| MTecknology | mhall119: um- I was just looking at how you merged source into the branch - I might have a tip for you when you're online | 04:45 |
|---|---|---|
| mhall119 | MTecknology: I'm always open to tips | 12:56 |
| cjohnston | mhall119: you are disturbing me | 13:57 |
| mhall119 | cjohnston: I do what I can ;) | 14:08 |
| MTecknology | cjohnston: you are not distrurbing me | 15:05 |
| MTecknology | mhall119: so.. my suggestion is to do an actual merge rather that a pull/push - that's going to kill youi down the road | 15:07 |
| MTecknology | mhall119: I'm guessing what you did was bzr branch lp:~ubuntu-drupal-devs/ubuntu-website/xyz; cd xyz; bzr push lp:light-drupal-theme | 15:10 |
| MTecknology | What I would have done (for a new branch) | 15:10 |
| MTecknology | mkdir light-drupal-theme; cd light-drupal-theme; bzr init; bzr merge lp:~ubuntu-drupal-devs/ubuntu-website/xyz; bzr commit -m "blah"; bzr push light-drupal-theme | 15:11 |
| MTecknology | mhall119: then it's a single revision with all the changes you're signing off on | 15:12 |
| MTecknology | mhall119: for updating - bzr brach lp:light-drupal-theme; cd light-drupal-theme; bzr merge lp:~ubuntu-drupal-devs/ubuntu-website/xyz; bzr commit -m "foo"; bzr push lp:light-drupal-theme | 15:13 |
| mhall119 | MTecknology: the light-drupal-theme was already there, I did a branch of that, then pulled from yours,then pushed back | 15:19 |
| mhall119 | I guess I should have merged instead of pulling | 15:19 |
| mhall119 | I'm still learning the "proper" way of doing things in bzr | 15:19 |
| mhall119 | going between that and hg at work, sometimes I get confused | 15:20 |
| MTecknology | mhall119: i bet - I could walk you through it if you want | 15:25 |
| mhall119 | no need, I understand what you're saying | 15:25 |
| mhall119 | and thanks | 15:25 |
| MTecknology | mhall119: hope i helped some | 15:25 |
| mhall119 | absolutely did | 15:26 |
| MTecknology | mhall119: doing that will let you 1) sign off 2) ignore first branch in future 3) keep revisions (changes) low (100 revisions in a testing branch turns into one | 15:34 |
| MTecknology | mhall119: it might not be a horrible to remake everything to revision 1 for those branches either - just a thought | 15:39 |
| mhall119 | yeah, I'd have to delete the branch and start over | 15:40 |
| mhall119 | newz2000: is it okay if I delete the lp:ubuntu-website/light-drupal-theme branch and redo it the way MTecknology recommends? | 15:42 |
| MTecknology | mhall119: you don't need to delete | 15:42 |
| mhall119 | I don't? | 15:42 |
| MTecknology | nope | 15:44 |
| mhall119 | okay, now you've got my full attention, how do I get rid of the pull history on a branch already in launchpad? | 15:45 |
| MTecknology | there's two options | 15:46 |
| MTecknology | the long way; and the fast way | 15:46 |
| * mhall119 is listening | 15:46 | |
| MTecknology | the long way is better for established branches that are regularly used - the fast way is great to just quickly change it | 15:48 |
| mhall119 | would you mind explaining both, so I know the difference and which to use in future cases too? | 15:48 |
| MTecknology | bzr uncommit will let you roll back changes - if somebody branched that version, then get the sync on bzr pull, either way their own changes get broken | 15:49 |
| MTecknology | you usually use that if you're rolling back only one or two changes | 15:50 |
| MTecknology | the other way; you start fresh - but with no previous deletes | 15:50 |
| mhall119 | if I uncommit on my local branch, then push to LP, will it uncommit the ones in the LP branch too? | 15:50 |
| MTecknology | ya | 15:51 |
