smilenuus24 :)17:43
smileI need to inform you of the news :D17:43
Cantidedamn17:43
Cantidemy Afrikaans is not good enough to understand it 100% ,_,17:43
smileI understand it fully :P And I'm not native speaker :)17:45
Cantide:p17:46
smileCantide: Dutch is very similar to Afrikaans17:47
smileAnd the other way around, too17:47
Cantideyes '-'17:47
Cantideof that i am aware17:47
CantideI haven't used Afrikaans for 10 years17:47
Cantideand even 10 years ago it wasn't very good17:47
charlvndutch and afrikaans is a little like dutch and german - there are a lot of things that are the same but they are just different enough to get you into some serious trouble17:48
charlvn;)17:48
Cantidehaha17:48
CantideI know a little German, too17:48
charlvni was having a conversation with some of my colleagues today about it17:48
Cantidebut I think my Afrikaans might be better than my German ._.17:48
smilecharlvn: lol ;)17:49
Cantidebrb, coffee time '-'17:49
smileAfrikaans is more similar to Dutch than Dutch is similar to German17:49
charlvni used the example of a south african that asked the girl behind the till if he could see her "slipje"17:49
smile:o17:49
charlvna "slip" is a "bonnetje" in afrikaans so that is perfectly normal to ask to see the slip17:49
charlvnof course, in dutch it has a whole other meaning and the girl was very angry17:50
charlvnbut that kind of thing happens so easily17:50
charlvnit's like when i tried to log into google in germany and i got asked to log into "google konten"17:50
charlvni understood "konten" to mean "assholes" so i was quite terrified of having to "log in"17:50
charlvnthen i looked it up in the dictionary and found out it means "accounts" in german17:51
charlvnagain, have to be very careful ;)17:51
smilePeace and happiness might be found. :)18:03
smilelol, charlvn :p18:04

inetprogood evening20:09
charlvnhi inetpro 20:22
inetprohi charlvn20:22
inetprohow goes20:22
charlvnlong time no speak to, how's it going20:22
charlvni'm doing well thanks20:22
inetprogood and yeah self?20:22
charlvnfinished moving into my new appartment, feeling great20:22
inetpronice20:22
charlvni still have a couple of loose ends i need to finish off here though20:23
charlvnbut for the most part i can start taking it a little easier now20:23
inetprocharlvn: I was wondering, have you dealt with drupal yet?20:23
charlvni used to develop on drupal 6 and 7 a long time ago20:23
charlvnwell, by long time i mean something like 6 or so years20:23
* inetpro is thinking about importing lots of legacy data to a drupal database20:23
charlvnfor ict terms, a really long time20:23
inetproall text based20:24
inetproone record per file20:24
charlvndrupal can have a very strange database structure sometimes, as long as you're careful it shouldn't be too difficult20:24
charlvnit used to have a really strange way of handling metadata20:24
charlvnit had these nodes but that then link with a bunch of different tables20:24
inetproeish20:25
charlvni didn't really like it very much, i found it too complex to and unhandy to work with20:25
charlvnthat said, that was a long time ago :)20:25
charlvnmaybe by now it's much cleaner / easier20:25
* inetpro needs to find some time to learn the structure a bit20:25
charlvnonce you "get it" it isn't too bad20:25
charlvnyou just need to put some time aside and learn it properly20:25
inetproI've seen a html to drupal import module somewhere but not text to drupal20:26
inetproor a script at least20:27
charlvnif it's a simple structure it should be really easy to do it directly into the database20:28
charlvni have done database imports where i literally generate the sql with some bash script20:28
charlvn*scripting i mean20:28
* inetpro should actually create some dummy data and put it out as a challenge for anybody20:29
charlvnlol20:29
charlvncould be fun20:29
charlvn(for someone who still works with drupal, i mean, not me) ;)20:29
inetpro:-)20:29
inetproLudo: wb20:53
inetprocharlvn: can you see the files in the following link https://www.dropbox.com/sh/hifxmtf9hdemu36/TtZNa0Q-AL/DrupalTXTImportTest20:54
charlvninetpro: that's just a date, title and body right?21:02
charlvnthat's very easy21:02
inetprocharlvn: yes it is basically as simple as that21:03
charlvnso you wanna loop through each directory and just import the files one by one21:03
inetprojust for proof of concept21:03
charlvnif i remember correctly that would be very easy to do21:03
inetprocharlvn: true21:03
charlvnwith a little python script or something21:03
charlvnyou just need a database connector and some basic file/string handling21:03
charlvnif i had a drupal database handy i would have done it for you21:04
inetprocharlvn: even if you just play with the basic concept of reading the data from file and submitting to a dummy database I'd appreciate the help21:06
inetprowe can find out about the drupal structure laters21:06
zerefhmmm21:11
zerefany css, php guru here?21:11
inetprozeref: don't ask to ask, just ask21:12
inetprooh and anybody is welcome to help with above mentioned challenge21:12
zerefforgot bout the asking thing.21:13
inetprozeref: no problem :-)21:14
zerefk, i would like to create a table with a couple of rows and colums21:14
zerefi will use css for that.21:14
zerefnot i need to fetch data from database and place it into the rows and columns21:15
zereffor that I'll use php.21:15
zerefhow do i get the data into the table?21:15
charlvnzeref: retrieve rows, loop through each row, generate <tr>...</tr> html?21:20
charlvnthat's pretty simple, there should be a million tutorials out there that can give an example21:21
inetprozeref: I was thinking the same thing as charlvn, there should be many samples out there for your case21:21
charlvnhttp://stackoverflow.com/questions/8904124/looping-through-and-displaying-multiple-table-rows-from-sql21:22
inetpronot sure how you want to use css for creating rows and columns21:22
charlvnhttp://davidwalsh.name/html-mysql-php21:23
charlvnand a million others, just google21:25
superflyA million bad tutorials too.21:25
charlvnthat's true21:26
charlvnbut you start somewhere :P21:27
charlvnstart dumb, iterate until smart21:27
superflyif only it actually worked that way...21:35
zerefsigh21:38
inetprozeref: wb21:39
* inetpro 's challenge described in just a bit more detail: http://slexy.org/view/s208X0EQYU21:44
zerefhmmmm21:48
zerefinetpro: I'm also busy with drupal as well :D21:48
inetprozeref: I just had to spell a few things out for myself to start with, will continue with the exercise as I find time21:50
* inetpro heading off to hit the sack21:50
inetprogood night everyone21:50
charlvnsuperfly: you don't become smart by practising? are you smart overnight?21:51
charlvninetpro: good night! :)21:51
