01:12 daniel cool
01:14 gmcharlt < and ! - such hardworking punctuation characters, but they get no respect at all
01:14 Brooke !++
01:15 * druthb startles suddenly, seeing that gmcharlt is not a statue.
01:18 * gmcharlt is sneaky that way
01:19 * daniel is experimenting with what's possible using mibbit
01:19 owen Wow, I was coming close to gmcharlt for a while, and then he zoomed away again
01:19 Brooke there's only one SLS and you are not he ;)
01:19 owen As it should be, though
01:19 chris try this daniel
01:20 chris /ctcp chris time (without the leading space)
01:20 chris it may or may not work in mibbit

04:36 kmkale chris how do I go about adding one more system preference option to itemBarcodeInputFilter? add it in sysprefs.sql? anyhting more?
04:37 chris Yep, updatedatabase.pl
04:38 kmkale ok. Thanks.
04:38 chris And the preferences file in the koha-tmpl dir
04:38 chris Under that dir anyway
04:38 kmkale oh.
04:39 chris I forget the path but its a file that is used to control the display and is translatable
04:39 chris Better than the old way
04:39 kmkale searching
04:40 kmkale koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en​/modules/admin/preferences.tmpl
04:40 chris Nope
04:40 kmkale koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/mo​dules/admin/systempreferences.tmpl
04:40 chris Its not a .tmpl file
04:40 kmkale koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/mo​dules/help/admin/preferences.tmpl
04:41 chris Maybe .pref
04:41 kmkale koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog​/en/js/pages/preferences.js
04:41 kmkale koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/css/preferences.css
04:41 chris Nope
04:41 kmkale these are all I can find under koha-tmpl with *preferences*
04:41 chris Try .pref
04:42 kmkale trying
04:42 chris Or just preference
04:42 chris Id look but id have start a vpn and that's just a pain :)
04:43 pastebot "kmkale" at 59.181.126.113 pasted ".pref files under koha-tmpl" (16 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/102
04:43 kmkale :) just pasted all I could find with .pref
04:43 chris Those are them
04:43 kmkale none seems a likely candidate :(
04:44 chris So you edit the one you want it to live under
04:44 chris they make the tabs in the preferences editor
04:45 chris I'm guessing admin.pref
04:45 chris You might want to grep that preferences dir to find the one its in
04:47 kmkale koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modul​es/admin/preferences/circulation.pref has itemBarcodeInputFilter in it
04:47 chris That's the one to edit then
04:47 kmkale the purpose of this file is to offer the explanation for the syspref and its options?
04:48 chris Yep
04:48 chris And to be translatable
04:48 chris The db isnt
04:49 chris So its actually the more important file to edit
04:49 kmkale ok. Thanks chris.
04:49 kmkale Although this work seems destined only for this one college it is good practice for me to make it into a proper patch :)

14:36 owen Can someone remind me of how to add [SIGNED-OFF] to a git send-email subject line?
14:37 sekjal git commit --amend
14:37 indradg left #koha
14:39 owen That adds the line to the commit message, but not to the subject line of the email does it?
14:39 sekjal the subject line of the email will be the first line of the updated commit message
14:39 sekjal git commit --amend to add [SIGNED-OFF] to the beginning of the first line, plus any other notes further down
14:39 sekjal then git format-patch -s to add the signoff line
14:43 owen Thanks sekjal, I don't think that was how I was instructed before but it seems to have worked
14:43 chris_n or (courtesy gmcharlt): git format-patch -s --subject-prefix='PATCH] [SIGNED-OFF' origin

15:02 briceSanc Hello
15:03 sekjal morning, briceSanc!
15:05 briceSanc Do you know if there is a way to detect the current intranet language in a script ?
15:06 jcamins briceSanc: server-side script or client-side script?
15:06 briceSanc server-side script
15:06 jcamins I think there's a syspref.
15:10 briceSanc In fact, I want to display information based on the language
15:11 jcamins The syspref is language, I think.
15:11 jcamins With the two digit (iso646) language code.
15:17 rhcl amit published a book

