07:04 halfie hi, how do I enable sending emails in Koha? ./koha-email-enable script for an "instancename" which I don't know about.
07:07 cait halfie: you have installed koha using the packages?
07:08 cait you have to set up an mta on your system that koha can use
07:08 halfie cait: I installed Koha from source distribution. I already have postfix working on the system.
07:08 cait and if you used the packages the instancename will be the name of the koha installation you want to activate mails for
07:08 cait I am not sure what source distribution menas - did you use the koha-common packages?
07:09 halfie cait: I used source distribution and did "make install". source distribution implies koha-latest.tar.gz tarball distribution.
07:09 cait halfie: ah ok
07:09 cait then you are not using the packages
07:10 cait there are debian packages and the koha-email-enable script is for those
07:10 cait have you set up the cronjobs for koha?
07:10 cait for most mails
07:10 cait koha writes the mail into a database table message_queue and will send them out when the cronjob process_message_queue (might have a typo here) is run
07:11 cait for generating overdue mails you need the overdues cronjob
07:11 cait for date due and reminder mails the advance_notices cronjob
07:11 cait it's in the documentation I think
07:11 cait documentation?
07:11 wahanui documentation is probably at http://koha-community.org/documentation/
07:12 halfie okay, I followed http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ki/Koha_on_Ubuntu and currently, I only have a single rebuild_zebra.pl job in cron.
07:13 cait ah
07:13 cait what kind of mails were you trying to send?
07:13 cait having the rebuild_zebra is good
07:13 cait you only miss a little bit of configuration for the mails
07:14 cait and you said you already have postfix - so should not be hard :)
07:14 halfie cait: user (patron) creation mails. I was trying to inform users when their accounts are created.
07:14 cait hmm
07:14 cait those are a special case
07:15 cait because they circumvent the message_queue
07:15 cait no cronjobs required here
07:15 cait do you have a notice set up under tools > notices?
07:15 cait and also
07:15 cait the message will only be sent out, if you add a password on creation of the user
07:15 cait I have tested that a while ago - hope it still behaves like that
07:16 halfie cait: cool, trying it out
07:16 cait the notice should be in module members and named ACCTDETAILS
07:17 cait there is a sample notice that comes with Koha - but you have to select them during installation I think
07:22 halfie cait: I created a user with email and password set but the new user still didn't receive an email. trying to debug ..
07:22 marcelr joined #koha
07:22 marcelr hello koha
07:22 cait halfie: the latest version - 3.6.3? right?
07:23 cait halfie: I can try and test perhaps when at work
07:23 cait good morning marcelr
07:23 cait :)
07:23 marcelr hi cait :-)
07:23 halfie cait: yes 3.6.3
07:23 cait halfie: perhaps it was username and password... I remember it would not send out the mails when editing the patron after its first creation
07:24 cait halfie: I guess you have activated the system preference?
07:25 laurence joined #koha
07:25 halfie cait: yes, I have set email in system preferences. I also crated a new user with username and password set but didn't receive an email.
07:29 dpavlin joined #koha
07:30 cait hm sorry
07:30 cait running out of ideas :(
07:30 cait AutoEmailOpacUser is the one to look at
07:30 cait that should be set to send
07:33 halfie cait:I am checking the logs now. that fiels is already set to send. I am clearing the logs and creating a new user for debugging.
07:33 cait sounds good :)
07:34 laurence joined #koha
07:41 halfie cait: after restarting postfix email notifcations are working :). thanks for all the help.
07:41 reiveune joined #koha

