[10:21:18 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> very helpful
[10:21:31 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> lol
[10:21:49 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yeah the *UserLayoutStore classes are a ... bit ugly

[12:48:35 EDT(-0400)] <erik-uci> hey there folks
[12:48:46 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> hello
[12:48:52 EDT(-0400)] <erik-uci> has anyone played with adminproxyservlet on up3?
[12:49:21 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> nope, we'
[12:49:23 EDT(-0400)] <erik-uci> it's doing weird stuff compared to when running it on 2.x
[12:49:37 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> we're actually in progress of porting our id and attribute swapper portlets to up3 right now
[12:49:59 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I think the plan is to include them in a future release, they provide a bit more functionality than the admin proxy servlet
[12:50:09 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> though I've only seen a demo of it and never used it myself
[12:50:11 EDT(-0400)] <erik-uci> ok
[12:50:47 EDT(-0400)] <erik-uci> so for now, we pretty much have to switch the security from our custom sso to the included cas if we want to get in as the layout owners?
[12:51:03 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> no
[12:51:08 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> well
[12:51:15 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> you can look at the default config
[12:51:24 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> it allows you do get in as local users
[12:51:29 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> you just have to know the URL
[12:51:47 EDT(-0400)] <erik-uci> oh ok... like Login?userName=&password=
[12:51:49 EDT(-0400)] <erik-uci> ?
[12:51:49 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> /uPortal/Login?userName=admin&password=admin
[12:51:52 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[12:51:54 EDT(-0400)] <erik-uci> gotcha
[12:51:56 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> not the easiest way
[12:51:57 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> but it works
[12:52:36 EDT(-0400)] <erik-uci> trying it now 
[12:53:35 EDT(-0400)] <erik-uci> awesome... thanks eric
[12:53:42 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yup
[13:04:47 EDT(-0400)] * colinclark (n=colin@ginger.caret.cam.ac.uk) has joined ##uportal
[13:09:05 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> gah, webflow is so interesting yet so frustrating at the same time!
[13:15:02 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> agreed!
[13:16:14 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I'm getting weird issues where sometimes the portlet just doesn't render anything
[13:18:41 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> when it does render it works great though 
[13:40:46 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> hrm ... so my initial view is always blank
[13:40:53 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> if I hit refresh I get what I expect
[13:40:56 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> and I'm fine after that
[14:55:02 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> hm is this for web flow?
[14:55:51 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[14:55:55 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> looking through the code righ tnow
[14:56:15 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> for some reason when it is doing the start it doesn't actuall render a view
[14:56:19 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> but it does for resume
[14:56:25 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I think I've found why though
[14:56:40 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> need to do more digging but it might be trying to do a http based redirect during a portlet render
[14:59:29 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> sweet!
[14:59:30 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> ok
[14:59:31 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> so
[14:59:43 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> the default setting for WF is to do a redirect on pausing the state machine
[14:59:58 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> but this fails, with just a blank screen, for portlets
[15:00:02 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> since you can't redirect from a view
[15:00:14 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> so your flow executor needs to look like:
[15:00:15 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> <webflow:flow-execution-attributes> <webflow:always-redirect-on-pause value="false" /> </webflow:flow-execution-attributes>
[15:00:22 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> <webflow:flow-executor id="flowExecutor">
[15:00:23 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> <webflow:flow-execution-attributes>
[15:00:23 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> <webflow:always-redirect-on-pause value="false" />
[15:00:23 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> </webflow:flow-execution-attributes>
[15:00:23 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> </webflow:flow-executor>
[15:00:39 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> once I get back from my meeting I'm going to go suggest better logging about that :/
[15:40:09 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> ooh, good to know
[15:40:21 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> i still need to make that channel thing work enough to hand it off to someone else
[15:41:40 EDT(-0400)] * jessm (n=Jess@rrcs-70-63-141-143.midsouth.biz.rr.com) has joined ##uportal
[15:56:28 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> did you make any progress on a wiki page?
[15:56:39 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I have a bunch of requirements and ideas floating around in my head for it
[16:05:42 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yay ... fixing that property makes webflow my friend
[16:06:05 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I'm such a CS geek finding so much joy in being able to write FSMs for my web ui

[16:23:22 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> quick html question
[16:23:36 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> how do I make a radio button so the text next to it can be clicked on to select the button
[16:23:44 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I seem to remember their being a non JS way of doing that
[16:24:01 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> labels?
[16:24:47 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yes!
[16:24:50 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> thanks dstn
[16:24:57 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> n
[16:24:59 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> np*
[16:32:08 EDT(-0400)] <grimesp> Anyone know the minimum ical elements required for ical4j to be able to parse it? It seems to be more picky than Mac's iCal application or even Google Calendar. The ical4j documentation is very sadly lacking
[16:32:49 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> grimesp: no but a co-worker has used ical4j extensively, he is on vacation but I believe will be back tomorrow. if you haven't figured it out by then ping me and I'll ask him

[16:51:43 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> eric we think the ie6 fix made it into 3.0.1, right?
[16:51:51 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I think so
[16:52:08 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> ok
[16:57:04 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> making good progress with webflow now
[16:57:11 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I have a subflow returning data
[17:04:53 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> awesome
[17:08:49 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> the wf docs are a bit lacking in the action/decision area
[17:09:07 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> trying to figure out how to pick a view-state based on the results of an API call isn't obvious
[17:46:34 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> sweet, I have a full sub-flow for looking up a person
[17:48:52 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> http://uportal.pastebin.com/m237debfd
[17:49:43 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> and here is the primary flow that calls that subflow: http://uportal.pastebin.com/d30e7563d
[17:49:54 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> it displays the uid selected in the subflow
[17:50:19 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I'll be posting the code for the whole app tomorrow some time when its done
