08:09 paul welcome kyle
08:12 paul hello johnb. welcome on this channel
08:13 paul was your flight back to us OK ?
08:14 johnb Long but fine.  
08:14 paul no more jet lag ?
08:15 johnb Yesterday was the first day I felt OK.  
08:17 ToinS hello all !
08:19 kyle hello
08:20 kyle paul, have you talked with anyone at the NPL about our ideas to simplify updating the multiple intranet template systems?
08:20 paul nope.
08:21 paul I plan to write something on the wiki, but could not find 1 hour to do this yet.
08:21 kyle ok, that sounds good.
08:21 paul I have some complements to add to my idea.
08:21 paul (like having a TMPL_INCLUDE for the mainpage template as well)
08:22 paul that could be very interesting to include external ressources as well as internal ones (like a CMS)
08:23 kyle that sounds interesting.
08:24 kyle I think this will work out well in the end.
08:38 pierrick spine labels only exist in 3.0?
08:38 paul I think yes.
08:38 paul but not sure.
08:40 pierrick in 2.2.5, I can only see "generate barcodes"
08:40 paul in 2.2.5 for sure : NO
08:40 paul i thought you asked for rel_2_2 CVS

08:53 dewey i already had it that way, ToinS.
08:53 ToinS dewey: wiki ?
08:53 dewey wiki is at http://wiki.koha.org
09:25 pierrick is it possible to edit biblio or item information in bulk mode? (I mean for exemple setting 200$a for a list of selected biblio)
09:25 paul nope.
09:25 paul it's something frequently requested by libraries, but not yet implemented.
09:25 paul will be far easier with CQL
09:26 pierrick why would it be easier with CQL?
09:26 paul because the main problem with 2.2 was "how the librarian will explain it's query?"
09:27 pierrick (I don't understand)
09:27 pierrick 1. I search, I get a list
09:27 pierrick 2. I want to set 200$a for all my search results
09:28 paul that can't be done easily on a web interface for perf reasons (apache timeout)
09:28 paul so it could be done in command line.
09:28 paul BUT !
09:29 paul how can the user explain 1 in command line ?
09:29 pierrick OK, I understand what you mean now
09:29 paul https://gna.org/cookbook/?func[…]litem&item_id=115
09:29 paul (for toins)
09:29 pierrick in PhpWebGallery I use a lot editing in bulk mode, and it's not that hard in a web interface
09:30 ToinS thanks paul
09:30 paul yes, except in php you don't have a timeout unless you're on a restricted web host
09:30 pierrick paul, there is no performance problem in how I did things
09:31 paul maybe, but with Perl in cgi-bin + mysql perf problems for koha 2.2 + updating 10 000 biblios at one time, I bet you'll have one with Koha
09:33 pierrick update biblios set field = value where biblionumber in (1,2,3,...)
09:34 pierrick anyway, it depends a lot on your data model. If you have to do 10,000 queries, it will be too long. If you can have N (not too many) huge queries, it's OK
09:35 paul with marc_word & marc_subfield_table its much much much more complex than a single query
09:35 paul that's why it can't be done in 2.2 in web interface
09:37 pierrick (I still don't understand why, as you have bibid, tag and subfield in marc_word)
09:37 pierrick (I'm sure I miss something, I have no time right now ;-)
10:21 pierrick is it possible to list all current loan ?
10:21 paul I don't think so
10:59 kyle hey tnb ; )
10:59 kyle I was out of town for a couple hours.
11:01 thd kados: are you there?
11:15 kados thd: what's up?
