebar. | 17:30 |
| th1a | Actually, can we do that with a regular menu? | 17:30 |
| th1a | Did I jump ahead of myself? | 17:30 |
| yvl | umm, regular menu? | 17:30 |
| th1a | I think I confused the issue yesterday. | 17:30 |
| aelkner | so let's unconfuse it | 17:31 |
| aelkner | what do we want, and where? | 17:31 |
| th1a | I think a regular menu will do as long as its width is constrained to fit in the sidebar. | 17:31 |
| th1a | I'm ok with: | 17:31 |
| aelkner | what is a regular menu? | 17:31 |
| th1a | Like there is now. | 17:32 |
| th1a | For term. | 17:32 |
| th1a | Just move that to the sidebar, | 17:32 |
| th1a | make Term a header, | 17:32 |
| th1a | put the menu under it. | 17:32 |
| aelkner | you mean the dropdown, right? | 17:32 |
| th1a | Maybe we should shrink the font a point or two. | 17:32 |
| th1a | Yes. | 17:32 |
| th1a | The main point is getting it to fit. | 17:32 |
| aelkner | we can truncate the term and section titles in the dropdowns to prevent clipping | 17:33 |
| aelkner | or overflow, i mean | 17:33 |
| aelkner | do clip, don't overflow? | 17:33 |
| replaceafill | -1 on truncate | 17:33 |
| replaceafill | but that's just me :) | 17:33 |
| th1a | I guess what I was thinking is that we may need to show the whole section title at least when you're viewing the selections in the menu. | 17:33 |
| aelkner | replaceafill, how do we prevent overflow, then | 17:33 |
| th1a | I don't know if a regular menu will do that. | 17:34 |
| aelkner | please don't call it a menu | 17:34 |
| aelkner | let's call things what they are | 17:34 |
| th1a | It is a dropdown menu. | 17:34 |
| aelkner | we're talking dropdowns | 17:34 |
| aelkner | replaceafill, can a <select> have one width when not clicked | 17:34 |
| th1a | Oh... wait a sec. | 17:34 |
| aelkner | and be expanded as soon as the user clicks | 17:35 |
| aelkner | maybe that way, the overflow would only be temporary | 17:35 |
| aelkner | and we wouldn't care if a long section title spilled into the content area | 17:35 |
| th1a | That's essentially what we need. | 17:35 |
| replaceafill | aelkner we could use js for that | 17:35 |
| aelkner | because it was only when the user chose to click on it | 17:35 |
| th1a | Temporary overflow. | 17:35 |
| aelkner | anyway, is this what yvl is doing tomorrow? | 17:36 |
| replaceafill | and he's going to be redirected when he select an option anyway | 17:36 |
| yvl | ok, frankly aelkner, I do not know now | 17:36 |
| th1a | The new section title will be displayed in full above anyhow. | 17:36 |
| th1a | In breadcrumbs and/or title/subtitle | 17:37 |
| aelkner | th1a, that's another thing i wanted to discuss | 17:37 |
| th1a | Well, let's just deal with the menu issue for now. | 17:37 |
| aelkner | if the gradebook view had section title as title and 'Gradebook' as subtitle | 17:37 |
| aelkner | yvl, i could go ahead and code th new manager myself | 17:38 |
| yvl | sure, aelkner | 17:38 |
| th1a | aelkner: Let's not worry about that for now. | 17:38 |
| aelkner | about what? | 17:38 |
| aelkner | ambiguous anticedents always confue me | 17:39 |
| th1a | Title/subtitle. | 17:39 |
| aelkner | oh, ok | 17:39 |
| replaceafill | question: why don't we make "Add Worksheet" a (+) button next to the worksheet tab names? ala firefox | 17:39 |
| aelkner | what about hide worksheet? | 17:39 |
| th1a | That's a good idea. | 17:39 |
| th1a | Stay focused, please. | 17:40 |
| th1a | We're in the "move large things around" phase. | 17:40 |
| th1a | Not "Where does this picture go." | 17:40 |
| replaceafill | sorry | 17:40 |
| th1a | So can aelkner try moving the menus over? | 17:41 |
| aelkner | yes | 17:41 |
| aelkner | where should it go | 17:41 |
