[08:46:47 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> colinclark, michelled: I'm wondering about the way we are providing rhino for our build <cindyli> lahabana: the container of scrubber is " .container", the whole controller container? <cindyli> " .events.onTemplateReady": " .events.onReady.fire" <cindyli> " .events.onTemplateReady": " .events.onReady" <cindyli> lahabana: i mean like this line - " .events.onTemplateReady": " .refreshView" <cindyli> so, the part i'm not sure is if this line would work - " .events.onTemplateReady": " .events.onReady.fire" <lahabana> i've just replaced the odd line by : "" .events.onTemplateReady": " .ready"" <cindyli> it means that fire " .events.onTemplateReady" when " .ready"" is fired <cindyli> controller's createOnEvent is .onTemplateReady <cindyli> events:
[08:47:13 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> So i started thinking about this a bit yesterday when i was setting it up on my machine..
[08:47:37 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> what if someone wants to use our build system, but is using rhino for something else on their machien
[08:47:39 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> machine
[08:47:42 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> with any
[08:47:43 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> any
[08:47:44 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> ant
[08:47:59 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> since we are making them remove it, and then calling our own in the build script
[08:48:55 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> I think this is a good time to talk about it, since it seems that I have to fix ant on our daily build server
[08:49:12 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> and I'm not sure if this will in turn break our current instance of the builder
[08:57:36 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> I'm not sure there is really a good way to handle this, Justin_o
[08:58:08 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> Other than to say that Java sort of sucks for these kinds of problems without jumping through some serious classloading hoops
[08:58:39 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> You're right that, to use the Infusion build, we're asking people to disable the version of Rhino that ships with Ant, which they may already be using for other builds
[08:58:50 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> The alternative would be to have them manually upgrade that version of Ant
[08:58:54 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> which might be better
[08:59:10 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> but, given the issues between 1.6 and 1.7 of Rhino, might also cause some other problems
[08:59:23 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> Did you have a particular proposal in mind, as an alternative?
[08:59:36 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> I guess, whatever we do, we'll have to manually make sure Ant is the way it should be
[08:59:38 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> colinclark: not yet.. wanted to talk about the options first
[08:59:47 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> I'm trying to think of other options
[08:59:49 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> any suggestions?
[09:00:21 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> colinclark: is there no way to tell ant to use the version of rhino we ship instead of the one in the lib directory.. without having to remove that one
[09:00:43 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> It's quite unlikely
[09:00:55 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> Ant will automatically load the jars in its lib folder
[09:01:25 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> since those are the jars it considers necessary to satisfy its own dependencies
[09:02:10 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> Meaning, by the time we're in the land of Antish XML, everything in lib has been loaded
[09:02:14 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> I guess I should triple check that
[09:02:25 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> colinclark: okay.. thanks
[09:02:25 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> but it's sensible, anyway
[09:02:45 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> I guess we should explore the other option
[09:03:01 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> Do we just want to blast the Ant-installed version of Rhino and replace it with 1.7R3
[09:03:14 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> ?
[09:03:20 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> I guess the reverse is toxic...
[09:03:37 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> in other words, Rhino 1.6 will actively cause some valid JS code to break
[09:03:45 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> whereas we probably don't know of anything where the reverse is the case
[09:03:48 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> Do you think that's correct?
[09:03:58 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> colinclark: seems so, yes
[09:04:10 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> So, do you think it's preferable to do the latter?
[09:04:25 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> colinclark: what would the latter be... telling people to upgrade?
[09:04:49 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> Yeah, having them replace the Ant-installed Rhino 1.6 with a downloaded copy of 1.7R3
[09:05:03 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> colinclark: i think i'd lean to this option
[09:05:48 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> What's your rationale, Justin_o?
[09:05:55 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> (I think you're probably right, for the record 
)
[09:07:25 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> Ah, we may have one other alternative, Justin_o...
[09:07:37 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> If I read the "Library Directories" section here correctly http://ant.apache.org/manual/running.html
[09:07:46 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> ANT_HOME/lib is actually scanned last
[09:08:06 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> which means we can position our Rhino to be victorious without overriding the one that ships with Ant
[09:08:11 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> not that it makes any difference
[09:08:14 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> because it will still be global
[09:11:45 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> Okay, so this works, if it's preferable to you
[09:12:01 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> We could ask users to install the various Rhino-related dependencies into ~/.ant/lib
[09:12:09 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> and our versions will be loaded first
[09:12:16 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> the question then becomes, how do they get these jars?
