00:18.55TimRikerkathryngz, start here and install xampp http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html
00:19.14TimRikerthat should get you apache,php,mysql,phpmyadmin
00:19.19kathryngzThanks! But I've got to make translation my first priority now.
00:19.29TimRikerI'm not sure what it asks for users etc.
00:19.33kathryngzOkay.
00:20.00kathryngzI'll review it after I get the translation source text prepared and ask you if I have questions.
00:20.09TimRikeryes, this is not as much of a priority, but it might help you to create the translations tables and populate them. useful if it helps. :)
00:20.16TimRikersounds great.
00:20.30kathryngzActually, the table is completely in place... with all the current translations.
00:20.43kathryngzIt's been really nice to work with... I can see all the translations side by side.
00:21.34TimRikernice! are we using it yet?
00:21.53kathryngzNo, that's why I sent you that email about the inexplicable error.
00:21.56TimRikeror are you maintaining both at the moment?
00:22.02kathryngzI haven't had time to dig any deeper.
00:22.04TimRikerare you still getting the error?
00:22.06kathryngzYes, maintaining both.
00:22.10kathryngzAs of last night.
00:22.20TimRikertry again when you get a minute
00:22.23kathryngzBut I type 100+ wpm, so maintaining both is simple. I just cut & paste.
00:22.25kathryngzWill do.
00:22.39kathryngzNot that I want to do that long term!!!!
00:22.44TimRiker:)
00:22.49kathryngzBut it just adds about 2 seconds to any change I make.
00:22.58kathryngzBTW, did you have a chance to look at my resume?
00:23.06kathryngzI know you've had so much free time!!!<g>
00:24.38TimRikernot yet. :( still in my inbox queue
00:24.48kathryngzBSIR has to come first.
00:25.09kathryngzAnyway, I've already applied for some jobs and used that resume.
00:25.10TimRikerhmm. how are we going to migrate sql table contents? we don't have a create/update sql command for that table.
00:25.29TimRikerI don't have any of the contents locally for example.
00:25.50kathryngzI don't know... good question.
00:26.03TimRikerI had not thought of that earlier.
00:26.21kathryngzNor I. Any ideas?
00:34.42TimRikerdunno. I could write you a php export script, then we could just leave those dbs on that server for editing purposes and keep using the php versions from svn. thoughts?
00:35.27TimRikerwould have to dump the php files from some form which you'd download if you don't have xampp etc installed.
00:35.57TimRikerhmm. no unit number in the storehouse table?
00:37.00kathryngzWell, I just went to look, and every time I click on the storehouse table it shoots me back to the login screen.
00:37.56kathryngzOkay, I'm in. That was weird.
00:38.12kathryngzBut you're right! No unit number in the storehouse table. It probably needs one.
00:41.00TimRikeryes, it does. I was also logged into phpmyadmin from here. likely the reverse proxy does not like that much, we both show up as coming from the same IP.
00:41.16kathryngzAha.
00:41.39TimRikerI updated the area unit numbers
00:41.53kathryngzMeaning they are real unit numbers now?
00:42.07TimRikerues. not the id, but the unit number
00:42.14TimRikers/ues/yes/
00:42.15kathryngzRight.
00:42.21kathryngzknew what you meant <g>
00:42.50kathryngzWell, I'm going to grab dinner and get back to work. I have a lot to do tonight to get the source files in shape to send to Hiroko.
01:40.12kathryngzTimRiker, the BSIR login screen will likely not be replaced by the LDS Account login screen by the time training starts Monday, correct?
02:30.56TimRikerkathryngz, did the tabset change. checking that in
02:31.14kathryngzmoving it out of common.php?
02:31.23TimRikerdon't know. I'm setup to do that locally on my box, I won't get it in till it's all working.
02:31.42TimRikerno, just scripting in there based on what's passed into generateHeader().
02:31.53kathryngz?
02:32.07kathryngzWhat changes to the tabset, then?
02:32.19kathryngzI just remember you were planning to move them out of common.php
02:32.35TimRikerupdate and take a look. :)
02:32.55kathryngzIs it ready now, or do I need to wait until 7:35?
02:33.12TimRikergenerateHeader(array('purchasing','products','storehouses','leaders','admin','reports'));    and so forth. it's ready now.
02:33.28kathryngzk, hold on...
02:34.25kathryngzWell, there are some errors that look like they have nothing to do with the tabs, but the tabs look fine! At least in the Area Office module.
