hello #koha |

|
atz_ |
kwak: you can use MarcEdit |
| 13:09 |
|
gmcharlt |
greetings |
| 13:12 |
|
atz_ |
kwak: to put all items in one branch, you could just use command-line mysql: update items set homebranch="my_branchcode_here" |
| 13:13 |
|
atz_ |
that would change every item in the table |
| 13:13 |

at 17:08 chris said "some small features, or low barrier to entry bugs i can convince ppl to hack on". Actually, we (the two of us here at Rolling Hills Library) are kinda looking for a low-priority project like this to work on. |
| 13:54 |
|
gmcharlt |
rhcl: good idea. if you need help picking something to start with, are there any small pain points in Koha that you'd like to fix in your own Koha installation? |
| 13:56 |
|
rhcl |
I don't know that we are aware of anything that's a specific problem for us yet. We are still mostly just "playing" with Koha in case our current ILS vendor goes south someday. |
| 13:57 |
|
rhcl |
We will probably start using the serials module for real sometime soon, since we don't have that now, but if we ever do completely migrate we'll definitely get a support contract for Koha. |
| 14:00 |
|
owen |
rhcl, you could always browse Bugzilla for stuff to work on :) |
| 14:01 |
|
rhcl |
Yea, we've looked that over a couple of times. When we really do pick something out I may select 2-3 items to work on and then ask for suggestions before we begin. |
| 14:02 |
|
gmcharlt |
sounds good |
| 14:03 |
|
rhcl |
But for today, there's 18 registry settings I have to make, I want to install and test timetrex, I need to get started on Greenstone for my MAS project, and we have one videocamera that's kaput. |

hdl |
owen : have you ever uesd treeview module in jquery ? |
| 14:14 |
|
hdl |
s/uesd/used/ |
| 14:15 |
|
owen |
No I haven't |
| 14:16 |
|
gmcharlt |
hdl: I have - used for the granular permissions tree |
| 14:18 |
|
hdl |
So it would be ok to use it in acquisitions. |
| 14:18 |
|
gmcharlt |
hdl: yep, the plugin is already in the Koha source tree |
| 14:18 |
|
owen |
/lib/jquery/plugins/jquery.treeview.pack |
| 14:19 |
|
hdl |
would add some hierarchy in budgets. |
| 14:32 |

owen++ # Cleans up all my messes and that darned Australian spelling |
| 14:34 |
|
acmoore |
I thought the kiwis had different spelling than that anyway. I guess they use 'ou' and 's' and the other British, Aussie stuff, too. |
| 14:38 |
|
acmoore |
I still don't understand IndependantBranches, though! |
| 14:48 |
|
danny |
i am always amazed how many foreign language hits i get when doing searches on the koha wiki |
| 14:49 |
|
danny |
so many Ukrainian |
| 14:50 |
|
danny |
am I missing a way to limit it to english? |
| 14:54 |
|
ryan |
i don't know of one. i think plone will offer some benefits there. |
| 14:54 |
|
danny |
ok |
| 15:59 |
|
pianohacker |
hdl: around? |
| 16:09 |
|
hdl |
pianohacker: yes. |
| 16:10 |
|
pianohacker |
Are you in bugzilla? I'd like to send http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=2516 to ya |
| 16:13 |
|
hdl |
no problem. |
| 16:15 |

hdl |
gmcharlt: Is there anyone pushing patches from 3.1 to 3.0 |
| 16:22 |
|
hdl |
? |
| 16:22 |
|
gmcharlt |
hdl: not currently |
| 16:22 |
|
gmcharlt |
hdl: kados or I would be willing to do some initial pushing |
| 16:23 |
|
hdl |
ryan: posted a patch for quick push and asked for backport on 3.0. |
| 16:23 |
|
hdl |
This is why I asked. |
| 16:24 |
|
hdl |
And since I was willing to contribute on that, i asked. |
| 16:29 |
|
gmcharlt |
hdl: we'll get something arranged soon |
| 16:30 |
|
hdl |
should there be a vote ? |
| 16:54 |

