13:54 owen Back to work.
13:55 owen nengard: Looks like a few people are actually responding to your "remind" bug statuses
13:56 nengard I know!!
13:56 nengard I love it!!

14:25 nengard owen, i tried to tackle bug 2969 yesterday  -but apparently my js knowledge isn't good enough  -is this an easy fix you can do?
14:25 munin Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=2969 major, P3, ---, gmcharlt@gmail.com, NEW, Report Name should be mandatory for saved reports

14:26 owen nengard: I could see about adding some js validation, but that would only be half a fix I think
14:26 owen There should be server-side logic to back it up
14:28 nengard ah
14:28 nengard okay
14:31 jwagner The SQL field is required -- make the report name the same way?
14:38 Nate joined #koha
14:39 nengard jwagner - yeah that might do it
14:41 owen anyone know why I would be getting this message when trying to place a hold in the staff client? "No copies are available to be placed on hold"
14:41 owen There's definitely one copy available.
14:43 jwagner Obvious first things to check -- are on-shelf holds allowed, does that item type allow holds, etc.
14:44 owen Oh, on-shelf holds! I didn't realize that was turned off by default.
14:46 jdavidb joined #koha
14:47 owen As far as anyone knows, should a single "default" issuing rule work for all patrons at all branches?
14:48 * owen is still being told he has too many holds.
14:48 jwagner owen, you're talking about setting a rule at the top-most level of the circ rules?  Not going into a library first?  I had trouble getting that to work when I tried it, but that was a while back.
14:49 owen Right, I have numbers set for default patron category, default item type, default library
14:49 owen I guess I'll try adding some lines
14:49 jwagner owen, regarding problems placing holds, if this is in OPAC, see Bug 3785
14:49 munin Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3785 critical, PATCH-Sent, ---, chris@bigballofwax.co.nz, ASSIGNED, New Install, no maxreserves setting, OPAC holds fail
14:53 owen Hm, applying that patch doesn't solve my problem (before adding any additional issuing rules)
14:56 owen Can't place a hold even after adding an issuing rule for my patron/branch/itemtype *and* applying that patch
14:59 jwagner If you set an equivalent circ rule under the library, does it work?
15:00 owen Do you mean under "defaults for this library?"
15:00 jwagner In circ rules, instead of at top level, select the appropriate library & create the rule.
15:01 owen Yeah, that's what I meant about adding a rule for my patron/branch/itemtype. I've got a rule for my branch, my patron category, and the itemtype in question.
15:01 jwagner I'm running out of ideas :-(
15:14 owen Hmmm... Bug 2575: A bug in adding patron attribute fields in an unknown version of IE on Vista, not reproduceable on XP in FF3 or IE7?

15:14 owen I think there are limits...
15:14 imp @wunder berlin
15:14 munin imp: Error: No such location could be found.
15:14 imp @wunder berlin germany
15:14 munin imp: Error: No such location could be found.
15:14 jwagner There are limits in the circ rules, but the default is From Any Library (should be, anyway).
15:14 imp oO
15:19 nengard owen - i have that issue to
15:19 owen nengard: The holds issue?
15:19 nengard basically circ rules aren't saving and so you can't place holds if there are no rules - yes the holds issue
15:20 nengard haven't seen a patch for that yet ...
15:20 nengard off to find the bug i reported

15:24 owen 3870  says patch-sent, but I can't find the patch
15:26 nengard yup .... me neither
15:26 owen Wait, I think this is it: [PATCH] Bug with update database, was causing finedays not to add, which broke adding issuingrules related to bug 3864

