It's truly something else to suddenly have flames above the fuel tank fill cap protruding through the bonnet ahead of you... |

huh - i just built koha-common off current master, with the patches for bug 4877 |
| 08:18 |

Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4877 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, magnus, NEW , koha-* scripts have no manual pages |
| 08:18 |
|
rangi |
yup? |
| 08:18 |
|
magnuse |
and when i do "sudo dpkg -i" on a fresh vm i get lots of... |
| 08:19 |
|
magnuse |
e.g. koha-common needs tinymce2 but tinymce2 is not installed? |
| 08:19 |
|
rangi |
hmm |
| 08:20 |
|
eythian |
magnuse: that's normal |
| 08:20 |
|
rangi |
yup, thats quite normal |
| 08:20 |
|
eythian |
it's because they're not installed |
| 08:20 |
|
rangi |
try doing an apt-get -f install now |
| 08:20 |
|
eythian |
what I do is do |
| 08:20 |
|
eythian |
that |
| 08:20 |
|
rangi |
and it should pull in all the dependencies |
| 08:20 |
|
magnuse |
ah |
| 08:20 |
|
rangi |
because you aren't apt-getting it, but dpkg -i it, it doesnt get a chance to pull in the dependencies |
| 08:21 |
|
eythian |
(what I actually do is browse through the .deb itself usually to see what's in there) |
| 08:21 |

it's been a while since i did it from scratch... |

Morning, folks. Got a question from one of my libraries. They've bought an iPad2 for staff use in the stacks and are trying to find a browser for it that would work with Koha. I've never used or even seen an iPad -- any ideas? |

it certainly should |

They said they couldn't find a version of Firefox for it |

They just don't understand that Safari is a standards-compliant browser. it will work. |

OK, good news, thanks. I'll tell them. |

libsysguy |
ok so we've been having this issue with hourly loans and fines since the fines script runs in the cron |
| 14:56 |
|
libsysguy |
it is rather bothersom when you have to tell a patron that they have to wait 30 minutes to pay their overdue fine |
| 14:56 |
|
* wizzyrea |
doesn't understand the context of gmcharlt's chorus of angels |
| 14:56 |
|
libsysguy |
so I'm wondering if anyone is opposed to adding a call to see if overdues and fines when an item is turned in |
| 14:56 |
|
wizzyrea |
libsysguy: true |
| 14:57 |
|
wizzyrea |
or a separate cron for hourly loans |
| 14:57 |
|
libsysguy |
even then there is still a delay |
| 14:57 |
|
libsysguy |
this would make it instant |
| 14:57 |
|
gmcharlt |
wizzyrea: the upshot is that it fixes a rather longstanding bug in Firefox (and xulrunner) that could play hash with trying to print on old receipt printers |
| 14:57 |
|
wizzyrea |
AHA |
| 14:57 |
|
libsysguy |
and reduce load on the system by reducing the amount of calls to fines |
| 14:58 |

| 14:59 |
|
libsysguy |
oh God...what have I done |
| 14:59 |
|
sekjal |
libsysguy: there has been some call for doing a fines calculation on-demand, instead of just on cron |
| 14:59 |
|
rhcl |
I really want to become the world expert on printing from linux/koha to receipt printers. We've been unsuccessful so far, and I need to take a look at the issue. |
| 14:59 |
|
libsysguy |
sekjal will have syslock when he starts typing with all his opinions :p |
| 15:00 |
|
libsysguy |
sekjal I think there will be more of a call when we push hourly |
| 15:00 |
|
sekjal |
agreed |
| 15:00 |
|
sekjal |
so it can either be event driven (checkin, etc) or scheduled (on cron) |
| 15:01 |
|
libsysguy |
so do you think it should be a separate bug or included in hourly. Also I think it should be both |
| 15:01 |
|
wizzyrea |
I, for one, would have to *know* that it wasn't going to make checkin excessively slow |
| 15:01 |
|
libsysguy |
just a nightly cron |
| 15:01 |
|
sekjal |
cron is kind of limited, since you have to schedule it, and there is at least 1 min max wait-time |
| 15:02 |
|
sekjal |
and running it every minute could produce a lot of excess load on the system |
| 15:02 |
|
libsysguy |
well it would be the time to do an overdue lookup on that item then the time to run calcfine |
| 15:02 |
|
libsysguy |
i can run 300+ overdues in under 15 s |
| 15:02 |
|
libsysguy |
sekjal exactly |

libsysguy |
but that is making the librarians mad |
| 15:02 |
|
libsysguy |
and are sharpening their pitchforks |
| 15:03 |
|
sekjal |
what system events would we want to trigger on? |
| 15:03 |
|
sekjal |
checkin is a good candidate |
| 15:03 |
|
sekjal |
patron details page load? |
| 15:03 |
|
libsysguy |
I think checkin is a must |
| 15:03 |
|
wizzyrea |
patron fines page load |
| 15:03 |
|
wizzyrea |
not details |
| 15:03 |
|
wizzyrea |
(imo) |
| 15:04 |
|
libsysguy |
how about anywhere the overdues check gets called? |
| 15:04 |
|
libsysguy |
that makes logical sense (imo) |
| 15:04 |
|
wizzyrea |
it makes sense to me to do it anywhere you could do something with a fine |
| 15:05 |
|
wizzyrea |
so, fines tab, really. |
| 15:05 |
|
sekjal |
ideally, I'd like it to be up to date every time you check, no matter what vector you come in from |
| 15:05 |
|
libsysguy |
^^ |
| 15:05 |
|
wizzyrea |
the details page only shows the total due |
| 15:05 |
|
wizzyrea |
on it's fines tab |
| 15:06 |
|
wizzyrea |
I'd just as soon get rid of that tab, as the fines tab on the side shows the detail view |
| 15:06 |
|
libsysguy |
I also agree with that |
| 15:06 |
|
sekjal |
put it behind an AJAX-y widget |
| 15:06 |

