I'll do that. :) 10:19 russ once again as long as we are consistant we can always swap it around 10:18 russ and h3 for nested questions 10:18 russ now really we should use h4 for the special tags 10:18 russ good question 10:17 russ hmm 10:11 tnb originally, it was going to be h2 and h3 10:11 tnb h4? 10:11 tnb russ: if we use h3 for the 'special' tags, then what should we use for the nested questions? 10:04 russ we are getting there slowly :-) 10:04 russ and use them to update the style guide 10:04 russ i suggest that you take the examples from this page 10:04 russ a short title should be found 10:04 russ if the title gets too long 10:03 russ i think you are right 10:03 russ cool 10:01 tnb :) 10:01 tnb I think #2 is preferable if the first line is short and descriptive, otherwise #3 10:00 tnb John likes #3 10:00 tnb ok russ. the consensus is that #1 is definitely out 09:56 tnb ok. let me take a look... 09:53 russ k 09:49 russ so you can get a little preview 09:49 russ it is pretty easy for me to slot in the icons 09:49 russ if it will help 09:49 russ three information and short title are heading - detail is text 09:48 russ two warning and first line are heading - rest of detail is text 09:48 russ one the warning is a heading - detail is text 09:47 russ 3 options for the warning/info 09:46 russ http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=reserve.pl 09:46 russ ok tnb, here is something for you and john to take a look at 09:45 tnb checking 09:45 tnb right. makes sense. i was just checkingt 09:45 tnb needed 09:45 kados originally the librarian has to set the password 09:45 tnb ok. that's what I need 09:45 kados no, can't do that 09:44 tnb wait, i know they can 'change' but i mean 'set' 09:44 kados if not, you can use liblime's templates as an example of how it works 09:44 kados yes, borrowers can change their passwords online now and I think NPL has implemented it 09:44 kados yes, we're changing reserves so staff can request specific copies 09:43 tnb I am writing documentation about this 09:43 tnb secondly, has any library implemented an option for borrowers to set their password themselves online (originally; i know they can change it themselves now 09:41 tnb ryan thought you might be 09:41 tnb firstly, are you all changing the reserves for staff to request specific copies? 09:41 tnb 2 questions 09:41 kados tnb: what's yup? 09:41 kados tn yep 09:40 tnb you have time? 09:40 tnb kados: I have questions on reserves 09:40 tnb great russ. Thanks :) 09:39 russ it will all work out 09:39 russ as long as people follow the style sheet 09:39 russ once agian they will sort themselves 09:39 russ to each question 09:38 russ so dont worry about the links at the top 09:38 russ oops bit of lag in my typing 09:37 russ docuwiki creates a nicetable fo contents for each page 09:37 russ as long as we use the headings correctly 09:37 russ we can do the same 09:37 russ so when the time comes 09:37 russ docuwiki is doing it automagically 09:37 russ you know i dont think we need to put the links at the top of the page by hand 09:35 tnb i thought you were done :) It is looking good 09:35 tnb :) 09:35 tnb yeah, I stopped 09:34 russ ah we are trying to use the same page :-) 09:33 tnb ok then. sounds good. 09:31 russ if there are people who arent adding it 09:31 russ i dont think adding the div code is going to make tht much difference 09:30 russ i think keep it basic 09:30 russ no 09:30 tnb maybe we offer two online guidelines, one for people who understand basic html, and those who don't? 09:29 tnb ok. I'm happy to add the coding part as I do it (divs, etc) if that would be helpful and since I can 09:28 tnb :) 09:28 russ that is the case 09:28 russ but yes 09:28 russ you = we 09:27 tnb but that you will add them as styles later? 09:27 tnb russ: am i to understand correctly that i don't attempt to place the icon images we agreed on, 09:26 owen Hi tnb 09:26 tnb :) 09:26 tnb owen: hi 09:26 tnb hi owen! 09:26 tnb great! 09:26 russ cool i'll put the links in now 09:26 tnb would another example work better? 09:25 tnb this page has multiple questions 09:25 russ tnb: i think it is easiest to see in an example 09:25 tnb http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=reserve.pl 09:24 tnb here's one i'm working one 09:24 russ tnb: do a page with multiple q's and i'll go through and add the links 09:24 russ sweet this works quite well 09:19 russ cool do that 09:18 tnb ok, you can go and tell me when you get back :) 09:18 tnb first, I am going to add a sample page under reserves and you tell me whether I'm doing it the way we agreed. Then we need to change the instructions in the guide slightly to be clearer 09:17 tnb ok, wait! :) 09:17 russ then i will get back to you 09:17 russ but i am going to try a little experiment 09:16 russ the short answer is yes we can do it 09:14 tnb we have to just set it up QA, QA and then pull them out for fancy stuff later 09:14 russ i'll double check 09:14 russ maybe 09:14 russ 2 secs 09:14 tnb that isn't something that we can do in the wiki, right? 