hi guys am helping to configure koha for my schoool library .. am head deep in the reading the doc.. but am having problems with AmazonAssocTag part |
| 01:25 |
|
chris |
ahh which version of koha bigbrovar? |
| 01:25 |
|
chris |
amazon recently changed their TOS so the amazon stuff has recently changed |
| 01:27 |
|
chris |
http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gi[…]bebf3e05a08830235 |
| 01:27 |
|
chris |
on master |
| 01:43 |
|
bigbrovar |
thanks chris |
| 01:43 |
|
bigbrovar |
am using koha 3.o |
| 01:43 |
|
bigbrovar |
3.0* |
| 01:44 |
|
bigbrovar |
and yeah the amazon secret access key |
| 01:44 |
|
bigbrovar |
and i have added the key to koha |
| 01:46 |
|
chris |
yep, im not sure that 3.0.x has that patch |
| 01:46 |
|
bigbrovar |
hmm |
| 01:46 |
|
chris |
ie, that its doing what the new amazon TOS says it needs (they only started enforcing it this month) |
| 01:47 |
|
bigbrovar |
what is the latest stable version of koha |
| 01:47 |
|
chris |
3.0.3 .. 3.0.4 is due in the next week or so |
| 01:47 |
|
bigbrovar |
oh ok |
| 01:47 |
|
bigbrovar |
hmm |
| 01:47 |
|
chris |
and 3.2.0 not too much longer than that |
| 01:47 |
|
chris |
(i just cant see that code change in the 3.0.x codebase yet) |
| 01:48 |
|
bigbrovar |
am really very new to koha how easy is it to upgrade from one instance to another |
| 01:48 |
|
bigbrovar |
like one version to another |
| 01:48 |
|
chris |
http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gi[…]9fcd0d726c0191bad |
| 01:49 |
|
chris |
how did you install, from a tarball or from git? |
| 01:49 |
|
bigbrovar |
tarball |
| 01:50 |
|
chris |
when 3.0.4 comes out you can download that, then you run |
| 01:50 |
|
bigbrovar |
u think it would come with the patch? |
| 01:50 |
|
chris |
perl Makefile.PL --prev-install-log /path/to/koha-install-log |
| 01:51 |
|
chris |
yes it will, ill make sure it does ... otherwise amazon won't work :) |
| 01:51 |
|
bigbrovar |
maybe i should just wait for the 3.2.0 |
| 01:51 |
|
|
pianohackr|work is now known as pianohacker |
| 01:51 |
|
chris |
3.2.0 has a LOT of new features |
| 01:51 |
|
chris |
so might be worth waiting for |
| 01:51 |
|
bigbrovar |
because am still configuring koha now |
| 01:51 |
|
bigbrovar |
it has not been deployed |
| 01:51 |
|
chris |
right, might be best to wait then |
| 01:51 |
|
pianohacker |
The sysprefs editor, for one, will be much nicer :) |
| 01:52 |
|
chris |
hehe yes it will :) |
| 01:52 |
|
bigbrovar |
so i might was well wait |
| 01:52 |
|
bigbrovar |
as* |
| 01:52 |
|
chris |
sounds like a plan |
| 01:52 |
|
bigbrovar |
if i might add which distro do u run koha on? |
| 01:53 |
|
pianohacker |
debian's the preferred one |
| 01:53 |
|
pianohacker |
What are you using? |
| 01:53 |
|
bigbrovar |
version? |
| 01:53 |
|
bigbrovar |
ubuntu lts |
| 01:53 |
|
chris |
lenny for production |
| 01:53 |
|
bigbrovar |
8.04 |
| 01:53 |
|
pianohacker |
Ah. I've had success installing on ubuntu as well |
| 01:53 |
|
bigbrovar |
oh u run it on lenny? |
| 01:53 |
|
bigbrovar |
hmm |
| 01:54 |
|
chris |
lenny has most of the perl modules as .debs |
| 01:54 |
|
pianohacker |
(I run on Arch Linux for my production servers, but I'm weird) |
| 01:54 |
|
bigbrovar |
hehehe |
| 01:54 |
|
chris |
i think only one or 2 have have be CPAN'd on |
| 01:54 |
|
bigbrovar |
pianohacker: arch is great |
| 01:55 |
|
bigbrovar |
hmm |
| 01:55 |
|
bigbrovar |
i have a lenny disc |
| 01:55 |
|
bigbrovar |
but i have not tried debian before (yeah i know) |
| 01:55 |
|
pianohacker |
Yup. I can barely stand dpkg after dealing with pacman |
| 01:55 |
|
bigbrovar |
am a still a noobie at this whole linux shit |
| 01:55 |
|
pianohacker |
But having things available as .debs makes life so much easier |
| 01:56 |
|
pianohacker |
You're doing much better than some others that have passed through this channel, trust us |
| 01:56 |
|
bigbrovar |
pianohacker: what i love the most about arch is the one config file rule them all philosophy |
| 01:56 |
|
pianohacker |
bigbrovar: Yup, another advantage |
| 01:57 |
|
pianohacker |
exim configuration on ubuntu, for one = slow, painful method of suicide |
| 01:57 |
|
bigbrovar |
yep |
| 01:57 |
|
chris |
postfix ftw :) |
| 01:57 |
|
bigbrovar |
hehe |
| 01:57 |
|
pianohacker |
postfix++ |
| 01:58 |
|
bigbrovar |
hmm so what do u guys feel .. if am going to reinstall koha which distro is best = easier ubuntu or debian lenny |
| 01:59 |
|
pianohacker |
You could probably do well either way, but debian is a little better supported |
| 02:00 |
|
bigbrovar |
hmm debian it would be then .. can u link me with a good guide on how to install koha on lenny |
| 02:00 |
|
pianohacker |
