| [07:16:16] | * farmBOT has joined #farmos |
| [11:04:25] | <symbioquine[m]> | I feel like we've talked about this before, but the birth quickform doesn't really work for hatching creatures since the parents generally aren't known. |
| [11:05:15] | <mstenta[m]> | Ah yea - I forget if we have or not 🤔 |
| [11:05:28] | <mstenta[m]> | We could make the parent fields optional for that use case |
| [11:05:58] | <mstenta[m]> | Just need to review the logic to see if/where those parent fields get used in validation/submit |
| [11:05:59] | <symbioquine[m]> | Then we'd also need the animal type to be specifiable too. |
| [11:06:05] | <mstenta[m]> | Ah |
| [11:06:08] | <symbioquine[m]> | yeah |
| [11:07:30] | <mstenta[m]> | Maybe we add a checkbox like "Reference parents", which makes the parent fields required and visible (using form api #states), and if it's unchecked then an Animal type field becomes visible+required |
| [11:08:17] | <symbioquine[m]> | I only need to create 16 so I'll probably just do it by hand this time 😮💨 |
| [11:08:34] | <mstenta[m]> | CSV import? |
| [11:08:46] | <symbioquine[m]> | Yeah, maybe worth it |
| [11:09:09] | <symbioquine[m]> | Might also be an argument for a "Bulk animal creation" quickform or Asset Link plugin... |
| [11:09:10] | <mstenta[m]> | One for animal assets and one for birth log(s) |
| [11:09:41] | <symbioquine[m]> | Lots of times it's probably not an actual birth that's being recorded when animals are being brought onto a farm. |
| [11:09:45] | <mstenta[m]> | (or perhaps you don't need a birth log...) |
| [11:09:56] | <symbioquine[m]> | mstenta[m]: hard to say |
| [11:10:03] | <mstenta[m]> | Yea... CSV is probably the best way to do it currently |
| [11:10:20] | <mstenta[m]> | (Same if you're setting up farmOS for the first time and creating existing animals) |
| [11:10:59] | <symbioquine[m]> | mstenta[m]: Though Ideally you'd be bringing in data from a spreadsheet or paper records in that case. |
| [11:11:08] | <symbioquine[m]> | s/Ideally/ideally/ |
| [11:12:12] | <mstenta[m]> | symbioquine[m]: Congrats on the new babies 😄 |
| [11:12:54] | <symbioquine[m]> | Oh yeah, well actually catching up on last year's records 😅 |
| [11:13:14] | <mstenta[m]> | Ah yess... I have some of that todo too... |
| [11:13:37] | <symbioquine[m]> | We hatched 5 ducks with my experimental incubator and bought 11 ducklings shipped to us |
| [11:13:56] | <mstenta[m]> | Cool! |
| [11:14:25] | <symbioquine[m]> | We have 11 of those left (3 were boys and 2 died as chicks) and they're just starting to lay so I'm trying to keep better track of the egg production vs feed on them and our older flock... |
| [11:14:47] | <symbioquine[m]> | The older flock has 4 girls and 1 boy left |
| [11:15:10] | <symbioquine[m]> | (Probably more info than you needed) |
| [11:15:41] | <mstenta[m]> | Always fun to hear what others are up to :-) |
| [11:16:36] | <mstenta[m]> | i'm updating all the farmOS databases I host to PostgreSQL 17 |
| [11:16:50] | <mstenta[m]> | ahead of v4 |
| [11:17:19] | <mstenta[m]> | and other misc sysadmin chores |
| [11:17:52] | <symbioquine[m]> | It's definitely feeling like "get ready for Spring" time! |
| [11:18:20] | <mstenta[m]> | I wish I could say I felt the same here. |
| [11:18:34] | <mstenta[m]> | Still a thick blanket of snow covering everything. |
| [11:19:07] | <mstenta[m]> | Although the temperatures will break 30 F this week during the day, so that will be nice! 😅 |
| [11:19:35] | <mstenta[m]> | Still single digits at night... the polar air has been spilling over us for longer than usual |
| [14:38:59] | <mstenta[m]> | symbioquine: I started a branch to declare support for farmOS 4.x in farmOS_asset_link |
| [14:39:00] | <mstenta[m]> | https://github.com/symbioquine/farmOS_asset_link/compare/release...msten... |
| [14:39:24] | <mstenta[m]> | But there doesn't seem to be an option for opening a pull request |
| [15:05:44] | <symbioquine[m]> | <mstenta[m]> "But there doesn't seem to be..." <- Ah, weird. That's not intentional. |
| [15:06:16] | <mstenta[m]> | Oh! I see why... |
| [15:06:43] | <mstenta[m]> | By default it set the "base" branch to release instead of development in that link I shared above |
| [15:06:51] | <mstenta[m]> | Changing it to development lets me open a PR! |
| [15:12:09] | <mstenta[m]> | https://github.com/symbioquine/farmOS_asset_link/pull/49 |
| [15:30:27] | <symbioquine[m]> | https://github.com/symbioquine/farmOS_asset_link/blob/b5ac59dbf61726731b... |
| [15:30:46] | <mstenta[m]> | Ahh |
| [15:30:48] | <symbioquine[m]> | I can update and test soon though... |
| [15:31:31] | <mstenta[m]> | Are there any other contrib modules you depend on that need 4.x compatible releases? |
