03:17 bg heya druthb
03:17 bg I like eythian's post on google+  of the turdoor turlock one
03:17 druthb hi, bg.  :)
03:18 bg yo druthb++
03:18 * druthb hasn't done nuffin!
03:18 bg heh
03:18 tcohen left #koha
03:18 * bg don't believe that one
03:19 druthb just doin' mah job, boss.
03:25 * druthb swears in a most unladylike fashion.
03:29 druthb my Symphony patron-data masher is gagging on too much data.  I was throwing all the borrowers into a great ol' big array of hashes, but that may not work once the number of borrowers is very large.  :P
03:35 eythian ah yeah
03:35 eythian gotta watch that
03:35 eythian also, you'll find a perl process will take forever to terminate if you've allocated huge structures
03:35 eythian I don't know what it does, but it's safe to ^C it at that point
03:37 rangi can you chunk them?
03:38 eythian I've been meaning to write something that will compare file modification times, and write out to a tied hash file if need be.
03:38 rangi yeah
03:38 rangi tie is what i was gonna suggest if it was chunkable easily
03:39 rangi if you want to get funky there is DBM::Deep
03:39 eythian I'm sure there's a mongodb interface :D
03:39 rangi or you could sqlite
03:40 rangi http://search.cpan.org/~sprout[…]/lib/DBM/Deep.pod
03:40 rangi ive been wanting an excuse to play with it, just for the hell of it
03:40 eythian hmm, nifty
03:43 rangi CPAN?
03:43 wahanui is there anything it cant do
03:44 eythian huh?
03:44 rangi its a simpsons line
03:44 rangi donuts, is there anything they cant do
03:44 kmkale joined #koha
03:44 kmkale Namaskar #koha
03:47 kmkale In a mail to the lists on August 11th, I had proposed a volunteers meeting for today at 16.00 UTC. I will be around in case anybody wants to discuss anything..
03:47 kmkale Not sure anybody does cause I did not get a single reply to the mail
03:52 druthb I'm having it write them as it finishes each borrower; creating the borrower CSV is a bit tidier if you know up front what fields you'll have, but it's okay to have a bunch of empty ones, if not.
03:53 druthb simple, few moving parts, and it *works*.  (and it makes sense to me at midnight and later.)
03:59 druthb Namaskar, kmkale. :)
04:05 rangi :)
04:06 eythian yeah, in my case I need to hold a handful of large files in memory while I run through the main one, so I need to use something more sensible than that at some stage soon.
04:10 druthb I use a lot of "my @matches = qx{grep ....};" for that sort of thing.  my key is at the head of the line, so I can get away with that.
04:10 druthb Overhead, yeah, but beats trying to sqeeze the whole thing into memory.
04:14 eythian in this case, it's faster to put into memory, as it'd make the lookup ~50,000 times slower otherwise.
04:14 kmkale Namaste druthb
04:14 kmkale Namaste rangi
04:14 eythian But a real indexed data structure is the best way, I just haven't got around to it
04:14 kmkale Namaste eythian
04:14 eythian hihi
04:20 * druthb is off to bed.  g'night.
04:21 druthb left #koha
04:21 Brooke joined #koha
04:21 Brooke kia ora
04:21 rangi hiya Brooke
04:22 rangi http://skoneka.github.com/scre[…]ession/index.html   <-- for people like me who live in screen
04:23 * Brooke suspects if she were cleverer, she could work that into this UI thang.
04:24 kmkale Namaste Brooke
04:24 kmkale :)
04:24 Brooke namaste
04:25 kmkale rangi: a quick tip about screen please? How to scroll bacl while in screen?
04:25 kmkale *back
04:26 rangi whats you meta key? ctrl-a ?
04:26 kmkale meta key?
