02:48 bigbrovar Hi guys, Install koha 3.2 on Ubuntu Lucid. I am compiling from source following the lucid install readme, after everything I ran make and all was well, however make test brought up some errors http://pastebin.com/tL1uqrw2
02:49 bigbrovar I really can't get where I did wrong
02:51 wizzyrea_ you ran perl Makefile.PL before make?
02:51 chris you are missing a module Business::ISBN
02:51 * wizzyrea_ hasn't seen that particular bit of crazy before
02:51 chris Can't locate Business/ISBN.pm
02:52 bigbrovar yeah I did run Makefile.PL before make
02:52 wizzyrea_ it's not weird that it's got  KOHA_CONF=blib/KOHA_CONF_DIR/koha-conf.xml
02:52 chris apt-get install libbusiness-isbn-perl
02:52 wizzyrea_ ?
02:52 chris nope thats fine wizzyrea_
02:52 * wizzyrea_ may not have been watching closely all those times
02:52 chris it lives there until after the make install
02:52 chris make puts it there
02:52 wizzyrea_ aha
02:52 wizzyrea_ ty, now I know :)
02:53 bigbrovar chris: thanks installing that now.
02:54 bigbrovar libbusiness-isbn-perl is installed. do I need to run make again or just make test or do I start the compilation from the start with perl Makefile.PL
02:55 chris just make test
02:55 bigbrovar seriously guys .. your awesome bar is 110% :)
02:56 bigbrovar make test passed =)

03:18 brendan_l wow holy update of bugzilla batman
03:18 Brooke :)
03:23 chris heh
03:23 * Brooke salutes Chris with respect
03:24 chris other chris did the bugzilla update
03:25 Brooke anyone ever see to bugs 2326 and 2886?
03:27 chris the whole sysprefs editor has changed
03:27 chris its not systempreferences.pl anymore, so they might not apply
03:27 Brooke okie dokie, I'll get back in my newbie guide hole when I get the urge.
03:29 cait morning #koha

03:31 Brooke if it will let me do German Academic Fencing, then yes. Yes I am.
03:31 cait ?
03:32 cait German academic fencing?
03:32 Brooke http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_fencing
03:32 cait ah, that thing
03:32 cait you really think it's a good idea?
03:33 Brooke builds character ;)
03:34 cait hmpf
03:34 cait I think it's very stupid
03:35 Brooke my biggest issues still remain 1) I have a burning desire to shield bash
03:35 Brooke and 2) the foil weighs not nearly enough.
03:35 * cait is confused
03:36 * Brooke is used to reinactment blocked swordplay.
03:36 Brooke even kendo boken weigh substantially more than french foils.
03:43 darling left #koha
03:44 robin swords aren't generally particularly heavy
03:45 robin (although, foils are particularly light)
03:45 Brooke 500g max
03:45 Brooke might as well toss a meatball at the other guy ;)
03:45 robin heh
03:46 * robin plays with bokken at the moment, until I get to the point where I won't maim self/others
03:46 * Brooke wishes she had known that a couple weeks back.
03:47 robin yeah, could have been fun :)
03:51 chris http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]late_toolkit_test
03:52 robin I don't want to see "HTML Template Amateur"
03:56 cait hi robin and chris
03:56 robin hi cait!
03:58 cait laptop will me push over hand luggage limit :(
03:58 Brooke argh
03:58 robin they've never been very picky about hand luggage weight for me
03:58 Brooke I'm generally lucky, too, but I don't carry electronics
03:59 cait yeah, I will find out
04:00 robin I seem to be developing a set of small laptops for taking places.
04:00 robin I just upgraded my tiny one to one a bit bigger the other day
04:00 wizzyrea_ hehe
04:00 * wizzyrea_ takes that totally out of context, giggles
04:01 bigbrovar Hi guys, I am finally configuring koha via the web installer. I told it to import some optional settings to the database but it seems there were some issues when it tried to import sample_notice_messafe_transport.sql  it gave the follow error http://pastebin.com/xyQmib7D
04:01 Brooke any thoughts about the mac air stuff?
04:01 chris its a mac
04:01 robin wizzyrea_: Get your mind out of the gutter. You're blocking my view.
04:01 chris case closed
04:01 wizzyrea_ OH SNAP
04:01 robin Brooke: morally opposed to Apple
04:01 chris what he said
04:01 wizzyrea_ brooke: meh.
04:02 chris bigbrovar: i think you can ignore that one
04:02 robin bigbrovar: I don't think that should cause any problems, outside of the sample transports
04:02 wizzyrea_ i like my mac, and I don't particularly see a use for it. Much like I don't see a use for the ipad.
04:02 wizzyrea_ it = the air
04:03 wizzyrea_ but this is probably the last mac I'll personally own.

