'morning owen |

|
owen |
Hi paul |
| 15:57 |
|
paul |
owen : what time is it in Portland now ? |
| 15:57 |
|
paul |
(which GMT are they ?) |
| 15:58 |
|
owen |
I believe it's 8AM |
| 15:59 |
|
fbcit |
g'morning paul, owen |
| 15:59 |
|
owen |
Hi fbcit |
| 16:04 |
|
owen |
fbcit: I've got a question about the new patron image upload form |
| 16:04 |
|
fbcit |
k |
| 16:04 |
|
owen |
If you check 'zip file' but pass a cardnumber value to the script, will the script get confused? |
| 16:04 |
|
fbcit |
you should not be able to do both |
| 16:05 |
|
fbcit |
if you select the zip file radio button, the cardnumber field should become hidden |
| 16:05 |
|
owen |
Here's why I ask: I'm making changes so that you can pass a cardnumber to that page from the patron detail screen |
| 16:05 |
|
owen |
...so that the card number is pre-filled |
| 16:06 |
|
owen |
I'm wonder what happens if someone changes their mind and chooses 'zip' at that point |
| 16:06 |
|
owen |
The card number field will still be filled in |
| 16:07 |
|
fbcit |
hmmm |
| 16:07 |
|
owen |
I could easily empty the cardnumber field when the user clicks 'zip', but I'd rather not punish the user from playing around |
| 16:08 |
|
fbcit |
I may need to add some code to override that var or undefine it at lease in that case |
| 16:08 |
|
fbcit |
s/lease/least/ |
| 16:08 |
|
fbcit |
the javascript may be able to be mod'd to clear that field when hidden...? |
| 16:09 |
|
owen |
Yeah, I just thought it'd be nice to not clear it in case they didn't really mean to. |
| 16:09 |
|
fbcit |
right |
| 16:09 |
|
fbcit |
let me look at the code for a moment |
| 16:10 |
|
fbcit |
it should not be difficult to manipulate the variable there |
| 16:11 |
|
fbcit |
owen: are you aware of anywhere the patronimages syspref is actually used? |
| 16:11 |
|
owen |
It /should/ be used in circ-menu.inc, but I see it's not |
| 16:12 |
|
owen |
It's used in some other places to determine whether or not to load the patron-image javascript check |
| 16:13 |
|
fbcit |
I'm thinking to change it to a YES/NO pref and clarify the description somewhat. Do you foresee any issues? |
| 16:13 |
|
fbcit |
re cardnumber: if the user passes up a zip file, $cardnumber is overwritten by the cardnumbers contained in the *link.txt file in all cases |
| 16:14 |
|
owen |
That's what it is in my system, but I don't know where that came from |
| 16:14 |
|
fbcit |
so I don't think the scenario we're considering will confuse the script, but we should test to see. |
| 16:15 |
|
fbcit |
the syspref description here is: "Enable patron images for the Staff Client; to enable, specify a file extension (e.g., png)" |
| 16:15 |
|
fbcit |
and the value is '0' |
| 16:16 |
|
owen |
Hunh, yeah that's out of date alright |
| 16:17 |
|
fbcit |
it's that way in HEAD |
| 16:17 |
|
fbcit |
also, kados mentioned that there might be code somewhere to display a "no image available" placeholder image? |
| 16:18 |
|
owen |
Yes, I've just committed some changes to make that happen again. It's javascript-based, but I suppose your patronimage script could to it just as easily |
| 16:19 |
|
owen |
Could patronimage.pl return /intranet-tmpl/prog/img/patron-blank.png if there were no patron image in the database? |
| 16:19 |
|
fbcit |
I can add that |
| 16:20 |
|
fbcit |
does that image exist currently? |
| 16:20 |
|
owen |
Yes |
| 16:41 |
|
fbcit |
morning gmcharlt-away |
| 16:43 |
|
fbcit |
