Why not 3.8.5? 07:13 mtj go on, give a little more info... 07:13 tsiliha because may have some problem with database 07:14 tsiliha is there safe way that database that exist in koha 3.4.0 will work in 3.8.5 with export mysql and import it in new koha stable version? 07:14 drojf tsiliha: did you try what i proposed yesterday? 07:15 mtj tsiliha, if you are going to upgrade, you should upgrade to the latest version of Koha 07:15 tsiliha <drojf> not yet 07:17 mtj tsiliha, many people have upgraded from 3.4 to 3.8 07:19 tsiliha the upgrade of software i think it is the easy part. What about database? 07:19 mtompset So perhaps the best course of action for you, tsiliha, is to take a backup of your database. And try it. If you have problems while trying it, come back and ask questions. :) 07:19 mtompset tsiliha: The database will upgrade when you access it via the staff interface. 07:47 mtompset Everyone had a good day (24 hours), I'll be back later. 07:47 mtompset Everyone have a good day (24 hours), I'll be back later. 07:53 rangi evening 07:57 mtj heya chris 07:58 mtj anyone seen this before on master? 07:58 mtj updatedatabase.pl: DBD::mysql::db do failed: Unknown or incorrect time zone: 'Pacific/Auckland' at /home/mason/git/head/C4/Context.pm line 766. 07:59 magnuse mtj: nope 08:01 mtj do i have a too-old version of some date module 08:02 mtj ooh, i might know 08:03 magnuse mtj: DBD has decided you need to move to another timezone? 08:04 drojf mtj: rangi and jcamins_away talked about that i think 08:04 drojf good day #koha 08:05 drojf mtj: http://irc.koha-community.org/irclog/koha/2012-10-11#i_1102388 08:07 rangi ah naw thats a different thing 08:07 drojf ok 08:07 rangi that was running a test 08:07 mtj bbiab 08:09 rangi it's just mysql doesn't like that as a timezone 08:09 rangi its harmless 08:09 rangi SET time_zone = "$tz" 08:16 magnuse mysql doesn't approve of bucklame? 08:16 rangi smart of it 08:16 magnuse hehe 08:25 drojf thanks german railways for letting me click through all your forms, then sending me an error when i try to pay and now not have a ticket available for the price that the one in my cart had minutes ago. sure, i'd like to pay 15 euro more for a different conection that is inconveniently timed 08:25 rangi heh 08:36 WaqarAzeem Hello! can anyone let me know how can i debug or at least generate the Log file from my .pl scripts. 08:38 drojf car sharing it is… in your face DB 08:43 tweetbot` [off] twitter: @paul_poulain: "La nouvelle équipe pour #kohails 3.12 a été élue: http://t.co/qJ4rvzkN" 08:56 Viktor Hi!

In business terms, that's a barrier to entry 21:58 rambutan on the other hand, you need an MLS to understand marc 21:59 jcamins Actually, they don't teach you enough about MARC to know what to do with a record if you just take the normal courses, I think. 22:02 rambutan I suspect someday catalogers will be able to just dump all the record data into a plaintext file w/in the db and google will have an intelligent indexer/retrieval algorithm (called camel) to pull the item 22:02 jcamins lol 22:02 jcamins That'll be the day. 22:06 tweetbot` [off] twitter: @27point7: "substr sur chaîne en utf8 mange le dernier caractère si non ascii #facettes #kohails" 22:06 tweetbot` [off] twitter: @27point7: "pour éviter � en fin de facettes, donner valeur paire à FacetLabelTruncationLength. ss dte bug l. 544 de http://t.co/mn6KHs9r #kohails" 22:07 jcamins Huh. 22:07 jcamins Yup. 22:07 jcamins Definitely a bug. 22:07 jcamins Who is that, and can we get him/her to submit a patch? 22:08 gml hi everyone 22:09 jcamins Hello. 22:09 gml is there a system preference for avoiding a patron does not checkout two items from the same biblio? 