Cool! 14:32 CGI314 basically simple problem was to disable selinux and no one dnt tell me this easy thing 14:32 jcamins janPasi: actually, you need to modify the Perl script. 14:32 jcamins It's in... 14:32 CGI314 my company fired me because of this stupid community only 1 minute problem 14:33 jcamins Oh, hm. 14:33 CGI314 SO stop misguiding people if you dnt know exact solution 14:33 jcamins It's in C4::Biblio. 14:33 jcamins CGI314: I think you are in the wrong channel. 14:33 CGI314 i am in right channel Jcammins koha irc 14:34 CGI314 i am just suggesting you if you dnt know answers then no need to misguide people i think so it was chris 14:34 jcamins janPasi: one moment, I'm trying to see if I can figure out how to do this. 14:34 janPasi err...? 14:34 janPasi so which script is that? 14:35 * jcamins is still looking to figure out what's going on... 14:35 jcamins janPasi: you could disable it by modifying C4/Biblio.pm. 14:35 jcamins But that would also disable it in the intranet view. 14:36 janPasi jcamins: I think it would still need to be in intranet view 14:36 jcamins Yeah, I know. Right now I'm trying to think of a way to deal with this. 14:37 Sussan hello 14:37 Sussan any one used virtual keyboard 14:38 jcamins janPasi: I don't know how to do it without disabling the view on the intranet, too. 14:38 Sussan in search ,advance search opac site 14:38 janPasi jcamins: ok, thanks anyway 14:39 jcamins If you use a standard formatting for 561 fields (for example, "Ownership inscription:...") you might be able to have JavaScript hide it. 14:40 Sussan Jcamins do you have any idea regarding using virtual keyboard enabling 14:40 jcamins But I don't think 561 is usually used as a standard. 14:40 jcamins Sussan: no, sorry. 14:40 jcamins I just switch my keyboard when I want to use a different script. 14:41 Sussan How you switch can you tell me. 14:41 jcamins Just in Windows. 14:41 Sussan jcammins i am talking about koha 14:41 Sussan in search , adsearch can i embedd virtual keyboard option 14:42 jcamins Sussan: yes, I know. But whenever I want to enter something other than English, I just switch keyboards. I have never used a virtual keyboard. 14:42 Sussan ok thanks sorry before i couldnt get your point :) 14:44 janPasi here's an example of how 561a is used: http://koha.kepa.fi/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=5002 14:44 janPasi the last line (that says "Kulttuuriosuuskunta Uulu - Soitinkokoelma.") is 561a 14:45 jcamins janPasi: I don't think there would be any way to hide that with JavaScript, unfortunately. 14:49 janPasi jcamins: ok, we'll just have to live with it then 14:49 jcamins janPasi: this is a terrible solution, but the only thing I can think of if you need this *now* would be to put a subfield 5 at the beginning of each 561, and try and use JavaScript to hide that. Like this: 561 ##$5gmc$aKulttuuriosuuskunta Uulu - Soitinkokoelma. 14:50 jcamins As I said, terrible solution, but if this is really important, that might be an option. 14:51 janPasi ok, i'll have to ask how my collagues feel about that 14:51 janPasi how can i make 561a searchable? 14:51 jcamins janPasi: yay! 14:51 jcamins A question I can answer. :) 14:52 jcamins One moment and I'll give you the exact instructions. 14:52 janPasi cool :D 14:53 jcamins Hm. Why are mine not searchable anymore? 14:54 jcamins (rhetorical question) 14:54 janPasi yeah, i figured it was rethorical 14:57 jcamins After line 154 in etc/zebradb/marc_defs/marc21/biblios/record.abs add "melm 561[tab]Note:w,Note:p 14:57 jcamins Without any quotes. 14:58 janPasi what's [tab] in that? 14:58 jcamins Hit the tab key. 14:58 jcamins My IRC client uses the tab key for autocomplete. :) 14:58 jcamins Then you need to rebuild_zebra.pl -r -b 14:58 janPasi ah, ok :D 14:59 janPasi should i maybe but 561$a because that's the subfield we need? 14:59 janPasi but=put 14:59 jcamins Yes, that would make sense. 15:00 janPasi ok, let's see if that worked 15:01 janPasi hmm... strange 15:01 janPasi rebuild_zebra.pl says nothing 15:02 jcamins Good news. :) 15:02 jcamins Try a search. 15:02 janPasi rebuild hasn't completed yet 15:02 jcamins Oh. 15:02 jcamins Well, wait until it has, then. ;) 15:02 janPasi i remembered that it used to output dots or something 15:02 janPasi maybe i was wrong 15:03 janPasi ok, it completed 15:03 janPasi works, thanks a lot :) 15:04 jcamins You're welcome. 15:04 jcamins I need to submit a patch. 15:04 jcamins Well, several patches. 15:04 CGI297 I know Kyle HAll has posted the steps to upgrade his VM appliance of koha, but there's also this tempting menu option "upgrade Koha" when you ssh in as root - Does anyone know if that is to be trusted? 