06:01 kmkale hi cait :)
06:01 mib_cdt how can I customize the 'Add MARC Record' form in koha?
06:03 cait mib_cdt: look ad administration > bibliographic marc frameworks
06:03 cait koha manual?
06:03 cait manual?
06:03 wahanui i think manual is at http://www.koha-community.org/documentation
06:04 cait ah :)
06:04 cait and check the manual
06:06 mib_cdt but I dont want all the fields in default framework. can I set the marc entry fields in a single page?
06:06 ronald joined #koha
06:08 kmkale_ joined #koha
06:09 magnus_away is now known as magnuse
06:09 mib_cdt I have created a new marc framework by deleting the fields not necessary for my library.
06:09 kmkale left #koha
06:09 kmkale_ is now known as kmkale
06:11 mib_cdt but all those are scattered in 9 tabs. It is difficult for entering data by selecting each tag.
06:11 mib_cdt Can I set up all these fields in a single pages?
06:12 kmkale_ joined #koha
06:19 kmkale left #koha
06:21 cait yes
06:21 cait change the tab values
06:21 wahanui cait: that doesn't look right
06:21 cait forget yes
06:21 cait sorry, talking to wahanui
06:22 cait in the bibliographic frameworks is also defined on which tab a field shows up
06:22 cait you can put them all on one tag
06:22 cait tab
06:23 eythian wahanui: literal yes
06:23 wahanui eythian: i'm not following you...
06:23 eythian wahanui: yes
06:23 wahanui eythian: what?
06:24 cait change the values
06:24 wahanui cait: that doesn't look right
06:24 eythian how odd
06:24 cait forget change the values
06:24 wahanui cait: that doesn't look right
06:24 eythian I think it's a module
06:24 cait forget cait:?
06:25 eythian I think you need to use the name for operations like that.
06:25 cait wahanui: forget change the values
06:25 wahanui cait, I didn't have anything matching change the values
06:25 cait ok, I give up
06:25 mib_cdt cait: how can I put them all in one tag?
06:26 cait change the tab value in the subfields definition
06:26 wahanui cait: that doesn't look right
06:27 cait http://koha-community.org/docu[…]marcbibframeworks
06:27 cait look for 'managed in tab'
06:27 cait and don't delete fields from the default frameworks
06:28 cait better hide them or even better create your own frameworks
06:30 cait ok, restarting to find out if the updates killed that grub thing again
06:30 cait bbl

06:35 cait hehe

06:36 cait know it's not what normally should happen
06:36 cait ok
06:36 cait time for work
06:36 eythian no, that's not so normal
06:37 cait this laptop is really old, probably something in the hardware ubuntu is not too happy about?
06:37 cait but it works now, so all is ok :)