04:27 rangi ctrl+a is the default
04:27 rangi so ctrl+a [
04:28 rangi enters copy mode
04:28 rangi then you can use the arrow keys
04:28 * kmkale is trying it out
04:28 rangi ctrl+b page up, ctrl+f down
04:28 rangi ctrl+a ]
04:29 rangi to get back out of copy mode
04:29 kmkale yooo hoo :)
04:29 kmkale Thanks rangi
04:29 rangi no worries
04:30 eythian esc gets out of copy mode a little faster
04:30 rangi actually ctrl+esc gets you into copy mode faster too
04:31 kmkale Brooke: I want to thank you for all the reviews.
04:31 kmkale rangi: not on windows
04:31 Brooke no trouble mate
04:31 rangi or maybe its ctrl+a esc
04:31 Brooke can't say that I'd do them then not do them, aye?
04:31 kmkale rangi: not that either. opens the start menue
04:31 rangi stick with [ then ;)
04:32 kmkale Brooke: and I shamelessly dumped many on you
04:32 Brooke are there duplicates of the abstracts, or do we really have over 40ish?
04:32 kmkale rangi: yah. been pulling my hair for long
04:32 Brooke kmkale: there's precious little I do for the community, so I might as well do what I can.
04:33 kmkale Brooke: thare are 21 in review
04:33 kmkale one of them is rejected
04:33 kmkale so 20
04:33 Brooke hmph
04:33 Brooke could have sworn I saw #40summat on one of mine.
04:33 kmkale the rest of 40 are mostly abandoned attempts
04:33 Brooke ah
04:33 kmkale yep you are right
04:33 Brooke 20's great though
04:34 kmkale 20 plus the panel discussions means we are good
04:34 Brooke preciso
04:34 kmkale iven if a few cant make it to the conference
04:34 Brooke indeed
04:34 Brooke downtime at conference is a plus
04:34 kmkale plus we have rangi doing a remote one ;)
04:34 Brooke and we can always jigger a couple on the spot presos
04:34 Brooke if there's TOO much downtime
04:36 Brooke we still have Shah Rukh Khan doing the keynote, right?
04:36 * Brooke is engaging in Retardican Strategery. If she says it enough, it MUST be true.
04:38 kmkale Brooke: Savitra has promised a couple of presentations too.
04:38 Brooke sweet
04:38 kmkale Brooke: Yah you sure you can make Jo look like him?
04:38 Brooke clearly I just needs drink more :P
04:38 kmkale :)
04:39 Brooke she *does* want a pant suit
04:39 kmkale if she gets in the gym now and emerges only for the flight to India, she might get the six pack abs too ;)
04:39 Brooke ha!
04:39 Brooke womenwithsixpackabs--
04:40 Brooke the olde man at the gym that taught me exhaustion reps a LONG time ago when animals could talk and I was a wee wisp of a thing
04:40 Brooke very nearly had me with a six pack
04:40 Brooke I had the centre line
04:40 kmkale aaah but you wantshar rukh for the keynote so poor Jo must work out
04:40 Brooke and then I said "Self, this is nuts. I do not WANT a six pack."
04:41 Brooke Jo > SRK
04:41 * kmkale is scared of Brooke now.
04:41 Brooke just now?
04:42 Brooke Cait's been scairt for years :P
04:42 kmkale yah. I am not scared of talk but six packs? scary..
04:42 Brooke that for women
04:42 Brooke I am absolutely convinced
04:42 Brooke requires a nautilus ab machine
04:42 Brooke and you have to max stack at exhaustion reps
04:43 Brooke and then as if that's not enough
04:43 Brooke you needs do the crazy lower ab crap with the flat bench
04:43 * kmkale has no clue since he has never been inside a Gym
04:43 Brooke "Ohhhh the GYM" -- Homer Simpson
04:44 * ibeardslee has started going and has realised that you actually have to do more than just turn up
04:44 Brooke http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4i8SpNgzA4
04:44 Brooke just turning up is the first step
04:44 kmkale gotta go. BBL
04:44 Brooke cheers
04:45 eythian and the first step is the whole workout. Done.
