00:54 nml joined #koha
00:55 nml Hey guys, I recently downloaded the alpha2 release
00:55 nml But am experiencing a bug which I'm wondering if you have encountered before
00:55 nml When I attempt to add a new Label Template, I get the error
00:55 nml Undefined subroutine &main::GetAllLabelTemplates called at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-​bin/labels/label-templates.pl line 57.
01:25 chris_n nml: is this a fresh install? or an upgrade?
01:27 nml this is an upgrade from 3.00.04
01:38 chris_n something appears messed up then
01:39 chris_n adding a new template works fine on a clean install of alpha2
01:39 nml Would it be possible for, rather than using 'make upgrade' but 'make install' at the downloaded alpha2 code to install it fresh?
01:40 chris_n did you install from a tarball?
01:40 nml yes
01:40 nml Well, sorta
01:40 nml yes, actually :P
01:41 chris_n did you 'perl Makefile.PL --prev-install-log /path/to/koha-install-log' ?
01:41 nml Yes
01:41 chris_n and where there any errors when the web installer ran?
01:42 nml There were errors, but only that the tables only existed
01:43 nml I have a backup of my DB
01:43 chris_n good
01:43 nml But I am re-installing the alpha from scratch as I speak
01:44 chris_n that is probably best as it looks like maybe your C4 libraries may have been messed up or something like that
01:44 nml ok
01:45 chris_n larsw: it sounds like your dump script could easily be called from inside the staff client to do an "on demand" dump of the db
01:45 larsw chris_n, yes, except for performance issues
01:45 larsw but it would be the library doing it to themselves, so that'd be ok
01:46 chris_n right; I suspect such a dump could be painful in terms of resources, but hopefully it would be a sort of tool of last resort
01:47 * chris_n imagines the staff client option as more insurance than a regularly used tool
01:48 nml chris_n: is there an easy way to get rid of all of the koha files on my system?
01:48 nml Both alpha and released files
01:50 chris_n I'm not 100% sure where the standard install sticks things, but yes it should be possible

03:52 kornelson look

03:53 larsw kornelson, sorry, I do not know what the problem is -- I'm new to this stuff myself
03:53 kornelson humm
03:54 kornelson some koha expert
03:54 larsw sounds like a problem with the database interface, though
03:54 larsw are you running mysql or postgres?
03:54 kornelson mysql
03:54 kornelson i find a manual
03:54 kornelson for koha instalation and in the instrucctions puts mysql for db manage
03:56 kornelson hello?
03:56 larsw I don't really know what to look for, sorry
03:59 kornelson i'm look some expert in koha instalation :s

