Time Nick Message 22:47 dcook Although again...we don't really deal with that, as we mostly hide the "no cover image available" anyway 22:46 dcook It might be worth it to still add a function to delete "no cover image" found if there is an image thumbnail existing for that record though 22:44 dcook Yeah, admittedly, I don't have any real incentive at the moment to do it either, since it hasn't come up as a priority 22:43 jcamins Though mostly I'm waiting for someone to pay you to do it. 22:42 jcamins Ditto. 22:42 wizzyrea drats. 22:42 wizzyrea oh wait. 22:42 * wizzyrea points at the awesome jar 22:42 eythian I've been planning a nice fancy way of doing this, but been waiting for libraries to want to give us money for it. 22:41 jcamins Unfortunately, it does that by taking advantage of peculiarities in the OPAC I'm using it on. 22:40 wizzyrea that would be good 22:40 jcamins wizzyrea: I have a jury-rigged priority thing that loads both simultaneously, and tosses the efforts that didn't work and/or selects the preferred. 22:39 dcook Depending on how it checks, I could see it improving performance, no? 22:39 dcook Maybe 22:39 dcook Hmm 22:39 wizzyrea but that kind of can't be helped I guess. 22:39 dcook I wonder why it didn't come up when I just searched for kmkale.. 22:39 wizzyrea I would be concerned that such a thing would cause performance delays 22:39 dcook Just found it as you typed that :p 22:38 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7187 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, kmkale, In Discussion , Prioritize cover image sources such as Amazon, Google and add fail over i.e. if first source fails, go to next 22:38 jcamins bug 7187 22:38 * dcook looks more thoroughly 22:37 dcook Hmm, not finding the bug 22:37 eythian it was? 22:35 bag Howard county that was an interesting one 22:35 jcamins He won't be doing anything with it, though. 22:35 bag well I know in 2009 or 2008 there was a patch from a guy at Howard county that started to look at that IIRC 22:34 wizzyrea well cascading the covers has been something that has been a problem for a long time 22:34 jcamins dcook: yeah, it's assigned to kmkale. 22:34 dcook And if you find an image then you stop checking the other services 22:34 bag oh 22:34 dcook bag: Yeah, so that you could choose to first look at Local images then Amazon images then Google images 22:34 dcook I keep thinking that oleonard had a bug for it or was at least talking about it.. 22:34 bag ranking? 22:33 dcook do you remember if there is an existing bug for ranking cover images in the OPAC? 22:33 wizzyrea hiyas, yep 22:33 dcook wizzyrea: are you around? 22:33 dcook allo #koha 22:25 jcamins How did the the state get my name wrong? 22:24 jcamins I think you might be able to get two lousy beers for $12 here in New York. 22:24 jcamins Very cheap beers! 22:23 * wizzyrea shrugs 22:22 trea ^ 22:22 trea depending on where you drink 22:22 eythian wizzyrea buys the cheap beers, apparently 22:22 wizzyrea well, that's couple of beers. 22:21 wizzyrea :D 22:21 eythian 12 22:21 eythian wizzyrea: $ expr `grep 'for the awesome jar' Debian\ Servers-#koha.log | wc -l` - 1 22:21 ibeardslee mmm smarties 22:21 wizzyrea on the end, smarty 22:20 ibeardslee eappropriat ?

I'm very curious to see if it somehow makes RDA seem useful. I'm not convinced anything could do that, stylesheet or otherwise, of course. 20:30 bag yup rangi++ 20:29 cait anyway - rangi++ for doing it even tho he thinks it's really stupid :) 20:29 bag heh 20:29 bag and sssshhhhh 20:29 bag ahhh that's what I get for not reading talljoy's blogpost - sigh 20:28 cait bag: yep, she pointed to his framework :) 20:28 jcamins There was just a conversation on AUTOCAT about icons. 20:28 bag heh 20:28 bag so edveal add in icons too :P 20:28 edveal jcamins I have not done any nice icons but that is an idea. 20:28 bag right jcamins edveal is working on the stylesheet now :) 20:28 jcamins edveal: nifty. 20:27 edveal I have been focusing on the 33x stuff right now. 20:27 wizzyrea ^ if it's not there, it doesn't exist. 20:27 jcamins Oh, I was asking about the stylesheet itself, not a blog post. :) 20:27 cait http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/MARC_frameworks 20:27 bag and then let rangi run with the wiki version cait :) 20:26 jcamins He never found a good reason for it, though. :P 20:26 bag about the same time 20:26 bag yeah I think Joy did one as a blog post 20:26 cait bag: hm rangi did the framework on the wiki 20:26 jcamins But more goes in the 33x fields. 20:25 jcamins Yes. 20:25 bag as I understand it - RDA does add some new things into the 007 or 008? 20:24 bag I think he was just working on the XSLT part and Joy did the frameworks… 20:24 bag actually edveal-phone is working on that 20:24 bag no icons yet 20:24 bag actually I totally agree with you on that jared about the icons 20:24 jcamins I was wondering if ByWater's RDA stylesheet did nice little icons for media types. 20:24 jcamins bag: I was just thinking about you, actually. 20:23 bag afternoon all 20:22 jcamins Wait. 20:22 jcamins Totally unlike the way that you can do that with the 008. 