[09:04:59 EST(-0500)] <athena7> i have some questions about the fluid reorderer - specifically, whether it's possible to add new drop targets to the reorderer once it's been created

[09:12:35 EST(-0500)] <athena7> morning anastasiac
[09:12:46 EST(-0500)] <athena7> i just had a comment that i don't know if you'd have insight on
[09:12:52 EST(-0500)] <athena7> "i have some questions about the fluid reorderer - specifically, whether it's possible to add new drop targets to the reorderer once it's been created"
[09:13:20 EST(-0500)] <anastasiac> athena7, good morning
[09:13:23 EST(-0500)] <anastasiac> that's a good question
[09:13:27 EST(-0500)] <athena7> morning!
[09:13:39 EST(-0500)] <anastasiac> I'd have to double-check the code, but I believe that right now, it's not possible
[09:13:43 EST(-0500)] <athena7> ok
[09:13:53 EST(-0500)] <anastasiac> but a lot of refactoring was done that I'm not completely familiar with
[09:14:00 EST(-0500)] <anastasiac> so I could be wrong (smile)
[09:14:06 EST(-0500)] <anastasiac> I'll have a look, and let you know
[09:14:08 EST(-0500)] <athena7> in uPortal 3.0, when users add columns we add them to the list of droppable box-type-things
[09:14:25 EST(-0500)] <athena7> if it's not possible, i can edit the code to force a page refresh when the user increments the column count
[09:14:26 EST(-0500)] <athena7> thanks!
[09:14:43 EST(-0500)] <athena7> i was also wondering if it was likely to cause problems when columns or portlets are removed
[09:15:19 EST(-0500)] <athena7> it seems to "work" right now, but i don't know enough about the fluid code to know if us pulling a portlet or column out of the dom is likely to cause problems somewhere down the line
[09:15:57 EST(-0500)] <athena7> similarly, when the user decreases the number of columns, we attempt to stick all the portlets in the right-most column at the bottom of the last remaining column
[09:16:13 EST(-0500)] <athena7> i'm guessing the reorderer probably doesn't magically know when we do things like that
[09:16:47 EST(-0500)] <athena7> so i'd just like to get a sense for how much is possible right now, and whether we need to force some page refreshes as a temporary or long-term stopgap
[09:17:29 EST(-0500)] <athena7> on another note, it sounds like 0.6 beta is out? should we be trying that out in the up3 codebase?
[09:20:27 EST(-0500)] <anastasiac> athena7, 0.6 beta is out, 0.6 final will be out mid december
[09:20:37 EST(-0500)] <athena7> awesome (smile)
[09:20:56 EST(-0500)] <anastasiac> the reorderer likely won't chance much between now and 0.6 final, but you'd be fine to wait
[09:21:03 EST(-0500)] <athena7> since up3 won't be out before mid-december, maybe it would be a good idea for us to try out the new code?
[09:21:13 EST(-0500)] <anastasiac> good idea
[09:21:21 EST(-0500)] <athena7> i'll try and get that done then
[09:21:22 EST(-0500)] <anastasiac> if you find issues, you can let us know (wink)
[09:21:25 EST(-0500)] <athena7> yes (smile)
[09:21:44 EST(-0500)] <anastasiac> if adding targets is desirable, and not implemented, we could file a feature request
[09:21:50 EST(-0500)] <athena7> so i'm guessing you're planning to stay with jquery 1.5.1 for the 0.6 release?
[09:21:50 EST(-0500)] <anastasiac> might get in, I can't say for sure
[09:22:00 EST(-0500)] <athena7> very desirable from a uportal perspective
[09:22:02 EST(-0500)] <anastasiac> at this point, we have no plans to upgrade yet
[09:22:03 EST(-0500)] <anastasiac> we
[09:22:14 EST(-0500)] <anastasiac> we've got lots of other new work on our plate for 0.6
[09:22:43 EST(-0500)] <athena7> but i totally understand if that feature isn't something you can get to
[09:22:44 EST(-0500)] <athena7> ok
[09:22:55 EST(-0500)] <athena7> well that gives us a good idea of what to target for our stuff at least (smile)
[09:23:08 EST(-0500)] <athena7> at this point i think upgrading the css is more of a pain than anything else
[09:23:08 EST(-0500)] <anastasiac> I'll be talking to Antranig (who did the refactoring) tomorrow in Berkeley - we can let you know then more about what's possible, what's feasible, etc
[09:23:18 EST(-0500)] <athena7> oh that would be excellent, thanks!
[09:23:21 EST(-0500)] <athena7> tell him i say hello
[09:23:25 EST(-0500)] <anastasiac> will do
[09:23:26 EST(-0500)] <athena7> yay berkeley
[09:25:15 EST(-0500)] <anastasiac> yay warmer weather!
[09:25:21 EST(-0500)] <athena7> yeah it got cold
[09:25:34 EST(-0500)] <athena7> really only in the last couple days here
[09:25:44 EST(-0500)] <anastasiac> they're forecasting 5-10cm of snow for Toronto by tomorrow (sad)
[09:27:13 EST(-0500)] <athena7> eeek
[09:30:55 EST(-0500)] <athena7> by the way, did the conflict between fluid and jquery ever get resolved? i think it was the selectables import?
[09:31:13 EST(-0500)] <anastasiac> that patch hasn't been released yet
[09:31:20 EST(-0500)] <anastasiac> I think it will make it into 0.6 final
[09:35:54 EST(-0500)] <athena7> awesome (smile)
[09:36:03 EST(-0500)] <athena7> for the time being we just left that import out of the portal
[09:36:20 EST(-0500)] <athena7> but it's good to know it might be fixed for anyone that actually does need that file for portlets or whatever
[09:36:25 EST(-0500)] <athena7> sounds like you guys have been busy