04:06 Amit joined #koha
04:06 Amit heya brendan, chris
04:07 chilts kornelson: as I said people will help if they can, and at the moment I can't ... sorry
04:08 kornelson :(
04:08 kornelson ok
04:08 chilts personally though, it looks like a problem with DBD::MySQL (like an old version or something)
04:08 chilts maybe not installed correctly
04:08 kornelson i don't know how to fix the problem.
04:08 chilts AutoCommit should have been around for ages, so I think that's a sympton of something else
04:08 chilts me neither I'm afraid
04:10 kornelson :O
04:12 genji hmm..
04:12 chilts have you got DBI and DBD::MySQL installed?
04:12 genji im getting a http::oai test fail
04:13 kornelson y supuse
04:13 kornelson supouse
04:13 kornelson mysql yes
04:13 kornelson but dbi i don't know
04:13 chilts I think you _do_ have DBI, but what about DBD::MySQL
04:13 chilts ?
04:14 larsw would this be the way to test that, chilts: perl -e 'use DBD::MySQL;'
04:14 chilts perl -MDBD::MySQL -e '1'
04:15 chilts it'll either return nothing or explode :)
04:15 kornelson Can't locate DBD/MySQL.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .). BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
04:15 chilts that's your first problem then
04:15 chilts install DBD::MySQL
04:15 kornelson how to chilts
04:15 kornelson sorry
04:15 chilts good idea larsw
04:15 chilts what OS are you on?
04:15 kornelson it's my first time with this
04:15 kornelson debian
04:15 kornelson lenny
04:16 chilts sudo apt-get install libdbd-mysql-perl
04:16 chilts hmm, I fear you'll run into a lot of those problems if this one got you
04:16 kornelson jejej sorry
04:16 kornelson ok chilts
04:17 kornelson look
04:18 kornelson libdbd-mysql-perl ya está en su versión más reciente.
04:18 genji anyone know about http oai badbytes?
04:18 kornelson i have the most recent version
04:21 chris i think its lower case
04:22 chris perl -MDBD::mysql -e '1'
04:22 chris try that
04:22 chilts but if it is installed, the why is it blowing up in C4::Auth?
04:22 chris its autocommit that is spazzing
04:23 chilts there is something strange afoot at the Circle K
04:23 chris yeah what i would try
04:23 chris is apt-get remove libdbd-mysql-perl
04:23 chris cpan DBD::mysql
04:24 genji okay, im trying to install koha 3.0.6 and HTTP::OAI is failing its badbytes test.
04:24 genji so,, won't install.
04:26 chris http://markmail.org/thread/i6wzmspwpttoyyvg
04:26 chris seems others have had this problem, ive never run into it before though
04:26 kornelson chris i remove libdbd-mysql-perl ?
04:26 genji ah.. not for me, that mail... hmm...
04:26 Amit heya genji
04:27 kornelson chilts
04:30 genji hey amit.
04:30 brendan hey amit
04:30 genji gah.... what does http::oai have to do with bad bytes?
04:32 kornelson fuck. sorry but i don't know what to do
04:32 kornelson with this error
04:33 kornelson :( i'm desesperated
04:33 chris try apt-get remove libdbd-mysql-perl
04:33 chris then install it again
04:34 chilts sounds like there is something weird with your system
04:34 chilts yeah, try that :)
04:34 chris im not sure it will do anything
04:34 chris but other people seemed to think it worked :)
04:34 genji .... -sigh-
04:35 kornelson ok
04:35 kornelson jejejej
04:35 kornelson i try but appear other error

04:37 kornelson what command shows mysql is still running
04:37 cait joined #koha
04:38 chris are you getting these errors when running the web installer?
04:38 kornelson nop.
04:38 chris where?
04:38 kornelson ok wait i reboot my machine
04:39 chris have you run the web installer?
04:39 chris no dont do that
04:39 kornelson that errors ocurred when i type http://127.0.1.1:8080
04:39 cait good morning all
04:39 chris ah so you are running the web installer, ok cool
04:39 chris id do a
04:39 kornelson chris i don't know what happend with mysql
04:40 chris sudo /etc/init.d/mysql-server restart
04:40 kornelson jojo mysql-server no existe el fichero o el directorio
04:40 kornelson :S
04:40 kornelson no appear
04:41 chris ls /etc/init.d
04:41 kornelson in init.d the files are mysql and others but not mysql server
04:41 chris try just mysql then
04:41 kornelson ok
04:42 kornelson ok i type the command but nothing happend, but before the command works, ok i reboot the machine, i work in a virtual machine
04:42 chris worth a try
04:42 kornelson please wait 2 minutes
04:42 kornelson thanks
04:42 chilts sounds like a broken machine to me
04:42 chris normally you dont connect to it on the socket anyway, but on a port
04:42 kornelson broken machine? what tha means?
04:43 chilts maybe it's also the networking between his machine (where he is trying http://127.0.1.1:8080) and the virtual machine
04:43 chilts that's what I reckon
04:43 chris could be
04:43 kornelson yes i write the sentence but the error still appear
04:43 kornelson :S
04:44 kornelson koha error
04:44 chilts kornelson: do you have MySQL and Koha on the same machine (either physical or virtual)?
04:44 kornelson can¡'t conect to local mysql server
04:44 kornelson yes
04:44 kornelson in the same machine
04:44 chilts and that's the virtual machine?
04:44 chris still using the socket?
04:44 kornelson i'm installed debian lenny in a virtual machine with virtualbox
04:44 chilts hmm, see if you can connect to mysql from the command line ... I forget what the command args are though
04:45 kornelson and i tray to configure in local the koha instalation
04:45 chris mysql -uusername -p koha
04:45 chris so probably
04:45 chilts chris: would he need a port in that somewhere?
04:45 chris mysql -ukohaadmin -p koha
04:45 chilts ah cool
04:45 kornelson hey
04:45 kornelson mysql not work
04:45 kornelson mysql command not found
04:45 kornelson :( i don't know what happend

