06:42 rangi        this ask idea site is interesting, but who do they propose is going to do the answering?
06:43 magnuse      rangi: you ;-)
06:43 rangi        heh, unlikely :)
06:44 rangi        i dont have time to monitor yet another thing :)
06:44 * magnuse    suspected as much :-)
06:44 rangi        i suspect it will end up a wasteland of unanswered questions
06:44 rangi        or a bunch of wrongly answered questions
06:45 rangi        like
06:45 rangi        sudo rebuild_zebra.pl
06:45 rangi        :)
06:46 rangi        but i might be wrong, they should try it and see, but not with a .koha-community.org until it was proved useful
06:46 magnuse      good idea
06:46 gmcharlt     if it a builds an FAQ, great
06:47 gmcharlt     if it splits the discuss or results in folks say "no, dummy, ask your question _here_", not so much
06:50 gmcharlt     rangi: I'd disagree with you on one point -- if the experiment gets made (and I think it should be explicitly done, if it all, only as an experiment), it ought to be on a koha-community.org subdomain
06:51 gmcharlt     first, to encourage people to think of k-c.org as the place to go or jump off from for help
06:52 gmcharlt     second, based on the experience with the libraries stackexchange, that hosting it elsewhere is all but guaranteed to ensure that it will be a wasteland
07:01 rangi        im more of the, i dont want a pile of bad answers to be associated with koha-community.org
07:02 rangi        because i think its 90% chance of being bad and non existant answers
07:02 rangi        if i thought it might work, id want it associated
07:06 gmcharlt     that almost becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, though
07:07 gmcharlt     mind you, I'm not volunteering to set one up
07:08 rangi        yep
07:09 gmcharlt     I'm not sure that there's any basis to this other than a gut feeling, but I feel like stackexchange-like sites just about  need a bigger pool of folks willing to answer quesitions to be useful than a mailing list does
07:09 rangi        exactly
07:09 rangi        much bigger
07:10 rangi        without people spending a lot of time rating answers too
07:10 rangi        you end up with a lot of searchable bad advice
07:10 rangi        the only reason stackexchange is useful
07:11 rangi        is because bad answers get rated down
07:11 gmcharlt     and the occassional good-but-non-consensus answer, no doubt
07:11 rangi        ye
07:11 rangi        p
07:13 gmcharlt     on the other hand, other than making things more bulletproof (which, of course, would be a Good Thing), there's got to be a better way to deal with the perennial questions other than variations on RTFM
07:13 rangi        yep
07:13 gmcharlt     which tends to be a common failure mode of a lot of experienced folks on the mailing lists
07:14 gmcharlt     the other common one being simply not responding to those at all
07:14 rangi        i feel like 90% of the questions
07:15 rangi        should be directed to http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/filepermissions.html
07:15 rangi        seriously
07:16 rangi        if you dont understand file permissions and/or cron .. don't run a server
07:16 rangi        helping them is actually not helping them
07:16 rangi        unless you are willing to spend a couple of weeks teaching them the basics of a posix system
07:17 gmcharlt     but I enjoy that!  also, I love that the walls in my room are so cushiony!
07:17 rangi        becaus otherwsie be it 1 week, 1 month, or 1 year from now, they will either be pwnd, have a disk die, or trashed their system in some other way
07:18 rangi        its a problem i dont have a good solution to
07:19 rangi        LUGs seem to have disappeared
07:23 gmcharlt     the irony of all this is that Koha has never been easier to install
07:23 gmcharlt     heh
07:23 gmcharlt     maybe that's the problem
07:23 gmcharlt     :)
07:24 gmcharlt     anyway, time to wander off to bed
07:32 rangi        i think thats part of it, the koha barrier is really low, which means inexperienced users are trying it :)
07:32 rangi        sleep well
09:42 cait         good morning #koha

12:25 cait         hm
12:25 cait         that's a hard one
12:25 cait         why not just eat them fresh together with some toast?
12:25 jcamins      No bread for toast.
12:25 jcamins      Oh, and one additional requirement:
12:26 jcamins      I don't want to have to have the oven on for more than a half hour.
15:05 jcamins      cait: I made lychee crumble.
15:05 jcamins      I highly recommend it.

19:12 bgkriegel    hi all
19:13 bgkriegel    cait: after 9902, we need 10088?
19:25 cait         bgkriegel: hm i had looked at rangi's last comment
19:25 cait         and assumed we didn't
19:25 cait         but maybe i was wrong
19:26 cait         bgkriegel++
19:27 bgkriegel    I think that if we put 9902 then the problem from 10088 arises
19:27 cait         that might be
19:27 cait         hm
19:27 cait         i will test if 10088 applies
19:27 bgkriegel    it applies
19:28 cait         hm
19:28 cait         it fixes staged ordering?
19:29 bgkriegel    i'm trying to test it
19:30 cait         me too
19:33 cait         bug 10088

19:33 cait         bgkriegel: seems ok to me
19:33 cait         with the patch applied
19:34 cait         m acqcreateitem was not set for creating items
19:36 cait         bgkriegel: yes, we need 10088 - i can reproduce the perl error

19:43 bgkriegel    ok,  move on
20:14 jenkins_koha Starting build #171 for job Koha_3.10.x (previous build: SUCCESS)
20:14 cait         hm someon around who could test somethin in master for me?
20:15 cait         i have the problem that for my items the homebranch/holdingbranch/branch information does no longer show in the opac detail page
20:16 bgkriegel    Location?
20:16 wahanui      i guess Location is /etc/koha/sites/library/koha-conf.xml
20:17 cait         bgkriegel: the location column is always empty in my database
20:18 cait         it's rather puzzling, the marc view shows the branches nicely
20:19 bgkriegel    strange, I can see it http://snag.gy/q8v2R.jpg
20:20 cait         i wonder if one of the various related prefs is doing it
20:21 cait         i have the separate tab display activated
20:21 bgkriegel    well, just trying to change one of them... and got an error
20:21 bgkriegel    that one
20:21 wahanui      i guess that one is down more often than up
20:22 cait         oh?
20:23 cait         what's the error?
20:24 bgkriegel    a template error when saving OpacSeparateHoldings
20:24 bgkriegel    OpacSeparateHoldingsBranch
20:25 bgkriegel    changing to separate/don't separete
20:25 cait         ah
20:25 cait         hm maybe that was the syspref editor? can you paste?
20:25 bgkriegel    yes
20:26 bgkriegel    paste?
20:26 wahanui      i think paste is found at http://paste.koha-community.org
20:26 bgkriegel    http://paste.koha-community.org/155
20:28 cait         bgkriegel: the logs don't show anything suspicious - but my branches are stll not showing up :(
20:28 cait         bgkriegel: i think what you have is a bug in the syspref eidtor maybe
20:28 cait         it looks familiar
20:29 bgkriegel    you can change that syspref?
20:29 cait         ye
20:29 cait         ss
20:29 cait         but no change on the detail page
20:30 cait         it shouldn't make a difference... but are you using xslt?
20:30 bgkriegel    yes
20:32 cait         hmm i have an idea
20:32 cait         singlebranchmode was activated
20:32 cait         phew
20:32 cait         thx bgkriegel for testing
20:33 bgkriegel    no problem :)
20:33 cait         got ma panicking a bit :)