15:36 kmkale The Circulation system preference page says "itemBarcodeInputFilter   (modified)    scanned patron barcodes. ".. Does itemBarcodeInputFilter setting also affect patron barcodes in the same way as it does item barcodes?
15:36 magnus_a is now known as magnus
15:38 sekjal kmkale: as I recall, the itmeBarcodeInputFilter is not applied to patron barcodes at all, no
15:38 kmkale Then the text on the sys pref page needs change

17:12 druthb pochierte eier?
17:13 cfouts joined #koha
17:14 cait druthb: right, but never saw or ate some
17:14 druthb oh!  is a yummy way to eat 'em.
17:14 wizzyrea ya, poached eggs are yummy, especially with hollandaise sauce
17:15 druthb An English muffin, a slice of canadian bacon, a poached egg, and hollandaise sauce.  yum.
17:15 owen As Mr. Wonka said, "A poached egg isn't a poached egg unless it's been stolen from the woods in the dead of night."
17:15 rhcl 2 fried eggs, heavily peppered, big thick slice of ham, hash browns and buttered wheat toast
17:15 * jcamins has never eaten a poached egg either.
17:16 * jwagner notes the usual daily digression into food conversation, and gets hungry....
17:16 rhcl lunch time for you easterners
17:16 wizzyrea it's lunchtime on the east coast ;)
17:16 jwagner Yes, but my office mate just now called in the Chinese order.  Certain people twisted my arm to order good food instead of the healthy stuff I bring in my lunch :-)
17:17 druthb just now!  sheesh.

17:33 sekjal hdl: yes, I'm here
17:33 hdl hi how are you ?
17:33 sekjal doing okay; grappling with some SIP issues
17:33 hdl which ones ?
17:34 hdl I have done some work on SIP it is on our branch 3.0.x
17:34 hdl (for holds and Renewals, iirc)
17:34 sekjal one SIP service seems to be transmitting the username and password for the SIP user in a format that Koha can't recognize
17:34 sekjal so, lots of mucking about with configs, and talking with the service's support peoiple
17:35 hdl yeah... there is a striping of characters which makes some passwords not working.
17:35 hdl iirc. @ and ! would not be recognized.
17:35 hdl using a SIMPLE password does the trick
17:36 sekjal both $uid and $pwd are coming through as uninitialized
17:37 wizzyrea sekjal: envisionware?
17:37 sekjal bluesocket
17:37 wizzyrea nuts.
17:37 hdl yes... It is that kind of stuff. you should look at the readsippacket.
17:37 hdl sekjal: have you been able to produce some intereting map of cycles?
17:38 sekjal I've gotten two maps out there now, but both are very large and difficult to read
17:38 sekjal one includes highlighting, which helps a little
17:38 sekjal http://bit.ly/co8iEg
17:39 sekjal haven't had time to refine my scripts to only include modules that both 'use' and are used
17:39 sekjal there is a loop between C4::Reserves, C4::Search and C4::XSLT, though
17:42 hdl yes.
17:43 hdl ok... will try to work on that.
17:43 sekjal thanks, hdl!
17:43 schuster joined #koha
17:43 hdl thank you.
17:43 hdl How do you produce pdf ?
17:44 sekjal step 1: my script creates a .dot file out of the kohaclone/C4 directory
17:44 sekjal step 2: I run that file through another script to add highlighting for cycles
17:44 sekjal step 3: open in Graphviz, and export as PDF
17:46 hdl I think I fail the step 3.
17:46 hdl But well. Work on C4::Reserves C4::Search C4::XSLT cycle is a good start

18:41 * Brooke thanks chris
18:41 Brooke How did it work in the before time?
18:41 cait morning chris
18:42 chris Well you have to tell zebra to apply relevance ranking, somewhere that has been removed, or never existed in the first place
18:45 chris Hiya cait
18:45 chris My testing shows if you actually enable it you get much better results
18:45 chris I'm gonna get wizzyrea to do some testing for me
18:45 chris And hopefully a patch will come from that
18:46 Brooke ken ah test, too?

