00:29 * drojf can't believe ptfs is continuing with that bullshit :(
00:33 NateC left #koha
00:44 rangi yeah its pretty lame
00:45 drojf didn't they say something like "we just inherited that claim and we won't continue" or did i dream that?
00:50 rangi they did say that
00:50 rangi they said lots of things
00:50 rangi like we dont have a fork
00:50 rangi and we participate in teh community
00:56 drojf they are pretty trustworthy
00:58 Space_Librarian :)
01:06 * drojf eliminated a huge problem for our data import and not even ptfs will ruin my mood

01:13 Space_Librarian eythian ++ for a great explanation.
01:13 eythian cool :)
01:14 pgriffith We're looking for solid, inexpensive software for our fledgling Church library. I've found "Koha" via a search, but so far it seems quite difficult to get going. We're using a Windows 7 PC, nothing noteworthy about the hardware, I've downloaded the latest Koha software, but am stymied by: Linux (must I use it? If so, I probably should drop out right now...)
01:14 pgriffith Apache (where, exactly, do I get the right package), MySQL and Perl (haven't gotten far enough yet on these to know what to ask).
01:15 eythian pgriffith: Koha is a server-based application, designed to be used from other computers through a webbrowser. Servers tend to run Linux, so Koha runs on Linux.
01:15 rangi you can run it in a vm (under vmware for example)
01:15 eythian The computer used to access it can run anything you like however, so long as it has a web browser.
01:16 mtj drojf:  many of liblime's *clients* can't believe ptfs is continuing with that bullshit , too ;P
01:16 pgriffith I found a YouTube Link which seems to detail installation on a Windows machine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ou7WgoeSmOc
01:16 mtj according to this -> http://www.librarytechnology.o[…]erceptions2011.pl
01:17 eythian pgriffith: that's koha version 2.2.8
01:17 eythian it's very old.
01:17 eythian like, 3 or 4 years old
01:17 rangi i think 5 or 6
01:17 rangi 3.0 was 2008
01:17 eythian ah right. very, very old then.
01:18 pgriffith eythian: Thanks for the quick explanation. Is it not possible to set this up on a Windows machine, access it from the same machine, as well as eventually add access to "the outside"?
01:19 eythian It is, you could install Linux inside a virtual machine.
01:19 drojf mtj: a solid last place for satisfaction with the company. well earned i would say
01:19 eythian And Koha on that.
01:21 melia left #koha
01:22 pgriffith rangi: Do you mean "VMware Server"?
01:22 rangi possibly
01:23 mtj pgriffith:  for the win, there's been a mighty *43* releases - since Koha 2.x ! :)
01:23 mtj mason@xen1:~/g/head$ git tag|grep 'v3'|wc -l
01:23 pgriffith OK, I see a "Free Copy" download for VMware Server. After that, how do I locate the correct versions of Apache, MySQL and Perl? Is there info on the Koha site? Couldn't find it...
01:24 mtj 43
01:24 eythian pgriffith: where do you see that?
01:25 eythian oh
01:25 eythian wait
01:25 eythian I misread
01:25 pgriffith (The Koha version I downloaded is called 3.06.03)
01:25 drojf pgriffith: if you install debian gnu/linux in your virtual machine and use the koha debian packages, you will get everything else automatically. but you need the operating system first
01:25 talljoy left #koha
01:25 eythian Keep in mind, if you don't know Linux, you're either going to have a lot of learning to do, or perhaps better finding someone who does know it to help you.
01:27 pgriffith Right, I think this is over my head... Any alternatives, or is this pretty much the only way to proceed with Koha?
01:28 eythian there is a live CD setup out there. I don't know how well it works, but you could install that into a vm.
01:29 eythian In theory it should be just install-and-go.
01:29 pgriffith Can you point me to it?
01:31 eythian http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]irtual_Appliances <-- not quite what I was thinking, but might be worth a look
01:32 pgriffith I'll work on this angle -- thanks for the info and the link. Good night!
01:34 pgriffith left #koha
01:39 drojf good night #koha
01:41 rangi Right off to pick up kahu

02:31 bencahill hey guys, how fast would an i5 or athlon x4 be (roughly) in comparison to a p4 2.5? I'm getting ~6-8 sec pageloads right now
02:33 eythian I think you're best working out where the slowdown is coming from first.
02:33 eythian 6-8 seconds is a lot for any modern computer.
02:35 Judit left #koha
02:44 bencahill eythian: I profiled it a while back, and got it a bit faster, but after that, there wasn't any one thing that was slow, it just all contributed a little :( (note that I know very little about perl in general)
02:44 eythian have you checked to see if it's the database, or zebra, or apache, or ...?
02:45 bencahill I know it uses 100% cpu the whole time it's loading
02:45 bencahill ...and that's mysql, iirc...wait a min, lemme test some
02:47 * bencahill waits for windows to start responding :(
02:51 eythian if it's mysql, maybe you are missing an index on an important query, or haven't given it enough memory to cache what it needs.

