23:43 jcamins @query dom
23:35 jcamins Thanks.
23:35 rangi i think so
23:34 jcamins When anonymizing issues, the history remains in the _statistics_ table, not the old_issues table, right?
23:32 rangi so far so good
20:37 cait yep, it's great
20:37 cait :)
20:31 rangi i still get a kick that the nz treasury dept is hosting the koha user day
20:31 rangi http://www.treasury.govt.nz/events/kug-may12
20:30 rangi cya oleonard
20:30 oleonard Quitting time. Bye #koha.
20:30 rangi https://unglue.it/api/help
20:16 cait brave
20:16 oleonard All I'm trying to do is test error messages in the templates, and out crawl the bugs.
20:15 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2149 enhancement, P3, ---, gmcharlt, RESOLVED FIXED, Email user new account details, after account creation
20:15 oleonard Wow I didn't realize how long that feature has been in Koha. Bug 2149
20:14 cait oleonard: some of our libraries are using it :(
20:13 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8057 major, P5 - low, ---, kyle.m.hall, Signed Off , Error when adding a patron with email address
20:13 oleonard Oh, Bug 8057
20:11 jcamins_away oleonard: yay... uhhhh... hmmm.
20:11 oleonard Can't use string ("1") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at /members/memberentry.pl line 357.
20:11 oleonard Well the good news for you privacy buffs is that the feature seems to be broken :P
20:10 kathryn and morning all
20:09 cait :)
20:09 kathryn hi cait!
20:04 rangi Ok my stop bbl
20:04 * cait waves at kathryn
20:04 cait and email verification
20:04 jcamins_away Even better would be a random password that they have to change.
20:04 cait one time password
20:03 jcamins_away Yeah, the token would be much better.
20:03 cait would be good for data privacy
20:03 rangi Never a password
20:03 cait but the feature wizzyrea describes... we would really like that
20:03 rangi A token maybe would be alright
20:03 cait before it gets encrypted
20:03 oleonard jcamins_away: If AutoEmailOpacUser is turned on
20:03 cait jcamins_away: only one time
20:03 jcamins_away Like, the *actual* password?
20:03 wizzyrea then force them to change it at the next login.
20:03 jcamins_away oleonard: it can do what?
20:02 wizzyrea i wish it would email users *a* password
20:02 rangi It's not cool to me either
20:02 oleonard It seems not cool to me that Koha can email new users their password
20:01 cait :)
20:01 oleonard She should hire you guys as her team of lawyers.
20:00 jcamins_away oleonard: are you sure she wasn't telling the truth? If I were doing that, I'd probably not be sure what I was doing either. ;)
20:00 cait yes, not really a lie
20:00 wizzyrea she probably doesn't know how to describe it :)
20:00 cait heh
20:00 rangi Hehe
19:59 oleonard My daughter who just turned 3 has learned how to lie. Me: "What are you doing in there?" Her, in the bathroom spreading lotion on her head: "I don't know."
19:56 * wizzyrea considers a blog "lies I told my kid"
19:56 * rangi stops spreading misinformation to his kids and goes to do it a koha user group day instead
19:56 wizzyrea got my hipwaders on in this iPad project thinger.
19:55 * wizzyrea has been more or less around all day.
19:54 oleonard Hey, and there's wizzyrea
19:54 wizzyrea heya
19:54 oleonard Hi rangi
19:54 rangi Morning
19:45 mbalmer greetings from the swiss alps ;)
19:45 cait now still have 100 pages to read
19:45 cait :)
19:45 cait you should
19:44 * oleonard should read a book sometime
19:41 cait with a book
19:41 cait yes
19:30 oleonard You've been hiding all day?
19:30 oleonard Hi cait
19:30 cait hi
19:23 oleonard Every buy I try to fix today has another bug hiding inside it.
19:08 bag I think I'll need sometime to read the code and find the workflow ;)
19:07 bag it looks like you should be able to upload an order.. do some things in acq and then send the order back..
19:06 oleonard ...although I'm not entirely sure how it works or whether it would really fit into our workflow
19:05 bag well I've got the patch to apply - now I'm playing with it
19:05 oleonard We are interested in EDI
19:05 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7736 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, mark.gavillet, Needs Signoff , Edifact QUOTE and ORDER functionality
19:05 oleonard I saw your comment on Bug 7736
19:05 bag yes
19:05 oleonard bag around?
19:05 hdl no problem
19:02 oleonard Okay, thanks
19:02 hdl yep.
19:02 hdl The "nobudget" could be done in the template.
19:02 oleonard But if that was unintentional I can easily make a template change to fix it
19:02 oleonard - nobudget => $#results == -1 ? 1 : 0
19:02 oleonard This caused the message to disappear from the template:
19:01 hdl oleonard: it was not removing the warning nor anything in templates.
