07:49 chris heh
07:49 kf :)
07:49 chris larsw: have the heater on tonight? cold southerly coming in
07:49 larsw chris, aye
07:50 paul rough translation. better one : "soccer, it's 22 men running after a round ball and trying to score a goal, and, at the end, germany wins"
07:50 larsw we won't be cold, I got my benchmark machine up and running and it's burning the cpu all night now :)
07:50 chris :)
07:50 kf not sure we will win, but it was a good start yesterday

07:52 * paul has found the traveling to auckland will cost 1800� and take 30 hours (for each of us)
07:52 chris is that return?
07:53 chris because that seems like a lot

15:50 librarian hello, can someone tell how best to update Koha or can point me in the right direction
15:51 librarian I'm going to update koha 3.0.1 to 3.0.6 but I can't be any documentation on how to update ... Am I suppose to install it all over again?
15:52 librarian *I can't find any
15:53 wizzyrea you should be able to download the new package, unzip it, then run the installer and ask to "upgrade"
15:53 wizzyrea which should preserve your koha-conf and zebra settings and whatnot
15:54 wizzyrea caveat: I haven't done it, because I use dev installs and do updates through git
15:58 sekjal librarian: if you've downloaded 3.0.6 in a compressed folder, and you're doing a production installation, you can find upgrade instructions in the INSTALL files included in the download
15:58 sekjal the instructions consist of:
15:58 sekjal perl Makefile.PL --prev-install-log /path/to/koha-install-log
15:58 sekjal make
15:58 sekjal make test
15:58 sekjal sudo make upgrade
15:59 librarian thank you so much
15:59 sekjal gladly.  :)

16:39 Owner hi folks
16:39 Owner I am installing koha for an ngo
16:40 Owner they have succesfully entered some items
16:40 Owner they are running 3.0.6
16:40 Sharon joined #koha
16:41 Owner when they go to create a batch to print labels we cannot get the results for all items added between certain dates
16:41 Owner any ideas?
16:41 Owner I checked the documentation
16:42 Owner by I can't kind the syntax to add all items added between a certain date
16:45 wizzyrea so you clicked add items to batch
16:45 librarian i have the same problem
16:46 wizzyrea and you see "barcode", added on or after and added on or before
16:46 wizzyrea and if you put a date in each, it returns nothing?
16:46 Owner yes
16:47 Owner if I select barcode
16:47 wizzyrea sadly it works in both systems I have access too, but neither are exactly 2.0.6
16:47 wizzyrea 3.0.6, i mean
16:47 wizzyrea to*
16:47 wizzyrea wow that was a typo festival
16:47 Owner I went with the latest stable
16:47 brendan_o joined #koha
16:48 Owner iI don't know what I should do
16:48 Owner as they have already entered items
16:48 Owner now we are unable to do a batch
16:48 wizzyrea is the window behind your main window?
16:48 librarian yeah, i started doing it individually by searching by titles
16:49 Owner it is a popup
16:50 Owner doing it manually
16:50 Owner is unreasonable
16:50 Owner is there s workaround?
16:50 wizzyrea sorry, I can't help you with that I'm not running your version.
16:51 Owner what are my options?
16:52 librarian last resort would be to pay for help
16:52 Owner they are an ngo
16:52 Owner there is no budget for this
16:52 Owner I am just doing this pro bono

17:08 Owner not that I am aware of
17:09 Owner I would have to go within the database
17:09 librarian there must be way to spit out all the info from the database using another mysql interface
17:13 librarian have you tried phpmyadmin
17:20 wizzyrea you can also get csv output from the guided reports wizard
17:21 Owner there is an issue with that
17:21 Owner I still need to get the barcodes printed

22:12 bugweiser Hi.  I have a "library," which right now consists of some shelfs with a bunch of books, with no organization whatsoever.  I own a barcode scanner, several windows machines and a headless desktop that I plan to use as a server.  Is Koha a good place to start for me?
22:14 bugweiser I need to track circulation, and I have books with multiple copies.  I'd like to be able to simply use the ISBN label that is already on the books as the circulatory ID for the book.
22:15 larsw bugweiser, it sounds like Koha might do the job for you, yes (I don't know about details, I'm too new to this stuff myself)
22:16 bugweiser Oh, and I don't need differentiation between the different copies.  In other words, say I have 5 copies of The Jungle Book.  Lets say Bill takes out one copy for a 2 week term, and then a week later Jack takes out another copy, for a 2 week term as well.  I don't care which copies they all have (i.e., Bill has copy B and Jack has copy E)
22:16 bugweiser I just need to the inventory system to be able to inform me that there are presently 3 copies on the shelves, 1 copy that Bill has out, due back in a week, and
22:16 bugweiser another that Jack has out, not due back for 2 weeks.  Also I'd want to be able to cross reference books to patrons, in other words to be able to pull up Jack's file and see that he presently has 2 books out, The Jungle Book and The Fantasic Mr. Fox and when each is due.  Other extras such as email notifications to Jack when his books become overdue with optio
22:17 bugweiser s to copy an administrator or something would be nice but those are the two essential things I need.  I don't even NEED to be able to find the
22:17 bugweiser physical location of the book on the shelves, really, although it would also be nice.
22:17 bugweiser larsw: Hi. :)
22:17 chris yeah koha will do all that in more, koha might in fact be overkill for you
22:17 chris s/in/and/
22:18 bugweiser chris: Okay, simplicity is a plus for me, but not a must.
22:19 bugweiser chris: Do you think you could give me an idea of what the setup process would be like for me?
22:20 bugweiser I.E., 1) Get a server with Debian, 2) Putz around on the command line for approx. X hours installing the server side, 3) scan ISBN barcodes on books...
22:21 chris install debian squeeze, use debian.koha-community.org to install koha
22:21 larsw bugweiser, if you can put Debian squeeze on the box, software installation is pretty easy ("apt-get install koha", plus some manual steps; see http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian)
22:21 chris then spend a bunch of time learning how to be a librarian
22:21 chris thats going to take the longest time :)
22:22 bugweiser haha :)
22:22 chris koha has a lot of features and things like MARC that is pretty scary when first encountered
22:22 chris its designed to run 'real' libraries, so while you can use it for a home one .. there's a lot to get your head around
22:22 bugweiser I have had SOME minimal exposure to the terminology and what not of library systems...
22:24 bugweiser What if I don't utilize all of the bells & whistles on it?
22:25 robin chris: looking at the archives, that patch I sent yesterday didn't appear to make it to the list - any idea why?
22:25 chris yep you can do that, but in order to catalogue an item you are going to have to deal with marc ... id suggest having a look at the manual
22:25 chris robin: ill have a look ... you are subscribed to koha-patches eh?
22:26 robin yep, just have it set to nomail
22:26 robin Jun 14 11:20:47 zarathud postfix/smtp[24493]: 2A83D358149: to=<koha-patches@lists.koha-community.org>, relay=mail.catalyst.net.nz[202.78.240.40]:25, delay=0.26, delays=0.13/0.04/0.04/0.05, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 877A56836F)
22:26 larsw bugweiser, a tip from a newbie: it's possible to import most of the cataloging data from public sources, for most books: the Z24352.3546313 search (can never remember the numbers) is the tool for that, highly recommended
22:27 bugweiser chris: where can i find the manual?
22:28 chris not sure why then, the biblibre ppl run the list so ill check with them
22:28 chris bugweiser: http://koha-community.org/docu[…]ation/3-2-manual/
22:34 bgkriegel bugweiser: larsw means Z39.50. On other hand, every copy must have a unique identifier, then you can't use the ISBN label if you have more than one copy of a book