22:09 jcamins No. 22:10 gml it's a wrong behavior in koha, I think 22:11 jcamins No, I don't think so. 22:12 jcamins I suppose I can see a use for it, but if a book is very popular I'd expect there to be holds on it, and, if there aren't, I wouldn't see any reason why someone couldn't check out two copies of a book so that they could read it without their son/daughter stealing it. 22:15 gml thanks for the help 22:21 wajasu jcamins: i was pulling up a biblio (ISBN 0567093522) which has 240a (uniform title) showing as a link ,and the URL is: http://192.168.122.28:8080/cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/Menschwerdung%20Gottes. which results in an error page. does that link look correct? 22:22 jcamins Not even slightly. 22:22 eythian hi 22:22 jcamins XSLT mode? 22:23 wajasu no XSLT 22:23 wajasu just statdard master dev install. 22:23 jcamins Okay, bug in regular mode, then. 22:23 wajasu it like that for all biblios i find with a uniform title. 22:24 wajasu if you have a running master, maybe you can confirm it. or maybe i should just look at the code. 22:24 jcamins Lemme see if I have anything with a uniform title readily available. 22:25 jcamins Detail page, yes? 22:25 wajasu MARCDetail.pl 22:25 jcamins *MARCDetail*? 22:25 wajasu with ?biblionumber=### 22:25 wajasu http://192.168.122.28:8080/cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/MARCdetail.pl?biblionumber=484 22:25 wajasu http://192.168.122.28:8080/cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/Menschwerdung%20Gottes. for the link 22:26 jcamins Odd. 22:26 wajasu is it a rewrite thing? 22:26 jcamins I don't even understand how that could happen. 22:27 jcamins Okay, yes I do. 22:27 jcamins Bug. 22:27 jcamins 240 is not a URL. 22:27 jcamins Never has been, never will be. 22:27 jcamins The default frameworks are wrong. 22:28 wajasu can you write up the bug, since you can explain it better? "i.e, e.g, aka. the default framework... :) 22:28 drojf i say MARC did it 22:28 jcamins drojf: I agree. 22:28 jcamins wajasu: sure. 22:28 wajasu its on master 22:28 * drojf wanders off to bed 22:29 jcamins wajasu: yeah, I confirmed it. Otherwise I wouldn't know what the heck was going on. 22:31 wajasu ok. another bit. i did the 3.0 to pre 3.10 master upgrade, and wiped my authrecs, and rebuild, link_bibs_to_auths, rebuild, so now my RLIN auth links are working for subject headings. 22:34 jcamins Excellent! 22:34 wajasu so i think i should stay with that instead of the alternate search. , and have my libraruian maintin authority subject headings from now on. 22:35 jcamins Alternate search? 22:35 wajasu the tracings syspref is what i was refering to. 22:35 jcamins Ah. 22:35 jcamins Yeah. 22:35 jcamins If you can do it, that's best. 22:36 wajasu the tracing returns a lot more results though. the non-tracing is only giving me up to 2 results. 22:36 jcamins That's because it's keyword searches. 22:37 jcamins Librarians in space! 22:37 jcamins Bug 8909 22:37 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8909 minor, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, NEW , MARC21 240$a (Uniform title) is not a URL 22:37 wajasu thx 22:38 wajasu i hate seeing error pages. 22:38 jcamins Could be worse. 22:38 jcamins You could be running Plack. 22:39 Space_Librarian Yes! 22:39 jcamins No error pages under Plack. 22:39 jcamins Just errors. 22:39 Space_Librarian Hello #koha 22:39 Space_Librarian @wunder Wellington, NZ 22:39 huginn Space_Librarian: The current temperature in Wellington, New Zealand is 13.0°C (11:00 AM NZDT on October 12, 2012). Conditions: Scattered Clouds. Humidity: 72%. Dew Point: 8.0°C. Pressure: 30.04 in 1017 hPa (Steady). 22:39 jcamins You know what is required? 22:39 jcamins Pizza. 22:39 Space_Librarian mmmm pizza 22:39 jcamins With kale! 22:39 jcamins :D 22:40 Space_Librarian really? 22:40 jcamins Yes. 22:40 Space_Librarian I guess that may work. 22:40 jcamins Forget tomato sauce. 