04:46 kornelson before mysql works
04:46 chilts sudo apt-get install mysql-client

12:36 schuster Howdy all.
12:36 jdavidb hi, schuster!
12:36 schuster jdavidb - that line of code did wonders for my inventory and I have some very excited librarians.  imagine that one... Scarry.
12:37 jdavidb Awesome.  :)
12:37 kmkale what the heck is 620$a anyone?
12:37 jdavidb Bring some of that excitement with you to ALA, eh?
12:37 jdavidb @marc 620
12:37 munin` jdavidb: unknown tag 620
12:37 kmkale none here too http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd6xx.html
12:38 schuster kmkale - pulling out my handy MARC bibliographic ... There isn't such a thing.
12:38 kmkale i have it slapped on as keywords
12:38 jdavidb In Unimarc, it is the "Printer of illustrations or designs from plates"
12:38 schuster So what do you have in that tag currently? - ah ... Unimarc.
12:38 kmkale any idea where keywords should go?
12:38 kmkale no its marc21
12:39 schuster What's in it?  maybe it was coded wrong and should be a 520 - summary?
12:39 jdavidb schuster++
12:39 kmkale sample data "Microcomputer,Central Processing Unit, Secondary Storage, Techniques of Programming "
12:40 jdavidb that sounds like a 650 Subject.
12:41 schuster not authorized... very odd - where did the data come from?
12:41 jdavidb (kinda sloppy to be an LCSH heading, but it's structured more-or-less right.
12:41 kmkale Title from the above sample data in 620$a is " A Guide to Fortran Programming"
12:41 schuster Does your record have a 040? - that is supposed to help track where it "came from"
12:42 gmcharlt kmkale: your 620 looks like a local field for topical keywords
12:42 kmkale no schuster its a very slipshod marc data I need to port to Koha
12:42 tomascohen joined #koha
12:42 kmkale would you say it looks better for 650 then?
12:43 gmcharlt for a slightly better place to stick the 620, I'd recommend a 690, which is more commonly used for local, uncontrolled subject terms
12:43 kmkale will 690 show up in subjects in opac?
12:43 schuster It does look better for a 690 - just hope they never think of doing authority work...:)
12:43 gmcharlt hmm, or better yet, 653
12:44 gmcharlt @marc 653
12:44 munin` gmcharlt: An index term added entry that is not constructed by standard subject heading/thesaurus-building conventions. (Repeatable) [a,6,8]
12:44 munin` is now known as munin
12:44 kmkale :) they havent heard of authority yet and its only for opac in granthalaya.org
12:45 schuster Might recommend that library run a report on those after they migrate and explore "new" standard records for their data...  But again if they are not stickler librarians then it won't matter.
12:45 schuster gmcharlt 653++
12:46 kmkale schuster: they wont be using Koha for staff use yet. Its only for the union catalouge at granthalaya.org
12:46 schuster kmkale - if you can break that string into mulitples it might help in the long run.  ie  4 different 653 tags.
12:47 kmkale I can break it up on the ,'s will the broken up terms then be more useful in some other tag?
12:50 kmkale huh 520 is grandly assigned to a column called remarks
12:50 schuster no it just makes it easier in the long run if they do need to change something or there are common terms in a subject type browse.
12:50 kmkale :(
12:51 schuster 520's are generally a "summary" of what the book is about - often found with fiction books and they don't have subject headings.
12:51 schuster I would again go for the 653
12:51 kmkale right thanks schuster gmcharlt
12:54 kmkale one more please I have a column titled Subject. data is "History" or "Grammer" or "Essay" or "Encyclopedia" etc etc. would you say 655?

