22:01 caroline      Good night everyone!
21:45 cait          cool, happy to help
21:44 swift101      it worked. Thanks cait.
21:43 cait          that might make the necessary structure on thepage appear, that the script needs
21:42 cait          try adding a news entry first
21:42 cait          that should work with your version
21:40 swift101      for displaying unique titles
21:40 swift101      mmm.. I'm also trying to run a script from this url http://blog.l2c2.co.in/index.php/2017/12/15/displaying-unique-title-and-volume-count-on-the-koha-staff-client/
21:39 cait          tools - news - new entry - look at the interface pull down
21:39 cait          you can display news entries on the left side of the staff client start page
21:39 cait          do you mean the news?
21:38 swift101      I'm using version 17.11
21:37 swift101      How do I enable HTML display on the left side of the staff client?
20:28 caroline      Good morning!
20:28 rangi         morning
19:23 oleonard      Bye all
19:12 ashimema      Lol
19:03 caroline      good for him! He needs a vacation, he's so grumpy sometimes
19:02 oleonard      He can't hear you from the chair on the beach where he is
19:01 caroline      isn't there a command for wahanui ?
19:01 caroline      thx!
19:01 oleonard      https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Development_IRC_meeting_8_August_2018
18:59 caroline      :/
18:59 caroline      next meeting?
18:59 caroline      next meetings?
18:55 tcohen        indeed
18:54 caroline      It's too bad we're out of France's time zone, because I'm pretty sure I remember them telling me they don't use 952 in Koha in UNIMARC
18:52 tcohen        it is probably due to historical issues, and the fact that Koha also supports other MARC flavours
18:50 caroline      hehe!
18:49 Joubu         my interpretation would be "it's as it, do not ask more" :D
18:49 Joubu         "Koha does not use MARC21 field 852 directly and many proprietary systems seem to use 852 slightly differently so you need to check it anyway."
18:49 Joubu         https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Holdings_data_fields_(9xx)
18:46 caroline      But I'm sure when they decided to do that, they had a good reason. I was just wondering what that good reason was
18:44 caroline      yes, 9XX are local use, but MARC21 already has a field for holdings, why create another one
18:43 oleonard      I don't remember exactly but I think it's because 9XX are local use?
18:43 caroline      But it would save me and my team a whole lot of headaches when migrating databases from other systems
18:42 caroline      oops sorry! ;) I'll wait until Sept 12 to ask again
18:41 oleonard      Asking to know that before you've survived the initiation ceremony is a little presumptuous caroline
18:40 caroline      Does anyone know why Koha uses 952 for holdings instead of 852 in MARC21?
16:09 cait          thx for signing my monstrous patch, oleonard++
16:09 cait          i am :)
16:04 caroline      I thought you were on vacation
16:04 caroline      Hi cait !

14:35 Joubu         @later tell kidclamp it seems that you forgot to add the new devs to the about page (and history.txt)
14:32 Joubu         kidclamp: it seems that you forgot to add the new devs to the about page (and history.txt)
14:13 ashimema      yup
14:13 eythian       roughly as far away as you can get.
14:13 eythian       oh right
14:13 ashimema      Maastricht
14:12 ashimema      about 2h30 away from you then.. but with family in toe ;)
14:12 ashimema      haha.. very true
14:11 eythian       have you seen how small this country is?
14:11 eythian       wait, all of holland is near amsterdam
14:10 eythian       ah, wat jammer
14:10 * ashimema    is heading to holland in a few weeks time.. not near amsterdam though
14:09 eythian       yeah, that's a bit much.
14:09 ashimema      I can only sit in my office for a matter of minutes in front of the fans at the moment before I have to retreat to cooler rooms ;)
14:09 ashimema      32℃ outside if my thermometers are to be believed
14:09 ashimema      it's just hit 44.5℃ in my office ;)
14:07 eythian       ashimema: yeah, it's 29° in my apartment at the moment. Debating taking a book to a park or a pub or canalside or something after work.
14:05 ashimema      lol
14:05 * ashimema    thinks his brain is melting again.. it's at leat 10℃ above that in my office..

12:05 * calire      hopes the robots are taking note
12:05 * calire      is the most complacent
12:04 * oleonard    is so complacent right now
12:02 * calire      fell for it
11:56 oleonard      calire: His self-deprecating demeanor is a ruse to lull us into complacency.

