<div dir="ltr">Hey Sam!<div><br></div><div>Thanks for the feedback, please notice that we already support automatic updates. This feature is simply to extend this microformat to mark some activities in the list so they don't get automatically updated or installed (ie., when they are too big for doing it massively).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Definitely, there are many things we can improve in the microformat updater, but sadly we can't assume there will be school server...</div><div><br></div><div>tch.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra">

<br></div><div>A few development cycles ago, dsd added a useful new feature: automatic activities updates. This has been of great help in deployments such as in Australia. However, because the current implementation will always update or install activities (when working in automatic mode), some deployments might be unable to use this feature. A real case scenario is when some of the activities are too big for massive activities updates.</div>

</div><p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">That sounds like a great idea! I think that automatic updates of any scale can only be positive for sugar!</p>
<p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">I don’t know a lot about the way the microformater thing works, but from what I’ve seen it seems to be pretty network intense. It seems to make 1 HTTP request per activity! This seems to be a lot of overhead! Maybe we could make a proxy thing that sits on the same server and works like this:</p>
<pre style="font-size:0.85em;font-family:Consolas,Inconsolata,Courier,monospace;font-size:1em;line-height:1.2em;margin:1.2em 0px"><code style="font-size:0.85em;font-family:Consolas,Inconsolata,Courier,monospace;margin:0px 0.15em;padding:0px 0.3em;white-space:pre-wrap;border:1px solid rgb(234,234,234);background-color:rgb(248,248,248);border-radius:3px;display:inline;white-space:pre-wrap;overflow:auto;border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding:0.5em 0.7em;display:block!important;display:block;padding:0.5em;color:rgb(51,51,51);background:none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(248,248,255)">Client --List of activities--> | Proxy --Individual activity requests--> Server |
| |<br> Slow Internet | Fast Connection (Same Machine) |
</code></pre><p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">Also is the server meant to be mirrored by schools (on lan) or deployments? A school version could reduce network traffic even more.</p>
<p style="margin:1.2em 0px!important">It looks like a good change :)</p>
