02:46 queso I'm looking for a solution to catalog my home library. Will Koha work for this, or would it be overkill?
02:46 chris how big is your collection?
02:47 chris http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ation/newbieguide
02:48 queso chris: I don't know, that's why I want to catelog it. :) it's 10 bookcases, something like 3ft x 6ft each . . so, the whole basement.
02:48 chris if you know something about cataloguing and library standards it will be easier, but you could do it if you follow the newbie guide (that presumes you have it installed)
02:49 queso chris: I'm a software developer so I should be able to get it to work. I was looking around in a demo trying to figure out how to add a book and couldn't do it.
02:50 queso chris: So the newbie guide will be good. Thank you for the link.
02:50 chris the newbie guide and the manual will walk you through that
02:50 queso chris: Koha supports mysql and what other database?
02:50 chris http://koha-community.org/docu[…]ation/3-2-manual/
02:51 chris thats about it at the moment, it fluctuates, but there are some mysqlisms in a couple of the .sql files it uses to set it up at the moment, im hoping to rip those back out for 3.4
02:51 queso chris: Hopefully it will support postgresql? It's such a better database . .
02:51 queso chris: or does support it?
02:52 chris it used to, it could now, if someone cleaned up those sql files
02:52 chris but im not interested in a database war :)
02:52 chris or vim vs emacs or anything else like that
02:54 queso chris: okay, no prob. :) so right now it officially only supports mysql?
02:55 chris yup
02:55 chris 3.2.x does
02:55 robin chris: just so long as you agree that bash is better than tcsh
02:55 chris hehe
02:56 chris i dont use a shell, i tap wires together to change voltage currents
02:56 queso heh
02:57 queso Are the debian packages, when no longer experimental, intended to be supported long-term?
02:57 chris yes
02:58 chris we missed squeeze obviously, but we plan to get them in the next stable release
02:58 queso very nice.  thank you for your help, Chris, I appreciate it.
02:59 chris the main blocker to that is not actually code, but copyright statements, we need to tidy that up on a bunch of files
02:59 chris codewise the packages work well
03:00 queso chris: oh, you mean in terms of getting added to debian repos?  how stable are the debs that are there now?  usable?  or should I just go through with a regular install?
03:00 chris id use the packages
03:00 chris we do (at catalyst) for our clients
03:01 queso If that's the case, then the debs will be good enough for my personal library :)
03:01 chris if you want to do development
03:01 chris i would install koha-common
03:01 chris that will pull in all the dependencies (on squeeze that is)
03:01 chris and then you could clone the repo in git
03:02 chris and run perl Makefile.PL there and choose dev install
03:02 chris that way you can make changes in the repo and have them show up straight away
03:02 chris (that's how i do my development installs anyway)
03:03 queso chris: Okay, I will look into that . . unfortunately I don't know perl
03:05 chris you could fix the .sql files :-)
03:08 queso chris: fix as in remove the mysql-isms?  is there a configuration variable somewhere to say which database to use?  presumably you'd want the .sql files tested in mysql and postgres.  does koha use an orm?
03:09 chris yep there is a configuration variable, it gets set in the koha-conf.xml file
03:10 chris when you run perl Makefile.PL
03:10 chris it will ask you
03:10 chris but seriously, i wouldnt attempt it until you have got koha working for what you want to do first
03:13 queso yeah.  I'll see about helping with that after I've been using it for a bit.  are you frequently in this channel?  I presume (perhaps erroneously) that you are the Chris committing in the git repository?
03:13 chris yeah, im here most days (nz time)
03:15 queso must be nice working on an open source project. :) never done it myself.  I'm near Chicago . . anyway, nice to meet you.  Time for me to go relax. :)
03:15 chris cya later, good luck with the install :)
03:15 queso chris: thanks again for your help