18:59 oleonard Was it intentional?
18:59 oleonard This commit removed it:http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=commitdiff;h=1dbd3ab96cd88ecf9fa57c45f5673e5d8f19dd62
18:59 oleonard hdl: There used to be a warning on the acquisitions home page if you hadn't defined a budget yet
18:58 hdl oleonard: ?
18:58 oleonard hdl I have a question if you're really here
18:56 * oleonard only cares because he wants to fix the style of the error message
18:52 jcamins_away I would think so. Doesn't work without a budget.
18:52 * oleonard imagines so, but doesn't actually use acquisitions
18:52 oleonard Does it not still make sense to prompt the user to define a budget if they go to Acquisitions and no budget exists?
18:51 jcamins_away Though it could've been.
18:51 jcamins_away I doubt it was intentional.
18:50 oleonard http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=commitdiff;h=1dbd3ab96cd88ecf9fa57c45f5673e5d8f19dd62
18:50 jcamins_away oleonard: who removed it?
18:50 * oleonard wonders if it was a deliberate decision or not
18:35 * oleonard wonders what happened to the "you must define a budget" warning that used to appear on acqui-home
18:16 jcamins_away (though using system is probably just generally not such a good idea anyway)
18:15 jcamins_away (since Koha doesn't use taint checking)
18:15 jcamins_away It wouldn't make a difference to me which one was used, I'm just concerned about using system in a directory with +Exec.
18:14 jcamins_away That one'll work too.
18:13 kyleh looks like IO::Uncompress has replaced Compress::Zlib
18:09 jcamins_away ^^ I used Module::Load::Conditional in that, so it should give you an idea of how it works.
18:08 jcamins_away Whoah! Got the right bug number!
18:08 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8092 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, jcamins, Needs Signoff , Koha should use CHI caching framework
18:08 jcamins_away Bug 8092
18:08 jcamins_away kyleh: however, I have good news for you!
18:08 jcamins_away kyleh: no they're not.
18:08 kyleh not sure how to implement that, the docs are not helpful
18:07 jcamins_away Thinking about it, that would definitely be a requirement for me to sign off on the patch.
18:05 jcamins_away That way you can also warn someone their running an out-of-date plugin even if they have bookmarked the plugin directly.
18:04 jcamins_away For example Plugin::Whatever->Run()
18:04 jcamins_away kyleh: additional thoughts: rather than using CGI to call plugins, wouldn't it be better to use Module::Load::Conditional and a standard exported method?
18:03 kyleh excellent! thanks!
18:03 jcamins_away kyleh: touch_all_items.pl
18:03 kyleh is there any way to rebuild all the cn_sort fields in items easily?
18:02 sekjal a lot of extra moving parts, though
18:02 sekjal OpenSRF is a pretty cool idea
18:02 sekjal right
18:00 jcamins_away sekjal: if you were to OpenSRF-enable your coffee maker, Evergreen could do that.
18:00 * sekjal looks forward to the plugin that'll make coffee on request
17:59 kyleh agreed, better to know everything now than code into a corner
17:58 jcamins_away Of course. But if I mention everything that comes to mind now, there will be that much less of a chance that there will be further things when I have time to look at it again later.
17:57 kyleh we can always update it incrementally
17:57 jcamins_away (and maybe in the future, time will be less of an issue)
17:57 jcamins_away (that's speculation, but while I'm talking about something I don't have time to try, I might as well share all my thoughts, right?;)
17:57 kyleh I'll see what I can do.
17:56 jcamins_away kyleh: additional thought: making the plugin interface object-oriented might make for better security, since it ensures greater encapsulation.
17:53 * sekjal just spent the last couple days hackin' at Dokuwiki plugins
17:53 melia that's the idea! let the crazies do their thing without bothering the rest of us ;)
17:52 jcamins_away kyleh: also, it would be good to have both a syspref *and* a configuration setting in koha-conf.xml required to enable the plugin module.
17:52 sekjal all in all, it looks very appealing. will let libraries do crazy custom things without having to force it into the global codebase
17:51 kyleh can do!
17:51 jcamins_away ^^ hard word to type right
17:51 jcamins_away *image
17:50 jcamins_away Also, agreed on the Koha:: namespace.
17:50 jcamins_away That really ought to be used for patron image uploads and cover iamge uploads as well, but I didn't learn about it until after.
17:50 kyleh I'll take a look at that
17:50 jcamins_away I think that's what it's called.
17:49 kyleh of course, users will need to vet any plugins, just like any plugin for another program.
17:49 jcamins_away kyleh: Compress:ZLib.
17:49 sekjal though paul_p may have some more specific ideas on that
17:49 jcamins_away kyleh: oh, you're here.