[09:12:44 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> Do we just give them URLs to download Rhino 1.7R3, the BSF, and Commons logging?
[09:17:00 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> colinclark: sorry.. was off working with harriswong for a minute.. just catching up
[09:20:25 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> colinclark: so i guess we could do that.. it wouldn't be too much different than what we had been asking people to do
[09:20:35 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> although it's a bit more work
[09:25:37 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> What do you think we should do, Justin_o?
[09:26:58 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> colinclark: I'd go with your last suggestion i think.. it would probably be the least likely to cause breakage for a users other builds
[09:27:19 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> Okay, so I guess the second question..
[09:27:29 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> How should the user get the requisite jars?
[09:27:36 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> Keep them in the distro and ask them to move 'em around
[09:27:44 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> or ask them to go download them
[09:27:51 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> or write some Mavenism?
[09:28:12 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> colinclark: i figure since this is likely a do once operation that I'd rather not carry them around in the distribution
[09:29:15 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> colinclark: I suppose Mavenism would be the nicest solution, but i'm not sure it's worth the effort if we're aiming to switch off of ant/maven
[09:29:36 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> Yeah, I'm pretty reticent to write more Maven
[09:29:52 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> I think, with our war distro deprecated, that we're on the cusp of just tossing it entirely
[09:29:59 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> so adding a new dependency wouldnt be super wise
[09:30:41 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> I'm going to hop on the subway but we can make a final call when I'm back in the channel
[09:30:48 CDT(-0500)] <colinclark> or you can make an executive decision
[10:05:39 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> hey huslage , jessm have we set up a mailing list for the IDI (to be linked on website) ?
[10:06:10 CDT(-0500)] <mlam> Justin_o: do we have a 1.4 test plan page yet?
[10:08:23 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> mlam: you mean a testing task list?
[10:08:29 CDT(-0500)] <mlam> yah
[10:08:40 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> i still have to make one
[10:08:43 CDT(-0500)] <jessm> heidi_: we have an idi-work but nothing specific for IDI other than that
[10:09:00 CDT(-0500)] <mlam> oh ok. i'm ready for testing now
[10:09:30 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> huslage: speaking of idi-work.. i think i might have fallen off the list some how.. i haven't gotten any e-mails from there in a while, and I know that I missed a bunch that were going around
[10:10:30 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> jessm the IDI mailing list for the site will be different than idi-work ?
[10:10:39 CDT(-0500)] <jessm> heidi_: not sure just now
[10:10:48 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> k
[10:12:33 CDT(-0500)] <Justin_o> mlam: i'll try to fill that out now
[10:20:44 CDT(-0500)] <mlam> ok, cool thanks Justin_o
[10:28:48 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> gonna miss stand up - dry wall delivery happening. i'm working on finishing up the theming for the IDI wordpress site so next week we can focus on getting the content in / starting to get the wiki styled
[11:04:30 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> hey, heidi_, is your drywall all unloaded yet?
[11:04:43 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> anastasiac yep!
[11:04:49 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> yay!
[11:05:17 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> heidi_, maybe you can help me: I'm trying to use the Myriad Pro font, and my machine doesn't seem to have it. Is that normal? Have you ever used that font?
[11:06:02 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> anastasiac i believe the handbook site and the inclusivedesign.ca site both use it
[11:06:31 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> i was looking at both yesterday to see if they were doing that font file thing, but didn't notice anything special
[11:07:15 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> interesting, heidi_... on my machine, inclusivedesign.ca reverts to one of the other specified fonts
[11:07:24 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> ah
[11:08:20 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> heidi_, does your computer have that font already? are you on a mac?
[11:09:14 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> anastasiac it works for me so maybe? i am on a mac. looking at the css more closely...
[11:09:33 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> i thought i remembered adding font files. jameswy do you remember how we did that?
[11:09:50 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> heidi_, I tested it by using Firebug to modify the font face style to replace all of the "fallback" styles with monospace - and the page turned to monospace
[11:11:30 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> anastasiac yeah that makes sense. i wonder why i have myriad and you don't... hmm
[11:11:55 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> odd...
