darynnuclear_eclipse around?00:41
dhx_mdaryn: hi :)00:42
darynhello00:42
darynfilters are almost done00:42
daryn:)00:42
dhx_mwhat is changing this time? :)00:43
daryneverything00:43
dhx_mI haven't been following discussions here for ~2 weeks00:43
darynactually there haven't been many discussions00:43
darynmostly quiet00:43
dhx_mso it's a rewrite?00:43
darynya00:43
darynclasses00:44
dhx_mnice :)00:44
daryneach field has it's own class00:44
dhx_mohhhh yes :)00:44
dhx_mthat is something I really wanted to see happen00:44
darynfilter api is gone00:44
dhx_mso built-in fields use the same classes as custom fields?00:44
darynmmm...sort of yeah00:44
daryni guess so00:44
dhx_mdo field classes extend each other?00:45
darynyes00:45
dhx_mand I guess plugins could extend a field class to create new types?00:45
darynyep00:45
dhx_mis custom_field_api redone?00:45
dhx_m*hopes so... it sucked :p*00:46
darynno, that's later00:46
darynbut i do have ideas for it00:46
darynthese field classes are strictly filter right now00:47
dhx_mso the plan isn't for the Bug class to contain a number of Field subclasses just yet?00:48
dhx_mI guess that would require a rewrite of the entire app00:48
darynno00:48
darynright. just trying to get filters done00:48
darynwas unbelievable really00:49
darynso ridiculously complex and redundant00:49
dhx_m168kb00:52
darynfilter api?00:52
dhx_mthe old one, yeah00:52
daryn0 now :)00:52
dhx_mwhere did it all go? :p00:52
darynof course it's spread over multiple files now00:52
dhx_myep00:53
darynMantisBugFilter, and then field classes00:53
dhx_mlet me know if you push it to mantisforge :)00:53
dhx_m(if mforge is even working :p)00:53
darynyeah, i keep telling john just another couple of days...heh00:53
darynbut it really is almost there now00:53
darynplus jquery datepicker's00:54
dhx_mwhat is the fallback?00:54
darynjust textbox00:55
darynremoved the stupid Filter by date checkbox00:55
dhx_myep00:55
dhx_mthe "Sort by" fields are currently stupid too00:56
darynoh you'll love my fixes for that00:57
darynwell...maybe00:57
dhx_m:)00:57
darynactually...i just made them work and removed the limit of two00:57
dhx_mnice00:57
daryndid you have a thought for sort ui?00:58
dhx_mI sort of like the Mantis approach because it's so simple and fast to use00:58
dhx_mbut I guess the most commonly used UI for filtering is one where you click a button to add a new filter to the list00:59
dhx_mso in effect you're chaining conditions together00:59
dhx_mafaik Redmine does that00:59
dhx_mTrac too00:59
dhx_mbut I imagine they all rely upon Javascript00:59
darynyeah, the filters rely on javascript alot anyway01:00
daryni mean, they'll work without but it's really ugly01:00
dhx_myep01:01
daryni'm going to commit with the current layout initially but i've separated the logic and template and i'm working on a couple of possibilities for nicer layout01:01
daryncustomizable too01:01
daryninclude only the fields you want, etc.01:02
dhx_myep01:03
dhx_mI was looking into WebSockets recently as a replacement to AJAX01:03
darynyeah?01:03
darynjquery ajax is so easy though...01:03
dhx_myep I think we should stick with jQuery as much as possible01:04
dhx_malthough WebSockets is different AFAIK because it allows push notifications01:04
darynall the filter stuff is moved over to jquery01:04
darynworking on collapse too01:04
darynmainly because it affects filters01:05
darynand is fairly esy01:05
daryneasy01:05
dhx_mactually now I think about it, WebSockets push notifications aren't going to be very useful :)01:06
daryni don't know anything about it01:06
dhx_mand it's hard to create a usable UI when things are changing/being inserted on the screen in real time01:07
darynyeah that could be annoying01:07
daryndepends though01:07
dhx_mwell I think the idea is that if you're using gmail and you're viewing your inbox, new emails are inserted at the top of the list as they arrive01:07
darynright, that would  maybe be nice for bugs as long as they fit the current filter01:07
dhx_mbasically people are reinventing the wheel and trying to create native desktop apps within the browser :p01:08
darynyeah, cuz desktops are going away heh01:08
dhx_mperhaps... but if you were just about to click on an issue in the list and suddenly another one appeared, dropping them all down the screen... so your click misses the mark... ugh01:08
darynya01:08
dhx_mI just find sites relying upon JS very hard to use from a usability standpoint01:14
dhx_mI guess using jQuery fixes many of those issues01:14
darynyeah, it's all in the design. javascript should enhance only01:15

