22:54 gmcharlt  good
22:54 jcamins   I think that particular issue wouldn't cause any major problems. I don't believe there are any contexts where either letter could occur.
22:51 gmcharlt  and (not surprisingly) it looks like this could lead to ... interesting results if you stray out of Western European languages
22:50 gmcharlt  the problem (in this case) is that Evergreen uses a version of the NACO normalization algorithm as its default normalizer
22:50 jcamins   I can't say errors in the NACO normalization algorithms would surprise me, though.
22:49 gmcharlt  I assume so
22:48 jcamins   Hm. I guess they have to because not all systems can search on the diacritic?
22:47 gmcharlt  effectively treating i-kratkoe and I as the same character for matching headings
22:46 jcamins   gmcharlt: what's NACO doing?
22:46 jcamins   Instead it has a j.
22:44 jcamins   Macedonian does not have i-kratkoe.
22:44 gmcharlt  does make me wonder about the NACO normalization alogirthm, though; that's the context where this came up for me
22:43 jcamins   I'm trying to remember right now if there are any languages written in Cyrillic that don't have the i with the breve.
22:43 jcamins   You're welcome.
22:42 gmcharlt  jcamins: thanks for confirming my suspicion
22:42 jcamins   In transliteration i with a breve is sometimes normalized to plain i.
22:41 jcamins   I would think.
22:41 gmcharlt  so a library catalog that treated them as the same character for searching purposes would be doing the wrong thing, I take it?
22:40 jcamins   Definitely not done.
22:40 gmcharlt  jcamins: ^^
22:40 pastebot  "gmcharlt" at 68.101.78.67 pasted "Russian diacritics" (1 line) at http://paste.koha-community.org/109
22:39 jcamins   gmcharlt: I know Russian, but those came through as question marks.
22:39 gmcharlt  anybody about who can answer a question about Russian?  specifically, I want to know if it is legitamate to normalize ? to ? or if that is just Not Done
22:26 cait      now shutting laptop down - good night all
22:25 cait      we have that
22:25 cait      ok :)
22:25 munin     jcamins: The operation succeeded.
22:25 jcamins   @later tell cait And it always helps to use a bit of vanilla extract, if you have it.
22:25 jcamins   If you have any hard liquor on hand, that's a good choice.
22:24 cait      ok, battery low
22:24 jcamins   Anything that uses an alcohol-based flavoring.
22:24 jcamins   I think in Europe the brand is Nido. I only ever saw it in one place.
22:24 cait      what's a good flavour for beginners?
22:23 cait      not sure you buy milk powder here. never seen it.
22:23 cait      or milk powder
22:23 jcamins   Ah.
22:23 jcamins   No. Dry milk powder.
22:23 cait      yep, but have to go to the bigger store for the sweetened condensed milk :)
22:23 jcamins   Actually, if you don't have sweetened condensed milk, you can even use powdered milk.
22:23 jcamins   It's easy enough to buy chocolate, sugar, and sweetened condensed milk. :)
22:22 cait      need some ingredients :)
22:22 cait      if I can persuade my friend to go shopping with me
22:21 cait      perhaps I will try your recipe this weekend
22:21 cait      hehe
22:21 jcamins   Actually, I tried a bunch earlier, and it was delicious, but it was also about 90 degrees Celsius.
22:20 jcamins   It was hot.
22:20 jcamins   I'm not quite sure what it is- fudge... caramel... taffee... something else...
22:20 cait      you offer it to us before trying?
22:20 jcamins   It's delicious.
22:20 jcamins   cait: you just inspired me to try a piece.
22:13 cait      yumm
22:13 cait      chocolate rasperry fudge?
21:29 brendan_l oh hey jcamins
21:22 jcamins   Greetings, brendan_l
21:21 * jcamins wonders again why he doesn't live in CA.

18:53 mib_jtnln Bye.
18:53 mib_jtnln Thank you!
18:52 jcamins   Good luck.
