23:55 bg hey papa
23:03 bag I'm a one knee surfer
23:02 bag me either
22:59 rangi but i never was any good
22:58 rangi 91 :)
22:58 bag s/word/surfboard
22:58 * bag expects that he'll say "yeah, havent touched word since hmm 1996"
22:58 rangi 91
22:58 rangi heh, its been a long long time
22:57 * bag wants to see rangi on a surf board…
22:55 YoungPublicLibrarian Hm...well, my library still uses MS Word...
22:54 Space_Librarian lol
22:52 ibeardslee lucky you
22:50 rangi yeah, havent touched word since hmm 1996
22:47 Space_Librarian most of these guys use libreoffice or open office though...
22:47 Space_Librarian goodness. That was a long time ago.
22:45 YoungPublicLibrarian Okay...is anyone familiar with the mail merge feature of MS Word? I'm trying to use it in conjunction with the csv files downloaded from the report I just created...
22:44 Space_Librarian unless you ask, you won't learn
22:44 YoungPublicLibrarian lol, just curious, since my questions seem to be a bit in-depth...
22:39 Space_Librarian there's a quota?
22:38 YoungPublicLibrarian I have another question if I haven't used up my daily quota :/
22:38 cait rangi++ :)
22:35 rangi or something :)
22:35 rangi 2 counters, just for dr
22:35 Space_Librarian awesome
22:35 wahanui rangi has karma of 301
22:35 rangi karma for rangi
22:34 huginn` rangi: Highest karma: "rangi" (543), "oleonard" (473), and "wizzyrea" (320). Lowest karma: "<!" (-109), "failed" (-73), and "-" (-44). You (rangi) are ranked 1 out of 2010.
22:34 rangi @karma
22:34 rangi heh
22:34 liw (how big are karma counters? I hope that didn't overflow)
22:33 liw rangi << 32
22:33 rangi cool
22:31 YoungPublicLibrarian Okay, that worked! Thank you so much rangi!
22:26 YoungPublicLibrarian lol, okay rangi, the second one is a bit confusing...but the first one I'll try to get to work...
22:26 * rangi hopes he is helping not confusing
22:25 rangi (TO_DAYS(curdate())-TO_DAYS( date_due) IN (<<Days overdue>>,<<Days overdue2>>)
22:25 rangi you could do it with an IN too
22:24 rangi (ull want 2 variable so you can choose to different dates)
22:24 rangi ((TO_DAYS(curdate())-TO_DAYS( date_due)) = <<Days overdue>> OR (TO_DAYS(curdate())-TO_DAYS( date_due)) = <<Days overdue2>>)
22:24 Space_Librarian rangi++
22:23 rangi it needs to be
22:23 rangi yeah it wont
22:22 * rangi has had coffee, an easter egg and a blueberry muffin brought to his desk today .. not a bad day back at work after a 4 day weekend
22:21 YoungPublicLibrarian Okay, this: WHERE issues.branchcode = <<Branch Code>> AND (TO_DAYS(curdate())-TO_DAYS( date_due)) = (<<Days overdue>> OR = <<Days overdue>>) didn't work...I did it wrong didn't I?
22:20 rangi WHERE (something = soething OR something=somethingelse) AND someotherthing = cheese
22:20 rangi brackets evaluate first
22:20 YoungPublicLibrarian ah, okay. Thanks! You guys are awesome!
22:19 rangi its just like math
22:19 rangi you might want to wrap it in ( )
22:19 rangi it can't be both at once :)
22:19 rangi AND should be OR
22:19 rangi sorry
22:19 rangi yep, the above is the exact one
22:18 YoungPublicLibrarian a range would give me everything in between though wouldn't it? I want just overdues for 7 days and overdues for 21 days...
22:18 rangi WHERE something = something AND something = somethingelse
22:18 Space_Librarian if you find a date range command in one of the other reports, copy that across.
22:17 YoungPublicLibrarian alright! Thanks! Now, is there a way to say two specific number (ex. '7' and '21' days)? or is that asking too much :)?
22:06 Space_Librarian yep
21:55 YoungPublicLibrarian Okay, so in the Overdues /w Contact Info, http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SQL_Reports_Library#Overdues_w.2F_Contact_Info, I would change the '>=' in the WHERE statement to '=' correct?
21:52 Space_Librarian YoungPublicLibrarian any of them...
21:52 YoungPublicLibrarian ethian, in which report? The Overdues Materials report that was linked or the Overdues w/ Contact Info that I was talking about?
21:51 YoungPublicLibrarian Ah okay! I've only had one class in SQL and that was a while ago...Thanks!
21:51 Space_Librarian what eythian said, actually.
21:51 Space_Librarian YoungPublicLibrarian it was pretty straight forward to get a specific overdue days
21:50 eythian in fact, change the '>' to '=' will probably do it.
21:50 Space_Librarian heh
21:50 wizzyrea sorry sorry
21:50 Space_Librarian wizzyrea: see the link above, hon. :p
21:49 Space_Librarian It is.
21:49 eythian it would be pretty easy to adapt I expect
21:49 wahanui i guess reports library is found at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SQL_Reports_Library
21:49 wizzyrea reports library?
21:49 * Space_Librarian checks her report library
21:47 YoungPublicLibrarian yep, but all it has is one report that allows you to input a number of days. But when you do it gives you anything over that specified number of days. It is the Overdues w/ Contact Info report. I need a report that allows you to input a number and have it give you overdues for that specific number of days and nothing else.
21:43 Space_Librarian specifically http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SQL_Reports_Library#Overdue_materials
21:41 Space_Librarian http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SQL_Reports_Library
21:40 Space_Librarian have you looked at the reports library?
21:39 YoungPublicLibrarian okay, anyone good at making reports? I'm trying to get the report to give me only overdues that are 7 days overdue. Nothing under or over...
