03:33 Amit_Gupta heya chris ;)
03:33 Amit_Gupta good morning koha ;)
03:34 rangi hi Amit_Gupta :)
03:44 phlunk3 rangi, just before I start this vm setup, can you confirm that 10.04 server version will be fine? and also is 32bit fine or do I need the 64 preferably?
03:45 rangi id do 64 bit
03:45 rangi because one day you may want to give it more than 3gig of ram
03:46 phlunk3 its just a small school and the server is dedicated to koha, u think it could need more than 3gig of ram?
03:46 rangi who knows, but doesnt hurt to let it have the possibility
03:49 phlunk3 tx rangi, sorted :)
03:49 phlunk3 you are chris btw?
03:49 rangi yup
03:50 phlunk3 how long have you been working on this system? I havent even had a chance to see it yet, but hopefully will get some time after this upgrade to see what the system does.
03:50 phlunk3 never really dealt with this sort of system in my past jobs.
03:50 rangi since september 99
03:50 eythian he's pretty much a newbie
03:51 rangi heh
03:52 phlunk3 also, I take it if I install through the ubuntu package that updates in the future are going to be very pain-free?
03:52 eythian ideally
03:52 rangi id probably use the ones at debian.koha-community.org
03:52 rangi those are better tested than the ones in the ppa
03:52 phlunk3 thanks
03:52 rangi for production anyway
03:53 rangi id appreciate the ubuntu ones being tested tho, if you have any dev environments
03:53 rangi they *should* be the same ... but launchpad does some trickery
03:53 phlunk3 Im afraid I am currently down to a single laptop :(
03:54 rangi ah
03:54 rangi heres a good tutorial
03:55 rangi http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Setting_Up_Koha_in_Virtual_Environment_%2B_Using_That_as_a_Development_Environment
03:55 rangi for setting up a koha dev env in a vm
03:55 rangi if you ever need to
03:56 phlunk3 thx

05:07 cait morning
05:16 francharb hello #koha
05:18 cait morning francharb :)
05:56 kmkale Hi, can anyone tell me how I should go about applying this bunch of patches for Analytic Records and then using the same? http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/new/awaiting_qa/analytical_records
06:11 kf good morning #koha
06:14 hdl hi kf
06:15 kmkale I want to test this branch http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/new/awaiting_qa/analytical_records It seems to be based on old templating system. Is iit possible to do so from a system which is currently tracking master?
06:15 kf hi hdl and kmkale
06:15 kmkale i kf hdl
06:16 kmkale *hi :)
06:18 hdl kmkale: if you want to test that on template toolkit, you may translate the templates... http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Template_toolkit_translation_tools
06:18 hdl Consider rebasing them over the latest templates.... And even over the queued patches.
06:19 kmkale yay.
06:20 kmkale so the steps are like this? 1) create a new local branch tracking the remote origin/new/awaiting_qa/analytical_records branch
06:21 kmkale 2) use template_toolkit_translation_tools to translate templates
06:21 kf kmkale: I think there is a way to convert, a script
06:21 kf but because they are quite old now there might be still a lot of conflicts
06:21 kmkale 3) make upgrade as usual
06:21 kmkale 4) test???
06:22 kf http://lists.koha-community.org/pipermail/koha-devel/2011-April/035416.html

11:01 Barrc Does anyone have any suggestions how to upgrade from 2.2.7 to 3.4.2?
11:02 Barrc The 2.2.7 version is complete vanilla with no customisations or modifications.
11:02 Barrc How would dropping the 2.2.7 database into t a vanilla 3.4.2 install work, and then running the web installer?
11:03 rangi nope
11:03 rangi http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Upgrading_2.2
11:04 Barrc yeah, I have seen that. It takes about moving to 3.0 and an inplace upgrade.
11:04 rangi follow that to get it to 3.0.x and from there you can go to 3.4.2 (following the upgrade information in the INSTALL file)
11:04 rangi right, thats what you have to do
11:04 Barrc I really need to migrate which is what I should have said - sorry
11:04 rangi right you cant
11:05 rangi you'll need to make a copy of your 2.2.7 install it, upgrade it
11:05 Barrc hum, maybe if I build 2.2.7 on the new server and go from there.....
11:05 rangi yup
11:05 Barrc oh well - t'will be tricky - thanks!
