07:03 chris hi BobB
07:03 BobB Hi Chris
07:04 BobB I'm in Brisbane for Linux Conf.  Very hot and humid but at least we are above the water line.
07:04 chris yeah, sounds like they did a good job finding an alternative venue on short notice
07:06 BobB The organisers have done an amazing job.  They re-planned the conference in 10 days.  Very impressive.
07:06 BobB Chris, I want to follow up on a problem that Seth Mayo raised on list this afternoon.  Very puzzling.
07:07 chris yeah, the first thing id do is check the items table
07:07 chris make sure the items exist there
07:07 chris and have barcodes
07:07 chris because circulation doesnt care about marc
07:07 BobB Unfortunately I don't have access to his system, but I am certain the barcodes are in 952$p.
07:08 BobB Are you saying that Search will use Marc but circulation doesn't?  He can search on barcodes and find his items.
07:08 chris yeah that uses the MARC
07:08 chris circulation uses the items table
07:09 chris so thats what you need to check
07:09 BobB OK, so if there's a problem at Items level the record will be found by Search but won't be recognised at Circulation?
07:09 chris potentially yes
07:10 BobB That's what he is seeing.
07:10 BobB I cannot think of any other reason.
07:11 chris yeah
07:11 wasabi heya BobB
07:11 BobB I'll get him to make the inquiry you suggested and also check that items.barcode is mapped to 952$p.  Anything else?
07:12 BobB Hi Mason!
07:12 wasabi potentially goofy padding before/after the barcode too
07:13 wasabi /cgi-bin/koha/admin/koha2marclinks.pl is the place to check 1st
07:13 BobB Which the SQL query should also reveal?
07:13 chris checking the items actually exist and whats in the barcode table is the first thing
07:13 chris if there are either no items, or the items have no barcodes
07:14 chris then the next thing to check is the linkage
07:14 wasabi select * from items where barcode = '99999' etc...
07:14 chris naw,
07:14 chris just select barcode from items limit 10;
07:14 chris is all you need to do first
07:15 chris just to see what is in the barcodes column
07:15 chris then depending on what you find, you have a bunch of things to check next
07:15 wasabi well, id go looking at specific problem bib/item, myself..
07:15 chris they are all problems
07:16 wasabi sure, so choose one of them, for starters :)
07:17 chris i think thats the long way, you cant rule anything out with only one
07:17 chris first thing you want to check is do the items exist
07:17 wasabi but yeah, it will be the marc-items table linking stuff thats the prob
07:17 chris next, do they have barcodes
07:18 wasabi just compare them to a working sane koha, to detect where its busted
07:18 BobB OK, there's enough for starters.  I'll buzz off and ring Seth.  Prolly having dinner!
07:18 BobB Thanks heaps you guys.
07:19 wasabi if you imported the bibs using bulkmarcimport.pl you may have a problem
07:20 wasabi im not sure that bulkmarcimport.pl creates the item records
07:21 wasabi so in that situ, zebra searching works, coz its indexed the item records fine...
07:22 wasabi but no actual item rows exist in the items table, for circ to work
07:22 wasabi which is basically what chris.c just said  :)
07:24 BobB But bulkmarcimport.pl does create item records, if a 952 field is present?
07:24 wasabi i cant remember, offhand - its been a while since i last used it
07:24 wasabi but im pretty sure it does
07:26 wasabi most of the bibs i've imported using the tool, didnt have item/952 info
07:26 BobB We'll have to wait for Seth to tell us whether items are present.  He isn't about at present.  I've left a message.
07:28 wasabi anyone else know about bulkimport.pl importing item-level info correctly ?
07:31 chris yeah it works fine
07:32 wasabi cool, i shut up then...
07:34 BobB Gotta go.  Will let you know the outcome when I hear back from Seth.
07:34 BobB Thanks again.

14:46 paul_p jwagner, nope, I don't know anything specific about this bug. We always have Autotruncate=OFF now, because the patrons are in trouble when they don't expect a short word to be autotruncate !
14:46 schuster joined #koha
14:49 jwagner auto truncate is off, but we have a site reporting that wildcard (*) isn't working in advanced search.  This was the nearest bugzilla entry I found, so I was hoping :-)
14:49 jwagner Correction, not the * but just truncation in general they're saying doesn't work in advanced search.

