19:51 pianohac1 @last seen brendan
19:46 chris (those are just a selection of the confirmed ones)
19:45 * jwagner has to run -- see some of you at ALA
19:45 chris The efforts of promoting Koha ILS: Malaysian experience
19:45 chris Freedom in the library: Convincing your boss that sharing is good
19:44 chris eBooks: why they break ISBNs
19:44 chris From LAMP to KOHA: a case studies of Pakistan legislative assembly libraries
19:44 chris Kete and Koha: Integration Built on Open Standards
19:43 jwagner Huh. I searched for RFC and for RFC 3.4 and didn't find it. Thanks.
19:43 chris Ask a Librarian- why I love Koha
19:43 chris some programme highlights
19:42 chris http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/RFCs_for_Koha_3.4
19:42 jwagner chris, I'm seeing a wiki page for 3.2 RFCs -- is there one for 3.4?
19:41 chris i expect we will get a bunch more from nz when we send out emails to the nz library lists (australia too)
19:40 chris we havent really publicised it in non koha channels, yet, will do once the programme is finalised (next few days) but we have about 53 registered already
19:39 cait how many attendees?
19:38 chris the attendee one has even more countries :)
19:38 * cait hides
19:38 chris ahh, thats just the speaker list :)
19:38 cait not speak, just attend
19:37 cait no
19:37 chris you want to speak?
19:37 * cait is thinking what it will need to add Germany to chris' list
19:36 owen Last year's conference wasn't nearly as international
19:36 chris certainly to get a visa, yep :)
19:36 cait :)
19:35 owen It just goes to show that NZ is easier to get to from much of the world than the US is
19:34 chris its sounding more like a UN conference :)
19:34 chris sorry make that italy, confirmation from india, malaysia, pakistan, one us, australia, france, uk, and of course nz already
19:31 chris one from india, one from nigeria, and one from the us left to confirm
19:27 chris and then we can publish the programme
19:27 chris another speaker confirmation, only 3 left to confirm now
19:25 * jwagner ducks for cover
19:25 jwagner But chris, we're NOT typing it a third time! That's what cut and paste is for!!!
19:24 cait :)
19:24 * owen sees the steely look in chris's eyes when he says that
19:21 chris thats my rule of thumb, if i have to type it twice ... theres not gonna be a third time
19:21 chris twice
19:20 * owen wonders how many times a block of text can repeat before it's worth it to create an include for it
19:19 jdavidb hi, cait! :D
19:19 cait hi chris_n
19:16 chris_n heya cait
19:14 cait hi #koha
19:06 jwagner No, but it has a much wider array of potential uses, I think....
19:05 owen that's good, but it doesn't match any git command I'm always typing by mistake
19:04 jwagner owen, how about "git clue" -- can we add that one?
19:03 owen To be used by east-coast born politicians running for office in Texas
19:03 owen I invented a new git command, "git ranch"
18:44 jwagner owen, I was primarily checking to see if I'd missed a patch -- if you can't remember it, you probably haven't sent one :-)
18:36 jdavidb :)
18:36 munin jdavidb: Quote #56: "* jdavidb makes sure no kitty carcasses are among the dead bugs." (added by gmcharlt at 08:34 AM, February 11, 2010)
18:36 jdavidb @quote random
18:35 munin jdavidb: *click*
18:35 jdavidb @roulette
18:35 jwagner I think it had to do with the tablesorter function. I remember seeing you patch something or other with the tablesorter, not sure if it was this.
18:33 owen Funny how I can remember someone in 2005 promising they'll fix something but I can't remember myself promising to fix something 6 mos. ago
18:32 * owen wonders what kind of comprehensive fix he was planning
18:32 * jwagner thinks lunch is ALWAYS a reasonable distraction
18:28 owen Taking a look now
18:28 owen Sorry jwagner, got distracted by lunch
18:18 pianohack brb work
17:52 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3790 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, chris, NEW, Fix item sort to be by library in OPAC record display, XSLT fix for call number spacing
17:52 jwagner speaking of digging through bugzilla, owen, Bug 3790 where I said you were planning a more comprehensive fix -- what's the bug number for yours? (if there is one yet) I've seen a lot of patches fly by, but I don't remember if this was one of them.
17:25 Ropuch ;>
17:25 Ropuch I;m not sure if i should get involved with my nearly-non-perl-skill
17:25 Ropuch Anybody working on budget/funds migration to 3.2?