13:07 jwagner Got a philosophical question of sorts for people.  See Bug 3788, where I did a patch to make the OPAC obey the staff viewISBD syspref.  I've also had requests to turn off display of the MARC View and Expanded MARC View in the OPAC.
13:08 munin Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3788 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, jmf@liblime.com, RESOLVED FIXED, XSLT does not obey viewISBD syspref
13:08 owen OpacUserCSS
13:08 jwagner There are staff sysprefs controlling these -- viewMARC and viewLabeledMARC.  However, I figured out how to hide them in OPAC with jquery.  Would OPAC sysprefs be preferable, or stick with jquery?
13:09 jwagner (OPAC does not obey the existing staff sysprefs)
13:09 owen jwagner: I think that if we offer a switch to turn off one view, we should offer switches for the others as well
13:10 owen If someone wants to set the bibliodefaultview to ISBD and eliminate other choices that should be possible (even if I think they're crazy)
13:10 jwagner That's what I was kind of thinking -- for consistency & ease of understanding.  But since these _can_ be hidden with jquery, I wanted to get people's feelings on it.
13:13 jwagner While I'm at it, I want to do some sysprefs to turn off some more of the tabs in OPAC patron account -- I have a couple of sites that don't want the account info itself visible/editable.  I figured out how to hide the submit button so patrons can't submit changes, but hiding the whole tab is preferable.
13:13 jwagner (These sites get automatic patron loads and don't want the data changed)
13:14 jwagner I'm thinking either change the markup to add IDs to all the tabs (don't think there are now), or sysprefs for them.
13:15 gmcharlt jwagner: one suggestion for the sysprefs - rather than have an on/off syspref for each variation of such things, a single syspref (e.g., an OPACBibViews) that had a list of checkboxes would be more compact
13:15 gmcharlt ditto for things like the patron account tabs
13:15 gmcharlt it would require a bit of coding as well to have a generic 'choices' syspref option
13:16 jwagner That kind of edges into something I've been thinking about, but don't know how to do -- instead of having the OPAC layout controlled by a lot of sysprefs, take all that into a separate configuration page.
13:17 gmcharlt yeah, I think somebody (wizzyrea?) mentioned the idea of having OPAC configuration be done using a more widget-based approach, a la WordPress
13:17 jwagner It would certainly make new installs easier -- present the site with all the options in one place
13:18 jwagner Right now the relevant sysprefs are scattered around, mostly under OPAC but some under searching and I think some under patron & admin.
13:18 jwagner (Enhanced Content would have to be its own separate page, I think)

13:36 nahuel kyle_away, ping
13:39 schuster owen - or others question...  On the borrower - print - not the slip but the full record - it doesn't have barcode, but has "format".  Is that easy to change?  I can't figure out where that is being called from.

13:40 bgkriegel joined #koha
13:40 owen "format" is definitely incorrect, since not all libraries use collection codes as format designators
13:42 nengard_ jwagner - just catching up
13:42 nengard_ when you talk about the patron account are you talking about the info about the patron? or the 'fines' ?

13:42 nengard_ talking to jwagner
13:43 schuster ok :) smiles to you...