15:02 owen Looks like that XXX slipped in by mistake
15:02 paul_p mmm.... 3.0300XXX means it's an unfinished merge. If it's an uptodate fetch, then it means chris means something
15:02 paul_p ( 'morning owen )

18:27 lavamind hello, using koha-3.2.2, I'm trying to install translated preferences, but it's not working : running translate -p install <lang>, the *.pref files are created but not translated! (still in English)
18:27 chris what language lavamind ?
18:27 lavamind yet in the .po files, I see there are translations for prefs in that language
18:27 lavamind fr-FR
18:28 chris drop an email to koha-translate@lists.koha-community.org
18:28 cait lavamind: standard install or dev install?
18:28 lavamind cait: standard
18:28 cait there was a bug fixed for standard install - I think in 3.2.3
18:28 cait before it was not working for standard
18:28 chris ahh that might be it
18:28 lavamind oh
18:28 lavamind should I clone from git then ?
18:28 chris you could get 3.2.3 and upgrade
18:29 cait you can update to 3.2.3 that should work too - but have not tested it since it was changed
18:29 chris is it a production system?
18:29 lavamind chris : yes, more or less, it's for teaching
18:30 chris then do a backup or 2 before upgrading :)
18:30 chris cait: can you remember the bug number?
18:30 lavamind the class hasn't started yet, so it's not too bad
18:31 lavamind if you have a commit id that could work too
18:31 chris ill just check it has been fixed (lots of other fixes in 3.2.3 so worth upgrading anyway)
18:31 chris http://koha-community.org/2101koha-3-2-3/
18:31 cait chris: it was from frederic
18:31 cait perhaps several fixed in one bug
18:31 * chris will look
18:32 cait where are you from lavamind?
18:32 Brooke left #koha
18:32 lavamind cait: Montreal, Quebec, Canada
18:32 cait ah
18:32 sekjal chris:  aaaah, there's a difference in C4/Auth.pm, but it's the OPAC Public dev....
18:33 cait that's far away :)
18:33 lavamind cait: yep 'the other side'
18:34 chris ohh, do you know eric begin?
18:34 chris cait: cant find the commit
18:34 lavamind if you want the scoop, I work for a public college and we just dropped Workflows for Koha in the curriculum
18:35 chris lavamind: maybe drop an email to koha-translate@lists.koha-community.org, frederic (a fellow french speaker) is the translation manager
18:35 chris and will see it
18:35 lavamind chris: no, I dont think I know him
18:35 cait chris: http://git.koha-community.org/[…]c351178f595316798
18:35 chris and then the answer will be archived for all to see
18:35 chris thanks cait
18:35 lavamind I'm completely new to the Koha community here
18:35 chris ahhh he works for inlibro
18:35 chris s/works/owns/
18:36 chris http://www.inlibro.com/solutions/koha
18:37 chris and i work with someone who is from quebec city (lives in nz now) .. those the only 2 people from quebec i know :)
18:37 chris lavamind: and that is excellent news about using Koha in the curriculum
18:38 chris eric_b: you awake? :)
18:38 lavamind yes it is, I wish it would have been sooner, because I'm rushing to deploy 50 instances of Koha correctly
18:38 lavamind btw, should I use mod_perl &??
18:39 chris lavamind/cait: that is exactly the commit you want, and its in 3.2.3
18:39 chris lavamind: koha isnt totally mod_perl safe, having said that there are people using it, im fairly confident the opac can run under mod_perl with no major issues
18:40 chris brice sanchez runs under mod_perl and is happy with it
18:40 lavamind chris: I'll stick to cgi then, performance shouldn't be much of an issue, reliability is more important
18:40 chris *nod*
18:40 chris we are working on it, there are few circular refs and global variables to tidy up
18:41 chris on a different note
18:43 chris I am going to Access in Vancouver at the end of the year http://access2011.library.ubc.ca/
18:44 lavamind chris: my field is more IT, so I doubt we'll meet there
18:44 chris there is going to be a preconf about FOSS in libraries, which you may or may not want to attend, the conference itself is always great (from all accounts) (I think im speaking during the conference proper too)
18:44 chris lavamind: so is mine
18:44 chris its an IT in libraries conference
18:44 lavamind I see, interesting
18:46 druthb I've heard awesome things about Access.  Wonder if I can get Brendan to send me...
18:46 chris im sure you can :)
18:47 * druthb would not turn down another opportunity to see chris, either.  :)
18:47 chris ok time for my bus, be back from on the bus, 3g permitting
18:49 lavamind if I want the web installer to propose a language other the English, do I simply need to run misc/translator/translate from the uncompressed install dir?
18:49 lavamind or should I really just install translations _after_ "make install" ?
18:49 kmkale left #koha
18:54 fredericd lavamind: install translation before runing the web installer
18:57 lavamind fredericd: ok, yeah, logical :)