17:19 * chris_n is hitting a record frustration level trying to get TLS working with his openldap server :-P
17:18 jwagner chris_n, we set all kinds of records yesterday too :-(
17:15 vedran how to upgrade from Koha 3.0 to Koha 3.1?
17:15 * chris_n sure is glad we got the straw up several weeks ago
17:14 owen Having a pet rock you could hide under would be like owning your own elephant.
17:13 chris_n owen: would that be my pet rock?
17:13 chris_n hehe
17:13 owen Yesterday we hit LA LA LA I'M NOT LISTENING TURN UP THE AC
17:12 chris_n yesterday
17:12 chris_n jwagner: we hit 102F here w/108F heat index
17:11 jwagner chris_n, sounds like what we had yesterday. Never thought I'd be grateful for an attack of food poisoning, but it kept me home and safely inside all day :-)

17:03 owen Hi pianohack
17:02 pianohack mornin'
16:59 cait bye koha, bbl
15:59 cait umts...
15:11 hdl I think some reasonable filters could make sensitive data out of scope.
15:11 gmcharlt owen: right, would like need to filter which bugs get cross-linked, I would assume
15:11 chris_n then there is always the option of asking for a translation or explanation if further is needed
15:10 chris_n even if it was in French, google translate should render enough to figure out what's going on
15:10 owen Assuming the reports don't have customer-sensitive data?
15:10 gmcharlt adding hooks so that a bug in BibLibre's MT is automatically pushed to the Koha BZ would be feasible
15:09 hdl gmcharlt: we could try.
15:09 * chris_n wondered if linking was an option
15:09 gmcharlt and since BZ3 can accept bug updates via email and can support pushing bugs via a web service
15:09 gmcharlt one would be adding a custom field to link to a big Koha contributor's bug system
15:08 gmcharlt chris_n: hdl: since we can customize the Koha bugzilla, we could try a couple things
15:05 cait hi all
14:54 owen Even though it was only on my test installation, checking the movie Baby Geniuses out to myself felt very wrong.
14:50 chris_n yeah, language will always be a problem and lead to double work unfortunately (unless bugzilla gets some auto translation abilities)
14:50 hdl But well.
14:50 hdl we ought to report all our bugs in bugzilla... But reporting in english things written in french would double our work. We do for most of them.
14:48 hdl nm
14:48 chris_n that was not intended as a criticism of that particular situation so much as thinking out loud :)
14:48 hdl hi chris_n
14:47 chris_n heya hdl
14:43 hdl chris_n: was written before.
14:24 * chris_n thinks folks' internal bugs should reference equivalent bugs in the public koha bugzilla
14:18 owen And updating Bug 4069 would be good too
14:17 hdl yes... I should have renamed the commit
14:15 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4069 critical, P5, ---, henridamien, NEW, organize filter on suggestions doesn't work
14:15 owen hdl: I was confused because I spent a while updating Bug 4069 yesterday and almost immediately I saw a patch submitted for MT #3651
14:15 hdl owen: It is our bug tracking system: MANTIS
13:34 nengard i forget what MT stands for but it's the bug system they use in house
13:34 nengard owen - yes they do
13:10 owen alex_a?
13:05 owen Do numbers on Biblibre commits indicate internal bug-tracking numbers? "MT #3651"
12:40 jwagner I'll be at ALA for parts of Sunday and Monday afternoons -- probably hanging around the PTFS booth unless I'm in a meeting. Swing by & say hello!
12:32 nengard be back
12:32 nengard but now i have to walk the pups - we're staying at a friends apartment and can't just open the back door like at home ....
12:32 Genji for upgrade testing, as in copying an entire hdd to another linux's hdd and upgrading that install, is a virtual machine sufficient?
12:32 nengard i'd rather sleep sleep :)
12:32 owen Go go nengard!
12:31 nengard i'm speaking (today and sunday), signing books (today) and exhibiting (all other times)
12:31 nengard so if you're at ala come say hi to me
12:31 nengard i'm working all weekend :(
12:31 nengard jwagner - it's friday for some
12:28 chris_n hehe
12:27 * owen checks the list suspiciously for network admin jobs
12:27 * chris_n passes owen the other half of his todo list for the day :)
12:25 Genji huh... when i do a marc addbiblio on my works koha... it doesn't go to a item screen, it goes to another blank addbiblio.
12:19 jwagner It's Friday. That always has a bearing on how much work gets done....
12:18 owen You know, whatever. But within the next 7 hours.
12:18 jwagner owen, in what context? World Peace, World Cup, or World of Koha :-)
12:10 owen So... What's to do?
