05:44 cnighs      hi mc
05:44 mc          cnighs, i had it as poster in my former job
05:43 mc          hello all
04:44 cnighs      neat: http://www.scribd.com/doc/3554203/PeriodicTable-for-Perl-6
03:31 chris       np
03:31 cnighs      tnx
03:31 chris       i use it on a daily basis
03:31 cnighs      that works very nicely
03:26 chris       i think one of the examples in the man, is doing somethign just like that :)
03:26 chris       yeah its good for stuff like that
03:26 cnighs      I wanted to verify how some code functioned before I mangled it :-)
03:25 cnighs      cool!
03:25 chris       its really really handy :)
03:25 chris       you can get em all back again
03:24 chris       http://blog.bigballofwax.co.nz/2008/04/16/got-a-messy-git-checkout/
03:24 chris       git stash
02:33 atz_        yeah, utf8.pm qualifies as internal

02:24 atz_        sub import {
02:24 atz_        wow... now that's some black magic perl (in core no less):
02:11 cnighs      if the decode is successful it assumes utf8 encoding?
02:06 atz_        but I'm not sure that makes sense
02:06 atz_                    }
02:06 atz_                        $cgi_params->{$param_name} = $param_value;
02:06 atz_                    if (utf8::decode($param_value)) {
02:06 atz_        currently the TransformHtmlToMarc function has:
01:54 cnighs      I fiddled with the Encode module a bit when troubleshooting some labels encoding issues, but it did not seem to help
01:50 chris       makes sense
01:48 atz_        interesting.... seems superficially relevant to our many "wide character" problems:  http://perldoc.perl.org/perlunifaq.html#What-if-I-don't-encode%3f
23:33 acmoore     I guess I'll go eat.
23:33 acmoore     It's hard to tell what to do.
23:32 acmoore     in some past projects, I have tried to have the policy that bugs get fixed before new features are added, but with this one, I don't think I'd ever get to add a new feature! we're opening them pretty fast and writing more code every day.
23:31 cnighs      tnx, acmoore, atz, and chris
23:31 acmoore     good. thanks.
23:31 cnighs      ok, bug 2491 opened for this one
23:27 acmoore     but features are more fun!
23:27 cnighs      k
23:26 acmoore     you can put me as a cc or something and I may get to it eventually since I at least see what you're talking about.
23:26 cnighs      doing bugfixing is certainly one way to get acquainted with maximum codebase in minimum time
23:26 cnighs      yeah, I'll file a bug and assign it to myself since I'm in the area
23:26 acmoore     There are some usability problems here, and also a functionality problem.
23:25 cnighs      I don't *know* ;-)
23:25 acmoore     cnighs: can you express this in the form of a bug report?
23:25 cnighs      hehe
23:25 cnighs      datetime
23:25 acmoore     cnighs: yeah, you have to *know* that it's a number of days.
23:25 acmoore     cnighs: oh yeah, this is the opposite from that. He corrected the delay with no action, this is action with no delay.
23:25 cnighs      int?
23:25 cnighs      days, months, years?
23:24 cnighs      what kind of value should be in delay?
23:24 cnighs      acmoore: yes, but probably for the specific case prescribed in the bug
23:24 acmoore     hrm. That sounds like what Galen's 2293 patch was supposed to do.
23:24 atz         sounds like it
23:23 cnighs      we need an error message me thinks :-\
23:23 acmoore     or at least should be. Otherwise, it doesn't know when to do that action.
23:23 atz         yeah, delay is required, and you have to go left to right
23:23 acmoore     ah, yes, I think a delay is *required*
23:23 acmoore     I did that and it reflects whe stuff I put in.
23:23 cnighs      but I see a delay is *semi* required?
23:22 cnighs      go to tools/overduerules.pl and select a branch, select a letter and save.....
23:21 acmoore     anyway, let me try to reproduce this. What do I do?
23:21 acmoore     here's that patch in case it helps: http://markmail.org/message/7rght2zzqyk4rmh7
23:19 cnighs      a similar symptom
23:19 cnighs      here is a bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2293
23:19 cnighs      that field was too short that for sure
23:18 acmoore     hmm. crummy link. let me know if that doesn't work.
