Conditions: Clear. Humidity: 70%. Dew Point: 1.0�C. Windchill: 4.0�C. Pressure: 30.39 in 1029 hPa (Steady). 08:35 paul_p hello world ! 08:38 chris hi paul_p 08:39 Amit_G hi paul_p, chris 08:40 chris hi Amit_G 08:41 paul_p chris: do you think France will get the "big chelem" this year ? I think so. Just 1 match against UK, that have nothing to win, except having France not doing "big chelem" 08:41 chris :) yeah they are the better team 08:41 chris so i think they will 08:43 * paul_p think so (and M. Bastareaud is back for this match ;-) ) 08:44 * paul_p still has no idea about what happened in NZ though... we don't speak of that anymore here. And when someone ask the trainer or a player, he get "stop asking, we have more important things to deal with, like next match" 08:44 chris :) 08:45 chris ahhh, yeah he drank to much and fell over 08:46 chris then made up a story about being beaten up because he was embarassed 08:47 chris (the hotel security footage showed him returning to his room unhurt) 08:57 nicomo_laptop hi guys, that's not basketball you're talking about, right? 08:57 nicomo_laptop paul_p: they don't know basketball in Marseille, do they? 09:02 paul_p nicomo_laptop, we don't know Rugby in Marseille either. But i'm from Beziers, the city that ruled the french Rugby when I was young ;-) 09:03 nicomo_laptop Ah, and doesn't not anymore, right? Sad. 09:03 nicomo_laptop uh, bad english 09:03 paul_p nicomo_laptop, right. they are in 2nd or 3rd league nowadays :( 09:04 nicomo_laptop really? That far down the rankings? yuk 09:04 paul_p 3rd :''''(((( 09:15 jransom hiya all 09:15 Amit_G hiya jransom 09:16 jransom Amit: do you know who is the Release maintainer of stable release? 09:17 chris its hdl_laptop jransom 09:17 paul_p hi jransom 09:17 jransom hiya 09:17 hdl_laptop jransom: hi 09:17 chris http://koha-community.org/about/release-teams/ 09:17 hdl_laptop Yes ? 09:17 jransom hi hi 09:17 hdl_laptop congrats 09:18 hdl_laptop (Movers & Shakers) 09:18 jransom just getting an email out for the koha subcommittee of HLT 09:18 jransom thank you (blushes) 09:19 jransom So this looks like the team: 09:19 jransom HLT Rep: George Sue, Kaitiaki - Rachel Hamilton-Williams Release Manager 3.2: Galen Charlton Release maintainer of stable release: Henri-Damien Laurent Translation Manager: Chris Cormack HLT Head of Libraries: Joann Ransom 09:19 jransom plus 1 position to be appointed / coopted 09:19 jransom wondering about Rachel and the Kaitiaki position and juggling babies etc 09:20 chris yeah, i think we can say that its currently vacant 09:20 jransom so we do need to have an election fr that position then 09:20 chris well the committee kinda is the kaitiaki now 09:20 jransom how do we do that (due process and all) 09:20 paul_p jransom, and before the election, we should well define the purpose of this position. 09:20 jransom nods 09:21 chris im not sure the position needs to exist now we have the subcommittee 09:21 paul_p couldn't the HLT head of library be considered as kaitiaki ? 09:22 joann I think that would give me 2 votes :) 09:23 chris i cant remember, the committee changes when the positions change eh? (when 3.2.0 is released) 09:23 joann suggest that as Rach is officially still kaitiaki, we wait for her resignation and then refill that position 09:23 joann yes 09:23 chris yeah, that will work 09:25 joann sorry 09:25 joann web based mibbit and a dodgy connection not a good combo 09:25 chris yeah 09:25 joann rules here: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:organisations:koha_project_organisation:hlt:rules 09:26 chris i think wait for resignation, maybe timed with 3.2.0 release 09:26 joann so by my reading would be George, Jo, Galen, Chris, Henri, Rach + 1 to be decided 09:26 chris since then it all changes anyway 09:26 joann yes. 09:26 joann George has suggested that we could hold the first meeting of the Koha subcommittee at 7am NZ time on either Wednesday the 24th or Wednesday the 31st March. 