12:31 jwagner joined #koha
12:31 marcelr julian_m around ?
12:31 julian_m marcelr, yes
12:31 marcelr hi julian: question about 7178
12:32 marcelr my quantity on neworderempty is always readonly?
12:32 marcelr seems to be so in current master too
12:32 marcelr with acqcreateitem=ordering
12:32 kf marcelr: sorry, was at lunch
12:33 marcelr we normally use cateloging there
12:33 marcelr hi kf
12:33 marcelr see the problem report..
12:34 marcelr julian_m: understand my problem?
12:34 kf marcelr: yes,when you have it on order it is
12:34 kf marcelr: there is an enh request
12:34 kf but it's not regressing
12:34 kf only staying the same
12:35 julian_m marcelr, not sure of what you are talking about, when acqcreateitem='ordering' you create items in neworderempty.pl so quantity is automatically increased when you create new items
12:35 marcelr so can only order one there now
12:35 kf marcelr: you can only fill in quantity manually when creating items in cataloging or on receive
12:35 marcelr though that it also was so with receiving? will check that
12:35 kf marcelr: it's a request from big libraries to change it - but it's like that now and after the patch, so I think it should not fail qa for not fixing another bug
12:35 kf marcelr: yes, when creating on receive, it's like that too :)
12:35 kf on the receive
12:37 marcelr well ok
12:42 marcelr julian_m: with your patch, i cannot edit quantity while it is zero; so i cannot save and i am stuck at neworderempty..
12:43 marcelr the item block is completely empty
12:43 julian_m marcelr, with acqcreateitem='ordering' ?
12:43 marcelr yes
12:44 nengard joined #koha
12:44 julian_m marcelr, be sure to refresh entirely the page (.js included), with firefox I had some problems until I press <Ctrl>-F5
12:44 marcelr try
12:45 marcelr no change.
12:45 julian_m marcelr, ok.. :(
12:45 kf marcelr: you can never order less than 1
12:46 marcelr it is 0 and readonly
12:46 kf oh
12:46 kf sorry
12:46 kf misunderstood the question then
12:46 kf you have always to add at least 1 item
12:46 marcelr cannot do it
12:46 marcelr no item block to see
12:46 kf marcelr: did you just start testing? I had it happen to me once while testing, but after F5+ctrl it worked
12:46 kf that the item form didn't showup
12:46 marcelr did some refreshes just now
12:46 kf and after that it worked
12:46 kf I thought it was because of that, so didn't note as a bug
12:48 julian_m marcelr, i want to be sure to understand, does the item form show up once, and disappear after clicking on save, or just never shows up?
12:48 marcelr see 7178 uploaded a screenshot
12:50 * jcamins looks to see if there's anything to sign off on this morning as he tries to wake up.
12:50 jcamins 7609.
12:51 jcamins marcelr: are you working on bug 7609?

12:51 marcelr not now
12:51 marcelr 7178 currently
12:51 marcelr well working..
12:51 marcelr it does not work
12:52 kf jcamins: that is a good idea
12:52 julian_m marcelr, tested just now, freshly rebased on master, I reproduce your problem, but when I hit ctrl-F5, the form appears :-/
12:53 marcelr julian: added a comment
12:53 marcelr about template neworderempty
12:53 marcelr that is the problem
12:53 kf marcelr++
12:54 kf successful qa - found what I missed :)
12:54 kf sure it can be fixed and then it will be awesome
12:54 marcelr julian: your patch introduces that line
12:56 slef any suggestions for who's got a nice library logo on their koha?
12:56 jcamins slef: ACPL?
12:56 kf ^^
12:56 jcamins It's very popular in India.
12:56 slef wahanui: ACPL?
12:56 wahanui slef: no idea
12:56 julian_m marcelr, I don't think readonly is your problem, this is the normal behaviour. The problem is that you don't see the form and therefore can't add items
12:56 slef jcamins: myacpl.org ?
12:56 jcamins ACPL is Athens County Public library.
12:56 jcamins slef: right.
12:57 marcelr julian: it is the combination of 0 + readonly?
12:57 slef I'd like one that is using prog templates if possible, to give a small library an idea
12:57 kf julian_m, marcelr: I think that is right
12:57 jcamins oleonard uses prog.
12:57 jcamins slef: I think I'm missing something about what you're looking for.
12:57 slef ACPL bust their logo out of the usual logo position (opacCss maybe)
12:58 kf slef: I think most libraries use prog, others don't work well, it's all css and js
12:58 slef I'm looking for a nice logo in the usual logo position (sorry for not qualifying it)
12:58 jcamins Ah.
12:59 jcamins Well, this one is... not awful, maybe: http://donum.numismatics.org/
12:59 kf hfjs.bsz-bw.de ?
13:00 NateC joined #koha
13:00 julian_m marcelr, the quantity is automatically incremented as you add items. This behaviour is not different from master, right? (the difference is that on master quantity start at 1 instead of 0)
13:00 slef jcamins: it'll do as an example
13:00 slef kf: nice one
13:01 marcelr julian_m: but cannot add items too
13:01 marcelr see jpg
13:03 julian_m marcelr, yes, that is the problem, did you see any javascript errors (with firebug or other) ?
13:03 marcelr no but will look
13:05 marcelr lots of errors there
13:05 marcelr Waarschuwing: Onbekende eigenschap ‘zoom’.  Declaratie genegeerd.
13:05 marcelr oops dutch
13:05 marcelr Unknown property zoom
13:06 marcelr same for Xposition
13:06 marcelr all coming from yui/skon
13:06 marcelr all coming from yui/skin
13:08 julian_m marcelr, still talking about neworderempty o_ô ? I never seen these messages before... :-/
13:09 marcelr yes one refresh there generates tens of warnings
13:09 marcelr from skin and staff-global mostly
13:10 tcohen joined #koha
13:12 marcelr julian_m: if i repeat on current master, i also have lots of warnings but they are not all the same (!)
13:12 julian_m marcelr, ok, it seems that some javascript fails and so the piece of js that should load the item form is not executed. don't know what to do since i do not reproduce
13:12 jcamins marcelr: do you have any custom javascript in intranetuserjs?
13:12 marcelr no
13:12 julian_m marcelr, any special version of yui libraries maybe? :)
13:12 * jcamins is out of ideas, then.
13:13 oleonard joined #koha
13:13 marcelr no special yui too
13:14 marcelr dutch firefox though??
13:15 marcelr julian: do you test with english or french firefox?
13:16 marcelr or another browser?
13:17 julian_m marcelr, without the patch do you get the same error messages?
13:17 julian_m marcelr, firefox 10 (french)
13:17 marcelr not all message are the same
13:18 marcelr in both cases lots of warnings
13:18 jcamins marcelr: you've had other instances of javascript problems.
13:18 jcamins There was that bug in cataloging that I couldn't duplicate.
13:18 jcamins What version of FF are you using?
13:18 marcelr was that javascript?

