[13:30:24 EST(-0500)] <jessm> athena: ping
[13:30:36 EST(-0500)] <athena> hey jessm, what's up?
[13:31:00 EST(-0500)] <jessm> i'm giving a preso tonight and want to show uPortal using some Fluid-y things – do you have recommended areas to showcase?
[13:31:10 EST(-0500)] <jessm> our nightly build has a pretty snazzy build on it
[13:31:13 EST(-0500)] <athena> ooh, yes
[13:31:17 EST(-0500)] <athena> that'd be fantastic (smile)
[13:31:32 EST(-0500)] <jessm> so, i'm in as student/student and have great focus on teh portlets
[13:31:39 EST(-0500)] <athena> so i'm sure you're probably already familiar with the drag and drop layout editing
[13:31:40 EST(-0500)] <jessm> reordering them is smooth
[13:31:47 EST(-0500)] <jessm> yeah
[13:31:55 EST(-0500)] <jessm> then skinning in the menu on the right
[13:32:27 EST(-0500)] <athena> another thing to do would be to log in as admin and to go the "portlet manager" link on the right-hand side
[13:32:43 EST(-0500)] <athena> that goes into the new portlet administration tool, and the front view of that is the fluid pager
[13:32:58 EST(-0500)] <athena> that portlet actually uses the fluid skinning system pretty heavily
[13:32:59 EST(-0500)] <jessm> nice
[13:33:21 EST(-0500)] <athena> and the groups and categories editing isn't something you guys wrote, but is a reusable javascript component built as a fluid component
[13:33:37 EST(-0500)] <jessm> you've been busy!
[13:33:43 EST(-0500)] <athena> always (smile)
[13:33:49 EST(-0500)] <athena> hm
[13:33:59 EST(-0500)] <athena> another sort of cool fluid thing is the update to the SQL channel
[13:34:11 EST(-0500)] <athena> i rewrote the old CSQLQuery channel as a SQL portlet
[13:34:18 EST(-0500)] <athena> basically you give it a simple SQL query
[13:34:26 EST(-0500)] <athena> and it formats the results using the fluid pager
[13:34:34 EST(-0500)] <jessm> nice
[13:34:40 EST(-0500)] <jessm> where do i find that?
[13:35:06 EST(-0500)] <athena> here's a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHbO1TwsqYw
[13:35:45 EST(-0500)] <jessm> (smile)
[13:35:46 EST(-0500)] <jessm> snazzy
[13:36:22 EST(-0500)] <athena> if you give me a minute i can get you some sample queries - phone just rang
[13:41:37 EST(-0500)] * colinclark (n=colin@63-227-0-131.hlrn.qwest.net) has joined ##uportal
[13:45:07 EST(-0500)] * Sememmon (n=Sememmon@unaffiliated/sememmon) has joined ##uportal
[13:51:01 EST(-0500)] <athena> ok jessm: to make a sample SQL portlet, you want to register a new portlet of type "SQL"
[13:51:19 EST(-0500)] <athena> then enter something as the SQL query - here's a sample one that pulls up a list of the last 100 user sessions:
[13:51:21 EST(-0500)] <athena> select userid as user, logins.act_date as login, logouts.act_date as logout from stats_session inner join stats_event as logins on stats_session.id=logins.session_id left outer join (select * from stats_event where type_id=(select id from stats_event_type where type='LOGOUT')) as logouts on stats_session.id=logouts.session_id where logins.type_id=(select id from stats_event_type where type='LOGIN') order by login desc limit 10
[13:51:35 EST(-0500)] <athena> er, now that i think about it, that only helps if you turn the stats service on
[13:52:25 EST(-0500)] <jessm> athena: i think i'm ok with the demos you mentioned
[13:52:28 EST(-0500)] <athena> oh ok
[13:52:30 EST(-0500)] <athena> cool then (smile)
[13:52:32 EST(-0500)] <jessm> i'll try this one out, but i think i'll be good
[13:52:45 EST(-0500)] <jessm> thanks!
[13:52:49 EST(-0500)] <athena> there's also a "javascript demos" portlet in uportal that displays a couple limited fluid demos
[13:52:54 EST(-0500)] <athena> and links to your much better ones (smile)
[13:53:01 EST(-0500)] <athena> let me know if there's anything else you need!
[13:53:14 EST(-0500)] <jessm> i was just checking out the javascript demos
[13:58:43 EST(-0500)] <athena> they're pretty rough - just get people a little more aware of some of the stuff that's bundled in

[15:53:47 EST(-0500)] <athena> wow EricDalquist, i had no idea that code existed
[15:53:48 EST(-0500)] <athena> lol
[15:53:55 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ?
[15:54:06 EST(-0500)] <athena> your twitter message
[15:54:19 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ah lol
[15:54:20 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[15:54:26 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I was reading the page for something else
[15:54:37 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and I'm rather sleepy
[15:54:44 EST(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so it took me a minute to get that it was a joke
[15:55:36 EST(-0500)] <athena> lol
[15:55:39 EST(-0500)] <athena> that's awesome
[15:55:46 EST(-0500)] <athena> i've looked through the status code before and never noticed it
