      • ruaok bangs his head on git
      • ruaok
        I can't tell if my problems are git or git-svn.
      • duh.
      • ruaok realizes his mistake
      • Muz

      • navap prefers http://xabbu.net/mb/profile.htm over http://musicbrainz.homeip.net:3000/user/profile/rob, but there might be some bias in that comparison :p
      • Muz
        Nah I agree
      • CatCat
        psudonatta!
      • navap
        I think the order really needs to be changed, why is name the third item?
      • CatCat also agrees, btw
      • Muz
        The HTML tags are appearing in the bio.
      • navap
        (edit my account is ony viewable on a users *own* page of course)

      • jerndoe_
        hi, anyone knows how to mark a album as a compilation in picard?
      • kurros
        is the site wrong?
      • there are add/edit buttons in properties that you can set albumartist or compliation = 1
      • er in Details
      • jerndoe_
        kurros: yeah i know, but this album has no matches in the musicbrainz db, so I just need to save it without looking it up...
      • Muz
        jerndoe_: add it to the MB db then!
      • jerndoe_
        arhh i'll try it
      • brianfreud
        ruaok: part of your git problems are prob because you've got the musicnews pm files in your master, even though they're still only in a checkout
      • I'd probably not wrap the bio text: http://brianfreud.info:3001/user/profile/brianf...
      • and add some whitespace above "General Information"
      • navap
        Whitespace..yer, but you don't want it to wrap aound the image?
      • yes*
      • brianfreud
        also a bit of funkiness in the "normal" right side columns now - everything on the right is 2px or so too high
      • jerndoe_
        Muz: then I'll have to wait until it accepted, besides its not an official release...
      • navap
        I alwas found it odd how the content on the profile page was very rigid ant in the middle.
      • jerndoe_
        kurros: the compilation tag is already 1 on all tracks (album title is the same on all tracks)
      • kurros
        albumartist?
      • navap
        Correct me if I'm wrong, but the idea of a "Compilation tag" is an itunes one isnt it?
      • As in, not something that Picard (/most other softwares?) use..
      • jerndoe_
        kurros: is different for each tracks
      • kurros
        yeah i think picard just writes it for convenience. most players should go by album artist. though there may be other things beside iTunes/iPods
      • jerndoe_
        kurros: under "cluster", the folder where the files are listed, lists artist as Various Artists
      • kurros
        jerndoe_: you really should add it to the musicbrainz db, but select all the tracks and pick details, set albumartist to Various Artists
      • there is a plugin you can download to just right click on the cluster and Add Release
      • if you already have the track names and such filled out properly
      • brianfreud would actually love it if user bios used Text::Wiki
      • makes it a little easier
      • navap
        I was actually thinking of that, It would be easy to include 'User:navap/bio' and use that as a short bio on the profile page.
      • I aiso thought it would be nice to have a link to lastfm maybe?
      • brianfreud
      • jerndoe_
        yeah, I know, but this is a mix-tape from my friend so I don't know wheter others are going to have any gain from it
      • Muz
        Ruh roh, DB change alert.

        ruaok: comments in scrollback
      • jerndoe_
        kurros: is it the add cluster plugin?
      • kurros
        yep
      • ruaok looks
      • ruaok
        muiscnews.pm wasn't my problem, but it doesn't belong there fore sure.
      • jerndoe_
        kurrus: I'm running ubuntu/linux, where should I put the python script? I don't have the suggested folder and unsure what the applications folder is
      • ruaok
        brianfreud: where do you see the musicnews.pm file in my master branch?
      • kurros
        ~/.config/MusicBrainz/Picard/plugins/
      • brianfreud
        not sure, but my checkout of acid2's master, turned into a checkout to see your branch, was complaining about it not being present when trying to restart the server on a checkout of your branch
      • kurros
        may have to make the last two folders
      • brianfreud
        had to pull not just your master, but also your musicnews branch, before it would start
      • jerndoe_
        kurros: yeah was unsure if they should already be there
      • ruaok
        thats odd
      • brianfreud
        *shrug* well, it's up and running on your checkout now :)
      • any thoughts on adding text:wikiformat support to bios?
      • Muz
        I wouldn't.
      • ruaok
        I suppose.
      • brianfreud
        Muz: why not?
      • Muz
        Oh wait, you don't actually mean transcluding the wiki page d you?
      • Ignore me. :)
      • brianfreud
        then a bio like mine ( http://brianfreud.info:3001/user/profile/brianf... ) could have real links
      • david_hilton_p joined the channel
      • ruaok
        I'll let you hack on that.
      • brianfreud
        lol, ok
      • be nice if that cpan module ever had its outstanding bugs fixed :(
      • ruaok
        chromatic just got axed from oreilly. maybe he'll have time. :)
      • brianfreud
        ouch
      • would be nice to see these 4 closed... http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=3... 33568 27850 and 2358

