All of a sudden they just *do stuff* and you're like, whoa... 02:57 liz-nekls like, yesterday I was getting spud a sippy with milk, and he said No! Mommy, cup! Straw! 02:58 liz-nekls he did *not* want the sippy 02:58 liz-nekls and was very happy and careful with his cup and straw 02:58 liz-nekls totally out of the blue for me 02:58 chris wait til he tries to make you a coffee 02:58 liz-nekls HAHA 02:59 liz-nekls (more likely tea but oh my look out) 02:59 liz-nekls he already knows that honey and milk go into tea, and that tea is yummy 02:59 chris specially when he knows he isnt allowed hot water 02:59 liz-nekls LOL, it sounds like you have a story there 02:59 chris cold water milk and 4 teaspoons of coffee 02:59 chris its not that pleasant 02:59 chris :) 02:59 liz-nekls but funny 03:00 chris yeah i nuked it, and drank it, cos he was so pleased with himself 03:00 liz-nekls hehe 03:01 liz-nekls I have reached a critical point of saturation with KLOW... I really don't want to work on it, but I know I have to. hrmph 03:02 liz-nekls I'd rather fart around on twitter 03:02 liz-nekls that's how bad it is 03:02 chris hehe 03:11 chris_n2 my 3 year old likes coffee 03:11 chris_n2 decaf I should add 03:12 chris heh, theres a lifelong addiction in the making :-) 03:13 chris http://www.librarytechnology.org/map.pl?ILS=Koha 03:13 chris more libraries now 03:13 chris but there are still 372 without coordinates 03:13 chris http://www.librarytechnology.org/libraries.pl?ILS=Koha&Coordinates=none 03:13 chris if you get really bored liz-nekls ;-) 03:14 chris_n2 ouch... beyond bored I think 03:14 liz-nekls it was fun to look at the map, scroll in on kansas and it's like, "hi, we rule you." 03:14 chris http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html 03:15 chris wow, heather sure likes basketball 03:15 brendan evening all 03:15 chris heya brendan 03:15 chris_n2 hey bendan 03:18 liz-nekls oh I know right 03:18 liz-nekls hehe 03:19 liz-nekls I mean, I went to KU and I don't like it that much... she isn't even an alum, don't quite get it 03:19 liz-nekls I mean, I cheer for my team in the tournament :P 03:19 liz-nekls i'm def a fair weather fan. 03:20 liz-nekls oh, wow, I had missed the wall of bball tweets... 03:21 * liz-nekls is hit with critical wall of tweets for 9999... dies. 03:25 chris heh 03:37 Genji hiya all.. anyone know what default.idx:14: Failed to load ICU chain icu.xml means? 03:37 Amit heya brendan, chris, chris_n2 03:37 Amit heya Genji 03:38 chris_n2 howdy Amit 03:38 Genji Also, anyone who has done a complete install of koha 3.0 RC1 on Debian 4 or 5, and has some spare time available to do it, please let me know. Im tired of banging my head against a brick wall trying to do it. 03:38 * Genji is a developer.. not an installer. 03:40 brendan heya amit 03:40 Genji Any takers? 03:42 * Genji adds.. "Will Pay!" 03:45 * chris_n2 fails to resist the urge to log into his dev box and do a little coding before hitting the hay 03:46 liz-nekls ah the siren call of the command line 03:46 Genji Hrm... no... siren call of vim or mc, for me. me and the command line are not mixing well. 03:47 liz-nekls genji: installing can be so frustrating 03:47 Genji liz-nekls: how many times have you done it? 03:47 chris_n2 zebras kick kinda hard sometimes too 03:47 * liz-nekls still hasn't properly come to terms with nasty old zebra 03:48 liz-nekls gengi: probably 15 times, but only a few times with zebra (we hates it precious) 03:48 liz-nekls so, not that many times, all told 03:48 Genji What the world needs is not love, but a fully set up Koha ISOmatic. Just insert the cd, and installs onto the hdd like Freepbx does. 03:49 * wizzyrea_ slips into a more comfortable persona 03:49 Genji would probably need a few versions at that, for libraries that are too paranoid to move from 3.0 to a more recent version. 03:49 wizzyrea_ well, there is a live CD, iirc 03:50 wizzyrea_ but it doesn't install it, of course 03:50 Genji hmm.. yeah. it needs to be installed into a dedicated box. 03:50 wizzyrea_ spose you could image it over to a hard disk 03:51 Genji thats also koha 3.0.4 isnt it? 03:51 Genji how much changes was there between 3 and 3.0.4? 