02:51 wizzyrea1 is now known as wizzyrea
02:52 wizzyrea has the eerie feeling?
02:52 wizzyrea has the eerie feeling she?
02:52 wahanui has the eerie feeling she is being conspired against.
02:52 * wizzyrea giggles
02:53 * bencahill can't do proper testing here because the internet at server is apparently using snail mail right now...
02:53 bencahill but I can do local profiling...
02:53 * bencahill reads up on it again
02:53 wizzyrea also nifty?
02:53 wahanui also nifty is the fact that they now offer a memcached server.
03:00 bencahill argh, so slow!
03:01 wizzyrea chocolate?
03:01 wahanui i guess chocolate is finite, we ate it all :)
03:05 Space_Librarian mmm.... chocolate. I could do with some.
03:05 bencahill eythian: it's too slow (internet) to debug right now...but should I be able to get decent (e.g. < 3sec) pageloads on a p4 2.5?
03:06 eythian I should think so
03:07 bencahill cool...I'll pop back on sometime when I'm physically at the server...maybe Sun. night
03:10 wizzyrea favorite quotes?
03:10 wahanui 23: how to identify with huginn, 123: mad schemes, 158: test all the things
03:11 wizzyrea real proper answer?
03:11 wahanui real proper answer is, like, "why aren't there naked flight attendants"
03:11 wizzyrea rofl
03:11 * wizzyrea dies laughing

04:18 wizzyrea well that is odd
04:18 wizzyrea has anyone else noticed the circulation buttons don't seem to work right in translations?
04:19 wizzyrea on circulation.pl and moremember.pl, specifically, and even more specifically, in en-NZ
04:19 wizzyrea behaviour also exists in de-de
04:19 eythian are there js errors? That's often what causes that sort of thing
04:20 wizzyrea must be OH i wonder if ... i bet I know why this is.
04:20 wizzyrea or... not.
04:20 wizzyrea but yes, there probably are js errors.
04:25 wizzyrea I wonder if it has to do with the patch for 7327 - these translations were generated with those modifications
04:26 wizzyrea will have to look into that tomorrow

