00:30 dkg          i have an old koha 3.0.x install that i'm trying to maintain
00:30 dkg          barcode labels are not showing up properly (the pdf generated seems to be damaged)
00:30 dkg          i'm considering upgrading to a newer version to see if i can fix things
00:31 dkg          but i was wondering if there are any notes i should consider to do a more targeted fix first
00:34 dkg          it seems like there are two instances of prInitVars() getting called on lines 86 and 116 of labels/label-print-pdf.pl in the 3.0.x branch
01:05 dkg          i've reported the problem (and offered a patch) here: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7111
01:05 huginn       04Bug 7111: normal, P5, ---, cnighswonger, NEW , label-print-pdf.pl creates malformed pdf files due to duplicate initialization of PDF::Reuse
01:06 dkg          heh. i like the name of this channel's bot :)
01:06 rangi        unfortunately 3.0.x is no longer maintained
01:06 rangi        so the patch wont make it into a release, unless its based off master
01:06 dkg          that patch will apply to master
01:07 rangi        there was a huge amount of work done between 3.0 and 3.2 on lables
01:07 dkg          ah, nice.
01:07 rangi        ill change that from rel_3_0 to master then
01:07 dkg          when i get some spare cycles to upgrade this installation, what's the recommended upgrade path for a 3.0 installation?
01:07 dkg          rangi: it will apply to the master 3.0 branch
01:07 rangi        yup
01:07 rangi        thats why im changing the bug to say that
01:07 dkg          that is, it doesn't just apply to 3.0.6
01:08 rangi        if it says rel_3_0 .. no one will look at it :)
01:08 dkg          but i doubt it's meaningful for the 3.6 master
01:08 dkg          sorry for the confusion, i'm just getting my head around the version/branch situaton -- it's been several years since i've followed the koha community.
01:09 rangi        i think safest is go to to 3.2.0, then 3.4.5 (or .6) .. and then to 3.6.1 (when its released next month)
01:09 rangi        right we currently have 2 stable branches
01:09 rangi        3.4.x
01:09 rangi        and 3.6.x
01:09 dkg          ok, so don't try to do anything like jumping from 3.0.6 to 3.6.1 directly
01:09 rangi        and then master, which is the dev branch
01:09 rangi        it might work ;)
01:09 rangi        but id do a back up first
01:09 dkg          always
01:10 rangi        and read the Upgrade section of the INSTALL file
01:10 rangi        a few things changed in 3.4.x
01:10 dkg          gotcha.
01:10 rangi        including the templating engine and where marc data for items are stored
01:10 dkg          the upgrade scripts migrate data to the new place?
01:11 rangi        there is one you need to run, if you are migrating from an earlier version to 3.4.x
01:11 rangi        its documented in the INSTALL file tho
01:11 dkg          gotcha.
01:11 dkg          ok, thanks.
01:11 rangi        no worries, good luck
01:12 * dkg        wishes there was more time allocated to working on this installation :(
01:13 dkg          rangi: so is "master" the right designation for something that does only apply against the 3.0.x branch?
01:13 rangi        i thought you said it would apply to master?
01:13 rangi        ahh you meant it will only  apply to 3.0.x ?
01:13 dkg          sorry, i tried to clarify that.
01:14 rangi        yeah, that branch is dead, so that patch will never go anywhere
01:14 * dkg        sheds a tear into the unmaintained void
01:14 dkg          ah well
02:21 wizzyrea     what's up party people.
02:22 rangi        not much, i just want some ghost chips
02:22 eythian      you can't eat them
02:22 rangi        heh
02:22 wizzyrea     O.o
02:22 rangi        thats gonna be a new meme
02:22 rangi        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIYvD9DI1ZA
02:22 wizzyrea     oh dear
02:23 wizzyrea     fush chups!
02:23 rangi        puzzle time
02:23 rangi        thats another one thats gonna stick
02:23 wizzyrea     hmm that's one of the better psa's
02:23 rangi        yup
02:24 wizzyrea     "you didn't die. That's awesome!"
02:24 wizzyrea     um, paraphrased of course
03:13 wizzyrea     had anybody reported the fact that if you have 2 prices, for example $18.05 ($20.00 CAN) in the 020$c, imports to acq baskets fails?
03:14 wizzyrea     "only one decimal separator permitted on addorderiso2709.pl"
03:14 wizzyrea     line 209
03:18 rangi        hmm
03:19 rangi        nope
03:19 rangi        but cait would know for sure
03:19 wizzyrea     truf. will ask her
03:20 wizzyrea     I didn't check that on master
03:20 wizzyrea     3.05.11 I think
03:20 wizzyrea     will check that tomorrow
03:20 rangi        cool
03:23 wizzyrea     libsysguy?
03:23 wahanui      it has been said that libsysguy is Koha's hottest developer or partying with swedes on his deck
03:23 wizzyrea     keke
03:23 libsysguy    hehe
03:23 libsysguy    you always get me wizzyrea
03:23 wizzyrea     i do :)
03:23 libsysguy    what are you doing up so late
03:23 wizzyrea     pf it's only 10:30
03:23 wizzyrea     bug hunting, actually
03:24 libsysguy    haha i know…but if feels like I've been cleaning forever
03:24 libsysguy    wow…this seems like gender reversal
03:24 wizzyrea     ^.^
03:24 libsysguy    ohhh bug hunting
03:24 libsysguy    i thought you said you'd been hunting :p
03:24 * wizzyrea   has been defying (some) gender stereotypes since 1979
03:24 libsysguy    what bug is bugging you?
03:25 wizzyrea     oh, I figured out what was happening
03:25 libsysguy    ohh
03:25 libsysguy    was it the syspref that you were talking about earlier today?
03:25 wizzyrea     it was a bug in acq, where if you have 2 prices in the 020$c, for example $10.00 (20.00 CAN) acq comes back with a fatal error
03:25 wizzyrea     nope, that's a project for tomorrow too though :)
03:26 libsysguy    speaking of projects I need to round up the notices group
03:26 wizzyrea     oh, I should specify: when the record is being brought in from a staged file
03:26 libsysguy    wizzyrea++ for squishing bugs
03:26 wizzyrea     well I haven't squished it yet
03:27 wizzyrea     but I did find it.
03:27 wizzyrea     :P
03:27 libsysguy    i take it back :p
03:27 wizzyrea     hey knowing is half the battle

