14:14 wizzyrea have you ever seen a message like this re: the label maker?
14:14 wizzyrea http://screencast.com/t/OTM4Y2NkN
14:14 wizzyrea and good morning everybody
14:15 chris_n interesting, but no
14:20 moodaepo @wunder 56001
14:20 munin moodaepo: The current temperature in MSU Physics Dept, Mankato, Minnesota is 12.5�C (9:21 AM CDT on September 07, 2010). Conditions: Overcast. Humidity: 87%. Dew Point: 10.0�C. Pressure: 28.81 in 975.5 hPa (Rising). Wind Advisory in effect until 3 PM CDT this afternoon...
14:20 jcamins chris_n: yesterday someone reported getting Koha 3.something to run under Windows.
14:20 wizzyrea that is a special sort of insanity
14:21 chris_n jcamins: I saw that, but wasn't he asking "how to" rather?
14:21 * chris_n has a perfectly fine working install of 3.whatever on XP at home
14:21 chris_n and lots of gray hair to show for it :-)
14:22 chris_n 3.1.x that is
14:22 jcamins I don't think so. I understood him to be reporting that he had gotten it working, and was wondering why there didn't seem to be much about successfully running Koha on Windows.
14:22 jcamins Of course, I may have been mistaken.
14:23 chris_n on second read, it seems you're right
14:23 kf jcamins: I think he was asking where to put a tutorial for installing under windoes
14:23 chris_n as I say, it's not impossible
14:23 chris_n just impractical
14:23 kf is someone subscribed tot he win-32 list?
14:24 jcamins Not me. I had enough trouble getting Koha to run under FreeBSD.
14:24 jcamins I want nothing to do with Win32.
14:24 kf :)
14:24 kf I can understand that
14:24 jcamins Heck, I have enough trouble with Koha under Debian!
14:25 kf chris_n: can you perhaps take a look at bug 4904? I think it's a double encoding problem and send a patch for it...
14:25 munin Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4904 major, PATCH-Sent, ---, katrin.fischer, ASSIGNED, Problem with printing fines in overdue notices
14:25 wizzyrea I tried to install it once on OpenBSD
14:25 kf but nobody else has my problem :(
14:25 wizzyrea then again on OSX
14:25 kf chris_n: perhaps you can confirm that my patch will not break something
14:25 jcamins wizzyrea: Both of those sound excessively challenging.
14:26 wizzyrea then I did it successfully on ubuntu :P
14:26 wizzyrea they were excessively challenging
14:26 chris_n kf: I'll try to take a look later today or tomorrow for you
14:27 kf that would be great, thank you
14:29 jcamins Are the web standard police going to come and arrest me for ignoring the fact that we use <br/>s (a lot of them) in OpacMainUserBlock?
14:32 kf the web standard police?
14:32 kf :)
14:33 wizzyrea jcamins: you could just wrap your blocks in <p>
14:34 magnus left #koha
14:36 wizzyrea we did something kind of clever
14:36 wizzyrea we made an install of portable firefox for use with the NEKLS koha install
14:36 wizzyrea so that we can tie it to the receipt printer and still let "big" firefox use whatever printer it likes
14:36 jcamins wizzyrea: We do that too. But it looks kind of like this <p>First paragraph</p><br/><br/><br/></br><p>Second paragraph</p><br/><br/><br/><hr/><br/><p>Third paragraph</p>
14:37 jcamins Yeah, I've been thinking that might be a good idea.
14:37 wizzyrea I don't recommend prism
14:37 wizzyrea it's a pita

15:32 aarkerio Hi! I am newbie in Koha. I importes a MARC and the create an Item. In OPAC I can found the book but
15:33 aarkerio how can I ask for borrow it?
15:34 aarkerio I mean in OPAC interface
15:34 jcamins aarkerio: You can only check out books from the staff interface.
15:35 aarkerio mmmm, so if I add a book to my cart is for buy it?
15:36 jcamins No, Koha is a library system, not an ecommerce system.
15:36 aarkerio then what I do with items in my cart?
15:37 wizzyrea put holds on them
15:37 aarkerio I can add the book to my cart
15:37 wizzyrea right. It's mostly for your reference, so you can keep track of books you might want to check out
15:37 wizzyrea adn you can place holds on the books in your cart so the library staff can pull them and have them ready for you
15:38 aarkerio ok, in OPAC I can see  "my summary" tab
15:38 aarkerio and "Checked Out" text, what I am checking out?
15:39 wizzyrea that is a list of items that library staff has checked out for you (issued)
15:39 wizzyrea (charged)
15:39 aarkerio or if I as student found a book, what is the next step? go to desk and show my library card to staff?
15:39 wizzyrea yes
15:40 aarkerio so, staff go to "Patrons", found the user and made the checkout?
15:41 owen Staff go to "Circulation," find the user (or scan their library card) and make the checkout
15:42 aarkerio mm,  cool!
15:43 aarkerio I see "Enter item barcode" but I don't have any, can I type ISBN manually?
15:43 wizzyrea o, that's rough.
15:44 aarkerio mmm, or number item?
15:46 aarkerio mm, how can I create the barcodes for books?  "Cataloging"
15:50 aarkerio this is too old:  http://www.kohadocs.org/usersguide/ch01s04.html     right?
15:51 owen Yes
15:51 owen http://koha-community.org/documentation/
15:52 owen Cataloging -> Search for your book -> Add/Edit items/holdings

