[03:30:27]* skipper_is[m] has joined #farmos
[03:30:28]<skipper_is[m]>ACTION uploaded an image: (121KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/EmapVrTTcQf... >
[03:30:35]<skipper_is[m]>Some bug seems to have developed in the last week or so in my FarmOS 1.x
[03:30:54]<skipper_is[m]>There are no more drop downs on the assets/logs etc?
[09:06:45]<mstenta[m]>Ah hmm I feel like I've run into that in the past skipper_is - I forget what the cause/fix was. Have you tried clearing the cache?
[09:06:53]<mstenta[m]>Did you make any modifications to the menu structure yourself?
[09:07:19]<skipper_is[m]>Not recently, I've not tried Clear Cache, I'll give it a whirl
[09:07:42]<mstenta[m]>Worth a shot!
[09:13:55]<skipper_is[m]>Yea, that often fixes a good number of problems! Completely forgot about that!
[09:14:04]<mstenta[m]>Oh good! It worked?
[09:15:16]<skipper_is[m]>Doing it now, and we'll see!
[09:15:59]<skipper_is[m]>It did! Clear Cache to the rescue once again!
[09:18:11]<mstenta[m]>Awesome :-)
[12:10:21]<paul121[m]>I just created a new "farmOS Community Calls" topic and pinned it globally in Discourse
[12:10:42]<paul121[m]>hopefully this can bring more attention to our monthly calls
[12:11:19]<paul121[m]>the "insert date" feature of discourse will show the call times in the user's timezone
[12:11:59]<mstenta[m]>oh great!
[12:12:15]<paul121[m]>but unfortunately the "recurring" feature is pretty basic (only weekly, monthly, etc) so we can't use it for the monthly call schedule :-/
[12:12:38]<paul121[m]>but should be simple to update that topic w/ the new date as we go forward
[12:13:38]<mstenta[m]>so does it require manual maintenance every month?
[12:13:58]<paul121[m]>yeah
[12:14:13]<paul121[m]>with link to the full call schedule 🤷
[12:14:24]<mstenta[m]>oh ok
[12:14:38]<mstenta[m]>that's helpful - but we'll definitely probably forget haha
[12:17:38]<paul121[m]>maybe we could auto-create topics....
[12:18:43]<mstenta[m]>and agenda, yea
[12:19:05]<mstenta[m]>i suppose we could end up with a lot of empty agendas though haha
[12:22:35]<paul121[m]>I hope not!!! optmistically :-)
[12:44:01]<mstenta[m]>sorry i think this is a great thing for helping folks find the calls! just wary of adding more things to maintain - knowing that if we stop then it actually does more harm than good potentially (making it look stale/unmaintained) - automating would be awesome! otherwise maybe we should just link to the monthly call page?
[12:44:40]<mstenta[m]>i wonder if a github action can create/edit forum topics! ;-)
[12:45:21]<mstenta[m]>oh you know this reminds me... i saw a FOSS project recently that had a similar approach as ours, with monthly calls... and i think they had agendas/notes committed to a github repo or something like that... i'll try to find it
