08:23 paulderscheid[m] Morning #koha
08:26 paulderscheid[m] Does anyone have an idea which low-level language has the best perl bindings?
08:26 paulderscheid[m] I already looked at OCaml but I don't like the functional style. Stuff for Go and Rust is still experimental, though.
08:29 paulderscheid[m] I know about XS, but it would be much better the other way around for my use-case.
08:30 cait pass :)
08:30 * magnuse too
08:32 paulderscheid[m] Might be a good question for the Kohacon :D
08:33 paulderscheid[m] Sorry, Perl and Koha Conference :)
08:33 magnuse yeah, sounds like a good idea :-)
08:33 ashimema 🙂
08:33 magnuse it's not possible for staff to trigger recalls from the staff client?
08:35 cait not yet
08:35 ashimema nope
08:35 cait antoher sign-off on bug 31391 might help
08:35 huginn Bug https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]_bug.cgi?id=31391 enhancement, P3, ---, aleisha, Signed Off , Staff-side recalls
08:35 cait it really bringt it more in line with what academic libraries woudl expect
08:35 ashimema recalls as it stands isn't what any of us thing of as recalls.. as far as I'm aware
08:36 cait you can then turn off the opac side recalls
08:36 cait ...introducing a system preference, RecallsInterface, to configure where recalls can be placed. Recalls can either be placed via the OPAC, or the staff interface, or both. This is set to OPAC by default to be consistent with current behaviour.
08:37 ashimema interesting
08:37 * marcelr hides for another recalls patch set
08:38 ashimema yup
08:38 ashimema don't blame you
08:38 paulderscheid[m] Don't now whether this is dumb but is there a way I can access plack's routing table (if there is one)?
08:39 ashimema I kinda agree with Joubu's final comment
08:39 ashimema just looking at the bug tree now to see if it's still the case
08:39 ashimema but if it is.. I wholeheartedly agree..
08:40 ashimema before adding enhancements on top of creaky foundations we should have all the bugs reported against the foundations fixed first.
08:43 magnuse thanks!
08:44 marcelr creaky = krakend
08:44 marcelr there is a dutch saying about creaky wagons
08:47 magnuse davidnind++
10:03 marcelr cya
10:06 cait more interest might create more fixes..
10:08 cait caroline: added youto bug 34170 - would be interested in your opnion and on how you handle credits in your libraries
10:09 huginn Bug https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]_bug.cgi?id=34170 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, NEW , Ability to add record/order line specific credits
10:09 cait and anyone else's ideas are also welcome of course :)

11:39 huginn Bug https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]_bug.cgi?id=31253 minor, P5 - low, ---, kyle, Failed QA , Item search in staff interface should call barcodedecode if the search index is a barcode
11:39 cait any chance you could have a look?
11:40 khall can do!
11:40 cait anyplace else it seems to work great from the reports I got
11:41 * ashimema had entirely forgotten that tree
11:46 magnuse cait++
11:55 tcohen hola #koha o/

12:02 MichaelaSieberBIB[m] <khall> "can do!" <- Thanks Kyle!
12:03 MichaelaSieberBIB[m] <cait> "anyplace else it seems to work..." <- we found one more exception : moving an item to another biblio (cataloguing/moveitem.pl?)
12:07 cait could you file a bug and link it to 26351?
12:09 tcohen hola cait
12:11 magnuse is there a SearchMyLibraryFirst for the staff interface? i thought there was, but can't find it...
12:27 cait hi tcohen :)
12:27 cait magnuse: cannot remember one
12:27 magnuse i probably remember wrong, then
12:28 kohaio[m] Hello there :)

12:30 kohaio[m] do someone know if the process_message_queue cronjob can be deactivated form the Koha back-end ? i have a difference between the preprod and production environment
12:30 cait hi kohaio[m]
12:30 kohaio[m] messages remain in pending status in production. i can manually trigger the process_message_queue but it's not running as a cronjob :/
12:31 cait have you activated email for the instance?
12:31 kohaio[m] yep, custom smtp, working fine while running manually the process_message_queue.pl
12:31 cait soem crons have the --email switch and are not run if the sending emails is deactivated
12:32 cait sudo koha-email-enable or -disable and I think there is a way to get a list too
12:32 kohaio[m] ah, checking this one :)
12:33 magnuse sudo koha-list --email
12:33 magnuse sudo koha-list --noemail
12:34 kohaio[m] thanks both, preprod is properly retrieving the library. checking prod :)
12:36 kohaio[m] indeed, the email is not activated in prod (x_x)
12:36 kohaio[m] you saved my day, thanks again :)
12:36 magnuse cait++
12:46 cait you are welcome kohaio[m] :)

16:04 caroline for bug 34076, is there a step to do before step 0? I feel like I should have a git on my computer or something before adding a remote? But I don't know enough to know :(
16:04 huginn Bug https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]_bug.cgi?id=34076 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, jonathan.druart+koha, In Discussion , [ALTERNATE] [DOCS] Automated screenshots using Cypress.io testing framework
16:04 caroline or is it in the normal koha repo?
16:05 cait hm let me take a look, but you shouldmaybe ask Joubu that
16:06 caroline yeah, but he said he's on vacation... I wanted to test before he came back so i'd have intelligent questions to ask... it seems I'm at the stupid questions stage rn lol
16:06 cait he writes he has added a branch, but not how to add it to ktd?
16:06 cait https://gitlab.com/joubu/Koha/[…]ts/cypress-studio
16:07 cait hm i think it's written with ktd in mind
16:07 cait an you are not using ktd, right?
16:07 caroline no
16:07 cait I think the instructions won't work without it
16:08 caroline davidnind said it was possible to not use ktd yesterday, but that might have been only for bug 29716
16:08 huginn Bug https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]_bug.cgi?id=29716 enhancement, P4, ---, david, ASSIGNED , [DOCS] Automated screenshots using Cypress.io testing framework
16:08 cait maybe
16:08 cait I am not sur if it could be used without
16:09 cait is there a reason you cannot use ktd?
16:09 cait (it took me a long while to switch, but I really quite like it now)
16:09 caroline it's not that i cannot, I just don't have it and never learned it
16:09 caroline I'm also not familiar with docker, my only experience having gone really bad...
16:10 caroline It's also an obstacle for new docs writers if we absolutely need ktd to write docs
16:13 cait in my experience you don't really need to understand any docker stuff
16:13 cait at least I don't :)
16:14 caroline ok that's a relief at least
16:14 cait I think I use like 5 commands to do it all
16:15 cait maybe we could try to have a session at the conf :)
16:16 caroline that would be nice
16:16 cait I know people have managed on windows also