07:34 eythian packages for 3.4 are coming together.
07:34 magnuse yay!
07:34 magnuse 3.4 or 3.4.1?
07:35 eythian at the moment they apply against both master and 3.4.x
07:35 eythian so I'll make them for 3.4.1 when it's out, all going well.
07:36 eythian among other things, it adds /usr/sbin/koha-upgrade-to-3.4 which does the items removing stuff.
07:36 magnuse cool
07:37 eythian and when you install it, it tells you that you should run that if you're upgrading.
07:37 magnuse nice
07:37 eythian hoping to get the patches out, and a build against master in the -dev repo for people to try out.
07:38 magnuse i cant wait to have a go at creating packages that has norwegian tranlsations
07:38 eythian yeah, I really want to make language packs, so you can install koha-translations-no for example.
07:38 magnuse that would be sooo cool
07:39 magnuse if i had lots of cash lying around i would have been happy to fund that...
07:40 eythian yeah, same here if I had lots of spare time :)
07:40 magnuse :-)
07:40 eythian I really need to get this finished tonight as tomorrow I just realised I'm going to be away for most of the day helping out at a career expo.
07:40 magnuse do you know if it will be hard to do?
07:42 eythian I don't think it would be terribly difficult. Doing the first one would be hard, but the rest would be copy-paste.
07:43 magnuse hehe, skip the first one and go straight to the second, then...
07:44 eythian so wise :)
07:44 magnuse thanks ;-)
07:44 huginn` New commit(s) needsignoff: [Bug 4513] Resetting framework to Default seems impossible <http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4513>
07:45 eythian I think it's just a matter of generating the translations during the build process, and writing them into their own package.
07:48 magnuse so one package per language?
07:48 eythian yeah
07:48 magnuse seems to me that makes it hard to update translations...
07:49 magnuse could it be possible to build on the translate script, so you had a command that installed new translations?
07:49 eythian there's no reason to not be able to do both.
07:49 magnuse without requiring a new package for every iteration of a translation?
07:49 magnuse cool
07:50 eythian My thinking was that there could be a set of standard translations that come from git like normal and become packages. Then perhaps a script that alters them for local changes or something.
07:50 eythian I'm not quite sure how to handle merging that with updates though.
07:51 magnuse ooh, sounds like a good idea, for sure!
07:51 magnuse yeah, updates might be a problem...
07:51 eythian but at the least I'd like to have it building the ones that are in git.
07:52 eythian (although, I'd have to study up on how translations work first)
07:52 magnuse :-)
07:53 sophie_m joined #koha
07:55 eythian hmm, curious error in a zebra rebuild:
07:55 eythian problem with :36093 : Field 111 must have indicators (use ' ' for empty indicators) at /usr/share/perl5/MARC/File/SAX.pm line 92
07:55 eythian where 111 is
07:55 eythian <datafield tag="111" ind1="2" ind2=" ">
07:55 eythian </datafield>
07:55 eythian I wonder if it's unhappy about having no subfields (which is a legitimate issue I guess.)
07:57 magnuse weird that the error is " must have indicators" if the subfields are the problem?
07:57 eythian yeah
07:57 eythian but, it has indicators...
07:57 magnuse yeah
07:58 magnuse and it looks like empty indicators shouldn't be a problem
07:58 eythian yeah
07:59 eythian Going to try it again using usmarc instead of XML
07:59 magnuse worth a try
07:59 magnuse #marcmustdie
08:00 eythian hehe, full agreement from me there
08:01 eythian well that's odd, I get the same error when doing it with usmarc. Though, it didn't seem to cause it to die.
08:01 eythian and it still gave an XML dump.
08:01 eythian I'm surprised I haven't seen that before.
08:01 magnuse wow, that sounds weird
08:01 eythian oh wait...
08:02 eythian it's not the rebuild that's doing that, it's the items thing

10:37 hdl1 did
10:37 hdl1 I will ask him to answer you
10:37 kmkale I have got CAS auth and SSO working
10:37 kmkale but I am having trouble with single sign out
10:37 kmkale need help
10:38 kmkale please hdl1 much appreciated if he can chat and give me a few tips