19:10 lavamind is it feasible to duplicate a koha site (ie. one.koha.mydomain.com, two.koha.mydomain.com) automatically ? or am I really stuck running perl Makefile.PL every time ?
19:11 lavamind right now I'm thinking that by adjusting koha-http, koha-conf, I could make it work?
19:11 cait sorry, i have no experience with setting up multiple instances on one server
19:11 chris lavamind: yes
19:12 cait ah, and chris is back :)
19:12 chris Use the koha-common debian packages
19:12 chris Then you run koha-create newsite
19:12 chris 50 times
19:13 chris :)
19:13 lavamind whoa, really
19:13 chris Or, you can just do a standard install
19:14 chris Make 50 dbs, 50 apache config, and 50 koha-conf.xml
19:14 chris Copying the first ones
19:14 chris And changing db names and passwords
19:15 chris then they all run from same codebase
19:15 lavamind chris: that's amazing, thank you so much
19:16 chris No worries
19:16 lavamind chris: I saw a page on the wiki about running multiple instance, but it was much more convoluted than that
19:17 chris Yeah sep conf and db
19:17 chris Is all you really need

19:48 lavamind cait: opac and intranet translations are installed OK
19:48 cait lavamind: sorry, out of ideas now :(
19:49 cait you could add to the bug report that it's still not working
19:49 ebegin lavamind, make sure you have the files in your the installed version of Koha and not the installer directory...
19:50 ebegin you may have installed koha in /usr/share/koha/
19:50 lavamind ebegin: I'm working exclusively from the installed koha dir, not installer
19:51 lavamind ebegin: yes, I made sure I'm at the right place, like I said, the template translations are not missing
19:51 lavamind the .pref files are installed under fr-FR, but contain English strings
19:52 fredericd lavamind: is it a normal or devel install?
19:53 lavamind fredericd: "standard"
19:54 fredericd translated .pref files may have been copied in the wrong location
19:54 ebegin lavamind, did you run ./tmpl_process3.pl install -i ...
19:54 fredericd try a locate opac.pref

19:57 lac any particular reason why my marc records are not being added or updated to the search results?  i tried running misc/migration_tools/rebuild_nozebra.pl but that didn't resolve the issue
19:58 chris and you are definitely running nozebra?
19:58 chris what version of koha?
19:58 lac chris: yes, 3.2
19:58 chris 3.2.what?
19:58 chris 3.2.0 ?

20:00 lavamind fredericd: seems to me like .pref files are copies okay : http://pastebin.com/5F8XaKPh
20:00 chris nozebra isnt maintained any more, but before you do that, can you check the records exist in the db?
20:01 lac chris: yes, they exist in the db but their marc blob is outdated i guess, i'm attaching items to records and i'll get the error "item cannot be added" but then it gets added and i can't find the record by searching
20:02 Nate left #koha
20:03 chris ahh but the marc hasnt been updated? (or the marcxml) ie there is a new item but the marc hasnt been changed?
20:03 lac chris: exactly
20:04 chris right, then running zebra wont help, do you have a test instance you can upgrade to 3.2.3?
20:05 lac chris: yes
20:06 chris id give that a whirl, and also check your apache error logs
20:07 lavamind fredericd, ebegin: I found the problem
20:08 ebegin lavamind, what was it?
20:09 lavamind based on the commit diff cait put here just before, there's a bug remaining in misc/translate
20:09 lavamind oops I mean LangInstaller.pm
20:11 chris it might be just a pet peeve of mine, but sending a .doc file about an open source workshop makes me dismiss it

20:34 owen The phrase "roaming bittorrents," for the moment, gets zero hits.

20:59 chris thats the one
21:00 chris you can try the other one if you are brave (it runs the script to generate the templates)
21:00 chris but template_test has them pregenerated
21:00 fredericd you mean with TT templates already there?
21:00 fredericd (I'm reading koha wiki)
21:01 fredericd http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]late_toolkit_test

21:02 fredericd and what has to be tested exactly?
21:02 fredericd I can see a location on the opac where accented characters are not properly displayed

21:18 lavamind someone just needs to moderate the message I suppose
21:18 fredericd lavamind: send me your patch by email. I will sign-off it and resubmit it to the list.
21:18 fredericd you still will get the credit for the patch
21:18 cait lavamind: I only wondered why it didn't come through yet
21:20 lavamind fredericd: patch sent
21:20 fredericd get it
21:23 lavamind Perhaps this page should be adjusted : http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]aff_client#Koha_3.2
21:23 lavamind « Note: This will only work with a dev installation, not in a standard installation. To install additional languages in a standard installation you can still use the old script, but it will only work for translation of staff and opac, not for translation of system preferences.  Â» <== not anymore, it works now!
21:23 fredericd lavamind: yes, this is not true anymore
21:24 lavamind As of 3.2.4 ?
21:25 lavamind I suppose the patch will make it in the next minor release ?
21:25 fredericd lavamind: this problem is for 3.2 Release Manager
21:25 lavamind heheh
21:26 fredericd we have now a problem with 3.2 monthly version release
21:26 fredericd The release doesn't contains translated Koha templates
21:26 fredericd and Koha don't have an integrated way for generating templates from .po files
21:27 fredericd so, people are supposed to do it by hand, as you've done
21:27 lavamind it would indeed be nice for those to be integrated in the install itself
21:27 fredericd but average person installing Koha on 'standard' mode are not supposed to run script by hand
21:28 fredericd yes, the plan is to modify web installer to translate templates during the installation process
21:28 lavamind yeah, and even then, lots of docs still mention the "tmpl_process3.pl" script
21:29 lavamind it was difficult to understand why those two commands existed
21:29 fredericd This will be done for 3.4 not 3.2 (translation from .po file on the fly)
21:30 chris got 3 more months to do that :-)
21:30 wizzyrea boo no brooke
21:30 lavamind installing translations from the web installer would be awsome
21:31 fredericd chris: That's the reason why I'm curious to see new TT templates...
21:31 chris fredericd: chris hall has been working on rewriting the translator scripts to work with template toolkit, it will mean not having to retranslate everything
21:31 fredericd that sounds too good to be true...
21:31 chris so just need to get the webinstaller to call the right script
21:31 chris well .po files dont actually care where the string exists
21:31 chris so its not that hard to do

22:02 wizzyrea woot!
22:02 jcamins Thank you!
22:02 jcamins wizzyrea++
22:02 wizzyrea :) sure
22:02 wizzyrea ahshucks
22:03 wizzyrea and yours is universal
22:03 wizzyrea mine was ppc only (rosetta)
22:03 wizzyrea oh it uses zbar :) of course it does
22:04 darling http://www.springenwerk.com/20[…]oogles-zxing.html
22:04 wizzyrea oh yea, darling's been working with zxing
22:04 darling ^ a bit raw but I like zxing on android
22:05 wizzyrea ye, that's the one that I'm using on my android
22:05 wizzyrea oh, for that you'll need the xcode tools, for bruji
22:06 jcamins Hm.
22:07 jcamins This is a bit trickier than I would have expected.
22:07 jcamins I have xcode. I'll try bruji now.
22:08 wizzyrea i know there were more >.<
22:09 * jcamins gets frustrated with EvoBarcode and moves on.
22:10 jcamins Clearly I'm missing something here.
22:11 wizzyrea yea, i'm not sure the last time I tried it worked :/
22:12 * jcamins gives up
22:16 wizzyrea meh that's maddening
22:16 * wizzyrea thinks perhaps she needs better light
22:17 wizzyrea aha
22:17 wizzyrea Does EvoBarcode work with the built-in iSight on iMac, MacBook and MacBook Pro computers?
22:17 wizzyrea No. The built-in iSight does not have focus control, and will not work reliably with EvoBarcode. For best results we recommend an external iSight or similar camera with focus control.
22:17 wizzyrea I don't have an external iSight. Can I use a different kind of camera?
22:17 wizzyrea Yes. EvoBarcode will recognize any QuickTime-compatible camera, however not all cameras provide a high enough quality image for barcode scanning. We recommend the external iSight because it provides a very high quality image, and good manual focus controls, but other users have had success with other IIDC cameras, DV camcorders, and USB cameras.
22:18 wizzyrea so, try your point and shoot, if it does webcam-type stuff
22:22 jcamins Blah.
22:22 jcamins Don't have a camera.
22:22 jcamins Maybe Nate does.
22:22 jcamins Or maybe I just give up on this, and tell the library "when you have a working barcode scanner, it'll be really cool."
22:23 Nate I have cameras
22:23 chris they cost next to nothing
22:23 Nate :)
22:23 chris and you can get one at pretty much any store like frys, or best buy
22:23 chris just grab a cheap usb one
22:23 wizzyrea cameras or barcode scanners?
22:24 chris barcode scanner
22:24 chris itll come in hand for lots of things
22:24 jcamins chris: wait, let me guess... it's nice and warm in NZ, isn't it? :P
22:24 wizzyrea I haven't ever seen one at our best buy
22:24 chris they had them last time i was there, try staples
22:25 chris even if you dont get one now, definitely get one, it saves tons of time testing things
22:25 jcamins Yeah, I need one at some point.
22:26 chris course your phone works with koha too
22:26 chris thats how we issued everyone at kohacon
22:28 jcamins chris: one step at a time. First we introduce computers, *then* we introduce smartphones. :)
