00:30 dkg i have an old koha 3.0.x install that i'm trying to maintain
00:30 dkg barcode labels are not showing up properly (the pdf generated seems to be damaged)
00:30 dkg i'm considering upgrading to a newer version to see if i can fix things
00:31 dkg but i was wondering if there are any notes i should consider to do a more targeted fix first
00:34 dkg it seems like there are two instances of prInitVars() getting called on lines 86 and 116 of labels/label-print-pdf.pl in the 3.0.x branch
01:05 dkg i've reported the problem (and offered a patch) here: http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7111
01:05 huginn Bug 7111: normal, P5, ---, cnighswonger, NEW , label-print-pdf.pl creates malformed pdf files due to duplicate initialization of PDF::Reuse
01:06 dkg heh. i like the name of this channel's bot :)
01:06 rangi unfortunately 3.0.x is no longer maintained
01:06 rangi so the patch wont make it into a release, unless its based off master
01:06 dkg that patch will apply to master
01:07 rangi there was a huge amount of work done between 3.0 and 3.2 on lables
01:07 dkg ah, nice.
01:07 rangi ill change that from rel_3_0 to master then
01:07 dkg when i get some spare cycles to upgrade this installation, what's the recommended upgrade path for a 3.0 installation?
01:07 dkg rangi: it will apply to the master 3.0 branch
01:07 rangi yup
01:07 rangi thats why im changing the bug to say that
01:07 dkg that is, it doesn't just apply to 3.0.6
01:08 rangi if it says rel_3_0 .. no one will look at it :)
01:08 dkg but i doubt it's meaningful for the 3.6 master
01:08 dkg sorry for the confusion, i'm just getting my head around the version/branch situaton -- it's been several years since i've followed the koha community.
01:09 rangi i think safest is go to to 3.2.0, then 3.4.5 (or .6) .. and then to 3.6.1 (when its released next month)
01:09 rangi right we currently have 2 stable branches
01:09 rangi 3.4.x
01:09 rangi and 3.6.x
01:09 dkg ok, so don't try to do anything like jumping from 3.0.6 to 3.6.1 directly
01:09 rangi and then master, which is the dev branch
01:09 rangi it might work ;)
01:09 rangi but id do a back up first
01:09 dkg always
01:10 rangi and read the Upgrade section of the INSTALL file
01:10 rangi a few things changed in 3.4.x
01:10 dkg gotcha.
01:10 rangi including the templating engine and where marc data for items are stored
01:10 dkg the upgrade scripts migrate data to the new place?
01:11 rangi there is one you need to run, if you are migrating from an earlier version to 3.4.x
01:11 rangi its documented in the INSTALL file tho
01:11 dkg gotcha.
01:11 dkg ok, thanks.
01:11 rangi no worries, good luck
01:12 * dkg wishes there was more time allocated to working on this installation :(
01:13 dkg rangi: so is "master" the right designation for something that does only apply against the 3.0.x branch?
01:13 rangi i thought you said it would apply to master?
01:13 rangi ahh you meant it will only  apply to 3.0.x ?
01:13 dkg sorry, i tried to clarify that.
01:14 rangi yeah, that branch is dead, so that patch will never go anywhere
01:14 * dkg sheds a tear into the unmaintained void
01:14 dkg ah well
02:21 wizzyrea what's up party people.
02:22 rangi not much, i just want some ghost chips
02:22 eythian you can't eat them
02:22 rangi heh

02:22 wizzyrea oh dear
02:23 wizzyrea fush chups!
02:23 rangi puzzle time
02:23 rangi thats another one thats gonna stick
02:23 wizzyrea hmm that's one of the better psa's
02:23 rangi yup
02:24 wizzyrea "you didn't die. That's awesome!"
02:24 wizzyrea um, paraphrased of course
03:13 wizzyrea had anybody reported the fact that if you have 2 prices, for example $18.05 ($20.00 CAN) in the 020$c, imports to acq baskets fails?
03:14 wizzyrea "only one decimal separator permitted on addorderiso2709.pl"
03:14 wizzyrea line 209
03:18 rangi hmm
03:19 rangi nope
03:19 rangi but cait would know for sure
03:19 wizzyrea truf. will ask her
03:20 wizzyrea I didn't check that on master
03:20 wizzyrea 3.05.11 I think
03:20 wizzyrea will check that tomorrow
03:20 rangi cool

