06:55 cait           good morning #koha
07:43 rangi          hmm this practice of having master and 3.6.x have the same version numbers makes things confusing
07:44 cait           agreed
07:44 rangi          like that message now on koha-devel
07:45 rangi          I was all what? 3.6.3 doesn't exist yet
07:45 rangi          then I realised it was master
07:46 cait           I had said that it would make it hard
07:46 cait           to help people
07:47 cait           because it's confusing
07:47 cait           hm, next irc meeting?
07:47 wahanui        next irc meeting is probably 14 June 2011 1800 UTC+0
07:48 cait           forget next irc meeting
07:48 wahanui        cait: I forgot next irc meeting
07:50 rangi          both chris_n and I emailed paul about the version numbers, ignored us, hopefully someone else will have more success
07:53 cait           I brought it up on the meeting
07:53 cait           when did you mail?
07:54 rangi          hmmm couple of months ago?
07:54 cait           so before the meeting? meh.
07:57 cait           we can only try again I guess.

08:51 rangi          you can do

08:51 rangi          [% somedate_from_the_db | $KohaDates %]
08:52 rangi          and it will print out in the format specified by the syspref

09:45 magnuse        ata marie rangi
09:46 cait           morning magnuse :)
09:46 magnuse        rangi: yup, i'm sort of involved in donum
09:46 magnuse        i'm on the board, but it's not my initiative
09:46 rangi          ahhh
09:47 magnuse        and i have been meaning to translate some stuff and send it to the list and the newsletter, by way of introduction
09:47 magnuse        but have not gotten around to it yet...
09:47 rangi          i hear that
09:47 rangi          a round tuit
09:47 rangi          everyone needs one
09:47 magnuse        hehe
09:48 rangi          http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/round_tuit
09:48 magnuse        yeah, i remember it from an earlier discussion ;-)
09:48 rangi          :)
09:49 magnuse        very clever :-)
09:49 cait           can I order a dozen?
09:50 rangi          that reminds me of a bad christmas joke
09:50 cait           wb paul_p
09:51 magnuse        i'd give one each to eythian and srdjan so they could wrap up you-know-what... ;-)
09:51 magnuse        kia ora paul_p!
09:51 paul_p         hello cait. My laptop wifi connection is silly today...
09:51 paul_p         hello magnuse
09:51 rangi          do you know who king wenceslas is magnuse ?
09:52 rangi          the joke doesnt work unless you know the song :)
09:53 magnuse        well, i have heard the name, but don't know much more than that
09:54 magnuse        Wikipedia: "Good King Wenceslas" is a popular Christmas carol about a king who goes out to give alms to a poor peasant on the Feast of Stephen (the second day of Christmas, December 26). During the journey, his page is about to give up the struggle against the cold weather, but is enabled to continue by following the king's footprints, step for step, through the deep snow.
09:54 magnuse        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_King_Wenceslas
09:54 rangi          yep
09:55 rangi          so the joke is
09:55 rangi          how does King Wenceslas like his pizza?
09:55 rangi          Deep pan, crisp and even
09:56 * magnuse      is baffled
09:56 rangi          ah
09:56 rangi          you need to read the lyrics

09:57 rangi          4th line

10:54 cait           huh?
10:55 magnuse        maybe it was just gmail? recent mail to the list that showed a looong string of hexadecimal or whatchamancallit
11:15 cait           not sur ewhichmail you refer too
11:15 cait           can't see one with attachement

