[11:00:40 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> hashing out the tabs in uPortal 3 always seems to take FOREVER
[11:00:45 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I can get them looking good
[11:00:53 EDT(-0400)] <athena> agreed
[11:00:54 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> but then jQuery doesn't seem to return the right offset info
[11:00:56 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i hate those
[11:01:03 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> and I've dug through the jquery docs
[11:01:12 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I don't really see better ways to get offset
[11:01:18 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I suppose we could try relative positioning
[11:01:34 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> have the flyout divs be hidden inside the <li> or something
[11:01:43 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> not sure that would help though
[11:02:20 EDT(-0400)] * michelled (n=michelle@142.150.154.193) has joined ##uportal
[11:03:48 EDT(-0400)] <athena> yeah i'm not sure that's going to work
[11:04:15 EDT(-0400)] <athena> you don't want the <li>s to expand when the flyouts appear
[11:04:20 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[11:04:32 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i'd like to just look for a plugin we can re-use for those flyouts
[11:04:56 EDT(-0400)] <athena> and at this point we should be able to use bgiframe rather than handling the iframes ourself
[11:05:40 EDT(-0400)] * holdorph (n=holdorph@wsip-72-215-204-133.ph.ph.cox.net) has joined ##uportal
[11:05:47 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[11:05:54 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> but that part isn't the hard part 
[11:09:26 EDT(-0400)] <athena> well, it does complicate things
[11:09:42 EDT(-0400)] <athena> what theme are you working from?
[11:09:47 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> uportal3
[11:09:49 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> in 3.1
[11:09:55 EDT(-0400)] <athena> the 3.1 default?
[11:09:57 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[11:10:02 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i think the tabs in that changed to relative positioning
[11:10:07 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> right
[11:10:09 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> they did
[11:10:15 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> http://staging9.uc.wisc.edu/
[11:10:19 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> that is the end goal
[11:10:20 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> mostly
[11:10:29 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> the problem is the ui folks did the tabs via lots of floats
[11:10:38 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> which seems to break li.offset()
[11:10:45 EDT(-0400)] <athena> ah
[11:10:47 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> such that the flyouts are way off
[11:11:03 EDT(-0400)] <athena> so it's not using the same kind of css that the tabs use in the theme
[11:11:13 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> no
[11:11:19 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> and that's what I'm trying to do
[11:11:23 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> but it is tricky
[11:11:25 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> at least for me
[11:11:29 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I'm taking their UI
[11:11:33 EDT(-0400)] <athena> looks right now like the tabs are positioned ok horizontally, but too low vertically
[11:11:46 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> and trying to get it working by just modifying the 3.1 default css
[11:11:58 EDT(-0400)] <athena> ah, gotcha
[11:13:17 EDT(-0400)] <athena> for the page you linked
[11:13:32 EDT(-0400)] <athena> try subtracting the height of that top white bar from the vertical position
[11:13:33 EDT(-0400)] <athena> that might fix it
[11:13:42 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> it helps
[11:13:45 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> and that is going away
[11:13:51 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> adding a marging to the body is not such a good idea
[11:14:03 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> but the menus are still off by abourt 10px
[11:14:05 EDT(-0400)] <athena> yeah it's a little different
[11:14:09 EDT(-0400)] <athena> gotcha
[11:14:12 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I;ve run into this a lot dealing with the tab
[11:14:13 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> tabs
[11:14:24 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> you have to be very careful with how you position them
[11:15:45 EDT(-0400)] <athena> yeah
[11:24:01 EDT(-0400)] <athena> maybe i'll take a look at the code tonight
[11:24:09 EDT(-0400)] <athena> see if there's anything we can do about it
[11:24:24 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I'm going to just try doing the flyout as a child of the li
[11:24:31 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> you can float it
[11:24:35 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> and then position it relative to the li
[11:24:40 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> which may work better than absolute
[11:25:09 EDT(-0400)] <athena> yeah
[11:25:36 EDT(-0400)] <athena> especially now that the lis are actually relatively positioned
[11:25:53 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[11:27:05 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i think part of the reason we didn't go that route may have been some of the IE z-index stuff
[11:27:14 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> ah yeah
[11:27:24 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I'm also going to try the bgiframe plugin
[11:27:26 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> looks dead simple
[11:27:30 EDT(-0400)] <athena> yeah
[11:27:32 EDT(-0400)] <athena> definitely a good idea
[11:27:38 EDT(-0400)] <athena> and then we can only use iframes when needed
[11:27:48 EDT(-0400)] <athena> it should already be in the jquery file, i think
[11:27:54 EDT(-0400)] <athena> so it should just be there ready to use
[11:33:24 EDT(-0400)] <athena> EricDalquist: do i remember you saying you'd fixed something in the groups manager?
[11:33:31 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yes
[11:33:37 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> use the latest code from trunk
[11:33:42 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> or you can't manage channels
[11:35:11 EDT(-0400)] <athena> ok
[11:35:17 EDT(-0400)] <athena> is there a jira number for that?
[11:35:51 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I think I just tacked it on to the channel definition jpa jira
[11:36:25 EDT(-0400)] <athena> ah ok