I think there's one in the tarball |
| 02:01 |
|
bigbrovar |
never installed debian before so am a lil nervous but i run arch so it cant be that hard (not that arch was hard but u get the point) |
| 02:01 |
|
bigbrovar |
oh ok |
| 02:01 |
|
chris |
INSTALL.debian-lenny |
| 02:01 |
|
bigbrovar |
great then |
| 02:01 |
|
chris |
ubuntu is just debian really |
| 02:02 |
|
bigbrovar |
cool i have the cd .. so 3.2 would be a major release |
| 02:02 |
|
pianohacker |
Yes |
| 02:02 |
|
chris |
lots of neat new stuff |
| 02:03 |
|
bigbrovar |
hate to sound like a bug but now am salivating .. when do u think it would be released? |
| 02:04 |
|
chris |
there will be a beta release next month |
| 02:04 |
|
chris |
and a full release in october (Thats the plan anyway) |
| 02:05 |
|
bigbrovar |
great |
| 02:05 |
|
bigbrovar |
main while i can get familiar with koha using the 3.0 installation i have |
| 02:05 |
|
pianohacker |
Yup |
| 02:06 |
|
chris |
if you are interested there is a developers meeting coming up next week |
| 02:06 |
|
bigbrovar |
oh cool when and were here? |
| 02:06 |
|
pianohacker |
http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?[…]etingnotes09sep02 |
| 02:06 |
|
pianohacker |
Here, yes |
| 02:07 |
|
chris |
ahh beat me :) |
| 02:07 |
|
bigbrovar |
great |
| 02:07 |
|
pianohacker |
That's what munin needs, is a wiki search |
| 02:07 |
|
chris |
oh that would be great pianohacker |
| 02:08 |
|
bigbrovar |
although i will be more of a non listener than anything |
| 02:08 |
|
pianohacker |
That's part of what they're for |
| 02:08 |
|
chris |
yep |
| 02:08 |
|
pianohacker |
Worst comes to worst, there'll be a transcript posted after the meeting |
| 02:08 |
|
bigbrovar |
i meant more of a listener than anything |
| 02:09 |
|
bigbrovar |
guys do u work in the library or you are just admins /devs or all of the above |
| 02:09 |
|
pianohacker |
I work in a library as a sysadmin, and do some dev work |
| 02:09 |
|
pianohacker |
Your basic Koha nerd |
| 02:10 |
|
bigbrovar |
hehehe |
| 02:10 |
|
bigbrovar |
am just a noobie sysad still cutting his teeth in the trade |
| 02:10 |
|
bigbrovar |
know next to nothing about libraries .. |
| 02:11 |
|
* chris |
works for www.catalyst.net.nz |
| 02:11 |
|
bigbrovar |
but felt we needed a library system so i googled and koha came up |
| 02:11 |
|
bigbrovar |
so here i am |
| 02:11 |
|
pianohacker |
That's how my library found Koha, proud tradition |
| 02:11 |
|
* chris |
is translation manager for koha, and is busy updating .po files |
| 02:12 |
|
bigbrovar |
wow u guys are doing an awesome job btw |
| 02:13 |
|
bigbrovar |
in case i want to host koha instance its same as a general like wordpress instance right |
| 02:13 |
|
bigbrovar |
or is there a special way to host it |
| 02:13 |
|
pianohacker |
Kind of. It's Perl instead of PHP |
| 02:13 |
|
bigbrovar |
which host would u recommend for koha |
| 02:14 |
|
pianohacker |
Oh, I see. Hosting with a general webhost is kind of difficult with Koha, due to the Perl module requirements |
| 02:14 |
|
chris |
well it needs a bunch of perl modules |
| 02:14 |
|
chris |
yeah what pianohacker said :) |
| 02:14 |
|
pianohacker |
hehe |
| 02:14 |
|
bigbrovar |
hmm |
| 02:14 |
|
chris |
so one that will either let you install those, or will install them for you |
| 02:15 |
|
bigbrovar |
would have to google more on that |
| 02:15 |
|
chris |
those perl modules depend on yaz too |
| 02:15 |
|
chris |
id recommend a vps |
| 02:15 |
|
pianohacker |
One possibility would be a virtual private server (like Amazon S3 or RackSpace Cloud) |
| 02:15 |
|
chris |
over just your plain host |
| 02:15 |
|
bigbrovar |
just get more interesting :) |
| 02:15 |
|
pianohacker |
dangit |
| 02:15 |
|
bigbrovar |
hmm |
| 02:15 |
|
chris |
http://www.linode.com/ is a good option too |
| 02:16 |
|
pianohacker |
yup |
| 02:16 |
|
pianohacker |
There's also zebra |
| 02:16 |
|
chris |
hmm southerly has just hit |
| 02:16 |
|
* chris |
gets the dogs in |
| 02:16 |
|
pianohacker |
Have you heard about zebra? Installing it is just oodles of fun |
| 02:16 |
|
bigbrovar |
were i install say a debian/ubuntu instance in the cloud and run koha from there right? |
| 02:16 |
|
pianohacker |
exactly |
| 02:17 |
|
bigbrovar |
wow i hope that wont be too expensive for a small school like ours :) |
| 02:18 |
|
pianohacker |
If you don't need people from outside the school to be able to see your OPAC, you could just host it yourself |
| 02:18 |
|
chris |
*nod* |
| 02:18 |
|
bigbrovar |
yeah that is the plan |
| 02:24 |
|
bigbrovar |
thanks guys |
| 02:24 |
|
bigbrovar |
hope to be at the meeting for 2 sept |
| 02:24 |
|
pianohacker |
Cool. Good luck |
| 02:26 |
|

