07:14 marcelr @later tell cait 30352 is yours
07:14 huginn marcelr: The operation succeeded.
07:16 cait giving trainign this and next week - I'll try to do QA as soon as I can
07:28 marcelr a signoff would be nice too
07:30 magnuse__ anyone know what "Bankable" means, in the context of the point of sale/cash register thingies? ashimema?
07:33 ashimema cash that can be taken out of the register and taken to the bank
07:34 ashimema so it's real money as apposed to credit card payments and it excludes the float that's assigned to the register
07:34 ashimema school run time, brb
07:38 magnuse__ ok, thanks!
08:52 Joubu I have submitted patches on bug 33568 to replace the items table on the biblio detail page with to make it use the REST API
08:52 huginn Bug https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]_bug.cgi?id=33568 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, jonathan.druart+koha, In Discussion , Use the REST API to display items on the biblio detail view
08:53 Joubu catalogue/detail.[pl,tt] are modified significantly, so please it in mind for new submissions
08:53 Joubu help and feedback welcome!
08:56 ashimema nice!
08:56 ashimema I need to focus on some features and enhancements I'm still keen to get into 23.05 I'm afraid.. i've been far too distracted the last months.
09:00 marcelr ashimema: i am digging a bit into refactor db translations; what are your plans there ?
09:03 ashimema I have none for the moment
09:03 ashimema I'll happily lend a hand if asked..
09:03 ashimema but at this time I'm behind and can't really remember all the details
09:04 * ashimema needs to get bookings all working again.. so much changed in master that a lot of it is plain broken and we have multiple customers and partners crying out for it
09:04 marcelr ok
09:05 marcelr there was a lot of changed ideas during the way on that report..
09:05 marcelr 24975
09:05 ashimema yeah
09:05 ashimema we kept refining it
09:05 ashimema I lost the plot by the end ☹️
09:06 ashimema jajm and joubu did most of the heavy lifting
09:07 marcelr yeah and it feels too heavy to me somehow
09:08 marcelr but maybe i didnt get the whole picture yet
09:09 Joubu how too heavy?
09:12 marcelr too many changes
09:12 marcelr actually we only did this for itemtypes, and we started programming before we got all ideas what we wanted
09:12 ashimema it's because we were trying to simplify it and make it as flexible as possible I believe
09:13 liliputech joined #koha
09:13 liliputech hi koha
09:13 marcelr o/
09:18 Joubu marcelr: I don't understand the problem you are trying to raise
09:18 Joubu we started with somethign simple, itemtypes
09:18 Joubu then AVs is a bit more complex, so I extended what existed
09:18 Joubu but discussions appeared, and alternative approaches
09:20 marcelr the problem is: we got stuck, and I would like to see it move again
09:21 marcelr so maybe a simpler approach could help?
09:21 ashimema my memory is that we kept trying to simplify it and that was the challenge.. simplifying lead to complication 😜
09:21 ashimema but my memory is vague
09:22 Joubu marcelr: ok then submit a third version :D
09:23 marcelr thats always the end of the game :)
09:23 Joubu maybe you have not spent enough time on it yet
09:24 Joubu and that's why you think it can be simplified
09:24 marcelr sure
09:24 Joubu 24975 is already the simple version
09:25 ashimema I was there.. I spent a long time trying to see a simpler way and discussing it with Joubu and jajm.. we simplified it between us as far as we could then got stuck at the last hurdle from memory.. the key construction?  that was the last part of the debate to resolve wasn't it?
09:25 ashimema it's been ages.. i really can't remember enough ☹️
09:25 Joubu it's a naive approach, not in the sense that it is bad. It would work, but IMO there are edge cases, see the comment I pointed you to yesterday
09:28 marcelr where is that comment?
09:28 Joubu at this point I guess the sync between us (on it at the time) is the key, because I guess the rebase won't be trivial and it will be again a lot energy to put there
09:28 ashimema agreed
09:29 ashimema that's why I said we need to get at least the three of us in a room and lock the door until we come out with a solution 😜
09:29 Joubu same I gave you yesterday - https://bugs.koha-community.or[…].cgi?id=24975#c16
09:29 huginn Bug 24975: enhancement, P5 - low, ---, julian.maurice, Patch doesn't apply , Refactor database translations
09:29 ashimema it was on my hackfest list.. but there was already a lot on that list 😜
09:32 marcelr yeah i understand that is an example of the whole discussion about going via key or description
09:32 marcelr Books or BK2
09:42 Joubu marcelr, ashimema: do you have a rebased version, or the patches on the bug are the most recent ones?
09:43 marcelr it seems there is no
09:45 ashimema I tihnk the bug is probably the most recent work
09:46 ashimema On branch bug_24975... (full message at <https://matrix.org/_matrix/med[…]IUrBmwncLWFKIXtuA>)
09:46 ashimema that's the branch I have
09:47 Joubu ok, I will try to rebase it
09:47 ashimema do you have a branch to rebase on.. or are you trying to apply the patches and fix on apply?
09:47 ashimema I can push that branch if it helps.. it's probably cloned on gitlab/github already
09:48 Joubu I will be using your branch
09:48 Joubu there is a "lost" patch on the bug, the first one "fix bug"
09:50 ashimema https://github.com/PTFS-Europe[…]ha/tree/bug_24975
09:51 ashimema our master on github is behind btw.. that's why the numbers are different.. my local tracks upstream properly and I read those numbers from the local
09:53 Joubu ok, on it
09:59 marcelr brb
09:59 Joubu I wish I would not need to spend time to rebase stuffs I already spent a lot of time 4 years ago... :D
10:46 ashimema marcelr
10:46 ashimema I've lost track a bit on DB consistency
11:32 marcelr joined #koha
11:32 marcelr o/
11:33 ashimema the final bug on 31028.. is it actually needed
11:33 ashimema you seem to have added a catch for such statements in another bug
11:33 ashimema which has been pushed since
11:33 ashimema I think it's still a good cleanup
11:51 ashimema Joubu still around?
11:54 Joubu yes
12:46 anpu26[m] joined #koha
12:47 anpu26[m] Hello
12:48 anpu26[m] I have a question, what about the new RDA Marc field(336,337,338) Koha automatically add those or I need to edit the cataloging frameworks and add those fields and subfields?
12:49 marcelr Joubu: will have a try on 24975; hope that I like what I see :)