http://screencast.com/t/izGTBVF1a |
| 15:09 |

that tab is pretty useless |
| 15:09 |
|
wizzyrea |
*nod* idk why anybody would use it, honestly |
| 15:09 |
|
wizzyrea |
the others are fie |
| 15:09 |
|
wizzyrea |
fine* |
| 15:09 |
|
oleonard |
Instant gratification? |
| 15:10 |
|
cait |
to see te total quickly |
| 15:10 |
|
cait |
I think it's ok where it is |
| 15:10 |
|
cait |
we have it in the patron account too (and sometimes I hide the fines tab there because it's so confusng and untranslated) |
| 15:10 |
|
libsysguy |
but the total is below all the charges |
| 15:10 |
|
wizzyrea |
and it slows down the load of that page |
| 15:10 |
|
cait |
libsysguy: I think the important thing is that the fine does not show up on return - but in the moment it occurs |
| 15:10 |
|
wizzyrea |
and we have a whole beautiful tab |
| 15:11 |
|
wizzyrea |
devoted to fines |
| 15:11 |
|
cait |
libsysguy: if this can not be done reasonable with a cron we need another solution |
| 15:11 |
|
libsysguy |
then I think we need another solution |
| 15:11 |
|
cait |
wizzyrea: another reason: because when you print that page |
| 15:12 |
|
cait |
wizzyrea: you can give the patron a lot of the information that is saved about him in the system |
| 15:12 |
|
libsysguy |
because with hourly it will be almost impossible to catch the fine when it occurs |
| 15:12 |
|
cait |
and that is something we need to be able to do |
| 15:12 |
|
* wizzyrea |
wonders if the print page is actually dependent on what is shown on this page |
| 15:12 |
|
libsysguy |
you will always have to be watching |
| 15:12 |
|
cait |
the tabs print differently |
| 15:13 |
|
cait |
hm |
| 15:13 |
|
cait |
wizzyrea: perhaps you are right |
| 15:13 |
|
cait |
about removing it |
| 15:13 |
|
cait |
but I always kind of liked it |
| 15:15 |
|
|

|
wizzyrea |
it doesn't have any functionality that I can discern, besides showing the total? |
| 15:16 |
|
sekjal |
I think for hourly, we'll either need to run fines on a minutely cron, or else have a daemon |
| 15:16 |
|
cait |
*giggles* |
| 15:17 |
|
wizzyrea |
cait we're talking about print -> print page, righ |
| 15:17 |
|
wizzyrea |
right? |
| 15:17 |
|
libsysguy |
why can't we just run the overdue function when we do a checkin? |
| 15:17 |
|
cait |
we were |
| 15:18 |
|
wizzyrea |
ok then yea |
| 15:18 |
|
wizzyrea |
that comes from a diff template |
| 15:18 |
|
cait |
libsysguy: because you will still want to calculate and report on fines before that |
| 15:18 |
|
libsysguy |
right |
| 15:18 |
|
libsysguy |
so run a nightly cron |
| 15:18 |
|
wizzyrea |
well a compromise would be |
| 15:18 |
|
libsysguy |
just like you would now |
| 15:18 |
|
wizzyrea |
if the loan is hourly, compute the fine now |
| 15:18 |
|
cait |
or that deamon thing |
| 15:18 |
|
wizzyrea |
if not |
| 15:18 |
|
wizzyrea |
don't |

sounds fun too |

|
cait |
i was just reading about daemons - that's why I was giggling |
| 15:19 |
|
wizzyrea |
but i'm not sure there's a way to differentiate a type of loan |
| 15:19 |
|
* cait |
is reading 'city of glass' |
| 15:19 |
|
wizzyrea |
oo |
| 15:19 |
|
cait |
horizon did that |
| 15:19 |
|
cait |
calculated the hourly loans on return |
| 15:20 |
|
cait |
but people never knew what was waiting for them in the library |
| 15:20 |
|
libsysguy |
so did symphony |
| 15:20 |
|
libsysguy |
cait I don't understand |
| 15:20 |
|
cait |
and you could not send out notices for the fines with the amounts in them |
| 15:20 |
|
cait |
and it was all kind of trouble |
| 15:20 |
|
cait |
waiting = fines waiting |
| 15:20 |
|
cait |
unpleasant surprises |
| 15:20 |
|
sekjal |
our circulation rules are configured so that fines accrue on a schedule |
| 15:21 |
|
sekjal |
possibly because of history |
| 15:21 |
|
sekjal |
but also, that makes sense |
| 15:21 |
|
cait |
answering questions like: why can i see that fine but not the other on my borrower account and so on |
| 15:21 |
|
cait |
oh |
| 15:21 |
|
sekjal |
every X minutes, charge Y fee |
| 15:22 |
|
sekjal |
since hourly loans is really minutely-loans, we need a minutely cron to preserve what we're doing |
| 15:22 |
|
wizzyrea |
http://screencast.com/t/SPQT626KqBg for cait |
| 15:22 |
|
wizzyrea |
is what print page looks like |
| 15:22 |
|
cait |
from fines? |
| 15:22 |
|
cait |
tag? |
| 15:22 |
|
cait |
tab? |
| 15:22 |
|
wizzyrea |
nope, from the patron detail page |
| 15:23 |
|
cait |
ah |
| 15:23 |
|
cait |
looks nice |
| 15:23 |
|
wizzyrea |
well, from all tabs |
| 15:23 |
|
wizzyrea |
it calls a totally separate template |
| 15:23 |
|
cait |
but that's checkouts, right? |
| 15:23 |
|
cait |
not fines, address, holds and all that |
| 15:23 |
|
cait |
oh, I see |
| 15:23 |
|
cait |
does that make sense? |
| 15:23 |
|
cait |
why not use a print css? |
| 15:23 |
|
libsysguy |
sekjal do we really charge based on that |
| 15:24 |
|
libsysguy |
I thought it was every X minutes check for new fines |
| 15:24 |
|
libsysguy |
-> apply them |

