[23:11:03]* symbioquine[m] has joined #farmos
[23:11:03]<symbioquine[m]><mstenta[m]> "What do you think? Does it..." <- Yes, potentially. Will reply with more detailed thoughts in the morning...
[09:31:30]<symbioquine[m]>> 1. marking planned logs as completed
[09:31:30]<symbioquine[m]>Some rudimentary log viewing/manipulation is already possible in Asset Link via these plugins: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Asymbioquine%2FfarmOS_asset_link+path%...
[09:31:30]<symbioquine[m]>That includes [MarkLogCompletedActionProvider.alink.vue](https://github.com/symbioquine/farmOS_asset_link/blob/299ae63e54cad58a70...) which does what you'd probably expect.
[09:31:40]<symbioquine[m]>ACTION uploaded an image: (42KiB) < https://matrix.org/oftc/media/v1/media/download/Aeh4Bshe2EdMR7k4p5vcl8U6... >
[09:33:05]<symbioquine[m]>The main thing that's probably missing for that first one is navigation to/between the logs that need to be marked as completed. A dedicated page that provides a list of only the grazing logs might be an option...
[09:33:51]<symbioquine[m]>Or maybe there's some core improvements that could also make it easier. (happy to brainstorm that if there's interest)
[09:33:58]<mstenta[m]>Cool!
[09:34:24]<symbioquine[m]>* some core Asset Link UX improvements that
[09:34:28]<mstenta[m]>Yea I was thinking maybe a grazing plan specific plugin would be a nice project for the students too.
[09:34:43]<mstenta[m]>Right now Asset Link displays a button on assets... would it be relatively easy to add one to the grazing plan page do you think?
[09:34:55]<symbioquine[m]>> 2. rescheduling one log and automatically shifting all following log timestamps accordingly
[09:34:55]<symbioquine[m]>This kind of pushes me towards the idea of some sort of dedicated page that can help you reschedule and visualize the rescheduling as you're doing it.
[09:35:28]<symbioquine[m]>mstenta[m]: Do you mean inside Asset Link or in the farmOS UI?
[09:35:42]<mstenta[m]>In the farmOS UI
[09:36:47]<mstenta[m]>I see that the asset page button links to /alink/asset/5 - curious if it might be possible to explore another path for /alink/plan/X, for example?
[09:37:50]<mstenta[m]>Maybe I'm blowing up the scope a little? 😅
[09:38:28]<symbioquine[m]>Should be possible, requires a small [modification to Asset Link itself](https://github.com/symbioquine/farmOS_asset_link/blob/299ae63e54cad58a70...), then a slew of little plugins similar to the ones I linked above for logs...
[09:39:10]<mstenta[m]>Cool, well yea maybe that's a next step too...
[09:39:14]<symbioquine[m]>But it might be easier to make something grazing plan specific for managing the logs.
[09:39:24]<mstenta[m]>I could imagine just adding some plugins to the Sheep Herd asset itself if it's part of a grazing plan
[09:39:46]<symbioquine[m]>That's definitely an option
[09:40:18]<mstenta[m]>I'm trying to imagine the workflow... (cc botlfarm ) eg: maybe you load up the herd on your phone, then when you go out to move them you see some new options in the asset link page for that herd, which relate to the plan.
[09:40:19]<symbioquine[m]>Or a button at the top Asset Link toolbar that appears if the grazing plan module is enabled.
[09:40:28]<symbioquine[m]>(maybe both)
[09:41:04]<mstenta[m]>> These two use-cases were specifically mentions:... (full message at <https://matrix.org/oftc/media/v1/media/download/AfHxtAEFVFubCMQ4YQsWjgL0...)
[09:41:50]<mstenta[m]>So... walking out to a paddock with goats in it... you load up the goats asset link page on your phone... and maybe it has some quick options specifically for those two cases
[09:43:12]<symbioquine[m]>I think that would be a good place to start
[09:43:13]<mstenta[m]>On a different/related topic... botlfarm shared this issue with me: https://github.com/symbioquine/farmOS_asset_link/issues/44
[09:44:13]<mstenta[m]>I commented on it - curious to see if there's an easy solution
[09:52:42]<symbioquine[m]>Replied
[09:54:48]<symbioquine[m]><symbioquine[m]> "I think that would be a good..." <- I'd be happy to collaborate on this stuff in a light-weight way. It would really help to get more folks finding the rough edges in Asset Link. Also I can provide insight into what parts of Asset Link I'm considering changing/breaking in the near future 😅
[09:55:22]<mstenta[m]>Awesome!
[09:55:34]<mstenta[m]>Maybe we can invite the students to a dev call.
[10:01:58]<symbioquine[m]>Sounds good
[10:02:22]<mstenta[m]>I'll suggest that
[11:24:08]<symbioquine[m]>Actually something's come up with our childcare strategy and I can't make the dev call today 🫠
[11:25:38]<symbioquine[m]>I could maybe do later in the day or some other alternate day/time.
[11:26:00]<mstenta[m]>Oh no worries!
[11:26:10]<mstenta[m]>I didn't expect to meet with the students this week - too short notice.
[11:27:10]<symbioquine[m]>If we wanted to start a forum thread on the subject, I could lay some groundwork input asynchronously.
[11:42:51]<symbioquine[m]><symbioquine[m]> "Should be possible, requires a..." <- Opened https://github.com/symbioquine/farmOS_asset_link/issues/48 to track the modification to Asset Link itself
