[19:00:19]<farmBOT>@farmOS@fosstodon.org => #farmOS 3.3.2 has been released! https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS/releases/3.3.2 => https://fosstodon.org/@farmOS/113517858291218955
[07:30:14]<mstenta[m]>symbioquine: I was just dusting off some old issues and found this again https://www.drupal.org/project/farm/issues/3196844
[07:30:44]<mstenta[m]>I wonder if Asset Link might be a place to test out some UI for "clocking in/out" on a task? 🤔
[08:07:11]<symbioquine[m]>It certainly could be...
[08:08:01]<symbioquine[m]>I guess my main question is how would we know what logs that UI should appear for?
[08:09:06]<symbioquine[m]>Ideally there would be some mechanism/heuristic for only showing the clocking in/out UI for the "right kind" of logs 🤔 (So as to not clutter the UI for the rest of them)
[08:49:17]<mstenta[m]>Maybe it's a little unobtrusive icon that opens a separate page/view with more options? My assumption is that the farm_quantity_time module would be optional and only enabled if time tracking is desired. But beyond that I think it's hard to predict which types of logs users will want to track time on (unless we add a setting for that 🤔).
[08:49:37]<mstenta[m]>In either case, I think the bigger question is: do we want to merge that time quantity type without any supporting UI in farmOS itself?
[08:49:52]<mstenta[m]>The lack of UI is what's blocking it now
[08:50:52]<mstenta[m]>(Specifically, "clocking in" would create a quantity of type time which references the user ID that clocked in, and when "clocking out" it saves the total time spent to the quantity)
[08:51:35]<mstenta[m]>This feature hasn't come up recently, so it isn't something I'm prioritizing right now... I was just reviewing old issues and that one stuck out as one that's relatively close
[08:53:39]<symbioquine[m]>mstenta[m]: I'm in favor of merging it once we're happy with the data model bits themselves.
[08:54:09]<symbioquine[m]>Especially if we're considering experimenting in contrib-land with the UI
[08:54:38]<mstenta[m]>Cool - well I think the data model bits are ready
[08:54:58]<mstenta[m]>We could add the experimental flag to it to make it clear that it's not necessarily ready for wide use
[08:55:00]<symbioquine[m]>mstenta[m]: I've actually been waiting for this since I have some small engines that I use a time-tracking app for tracking hours on - that really should be in farmOS.
[08:55:29]<mstenta[m]>Oh cool
[08:56:07]<mstenta[m]>I'm realizing that there are a few "merge requests" on drupal.org issues that have slipped between the cracks, since we mostly use Github PRs... so maybe worth converting them to PRs
[08:56:13]<mstenta[m]>We could consider lining this one up for 3.4.0
[10:21:28]<symbioquine[m]>Sadly I'll be missing the dev call today 😮‍💨
[10:23:35]<mstenta[m]>You will be missed symbioquine !

[17:03:28]<Juliet[m]>hey farmOS chat :)
[17:03:28]<Juliet[m]>I'm here because i'm having a forum issue. I have to post notes from today's convention call to the forum, but I'm a "new" poster and can't get more than 2 links in.
[17:04:04]<Juliet[m]>Is there a setting that can bypass this? or should I try to pull out my links?
[17:29:30]<mstenta[m]>Juliet: Ah! I can probably fix that by raising your trust level!
[17:29:59]<mstenta[m]>Unfortunately I'm out and don't have forum log in on my phone :-(
[18:38:15]<mstenta[m]>Give it a try now Juliet :-)
