00:00 bg ah is he here?
00:00 paulnz hi all
00:00 rangi id use either the wr or the bug to ask bg
00:02 eythian mtj: it is something to do with the db, if I switch to another one it works.
00:02 eythian curious, but not something I need to bother about right now.
00:03 mtj cool...
00:11 bg nice melia updated the wr for us
00:11 melia :)
00:23 paulnz hi rangi
00:24 rangi hiya paulnz
00:41 libsysguy hey guys
00:41 libsysguy (and #Koha girls)
00:51 bg heya libsysguy
00:51 wahanui well, libsysguy is curious why it is looking for the biblios table
01:25 libsysguy and back
01:25 libsysguy anybody up for helping me tackle an ldap question
01:37 wizzyrea I am the walrus, koo koo ka choo
01:56 rangi ok
01:56 rangi How would you explain 'Authority Search Results'? I'm translating it in
01:56 rangi Koha but am not sure of the exact meaning of 'authority' here.
01:56 rangi how the hell do you explain authorities in library world to someone
02:04 paulnz try this rangi
02:04 paulnz when you come up with explanation you'll be ahead of plenty of librarians
02:04 paulnz http://www.loc.gov/marc/uma/pt1-7.html#pt4
02:05 rangi heh
02:05 rangi thanks that oughta help (its for the updating the maori translations)
02:12 rangi wizzyrea: you might know this
02:13 rangi does nekls have a floating collection?
02:16 rangi hi jransom
02:19 jransom hi Chris
02:24 wizzyrea rangi: nope, nekls doesn't have a floathing collection
02:24 wizzyrea floating, even
02:24 rangi dangit
02:24 wizzyrea floathing... that must be a freudian slip
02:25 rangi im not sure how to do it
02:25 wizzyrea hmm
02:25 wizzyrea well
02:25 rangi a set of items that shouldnt prompt for being returned to their homebranch
02:26 wizzyrea well in this case, homebranch = where they currently are
02:27 rangi homebranch = where they should be, once they have finished floating at some point in the future
02:27 wizzyrea ooh yuck
02:27 rangi yeah
02:27 rangi if we had a homebrnach=floating
02:28 rangi and current branch, where they are
02:28 wizzyrea or a flag for floating
02:28 rangi i wonder if there is a way to say nothing in floating should prompt for transfer
02:29 wizzyrea but it could technically be transited to another branch to fill a request right?
02:30 wizzyrea well we'd need to know whether ^ that scenario exists
02:30 wizzyrea because if it doesn't, you could set an itype and do local hold only
02:30 wizzyrea or no hold
02:30 rangi yep, you could transfer for reserve
02:30 rangi but when you return it, it shouldnt prompt to go home
02:30 wizzyrea well that blows that then :)
02:30 rangi BUT everything else should
02:30 wizzyrea aha
02:31 * wizzyrea was imagining a floating collection where every item in the set floated together
02:31 rangi nope
02:31 wizzyrea so these items live wherever they are, technically
02:31 rangi yeah
02:31 wizzyrea until it's time to go home
02:31 rangi yup
02:32 rangi so that if a Patea customer reserves a Hawera book, and returns the book at Patea, it stays as part of the Patea collection.
02:32 wizzyrea but you still need to know that it started out at Hawera
02:32 rangi ideally
02:33 wizzyrea the dirty way I think of would be to store the real home in the private note of the item record
02:33 wizzyrea or somesuch
02:34 rangi yeah i had that thought :)
02:36 wizzyrea but then again, libraries keep oher stuff there too
02:36 wizzyrea so could get mess
02:36 wizzyrea messy even.
02:36 rangi yeah i think doing it properly with a flag is the way
02:37 rangi then you could bulk update
02:37 wizzyrea authorized value?
02:37 rangi that might work
02:39 wizzyrea woot 3 part name searching!
02:39 wizzyrea I know what I'll be testing tomorrow
02:39 rangi heh
02:49 rangi libsysguy: http://grooveshark.com/#/s/L+e+s+Artistes/2CFjbA?src=5
02:49 rangi (since i missed you yesterday)
02:52 libsysguy yes! i was looking for you yesterday for some good music
02:55 paulnz do they need a home?
02:55 paulnz could home be floating?
02:55 paulnz then when you've finished the float cycle, bulk update them with a home?
02:55 rangi yup that could be home, but then we'd need to tell koha, stop trying to transfer things back to floating ;)
02:55 paulnz and floating can be done at item and collection level?
02:55 rangi that would be cool
02:56 rangi its just the code to say, 'if this is floating, dont prompt to transfer'
02:56 rangi shouldnt be a big job to do that though
03:15 wizzyrea famous last words
03:15 wizzyrea i meann, it *is* reserves...
03:16 rangi heh, well wont actually be touching reserves
03:16 rangi its AddReturn
03:16 rangi which in the scheme of things is almost sane
03:24 rangi @quote get 123
03:24 huginn rangi: 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)
03:48 rangi chilts: im being lazy, what license is go released under?
03:49 chilts the one Google usually do, I think it's a BSD one ... I'll check
03:50 chilts BSD-style
03:50 chilts apaprently
03:50 rangi ta
03:51 rangi youve given up on node.js ?
03:51 chilts https://go.googlecode.com/hg/LICENSE
03:51 chilts am doing both Node and Go! at the moment
03:52 chilts I like them both for different reasons :)
03:52 rangi cool
03:52 rangi i think im gonna play with perl6 more
03:52 chilts I updated my queue thing in Node last week (just a play thing) : https://github.com/appsattic/sensi
03:52 chilts I should do, but not yet :)

05:49 cait morning #koha
05:54 cait rangi around?
