22:05 wizzyrea          @later tell oleonard: This made me laugh, and you may laugh too: http://vimeo.com/19131028
21:17 cait              good idea :)
21:17 wizzyrea          Tell the librarians hi from us :)
21:17 cait              good luck with training :)
21:17 cait              lol
21:16 wizzyrea          it's a rangi sighting!
21:16 * rangi_stdc      goes back to training
21:16 * wizzyrea        blinks
21:16 rangi_stdc        heya cait
21:16 huginn            rangi_stdc: The operation succeeded.
21:16 rangi_stdc        @later tell eythian i think we are missing the message_transport table data (or something like that)
21:16 cait              hi rangi
21:15 rangi_stdc        eythian: about?
21:07 wizzyrea          seems like searches with single letters *should* work with stemming though...
21:07 wizzyrea          I think we're ok for now, searches with single letters work again
21:06 cait              I am not entirely sure - could check my settings at work tomrorow
21:04 wizzyrea          stemming !like ICU
21:04 wizzyrea          oh that could be
21:04 cait              examples perhaps
21:04 wizzyrea          or how to look to see if it's already a bug
21:03 wizzyrea          I can't even begin to know how to put that in a bug report
21:03 cait              I think stemming does not work with icu - but not sure
21:03 cait              ah
21:03 wizzyrea          with stemming off, they work marvellously
21:02 wizzyrea          bring back no results
21:02 wizzyrea          titles such as "the duke and I" or "an apple a day"
21:02 wizzyrea          we were having trouble getting results for titles that had single letters
21:01 cait              I only tested it very shortly a long while ago
21:01 cait              hm
21:01 wizzyrea          (if stemming is on)
21:00 wizzyrea          curious: what am I losing by turning of query stemming, in a practical sense? (I understand things like exception would bring up except)
20:53 sekjal_away       goodnight, #koha!
19:15 wizzyrea          ah k
19:05 rhcl              So that works "mostly".
19:05 rhcl              A search for "K is for killer" produces the correct title at the top of a list, followed by 7,320,201 totally irrelevant items.
19:05 rhcl              wizzyrea: going back and looking at your earlier question:
18:47 gmcharlt          slef: you're welcome
18:47 slef              gmcharlt: thank you!
18:47 slef              gmcharlt: *dances* I might think people should avoid Google/Yahoo/AOL, but let's at least make G/Y/A do some user registration for us :)
18:45 jcamins_away      Oh, looks like I already reported this bug.
18:45 gmcharlt          slef: yes, we can have this on the k-c wiki tonight
18:44 jcamins_away      Nope.
18:43 jcamins_away      I can do that on this server, too.
18:43 jcamins_away      Oh, wait.
18:43 jcamins_away      slef: yeah, I'll do that when I'm at home.
18:42 slef              jcamins_away: grep the frameworks sql?
18:42 slef              ooh, I like the look of this http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Special:OpenIDLogin can we have it on the k-c wiki?
18:32 jcamins_away      Bigger question: is the 751 even included in the frameworks that come with Koha?
18:29 jcamins_away      Is the 751 field authority-controlled?
18:24 kohaneew          thx
18:24 kohaneew          ok
18:20 jcamins_away      I keep on meaning to file a bug report that that's confusing.
18:19 jcamins_away      Not "uneditable."
18:19 jcamins_away      The lock indicates authority control.
18:19 jcamins_away      Yes.
18:18 kohaneew          i did the change but i think the lock is still there but the field seem editable
18:15 kohaneew          ok let me take a look at that
18:15 jcamins_away      kohaneew: you need to change your syspref "BiblioAddsAuthorities" (or something like that).
18:15 kohaneew          i'm having a problem with adding a book, when i try to access to set  "100 ? - MAIN ENTRY--PERSONAL NAME − " the field is locked not editable
18:13 cait              hi kohaneew
18:11 kohaneew          hey, how yalll?
17:44 wizzyrea          i like it when that happens
17:44 wizzyrea          ^.^ yay!