18:51 mib_jtnln have a nice day friend!
18:51 mib_jtnln i appreciate your help!!
18:50 mib_jtnln ok, thanks a lot!
18:49 jcamins   mib_jtnln: yes.
18:47 mib_jtnln maybe i have to login in SSH
18:47 munin     rhcl: pianohack was last seen in #koha 3 days, 20 hours, 38 minutes, and 57 seconds ago: <pianohack> Yeah, sounds right
18:47 rhcl      @seen pianohack
18:46 munin     jcamins: pianohack was last seen in #koha 3 days, 20 hours, 38 minutes, and 43 seconds ago: <pianohack> Yeah, sounds right
18:46 jcamins   @seen pianohack
18:46 jcamins   mib_jtnln: I've never used cpanel.
18:46 munin     rhcl: Error: 'pianohacker' is not a valid nick.  That nick is too long for this server.
18:46 rhcl      @seen pianohacker
18:46 mib_jtnln i have cpanel 10
18:46 jcamins   In that case you probably just need to ask your host how to log in through SSH.
18:45 jcamins   Hm.
18:45 jcamins   With cpanel?
18:45 mib_jtnln i´m logged as root
18:43 jcamins   I think you'd need to have root access to install some of the software that Koha requires, like Zebra.
18:41 jcamins   I don't know if it's possible to install Koha on a shared server. Probably not.
18:40 jcamins   It sounds like you might have shared hosting.
18:40 mib_jtnln ok
18:40 mib_jtnln i understand
18:40 jcamins   mib_jtnln: you'd have to ask your service provider.
18:40 jcamins   I don't think you can install Koha using cpanel.
18:40 mib_jtnln how can i enter to OS? I use a web server
18:39 jcamins   mib_jtnln: cpanel is a control panel for managing web servers. You must be running it on an Operating System. Probably some version of Linux like Debian or Red Hat.
18:39 cait      sorry, I don't know how that works
18:38 mib_jtnln buy i cant know how can execute de installer
18:38 mib_jtnln i´m logged into a cpanel
18:37 cait      on which os?
18:37 mib_jtnln i want to install koha
18:35 jcamins   mib_jtnln: what are you trying to do?
18:35 cait      mib_jtnln: which os?
18:34 jcamins   Unfortunately, none of them helped.
18:34 cait      :)
18:34 jcamins   Then I thought about Makefile.PL.
18:34 jcamins   cait: yeah, I was too.
18:34 cait      I was thinking about that one
18:33 cait      then you are right
18:33 jcamins   cait: I only see *install*.pl.
18:33 cait      but it's not supposed to be run
18:33 cait      there is
18:33 mib_jtnln but, i´m installing from cpanel
18:33 jcamins   I don't think there is an installer.pl file.
18:33 jcamins   I was thinking of Makefile.PL
18:33 mib_jtnln ok, thanks jcamins
18:32 jcamins   Wait, no, I was mistaken.
18:32 jcamins   I'm pretty sure it's installer.PL (notice the capitals)
18:32 jcamins   I think you may have misspelled installer.pl, though.
18:32 mib_jtnln can you help me pls??
18:31 jcamins   mib_jtnln: just run the command.
18:28 mib_jtnln hi friends, i woul like to know how can i execute: perl installer.pl
18:06 briceSanc bye all ! Have a good week end !
17:44 gmcharlt  briceSanc++
17:40 briceSanc jcamins, yes it's a general problem
17:18 jcamins   briceSanc: is this a problem elsewhere in Koha, too?

17:09 cait      hi jcamins and ivanc
17:09 ivanc     hi cait
17:03 jcamins   Hi cait.
17:02 cait      hi all
16:05 magnus    gotta run - have a nice weekend all!
16:02 magnus    cool!
16:01 briceSanc kf, magnus, ok! thanks all! i begin to code for the patch... ;)
16:00 magnus    briceSanc: i think it is some kind of temp storage used during installs or something. just ignore it as kf said
15:59 jcamins   kf: have a nice weekend.