07:24 kf hm, can't delete itemtype - says it's used 10 times
07:24 kf but it's not in items and not in the marcxml
07:24 kf old version of koha though - 3.01.61
07:24 chris check biblioitems.itemtype
07:24 druthb look for it in biblioitems.itemtype?
07:24 druthb jinx!
07:25 chris :)
07:25 chris also, the circ rules
07:25 kf chris/druthb good tipp thx!"
07:25 kf circ rules are clean, now checking bibioitems.itemtype
07:26 kf thx chris :)
07:26 kf thx druthb :)
07:26 druthb :)
07:28 kf this itemtype on biblio level is really a pain
07:29 chris well see it never used to be at biblio level
07:29 chris thats why it was at biblioitem, it was only once biblio an biblioitem became 1-1 that this happened
07:29 kf makes sense
07:29 kf there is also a bug I wanted to report like forever
07:30 kf something with holds not working if you have an itemtype on bibliolevel that is not for hold
07:30 chris it used to be 1 biblio -> many biblioitems -> many items
07:30 kf but have to retest in a current version
07:30 chris but MARC cant handle that
07:31 chris right now, if magnus was here he would paste this
07:31 chris http://marc-must-die.info/index.php/Main_Page
07:31 chris :)
07:31 kf hehe
07:34 kf itemtype deleted.
07:34 druthb As long as the 900-pound gorilla that is OCLC says the MARC record isn't gonna die, then it won't die.  In this country, anyway, if you want to participate in ILL in any big way, you're gonna have to deal with OCLC.
07:35 chris yeah
07:35 chris sometimes libraries are their own worst enemies
07:35 druthb s/libraries/librarians/
07:35 chris but
07:35 chris dealing with MARC
07:35 chris doesnt mean we have to only deal with MARC
07:36 chris just means we have to be able to crosswalk to and from it
07:36 druthb correct.  I'd like to see Koha become more format-agnostic.
07:36 chris yup
07:37 druthb That has lots of hairy implications--how do you manage those format policies, indexing, editing tools, display, and on and on.  But I'd like to see it able to handle any ISO-2709 or XML-compliant record.
07:37 chris yep
07:37 chris it wont be easy, but its something we should move to, we can move much faster than the big dinosaurs
07:37 chris gotta keep evolving or die
07:37 druthb yup.

10:27 Nur I am facing problem to install net-zoom-perl module
10:29 Nur when I am trying to install libnet-z3950-zoom-perl it says
10:31 Nur libnet-z3950-zoom-perl : Depends: libyaz3
10:33 Nur anybody is here
10:33 Nur please help me to solve this problem
10:35 kf Nur: sorry, I am not sure how this can be solves - which OS are you using?
11:04 Nur I ma using debian squeeze
11:04 Nur and I installed libyaz4
11:07 Nur anybody can help me by giving squeeze repository that mean source /etc/apt/sources.list
11:07 Nur which are appropriate for koha
11:08 irma left #koha
11:10 kf I think you need no entry in the sources.list
11:10 kf have you added an entry there? I once had a problem when installing on the newest version of ubuntu
11:11 kf and it was solved after I deleted the indexdata repositories from my sources list that I had added earlier (using an older manual) and used sudo apt-get
11:12 Nur but  I am using squeeze
11:13 Nur I installed 3.02.00, on squeeze 4 times
11:13 Nur but I did not faced this problem before.
11:14 kf I am sorry, out of ideas then

13:19 schuster heyo!
13:23 ephazz thing is in my current system, holdings information is held in field 852a - Lcation, 852k - Call number prefix e.g. HF, 852h - Classification part e.g. 5415, 852i - Item part e.g. SMI. Now i want to map do i do these to koha what
13:23 ephazz what do i do
13:24 ephazz Barcode is in 852p
13:25 jwagner ephazz, do you have branchcodes in 852a and 852b?
13:27 ephazz no, 852a is for the location of the book e.g. Main Library Openshelves
13:30 ephazz can i send someone my sample marc record to play around with?

13:52 druthb little bit.  Getting up to get pretty for breakfast in an hour.  :)
13:52 kf_a joined #koha
14:09 jwagner ephazz, sorry, was away.  the 952a has to be a branchcode.  What you're talking about is shelving location, which is 952c.  And you have to use the actual policy codes, not the descriptions.
14:12 druthb is now known as ruth_brb
14:12 schuster ephazz - sorry was reading some things on RDA - you need to use a marc editor program to change all your 852 stuff to 952 before importing unless you change the framework.
14:13 kf_a and changing the framework is not a good idea - because you would have to chagne all zebra indexes as well
14:13 schuster MarcEdit is a great tool to help you with that.  Or there are other Marc Editing tools you can use as well.  well there ya have it from kf_a!
14:13 jwagner Here is a breakdown of the Koha item fields from the old manual: http://koha.org/documentation/[…]2item%20fields%22
14:13 jwagner Can't find the equivalent table in the current manual offhand -- must be there somewhere but I'm not finding it.
14:13 kf_a is now known as kf
14:14 schuster ah thanks jwagner I didn't have a chance to look at that yet.
14:14 kf schuster: tried that once in the beginning - no fun :) better way is to make data koha-ish