02:34.33kathryngzProblem with languages on the storehouse page, though.
02:34.39kathryngzAnd preferred name in the banner.
02:37.10TimRikerwhere?
02:38.27kathryngzNotice: Undefined index: preferred_name in /srv/www/htdocs/bsir/web/includes/Common.php on line 202
02:38.39kathryngzShows up for me in the AO module, regardless of which tab I'm on.
02:40.24TimRikerwho are you logged in as?
02:41.41TimRikertry logging out and back in.
02:41.58TimRikeryou might have old session information
02:42.15kathryngzme.
02:42.29TimRikeryeah, log out and back into bsir
02:42.52kathryngzAh, just did, and it's working.
02:43.23kathryngzbrb
02:55.24TimRikertake a look at the lookup_people form. it's different than the mockup
02:55.46kathryngzWhere?
02:55.55kathryngzIs it still its own page, or has it been integrated?
03:08.14TimRikerit's on page... https://tech.lds.org/bsir/lookup_people
03:09.32kathryngzLooks beautiful!
03:09.53kathryngzThe only suggestion I would have is that the secondary dropdowns should change based on the role chosen.
03:10.07kathryngzFor example, AO & HQ folks wouldn't ever be assigned to a storehouse.
03:10.12kathryngzHQ folks would not be assigned to an area.
03:10.16kathryngzThat kind of thing.
03:10.41kathryngzOnly Storehouse Coord & Storehouse Vol would be assigned to a storehouse.
03:12.58TimRikeryeah, could use some javascript there to limit storehouses, etc. but yes, the roles above you would not show, and area won't show for storehouse admin.
03:13.22kathryngzCool!
03:13.31kathryngzNice work!
03:13.49TimRikerin fact, area would show for hq role. storehouse for area role, and nothing for storehouse role, right? should show the active area/storehouse as non-editable I suppose.
03:14.28TimRikernote: I added page links to the footer when in debug just to make it easy to bounce around.
03:14.32kathryngzEach role can assign any role below them.
03:14.57TimRikerright. but an area person cannot assign to other areas, etc. yes?
03:14.58kathryngzOnly one who can't assign a role is sh volunteer.
03:15.05kathryngzCorrect.
03:15.20TimRikerk. they are just mocked in right now. working on this next.
03:15.22kathryngzThey can assign only to their own area and to storehouses within their area.
03:15.31kathryngzLooks great!
03:15.45TimRiker:)
03:15.46kathryngzI just got the translation dictionary formatted in my word processor.
03:15.53kathryngzDo you want to be copied on this translation stuff?
03:17.15TimRikernah
03:17.20kathryngzOkay.
03:17.30kathryngzJust noise for you...
03:17.47TimRiker:)
04:49.35TimRikerI put the test form inline now. not quite there, but it's worth looking at.

17:03.15kathryngzHey!
17:03.18TimRikerdid you look at the now-integrated user lookup?
17:03.24kathryngzSorry I didn't respond last night, I was on the phone with Simon.
17:03.26kathryngz1.5 hours.
17:03.34kathryngzI need to check in with him and see how he's doing.
17:03.35TimRikeradds are not yet coded, but everything needed for the add should be passed on.
17:03.59TimRikernp. it's passive here. respond when you can. :)
17:04.14kathryngzCool. By the way, the little field next to the lookup was visible just for my testing. You can hide it or even get rid of it if it's not necessary with the new lookup.
17:04.47kathryngzLet me take a look...

17:07.18kathryngzHey, looks good!
17:07.32kathryngzBig milestone :)
17:07.46kathryngzWay to go!
17:09.27kathryngzQuestion: how do you get more than one user to show up in the list? I tried adding two, and the second replaced the first.
17:09.31kathryngzOr is that premature to ask?

18:16.16TimRikerthe actual add is not happening yet. all the variables get passed in, but I've not done the add. it just clears the add portion of the form on refresh.
18:16.16TimRikerstill not looking up unitnames as the api is blocked for us stil..
18:16.16TimRikerworking on that too.
18:16.16TimRikerthe frameset is redrawn by the script, so I can put whatever I want in the set. This is not javascript, this is php.
18:16.34TimRikerthe php code is fairly readable. useful reading. I'll add more comments before I'm done.

22:35.45TimRikerare you on phpmyadmin? it's kicking me off again
22:35.58kathryngzYes, do you need me to get out?
22:36.07kathryngzI can do what I need to do later.
