01:36 bencahill joined #koha
01:38 bencahill hey guys, what is 003 - CONTROL NUMER IDENTIFIER ?
01:38 bencahill I keep getting an error on it when adding records...'003 not filled'
01:39 eythian bencahill: if you're on a good browser, you should just be able to click the field and it'll fill itsel out.
01:39 eythian it should also light up in yellow
01:40 rangi http://www.loc.gov/marc/authority/ad003.html
01:40 rangi for authority records
01:40 rangi and
01:40 rangi http://www.loc.gov/marc/biblio[…]oncise/bd003.html
01:40 rangi for bibliographic records
01:40 bencahill ah..
01:41 bencahill weird though, since I didn't get this error on an installation with all the sample data...is there a setting to auto fill it on page load or something?
01:42 eythian the sample data will have it filled in already.
01:42 eythian It doesn't get filled on page load, I presume to ensure that it gets reviewed if needed.
01:42 bencahill no, doing z39.50 searches on an install with sample data, sorry :)
01:42 bencahill this is all from z39.50 to the loc
01:43 bencahill eythian: you're right, it does get filled in when you click on it ;)
01:43 eythian Dunno. I think it tends to come included with z39.50 results.
01:43 bencahill eythian: weird, done about 175 marc records from the loc, and none had it...
01:44 bencahill it didn't light up yellow though... (opera)
01:44 eythian hrm, surprising.
01:44 bencahill is that css or js?
01:44 eythian Yeah, it's mostly aimed at firefox, as it's pretty JS heavy, small browser difference can make things strange, especially in the cataloguing screen.
01:45 bencahill ah :)
01:45 eythian I don't know, probably the JS attaching a style value.
01:45 rangi id be incredibly suprised if any record from LoC didnt have a 003
01:45 bencahill most likely
01:45 bencahill rangi: maybe they do, and I'm doing something odd?
01:45 eythian It might be you didn't notice because it wasn't asking you to fill it out.
01:46 bencahill looking at a raw marc, I don't see a 003
01:46 rangi it has a 001 ?
01:46 bencahill rangi: yes
01:47 bencahill rangi: the one in question is 'understanding practical unix'
01:47 bencahill (a book that was laying on the shelf ;P )
01:47 rangi if it doesnt show, clicking in the 003 to make it show should be sufficient
01:48 bencahill unless of course I don't know how to read a marc record ;)
01:48 bencahill rangi: right, that's much better than getting an error :)
01:49 bencahill btw, using surf to enter data alot :P
01:49 rangi http://books.google.com/books?[…]c21%20003&f=false
01:49 rangi horrible url, but explains why 003 is important
01:49 bencahill rangi: nice, thx
01:50 bencahill okay guys, clicking is good, thanks :)
01:52 bencahill oh, how does renewing books currently checked out work? I thought I'd try it out, but it said 'non-renewable' or something to that extent...
01:52 rangi im gonna be forced to point you at the manual :)
01:53 * bencahill RTFM
01:53 rangi ill find you the section
01:53 bencahill why thank you :P
01:53 rangi its the circulation rules that determine it
01:53 bencahill oh oh...
01:53 bencahill lemme look...
01:53 * bencahill waits for slow server
01:53 rangi http://koha-community.org/docu[…]027#circfinerules
01:55 bencahill hmm, 'Renewals Allowed' is currently set to 2, but I couldn't renew even once :-/
01:55 bencahill nvm, it used to be 0
01:55 bencahill :P
01:56 bencahill (communication error)
01:57 bencahill that'll be all, thanks a bunch rangi & eythian :)
01:57 eythian sweet as