05:36 jurgens joined #koha
05:38 jurgens Maybe someone can help: I've truncated all the tables in my mysql koha database, but still my staff client is able to search the catalogue and provide me with results. Clicking on one of these results gives me an error page with this line: Can't call method "field" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Koha.pm line 1164.
05:39 BobB joined #koha
05:39 eythian jurgens: you need to reindex zebra
05:40 eythian searching happens through zebra, and the database is used to get all the extra data.
05:40 jurgens How do I do this? I can't figure out were to do this - I am new to Linux and Koha, but learning fast.
05:40 jurgens Thanks eythian, a starting point!
05:41 eythian jurgens: how did you install koha? From packages or from a tar.gz?
05:41 eythian (or some other method)
05:41 jurgens I did it from a LiveCD
05:41 eythian ah. hmm.
05:42 jurgens I uploaded a lot of bibs, but decided to include barcodes in the 952 fiels, and also added the ISBN-10 to the ISBN-13 fields, hence i decided to do this by deleting the previous uploaded ones.
05:42 eythian hmm. What's the output of running 'locate rebuild_zebra'?
05:43 jurgens This sort of worked ( i did it through koha) but then decided to truncate the tables as i was getting this error.
05:43 eythian (I don't know how the livecd is laid out, so this is to establish that)
05:43 eythian don't worry, the error is perfectly normal for what you did, and rebuilding zebra indices is a pretty standard process.
05:44 jurgens I ran that in terminal [locate rebuild_zebra].. nothing happens
05:44 eythian when you say 'nothing happens', what sort of nothing?
05:45 jurgens it appears to execute, but no output, just a new command line
05:45 eythian OK cool
05:45 eythian run 'sudo updatedb'
05:45 eythian this may take several minutes to complete
05:46 jurgens its thinking..
05:46 jurgens ok.. nothing
05:46 eythian that's fine. Try the locate again
05:46 jurgens Hi 5!
05:47 cait eythian++ :)
05:47 eythian so what's it say?
05:47 jurgens ok sorry, can't paste it here for some reason.. but
05:48 eythian hmm, well that doesn't matter too much, so long as it works
05:48 eythian now try 'locate koha-conf.xml'
05:48 jurgens ... ok i typed it out but didn't print it here..
05:48 jurgens there are two locations basically.
05:48 eythian because it started with a '/'
05:48 jurgens one in migration tools
05:48 eythian put a space in the front
05:48 jurgens /home/koha/Desktop/Liblime/misc/​migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl /usr/share/koha/bin/migrat​ion_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl
05:48 eythian before the '/', which will make IRC not see it as a command
05:49 eythian liblime? Where did you find the livecd?
05:49 eythian but anyway, it's probably the second one we want.
05:49 eythian now do the locate koha-conf.xml
05:50 jurgens oops.. sorry i accidentally closed the widnow
05:50 jurgens what did you say eythian
05:50 eythian run 'locate koha-conf.xml'
05:51 jurgens /home/koha/Desktop/Liblime/misc/​migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl /usr/share/koha/bin/migrat​ion_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl koha@koha:~$ locate koha-conf.xml /etc/koha/koha-conf.xml /etc/koha/koha-conf.xml_koha_3_02_00_004 /home/koha/Desktop/Liblime/etc/koha-conf.xml
05:51 jurgens sorry .. here
05:52 jurgens /etc/koha/koha-conf.xml /etc/koha/koha-conf.xml_koha_3_02_00_004 /home/koha/Desktop/Liblime/etc/koha-conf.xml
05:52 eythian OK cool. Now one more: grep koha /etc/passwd
05:52 jurgens koha:x:1000:1000:koha,,,:/home/koha:/bin/bash
05:53 eythian sweet. OK, now: KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/koha-conf.xml /usr/share/koha/bin/migrat​ion_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -v -r -a -b
05:53 eythian no wait
05:53 eythian first do 'whoami'
05:54 jurgens it says koha
05:54 eythian oh sweet
05:54 eythian then do that command just above
05:54 jurgens it did a few things
05:54 eythian it should have put a lot of output
05:54 jurgens Yup
05:54 eythian things like 'exporting 0 records' and so forth
05:55 jurgens yup
05:55 eythian anyway, try your searching again
05:55 jurgens yeah.. came up with results again
05:55 eythian that's unexpected
05:56 eythian wait, when you truncated stuff in your database, what tables did you do that to?
05:56 jurgens i think the problem could be the liblime thing, because i did try to see how the update process work.. it didn't work exactly
05:56 jurgens all of them.
05:56 eythian hmm. did the rebuild_zebra thing give anything that looked like an error?
05:57 jurgens so this is the error when clicking on a search result: Can't call method "field" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Koha.pm line 1164.
05:57 eythian where does the liblime thing come from? You might be right that it's confusing matters.
05:57 eythian yeah, it's trying to load a record but failing most likely
05:58 jurgens eythian, if i have say items and bib records in koha that I want to keep, and i ran the commands you just showed, will it just reindex those items or if it all worked delete them too?
05:58 jurgens just a question for future reference
05:58 eythian that command makes sure that the search index is in sync with what's in the database.
05:58 eythian It's always safe to do
05:59 jurgens ok, good. I think I will reinstall this live cd.. and load up a few items, truncate the tables and try your commands again. Hopefully this will all work then!
06:00 eythian OK. I'd also recommend installing from the debian packages, they provide tools to make things like that easier.
06:00 eythian It's just a bit more work to set it up in the first place.
06:00 jurgens I have tried before, from the debian packages.. but I couldn't get it to install correctly.
06:00 Amit_Gupta left #koha
06:01 jurgens but I will definitly try again! thanks for your help eythian
06:01 eythian It's time someone (probably me) wrote a nice howto for that...
06:01 eythian np
06:01 Amit_Gupta joined #koha
06:05 wizzyrea eythian - I just updated the faq's on the website
06:05 wizzyrea http://koha-community.org/documentation/faq/
06:06 wizzyrea specifically: http://koha-community.org/?qa_[…]items-whats-wrong
06:07 wizzyrea probably need to add in some infos about the packages too :)
06:08 wizzyrea oh a faq under "installing/upgrading" -- Should I use the packages or the tarball?
06:08 * wizzyrea puts it on the list
06:10 cait wizzyrea: why are you not sleeping?
06:10 eythian wizzyrea: I'd put both, the package only applies to people who've used them. To rebuild using the packages you do: sudo koha-rebuild-zebra -v --full `/usr/sbin/koha-list`
06:10 eythian where ` are backquotes.
06:11 eythian hang on, I misread
06:11 eythian well, I'd also put both for installing :)
06:12 eythian packages only work if you're on debian or ubuntu
06:14 Oak left #koha
06:14 wizzyrea right :)
06:14 wizzyrea do you agree: http://koha-community.org/faq/[…]all-install-koha/
06:15 eythian yep
06:15 eythian that sounds quite correct.
06:15 eythian Advanced users may also build their own packages :)
06:16 eythian (which is what we do, and I think magnus_away does also. Probably some others.)
06:17 wizzyrea right - i'm not sure that's the place for suggesting that?
06:17 wizzyrea maybe it is, maybe I"m being small minded.
06:17 eythian No, I expect not.
06:18 eythian http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]on_Debian_Squeeze <-- these are the canonical package instructions, and they note that you can do it there.
06:20 wizzyrea I think that's probably a fine place
06:20 wizzyrea to suggest that
06:20 wizzyrea oh what's the question we always get about apache
06:21 wizzyrea i've just installed koha but I only get the "it works!" page
06:21 wizzyrea or I get nothing
06:21 wizzyrea speaking of that
06:21 eythian really that means you haven't got virtual hosts set up right
06:24 eythian hey nice, someone I don't recognise has been adding docs about using the packages to the wiki. That's always a good sign.
06:24 Amit_Gupta left #koha
06:25 wizzyrea is it intentional or a typo that the koha site file contains 127.0.1.1 instead of 127.0.0.1 - sometihng to do with proper debian configuration?
06:25 jurgens left #koha
06:25 eythian it's correct, and there's a reason for it.
06:25 eythian I'm not 100% sure what that reason is.
06:25 wizzyrea ha, okies
06:26 Amit_Gupta joined #koha
06:26 eythian 127.0.0.0/8 is all localhost
06:27 wizzyrea right but... oh never mind. I accept on faith that it's intentional and there's a reason for it.
06:27 wizzyrea someday someone will explain it I'm sure.
06:27 eythian I think it prevents some things being confused when they see more than just 'localhost' on 127.0.0.1
06:27 wizzyrea oh that could be
06:27 eythian I've never noticed anything being confused, but I just take it on faith they may exist.
06:29 wizzyrea me either - but I can attest that it is occasionally unnerving to see the 1.1. instead of 0.1 - habit I suppose.
06:30 eythian yeah
06:30 eythian I found it strange too.