09:14 russ i just need to check something in the wiki syntax 09:13 russ right 09:13 tnb ok, our other question was about multiple questions and the 'skipping' to the answers further down on the page (per John's style guide 09:13 russ just use that 09:13 russ if you are doing the reserves page 09:12 russ we can then link it in as the example of what to do 09:12 russ and use it to make a dummy page 09:12 russ is take John's style guide 09:12 russ what i suggest you do 09:12 russ then i think we will be fine 09:12 russ as long as there is a pattern that is use consitantly 09:12 tnb I don't mind div tags; depends on who we have writing documentation if they will get that or not 09:11 russ but it may turn off some people from writing docs 09:11 tnb which one would you prefer? 09:11 tnb or, i seem to remember a discussion and then you suggesting all caps on those words would allow you to wrap in divs after the fact? 09:11 russ sure we could do that 09:11 russ right i think this is something that may have been miised yseterday 09:10 tnb um, so what about wrapping answers in div class and also the warnings and information and important? Ryan and I thought we should. If so, we need to explain that on the wiki 09:10 russ so we should be able to recognise the pattern and write the script accordingly 09:09 tnb :) 09:09 russ if it does, i hope it will be the same maddness each time 09:08 russ i dont think so 09:07 tnb will using the wiki syntax for that create weirdness when we import it elsewhere? 09:07 tnb alright. So about the numbered step stuff... is this ok with you? I am doing the "reserve" page and anything involving reserves is best broken into steps i think 09:00 russ i will do a page on the wiki explaining why it is a good idea 09:00 russ sweet 09:00 tnb russ: i'm back. Everyone is getting registered. 08:52 chris ahh there he is 08:50 russ i think it will also help others to see that there are a bunch of people contributin 08:50 tnb I'll do it now... 08:50 tnb oh yeah, i got sidetracked :? 08:50 russ that way it is easier to see where changes have come from 08:50 russ can i suggest that you login and set your self up a user on the wiki? 08:49 russ yeah reading now 08:49 tnb wow. 08:49 russ whole city block 08:49 tnb russ: I want to add a blurb to the wiki about the syntax for creating numbered "steps" in an answer. Ie, to use the numbered, bulletted list in the wiki editor 08:49 russ was quite humorous - had a power cut for about an hour 08:48 russ yeah 08:48 tnb you at the hotel? 08:48 tnb Cindy is working on something else I don't understand :) 08:48 tnb I don't know what ryan is working on. 08:48 tnb john, thomas and I are. 08:47 tnb russ: we are still working on documentation. 08:45 russ ? 08:45 russ or have people moved onto different topics 08:44 russ what is happening out there? are people still working in the same groups 08:43 russ not at cmi 08:43 russ well on irc 08:43 tnb you here? 08:42 tnb i'm here russ 08:32 russ chris, tnb you around? 08:32 russ hi 08:07 chris yeah 08:06 tnb hope he's ok :/ 08:02 chris i think so 08:02 chris yes 08:00 tnb does he have a phone with him? 08:00 tnb yeah, where is russ? 07:40 tnb I am working on online help for reserves, so I'm wondering 07:40 tnb kados: you guys working on a system preference to allow reserves on specific copies? 07:08 disjuncture hmm :( 07:06 ToinS ok cool ! 07:05 chris we are making some progress with zebra 07:05 chris cool 07:05 ToinS yep 07:04 chris still working on the marc editor toinS? 07:04 kados tnb: what's up? 07:04 chris :-) 07:02 tnb you there? 07:02 tnb kados: 06:56 disjuncture ok.. i give up. no solutions on the mailing lists 06:36 disjuncture phew.. i think im going to give up 06:27 disjuncture *get 06:27 disjuncture shh i always het this: Premature end of script headers: barcodesGenerator.pl on my intranet log 06:17 chris profilePath: ${srcdir:-.}:/usr/local/share/idzebra/tab/:${srcdir:-.}/tab/ 06:16 chris profilePath: ${srcdir:-.}:/usr/share/idzebra/tab/ 06:08 disjuncture ahh great thing you're here 06:07 chris :) 06:07 chris i will just be slower to answer 06:07 chris its ok 06:07 disjuncture ohh sorry 06:07 disjuncture i have 0.3r77 06:07 chris http://www.koha.org/community/conferences/devweek.html <-- what we are doing 06:06 disjuncture i got it 06:06 chris thats how i would do it, it might work in windows from the command prompt 06:05 chris no problem 06:05 chris perl -MPDF::API2 -e 'print "$PDF::API2::VERSION\n"' 06:05 disjuncture ohh sorry 06:05 chris sorry we are in the middle of dev week here, 2 seconds 06:04 disjuncture ?? 06:02 disjuncture ok how is it done for linux 06:02 chris but not for windows 06:02 chris good question, i know the answer for linux 06:02 disjuncture ei how will i know if what version of PDF::API2 do i have?\ 06:00 disjuncture ok.. 05:59 chris darn, probably best to just email that list 05:58 disjuncture eremm no answer there :( 05:54 disjuncture alright thanks.. 05:53 chris http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/koha-win32 05:53 chris thats where the windows users hang out :) 05:53 chris maybe the koha-win32 list is a good place to ask? 05:53 disjuncture ooh,,, 05:53 disjuncture im trying to add a printer. but i donot know what parameters shall i put there. 05:52 chris ahhh sorry i know very little about windows 05:52 disjuncture it's installed with windows xp 05:52 disjuncture i am having a problem with my koha installation 05:52 disjuncture hi good day.. 05:51 chris back 04:20 chris will do 04:19 tnb ok. if you see him, tell him I'm nearly finished adding the online help content we have for admin, so he could start revising it on the wiki 04:18 chris im guessing somewher in the uni 04:18 chris well not upstairs 04:18 tnb oh 04:17 chris not here 04:17 tnb where's thomas?