09:27 joann are you suggesting though that we wait until 3.2 is released for first meeting? 09:27 joann i don't see an urgent need for a meeting t be honest 09:28 joann but we should meet sometime :) 09:28 chris im not sure that there is anything to currently meet about :) 09:28 joann I agree 09:29 joann hdl_laptop: do yu have an opinion? 09:29 hdl_laptop no need to hurry 09:30 joann ok. I shall send an email to the members i listed above and suggest that no urgency to meet unless sometimes feels strngly that we should? 09:30 chris sounds good to me 09:40 joann Chris: I have done hours and hours and hours of testing tonight. Its looking quite good :) 09:43 chris cool 09:45 joann have to go to bed soon so i can get up again :) 09:46 chris yep, im off to auckland tomorrow, at some point i hope to have a week in wellington :) 09:46 chris singapore last week, dorkland this week 09:47 joann did Laurel and the boys go with yu to Singapore? 09:48 joann hw did it go? 11:07 gmcharlt chris: hdl_laptop: etc: I don't see an urgent need for a meeting right away either 11:08 hdl_laptop hi gmcharlt 11:08 hdl_laptop still reviewing patches ? 11:10 gmcharlt hdl_laptop: and pushing them, as you can see 11:11 hdl_laptop gmcharlt: yep I saw 11:11 hdl_laptop I sent some more for 3482 11:11 hdl_laptop (followups 11:11 hdl_laptop ) 11:11 hdl_laptop Maybe PTFS would like to test them also 11:12 gmcharlt but note that some of your patches will end up being deferred to 3.4, most likely - something like C4/IssuingRules.pm is a good idea but a bit more than just a simple bugfix 11:13 gmcharlt hdl_laptop: you have always had the option of sending your patches to other parties for testing and their signoff, and I encourage you to do that 11:15 hdl_laptop gmcharlt: I expected you would reject C4/IssuingRules to 3.4 But I wanted your opinion pn that. Since to my mind even though it is more than just bug fix, it should be done the sooner. 11:16 chris too close to release imho 11:16 hdl_laptop gmcharlt: the first patch for bug3482 I sent to PTFS but had no feedback on that. 11:17 jdavidb hdl_laptop: I saw your email on that; I've been out of the office all week; expect to hear something back today or tomorrow, depending on how many fires I have to put out. 11:18 chris howd the campaigning go jdavidb ? 11:18 hdl_laptop Note that if I remind correctly, I have not used the module in the scripts. 11:18 hdl_laptop jdavidb: the patch proposed for bug3482 is quite old but I sent some more today 11:19 hdl_laptop jdavidb: And I had sent you them, as I had promised. 11:19 jdavidb Very well. Most of my state's reps are already aboard on the legislation we are interested in, but we landed a few more folks. We've got the votes to pass it, if the sponsor can jump through the procedural hoops. 11:20 chris thats great 11:22 hdl_laptop gmcharlt: noted the third party emailing proposition 11:23 chris well i have meetings all day tomorrow, so i should get some sleep 11:23 chris have a good day all 11:23 hdl_laptop sleep well 11:47 * jwagner opens a bleary eye 11:47 jwagner Good morning, I think. 11:51 hdl_laptop hi jwagner 11:55 jwagner Bonjour 12:09 chris_n g'morning all 12:20 owen Hello world. 12:28 gmcharlt hi owen, jwagner, chris_n 12:30 Ropuch Hi gmcharlt, owen jwagner chris_n ;-0 12:32 jwagner Hello all. 12:40 schuster hello Koha community. 12:55 Fallor hi guys :) 12:57 Ropuch Hello 12:57 janewagner Hmmm. Two days in a row I've gotten disconnected when trying to do a quote.

