CarlosRuiz: Good morning
tbayen__: Daarestiet
red1: Hola and good morning from Libya
mzuniga_ergio: good morning
nmicoud: Bonjour !
CarlosRuiz: I'll be checking JIRA issues - please let me know if you're interested in any specific issue to review
nmicoud: I'd be interested in 332 (http://jira.idempiere.com/browse/IDEMPIERE-332) ; document sequence enhancements
nmicoud: i've added a migration script to the ticket to replace package ; so it should be easier to review
CarlosRuiz: good - will check it
nmicoud: thanks
hahmed: Hello everyone
CarlosRuiz: Hi Hesham
hahmed: its quiet here so I guess I didn't miss anything
CarlosRuiz: :-) you didn't - reviewing JIRA tickets - Nicolas suggested 332
hahmed: any feedback on IDEMPIERE-341 (adding tab to ZKUI) so I can accordingly update IDEMPIERE-320
hahmed: is it common to use TAB in description, document Notes fields
CarlosRuiz: I'm not sure - sounds like "not a big deal" - personally I have never used tabs within descriptions, but opened that ticket to query input from others
a42niem: hi everyone
hahmed: hi a42niem
tbayen: Hi Dirk
nmicoud: hi
hahmed: the ability to navigate using TAB is however very useful, the tab behaviour for TextArea it is a major slowdown for high volume data entry using keyboard (1000 documents per day per user)
CarlosRuiz: yep agree
tbayen: hahmed, Yes - did not see this entry before. I fully agree.
CarlosRuiz: I would be fine if the editor allows to add Tabs / but seems like the editor doesn't either on zkwebui
hahmed: on swing we can use Ctrl+Tab (since shift+tab is used to focus previous)
CarlosRuiz: hahmed, can you check on your implementation if you still can add tabs using the field editor? (I mean, right-click -> Editor)
CarlosRuiz: I didn't conduct that test
hahmed: no can not since editor also uses CTextArea
Pavol: Hello community! Can somebody help me with idempiere zk customizations?
hahmed: Pavol: go ahead and ask
hahmed: CarlosRuiz: the only way to add tabs in ZK and in Swing after my changeset is to copy and paste from notepad etc
CarlosRuiz: well, sounds like a valid workaround - if the need is so unlikely as I suspect (nobody have asked about this before on webui)
Pavol: I was developing on adempiere until now, but I'd like to migrate on iDempiere, so... I succesfully cloned repository into my eclipse, created packages (buckminster..), all's working - running ZK. But I'd like to create an additional 'project' or 'plugin', which will completely replace old ZK classes (plugin from trunk) with lots of new customized ZK classes - something like zkcustomizations.jar in old adempiere
a42niem: i remember problems in using tab within a text area using the internal document engine
Pavol: in adempiere eclipse dev. workspace I was using another new project, which was using adempiere trunk in its classloader paths, so it works..
red1: Pavol: maybe u can dupe the same zk plugins + actual changes under another name and just uncheck the old zk for your new one to take effect
red1: AFAIU that is the power of OSGi
hahmed: Pavol: what kind of classes are you replacing? Models? Can you not do the same using some other mechanism (model validators, callouts etc)
hahmed: CarlosRuiz: so you can then review my changeset and integrate it for swing IDEMPIERE-320
CarlosRuiz: I made some comments yesternight
Pavol: And is there some trick, how to create some "customization" plugin, which will completely replace classes from target plugin if deploy on server?
CarlosRuiz: ah / you already fixed
CarlosRuiz: you're fast :-)
hahmed: :)
CarlosRuiz: http://demo.idempiere.com/webui/ was just updated
CarlosRuiz: you can enjoy the new "Info Product" window brought to you by Hahmed
Pavol: hahmed: The problem is, that it's not only models.. but also lots of classes like AbstractAdWindowPanel etc. and also new funcionalities
hahmed: Pavol: new functionalities can be added in a new plugin, replacing existing classes, AFAIK, would require changes to iDempiere source, unlike before you can not add a new jar to replace existing classes
hahmed: Pavol: Let me check one thing however
nmicoud: i've read spec for the new InfoProduct window, souds very interesting ! Thanks a lot ; just my 2 cents : the link label for the panel is "Product &Info" ; maybe try to remove "&" ?