11:47 ray tnx!
11:41 Ropuch You can find some articles on Koha customization here
11:41 Ropuch http://www.myacpl.org/koha/?p=380
11:35 ray ow thank you.. another one.. how can i modify the opac design that will jive to the theme of our website? I'm planning to integrate the opac to our schools website but it will be odd to leave it unmodified.
11:30 Ropuch That should answer your question
11:29 Ropuch http://koha.org/documentation/manual/3.0/tools/notices
11:28 ray oops.. sorry
11:27 Ropuch It's not part of the nick

10:11 gmcharlt mib_r0lbs: no, you'd follow the same procedure that you would for installing any SSL cert
09:50 mib_r0lbs Hello all.....has anyone ever stuck an SSL cert on to Apache for use with Koha OPAC/Admin? Is there any difference to normal SSL certs etc?

09:25 gmcharlt you're welcome
09:25 Mehwish Thanks.
09:25 Mehwish OK gmcharlt I will try to make our system Online upto tomorrow. Then will request your assistance again.

09:22 gmcharlt no, that's still up in the air

09:10 Mehwish but we have not assigned it separate IP address yet.
09:09 Mehwish koha.isra.edu.pk
09:09 Mehwish well here inside campus we write following address to see that.
09:09 Mehwish but u can do some trick to see
09:09 Mehwish right now using it on LAN.
09:09 Mehwish not yet. we are just about to make it public.
09:08 gmcharlt is your OPAC publicly available so that I could take a look at it for myself?
09:07 gmcharlt no, you almost certainly don't need to reenter everything - no worries on that
09:07 Mehwish It must be my mistake at some place.
09:07 Mehwish I am new to Koha and Linux.
09:07 Mehwish do we need to enter all again?
09:07 Mehwish but now more than 2000 records have been entered.
09:06 Mehwish i might have missed some configuration..
09:06 Mehwish everything is fine.
09:06 Mehwish yes i can edit..
09:02 gmcharlt to confirm, you can edit that same bib in the staff MARC editor?
09:01 Mehwish gmcharlt: I did not find any error in apache error log.
08:59 gmcharlt hdl: here you go: http://www.flickr.com/photos/moonjazz/2323856709/
08:58 chris hehe
08:58 hdl (joking)
08:58 hdl acquisition work and 3.0.x on my table for the next days. having a dog near me staring at my keyboard so that it is done
08:58 gmcharlt there we go
08:58 chris almost :)
08:57 hdl btw
08:57 hdl gmcharlt: thanks for beta release
08:57 Mehwish gmcharlt: no i did not find any error in apache error log.
08:56 hdl gmcharlt: resent.
08:53 chris bummer
08:50 gmcharlt woke up like I was shot out of a cannon half an hour ago, couldn't go back to sleep, so here I am
08:48 chris good grief, how are you awake already gmcharlt
08:48 Mehwish hmm Let me check on my server.. telling u in few minutes..
08:48 gmcharlt do you see anything in the Apache error when you try looking at one of those bibs?
08:47 Mehwish I thought it is not necessary and it will require soem more configurations..
08:47 gmcharlt ok
08:47 Mehwish No I have selected No Zebra at the time of Installation.
08:46 gmcharlt may help
08:46 gmcharlt Mehwish: are you using Zebra? It shounds like some indexing is out of sync, and doing rebuild_zebra.pl -b -r
08:45 Mehwish any Idea? Anything missing in installation?
08:44 Mehwish An Error has Occurred Error 404 * An error occurred while try to process your request. * To report this error, you can email the Koha Administrator. * Use top menu bar to navigate to another part of Koha.
08:43 Mehwish then it shows error message..
08:43 Mehwish actually in details page if there are multiple copies of that book in different libraries
08:42 Mehwish Thanks for reply
08:41 gmcharlt Mehwish: is it doing this just in the summary search results, or also on the OPAC bib details page?
08:40 Mehwish in Koha Staff client it shows names of all branches but in OPAC only any one of libraries..
08:39 Mehwish Actually when I search for a particular book, it is showing its copies in only one library.. It is not showing names of aall libraries in which that book is present.
08:37 Mehwish can anybody help me out?
08:37 Mehwish I have a problem in Koha.. in OPAC Search.
08:36 Mehwish Hello All

06:17 jloucks as much as I want to stay up and work on this... it's bed time.
06:09 cait hi #koha
05:48 Ropuch ;>
05:46 jloucks I've got nothing done today because I've been toying with koha and trying to figure out marc records, follett conversion etc... yet at the same time these are the days that are most rewarding.
