[01:20:31]<Jonathon>What is the correct way to update part of a form when a selection is made within that form (using Drupal 6)? Is it a matter of writing JS/Ajax or is there something "prebuilt" to do this?

[04:05:26]<Michelle>Hi :)
[04:05:34]<mrking>hello
[04:05:34]<Druplicon>que tal
[04:06:51]* orican has joined #drupal-dojo
[04:11:18]* jbrauer_ has joined #drupal-dojo
[04:11:34]<mrking>hey, am getting on the tutorial on drupal
[04:11:49]<mrking>yea, am a noob, just started
[04:11:51]<mrking>:)
[04:12:17]<mrking>lotsa stuff to look into to have a better understanding
[04:12:55]<Michelle>Oh, yeah, lots to learn :)
[04:13:20]<mrking>ok, let me finish the video and get back here for some clarification
[04:19:52]* Thomas_Zahreddin has quit ("Leaving.")
[04:23:10]<mrking>Michelle, so when we create a theme, how does it applies to the admin area
[04:23:37]<Michelle>Erm... I don't understand the question
[04:24:31]<mrking>because what i have been seeing is how to create the layout for the user end
[04:24:53]<mrking>what about the admin area
[04:25:10]<Michelle>It's the same theme unless you choose an admin theme
[04:25:17]<Michelle>Drupal doesn't have a "backend"
[04:25:30]* jbrauer has quit (Connection timed out)
[04:26:30]<mrking>i think im getting you, so when we need to edit certain contain, the admin can just click on the edit button found somewhere in the content area ?
[04:27:20]<Michelle>Right
[04:27:50]<Michelle>If you have access, all nodes (posts) have an edit tab on them
[04:28:30]<mrking>oh yea, thats call node
[04:28:36]<mrking>gr8, let's se
[04:28:37]<mrking>*see
[04:29:53]<mrking>ok, so on the template variables, i guess this is telling the template to output diff content on diff area
[04:30:52]<mrking>depending on where i insert the variables in the template
[04:30:54]<mrking>?
[04:32:32]<Michelle>Well, you have different template files for different things...
[04:34:02]* sumit_k is now known as sumit_k|away
[04:35:21]<mrking>oh yes, for blocks,node etc
[04:36:10]<mrking>and the variables is initialise from the core and modules and "pass" to the template to output the end result
[04:36:13]<mrking>?
[04:39:11]<Michelle>http://drupal.org/node/171188 might help you
[04:39:15]<Druplicon>http://drupal.org/node/171188 => Theming overview => 3 IRC mentions
[04:39:27]<Michelle>Honestly, I'm not up for an in depth discussion of the theme system just before bed :)
[04:41:46]<mrking>hax, my bad
[04:41:59]<mrking>thanks anyway ;)
[04:42:00]<Michelle>It's ok. I'm just too sleepy to really grok your questions
[04:42:05]<Michelle>Not to mention I'm not a themer
[04:42:47]<mrking>yea, im also looking at writing modules, but i think working with theme is a good way to start with drupal
[04:43:31]<mrking>thanks druplicon
[04:43:43]<Michelle>Druplicon is a bot
[04:44:11]<mrking>lol

[19:06:06]* agentrickard_ curses at his ISP
[19:06:45]<agentrickard_>ok, so we set aside two hours to answer general questions about the Knight Drupal Initative
[19:07:13]<agentrickard_>I don't see Jose Z yet. but fire away if you have questions. There is no set agenda
[19:08:19]<Michelle>Well, I guess I'll ask... stephthegeek seems to think I should apply for advforum. But I've looked at the apps so far and they're doing way more exciting things than adding features to the forum. Do you think it has a chance in hell? :)
[19:09:31]<agentrickard_>i don't quite know. Improving Drupal core has a chance.
[19:09:40]<agentrickard_>But is not the highest priority.
[19:09:58]<agentrickard_>For Knight. But if we say that it should be; they would listen.
[19:10:15]<Michelle>Well, this is contrib right now. Improving core forum is on the to do list but not sure where that's going just yet
[19:10:30]<bmadore>Hey Ken, how does this initiative mesh with the News Challenge? Should news-centric projects wait or try both?
[19:11:19]<agentrickard_>News-centric might wait. KDI is "community" centric.
[19:11:33]<agentrickard_>Community can but does not necssarily mean "news"
[19:11:54]<agentrickard_>Michelle: my answer would be that it won't hurt to ask.
[19:11:56]<Michelle>What about all this stuff we've got planned for profiles? Is that related? That's communityish
[19:11:59]<agentrickard_>especially in the beginning

[19:12:37]<Michelle>That would be a hard one to apply for, though... It's become bigger than me with allt he stuff sdboyer is doing and the whole mysite question
[19:13:02]<friendlyprimate>As I understand it, install profiles have an important role to play to lower the barrier to entry
[19:13:06]* sdboyer spies agentrickard_!
[19:13:14]<Michelle>This whole KDI thing is tantalizing but not sure where I fit
[19:13:15]* agentrickard_ hey sam
[19:13:19]<Michelle>friendlyprimate - Wrong profiles :)
[19:13:24]<sdboyer>hiya ken
[19:13:26]<agentrickard_>true
[19:13:36]<agentrickard_>but install profiles are very interesting to Knight
[19:13:37]<friendlyprimate>ahh
[19:13:43]<agentrickard_>so not wrong
[19:13:53]<friendlyprimate>only contextually :)
[19:14:03]<Michelle>sdboyer - What do you think about trying to apply for something for the whole profiles bit?
[19:14:19]<Michelle>We'd have to nail down a plan of who's doing what
[19:14:21]<agentrickard_>well, from a "user profile" standpoint, we could consider asking for funding for improvements, since someone has to write those
[19:14:23]<sdboyer>oh right, the KDI discussion is now, totally forgot
[19:14:32]* agentrickard_ snickers
[19:14:44]<yhager>I'm having a similar feeling as Michelle, I don't have a good understanding whether my idea(s) about applying fit the KDI or not..
[19:14:54]* sdboyer pulls out his list of items for KDI :)
[19:15:07]<agentrickard_>yhager: what have you got?
[19:15:18]<sdboyer>yes, Michelle, if it's the kind of thing that Knight would be interested in, then i'd be all for hammering out some concrete plans
[19:15:21]<agentrickard_>the requirements are pretty loose, deliberately
[19:15:30]<merlinofchaos>I thought about applying for a grant to ressurect assignblame, but I'm not sure it's a good idea to ask for media money for a website whose main purpose is to mock the media.
[19:15:35]<Michelle>sdboyer - I think that has more chance than advforum
[19:15:40]<Michelle>merlinofchaos - LOL
[19:15:41]<bmadore>The app page http://groups.drupal.org/node/10461 says "When a proposal has a high level of support" has not been permanently defined. Any initial thoughts on when a proposal will hit that mark?

[19:16:09]<agentrickard_>bmadore: that's my best shot there
[19:16:12]<yhager>agentrickard: I have wrote a module that simplifies image uploading to nodes (imagefield_crop) and would like to extend that to support more image manipulation techniques..
[19:16:14]<Michelle>My other worry with advforum is that I'd get it done before the app process was over. LOL
[19:16:29]<agentrickard_>yhager: definitely
[19:16:40]<agentrickard_>if others are on board with your approach
[19:16:52]<agentrickard_>let's back up for a second and take Merlin's example
[19:16:59]<sdboyer>agentrickard_: one quick thing - wanted to make sure that you saw the note i sent around to the dev list last night/this morning; it's going to be one of the more pertinent aspects when it comes to doing the big mysite/panels/profiles/user* fun integration
[19:17:03]<agentrickard_>THis is not totally unrealistic
[19:17:15]<agentrickard_>sdboyer: not yet
[19:17:31]<sdboyer>no worries, it's really more of a reference document, just wanted to make sure it's on your radar
[19:17:40]* bmadore has left #drupal-dojo ()
[19:17:48]* bmadore has joined #drupal-dojo
[19:17:54]<yhager>agentrickard_: sure, that will have to be coordinated with the community (e.g. groups.drupal.org/image)
[19:17:54]<agentrickard_>If Merlin is going to build "assignblame" as a model site and insall profile for community-based media watchdog efforts, that is totally cool.
[19:18:11]<agentrickard_>yhager: and that's your bigest challenge
[19:18:16]<merlinofchaos>agentrickard: It's why Views, Nodequeue and Panels got built. =)
[19:18:26]<agentrickard_>you know, there was talk of a media summit in Portland
[19:18:33]<yhager>agentrickard_: right. I'll try to walk between the drops and not get wet.. :)
[19:18:39]<agentrickard_>perhaps we should ask for funding for something like that. A code sprint
[19:18:52]* agentrickard has quit (Read error: 113 (No route to host))
[19:18:59]<friendlyprimate>RE the media summit -- part of our proposal could help tie in with that
[19:19:34]<merlinofchaos>agentrickard_: See, now that makes it tempting.
[19:19:41]<agentrickard_>merlinofchaos: right. And if you spin the project as a toolset for others, then KDI is very interested. Gary and his team very much like the idea of installable apps that solve specific needs.
[19:19:48]<friendlyprimate>we have already started looking at ways of standardizing media handling, and, as luck would have it, are already in Portland
[19:19:53]<agentrickard_>merlinofchaos: the summit idea?

[19:21:00]<gusaus>interesting - the los angeles group is also considering a media code sprint
[19:21:33]<agentrickard>so that sounds like a proposal right there -- funding for a 3-day code summit and then a project lead to improve image handling
[19:21:54]* ghankstef has joined #drupal-dojo
[19:22:39]<agentrickard>I think it is important, that when you read the KDI requirements, note that half of them are the Drupal mission statement.
[19:22:50]<agentrickard>Use that as your primary guide and let Knight handle the other part.
[19:23:09]<agentrickard>But think "replicable" and "easy"
[19:23:35]<agentrickard>both of the first two proposals are of that nature
[19:23:44]<yhager>friendlyprimate: What kind of media handling standatization do you mean?
[19:24:23]<friendlyprimate>our proposal is at http://groups.drupal.org/node/11585

[19:24:35]<sdboyer>agentrickard: ok, so, proposal #1 that i've been kicking around: i'd like to write a module that fully facilitates consensus-based decisionmaking - it'd be able to use og's logic, or any other logic for defining participants. there's a loooong discussion in i lay out how it'd work (and consensus as a formal process gets pretty well covered, if you're not familiar with it) here: which https://support.mayfirst.org/ticket/

[19:24:56]<friendlyprimate>we have been looking at media handling on both the publishing and aggregating end

[19:25:16]<friendlyprimate>ways of simplifying media handling for content creators
[19:25:16]<sdboyer>dunno if community decisionmaking models are the type of thing that're on Knight's radar

[19:25:41]<friendlyprimate>and ways of simplifying media publishing on the aggregation side

[19:25:58]<sdboyer>that's what i think all day long :)
[19:26:08]<zstolar>agentrickard: I got one more of the "would it be a good idea to apply" questions.
[19:26:15]<sdboyer>well, when i'm not coding - yeah, i'm an organizer, and that's exactly what it'd be used for