| mhall119 | oh, I had just assumed it wouldn't | 15:51 |
| MTecknology | the way i'd suggest will do essentially the same - but it'll bring you back to revision 0 | 15:51 |
| MTecknology | mkdir tmp; cd tmp; bzr init | 15:53 |
| MTecknology | bzr merge lp:ubuntu-drupal-theme | 15:53 |
| MTecknology | bzr commit -m "Your own message" | 15:53 |
| MTecknology | bzr push lp:ubuntu-website/light-drupal-theme --overwrite | 15:53 |
| MTecknology | either way you need to attach --overwrite because you're going back in time - and developers don't like time travel :P | 15:54 |
| MTecknology | heck.... | 15:54 |
| mhall119 | okay, that makes sense | 15:54 |
| MTecknology | mkdir tmp; cd tmp; bzr init; bzr mergelp:ubuntu-website/light-drupal-theme; bzr commit -m "foo"; bzr push lp:ubuntu-website/light-drupal-theme --overwrite | 15:55 |
| MTecknology | you can exclude any other branches from it :P | 15:55 |
| mhall119 | pushing now | 15:56 |
| MTecknology | Remaking branch to merge instead of pull from drupal dev's branch | 15:56 |
| MTecknology | newz2000: You should fix up 'bzr whoami' It's kinda ugly right now - Matthew Nuzum <matt@matthew-nuzums-macbook-pro.local> | 15:58 |
| mhall119 | MTecknology: did I do that right? | 15:59 |
| MTecknology | mhall119: yup | 15:59 |
| MTecknology | mhall119: take a peak - https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-website-community/ubuntu-website/light-drupal-theme | 16:00 |
| mhall119 | but the changelog still has it as revision 32 | 16:00 |
| MTecknology | not here | 16:00 |

| mhall119 | http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-website-community/ubuntu-website/light-drupal-theme/changes | 16:01 |
| MTecknology | :S | 16:01 |
| MTecknology | mhall119: that's odd | 16:02 |
| * mhall119 hopes he didn't screw things up | 16:03 | |
| mhall119 | oh, interesting, I now have negative revision numbers | 16:04 |
| stas | hey guys | 16:04 |
| mhall119 | previous rev 31 is not rev 0, previous 30 is not -1, etc | 16:04 |
| mhall119 | that's a cool way of doing it | 16:04 |
| stas | I got some updates: http://stas.nerd.ro/pub/light-base-theme/wp/ | 16:05 |
| stas | :) | 16:05 |
| * newz2000 is still on the phone, bb soon | 16:05 | |
| MTecknology | mhall119: I just asked what happened with that in #lp | 16:05 |
| mhall119 | I saw | 16:05 |
| mhall119 | I wonder if it's just sequentially numbering revisions, instead of using the actual revision # | 16:06 |
| MTecknology | it's odd - /me looks | 16:08 |
| MTecknology | Branched 1 revision(s). | 16:09 |
| MTecknology | mhall119: the only thing I could think of is 1) something is messed up on their end or 2) bzr branch lp:ubuntu-website/light-drupal-theme; cd light-drupal-theme; bzr reconcile; bzr push lp:ubuntu-website/light-drupal-theme --overwrite | 16:14 |
| MTecknology | mhall119: or your original plan of deleting - I'd wait a bit though and see if maybe it's a loggerhead bug | 16:14 |
| newz2000 | hi gang, I'm here | 17:22 |
| * newz2000 reads the history | 17:22 | |
| newz2000 | that is ugly | 17:23 |
| * newz2000 will do | 17:23 | |
| jcastro | hi webbers! We'd like to give more visibility to operation cleansweep, I'd like to ask/wonder what it would take to get the patch review slider we made on planet? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OperationCleansweep | 17:26 |
| stas | newz2000: I tagged the theme as beta http://stas.nerd.ro/pub/light-base-theme/wp/ | 17:27 |
| stas | code is on lp, rev 6 | 17:28 |
| newz2000 | stas: it's looking good, did you get help on the comments? | 17:29 |
| stas | newz2000: nope, done by myself | 17:29 |
| newz2000 | :-( | 17:29 |
| stas | I will post a video on how to manage it | 17:30 |