| aelkner | top of the left sidebar? | 17:41 |
| aelkner | after Add? | 17:41 |
| aelkner | before Add? | 17:41 |
| th1a | Before. | 17:41 |
| aelkner | and so I add Settings linkset with Preferences link? | 17:42 |
| aelkner | do i add | 17:42 |
| aelkner | below Add, of course | 17:42 |
| th1a | Settings is last. | 17:42 |
| th1a | I really want to rough out the main content area first. | 17:42 |
| th1a | Move the menus over. | 17:42 |
| aelkner | ok, i'l start by working on the menu | 17:43 |
| th1a | (move past x weeks into preferences) | 17:43 |
| th1a | move worksheet nav into tertiary navigation. | 17:43 |
| th1a | Fill the right margin with the gradebook. | 17:43 |
| aelkner | replaceafill, i need to use a different base class? | 17:43 |
| th1a | Get rid of the rows eliminated by the coming dropdowns. | 17:44 |
| aelkner | did you create a wider one? | 17:44 |
| replaceafill | aelkner yes you have to use a different class and no i didnt create a wider one | 17:44 |
| replaceafill | well, we use to have PageExpanded | 17:44 |
| aelkner | so i need to create the wider one? | 17:44 |
| replaceafill | yes | 17:44 |
| aelkner | PageExpanded has no sidebar, so what should i create? | 17:45 |
| aelkner | WideContent? | 17:45 |
| replaceafill | +1 | 17:45 |
| aelkner | ok | 17:45 |
| replaceafill | and it's only for setting an extra class in the <div.container> | 17:45 |
| aelkner | i thought so, a new class that will have wider css setting | 17:46 |
| replaceafill | so you should have "<div class="container widecontainer"> | 17:46 |
| replaceafill | or something | 17:46 |
| aelkner | and add widecontainer to page.css? | 17:46 |
| replaceafill | right, all the widecontainer css rule must do is padding-right: 0 | 17:47 |
| replaceafill | i think | 17:47 |
| aelkner | ok, plenty to play around with | 17:47 |
| aelkner | th1a, should i get rid of the mouseover for larger dsecription | 17:47 |
| th1a | Yes. | 17:47 |
| th1a | I mean, we may bring that back in some way, | 17:47 |
| aelkner | we'll have a better solution for that later, rght? | 17:48 |
| th1a | but that special space won't be there. | 17:48 |
| aelkner | ok | 17:48 |
| th1a | Mouseover will probably trigger *something* | 17:48 |
| th1a | If you want to leave a stub there. | 17:48 |
| aelkner | and the worksheet tabs will look exactly like year tabs in /courses, right? | 17:48 |
| th1a | They should be going in the same well, yes. | 17:50 |
| aelkner | i meant they should look the same with same css | 17:50 |
| aelkner | but moving the show only last n weeks to preferences is a great idea | 17:51 |
| aelkner | it is a rare feature, so it doesn't need to crowd the everyday workspace, rght? | 17:52 |
| th1a | Yes. | 17:52 |
| aelkner | about the menu for changing term or section | 17:52 |
| aelkner | the sidebar managers for linksets have a title | 17:53 |
| aelkner | and they indent for the links | 17:53 |
| aelkner | how do you want the changer to look? | 17:53 |
| aelkner | title? | 17:53 |
| th1a | Title. | 17:54 |
| th1a | Just title. | 17:55 |
| aelkner | so the title of the sidebar for changing section or term should be 'Title'?! | 17:55 |
| aelkner | or we could have no title and no indent | 17:55 |
| aelkner | please look at the linksets that we have as a reference for what i'm asking you here | 17:55 |
| th1a | No... | 17:56 |
| th1a | Term | 17:56 |
| th1a | Section | 17:56 |
| aelkner | each sidebar manager has a title | 17:56 |
| th1a | Yes. | 17:56 |
| th1a | The menu itself should just have the titles of terms and sections. | 17:56 |
| aelkner | you're confusing me because you use words like menu for a <select> element | 17:57 |
