12:12 owen gmcharlt: Thanks for the topic branch for Bug 3652
12:12 munin Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3652 critical, P5, ---, oleonard, ASSIGNED, XSS vulnerabilities
12:13 gmcharlt sure
12:13 owen I've got a bunch more updates. Almost halfway done with the staff client.
12:18 owen gmcharlt: My patches from 14 Jul are minor and string-safe. I hope they can make it into 3.2
12:25 * gmcharlt wonders if there is a good reason why the intranet doc-head-open.inc does not include <title> while the opac version does
12:26 munin New commit(s) kohagit: Minor markup correction to send Cart form <http://git.koha-community.org/[…]4cda4994126fc9371> / Markup corrections <http://git.koha-community.org/[…]2f8e1b238e0b19139> / Bug 3756 Difference between original and local sysprefs <http://git.koha-community.org/[…]b8fb682fb0f492cc0
12:26 owen Heh... I'm the one who would know, and I don't know :)
12:28 chris i blame godzilla
12:29 druthb now, there's an enhancement to git-blame.  "Who didn't put in a line that should be here?"
12:30 gmcharlt @bug 5025
12:30 munin gmcharlt: Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5025 trivial, P5, ---, oleonard, NEW, discrepancy between opac doc-head-open.inc and staff doc-head-open.inc
12:31 gmcharlt druthb: that's coming in Git 2.46 - git-suggest-the-patch-you-really-meant-to-write
12:32 druthb I saw the roadmap for 2.5, the other day-- git-suppress-Really-Bad-Idea finally made the cut.
12:33 gmcharlt aka git-auto-revert ?
12:33 druthb that's the one, yeah.
12:34 druthb you have to have Coder::Psyhic installed; that's still got some bugs, so it's a blocker for now.
12:34 owen The one where you try to commit something and an eerie voice says "I can't let you do that. Dave." ?
12:34 gmcharlt hey!  that's my job!
12:35 druthb no, that's a stem routine of the Skynet:: module, owen.
12:35 gmcharlt owen: any thoughts on dpavlin's patch for @bug 5009
12:35 munin Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5009 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, oleonard, NEW, add autocomplete="off" to borrowernumbers and barcode forms
12:36 munin New commit(s) kohagit: Bug 5021 Formatting of undefined serials dates <http://git.koha-community.org/[…]bd572794a19f40361> / Fix for Bug 4999, OPAC error pages have incorrect markup structure <http://git.koha-community.org/[…]38dcb0ae09a8f8d31>
12:36 owen gmcharlt: Personally, I don't like it. I use the browser's autocomplete sometimes
12:37 owen part of me doesn't like it just because the autocomplete attribute is non-standard, but we are using it elsewhere.
12:37 owen Should we be coding for an issue that can be solved through browser-configuration?
12:37 owen i.e. turn off form history?
12:39 owen On the other hand, I don't know how much the browser's autocomplete is really used on the front lines of the circ desk
12:39 owen They have a lot more data getting entered than I do
12:39 gmcharlt perhaps a different approach is in order - adding IDs to those form elements; then somebody can use a bit of jQuery to turn off automcmplete
12:40 druthb +1
12:40 owen There's a pretty good chance that the HTML structure is already there for that
12:40 gmcharlt as far as the circ desk is concerned ... since only Koha devs repeatedly checkin and check out the same items
12:40 gmcharlt autocomplete is great for us
12:40 gmcharlt but a Real Live Circ Desk (TM) is presumably dealing in unique items every day
12:41 gmcharlt some of those forms are wrapping on identified divs
12:41 gmcharlt although glancing at the patch
12:42 gmcharlt not all
12:43 owen gmcharlt: Can you remind me of the proper way to format my patch submissions so that it's clear that they're for a topic branch?
12:44 gmcharlt just include the bug number as usual if a bug's been diverted to a topic branch
12:44 gmcharlt if it's not oterwise clear in context, adding a bracketed tag to the subject line can be done was weel
12:44 gmcharlt e.g., [new/branch_foo]
12:46 Nate joined #koha
12:49 owen And isn't there a flag for git send-email that does that?
12:50 saorge joined #koha
12:50 gmcharlt owen: no; git format-patch --subject-prefix
12:51 owen Thanks. I should add that to the wiki.