17:49 sekjal I'd also recommend creating the new module in the Koha namespace, instead of C4, since that's where we're headed
17:49 kyleh I'm open to any suggestions for improvements
17:48 jcamins_away Also, using unzip in an executable directory seems... dangerous.
17:48 melia well that's a good start! thanks jcamins_away
17:48 jcamins_away melia: I don't have time to test it right now, but I can tell you there's a typo... the file type is kPz not kRz as it says in the patch.
17:47 jcamins_away sekjal: right.
17:47 sekjal since that would be.... well, a LOT of work
17:47 sekjal it doesn't try to 'hook' into any place in the existing codebase
17:47 sekjal now, this plugin feature, it basically just lets users upload custom scripts to do whatever
17:46 jcamins_away melia: exactly.
17:45 melia I guess fudge ships better :)
17:45 melia I've got some angel food cake with strawberries over here and real whipped creamâ€¦ but you'd have to come to California to get it!
17:45 melia hehe
17:45 jcamins_away melia: I've found fudge to be a successful way to encourage testing.
17:37 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7804 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, kyle.m.hall, Needs Signoff , Add Koha Plugin System
17:37 melia since we can't have in-company sign-offs, is there anyone available who wouldn't mind testing bug 7804?
17:36 bag hi melia
17:36 melia hi #koha
17:11 oleonard Hm, must have had something to do with trimming whitespace
16:54 oleonard git stash --patch sounds useful, but doesn't seem to work very well :|
15:39 slef anyone know if there's a nice web app for letting users change their own LDAP password?
15:04 jcamins Ah.
15:03 kyleh it's a git install, btw
15:03 jcamins Thanks.
15:03 kyleh it's just a virtualbox disk image, diomidis pm'ed me, so I'll try to help out.
15:03 jcamins diomidis: the easiest thing to do is not log into the OPAC with the kohaadmin user.
15:02 jcamins kyleh: yes, your virtual appliances... is that a package install, git install, or... ?
15:02 kyleh you rang?
15:02 jcamins kyleh might be able to help you.
15:02 jcamins I don't know anything about the virtual appliances, sorry.
15:02 jcamins Oh.
15:01 diomidis http://millruntech.com/koha/koha-virtual-appliances
15:01 diomidis from here
15:01 diomidis oooops wrong link
15:01 diomidis I downloaded it from here
15:01 diomidis http://www.google.gr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CFAQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwiki.koha-community.org%2Fwiki%2FSetting_Up_Koha_in_Virtual_Environment_%252B_Using_That_as_a_Development_Environment&ei=nRK1T-L7JYjP-gbNwY3xDQ&usg=AFQjCNG54gMTDb2_Va0jVaJ3oZ8QtcIBYA&sig2=XA1OfdS4mjBkL0Kag1vV4g
15:00 diomidis all in one and I run it through virtualbox
15:00 jcamins diomidis: so you used the packages?
14:59 diomidis virtualbox debian koha
14:59 jcamins How did you install Koha?
14:59 diomidis how can I fix it?
14:59 jcamins Yes, it's already been fixed, though.
14:59 diomidis is it a bug?
14:59 jcamins diomidis: I believe the fix for that will be in 3.6.5.
14:58 diomidis when i login it gives me this
14:58 diomidis what should I do?
14:58 diomidis Date::Calc::Add_Delta_Days(): not a valid date at /home/koha/kohaclone/opac/opac-user.pl line 112.
14:58 diomidis hi!
14:58 oleonard Hi diomidis
14:54 jcamins Now all will be well until they stop using 880.
14:54 jcamins :)
14:53 talljoy1 bingo.
14:52 talljoy1 simply recreating the 880 field correct it. http://catalog-comm.bjesf.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=25106
14:51 jcamins If you take a look in a real text editor, you should be able to figure it out pretty quickly.
14:50 talljoy1 if I recreate these records in Koha the orientation is correctly displayed. it is clearly the marc coming in
14:50 jcamins That'd be my guess.
14:49 talljoy1 i'm wondering if some of the MARC has that orientation in some of the records they are downloading and missing in others.
14:49 jcamins Okay, good. It's a nice hypothesis. Lots of promise.
14:49 talljoy1 i did see it.
14:49 jcamins Or did the conection die before then?
14:49 jcamins So did you get my hypothesis?
14:48 * talljoy1 has some manners.
14:48 jcamins At least you remembered [off]. ;)
14:48 talljoy1 oops sorry for the potty mouth. wrong window.....heh
14:48 talljoy1 [off] fucking internet
14:47 jcamins ^^ that is a hypothesis. One would need to look at the code to find out.
14:46 jcamins It is required by Unicode, but it is not generally provided in MARC records, so the m880select template probably adds it.