06:36 cait it is
06:36 cait :)
06:36 cait summers are especially nice even
06:37 eythian cait: you'll be happy to know I'm currently drafting up a scheming plan.
06:37 cait yay :)
06:38 eythian I don't currently have many schemes or plans, but I'm going to work on it over the next week or so and get some more detail in it.

09:31 Judit hi
09:33 Judit just a quicky: is the biblionumber and biblioitemnumber supposed to be the same number?
09:34 paul_p Judit yes, but they can differ if there has been a problem with 1 (or a few) biblios
09:34 paul_p I mean =
09:34 Judit hm
09:34 paul_p if there is a difference of 1 or 2, don't worry, it may mean a biblio had been improperly saved, for an unknown reason
09:35 paul_p ( and only this biblio has a problem )
09:35 Judit thanks
09:35 paul_p Judit in very old versions of Koha (1.x), when there was no MARC, it was possible to have 1 biblio and X biblioitems
09:35 paul_p but since 2.x, it should not happend
09:36 Judit so it is generaly a bad sign if they differ
09:57 hdl Judit: it may happen. and koha Should NOT be broken then.
09:58 Judit thnk

15:31 wizzyrea :)

15:43 wizzyrea yep
15:43 wizzyrea I have a special db that I use when I refresh my test DB
15:43 chris_n kf: running on live data is not recommended ;-)
15:43 kf meh
15:43 wizzyrea that has all of the stuff in it for tests
15:43 kf you know what I meant :)
15:43 kf wizzyrea: was that the one you had attached to the bug?
15:44 chris_n kf: it should pass over the sample data now
15:44 kf or simpler question - can I download it somewhere? :)
15:44 wizzyrea yes - and I actually have one with real bibs in it thanks to magnuse (I borrowed his bibs)
15:44 wizzyrea yes, you can
15:44 wizzyrea it may be on the bug, sec
15:44 wizzyrea but yea, they should pass on the sample data
15:44 wizzyrea well
15:44 wizzyrea no
15:44 wizzyrea that's not true
15:44 wizzyrea you have to have
15:44 wizzyrea and these are in the bug
15:44 wizzyrea let me just find it
15:44 kf i have to have?
15:45 * chris_n thinks that the db_dependent tests should always pass over the sample data
15:45 wizzyrea im just going to find the bug, I made notes
15:45 chris_n this allows for a common standard
15:45 wizzyrea they should, but the sample data doesn't, for example, come with a serial subscription
15:45 chris_n we should patch the sample data
15:45 wizzyrea because it comes with no bibs
15:45 wizzyrea chris_n: I think
15:45 wizzyrea what we really should do
15:45 wizzyrea is add a sub-section of sample data
15:45 * chris_n holds his breath
15:46 kf yep
15:46 wizzyrea "developer test data"
15:46 chris_n good idea
15:46 kf patrons and libraries would go in there too
15:46 paul_p wizzyrea it seems you haven't tested my sandbox system yet (I recieve a mail everytime someone request something)
15:46 chris_n or "data to run db_dep tests over"
15:46 chris_n but yes
15:46 chris_n very good idea
15:46 wizzyrea paul_p: I couldn't find the page to request the instance?
15:46 paul_p sample database++
15:46 chris_n and a "one-click" install option for it
15:46 kf paul_p: same here - no link on the wiki page :)
15:47 paul_p wizzyrea i've rewritten the wiki page, it should be more clear now
15:47 wizzyrea ohhhh
15:47 paul_p kf same thing ;-)
15:47 wizzyrea cool!
15:47 wizzyrea i will check it again :D
15:47 chris_n instead of having to click lots of tiny square check boxes
15:47 wizzyrea yes, that
15:47 kf I don't get a mail when someon changes the wiki page ;)
15:47 paul_p kf you don't have a RSS feed on it ?
15:47 wizzyrea paul_p: thanks for following up, i was looking for a project
15:47 kf paul_p: nope
15:48 kf I killed my feed reader some time ago...and found it frees up a lot of time
15:48 wizzyrea ok right, finding bug
15:48 * chris_n has plans to fixup his release-rolling script to refuse to roll a release if the test suite fails
15:49 chris_n ok, back to fixing a few backup issues
15:50 wizzyrea bug 7333
15:50 huginn` Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7333 trivial, PATCH-Sent (DO NOT USE), ---, wizzyrea, Pushed to Master , Cleaning up tests to use sample data
15:50 kf thx liz :)
15:50 wizzyrea now, however.
15:50 wizzyrea one caveat
15:50 wizzyrea I think that particular db has some strange settings in it
15:51 wizzyrea which don't matter for testing
15:51 wizzyrea but do matter for, say, functional testing
15:51 kf but I don't want to use it for testing?
15:51 kf I think I get what you mean :)
15:52 mbalmer what again is the (technical) reason that Koha does not use mod_perl?
15:52 wizzyrea I have one in my git repo, as well, that I'm trying to keep up to date with what I'm currently using (and current master)
15:52 kf I think something about circular dependencies
15:52 wizzyrea keyword - trying
15:52 paul_p mbalmer = no-one ever proved it worked well
15:52 wizzyrea but it has less stupid settings.
15:52 mbalmer paul_p, so that could be an experiment, too.
15:53 mbalmer are you aware of any problems with mod_perl?
15:53 paul_p mbalmer yep. And during the hackfest there will be a group working on Plack as well. Plack and mod_perl should have the same kind of problem
15:53 kf wizzyrea: git repo for sql dump... that is an interesting idea
15:53 mbalmer what is Plack?
15:53 wahanui somebody said Plack was working quite nice.
15:53 paul_p mbalmer we have Lyon 3 university running OPAC under plack. So it works
15:54 paul_p mbalmer http://plackperl.org/
15:56 mbalmer cool, never heard of that before.  that should give a nice performance boost (the librarians here claim that Koha is quite slow, but then we run on a slow machine atm)
15:56 hdl mbalmer: problems of memory consumption...
15:57 hdl mbalmer: and also because zebra is sometimes not responsive to requests because of ZOOM implementation...
16:02 mbalmer ok, thanks.

