"Perl5 also had this built in. Just use the debugger and type x \%hash. Then you don't have to put in Data::Dumper and print statements and then have to take them out." |

Can someone test a scenario for me on a current head server? I tested on mine but I'm not entirely sure I had it set up right. |
12:11 |
|
jwagner |
If an item belonging to another branch is checked out to a patron, then checked in at a different branch, the system properly triggers a transfer message. However, if the item was not actually checked out, but run through checkin at a different branch, it doesn't trigger the transfer message |

When XSLT is on, you have two MARC view tabs in the OPAC. MARC View and Expanded MARC View |

Yes |

The child window has certainly been a source of irritation -- once you've opened it, the browser back button doesn't work as expected. |

What you describe sounds like the behavior we've observed in our live Koha system which is behind HEAD by a few months |

If it still does that in HEAD then I'll be disappointed. |

12:55 |

sekjal |
it seems to be related somehow to HomeorHoldingBranch |
12:55 |
|
jwagner |
If you'll forgive the mention :-) the system functions correctly iN LEK, but not at our harley level and not in current head |
12:56 |

So whatever broke it happened roughly between March (?) 2009 and October 2009 |

pazpar is running. the problem is if i use "OpacGroupResults" in System Preferences, i can't go to "Advanced search" in OPAC, the system return "No Result found!" instead of "Search for: keyword..." |

sekjal |
checking in again changes the message to return to B, transit message stays the same |
13:55 |
|
sekjal |
checking in at B clears it, and item rests with homebranch = A, holdingbranch = B |
14:01 |
|
* jwag_mtg |
checks back in between meetings |
14:02 |
|
jwag_mtg |
sekjal, so if an item is not checked out but is run through checkin at other than its owning branch, does it now trigger the transfer warning? |
14:02 |
|
sekjal |
jwag_mtg: depends on the setting of HomeOrHoldingBranchReturn, I believe |
14:03 |
|
sekjal |
I've been testing checkout/checkin scenarios |
14:03 |
|
sekjal |
which in some cases trigger a transfer message, resulting in a second checkin |
14:03 |
|
sekjal |
or, in one case so far, a third checkin is required to get the item to 'settle down' |
14:04 |
|
jwag_mtg |
But the theory would be that if the syspref is set to home branch, and an item is not checked out to a patron but is floating around the ether, so to speak, is found & checked in at a different branch, it should trigger the transfer warning? |
14:05 |
|
sekjal |
I'm not sure the intention of the syspref in that regard, but I believe that that is a fair statement |
14:05 |
|
sekjal |
there are way too many system preferences that seem like they should be factored into this |
14:05 |

::shrug:: |
14:09 |

this is starting to look to me like a situation where we may want to pull this out of sysprefs, and into it's own Admin page |

14:10 |

jwag_mtg |
Anyway, thanks for testing. If I can get our dev team to free up some time, I'll get them to put this on one of our servers & check it too. |
14:11 |
|
sekjal |
checking in a book from Library A whilst at Library B yields no message (with HomeorHoldingBranchReturn = holding) |
14:11 |
|
sekjal |
but it does change the holding branch to Library B |
14:11 |
|
owen |
sekjal: It would help if we knew what the two options were *supposed* to do |
14:12 |
|
owen |
I still don't understand why these cases shouldn't be covered by the AutomaticItemReturn preference. |
14:13 |
|
jwag_mtg |
So maybe the simpler fix would be to make the checkin obey AutomaticItemReturn? |
14:13 |
|
sekjal |
changing HomeorHoldingBranchReturn to 'home' does not change the behaviour I just described |
14:13 |
|
sekjal |
yeah, I'd like to see a spec on what the intended behaviour options are and how to set them |
14:13 |
|
sekjal |
makes it easier to determine if the code 'works' |
14:14 |

my testing at this point is purely descriptive |

Hi, we're back, it's Click and Clack the Tapper Brothers... |

One of my sites has autobarcode on (increment). They are saying that sometimes when they create an item with a barcode, use the label designer to print the barcode, then try to check it out, the barcode has changed. |
15:37 |
|
jwagner |
The autobarcode in itself shouldn't require zebra to catch up with the new item, right? |
15:38 |
|
jwagner |
My theory is that they are in item creation but haven't saved yet, and in the meantime someone else is creating an item that grabs the same barcode. Is that possible? |
15:38 |
|
owen |
jwagner: Why not test it? |
15:38 |
|
jwagner |
I don't know of any way the same barcode can get assigned to a different item. |
15:39 |
|
owen |
Open up two sessions and create items on the same record |
15:39 |
|
jwagner |
(Correction). They notice that the barcode belongs to a different item/title when they try to check it out, not at the label stage. |
15:39 |
|
jwagner |
owen, I was trying to test it with them just now, will keep trying. It doesn't happen every time. |
15:40 |
|
jwagner |
I wanted to confirm that the autobarcode piece (the incrementing number) doesn't require zebra to catch up -- it just checks what the last highest number was & goes from there. |
15:40 |
|
|
cait joined #koha |
15:42 |
|
owen |
to confirm that, you have to look at where in the code the barcode is getting auto-generated |
15:42 |
|
ebegin |
concerning barcode, is there a way to force a prefix? I would like my barcode to have 8 digits, prefixed with zeros |
15:46 |
|
jcamins |
cait: I was just thinking about you. Have you filed any bug reports about linking on 773s? |
15:47 |

