00:48 chris http://blog.bigballofwax.co.nz[…]fternoon-funnies/
00:54 brendan :)
00:58 gmcharlt atu clearly has a future as a very direct therapist
01:01 chobbs Is there a particular pastebin you all use for sharing code snippets in chat?
01:03 gmcharlt pastebot: help
01:04 gmcharlt chobbs: http://paste.workbuffer.org/
01:05 chobbs Thanks!
01:06 chobbs Anyone know of a good way to pick out one marc record (by number) in a marc file of 90K records? I'm currently looping through all records and using a counter to locate the record of interest. It feels kinda ugly :)
01:08 gmcharlt well, that's pretty much the way to do it
01:09 gmcharlt if you need to do it repeated on the same set of records, you could load and index them, then retrieve the records of interest
01:10 chobbs Well ,the problem is that loading them isn't working, and I'm trying to figure out why :)
01:10 chobbs More accurately, loading seems to work, but indexing is breaking.
01:10 chobbs I've run marclint on the exported_records and it blows up on record 78552, so I'm trying to id what's wrong with that record.
01:11 gmcharlt is 78552 the biblionumber of the database or the sequence number of the bib in the original file?
01:12 chobbs Good question. It's the number zebra_rebuild squawked on.
01:12 chobbs Which would that be?
01:13 gmcharlt could you paste the specific squawk?
01:13 chobbs I knew you were going to ask that - it's scrolled out of my terminal buffer, so I'll need to re-run zebra_build :(
01:14 gmcharlt screen is your friend ;)
01:14 chobbs Actually, it ought to be in theirc log, since I showed it to Chris earlier - wait one.
01:14 CGI822 joined #koha
01:15 chobbs I'm actually in screen, but still no joy :)
01:17 CGI822 left #koha
01:17 pastebot "chobbs" at 192.168.15.101 pasted "zebra_rebbuild squawk" (4 lines) at http://paste.workbuffer.org/9
01:18 chobbs marclint is having trouble with the record as well - looks like I'm missing a record terminator of some sort
01:19 gmcharlt what do you get when you run yaz-marcdump the_record.mrc
01:19 chobbs let me wait and see - 90,000 records :)
01:20 chobbs well, no errors
01:21 chobbs but it stopped after 21,945 titles
01:22 chobbs (assuming this is a legitimate way of counting records: grep '^245 [0-9][0-9] \$a' out.txt | wc -l )
01:22 chobbs and it's not
01:22 gmcharlt indicator regex should be [ 0-9][ 0-9]
01:23 chobbs I have 90,589 records, which is pretty much right on
01:23 chobbs yup, figured that out :)
01:23 gmcharlt what does grep -v '^[0-9]' out.txt | grep -v '^$' show ?
01:24 chobbs 90616, which is correct
01:24 chobbs actually, it might be 10 over, if memory serves
01:24 chobbs I thought I had 90,606
01:27 pastebot "chobbs" at 192.168.15.101 pasted "OK, there are errors in there:" (10 lines) at http://paste.workbuffer.org/10
01:28 chobbs found the 10 extra lines :)
01:28 chobbs found the 10 extra lines :)
01:29 gmcharlt ok - less out.txt and grep for ^( will show you the bad records
01:30 chobbs got it
01:30 pastebot "chobbs" at 192.168.15.101 pasted "Bad record" (12 lines) at http://paste.workbuffer.org/11
01:31 chobbs So how would I go about finding the record in my source MARC file, and figure out what I did wrong while building it? I'm in the process of conversion, btw.
01:32 gmcharlt select biblionumber from biblioitems where marc like '1201666%';
01:33 chobbs sweet
01:34 gmcharlt or if that doesn't work
01:34 gmcharlt select biblionumber from biblioitems where marc like '%Vid22005-04-1150%';
01:35 chobbs grr. no results in either case.
01:36 gmcharlt try this
01:36 gmcharlt select biblionumber from biblioitems where marc like '%nam2208509%';
01:36 gmcharlt and
01:37 gmcharlt select biblionumber from biblioitems where length(marc) > 99999;
01:37 * chobbs wonders if biblioitems is indexed: 43 seconds to select count(*) ?
01:37 gmcharlt select(*) is always slow in InnoDB - it's just a quirk of that storage engine
01:38 gmcharlt select count(*), even
01:38 chobbs ah, ok. :)
01:38 chobbs OK, biblionumber 78852
01:39 * gmcharlt takes a wild guess that the lowest biblionumber is your DB is 301
01:40 chobbs select min(biblionumber) from biblioitems; 1
01:40 gmcharlt eh, oh well :)
01:41 chobbs select length(marc) from biblioitems where biblionumber=78852; 120239
01:41 gmcharlt could you paste biblioitems.marcxml for that bib?
01:42 chobbs how would i get that?
01:42 chobbs ne'er mind
01:43 pastebot "chobbs" at 192.168.15.101 pasted "marcxml for 78552" (446 lines) at http://paste.workbuffer.org/12
01:45 chobbs that's not the right one :(
01:45 chobbs hold on
01:46 pastebot "chobbs" at 192.168.15.101 pasted "marcxml for 78552" (89 lines) at http://paste.workbuffer.org/13
01:46 chobbs The new one is based on this url - is this the right way to access it? http://koha:8080/cgi-bin/koha/[…]iblionumber=78552
01:47 gmcharlt yep
01:47 gmcharlt is it biblionumber 78852 or 78552 that's the bad one?
01:48 chobbs grumble
01:49 chobbs holy crap we have a lot of those items :)
01:50 chobbs wow, an 8MB marcxml file :)
01:51 gmcharlt whee!
01:51 gmcharlt adding -x to rebuild_zebra.pl causing it to process the bibs in thier MARC XML form
01:51 chobbs Yeah, it's 200K lines long - you sure you want me to paste it, or can we assume it's just plain not going to like it :)
01:51 gmcharlt let's not kill chris' pastebot :)
01:52 gmcharlt ... and that way, it would ignore the 99,999 byte limit of MARC record blob
01:53 gmcharlt but practically speaking, you'll need to duplicate that bib and spread its items around
01:53 chobbs OK, but looking at it, it seems broken.
01:53 chobbs the 952 fields seem to be run together
01:53 gmcharlt what does select count(*) from items where biblionumber = 78852 show?
01:53 chobbs 695
01:54 gmcharlt thought so
01:54 chobbs but that's way wrong
01:54 gmcharlt anyway, try rerrunning rebuild_zebra.;pl with the -x option
01:54 chobbs grep '<subfield code="p">3147' Downloads/bib-78852.marcxml | wc -l
01:54 chobbs 9961
01:54 chobbs 3147 being our barcodes
01:55 gmcharlt ah - is it a magazine?
01:55 chobbs nope, some ridiculous video adapter for computers.
01:55 chobbs tempted to just drop it :)
01:55 gmcharlt indeed
01:56 chobbs although we apparently got them fairly recently (03/2005)
01:56 gmcharlt did somebody really go to the trouble of barcoding over 3,000 video adapters?
01:56 chobbs no, they barcoded 9,961!
01:56 chobbs 3147 is the start of our barcode tag number
01:57 gmcharlt ah right
01:57 gmcharlt what on earth did the poor slop who did it do to get that task? ;)
01:57 chobbs that was the year before I took over, so no idea :)
01:57 biglego joined #koha
01:58 chobbs alright, I appreciate your help identifying the problem. Now to figure out what to do about it.
01:58 * chobbs shakes head.
01:58 chobbs That's like 5% of our biblioitems table :)
01:58 gmcharlt more seriously, removing that bib and items for now would make sense - you can then munge that record to split it into a few dozen copies of the bib
01:59 chobbs is that as easy as delete from biblio, biblioitem where biblionumber=78852; ?
01:59 chobbs and items, of course
01:59 gmcharlt just deleting from biblio will cascade all the way
01:59 chobbs in mysql, or through koha?
01:59 gmcharlt in mysql
01:59 chobbs wow, real relationships :)
02:00 gmcharlt are they wonderful things?
02:00 gmcharlt then rerun rebuild_zebra
02:00 chobbs indeed
02:00 chobbs wilco
02:01 chobbs and thanks to screen, I can shut down my computer and head home. Really appreciate the help!
02:04 gmcharlt you're welcome

