00:02 eythian @later tell NateC we had Abrakebabra for lunch. Just sayin'

01:21 wajasu my master git pull, dev install, has koha-httpd.conf  with   ScriptAlias /search "/home/koha344/prj/kohaclone/opac/opac-search.pl"  in the opac section.  but what should it be for the Intranet section.  "/home/koha344/prj/kohaclone/search.pl"  or maybe "/home/koha344/prj/kohaclone/catalogue/search.pl"  (the 1st isnt there). or am i misconfigured.
01:22 wajasu i was comparin my 3.4.4 install to the master dev install.
01:29 wajasu and what should mt ScriptAlias be for /cgi-bin/koha/ in my intranet section?
01:30 jcamins_away wajasu: what's wrong with the koha-httpd.conf that comes with Koha?
01:31 jcamins_away It seems to me using the supplied one would be a lot easier and a lot less error-prone.
01:34 wajasu i don't have the a2enmod, a2ensite apache tools (archlinux apache httpd server).  so i always have to teak my own.  i really have to add <Directory "/home/koha344/prj/kohaclone ... ">   direftive the file to get access, since everything is denied by default.
01:35 jcamins_away wajasu: couldn't you just do the traditional ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/koha /etc/apache2/sites-enabled ?
01:35 Soupermanito left #koha
01:35 sijobl left #koha
01:37 wajasu but when i was inspecting the ScriptAlias entries, i saw the intranet Virtualhost  had ScriptAlias /search "/home/koha344/prj/kohaclone/search.pl"  for my dev install.  i'm trying to do a patch tonight.   and archlinnux doesn't have /etc/apache2...
01:38 jcamins_away You must have Apache configuration files somewhere...
01:39 wajasu i have /etc/httpd/conf/...  but no sites-available or sites-enabled.
01:39 jcamins_away Okay, just stick it in /etc/httpd/conf.
01:40 wajasu i linked that up fine.( ln -s).
01:40 jcamins_away Then enable mod_rewrite and you should be good to go.
01:40 wajasu what i an saying is:  do you have /search working for intranet at :8080?
01:40 jcamins_away Ah.
01:40 jcamins_away Probably not.
01:41 eythian No, I don't think that's required
01:41 jcamins_away Nope.
01:41 jcamins_away eythian: mod_rewrite isn't required?
01:41 jcamins_away The instructions say to enable it.
01:41 jcamins_away wajasu: that is, no, /search doesn't do anything.
01:41 eythian rewrite is different
01:42 eythian the /search thing isn't required
01:42 jcamins_away Oh. Gotcha.
01:42 * jcamins_away is a bit tired.
01:42 eythian although I note it is set up for the staff client
01:42 wajasu its an old vestigal organ from days gone by.
01:42 eythian ScriptAlias /search "/usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/search.pl"
01:42 eythian it allows things like: RewriteRule ^/isbn/([^\/]*)/?$ /search?q=isbn:$1 [PT]
01:44 wajasu ScriptAlias /search "/home/koha344/prj/kohaclone/search.pl"   is what my dev install (master pull) has.  which points to nothing, unless a rewrite handle that.
01:45 eythian ls: cannot access /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/search.pl: No such file or directory
01:45 eythian same here
01:45 eythian I suspect it's been long broken
01:45 eythian and no one has ever tried to use it
01:45 wajasu thats what i am saying!
01:46 jcamins_away wajasu: sorry, I thought you were trying to write your own Apache config.
01:46 eythian So I think you'd be fine not setting it at all.