04:14 wizzyrea_ the people looked at my pics of the wellington library and said "oh, that's why koha is the way it is"
04:14 wizzyrea_ the people *here

04:16 chris yeah i dont care
04:16 chris i just translate it
04:16 * wizzyrea_ does have a religious feeling about the fact that it should be consistent
04:16 chris you can whine, or you can fix it
04:17 chris thats my theory anyway
04:17 * chris_n hits the hay

04:18 chris and the others who have been doing QA
04:18 wizzyrea_ well I think the new signoff rules are helping
04:18 wizzyrea_ to get things done
04:19 cait yep
04:21 chris merging branches takes me longer than just putting patches on master
04:21 chris but it does make things a lot easier to track
04:22 chris http://git.koha-community.org/[…]ha.git;a=shortlog

04:52 chris Cool
04:58 kmkale chris I created a new itemBarcodeInputFilter (which is useful for libraries stuck with barcodes printed from a ILS product in India called Libsuite8) and a patch for it. Its really ugly perl code but it works. Should I submit it?
04:59 chris Yes, perhaps with a note saying help cleaning the perl would be appreciated
05:00 kmkale Yes thats what I was thinking :)
05:00 kmkale will test a bit more and then submit it.
05:00 chris Cool
05:01 kmkale this patch stuff is addictive ;)

14:33 bigbrovar Hi guys I am unable to place any item on hold. I just setup my koha instance and created a test user. But I can not get the user to place any item on hold. when I try I get this error "Sorry, none of these items can be placed on hold." I did some tailing of the koha logs and and opac error logs showed this http://pastebin.com/PWM3vgJj
14:35 owen bigbrovar: Did you set up a default circulation rule which allows holds?
14:36 owen /cgi-bin/koha/admin/smart-rules.pl
14:37 bigbrovar owen: do I have to add that as a cron job or just run the script? what are the parameters.
14:37 owen Admin -> Circulation and fines rules
14:37 owen Sorry to not be clear
14:37 bigbrovar thanks I would check that up
14:39 owen Also check out the FAQ on http://koha-community.org
14:39 owen http://koha-community.org/docu[…]q/circulation/#25
14:42 rhcl_away is now known as rhcl
14:43 bigbrovar thanks very much I would check them out. :)
14:43 kmkale bye all