17:44 rhcl              thanks all! removes a line item from my complaint checklist!
17:43 rhcl              OK, under checkout policy, got it by search
17:40 wizzyrea          I got bit by that local-use thing a few days ago
17:40 wizzyrea          in the search
17:40 wizzyrea          when i searched for "renew"
17:39 wizzyrea          http://screencast.com/t/j8qqPLUUPJv
17:39 jcamins_away      rhcl: check Local Preferences... the syspref search can get a little wonky and miss those.
17:39 rhcl              harumpff
17:39 wizzyrea          it must be in there rhcl
17:39 wizzyrea          oh yea def not that new
17:39 rhcl              3.03.00.010
17:38 wizzyrea          I didn't think it was that new
17:38 * jcamins_away    should probably remember. But he doesn't.
17:38 wizzyrea          maybe?
17:38 wizzyrea          jcamins_away: I don't know!
17:38 jcamins_away      I added a couple of *Override sysprefs very recently.
17:37 jcamins_away      wizzyrea: is that the one I added?
17:37 wizzyrea          are you on
17:37 wizzyrea          what version?
17:37 wizzyrea          nope, we are on koha
17:37 rhcl              are you still on harley? We can't quite follow you for this on our system
17:34 wizzyrea          you can just search "renewal" too
17:33 wizzyrea          under circulation preferences?
17:32 wizzyrea          ?
17:32 wizzyrea          AllowRenewalLimitOverride
17:32 rhcl              we don't see "allow renewal override"
17:27 rhcl              perfect perfect
17:27 wizzyrea          that way staff can override, but patrons can't
17:26 wizzyrea          set
17:26 wizzyrea          then make sure that you have the pref for "allow renewal override"
17:26 wizzyrea          that has 0 renewals
17:26 wizzyrea          add a rule for your ILL itype
17:26 wizzyrea          administration -> circ and fine rules
17:25 rhcl              yes yes, how to do?
17:25 wizzyrea          so only staff can override
17:25 rhcl              how do we enable "false"
17:25 wizzyrea          you can certainly set rules that make ILL itypes non-renewable
17:25 wizzyrea          true, depending on your setup
17:24 rhcl              "Patrons are able to renew their inter-library loans themselves when logged into their account on the OPAC"
17:24 rhcl              True or False:
17:23 rhcl              to/do
17:23 rhcl              and my librarians to have grief with the differences when searching using "the"
17:22 rhcl              I don't specifically remember that I asked about anything like your two examples
17:21 wizzyrea          would you get a result in your catalog
17:21 rhcl              I know that with the word "the" for search will change results when used/not used
17:21 wizzyrea          if you were to search for something like "the duke and I" or "K is for killer"
17:21 wizzyrea          heh
17:21 rhcl              is that a multiple choice question? I can't remember if I said that.
17:17 wizzyrea          rhcl did you tell me you were having trouble with the title search in koha?
16:15 rhcl              we did the bookcrossing thing once a number of years ago--got some interesting reports
16:15 Ahmuck-Sr         well, back to work
16:14 wizzyrea          ah ya letterboxing
16:14 Ahmuck-Sr         or letterboxing
16:14 wizzyrea          where you can trace your tag from geocache to geocache
16:14 wizzyrea          rhcl: how funny, kind of like those geocaching tag thingies
16:07 rhcl              http://www.bookcrossing.com/
15:56 Ahmuck-Sr         one of the best books i picked up at a coffee shop, a "pick up take with you read and then drop off somewhere else" book
15:54 Ahmuck-Sr         is there a way to connect private library collections via koha?
15:54 rhcl              Is anybody working on bug 2495?
15:54 huginn            04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2495 enhancement, P3, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, Currently no way to correct a typo in an authority controlled bib tag $a in Koha
15:54 rhcl              huggin: go fetch me bug 2495
15:51 rhcl              Ahmuk: yea, they should
15:51 wizzyrea          ^^
15:51 gmcharlt          indirectly some do via their friends groups
15:51 * Ahmuck-Sr       watched the video
15:51 wizzyrea          maybe they should
15:50 Ahmuck-Sr         i'm surprised that libraires don't have fund drives like PBS
15:49 Ahmuck-Sr         ah
15:47 wizzyrea          NExpress is the NEKLS shared automation system
15:47 wizzyrea          nope
15:47 Ahmuck-Sr         separate from NEKLS ?