22:36.11kathryngzOr is there a way around that?
22:36.26TimRikerI guess I can do mine later too. I'll read some docs and see if I see why it's kicking us.
22:36.29kathryngzI just closed my browser.
22:36.32kathryngzGo for it.
22:36.33kathryngz:)
22:36.45kathryngzCould you let me know when you're done?
22:36.50TimRikerI'm putting real storehouses in.
22:36.56kathryngzFantastic!!
22:37.06kathryngzIt's exciting to see this all come together.
22:46.49kathryngzsmootar, rofl. That was TOO funny!
23:05.56TimRikerI got distracted setting up the production machine... https://bsir.lds.org/ should be up soon.
23:06.22kathryngzcool!
23:35.43TimRikerhmm... context issues.
23:35.54TimRikerhow do you feel about https://lds.org/bsir/ ?
23:35.55kathryngzmore joy!
23:36.03kathryngzI am completely fine with that.
23:36.17kathryngzIn fact, if it saves you time I feel so good about it I could weep for joy.
23:36.20kathryngz;)
23:36.23TimRikerthey are asking for https://bsir.lds.org/bsir/ which just seems silly to me.
23:36.42kathryngzYes, that is silly.
23:36.49kathryngzDepartment of Redundancy Department.
23:36.54TimRikerexactly!
23:37.37kathryngzI like subdomains (I just think they're cool :) ) But the url will have no impact on the functionality of the program :)
23:51.06TimRikeragreed. if it's quicker to get single signon and public access through production services, I'm good with it. :)
23:51.36kathryngzLet's do it :)
23:52.27TimRikerI added area numbers. they need to get displayed someplace.
23:52.44kathryngzDo they?
23:52.51TimRikermight be nice to show the current facility number at the top of the screen.
23:53.04kathryngzThat might be a 2.0 enhancement, though :)
23:53.24kathryngzThe name would probably be enough for now... do you think?
23:53.31TimRikerI think some of the leadership works with the numbers a lot. I need them just to look up leadership etc. that's the real reason I'm adding them.
23:53.58kathryngzBehind the scenes, definitely. And if you know that leadership uses them a lot, we should provide them.
23:54.03kathryngzWould it be worth asking Miguel?
23:54.09kathryngzTo see if he would find them useful?
23:54.16TimRikerdunno. if they are adding areas, storehouses, etc they should be adding with valid numbers so I can look them up in MLU.
23:54.24kathryngzI'm just getting a bit concerned about having everything ready for training by Monday.
23:54.25TimRikeryes, that would be useful.
23:54.52TimRikeragain, they need to be there. they don't need to be visible if we can discover them on add. but they need to be there for leader lookup.
23:55.00kathryngzMight it be better to allow them to search by name and just use the numbers in the background for that?
23:55.25TimRikersearching by name is often a mess. "south america south" brings up all kinds of things.
23:55.33kathryngzAh, that's a good point.
23:55.41kathryngzCan we present them with a list of numbers & names?
23:55.52kathryngzE.g., in one dropdown, "South America South - 1234"
23:55.56TimRikersome, like mayol only have a couple units.
23:56.04TimRikeryes, but how did I get that dropdown?
23:56.13TimRikerwhat was the search?
23:56.20kathryngzAll possibilities with the area?
23:56.31kathryngzUgh, but that doesn't work at HQ, does it.
23:56.37kathryngzAll possibilities in the WORLD :)
23:56.45kathryngzOr can we restrict it geographically?
23:56.46TimRikerif I have unit numbers, I can get child units. ie: show all the stakes in the area. show all the wards in a stake, etc.
23:56.58kathryngzMaybe that's the solution, then.
23:57.10kathryngzWould the user easily have access to the unit number?
23:57.18TimRikerbut the area/storehouse relationship is not direct. there's a bunch of links in between.
23:57.24kathryngzYes.
23:57.28kathryngzNot simple, is it.
23:58.03TimRikerideally what I'm after is a useful bishop search by a volunteer. can't seem to get that as they bishops have no connection to the bishop's storehouse.
23:58.12TimRikerI know, ironic, huh?
23:58.33kathryngzGo figure!!
23:58.40TimRiker=/
23:59.11TimRikerI can give you all the bishops in the south america south area. that's not very useful though.
23:59.30kathryngzLOL!
23:59.37kathryngzHow many, a couple thousand?
23:59.57TimRikerlooks like I'll have to get that hole list and then do a name match through the whole thing. ugh.
