| [11:43:38] | <mstenta> | Hi andygraybeal :-) |
| [11:43:54] | <mstenta> | farmOS Beta 4 is out! |
| [11:44:04] | <mstenta> | And I've already started Beta 5 |
| [12:23:10] | * digdug1 has joined #farmos |
| [12:24:15] | <digdug1> | hi |
| [12:24:15] | <farmBOT> | ni hao |
| [12:35:19] | <mstenta> | hi digdug1 |
| [12:35:24] | <mstenta> | how's it going? |
| [12:35:31] | <mstenta> | welcome to #farmOS |
| [12:42:29] | <digdug1> | hi. going good. how are you? |
| [12:43:24] | <digdug1> | sorry had to step out for a min |
| [12:47:32] | <digdug1> | I have a questions about areas and taxonomy in farmos |
| [12:51:00] | <digdug1> | is it possible to link a lets say a row/bed or greenhouse to a property? |
| [12:54:17] | <digdug1> | basically make a row/bed a sub entry for a property so that info put in the row/bed area shows on the property area. like plantings, inputs, etc. |
| [13:04:49] | <mstenta> | hey! sorry stepped away for a moment myself |
| [13:05:12] | <digdug1> | cool |
| [13:05:24] | <mstenta> | to answer your question: yes! (sort of) |
| [13:05:29] | <mstenta> | you can arrange areas hierarchically |
| [13:05:42] | <mstenta> | so you can assign a row/bed as a child area of your property |
| [13:06:03] | <mstenta> | (or of a particular field, or even of another row/bed - it's very flexible) |
| [13:06:05] | <digdug1> | thats what i was thinking |
| [13:06:43] | <digdug1> | ok give me a sec to browse there |
| [13:07:00] | <mstenta> | i say "sort of", because right now arranging hierarchically is mainly just for organization... it doesn't "do" anything yet... |
| [13:07:23] | <digdug1> | ok i see |
| [13:07:29] | <mstenta> | by "do" i mean, for example, it doesn't show plantings from child areas in a parent area... or something like that |
| [13:07:37] | <mstenta> | we could add that feature, but it doesn't do that right now |
| [13:08:07] | <digdug1> | yeah thats pretty much what i'm talking about. |
| [13:08:25] | <mstenta> | to change the hierarchy of areas (assuming you are running the latest farmOS) - go to /farm/areas, and click "change" next to "Hierarchy" |
| [13:08:40] | <digdug1> | so how would the weights work to kind of head in that direction? |
| [13:08:46] | <mstenta> | that will bring you to the standard Drupal taxonomy hierarchy edit form for the farm_areas vocabulary, so you can rearrange them like you would any other vocabulary |
| [13:09:01] | <mstenta> | weights? |
| [13:09:20] | <mstenta> | or do you mean parents? |
| [13:09:28] | <digdug1> | in admin/structure/taxonomy/farm_areas |
| [13:09:42] | <digdug1> | or am i in the wrong place? |
| [13:10:01] | <mstenta> | ok yea... so the weights in that page are simply for arranging the areas in an arbitrary order (so they aren't just alphabetical which is the default) |
| [13:10:41] | <digdug1> | oh ok. |
| [13:10:52] | <mstenta> | the "weights" in that page are actually core Drupal... for managing taxonomies in general ... not farmOS specific |
| [13:11:02] | <mstenta> | we are using the taxonomy system to represent areas |
| [13:11:29] | <digdug1> | ok |
| [13:11:30] | <mstenta> | (although this might change in the future: https://www.drupal.org/node/2363393) |
| [13:11:55] | <mstenta> | the benefit of using taxonomy for areas was that we got the ability to arrange them hierarchically out-of-the-box |
| [13:12:15] | <mstenta> | and the ability to create them on-the-fly from log records |
| [13:12:44] | <mstenta> | (so you could, for example, add a new "Activity" log and associate it with an area that doesn't exist yet - and that area will be created for you in the background) |
| [13:15:18] | <mstenta> | do you want to brainstorm a little about the feature you had in mind? |
