00:37 snoy_ms hey all
00:38 snoy_ms i need to know where typo3 saves the extension keys when i install a new extension
00:38 snoy_ms one ext. fu***s up and now i have to delete it by hand. I did it a month ago, but i forgot the filename.
00:38 snoy_ms was it the localconf ?
00:42 ries snoy_ms: yes it is....
00:42 snoy_ms ok i found it...puuhhh
00:44 snoy_ms Just for the log: delete extension in $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['EXT']['extList'] out of the localconf and delete the temp* files in the typo3conf
00:44 snoy_ms everything fine now...
01:01 chefan lol on UP time
01:02 chefan Russ Meyer's UP!-Time
01:02 chefan ries: people want it up, but not locked ;)
01:07 ries :)
01:09 oxygen-a1dict chefan: centos is exactly s/RHEL/CentOS/g
01:10 oxygen-a1dict that's their goal: build a linux distro from the RHEL Sources to be binarycompatible with RHEL
01:15 chefan thanks for the confirmation, i didn't have that much RHEL experience to be completely sure
01:15 chefan so that means they equally suck, just that RHEL sucks more expensive
01:17 oxygen-addict yeah, the money seems to be a reason to name it CENT os ;)
01:17 chefan why the hell don't we have a spanish fork then called PesOs?
01:17 chefan would be way cooler
01:18 chefan plus even cheaper
01:19 oxygen-addict well, because everbody would think that an OS called Pesos would just have as much future as the pesos?
01:21 chefan even less future as the dollar?
01:22 chefan and besides, it was in europe that the recession was declared recently :)
01:22 chefan but sounds like a good fools day project
01:22 oxygen-addict well the dollar is not yet dead...
01:23 chefan PesOs, lightweigt RHEL compatible distro with purely spanish language support and preconfigured server siesta :)
01:23 oxygen-addict "why did you start a new distribution?" "because I wanted to use the cool name PesOs for something"
01:23 chefan i know, it will never be as long as there are arms available to defend it :)
01:23 chefan well, i think that's a valid reason, or not?
01:24 oxygen-addict sure
01:24 chefan there are people who intended to launch a PHP based application server just to use Beer3 as a working title, so what?
01:25 chefan and they don't give a shit that a lot of people think that PHP and Application Server are contradictive in terms
01:26 oxygen-addict beer3 sounds like homeBREW ;)
01:26 chefan no really, the idea is way cool. lets fork Minix to build PesOs as some kind of low footprint "Open Source Enterprise Minix"
01:27 chefan runs in your keyboard if need be
01:29 oxygen-addict pesos could stand for pervert enterprise server operating system
01:30 oxygen-addict I would not base it on minix, try Hurd as Kernel
01:30 oxygen-addict once it's released it will be the best OS ever!
01:38 oxygen-addict i'm going to sleep now. Good fight and good night.
02:25 ries oxygen-addict: they still work on hurd???
10:22 nd____ ries2: From time to time they work on hurd... it's said to get released next month!
10:22 nd____ (continuing the myth)
10:22 nd____ And Duke Nukem Forever will run on it...
11:47 HardPhuck lol
11:47 HardPhuck i'm just reading the night chat log :)
15:14 dokma hi guys
15:15 dokma anyone got a feel for how buggy 4.2.3 is?
15:15 dokma is it any better than 4.2.2
15:15 ShadowHunter never had any problems with 4.2.3... should be better than 4.2.2 ;)
15:21 dokma ShadowHunter: how much have you used it?
15:21 dokma in production
15:22 ShadowHunter 3 oder 4 sites using 4.2.3.. why?
15:24 ShadowHunter 4.2.3 was AFAIK just a bugfix release
15:35 HardPhuck dokma the last number is for bugfixes only
15:35 HardPhuck the second number is for features
15:35 HardPhuck so 4.2.3 is always better than 4.2.2
15:37 RoyalKnight HardPhuck: depending on what is needed - in 4.2.2 there was a password-field bug e.g.
15:38 RoyalKnight and in 4.2.2 there are old icons in the filebrowser
15:38 RoyalKnight so visually 4.2.2 was not better than 4.2.1 ;)
17:02 pulponair hi there
17:42 n-regen is it possible to create a submenu for each item in a tmenu in typoscript?
