00:27 kulps would it be a bad idea to remove the "mandatory" flag from most of the marc framework fields?
00:27 kulps Since my library is currently just for me, I don't know I need all the "required" information
00:28 kulps keep maybe the author, title, isbn and item type as required
00:28 kulps let the rest just come in as it does?
00:32 huginn New commit(s) needsignoff: [Bug 5473] 952 fields should be filled in by Acquisitions <http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5473>
00:34 eythian There aren't many that are mandatory as it is, are there?
00:35 eythian I'd leave the ones that are <010 as mandatory, parts of things may expect them to be there. I think other than that it's fair game really.
00:35 rangi you could if you liked, you would be making invalid marc records tho, which may come back to bite you in the future
00:35 rangi what he said
00:35 eythian oh, the item type one (942$something) is probably worth keeping, too
00:41 kulps left #koha
00:43 kulps joined #koha
00:45 kulps hmm, my javachat seems to have cycled since I was afk, not sure if anybody answered if it was a bad idea to clear the flags.
00:49 eythian kulps:

00:49 eythian <eythian> I'd leave the ones that are <010 as mandatory, parts of things may expect them to be there. I think other than that it's fair game really.
00:49 eythian <rangi> you could if you liked, you would be making invalid marc records tho, which may come back to bite you in the future
00:49 eythian <rangi> what he said
00:49 eythian <eythian> oh, the item type one (942$something) is probably worth keeping, too
00:54 kulps yeah, I dont plan to make my own records, only pull from the canadian library
00:54 kulps the records I would make would be invalid anyway
00:54 kulps I was hoping to use Koha as a bit of an asset tracker
00:54 kulps so if I had an item type for "asset" and used author as manfactureur, title as model, isbn as serial number
00:55 juan_sieira_ joined #koha
00:55 kulps it's a bit screwy, I admit, but I like the idea of keeping it all in a database
00:55 eythian It's a little screwy, but you could make it work to some degree I expect.
00:56 eythian If you're willing to accept that sometimes you may be pushing a bit against the grain of how it expects to work.
00:57 juan_sieira left #koha
00:57 kulps I really want to use Koha to manage my books, because it sure beats typing it out by hand
00:57 kulps maybe I should bite the bullet and look for a personal asset manager...
00:57 kulps hmmm
00:57 kulps just ideas.
00:58 kulps Thanks for entertaining them none the less!

04:35 Judit might be a stupid question but is it possible that i dont have ceilingdudate and globalduedate in my syspref
04:37 eythian It seems quite possible.
04:37 Judit1 joined #koha
04:37 Judit left #koha
04:37 eythian They don't exist in mine either.
04:38 Judit1 you broke it!
04:38 Judit1 why is that
04:38 eythian are they supposed to exist?
04:39 Judit1 http://koha-community.org/docu[…]?ch=c18#circprefs
04:40 Judit1 yes, i am on 3.4
04:40 Judit1 shame on me
04:40 eythian you're spelling them wrong
04:42 Judit1 if i search for DueDate
04:42 Judit1 i receive only SpecifyDueDate
04:42 eythian but I can't find mention of them in the preferences file anyway
04:42 eythian and I'm looking on master
04:43 rangi they were moved in master
04:43 eythian there's reference to them in the code
04:43 eythian C4/Circulation.pm:            $datedue = C4::Dates->new( C4::Context->preference('globalDueDate') );
04:43 rangi look in localuse
04:44 eythian not there either

04:45 rangi git show e57dadf762101cfb7371c3d2c93e8163a2ace69f
04:45 eythian although no one removed the code that references them
04:45 Judit1 removed from 3.4?
04:45 rangi you define them in the circ rules
04:45 Judit1 but still in the manual
04:45 Judit1 hm

04:49 Brooke but nengard is relatively fine.
04:49 Judit1 in circ rules there is a Hard Due date
04:49 Judit1 themanual is wrong this time, not me
04:49 Judit1 thank you!
04:50 Brooke People that write documentation are flawless goddesses that are never, ever wrong.
04:50 rangi Brooke: she's been on irc already, and gchat :)
04:51 Brooke rangi: I know, but you might be worried that she's being macho :P
04:51 Brooke Judit, what section and subsection and stuff?
04:51 rangi id accuse nengard of lots of things, being macho would never be one
04:51 * Brooke snorts.
04:52 Judit1 Broke i know they are flawless and never, ever wrong :)
04:53 Judit1 that is why i like them
04:53 Judit1 and manuals

