[07:57:19 CDT(-0500)] <huslage> hello humans
[09:14:48 CDT(-0500)] <jameswy> anastasiac: Where's the current UIO tech demo that you had?
[09:15:28 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> jameswy, the original test page is in the manual-tests folder: SomeKindOfNews.html
[09:15:46 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> my version of it with all UIOs in it is in my branch:
[09:15:48 CDT(-0500)] * anastasiac digs
[09:16:07 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> https://github.com/acheetham/infusion/tree/FLUID-4351-newUIOContextDemo
[09:16:20 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> in the demos/uiOptions/html folder
[09:19:34 CDT(-0500)] <jameswy> Thanks
[09:49:27 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> Hey anastasiac, I have a quick question
[09:49:52 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> colinclark, shoot
[09:50:29 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> I'm just updating all the demos, etc. to link to the new !important-injected themes
[09:50:54 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> I'm wondering why they all link to themes like rust, coal, slate, and mist?
[09:51:00 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> SomeKindOfNews, for example
[09:51:17 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> I see, in the dropdown, the ability to select from the four contrast themes
[09:51:23 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> ah, that would be a bug
[09:51:25 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> HC, HCI, and the two y/b
[09:51:30 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> Okay, so there's no reason for it anymore?
[09:51:42 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> no, not for rush, slate, coal, mist
[09:51:46 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> Okay
[09:51:54 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> These are the times when I miss fj4000
[09:51:55 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> the hc themes need to be there, obviously
[09:52:02 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> he could sing the Tidy Up song for us
[09:52:06 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac>
[09:52:12 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> anyone else here with kids want to sing us a Tidy Up song?
[09:52:37 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> jhung? ^
[09:52:59 CDT(-0500)] <jhung> lol
[09:53:15 CDT(-0500)] <jhung> I actually don't know the words. I start it and then mumble the rest.
[09:53:53 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark>
[10:02:36 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> Justin_o: I'm seeing some interesting UI Options behaviour when I run the Sakai demo...
[10:02:47 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> You can actually see UI Options' iFrame briefly, and then it folds up
[10:02:50 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> while the page is loading
[10:03:43 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> I see this also with SomeKindOfNews
[10:03:49 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> the panel is initially open
[10:03:51 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> but blank
[10:03:51 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> a
[10:03:55 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> and then folds up
[10:04:01 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> colinclark: do you see any of the panel options or just an empty iframe?
[10:04:10 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> Just an empty iFrame
[10:04:21 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> colinclark: this is a known issue..
[10:04:28 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> What's the fix?
[10:04:37 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> i'm not sure yet
[10:05:00 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> colinclark: this is because we are hiding the panel offscreen first to calculate the font and linespacing sizes
[10:05:21 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> If it's off screen, why would I see it, though?
[10:05:54 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> because the sliding panel has been initialized yet
[10:05:57 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> so it is just open
[10:06:01 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> to start
[10:06:13 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> then it closes on init
[10:07:12 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> So, I guess with the panelized version of UI Options, we're expecting integrators will potentially put UI Options into every page on their site?
[10:07:20 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> If that's the case, would you want every page on your site doing this?
[10:09:32 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> michelled: You mentioned the uPortal demo yesterday, among the ones that supports UI Options
[10:09:37 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> What should it actually do/
[10:09:38 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> ?
[10:11:59 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> colinclark: so I think cindyli was able to remove the offscreen hiding bit, so we might be able to switch back the instantiantion order to remove the stuttering
[10:12:17 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> That would make sense, if it's possible
[10:12:22 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> previously though the option was either to have what you see now, or to have the content of the panel flicker
[10:12:33 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> Well, again...
[10:12:37 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> if you were a page author
[10:12:52 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> would either of those be acceptable enough to actually want to put UI Options into every page on your site?
[10:16:32 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> I'm not sure what's changed now that would let the size calculations work.. if it will work when switching the initializations back, but before it had to be visible somehow to make those calculations in Firefox.. this was decided to be the best solution at the time
[10:19:17 CDT(-0500)] <mlam> cindyli: I've pushed the FullNoPreview UIO integration tests up to my FLUID-4324 branch. I'm nto sure if you wanted to merge my branch into your's so that it's in the pull request?
[10:20:09 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> sure, mlam, one sec, let me grant u the push access to my github
[10:20:19 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> Does anyone know what the uPortal demo is supposed to do?
[10:20:54 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> mlam: granted
[10:21:10 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> I'm guessing, based on the head, that it's designed to enhance the page without embedding an instance of UIO in it
[10:21:12 CDT(-0500)] <mlam> ok, thanks cindyli
[10:21:20 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> maybe?
[10:21:23 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> There are also these buttons...
[10:21:28 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> colinclark: it has a layout reorderer, nested image reorderer, simple inline edit, and a ui enhancer
[10:21:30 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> Customize My Portal
[10:21:39 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> thank YOU, mlam
[10:21:45 CDT(-0500)] <athena> colinclark: i think once upon a time it had a ui options interface that let you change the text and such
[10:21:45 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> Are these supposed to work, somehow? The Customize My Portal buttons
[10:21:59 CDT(-0500)] <athena> most of those probably wouldn't, unless you added all our js
[10:22:11 CDT(-0500)] <athena> i think maybe it had ui options and demo'd page reordering?
[10:22:18 CDT(-0500)] <athena> er, layout reordering
[10:22:33 CDT(-0500)] <athena> dunno if you guys want updated HTML for that page at some point
[10:22:47 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> it's pretty crusty, isn't it athena?
[10:22:56 CDT(-0500)] <athena> yeah that's a pretty old version of uportal
[10:23:00 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> I'm on the verge of git rm'ing it before we update it
[10:23:12 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> We might as well just link to all the real-world usage of Infusion you have in the real thing
[10:23:13 CDT(-0500)] <athena> probably not a bad idea
