12:09 nengard morning #koha
12:09 oleonard Hi nengard, #koha
12:17 oleonard kf++ # for lots of weekend bug-wrangling!
12:17 nengard agreed!
12:17 nengard kf++
12:17 oleonard magnus_away++ # too
12:18 kf magnuse++
12:18 kf and thx :)
12:19 kf oleonard: can you take a look at my solution for the translatability issue on suggestion.tt?
12:19 kf not sure it's the best way to do it, but it seemed to work alright
12:19 oleonard Sure
12:19 kf thx :)
12:19 oleonard Bug 4497?
12:19 huginn` Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4497 normal, PATCH-Sent, ---, katrin.fischer, ASSIGNED , Acq > Manage suggestions contains untranslated strings

12:33 magnus_away is now known as magnuse
12:41 oleonard kf: I don't think that's necessarily the best long-term solution to the problem, but it's a perfectly workable one
12:42 oleonard We'd have to make a fairly big change to the way suggestions worked otherwise
12:42 kf ok :)
12:42 kf relieved it's not totally stupid
12:43 oleonard who knows, maybe this *is* a good way to do it, looking at the confusion over the 'found' field in the reserves table
12:43 oleonard At least the status stored in the database is human-readable, even if only in English
12:44 kf I am not sure what else you can do
12:44 kf we will need something similar for accoutns
12:45 kf storing Payment thanks, - in the database is not good
12:45 kf it's not even a good idea if you want to have a multilingual system
12:47 kf ah, reading your comment... I think I get it now what you mean
12:47 kf I think having readable codes is not so bad, as long as it gets not too long and complicated
12:48 kf and in accoutns it's not good now because data and display text are mixed together in one string, so you can't really separate them
12:50 oleonard Agreed.
12:50 kf ok ;)

17:23 cait wondered if you could take a look at 6589

17:43 tcohen hya, is there a way to prompt (during update) for including new sample/optional data?
17:43 cait after initial installation?
17:44 tcohen nengard asked for that in bug 6299
17:44 huginn` Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6299 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, tomascohen, ASSIGNED , Provide a list of authorized values for relator terms
17:44 tcohen cait: yes
17:44 cait not that I know of, sorry
17:45 cait I think you would have to be very careful about it too
17:45 wizzyrea *nod*
17:45 cait tcohen: I think it would be safe to create a new authorized value with a database update
17:46 cait but I think there is no optional way to do it at the moment
17:47 tcohen i posted a comment on the bug, saying that a new koha featureshould be developed for that
17:47 tcohen and as of bug 6299 it should be tested on new installs for sign-off
17:48 tcohen guess that's all I can do for that bug
17:49 tcohen thanks cait
18:02 sekjal cait:  6589 is passed QA
18:04 cait sekjal: thx a lot :)
18:04 cait sekjal++
18:05 * cait cait_afk
18:05 sekjal thank YOU.  anything that helps fix Serials (or Acquisitions) bugs is worth double for me right now
18:05 sekjal cait++ (kf++ , too, for good measure)
18:06 cait sekjal: unhappy customer?
18:06 cait I have one quite unhappy librarian too, but will get better once we are on 3.4.x
18:06 sekjal we've got a couple partners who are starting to get into Acquisitions and Serials more, and it's forcing me to look much more closely at those areas
18:07 cait but needs more testing before we can update - translation especially
18:07 tcohen left #koha
18:07 cait and they have rfid - there are some interesting patches for that
18:07 cait especially one from Colin for my holds problem
18:07 sekjal I'm not liking all that I'm seeing in those modules... but, thankfully, there are patches out there, and new ones coming in, so we can make progess
18:07 cait exactly
18:08 cait I think the workflows could be better at some places

18:39 oleonard nengard: Have you tried recently to add a dictionary definition in reports?
18:40 nengard no, i only tested teh display issues - do you need me to?
18:40 Agent_Dani Hi druthb in Philadelphia!
18:40 druthb hi, sekjal and Dani
18:40 * Agent_Dani is still in Chapel Hill.
18:40 oleonard nengard: It seems broken to me
18:41 oleonard nengard: ...but I very rarely use it so i'm having trouble understanding how it's broken
18:41 nengard okay
18:41 nengard will test
18:41 oleonard I think something is going wrong between step 3 and step 4
18:43 nengard oleonard i have no problem with the creation of the definition
18:43 nengard but when i tried to use it in a report it didn't work
18:43 nengard will record my steps
18:44 oleonard nengard: Is it possible to use multiple columns in a definition?

