I am trying to sell it to people :) 03:16:38 or you could say, "it's *so* good, even i can't afford it, but i might be able to get you a deal" 03:16:54 heh 03:16:59 ETP has bugs. 03:17:13 If you create a folder, then a subfolder of that and stick ETP int it, it seems to break... 03:17:19 investigating. 03:17:29 it won't let you _then_ add a subtopic 03:18:35 i haven't got a chance to investigate ETP much yet. i'm working on getting bboard to behave 03:18:47 great! 03:18:49 wait for ETP 2 03:19:07 will do - i read lukes doc and everyones comments and they seemed to make sense 03:19:12 I might be able to have some workflow stuff in it next week. 03:19:18 awesome! 03:19:32 note to all - davb is now the workflow guy 03:19:36 except I am worried that every screen adds 2 or 3 rows in a workflow table. 03:19:49 that for basic UI stuff is useless. 03:19:50 :) 03:20:24 so workflow might not be a super replacement for widget-view widget-edit widget-edit-2 kind of stuff. 03:20:30 hmmm.. yeah, i'm not too good at determining when things like that will start affecting performance 03:20:37 me neither. 03:20:44 I know 512MB ram sure helps alot! 03:20:50 haha 03:21:21 it takes minutes to startup OACS 4 with 256, but with the extra ram it restarts in less than 30 secs 03:21:33 (running X in the too that is) 03:22:12 throw a couple more netscapes into the mix 03:22:27 yeah, that always improves performance :) 03:23:13 oops :) [07/Mar/2002:22:18:35][12062.1925126][-conn282-] Error: Ns_PgExec: result statu\ 03:23:13 s: 7 message: ERROR: -20000: This folder does not allow subfolders to be creat\ 03:23:13 ed 03:23:59 markd2 has quit ("Bork") 03:24:51 oops. the new etp is grabbing another packages content... 03:26:21 its not setting the parameters in cr_folders correctly. 03:27:39 hmmm, that didn't help 03:29:48 ah new error at least :) 03:30:06 thank god for small miracles :-) 03:30:42 actually I was wrong. it still says I am not allowed to create subfolders. 03:30:51 d'oh 03:31:12 I think it is because I mounted etp in a sub-subfolder. the fodler above is empty. 03:31:30 it is not a cr_folder, just a site_map node. 03:32:00 and I did this on the live site instead of the test server. that'll teach me! 03:34:06 :-) 03:34:33 * vinod is hoping to learn from davb's mistakes 03:34:39 but i probably won't 03:34:46 hmmm. I have TWO packages now. packge_name and package_name_Edit_This_Page 03:35:11 weird. 03:35:22 you mean in the APM? or installed on the site map 03:36:15 APM 03:36:17 argh 03:36:22 all the folders are there.... :) 03:36:22 wow - that is weird 03:36:30 in site-map anyway 03:37:00 its too late. now Ihave about 8 extra etp instances I don't need :( 03:37:13 ugly 03:37:45 and never mind about the double packages, I added those :) 03:38:24 the cloud of mystery thins a bit :-) 03:38:37 * davb tries unmounting and deleting the packages... 03:38:55 it seems to be not working... 03:39:26 i'm always scared to start that prcess because drop_scripts suck 03:39:52 this is worse. deleting a apackage_instance. there is really no code to actually do this. 03:40:04 if a pcakge has not data, it should work though. 03:40:05 ahhh 03:40:22 I think I will have to do it from psql. 03:45:58 something is making my delete pl/pgsql procs take way too long. 03:48:04 the delete function may actually have been workiing, just really slowly. 03:49:25 ok, anyone who is awake, what music are you listening to? I am listening to Classic Jazz Corner by dr. horner from Live365.com 03:50:06 i'm watching the news 03:50:13 ah, sure :) 03:50:48 ok, ok... i'm waiting for the simpsons to come on 03:51:01 heh 03:52:00 * vinod is loading his fixed bboard package in oracle 03:52:11 It is almost a full time job just to keep up with MS security patches at work for 40 PCs. 03:52:16 wow oracle! 03:52:53 lemme tell ya - oracle is sloooow on a machine with 192 mb 03:53:10 yes. it is slow on a machine with 320mb too :) 03:53:30 woohoo - datamodel loaded. i don't think i've ever made changes without at least 1 typo 03:53:37 I haven't installed on this new one though. 03:53:44 hopefully the drop script works :) 03:54:35 heh 04:01:55 OK I deleted all the content_items and cr_folders 04:02:50 did the drop script work? 04:03:08 hmm. posts to the aD bboardl 04:03:12 I didn;t try it. I am trying to jus get rid of the bogus instances I mounted. 04:03:12 bboards even 04:03:40 and Michael Yoon replied. What's up there? 04:03:57 apm_package__delete fails if a package owns any acs_objects in the system, but does not try to delete them. this is were on delete cascade does the work for you (if it was used :) 04:04:10 rbm: wow! 04:04:24 davb: right 04:05:31 doing it manually actually worked. although there were few revisions. 04:05:45 actually content_item__delete does work to delete the revisions for you at least. 04:06:05 but wow the functions are running really slow. 04:06:15 davb: so what's ETP good for anyways? Since you seem to be on top of the game there. 