13:05 marcelr Joubu: main form does not load; 500 errror with DataTables
13:07 Joubu main form?
13:08 marcelr admin/localization
13:08 Joubu works for me
13:09 Joubu what error do you get?
13:10 marcelr cache problem
13:11 marcelr resolved
13:12 Joubu marcelr: regarding the last patch - I think we should clean all the item types code, in pl and tt. The mix between db_t calls and ItemTypes.t() TT plugin is confusing
13:13 Joubu I haven't finished, I think I am introducing perf regression. We should do that better. The Koha::ItemTypes set could be unblessed (with the translation_key in it) and cache in the TT plugin
13:14 Joubu then we always send the code to the template (or the translation_key?)
13:14 marcelr yes, how to cache is an interesting topic
13:15 Joubu the strings are cached in L1, in the I18N module
13:15 Joubu but here I am talking about caching the Itemtype objects
13:15 marcelr yes thats interesting
13:15 Joubu image_url could then be cached as well
13:16 Joubu could even be in L2 actually, it's easy to clear
13:17 Joubu to preserve my mental health I need to stay away of this topic for today, I may have a look at that again tomorrow
13:18 Joubu let me know if you catch 500s!
13:25 marcelr ok
13:32 magnuse did someone say pootle was updated with new files? or did i dream it? cait?
13:32 ashimema cait did
13:32 ashimema but not for 22.11
13:32 magnuse ah, ok
13:33 ashimema not sure why though
13:33 caroline I received an email yesterday though
13:33 caroline from Jacob
13:33 ashimema yeah.. we announced last night
13:33 ashimema I have no idea what actually triggers bernardo to build them
13:33 caroline not sure either
13:35 caroline this maybe? https://wiki.koha-community.or[…]s_for_the_release
13:36 magnuse the announcement was string freeze, not new files on pootle?
13:36 ashimema correct
13:36 caroline It's usually the same though no?
13:36 ashimema nope
13:37 ashimema that url is when we grab the translated po files and merge them
13:37 ashimema not when pootle grabs the latest strings
13:37 caroline oh ok
13:37 ashimema as for announce.. I've never totally tied it all together
13:37 ashimema we announce when we're ready.. as if by magic the strings get updated some time
13:38 caroline cait and I have had trouble getting in touch with bernardo for the 22.11 manual too
13:38 magnuse ah magic, that explains it ;-)
13:38 caroline lol!
13:38 ashimema I've been trying to wrap my head around i for literally years..
13:38 ashimema there are so many issues with our translations workflow that need fixing
13:41 magnuse i think string freeze means no more patches that affect strings are accepted? then po files should be updated from the code and pootle should be updated, so there is time for translating before the release? but not sure how things *actually* work...
13:42 magnuse but now i have some moules to frit :-)
13:45 ashimema exactly magnuse
13:45 ashimema that how it all should work
13:49 tcohen hi all
13:49 marcelr o/
13:49 tcohen hola marcelr
13:49 tcohen mtj: have you tried koha-dpkg-docker? we are having an issue with 22.11 builds
13:50 tcohen the command is: docker run --volume=/home/tcohen/git/koha:/koha --volume=/home/tcohen/tmp/debs:/debs --volume /proc:/proc --privileged --env VERSION="22.11.04" --env RELEASE="22.11" koha/koha-dpkg:master
14:10 cait sorry, not really here today, if it was something important please repeat :)
14:44 kohaio[m] joined #koha
14:44 kohaio[m] Hello there !
14:45 cait hi kohaio
14:47 kohaio[m] We're currently migrating our OPAC solution to KOHA, and i'm a bit stuck with the API usage. Is someone familiar with the koha api endpoints?
14:47 cait if you ask a more specific question someone might jump in
14:47 cait (not me probably... but maybe)
14:48 kohaio[m] :)
14:49 kohaio[m] I'm trying to use the items api endpoint so that we can search in the KOHA library from another solution, but the expected params are pretty unclear to me
14:49 kohaio[m] especially the q (query) one, not sure about the format expected
14:50 cait tcohen: paulderscheid[m] kidclamp maybe?
14:51 paulderscheid[m] The query param is pretty well explained here
14:51 paulderscheid[m] https://api.koha-community.org/ kohaio
14:51 cait there is al little bit here, but no example I think; https://api.koha-community.org[…]ltering-responses
14:51 cait ah sorry, there is one :)
14:51 paulderscheid[m] What exactly are you trying to achieve kohaio ?
14:52 kohaio[m] i have tried, based on the documentation but it keep returning some "malformated query string"
14:52 kidclamp https://wiki.koha-community.or[…]T_API_Users_Guide
14:52 paulderscheid[m] What's your query?
14:52 kohaio[m] not sure how to build properly the array format expected :D
14:52 paulderscheid[m] Can you give us an example you tried?
14:53 kohaio[m] sure, for example this one : /api/v1/items?q[field]=title&q[value]=​xxx&q[type]=contains&_per_page=10&_ord​er_by=relevance&fields=id,title,author
14:53 cait it#s not working like the OPAC
14:53 kohaio[m] also tried with q[0][field]=title
14:54 paulderscheid[m] You have to restructure that like a JSON object.
14:54 cait i mean the relevenace sorting
14:55 kohaio[m] also tried using body json format, but still stuck, do you have a simple example of expected json structure?
14:55 paulderscheid[m] No, in the query itself
14:55 * paulderscheid[m] sent a code block: https://matrix.org/_matrix/med[…]rSbVAwuiBKhCtbZfX

