| [12:26:01] | <svenn> | what kind of log type is applying pesticides by tractor with sprayer? Most likely a mixture of more than one type pesticide is applied on each run. |
| [12:29:36] | <mstenta> | hi svenn |
| [12:29:44] | <svenn> | hi |
| [12:29:44] | <farmBOT> | what's up |
| [12:29:51] | <mstenta> | input is probably what you want... |
| [12:29:59] | <mstenta> | but yea, you might want to use multiple input logs |
| [12:30:02] | <mstenta> | depending on what you're doing |
| [12:30:22] | <svenn> | I am currently trying to note down what I did this year. |
| [12:30:31] | <mstenta> | cool1 |
| [12:31:52] | <mstenta> | you could just record a very simple input log, and just describe what you did in the notes |
| [12:32:34] | <mstenta> | i like to use multiple logs myself, if i'm adding multiple different things |
| [12:33:05] | <mstenta> | but it's up to your preference - whatever is easier to refer back to later |
| [12:37:07] | <mstenta> | svenn: are you interested in adding your farm to this list? http://farmos.org/community/farms/ |
| [12:37:12] | <mstenta> | trying to get more names on there... :-) |
| [12:39:22] | <svenn> | I do not want to reveal too much details about my farm |
| [12:40:09] | <mstenta> | ok :-) |
| [12:42:07] | <svenn> | I checked out the link. Just name and country. |
| [12:42:27] | <svenn> | I would probably get loads of support questions in norwegian |
| [12:43:35] | <mstenta> | haha nah... not that many people using farmOS yet ;-) |
| [12:43:58] | <mstenta> | although that's also the purpose of that page... to show farmers that people ARE using it... |
| [12:44:56] | <mstenta> | it would be great to include Norway on the page... it's nice to also show that farmOS is not just a tool for farmers in the United States |
| [12:49:20] | <svenn> | haven't yet decided if I am going to use it seriously. So far it looks pretty good. |
| [12:50:09] | <svenn> | I discovered that the kml logs from my gps can be imported nicely |
| [12:50:22] | <mstenta> | awesome! |
| [12:50:30] | <mstenta> | that's something i haven't tried myself yet |
| [12:52:21] | <mstenta> | how does it look in the map? |
| [12:52:33] | <svenn> | I upload the kml file in the file section and use "find using files field" in the geometry section |
| [12:52:42] | <svenn> | it looks splendid |
| [12:52:49] | <mstenta> | nice! |
| [12:53:07] | <svenn> | except that google map sattelite photos are seriously off |
| [12:53:10] | <svenn> | of grid |
| [12:53:23] | <svenn> | gps coordinates does not fit |
| [12:53:29] | <mstenta> | mmm yea... that's one of the things i want to work on for the official 1.0 release... |
| [12:53:37] | <mstenta> | i'm going to make the Google Maps layer optional |
| [12:53:37] | <svenn> | that is not your fault |
| [12:53:50] | <mstenta> | and try to find some other providers that can be included alongside it |
| [12:54:04] | <svenn> | I have been looking into using the wms service from norwegian map authorities |
| [12:54:26] | <svenn> | But I could not find where in your code I can switch from google maps to their service |
| [12:54:33] | <mstenta> | oh yea? do they provide a WMS URL? |
| [12:54:51] | <mstenta> | I could probably put together a module for you pretty easily |
| [12:55:07] | <svenn> | there are a couple of guys who have played with openlayers and wms |
| [12:55:10] | <svenn> | in norway |
| [12:55:12] | <mstenta> | cool |
| [12:55:27] | <svenn> | I'll check out some links here |
| [12:55:30] | <mstenta> | the NRCS Soil Survey layer that comes with the Farm Soil module is WMS |
| [12:55:41] | <mstenta> | that might provide an example to try |
| [12:56:02] | <mstenta> | http://drupal.org/project/farm_soil |
| [12:56:55] | <mstenta> | also, here is the feature request I mentioned, for making google maps optional and opening up the possibility of adding more providers: https://www.drupal.org/node/2772955 |
| [12:57:06] | <svenn> | I find that the english pages at kartverket.no are not very detailed |
| [12:57:16] | <mstenta> | it's all doable via the Openlayers module - so that feature request is specifically to add configuration options directly within farmOS |
