00:58 glernil                reaffirmed Bug 2708
02:22 library_systems_guy262 does anybody know the page for integrating koha with drupal
02:23 library_systems_guy262 i know nengard showed it to us during the demo that she did
02:24 rangi                  its in the manual
02:24 rangi                  2 secs
02:24 library_systems_guy262 i just googled it real quick but i didn't get a first page return...i think that makes me a lazy googler
02:25 rangi                  http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual/?ch=x13383
02:25 library_systems_guy262 thanks rangi, you're the man
02:26 rangi                  no guarantees its will work :) but worth a try :)
02:27 library_systems_guy262 i hope it does, i spent the better part of a moving our old site to drupal
02:27 library_systems_guy262 week*
02:30 library_systems_guy262 rangi, do you know of anybody in particular that has pulled this off?

10:35 magnuse                \o
10:37 magnuse                say you have an install with 5 branches - is it possible to stop patrons at branch A from putting holds on items at branch B, but allow them to put holds on items from branch C?
10:39 druthb                 do you want patrons from A to be able to borrow items from B, at all?
10:39 magnuse                druthb: nope
10:40 druthb                 Then don't set up a circ rule for that.  If you can't borrow it, you can't hold it.
10:40 druthb                 Caveat, of couse, is that patrons from A need to be of a different category than other borrowers who *could*
10:41 magnuse                ah ha
10:42 druthb                 "Borrower from library A" is not part of the circ-map equation.  This is the sort of problem that consortia wrangle with, and --in Koha, and in other systems-- it usually gets solved by having a whole bunch of patron categories.
10:43 druthb                 It would not break my heart to see borrowers.branchcode be part of the circ-map equation, but that makes things pretty painful in setup.
10:44 magnuse                so if they were schools, you could have "pupil school a" and "teacher school a", and then only allow those two to check out anything from "library A"?
10:51 druthb                 correct.
10:51 magnuse                thanks!
10:51 druthb                 you bet!
10:51 druthb                 :D
11:02 kf_lunch               magnuse: transer limits?
11:03 kf_lunch               never used them, but I know you can set them up for combinations of branches
11:05 magnuse                i'm not sure i understand what they do "Check the boxes for the libraries you accept to checkin items from."
11:06 magnuse                seems it's only about what branches can do return on behalf of what other branches?
11:07 kf_lunch               hm

12:40 conan                  I'll have to code the suspension change myself... :(
12:46 magnuse                kia ora sekjal
12:46 sekjal                 howdy, magnuse!
12:48 hdl                    conan:  which suspension change ?
12:49 sekjal                 hdl: quick acquisitions question:  how does one mark an order as "paid for", independent of whether the material has been received yet or not?
12:51 hdl                    some development is done on that. either by Amit and osslabs, but we also are adding a status to order lines. So that it can be paid independently
12:52 hdl                    I haven't seen any code from osslabs, so I won't bet on that.
12:52 hdl                    And if there is it must have been done on HTPro.
12:52 sekjal                 hdl:  so with current master, there's no way yet?
12:53 hdl                    I don't think so.
12:53 sekjal                 hmmmm
12:53 * sekjal               tries to think of work arounds
12:54 kf                     sekjal: use one of the statistic value fields perhaps?
12:54 oleonard               Hi all
12:55 sekjal                 kf: that may be the way to go for now, yes
12:55 kf                     sekjal: only an idea, perhaps a stupid one, but if you don't use both for planning you could use one for "payment status"
12:56 sekjal                 can those be changed after the basket is closed and the order received?
12:56 kf                     no, not after closing
12:56 kf                     hm. do you need it on order line?
12:56 kf                     or per basket?
12:57 sekjal                 a basket and a bill may contain different line items
12:57 kf                     right
12:57 sekjal                 I think the correct solution is a new database table for invoices
12:58 kf                     fixing the calculation would be good too
12:58 kf                     we have some weird things going on in there
12:58 sekjal                 my grand solution is to merge vendors into borrowers, and merge acquisitons with the account system
12:59 kf                     not sure
12:59 kf                     vendors are different than borrowers
12:59 kf                     different fields
13:00 kf                     perhaps I just can't wrap my head around it right now
13:00 kf                     but not sure they are too different to be good wrapped into one
13:00 kf                     if that english makes any sense..
13:01 sekjal                 there are some additional fields to factor in
13:01 sekjal                 mainly how they do their pricing in what currency, any discounts or taxes
13:01 kf                     might get more over time
13:02 sekjal                 but the company and contact details fit perfectly into borrowers
13:02 kf                     I am thinking about notice templates
13:02 kf                     per vendor
13:02 kf                     claim conditions
13:02 kf                     perhaps relationships, have more than one table, more difficult to load data