08:09 sophie_m     hi cait
08:09 cait         hi sophie_m :)
09:13 fabio_t      Hi folks! :)
09:15 cait         hi fabio_t
09:16 fabio_t      I'm importing some records from the GUI, but I'm having problems with diacritics.
09:17 fabio_t      I'm on Koha 3.6 (.deb version) and I can't find the preference for template encoding - I'm not sure if Koha's intranet are UTF-8 or Latin
09:17 fabio_t      * intranet is
09:18 fabio_t      Browser (Firefox) is UTF-8
09:19 fabio_t      output of SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "character\_set\_%"; in mysql is the following:
09:19 fabio_t      character_set_client     | latin1 | | character_set_connection | latin1 | | character_set_database   | latin1 | | character_set_filesystem | binary | | character_set_results    | latin1 | | character_set_server     | latin1 | | character_set_system     | utf8
09:20 cait         are your records utf8?
09:20 fabio_t      if I run SHOW CREATE TABLE somekohatable; it returns utf8
09:20 cait         hm,
09:21 cait         there used to be a tutorial on the wiki about setting up mysql
09:21 cait         not sure it's up to date yet
09:21 cait         http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Encoding_and_Character_Sets_in_Koha
09:21 cait         still
09:22 fabio_t      I'm not sure, i have a .iso file with the records, how can i check if they're utf8?
09:22 fabio_t      thank you cait, i'm checking it
09:22 cait         fabio_t: not sure :(
09:23 cait         perhaps they are marc8
09:23 cait         you can set the encoding when importing the records
09:23 cait         perhaps try different settings
09:25 fabio_t      unfortunately i didn't make the export file myself
09:26 fabio_t      some more info: i'm on Linux Mint 11
09:26 fabio_t      if i run locale -a i got this:
09:26 fabio_t      C en_AG en_AG.utf8 en_AU.utf8 en_BW.utf8 en_CA.utf8 en_DK.utf8 en_GB.utf8 en_HK.utf8 en_IE.utf8 en_IN en_IN.utf8 en_NG en_NG.utf8 en_NZ.utf8 en_PH.utf8 en_SG.utf8 en_US.utf8 en_ZA.utf8 en_ZW.utf8 it_CH.utf8 it_IT.utf8 POSIX zh_CN.utf8 zh_SG.utf8
09:26 cait         hm if you run locale?
09:27 cait         I think the problem is probably not your database
09:27 fabio_t      LANG=it_IT.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=it:en LC_CTYPE="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_TIME="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_NAME="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_ALL=
09:27 cait         but the data import
09:27 cait         I would try importing them with different encodings
09:27 cait         and see if one works
09:27 cait         there is a pulldown
09:27 cait         for encoding on the page for staged import
09:28 fabio_t      could i set encoding by importing them with the GUI?
09:28 fabio_t      ok thanks
09:30 fabio_t      are Koha 3.6 pages UTF8 by default?
09:31 cait         they should be yes
09:33 fabio_t      ty
09:43 fabio_t      tried with UTF-8 instead of Default in the pulldown but no way
09:44 fabio_t      è and similar characters are still messed up
09:46 fabio_t      i will try to edit my.cnf
09:47 fabio_t      do i have to create the database again after that?
09:50 fabio_t      no probably just restart mysqld
09:50 fabio_t      sorry
10:31 fabio_t      see you and thanks again cait