05:27 cait have I scared her away?
05:28 eythian yes
05:30 cait :P
05:31 eythian you asked
05:32 cait how is the migration?
05:32 eythian making progress. Currently working on extracting the vendor list from liberty in as sensible fashion as I can.
05:34 cait ah liberty again
05:34 eythian I also note that the 'accountnumber' field is in the database, but not exposed on the UI. Curious.
05:34 cait koha?
05:34 wahanui i think koha is a free software ils see http://koha-community.org for more info
05:34 cait yes
05:34 cait the bookseller table is strange
05:34 eythian yeah
05:34 cait there are lots of fields not shown anywhere
05:35 cait address is weird too
05:35 cait I think we put all in one field
05:35 eythian no, we split it up and take the first 4 lines, and put those into 4 fields.
05:35 eythian It's still pretty weird.
05:35 cait hm ok, my good mood after waking up is fading, killed my apache configuration
05:36 eythian oops
05:36 cait eythian: it is
05:38 eythian bookselleremail is also not shown in the ui. That's a bit silly
05:38 eythian and yet there's two separate fax fields.
05:38 cait hm we have an email field
05:38 cait shown
05:39 eythian cait: yeah, that's contemail
05:39 eythian wahanui: fax?
05:39 wahanui bugger all, i dunno, eythian
05:39 cait !
05:39 eythian wahanui: fax is <reply>No, \I ain't got a fax machine! \I also ain't got an Apple IIc, polio, or a falcon!
05:39 wahanui OK, eythian.
05:39 eythian wahanui: fax
05:39 wahanui No, I ain't got a fax machine! I also ain't got an Apple IIc, polio, or a falcon!
05:41 cait you have bad influence und poor wahanui
05:42 eythian wahanui: eythian is a good influence
05:42 wahanui ...but eythian is in NZ. ;)...
05:42 eythian wahanui: eythian is also a good influence
05:42 wahanui okay, eythian.
05:42 eythian solved!
05:43 cait oh my
05:43 cait botsnack wahanui cookie
05:43 cait wahanui botsnack cookie
05:43 wahanui thanks cait :)
05:44 cait eythian: can message_queue table only be used for emails to patrons?
05:44 cait I was thinking about putting acquisition order mails in there
05:44 eythian I don't know for sure, but I suspect so, as I think it uses the borrower number to look up the email address
05:45 cait hm
05:45 cait and providing it a from address?
05:45 eythian but it would pay to see if you can give it an email address, and if so what it does
05:45 eythian dunno, haven't looked into it in depth
05:45 cait do you think it's a good idea to put other mails in there?
05:45 cait I like the idea because it would make it possible to track what you have sent out and when
05:46 cait but still not sure :)
05:47 eythian yes, because it also allows you to log and control email centrally, which is quite handy
05:48 cait hm ok
05:48 cait there might be a reason why you want to make acq mails go out fast, but I think you could just make the cronjob run more often

05:57 cait hm
05:57 cait looks like it only uses the borrowernumber if you don't have a to adress in the table :)
05:57 eythian ah, that's good
05:58 eythian hmm, there's not two fax numbers here, there's three. That's just ridiculous.
05:58 cait if I am reading that correctly...
05:58 cait lol
05:58 eythian heh, and every one of them is a different data type
05:58 cait yes...
05:58 cait borrowers is the same
05:58 eythian yeah
05:58 cait I tried to clean that up but got stuck and went on to other projects...
05:59 ronald joined #koha