17:08 hdl hi
17:09 jwagner Bonjour
17:13 jwagner Anyone using autoBarcode with the branch prefix?  The note for the syspref says it will generate barcodes like "hbyymmincr of the form HB08010001 where HB=Home Branch", but it doesn't seem to work.  Setting it to straight incremental works fine.

18:25 nengard hi all, i'm working with frameworks and I marked a few subfieds as hidden with an 8 in the field
18:25 nengard but they still show in the framework
18:25 nengard is this a bug? or was I reading the help wrong?
18:26 cait what is the entry in the help? I use -5 most of the time, to hide in editor
18:27 owen-away is now known as owen
18:29 nengard cait i chose 8 to hide in everything - editor, opac, etc
18:29 nengard i'll try -5
18:29 sekjal 8 leaves the field uncollapsed in the editor

20:09 jcamins Good morning, chris. Shouldn't you be out enjoying the beautiful weather that is apparently part and parcel of living in NZ?
20:12 chris not today it isnt
20:12 jcamins Oh. :(

20:26 chris sekjal: any luck with finding airfares?
20:27 sekjal looking at around $1600 for me, $1350 for my wife (USD)
20:27 chris hmmm, she is flying from a different place?
20:27 sekjal at a different time
20:27 chris ahh
20:27 sekjal she's going to come down part of the way through the conference
20:27 chris makes sense
20:28 sekjal she's got a big work event when I plan to fly out
20:28 chris right
20:28 chris you fly via lax, then akl, then wlg?
20:29 sekjal jfk -> lax -> akl -> wlg, yes
20:29 chris nengard is flying virginaustralia, so she is phl->lax->sydney->wlg
20:29 wizzyrea oh jebus, that's a confulence of huge airports that makes dieties cry
20:29 wizzyrea confluence, even
20:29 brendan you may want to compare prices from LAX first...  you can fly to LAX cheaper
20:29 chris *nod*
20:29 sekjal good idea
20:30 brendan nengard got a good deal from LAX
20:30 brendan plus if you go from LAX - you stop by and say hi
20:30 chris :)
20:30 brendan or wave when you go over
20:31 chris http://www.vaustralia.com/?siteselect=1
20:31 sekjal one new wrinkle: my wife just got accepted to a professional immersion program in mid-Nov, which will cut into our vacation time
20:31 wizzyrea just as in, just now?
20:31 wizzyrea like, 2 minutes ago?
20:31 wizzyrea that's an amazing coincidence :)
20:32 sekjal well, it was a couple hours ago
20:32 chris 448 and 445
20:32 chris $893 including tax USD, return lax to wlg
20:33 sekjal I'm seeing it... much nicer
20:33 chris yeah
20:33 chris plus they have usb charges on the plane :)
20:33 chris also, means you clear customs and immigration in wellington
20:33 brendan beagles?
20:34 chris much smaller airport, 1 international flight at a time, no queues
20:34 brendan but are there beagles?
20:34 chris and yes 3 beagles
20:34 brendan YAY

21:51 pianohack Hi CGI778
21:51 pianohack What's up
21:51 CGI778 fine and u?
21:52 pianohack Good. Just wondering if you had any Koha questions we could help with
21:53 cait left #koha
21:53 CGI778 i want to know is koha for selling books ?
21:53 CGI778 a have a huge kibrary
21:53 CGI778 *library
21:54 pianohack CGI778: A personal or public library?
21:54 CGI778 pblic
21:54 CGI778 but is bussines
21:55 CGI778 and i give books for loan
21:55 pianohack CGI778: Koha doesn't really have much functionality in it for selling books
21:55 CGI778 and i want to sell
21:55 pianohack renting and checking out just about anything, and keeping a catalog, those it can do
21:55 pianohack selling is tougher. Koha isn't really built for it
21:56 pianohack The approach we use here at our library when we're selling a book (usually an old, unused one) is to remove it from the Koha catalog, then sell it and keep track of the money using other software
21:56 brendan heya painohack

21:56 CGI778 ok  thank