13:13 gmcharlt               vendors are way different from borrowers
13:13 gmcharlt               sure, address and contact information has a similar structure from patrons
13:14 gmcharlt               but vendors don't log in the the catalog, they don't place hold requests, there are a lot of semantics that don't apply
13:14 sekjal                 true
13:14 sekjal                 but ILL libraries are already forced into the borrowers table
13:15 sekjal                 I think the core of institutions and individuals should be a shared structure
13:15 sekjal                 with the necessary additional semantics to meet the needs of the specific type of creature they may be
13:15 conan                  hdl: sorry, I went for a tea
13:16 conan                  hdl: we don't charge money here, we want suspensions to be days based
13:16 gmcharlt               sekjal: which in the case of vendors and patrons, are rather different
13:17 gmcharlt               a consistent representation of contact and address information is fine, and desirable
13:17 conan                  hdl: I haven't looked at it yet because there is an ugly hack working here, so it was not a priority
13:17 conan                  hdl: tcohen told me they had the modification, so I was hoping to pull his changes, but he's gone now and I'm going to need to implement something for suspensions, the ugly hack or something else
13:28 oleonard               I see some bug reports which imply that Koha used to hide the whole biblio from search results if all items were lost. Is that true?
13:37 kf                     sekjal: merging them into one table might make permission and search harder too
13:37 kf                     sekjal: I don't see the great advantage
13:38 sekjal                 I think I may be approaching it from a more theoretical angle than a practical one
13:38 sekjal                 in my mind, they're essentially the same objects
13:38 sekjal                 with some differing details
13:38 sekjal                 but this details are pretty important for the workflow of the system
13:38 gmcharlt               from a data structure point of view, yes, they're very similar
13:39 sekjal                 worse idea:  rip the whole thing out, and put in XML patron records.  then push it out to Zebra to index
13:39 gmcharlt               heh
13:40 gmcharlt               better/worse idea (though would lose compatiblity with databases other than postgres) - switch to Pg, then use table inheriteance
13:40 gmcharlt               core table has the the basic contact info/address structure
13:40 gmcharlt               children table can contain the vendor/patron specific parts
13:40 gmcharlt               and play their individual parts in the workflow
13:42 kf                     sounds cool, but the postgres limitationi s hard
13:42 wizzyrea               oleonard++ for answering that "no holds allowed" question
13:42 wizzyrea               I changed the text for that with jquery to "no items available"
13:42 druthb                 good morning, wizzyrea! :)
13:42 wizzyrea               mornin
13:43 indradg                morning wizzyrea
13:43 * conan                supports the pg migration idea
13:44 indradg                i'm seeing the value of "0" under "Renew (select all | none)" on the circulation page. what does this 0 signify?
13:44 conan                  indradg: there are 0 renews
13:44 conan                  indradg: it will change with each renewal
13:45 sekjal                 I think Postgres does some absolutely awesome stuff.  the Evergreen database structure is gorgeous
13:46 sekjal                 but I think we need to keep MySQL support
13:46 conan                  why?
13:47 wizzyrea               for the same reason that if we switched to solr we'd need to keep zebra support for a while
13:47 conan                  "keep" ne "keep for a while"