14:58 paulderscheid[m] Although I think the "type":"contains" doesn't belong in there
15:00 bag joined #koha
15:00 kohaio[m] Thanks Paul for your proposals, i have tried the two solutions from the URL parameters and using raw json but it gives me an error, but that should be something like that :)
15:01 paulderscheid[m] Yeah, sorry I just blindly converted it
15:05 paulderscheid[m] Here's a super simple example for an OR query... (full message at <https://matrix.org/_matrix/med[…]kFzBbpANNwgwidvHf>)
15:05 paulderscheid[m] I have to relearn this every time I use it ^^
15:08 paulderscheid[m] And of course you can also use that in the request body
15:09 kohaio[m] Thanks for your clear example :) I'll try in the body to see i can go with more complicated ones :)
15:09 paulderscheid[m] Always happy to help.
15:10 paulderscheid[m] and spread fake news sometimes :D
15:10 kohaio[m] :D

15:19 tcohen paulderscheid[m]: did you make any progress with the q_ccl bug?
15:19 tcohen that would make the endpoint more useful
15:20 paulderscheid[m] I had no time to work on it so caroline  and her devs took over
15:20 caroline tcohen, hammat tried but I think he had questions

15:24 tcohen Joubu: do you know why Selenium auth is fragile?
15:24 tcohen what breaks it
15:42 cait tcohen: and I put it in the QA email this week that Hammat had questions...
15:43 cait just noone has replied to his questions yet I think?
15:47 tcohen cait: see? I asked about selenium and got no answer either
15:48 cait true true..
15:48 cait but I don't know the answer

16:35 Nathan Hi. We're planning on setting up Koha on cloud based server. What cloud based server provider is recommendable?

18:50 AlanUTNMDP joined #koha
18:50 caroline cait, it's not urgent... I was just wondering how you handled translations when stuff is added in database updates
18:51 caroline The installation file is translated, but if something is put directly in the DB, it doesn't go through the installation file
18:56 cait what we do is run an sQL script with updates
18:57 cait so I translate these and then we run our own SQL statements after Koha is done with the update
18:57 cait not integrated into the web installer just as an additional step to our upgrade process
18:58 cait at least for the one s that will appear as changes directly after update - for features libraries need to activate separately we can still fix later
19:01 caroline ok thanks... I'm going through all the dv_revs right now to find all the letters, authorized values, etc. and adding them to a separate sql file
19:01 caroline it's the first time I do this, we usually catch them afterwards when clients complain
19:34 lukeg joined #koha
20:12 cait caroline: I like to avoid the compaints when I can :)
20:18 caroline definitely a better course of action :)