23:17 acmoore     I was thinking of this http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=Koha;a=blobdiff;f=installer/data/mysql/kohastructure.sql;h=b0061585a22ac3950463f2d3e3dfa9f06e74cc2b;hp=c9813051f001cf37fafc767d283d69a7250f6b4a;hb=0ed39b89cdf9891f8bdae6139ad6d8330b04dcab;hpb=8f55696a4dcf07f2da9eb1b8576f08c2479272a1 but I'm not sure if it really affects what I thought it did.
23:15 cnighs      branchcode has three letters 'MPL'
23:15 cnighs      odd, my repo is current
23:14 acmoore     Oh yeah, I think a few db versions ago fixed the situation where it would not save rules for branches with branchcodes greater than 2 characters or something like that.
23:14 cnighs      and after inserting a rule via mysql, it does not appear to display the rule either
23:14 cnighs      it appears not to save rules
23:14 cnighs      tnx chris
23:13 chris       ill bbiab
23:13 chris       ok i have meetings
23:13 acmoore     there was a recent bug with it fixed that dealt with it not displaying rules in some cases, I don't recall the details, but other than that, I thought that's how it worked.
23:13 cnighs      it does not appear to do much of anything afaics
23:13 acmoore     I thought that tools/overduerules.pl let you see, edit, add, and delete overdue rules.
23:13 acmoore     hi cnighs.
23:12 cnighs      overdue_notices.pl looks at the overduerules table
23:12 chris       i suspect its been butchered in 3
23:12 chris       fines.pl used to deal with it run as a cron job
23:12 chris       .5,3,7  50 cents after 3 days, then another 50 every 7
23:11 chris       eg, if you had 1,7,7   it would be 1$ after 7 days overdue, then another $1 ever 7 days after that
23:11 chris       when a fine is place, how much, when its added to
23:10 chris       its more to do with fines
23:10 chris       yo
23:08 cnighs      chris ?
23:06 cnighs      overduerules must define the action taken when an issuingrules is violated?
23:01 cnighs      acmoore ?
23:00 cnighs      tools/overduerules.pl appears to only define/add them
23:00 cnighs      is there a means of viewing and/or editing overdue rules from w/in Koha?
22:50 atz         odd... try adding a rule via mysql and see if it pops up
22:50 cnighs      smart-rules does not populate it either it seems.
22:49 cnighs      not sure
22:48 atz         is it smart rules now?
22:48 cnighs      shouldn't overduerules.pl do it?
22:45 atz         yeah, if you're at the couch, you need scoops
22:44 cnighs      I can eat a pint w/a bag of "scoops" at one setting :-)
22:44 cnighs      jalapeños, hot bananas, Hungarian wax
22:43 atz         that sounds like a ton... or is that just "a 3 week supply" for you?
22:43 atz         yowza!
22:42 cnighs      I supplied the peppers and tomatoes and a friend made me a couple of gallons
22:41 atz         cnighs: not yet, but I'll have to do something w/ the current hot pepper crop
22:41 atz         the icemilk was trump.  i just wish i had more purple basil (for color and flavor)
22:40 cnighs      do you make any of your own salsa?
22:40 atz         sounds like similar menu sensibilities
22:40 cnighs      man, that sounds good too
22:39 atz         awesome... last night had potato wedges and homemade (motor cranked) triple-mint triple-basil icemilk
22:37 cnighs      that with home made fries and a bit later some hand-cranked chocolate chip mint ice cream
22:37 atz         is there an interface to remove a biblio record?
22:35 atz         sounds pretty good
22:24 chris       still sounds good
22:23 cnighs      actually the marinate was Honey Dijon Vinaigrette
22:06 ryan        hdl: thx, i think we've got it all figured out here.
21:30 atz         dunno... maybe nicole, she's closest
21:21 chris       sounds good
21:21 cnighs      and puts on chicken marinated in Italian dressing
21:10 chris       excellent
21:10 atz         extraordinarily well
21:10 chris       atz: did your meal turn out well?
21:09 chris       hey cnighs
21:07 cnighs      hi chris
21:06 chris       morning
20:56 hdl         ryan : I will try to see overdue notices tomorrow.
20:55 atz         probably should be put in updatedatabase
20:55 atz         The code was:  UPDATE marc_subfield_structure SET authtypecode="PERSO_NAME" WHERE authtypecode="PERS0_NAME";
20:49 atz         ok, got it
20:47 ryan        atz: i think that's where it's wrong ?