06:08 cait from away to afk? :)
06:09 magnuse hm, seems it goes back to what i was before i logged off...
06:10 cait god morgen :)
06:10 magnuse guten morgen!
06:25 alex_a bonjour #koha !
06:25 magnuse bonjour alex_a
06:25 alex_a hi magnuse :)
06:25 cait bonjour alex_a :)
06:26 alex_a hi cait
06:26 alex_a :)
06:40 reiveune hello
06:53 magnuse kia ora hdl
06:54 hdl hi magnuse
07:18 kf good morning #koha
07:44 julian hello #koha
07:46 rangi around now
07:47 kf rangi: I was only thinking that the floating collections sounds similar to the rotating collection things
07:49 rangi similair
07:49 rangi similar even
07:49 rangi but not quite the same
07:49 rangi rotating is more you move items to a branch and they stay there a while, then the whole collection moves
07:49 rangi the floating one is more, and item can be anywhere
07:50 rangi it never has to return home, until its no longer floating
07:50 rangi both are good features to have
08:00 mtj interesting....
08:00 wahanui i think interesting is sometimes bad or sometimes good
08:00 mtj http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/03/01/the_rise_and_rise_of_node_dot_js/
08:02 kf rangi: ah ok :)

08:04 rangi its warmed up lots
08:04 rangi it was 2
08:04 kf that's good, right?
08:07 rangi yep
08:08 kf :)
08:25 magnuse buses running again?
08:28 rangi at the moment yup
08:28 magnuse yay! ;-)
08:35 rangi wow
08:35 rangi that was a huge fail
08:35 kf hm?
08:35 rangi latest message to the list
08:36 rangi guy sends a mail to the list, replying to the digest and quoting the entire digest, owen answers and asks him not to reply to digests
08:36 rangi and then he sends another mail, asking the same question, replying to the digest, that contains owen answering him
08:39 magnuse ouch
08:46 slef rangi: one of reasons I now delete digests unread unless I'm a list admin. The world can't afford the data transfer charges of encouraging bad posters.
08:46 slef hi all
08:46 magnuse kia ora slef
08:47 rangi i never answer anyone who posts the exact same question 2 days in a row anyway
08:49 kf hi slef
08:52 slef rangi: I don't get to answer that quickly at the moment :(
08:53 Judit good evening
08:54 Judit how do you change the blue background on the opac at the top to a different colour?
08:55 rangi http://www.myacpl.org/koha/?p=160
08:56 Judit cool rangi thank you
08:56 Judit do you really have snow down there?
08:56 rangi yes
08:57 rangi http://www.stuff.co.nz/5453107/Wellington-snow-from-the-sky
08:58 Judit how many snowman have you built?
08:58 rangi http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/5450195/Snow-in-winterless-north-amid-weather-chaos
08:58 rangi none, im bored of snow already :)
08:59 Judit snow is so much fun!
08:59 Judit go out and bulid one!
08:59 rangi snow is annoying
08:59 Judit no
08:59 Judit snow is beautiful and funfunfun
09:00 rangi no its really not, it causes crashes, and people to die of hypothermia, specially in places like christchurch where people still have broken houses from the earthquake
09:00 Judit well, you need to be ready for snow, that is true
09:05 slef rangi: did you know Wellington+Auckland snow was on our national news shows yesterday? #sillyseason
09:06 rangi heh
09:07 rangi its actually the ice thats the problem in wellington
09:07 rangi with our steep hills and narrow windy streets
09:07 slef Always is. People drive on snow = ice from day 2 onwards.
09:07 rangi sliding buses and cars = not good
09:07 slef if there were no cars, bikes could still use most of the snowy roads OK
09:08 slef but once it gets icy, walking is the only safe way.
09:08 rangi yup
09:08 slef Well, it's currently a traditional English summer outside here.
09:09 rangi we had power outages yesterday too, which since most of our buses are electric made a mess
09:09 slef I think we're high enough up the hill not to flood, though.
09:09 rangi heh
09:09 slef Our buses just give up as soon as there's snow, citing safety.
09:10 rangi yeah, they gave up at 7pm last night here, but were on again this morning
09:10 slef One of the advantages of life in a big city :)
09:10 rangi still a few routes closed
09:10 slef So "made a mess" = just stopped dead where they were?
09:11 slef or do they have a neutral so people could push them off the road?
09:11 slef bbi30ish
09:13 rangi they can run under autonomous power for a little while
09:13 rangi so they unhook from the wires and park up somewhere safe
09:13 rangi then connect back to the wire and wait for the power to come back on
09:14 rangi cold for the poor drivers
09:14 magnuse how often does something like this happen in wellington?
09:15 magnuse the very beautiful video from Cuba street said "once in a lifetime"?
09:15 rangi been about 50 years
09:15 magnuse oh wow
09:15 magnuse no wonder you seem a little unprepared, then ;-)
09:16 rangi its a storm straight from antartica, that came up way faster than they normally do, normally they warm up a bit by the time the get to nz
09:17 rangi and snow to sea level in wellington is pretty much unheard of
09:20 rangi so snow plus 111kmph gusts = not fun
09:20 magnuse nope!
09:21 rangi our house only got flurries, but we got the wind and hail
09:21 magnuse bad enough!
