| th1a | hi replaceafill. | 16:21 |
|---|---|---|
| replaceafill | hey th1a | 16:21 |
| replaceafill | th1a, do you know that this means: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/schooltool.peas/+spec/a-level-reports? | 16:22 |
| th1a | No... is there a calculation that doesn't apply to all levels? | 16:22 |
| replaceafill | yeah, in the student report | 16:23 |
| replaceafill | but we also have this: | 16:23 |
| replaceafill | https://blueprints.launchpad.net/schooltool.peas/+spec/division-calculation | 16:23 |
| th1a | Ah, well, maybe it is just a duplicate. | 16:24 |
| th1a | I don't know. | 16:24 |
| replaceafill | she wrote it twice... | 16:24 |
| replaceafill | i'll ask | 16:24 |
| th1a | Yeah. | 16:25 |
| th1a | I try not to interject another level of interpretation into these minutia. | 16:25 |
| replaceafill | sometimes i need your interpretation though | 16:26 |
| replaceafill | when Fran and i get mixed | 16:26 |
| th1a | Yeah, sure. | 16:26 |
| th1a | Did you get a chance to look over the hours? | 16:32 |
| replaceafill | yeah | 16:32 |
| replaceafill | i've updated the sheet | 16:32 |
| replaceafill | i added a migrate-peas row | 16:33 |
| replaceafill | for all the hours related to the "rush" :) | 16:33 |
| replaceafill | moving peas to work with schooltool.ark and friends | 16:33 |
| th1a | Right. | 16:33 |
| replaceafill | could you take a look at: | 16:33 |
| replaceafill | https://blueprints.launchpad.net/schooltool.ark/+spec/middle-name-in-reports | 16:33 |
| th1a | Whew, we're over 240... | 16:33 |
| replaceafill | oh yeah | 16:34 |
| th1a | The dollar is at a high vs the pound right now. | 16:34 |
| th1a | Just for reference... heard it on the news yesterday. | 16:34 |
| replaceafill | that's bad for us, right? | 16:34 |
| replaceafill | strong dollar = bad | 16:34 |
| replaceafill | right? | 16:34 |
| th1a | No, we switched to billing by dollars. | 16:35 |
| th1a | Doesn't matter to us. | 16:35 |
| replaceafill | ah | 16:35 |
| replaceafill | got it | 16:35 |
| th1a | Or else I'd be really sad. | 16:35 |
| replaceafill | i remember your old euro budget days :) | 16:35 |
| th1a | They can handle it easier than we can. | 16:35 |
| th1a | That mainly just resulted in me begin under budget every year, which probably made Mark happy. | 16:35 |
| replaceafill | :) | 16:36 |
| replaceafill | can we disscuss the middle-name story? | 16:36 |
| th1a | What's up with the middle name blueprint? | 16:36 |
| replaceafill | so | 16:36 |
| replaceafill | the custom export | 16:36 |
| replaceafill | shows only the "title" property for the students | 16:36 |
| replaceafill | "Tom Hoffman" | 16:36 |
| replaceafill | title is generated either by "first_name last_name" | 16:36 |
| replaceafill | or viceversa | 16:36 |
| th1a | Ah. | 16:37 |
| replaceafill | hold on | 16:37 |
| replaceafill | ok | 16:37 |
| replaceafill | no viceversa | 16:37 |
| replaceafill | it's always first + last | 16:37 |
| replaceafill | it's the gradebook that adjusts the columns based on preferences | 16:38 |
| replaceafill | anyway | 16:38 |
| replaceafill | for rising, we added middle names only to the journal view | 16:38 |
| replaceafill | so first name became just "name" | 16:38 |
| replaceafill | this was due to journey, etc | 16:38 |
| replaceafill | what do you think of changing person's title property to always show | 16:39 |
| replaceafill | first + middle + last | 16:39 |
| replaceafill | title is used in a lot of places | 16:39 |
| replaceafill | and in this blueprint, Fran thinks middle name is a demographics | 16:39 |
| th1a | I don't know... do you think it would cause a size problem in many places? | 16:39 |
| replaceafill | which it isn't | 16:39 |
| th1a | Well, yeah, she doesn't know the difference. | 16:40 |
| th1a | I would suggest just adding the individual name values to the custom export. | 16:40 |
| replaceafill | you mean use first + middle + last *only* in the custom export? | 16:40 |