13:43 owen I would think it would be a worthwhile change to make officially
13:44 * jdavidb shudders a little
13:44 * owen is pretty sure that template hasn't been changed in years
13:44 schuster I'll see about getting my support company to do that submission as I don't have anything close to head right now.
13:45 jwagner Sorry, folks, got pulled away for a quickie meeting, catching up.
13:45 jwagner nengard, yes, that would do what I want for patron details.
13:46 owen Item call number would be better to show than item type
13:46 jwagner I think I may go ahead and just add markup IDs to all the tabs so people can hide individual ones if needed.
13:47 owen jwagner: Aren't they already marked with IDs?
13:48 jwagner owen, doesn't look like it.
13:49 owen Are you talking about the tabs on opac-detail for Normal, MARC, etc?
13:51 jwagner owen, sorry, conflating two different suggestions.  The opac-detail tabs have IDs, but the patron account tabs don't
13:52 jwagner And just to make schuster and jdavidb REALLY shudder -- I think it would be most useful if the circ slips (and acq suggestion messages) got transformed into notice files, so libraries could edit the text themselves :-)
13:53 * jdavidb shudders a little more.
13:54 schuster Doesn't make me shudder makes me go hmmm great idea!  My librarians really like the format of this moremembers-print.tmpl - if only I could force a run of ID's through it to get printouts on demand...
13:55 owen Nice idea schuster

17:58 chrisd I've loaded 10000 records with zebraqueue off and then after the load I turned it on and it was putting a load on the processor.  Then I turned it off and ran rebuild_zebra.pl and then turned it on again and was ok
17:58 libtek Does this happen to anyone else?  When I import a record from z39.50 and then add an item, I end up with two bibs for the item and the item is attached to one of them, and the other bib has no holdings.
17:59 chrisd Is this the order i'm supposed to do it in?  Load records -> rebuild_zebra.pl -> Turn zebraqueue on

18:04 libtek Nice.  Anyone know if this is something that has to be corrected in IE, or in Koha?
18:05 owen I've only begun to look at the bug, and I don't know where the problem lies yet.
18:05 libtek owen: are you the Owen L that commented on this bug?
18:05 jdavidb there can be only one!
18:06 owen libtek: Yes
18:06 owen libtek: But I don't know that I tried to add an item at the same time as you say you did
18:07 libtek owen: I was just going to mention that.  I think that might be where part of the issue lies.
18:07 * owen tries it
18:08 libtek I'll try adding the bib and then adding the holding later and see if there is any difference.
18:11 chris_n chrisd: you should never run zebraqueue daemon; setup rebuild_zebra.pl to run as a cronjob every N minutes where N is whatever works for your catalogers
18:15 chrisd chris_n: ok.  so rebuild_zebra.pl is what adds the record to the index?
18:15 chris_n correct
18:18 chrisd chris_n: but zebraqueue is supposed to run at startup?
18:20 chris_n chrisd: you should permanently remove zebraqueue
18:20 chris_n ie. never run it, ever
18:20 chris_n :)
18:22 libtek owen: yep, the bug is specific to adding the holding at the same time you add the bib.  It behaves much better adding it separately.  Too bad. :( Doing both at the same time really streamlined things.
18:22 libtek at least there is a work around.  Using another browser is not an option unfortunately.
18:23 chrisd chris_n: :) ok still confused as to why it's in the instructions then.  I'm missing the big picture bear with me.
18:23 owen libtek: Definitely unfortunate. IT policy?
18:24 libtek chrisd: you are not alone.  I suffered the same problem when I was getting things up (a day or two ago!)
18:24 libtek owen: yep
18:24 owen (the most security-backwards IT policy ever)
18:25 chris_n chrisd: there are patches in the queue to remove references to zebraqueue from the INSTALL documentation
18:25 chris_n it is deprecated due to an unresolved memory leak among other issues
18:25 libtek chris_n: woohoo!  :)
18:26 * chris_n thinks one zebra is hard enough to handle, much less a whole queue of them ;-)
18:26 chrisd chris_n cool.  Thanks for the help

18:27 libtek by the way, I changed out the -z switch with the -r switch instead on the rebuild in crontab, and the job is reindexing properly now.  Don't know why it doesn't work per the instructions.
18:28 chris_n libtek: I seem to recall similar issues caused by permission problems: everything zebra related must be owned by your kohauser
18:29 libtek as far as I know, it is.  I'm not changing anything else when running the rebuild, so I'm not sure why -r will do it and -z won't.
18:30 libtek when I run it manually, I get the same results.  If I use the -z it doesn't work, but the -r switch does.  From the koha user.