13:28 marcelr kf: would you be changing the note regularly then?
13:28 kf no, but each library can have a default note
13:29 kf like: please keep the issue only for 2 days max before giving it to the next person on list
13:29 kf and if they want, they can add an individual note too (that's already there), like: CD is in the office of ...

14:00 kf kivilahtio: you will have to ask oleonard how he did that :)
14:02 kivilahtio how do you control that patrons delete eMaterial after the loan period expires?
14:02 oleonard kivilahtio: We don't. the DRM is handled by the service we subscribe to.
14:03 kivilahtio oleonard: ok, that's good to hear
14:03 kivilahtio oleonard: makes our job much easier
14:03 kivilahtio oleonard: out of curiosity? how much does this service cost?
14:04 kivilahtio oleonard: the eBook services for us are ridiculously expensive
14:04 talljoy joined #koha
14:04 oleonard I don't know the numbers because I don't handle the money. We're part of a consortium of libraries and we are obligated to spend a certain amount of money each year
14:04 kivilahtio with no way to control how many eBooks can be concurrently loaned, we will run out of budget in a flash
14:07 magnus_afk huh, suddenly my dev install gives a 500 error and the logs say "Premature end of script headers". weirdness!

14:15 magnus_afk no output?

14:16 magnus_afk $ which perl
14:16 magnus_afk /usr/bin/perl
14:16 slef possible third problem is that the apache configuration is misdirecting it somehow (handlers, suexec, or something else) but the error seems a bit confusing

14:17 slef that was looking for a fourth possibility: could be missing o+rx on a parent folder, most likely /home/magnus
14:18 slef well, that's an odd one. Can it run any CGI scripts? Any perl CGI scripts?
14:19 slef If yes to both, can it run a simple helloworld.pl from /home/magnus/kohaclone/opac/ ?

14:22 slef probably someone been editing it from Windows with an unclean tool?
14:22 slef open it in an editor that handles both DOS and Unix encodings and change it back to Unix
14:22 slef or use fromdos if you have it installed
14:23 marcelr dos2unix?

15:01 wizzyrea is there a page you wanted to have be the landing page for kohacon2012

15:02 wizzyrea kf: I think I'm with you - if you can't change it, what's the harm in viewing it?
15:03 wizzyrea but then again
15:03 kf I am torn
15:03 wizzyrea we don't use acquisitions
15:03 wizzyrea and I know people are titchy about money
15:03 kf so looking for opinions
15:03 kf it still assumes you have general access to the module
15:04 kf only not limiting to a special permission one of them is enough
15:04 magnuse wizzyrea: :-)