16:07 wizzyrea i'm going nuts without my jing on linux.
16:07 hdl wizzyrea: I like screencasting... but in that domain I am a believer, and not practitioner
16:07 kf I think mine is shatter
16:08 kf shutter?
16:08 kf I have it set up so it uploads to my ftp account
16:08 kf and gives me the url to paste
16:08 kf only does screenshots I think

16:22 paul_p FYI all = jenkins is unstable because of something wrong in the sample dataset. rangi sent me a mail saying he will fix the DB
16:23 paul_p bad news = pre-commit & git-am / git-bz are not friends...
16:23 paul_p so you can git bz a bug that doesn't compile, a pre-commit checking that won't complain :'((((
16:24 wizzyrea that seems right - a pre-commit would only catch something when you type "commit whatever.bla"

16:28 paul_p (mail to koha-devel on the way ;-) )
16:28 wizzyrea we should start a "git-fu" wiki page
16:28 wizzyrea to share varying types of workflows
16:29 paul_p git-fu ?
16:29 wizzyrea I'm a XXX - I do it this way:
16:29 wizzyrea where xxx is release manager, developer, tester
16:29 wizzyrea like kung fu
16:29 wizzyrea only with git
16:29 hdl mmm... this should be in developer's corner.
16:29 hdl Dev environment...
16:30 hdl where ppl could share vim templates.
16:30 wizzyrea ya
16:30 wizzyrea isn't that always the hardest part for new people though?
16:30 trea git -fu - tiger style! /whooosh
16:30 fredpierre what about a project management interface
16:30 fredpierre like project open or
16:30 wizzyrea @quote add trea: git-fu --tiger style /whooosh
16:30 huginn` wizzyrea: The operation succeeded.  Quote #186 added.
16:31 hdl wizzyrea: ?
16:31 wizzyrea fred - elaborate
16:31 wizzyrea hdl: it's a funny
16:32 magnus_away is now known as magnuse
16:32 wizzyrea i suspect it would be funnier to people who had an interest in chinese martial arts films.
16:32 slef errr that isn't what fu often means
16:32 slef as in fubar, snafu, ...
16:32 wizzyrea not this particular usage, no
16:33 slef I suspect the other sort is about as common with git ;-)
16:33 paul_p we have http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]Control_Using_Git, maybe a chapter about "git tip & tricks" ?
16:33 wizzyrea or "common workflows"
16:33 wizzyrea hehe slef, you're probably right
16:33 fredpierre i worked with project open for a while - the interface allows you to create teams for projects, with timelines and flowcharts
16:34 fredpierre another approach might be a mind-mapping interface
16:34 Guillaume left #koha
16:34 fredpierre then you get the flowcharts built in
16:34 paul_p that's not a workflow, that's a how to avoid doint commits that does not compile !
16:34 paul_p maybe a git_howto then ?
16:34 paul_p git_QA ?
16:35 paul_p will go for git_howto unless someone object
16:35 fredpierre i would benefit a lot from more git info - im reading pro git
16:35 paul_p or git_faq ...
16:35 fredpierre always worried a pull might destroy my development/production build
16:35 paul_p maybe git_faq is the best
16:36 wizzyrea fredpierre: did you see our lovely git info?
16:36 wizzyrea version control using git?
16:36 wahanui i guess version control using git is at http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]Control_Using_Git
16:36 wizzyrea git bz?
16:36 wahanui git bz is so much fun :) or http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]_bz_configuration
16:36 fredpierre thanks - I will look at that! :)
16:36 wizzyrea also fredpierre I was going to have a look at your mobile stuff today - or maybe tomorrow
16:36 trea fyi slef kungfu literally translates as "human achievement" so in this context it's entirely appropriate - the term itself doesn't imply a martial context.
16:37 trea just saying
16:37 fredpierre I did manage to post my repository of koha mobile to gitorious - http://gitorious.org/koha-mobile-web#more
16:37 fredpierre Hope I got it all up there
16:37 wizzyrea fredpierre: I'm sure it did :)
16:38 trea that's my non sequitur for the day. enjoy.
16:38 fredpierre trea++!
16:38 fredpierre what does Tai Chi mean?
16:39 oleonard slow motion dancing in the park.
16:39 trea The term t'ai chi ch'uan translates as "supreme ultimate fist", "boundless fist", "great extremes boxing", or simply "the ultimate".
16:39 trea thanks wikipedia
16:39 trea :P
16:40 fredpierre I have used FreeMind for project organization - don't know if it would apply here - it makes very cool flowcharts.
16:44 slef trea: yeah, now look up what snafu and fubar translate as... I prefer English acronyms over foreign language islands in English but maybe that's just how my brain works and no-one else will think it is a bad thing.
16:44 julian_m left #koha
16:44 trea i know what the terms mean slef
16:44 trea suffice to say they are at polar ends of the spectrum
16:44 slef trea: well, I know what kung fu means and that didn't stop you ;)
16:44 trea lol
16:44 trea point taken
16:47 slef and back to books http://failblog.files.wordpres[…]customers-win.jpg