14:18 munin Bug 5611: blocker, P5, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, can't add comments and tags in the OPAC when mod_perl is activated
14:20 owen briceSanc: I thought I saw atz say something yesterday about tags not working under mod_perl. Or is that discussion where the bug report comes from?
14:20 atz briceSanc was the one reporting it
14:20 atz i think if we are going to try to support mod_perl it will take a lot more effort though

14:36 eternalsw We are using Cutter's two-figure table to generate our cutter number.  This needs to be made available to the spine label system as well as shown along with the call number on search results.  I would like it in the add item form.  I have a php script that calculates the cutter number when given the author's name and the title.  I'm not very proficient with perl and need some guidance.
14:38 chris_n atz: they are rolling out all of their business features to academic accounts
14:38 chris_n in the process there are some bugs... imagine that
14:39 chris_n with multiple logins
14:39 eternalsw I'm assuming I need to add a column to one of the database tables for cutter number?  or is there some equivalent field that I can just tie into?
14:39 chris_n it appears that one of those is to confuse the oid service as to which account you really are logging in under
14:41 kf eternalsw: perhaps try the mailinglist for your question - koha-devel should be a good starting point
14:41 kf etnernalsw: I have no idea what a cutternumber is :)
14:42 schuster eternalsw - isn't it just part of the regular call number?
14:43 eternalsw is it possible to have a multiline call number in koha?
14:43 schuster have any of you heard of "Next-L Enju is an open source integrated library system developed by Project Next-L, the library geek community in Japan launched on November 2006."
14:43 schuster I guess you could use the copy field
14:43 schuster I don't speak/read Japanese - but here is an example of that catalog - http://iss.ndl.go.jp/ - it is supposed to be frbrized...
14:44 briceSanc owen, atz, our first school of 21 is running Koha since this Monday: sthyacinthe.koha.ccsr.qc.ca
14:45 schuster briceSanc - cool!  you mean your first batch of 21 schools?

14:46 owen briceSanc: Did you make changes to the OPAC template or is that all CSS?
14:47 briceSanc owen, we have made changes in CCS and a little in HTML
14:47 schuster Yes the displays are very clean in the opac.
14:47 kf looks very nice!
14:48 briceSanc it was very hard to make a new template and stay close to the community
14:49 kf I like the icons for lists and cart

15:00 eternalsw I guess I can add it to the call number fieldseparated by some special character and add some javascript to insert a <br /> instead of that character
15:03 kf eternalsw: I think the label module does some line breaking of callnumbers
15:04 kf I think adding a line break in opac will cause some problems
15:04 kf for example the availability line in search results
15:04 kf displays the callnumber - a line break would not work good there
15:05 eternalsw will play around with it.  need to find out how to add it to the call number first.
15:05 eternalsw automatically that is.