02:07 brendan oh man sorry wrong window :)
02:07 gmcharlt it's *my* $dbh, I tell you
02:08 * brendan hits head on wall
02:08 brendan poor wall
02:18 chris_n hehe
02:18 chris_n it's Friday eve, brendan ;)
02:18 brendan heh
02:19 chris_n but it sure looks as though you have a handle on things... especially the db
02:19 * brendan feels like my head is stuck in this loop
02:19 gmcharlt time to unroll the loop and do something else for a bit
02:20 brendan not sure all I can think about is MFHD_ITEM etc.

07:55 Nouman yeah Im trying this
07:55 Nouman it show
07:55 Nouman Not Found  The requested URL / was not found on this server. Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) Server at 10.1.2.36 Port 8080

07:56 Nouman I tried this also but it is also not working, it also show the same prolem
07:57 Ropuch It's odd
07:58 Ropuch Can you replace VirtualHost 121.52.186.197 with VirtualHost 127.0.1.1
07:59 Ropuch In /etc/apache2/sites-available/koha
07:59 Nouman My pc is on netting
08:00 Ropuch I'm not sure I understand
08:00 Nouman actual ip outiside this system is 121.52.186.197 but on my pc it is 10.1.2.36
08:00 Ropuch Oh
08:00 Ropuch Nevermind
08:01 Nouman through same configuration, some one have installed koha on this pc
08:01 Nouman but when I tried to remove and install again 3.00.05 it show this problem
08:02 Ropuch What koha version was installed earlier?
08:02 Nouman 3.00.04_fixed
08:02 Ropuch And it was working, right?
08:03 Nouman all was right but catalgue search from my own system was not working even after completing fast index
08:03 Nouman but search from z39.50 was working
08:04 Ropuch Nouman: you're installing koha for testing,m right? The opac don't need to be accesible from outside?
08:04 magnus joined #koha
08:05 Nouman No I want to deploy koha in my organization..
08:05 Nouman opac as well as intranet search was not working even books were added. while z39.50 was workin. I have imported books via z39.50
08:07 Nouman I replace pwd 12 instead of katikoan of mysql
08:07 Nouman is it my mistake ot it is alright.
08:07 Ropuch It's ok
08:08 Ropuch I was sure you're doing insytall for test only
08:08 Ropuch And inthat case leaving default is better idea for troubleshoting
08:08 Ropuch And avoiding troubles in general
08:09 Ropuch Actually i strongly advice you to do local koha install, test it
08:09 Ropuch And then tune it to your need
08:10 Ropuch Problem with The requested URL / was not found... is not koha-related
08:12 Nouman Yeah! I kept each and every thing by default.
08:12 Nouman What should I do now
08:18 Ropuch I'm just average koha user, not apache expert
08:18 Nouman ok
08:18 Ropuch You replace VirtualHost 121.52.186.197 with VirtualHost 10.1.2.36
08:19 Ropuch And have koha locally untill you'll figure out how to fix apache problem
08:20 Nouman locally? Im not getting
08:20 Nouman I installed at localhost
08:22 brendan left #koha
08:22 Ropuch I mean: you can have working koha that will be anly accesible from local machnes (within 10.1.* network)
08:22 Ropuch You can add some record, configure it
08:23 Ropuch And by the time you decide it's time to go live, I'm sure you'l find the way to fix apache issues
08:26 Nouman but koha is not running
08:26 Nouman so how can I add and configure records
08:28 Ropuch Set VirtualHost to 10.1.2.36, restart apache and try http://10.1.2.36:8080

09:20 Nouman when I want to run koha installer or local host at my browser it show
09:20 Nouman http://pastebin.org/101592
09:21 Nouman plz solve my issue
09:27 slef Nouman: your apache is misconfigured.  Check /var/log/apache2/error.log
09:27 slef also make sure the "apache2ctl -S" output lists koha-httpd.conf
09:28 slef I'll just check whether the INSTALL.debian-lenny is correct
09:29 slef So I assume you finished step "4. Configure and start Apache".
09:31 Nouman Slef: it show File does not exist: /htdocs
09:34 slef Nouman: Could you run "grep ServerName /etc/koha-httpd.conf" please?
09:35 Ropuch Hi slef
09:36 Nouman slef: it show grep 121.52.156.200 /etc/koha-httpd.conf grep: /etc/koha-httpd.conf: No such file or directory
09:38 Nouman I need help
09:39 slef Nouman: want to give me access to your computer?
09:39 slef you can watch over my shoulder
09:39 slef (or boot me out, as you like)
09:39 slef if your connection is reasonably high-speed
09:40 slef Oh my mistake!
09:40 slef grep ServerName /etc/koha/koha-httpd.conf
09:40 slef it moved
09:40 slef retry with that command