20:22 jcamins rangi: here's something that RDA could do: the 33x fields could be used to generate icons indicating the type of media. 20:21 * cait puts a bowl of cookied in th emiddle of #koha 20:19 * jcamins isn't. He no longer has to use Access! 20:19 wahanui jcamins: sorry... 20:19 jcamins wahanui: but not as stupid as Access! 20:19 cait where is everyone tonight? :) 20:18 wahanui hmmm... excel is a bit stupid. 20:18 cait excel? 20:18 wizzyrea word. 20:18 Guest1168 hehe naw I'm here sorry 20:18 cait gues I am always too slow tonight 20:17 cait hm 20:17 cait hi druthb_away 20:13 cait hm gone again 20:13 cait morning wiz 19:27 nengard k 19:26 cait if not jcamins can still push them to 3.12 19:26 jcamins nengard: I doubt it. 19:26 nengard jcamins will the help files make it in before gmcharlt does his branching? 19:24 khall me too. I can't find any evidence that he is correct 19:23 jcamins khall: I am not 100% sure, but I only remember it showing the message every time. 19:23 khall I'm inclined to believe he has a false memory, but I don't want to tell someone that unless I'm sure I'm correct. 19:22 khall I did, it asks every time. 19:22 cait check out 3.8and test it? 19:22 khall I meant Ignore, not warn 19:22 cait no idea :( 19:22 cait hm 19:21 khall yeah, you can set it to Warn, Ask, or Deny. But they are saying if you had it set to ask, it would only ask once 19:21 cait or at leat i believe os 19:21 cait I think we have turned it off 19:21 cait khall: I think if you see the thing at all depends on a pref, but not sure if it showed up once or more times 19:20 khall They say it was that way in 3.8 19:20 khall General question, I have someone who claims that in Koha, when checking out items to someone with overdues, you only had to click the confirmation dialog once, and could then check out any number of items to the patron without seeing that warning again. I can find no proof of this. Can anyone verify or deny this claim? 19:15 alohabot Hi mib_2bt09z, Welcome to #koha. Feel free to use the '/nick yourname' command to choose a different name. alohabot, wahanui, and huginn are bots. If you need any help, just ask - there's usually someone around to help :) 19:14 mtj yeah, i had heard too 19:11 chris_n yeah, OL seems to have be sidelined of late based on some discussion some months back 19:10 mtj chris_n, im hoping that koha and evergreen peeps might get more involved in some OL projects 19:06 AlohaBrooke Logging. Blind mibbit on a touch is in fact the 9th circle of hell. Thanks for the answer though. :) 19:04 huginn rambutan: bag was last seen in #koha 11 hours, 31 minutes, and 53 seconds ago: <bag> yeah clean those logs 19:04 rambutan @seen bag 19:03 AlohaBrooke Blech. Well I've mah answer now. Thanks :) 19:03 chris_n mtj: tnx; I've hung around there for a while now; I have a side project of doing an integration of their reader w/koha 19:02 jcamins There's a proposed patch for 3.14. 19:02 mtj hey chris_n , nice to see you over in #openlibrary :) 19:01 jcamins AlohaBrooke: there is none. 19:00 AlohaBrooke Anyone know how slick our EDI integration is at this stage? I found some oldish stuff about a Bywater coop joint thingy but aedunno if we have it up and running yet 19:00 mtj heya brooke 18:57 AlohaBrooke Aloha 18:52 chris_n lol 18:30 huginn jcamins: Quote #123: "rangi: #thingsihavelearnt if there is a mad scheme a library somewhere will be doing it ... except madder" (added by wizzyrea at 09:20 PM, March 30, 2011) 18:30 wahanui http://xkcd.com/1172/ 18:30 jcamins @quote get 123 16:48 kf bye all :) 16:41 gaetan_B bye ! 16:32 khall the server is built on perl catalyst 16:31 khall I really need to update the graphics on libki.org. Version 2.0 is far prettier than pre2.0 ; ) 16:30 khall gmchrlt, nope, but then again I don't have a way know who's using it either. I know of a few libraries, but the project is still young and the mailing list is pretty quiet. 16:28 gmcharlt ? 16:28 gmcharlt khall: out of curiosity, do you know of anybody using libki with Evergreen/ 15:39 jenkins_koha Nicole C. Engard: fix typo 15:39 jenkins_koha Project Koha_Docs build #319: SUCCESS in 18 sec: http://jenkins.koha-community.org/job/Koha_Docs/319/ 15:39 jenkins_koha Starting build #319 for job Koha_Docs (previous build: SUCCESS) 15:39 datadoctor Correction: The emails are not generated by native Koha, it's a custom script for sending to the "mobile" number. 15:37 datadoctor If I come up with something useful, I will let y'all know! 15:37 datadoctor We have a kind of failover built in to the overdue_notice.pl, to generate csv or html code if there is no e-mail address present. It would be ideal to include sms and other delivery methods in this failover capacity. 15:35 datadoctor from Koha. 15:35 datadoctor Which are generated as e-mails. 15:35 datadoctor OK, thanks - I will let you know how this turns out. Our patrons really like our sms messaging service. We use a library consortium sms gateway to send the messages. 