15:07 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7619 blocker, P2, ---, paul.poulain, ASSIGNED , 3M self checkout don't work in France
15:07 wizzyrea there
15:08 * oleonard notices Bug 7629 needs signoff, how interesting...
15:08 wizzyrea we have a site that just upgraded their self check machines, and have noticed rather odd behaviour out of them, but they are not *broken*
15:08 kf wizzyrea: what is the behaviour?
15:08 kf we updated a library last week :)
15:09 wizzyrea they connect then time out then reconnect and time out and the SIP services never terminate at the server side.
15:09 wizzyrea ending up with a zillion hung SIP processes.
15:09 paul_p wizzyrea without the patch = present a borrower card / wait 10 seconds minimum / message OK / present book 1 / "can't be checked-out" / present book 1 / message "ok, checked out / present book 2 / "can't be checked-out" / present book 2 / message "ok, checked out"  /...
15:09 wizzyrea ! that's alarming.
15:10 paul_p with the patch : present borrower card / immediate OK / present book 1 / OK, checked out / present book  / OK checked out
15:10 kf uh
15:10 kf weird!
15:10 kf it seems to work
15:10 kf we had problems with the sip server (it died sometimes) but now it seems ok
15:10 wizzyrea kf weren't you talking about something like that a week or so ago?
15:10 kf yes
15:10 paul_p yes, very weird. And not specific to this customer, as frederic told me he had the same problem
15:10 kf rangi recommended changing the settings for min spare
15:10 kf or whatever this is called, I told uli and he did... and now it's still alive
15:10 wizzyrea right, and you know what I bet that helped
15:11 kf we want to change it back sometime, testing if that really was the problem
15:11 kf but seems stable now
15:11 wizzyrea because it doesn't reach the limit of sip servers
15:11 paul_p kf we looked at 3M parameters, and haven't found anything about that. But the library said they'll ask 3M
15:11 kf paul_p: this library is using a german vendor - but we have another with 3m that is waitin gfor the update
15:11 kf last library we have to update
15:12 wizzyrea I think what you're seeing is the timeout problem.
15:13 wizzyrea that colin was talking about on bug 5586
15:13 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5586 normal, P3, ---, colin.campbell, Pushed to Master , SIP line-endings should use proper SPEC-compliant \r
15:13 kf hm right number?
15:13 wizzyrea yep
15:13 wizzyrea info's in the comments
15:14 wizzyrea we changed it -> colin started having trouble with timeouts
15:14 wizzyrea traced it back to the \r
15:15 wizzyrea we just got an update to our 3M machines, and an update to our Koha - with the old ones, it was no problem
15:15 wizzyrea with the new ones, we see this weird behavior
15:16 wizzyrea but I think because we have a high min spare and/or because we have a cron that checks for too many SIP processes and restarts the sipserver when it reaches a threshold
15:16 wizzyrea we don't see the actual *problem*
15:16 wizzyrea because there is always a sipserver to (re)connect to
15:18 kf for us it was the sipserver dying - not the self check
15:18 kf perhaps file a bug report?
15:19 kf I think documenting would be good
15:19 kf see if others had similar problems
15:27 wizzyrea oh, but the symptom of the two things is essentially the same
15:27 wizzyrea "the self check doesn't work right" because "the sip server is dying"
15:27 kf ah
15:27 kf thought you said the self check died
15:27 wizzyrea it hangs up it's connection with the server, afaict
15:28 wizzyrea and obsessively tries to reconnect until you run out of spare servers
15:28 wizzyrea and then it stops working altogether
15:30 kf :(

15:46 wizzyrea people get awfully weird when it comes to money
15:46 alaquerre Hi All, Is there a way to exchange information between Koha and Symphony ( SirsiDynix ). Basically, we have a city where the city Library is with Symphony and the college would like to implement Koha and still have access to the documents of the city and vice versa. Is there some kind of bridge for that ?
15:47 magnuse wizzyrea, kf: sounds like the safest thing is to restrict access then?
15:47 kf magnuse: yep, I think order_manage it is then :)
15:47 kf I have no problem with that
15:47 kf only didn't want to go the wrong way
15:48 jcamins alaquerre: you could use Z39.50, possibly, but what is it you're trying to do?
15:49 wizzyrea the first question?
15:49 wahanui the first question is probably "What are you trying to do?"
15:50 alaquerre jcamins - Most important feature is PEB... dont know how to say that in english... "Custom Hold "
15:51 alaquerre So that the city will be able to ask a document from the college.  Just like site transfert in Koha but with another system.
15:51 jcamins alaquerre: Inter-Library Loan.
15:51 alaquerre Exactly!
15:51 jcamins fulfillment?
15:52 jcamins Bah. wahanui doesn't know about fulfillment.
15:52 jcamins FulfILLment might be worth looking at.
15:52 jcamins It's an open source ILL thing.
15:52 oleonard FulfILLment is http://fulfillment-ill.org/
15:53 alaquerre Interresting! I'll have a look
15:53 alaquerre Thanks!!
15:53 oleonard FulfILLment is also an open source project designed to link library catalogs no matter which integrated library system his or her library uses
15:53 wahanui okay, oleonard.
15:56 magnuse but it's not ready for use yet, i think?
15:59 jcamins magnuse: I don't know. It's probably the best option for a "local" ILL facility, though.
16:03 alaquerre The hard part is that we will still need to ask Symphony to somehow use this connector... :-)  I can do it easily on Koha and try it... But not with Symphony.  If at some point I have the same kind of situation with Evergreen it will be possible...  Thanks again for your help.
16:03 wizzyrea I think symphony is one of the first systems to have a connector built for it
16:03 wizzyrea by fulfillment
16:03 * wizzyrea could be wrong about that
16:04 wizzyrea there are... 6-7 connectors that are being initially developed?
16:06 slef wizzyrea: can I have a kohacon12 page on k-c.o that I can edit as needed? We'll set something else up later.
16:07 wizzyrea sure, of course
16:07 slef thanks!
16:07 slef Do I have power to just Add Page?
16:07 wizzyrea give it a try, and if you don't, I will give you that :)

17:22 Shane-S does order matter for batch patron upload, ie, if I put "sex" on say column 2, versus 20 would it matter?
17:23 oleonard I assume so Shane-S. Did you download the starter CSV?
17:23 Shane-S I did, but I am cutting fields out, hoping it goes by the header "name" not the order