20:47 ryan        it is in marc_subfield_structure.
20:46 ryan        ah...
20:44 ryan        hmm
20:39 atz         Empty set (0.13 sec)
20:39 atz         mysql> select * from auth_subfield_structure where authtypecode LIKE "%0%";
20:39 atz         Empty set (0.03 sec)
20:39 atz         mysql> select * from auth_tag_structure where authtypecode LIKE "%0%";
20:36 atz         Empty set (0.00 sec)
20:36 atz         foo.... mysql> SELECT * from auth_types where authtypecode LIKE "%0%";
20:36 ryan        atz: auth_tag_structure & auth_subfield_structure
20:35 ryan        atz: actually, i think it may be.
20:34 atz         ryan: I suspect it isn't as simple as:  UPDATE auth_types SET authtypecode=PERSO_NAME where authtypecode=PERS0_NAME;
20:26 acmoore     hmm. OK. thanks.
20:25 ryan        i'll put them all into one bug report.
20:25 ryan        acmoore: yes, i am still having some problems with other data missing as well.
20:25 acmoore     ryan: can you open a bug that shows this problem, please?
20:24 acmoore     ryan: I'm not sure of the best way to fix it. I think it stems from the poor way that it handles defaulting to all branches when no particular branch is selected.
20:20 ryan        i guess it's a quick fix that removes some functionality.  i think a proper fix would require adding an api function?
20:19 acmoore     I didn't realize that it did that. I thought it just dealt with cases where there was a default rule. Hmm. I don't think that's intentional.
20:15 ryan        hdl: , acmoore  or anyone familiar with overdue notices:  I see Paul's latest patch makes overdue rules require a branch.  This is intended ?
20:06 owen        liz-nekls: dealing with mostly paperwork today, unfortunately
19:58 liz-nekls_  I've been afk sorry >.<
19:57 liz-nekls_  going pretty well, how are you Owen?
19:52 owen        I strongly suspect the translator would /not/.
19:52 owen        Unless you get the word from paul that the translator script would pick up translatable strings inside the DEFAULT=""
19:51 cnighs      owen, atz: is the general consensus to avoid using the DEFAULT= option of TMPL_VAR?
19:17 owen        Hey liz-nekls, how's it going?
18:53 ryan        change the zero to 'O'
18:53 ryan        atz: that's an old framework problem that was fixed.
18:53 pianohacker Odd
18:52 ryan        pianohacker: that seems like a strange behavior.  I guess it means 'we withdraw all claims of ownership of this material, so don't try to give it back to us.'
18:52 atz         The missing auth. type is apparenlly AR  	Models  	100  	a  	PERS0_NAME
18:51 ryan        atz:  is that in a new installation?
18:51 ryan        hrmm.  that doesn't sound good.
18:51 pianohacker Dumb question: What exactly does it mean when an item is withdrawn? It looks like AddReturn won't let you remove the checkout
18:48 atz         invalid authority types:  Not all authority types referred to by the frameworks are defined.
18:48 atz         so if I run the MARC Bibliographic Framework Test, and it tells me:
18:46 owen        Yeah
18:46 ryan        so it's in the script?
18:45 ryan        that's odd.
18:45 owen        Looks like that's the same thing that's being output to the adv search page
18:44 owen        Ryan, I notice that when I edit my CCODEs to remove the icon, the Authorized Values screen that lists my CCODEs tries to load this image for each one: <img alt="" src="/intranet-tmpl/prog/img/itemtypeimg/removeImage"/>
18:39 owen        So I'm not testing it properly
18:39 ryan        so the adv search syspref is set to ccode.
18:39 owen        Oh, sorry
18:39 ryan        owen: these are collection codes
18:37 owen        ryan, is that with noItemTypeImages on, or with 'no image' selected for the item types?
18:35 ryan        owen: http://nekls.tst.kohalibrary.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl
18:34 ryan        hi owen
18:12 owen        ryan around?
17:38 hdl         cnighs: yes : I thought we could eventually use it.
17:23 nengard     I got the impression that this part was new
17:23 nengard     kados did the API give you covers before today?
17:18 nengard     kados - awesome!!