18:42 owen Hi nelsonlib, I work at the Nelsonville Public Library. Do you too?
18:43 nelsonlib However, I am experiencing a problem where I can see that the record has items in the 'Search' view, but no holdings or items are displayed in the record details
18:43 nelsonlib So I suppose, the question is: what DB tables need to be filled in order for all of the appropriate information to appear

18:43 nelsonlib owen: I work at the Nelson Memorial Library around Worcester, MA
18:43 owen :)
18:44 joetho It's evidently a Nelson thing.
18:44 nelsonlib Hah possibly
18:45 owen nelsonlib: The items table is the one which stores holdings.
18:46 owen Take the biblionumber from one of the titles in your search results which says it has items. Query the items table based on that
18:46 owen If your zebra index isn't up to date it might be showing you items which aren't there.
18:47 * owen isn't sure a zebra index could be out of date based on a previous install?
18:47 nelsonlib Ok, let me take a look at my items table

19:18 jwagner Speaking of the wiki, see http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?[…]c32_multiple_opac -- I see it says you can limit by item type or collection code.  Does anyone know if you can limit by multiple collection codes?
19:25 hdl_laptop wizzyrea gmcharlt: I thought there was a discussion on koha-devel recently about enhancement workflow.
19:25 owen Whoa that enhancement submission diagram is a monster!
19:26 wizzyrea Those are just ones being brought over from the old wiki
19:26 chris gmcharlt: i did some work on download.koha-community.org last night, wizzyrea might have to fix it
19:26 wizzyrea we may need to update it
19:26 gmcharlt cool