03:24 libsysguy ohhh bug hunting
03:24 libsysguy i thought you said you'd been hunting :p
03:24 * wizzyrea has been defying (some) gender stereotypes since 1979
03:24 libsysguy what bug is bugging you?
03:25 wizzyrea oh, I figured out what was happening
03:25 libsysguy ohh
03:25 libsysguy was it the syspref that you were talking about earlier today?
03:25 wizzyrea it was a bug in acq, where if you have 2 prices in the 020$c, for example $10.00 (20.00 CAN) acq comes back with a fatal error
03:25 wizzyrea nope, that's a project for tomorrow too though :)
03:26 libsysguy speaking of projects I need to round up the notices group
03:26 wizzyrea oh, I should specify: when the record is being brought in from a staged file
03:26 libsysguy wizzyrea++ for squishing bugs
03:26 wizzyrea well I haven't squished it yet

09:13 fabio_t Hi folks! :)
09:15 cait hi fabio_t
09:16 fabio_t I'm importing some records from the GUI, but I'm having problems with diacritics.
09:17 fabio_t I'm on Koha 3.6 (.deb version) and I can't find the preference for template encoding - I'm not sure if Koha's intranet are UTF-8 or Latin
09:17 fabio_t * intranet is
09:18 fabio_t Browser (Firefox) is UTF-8
09:19 fabio_t output of SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "character\_set\_%"; in mysql is the following:
09:19 fabio_t character_set_client     | latin1 | | character_set_connection | latin1 | | character_set_database   | latin1 | | character_set_filesystem | binary | | character_set_results    | latin1 | | character_set_server     | latin1 | | character_set_system     | utf8
09:20 cait are your records utf8?
09:20 fabio_t if I run SHOW CREATE TABLE somekohatable; it returns utf8
09:20 cait hm,
09:21 cait there used to be a tutorial on the wiki about setting up mysql
09:21 cait not sure it's up to date yet
09:21 cait http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]cter_Sets_in_Koha
09:21 cait still
09:22 fabio_t I'm not sure, i have a .iso file with the records, how can i check if they're utf8?
09:22 fabio_t thank you cait, i'm checking it
09:22 cait fabio_t: not sure :(
09:23 cait perhaps they are marc8
09:23 cait you can set the encoding when importing the records
09:23 cait perhaps try different settings
09:25 fabio_t unfortunately i didn't make the export file myself
09:26 fabio_t some more info: i'm on Linux Mint 11
09:26 fabio_t if i run locale -a i got this:
09:26 fabio_t C en_AG en_AG.utf8 en_AU.utf8 en_BW.utf8 en_CA.utf8 en_DK.utf8 en_GB.utf8 en_HK.utf8 en_IE.utf8 en_IN en_IN.utf8 en_NG en_NG.utf8 en_NZ.utf8 en_PH.utf8 en_SG.utf8 en_US.utf8 en_ZA.utf8 en_ZW.utf8 it_CH.utf8 it_IT.utf8 POSIX zh_CN.utf8 zh_SG.utf8
09:26 cait hm if you run locale?
09:27 cait I think the problem is probably not your database
09:27 fabio_t LANG=it_IT.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=it:en LC_CTYPE="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_TIME="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_NAME="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_ALL=
09:27 cait but the data import
09:27 cait I would try importing them with different encodings
09:27 cait and see if one works
09:27 cait there is a pulldown
09:27 cait for encoding on the page for staged import
09:28 fabio_t could i set encoding by importing them with the GUI?
09:28 fabio_t ok thanks
09:29 hdl left #koha
09:30 fabio_t are Koha 3.6 pages UTF8 by default?