15:34 datadoctor i would still have to modify each patron 15:33 datadoctor And that's not ideal. 15:33 datadoctor The only way I could use the category defaults would be to assign new categories for "mobile" patrons, or "email" patrons. 15:33 jcamins Yep, that is the only way I can see to do it. 15:32 datadoctor I am understanding that what I want to do is a bit beyond what the system is set up to do right now. 15:31 datadoctor Then modify the specific patron messaging to assign sms notification to the patron. Thanks for helping me get a grip on the issue. 15:31 nengard once those are pushed I'll test the variable patch 15:31 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9850 normal, P5 - low, ---, nengard, Signed Off , Koha 3.12 Help Files Update 15:31 jcamins bug 9850 15:31 jcamins Yes. 15:31 nengard qa folks - want to look at bug 9850 ? :) 15:31 datadoctor I'm imagining that to get the behavior I want I will have to script, using code from messaging.pm, to check the database for the conditions, for example mobile number present, 15:29 datadoctor I am understanding what you are saying magnuse and jcamins. 15:29 jcamins datadoctor: now that you explain what you want, that's not possible. You can set the defaults, but there's no way to have Koha make decisions about what the defaults should be based on other criteria. 15:27 magnuse datadoctor: you can set defaults on the patron categories 15:27 datadoctor The default behavior would be mobile no. sends to sms, no mobile + email sends to email, and no mobile, no email generates print notice. 15:25 datadoctor We want the default behavior to be the same for each patron, but give them the ability to change their notification method later on, through the enhanced messaging preferences. 15:24 datadoctor I'm trying to figure out if I have to manually set everyone's messaging preferences ahead of time. 15:23 datadoctor But found that only a small number of patrons have those preferences set - we're thinking the enhanced settings were turned on briefly in the past. 15:21 datadoctor Yes, we just turned on enhanced messaging preferences so that we can assign sms notifications for patrons. 15:20 druthb They'll get overdues, and nothing else. 15:19 kf but I think patrons that are not in borrower_messaging_preferences won't get notices 15:19 datadoctor or I am missing something... 15:19 kf maybe I misunderstood 15:19 datadoctor hmmm...I only have 1,927 rows in my borrower_messaging_preferences. 15:17 kf if you create a new patron the defaults are copied into the patron account 15:17 kf they never really depend on category defaults - only what's in the patron account counts 15:17 kf datadoctor: there is a script for that - but it doesn't work the way you said 15:16 kf datadoctor: hm be careful 15:16 datadoctor Very cool jcamins! 15:16 jcamins Yes. 15:16 datadoctor Wow! There is a script for that? 15:16 datadoctor Maybe I just need to delete the legacy messaging preferences, then the category defaults would take over. 15:16 jcamins There's a script for resetting messaging preferences to category defaults. 15:15 datadoctor In the past, enhanced messaging was turned on, so I have some patrons with enhanced messaging preferences, and some depending upon category defaults. 15:14 datadoctor I understand. I'm experiencing a problem with legacy data. 15:14 jcamins You can't really have a default that only applies to one person, though. 15:14 jcamins Or set the actual messaging preferences for the patron. 15:14 jcamins You can set a default for the category. 15:13 datadoctor When a borrower is created, would it be possible to assign patron-specific default messaging preferences? 15:12 reiveune bye 15:11 datadoctor Hasta mañana! 15:04 * Viktor Is packing up to go home while pondering how nice the community is 15:01 khall I ended up writing SIP2 code by hand for Libki. I figure it's probably faster that way anyway. 15:01 khall magnuse, thanks! I had passed that over before. I'll have to take another look. 15:00 jcamins Zero-width selections are problematic in web browsers. 15:00 * magnuse wanders off to dinner 15:00 magnuse khall: it's geared towards testing, so it's too verbose for actual use, but by just commenting some of the output i was able to use it in a project i work on 14:59 khall agreed, I never thought I'd understand SIP, but I learned it under fire ; ) 14:59 chris_n jcamins: lol 14:59 magnuse jcamins: lol 14:59 magnuse khall: https://github.com/dpavlin/Biblio-SIP2 14:59 jcamins khall: because SIP is miserable to work with, and Perl programmers don't like being miserable? ;) 14:58 khall That's correct, no SIP2 built into pykota 14:58 magnuse khall: dpavlin has made one that might be used with a few fixes 14:58 * magnuse thinks *everything* should support SIP2 14:58 jcamins That's a pity. 14:58 khall General rant: why is there no SIP client library written in Perl? There's one for PHP! 14:58 jcamins pykota doesn't already support SIP2? 14:57 khall jcamins, yes, that may be the way to do it. Or add a service API to Koha ( which may be more reliable ). 