[10:03:54 EDT(-0400)] <athena> hey EricDalquist
[10:04:21 EDT(-0400)] <athena> you'd mentioned last week that the channel manager now lets you administer channels based on user permissions?

[10:47:04 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> Are you guys running uPortal in a utf8 environment?
[10:48:37 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> athena: yes I believe it does
[10:48:46 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> Tuomaz: I think so but I'm not sure
[10:49:24 EDT(-0400)] <athena> so drew discovered that the new up-2047 portlet admin portlet has a problem whereby when you update the groups you can potentially lock yourself out of being able to admin a channel
[10:49:33 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i was wondering if that might be related to the change
[10:49:43 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> it could be
[10:49:50 EDT(-0400)] <athena> so for example, you change a portlet from being distributed to "everyone" to "students"
[10:49:51 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> though the default MANAGE Permission is .*
[10:50:03 EDT(-0400)] <athena> the portlet admin can no longer access it to change it anymore
[10:50:06 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> I'm hitting this http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=4541 when trying out 3.1 with a MySQL database. I think I have seen it with 2.x and 3.x series too.
[10:50:06 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> and I also thought it only applied to categories
[10:50:19 EDT(-0400)] <athena> ok, maybe it's not related then
[10:50:26 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i wanted to check with you before i did too much digging
[10:50:29 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> Tuomaz: ok, we've dealt with that in the past
[10:50:35 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> Yep
[10:50:43 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> can you file a Jira and specify which table and key you're having the problem with?
[10:50:46 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> Whats the best solution, I have forgotten (smile)
[10:50:53 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> depends on the table
[10:51:05 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> ok
[11:05:42 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> EricDalquist: UP-2414 created
[11:05:45 EDT(-0400)] <Tuomaz> thanx
[11:05:52 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> great, thanks
[11:14:05 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> uhg MySQL's index semantics are a pain at times
[11:14:24 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I'm not sure what the best fix is for UP_PERMISSION

[13:41:21 EDT(-0400)] <holdorph> so has anyone used the webproxy portlet included with uPortal 3.1.0? I tried to publish an instance of one using the built-in CPD, and channel manager, and could not get it to work last week.
[13:41:51 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> awills: would be the first person I'd ask, I think he put the CPDs together
[13:41:57 EDT(-0400)] <holdorph> I get an exception about BaseURL not being set, which it defnitely IS in channel manager.
[13:42:33 EDT(-0400)] <holdorph> but inside of a debugger it doesn't seem to be set. I think there's some kind of mismatch between the values for the properties that channel manager saves, and what web proxy portlet goes looking for.
[13:42:45 EDT(-0400)] <awills> i can help look at that
[13:42:50 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> hrm
[13:43:01 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I wonder if channel manager is correctly storing those as prefs
[13:43:05 EDT(-0400)] <holdorph> just try it out on the GA release of uportal 3.1.0
[13:43:06 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> or as channel properties instead
[13:43:26 EDT(-0400)] <holdorph> if it works, then you can show me how to do it right. if it doesn't.... well then it's broken (smile)
[13:44:12 EDT(-0400)] <holdorph> also, fwiw, i don't know if we support firefox 2.x, but that's broken with uPortal 3.1.0GA
[13:44:28 EDT(-0400)] <athena> what's specifically broken holdorph?
[13:44:43 EDT(-0400)] <athena> let me look up the Yahoo graded browser support list
[13:45:07 EDT(-0400)] <athena> it looks like yes, it should be supported
[13:45:08 EDT(-0400)] <holdorph> UP-2415
[13:45:15 EDT(-0400)] <athena> though that doesn't mean anything was actually tested on it
[13:45:17 EDT(-0400)] <athena> thanks
[13:45:17 EDT(-0400)] <holdorph> add content doesn't work
[13:45:22 EDT(-0400)] <athena> ok
[13:45:47 EDT(-0400)] <holdorph> also some weirdness with adding tabs too, but it was harder to figure out exactly what was wrong there.
[13:46:29 EDT(-0400)] <athena> UP-2415 doesn't seem to exist
[13:46:43 EDT(-0400)] <holdorph> weird, it's on my browser screen
[13:46:46 EDT(-0400)] <holdorph> did someone delete it?
[13:46:56 EDT(-0400)] <holdorph> i just created it about 5 minutes ago
[13:46:56 EDT(-0400)] <athena> ohh. duh
[13:47:02 EDT(-0400)] <holdorph> http://www.ja-sig.org/issues/browse/UP-2415
[13:47:03 EDT(-0400)] <athena> accidentally hit unicon's instead of jasig, sorry
[13:47:04 EDT(-0400)] <athena> thank you
[13:47:11 EDT(-0400)] * athena fails miserably
[13:47:33 EDT(-0400)] <athena> holdorph: you don't have firebug supported by chance, do you?
[13:47:46 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i don't suppose there are any useful errors in the browser console
[13:47:50 EDT(-0400)] <holdorph> i have firebug, but I don't have firefox 2.x
[13:47:56 EDT(-0400)] <athena> oh ok
[13:47:59 EDT(-0400)] <athena> yeah i don't either
[13:47:59 EDT(-0400)] <holdorph> i saw this last week at Univ. of Chicago
[13:48:14 EDT(-0400)] <athena> hmm
[13:48:22 EDT(-0400)] <holdorph> along with a few other issues (web proxy portlet, channel manager issue)
[13:48:34 EDT(-0400)] <athena> isn't invisibill from there?
[13:48:41 EDT(-0400)] <holdorph> yes, i met him.
[13:49:14 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i thought he had an ajax issue recently, i'm trying to remember the details
[13:49:30 EDT(-0400)] <athena> but i think the resource serving webapp might not have been available or something
[13:49:52 EDT(-0400)] <athena> so it's possible that it was specific to their setup, but definitely worth checking out
[13:50:31 EDT(-0400)] <athena> because we should definitely be supporting that browser
[13:50:52 EDT(-0400)] <holdorph> all the issues I encountered last week were with 3.1.0.GA as part of a training class room
[13:51:01 EDT(-0400)] <holdorph> where every machine ran it's own, pure GA copy of uportal
[13:51:26 EDT(-0400)] <athena> oh! ok
[13:51:31 EDT(-0400)] <athena> thanks, that's good to know
[13:51:57 EDT(-0400)] <athena> well, i'll assign it to me for now, and hopefully find some time to install ff2