09:30 * ashimema    hopes to attend that
09:30 * ashimema    wonders when marseille is next..
09:29 magnuse       (if marseille will have us again)
09:29 * magnuse     wishes he could go to kohacon18, but will ne in marseille and has high hopes for kohacon19 in sweden
08:47 andreashm     calire: same here =)
08:46 calire        well I've met some :) but more
08:46 * calire      too
08:40 * andreashm   is looking forward to meeting a lot of people from the community in person.
08:38 ashimema      having looked at the schedule, this one does look a particularly good and interesting one.
08:32 * andreashm   too
08:32 * calire      is looking forward to kohacon
08:31 ashimema      too many family commitments this year unfortunately.. can't make them all I suppose.. I did a fair few early on but it's been more sporadic of late
08:31 andreashm     ashimema: yup! had hope to meet you at kohacon this year, but saw that you weren't attending. but next year for sure!
08:27 tuxayo        <3
08:27 ashimema      'tis nice being back in community though.. I've missed it the past couple of years.
08:25 * ashimema    just looked at the number of upgrade in the queue and scared himself.. that's not my area anymore.. I managed to make the case for new staff for it a few years back and have never really looked back.. managing the dev team, doing development and getting back on top of my community roles is more than enough work for one person ;)
08:23 ashimema      I don't know the solution to be honest.. everyone here likes customisation to the hilt
08:23 ashimema      some is automated, some is not ;)
08:23 tuxayo        ><
08:23 tuxayo        **also
08:22 tuxayo        *for you alos
08:22 ashimema      no doubt we'll meet in 2019 kohacon
08:22 tuxayo        I guess automating part of the process is very difficult for also right?
08:22 tuxayo        ashimema[m] «most customers have a ton of customisation or pre-release enhancements bolted on»
08:22 ashimema      hehe
08:22 andreashm     =) I meant.
08:22 andreashm     ashimema: =9
08:20 calire        :)
08:20 ashimema      of course.. i thought you'r nick rang a bell ;)
08:20 * andreashm   waves back
08:20 * calire      waves
08:19 andreashm     ashimema: ours? I would hope so. Stockholm Univ Library
08:18 ashimema      a library I've heard of andreashm?
08:18 ashimema      always fun
08:18 ashimema      indeed
08:17 andreashm     ashimema: I sympathize. We have the exact same issue (lots of local patches) that makes upgrading difficult.
08:16 * ashimema    hopes he can push for a hold on 18.05.x whilst he's community maintainer.. get our entire customer base onto it over the next year or so.
08:16 ashimema      we'll get there in the end I'm sure.. and at present it's us that feels the pain rather than customers really.. they get upgrades pretty frequently really.. just a bit of a spread to support
08:15 ashimema      I think at this point it's just that we have never managed to get on top of upgrades.. sales always want to install at the very latest and greatest.. some customers want to upgrade, others do not.. but the really big issue is how hard our upgrades are.. most customers have a ton of customisation or pre-release enhancements bolted on.. which makes each upgrade a non-trivial task :(
08:11 fridolin      ^^
08:11 andreashm     fridolin: the perfect combo
08:10 fridolin      release maintainer is also community maintainer :D
08:10 andreashm     ashimema: yeah, I guess that's a problem when customers can decide for themselves when to upgrade? =)
08:09 fridolin      you welcome ;)
08:09 andreashm     fridolin: thanks a lot!
08:09 fridolin      our next setp is 17.11.10 in octobre
08:09 andreashm     fridolin: that sounds interesting. we have discussed creating a similar test suite to be able to create a better/quicker upgrade process.
08:09 fridolin      andreashm: oki, so in conclusion my personal advice is to jump to 17.11.06
08:08 * ashimema    wishes his customer base wasn't so spread out.. we have customers on a realyl wide range of releases at the moment.
08:08 fridolin      andreashm: ah we have also some own api code, we work on test suite to be more efficient on testing compatiblity with Koha code
08:07 andreashm     we have 16.05 now. So still a big jump to 17.11
08:07 fridolin      okiii, we jump only from xx.11 to yy.11 so we also will wait for 18.11.x
08:06 andreashm     hehe
08:06 ashimema      gut feeling from how many bugfixes I'm still  pushing ;)
08:06 andreashm     (we have some heavy use of api:s, that change a lot between releases etc)
08:05 ashimema      I think although 18.05.x is a nice release, it's still got a bit of settling down to do..
08:05 andreashm     fridolin: we want to test properly first. we've done that with 17.11. if we go for 18.05 we have to start over.
08:05 * ashimema    would actually recommend sticking to 17.11 unless there's something specific you want in 18.05
08:05 andreashm     ashimema: we've decided for 17.11. Just wanted to make sure we go for a stable bugfix release. =)
08:05 ashimema      no problem.. you happened to have probably the two best people at present to answer that question lurking here right now ;)
08:04 fridolin      andreashm: but why not jump to 18.05.x ? its nice and you may use ElasticSearch
08:04 andreashm     thanks ashimema, fridolin!
08:04 ashimema      :)
08:04 andreashm     alright, we'll look extra at that one!
08:04 fridolin      and also translations are better an better ;)
08:04 ashimema      it should just fix stuff that's broken
08:04 fridolin      we at biblibre use the 17.11.06 its quite stable
08:03 ashimema      important securit andbugfix patches go into those releases.. but as release maintainers we're careful to not backport features.. we work on 'least surprise' principals.. a point release shouldn't surprise you
08:03 fridolin      I advice you to use the lasted stable release
08:03 fridolin      andreashm: yop, no big diff between 17.11.01 and 17.11.08 but some critical fixes
08:02 ashimema      personally I think you should choose you're feature branch (i.e 17.05.x, 17.11.x or 18.05.x) based on the features you need/want and then try to keep up with the  bugfix releases upon it.. i.e the .01 etc bits.
08:02 andreashm     (fridolin and other who might know?)
08:01 andreashm     any big differences we should consider?
08:01 andreashm     we have been testing 17.11.01 during the end of spring. wondering if the best thing would be to upgrade to .01 or go for the latest release (.08?) instead.
08:00 andreashm     we are preparing to upgrade to 17.11 next week.
07:46 ashimema      hello

02:20 mtj           looks like items.itype can be set to mandatory via the fwrks, so thats a fix of sorts

02:08 mtj           ..ive spotted a few edgecase bugs for circ and reserves, that assume an item if have an itemtype defined
02:07 mtj           hey #koha, do people think it might be a good idea to start to require a mandatory itemtype for an item?