22:40 Space_Librarian :s que? 22:40 jcamins Kale is the way to go! 22:40 Space_Librarian Kale and...? 22:40 jcamins Mozzarella, garlic, and sundried tomatoes if we have any. 22:40 wajasu kale and collard greens 22:40 jcamins Ooooooooooooooooooohh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 22:40 jcamins Artichokes! 22:41 jcamins Oh, yes please! Artichoke-kale pizza. 22:43 wajasu Okra? 22:43 * jcamins senses a distinct lack of enthusiasm from the direction of Wellington, NZ. 22:43 jcamins Nah. I don't like okra. 22:44 Space_Librarian I'm just in stunned amazement 22:44 Space_Librarian I actually think an artichoke-kale pizza would work really well. 22:45 * Space_Librarian is surprised at this considered revelation 22:45 wajasu brand it Artikale (with an accent over the e). 22:45 Space_Librarian I like it. 22:46 jcamins Hehe. 22:47 jcamins And this is just another day of Jared cooking for the Camins household. 22:47 Space_Librarian I have missed hearing about your culinary creations. 22:47 jcamins I have this _thing_ about making the same thing twice. 22:47 Space_Librarian fair enough. 22:48 milts_nz Hey, does anyone here use Mendeley or Zotero? 22:48 milts_nz I've got a question about Koha RIS exports... 22:49 jcamins milts_nz: uh-oh. 22:49 Space_Librarian You guys should see what milts_nz can do with Mendeley though. 22:49 milts_nz yep. 22:49 jcamins milts_nz: I'm familiar with Koha's RIS export. 22:49 jcamins It's... 22:49 * jcamins shudders 22:49 jcamins What's your question? :) 22:49 milts_nz jcamins: haha. 22:49 Space_Librarian lol 22:50 milts_nz well... we create a 'current awareness' blog about recently added Koha items, so I figured why not create a custom CSL style with HTML in it 22:50 milts_nz that way you can export koha -> mendeley -> custom HTML format 22:51 jcamins But you use analytics, don't you? 22:51 milts_nz and it works awesome for the books, but we index articles too - and they come across as item type "book" 22:51 milts_nz jcamins: not at this point. We plan to get around to it. 22:52 jcamins Records for articles = analytics. 22:52 milts_nz ah 22:52 milts_nz sigh 22:52 Space_Librarian we haven't had the serials set up in koha. yet. 22:52 Space_Librarian is this with the 760's? Because nobody's really been able to explain it to us, jcamins 22:53 jcamins 76x-78x are linking. 773 is the principle field for analytics (i.e. bibliographic items contained in another bibliographic item). 22:54 jcamins Sadly our support for exporting that data as anything other than MARC is... 22:54 jcamins rather poor. 22:55 milts_nz I see 22:55 jcamins It's not supported in RIS at all, at the moment. 22:55 milts_nz currently all our data on volume, issue serial etc is in the 250 and 490 field 22:56 rambutan >whatis RIS 22:56 Space_Librarian Which I'm looking at getting mapped to the 700's 22:56 rambutan RIS is a standardized tag format developed by Research Information Systems???? 22:56 rambutan Records Import Service? 22:56 jcamins The COinS provides limited support, which wouldn't help much for Mendeley. 22:56 jcamins And not at all if your records are coded as monographs. 22:56 jcamins rambutan: the first. 22:56 rambutan enx 22:57 jcamins Rather nightmarish format, really. 22:57 rambutan tnx 22:57 milts_nz ok 22:57 jcamins milts_nz: do you set LDR appropriately? 22:57 milts_nz it seems to be quite happy with book exports but articles really don't work neatly 22:57 rambutan and on that note, #init 0 22:57 jcamins Yeah, I'm not surprised. 22:57 milts_nz to be fair, it is a library catalogue not an academic database... 22:58 milts_nz I'm not convinced our leaders are set correctly. We've asked catalyst here in wellington and they suggested an alteration but we're unconvinced 22:58 jcamins As far as I know, you're the second person to ever worry about exporting the data to citation managers. 