09:23 rangi yeah, it was fun for the people who have never seen snow before
09:34 magnuse :-)
10:27 slef so, what do you make of http://www.librarytechnology.org/ltg-displaytext.pl?RC=15967 "3M Company and EnvisionWare, Inc. have entered into a confidential settlement agreement [about RFID patents]"
10:35 magnuse slef: just that software patents are evil...
10:52 magnuse o/
10:59 druthb o/
11:18 rangi kmkale: are you about?

13:29 oleonard I wish I knew what to suggest libsysguy. FWIW I don't get the error in my test install.
13:29 jcamins_away libsysguy: missing some date calculation module?
13:29 jcamins_away That's the only thing I an think of.
13:29 Agent_Dani Brooke: Nice link! I was thinking about the birds in my area after hearing an owl while drifting off to sleep last night.
13:30 Brooke the profiles are pretty suck, which is stinky
13:30 Brooke but the voice stuff is great
13:30 Brooke and this guy *was* vocal.

13:37 hdl1 Brooke: Big hug
13:37 hdl1 400 404
13:37 hdl1 it calls HTML::Template::Pro
13:38 * oleonard gets the right error page for 403 and 404
13:39 Brooke d'oh bywater's running 3.5 so I can't reproduce that :(
13:51 wizzyrea mornin
13:51 oleonard Hi wizzyrea
13:52 Brooke howdy
13:52 wahanui que tal, Brooke
13:54 Brooke on one hand, seeing rare birds is cool. On the other hand, it means I almost always need an ornithologist buddy. Haven't had that luxury in like at least a decade.
13:57 hdl1 oleonard: i have a call to errors/400.tmpl
13:58 hdl1 in 400.pl
13:58 hdl1 I don't think it should be that
13:58 oleonard hdl1: I don't understand how it works. I see lots of calls to tmpl files in the scripts
14:04 kf ie-- css--
14:13 kf bye all
14:38 * oleonard is happy that Bug 6253 get's wizzyrea's signoff. Sounds like a great improvement
14:39 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6253 normal, PATCH-Sent, ---, srdjan, ASSIGNED , Unified Patron Search subroutine
14:39 wizzyrea good old henry :)
14:39 wizzyrea does srdjan have an IRC nick?
14:41 oleonard We should plug http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/IRC_Regulars more often
14:41 * oleonard doesn't even see Brooke on there
14:42 oleonard We should list the bots there too
14:53 wizzyrea are you doing that or should I add them :)
14:53 oleonard Go ahead if you're inclined. I'm just shooting my mouth off
14:53 wizzyrea I'll do it
14:54 wizzyrea I'm already in
14:54 oleonard I also wonder if we should trim those who are not seen after a certain amount of time
14:54 oleonard @seen acmoore
14:54 huginn oleonard: I have not seen acmoore.
14:54 wizzyrea yea, I was trimming some
14:54 wizzyrea like that one
14:56 * jcamins_away plays a funeral dirge for Z39.50.
14:56 jcamins_away MELVYL no longer supports Z39.50.
14:56 oleonard I didn't even know Z39.50 was sick
14:56 jcamins_away Nor did I, but apparently we're behind the times.
14:58 oleonard What magic protocol is up and coming?
14:59 jcamins_away oleonard: "do the search in the OPAC your own damn self."
14:59 Agent_Dani heh
14:59 oleonard :D
14:59 * jcamins_away dials in to a conference call.
14:59 oleonard I know some librarians who run that protocol
15:00 Agent_Dani The evening I had a dream in it was when I knew I needed a vacation.

15:30 rhcl The hummingbird migration in the US is underway; I routinely have 2-6 hummingbirds at my feeders
15:50 oleonard Hi melia, I read about you in a press release!
15:50 melia :)
15:50 melia I'm famous!
15:51 rhcl whois melia
15:51 oleonard http://bywatersolutions.com/2011/08/16/bywater-solutions-welcomes-melia-meggs-as-operations-manager
15:51 rhcl just googled it
15:51 rhcl :)
16:07 jcamins_away rhcl: I'm not familiar with that ILS, Hummingbird. Tell them to switch to Koha. :)
16:11 rhcl IRT Brooke post @0854. I wonder, having now posted this, if there is a way to set xchat to zulu time? But that would only help if everybody else on channel was set to zulu too.
16:49 slef rhcl: does xchat not take from TZ environment variable? So start it with "env TZ=UTC xchat"
16:50 slef bibsys here in norway?
17:02 bencahill hey guys, what scripts do I need to run to upgrade database (mysql) from 3.2.x to 3.4.x? running remove_items_from_biblioitems.pl --run now...
17:03 bencahill I'm getting a ton of these, by the way, should I be concerned?
17:03 bencahill Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 2796.
17:07 rhcl test
17:07 luisb success
17:15 rhcl OK, maybe I'strftime
17:15 rhcl disregard above
17:16 rhcl OK, maybe I'm just not seeing it, but is there nothing in strftime that lets you specify UTC explicitly?
17:16 libsysguy hey guys...I am getting a weird error that im not really sure how to troubleshoot
17:16 libsysguy its: Can’t locate object method ‘new’ via package “koha†at /home/koha/kohaclone/c4/circulation, pm line 1798, <DATA> line 522
17:17 libsysguy and it happens when i go to return a checkout in dropbox mode
17:24 bencahill hmm, everyone seems to be asleep :-/
17:24 libsysguy sadly
17:26 slef rhcl: perl strftime?