04:58 Judit1 brooke asked me to state it here
04:58 Judit1 okay i send it to the mailing list
04:58 rangi or better yet
04:58 rangi make a patch
05:00 Judit1 and send it to the mailian glist
05:00 rangi the docs mailing list yes
05:02 rangi right, hometime
05:02 eythian Hmm, I have half an hour to decide if I should bike across town or not.
05:03 Judit1 do!
05:03 Judit1 :)
05:04 eythian well, I'm afraid of getting caught out in a hailstorm
05:04 cait snow again?
05:04 Judit1 so then what?:)
05:05 eythian cait: no, although it looked like it. It was a massive, although brief, hailstorm.
05:05 eythian earlier today.
05:05 cait oh!
05:05 cait not something you want to witness on a bike
05:05 eythian not really, no.
05:05 Judit1 chicken!
05:06 eythian I'm OK with that.
05:07 eythian On the other hand, it seems to be a bit sunny out there right now
05:08 * cait would prefer cycling in a hailstorm to figuring out things like translating addresses for paging early in the morning
05:25 rangi still cold but
05:25 rangi blue sky tho
05:27 eythian yeah, blue out this way too
05:27 eythian and so now it's time to hope it stays that way.

08:38 magnuse he's on a one year leave to work at a public library, including their book boat!
08:38 rangi ahhhh
08:38 rangi maybe by the end of the year they will be on koha :)
08:39 magnuse he almost got koha onboard the book boat, but someone got there just ahead of him with a proprietary ils...
08:39 rangi ahhh
08:39 magnuse if he has his way they sure will! ;-)

10:46 rangi magnuse: do you know of a marc212rdf script?
10:49 magnuse rangi: did you see https://github.com/bensinober/normarc2rdf ? mappings are configurable so it shouldn't really be normarc specific
10:49 rangi ahh
10:50 kf magnuse++
10:50 magnuse that script is based on a marc21 one though, let me see if i can find it
10:51 rangi yeah its the config i dont want to write :)
10:51 magnuse hehe
10:51 rangi if you can do it in ruby, then it should be easy peasy to do it in perl, using the same yaml config
10:51 magnuse https://github.com/rsinger/marc2rdf-modeler - A set of Ruby scripts for taking MARC21 records and remodeling them in RDF
10:51 rangi and then, we can make a save as rdf option
10:52 magnuse yes please!
10:52 kf !
10:52 magnuse but sadly, straight mappings from marc 2 rdf aren't all that interesting, i think
10:52 rangi well rsinger does some lcsh stuff too
10:53 magnuse turning marc into rdf gets interesting when yu use rdf to make up for the shortcomings of marc...
10:53 magnuse adding identifiers, realtionships etc
10:53 rangi yup, but an export as rdf is a first step
10:53 magnuse it sure is, and would be very cool!
10:54 rangi bit late at night for me to start now, maybe tomorrow night :)
10:54 magnuse i've been mulling over an idea of how to use rdf to enhance e.g. koha: http://marc-must-die.info/inde[…]ith_semantic_data
10:54 magnuse yay!
10:54 magnuse it's less than half baked yet, but i will keep adding to it
10:54 kf rangi++ magnuse++
10:55 rangi one thing i think would be easy
10:55 rangi is to do foaf
10:55 magnuse for records? patrons?

10:59 rangi you know what i hate, when i cant find a license statement
10:59 magnuse yeah, that sux
10:59 rangi neither of those repos have them
10:59 magnuse i'll shoot bensinober an email

I never was afraid of loosing the match, I was sure japanese ppl will go down, but during 20mn, they were really walking on water & we were looking at them !!!
12:24 magnuse lastnode: i'm afraid "a sensible explanation of ddc" is an oxymoron ;-)
12:25 magnuse the numbers after the decimal are not local - think of it as one long number - the decimal is just there to make it easier to read
12:34 Guillaume left #koha
12:39 oleonard lastnode: The numbers after the decimal are simply added specificity

13:14 oleonard Oh, you're still there? Cool. That's where I grew up y'know. The Lawrence Public Library was my childhood library.
13:15 druthb I did not know that, Owen.  :)
13:15 druthb I got here Saturday, and wizzyrea and trea and little Spud came out for a bit, then again on Sunday for dinner over the fire with us.  Clinton Lake has a nice Corps of Engineers campground.
13:19 * oleonard wants to visit Lawrence now
13:19 druthb The weather is nigh-on perfect here this morning...clear, 65F, supposed to get into the high 80s.  Rain possible later in the week.

