20:37 mgcleveland_ what about in 3.0.x? 20:37 mgcleveland_ btw, we also have a weird theme, so everything is hard to find 20:37 * wizzyrea does not know 2.2.9 20:37 mgcleveland_ is there anywhere in the source code/DB where I can see which version I have? 20:37 mgcleveland_ hahaha 20:37 wizzyrea that's just a recipe for wierdness if I've ever heard one 20:36 wizzyrea well... you have a weird problem, and an even wierder code congruency on possibly completely different versions 20:36 mgcleveland_ and I can't find it anywhere! 20:36 mgcleveland_ i just don't know which version the production instance is!~ 20:36 mgcleveland_ I'm sure I have the addbiblio.pl of the correct instance 20:35 chris_n I find it highly unlikely that the two would be the same 20:35 chris_n what she said 20:35 mgcleveland_ hahaha 20:35 wizzyrea maybe the revelation is that addbiblio.pl needs to be reverted to a 2.2.9 version 20:35 * chris_n thinks his genes are copyrighted in any case ;-) 20:34 mgcleveland_ (no revelation) 20:34 mgcleveland_ aaahh! 20:34 mgcleveland_ and I diffed that with my production instance and they were the same 20:34 mgcleveland_ yeah it is 20:34 wizzyrea hard to say without knowing for sure 20:33 mgcleveland_ because I think my working instance is 3.0.x 20:33 mgcleveland_ that's weird 20:33 mgcleveland_ hmmm 20:33 wizzyrea i'm guessing no 20:33 mgcleveland_ would addbiblio.pl be the same code in 3.0.x and 2.2.x? 20:33 wizzyrea yes? 20:33 mgcleveland_ hey wizzy 20:33 chris thats freaking awesome, GNU/Linux saved (most) of the human genome from gene patents 20:32 owen chris_n: I'm not exactly sure what they do, but they're related to googleindictransliteration.js 20:32 wizzyrea I don't believe it but eh 20:32 wizzyrea an aura that makes computers behave in my presence, that is. 20:31 wizzyrea I didn't know it worked over the internet too. 20:31 wizzyrea my coworkers claim I have an aura... 20:31 chris jim kent, saved us from the human genes being patented ... free software ftw 20:30 chris_n wizzyrea: that must have worked, 'cause it just dropped into place ;-) 20:29 chris_n owen: what are the 'translControl' div's ? 20:24 wizzyrea me me oh me 20:24 chris if anyone wants to listen to glynn explain why sharing is so important 20:24 jwagner owen, it depends on the size of the baseball bat (or other implement) you use to DO the smacking :-) 20:23 chris http://www.lca2010.org.nz/programme/schedule/video/mfc 20:23 owen If only smacking it helped. 20:23 * wizzyrea smacks chris_n's CSS into submission. Get! In! Your!

Just updating some personal pictures & docs, and auto-logged on irc ;-) 20:10 mgcleveland_ wizzyrea, I can add patrons 20:09 jwagner paul_p, what are you doing online this late?

Others at the site called me to pick up the telecon! 19:47 mgcleveland_ this leads me to believe it's a config or DB problem 19:47 mgcleveland_ it works on other instances of Koha I have and the files, when diffed, are identical 19:47 mgcleveland_ In a nutshell, my addbiblio.pl page is not working 19:46 mgcleveland_ will do 19:46 wizzyrea but yes, I remember :) 19:46 wizzyrea for their benefit 19:46 wizzyrea again 19:46 wizzyrea there are more people around now, you might go over your issue 19:46 mgcleveland_ do you remember what we were talking about? 19:46 mgcleveland_ ok I'm back 19:46 wizzyrea yep 19:46 mgcleveland_ wizzyrea_ you still there? 19:45 owen Needs a wider discussion 19:44 wizzyrea_ fix/change 19:44 wizzyrea_ i'm willing to try to fix it myself, but don't want to do anything that would make people upset 19:44 wizzyrea_ I know it's not a priority 19:44 wizzyrea_ i'm more just curious if anyone else has an opinion on how it can be made better 19:43 wizzyrea_ 1-2 lines instead of 6 19:43 wizzyrea_ etc 19:43 wizzyrea_ Basehor, Due XXX 19:42 wizzyrea_ on loan: Baldwin, Due 01/28/2010 19:42 wizzyrea_ so, as an example 19:42 wizzyrea_ so axe that 19:42 wizzyrea_ oh and you've got shelving location in there too 19:41 wizzyrea_ yes, thsi is the staff side 19:41 wizzyrea_ to find out the dilly 19:41 wizzyrea_ but for checked out or lost items... just as well to go to the bib detail 19:41 wizzyrea_ I think that for AVAILABLE items it doesn't hurt to show a lot of info 19:41 wizzyrea_ well I was wondering about that too 19:40 jwagner wizzyrea, this is staff side, correct? Is there any value to even showing the call numbers at this stage? Maybe just a Library A (7 copies), Library B (2 copies) etc. 19:40 wizzyrea_ true, but what if you 1. used the library short name instead of full name, 2. removed the call number 3. changed date due: to Due only for on loan items 19:39 richard hi 19:39 owen ...not that that buys you much space 19:38 wizzyrea_ it's out, you're not going to find it 19:38 wizzyrea_ why does it show the call number for checked out items, for example 19:38 jwagner chris_n, you had to do that, didn't you :-( 19:38 wizzyrea_ well, it shows several things that it may not need to 19:38 munin chris_n: The operation succeeded. Quote #51 added. 