owen: I have patronimage.pl displaying patron-blank.png when no image exists, but have one more caveat to overcome before committing |
| 16:50 |
|
gmcharlt |
hi fbict -- how goes it? |
| 16:54 |
|
fbcit |
gmcharlt: fine. you're @ code4lib? |
| 16:55 |
|
fbcit |
gmcharlt: question: can I retrieve the FQDN from some variable in Koha for a given install? |
| 16:55 |
|
gmcharlt |
yep -- will be starting the Koha Camp presentation soon |
| 16:58 |
|
gmcharlt |
fbcit: re FQDN -- it's not in koha-conf.xml, but could be added |
| 16:58 |
|
gmcharlt |
just need to be sure that split-server installations are handled |
| 17:00 |
|
fbcit |
is that a desirable config var? |
| 17:04 |
|
gmcharlt |
fbcit: could be -- just need to be careful about using it, since it could easily be wrong -- e.g., if an OPAC is accessed both from outside a firewall and within, and has different internal and external names |
| 17:04 |
|
paul |
hello gmcharlt |
| 17:04 |
|
paul |
(hdl around ?) |
| 17:05 |
|
fbcit |
gmcharlt: thanks, hope your presentation goes well. I'd like to be there to hear it. |
| 17:17 |
|
fbcit |
gmcharlt: got around it using CGI::url(-base => 1) which I *think* should return the correct FQDN:port each time. |
| 17:18 |
|
fbcit |
hrmm |
| 17:18 |
|
fbcit |
though it will not pickup on firewall mangling |
| 17:33 |
|
paul |
hello nengard. How was your greek restaurant with hdl ? |
| 17:34 |
|
nengard |
paul: very good: http://www.yelp.com/biz/greek-[…]qsebgJwYM6Cj8ofHw |
| 17:51 |
|
fbcit |
owen around? |
| 17:51 |
|
owen |
Yes |
| 17:52 |
|
fbcit |
I've cooked up a patch to patronimage.pl that defaults to patron-blank.png if no image exists for a given cardnumber in the db |
| 17:52 |
|
fbcit |
I've submitted it, but if you like, I'll send you a copy |
| 17:54 |
|
owen |
that's great, fbcit. No I don't need a copy, thanks |
| 17:54 |
|
fbcit |
gmcharlt-camp: it turns out that CGI::url works with the info in the request header and so returns the actual FQDN:port contained there |
| 17:55 |
|
fbcit |
gmcharlt-camp: so this should work nicely regardless of the mangling that goes on in between the client and webserver. |
| 17:57 |
|
fbcit |
owen: let me know if the issue of the cardnumber field is a problem when you make the changes to the patron detail screen |
| 17:57 |
|
owen |
Okay |
| 18:04 |
|
nengard |
quick question - is RSS for search results an option in the admin? (like athens county)? Or is it more difficult than that - i wanted to turn it on in my demo and test |
| 18:06 |
|
owen |
nengard: I'm not sure I understand what you mean. You want to be able to subscribe to a search in the staff client like you can in the OPAC? |
| 18:07 |
|
nengard |
owen: sorry - no i just want the rss feed to show in the opac on the search results page like it does on the athens county opac |
| 18:07 |
|
nengard |
http://opac-nce.dev.kohalibrar[…]search.pl?q=harry |
| 18:08 |
|
owen |
so you want to see the little RSS icon next to the "returned x results" text? |
| 18:08 |
|
nengard |
yes |
| 18:08 |
|
owen |
Is it not auto-discovering the feed and displaying the icon in Firefox's location bar? |
| 18:09 |
|
nengard |
it is!! I'm a dummy..... |
| 18:09 |
|
nengard |
sorry - jet lag and all |
| 18:09 |
|
nengard |
i'll use that - someone here reported a problem so i want to poke and see if it's a bug |
| 18:09 |
|
nengard |
uh oh |
| 18:09 |
|
owen |
It's a legitimate question, whether we should emphasize the RSS feature by keeping that icon there like we have it in dev_week |