15:47 |

let me check |
15:47 |

jcamins |
cait: I was thinking all good things about you. |
15:48 |

jcamins |
Actually, what I was thinking was "won't cait be happy when she hears that I found someone who might be interested in dealing with analytics!" |
15:48 |
|
chris_n |
ebegin: there is a somewhat broken plugin system |
15:48 |
|
chris_n |
ebegin: autoBarcode follows it |
15:48 |
|
cait |
I have no special bug report for 773 - is this host item something? |
15:49 |
|
chris_n |
ebegin: so you "might" be able to write a plugin to do that |
15:49 |
|
jcamins |
Yup, even the official name for the 773 field sounds ominous. |
15:49 |

ebegin |
chris_n, yeah, that what I'm looking for., |
15:49 |
|
chris_n |
jwagner: the code just does a select max on the barcode column iirc |
15:49 |
|
ebegin |
I'm looking at the code right now |
15:50 |
|
chris_n |
so zebra really has no bearing on the next barcode value |
15:50 |
|
jwagner |
chris_n, yes, I think I found the relevant code in C4/Form/Additem.pm |
15:50 |
|
jwagner |
select max( abs( barcode ) ) from items" |
15:50 |
|
jwagner |
then increment it by one. |
15:50 |
|
chris_n |
well, you'll need to check the plugin code as well |
15:50 |

15:52 |

Yes, C4/Barcodes.pm has quite different-looking code -- I'm not quite following it, but it still seems to be just incrementing the existing highest value. |

perhaps we can talk about it sometime, I started work on it, changed the frameworks and added an index for $w fields, this dev is done |

Wonders if Koha wouldn't simply warn of a duplicate barcode in that case? |
15:57 |
|
chris_n |
owen: it does |
15:58 |
|
chris_n |
one then has to backup and fix it |
15:58 |
|
owen |
So that's not what jwagner's problem is. |
15:58 |
|
chris_n |
before the record will save |
15:58 |
|
owen |
Unless she's dealing with an issue we can't know about because of her non-standard codebase |
15:58 |
|
chris_n |
the whole barcode autogeneration code stinks at present imho |
15:59 |
|
chris_n |
joe started to work toward a fix, but did not get far iirc |
15:59 |
|
chris_n |
ok, bye for real this time ;-) |
15:59 |
|
jwagner |
chris_n, that sounds more like what's happening. I've asked them to gather me some more info, like asking other staff if they're cataloging at the same time. |
15:59 |
|
jwagner |
(and owen, non-standard codebase has nothing to do with the problem....) |
16:00 |
|
owen |
Then why aren't your librarians getting a duplicate barcode warning? |
16:01 |
|
jwagner |
I don't know. I think in some cases they are, but other cases it doesn't seem to happen. But we haven't touched that code at all with any of our features. |
16:01 |
|
owen |
My caveat is generic, since there's no way for me to know. |
16:02 |
|
jcamins |
jwagner: could they be getting the warning and automatically fixing it, after printing labels (we don't use Koha's barcode generation at all, so I don't really know anything about how it works)? |
16:02 |
|
jwagner |
It doesn't help that the person who's actually been experiencing the problem wasn't the one describing/demonstrating it to me :-( |
16:03 |
|
jcamins |
I am thinking about my experiences on tech support, and that sort of thing would happen all the time "oh, yeah, there was that problem, but we fixed it." |
16:04 |
|
jwagner |
The steps they describe are (1) create item, complete with autogenerated barcode, (2) create batch in label creator & print it, (3) go to circ, checkout & try to check it out. At that point, entering the barcode pulls up a different title/item record -- same barcode assigned to different item/title. |
16:04 |
|
jwagner |
Right now I'm at the "ask them for more info" stage, but trying to rule out the obvious, like the zebra delay. |
16:07 |
|
cait |
sekjal: we have all those $w links and hierarchical records in our data from the union catalog. our library really needs the links to show in opac and staff. but it has been a time problem for me |
16:09 |

my specs are German and not really human readable at the moment, so they need some work before I could share them. |