16:54 slef Ooh this is a fun question. Can Koha checkout by partial barcode?
16:54 oleonard How would it do that?
16:54 slef I think that would be equivalent to going from "Search the catalogue" to checking out an item from that screen.
16:54 oleonard Load a list of matches and let you choose?
16:54 slef oleonard: that would be one way, yes
16:55 wizzyrea what situation are we trying to accommodate for/
16:55 wizzyrea "I remember it had a 1 at the end?"
16:55 wizzyrea "somewhere in the middle there was a 234"
16:55 slef I think part of their stock has shelfmark barcodes instead of callnumbers.
16:55 wizzyrea Ahhh
16:56 slef Joys of libraries originally set up by volunteers.
16:56 wizzyrea oic
16:57 trea is now known as trea-phone
16:57 slef I really can't see how to go from a search result to a checkout. Am I being dense?
16:58 slef I can place hold but not checkout.
16:58 oleonard You're right slef, there's not a way to do that
16:58 nengard left #koha
16:58 wizzyrea I don't think that there is a way to do that
16:59 * magnuse was looking for that the other day too
16:59 wizzyrea I definitely can see usefulness for that feature
17:00 slef so what would we prefer: a button alongside place hold, or on the item detail screen, or something else?
17:00 wizzyrea well it would have to be per item, right?
17:00 wizzyrea one thing that is cool, owen's search to hold thing already has the last borrower
17:01 wizzyrea already knows it
17:01 oleonard Right, you could try to lump those two functions together somehow
17:01 oleonard ..although "Search to hold or check out" is a little cumbersome :|
17:02 slef it depends if they want a particular item, or just any
17:02 slef similar to hold I think
17:02 slef the other way I was just looking was if I could check out the cart
17:02 slef but of course, the cart holds biblios not items
17:02 slef so that's probably a non-starter
17:03 wizzyrea could the cart be modified to hold items?
17:03 wizzyrea that kind of makes sense to me
17:03 wizzyrea at least on the staff side, not so much on the opac.
17:04 slef a checkout-now button on koha/reserve/request.pl might work
17:04 slef but then the button would need a label of "Hold/Checkout" which may also be cumbersome
17:05 fredpierre we do a partial barcode search - I think it is kohaextras
17:05 oleonard Whether it's the basket or the search to hold the problem is still that it's biblio-level
17:06 slef oleonard: I thought you could hold a particular item?
17:06 fredpierre otherwise you would have to copy the barcode over hmmm
17:06 slef kohaextras?
17:06 fredpierre you could hold it, but it won't come up in checkout if you don't scan it
17:06 oleonard what I mean is that if you wanted a link on the search results page that said "check out to this patron" like there is "hold for this patron" you'd have a problem
17:07 slef oic
17:07 fredpierre kohaextras are up on sourceforge as an addition to koha - you have to create links to the various functions
17:07 slef kohaextras?
17:07 wahanui kohaextras are up on sourceforge as an addition to koha - you have to create links to the various functions
17:07 slef :)
17:07 slef thank you fredpierre
17:08 slef ok sorry where on sourceforge?
17:08 fredpierre the specific kohaextra script we use is kohabib.php - does a biblio search
17:08 fredpierre by title, author, or isbn number
17:09 slef ah right... php won't integrate easily
17:09 fredpierre that's true - we actually run it on a separate server, but could run on the koha server
17:11 fredpierre there has to be a way to do this using our custom reports function, then add it in as a tool for circ
17:12 fredpierre http://sourceforge.net/projects/kohastowextras/
17:12 fredpierre It's the kohabib.php - could be translated to create a custom report?
17:13 collum The checkout functionality and partial barcodes sound like a library that came over from Horizon.
17:13 collum When you are at a bib in Horizon you can press F10
17:13 fredpierre oops sorry its actually the kohabarcode.php script that does it
17:13 collum for a list of options in which to send the barcode.
17:14 collum Checkout being one of them.
17:14 collum Partial barcodes are done with a barcode suffix.
17:15 collum All of our barcodes start with the same 5 numbers, have padded 0s, and then a unique identifier.
17:15 wizzyrea collum: I've been enjoying signing off on your patches :)
17:15 collum Thanks for signing them off. :-)
17:16 fredpierre $query = "select * from biblio, items
17:16 fredpierre where items.biblionumber = biblio.biblionumber and items.barcode LIKE '%".$barcode."%'
17:16 fredpierre order by items.location , items.itemcallnumber limit 0,100";
17:16 wizzyrea collum: love those test plans <3
17:16 wizzyrea makes it soooo easy
17:17 collum NP
17:19 slef collum: that might explain how they've got away without fixing the barcode workflow long enough for their collection to get so big.