12:44 oleonard     cait: I mapped out some revised acquisitions navigation last night when I couldn't sleep :)
12:45 cait         not sure if I should say yay now or worry :)
12:45 cait         I am working on reimplementing an old patch right now, to show the fund on the receive screen... still working my way through acq :)
12:45 cait         oleonard: so what does it look like? :)
12:46 oleonard     It's all on paper at the moment. Actual paper!
12:46 oleonard     What I'm worried about is that Biblibre might have a branch full of acquisitions changes which will be disruptive
12:48 chris_n      oleonard++ # for making use of a sleepless night ;-)
12:48 oleonard     Thank goodness it wasn't the whole night
12:49 cait         hm
12:49 chris_n      I've been doing some pretty neat stuff with Data Tables and jEditable in an in house app
12:49 cait         have you seen the google doc paul linked to from one of the bugs?
12:49 cait         they have a list
12:49 chris_n      there's a lot of potential I think for Koha and Datatables
12:49 cait         there is a lot of acq work
12:50 cait         but if we wait... nothing will move forward in my experience
12:50 chris_n      lack_of_coordination--
12:51 cait         I am all for coordination
12:51 cait         only it's hard
12:54 oleonard     chris_n: I think that's the direction we're going, but I'm not sure where to begin
12:55 chris_n      I think that short schedules and lack of time probably is the big coordination killer
12:57 cait         lack of communication is another
12:58 chris_n      right; I think that may fall prey to scheduling as well
12:58 cait         i think even if we coordinate
12:58 cait         there will always be some conflicts to solve
12:58 cait         and one of the problem with coordinating is
12:58 chris_n      it might be helpful to have regular monthly meetings for each component of Koha
12:58 cait         that we are not good at submitting things when they are supposed to be submitted
12:59 chris_n      or at least those undergoing rapid development
12:59 cait         which would be necessary to build one feature on the other
12:59 cait         instead we keep waiting, because we know someone is working on it
12:59 chris_n      true
12:59 cait         and things never get fixed
12:59 cait         and I am really tired of that
13:48 oleonard     cait: This is the kind of change I'm working on: http://screencast.com/t/zX4UhFfJc Grouping "view" actions in the left-hand menu, "do" actions in the toolbar
13:50 cait         looks cool :)
13:50 cait         but will it work for a vendor list?
13:50 oleonard     No :) But I'm still working on the contextual logic
13:50 cait         ok :)
13:50 cait         I am almost done with showing the fund on the receive page :)

14:18 wizzyrea     cait did you know that?
14:18 wizzyrea     and good morning :)
14:18 cait         no i didn#t
14:18 cait         never occured in my tests - wrong data I guess
14:19 wizzyrea     yea, OCLC has an annoying habit of putting the USD and the CDN both in there, apparently
14:19 cait         hi jcamins and wizzyrea :)
14:19 cait         CDN?
14:19 wizzyrea     or CAN
14:19 wizzyrea     canadian price
14:20 cait         ah
14:21 cait         is 3388 still desirable?