Sigh. 13:12 jdavidb Lobbying, with an activist organization whose goals I support. Went with friends to lobby for employment non-discrimination. 13:12 gmcharlt jdavidb: what's the org? 13:12 schuster For Open Source programmers I suspect... ;) 13:14 jwagner schuster, I'm From The Government And I'm Here to Help You? 13:15 jdavidb I have GLBT friends here, who have faced enormous job discrimination. Last week, HRC went, this week was the National Center for Transgender Equality. They asked for allies to come out, too. :) 13:16 Fallor bugger 13:16 Fallor i managed to f*** up zebra-biblios.cfg 13:16 Fallor /etc/koha/zebradb/zebra-biblios.cfg:1 missing colon after '5~' 13:17 owen jdavidb++ 13:17 owen The_Man-- 13:17 Fallor I think my editor inserted some special character somewere 13:18 Fallor found it 13:18 jdavidb Thanks, owen. I just happen to think that everyone should be able to get and retain jobs based on their qualifications and performance, not other matters. Kinda a no-brainer to me. 13:19 schuster jdavidb++ 13:20 jdavidb This bill is easily passable: 198 cosponsors in the House, 45 in the Senate. It's just tied up in procedural things. But the lead sponsor has said he's gonna push as soon as this health-care fooraw gets done. 13:21 gmcharlt jdavidb++ 13:23 Fallor Can't locate Unix/Syslog.pm in @INC 13:23 Fallor :( 13:24 Fallor I have this: /usr/lib/perl/5.8.8/i486-linux-thread-multi/Sys/Syslog.pm 13:24 gmcharlt that's Sys::SysLog; you need Unix::SysLog; what platform are you using? 13:25 Fallor this is slackware 12.2 13:25 Fallor actually it seems to be 12.0 13:27 gmcharlt ok, off-hand I don't now how/if slackware packages Perl modules 13:27 gmcharlt but doing 13:27 gmcharlt cpan Unix::Syslog 13:27 gmcharlt should install the module 13:28 Fallor ok, we'll see 13:29 * jwagner asks nicomo if he brought chocolate :-) 13:31 Fallor ok, the daemons are up 13:31 Fallor or at least it seems that way ;) 13:32 Fallor next i'll dump the database and create a zebra-index 13:32 Fallor and then reset the nozebra variable 13:33 Fallor is that all i need to do or is there something else? 13:36 gmcharlt that's it 13:37 Fallor cool, thanks again gmcharlt :) 13:38 schuster daemons ahhh run to the hills!!! :) 13:39 gmcharlt schuster: daemons are your friends! 13:39 gmcharlt trust me ;) 13:41 schuster I saw kyle's patches submission today I sure hope that all looks good and gets included with 3.2!!! 13:41 schuster Now if I could only figure out how to control those daemons... or at least the ones in my head... 13:42 * jwagner asks what operating system schuster's head is running 13:44 Fallor I get two error messages when building the index: 13:44 Fallor [warn] No such record type: grs.marcxml.record 13:45 Fallor [fatal] fopen /var/lib/koha/zebradb/biblios/key/key1.tmp [No such file or directory] 13:46 gmcharlt Fallor: do you have a /usr/lib/idzebra-2.0/modules directory on your system? 13:46 Fallor nope 13:46 Fallor doesn't seem to be there 13:47 gmcharlt ok, please check for it in /usr/local/lib and whereever else slackware stores libraries 13:47 Fallor it's actualli in /usr/local/lib 13:47 gmcharlt ah, ok 13:47 Fallor zebra is installed from source 13:47 gmcharlt what files does that directory contain? 13:48 Fallor mod-alvis.*, mod-dom.*, mod-grs-marc.*, mod-grs-regex-*, mod-grs-xml.