I wonder how far up the chain I could get with the a "Mac OS X tax" argument for a refund? 22:21 chris hehe 22:20 pianohack but anyway 22:20 pianohack I think I've been reading too much english class material, throwin' in adverbs for the hell of it 22:19 pianohack well, no 22:19 chris also, objective measures don't exist in an ethical sphere :) 22:19 chris if you were gonna buy it, reformat and put linux on, then nope, but you are buying their software .. and that is much worse than a lot of the software industry :) 22:18 larsw but, but, ... shiny! or dull! white! or black! metal! dull shiny aluminium metal! brushed! how can you you not want to give all your money to them! 22:18 chris (theres more than just foxconn too im afraid) 22:18 pianohack Yes, those things suck, but are they objectively much worse than the rest of the computer _hardware_ industry? 22:18 chris proprietary code too, but that goes without saying :) 22:17 pianohack so drm, patents and foxconn 22:16 chris i don't like their drm and lock in practices, i dont like the patent threats steve jobs makes, i don't like the working conditions of the people who make their products 22:16 pianohack okay 22:15 chris with some practical thrown in as well 22:15 chris its pretty much all ethical 22:15 chris heh 22:10 pianohack chris: so maybe not the best time to go into your reasons for not liking apple? 22:10 pianohack ah 22:06 chris semi 22:05 pianohack also, chris: around? 22:05 pianohack morning all 21:45 chris yep thats exactly what happened 21:45 robin It looks like the httpauth stuff was written a long time ago, and kina forgotten about, it doesn't really work just yet :) 21:44 chris yup 21:44 robin ohh. I can have a session without a cookie if httpauth is being used - it just ties the session to the userid, that could work. 21:43 robin chris: what gets stored in the session? It looks like it's a bunch of information about the user, I assume that's used to reduce db lookups? 21:42 chris it can go on the list for 3.4 21:38 * robin wishes he had the time to rewrite the auth system - is currently very hard to make changes to :( 21:32 gmcharlt larsw++ 21:32 gmcharlt robin++ 21:32 chris sweet :) 21:08 cait bye all 21:00 larsw yay 20:59 robin chris: so, there's a new Debian package policy version out, which I think gives me an excuse to make myself the maintainer of larsw's packages. 20:25 richard hi 19:19 owen gmcharlt? 18:54 chris bbiab 18:54 chris ahh thats unhelpful 18:54 owen Trying to export one of my problem records gives me a 0-byte file 18:51 chris or something similair 18:51 chris marclint marc_file_name | less 18:51 chris so 18:47 chris it looks through your records and finds mistakes 18:47 chris apt-get install libmarc-lint-perl 18:47 chris you may have to install marclint 18:47 chris it should explode when it gets to the bad character, or at least tell you it saw one 18:46 chris then run marcdump on it 18:46 chris if you export the marc 18:45 owen chris, can you elaborate on "run marcdump or marclint on it?" 18:24 chris in this case 18:24 chris its from parsing the xml using xslt 18:24 wizzyrea (I'm still trying to understand) 18:24 wizzyrea this comes from the index? 18:24 wizzyrea so one bad character in one bad field causes it to puke? 18:23 chris and warn the librarian one is bad 18:23 chris we should show the other 19 18:23 chris we shouldnt explode cos one record is bad 18:23 chris but i think that a 500 is bad in that case too 18:22 chris yeah 18:20 owen Why does such an error not trigger a page like we get for a 404 or 500 error? 18:19 owen "the general issue" I refer to is the fact that if debug level is 0 you get a blank page with "production mode - trapped fatal error" 18:17 wizzyrea agreed 18:17 wizzyrea ^^ 18:17 cait get well chris 18:17 chris imho 18:17 chris and do a big red warning in the staff side 18:16 chris we should skip the record in the opac 18:16 chris definitely something we want to fix in future 18:16 sekjal out of battery. chris, feel even better, #koha, take care! hope to be back on soon 18:16 owen Nothing relevant to the general issue turns up in a search of Bugzilla for "trapped" 18:16 chris getting better i thnk, i feel better than yesterday, not 100% yet tho 18:15 owen :( 18:15 chris this early morning help is brought to by chris' stomach bug 18:14 chris owen: is there a bug on it do you know? 18:14 chris good luck finding it 18:14 chris no problem 18:14 tomascohe thanks again 18:14 chris might help you find it 18:14 * owen recalls ranting about that recently 18:14 chris then run marcdump or marclint on it 18:13 tomascohe chris: thats a good idea 18:13 chris tomascohe: you could export the marc 18:13 chris cos thats just lame 18:13 tomascohe thanks, i'll try to figure how to check it algorithmically in the databse 18:13 chris we should also fix it so a bad record doesnt kill everything 18:12 chris i think so 18:11 tomascohe should ? look for the problem in the first results list records? 