14:57 jcamins Not that I know how, but I know self-check machines do it. 14:57 jcamins Nice and easy. 14:57 jcamins khall: you can set fees using SIP2. 14:57 kf and authentication 14:57 khall Libki does support SIP2, so it can act as a go-between of Koha and PyKota. 14:57 kf khall: I think he meant for setting the fee :) 14:56 khall jcamins, why doesn't what use sip? The idea is, for the purposes of printing, to masquarade as the libki user, instead of the actual OS user. 14:56 * jcamins glares at his web browser. 14:55 tcohen 'hmm, we are missing db host there 14:54 jcamins khall: why doesn't it just use SIP? 14:54 magnuse tcohen: do "man koha-create" to get a description of the options 14:54 Viktor knall That would be great! 14:54 jcamins I'm pretty sure you have to go in and edit the configuration file if you're using --request-db. 14:54 khall Viktor, I'm hoping to add that to Koha. 14:54 tcohen oops 14:53 tcohen ssh koha-demo -lroot 14:53 khall chris_n: yeah, in years past it wouldn't have been such a big deal, but budgets are getting tighter. 14:53 Viktor Will PyKota talk to Koha and add the cost of printing something to a patrons account? 14:53 magnuse i have never used them, but they let you create an instance without creating a db on the localhost at the same time 14:53 jcamins tcohen: I use /etc/koha/passwd 14:53 chris_n khall: ouch! 14:53 tcohen --request-db will ask me for input? 14:52 magnuse tcohen: have a look at the --request-db and --populate-db options to koha-create 14:51 tcohen (got to deploy 38 instances actually, want to script it) 14:51 tcohen i have a db name, user, password, host, a SQL and want to use koha-create to generate an instance, any pointers? 14:50 khall MPL is losing over $1000 a year in people not paying for printed pages, so we are looking to implement pykota for the entire system 14:50 khall http://www.pykota.com/ 14:50 kf heh 14:49 * chris_n looks around carefully for the snake 14:49 khall it's a print management system, written in Python 14:49 Viktor chris_n I'm curious too. Anything starting with "py" gets my attention. 14:48 kf chris_n: what is pykota? :) 14:47 gmcharlt chris_n: I am now! :) 14:47 chris_n gmcharlt: out looking for heroes today? 14:45 khall I'll have to do that. Thanks! 14:45 chris_n I'll be glad to help all I can 14:45 chris_n khall: feel free to hang around in #pykota on freenode; sometimes rambutan is there as well 14:44 chris_n heh 14:44 huginn gmcharlt: Quote #159: "slef: WELCOME TO HOOGERLAND. POPULATION: HEROES" (added by wizzyrea at 05:00 PM, September 23, 2011) 14:44 gmcharlt @quote random 14:44 khall I was hoping there would be a way for me to send the libki username as the user who is printing, but I don't know if it's possible. I can look up the username in the libki database, but I was hoping to avoid having to make a call to another server on the network. 14:43 chris_n there you go :-) 14:42 chris_n heh 14:42 chris_n since the script can be written in any language, maybe you can munge up something in php and take advantage of libki's api 14:42 khall chris_n, I'm the author for libki, so I can modify the client if needed. What I'd really like to do is integrate pykota with libki and koha. I want to be able to print as the libki username. So even if I'm logged in as 'public1', I'm logging into libki as 'khall'. So I need a way to send 'khall' as the print user. On the Koha side, I'll add some integration so creating 'print management fees' in Koha will add credits to the pykota da 14:40 chris_n libki rather 14:39 chris_n I'm not familiar with libwiki or I might be able to help with the rest 14:39 khall thanks chris_n! 14:38 chris_n khall: I sent along a copy of the usermap script we use for pykota 14:31 magnuse hehe 14:31 Viktor :) 14:31 Viktor magnuse The race is on! 14:30 magnuse Viktor: i asked Datatilsynet about something and i think it took 3-4 weeks to get the reply :-) 14:29 Viktor (but we do actually have quite good authorities in general. They do their job without to many stunts) 14:28 jcamins Apparently so! 14:28 Viktor jcamins I'm an optimist :) 14:27 Viktor I'll give you a shout when I get the reply kf :) 14:27 jcamins If I were asking for an answer from the government, I would expect at least a six month delay. :P 14:27 jcamins Viktor: just a day or two? 14:27 kf Viktor: would be interested in the outcome :) 14:27 Viktor I just asked our official government body. Guess it will take a day or two though to get the reply. 14:26 kf we discussed it briefly here... but not sure really 14:26 Viktor Living on the edge :) 14:25 kf or maybe just export some tables, but not all. 14:25 kf :) 14:25 kf magnuse: so the answer is not keep backups? 14:16 magnuse kf: here's one view of it. libraries anonymize circ history so the fbi (or whoever) can't see what patrons have borrwed earlier. but if you have backups that go a long way back, the fbi could ask to see the backups, and so get access to at least a slice of the circ history 14:16 kf hm I amnot sure it is, but right now my brain is in knots :) 14:16 Viktor It just dawned on me that a good backup plan for the database is in conflict with anonymizing loans (at least in theory). 