15:04 jcamins Or possibly one big patch adding index for all the archival fields. 15:04 jcamins CGI297: I don't know, sorry. 15:05 chris_n very nice: after switch to mariadb, all mysql dbs are still intact, accessible, and usable 15:05 jcamins Yay! 15:06 * chris_n will now runs some tests 15:06 chris_n I'm not sure what tests... 15:07 CGI297 thanks jcamins; I guess that's why they make VM snapshots. ;) I'll report back what I find 15:08 brendan morning all 15:08 chris_n heya brendan 15:08 wizzyrea mornin brendan 15:08 chris_n hi wizzyrea! 15:09 * chris_n starts with a zebra rinindex 15:09 chris_n reindex, even 15:10 jcamins LC's catalog is down? 15:10 jcamins Ick. 15:17 chris_n zebra reindexed ok 15:19 chris_n check-in/check-out works 15:20 chris_n gmcharlt: a few quick checks seem to indicate that mariadb appears, indeed, a drop-in replacement 15:20 gmcharlt cool 15:20 chris_n installation from deb packages might be a bit rough for the uninitiated 15:30 chris_n trying out a fresh installation 15:33 chris_n that works nicely 15:33 chris_n gmcharlt: any suggestions on particular areas to test? 15:34 gmcharlt session management, for one 15:34 gmcharlt largish operations, like staging and importing a big batch 15:40 Barrc Anyone know how to create a new search index in 3.006? I need to remove a certain tag from the general search and create a new index on its own.....is this possible? 15:42 jcamins Errr... nice chatting? 15:44 jcamins Barrc: yes. 15:45 jcamins The field will still show up in keyword searches, but you can create a separate index so that people can use prefixes. 15:45 Barrc jcamins: I got booted from the server just then, so I missed any responses...... 15:45 jcamins Fortunately I hadn't typed my response yet. 15:46 jcamins The "yes" was to say "it's possible." 15:46 jcamins The next bit was to explain the limitations. 15:46 Barrc Oh! Thanks....... 15:46 jcamins And now I'll explain how to do it. 15:46 Barrc Please! 15:48 jcamins The short version is, you're going to need to edit etc/zebradb/biblios/etc/bib1.att to add a new index, edit etc/zebradb/marc_defs/marc21/biblios/record.abs to change what index the field you're interested in is getting indexed in, and edit etc/zebradb/properties.ccl to add a search prefix. 15:48 jcamins Then reindex with rebuild_zebra.pl -b -r 15:50 jcamins I can give you more precise instructions if you need, if you tell me which field you want to move to a separate index, and so forth. 15:51 Barrc I was heading in the right direction myself, it seems. Althought I couldn't quite figure out some of those files. I need to move the contents field to its own index and out of any other index. So 500, and/or 505 15:51 jcamins Okay, you'll want to move the 505. 15:52 jcamins If you move the 500, you'll still end up with all the notes in the same index. 15:52 jcamins ;) 15:53 jcamins So you'd add something like (from memory, so you'll want to check the files to make sure I have the syntax right) "att 7095 contents" to bib1.att 15:54 jcamins Then change the "melm 505 Notes:w,Notes:p" to "melm 505 contents:w,contents:p" (or you may need to add that line) 15:55 Barrc OK, with you so far.... 15:55 jcamins Then add to ccl.properties "Contents 1=7095" (or whatever number you chose) and "con Contents" 15:55 jcamins Then rebuild zebra. 15:56 jcamins To search with that, use con:whatever 15:57 Barrc Great....are there any docuements on this? The website has a brief mention of these files but no examples, it mentions a diagram but it isn't shown anywhere 15:57 jcamins There's a way to add that to the dropdown in the searches with jQuery, but it's not on the wiki. 15:57 jcamins Barrc: no, I don't think there is any documentation. :( 15:57 wizzyrea jcamins: did you do that with jquery? 15:58 jcamins wizzyrea: yeah. 15:58 * wizzyrea notes that we should add it to the cookbook 15:58 jcamins Yes. 15:58 wizzyrea ^.^ yay! 15:58 * wizzyrea runs around in a circle squealing "I'M HELPING!!!" 15:59 jcamins $("select[name='idx']").append("<option value='adate'>Auction date</option><option value='Host-item,wrdl'>Journal title</option>"); 15:59 wizzyrea hm. perhaps a bit too much time spent with my 2 year old 15:59 jcamins wizzyrea: :) 15:59 jcamins Oh, by the way, welcome back. 16:00 jcamins Recovered from your jetlag? 16:00 wizzyrea oi, no 16:01 wizzyrea was up until like 3am last night 16:01 jcamins Barrc: to clarify, you should adjust that to match your new index. 16:01 wizzyrea (10ish or something NZ time) 16:01 jcamins And that should be surrounded by the document.ready thing. 16:01 wizzyrea forced the kiddo back into bed around 3am after a snack. 16:01 Barrc OK, I think I should be fine from here.....I may write something up too, if I sort it out!