11:17 magnuse        might be gmail playing tricks
11:17 cait           html attachementscrubbed
11:17 cait           it's not gmail I think, it's the attachement
11:18 cait           yep
11:18 cait           saved it as .html and now it shows text and screenshot
11:19 cait           she is not using the xslt views
11:19 magnuse        ah
11:23 * magnuse      had some fun creating a simple munin plugin for koha (running off the packages) last night: https://github.com/MagnusEnger/munin-koha/blob/master/koha_- it can monitor the number of rows in any table in the db
11:23 magnuse        not sure how useful that is...
11:30 cait           for checking on the gratis koha? :)
11:34 magnuse        yup, and the customers, when i move them to tha packages
11:35 cait           oh the link is broken
11:37 magnuse        https://github.com/MagnusEnger/munin-koha/blob/master/koha_
11:37 magnuse        shouldn't have the - at the end
12:51 nengard        http://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo is loading up but I can't get to the koha-docs list to approve a post ? any ideas?
12:51 magnuse        heh, norwegian broadcasting did an item on bad eyesight - check out the graphic they chose to illustrate it with: http://www.vg.no/nyheter/innenriks/artikkel.php?artid=10032833 ;-)
12:52 cait           hm not sure
12:52 cait           did they start moving them?
12:53 nengard        not sure
12:54 nengard        is paul_p around?
12:54 paul_p         yep.
12:54 paul_p         good morning nengard
12:54 nengard        Hiya paul!
12:54 nengard        do you know why i can't access the documentation list?
12:54 nengard        http://lists.koha-community.org works, but not the docs list and I have an email to approve
12:55 paul_p         nengard, nope, https://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-docs works for me
12:55 paul_p         (except I can't login, I don't know the password)
12:55 nengard        hmmm
12:55 nengard        it keeps timing out for me
12:56 paul_p         https://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/admin/koha-docs works well
12:56 paul_p         (do you notice the httpS ?)
12:57 nengard        i am clicking the link you're pasting and it's timing out
12:57 nengard        and i clicked the link in my email and the link on the lists.koha-community.org page as well
12:57 nengard        all time out
12:57 nengard        cait can you try it?
12:57 cait           times out for me too paul_p
12:57 cait           on it :)
12:57 cait           it works with http
12:57 paul_p         shame on our VPN I think.
12:57 cait           but something in the setup seems wrong then
12:57 cait           perhaps not move that part over :)
12:58 * paul_p       just called lducos to come here, it's our sysadmin
12:59 cait           nengard: http://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/admin/koha-docs
12:59 nengard        that worked!
12:59 nengard        thanks cait
12:59 paul_p         does it mean we don't need lducos anymore ?
12:59 paul_p         ( nengard &cait ) ?
13:00 nengard        i'm not sure what lducos is
13:00 nengard        oh your sys admin
13:00 jcamins_away   nengard: paul_p's sysadmin.
13:00 nengard        well the http link works
13:00 nengard        so the links on the page are wrong, but i can get in
13:01 cait           paul_p: who is hiding behind lducos?
13:01 paul_p         cait, Laurent Ducos
13:02 nengard        okay my password isn't working
13:02 nengard        anyone know how i get that reset?
13:02 paul_p         nengard, lducos once again ;-)
13:02 nengard        hehe
13:02 cait           heh
13:03 cait           so we need him :)
13:03 * cait         waves at lducos
13:03 nengard        hi lducos
13:03 lducos         hello koha
13:03 nengard        we have a couple issues
13:03 nengard        #1 I can't log in to the koha-docs mailing list admin
13:04 paul_p         ( URL: http://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/admin/koha-docs)
13:04 nengard        #2 all the links to the mailing lists start with https but time out with https for those of us not at biblibre
13:04 nengard        if you go to lists.koha-community.org and click any link they time out
13:05 paul_p         lducos, I confirm I can reach the https version, but not nengard or cait. My feeling is that it's a VPN problem. Note that #2 is not a blocker, as the http link work
13:06 nengard        true, but when i click links in the admin interface they all go to https so i need to edit the url in the address bar for them all - so it's kinda annoying
13:16 lducos         nengard:  I inform you as soon as I solved this problem
14:03 * jcamins      is very caffeinated.
14:07 oleonard       Hi jcamins, nengard, everyone
14:08 nengard        :)
14:11 jcamins        Good morning, oleonard.
14:11 paul_p         good morning oleonard & jcamins
14:12 * paul_p       working on bug 7376