21:28 eythian at least, that's what I assume was happening
21:27 cait ah :)
21:27 cait made me feel less lonely... but perhaps you still want to check
21:27 eythian I have, I had a VPN connection that was going spazzy and breaking my connection a lot.
21:27 cait you filled the logs appearing and disappearing over the weekend :)
21:26 cait you should fix your chat thing
21:26 cait hi eythian
21:26 wahanui niihau, eythian
21:26 eythian hi
21:24 cait hi again YoungPublicLibrarian
21:22 YoungPublicLibrarian Hello again everyone!
21:06 wizzyrea oh bz. we can never be mad at you
21:06 rangi bz is the winner so far
21:06 wizzyrea *nod*
21:06 rangi only started last night
21:06 rangi the bit i like is seeing the commands i use a lot
21:06 rangi yup
21:00 wizzyrea that is silly fun.
20:59 * wizzyrea would add that to the aliases :P
20:59 wizzyrea ohhh
20:59 Space_Librarian nice! :)
20:58 rangi i didnt do it global, and changed the code to only look for local, then i manually do git achievements -p to push it
20:58 rangi git config --global achievement.upload "true"
20:58 rangi but this bit
20:58 rangi https://github.com/icefox/git-achievements you can make your own pretty easily
20:57 cait lol
20:57 cjh awesome
20:57 rangi http://ranginui.github.com/git-achievements/
20:54 * Space_Librarian puts up hand
20:54 wizzyrea oh me me pick me
20:54 rangi ok who wants to see something pointless and kinda silly?
20:53 sekjal cheers, #koha!
20:53 sekjal time for me to pack up, as well... got to get across the river for Game Night (and route 9 is a bear this time of day)
20:52 * jcamins_away heads out for a reception at which TAOCP will probably not come up.
20:52 Space_Librarian jcamins_away - Tomes is the right word
20:51 cait for me at least :)
20:50 cait tryin to work on that... but ew. not easy.
20:50 cait and I would like to see some clean up of the logs
20:50 cait I fully agree with these goals
20:50 * jcamins_away got half-way through number two.
20:50 sekjal cait: thanks for keeping on top of it. my goal is for us to get all the blockers and criticals taken care of before release time, and as many majors as possible, too
20:49 jcamins_away Knuth's magisterial tomes of wisdom.
20:49 jcamins_away The Art of Computer Programming.
20:49 cait to = 2
20:49 cait sekjal: I found to other evil bugs I marked blocker - not patches yet
20:47 sekjal gmcharlt: ah. I don't have my copy with me in the office, since I'm not officially doing Perl anymore
20:46 gmcharlt sekjal: re citation, I'm pretty sure it's in PBP
20:46 sekjal thanks, rangi
20:46 sekjal TAOCP?
20:46 rangi ill sign off today, if no one beats me to it
20:46 jcamins_away sekjal: TAOCP.
20:46 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7834 critical, P5 - low, ---, katrin.fischer, Needs Signoff , order search at the top of acq does nothing
20:46 sekjal request for signoff: bug 7834. needs to get fixed before 3.8
20:41 sekjal gmcharlt: I had thought I'd remembered something like that from my CS classes, but I couldn't find a good citation online to back me up
20:40 rangi its really lazy
20:40 rangi exacterly
20:39 gmcharlt sekjal: correct - and arguably, exit() should never be used to get out of routines regardless
20:37 sekjal my readings on mod_perl suggest that exit() shouldn't be used (for mod_perl, anyway)
20:37 rangi CGI->new();
20:37 rangi yeah
20:37 sekjal as well as my $query = new CGI;
20:36 sekjal okay, didn't think so. the /svc directory is rife with this
20:36 rangi no
20:34 sekjal one doesn't need an "exit 0" statement in Perl if all the subsequent lines are declared subroutines, right?
20:33 cait oh
20:32 cait ah... I am always too slow for him
20:30 wizzyrea la--- oh bother.
20:30 rangi cya oleonard
20:30 oleonard More later. Bye #koha
20:28 cait oleonard++

19:55 sha any configuration tutorial??
19:55 nengard so now i'm copying it to the help files
19:55 nengard I think I finished updating the manual today ? i think

19:54 nengard bug 7936 has the updated help files for 3.8 - I'll probably finish them up tomorrow or Weds
19:54 wizzyrea hi sha
19:51 sha hi all
19:47 chris_n I just needed to know what direction to go with on a local enh I'm porting forward
19:46 rangi What he said
19:46 rangi Thats the plan I think but not for 3.6.x and not totally for 3.8 yet
19:46 chris_n great
19:46 sekjal chris_n: we're moving towards that, yes: DateTime and Koha::Calendar should be able to fully replaced C4::Dates
19:45 cait morning :)
19:45 chris_n rangi do you know if we're using DateTime and deprecating C4::Dates now?
19:44 chris_n heya rangi
19:44 rangi Morning
19:43 huginn` 04Bug 5549: enhancement, P1 - high, ---, chris, Signed Off , Hourly Loans
19:43 cait perhaps this: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5549#c5
19:43 cait ah, and the bug isnot helpful
19:42 chris_n just for querying
19:42 chris_n this is not for display
19:42 chris_n no
19:42 cait if you have an enhancement to dates that is displaying a date somewhere in the templates - you want to use that :)
19:42 cait talkign about dates - have you seen the plugin for dates?
