oh, the fee. sorry :D
2017-04-27 11726, 2017
Quesito
yeah--the amount yes , the other two not really important on this page.
2017-04-27 11727, 2017

Quesito
I believe (although could be wrong) that the email is still collected within the data--we are simply asking for it not to be shown on the table unless you view that payment--and then you'd see all the inputed data including email. but maybe I'm wrong...!
2017-04-27 11721, 2017
Quesito
also ditto Freso ;)

Quesito: I'm here now
2017-04-27 11753, 2017
Quesito
awesome! I'm still here! :)
2017-04-27 11706, 2017
Quesito
so what is the scoop on company name?
2017-04-27 11706, 2017
Gentlecat
we can add it to the payment table, but I'm not sure where to get that data from
2017-04-27 11724, 2017
Gentlecat
I can check whether stripe/paypal provide this kind of info
2017-04-27 11730, 2017
Quesito
is the payment table not linked to the user database?
2017-04-27 11740, 2017
Gentlecat
no, it's not. that's the thing
2017-04-27 11748, 2017
Quesito
hmmmm. why?
2017-04-27 11712, 2017
Quesito
I'm asking a lot of things--cause I don't understand, sorry. :D
2017-04-27 11717, 2017
Gentlecat
because people don't need to log in to make a payment
2017-04-27 11724, 2017
Gentlecat
no worries
2017-04-27 11729, 2017
Quesito
ahhh
2017-04-27 11757, 2017
Quesito
but they have to fill out the form to make a payment ? correct?
the only other thing we have apart from payment details is an invoice number
2017-04-27 11748, 2017
Quesito
I get a form with a bunch of info they have to type in, no?
2017-04-27 11715, 2017
Gentlecat
but there's still no way to map that to a user automatically because it's not recorded anywhere in the db outside of payments
2017-04-27 11722, 2017
Quesito
right
2017-04-27 11739, 2017
Gentlecat
not sure what you mean by clicking on a user
2017-04-27 11700, 2017
Quesito
click the edit icon and you get the payment details
2017-04-27 11727, 2017
Gentlecat
oh, in the admin interface?
2017-04-27 11729, 2017
Quesito
(I am failing at technical lingo, always....sorry again!)
2017-04-27 11731, 2017
Quesito
yes
2017-04-27 11751, 2017
Gentlecat
this all comes from one of the payment processors
2017-04-27 11709, 2017
Quesito
first things first--we are dicussing the admin view, correct?
2017-04-27 11715, 2017
Gentlecat
some of this info people provide to them and we get it back
2017-04-27 11728, 2017
Quesito
ah....the payment processors. I get it....
2017-04-27 11746, 2017
Quesito
hmmmm
2017-04-27 11747, 2017
Gentlecat
that's what I'm currently improving as per that ticket, yes
2017-04-27 11731, 2017
Quesito
but we do receive the persons musicbrainz ID
2017-04-27 11734, 2017
Quesito
?
2017-04-27 11722, 2017
Gentlecat
only for donations and only if they provided it
2017-04-27 11735, 2017
Quesito
ok
2017-04-27 11738, 2017
Gentlecat
it might also be incorrect, there's no validation
2017-04-27 11746, 2017
Quesito
right.
2017-04-27 11755, 2017

Quesito: the problem is that having to log in to make a payment is one more barrier to making payments.
2017-04-27 11701, 2017
Gentlecat
one thing we could do is require people to log in to make a payment
2017-04-27 11709, 2017
Gentlecat
right
2017-04-27 11716, 2017
ruaok
right now the engineers have access to the meb account for token generation.
2017-04-27 11721, 2017
Quesito
ok right
2017-04-27 11745, 2017
ruaok
we should not make anymore log in to make a payment. yes, it would be ideal for use to receive that data, but that simply does not work in the corporate world.
2017-04-27 11738, 2017
Quesito
now that i understand our set-up, I am thinking about this in a different way....
2017-04-27 11701, 2017
Quesito
ruaok: did you have a log-in required at any time in the MeB history?
2017-04-27 11714, 2017
ruaok
not for payments, never.
2017-04-27 11754, 2017
Quesito
also general question: why in 2017 is making a payment so f-ing complicated? this was supposed to become easier by now.....
2017-04-27 11716, 2017
ruaok
banks.
2017-04-27 11727, 2017
ruaok
too big, too vested, too complacent.
2017-04-27 11702, 2017
iliekcomputers__
let's replace banks! :)
2017-04-27 11706, 2017
Quesito
this payment admin view--we only see donations (as far as I can see), no?
2017-04-27 11707, 2017
iliekcomputers__
bitcoin ftw :)
2017-04-27 11728, 2017
ruaok
far from it, iliekcomputers__.
2017-04-27 11750, 2017
ruaok
I want to expose us to less uncertainty financially. not more.
2017-04-27 11758, 2017
Quesito
lets return to bartering....seems faster than banks, paypal, etc....and no logins!
2017-04-27 11708, 2017
Quesito
j/k
2017-04-27 11719, 2017
iliekcomputers__ was kidding too :P

I finally got the time to fix my PR today :O
2017-04-27 11757, 2017
Quesito
ok this payment admin view is soley for donations correct?
2017-04-27 11703, 2017
Gentlecat
Quesito: no
2017-04-27 11716, 2017
Quesito
hmmm why do I only see donations/
2017-04-27 11720, 2017
Gentlecat
I think it's just because there are more donation than payments
2017-04-27 11725, 2017
ruaok
we care more about payments.
2017-04-27 11701, 2017
Quesito
ok--Gentlecat-- I think the first thing you should tackle is making the sorting arrows work
2017-04-27 11717, 2017
ruaok
+1
2017-04-27 11737, 2017
Quesito
this will help us navigate the rest of the ticket and give me some time to think about other options for org name/company name etc.
2017-04-27 11743, 2017
Gentlecat
well, I'll just do the basic sorting by date for now as the ticket requests
2017-04-27 11701, 2017
Gentlecat
if you need something more advanced, I can try to do that next
2017-04-27 11715, 2017
Quesito
and you too--please let me know if you have another idea of how to get this data within the table--even if it's an outside the box idea