19:38 chris_n @quote add jwagner thinks true joy is not wanting to do a telecon, and finding out the other person has forgotten about it & left for the day :-) 19:37 jwagner I'm not owen, but I think it would be better if the items list was just another line after the bib display instead of in a separate column. That would give it a much wider table cell to run across. 19:37 owen Not that I know of 19:37 wizzyrea_ or maybe that's fixed in more recent versions 19:37 owen To say the least 19:37 wizzyrea_ on bibs that have lots of items, the results list is very... icky 19:37 wizzyrea_ the items display is what I'm referring to 19:36 jwagner That just made my afternoon! 19:36 wizzyrea_ http://screencast.com/t/M2RlNTY0 19:36 wizzyrea_ owen: what do you think about the following screenshot, how can we make this display better 19:35 gmcharlt jwagner++ 19:35 * jwagner thinks true joy is not wanting to do a telecon, and finding out the other person has forgotten about it & left for the day :-) 19:10 * chris_n applauds 19:09 wizzyrea_ :) 19:09 wizzyrea_ there. I'm done. 19:09 wizzyrea_ he is, and we are, committed to the principles of free software, and we have every interest in seeing Koha succeed. 19:08 wizzyrea_ yea, he's my boss, but he's not a nub. 19:08 wizzyrea_ *helped to set up 19:07 wizzyrea_ and you all don't know this, but he's set up several non profit foundations in his career 19:07 wizzyrea_ and by "sure" I know that he knows about the HLT/Official Foundation situation, more importantly comprehends the importance of that effort, and even more importantly respects that there is a need for it 19:05 wizzyrea_ heh, yea 19:05 chris_n the community is a bit sensitive atm 19:05 * wizzyrea_ shudders 19:05 wizzyrea_ and "foundation" 19:05 wizzyrea_ he said the magic word "trademark" 19:04 * chris_n has had that happen before too 19:04 wizzyrea_ jim's grown, he can take it, though I'm sure that he didn't actually mean it in the way it's being read 19:03 wizzyrea_ heh 19:01 chris_n perhaps /me should have read the buffer first :-) 19:00 * chris_n takes a deep breath and presses the 'send' button 18:51 wizzyrea_ gl with the bus 18:50 chris ok bus time 18:36 chris even 18:36 chris sekjal++ 18:36 chris sekjal+++ 18:35 sekjal email sent. time for a meeting. bbl 18:33 chris hiya Ropuch 18:33 Ropuch Evening #koha 18:32 wizzyrea_ rather, a non profit 501c3 agency 18:31 chris its always easier to stop arguments before they start :) 18:31 chris thanks sekjal 18:31 sekjal that's easy enough to fix... one sec 18:30 chris cool, now anyone who reads the irc logs knows that, but anyone who reads the mailing list could be confused into thinking KUDOS is the foundation 18:30 wizzyrea_ and in order to do them, you must have the foundation 18:30 wizzyrea_ he's an administrator, he is simply referring to the things a foundation *can* do 18:30 sekjal we have never mentioned trademarks at all in any of the discussions I've been in on 18:29 wizzyrea_ KUDOS doesn't have any interest that I know of to register any trademarks regarding koha 18:29 chris ppl need to be more careful with words is all im saying 18:28 wizzyrea_ more along the lines of "get a move on and get it done" 18:28 wizzyrea_ he's in agreement 18:28 wizzyrea_ don't read too much into it 18:27 wizzyrea_ do 18:27 wizzyrea_ erm... I think that was a list of things that a foundation could (but KUDOS won't, necessarily) 18:27 chris wizzyrea_: you might need to have a chat with your boss, i fear in order to move things along he is gonna start another set of worries 18:26 chris register trademarks?????? 18:24 jwagner OK. 18:20 gmcharlt the dev can also take a gander at the biblibre 3.2_community branch 18:20 jwagner OK, I'll tell him.