Kyle |
hey all. |
| 16:55 |
|
acmoore |
hi Kyle |
| 16:56 |
|
Kyle |
I just rolled a unconfigured koha3 vmware appliance. Any idea how I get it onto koha.org? |
| 16:57 |
|
gmcharlt |
how big is it? |
| 16:57 |
|
gmcharlt |
upload as a contrib? |
| 16:58 |
|
Kyle |
it's 741.1 MB. Kados mentioned puting on download.koha.org, but we decided to wait until 3.0 was out before putting one up. |
| 17:01 |
|
gmcharlt |
Kyle: send me a URL to grab it from, and I'll make sure it gets put up on the downloads site |
| 17:01 |
|
Kyle |
will do. brb. |
| 17:59 |
|
Kyle |
gmcharlt: Here's the link : http://www.ccfls.org/temp/Koha[…]n-Etch_VMWare.zip |
| 18:00 |
|
Kyle |
I suppose we should put Zebra in the filename, so we can also have a NoZebra version too. |
| 18:00 |
|
Kyle |
let me change the file name. |
| 18:01 |
|
Kyle |
new link : http://www.ccfls.org/temp/Koha[…]n-Etch_VMWare.zip |
| 18:19 |
|
gmcharlt |
Kyle: retrieving file now |
| 18:20 |
|
atz |
Kyle: everybody should have zebra... it they want to run nozebra they can toggle it off, but it's not worth a separate VM imho |
| 19:08 |
|
danny |
ok before I send this out as an rfc to koha-devel, has anyone talked about adding any type of advanced patron search to koha? |
| 19:08 |
|
danny |
for example, to make it possible to search on fields like email, address, phone number |
| 19:14 |
|
owen |
I've wished for it, danny. Does that count? |
| 19:15 |
|
danny |
hehe |
| 19:15 |
|
danny |
good enough for me, owen |
| 19:15 |
|
gmcharlt |
go for it, danny |
| 20:01 |
|
pianohacker |
Is circ/pendingreserves.pl supposed to work? |
| 20:05 |
|
owen |
Naw, most of those reports are just for show. |
| 20:05 |
|
atz |
lo |
| 20:05 |
|
pianohacker |
Eh. |
| 20:06 |
|
owen |
pianohacker: it's working for me in some fashion, at least |
| 20:06 |
|
pianohacker |
koha libraries: what do you use to find out what needs pulled? |
| 20:07 |
|
atz |
pianohacker: galens hold reports, i think |
| 20:12 |
|
pianohacker |
atz: the stow extensions on contribs.koha.org? |
| 20:12 |
|
atz |
i think that's the most current, where available |
| 20:36 |
|
Moonstorm |
hi. does anybody know what contributions have been made by http://www.nexpresslibrary.org/ ? I understand they did some heavy development on koha for thier own use |
| 20:38 |
|
owen |
Moonstorm: I'm not sure of the details, but I didn't think it was "heavy" |
| 20:38 |
|
atz |
Moonstorm: a lot of it is still in progress, i think |
| 20:38 |
|
owen |
okay, atz, am I wrong? |
| 20:39 |
|
atz |
i'd have to check our project DB |
| 20:39 |
|
atz |
or maybe I'm confusing with some of the other KS consortia we support now... |
| 20:40 |
|
owen |
Yeah, atz doesn't even know how many houses he has |
| 20:40 |
|
