13:14:52 yes. it is openacs 4. with added stuff. 13:15:09 so it comes in the form of packages? 13:15:15 not yet. 13:15:24 only cvs. 13:15:28 dotlrn.openforce.net 13:15:46 but there are several packages that you add to openacs 4. 13:15:56 can I put my openacs 4 stuff on a .lrn? 13:15:59 i didn;t read that question ocrrectly. 13:16:01 sure. 13:16:20 but i am more suggesting just looking at it for idea. 13:16:27 right now its oracle only. 13:16:36 unless they ported it since I looked. 13:17:13 so there are .xql and .oracle.xql but no .postgres.xql? 13:17:34 yes. except for new-portal, which will go into openacs 4 anyway. 13:17:42 (and similar in packages/*/sql) 13:19:14 how are you feeling about the package{, instance} delete thing, esp in light of things like .lrn and other things you may have been working on in the meantime? do you still feel similar about the form? 13:19:17 yes. 13:20:04 jim: i haven't thought about it too much, but it seems like the right way to do it. 13:20:28 people who are just fooling around with the system really need it. it is too painful to reload the datamodel all the time. 13:20:32 do you think it needs more gel time? 13:20:48 yes, strongly agreed, there 13:21:14 well, I think it would be good if we think about other ways the contract will be used. 13:21:44 I can't even think about how -this- contract will be used :) 13:22:49 err, how it will be used in the way we've been thinking about it :) 13:24:09 oh sheesh, that's right, I have a -printer- now ;) 13:25:03 barstool is now known as talli 13:27:01 maybe I should just write one, and see how it works, and we can go from there :) 13:28:12 http://e4graph.sourceforge.net/ 13:28:12 B: http://e4graph.sourceforge.net/ from davb 13:28:33 B:| e4graph 13:28:33 titled item B 13:28:44 B: persistent storage for graph like data, uses metakit 13:28:44 added comment B1 13:29:52 B: C++ library with a Tcl binding 13:29:52 added comment B2 13:30:02 B: this sounds cool, but I have no idea how I would use it 13:30:02 added comment B3 13:31:27 B:http://radio.weblogs.com/0100136/2002/05/01.html#a156 - Paul Snively is planning on Carbonizing it 13:31:28 added comment B4 13:32:56 yeah! my openacs email finally arrived! 13:34:41 Yay! 13:34:49 paje revive davb 13:34:50 * paje gives davb CPR 13:37:53 woo hoo! 13:38:25 clear! 13:38:30 paje, clear! 13:38:31 * paje applies defibrulator paddles to *phylax 13:39:28 paje, it's happening again 13:39:28 * paje strokes markd2's head and whispers gently to calm his manic episode 13:42:05 * markd2 feels much better 13:45:03 paje, attack 13:45:03 * paje bites marks ankle 13:45:43 we need variables and I just ruined a cup of good coffee with apparently sour milk 13:47:47 ick 13:51:12 yup 13:51:22 dumped the whole thing 13:52:23 the downside of food that you didn't pay for is that you have no clue how old it is 13:57:06 *phylax, you can have reflexive variables - $who is the person sending the message 13:57:19 I don't think the infobot supports arbitrary processing of stuff 13:57:27 it's written in perl if you want to write a mod :-) 13:59:27 paje, owl is hoo hoo $who $who 13:59:27 OK, jim. 13:59:30 owl 13:59:37 owl?

