* th1a is back.17:33
aelknerhey th1a17:46
th1ahi aelkner.17:46
aelknernothing to show you today, though i'll have lots for you on Monday morning17:46
aelknerbut i have a couple of questions17:46
th1aOK.17:46
aelknerfor the messge(s)/goal(s) views17:47
aelknerfir the singular views17:47
aelknerwe need an <h3> with a pencil by it for edit17:47
aelknerthen, doe each field, we need a label, then the value17:47
aelknerfor each field17:48
th1aThe fields in question being?17:48
aelknerFrom (sender), To (recipients), Body for message17:48
aelknerlet's start there17:48
aelknerfor From, what element would be best?17:48
aelkner<span>?17:49
aelkneri know you want <p> for the values, right?17:49
aelknerwhat about the labels?17:49
th1aWhat is the h3, you refer to above?  Title?17:49
aelknergood question17:49
aelknerThe title/subtitle is also a question17:50
aelknerIntervention: Message?17:50
aelknerthen Message regarding John Doe for the <h3>?17:50
aelknerin old skin version, that's what the fieldset legend had17:51
aelknerbut do we want to use fieldsets for display views this time?17:51
th1aThis conversation would go quicker if I was looking at an old message.17:52
aelkneryou don't have an old instance handy?17:52
th1afiring it up17:52
aelknerdid replaceafill set up a demo instance for that?17:52
aelknerah, you have one17:52
th1aWe're just talking about message view here?17:56
aelknerso far17:57
aelknerand messages17:57
aelknerit wouldn't hurt to think about them together17:57
aelkneri guess whatever looks good for one message should look good for multiple17:57
th1aJust as h317:58
th1aFrom:17:58
th1aTo:17:58
th1aDate:17:58
th1aAnd then we'll go from there.17:58
aelknerah, the pencil after From:17:58
th1aCan you edit a message?17:59
aelkneractually, there is no edit message17:59
aelknernever mind17:59
th1aRight.17:59
aelkneryou can't edit email17:59
th1aThese message should have a subject too, but that's a different question.17:59
aelknerthat's a data model question, something we never considered necessary in the past18:00
aelknerbut we could add it in the future18:00
aelknerperhaps after the release?18:00
th1aperhaps.18:00
aelknerso no more box around the message like in the old skin version?18:01
aelknerust h3, p, h3, p, etc.?18:01
th1ay18:02
th1aOnly make it more complicated as necessary.18:02
aelknerwhat about multiple messages?18:02
aelknerwhat would we use to set one off against the other?18:02
th1aIt is really better to do this iteratively than guess at something complicated.18:03
aelknerwhat do you mean?18:03
aelknerdo you mean you'd rather see the single message view before deciding how the multiple would look?18:06
th1aNo, I mean I just want to see what simple formatting looks like.18:18
*** menesis has quit IRC18:18
aelkneri'm working on the message view right now so that you can look18:19
aelknerth1a, here's the first draft of the view:18:34
aelknerhttp://69.164.203.135:36660/schooltool.interventions/2010-2011/jdoe/messages/118:34
aelknerthe Done button takes you back to the student intervention view18:34
th1aok...18:39
th1aPut the information on the same line.18:40
th1aAlso... just make it a little table.18:40
th1aAbove the body.18:40
aelknera table with From, To and Date as columns18:41
aelknerthen the h3, p for the body?18:42
th1aWhat's the h3?18:46
aelkneryeah, no need for that18:46
aelknerone sec...18:46
aelknerman, tables looks so nice in flourish!18:48
aelknerhttp://69.164.203.135:36660/schooltool.interventions/2010-2011/jdoe/messages/118:48
th1aOh...18:48
th1aI was thinking two columns.18:48
aelknerwhich ones?18:49
th1aA headerless key/value table.18:49
th1aIsn't that what you were talking about in the beginning?18:49
th1aAnyway, try that.18:49
aelkneroh, sorry, i didn't understand18:49
th1anp18:49
aelknerwhat about the body18:49
aelkneralso in column two of the two column table?18:50
aelknerthing is18:50
aelknernow that i did the table as is, it makes multiple messages easier18:50
aelknerthey would be naturally set off from one another with the thead css18:50
aelknerthe grey bar, i mean18:51
aelknerand the bodey can flow as long as it wants to below18:51
aelknersome message could be long, so i'm not sure what it would look like in col 218:51
th1aNo... the message still just goes below in a paragraph.18:52
aelknerok, so a three row, two column table, then <p> below for body, no <h3>18:52
aelknerand not thead for the table18:53
aelknerall correct?18:53
th1aYes.18:54
aelknerhttp://69.164.203.135:36660/schooltool.interventions/2010-2011/jdoe/messages/118:55
aelkneri guess the horizontal rule at the top of any non-thead table would set off one message form the other18:56
aelkneryou think?18:58
th1aYeah, that's pretty good.18:58
aelknerok18:58
*** menesis has joined #schooltool18:58
aelkneri'll do the multiple view now so that you could see it this after noon18:58
aelknerwhat about the More... you talked about?18:59
th1aMove the second column about an inch to the right.18:59
th1aMore instead of show all?18:59
aelkneryeah18:59
th1aWhat about it?18:59
aelknerwhere should the link go in the student view18:59
aelknerright after the table?18:59
aelkneri'm not sure More is clearer than Show All though19:00
th1aAfter the table.19:01
th1aIt is an iterative process... ;-)19:01
aelkner:)19:02
aelknerMore or Show All?19:02
th1aTrying things out.19:02
aelkneranyway, it's not important, you can decide the text later19:02
aelkneri'll go with More for now19:03
th1aMore...19:03
aelknerok19:03

aelkner:)19:10
aelknerbastards19:10
aelknerway to expose our weeknesses19:10
aelknerand of course, my personal idol, Troy, had another big play19:11
aelkneryou guys should be good this year, but anything can happen come playoff time19:11
th1aThe question is whether the Steelers' defense is going to suddenly get old before it can get young.19:23
th1aAlso, I'd be happy if Polamalu would just lay down after making an interception in the preseason.19:24
aelknerhow about Vick tackling him!19:25
th1aAh, I haven't seen the replay yet.19:25
aelknerfrustration with three interceptions not withstanding...19:25
aelknerhttp://69.164.203.135:36660/schooltool.interventions/2010-2011/jdoe19:25
aelknerthe More button may be too big as h319:25
th1ayes.19:25
aelknerrefresh19:27
*** menesis has quit IRC19:27
aelknerit's not h3, so it doesn't have space before it any more19:28

th1aaelkner:  Do you know what kind of setup problem causes this kind of error: LocationError: (<schooltool.basicperson.person.BasicPerson object at 0xe2e43ac>, 'layout.css')19:36
aelknerthat's the error we always get when we haven't created the flourish version of a view19:36
aelknerwhen we already have the same exact view registered in the old skin19:37
aelknerotherwise, Not Found would come up19:37
th1aAh.19:37
th1aThis is my fresh flourish, with checkouts for flourish.gradebook, etc.19:37
th1aDo I need to do something to tell it to use those?19:37