04:06:32 rbm: everything :) 04:06:44 davb: A little more detail please? 04:06:58 I looked at it a while ago and it was great. 04:07:11 actually it is good for site-provided content. I haven;t looked at accepting visitor submissions like news etc... 04:07:35 So it's a way for different people to submit and organize content right? 04:07:37 You can specify a content_type and assign templates to it. very nice. 04:07:57 sure. if you set the permissions you could have different sections for different people or groups. 04:08:32 How about building other applications/packages on top of it? What would be some things that would make sense to build on ETP? 04:08:36 the next version looks like it iwll be even easier to use. 04:08:56 rbm: I am going to build a classified ad system, job posting, etc.... 04:09:06 but for that I need the user-submitted stuff :) 04:09:15 davb: Oh. I'd be interested in the classified ads system. 04:09:23 Sure :) I will share. 04:09:40 I'm thinking of building an inventory tracking system with it. 04:09:41 actually I will probably solicit feedback on a design. 04:09:58 would it need to synch with another database or something? 04:10:20 Possibly. I think I'll have to have something where clients will synch with it. 04:10:32 It might be able to do that. if I can do it, ETP should be able to do it. 04:10:39 Which I don't know how I'll do yet 04:11:13 because you will be able to assign workflows to the ETP types. and the stages at the workflow can fire pl/pgsql procs that "do stuff" 04:11:40 davb: ?? What are you referring to? You lost me there. 04:11:43 you can provide templates to acs_workflow so that it manages the page flow between the different application states. 04:12:19 rbm; etp itself has no provisions to keep track of stuff like the status of an inventory. I can imagine there is a process of some sort that it goes through. 04:12:37 so workflow could be added to make sure all the steps were taken etc.. 04:12:39 davb: Don't I have to have the datamodel for my application? 04:12:46 rbm; Yes :) 04:12:57 I should stop asking dumb questions and just RTFM 04:13:09 workflow just handles the transitions between steps. 04:13:23 I guess I'm not familiar with workflow either. 04:13:38 Debian's Postgres update scripts are nice. 04:13:41 I am probably not explaining it well. I just started to understand it myself this afternoon. 04:13:50 darn. I was using source. 04:14:15 I could not get OpenFTS to work without the source because I needed to compile intarray from the contrib directory. 04:14:46 davb: Just install the Debian contrib package 04:14:59 ah, duh. I'll try that! 04:15:04 (PostgreSQL contrib package that is) 04:15:32 davb: apt-cache show postgresql-contrib 04:15:53 intarray - RD-tree data structure using GiST index 04:16:05 exactly :) 04:16:52 I will have to upgrade my database myself, but that sounds cool. 04:17:28 I seem to have expunged the errant package instances. :) 04:18:29 ok. thanks! good night. 04:20:38 'nite 04:23:02 davb has quit ("Client Exiting") 04:27:25 argh 04:27:51 you can't have bind variables that are reserved words in oracle 04:28:26 so ...

19:54:27 it has been said that jim is jim  (just ask apt!) 19:54:32 markd2? 19:56:54 markd2 is a dork 19:57:01 alltel are a bunch of wankers 19:57:20 hi all 19:57:31 i've got a coding question for ya 19:57:38 "can't be done" 19:57:43 that's what rolf said 19:57:46 that'll be $200 19:57:52 :-) 19:58:02 this sounds simple 19:58:08 but... i don't think i can do it. 19:58:13 ok, get this. 19:58:25 there is a web site with a form 19:58:32 i fill out info on the form, and hit submit 19:58:46 how can I see all the parameters that I just passed back to their server? 19:58:49 (including the hidden ones) 19:59:02 save the source of the form, edit the action to point to your server 19:59:06 and have a script on your server spew what it gets 19:59:10 whoa 20:00:31 that'll be $200 :-) 20:07:57 hehe 20:08:00 hmm. interesting. 20:08:21 how can you spit out everthing that was passed back in php 20:08:44 it looks like there were lots of hidden variables 20:08:51 i guess i can print them out one at a time 20:09:01 docwolf, i'll tell you that for $100 20:09:09 (this page looks like it was designed to prevent automated inputs) 20:10:30 for $200 i'll crawl into your server and watch the bits and give you a real time play by play 20:16:45 so talli how was the play? 20:23:16 docwolf - I have a different solution. 20:24:55 wait, no, dumb idea. 20:25:15 yeah. how was the "play"? 20:27:00 ;) 20:45:54 Hi... 20:46:42 how did aD do the cvs thing when it came to clients? I know they would usually have a staging site and the live site, they'd be under cvs... but how was that done? 20:48:15 I also know that at aD itself, they'd do a vendor branch... what is a vendor branch? would both the live and staging sites be in that branch? 