13:47 sekjal                 the more systems combinations Koha can run on, the wider the adoption
13:47 indradg                conan, however when I click on "Renew or return checked items" i'm getting renewal failed
13:47 conan                  of course any change will need support for some time for the old way
13:48 conan                  but I think we should be running away from mysql, like if our lives were in danger kind of run
13:49 conan                  indradg: does it say something else?
13:49 indradg                conan, nope
13:49 conan                  indradg: maybe you got a limit on your circulation rules for that kind of item
13:49 sekjal                 there will always be dependencies on other projects, and the politics of those projects could go any which way
13:49 conan                  indradg: check you don't have it in 0 for the column "Renewals Allowed"
13:50 sekjal                 building Koha for flexibility let's us adapt to whatever changes may come our way
13:50 conan                  does anyone here how to show those nice yellowish message that pop up when you try to do something forbidden?
13:51 oleonard               conan: You set some condition in the script, you add the HTML to the template and show it when that condition is met
13:51 conan                  I forbade several things and I would like to inform the logged in user about the situation
13:52 oleonard               conan: You'll need to set a template variable when the right condition is met
13:53 conan                  oleonard: should I learn Templating right away? I was hoping for something more ... err... aimed?
13:53 conan                  I've seen the yes/no messages, but I think the one I need is another kind of beast
13:53 oleonard               If you're already editing Perl scripts understanding template syntax should be easy
13:53 oleonard               What kind of beast?
13:54 conan                  that's what I need to know, which animal would do the job
13:54 oleonard               <div class="dialog alert"> Your message here </div>
13:54 conan                  oleonard: yeah, should, by I hate templates, I don't understand the reason for its existance in the first place, I'm fine with plain HTML
13:56 danmc                  conan:  based on your comment you'd suggest postgres instead of mysql for a new deployment?
13:56 oleonard               danmc: Koha doesn't support postgres properly yet
13:56 danmc                  ah
13:56 indradg                where do I search of the number of renewals permitted in 3.2.7?
13:56 danmc                  I'm still in the process of getting the required perl modules in place
13:56 oleonard               indradg: circulation and fine rules
13:57 indradg                oleonard, thanks :)
13:58 conan                  danmc: errm... no, from what I understand, I'm new here, postgres is not working ATM for koha
13:58 conan                  danmc: so you cannot deploy
13:58 conan                  with pg
13:58 hdl                    conan: some patch on master are fixing that.
13:58 conan                  hdl: suspensions?
13:58 danmc                  thanks.
13:59 hdl                    oleonard: I see some bug reports which imply that Koha used to hide the whole biblio from search results if all items were lost. Is that true?... If one item is lost with Hidelostitems on then the whole biblio is hidden
13:59 oleonard               hdl: That does not describe how it works now.
14:00 oleonard               ...unless I have my system set up incorrectly?
14:00 hdl                    conan: yes..
14:01 hdl                    How it works now : is you send back an item which is late.
14:01 conan                  hdl: thx, will check bugzilla later
14:01 hdl                    or more... Then it will use the biggest calculated fineindays and display... ppl debarred until ....