all good questions, not sure I have answers |
| 15:24 |
|
sekjal |
libsysguy: yes, true |
| 15:24 |
|
wizzyrea |
but, what I mean is |
| 15:24 |
|
wizzyrea |
the tab on the patron detail |
| 15:24 |
|
wizzyrea |
shows less detail than the print page |
| 15:25 |
|
wizzyrea |
so the printing argument, I don't think it holds |
| 15:25 |
|
libsysguy |
so I guess I'm a little confused as to what you are proposing we do with the daemon |
| 15:25 |
|
cait |
wizzyrea: ok :) |
| 15:25 |
|
cait |
libsysguy: immediate fining! |
| 15:26 |
|
wizzyrea |
not trying to be a jerk or anything |
| 15:26 |
|
wizzyrea |
:) |
| 15:26 |
|
libsysguy |
but wouldn't doing a system call do the same thing? |
| 15:27 |
|
* wizzyrea |
imagines steam coming out of libsysguy's ears |
| 15:28 |
|
wizzyrea |
:) |
| 15:28 |
|
libsysguy |
basically |
| 15:28 |
|
sekjal |
I'm looking at all as triggers and actions |
| 15:28 |
|
libsysguy |
its been a rough morning |
| 15:28 |
|
* wizzyrea |
gives libsysguy a hot cup of tea and a cookie |
| 15:28 |
|
* libsysguy |
accepts wizzyrea's tokens |
| 15:28 |
|
wizzyrea |
and permission to wield the double bird and spin |
| 15:29 |
|
sekjal |
if we only triggered on checkin or overdues or the loading of the patrons' fine page, then any other vector for approaching the question "what fines does this patron have AS OF RIGHT NOW?" wouldn't be accurate |
| 15:29 |
|
sekjal |
it would be on us to think of every single place where that question could be asked, and include the logic to update the fines before asking |
| 15:29 |
|
libsysguy |
oh...well I was thinking that we would still be running the cron and those checkin operations |
| 15:29 |
|
sekjal |
a more thorough method would be to do this on a cron every minute, or with a daemon |
| 15:30 |
|
* libsysguy |
is a daemon newb :'( |
| 15:30 |
|
reiveune |

wizzyrea |
seriously has anyone ever heard him say anything but bye? |
| 15:30 |
|
sekjal |
I imagine the daemon option is not going to be very viable |
| 15:30 |
|
libsysguy |
not I |
| 15:30 |
|
sekjal |
for systems with many, many overdues, keeping track of all those patrons in the daemon's memory would be... expensive |
| 15:31 |
|
wizzyrea |
^^ |
| 15:31 |
|
libsysguy |
I think setting the cron to run every minute is also very expensive |
| 15:31 |
|
sekjal |
yes |
| 15:31 |
|
sekjal |
unless it's a VERY efficient cron |
| 15:31 |
|
wizzyrea |
could hourly have it's own minute - running cron? |
| 15:31 |
|
sekjal |
s/cron/script/ |
| 15:31 |
|
wizzyrea |
something that only looks at short-term loans |
| 15:32 |
|
libsysguy |
so the issue I see with minutely cron is that when a patron checks in and they are overdue there is still a possible 60s window for not fines being charged |
| 15:33 |
|
sekjal |
yes |
| 15:33 |
|
sekjal |
but that may be unavoidable |
| 15:33 |
|
sekjal |
and how much is a patron charged per second? |
| 15:33 |
|
libsysguy |
if they are overdue by a second its a 50 cent fine then its based on whatever interval |
| 15:34 |
|
|
sophie_m left #koha |

|
sekjal |
is it really worth it to be that draconian? |
| 15:34 |
|
libsysguy |
but I think the real issue that I have is a patron would have to stand at the circ desk for an additional (possible) minute to pay thier fine |
| 15:34 |
|
libsysguy |
to the librarians I work with...yes |
| 15:34 |
|
wizzyrea |
this is a people issue |
| 15:34 |
|
wizzyrea |
not a technology problem |
| 15:34 |
|
libsysguy |
^^ |
| 15:35 |
|
wizzyrea |
if they know that people are x minutes overdue |
| 15:35 |
|
wizzyrea |
or they are 30s late with their return |
| 15:35 |
|
wizzyrea |
they know they'r going to get a 50c fine |
| 15:35 |
|
wizzyrea |
why not take the money |
| 15:35 |
|
wizzyrea |
and apply it once the fine appears |
| 15:35 |
|
libsysguy |
sorry...I don't mean to sound so animated about this |
| 15:35 |
|
wizzyrea |
all good :) |
| 15:35 |
|
libsysguy |
I brought that up |
| 15:35 |
|
libsysguy |
but then they have to remember |
| 15:35 |
|
wizzyrea |
for a single minute :) |
| 15:35 |
|
libsysguy |
and when the line is long that could turn into 15 |
| 15:36 |
|
wizzyrea |
and in most cases lest |
| 15:36 |
|
wizzyrea |
less |
| 15:36 |
|
sekjal |
libsysguy: perhaps explaining to them how many hours it's going to take to fix this, and the hourly cost of development, and weigh that in terms of how much extra money they'll wind up bringing in with fines |
| 15:36 |
|

I mean, 50 cents per second is a pretty good hourly rate |

but what I am proposing is no change to the current cron system and one extra call in the checkin function |
| 15:37 |
|
wizzyrea |
well, 50 cents for the first second overdue |
| 15:37 |
|
* magnuse |
buts out agin |
| 15:37 |

magnuse is now known as magnus_afk |
| 15:37 |
|
wizzyrea |
then 50 cents per minute, right? |
| 15:38 |
|
wizzyrea |
basically, the fine is applied at the beginning of every minute, instead of the end |
| 15:38 |
|
sekjal |
libsysguy: so, keep the minutely cron, and also have a manual update call when the patron page loans? so those last-minute fines are guaranteed to show up? |
| 15:39 |