12:44 oleonard cait: I mapped out some revised acquisitions navigation last night when I couldn't sleep :)
12:45 cait not sure if I should say yay now or worry :)
12:45 cait I am working on reimplementing an old patch right now, to show the fund on the receive screen... still working my way through acq :)
12:45 cait oleonard: so what does it look like? :)
12:46 oleonard It's all on paper at the moment. Actual paper!
12:46 oleonard What I'm worried about is that Biblibre might have a branch full of acquisitions changes which will be disruptive
12:48 chris_n oleonard++ # for making use of a sleepless night ;-)
12:48 oleonard Thank goodness it wasn't the whole night
12:49 cait hm
12:49 chris_n I've been doing some pretty neat stuff with Data Tables and jEditable in an in house app
12:49 cait have you seen the google doc paul linked to from one of the bugs?
12:49 cait they have a list
12:49 chris_n there's a lot of potential I think for Koha and Datatables
12:49 cait there is a lot of acq work
12:50 cait but if we wait... nothing will move forward in my experience
12:50 chris_n lack_of_coordination--
12:51 cait I am all for coordination
12:51 cait only it's hard
12:54 oleonard chris_n: I think that's the direction we're going, but I'm not sure where to begin
12:55 trea joined #koha
12:55 chris_n I think that short schedules and lack of time probably is the big coordination killer
12:57 cait lack of communication is another
12:58 chris_n right; I think that may fall prey to scheduling as well
12:58 cait i think even if we coordinate
12:58 cait there will always be some conflicts to solve
12:58 cait and one of the problem with coordinating is
12:58 chris_n it might be helpful to have regular monthly meetings for each component of Koha
12:58 cait that we are not good at submitting things when they are supposed to be submitted
12:59 chris_n or at least those undergoing rapid development
12:59 cait which would be necessary to build one feature on the other
12:59 cait instead we keep waiting, because we know someone is working on it
12:59 chris_n true
12:59 cait and things never get fixed
12:59 cait and I am really tired of that

14:27 wizzyrea people with mature acquisitions data
14:34 cait I think most of the fixes right now are small
14:34 cait and easy to test

19:57 oleonard Weird... if I'm not mistaken aqbudgets.pl doesn't actually search budgets, it retrieves all of them but supposedly tosses any results that don't match your search?
19:57 wizzyrea there is a lot of weird there.
19:58 oleonard my @budgets = @$moo; #FIXME
19:58 oleonard How very succinct.
19:58 * wizzyrea suggests oleonard go take a vacation in the OPAC
19:58 wizzyrea things are pretty well sane there.
19:59 oleonard Yeah, only I'd probably end up in lists or tags and oh god the pain.
20:00 wizzyrea hmm, well the patron update screen could use some new divs :P

20:00 wizzyrea and the messaging screen too.
20:01 wizzyrea if you wanted something where you didn't have to think too hard.
20:01 wizzyrea lol
20:01 wizzyrea do note, I had planned on doing those myself :P
20:06 cait back
20:06 wizzyrea how was dinner?
20:06 cait om nomnomnom :)
20:06 cait yummy
20:06 wizzyrea :D
20:13 cait wizzyrea: did you try the fix from maximep?
20:14 wizzyrea yes, but no result
20:14 wizzyrea it was still broken, unless you found differently
20:14 cait haven't tried it yet