| 18:09 |
|
nengard |
Software error: |
| 18:09 |
|
nengard |
Cannot open file rss/O4fJfRXo6xHlGqJemldw6Q for write: Permission denied at /home/nce/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/opac-rss.pl line 159 |
| 18:09 |
|
nengard |
CGI::Carp |
| 18:09 |
|
nengard |
i'll file the bug |
| 18:12 |
|
owen |
looks like hdl was the last to touch that file...you can bug him in person! :) |
| 18:12 |
|
owen |
paul still around? |
| 18:16 |
|
nengard |
owen: hehe |
| 18:25 |
|
nengard |
owen: hdl says it's not his fault |
| 18:25 |
|
nengard |
looks like it's not a bug after all - it's a NOTE for the manual - looks like a permission issue |
| 18:27 |
|
fbcit |
owen: I just submitted a patch correcting patronimages syspref to YesNo and correcting the description as well. Defaults to No (0). |
| 18:27 |
|
owen |
Hmmm... So there's a configuration step somewhere that's not covered by the installer? |
| 18:28 |
|
fbcit |
looks like another situation where the apache2 user needs write permissions to /usr/share/koha/misc/rss |
| 18:30 |
|
owen |
actually opac/rss |
| 18:30 |
|
qiqo |
hi guys |
| 19:34 |
|
fbcit |
u around chris? |
| 19:40 |
|
chris |
yep whats up? |
| 19:46 |
|
fbcit |
chris: what's the difference between 'call number' and 'dewey' && why do what I think are dewey show up under 'call number' and not vice-versa? |
| 19:46 |
|
chris |
dewey is just one form of callnumber |
| 19:47 |
|
fbcit |
so if callnumber == dewey shouldn't it also show up in the dewey field? |
| 19:48 |
|
fbcit |
or it may be the fact that I'm not a librarian ;-) |
| 19:53 |
|
chris |
heh yeah if you choose to use dewey in sysprefs, then id expect it to say dewey i think |
| 19:53 |
|
nengard |
some libraries will have a dewey number and a call number |
| 19:53 |
|
nengard |
it's two different marc fields |
| 19:54 |
|
nengard |
call number being LC call number 090/050 or Local call number 099 |
| 19:55 |
|
chris |
yep but some might also just have dewey, i think fbcit is asking where it should show up in that case |
| 19:56 |
|
chris |
some might also just have LC call numbers |
| 19:56 |
|
chris |
hows the camp going nicole? |
| 19:59 |
|
chris |
heh |
| 20:01 |
|
owen |
fbcit: I'd say call number handling is broken in Koha at the moment. There's no working standard for how to display call numbers |
| 20:02 |
|
chris |
yep, it keeps changing |
| 20:02 |
|
fbcit |
so I'll just specify callnumber since that field appears to contain dewey here |
| 20:03 |
|
fbcit |
so how are other's doing spine labels? |
| 20:03 |
|
fbcit |
or are they? |
| 20:04 |
|
chris |
some are |
| 20:04 |
|
chris |
lots use kbarode |
| 20:04 |
|
chris |
kbarcode even |
| 20:05 |
|
fbcit |
hrm |
| 20:05 |
|
fbcit |
barcode on spine labels? |
| 20:05 |
|
chris |
yeah lots fold around |
| 20:06 |
|
chris |
so on the spine you have callumber, or author or whatever |
| 20:06 |
|
chris |
and it folds around so the front bit has barcode |
| 20:06 |
|
chris |
it all depends what ur labels look like |
| 20:07 |
|
fbcit |
that makes since |
| 20:08 |
|
fbcit |
so maybe using a 1" X 2 5/8" for the wrap around? |
| 20:17 |
|
chris |
sorry was just getting kahu ready for daycare |
| 20:17 |
|
chris |
yeah, one of the defined labels is a wrap around one |
| 20:17 |
|
chris |
opus here in nz use it |
| 21:18 |
|
chris |
hi tina |
| 09:38 |
|
chris |
hey russ |
| 09:38 |
|
ru55el |
hi all |
| 09:56 |
|
paul |
sweet dreams chris |
