| th1a | hi replaceafill | 22:28 |
|---|---|---|
| replaceafill | hey th1a | 22:28 |
| th1a | Did you have a chance to look at the auto-deprecate? | 22:29 |
| replaceafill | no, not yet | 22:29 |
| replaceafill | i did see your email | 22:29 |
| replaceafill | about the need of more search options? | 22:30 |
| replaceafill | i can update my cando now if you want to discuss it | 22:31 |
| th1a | Yeah, you're going to have to make a few changes. | 22:33 |
| replaceafill | th1a, looking at the retire view | 22:35 |
| th1a | First of all, it needs to be changed to deprecate. | 22:35 |
| replaceafill | it's the regular search | 22:35 |
| replaceafill | ah ok | 22:35 |
| th1a | Isn't that what we're using in the UI as well? | 22:35 |
| * replaceafill writes things down | 22:35 | |
| replaceafill | some places still use Visible iirc | 22:36 |
| replaceafill | the spreadsheets/importer is up-to-date | 22:36 |
| th1a | OK, but we're moving toward deprecate. | 22:36 |
| replaceafill | kk | 22:36 |
| th1a | What fields is it searching? | 22:37 |
| replaceafill | ok, got to the code | 22:39 |
| replaceafill | fields? | 22:39 |
| th1a | What is it searching? | 22:39 |
| th1a | id? | 22:39 |
| th1a | title? | 22:39 |
| th1a | label? | 22:40 |
| replaceafill | oh | 22:40 |
| replaceafill | got it | 22:40 |
| replaceafill | let me look | 22:40 |
| replaceafill | yes, it creates a long text string from: | 22:40 |
| replaceafill | title, label and description for nodes | 22:41 |
| replaceafill | ah | 22:41 |
| replaceafill | and layers | 22:41 |
| replaceafill | well, layer titles of nodes | 22:41 |
| replaceafill | for skills | 22:41 |
| replaceafill | it looks in title, external_id, label and description | 22:41 |
| replaceafill | for skillsets | 22:42 |
| replaceafill | title, label and description | 22:42 |
| replaceafill | hhmm | 22:43 |
| replaceafill | can single skills be retired? | 22:43 |
| replaceafill | sorr | 22:43 |
| replaceafill | deprecated | 22:43 |
| th1a | Would it be very difficult to let the user choose the attribute it searches for? | 22:43 |
| th1a | I'd say a single skill should be retire-able. | 22:43 |
| replaceafill | th1a, yes, it would | 22:44 |
| replaceafill | we're using a text field in the catalog | 22:44 |
| th1a | mumblegrumble. | 22:44 |
| replaceafill | catalogs | 22:44 |
| replaceafill | we create this long string each time the object is added/modified | 22:44 |
| replaceafill | let me check the catalogs again | 22:44 |
| replaceafill | although, the catalogs do have each attribute indexed | 22:45 |
| * replaceafill thinks about what would need to change... | 22:45 | |
| replaceafill | hhmm maybe not so difficult th1a | 22:48 |
| replaceafill | the query generation part is isolated in a single table | 22:48 |
| replaceafill | and the filter method is very clear to me after a recent change we made | 22:49 |
| th1a | You'd want people to be able to make this pretty focused. | 22:49 |
| replaceafill | i guess we could insert the search by fields (which would have to be common) | 22:49 |
| replaceafill | at the end | 22:49 |
| replaceafill | of the filter method | 22:49 |
| th1a | It could just be ID, label, title. | 22:49 |
| th1a | Which SHOULD BE common... | 22:50 |
| replaceafill | correct | 22:50 |
| replaceafill | i think they are | 22:50 |
| replaceafill | title, label, descrition and retired are common attributes in the catalogs | 22:51 |
| replaceafill | description* | 22:51 |
| th1a | I think ID is what VA actually needs. | 22:52 |
| replaceafill | right | 22:52 |
| replaceafill | searching for ids containing the year, right? | 22:52 |
| replaceafill | *_2012 or something | 22:53 |
| th1a | Yeah. | 22:53 |
| replaceafill | we should add regular expressions! (lame joke) | 22:53 |
| replaceafill | so the can search for *_2012$ | 22:53 |