17:46 HardPhuck what do you mean?
17:48 n-regen my situation is like this: i have a tmenu in a <div>-container and want to add a javascript-command to all the items of this (main-)menu, which shows another <div> containing the sub-items of the menu-item you just moved your mouse onto
17:49 HardPhuck yeah that can be done
17:49 n-regen can you tell me how, please?
17:50 HardPhuck where are the second level items
17:50 HardPhuck i mean in the html
17:50 HardPhuck in the div or somewhere else
17:51 HardPhuck what will js do?
17:51 n-regen <body> ... <div id="subitem001">anything</div> ... <div id="main-menu">[items]</div> ... [content] </body>
17:52 n-regen one of the sub-items:
17:52 n-regen <div style="left: 81px; top: 84px; visibility: hidden;" id="topicmenu1" class="menu">
17:53 n-regen and one of the items in the main-menu:
17:53 n-regen <li class="menuButton"><a class="menuButton" href="http://www.schulen.rosenheim.de/igg/539513974c0bb6203/index.html" onmouseover="menuTouch(event, 'topicmenu1');">Aktuelles</a></li>
17:55 HardPhuck hmm...
17:55 n-regen when you move your mouse over the main-menu-item, menuTouch() will make the sub-item visible
17:55 n-regen and that sub-item has sub-items on his own
17:57 HardPhuck could you paste the output html that you would want to have this is pretty confusing
17:57 n-regen output of typo3 when opening the page or my example html-file i made the template out of (at least i try to)
17:57 n-regen ?
17:58 HardPhuck your example that works without typo3
17:58 HardPhuck what kind of menu is this
17:58 n-regen http://www.schulen.rosenheim.de/igg
17:58 HardPhuck drop down?
17:58 n-regen es
17:58 n-regen i mean: yes
17:59 HardPhuck omg don't do that
17:59 HardPhuck there are better ways to achieve this stuff
17:59 HardPhuck easier too
17:59 n-regen this is the website of my school and i have to translate it into a typo3-template
18:00 HardPhuck yeah but can you modify the xhtml or not
18:00 n-regen i downloaded the website i can edit it locally
18:02 HardPhuck http://www.ffa.uni-lj.si/
18:03 HardPhuck check the sources here
18:20 n-regen ok, now i know how i works. but how can i use it in my typo3-template?
18:20 HardPhuck so first you need to modify them html
18:24 n-regen you mean, generate a menu like this?
18:24 HardPhuck http://paste.phlogi.net/-44e210816f/
18:25 HardPhuck here is the TS for the whole site
18:25 HardPhuck that i pasted before
18:25 HardPhuck it's pretty well comented so it shouldn't be hard
18:26 HardPhuck check line 341
18:26 HardPhuck for the main menu and how it's made
18:27 n-regen will i have to include the js and css from that university-site?
18:27 n-regen or is it enough to use the typoscript you posted?
18:28 HardPhuck you can include, but you will learn more if you try and do it yourself
18:28 HardPhuck i can send you the js and css if you want to
18:28 n-regen yes, please
18:29 nd____ .oO(Is that comic sans for the menu!?)
18:31 HardPhuck http://www.ffa.uni-lj.si/fileadmin/templates/FFA/js/js.zip
18:32 HardPhuck or remove the js.zip and you will see the whole folder
18:48 ckoehler anyone here familiar with the EM object in typo3?
18:49 ckoehler with the xmlhandler and stuff?
18:49 n-regen now i have a menu structured like on the university site, but no dropdown-menu
18:53 n-regen what must i do to make a menu out of that list?
19:04 n-regen HardPhuck: how can i use that menu?
19:06 HardPhuck is the outputted html like the on in univeristy site?
19:12 samek hm how can i _implement_ search for tt_products..
19:12 samek with default tt_product i have problems viewing single product
19:12 samek any suggestions?
19:31 n-regen HardPhuck: there´s a list structured like on the site and i have linked the files you sent to me in the <head>-section
19:33 HardPhuck and?
19:34 n-regen there a _list_, no menu
19:34 HardPhuck link?
19:36 n-regen http://paste.phlogi.net/-b3c0496f10/
19:36 HardPhuck this is still wrong
19:37 n-regen what else must i do?