09:40 slef hi Ropuch
09:40 Ropuch ;>
09:41 Nouman slef: how can I give u acces to my computer in debian-lenny.. I dont know the way. tell me as  I can give u access
09:41 Ropuch slef: Nouman seems to be behind NAT
09:41 slef Nouman: try the grep command above first
09:41 slef Ropuch: it won't stop me.
09:42 Ropuch heheh
09:42 slef Ropuch: everyone is behind NAT, even me.
09:43 Nouman I have given. it did not show any output just happen
09:44 Ropuch slef: it's just easier to explain someone to install ssh server, taht's what I meant
09:44 Ropuch ;>
09:44 Ropuch Ok, bbiab
09:47 Nouman http://pastebin.org/101608
09:47 slef Nouman: ok, I'll send you connection details in private
09:47 slef erm, that is output
09:47 Nouman ok
09:48 Nouman output... mean?
09:48 slef OK, have you visited http://lumhs-b70715be2:8080/ ?
09:48 Nouman no
09:48 slef try that - that is where your Koha is installed
09:49 slef whether or not it can hear you - different question :-/
09:49 Nouman Im not getting what r u saying
09:49 Nouman koha was installed last time
09:50 slef Visit http://lumhs-b70715be2:8080/ and Koha may appear.
09:50 Nouman but now i removed and now trying to install koha it is now showing
09:51 Nouman When I want to put servername:8080 or localhost it show the problem
09:51 slef That is because Koha is listening at lumhs-b70715be2:8080, not servername:8080 or localhost.
09:51 Nouman I removed apache2 and installed it again but change
09:51 slef Removing apache2 will not change where Koha is listening.
09:52 slef Can you put the output of "apache2ctl -S" into pastebin, please?
09:53 Nouman http://pastebin.org/101614
09:54 slef What happens when you visit http://lumhs-b70715be2:8080/ ?
09:54 Nouman it show networki time out
09:55 Nouman http://pastebin.org/101616
09:56 Nouman I was accessing koha in past as http://10.1.2.36:8080
09:56 Nouman I just removed koha and starting fresh installation
09:57 Nouman after that it show this problem
09:57 slef OK
09:57 slef Open the file /etc/koha/koha-httpd.conf
09:58 slef below each ServerName line, add
09:58 slef ServerAlias 10.1.2.36
09:58 slef then save and exit, /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
09:58 slef then retry
09:58 slef What was happening was that Koha is only listening on an address that does not work.
09:59 slef The installer autodetected the address that does not work because your local DNS configuration is slightly broken.
09:59 Nouman http://pastebin.org/101617
09:59 Nouman this is the already connection
10:00 slef Not enough to break most things, but enough to break autodetection.
10:00 slef OK, that is interesting.
10:00 Nouman is it right or not?
10:00 slef I think its address is http://121.52.186.197:8080/
10:00 slef Try changing line 6 to say
10:00 slef <VirtualHost *:80>
10:01 slef and the similar line later on to say
10:01 Nouman My computer is on netting by Network administrator
10:01 slef <VirtualHost *:8080>
10:01 slef then save&exit, then /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
10:01 Nouman from my computer and network it will be accessed 10.1.2.36 while outside it will be accessed 121.52
10:03 slef so you need to have * in the VirtualHost lines I think
10:03 slef to listen on multiple addresses
10:04 slef I think most servers don't need that, so it isn't the default
10:04 Nouman should I write this way <VirtualHost 121.52.186.197*:8080>
10:06 Nouman or <VirtualHost *:80> only
10:09 slef <VirtualHost *:80> only
10:17 Nouman slef How can I save file
10:17 Nouman I have open this via vi
10:17 slef ZZ
10:17 slef (shift-z twice)
10:23 Nouman slef: I cant do it
10:24 Nouman when I try to do vi  /etc/koha/koha-httpd.conf
10:24 slef why not?
10:24 Nouman it is opening  but When I want to edit there become error
10:24 Nouman editing is not happeing
10:25 Nouman gedit also open the file but it cant save
10:26 Nouman shift+z twice is not saving the file
10:26 Nouman I think it is read only file and changes could not be happeing
10:31 Nouman changes are  not saving
10:34 slef yes, you maybe need to "sudo vi /etc..."
10:34 Nouman even I type to localhost  it show same msg
10:39 Nouman slef: I have changed but still show message
10:40 slef what is exact message?
10:41 Nouman http://pastebin.org/101631
10:41 Nouman on top of browser it show 404 not found
10:47 Nouman slef: r u ther?
11:01 slef back
11:01 slef ah, you mean you saved the file?
11:01 slef Did you /etc/init.d/apache2 reload ?