15:50 wizzyrea it would be neat to have a folder filing system for saved reports :P
15:51 kf have thoguht the same a while ago
15:51 kf like "end of year statistics" "maintenance" etc.
15:51 * owen startles at the sudden appearance of wizzyrea
15:51 wizzyrea hello :)
15:51 kf and hi liz :)
15:51 wizzyrea good morning/evening, as the case may be
15:51 wizzyrea kf: yes, def
15:52 wizzyrea I can see an authorized value type thing, where you define your report categories, then you get a drop down to pick when you create it
15:52 * wizzyrea is looking at a list of saved reports of over 200, sighs.
15:53 wizzyrea edit -> find is my friend I guess
15:53 wizzyrea back to my hole now
15:54 owen Firefox preferences -> Advanced -> General -> Accessibility -> Search for text when I start typing
15:54 wizzyrea oh wow, that's a great tip
15:54 wizzyrea I did not know it did that
15:54 owen It's one of the first things I turn on with any new Firefox install. I wish Chrome had it.
16:08 briceSanc what do you think about zebraqueue daemon ?
16:12 wizzyrea I've heard that it has memory leaks
16:12 wizzyrea or something.
16:14 briceSanc yes, but can we use it if we restart the daemon every night ?
16:15 schuster wizzyrea++ on the reports problem - I have over 1200 of them...  Not fun to edit 50 of them every year when I have to change dates for say the end of year report.
16:15 schuster It is also slow to bring up the list because there are soooooo many of them.
16:16 ibot okay, schuster.
16:16 owen ibot: Forget it
16:16 ibot owen: I forgot it
16:16 owen ibot: Never remember it again
16:16 ibot owen: excuse me?
16:16 schuster oooo ibot has an attitude...
16:16 schuster Like my 10 year old.
16:17 schuster I thought something was in the works for this with community?  3.4?
16:17 schuster The reports piece.
16:18 schuster hmmm - RFC - but no action maybe - http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]uided_reports_RFC
16:23 jcamins_a Is there a syspref to enable placing a hold on items that are on order?
16:23 kf no
16:23 owen jcamins_a: I think the trick is you have to have at least one item?
16:23 kf on order like not for loan on order?
16:24 kf jcamins_a: using the new acq you can create items during the order process - you can use a speciel itemtype if you want or the normal itemtype that can be placed on hold anyway
16:25 jcamins_a Hm, we have items already, but with notforloan set to -1.
16:25 kf schuster: that's available in 3.2 - check the help files for sql reports - guided reports is a bit misleading
16:26 hdl joined #koha
16:26 kf jcamins_a: I think the problem is that on order is not treated differently than the other not for loan values
16:27 jcamins_a Okay, so if an item is on order, you can't place a hold on it, at least at the moment.
16:27 jcamins_a Thanks.
16:28 kf hm jcamins_a: bug 2341
16:28 munin Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=2341 critical, P3, ---, chris, NEW, items marked 'On Order' (notforloan == -1) don't interact correctly with opac-reserve.tmpl
16:28 kf not sure about the status
16:28 kf it's quite old
16:28 owen jcamins_a: We can place holds on on-order items in NPL's live catalog, but that's a little behind 3.2
16:29 jcamins_a Hm.
16:29 jcamins_a I guess this probably is a misconfiguration, then.
16:29 kf I don't see a way to configure it
16:29 jcamins_a Hm.
16:29 jcamins_a Well, I'll work on it a bit later.
16:30 kf I thought i was not able to place holds on them... have to recheck sometime :(
16:30 kf time to leave
16:30 kf bye all :)
16:30 kf left #koha
16:33 owen jcamins_a: I'm interested to hear what you find. My test system doesn't let me put a hold on on-order items either, so that's a red flag for NPL

21:00 wizzyrea @later tell sekjal totally dig the rfc for holds improvements. WANT.
21:00 munin wizzyrea: The operation succeeded.
21:01 hudsonbot Starting build 82 for job Koha_3.2.x (previous build: SUCCESS)
21:01 owen I read that RFC the same way I watched previous for the new Tron movie. Want to be excited about it, but don't want to set myself up for disappointment.
21:01 owen s/previous/previews
21:02 wizzyrea ya, I think even if it's initially buggy, a lot of the underlying things that boggle us day to day will be helped by it
21:03 * wizzyrea doesn't mind buggy, as long as we can fix it
21:03 chris developed in the open and released early and often for testing
21:03 chris thems the keys
21:05 cait :)
21:08 wizzyrea speaking of which, did you see the new tron, owen?
21:08 * wizzyrea hasn't seen it yet
21:08 owen It's worth seeing if you're a fan of the original

22:30 wasabi hi folks, a pretty random perl question here...
22:31 wasabi does anyone else often get these errors in the koha log, when dev-ing...
22:31 wasabi " Digit.pl: Deep recursion on subroutine "utf8::SWASHNEW" at /usr/share/perl/5.10/utf8_heavy.pl line 251.,"
22:31 wasabi i seem to get these, *rather* than a more helpful general syntax error :/
22:33 wasabi my code often seems to give me that error and spin in a hard-loop, rather than print the syntax error and die
22:34 wasabi anyone else bump into the same problem?
22:34 chris nope
22:35 atz strange.... sounds like you have some malformed unicode data
22:35 atz or maybe your locale is set to something non UTF8?
22:35 wasabi yeah, its a weird none, for me too...
22:40 wasabi ooooh, http://lists.katipo.co.nz/publ[…]nuary/022277.html
22:41 wasabi something very similar
22:42 wasabi tho, my DEBUG level is at 1, not 2...
22:45 hdl1 left #koha
22:46 wasabi ive made a trivial edit to detail.pl, and i get this crazy error and a hardloop
22:49 wasabi wow, setting KOHA_DEBUG "0" , and DEBUG "0"  in my apache conf fixed that!
22:50 wasabi oops, it didn't fix it :/