17:30 jcamins Shane-S: you cannot remove columns.
17:30 jcamins Shane-S: the format has to be *exactly* the same.
17:31 Shane-S hmm..that is a pain to "paste" data into
17:32 Shane-S have to do it column by column
17:32 jcamins Shane-S: a script might be your best option.
17:33 Shane-S nah, I can do it. Just more time then sorting it down to the columns we will actually use
17:34 * paul_p almost finished deploying the 10 sandboxes (7 done...)
17:34 Shane-S I might have to look at the import script, maybe I can modify it to be more "smart" and if a non-required column isn't included it NULLS the value for you.
17:34 cait joined #koha
17:34 paul_p RM newsletter writen, will publish it tomorrow
17:34 jcamins Shane-S: of course you *can* do it, but a script might be less trouble.
17:34 paul_p another very busy week !
17:35 paul_p bye #koha
17:36 cait bye paul_p
17:36 Shane-S hmmm... "OR choose which fields you want to supply from the following list:"
17:37 Shane-S I think it is already smart by that line
17:39 jcamins Shane-S: I was under the impression it didn't work. You could try.

17:50 jcamins Good news! You can! :D
17:52 jcamins You should totally do it. Just think how many happy academic libraries there will be. :)
17:53 nengard_lunch need report help with finding patrons without a specific attribute filed in ... anyone around to help? at http://paste.koha-community.org/286
17:53 wizzyrea there's also 7001 :P
17:54 jcamins wizzyrea: that's true, but 7284 is more fun.
17:54 wizzyrea but 7001 is... oh bother.
17:54 oleonard Hah, Marshall Breeding just retweeted a tweet that was quoting himself. Classy.
17:54 * sekjal would love to see some happy academic librarians...
17:57 jcamins Okay, time to head to my next client's.

18:28 jcamins_away sekjal: my pleasure.
18:29 sekjal jcamins_away:  if I was further along with my home cataloging project, I'd be able to put your code through much more of a wringer.  Right now, though, I'm bib-less and auth-less

18:33 jcamins_away sekjal: schuster tested it with a pretty large database, and I tested it with...
18:33 jcamins_away five different datasets.
18:34 sekjal jcamins_away:  cool
18:34 sekjal I'll keep reading though the code, looking for possible edge cases and such
18:34 jcamins_away A mixture of LC, SZB-SW, local, other, and what-the-heck-do-you-call-that-oh-my-god-my-eyes.
18:34 jcamins_away :)
18:35 jcamins_away It was not any more broken for the last option than the current functionality.
18:39 rangi awesome III is dead
18:39 rangi when you are bought by an equity company, thats your death warrant signed
18:40 jcamins_away rangi: what?!?
18:40 rangi III just got sold to vulture capitalists
18:40 rangi http://www.alatechsource.org/b[…]-equity-club.html
18:43 Shane-S hmm using the original template...and import_borrowers.pl isn't reading the header file of the .csv, anywhere I can look for more then the feedback?
18:44 sekjal huzzah the bell tolls for III, but is that going to mean more III to Koha migrations?  those are a bear
18:44 jcamins_away sekjal: we'll get it down to a science.
18:44 jcamins_away :)
18:45 sekjal jcamins_away:  we'll need to do a lot of work on Koha Acquisitions first... the two structures just don't match up
18:46 sekjal and librarians do all kinds of work arounds in III, so even a canonical mapping needs to be double-checked or completely redone if their workflows are adapted
18:46 sekjal it's doable
18:46 sekjal but ugh
18:46 jcamins_away sekjal++ # that sounded like volunteering to me!
18:47 sekjal well, my library's consortium *is* looking at looking at a new ILS in the next few years.... maybe
18:47 sekjal but we're Aleph now

19:06 rangi so thats all good
19:06 * jcamins_away signed off more than twice as many bugs in February as in January.
19:06 sekjal I wonder how busy March and April will be...
19:07 * jcamins_away suspects the number of sign-offs from him will be directly proportional to the amount of frustration the contractors cause..