11:16 Nouman slef: it show error
11:17 magnus am i overdue for a bit of lunch or does http://koha-community.org/tarb[…]ha-3-2-available/ imply that http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gi[…]ranslator;hb=HEAD is missing a script called install-code.pl?
11:19 Nouman Slef It now show another error
11:19 Nouman http://pastebin.org/101644
11:20 slef magnus: it is in http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gi[…]7eb20ee5a7b7be130
11:20 slef Nouman: can you try mysql -u kohaadmin -p koha with the password you gave the installer?
11:21 saorge joined #koha
11:21 Nouman No I have give different password to installer and give here different
11:21 Nouman bz same password is not working
11:21 slef Nouman: if that fails, then you need to repeat step "2.2 Create the Koha database"
11:25 magnus slef: thanks, definitely time for lunch then...
11:26 Nouman Slef: I already create this  but password to mysql -u kohaadmin -p is changed with the installer
11:27 Nouman so is it necessary to keep same password as I given default in Makefile.PL
11:27 Nouman while  '12' in katikoan
11:27 Nouman sorry '12' in mysql
11:27 Nouman what should I do now
11:28 saorge_ left #koha
11:29 slef You could edit /etc/koha/koha-conf.xml to include the new password.
11:32 Nouman Slef: couple of thanks.. installation is in working.
11:32 Nouman I cant explain my feeling
11:32 Nouman Slef: lot of thanks again
11:33 slef It's OK.  I do this stuff all the time for software.coop
11:33 slef usually rather quicker than 3 hours ;-)
11:33 slef but then people need to pay the co-op.
11:34 Nouman IM engaging koha since last 3 months
11:34 Nouman Actually since last 6 months
11:34 Ropuch Nouman: you should have try irc earlier ;>
11:35 Nouman Yeah offcourse
11:35 Nouman what a tremendous acheivement.....
11:35 Ropuch Glad to hear you have your Koha :)
11:35 Nouman Thanks Ropuch
11:36 Nouman one error is still there so should I skip it or fix it
11:36 Nouman http://pastebin.org/101648
11:37 slef That looks to me like $KOHA is not set.
11:37 slef try replacing it with the name of your koha system user account
11:38 Nouman I kept every thing default so what should be my koha system user a/c

11:51 Nouamn I tried it also several times
11:56 Nouamn Slef: r u there?
11:56 Nouamn and should I continue installation without it or first I must fix it

12:06 slef There is no way it will show the same message

12:52 slef Have you run the web installer?