cait: yeah, most of the display work could be managed by XSLT |
16:18 |

sekjal |
the work of getting the 773$w fields in there, though... I assume copy/paste of the appropriate biblionumber? |
16:18 |
|
jcamins |
pianohack: I studied Scottish paleography for a while, so I knew that letter. |
16:19 |
|
owen |
Yes pianohack. What I find interesting is that no one is making a case for the patron's need for a MARC view |
16:19 |
|
cait |
sekjal: yep, thats the next step in my project. I wanted to add some jQuery too. To show information about the linked titles on the record and a link as fallback |
16:19 |
|
cait |
sekjal: we use 001 |
16:19 |
|
sekjal |
cait: ah, 001 makes sense, too |
16:19 |
|
sekjal |
one of the things in my spec is 'item passthrough' |
16:20 |
|
cait |
sekjal: German catalogs have had hierarchies forever |
16:20 |
|
cait |
item passthrough? |
16:20 |
|
sekjal |
that is, items attached to the biblios lower in the hierarchy show up as items for the biblios higher up |
16:20 |
|
|
brendan joined #koha |
16:20 |
|
cait |
I think the catalog need an addition similar to adding authorities, but search catalog and add 001 or biblionumber to record |
16:21 |
|
cait |
ah, for us its not about the items |
16:21 |
|
pianohack |
owen: Well, librarians at other libraries are patrons too. But yes, the MARC view's use is limited. My vote would be to keep the raw MARC view for copypasta purposes and eliminate the fancy ones on the OPAC side |
16:21 |
|
cait |
we have hierarchies not only for analytics, but also for traced series |
16:21 |
|
cait |
and for works with volumes, there is a record for the work, and records for every volume |
16:21 |
|
owen |
pianohack: Eliminate opac-MARCdetail.pl? |
16:21 |
|
sekjal |
cait: yeah, the passthrough would be configurable depending on the relationship in question |
16:21 |
|
cait |
sounds good to me |
16:21 |
|
sekjal |
analytics would get it, other relationships wouldn't need it |
16:22 |
|
cait |
ah, the passthrough would come in handy for bounded volumes too |
16:22 |
|
sekjal |
and yes, we'd need that search option like we have for authorities records |
16:22 |
|
cait |
sometimes you have two works bound together |
16:23 |
|
pianohack |
owen: yes, I think |
16:23 |
|
cait |
our libraries don't use koha for cataloging, only for management of items. they are cataloging in our union catalog - so we don't plan to add that |
16:23 |

brendan, my to-do pile is out of control already :-) |
18:45 |

awh shucks |
18:45 |

jwagner |
But maybe if I already have it on my cheat sheet.... |
18:45 |
|

jwagner: At my library we use "$(".searchresults").after()" so that the suggestions link appears whether or not there are no results |
18:45 |

I know some jQuery, if owen isn't around :) |

..figuring that the patron may have gotten some results but not the ones they wanted |
18:46 |
|
* owen |
should add that to the wiki |
18:46 |
|
jwagner |
owen, that might work. They only asked for it if there were no results, but I couldn't figure out how to put it on the No results match your search for X in Y catalog line. |
18:46 |
|
jwagner |
I did a patch a while back, I think, to put some codes around that line, don't think it's been pushed yet. |
18:51 |
|
owen |
jwagner: Is there a bug report for that? |

Strange bug: when I'm on the Creators syspref tab, the tab is not highlighted. The highlighting seems to work on all the other tabs, though. Can anyone confirm this bug before I report it? |
19:09 |
|
owen |
Confirmed. |
19:09 |
|
jcamins |
Thanks. |

What is the creators tab, anyway? |
19:10 |
|
jcamins |
I have no idea. |
19:10 |
|
chris |
at the moment just patron images |
19:10 |
|
pianohack |
Why a tab just for that? |
19:10 |
|
chris |
basically its for stuff you upload |
19:11 |

the idea was to have all the sysprefs associated with label,barcode creating etc be there |
19:12 |
|
chris |
turns out, there arent that many, just the patron images |
19:13 |
|

Argh! I keep on forgetting that the default for the Bugzilla is enhancement. |

You had to create a branch and patch, in addition to changing that one character, after all. |

Anyone else here that uses the new fancy batch item delete tool? |
19:53 |
|
* owen |
has only tested it |
19:53 |
|
pianohack |
I've noticed that it does not delete the biblio if you delete the last item |
19:53 |
|
pianohack |
For our library, at least, this is less than optimal. Thinking of sending a patch to automatically delete the bib if necessary |
19:53 |
|
pianohack |
Thoughts? |
19:54 |
|
owen |
I'd rather see it happen as a second stage: "The following records have no remaining items..." |
19:54 |

pianohack: I cannot entirely remember why, but two days ago I was wishing that Koha would do that for me. |
