08:00 Zahid[m] Hi, i have a problem with sending email notifications regarding patrons
08:00 Zahid[m] on notice page for patron it says "Unhandled email failure, check the logs for further details"
08:00 Zahid[m] in which log file should i look
08:02 Zahid[m] i have configured smtp server and enable the notifications for patrons and patron category and on specfic patron
08:02 Zahid[m] i have not enable koha-plack on the server
08:03 Joubu watch the Koha logs with: tail -f /var/log/koha/*/*.log
08:03 Joubu you should enable koha-plack, there is no reason not to
08:04 Zahid[m] i have created new machine for koha in some other workplace. should this command gives me the the error ?
08:12 cait joined #koha
08:17 Joubu run the tail -f command in a shell, then try to send an email to a patron
08:18 Joubu the error should be logged in one of the Koha file and displayed in the shell
08:36 Joubu mtj, tuxayo: please, no more changes to jenkins config or job's config without Tomas or me agreed on it first. No more new jobs either.

13:41 aude_c[m] Oh in this case it's partly on purpose! 😄
13:41 aude_c[m] And we're not wholly unprepared... We just chose not to have a structure.

14:13 huginn` Bug 34955: enhancement, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, NEW , One Koha manual (to rule them all)
14:15 marie-luce #info At the moment, Aude suggested to use a new URL for the manual like this one https://koha-community.org/manual/main/en/html/
14:16 Joubu we don't need 'main' ;)
14:17 marie-luce #info There are some concerns about a new URL, since all documention are currently pointing to the URL mentioning "latest" https://koha-community.org/man[…]n/html/index.html
14:18 marie-luce please join us at https://meet.jit.si/KohaDocumentationMeeting
14:18 ashimema we happy just using '/latest' or just skipping version entirely in the url Joubu?
14:18 ashimema I'm happy to do this bit.. just been volunteered 😉
14:18 Joubu If we don't keep older versions, we just need https://koha-community.org/manual/:lang/:format
14:18 Joubu eg. https://koha-community.org/manual/en/html/
14:19 ashimema makes sense to me
14:19 Joubu ha!
14:19 marie-luce #action Martin will discuss with Jonathan about the URL link
14:19 Joubu the old versions of Koha will point to the existing URLs
14:20 Joubu yes, let discuss that later ;)
14:20 ashimema yup.. unless we backport the change
14:20 Joubu we can still redirect
14:20 marie-luce #topic What's new page: what do we want?
14:20 ashimema but I kinda like the idea of the older version specific ones slowly dissapearing rather than just going going gone

15:20 oleonard_ Seeking opinions: https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]g.cgi?id=35145#c3
15:20 huginn` Bug 35145: enhancement, P5 - low, ---, emily-rose.francoeur, Needs Signoff , Add ability to order patron attributes
15:20 oleonard_ Comment 3
15:22 caroline I think that usually in Koha, things without a display order would be considered "0", so in first place (e.g. news, numbering patterns, etc)
15:24 oleonard I can see a librarian thinking, "I set this to 1, why isn't it in first place?" but I guess news has the same issue.
15:24 caroline yes, it's a bit annoying, as with january being 0 in numbering patterns
15:24 caroline (I,m neck deep in serials, does it show? :) )
15:25 oleonard :D
15:26 aude_c[m] I think if it matches how the order / ranking works in other parts of Koha, it won't be a problem (and I quickly learnt that '0' gets to the top! 😅)
15:26 Joubu I feel sleepy, but it feels too open
15:26 Joubu why not make the table sortable?
15:26 Joubu also a thing to take into account: attributes can be hidden to some libraries
15:27 oleonard Joubu: It's more about expectations for how it will be ordered when displayed to the user
15:27 oleonard Joubu: Making the table sortable will be a nice improvement but not required for the initial bug I think
15:27 aude_c[m] Why not make the fields available on the registration form drag and drop into the form in the order one wants? :P
15:28 aude_c[m] (Ok, I will leave now...)
15:28 caroline lol!
15:28 Joubu how ordered? from 1..N?
15:28 oleonard aude_c[m]: "This attribute of my self is the most important, it should go first!"
15:29 aude_c[m] Hehe
15:29 Joubu order by number asc (with number default to 0), and another order (the existing one)
15:29 Joubu so if 0 == 0 it does not move up and down depending on how rows get fetched
15:30 aude_c[m] that makes sense. Gives the option to change from how it currently works - or not
15:31 oleonard In the display, an empty value is first in the order, then 0, 1, ...
15:32 oleonard That does match news
15:32 Joubu we should force it to be a number
15:32 Joubu and rename "number"...
15:33 oleonard Joubu: We don't want to force the user to enter a value
15:33 Joubu then default to 0 when it's empty :)
15:33 oleonard I think that makes sense
15:35 oleonard ...but if we want to be consistent we should leave it as it is, since it matches news
15:35 oleonard Or change both
15:36 caroline serial numbering patterns also default to empty

