I always do that 12:11 mtompset Aren't irc clients supposed to be smart enough to know what you meant? ;) 12:12 kf I hate it when things are trying to be smarter than I am - better leave it like this 12:27 mtompset Actually, the funny thing is... I was looking at the .po file and the second error in my bug report was a result of what seemed like commented out rules. 12:29 mtompset which means there may be a tmpl_process3.pl bug. 12:29 mtompset But I'll look at that... tomorrow. 12:38 oleonard Hi #koha 12:38 kf hi oleonard 12:38 kf : 12:38 kf :) 12:43 mtompset Greetings, oleonard. 12:44 mtompset Thanks for the assignment, oleonard. I figured out a test plan for bug 8350, and jcamins was kind enough to sign it off. 12:44 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8350 normal, P5 - low, ---, mtompset, Signed Off , Searching for a 10 or 13 digit string (with a number in it) that does not exist in one's catalog will fail to affect SQL statement correctly in C4::Breeding 12:46 oleonard Glad to hear it mtompset 12:51 * eythian notes that "delete reading history" doesn't seem to work. 12:51 jcamins eythian: better it do nothing than erase all reading history everywhere. 12:51 eythian well, better still it delete the correct history. 12:52 jcamins True. 12:54 mtompset Have a good day (24 hour period), everyone. 12:54 eythian later 12:56 drojf what will koha do if i import records via "tools" and some have identical barcodes? 12:57 jcamins drojf: blank the barcodes, I think. 12:58 drojf oh that would be friendly :) so having blank barcodes would be an option if i know which items are problematic beforehand? 12:59 jcamins No, I don't think it gives you a choice. 12:59 jcamins I haven't tried it, but I think it just blanks the barcodes silently. 12:59 oleonard Okay, meeting time. bbl. 12:59 drojf no i mean before i import the data, i could prepare the data with blank barcodes and that would be ok to import? 12:59 jcamins Oh. 13:00 jcamins Yes. 13:00 jcamins But why do you have duplicate barcodes? 13:01 drojf because we did not have barcodes in the old system. so we decided to use call number as barcode for import and then switch to real barcodes when it is imported. now that some call numbers got changed, some are ambigous 13:01 * jcamins scratches his head. 13:01 jcamins So what are you importing? 13:01 drojf what do you mean? 13:02 drojf the plan was to put the call number both into the call number and barcode fields when importing 13:02 jcamins Right. 13:02 jcamins So what are the duplicate barcodes? 13:03 jcamins Wait- why are you doing that? 13:03 drojf sorry for confusing you :) 13:03 drojf you mean why the copy of call number to the barcode field? 13:03 jcamins Right. 13:04 drojf because you need the barcode to check out stuff. it will take some time until everything has a real barcode 13:05 kf drojf: I think there is an importoption to deal with duplicate barcodes 13:05 kf eythian developed it 13:05 kf but not sure in which version 13:05 jcamins kf: that's for bulkmarcimport. 13:05 kf oh, 13:06 jcamins I think stage records has always handled it. 13:06 kf that happens when you just read back... 13:06 kf that's possible 13:06 jcamins drojf: okay, I am with you so far. 13:06 kf but I thought it would just not import them at all 13:06 jcamins Then we get to the duplicate issue. 13:06 jcamins Why are you expecting duplicates? 13:06 kf we have "overwritten" items in the past where some items had been missing 13:06 kf and I think the duplicated didn't get added.. hm. 13:07 jcamins kf: I haven't tried in a long time, but I thought it added them anyway, wreaking havoc upon the poor unsuspecting catalog. Easy enough to test. 13:07 jcamins Once we understand what drojf is doing. :) 13:07 kf jcamins: dealing with crazy data I guess 13:08 drojf jcamins: because up until a few weeks ago, all call numbers were distinct, so the copy in the barcode field would have been too. that changed unfortunately, because somebody decided to have the same call number for several items 13:08 drojf kf: yes 13:08 jcamins drojf: okay. 13:08 jcamins Now I understand. 