18:12 MichalKohaCZ[m] Hi Koha
18:21 cait hi MichalKohaCZ[m]
18:24 MichalKohaCZ[m] Is here some Koha Testing Docker guru? I need help with open ports for ssh and db.
18:29 cait I am just a user
18:30 cait what are you trying to do if I may ask?
18:30 MichalKohaCZ[m] We need it for some devel purposes
18:35 cait you might want to try asking at another time - it's weekend basically almost everywhere
18:35 cait most people are around during their work hours (from different timezones)

19:09 h2h2 waves (newbie here, mostly lurking & reading, trying to figure out how this works)
19:10 oleonard h2h2: What brings you to Koha?
19:11 h2h2 We've used Koha for years--I'm Heather in San Francisco! (I *thought* my id here was "h2," but it said someone else had that id)
19:24 caroline hi h2h2! How are you doing?
19:25 h2h2 Well, thank you!  How are you, caroline?
19:25 caroline good! We have a long weekend coming up, so that's nice
19:27 h2h2 Yea!  We do, too!  (One reason I dropped in to try IRC now--not so many people here while I try to figure it out!)
19:28 caroline h2h2, no worries, as you know everyone is really nice around here
19:28 h2h2 Oh, yes--everyone is always so nice! But it took a while to find where to type!:):)
19:29 caroline lol! that's IRC for you, welcome to the 1990's!
19:30 h2h2 Hahahaha! Yes! But email is "welcome to the 1970s" so this is more modern!:)
19:32 h2h2 I figured out today how to search the logs of this channel--so handy!
19:35 dpk joined #koha
20:01 * cait waves at h2h2 :)
20:01 cait almost missed you
20:02 cait your bug looks alright to me
20:02 h2h2 waves at @cait
20:02 h2h2 YEA!!!  Thank you!  It's only the second bug I ever typed into bugzilla--so exciting!!!
20:07 cait hm I just spotted bug 29825
20:07 huginn Bug https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]_bug.cgi?id=29825 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, gveranis, Needs Signoff , Preview of authority record on edit mode as MARC formatted view
20:08 oleonard cait: I was looking to see if Bug 34180 had been reported and I found that instead
20:08 cait oleonard just worked on it - is that similar to bug 34179 maybe?
20:08 huginn Bug https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]_bug.cgi?id=34180 normal, P5 - low, ---, oleonard, ASSIGNED , Template variable in JavaScript prevents authority MARC preview from displaying
20:08 huginn Bug https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]_bug.cgi?id=34179 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, NEW , Make authority MARC preview look like bibliographic MARC preview
20:08 cait ah
20:08 cait so we overlapped!
20:09 cait do you thik it will fix Heather#s issue
20:09 cait ?
20:09 oleonard All different issues.
20:09 cait ok
20:09 oleonard Bug 29825 adds the ability to preview the MARC record which will be created while you're adding/editing a record
20:10 h2h2 That's what I thought--29825 is about editing. My bug is not editing.
20:10 h2h2 (But I have no understanding of the Underlying Code Magic!)
20:13 h2h2 Bye, bye, everyone! I'll come back--this place is great!!!
20:13 oleonard Bye h2h2!
20:14 cait :)
20:16 oleonard I don't think we use XSLT for authority record display anywhere do we?
20:16 cait not yet
20:16 caroline Don't we? I thought it changed recently
20:16 cait you can now add an XSLT file but we don't ship a default one
20:17 caroline the display definitely changed in 22.05 or 21.11 because we had complaints about it
20:17 caroline some fields did not display anymore
20:18 oleonard The "plain" MARC preview uses and XSLT view which we don't have for authorities
20:18 oleonard ...uses *an* XSLT view...
20:18 cait aah
20:18 cait I didn't know that, interesting
20:18 cait could we maybe reuse it?
20:19 oleonard That's a good question... it is very generic, possibly reusable
20:30 oleonard See ya o/
20:35 caroline yay thanks!
20:38 caroline and a proposal! https://wiki.koha-community.or[…]haCon24_Proposals
20:38 cait yes!!!
20:49 davidnind caroline++
20:51 bag excellent :)
20:51 caroline bag, I might rope you in to help, I distinctly remember you offering lol!
20:52 bag cool I’ll defintiely help :)
20:52 bag I have some of the experience from Portland of what went well and things that I would refine
20:52 caroline that would really help
20:53 cait caroline++ inlibro++ and bag++ :)
20:53 bag Montreal is an awesome city - that will do most of the work for you - it will shine nice and bright :)
20:53 bag I meant to ask - how’s the smoke for y’all?
20:54 caroline bag today is a bit smoky, but last weekend it was worse, it was like sitting at a campfire with the wind in your face
20:54 bag oof
20:55 caroline and we are hundreds of kilometers from the fires... I cannot imagine what it is like for the communities near
21:02 caroline have a nice weekend!
21:02 cait you too :)