chris |
ohh nigeria very cool :) |
| 02:31 |
|
bigbrovar |
yeah but its not what u think :) |
| 02:34 |
|
chris |
I dont know of any other Koha libraries in Nigeria |
| 02:34 |
|
chris |
there are quite a few in Kenya |
| 02:34 |
|
chris |
http://kohakenya.wordpress.com/ |
| 02:34 |
|
bigbrovar |
well Nigeria is a MS country :( |
| 02:35 |
|
bigbrovar |
we are the only school based on foss |
| 02:35 |
|
bigbrovar |
like all our computers run ubuntu |
| 02:35 |
|
bigbrovar |
including lab pc and laptop we give to students |
| 02:36 |
|
chris |
good for you guys :) |
| 02:36 |
|
bigbrovar |
and as usual the MS guys came and offered to throw 200 free* vista licenses at us |
| 02:36 |
|
chris |
yeah, thats their usual trick |
| 02:36 |
|
chris |
they are like drug dealers .. the first one is free, then you are hooked |
| 02:37 |
|
bigbrovar |
was glad to show them our computer labs happily running linux |
| 02:37 |
|
chris |
hehe |
| 02:37 |
|
bigbrovar |
and told them when / if we need them i would give am a call |
| 02:37 |
|
bigbrovar |
i was really polite though |
| 02:37 |
|
chris |
*nod* |
| 02:38 |
|
bigbrovar |
there came with their suits and wimo smart phones .. and asked why we use FOSS in the first place |
| 02:38 |
|
bigbrovar |
because there have even better products |
| 02:38 |
|
bigbrovar |
all we had to do was to sign a lil agreemement |
| 02:39 |
|
bigbrovar |
and we get tons of free* MS goodies |
| 02:39 |
|
bigbrovar |
hehe |
| 02:39 |
|
chris |
hehe |
| 02:41 |
|
bigbrovar |
its going to be hard for FOSS to take hold here |
| 02:41 |
|
bigbrovar |
MS has an iron grip on things |
| 02:42 |
|
bigbrovar |
but i hope i can help change that |
| 02:42 |
|
bigbrovar |
at least let people know there is an alternative |
| 02:42 |
|
chris |
at least the kids at your school will be being exposed to something else |
| 02:42 |
|
chris |
so thats a good start |
| 02:43 |
|
bigbrovar |
well its a uni |
| 02:43 |
|
bigbrovar |