19:26 wizzyrea oh hey, you got ahead of me lol

20:09 CGI266 Hello?
20:10 CGI266 Any one there?
20:11 hdl_laptop yes
20:11 CGI266 Have a question about the new release of Koha
20:11 hdl_laptop chrisdroid: HAPPY BIRTHDAY in the buss
20:12 CGI266 REad somewhere that is was going to have a recon feature for scanning an entire catalog.  did it make it in?
20:13 chrisdroid Thanks :)
20:15 chrisdroid 3.0.6 was going to have that?
20:15 chrisdroid Or are you asking about the upcoming 3.2.0?
20:16 CGI266 I just loaded 3.0.6 and am trying to find any information related to the function
20:16 CGI266 might have been reading about 3.2.0
20:19 chrisdroid 3.0.6 is a stable bugfix release so won't have new features
20:19 chrisdroid Its not ringing bells for 3.2 either .... gmcharlt?
20:20 gmcharlt chrisdroid: no bells ringing in my mind either
20:20 joetho I just killed all my 005 tags
20:21 CGI266 I have several libraries on Follett Destiny now.  Big feature needed is to clean up records to a standardized format.  They would like to do the entire catalog at one time.
20:21 CGI266 Destiny does have this feature so  it will be hard to get the librarians off of it, but the cost of the system is stagering.
20:21 joetho that is an ugly job, cgi266
20:21 chrisdroid Id use marcedit for that
20:22 joetho good call numbers?
20:22 chrisdroid Or you could script it
20:22 CGI266 The Follett recon does it by scanning outside z39.50 sources adn allows you to accept the changes into your system
20:23 CGI266 It will do the entire catalog or segments en-bulk, not one at a time
20:23 chrisdroid Or for some fraction of ur license costs could hire a developer to write that
20:23 CGI266 possibility
20:24 chrisdroid its not hard I've done it on the cli, building a nice interface is the trick
20:24 chrisdroid And that helps all koha users:)
20:25 CGI266 does not have to be pretty for now, just functional adn reliable
20:26 chrisdroid Well it will need an interface nicer than the commandline :)
20:27 chrisdroid But for now marcedit will do it
20:27 chrisdroid Export a batch or records
20:27 chrisdroid Change them
20:27 chrisdroid Import them choosing to replace
20:27 CGI266 even if it is run occasionally by a sysadmin on request, it would only need to be run about once a year if that.  usually it would get run after a transition from another ILS
20:28 chrisdroid But id do the cleanup as part of the migration
20:28 joetho I am importing 13,000 records and my 005 tags are now jacked up, no idea what happened. ...Anyone know what happens if I change all my 005 tags to the same number?
20:28 joetho (the 13,000 records have bad 005 tags now)
20:29 CGI266 does marcedit have a seach/correct record function?  Have to look at that one again.
20:29 joetho I don't see anything wrong with making them all some date last week or something
20:29 chrisdroid Ie no point loading bad records, ok bus ride over back in a bit
20:29 chrisdroid left #koha
20:29 gmcharlt joetho: it affect the bib record date/time last modified search, but that wouldn't be a big deal
20:30 joetho oh I can change them in marcedit easy enough, but I REALLY donm't want to have to try and restore them to their original 005 tag.
20:30 francharb left #koha
20:30 joetho right- I could pick some date last week or something.
20:31 joetho actually, I should do that anyway, because I modified the bedonkey out of all of em.
20:31 CGI266 It is the date the record  was first put in elect format, does not really affect the needed portions - http://www.loc.gov/marc/holdings/hd005.html
20:31 joetho hmmmm, wonder if that's how they got all crazy.
20:32 joetho I thought it was the date modiffied- the originals have all sorts of dates, including verrrrry recent
20:32 joetho Marc records make me crazy.
20:33 CGI266 I found a title of ....Last transaction but a definition of ....first put in .....
20:34 schuster @later tell jdavidb - yes use line was missing.
20:34 munin schuster: The operation succeeded.
20:34 CGI266 MARC is strange!
20:34 schuster left #koha
20:34 gmcharlt CGI266: date the record was last updated, to be precise, not just when it was first created
20:34 richard joined #koha
20:34 richard hi
20:34 gmcharlt CGI266: you may be thinking of the 008/00-06
20:36 CGI266 I was looking on the link above.  MARC is still strange!
20:39 libtek I'm searching bugs, but not finding this one: Placed a hold on an on shelf item.  Holds to Pull report shows the item, but there is a listing below (doesn't matter how many items) called undefined.  Doesn't appear if there are no holds waiting.
20:39 libtek Anyone see this?

22:47 chris http://koha.org/documentation/[…]3.0/tools/notices
22:52 libtek chris: Thanks.  Those are notices.  What I would like to modify (if possible) is the hold slip that prints when the hold is triggered.  Not the notification to the patron for pickup.
22:53 wizzyrea you have to modify those in the template
22:54 libtek Would you be able to point me to where the templates reside?
22:54 libtek Please.  :)

22:59 genji HTTP::OAI tests bad, so it won't install
23:00 genji 03badbytes.t, the second test of 3.
23:00 chris get the .deb from squeeze and try that instead
23:00 genji deb of?
23:00 chris http::oai
23:01 genji hmm..okay. how do i get it?
23:02 chris or you can just install it from the commandline
23:02 chris genji: from packages.debian.org
23:02 chris you might be better off just grabbing the tarball from cpan
23:03 chris and installing it from the commandline
23:03 genji tried manually installing it from the tarball cpan downloaded... still errors.
23:04 chris yes
23:04 chris just make install
23:05 genji force it?
23:05 genji the badbytes test is unimportant?
23:05 chris probably not
23:05 chris but if you arent planing to use http::oai and its stopping you doing something else
23:05 chris id ignore it
23:06 Nate left #koha
23:06 genji i believe its designed to filter out bad bytes before it gets to the xml parser.. and kills that records processing.
23:06 genji what part of koha uses http::oai?
23:06 chris the oai-pmh part
23:07 chris im 99% certain that if you dont know what that is, you wont be using it ;)
23:07 genji okay.. what is oai-pmh?
23:07 chris right you arent using it
23:07 chris :)
23:07 chris google will tell you that
23:07 genji is it mentioned in the installer?