17:26 rhcl slef: linux (man) strftime (should be the same surely)
17:27 rhcl libsysguy: is there nothing in google that gives you a hint? http://lists.koha-community.org/pipermail/koha-devel/2011-February/035103.html
17:28 slef rhcl: setenv TZ to UTC first?
17:29 bencahill how long should the remove_items_from_biblioitems take to run on a database with 2000 biblios/items? it's been running for over 20 minutes!
17:29 wizzyrea it can take a really long time
17:29 wizzyrea it was hours on our DB
17:29 wizzyrea about 6
17:29 bencahill wizzyrea: how many items?
17:29 wizzyrea 750k ish
17:29 rhcl slef: yea, that's probably the correct solution.
17:29 bencahill wizzyrea: I've only got 2k, so it should be done pretty soon then?
17:30 wizzyrea seems like it shouldn't take too much longer
17:30 slef ok... I've been asked to change the label "Barcode" in the librarian interface. Am I right in thinking that's going to be everywhere in the templates?
17:30 bencahill not necessarily a fast server, so that's probably slowing it down as well
17:30 bencahill wizzyrea: kthx, off to lunch now...
17:30 wizzyrea libsysguy: I'm not getting that error on my dev box
17:31 wizzyrea maybe something to do with hourly loans mucking it up?
17:31 wizzyrea slef: yea, it's all over
17:31 wizzyrea maybe a translation would serve you better in that case
17:32 wizzyrea instead of mucking about with the templates
17:32 wizzyrea just a thought.
17:32 slef yeah, I was wondering that, but they want the change only in librarian... so I guess different languages in the two?
17:32 wizzyrea well they have independent strings, right?
17:33 * wizzyrea is not an expert on translation
17:33 slef I think so. Been a while since I touched this.
17:33 wizzyrea maybe kf can answer that
17:33 wizzyrea ping kf / cait
17:33 slef hrm, "Barcode" is peppered through lots of the strings.
17:33 slef I think cait's between work and home or something
17:33 wizzyrea aha
17:33 wizzyrea speaking of which
17:33 wizzyrea lunch
17:34 wizzyrea pour moi
17:41 cait hi #koha
17:41 libsysguy wizzyrea: i found out what it was
17:42 libsysguy its an error in hourly loans
17:48 cait hi libsysguy
17:48 libsysguy hey cait
17:50 slef hi cait. If someone wants to change the word "barcode" everywhere in the staff interface only (not the OPAC), do you think a translation should be able to do that OK?
17:52 cait hm yes
17:52 cait but lots of strings might have to be changed
17:52 cait what is it supposed to be changed to?
17:52 cait and is it really necessary?
17:52 slef yes, I'll let the librarian do that. They might decide it's not so important then.
17:52 slef ;-)
17:53 cait :)
17:53 cait poedit is good
17:53 cait perhaps even something like search and replace, you might want to check
17:53 slef right. I should take a look at that.
17:53 cait also pretty good for finding problems with the files
17:53 cait can check for missing placeholders and such that will break translations
17:55 slef cool. I thought there was a msglint or something but I can't find it now :(
17:58 cait msglint?
17:58 wizzyrea libsysguy: hoorah!
17:58 wizzyrea (that you found the problem)
17:58 wizzyrea (not that it's broken, of course)

18:15 rangi crap!
18:15 wizzyrea due to snow?
18:15 rangi ice
18:15 wizzyrea !
18:15 bencahill wizzyrea: still going... :-P

18:18 rangi http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/5456201/Black-ice-a-risk-as-weather-eases
18:18 rangi checkout picture 2
18:19 wizzyrea o my lord
18:20 rangi colder would actually be better
18:20 wizzyrea yea, no melting/freezing
18:20 wizzyrea at least here, it's when it melts and re-freezes that it really becomes a problem
18:21 rangi http://www.stuff.co.nz/5453107/Wellington-snow-from-the-sky <-- pretty cool video
18:21 wizzyrea oooo pretty
18:22 wizzyrea you guys really got it wow
18:28 wizzyrea I like how the ad on the winter weather black ice story is a lovely picture of the tropics.
18:28 wizzyrea at least it is for me ;)
18:31 rangi hehe
18:42 oleonard So anyone working on anything fun these days?
18:43 rangi not probably until after october
18:44 * oleonard has dutifully updated his jquery-ui branch, still wondering when the menu component is going to be released
18:44 rangi menu component?
18:44 oleonard A jquery-ui native widget to replace the YUI menu widget
18:45 oleonard It's in alpha right now. The last piece which needs to be placed before we can ditch YUI js
18:45 cait oh
18:45 rangi ahh
18:45 cait couldn't we start with replacing othermodules first?
18:45 rangi half and half would be messy
18:45 oleonard We could. I hoped to be able to add jquery ui at the same time we removed YUI so as not to double-up on dependencies
18:46 cait ok
18:47 oleonard Although I'm getting impatient...
18:50 rangi hehe
18:51 cait hm something fun
18:52 rangi i started on the read api for open library
18:53 rangi which pulls in their digital copies if they exist
18:53 rangi works now, but needs lots of UI work
18:54 oleonard Neat
18:55 rangi https://gitorious.org/koha/mainline/commits/new_openlibrary
18:58 rangi ok, i hear kids awake
18:58 rangi bbl
18:58 rhcl OK, so my TSS is editing marc records, and would like to hid numerous fields that we never use. How to do?
18:58 rhcl hide
18:58 oleonard Edit the framework
18:59 wizzyrea edit the marc framework, set the fields to 'hide'
18:59 rhcl Yea, that's what she's doing now but it's really time consuming to do all, and then we need to reboot the server to apply the changes.