15:58 aarkerio thanks!
15:58 cait hi #koha
15:58 aarkerio in  "p - Barcode"  y see tree dots "..."
15:59 cait it means a plugin can be linked to this field - there is a sys pref for barcode generation, I think it does not work until you turn it on
16:00 aarkerio hi cait,  is barcode an external plugin?
16:01 cait you can link so called plugins to fields in cataloging
16:01 cait perl files, but they come with koha
16:01 cait so not really external
16:01 cait the ... indicate there is one linked to the field
16:02 cait if you want to generate barcodes try to turn on the syspref
16:03 aarkerio ok, I will print the PDF, thanks all for your patience!!

17:08 jcamins Wow, that's really weird.
17:09 jcamins Never encountered it, sorry.
17:09 cait we dont use the uppercasename pref and never had problems so far

18:16 wizzyrea can someone verify that publication/acquisition date sorting is working in 3.2?
18:16 wizzyrea int he opac
18:16 wizzyrea pretty please
18:16 owen publication and acquisition sorts are very different
18:17 wizzyrea yep
18:17 owen I've never trusted Koha's publication date sort, but have usually found the acquisition sort to work well
18:17 wizzyrea the pubdate sort is as good as the data you give it > gigo
18:17 owen Right
18:17 wizzyrea but since acqdate is system generated it works better
18:17 owen Unfortunately for our garbage-filled catalog
18:17 wizzyrea < same
18:19 owen Ah, do you mean "working" as in, "doesn't just redirect you to the advanced search page?"
18:19 wizzyrea well, lol, no
18:19 wizzyrea I was wondering if the sort actually, you know, sorted.
18:20 wizzyrea (i recognize it's hard to tell with pubdate)
18:20 owen I don't even get results, I get sent back to the advanced search screen
18:20 wizzyrea EW
18:20 jcamins We don't have any acquisition dates, and our database is too full of garbage to be of use.
18:20 jcamins (for testing pubdate searching)
18:20 cait pub date sorting or searching?
18:20 wizzyrea sorting and searching
18:21 cait we have pretty good data for pub date
18:21 cait let me check
18:21 jcamins I meant sorting, not searching, sorry.
18:21 owen wizzyrea: Specifically, I can't *re-sort* from the results screen. I can specify a sort from the advanced search form and get sorted results
18:22 wizzyrea hmm. my 3.2 seems to allow that but I dont have the newest patches
18:22 wizzyrea if there are any
18:22 jcamins pubdate search works on my demo catalog.
18:22 wizzyrea though
18:22 cait looks ok to me in 3.1.161
18:22 owen Anyone remember what Koha is looking at for the pubdate sort?
18:23 cait yep
18:23 cait ah, sort
18:23 cait no
18:23 jcamins Something that makes me weep every time I remember.
18:23 cait search is one of the coded fields, 007 008 one of those
18:24 wizzyrea http://screencast.com/t/MDFiZmFlMTU
18:24 jcamins What version is HEAD at?
18:24 owen 3.01.00.145 is what I'm seeing
18:24 cait wizzyrea: have you checked the coded fields of those records?
18:25 wizzyrea well I'm actually wondering if it's a case of GIGO
18:25 cait yeah, I meant 61 :(
18:25 jcamins Okay, that's what I have too.
18:25 jcamins Oh.
18:25 jcamins Good.
18:25 wizzyrea now that I'm looking at it
18:25 cait GIGO?
18:25 wizzyrea garbage in, garbage out
18:25 jcamins I was just worrying that I had done something bad to my formerly-at-HEAD installation.
18:25 wizzyrea as in, you give it bad data, who knows what you'll get out
18:25 wizzyrea ;)
18:26 cait ah

19:58 jcamins Ah.
19:58 jcamins Okay, that makes sense.
19:58 chris if you want to run 50000 issues through the system
19:58 chris using curl or the like, its easier to bring it up on a local interface, with insecure set