22:58 jcamins (data for articles) 22:58 * jcamins was the first. 22:58 milts_nz lol 22:58 milts_nz you are no longer alone... 22:58 jcamins To the best of my knowledge. 22:59 jcamins You're going to have a rough time of it with the data in 250 and 490 no matter what. 22:59 milts_nz actually, my other workplace uses it a fair amount - there's a health database in the UK (King's Fund) which we often export files from to endnote 22:59 jcamins milts_nz: with Koha?!? 22:59 milts_nz yeah I figured. I think that's partly why ms space librarian is looking to ship the data into the 700s 22:59 milts_nz yes, king's fund runs on Koha 23:00 milts_nz they're... special. 23:00 jcamins And you haven't torn all your hair out trying to get the article citations into Endnote? 23:00 jcamins (I love Koha very much, but it does not do article citation export very well) 23:01 milts_nz yeah. It's actually not too bad - most of the core fields come across - but they do all require manual QC 23:01 milts_nz and I suspect they have better data than us. So thanks, looks like we need to forget about article export at least for a while 23:01 jcamins Color me perplexed. 23:02 milts_nz and what shade is that exactly 23:02 jcamins I'm not sure, but a very confused one. 23:02 jcamins I can think of no way to get RIS export to work with analytics, no matter how they're coded. 23:03 milts_nz :-/ 23:03 jcamins But apparently you managed. 23:03 jcamins Ask Catalyst how they did it for UK? 23:03 jcamins *King's Fund 23:03 milts_nz that's a point 23:03 jcamins Sorry, just realized that UK was probably not an abbreviation for "King's Fund." 23:04 milts_nz oh I dunno... 23:04 jcamins My preferred solution would be to export a CSL-friendly format so that you could transform directly to MLA/APA/HTML directly from Koha. 23:05 jcamins I think it would be exceedingly useful. 23:06 milts_nz it really would, especially given how many people are using CSL 23:07 * jcamins notes that he does subcontract, if Catalyst wants that development done. (psst: eythian) 23:08 jcamins Our forks have swapped spaces again. 23:08 jcamins We have big forks, and we have little forks. 23:09 jcamins The little forks were where the big forks belonged, and vice versa. 23:10 jcamins (I'm in New York, so it's 7pm and I'm currently working on pizza) 23:11 milts_nz jcamins: the fork draw needs more metadata 23:12 Space_Librarian I always seem to catch you working on pizza, jcamins 23:12 jcamins Yeah... I'm thinking a map. 23:12 Space_Librarian did somebody say metadata? 23:12 jcamins Actually, my kitchen generally needs a map. 23:12 jcamins No one other than me can ever find the mixing bowls. 23:13 jcamins (I'm not sure why, I always put them away the same place) 23:13 jcamins Space_Librarian: I really like pizza... 23:14 Space_Librarian I gathered. It must be an NY thing. :D 23:16 jcamins Space_Librarian: magnuse has pizza every Friday, and he's in Bodo, Norway. 23:16 eythian jcamins: noted :) 23:17 eythian though I have a minion^Wpostgrad at the moment looking for project type work who I give those things to :) 23:17 eythian (right now I'm just getting him started helping to improve OPAC accessability) 23:17 Space_Librarian I had pizza with Brooke on Monday. First time in ages. 23:18 eythian *who I could give... 23:18 jcamins eythian: your postgrad might not appreciate being asked to decode the semantics of the 76x-78x fields. 23:18 eythian deep end, schmeep end 23:19 jcamins lol 23:21 jcamins Possibly a more manageable project would be RIS-improvement. 