18:39 magnuse slef: that's epic!
18:39 slef what would people think to a checkout button under where it says "Available" on the item table in catalogue/detail.pl ?
18:40 slef I think it needs some intense refactoring in circ/circulation.pl though.
18:42 cait what is the use case?
18:42 wahanui somebody said the use case was multiple callnumbers sequences (implemented in table) which should trigger increment on save to prevent gaps in ranges
18:42 cait not sure I understand
18:42 magnuse wahanui: forget the use case
18:42 wahanui magnuse: I forgot use case
18:43 slef cait: books without barcodes *sigh*

18:43 cait ah
18:43 cait well... no check then that you are really on the right page
18:43 cait and have the right item...
18:43 cait or have a book to checkout on the desk at all
18:44 slef they have the book in front of them
18:44 slef they claim not to care tracking copies between circulations (I know I know)
18:45 cait what's so bad about having barcodes?
18:46 slef they are where they are... many books, shelfmarks labelled on them but not barcoded
18:46 slef the other option is to provide it as a fallback search like in bug 1081

18:47 cait ah
18:47 cait fall back on th eshelf mark?
18:47 slef enteredBarcode% or shelfmark or title-stem

19:07 slef nengard: you ever seen a library wanting to checkout by shelfmark?
19:07 jcamins_away slef: I have.
19:07 jcamins_away slef: that's very common, actualy.
19:07 slef jcamins_away: so any reason it's not in koha yet?
19:07 slef or just lack of time?
19:08 jcamins_away slef: not enough toits. ;)
19:08 oleonard-away What is it with people and video tutorials? I would much rather read instructions.
19:08 jcamins_away I usually just push for putting the shelfmark in the barcode field, and assign new shelfmarks to duplicates.
19:09 jcamins_away Since the alternative is generally paying to have the feature developed, most libraries decide to do that.
19:10 nengard slef is the shelfmark the call number?
19:10 nengard if so - no
19:10 nengard I have had libraries ask to be able to do it by title though
19:11 jcamins_away slef: it's usually done by historic libraries.
19:12 slef this library asked for title as another fallback!
19:12 jcamins_away Okay, that seems a bit excessive.
19:12 jcamins_away (using both)
19:12 slef oh I think it was either/or
19:13 slef can we have this, if not can we have that
19:13 jcamins_away Got it.
19:13 jcamins_away That makes sense.
19:18 nengard the way it would have to work in Koha is that you can search by title on the checkout page and then maybe Koha lets you enter a barcode for that item before you check it out - cause barcode is required for checking out
19:19 jcamins_away slef: wait, didn't eythian do a patch for this?
19:19 jcamins_away I think he did recently.
19:21 slef jcamins_away: ooh any idea where?

