00:46 jdavidb Hi, brendan.
00:46 brendan hoping that heat has returned for you
00:46 brendan :)
00:46 brendan sounded cold reading through the logs
00:46 jdavidb Oh, yeah.  We had power by sunday night.  My DSL is still down, tho.
00:46 brendan but getting some reading done is always nice
00:46 jdavidb yep.
00:46 brendan bummer about the DSL
00:47 brendan you jumping on some neighbors wifi?
00:47 jdavidb Cell-phone tetherin.

01:10 nengard hi gmcharlt
01:10 nengard hi to all who don't usually see me at this hour :)
01:13 chris_n what an interesting twist
01:14 jdavidb Ain't it, though.
01:14 russ it is all fun and games in koha land :-)
01:15 brendan heh -- i like to call it my daily soap-opera
01:20 braedon|work so.. does that mean you guys aren't going to be getting koha.org back any time soon?
01:22 russ who knows
01:22 russ tune in next week when spidey says...
01:23 * russ gets on with useful stuff like updating the kohacon10 wiki

01:35 gmcharlt more like de-obfuscation
01:37 nengard k - time to go spend time with hubby - see you all tomorrow!
01:37 nengard left #koha
01:37 Jo lucky we weren't holding our breath for koha.org to come back to us :)
01:37 Jo bye Nicole
01:37 brendan koha-community.org++
01:37 brendan totally agree Jo
01:38 chris_n truth
01:38 gmcharlt Jo: at least it makes it crystal clear who you're negotiating with
01:40 Jo yep
01:40 Jo does anyone have an urge to tell me how good and useful turning on library thing or syndetics is for enhanced content in koha
01:41 Jo ie worth the price
01:41 brendan hmm..  have you seen a catalog with it turned on?
01:41 brendan wonders if I know of one with it turned on
01:42 gmcharlt it can be useful, yes, particularly with the LibraryThing stuff
01:43 Jo well as a new convert to library thing for my home library, it is pretty cool aka a real time ewaster :)
01:43 Jo apparently Waimakiriri here in nz have it but i can't see it when i saercah their catalogue.
01:43 brendan https://librarycatalog.ebpl.org
01:44 * chris_n discovers folding in vim and is an even happier camper
01:45 jransom left #koha
01:46 Jo I havn't quit
01:46 Jo my laptop quit (has a brain of its own and refuses to types 'O' anymore
01:46 collum_ Here's one with syndetics http://mtpl.ptfsinc.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-main.pl
01:48 brendan ah I like the tutorials found from that website collum_
01:48 brendan https://librarycatalog.ebpl.org
01:48 brendan whops
01:48 brendan http://mtpl.org/renew.html
01:50 Jo oh thanks - off playing
01:51 collum_ Yep.  Nice tutorials.
01:51 Jo so would you ever have more than 1 on these enhance content 'services' tunred on.
01:52 Jo ie would you have syndetics + google or just one or the other?
01:52 * chris_n notes cool new tweaks in additem.pl
01:52 gmcharlt potentially you might want to mix and match
01:52 gmcharlt in the case of cover images, to pull together multiple sources
01:53 collum_ Do LibraryThing tags come over into Koha?
01:53 gmcharlt but more likely to combine differents types of enhanced content
01:53 gmcharlt collum_: they're not indexed or loaded into Koha's own tag system afaik
01:53 brendan but it would show all sources of covers correct...  not just the one where it matches
01:53 gmcharlt brendan: yes, right now it would
01:54 Jo its the tags really . i don't think the public use them anywhere near as much as they should and if we imported a 'set' it would demonstrate how powerfuil they are
01:54 brendan collum_ it as javascript addition that calls from the lirbarything servers based on ISBN#
01:54 brendan IRC
01:54 collum_ Ahh.
01:55 brendan but that was my understanding awhile ago... I guess all things are dynamic
01:55 brendan well hoping that most things are dynamic
01:55 gmcharlt Jo: that's one of the things that SOPAC integration could help with - sharing tags among libraries
01:55 gmcharlt certainly critical mass is the biggest problem with tagging in library catalogs