19:41 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7409 normal, P5 - low, ---, robin, Pushed to Master , Missing dependencies for Debian package
19:41 cait bug 7409
19:41 chris_n I have an old enhancement I have to port to 3.8 which needs to be able to pass dates formated in ansi sql
19:41 cait but I can find the bug for you
19:41 cait they talked about it being cool - but no idea :)
19:40 chris_n it has many format options
19:40 chris_n DateTime would be cool
19:40 cait chris_n: thereis a patch pending I think for new dependencies
19:40 cait chris_n: and I think a new deependance was introduced to - but I would start looking in the Koha namespace
19:40 * chris_n looks to see if its in the dep list yet
19:39 chris_n DateTime... maybe
19:39 cait chris_n: there is a DateUtils and another related to dates somehow
19:39 cait chris_n: I thinkthe new modules in Koha:
19:34 * chris_n wonders if it handles dates in ansi-sql format
19:33 chris_n any idea what's being used in its place?
19:32 cait I think sekjal and libsysguy were discussing this here a few days ago
19:31 chris_n are we trying to deprecate C4::Dates?
19:25 cait nengard++ :)
19:19 nengard got it working
19:15 cait hah! found it - was missing a :
19:13 cait YoungPublicLibrarian: that's ok - was hoping someone had an idea what's going wrong here :)
19:13 YoungPublicLibrarian Sorry cait, I'm absolutely positive you know more than me, so I can't answer you...
19:13 nengard so i open up virtual box, start up koha (debian) and then go to firefox on the mac and type that in
19:13 nengard no that's from the browers on my computer so i can view the vm
19:13 oleonard nengard: Is that from the browser in your VM?
19:12 nengard so yes, i think i have the ports set up
19:12 nengard it's kohavm for the opac and http://kohavm:8080/ for the staff
19:12 nengard sorry i was wrong
19:12 wahanui somebody said oleonard was still here, if you just wish hard enough. or Koha's master UI designer
19:12 nengard oleonard
19:11 nengard not hand
19:11 nengard handy
19:11 nengard just want my hand drag and drop interface :)
19:11 nengard and i can use the scp command already
19:10 nengard to get to it in the browser i type http://kohavm for opac and http://kohavm:80 for staff
19:10 oleonard nengard: localhost:80 (OPAC) and localhost:8080 (staff client) ?
19:10 nengard um ? hehe
19:10 oleonard nengard: Do you have Koha set up on different ports in your VM? (:80 and :8080 ?)
19:10 wizzyrea or scp
19:09 wizzyrea yea, once you have ssh you can sftp
19:09 oleonard http://shoaibmir.wordpress.com/2009/09/13/configuring-ssh-access-for-virtualbox-guest-host/
19:08 nengard i need to update the help files for Koha 3.8 and it's too much to do this all on the vm
19:08 nengard and i guess make sure that my user has the right permissions
19:08 nengard IP, port, etc etc
19:08 nengard can anyone tell me how to use a desktop ftp client with my koha vm? I just need to know how to find the info needed to connect to my koha vm via sftp
19:08 YoungPublicLibrarian Ah! I didn't even see the "</item>" otherwise I could have figured out what it was for! lol Thanks!
19:08 cait I added a new pref to the opac.pref file... but it's refusing to show up in system preferences editor?
19:07 cait I have a problem
19:07 cait ok
19:06 oleonard Since that shows up for everyone you wouldn't want to use it on anything others use
19:05 oleonard I use that
19:05 pastebot "oleonard" at 66.213.78.34 pasted "Put a sytem preferences search into the top menu bar (dev systems only)" (3 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/335
19:04 cait oleonard: yeah - wishful thinking :)
19:04 cait << >> are placeholders for data that will be put in when the letter is generated
19:04 oleonard cait: You are imagining a system preference search
19:04 cait so it will output all fields between those markers that you mention in between
19:03 cait aremarkers to output a list of items
19:03 cait <item> </item> (must be one line - be careful!)
19:03 cait oleonard: I think it perhaps was only a link always and I have a link
19:02 YoungPublicLibrarian <item>"<<biblio.title>>" by <<biblio.author>>, <<items.itemcallnumber>>, Barcode: <<items.barcode>> Fine: <fine>GBP</fine></item> in this line here, does anyone know what the difference is in <item> and "<<biblio.title>>"?
19:02 cait oleonard: but I kinda miss the system preference search? or did I imagine it was there before? :(
19:02 cait oleonard: pending suggestions show up for me
19:01 YoungPublicLibrarian mail merge. Got it, thanks jwagner!
18:56 jwagner YoungPublicLibrarian, search on mail merge
18:55 YoungPublicLibrarian Hmm...google isn't coming up with much about making a MS Word letter from MS Excel. But I'll keep looking! lol
18:54 cait :)
18:54 YoungPublicLibrarian Okay, thanks! You've been a huge help!
18:53 cait also look at the manual about overdue letters - there are a lot of differnet options for setting them up
18:53 cait np :)
18:52 YoungPublicLibrarian Okay I will look there! Thanks!
18:52 cait but you can define different letters
18:52 cait normally ODUE
18:52 cait you define yourself how it looks like - it's one of the templates from tools > notices
18:51 cait YoungPublicLibrarian: I only now the german word - not sure how the feature is called in English correctly - so perhaps be careful when searching for serial letters :)
18:51 YoungPublicLibrarian Also, you said that KoHa sends a letter via email to patrons with overdues. Is there a way we can see what that letter looks like?
18:50 YoungPublicLibrarian Oh! That would be nice. I will look into that! Thanks!
18:50 cait there are also other programs you could use I think
18:50 cait where you can create letters from a spreadsheet of data
18:50 cait I was thinking of a feature word and perhaps writer (libreoficce openoffice too) have
18:49 YoungPublicLibrarian Hmm...okay. So if we run the report and get all the overdues in an excel sheet, how would I then get it formatted? Would I have to go through each overdue and create a page manually? Or is there a way in KoHa to do it? You mentioned Serial Letters, but I don't know what that is...sorry. Not trying to be difficult...