13:25 paul_p_ joined #koha
13:27 oleonard It sounds corny, but I love the university's natural history museum. Of course it's something out of my childhood too, but I think it's a real gem.
13:27 maximep joined #koha
13:28 * jcamins wonders if oleonard intended that as a pun.
13:28 * oleonard isn't sure they have any gems
13:28 druthb I was thinking of that one, oleonard;  there's also apparently a little museum about the building of Clinton Lake, right out here by us, that we'll probably try to hit.
13:29 jcamins oleonard: I was referring to "corny." ;)
13:30 oleonard Oh, I think you're thinking of Iowa :P
13:30 jcamins Kansas isn't generally the state that comes to mind when I think "corn," but it does contribute 4% of the United States' corn production.
13:32 rhcl_away u2 funny
13:32 rhcl_away is now known as rhcl
13:33 * druthb got to see more of SW Iowa and NW Missouri on the way here than she had planned on...70-some miles of I 29 were closed, and the detour was *way* out in the cornfields.

15:26 oleonard kf: Sure
15:26 kf ;)
15:26 kf I have a library with a blind staff member testing koha
15:27 kf and they complain that field descrption and field in cataloging can not be associated with each other
15:27 kf and I thought you might have an idea about it
15:28 * oleonard is looking
15:28 kf thank you :)
15:30 oleonard field description as in "CONTROL NUMBER," etc?
15:32 * chris_n wonders if oleonard has on rose-colored glasses today ;)
15:33 * oleonard wonders why addbiblio looks so different today
15:33 kf oleonard: I think so
15:39 oleonard kf: I think what they mean is that the screen reader is looking for a <label> <input> pair.
15:40 oleonard In the Koha editor some fields have their own label, but not all. If the field has subfields, then the subfields each have a label
15:40 kf hmm
15:40 oleonard Tag has no subfields, the description isn't a label
15:41 kf I will try to check wtih the library
15:41 oleonard http://screencast.com/t/hjRzhtuMAjBc
15:41 kf if it's a problem for all fields or only some of them
15:41 oleonard The text in all capital letters is not a label. The text below it is.
15:42 kf looks right to me
15:42 kf seems right?
15:42 kf I wonder what would be better, treat them like headings?
15:43 oleonard One of the problems is that the all-capital-letters text is, for some fields, a link which controls the collapse behavior
15:43 libsysguy I have a question about diacritics
15:44 libsysguy some of ours are messed up
15:44 libsysguy is that a mysql issue
15:44 kf oleonard: hm
15:44 matts_away is now known as matts
15:45 sekjal libsysguy:  it's possible.  what are your MySQL encodings for your Koha database?
15:46 Guillaume joined #koha
15:46 libsysguy can you refresh me on how to check that
15:46 libsysguy is it in my.cnf?
15:46 libsysguy or is there a mysql command that i can run
15:46 jcamins libsysguy: probaby not MySQL encoding, but it's worth checking.
15:46 jcamins SHOW CREATE TABLE biblioitem;
15:46 lastnode oleonard: yes im using the LOC call numbers, though some books i am entering dont hvae LOC entries.
15:46 lastnode which is why i asked.
15:47 jcamins I think that will tell you what the encoding is set to.
15:47 lastnode the dewey numbers i grab from LOC - ive been trying to interpret them too. sometimes they dotn amke sense :(
15:47 lastnode (I am not a Librarian)
15:47 oleonard lastnode: Do you have an example?
15:47 lastnode sure
15:47 libsysguy the charset is utf8

15:48 lastnode that is History & geography>>History of Europe>>France & Monaco
15:49 lastnode (944) now i want to know what .083 means. andthen /6
15:49 libsysguy hmm so maybe the record import is not importing correctly?
15:51 libsysguy seen hdl?

15:51 jcamins .083 is part of the classification.
15:51 jcamins /6 is giving you an option for going into more detail.
15:52 kf oleonard: thank you
15:52 kf oleonard: I will ask for more details and perhaps they have a suggeston what would work better

16:07 oleonard lastnode: The only way to find out exactly what the .083 /means/ is to find a DDC reference, which you'll have to pay for
16:08 oleonard ...because OCLC isn't looking out for you, it just wants your money.
16:08 kf oh wow
16:08 oleonard So for instance, our DDC reference says the .083 means "Period of the Fifth Republic, 1958-"
16:08 oleonard And then it says .083 6 means "1958-1969"
16:09 oleonard .083 7 means 1970-1979, .083 8 means 1980-1989, etc.

