That should be correct though..? 01:49:55 well once I changed it it started to work properly 01:50:04 *** rpinney has quit (Quit: Page closed) 01:50:42 Seems to me there must be a bigger problem then. 01:50:46 Let me step through the code. 01:50:59 now ChrisMorgan for perl the original launcher used the %PATH% variable to add the perl directory, does pal support %PATH% modification yet? 01:51:14 Sure. 01:51:21 e.g. PATH=%PATH%;... 01:51:33 ok great 01:51:38 It's got full environment variable substitution in the Environment section, so you can just use it that way. 01:52:55 JohnTHaller: for perl strawberry perl was causing too many problems to some people, so we are going to have to switch to active state's perl binary last I checked they had a zip distribution which could be downloaded as a online plugin installer 01:53:18 I thought strawberry perl was keen on helping us? 01:54:06 it's the way the perl xchat perl plugin is coded atm, I haven't touched much of the plugin code 01:54:44 ah 01:54:56 well, we can do an online active state installer for the addon for pchat then for now. 01:55:10 sounds good to me then 01:55:23 ZachThibeau: not good... it should all be working, stepping through it all seems right. 01:56:08 maybe it's specific bug's related to certain apps? 01:56:13 ZachThibeau or Gizmokid2005, you wanna see site redesign shots? 01:56:18 yeah syre 01:56:20 **sure 01:56:34 ChrisMorgan: for the path does this look alright? PATH=%PATH%;%PAL:AppDir%\perl\bin 01:56:44 absolutely JohnTHaller 01:57:11 ChrisMorgan, I PMed one to you a couple mins ago 01:57:11 ZachThibeau: that looks fine. 01:57:24 O_O WOW 01:57:39 Take into consideration PATH precedence; sometimes working at the start of the path will be safer. 01:58:06 JohnTHaller: yeah, I saw it. Again, it's growing on me. 01:58:33 The footer has had the most work. 01:59:06 ok PChat Portable 1.1 is ready for release :), I've done some nice work in this release 01:59:36 Yeah, I like the footer most. 02:00:32 ZachThibeau: I'm not quite happy about this language switching thing. I wonder whether you might be safer to remain with your current launcher and just send me the PAL edition of it to see if I can work out what's happening. 02:00:56 ok Chris 02:01:08 What do you reckon? 02:01:14 I'll package up the pal version for you now if you want 02:01:54 That'd be good, thanks. 02:02:38 just give me 2 minutes to switch to my desktop version and I'll get it packaged for you and I like to use the PAL Launcher since it's the only launcher I got language switching to work at all 02:03:16 *** ZachThibeau has quit (Quit: Leaving) 02:04:03 *** ZachThibeau (ZachThibea@unaffiliated/zachthibeau) has joined #portableapps 02:04:38 *** SergentSiler is now known as SrgSiler|AFK 02:05:20 generating PortableApps.com Installer package now for PChat 02:06:48 uploading now 02:12:38 argh I wish my connection was faster atm :/ 02:16:55 *** Oni-Neoxes has quit (Quit: Quit... D:) 02:17:34 BTW JohnTHaller, I tried modifying the buttons a couple of ways changing the border radius, joining two side-by-side buttons together, adding more box-shadows to get an ever-so-slightly raised surface. Fun playing with it ;-) 02:18:39 One thing, the select element is missing from the :hover effect which darkens the border. 02:22:08 still uploading Chris 02:24:58 http://chrismorgan.info/temp/PortableApps.comButtonsRetro.png 02:27:48 Or the "boring" variant without the uneven border radius: http://chrismorgan.info/temp/PortableApps.comButtons2.png 02:28:38 Something's just occurred to me... when it takes the screenshot, the window loses focus, and so the cursor stops being a hand. How interesting. 02:29:18 ChrisMorgan: http://pchat-irc.com/PChatPortable_1.1.paf.exe 02:29:31 Got it, thanks 02:29:58 np 02:31:11 just ping me if you found anything wrong, personally it seems to be working just fine :/ 02:32:02 I see you're using LANG=%PortableApps.comLocaleglibc%, so the [Language] section is not being used for anything at the moment. 03:05:08 ZachThibeau: realised one thing about it: if you set CheckIfExists, you should also set DefaultIfNotExists, otherwise if it doesn't exist, it'll get a blank string. 03:08:06 ZachThibeau: another thing: you probably want to quote the -d value for paths with spaces? 03:19:20 ChrisMorgan: The joined buttons thing is cool 03:22:07 updated the stylesheet. select will hover now. and darkened up the borders 03:24:38 The problem with the joined buttons thing is that it's a bit hard to do predictably for all situations. 03:24:49 Yeah 03:24:57 And Drupal doesn't have it built in to understand it. 03:24:59 You can do :first-thingummy and :last-thingummy to get some of it, but managing the margin is a bit tricky. 