mhall119aquarius: was out to dinner with the family01:47
aquariusmhall119, no problem at all. There's no rush :)01:47
mhall119aquarius: I don't see a difference01:58
mhall119it looks to be zoomed in, that's it01:58
aquariushrm. which phone are you using?01:59
aquariusthis is why I wanted other people to test it ;)01:59
aquariusmy Nexus S has Android 4.0 ICS on it...01:59
mhall119droidx01:59
mhall119854×480 according to wikipedia02:00
aquariuswhich version of android?02:00
mhall119is "old" a version?02:00
mhall1192.3.302:01
aquariusgingerbread? that's not old.02:01
aquariusindulge me: does http://teamtreehouse.com/ show the icons one above the other on your phone (while showing them in a horizontal line in your desktop browser?)02:02
mhall119yup02:03
aquariusbut summit is still showing the page header and stuff on your phone?02:04
mhall119yes02:04
mhall119I'd take a screenshot from my phone if I knew how02:04
mhall119there's a gap between meeting name cell and the room name cell02:05
aquariusno screenshots for you. you need ics for that.02:05
aquariusdammit.02:05
mhall119but only in portrait02:05
aquariusah, I haven't even thought about landscape yet. Look at it in portrait ;-)02:05
mhall119I get the "view details of this session" link in the popup02:05
aquariuser! oops.02:06
aquariusI forgot to put "only override this stuff in mobile mode" around that bit of js ;)02:06
aquariusthe bigger question is: why are my styles not working?02:07
mhall119aquarius: http://91.189.93.80:8000/uds-p/ has your branch merged02:08
aquariusgoldarnit, works fine on my phone02:09
aquariusand we know your phone responds to media queries or teamtreehouse wouldn't have done the magic.02:09
* aquarius researches02:11
aquariusindulge me. Can you edit the daily.html and on line 75 change max-device-width: 480px to max-width: 481px02:13
aquariusand then see if that makes a difference?02:13
mhall119ah ha, that looks different02:18
aquariusha haaa.02:18
aquariusso you should now have the schedule fill the whole screen, no page header or footer02:18
mhall119the track titles are hard to read though02:18
mhall119yup, it looks very mobile now02:18
aquariushard to read in the sense of "black text on a coloured background"?02:19
aquarius(those are "session titles", aren't they? I can't see a track title at all)02:19
mhall119in the details popup I mean02:19
mhall119it uses the track color for the text color02:19
aquariusoh, right, yeah02:19
mhall119which is white or a light color02:20
aquariusthat will need fixing. I haven't fiddled with any colouration at all ;)02:20
aquariusnext trick, then: max-device-width: 481px if you would02:20
mhall119this is great though02:20
mhall119it's already @media screen and (max-device-width: 481px)02:20
aquariusah!02:20
aquariusso you do support max-device-width02:21
aquariusit's just that when it says max-device-width:480px it actually means "*less* than 480px". hmph.02:21
aquariusif you change it to max-width, does it still work?02:21
mhall119either that or my phone is slightly more than wikipedia says02:21
aquariusmax-width is better becauase then we can test the "mobile layout"by just making your desktop firefox window smaller ;)02:22
aquariuschanges pushed02:28
aquarius(black background on the track titles in the details div, too)02:28
mhall119updated02:31
mhall119instead of black, how about the same gray used in the popup on the desktop?02:31
mhall119#10101002:31
aquariuspushed02:36
aquariusquestion: do you want a brief tour of what I did, or does it make sense to you already?02:36
mhall119makes sense enough, and I like the results02:36
mhall119did you write the javascript, or is that copied from something?02:37
aquariusI wrote it02:37
aquariusit makes shameless use of modern browser stuff without checking. ;)02:38
mhall119fast and loose, I like it02:38
mhall119that's how we roll with summit02:38
aquariusI could have patched out your show_agenda_details in the code and Done It Differently, but I just monkeypatch it at the end instead because then I'm not sodding about with your code02:39
aquariusand it makes the diff simpler :P02:39
nigelblol02:40