15:59 kf        bye all and have a nice weekend!
15:59 kf        ok, time for the weekend :)
15:58 kf        no changes required
15:58 briceSanc ok
15:58 kf        I think it's something from git
15:58 kf        briceSanc: you can ignore it
15:58 briceSanc Do you know what is the folder blib/ ? Do i need to make change in it in order to submit a patch ?
15:56 magnus    briceSanc: looks like an argument for using a module to do the job...
15:56 kf        owen?
15:52 briceSanc magnus, munin, we have : print "{ jobID: '$jobID' }";  instead of : print '{ "jobID":"' . $jobID . '"}';
15:52 jcamins   Hm.
15:52 ibot      i don't know, jcamins
15:52 jcamins   ibot: owen?
15:52 jcamins   owen?
15:51 magnus    briceSanc: cool
15:50 briceSanc magnus, munin, i have the answer : all JSON in Koha are malformed, i will create a patch to fix that
15:43 magnus    ;-)
15:42 kf        perhaps a medium if
15:42 * jcamins doesn't know anything about it, he was just translating
15:42 kf        ok, should..
15:42 kf        if you only want to open returns... it should be not so bad
15:42 kf        because that's the return subroutine in C4
15:42 kf        jcamins: in this case.. not so much
15:32 magnus    then i moderated myself a bit
15:31 jcamins   kf: magnus thinks that you're overly optimistic.
15:31 magnus    first i was going to say "that's a big if"
15:31 magnus    hehe
15:31 kf        you confuse me
15:31 magnus    slightly smaller than a "big if"...
15:31 kf        a good sized if?
15:28 munin     magnus: The current temperature in Bodo, Norway is -9.0�C (4:20 PM CET on November 26, 2010). Conditions: Partly Cloudy. Humidity: 68%. Dew Point: -14.0�C. Windchill: -17.0�C. Pressure: 30.36 in 1028 hPa (Steady).
15:28 magnus    @wunder bodo, norway
15:28 magnus    that's a good sized "if" ;-)
15:28 kf        would probably need another syspref to check
15:27 kf        if that's the only place it's perhaps not very difficult to add it
15:27 kf        yep
15:25 magnus    "todo"... ;-)

15:24 magnus    hm
15:23 kf        magnus: I think I found it - looks like there is no option for kmkale with indy branches on
15:22 magnus    i'll probably have to run soon too
15:22 magnus    yup
15:20 kf        now he was gone fast
15:20 kmkale    god night
15:20 kmkale    problem for tomorrow
15:20 kmkale    right thanks kf and jcamins & magnus
15:19 kmkale    in my case canreservefromotherbranches is set to allow and AutomaticItemReturn  is set to Do
15:19 kf        perhaps looking at the code that checks will be best
15:19 kf        they don't fit completely
15:19 kf        but I am really not sure .(
15:19 kf        no, candidates that could change something
15:18 kmkale    its 3 sysprefs working together you mean?
15:17 kf        it's a syspref
15:17 kf        perhaps: HomeOrHoldingBranch /  AutomaticItemReturn / canreservefromotherbranches
15:17 kmkale    but what turns this on?
15:17 kmkale    this is interesting "AutomaticItemReturn    Do	  automatically transfer items to their home branch when they are returned."
15:17 kf        kmkale: sorry, didn't relly find something :(
15:16 kmkale    back
15:14 jcamins   I was going to renew my membership in SLA, but the fact that they don't have a secure website for taking my credit card information is making me question whether that's really a good idea.
15:13 kf        jcamins: the item-level itypes is another problem :(
15:12 jcamins   kf: we use biblio-level itemtypes. Now that you point it out, I see that of course it doesn't work.