20:22 wizzyrea oh my gracious
20:22 wizzyrea so many acq things
20:26 cait to sign off or bugs?
20:27 rangi who has 2 mins
20:27 * wizzyrea does
20:27 wizzyrea what ya got
20:27 rangi do you have a user that has some comments?
20:27 cait well, wizzyrea was first :)
20:27 rangi login as them
20:27 rangi then look at
20:27 rangi cgi-bin/koha/opac-showreviews.pl
20:28 wizzyrea more than one comment?
20:28 wizzyrea on different items?
20:29 rangi i just want to know if any show at all :)
20:29 rangi http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=2075
20:29 huginn Bug 2075: enhancement, P3, ---, gmcharlt, NEW , complete opac/opac-showreviews.pl (My Reviews page)
20:29 rangi looking at this, it looks like its pretty close to done to me
20:30 wizzyrea cgi-bin/koha/opac-showreviews.pl
20:30 wizzyrea er
20:30 wizzyrea no
20:30 wizzyrea sec
20:30 wizzyrea http://screencast.com/t/GDxOK8oVx
20:30 wizzyrea there we go
20:31 wizzyrea looks nice to me
20:31 rangi cool
20:31 wizzyrea even looks nice in my pretty OPAC
20:31 rangi so i reckon it just needs a liknk from opac-user.pl eh?
20:31 wizzyrea though the comment form will need some attention from me
20:32 wizzyrea yea, I think so!
20:32 rangi sweet
20:32 wizzyrea I am kind of in there, I can do it
20:32 rangi :)
20:32 rangi cool
20:33 wizzyrea so that's already in the code base?
20:33 wizzyrea it just needs to be linked in/linked up
20:33 rangi yep
20:33 wizzyrea sweet. a project. :)
20:34 rangi bug 941
20:34 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]ow_bug.cgi?id=941 enhancement, P2, ---, paul.poulain, REOPENED , In advanced search : ask for controlled terms for "subject"
20:34 cait I think there is a sys pref now
20:34 rangi what does that even mean?
20:34 cait subjects
20:35 cait it's something my library wants to
20:35 cait too
20:35 rangi a syspref for what cait?
20:35 cait if you use authorities,
20:35 cait for the comments I think
20:35 rangi and if you can explain it better on the bug
20:35 cait to make it a link in the nav
20:35 cait ok, mixing things up
20:35 cait I had wine :)
20:35 rangi thats for recent comments for everything
20:35 wizzyrea not usercomments
20:35 rangi this is just your own comments, to go in hte left hand nav when you are logged in
20:36 rangi cait: bug 941 if you explain it better on the bug, sounds like something i could work on when sitting on the stand
20:36 cait :)
20:36 cait oki
20:38 wizzyrea yea, I don't see a pref for user comments - is there one to turn commenting off entirely?
20:38 wizzyrea i suppose we shouldn't show the tab if you can't place comments :P
20:38 * wizzyrea will hunt around.
20:38 rangi yep
20:38 wizzyrea found ti
20:38 jcamins rangi: so now you can work on your own programming projects... any big plans for what you want to work on during the 3.8 cycle? :)
20:39 rangi hmmyou might need to check that showreviews.pl does only show your own wizzyrea
20:39 wizzyrea k will check
20:39 rangi i think it might have been taken over to show all recent comments
20:39 rangi http://www.flickr.com/photos/r[…]35/in/photostream
20:40 rangi in which case, it will need to be changed
20:40 rangi to accept a borrowernumber and have opac-user.pl set that
20:40 * rangi makes your project bigger
20:40 wizzyrea ^.^
20:41 rangi jcamins: pretty much all stuff to do with the opac
20:41 wizzyrea i approve of this
20:41 rangi ill do staff side stuff if ppl pay me to
20:41 wizzyrea the staff side is for the library, but the opac is for the *people*
20:42 rangi but for my own stuff, openlibrary ebooks, a 'public' profile page in the opac for ppl who want to be able to show ppl what they read, etc
20:42 huginn New commit(s) needsignoff: [Bug 2629] Diacritics not being ignored when searching <http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=2629>
20:42 jcamins rangi++
20:42 rangi (needed to show ppl badges too when we get that)
20:43 wizzyrea *nod*
20:43 rangi threaded comments
20:43 rangi maybe
20:43 wizzyrea those are great projects :D
20:43 rangi that kinda stuff
20:44 rangi the openlibrary api's are very nice
20:44 rangi so that wont be hard
20:44 rangi i did have some good talks with karen coombs at access as well, so maybe leverage some more oclc api also
20:50 cait :)
20:50 cait rangi++
20:55 rangi i do really like the libravatar stuff http://www.flickr.com/photos/r[…]93/in/photostream
20:56 rangi i think doing stuff like this, will do more to help libraries and thus koha survive
20:56 rangi than adding yet another set of insanely complex rules/workflow in the admin side
20:57 * jcamins agrees.
20:57 jcamins Though I do think that the loudest researchers use tracings, and therefore they should work.
20:58 rangi yup
20:58 cait features should do what you expect them to do
20:58 cait i don't like hald-done things
20:58 rangi yup
21:00 rangi the problem is, everyone expects them to something else
21:03 rangi to do even
21:06 cait hm yes
21:06 cait true :)
21:08 rangi i think do what they say they do
21:08 rangi is a good thing to aim for
21:08 rhcl The State of Missouri has selected Evergreen for the new state-wide consortial supported ILS.
21:08 rangi awesome
21:08 cait nice :)
21:08 rhcl yep
21:09 rangi south australia just selected symphony
21:09 rangi one living in the future
21:09 rangi one paying for the past
21:10 cait yeah I saw that :(
21:10 rangi one paying a stupid amount of money for the past too actually
21:11 rhcl Koha is going to remain a big player for individual libraries, I'm sure. We have a meeting with two people from MOREnet (University of Missouri tech support) about Koha next week.
21:11 rangi evergreen or koha is fine by me, as long as its free software im happy :()
21:11 rangi hmm :) even
21:11 rhcl I've always tried to emphasize that Koha and EG, and the two communities themselves, play well together.
21:12 rangi yup, i spent a lot of time chatting and drinking with the EG developers at access
21:12 rangi well the sitka based ones anyway
21:13 rangi with fulfillment they will play even nicer together