19:00 wizzyrea !!
19:00 jcamins_away rhcl: run sudo /etc/init.d/memcached restart
19:00 wizzyrea reboot it?!
19:00 wizzyrea oh memcached.
19:00 wahanui hmmm... memcached is not generalized in all the modules.
19:00 jcamins_away Better yet, put /etc/init.d/memcached restart in cron.daily.
19:00 jcamins_away :D
19:00 wizzyrea forget memcached
19:00 wahanui wizzyrea: I forgot memcached
19:01 jcamins_away wahanui: reboot it is the standard, first-resort troubleshooting technique for Windows.
19:01 wahanui OK, jcamins_away.
19:01 jcamins_away reboot it?!?
19:01 wahanui reboot it is, like, the standard, first-resort troubleshooting technique for Windows
19:01 wizzyrea editing the framework can definitely be time consuming.
19:04 rhcl so what's a fix?
19:04 rhcl (we're looking for things to fund)
19:05 wizzyrea allow external editing and import of frameworks?
19:05 wizzyrea you can already export them.
19:05 wizzyrea can we import too? (through the gui, i mean)
19:05 cait yep
19:05 wizzyrea oh, then
19:05 wizzyrea rhcl
19:05 wizzyrea do it in CSV
19:05 wizzyrea :P
19:05 cait but nicole reported a bug for that today
19:05 rhcl yes?
19:05 wizzyrea and import it
19:05 cait she also has a video tutorial somewhere
19:05 cait 3.4 i think
19:06 cait http://bywatersolutions.com/2011/08/16/faster-fast-add-framework/
19:06 wizzyrea yea, rhcl
19:07 wizzyrea just use the exporter
19:07 wizzyrea export it into CSV
19:07 wizzyrea edit it however you want
19:07 wizzyrea and reimport it
19:07 libsysguy is anybody familiar with C4/Koha.pm
19:07 wizzyrea more accurately, export, edit, create a new framework, then import
19:08 wizzyrea or import it over the old one
19:08 wizzyrea seems dangerous though
19:15 rhcl well, we just did all that and it seems to work. We owe wizzyrea a lolipop.
19:16 wizzyrea HUZZA
19:16 wizzyrea I wasn't able to duplicate her bug either
19:16 wizzyrea I just imported a framework exported from my test system, into the bywater demo
19:16 wizzyrea and it seems to work just fine
19:17 oleonard For a second there I thought rhcl said he owed wizzyrea a laptop
19:17 wizzyrea that would be cool too.
19:18 rhcl You know, I've purchased two laptops recently, one for The Director and one for our new bookstore manager. Both had Win 7 installed, and couldn't get either of the &%$%$ to connect to our wireless.
19:19 rhcl Installed Linux Mint 11 on both, worked just fine, and neither of them had any complaints about them not being Windows.
19:19 rhcl I'm working on an all-linux library
19:20 cait nengard: around?
19:21 rhcl BTW, wizzyrea, the newest version of Userful (auto upgrade in our case) has a FF plugin that spoofs the user agent string which helps with some sites demanding IE.
19:21 wizzyrea oh that is very very cool
19:22 rhcl If the site is really using ActiveX it won't help, but will with just about anything else that does a browser check.
19:23 wizzyrea :) I do the same with my tablet - i set the user agent as "desktop" so sites won't show me the mobile version on my lovely whatever-size screen it is that isn't a phone.
19:32 wizzyrea I feel special, I have 1337 spam.
19:34 hguewmLibrarian :) I'm not interrupting anything, am I?
19:34 cait no
19:34 cait :)
19:34 cait hi hguewmLibrarian
19:34 hguewmLibrarian hi cait
19:35 hguewmLibrarian i've got a technical ponderance for the koha gurus
19:35 hguewmLibrarian it deals with fines reports
19:35 hguewmLibrarian is this the wrong place?
19:36 cait we don#t know your question yet :)
19:37 cait and not sure there are questions where this is the wrong place
19:37 hguewmLibrarian ok. So I'm looking to create a SQL report: showing cumulative fines paid
19:38 hguewmLibrarian so (date) to (date) fines paid - amount (cumulative) - detail on the patron name and payment date
19:38 hguewmLibrarian I found a beauty on the net, that gives current fines owed.
19:38 hguewmLibrarian but not this
19:39 cait hm
19:39 cait I have something similar I think
19:40 cait oh
19:40 cait can't access that installation from here
19:42 cait it's definitely possible
19:42 hguewmLibrarian hmm...
19:42 Brooke kia ora
19:42 cait if you pm me your email I can send you the report I have tomorrow
19:42 hguewmLibrarian i figured the koha gurus would know
19:42 hguewmLibrarian sure. :) Thanks cait
19:43 cait I am too tired to figure it out from scratch now... or perhaps I will give it a try
19:46 aarkerio hi!!
19:46 aarkerio somebody can help me with this:
19:46 aarkerio http://mononeurona.org/img/imgusers/aarkerio_2238.png
19:46 aarkerio where can I add an item type?
19:47 wizzyrea aarkerio: Administration -> Item Types
19:48 wizzyrea well these cocoa dusted almonds are not at all what I thought i was buying, but they are delicious none the less
19:48 wizzyrea these are actually chocolate enrobed cocoa dusted almonds.
19:48 aarkerio mmm, thanks!
19:48 wizzyrea I just wanted the cocoa dusting. :P
19:52 aarkerio By the way, somebody knows a link about how to add a scientific magazine to Koha?
