[14:45:42 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> (smile)
[14:45:55 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I just found that some of our unit tests weren't getting run
[14:45:57 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> and fail
[14:46:06 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> more test fixing this afternoon (tongue)
[14:48:23 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> oh
[14:48:24 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> (smile)
[14:48:43 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> there are a bunch named BlahBlahTester.java
[14:48:58 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> and ending in *Tester isn't one of the default patterns
[14:49:31 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> ohhh
[14:49:32 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> hm.
[15:03:33 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> man I gotta figure out how to create a login channel :S
[15:03:34 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> eeek
[15:03:43 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> and make it default for logged out users
[15:03:44 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> :|
[15:03:46 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> argh
[15:08:44 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> can you use CLogin as a template?
[15:09:07 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> or why not just use CLogin directly?
[15:11:17 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> or that too (smile)
[15:11:20 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> what do you need it to do?
[15:15:03 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> it doesn't show up on the channel list
[15:15:04 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> :S
[15:16:24 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> why do you need it to show up in the channel list?
[15:17:55 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> just to subscribe to it?
[15:20:32 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> hmm
[15:20:33 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> no
[15:20:37 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> to add it to a tab :S
[15:20:38 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> eeek
[15:20:43 EDT(-0400)] * EiNZTEiN uP n00b
[15:20:47 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> (tongue)
[15:20:53 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> ok, so add to tab == subscribe
[15:21:01 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> hrm, you're using 2.6 right?
[15:21:29 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I'm trying to think of the easiest way to subscribe to an un-categorized channel
[15:21:31 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> :/
[15:21:36 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> there isn't one
[15:21:42 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> the way to do it is to add it to a category
[15:22:00 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> hmm
[15:22:05 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> uncategorized channels don't show up in the channel registry
[15:22:36 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> if you have 2.6 and you want to create a user layout xsl and use the cernunnos import, that'd probably work
[15:22:39 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> but that's probably it
[15:22:54 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> hmm
[15:24:20 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> dang
[15:24:27 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> that's complicated... at least it sounds like it (tongue)
[15:24:28 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> lol
[15:24:28 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> yeah
[15:24:32 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> well
[15:24:45 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> you could always just add it to a category, then add the channel
[15:24:52 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> could even take it out of the category again afterwards
[15:24:57 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> but i agree that it's not ideal
[15:25:25 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> lots of things about the channel registry probably aren't ideal
[15:25:35 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> at the same time I'd have to hide it from the header
[15:25:39 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> but that' isn't hard
[15:27:21 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> eric, looks like the CAS pages in the authentication section of the manual need some updating
[15:27:37 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> hide it from the header?
[15:27:43 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> probably, I was hoping to spend time on that today but this unit test thing is eating up my dat
[15:27:46 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> day*
[15:28:01 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> a bunch of tests that only work if you have an inited uPortal database running ... rather useless :/
[15:29:09 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> uhg
[15:29:11 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[15:29:19 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> these 'unit' tests are just going to get ignored
[15:29:42 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> they require WAY not much setup to be considered unit tests
[15:32:14 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> I have a "missing channel" that I can't remove :S
[15:32:14 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> eeek
[15:32:20 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> it was the number guess
[15:32:29 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> I remove the channel, but can't remove the "box"
[15:32:30 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> :|
[15:33:11 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> any ideas?
[15:33:12 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> :S
[15:33:40 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> how did you remove the channel
[15:33:40 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> that channel might be marked as unremovable
[15:33:53 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> and what user and tab is the 'box' on?
[15:34:33 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> if that's the case, you can log in as the layout owner and delete it or set it to deletable
[15:36:08 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> user: admin
[15:36:12 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> I think all of them actually
[15:36:24 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> who's the layout owner?
[15:36:29 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> guest-lo?
[15:36:39 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> depends on what tab you're looking at
[15:36:48 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> guest-lo is the layout owner for at least one of the guest tabs
[15:37:02 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> Entertainment
[15:37:05 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> ok
[15:37:09 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> in that case i think it's ent-lo
[15:37:13 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> hmm
[15:37:20 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> the admin should be able to override that imh
[15:37:24 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> imho* (sad)
[15:37:43 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> even that user can't remove it
[15:37:43 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> :|
[15:37:52 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> oh wait
[15:37:53 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> try going into the preferences channel
[15:37:56 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> not the new ajax stuff
[15:38:02 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> no ajax (wink)
[15:38:04 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> I went to prefernces
[15:38:06 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> if you click on the channel there
[15:38:09 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> there should be some options
[15:38:10 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> I had to enter the channel prefences
[15:38:15 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> yeah
[15:38:19 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> and set it to removable
[15:38:22 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> and allow deletion
[15:38:33 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> yeah
[15:39:44 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> got it
[15:40:09 EDT(-0400)] <EiNZTEiN> now I gotta figure that login frontpage
[15:40:47 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> i have to run out to a meeting
[15:40:52 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> good luck with everything (smile)
[15:41:31 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> talk to you all tomorrow
[15:41:55 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> later athena7
[15:42:23 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> adios