01:46 wajasu i'm about to run my master git pull, which will update, and was wiring up things and saw the discrepency.
01:46 eythian oh, me too
01:46 wajasu sorry. i just noticed it changed since 3.4.4
01:50 wajasu i also notice when i do a single or a dev install, my zebra-biblios.cfg, zebra-authorites.cfg and zebra-authorities-dom.cfg don't change the ModulesPath with my prefix.  Is that OK. Probably typical.  I change them to  /home/koha344/usr/lib/idzebra-2.0/modules.  I wish they got the /home/koha344 prefix put before /usr/lib/idzebra-2.0/modules lke everywhere else in the .cfg
01:50 rangi hmm that line is there in the 3.4.4 as well, in etc/koha-httpd.conf
01:51 eythian wajasu: the modules are defined by where you install zebra to, right?
01:51 eythian so how could the koha installer change them?
01:51 wajasu true
01:51 eythian If I do a dev install, my modules are still in /usr/lib/...
01:53 eythian it should really be defined by something in /etc that can be overridden on a case-by-case basis
01:55 wajasu it could only handle that if we put another question in the installer, or assume if i have a different prefix, that it would be consistent.
01:55 eythian everyone has a different prefix for dev installs
01:56 wajasu maybe another question in the installer for single and dev installs.
01:56 eythian or just install your zebra into the system location and have it not be a problem :)
01:56 wajasu true.
01:57 jcamins_away @later tell nengard This may sound kind of obvious, but a video on how to change your own password in Koha might not be a bad idea.
01:57 huginn jcamins_away: The operation succeeded.
01:59 wajasu if my DocumentRoot for opac is /home/koha344/prj/kohaclone/koha-tmpl   will that give them access to intranet-tmpl too?  I'll try.
02:02 eythian they don't run the files in -tmpl.
02:02 wajasu oh i see
02:02 wajasu its the cgi-bin stuff that matters
02:02 eythian yeah
02:04 wajasu so the cgi-bin for the intranet is?  .../kohaclone?
02:05 wajasu i get that the opac is .../kohaclone/opac
02:06 Irma left #koha
02:09 eythian left #koha
02:09 eythian joined #koha
02:33 wajasu trying to access the staff client, but get  Software error: Can't locate DBI.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /home/koha344/prj/kohaclone /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/share/perl5/site_perl   ...
02:34 jcamins_away Sounds like you're missing some Perl modules.
02:34 * eythian still thinks that running Debian would make life so much easier than Arch ;)
02:35 wajasu its the same user account as my 3.4.4 install, with its ~/.cpan that perlbrew populated.  I have none missing, when i run koha_perl_deps.pl
02:35 jcamins_away Heh.
02:35 * jcamins_away agrees.
02:35 jcamins_away In that case, sounds like you need to add something to PERL5LIB.
02:36 jcamins_away No idea what.
02:36 wajasu maybe the PERL5LIB in koha_httpd.conf
02:36 jcamins_away Just speculating.
02:36 jcamins_away Yeah, that was my thought.
02:36 wajasu can i add multiple paths to that
02:36 jcamins_away I don't know.
02:36 jcamins_away Probably?
02:36 wahanui Probably is mate, Im not running the latest version on here.
02:37 eythian yes
02:37 wajasu i'll try to add my perlbrew based cpan
02:37 * eythian pats apt-get on the head. It's a good puppy.
02:38 wajasu and include the current one so i can get kohaclone/C4