19:01 cait perhaps you can get a discount on buying them in dozens?
19:03 jcamins cait: good idea.
19:03 cait so why are people asking about rda fields in kohaß

19:29 chris with relevance ranking
19:29 chris http://catalog.bywatersolution[…],rtrn,wrdl%3Dalex
19:29 chris with relevance ranking disabled
19:30 Brooke definitely yuck on the second
19:30 chris my theory is that if you seeing results like the 2nd, that look to have little bearing on what you are searching on, chances are, it isnt actually doing relevance ranking
19:30 Brooke but for the first, it would be ideal to have author hits rise up in weight.
19:30 chris if you do author search it does
19:30 chris thats just a keyword, its sure frequency of occurence
19:30 Brooke aye, but should it not drill down?
19:31 owen "Therapy" has the search term in the subtitle and in a subject heading
19:31 owen That's +2 for that one over +1 for the author hit, as I see it
19:31 chris yep
19:31 Brooke I still think author trumps subtitle
19:32 chris in traditional catalogues yeah, where only librarians can find stuff
19:32 chris cos they understand rules that like
19:32 Brooke raw frequency might be a bear on ranking
19:32 * Brooke is not as stuffy as you think
19:33 sekjal I'd like to see user-configurable relevancy algorithms, but that'd probably be way more trouble than it's worth
19:33 Brooke I just think more is not necessarily better.
19:33 Brooke prolly not sekjal
19:33 chris nope, but neither is author a better match nessecarily than subtitle, on a keyword search
19:33 Brooke if we *really* wanna innovate, those would be smexy.
19:34 chris sekjal: it isnt actually that hard
19:34 owen So chris what's the diagnosis? Is ranking really broken (or not used) by default?
19:34 chris you can pass things to zebra to make it wait fields
19:34 chris dunno, cos the people who are complaining, i cant see their opacs
19:35 Brooke can you configure those things up front so they happen out of the box>
19:35 chris but it seems to me, that you get much better results with relevance ranking on
19:35 wizzyrea where do you check?
19:36 chris wizzyrea: easy way to check is this
19:36 chris http://catalog.nexpresslibrary[…]%3Dkw,wrdl%3Dalex
19:36 chris without ranking
19:36 chris http://catalog.nexpresslibrary[…]nk,kw,wrdl%3Dalex
19:36 wizzyrea i hope that's faster for you than it was for me… oi.
19:36 chris with
19:36 chris no, its slow as hell
19:36 chris ur db is borked
19:36 Brooke same hyeah
19:37 chris now those 2 queries arent doing right truncation, so lemme turn that on, cos it looks like you have that on too
19:38 chris http://catalog.nexpresslibrary[…],wrdl,rtrn%3Dalex
19:38 chris without again
19:38 chris http://catalog.nexpresslibrary[…],wrdl,rtrn%3Dalex
19:38 chris with
19:39 chris so the stemming (right truncation) does make it harder to find exact matches
19:39 chris but ranking is still better with them than no ranking
19:39 wizzyrea so it's the rank bit
19:39 chris yup
19:39 chris now if you look at
19:40 chris http://catalog.nexpresslibrary[…]-search.pl?q=alex
19:40 chris it seems to be doing ranking
19:40 Brooke is there a way to kidney punch right trunc so that it cooperates?
19:40 chris Brooke: its doing exactly what we told it to
19:40 Brooke (Precise match > longer variant)
19:41 wizzyrea GIGO and all that ;)
19:41 Brooke but it's not garbage
19:41 wizzyrea and on my 3.3 that has old production data on it, the ranking seems to be broken, the results are much better with the ranking on
19:41 chris yes it is
19:41 chris C4/Search is a maze of garbage
19:41 Brooke and someone just raised the Librarian finding information but not the patron so :P
19:41 owen Bummer that highlighting is busted when you use ccl
19:42 chris Brooke: our search module is garbage
19:42 Brooke didn't used to be. What happened?
19:42 chris its always been garbage
19:43 jcamins Brooke: see cait's comment 40 minutes ago. ;)
19:43 * wizzyrea coughs
19:43 wizzyrea marc
19:43 * wizzyrea coughs
19:43 chris but it still works better than lots
19:43 Brooke there was a Librarian at CCILA that was very hot on Koha being able to find King's IT
19:43 chris and if we rewrote the search module in a way that wasnt a maze of incomprehension we could make it work a lot better
19:44 Brooke where other ILSs failed utterly
19:44 chris Brooke: still can
19:44 Brooke (stopword thing, I realise)
19:44 chris like i say, its better than others
19:44 chris but they are total garbage
19:44 chris ours is jsut mostly garbage
19:44 Brooke so it's just like me.
19:44 Brooke that puts it into perspective :)