16:12 oleonard I've seen something similar, and it wasn't a font problem.
16:12 kf http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erd%C5%91s_number

16:13 jcamins libsysguy: looks like you need to re-encode your catalog.
16:13 * oleonard can do so using Firebug and see the correct character
16:13 libsysguy jcamins prepare for my newb question
16:13 jcamins libsysguy: sekjal has a script that does it, I think.
16:13 libsysguy how do I do that

16:21 oleonard The Dewey Decimal Classification system is property of OCLC
16:21 jcamins lastnode: the official DDC books.
16:21 oleonard lastnode: Or you can pay for online access I think
16:21 jcamins Or the online version.
16:21 jcamins Regardless, you have to pay for it.
16:22 oleonard The marc editor is pretty hardcore if advancedMarceditor and hide_marc are both set to "don't display" http://screencast.com/t/SSA0kqEzV7C
16:23 jcamins Heh.
16:25 sekjal libsysguy:  doesn't look like a normalization problem, which is what I've figured out a scripted fix for
16:25 lastnode right, oleonard. i guess i could start with just doing primary dewey classification (no decimals) and then seeing if i can get my school to pay for OCLC access later
16:25 lastnode thank you very much for your help
16:26 libsysguy hmm
16:26 sekjal looks like the data in the MARC is just plain wrong.  not sure if re-encoding from MARC-8 to UTF-8 would help...
16:26 oleonard lastnode: There's no reason for you not to follow the suggestion of the LOC CIP data, but for original cataloging you might skip the decimals
16:26 oleonard lastnode: Are you using z39.50 to search for existing records?
16:27 lastnode oleonard: yes
16:28 libsysguy sekjal I think they are importing in Marc-21
16:28 oleonard lastnode: Good.
16:30 sekjal libsysguy:  MARC-21 is the Marc flavour; MARC-8 would be the character encoding
16:30 jcamins sekjal: this is what the ANS ran into, that you wrote the script to fix.
16:30 jcamins It was encoded as MARC-8, but treated as UTF-8.
16:31 libsysguy ohh...ok...I told margo to verify that the records with diacritics from one of our librarians were correct...the other librarian uses connexion (sp) so that may be causing the issue