03:25:13 ah 03:26:14 In there, I did margin-right: 0 on the first and margin-left: -5px on the second button, but that was because of the whitespace between them. Not sure if that can be gotten rid of without display: block or a bit more messy CSS. 03:26:42 Yeah. ANd getting it working properly in all browsers even when zoomed could be tricky 03:27:55 If I can effectively eradicate the whitespace in between (remember back into the distant past and try lots of things...) it'd be easy. 03:28:09 But if not, then you're going for absolute sizes which is nasty. 03:32:22 ZachThibeau: going back to using PAL:LanguageCustom is working fine for me as far as setting LANG is concerned (tried en_US - LANG= - and de - LANG=de). 03:33:18 Then there's just the minor thing that PChat doesn't launch at all. Does it support Windows Server 2003? 03:36:19 *** vf2nsr (~chatzilla@unaffiliated/vf2nsr) has joined #portableapps 03:38:42 JohnTHaller: float: left; margin: 0; does it for joining them together. 03:39:34 I think that'll mess up right-aligned ones like Split Summary for articles 03:41:01 Possibly. I'll try it. 03:41:51 Then I just remove the left/right border on one of them, round the left/right border-radius, remove the top: 1 in :hover and it looks great in the user edit page. 03:43:18 cool 03:43:26 JohnTHaller: the margin: 0 affects the Split Summary button, as I would expect, but not the float: left; 03:43:48 The teaser-button-wrapper float:right keeps it over on the right. 03:43:57 *** vf2nsr has quit (Quit: I am I was Now I gone) 03:44:21 I'll see if I can make a bit of CSS to do it all. 03:47:33 *** OliverK (~OliverKry@unaffiliated/oliverk) has joined #portableapps 03:48:44 ZachThibeau: this may also interest you; running PChat in Wine, where you get the console output: it works, but there are quite a few GTK warnings and whatnot. http://pastebin.com/2EVvexJ0 03:49:28 Not sure if the "Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module": `libcanberra-gtk-module.dll': Module not found" matters, but the "Error while trying to open the c:/devel/target/dd9b04a76900cdb40fad5d615475d28f/etc/gtk-2.0\im-multipress.conf configuration file: No such file or directory" sounds like it's trying to access paths from your devel machine or something like that. 03:49:44 The Pango font warnings can probably be ignored, I expect. 03:54:41 i see those devel errors all of the time 03:54:46 with other apps 03:55:00 not sure what it is supposed to mean . . . . 03:59:25 JohnTHaller: that darkened textbox change you just made is good. 04:04:05 thanks. I ditched the glow, darkened the borders and made it look more concave. my designer schooled me on best practices for forms. it really works. 04:04:33 *** OliverK has quit (Quit: Leaving) 04:05:52 Yep, I like it. 04:06:56 I've got my button-joining CSS working fine when there are three buttons, but on the user page the :first-of-type isn't working properly for some as yet unknown reason. 04:08:53 Trying :nth-of-type(x) I finally got it working at x=4 :-/ 04:09:29 *** OliverK|Away (~WifiWomba@unaffiliated/oliverk) has joined #portableapps 04:10:29 Yep, it's those three hidden inputs that are catching it :-( 04:11:01 :*-of-type still just means , not input.form-submit :-( 04:11:26 let it go :-) 04:11:28 work on other stuff 04:11:35 I think we're gonna keep our buttons as is anyway 04:12:43 It was a fun experiment if nothing else. I'd still like to get it working anyway... :-) 04:16:55 http://chrismorgan.info/temp/PortableApps.comButtonsJoined.png is how it looked in a node editing form (it worked fine without the Save button too, when it just had two buttons) 04:19:08 that looks really good 04:19:22 send me the css. i'll see if our designer digs it 04:22:06 http://chrismorgan.info/temp/portableapps.com-joined-buttons.css 04:23:12 The margin stuff could be altered so it doesn't change it... hang on, I'll do that now. 04:24:10 Fixed it, same URL. That removes the 2px shuffling left of the buttons. 04:25:18 Working for me on the user page, node add page, node edit page, 1-3 buttons. 04:25:46 If we ever have 4 buttons, that hack for the user page so that it gets the radius on the left side would need to be removed and user/*/edit would just have to suffer. 04:27:32 I reckon it looks quite nice actually. Which surprises me a bit in a way :P 04:28:10 Only tested in Firefox 3.6 on Linux so far. 04:28:33 Ok installer 2.0.2 is up: http://portableapps.com/news/2010-06-16_-_portableapps.com_installer_2.0.2 04:28:36 as is toucan 3.0 04:30:52 JohnTHaller:
