06:40 rangi prolly not worth adding that one tho
06:41 rangi i think thats all of them :)
06:44 kmkale chris got a minute?
06:47 kmkale many of the templates in opac which deal with users data eg opac-account.tmpl, opac-passwd.tmpl etc do not have a id for the container div like opac-user.tmpl has an id userdetail. having these id's makes it easier to customize with css. If you think adding such id's is a good idea, I can make a bug and a patch.
06:48 rangi yes, that is a good idea
06:48 rangi everything should have an id
06:48 rangi i cant think of any reason not to give something one, even if we never use it, it cant hurt :)
06:49 kmkale cool

13:18 oleonard No
13:19 jcamins Okay.
13:19 jcamins I think I'll take a stab at it.
13:19 oleonard what's your plan?
13:20 jcamins I'm still working on that.

13:28 jcamins Does anyone know of a way to quickly delete a huge number of records from MySQL?
13:29 druthb joined #koha
13:30 jwagner jcamins, is there something identifiably unique about them?
13:30 jwagner i.e., can you select where....
13:30 jcamins jwagner: yeah.
13:30 jcamins Huh. That was weird.
13:30 jcamins DELETE FROM biblio WHERE biblionumber < 51200 only took 1:30 today.
13:31 jcamins Cool. If there's a better day to do it, though, I'd be grateful for any pointers.
13:32 jcamins I've been spending a lot of time deleting records of late.
13:33 jcamins Never mind. The DELETE didn't work right. That's why it was so fast.
13:34 jwagner I don't work at the MySQL level much, but if you can do a where you should be able to frame a select.
13:34 jwagner What do you get if you do a select with the biblionumber < 51200?
13:34 jcamins Oh, I got all the results I want to delete.
13:35 jcamins The problem is when there are no typos, deleting 50k records takes a loooooooooooong time.
13:35 kf not sure it will be faster
13:35 kf but I had problems with tables where I was not allowed to delete more than one line at a time (not koha)
13:35 kf and we did rewrite the output from a select to delete statements, using concat
13:36 jwagner kf, that sounds painful
13:37 jcamins Ah. I see why it was so fast.
13:37 jwagner jcamins, I assume you've checked that these records aren't linked to anything?
13:37 jcamins It took 1:30 to delete about 10k records.
13:37 jcamins jwagner: they are. I'd be fine with manually reconciling foreign key constraints, though.
13:38 jcamins I'm just going to blow away the database after I figure out what's going on anyway.
13:38 kf jwagner: only a little painful, once you have the statement it's pretty fast to do
13:39 jcamins Ooh, I'll try SET foreign_key_checks = 0;
13:39 jcamins Woohoo! 4.2 seconds.

13:57 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5709 enhancement, P5, ---, brice.sanchez, ASSIGNED, Adding the ability to translate HTML5 placeholder text in an input field
13:57 oleonard Should we be modifying the translator script to accommodate a feature that isn't in Koha?
14:00 kf oleonard: I think the question is if the translator script will be changed for template toolkit
14:00 kf and if we want to change it now before that happens?
14:00 kf and do we plan to use html5 in koha
14:01 oleonard I think we should plan to use html5 in koha eventually
14:02 oleonard We've got too many template-wide change bugs at the moment: bug 4048, bug 5481
14:02 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4048 normal, P5, ---, oleonard, ASSIGNED, CSS and JS libs must be outside of translated paths

14:03 kf I think we should wait for the next version perhaps
14:03 kf when the change to template toolkit is done
14:05 nengard joined #koha
14:05 druthb Good morning, from code4lib.  :)
14:06 sekjal I'm interested in a second template directory with all the templates done in HTML5 and CSS3
14:06 sekjal oh, and found another followup fix for bug 5462
14:06 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5462 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, Fix variable names so we dont break template::toolkit
14:07 oleonard sekjal: why a second one?
14:07 sekjal the change to the templates breaks the patron messaging preferences form
14:07 oleonard sekjal: Sorry, I mean why a second template directory?
14:08 sekjal oleonard:  ah
14:08 sekjal since not every browser supports HTML5 yet, we can keep koha's requirements lower by making HTML5 optional at first
14:09 sekjal also, we can develop it in parallel, and fall back to prog if things get weird
14:15 jcamins For those of you who have been waiting with bated breath to learn how to delete massive numbers of records, here is what I did:
14:15 jcamins SET autocommit=0;
14:15 jcamins Increased innodb_buffer_pool_size as much as possible.
14:15 jcamins Ran the delete.
14:15 jcamins (actually, I increased innodb_buffer_pool_size first)
14:16 jcamins It was slow, but not like before.
14:18 jcamins I left foreign_key_checks alone, since that makes the deletion propagate.

15:08 jcamins Authorities are searching fine, but biblios are not.
15:09 kf have you reindexed with a and b?
15:09 jcamins Yup.
15:10 sekjal jcamins: corrupted biblio record
15:10 sekjal ?
15:10 jcamins Probably.
15:10 wahanui hmmm... probably is already fixed in 3.2.x and 3.4
15:11 jcamins Apparently the very first record, in fact.

15:11 jcamins You'd think there would be some sort of error, though.

15:13 kmkale left #koha
15:15 jcamins OpacSuppression, rather.
15:16 jwagner jcamins, do you mean the record wasn't searching because it was suppressed, or it was failing to index/corrupting because it was suppressed?
15:17 jcamins jwagner: no results were coming up because OpacSuppression was turned on.

19:14 fcapo Hello, I have some questions on Zebra reindexation : is anybody working on a replacement for zebraqueue right now?
19:15 fcapo Our clients need to have live reindexation of records, so right now we are using zebraqueue with a restart every night because of its memory leaks :/
19:16 jcamins fcapo: I think ebegin was doing some work on that.
19:17 ebegin I had a look at it, but I was pulled by something else and didn't have time to look at it since.
19:17 Guest756 left #koha
19:18 ebegin but it still in my todo list :)
19:18 fcapo ok, good :)
19:19 fcapo Today, I had to modify zebraqueue so it would work like rebuild_zebra. I just copied the fix_leader, fix_biblio_ids, fix_authority_id and fix_unimarc_100 subroutines from rebuild_zebra and used them in zebraqueue.
19:20 fcapo I'm just wondering what all these fix subroutines are doing :/
19:20 ebegin They are fixing things ;)
19:20 rangi Fcapo
19:20 mtj fcapo: i have a similar hack for zebq
19:20 rangi You are better off writing some bash
19:21 rangi To run rebuild_zebra.pl
19:21 rangi In a loop
19:21 mtj ie: a bash wrapper script that calls zebq.pl, every minute
19:22 mtj this allows me to start/start the re-indexing easily, without a cron edit
19:23 rangi Well more that calls it whenever it finishes,every min you will get more than one running
19:23 fcapo Well, my modifications to zebraqueue are already done and working.
19:24 rangi Yes but it still leaks
19:24 rangi That's why it shouldn't be used
19:24 fcapo yea :/ that's why we do a restart every night
19:25 mtj a restart every hour even, and it prolly works ok  too
19:25 fcapo yea, If I get memory problem, I'll change the restart interval
19:25 mtj (but i should not really recommend that, to folks)
19:26 rangi Naw
19:26 rangi It still spazzes out
19:26 rangi Every so often
19:26 rangi I wrote it and it sux
19:26 mtj but yeah, what we really need is a new re-index method thats a hybrid of the two
19:26 rangi Don't use it
19:26 rangi Is my advice
19:27 francharb left #koha
19:27 rangi Bbiab
19:28 mtj oops, i take that back!…..
19:28 fcapo so... no perfect way to do live reindexation yet? :(
19:28 mtj i have a wrapper script that calls rebuild-zeb.pl every X minutes
19:29 mtj rather than calling rebuild_zeb.pl via cron
19:29 mtj no, its been on my to do list for a while too!
19:29 druthb1 joined #koha
19:29 druthb left #koha
19:30 ebegin But having to wait X minute for reindexation is quite long for the users.
19:30 pastebot0 "mtj" at 203.97.99.222 pasted "zeb_wrapper.pl" (55 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/141
19:30 fcapo Well, right now my modified zebraqueue seems to be working correctly, only leaking memory when a lot of modifications are made :/
19:30 druthb1 is now known as druthb
19:31 fcapo Thanks for the feedbacks, I'll be careful with it.
19:31 ebegin It's ok for bib appearing in the catalogue, but when they are creating a new bib and want to add a newly created authority, they have to wait for X minutes before being able to search it...
19:32 mtj fcapo: check out my prev. paste..
19:33 mtj as chris.c said, its a looping bash wrapper for rebuild_zeb.pl, rather than a cron
19:33 fcapo mtj: looking at it. I'll test it
19:33 mtj lol, its actually a *perl* wrapper, not bash ;)
19:34 fcapo yea :P
19:34 mtj but you get the picture...
19:34 mtj sleep for a minute,
19:34 mtj is a current rebuild happening?,  no...
19:35 mtj are there any outstanding bibs to index, yes...
19:35 rangi back
19:35 mtj then, start rebulild_zeb.pl..
19:35 fcapo Well, normal cronjobs have a 1 minute limit, so using that script with a 60 seconds interval isn't really different, no?
19:36 rangi fcapo: i use one that just starts another one as soon as one finishes, well 5 second wait
19:36 sekjal left #koha
19:36 rangi you can adjust the time
19:36 ebegin fcapo, you could set it at 10 sec if you want to. If there is nothing to do, this script just access the db once
19:36 mtj no different really , but i/admins can start/stop the job easily
19:36 fcapo just wondering if lowering the interval so it's almost "live" would slow down the server :/
19:36 sekjal joined #koha
19:37 rangi if you did it nicely, with a fork, from within perl, then no, no more than the daemon does
19:37 fcapo interesting
19:37 mtj it should *not* slow the server, too badly
19:38 mtj its just a "select * limit 1"  lookup to zebra_queue  table...
19:38 mtj ive you clean out the zeb_que table every few days, that select is pretty quick
19:39 mtj thats the theory , anyway... :)

19:39 brendan_ mtj I live the name of your computer ( bilbo ) :)
19:39 brendan_ heh s/live/love
19:40 mtj twas a katipo name, i think?
19:40 fcapo I was thinking about the time it takes to start new instances of perl, but then I saw the "Select limit 1" ... nice
19:40 rangi nope katipo is all spiders
19:41 mtj katipo named the box for that client?
19:43 cait left #koha
19:43 mtj ah, me remembers....
19:43 jcamins Just for the record, if you set autocommit=0, make sure you run `COMMIT;` after the queries you want to stick.
19:46 mtj fcapo: so my goofy zeb_wrapper.pl script could be increased to loop every 5 /10 seconds
19:47 mtj … which would be close to real-time indexing, without the zeb_daemon.pl memory bloat problem

19:52 space_librarian that sounds pretty awesome.
19:53 space_librarian And I wonder if I can still find that old school (original) matrix screensaver somewhere...

20:08 space_librarian you know that useless verbosity is a mainstay of bibs and authorities in library cataloguing, right? Just checking... :)
20:09 jcamins space_librarian: no, my objection is when -v gives you all the information in the world except what you need.
20:09 jcamins For example, which record has killed the indexing process.
20:09 space_librarian oh yes. I know. That's the irony of it all. And you can never get a straight answer either.