11:33 matts hello kmkale
11:33 matts what is your problem exactly ?
11:35 wizzyrea hi
11:35 wahanui privet, wizzyrea
11:35 kmkale hi matts
11:35 kmkale I have CAS + Koha single sign on working
11:35 kmkale But can't get the single sign out working
11:36 matts ok
11:36 kmkale When a user signs out of CAS s/he is not signed out of Koha
11:36 matts there's a syspref that disconnect from the whole CAS authentication if you disconnect from koha...
11:36 matts oh, it's the opposite you want, i see
11:36 kmkale Yes that works fine
11:37 kmkale when I log out of Koha, I get logged out of CAS too
11:37 kmkale but if I log out of CAS I don't get loggged out of Koha
11:37 kmkale yup
11:37 conan joined #koha
11:38 matts hmmm, let me check
11:38 kmkale CAS server calls the service url registered with the ticket e.g.  "POST /cgi-bin/koha/opac-user.pl HTTP/1.1" 200 8537 "-" "Java/1.5.0_22"
11:38 kmkale but it seems this POST is not handled in Koha
11:39 matts yeah, you're probably right, i don't remember implementing such thing
11:39 kmkale since Koha's logout url is different e.g. /cgi-bin/koha/opac-main.pl?logout.x=1
11:40 kmkale Is it possible to handle the POST in opac-user.pl and logout the user? If yes how?
11:44 matts hmm, my first guess would be to tweak opac-user.pl to catch that post, then modify C4/Auth_with_cas.pm to disconnect the user when such a POST is caught.
11:46 kmkale been looking at both files. Can't figure out how to catch the POST and the security assertion it contains. :(
11:55 matts the trick is that the CAS server i used when coding CAS authentication does not seem to support single-sign-out...
11:55 kf joined #koha
11:56 kf hi #koha
11:56 druthb hi, kf. :)
11:57 conan good morning all
12:00 kf hi druthb and conan
12:01 kmkale matts: there is a additional configuration to be done for single sign out as shown in https://wiki.jasig.org/display[…]g+Single+Sign+Out
12:03 matts yeah, but i used esup cas server
12:03 matts http://esup-casgeneric.sourceforge.net/index.html
12:04 matts And unfortunately, i've got no time right now to enhance the CAS feature
12:04 kmkale If you can tell me how to catch the POST in opac-user.pl, I can attempt to hack it from there
12:05 NateC joined #koha
12:07 matts kmkale, problem is i don't know what's in that logout post...
12:08 AmitG left #koha
12:08 kmkale humph. How do I generally catch a POST request in opac-user.pl? as separate from the usual GET once we get in the query parameter?
12:13 matts hmm, i guess it's the same : $query->param('myparam');
12:13 matts But I don't know what's the name of the parameter to look for to, nor the content it's supposed to have
12:14 kmkale ohh..
12:15 matts And I had a quick look on the internet to find out, but couldn't find any usefull info
12:15 kmkale Ok. I will attempt too write a generic client and catch the POST and then see whats inside. by looping over the params. ( If such a thing is possible )
12:16 kmkale there are enough example clients around which I can hack
12:16 matts yes, such a thing is possible
12:16 matts but finding a spec sheet would be better, imho
12:17 kmkale :) always
12:17 matts anyhow, I'd be glad to hear back from you on that subject
12:17 kmkale sure. And thanks matts
12:17 matts np, good luck :)
12:44 conan how what's that cite about mad library schemes?
12:45 conan I think I have finally grasped the circulation rules inner working
12:45 conan and now I know I cannot use it without source modification, unless I'm completely wrong, of course
12:46 conan what we need here is this schema:
12:46 conan if patron is from library A and item is from library A, patron can take 4 items
12:47 conan (I'm simplfying the item part, assuming is the same)
12:47 druthb @quote search scheme
12:47 huginn` druthb: 1 found: #123: "rangi: #thingsihavelearnt if there is a mad..."
12:47 wahanui i already had it that way, huginn`.
12:47 druthb @quote get 123
12:47 huginn` druthb: Quote #123: "rangi: #thingsihavelearnt if there is a mad scheme a library somewhere will be doing it ... except madder" (added by wizzyrea at 09:20 PM, March 30, 2011)
12:47 conan if patron is from libA and item is from libB, patron can take 4 items
12:48 conan but if patron is from libA and item is from libB, AND patron already checked out 4 items from libA, he can only take 3 items from libB, for a total of 7 items
12:49 conan I thought I could implement that by using default_borrower_circ_rules
12:50 conan but I never reach them because we need to establish the rules for every library, and so, Circulation->GetIssuingRule  always matches something
12:50 conan yeah, the 123 quote! that's easy to remember
12:51 druthb conan:  the biggest part of what you want that is foreign to Koha is "the patron is from..."  As I said yesterday (was it yesterday?), the circ map doesn't know or care about that.  Once you get that in there, both in issuingrules and in default_borrower_circ_rules, then what you want should be doable.
12:51 conan so I need normal circulation rules plus...
12:51 conan one rule to check for a grand total
12:52 magnus_away is now known as magnuse
12:52 conan druthb: hum... if you choose PatronLibrary for CircControl then you get branch from patron to check
12:53 conan the check for an issuing rules is like this:
12:54 conan select ... where categorycode = ? and itemtype = ? and branchcode = ?
12:54 druthb yes, but then you don't have "the item is from..."
12:54 druthb CircControl lets you do one or the other, but not both.
12:55 * druthb normally sets CircControl to item library, in her installations, since setting it to patron library breaks minds a lot.
12:56 conan I'm not sure I'm following you, are you telling me that this cannot be done the way koha works currently?
12:57 druthb No, I'm telling you that "is from library X" is either a patron thing, or an item thing, in the circ rules, depending on CircControl, but both is not in there.  There are workarounds--if you make sure that all patron categories are filled with people from a single library, then you could set CircControl to items, and get it to do what you want.
12:57 marcelr left #koha
12:58 conan impossible
12:58 druthb You can easily say that "patron of category X can borrow no more than Z items from library Y", if you've got patron categories set up for that.
12:58 conan my patrons need to belong to a library
12:58 druthb They will belong to a library, sure.  but all of the patrons in category X need to belong to the *same* library.
13:00 conan hum... that will add complexity, I will need to set a different category for each same kind of patron to differentiate library they belong to
13:00 druthb Each patron will still have a branchcode, just as each item will still have a homebranch.  But one or the other of those branch codes is *not* going to be a factor in the circ map, as currently coded.   By making the categories monolithic, you work around it without adding the complexity into the circ map.
13:01 druthb yep.  It's not going to be *easy*, any way you go at it.
13:01 conan crap!
13:01 conan what about default_borrower_circ_rules? are they only used if I don't have anything defined previously?
13:01 druthb Build complex categories, or add a whole heap of complex code to the circ map, or convince libraries to simplify their circ rules.  (I've done the latter, more than once, but have done some of the first one, too)
13:02 druthb default_borrower_circ_rules primarily sets the maxima for a library--you use it to say, for library Y, a patron of category X may have no more than Z total items."