11:07 rangi once you get it to 3.0 you can dump the db, load it in
11:07 rangi the webinstaller will then do most, but you do need to run one other script, its documented in the INSTALL file
11:08 rangi and good luck :)
11:11 Barrc thanks
11:15 slef Barrc: and if you get completely stuck, we're next door in Scotland and England ;-)
11:16 slef but what rangi is basically the way
11:16 slef what rangi says, even
11:17 Barrc slef: ha, you might regret that, I'll be on the boat with server in hand!
11:18 slef Barrc: heh, better than us going the other way!
11:19 slef I wonder if the HSS is still on Holyhead-Dublin and Stranraer-Belfast
11:21 Barrc Certainly Holyhead to Dublin/Dun Laoghaire still goes, I use it often
11:25 slef Barrc: cool. They took it off Harwich to Hoek van Holland, saying that fuel cost too much.
11:26 slef I don't like boats but catamarans are OK, even that big.
11:27 Barrc Anything as long as it doesn't fly will do me!!
11:31 slef wish I could agree ;-)
11:33 * rangi goes to sleep cya's tomorrow
11:34 slef bye rangi!
11:38 kf ah, now he is gone
11:38 wahanui i already had it that way, kf.
11:39 kf forget ah
11:39 kf forget... I hav eno idea
11:58 JesseM Good Morning!!!!

12:32 oleonard nengard: I wonder if I'm doing it wrong
12:33 nengard oleonard, let me try it on master - i only had time to take the partner's word for it on that one
12:51 oleonard nengard: Regarding Bug 6612, better to display the note itself in the dropdown rather than the code associated with it?
12:51 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6612 enhancement, P5, ---, oleonard, NEW , sort pulldown for messages in alpha order
12:58 kf hi JesseM :)
12:58 kf hi oleonard and nengard
12:59 JesseM Hi kf!
13:03 nengard oleonard - agree
13:04 nengard but it's sometimes a sentence and that's long for a pull down
13:04 nengard but if you can truncate it :)
13:04 nengard maybe truncate it and put the code in parense after it
13:04 nengard parens
13:05 oleonard I made a comment on the bug regarding that: The maximum length of the authorised_value is the same as for the description, so potentially the length of each could be the same
13:05 oleonard It's really just a choice of the librarian to use something shorter for the authorised_value (or not)
13:06 talljoy Morning all! I am looking for the name of the script to import authority records into koha. Is it bulkauthimport.pl?
13:06 kf bulkmarcimport with -a as option
13:07 talljoy so bulkmarcimport.pl -a filename ?
13:07 kf hm not sure about the option, but it has documentation
13:07 talljoy okay on the wiki?
13:07 jcamins_away talljoy: something like that.
13:07 kf try -h
13:07 kf or --h
13:07 jcamins If you run bulkmarcimport.pl without any arguments, that'll do it.
13:08 talljoy do i need to specify a file name?
13:08 jcamins talljoy: not if you want help. :)
13:08 * jcamins hasn't had breakfast yet.
13:09 * talljoy is still sucking down her first cup of coffee
13:09 oleonard nengard: Here's an example that shows a maxed-out description length: http://www.screencast.com/t/h2WQbzeHiWR
13:10 jcamins "Attention! You must fill out this online form now!!! PS- our server is shut down until the fall."
13:11 oleonard Poor server needs a vaycay.
13:12 nengard oleonard that works
13:12 nengard but some libraries might want that code in there too - I'm not sure
13:12 nengard (I don't need it) :)

13:54 Carl Hello!
13:55 oleonard Hi Carl
13:55 Carl I have a question about a missing "Save"-button in the Koha admin
13:55 Carl under "Staff client"
13:56 wizzyrea question?
13:56 Carl And this is a opportunity to try this Koha chat
13:56 oleonard /cgi-bin/koha/admin/preferences.pl?tab=staff_client ?
13:57 Carl well, I made some changes under "intranetcolorstylesheet"
13:57 oleonard I do find that the save button is partially obscured by the language chooser. Do you have translations enabled?
13:58 Carl hm, well, I don't think so
13:58 Carl can you describe in more detail?
13:59 oleonard Carl, you would have had to manually install translations and enable them
13:59 oleonard Carl, what version of Koha are you using?
14:00 Carl 3.3 a think
14:00 Carl I think
14:00 oleonard Carl, you see no "Save all Staff Client preferences" button at the bottom of the page?
14:00 Carl and I'm a very new user...
14:00 wizzyrea just curious, what changes did you make to the intranetcolorstylesheet
14:00 Carl precisely, it disapeared
14:01 Carl som bad changes I guess...