chris: do u work in a school too |
| 02:45 |
|
chris |
nope, i work for a company who specialise in FLOSS |
| 02:46 |
|
bigbrovar |
wow what area of FLOSS |
| 02:46 |
|
chris |
http://www.catalyst.net.nz/ |
| 02:46 |
|
chris |
thats who i work for |
| 02:47 |
|
bigbrovar |
thinking of starting one here too .. but it would be hard |
| 02:47 |
|
chris |
catalyst does a lot of moodle and drupal work .. amongst lots of others |
| 02:47 |
|
bigbrovar |
but its one thing i have in mind |
| 02:47 |
|
chris |
very cool |
| 02:47 |
|
bigbrovar |
oh ok |
| 02:47 |
|
bigbrovar |
we will be moving to moodle too |
| 02:47 |
|
chris |
have you seen mahara? |
| 02:48 |
|
chris |
http://mahara.org/ |
| 02:48 |
|
bigbrovar |
and our website run on drupal (although we are movign it to plone) |
| 02:48 |
|
chris |
it works well with moodle |
| 02:48 |
|
bigbrovar |
wow |
| 02:48 |
|
chris |
we are working on getting single sign on with moodle + mahara + koha |
| 02:49 |
|
bigbrovar |
ddamn that would be hot |
| 02:50 |
|
chris |
all we need is a good student management system |
| 02:51 |
|
bigbrovar |
hmm tot moodle was no ? |
| 02:51 |
|
chris |
thats a good course management and delivery system |
| 02:52 |
|
bigbrovar |
true |
| 02:52 |
|
chris |
but more one for tracking who has paid fees, etc |
| 02:52 |
|
chris |
with something like that, there would be everything a school/university needs |
| 02:53 |
|
bigbrovar |
yeah u right just what we need too |
| 02:53 |
|
bigbrovar |
have u tried https://eduforge.org/ lots of resources there |