03:52 wizzyrea_ lots 03:52 wizzyrea_ many things fixed/added 03:53 * wizzyrea_ loves the exotic nature of cloud hosting, but misses the hum of the server room that goes with it. 03:53 Genji would 3.0.0 require things that don't get installed in 3.0.4? 03:53 Genji As in, could I image the livecd onto hdd, and then copy the old files on top of 3.0.4? 03:58 * chris_n2 figures cloud computing also reduces the HVAC load 03:59 chris_n2 why stick with 3.0.0? 04:01 wizzyrea_ chris_n2: true, and I thought I read something somewhere about heat exchanging data centers that were using the waste heat to do something useful, but I can't remember what it was exactly 04:01 chris_n2 it's great in the winter, but wretched during the summer 04:02 chris_n2 now if the heat could be used to brew coffee or tea we might be onto something ;-) 04:02 Genji chris_n2: because the library im doing work for, has done custom modifications to koha, and don't want them disturbed. They didn't use git either, nor any VCS, so it would have to be a manual diff and edit. and that would take too much time. 04:04 chris_n2 hmm... setup a 3.0.0 git repo and simply overwrite the files in the repo with those from your current installation... do many small commits or one big one... the move on to the latest 3.0.x from there... re-install over git... and there you are 04:04 chris_n2 <snap> 04:05 chris_n2 well, maybe not quite that easy, but it could be done with much less pain then manual diffs and patches 04:06 Genji Hmmm... 04:12 chris_n2 wb Amit_laptop 04:13 Amit_laptop heya chris_n2 04:13 chris_n2 ahhh... two Amit's... twice the work being done ;-) 04:17 Amit_laptop chris_n2: no two Amit 04:36 * chris_n2 wonders why there are so many "next" and "click here to continue" buttons in the web installer 04:36 wizzyrea_ because no one looks "below the fold?" 04:37 wizzyrea_ no idea 04:37 wizzyrea_ it gives you a sense of accomplishment to be done after clicking through so much? 04:38 * wizzyrea_ has a purring kitty sitting next to her. poor guy must be cold. 04:40 * chris_n2 's kitty just passed away :-( 04:41 wizzyrea_ oh I'm so sorry. 04:41 chris_n2 she was well over 10 years old 04:41 wizzyrea_ it's hard when furbabies dies 04:41 wizzyrea_ die* 04:41 chris_n2 she and our yellow lab always slept together when it was cold 04:42 * chris_n2 feels no sense of accomplishment after running the web installer for the zillionth time in row and clicking soooo many "next" buttons :-P 04:42 chris_n2 the children took her out and buried her 04:48 wizzyrea_ aww that's so sweet 04:48 wizzyrea_ I will be so sad when our furbabies die 04:48 wizzyrea_ because i know that hubs will not let me get any more 04:49 wizzyrea_ it will take epic whining of spud to get it to happen. 05:06 chris_n2 and here we go again... "next" ad infinitum... 05:17 chris_n2 chris: I've added sample data for the patron card creator to my repo; it should be available sometime after 0700GMT jan 7 05:18 chris_n2 for your testing enjoyment :-) 05:22 chris_n2 ok, its after midnight here and I quit... g'night 07:08 Ropuch 07:17 eiro hello workd 07:17 eiro world, even 07:18 Ropuch Morning #koha 07:43 thd good morning paul_p 07:45 thd paul_p: I have a question about the different datatypes for marc and marcxml in the database. 07:46 thd paul_p: Why do we use longblob for marc and longtext for marcxml in the database? 07:46 paul_p hi thd (not sleeping ?) 07:47 thd no I know that I should be 07:47 paul_p because marc is iso2709 raw format, so a kind of binary, while marcxml is pure text 07:47 thd data types are keeping me awake 07:48 thd paul_p: yet are we not converting all MARC records to UTF-8 before storing them in the database? 07:56 paul_p thd: yes we do. but it has nothing to do with binary or not ! 08:00 thd paul_p: I suppose that we are only using the MARCXML record for parsing. Is that correct? 