05:44 Ropuch Morning #koha

04:51 brendan @wunder 93117
04:37 brendan heya #koha
04:17 Genji whats the disadvantage of having libraries vs databases?
04:15 richard oooh beer o'clock
04:15 robin yay, almost have a handler made to allow Apache to authenticate against Koha. But now, beer o'clock has arrived.
04:08 Genji i put debian on another machine because of its ease of creating raid in installer.. but now i have the problem of.. a unprivileged user can't just insert a cd and have it automount.. and it also refuses to mount, too... even using a su'ed terminal...fustrating.
04:05 jloucks it is great, right off the installer.
04:02 Genji i think mint is the most mature linux ive used.
04:02 jloucks I haven't used it a lot, but I have it on my laptop as my linux machine... just trying to get a better feel for linux in general.
04:02 jloucks Mint is very nice.
03:56 * Genji uses mint.... usually. "Except now, i rigged up a jackd install, and ive got only 2 channel sound, when i should have 6.. so i have ot use windows to watch dvds...."
03:52 jloucks hmmm... koha user has cmd line... now I'll try the upgrade from here.
03:42 jloucks probably be easier to just start from scrach instead of vmware. Every time I log in as root it automatically starts the koha admin instead of taking me to an elevated cmd line.
03:40 jloucks going to go find the initial setup guide now and see if I Can install the latest version
03:39 jloucks But it seems like the commands are always slightly different, and I use them rarely enough that I forget everything
03:39 jloucks Yeah, Just need to learn the command line etc. I've used ubuntu a little, and suse a little, and mint a little.
03:39 chris and just get a new version of koha
03:38 chris keep using the vmare image
03:38 chris well if you dont want to install debian
03:38 chris right
03:38 chris and you wont even have to to dthe import
03:38 jloucks Not worried about that.
03:38 jloucks the db is basically empty right now, because the first import was jank.
03:38 chris then koha will go, hey, this needs upgrading, and upgrade the db
03:38 chris import it into the new one
03:38 chris then dump the db frmo the old one
03:38 chris you could even install a new version of koha
03:37 jloucks <--linux newbie. I'm an Active Directory 2000/2003/2008 admin.
03:37 chris if the upgrade didnt work
03:37 chris and then point to your new version, instead of the old one
03:37 chris and just download and install koha
03:37 chris you *should* be able to use the vmware image
03:36 chris yeah thats a pretty old version
03:36 jloucks Ah well. I was trying to avoid setting up debian from scratch.
03:36 wizzyrea_ :(
03:36 wizzyrea_ for amazon content, yea
03:36 wizzyrea_ if you don't have a place for the secret key, you probably won't have the ability to get all of the advanced content
03:36 jloucks Take it I need to start over?
03:36 jloucks 3.00.01.005
03:35 wizzyrea_ more -> about koha
03:35 wizzyrea_ what version?
03:35 wizzyrea_ ooh
03:35 jloucks Yeah, I've got one... didn't see where it was to be put in, though.
03:35 wizzyrea_ do you have the secret key too?
03:35 jloucks I'm also not sure about my AmazonAssocTag -- I've got an amazon associates ID. And, of course, I also have the AccessKeyId.
03:34 jloucks ?
03:34 jloucks Are there more/
03:34 jloucks all of the ones in "enhanced content"
03:32 wizzyrea_ and *all* of the prefs on?
03:32 wizzyrea_ do you have *all* of they keys in?
03:32 jloucks The book jacket shwos now, though.
03:32 jloucks So-- I got the amazon stuff enabled, but title notes and reviews still don't show up.
03:32 wizzyrea_ but don't use it
03:32 wizzyrea_ well, we still have it
03:32 wizzyrea_ we had nekls.lib.ks.us for a while
03:31 jloucks still long, but not nearly as bad.
03:31 pianohack anyway, time for netflix. see you all later!
03:31 jloucks we're just nc.k12.mo.us now
03:31 pianohack yeah, the .us domains are a bit unwieldly
03:31 jloucks when I started here we were web.northcallaway.k12.mo.us
03:30 pianohack supposedly that's the reason to not use an internal, unregistered domain like .corp or .nekls
03:30 pianohack *joshing country of falafel librarians
03:30 pianohack because who knows, the joshing country of malodorous librarians might register .jcfl, AND THEN WHERE WOULD WE BE
03:29 wizzyrea_ idk about that, but it works out
03:29 pianohack supposedly that is a better idea (tm)
03:29 pianohack ah, k
03:29 wizzyrea_ only lan.nekls.org
03:28 pianohack lucky. Do your internal systems use subdomains of that?