* 13:48 gmcharlt ok 13:48 Fallor .a .la and .so of all of those 13:49 gmcharlt then the most like issue is that that the modulePath setting in zebra-biblios.cfg and zebra-authorities.cfg isn't pointing to that directory 13:49 Fallor ok, i'll check 13:50 Fallor right you are 13:50 Fallor they're pointing to nonexisting /usr/lib/idzebra... 13:50 Fallor that's fixed now 13:51 schuster jwagner - you dont' want it... leaks all the time. 13:51 hdl_laptop @seen pianohacker 13:51 Fallor still the same fatal message 13:52 gmcharlt ok 13:52 gmcharlt did the warning go away, at least? 13:52 chris_n hdl_laptop: munin is on lunch break 13:52 Fallor yep, but i got a lot of new warnings :D 13:53 Fallor i think some of them have to do with the correct directories not being present under /var/lib/koha/zebradb 13:54 gmcharlt var/lib/koha/zebradb 13:54 gmcharlt rather, creating /var/lib/koha/zebradb/biblios and /var/lib/koha/zebradb/authorities should be sufficient 13:54 Fallor i created them, but they don't seem to be enough 13:55 Fallor i also created key, register and shadow under biblios 13:55 Fallor because those were the ones that the warnings were about 13:56 owen schuster: Did you get your tablesorter working yesterday? 13:57 Fallor This is what is says now: http://pk.dy.fi/koha/errors 13:58 Fallor could it be about the ownerships/permissions of the directories? 14:00 schuster owen - no, I have a few other things that I am working on - my ADD got the best of me doing several things getting nothing done. I left it alone and maybe next week I can look at it again and see if I can see where I went wrong. 14:01 sekjal Fallor: ownerships/permissions could be a possibility, I'd think 14:01 Fallor so how should i set them? 14:02 Fallor actually that was not the problem 14:02 Fallor i made them world-writeable and the error is still there 14:03 jwagner Let's see if munin is really back. 14:03 jwagner @quote add <schuster> Now if I could only figure out how to control those daemons... or at least the ones in my head... 14:03 munin jwagner: The operation succeeded. Quote #69 added. 14:03 sekjal Fallor: how many records are you indexing? The only other similar problem I know is when indexing a large number of records, the cache goes over the default 4GB 14:04 Fallor Zebra says: Records exported: 4239 14:05 Fallor so it's not that big 14:05 sekjal no, that's way to low for the 4GB limit. hmm... I've exhausted my Zebra-taming knowledge for now. sorry 14:07 Fallor this is the strange thing: 14:07 Fallor 16:01:06-17/03 zebraidx(10221) [fatal] zebra_begin_trans: cannot open register 14:07 Fallor why can't it open the register? 14:08 Fallor and then there is that isamb/isamA thingy 14:08 Fallor whatever that is :D 14:08 sekjal perhaps (back on the ownership/permissions track) it needs to be executable as well as writeable? 14:09 Fallor well they were directories, so... 14:09 gmcharlt just the directories 14:09 gmcharlt there are no programs in the Zebra data directory that need to be made executable 14:11 Fallor http://pk.dy.fi/koha/errors 14:11 Fallor that's what I get now 14:12 Fallor cannot open register is still there 14:12 gmcharlt Fallor: I would suggest remove any files under /var/lib/koha/zebradb (leaving the directories) and trying again 14:13 hdl_laptop @seen pianohacker 14:13 munin hdl_laptop: pianohacker was last seen in #koha 3 weeks, 2 days, 13 hours, 19 minutes, and 32 seconds ago: <pianohacker> Cool!

