replaceafillteacher004:teacher00422:05
replaceafilli needed to reset the password22:05
replaceafillwe had an issue with the sample data passwords22:06
replaceafillbut i fixed it already22:06
th1aOK.22:06
replaceafillok i have a few questions:22:06
th1aYou grayed out the unenrolled students.22:06
replaceafill1. what should be the default option?22:07
replaceafillAll or Enrolled?22:07
th1aEnrolled, probably.22:07
replaceafillah ok22:07
replaceafilli'll switch them then22:07
th1aWe should probably still allow them to be edited.22:07
replaceafillto be edited?22:08
th1aI mean, you can still add scores, etc.22:08
replaceafillah22:08
replaceafillgot it22:08
th1aMaybe just change the font color rather than the background?22:08
replaceafillwell, i haven't changed any of that, so they should be scorable22:08
th1aMake the text a medium gray?22:09
replaceafillthat was my next question :)22:09
replaceafillalso22:09
replaceafillif we use color coding for this? should we add a Help option explaining that?22:09
th1aShouldn't I be getting a pop-up when I click on the student name?22:10
replaceafillrefresh22:11
replaceafillin the gradebook view?22:11
replaceafilloh hold on, i was modifying the js22:11
th1aCould we put the enrollment status in the tooltip maybe for the person?22:14
replaceafillah ok22:15
replaceafillok22:16
replaceafillthe popup is back22:16
replaceafillit fails for non-active students22:16
replaceafillbecause of a check in the popup view22:16
replaceafilli'll fix it22:16
th1aOK.22:17
replaceafillnext question22:18
replaceafillshould this look exactly for the enrolled status, or22:18
replaceafillshould we use the ACTIVE code22:18
th1aThat would be the point of ACTIVE, right?22:18
replaceafillyes22:19
th1aSo yes, use active.22:20
replaceafillkk, will do22:20
th1aBecause there could be multiple ACTIVE states, right?22:20
replaceafillyes22:20
replaceafillwell in this context (section enrollment)22:20
replaceafillit's called Member, but it's the same meaning22:21
replaceafillok22:21
replaceafilllast thing is not a question22:21
replaceafilljust a bug i found22:21
replaceafillerrors-configure.html is broken22:21
replaceafillwill fix after the meeting22:21
replaceafilland my last point:22:21
replaceafilli noticed we're still mising some of the optimizations Justas mentioned22:21
replaceafillfor example22:22
replaceafillself.students = list(self.section.members)22:22
replaceafillwe agreed that's bad22:22
replaceafillright?22:22
th1aYes?22:22
replaceafillok, i'll clean them up22:23
replaceafillcando already works with the chagne22:23
replaceafillchange*22:23
replaceafillthe journal uses different components to display the tables22:23
replaceafilli need to update them22:23
replaceafilli also made the dialog we talked about on friday22:24
replaceafillnon-modal22:24
replaceafillremember the screenshot i sent you on friday?22:25
replaceafillwith the options for table relationships22:25
replaceafilli think we should stick with the:22:25
replaceafill[label]22:25
replaceafill[field]22:25
replaceafillpattern22:25
replaceafillinstead of [label]: [field]22:25
th1aOK.22:25
replaceafillbecause of i18n22:25
replaceafill(or l10n)22:25
th1aSure.  Makes sense.22:25
replaceafillok, that's it from me22:26
th1aMaybe just make the tooltip show the enrollment status if they are not ACTIVE.22:27
replaceafillah ok22:27
replaceafillis that gray ok?22:28
replaceafillfor the links?22:28
th1aIt is a bit subtle, but I kind of feel like two more shades of gray may be a wild goose chase.22:29
replaceafillright22:30
th1aIt is fine for now.22:30
replaceafillcool22:30
replaceafilldid you get in touch with David Ally?22:30
replaceafillfor a timeline idea?22:30
th1aWell, let's say this is going to be "done" by Friday at the latest.22:32
th1aSince "done" is pretty much up to us.22:32
th1aI mean, I tried to get him to write down a more specific spec, and he wouldn't so, and he isn't paying us, so he's going to get what he's going to get.22:32
replaceafillah ok22:33
replaceafilli can finish this gradebook work first then?22:33
replaceafilland then switch22:33
th1aYeah.22:33
replaceafillcool22:33
th1aAlso, as I said, most of the fiddly bits of the census can be simplified by just making them a simple form.22:34
replaceafillthat'll be the fastest way probably22:35
th1aI mean, it is lamer, and we'd prefer if this wasn't lame.22:35
replaceafilli thought David Ally got some money for development22:35
replaceafilla grant or something?22:35
th1aFor a moment I thought it was around $110,000, but it is more like $11,000.22:36
th1aAnyhow, no he isn't paying us.22:36
replaceafill:(22:37
replaceafillwell22:37
th1alol22:37
th1aWell, it is an ongoing relationship.22:37
replaceafillsure22:37
replaceafillmaybe in the future ;)22:37
th1aBut no, we can't spend more than a couple days on it.22:37
th1aYeah.22:37
replaceafillgot it22:37
th1aIt certainly could lead to things.22:37
th1aHopefully laying out a little grid input is simple...22:38
replaceafillthat's the more complicated part indeed22:38
replaceafillwe'll see :)22:39
th1aOh, lol.22:41
th1aI'm looking at: http://www.webdesignfromscratch.com/html-css/datasheet/22:41
th1atbh, a simple table is fine.22:41
replaceafilli remember z3c.form had an example of it22:42
th1aOh, ok.22:42
replaceafilli'll see if i can find it22:42
th1aYeah, I was confusing myself by looking at way too powerful libraries.22:42
th1aOK.  I think I have to get back to writing docs...22:44
th1aI WILL HAVE SOME BY WEDNESDAY.22:44
replaceafill+122:44
