Time Nick Message 23:18 Genji hey all. im having some trouble. a session param will not stay saved. 19:52 sekjal okay, time to have a bit of weekend. cheers, #koha! 18:42 CGI120 Thank you 18:34 jcamins That said, if you have the technology skills in house, there's no reason you couldn't use the serials module. I know nothing about the serials module, so I can't really advise on that. 18:33 cait1 and the photos are cute too 18:33 jcamins CGI120: if you have a different ILS that you're not considering switching from, I think Koha might be more overhead than necessary. 18:33 cait1 jcamins: thx for the cookie :) 18:32 CGI120 lol 18:32 jcamins (that was in response to chris's photos, not Excel spreadsheets;) 18:31 jcamins They're both so cute. :) 18:31 CGI120 Hi I just started working in a very small library and I am responsible for the acquistion of serials and noting any missed issues. The last employer used an excel sheet. Is there a way to use Koha without much server space to utilize their serial automation functions for tracking my serials? 18:30 sekjal hehe 18:28 chris i call it, what happens when you let kids pick the shirt they want to buy 18:28 chris http://photos.bigballofwax.co.nz/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=72729 i like this one too 18:26 jcamins Aww! What a great picture! 18:26 sekjal chris: that's great! 18:25 jcamins *an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie bar 18:25 chris http://photos.bigballofwax.co.nz/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=72687 18:25 chris this should make you smile 18:24 * jcamins gives cait a oatmeal chocolate chip cookie bar 18:21 cait and unsteady internet connection 18:21 cait jcamins: hmpf = tired, late travelling, not sure I will get home today 18:18 jcamins Cool, knowing that will make adding fields to indexes much easier. 18:17 sekjal jcamins: yes, every index is searched when you do keyword (as I recall) 18:15 jcamins Does that mean that *every* index is searched when you do a keyword search? 18:15 jcamins Oh, since you're becoming a Zebra expert, maybe you can explain why the following worked: I added 561 and 563 fields to the Note index, but it turns out you don't need the prefix nt: to search those fields, once they were added to the index. 18:14 sekjal I know I have to become a Zebra expert... but I don't have to like it! 18:13 jcamins I would guess the latter, but I might be mistaken. 18:12 sekjal wonder if there is a way to say "not $h" or if I have to specify each good subfield individually... 18:12 sekjal basically it's just an oversimplication in the record.abs... 18:11 sekjal not so helpful 18:11 sekjal so you look for something in Arabic, and you'll find things that were originally in Arabic but translated to English 18:11 jcamins Ooh, that's confusing. 18:11 sekjal client of ours just noticed that limiting on language is not always intuitively effective: the $h (original text language) gets indexed the same as all the other subfields (which mostly relate to the actual language some or all of the material is in) 18:10 jcamins Probably the software that book was cataloged in didn't include the option for Macedonian, either. 18:09 jcamins But oh well. 18:09 jcamins Of course, that didn't pull up the record I wanted. 18:09 sekjal ah, okay 18:09 jcamins My question was about the prefix, but I got it right. 18:09 jcamins Yeah. 18:09 sekjal at least in MARC21 18:09 sekjal code would be 'mac' for that, wouldn't it? 18:08 jcamins Yeah, that worked. 18:08 jcamins ln:? 18:07 jcamins The advanced search screen doesn't offer an option for "Macedonian" in the language dropdown. 18:05 * sekjal is with ByWater Solutions 18:05 sekjal to be exact, version 3.01.00.143, which is a couple commits ahead of the '3.2-beta' tag 18:04 sekjal yes 18:04 mac2 Hey, the demo by "bywatersolution" is 3.2? 18:03 jcamins That's something else. ;) 18:03 jcamins Ah. 18:03 mac2 that's gonna be too costly for our small library. We are using Winsis at the moment. 18:02 jcamins I think some vendors provide service internationally. 