(I think) |

I think fines tab, because you have to go there to pay fines anyway |

details |
| 15:40 |
|
wizzyrea |
if they're trying to pay the fine they just got |
| 15:40 |
|
libsysguy |
or...acutally just on check in |
| 15:40 |
|
wizzyrea |
that's the only place to do it |
| 15:40 |
|
sekjal |
what about checkout? |
| 15:40 |
|
libsysguy |
why not just update when the barcode is scanned in |
| 15:40 |
|
sekjal |
what if that extra 50 cents just put them over the maximum limit, and they're now blocked? |
| 15:40 |
|
libsysguy |
what about checkout? |
| 15:41 |
|
libsysguy |
so they have an item that seconds before they checkout another item goes overdue |
| 15:41 |
|
libsysguy |
and a fine gets assessed |
| 15:42 |
|
* wizzyrea |
wonders idly how other ils's dealt with the problem |

i'll give it a minute then ask in #evergreen ;) |

wizzyrea: yep (actually, it has for a long time) |
| 15:49 |
|
wizzyrea |
gmcharlt, do you have a minute to enlighten us as to how it works? |
| 15:49 |
|
wizzyrea |
with minutely fines |
| 15:51 |
|
gmcharlt |
wizzyrea: basically, fines are calculated one of two ways -- via a cron job (for generating estimated fines) and upon checkin |
| 15:52 |
|
wizzyrea |
there you have it :) |
| 15:52 |
|
gmcharlt |
at the point of checkout, a loan in Evergreen records it's fining interval, which can be expressed as any valid interval |
| 15:52 |
|
libsysguy |
that is exactly what I was proposing I thought |
| 15:52 |
|
gmcharlt |
and that gets used when calculating the number of fine billings to add |
| 15:53 |

and that process is the same for every item? |
| 15:53 |
|
libsysguy |
btw sekjal...of you are interested in just how crazy the people I work with are just ask druthb lol |
| 15:53 |
|
wizzyrea |
not just hourlies, but regular checkins too |
| 15:54 |
|
wizzyrea |
libsysguy: I only have the requirement that it doesn't inordinately slow down checkin. |
| 15:54 |
|
wizzyrea |
the rest, idc about as much. |
| 15:55 |
|
sekjal |
wizzyrea: it would add whatever processing time it takes to run the fines update subroutine |
| 15:55 |
|
wizzyrea |
I do think that the fines tab on the patron detail is pointless |
| 15:55 |
|
sekjal |
so, as long as that's as efficient as possible.... |
| 15:55 |
|
wizzyrea |
checkouts and holds make sense to me :) |
| 15:55 |
|
wizzyrea |
but not the fines tab |
| 15:56 |
|
wizzyrea |
but that's kind of a separate issue |
| 15:56 |
|
wizzyrea |
thanks gmcharlt |

so basically don't add more than a second to checkin...got it :) |
| 15:57 |
|
wizzyrea |
yes, exactly. |
| 15:57 |
|
gmcharlt |
wizzyrea: sekjal: one thing about calculating fines on checkin -- that *is* something that's been the target of various performance tweaks over the years to avoid too much of a performance penalty when checking in an item that has been long overdue |
| 15:58 |
|
|
juan_sieira_ left #koha |
| 15:58 |
|
wizzyrea |
which is why I was wondering if a check to see if the fine *needed* to be calculated now (in the case of a per-minute loan, for example) might be faster than calculating for everything |
| 15:58 |
|
wizzyrea |
that crosses the scanner gun |
| 16:00 |
|
cait |
perhaps it could be an option? |
| 16:00 |
|
cait |
if we are going to keep the cron and other libraries are not so crazy about fines? |
| 16:01 |

fine calculation on checkin I mean |

cait: and possibly a session option - if you're checking in a bunch of items from the bookdrop, you don't necessarily need the fines to be calculated instantly |
| 16:02 |
|
libsysguy |
or you could do it on itemtype |
| 16:02 |
|
cait |
gmcharlt: makes sense! |
| 16:02 |
|
gmcharlt |
whereas if a patron is standing in front of you wondering if they're going to ahve to take out a second mortgage, enable on the spot calculation |
| 16:02 |
|
cait |
hehe |
| 16:02 |
|
gmcharlt |
of course, however it gets done, it does all need to be finsihed up before fine notices are sent out that day |
| 16:03 |
|
cait |
hm, but will the checkin fine not be harder to him then? |
| 16:03 |
|
cait |
because it will catch even a second more lateness? |
| 16:03 |
|
gmcharlt |
cait: the calculation would have to be based on the checkin timestamp, even if the calculation itself occurs later |
| 16:04 |

gmcharlt |
of course, somebody who drops an hourly loan into the book drop ... perhaps deserves what they get charged ;) |

that checked in items should not get fines |

nah, in the modules (in the koha sense, not the perl sense) |

|
Brooke |
nope. That'd get me in trouble with the little missus. |
| 18:11 |
|
slef |
the OO way is probably to replace the C4 class with something that extends it and adds the extra actions you want |
| 18:11 |
|
slef |
as well as a call back to the C4 class |
| 18:12 |
|
slef |
the bit I forget is how to make your extended class get called instead of the C4 base one |
| 18:12 |
|

the other way to do it is with hooks, like wordpress |

Topic for #koha is now What we want to cover this meeting |
| 18:25 |
|
slef |
so sekjal has pasted a link to something |
| 18:25 |
|
slef |
it's not loading for me... I'm just going to kick browser permissions to try to see it... |
| 18:25 |
|
libsysguy |
right the link to the collaboration document |
| 18:26 |
|
Brooke |
#link http://typewith.me/3gYf6ozqf4 |
| 18:26 |
|
cait |
I thought it was on the wiki too, but can't find it right now |
| 18:26 |
|
libsysguy |
it was there |
| 18:26 |
|
Brooke |
the wiki was revolting |
| 18:26 |
|
libsysguy |
but the other day I checked and it was gone |
| 18:26 |
|
Brooke |
it kept handling things like i was editing a template |
| 18:26 |
|
Brooke |
so chris moved stuff |
| 18:26 |
|
slef |
#link http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]Notifications_RFC |
| 18:27 |
|
Brooke |
but really, someone should fix the forkin wiki |
| 18:27 |
|
slef |
is what I saw |
| 18:27 |
|
cait |
that's the document that was started from the mailing list thread |
| 18:27 |
|
cait |
the typewithme is from our first meeting |
| 18:27 |
|
slef |
Brooke: I think I'm compelled to say about all mediawiki problems: I told you so. ;-) |
| 18:27 |
|
Brooke |
http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]aging_rewrite_RFC |
| 18:27 |
|
libsysguy |
so in this meeting we are supposed to start planning the steps right? |
| 18:28 |
|
slef |
that seems like a good idea |
| 18:28 |
|
sekjal |
I'm looking at data structure first |
| 18:28 |
|
libsysguy |
did you say you had that on a whiteboard sekjal? |
| 18:28 |
|
sekjal |
I'm drawing it on the one on my wall behind my desk |
| 18:29 |
|
libsysguy |
haha you need one of those smartboards |
| 18:29 |
|
cait |
hm |
| 18:29 |
|
sekjal |
yes |
| 18:29 |
|
cait |
make us a phoot? |
| 18:29 |
|
cait |
photo... |
| 18:29 |
|
slef |
http://imgur.com/ or similar? |
| 18:29 |
|
libsysguy |
because I am having trouble seeing the one on your desk |
| 18:29 |
|
cait |
I know what you mean,might need new glasses |
| 18:29 |
|
cait |
;) |
| 18:29 |
|
libsysguy |
or we could huddle in G+ and watch sekjal on his webcam |
| 18:29 |
|
sekjal |
I could turn on my webcam, but... then you'd see the rest of my horrible office |