Would you have a link that I can use? 17:35 jcamins reva: no, but Googling might help. 17:36 jcamins To clarify, CMS=Content Management System. 17:36 jcamins It will be different for each different Content Management System. If you're using Joomla, that would be the one to look into. 17:58 reva Ok, I will. thanks. Also, is there ar button with a label "ready to check out?" that when you click it which triggers the scanner to turn on ? 17:58 owen reva: In Koha? Your web browser can't control your scanner. 17:59 reva so what will be the trigger for sef-checkout? 17:59 wizzyrea um, normally people set the scanner to always on for that sort of thing 17:59 trea reva: you should be able to configure the scanner itself to sit in automatic mode (ie, always scanning) 18:00 wizzyrea ^^ 18:00 trea that is based on the model of scanner you have 18:00 jcamins That has nothing to do with Koha, though. 18:00 wizzyrea the code to scan to enable it is usually in the manual 18:01 reva Thanks. 18:01 wizzyrea the manual for the scanner, i should say, not the koha manual. 18:17 reva Thanks wizzyrea. 18:18 wizzyrea yep :) 18:24 seneca Anyone have experience with getting Koha to send emails? 18:25 seneca my server can send emails just fine from the command line, but I can't get Koha to send anything 18:25 seneca though I very probably have missed a step 18:26 seneca is there a global "enable email" checkbox or a line in a config file? 18:28 wizzyrea hrmm 18:29 seneca my thoughts exactly ;) 18:30 seneca I saw in some google search result that there might be cronjobs to set, but I haven't seen what those might be 18:30 brendan seneca yes look at your cronjobs 18:30 brendan and also under koha > tools> notice/status/triggers 18:30 seneca cronjobs as which user? 18:31 brendan cronjobs usually are under the koha/misc/cronjobs 18:31 brendan your kohauser 18:32 owen seneca: Although it depends on which kind of email you're trying to send. Emailing a cart, for instance, should happen right away (no cronjob) 18:32 seneca you mean the user "koha" or the user that koha is runnign as? 18:32 seneca at this point, I'm trying to get any email to work, so I suppose let's try for non-cron emails first. :) 18:33 jcamins seneca: the latter. 18:36 seneca hrm...looks like the cart function isn't working... (I just upgraded to 3.2) All you do is click on the cart button to view the cart, right? 18:37 jcamins seneca: if you don't have anything in your cart, it won't do anything. 18:37 seneca I've got three things 18:37 jcamins Hm. 18:37 seneca hold on.. 18:38 wizzyrea the cart works on mine which is tracking master 18:39 seneca yeah, I got it... 18:39 wizzyrea maybe you have very aggressive pop up blocking? 18:39 wizzyrea oh cool. 18:39 seneca ok, the emailing of carts works 18:40 seneca how about the emailing of hold being set to the librarian - is that a cron send? 18:43 brendan emailing of the hold to librarian - doesn't work 18:43 seneca ah - a not-there-yet feature. eh? 18:43 seneca that would explain that 18:44 seneca to your knowledge, do the fines and due dates email work? 18:50 chris yes, i have libraries using those in production 18:50 chris once you have the cron jobs running 18:51 seneca oh! I just ran the process_message_queue script and the holds emails were delivered! 18:51 seneca I guess that does work now 18:51 seneca and is apparently a cron send ;) 18:52 seneca is there a recommendation for how often to run that script or is it just up to the user? 18:52 chris up to the user 18:52 chris i run it every 15 18:52 reva hi, i am reading the question on emaililng the cart. Mine has problems emailing (I am operating from Koha 3.0.6). Where do I set the pop-mail server info? 18:52 seneca cool 18:55 chris you dont, pop is for fetching email reva 18:56 munin New commit(s) kohagit: Merge remote branch 'kc/new/bug_5227' into kcmaster <http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=commitdiff;h=b2fa851ccaca0d61d5de6c35752d368f540fb02e> 18:56 reva ok chris, where do I set a mail server address to send the mail out. That is why my cart email does not work? 18:58 jcamins reva: you'd have to set up a mail server on your computer. That's not really a Koha thing, though. 