[11:12:54 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> anastasiac i thought jameswy and i did a site where we did something like this: http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/fdc-varia/font-embedding.htm
[11:13:06 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> can't recall tho... maybe we didn't end up doing that
[11:13:15 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> but sounds like maybe we should add the font file for myriad
[11:13:19 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> for these sites
[11:13:58 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> heidi_, I'm using that technique for some other fonts jameswy has given me, but I was expecting Myriad Pro to be included. I'll check with jameswy
[11:14:13 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> k
[11:21:15 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> anastasiac: hi I need your opinion on something have you got a few secs?
[11:21:27 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> lahabana, sure
[11:21:52 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> thx I have a scrubber in my controller to change the time of a video
[11:22:13 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> this is slightly more complicated than the other elements so I created a subcomponent
[11:22:35 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> however I'm hesitating on how I should do it
[11:23:20 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> I mean should I create the element in the main component and then turn it into a jquery slider in the subComponent
[11:24:02 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> or keep the main container (for the controller and create it inside)
[11:24:18 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> anastasiac: I'm not sure I'm really comprehensible....
[11:25:45 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> lahabana, I'm not quite sure what you mean by "create the element", but... it sounds like your controller is actually a collection of controls (e.g. play, pause), one of which is the scrubber. If so, then the scrubber would be a subcomponent of the controller, and be within the controller container.
[11:25:58 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> does that make any sense? am I understanding your question correctly, lahabana?
[11:26:18 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> hmm yes partly
[11:27:08 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> my question is more where should I create the "<div>" (for eg) in the component or the subcomponent
[11:28:00 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> here's my code if that can help
[11:28:02 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> https://github.com/lahabana/videoPlayer/blob/FLUID-4297/js/VideoPlayer_controllers.js#L1-183
[11:28:13 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> ah, ok, hm... Well, if it's the scrubber itself that has particular markup, the scrubber itself should create it. Imagine if you some day wanted to replace your scrubber subcomponent with a completely different subcomponent - you want it to be "self-contained"
[11:28:20 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> (even if it doesn't work ftm)
[11:28:51 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> anastasiac: ho yes that's true
[11:29:43 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> so I have another question then how will I control where to put the scrubber in the html of the controller
[11:29:55 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> I mean for the rest I've got a template
[11:30:32 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> in the markup for the controller, you just put a single element (such as an empty div) that will be the container where the scrubber is inserted - conceptually, it's a marker saying "Insert Scrubber Here"
[11:31:11 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> does that make sense, lahabana?
[11:31:37 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> hmm yes I think with as a class the selector for the scrubber?
[11:31:49 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> right
[11:32:27 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> anastasiac: ok thx other question about a thing that happened to me several times and never understood why
[11:33:03 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> when using the renderer sometimes 2 elements that are simblings become parent and child...
[11:33:05 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> why that?
[11:33:24 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> I guess I did something wrong but I never understood what was wrong
[11:33:39 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> lahabana: hm. I don't know. What kind of elements does this happen with?
[11:33:58 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> div mainly
[11:34:17 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> for eg I had playButton and then captionButton
[11:34:24 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> hm
[11:34:36 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> sounds like there might be something slightly off in your component tree? I don't know
[11:34:39 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> and after rendered it was captionButton who became child of playButton
[11:34:43 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> odd
[11:34:56 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> I have to go right now, lahabana, but I can have a look later today or tomorrow
[11:35:01 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> anastasiac: ok doesn't matter I solved the problem by accident
[11:35:13 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> oh, good
[11:35:15 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> anastasiac: ok see you later
[11:35:18 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> bye
[11:35:23 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> and thx for your help
[11:35:27 CDT(-0500)] <anastasiac> np
[12:01:58 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> cindyli: Hi can you help me a little bit with the renderer?
[12:02:12 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> sure, lahabana
[12:02:33 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> well It's still what I was talking with anastasiac earlier
[12:02:45 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> let me catch up
[12:02:57 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> I'll explain you briefly
[12:03:19 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> I've got a rendererComponent that makes some controllers
[12:03:29 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> and one of them is a scrubber (slider)
[12:03:46 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> this is not dealt by the renderer but by a subComponent
[12:04:12 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> my problem is that the scrubber is well created etc
[12:04:47 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> but when I launch the video (and consequently make some modelChange and refreshView) my scrubber is just removed
[12:04:54 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> from the html mark up
[12:05:02 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> and I don't really understand why
[12:05:16 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> cause it's not part of my prototree
[12:05:28 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> https://github.com/lahabana/videoPlayer/blob/FLUID-4297/js/VideoPlayer_controllers.js#L20-183 here is the code if you want to have a look
[12:05:50 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> and my template https://github.com/lahabana/videoPlayer/blob/FLUID-4297/html/controller_template.html
[12:11:12 CDT(-0500)]
[12:11:25 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> well yes
[12:11:32 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> rather than a div insider controller?
