[11:12] lincolna ok, so R is working, but plugin r still gives " Plugin R/RR: Cached file does not exist" on any page I put it on
[11:13] lincolna even when I change the advanced settings nto not bother with a cache
[11:13] lincolna even when I change the advanced settings not not bother with a cache
[11:14] lincolna running an Ubuntu 16.04 LAMP stack with Tiki 18.1
[11:15] lincolna hmm, not sure why I thought I was running Tiki 19 yesterday, clearly wasn't paying attention
[11:25] lincolna so I'd enabled plugin R but it wasn't installed?! hmm, seems odd
[12:18] Jyhem sorry lincolna, no time today. Do you think you could enter a bug on dev.tiki.org and reproduce the issue on a Tiki18 "show" instance?
[12:20] lincolna I suspect its something with my setup rather than a bug per se
[12:24] lincolna ok, so fun fact - if I uninstall R from the system, same error still
[12:24] lincolna so it's like Tiki is not finding my R install?

[12:44] lincolna is there something I need to do to point Tiki towards it?

[13:57] Jyhem lincolna: as I mentioned, I will be away for the day, but I am interested in looking this up tomorrow afternoon if you are available.
[14:02] lincolna probably
[14:09] lincolna as said,I tihink its a setup issue, not a bug
[14:09] lincolna but have basehd my head against it for long enough now
[14:09] lincolna but have bashed my head against it for long enough now
[14:19] lincolna I'm not really prepared to set up another tiki install for this mind
[14:19] lincolna interestingly, I tried applying the "r_test" profile, but that doesn't work either
[14:32] lincolna Oh wow, the mathematical calculation tracker field's syntax is gibberish
[14:36] lincolna Or maybe it isn't, but the examples given in the docs simply don't work
[14:42]  marclaporte joined #tikiwiki
[14:47] lincolna the example says "(tracker-field
[14:47] lincolna (object type object-id)
[14:47] lincolna (field priority)
[14:47] lincolna )"
[14:47] lincolna should return the contents of that field
[14:48] lincolna but what it actually returns is "Variable not found "type"."
[14:53] lincolna and turns out I didn't need that anyway
[15:39] fabricius polom
[15:41] fabricius hi lincolna, yesterday I just wanted to know wether you are more into R or more into Tiki, as I have nearly no knowledge of R but am interested to use R in a Tiki project.
[15:44] fabricius lincolna: I am working with tracker field mathematical calculation and it works. Anyway it is partly limited to either numeric fields data or numbers of dropdown/multiselect. It cannot calculate numbers from static text field (static text is not considered as number) ... I need it to calculate the price of a conference based on partipants type
[16:16] lincolna fabricius - later realised I could use stuff from that tracker without using the ludciorusly complicated syntax
[16:16] lincolna anyway, never really used R before, but wanted to plot some stuff from a tracker
[16:16] lincolna and pluginR seemed to be the only real option
[16:17] lincolna and having R available on the wiki is nobad thing
[16:27] fabricius lincolna: *as far as I know* you need an R server installed on the same machine as where Tiki is installed and R servers do not run on average shared hosting. The R calculation runs on the R server whilst the display runs in Tiki with R plugins interlinked to that server.
[16:27] lincolna I've got R installed
[16:27] fabricius ok
[16:28] lincolna but it's not working. The fact that I get the same error with and without R installed is interesting
[16:29] fabricius Then maybe one day I might come back to you when I have some beginners question about how to get R server running, given i have an adequate machine (ex. a Docker in the Hetzner cloud) ...
[16:30] fabricius ... maybe you missed how to connect the R plugin to the server? Did you find the R documentation of Tiki? Xavi from Spain worked a lot with R and made some documentation
[16:30] lincolna that's my best guess
[16:30] lincolna the documentation I've found mentions no such connection though
[16:34] fabricius let me have a look