13:07 druthb thanx.  With that much complexity outside the system (in the librarian's head), then you're not going to have it easy *inside* the system, either.

13:08 wizzyrea bye!
13:08 kmkale_ joined #koha
13:08 conan well maybe I put it complex, but in fact it's easy: we want to allow same quantity of books from each library, but we don't want an user to loan the maximum from all of them (there are 18 libraries currently, and they work as single system)
13:09 conan so that's why we need a grand total maximum
13:09 conan so nobody can checkout 4 items x 18 libraries = 72 items
13:09 conan (and then run away :P )

13:13 jwagner Morning all.  Has anyone tried RSS feeds in Chrome?  Unlike Firefox or IE, it doesn't ask you for a reader or subscription info, it just displays the feed immediately to the screen.
13:13 wizzyrea ya, it's mildly annoying.
13:13 jwagner I don't see anything in bugzilla referencing Chrome -- not sure if anyone has run into it before
13:13 wizzyrea but I think that's chrome, not koha
13:13 kmkale left #koha
13:13 wizzyrea i.e. firefox knows what to do with RSS feeds, chrome is not so smart

13:14 jwagner that's what I was thinking.  Worth a bug report?  I doubt there's anything that can be done on the Koha end, but I know little/nothing about RSS in the first place
13:15 wizzyrea right, um... I don't think so because we're really waiting on chrome to get it's act together in that regard
13:15 wizzyrea I suppose we could hassle the chrome people about it :)
13:15 jwagner Nah....
13:17 jwagner Do you know if Chrome has problems with RSS from other sites?  Not sure where to test that offhand.
13:17 hdl1 conan: I hope the water is not too cool
13:17 wizzyrea yea, afaik it's every rss feed
13:18 jwagner Yeah, just found another site & tested.  Oh, well.  Thanks.

16:39 rhcl If we wanted to create a menu item in Koha with multiselect, what is the current best practices--to use a shift-click for multiple items in the menu, or to have two fields, one listing all possible options with highlighting of items and moving them to the next field?

16:42 rhcl but if the other method is preferable....
16:42 oleonard Yeah, selecting a bunch of things and then losing your selection is a pain