08:31 hdl_laptop hi chris 09:28 * greenmang0 thinks #koha is attracting cr0wd these days!!! :) 09:35 hdl_laptop hi all 09:36 greenmang0 hi hdl_laptop.. how are you doing?? :) 09:36 hdl_laptop good how are you? 09:37 greenmang0 hdl_laptop: me good too... 09:47 * paul_p head to train station. See you next monday ! 09:47 chris evening 10:07 kf hi #koha 10:10 chris hi kf :) 10:11 kf hi chris :) 10:11 kf first day at work this year 10:11 kf just added our koha library to koha map :) 10:11 chris excellent :) 10:16 Ropuch Hello kf :) 10:18 * chris goes to sleep 10:19 kf hi Ropuch 10:19 kf good night chris :) 10:25 kf Ropuch: happy new year / ein schönes Neues Jahr! 10:28 Ropuch kf:danke, ebenfalls 10:30 Ropuch I've updated my library coords as well so we're visible 10:34 kf will add 2 more libraries on 11th 10:37 Ropuch I have an appointment with a person from Studies for Jewish Language & Culture at our university 10:38 Ropuch About using Koha in their library 10:38 Ropuch And almost sure we'll provide them a free hosting 10:39 Ropuch kf: thanks again for sendingm me the hebrew virtual keyboard :) 10:40 kf Ropuch: did it work for you? 10:41 Ropuch Yup 10:46 kf great :) 10:51 kf Ropuch: I wish you good luck for your appointment! - have you seen the hebrew records in our koha system? 10:51 Ropuch I borwsed through some of them 10:53 kf ah :) still need some improvement, but it works 10:53 Ropuch Yup 10:53 Ropuch I think they gonna love the possibility of having both hebrew and traslitertated version of tiltes/names 10:58 kf we use 880 fields according to marc21 standard 10:58 kf but we copied some fields to 9xx for better indexing - authors in author index, titles in title index etc. 12:50 magnusenger good morning ptfs ;-) 12:50 jdavidb Hi, magnus. :) 12:51 kf hi jdavidb and magnusenger 12:51 jdavidb Howdy, kf! :D 12:52 magnusenger hi kf 12:52 Nate Morning All! 12:52 jwagner Good morning all. 12:52 Nate or afternoon or evening 12:53 kf good morning Nate and jwagner 12:53 jwagner How about good [time period of your choice]? 12:53 kf :) 12:54 magnusenger i think i saw "good TOD" recently, Time Of Day. may sound less good to german ears, though... 12:55 kf yeah, not so nice tod = death 12:56 jwagner But potentially useful at Halloween :-) 12:57 kf :) 12:57 chris_n g'morning 13:00 hdl_laptop hi all 13:02 jwagner Got an XSLT OPAC question for you all, especially BibLibre because I think it may be fixed in the latest version. On a .061 version (roughly October), with XSLT results on, a record with both an 856 URL and an available physical copy only shows the URL in the OPAC results list, not the "copy available at" for the physical copy. 13:02 kf ah, my library told me about this too 13:02 jwagner If the copy is checked out or otherwise unavailable, then the results list shows it. If I remove the URL, then the copy becomes visible. But if there's a URL and the physical status is "available" it doesn't show. 13:03 jwagner I snuck a peek at a new HEAD install, and the same scenario works there -- both the URL and the available copy show. But I couldn't see any difference in the code where it decides what's available. 13:03 jwagner Does someone remember fixing this? 13:05 kf we didn't, so I m happy to hear it will work correctly in 3.2 13:05 jwagner Well, it worked when I duplicated the scenario (imported a record, created a URL and a physical copy). I want to test it with the identical data set where I was having trouble. 13:05 jwagner But thanks for verifying the problem kf -- at least I'm not hallucinating :-) 13:06 jwagner I looked at a system running a slightly earlier codeset, still .061 but maybe 2-4 weeks older, and the display worked properly there. Something must have snuck in later. 13:07 kf jwagner: no you are not, I saw the problem a while back, we have many urls in our opac (enhanced contetn links from union catalog) 13:07 kf but had no time yet to really look for a solution 13:10 jwagner It's definitely XSLT -- when I turn off the XSLT results syspref, the display shows both the URL and the item. 13:26 chipsy have this error any idea:Use of uninitialized value $kohadir in concatenation (.) or string at integration/koha/install-koha.pl line 53.