19:47 fredpierre I know we can input to the reports generator using code like <<input | authority>> but could we input a barcode?
19:47 wizzyrea sure
19:47 wizzyrea <<Enter barcode>>
19:47 wizzyrea should do it

20:32 fredpierre Oh, now it is working.
20:32 * chris_n likes those sort of problems :)
20:32 fredpierre guess I had a typo or something...
20:34 fredpierre it's when I add the <<Enter partial barcode>> that i run into problems
20:35 fredpierre Of course I am putting it into the string comparison '%<<Enter partial barcode>>%' maybe that's the problem
20:35 jcamins_away Yes, you can't do that.
20:35 jcamins_away It needs to be <<Enter barcode like %90028110%>>
20:35 chris_n I'm having requests for the capability to track item usage notes
20:36 chris_n said notes should be entered on checkout
20:36 fredpierre thanks jcamins!
20:36 chris_n and searchable
20:36 jcamins_away chris_n: you can't use private notes?
20:37 chris_n lemme give a usage case and we'll see
20:37 chris_n this is to be used for the circulation of A/V materials by faculty with a view toward avoiding repeat showings/listenings in too close time proximity
20:38 chris_n so there needs to be a "history" of sorts of usage
20:38 chris_n but more than time/date stamps
20:38 jcamins_away Ah.
20:38 jcamins_away So, no, not at all what I was envisioning.
20:38 chris_n sort of an academic thing
20:38 * chris_n wonders if there would be any larger interest in such a feature
20:39 jcamins_away What about a report that shows items that have been checked out more than N times in a certain time period by a single person?
20:40 chris_n jcamins_away: that might work except person_a might have used the material for class_a, class_b, etc.
20:40 trea-away left #koha
20:40 jcamins_away chris_n: how would they know which class it was for at all?
20:40 chris_n that's the problem exactly
20:40 jcamins_away But, how do they know with the notes, either?
20:41 chris_n right now, its a... paper log... :-/
20:41 jcamins_away So they ask, and write it down?
20:41 oleonard Google Doc? :P
20:43 chris_n yes
20:43 chris_n sorry, phone
20:43 chris_n they write it down
20:43 rangi !jenkins build koha_master now
20:43 jenkins_koha rangi: job koha_master build scheduled now
20:43 chris_n I've suggested the google doc
20:44 jenkins_koha Starting build #612 for job Koha_master (previous build: STILL UNSTABLE -- last SUCCESS #605 2 j 22 h ago)
20:44 chris_n no-go
20:44 jwagner left #koha
20:44 chris_n so... I think I'll have to code up such a feature
20:45 chris_n we have a huge A/V library and they are wanting me to code up a crosswalk so that Koha can write mp3 tags and such
20:45 jcamins_away That's kind of cool.
20:45 * chris_n has been running from this for a looong time
20:45 jcamins_away Not sure what the use is, but it sounds cool.
20:45 chris_n but its about to catch me :)
20:46 chris_n jcamins_away: we catalog in-house recordings in Koha
20:46 jcamins_away chris_n: ah.
20:46 chris_n so generating mp3 tags from the data entered would be very handy and time reducing
20:47 Brooke interessante
20:47 chris_n single-point data entry
20:47 chris_n also having koha retrieve mp3 headers for new audio media publicly available would be nice as well
20:47 chris_n sorta like your mp3 player does
20:49 * chris_n is trying to keep from having to support a completely separate in-house application
20:49 Brooke just don't make it sort and search like my mp3 player ;)
20:49 chris_n hmm
20:49 chris_n imagine
20:49 oleonard Good idea, let's build OpenOffice into Koha so that we can write books as we catalog ;)
20:49 chris_n plug up your mp3 player to your local koha and "check out" a playlist
20:49 * Brooke won't be happy until everything is rolled into Koha
20:50 Brooke is now known as SevenofNine
20:50 cjh Koha OS ?
20:50 chris_n lol
20:50 * oleonard hands SevenofNine her official jumpsuit
20:50 SevenofNine is now known as Brooke
20:51 chris_n well, with a large audio library of, say, class lectures, using Koha to index and provide search capabilities makes a powerful resource
20:52 chris_n using key words, topics, etc
20:53 chris_n the mp3 tag "thingy" could simply be a separate app which slurps data from koha's db
20:53 chris_n but the ability to track specific usage is probably best done as a function of circulation
20:54 jcamins_away chris_n: have your media server use SIP to record circulations?
20:54 chris_n there's a thought
20:55 jcamins_away Actually...
20:55 jcamins_away That's kind of a good idea.
20:55 Brooke bah, back to the drawing board for me.
20:55 Brooke left #koha
20:55 chris_n I had suggested using RFID to handle circulation
20:56 jcamins_away chris_n: but you said they're digital recordings.
20:56 chris_n the vast majority are
20:56 jcamins_away chris_n: right, so RFID wouldn't work for that.
20:56 chris_n some are physical
20:56 chris_n ie CD/DVD/VHS/etc
20:57 jcamins_away Yeah, RFID for those makes sense.