13:09 jcamins There is a problem either way the stage import handles it. 13:09 jcamins If it blanks them, when someone tries to check out the second item that was imported, they'll end up with the wrong book on their record. 13:09 eythian drojf: it's never worth overloading fields like that, someone always changes something that causes problems like this. 13:09 jcamins If it doesn't add the item, you won't have an item. 13:10 jcamins Here's what you need to do: 13:10 kf drojf: would leaving them empty be an option? 13:10 jcamins Figure out which call numbers are duplicated, and don't fill in the barcode for *any* of the items with those call numbers. 13:10 jcamins Any other option is worse. 13:11 drojf jcamins: okay, i will do that. thanks a lot 13:11 eythian ah, bug 6506 13:11 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6506 critical, P5 - low, ---, kyle.m.hall, NEW , deleting patron history missing errors 13:12 drojf jcamins++ # one day i will find a question you cannot answer ;) 13:12 eythian wahanui: woodchuck 13:12 wahanui eythian: i'm not following you... 13:12 eythian wahanui: woodchuck is how much would could a jcamins chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood 13:12 wahanui OK, eythian. 13:13 eythian no wahanui, woodchuck is how much wood would a jcamins chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood 13:13 wahanui okay, eythian. 13:13 * eythian : filling wahanui with useless factoids since 2010 or so 13:21 * druthb chucks skittles, not wood. 13:22 kf byeall :) 13:22 Joubu hi all 13:23 Joubu jcamins: hi :) For Bug 7992: In fact I think this plugin is not used.

PDF or PS that is. 13:25 drojf bye kf 13:25 jcamins There's a PS somewhere. 13:25 Joubu kf: ok if you think it's in used, we have to keep it. But is not too much to have 3 plugins for stocknumber? 13:26 kf Joubu: if they work in different ways... I think it might not be a problem 13:26 mbalmer jcamins, do you know where? 13:26 wahanui jcamins, is, like, there something identifiably unique about them 13:26 jcamins Joubu: they do different things in different ways, so I think it's not a problem. 13:26 jcamins jcamins? 13:26 wahanui i heard jcamins was A-Grade developper on Koha willing to rewrite it from top to bottom. Good Luck jcamins 13:26 jcamins where? 13:26 Joubu jcamins: ok but as I said, am123 is not a good name :) 13:27 * jcamins has no idea where wahanui got that from. 13:27 jcamins mbalmer: I do not. Possibly the wiki. 13:27 mbalmer np, tnx anyways 13:27 jcamins I think it makes sense to keep the name as it is now. 13:28 * eythian is off to a bbq 13:28 jcamins mtj made it. 13:29 tcohen hi #koha 13:29 jcamins No idea where to find it, though. 13:29 jcamins slef might have a copy. 13:30 Joubu jcamins: I will propose a new patch 13:30 jcamins Thanks. 13:31 tcohen is there a way we can have suspensions logged the same way fines are? 13:31 slef whowhat? 13:32 slef ah logos 13:32 tcohen a user is suspended by fines.pl, we'd like to be able to have a way of looking for suspensions on a user for a period of time? 13:32 jcamins Right. 13:32 jcamins tcohen: I don't think there is. 13:32 tcohen oh my 13:32 jcamins tcohen: there should be, though. 13:32 tcohen i'll have to implement it ! 13:33 slef there are three around - one on the wiki and two I can send but can't currently upload to the wiki because I'm mobile. 13:33 tcohen I had for 3.0.x 14:20 WaqarAzeem Hello! i tried to install the gnome-desktop-environment on squeeze virtual appliance... after reboot got a blank screen. the error log shows: No monitor specified for screen "Default Screen Section" 14:22 jcamins WaqarAzeem: that sounds like an X issue. Unfortunately, I don't know how you would fix it. As an aside, it's generally a better idea not to run a desktop environment on servers. 14:24 WaqarAzeem thanks for the reply. yeah that's rigth not to install the UI. but its wired to find this. 14:26 jcamins My guess (keeping in mind that I haven't had problems with X since xfree86 was current) is that either A) it's the graphics card driver, or B) the X autoconfig didn't run and you don't have any screens configured. 14:48 jcamins mveron: I heard you don't bake cookies in your dishwasher! 14:52 mveron jcamins: No...
