Hi fbcit |
| 15:00 |
|
gmcharlt |
hello all |
| 15:00 |
|
gmcharlt |
owen: got a minute? |
| 15:01 |
|
owen |
Yes |
| 15:01 |
|
gmcharlt |
please take a look at bug 1809 -- wonder if you have any advice for the UI |
| 15:01 |
|
gmcharlt |
one issue is that all items columns are displayed in table -- that could be cut down to a smaller set of important ones |
| 15:04 |
|
owen |
gmcharlt: I think the only solution is to pare down the columns in that table |
| 15:04 |
|
gmcharlt |
owen: ok, thanks |
| 15:04 |
|
owen |
I wonder if it's something that could be added to frameworks definitions? |
| 15:05 |
|
gmcharlt |
owen: possible, yes, though IMO too many display settings are expressed in the MARC frameworks |
| 15:06 |
|
gmcharlt |
owen: thought adding yet another syspref doesn't seem ideal either |
| 15:06 |
|
gmcharlt |
s/thought/though/ |
| 15:06 |
|
owen |
Yeah, that's what I was thinking |
| 15:07 |
|
owen |
If the frameworks weren't so hard to work with it might be easier to think of going with that method |
| 15:08 |
|
gmcharlt |
for the item editor, you only really need to see enough to identify the item you want to work with, so maybe we can getting away with just picking 5 or 6 columns, e.g., barcode, homebranch, holdingbranch, location, callnumber, and enum/chron |
| 15:10 |
|
owen |
I agree, although inevitably you'll get people who say, "but we need to see x, y, and z too!" --I'm likely to be that person ;) |
| 15:11 |
|
gmcharlt |
yeah, true enough :) |
| 15:12 |
|
gmcharlt |
though I wonder if sometimes when designing a UI (particularly for the staff side) it's better to not make *everything* infinitely configurable and flexible, but go with well-chosen defaults when possible |
| 15:13 |
|
owen |
I think that's true: Make good choices for the defaults, and bury the setting just deep enough that people don't feel like they *need* to fiddle with them |
| 15:52 |
|
fbcit |
user's fiddle with settings?... never! |
| 20:28 |
|
fbcit |
to what is the 'patronimages' relative? |
| 20:28 |
|
fbcit |
and why do we not create it by default during installation? |
| 20:30 |
|
fbcit |
patronimages dir, that is |
| 20:32 |
|
fbcit |
found the answer to the first question... |
| 20:38 |
|
fbcit |
does the patronimages feature actually work? |
| 20:45 |
|
owen |
fbcit: Are you talking about the upload aspect, or the display? |
| 20:46 |
|
owen |
The display works, if you can get your images uploaded |
| 20:46 |
|
fbcit |
the upload aspect. |
| 20:46 |
|
owen |
I think the upload process is a little convoluted, although I'm not sure how you'd do it better. |
| 20:46 |
|
fbcit |
seems the script cannot write to /tmp |
| 20:47 |
|
fbcit |
although everyone has rwx |
| 20:47 |
|
owen |
I can see from my description of Bug 1618 that the upload process /can/ work properly |
| 20:48 |
|
owen |
It's been a while since I tested it |
| 20:54 |
|
fbcit |
owen: the script is wanting write permission to /tmp... |
| 20:54 |
|
fbcit |
is that permissible from the koha-httpd.conf standpoint? |
| 20:57 |
|
owen |
No, I'm sure the intention is to refer to /tmp |
| 20:58 |
|
fbcit |