18:46 cait What Koha can do is create somehting like a search form (runtime parameters) to influence the conditions for a report
18:46 cait normally you would get the data and use something else for formatting, like using a... serial letter? (not sure that's the right word) to create the mails from a spreadcheet
18:46 YoungPublicLibrarian right, but you can format your reports can't you? I mean in my beginners SQL class they talked about creating reports with buttons and fields and things...
18:45 cait sql is to retrieve data - not for formatting
18:45 cait i think you can't really do that with sql
18:44 YoungPublicLibrarian Well, I've been able to recreate the overdues report. But I don't know enough about SQL to format it so that the information of one patron fits on one single page....
18:32 cait peraps wizzyrea had nothing waiting?
18:32 cait hm
18:28 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7928 normal, P5 - low, ---, oleonard, ASSIGNED , suggestion, tags numbers missing from mainpage
18:28 oleonard Hmmm... Actually Bug 7928 works for me
18:15 YoungPublicLibrarian Hmm...the current overdues report from the circulation page prints out an excel list for everyone that has overdues. But we want them all to be single page entities... Is this possible at all? We'd like to do that with all of our patrons, not just the ones that don't have emails...

18:10 cait the overdues job mails you a file with letters for borrowers without email address by default
18:10 jcamins I guess maybe you could do an incredibly complicated thing with CONCAT, but I wouldn't recommend it.
18:10 cait and what jcamins said
18:09 cait page
18:09 cait adn you can downlowd a csv with overdues from one of the reports on the circulation patge
18:09 jcamins YoungPublicLibrarian: I think the overdues job handles that.
18:09 cait YoungPublicLibrarian: I am not sure you can do a paged report like this with the custom reports
18:08 cait no problem :)
18:08 YoungPublicLibrarian Hello cait! Sorry missed your 'hi'!
18:07 edveal Ok, good idea.
18:06 oleonard edveal: Looks like you'll have to look for the link text
18:06 YoungPublicLibrarian The report is for Overdues that we want to mail out from the library, not use peoples' emails. It needs to show the patrons' information and just the items that are overdue all on a single page. Each page needs to have one patron only. Can anyone help me with this?
18:04 edveal I am trying to hide the "Delete All Items" button for a library and can't quite get it. Anyone out there have any hints?
18:02 YoungPublicLibrarian Hello everyone. I need help creating a customized report.

17:43 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7928 normal, P5 - low, ---, paul.poulain, NEW , suggestion, tags numbers missing from mainpage
17:43 * oleonard was worried that Bug 7928 was going to happen if we redesigned the home page, didn't realize it would happen because of Bug 7781
17:34 cait that I saw when reading through your changes
17:34 cait like call number, card number, URL
17:34 cait I also did some normalizations
17:34 cait at least for the forms
17:34 cait I thought perhaps we can finish i toff
17:33 oleonard Of course it's okay
17:33 cait hopefully I made not too many mistakes
17:33 oleonard cait++ # for Easter holiday work
17:33 cait I hope it's ok - I tried continuing your work
17:33 oleonard Hi cait
17:33 cait hi oleonard :)
17:33 cait I wish eythian would stop doing that
17:19 sekjal and a good step towards metadata schema independence
17:19 jcamins Yes, removing MARC definitions from frameworks would be a huge step towards our MARC support not being painful.
17:18 sekjal marc defs could be file-based; they don't really change all that much
17:18 sekjal hopefully structured in a way that would be as quick to load as possible
17:17 jcamins That would be great.
17:17 sekjal MARC definitions need to be separated from frameworks
17:16 jcamins So the bug isn't that 090 doesn't appear on the expanded MARC view. It's that the "hidden" attribute hasn't been taken out back and shot.
17:15 jcamins But it doesn't.
17:15 jcamins I agree it should.
17:15 nengard it's confusing to the librarian
17:15 nengard my argument there is that it should control everything then
17:14 jcamins Remember the "hidden" attribute only controls expanded MARC view and cataloging.
17:14 jcamins nengard: did you check your frameworks re: 7933?
17:12 nengard i see
17:12 nengard oh
17:12 cait only check all / uncheck all would not work without selecting a vendor
17:12 cait and the checkboxes work
17:12 cait it works once you select a vendor
17:11 nengard then the checkbox shouldn't be there at all - will go read the bug
17:11 cait it's because you can only do 1 vendor at a time
17:11 cait I explainedon the bug
17:11 nengard that too seems silly
17:11 nengard cait why would i not be allowed to check all the boxes on that page without a filter?
17:10 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5347 blocker, P2, ---, jonathan.druart, ASSIGNED , late order management
17:10 cait bug 5347
17:10 cait nengard: I have an open bug for mails not working and a perl error message on that page
17:06 cait that's also by design :)
17:06 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7930 minor, P5 - low, ---, oleonard, NEW , late order report not showing 'check all'
17:06 cait I am writing a comment on bug 7930
17:06 sekjal I know libraries that want to keep all orders for particular serial to be in the same basket, year after year
17:05 nengard updated the report summary in the manual for now
17:05 cait but once you are placing the order, you sould close the basket
17:05 cait like when you want to reach a minimum order amount
17:05 cait you might keep orders open to gather titles you want to order
17:05 cait but I think it makes sense to make it a little more strict here
17:05 cait I think koha was less strict on tha tin the past
17:04 sekjal that's how I typically use it
17:04 cait it's the only indicator we have for that
17:04 cait witht he vendor
17:04 cait the order has been placed
17:04 cait i think closing a basket means
17:04 sekjal from a workflow point of view
17:04 sekjal sounds like the problem is around open/closed baskets. I think we need a more concrete idea of what that actually means
17:04 cait the pull down list gets too long
17:04 cait I have a library with over 600 vendors
17:04 cait I think it's better this way
17:03 nengard for now i'll update the manual
17:03 nengard just what i think will happen
17:03 nengard okay if i close a basket it shows - but i can tell you that this is going to be a support question I get 100 times - libraries would rather see all their vendors and get a message saying no late orders for this vendor than having koha try to be smart for them
17:02 cait I think so - that's what i remember
17:02 nengard then i need to document that it only works for closed baskets?