[12:11:56 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> well a jqeury slider is already a div
[12:12:15 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> so I thought it was a bit useless to had another div to it
[12:12:17 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> no?
[12:12:21 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> no
[12:12:53 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> ok
[12:13:15 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> without its own div, the render of the slider div is unpredictable
[12:13:32 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> it could likely wipe out the whole container and replace with its own
[12:14:15 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> moreover, lahabana, "controllders" component is using a template but i don't see the call on fetchResources
[12:14:49 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> ur scrubber is created on "onReady" event of controller component
[12:14:49 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> it's done in a component before
[12:14:53 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> in videoPlayer.js
[12:14:57 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> ok
[12:15:17 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> the onReady event should be fired at the callback function of the fetchResources
[12:15:40 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> to ensure the template is fully loaded when scrubber gets rendered
[12:15:42 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> ok thx
[12:16:01 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> np
[12:30:34 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> cindyli: so I think my problem is a bit deeper cause I've done what you told me
[12:30:59 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> and now I don't know why but the scrubber component instantiates before the onReady event
[12:31:26 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> lahabana: aha, interesting
[12:31:31 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> so obviously it fails as the container doesn't exists yet
[12:31:56 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> createOnEvent of "scrubber" is still "onReady"?
[12:32:09 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> yes
[12:32:28 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> but I've linked the onReady event to the onTemplateLoaded
[12:32:52 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> why so?
[12:33:01 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> https://github.com/lahabana/videoPlayer/blob/FLUID-4297/js/VideoPlayer.js#L336-416
[12:33:33 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> so that the onready is fired only when the template are loaded
[12:33:59 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> maybe the error is line 359-360 of what I've just given you no?
[12:40:44 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> lahabana: line 360 might be wrong
[12:40:47 CDT(-0500)]
[12:40:57 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> .fire is redundant
[12:41:05 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> ??
[12:41:09 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> try this:
[12:41:09 CDT(-0500)]
[12:41:30 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> the idea was to have an event that fires another event no?
[12:41:41 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> one sec, i might be wrong
[12:46:58 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> lahabana: the way you bind events is a bit odd, this doc is helpful: http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/docs/Event+injection+and+boiling
[12:48:27 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> cindyli: what is odd about it?
[12:49:52 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> it's an eventBinder I link different events to different listeners from distant component no?
[12:52:33 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> the right side, which is the target to run when the event gets fired, is usually a function rather than an event
[12:52:57 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> ho yes
[12:53:04 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> you mean for the last line?
[12:53:19 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> that was a test
[12:53:45 CDT(-0500)]
[12:54:05 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> which is a correct statement
[12:54:10 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> refreshView is a function no?
[12:54:10 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> refreshView is a function rather than an event
[12:54:22 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> ok
[12:54:31 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> yes we agree then
[12:54:45 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> the line just after (360 I think) was a test
[12:54:54 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> ok
[12:55:14 CDT(-0500)]
[12:55:22 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> i never tried
[12:56:09 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> the way i'm sure would work is what's described in the doc i gave u earlier - http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/docs/Event+injection+and+boiling
[12:56:16 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> ok
[12:57:08 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> I think my whole problem is my template Loading
[12:57:30 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> is it logical to load them all outside the component that need them?
[13:02:22 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> cindyli: I've redone the event binding properly but I still have got the same issue my subcomponent begins instantiating before it receives the event
[13:03:30 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> lahabana: can i see u event binding
[13:03:39 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> cindyli: so I think I've found it
[13:03:41 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> yes of course
[13:04:17 CDT(-0500)]
[13:04:38 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> this doesn't look right
[13:04:41 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> and ready is a method that only fires the onReady for the controllers
[13:05:40 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> cindyli: I've removed the onReady of the parent component (videoPlyaer) and I haven't got any error
[13:06:01 CDT(-0500)]
[13:06:21 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> what u want is the other way around, right?
