00:00 thd put this line before the If statement my $searchfortitlein = C4::Context->preference("OPACSearchForTitleIn");
00:01 pianohacker left #koha
00:02 thd or actually if we are really concerned about an undefined variable then you could have my $searchfortitlein = '';
00:02 thd $searchfortitlein = C4::Context->preference("OPACSearchForTitleIn");
00:02 pianohacker joined #koha
00:03 thd If ($searchfortitlein) {
00:04 thd nengard before the If expression you should try printing the value of $searchfortitlein
00:05 thd nengard: you could even extract a portion of the script and run it on the command line so that messages print to the console
00:05 nengard hmmmm
00:06 thd you would need to export the Koha environment variables first
00:06 nengard yep, too much for tonight - i'm going relax and come back to it tomorrow AM - but thank you for helping me!! :)
00:07 thd your welcome nengard
00:07 thd good night
00:07 pianohacker nengard: From what I've read of this conversation in the log, are you sure it wouldn't be easier just to use warn and check your error log?
00:07 nengard pianohacker warnings are on - and just tell me how to get to the darn log
00:07 pianohacker I usually only resort to tempfiles when I have to dump some huge object
00:08 nengard this is all new to me  -i need to take a class but don't have time or money right now
00:08 pianohacker warn $searchfortitlein;
00:08 thd pianohacker: yes it would but I explained that warn is used by real programmers not me
00:08 pianohacker <shrug>
00:08 thd I like the extra friendly print statements
00:08 pianohacker warn isn't too horrible
00:09 nengard pianohacker - i put that in my code - now how do i view it?
00:09 pianohacker Is this running on your machine?
00:09 nengard yes
00:09 nengard debian
00:09 nengard virtual machine
00:10 pianohacker Ah. The error log is at WHEREVER_YOU_INSTALLED_KOHA/var/log/koha-error_log
00:10 thd warn is fine but is not portable with every language.
00:10 pianohacker No, though with cgi scripts you can get the same effect with print STDERR "HAI THAR"
00:11 nengard pianohacker I don't seem to have a var directory ... which is confusing
00:11 nengard and might be due to the hour
00:11 pianohacker Heh.
00:11 pianohacker I'm assuming you did a dev install, right?
00:11 thd directories turn into pumkins after the witching hour
00:12 pianohacker Of course, what _really_ needs to happen is for someone to port http://www.firephp.org/ to perl
00:12 nengard bingo
00:12 nengard found it
00:12 pianohacker Server-side error messages in Firebug would make debugging so much easier
00:13 nengard okay none of these errors mean a thing to me
00:13 nengard they all seem to be with languages.pm
00:13 pianohacker Ahh, okay
00:13 pianohacker There's a timestamp at the left
00:13 pianohacker Look for messages from today
00:14 nengard hmmm
00:14 nengard nope
00:15 nengard the log stops on the 18th
00:15 nengard I did a search for today and nada
00:15 pianohacker Is the date set correctly, inside your virtual machine?
00:15 nengard then scrolled to the end and it's last entry is for the 18th
00:15 pianohacker You can run $ date
00:15 pianohacker to check
00:15 nengard no clue -but the things I'm seeing on the 18th are not things I did today
00:16 nengard yes date is right
00:16 nengard grrrrrrrrr
00:16 nengard craziness
00:16 thd today was an error free day
00:16 nengard that can't possibly be true :)
00:17 chris_n joined #koha
00:17 nengard okay - that's it - I have to quit for tonight - thank you guys!! I'll try again tomorrow
00:17 nengard need a fresh mind
00:17 thd there are two error logs
00:17 pianohacker Oh, shoot, yes
00:18 thd at least in Koha
00:18 nengard LOL
00:18 pianohacker There's an intranet and OPAC one
00:18 nengard okay I'll try that and then bed
00:18 nengard i need the opac one
00:18 pianohacker Sleep well, see you monday :)