22:59 libsysguy if I delete an item from the items table the cascades should take care of the other entries right?
23:04 trea left #koha
23:06 cait there are no other tables for items
23:06 cait hm
23:06 cait or not sure
23:06 cait perhap sin acq and serials
23:06 libsysguy oh well i mean biblionumbers
23:06 libsysguy sorry
23:06 cait no, if you delete all items it will not delete the biblio
23:06 libsysguy yeah I have a list of 186,000 ebooks that i have to delete
23:07 cait why not undo the import?
23:07 libsysguy what if i delete from biblioitems
23:07 cait ah, no staged marc import? but bulkmarcimported them?
23:07 libsysguy because the import was when I did the whole collection
23:07 libsysguy these are just ebooks from a journal we are no longer subscribing to
23:07 libsysguy so we need to take them out of the catalog
23:09 cait hm I think probably biblio, bilbioitems, items
23:09 libsysguy yeah that all i really want
23:09 cait normally you have to look for holds, subscriptions, checkouts...
23:09 cait but for ebooks it might be ok?
23:09 libsysguy yeah I think it is
23:10 rangi if you delete the biblio, the cascade/foreign keys will get rid of the biblioitems and items
23:10 rangi of course back up before you do it
23:10 libsysguy oh yes I have already done a backup
23:10 libsysguy :)
23:12 cait rangi++ for being a great source of wisdom
23:12 cait ;)
23:12 rangi you will need to do a full reindex
23:12 rangi if you do it in the db tho
23:12 rangi if you write a script that uses the api
23:13 rangi then it will put rows in the zebraqueue for you
23:19 libsysguy dang it i ran it in the db…but I wasn planning on doing a full reindex anyway
23:19 libsysguy i figured putting it in zebraqueue would still lag it out since it runs every 5 mins
23:19 rangi yup
23:19 libsysguy also kill the partial update cronjob :p
23:20 rangi but search stays up while you do it
23:20 libsysguy ahh true
23:20 libsysguy well the catalog only gets about 200 hits on fridays anyway
23:20 libsysguy and most of them have already happened…the college kids are in the process of getting wasted…they care not about researching :p
23:21 rangi :)
23:21 rangi you could use at
23:21 rangi to schedule the reindex to run at 1am
23:21 rangi i do that
23:21 libsysguy true…i actually already have that set up
23:22 libsysguy to run on the first at midnight
23:22 libsysguy but I have never turned it on
23:22 rangi yeah that would be fine then
23:22 rangi at does a one off
23:22 rangi so i use it a lot to do things when i dont want to be awake to do them
23:22 libsysguy haha exactly
23:24 jcamins_away Uh-oh. Indexing issues at UT Tyler?
23:24 libsysguy umm I hope not
23:24 libsysguy I just had to delete 186K records
23:24 jcamins_away Ah.
23:24 libsysguy so I figured a reindex was in order
23:25 jcamins_away Seems like a good idea.
23:27 libsysguy aw man i forgot to run zebra with the -v
23:27 libsysguy now all I have to watch is top
23:28 jcamins_away I hate it when I do that.