14:23 cait         :)
14:23 * wizzyrea   worked for the very first time last night in acquisitions
14:23 wizzyrea     it's a scary place, but works well enough.
14:24 cait         yes, it's a scary place :)
14:24 cait         I have some patches waiting for sign-off...
14:24 cait         *hinthint*
14:24 cait         heh
14:24 wizzyrea     >.< I don't know it that well
14:24 wizzyrea     speaking of which, I need to go check on the circ bugs.
14:25 oleonard     Give 'em a little honey, they love that.
14:25 wizzyrea     they tell me you attract more bugs with honey
14:25 wizzyrea     not so sure I want to do that >.>
14:25 cait         hehe
14:25 * wizzyrea   gets out the RAID
14:26 * cait       feels lonely in acq
14:27 wizzyrea     we really need the people using it to be testing the fixes, but I'm not sure of the best strategy to get them involved
14:27 wizzyrea     people with mature acquisitions data
14:34 cait         I think most of the fixes right now are small
14:34 cait         and easy to test
14:34 wizzyrea     msg me a list and I'll try to sign off on some this afternoon
14:38 cait         um, ok
14:39 wizzyrea     i mean of the ones you consider easy
14:39 wizzyrea     lol

14:42 wizzyrea     well 6894 and 4161 are sort of related
14:45 wizzyrea     yea I can knock out several of those I think
14:45 wizzyrea     at least I can verify the functionality
14:47 cait         so, back to 3388 - desirable or unimportant?
14:47 cait         and where would you display it on the vendor page?
14:47 * wizzyrea   is not qualified to have an opinion
14:47 cait         aaw

15:25 Barrc        Does anyone have libraries/tools for making global changes to marcxml in biblioitems?
15:25 Barrc        Or should I rip it out, parse it, change it and put it back in *sigh*!
15:26 jcamins      Barrc: I usually either write a script to make the change, or export everything, edit outside Koha, then reimport, matching in the 999$c.

15:29 oleonard     exposé? :)
15:30 oleonard     I'm with you though rhcl, Overdrive is a mess. Unfortunately it's the only mess we have at the moment.

15:31 jcamins      Did I miss something?
15:32 Barrc        oleonard: what about Clipper?
15:32 Barrc        as an Overdrive replacement?
15:33 oleonard     Barrc: Don't know it
15:33 oleonard     jcamins: We're talking Overdrive on the ByWater partners list
15:33 Barrc        oh, its basically OverDrive but cheaper and seemingly better  - I am not involved in anyway BTW!!

16:12 wahanui      i already had it that way, huginn.
16:17 jcamins      jcamins?
16:17 wahanui      i guess jcamins is supposed to be an outstanding cook. or well-traveled and brilliant. or trying to think of a solution, but short of a set of three sysprefs (ShelfBrowserUsesLocation, ShelfBrowserUsesCcode, and ShelfBrowserUsesHomeBranch), I don't really have any ideas. or awesome fixing broken email notifications or the wizard that forges queries in the deep fires of zebra
16:18 jcamins      In another six months, perhaps wahanui will know a full screen-ful about me. :)

16:35 cait         sorry, starting to read back
16:35 cait         there is a follow up waiting
16:35 wizzyrea     not sure what I mean
16:35 wizzyrea     what you mean
16:35 cait         if you have a basket that was created by a user that has been deleted - it will explode
16:35 cait         the vendor search problem
16:35 wizzyrea     well, I have not deleted any users
16:35 wizzyrea     and this is the first time I've used aca
16:35 wizzyrea     acq
16:36 cait         hm check your authorisedby in aqbaskets?
16:36 wizzyrea     1st vendor
16:36 cait         so that's not good then
16:36 cait         you have all permissions and are using a real user?
16:36 wizzyrea     oh, that could be it
16:36 wizzyrea     "real user"
16:36 wizzyrea     sec
16:37 wizzyrea     ok, it still does it with a real user
16:37 cait         and you have no baskets hm.
16:37 cait         it still could be related to the other problem
16:37 wizzyrea     I think I do have a basket, but none created by a deleted user
16:38 wizzyrea     created by the superlibrarian maybe
16:38 wizzyrea     the super super librarian
16:38 wizzyrea     i.e. the koha user