CarlosRuiz: agree Nicolas
CarlosRuiz: found the fix on DPViews - testing
Pavol: hahmed: Ok, so if I can add new funcionalities into ZK, replacing lots of existing classes - I've to create new plugin and "configure" this plugin to replace existing classes in ZK plugin?
nmicoud: and 2 other cents : link for RecordInfo panel seems to be left align ; shouldn't be right align ? ; at first sight, i thought it was missing
red1: Pavol, previously it was java overload, now it is plugin replacement so you can decouple the old one .. or recouple the old one easily, unlike before
CarlosRuiz: Pavol - it can be good also to check with community if the need of changing AbstractAdWindowPanel is caused because a lack of an extension point
red1: cya later.. leaving office.
CarlosRuiz: c u red1
tbayen: c u
Pavol: bye
CarlosRuiz: nmicoud, what is "link for RecordInfo panel"
nmicoud: 1/1 or 1/2 at the bottom of windows
nmicoud: it shows number of records
CarlosRuiz: seems fine here with product window showing "1/53"
hahmed: Pavol: new plugin to add NEW functionality, for replacing no way other than to change iDempiere source
nmicoud: on Djoudi and Sales order windows, "x/y" are left align. You don't have the same ?
CIA-93: iDempiere: globalqss * a975d403666c r7403 /org.adempiere.ui.zk/WEB-INF/src/org/adempiere/webui/dashboard/DPViews.java: related to IDEMPIERE-337 / as suggested by NMicoud on weekly iDempiere meeting - drop the & from the info product link
CarlosRuiz: no, that textbox is on the right
CarlosRuiz: small and on down - right corner
nmicoud: :-/
nmicoud: i'll try with another browser
nmicoud: it's ok using google chrome, and nok using FF
CarlosRuiz: checking with FF ...
Pavol: And if I create new functionalities, and my changes (my own plugin, new classes) need to override some trunk classes (only for my use) - is there some solution without ExtensionPoints? red1 introduced some plugin replacement, I'm looking for something like plugin overload
hahmed: Pavol: you can use fragment project, but it still requires changing the base plugins MANIFEST
CarlosRuiz: nmicoud, on firefox it appears a big box using half of the status line
nmicoud: yep
CarlosRuiz: I would recommend to open a zk6 jira ticket / attaching the screenshot and mentioning that is specific to firefox
Pavol: hahmed: Ok, I'll search some info about fragmented osgi plugins
hahmed: Pavol: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Steps_to_use_Fragments_to_patch_a_plug-in
nmicoud: ok, 'ill do it Carlos ;
buildmaster: Project iDempiere build #243: SUCCESS in 21 min: http://jenkins.idempiere.com/job/iDempiere/243/
buildmaster: globalqss: related to IDEMPIERE-337 / as suggested by NMicoud on weekly iDempiere meeting - drop the & from the info product link
nmicoud: CarlosRuiz : did you manage to test ticket 332 ? i think you're doing it on postgresql and i can't test it (i got only oracle databse)
CarlosRuiz: not yet
CarlosRuiz: now checking 320
nmicoud: ok
CIA-93: iDempiere: hahmed * b5751f19c0b7 r7404 / (3 files in 3 dirs):

CIA-93: iDempiere: (transplanted from 1c201bf217991c1d82d05f8eaa4bc2711d69c355)
CarlosRuiz: ready - moving to 332
nmicoud: have fun ;-)
CarlosRuiz: so, the IDEMPIERE-332_DB_Change_AD_Sequence_No.sql was not integrated on the migration scripts
CarlosRuiz: neither IDEMPIERE-332_OracleProcedures.sql
CarlosRuiz: ok, I'll need more time to test this and port the two scripts to postgresql
nmicoud: yes, because it was manually made and tested only on oracle
CarlosRuiz: don't worry, I'll port to postgres
nmicoud: fine
CarlosRuiz: seems like you reformatted the code :-) is showing changes on many lines about tabs and spaces
nmicoud: that's possible
CarlosRuiz: ah / the attached patch applied cleanly on 361
nmicoud: yep, done on 361, not idempiere
CarlosRuiz: nmicoud, at first sight the code seems right - but I need to conduct tesets
CarlosRuiz: tests
nmicoud: ok, fine
CarlosRuiz: so, please let me check it deeply
nmicoud: yep, no problem, modification are huge, so it need time
CarlosRuiz: the tab and space changes makes the peer review harder too
CarlosRuiz: because you cannot realize if something was changed or is just cosmetic :-)
