Time Nick Message 01:08 mtompset YAY! I'm closer to getting a CAS server set up. 01:08 mtompset Anyone have experience with this? 01:36 geek_cl mtompset, any issue? 01:45 mtompset Well, i seem to have the apache mod auth_cas redirecting for authentication, but there's nothing trying to authenticate. 01:46 mtompset No user name and password prompts.. just a complaint about cas/login not existing. 01:47 mtompset which makes sense, because there is no such directory as far as i know. 01:49 geek_cl mtompset, can you enable DEBUG for the apache and the process? 01:52 mtompset enable how again? 01:52 mtompset And I don't think that is the problem. 01:53 geek_cl yeah, but logs can says to you something 01:54 mtompset I'm giving up until someone has a "follow these instructions" URL link that works gauranteed. :) 01:55 geek_cl https://wiki.jasig.org/display/CAS/Proxy+CAS+Walkthrough 02:23 eythian yay, PDF::FromHTML builds on wheezy! 02:36 mtompset Thanks, geek_cl.

Perhaps some widget system? Or at least integrating TinyMCE there as well(?) 07:15 magnuse yeah, i have been thinking about a new type of syspref for the html fields, that could use tinymce when you edit them 07:15 Viktor Indradg: I'd like to have that as a regular out of the box function. Libraries over here often use that kind of functionality. 07:16 magnuse should not be a ton of work, i think 07:16 indradg it is not 07:17 Viktor Then perhaps I should write an RFC to outline what we would want and then we discuss the whole picture at one? 07:17 indradg Viktor: go ahead 07:17 Viktor indradg :) 07:18 magnuse Viktor: that's the way to do it :-) 07:18 Viktor We have the resources to get it done I think but I feel it needs to be synced with the communtiy so we dont break anyones workflow. 07:18 indradg Viktor++ 07:19 Viktor I'll also make an RFC for version handling of records and granular permissions for what sources can edit what fields in records. That one feels a bit more like a potential can of worms :) 07:20 indradg I can spend some time on the CMS. but not unless there is some sort of agreement on what we want and that doing so won't break up existing workflow 07:20 Viktor indradg++ 07:22 Viktor Then a RCF sounds like a very good idea. I can allocate resources to this as well (and the first patches needed for showing author of news might show up today). But as you say we need to know people will not cry out in horror. 07:24 indradg :) 07:54 AmitG heya indradg 07:55 indradg Hi AmitG 08:00 cait Viktor: I amnot so much in favor of sysprefs - because it's only one language if you are not using tricks 08:00 cait at least our current system preferences make things a little hard, it's easy to add a bit of javascript to get the effect 08:04 magnuse yeah, a more mature blog/cms thing should not store pages as sysprefs 08:04 magnuse create a new table for that 08:13 cait yeah 08:26 mveron Hi #koha 08:27 mveron ...and good daytime to everybody :-) 08:28 indradg hiya mveron 08:29 mveron hiya indradg :-) 08:30 indradg Bug 14234 08:30 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14234 new feature, P5 - low, ---, indradg, NEW , Include the user manual with Koha package 08:31 indradg mveron, magnuse, Viktor, cait ^^^^ please do comment, this is partly linked to nengard's bug 11115 08:31 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11115 new feature, P5 - low, ---, indradg, NEW , Pull help files from the manual 08:34 Viktor indradg: From a user standpoint I would find that higly useful. 08:34 Viktor From a technical standpoint I don't see any problems.

Many thanks. BTW this is about docs that should not be available for all on http. We only access these docs through our own network, but after a koha search, so that's why the koha links need to work.

What? 23:22 wizzyrea UK: both. US: neither AU: variable 23:22 wizzyrea NZ: also variable. 23:22 wizzyrea so no matter what, you're spelling it wrong. 23:23 eythian I think our rule for that is == the UK 23:23 wizzyrea I figure you can't really go wrong with adding both though. 23:23 eythian I don't recall any differences. 23:23 wizzyrea people will still get it. 23:23 wizzyrea well and then there are the variations between individual words, and I personally still don't understand all of the circumstances where a z can be replaced with an s 23:24 eythian you're not replacing a z with an s 23:24 eythian you're just not replacing an s with a z 23:24 wizzyrea :P 23:24 wizzyrea you are the most lovable pedant ever. 23:24 dcook I don't think Oz is that variable? 23:24 rangi theres pretty much no z inside english words 23:24 eythian try that on for size! 23:24 dcook Except maybe zebra 23:25 rangi yeah at the start there are 23:25 wizzyrea and like, my full name :P 23:25 rangi but inside 23:25 ibeardslee just put both the z and the s in there 23:25 dcook But yeah, I think z is a north american thing 23:25 wizzyrea ibeardslee++ 23:25 dcook a later addition that is 23:25 dcook Whoops... clicked through an installation prompt?