| replaceafill | ;) | 22:53 |
| replaceafill | anyway | 22:54 |
| replaceafill | what do you suggest for the UI? | 22:54 |
| replaceafill | i mean, how that search should look like? | 22:54 |
| replaceafill | dropdown with attributes? | 22:54 |
| th1a | That would work. | 22:54 |
| replaceafill | name for the field? Attribute? | 22:55 |
| th1a | Sure. | 22:55 |
| th1a | or Field. | 22:55 |
| replaceafill | above layers, right? | 22:55 |
| replaceafill | ah ok | 22:55 |
| replaceafill | i like Field! | 22:56 |
| replaceafill | we should have used that for the Batch Assign view | 22:56 |
| replaceafill | it uses Attribute iirc | 22:56 |
| th1a | Ah. | 22:56 |
| th1a | You could change it if you have a minute. | 22:56 |
| replaceafill | Course attribute | 22:56 |
| th1a | ;-) | 22:56 |
| replaceafill | :D | 22:56 |
| replaceafill | i have a minute to write it down! | 22:56 |
| replaceafill | :P | 22:56 |
| replaceafill | cool, the task looks a lot clearer now | 22:57 |
| replaceafill | i hope i didn't miss something | 22:58 |
| th1a | I think that's it. | 22:58 |
| replaceafill | when should this be ready? | 22:58 |
| replaceafill | by this week? | 22:59 |
| replaceafill | i'll probably need to ask you a few thing about the report card tomorrow btw | 22:59 |
| replaceafill | but i need to set some test data before asking | 22:59 |
| th1a | Oh... | 23:02 |
| th1a | Well, I don't know if I can ask you to task switch without your brain exploding. | 23:02 |
| th1a | But I'd like to get this to Glenda. | 23:02 |
| replaceafill | :( i saw that coming | 23:02 |
| replaceafill | np | 23:03 |
| replaceafill | sure | 23:03 |
| replaceafill | i understand | 23:03 |
| replaceafill | ok, task switch it is | 23:03 |
| th1a | Sorry. | 23:03 |
| replaceafill | don't | 23:03 |
| replaceafill | it's fun! ;) | 23:03 |
| replaceafill | really | 23:03 |
| replaceafill | you learn a lot of your own software :P | 23:03 |
| replaceafill | i've been trying to trick selenium into creating me a real Data.fs from my tests runs | 23:04 |
| replaceafill | so i don't have to run the Selenium IDE tests | 23:04 |
| replaceafill | *and* i can leave the tests in the app ;) | 23:04 |
| replaceafill | i really love what yvl did with the test infrastructure! | 23:04 |
| th1a | Ah, good. | 23:04 |
| replaceafill | we should use it more :P | 23:04 |
| replaceafill | th1a, you still around? | 23:30 |
| th1a | Yes, replaceafill, what's up? | 23:36 |
| replaceafill | quick question | 23:36 |
| replaceafill | we're using Active like the opposite of Deprecated, correct? | 23:36 |
| th1a | Um... where? | 23:37 |
| replaceafill | in the checkbox column | 23:37 |
| replaceafill | for the Deprecate view | 23:37 |
| th1a | I think we should switch it to Deprecated. | 23:37 |
| replaceafill | ah ok, yes i was going to ask you that too | 23:37 |
| replaceafill | similar to the Set Required/Deprecated view for courses | 23:38 |
| replaceafill | ok, thanks | 23:38 |
| replaceafill | i also made the change of Course attribute to Course field, etc in the batch assign view | 23:39 |
| replaceafill | i think we should warn glenda about these UI changes, i mean, so she can update her docs | 23:39 |
| replaceafill | we need to come up with a style solution for this: http://imagebin.org/index.php?mode=image&id=269781 | 23:46 |
| replaceafill | (link spanning two rows in the sidebar) | 23:47 |
| th1a | Or shorten the name. | 23:56 |

| *** replaceafill_ is now known as replaceafill | 23:57 | |
| replaceafill | sorry, electricity failure | 23:58 |
| replaceafill | th1a, i also think of translated options | 23:58 |
| replaceafill | even if you make the english version shorter | 23:58 |
| replaceafill | some translations may become two lines as well | 23:58 |
| th1a | OK... indent the second line? | 23:58 |
| replaceafill | i think we need bullets | 23:59 |