19:53 Brooke try a search for cataloguing serials in Koha
19:54 Brooke I can only imagine nengard's written summat up
19:54 aarkerio thanks!! Koha is great!
20:03 rangi back
20:03 rangi wizzyrea: in case you havent already, pleas update the bug report :)
20:03 wizzyrea hehe yea, phoneeeeeeeee
20:03 rangi :)
20:08 libsysguy ok so I had a crazy idea today and I want to run it by somebody with programming experience
20:08 libsysguy any body want to let me pick their brain
20:11 libsysguy in Auth_with_ldap.pm there are two functions that I am interested in (search_method, checkpw_ldap). I need to do a recursive search for a user since we have 2 OU's at my school, one for students one for fac/staff. Since checkpw_ldap can only bind to one I want to call search_method from inside checkpw_ldap to do a search for my user then do a bind
20:18 rangi melia: nice press!
20:18 cait wizzyrea: can the runtime parameters bring up a datepicker?
20:18 rangi libsysguy: with you so far
20:19 wizzyrea mmmm let me think about that
20:19 wizzyrea I don't think so
20:19 wizzyrea but keyword = think
20:19 rangi also
20:19 rangi http://grooveshark.com/#/playlist/Chillax/40200536
20:19 libsysguy rangi: so i guess that is all i had to say
20:19 libsysguy does that sound dooable without breaking everything
20:20 rangi yup it does
20:20 rangi but
20:20 libsysguy uh oh
20:20 rangi to be nicer, you could add it as a config option in the koha-conf.xml
20:20 rangi in the ldap section
20:20 libsysguy i can do that soo
20:20 Brooke oh crap, cat's gonna disown me!
20:21 libsysguy do you happen to know what ldap search returns
20:21 rangi nope
20:22 libsysguy dang
20:22 libsysguy i didn't see it in the doc
20:22 rangi id write a little script
20:22 rangi that does it, and uses Data::Dumper
20:22 rangi to dump the return
20:22 libsysguy not a bad idea
20:22 libsysguy thanks rangi
20:22 rangi np
20:29 libsysguy if i wanted to warn or print STDERR from inside Auth_with_ldap would I have to have debugging on?
20:29 libsysguy if so how do I set that
20:29 libsysguy because I'm not seeing either in koha-dev/var/log/
20:30 rangi try the main apache error log
20:31 rangi in /var/log/apache2
20:31 rangi sometimes it warns in there
20:31 libsysguy hmm its not in error.log
20:54 cait hi magnuse
20:57 magnuse guten abend cait & #koha
20:57 rangi hi melia
20:58 rangi doh
20:58 rangi magnuse:
20:58 rangi tab completion fail
20:58 magnuse :-)
20:58 magnuse lazy rangi thinks one letter is enough... ;-)
20:58 rangi :)
20:59 cait hehe
21:10 bencahill wizzyrea: ping
21:10 * wizzyrea looks around furtively
21:10 wizzyrea yes?
21:10 bencahill lol
21:11 bencahill wizzyrea: it's been running for 5:18, 2k items ??
21:11 wizzyrea on a slow server, our 700k took over 24 hours
21:11 wizzyrea so it really could take a very long time
21:12 bencahill wizzyrea: what's slow? this is a p4 2.4 with 256MB ram, an ide hdd
21:12 wizzyrea that's slow
21:12 bencahill 'k :-P
21:12 rangi a p4 ?
21:13 bencahill yup
21:13 wizzyrea 256MB of RAM
21:13 rangi dude 1999 called, it wants its hardware back
21:13 wizzyrea ^^
21:13 bencahill lol, I saw that coming
21:13 rangi :)
21:13 bencahill wizzyrea: we're replacing it with one that has 1GB of ram...this is just a small lib
21:13 wizzyrea 99 might be a little harsh
21:13 wizzyrea 2001 at least ;)
21:13 rangi :)
21:14 bencahill actually probably (realistically) probably more like 2004-5...p4 wasn't that long ago ;)
21:14 bencahill anywho, should I worry about these messages?
21:14 bencahill Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 2796.
21:15 rangi you can ignore those, at least you know its still doing something :)
21:15 bencahill ok :)
21:19 bencahill just for curiosity, why does the process take so long?
21:19 rhcl w/ 256mb of ram it's probably swapping
21:19 rangi parsing xml is slow
21:20 wizzyrea ^^
21:20 rangi and that too
21:20 wizzyrea you have other stuff running on this box?
21:20 bencahill rhcl: htop only shows 140MB ram being used (-buffers/cache)
21:20 rangi what is the cpu usage?
21:20 bencahill wizzyrea: not right now...it has a light X install so it can be used to manage koha as well, but not running right now
21:21 bencahill rangi: htop is showing around 20-30%
21:21 pianohacker Hello
21:21 wahanui privet, pianohacker
21:21 rangi i suspect I/O bound then
21:21 bencahill rangi: most likely...I'm not physically next to it though, so I can't check (unless there's an app for that...iotop?)
21:21 hdl1 hi pianohacker
21:22 wizzyrea well yea, on p4 hardware and IDE disks
21:22 cait hi pianohacker :)
21:22 wizzyrea whaddup PH
21:23 pianohacker Hey liz
21:23 pianohacker and cait and hdl1
21:24 bencahill rangi: it appears there are on average 3-4 mysqld threads writing at 200KB/s each..no telling about random access, so...