| stas | since there are 8 or 9 widgets | 17:31 |
| stas | and some of them offer fantastic content management | 17:31 |
| stas | also, there are some css/js easter eggs like .awesome class and .slider class | 17:32 |
| newz2000 | :-) | 17:32 |
| stas | awesome generates those fancy buttons and .slider generates a slider from an element's children img tags | 17:33 |
| stas | btw wp.30 is out :) | 17:37 |
| newz2000 | I just updated | 17:37 |
| newz2000 | as in, 15 seconds ago | 17:37 |
| newz2000 | I wonder if I should switch from svn to a normal release | 17:38 |
| stas | I've been on 3.0 since beta/alfas and it was pretty stable | 17:38 |
| newz2000 | yeah, me too | 17:38 |
| newz2000 | haven't had one issue | 17:39 |
| stas | wp-devs are celebrating :) | 17:39 |
| stas | knome: when you got some time, test the new theme rev.6 in lp | 17:44 |
| newz2000 | stas: jono is excited by your theme, he wants to use it right away | 18:00 |
| newz2000 | but he has to use it on 2.x, do you think he'll be OK? | 18:00 |
| stas | newz2000: give me a sec so I can add some compatibility checks | 18:00 |
| newz2000 | ok | 18:00 |
| stas | newz2000: oh, no I think he's safe, I rewrote today that part with required wp3.0 api | 18:02 |
| stas | to be sure I can make an install locally with 2.9 | 18:02 |
| daker | hi | 18:03 |
| newz2000 | stas: I'll test too | 18:03 |
| newz2000 | btw, I will be very difficult to reach tomorrow, I may have Jono or his minions come here for help if they need it | 18:03 |
| stas | newz2000: that means I will do the most today so there be no problems tomorrow | 18:05 |
| newz2000 | :-) I'm going to email some people to help test the theme | 18:06 |
| daker | newz2000, i'll test it | 18:06 |
| newz2000 | daker: awesome | 18:07 |
| daker | stas, wp 2.9 or 3.0 ? | 18:07 |
| newz2000 | I think we'll have more 2.9 users initially, if you can test with that it'd be awesome | 18:08 |
| daker | great | 18:08 |
| daker | stas, just to make sure i am right, bzr branch lp:~sushkov/ubuntu-website/light-wordpress-theme ? | 18:13 |
| newz2000 | we should merge that in I think | 18:14 |
| stas | newz2000: works flowlessly with 2.9 | 18:14 |
| newz2000 | great | 18:14 |
| stas | daker: yes | 18:14 |
| stas | newz2000: got a vide, posting it in a second | 18:15 |
| * stas zomg on core 2 duo 2.4Ghz and still coding 5m of ogm vide | 18:19 | |
| newz2000 | yeah, I've been creating some ogg video this week too | 18:19 |
| newz2000 | the crazy thing is that h.264 takes about 1m per 1m of video, ogg takes like 5m per 1m | 18:20 |
| stas | yeah... it takes as long as creating one :) | 18:20 |
| newz2000 | stas: what do you use for screencasts? | 18:21 |
| stas | gtk-recordmydesktop | 18:21 |
| stas | is there something better? | 18:21 |
| newz2000 | I don't know, when I tried that a while back it crashed my desktop | 18:21 |
| newz2000 | so now I boot into another os and use a non-free tool | 18:21 |
| mhall119 | I've used gtk-recordmydesktop | 18:22 |
| stas | it worked for me, but afaik it works ok only on gnome wm | 18:23 |
| mhall119 | I've used istanbul before too | 18:23 |
| newz2000 | I should try again I guess | 18:23 |
| * stas ~80% | 18:24 | |
| newz2000 | It would be awesome if vimeo could do it. Then one tool for editing and capturing. | 18:25 |
| newz2000 | oops, not vimeo | 18:25 |
| newz2000 | pitivi | 18:26 |
| stas | yep | 18:27 |
| stas | ok i got the ogm | 18:27 |
| stas | im trying to put it on youtube but its really slow | 18:27 |
| stas | newz2000: http://ubuntuone.com/p/7LP/ | 18:45 |
| newz2000 | stas: is that a video? | 18:45 |
| stas | amazingly ubuntu one was the fastest :) | 18:45 |