16:38 cait         wizzyrea: yep maybe
16:39 cait         can you go into mysql and make the authorisedby columns of aqbaskets a valid borrowernumer?
16:39 cait         or apply ian's follow up from the bug above
16:41 wizzyrea     well the followup doesn't apply
16:41 wizzyrea     even with 3 way
16:42 wizzyrea     yea, they're authorisedby 0
16:44 wizzyrea     yes, changing them to a valid borrowernumber fixes it
16:46 cait         sorry, got distracted
16:46 wizzyrea     and I was logged in with the non-user user when I created it
16:46 wizzyrea     so that's my bad

17:30 huginn       03Attachment http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=6099&action=edit image/png, screenshot of acq permissions, acq_permissions.png
17:30 cait         hehe
17:30 cait         you woke him up
18:16 oleonard     Bug 4000 is a great example of an old acq bug that just hasn't gotten any attention
18:16 huginn       04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4000 normal, P5, ---, henridamien, NEW , Budgets table doesn't show tree view for sub-budgets
18:16 oleonard     Sounds like a potentially good interface tweak, but no sign of it working.
18:34 cait         oleonard: there are a lot of those
18:35 cait         my personal favourite for today is budget search
18:35 cait         bug 3969
18:35 huginn       04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3969 major, P5, ---, henridamien, NEW , Budget Search Doesn't Work
18:35 cait         filed in 2009, never got any attention despite people confirming the bug :(
18:36 maximep      oh wow, never noticed that there was a way to search budgets
18:36 cait         there isn't
18:36 cait         well, not a working way
18:36 cait         only nice interface
18:39 wizzyrea     there cait, I am done with your list :)
18:39 cait         wizzyrea++ :)
18:39 cait         nicely done!
18:39 wizzyrea     um, no
18:39 wizzyrea     *you* nicely done
18:39 wizzyrea     that's a ton of bugs squished.
18:40 wizzyrea     cait++
18:40 cait         hehe
18:40 cait         I have another
18:40 wizzyrea     shoot
18:40 cait         adding an account number to the vendor page
18:40 cait         let me find you the bug number
18:44 cait         bug 3388
18:44 huginn       04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3388 minor, PATCH-Sent, ---, katrin.fischer, NEW , Add a Vendor page does not have field for accountnumber
18:44 cait         and it has a test plan ;)
18:44 wizzyrea     love those.
18:44 jcamins      ago++ # for impending bug fixing
18:46 oleonard     Future karma eh ;)
18:46 oleonard     I thought the Department of PreKarma had been discredited
18:46 jcamins      @karma ago
18:46 huginn       jcamins: Karma for "ago" has been increased 1 time and decreased 3 times for a total karma of -2.
18:47 oleonard     decreased? A fluke of username, surely.
18:47 jcamins      Since his nick is a regular word that has lost karma in the past, I thought he deserved some appreciation.
18:47 dkg          oleonard: the department of PreKarma will have been discredited.
18:51 maximep      cait: just for fun I was looking at the budget search. Would it be possible for you to try moving 1 line of code and to see if it helps ?
18:52 cait         yep, but after dinner?
18:52 cait         can you tell me what to do?
18:52 maximep      sure
18:52 maximep      will pm it to u
18:52 cait         my dad has cooked dinner - can't be late for that :)
18:52 cait         thanks!
18:53 wizzyrea     maximep: if you put it in here someone else may grab it up
18:53 wizzyrea     and try
18:54 oleonard     I guess I Ctrl-W'ed the wrong window
18:54 wizzyrea     oops
18:55 maximep      well
18:56 maximep      line 79 of aqbudgets seems to use a key that is deleted right on the line above
18:56 maximep      so i guess moving it before the delete would help
18:57 maximep      bbl
19:14 wizzyrea     looks like the budget search has something to do with the hidden input for period
19:14 wizzyrea     if you take it out it works
19:18 wizzyrea     well there was a typo in the template var name I think... limiting by library still doesn't work
19:31 * oleonard   grumbles
19:32 wizzyrea     y u grumble happy man
19:32 jcamins      Because it's Friday and he's at work after 3?
19:32 oleonard     Before I check to see why something is broken in my working acq branch I really ought to check to see if it's broken in master too
19:32 oleonard     which it is.
19:32 jcamins      oleonard: don't you usually leave at 3 on Fridays?
19:33 oleonard     Only if I'm lucky :)
19:33 * oleonard   isn't lucky this week
19:39 wizzyrea     ooo kay
19:41 wizzyrea     the budgets search is one of those delightful bugs where allofasudden it works
19:41 wizzyrea     but what you did doesn't make sense... and then you undo it... and it's still fixed.
19:42 Danielle     >.<
19:47 oleonard     wizzyrea: What wasn't working before?
19:47 wizzyrea     the budgets search
19:47 wahanui      i think the budgets search is one of those delightful bugs where allofasudden it works
19:48 wizzyrea     in admin
19:49 wizzyrea     forget the budgets search
19:49 wahanui      wizzyrea: I forgot budgets search
19:49 oleonard     It doesn't appear to be working for me
19:50 wizzyrea     that's just it, I dinked around with it
19:50 wizzyrea     specifically, I got rid of the hidden input "period" for one refresh
19:50 wizzyrea     which made it work
19:50 wizzyrea     and then, even when I put that back and changed other stuff, it was still working
19:51 wizzyrea     I don't see a place to define a specific period anyway, but I might not be looking at it correclty.
19:57 oleonard     Weird... if I'm not mistaken aqbudgets.pl doesn't actually search budgets, it retrieves all of them but supposedly tosses any results that don't match your search?
19:57 wizzyrea     there is a lot of weird there.
19:58 oleonard     my @budgets = @$moo; #FIXME
19:58 oleonard     How very succinct.
19:58 * wizzyrea   suggests oleonard go take a vacation in the OPAC
19:58 wizzyrea     things are pretty well sane there.
19:59 oleonard     Yeah, only I'd probably end up in lists or tags and oh god the pain.
20:00 wizzyrea     hmm, well the patron update screen could use some new divs :P