nuclear_eclipsenp15:25
minimoonuclear_eclipse: CMS: drupal, joomla, any others?15:28
nuclear_eclipsethere are lots of them15:37
minimoogood ones :P15:37
nuclear_eclipseWordpress is technically a CMS as well, just focused around a blog15:37
nuclear_eclipseif you're not set on PHP, there are a few good ones in Python and such15:37
minimooi'm after good atm15:38
nuclear_eclipsebut tbh, I wouldn't really consider many of them to be "good" :P15:38
minimooso dont care what15:38
minimooit's probably php15:38
minimoobut15:38
minimoosomeone wants something for hockey club15:38
minimooI suggest drupal15:38
minimoo+ed15:38

minimoo(as joomla seemed complicated to use)15:38
nuclear_eclipsedrupal is probably the best starting place for anything small15:38
minimooiirc drupal was easy to use?15:38
nuclear_eclipsemore or less15:38
nuclear_eclipsemy biggest complaint with Drupal was that it was very resource intensive, and had a bit too much inherent complexity in the database and system design15:39
nuclear_eclipseeg, the "everything is a node" paradigm is a bit frustrating at times15:40
nuclear_eclipsethe database quickly becomes a huge bottleneck with drupal installs15:41
nuclear_eclipseenough so that I migrated *back* to wordpress after about 6-8 months on drupal15:42
nuclear_eclipsebut I've ditched wordpress these days too15:42
nuclear_eclipsenow I just use a static site generator15:42
nuclear_eclipsethe only "dynamic" parts of my site are mantis and mail tools15:43
minimoommmmmmm15:44
minimoojoomla ?15:44
nuclear_eclipseI agree with you on Joomla, i couldnt ever get past the inital setup phase without getting completely lost and have a big headache15:44
minimooI'd like to suggest something for work person to use for hockey club15:46
minimoothat's easy to use15:46
nuclear_eclipsewell, a real CMS is inherently "not easy" :P15:47
nuclear_eclipsethe question is really what do they want from it? a forum?15:47
nuclear_eclipseor just an info board?15:47
nuclear_eclipseit might be best to just give them something like wordpress or phpbb3 and leave it at that15:48
minimoodoes debian not havbe build essentials15:48
minimoomore a website15:48
nuclear_eclipseor even something like MediaWiki might be a good solution15:49
nuclear_eclipseif they just want a website that's easy to update, point them at http://weebly.com15:49
minimoomm15:49
minimoothey've got hosting from a member15:50
minimooand static pages atm15:50
minimoobut want to allow otheres in club to be able to edit basically15:50
nuclear_eclipseso, mediawikisounds like a good solution15:50
nuclear_eclipsejust make the wiki require special access to edit pages15:50
nuclear_eclipseand turn off user registration15:51
nuclear_eclipseand/or15:51
minimoocan you theme it though?15:51
nuclear_eclipseyeah, there should be a decent amount of free themes available, or at least a starting point for someone to customize the skin15:53
nuclear_eclipsewordpress is probably also a decent solution, just configure it to not use the blog portion15:54
nuclear_eclipsethat's what I used for my portfolio site15:54
nuclear_eclipseif you're set on needing a full CMS though, I've also heard e107 as an alternative15:55
minimoosomeone suggetsed typo315:56
nuclear_eclipseyeah, that was my next suggestion15:56
minimooare either of those fairly 'modern' aka any ajax stuff15:56
nuclear_eclipsebut that runs on ruby, so I have no clue how easy it would be to set up or deploy15:57
nuclear_eclipseno clue regarding ajax, but imo that shouldn't really matter15:57
minimooruby is typo3 or e106?15:57
nuclear_eclipsetypo is ruby, e107 is php15:58
minimoohttp://www.php-fusion.co.uk/news.php16:01
minimooheard of that?16:01
nuclear_eclipseheard of it, never used it16:02
nuclear_eclipseit's a fork of phpnuke iirc, and I never liked that one16:02
* minimoo might just try http://ez.no/download16:10
nuclear_eclipseI still think Weebly would be exactly what they need/want for the site -- if they want multiple editors, then just share a login?16:16
minimoothey have a box for it16:17
minimooor well16:17
minimoosomeone hosts site for them16:17
nuclear_eclipsewell, I'm thinking more the interface on weebly is extremely simplified for those who don't understand anything about web development or cms design16:18
nuclear_eclipseI set up my father's site to use weebly, and he likes it a lot because he doesn't have to use some crappy TinyMCE-like editor, or worry about dealing with images and such, like when I tried setting him up with Wordpress or other similar apps16:19