18:47 oleonard nengard: When I choose a text column, am I not supposed to be able to set that to something?
18:47 oleonard borrowers.Surname, for instance
18:47 nengard hmmm
18:48 nengard not something i've tried before
18:48 nengard i only did fields with pull downs
18:48 nengard honestly do you know anyone who uses the dictionary at all?
18:49 oleonard "Always been broke, don't fix it?" :)
18:49 nengard well fix it if people use it :)
18:49 nengard that's more what i'm saying
18:50 nengard but yes, apparently it has always been broke
18:51 oleonard well, good to know anyway

19:07 oleonard raosoma: What is your server platform?
19:07 raosoma debian
19:07 oleonard I suggest you search for resources devoted to debian since there's no one here to answer your question today
19:08 raosoma couldn't find any where. ok thanks.
19:09 raosoma btw, who moderates mails in koha lists
19:09 oleonard raosoma: Are you having a problem with your messages?
19:09 raosoma i have posted one question on lists.koha
19:09 raosoma yes
19:10 raosoma it is not yet posted.
19:10 raosoma i doubt whether all are able to see my msg
19:10 raosoma i got a mail saying that it is waiting for moderation
19:11 oleonard Are you subscribed?
19:11 oleonard Did you post from the email address which is subscribed?

20:34 libsysguy1 maybe somebody else knows.  Im trying to use git cherry-pick and can't quite figure it out
20:34 nengard libsysguy1
20:34 nengard you just need the commit number
20:34 nengard and then git cherry-pick commitnumberhere
20:35 libsysguy1 oh so if there are hundreds of them...lots of typing for libsysguy1
20:35 nengard yup ....
20:35 nengard :(
20:35 libsysguy1 :'(
20:35 nengard why are you cherry picking versus doing a pull?
20:35 libsysguy1 its from a remote branch
20:35 nengard k
20:36 libsysguy1 for bug 5549
20:36 huginn` Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5549 enhancement, P5, ---, ian.walls, ASSIGNED , Hourly Loans
20:36 nengard is there a branch - you might be able to cherry pick a branch - but i don't know how
20:36 nengard rangi would know
20:36 nengard sekjal might know too
20:36 sekjal libsysguy:  git checkout -b bug5549 <remote_name>/<remote_branch_name>
20:36 libsysguy1 interesting
20:36 wahanui hmmm... interesting is sometimes bad
20:37 sekjal will create a new branch on your system that tracks that remove branch
20:37 nengard sekjal++
20:37 libsysguy1 sekjal++
20:37 sekjal s/remove/remote/
20:37 libsysguy1 i see what you did there
20:41 libsysguy1 so since im a giant git newb I have a question...once i have a new branch and have switched to it...does that mean that code is now active?
20:42 nengard yes
20:42 nengard and then switch back to not have that code active
20:43 nengard but if db updates are involved in any way you need to undo those when you switch back
20:43 libsysguy1 what about database changes?
20:43 libsysguy1 ahh
20:43 nengard :)
20:43 libsysguy1 so what about making those changes?
20:43 nengard usually i copy the stuff out of update database and apply them directly in mysql - and then undo them there too
20:43 nengard don't know if that's the best way or not
20:44 libsysguy1 heh
20:44 sekjal libsysguy1:  you can also create a second database for testing the new branch
20:44 libsysguy1 oh thats true
20:44 sekjal then update your koha-conf.xml to point at that DB
20:44 libsysguy1 i didn't think about that
20:44 sekjal you'll need to reindex, of course
20:44 libsysguy1 sadly :'(
20:44 sekjal and don't do it on a production codebase
20:44 sekjal but, for testing, it's one way of having multiple DB realities
20:45 libsysguy1 ok cool, thanks sekjalo
20:45 libsysguy1 sekjal**
20:48 sekjal no prob.  glad to be of help
20:48 jcamins_away libsysguy1: I am, but I'll be here for a few minutes.
20:49 jcamins_away libsysguy1: never mind, sekjal explained it.