19:48 chris im doubting its in nekls catalogue
19:49 Brooke bet it's in Jar's
19:49 wizzyrea dunno, we've got some crazy stuf int her
19:49 wizzyrea in there*
19:49 jcamins The NYPL is the only place I know for sure has it.
19:49 * jcamins goes to search "The" in the NYPL catalog.
19:49 chris try searching the the
19:49 sekjal sounds like another must-have biblio record for the demo system
19:50 chris as in the band
19:50 chris you cant find it in wellington city's catalogue
19:50 * owen tried 'the the'
19:50 jcamins If you search for Title: The in the NYPL catalog, it comes up.
19:50 jcamins Well, kind of.
19:50 Brooke what's the point, NYPL is on III.
19:50 jcamins It's hit eleven of twelve.
19:51 jcamins Brooke: I was curious. :P
19:51 Brooke those bastages have the radical american indian review....
19:51 darling i don't see why we should be rewarding that type of naming behaviour
19:51 chris heh
19:51 jcamins And we should be able to offer compelling features to persuade the NYPL to go with Koha next migration.
19:52 jcamins Such as "finally your patrons will be able to just type 'The' into the search box, and get the record they want."
19:52 Brooke don't know if their culture is cool enough for that kind of migration
19:52 chris pull in the record from LOC
19:52 chris into koha, see what it does to it
19:52 Brooke Boston mebbe
19:52 jcamins NYPL's Z39.50 works.
19:53 jcamins Oh, I guess it's hard to search for, huh?
19:53 chris if it has an issn
19:53 chris nope
19:54 cait perhaps a control number?
19:54 jcamins A samizdat poetry journal with the title "The"?
19:54 jcamins Found it.
19:55 hdl joined #koha
19:55 Brooke bonjour
19:56 owen If you title-search LOC for "the" you get "The system failed while performing your search."
19:56 chris good old voyager
19:57 owen Not only that you have to actually click the "start over" link or all your subsequent searches will fail too
19:57 Brooke well, Sodom has it set poorly.
19:58 owen In LOC's record for The the's "Soul mining," the band is identified as "The"

20:24 chris theres all sorts of neatness in there'
20:24 * jcamins did that and got totally confused and overwhelmed

20:28 jcamins Ick, the dropdown automatically appends wrdl to indexes in the search box?
20:29 chris appears to

20:30 jcamins Which in turn breaks complete-subfield.
20:33 jcamins There go my visions of being able to easily find books with common titles.
20:33 chris why?
20:33 chris just fix it ;)
20:33 Brooke easy words for Mr. Koha to utter.
20:34 chris pshaw
20:34 chris if everyone took that attitude, id be the only one working on it
20:34 Brooke care to share how to fix it?
20:34 chris if the dropdown is appending wrdl
20:34 chris stop it doing that
20:34 chris done