Using the pulldown to select accession date, then using the calendar gadget to select today. 13:37 chris_n owen: but the forums look dead and things appear to have ground to a halt with the google gears/FF compat problem 13:38 owen That and LibLime lost their lead biblios developer 13:39 chris_n hmmm... imagine that 13:40 * chris_n thinks we need a mechanism to allow devs to quickly switch the db their dev install is running over 13:45 chris_n jwanger: can you verify something for me on the label item search on an affected system? 13:45 jwagner I can try :-) 13:46 chris_n do a search limited only by "Added on or after date" using this date: 8/01/2009 13:46 chris_n let me know what it says 13:47 * chris_n sees some very bad behavior which varies based on the date entered 13:47 jwagner Can't use an undefined value as a HASH reference at /home/nsf/kohaclone/labels/label-item-search.pl line 129. 13:47 jwagner That's with nothing selected in the pulldown, just using the calendar gadget. 13:47 chris_n well, mine behaves a bit better than that... it at least simply returns to the search form rather than throwing an error :-P 13:48 jwagner This is a version 3.01.00.061 from roughly late August to early September, if that helps. 13:49 chris_n jwagner: I will look a bit further, but have a sneaking suspicion that this may be the tip of the iceberg on some fundamental search issues which have been lurking 13:49 * chris_n heads back under for a moment 13:49 jwagner Man the lifeboats! Iceberg ahead!!! 13:50 chris_n no, no... strike up the band and deny reality ;-) 13:50 * owen reading the logs 13:50 owen chris_n: I should get my coffee-loving 3yo together with yours and they can have Coffee Talk. 13:50 chris_n lol :-) 13:51 chris_n they'd probably have some conversation about Jamaican Blue Mountain or some other exotic coffee 13:52 owen You know, coffee, pottys, blocks, no big whoop. 13:52 chris_n jwagner: try 08/01/2009 # note the '0' placeholder here 13:53 jwagner instead of using the gadget? 13:54 chris_n right 13:54 jwagner Same error. 13:54 jwagner By the way, chris_n, how's your son's hand doing? 13:57 * chris_n services a non-maskable interrupt 14:00 chris_n jwagner: he's doing much better now... the finger is beginning to look more recognizable and normal 14:01 chris_n jwagner: other than the issue with a mal-formed date, the search appears to work in the code from the latest HEAD 14:01 jwagner That's good. 14:01 chris_n initially I had a bad bit of data... incorrect accession date in an item record 14:01 jwagner Are there differences in latest head versus the version from a few months ago? 14:02 chris_n om 14:02 chris_n the last change was made on 2009-09-06 14:04 chris_n jwagner: last major changes were made my myself with the labels code re-write 14:05 jwagner Hmm. I'll have to check the date on these systems to see if the 9/6 change might be in there. Do you have it as a separate patch? 14:06 chris_n 61 is after that point, so your running the latest labels code in that regard 14:06 owen Wow, when the Google street view trucks have made it to Chauncey OH they've really reached the bottom of their list 14:06 owen http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=29+converse+st.+chauncey+oh&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=37.410045,74.003906&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=29+Converse+St,+Chauncey,+Athens,+Ohio+45719&ll=39.399177,-82.128924&spn=0.00223,0.004517&z=18&iwloc=lyrftr:m,16191321876958202189,39.39984,-82.12894&layer=c&cbll=39.399274,-82.128922&panoid=YTZkBpU3IufGETmpubxNvA&cbp=12,128.02,,0,-8.79 14:06 chris_n jwagner: does your search always throw the same error? 14:07 chris_n or does it ever return a result set? 14:07 chris_n owen: some library facility there, eh 14:07 jwagner Not sure about all searches, but I just tried a title search & got the same error. 14:08 chris_n hmm... any additional info in the log? 14:08 owen chris_n: That's where Koha's original NPL templates were born :) 14:09 owen ...And where we reviewed paul_p's answer to the RFP for MARC support for Koha 14:09 jwagner chris_n, nothing in the error log beyond the above error message. 14:09 jwagner This system is from earlier than 9/6 according to the all-knowing jdavidb :-) 14:10 chris_n interesting... a title search on 'Contemporary' returns 59 results of which only the first three have the word in the title 14:10 * jdavidb snorts. 