14:53 * owen wishes again that Bugzilla had some kind of "patch pushed" flag
14:54 sekjal owen: like an automatic notification?
14:54 owen No, a status in Bugzilla so I could do a search on it
14:54 sekjal ah.  that'd be easy enough to add
14:54 owen For instance, "show me bugs I reported which have been marked as "patch-pushed"
14:55 sekjal that would be nice
14:55 owen Then I've got a list of bugs I need to test and mark fixed.
14:59 wizzyrea you can't get an advanced search for that?
14:59 * wizzyrea tries
15:00 wizzyrea what's your user?
15:00 owen oleonard@myacpl.org
15:01 wizzyrea http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]&emailtype1=exact
15:01 wizzyrea could limit that more by status
15:01 owen But that's patch-sent, not patch pushed
15:02 wizzyrea ahhh reading fail. But, i have another idea
15:02 wizzyrea http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]&emailtype1=exact
15:03 wizzyrea that only works if the person leaving the "patch pushed" comment doesn't have a hyphen in it
15:04 sophie_m left #koha
15:04 owen I don't know...a search that works only if the data isn't messy? ;)
15:04 owen Thanks wizzyrea :)
15:04 wizzyrea yep :)
15:05 wizzyrea you could conceivably change that search in several ways that might make it more accurate
15:05 owen I wonder if you can set Bugzilla-wide saved searches based on a person's user?
15:06 wizzyrea you can definitely save searches
15:06 owen It's be cool to be able to provide some fine-tuned searches like that for everyone. Then the RM could say, "everyone please check your patch-pushed report"
15:06 wizzyrea that would be cool
15:06 wizzyrea http://screencast.com/t/HrcuMEH000 is how I set that last one up
15:07 owen Sure, I've got lots of saved reports: 3.x bugs not mine, 3.x all patch-sent, assined to me, assigned to me and patched, etc.
15:07 wizzyrea I don't think you can save them for others though, that *would* be a neat feature
15:09 wizzyrea ooh http://www.theoldmonk.net/gitzilla/
15:10 wizzyrea i'm sure the smart people already knew about that
15:10 trea joined #koha
15:12 chris_n possibly a git-hook which emailed a comment to the bug number ref'd in the commit subject line
15:12 chris_n might be possible
15:14 owen Anyone know the status of Bug 2001? It says patch pushed, but since I was filing the bug on someone else's behalf I don't know how to test
15:14 munin Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=2001 normal, PATCH-Sent, ---, gmcharlt, ASSIGNED, unAPI doesn't work without public-facing zebra server running on port 9998
15:15 hdl well I knew git-bz
15:16 bigbrovar left #koha
15:17 chris_n technically a bug should be marked RESOLVED->FIXED once the patch has been pushed and tested
15:18 chris_n then the original reporter should mark VERIFIED once they have done so
15:18 chris_n then CLOSED once the release is made
15:18 owen So who's doing the testing when it is marked as fixed?
15:18 chris_n at least according to Bugzilla's help
15:19 owen The person pushing the patch?
15:19 chris_n probably the one pushing
15:19 chris_n in some cases that may not be possible, but the reporter should QA the solution in any case imho
15:20 * owen would be happy to see that process put in practice, since currently it seems redundant
15:20 chris_n but if we agreed for the pusher to mark bugs resolved->fixed when pushing
15:20 chris_n that would give us a more accurate way to chart progress
15:21 gmcharlt chris_n: that's automating it a tick too far
15:21 gmcharlt I agree that updating the bug automatically when something is pushed would be great
15:21 chris_n which?
15:22 * chris_n was not suggesting automating marking resolved->fixed
15:22 chris_n only doing it :-)
15:22 gmcharlt ah, I see
15:22 gmcharlt but even then, we'd have to be careful about not overdoing it in the case of partial fixes
15:22 chris_n if we were consistent in the doing we probably would not need the auto update
15:23 chris_n right
15:23 chris_n a partial fix really does not qualify as resolved in any case
15:25 owen gmcharlt: Could I foist Bug 2001 on you to verify?
15:25 munin Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=2001 normal, PATCH-Sent, ---, gmcharlt, ASSIGNED, unAPI doesn't work without public-facing zebra server running on port 9998
15:27 gmcharlt owen: sure - I can confirm that unapi no longer requires a public-facing zebra server

17:14 bigbrovar hi guys .. guys I am having some issues getting refined search by "libraries" and "currently available items" to work.  whenever I click on them to refine a search I get this “kw,wrdl: java branch:Computer Center Science Library”  even though the item is available for the particular library and listed in koha as such.
17:16 bigbrovar when I was migerating the catalog from spreadsheet to marc used the 952$b tag for the holding library but I did not define a tag for owning library. could this be the cause of the broken refined search for libraries?
17:18 cait bigbrovar: you should define a and b - use the same code in both if the item is at his home branch
17:19 cait but I am not sure this is the cause of your problem
17:19 cait ok, I am gone - bye all
17:19 bigbrovar cait: I just crossed check and a and b are set to same library
17:20 bigbrovar cait: bye :)

17:24 wizzyrea so what do you do in the case of a person with several hundred checkouts
17:25 wizzyrea and it times out
17:25 owen Wow, several hundred?
17:25 wizzyrea how does one even function
17:25 wizzyrea yea
17:25 wizzyrea not sure yet why exactly they have so many
17:25 owen We don't allow it, so I've never seen it
17:26 sekjal wizzyrea: the disable tablesort syspref in 3.2.1 would help, I think, if it could be cherry-picked
17:28 owen Unless wizzyrea is talking about an server timeout (as opposed to a Firefox crash)
17:30 jwagner owen, bug number? I'm pretty sure that's already on our list of fixes, but want to doublecheck
17:31 owen jwagner: Bug number for what?
17:33 jwagner the tablesorter syspref

