"No copies are available to be placed on hold" 14:41 owen There's definitely one copy available. 14:43 jwagner Obvious first things to check -- are on-shelf holds allowed, does that item type allow holds, etc. 14:44 owen Oh, on-shelf holds! I didn't realize that was turned off by default. 14:47 owen As far as anyone knows, should a single "default" issuing rule work for all patrons at all branches? 14:48 * owen is still being told he has too many holds. 14:48 jwagner owen, you're talking about setting a rule at the top-most level of the circ rules? Not going into a library first? I had trouble getting that to work when I tried it, but that was a while back. 14:49 owen Right, I have numbers set for default patron category, default item type, default library 14:49 owen I guess I'll try adding some lines 14:49 jwagner owen, regarding problems placing holds, if this is in OPAC, see Bug 3785 14:49 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3785 critical, PATCH-Sent, ---, chris@bigballofwax.co.nz, ASSIGNED, New Install, no maxreserves setting, OPAC holds fail 14:53 owen Hm, applying that patch doesn't solve my problem (before adding any additional issuing rules) 14:56 owen Can't place a hold even after adding an issuing rule for my patron/branch/itemtype *and* applying that patch 14:59 jwagner If you set an equivalent circ rule under the library, does it work? 15:00 owen Do you mean under "defaults for this library?" 15:00 jwagner In circ rules, instead of at top level, select the appropriate library & create the rule. 15:01 owen Yeah, that's what I meant about adding a rule for my patron/branch/itemtype. I've got a rule for my branch, my patron category, and the itemtype in question. 15:01 jwagner I'm running out of ideas :-( 15:14 owen Hmmm...

