Quick questions about elemental HOT 95 CLOSED

First off, who has access to the heroku account?

from elemental.

Me, and it's a personal account.

from elemental.

Okay!!

from elemental.

NO offense, but why personal?

from elemental.

Because it has to have an email, and backend requires lots and lots of pushes that I can't test locally on Windows.

from elemental.

Ah, okay! :D

from elemental.

Make different issues for each question, so it's cleaner.

from elemental.

Hmm. One one hand, it's not like we have a finite number of issues. On the other hand, I think a discussion topic like this would be great for quick questions. Hmm. I'll add a tag instead

from elemental.

Okay!

from elemental.

We should keep issues for planning and bugs. Not questions. That's why I made this :P

from elemental.

Oh yeh that makes sense. So the "closed issues" list doesn't get filled up with "what's my username again" and "what is 2+2", but is a list of... closed issues. 😛

from elemental.

Yep!

from elemental.

So this is more like a chat channel? :P

from elemental.

It is now :P

OH Firedrake pls add TheInitializer to the Programmers group

from elemental.

Ok, what'll he be doing?

from elemental.

Idk, he showed interest in backend stuffz in #20, and people not in the Programmers group can't push stuff, tag/close issues, or do anything really.

from elemental.

Ok
@TheInitializer
Just don't push anything direclty to the dev/staging/master branch - pull request first.

from elemental.

Everyone's accounts are deleted due to some issues - please note this may occur frequently.

from elemental.

Is "hello" the main site? If not then what is? And why is it called "hello"?
Edit: It looks like a hello world program? What's it doing in here?
Edit 2: Oh wait, it's the main site.

from elemental.

I'm a github n00b, sorry. How do I make a pull request?

from elemental.

To make pull request:

1. Create branch and push your code
2. Visit the branch's home page
3. Under the dropdown that states the current branch, there's a light grey colored bar. On the left of that is a "Pull Request" button.
4. Don't accept your own request, even if you can - have someone else review your code first.

@TheInitializer
Do you know how to set up a Django app and run migrate/makemigrations on Windows?

from elemental.

@Firedrake969 I'm familiar with syncdb, its predecessor. I assume they aren't very different?
And yeah, I know how to set up an app and models and stuff

from elemental.

I just meant get an app running on localhost, and somehow getting virtualenv or something to be able to makemigrations and migrate (basically however you ran syncdb before, but a slightly different command)

from elemental.

Ok then I can do that

from elemental.

yeah, how? detailed instructions please?

from elemental.

manage.py startapp appname creates an app, and then once you've made the changes to the models you run the migrate and makemigrations commands. I've never done it in a virtualenv though, but I don't suspect that would make a big difference.

from elemental.

What pip packages do you have to have installed?
(or just pip freeze and post it here)

from elemental.

I already have apps created (check out the dev branch, projects is one such app) but running migrate/makemigrations fails. Could you try it out?

from elemental.

fyi the command isn't migrate /makemigrations, migrate and makemigrations are two separate commands.

and sure I'll try it

from elemental.

I know, I was just doing a slash but was too lazy to put the extra two backticks in xD
Also, could you tell me what prints when you do pip freeze?

from elemental.

I'm getting a ImportError: No module named dj-database-url. Is this the same error you get?
Edit: syncdb gives me the same result.
Edit 2: pip took care of that for me :P
Now I get a error saying that postgre isn't installed (which it isn't). I'll install that now. (I normally use MySQL)

from elemental.

Ok, keep me updated please :)
(can't test for myself atm)

from elemental.

n00b JS question...
If I have this HTML:

<label class="paletteOptionWrap" for="p1">
  <input type="radio" name="palette" value="p1" id="p1" />
  Palette 1<span class="paletteColorIndicator" data-color="#0f0"></span>
</label>

and this JS (w/ jquery):

function loadPaletteColors() {
  for(i=0;i<$( ".paletteColorIndicator" ).length; i++) {
    $(".paletteColorIndicator:nth-of-type(" + String(i + 1) + ")").css("background-color", $(this).attr("data-color"));
  }
}

Why doesn't it set the background color of the element based on its data attribute?
(I feel like the answer is really obvious.)

from elemental.