17:02 cait can you check by closing one o fthose orders?
17:02 cait that's why then probably
17:02 nengard nope
17:02 nengard and it's not showing them
17:02 cait are your orders closed?
17:02 nengard cause i have other vendors with orders places last year
17:01 cait it depends
17:01 nengard that's not true though
17:01 cait nengard: I think the late orders is clever - itshows only the branches with late orders

16:50 cait jwagner: what for?
16:50 cait thx :)
16:50 nengard will try :)

16:02 jcamins Bug 7838
16:01 Morthland2 How can I test the overdue notice?
15:27 sekjal so the rest of the code would just need to be wrapped in an 'else' statement
15:26 sekjal I think a lot of them run in various conditionals
15:21 sekjal but mod_perl doesn't like exit at all, 0 or 1
15:20 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7829 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, dpavlin, Pushed to Master , reports/ remove all exit(1) for plack
15:20 sekjal bug 7829 is a start
15:16 jcamins sekjal: didn't someone file a bug about that?
15:15 sekjal at least that's what my reading is telling me
15:14 sekjal plack is okay with them, so long as they're exit(0), but mod_perl doesn't like them at all
15:13 sekjal apparently, those don't work so well for mod_perl
15:13 sekjal hmmm, we have a lot of exit statements in our code.
15:13 cait and I thought we agreed on keeping it for administrators
15:13 cait hm if that is gone it's annoying
15:12 * jcamins is one of those users. ;)
15:11 jcamins wizzyrea: yes, only for users with permission to modify sysprefs.
15:11 cait and I did a lot of capitalization patches
15:10 cait oh
15:10 wizzyrea no - but only for superlibrarians
15:10 jcamins There should be.
15:10 jcamins *tab
15:10 jcamins Also, is there a syspref search box on the main page?
15:10 cait basically all hackfest in marseille
15:10 cait to me too - but I needed some time
15:10 jcamins The removed features, not so much.
15:10 jcamins wizzyrea: I think the search boxes make sense to me.
15:09 * wizzyrea will look
15:09 * wizzyrea is trying to decide if I don't like it because it's different or if I don't like it because it doesn't make sense.
15:09 cait hehe :)
15:09 cait I have some other nice bug fixes waiting for sign-off... *hint*
15:06 wizzyrea :) no worries
15:06 cait but first I have to fix jared's bug
15:06 cait wizzyrea: we will get them back, don't worry
15:05 wizzyrea oh I see.
15:05 sekjal 7781 skipped the normal QA process
15:04 * wizzyrea would really be irritated if they went away.
15:04 wizzyrea do you know, since the introduction of those numbers, pending suggestions and tags for libraries have dropped dramatically?

15:03 wizzyrea bug 7928
15:00 wizzyrea yea
15:00 cait file a bug?
15:00 cait yep
15:00 wizzyrea and the numbers thing needs to be fixed.
15:00 cait but it's really the same amount of clicks... hope that helps to make them scream less?
15:00 cait hm... I agree its a bigger change
14:59 wizzyrea will have to be spoon fed to our librarians.
14:59 wizzyrea yea, it's a pretty big change though
14:58 cait it's the same number of clicks
14:58 * wizzyrea waits for the screaming
14:58 cait wizzyrea: the numbers are sure not intentional - but the search boxes are on top now
14:58 wizzyrea yea

14:56 wizzyrea what was the bug
14:56 jcamins I don't think they were intentional.
14:56 wizzyrea ! oh boy.
14:56 jcamins Not sure about the numbers.
14:56 jcamins The search boxes were moved intentionally.
14:55 * wizzyrea goes to look through commits
14:55 wizzyrea (there are no search boxes or numbers anymore?)

14:37 cait jcamins: hi :)
14:37 chris_n hi jcamins
14:37 * chris_n heads off to utilize his new knowledge
14:37 jcamins chris_n: I was, but I'm not anymore.
14:35 cait ah, but you only have normal, so not broken for you
14:35 cait isbd too
14:35 cait and it will work in all views :)
14:35 wizzyrea noice!
14:35 cait will be in 3.8
14:35 cait I recently did {ISSN} :)
14:35 wizzyrea it also enabled the facebook and twitter like+tweet thing
14:35 chris_n thanks for the help wizzyrea & cait
14:34 wizzyrea I'd have to go back and look.
14:34 wizzyrea could be.
14:34 wizzyrea hmm
14:34 cait {TITLE}
14:34 cait ah, I thnk that was nicole :)
14:34 wizzyrea or <<author>>
14:33 wizzyrea probably <<title>>
14:33 wizzyrea so you can do http://site.you.want.to.search/query=<title> or soemthing
14:32 wizzyrea yea, I think he added the bits and bobs that let you use certain tags in the more searches
14:32 chris_n all of those links are duds
14:32 cait wizzyrea: magnus stuff?
14:32 chris_n must of changed their structure?
14:32 cait now I got him :)
14:32 wahanui jane eyre can be found at http://www.imdb.com/M/title-substring?title=jane+eyre&type=fuzzy
14:32 cait wahanui: imdb jane eyre
14:32 chris_n opps
14:31 wizzyrea weird!
14:31 wizzyrea that is possible due to magnuse's stuff
14:31 cait aha!
14:31 wahanui is jane eyre? can be found at http://www.imdb.com/M/title-substring?title=is+jane+eyre?&type=fuzzy
14:31 cait wahanui: imdb is jane eyre?