19:13 jcamins_away Oh, there's the address.
19:14 jcamins_away Yeah, everthing in Manhattan is nearby, basicall.
19:14 rangi Cool
19:15 oleonard Just like everyone in NZ knows everyone else, right?
19:15 jcamins_away oleonard: lol. Except that Manhattan really is tiny.
19:15 rangi My wife is at the Hilton somewhere near there too
19:15 jcamins_away Well, except for the parts at the top of the island, which don't really count.
19:17 oleonard Shane-S: Did you find it? The preference is called OpacPasswordChange
19:18 Shane-S Didn't look yet, my ADD kicked in and I wanted to populate my cart and see what I can do :P
19:18 Shane-S And though I have available item I can place a hold...so I am looking for that setting now
19:20 jcamins_away Shane-S: if you meant "can't place a hold," the problem might be that you don't have circ rules configured.
19:20 Shane-S probably
19:21 Shane-S I remember that somewhere..and wasn't sure what it was for...but now I see that is what you do as a normal patron...put items on hold so they are available for you when you arrive to check them out
19:24 Shane-S Can I make a branch that can only see its own books and not the main libraries?
19:24 Shane-S An administrator here loans out books, and she thought it would be great to have her own branch for "Staff" Patrons to reserve and checkout books
19:25 jcamins_away Shane-S: not easily.
19:26 wizzyrea ooh, I knew I had done a lot but didn't realize it was *that* many
19:26 Shane-S so basically they just see all the books, and it just shows that branch having availability?
19:27 Shane-S I wasn't even thinking of branches till the principal asked if her books could be stored and checked out with it as well
19:28 Shane-S then I got to thinking, we could do that with DVDs as well, and each room can be a branch and people could search and know who has what DVD and "hold" it
19:28 wizzyrea well you can do that with itypes or ccodes as well
19:28 cait perhaps usevlocations?
19:28 wizzyrea or locations
19:28 wizzyrea jinx :)
19:28 cait easier :)
19:28 Shane-S isn't libraries.branches, locations that same screen?
19:29 wizzyrea ccode might make sense for the principal's collection.
19:29 wizzyrea no
19:29 wizzyrea we are talking about the location that's in the item record, the one defined by authorized values.

19:32 cait sekjal++
19:32 jcamins_away Ooh, I like the idea of having the "Machine generated authority record" be translatable.

19:43 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7636 major, P5 - low, ---, oleonard, NEW , error when trying to email cart when opacuserlogin set to don't allow
19:46 nengard sorry oleonard :)
19:46 nengard i say just hide the email button if that preference is set to don't allow
19:46 nengard that's the easiest thing to do
19:46 nengard i would think
19:47 oleonard I think you're quite right
19:57 kathryn joined #koha
19:57 oleonard The "recent comments" link should be hidden too, right? Since comments cant be added if you're not logged in?
19:58 cait hm but you can look at the comments form others?
19:58 wizzyrea this is for sites with opacuserlogin is never allowed though, right
19:59 oleonard The only way it would work is if opacuserlogin was on for a while, then turned off
19:59 oleonard ...that seems a fairly unlikely scenario
19:59 cait but woulnd't you just turn off the comments view then?
20:01 jcamins_away You could add comments from the staff client, no?
20:01 jcamins_away Ah.
20:01 jcamins_away Never mind then.
20:01 oleonard You can't add comments from the staff client
20:02 oleonard [% IF ( opacuserlogin && reviewson && OpacShowRecentComments ) %]
20:04 oleonard This is why we need sub-preferences. Turning off opacuserlogin could disable a bunch of stuff that doesn't make sense with it turned off (comments, tagging, etc)
20:10 oleonard Bam!
20:12 nengard oleonard you are right
20:12 nengard lots of things shouldn't show up  if you can't log in
20:13 nengard add to that list: add to private list, place holds
20:14 oleonard Where do you see the option to place holds with opacuserlogin disabled?
20:14 cait most of them can be switched off separately
20:14 cait I have done it
20:14 cait for a project
20:14 cait it can all be done by using the existing system preferences

20:37 sekjal wizzyrea:  7001 no longer applies... but it looks like it's just a DB update issue
20:37 wizzyrea yea, that happens every time
20:37 wizzyrea want me to fix it and resub or...
20:38 jcamins_away If you use git am -3iu /tmp/${WHATEVER} it might fix itself.
20:38 sekjal jcamins_away:  it did not
20:38 sekjal I'll see if I can resolve it myself
20:38 jcamins_away Ah well.
20:40 sekjal yup, easy fix
20:45 wizzyrea woot!

20:51 oleonard I don't have much patience for it anymore.
20:52 rangi it does take a lot of effort to be up to date
20:52 wizzyrea i don't know how hipsters do it!
20:52 rangi laurel is now a sole trader, so a registered company essentially, and does her teaching on contract

20:57 wizzyrea hee
20:58 sekjal wizzyrea: was it intentional that the print checkout slip should now show borrowernumber instead of barcode in the "Print Receipt for.." line?
20:58 wizzyrea it's configurable
20:58 wizzyrea you can have it do either I think
20:58 sekjal right
20:58 wizzyrea but no, not strictly intentional afaik
20:59 sekjal but just doing a straight upgrade, no customization, that's the only significant difference in how slips render
20:59 sekjal (checkout receipts, anyway)
20:59 wizzyrea *nod*
20:59 wizzyrea should probably change that eh
20:59 wizzyrea to be how it is now
20:59 wizzyrea I can do a followup?
20:59 wizzyrea have to add transitslip anyway

