08:55:22 <vlad> Hi Xavier
08:55:55 <Xavier> Hi vlad : )
08:56:13 <Xavier> *rolling the first daily cigarette* ;p
08:56:18 <Xavier> Had a good week?
08:56:22 <Xavier> vlad quit (timeout)
08:57:09 <> vlad joins Farsides
08:57:32 <vlad> ya, pretty good. you?
08:58:56 <vlad> so, what's the plan for today?
08:59:50 <Xavier> good week, yep - it's good to have more time to code : )
08:59:58 <Xavier> so, for today
09:00:07 <Xavier> did you see my last email?
09:00:15 <Xavier> err, reply to you
09:01:01 <Xavier> about avoiding to refresh the game page, following the switch 
to a "desktop" interface
09:02:53 <vlad> yes, i did
09:03:31 <Xavier> what do you think? Is there a way to do this quickly or not?
09:03:54 <vlad> but, the main reason we do the refresh is to be able to change 
the address bar
09:04:06 <Xavier> yup
09:04:26 <Xavier> it was one of the original requirements yes
09:05:01 <vlad> i wander if we do it with an anchor: like hackit.cx#site_link
09:05:04 <Xavier> but if we switch to something like 
"http://hackit.cx/#www.google.com"; ?
09:05:10 <Xavier> yes, exactly
09:06:21 <vlad> ok, i'll have to research a little to see the implications. 
should i get the latest from the trunk?
09:06:39 <Xavier> yep
09:07:12 <Xavier> You'll need a make upgrade to get everything working
09:07:19 <vlad> ok
09:07:28 <Xavier> If you have any issue with the changes let me know
09:08:38 <vlad> it ask me for a google loader api key
09:08:42 <Xavier> About not reloading the page, I think the main issue will 
come from refreshing the various elements of the interface that are currently 
only loaded through the views
09:09:13 <Xavier> But I'll let you have a look - tell me what you think
09:09:20 <Xavier> yep
09:09:30 <Xavier> it also gives you the URL to get it 
09:09:52 <Xavier> It's for the instant search that has been added to the 
browser window
09:22:20 <vlad> for some reason the instant search is not working on my 
installation. probably because my domain is not a public one, but just an entry 
in my files?
09:22:53 <vlad> also, how do i make the browser go directly to the address i 
type? enter doesn't work
09:22:56 <Xavier> hmm, it should work with a local domain, it works on my laptop
09:23:34 <Xavier> ah, yes, for the address you still have to use the toolbar 
input on the top - we'll need to change that
09:24:16 <Xavier> For the instant search, did the make upgrade script correctly 
added the new config variable in the config.php file?
09:24:23 <vlad> i just tested on hackit.cx and it instant search doesn't work.
09:24:33 <vlad> yes i checked the config and i have the api key
09:24:58 <Xavier> really? that's weird, I've just tested it now on hackit.cx 
and it works
09:25:05 <Xavier> what browser are you using?
09:25:27 <vlad> firefox 3.6 i'm testing on chrome right now
09:26:23 <vlad> it doesn't work on chrome either
09:27:00 <Xavier> uh, wait, there is an issue - I just loaded it on firefox and 
it show a very different result than my chrome
09:27:21 <Xavier> humpf, lots of stuff are broken - maybe a cache issue
09:28:48 <Xavier> I'll have a look to fix those stuff - I get errors in firebug 
that I wasn't getting with chrome when I pushed yesterday
09:30:24 <vlad> ok, i'll start looking into the refresh problem
09:35:45 <Xavier> Can you try to reload hackit.cx to see if it fixed the issues?
09:37:44 <vlad> Xavier quit (timeout)
09:44:21 <vlad> yup, it works on hackit.cx. please push to launchpad so i can 
test on my local
09:44:53 <Xavier> done
09:47:42 <Xavier> sorry about that - I'll try to test more on firefox and clear 
the cache on my last test before merging. weird though...
09:50:21 <Xavier> vlad quit (timeout)
10:06:06 <vlad> ok, so i identified the following steps for the refresh:
10:07:22 <vlad> 1. modify the proxy logic. right now the proxy send some 
intermediary pages that reload the main page. i think it should send directly 
the requested page with a script attached that will change the anchor in the 
address bar
10:08:04 <Xavier> yep
10:08:21 <vlad> 2. modify the history mechannism. we have this script that 
overrides the back browser button in order to ensire proper history navigation. 
i'll have to see how to change it to work with the new program
10:08:59 <vlad> 3. make an ajax that retrieves the new site info on refresh 
(like hack/scan probability, tags etc)
10:09:30 <vlad> 4. the same ajax can handle the logging into the action table
10:09:37 <Xavier> sounds good to me
10:09:54 <vlad> 5. modify the go_to_site function fomr the missions
10:10:43 <vlad> i think that's it. did i miss anything?
10:11:11 <Xavier> not that I can think of - you thought of more things than I 
did
10:11:54 <vlad> if something new comes up, i'll put it in the chat
10:12:17 <Xavier> thanks vlad
10:12:18 <Xavier> Do you think you can achieve that today?
10:13:20 <vlad> i think so, my biggest fear are the first 2 steps,w hich are by 
far the most complicated ones. if ig go past those it should become easier
10:14:02 <Xavier> alright - good luck then
10:14:18 <Xavier> ping me if you need any help, especially with my latest 
changes
10:15:05 <vlad> ok, should i also move the search box from the main window to 
the browse one? so basically if i hit enter it will take me to the address in 
the search bar from the browser window, and the box from the main will dissapear
10:16:10 <Xavier> yep, that would be perfect
10:16:16 <Xavier> thanks : )
10:33:17 <Xavier> vlad quit (timeout)
15:56:17 <> vlad joins Farsides
15:58:19 <vlad> this seem to be more difficult than i thought :( No matter what 
i do, i can't seem to have the hisotry working without having the proxy browser 
window load twice
15:59:03 <Xavier> if it's just the proxy mbcontainer content that loads twice, 
it will be ok for now I think
15:59:20 <vlad> yes, just the container
15:59:50 <Xavier> The most important thing is that the whole page doesn't need 
to be refreshed, and that we keep the info updated
16:00:11 <Xavier> So don't worry, we can have another look later on for that 
one : )

17:25:04 <Xavier> vlad quit (timeout)
17:28:40 <tartaruga feliz> vlad quit (timeout)
17:41:23 <vlad> i implemented the functionality to update the site info once 
the site is changed in the container
17:42:16 <vlad> also, the script that changes the hashtag is working
17:43:10 <vlad> there is still stuff to do (like modifying the search function, 
modifying the particular case when the user goes to home, tests etc)
17:43:36 <vlad> i pushed to a new branched (browser-no-refresh)
17:43:48 <Xavier> ok, thanks, I'll have a look
17:44:08 <vlad> i will try to put in a few hours on monday so i can advance 
further
17:44:41 <vlad> but for now i wish you a happy new year!! :)
17:45:23 <vlad> bye bye
17:45:26 <Xavier> happy new year to you too! : )
17:45:28 <Xavier> thanks vlad