| stas | yes | 18:45 |
| stas | using 2.9 | 18:45 |
| newz2000 | cool, I'll send an email | 18:45 |
| newz2000 | then I think I'll get some lunch and come back and help test myself | 18:45 |
| newz2000 | stas: should we ask people to file bugs or do you want emails back to the list? | 18:46 |
| stas | newz2000: great, I'll be waiting, till then Ill finish some wp localizations | 18:46 |
| stas | newz2000: bugs | 18:46 |
| stas | I love lp | 18:46 |
| stas | or if they are easier with emails | 18:46 |
| stas | be then emails | 18:46 |
| newz2000 | Is there a way to link new bugs with the branch? | 18:47 |
| stas | the video is shows how to install the theme, set up the main page and blog page and how to add menus | 18:47 |
| stas | newz2000: dunno | 18:47 |
| mhall119 | newz2000: what do you mean? | 18:48 |
| newz2000 | so when someone reports a new bug we know it's for the wordpress code, not drupal or something else | 18:48 |
| newz2000 | ah, found it | 18:48 |
| newz2000 | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website/light-wordpress-theme | 18:48 |
| mhall119 | usually branches are associated with bugs when the branch contains a fix | 18:48 |
| mhall119 | right? | 18:49 |
| newz2000 | we have a series for each project (wordpress, drupal, base, etc) | 18:49 |
| mhall119 | oh, you mean against the series | 18:49 |
| mhall119 | ok | 18:49 |
| mhall119 | thought you were talking about the bzr branch | 18:49 |
| newz2000 | well, I was but the series seems to be the answer | 18:50 |
| newz2000 | ok, I better go eat, be back in a bit | 18:52 |
| mhall119 | moved light-django-theme to a branch owned by ~ubuntu-website-community | 18:57 |
| daker | stas, how can i add a sidebar ? | 19:03 |
| stas | daker: the sidebars are available only for news aka blog pages and single post pages | 19:04 |
| stas | there's no need for sidebar for static pages | 19:04 |
| stas | I wanted to save more space for content | 19:04 |
| mhall119 | the default.css is still pointing to http://s.ubuntu.ru/ for a lot of images | 19:13 |
| mhall119 | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website/+bug/595621 | 19:14 |
| mhall119 | I've submitted a merge proposal to light-base-theme | 19:14 |
| mhall119 | I added light-wordpress-theme and light-drupal-theme to the bug, because I'm not sure if you're using the same css or not | 19:14 |
| mhall119 | stas: MTecknology ^^ | 19:15 |
| stas | mhall119: nope light-wordpress-theme doesn't depend on light-base-theme css | 19:15 |
| daker | stas, http://imagebin.org/101657 | 19:16 |
| stas | daker: thats why I posted the video | 19:17 |
| daker | ah :) | 19:17 |
| stas | delete the widget title for pages widget | 19:17 |
| MTecknology | mhall119: hm? | 19:18 |
| mhall119 | MTecknology: the default.css from light-base-theme was referencing images on another server | 19:19 |
| MTecknology | mhall119: the drupal version isn't yet based on the base theme | 19:19 |
| mhall119 | oh, I thought that's what the new branch was that I was screwing up earlier | 19:20 |
| MTecknology | nope, that's the ubuntu-drupal version that we've been working on for a while now | 19:20 |
| mhall119 | oh, ok | 19:21 |
| mhall119 | I'll take you off the list too then | 19:21 |
| MTecknology | I need to fix some bugs and start taking some parts off and basing against the base-theme version | 19:21 |
| MTecknology | mhall119: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-drupal-theme/+bug/595644 | 19:52 |
| mhall119 | MTecknology: cool, are you on the ubuntu-website-community team? | 19:58 |
| MTecknology | mhall119: no | 19:58 |
| newz2000 | hey stas, around still? | 19:58 |
| jono | hey | 19:59 |
| stas | newz2000: yep | 19:59 |
| newz2000 | hey jono | 19:59 |
| newz2000 | stas: I just got back, jono is trying to test | 19:59 |
| MTecknology | mhall119: it's just cjohnston, newz2000, and you | 19:59 |
| newz2000 | says its not listed in his themes… any tricks? | 19:59 |
| stas | oh cool, hey jono | 19:59 |
| jono | hey stas | 19:59 |
| mhall119 | newz2000: can you add MTecknology to the ubuntu-website-community team so he can maintain the light-drupal-theme branch? | 19:59 |
| stas | lets see if you guys can build a cool website out of it without my help :) | 19:59 |
| newz2000 | mhall119: yes, what's his lp nick? | 19:59 |
| MTecknology | <- newz2000 | 20:00 |
| MTecknology | that's not pretty.... :( | 20:00 |
| * MTecknology <- newz2000 | 20:00 | |
| MTecknology | there :) | 20:00 |
| jono | so I am running the branch on my new website I am building for ubuntu.com | 20:01 |
| newz2000 | ok, give me a moment | 20:01 |
| jono | happy to test | 20:01 |
| stas | jono: what wp version? | 20:01 |
| jono | ping me when you have an update, I am just working on something else at the moment | 20:01 |
| jono | stas, most recent 2.x | 20:01 |
| jono | I am running it out of svn so I can upgrade easily | 20:01 |
| stas | ok, should work | 20:01 |
| jono | cool | 20:01 |
| newz2000 | stas: do we just cd wp-content/themes && bzr branch lp:~sushkov/ubuntu-website/light-wordpress-theme | 20:01 |
| stas | just tested it with 2.9, there's a video if you got 5m free | 20:01 |
| newz2000 | ? | 20:01 |
| jono | ahhh it is in the broken themes section | 20:01 |
| jono | says the template is missing | 20:01 |
| jono | newz2000, thats what I did | 20:02 |
| stas | jono: its a child theme, install thematic framework | 20:02 |
| jono | install what? | 20:02 |
| newz2000 | stas: ah | 20:02 |
| stas | a theme, called thematic | 20:02 |
| jono | ok, have a link? | 20:02 |
| newz2000 | http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/thematic | 20:02 |
| stas | use themes -> add new | 20:02 |
| jono | right | 20:03 |
| newz2000 | stas: do we put this theme inside the thematic folder? | 20:03 |
| stas | nope | 20:03 |
| newz2000 | or next to it? | 20:03 |
| daker | no outside | 20:03 |
| stas | next ot it | 20:03 |
| stas | its a dependancy | 20:03 |
| stas | thematic for wordpress is like zen theme for drupal | 20:03 |
| stas | i should add a screenshot to it btw | 20:04 |
| newz2000 | ok, I see it now | 20:04 |
| newz2000 | jono: if you're in a rush, you may need to wait... | 20:04 |
| newz2000 | it will take a little time to get it looking good | 20:04 |
| newz2000 | I mean you need to fiddle with it a bit | 20:04 |
| jono | ok it works | 20:05 |
| jono | thanks chaps | 20:05 |
| jono | I will wait for you to refine it and in the meantime I will check the video | 20:05 |
| jono | stas, do you have a feature so I can exclude pages from the nav bar? | 20:06 |
| jono | that will be key for me | 20:06 |
| stas | you need a plugin for wordpress 2.9 | 20:07 |
| stas | in wordpress 3.0 its all included | 20:07 |
| stas | I need to check exactly what can we use in 2.9 | 20:07 |
| jono | stas, odd, with other themes I have used it has been of the theme | 20:08 |
| jono | I ask because IS are really uncomfortable about including lots of plugins | 20:09 |
| jono | so I am trying to keep the plugin count *really* low, and preferably no plugins | 20:09 |
| newz2000 | stas: this will be a reoccurring prob since the locos often use canonical's hosting | 20:10 |
| jono | can you build this into the theme stas? | 20:10 |
| stas | jono: yes, I think I can | 20:10 |