01:56 brendan could be a cool koha-community.org project to build a shared tag's database
01:56 collum_ Yep.  I'm not sure we would ever get enough tags to be useful.
01:56 brendan for koha catalogs
01:56 collum_ if left up to the patrons.
01:56 gmcharlt brendan: build it, and we'll get Evergreen catalogs in as well ;)
01:56 brendan adding it to the list ;)
01:59 Jo that would be amazing
01:59 Genji joined #koha
02:01 liz-nekls joined #koha
02:02 Genji is there any method of figuring out what server query caused a zoom::event?
02:08 liz-nekls is now known as wizzyrea_laptop
02:08 wizzyrea_laptop very quiet, surprising really
02:10 chris_n you just missed out on all the long discussions
02:12 wizzyrea_laptop much wailing and gnashing of teeth?
02:13 Genji what if i move all the record retrieval into one lump... and then I process it? instead of getRecords record retrieval and process at the same time?
02:13 gmcharlt actually, no - we decided to talk about something useful and discussed enhanced content services for a bit ;)
02:13 wizzyrea_laptop ooh!
02:14 Genji i would be basically rewriting/reorganizing getRecord...
02:14 wizzyrea_laptop shinies!
02:15 wizzyrea_laptop I guess now that we know we don't have to guess at what is going to happen now, so we can move on our happy path of kicking lek's arse
02:15 gmcharlt Genji: if you're firing of multiple queries simultaneously, you can tell which connection a ZOOM::event is associated with
02:16 Genji gmcharlt: how?
02:16 wizzyrea_laptop (unless of course we see the code, then things might be different)
02:16 * wizzyrea_laptop is done now
02:17 gmcharlt Genji: that's what ZOOM::event does - if you look (e.g.,) at around line 401 of C4/Search.pm
02:17 gmcharlt ZOOM::event is checking the connections passed to it for events
02:18 gmcharlt the return value is the index into the array of connections of the connection that has the most recent event ready to process
02:19 gmcharlt the asynchronous applications section of perldoc ZOOM is pretty through
02:21 bob joined #koha
02:23 Genji so zconns[$i] is the same connection as $servers[$i]?
02:23 bob left #koha
02:25 gmcharlt it's one-to-one - the routines in C4::Search open one connection per defined server that it's searching
02:25 gmcharlt and the code happens to open the connections in the same order as @$servers
02:26 Genji right. so if i want to process server 1 first, i just do the while loop until $i=1?
02:28 Genji okay... im confused... it says asyncrounously retrieve results... means that the results are already in by this stage?
02:28 jdavidb joined #koha
02:29 user77 joined #koha
02:29 user77 is now known as rhcl_home
02:30 gmcharlt that you are started to receive them, yes
02:30 gmcharlt and you still want to pull them in asynchronously for efficency
02:32 gmcharlt if you want to split the output by server, what you can do is either include the server index ($i) as part of the data stracture that you stick th eresults into
02:32 gmcharlt i.e., build an array to start the $results_hash that you want associated with each connection
02:36 gmcharlt Genji: and actually, getRecords is doing that for you anyway
02:37 gmcharlt as $results_hashref (after line 481)
02:39 collum_ left #koha
02:39 Genji hmm.. i actually want to combine the results, server 1 + server 2, and then do the ofsetting and results per page..
02:40 Genji well.. its not server 1.. server 2 for me.. its query 1 + query 2.
02:41 jdavidb left #koha
02:42 gmcharlt append the results of one query after the other, right?
02:47 Genji ya. but the offsetting happens inside getRecord itself. while looping through the results.
02:48 gmcharlt which gets us back to one of my earlier suggestions, which is seeing if you can create appropriate sort indexes so that you can create a single query that puts the records you want first