magnus_away: we can seeeeee you |
| 18:32 |

So which came first? The Notifications RFC, then the Messaging_rewrite_RFC? |
| 18:32 |
|
libsysguy |
yes |
| 18:32 |
|
cait |
correct |
| 18:32 |
|
cait |
i think the second should have most points from the first |
| 18:32 |
|
* Brooke |
nods. |
| 18:33 |
|
Brooke |
I was gonna link them, and initially both were on the same page, but like I said, stuff got moved. |
| 18:33 |
|
sekjal |
okay, so we've got some key pieces of the puzzle to link together |
| 18:34 |

#topic Planning the steps to implement this |
| 18:34 |
|
|
Topic for #koha is now Planning the steps to implement this |
| 18:35 |
|
sekjal |
we've got the various kinds of messages we want to send (overdue, due, hold placed, claim, etc etc) |
| 18:35 |
|
sekjal |
and we want to be able to have different templates for those messages depending on several factors |
| 18:35 |
|
sekjal |
{itemtype, branchcode,patroncategory} |
| 18:36 |
|
sekjal |
messages can also be delivered in several ways: print, email, SMS, RSS, etc |
| 18:36 |
|
sekjal |
each deliver method can support 1 or more message formats |
| 18:36 |
|
cait |
to make it more complicated we might want to fall back from one to the other |
| 18:37 |
|
Brooke |
cait++ |
| 18:37 |
|
sekjal |
the formats so far are HTML, plaintext, RSS/XML, and short-message |
| 18:37 |
|
cait |
no mobile numbe > send email > no email > create print |
| 18:37 |
|
Brooke |
rank by patron preference, perhaps? |
| 18:38 |
|
sekjal |
we could save ourselves some complexity, and fuse message format with delivery method |
| 18:38 |
|
cait |
hm |
| 18:38 |
|
sekjal |
since RSS is always RSS/XML |
| 18:38 |
|
sekjal |
SMS is always shortmessage |
| 18:38 |
|
cait |
what about email? should be plan or html |
| 18:38 |
|
sekjal |
^^ |
| 18:39 |
|
sekjal |
same with print |
| 18:39 |
|
sekjal |
though I'd lean more on HTML for print |
| 18:39 |
|
cait |
def |
| 18:39 |
|
Brooke |
hmmm |
| 18:39 |
|
Brooke |
it'd have to print nicely |
| 18:39 |
|
cait |
but email makes sense in plain and html (although I always prefere plain) |
| 18:39 |
|
cait |
print should have options to add corporate design |
| 18:39 |
|
cait |
logos, footer, header |
| 18:39 |
|
* Brooke |
nods. |
| 18:39 |
|
cait |
so html is a good way to go for that |
| 18:39 |
|
sekjal |
do we think this is something people would want to decide on globally? |
| 18:40 |
|
Brooke |
no |
| 18:40 |
|
sekjal |
like, system preference level? |
| 18:40 |
|
Brooke |
I think this is a pizza topping |
| 18:40 |
|
cait |
decide about? |
| 18:40 |
|
sekjal |
all emails are plain, or all emails are HTML, per install? |
| 18:40 |
|
cait |
hm |
| 18:40 |
|
Brooke |
no |
| 18:40 |
|
Brooke |
not even that |
| 18:40 |
|
Brooke |
for my overdue notices |
| 18:40 |
|
Brooke |
I'd want plain |
| 18:40 |
|
Brooke |
for my flash fundraising stuff, might want html. |
| 18:40 |
|
cait |
Brooke: really not so sure about that |
| 18:40 |
|
Brooke |
although |
| 18:40 |
|
cait |
couldn't we make it an option in the notice templates? |
| 18:40 |
|
Brooke |
if we default to plain |
| 18:40 |
|
Brooke |
I can always be sneaky |
| 18:40 |
|
|
danmc left #koha |
| 18:40 |
|
Brooke |
and just link stuff. |
| 18:40 |
|
slef |
I think that's fine for an option, but it's plain at the mo, isn't it? |
| 18:41 |
|
cait |
like give it a subject, give it an email address to be sent from and check html or not? |
| 18:41 |
|
libsysguy |
from a design perspective whats the difference between html and plain |
| 18:41 |
|
Brooke |
for a test, we've to ensure that the email address in reply to is the right one in parameters. |
| 18:41 |

libsysguy: WYSIWYG editor |
| 18:42 |
|
slef |
Would someone go through http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]aging_rewrite_RFC and bold which ones already exist? I'm happy to take a first crack, but I'll probably miss some. |
| 18:42 |
|
cait |
slef: I had marked soem of them with a * |
| 18:42 |
|
libsysguy |
why not enable the wysiwyg editor by default...if its plain text just render it as such? |
| 18:42 |
|
libsysguy |
maybe im just being naive about it |
| 18:43 |
|
Brooke |
the new ones are * on the initial document |
| 18:43 |
|
cait |
libsysguy: you can't do bold and such tihngs in plain, might get confusing |
| 18:43 |
|
slef |
libsysguy: people screw up and use only colour or styling to indicate things. |
| 18:43 |
|