14:12 paul_p         very hard to setup a working sandbox ! (harder than fixing the bug I fear :( )
14:12 jcamins        paul_p: once you have a working sandbox, take a snapshot of your data so that it can be used for testing that sort of thing in the future.
14:13 paul_p         jcamins, sandbox is a wrong word here. I mean defining parameters
14:13 jcamins        Ah.
14:13 paul_p         3 sysprefs, branch_transfer_limits, barcodes, 2 branches, switching branches when issuing/returning,...
14:15 jcamins        I agree. Fixing it is going to be much easier than figuring out the configuration.
14:23 magnus_afk     lol
14:30 paul_p         grrr... it took more than 1 hour to understand that my tests could not work because I had "IndependantBranches ON"...
14:30 jcamins        paul_p: ugh. I hate that.
14:30 * cait         sends paul_p cookies
14:30 cait           I am still stuck on my holds testing
14:30 cait           it will not recognize the hold on check-in
14:31 * cait         feels with paul_p
14:31 oleonard       What are you testing cait?
14:32 cait           I was preparing to start testing on allowonshelfholds in circ matrix
14:33 * oleonard     is having a problem in our production system with some holds not prompting on check-in
14:34 cait           oh
14:34 cait           what version are you running?
14:34 cait           the only thing I am suspecting right now is that it doesn't work bcaue the hold was done in staff overriding some limit
14:34 cait           but it's the only item on the record
14:34 cait           and it will and will not prompt
14:36 oleonard       3.06.01.000. We haven't been able to figure out why most prompt just fine but a few don't.
14:39 cait           hm
14:39 cait           perhaps i managed to create one of those on master?
14:39 cait           there were warnings in the logs
14:39 cait           but I didn't figure out what was going wrong
14:39 cait           will have to look at it again
14:40 cait           perhaps with someone helping me to debug
14:43 patric         Good morning

14:47 lducos         nengard : it's your email address : nengard@bywatersolutions.com   ?
14:47 cait           oh
14:48 patric         With the log of this place being posted on the web, isn't posting email addresses kinda bad?
14:51 oleonard       Depends on your attitude about such things I suppose. But yeah, most people post addresses in private messages.
14:51 oleonard       http://stats.workbuffer.org/irclog/koha/2011-12-29#i_854188
14:55 nengard        yes that's y email
14:55 nengard        that's my email
14:56 nengard        and I don't mind that you posted it - it's all over the web
14:56 patric         got it.
14:56 * oleonard     would rather trust Gmail's spam filter than make it hard for people to email me
14:57 patric         here's to google's spam filter, they didn't buy postini for nothing
14:58 lducos         nengard: ok i send you'r password by mail
14:58 nengard        sure, i'm assuming once i'm logged in i can change it?

16:44 * wizzyrea     waves
16:45 oleonard       Hi wizzyrea
16:45 wizzyrea       hiyas
16:49 edveal         But what I am looking for is to build a form that allows the patron to choose the item type or location from a dropdown similar to what is found here http://cpl-me.dyndns-remote.com:8000/cgi-bin/koha/opac-main.pl.
16:50 wizzyrea       a view source on that is pretty instructive
16:53 edveal         Yes, I have tried and when I dump it into a page it always call the advance search page. Could that be do to no new acquisitions in my test site?
16:53 wizzyrea       hmm, or nothing in those item types
16:53 wizzyrea       or a malformed search
16:53 wizzyrea       ^^ is more likely
16:54 cait           oh old koha
16:54 edveal         Yes... It if from an older version.
16:54 wizzyrea       so you probably just need to reform the url to reflect the newer search syntax
16:55 cait           hlt has new acquisitions as search on the front page: http://library.org.nz/
16:55 wizzyrea       nekls used to - now we use a button instead.
16:55 wizzyrea       turned out that all people ever wanted was new books and new movies
16:55 wizzyrea       the rest they never clicked on
16:55 cait           makes sense
16:56 edveal         That helped Thanks....
16:56 francharb      bye all

17:58 huginn         New commit(s) needsignoff: [Bug 3651] Require patron login to send shelves and baskets <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3651>
17:58 oleonard       The nice thing about doing a search sorted by acquisition date rather than with a fixed date range is you always get results
17:58 oleonard       If you say "in the last 30 days" and there's no results you have to go back and expand the date range.
17:59 wizzyrea       well
18:00 wizzyrea       and there's always the argument that acquisitiondate < copyright date
18:01 wizzyrea       the argument of "new to you" vs "actually new"
18:01 wizzyrea       so - what is your definition of "new"
18:03 oleonard       ...and copyright date is a year, period, whereas an acquisition date is a real date.
18:03 wizzyrea       yep
18:04 wizzyrea       and I don't think you can sort by copyright date
18:04 wizzyrea       so you have to do a date limiter.
18:05 oleonard       You can sort by "Publication/Copyright Date"
18:06 wizzyrea       i stand corrected
18:06 oleonard       But for me it doesn't work. Whatever it's sorting on doesn't seem to be a consistent piece of data in our records
18:07 wizzyrea       hm I think I had that issue too
18:10 oleonard       http://search.myacpl.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?idx=kw&q=blue&sort_by=pubdate_dsc
18:11 oleonard       That's supposed to be "newest to oldest," but the first item says 2008
18:11 oleonard       I jquery out the pubdate option in our opac
18:12 rangi          its from the 003 or 008 or some control field, that it is using, not 260
18:12 rangi          so invalid marc records ie 99.999999% of them in the wild
18:12 rangi          arent sortable
18:13 wizzyrea       ohh
18:13 oleonard       Yeah, we got invalid marc records out the wahzoo.
18:14 bag            yup it's from the 008 usually
18:14 bag            like postions 7through 10
18:30 * cait         is glad union catalog required a four digit pub year in one field
18:31 cait           so they have to fill it in and data is nice