| th1a | I'll be here for a while aelkner. | 17:57 |
| aelkner | and that is not a menu | 17:57 |
| th1a | Meanwhile, | 17:57 |
| * th1a drops the bag of gravel. | 17:57 | |
| th1a | Have a good day/evening guys! | 17:57 |
| aelkner | so i'll just type stuff here until you agree with what i'm saying | 17:57 |
| replaceafill | aelkner the css rule for the widecontainer: | 17:57 |
| yvl | can I just ask to reiterate a bit on what I should be doing next? | 17:57 |
| replaceafill | .page > .body > .widecontainer { | 17:57 |
| replaceafill | padding: 16px; | 17:57 |
| replaceafill | width: 720px; | 17:57 |
| replaceafill | } | 17:57 |
| replaceafill | sorry for interrupting | 17:58 |
| aelkner | replaceafill, thanks | 17:58 |
| aelkner | yvl, go ahead | 17:58 |
| yvl | umm, I'm actually asking | 17:58 |
| * yvl has no idea what's the next priority | 17:58 | |
| th1a | I guess we removed your top two, yvl. | 17:59 |
| yvl | yes | 17:59 |
| yvl | so there's the do something with the Application view | 17:59 |
| th1a | Oh, easy then. | 17:59 |
| th1a | Timetables! | 17:59 |
| yvl | and those :) | 17:59 |
| th1a | Do timetables. | 18:00 |
| yvl | ok | 18:00 |
| yvl | thanks | 18:00 |
| yvl | and good day to you guys! | 18:00 |
| aelkner | yvl, add schoolyear currently has copy timetables commented out | 18:00 |
| aelkner | because you got rid of ITimetableSchemaContainer | 18:00 |
| yvl | yes, aelkner, I noticed | 18:01 |
| aelkner | or something | 18:01 |
| aelkner | so you could fix that | 18:01 |
| yvl | I'll take care of it, sure :) | 18:01 |
| yvl | thanks for reminding :) | 18:01 |
| aelkner | my pleasure :) | 18:01 |
| aelkner | th1a, to create the menu for changing term or section i need you to communicate to me | 18:01 |
| aelkner | what you want in a way that communoicates what you want | 18:02 |
| th1a | aelkner: I want nothing out of the ordinary. | 18:02 |
| th1a | Section header: | 18:02 |
| th1a | Term | 18:02 |
| aelkner | then dropdown | 18:02 |
| th1a | A dropdown containing the titles of the relevant terms. | 18:02 |
| th1a | Section header: | 18:02 |
| th1a | Section | 18:02 |
| aelkner | then Section header: Section | 18:02 |
| th1a | A dropdown containing the relevant section titles. | 18:03 |
| th1a | You need to be able to see the whole section titles when selecting them. | 18:03 |
| aelkner | ok, each section (which we call manager) has it's own block of html | 18:03 |
| th1a | Truncate (with ...) otherwise to prevent breaking the sidebar. | 18:03 |
| aelkner | which has padding | 18:03 |
| aelkner | i.e., takes up space | 18:03 |
| aelkner | but you know what, i won't worry about that for noe | 18:04 |
| aelkner | now | 18:04 |
| th1a | Thank you. :-D | 18:04 |
| aelkner | i'll just get it rendered, and we can look at it after that | 18:04 |
| th1a | If we can move these menus, and get the column menus working, it is all downhill from there. | 18:04 |
| th1a | But until that happens, I'm not going to think about little things. | 18:05 |
| aelkner | ok | 18:05 |
| *** yvl has quit IRC | 18:09 | |
| th1a | aelkner: It is not out of the question that we'll get rid of the title/subtitle in the gradebook. | 19:52 |
| aelkner | ah, the double-negative question? :) | 20:02 |
| aelkner | i'd say, no it not not possible to not do it | 20:02 |
| aelkner | but seriously, you're asking if we could get rid of the title/subtitle? | 20:02 |
| aelkner | and gain the screen real-estate? | 20:02 |
| aelkner | th1a, do we do that in any other views yet? | 20:03 |
| th1a | That would be a new feature, aelkner. | 20:08 |
| aelkner | th1a typed: 'aelkner: It is not out of the question that we'll get rid of the title/subtitle in the gradebook. | 20:09 |