18:10 tomascohe you where right, it worked 18:10 chris yeah try that, it might help us spot the bad record 18:10 tomascohe yes, i'm turning it off 18:09 chris tomascohe: do you have display results using XSLT turned on? 18:09 chris yeah 18:09 chris at least one record in the search results will break it 18:09 owen One bad record throwing off the parsing of the XML in the result set? 18:09 chris e 18:09 chris but its definitely som 18:09 chris well its not all, as borges works 18:08 tomascohe should i look for coding problems in ALL the records? 18:08 owen Perhaps a problem with the XSLT parsing of the search results? 18:08 tomascohe its a problem with a generic zebra search 18:08 tomascohe the problem (in my side) is that it is not refereed to A record 18:07 chris looks like the record has some bad characters in it 18:07 tomascohe opac-search.pl: Wide character in subroutine entry at /usr/share/perl5/MARC/Charset/Table.pm line 96 18:07 chris what does the apache error log tell you? 18:06 tomascohe http://ffyh.biblio.unc.edu.ar 18:06 tomascohe please try this opac instead, its the same problem 18:06 tomascohe philosophy, journal, etc 18:05 tomascohe its just some words 18:05 tomascohe if you search borges everything works fine 18:05 wizzyrea I get a DNS one as well 18:05 tomascohe i'm trying to show an error 18:04 chris i get a dns one 18:04 owen I've seen that error many times 18:04 owen "production mode - trapped fatal error" Is that the point? 18:04 wizzyrea me either :( 18:04 chris doesnt work for me tomascohe 18:03 tomascohe wizzyrea: my mistake, here goes http://ffyh2.biblio.unc.edu.ar/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=journal 18:02 sekjal for whatever it's worth 18:02 chris :) 18:02 sekjal there, I've definitely stated my position 18:02 chris im with you 18:02 sekjal KUDOS is not Koha. koha.org should not be the KUDOS site. that's what links are for 18:01 tomascohe oops 18:00 wizzyrea ah, that requires a login 18:00 tomascohe has anyone seen sthing like this? http://ffyh2.biblioadmin.unc.edu.ar/cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/search.pl?q=journal 18:00 owen "Could." 18:00 sekjal no promises could be made about such a turnover, whether KUDOS would 'own' koha.org' outright, or if PTFS would retain control, and give license to KUDOS to maintain the site 17:59 wizzyrea if they turned it over to kudos, kudos could turn it over to koha-community :P 17:59 chris kudos.koha-community.org can work right now if desired 17:59 chris if the domain was in control of the community, kudos.koha-community.org and kudos.koha.org could both work, and point to kudos.org 17:59 wizzyrea well 17:57 sekjal agreed 17:57 chris unless yes it was pointed to the world site 17:57 chris i can only see that as driving a wedge into the community 17:56 sekjal KUDOS needs a website. kudos.org is available.... but some folks want to leverage the SEO of koha.org, rather than letting it rot 17:56 sekjal having koha.org in the hands of a non-profit users group would be better than nothing, but it should point to the world site. period 17:55 owen No to mention a slap in the face of every non-US Koha enthusiast 17:55 * owen agrees 17:55 chris looks like a slap in the face to HLT and the people who voted for hlt to hold community property to me 17:55 sekjal owen: it was talked about at KUDOS, yes 17:52 owen-away sekjal: PTFS is considering turning over koha.org to KUDOS? 17:47 sekjal twitter has crunched down on search results for the conference IP... ugh 17:12 sekjal may lose WiFi for a couple minutes... 17:11 sekjal KUDOS meeting wrapped and tweeted.

So parsing XSLT should be done only for the first result 14:54 tomascohe hdl: i watn to use xslt's, just saying the code looks inneficient, with a los of innecesary i/o for just showing results or biblios 14:53 kf bye all, bbl 14:52 hdl tomascohe: you can set all XSLT variables to '' and you won't use XSLTs 14:47 kf sekjal: cool 14:47 sekjal and with that, time to get ready for KUDOS. Hope to have connection so I can report the proceedings.

