brianfreud: what is id_edit_note used for?

whereabouts?

i swear there was documentation on TrackPosition somewhere -- can't find it now.

TrackPosition?

what number a track is on the cd.

brianfreud: in root/forms/edit-note.tt

Just found it myself. Honestly, I don't know. Did I add it? I normally use hyphens, not underscores?

which I can't quite decipher:)

Oh!

I recall now....

tell me what is wrong with this:

<label for="id_[% field.name %]" class="[% field.required_text %]">[% l('Edit Note:') %]</label>

the id should be on the <textarea> not the <label> itself though

though I don't think my span addition fixed it correctly either, looking again now

yes, but it doesn't have an id - that id should be there

yea

what does it have?

i'll ignore those changes then and fix up the textarea

no id :P

<label>Text:<textarea></textarea></label> if you want to make it easy

chovy: you can't do a label for="foo" without a matching id="foo"

<label for="foo">text:</label><textarea id="foo"></textarea> if you want to do it right :)

not in valid XHTML

yes

or just wrap in <label>...</label>

but yeah, acid2, you know what the right fix is :)

shouldn't even be doing <label> should all be going through forms/label.tt

prob unconverted from when you changed the forms code the first time

yea

oh, btw... not now, but some time

would you mind updating ServerCodingStyle to explain how form.field("foo") works?

yea, sure

right now it's minor voodoo figuring out what should be in the ()

thx

heh

Form::Processor still makes me a bit icky inside, but no time to change that now

just requires a few too many hacks

but it does the job

lol, yeah, I spent maybe 5 hours trying to figure it out, to add the .foo to artist, then gave up trying to figure it out :D

what dimensions should I use for textarea.edit-note?

atm I've got 400pt by 300pt

300pt high is way too big lol

why are you defining a textarea with pts?

why not?

rows / columns

cause it's presentational

like why you prefer width css over the size element for input

ah, hadn't realized rows/columns didn't make it into css for those

Went for 400pt by 70pt

why not use em instead?

then it will scale better with differing font sizes

pt scales too

oh, maybe not

good point

just looking here with firebugmaybe height 11em, width 60em?

does it fit in 1024x768?

explicit <label> definitions also in user/subscriptions.tt , moderation/vote_options.tt , forms/label.tt

hrm, not here, I'll use 45

cool, i'll make a note of them for now

I'm only dealing with this cause it's one of the files your branch touched :)

yeah, a little too wide in 1024

just happened to be something I noticed along the way :P

that's what 99% of the master minor stuff is

heh

svn time!

wha exactly has's been merged in so far?

you'll see, just watch mb-commits

no, I mean, which checkouts?

updated master on git too

oh, I only merged TableSorting

s/checkouts/branches/

ok

jquery_updates doesn't seem to do anything, so I guess that's in

oh yea, that's in

lock/unlock is in too

bad floods?

RifRaf: :/

Floods? :/

guess so, but normal for this time of year

many people stuck at home around here

where's home?

RifRaf: at least no fire :(

alastairp yep, floods don't mean i get damage cause on a hill, just no goin to town

aCiD2 NSW australia, on the east coast, coffs harbour closest googleable town

ah

can watch the river from here though, is up about 6 meters, so better go get food if bridges still visable

6m!?

that's mad

yeah, in the hills

yep, from a normal stream is now a gushing torrent about 40 meters wide

brianfreud: only needed to merge 6 lines from master, heh

lol

I like your text::wikiformat stuff... but that's not the right approach I'm afraid :(

you've done it like annotations, which are also not doing it correctly

we should be doing [% user.biography | wiki_format %]

no? It's cribbed right from annotations :P

yea, which are saddly a bad example

heavy rain here

well, acid2, when you do it, perhaps you can also add it to edit notes?

sounds reasonable :)

well, I gotta grab some sleep now, sorry the add release stuff is not quite there, but I can't see why it wouldn't be finished before the meeting tomorrow

(even though you gotta work)

np, I ought to be home around 8 pm EST - if anyone needs me to address anything before the mtg, just pm or email me

nn!

natta :)

i have a new version of a release that just adds tracks to an existing one. is there a way to do that through the site ui without re-entering all the tracks?

does that work on perl?

"There also exist converters for profiling output of Python, PHP and PERL. "

ignore me

bignoise: not on the site itself.

I soo should greasemonkey up something to resolve that.

so just through direct db manipulation? or other tools?

EVer used the track parser on the site?

Muz: no, but i'll go have a look

http://muz.goatse.co.uk/musicbrainz/parsertext.php You can feed the MBId of the album you wan tto copy from into that, and paste the output into the track parser

This will auto populate most of the fields, and the new tracks you just fill in as per normal

Muz: Oh, btw your MBID text parser thingamalig came in *very* hand today, thanks a lot :)

sounds about right, thx

thingamajig*..or however its spelt

Okay, go to add a release as per usual and towards the top there should be some sort of box with "Configure" in the bottom right corner of it. Click that and enable the Text Parser module. Then paste the text that that page into it and hit parse.

navap: yeah, I really should finish putting the same functionality into a GM script.

Oh wow, I had so forgotten that I'd written http://muz.goatse.co.uk/musicbrainz/artisttrack...

?lookup artist Cascada

Artist: Cascada || http://musicbrainz.org/artist/04af2581-6692-4f1...

hmm that looks very handy for making sure all the tracks have the proper feat. and stuff

In/deed/.

Bear in mind that it hits up my replicated DB, so it's up to an hour of date with what's on the live site.

I fetch and process replication packets at 10 past each hour.

Thats fine, its still easier to manually look at the live track name, and have an artists complete listing, than it would be to makually search all that stuff up on the live server.

I can never stay focused on what I'm doing in mb lol, I'm about 3/4 through J K Rowling, but tomorrow I'm going to totally drop her and go looking for track names to fix :p

Heh

I really wish I had more time to code moar and do stuff that's actually useful.

Did thee gravatar support ever go into the live TT branch?

You mean besides just sitting around, playing with all your new bought toys :p