19:37 HardPhuck you have to make a proper working version without typo3
19:37 HardPhuck http://www.htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/
19:37 HardPhuck here si a great resource how to make drop downs
19:37 HardPhuck so first create html without typo3
19:37 HardPhuck proper html that is
19:39 n-regen and when i have a html-file with such a list?
19:39 HardPhuck each menu item in <div> tag is ugly, bad, wrong
19:39 HardPhuck then you try to write the TS to make output just like your html
19:39 yetihehe yeah, and using elemets like li and stripping them so they look like div's isn't?
19:40 HardPhuck no it is not, <li> stands for list item
19:40 HardPhuck which menu items are
19:41 HardPhuck how does a div look like if i may ask
19:41 n-regen i forgot to remove a very long comment. this is what the page looks like without comments: http://paste.phlogi.net/-9f09893243/
19:42 n-regen i already have a <ul><li>...</li><ul> structure
19:42 HardPhuck n-regen: lol you just copy pasted things
19:42 yetihehe almost like li { list-style:none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px } ;)
19:43 HardPhuck yetihehe: lol
19:43 yetihehe this is copied from link you posted ;)
19:43 HardPhuck yeah but DIV does not look like anything
19:44 HardPhuck div is merely a container
19:44 HardPhuck just like LI
19:44 yetihehe AND VERY GOOD!
19:44 HardPhuck ?
19:44 yetihehe div does not have any look, so you don't need to strip all look before you use it
19:45 HardPhuck you need to strip some things because some browsers apply some styling on their own
19:45 n-regen http://84.150.233.236:50124
19:45 yetihehe ehh, I don't have enough coffeine in my blood to really dispute this :/
19:46 n-regen http://84.150.233.236:50124/typo3
19:46 n-regen thats my local server with the typo3-installation
19:46 n-regen and the page how it looks at the moment: a list, not a menu
19:47 HardPhuck so the menu is correct now
19:47 HardPhuck now all you need to apply the proper CSS and JS
19:47 n-regen it was all the time, but there was a comment containing the old <div>-menu
19:47 yetihehe I'm just a programmer, who needs to "make menus dynamic" after getting them from grahpicians :D
19:47 yetihehe almost on a weekly basis
19:48 HardPhuck n-regen, now check the dropdown link i gave you
19:48 HardPhuck the js i posted is too complicated for your knowledge i think
19:48 HardPhuck no offense
19:51 HardPhuck yetihehe: well i do that too, but i always want to have as semantic html as possible
19:52 yetihehe now I know the reasoning with "reset.css", thanks :)
19:53 HardPhuck you don't use it?
19:53 yetihehe it's just two points of view: 1. programmers which want to use best tool to make thing as efficient as possible
19:53 yetihehe 2. graphicians - they want to do it just right, according to standards
19:54 yetihehe I don't tell one way is better than other, just that one way is sometimes annoying for other side ;)
19:54 HardPhuck lol true
19:55 yetihehe I don't use it, it typically comes along with template
19:55 HardPhuck well for the university site i got lucky because i got xthml template, css and js from the designer
19:55 yetihehe I have as much art skills as typical glass
19:55 yetihehe glass of water
19:55 HardPhuck :)
19:56 n-regen now it starts to work. i will go on working on the site tomorrow. thanks for your help, HardPhuck
19:57 HardPhuck sure, np :)
19:57 yetihehe I'm not a freelancer, so typically I will have template and good documentation, it's just me and programming then :)
19:57 HardPhuck i am a freelancer so i usually get crap ;)
19:58 HardPhuck i hate that part of the job
19:58 HardPhuck someone hires me and says he has his own designer
19:58 HardPhuck which usualy has less design skillz than a glass of water
19:59 HardPhuck then i get the "design" in a jpg file, no documentation, no details, bad looking
20:00 HardPhuck ;)
20:01 yetihehe hmm, I can't beat this ;)
20:01 HardPhuck lol
20:02 yetihehe but for last project we got 2gb of psd files, each page or variant of page as separate file
20:03 yetihehe and it was only about 150 pages (we also got it as 50mb pdf :D)
20:03 HardPhuck nice
20:03 yetihehe documentation is not alwas roses too
20:03 yetihehe alwas->always
20:04 HardPhuck to be honest i'm in this business for about 5 years and only recently i got a job with the documentation that had everything i needed to know