| * aelkner wonders what is being asked | 20:09 | |
| th1a | It is not a question. | 20:09 |
| aelkner | it is | 20:09 |
| aelkner | not is it | 20:09 |
| aelkner | sorry, my bad | 20:09 |
| aelkner | dyslexia and all | 20:10 |
| th1a | Oh... ok. | 20:10 |
| aelkner | so i get your point now | 20:10 |
| replaceafill | th1a section_linkage.html is different from edit section in that it unlinks the section in both sides (prev and next), while section edit lets you disconnect only one | 20:17 |
| *** aks has quit IRC | 20:36 | |
| th1a | replaceafill: So the section_linkage view is a superset? | 20:53 |
| replaceafill | yes, kind of | 20:53 |
| replaceafill | i'd say we keep the additional fieldset in edit section | 20:53 |
| th1a | I was thinking the oopposite. | 20:53 |
| replaceafill | ah, ok | 20:54 |
| replaceafill | unlink now means on both sides | 20:54 |
| th1a | It clutters up the edit view. | 20:54 |
| replaceafill | that's true | 20:54 |
| th1a | Oh, I see. | 20:54 |
| th1a | It ONLY lets you disconnect both. | 20:54 |
| replaceafill | yes | 20:54 |
| th1a | You could reconnect one then though, right? | 20:54 |
| replaceafill | if we keep the fieldset in edit? | 20:55 |
| th1a | No, in the section linkage. | 20:56 |
| replaceafill | ah yes | 20:56 |
| th1a | You could unlink it from both, then reconnect to one. | 20:56 |
| replaceafill | link to a section (in this term) | 20:56 |
| replaceafill | link to an existing section | 20:56 |
| replaceafill | that's is | 20:56 |
| replaceafill | that's it | 20:56 |
| th1a | So yes, I'd get rid of it in the edit view. | 20:57 |
| th1a | We haven't been cramming that kind of thing in other edit views. | 20:57 |
| replaceafill | i agree | 20:58 |
| replaceafill | so, two views will die: link_previous and link_next | 20:58 |
| replaceafill | and the central place for linking will be section_linkage.html | 20:58 |
| replaceafill | th1a http://69.164.203.135:9990/schoolyears/2010/semester-2/sections/1/section_linkage.html | 20:59 |
| replaceafill | i was thinking of doing "Extend to This Term" a dialog | 20:59 |
| replaceafill | is that ok? | 20:59 |
| th1a | I don't follow. | 20:59 |
| replaceafill | it's jus a question with "Extend" Cancel buttons | 20:59 |
| replaceafill | visit that url | 20:59 |
| replaceafill | you will see in Semester 1 | 21:00 |
| th1a | Oh... | 21:00 |
| replaceafill | the option Extend to This Term | 21:00 |
| replaceafill | you click it and get a question | 21:00 |
| th1a | Yes, make that a dialog. | 21:00 |
| th1a | I'm not sure we ever needed a confirmation, | 21:00 |
| replaceafill | also: http://69.164.203.135:9990/schoolyears/2010/semester-2/sections/1/section_linkage.html | 21:00 |
| th1a | but I suppose it is a pretty big jump if you just wonder what happens when I click this? | 21:01 |
| replaceafill | "Unlink this Section" smells like dialog too | 21:01 |
| th1a | Sure. | 21:01 |
| replaceafill | again, question with two buttons | 21:01 |
| replaceafill | kk, will work on that | 21:02 |
| replaceafill | small stuff i've written down: | 21:02 |
| replaceafill | * Person add forms: show success message '${person} was successfully added' after hitting 'Submit and add' | 21:02 |
| replaceafill | there's no confirmation the person you added WAS added | 21:03 |
| th1a | Yes. | 21:03 |
| th1a | That is, you are right. | 21:03 |
| replaceafill | * /demographics and /resource_demographics Done buttons are redirecting to /settings, should they redirect to /manage? | 21:03 |
| th1a | I guess so, yes. | 21:03 |
| replaceafill | * Delete link should not be rendered when viewing 'manager'. You get a Dependency error | 21:03 |
| th1a | OK. | 21:05 |