14:01 Carl a copied a code from a forum
14:02 wizzyrea can you paste it here?
14:02 oleonard Paste it here if you still have it: http://paste.koha-community.org/
14:02 * wizzyrea wonders if you could negate the offending css using firebug then undo it
14:02 wizzyrea so you had a save button
14:03 Carl yes
14:03 Carl and than it went away
14:03 Carl inline styles */ #login h1 { background:url("http://www.myacpl.org/sites/all/themes/npl/logo.png") no-repeat scroll center top transparent; } #login h1 a { height:71px; }
14:03 Carl maybe some part is missing
14:03 oleonard that looks familiar
14:03 * wizzyrea giggles
14:03 Carl ok?
14:04 * jcamins was just about to say it was familiar, too
14:04 wizzyrea (we laugh because oleonard wrote that post)
14:04 wizzyrea ;)
14:04 Carl :-)
14:05 Carl well, the problem is that I want to delete it
14:05 Carl before our IT staff comes back from vacation
14:05 oleonard Carl, did you put that in intranetcolorstylesheet or in IntranetUserCSS?
14:05 Carl in intranetcolorstylesheet
14:06 wizzyrea oooo
14:07 Carl I should say that I'm just an ordinary librarian, trying to learn the back end stuff
14:07 wizzyrea everybody starts somewhere :)
14:07 vfernandes hi Koha community :)
14:07 wizzyrea hi vfernandes
14:07 Carl yes, indeed
14:08 wizzyrea in my experience there are no 'ordinary' librarians.
14:08 Carl but, is there maybe an "undo" function in Koha?
14:08 oleonard Carl: That stuff should have gone into the IntranetUserCSS pref instead. However, I can't duplicate your problem event if I put it in intranetcolorstylesheet
14:08 Carl ok
14:08 vfernandes one question... i'm using koha 3.2.6 and in the detail page if the record title as " the catalogue toolbar doesn't appear correctly
14:08 Carl maybe you didn't get the full code
14:08 Carl oleonard
14:08 wahanui oleonard is, like, the master UI designer of koha or an awesome bug wrangler
14:09 oleonard Carl: I also find that if I clear the intranetcolorstylesheet form field and hit enter with the cursor still in the field the form submits
14:10 Carl hm, not for me
14:10 wizzyrea which browser?
14:11 Carl Firefox 5.0.1 Mac
14:11 Carl but I have tried om PC with IE also
14:12 jcamins Carl: try this: use the syspref search function to search for Intranetcolor
14:12 jcamins Do you have a save button on that page?
14:12 jcamins (on the search results page, that is)
14:13 * oleonard can submit with enter in IE8
14:14 Carl ok, wait
14:14 Carl no save button
14:15 Barrc help! - just got Koha 2.2.7 up on a server with a view to upgrade, however I can't figure out the search/indexing - anyone remember it?
14:15 Carl ahhh, thank you jcamins!!
14:15 wizzyrea searching faq?
14:15 wahanui searching faq is at http://koha-community.org/documentation/faq/searching/
14:16 oleonard that won't help with 2.2.7 though
14:16 wizzyrea oh true
14:16 oleonard There wasn't any indexing in 2.2.7, just brute mysql
14:16 * wizzyrea read that 2 as a 3
14:16 Carl no save button, but I was able to use the enter cursor as oleonard suggested
14:16 wizzyrea is it working now?
14:16 Carl yes!
14:16 wizzyrea great!
14:16 Carl thank you!
14:17 jcamins Barrc: do you mean *3*.2.7?
14:17 Barrc Nope - 2.2.7
14:17 Carl I will surely use this chat again!
14:17 Barrc I need to migrate it to 3.4
14:17 Barrc but I can't do an in place upgrade
14:17 wizzyrea isn't there ~/kohaclone/misc/migration_tools/rebuild-nozebra.pl
14:17 Barrc so I have to start with 2.2.7 on the new server, then import the existing 2.2.7 DB, then upgrade
14:18 Barrc No - there doesn't seem to be any mention of Zebra
14:18 wizzyrea right, 2.2
14:18 wizzyrea so, in migration tools, there's no "rebuild index" at lal?
14:18 wizzyrea all*
14:18 * wizzyrea will shut up now
14:18 Barrc no - there are 8 scripts, all related to rebuilding
14:18 jcamins Barrc: in that case, I can't give you any useful advice. 2.2.7 is very old, but that's about all I know about it.
