21:07:09 < agk> markvandenborre: insert into scheduling apps 21:07:19 < agk> two situations - 1) apps that get changed to support it 21:07:24 < agk> 2) ones that don't 21:07:35 < agk> the second ones still display things we put into the website XML 21:07:50 < agk> so are there particularURLs we can generate for them? 21:08:04 < agk> eg "navigate to here from " url? 21:08:57 < agk> then we can look for somewhere to put that in the xml 21:09:03 < agk> which the existing apps use 21:10:02 < agk> (just like 'watch this live now!' urls appear in the apps if they refresh

What I can do in FOSDEM Companion:

1) Add a button to open nav.fosdem.org in the "campus map" screen.

2) Add a button or link to navigate to the appropriate room in the talk details screen. For this I can build an URL using the room data present in the pentabarf file ("room" tag). Looks like nav.fosdem.org/d/[room_id] should do it but I need a way to find out the room id. If that helps, I can transform the room name using a specific set or rules. For example, the app already uses a function which transforms a room name to a local resource name to look for a suitable image. Example: "H.2215 (Ferrer)" -> "h2215".

Hey @cbeyls, that sounds great. Transforming the room names to something more suitable for a url would be useful. We can adapt what we currently have to something that's easier for you.

markvdb commented 7 years ago

If we adapt to something for room naming scheme, it needs to be what is in the pentabarf xml output.

That would be the easiest. But there are spaces and parenthesis in these names and I don't know if these are allowed for room ids in your system (of course the app will URL-encode them).

kergon commented 7 years ago

Taken from the website presentation, the rooms are:
aw1120 aw1121 aw1124 aw1125 aw1126 h1301_cornil h1302_depage h1308_rolin h1309_van_rijn h2111 h2213 h2214 h2215_ferrer h3227 h3228 janson k1105_la_fontaine k3201 k3401 k4201 k4401 k4601 ua2114_baudoux ua2220_guillissen ub2147 ub2252a_lameere ud2120_chavanne ud2218a ud2corridor

kergon commented 7 years ago

If someone provides an agreed 'navigate to this room' URL, I can put this into the XML, so all the apps will see it, just like the 'Live video stream from the room' URLs appear for roughly 20 minutes before and after each talk. Example:

https://staging.fosdem.org/2017/schedule/event/dinosaurs/

It's not ideal, as it should really be part of the room properties, not the event, but it's likely to be the simplest way to get the links out there without every app developer needing to make changes.

cbeyls commented 7 years ago

People won't see "live" changes to the file in the apps anyway, because all apps I'm aware off load the big pentabarf XML file once then work offline from it.

cbeyls commented 7 years ago

Okay, I'm done integrating 1 and 2. For 2, the app will transform the room names to "slugs" so they match the URLs on the website. I reused the code the app uses to transform speaker names to slugs. By the way, I'm still missing a few room images: UD2.218A, UB2.147, H.3227, H.3228. Do you know where I can find them?

kergon commented 7 years ago

On the side-issue, I've extended the window for the live streaming links to 2 days, assuming most people will refresh their offline XML at least once a day to pick up the latest schedule changes.

kergon commented 7 years ago

Nav links though, I'm still waiting to know what URL to use for "Navigate to $this_room"

cbeyls commented 7 years ago

For nav links you should use http://nav.fosdem.org/d/[room_slug] where [room_slug] is a URL-friendly version of the room name in the schedule data. It's the name that is used in the FOSDEM website URLs.

"FOSDEM Companion" already does this in the latest version, so if you add a nav link it would be useful for other apps.

For reference here is the Java code which transforms a string to a "slug".