17:10 hdl_laptop good question 17:10 hdl_laptop depending on the user you should have different answers 17:10 sekjal I would think the correct answer would be "don't try to use both at once", but since since one can, there should be some kind of systematic way of determining it 17:12 sekjal so, it could be universally one or the other, or "the earlier", or "the latter" 17:13 gmcharlt sekjal: might be easier to do something to enforce the "not both at once" requirement 17:13 hdl_laptop ceilingDuedate is defined, any datedue calculated cannot be after that date 17:14 hdl_laptop and GlobalDuedate is used in circ/circulation script 17:14 hdl_laptop and fixes return date for any item 17:14 hdl_laptop any borrower 17:14 Ropuch Oh, I have 4 suggestion on pl-staff translation project on pootle 17:14 sekjal so, right now, GlobalDueDate is overriding CeilingDueDate, since with GlobalDueDate, CeilingDueDate never even gets calculated 17:14 Ropuch I'm not alone! ;> 17:16 hdl_laptop Yep 17:16 hdl_laptop Ropuch: congrats 17:17 Ropuch With two persons we can call ourseves 'polish koha community' ;> 17:20 sekjal right now, the self-checkout tool doesn't respect globalduedate; I'm thinking it would make sense to pull the check for GlobalDueDate into CalcDueDate, so any way you come at it, the constraint is respected 17:21 gmcharlt sekjal: yep, that needs to be brought into CalcDueDate 17:21 sekjal okay, gmcharlt, will do! 17:22 gmcharlt ideally, circ/circulation.pl and every other place that does checkouts should contain zero knowledge of circ policies 17:24 sekjal so, I'm making the modifications now, but that brings back the question of priority, global vs. ceiling 17:25 sekjal the way I've coded it so far, the earliest date is chosen 17:26 hdl_laptop seems fair 17:27 hdl_laptop (at least a fair understanding ;) ) 17:27 hdl_laptop Not "that" fair to library users though 17:27 Ropuch Is there a way to sent a message to pootle user? 17:27 hdl_laptop (from users point of view) 17:29 sekjal or we could restructure the sysprefs as per gmcharlt's suggestion. one for the date itself, the other to indicate how to treat it (before, exactly, after) 17:30 hdl_laptop Ropuch : when accepting suggestion i guess 17:30 hdl_laptop Or if you have administration rights 17:32 hdl_laptop sekjal: could be quite hard to maintain 17:33 hdl_laptop if we get 3 or more Dates like that. 17:33 hdl_laptop for instance, calendars and vacation management per library. in a network of libraries 17:34 hdl_laptop But could be interesting for global system preferences 17:36 sekjal I think I'll just patch it to take the earlier date for now, and keep the syspref changes in mind for the future 18:27 CGI990 Hi guys 18:27 CGI990 I'm still trying to figure out if I've got a problem with my database structure or with my database content or what. 18:27 pastebot "CGI1990" at 192.168.15.101 pasted "mysql error" (21 lines) at http://paste.workbuffer.org/21 18:28 CGI990 I see two problems with the mysql statement 18:28 CGI990 an extra comma at the end of the list of fields to be selected, 18:28 CGI990 and a missing value for issuingrules.branchcode = 18:30 CGI990 It's worth noting that there is no time stamp on the mysql log, so I can't be positive this query coresponds to this error, but I feel pretty confident in the assertion. 18:51 CGI990 Is anybody there? 18:59 jdavidb The comma at the end of the first line may be your problem. Shouldn't be one, before a FROM. 19:01 jdavidb ...and yeah, the other missing value for issuingrules.branchcode. 19:01 jdavidb It'd be a structural problem if you were getting "no such column" sorts of errors. This query is just not worded right, is all. 19:02 CGI990 Thanks for getting back to me jdavidb 19:03 CGI990 Where do you think the comma before the FROM came from? 19:04 jdavidb I'd be looking at C4/Circulation.pm, about line 2079, like the error message suggests. 