    • Can you also add Agency/Service Lab as the first field in the Project Description module?  This will be a dropdown list.  I have to gather all the lab names but for now you can include: AFRL Rome, AFRL WP, APG, DOE, I2WD, NRL, RadBn Mods, SCMA, SOCOM, SPAWAR Atlantic and SPAWAR Pacific.Instructions: Please select the agency or service lab that will be managing this funding.

Phil 7.11.14

8:00 – 4:00 SR

  • DB Backups
  • Data Viz isn’t creating timelines any more. The information is going across, but the date is Jan 1 1970 and nothing shows.

    • Here’s the link again: http://philfeldman.com/PanelModuleTest.html

Phil 7.10.14

8:00 – 5:00SR

  • DB Backups
  • Deployed new FA
  • Tried a thing or two to speed up the DB. No joy.
  • Tested the new JS on IE8. Seems to work fine. Need to

Phil 7.9.14

8:00 – 4:00, 6:00 – 9:00SR

  • DB Backups
  • Deploy new FA
  • JavaScript
    • Tested with IE 8, and the CSS didn’t load correctly (wrong width textarea), and update didn’t work. Started the debugger, reloaded the page, and everything worked fine. Quit IE, restarted and reloaded and it still worked fine. After looking at the page a bit, I think the new stylesheets didn’t load.
    • Delete followed by update seems to be causing problems. The e.overwritten array has no elements. Need to test more. And now it works. Not sure what’s going on. Need to test more.
  • Cell height and label color are getting messed up in FA.
  • Today’s link: http://philfeldman.com/PanelModuleTest.html
  • Meeting with John Douglass (Google) on how to move projects along.

Phil 7.8.14

8:00 – 5:00 SR

  • DB Backups
  • Deployed new FA
  • Tested new JS code, seems to be working.
  • Added delete, which worked right the first time.
  • Added comboboxes, which worked the first time. The Apocalypse must be here.
  • Starting to add in all the sections. The Y.one() is returning the first table created, so the __id field is going to need more info.

Phil 7.7.14

8:00 – 12:00 SR

  • DB Backups
  • Leaving early for parent/doctor stuff
  • JavaScript
    • IE8 does not support Object.keys(). Here’s the fix: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18912932/object-keys-not-working-in-internet-explorer
    • Added the monkeypatch in and chased down the other bugs in the select/update code. I do want to redo this based only on <div>s and <input>s
    • Starting on the main form.
    • Here’s how you do a dropdown in a form. Need to add that to the config:
    • <form action=””>
      <select name=”cars”>
      <option value=”volvo”>Volvo</option>
      <option value=”saab”>Saab</option>
      <option value=”fiat”>Fiat</option>
      <option value=”audi”>Audi</option>
      </select>
      <br/>
      First name: <input type=”text” name=”firstname”><br>
      Last name: <input type=”text” name=”lastname”>
      </form>
    • Today’s work.

Phil 7.3.14

8:00 – 4:00 SR

  • The JS fix seems to work, though there seems to be a funky modal event that is keeping the module from working correctly.
  • Continue to modularize
  • I think I’d like to get the config items in the configArray to be easily converted to input tags.
  • Added an ‘edit’ button, but I think I’m going to change it to a ‘selected’ radiobox and then have an updated/delete selected button. Done. Working on adding in the needed actions.
    • Close. Updating seems to destroy something… http://philfeldman.com/PanelModuleTest.html
  • Database backups
  • Switch reports to June
  • Visualization components from dashboard
    • Direct annotation, with some drawing (braces, callouts, etc)
    • Horizontal and vertical bar charts
      • by value
      • by percentage
      • adjacent and stacked
    • Dials (Red/Yellow/Green and Red/Green)
    • Line charts
    • combination (adjacent bar plus line)
    • Scatter against colored BG (Green/Yellow/Red)
    • Automatically updated text.
    • Titles

Phil 7.2.14

8:00 – 5:30 SR

  • The test page doesn’t seem to be working with IE8. The yui-sam stylesheet isn’t loading, and the popup won’t show. The error says “Expected identifier, string or number” – configArray.push({name: ‘name’, type:’text’, default:’unset’}); It could be that ‘default’ is causing the problem since it’s a reserved word.
  • Yay! https://www.modern.ie/en-us/virtualization-tools#downloads
    • And that worked just fine. Tested the fix (replacing ‘default’ with ‘initialVal’) and all is well again!
  • Creating the PanelModule – wierd bugs, but here’s the initial version: http://philfeldman.com/PanelModuleTest.html

Phil 6.30.2014

8:00 – 3:00

  • Attempted to deploy new FA, but got a blank white screen. The player is 11.5.502.110. Weird.
  • Formbuilder.
  • Took a quick look at Polymer, which looks cool and is along the lines of what I’m wanting to build, but it appears alpha and broken-y.
  • While looking through my code example I’m prototyping, I noticed that the code was using a Y.Lang.sub() call where it appeared that an object containing values:
    • {ANSI: “55000”, STATE: “WISCONSIN”, TOTAL_POP: 5654774, LAND_AREA: 54310.1, POP_PER_SQ_MILE: 98.8}
    • was being inserted using the following format as a way of building table rows.
    • TEMPLATE_TR = ‘<tr id=”row_{ANSI}”><td>{STATE}</td><td>{TOTAL_POP}</td><td>{LAND_AREA}</td></tr>’;
    • So yay. Lots of other good stuf, including type checking. So pay more attention to this one! (http://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/api/classes/Lang.html)
    • Also, this means that dynamic forms and tables can be built, with strings and types fed in in the configuration argument
  • Here’s how the panel will animate: https://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/panel/panel-animate.html
  • Starting to combine the panel and the table/recordset. It’s going pretty smoothly. I’m still using the data array, but I’ll move to more form-based data tomorrow or wednesday. Nicely, the height of the panel resizes based on what’s in it.  And I should be able to use the same module for the login form.