14:15 Viktor Yep. I like safe. 14:14 kf part of data privacy is making sure the data is safe 14:14 kf I think maybe different things 14:14 kf :) 14:14 kf I guess I am confused now 14:12 magnuse kf: but your backup will contain every checkout/loan/issue that was active at the time yu made the backup 14:11 Viktor kf Yes we do plan to anonymize immediately. But if I restore a backup from two weeks ago I can still see who had the book at the time? 14:11 vfernandes i've an attribute to save patron job, and I need to present it besides patron name 14:11 kf vfernandes: I don't know - maybe it's in the manual or bugzilla 14:10 kf Viktor: hmm, how are backups and circ history related? couldn't you keep the backups and still anonymize immediately? 14:10 vfernandes one little question: it's possible to list a adittional attribute in patron cards? 14:09 Viktor magnuse :) 14:09 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9740 normal, P5 - low, ---, fridolyn.somers, Failed QA , using XSLT modifies record authorized values 14:09 jcamins bug 9740 14:09 magnuse bug 9740 14:09 kf I am not sure I get that one 14:09 kf can someone take a look at 9740? 14:08 magnuse jcamins: too bad ;-) 14:08 magnuse Viktor: oh i'd be glad to do that. by hand. ;-) 14:08 jcamins magnuse: it wasn't as exciting as it sounds. 14:08 vfernandes one little question: it's possible to list a adittional attribute in patron cards? 14:08 magnuse "special training for dealing with the FBI" sounds awesome! 14:08 Viktor kf I shure hope that I'll never have to lose a whole month. It would be a mess. But I can't have Magnus verifying backups are ok every 10 minutes either ;) 14:08 magnuse ooh 14:07 jcamins When I was a student employee at my university library, we actually had special training for dealing with the FBI. 14:07 vfernandes hello :) 14:07 * magnuse remembers the story of libraries putting up sign saying "the fbi has not been here today" and taking them down if they got a visit 14:06 Viktor jcamins Any and all librarians of course :) But I love how they stood up to the madness. 14:06 kf anonymize is key with Koha I think - because issues is used for stats and I think statistics for the counts of how many times items were checked out and the like 14:06 Viktor jcamins I love US librarians! 14:06 kf hm maybe 14:05 Viktor kf agreed - It's only as a backup to the backup. Worst case scenario. 14:05 kf what you need to keep because it's expensive to recreate is item and bibliographic information 14:05 kf Viktor: I mean your library will be a mess :) 14:05 kf there happen too many things in just a few hours, you would never be sure who has a book 14:05 Viktor kf Too little or not acceptable to lose a whole month? 14:04 magnuse it will if you have a total crash and corrupt backups and that is alll you are left with... ;-) 14:04 jcamins Here in the US, libraries are encouraged to keep their circulation history so that the government can subpoena them. Most libraries choose to shred the information as soon as they can to avoid the pain of FBI investigations. 14:04 kf Viktor: I think a month old backup of circulation data won't help you 14:04 Viktor kf magnuse :) 14:04 magnuse Viktor: sounds like a very good idea 14:03 Viktor magnuse and I will have to sort out how often and what intervals. But I guess I'll check backups with Datainspektionen. 14:03 magnuse ooh, you ought to know that kf ;-) 14:03 kf but not sure how many days they are kept 14:02 kf we do a nightly full backup and hourly transaction logs 14:02 kf ... 14:02 kf and you need someone who checks that the backups really work 14:02 kf but you can't keep bakcups forever 14:02 kf Viktor: backups are different I think 14:02 Viktor kf but I think we have quite similar laws. I recognize the way of thinking "explain why" 14:02 kf magnuse: don't forget to update items and reindex 14:01 magnuse or 2 or 3 months 14:01 magnuse kf: yeah, the ideal is immediate anonymization. but what if you feel like you have to keep backups for a month? 14:01 Viktor kf What we need isn't who borrowed what but being able to import older backups if more recent ones prove to be corrupt. 14:01 kf at least I have to :) 14:01 kf etc. 14:01 kf what you do with the data 14:01 kf and when you delete it 14:01 kf you have to describe what data you store 14:01 kf because when you don't notice on return at the circulation desk - how would you proof that this borrower was the one who damaged the book? 14:00 kf but even that is a bit difficult 14:00 magnuse kf: a concept? 14:00 kf you can argue that you want to keep the last borrower (for some time) becuase the book might be damaged 14:00 Viktor Interesting - we have Datainspektionen. They might know. They should :) 14:00 kf so what would a library do with information about who borrowed what? 14:00 kf and you can't keep data you have no reason for to keep 14:00 kf you need a concept 14:00 kf Viktor: it depends on laws but not sure if there is explicit way to handle that 13:59 magnuse in norway, they are the ones who have the official opinion on stuff like that 13:59 Viktor I asked on Twitter to get local feedback but it's been quiet. 