03:28 wizzyrea_ I have nekls.org
03:28 wizzyrea_ I don't ever have to be OCD
03:28 pianohack ignore the ocd sysadmin
03:28 pianohack but anyway
03:28 pianohack also, I want to get rid of our internal domain name .jcfl
03:27 pianohack florencecolibrary.org -> jcfld.org = bliss, for only $15 a year
03:27 pianohack gah!
03:27 wizzyrea_ tell me that's not way too long
03:26 wizzyrea_ ph: we have one at www.williamsburgcommunitylibrary.org
03:26 pianohack (really need to convince my library director to spend the extra money on a shorter domain name)
03:25 pianohack It's just slightly strange and confusing, so wanted to be sure
03:25 jloucks need to go find my codes and put them in.
03:25 pianohack awesome!
03:25 jloucks Yeah, I actually know where the amazon settings are.
03:25 jloucks Fantastic
03:25 pianohack From amazon
03:25 pianohack You'll have to make sure that the other Amazon system preferences are turned on
03:25 jloucks So--the title notes there--was that manual or from amazon/
03:24 jloucks I got my codes last night from amazon, but they weren't activated until a few hours ago. I'll have to try putting them in now.
03:24 pianohack jloucks: Example: http://catalog.florencecolibrary.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=22423 under title notes
03:23 pianohack "Koha: we don't even WANT your soul!"
03:23 jloucks And automatically pulling in item info would be one thing she'd love.
03:23 jloucks Trying to think of things that might make our head librarian more receptive.
03:22 pianohack jloucks: Not exactly, but if you turn on Amazon content, you'll at least get it to show up in the catalog (staff and OPAC)
03:22 wizzyrea_ like amazon?
03:22 jloucks hey, while I'm sitting here waiting for this revert to finish--is there any way to automatically fill in the "item description" field with the book summary from another database?
03:19 Amit hi pianohack
03:19 pianohack Also, hi amit
03:19 pianohack browsers--
03:19 chris hi Amit
03:19 chris pianohack: no doubt
03:18 Amit heya chris
03:18 pianohack Would actually be far easier without having to deal with AJAX UI stuff
03:18 chris that would be handy
03:18 pianohack Maybe I should port the import profiles work Idid that's languishing in the repos of an... unnamed vendor to bulkmarcimport.pl
03:18 wizzyrea_ at least you're honest
03:17 jloucks But, of course, I was being lazy and using the vmware image.
03:17 jloucks I tried running an update when I first installed--screwed everything up.
03:17 chris yup
03:17 jloucks Cmdline is great if you know what you are doing.
03:17 chris misc/migration
03:17 jloucks didn't know anything else existed.
03:16 chris i use bulkmarcimport to do mine, i dont use the web based version for migration stuff
03:16 pianohack my tactics might not work so well in a more civilized age :)
03:16 chris bulkmarcimport.pl -d from the commandline :)
03:16 jloucks Import only took a few hours here.
03:16 jloucks Probably should have just started over from the base image... could have been importing by now.
03:16 pianohack Last import I did was in the 2.2 days, where I just TRUNCATEd everything after a bad import, so I wouldn't know...
03:15 pianohack Yes, can imagine
03:15 jloucks Reverting this import is taking for freaking ever.
03:15 jloucks fantastic.
03:15 wizzyrea_ ^^
03:15 pianohack But we're here to help!
03:15 pianohack Zebra is weird in some fairly unique ways
03:15 jloucks Oh, well if it is like NAT and whatnot that's no problem.
03:14 pianohack Zebra lingo actually
03:14 pianohack It's much more tech than library lingo
03:14 wizzyrea_ not much
03:14 jloucks How much of it is library lingo that will be foreign to me.
03:14 pianohack Fast and accurate searches
03:14 chris even if you had 7 records
03:14 pianohack yup, even at that level
03:14 chris defintely worth doing
03:14 jloucks About 10k per site.
03:14 wizzyrea_ but yea, it's probably worth it
03:14 pianohack jloucks: Well, it can be
03:14 jloucks So, I'm guessing it is worth the time to setup Zebra? The language made it sound like it was going to be a PITA to do... We've got 30-40k items.