I find it interesting how it was considered "cool" to speak French as an English person back in the day 23:29 dcook Oooh. Good to know! 23:29 eythian apparently many of our French terms mean nothing to French people now. 23:29 dcook Oh yeah? 23:29 dcook Like what? 23:29 eythian I'm trying to think of an example 23:29 dcook I mean... that was definitely the case growing up 23:29 dcook We were taught "soulier" for shoe as kids 23:30 dcook I said that to a French person when I was 18 and they laughed their ass off 23:30 wizzyrea isn't it chausseur? 23:30 wizzyrea for shoe 23:30 dcook Yep 23:31 * dcook didn't learn that until he was 19/20... despite being raised speaking "French" 23:31 eythian I can't think of the example, but I read/watched something about it recently. 23:31 dcook eythian: I'm sure you're right though 23:31 dcook ^not sarcasm 23:31 dcook I'm sure it happens with Icelandic and Norwegian as well? 23:31 eythian most likely 23:33 dcook Wooo! Got Citrix access for a project! 23:34 dcook Turns out it's virtually useless as everything is too locked down. Woo! 23:34 eythian usually if something involves the word "citrix" you know it's going to be a bad time 23:34 wizzyrea cachet would be one of those words I think. 23:34 wizzyrea it means "stamp" in french but something like "prestige" in english 23:35 eythian faux ami 23:35 eythian amis? I forget 23:35 wizzyrea fake friends? 23:35 eythian false friend in english 23:35 wizzyrea it'd be plural 23:35 wizzyrea because of the aux (if I'm remembering right it's been ages. 23:35 wizzyrea ) 23:36 eythian two words that are the same/similar but with quite different meanings. 23:37 eythian dier in Dutch == animal for example (and hart == deer, which is coincidentally another.) 23:38 dcook ? 23:38 dcook dier = any animal? 23:38 dcook hart == deer? 23:38 * dcook thinks hart means deer in English too? 23:39 dcook Well, male deer I guess 23:39 wizzyrea it's a variant yeah 23:39 dcook In French, those are called faux amis 23:39 eythian dcook: yeah, dier just means animal. 23:39 eythian <eythian> faux ami 23:39 eythian <eythian> amis? I forget 23:39 eythian :) 23:39 dcook False cognates. There's a fancy way of saying it.. 23:40 dcook Ah 23:40 dcook I should've read the scrollback : 23:40 eythian leads to works like dierengarten, too. For zoo. 23:40 dcook :P* 23:40 dcook O_o 23:40 dcook That is cool 23:40 eythian err 23:40 eythian dierentuin 23:40 eythian confused my languages for a moment 23:41 wizzyrea animalgarden, that kind of makes sense for zoo. 23:41 wizzyrea oh, it's not that. 23:41 eythian yeah, tuin means garden 23:41 eythian no, it is literally that 23:41 wizzyrea \o/ winning 23:41 dcook Hmm I think faux is faux both when it's plural and singular 23:42 eythian "zooological garden" if you want to get all upper crust British about it 23:42 dcook I think there are a fair number of words like that, although I can't remember them.. 23:42 wizzyrea it's one of those words that does something funny to it's surrounding words, I do remember that (I think( 23:42 dcook Yeah, boo Citrix.. 23:42 wizzyrea meh. 23:42 dcook I think someone just needs to tweak a firewall, which makes me think this might be resolved sometime next year 23:43 dcook wizzyrea: Hmm? 23:43 dcook Which word? 23:47 dcook If it's faux, it'll make pronunciation differences 23:47 dcook http://french.about.com/library/pronunciation/bl-liaisons.htm
