2008-03-23:
[15:32] <p3k> Happy Easter![15:33] <zumbrunn> ditto!
[15:33] <p3k> Thanks. And wow! I did not expect somebody to be around...
[15:34] <zumbrunn> ;-)
[15:34] <p3k> So how's it going, Chris?
[15:34] <zumbrunn> I didn't expect you to pop in here either
[15:35] <zumbrunn> I'm migrating some more older projects to helma
[15:35] <p3k> Yes, one of my rare visist :)
[15:35] <zumbrunn> so I can dump the old server that is still running the pre-helma stuff one day :-)
[15:35] <p3k> Dumping old servers is fun.
[15:35] <p3k> Sometimes.
[15:36] <zumbrunn> yeah, when you're finally at the point that you can dump them
[15:36] <zumbrunn> how are things at the orf?
[15:36] <p3k> Exactly; when you know everything is running fine on the new one.
[15:36] <p3k> Oh, I quit a month ago.
[15:37] <zumbrunn> oh, I didn't know that yet
[15:37] <zumbrunn> so, what are you up to?
[15:37] <p3k> Didn't make a lot of fuss about it
[15:37] <p3k> Trying to dedicate my work to Antville
[15:37] <p3k> And living from my savings
[15:37] <zumbrunn> fulltime on antville ;-)
[15:37] <p3k> I wish!
[15:37] <zumbrunn> oh, was going to make a joke
[15:37] <zumbrunn> turns out I guessed the reality :-)
[15:37] <p3k> I had some serious motivation issues lately
[15:38] <p3k> That's why I am popping in today
[15:38] <p3k> Because I was so lazy yesterday
[15:38] <zumbrunn> lol
[15:38] <p3k> And as you're here I got something for you :)
[15:38] <p3k> In the docs about res.skinpath it says:
[15:39] <p3k> If hobj is a HopObject element in the res.skinpath array, then a skin for prototype proto named sname is expected to reside in a string property in hobj.proto.sname.skin.
[15:39] <p3k> ? do you know if that works with a transient HopObject too?
[15:40] <p3k> I mean: I think it doesn't but maybe I am doing something silly
[15:40] <p3k> Example:
[15:40] <p3k> var skinset = new HopObject;
[15:40] <p3k> skinset.Test = new HopObject;
[15:40] <p3k> skinset.Test.main = new HopObject;
[15:40] <p3k> skinset.Test.main.skin = "abc";
[15:41] <p3k> Now when I use that in app.getSkinfilesInPath() the skin is not there:
[15:41] <p3k> app.getSkinfilesInPath([skinset]).Test
[15:41] <p3k> -> null
[15:42] <p3k> Any idea?
[15:42] <zumbrunn> maybe "HopObjects, which will be interpreted as database-resident skinsets" hints at that they can't be transient
[15:43] <zumbrunn> not sure though
[15:43] <p3k> Yes, that's probably the reason
[15:43] <zumbrunn> but it doesn't seem it would need to be that way
[15:44] <p3k> Well, I agree. :)
[15:57] <zumbrunn> p3k, one big plus of not being at the orf anymore is that you'll be hanging out in this channel from now on, right? :-)
[15:57] <p3k> At least now I *can* :)
[15:58] <zumbrunn> oh, come on ;-)
[15:58] <zumbrunn> hehe
[15:58] <p3k> I'll try to. okay? :)
[15:58] <zumbrunn> ok!
[15:59] <p3k> I read the hopbot logs pretty regularly anyway
[16:17] <p3k> Okay, I am off again. Have a nice remaining Sunday, Chris. And all the best for the migration.
[16:17] <zumbrunn> thanks Tobi
[16:17] <zumbrunn> and see you here again soo :-)
[16:18] <p3k> :)