Oak joined #koha |
| 18:43 |
|
cait |
yep |
| 18:43 |
|
cait |
hi Oak |
| 18:43 |
|
cait |
but why not have a flag on the notice to indicate? |
| 18:43 |
|
cait |
the format? |
| 18:43 |
|
slef |
libsysguy: which they shouldn't, because that's bad for accessibility too (red-green colour-blind for example) |
| 18:43 |
|
Oak |
hello cait |
| 18:43 |
|
Oak |
hello #koha |
| 18:43 |
|
libsysguy |
gotcha |
| 18:43 |
|
slef |
cait / Brooke: so are * the new ones or the current ones? |
| 18:43 |
|
cait |
see my note below ;) |
| 18:44 |
|
Brooke |
line 50 says new |
| 18:44 |
|
sekjal |
if we're including a flag or an option, we're losing any benefits of merging format and delivery method |
| 18:44 |
|
sekjal |
unless |
| 18:44 |
|
cait |
new |
| 18:44 |
|
sekjal |
we have two email delivery methods: plain, and HTML |
| 18:44 |
|
Oak |
loud hello to Brooke |
| 18:44 |
|
slef |
hi Oak. Welcome to the meeting. #info if you want to be noted in the minutes. |
| 18:44 |
|
* Brooke |
hugs Oak. |
| 18:44 |
|
Oak |
oops |
| 18:44 |
|
Oak |
it's a meeting. will shut up now |
| 18:44 |
|
cait |
sekjal: hm, is this so bad? |
| 18:44 |
|
slef |
it's a chaos |
| 18:45 |
|
cait |
having html and plain mail? |
| 18:45 |
|
slef |
Brooke: ok, I see that line now. That wasn't clear to me on first reading. |
| 18:45 |
|
sekjal |
so, when in the notices editor creating a new notice: |
| 18:46 |
|
sekjal |
you'd have the options for format: "email-plain, email-HTML, print (HTML), SMS, RSS" |
| 18:46 |
|
sekjal |
choice of format would inform the editor on any restrictions/tools to include |
| 18:47 |
|
Brooke |
*nod* and theoretically call the printer on the carpet. |
| 18:48 |
|
slef |
So am I right in thinking the later sections don't have *s? |
| 18:48 |
|
slef |
OK with everyone if I take a run through those? |
| 18:48 |
|
cait |
slef: correct |
| 18:48 |
|
Brooke |
please do, and double check the wiki I know I edited some out accidentally. |
| 18:48 |
|
cait |
we didn't get far tidying it up |
| 18:48 |
|
cait |
I will mark them now for oyu |
| 18:49 |
|
sekjal |
okay: so message templates would have major characteristics: itemtype, branchcode, patron category, format |
| 18:49 |
|
sekjal |
oh, and type |
| 18:49 |
|
libsysguy |
yes ^^ |
| 18:50 |
|
cait |
hm |
| 18:50 |
|
cait |
i was thinking |
| 18:50 |
|
cait |
have the rules apart |
| 18:50 |
|
cait |
from the templates |
| 18:50 |
|
* Brooke |
nods. |
| 18:50 |
|
cait |
so you can reuse a template |
| 18:50 |
|
cait |
for different combinatons |
| 18:51 |
|
sekjal |
good point |
| 18:51 |
|
cait |
like have one overdue to sent to all borrowers, but different overdues for professors and students |
| 18:51 |
|
libsysguy |
so like the circ rules |
| 18:51 |
|
cait |
keep template characteristics specific to the text |
| 18:52 |
|
cait |
libsysguy: similar, yes, but perhaps with a nicer gui :) |
| 18:52 |
|
sekjal |
so just format and type |
| 18:52 |
|
sekjal |
makes sense |
| 18:52 |
|
Brooke |
nicer guis++ |
| 18:52 |
|
sekjal |
use rules elsewhere |
| 18:52 |
|
libsysguy |
aww I wanted all text everyhing :'( |
| 18:52 |
|
cait |
sekjal: perhaps even a code for the hardcoded things? like module now |
| 18:52 |
|
cait |
oh |
| 18:52 |
|
libsysguy |
jk |
| 18:53 |
|
cait |
if we put how something is triggered into the rules |
| 18:53 |
|
cait |
how do we indicate which placeholders can be used in a template? |
| 18:53 |
|
sekjal |
that would be a function of "type" |
| 18:53 |
|
slef |
OK, I've tried to update http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]_8_September_2011 and put *s on new types and formats. Did I get it right? |
| 18:53 |
|
sekjal |
all Overdues would have access to the same variables |
| 18:54 |
|
cait |
slef: we could use the typewithme and put that on the wiki later? |
| 18:54 |
|
Brooke |
it's on the thinger |
| 18:54 |
|
cait |
slef: sms is possible already |
| 18:55 |
|
slef |
cait: oh yeah. I thought I deleted that |
| 18:55 |
|
slef |
cait: :( typewithme eats my battery. |
| 18:55 |
|
cait |
ok |
| 18:55 |
|
slef |
cait: you remove or shall I? |
| 18:55 |
|
cait |
can you? |
| 18:55 |
|
slef |
removing |
| 18:55 |
|
cait |
thx |
| 18:55 |
|
slef |
done |
| 18:56 |
|
cait |
ok |
| 18:56 |
|
cait |
so type format |
| 18:56 |
|
sekjal |
so, right now, when creating a new message, you specific what Module it's in |
| 18:56 |
|
cait |
where format also indicates the delivery type |
| 18:56 |
|
cait |
hm |
| 18:56 |
|
sekjal |
and that gives you access to various tables |
| 18:56 |
|
sekjal |
what about |
| 18:56 |
|
sekjal |
instead |
| 18:57 |
|
sekjal |
you specify an SQL query to per message type to get you the variables you want? |
| 18:57 |
|
sekjal |
and that SQL lived in a Report |
| 18:57 |
|
* Brooke |
pukes. |
| 18:58 |
|
Brooke |
that's okay for advanced users |
| 18:58 |
|
|
paul_p joined #koha |
| 18:58 |
|
Brooke |
but is incredibly hostile for other types, if I'm grokin' ye |
| 18:58 |
|
slef |
sekjal: how would the SQL query work? Wouldn't that need its own placeholders, which would vary by which module it's in, or at least which type of object it's working on? |
| 18:59 |
|
sekjal |
Brooke: we'd include default reports that include all the tokens we include now |
| 18:59 |
|
cait |
some kind of primary key , yes |
| 18:59 |
|
Brooke |
default features++ |
| 18:59 |
|
cait |
sekjal: I kind of like the idea to make it more flexible |
| 18:59 |
|
cait |
for example fines |
| 18:59 |
|
cait |
i could make it sum things |
| 18:59 |
|
sekjal |
slef: the template would be called with whatever key parameters make sense in it's context |
| 19:00 |
|
cait |
using sql functions,not dpeenidng on the system to do it the way I want it too |
| 19:00 |
|
cait |
to |
| 19:00 |
|
cait |
but it would need a way to make clear which pk is to be used... |
| 19:00 |
|
slef |
I think this is another enhancement for later? |
| 19:00 |
|
cait |
pehaps a phase 2 thing yes... |
| 19:00 |
|
cait |
but still something I would really love to see |
| 19:00 |
|
Brooke |
a lot of this is enhancement and phased |
| 19:01 |
|
Brooke |
I think it's important to honour what we want while we move on the stuff y'all need NAO |
| 19:01 |
|
slef |
sekjal: do you think this would still work if we move to DBIx or whatever it's called? |
| 19:01 |
|
cait |
ok |
| 19:01 |
|
cait |
so we have a desired structure for templates now |
| 19:01 |
|
sekjal |
slef: I don't know |
| 19:01 |
|
cait |
that will kill a lot of the tables in there right now |
| 19:01 |
|
cait |
because koha has already very complicated structures in place for delivery types and messaging |
| 19:01 |
|
slef |
oh yeah, it's worth mentioning... just I've 1001 questions on it which probably don't need asking just now |
| 19:02 |
|
slef |
So what are the phases? Is that written anywhere yet? |
| 19:02 |
|
cait |
no |
| 19:02 |
|
cait |
not yet |
| 19:02 |
|
cait |
I think talking about structures is first |
| 19:02 |
|
cait |
and then making small sets to be developed as patches? |
| 19:03 |
|
cait |
and be aware of what we want it to do late to not make it hard to enhance |
| 19:03 |
|
* Brooke |
nods. |
| 19:03 |
|
slef |
sure |
| 19:03 |
|
sekjal |
I doubt we'll come out of this meeting with a complete roadmap, but a few steps closer is acceptable to me |
| 19:04 |
|
sekjal |
is it acceptable to say |
| 19:04 |
|
sekjal |
that |
| 19:04 |
|
* cait |
nods |
| 19:04 |
|
slef |
We've also a structure for how we get what to put into the templates. So any other structures we need? |
| 19:04 |
|
sekjal |
each message type should pull in a specific set of usable variables? |
| 19:05 |
|
cait |
yes |
| 19:05 |
|
cait |
and consistent this time plz |
| 19:05 |
|
cait |
from the beginning |
| 19:05 |
|
sekjal |
phrase another way: does it make sense to have message type and 'module' as separate things? |
| 19:06 |
|
cait |
hm |
| 19:06 |
|
cait |
perhaps not |
| 19:06 |
|
cait |
as long as message type is not unique |
| 19:06 |
|
slef |
Why not? |
| 19:06 |
|
cait |
why not unique? |
| 19:06 |
|
slef |
why no sense? |
| 19:06 |
|
cait |
oh |
| 19:06 |
|
cait |
perhaps not necessary |
| 19:06 |
|
sekjal |
can an overdue notice be anything but a Circulation module notice? |
| 19:06 |
|
|
paul_p left #koha |
| 19:06 |
|
cait |
but might make it easier to organize |
| 19:07 |
|
cait |
or prone to false inputs |
| 19:07 |
|
slef |
sekjal: it could be an email scheduled, or a screen notice triggered on checkout and checkin, couldn't it? |
| 19:08 |
|
sekjal |
slef: I mean, in the Notices editor, there is a dropdown to select Module |
| 19:08 |
|
sekjal |
and that's what determines what tokens/variables/database fields you can put into the template |
| 19:08 |
|
cait |
but type would already indicate the module |
| 19:08 |
|
cait |
and choose the fields |
| 19:09 |
|
slef |
I thought type was delivery type? |
| 19:09 |
|
Brooke |
do we want a preview box someplace so we can see what all will be pulled? |
| 19:09 |
|
slef |
let's keep the jargon straight please people! ;-) |
| 19:09 |
|
sekjal |
sorry, slef |
| 19:09 |
|
sekjal |
message templates |
| 19:09 |
|
sekjal |
have message types (overdue, checkin, predue, holds place, etc) |
| 19:10 |
|
* slef |
has gin now (it's 8pm here), so may be more easily confused than usual. |
| 19:10 |
|
cait |
Brooke: you can't preview without giving it a borrower or something - I think it's not really necessary |
| 19:10 |
|
sekjal |
and formats (email-plain, email-HTML, print, SMS, etc) |
| 19:10 |
|
slef |
sekjal: those seem to be called messages in the new RFC. |
| 19:11 |
|
sekjal |
yeah, that's how we originally labeled them last meeting |
| 19:11 |
|
sekjal |
message type informs the available database fields for the message template |
| 19:12 |
|
sekjal |
every overdue notice will have access to the same fields |
| 19:12 |
|
slef |
please stop using type or I'll get confused again... so the question is: can the same message appear in multiple modules? |
| 19:12 |
|
sekjal |
I'm proposing getting rid of modules |
| 19:12 |
|
cait |
slef: for the messages we have spoken about - I think no |
| 19:13 |
|
slef |
By the looks of the design, I think it makes sense to relegate them to headings in the messages list. |
| 19:13 |
|
cait |
so voting to go for the simpler version now |
| 19:13 |
|
cait |
no modules |
| 19:13 |
|
* slef |
just checks the current source |
| 19:13 |
|
cait |
sekjal: the table will also need subject and perhaps description |
| 19:13 |
|
sekjal |
cait: yes |
| 19:13 |
|
cait |
and a pk |
| 19:13 |
|
cait |
of course |
| 19:13 |
|
cait |
or? |
| 19:14 |
|
sekjal |
those are free text and 3NF design bits, respectively |
| 19:14 |
|
sekjal |
very necessary |
| 19:14 |
|
cait |
ok |
| 19:14 |
|
cait |
so we have that mapped out now |
| 19:14 |
|
cait |
now, we will have things where triggers are hardcoded |
| 19:14 |
|
cait |
like for holds |
| 19:14 |
|
cait |
but we need other things with more options |
| 19:14 |
|
cait |
like overdues |
| 19:15 |
|
cait |
or predues |
| 19:15 |
|
sekjal |
right, we've got two kinds of message triggers |
| 19:15 |
|
cait |
can we get that into 1 additional table? or do we need another structure? |
| 19:15 |
|
sekjal |
event-based (checkin, checkout, hold placed, hold confirmed, etc) |
| 19:15 |
|
sekjal |
and scheduled |
| 19:15 |
|
cait |
overdues - event or scheduled? |
| 19:15 |
|
|
paul_p joined #koha |
| 19:15 |
|
cait |
the event is book gets overdue - but it's more a time based thing probably |
| 19:15 |
|
Brooke |
both |
| 19:15 |
|
Brooke |
which is tricky |
| 19:16 |
|
sekjal |
scheduled at this point |
| 19:16 |
|
cait |
ok |
| 19:16 |
|
Brooke |
should be pre overdue triggers notice |
| 19:16 |
|
Brooke |
actual overdue triggers a notice |
| 19:16 |
|
Brooke |
end of month accounting might nag yet again. |
| 19:16 |
|
sekjal |
the trigger is "our cronjob ran to see what's overdue, and here're the messages" |
| 19:16 |
|
Brooke |
then > collection over X $ |
| 19:16 |
|
slef |
could scheduled be just events (queuerun,hourly,dayhour,nighthour,...)? |
| 19:17 |
|
sekjal |
slef: yes |
| 19:17 |
|
sekjal |
we'd just need some thing to cause those events (cron, daemon, etc) |
| 19:17 |
|
libsysguy |
sorry guys for going silent |
| 19:17 |
|
libsysguy |
i had to take care of something |
| 19:18 |
|
sekjal |
this is much like the fines discussion earlier today, actually |
| 19:18 |
|
sekjal |
much like it |
| 19:18 |
|
libsysguy |
uh oh |
| 19:18 |
|
slef |
I think book dueness events are just strange events, triggered by another event (a search triggered by the queuerun or daily event which looks for books going that much due) |
| 19:18 |
|
libsysguy |
looks like i came back just in time |
| 19:19 |