20:00 wizzyrea     and the messaging screen too.
20:01 wizzyrea     if you wanted something where you didn't have to think too hard.
20:01 wizzyrea     lol
20:01 wizzyrea     do note, I had planned on doing those myself :P
20:06 cait         back
20:06 wizzyrea     how was dinner?
20:06 cait         om nomnomnom :)
20:06 cait         yummy
20:06 wizzyrea     :D
20:13 cait         wizzyrea: did you try the fix from maximep?
20:14 wizzyrea     yes, but no result
20:14 wizzyrea     it was still broken, unless you found differently
20:14 cait         haven't tried it yet
20:16 oleonard     Happy weekend everyone
20:21 cait         bye oleonard, have a nice weekend :)

20:22 wizzyrea     oh my gracious
20:22 wizzyrea     so many acq things
20:26 cait         to sign off or bugs?
20:27 rangi        who has 2 mins
20:27 * wizzyrea   does
20:27 wizzyrea     what ya got
20:27 rangi        do you have a user that has some comments?
20:27 cait         well, wizzyrea was first :)
20:27 rangi        login as them
20:27 rangi        then look at
20:27 rangi        cgi-bin/koha/opac-showreviews.pl
20:28 wizzyrea     more than one comment?
20:28 wizzyrea     on different items?
20:29 rangi        i just want to know if any show at all :)