13:04 slef nengard: please don't post just to agree with your boss :-(
13:04 nengard slef - he's not my boss
13:04 slef nengard: I thought you worked for both biblibre and bywater?
13:05 nengard i'm an independant contractor who works for several companies and several libraries and several individuals
13:05 nengard my primary company is bywater
13:05 nengard and so my boss is brendan
13:06 nengard and yes bywater has a deal with biblibre and i do work for them
13:06 nengard and bywater has a contract with equinox and i do work for them
13:06 nengard and bywater has a contract with ptfs and i do work for them
13:07 slef but you have no contract with software.coop, so I'm unhappy you take sides without making your affiliation(s) clear.
13:07 Ropuch :)
13:07 nengard i'm not taking any sides
13:07 nengard that is my own opinion
13:07 nengard i enjoy seeing which companies are doing what with which libraries
13:07 nengard am i not allowed to have my own opinion because i work for a company?
13:08 slef You are allowed to have an opinion, but I think it is naughty to +1 someone you have a commercial relationship with when that isn't obvious to the most causal observer.
13:09 nengard oh please!!!
13:09 slef Why does seeing which companies are doing what with which libraries mean that it should be reposted to koha-community.org and not simply linked?
13:09 slef I don't see that at all.
13:10 slef I also don't understand why I'm locked out of koha-community.org, but I want time to try to regain access and/or talk to wizzyrea before getting too upset with that.
13:11 slef (In case anyone else can look: I got "ERROR: Incorrect password" and I've tried the "Lost your password" but it hasn't arrived.)
13:11 nengard just cause you don't agree doesn't mean you can just assume we all have anterior motives - promoting that libraries are switching to Koha is necessary to further the popularity of Koha - and if that means having the library linked to a vendor so be it - i read these releases way before i worked for any support vendor and i know many libraries that do - it's koha news as much as it's vendor news
13:11 nengard and on that note i'm going to stop this discussion cause i've had one hell of a week and i'm not in the mood to fight with anyone else
13:12 nengard left #koha
13:12 gmcharlt slef: I'll reset your password and pm you
13:13 slef gmcharlt: thanks.
13:14 slef On the context: I think nengard has a clear conflict of interest as several of us do, but new readers would not know that.
13:15 slef On the substance: I think that company X has persuaded company Y to sign a contract for koha is more often news about how persuasive the vendor sales team is and does not say much about koha.
13:16 slef I'm a bit unhappy if koha-community.org becomes simply like koha.org but shared between more companies than liblime.
13:16 gmcharlt thought the PRs do give users one piece of information when they're evaluating vendors - customers of that vendor who have not necessarily been vetted by the future as "good references"
13:18 davi They can evaluate vendors by other methods
13:19 gmcharlt doesn't mean that any possible source of information should be removed
13:20 slef How would a link to the announcement on a company site not acheive the same?
13:21 gmcharlt slef: I apologize - WP-MU is fighting with me on getting your password reset - I'm sure wizzyrea will help once she's online
13:22 gmcharlt also, it's possible the email got caught up in a spam filter
13:22 slef gmcharlt: thanks for trying.
13:22 Nate slef: this is Nate from ByWater...
13:22 slef Yes, I keep strumming the mailbox to make sure, but it's coming into one that I don't control 100%.
13:22 Nate we in no way intend our prs to be proclimations of who we sign
13:23 Nate we dont say X signed Y
13:23 Nate we say Y is using X to get Koha
13:23 Nate we title the release that way to avoid that
13:23 Nate if it is taken another way we apologise
13:24 davi Just say "Y is using Koha"
13:24 davi if you want
13:24 slef Point remains - if it has "is using X" then it should be on your site and linked, not reposted.
13:24 Nate until the community has decided which way to post releases we will hold them
13:25 Nate we will wait for the community at large to decide which semantics are appropriate adn proceed from theere
13:25 Nate we in no way intend on making this a big issue, and will do whatever we all decide is appropriate
13:26 Nate ByWater does not look at teh community site as a way to promote our company.
13:26 slef ok, but I'm not convinced that neutral point of view will prevail because I think most of koha-community are still vendor-linked, so it may need some very persuasive brass-necked people :-/
13:26 Nate If the community decides that it is appropriate to use it as such an outlet, we will graciously accept, otherwise we will refrain
13:27 slef Nate: on a related note, do you have a social media policy for your workers?
13:28 Nate I can get back to you on that
13:28 slef ok, np