21:25 bencahill rangi: total disk write per sec varies from 800K to 4M
21:25 bencahill at least it's doing something :-P
21:25 wizzyrea ^^ take a nap
21:25 wizzyrea ;)
21:25 bencahill or just do something else ;)
21:26 bencahill and exit the screen session
21:26 * bencahill loves screen
21:26 rhcl bencahill: do you see the processes building up time in the ps table?
21:26 magnuse g'night #koha
21:28 cait g'night #koha
21:28 wizzyrea gnite cait and magnuse :)
21:28 cait :)
21:29 bencahill rhcl: yes
21:29 bencahill rhcl: largest is 1hr, 25min
21:39 nengard hey all, i am getting a report error and i don't know why - anyone have any pointers?
21:39 nengard select b.budget_name, sum(format(o.unitprice,2)) as "unitprice total", sum(o.rrp), sum(o.ecost), i.homebranch from aqorders o left join aqorders_items ai using (ordernumber) left join items i using (itemnumber) left join aqbudgets b using (budget_id) left join biblio bib on (bib.biblionumber=i.biblionumber) group by b.budget_name, i.homebranch where o.quantityreceived > 0
21:39 rangi does it run in mysql?
21:39 nengard no
21:39 nengard give me an error
21:40 nengard ERROR 1064 (42000):
21:40 rangi thats syntax error
21:40 nengard up
21:40 nengard yup
21:40 rangi 2 secs ill read it
21:40 rangi you cant do a where after a group by
21:40 wizzyrea where o.quantityreceived > '0'
21:41 wizzyrea and that
21:41 rangi put that before the group by
21:41 rangi and you dont need the ''
21:41 wizzyrea hrmph.
21:41 rangi if quantityreceived is an integer field
21:41 rangi :)
21:42 wizzyrea :P doesn't do it justice quite.
21:42 nengard when i did it the other way i got the same error
21:42 rangi well you can never have where after group by
21:42 rangi so that will never work ;)
21:42 nengard it was a space
21:42 nengard i think
21:42 rangi works for me in mysql
21:43 nengard you were right rangi, but the error was there when i tried it the other way before - cause of a space character - or a fluke
21:43 wizzyrea there was a fish in there?!
21:43 * wizzyrea teases
21:44 wizzyrea (she's gonna hit me, I just know it)
21:45 Agent_Dani heh
21:46 Agent_Dani Right, I've created enough mischief (Nagios disk monitoring, actually,) at work for one day; time for dinner with my wife then home!
21:47 nengard not gonna hit you
21:47 nengard too weak to fight ;)
21:49 nengard k - thanks all
21:49 nengard will be back after dinner
22:01 bencahill wizzyrea: YAY! it appears to have finished :)
22:02 bencahill wizzyrea: should I run rebuild_nozebra.pl now?
22:05 bencahill I don't think I'm using zebra...can't remember, how do I check?
22:08 rangi you should use zebra
22:09 rangi nozebra isnt supported in 3.4.x
22:09 rangi it might work, but no guarantees
22:09 bencahill rangi: ah...what should I do to enable/set it up?
22:09 rangi you will need to make sure the systempreference is set
22:09 bencahill rangi: where is that?
22:09 wahanui that is the problem
22:10 rangi and then read the INSTALL file for your distro
22:10 rangi in searching probably
22:10 bencahill rangi: I mean, is it in a file, or I need to change it via the backend?
22:10 bencahill s/I need/do I need/
22:10 rangi no in the systempreferences
22:11 bencahill rangi: ok, I haven't tried accessing koha since upgrading, lemme try it
22:12 bencahill rangi: it brings me to an update db page, will that link do the same thing I already did all over again?
22:12 bencahill that is, remove_items_from_biblioitems
22:13 rangi no
22:13 bencahill ok, so do that?
22:13 rangi yes
22:13 bencahill rangi: is this the upgradeitems.pl script it's running now?
22:13 rangi no
22:13 bencahill oh I see it now
22:13 bencahill two errors,
22:14 bencahill DBD::mysql::db do failed: Duplicate column name 'privacy' at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/installer/data/mysql/updatedatabase.pl line 3998.
22:14 bencahill ^^ twice
22:14 bencahill anything to worry about?
22:14 rangi nope that will be fine
22:14 bencahill okay, cool
22:15 bencahill great to see that it's still working :)
22:16 bencahill rangi: ok, so change NoZebra to 'Use'?
22:16 rangi yes
22:16 bencahill rangi: anything to do with NoZebraIndexes?
22:17 rangi no leave those as they are
22:17 bencahill ok
22:17 bencahill rangi: ok, saved...is there anything else I need to do manually, or it's all good to go?
22:17 rangi theres lots to do
22:17 bencahill hehe, ok :)
22:17 rangi take a look at teh INSTALL file for your distro
22:17 rangi on setting up zebra
22:18 bencahill rangi: I'm using arch...there's a build script for it, which did it all automatically...
22:18 rangi no the bit about setting it up with koha
22:19 bencahill I'll take a look at the deb install file
22:19 rangi setting up up the cron job, and the init.d script etc
22:19 rangi and rebuilding_zebra.pl etc
22:19 bencahill rangi: I mean that there's a package for koha in arch (it's just not in the repos, you have to download the PKGBUILD script)
22:20 rangi yes, but does it set up the cronjob to run rebuild_zebra?
22:20 bencahill rangi: no
22:23 bencahill rangi: just adapt the section "run the Zebra process as a daemon (automatic indexing)" to fit?