22:45 libsysguy joined #koha
22:45 libsysguy hey guys
22:45 libsysguy I have a question about fines
22:45 rangi yup
22:45 libsysguy so it looks like fines calculate a day late?
22:46 rangi ?
22:46 rangi they calculate acording to your circ rules
22:46 libsysguy well if a person is lets say 45 minutes late turning in a book
22:46 rangi yup
22:47 libsysguy then the chargeable_units would still be 0 right?
22:47 rangi ?
22:47 libsysguy because it does end_date-start_date
22:47 rangi are you talking hourly loans, or normal koha
22:47 libsysguy well they both run on the same code in this case
22:48 libsysguy but normal koha for the example im trying to fix
22:48 libsysguy basically we had a prof turn in a book the day after it was due
22:48 rangi for normal koha, the minimum period for a book to be overdue is 1
22:48 libsysguy Koha said the item was overdue
22:48 rangi day
22:48 libsysguy but didn't assess a fine
22:48 rangi for fines, because thats the minimum period you can define for the fine to be applied
22:49 rangi and it only works it out, when the cron job runs
22:49 libsysguy right so the cron run every 30 minutes
22:49 rangi so if someone has returned it before the cron job runs, then it wont get a fine
22:50 rangi right so for normal koha, it only gets a fine if its returned on a day other than the day it was due
22:50 rangi times dont matter
22:50 rangi only the day
22:50 libsysguy so the day after it was due there should be a fine...right
22:50 rangi depends what your circ rules say
22:50 libsysguy I;m thinking time shouldn't come into play here since its still running at night
22:51 libsysguy well the interval is set to one
22:51 libsysguy so yes I would assume it would
22:51 rangi whats the grace period set to
22:51 libsysguy 0
22:51 rangi then yes after 1 day overdue, it should apply a fine
22:51 libsysguy but (going by what my circulation librarian told me) the patron turned the item in the day after it was due with no charge
22:52 libsysguy odd...
22:52 rangi well you can check it in the db, it will log the returndate
22:52 libsysguy btw i understand your frustration with SVN...Coral uses it still :'(
22:52 libsysguy what table?
22:52 rangi old_issues
22:52 rangi that has all the returned itesm
22:53 rangi and/or statistics
22:53 rangi select * from statistics where itemnumber= whatever and type='return';
22:54 rangi that has a nice datetime stamp on it, so will tell you exactly when it was returned
22:54 libsysguy gotcha
22:54 libsysguy ok I'll investigate further...it may be that the librarian is crazy ;)
22:55 eythian often the way ;)
22:56 libsysguy oh trust me I know
22:56 eythian jcamins: you can, yep
22:58 paul_p joined #koha
23:02 libsysguy ok so the due date was 2011-09-12 23:59:00 and the return date was 2011-09-13 13:38:58
23:03 libsysguy so based on normal koha would you say fine or no fine
23:03 rangi you are sure the fines cron job runs every 30 mins?
23:03 rangi (on normal koha we just run it once a day)
23:03 rangi round 6am
23:03 libsysguy 30  * * * *  $KOHA_CRON_PATH/fines.pl
23:04 libsysguy is what I have in my crontab
23:04 rangi id have expected, that one would go on at 00:30 on the 13th then
23:04 rangi given the appropriate circ rules being set
23:04 rangi look in /tmp
23:04 libsysguy that is what I would have expected as well
23:05 rangi there should be some .log files
23:05 rangi probably running it every 30 mins makes them less useful tho
23:05 libsysguy heh
23:05 libsysguy look at the ones for the 13th?
23:06 rangi yeah
23:06 libsysguy oh man...so should I look for anything in particular
23:06 libsysguy just the patron
23:06 rangi yeah
23:07 rangi its a tab sep file
23:07 libsysguy yeah i see the patron
23:07 rangi you can open it libreoffice or gnumeric it makes its easier to read
23:07 rangi anything in the fines column?
23:07 libsysguy but no fine at the end...it just says 0
23:07 rangi right
23:07 rangi one thing to check
23:07 rangi in sysprefs
23:07 libsysguy but the days overdue also says 0
23:08 rangi right, that would be why it didnt do it then
23:08 libsysguy what is sysprefs?
23:08 rangi other fines are going on eh?
23:09 libsysguy I believe so
23:09 rangi but if its saying 0 days overdue, then yeah its not gonna charge anything
23:09 libsysguy I tested fines for hourly
23:09 rangi what does it say for date_due
23:09 libsysguy and it was working (or so I thought
23:09 libsysguy the 12th
23:09 libsysguy same as the db
23:10 rangi its the 14th here today
23:10 rangi and i see things like
23:10 rangi Library Assistant               10398   141155  2011-09-13              1
23:10 rangi so its picking it as 1 day overdue
23:11 rangi my guess its it somethign to do with circ rules
23:11 libsysguy hmm
23:12 rangi or the changes to do with hourly
23:12 libsysguy this is what I have  712830  0000002027266   2011-09-12 23:59:00             0       0
23:12 rangi yeah see in normal koha, there is no time, just date
23:12 libsysguy well there are only about 3 lines in the fines script that changed for hourly
23:12 libsysguy but...maybe
23:12 libsysguy I can try merging...but not till this weekend
23:12 rangi and thats the file for the 13th eh?
23:13 libsysguy yes it is
23:13 rangi interesting i see nothin that have 0 for days overdue
23:14 libsysguy I found that odd as well
23:14 libsysguy that it saw it as overdue but didn't put a number in for it
23:14 rangi (3505 lines for this mornings run)
23:14 rangi yeah
23:14 rangi so i suspect the code that is calculating how overdue something is
23:14 rangi that is the problem
23:15 rangi lemme check it out
23:15 rangi ($datedue_days <= $today_days) or next;
23:15 rangi its getting past that, so thats good

23:17 libsysguy next;    # not overdue
23:17 libsysguy }
23:17 libsysguy ++$counted;
23:17 libsysguy my ( $amount, $type, $daycounttotal ) =
23:17 libsysguy CalcFine( $overdue, $borrower->{categorycode},
23:17 libsysguy $branchcode, $datedue, $today );

23:22 rangi yes the entire CalcFine sub has changed
23:23 rangi try  git show 5c7c3377 when you get back
23:32 paul_p left #koha
23:34 rangi my $days_minus_grace = $chargeable_units - $data->{firstremind}; if ($data->{'chargeperiod'}  && $days_minus_grace  ) {
23:35 rangi i suspect $days_minus_grace is becoming 0
23:35 rangi return ($amount, $data->{chargename}, $days_minus_grace);
23:35 rangi that should give you enough to go on