02:49 gmcharlt in order to it via separate queries, you'd have to get the number of hits from the first query
02:49 gmcharlt see if that falls in the desired search offset
02:50 gmcharlt then issue one or two separate calls to getRecords
02:50 gmcharlt once you do that, the merge of the result sets becomes trivial
02:51 Genji hmm.. getRecord does its own offsetting though.
02:53 gmcharlt right - get the result set size for a query (without fully processing it) would need to be a new function
02:53 Genji right.
02:54 Jo syndetics data as enhanced content looks amazing ...
03:05 Genji so, search.pl first getResultSize($query) then if $offset is within $size, getRecord   query 1 until resultsperpage and if results per page isn't filled by query 1's results, get query 2's results.. until is resultsperpage.... if query 1 is under offset, or has  no results, use query 2, by offset until resultsperpage.... this right?
03:07 gmcharlt yep
03:13 Genji hmm.. sounds like i should code two new subroutines in Search.pm
03:21 Jo Brendan: is east brunswick one of your libraries?
03:21 brendan no
03:21 brendan I think they are one of PTFS's first ones
03:21 Jo its using both syndetics and library tghing tags: https://librarycatalog.ebpl.or[…]iblionumber=59230
03:21 brendan cool
03:21 Jo and that tag cloud and ability to 'hop' about the koha catalogue is what I'm after.
03:21 gmcharlt yep, EBPL was among PTFS' first
03:22 Jo i wonder if itsstraight forward 'koha 3.2' out of thebox. has their code been shred?
03:22 Jo shared (sorry nursing a very sore hand and typing is crap)
03:23 * brendan thinks parts of have been shared
03:23 gmcharlt the LTFL for libraries support is definitely in there
03:23 gmcharlt in 3.2, that is
03:23 Jo yep - just discovered the enhanced content sys admin tabs and working through seeing i might like to have
03:24 gmcharlt IIUC, in order to be able to jump from LTFL tags to bibs in your Koha catalog, you send LT a dump of your MARC records or a list of the ISBNs that you have
03:24 Jo but it would be permanetly out of date ...
03:25 Jo it can't do it on the fly?
03:25 brendan thinking that you are correct with your U gmcharlt
03:25 gmcharlt Jo: http://www.librarything.com/wiki/index.php/Koha
03:25 brendan I think they LT have methods for that updates being very quick... so not too far behind
03:26 Jo what does IIUC mean ?
03:26 gmcharlt if I understand correctly
03:27 Jo oh :)
03:27 Jo thankyou
03:28 Jo may have to file a work request for chris that "i want one like that"
03:28 gmcharlt HLT is running a 3.0.x now, right?
03:29 Jo yep but we have 3.2 we are playing on
03:29 gmcharlt cool
03:29 gmcharlt the LTFL setup is even easier in 3.2
03:29 Jo well - actually a 2.2.9 live, a 3.0.x test site and a 3.2 playground
03:29 Jo yep - i'm playing in 3.2 config now
03:30 Jo we were going to upgrade to 3.0 but decided to wait for 3.2
03:30 gmcharlt it's worth the wait :)
03:30 Jo yep - nods frantically :)
03:30 Jo I'm very excited... we really have to go live march / april
03:31 Jo so hoping 3.2 stable will be available
03:31 gmcharlt it'll be there
03:34 Jo yippee
03:37 rhcl_home left #koha
03:48 braedon|work gmcharlt: do those lists of modules i added to the bug look ok/remotely useful?
03:48 gmcharlt braedon|work: yes
03:48 gmcharlt tracking deps is a never-ending task - every bit helps
03:50 braedon|work :)
03:50 braedon|work it was bit of a mish to track those down
03:50 braedon|work but they seem to be working for me now
03:53 braedon|work until someone updates something
03:53 braedon|work and then they will break again
03:56 gmcharlt and thus the circle of life continues
03:57 braedon|work i really should chuck together a ppa of the cpan ones
03:57 braedon|work cpan just gives SO many stupid issues
03:57 braedon|work some of which cpanp seems to be able to solve
03:58 braedon|work but that has it's own issues
03:59 Jo where does nicole live
04:01 gmcharlt New Jersey

