Hi #koha |

jdavidb |
Hi, owen. :) |
12:33 |
|
owen |
Anyone here have any advice about conducting inventory? |
12:33 |
|
jdavidb |
"Doctor, it hurts when we do this." "Then don't do that." |
12:34 |
|
owen |

12:35 |
|
jdavidb |
hehehe. |
12:35 |
|
jdavidb |
In nearly 20 years in Library IT, on three different ILSes, I've not yet seen a way to do inventory that didn't involve a substantial amount of pain and suffering. |
12:36 |
|
owen |
jdavidb: Have you had any Koha clients conduct inventory using the built-in inventory tool? |
12:37 |
|
jdavidb |
I haven't heard of any of our customers trying it yet, no. A couple have talked about it a little, but not seriously. Whether that's out of FUD from having done it on other systems, or because of lack of other resources to execute, I can't say. |
12:38 |
|
jdavidb |
It seems to be one of those tools that everyone wants their ILS to have, but no one actually *wants* to use. |
12:41 |

owen |
We've gone too long without an inventory, so we're going to take the plunge |
12:42 |
|
owen |
The basic needs are pretty easily met: Check everything in, do a report on which items haven't been seen |
12:42 |
|
jdavidb |
'bout like Unicorn's system, then. Mark everything "seen", then look for things that aren't checked out, but haven't been "seen" since before you started wanding items. |
12:43 |
|
owen |
Right. I think the only thing we're going to want which isn't built in is a mass update of items not found. A global "missing in inventory" lost setting for those items. |
12:44 |
|
jdavidb |
If you can snag the barcodes of all those items, should be easy enough to write a little script to shove 'em all past C4::Items::ModItem for that. |
12:46 |
|
jdavidb |
C4::Items::ModItem++ # it takes care of marc and marcxml 952s, and reindexes when necessary, very intelligently. |

so with rfid, one presumably could just walk down the stacks and inventory would be automagic? |
13:34 |

That's what we were told in 2001 or whenever we first heard about RFID at the library |
13:34 |

In fact we were told that RFID would shelf-read for us too |

shelf-read == tell if it is on the shelf or not? |

Shelf reading is traditionally the reward shelvers receive when there's nothing left to shelve. |

hi paul_p |

If there is a stack of items with RFID tags? |
13:47 |
|
owen |
collum: I think they pick up everything within their range without any sequence, but I don't really know |
13:47 |
|
gmcharlt |
collum: I think it's less specific - distince of tag from scanner |
13:47 |
|
gmcharlt |
I don't know how directional it is |
13:47 |
|
collum |
I always wondered, but never investigated. |
13:50 |
|
chris_n |
collum: it depends on the language the rfid tags are encoded in.... ;-) |

hi all |
14:30 |
|
juan |
i would like to talk about apache proxy and how session.pm handle ip remote addresses |
14:32 |
|
juan |
when koha runs though a proxy server |
14:32 |
|
juan |
it detects the ip from this proxy, not the real ip address of the visitor |
14:32 |
|
juan |
and this is a problem, because Auth.pm do not works well |
14:33 |
|
* chris_n |
seems to remember the need to setup the x-forward header |
14:33 |
|
chris_n |
but I've never messed with apache proxy |
14:33 |
|
chris_n |
only squid |
14:33 |
|
juan |
but i think is the same situation |
14:34 |
|
chris_n |
juan: maybe this will help: http://devcentral.f5.com/weblo[…]8/06/02/3323.aspx |
14:34 |
|

i think Squid send the real ip in HTTP_FORWARED_FOR variable |
14:35 |
|
chris_n |
s/x-forward/x-forwarded-for/ |
14:35 |
|
juan |
i solved it changing Auth.pm and CGI/Session.pm |
14:35 |
|
juan |
but i dont know if it was the better way |
14:37 |

On this page: http://koha-community.org/category/3-2/ |
14:37 |

The entry for Feb 3 reads: Tarballs of Koha 3.2 alpha available |
14:37 |
|
rhcl |
But all the links are for 3.02. Is I missing something? |
14:38 |
|
chris_n |
C4::Auth.pm and C4::Session.pm could be made to also check x-forwarded-for based on a syspref perhaps |
14:38 |
|
rhcl |
I suppose 3.02 may be the pre 3.2, but maybe a quick line there could explain that? |
14:39 |

Nevermind, if you read the third entry there's a quick reference to that. |

Another comments question - how does a patron delete a comment that has been approved? Is there a "my comments" tab that I'm just not seeing? |
14:40 |
|
chris_n |
opps... but in any case, a fix to Koha's libs would certainly be welcomed I'm sure |
14:42 |
|
chris_n |
juan: actually, that link to perlmonks probably does not apply here |
14:42 |
|
gmcharlt |
Sharon: oddly, that facility doesn't current exist |
14:43 |
|
juan |
chris_n: yes ..., I think koha does not take into account running it though a proxy |
14:43 |
|
Sharon |
might have to put in an enhancement bug for that. There doesn't seem to be any easy way to delete an approved comment by either the patron or the librarian |

and if I dont have to change Session.pm from cpan, is better ... |

question :) I need to change the shelving location for a call range in 3.1.61 (no batch editing) - is there an easy way to do this? will it be enough to change items table and reindex? |
14:56 |
|
jdavidb |
kf, you would save yourself some pain and suffering by getting the itemnumbers, and feeding them to C4::Items::ModItem. That would take care of the marc/marcxml changes, and the indexing, all in one run. |

hi all |
14:57 |
|
jmill2010 |
i have a question :) |
14:57 |
|
kf |
jdavidb: not sure I know enough perl |
14:58 |
|
kf |
jdavidb: will the other method work too? |
14:58 |
|
jdavidb |
The other method won't change the marc/marcxml, so reindexing would not do any good. |
14:59 |
|
jdavidb |
you'd need to run misc/maintenance/sync_items_in_marc_bib.pl, which would clean up the marc/marcxml, and reindex for you. |
14:59 |
|
kf |
hm. ok, so I need to update marcxml and item in the database |
14:59 |
|
jmill2010 |
some students (patrons) are allowed to check out certain books for the entire semester, how would you set that up in Koha, or is it a matter of just having the option to override at circ |
14:59 |
|
kf |
is this script save in a production environment? |
15:00 |
|
jdavidb |
yep. I've used it several times. |
15:00 |
|
jdavidb |
it treats the item-table stuff as official, and recreates the 952s from it for all biblios. |
15:00 |
|
kf |
jdavidb: I think this is the easiest way for us right now - thank you :) |
15:01 |
|
jdavidb |
(and it pumps them into zebraqueue, so they'll reindex automatically.) |
15:01 |
|
jdavidb |
you be4tcha. |

i mean it can be any student, depending on financial need, and it can be any type of book, depending on availability |

jmill2010: If it's a random combination of circumstances you'll probably have to use the "specify due date" widget on the circulation page |