19:04 jdavidb Make sure that what ever routine is going on there is building that query up properly 19:05 CGI990 So should I be reporting this as a bug? 19:05 jdavidb That *might* point a finger at a content/structural problem, or some other issue. If it turns out to be a problem with code, then yes, it should be logged as a bug. 19:06 CGI990 O.K. I'll poke around some more. 19:06 CGI990 Thanks for your help. 19:07 jdavidb You betcha. :) 19:12 pianohacker Just wanted to say that Kyle Hall rocks for partial payment 19:12 pianohacker that's all :) 19:19 * chris_n looks around for pianohacker's phantom 19:24 schuster pianohacker ++ second from schuster 19:25 schuster Ok group - I've never done this before so how would I "install" a patch on my system? 19:25 schuster I've downloaded it so now what do I do? 19:25 * chris pops in from the airport 19:26 chris applying it to a git checkout? 19:26 schuster yes. 19:26 schuster no actually an email attachment sent to me directly. 19:27 schuster but I suspect the person who sent it did a git command to "package" it 19:30 CGI990 In my systempreferences table the CircControl variable has the value ItemHome Branch, but this option is not listed in the "options" field of CircControl. 19:31 CGI990 Should I change the value to "ItemHomeLibrary" directly in mysql, or can you direct me to the koha page where this variable would be set? 19:32 richard hi 19:32 chris schuster: in your git checkout 19:33 chris make a branch 19:33 chris git checkout -b testing_patch 19:33 chris something like that 19:33 schuster OK 19:33 chris then 19:33 chris git am -s -3 -i -u /the/path/to/the/patch 19:35 chris_n heya richard 19:36 chris_n and chris @airport 19:36 chris heya chris_n and richard 19:36 richard hi chris and chirs_n 19:36 richard chris_n even 19:37 chris_n "other things"... hehe 19:37 chris :) 19:38 bankhead Hola, help with cron job? I am getting "bad minute error" whatever I do 19:38 schuster OK thanks chris - I got an error - does not match index - If I have edited the file already will that cause it to fail? 19:38 chris definitely 19:39 schuster OK - I may try it on another "test" system and see what happens. If I decide to go ahead and apply the patch regardless with git-am -i -3 --skip 19:39 schuster will that just overwrite that file no matter what? before I do it... 19:40 chris if you skip it it wont apply 19:40 schuster ah. 19:41 schuster Is there a way I can look at the file to compare it to the one I already have? Even to print it out? 19:41 chris which file? 19:41 chris the patch? 19:41 chris yeah its just test 19:41 chris text even 19:42 schuster OK thanks that's what I will do and see if I can make my file work. 19:42 chris yeah i doubt that :) 19:42 schuster If I decide it is ok is there a way to FORCE the patch? 19:42 chris editing patches almost never works 19:42 chris only by making the changes manually 19:43 schuster I just wanted to compare the patch with the file I already have. OK Manually it is! 19:43 schuster Thanks for your time and again I learned something new! 19:43 chris usually a bad index means the person who sent the patch either didnt rebase first, or its based against a different branch (eg 3.0.x vs master) 19:43 schuster chris - the work you are doing for HLT will that be released with 3.4 or have you submitted them with 3.2? 19:44 schuster different branch - so my second test will probably work as it is head. 19:44 schuster I can compare that at least to work on getting it in my current version. 19:44 chris bugfixes for 3.2 19:44 chris im not doing any new features for HLT, so yeah pretty much all will be submitted for 3.2 19:45 chris (or have been already) 19:46 chris 80% of the work for the hlt upgrade was data tidy up (its always a good opportunity for that) 19:46 chris there are 2 features waiting to be submitted for 3.4 19:46 chris they were for Albany senior high school though 19:46 chris recommendations, and star ratigins 19:46 chris hi larsw 19:47 larsw hi, chris 19:47 * chris is just using the free wifi at the airport 19:48 chris ok time to wander down to the gate 19:48 * chris waves bye 19:49 larsw bye, chris 20:00 schuster Thanks everyone for the help today. 20:05 CGI990 Hi 20:05 CGI990 My Labels.PM has use version; our $VERSION = qv('1.0.0_1') 20:06 CGI990 My label-print.pl has use C4::Label 1.000000; 20:07 CGI990 Sorry, label-reate-csv.pl has use C4::Label 1.000000; 20:07 CGI990 Sorry, label-create-csv.pl has use C4::Label 1.000000; 20:07 CGI990 Advice?

