[10:44:21]<mstenta[m]>Anyone interested in helping with a (hopefully) straightforward bug? :-D
[10:44:25]<mstenta[m]>https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS/issues/311
[10:44:51]<mstenta[m]>It would just require a local testing instance, and some time... need to test/confirm that the issue is what I think it is... and then confirm that the fix i suggested works
[10:46:18]<mstenta[m]>(eg: install a new farmOS instance locally from scratch - check that the issue did indeed occur, then make the suggested change, and test a new install from scratch to confirm it fixes it)

[11:03:53]<kirsten-mc[m]>Howdy everyone :-)
[11:03:53]<kirsten-mc[m]>Is there a standard format for commit messages?
[11:04:46]<mstenta[m]>Hi kirsten-mc we don't have a prescriptive standard, no - but if you look back at the log of old messages you can probably get a general sense and use your best judgement :-)
[11:05:05]<mstenta[m]>I'd be happy to consider adopting a standard, as well
[11:05:31]<mstenta[m]>But generally I write commit messages so that I can read them in `git blame`s in the future :-)
[11:05:56]<symbioquine[m]>https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/
[11:06:06]<mstenta[m]>(That isn't as important for documentation, of course)
[11:06:40]<symbioquine[m]>https://git-scm.com/docs/git-commit#_discussion
[11:07:05]<symbioquine[m]>^ Those are my two favorite references - though I follow them with varying degrees of faithfulness depending on the circumstances :)
[11:07:12]<mstenta[m]>+1
[11:07:53]<mstenta[m]>I particularly like this line:
[11:07:53]<mstenta[m]>> But a well-cared for log is a beautiful and useful thing. git blame, revert, rebase, log, shortlog and other subcommands come to life.
[11:08:18]<kirsten-mc[m]>As someone who has written change logs before - good commit messages are really important for documentation!
[11:08:49]<mstenta[m]>Haha yes!! I usually write farmOS release notes by skimming the commit messages and picking out the important ones
[12:32:15]<kirsten-mc[m]>OK, pull request created. It's just your Navigation script, @mstenta - I wanted to be sure I had the workflow ok and all the bits on my machine.
[19:02:12]<paul121[m]>hey all, I have a Drupal Views question..
[19:03:21]<paul121[m]>using the Views UI I created a custom view that lists Activity Logs meeting a certain criteria (logs that are `done` and in a certain category)
[19:03:51]<paul121[m]>I'm able to add this view to the farmOS dashboard using `hook_dashboard_panes`
[19:04:14]<paul121[m]> * using the Views UI I created a custom "block" view that lists Activity Logs meeting a certain criteria (logs that are `done` and in a certain category)
[19:05:22]<paul121[m]>now I want to add a collapsed fieldset with a custom form within this block on the dashboard
[19:06:15]<paul121[m]>do I need to use `hook_view_alter` to add this fieldset?
[19:07:14]<paul121[m]>I don't imagine I can do all this via Views UI (this form will be used to create Activity Logs meeting this criteria)