14:10 jdavidb If I was "all-knowing", you wouldn't be having this problem. I'd have already solved it for you. 14:11 jwagner Only if you were also all-inclined-to :-) 14:11 * jdavidb clearly isn't all-knowing today; spent twenty minutes trying to figure out why he couldn't pull a repo from github, only to realize he'd spelled the repo name incorrectly. 14:11 chris_n jwagner: you could try grabbing http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=Koha;a=blob_plain;f=labels/label-item-search.pl;hb=HEAD and its associated template 14:12 chris_n and then drop them in over the existing files on your install 14:12 chris_n and see if that helps 14:12 chris_n the patches contain changes in multiple files, so I'm not sure they will apply nicely 14:14 jwagner I'll talk to jdavidb about that, chris_n -- we may try it on their test server. Thanks. 14:16 chris_n jwagner: if that works for you then you could create a set of patches from your test server and apply them to the production box 14:17 owen If anyone's spending their day sifting through lib-web-cats, this is useful: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2403/google_maps_get_latitude_longitude_values/ 14:17 * chris_n uses that tip often :-) 14:19 jwagner chris_n, the URL brought down a .pl file -- how to get the template(s)? 14:22 chris_n http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=Koha;a=blob_plain;f=koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/labels/result.tmpl;hb=HEAD 14:22 chris_n http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=Koha;a=blob_plain;f=koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/labels/search.tmpl;hb=HEAD 14:22 chris_n you'll need both 14:23 jwagner Thanks! 14:23 chris_n jwanger: I'm not sure that this will maintain the integrity of your label code on the test server 14:23 chris_n but it should allow you to test the search 14:24 chris_n assuming you are using git, you can just 'git reset --hard HEAD' to get back out of the changes if things break badly 14:24 jwagner We're not too worried about the code itself -- set up a new branch, if it fails, go back to the old one. 14:24 chris_n right 14:24 chris_n just a full-disclosure on my part :-) 14:25 chris_n but if your at version 61, I'm surprised you don't have these changes already 14:26 chris_n but then I often am surprised by what upgrades do to my own dev server 14:28 chris_n owen: interesting bit of history about the NPL templates... seems it should be included somewhere in the annals of Koha history 14:30 chris_n bbiab 14:30 chipsy how can i locate my koha cgi dir? 14:34 hdl_laptop less koha-conf.xml 14:34 hdl_laptop intranetcgi 14:39 chipsy cant find intranetcgi there 14:40 chipsy i'm using dev 14:42 hdl_laptop intranetdir is your intranetcgi 14:44 chipsy and which one is kohadir 15:38 ccurry hello, all. In the final stages of our Koha implementation and I'm trying to sort out the bib/auth linking. Can someone direct me to documentation describing what the link_bibs_to_authorities.pl script is looking for when it checks bibs (if it exists)? I loaded 1 record and one of it's associated authority records into my catalog and the script checks the bib, but doesn't modify it. No... 15:38 ccurry ...errors are reported. I'm no expert on authority control, so I'm not sure if our old catalog created bad records or there is some further configuration that needs to be done in order to get the script to work for our records. I found this thread on this list, which may point to the latter: http://lists.koha.org/pipermail/koha-devel/2008-May/007629.html. Any help is appreciated. 15:39 ccurry its* 15:40 kf ccurry: we import authority and bibliographic data already linked by id numbers, so we dont use the script, I think it should add the id number of the auth record to $9 in bib? 15:42 ccurry By "id numbers" do you mean 005 control numbers? 15:43 ccurry $9 of which field? 15:49 kf in bib for example 100 $9 for an author 15:49 kf im not sure about the authority, I think koha generates his own numbers - pk in db table 15:50 kf according to marc21 it should be in 001 of the authority file afaik 15:51 kf we import authority data so that the number in $9 matches the pk of the authority in the database, so no need for the linking script 15:53 ccurry kf:How do you go about inserting the $9s in the bibs? It seems like the script would be easier (if I knew what I was doing). 