| [13:16:51] | <digdug1> | ok I couldnt find hierarchy. it was farm> areas> row/bed> edit> relations. Then i put it under MyFarm CSA |
| [13:17:28] | <mstenta> | go to the farm dashboard, then click the Areas tab - that's where you'll find the hierarchy link |
| [13:17:33] | <digdug1> | thought i was loosing my mind lol |
| [13:17:37] | <mstenta> | :-) |
| [13:17:56] | <mstenta> | also... what version of farmOS are you using? that would help... i've been moving some things around lately |
| [13:18:06] | <mstenta> | make sure we're talking about the same things :-) |
| [13:18:51] | <mstenta> | i'm doing a bunch of nice UI work on beta5 right now |
| [13:19:01] | <mstenta> | i think it will be a lot better |
| [13:19:27] | <digdug1> | um not sure. its a fresh install from yesterday but not the dev version. i think beta4 |
| [13:19:35] | <mstenta> | great! :-) |
| [13:19:43] | <mstenta> | that has all the new Openlayers stuff |
| [13:19:53] | <digdug1> | yeah i noticed that. |
| [13:20:08] | <mstenta> | (beta5 is what i'm working on now... not released yet... end of the month probably...) |
| [13:20:41] | <digdug1> | i broke beta3 after a core update and just scrapped it and started fresh |
| [13:21:49] | <digdug1> | after that i decided to start learning drush yesterday and so far so good. |
| [13:23:28] | <mstenta> | cool |
| [13:23:42] | <mstenta> | sorry to hear beta3 broke it :-( |
| [13:23:53] | <digdug1> | it happens |
| [13:24:06] | <mstenta> | if you ever hit an issue during upgrade, let me know! i want to make sure the upgrades work smoothly |
| [13:24:18] | <digdug1> | i have bad luck with drupal update |
| [13:24:20] | <mstenta> | we can file an issue and fix it |
| [13:24:43] | <mstenta> | yea... it usually works pretty smoothly, but it helps to know the ins-and-outs sometimes :-) |
| [13:25:02] | <mstenta> | sometimes weird things happen and fixing it requires some knowledge |
| [13:25:34] | <mstenta> | but like i said, my goal is to avoid those weird things... so i try to test the upgrade paths before releasing |
| [13:25:46] | <mstenta> | sometimes i miss things though |
| [13:26:08] | <digdug1> | understand |
| [13:26:24] | <mstenta> | you picked a good time to start using farmOS, though! things are going to explode over the next few months |
| [13:26:31] | <mstenta> | i have a lot of plans :-) |
| [13:27:24] | <digdug1> | i'm glad to hear that. the farm community needs projects like this. |
| [13:28:03] | <mstenta> | where are you located? and what kind of farm? if you don't mind my asking... |
| [13:31:06] | <digdug1> | i'm looking around right now but there was a link that was broken i noticed yesterday. i'll find it eventually but instead of following a path of localhost/farm/admin it goes to localhost/admin or something |
| [13:31:36] | <mstenta> | ok yea if you find it again let me know |
| [13:31:52] | <mstenta> | if you have a drupal.org account, you can file issues here: http://drupal.org/project/issues/farm |
| [13:32:02] | <digdug1> | I'm in TN. right now it's not really a farm but its in the works. |
| [13:32:08] | <mstenta> | (as well as feature requests, questions, etc) |
| [13:32:41] | <digdug1> | ok sounds good |
| [13:32:42] | <mstenta> | cool! i've driven through TN a few times... |
| [13:32:59] | <digdug1> | yeah i love it here |
| [13:33:35] | <mstenta> | FYI: there are a number of different "projects" for farmOS (list here: http://drupal.org/project/farm), but if you're not sure where the issue should go, just add it to the main "farm" issue queue and i'll move it as needed |
| [13:34:03] | <mstenta> | I have to sign off... my cousin's wedding is this afternoon, so I've got to get going. |
| [13:34:19] | <mstenta> | Talk to you later perhaps! |
| [13:34:44] | <digdug1> | cool have fun & be good. |