16:03 nelsonf hi everyone.  I've been struggling with e-mail ODUE notification for some time.  Our Linux gurus installed Postfix and I think put the pl script in crontab, but I'm not receiving e-mails.  I'm pretty sure the pl script was run manually to generate the e-mails.  I'd appreciate any feedback...
16:05 wizzyrea joined #koha
16:17 wizzyrea um, good morning? very quiet!
16:17 owen We were having a 13-minute moment of silence for your goose.
16:20 wizzyrea !!
16:21 owen Okay, back to work everyone!
16:21 wizzyrea lol
16:24 nelsonf we've got lots of patron types and overdue_notices.pl runs thru all of them, repeatedly for each fo the 4 branches, even though only one patron type for one branch is set to receive the ODUE notices.
16:25 wizzyrea nengard: you there chica?
16:25 nengard wizzyrea yup yup - patching patching :)
16:25 wizzyrea okies, I think I see what happened with the note
16:25 nengard awesome!
16:25 wizzyrea it was part of new acq, it was in and then the template that I changed was overwritten
16:25 wizzyrea so I'll fix it again

16:27 nahuel left #koha
16:29 nengard awesome - thanks wizzyrea
16:35 wizzyrea hm. I get an error 500 whenever I try to get the acquisitions on my install
16:36 nahuel joined #koha
16:36 wizzyrea nm I found it :P
16:37 jwagner nelsonf, is the problem that overdues aren't being generated, or that they're being generated for patrons not set to get them?
16:37 owen *whew* made it through all the new bugzilla emails, but my inbox is still filled with stuff to look at.
16:38 nelsonf not being generated.  I'm trying to set up tests by checking out books  for myself, to trigger notices, but no notices forthcoming
16:39 nengard sorry for all the emails owen :) but thanks for checking those!!!
16:39 owen No, thank you for all the emails!
16:41 nelsonf jwagner, I run perl -I /usr/share/koha/lib /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/overdue_notices.pl -t -n -v and can see the patron type and branch output.  should I show you this?
16:42 wizzyrea hmm. I actually don't particularly like this new suggestion interface :(
16:42 jwagner nelsonf, not sure we can troubleshoot here -- need lots of info.  Doublecheck your triggers and make sure your overdue date (with grace period) matches the trigger date.  I always have trouble dialing it in.
16:43 nelsonf how does the grace period factor in?
16:44 jwagner Come to think of it, does grace period affect overdue notices, or fines?  Anyone?
16:49 nelsonf I have a fine grace period of 3 days, and fine charging interval of 7 days, for my patron/branch type.  I've been working off the idea that if a book is due yesterday -- with Delay 1 for ODUE, I then should receive an e-mail today.
16:52 jwagner Does the patron category say Yes for receiving overdues?
16:53 nelsonf Yes.  For testing, my patron category (LIB-S) is the only one that says Yes.  We have many (10?) patron types, all say No but LIB-S.
16:53 wizzyrea nengard: http://screencast.com/t/ODgyMDAzZTYt like so?/
16:54 nengard wizzyrea looks good to me
16:54 nengard also make sure it goes to the edit suggestion form as well
16:54 nengard click on the title in your suggestion there and see if it's in the form
16:54 wizzyrea not sure why you'd want to sort on that, will have to fix that
16:54 wizzyrea yea, it's there
16:54 nengard awesome
16:55 wizzyrea at the bottom, Notes
16:55 wizzyrea cool, I'll get this ready to send :)
16:55 wizzyrea thanks for catching that
16:57 nelsonf jwagner, In trigger screen (overduerules.pl) I'm assigning Delay numbers in the Default library.  All other libraries show Delay null and Letter "No notice".  Actually one other patron type lists Yes to receive ODUE, but this is set to Delay null and Letter "No notice" for all three letters.
16:58 jwagner Try setting the delay under the actual library instead of under the top default level.  per my earlier discussion with owen, I've had problems with doing the setup at the default level.
16:59 nelsonf okay.  then I Save Changes, run the pl script from PutTY and the e-mail should be generated manually?
16:59 jwagner With luck....
17:04 nelsonf do I also need to run perl -I /usr/share/koha/lib /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjob​s/process_message_queue.pl -v to generate the actual e-mail?
17:04 jwagner Yes
17:04 nelsonf fingers crossed...
17:15 nelsonf just looking at the sql output, I see Returns 0 rows for each of the 3 passes on CFCE | LIB-S.  FYI, I set Delay to 6,7,8 and see output (6,7) for first pass, then (7,8), then (8,90).  No e-mail apparently generated.  I have items due 19,20,21,22 December.
17:17 nelsonf Oops, thats (7,8) - no emoticon.
17:19 jwagner nelsonf, I'm out of ideas -- anyone else?
17:20 nelsonf thanks for offering suggestions on my current grail search!
17:34 nelsonf a related question?  for PREDUE advance notices I can't get check box to show up under the patron messaging tab.  I only have blanks (a dash -, actually) for SMS/Email/Digest only, and RSS.  However, on the Item DUE row I see check boxes for SMS/Email/Digest only.  Maybe my version doesn't support this feature?  3.00.01.005