01:23 pianohacker @later tell jwagner Okay. I updated, and tested it. It's now picking up a whole heap of people, now depends on billing notice cleanup

19:26 jwagner hdl_laptop, just in time :-)  Can I get a syspref translation?
19:26 hdl_laptop yes
19:26 hdl_laptop throw
19:26 jwagner If ON, displays the format, audience, type icons in XSLT MARC21 results and display pages.
19:26 cait hi jwagner and hdl
19:27 jwagner Hi, and bonjour to hdl (poor manners to ask favor without greeting, my apologies...)
19:43 chris morning
19:44 jwagner morning, chris
19:44 * chris checks in for a few minutes before going to catch my bus
19:44 chris gmcharlt has been busy, lots of patches pushed
19:46 jwagner Hope it doesn't screw up the one I'm working on. I just updated yesterday!
19:48 chris its unlikely too
19:48 chris unless you edited the same line as someone else did, git copes with pretty much everything else
19:49 chris ok, off to catch my bus
19:49 jwagner Have a good day!
19:54 hdl_laptop jwagner: Si activé, affiche le format, le type de public et les icônes de type en XSLT (MARC21)
19:54 hdl_laptop jwagner: it is ok.
19:54 hdl_laptop sorry. I was watgching pictures with my wife.
19:55 jwagner Merci beaucoup!  I was just about to commit and send a patch without a translation, so I was glad to see you show up.

20:38 chris morning richard
20:39 richard hey chris
20:39 richard from dean: Baby arrived on Saturday at 7:13pm - 7.5lb.  He and Cath are doing well.
20:40 chris ohh thats great news

22:07 gmcharlt hi folks
22:07 jwagner hi gmcharlt
22:13 chris hiya gmcharlt
22:53 jwagner left #koha
23:29 chris gmcharlt: got a sec?
23:31 gmcharlt chris: sure
23:32 chris http://profiles.workbuffer.org/opac-main/
23:32 chris vs
23:32 chris http://profiles.workbuffer.org/opac-main-memoize/
23:32 chris this is using memoize::memcached
23:33 chris for which we can specify ttls
23:33 chris per function
23:33 chris memoize_memcached('getTranslatedLanguages');
23:33 chris in C4::Languages
23:33 chris is a big win
23:33 gmcharlt wouldn't take much
23:34 chris yeah
23:34 gmcharlt what does it look like if you use a plain Memoize
23:34 chris it only gets called once per script
23:34 gmcharlt ah, right
23:34 chris but every page on the opac does it
23:35 chris and it just doesnt change
23:35 gmcharlt is Memoize::memcached smart enough to not croak if you haven't configured a memcached server?
23:35 chris lemme turn mine off and tell ya
23:36 chris http://opac.koha.workbuffer.or[…]-search.pl?q=fish
23:36 chris seems to work fine
23:36 chris with no working memcache server
23:37 gmcharlt what does Apache log look like in that case?
23:38 chris silent
23:38 gmcharlt k, sounds like we have a winner
23:39 gmcharlt where are you configured the pointer to the memcached server? koha-conf.xml?
23:39 chris im undecided, probably there, or it could be a syspref
23:39 gmcharlt I vote for koha-conf.xml
23:39 chris works for me
23:39 chris its not something you want to change on the fly really anyway
23:39 gmcharlt in theory, you could have it vary by app server
23:40 chris i wanna add a namespace conf or syspref too
23:40 gmcharlt was about to ask about namespace
23:40 gmcharlt again, koha-conf.xml
23:40 chris righto
23:41 chris ill tidy it up more, and then i think there will be some time profiling and memoizing the nasty ones
23:41 gmcharlt I'd like to get ahead and get the initial stuff pushed
23:41 chris righto
23:41 gmcharlt i.e., basic support + getTranslated ..
23:42 chris ill get the config and that one
23:42 chris then will send patches, and work on the rest
23:42 chris ill do that tonight
23:44 gmcharlt thx
