Online registration¶
I committed a series of changes with my unfinished work on #1307:
2017-01-04 07:50 : lino_welfare aa3c70d Merge branch ‘master’ of git+ssh://github.com/lino-framework/welfare
2017-01-04 07:50 : lino_welfare 8b86f55
I knew that the ticket is a challenge for Lino. Managing users is a quite complex chapter, and Lino was until now very minimalistic there because it was being used only in intranets.
Restore old icons for event states¶
I did #1343:
2017-01-04 08:10 : lino 87b4755 added new option use_silk_icons
2017-01-04 08:11 : lino_xl 0bbd93b use new option use_silk_icons in cal workflow
2017-01-04 08:11 : lino_welfare fd94266 tried new option use_silk_icons
Yesterday I thought to do this with Hamza because (1) it’s an interesting example of how taste can differ between developers and end-users and (2) because he would have helped me with scanning the git history in order to find the place where I removed the icons. But I solved (2) on my own (thanks to this discussion on SO):
$ go xl
$ git diff master~50 lino_xl/lib/cal/feedback.py
And concerning (1) it is more efficient to take two screenshots and document it also for future generations of Lino developers:
Above screenshots illustrate what our new attribute
lino.core.site.Site.use_silk_icons means.
I had fallen in love with the new icons (which actually are no icons but unicode symbols) because they are less intrusive, can be copied into documentation text, … but I agree that it was naive to believe that end-users would feel as me.
Notification system¶
Still fiddling with the notification system. I added a new field notify_myself (#1278) because at least during the current testing and development phase I want to get notified about my own actions, this will simplify things.
The Team variant or Lino Noi now also uses online registration
(i.e. lino_noi.lib.users). This is not so much because we want
this, but because otherwise I would have to write yet another user
detail for the Team variant.