07:41 rangi hi europe
07:47 mihafan joined #koha
07:47 mihafan hello
07:49 mihafan Description of problem:  On local machine is installed windows server 2003 with configured active director. I installed Debian on another machine, here I installed Koha 3.2 which still works well. Koha have configured to use a active directory ldap server. I test this ldap server with Softerra LDAP Browser and it works
07:49 mihafan koha-conf.xml contents: <yazgfs> ..............  <config>  ..........................  <memcached_servers></ memcached_servers>  <memcached_namespace></memcached_namespace>   <useldapserver>1</useldapserver>  <ldapserver id="ldapserver">    <hostname>192.168.11.90:389</hostname>    <base>dc=koha,dc=local</base>    <user>cn=Administrator,cn=Users,dc=koha,dc=md
07:49 mihafan <firstname    is="givenName"      ></firstname>       <surname      is="sn"             ></surname>       <address      is="postalAddress"  ></address>       <city     is="l" ></city>       <branchcode   is=""               >MAIN</branchcode>       <userid       is="sAMAccountName" >Administrator</userid>       <password     is="userPassword"   ></passwor
07:50 mihafan When I try to log in OPAC module, I give a error "Invalid username or password"!!!
07:51 rangi that user doesn't look right to me
07:52 rangi you have the base info in the user bit
07:52 rangi it needs to be a valid user
07:53 rangi also when you want to paste, use paste.koha-community.org
07:54 pastebot "mihafan" at 93.116.255.218 pasted "Description of problem: On loc" (47 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/42
07:54 rangi yeah like i said, the user looks wrong to me
07:54 rangi it should be something like
07:55 rangi <user>Administrator@koha.local</user>
07:55 rangi (at a guess)
07:55 rangi try with ldapsearch on the debian machine
07:59 mihafan how to search in ldap server from debian?
07:59 mihafan must be install a ldap client on debian?
08:00 sophie_m1 joined #koha
08:00 rangi sudo apt-get install ldap-utils
08:01 sophie_m left #koha
08:01 rangi you dont have to have one, but its easier to test with one, but i think the main problem is your user is invalid
08:01 rangi not really a koha problem, as Koha just uses Net::LDAP so maybe read the man pages for that
08:02 mihafan I think the problem is the file to be made ​​when comparing passwords Auth_with_ldap
08:02 rangi could be, are your passwords encrypted?
08:03 mihafan not
08:03 mihafan is plain
08:03 rangi stored in plain text in active directory?
08:03 mihafan yes
08:03 rangi in that case, it wont be the comparison, its more likely the user you are trying to connect with is invalid
08:04 rangi ie, the user you have in <user></user>
08:04 mihafan Yes
08:05 mihafan I test a ldap server with same credentials and it works
08:05 mihafan cn=Administrator,cn=Users,dc=koha,dc=local password: Q1W2e3r4
08:08 mihafan I long ago set up so only the administrator login but other users are not logged in, appear the error "Unatorized user"
08:08 rangi yes, but tahts not how you specify it in the config file
08:08 rangi it uses the base
08:08 rangi to construct that
08:09 rangi you'll have to experiment with it yourself, im out of advice
08:09 mihafan yes I use the base
08:10 mihafan problem is not file Auth_with_ldap??
08:11 kf joined #koha
08:11 kf hi #koha
08:14 mihafan when I create another user in active directory and fill in Koha-conf, this error still occurs
08:14 mihafan "invalid username or password"
08:26 mihafan rangi?
08:26 wahanui i guess rangi is a proud Māori whose sense of humour matches his prowess in coding.
08:32 kf hdl: around?
08:32 hdl yes.
08:47 kf did you have a change to look at the subscription pattern?
08:49 hdl kf: that would change....
08:49 hdl indeed.
08:49 kf chance sorry
08:49 hdl kf: no problem.
08:50 hdl I had some work at home yesterday night... But could not work on that. Will test and send you before the regular meeting

14:23 rhcl Hey, we just got a bookcrossing book back from 2002. Might be amusing to have a Koha function to track these books.
14:24 * wizzyrea idly wonders if they have an api
14:25 wizzyrea looks like not
14:26 nengard need me some sys pref help
14:26 nengard CircControl  and HomeOrHoldingBranch  have the same descriptions ...
14:26 nengard and then there is HomeOrHoldingBranchReturn
14:26 nengard what does HomeOrHoldingBranch do?
14:26 nengard and i the manual correct when I say it's linked to IndependantBranches
14:27 * wizzyrea has always been confused by that
14:27 wizzyrea but I know that it has something to do with the way the rules are applied for circulation, and what happens when books are returned
14:28 nengard that much is clear, paul_p was this a Biblibre addition?
14:28 nengard all three have to do with circ rules and checking in and out ... just not sure which does what
14:29 nengard there is at least one bug to report here though ... CircControl  and HomeOrHoldingBranch  have the same descriptions
14:30 nengard they can't both do the same thing ... or if they do then we don't need two prefs :
14:30 nengard :)
14:30 jcamins I think that one of them is supposed to be eliminated, but wasn't yet.
14:30 wizzyrea HomeOrHolding was going away in favor of CircControl
14:30 wizzyrea but there's a bug on deprecating it
14:31 wizzyrea and I believe there was objection
14:31 * paul_p reading
14:31 paul_p (hello USA !)
14:31 wizzyrea http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]ding&list_id=5333
14:33 paul_p mmm... sorry, I won't be able to help you, it's not clear for me too
14:34 nengard wizzyrea, okay, that's confusing
14:34 nengard gonna put this to the dev list I guess
14:34 wizzyrea I didn't say you'd like the answer ;)
14:35 * paul_p looking to french descriptions of those sysprefs to see if it helps...
14:36 paul_p same description too, it doesn't help...