Moonstorm |
er, wrong library. |
| 20:41 |
|
Moonstorm |
http://www.ckls.org/ - I was thinking of this one. I understand they hired a programming group out of Oregon to make some changes |
| 20:41 |
|
chris |
yeah looking at the git log, i dont see any patches |
| 20:41 |
|
chris |
ditto for ckls :) |
| 20:42 |
|
chris |
i see a couple from howard county tho |
| 20:42 |
|
chris |
morning all :) |
| 20:42 |
|
pianohacker |
Good morning |
| 20:42 |
|
Moonstorm |
hrm. any from Oregon? |
| 20:43 |
|
atz |
http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gi[…]?p=Koha;a=summary |
| 20:43 |
|
atz |
all regular stuff in the main repo |
| 20:44 |
|
acmoore |
I guess it's possible they made a bunch of local modifications and didn't submit them. |
| 20:45 |
|
Moonstorm |
ok. i'll poke around and see. i'm curious |
| 20:47 |
|
Moonstorm |
so, is this channel a users or a developer channel? |
| 20:47 |
|
acmoore |
a little of both. |
| 20:48 |
|
acmoore |
mainly developers, though, it seems. Some libraries have folks that drop in, especially when they're getting started. |
| 20:49 |
|
atz |
yeah, they want to do big things |
| 20:50 |
|
atz |
very cool library system |
| 20:52 |
|
chris |
*nod* |
| 20:52 |
|
chris |
ohh long weekend for you guys eh |
| 20:53 |
|
pianohacker |
I wonder how we're going to implement fast patron search for libraries that have as many borrowers as mine has bibs (~15000) |
| 20:54 |
|
pianohacker |
Hopefully we can avoid Zebra and its endless indexing pain |
| 20:55 |
|
chris |
yeah i think we could do that in sql |
| 20:55 |
|
chris |
its fairly structured data, and much less mad than marc ;) |
| 20:56 |
|
Moonstorm |
gramps-project has some type of database lookup that is amazingly fast. they do genealogy |
| 20:56 |
|
chris |
yeah its a pretty known problem and not jsut restricted to the library world (like marc searching) so lots of ideas we can use :) |
| 20:57 |
|
Moonstorm |
they don't use sql |
| 20:58 |
|
chris |
we have a db of about 600k users at work |
| 20:58 |
|
chris |
postgres works fine handling it |
| 20:58 |
|
pianohacker |
chris: How about MySQL? I think that port is very stalled right now |
| 20:58 |
|
chris |
there is also the entire nz electoral roll, which is on a postgres cluster |
| 20:59 |
|
chris |
pianohacker: cant see why not, we just use postgres more at work |
| 20:59 |
|
pianohacker |
ah |
| 20:59 |
|
pianohacker |
You managed to figure out the authentication side of postgres, that's fairly impressive |
| 21:01 |
|
chris |
ahh, we have a couple of pg developers on staff .. that helps :) |
| 21:01 |
|
chris |
ok, im on kid duty, and he has finished breakfast .. might cya later:) good weekend all |
| 21:02 |
|
pianohacker |
cya |