21:00 libsysguy yo
21:00 wizzyrea hey
21:00 libsysguy so I have an ebook that is showing up as checked out
21:00 libsysguy but its not in the issues table
21:00 wizzyrea old_issues?
21:00 libsysguy where else could that info get putted from?
21:00 wizzyrea (maybe it's indexing?)
21:00 wizzyrea and where is it showing as checked out
21:00 wizzyrea on the results or on the detail
21:00 cait libsysguy: onloan
21:00 libsysguy the opac
21:00 wahanui hmmm... the opac is for patrons
21:00 cait in items
21:01 libsysguy it can get set in items
21:01 libsysguy ??
21:01 cait the duedate is set in items
21:01 cait items.onloan - it always was :) used to be boolean, now is a date
21:01 cait and gets indexed by zebra for availability
21:01 wizzyrea sometimes the indexes get out of whack
21:01 wizzyrea and you'll see somethign in the results that's checked out, when it's really available
21:02 cait ^^
21:02 jcamins_away Or there's data in the onloan from migration.
21:02 schuster give it the interval for rebuild to catch up.
21:02 wizzyrea usually updating the record in some small way (i like putting a space in the public note) and saving it triggers another zebraqueue index process
21:02 libsysguy hmm ok ill give that a shot
21:02 wizzyrea and then it's all happy again
21:02 jcamins_away schuster: I don't know if you saw, but sekjal passed the patch for bug 7284. :)
21:03 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7284 major, P3, ---, jcamins, Passed QA , Authority matching algorithm improvements

21:03 oleonard jcamins_away: You need a new hobby now!
21:03 libsysguy onloan**
21:03 wizzyrea libsysguy?
21:03 wahanui libsysguy is Koha's hottest developer or partying with swedes on his deck
21:03 libsysguy hehe
21:03 sekjal wizzyrea:  it looks like it's not actually the content of the slip, just the page header, which likely wouldn't show on most receipt printers.
21:04 sekjal so I think it's a non-issue
21:04 wizzyrea oh cool.
21:04 jcamins_away oleonard: as soon as it's pushed, I'll start searching couch cushions for funding for the other authority-related projects I proposed.
21:04 * wizzyrea waits for the shakedown
21:05 libsysguy jcamins_away is in the authority mafia

21:06 libsysguy ^^ LOL
21:06 libsysguy omg is that a headless authority in my bed

21:10 eythian_bucklame hi cait
21:11 libsysguy ok si its not in issues, old_issues, onloan is set to 0 date...i ran an index after adding something to the public not...still says its checked out
21:11 libsysguy im not sure what im missing
21:11 eythian_bucklame make onloan set to null?
21:11 jcamins_away libsysguy: it shows up as checked out on detail and results, or just results?
21:12 libsysguy just the results
21:12 jcamins_away And it displays properly on the staff client
21:12 jcamins_away *?
21:13 wizzyrea and on the detail?
21:13 eythian_bucklame sounds like a zebra reindex needing issue
21:13 libsysguy if I go to look at the item in the checkout status i see "not checked out"
21:13 wizzyrea yea, it still sounds like an index issue to me
21:13 libsysguy hmm
21:13 wizzyrea eythian probably has it, it should be null
21:13 wizzyrea items.onloan
21:13 wizzyrea but
21:13 libsysguy but I don't wanna do a full index :'(
21:13 wizzyrea what you should d
21:13 wizzyrea no
21:13 wizzyrea just go in
21:13 libsysguy it take sooo longgg :p
21:13 wizzyrea edit the record
21:13 wizzyrea save it
21:13 wizzyrea wait for the zebraqueue
21:14 wizzyrea or check it out and back in
21:14 wizzyrea which would do the same thing
21:14 wizzyrea more or less.
21:14 jcamins_away ^^ that's what I'd do.
21:14 libsysguy fixed
21:14 libsysguy set to null and indexed
21:14 libsysguy thanks :)
21:14 jcamins_away And, with that thought, I think it's time to call it a day.
21:14 jcamins_away Good night, #koh.

21:19 rangi ie you can give it a range of biblionumbers
21:19 wizzyrea oh yea
21:19 rangi you might want to find and test it
21:19 rangi itw ould be super helpful in situations like this
21:19 rangi run an update query limit 1000
21:19 rangi then then just reindex those, rinse and repeat

