05:48 LibraryHU[m] Hello, We have recently upgraded our Koha to 22.05. We have also integrated Proquest Syndetics Unbound into it. In the earlier version, we used to update our book carousal from News section in Koha tools. We contacted Proquest support and they have advised to work on a file available in this folder opac-tmpl/modules. We are unable to find this folder. Looking for your support
05:49 LibraryHU[m] * Koha tools. But now it is not working. We contacted
05:58 chimster[m] <LibraryHU[m]> "Hello, We have recently upgraded..." <- ```/usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/``` : have you tried this path?
06:01 LibraryHU[m] chimster[m]: hi, actually our IT department is working on it and i think yes, we found this path but then were unable to locate this file opac-detail.tmpl
06:02 LibraryHU[m] * file opac-detail.tmpl, which proquest team asked us to look into
06:02 chimster[m] .tmpl or .tt?
06:03 chimster[m] it must be opac-detail.tt or opac-detail.pl
06:04 chimster[m] afaik there are no .tmpl files
06:08 LibraryHU[m] chimster[m]: okay let me inform my IT team member to look into it. Thanks for your help

09:00 ammarspv[m] Hi,
09:00 ammarspv[m] In the item barcode, is there a way to enable duplicate item barcodes for the same biblio?
09:00 cait no, the item barcode is unique
09:00 cait you can't and shoudl not change that
09:00 cait what are you trying to do?
09:08 ammarspv[m] I want to use it for inventory management, and all items must be scanned with unified number that is not ISBN - which field do you suggest that I use? as it should be scannable, printed, and the same Identifier for all items
09:22 cait Koha can print barcode labels for you
09:22 cait with a unique sequential number
09:22 cait that's usually how it's done, items are labelled by the library with unique codes
09:23 cait if your items are not books or similar, you could maybe use the callnumber - it doesn't need to be unique and is used to identify where an item is located in the library usually
09:42 ammarspv[m] callnumber, in the "add new item" screen is equivalent of: o - Full call number - am I correct?
09:43 cait yes
09:43 ammarspv[m] Perfect - thanks a million Cait
09:44 cait if you want to use circulation, you'll still need a unique barcode - maybe let one be generated witht he AutoBarcode setting
09:44 cait it might be helpful later
10:04 ammarspv[m] Agreed
10:43 Annelisterman[m] Hi! Is there a list where I can check which library/branch is used when sending email messages? For example for hold pick up notices the pick up library is used. I already tried the manual and Wiki and didn't find anything. :)
10:47 aude_c[m] haha, I'm also going to look into that this week - one of our library teams asked about it
10:48 aude_c[m] It's easy for overdues because there is the OverdueNoticeFrom sys prefs
10:49 aude_c[m] But otherwise yes, we should definitely add this to the Manual once we have the answers 🙂
10:49 Annelisterman[m] Could it be that digests are sent from patron's home library and checkins/checkouts from the libarary the action was made?
10:50 Annelisterman[m] There are more messages than those of course
11:17 khall joined #koha
11:27 oleonard joined #koha
12:03 cait Annelisterman[m]: roughly speaking that's how i remember it
12:03 cait but there could be new configuration switches in some cases
12:04 cait we used to have a note for the DGST in the editor, but it went away, so something might have changed
12:40 cait Joubu: did you break master?
12:40 cait after my last push it still looked green'ish
12:41 cait tcohen: or is that realted to your Jenkins work?
12:42 pastebot "tcohen" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "Joubu: it seems we are good" (122 lines) at https://paste.koha-community.org/37722
12:47 lds joined #koha
12:47 cait ok, I am off for about 2 hours, be back later
12:49 tcohen cait: what do you mean master?
12:49 tcohen a specific jenkins task?
12:49 tcohen we've had some failures yesterday due to missing things on nodes
12:49 tcohen (bad cron) but once that got fixed I triggered all tasks again
12:50 tcohen my work from yesterday is only related to adding test pipelines for the security branches, so a separate thing

13:00 tcohen ah, docker_1
13:00 tcohen I lost access yesterday
13:00 tcohen it had issues
13:00 tcohen it seems it resurrected from the ashes
13:01 tcohen moving to ByWater's VPN to connect
13:01 tcohen might disconnect for a bit
13:03 Joubu this is not docker_1

15:38 cait it turned all the master nodes yellow, before that it was only D10

20:03 JasonGreene[m] We have one koha server however we have 2 different parts of our library... 2 different buildings
20:03 JasonGreene[m] should we have 2 branches? or  ??
20:04 JasonGreene[m] we have one library in Koha now and no  branches
20:06 JasonGreene[m] or is there a different way ?
20:07 oleonard Two branches sounds logical to me JasonGreene[m]
20:07 caroline I would say it depends on your workflows... Branches are mostly used to indicate where items are located. If patrons can return items in a different branch and items need to be transfered to their home library, you need to use branches
20:09 caroline branches can also have different policies, so that can be useful too
20:12 JasonGreene[m] ours is where each book is located, checked out and return is the same but can be both... so I'll need to make 2 branches and edit each book to show that ??
20:14 caroline It's hard to say definitively since I don't know your particular situation, but I would say 2 branches would probably be best. Just to make sure you can track where each item is.
20:16 JasonGreene[m] That makes sense .. I'm not seeing "branch" in  koha 23.. is it different?
20:17 caroline It's called Library
20:17 caroline https://koha-community.org/man[…]on.html#libraries
20:19 JasonGreene[m] ok, so each "library" is a library and not a "branch"  ?
20:19 caroline it's the same. branch is the term in the database, library is the term in the interface
20:22 caroline I think Library is the more generic term. Koha is used by consortia, so their "branches" are not actually branches of the same library
20:22 JasonGreene[m] ok, If I understand, now that I've imported all of our books into "one" library, I'll have to create a second one and transfer the needed books into it?
20:22 caroline yes
20:26 JasonGreene[m] or remove them all and re-import them apart from each other.... I put two sheet  into one sheet then imported it as one library
20:28 caroline also a possibility if you don't mind deleting everything.
20:28 caroline If your items have barcodes, you can use the batch edit tool to change the home and holding libraries
20:29 JasonGreene[m] Ok,  how does the affect the Patrons
20:29 caroline having branches? or moving the items?
20:30 JasonGreene[m] both
20:31 caroline for patrons, they will have a home library, which is used I think for sending some notices (you can have different versions of notices per branch/library)
20:31 caroline Moving the items should not affect patrons, I don't think
20:31 JasonGreene[m] ok,
20:33 JasonGreene[m] rather than staring over, now I'm thinking of creating 2 more libs and then then, if possible, batch move books from the first lib to the correct lib we have about 14K books
20:37 JasonGreene[m] or just create a second lib and move the necessary items to it
20:38 caroline Would it not be easier to just move the items from one library? Unless it's because you wanted to change the branchcode too?
20:44 JasonGreene[m] I think it would be easier to just move them
22:11 caroline Some news! https://2024.kohacon.org/news/ Newsletter coming out probably tomorrow. We just have to set up the DKIM thing with mailchimp
22:22 davidnind Nice!
22:38 dcook_ caroline: Cool :)
22:38 dcook_ Wait I'll practice my French. Génial :)