I've been struggling with e-mail ODUE notification for some time. Our Linux gurus installed Postfix and I think put the pl script in crontab, but I'm not receiving e-mails. I'm pretty sure the pl script was run manually to generate the e-mails. I'd appreciate any feedback... 16:17 wizzyrea um, good morning? very quiet! 16:17 owen We were having a 13-minute moment of silence for your goose. 16:20 wizzyrea !! 16:21 owen Okay, back to work everyone! 16:21 wizzyrea lol 16:24 nelsonf we've got lots of patron types and overdue_notices.pl runs thru all of them, repeatedly for each fo the 4 branches, even though only one patron type for one branch is set to receive the ODUE notices. 16:25 wizzyrea nengard: you there chica? 16:25 nengard wizzyrea yup yup - patching patching :) 16:25 wizzyrea okies, I think I see what happened with the note 16:25 nengard awesome! 16:25 wizzyrea it was part of new acq, it was in and then the template that I changed was overwritten 16:25 wizzyrea so I'll fix it again 16:25 wizzyrea ;) 16:29 nengard awesome - thanks wizzyrea 16:35 wizzyrea hm. I get an error 500 whenever I try to get the acquisitions on my install 16:36 wizzyrea nm I found it :P 16:37 jwagner nelsonf, is the problem that overdues aren't being generated, or that they're being generated for patrons not set to get them? 16:37 owen *whew* made it through all the new bugzilla emails, but my inbox is still filled with stuff to look at. 16:38 nelsonf not being generated. I'm trying to set up tests by checking out books for myself, to trigger notices, but no notices forthcoming 16:39 nengard sorry for all the emails owen :) but thanks for checking those!!! 16:39 owen No, thank you for all the emails! 16:41 nelsonf jwagner, I run perl -I /usr/share/koha/lib /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/overdue_notices.pl -t -n -v and can see the patron type and branch output. should I show you this? 16:42 wizzyrea hmm. I actually don't particularly like this new suggestion interface :( 16:42 jwagner nelsonf, not sure we can troubleshoot here -- need lots of info. Doublecheck your triggers and make sure your overdue date (with grace period) matches the trigger date. I always have trouble dialing it in. 16:43 nelsonf how does the grace period factor in? 16:44 jwagner Come to think of it, does grace period affect overdue notices, or fines? Anyone? 16:49 nelsonf I have a fine grace period of 3 days, and fine charging interval of 7 days, for my patron/branch type. I've been working off the idea that if a book is due yesterday -- with Delay 1 for ODUE, I then should receive an e-mail today. 16:52 jwagner Does the patron category say Yes for receiving overdues? 16:53 nelsonf Yes. For testing, my patron category (LIB-S) is the only one that says Yes. We have many (10?) patron types, all say No but LIB-S. 16:53 wizzyrea nengard: http://screencast.com/t/ODgyMDAzZTYt like so?/ 16:54 nengard wizzyrea looks good to me 16:54 nengard also make sure it goes to the edit suggestion form as well 16:54 nengard click on the title in your suggestion there and see if it's in the form 16:54 wizzyrea not sure why you'd want to sort on that, will have to fix that 16:54 wizzyrea yea, it's there 16:54 nengard awesome 16:55 wizzyrea at the bottom, Notes 16:55 wizzyrea cool, I'll get this ready to send :) 16:55 wizzyrea thanks for catching that 16:57 nelsonf jwagner, In trigger screen (overduerules.pl) I'm assigning Delay numbers in the Default library. All other libraries show Delay null and Letter "No notice". Actually one other patron type lists Yes to receive ODUE, but this is set to Delay null and Letter "No notice" for all three letters. 16:58 jwagner Try setting the delay under the actual library instead of under the top default level. per my earlier discussion with owen, I've had problems with doing the setup at the default level. 16:59 nelsonf okay. then I Save Changes, run the pl script from PutTY and the e-mail should be generated manually? 16:59 jwagner With luck.... 17:04 nelsonf do I also need to run perl -I /usr/share/koha/lib /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/process_message_queue.pl -v to generate the actual e-mail? 17:04 jwagner Yes 17:04 nelsonf fingers crossed... 17:15 nelsonf just looking at the sql output, I see Returns 0 rows for each of the 3 passes on CFCE | LIB-S. FYI, I set Delay to 6,7,8 and see output (6,7) for first pass, then (7,8), then (8,90). No e-mail apparently generated. I have items due 19,20,21,22 December. 17:17 nelsonf Oops, thats (7,8) - no emoticon. 17:19 jwagner nelsonf, I'm out of ideas -- anyone else? 17:20 nelsonf thanks for offering suggestions on my current grail search! 17:34 nelsonf a related question? for PREDUE advance notices I can't get check box to show up under the patron messaging tab. I only have blanks (a dash -, actually) for SMS/Email/Digest only, and RSS. However, on the Item DUE row I see check boxes for SMS/Email/Digest only. Maybe my version doesn't support this feature? 3.00.01.005 17:36 chris owen: you about? 17:36 owen Yes 17:38 nelsonf In the manual I see "bug #2455" and "IMPORTANT: This feature is still experimental", so maybe I should leave well enough alone for now! http://koha.org/documentation/manual/3.0/administration/global-system-preferences/patrons#enhancedmessagingpreferences 17:38 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2455 normal, PATCH-Sent, ---, gmcharlt@gmail.com, RESOLVED FIXED, remove SMS column from patron messaging preferences if SMSSendDriver is not defined 17:38 pastebot "chris" at 192.168.15.101 pasted "issuingrules" (21 lines) at http://paste.workbuffer.org/100 17:39 chris does your issuingrules table look like that? 17:39 brendan howdy chris 17:39 brendan cya all later 17:39 brendan :) 17:39 owen chris: yes 17:40 chris and you still cant add circulation rules? 17:40 nengard hi chris 17:40 chris http://librarian.koha.workbuffer.org/cgi-bin/koha/admin/smart-rules.pl 17:40 owen chris: sorry, the whole issue is getting muddled.

But I still can't place holds 17:40 chris ahh totally different bug 17:41 owen chris: Yes, but I had to modify the issuingrules table by hand just to be able to add circ rules 17:41 owen So yes, the issuingrules table bug exists. 17:41 nengard chris me too - mine looks like that and i can't add rules 17:41 owen It just doesn't solve my problem all by itself. 17:43 chris well adding that column fixes adding rules, at least for owen and I 17:43 chris owen: reserves from opac or staff side? 17:43 owen Staff side is what I was testing 17:44 owen I'd have to apply your bug-fix for OPAC holds in order to test that...

My tech assistant got the server part up and running in just a couple of hours, but we don't have any clients set up yet. 20:20 rhcl Looks really cool--the "koha integration" is a nice little touch. 20:21 rhcl It's all php, and the server seems to run just fine on Mint and my OpenSuse connection. 20:22 rhcl It's much more logically organized than some other access control systems. 20:23 wizzyrea that sounds great 20:23 wizzyrea no print management though, right? 20:24 rhcl I don't think so??? 20:24 rhcl That seems to be an open frontier in the OS world...lots of opportunities???? 20:26 rhcl I do know that Userful takes their product and integrates it with the PC-Cop printer control system, so maybe that could be done (would require some additional coding I'm sure) with libki and PC-Cop. 20:36 chris printing is such a nightmare 20:36 chris i dont think anyone wants to touch it 20:37 chris it sounds easy, until you have to deal with all the exceptions 20:42 wizzyrea ugh, yea, printing is so evill