22:23 bencahill (in INSTALL.debian, that is)
22:23 rangi no set it up with the cronjob instead
22:23 rangi but the first thing you need to do
22:24 rangi is make sure zebrasrv is running
22:24 rangi and that you have done a rebuild_zebra.pl -r
22:25 bencahill ok, lemme make a daemon file for zebrasrv...
22:35 jenkins_koha Starting build 381 for job Koha_master (previous build: SUCCESS)
22:36 bencahill rangi: when I run zebrasrv, I get [fatal] Failed to read config `zebra.cfg'...
22:37 rangi how are you running it?
22:37 bencahill rangi: there are example config files (one for marcxml and one for marc21, and some more) in /usr/share/idzebra-2.0-examples
22:37 huginn New commit(s) kohagit: Bumping database version <http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=commitdiff;h=f0dba62bf33f8ee99c04738742d9d1e847fd0ca5> / Merge remote-tracking branch 'kc/new/bug_4002' into kcmaster <http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=commitdiff;h=965438cc366267a5571280464a0ddef76c7e613e> / bug_4002: issues referential integrity <http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=commitdiff;h=d0c9592592c0bd6c529
22:37 bencahill rangi: just zebrasrv -D
22:37 rangi yeah thats not the way
22:37 bencahill rangi: there's no zebra.cfg in /usr/share/koha
22:37 rangi take a look at the script for doing it under debian
22:37 bencahill rangi: ok, sec
22:38 rangi misc/bin/koha-zebra-ctl.sh
22:38 bencahill rangi: oh yeah, I shoulda looked at that :P
22:39 rangi :)
22:41 bencahill rangi: the script fails, because I don't have a 'daemon' exec :-/
22:41 rangi yeah, you'll have to use whatever tools arch uses, but that gives you the idea
22:41 bencahill rangi: gotcha
22:42 rangi the trick is, make sure what ever user runs zebrasrv
22:42 rangi is the same user that runs rebuild_zebra.pl
22:42 rangi and if you look in misc
22:42 bencahill rangi: ah
22:42 rangi cronjobs
22:42 rangi there is a crontab.example
22:43 bencahill rangi: ok
22:53 rangi libsysguy: you still about?
22:53 libsysguy i am indeed
22:54 libsysguy cursing LDAP
22:54 rangi heh
22:54 rangi so that error with hourly loans, only occurs in dropbox mode?
22:54 libsysguy yes it does
22:54 libsysguy at least that is the only place I've found it
22:54 rangi righto will see if i can do a fix for that
22:54 nengard libsysguy, you gonna sign off on partial payments?
22:54 bencahill rangi: is it fine for root to run zebrasrv, or should I have koha run it?
22:54 libsysguy yeah I was looking into doing a fix but I got tied up with this login business
22:54 nengard i was gonna test your sign off
22:55 libsysguy as soon as I get logins working I was going to patch it and test on master
22:55 libsysguy I figured it would be bad form to patch on an awaiting_qa branch
22:55 libsysguy :p
22:56 rangi no, thats fine, you can send a patch based on that branch
22:56 libsysguy oh really
22:56 rangi it just needs to be noted as such
22:56 libsysguy ohh gotcha...well I have a test server that is based on master that I just stood up today
22:56 libsysguy so if its better to do it that way I most certainly can
22:57 rangi if ($dropbox_branch) {
22:57 rangi my $calendar = Koha->new( branchcode => $dropbox_branch );
22:57 rangi you wont be able to
22:57 libsysguy nengard, sorry for the delay...I promise im not intentionally dragging my feet
22:57 rangi that line doesnt exist in master ;)
22:57 eythian bencahill: it's preferable to have koha run it
22:57 nengard libsysguy, surely wasn't thinking that
22:57 libsysguy ahh rangi
22:58 eythian I don't think it'll break, but it's better practice.
22:58 libsysguy so is there something I did wrong rangi...or was it actually a bug?
22:58 rangi its just missing ::Calendar
22:58 rangi 2 secs will fix and push
22:58 bencahill eythian: ok, so I can just add -u KOHAUID to zebrasrv?
22:58 libsysguy cool much appreciated
22:59 eythian bencahill: not sure, my scripts use the daemon command to launch it, that makes it overall more useful.
23:00 bencahill eythian: ok, thanks
23:00 eythian bencahill: see debian/scripts/koha-start-zebra for how it's done there.
23:00 eythian you can probably adapt that.
23:00 bencahill eythian: yes, that's what I've done...arch just doesn't use a daemon command like debian systems
23:01 eythian ah, odd. I would have thought it would.
23:01 bencahill eythian: arch is extremely simple in philosophy...so the less 'stuff', the better
23:01 bencahill :-)
23:02 bencahill rangi: so I've got zebrasrv as a nice daemon now...so run rebuild_zebra.pl now?
23:02 rangi yup with -r -b -a -v
23:02 eythian bencahill: I'm a big fan of having all the stuff that makes things easy ;)
23:03 rangi libsysguy: updated
23:03 libsysguy just saw that
23:03 libsysguy All the library staff left at 5 so I may test in the morning if that is ok
23:04 * libsysguy is afraid of the circulation desk
23:07 bencahill eythian: I'm a big fan of not being all confused ;)
23:07 libsysguy1 grr flaky interwebz
23:10 bencahill off to dinner...

23:58 libsysguy so I fixed our ldap issue but im not sure if I want to commit it because I'm pretty sure nobody has as messed up of an LDAP setup as we do :p
23:59 bencahill rangi: when I run that, it all looks good, but I see this at the end: [fatal] Could not select database biblios errCode=109