14:45 jcamins Ah, got it.
14:43 jcamins I think it's definitely the field orientation flag, but thinking about it logically, I think that might be automatic in Unicode.
14:42 jcamins Actually, I may have that backwards.
14:42 jcamins Wait.
14:42 jcamins Yeah. 0x200F, maybe?
14:42 talljoy you may be right. is it a hidden character?
14:41 jcamins Yup.
14:41 talljoy where is the field orientation flag? in the actual 880 field?
14:41 jcamins I'm just speculating, though.
14:40 jcamins This was converted into Unicode.
14:40 jcamins No, the field orientation flag.
14:39 talljoy the 066?
14:38 jcamins *character set marker _marker_
14:38 jcamins My guess is that the character set marker was stripped out.
14:36 talljoy ikr
14:36 jcamins Peculiar.
14:34 talljoy heres the link to the opac showing the difference. the first one has the hebrew displayed on the left, not the right while the others are displayed on the right. http://catalog-comm.bjesf.bywatersolutions.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?idx=callnum&q=pj&sort_by=acqdate_dsc&addto
14:34 jcamins talljoy: do you have links to the records?
14:33 jcamins talljoy: the 880 is probably linked to different fields?
14:33 talljoy it's almost as if there is some difference in the marc that would result in this.
14:31 talljoy i can't figure out why one record would and one record wouldn't.
14:30 jcamins talljoy: there are a bunch of places where 880 is displayed. Probably one of them doesn't call the m880 template correctly.
14:30 talljoy Does anyone know what causes the 880 tags to display in Koha? I know that they get identified and the span class m880 is applied, but what identifies them? I have two marc records where one in the display one has span class m880 used and the other is not.
14:25 jcamins maximep: there are discovery layers, but that's a bit different.
14:25 jcamins maximep: no.
14:25 oleonard I remember it happening a few times. Probably PHP and maybe Python, I can't remember.
14:25 maximep there are compatible OPAC in other languages, right ?
14:24 jcamins oleonard: did people use to do that?
14:22 libsysguy for the record lol
14:22 libsysguy ^^ is a joke
14:22 libsysguy but you know we should rewrite koha in nodejs :p
14:22 libsysguy well I suppose perl fits pretty well
14:21 oleonard I have to say, it's been a long time since someone popped in here to say "You should rewrite Koha in X programming language"
14:17 * oleonard imagines that one guy still running that one instance of "jkoha" out there somewhere
14:14 jcamins lol
14:14 libsysguy err webapps**
14:13 libsysguy maybe they heard that jsp was for "enterprise class" websites
14:13 oleonard too bad, I was hoping to run Koha on my toaster.
14:13 jcamins Why would anyone do that?
14:12 libsysguy yeah definitely not maintained
14:12 jcamins Heh.

14:11 oleonard http://sourceforge.net/projects/jkoha/ ?
14:10 * libsysguy is trying to remember where I saw it
14:10 libsysguy no im not
14:10 libsysguy heh
14:10 jcamins Are you kidding?
14:10 libsysguy i didn't pull it and look
14:10 libsysguy its probably not maintained
14:10 jcamins libsysguy: what?
14:10 libsysguy i saw a repo the other day for a jsp version of koha
14:10 oleonard the wha?
14:09 libsysguy has anybody seen the java version of koha?
12:47 oleonard Back later
12:09 jcamins Possibly you have to use https.
12:09 jcamins I think this is the correct URL for cloning with HTTP from github: http://github.com/Koha-Community/Koha.git
12:07 jcamins You could clone over http.
12:07 jcamins oleonard: ick.
12:06 * oleonard grumbles about being stuck in a building which blocks git and IRC traffic
12:03 jcamins Good morning, oleonard.
12:02 oleonard Hi #koha
10:07 rangi :)
10:05 * slef tries to remember if that's the jargon for a faked IP address in someone else's netblock
10:05 slef and is that Martians that EBSCO is vulnerable to, then?
10:05 slef whois IP.ADD.RE.SS should tell you what netblock they have
09:24 rangi but i would bet my house they dont need to connect to a koha z3950 server from ALL of them
09:24 jcamins That's true, and I guess EBSCO _has_ been around for quite a while.
09:24 rangi you could buy up big chunks back in the day
09:23 rangi yup
09:23 jcamins That's a rather large IP block..
09:23 rangi and maybe they do, but im pretty sure they dont use them all!
09:23 rangi they reckon they do
09:22 jcamins I have trouble believing that EBSCO really has a /16.
09:21 jcamins_away Hehe.
09:20 rangi eggs
09:20 rangi ebsco wants us to open the firewall for a range of 65k ip addresses ... ill get right on that