I'll look into this... I don't have control of the windows box only access to pull/copy from so will have to play with it. 16:08 wizzyrea haha 16:08 chris_n or at least get stuck in the same rut 16:08 chris_n great minds think alike they say ;-) 16:08 wizzyrea yes, that's what I was thinking of 16:07 chris_n rsync will only pickup on the file changes as well (if you like) which will reduce the load on the network after the initial replication 16:07 wizzyrea that has other benefits too, right? Like, he might not have to do all 53k? 16:07 chris_n schuster: you can setup rsync on your koha box and deltacopy on your win32 box and away you go 16:06 wizzyrea I frankly can't stand to look at it anymore >.> 16:05 wizzyrea LOL 16:05 chris_n wizzyrea: I like to see windows in a vbox frame inside of my gnome interface 16:05 chris_n but rsync is probably the thing here 16:05 wizzyrea are you the king of shoehorning windows in to unix shoes? 16:05 chris_n schuster: you can do a share if you use samba 16:04 chris_n I use it to sync my main webradio broadcast server with the warm-standby box 16:04 wizzyrea chris_n 16:04 wizzyrea oh sweet, had no idea, thanks chris 16:03 wizzyrea I didn't realize there was a windows version ^.^ 16:03 chris_n http://www.aboutmyip.com/AboutMyXApp/DeltaCopy.jsp 16:03 chris_n you can still rsync 16:00 wizzyrea it's too bad it's a windows server, you could rsync 15:58 schuster sorry I was somewhat brief here in my description. 15:57 wizzyrea Ah, sorry I didn't look at my list mail 15:57 schuster If there are problems with pictures the librarian lets me know and I inform the powers that be to adjust the photo names etc... to make them match correctly. We use the photos with the grade book program, and lunchline. 15:56 schuster hence the reason for loading ALL of them. 15:56 schuster There are files put on a share for several departments to use of pictures of all the kids. I never know when they get put there, and the dates on the files are the dates they are taken by the photographer 15:55 owen wizzyrea: Looks like he put more details into a message to koha-devel 15:54 wizzyrea or... something else 15:54 wizzyrea schuster: maybe I'm not understanding your need, you have 53k photos and you can only move X with scp, so you're thinking of moving batches of them? Or you have 53k photos that you need to add every week 15:49 wizzyrea hm, why do you have to add all 53k of them every week? 15:38 schuster Thoughts suggestions? I'm a librarian here remember that when you respond. thanks.... 15:37 schuster then at the end of the cron would be the script I have to mass add them. 15:37 schuster I tried to scp them in, but guess what there are limitations, so I'm thinking of setting up a cron job to setup the fileshare on the windows box, and then issue a set of scp commands once a week in the middle of the night to copy them over. 15:36 schuster ok new question for the techies. I may also post it to the koha-devel list for responses. I have 53,000 pictures of students on a remote server. 15:10 schuster When searching what is displayed on the bib screen is the copyrightdate field so in the example above 2010, then 2009 not the full MARC representation. 15:08 schuster I just did some further testing and biblios.copyrightdate - scrubs everything except the first set of numbers. ie 2010, [p2009] in copyrightdate shows 2010, with [p2009], 2010 shows 2009... 15:07 schuster magic - kinda like owen the wizard with css ;) 15:07 owen That's what I like about git: I can get stuff done with it, and people smarter than me can do magic with it. 15:06 schuster chris - just went through the git presentation - it is powerful - glad you understand it!!! 14:56 schuster I just ran a test. 14:56 schuster interesting regarding the 008 - biblios.copyrightdate comes from the 260c though in the database NOT the 008. 14:54 oceb perl is... powerfull but... some complicated to beginners :D Php is friendly with beginners :) Anyway im happy with koha and my newbie-knowledge of perl 14:52 oceb hdl_laptop : yeah.... when i come here, i have no idea of what is perl :S 14:51 schuster Question to the list - has anyone else seen this? http://bagno.be/localcovers.html - would it still work? 14:51 hdl_laptop schuster++ 14:51 chris_n bye chris_n2 14:50 schuster MarcEdit again might be able to help in that job... I know I've used it's find x and place it in y feature several times. Don't know how it would work on a leader/008 field. 