18:34 cait           is very happy that this feature was added back
18:34 rangi          hopefully others will see how to do it and make more
18:36 rangi          I think oleonard will come up with some cool ones
18:36 cait           heh
18:36 oleonard       Maybe ideas for some cool ones...
18:37 cait           I was thinking to try one for currency display
18:37 oleonard       But I'm glad you reminded me to take a look at that one to see how you did it
18:37 rangi          I might add a caching plugin today so u can cache includes in memcache
18:37 cait           :)
18:37 cait           yay!
18:37 rangi          oleonard: its easy really
18:37 wizzyrea       ohh
18:37 rangi          at least if that gets pushed it will be
18:38 rangi          it does all the groundwork
18:38 cait           the last patch has to be signed-off... :)
18:38 rangi          when I get to work
18:38 rangi          if no one beats me :)
18:39 * cait         can't this time
18:51 * jcamins_away is looking forward to the XSLT plugin, too.
18:51 rangi          :)
18:53 rangi          my stop bbiab
18:54 magnuse        did anyone look closer at the option to cache compiled templates?
18:54 cait           ok, dinner time
18:54 cait           will be back later :)
18:56 * jcamins_away hopes rangi is grabbing some breakfast on the way into the office. That would be amusing.
18:57 oleonard       ?
18:58 jcamins_away   oleonard: cait is having dinner, ago43 is having lunch, all we need is for someone to be having dinner and every meal is being eaten simultaneously in #koha. :)
18:58 oleonard       When is tea time?
18:59 cait           breakfast ;)
18:59 jcamins        oleonard: slef is currently signed in, so it's teatime for someone on #koha. :)
19:00 magnuse        wizzyrea: zero is not unusual - normal winter weather here is fluctuations between something like +5 and -5 once or twice a week all through winter
19:00 rangi          back

19:03 magnuse        rangi: yeah, interesting! but i can't help thinking it will be much more robust if we have some linked data to build it on ;-)
19:03 rangi          heh :)

19:05 jcamins        ;)
19:06 magnuse        hehe
19:06 wizzyrea       nope :0
19:06 wizzyrea       oh they have vanilla ice up n go
19:06 jcamins        Did you tape the ball dropping last year so that you can play it for him at 7, and get him to bed at a reasonable hour?
19:06 jcamins        :)
19:06 wizzyrea       lol mo
19:07 wizzyrea       no
19:07 * magnuse      hopes there will be some time to play with http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Linked_Data_RFC in 2012...
19:07 jcamins        I guess Jonathan was about six when suddenly the ball dropping was something he *had* to see.
19:08 * wizzyrea     soesnt have network tv
19:08 magnuse        the ball dropping?
19:08 wizzyrea       1h typing sry
19:08 wizzyrea       in nyc
19:09 jcamins        wizzyrea: Youtube video from last year? :)
19:10 wizzyrea       hehe that's a good idea
19:10 wizzyrea       2h typing again yay
19:11 * jcamins      never got the point of the whole thing, actually. I've worked December 31 and/or January 1 since coming back to the States.
19:19 rhcl_away      jcamins: where from did you come back to the states?
19:20 jcamins        rhcl_away: Afghanistan/Russia/Edinburgh/Oxford.
19:20 jcamins        (Oxford is the last place I lived before moving to NYC permanently, and Russia is where I was NYE 2008)
19:21 rangi          jcamins: for you http://soundcloud.com/figure/figure-the-ball-drop
19:21 jcamins        rangi: thanks. :)
19:22 rhcl_away      ah, yes, I see a pattern there
19:23 rhcl           I would think Afghanistan would offer some remarkably spectacular ball drops
19:23 jcamins        rhcl: I left Afghanistan Christmas Eve.
19:24 jcamins        rhcl: though, honestly, I'm not sure there weren't more explosions in Moscow for NYE.
19:25 jcamins        Boy do they like their firecrackers in Moscow.
19:25 rhcl           Sometime I'll share my travel stories from Korea, the PI, Cambodia, VN and Thailand
19:26 rhcl           you and I obviously circulate in different circles
19:26 rangi          i spent news year eve 1997 halfway up nz's tallest mountain, thats still my best one
19:27 rangi          this year, ill be asleep by about 11
19:27 rhcl           yea, that sounds good to me too!
19:28 ibeardslee     it's just an excuse to have a couple of days off work really
19:28 rangi          yeah, nice 4 day weekend
19:29 ibeardslee     on the plus side, this year there should be no issues with people going camping and wanting a shower
19:29 jcamins        ibeardslee: huh?
19:30 ibeardslee     it pissing down here