21:23 sekjal uhoh.  found a problem with 7001
21:23 wizzyrea noooo
21:23 sekjal it's not mod_perl (and thus presumably Plack) compliant
21:23 wizzyrea gurg.
21:23 sekjal sub getletter modifies a variable declared outside itself
21:25 sekjal there's no in-line documentation around it, either, so I'm not entirely sure why it's doing this
21:25 wizzyrea :/
21:26 bag huh?  mod_perl standards
21:26 bag I missed that memo
21:26 bag but that would be sweet
21:27 sekjal mod_perl, or any tool other speedup that precompiles entire scripts as subroutines are going to run into a problem with this
21:27 wizzyrea does it pre-exist 7001?
21:27 sekjal no
21:27 sekjal introduced by
21:27 wizzyrea boo.
21:27 bag yeah no I'm just saying - that mod_perl would be sweet
21:28 sekjal I'll write it up in the bug report, and maybe Srdjan can explain what that particular bit of code is doing.  It may be worth the trouble down the line for the immediate gains, if reimplementing it would be hard
21:29 wizzyrea i've no doubt that he'll fix it post haste if he can. :)
21:30 sekjal in other news, love the variable name $want_librarian in GetPreparedLetter().
21:30 sekjal yes, always!
21:30 eythian_bucklame huh, srdjan should know better: the other big perl project he works on is mod_perl
21:30 wizzyrea :)
21:31 sekjal eythian_bucklame:  perhaps he's got more up-to-date information than I.
21:31 sekjal but from what I know, that set up is problematic
21:31 eythian_bucklame it's possible, I'm not sure. Could it be something that doesn't change?
21:31 eythian_bucklame that's the only reason I could think of off the top of my head.
21:36 sekjal it may be... it looks like it could be a hash of a hash of a hash that stores everything in it's own little cubby
21:37 wizzyrea "perl cubbies"
21:40 eythian_bucklame hmm, that's still something that could grow problematically.

21:56 sekjal night, all
22:00 wizzyrea ok
22:00 wizzyrea I have a bit of a stumper. Well, it's a stumper for me
22:00 Space_Librarian joined #koha
22:11 edveal left #koha
22:25 * jcamins_away has one too.
22:26 jcamins_away wth was wrong with "dumb" phones that worked, that we needed to switch to "smart" phones that don't?
22:26 Space_Librarian that is one of life's big mysteries
22:26 wizzyrea hah
22:26 wizzyrea I just realized that I never finished my stumper
22:26 jcamins_away wizzyrea: what was your stumper?
22:26 wizzyrea so I'm looking to get a report
22:26 wizzyrea hahaha
22:26 wizzyrea oh.
22:27 wizzyrea right, a report that lists patron name + all of their lost items + what they owe
22:27 wizzyrea this sounds easy
22:27 wizzyrea but I keep getting every item that is lost that the patron has checked out
22:27 wizzyrea so say, this person checked out jane eyre
22:27 wizzyrea but they didn't lose it, another patron did
22:27 wizzyrea I get those.
22:29 pastebot "wizzyrea" at 24.124.17.146 pasted "my stumper, my stumper, my lovely lady stumper" (11 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/288
22:30 jcamins_away Join accountlines to borrowernumber.
22:31 wizzyrea see I knew I was doing something dumb.
22:33 jcamins_away Why didn't I think of that...
22:34 jcamins_away Software error? Remove and replace the battery!
22:34 wizzyrea ?!
22:34 Space_Librarian lol.
22:34 wizzyrea oh, on your smart phone.
22:34 Space_Librarian Which smartphone is giving you grief?
22:34 jcamins_away HTC Incredible.
22:34 jcamins_away Let's see... did that fix it?
22:35 Space_Librarian HTC's are usually pretty good
22:35 jcamins_away That's what I've been told.
22:35 wizzyrea also, even iphones do nonsense like that
22:35 Space_Librarian Wait - is it running ice cream sandwich or gingerbread?
22:36 jcamins_away wizzyrea: I'd expect it from an iPhone.
22:36 jcamins_away Space_Librarian: I don't know, it's running whatever version of Android it updated to.
22:37 wizzyrea mine runs gingerbread and it's alright
22:37 jcamins_away That did fix it, BTW.
22:37 Space_Librarian which may be ice cream sandwich and it is a little buggy
22:37 wizzyrea but I had to replace the UI, samsung's UI made me feel itchy.
22:37 jcamins_away That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard of.
22:37 jcamins_away Pull the battery for a software error.
22:37 * Space_Librarian is still waiting for hers to upgrade to ice cream sandwich
22:37 wizzyrea dunno, you'd reboot a PC, which is basically what you've got
22:37 wizzyrea a PC in your pocket.
22:37 jcamins_away Why don't you just, I don't know, *turn off* when I choose the "turn off" button.
22:38 jcamins_away wizzyrea: but when I choose "shut down" on my computer, I expect it to do that.
22:38 wizzyrea but it doesn't always :)
22:38 * wizzyrea argues
22:38 jcamins_away lol
22:38 jcamins_away You have a point there.
22:39 jcamins_away But we're not talking about a locked up phone.
22:39 jcamins_away We're talking about a phone that shuts off and then takes fifteen minutes to turn on very happily.
22:39 jcamins_away Android version 2.3.4.
22:39 jcamins_away And this problem goes back at least 1.5 years.
22:40 wizzyrea O.o that's a bit extreme
22:43 jcamins_away Did the report work with the revised join?
22:43 * wizzyrea was waiting for it to run
22:43 wizzyrea let me check
22:50 wizzyrea no I don't think that worked
22:56 wizzyrea hm no, gonna have to revisit that tomorrow
23:06 Space_Librarian dearest wise and venerable denziens of koha. riddle me this: Where do I switch on the holds placed email?
23:07 Space_Librarian (before I break something again?)