17:17 kados       it'll be part of 3.2 for sure
17:16 kados       did that over last weekend at the airport
17:11 nengard     awesome: http://www.librarything.com/blog/2008/08/million-free-covers-from-librarything.php
16:54 gmcharlt    paul: thanks
16:54 paul        thx, gmcharlt & congrats for your promotion to VP ;-)
16:54 gmcharlt    paul: enjoy your vacation
16:50 cnighs      enjoy!
16:50 cnighs      paul: no internet++
16:49 acmoore     paul: have a good time!
16:49 acmoore     cnighs: I encourage you to propose that to koha-devel. I'll happily follow a reasonable proposal like that.
16:49 paul        no internet access at all until then.
16:49 paul        ok, it's time for vacation for me NOW. will be back on aug, 28
16:48 cnighs      acmoore: that makes things a bit more objective ;-)
16:47 acmoore     cnighs: yep, it does. Agreeing on that one might be a way to defer to an innocent third party.
16:45 cnighs      acmoore, hdl: "Perl Best Practices" has a nice recommendation for perltidyrc
16:15 acmoore     complying with anything at all would be far better than what we have, though, so I don't mind too much.
16:14 acmoore     I think it's pretty minimal, but every potential change is a potential war, so I don't really dare to add too much to it.
16:13 hdl         At least, it exists.
16:13 hdl         Maybe it is enough.
16:10 acmoore     I'm open to suggestions (or patches), though.
16:09 acmoore     There's one in xt/perltidyrc of the disutribution. I tried to make it based on historical evidence I found of desired style.
16:09 hdl         acmoore ? I have seen some recommandation in some mail.
16:06 gmcharlt    hdl: I think acmoore has a minimal perltidyrc
16:06 gmcharlt    hi hdl
16:06 hdl         everyone : Is there some common perltidyrc we should use ?
16:05 hdl         hi gmcharlt
15:17 hdl         good evening johnny
15:17 johnny      good evening all
15:11 atz         yeah, (imho) these designer barcode formats are clearly not worth the trouble they cause
15:10 acmoore     atz: makes sense. thanks.
15:10 atz         acmoore: it looks like it fails for "annual" format because Dates has a syspref dependency
14:44 johnny      nice one
14:44 johnny      cool
14:44 acmoore     johnny: I opened up bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2483 for this. thanks for the notice.
14:42 atz         acmoore: only 1 test in Barcodes, iirc
14:41 johnny      ah
14:41 johnny      git log says i am at "commit 885b2337a11253a5d726955134514dff457e7d41"
14:41 acmoore     johnny: thanks, that helps. It looks like there is a test in the Barcodes.t that depends on the database. that should be moved to the database dependent tests.
14:40 johnny      the output of make test is http://dpaste.com/69992/
14:40 johnny      I guess 3.X
14:40 johnny      acmoore: i'm using the git version
14:32 hdl         or should be
14:32 hdl         statistics table is there.
14:31 atz         ?
14:29 hdl         atz: seems statistics table has been dropped ?
14:14 acmoore     also, we neeed a better way of helping users measure their "version" number.
14:13 acmoore     johnny: what version of koha are you running? I'm wondering if we have missed some of those tests.
14:13 acmoore     johnny: it does, but it's not supposed to. I've been working on moving those tests so that a basic "make test" will succeed before the database is built.
14:13 atz         johnny: it may be true, though data dependent stuff is supposed to be moved to a separate directory
14:06 johnny      am I right?
14:06 johnny      so, i have a feeling make test needs to have some Tables created before being able to succeed?
13:35 nengard     Debra Denault: there are two default values .. one in the list of locations and then for each notice trigger you set for a given patron category (for a location or across all locations) there is an option called default which it defaults to :)
13:35 nengard     Nicole Engard: oh ... hmmm
13:35 nengard     Debra Denault: not the default for the libraries but the notice one
13:35 nengard     Nicole Engard: i didn't get to test notices much
13:35 nengard     Nicole Engard: let me check with the guys though
13:35 nengard     Nicole Engard: default i think will be all categories
13:35 nengard     Debra Denault: do you know what the choice "default" refers to in the list of notice templates when you are defining your notice triggers for a given patron category?
13:35 nengard     need help with notices if anyone can give me advice
13:28 hdl         is there a problem ?
13:28 hdl         kados : I sent a patch months ago : fixes 2 search problem and received no answer on it neither was it pushed.
13:27 owen        Hi hdl
13:27 hdl         hi
12:00 johnny      chris: thanks!