14:32 munin Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4116 critical, P5, ---, henridamien@koha-fr.org, ASSIGNED, results from cataloging search is different from advanced search results
14:33 owen Oh, no, I guess that's different.
14:33 owen Cataloging search has always been different than regular search
14:34 chris_n it appears that if I search for "An Exact Title" and I have an item by that title, it appears near the bottom of the list rather than the top
14:36 owen title or keyword search?
14:36 chris_n http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2j0edl5&s=6
14:37 chris_n keyword
14:37 chris_n but it still should rank at the top
14:37 chris_n I'd think
14:37 chris_n http://i45.tinypic.com/2j0edl5.jpg # less clutter
14:39 chris_n owen: same ranking search both by title and keyword
14:40 owen I get a similar result, which I can't even explain by pointing to additional keyword hits in subject or notes fields
14:41 * chris_n wonders if the ranking algorithm is sorting backwards
14:41 chris_n try a title search
14:42 chris_n of course, if it is like most "problems," I'm simply missing the obvious ;)
14:43 owen What do you mean?
14:44 chris_n owen: the problem I'm seeing occurs when searching by title as well
14:45 chris_n hence, my thought that maybe the sorting is backwards (ie. from least relevant to most relevant)
14:46 wizzyrea slef: it won't become like koha.org if I can avoid it
14:47 chris_n can anyone else running 3.01.00.120 or greater confirm the problem with relevance ranking?
14:48 chris_n g'morning wizzyrea
14:48 wizzyrea morning koha peeps
14:48 chris_n how's the battle with the docbook format going?
14:51 slef wizzyrea: yo! Any idea what's with the password resetter? I'll go check my mailbox again.
14:52 wizzyrea I can't put any SPF records for the domain on until the DNS situation is resolved :(
14:52 wizzyrea so it's likely getting flagged/dumped as spam
14:54 slef I'm pretty sure we don't use SPF, which is broken by design.
14:54 wizzyrea oh, and there's no reverse DNS
14:55 wizzyrea yet
14:56 wizzyrea which is probably the more problematic situation of the two
14:57 slef That's more likely a problem, yes.
14:58 owen chris_n: http://screencast.com/t/MTcwYTZm
15:00 owen chris_n: And the title search: http://screencast.com/t/NzBlMjQ3NTA
15:05 chris_n hmm
15:05 chris_n it appears to be an issue with the one title I mentioned
15:05 chris_n other titles appear to sort correctly
15:06 * chris_n scratches his head
15:06 slef Do I need to ask on the mailing list or at a community meeting about fixing the koha-community.org site name?
15:07 slef Or how best to approach it?
15:07 wizzyrea what do you want it to be?
15:07 slef I was trying to come up with a globally-acceptable one... my best so far is "Koha Library Software Community"
15:07 owen I think it needs a discussion and a vote.
15:08 slef If it gets taken to a first-past-the-post vote, the US view will simply outnumber all.
15:09 wizzyrea well I actually like your suggestion, fwiw
15:09 wizzyrea not a great deal of brain cycles went into the current title
15:09 wizzyrea great number*
15:09 slef Well, I'll email it and we'll see, but I expect some flaming because we're unhappy about "open source" and "ILS" again.
15:10 slef as in "there's nothing wrong with open source" which isn't a discussion I enjoy having, as someone who was involved with the Open Source Initiative before it failed ;-)
15:10 slef having one's nose rubbed in one's mess is never fun
15:10 wizzyrea hehe
15:11 wizzyrea my thought is: it's so new, if we change it... no one will care.
15:11 wizzyrea the software is Koha, we are it's community
15:11 wizzyrea we can say it's free software and and ILS somewhere else
15:12 * wizzyrea is a beg forgiveness rather than ask permission type
15:12 collum I like your suggestion, as well.  I think the terms "open source" and "ILS" will eventually become dated.
15:12 slef let me post a "does anyone mind..." sort of thing then
15:12 wizzyrea there was literally no thought involved in titling the page
15:12 gmcharlt +1 "Koha Library Software Community"
15:13 wizzyrea nah I say don't even ask we'll just change it and ask forgiveness
15:13 wizzyrea if someone complains
15:13 wizzyrea (which I don't anticipate)

15:14 tomascohen hi, is there a consensus between koha devs
15:14 tomascohen on how to deal with XML within the project?
15:15 tomascohen I've made some examples for patron import
15:15 tomascohen using XML::Simple
15:15 tekonivel left #koha
15:15 tomascohen and, before integrating it to koha, i'd like to ask
15:16 tomascohen perhaps XML::SAX is more suitable for large data sets
15:16 tomascohen ideas? thoughts?
15:16 gmcharlt Koha uses XML::Simple in several places, but I have a slight allergy to it
15:16 owen wizzyrea: Did you see the unapi example I msged you the other day?
15:17 tomascohen nope
15:17 tomascohen wizzyrea: no
15:18 wizzyrea yes I did
15:18 wizzyrea tomascohen: ?
15:18 tomascohen gmcharlt: You prefer not to use a DOM based lib?
15:18 tomascohen wizzyrea: sory, it was a mistake, not a good IRC user yet
15:18 wizzyrea oh ;) np np
15:19 wizzyrea tomascohen: we were talking about things that were ever so slightly controversial earlier, I thought you might be voicing an opinion ^.^
15:20 gmcharlt tomascohen: didn't say that - it's more that XML::Simple can sometimes need an undue amount of fiddling to produce a consistent data structure that doesn't break on certain legal variations in the input
15:21 gmcharlt XML::LibXML or XML::SAX I think would be better for heavy-duty parsing
15:21 gmcharlt and I think it would be worth trying XML::Twig
15:22 tomascohen gmcharlt: as we provide a example csv, I plan to provide a proper xsd for checking xml consistency and help other apps devs to test their output
15:25 magnus wizzyrea: http://koha-community.org/hello-world/ still says "open source" and "ils"...
15:25 wizzyrea um... yes, it does
15:25 gmcharlt and now it doesn't
15:26 magnus great!
15:27 tomascohen wizzyrea: anything that contributes to integrate the community efforts will have my support
15:28 tomascohen that was our goal when creating the spanish-speaking koha community

15:41 paul_p what i'm looking for is avoiding a mySQL crash if someone does something silly like "SELECT * FROM biblio JOIN items" in the SQL reports
15:41 paul_p atm, if you do that, mysql builds a result set that is biblio*items large.
15:42 paul_p on a 180 000items DB, that means consume more than 8GB of data, and kill the myslq