      • jerndoe_
        kurros: on the add album page (through plugin) the first track says something about array..
      • Midness has quit
      • should I just change it including the time?
      • kurros
        it can be quirky sometimes, yes make sure the add release page is correct
      • brianfreud
        navap: Text::WikiFormat != MediaWiki / moinmoin
      • navap
        oh..whoopr
      • brianfreud
        lol, it's just a markup parser cpan module :P
      • navap
        whoops, Thats lust formatting isn't it?...they kind of do hand in hand dont they?
      • brianfreud
        it's what's used for annotations
      • navap files a new bug :p
      • navap
        /enhancement actually
      • Should thi be on UV then?
      • this*
      • jerndoe_
        well, this could take some time..
      • thanks for your time.. I'll try and fool around with it..

        navap: how is what you're talking about different from the user's page in mediawiki?
      • navap
        Is this what you would want to show up as youyp "bio" oh youp mb profile? http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/BrianFreud
      • Its a little lengthy :p
      • brianfreud
        no. I would rather have a link from my profile page to my mediawiki page
      • navap
        wow, bad typing
      • drsaunde joined the channel
      • jerndoe_ has quit
      • Yes, but looking at, http://brianfreud.info:3001/user/profile/brianf..., I can see that youy have taken the time to not only link to your wiki page, but to also create a concise bio.
      • brianfreud
        yes - the one's a bio, the other's a userpage, in my mind
      • navap
        Exactly, hence using User:BrianFreud/bio instead of User:BrianFreud
      • But, it allows the data to be in the same place - on the wiki.
      • ruaok
      • for the other changes, why not pull a git copy yourself and submit patches to acid2 ?
      • navap
        Use brianfreud's page, its a little longer, can you add a little margin-top to the H3s?
      • ruaok
        brianfreud: do you just want to pick up where I left off?
      • navap
        nikki: ping?
      • brianfreud
        ruaok: well, or you can keep tweaking :) I think I'd have to add in text:wiki support in the controller... hopefully i can just crib it from the annotations controller :P
      • ruaok
        I think our pages are about the same right now.
      • I'll leave it in your capable hands.
      • I'l go back to finishing music news
      • brianfreud
        lol, ok
      • btw, navap, just thrown together quickly, here's what text:wikiformat would let me do in a bio: http://brianfreud.info/brianfreud.html
      • navap
        Ya, I understand the benefits, if I had bothered to read the phrase "text:wikiformat" slowly I would have got it :p
      • brianfreud
        ah, lol, gotcha
      • nikki
        navap: pong
      • navap
        Almost done replying on trac now :p
      • nikki
        no
      • oh
      • navap
        I meant I was almost..
      • nikki
        that wasn't a question
      • navap
        Its there
      • Muz

        any perl people around?
      • ruaok raises his hand
      • Muz
        Depending on what it is, maybe
      • brianfreud
        ah, think I figured it out... trying to adapt the annotation code to bios
      • Muz turns off the Xbox and curls into bed.
      • navap
        Does renaming a release that has an open merge edit, cause any adverse effects? Or should the merge go through first?
      • ruaok
        the latter
      • navap
      • ruaok
        should go through in 20 minutes.
      • navap
        Thanks