02:41 * jcamins_away waves to sekjal.
02:42 sekjal hi, jcamins_away
02:44 jcamins_away Has anyone ever done an online survey for evaluating Koha?
02:45 jcamins_away Like, some sort of usability evaluation type thing.
02:50 * jcamins_away leaves everyone to ponder that thought, and goes to get some sleep.
02:50 jcamins_away Good night, #koha

13:36 oleonard KOCT works in FF3.6, but it's really annoying that it doesn't save the patron barcode between transactions
13:37 maximep oleonard: thanks for the follow-up patch in bug 6945 =)

13:47 kf maximep: was happy to see the budget duplicate feature!
13:47 kf hope to find time testing it
13:47 kf lots of libraries have asked me about a feature like that when I was presenting acq
13:47 maximep cool! :D
13:48 paul_p oleonard, what do you mean by doesn't appear to work ?
13:49 oleonard When I enter a patron card and item barcode and click "save" nothing happens.
13:49 oleonard No message that anything has been added, nothing in the log
13:49 paul_p mmm... strange works for me (just checked)
13:50 paul_p I get the "1 row added", "2 rows added" ...
13:50 oleonard Really? I'll have to check again. It may be a compatibility issue with one of my other addons.
13:50 paul_p or mac ?
13:50 * oleonard has a password-manager addon that causes all kinds of trouble
13:53 jcamins_away is now known as jcamins
13:53 jcamins Good morning, #koha
13:57 rhcl_lita jcamins
14:01 jcamins rhcl_lita: how's LITA?
14:01 jcamins (I gather that's where you are?)
14:11 rhcl_lita yep, at the preconference.  Session discussing cloud (Amazon AWS mostly), workshop on setting up instances and managing machines
14:11 rhcl_lita discussion of vufind DSpace, etc
14:11 jcamins AWS is pretty nifty. Learning anything useful?
14:12 rhcl_lita Yep, I have been intending to setup something on Amazon for a while, and just haven't gotten around to it, but this session is encouraging me to do something.
14:14 jcamins rhcl_lita: one of the features that I find really intriguing is RDS. Seems like a great way to manage a database.
14:14 rhcl_lita Presenter just talked about that--does sound good
14:16 jcamins Also nifty is the fact that they now offer a memcached server.
14:17 rhcl_lita jineshvaria.s3.amazonaws.com/publ​ic/cloudbestpractices-jvaria.pdf
14:21 jcamins They're up to Firefox 7? That was fast.
14:21 wizzyrea ^^ this makes me annoyed.
14:21 * oleonard too
14:23 trea pushing minor revisions into a product, and giving said product a whole new version number is no bueno.
14:24 oleonard Reminds me of something, it does.
14:35 nengard can someone tell me the values that can be found in constrainttype in the reserves table and what they mean?
14:35 * wizzyrea wishes the kiwis were up, I have a packaging question
14:36 wizzyrea nengard, sec
14:37 jcamins wizzyrea: a packaging question? I always find that asking my packaging question of the channel at large is a sure-fire way to realize my question had an obvious answer. ;)
14:37 wizzyrea more to do with building packages
14:38 maximep well firefox7 has big memory usage improvements. I don't even remember if ff6 had anything new :S
14:38 wizzyrea recent benchmarks say that 7 is faster than chrome
14:38 wizzyrea which would be great, because JEBUS firefox was a dog for a while
14:39 rhcl_lita any lightning comments on vufind?
14:39 wizzyrea an old dog. That couldn't see.
14:39 jcamins wizzyrea: yeah, those are the questions that I always find the answer to immediately after revealing my ignorance.
14:40 maximep firefox is so much better for my use case of opening hundreds of tabs in tab groups. Chrome couldn't do that
14:40 wizzyrea speak to me of this "tab groups" feature
14:40 * wizzyrea is also a zillions of tabs type
14:40 jcamins maximep: that sounds like something wizzyrea could use.
14:40 sekjal can anyone here change the maximum attachment size in bugs.k-c.org?
14:40 wizzyrea ^^ see, they know me ;)
14:40 wizzyrea gmcharlt might be able to
14:40 wizzyrea ping gmcharlt
14:41 maximep for every projct I work on I create a new tab group. This way it's all organized and doesn't need to open all the tabs every time
14:41 jcamins Grr. I can't find this book.
14:41 sekjal I want to attach an example for bug 6789 to make it easier to test, but the test by it's nature requires a file larger than the current 1000KB limit
14:41 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6789 minor, P5, ---, ian.walls, ASSIGNED , Biblios with many items can result in broken search results links
14:41 maximep ctrl+shift+e is bery useful =)
14:42 wizzyrea this seems compelling.
14:42 wizzyrea sekjal - you could (temporarily) host it elsewhere and post a link?
14:42 wizzyrea not optimal, but doable
14:43 rhcl_lita @seen paul_p
14:43 huginn rhcl_lita: paul_p was last seen in #koha 52 minutes and 31 seconds ago: <paul_p> or mac ?
14:43 wizzyrea nengard the only constrainttype I'm seeing is 'a'
14:43 paul_p rhcl_lita, you need me ?
14:43 wizzyrea and as to what that means... good question
14:44 rhcl_lita do you have any libraries running vufind (realizing you are a Solr promoter)?  A Bangladesh library is the only one listed running Koha and VUfind.
14:44 rhcl_lita http://vufind.org/wiki/installation_status
14:45 jcamins wizzyrea: by the way, what was your packaging question. I probably won't know the answer, but it's possible.
14:46 paul_p rhcl_lita, nope, we don't have anyone running vufind
14:46 nengard wizzyrea me too
14:46 nengard do we know what 'a' is?
14:47 nengard jcamins video idea added to my listr
14:47 nengard list
14:47 * oleonard gives these tab groups things a try
14:47 sekjal wizzyrea:  done, added link on bug report back to ByWater site
14:49 wizzyrea sekjal: it at least lets you get the work done :)
14:51 nengard in the same table (reserves) any idea what goes in notificationdate and reminderdate? it's not when a notice is sent ? cause i just tried that
14:52 oleonard I don't think those are used nengard