18:58 jcamins (on your server, I mean, not your desktop) 18:59 reva Congrats on 3.2. I have the Live Cd version of it in the virtual box now. It looks good with all the clone working on the subfields. And my colors are desert adobe with nutmeg. 19:03 reva jcamins, we have a government mail server; so there is nothing I have to do from inside Koha the email my cart? (So I need to set my Ubuntu to the mail server address?) 19:04 reva Because my Koha is running on an Ubuntu server. 19:05 jcamins reva: I think there was just a discussion about this on the mailing list. You need to have someone way of sending e-mail from your Koha server. Which means you need a mail server. 19:05 jcamins Here. http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Koha-devel-koha-mail-configuraiton-help-td3059408.html 19:06 reva Thanks, jcamins. I will read through and contact the people in the department for it. 19:06 jcamins (that was the tenth result on Google for "koha send email," in case you were curious) 19:09 richard hi 19:15 reva Ok, I am seeing this as the solution for us (though I do not understand postfix): Koha relies a lot on the mail functions of the server. For example I have my server running postfix and set to send email through another mail server. 19:15 jcamins reva: yes, that is correct. You need to make sure you are able to send e-mail from the server. 19:16 jcamins You'll probably want to look online for documentation on how to set up a mail server. 19:17 wizzyrea hey richard :) 19:18 reva Ok, I will let the correct people know here so they can do it. I will look for the suggested documentation to set up. As I said, we run our current hard disk installed Koha on Ubuntu server 10.04 and the 3.2 Live CD runs on Ubuntu 10.10. So it should be possible to set it up as mail server. I think. 19:20 mib_mike reva I just got here. Can you restate your problem 19:28 reva hi mib_mike, I wanted to set up my OS so that it can send email from Koha. My 3.2 is running on Ubuntu 10.10 19:28 mib_mike reva are you getting errors, or are you starting from scratch? 19:29 reva I am starting from scratch. 19:29 mib_mike reva: I'm running the same system you have. 19:30 mib_mike is postfix installed on your system? 19:30 reva Ok, so how would I install postfix so that my Ubuntu can connect to our government mail server and send email? So that Koha that is inside can send emails. 19:31 reva No, not yet. Is it a package I can have downloaded and installed? 19:31 mib_mike what happens when you run "ps -ef | grep postfix" at your command line? 19:31 reva Because the system minimal packages installed, I do not think that it has postfix installed. 19:32 reva I will try it now. 19:33 reva Hold on for a second, I have to boot into my system. 19:33 mib_mike O.K. also do you know who provides your smtp service? 19:35 reva It comes up with abbs 2375 2371 15:49 pts/0 00:00:00 grep postfix. Does that mean it is not installed?:) 19:35 mib_mike Well, it's not running, anyway. 19:35 reva not off the top of my head, I have to check with the government agency. 19:36 reva so what would I do to start it running? 19:36 mib_mike what about "ls -l /etc/init.d/postfix " 19:36 reva let me try listing 19:37 wizzyrea ubuntu? sudo /etc/init.d/postfix start, usually 19:37 reva Let me pipe it through less and read and tell you as a lot scrolled by. 19:38 mib_mike It shouldn't have been more than one line. 19:38 jcamins reva: if you entered the line that mib_mike suggested, you should have one or zero lines. 19:38 jcamins If you got more, try retyping. 19:39 reva There is so ls cannot access it because no file or directory. 19:39 mib_mike So yeah, you'll have to install it. 19:39 reva ok, so is it a package I go looking for? 19:40 reva or use wget to get it? 19:40 mib_mike sudo apt-get install postfix 19:40 mib_mike yes, it's a package 19:40 reva ok, I am doing it just now 19:41 reva it says postfix is not available. The Live CD builder trims the packages down, so that it can inside one CD. So I have to probably fetch it from an ftp site. 19:42 wizzyrea sudo apt-get install postfix would probably do it 19:42 mib_mike apt-get should be able to fetch stuff. 19:42 mib_mike You didn't boot from the cd, did you? 19:43 reva I still get no candidate as response. 19:43 reva No, this is hard disk install. 19:43 wizzyrea does the server have internet access? 19:44 reva And my virtual box install is also boots from the virtual hard disk. 19:44 mib_mike I'm a bit rusty here, but you probably have to modify the package sources 19:44 jcamins I don't think so. 19:45 wizzyrea surely not for postfix 19:45 jcamins http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/postfix 19:45 mib_mike I'm sorry, I mispoke. 