It's also pulling in home_colors.css 06:29 chris weird 06:29 * robin flushes caches 06:29 robin hmm. It's still trying to use it. 06:28 chris and we shoudl git rm it 06:28 chris most installs dont use that 06:28 robin OK 06:28 chris right, id just remove the code in sysprefs to use colors.css 06:27 robin clientwork 06:27 chris could be, are you running master? 06:27 robin chris: seems to be coming from colors.css ... perhaps you committed to the wrong branch at some point? 06:26 chris and remove the opacmaincss in think it is 06:25 chris take a look in the opac tab 06:25 chris it'll be the css in the systempreferences 06:24 robin chris: not quite :) any idea why my local dev install would be trying to fetch assets from library.,org.nz? 06:24 chris am now robin, but i suspect you have headed home 05:03 cait good morning #koha 04:58 robin -g+d 04:58 robin chris: you aroung? 04:35 Mehwish OK I am trying that. 04:34 robin Mehwish: just from the line that starts '#!/usr/bin/perl' 04:34 Mehwish hmm. 04:34 wasabi something like that .... 04:34 Mehwish U mean I add this code in file kk.pl? 04:32 wasabi Mehwish: that will do it.. 04:32 wasabi http://paste.koha-community.org/12 04:32 Mehwish Thanks 04:32 robin at least you're spreading the hard work out over a longer time :) 04:32 Mehwish hmm.. It seems some reasonable solution. 04:31 robin basically, yeah 04:31 robin It won't be fast, but with 2,000 items, it'll be over quick. 04:31 Mehwish are u saying that I can run a query to give them barcode and then print out barcode list then attached a small chit 04:31 robin Give each item in koha a barcode value. Pre-print sheets containing all the barcodes for all the books. When someone brings up a book with no barcode, look it up, find the barcode in the sheet, and attach it to the book. 04:30 Mehwish Sorry I am not getting.. 04:29 robin that way it's not significantly slower. 04:29 robin Mehwish: oh yeah, you can give them a barcode value now, but only attach the code to the book when you have to handle it. 04:28 wasabi Mehwish: its only a small perl-script to mod your items to have a unique value in the barcode field 04:28 robin someone else may have a better idea, but I'm not aware of one. Lurk around here or perhaps ask on the mailing list, someone may be able to help. 04:27 Mehwish OK Thanks but that is very expensive solution I think. 04:25 robin Yeah, I think so. I had a quick look and can't see an option to turn the checkout barcode box into a search box. 04:23 Mehwish means we need to edit all record again and enter barcod for each by hand? 04:22 robin No, I think that at the worst you'd just have to attach barcodes to them, all the information is going to remain the same so won't need to be entered. 04:22 Mehwish we cannot afford that.. 04:21 Mehwish now do we have to enter all 2000 records again??? 04:21 robin I'm not aware of an option to change that, but it may be possible. I expect that almost everyone uses barcodes of some sort. 04:21 robin Hmm, you're right. I haven't played with that part of the system much. 04:20 Mehwish I cannot see any option other than entering barcode? 04:19 Mehwish can they browse books select book and then checkout that book to a patron? 04:19 Mehwish as entering barcode seems to me the only option for checkout. 04:18 Mehwish Now how can a librarian checkout those books? 04:18 Mehwish almost all without barcode. 04:17 Mehwish OK we have entered more than 2000 records.. 04:17 robin A barcode just makes that process easier. 04:17 robin Mehwish: a barcode isn't necessary, but some way of uniquely identifying each item is certainly useful, even if it's a number you type in by hand. 04:15 Mehwish Is there any setting in Administration that enable me to checkout books without barcode information? 04:14 Mehwish Is there any way to issue/checkout a book that do not have barcode? 04:13 Mehwish cannot we issue / checkout a book without barcode information? 04:13 Mehwish I want to ask is it necessary for every item to have a barcode? 04:12 Mehwish Hello All! 04:04 robin what is that _session_log gunk in C4::Auth doing there? It looks like it should be removed. 03:08 Amit morning #koha 03:08 Amit heya chris 02:23 chris_n g'night 01:27 chris yuck 01:27 Brendan Well im wet enough for it to seem like rain 01:26 chris_n raining? 01:26 Brendan Yup 01:26 chris_n ouch 01:26 munin chris_n: The current temperature in Madison Cnty; 3 miles NE Haywood, Haywood, Virginia is 23.9�C (9:30 PM EDT on June 27, 2010).

So that's a start. 01:07 chris_n :P 01:05 chris :) 01:04 gmcharlt test_cases++ 00:59 chris_n refactoring++ 00:57 robin but first, I'm doing some reformatting just so I can tell where blocks start and end. 00:57 robin I'm going to be doing a little refactoring of it in order to make this work. 00:56 robin gmcharlt: yes, that's correct :) 00:56 gmcharlt the granular permissions stuff per se is only about 25 of those lines ;) 00:56 gmcharlt chris: robin: no, its 400 lines because of code bloat and insufficient functional separation 00:51 chris ah 00:51 robin The loading the name from basic auth doesn't actually set up the user in the session, so other things blow up. I'm trying to work out how to deal with that. 00:50 robin I'm not sure. 00:50 chris its all do with the granular preferences and stuff eh? 00:49 robin the checkauth function is ~400 lines long :( 00:24 robin oh wait...not using a multithreading apache certainly helps, too.