18:01 mac2 Cannot find distributer/verdor in my country 18:01 mac2 Thanks for your help. I'm sure will pop into IRC more in future since we need to handle this project by ourself + our IT department. 17:56 sekjal whoops 17:56 sekjal all I can do is keep the bug fixes coming and verify code for quality 17:56 sekjal "very soon". I'd hope by the time KohaCon rolls around (late Oct). but it's under my control; the Release Manager makes that decision 17:55 mac2 ic... when do you think the final version of 3.2 gonna be available? 17:54 sekjal the whole history of the project is in the git repo 17:54 sekjal or 3.0.6, even, if you wanted 17:54 sekjal if you install from git, you have all the committed patches, and can choose what point in time to set the code (either at the '3.2-beta' time, or the latest and greatest patch) 17:53 sekjal the tarball is a fixed snapshot in time; you'd need to download the new one once 3.2 itself was available, and do a 'make upgrade' 17:52 mac2 tarball 17:52 sekjal mac2: are you thinking of an install from the tarball, or the from the git repo? 17:52 mac2 but do I need to apply all the 400+ patch? 17:51 jcamins I agree with sekjal. I'd definitely recommend 3.2 beta. 17:51 sekjal it's nearly ready to be signed off as pure "3.2", and has TONS of new features over 3.0.6 17:50 sekjal mac2: I highly recommend 3.2 beta 17:50 mac2 hi all, I'm plan to change my library system to koha. I new to koha. Can someone recommend me which version should I use for now? should I go for 3.0.6 or 3.2 beta? 17:47 jcamins Hmpf? 17:22 cait hmpf 17:13 cait on train now, will be at home at 1:21 am (if nothing happens) *tired* 17:12 sekjal hi, cait 17:12 jcamins Hi cait. 17:12 cait hi #koha 14:30 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4289 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, oleonard, NEW, Add a syspref 'OpacNotPublic', to hide OPAC search-bar and force authentication on all OPAC pages 14:30 jcamins Genji: bug 4289 <- is that what you're asking about? 14:06 Genji Hiya. I think i need to authorize my user, without the use of C4::output... cause by that time, its too late for my needs. can I call checkauth from within my perl pl files? 13:43 * Braedon 's mind `splodes 13:42 * sekjal may be a figment of his own imagination 13:41 * jcamins is pretty sure he still exists, because otherwise who would be working on articles for his company's website? And wouldn't someone who didn't exist be less tired? 13:41 * Braedon can never shake the thought that sekjal is actually a figment of his imagination 13:40 * sekjal still exists... he thinks 13:40 sekjal Braedon: perhaps 13:38 Braedon probably time for bed... 13:38 * Braedon is alternately staring at his inbox and IRC client, awaiting further confirmation of the continued existence of the outside world 13:33 * Braedon had an assignment due 11:59 pm friday, so was not home till 12:30 am saturday 13:32 jcamins Oh, yeah, that would do it. 13:32 Braedon it helps to get up at 2pm 13:32 Braedon :P 13:31 jcamins I used to be coherent that late at night. 13:31 Braedon something like that... 13:31 jcamins Braedon: isn't it 1:37 in the morning on Sunday? 13:30 jcamins Wow! 13:30 Braedon but we were searching for hundreds(possibly thousands) of isbns over a list of almost 100 servers 13:29 jcamins I think reviewing more than a dozen changes at once would be too much, anyway. 13:29 Braedon we always had to run over night 13:29 Braedon a large number of the good servers kick you after 100 searches 13:28 Braedon especially if you have more than 100 isbns 13:28 Braedon if you are covering a lot of servers it can take quite a while 13:27 jcamins Yeah. I'd love to see a batch fetch script integrated into the staff client... choose a bunch of records and click "overlay from Z39.50," and then look over the results and decide whether or not to commit the changes. 13:26 * Braedon needs to remember to ask his previous employers if he can release the one he developed for them... 13:26 sekjal next step is to automatically add item info to the MARC records found 13:26 jcamins That would be really useful. 