19:45 mib_mike https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine 19:45 mib_mike I mean repository sources. 19:50 mib_mike Note the "future versions area" We're past hardy and intrepid already 19:51 reva jcamins, I have noted it down and try it tommorrow. Thanks mib_mike and jcamins. One more week!:) 19:51 reva Again Koha 3.2 is slick. Congrats Koha. 19:52 jcamins reva: what I was saying with that link is that if you are unable to install with apt-get, there is a problem with Ubuntu on your computer. 19:52 reva ok, I see. may be I have to go into source.list and tweak that? 19:53 mib_mike The source.list is how apt knows where to find packages 19:53 reva But I have no problem it running, no error messages. So I am not sure. 19:53 mib_mike It's possible that your source list is very restrictive. 19:54 reva Ok, maybe that has some other address other than the standard address for fetching packages? 19:54 mib_mike No, postfix is a standard package. 19:54 mib_mike You might have a "non-standard" source list. 19:54 reva Ok, it could be. but I did sudo and it asked for the root password. So I should be able to run commands using the list. 19:55 mib_mike It's also possible you've got some other problem. 19:55 mib_mike sudo shouldn't ask for the ROOT password, it should ask for YOUR password. 19:56 reva Ok, I will try and modify it tomorrow as they are closing for the day. Thanks and bye everyone. Sorry I misspoke; that was my password. 19:56 mib_mike sources.list is a configuration file for apt that tells apt where on the internet it can look for packages. 20:20 mib_mike I'm getting a software error in koha 3.02 when adding a new order to a basket 20:20 mib_mike Mandatory parameter budget_id missing at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Acquisitions.pm line 903 called from acqui/addorder.pl 20:22 chris 3.2.0 or 3.0.2 20:22 chris it always confuses me when ppl leave out . 20:22 mib_mike koha-3.02.00 20:22 chris ta 20:23 chris ppl kept writing 3.00.02 as 3.02 20:23 chris so now i always have to ask :) 20:23 chris ah right 20:23 mib_mike No problem. 20:23 chris have you defined budgets etc? 20:23 chris and is this a brand new basket, or one that came across in the upgrade? 20:24 mib_mike Well, it was working in 3.00.06. I get the same error adding orders to new baskets or old ones. 20:24 brendan what does the kc stand for in the new branches that are appearing? 20:25 mib_mike Actually I should say I get AN error in either case. I don't know it's the same one. 20:25 chris right, acquisitions changed totally 20:25 jcamins brendan: Koha Community? 20:25 chris brendan: koha-community 20:25 brendan ha - that was easy 20:25 chris means i merged it from git.koha-community.org 20:25 chris you might see some galen/something 20:25 chris or fbcit/something 20:25 chris if i merged from someone else's repo 20:26 brendan fb = facebook ;_ 20:26 brendan :) 20:26 chris mib_mike: can you check your budgets etc, make sure they are all set up? 20:26 gmcharlt chris_n: old nicks are forever, I see ;) 20:26 chris :) 20:26 chris they live on as remotes 20:26 chris :) 20:27 mib_mike I've got budgets. 20:27 mib_mike one is listed as both active and locked. 20:28 mib_mike I'm not much of a user. What does that mean? 20:28 mib_mike Hmm. It looks like the end date of that budget has passed. 20:29 chris i suspect that is the problem 20:29 chris could you change it 20:29 chris see if that fixes it 20:29 mib_mike In fact, the end date of ALL my budgets seem to have passed! 20:29 chris and if so, lodge a bug 20:29 chris because the error message should be 20:29 chris "You have no valid budgets" 20:29 chris or something that is actually useful :) 20:30 mib_mike Thanks, chris. I wil 20:46 chris ok, im outta here 20:48 wizzyrea farewell 20:49 jcamins Bye. 21:44 robin http://awfullibrarybooks.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/How-Pigeons-Pay-002.jpg <-- Oh they will, they will pay! 22:55 jcamins xml_querying_with_reports++ 22:58 chris_n lol robin 23:07 jcamins Does the timestamp get updated when you select a record? 23:10 jcamins Never mind. 23:10 jcamins I was in the wrong database. 23:18 chris_n only on inserts/updates 23:37 jcamins Yeah, that was a dumb question. I couldn't figure out why I was missing bibs 6-100, but it turns out that's because I deleted them. 23:46 * jcamins has forgotten his SSH passphrase 23:47 jcamins Bother. 23:55 jcamins Hm. 23:55 jcamins What's with the questionmarks that have appeared in the cataloging module? 23:56 jcamins Ohhh. 23:56 jcamins Help.