15:47 wizzyrea          hehe that's fun
15:47 Ahmuck-Sr         ah
15:47 Ahmuck-Sr         eventually when i got older i asked if i could buy the book and they let me, as no one had checked it out in 8 years
15:47 wizzyrea          horton is in NExpress
15:46 wizzyrea          hehe
15:46 Ahmuck-Sr         there was this book in Horton, that i would always check out.  seemed i was the only one.  it showed you how to build this device where you put your hands on it and  it makes your hair stand up like in science class
15:46 Ahmuck-Sr         ya, i was aware u were liz :)
15:45 wizzyrea          :)
15:45 * wizzyrea        is from NEKLS
15:45 * wizzyrea        recognizes yet again what a small world it is
15:45 wizzyrea          !!!
15:45 wizzyrea          46 publics
15:45 wizzyrea          Ahmuck-Sr: you'll really love this then: http://boingboing.net/2011/03/04/california-libraries.html
15:43 * Ahmuck-Sr       has considered opening a private library
15:42 gmcharlt          but it wouldn't surprise me if there were at least a few libraries in the US were fine money is keeping a staff member employed, or mkaing the difference between being open five days a week instead of four
15:42 Ahmuck-Sr         how many libraries are in the NEKLS system?
15:42 * Ahmuck-Sr       grew up in the NEKLS system
15:42 gmcharlt          so ... yes, in an ideal world, libraries shouldn't (or shouldn't have to) consider fines as part of their budgets
15:41 gmcharlt          so a lot of libraries get caught in the problem of being asked to provide more services at exactly the same time that they are getting less tax revenue
15:40 gmcharlt          on the other hand, a lot of libraries see an increase (sometimes a significant one) in usage during recessions
15:40 gmcharlt          political issues in some cases
15:40 gmcharlt          as far as loss of public moneys?  lot's of reasons, including consequences of the recession that have it a lot of states and localties hard
15:39 gmcharlt          to characterize it as a lack of public interest in education?  not necessarily
15:39 gmcharlt          and entertainment reading is a valid one
15:39 gmcharlt          libraries serve a lot of public needs
15:38 Ahmuck-Sr         btw, last time i was at the library, seems like a lot of pulp fiction.  i can recall attending the library and learning all types of scientific material.  i assume the public is no longer interested in education?
15:37 Ahmuck-Sr         perhaps a pbs raise for the library fund option?
15:36 Ahmuck-Sr         why less public support
15:36 gmcharlt          than they used to (or ought to)
15:36 Ahmuck-Sr         commercialization comes in all forms, usually small at first
15:36 gmcharlt          more accurate, at least in the US, is that a lot of public libraries are getting less tax and public support
15:36 gmcharlt          Ahmuck-Sr: that's too strong of a statement
15:36 Ahmuck-Sr         so were commercializing our libraries?
15:35 wizzyrea          in an ideal world
15:35 wizzyrea          sure
15:35 Ahmuck-Sr         it's almost like we "hope" they get fines
15:35 Ahmuck-Sr         shouldn't fine revenue be "extra" rather than a budget base for income?
15:34 wizzyrea          certainly some
15:34 wizzyrea          not all of it
15:34 Ahmuck-Sr         is library revenue based on fines?
15:34 wizzyrea          mhm
15:34 wizzyrea          mym
15:33 Ahmuck-Sr         [2011-03-10 09:25] <SharonNEKLS> That did it!  My libraries will be happy to know they can see how much $$ they brought in yesterday - really?
15:32 rhcl_away         what's the token separator for entering tags in the OPAC?
15:21 * druthb          smiles happily.
15:18 SharonNEKLS       works even better if I group by cardnumber...thank you!