15:54 kf we get our data from our union catalog, we use a little script to switch the identity number from $0 to $9 and it works nice with koha 16:04 kf sorry, need to leave now 16:05 ccurry thanks kf 16:05 chris_n hdl_laptop: will you provide me with a French translation of "Limit images stored in the database by the Patron Card image manager to this number."? 16:06 hdl_laptop is it the number or the weight of images ? 16:07 hdl_laptop 'Limiter la taille des images stockées en base pour la photo Lecteur à cette taille.' 16:08 hdl_laptop I assume it is the weight (size in Mo) 16:11 chris_n hdl_laptop: number == quantity 16:11 moodaepo @wunder 56001 16:11 chris_n not size as in bytes or filesize 16:11 munin moodaepo: The current temperature in South on Monks, Mankato, Minnesota is -13.0�C (10:08 AM CST on January 07, 2010).

As a consortium type multi branch library someone put all of our schools in but it wasn't us so there are 67 that will NEVER get location updates 17:48 owen Those locations are locked? 17:48 schuster Not sure what you mean by Locked? 17:49 owen schuster: Can you not log in and edit them yourself? 17:54 schuster I can edit it but what should I be editing? 17:54 schuster wizzyrea do you have all your libraries listed or just the consortium? 17:55 schuster OK so I found the edit and the "closed" option so what does that do to the entry? 17:55 schuster Thanks for the tip owen 17:57 owen schuster where do you see the "closed" option? 17:57 owen Oh, under Edit -> Status? 17:59 schuster Got it now I guess I have to do that for all 67 locations! 18:02 wizzyrea i think all, that blob of libraries would be much smaller if we only listed NExpress 18:03 owen Yeah, Texas is big, needs lots of spots on the map! ;) 18:03 schuster Oh it makes sense for individual libraries just wondering about consortium types. Several of the school librarians called me asking if they needed to fill out this survey on the automation business. 18:04 schuster Someone had actually put the principal and the librarian emails into libwebcats so they were being contacted about his annual survey. 18:04 schuster I don't want to fill out the survey 67 times either... 18:09 sekjal hmmm, my 6 of my 9 locations are listed separately in libwebcats, but we're considered one library.... what to do? 18:20 schuster it's that survey that concerns me.. I can see a librarian at a school submit some really nasty stuff that they don't like Koha but they really don't get much of a choice. 18:32 chris http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1240988/France-tops-list-best-places-live-world-fifth-year-row--Britain-languishes-25th.html 18:34 chris i vote we all go work for biblibre :-) 18:38 chris and now i must go catch the 5th best bus :) bbl 18:44 * chris_n runs out to get a plane ticket to France :-) 19:28 richard hi 19:39 chris_n hi richard 19:39 richard hi chris_n 19:39 chris_n and nicomo 19:39 richard and nicomo :) 19:39 nicomo hi chris_n 19:43 chris back 19:53 chris down to 302 libraries without coordinates, was 411 this time yesterday :) 19:59 schuster It will drop another 64 tonight when I have a chance to close all my schools! 19:59 schuster Leaving just one location 20:01 chris :-) yeah that makes sense 20:08 chris_n owen: if I reference an image in the 'img' dir from withing an include file in the 'includes' dir... what is the correct pathing? 20:08 chris_n ../../image.gif is what I thought 20:08 chris_n but it does not seem to work 20:08 chris_n nor does any of several variations :-( 20:09 owen /intranet-tmpl/prog/img/ 20:10 chris_n owen++ 20:10 chris_n works like a charm 20:10 chris_n so basically absolute pathing from the document root is the rule? 20:11 owen Well let's see, other places in the templates use <!-- TMPL_VAR Name="themelang" -->/img/ 20:12 owen Does that work as well? 20:13 chris_n this is a reference in an inline style 20:13 chris_n om I'll try 20:14 chris_n owen: no since the 'en' and 'img' dir are on the same level 20:15 chris_n and the template var ends up rendering as: url(/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/img/alert-bg.gif) 20:15 chris_n rather than url(/intranet-tmpl/prog/img/alert-bg.gif) 20:15 owen Yeah, that's right, which is what we used to do 20:15 owen But then we moved the img dir out of the lang dir 20:15 chris_n but maybe <!