04:45 Brooke nooo that's the second step :P
04:45 Brooke I'm thinking the 13thish step is when you realise that you're fat as and have to go back, like me ;)
04:46 Brooke though if I were thin again, I'd lose my one and only threat of sitting on Rangi.

04:53 Judit you cannot take seriously any study which not recommends eating chocolate
04:53 Brooke I concur Judit
04:53 Brooke you are only further cementing my opinion of you as good people.
04:54 Judit this is a basic rule
04:54 Brooke indeed
04:54 Brooke in especial with the antioxidants present in proper dark chocolate.
04:54 Brooke we must get our antioxidants, yes?
04:55 Judit a lot of it
04:55 wahanui i think a lot of it is just making sure we get our books back
04:55 Brooke pro!
04:55 Brooke wahanui botsnack chocolate dark enough to absorb sunlight.
04:55 wahanui :)
04:56 Brooke the code4lib bot is super fresh. I suppose this happens when the channel is not publicly logged XD

05:50 cait wow
05:50 cait it worked

05:51 cait :P
05:51 cait I am not so easy
05:55 magnuse hehe
05:55 magnuse cait has special powers! ;-)
05:57 cait hmpf
06:04 magnuse yay, looks like the generalization of the l10n stuff for the packages is starting to come together!
06:04 eythian wahanui: amirite
06:04 wahanui eythian: sorry...
06:04 eythian wahanui: amirite is <reply>http://zork.net/~spork/amirite.pdf
06:04 wahanui OK, eythian.
06:04 eythian amirite?
06:04 wahanui http://zork.net/~spork/amirite.pdf
06:04 eythian magnuse: indeed it does :)
06:05 magnuse but is the problem with the missing JS solved too?
06:06 eythian I don't know. I've been too busy to actually look at it. I've just been throwing in ideas and watching you and Srdjan work on it.
06:06 eythian It's like I'm a manager or something
06:06 magnuse hehe
06:06 magnuse in your dreams, mate ;-)
06:06 eythian I think the missing JS would be pretty easy to solve really
06:06 eythian Just symlink or something
06:07 eythian but I'd have to look closer at how it's supposed to look before I really talk like I know anything
06:07 magnuse well that's thr weird thing, ln -s seems to work for YUI but not for TinyMCE
06:07 eythian hmm. I wonder if we're using system tinymce
06:08 magnuse it's used for the news items at least
06:08 magnuse *editing* news items, of course
06:08 eythian yeah, I mean if we're using debian TinyMCE or bundling one
06:08 magnuse in koha it's bundled, but the packages removes the bundled one and links in the debian one
06:09 magnuse +       rm -r $(TMP)/translations/intranet/__L10N__/js/tinymce
06:09 magnuse +       ln -s /usr/share/tinymce2/www $(TMP)/translations/intranet/__L10N__/js/tinymce
06:10 magnuse that's from the latest commit: http://git.catalyst.net.nz/gw?[…]490c8bf2bd2c512cb
06:10 eythian ah right
06:10 eythian It'd be worth seeing what that actually creates, and how that jibes up with where things are in the system.
06:11 magnuse but for me the rm'ing was erroring out, causing the whole build to fail
06:12 eythian yes, it shouldn't be there. That's because we rm out the en version, and then copy everything for the new version.
06:12 eythian So it doesn't get copied, so it's not there.
06:12 eythian So it can't be deleted
06:12 magnuse yeah, something like that
06:13 eythian it makes sense in my head :)
06:13 magnuse yay! ;-)
06:15 magnuse i'll give the newest code from sdrjan a spin today or tomorrow and see what happens
06:16 magnuse i did comment out the rm's and completed the build - after that YUI was in it's place but not tinymce, which is just weird
06:18 eythian yeah

07:24 kf francharb: thx for your explanation on the list!
07:24 kf francharb: can you tell when the development will be submitted?