15:16 SharonNEKLS       That did it!  My libraries will be happy to know they can see how much $$ they brought in yesterday
15:15 SharonNEKLS       will do
15:15 druthb            hm....instead of the date= clause, try date >= DATE_SUB(NOW(),INTERVAL 1 DAY)
15:14 druthb            (To mysql, that's a different word.")
15:14 SharonNEKLS       if I put in date BETWEEN '2011-03-03' AND '2011-03-06'  it works.
15:14 SharonNEKLS       OK
15:13 druthb            Try with accounttype= "Pay" instead of accounttype="PAY".  Spelling counts.  ;-)
15:13 SharonNEKLS       nope, nada back on that one in Koha.
15:13 druthb            You got nothing back, right, SharonNEKLS?
15:11 SharonNEKLS       see anything obvious? A difference b/w Harley and Koha, maybe?
15:11 SharonNEKLS       SELECT round(Sum(accountlines.amount),2) AS 'Fines Paid', borrowers.cardnumber, borrowers.surname, borrowers.branchcode FROM accountlines LEFT JOIN borrowers ON (accountlines.borrowernumber=borrowers.borrowernumber) WHERE (accounttype = 'PAY' ) AND date = (now() - interval 1 day) GROUP BY borrowers.branchcode
15:11 SharonNEKLS       Hi all. One of our libraries would like a Fines paid report in Koha. I tried tweaking the one I created in Harley yesterday, but somehow broke it.
15:10 wizzyrea          mornin :)

04:40 kmkale            bug 5847
04:23 kmkale            running 3.03.00.019 with perl 5.10.1 on ubuntu 10.10
04:17 kmkale            I can see a www-data owned background job running but the browser is stuck at 0% and no entries in the db :(
04:16 kmkale            trying web import with chromium.
04:13 eythian           yeah, I'm not really surprised by that
04:11 kmkale            ok. It did not import items for isbn matches. Thats too bad..
03:54 kmkale            and I must manually check on duplicate number of isbn's to see if 11659 is correct
03:54 kmkale            but something fishy about the items
03:53 kmkale            looks like it added 11659 biblios and 15103 items. running zebra rebuild. lets search and check after that.
03:48 kmkale            15052 MARC records done in 220.646286010742 seconds that was fast. lets check about items now
03:47 mtj               yep
03:47 eythian           Someone� should give it an option to merge.
03:47 mtj               i have had occasional 0% glitches with the web import
03:47 eythian           ahh, I understand your question now. I don't think it does that.
03:46 mtj               try a diff web-browser too
03:46 kmkale            so no items added? the web based one has an option to still add items.
03:46 kmkale            :(
03:46 mtj               yeah, eythian++
03:45 mtj               ahh, its an isbn *skip* option....
03:45 kmkale            ok. running it now. on a test db :)
03:45 mtj               kmkale:  it looks like it should, from the code
03:45 eythian           I don't think it will, according to the documenation. It'll skip those ones.
03:44 kmkale            Wanted to know if bulkmarcimport.pl will still add items for a bib match found on isbn
03:43 kmkale            I checked in db. No entries in either biblio, biblioitems, items tables with the web based manage-marc-import.pl.
03:43 eythian           I don't know why it'd get stuck though
03:42 eythian           kmkale: it should still add, just not add things with a matching ISBN
03:42 kmkale            This time when I try to de duplicate with isbn rule, it refuses to move beyond 0%. Left it overnight but no go
03:41 kmkale            thing is I have always used the web based manage marc records stuff.
03:40 mtj               pass, ive never seen the isbn flag, must be new
03:35 kmkale            does anyone have an idea about while doing bulk import using bulkmarcimport.pl if I use -isbn does it still add items?
03:34 kmkale            hi space_librarian

01:01 eythian           that's exactly who I was trying to think of, I got stuck at Keith Rogers, knowing that wasn't right
01:01 mtj               pssst: keith richards
01:00 eythian           Oh. He looks like the start of a rock musician who's going to end up 60 and made of leather. (trying to think of an example, but failing.)