slef: well.... yeah |
| 19:19 |
|
sekjal |
in a way |
| 19:19 |
|
cait |
ok |
| 19:19 |
|
cait |
only wanted to get that sorted in :) |
| 19:19 |
|
cait |
I think this is good so far |
| 19:20 |
|
cait |
sekjal: do you have a structure in mind for the triggers? |
| 19:20 |
|
cait |
the scheduled triggers (I should clarify this) |
| 19:20 |
|
sekjal |
well, scheduled or event based should probably both call the same subroutine to populate the message template with real data |
| 19:21 |
|
sekjal |
that means a) choosing the right template, based on our rules |
| 19:21 |
|
sekjal |
b) passing the appropriate primary keys for the contextually-correct objects |
| 19:21 |
|
Brooke |
is there summat clever y'all can do to prevent someone from being sent a message too often within a certain timeframe? Like an array that checks v chron or summat? |
| 19:21 |
|
sekjal |
c) adding the completed notice to the message_queue |
| 19:22 |
|
slef |
event_id int, event varchar(16), function text, template_id int references templates.template_id |
| 19:22 |
|
slef |
I'm sure that's a security disaster waiting to happen. |
| 19:23 |
|
slef |
at very least, function would need whitelisting |
| 19:23 |
|
sekjal |
right now, steps a), b) and possibly c) are done each time a message event happens |
| 19:23 |