Ahmuck |
how does one register a nick here? |
| 21:21 |
|
acmoore |
from what I can gather, it is not done. |
| 21:27 |
|
Ahmuck |
ah. works for me |
| 21:27 |
|
Ahmuck |
a level of trust i suppose |
| 21:29 |
|
rhcl |
Interestingly enough, you can register a nick on kohanews. |
| 21:29 |
|
pianohacker |
rhcl: That's on freenode |
| 21:29 |
|
rhcl |
Yea. Diff server. |
| 21:29 |
|
pianohacker |

|
nicomo |

|
mason |
heya nicomo |
| 08:31 |
|
nicomo |
hi mason |
| 08:31 |
|
nicomo |
was away 5 days in morocco for 2 koha workshops |
| 08:31 |
|
chris |
ohhh cool |
| 08:31 |
|
nicomo |
it's nice to see Koha implemented in developping countries |
| 08:31 |
|
chris |
did that go well? |
| 08:31 |
|
mason |
niiiice |
| 08:32 |
|
chris |
yep sure is |
| 08:32 |
|
nicomo |
yes, I think it went down well and they'll go into production with it |
| 08:32 |
|
nicomo |
probably in a couple of months |
| 08:32 |
|
chris |
my friend chris (another one) is off to the cook islands next week, to upgrade their national library to koha 3 |
| 08:33 |
|
nicomo |
cool too: I'd love to do that workshop too, but it's a bit too far from France, I guesss :-) |
| 08:33 |
|
chris |
hehe yes |
| 08:33 |
|
chris |
there is quite a lot of interest in the pacific .. im hoping mason gets some work out of it :-) |
| 08:33 |
|
nicomo |
indeed |
| 08:33 |
|
mason |
work the Nouvelle-Calédonie angel ;) |
| 08:34 |
|
mason |
angle |
| 08:34 |
|
chris |
ahh paul has already been there, if i remember right |
| 08:34 |
|
nicomo |
yes he has |
| 08:34 |
|
nicomo |
afair |
| 08:34 |
|
nicomo |
he hated it |
| 08:34 |
|
mason |
pack the scuba |
| 08:34 |
|
nicomo |
24h travel |
| 08:34 |
|
nicomo |
and it mostly rained |
| 08:34 |
|
chris |
heh |
| 08:34 |
|
paul |
hello world |
| 08:35 |
|
nicomo |
but I'd certainly would pack the scuba if taht was me going over there |
| 08:35 |
|
nicomo |
hi paul |
| 08:35 |
|
chris |
yes, i remember the travel when russel and I came to france .. its a long way :-) |
| 08:35 |
|
chris |
hi paul |
| 08:37 |
|
chris |
mason: regitered here http://softwarefreedomday.org.nz/ |
| 08:37 |
|
chris |
? |
| 08:37 |
|
mason |
oooh, thx |
| 08:38 |
|
mason |
done |
| 08:39 |
|
mason |
ooh, brought to us by cafenet |
| 08:41 |
|
chris |
pizza and beer from catalyst :) |
| 08:44 |
|
mason |
very exciting event, a 1st for me |
| 08:45 |
|
chris |
yeah should be fun |
| 08:46 |
|
mason |
hey, while yall about |
| 08:47 |
|
mason |
ive been thinking about a nice idea for the web-installer... |
| 08:48 |
|
mason |
that might take a bit of addintional setup, but would be useful to the project in general |
| 08:49 |
|
chris |
whats the idea? |
| 08:49 |
|
mason |
the idea is an option in the web-installer that send a koha-registration form back to a server somewhere |
| 08:50 |
|
mason |
and we start geting some usage stats |
| 08:50 |
|
paul |
I think this option should be in koha itself too. Because someone installing just for testing may not want to answer during tests. |
| 08:50 |
|
chris |
*nod* |
| 08:51 |
|
mason |
with other important stats on OS usage, locations etc... |
| 08:51 |
|
chris |
i like that idea |
| 08:51 |
|
paul |
then, when going to production, he may want to answer |
| 08:51 |
|
chris |
as part of the about section |
| 08:51 |
|
mason |
yes, good idea |
| 08:52 |
|
chris |
it could use the info thats already there, to populate most of it |
| 08:52 |
|
mason |
yep |
| 08:52 |
|
mason |
IP, host.domain etc |
| 08:52 |
|
mason |
theres some location info right there.... |
| 08:53 |
|
chris |
yep |
| 08:53 |
|
chris |
plus we have all the stats about os, versions of software |
| 08:53 |
|
mason |
would be good , for people trying to start local usergroups |
| 08:53 |
|
mason |
sure |
| 08:54 |
|
mason |
that info alone would be veery useful |
| 08:54 |
|
chris |
as long as its totally voluntary, i think its a great idea |
| 08:55 |
|
mason |
yes, agreed |
| 08:57 |
|
nicomo |
++ for all of the above: it's often asked about by libraries looking at Koha |
| 08:58 |
|
mason |
we could even get (with admins permission, of course) stats on cpu/ram/disk info |
| 08:58 |
|
mason |
and bib and item totals |
| 08:59 |
|
chris |
the bib and item totals would be very interesting |
| 09:01 |
|
mason |
an idea that will get discussed a bit before it happens... while we agree on the best method |
| 09:02 |
|
chris |
yep |
| 09:02 |
|
mason |
but i think most will agree it could be work the small amount of effort |
| 09:04 |
|
chris |
yep |
| 09:04 |
|
mason |
as nic says: libraries interested in koha *always* ask about usage/deployment stats |
| 09:05 |
|
chris |
yep, they sure do |
| 09:05 |
|
mason |
and we always say "umm, lots more than we know of" |
| 09:10 |
|
chris |
yeah, i find new ones on google everytime i look |