14:31 cait I shoul stop torturing the bot
14:31 wizzyrea yea, that was a burst of inspiration I had one day when I realized that the query strings for IMDB were easy to pass queries to
14:31 wahanui cait: I forgot imd
14:31 cait forget imd
14:31 cait forgt imd
14:31 cait lol
14:31 wahanui OK, cait.
14:31 cait wahanui imd is a great idea
14:30 wahanui i don't know, cait
14:30 cait wahanui: imdb?
14:30 cait where did wahanui learn this?
14:30 cait hm
14:30 cait imdb jane eyre
14:30 cait oh
14:30 chris_n are you all doing your customization via css
14:29 wahanui is a great idea! can be found at http://www.imdb.com/M/title-substring?title=is+a+great+idea!&type=fuzzy
14:29 cait wizzyrea: imdb is a great idea!
14:29 cait oleonard's catalog has something nice too
14:28 wizzyrea ^^
14:28 cait chris_n: you can certainly make it more prominent using css
14:28 chris_n this discussion has been a big help
14:28 cait [off] no 36 https://hfjs.bsz-bw.de/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?idx=kw&q=de-576&offset=40
14:28 chris_n cait: nice
14:28 chris_n I'd love to break it out and display it separately
14:27 cait chris_n: it shows on the result list too
14:27 chris_n on the topic of formatting: our catalogers have entered most of the TOC data in our collection
14:26 cait it's repeated 856 with a u and an x or z (always confuse where the note goes)
14:26 chris_n this is great
14:26 cait yep
14:26 cait I think it once was bigger...perhaps something wrong in the css
14:26 cait I should make the font bigger sometime
14:25 wizzyrea if you don't like that list
14:25 wizzyrea and it could be styled with jquery + css prolly
14:25 wizzyrea with appropriate descriptions that would be just fine.
14:25 wizzyrea oh, yea, that's not a bad display
14:25 huginn` wizzyrea: The operation succeeded. Quote #199 added.
14:25 wizzyrea @quote add chris_n: considering marc is scary to us, I can't imagine what it does to patrons.
14:24 cait [off] https://hfjs.bsz-bw.de/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=56
14:24 wizzyrea ^^
14:24 chris_n considering marc is scarry to us, I can't imagine what it does to patrons
14:24 wizzyrea actually that's what it looks like in production too :)
14:24 wizzyrea we are patron friendly here >.>
14:24 chris_n :)
14:24 wizzyrea >.>
14:24 * chris_n misses the marc view on wizzyrea's test system
14:23 wizzyrea yea, the OR is 856
14:23 cait chris_n: but yes to your question
14:23 cait sec
14:23 cait searching for an exmaple
14:23 chris_n cait: do you just lump them all on the same line in your item display?
14:22 chris_n so the "Online Resources:" field is 856?
14:22 chris_n pictures++
14:22 chris_n wizzyrea that helps
14:21 cait becaue of catalog enrichment from the union catalog
14:21 wizzyrea we have a not-for-loan status of download
14:21 cait we have lots of urls
14:21 wizzyrea I believe
14:21 wizzyrea now, we don't have more than one, but we don't have your situation either
14:21 cait hi wizzyrea :)
14:21 wizzyrea we do them like this
14:21 wizzyrea http://catalog-test.nexpresslibrary.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=433883
14:21 cait I would keep it on the same record
14:21 cait content / presentation wise
14:20 cait so as long as all urls lead to the same resource
14:20 cait that will show
14:20 chris_n we will retain some local copies to avoid future unavailability
14:20 cait you can give a description for each 856
14:20 chris_n sometimes public domain resources disappear
14:20 chris_n ie... I serve a copy locally, but also want to reference it on the i-net
14:20 wizzyrea hmm
14:19 chris_n URL
14:19 wizzyrea well, define location?
14:19 chris_n so I should probably set off on the path of a new bib for e-resources and then one per location?
14:19 wizzyrea < publics
14:18 wizzyrea dvd
14:18 wizzyrea large print, mass market, etc
14:18 chris_n ahh
14:18 chris_n or are e-resources not in the set of items?
14:18 wizzyrea we add new bibs whenever the medium changes.
14:18 chris_n right
14:17 wizzyrea not real items
14:17 wizzyrea e-items
14:17 wizzyrea oh, never mind.
14:17 chris_n ie, should I have one bib for each resource location?
14:17 wizzyrea for what it's worth
14:16 * chris_n thinks life just got harder for some reason...
14:16 chris_n so is there a "norm" for when to add "duplicate" bibs and when to add more items to the same bib?
14:15 cait the one in the database or the one from zebra
14:15 cait not sure which xml is used
14:15 cait you probably can't
14:15 cait since we removed the items from the xml
14:14 cait thinking yout it , not sure you can
14:14 cait hm
14:14 cait items in general are not dealt with in the xsl
14:14 cait but
14:14 cait I tihnk you could
14:14 chris_n so 952$u is not easily added to the stylesheet?
14:14 cait but much harder to make it display nicely if you want to change the default
14:13 chris_n that was staring me in the face...
14:13 chris_n well... it must be monday
14:13 cait 952 $u I think
14:13 chris_n ahh
14:13 cait have an url in the item
14:13 cait you can do that
14:13 cait why have it in the bib?
14:13 * chris_n considers a case where two items attached to a bib reference copies of the resource at different locations... url-ly speaking
14:12 chris_n why not have the resource url in the item rather than the bib?