20:49:18 to tell the truth, different client projects did things differently 20:49:30 depending on the mood of who was leading the project 20:49:50 ok 20:50:01 one the one acs 4 project that I worked on, we had our own CVS repository, and applied changes to the core by hand 20:50:06 ack! 20:50:10 but since those were few and far between, it wasn't tough 20:50:14 ah. 20:50:31 by -hand-?? 20:50:43 you mean you went into the comma files and edited them? 20:50:48 it is all explained here: http://www.arsdigita.com/asj/version-control/ 20:50:51 oh not, not that bad 20:51:07 like seeing what was different, and then merging in the diffs, then checking them in 20:51:16 I haven't actually got it to work, but that is my lack of understanding of CVS :) 20:51:53 ok, I'll read that right now 21:25:48 davb has quit () 21:27:10 denshi has quit (Remote closed the connection) 21:55:04 markd2 has quit ("Bork") 22:17:10 denshi (~chatzilla@adsl-216-62-223-193.dsl.rcsntx.swbell.net) has joined #openacs 22:26:46 davb (dave@alb-24-58-162-46.nycap.rr.com) has joined #openacs 22:29:26 davb! 22:49:52 denshi has quit () 23:05:32 hi denshi, bye denshi 23:26:56 markd2 (~Snak@r-41.70.alltel.net) has joined #openacs 23:35:14 markd2: hi, some questions about the cvs/acs thing... 23:35:14 talli has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)) 23:35:22 if you have time :) 23:35:23 hiya 23:35:27 sure 23:35:32 I'm gonna be bopping in and out making dinner 23:36:33 ok, have you ever been on a project where they used the multiple-branch model? 23:36:54 (branch per release, I guess) 23:36:55 like development happens somewhere, then there's a labeled branch for like staging? 23:37:32 or that a branch is made for a 'release', bug-fix work happens on the branch, and then a new release is branched off? 23:37:34 right, and would same branch as for staging be pulled for production? 23:38:00 I'm thinking of client sites, not acs releases 23:38:05 ok 23:38:08 yeah, "kinda" 23:38:26 on One Big aD customer, we had a staging branch, and the staging tree pointed to that 23:38:28 did that arrangement work pretty well? 23:38:34 we were going to do it for production, but never got around to it 23:38:46 it worked OK. they're not doing it that way any more 23:39:10 since they moved to a different machine and re-organized their site 23:39:19 so you were planning to branch production off of staging, merging either way sometimes? 23:39:28 yeah 23:39:37 it was mainly a one-direction propagation of stuff 23:39:46 so that a stray 'cvs update' wouldn't wipe out the tree 23:39:52 but ended up just having staging branches? 23:40:03 yeah 23:40:22 staging was pointed to xyz-staging, then to push to staging was a cvs tag -f staging file-name.tcl 23:40:25 (or something like that) 23:40:42 ok, so you merged bugfixes back into the trunk by creating and applying diffs? 23:40:54 rarely 23:41:03 but yeah 23:41:19 for the most part for this project, the bugs were found and fixed before any more 'dev' work happened 23:41:35 so it made sense to 'develop develop develop, release to stage, fix fix, release to prod; move on' 23:41:37 that would seem to be a statement of non-commitment to the toolkit as presented to the open community... 23:41:45 (on the part of aD) 23:41:52 heh 23:42:07 probably 23:42:21 toolkit enhancements at the time were usually emailed or SDM'd to the appropriate party 23:42:25 who usually ignored them 23:42:49 and this project was acs 2, and then subsumed parts of acs 3 23:43:03 so long time ago... 23:43:03 so much of the work we did on that project didn't apply to the product as a whole 23:43:42 lost in the mists of time 23:43:47 nee nee nee noo nee nee nee noo 23:43:48 so most of it was customizations that applied to the specific dlient and site? 23:43:52 yes 23:44:05 I was pretty much tied to that project for a great majority of my aD career 23:44:14 so I can't speak too intellegently of the company as a whole 23:45:38 ok... what about 2-branch and no-branch models? 23:46:14 and why would aD decide to use the less complex forms of version control? 23:46:15 right now they're (the client I've been talking about) using a no-branch model 23:46:33 which works for them, since they're not CVS studs 23:46:38 so they just use tags? 23:46:42 generally the folks who used the less complex forms were the ones who didn't know cvs inside and out 23:46:47 not even tags 23:46:58 when a version is ready for staging or production, they cvs update it 23:47:26 the projects that were on the bleeding edge, using toolkits as they were developed (or were being supported internally), they used the more complex systems 23:47:35 especially if they had Ron helping them 23:47:48 by the time I got around to using a toolkit, it was usually not supported 23:49:26 meaning that you were mostly extending older, more proven toolkits, and using those as bases for client work? 23:49:54 (or maybe just "older" :)