23:21 eythian I'd just make him talk to you :) 23:21 eythian yeah 23:22 eythian I'll see, it might be that he gets stolen before too long. 23:22 jcamins I favor a webservice to make milts_nz's job super-easy, but that's rather a lot of work. 23:23 eythian problem then is you have to develop things to talk to that service, and damned if I'm going to patch endnote :) 23:24 jcamins eythian: my version of EndNote supports CSL, I think. 23:30 milts_nz tbh if you can get a nice RIS export, then you can use any one of dozens of applications to turn it into whatever you like 23:31 jcamins milts_nz: yeah, but a nice RIS export is something else entirely. 23:32 Space_Librarian good point 23:32 jcamins If you have to do the export more-or-less from scratch, might as well go with an open standard that goes straight into a citeproc server. 23:34 * jcamins would suggest the minion focus on a *working* RIS export. 23:35 jcamins (thankfully most users don't notice the problems in our RIS export, right now:) 23:36 milts_nz as you said it's not exactly the highest demand aspect of koha... and it works OK with books 23:36 milts_nz anyway, lunchtime, cheers for the help all! 23:41 eythian MARC::Record et al. make it unreasonably hard to renumber a field. 23:42 Space_Librarian you said it. 23:43 jcamins It sure does. 23:45 jcamins You should patch MARC::Record and send gmcharlt a pull request. :) 23:46 eythian that's what I'm thinking I might have to do. 23:47 eythian or, just do it the ugly way and create a new tag and reinsert it. 23:47 eythian I also can't see a source repo for MARC::* 23:47 jcamins There's one somewhere because I patched it. 23:48 jcamins I'll see if I can figure out where. 23:48 eythian oh, I've found a sourceforge page 23:49 dhon_ hi all, I'm trying to setup a Koha server for developing a SIP client 23:49 dhon_ I'm using the VM "configured" image 23:50 eythian jcamins: found the sf git repo 23:51 dhon_ the image boots fine, but doesn't seem to be running a SIP2 server 23:51 dhon_ how do I start the SIP server? 23:51 dhon_ I've tried misc/bin/sip_run.sh 23:51 eythian http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_SIP2_server_setup <-- dhon_, this may be useful 23:52 dhon_ and perl -IC4/SIP -MILS C4/SIP/SIPServer.pm etc/SIPconfig.xml 23:52 dhon_ yeah I've read that, thanks 23:52 eythian OK 23:53 dhon_ launching via the "perl ... 23:53 dhon_ " command results in a bunch of missing koha-conf.xml messages 23:53 eythian ahh 23:53 eythian prefix with KOHA_CONF=/path/to/koha-conf.xml 23:53 jcamins eythian: excellent. 23:53 dhon_ and some perl compilation errors (?) 23:54 eythian yeah, they'll be related 23:54 dhon_ launching via the shell script complains that PERL5LIB is not defined 23:54 jcamins dhon_: you'll probably want to set both PERL5LIB and KOHA_CONF in your environment. 23:55 eythian Define PERL5LIB to be /path/to/directory-before-C4 23:55 dhon_ is there likely to be a script that does that for me? 23:55 jcamins Apparently not. 23:55 * jcamins has only used Kyle's VM once. 23:55 jcamins I would've expected it to have been set in .profile. 23:55 jcamins To confirm, are you running as the Koha user? 23:56 dhon_ yeah 23:56 jcamins Also, 3.8.5? 23:56 dhon_ seems to be installed to the /home/koha/kohaclone dir 23:56 dhon_ 3.8.something 23:56 jcamins Yup. That's my recollection. 23:56 dhon_ not sure, just downloaded it today 23:56 jcamins export PERL5LIB=/home/koha/kohaclone 23:56 jcamins export KOHA_CONF=/home/koha/koha-dev/etc/koha-conf.xml 23:57 jcamins dhon_: downloading a recent version today is good. Not so good is having downloaded an ancient version a year ago. Our instructions in that case would be "download a recent version." ;) 23:57 dhon_ :) 23:58 dhon_ http://sourceforge.net/projects/koha-va/files/Koha_3.8.x/ 23:58 dhon_ (was the download site) 23:59 dhon_ okay, so now ./misc/bin/sip_run.sh says "Please specify a config file and try again" - is this the SIPconfig.xml? 23:59 jcamins I think so. 23:59 dhon_ ooh! I think it worked