13:33 chris_n magnus: I'm not sure about pulling
13:34 nengard got a question about the url checker - i read the wiki page and I did this:
13:34 joetho hello, testing
13:34 nengard perl check-url.pl ?html ?htmldir=/kohaclone/koha-tmpl ?host=http://localhost:8080
13:35 nengard but i don't see an html file in the koha-tmpl directory ...
13:35 chris_n nengard: I'd guess it walks down that dir structure starting at that point
13:36 nengard to where ?? :)

13:37 chris_n nengard: I've a suggestion for the manual
13:37 nengard yes?
13:37 chris_n in the cron jobs section
13:38 chris_n perhaps including the info from perldoc on each script would be beneficial
13:38 chris_n ie

13:38 nengard can/will do
13:39 chris_n great, tnx!

13:47 chris_n and a Delay value is required for the trigger to work
13:47 chris_n so if I want to send an 'Advance Notice of Item Due'
13:47 chris_n and I set a delay of 1 day
13:48 chris_n then the advanced notice is not sent until 1 day after the item is due
13:48 owen joined #koha
13:48 chris_n not quite advanced notice in my thinking
13:48 jwagner chris_n, the advance notice doesn't use the notice triggers.  Separate script.
13:48 chris_n jwagner: so contrary to the help file, the advanced notice will be sent if the delay field is empty?
13:48 jwagner Sorry, we lost our VPN connection for the moment, so I can't look, but check misc/cronjobs for the script.  It needs to be cronned, and the # days set in the patron record.
13:48 owen Hi all
13:49 jwagner Morning, owen
13:49 chris_n nengard: you might want to note that so the help can be corrected
13:49 chris_n or maybe I should open a bug for that?
13:50 nengard hmmm
13:50 nengard so - delay is used for all but advanced notice? I can put that in the manual
13:50 nengard and the help
13:51 jwagner The delay is only used for the overdue notices, so far as I know.
13:51 nengard wait - what page are we on ...
13:51 nengard the notice triggers?
13:51 nengard cause isn't advanced notice handled by the patron using enhanced messages?
13:51 jwagner All the notice texts live under notices, but the notice triggers only are used for overdues.  Somebody check me on that, but I think its right.
13:52 nengard if that's the case then we need a bug
13:52 jdavidb Mornin', owen.  :)
13:52 nengard so that the other notices can't be selected from the triggers page
13:52 jwagner The patron messaging settings control whether/how many days a patron gets an advanced notice, whether the patron gets an email for holds triggered, etc.
13:53 chris_n nengard: the issue is that the help on the overduerules.pl page incorrectly implies that the Delay field value is necessary for any notice to be processed
13:53 nengard that i can fix, but we have a bigger issue as well
13:53 chris_n which is, in fact, only true for overdue notices
13:54 chris_n of course the entire page is confusing as it claims to be defining overdue actions
13:54 chris_n but in reality handles several types of notifications
13:55 kf chris_n: i can help with questions about overdue-notices
13:55 chris_n including general announcements
13:55 kf kf: testing them right now in all different combinations
13:56 chris_n kf: we were just discussing the confusing help and general text in overduerules.pl
13:57 kf ah ok, there are some other bad things about notice triggers
13:57 kf minimal value is 1
13:57 kf and dont use the default library - no notices will be sent
13:57 chris_n kf: so the script does not process any notices with a delay of less than 1?
13:57 kf got no notice when I tried with 0
13:58 kf only with 1 for the first notice
13:58 kf this is the day after due date
13:58 kf which is ok, because you can also sent itemdue and advances notices
13:58 kf but a hint would be good
13:58 chris_n kf: so if I want an advanced notice sent , it will not send until 1 day *after* the item is due?
13:58 kf overdue notices
13:59 nengard chris_n - you are missing the point - the advanced notice shouldn't be on that triggers page at all cause it's handled on the enhanced messaging preferences on the patron record
13:59 kf advances notices are sent before due date