14:02 hdl                    (doing multiple things--)
14:03 conan                  oleonard: when I say in perl: $template->param(SomethingIJustMadeUp => 1)
14:04 conan                  I'm making up a condition?
14:04 conan                  so I just need to check for that in the template and I'm set, right?
14:04 oleonard               [% IF ( SomethingIJustMadeUp ) %] SomethingIJustMadeUp  is true! [% END %]
14:05 conan                  oleonard++

14:33 kf                     hehe
14:33 kf                     oleonard++
14:33 kf                     I was thinking about the reading history - we could get the title from deletedbiblios tables perhaps?
14:34 oleonard               kf, if you can figure out how to do it I'd be happy for my patch to be superseded.
14:35 oleonard               The issue, however, is not that the biblio has been deleted. Just the item.
14:35 conan                  oleonard: do you know Lea Verou? She has very nice works on CSS, lately she's been working on gradients, which would avoid the need for images ;)
14:36 oleonard               conan: Yes, there are lots of places where CSS3 could simplify things
14:36 conan                  oleonard: gimme a couple of weeks, leave some easy ones for me! I'm implementing now and doing ugly fixes we need ASAP
14:37 conan                  For example, now I need to establish a maximum for items to loan for all libraries
14:37 conan                  I'm testing and branch_borrower_circ_rules doesn't seem to do the job
14:38 conan                  what's the intention for that table then?
14:46 sekjal                 oleonard:  it's easy to use JQuery to mark a checkbox as 'checked' upon page load, right?
14:46 oleonard               Usually yes
14:46 sekjal                 provided it has the right markup to make it identifiable

15:16 hdl                    sekjal: as far as i know, the invoice table could come with the indian work.
15:16 oleonard               Yes, but in this case you'd have to add a parameter for each variable we wanted to use in the include

16:29 wizzyrea               well oleonard, a challenge: simplify the place hold process in the OPAC -- too many clicks according to my librarians
16:30 cait                   2 clicks to many?
16:30 cait                   s/too/to
16:30 wizzyrea               just too many, but yea probably two
16:30 wizzyrea               of course
16:30 wizzyrea               to reduce clicks
16:30 cait                   place hold, say yes this one
16:30 cait                   you don't allow item level holds?
16:31 wizzyrea               you have to assume that the pick up library is the same as the patron's home
16:31 * druthb               opens up an RFC for a Psychic Module for Koha.
16:31 wizzyrea               no, we don't
16:31 wizzyrea               i know right
16:31 cait                   hm
16:31 cait                   honestly, no idea how to reduce the clicks without hiding functionality
16:32 wizzyrea               yea, i see that too.
16:32 cait                   and we have place hold links in every place I can think of
16:33 cait                   hm
16:33 wizzyrea               ohh
16:34 wizzyrea               interesting bug
16:34 wizzyrea               when placing a hold
16:34 wizzyrea               the 1st time the hold priority is computed
16:34 wizzyrea               it counts all holds, including waiting ones
16:34 wizzyrea               when it goes in the list, it doesn't count those
16:34 wizzyrea               and apparently it's confusing

16:42 oleonard               wizzyrea: An idea from a while ago: http://www.myacpl.org/koha/?p=593
16:46 wizzyrea               oleonard! that's lovely :)
16:47 wizzyrea               here's another one from my librarians: scanning a book barcode in the check out box should renew the item if it's renewable
16:47 wizzyrea               (without looking up the patron)
16:48 wizzyrea               good idea? bad idea?
16:51 cait                   hm
16:52 druthb                 I think the overhead of that could be evil...
16:52 conan                  wizzyrea: looks interesting, but you have to go to the checkout box, then scan teh book... if you're already there, wouldn't be less fuss to just click?
16:52 conan                  you'll be switching tasks
16:53 conan                  is like when you are at the keyboard and have to go grab de mouse for something
16:54 cait                   wizzyrea: it sounds dangerous to me
16:54 cait                   ah
16:54 cait                   what if you have a library that has barcodes that can also be cardnumbers?
16:59 cait                   and nto sure if it will slow things down if koha has to search 2 tables from that field
17:17 oleonard               Our old system did the opposite as well: If you scanned a patron barcode in the checkout box it would switch to that patron
17:17 oleonard               But the system has to know which is which, and if your barcodes can be either one then it gets confusing
17:26 conan                  later
17:28 wizzyrea               conan: no, this is about scanning a book and not a patron card, no switching tasks. Other renewals can take place the regular way too.
17:28 wizzyrea               cait: interesting points, I thought about the speed issue too
17:30 wizzyrea               the alternative is to "do it like sirsi does" and have a renewal scan box
17:31 * oleonard             can't see any reason not to
17:32 wizzyrea               more scan boxes doesn't make you feel skeevy?
17:32 oleonard               I would add it in one place: On the circulation home page.
17:34 cait                   hm that sounds good to me

