I'll draft up a new guideline and we can ratify it next meeting.. certainly sounds like we all think it's a step in the right direction 14:39:29 there is little arrows 14:39:38 when you move them it increases the step vlaue i think 14:39:41 #action ashimema to write up a guideline to be ratified at the next meeting. 14:40:00 it's if you want to display the little incrementing buttons 14:40:17 it also limits you to amounts fitting the step 14:40:24 step says how much those arrows will increment/decrement the value by 14:40:25 step=".01" shoudl eb above 14:40:38 trying to enter .005 not allowed 14:40:46 correct kidclamp.. though a proper patturn will also do that 14:41:03 yeah, that d{2} worries me 14:41:15 because we don't enforce this everywhere 14:41:22 our fields are 6 decimals 14:41:23 we could change that 14:41:24 mmm.. I was thinking that too 14:41:37 the trouble we have is the decimal separator 14:41:58 we perhaps need to fix that with a preference so we can optionally limit it to however many decimal places your currency supports (for example) 14:41:59 with number... we have seen strange things in different browsers/language settings/plack locale settings... 14:42:26 I think we should generally drop 'step' and improve the 'patturn' instead? 14:42:49 next topic... 14:42:54 #topic Review of coding guidelines 14:43:01 sounds good 14:43:10 #info Drop or Update `JS5: Enabling translation of language strings in linked JavaScript` now we have bug 21156 pushed 14:43:10 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21156 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, julian.maurice, Pushed to stable , Internationalization: plural forms, context, and more for JS files 14:43:33 I have already updated the guideline so it's not mandatory with a note 14:43:48 \o/ 14:43:53 but we should clarify it now we have bug 21156 pushed in master and 19.11 14:44:13 and friends 14:44:26 not mandatory with a note? 14:44:39 as in.. 14:44:47 I added `NOTE: Since Bug 21156 - Internationalization: plural forms, context, and more for JS files this rule is deprecated, one should now use the options available via that bug.` 14:45:27 I think we should now update the guideline as a whole to reflect whats available to us with bug 21156 14:45:42 i tihnk it would be nice to have an example of the new thing in the guildelines 14:45:55 or link to some commits to see how it's done... 14:46:02 exactly 14:46:19 I'll try to add a few examples 14:46:31 caroline wrote some good examples 14:46:37 #action ashimema to update the guidelines with examples of how we now expect this to be done. 14:46:40 ok.. that was easy 14:46:55 #topic Set time of next meeting 14:47:06 I have a last question 14:47:18 do we have a hashtag for the hackfest? 14:47:21 fire away Joubu 14:47:48 cait2 said we do.. but hasn't alluded to what it is yet 14:49:17 i think i was thinking of GBSD 14:49:20 we should have one 14:49:26 hackfest2020? 14:49:29 hm no koha 14:49:36 kohackfest2020? 14:49:38 Do we have an established pattern for the hackfest hashtag?