07:25 francharb thnks kf
07:25 kf I also wondered about the influence on the tax and the fields selected in the vendor
07:25 francharb we are still working with the library who sponsored these developpement
07:25 kf ok
07:28 kmkale joined #koha
07:28 kf do you have documentation about how the tax calculation should work?
07:29 kf we talked about it a while ago but I still haven't found the time to realyl work on it :(
07:29 francharb kf: i'm working on rfc every second friday and it's pretty long since we did a lot for this library but this friday, i will try to do something clear for you! ;)
07:30 kf that would be nice :)
07:30 francharb especially on the tax calculation
07:30 francharb ;)
07:30 kf I am most interested in the featuers present now
07:30 kf because perhaps we can fix it a little until your bigger feature comes in
07:31 kf francharb++ :)

09:57 rangi yeah the packages are getting really good
09:57 magnuse they sure are
09:58 magnuse i've got 2 responses on my "generous offer" so far - setting up new instances is a breeze
09:58 magnuse and it that offer would not have been possible without the packages
09:58 magnuse catalyst++
10:01 julian joined #koha
10:02 rangi the koha on ubuntu thread is depressing
10:04 magnuse because of the non-official docs?
10:05 rangi yeah and the doing it the weird/wrong/hard way
10:06 magnuse yeah
10:06 magnuse i wonder how we could make people more aware of the INSTALL.* files?
10:07 rangi yeah, not sure .. i mean they are sitting right there
10:07 magnuse yup
10:08 rangi and for installing on ubuntu there is a ppa with packages for natty
10:08 magnuse but on the other hand, it might be somewhat natural to look for help *on the web*, not inside that package you just downloaded
10:09 magnuse ah, yes i saw that somewhere
10:09 magnuse but i forget where
10:09 magnuse is it documented somewhere? the wiki?
10:09 rangi https://launchpad.net/~koha
10:09 magnuse i wonder if putting the INSTALL-files on the wiki would make them more visible?
10:10 rangi people dont seem to look there either
10:11 rangi maybe name the tarball
10:11 rangi koha-3.4.3-read-the-damn-INSTALL-file.tar.gz
10:11 magnuse well, some people seem to find the various install documents on the wiki, but not the INSTALL files...
10:11 magnuse hehe
10:11 magnuse your call! ;-)
10:13 magnuse a search for "install koha debian" on google turns up wiki.koha-community.org/wiki​/Koha_3.2_on_Debian_Squeeze as the first hit
10:13 rangi yep
10:13 rangi what about ubuntu?
10:13 magnuse "install koha"... not so much
10:14 rangi id suspect ppl running debian would know to read INSTALL files, but that might be my bias :)
10:14 magnuse might be ;-)
10:14 magnuse ouch, first hit for "install koha ubuntu" is http://www.botskool.com/progra[…]untu-904-910-1004 - Installing Koha (harley) on Ubuntu 9.04,9.10,10.04
10:15 magnuse but second hit is http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ki/Koha_on_Ubuntu
10:15 rangi right
10:16 magnuse not quite sure what that is
10:16 rangi maybe just replace that with links to the install files
10:17 magnuse google seems to like mediawiki sites, so maybe if we put the INSTALL files on the wiki and gave them the "best" names it would do some good
10:17 rangi yeah cant hurt
10:17 rangi the trick will be keeping them up to date
10:17 magnuse i also had an idea of putting a box on every single installation page oin the wiki saying please try the official files first
10:18 magnuse yeah, keeping them up to date is the trick
10:18 magnuse i could voluteer to be look after that, for exmaple
10:18 rangi that would be cool
10:19 magnuse wow, spelling is hard...