14:11 sekjal apparently it's Dyngus Day (http://www.dyngusdaybuffalo.com/whatisdyngusday.html)
14:11 chris_n hmm
14:09 wizzyrea hehe
14:09 * chris_n was beginning to think he missed a holiday or some such ;-)
14:09 wizzyrea mornin
14:09 chris_n cool
14:09 chris_n hi wizzyrea
14:08 cait and you can make any field display that is in your marcxml
14:08 chris_n http://openlibrary.org/dev/docs/bookreader
14:08 cait and there is already a lot of code for that in the xsl stylesheets
14:08 cait yes you can repeat 856
14:08 cait ah
14:08 chris_n internet archive
14:08 cait IA's reader?
14:07 * chris_n is integrating IA's reader into his koha
14:07 cait there is also a system preference to show correctly formatted 856 as pictures in the record I think
14:07 chris_n what I'm speaking of here is the links to the different electronic formats
14:07 cait ah ok
14:07 * chris_n will be using that too
14:07 chris_n yes
14:07 chris_n cait: can I add any field to my xml stylesheet?
14:07 cait chris_n: are you aware of the super cool feature jared did for local cover images?
14:06 cait slef: scary :)
14:06 chris_n the more the merrier they say
14:06 * slef fails to log in on someone's website and sulks.
14:06 slef cait: apparently :)
14:06 chris_n hehe
14:06 chris_n repeated
14:06 cait I am recorded and repeatable? :P
14:06 chris_n I'd use that field
14:06 chris_n so if I want to mimic something like the left side of this page: http://archive.org/details/inmemoriamhamil00broogoog

14:04 Oak :)
14:03 cait the fourth sign of madness?
14:03 cait now I want to!
14:03 cait oh
14:03 Oak never mind
14:03 Oak *sigh*
14:03 Oak don't ask the 4rd
14:03 wahanui i guess the second sign of madness is hairs on the palms of my hands
14:03 cait the second sign of madness?
14:02 cait hi chris_n
13:45 wahanui the first sign of madness is, like, looking for hairs on the palms of my hands
13:45 slef wahanui: the first sign of madness?
13:43 chris_n lol
13:42 wahanui errrrgh arrrrgh stop it that tickles a bit!
13:42 slef wahanui: die!
13:42 slef die!
13:42 wahanui yes, chris_n?
13:42 chris_n wahanui ?
13:41 * chris_n bangs a pot to see if anyone is awake :-)
13:38 chris_n hi cait
13:38 * chris_n wonders if jcamins_away really is
12:22 cait hm not too bad :)
12:22 slef cait: at least 17
12:20 * cait is excited and working on the reviews.
12:20 cait :)
12:20 cait slef: how many people registered so far?
12:20 slef yeah, glad we're not that big
12:20 cait well. we don't want to get that big
12:20 cait ouch
12:19 slef more like GBP 35000
12:18 slef ow
12:18 slef http://rkd.zgib.net/http/debconf/accounting-balances.txt
12:18 slef I just found the accounts :)
12:18 slef hrm, actually GBP 25,000
12:15 slef debconf is over GBP 12,000 but they have many rooms and pay for some people's food and hotels and so on
12:12 slef no, indeed
12:11 cait it's still not a lot for a multi-day conference
12:11 slef as crowd-funding sites penalise you if you don't reach the target
12:11 slef I was going to set GBP 2500 as the target for crowd-funding if we did that
12:10 cait slef: yeah, so will not work
12:10 slef cait: wikipedia set a target
12:10 slef cait: the venue is reasonably-priced. We are hoping it is OK.
12:10 cait but hard to predict the total, as you say
12:10 cait telling people how close
12:10 cait i thought about how wikipedia does it - have a scale or something
12:09 cait I think it will work out
12:09 cait hmm I thought more even :)
12:09 slef cait: too many variables. I think GBP 2000 + printing + maybe transport (moving equipment and so on) + whatever else we want to do.
12:06 cait slef: do you have an idea yet how much money we will need in total?
12:06 cait slef: thx for changing the sponsoring text :)
12:05 jcamins slef: I figured.
12:05 slef jcamins: that's not cursing. That's what I was wondering about having as a trading name. It would appear before your aaaa11111 bibliography services in the support directory.
12:04 jcamins :)
12:04 slef :)
12:04 slef jcamins: *&!&*&$$!
12:04 slef cait: need all three
12:03 slef cait: money && social && environmental
12:00 jcamins slef: do you know, I was thinking about doing business as "aaaa11111 bibliography services." ;)
12:00 cait but by the way this community works... I don't like to see so much value being put on money - sure we need it...
12:00 slef that's been the hardest thing for me about organising this one
11:59 cait giving others an idea about costs is not wrong
11:59 cait I think that's ok
11:59 slef (depending what comes in)
11:59 slef I agree on the confidential in general, but I'll publish a summary account of the conference and maybe hand over some money to kohacon13
11:59 cait hm
11:58 slef no me neither... previous kohacons have been a bit more opaque about money than I like
11:58 slef meaningful names are better than "aaaa1111 koha co"
11:58 cait I am not sure how other kohacons did it
11:58 cait random would work for me
11:57 slef My company names have started with s and t
11:57 cait youare not a librarian :)
11:57 cait heh
11:57 slef I hate alphabetic.
11:57 cait or alphabetic
11:57 slef I wonder if we can use the same thing that does the paid support listing. I'll ask wizzyrea
11:57 cait would work for me
11:57 cait random
11:56 slef OK... so should the ordering be random, would you say?
11:56 slef I can encourage them to sponsor earlier (which will help) by including them in more announcements.
11:56 cait yes, but I think it will work without so much encouragement
11:56 slef I was thinking, you see, what is there to encourage sponsors to give more than the minimum level?
11:55 cait give sponsors a lot
11:55 cait I don't think we have to do that
11:55 slef (I agree about the small amounts are big amounts for small companies)
11:54 slef cait: I agree. That's why I wanted the Kind Hearts level and not just the big one. I also wanted the numbers in general clear on the call for sponsors.