| replaceafill | i don't want to break the title in 3 columns | 16:41 |
| replaceafill | title = full name | 16:41 |
| th1a | I mean add another drop down that lets you select the individual name values. | 16:41 |
| th1a | First, Last, Middle, etc. | 16:41 |
| th1a | Why not? | 16:41 |
| replaceafill | too much work | 16:42 |
| replaceafill | :) | 16:42 |
| th1a | Well, we're talking to Fran in a few minutes. Ask her. | 16:42 |
| replaceafill | should we remake this blueprint to show that | 16:42 |
| replaceafill | ok | 16:42 |
| th1a | Do we always have the ID in the first column on those? | 16:42 |
| replaceafill | nope | 16:42 |
| th1a | In the export? The "primary key" | 16:42 |
| th1a | OK. | 16:42 |
| th1a | Hm... | 16:42 |
| th1a | We probably should ask about that too. | 16:43 |
| replaceafill | oh | 16:43 |
| th1a | Right now we always have the Title in row A? | 16:43 |
| replaceafill | we already have a Details dropdown | 16:43 |
| replaceafill | you mean, column? | 16:43 |
| replaceafill | column A? | 16:43 |
| th1a | Details has name info? | 16:44 |
| th1a | Now I'm confused. | 16:44 |
| replaceafill | under details we only have gender and birth date | 16:44 |
| th1a | OK, so right now, is anything automatically in the export? | 16:44 |
| replaceafill | just the title | 16:44 |
| replaceafill | first + last name | 16:44 |
| th1a | OK, I would say that is wrong. | 16:44 |
| replaceafill | indeed | 16:44 |
| th1a | We should discuss this with Fran. | 16:44 |
| th1a | OK. | 16:44 |
| replaceafill | ok | 16:44 |
| th1a | I'd say that should always be ID. | 16:44 |
| replaceafill | why does it have to be the first? | 16:45 |
| replaceafill | can't we include it under details | 16:45 |
| replaceafill | btw, that's the username | 16:45 |
| replaceafill | in the general case | 16:45 |
| replaceafill | only ARK has username translated to ID | 16:45 |
| th1a | I would think for clarity/data integrity it should always be there as a matter of principle. | 16:45 |
| th1a | Yes, username. | 16:46 |
| th1a | That's what I mean. | 16:46 |
| th1a | Schooltool username. | 16:46 |
| replaceafill | when i think of it being username.... doesn't make sense to make it default | 16:46 |
| replaceafill | anyway | 16:46 |
| replaceafill | i'll add it to my discuss things | 16:46 |
| th1a | The underlying point here is that if it is just name you can't differentiate -- which is part of why they need middle name there. | 16:46 |
| replaceafill | right | 16:47 |
| replaceafill | my point is that maybe you don't want it always showing up | 16:47 |
| replaceafill | becuase in some contexts you don't want usernames being displayed in reoprts | 16:47 |
| th1a | Well, we'll have to ask. | 16:48 |
| replaceafill | ok | 16:48 |
| th1a | This is what I mean about staying out of the middle of things... ;-) | 16:48 |
| replaceafill | if we start doing what i think it's common sense | 16:48 |
| replaceafill | we're dead | 16:48 |
| th1a | Well, mostly that has worked out ok. Except for promotion... | 16:50 |
| replaceafill | :'( | 16:50 |
| th1a | But that's partly because it is such an unintuitive implementation. | 16:50 |
| th1a | I mean, I think it is a good implementation, aside from the fact that it makes no sense. | 16:50 |
| th1a | OK. | 16:51 |
| th1a | Anyhow, as long as we're getting paid, I'll take it. ;-) | 16:53 |
| replaceafill | oh | 16:54 |
| replaceafill | https://blueprints.launchpad.net/schooltool.ark/+spec/display-class | 16:55 |
| *** robb_nl has quit IRC | 16:55 | |
| replaceafill | where does that specify that the level column should be sortable...? | 16:55 |
| replaceafill | it was just 2 hours | 16:56 |
| replaceafill | but that's what i mean about things not being specified in blueprints | 16:56 |
| replaceafill | i'd add the 2 hours to the display-class estimate | 16:56 |
| th1a | Yeah, just do that. | 16:56 |
| th1a | That is FINE. | 16:56 |
| replaceafill | kk | 16:57 |