17:35 owen Bug 5396, a patch for which was just pushed to master

17:37 sekjal alright, lunch time.
17:37 sekjal is now known as sekjal_a
17:38 jwagner Yes, it's on our list. Thanks.
17:39 jwagner (And yes, we have sites that allow that many checkouts.  And holds.  Nightmare city....)
17:39 owen jwagner: So what do you do when circulation times out because of it?
17:40 jwagner The site that had the biggest problem was a standalone self-hosted, so we did some hacks to the circ page itself to turn off the tables.  Not a long-term solution but it worked for them.
17:40 jwagner The whole problem is on our list of things to work on, though.  Your solution will probably help considerably.
17:40 owen Turn off the tables? So you just don't show the checkouts?
17:41 jwagner Right, on the checkout tab. They were concerned about speed at the checkout desk.  If they really want to see the list, they go to the details tab and wait for it to load, sigh.
17:42 jwagner (For some reason, they weren't amenable to our suggestion of just limiting the number of checkouts and holds to a reasonable level....)

18:34 chris That'll last for 11 years
18:34 chris That's my experience anyway :)
18:35 sekjal yeah, I reckon so.  I've been making progress, but without that TARDIS, I'm never quite going to have enough time to do all the stuff I want to
18:36 chris Yup
18:36 wizzyrea hehe
18:36 wizzyrea I can see ian as the 13th Doctor.
18:37 * wizzyrea has his sonic screwdriver all ready
18:37 chris So, I really think we should run radio.koha-community.org like you suggested
18:37 wizzyrea ^^
18:37 wizzyrea it's a good idea
18:37 sekjal neat!
18:37 chris There is a ton of cc licensed music
18:38 HBankhead joined #koha
18:38 chris We just need a machine with disk, and some software to set up playlists
18:38 chris Streaming is easy with icecast
18:40 * sekjal 's first experience with internet radio was for an online game he used to play: Kingdom of Loathing
18:40 chris Cool
18:41 sekjal got introduced to lots of good stuff that way
18:42 chris Yep, I'm not sure on the legalities of streaming ripped music, so might be better to stick to licenses that allow it
18:42 chris But that's cool, supporting artists who release their music so ppl can hear ir
18:43 chris I'm down with that
18:43 sekjal definitely.  the legal issues would be compounded with the international nature of our community.
18:43 nengard framework question - if you're importing records into Koha and the default framework doesn't have a field what happens to that field if there was data in the imported record? I think I've seen it populate that field anyway, but I want to confirm
18:44 gmcharlt nengard: correct, the field gets loaded
18:44 chris I think it does, you just can't see it
18:44 chris Cept in the db
18:44 nengard thanks gmcharlt - chris if you can't see it and then you edit the bib later does it empty that field?
18:44 chris Don't think so
18:45 gmcharlt and the various displays that don't follow the frameworks :)
18:45 chris Oh you can see it in xslt
18:45 nengard after my perl class (and when i have time) i want to make cataloging less dependent on those silly things
18:45 chris What frameworks?
18:45 nengard yes
18:45 nengard they shouldn't be necessary
18:45 nengard you should be able to add and change fields on the fly
18:45 nengard while cataloging
18:46 nengard frameworks should be an option
18:46 nengard to make your life easier
18:46 nengard instead they make things harder on catalogers (or harder on this cataloger()
18:46 sekjal I agree we need a new editor, more like OCLC Connexion, that can exist in parallel with the current one
18:46 sekjal but I think frameworks have a lot going for them
18:46 chris I've only used them to turn off craploads of fields to make ppl lives easier
18:47 chris So I like them
18:47 chris Yeah what he said
18:47 nengard :)
18:47 sekjal especially if we generalize them a bit for handling arbitrary metadata formats (beyond MARC)
18:47 sekjal no trivial feat, that
18:48 sekjal but they serve as a semantic layer for the metadata, which is a handy structure

21:34 seneca Greetings folks - I've got a question about label creation in 3.2
21:35 seneca We recently upgraded to 3.2 and our labels were working great before that.
21:35 seneca Now, the label template seems to be oddly off - namely, it appears there's too much space being placed between the biblio info and the barcode
21:36 seneca such that the first line of the biblio info is being printer above the label and the number under the barcode is being printed below the label
21:37 seneca Doesn't matter what size font we use, in case that might be a thought - it was for us as well. :)
21:37 seneca It's like there's some weird extra lines after the last field in the biblio text/
21:37 seneca Anyone seen such a thing before?