hopefully everyone is out having a good weekend. |
| 20:06 |
|
sekjal |
but for those who are in chat, I've got a bit of an urgent problem I could use help with |
| 20:14 |
|
chris |
sup sekjal? |
| 20:16 |
|
sekjal |
trying to run my circulation state capture program |
| 20:17 |
|
chris |
right |
| 20:17 |
|
sekjal |
It should take in the patron's barcode, perform GetMemberDetails(0, $barcode), and then pass that value to AddIssue() |
| 20:17 |
|
chris |
k |
| 20:17 |
|
sekjal |
the return value of GetMemberDetails I'm calling $borrower |
| 20:18 |
|
sekjal |
and I'm calling AddIssue($borrower, $itembarcode, $duedate, 0, $checkoutdate) |
| 20:19 |
|
sekjal |
whoever, when I do that, I get a compilation error saying: |
| 20:19 |
|
sekjal |
"Can't use an undefined value as a HASH reference at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Circulation.om line 1007 |
| 20:19 |
|
sekjal |
line 1007 reads: |
| 20:20 |
|
sekjal |
$borrower->{'borrowernumber'} |
| 20:20 |
|
sekjal |
where $borrower should be lining up with what I fed the subroutine |
| 20:21 |
|
chris |
right, it sounds like GetMemberDetails is failing |
| 20:22 |
|
chris |
ie $borrower is undefined |
| 20:22 |
|
chris |
what barcode are you passing in the first time? |
| 20:22 |
|
chris |
and if you run |
| 20:23 |
|
chris |
select borrowers.*,category_type,categories.description from borrowers left join categories on borrowers.categorycode=categories.categorycode where cardnumber=your_barcode; |
| 20:23 |
|
chris |
in the db, does it return a result? |
| 20:25 |
|
sekjal |
empty set |
| 20:25 |
|
sekjal |
so, I never got that barcode in the system.... |
| 20:26 |
|
chris |
yep |
| 20:26 |
|
chris |
that looks like the problem |
| 20:26 |
|
chris |
in order to handle that |
| 20:26 |
|
chris |
I would do |
| 20:26 |
|
chris |
if ($borrower) { |
| 20:26 |
|
chris |
do your stuff |
| 20:26 |
|
chris |
} else { |
| 20:27 |
|
chris |
warn "Borrwer with barcode $barcode does not exist"; |
| 20:27 |
|
chris |
} |
| 20:27 |
|
chris |
or print it, so you have a list of barcodes taht failed |
| 20:27 |
|
chris |
wow typing fail today |
| 20:27 |
|
sekjal |
alright. looking at that particular barcode, it is oddly short.... I should look it up in the old ILS |
| 20:31 |
|
sekjal |
hmmmm, apparently that particular barcode no longer exists |
| 20:31 |
|
sekjal |
yet it was just extracted from the system |
| 20:31 |
|
sekjal |
so.... |
| 20:31 |
|
sekjal |
::confused:: |
| 20:33 |
|
chris |
yeah that is weird |
| 20:33 |
|
sekjal |
still won't compile, even with the if/then statement |
| 20:34 |
|
chris |
whats the error its giving you now? |
| 20:34 |
|
sekjal |
the same |
| 20:34 |
|
sekjal |
can't use an undefined value as a HASH reference |
| 20:35 |
|
sekjal |
same line of Circulation.pm |
| 20:35 |
|
chris |
if its undefined that if should fail, and that line should never get called |
| 20:35 |
|
chris |
can you pastebin the snippet of code please? |