13:59 magnuse my plan is to ask the norwegian "data directorat" ("Datatilsynet") what they think 13:59 drojf yeah it is an interesting question 13:59 Viktor I think so too magnuse 13:58 magnuse Viktor: we probably have very similar laws in norway. the question of backups is an interesting one, that i have never heard anyone mention 13:58 Viktor I guess it might be ok since it's not really a way to snoop around accessible to regular librarians. But input is appreciated :) 13:57 Viktor I'll ask when I get the chance. 13:56 drojf Viktor: we have to do that in germany AFAIK. kf might be an expert ;) 13:56 Viktor We do and I wonder a bit how to handle the fact that we want a decent amount of database backups which makes it possible to backtrack who borrowed what. 13:55 Viktor Does anyone online at the moment have local laws requiring anonymization of circulation history? 13:09 tcohen yes, thanks jcamins drojf 13:08 jcamins tcohen: I think gmcharlt was waiting until he was elected to start changing procedures willy-nilly. :) 13:04 drojf tcohen: you could put it on the agenda for next meeting http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/General_IRC_meeting,_7_May_2013 13:03 tcohen will we? 13:03 tcohen we didn't talk about it on the IRC meeting 13:02 tcohen question: there was a proposal on koha-dev for being module maintainer 12:47 tcohen morning #koha 12:47 edveal Good morning 12:46 magnuse hm, i'll have to think about that while i walk the dogs, i think... 12:45 jcamins That makes more sense than simply wanting to renew everything. 12:44 magnuse hm, maybe 12:43 jcamins Oh, they want more notices. 12:42 magnuse there are libraries that want to send out reminders, but they don't want to lean heavily on patrons unless there are actually people waiting for a book 12:42 jcamins magnuse: I can't help but feel that they want to do something elese. 12:42 magnuse jcamins: cause a customer is asking for it? :-) 12:42 magnuse druthb: yup 12:41 jcamins Why would you want to, though? 12:41 druthb What you'll wanna do is select itemnumber,borrowernumber from issues, then for each, check to see if it *can* be renewed (there's a C4::Circulation func for that, I think), then AddRenewal, IIRC 12:41 magnuse but yeah, it should not be too hard, if the objective really is to renew *everything*, without exceptions 12:40 jcamins lol 12:40 druthb hehehe. 12:40 magnuse i just looked at some of the sql i circ/overdue.pl and am now almost blind... 12:39 magnuse yeah, that is the conclusion i am about to draw, druthb 12:39 magnuse thanks jcamins, that's what i thought 12:39 druthb it would be relatively easy to write a script to do that from the command line, but there's not a way to do that in the interface, surely. 12:38 jcamins magnuse: not that I know of. 12:38 magnuse trying this with a new audience: is there a way to renew *all* overdue loans? not just for one patron, but for all of them, in one fell swoop? 12:38 druthb :D 12:37 magnuse o/ 12:37 jcamins o/ 12:35 druthb o/ 12:22 jcamins rangi, I think. 12:21 magnuse does anyone know who we can poke at katipo? lists.katipo.co.nz is not listed on http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Website_Administration 12:12 jcamins Well, yes, that is true. 12:11 magnuse i'd say 4 days without any messages is not looking good anyway... 12:01 drojf hrm no, that is not looking good 11:57 wahanui OK, kf. 11:57 kf wahanui: and is a boolean operator like or, and not. 11:56 jcamins Not looking good. 11:56 drojf nothing so far but it takes a few minutes sometimes 11:56 wahanui kf: I forgot and 11:56 kf wahanui: forget and 11:56 wahanui and is that patch only for "$" or for "$ CAD" ? 11:56 kf and? 11:55 drojf done 11:52 drojf ok i'll testmail the list 11:50 jcamins magnuse: no idea. 11:49 magnuse s/new/news/ 11:49 magnuse in possibly related new: where did irc.katipo.co.nz go? 11:49 * jcamins nominates drojf. 11:49 magnuse yup 11:48 jcamins Someone should send an e-mail to the main list. 11:48 magnuse hm, no april here: http://lists.katipo.co.nz/pipermail/koha/ 11:48 drojf i would have expected a fancier ending 11:48 magnuse yay! 11:47 drojf :D 11:47 drojf game over 11:47 drojf let's face it, we answered all the questions 11:47 jcamins It does, doesn't it? 11:46 drojf yeah i go those, that looks alright. but 4 days no mails on main seems strange 11:46 jcamins http://lists.koha-community.org/pipermail/koha-devel/2013-April/date.html 11:46 jcamins Three. 11:46 jcamins There were a few messages from the dev list. 11:46 drojf two days ago from the dev list seems ok 11:44 drojf last emails on main list came on 30.3. 11:44 drojf what happened to our mailing lists? i think i did not get any mails the last days, only from bugzilla?! 11:43 drojf that's a stupid rule 11:43 drojf ah 11:43 kf you can't register 2 letter nicks with nickserv... 11:43 drojf ? 11:43 kf only temporarily 11:42 drojf hi mighty kf ;) 11:42 kf hey jcamins and drojf 11:40 jcamins (not a Koha mailing list) 11:40 jcamins Wow... the guy on the mailing list who keeps on sending inappropriate messages just doesn't learn. 11:35 alohabot Hi mib_gg0tzu, Welcome to #koha.

