so knnniggett do you know if fixxxermet is back in action?
ic0n
hey all
asker
I've developed a timeline feature for the mobile app and have realized the way data is sent is very timeline unfriendly
knnniggett
Haven't spoke to him since last week. I know he is finishing up the sale of his Boston area home. He is in the final stage where the potential buyers haggle you to fix or replace things.
asker
before I go about hacking the API (again), I'd like to have a discussion on the right appraoch
Boston?
I thought he was a fellow Marylander
knnniggett
I thought he lived near Boston. Anyways, he moved to Colorado
asker
okay, so he is going to be out for a while then
ic0n: who do I need to slay with my sword for you to add that link between zm_session and APIs? (asker is not a valid choice)
ic0n
A lot of people. And then give me all their money.
asker
hah
you sound like a code mercenary!
ic0n
I have mouths to feed, and not enough hours in the day.
asker
okay, let me try and get into it. I've noticed you added ZMSESSID as a cookie in core.php - I assume that makes it available to read in the cake app
is there a common file I can add a check for ZMSESSID to kick out api requests if it doesn't exist?
ic0n
there is too much learning curve with cakephp for me to be fast.
asker
oh - so you don't know cakephp either?
knnniggett
At the moment, fixxxermet is our only resident cakephp expert
asker
aha, then I must say I've been asking too much
I may as well try and figure it out if ic0n also needs to figure it out
ic0n
I thought it would be easy, but now we need to upgrade our current auth scheme... every time I peer down the rabbit hole... it becomes a very strange place.
asker
let me start reading that damn cookbook today for cakephp - every question on SO points to it
ic0n: but if you link it to ZM_SESSION, you don't need to get into the auth issues
I thought this was the temporary fix till auth gets upgraded
ic0n
I thought that was what I did.
asker
no, so you added ZMSESSID to core.php
ic0n
maybe later today I'll have time to refresh my memory, on that and the 20 other projects for zm. Right Now I have real job to attend to.
asker
but not doing anything with it
all your other changes related to trying to add authentication (username/pwd/etc) to ZM, which I think you have given up on due to unavailability of that auth. algo
Damn, you make me feel bad about my real job
knnniggett: would you like to know why you should be learning cakephp starting today?
I dreamt that fixxxermet wanted to pass on the cakephp baton to you, dark knight. Dreams should not be messed with.
knnniggett
I'm being pulled in too many directions at once, but I do have a php book I've been meaning to read before I even start on cakephp. I've never really take the time to learn it well
asker
stop everything. This is your path to peace. bake that cake!
evertime I open that cookbook,I am repulsed by the Urls that CakePhp creates by default unless you change them
which therefore makes reverse engineering from URL to code hard. I really need to spend time getting the basics right - and that cookbook seems to be the anwwer

Anyone using wall mount tablets as a (semi-)permanent display of monitors? Got tablet and mounting recommendations?
rveach joined the channel
asker joined the channel
rveach
is there a terminal command I can run to see if ZM is stopped/started? is there a command to check the status of monitor?
I am still on 1.25
asker
rveach: can't speak for 1.25, but I run:
sudo zmdc.pl check --> if the web interface is running or not
sudo zmdc.pl status -- lists which monitors are running (and hence more accurate)
It's a new montage display that does both live and history, with the replay of history using a timeline-like display that you can scrub with a slider.
It also now has a 'fit' mode where you can scale individual monitors and it rearranges to fit them all on the current browser screen without scroll bars.
It also solves the connection limits on browers so as to permit it to run (hopefully) in any browser.

Linwood: did you resolve your git questions from the other day?
Linwood
Yes, I think so. Lots of digging led me to "git remote add upstream" and the fetch and merge to it. Not sure if that's the best way, but it seemed to work.
rexd666
yes https://help.github.com/articles/syncing-a-fork/ basics are in github help. fetch upstream, checkout branch you want to merge to, merge upstream/master in, fix conflicts with git mergetool, complete merge commit and push to origin
Linwood
Yeah, found that. It's pretty easy once you find the right terminology, still getting use to translating the concepts from tfs into git. Thanks.