ahh you cant use if (defined |
| 20:39 |
|
chris |
cos my $borrower; |
| 20:39 |

chris |
defines it |
| 20:39 |

try just |
| 20:39 |
|
chris |
if ($borrower) { |

same error |

you get some good camping in |

okay, adding the second condition got my 'else' statement to print once, then the same error after that |
| 20:43 |
|

weird |
| 20:43 |
|
|Lupin| |
k, good night all |

sekjal what are you working at the moment -- just trying to catch up |
| 20:43 |
|
sekjal |
circ state capture |
| 20:43 |
|
|
|Lupin| left #koha |
| 20:44 |
|
sekjal |
trying to pass my script a file with item barcode, patron barcode, out date, and due date |
| 20:44 |
|
sekjal |
and have the script use AddIssue to checkout the list appropriately |
| 20:44 |
|
chris |
i cant see how that if condition can be true ie $borrower->{'borrowernumber'} is true |
| 20:44 |
|
chris |
and it still fail in AddIssue |
| 20:45 |
|
sekjal |
unfortunately, I'm having some trouble turning my patron barcode into a patron object |
| 20:45 |
|
sekjal |
yeah, it just doesn't jive |
| 20:45 |
|
sekjal |
I'll admit I'm pretty new to Perl, but I'm an old hat at logic |
| 20:45 |
|
chris |
yeah :) |
| 20:46 |
|
chris |
what i would try is before the AddIssue call |
| 20:46 |
|
chris |
use Data::Dumper; |
| 20:46 |
|
chris |
warn Dumper $borrower; |
| 20:46 |
|
chris |
that will dump the $borrower variable and we can see what is actually in it |
| 20:46 |
|
chris |
we could then do the same in AddIssue |
| 20:46 |
|
brendan |
one thing that I got hung on before -- was that the patronnumber and the kohapatronnumber never matched for me before |
| 20:47 |
|
chris |
brendan: it's using barcode |
| 20:47 |
|
brendan |
right |
| 20:47 |
|
brendan |
so no need to worry about that |
| 20:47 |
|
chris |
to find the koha borrower, .. but for some reason weirdness is happening |
| 20:47 |
|
sekjal |
I tried to preserve patron number on import.... no dice |
| 20:48 |
|
brendan |
does your system have the problem with multiple barcode numbers per patron |
| 20:48 |
|
brendan |
I think you said you got deleted that before your import |
| 20:49 |
|
sekjal |
Stuart did some kind of fancy footwork to delete extra barcodes, leaving only the most recent |
| 20:49 |
|
brendan |
right |
| 20:49 |
|
sekjal |
however, for some reason, we are only importing a small subset of all the existing patrons |
| 20:49 |
|
sekjal |
supposedly, all the active patrons should be migrated over |
| 20:50 |
|
sekjal |
for a complex definition of 'active' |
| 20:51 |
|
chris |
my ( $charge, $itemtype ) = GetIssuingCharges( |
| 20:51 |
|
chris |
$item->{'itemnumber'}, |
| 20:51 |
|
chris |
$borrower->{'borrowernumber'} |
| 20:51 |
|
chris |
); |
| 20:51 |
|
chris |
is the bit failing in C4::Circulation eh? |
| 20:52 |
|
chris |
cos that is all one line as far as perl is concerned |
| 20:52 |
|
sekjal |
its failing in: |
| 20:52 |
|
sekjal |
$sth->execute( |
| 20:52 |
|
chris |
ahh ha |
| 20:52 |
|
chris |
one line again |
| 20:52 |
|
sekjal |
$borrower->{'borrowernumber'} |
| 20:52 |
|
sekjal |
specifically |
| 20:52 |
|
chris |
i now suspect $item->{'itemnumber'} |
| 20:53 |
|
chris |
thats part of the same line |
| 20:53 |
|
chris |
$sth->execute( |
| 20:53 |
|
chris |
$borrower->{'borrowernumber'}, # borrowernumber |
| 20:53 |
|
chris |
$item->{'itemnumber'}, # itemnumber |
| 20:53 |
|
chris |
$issuedate, # issuedate |
| 20:53 |
|
chris |
$datedue->output('iso'), # date_due |
| 20:53 |
|
chris |
C4::Context->userenv->{'branch'} # branchcode |
| 20:53 |
|
chris |
); |
| 20:53 |
|
chris |
eh? |
| 20:53 |
|
sekjal |
yes, there |
| 20:53 |
|
chris |
thats all one statement, so we know $borrower->{'borrowernumber'} is true |
| 20:53 |
|
chris |
so i bet $item->{'itemnumber'} isnt |
| 20:54 |
|
chris |
but we can check that |
| 20:54 |
|
chris |
by dumping those 2 just before that execute |
| 20:54 |
|
chris |
use Data::Dumper; |
| 20:54 |
|
chris |
warn Dumper $borrower; |
| 20:54 |
|
chris |
warn Dumper $item; |
| 20:55 |
|
chris |
that will at least confirm what we actually have at that point |
| 20:56 |
|
sekjal |
add those lines to Circulation.pm? |
| 20:57 |
|
chris |
yes please |
| 20:57 |
|
chris |
just before the execute statement |
| 20:58 |
|
sekjal |
nothing different on the terminal |
| 20:58 |
|
sekjal |
did this data dump somewhere else? |
| 20:58 |
|
chris |
you could change the warns to prints |
| 20:59 |
|
sekjal |
ah. sorry, I was using the wrong copy of Circulation.pm |
| 20:59 |
|
sekjal |
argh |
| 20:59 |
|
chris |
ahh that would do it ;) |
| 21:00 |
|