| [12:57:54] | <mstenta> | if you enable the Openlayers UI module, you can see all of the configuration for the maps - including the Google Hybrid layer that is used in all maps |
| [12:58:07] | <mstenta> | so you can actually play around with it without writing any code |
| [12:58:40] | <mstenta> | the one thing to be aware of is that if you change configuration, it may make it more difficult to upgrade later (if the upgrade changes the same configuration) |
| [13:02:14] | <svenn> | I think I enabled the openlayers ui module. had to fight a bit with drupal, which I do not know at all |
| [13:02:37] | <mstenta> | yea, Drupal takes some getting used to... but once you get the hang of it it's very powerful |
| [13:05:34] | <svenn> | I was trying to configure the way dates are shown. Not easy |
| [13:06:05] | <svenn> | aug 10 2016 is 10 aug 2016 here |
| [13:06:10] | <mstenta> | oh ok |
| [13:06:37] | <mstenta> | i'll add that to the 1.0 roadmap... that would be a good thing to review |
| [13:07:07] | <mstenta> | maybe i'll add a global farmOS setting for it - because i think the date formatting might be defined in a lot of different places right now |
| [13:09:26] | <svenn> | another thing I found when importing the kml data is that importing field borders use linestring out of the box |
| [13:09:28] | <mstenta> | https://www.drupal.org/node/2782195 |
| [13:10:02] | <mstenta> | oh hmm... i wonder if that is how they are stored in the KML file itself |
| [13:10:03] | <svenn> | If I change "linestring" with "polygon" then clicking the geometry on the map show the popup |
| [13:10:09] | <mstenta> | i've uploaded KML files that created polygons |
| [13:10:23] | <svenn> | ok, I will check with my kml files |
| [13:10:31] | <mstenta> | yea, linestrings are annoying because you can't click in the middle of them |
| [13:10:37] | <mstenta> | you have to click the line itself |
| [13:10:57] | <mstenta> | yea - it could be that the KMLs are actually storing the shapes as lines instead of polygons |
| [13:11:00] | <svenn> | I'll check that on a field I havent converted |
| [13:11:20] | <mstenta> | if not, then the code that handles this is in the Geocoder module |
| [13:11:51] | <svenn> | I found you are right about clicking on the line |
| [13:12:30] | <mstenta> | cool - yea it helps to know that trick... but it's still annoying - better to use polygons |
| [13:13:44] | <svenn> | ok, I verified with the kml file that the perimeter is using the <LineString> tag |
| [13:13:57] | <mstenta> | ah ok |
| [13:14:15] | <mstenta> | what did you use to create the KML file originally? |
| [13:14:17] | <svenn> | this is an avmap farmnavigator gps solution I use |
| [13:14:23] | <mstenta> | ok |
| [13:14:30] | <svenn> | they provide stuff in kmz files |
| [13:14:35] | <mstenta> | cool |
| [13:14:48] | <svenn> | so I just have to extract the kml file |
| [13:15:08] | <svenn> | I haven't tried to upload a kmz file. I'll try that now |
| [13:15:16] | <mstenta> | you can upload kmz files... it will extract them automatically |
| [13:15:25] | <mstenta> | (i actually contributed that patch to the Geocoder module myself) |
| [13:16:25] | <svenn> | well, kmz didn't seem to unpack |
| [13:17:06] | <svenn> | find using file field did not result in a list of coordinates |
| [13:20:33] | <svenn> | but I'll have to extract the kml anyway to change the linestring to polygon as pressing the find in files field will overwrite the perimeter |
| [13:21:09] | <mstenta> | oops! i forgot it's time for the farmOS monthly call! |

| [13:25:11] | <andyGee> | mike bro.. hey i work at farmers market twice a week now! |
| [13:25:42] | <andyGee> | some of the farmers are looking for a federated way to have restaurants and other clients log in to a platform and be able to search and find produce. |
| [13:25:45] | <andyGee> | and meat |
| [13:25:51] | <andyGee> | i wonder if this is possible with farmos |
| [13:26:34] | <andyGee> | i remember talking about this long time ago with you like forever ago when i had a tool business. |
| [13:26:45] | <svenn> | I forgot I have to go home and eat. |
| [13:27:50] | <mstenta> | hi andyGee ! awesome! |
| [13:28:12] | <mstenta> | i'm currently in the farmOS monthly call... brb |
| [13:28:21] | <mstenta> | talk to you later svenn ! |