| newz2000 | stas: do you like working on your own or do you want me to push for more wp help? | 20:10 |
| stas | how hard would be to upgrade to 3.0? | 20:11 |
| jono | stas, awesome | 20:11 |
| stas | newz2000: i can handle everything by myself so far, though i avoid doing tests, too lazy :) | 20:11 |
| jono | stas, unlikely | 20:11 |
| jono | easy for me to upgrade, but IS won't run it | 20:12 |
| newz2000 | stas: not going to be at the top of IS's priority list | 20:12 |
| jono | they will run 2.x until 3.x is fully stable | 20:12 |
| newz2000 | jono: went stable today! | 20:12 |
| stas | IS means what? | 20:12 |
| newz2000 | sys admins | 20:12 |
| jono | newz2000, hah, it is a .0 release thoiugh | 20:12 |
| jono | newz2000, dude, you know what IS are like :-) | 20:12 |
| newz2000 | yeah, totally | 20:13 |
| jono | newz2000, maybe we should not second guess IS and check with them | 20:13 |
| jono | newz2000, let me do this now | 20:13 |
| stas | how bad are your sysadmins? If they need help I can assist them :) | 20:14 |
| * mhall119 is once again amazed by bzr | 20:14 | |
| jono | ok talking with elmo now | 20:15 |
| newz2000 | stas: they've got a lot of responsibility and if they mess up they end up on the front page of slashdot and digg | 20:15 |
| * newz2000 has been there, that kind of popularity is no fun | 20:15 | |
| stas | ok, now I understand their position :) | 20:15 |
| mhall119 | heh | 20:15 |
| stas | there some good features added into wp 3.0 so I would consider upgrading, even if it's a .0 | 20:16 |
| jono | stas, newz2000 ok elmo confirmed 3.x will be fine | 20:17 |
| jono | which is awesome | 20:17 |
| stas | kewl | 20:17 |
| newz2000 | wow, I'm stunned | 20:17 |
| jono | same here | 20:17 |
| jono | so stas, focus on 3.x | 20:17 |
| jono | I will upgrade my test site and test there too | 20:18 |
| stas | maybe 3.x has something they're waiting some long time so it worth | 20:18 |
| jono | hah | 20:18 |
| jono | he may have been drunk, also | 20:18 |
| jono | lol | 20:18 |
| stas | :) | 20:18 |
| newz2000 | stas: you're right, actually… it lets them ditch mu | 20:18 |
| stas | jono: I will try to create an export xml with a demo wordpress loco website so you can test everything without creating content and stuff like that manually | 20:19 |
| jono | stas, its ok, I have the content already in place, I just need to make sure the theme can display it right | 20:20 |
| stas | also that xml file can be used as a skeleton for loco websites as we discussed it with newz2000 yesterday | 20:20 |
| jono | I will keep developing my content in another theme and then move it to the new theme when ready | 20:20 |
| jono | stas, I assume the nav bar shows the pages on the site | 20:20 |
| jono | and the lower nav bar are subpages? | 20:20 |
| stas | jono: yes, in wp 3.0 you got a new feature where you can create custom menus, so you can place whatever you want in those nav bars | 20:21 |
| jono | stas, awesome | 20:21 |
| jono | i will play with it and see what I can do | 20:21 |
| stas | jono: yes, but not necessary, I placed there sublist pages, but you can place there a twitter status | 20:21 |
| jono | stas, so just so you know, you new theme will be driving developer.ubuntu.com and uds.ubuntu.com | 20:21 |
| jono | :) | 20:21 |
| jono | those are the sites I signed up to work on | 20:21 |
| stas | jono: wow, thats awesome, you better keep me updated if there's something broken or that requires attention, so I can fix it asap | 20:22 |
| jono | stas, will do, I will be testing on my local sites, so we will stay in touch | 20:23 |
| mhall119 | you're on the hook now stas | 20:23 |
| jono | these will not be blogs but conventional websites | 20:23 |