16:45 caroline Do y'all know what this "results loaded" line is? It only appears on one client opac (that we've found) https://snipboard.io/mHrQPn.jpg
16:46 caroline the others don't have it https://snipboard.io/DB3gEk.jpg
16:47 oleonard caroline: My guess is that it only appears when the number of results exceeds a certain number
16:48 caroline I thought so too, I have over 100,000 results on each though
16:49 oleonard I'm guessing the limit is higher, but the system caps the results at 100,000 in that case
16:49 dpk joined #koha
16:49 oleonard (which if true, is a little confusing)
16:50 caroline the number is 10,000
16:51 oleonard ?
16:51 caroline it caps at 10,000 not 100,000
16:51 caroline unless that's not what you meant?
16:52 oleonard Oh you're right I misread
16:52 oleonard That makes even less sense.
16:53 caroline indeed
16:54 caroline on yours, I search "a" and get 417343 results without that weird 10,000 results line https://search.myacpl.org/cgi-[…]pac-search.pl?q=a
17:45 oleonard I hope I'm not confused about how this feature works: Bug 35437
17:45 huginn` Bug https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]_bug.cgi?id=35437 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, NEW , With CanMarkHoldsToPullAsLost, only cancel holds when no other items are available

18:39 Squidy Hi.. When patrons try to reserve an item on OPAC, they receive the message: "This title cannot be requested".
18:40 Squidy I really don't know what is happening..
18:40 Squidy Can you help me/
18:40 Squidy ?
18:40 oleonard Squidy: Do you have a "Holds allowed" value set in your circulation rules?
18:42 oleonard Squidy: https://snipboard.io/hwbkW8.jpg
18:45 mtj hi Joubu, about now
18:47 Squidy oleonard: Yes, I do... Take a look https://snipboard.io/Wi5YM4.jpg
18:48 oleonard Does your rule apply to all item types and all patron categories?
18:48 oleonard And do your patrons and items all have valid categories/item types?
18:52 Squidy oleonard: Yes.. Patron category = All ......... Item type = All
18:56 Squidy oleonard: What's strange is the message in OPAC: This title cannot be requested.
18:56 Squidy It looks like the problem is with the item..
18:56 oleonard Does the item have a valid item type?
18:58 cait left #koha
19:04 Squidy oleonard: Yes.. https://snipboard.io/piwW4t.jpg
19:10 Squidy If I try to place hold in the staff interface, it works
19:16 oleonard Squidy: Do you have a value in the maxreserves system preference?
19:19 Squidy Yes... 10
19:20 tcohen[m] @seen aleisha
19:20 huginn` tcohen[m]: aleisha was last seen in #koha 6 days, 21 hours, 22 minutes, and 10 seconds ago: <aleisha> :D
20:02 kellym joined #koha
20:15 caroline Squidy, here's what I would check: item type of the item, category of the patron, the circulation rule for that itemtype/categorycode combination for the specific library and the rule for all the libraries, in the circulation rules page, at the bottom, there is a hold section, check that for the specific library and for all libraries
20:16 caroline I would also double check the item and the patron in the database to make sure the item type and category code are correct
20:16 caroline Sometimes things are displayed by default, but in the database it's not the correct code
20:19 dpk_ joined #koha
20:44 Squidy caroline: I checked and the settings seems to be correct...
20:44 Squidy select itype from items where barcode='XXXXX'
20:44 Squidy It shows: itype: LIV
20:44 Squidy LIV is the item type code..
20:44 Squidy In the Circulation Rule I verified and configured as you suggested. But it still does not work :-(
20:44 caroline weird... there must be something we're missing
20:45 caroline the patron is not expired and doesn't have fines?
20:46 Squidy No fines and does not expired... Too weird..
20:50 caroline do you have more than one branch?
20:57 Squidy No.. Only one..
20:59 caroline ok at least that simplifies things :)
21:13 caroline @later tell ashimema I clicked on the youtube icon at the bottom of this page and it gives a 404 error https://ptfs-europe.com/product_support/koha/
21:13 huginn` caroline: The operation succeeded.
23:23 lukeg dcook_: you about?
23:49 jjlangel[m] I'm shopping for a web host for my website, which includes Koha.  Is there a list somewhere in the documentation that tells me what to look for?  Does anyone have any recommendations?
23:49 dcook_ lukeg: Ish!
23:49 dcook_ Are you still around?
23:50 dcook_ jjlangel[m] no not really. You can Google around a bit for things like this thread: https://lists.katipo.co.nz/pub[…]ember/055608.html
23:50 dcook_ Even though I'm involved with the conversations there... that's also 3 years old
23:51 dcook_ The actual resources used depends a lot on planned usage as well.
23:54 jjlangel[m] dcook_: Thanks -- that bit of text has been added to the wiki.  I guess I was hoping for something a little more concrete ... although it looks like a lot of web hosting accounts offer 1G of RAM, so it rules a lot of them out.  I'm running a single library with pretty low usage.
23:55 dcook_ So a "web host" tends to be pretty limited in what they offer. You'll need a virtual private server for Koha
23:55 dcook_ DigitalOcean, Linode, AWS, Azure, etc
23:56 jjlangel[m] dcook_: Yes, the magic words "root access" seem to move there pretty quickly.  But even in the vps world, there seem to be a lot of questions I still cant answer.
23:57 dcook_ That's why people end up using support vendors I think ;)
23:58 dcook_ Digital Ocean's 4GB 2CPU 80GB SSD would probably be fine
23:58 dcook_ If you pay on demand, you can always tweak things later
23:59 jjlangel[m] Yes...I don't have that kind of budget
23:59 jjlangel[m] For a support vendor.  I'll have to go look at Digital Ocean...
23:59 dcook_ DigitalOcean is just an example. i've never used them myself.