20:05 yetihehe Me too, but I have NEVER had such documentation, there were always some strange omissions
20:05 yetihehe except for really small projects, where 1 template and two sentences were enough :)
20:06 yetihehe documentation is typically manageable, not ideal, but almost ok
20:06 HardPhuck i envy you :)
20:07 HardPhuck usually when i ask my clients on the functionality, i get: Make something up
20:07 HardPhuck i hate that
20:07 yetihehe yeah, and then: this isn't what we wanted :D
20:08 HardPhuck i mean i could sit down and make a plan, think things through. But noone wants to pay for that
20:08 HardPhuck yea lol
20:09 yetihehe many clients do not want to pay anyhow, after three weeks of making documentation for the project one client took the documentation and took another company for actual implementation :/
20:10 yetihehe just to not pay for the time it took to make docs
20:11 HardPhuck that is crap
20:12 yetihehe crap happens
20:13 HardPhuck i've met a client (at least i thought he would become one), who at our first meeting talked about how business is growing
20:13 HardPhuck and how rich they are
20:13 HardPhuck and bragging about his company
20:14 HardPhuck but when we came to the price, which was about 2k euro (which isn't much), he asked if i could give him discount or if he could pay in rounds (small payments)
20:14 HardPhuck i almost laughed at his stupid face
20:14 yetihehe hehe, I'm working on a project sponsoreb by bank paribas, they don't even have money for good server, they want to make server with video, allowing people to upload and encode their own videos, but machine is weaker than my desktop :/
20:15 HardPhuck lol
20:16 HardPhuck those are the best, want to have everything but don't want to pay for nothing
20:16 yetihehe and everything is done in js, where it should be done in flash, like animating 5 thousands photos, from which you can select, and then they move all into place :/
20:16 HardPhuck sucks
20:16 yetihehe they didn't even have enough disk space for all videos
20:16 HardPhuck lol
20:17 HardPhuck well the bad side of this web business is definately that there are many really bad non-educated project leaders
20:18 HardPhuck i had one of those
20:18 yetihehe yes, one would think "The mythical man-month" was written thirty years ago and people still make errors taken from this book :/
20:19 yetihehe this project for paribas has just one such project manager :D
20:19 HardPhuck the last project manager i worked with sucked so badly that i had no choice but to tell him that in the face
20:20 HardPhuck we didn't work together anymore :)
20:21 yetihehe sometimes it's really better to stop working for such people, than burn out
20:21 HardPhuck i really had no choice he got like 50% of the money (and 50 me) but i had to do everything, from design, html, usability, documentation, functionality
20:21 HardPhuck i agree
20:23 HardPhuck i'm usually pretty direct to my clients
20:23 HardPhuck got into several fights because of that, but in the end they all got my point :)
20:24 yetihehe I usually don't speak with clients, my company does sites primarily in french (me too), but I don't know french, only my boss knows. So he is a buffer :)
20:24 HardPhuck that's great
20:25 HardPhuck you even can't argue with anyone because you don't understand them :D
20:25 HardPhuck anyways i'm off enough for today
20:25 HardPhuck take care
20:25 HardPhuck bye
20:26 yetihehe thank, and you too :)
20:26 yetihehe bye
21:25 j_s Hello. Is it possible to trigger at page tree/navtree reload directly from a backend extension?
21:28 yetihehe with js, sure ;)
21:30 j_s yetihehe, are there already a function for this or do I have to write it myself?
21:31 yetihehe don't really know, but I think you just need to find what does icon of tree refreshing do and call the same from your extension
21:31 yetihehe can't really help you in this now, I'm after beer and without access to ny of my last typo3 installs
21:38 maltisch ls -al
21:39 yetihehe maltish: i don't think it'll work here D
21:39 yetihehe :D
21:40 j_s yetihehe, thanks for the js-tip. This solves my problem: window.parent.frames['nav_frame'].location.reload()
21:41 yetihehe yup :)
21:41 yetihehe I thought it could need to load location with some parameters, but looks like just refreshing works
