[04:55:25 EDT(-0400)] * athena (n=athena@99.129.100.66) has joined ##uportal
[08:19:36 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> athena, is there anything else I need to do beyond removing the resource server from portlet-overlays to disable it? I see there is some configuration in one of the contexts...do I need to remove that?
[08:52:42 EDT(-0400)] * tsnfoo (n=tsnfoo@wso-mbp15.test.denison.edu) has joined ##uportal
[09:11:00 EDT(-0400)] <athena> dstn: not sure what you mean by the context
[09:11:19 EDT(-0400)] <athena> but to remove things from portlet-overlays generally you want to remove them there, then remove the reference in uportal-ear/pom.xml
[09:12:08 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> athena, I was referring to the cacheContext.xml specifically
[09:12:32 EDT(-0400)] <athena> hm.
[09:12:37 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> there was some configuration in there related to the resource server
[09:12:46 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i don't think that refers to the webapp
[09:13:02 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> ok
[09:13:03 EDT(-0400)] <athena> probably one of the filters from the resource server utilities package?
[09:13:08 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> ya
[09:13:11 EDT(-0400)] <athena> yeah
[09:13:14 EDT(-0400)] <athena> you don't want to remove that
[09:13:25 EDT(-0400)] <athena> that's a filter configuration in uportal itself
[09:13:27 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> I was getting some errors about caching because it was trying to find the resourceservingwebapp
[09:13:42 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> I'll have to pastebin them next time I get em
[09:13:46 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> ok
[09:14:19 EDT(-0400)] <athena> hm, ok
[09:14:24 EDT(-0400)] <athena> please do pastebin then
[09:15:19 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> op, looks like they were not errors...it was next to a another stacktrace and I assumed it was the same issue
[09:17:00 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> http://uportal.pastebin.com/m70dd6bc7
[09:18:12 EDT(-0400)] <athena> that's weird
[09:18:24 EDT(-0400)] <athena> nut sure what's up with the trailing null
[09:19:17 EDT(-0400)] <athena> actually, did you already remove the resource serving webapp?
[09:19:46 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> yes
[09:20:01 EDT(-0400)] <athena> ok, well that's why you're getting the warning then
[09:20:11 EDT(-0400)] <athena> something is still referring to that page, but it doesn't exist
[09:20:29 EDT(-0400)] <athena> so the filter is warning you that it got asked to cache a page it couldn't load
[09:20:57 EDT(-0400)] <athena> take a look at your main skin file
[09:21:06 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i think by default that's set up to point at resource serving webapp
[09:23:47 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> wow, 194 references to resourceservingwebapp, ok, ya I'll replace those
[09:23:53 EDT(-0400)] <dstn> thanks!
[09:24:59 EDT(-0400)] <athena> (smile)
[09:25:14 EDT(-0400)] <athena> must have been missing some styles, too

[11:16:05 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> uhg, the groups manager UI update broke things (sad)
[11:31:30 EDT(-0400)] <athena> what's broken?
[11:32:02 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> paging controls don't show up
[11:32:34 EDT(-0400)] <athena> oh :/
[11:32:40 EDT(-0400)] <athena> is there a missing image or something?
[11:32:54 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> bad logic in the XSL
[11:33:01 EDT(-0400)] <athena> oh (sad)
[11:33:10 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> they only show if you're on a page > 1
[11:33:18 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> which is kind of hard to do with no controls (tongue)
[11:33:31 EDT(-0400)] <athena> oh.
[11:33:34 EDT(-0400)] <athena> lol, yes, i'd imagine
[11:34:33 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> hrm
[11:34:40 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> honestly I think the UI is worse in 3.1
[11:34:53 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> previously it was using tables and spacing was static
[11:34:59 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> so controls where always in the same spot
[11:35:13 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> now they are dynamic based on the width of the group name and member names

[11:48:21 EDT(-0400)] <athena> i haven't actually looked at it

[16:15:35 EDT(-0400)] * invisibill (i=80876350@gateway/web/ajax/mibbit.com/x-7c49352f17f29675) has joined ##uportal
[16:19:02 EDT(-0400)] <invisibill> Greetings uPortal devs: does someone here know why I'm seeing references to "media/skins/universality/uportal3/uportal3.min.css" instead of "media/skins/universality/uportal3/uportal3.css" when I view the source of our portal app? we're attempting to host the /media folder on apache in front of the tomcat server serving the rest of uportal.
[16:19:35 EDT(-0400)] <invisibill> I"m not sure where the .min in the file name is coming from.
[16:20:42 EDT(-0400)] * Sememmon (n=Sememmon@ip70-190-32-223.ph.ph.cox.net) has joined ##uportal
[16:28:24 EDT(-0400)] <invisibill> ok. got it. I see this note in the universality.xsl file for the theme: "NOTE: CSS files are minimized (linearized) for performance during the build process and thus these links reference a .min version of the file in the deployed webapp." we may need to change the universality.xsl file to not reference the .min version.
[16:28:41 EDT(-0400)] <invisibill> or move the .min versions to the static site.
[16:32:35 EDT(-0400)] <athena> the .min files are built by the yui compressor maven plugin
[16:32:53 EDT(-0400)] <athena> so that small changes to the javascript and css don't require you to manually minify all the associated files
[16:34:27 EDT(-0400)] <invisibill> thanks athena
[16:34:49 EDT(-0400)] <athena> does that help at all?
[16:35:06 EDT(-0400)] <athena> we've talked about having a "development mode" in the future to make editing and redeploying files a little easier
[16:35:09 EDT(-0400)] <invisibill> that does. I'm just going to copy the .min files to the static location. manually.
[16:35:49 EDT(-0400)] <invisibill> we are basically themeing the site with the upgrade from 3.0.2 to 3.1.0
[16:37:32 EDT(-0400)] <invisibill> hi athena . do you know the .min files are stored during the build>?
[16:37:42 EDT(-0400)] <invisibill> after they are generated?
[16:37:56 EDT(-0400)] <invisibill> I'm haveing trouble finding them now. in any /target folder.
[16:38:04 EDT(-0400)] <athena> yes, they should be in a target folder
[16:38:15 EDT(-0400)] <athena> why do you need them on a static location?
[16:39:47 EDT(-0400)] <invisibill> we have a different set of development staff who work on the theme vs the portlet side and this will enable us to develop concurrently a little easier in terms of not needing to rebuild to deploy css changes.
[16:40:06 EDT(-0400)] <athena> oh gotcha
[16:40:19 EDT(-0400)] <athena> yeah, i've set that up for UI developers before
[16:40:25 EDT(-0400)] <athena> anyway, take a look at uportal-war/target/uPortal/media/skins/universality/
[16:40:31 EDT(-0400)] <invisibill> thanks.
[16:40:32 EDT(-0400)] <athena> they should be in the appropriate skin and common folers
[16:40:38 EDT(-0400)] <invisibill> ok.
[16:40:58 EDT(-0400)] <athena> really you could probably just copy the whole uportal-war/target/uPortal/media folder to the static server
[16:41:07 EDT(-0400)] <athena> that way the relative paths to images and such will be preserved
[16:41:28 EDT(-0400)] <invisibill> thats what I plan to do "copy the whole media folder".
[16:41:33 EDT(-0400)] <athena> yeah
[16:41:55 EDT(-0400)] <athena> the one thing that will be missing is the references to /ResourceServingWebapp
[16:42:16 EDT(-0400)] <athena> depending on how you have things set up
[16:43:04 EDT(-0400)] <invisibill> looking at the source of the genereated portal page I think we are ok with the /ResourceServingWebapp part. testing now...