13:59 chris_n nengard: big bug then :)
13:59 chris_n a blocker imho
14:00 nengard unless I too am misunderstanding
14:00 kf I dont understand the problem
14:00 jwagner I don't think it's a blocker, necessarily, but it definitely needs more explanatory text.
14:00 chris_n kf: so if I set up an advanced notice do I have to set a delay?
14:01 * chris_n is confused as to whether the functionality is broken or just the documentation
14:01 jwagner chris_n, the delay is set in the patron record -- the Enhanced Messaging section.  You can do a global db update to set the same delay for everyone.
14:02 kf yes, or define the delay in patron type and import your new patrons after that :)
14:02 jwagner If you edit the patron categories and set up your desired settings there for advance notice, holds, etc., then any time you create a new patron it will pick up the settings automatically.  But there's no easy way short of a SQL update to modify existing records.
14:03 chris_n so then what is the Delay field for on the overduerules.pl page?
14:03 kf advanced notice = before due date and item due = due date are handled in advanced messaging, overdue notices in notice triggers
14:03 nengard chris_n - it should only be for overdue notices, but that's the part that needs fixing
14:04 nengard right now you can pick it for anything
14:04 jwagner It's a documentation/screen display issue.
14:04 kf for overdue notices, days after due date
14:04 jwagner Ideally the notice triggers page should only filter/show overdue notices in the pulldowns.  If that's not possible, at least some screen text about "this is only for overdue notices"
14:05 chris_n so it sounds to me like the overduerules.pl page needs an overhaul
14:05 kf jwagner: right. but its nice you can create as many notice templates as you want and choose there
14:06 jwagner Right.  As I said, I'm not logged in right now so I can't look.  Is there anything in the settings that says "this notice is for overdues" as opposed to "this notice is for circ stuff"?  I don't remember.
14:06 kf perhaps a new option for notices - module overdue notices and show only those on notice triggers page
14:06 kf i think it shows all from circulation
14:07 chris_n I'm going to open two bugs then: one for the documentation and one for a general rework of overduerules.pl
14:07 jwagner Then yes, kf, making a new notice modules just for overdues & having the notice triggers only show those would work.
14:08 kf serials routing list and claim serial issues are already differnet modules, so its not really koha modules in this list
14:08 * jwagner stamps my foot and pouts.  I want my VPN connection back!
14:11 nengard jwagner you need to install virtualbox and then Koha on that - so you don't need vpn
14:11 * chris_n empathizes with jwagner
14:11 kf ah, im quoted in bugzilla
14:11 chris_n when mine is down, I have to drive about 30 mins to fix it :-P
14:11 chris_n kf: sometimes that is the easiest way to describe the issue :)
14:12 * jdavidb makes a not to go visit jwagner, and set her up a virtualbox sandbox or two or three.
14:12 * jdavidb then turns the not into a note.
14:13 nengard okay - i kind of go lost - what's the deal with the triggers? I think an easy fix is to remove the default advanced notice that's found in there - that at least solved part of the problem? right?
14:14 jwagner Sorry, my workmen are here so I got called away.  I hope they get the VPN up soon :-(
14:14 chris_n nengard: probably consulting with jwagner and kf will be better as my understanding is very poor atm
14:15 kf chris_n: I m not always sure my english is really understandable
14:15 chris_n kf: I understand you just fine :)
14:15 jwagner nengard, the problem is that the triggers page allows selection of other types of notices, including advance notices, that aren't controlled by the overdues script
14:15 nengard chris_n i think that originally the advanced notice was going to be handled by those triggers, but then it was added to the patron enahnced messaging moduel
14:16 kf and please remove default library or make it work!
14:16 chris_n kf: please add that to bug 4171