03:14 wizzyrea_ ^^
03:13 pianohack Nice buggy people keep koha alive ;)
03:13 pianohack Ask away; personality is far more important than bugginess
03:13 pianohack Bah
03:12 jloucks And if I'm hosting something, I will subsequently feel less dirty asking lazy questions.
03:11 jloucks It'll be good to use some of our bandwidth that wer'e paying a crap ton for... for something useful.
03:11 pianohack But definitely yes, I would think
03:11 wizzyrea_ ya
03:11 pianohack Well, we'll have to figure out what to put there
03:11 Genji so, is jloucks offer going to get taken up?
03:11 pianohack I think the southwest is maybe 2 or 3 actual states
03:11 wizzyrea_ mountain folk?
03:10 pianohack westerners?
03:10 pianohack I have no idea
03:10 wizzyrea_ what are you coloradans?
03:10 jloucks I haven't been on irc in like 12 years... Maybe 14.
03:10 pianohack hehehe
03:10 wizzyrea_ bah, colorado folks
03:10 pianohack bah, midwesterners
03:10 wizzyrea_ :)
03:10 wizzyrea_ ok, we can be friends
03:10 jloucks I went to columbia college, so I avoided MU myself.
03:09 wizzyrea_ me either really, but I did graduate from KU :P
03:09 jloucks I watch Hockey and that's it.
03:09 wizzyrea_ >.>
03:09 * wizzyrea_ might live in the land of the jayhawks
03:09 jloucks Don't worry, I'm not a college sports fan.
03:09 jloucks HA.
03:09 * wizzyrea_ hisses
03:09 jloucks Smack dab in the middle of the state.
03:09 chris there is a new version of PEM
03:09 wizzyrea_ OH MORTAL ENEMY!
03:09 wizzyrea_ i'm lazy, I could google it
03:09 jloucks near columbia.
03:09 wizzyrea_ where in MO, if you feel ok telling
03:09 jloucks MO Here.
03:09 Genji jloucks++
03:08 wizzyrea_ since I live in KS
03:08 wizzyrea_ ok, I know I should know where you're from now
03:08 pianohack jloucks++
03:08 jloucks if you guys get serious about it, just drop me an e-mail at erate@nc.k12.mo.us with the reqs and I'll get it setup.
03:07 pianohack also, why is freshmeat actually attractive, this must be against some law
03:07 pianohack jloucks: Sounds like an awesome offer
03:06 jloucks I could set up a 20gb dedicated virtual on ESXI with dedicated IP with either 2003 or whatever flavor of linux if someone wants to remote in and take care of the rest once it is done.
03:06 pianohack Ironically, this software would work quite well: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/
03:06 chris i find the latest incarnation of freshmeat.net really clean
03:05 chris yeah sourceforge is way overkill
03:05 Genji sourceforge engine is opensource.
03:05 pianohack maybe. the current contribs interface and freshmeat get the job done, but they're a tad clunky
03:04 wizzyrea_ ^^ good point
03:04 chris i wonder if the code that runs freshmeat is gpl
03:04 wizzyrea_ depends, there's probably a plugin for that
03:04 pianohack maybe a bit
03:04 chris i think we'd be stretching wordpress
03:03 * wizzyrea_ gives the shifty eye
03:03 wizzyrea_ idk ANYBODY who has wordpress...
03:03 pianohack (minor exaggeration, but the answer to so many problems seems to be "use wordpress dammit")
03:03 Genji Drupal, myself.
03:03 wizzyrea_ <.<
03:03 chris wouldn't have to be, it is quite nice .. but just something that allows people to upload stuff, and do version etc
03:03 wizzyrea_ >.>
03:03 wizzyrea_ >..
03:03 pianohack Wordpress, being the closest earthly example of a perfect CMS, might be a better way
03:03 pianohack Would we want to replicate the exact setup?
03:02 pianohack wizzyrea, chris: Yup, looks like it's on one of ll's ec2 instances
03:02 chris i suspect we'd have to get all the files, from there (There isnt much) and set it up somewhere else
03:02 chris but i long since lost access
03:02 jloucks As far as hosting goes, anyway
03:02 chris i set it up
03:02 chris well back in the day
03:02 jloucks Ha. Well, we could do it, I'm sure.
03:02 wizzyrea_ almost has to be LL :/
03:01 pianohack I have no idea who even admins that, come to think of it
03:01 wizzyrea_ but I really have NO idea
03:01 wizzyrea_ probably not a whole lot
03:01 jloucks what kind of bandwidth does it need? We've got 10mb upstream we barely touch.