14:54 nengard and finally in that table ? lowestPriority appears to always be 0
14:54 nengard any idea what it's used for?
14:54 oleonard Is it for when you "pin" someone at the bottom of the holds list?
14:55 nengard then wouldn't their priority number show that?
14:55 nengard let me try
14:56 nengard oleonard i'm not sure pinning even works
14:56 nengard fyi
14:57 wizzyrea certainly the buttons were messed up
14:57 wizzyrea eythian was supposed to be coming up for a fix for it... I can't remember if that got in
14:57 * wizzyrea checks
14:57 nengard the buttons move the person to the bottom but if i add someone else that new person goes below them
14:58 nengard pinning sounds like the bottom person shoould stay at the bottom
14:58 nengard anyway that field never changes in the db
14:58 nengard it's always 0 for me
14:58 nengard phone call time

15:10 wizzyrea oh there we go
15:10 wizzyrea at least he said goodbye that time.
15:10 wizzyrea :)
15:12 kf nengard: I think priority number would now show because it should always resort them to be the last - so changing numbers

15:22 rhcl_lita hi hi
15:23 Oak :) :)
15:24 slef oh wow. Is my nick feminine, masculine, or neutral?
15:24 Oak neutral I think
15:24 slef I didn't pick it. I never even considered this before.
15:24 kf I know the problem
15:25 wizzyrea neutral, in both cases.
15:25 wizzyrea :P
15:25 slef ok, I've put that in

15:26 Oak Olga
15:26 wizzyrea Olivia
15:26 slef Odd-job
15:26 wizzyrea Octavia
15:26 slef this is always one of two problems I have with gender/participation surveys... I don't really pay much attention to it
15:26 * jcamins considers his neutral. He could be "Joan Camins." Actually, he keeps on getting e-mails for her.
15:27 slef jcamins: I keep getting emails for a school near London.
15:27 rhcl_lita I think slef is masculine - sounds like a Scandinavian mythical character
15:27 oleonard Oh yeah, I've gotten emails for Orla Leonard
15:28 oleonard In particular because she puts in my email address when trying to reset her passwords
15:28 kf marc makes my brain hurt :(
15:28 jcamins That is not a name I've heard before.
15:28 slef rhcl_lita: actually, if you want to look at Scandinavians, SLEF is the Swedish Lutheran Evangelical Foundation; and I believe it's a word in Icelandic
15:28 jcamins kf: as it does to everyone's brain. :(
15:29 slef jcamins: there's a BBC reporter called Orla Guerin... was in the middle East last I remember
15:30 kf yeah, but it doesn't help when 3 different fields from union catalog end up in the same marc field :(
15:30 oleonard Uh oh, Orla hasn't updated her Twitter since August. Maybe because she can't reset her password?
15:30 kf @marc 581
15:30 huginn kf: A citation to or information about a publication that is a study or analysis of the described materials. (Repeatable) [a,z,3,6,8]
15:31 kf jcamins: can you shorten that to a label for me? plz? :)
15:32 kf jcamins: never mind, I think I found something
15:33 jcamins kf: I'd have to think about that a bit.
15:34 matts is now known as matts_away
15:34 kf it's ok :)
15:34 kf no reason to make your brain hurt - I will ask the library what they want
15:34 jcamins :)
15:34 wizzyrea she sends them to your acpl email?
15:34 wizzyrea or your gmail
15:37 oleonard gmail
15:37 slef kf, jcamins: http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd5xx.html calls it "Publications About Described Materials Note" - not sure what copyright licence that's under, though.
15:37 jcamins slef: I think the problem is that it needs a _short_ label.
15:38 slef like how short?
15:38 slef Materials Publications Note?
15:38 * oleonard thinks we need a Tags component for Bugzilla
15:38 slef trouble is you lose meaning all the while
15:39 jcamins slef: yeah, that's the problem.
15:39 jcamins But I think that's the length kf was looking for.