14:18 Barrc no index mentioned
14:19 wizzyrea ...
14:19 Barrc authorities, LANG, 6xx etc
14:19 oleonard Barrc: What exactly are you trying to do? Do you ask your question because searching isn't working?
14:19 chris_n kf: shoot me an email re bug 6589 and I'll look at it; it shouldn't be a problem to include
14:19 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6589 critical, PATCH-Sent, ---, katrin.fischer, ASSIGNED , can't add supplements
14:20 Barrc oleonard: I have an old 2.2.7 install that we need to get up to 3.4.2. However, we need to move it to another server also
14:20 * chris_n heads off to the phone booth to change outfits
14:20 Barrc So, I installed 2.2.7 on the new server and imported the sqldump from the old server into it
14:21 Barrc I was then looking for zebra to rebuild but I can't find it anywhere. If I search Koha (2.2.7) I get hit counts but not bib/item info
14:23 oleonard Barrc: Yeah, no Zebra in 2.2.7
14:23 oleonard No idea why your search isn't working though
14:23 Barrc All the bibs say "No Title" - seems to get a hit count though!
14:24 wizzyrea maybe a framework problem?
14:24 oleonard I'm guessing two possibilities: 1) Your import went wrong somehow or 2) The import went fine, it's a problem with 2.2.7, and when you upgrade everything will be okay
14:24 oleonard That is a guess, though.
14:24 Barrc I was thinking about option 2 myself - hoping it might be the case.
14:25 kf chris_n: still around?
14:25 chris_n yup, for a moment
14:26 chris_n still trying to get the 'S' oriented correctly ;-)
14:29 chris_n kf: gotta run, but will check back with you later

14:30 * oleonard hopes Carl doesn't hotlink his library's logo forever. At the very least it will be confusing to his users
14:38 wizzyrea i somehow doubt he'll try that code again. hehe
14:39 kf chris_n: sorry... now i was not here - sent you an email
15:12 oleonard wizzyrea: Do your libraries each do their own cataloging on site?
15:15 wizzyrea oleonard: yes sir, they do
15:16 oleonard Okay, then I can't compare workflows. We do all our cataloging at the main library and then distribute.
15:16 wizzyrea oo
15:16 oleonard We need a better way of keeping track of stuff between when it is cataloged and when it reaches the branches
15:17 wizzyrea oh i see.
15:17 wizzyrea well there's that cataloging to cart feature thinger
15:17 wizzyrea sec let me find the bug
15:17 oleonard that uses shelving location doesn't it?
15:17 wizzyrea I think so yea
15:18 oleonard Yeah, I don't find shelving location to be useful when there isn't an easy way for the circ staff to set or unset it
15:18 wizzyrea because batchmod can't unset it?
15:18 wizzyrea http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3481
15:18 huginn` 04Bug 3481: enhancement, P5, ---, gmcharlt, RESOLVED FIXED, In Processing/Shelving Cart locations
15:18 wizzyrea is the one
15:18 oleonard Because I don't want the circ staff using batchmod
15:18 wizzyrea AHA
15:18 oleonard I want a transfers-like interface for shelving location.
15:19 wizzyrea oooo
15:19 wizzyrea now that is actually a really good idea
15:20 wizzyrea the way 3481 works is kind of silly
15:20 * oleonard listens for the sound of wizzyrea running off to write it right now
15:25 wizzyrea heh
15:26 oleonard In fact, I see no reason why shelving location shouldn't be integrated into the existing transfers page
15:27 wizzyrea you're thinking scan a barcode, pick a location, click submit?
15:27 wizzyrea or pick a location, scan a barcode, it autosubmits
15:27 oleonard The latter
15:27 wizzyrea yea, the 2nd is probably more realistic
15:28 wizzyrea and you'd want circ staff to be able to do that
15:28 wizzyrea so no cataloging permissions required
15:29 oleonard Right, so that I can have the circ staff move something from the shelf to the display case, for instance
15:29 * wizzyrea wonders why it doesn't work like that now.
15:29 wizzyrea :P
15:29 oleonard Because no one asked me, obviously!

