02:59 aMoRPHeouS never mind. Edited the hosts file. All good now :)
02:06 aMoRPHeouS Hey, anyone around?
22:21 [K]        *** join #koha@FreeNode: rangi n=chris@203-97-214-51.cable.telstraclear.net
19:01 owen       Selected works
19:01 kados      allocation sounds a bit victorian to me :-)
19:01 kados      maybe selected?
19:01 owen       How about allocated?
19:01 kados      as opposed to being in a queue
19:01 kados      yep
19:01 kados      it means that we have identified a specific barcode
19:01 owen       I guess identifying the barcode which has been chosen to fulfill the reserve?
18:57 owen       kados, looking at your recent change to circulation.tmpl, what does "Item targeted" mean?
18:56 kados      I'm going to mark it as a feature enhancement
18:55 kados      *nod*
18:55 owen       Low priority, though
18:54 owen       It's not a big deal, but it seems to me if we offer two lines for main address, we should do the same for other address inputs
18:54 kados      ?
18:54 kados      owen: do you still stand by: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1600
18:09 owen       kados: Are you not getting a message on circ when a patron's holds are waiting?
18:07 kados      yep
18:07 kados      the alt contact stuff, changing patron types, diabolical child->adult status changes, no way to tell what type a patron is
18:07 owen       All the patron category stuff just wasn't done 100%.
18:06 kados      and it's almost as if all of the issues we just talked about are related --
18:05 kados      sounds like we need to do some work on this whole process
18:05 kados      heh
18:05 owen       No :)
18:03 kados      make sense?
18:03 kados      lets make 1686 dependent on 1699 and 281 dependent on 1686 :-)
18:03 owen       But for the child-to-adult transition, I guess a satisfactory solution would be to be given the option of choosing one of the adult categories
18:02 kados      right
18:02 owen       Yeah, I guess so. And then there's Bug 1699
18:01 kados      right?
18:01 kados      when you update a patron from child to adult there needs to be a way to specify what adult category to put them in
18:00 kados      configurable
18:00 kados      types being hardcoded and categories being configuratble
18:00 kados      the other issue of course, is the difference between patron types and patron categories
17:59 kados      but I don't see it anywhere else
17:59 kados      in members-toolbar.inc
17:59 kados      I see 'is_child'
17:58 owen       In order to have that working, we'll have to make sure all the patron and circ pages are aware of the patron's adult/child category
17:58 owen       It must not have been added to the circ toolbar at the same time
17:57 kados      owen: is there a reason for that?
17:57 kados      I notice that that option isn't on the circ page
17:57 kados      that one should be easy
17:56 owen       In short, I can't promote a child to an adult because Koha doesn't think anyone is a child
17:56 owen       No, and I'm modifying it to reflect why: the fix won't work without fixing a new bug, bug 1686
17:54 kados      (with the dropdown to update from child to adult)
17:54 kados      owen: would you say taht's fixed now?
17:53 kados      owen: how about bug 281
17:53 kados      I'll bug ruan about it this week
17:53 kados      I'll just leave it
17:53 kados      actually
17:53 kados      well, much as I hate to do this I'm going to de-prioritize it to critical
17:53 kados      right
17:52 owen       I was hoping your libraries could give some input about their needs
17:52 kados      *nod*
17:52 owen       So I could go either way
17:52 owen       But I'm also aware that we may be moving away from saving those registration cards permanently, so havng all info in the database would be good.
17:51 owen       Part of me says forget it, it's not that important--we've got the information on the registration cards anyway
17:51 kados      bugger
17:51 owen       Yes
17:51 kados      so the fields have been re-appropriated in 3.0?
17:51 kados      ahh, gotcha
17:50 owen       Previous to that, I don't know that our ILSes actually stored the information, we just had it on their written registration cards
17:50 owen       NPL has been saving that information for years and years, and Koha just happened to have that same feature when we started using it
17:49 owen       An alternate contact person.
17:49 owen       [alternate contact] info is information about a person who the library can contact in order to reach the patron.
17:49 owen       the member entry form has been redesigned to record alternate information for the patron: an alternate address, an alternate phone, an alternate email. That's alternate [contact info].
17:48 kados      what's the diff between those two?
17:48 kados      yea, he didn't get back to me :-)
17:47 owen       that is [alternate contact] info, rather than alternate [contact info]
17:47 owen       You were going to check with ryan about whether Liblime's libraries really needed to be able to enter alternate contact info
17:46 owen       re: 1631....
17:46 kados      hiya
17:46 owen       kados: I'm back
17:20 kados      owen: you happen to be around?
16:45 [K]        *** join #koha@FreeNode: maktrix n=mak@59.152.90.138
16:21 kados      owen: that message seems to have gone away ... everything's now behind the holds tab ...
16:21 kados      owen: didn't circulation used to have a warning when items on hld were waiting?
15:53 kados      ahh, ok
15:53 owen       Oh, moremember.tmpl
15:53 kados      cool
15:53 owen       That sounds right to me
15:46 kados      * opac-detail.pl
15:46 kados      * opac-user.pl
15:46 kados      * circulation.pl
15:46 kados      * detail.pl
15:46 kados      * request.pl
15:46 kados      I've identified 5 pages that need to display the same information:
15:45 kados      670 is primarily about the status of a biblio or item that's got a hold on it ... specifically the 'in transit' vs 'waiting' status, right?
15:45 kados      owen: I keep getting distracted from 670 because I find bugs that prevent me from properly testing it ... but now that I'm back to it I'd like to just clarify
15:44 kados      owen: got a sec?
14:56 kados      cool
14:56 owen       I was just ripping off Worldcat for a dumbed-down advanced search screen.
14:56 owen       At least on this side of the Atlantic
14:56 kados      how goes it?
14:55 kados      ahh, right 'Merry' :-)
14:55 owen       Hi kados, Merry Christmas
14:55 kados      happy xmas :-)
14:55 kados      morning owen