I found a different one in the cupboard. All is well |
| 19:27 |
|
slef |
sekjal: by having the event say what function fuels it. See above. Maybe add a column for report_id if you want to use the reports table? |
| 19:28 |
|
sekjal |
slef: ah, I'm seeing it, now |
| 19:28 |

took a second |

Brooke: if the outgoing messages are being logged in koha, a sending action could check the log to make sure it isn't sending too often. |

can and is laughing. Is that wrong? |
| 19:30 |
|
sekjal |
well, choosing which message template to retrieve doesn't involve passing keys |
| 19:30 |
|
sekjal |
need itemtype/patroncategory/branchcode (maybe) |
| 19:30 |
|
cait |
hmm |
| 19:31 |
|
sekjal |
and message type, of course |
| 19:31 |
|
sekjal |
and message format, taken from patron preferences |
| 19:31 |
|
cait |
but that also would make a lot of repeated entries |
| 19:31 |
|

when setting up things i mean |
| 19:31 |

#idea instead of functions in the database table, why not functions directly in the event itself? |
| 19:40 |
|
slef |
because then how do you replace events? |
| 19:41 |
|
|
juan_sieira joined #koha |
| 19:41 |
|
sekjal |
when an item is checked in, the CHECKIN event occurs, and SendCheckinNotice($itemnumber) is called |
| 19:41 |
|
slef |
#idea something like eventid int, event varchar(16), function text, template_id int references templates.templateid, report_id references reports.reportid |
| 19:42 |
|
slef |
yeah but what SendCheckinNotice? C4::SendCheckinNotice or LocalLibrary::SendCheckinNotice? |

| 19:43 |

the one defined in our table weith borrowercategory library and itemtype? |
| 19:43 |
|
|
juan_sieira_ left #koha |
| 19:44 |
|
slef |
sekjal: so what would I do to get LocalLibrary::Notices::SendCheckinNotice run instead? |
| 19:44 |
|
sekjal |
slef: why would you want to? |
| 19:45 |
|
slef |
sekjal: because Koha::Notices::SendCheckinNotice doesn't check the message log before deciding whether to send a notice. |
| 19:45 |
|
slef |
(for example) |
| 19:45 |
|
sekjal |
then write a patch to fix it so it does... (optionally controlled by a syspref) |
| 19:45 |
|
sekjal |
sorry, I think my head is getting all fuzzy |