03:01 wizzyrea_ hehe
03:01 pianohack See, I live in the brain next door ;)
03:01 pianohack well, yes
03:00 wizzyrea_ contribs.koha-community.org
03:00 pianohack contribs.koha.org
03:00 pianohack You touched borrowers yet?
03:00 jloucks What needs hosted?
03:00 pianohack Right
03:00 jloucks then I had to batch edit our site code in because we were running individual sites...
03:00 pianohack I'd offer our library, but I'm leaving soon and our tubes are not quite internet enough for it
03:00 wizzyrea_ nobody has offered to take up hosting of that one yet
03:00 jloucks Just the item types though.
03:00 pianohack I have a migration from follett lying around that I need to take care of, so I was curious how that was going, jloucks
02:59 jloucks yeah. They require some easy editing.
02:59 wizzyrea_ contribs is still up
02:59 wizzyrea_ indeed
02:59 pianohack Were there scripts for that on contribs.koha.org?
02:59 jloucks Librarian was pushing for destiny, but the cost is astronomical.
02:59 wizzyrea_ i'm fast ;)
02:59 pianohack oh, cool
02:59 jloucks Yeah.
02:59 jloucks Follett.
02:58 wizzyrea_ follett
02:58 pianohack jloucks: What ils are you importing from?
02:58 jloucks When I Get the basics down and everything imported and functioning, I'll definitely have to follow up with that.
02:58 jloucks Gmcharlt--that sounds awesome.
02:57 wizzyrea_ gmcharlt: someday, you must teach me the secret of that
02:56 wizzyrea_ jloucks++
02:56 jloucks I really want this to work. I'm tired of the admins around here not giving anything open source a chance, and subsequently draining our budget.
02:56 chris if you want to just let them pick they can do it from there
02:55 chris http://library.kapiticoast.govt.nz/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl
02:55 gmcharlt jloucks: and you can also configure things so that a given Apache virtual host limits to a particular library by default
02:55 wizzyrea_ ya
02:55 chris yes
02:55 jloucks like via a dropdown next to the search...
02:55 jloucks As I add the other libraries later, is there a way to force the user to choose a specific library/branch? Or even to link to a specific library/branch?
02:54 robin gmcharlt: hehe
02:54 gmcharlt robin: considering the way I keep house, that question would be asked of me, not by me :)
02:53 jloucks Yeah. I've got a library set up with the name of NCHS Library and the code of NCHS. This seems promising.
02:53 gmcharlt heh
02:53 robin <gmcharlt> OK, so who do those dishes belong to? And pick your clothes off the floor!
02:52 chris same thing
02:52 chris branch/library
02:51 jloucks Hmmm.. I've set up the library code. Where is branch setup at? I didn't see that in the admin area.
02:50 * gmcharlt settles into the collective apartment that apparently combines my brain, chris', and wizzyrea's
02:50 chris oh no, now im in gmcharlt's brain too
02:50 chris now, make sure you set that branch up
02:50 jloucks now I've gotta wait to undo my last export... bleh.
02:50 gmcharlt jloucks: should, assuming that you've set up NCHS as a branch code in the Koha database first
02:49 jloucks Just did a batch replace of =952 \\ with =952 \\$aNCHS$bNCHS (NCHS is the site code) -- hoping that'll do the trick.
02:47 chris sleep well
02:47 Genji Night...
02:46 gmcharlt g'night
02:46 * gmcharlt is going to bed
02:43 jloucks Yep...
02:43 chris that'd do it jloucks
02:42 jloucks Alright... Checked out the marc-koha mappings and used marcedit to take a look at my import... Guess that none of my records have any data for 952-a or 952-b.
02:42 Genji gmcharlt: and the log address is?
02:42 * gmcharlt breathes sigh of relief that he had dropped the 'i' instead of the 'l'
02:39 Genji please?
02:39 Genji oh hey, chris, Can i get ops?
02:38 chris 1 hour and 16 minutes until beer oclock!!
02:37 wizzyrea_ chris has way better booze in his
02:37 chris theres a better couch in wizzyrea_'s
02:37 gmcharlt chris: wizzyrea: you may find it more comfortable if you stop occupying each other's brains ;)
02:36 chris but you are running some weird version genji, so best be checking ;)
02:36 wizzyrea_ AGAIN with the copying!
02:36 chris usually its 952 $a and $b
02:36 wizzyrea_ 952
02:36 wizzyrea_ says gmcharlt
02:36 wizzyrea_ er rather, make that $a for home and $b for holdings
02:36 chris check out youre koha-marc mappings
02:35 Genji what fields in items control which libraries?