16:31 Johnindy I looked into it
16:31 Johnindy almost did it then read a really interesting blog post on why not to do it
16:31 Johnindy let me find that
16:31 rhcl Ok. Thanks
16:32 Johnindy http://librarianinblack.net/librarianinblack/2011/04/just-say-no-to-freegal.html
16:32 rhcl lemme look
16:32 wizzyrea (that is to say, my opinion is directly related to johnindy's opinion, as I trust his judgement)
16:33 Johnindy I think it's interesting but I don't think music in libraries is where we want it to be yet
16:39 rhcl Well, read the article. Not sure what to think exactly, but concur with some of the points in the post. Thing is, some of the criticisms I apply to OverDrive, and we got that.
16:41 wizzyrea the comments I think are where the really interesting discussion is.
16:41 wizzyrea namely that you're buying an mp3 for a library patron with public funds.
16:41 wizzyrea which seems weird and a little bit wrong.
16:43 rhcl agree

17:23 sekjal jcamins: I think I'm on the right track of non-ICU diacritics search support
17:23 magnuse sekjal++
17:24 jcamins Woohoo!
17:24 jcamins How?
17:24 sekjal I was able to get a record to turn up in my diacritic-less search that previously only appeared with accented characters
17:24 jcamins Excellent!
17:24 sekjal solution: format the record in NFC
17:25 jcamins Does that work with A-with-a-macron?
17:25 sekjal was testing on O-with-an-umlaut
17:25 jcamins Because that's one of the letters where NFC and NFKC may be different.
17:27 hdl sekjal: the NFC encoding is default in koha iirc... is it not ?
17:27 hdl at least I think i sent some patches about that months ago
17:27 jcamins hdl: for display, yes.
17:28 sekjal jcamins: I'll test on that specific one next
17:28 hdl jcamins: for our devs, even in marcxml
17:28 jcamins hdl: however, the work from BibLibre that I saw only affected the display and not the storage.
17:28 hdl it is done in C4::Biblio
17:28 sekjal hdl: I'm not sure how the MARC records were getting normalized, but they're not all uniformly in NFC
17:28 sekjal could be any number of reasons
17:29 sekjal best solution would be to figure out how to make sure they're always NFC before saving, but barring that, my fixer script could be used periodically to do cleanup
17:29 kf oleonard: it's a nice idea :)
17:29 kf oh... should scroll first
17:29 hdl sekjal: jcamins C4::Charset SetUTF8Flag function normalizes the data.
17:30 hdl used in C4::Biblio AddBiblio
17:30 hdl http://git.biblibre.com/?p=koha;a=blob;f=C4/Biblio.pm;h=639cc840f2a5532ade2e780c513e8b2ecdc54413;hb=41bcbcf885b34a863cf3b78da868c2895f41a3ec
17:30 hdl line 262
17:31 * hdl always frustrated to see ppl spending time over and over redoing things.
17:31 hdl But wel...
17:32 sekjal hdl: but that would only apply for AddBiblio... what about in cases of modifying or overlaying with Z39.50 records?
17:32 jcamins hdl: I seem to remember there being a problem with that that I commented on on bugzilla.
17:32 hdl have not seen your coment
17:33 jcamins I'm looking for it now.
17:33 jcamins Hm. Can't seem to find it.
17:34 hdl sekjal: it always get into your catalogue through AddBiblio
17:35 jcamins hdl: you had added a SetUTF8Flag call to opac-details.pl at one point, because there were certain circumstances where the records weren't being normalized, hadn't you?
17:35 jcamins Yes.
17:35 jcamins Bug 5965.
17:35 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5965 minor, PATCH-Sent, ---, paul.poulain, RESOLVED FIXED, Make sure opac-detail.pl outputs marc in utf-8
17:35 hdl Yes... at that moment, I had problems with display
17:35 jcamins So whatever that underlying issue is needs to be fixed.
17:36 hdl But also thought that Koha should internally normalize the Unicode Encoding.
17:36 jcamins I agree.
17:36 hdl and since NFC was to be used...
17:36 hdl for display.
17:36 sekjal okay, great, so we've got a subroutine for correctly normalizing MARC records into NFC
17:36 hdl And yaz-icu was coping with NFD transformation.
17:37 sekjal so, I guess the thing to do is to fix up all the existing records into NFC, then run the system normally for a while, and see if any lose their normalization
17:37 sekjal if so, then there is code somewhere that bypasses SetUTF8Flag()
17:38 jcamins Iff you have upgraded the database to 3.4, everything should be correct.
17:38 jcamins The remove_biblioitems script uses ModBiblio, does it not?