-- TMPL_VAR Name="themelang" -->/../img/ 20:16 chris_n yes this ^^ seems to work 20:16 chris yeah there should be different types of images 20:16 chris_n is that a better approach rather than hardcoding the themelang path? 20:16 chris those which are language dependent 20:16 chris and those which arent 20:17 chris ie a blue image can be safely shared 20:17 owen We should really have a "theme" variable to go along with "themelang" for such occasions 20:17 chris_n hmmm... the 'en' dir does not have a 'img' subdir 20:17 chris an image that contains the word blue .. .not so much 20:17 * chris_n wonders if the image language distinction is maintained in the current directory structure? 20:19 owen chris_n: do you mean does the current set of images really avoid any language references? 20:20 chris_n no; rather that the current directory structure does not allow for the distinction to be made 20:20 chris_n I think some of the itemtypeimg images may violate the distinction already 20:20 owen True 20:21 owen But at least those are user-configurable 20:21 owen I think the only significant exception is the staff client login logo 20:21 chris_n chris: maybe we should add this to the list for the 3.4 cleanup 20:22 chris_n or are those subdirs generated when one runs the translation install routine? 20:22 chris pass 20:22 chris lets put it on the list so that we at least confirm what its doing 20:47 schuster Ok I do have a question after battling getting koha installed again on this laptop. 20:48 schuster I have discovered that the instructions for installation are really good that are in the GIT pull in the Kohaclone directory. Is there a reason that those instructions for the different versions and flavors of unix are not posted on the wiki? 20:50 chris only because no one posed them 20:50 chris those same instructions are in the releases too 20:50 chris its expected that people read the INSTALL file before trying to isntall, but that may be a false expectation 20:51 schuster And how would one get the Install? 20:53 schuster There are these things it talks about doing on the instructions like how to setup debian to do the git etc... and then you git blah.... but they never refer to the instructions that are found in the Kohaclone directory. I stumbled upon those last year when I was installing Koha. 20:53 schuster Just me talking out loud - you said you liked people who did that I think....:) 20:54 chris its in the release 20:54 chris you download the release 20:54 chris unpack it, and read it 20:55 chris then you could go .. oh ill want to run from git instead of a stable release, cos im braze/crazy 20:55 chris :) 20:55 chris generally the assumption is if you want to run from unstable code, you are savvy enough to figure it out, which again may be a false assumption 20:58 * chris_n sure would feel better drinking java rather than writing in it :-) 20:59 schuster OK but noplace does it say where to find these directions or that there are directions. This is as close as I have found - http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=debian_lenny_installation 21:00 chris yep, its an assumption that when peopel download the software, the read the INSTALL file that comes with it 21:00 chris theres no harm in documenting that elsewhere too though 21:01 schuster Just speaking as a librarian interested in running Koha - I think this was my biggest stumbling block was there are no directions to look at telling me where things are. Read... What you mean I can't just load it an it will work? 21:02 chris there are directions, you just didnt know where they were :-) 21:02 schuster I've pondered doing it on the wiki, but hesitated wanted to get other peoples thoughts. It would be very easy under each version to put a copy of the documents there for people to look over BEFORE they download it. 21:02 chris they used to be on the koha.org site 21:02 chris along with the download link 21:02 chris but lets not go there 21:02 schuster That is true... I stumbled upon them late one night when I got frustrated and started looking at files. 21:02 schuster yes let's not as they are not there any longer. 21:03 chris and no way to put them back, so the wiki seems the next best place 21:03 schuster I realized last night that there were new directions for Lenny in the kohaclone directory and what needed to be done with the apt-get setup... Much easier than the old directions I was following! 21:04 schuster At least when people are trying to install you could refer them to a page and ask if they have read it. 21:04 schuster or should I say the correct instructions. 21:04 chris *nod* 21:05 chris_n @wunder 28334 21:05 munin chris_n: The current temperature in Dunn, North Carolina is 8.9�C (4:01 PM EST on January 07, 2010).