14:49 hdl_laptop learning PERL with koha is a hard school 14:49 hdl_laptop oceb: :'( 14:40 oceb but I am learning Perl little by little with koha :D 14:39 oceb here in my library we have some code written in php to modifiy both marc and marcxml 14:38 oceb not everithing is perl :) 14:38 oceb wow 14:32 jwagner Thanks. I have a site that's getting data converted by Marcive right now -- a timely reminder to send them to make sure that's getting filled in. 14:32 owen Yes 14:32 jwagner owen, you're talking about the 008 positions 7-10 for the pubyear, correct? 14:28 Ropuch This means some perl exercisies ;> 14:27 Ropuch Hm, I need to fix 008 with dates from 260c too 14:27 owen Sure thing schuster, I know you'd asked me about it before and I'm glad you pestered me about it 14:27 schuster Owen - I want to thank you again for your help last week.. I'm really excited about the possibilities, now I just have to do something with it! 14:26 schuster shame on that box... ;) 14:26 * chris_n heads off to fix a naughty win32 box 14:24 schuster so it is pulling the date from the 008 - do you know is that how it got the information for the biblio.copyrightdate as well? 14:24 * owen thinks we had to do the same thing at one point, but it wasn't me that did it 14:22 owen oceb: sounds like a job for a Perl guru 14:20 oceb now i need to put all dates from 260c to 008 =( 14:19 oceb thanks owen :) 14:19 oceb it works! 14:19 oceb omg 14:09 oceb i'll test one, im putting a date on a book and now im reindexing 14:09 oceb i think 99% of my books doesn't have a date in 008 >.< 14:08 schuster where that is being derived from and scrubbed to a single number. I have not compared that, but will take a look. 14:08 oceb omg 14:08 oceb =o 14:08 schuster I can't verify but from my experience with Bib dates so far depending I suspect it is coming from the biblio.copyrightdate or biblioitems, but I'm not sure 14:06 owen I thought the pub date search worked with 008 because of that. 14:06 owen 260c can contain non-numeric data, so you can't ask a computer to do numeric comparisons on it without attempting to sanitize it. 14:04 oceb I thought that search was on the field 260c 14:03 oceb =O 14:02 owen oceb: I thought the publication date range search *did* search on the date in 008, but I'm hoping someone else here can tell me if that's correct 14:01 oceb how i can do a date search on 008 ? 14:01 oceb uhmmm 14:00 owen Maybe someone else here can verify: Does the publication date search work by looking at 008? 13:59 oceb yeah 13:59 owen I assume other searches are working okay? 13:59 oceb but without a date, it returns... 13:59 oceb when i put a date p.e. "1998" or "-2009" or "1997-" it doesn't return results 13:58 oceb exactly! :D 13:57 owen Are you referring to the "publication date range" option? 13:52 oceb 3.0.5 13:52 owen oceb: What version of Koha? 13:51 oceb never return results =/ 13:51 owen oceb: Does it return no results, or incorrect results? 13:51 oceb do you know why advanced search with Date of publication, distribution (260c) isn't workin on opac? 13:49 oceb hi owen 13:44 owen Hi oceb 13:41 oceb morning 13:29 hdl_laptop good morning 13:24 * jwagner makes an indistinct mumble resembling "good morning" 13:21 chris_n g'morning 10:52 Amit hi hdl_laptop same to u 10:51 chilts yeah, gonna alias 'git tree' to 'git log --decorate --graph --pretty=oneline' (I have v1.6.0.4 unfortunately, --pretty=oneline === --oneline) 10:38 hdl_laptop happy new year Amit 10:28 Amit hi masonj happy new year to you too 10:24 chris their too 10:24 chris yeah was a good talk, from someone who really knows there stuff 10:23 masonj nice pdf layout and graphics 10:19 chris more at http://bit.ly/git-wrangling 10:18 chris one of the tips i learnt today 10:14 magnus nice 10:13 chris paul_p: try git log --decorate --graph --oneline 10:13 chris heya paul_p 10:12 magnus and masonj 10:12 masonj and magnus :) 10:12 magnus hello paul_p et al 10:12 masonj hiya paul 10:11 paul_p hello masonj, magnus, chris & al 10:09 masonj hi Amit too , happy new year 10:09 chris cool :) you were mentioned in the blog post 10:06 masonj i just got back from band-practice... 10:06 masonj heya 10:04 chris so may be incoherent 10:04 * chris has just got back from drinking with some git developers 10:04 chris its a great blog post 09:51 magnus jo++ # http://library-matters.blogspot.com/2010/01/users-vs-developers-not-in-my-universe.html 07:26 nicomo hi Amit 07:25 Amit heya nicomo, Ropuch, imp 07:24 imp moin 07:06 Ropuch Morning #koha 06:16 richard how's things going? 06:16 richard hiya Amit 06:16 Amit heya richard 04:35 chris_n2 g'night #koha 04:07 munin Amit: The current temperature in Bangalore, India is 19.0�C (8:30 AM IST on January 20, 2010).