20:33 jcamins Is there some convenient jquery that can add a choice to the Advanced Search screen?
20:34 wizzyrea owen's the real expert, but go ahead and ask
20:34 wizzyrea what are you specifically trying to add?
20:34 jcamins Auction date, in this case.
20:34 wizzyrea is that indexed?
20:34 jcamins Oh, let me try that question again with the key word included:
20:35 wizzyrea I mean, can you limit by that at all anyway?
20:35 jcamins On our catalog you can.
20:35 jcamins adate:
20:35 jcamins Ideally, it should be an option in the dropdowns with "Keywords," etc.
20:35 wizzyrea so your query would be like opac-search.pl?idx=kw&q=twilight&so​rt_by=pubdate_dsc&adate=<somedate>
20:35 jcamins Right.
20:36 wizzyrea hm. lessee.
20:37 Braedon twilight? Don't tell me you are one of THOSE people wizzyrea :P
20:37 wizzyrea no, it's just a search that 1. always has items and 2. has lots of them and 3. has lots of holds
20:37 wizzyrea so it's ez to test with
20:37 wizzyrea ;)
20:38 Braedon haha
20:38 Braedon fair enough
20:38 jcamins I think someone was talking about doing this back before I knew what jquery was.
20:38 wizzyrea $("select[name='idx']") would get you the select dropdown
20:38 wizzyrea now... adding the option...
20:38 wizzyrea (I think)
20:39 wizzyrea http://stackoverflow.com/quest[…]list-using-jquery
20:39 wizzyrea might help
20:39 jcamins Ah. Nifty. Thanks!
20:40 Braedon what would we do without stackoverflow?
20:40 Braedon or rather, what did we do before stackoverflow
20:40 jcamins Woohoo! It works!

23:31 chris hi LBA
23:32 mib_yjs7r joined #koha
23:33 mib_yjs7r Hello all
23:33 mib_yjs7r i need help with some basic stuff
23:33 mib_yjs7r koha express
23:34 chris is that a liblime product? we probably cant help with that, they are running a really old version of koha
23:34 chris but have a try, we might be able to
23:34 mib_yjs7r say a student has an overdue item, and I've set it up so that she receives an overdue notice -- is there a way to know if the notice has been sent?
23:35 chris in official koha yes, you can see that in the members screen
23:35 chris in the messaging or notices tab (on the left hand side)
23:35 chris not sure how the liblime fork looks anymore
23:36 chris mib_yjs7r: if you had db access you could also look at the message_queue table
23:36 mib_yjs7r which is where?
23:37 chris its in the database, do you get database access with liblime express?
23:38 mib_yjs7r I guess I don't
23:38 chris mib_yjs7r: its useful to be aware that liblime are actively hostile to the community, and while we do our best to help their users, sometimes due to the fact they do things different to everyone else we cant
23:39 chris if you go to the staff interface
23:39 chris and do a search for the borrower
23:39 chris and get to the details page
23:39 chris yell out when you get there :)
23:40 mib_yjs7r in the borrower's account there is a "messaging" tab
23:40 mib_yjs7r but it does nothing
23:41 chris is there a notices tab?
23:42 mib_yjs7r Nope
23:42 chris ok, in the url you see the borrower number?
23:43 chris take a note of that
23:43 chris the go to reports
23:43 chris choose create from sql
23:44 chris type into the sql box
23:44 LBA hi chris and all....just lurking
23:44 chris select * from message_queue where borrowernumber=the_number
23:44 chris save that, and then run that report
23:44 chris that sould hopefully tell you
23:45 mib_yjs7r ok, i'll try that... thanks!
23:46 mib_yjs7r never created or ran a sql report, hope i don't breake anything :-)
23:46 mib_yjs7r break
23:46 chris that should be fine :)
23:49 mib_yjs7r asks for a report name, notes, type
23:49 mib_yjs7r or should i have clicked on "build new"?
23:50 chris is there a link create from sql?
23:50 mib_yjs7r yes i clicked on it and asks for above
23:50 mib_yjs7r report name i guess i can name it whatever
23:50 chris put a name in then, and you can leave the others blank
23:51 mib_yjs7r i don't understand this part: "select * from message_queue where borrowernumber=the_number"
23:52 chris cut and paste that in, into the big box for sql
23:52 chris changing the_number to the number that you took a note of before
23:52 mib_yjs7r ok i guess that's the "notes:" box
23:52 chris no
23:52 chris (this is what i mean by being hard, this is different to koha, in koha there is a box called sql)
23:54 mib_yjs7r there is no sql box, just a box that says "notes:" to the upper left
23:54 chris maybe there is another screen after
23:55 chris try putting it in the notes
23:55 chris cant hurt :)
23:55 mib_yjs7r sorry
23:56 mib_yjs7r i saw the sql box!
23:56 mib_yjs7r i guess i'm blind
23:56 chris :)
23:56 mib_yjs7r ok i saved it
23:57 chris cool
23:57 chris try running it now
23:57 mib_yjs7r now how do I run it? :p
23:57 chris go back to reports, choose use saved
23:58 mib_yjs7r i notice there are some reports saved alreadt
23:58 mib_yjs7r i guess the liblime people created them
23:59 mib_yjs7r should i download as comma or tab separated text?
23:59 wasabi mib_yjs7r:  you should ask your vendor to install php-myadmin on your koha-server
23:59 chris i wouldnt download them as either