20:30 wizzyrea_laptop simultaneous processing of holds 20:31 wizzyrea_laptop so, say you have two libraries 20:31 wizzyrea_laptop two items 20:31 wizzyrea_laptop two holds 20:32 wizzyrea_laptop library a and library b check in different items at the same time, chances are good that one of the holds is going to be messed up, because if they are even close to simultaneous the items will both show an alert to transfer to the same patron 20:32 sekjal Do you have your AllowHoldDateInFuture syspref turned on? 20:33 sekjal (if you don't mind my asking) 20:33 wizzyrea_laptop 31 libraries processing their holds queue all between the hours of 8am and noon you get a lot of synchronicity on popular titles 20:33 wizzyrea_laptop I don't think we have that in our current codebase 20:34 sekjal ok 20:34 wizzyrea_laptop it's also part of the reason that it's pretty hard to test 20:36 sekjal I'm working on some holds problems I thought sounded similar, and my current suspect would only trigger if that syspref was ON 20:37 wizzyrea_laptop ahhh 20:42 Ropuch Hi wizzyrea_laptop 20:42 wizzyrea_laptop heya :) 20:43 Sharon wizzyrea_laptop did our video about that holds issue get attached to a bug report? 20:44 wizzyrea_laptop no I don't think so 20:44 wizzyrea_laptop it's on my screencast though 20:44 wizzyrea_laptop not sure which bug to attach it to 20:44 Sharon hmmm. a new one? or 4040 or 3270? 20:45 wizzyrea_laptop bug 4040 20:45 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4040 normal, P5, ---, gmcharlt@gmail.com, NEW, Checking in an already confirmed on-hold item results in duplicate dialogs 20:45 wizzyrea_laptop no, not that one 20:45 wizzyrea_laptop bug 3270 20:45 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3270 major, P5, ---, gmcharlt@gmail.com, NEW, Cancelling a hold request after transfer initiated orphans item 20:45 wizzyrea_laptop no, not that one either 20:45 gmcharlt wizzyrea_laptop: possible a new one is needed 20:46 wizzyrea_laptop gmcharlt did the video help?

20:59 schuster Way cool!! Wizzyrea_laptop good job documenting visually what happens and tracking it down. 21:00 wizzyrea_laptop thanks, we try. We are highly motivated by our librarians who are annoyed by those problems every day. 21:00 alan can anyone help me? 21:00 wizzyrea_laptop ;) 21:00 schuster Well spring break is here and I am taking 2 days to play with the boys and then the weekend is here so see you all in 4 days... I may lurk in the late hours of the evening just to stay caught up. 21:01 wizzyrea_laptop alan, I'm thinking about your problem. I sort of recall that there was some issue about enabling/disabling auto card numbers 21:01 wizzyrea_laptop like once you picked one, you couldn't go back or something. But that's been a long time ago 21:02 alan this is a new install, i just want to create patrons 21:02 schuster alan - what version are you on. 21:02 wizzyrea_laptop so you haven't imported patrons at all? 21:02 wizzyrea_laptop do you have patron categories created? 21:02 alan no 21:02 alan how do i do that? 21:02 wizzyrea_laptop AH 21:03 wizzyrea_laptop one sec 21:03 alan if it is create a mysql table, then I have already done that 21:03 schuster in the client go to more/about 21:03 wizzyrea_laptop nope, not that 21:03 alan yes 21:03 wizzyrea_laptop one moment 21:03 schuster I'm on 3.01.00.032 for example 21:03 wizzyrea_laptop more -> administration 21:03 wizzyrea_laptop Patron categories 21:04 wizzyrea_laptop do you have anything defined there? 