10:21 magnuse and there should be some guidance on how to change them - "do not edit this page, edit the files or tell someone to do it for you"
10:22 magnuse make it go through the proper channels
10:23 magnuse the pages could even be locked so they couldn't be edited willy nilly
10:24 magnuse or there could ba locked page and another page with the text that could be open for suggestions/improvements
10:24 magnuse s/ba/be a/

15:40 libsysguy hey after a patron is restricted and pays their fine
15:40 libsysguy do they get automatically unrestricted

16:48 cait the same time
16:48 cait so with the first or with the second or...
16:48 cait you are only supposed to check one of course :)
16:48 jcamins Oh, I didn't understand the question, sorry.
16:48 jcamins What cait said.
16:49 libsysguy so since you can send 3 letters you can choose to debar those 3 times?
16:49 libsysguy or one of those 3 times
16:49 jcamins One of.
16:49 f18 hi! i i'd like to install koha, succeeded so far, but port 8080 is used by another software, therefore i'd like to change the koha-port from 8080 to 8081 (eg)... the only thing I've to do is change the /etc/apache2/ports.conf and the koha-httpd.conf, no?
16:49 jcamins f18: that is correct.
16:49 libsysguy ^^
16:50 libsysguy is now known as libsysguy_lunch
16:53 f18 but it seems like there is no content in the referenced /, because i get a 404...
16:59 cait which files did you change?
16:59 cait I think you need to change the virtualhost entry
16:59 cait and the port your apache listens to?
17:03 Guillaume joined #koha
17:03 f18 the ports.conf and the koha-httpd.conf,
17:03 f18 I'll try the virtualhost entry
17:04 cait that should be the second file actually I think
17:04 cait apache and me are not really friends
17:04 f18 hehe :)
17:07 f18 hm.. no, the only thing apache tells me while restarting is: [Thu Aug 18 11:05:41 2011] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:8081 has no VirtualHosts
17:07 jcamins f18: that means that you need to adjust the VirtualHost directive.
17:07 f18 but that's not really true, because in the hoa-httpd.conf there is a <VirtualHost 127.0.1.1:8081>
17:07 jcamins f18: there's your problem.
17:07 jcamins It needs to be *:8081
17:08 jcamins Not 127.0.1.1:8081

18:32 luisb hi everyone, I find that I'm going to need multiple instances of koha to facilitate the needs of our research center. I've taken a look at http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]Instances_of_Koha and it seems that each instance, essentially, needs it's own installation.
18:32 luisb is there a way I can have just one codebase and have each instance look there instead?
18:34 magnuse luisb: the easiest way by far is to use the packages for debian - if you can install on debian
18:34 cait :)
18:34 cait what magnuse said
18:34 cait koha-common++
18:35 magnuse luisb: http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]on_Debian_Squeeze
18:35 luisb hmm. my test machine is ubuntu, but prodcution will be rhel-flavored (CentOS)
18:37 luisb thanks for the tip though. perhaps i can scrouge up a server and throw debian on it when the time comes.
18:38 magnuse hm, then i think dev installs will be the best bet
18:38 magnuse it's not that hard
18:38 magnuse then you can have several installs running off the same code

20:13 libsysguy so refworks is asking for z39.50 access to our catalog
20:13 libsysguy has anybody set this up before
20:14 rangi yes
20:15 rangi you'll most likely need help from your IT dept, to get a whole in the firewall
20:16 libsysguy oh great...they were requesting access for like 255 IP's
20:16 libsysguy do you know what port it is on?
20:16 rangi lol, im sure IT will love that ;)
20:16 libsysguy well...they will most likely deny it
20:16 rangi the other part you have to do, is edit your koha-conf.xml
20:16 wizzyrea lots of stuff in the list archives
20:16 wizzyrea on that
20:16 wizzyrea libsysguy
20:16 wahanui libsysguy is curious why it is looking for the biblios table
20:16 rangi to set the z3950 server to listen on an ip/port
20:17 libsysguy ok cool
20:17 cait good night #koha

20:22 rangi http://soundcloud.com/theboomz[…]rs-so-fuck-you-ep
20:22 libsysguy excellent...i like it already
20:23 libsysguy so do I change the host in koha-conf or just find the port number and give it to refworks?
