[09:23:41]<mstenta[m]>Hi József Somogyi
[09:25:02]<mstenta[m]>> Question: If I have an area, and within this area the borders of the different cultures will change from season to season - how should I set this up? The areas are "steady", I cannot archive them like plantings and set up new ones.
[09:25:02]<mstenta[m]>Yes this is a limitation of farmOS 1.x. Areas cannot be archived so they are more or less "permanent"
[09:25:21]<mstenta[m]>This changes in farmOS 2.x... all areas become new types of assets
[09:25:44]<mstenta[m]>So: rest assured that when you eventually upgrade to 2.x that capability will become available :-)
[09:26:42]<JzsefSomogyi[m]>Okay :) and how would you manage this in the current version?
[09:27:25]<mstenta[m]>> By logs it is possible to define custom geometry, but then I would have to define new geometry each time I log something.
[09:27:25]<mstenta[m]>I'm not sure I understand this part, can you rephrase?
[09:27:58]<mstenta[m]>What situation are you trying to model specifically?
[09:28:45]<mstenta[m]>For what it's worth we hope to release farmOS 2.x this year
[09:29:31]<mstenta[m]>So if you want to draw your polygons as areas now, and you migrate to 2.x before next season, you'll be able to archive them then
[09:33:52]<JzsefSomogyi[m]>ACTION < https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/xCaWwQgcSzVUUQQV... >
[09:36:21]<symbioquine[m]>That's how I do it for my use-case at the moment;
[09:36:28]<symbioquine[m]>ACTION uploaded an image: (1025KiB) < https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/uztGGEbDiOzkMHkD... >
[09:37:30]<symbioquine[m]>The beds are modeled with areas, but the plantings within those areas are modeled via the seeding/transplating logs and are variable by year/season
[09:37:35]<mstenta[m]>József Somogyi are you familiar with how movements/location of assets work in farmOS?
[09:37:39]<mstenta[m]>https://farmos.org/guide/location/
[09:41:28]<mstenta[m]>What symbioquine describes is the recommended way to model seasonal plantings in permanent beds
[09:42:51]<mstenta[m]>If your beds will change next year I would still recommend adding them as "areas" in farmOS 1.x
[09:43:31]<JzsefSomogyi[m]>here is what I mean

[09:44:30]<JzsefSomogyi[m]>In this case it is simple, we will have more complicated arrangements
[09:49:27]<mstenta[m]>Ok so what I would do here is have a single area for the overall "field", and then when you create planting assets with seeding logs, draw the specific geometry in the seeding log
[09:49:38]<mstenta[m]>Then the Planting will have a specific geometry
[09:50:01]<mstenta[m]>And the Plantings can be archived at the end of 2021, and new ones created in 2022
[09:50:22]<mstenta[m]>You can even create your 2022 Planting assets and seeding logs ahead of time if you want... and just leave the logs marked as "not done"
[10:34:14]<JzsefSomogyi[m]><mstenta[m] "Ok so what I would do here is ha"> That will work. Thank you very much for your kind support!! 🙂
[10:34:30]<mstenta[m]>My pleasure!