21:04 alan no 21:04 schuster good catch wizzyrea - you need to do more setup 21:04 wizzyrea_laptop ok you will need to. one minute and I will link you a pic of what mine looks like 21:05 wizzyrea_laptop http://www.screencast.com/users/lizrea/folders/Jing/media/b72185ab-429f-4871-8630-e91bf02c47d1 21:06 wizzyrea_laptop oops, wrong 21:06 wizzyrea_laptop http://www.screencast.com/users/lizrea/folders/Jing/media/b72185ab-429f-4871-8630-e91bf02c47d1 21:06 wizzyrea_laptop blarg 21:06 wizzyrea_laptop http://screencast.com/t/MGY1YTZkYz 21:06 wizzyrea_laptop there we go 21:07 wizzyrea_laptop yes, I really do have 1k unread in my greader 21:07 wizzyrea_laptop ;) 21:07 alan which catagories do i add? 21:07 wizzyrea_laptop any that you want 21:07 wizzyrea_laptop you can add just one if you like 21:07 wizzyrea_laptop PT Patron type Adult 21:07 wizzyrea_laptop with whatever parameters you like 21:08 wizzyrea_laptop what kind of library is it? 21:09 alan When I enter the catagory, it says its entered but it dosn't appear on the list 21:10 wizzyrea_laptop ohh kay. 21:14 CGI990 sekjal: (Sorry about the delay) It's making noise in my logs, but the effect seems to be that labels printed into cvs files are error messages instead of cvs files of labels 21:14 alan hi 21:15 alan my internet flicker 21:15 alan ed 21:15 alan sorry 21:15 sekjal CGI990: eww, yeah, that definitely counts as problems. 21:16 CGI990 Do you suppose I could just remove the version number from the calling script 21:17 alan when I create a catagory, it says it created one, but it is not on the list 21:18 alan how do i fix that? 21:18 sekjal CGI990: I suppose you could.... but I'm not sure what ripple effect that might have 21:18 wizzyrea_laptop I'm not sure exactly, I haven't heard of that happening 21:19 wizzyrea_laptop if it's a truly fresh install, you might consider reinstalling and installing the default values 21:19 wizzyrea_laptop help me out here peeps, can you just drop/recreate the koha DB and re-do the web installer? 21:19 sekjal alan: what's your AddPatronLists system preference set to? 21:20 wizzyrea_laptop (I can't remember) 21:20 CGI990 label-create-csv.pl doesn't work now, so I doubt it will have much ripple effect. I'm assuming it just makes the csv files. If there are incompatibilities, I'm no worse off than I am now. 21:20 alan what is AddPatronLists? 21:21 sekjal CGI990: true enough, I suppose. worth a go, if nothing else 21:22 sekjal alan: it's a system preference in Koha to tell it whether should show specific patron categories in the new patron menu, or general, hardcoded ones like Adult, Child, Organization, Staff, Statistical and Professional 21:22 wizzyrea_laptop it's a preference under global system preferences 21:22 wizzyrea_laptop is that a new pref sekjal? 21:23 sekjal wizzyrea_laptop: not sure when it was added 21:23 wizzyrea_laptop ah, it's in ours 21:24 wizzyrea_laptop but it's got different values... ours is category_type vs categorycode 21:24 alan where would I find it? 21:24 wizzyrea_laptop more -> administration -> Global System Preferences 21:24 wizzyrea_laptop search for AddPatron 21:31 alan i don't even see the more tab, maybe its because i am using version 2.2.9 21:32 sekjal alan: that could well be. I don't know anything about versions prior to 3.0 (when I got into the game) 21:32 wizzyrea_laptop ah, yea 21:33 * wizzyrea_laptop also does not know 2.2.9 21:33 alan I do have a preferences menu though 21:33 wizzyrea_laptop any particular reason you're not using 3.0.5 21:33 wizzyrea_laptop ? 21:33 alan i am using the win 32 version 21:34 alan I would like to upgrade though 21:34 wizzyrea_laptop ah 21:35 wizzyrea_laptop the honest truth is that koha doesn't work optimally on win32 21:35 wizzyrea_laptop in fact, it barely works. 21:36 alan how do you upgrade? 21:37 wizzyrea_laptop I'm sorry, that isn't my area of expertise, I have only ever run it on debian/ubuntu 21:37 alan Oh, you can use it on ubuntu? 21:37 wizzyrea_laptop yes, in fact it will work a lot better for you 21:37 alan ok, where can i get it? 21:38 wizzyrea_laptop http://koha-community.org/download-koha/ 21:38 alan thanks, bye 21:45 sekjal well, time to knock off for the day, and enjoy the rest of the sunlight. cheers, #koha