14:41 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5333 normal, P5, ---, gmcharlt, NEW , Undefined value stops import from z39.50
14:50 hdl nengard: HomeOrHoldingBranch is there to tell which of the two fields of items homebranch or holdingbranch is to be considered in circulation.
14:50 nengard then what is circcontrol?
14:52 nengard like i said they have the same description
14:57 nengard ?
14:59 conan the irc meeting... is tomorrow?
15:00 Oak joined #koha
15:01 wizzyrea yep
15:01 * Oak waves
15:01 wizzyrea hi Oak :)
15:01 Oak hiya wizzyrea :)
15:01 hdl Circcontrol is here to say which branch from user, library or item to consider.
15:01 Oak that rhymes
15:02 hdl nengard: maybe circcontrol should also get into details : saying items.holdingbranch Or items.homebranch
15:02 hdl It was not designed that way.
15:02 * wizzyrea proposes that all syspref descriptions should be done in verse
15:03 hdl Most of american libraries consider homebranch as the item related information.
15:03 wizzyrea (teasing)
15:03 nengard so if i have circontrol set to 'the library the item is from' and homeorholdingbranch set to 'the library the item was checked out from' what happens
15:03 nengard what rules are followed
15:03 hdl But French are not.
15:04 * conan finally discovered how to import from isismarc into koha
15:04 hdl It is the system preference description which is not really good.
15:05 talljoy_ joined #koha
15:05 hdl circontrol set to the items branch. And then you would choose homebranch or holdingbranch
15:06 hdl In your case the real rule followed is : the library the item was checked out from
15:07 nengard hdl, i'm sorry i'm still very confused
15:08 hdl nengard: in the case of Circcontrol, you have the choice between "3 tables" : issues (or C4::Context-userenv) borrowers, items.
15:08 hdl It is that level of choice.
15:09 hdl for CircControl
15:09 wizzyrea so you can circ with rules based on issuing library, borrower's homebranch, or the item's home branch
15:09 wizzyrea with CircControl
15:09 hdl HomeOrHoldingBranch is to decide whether it is items' homebranch or items' holding branch
15:10 wizzyrea so only items
15:10 hdl i.e. the library rule where the item last was.
15:10 wizzyrea and nothing to do with borrowers or logged in branch
15:10 hdl No.
15:10 hdl only items...
15:10 wizzyrea oh, only the current location
15:11 wizzyrea (holding branch)
15:12 hdl holding branch is the library which latest had the book.
15:12 wizzyrea right
15:12 wizzyrea (where it is now)
15:13 hdl well... where it is supposed to be now... The library which has it.
15:14 hdl The inner behaviour for an item is different depending on the HomeOrHoldingBranch or PickupLibrary
15:14 hdl PickupLibrary only impacts issuingrule.
15:15 Johnindy joined #koha
15:15 hdl when HomeOrHoldingBranch set to HoldingBranch, it changes the holdingbranch when a borrower returns a book to another library, not the homebranch.
15:16 hdl Because in a network, it is important to keep track of the library who OWNS the item, and the library who HOLDS the item.
15:18 wizzyrea the application of this is that you can have floating items, items that were checked out from their home branch, but returned at another branch
15:19 * conan notices meeting will be at 23 hs today for him
15:19 wizzyrea home or holding return decides whether, when an item is returned, it is held at the holding branch or force returned to the home branch
15:19 wizzyrea I think
15:19 wizzyrea that
15:20 wizzyrea one is one that I've had to futz with lately
15:20 talljoy_ left #koha
15:30 hdl wizzyrea nengard does that make more sense now ?
15:30 wizzyrea I think so?
15:30 wizzyrea the basic idea I got
15:31 wizzyrea CircControl = rules based on one of item homebranch, patron homebranch, or logged in user branch
15:31 wizzyrea HomeOrHolding = rules based only on items (possibly to be deprecated)
15:32 wizzyrea HomeOrHoldingReturn = defines what happens to an item returned at a branch other than it's home