If you liked that one you'll love the following: I think I have a three way relationship I'm not sure how to express. 17:44:12 docwolf: have you seen this site? 17:44:15 http://www.oswd.org/ 17:44:15 C: http://www.oswd.org/ from vinod 17:44:26 C:| Open Source Web Design 17:44:26 titled item C 17:44:39 C: pick a design you like and steal it :-) 17:44:39 added comment C1 17:44:44 oh my 17:45:10 desropolis: the person to ask about that stuff is probably davb or rbm 17:45:19 vinod, you know about relationships in oacs? 17:45:35 vinod is the master of 3-way relationships 17:45:41 talli: i haven't used them yet 17:45:42 markd2 has left #openacs 17:45:43 why do you think he keeps all those blue pills on hand? 17:45:49 docwolf: sssssh! 17:45:56 markd2 (~markd2@h166-102-041-038.ip.alltel.net) has joined #openacs 17:46:04 Yea, I've seen those pictures 17:46:28 desropolis: seems that davb is out for now 17:46:53 OK, it can wait. 17:46:53 hey guys, help desropolis! he's a newbie doing some killer OACS work! 17:47:17 er. 17:47:29 desropolis: i assume you've seen the sparse docs at http://yoursite/doc/acs-content-repository/guide/object-relationships.html 17:48:21 rzolf has left #openacs 17:48:58 Yes. I've picked a primary relationship: 'rating'. It's between a user and an acs-object. 17:50:06 the thing is an object may be rated in any number of 'dimensions' 17:50:18 a dimension is also an object 17:50:48 One rating dimension may be 'interesting' another may be 'pretty' 17:51:16 You can rate a given acs-object on either dimension, or, of course, both. 17:51:30 so each dimension is a subtype of 'rating' 17:52:39 I hadn't thought of it that way. Right now it seems more to me to be an attribute of a rating 17:54:50 oh, ok. so a user could have multiple 'rating's, each with an attribute 'dimension' = 'type of rating' and attribute 'value'='4' 17:56:07 yeah: I give RED a 4 in the interesting dimension. I also give BLUE a 4 in the 'interesting' dimension 17:57:19 is the rating also an acs-object? 17:57:39 yup - it's an acs_rel 17:58:12 I was thinking the raiting would be one object, the thing being rated is another object, and there is a relationship between them. 17:58:21 * davb reads the docs again 17:59:14 i think desropolis is setting up a user as one obj, a thing being rated as another obj and the rating as the relation between em 17:59:40 vinod- right. That was my intuition. 18:00:01 ah. 18:00:03 I see. 18:00:05 the link i gave above was for the CR - more appropriate docs here: http://yoursite/doc/object-system-design.html#objects-design-relation-types 18:00:26 that makes sense. then you don't lose the information of who rated what. 18:01:13 rzolf (~rolf@badgertronics.com) has joined #openacs 18:01:13 Oh, that's very important for KM. You want to know what kind of user liked which things. 18:01:20 hey, is the ruby port done? 18:01:29 then the rating could have an extended table with 2 columns - 'dimension' and 'value'. Dimension would be the type of rating and 'value' the actual numerical rating 18:01:54 rzolf: markd2 is working on that. he says it's right after the FORTRAN port 18:02:01 rzolf: no but we moved the discussions of that project to #obnoxious on irc.lurkers.net 18:02:10 or OBJECT-GOATRAN 18:02:27 just let me know when it is finished up. 18:02:36 how long since the last mention of goats. has to be some kind of record 18:02:44 i wrote this sweet ruby->smalltalk converter in haskell. 18:02:49 which i'd like to try out. 18:03:12 That's the way I have it now. I'll just be manually inserting the dimension id into the rating table. 18:04:11 so, then you'll have a separate dimension table, which won't be an acs-object, right? 18:05:28 rzolf: are you going to add a curl interpreter to your converter. that would be cool 18:06:02 no because i don't have a curl indentation mode for VIM yet. 18:07:14 * vinod goes to get his laundry 18:09:31 that's the thing dimension IS an object! That's why I'm a bit put off. Don Baccus suggested granting Dimension objecthood. 18:10:04 I don't think it needs to be an object. 18:10:09 * davb rereads the bboard posts 18:16:03 It's OK with me. 18:16:25 Object, not-an-object. As long as I don't paint myself into a corner. 18:20:11 ok. 18:20:23 you need two different relationships. if you make them all objects. 18:20:36 Hmmm. 18:21:04 a rating relation ship between the thing and the rating object 18:21:13 yah. 18:21:17 and a dimension relationship between the rating and the dimension object. 18:22:24 Ok, so I can relate a user and an acs-object via a rating object which is a relationship... 18:22:48 and then relate that to a dimension object in another relationship. 18:22:55 wait. 18:23:19 the rating object is related to the object that is being rated by the relationship. 18:23:51 maybe not. 18:24:48 The rating object is a relationship between a 'rater' and a 'rated.' 18:24:58 The way I see it. 18:26:28 One attribute is the 'rating value.' The other is the 'rating dimension.' 18:28:05 Only the 'rating dimension' is an object itself. It has attributes: 'name,' 'max_rating,' 'min_rating,' 'description.' It, naturally, has an id. 18:29:41 hmmm - it seems to me that dimension and rating are so closely related to each other that we don't need to model it as an acs_rel, but simply as a foreign key from 1 to the other 18:29:49 right. 18:30:14 user and the rated object, on the other hand are not tightly bound, so we use acs_rel as a loose way of associating them 18:30:22 I agree with vinod. 18:30:45 have we explained it clearly? 18:30:56 Yes, I'm just digesting... 18:31:47 It sounds good to me. This way dimension can still be an object, though, right? 18:31:52 right 18:31:57 just not an acs-rel 18:32:07 instead a simple subclass of acs_object 18:32:39 Well. This solution appeals to me, in no small amount because that was the way I was leaning anyway! 18:32:52 It is excellent to have validaion, though. 18:33:13 I like it. I will probably be using the package. 18:36:21 deandesro (desropolis@dsl254-091-187.nyc1.dsl.speakeasy.net) has joined #openacs 18:36:21 desropolis has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)) 18:36:39 Whoa. 18:38:29 This is my first time using IRC, so bear with me.