15:47 rhcl_lita re: VUFind I love the 'text this' option in the catalog.
15:47 rhcl_lita It saves paper, I don't have to find the scrap of paper I wrote on, and I don't have to wonder if I transposed the call number.
15:48 rhcl_lita Wonder what that would cost for Koha?
15:49 jcamins rhcl_lita: talk to sekjal about it. He was working on it.
15:50 sekjal rhcl_lita:  we're looking at an SMS::Send::Driver-less way of doing SMS in Koha
15:51 sekjal don't have the estimate yet; it would likely involve us tracking the patron's cell provider
15:51 wizzyrea what i'm wondering
15:51 wizzyrea is why don't we use email
15:51 * oleonard thinks the scrap of paper would be cheaper, but he doesn't have a texting plan
15:51 wizzyrea to email sms's to phones
15:51 rhcl_lita why would you have to track the cell provider? Just have a pull down list and let the patron enter the cell phone number
15:51 wizzyrea put the info in the subject, done.
15:52 wizzyrea but you'd have to store that, right rhcl?
15:52 wizzyrea hence, tracking.
15:52 jcamins sekjal: ooh! I bet you left NYU before they implemented GetIt.
15:52 jcamins sekjal: one moment while I get you a link.
15:52 sekjal jcamins:  thanks
15:54 jcamins Hm.
15:54 * oleonard realizes if we added a Tags component to Bugzilla there would be no one to be default asignee
15:54 jcamins This is a bit problematic.
15:54 jcamins Oh, never mind, here's a short URL.
15:54 jcamins https://getit.library.nyu.edu/go/2694595
15:54 jcamins Note the "Send to phone" option on the right.
15:54 rhcl_lita sekjal:  why store? let the patron enter it, send the sms, then >/dev/null it.
15:55 jcamins Note that last I heard, the Send to phone service was _incredibly_ popular.
15:55 jcamins Even without any way to link it to the patron's account.
15:55 sekjal rhcl_lita:  that wouldn't be so bad; could control with an Auth Value
15:55 rhcl_lita oops, should have been directed to wizzyrea
15:56 wizzyrea meh
15:56 kf rhcl_lita: I think the problem is that someone has to pay for the sms - usually the sender
15:56 wizzyrea both, usually.
15:56 sekjal jcamins:  yes, we could do it just like NYU Bobst is doing
15:56 jcamins kf: in the US, it's possible to send it so that the recipient pays.
15:56 sekjal their mechanism sends the SMS over email
15:57 jcamins sekjal: exactly. It's really cool.
15:57 sekjal that's why you need to know the provider, so you know the email domain
15:57 rhcl_lita kf: humm, can't be nearly what ILL costs us.  And you could always email to sms via a gateway
15:57 wizzyrea idk why we don't just do emails in the first place.
15:58 kf rhcl_lita: not sure if things are different here
15:58 kf rhcl_lita: I only know of one ils here that can send sms and it requires you to buy 'batches' of sms, like buy 10000 text messages to be sent out
15:58 kf from a provider
15:58 rhcl_lita http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_SMS_gateways
15:58 kf at least it was like that when I asked a few years back on library congress
16:00 sekjal brb
16:00 rhcl_lita donno, seems pretty simple to me. Just get the input phone and service, pipe that into a script which creates an email and send.
16:02 kf rhcl_lita: you might be right - would be very cool

16:28 wizzyrea that is a very good question.
16:37 Oak http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]on_firefox_plugin
16:39 oleonard Yeah, that page shows a screenshot of a page in Koha which isn't actually in Koha as far as I can tell.
16:39 oleonard "Process pending offline circulations?"
16:41 maximep there's a ff plugin to do offline circ ? cool
16:41 maximep no link to it on that wiki page ?
16:42 wizzyrea it's called KOCT

18:32 oleonard It would be relevant to only a small subset of users, but useful for developers and testers

18:50 oleonard Move them to the template
18:53 cait yep
18:53 cait maximep: all that should be in templates, not in the pl files
18:54 maximep C4::Letters::EnqueurLetter takes a parameter with the title and content of the message

18:55 cait normally it should be a template from tools > notices

19:01 cait there is
19:01 cait let me get the link for you
19:01 cait http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ng_Database_Files
19:02 cait what you have to do
19:03 cait create a patch with kohastructure.sql changed
19:03 cait and updatedatabase.pl with a new entry
19:03 cait leave version number at XXX in updatedatabase
19:03 cait for testing your patch yourself, change the xxx to be the next number and change kohversion.pl (I think) accordingly
19:04 cait when starting your koha it will compare the number from kohaversion to the number in your database and start the update
19:04 * cait hopes she explained that right
19:07 maximep yes you did
19:07 maximep ok, then I will send a patch soon
19:07 maximep or maybe several patches
19:08 maximep just looked at that wiki page. You were a *lot* clearer than it lol
19:09 cait I tried :)
19:09 cait looked at it myself and decided I should try..,
19:10 cait what you can also do is find a nice easy patch to copy from - like a new syspref being added

19:20 jcamins Heh.
19:20 slef "Why haven't you converted these records correctly? We used ISBD punctuation rules." "Not on that one you didn't" "Oh"
19:24 cait lol
19:25 cait so give them a list to correct manually?
19:25 slef yeah... 5% of 6k is 300...
19:25 jcamins Pfft.
19:25 slef I'll give them a list. Doubt they'll correct them.