But I'm collecting all info I can meanwhile. 09:48 Viktor Guess I'll come back to this question if I manage to talk nicely enough to our legal people. 09:48 Viktor well it seems doable with the technical stuff so next step will be sorting out the legal hassle of accepting payments. 09:47 Viktor I see. 09:47 rangi because that is not an existing method 09:47 rangi but koha will need to have changes made to do that, thats what i meant 09:46 Viktor I sort of assumed there would be a bit of security hassle to get my head around when digging deeper. 09:46 rangi they have 09:46 Viktor I shure hope they have thought about that - I use those kinds of services quite a bit :) 09:45 rangi or everyone will just send their own payment done messages 09:45 rangi you'd ahve to generate a md5 hash or something that the service hands back 09:45 Viktor :) 09:44 rangi thats just asking to be pwned 09:44 rangi receiving payment done would never be enough of course 09:43 Viktor *me hoping no new things are required :) 09:43 rangi but yes it would if you wanted to build some new thing 09:43 Viktor Great! 09:43 rangi Viktor: not if it used an existing method 09:42 rangi looks after the printers, and scanners and photocopiers too 09:42 Viktor Would it require any (extensive) Koha-plumbing to receive "payment done" and set a note in the database "payed online by" 09:42 wizzyrea wicked 09:42 rangi yeah the server that talks to koha via sip2 is on the same lan segment 09:41 wizzyrea that the payment thinger was internal 09:41 Viktor Something like http://tech.dibs.dk/integration_methods/dibs_payment_window/dibs_payment_window_introduction/ might be better. 09:41 wizzyrea ohhh didn't realise that bit 09:41 Viktor :) :) 09:41 rangi you'd be mental to do SIP over the internet 09:40 rangi (they are on their own LAN) 09:40 wizzyrea in tunnels :) 09:40 magnuse it's all done with pigeons 09:40 rangi but yes 09:40 rangi they dont travel the net 09:39 wizzyrea rangi - you tunnel those SIP connections I presume 09:39 rangi yep, they do at hlt already 09:39 Viktor I'll have to look into that. It's not on the fast track list - but it would be great for people to be able to pay fines from home in a _secure_ way 09:38 rangi but if the service cant handle talking sip, punching off to dps or any of the other processing places would be easy to do 09:38 Viktor Yep :) 09:37 wizzyrea i mean, ok by me anyway. others may have differing opinions 09:37 rangi yep, you can do that now via SIP2 09:37 Viktor Good :) 09:37 wizzyrea that would be ok 09:37 Viktor What I'm thinking of is adding the ability to move to a third party that handles the payment and then returns (approved payment / not approved) 09:37 wizzyrea it's bad enough that we have to deal with fines and accounting. And that people feel inclined to put personal, really sensitive info in koha 09:36 rangi use some other service for that, they can get hacked by russian mafia 09:36 rangi id hate to see any kind of credit card processing stuff built into koha 09:35 Viktor I'm with you on that. 09:35 rangi yeah what she said 09:35 wizzyrea i personally don't want koha handling money 09:35 wizzyrea yea i'm not for that really. 09:35 Viktor I'm thinking about adding it to the Opac in the long run. 09:34 Viktor Didn't even know you could do that :) 09:34 rangi they also do payment at the selfcheck machines the same way 09:33 wahanui i guess interesting is sometimes good and sometimes bad 09:33 Viktor Interesting! 09:33 rangi not in koha but with koha yep, hlt do, via sip2 09:33 Viktor Hi aquaman 09:32 Viktor Oh and another thing - does anyone use online payment services in Koha? 09:31 Viktor (back) 09:30 Viktor (back in a sec) 09:29 Viktor This has floated quite high up on my list of stuff to pay to get done so I'm very thankful for you guys giving a hint on how to solve it in a community approved way :) 09:29 rangi when all you are transmitting is a small piece of json to and from the server, and the page isnt being reloaded, it will be a zillion times faster anyway 09:28 Viktor Sounds like a plan! 09:28 rangi basically if you build a restful circ client you can queue server side 09:27 Viktor So we could call the relevant module multiple times behind the scenes without having to mod the .pl themselves? Sound great. 09:27 rangi you may issue stuff you are not allowed to 09:27 rangi and if you are queueing client side 09:26 rangi you still cant finish the borrower until all the transactions are processed 09:25 Viktor Well it's spring. A BBQ would improve everyones mood :) 09:25 rangi best to make a light/fast interface so taht the js can do ajax calls 09:25 rangi i think thats the wrong solution tho :) 09:25 Viktor :) 09:25 rangi yep 09:25 * wizzyrea read barbecue instead of barcode 09:24 Viktor To get rid of the bottleneck of waiting for the system to answer before being able to scan more barcodes. 