15:11 kf        it's something different
15:10 magnus    briceSanc: i would guess the bug is really for 1.4.x - the newest version... - if you report your experience there it might help with testing
15:10 kf        hm no
15:09 kf        kmkale: I have some notes from very early koha testing, perhaps HomeOrHoldingBranch checking it now
15:09 kf        so yes, you could, but a separate search limit would be great
15:09 kf        and it requires to have an extra item type for serials  and using item type in advanced search instead of collections...
15:08 kf        serials module
15:08 kf        jcamins: if you use serials you can have serials without items at all
15:08 kmkale    kf that would be a great help
15:08 munin     04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5447 enhancement, P5, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, Limit search to serials / continuing resources
15:08 jcamins   kf: can't you limit by item type (looking at bug 5447)?
15:07 kf        kmkale: perhaps there is a syspref for that - let me check (being able to return at other branches)
15:05 munin     briceSanc: Error: "thanks!" is not a valid command.
15:05 briceSanc munin, thanks! but we need 1.4.3 fonctionnalities of jQuery
15:05 kmkale    good. will talk to the consortium members we have too. they will have better experience in this i think..
15:04 jcamins   kmkale: I agree.
15:03 kmkale    so i think any damage done will have to intentional

15:03 magnus    briceSanc: see bug 5184
15:03 kmkale    good point about the log in jcamins
15:03 jcamins   kmkale: I'm not sure. I've never used circulation.
15:02 jcamins   Also, I don't see how someone could *accidentally* log in with a different branch. On my installations, it defaults to "My Library," which means that you have to intentionally change it to log into a different branch.
15:02 kmkale    this is the first time I am having to deal with co-operating branches
15:02 kmkale    also are items returned at other branch are marked as in transit or something?
15:01 jcamins   (if I understand correctly how branches work)
15:01 kmkale    hehe :)
15:01 jcamins   kmkale: actually, my point was that they can do just as much damage.
15:01 kmkale    by mistake of curse..
15:00 kmkale    humm so you think they wont be able to do much damage?
15:00 jcamins   kmkale: aren't biblio records shared by all branches? I thought it was only items that are branch-specific.
14:59 briceSanc magnus, i understand. jQuery 1.4.3 works great on koha except with JSON :s
14:58 kmkale    like log in to *wrong* branch and start making modifications to biblios etc..
14:57 magnus    briceSanc: sorry, no experience with replacing jquery...
14:57 magnus    hm, i think that is a risk you have to take... ;-)
14:56 kmkale    My worry is if I turn off  IndependantBranches  the branch staff may start meddling in other branches inadvertently :(
14:55 magnus    kmkale: i think so - if they are serving patrons who "belong" to other branches they need to be able to do most of the same things they can with "local" patrons
14:55 kmkale    without  IndependantBranches   if I try to return a book at some other branch I get "This item must be checked in at the home library NOT CHECKED IN"
14:55 kf        perhaps you get a transport message - I am not sure. We don't have brnches at the moment and not using independantBranches
14:55 kf        hm, but I woul test it
14:54 kf        I am not sure about that - but perhaps yes
14:54 kmkale    then does it also give the library staff the same rights in other branches as they have at their own branch?
14:54 kf        have you tried it?
14:53 kf        because with independant branches they don't exist at the other branch
14:53 kf        kmkale: I think so
14:48 kmkale    a small query, if we want patrons to borrow and return at any branch we have to turn off IndependantBranches?
14:47 briceSanc Did you ever try to replace Jquery 1.3.2 by jQuery 1.4.3? Have you had problems with JSON?
14:45 kf        hi briceSanc

09:16 magnus    ouch
09:13 kmkale    the last time I saw snow was in dec 2006 visiting london. got a frostbite on my cheek just walking to the tube station :(
09:11 magnus    yeah, that's the two good things about snow: it can look pretty and it does make dark winter days lighter...
09:06 kmkale    must be an amazing site
09:05 kf        magnus: yep, it makes the day a bit lighter too
09:03 magnus    kf: bet it's pretty, then