15:34 kf Calculate fines based on days overdue directly / not include the days the library is closed - so I cant deactivate the calendar to get fines on holidays? (this is what I wanted to do - so I can send out notices the same day as fine is charged - notices dont look for the calendar at all )

15:48 chris_n errr... code for messaging in general that is
15:49 wizzyrea chris_n I think I"m with you on that
15:49 jwagner chris_n, you mean into the OPAC tab code?  I think that should probably be kept separate.
15:49 jwagner That's just a display on/off switch for the OPAC, doesn't do anything substantive on staff side.
15:50 * jwagner redirects my cursing to Pepco -- they apparently cut the power to our building for a while.
15:50 chris_n jwagner: sorry, I jumped trains of thought there
15:51 * jwagner starts singing Wreck of the Old '97....
15:51 chris_n I meant all messaging be rolled into one
15:51 chris_n this interface is *much* less confusing than the overduerules.pl interface
15:51 jwagner It really does annoy me that you have to have Enhanced Messaging on just to be able to send emails when holds are triggered.  Even if you don't want to use the other stuff like SMS, advance notice, etc.
15:53 chris_n why not have the messaging on always and default to do not send?
15:54 jwagner My biggest gripe is with the SMS option always showing.  If it's there, patrons think it's functional, but it requires additional setup on the staff end & library may not want to use it at all.
15:56 kf chris_n: I dont think you can use one interface - for example I think there is dev for itemtype instead of patron category - so it would not work as a standard setting for patron category

16:16 nengard okay - but i haven't gotten it to work yet ...
16:17 schuster you indicate where you want the output to be put and filename.  perl check-url.pl -html -htmldir=/kohaclone/checkurl.html -host=http://localhost:8080
16:17 nengard OH!
16:17 nengard got it
16:17 biglego joined #koha
16:17 schuster -htmldir=/kohaclone/ tells the pl where to put the output and the checkurl.html - is the file it creates you can name it whatever you want.
16:18 schuster then once it completes you can go to http://localhost:8080/checkurl.html - to see the output with links to the bib.
16:18 jwagner schuster, you're talking about the default of where to put the output?  I'd suggest someplace that's normally web accessible, like somewhere under the koha-tmpl tree.
16:19 schuster yes - remember this is a cron job so the person doing the cron can assign it -htmldir=/kohaclone/koha-tm​pl/..../checkforbadurl.html
16:20 schuster I was wondering about if we did that we could actually add the file name etc... to the koha tools page for easier access or let the admin tell the cataloger where to find the file?
16:21 schuster anything in /kohaclone/ is web accessible so that is where we dropped it on my server.
16:21 schuster FYI it runs on 3.00.042 if anyone is interested in playing with it jwagner...

19:45 moodaepo heh
19:46 jwagner Speaking of ice fishing, one of my most cherished memories of wandering around Maine in late winter was a parking lot next to a lake.  Lots of vehicles out on the frozen lake with people ice fishing.
19:46 jwagner In the parking lot, a truck with a sign on it reading "Underwater Recovery Specialists"
19:46 jdavidb moodaepo: The one time I went ice fishing, I kept hearing this loud voice, every time I'd get ready to cut into the ice, saying, "There are no fish under the ice..."  I finally said, "Lord, if they're not here, where are they?"  and the voice replied, "This is not God.  This is the rink announcer...
19:48 moodaepo jdavidb: Nice. I have to say I am an expat from Chicago and have not gone ice fishing in the 5 years I'm been round these parts. Might do it just to tell the city folks I've done and gone native : )
19:48 jdavidb My tale is not uncommon for persons who attempt ice-fishing in Dallas.
19:48 jwagner You mean you can't fish for ice cubes in the freezer?

