09:12 aw-bib[m] hello! I am currently leanring koha procedures by working on the bug 29930. now to test the patch, however, I need to adopt the koha-conf.xml within ktd to know my ldap config. what is a clean / the supposed way to do so?

09:13 aw-bib[m] just editing the file and restart_all?
09:16 cait i think that shoudl work
09:16 cait you could also restart apache to be sure
09:16 cait hm thinking about another file... restart_all is ok i I think (was at httpd.conf)
09:17 aw-bib[m] that's part of the restart_all I was just wondering if there is some canoncial way to keep the config around for the next issue.
09:25 cait hm what do you mean by next issue?
09:30 aw-bib[m] well if there is something following up. eg. the above handles the patron barcodes to be reassigned during login. I have a similar thing with patron categories that I can't derive simply from ldap. iow I'd most likely need something like "and overwrite setting X if and only if it is not set". and again I'll need my ldap config to test this.
10:03 cait aw-bib[m]: sorry, got distracted - but maybe not a questionf or me. I'd probably just copy and back it up somewhere
10:03 aw-bib[m] fine with me :)
10:04 cait aw-bib[m]: are you attending KohaCon next week? maybe online?
10:06 aw-bib[m] I'll not be able to travel but if there is an online option I'll try what's possible
10:07 cait it's hybrid and I believe online regsitration is still open
10:07 cait I am not sure how the streaming will be organized
10:07 cait oh today at midnight: https://perlkohacon.fi/Registration.html
10:08 cait it's free
10:08 aw-bib[m] I'll check asap.
10:14 aw-bib[m] done.

10:21 aw-bib[m] cait: thanks for the pointer :)
10:42 cait You are welcome
10:57 PedroAmorim[m] am I right in saying that if "Automatic-renewal" is "Yes" in the circulation rules, then the option for a manual renewal does not exist through the OPAC
10:58 PedroAmorim[m] if so, is this intended? Shouldn't automatic renewal be its own thing, and the option to manually renew remain?
10:58 khall_ joined #koha
10:59 PedroAmorim[m] to test, set "Automatic renewal" to "No" and checkout an item, check your check-outs lists in OPAC, notice the 'renew' checkbox is there
10:59 PedroAmorim[m] now, set "Automatic renewal" to "Yes", and checkout a 2nd item, check your check-outs list in OPAC, notice the 'renew' checkbox is not there
10:59 PedroAmorim[m] is this intended
11:25 PedroAmorim[m] circulation rules, is "No renewal before" actually "No automatic renewal before"? cait I need you here! =D
11:44 khall joined #koha
12:17 cait PedroAmorim[m]: i believe maybe both
12:17 cait it predates auto-reneal
12:17 cait the initial idea was that you dont want users to renew their items immediately after checkout
12:17 cait but after they had them for a while, to give others a chance to place holds
12:18 PedroAmorim[m] right
12:18 PedroAmorim[m] it's both
12:18 PedroAmorim[m] but it's ignored by manual renew if "Automatic renewal"  is set to "Yes"
12:18 PedroAmorim[m] the way this is designed is very confusing
12:18 cait if auto-renewal is set to yes, you can't manually renew
12:18 cait at lesat that's what I thought
12:19 PedroAmorim[m] I think I fully understand the issue for now
12:19 PedroAmorim[m] yes, correct
12:19 PedroAmorim[m] will nag u more for this in the short-term!
12:20 cait I'll try, but leaving now for a retirement party and only here for half a day tomorrow
12:20 PedroAmorim[m] enjoy!

15:12 aw-bib[m] maybe a trivial question. I went through all steps to sign off a patch (including the necessary tess ;) and end up at git bz attach -e 29930 HEAD. but of course it needs some credentials for bugzilla. how would I provide those? (IOW issuing above command in ktd --shell I get a Failed to attach patch to bug 29930, status=200 at the end of a web-page (html to the console)).

19:43 wahanui bonjour, noor_
19:44 noor_ i want to create two new fields in KOHA patrons to take input, how can i create them from staff client?
19:48 noor_ I am using Koha 20.05. I am importing data of newly enrolled students, I want to import Additional attributes and identifiers as well. The csv file KOHA provides does not have additional attributes field. How can I import data along with these fields

20:32 Sqdy Hi.. I'm trying to import a .mrc file into koha but it's failing.. However, where to check the verbose log to see what happened?
20:33 Sqdy Processing bibliographic records
20:33 Sqdy 1 records in file
20:33 Sqdy 1 records not staged because of MARC error

22:40 jalway Sqdy, you could try loading the record via MARCEdit or some other 3rd party app that can read marc files. https://marcedit.reeset.net/
22:42 jalway You could also try using something like the pymarc python library to read the file. That would likely be a bit of a long trek to get where you need, though.