02:35 larsw yay, beta
02:35 * wizzyrea_ giggles
02:35 chris ever since that thing with the cousins
02:34 wizzyrea_ ya, koha.org is kind of.. um... dead to us
02:34 jloucks well the appropriate link sure helps!
02:33 wizzyrea_ neener neener
02:33 chris stop copying me wizzyrea_ :_)
02:33 chris www.koha-community.org is a great place to explain why the koha-community bit ;)
02:33 wizzyrea_ www.koha-community.org
02:33 wizzyrea_ you are going to the wrong website
02:33 chris wiki.koha-community.org
02:33 wizzyrea_ wiki.koha-community.org
02:33 chris yep
02:33 jloucks You're supposed to have a great wiki, too... unforunately it doesn't exist that I Can find.
02:32 jloucks I've got records and items imported, but the import must not have had branch/location information.
02:32 Genji hmm... never seen that page, in the process..
02:32 chris http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual/?ch=x6925#AEN6928
02:32 wizzyrea_ http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual/?ch=x6925
02:32 chris luckily we have a good manual too :)
02:32 chris its the last part of the adding a new record process, you add a biblio record, then the last part is adding items
02:31 jloucks I've been assigned this project by the school I work for, though I've got little to no understanding of marc records and library systems. I'm the tech guy, so I'm just supposed to figure it out. At least there is a decent community.
02:31 chris right, id still have items ;) each item would maybe just contain a url :) but thats by the by
02:30 jloucks LOL. I know how both of you feel...
02:30 Genji yeah.. its been ages. the library ive been working for, for the last couple of years... doesn't have items. its a digital library.. never needed items.
02:29 chris srsly?
02:29 Genji okay... how do i create an item?
02:29 chris as it stands
02:29 chris records dont
02:29 chris items belong to libraries
02:29 chris you dont
02:26 Genji but how do i put records at creation time, into libraries?
02:25 Genji right... and i can take out libraries not permitted, from the library dropdown.
02:25 jloucks Out of curiosity--is there any way to restrict to a library by default? Or have a drop down available on the main search screen?
02:24 chris but afaik there is no way to have a record availabe in some, .. i think its either one or all
02:24 chris you can restrict searches to a library
02:21 Genji Whats 'filter by library' do currently?
02:21 Genji yeah. thats me.
02:21 chris your boss might be up for shelling out a chunk of time/money to develop code to do that then
02:17 Genji i suggested seperate koha databases.. he didn't like that idea.
02:17 Genji gmcharlt: boss wants to have some records shared between libraries... and some not. But, some users should not be able to access some libraries... some people should be able to search all....
02:15 gmcharlt Genji: do you mean multiple Koha databases?
02:15 gmcharlt er rather, make that $a for home and $b for holdings
02:14 Genji multiple databases / libraries on same server... how does one use addbiblio to shove the record into a particular library?
02:14 gmcharlt 952 subfield $b would have the item's home branch code, and $d the holding branch code
02:13 Genji greetings all.
02:13 gmcharlt if you were creating 952 fields in the bib records to transfer the items to Koha
02:12 gmcharlt jloucks: "assinging to a particular library" is using done for the item records
02:08 jloucks Manged to get everything imported from follett with the conversion script. The data looks clean. Not sure it got assigned to a particular library or not, though.
02:08 wizzyrea_ netflix streaming, almost all the seasons, 8 bucks a month
02:07 jloucks Ha. Wish I was watching bones.
02:07 wizzyrea_ :)
02:07 wizzyrea_ see
02:07 wizzyrea_ and gmcharlt had to look it up
02:07 munin gmcharlt: devils, foldoc, gcide, easton, wn, jargon, bouvier, vera, and moby-thes responded: vera: LIFE Logistics Interface For manufacturing Environment; vera: LIFE Laboratory for International Fuzzy Engineering [research] (MITI); foldoc: life <jargon> The opposite of {Usenet}.

02:06 wizzyrea_ eh
02:06 * chris thought you guys were off having lives :-)
02:06 wizzyrea_ < has been in orbit around follett > koha migrations
02:06 gmcharlt jloucks: I've done migrations from Follett as well (more to Evergreen than Koha, as it happens)
02:05 wizzyrea_ what's your specific question?
02:05 chris i dont think anyone here, but i know it has been done before
02:04 jloucks Anyone have any experience moving from Follett to Koha?
01:44 chris http://koha-community.org/koha-3-2-beta-released/