20:29 huginn       04Bug 2075: enhancement, P3, ---, gmcharlt, NEW , complete opac/opac-showreviews.pl (My Reviews page)
20:29 rangi        looking at this, it looks like its pretty close to done to me
20:30 wizzyrea     cgi-bin/koha/opac-showreviews.pl
20:30 wizzyrea     er
20:30 wizzyrea     no
20:30 wizzyrea     sec
20:30 wizzyrea     http://screencast.com/t/GDxOK8oVx
20:30 wizzyrea     there we go
20:31 wizzyrea     looks nice to me
20:31 rangi        cool
20:31 wizzyrea     even looks nice in my pretty OPAC
20:31 rangi        so i reckon it just needs a liknk from opac-user.pl eh?
20:31 wizzyrea     though the comment form will need some attention from me
20:32 wizzyrea     yea, I think so!
20:32 rangi        sweet
20:32 wizzyrea     I am kind of in there, I can do it
20:32 rangi        :)
20:32 rangi        cool
20:33 wizzyrea     so that's already in the code base?
20:33 wizzyrea     it just needs to be linked in/linked up
20:33 rangi        yep
20:33 wizzyrea     sweet. a project. :)
20:34 rangi        bug 941
20:34 huginn       04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=941 enhancement, P2, ---, paul.poulain, REOPENED , In advanced search : ask for controlled terms for "subject"
20:34 cait         I think there is a sys pref now
20:34 rangi        what does that even mean?
20:34 cait         subjects
20:35 cait         it's something my library wants to
20:35 cait         too
20:35 rangi        a syspref for what cait?
20:35 cait         if you use authorities,
20:35 cait         for the comments I think
20:35 rangi        and if you can explain it better on the bug
20:35 cait         to make it a link in the nav
20:35 cait         ok, mixing things up
20:35 cait         I had wine :)
20:35 rangi        thats for recent comments for everything
20:35 wizzyrea     not usercomments
20:35 rangi        this is just your own comments, to go in hte left hand nav when you are logged in
20:36 rangi        cait: bug 941 if you explain it better on the bug, sounds like something i could work on when sitting on the stand
20:36 cait         :)
20:36 cait         oki
20:38 wizzyrea     yea, I don't see a pref for user comments - is there one to turn commenting off entirely?
20:38 wizzyrea     i suppose we shouldn't show the tab if you can't place comments :P
20:38 * wizzyrea   will hunt around.
20:38 rangi        yep
20:38 wizzyrea     found ti
20:38 jcamins      rangi: so now you can work on your own programming projects... any big plans for what you want to work on during the 3.8 cycle? :)
20:39 rangi        hmmyou might need to check that showreviews.pl does only show your own wizzyrea
20:39 wizzyrea     k will check
20:39 rangi        i think it might have been taken over to show all recent comments
20:39 rangi        http://www.flickr.com/photos/ranginui/6286661935/in/photostream
20:40 rangi        in which case, it will need to be changed
20:40 rangi        to accept a borrowernumber and have opac-user.pl set that
20:40 * rangi      makes your project bigger
20:40 wizzyrea     ^.^
20:41 rangi        jcamins: pretty much all stuff to do with the opac
20:41 wizzyrea     i approve of this
20:41 rangi        ill do staff side stuff if ppl pay me to
20:41 wizzyrea     the staff side is for the library, but the opac is for the *people*
20:42 rangi        but for my own stuff, openlibrary ebooks, a 'public' profile page in the opac for ppl who want to be able to show ppl what they read, etc