17:39 sekjal jcamins: yes, it does
17:39 sekjal I'm currently testing this on a pre 3-4 system
17:39 jcamins sekjal: ah.
17:39 sekjal perhaps that's why
17:39 jcamins sekjal: try running touch_all_biblios.
17:41 jcamins (to see if that corrects the normalization)
18:30 jcamins @later tell nengard Regarding the latest bug on the 505 tag, I think I may have submitted a patch for that. If I did, you should have it sitting in your inbox for signing off.
18:30 huginn` jcamins: The operation succeeded.
18:40 huginn` New commit(s) needsignoff: [Bug 6616] Move common table pager markup to include <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6616>
18:48 hdl good night
18:49 wizzyrea hmm apparently if you hit enter when presented with a "confirm hold" dialog, it doesn't confirm or ignore the hold, but it does close the transfer
18:50 wizzyrea that seems like odd behavior
18:51 oleonard I think the question is where is the focus
18:51 wizzyrea *nod*
18:51 oleonard Probably in the barcode field
18:52 wizzyrea this also happens if you scan another item without clicking confirm
18:52 wizzyrea (it's my opinion that it should do nothing until the confirm or ignore button is clicked)
18:54 oleonard I think I agree
18:59 sekjal wizzyrea: I recall a great discussion about this issue some weeks/months ago
18:59 cait hi #koha
18:59 sekjal hey, cait
19:00 rhcl wizzyrea: wanna come to a party? I can invite you (in fact, I can invite everybody).
19:00 rhcl Security B-Sides started as a free alternative to some major security conferences (Black hat, RSA, etc.). These events are smaller and FREE!
19:01 rhcl http://www.securitybsides.com/w/page/35094907/BSidesMo
19:01 rhcl wonder if there are any Koha security topics I could present on?????
19:04 oleonard sekjal: On irc?
19:04 sekjal oleonard: yes
19:04 wizzyrea ... was I involved?
19:04 wizzyrea >.> because I'm totally not remembering this
19:06 sekjal trying to find link.. on moment
19:07 rhcl I think I was part of that discussion. Is that where the "y" and "n" don't do anything?
19:07 oleonard I remember that discussion. I consider that to be a different subject.
19:07 rhcl unless clicked? Pressing Y and N doesn't do anything, despite the impression it should.
19:07 rhcl ah, ok
19:08 sekjal http://stats.workbuffer.org/irclog/koha/2011-04-26#i_654179
19:08 sekjal ah
19:08 sekjal just re-read wizzyrea's original issue
19:08 wizzyrea oh yea, late night
19:09 sekjal and yes, oleonard, different subject, I think
19:12 oleonard I think I still vote for hiding the barcode field and display only the confirmation message
19:12 * oleonard doesn't like the disabled barcode field in circ, thinks it should either work or not be there
19:13 wizzyrea oh and regarding user behavior
19:13 wizzyrea the software is wrong, not the people >.>
19:13 wizzyrea though people are often inconsistent.
19:15 wizzyrea oleonard: I like that
19:15 oleonard That disabled barcode field is an itch I've been meaning to scratch.
19:15 wizzyrea hide the barcode field and focus one of the buttons (probably confirm?)
19:15 sekjal syspref to choose focus on confirm/cancel?
19:15 wizzyrea and we'd need to make sure to address the situation where it's just a transit message
19:15 wizzyrea with no buttons
19:16 wizzyrea (leave the barcode box alone)
19:16 wizzyrea seems silly to have to have a syspref for it, but I suppose it should probably be so yea
19:16 oleonard Bug 6616 will help me do something like this: http://www.screencast.com/t/NOVJ0sIwzx
19:16 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6616 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, oleonard, ASSIGNED , Move common table pager markup to include
19:17 rhcl reading the irc from back then...just a followup note, barcode readers can be programmed to either send a carriage return or not
19:17 wizzyrea right, but you want it in most cases
19:17 wizzyrea all of our libraries send a CR
19:17 wizzyrea and prefer it that way
19:17 rhcl yea, but for programming you can't presume either
19:17 sekjal or else a bit of JQuery people could add to change default focus to "cancel", for those few folks who'd want to do that
19:18 wizzyrea ^^ seems like a less expansive, and perhaps better solution
19:18 oleonard Ain't no one gonna get into reprogramming their barcode reader for this
19:19 wizzyrea it should work both ways anyway
19:19 rhcl exactly
19:20 sekjal we can't always code to @quote123
19:20 sekjal we'll go crazy
19:20 wizzyrea @quote get 123
19:20 huginn` wizzyrea: Quote #123: "rangi: #thingsihavelearnt if there is a mad scheme a library somewhere will be doing it ... except madder" (added by wizzyrea at 09:20 PM, March 30, 2011)
19:20 wizzyrea i think make the behavior default
19:20 wizzyrea and we can jquery our way out of it
19:20 wizzyrea if necessary
19:21 oleonard Make what behavior default?