20:31 cait           rangi++
20:31 rangi          so if there are slow things
20:31 rangi          like creating the language lists
20:32 rangi          we can make that an include, and cache the rendered html
20:32 rangi          etc
20:32 cait           very nice
20:32 cait           the language list is a great idea too
20:33 * rangi        is just laying groundwork, someone else can find the slow bits and set them to be cached
20:33 * magnuse      needs to figure out memcached for the server that will be running the packages... ;-)
20:33 rangi          the nice thing is, this just works .. if you dont have memcached, you dont notice, if you do, you dont either cept its a bit faster

20:48 rangi          that rule always annoys me, its the exception to the apostrophe rule to indicate possession
20:49 rangi          and that should have been it's :)
20:49 rangi          see, annoying!
20:50 * rangi        was just translating it to
20:50 rangi          This item must be returned to its home library.
20:50 cait           so its is right, right?
20:50 cait           or
20:51 cait           it's?
20:51 * cait         is confused now
20:51 rangi          its is right in that context
20:52 rangi          but when i said its the exception, that should be it's the exception
20:56 liw            it's its, or is it? it's possive is itchy, it's icky, it is. that's that, and a hat's hat is a fedora

21:06 rangi          hehe
21:07 rangi          had fish and chips last night actually
21:08 ibeardslee     I wonder where the closest place that does hot chips to work is
21:08 ibeardslee     ... that is open at this time of the year
21:08 rangi          hmmm
21:09 rangi          the one by the bakery on webb street might be
21:09 ibeardslee     hell pizza as well .. although they'll work out pricey
21:09 rangi          its owned by a malaysian/chinese family, they are pretty much always open
21:29 NateC          Kebabs?
21:30 NateC          mmmmm Abra Kababra.... rangi, think you can DHL some of those my way?
21:30 rangi          heh
21:30 wizzyrea       kebabs?
21:30 wahanui        are so awesomely delicious they will make grown men weep.
21:30 rangi          whens the hobbit premiere?
21:30 wizzyrea       that's better.
21:31 wizzyrea       lol getting that one a lot?
21:31 NateC          Hobbit Premier and Kebabs in NZ? The misses and I am so there!
21:32 NateC          Customs will ask why im traveling to NZ and I will respond:
21:32 NateC          Kebabs
21:32 NateC          Hobbits
21:32 rangi          hehe
21:32 NateC          I like space
21:32 trea           lol
21:32 NateC          Think they'll let me in??
21:33 rangi          and bag can stand in the background and say 'plah, palah, palah'
21:33 rangi          that will help
21:33 wizzyrea       The hobbit?
21:33 wahanui        the hobbit: an unexpected journey will be released 14 December 2012
21:33 NateC          but the premier will be before then no?
21:33 wizzyrea       most surely
21:34 rangi          speaking of bag, i wonder if that grill is set up now
21:34 NateC          I would give my left... hand for tickets to that
21:34 wizzyrea       gonna say you might need the other thing.
21:35 NateC          actually lets make it my big toe instead
21:36 wizzyrea       well, you might need both of your hands... for... stuff.
21:36 wizzyrea       i hear it's hard to walk with only 4 toes
21:36 rangi          they did it december 1
21:36 wizzyrea       but doable, that might be your best bet
21:36 rangi          for the lotr ones
21:36 NateC          Right so its still a good tradeoff
21:36 NateC          rangi; that early?