16:54 mib_30qiay joined #koha
16:56 chobbs Or will that become populated when I import into 'issues'?
16:57 biglego left #koha
16:57 slef chobbs: it should be the due date, I think.
16:58 slef http://koha.org/documentation/[…]ds-data-migration
16:58 slef I'm not sure what "Display only field" means there.
16:59 chobbs That's what I thought, but it isn't showing them checked out. That may be because I 've not yet imported into the issues table yet - I've only imported MARC records (with 952 fields attached).
16:59 chobbs Guess I'll work on loading the issues and see if that clears it up.
17:01 gmcharlt chobbs: you'll need to both load issues and set the 952$q value to the yyyy-mm-dd due date
17:02 gmcharlt you can do the latter by using sql item update items.onloan, then running the sync_items_in_marc.pl script
17:02 chobbs good deal, thanks for the info. at least I know I have the 952$q qorking correctly in my conversion script.
17:02 chobbs cool!
17:03 slef wizzyrea: http://old.nabble.com/-Koha-an[…]14.html#a23447686
17:03 wizzyrea sweet ty
17:08 wizzyrea i've already stated that the demos should be handled differently... I'm curious about this map bit, that would be neat to include, and I think the cat/tags would clear up the support company page organization
17:08 wizzyrea localization is another issue, but patience will be required there as I'm new to WP+localization (perfectly happy and willing to learn though)
17:09 wizzyrea as it stands, I'll link to koha-fr.org
17:09 wizzyrea which needs to be done anyway
17:10 slef I don't really see how cat/tags will clear up the support company page organization because there would still be a sort order, wouldn't there?
17:11 wizzyrea mm not necessarily
17:11 wizzyrea every vendor has a post, every post has multiple tags
17:11 wizzyrea click the tags, you get only things relative to that
17:11 wizzyrea so list just the tags, only see the relevant posts
17:12 wizzyrea seewhatimean?
17:12 wizzyrea no sort
17:12 wizzyrea only tags
17:13 slef so we still have someone always top and someone always last?
17:13 cm joined #koha
17:13 wizzyrea I suppose within tags
17:14 wizzyrea but you would have a lot fewer within each tag listing
17:14 slef I think what will happen is the seller listed last on the "view all" would still be last on each tag.
17:15 cm greetings!  has anyone here tinkered with facets?  I've added the collection code to mine, but I can't figure out how to get it to display the description instead of the code.
17:15 wizzyrea I can look into randomizing the order of posts, dk what else to tell you
17:15 slef I think there are basically two good solutions: random and user-sortable.
17:16 slef I tend to think that user-sortable table and trim down the info on the community site as much as possible (almost all vendors have their own sites anyway) is the better of the two, but if you don't want me to code it, I don't mind it being something else.
17:17 wizzyrea if you have the time and the desire to code it, we can leave that as an option
17:18 * wizzyrea has something tickling her mind about a plugin that handles this kind of thing...
17:18 slef I think I looked up one plugin... I can make a table sortable with javascript, but I can't randomise the starting order or handle non-JS browsers without a plugin IIRC.
17:19 wizzyrea slef: can you give me a few days to think about the vendor page problem? I have a couple of thoughts and I'd rather not go all balls out crazy until I have a chance to think about it a little more :)
17:26 slef wizzyrea: sure.
17:27 slef wizzyrea: I think you have 85% of the info I have on it now.
17:27 wizzyrea okies cool beans
17:27 slef wizzyrea: but I have no idea what I'm doing tomorrow, so if I don't do this now, I'll probably not get time for a week!

18:08 jdavidb If you still know the barcode, it should be in the statistics log, as an "issue" transaction.
18:08 brendan looking the old_issues tables
18:09 brendan whoops -- misread the questions :)
18:09 CGI306 yes but item no is not present in old
18:09 CGI306 issues tabe
18:09 CGI306 I have barcode
18:09 CGI306 and I want to know the person who had that book last
18:09 CGI306 From Barcode I got Item number from DeletedItems table
18:10 jdavidb The item number and borrowernumber would be in the statistics table.
18:10 brendan if the item was checked out before and returned -- I'm sure that it should appear in the old_issues
18:10 CGI306 yes it is appearing but Item number is missing
18:10 brendan ahhhh
18:10 CGI306 Let me check the statistic table
18:10 brendan make sense
18:10 brendan hi jdavidb :)
18:11 brendan good day to you

18:12 wizzyrea slef: still around?
18:16 CGI306 Can I have Same Item number for different ItemType?
18:17 CGI306 because I am getting the results from statistics table but there are so many records for that.. and none of that have a borrowernumber that I am looking for