09:24 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9844 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, NEW , Add a barcode queue to checkout / return 09:24 magnuse bug 9844 09:23 Viktor Basically I'm trying to get find out how bug9844 might be done :) 09:23 rangi thats just too risky 09:23 rangi basically i dont want people touching the internals, ie modifying circulation.pl 09:23 Viktor I'm listening but not familiar enough with the internal plumbing :) 09:22 rangi you could have all manner of UI on top of it 09:22 * magnuse is not overly familiar with the svc dir, but would love to dig around in it :-) 09:22 rangi once you have that 09:22 rangi thats what the svc dir is for 09:21 rangi best to do it properly and build a restful circ interface, we have one for cataloguing, and reports already 09:21 wizzyrea i haven't piddled about with it yet. 09:21 magnuse (not sure what "restricted to tools" means, though...) 09:21 magnuse i think plugins are restricted to reports and tools 09:20 rangi that sounds like a hideous security nightmare if it could 09:20 rangi dear god i hope not 09:20 wizzyrea I guess the plugins system can't yet accept a new circ module type plugin... or can it? 09:19 Viktor Not familiar with svc :( But I think magnuse is which is what matters :) 09:19 rangi one that is designed to be light, and pass json 09:19 rangi to go along with authentication, bib, new_bib, report, etc 09:18 wahanui Hmm. No matches for that, rangi. 09:18 rangi you are better off adding a new svc in /svc/ 09:18 rangi they are designed to work with templats 09:18 rangi modding them would be a bad idea 09:17 wizzyrea returns has to deal with things like reserves too 09:17 Viktor I guess it's mostly returns.pl and circulation.pl that would have to be modded. 09:16 Viktor Yes we would have to light up multiple boxes of "stuff to handle" - would it be possible to do that without rewriting the code behind the scenes? 09:15 Viktor hi magnuse :) 09:15 magnuse and hi Viktor 09:15 magnuse yeah, that would have to be taken care of 09:15 wizzyrea or "this person would go over the fine limit... override?" 09:15 wizzyrea such as "this item is on reserve for someone else... override?" 09:14 wizzyrea check out that would probably be ok, as long as all in process overrides are honored. 09:13 Viktor Still thinking about ensuring that no scanned barcodes are lost and adding a que function. Using Ajax to pick up the barcodes and handle them without reloading the page seems like a good idea. 09:12 Viktor rangi 09:12 Viktor rangr thanks 09:12 rangi no 09:11 Viktor Koha question: would using Ajax in circulation interfere with Plack? 09:11 wizzyrea everything else works a treat, so I don't much worry about it :P 09:10 Viktor LOL - yep. Had those types of problems when I built a machine running Ubuntu from parts (without checking available drivers first) 09:10 wizzyrea (in ubuntu) 09:10 wizzyrea my laptop webcam is *still* upside down, a year later. 09:09 Viktor Yep :) It's much easier than patching together bits of information from forums all over the web (I'm looking at you weird Linux distros with driver issues ;) 09:08 wizzyrea it's like teaching nurses - see one, do one, teach one. 09:07 Viktor Always nice to get help from someone who knows. 09:06 Viktor Usually I get logged in as Viktor but have to give the password 09:06 wizzyrea yw, i had that exact problem earlier today :) 09:06 Viktor Thanks wizzyrea! 09:06 wahanui gimmie six! 09:06 wizzyrea highfive! 09:06 Viktor Yay! 09:06 wizzyrea :) 09:05 wizzyrea try /msg nickserv identify yourpassword viktor 09:05 viktorsarge_ irc-question: I can't get my regular nick (Viktor) to work. It's registered and usually my client (XChat Azure on OS X) handles it just fine. Using the /NICK command does nothing.

04:46 bamalik jcamins: no, i want some help and info 04:44 jcamins You could do that. 04:43 bamalik a union catalogue using koha and z39.50 protocol, ok 04:42 jcamins bamalik: what do you mean? 04:42 bamalik thanks wahanui 04:41 bamalik have you any idea of virtual union catalogue? 04:40 wahanui bidet, bamalik 04:40 bamalik hi 04:39 jcamins If I set the encoding to UTF-8 in vim, it automagically starts working. 04:38 jcamins Actually, maybe Access didn't mangle the UTF-8 as bad as one might expect. 04:36 jcamins So, other than the mangled UTF-8, I think the data is actually mostly in there where it belongs. 04:32 eythian imagine that! 04:32 jcamins Thanks, Access! 04:32 jcamins Access mangled my UTF-8. 04:32 jcamins Oh, look. 04:31 jcamins Actually, it turns out I had ~150 records that were broken by that. 04:30 eythian so it's often not the quote, but that plus something else causes the heuristic to fall over. 04:29 eythian It also makes it more likely to get confused by a badly placed comma further down the row. 04:29 jcamins This time it does not. 04:29 eythian that might work. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. 04:28 jcamins One of my titles starts with a quotation mark. 04:28 eythian what'd you do? 04:27 jcamins Uh-oh. 04:21 alohabot Hi mib_pdizlw, Welcome to #koha.