Winter Weather Advisory in effect from 9 PM this evening to 9 am EST Friday... 21:06 schuster OK I'll work on the 3.0 instructions to the wiki. I know that Nicole and Owen had some dependancies that they had to add after their installs where those ever included in the directions? 21:06 schuster seems something about snowball? and??? 21:06 schuster @wunder 75074 21:06 munin schuster: The current temperature in Brookview, Plano, Texas is -0.5�C (3:00 PM CST on January 07, 2010).

"Wish you could too. Bummer. Know anyone else who has done it successfully?" 21:26 chris mason will have the skills to do it 21:27 chris and is in wellington too 21:27 chris not sure how busy he is 21:27 * Genji nods. "Under $300 USD, and the jobs basically his. Rather trust someone im familiar with than someone who just has a few posts on koha-dev under their name." 21:28 chris yep, mason has been round a while, ex katipod like me 21:29 Genji How come you didn't go back to Katipo? 21:29 chris a few reasons, none of them really anything to do with katipo 21:29 Genji Eh.. probably not my place to ask anyway..... Anyway, $300 USD too much for a install? 21:30 chris the main one being i wanted to work in an office, with young kids 21:30 chris you cant get any work done at home 21:30 chris also catalyst is a lot bigger and i wanted to try my hand at that also 21:30 * Genji nods. "Agreed. one of the reasons why I live alone now." 21:30 chris i would still recommend katipo as an employer to anyone though 21:30 chris they treated me very well 21:31 * Genji nods. "I would apply, but I think I still need alot more learning before Im ready." 21:31 Genji Can't even install koha 3.0 RC1 on debian 5, yet. Im just hitting brick walls. 21:32 chris pm'd ya with masons email 21:35 Genji yup. got it. 21:35 Genji so, $300 usd too much for just an install? 21:36 Genji Seems abit high to me... but im not that experienced to get top dollar anyway. 21:38 Genji Yes? no? 22:00 masonj heya genji 22:01 brendan looks like you scared him away masonj 22:02 masonj lol, prolly a network blip... 22:03 masonj i wa going to reply today , on the lists - as i'm curious about a hostgator koha 22:03 masonj i had a hostgator account bout 1 year ago, recommended by chris.c 22:04 masonj and we (chris and i ) had some gotchas with installing stuff 22:06 masonj from memory, the the zebra and yaz setup was the show stopper 22:08 masonj things may have changed since then.. 22:16 masonj . 22:18 masonj i was using a 'baby-croc?' HG option tho, which was some restricted chrooted shell thing 22:18 chilts I think all shared hosting is a chrooted shell 22:18 chilts same on A2Hosting 22:19 masonj right, and bluehost etc... 22:19 chilts ah Bluehost was the one I was trying to remember earlier :) 22:19 chilts (completely separate topic) 22:20 masonj sounds like genji has some xen-VM option from HG 22:21 chilts yeah, HG just started doing VPSs late last year 22:22 masonj i recently did a koha3 install on a rackspace xen-VM, was pretty straight-forward 22:23 hdl_laptop good night folks 22:23 chilts I guess you get full control there having root 22:23 brendan night hdl_laptop 22:24 masonj night hdl 22:31 moodaepo @wunder 56001 22:31 munin moodaepo: The current temperature in South on Monks, Mankato, Minnesota is -16.6�C (4:28 PM CST on January 07, 2010).