20:42 rangi        (needed to show ppl badges too when we get that)
20:43 wizzyrea     *nod*
20:43 rangi        threaded comments
20:43 rangi        maybe
20:43 wizzyrea     those are great projects :D
20:43 rangi        that kinda stuff
20:44 rangi        the openlibrary api's are very nice
20:44 rangi        so that wont be hard
20:44 rangi        i did have some good talks with karen coombs at access as well, so maybe leverage some more oclc api also
20:50 cait         :)
20:50 cait         rangi++
20:55 rangi        i do really like the libravatar stuff http://www.flickr.com/photos/ranginui/6286655293/in/photostream
20:56 rangi        i think doing stuff like this, will do more to help libraries and thus koha survive
20:56 rangi        than adding yet another set of insanely complex rules/workflow in the admin side
20:57 * jcamins    agrees.
20:57 jcamins      Though I do think that the loudest researchers use tracings, and therefore they should work.
20:58 rangi        yup
20:58 cait         features should do what you expect them to do
20:58 cait         i don't like hald-done things
20:58 rangi        yup
21:00 rangi        the problem is, everyone expects them to something else
21:03 rangi        to do even
21:06 cait         hm yes
21:06 cait         true :)
21:08 rangi        i think do what they say they do
21:08 rangi        is a good thing to aim for
21:08 rhcl         The State of Missouri has selected Evergreen for the new state-wide consortial supported ILS.
21:08 rangi        awesome
21:08 cait         nice :)
21:08 rhcl         yep
21:09 rangi        south australia just selected symphony
21:09 rangi        one living in the future
21:09 rhcl         [off]Sirsi was the other consideration
21:09 rangi        one paying for the past
21:10 cait         yeah I saw that :(
21:10 rangi        one paying a stupid amount of money for the past too actually
21:11 rhcl         Koha is going to remain a big player for individual libraries, I'm sure. We have a meeting with two people from MOREnet (University of Missouri tech support) about Koha next week.
21:11 rangi        evergreen or koha is fine by me, as long as its free software im happy :()
21:11 rangi        hmm :) even
21:11 rhcl         I've always tried to emphasize that Koha and EG, and the two communities themselves, play well together.
21:12 rangi        yup, i spent a lot of time chatting and drinking with the EG developers at access
21:12 rangi        well the sitka based ones anyway
21:13 rangi        with fulfillment they will play even nicer together
22:59 libsysguy    if I delete an item from the items table the cascades should take care of the other entries right?
23:06 cait         there are no other tables for items
23:06 cait         hm
23:06 cait         or not sure
23:06 cait         perhap sin acq and serials
23:06 libsysguy    oh well i mean biblionumbers
23:06 libsysguy    sorry
23:06 cait         no, if you delete all items it will not delete the biblio
23:06 libsysguy    yeah I have a list of 186,000 ebooks that i have to delete
23:07 cait         why not undo the import?
23:07 libsysguy    what if i delete from biblioitems
23:07 cait         ah, no staged marc import? but bulkmarcimported them?
23:07 libsysguy    because the import was when I did the whole collection
23:07 libsysguy    these are just ebooks from a journal we are no longer subscribing to
23:07 libsysguy    so we need to take them out of the catalog
23:09 cait         hm I think probably biblio, bilbioitems, items
23:09 libsysguy    yeah that all i really want
23:09 cait         normally you have to look for holds, subscriptions, checkouts...
23:09 cait         but for ebooks it might be ok?
23:09 libsysguy    yeah I think it is
23:10 rangi        if you delete the biblio, the cascade/foreign keys will get rid of the biblioitems and items
23:10 rangi        of course back up before you do it
23:10 libsysguy    oh yes I have already done a backup
23:10 libsysguy    :)
23:12 cait         rangi++ for being a great source of wisdom
23:12 cait         ;)
23:12 rangi        you will need to do a full reindex
23:12 rangi        if you do it in the db tho
23:12 rangi        if you write a script that uses the api
23:13 rangi        then it will put rows in the zebraqueue for you
23:19 libsysguy    dang it i ran it in the db…but I wasn planning on doing a full reindex anyway
23:19 libsysguy    i figured putting it in zebraqueue would still lag it out since it runs every 5 mins
23:19 rangi        yup
23:19 libsysguy    also kill the partial update cronjob :p
23:20 rangi        but search stays up while you do it
23:20 libsysguy    ahh true
23:20 libsysguy    well the catalog only gets about 200 hits on fridays anyway
23:20 libsysguy    and most of them have already happened…the college kids are in the process of getting wasted…they care not about researching :p
23:21 rangi        :)
23:21 rangi        you could use at
23:21 rangi        to schedule the reindex to run at 1am
23:21 rangi        i do that
23:21 libsysguy    true…i actually already have that set up
23:22 libsysguy    to run on the first at midnight
23:22 libsysguy    but I have never turned it on
23:22 rangi        yeah that would be fine then
23:22 rangi        at does a one off
23:22 rangi        so i use it a lot to do things when i dont want to be awake to do them
23:22 libsysguy    haha exactly
23:24 jcamins_away Uh-oh. Indexing issues at UT Tyler?
23:24 libsysguy    umm I hope not
23:24 libsysguy    I just had to delete 186K records
23:24 jcamins_away Ah.
23:24 libsysguy    so I figured a reindex was in order
23:25 jcamins_away Seems like a good idea.
23:27 libsysguy    aw man i forgot to run zebra with the -v
23:27 libsysguy    now all I have to watch is top
23:28 jcamins_away I hate it when I do that.
23:59 cait         night all :)
23:59 libsysguy    night cait
23:59 libsysguy    later guys dinner time :)
