replaceafillth1a, ping17:32
th1ahi replaceafill.17:32
replaceafillsorry for the delay, my ISP has been... the usual after a storm :(17:33
th1aSure.17:33
th1aOK, let me print these out.17:33
replaceafillok17:33
th1aI wish I had a full page version of Vinny's.17:34
replaceafillme too17:35
replaceafillit's difficult to compare sizes with page 217:36
replaceafillth1a, i realized layouts are stored by school year17:39
th1aIs that bad?17:39
th1aYou might want to change them over time.17:40
th1aSo it was on purpose.17:40
replaceafillno, but we're not using the per year functionality yet, correct?17:40
th1aUnlike some other things. ;-)17:40
th1aIn what sense?17:40
replaceafilli mean, the report card looks explicitly for the "current" term/schoolyear17:41
replaceafilldoesn't allow you to say "give me last year report card" for instance17:42
th1aRight.17:42
th1aWell.17:42
th1aIs there a question here or should we just move on.17:43
replaceafillno, move on :)17:43
th1aOK.17:43
th1aHow would you feel about diverging from Vinny and removing the background behind the comments themselves?17:44
replaceafill+117:44
th1aOK.17:44
th1aThis looks good to me at this point otherwise.17:46
th1aI mean, in terms of overall layout.17:46
replaceafillwant to see the "no background in comments" version?17:46
*** th1a_ has quit IRC17:46
th1aHave you looked at merging this with the new attendance system.17:46
replaceafillno, not yet17:47
replaceafilli've been more worried about the paddings :(17:47
* replaceafill sigh... yahoo...17:48
replaceafillth1a, sent17:48
replaceafill(from gmail) :D17:48
th1aHm... there is still a background behind the row that says "comments"17:50
th1a?17:50
replaceafillhhmm no17:51
replaceafillboth sections are using the same color17:51
replaceafill(comments label and comments themselves)17:51
th1aJust put the light gray behind the comments header like the other headers.17:51
th1aI wasn't scolding you about the new attendance system, just checking.17:52
replaceafillah! nicer :)17:53
replaceafillsent17:53
th1aYeah, that's the ticket.17:54
th1aAlthough arguably the whole thing is unnecessary.17:54
th1aTry a gray line instead of the word Comments and the bar.17:54
th1aYou can tell they're comments!17:54
replaceafill:D17:55
replaceafillkk17:55
replaceafillhhmm17:56
replaceafillsent17:56
replaceafillmaybe the line is too dark17:57
th1aTry what we were using as the background for the "Comments" line.17:57
replaceafillyou mean a lighter line, correct?17:58
th1aLIghter color.17:58
replaceafillright17:58
replaceafillsent17:59
replaceafilli think it needs to be thicker18:00
th1aNo... it does need to be higher though.  The numbers should be centered.18:01
th1aVertically.18:01
replaceafillah, got it18:01
replaceafillsent18:02
replaceafillbetter?18:02
th1aYou could move it up a touch more and move the numbers down a touch.18:03
replaceafillggrr, paragraph alignment!18:07
replaceafilla sec th1a, messing with the table style...18:08
replaceafillth1a, sent18:13
replaceafilli still see the numbers "not aligned to the middle"18:14
replaceafillbut that's what set in the style definition18:14
th1aWell... if it is turning into an RML nightmare that might be good enough.18:14
th1aHaving a slightly larger margin below is common in text layout.18:14
th1aIt doesn't look odd to me.18:15
replaceafillmy laptop monitor doesn't help much either18:15
th1aI think it is an improvement.18:15
replaceafilli have to move it constantly to see the change18:15
th1aDo you have a printer?18:15
replaceafill:D18:15
replaceafillyes18:15
th1aI can't do this kind of work at all with one monitor.18:15
th1aYou should buy a second monitor.18:15
th1aReally.18:15
replaceafillyes18:15
th1aYou REALLY SHOULD.18:16
replaceafill:D18:16
th1aYou will work significantly faster on this kind of stuff.18:16
th1aAnd they're so cheap now.18:16
replaceafilltrue, but i'll need a bigger desk :(18:16
replaceafill$$$18:16
replaceafill:P18:16
th1aGet a few cinder blocks and some tin.18:17
replaceafill:D18:17
replaceafillanyway, that's good enough?18:17
replaceafilli'll print it18:17
th1aYeah.18:17
th1aI think so.18:18
th1aI think it is better.18:18
th1aWe'll need to update to the new journal system, update the layout form, and make some adjustments to the score bar.18:18
replaceafillah yes, you said "hard wire journal options" yesterday18:19
replaceafilli suppose you want the attendance/tardies on the left, right?18:19
th1aWell... maybe.18:19
replaceafillbased on one of your previous comments about them looking ugly on the right18:19
replaceafillok18:19
th1aIf that seems possible.18:20
replaceafillso first, sync with journal trunk18:20
th1aWe also need to have a space for day attendance at top.18:20
th1aCan you currently include journal scores in the report card?18:20
th1aIf not, we should add that option too.18:20
replaceafillno, just the absences and tardies18:21
replaceafillthe report card itself can handle journal scores though18:22
replaceafilli mean, the report card class18:22
th1aWell, it will need to be an option in the layout.18:23
replaceafillalthough looking at the journal trunk, that'll require a change anyway18:23
replaceafillok18:23
th1aAnd the layout form can get rid of the two parts, right?18:23
th1aNo more "outline" view.18:23
replaceafillin the data model they're stored separately, but i don't think that's a problem18:25
replaceafillaccording to my notes, "we should 'autodetect' comments"18:25
th1aYes.18:26
th1aAlso, just so you know, to be clear, we're really going to have to do a grid only report card layout for cards with no comments.18:27
th1aThis one only really works with comments.18:27
replaceafillah18:27
th1aSo all that should keep us busy the rest of the month.18:27
replaceafillso, when you don't "detect" comments, we adjust the table layouts?18:28
replaceafillas in: use a different style18:28
th1aIt should probably be a choice.18:28
replaceafillah ok18:28
th1aYou just can't handle every case with one layout.18:28
replaceafillthat option should go in the request dialog maybe?18:28
replaceafillnm18:29
replaceafillsounds more like a "layout option"18:29
replaceafillok, i'll start adjusting this to the journal trunk18:30
replaceafillthe flourish branch should stay this way though18:30
th1aI guess, yes.18:31
replaceafillok, i'll go get ready for my class18:31
replaceafillthanks th1a18:32
replaceafillsee you later18:32
replaceafillah18:32
th1aYep.  Thanks replaceafill.18:32
replaceafillwe have a meeting with jelkner & co. today at 3pm, here18:32
replaceafilljelkner summer ;)18:32

replaceafilljelkner, can you answer my "loading skills question"?22:10