20:41 CGI833 will someone be kind enough to indicate in what way can I associate an image with a new record?
20:42 CGI833 I can't seem to find any field that allows image upload in the new record interface :P
20:42 owen There isn't.
20:42 owen What kind of image do you want to add?
20:43 CGI833 regular jpeg ou png... actually a map. the image format would be irrelevant
20:44 owen There's always the 856 tag, you could put in the URL to the location on your server where the image was stored
20:49 CGI833 thanks for the reply :) but the client wants images to be displayed along with the reference info.. since it intends to use it to catalog cartography. So I guess I'll have to search for a new system
20:50 owen It sounds like you want a digital library rather than a library catalog
20:52 CGI833 well.. the client wants a ILMS  that has images ... you know clients... they can't understand why though they can see the sun, they can't reach it :P
20:52 CGI833 thanks for the help :)
20:53 chris_n CGI833: there is some image storage functionality in Koha
20:53 chris_n but not inside marc records
20:53 chris_n we store images for patrons
20:53 CGI833 I've read in the manual
20:53 chris_n and also images for patron cards
20:53 CGI833 yes
20:53 CGI833 but I needed it to be associated with a record
20:54 chris_n the short is this: it might not be hard to take that and do some additional coding to do what you want
20:54 chris_n the db could get quite big, however
20:57 CGI833 that woud not be an issue though I truelly would rather not to have the images in the database. If I where to code it, I'd place it somewhere on the web server. they're as public as it gets anyway
20:58 CGI833 problem is the system is cgi. and i'd have to learn it

22:00 chobbs Here's a UI question: in our current ILS, when a patron card is scanned whiel checking out the prior patron, it loads the new patron and you can immediately scan items. How tough would it bne top get similar functionality in Koha?
22:01 * chobbs marvels at his typing...
22:01 chobbs I'm envisioning somethink javascripty that matches a regex for our patron barcodes and submits the proper form if it sees one.
22:03 gmcharlt would be easy to do it exactly like that
22:04 chobbs So when can I get a copy of it ;-)
22:04 gmcharlt can you program in javascripty? ;)
22:05 chobbs Not so much... not to say I couldn't learn (just) enough to figure this one out.
22:06 chobbs Assuming I got something hacked toegther, how easy is it to extend Koha so that I could enter the regex through system adminsitration
22:06 gmcharlt fairly straightforward, though a bit fiddling
22:06 chobbs iow, to make something portable enough for others to use
22:06 gmcharlt in the simplest case, you'd make a system preference
22:06 gmcharlt however, since a number of Koha users run multiple libraries in a single database
22:07 chobbs yikes, I see where that leasds :)
22:07 gmcharlt yeah ...
22:07 gmcharlt but if you want to get your feet wet, doing it as a global system preference would be a good start
22:08 chobbs But in theory, I could use a system preference for the regex and somehow incorporate the info from that into a js script and I'm off and running
22:08 chobbs Cool, somethign to do this weekend then :)
22:09 brendan wow I don't have a clue what you said or asked up their chobbs
22:10 chobbs btw, did get my issues imported and it looks pretty good. The only oddity is that OPAC shows all items checked out in the search, but the detail for a biblio looks right
22:11 chobbs brendan:  imagine a librarian checking out student after student (we're at a school). The way koha works now, they have to mouse to the patron field to process the next kid. What I'm sugegsting is that the item field would have a script attached that recognizes patron cards and lets them scan right into the book field.
22:12 chobbs So instead of scan card, scan book, scan book, click in patron field, scan card, scan book - instead they scann card, scan book, scan book, scan card, scan book, scan card, scan book, scan book, etc...
22:12 chobbs would elimiate a lot of mousing and clicking
22:13 * chobbs still marvels at his typing. Must be Friday.
22:13 brendan that's how I use the system though?
22:14 brendan i.e you wand the patron card number into checkout spot -- it loads the new borrower...  right?
22:14 chobbs only if the cursor is in the top field on the page. Once that happens, the focus moves to the item field and you have to click back to the top field to wand the next patron.
22:15 chobbs my sugegstion allows you to wand the patron card into the item box and it would automatically load the next patron. Right now you get a "The barcode was not found" error if you try that.
22:15 brendan right...
22:15 gmcharlt one barcode input field to find them ...
22:16 * brendan was thinking wrong box....
22:16 chobbs no worries - it's a bit visual to describe in irc :)
22:16 brendan :)
22:16 brendan I think we are on the same page now
22:16 chobbs now i just need to write it :)
22:17 brendan yup would be a nice improvement and greatly appreciated
22:19 chobbs gmcharlt:  any idea why opac would be showing all items checked out? See here for ex: http://koha.nhusd.k12.ca.us/cg[…]orcerer%27s+stone
22:20 brendan gmcharlt - RE: wiki  - how much of the old info are you looking to bring over?  or just assign someone to be responsible for porting a page/section on old wiki --> to new_update_awesome_koha_community wiki...
22:23 gmcharlt chobbs: you may need to reindex
22:23 chobbs i'll give that a shot
22:23 chobbs at least it won't blow up with my thousands of adapters again :)
22:24 gmcharlt brendan: I'm neutral on that question, really
22:24 brendan yeah it seems that parts are useful and others...  I could care less about
22:24 gmcharlt I'm happy to bring over old content if we can get a recentish dump
22:25 gmcharlt or reconstruct it from the various crawls that people have been making
22:25 gmcharlt but there's a lot to be said for start with a blank slate and just manually copying over the good bits
22:26 gmcharlt and of course, the answer to that question may well be different for en vs ua vs es vs fr, etc.
22:26 brendan yup, that's the big key there