Why not just use CSS if you're doing an attribute anyways?

from elemental.

Eh... I suppose inline CSS could be tolerated...

from elemental.

ew no use a class

from elemental.

A different class for each color?

from elemental.

True, nvm
But inline CSS is better than using jQuery just to set inline css xD

from elemental.

lol I suppose

from elemental.

I only use inline css when I’m inspect-elementing a page, when I’m feeling lazy, or when I’m using wordpress or something

from elemental.

So you'd rather use jQuery to set inline styles, making another ugly layer of uglyness? :P

from elemental.

No.

I just forgot to be intelligent.

from elemental.

Stupid question:
How do I get a personal version of the sever on mah computer so I can fool around with how django works?

from elemental.

No clue yet if you're using Windows

from elemental.

If I have django with python 3.4, how do I use it?

from elemental.

@an-OK-squirrel use python 2.7 pls

This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software.
http://www.avast.com

from elemental.

use python 2.7
also, fairly sure it's python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:port but I'm probably wrong since I haven't tested

from elemental.

Why?

from elemental.

I hate py2 :/

from elemental.

Because it’s better.

from elemental.

NEVA

from elemental.

yes

from elemental.

py2 is the best

from elemental.

Do I need it for this? :P

from elemental.

you need to use 2.7 or else it won't work. Especially since init and I are the primary backend devs and we're using it :3

from elemental.

and that's what we're using so deal with it

from elemental.

kay den. D:

from elemental.

dang it ninja'd

from elemental.

HAHAA

from elemental.

Okay, now that I use 2.7, whaddo I do?

from elemental.

screw this I'm turning off email notifications my inbox is pretty much full

from elemental.

Hahaha :P

from elemental.

lol
also nobody push directly to dev if it deals with models.

from elemental.

Ik :P

from elemental.

Kk

from elemental.

manage.py runserver [port]

refixed by init

from elemental.

Okay!

from elemental.

I'm getting errors with those. :/

from elemental.

Ohwait nvm

from elemental.

What modules do i need for this?

from elemental.

ImproperlyConfigured: 'django_postgrespool' isn't an available database backend.
Try using 'django.db.backends.XXX', where XXX is one of:
u'base', u'mysql', u'oracle', u'postgresql_psycopg2', u'sqlite3'
Error was: No module named django_postgrespool.base

from elemental.

Go to the line in settings.py and comment out database['ENGINE'] = something_goes_here_but_i_can't_remember

from elemental.

Thx!

from elemental.

DATABASES['default']['ENGINE'] = 'django_postgrespool'
this?

from elemental.

Nope.

from elemental.

Python closed too fast, but it said "unkown something:"

from elemental.

@an-OK-squirrel
Yes
You need Django installed, and possibly everything else (pip install -r requirements.txt)

from elemental.

oh okay

from elemental.

Where's the UI folder? I can't find it in either the dev branch or master.

commit f61c485 seems to have removed the ui folder?

from elemental.

@quat1024 https://github.com/ElementalCode/Elemental/tree/dev/apps/projects/templates

from elemental.

Ok wow I'm dumb

from elemental.

Think we can automatically let admins and moderators share projects?

from elemental.

Why not?

from elemental.

_BUT WHAT IF WE DON'T TRUST OURSELVES_

...

...

Yeah that'd be fine.

from elemental.

k working on it

from elemental.

I trust myself...most of the time anyway :P

from elemental.

uh oh
I'll have to ban you now

from elemental.

LOL... I hope...

from elemental.

Django admin IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN PHPMYADMIN

from elemental.

ikr
also firedrake, why do you have to specify an ip? I just put the port (I use 80 so I don't have to type the port number every time lol)

from elemental.

wait really?
cool
but now localhost:3000 is stuck in my browser's memory xD

from elemental.

Lol

from elemental.

also django 1.8 tests are really really fast

from elemental.

Hasn't been used in 29 days.