18:10 wahanui                it has been said that oleonard is the master UI designer of koha
18:11 cait_afk               oleonard is also an awesome bug wrangler
18:11 wahanui                okay, cait_afk.
18:12 oleonard               sekjal: The sad part is, that must have been broken forever.
18:13 * oleonard             is very grumpy about the loss of git blame history we lost in the move to T:T
18:13 wizzyrea               :/
18:13 rangi                  its still there
18:13 cait_afk               oleonard: you could check the line on the 3.2.x branch
18:13 rangi                  you can check it on master too
18:13 wizzyrea               cait is very smart
18:14 cait_afk               but seems like rangi has a better trick :)
18:14 rangi                  just checkout the tag that i made before merging in TT
18:14 * cait_afk             waves to rangi
18:14 rangi                  nothing is ever gone in git
18:14 * oleonard             does that, but doesn't like having to do so :P
18:15 * cait_afk             is really away no

18:15 druthb                 hi, rangi!
18:16 oleonard               rangi: If you have a suggestion for a better way to handle the T:T scoping issue in Bug 6364 I would love to hear it
18:16 huginn`                04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6364 normal, PATCH-Sent, ---, oleonard, ASSIGNED , Display of item availability broken on OPAC detail screen
18:17 oleonard               in short: the template variables in the include weren't properly scoped for the loop the include was embedded in
18:17 rangi                  dont have time to look im afraid, off to the airport soon
18:17 rangi                  ah yeah, declaring them is really all you can do in that process
18:17 oleonard               Airport? Business or pleasure?
18:17 wahanui                oleonard: That doesn't look right. Try 'airport code for CITY' or 'airport name for CODE' instead.
18:17 rangi                  before calling the include or as part of the include

18:19 rangi                  business, ok might be back from airport
18:19 * rangi                waves
18:19 oleonard               Yeah, too many variables in play I think
18:19 wizzyrea               bye rangi
18:31 sekjal                 I think the data types for aqorderdelivery.ordernumber and aqorderdelivery.deliverydate got mixed up
18:31 sekjal                 ordernumber seems to make more sense as a varchar(18) than as a date
18:31 sekjal                 and vice versa
18:54 cait_afk               sekjal: I agree
19:05 * Brooke               waves to skushner
19:06 skushner               hi brooke
19:19 wizzyrea               arg, just when I had a question for oleonard
19:20 Brooke                 there, there. It's not easy chasing someone that's part ninja.
19:21 cait                   lol
19:21 cait                   there there? :)
19:22 wizzyrea               it's a form of comfort words :)
19:22 cait                   I know that
19:22 cait                   :)
19:22 wizzyrea               sry couldn't tell :)
19:23 cait                   hehe
19:23 cait                   I know :) I am watching big bang theory right now - sheldon does that.
19:23 cait                   so it's not only sheldon?
19:23 wizzyrea               apparently not, as I've never watched big bang theory :)
19:24 * Brooke               looks innocent.
19:24 Brooke                 any resemblance to Sheldon is purely speculative.
19:24 cait                   aha!
19:32 * Brooke               thinks that Shah Rukh Khan could totally give the keynote at KohaCon.
19:32 Brooke                 he's a geek in secrecy. I'm certain.
20:13 wizzyrea               ha neat, double clicking the place hold button in the OPAC causes multiple holds
20:14 wizzyrea               http://screencast.com/t/x9KkfjlM
20:15 cait                   eek
20:16 wizzyrea               deleting one deletes them all
20:16 wizzyrea               they're functionally identical
20:16 cait                   hmhm
20:16 cait                   we should stopit
20:16 wizzyrea               :) yea, i think so
20:17 wizzyrea               I actually got it up to about 10 identical holds
20:17 wizzyrea               lots of clicking ^.^
20:23 sekjal                 wizzyrea:  nice to have that issue identified; I imagine it's a pretty easy fix
20:24 wizzyrea               :D I was happy to finally find out how that happened