20:24 aarkerio hi!
20:25 rangi libsysguy: you need to make some changes
20:25 rangi lemme find a good writeup
20:25 libsysguy ok thanks rangi
20:25 aarkerio so when I add a MARC21 the data is saved in "biblio" table?
20:25 libsysguy sorry for being such a newb
20:25 rangi naw its fiine
20:25 wizzyrea we love nubs
20:26 francharb left #koha
20:27 rangi aarkerio: biblio, biblioitems and items
20:28 aarkerio mmm, so I can save a book without MARC21 info about it?

20:30 rangi that was for you
20:30 libsysguy w00t...how did you know I was dating a Swede?
20:31 wizzyrea well wahanui knows anyway lol
20:31 rangi heh i meant the link :)
20:31 rangi but yes wahanui is a stalker
20:31 libsysguy oops...i think wahanui is stalking me
20:31 rangi check this out
20:31 rangi https://www.facebook.com/note.[…]10150404069288362
20:31 rangi if you can see it
20:32 wizzyrea wowie!
20:32 aarkerio I am new in Koha, some guy (recently died) captured 2,200 books in... excel!!
20:32 wizzyrea arg!
20:32 libsysguy wow
20:32 libsysguy that is...interesting...
20:32 libsysguy and holy cow aarkerio
20:32 libsysguy csv ftw
20:33 rangi aarkerio: we have some scripts to convert csv to MARC21
20:33 aarkerio but the worksheet have only,     ID, Title, Author and clasification
20:33 aarkerio he made all with excel, lent and checkout and so
20:33 wizzyrea that has to be the most enthusiastic koha launch ever.
20:33 wizzyrea no boring press releases in belize, oh no
20:34 rangi heh for sure
20:34 rangi aarkerio: right, not ever isbn?
20:34 aarkerio rangi: thanks, can you share some link about CSV->Koha
20:34 rangi yep
20:35 aarkerio no, I think he never know about ISBN
20:35 rangi :(
20:35 aarkerio I don't know if is easier capture books again with Koha
20:36 rangi if you only have title and author
20:36 rangi making marc is most likely not worth it, you might be better off to use the Z3950 search in Koha to recatalogue them
20:37 aarkerio yea, maybe is better someone capture 30 or 40 books by day and in few months we get all the 2,200 books
20:39 rangi *nod*
20:39 rangi what i would do
20:39 rangi is by a cheap barcode scanner
20:39 rangi so you can scan the isbn number on the book
20:39 rangi then you can fetch the marc record from library of congress (or somewhere else)
20:41 aarkerio mmm, yea
20:41 aarkerio by the way, since what year books have ISBN?
20:41 wizzyrea 1966
20:42 wizzyrea was when it was developed
20:42 wizzyrea approved as a standard in 1970
20:44 aarkerio ok, thanks guys!

21:23 bencahill joined #koha
21:23 rangi http://www.chorewars.com/invit[…]?id=1374895405058
21:24 bencahill hey guys, is there an easy way to enter, say, title,author,isbn for books that aren't in the loc?
21:24 rangi um yeah, just enter those fields in the editor? (plus the mandatory ones)
21:26 bencahill rangi: this librarian doesn't know what the mandatory fields would be...and isn't that interested (e.g. 000, 001, 003, and 005)
21:26 rangi it will tell you
21:26 rangi if you try and submit it without filling those in
21:26 rangi and it will even fill them in for you
21:26 bencahill ok lemme try one, sec
21:26 rangi 040 and 942c as well
21:26 rangi anything with a little red * by it
21:27 bencahill right...
21:27 bencahill thus the "e.g." ;-P
21:28 bencahill okay, what's the author field?
21:28 bencahill I assume title is 245a?
21:28 bencahill is 100 author?
21:28 wizzyrea 100a is the author
21:28 rangi does it have a red * by it?