11:54 cait so mentioning whohas already sponsoered is ok for me, but the listing order ... I don't like that
11:53 cait it should be confidential
11:53 cait and I don't think we should encourage a "X gave more than y"
11:53 cait slef: I think this is a bit too much for me to feel comfortable with - small amounts can be big amounts for small companies
11:52 slef cait: I think know how you feel about the levels in general - this is all a bit icky, but more money means better kohacon12
11:52 cait i am still not sure we should put such a heavy weight on the amount
11:52 cait hm
11:51 slef cait: do you think the new paragraph on http://koha-community.org/kohacon12/sponsoring-kohacon12/ is OK? (Starts "We will announce sponsors...")
11:49 cait and I got the confirmation
11:49 cait slef: yay :)
11:45 slef hi sha
11:45 sha hii
11:45 slef I think sponsors 3 and 4 have just come on board too, but I'll confirm that once banks open again!
11:44 Oak good night rangi
11:42 jcamins That's why I was waiting to submit a proposal, so I knew whether to propose a presentation via Skype/whatever, or whether I needed someone to read the talk.
11:42 slef thank rangi
11:42 rangi ok, bedtime
11:41 jcamins slef: yeah, I saw that.
11:41 slef jcamins: oh I think mle said internet is confirmed. Did you see it / should I check?
11:41 * jcamins wants to call it "Analyze everything! Analytic records in Koha"
11:40 * jcamins needs to submit a proposal for a remote talk on analytics.
11:40 Oak found it: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/replication.html
11:40 slef yes, I am sure
11:40 cait I think close to the deadline will be some more
11:40 cait cool
11:40 slef cait: 9
11:39 cait hm
11:39 jcamins And it's in one of the containers that I generally use for freezing things.
11:39 * Oak Googles "mysql replication"
11:39 jcamins It's not enough antifreeze to do anything useful.
11:39 jcamins We have *never* had a car in the city.
11:38 Oak can you kindly point me to some link... as i don't know what the term 'replication' means for DB backup.
11:38 jcamins We don't have a car.
11:38 cait slef: how many submissions so far?
11:38 jcamins We have a sealed container with something that looks very much like antifreeze sitting on my dresser.
11:38 cait what did you find?
11:38 jcamins You know, sometimes one discovers the weirdest things around one's home.
11:37 slef ok, cool
11:37 slef everything else is out to reviewers
11:37 cait why not :)
11:37 slef cait: would you like some hackfest papers?
11:37 rangi Oak: replication is easy, if you have a spare box to replicate too, (and if losing a days data is a worry)
11:36 cait slef: anything to review for me? :)
11:36 cait oh
11:36 Oak congratulations rangi :)
11:36 Oak for now, RAID is not in the equation.
11:36 slef (and congratulations to rafael on having the second paper accepted for kohacon12)
11:36 rangi yay!
11:35 slef congratulations to rangi on having the first paper accepted for kohacon12 ;)
11:35 jcamins Do the backup off the slave.
11:35 rangi yep
11:35 * jcamins would recommend replication.
11:35 rangi plus running a dump, works the db hard
11:35 Oak yes
11:34 rangi or if the disk dies, your still out
11:34 Oak to add time also
11:34 rangi still need a script to copy it off
11:34 Oak how about I modify the /usr/sbin/koha-run-backups: these lines -- tardump="$dirname/$name/$name-$date.tar.gz"
11:34 rangi and/or running replication
11:33 rangi but if you are doing that much cataloguing, you should have the disk raided
11:33 rangi yep
11:33 rangi you'd need to wrap it with a script that copied the backup somewhere, also, mysqldump works the db
11:33 Oak :) hm. what if i do work all day (cataloging) and at 11:50pm the hard disk dies; suppose, then whole days' work will be lost.
11:32 rangi because it will just overwrite itself
11:31 rangi as it is yes
11:31 jcamins Yes.
11:31 Oak will it be crazy to put the backup command in cron.hourly?
11:30 rangi jcamins: yep i should be asleep, will be soon
11:29 Oak hmm
11:29 Oak i also found it in /usr/sbin/koha-run-backups
11:28 Oak ah cool... okay good.
11:28 jcamins_away Oak: that's how many days worth of backups to keep in /var/spool/koha
11:28 jcamins_away rangi: you're up late.
11:26 Oak what does the --days 2 switch means?
11:26 Oak yes, crap... I was looking at all the long lines
11:25 Oak koha-run-backups --days 2 --output /var/spool/koha
11:25 rangi yep
11:25 rangi last line
11:25 rangi :)
11:25 Oak in the end
11:25 Oak sorry
11:25 Oak yes it is there
11:25 Oak no no
11:24 Oak yes
11:24 rangi where in cron.daily?
11:24 Oak hmm, i don't see "koha-run-backups" command in there... by the way.
11:21 rangi you'll want to take the command, and write a little bash script around it, to do the ftp/samba stuff then put that in /etc/cron.d/koha-common
11:21 rangi thats what does the backups
11:20 Oak okie dokie
11:20 rangi look in /etc/cron.daily/koha-common
11:20 Oak yes
11:20 rangi Oak: you are using packages eh?
11:19 Oak nothing on wiki on cron?
11:19 Oak to a remote location: on FTP plus on local network using samba.
11:19 * Oak needs to learn how to set up hourly backups of Koha.
11:17 Oak hmm
11:16 cait back to work tomorrow
11:16 cait yes, monday is a holiday here
11:16 Oak cait! easter holidays ?
11:16 Oak kia ora #koha

07:07 cait jcamins said scrabble would help my vocabulary.... lots of weird new words
07:06 cait I have to look that up :)
07:06 rangi Yep one good thing, helped my scrabble score
06:31 cait were you inspired by mbalmer's blabla? and then 33 points!
06:31 cait blab.