17:40 chris and you still cant add circulation rules?
17:40 nengard hi chris
17:40 chris http://librarian.koha.workbuff[…]in/smart-rules.pl
17:40 owen chris: sorry, the whole issue is getting muddled. Yes, I can add circ rules. But I still can't place holds
17:40 chris ahh totally different bug
17:41 owen chris: Yes, but I had to modify the issuingrules table by hand just to be able to add circ rules
17:41 owen So yes, the issuingrules table bug exists.
17:41 nengard chris me too - mine looks like that and i can't add rules
17:41 owen It just doesn't solve my problem all by itself.
17:43 chris well adding that column fixes adding rules, at least for owen and I
17:43 chris owen: reserves from opac or staff side?
17:43 owen Staff side is what I was testing
17:44 owen I'd have to apply your bug-fix for OPAC holds in order to test that... All these pending patches!
17:44 chris k, dont worry about opac
17:45 chris right can you do a select * from issuingrules and paste it?
17:46 pastebot "chris" at 192.168.15.101 pasted "issuingrules" (8 lines) at http://paste.workbuffer.org/101
17:46 pastebot "owen" at 192.168.15.101 pasted "select * from issuingrules;" (16 lines) at http://paste.workbuffer.org/102
17:47 chris right, can you try one thing for me
17:48 chris add a rule with default patron category and an itemtype (whatever itemtype you were trying to place a hold on)
17:48 chris with 50 reserves set
17:49 chris also on this page
17:49 chris http://librarian.koha.workbuff[…]de=ADULT&branch=*
17:49 chris what is the hold policy?
17:50 chris (i have from any library)
17:52 owen Sorry chris, if I don't leave I won't have time for lunch before I have to work at another branch today. Can we pick this up tomorrow?
17:52 chris yep
17:52 owen thanks
17:52 * owen hates to walk out on some good help!
17:52 * owen will be back in a bit, but without his testing setup

19:50 munin rhcl: kyle was last seen in #koha 3 weeks, 3 days, 23 hours, 43 minutes, and 33 seconds ago: <kyle> A late thought, instead of having a version number battle, why not move to a date based versioning system like Ubuntu? Koha 9.12?
19:51 rhcl Kyle has done some amazing work with libki.   http://libki.org
19:52 chris yeah its pretty cool
19:52 rhcl do you use it at all?
19:55 chris nope, but ive seen it in action
19:55 chris it knocks the socks off most of the proprietary alternatives
19:57 wizzyrea rhcl have you used libki?

20:20 rhcl We're just starting to play with it. My tech assistant got the server part up and running in just a couple of hours, but we don't have any clients set up yet.
20:20 rhcl Looks really cool--the "koha integration" is a nice little touch.
20:21 rhcl It's all php, and the server seems to run just fine on Mint and my OpenSuse connection.
20:22 rhcl It's much more logically organized than some other access control systems.
20:23 wizzyrea that sounds great
20:23 wizzyrea no print management though, right?
20:24 rhcl I don't think so???
20:24 rhcl That seems to be an open frontier in the OS world...lots of opportunities????
20:26 rhcl I do know that Userful takes their product and integrates it with the PC-Cop printer control system, so maybe that could be done (would require some additional coding I'm sure) with libki and PC-Cop.

20:36 chris printing is such a nightmare
20:36 chris i dont think anyone wants to touch it