that did something |
| 21:01 |
|

cool want to pastebin it? |

C4::Context->userenv->{'branch'} is my final suspect then |
| 21:06 |
|
chris |
that is set $self->{"userenv"} = undef; |
| 21:07 |
|
sekjal |
hmmm, that seems likely |
| 21:07 |
|
sekjal |
how can I define the branch from my script? |
| 21:08 |
|
chris |
ahh yeah i see what it does, it gets taht from the active user (ie the logged in one) |
| 21:08 |
|
chris |
that doesnt exist in this case |
| 21:08 |
|
chris |
try |
| 21:09 |
|
chris |
hmm |
| 21:09 |
|
chris |
set_userenv |
| 21:10 |
|
chris |
C4::Context->set_userenv($usernum, $userid, $usercnum, $userfirstname, $usersurname, $userbranch, $userflags, $emailaddress); |
| 21:10 |
|
chris |
in your script somewhere near the top |
| 21:11 |
|
sekjal |
do those values need to be consistant with an existing user? |
| 21:11 |
|
chris |
$userbranch is one you really need |
| 21:11 |
|
chris |
lemme check the code |
| 21:11 |
|
chris |
no |
| 21:11 |
|
chris |
it just populates a hash |
| 21:11 |
|
sekjal |
k, I'll try it |
| 21:12 |
|
chris |
they are inserted into the statistics table |
| 21:12 |
|
chris |
so a migration user might be good |
| 21:12 |
|
chris |
actually no that is only the branch too, yeah branch seems to be the one you really need |
| 21:15 |
|
sekjal |
still won't work for me |
| 21:16 |
|
chris |
damnit |
| 21:16 |
|
chris |
still the same error? |
| 21:16 |
|
sekjal |
yes |
| 21:16 |
|
chris |
ok, where your dumper statements are |
| 21:16 |
|
chris |
can you put |
| 21:17 |
|
chris |
warn C4::Context->userenv->{'branch'}; |
| 21:17 |
|
chris |
it should dump out the value you set it to in your script |
| 21:18 |
|
sekjal |
same error, but now on line 1006.... which is the line of the statement I just inserted |
| 21:18 |
|
sekjal |
so I think we found the problem |
| 21:18 |
|
chris |
*nod* |
| 21:18 |
|
chris |
so userenv is still blank |
| 21:19 |
|
chris |
so it looks like our set didnt work |
| 21:19 |
|
chris |
can you paste that line in? |
| 21:20 |
|
chris |
ah i see the problem |
| 21:20 |
|
sekjal |
C4::Context->set_userenv(1, 'sekjal', 1, 'migration', 'fake', 'MED', 0, 'Ian.Walls med.nyu.edu'); |
| 21:21 |
|
chris |
ah ha |
| 21:23 |
|
chris |
add this before that line |
| 21:23 |
|
chris |
C4::Context->_new_userenv(123456); |
| 21:24 |
|
chris |
so we make a new userenv (thats our session id) |
| 21:24 |
|
chris |
and then populate it |
| 21:24 |
|
chris |
hopefully that was the missing piece |
| 21:24 |
|
sekjal |
it certainly was one |
| 21:24 |
|
sekjal |
I'm getting something.... |
| 21:24 |
|
chris |
C4::Auth does all this when a user logs .. (course we are not doing that) |
| 21:25 |
|
chris |
logs in ever |
| 21:25 |
|
chris |
even |
| 21:25 |
|
chris |
sheesh |
| 21:25 |
|
sekjal |
unfortunately, most of it is FOREIGN KEY violations |
| 21:25 |
|
chris |
:( |
| 21:25 |
|
chris |
those at least should be less opaque to solve |
| 21:25 |
|
sekjal |
that seems like it could be solved by picking a better branch code |
| 21:27 |
|
sekjal |
I REALLY wish I could pick this up tomorrow.... |
| 21:28 |
|
chris |
ah yeah, pick a branch code that is in the branches table |
| 21:29 |

wonders how sekjal is doing |
| 23:07 |
|
sekjal |
chris: looks like the circ state is working okay; I just need to figure out why certain barcodes are bad |
| 23:07 |
|
sekjal |
in-house use seems to be okay, though it won't show up on the default report when run (but its in there) |
| 23:08 |
|
sekjal |
and it looks like all but 2 of 11616 patrons imported |
| 23:08 |
|
chris |
nice |
| 23:09 |
|
chris |
thats a pretty good success rate |
| 23:09 |
|
sekjal |
and the barcode failure are only 44/764 |
| 23:10 |
|
sekjal |
I think I can improve that if I don't pre-select which barcode to use; just try them all, and only complain if none take |
| 23:10 |
|
chris |
right |
| 23:11 |
|
sekjal |
I've got an hour before the train, so that leaves me some 45 minutes to see if I can figure it out on my test machine |