[13:07:33 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> ho probably
[13:09:05 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> are u sure? it listeners that I describe in my eventBinder
[13:18:47 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> lahabana: one suggestion is to make ur templateLoader a top level component, controller is its sub-component.
[13:19:05 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> scrubber can stay where it is now as a sub-component of the controller
[13:19:25 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> ok I see
[13:19:38 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> in templateLoader, u fetch all the templates and fire onTemplateReady in fetchResouces callback
[13:19:43 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> should I modify the templateLoader or the way I load is fine?
[13:19:55 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> it's fine
[13:21:08 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> ok
[13:21:46 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> ho and all my subcomponents that need a tempalte are instantiated by onTemplateReady
[13:21:59 CDT(-0500)]
[13:22:24 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> in controller, u also have event binding:
[13:22:50 CDT(-0500)]
[13:24:44 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> in the controllers.finalInit(), u want to fetch its template again, in the callback use that.container.append() to render the template's markup, the code is like:
[13:25:05 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> fluid.fetchResources(that.options.resources, function () {
[13:25:05 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> that.container.append(that.options.resources.template.resourceText);
[13:25:05 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> that.events.onControllerReady.fire(that);
[13:25:05 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> });
[13:25:21 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> note that at the end of the callback, u fire event "onControllerReady"
[13:25:34 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> scrubber should be created on this event - onControllerReady
[13:25:49 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> that's all
[13:26:50 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> cindyli: I see
[13:30:35 CDT(-0500)] <lahabana> cindyli: thx a lot for your help
[13:30:44 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> np. hope it helps
[15:01:13 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> jameswy there's a website somewhere that helps test a11y of colour schemes/contrast, right? do you know of anything like that?
[15:01:30 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> greggy1 maybe you know one? ^
[15:02:10 CDT(-0500)] <greggy1> I use Juicy Studios
[15:02:20 CDT(-0500)] <greggy1> heidi^
[15:02:37 CDT(-0500)] <greggy1> but there's a bunch of others
[15:02:53 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> greggy1 this is great, thanks
[15:10:04 CDT(-0500)] <jameswy> heidi_: snook is the one I use.
[15:10:34 CDT(-0500)] <jameswy> http://snook.ca/technical/colour_contrast/colour.html
[15:10:58 CDT(-0500)] <heidi_> jameswy great thanks, passing on to chi
[15:27:43 CDT(-0500)] <Bosmon> So yes, cindyli, it looks like there might need to be a 2nd stage of munging for FatPanel -
[15:27:47 CDT(-0500)] <Bosmon> Or at least a reorganised munging
[15:28:19 CDT(-0500)] <Bosmon> So, in the current design, all the configuration supplied to "FatPanelOtherWorldLoader" is taken from the option which was named "uiOptionsOptions" which is attached to the bridge
[15:29:00 CDT(-0500)] <Bosmon> It probably makes sense to have two stages of munging - firstly to munge the options in FatPanel top level so that everything which needs to go to the "other side" is assigned to some member in this place
[15:29:12 CDT(-0500)] <Bosmon> "as if" this was a case like a user supplying top-level options in a flat structure
[15:29:43 CDT(-0500)] <Bosmon> So in many cases it can just pass through top-level options to FatPanel to top-level options in "optionsRelay" which is probably a better name for "uiOptionsOptions" on line 208
[15:30:04 CDT(-0500)] <Bosmon> And then FatPanelOtherWorldLoader can do the 2nd stage of munging where the options are send out to all of the "component on the other side" once the other world stards up
[15:30:06 CDT(-0500)] <Bosmon> start up
[15:30:18 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> ic
[15:30:26 CDT(-0500)] <Bosmon> Does that make a kind of sense?
[15:30:34 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> yes
[15:31:09 CDT(-0500)] <Bosmon> Given FatPanel is so similar to the "inline" kind of wrapper, you could even use this method to share a lot of configuration
[15:31:17 CDT(-0500)] <Bosmon> Sorry
[15:31:18 CDT(-0500)] <Bosmon> I meant
[15:31:22 CDT(-0500)] <Bosmon> FatPanelOtherWorldLoader
[15:31:38 CDT(-0500)] <Bosmon> It seems possible that with this model, you could just derive FatPanelOtherWorldLoader from the standard "inline" grade you made already
[15:31:49 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> that makes sense
[15:32:24 CDT(-0500)] <Bosmon> cool beans