| mhall119 | don't want to be on the frontpage of slashdot | 20:23 |
| jono | stas, does your theme support widgets? | 20:23 |
| stas | great, I need to write some docs for it then | 20:23 |
| knome | stas, was ;) | 20:23 |
| jono | mhall119, lool | 20:23 |
| jono | lol | 20:23 |
| knome | hey jono :) | 20:23 |
| jono | hey knome | 20:23 |
| stas | jono: yes, but I moved them only to blog view, and left the above footer widget area and asides for the rest | 20:24 |
| stas | jono: I'll post a video with all those features ok | 20:24 |
| stas | knome: thanks for the tips on those widgets/asides :) | 20:25 |
| knome | stas, no problem | 20:25 |
| jono | thanks stas | 20:25 |
| knome | stas, if you need more ideas, just poke me | 20:25 |
| jono | so where do I configure the nav? | 20:25 |
| jono | ahh I see it | 20:25 |
| knome | stas, which theme were you talking about? the wp? | 20:25 |
| stas | knome: wp | 20:25 |
| knome | stas, okay | 20:25 |
| jono | it says the current theme doesnt support menus in the menu editor | 20:26 |
| knome | stas, i'll give it a go later today or tomorrow | 20:26 |
| jono | is that right stas? | 20:26 |
| stas | jono: did you create any menus? | 20:26 |
| jono | not yet | 20:26 |
| jono | my previous theme just used the pages | 20:26 |
| stas | create a custom menu with some pages/links | 20:26 |
| jono | ok | 20:27 |
| * stas going to rec a video how to use the theme brb | 20:27 | |
| jono | done that | 20:27 |
| jono | how do I add it to the nav? | 20:28 |
| MTecknology | jono: HI! | 20:29 |
| jono | hey MTecknology | 20:30 |
| MTecknology | jono: haven't noticed you in a while - figured i have to pounce | 20:30 |
| jono | stas, ^^ how to add the menu to the nav? | 20:34 |
| stas | look at widgets | 20:34 |
| stas | there should be a widget called custom menu | 20:34 |
| jono | ahhh ok | 20:35 |
| stas | add it, a dropdown list shold appear in options | 20:35 |
| jono | awesome it | 20:37 |
| jono | works | 20:37 |
| jono | so to have the submenu in the grey bar | 20:37 |
| jono | how does that work | 20:37 |
| jono | how do I define a subpage for a page? | 20:37 |
| jono | to put in that menu | 20:37 |
| jono | oh hang on | 20:41 |
| jono | I might have this | 20:41 |
| jono | ahhh no it didnt work | 20:41 |
| jono | stas, ^^ | 20:43 |
| jono | so I just need to figure out how to get subpages in the gray sub-nav | 20:43 |
| * newz2000 has to move on to other tasks now | 20:45 | |
| jono | thanks newz2000 | 20:47 |
| mhall119 | progess so far on updating loco-directory to the new theme: http://family.ubuntu-fl.org:8001/ | 20:51 |
| mhall119 | only teams pages and about are using the new theme so far | 20:52 |
| stas | jono: i finished the video | 20:57 |
| jono | stas, cool | 20:57 |
| stas | just a sec so I can upload | 20:57 |
| stas | jono: I think I will remove that secondary widget menu and add there automatic subpages listing | 20:58 |
| stas | its the best afaik and will require no additional plugins | 20:58 |
| stas | just the theme | 20:58 |
| jono | stas, would would be perfect | 20:58 |
| jono | stas, although you will want to make sure you can exclude pages from the submenu | 20:59 |
| stas | I was using widget context for that | 20:59 |
| stas | it adds some nice controls over widgets | 20:59 |
| stas | http://konstruktors.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/widget-context-settings-0.4.1.png | 20:59 |
| stas | adds that wide widget context options panel | 21:00 |
| jono | is that a plugin? | 21:00 |
| stas | yes | 21:01 |
| stas | its not included in core | 21:01 |
| stas | too bad actually | 21:01 |
| * stas video is still encoding ~20% | 21:01 | |