13:26 sekjal logic for that is still a little iffy, but the potential is there 13:25 sekjal it consults the targets you have set up, and can do multiple 13:25 sekjal I based on off the z3950_search.pl page already in Koha 13:25 sekjal I found it had a hard time with other targets 13:25 sekjal there was such a script published, not sure if it was Ted's. 13:24 jcamins I'm not sure if he published it anywhere. 13:24 jcamins Ted Lawless (from Columbia Law) has a script for batch-fetching records from LC. 13:23 sekjal I've got the ISBNs from the first bookshelf scanned (those that have them), so I can try running the batch fetch script I've been working on 13:23 jcamins Ah. Maybe next weekend. :) 13:22 sekjal jcamins: i wish. I've got some migrations/upgrades to run while it's quiet 13:22 jcamins sekjal: is today the day you set up Koha for your own personal library? 13:22 sekjal cool 13:21 jcamins I'm putting on my C & P hat. 13:18 sekjal jcamins: isn't it Saturday? whatcha doin' hangin' out in #koha? ;) 13:15 jcamins Does anyone have a demo of the 2.2.x staff client running? 13:15 jcamins On Debian that's libmodule-install-perl, I think. 13:14 jcamins Nur: if you're still around, try installing Module::Install. 10:32 Nur please help me to solve this problem 10:31 Nur Warning: No success on command[/usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=site] 10:31 Nur it says BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Makefile.PL line 1. 10:30 Nur when i run capn PDF::API2::Simple 10:29 Nur I can not install PDF::API2::Simple 10:28 Nur how are you 10:28 Nur hi all 05:55 CGI190 Is anyone up this time of morning? 05:20 awk1 i'm kinda new here... 05:20 awk1 hi 02:32 chris yep, but dont have any time to think about it, im busy doing a migration 02:32 Genji1 anyway, chris.... you been reading my problem with opac-main and creating an imbetween page? 02:28 chris yep, orcon peers 02:27 Genji1 wait.... if connection between exchanges died. .then id get disconnected from the server... unless i am on WIX.. and everyone else was not..? 02:27 Genji1 ah. hmm... 02:26 chris WIX 02:26 Genji1 Xnet is APE? katipo server is WPE? 02:26 Genji1 Orcon and Xnet were not cut out. 02:23 chris yeah looks like a big network outage for a bit there 02:22 brendan_l yeah mass kickage 02:22 Genji1 welcome back all. 00:54 sekjal like QueryWeightFields... 00:53 chris probably would have to test those out 00:53 sekjal so, instead of the one universal line in C4/Search.pm, it should check the QueryAutoTruncate syspref, and decide accordingly.... I wonder if the other Zebra sysprefs factor in... 00:51 chris yeah, it works much better if we actually tell zebra to use it :-) 00:50 sekjal I think that's easy enough to factor in... especially for such an improvement in relevancy! 00:49 chris so the patch will have to check that syspref, to be safer 00:49 chris right 00:49 sekjal auto truncate, instead of only with * 00:49 sekjal ah, that helps 00:43 chris maybe try turning that on 00:42 chris rtrn is right truncation 00:42 chris must be a systempreference we have different then 00:41 sekjal chris: when doing a keyword search in my system, the query is coming through as kw,wrdl: #searchterm, rather than kw,wrdl,rtrn= #searchterm 00:22 * brendan_l joined at the right time - I like setting cookies - - - in my belly 00:20 chris you do need to set the cookie first yes 00:14 Genji1 ah? I redirect after the output is done, in order to set the cookie? 00:10 Genji1 k. 00:10 Genji1 telling opac-main.pl to redirect to a page before output, ends up going back to auth, and not logging in. 00:10 chris that's what id have to do to tell you the answer, so you may as well do it yourself :) 00:09 chris read C4::Auth and C4::Output 00:09 Genji1 Hiya all. okay, question.... How does login work? how do i insert a page between logging in and the url the logged in state was going to, without disrupting the login process?