15:38 wizzyrea HOHR is under local use atm
15:38 wizzyrea it's new-ish
15:38 wizzyrea funny, because I didn't know about HomeOrHoldingBranchReserves
15:42 sekjal HomeOrHoldingBranchReturn is currently incompatible with IndependantBranches
15:42 ck_mari joined #koha
15:43 sekjal I've got a fix for it that I need to wrap up and push

15:51 nengard wizzyrea HOHR was pushed to 3.4 last week i think by chris_n
15:51 nengard where R=Return
15:51 wizzyrea :) I gathered
15:51 * wizzyrea finds that odd
15:51 wizzyrea since I've had it for a copule months at least
15:51 wizzyrea (affecting stuff, no less)
15:52 wizzyrea maybe it was moved from localuse to it's proper place?
15:52 jcamins wizzyrea: it was missing from the .pref file, so it was in local use.
15:52 wizzyrea gotcha
15:52 nengard maybe - the push did say moved HOHR to .pref file
15:52 nengard or some such thing
15:52 wizzyrea AHA

16:07 margo is the 3.4 manual searchable yet?
16:07 conan nengard: you got accents problems?
16:07 nengard working on it ....
16:07 nengard conan - what problem?
16:07 margo ok
16:08 conan well, we found problems when importing from isismarc into koha because the accents were not importing ok, so now we're trying a workaround by doing a print to a file in isismarc and then loading that printout into MarcEdit to compile a proper .mrc
16:09 conan we tried 1 record and went fine
16:09 conan we tried 1000 records, also fine
16:09 conan we tried all DB which is >14000 and suddenly all accents dissapeared
16:09 conan can bits get exhausted? :P
16:10 nengard i'm not sure that i had that issue ...
16:10 nengard cant remember
16:11 conan but you have accents in your records?

16:32 rhcl My googler is broke. Can anyone give me a frame of reference for using "REST" for a database connection?
16:32 druthb_away is now known as druthb
16:34 druthb nothing much magic about REST, rhcl.  It's just a fancy sort of URL, and not *very* fancy, at that.
16:35 druthb The programmer sets things up so the program answers to URLS like http://site.org/search/<searchstring>...not *that* dissimilar from what Koha does now, really.
16:36 rhcl I can't find any documentation--it's probably all buried in search results like "database connection for the rest of us".
16:37 jcamins rhcl: druthb has described the complete definition of REST, I think.
16:37 druthb Here's a basic reader that might help:  http://rest.elkstein.org/
16:38 rhcl hey, that looks like a good link!   druthb++
16:38 * druthb blushes.
16:38 cait to lazy to read back - why are you talking about rest?

16:38 cait ah
16:38 cait I thought there was a rest api for biblios - not sure it's still there
16:39 rhcl Kyle Hall indicates that he will be using ReST for the new Libki client/server to communicate with the Koha db.
16:39 jcamins cait: see my RefWorks export example.
16:39 cait ah

16:41 druthb REST makes a lot of sense, and is lightweight and (relatively) easy to program.    I'd love to see more Koha things accessible via REST structures.