21:29 pianohackr|work right
21:30 wizzyrea this may be another of my projects on my never ending list of projects :P
21:30 biglego time for the followup question to my creating a new tool link yesterday
21:30 chris wow, go to camp and deals explode
21:31 biglego are there some generic include and template files to start with or do i need to start carving up some of the ones already there
21:31 pianohackr|work biglego: The latter, unfortunately
21:32 pianohackr|work Fortunately, many of the tools are recent additions, so the code's reasonably clean
21:32 biglego any recommendations on the most generic to start with
21:32 wizzyrea ya, things just went all esplodey
21:33 pianohackr|work biglego: Depends a bit on what you plan to do
21:34 wizzyrea I wonder if in the install script, since the git documentation on the wiki suggests kohaclone as the directory, we should make the install instructions mirror that
21:34 wizzyrea so suggest /home/X/kohaclone instead of /home/X/koha-dev
21:35 wizzyrea or change the wiki >..
21:35 wizzyrea >.>
21:35 wizzyrea and the installation script, too
21:35 pianohackr|work Hrm. I think kohaclone as the git tree and koha-dev as the base install directory is the convention
21:35 pianohackr|work biglego: Also, it sounds like you're editing the files in the extracted source archive, and not the actual installed ones
21:36 wizzyrea scratch that, you're right
21:36 wizzyrea of course you are right. lol
21:36 wizzyrea strike that last suggestion
21:37 pianohackr|work I personally use a different directory, but I'm obsessive-compulsive like that
21:37 wizzyrea eh, tis your right. :)
21:38 biglego pianohacker I am, what I do is just rename my working directory as I try things out.  I'm kinda new to this whole development thing so i'm bumbling along
21:38 pianohackr|work I think the existing names are a teensy bit confusing, but whatever :)
21:38 biglego scratch that I am working with the installed files in my directory
21:39 pianohackr|work biglego: If you're doing many custom changes at all, you might want to look into http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?[…]lopment:git_usage
21:39 biglego usr/share/koha
21:39 pianohackr|work Some learning time to start, but it will make your life ten times easier in the long run
21:40 biglego probably a worthwhile investment
21:40 wizzyrea can you turn on the memcached support after install time? I'd like to test it out (at some point) but not right now
21:40 chris yes you can
21:40 wizzyrea kool
21:40 wizzyrea ty
21:40 pianohackr|work wizzyrea: Yup, you just have to add a couple lines to your koha-conf.xml
21:40 chris you just need to add 2 lines to the conf fle
21:40 wizzyrea so... I would add 2 lines to the conf file then?
21:40 wizzyrea ;)
21:40 wizzyrea i tease, I tease
21:40 pianohackr|work Yes, something like that :)

21:46 chris_n or 50
21:46 chris_n or all
21:47 biglego in a nutshell i install the latest greatest Head master, and then use it to write my changes to the files I edit
21:47 biglego then I can rollback to originals if I screw up my clone
21:47 pianohackr|work basically, yes
21:48 biglego okay i thought i had the concept
21:48 pianohackr|work http://www.kernel.org/pub/soft[…]/gittutorial.html might be useful, though you can skip some steps as you're starting with an existing project
21:49 wizzyrea and these guys (and gals) are very patient/helpful to git nubs.
21:49 * wizzyrea is a git nub
21:49 pianohackr|work chris_n: One very tiny code nitpick I see is !$a && !$b rather than !($a || $b), though that's as much personal preference as anything
21:49 cait 3.4 - 3.2 is not released and I already long for 3.4 features :)
21:49 pianohackr|work hehe
21:50 pianohackr|work wizzyrea: I think chris is the only one of us who _isn't_ a git nub. It takes a little getting used to :)

21:51 gmcharlt wizzyrea: there was a time when the Koha git reference page came up pretty high on a google search on 'git tutorial'
21:52 wizzyrea it *is* a  pretty epic tutorial, actually. I use it *all the time*
21:52 biglego so another stupid question should I reinstall with git or is there away to update my current install via git to the most current.