19:21 wizzyrea confirm as default focus
19:21 wizzyrea print/confirm should be an explicit decision
19:21 wizzyrea as should ignore
19:21 wizzyrea and if someone wants it different, they can do that with jquery. It's one of the reasons koha is so flexible
19:22 * oleonard starts tinkering
19:22 * wizzyrea will file the bug
19:23 oleonard Mark it as assigned to me unless someone else wants to wrastle me for it
19:23 wizzyrea :)
19:23 wizzyrea k
19:25 oleonard Okay, here's a tricky one. Should some error messages require confirmation as well? "No item with that barcode," for instance?
19:25 wizzyrea i think that one's purely informational
19:25 wizzyrea imo
19:26 wizzyrea we just sent you down the rabbit hold didn't we
19:26 wizzyrea s/hold/hole
19:38 wizzyrea I think that there are actually 2 different things going on here
19:38 wizzyrea now that i've looked at it closely
19:40 wizzyrea holds with incoming transits 1. don't show the ignore button 2. simply scanning the book completes the transfer, but 3. if you just hit enter, it's like you clicked ignore but 4. the status is wrong (screencap to come)
19:40 oleonard Quick demo: http://screencast.com/t/299TjpzAd8ss (minus any focus-handling)
19:43 wizzyrea oleonard++ that's good. What does it look like when it's an incoming transfer?
19:43 wizzyrea writing this bug may be a bigger pita than you fixing it lol ;)
19:44 rangi those are the best kind of bugs
19:44 oleonard You mean something which is already marked as waiting but is coming from another branch wizzyrea ?
19:44 rangi much better than the other way round
19:44 wizzyrea I mean something that is in transit to your branch to fill a hold
19:45 wizzyrea ex: lib A book in transit to lib B, what does it look like when that gets checked in
19:45 wizzyrea to fill a hold
19:46 cait oleonard: I like the new table sorter thing :)
19:47 rangi it shouldn't be waiting at that point, should get marked waiting when checked in, if the librarian wants it to be marked waiting
19:47 cait checking your screenshots :)
19:47 oleonard You're right rangi
19:47 rangi cait: ill find the playlist when I get to work
19:48 rangi heard anything more about ruth?
19:48 wizzyrea there was a post from lindsey this morning
19:48 wizzyrea but mostly that said "she's ok and was awake"
19:49 wizzyrea http://www.librarygeekgirl.net/
19:49 rangi yup thats the last I saw too
19:49 rangi cool
19:49 rangi awake and ok is good
19:49 wizzyrea *nod*
19:49 rhcl Kelly likes the ignore button.
19:50 oleonard wizzyrea: In the example you ask about there's just the confirm and print/confirm buttons. No ignore. So you would have to choose one of those options to proceed.
19:51 wizzyrea right.
19:51 wizzyrea sharon was wondering why there was no ignore. But that's another issue.
19:51 oleonard It item is already allocated for a patron, so there's not really anything an 'ignore' button could do
19:52 oleonard The ignore button in the other message is to let you *not* allocate that copy to that person if you don't want to
19:52 wizzyrea excellent that's a great explanation
19:52 wizzyrea and also explains the message
19:53 wizzyrea that makes perfect sense, and sharon agrees that your approach is just great
19:53 wizzyrea what happens if it's just a transit home with no hold?
19:54 wizzyrea (aside, it might be nice to click through that message
19:54 rangi then a voice just screams "incoming" and everyone ducks and rolls
19:54 wizzyrea LOL
19:54 wizzyrea that really did make me laugh
19:55 rangi and that is why im banned from interface design
19:56 wizzyrea you know the librarians *were* asking for an additional sound cue there.
19:56 wizzyrea rangi screaming "incoming" might be just the ticket
19:56 wizzyrea they ought to be careful what they wish for
19:57 rangi heh
19:58 oleonard wizzyrea: "it might be nice to click through that message" ?
19:58 wizzyrea never mind. librarians are fickle.

20:54 nengard so i could search for it?