| jono | stas, so I have a proposal for you: | 21:02 |
| stas | jono: shoot | 21:02 |
| jono | ok, so imagine we have: | 21:03 |
| jono | Page | 21:03 |
| jono | Sub-page | 21:03 |
| jono | Sub-page 2 | 21:03 |
| jono | Sub-page 3 | 21:03 |
| jono | one page with three sub-pages | 21:03 |
| stas | ok | 21:03 |
| jono | the optimal workflow for me is that I set it up like this in WP and then when I click on Page in the nav, the sub-pages automatically appear in the grey bar | 21:04 |
| jono | but then I can somehow explicitly exclude a sub-page from the nav | 21:04 |
| jono | without plugins | 21:04 |
| jono | can you do this inside the theme? | 21:04 |
| jono | actually, dude | 21:04 |
| jono | ignore me | 21:04 |
| jono | ignore the excluding pages requirement | 21:04 |
| jono | can you just have the grey box just automatically show the sub-pages? | 21:05 |
| stas | jono: sure, thats what I was talking right before you started the proposal :) | 21:05 |
| jono | stas, perfect! | 21:06 |
| jono | that would solve me problem perfectly | 21:06 |
| jono | if you can hack on this, I will update my branch | 21:06 |
| stas | ok commit to follow soon | 21:06 |
| jono | nice! | 21:07 |
| jono | thanks stas | 21:07 |
| jono | stas, what is an "aside" in the widget view? | 21:14 |
| stas | the're named | 21:14 |
| stas | actually the widget areas | 21:15 |
| stas | on the right listed | 21:15 |
| stas | jono: try pulling the changes | 21:31 |
| jono | thanks stas | 21:31 |
| jono | good work stas! | 21:32 |
| jono | works great | 21:32 |
| stas | ok the video with all the features is comming along | 21:32 |
| stas | now uploading to ubuntuone | 21:33 |
| jono | thanks stas! | 21:34 |
| jono | stas, how is the ordering of the sub-pages handled? | 21:36 |
| stas | I think alphabetically | 21:37 |
| stas | let me check | 21:37 |
| jono | could we use the Order in the page to handle this? | 21:37 |
| jono | every page has an Order numerical reference | 21:37 |
| stas | 'post_title' - Sort Pages alphabetically (by title) - default | 21:38 |
| jono | hmm | 21:38 |
| jono | that might no work so well | 21:38 |
| stas | jono: ok I'm setting it as by order | 21:38 |
| jono | awesome | 21:39 |
| jono | thanks! | 21:39 |
| jono | would it be ok to remove the tagline from under the logo? | 21:39 |
| jono | I think most users will want to use an image the full height of the header | 21:39 |
| jono | stas, btw, the site I am building is at http://developer.recreantview.org/ | 21:39 |
| stas | jono: here're some tips | 21:40 |
| stas | get some <img tags inside a <div class="slider"> | 21:40 |
| stas | and those will slide | 21:41 |
| jono | we support the lider? | 21:41 |
| jono | slider | 21:41 |
| jono | sweet! | 21:41 |
| stas | :) | 21:41 |
| jono | do I do: | 21:41 |
| jono | <div> | 21:41 |
| jono | <img> | 21:41 |
| jono | <img> | 21:41 |
| jono | <img> | 21:41 |
| jono | </div> | 21:41 |
| jono | > | 21:41 |
| stas | yes | 21:41 |
| jono | sweet | 21:41 |
| stas | <img/><img/> | 21:41 |
| stas | otherwise wp will add <br/> | 21:41 |
| jono | can I hyperlink each image for a clickthrough? | 21:41 |
| stas | yes | 21:41 |
| jono | woo! | 21:41 |
| stas | you can also add titles | 21:42 |
| jono | nice! | 21:42 |
| stas | jono: you should get something like this http://nivo.dev7studios.com/ | 21:42 |
| stas | also, add the class 'awesome' to a link, and it will look like a big fat orange button :) | 21:42 |
| stas | <a class="awesome" ... >t</a> | 21:43 |
| jono | nice! | 21:45 |
| jono | you have done awesome work here, stas | 21:45 |
| jono | thankyou so much | 21:45 |
| jono | ok I am headed back hom | 21:46 |