mhall119it's all going to be nigelb's fault in the end anyway, so I'm okay with that02:40
nigelbWe should, at some point rewrite the CSS with something like foundation.02:41
nigelbIt does mobile layouts beautifully.02:41
mhall119nigelb: good idea, when will it be done?02:42
nigelbmhall119: check nigelb.me on your phone.02:42
nigelbI'm not klutzing around with css.02:42
mhall119nigelb: works nice on my phone02:43
aquariusoh, certainly restructuring the whole thing from the ground up is a good idea; doing mobile-first design is also a good idea. I have assumed that the time to do it properly is not available, otherwise you guys would have done it already. This is a relatively quick patch which, I think, punches above its weight in lines-of-code in terms of how much nicer it makes the experience for mobile users, and it only too02:43
aquariusk an hour :002:43
mhall119you should totally re-write summit02:43
nigelbwas that to sil or me? :P02:44
mhall119you02:44
mhall119I'm afraid aquarius might actually do it ;)02:44
nigelblol02:44
aquariusI am not doing it. I'm afraid of doing too much to summit in case I end up owning it. I'd be a really bad primary maintainer. :)02:45
mhall119aquarius: if you're happy with you branch, I'd like to approve it so it can land02:45
aquariusI'm happy with that branch as it stands, sure02:45
nigelbaquarius: With mhall119's new position, he owns summit forever.02:45
mhall119aquarius: it is kind of a curse, you touch it and you own it02:45
mhall119nigelb: nope02:45
nigelbYeah, I owned it for a while. I'm glad cjohnston's owning it now.02:45
aquariusmhall119, I know, which is why I won't hack on it too much ;)02:45
mhall119nigelb: punch tarmac for me02:46
nigelbpunched02:46
aquariusnext branch will be: fix the preceding two pages (front page with list of conferences and next page with list of tracks/rooms/days) so that they're a bit more mobile friendly02:46
mhall119that'd be nice02:46
aquariusthen the branch after that is "summit now works offline if you bookmark it"02:46
mhall119SSO has *some* mobile UI work, but it's evidently pretty bad according to the people who did it02:46
aquariusand then I'm done, I think, on the "scratch an itch" principle ;)02:47
aquariusmy particular itch being "make summit work well on my phone at UDS" :P02:47
nigelbhaha02:47
aquariusself-interest. :)02:47
mhall119aquarius: I'll work on the "click the start to attend" feature too02:47
mhall119that'll make it even more useful02:48
mhall119s/start/star/02:48
aquariusthat'd be cool, although it's way too small a target on mobiles at the moment02:48
aquariusrule of thumb: a clickable thing needs to be 24x24px to be a target on a mobile, and that's a minimum.02:48
mhall119yeah, we can tweak the sizes and padding for mobile as we go02:48
mhall119the images are 24x24 I think, just shrunk to 16x1602:49
aquariusyeah, my goal for this branch was just to prove that making summit look nice on mobiles was easy :P02:49
aquariusthen we can start thinking about auto-collapsing sessions that are in the past, etc, but that goes beyond "reformat existing summit for mobile" into "design a decent mobile UI for summit", which is a worthy goal but needs more discussion ;)02:49
aquariusanyway, it's 3am, so I'm going to bed. Will try and look more on Sunday :)02:52
aquariusttfn, gang02:52
mhall119thanks aq02:55
mhall119nigelb: why isn't tarmac landing https://code.launchpad.net/~sil/summit/mobile-view-for-daily-page/+merge/90555 ?03:11
nigelbmhall119: no commit message?03:17
mhall119I always forget to check that03:23
mhall119punch it again please03:24
cjohnstoninteresting scrollback03:58
mhall119cjohnston: we have a mobile-friendly schedule page!04:19
mhall119it's on the staging box now, you can give it a try04:19

cjohnston:-)11:21
cjohnstonit doesnt really matter as the people who can fix it all have the access11:22
head_victimSeems odd to have bugs marked private for a package that is all about publically available content but I'm sure there's a reason I can't think of :)11:22
cjohnstonI would suspect its possible that stuff that isnt public yet could be discussed so that when its time, its ready11:23
cjohnstonbut im not positive11:23