21:29 bencahill rangi: 100a doesn't, no
21:29 rangi then its not mandatory
21:29 bencahill rangi: 245a does
21:29 rangi yep
21:29 bencahill but if I have author, might as well enter it?
21:30 rangi you should enter as much as possible
21:30 bencahill right
21:30 rangi the more you have, the more discoverable the record is
21:30 bencahill ok, does it matter if 020a has hyphens/dashes or not?
21:30 wizzyrea supposedly the zebra search compensates
21:30 wizzyrea but I think that might currently be broken
21:31 rangi do it without
21:31 bencahill rangi: ok
21:31 bencahill wizzyrea: wrong question, I should've asked, "which is preferable?" ;)
21:31 wizzyrea ah
21:31 magnus_afk is now known as magnus_away
21:32 bencahill how does the author field (100a) work? it brings up a popup
21:33 rangi its under authority control then
21:33 rangi i feel a link to the manual coming on
21:33 bencahill I do as well
21:34 rangi but you probably want to edit the framework, and turn that off, since im guessing you dont have authorities set up
21:34 bencahill no, I don't
21:34 bencahill (don't have authorities set up, that is)
21:35 rangi pelletiermaxime: http://perldoc.koha-community.org/
21:35 rangi bencahill: http://koha-community.org/docu[…]on/3-4-manual-en/
21:35 bencahill rangi: looking at 1.1.3...
21:36 rangi http://koha-community.org/docu[…]marcbibframeworks
21:36 rangi specifically 1.4.1.4
21:38 pelletiermaxime rangi: ?
21:40 wizzyrea I think he's suggesting that you should consult the perldoc before submitting patches
21:40 wizzyrea :)
21:41 rangi pelletiermaxime: perldoc for all the koha scripts and modules, so bonus points for fixing/adding to it
21:41 rangi its generated from the pod in the files themselves
21:41 pelletiermaxime rangi: oh if only I had the time. Maybe I will in a few months.
21:42 pelletiermaxime rangi: but I found the pod doc to be quite good
21:42 rangi well any patches you submit, should of course update the POD ;)
21:42 pelletiermaxime rangi: well of course. I wouldn't expect a patch that doesn't update the pod to be accepted
21:43 rangi depends if its someones first patch or not, we usually help people with their first ones
21:44 pelletiermaxime anyway, just finished another big day hacking on koha. I will probably come back here from time to time =)
21:44 rangi cool
21:45 pelletiermaxime especially since I will probably work on koha for the next 8 months
21:45 rangi you should definitely come to the irc meetings
21:45 wizzyrea come hang out anytime
21:45 pelletiermaxime hoping I can contribute more someday, hehe
21:45 wizzyrea I found it works best when you just make that part of what you do
21:45 pelletiermaxime left #koha
21:57 bencahill rangi: what should I be looking for? I'm editing the tag 100 subfield a, and it doesn't have an Authorized value...
21:58 rangi not authorised values, authorities, is thesaurus set, its probably set to PERSON_NAME or something like that currently
21:59 bencahill rangi: ah yes, it's set to PERSO_NAME
21:59 bencahill Thesaurus: means that the value is not free text, but must be searched in the authority/thesaurus of the selected category
21:59 rangi thats the one, set that to nothing will switch it off
21:59 bencahill I see :)
21:59 wizzyrea later peps
22:00 rangi cya wizzyrea
22:05 bencahill rangi: what differences are there between the frameworks? (i.e. why do I want to select Books, Booklets, Workbooks for a book?)
22:06 rangi because types of materials should have different things catalogued about them, you can just use default for all if you want
22:06 bencahill ok, thanks
22:08 bencahill rangi: ofc, I can't change subfields for the default framework, so I should use the bks one if I want to change stuff (e.g. the authorities for 100b)?
22:10 rangi you cant change subfields?
22:10 rangi why?
22:13 bencahill rangi: oh wait...nvm