21:01 library_systems_guy    hey guys i talked to rangi last night and he was telling me he only knew of one group that had successfully integrated drupal and koha
21:01 library_systems_guy    do you guys happen to know of anybody else?
21:02 library_systems_guy    i know the guide is in the manual
21:02 library_systems_guy    but im not sure if i should do the sopac install on the koha server or the drupal server
21:02 Space_Librarian        there are some developers here who have been thinking about it, but nobody's *actually* got around to doing it yet.
21:02 wizzyrea               oo
21:02 library_systems_guy    dang
21:03 * wizzyrea             idly wonders if anyone has ever done it on two different servers
21:03 library_systems_guy    i am wordering the same thing wizzyrea
21:03 wizzyrea               but
21:03 library_systems_guy    and if so how
21:03 wizzyrea               the people to ask
21:03 wizzyrea               are usually here in the US morning
21:03 library_systems_guy    the french guys?
21:03 wizzyrea               that would be paul_p and hdl
21:04 library_systems_guy    ok ill stalk them in the AM then
21:04 hdl                    what?
21:04 library_systems_guy    oh hey hdl
21:04 library_systems_guy    wizzyrea was telling me you were the person to talk to about drupal koha integration
21:05 hdl                    well, we did... It is not really drupal though.
21:05 hdl                    It is SOPAC.
21:05 library_systems_guy    right
21:05 hdl                    But yea... it works. and is in production.
21:05 library_systems_guy    nice :)
21:05 library_systems_guy    did sopac and koha exist on the same server?
21:07 hdl                    It may...
21:08 hdl                    We had to quite tweak sopac
21:08 hdl                    But it works
21:09 library_systems_guy    this sounds more and more interesting
21:09 library_systems_guy    are you part of the only group that has successfully done it hdl?
21:10 hdl                    I am part of the company who did it. And who propose services for that.
21:11 hdl                    But I personnaly only took little part in that... See how SOPAC works and that it could be nice if it could work with Koha.
21:12 library_systems_guy    oh ok, i guess ill dig a little deeper into sopac
21:13 hdl                    from a user point of view. There are some counterparts... Shpinx usage... where Solr could be a better choice... but it works.
21:15 library_systems_guy    i guess i haven't looked into sopac enough.  Is it just the catalog search engine that *CAN* pull results from Koha?
21:18 hdl                    well it is kind of OAI like... The catalogue enriches the database on a regular base.
21:18 library_systems_guy    oh i think i understand, like a mirror of the koha db when searching
21:18 hdl                    I would much favour integration into a portal using SRU/SRW and ILS-DI... fwiw...
21:19 hdl                    library_systems_guy: yep
21:20 library_systems_guy    thanks for all the tips hdl
21:28 hdl                    library_systems_guy: you can take a look there :
21:28 library_systems_guy    where is there?
21:28 wahanui                i guess there is no spoon.
21:29 hdl                    mmm... never mind... I thought there was a good axample of SRU integration.
21:30 hdl                    but find none
21:30 library_systems_guy    sad day
21:30 library_systems_guy    do you by chance work for biblibre
21:30 hdl                    Yes.
21:31 library_systems_guy    ahh ok so you guys are definitely the only company that i have found that has pulled this off
21:31 library_systems_guy    i looked for the demo you had posted and the blog but it was taken down :'(
21:47 hdl                    mmm.... library_systems_guy maybe you could look at sopac.biblibre.com
21:48 library_systems_guy    oh yeah that is much better lol
21:50 hdl                    i wish we could plug more OPACs.
21:51 library_systems_guy    i bet that would send a lot more money biblibre's way
21:51 hdl                    And we surely could, with blacklight or vufind...
21:52 library_systems_guy    I've read that blacklight is supposed to be very good
21:52 Space_Librarian        morning Irma
21:52 hdl                    library_systems_guy: we are running after money or customers first.
21:53 library_systems_guy    hdl, fair enough.  I mean really you have to in order to preserve your company
21:53 hdl                    We want the library... and users to get the product they want.
21:54 library_systems_guy    and inevitably what makes it easiest for the users to use
