ooh, mod_pagespeed plugin for apache - looks helpful for Koha performance debugging |

"mod_pagespeed is an open-source Apache module that automatically optimizes web pages and resources on them. Optimization is done by rewriting the resources using filters that implement web performance best practices. Webmasters and web developers can use mod_pagespeed to improve the performance of their web pages when serving content with the Apache HTTP Server." |
00:35 |
|
mtj |
aah, its not for debugging, but does actual optimization before sending to browser |
00:36 |
|
mtj |
... could be a nice easy speed win |

Dear Vimal, I am using field 942$c commonly for BOOK (BK) item in my all records and making dividing items like reference book (REF), Reserve book (RB), Book bank (BB) in field 952. But when restricting the search in OPAC by Book only it shows also records which contain reference items only in field 952 which may be because of field 942$c where Book is ente |
04:00 |
|
|
druthb left #koha |
04:00 |
|
vkm |
So please advice me what to do to handle this problem? May i remove all field 942$c because 952 already contain information about each item type? Please see below my record structure and also let me know any solution/patch for auto indexing through cronjob. |

Hi #koha |
04:11 |
|
dgl-library |
Anybody here have experience successfully backing up the database? I'm having a problem. |
04:11 |
|
mtj |
dgl-library: just use mysqldump |
04:12 |
|
mtj |
$ mysqldump mydb > mydb.sql |
04:12 |
|
eythian |
dgl-library: I just use the backups that the koha-common package makes. |
04:13 |
|
mtj |
eythian++ even better :) |
04:16 |
|
dgl-library |
eythian: how do I make those backups? |
04:17 |
|
eythian |
run koha from the packages and it just happens |
04:17 |
|
Judit |
:) |
04:17 |
|
dgl-library |
I was trying mysqldump -u kohaadmin -p koha > mydatadump.sql … but it didn't like my username/password combination |
04:17 |
|
dgl-library |
eythian: I don't know what that means. where do I start? koha's staff client is up and running. |
04:18 |
|
eythian |
dgl-library: if you installed Koha from the debian packages, then backups are made for you automatically. |
04:18 |
|
eythian |
however, your command should work provided the username, password, and database name match your koha config. |
04:19 |
|
mtj |
dgl-library look in your koha-xml.conf file - for the user/password |
04:19 |
|
eythian |
If it's not working, then they don't match. |
04:19 |
|
dgl-library |
eythian: where are those backups stored? |
04:19 |
|
dgl-library |
mtj: thanks, I'll check |
04:19 |
|
eythian |
/var/spool/koha |
04:20 |
|
mtj |
dgl-library: i guess 'koha' is not your password |
04:20 |
|
eythian |
mtj: you're reading the command wrong |
04:21 |
|
mtj |
ah, yep ;) |
04:21 |
|
dgl-library |
mtj: it asks for the password in a dialogue after that :) |
04:21 |
|
mtj |
-p is 'prompt for password' |
04:21 |
|
mtj |
-p koha != -pkoha |
04:21 |
|
dgl-library |
mtj: but you were on to something… I realized koha is not the db name! |
04:22 |
|
mtj |
yep, all those details are in the .conf file |
04:23 |
|
dgl-library |
eythian: thanks, I found the backups you were talking about. very useful to know about! I didn't see /var/spool/koha mentioned in http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]i/Backing_up_Koha |
04:23 |
|
eythian |
I think it's documented on the package wiki page |
04:23 |
|
eythian |
but should be elsewhere too |
04:26 |
|
dgl-library |
mtj: so if I do it without -p, I'm not asked for my password, but I still get all the same info? |
04:26 |
|
dgl-library |
mtj: never mind, that didn't work either |
04:33 |
|
eythian |
dgl-library: your password is in your koha-conf.xml |

and then install virtualbox on that debian OS in the normal way. fewer problems. |

05:42 |
|
vkm |
yes commonly used in all recor at the time of importing |
05:42 |

Judit |
and in 952 you have an "extended" itype |
05:42 |

vkm |
yes |
05:42 |
|
Judit |
952y is the itemtype field in koha bydefault |
05:43 |
|
vkm |
e.g Book in 942 than if 3 copy of book we divided it as reference, reserve and again book in 952y |
05:44 |
|
vkm |
at searching in opac when restricting by Book item it shows reference item also |
05:44 |
|
vkm |
because may be Book i used in 942c even the biblio contain only reference |
05:45 |
|
Judit |
do you have itemtypes set up for reference and reserve? |
05:45 |
|
vkm |
yes everything ok |

if restrictes search by reference than result is fine only reference |

what do you need the information in 942 for? |
05:46 |
|
vkm |
but if i use restrict by Book it gives all item result i noticed |

Judit |
the itemtype tells you wjat it is, right? |

i think if there is no Book in 952y field than i have to use item REF/BB/RS etc. in 942c so searching by book only will not pick the data from 942c field |

hi |
06:49 |
|
vkm |
but i used book in 942c uniformly at the time of importin so when i search by item type book only it sows reference also |
06:50 |
|
eythian |
You could write a script that sets 942$c to be equal to whatever the item type really is. |
06:50 |
|
vkm |
there is two option either not to make 942 mandatory or not to use book if it contain item reference only etc |
06:51 |
|
vkm |
942c must be equal to 952y in my case but for searching book type only it does not |
06:52 |
|
vkm |
if i search for reference it pics only reference |
06:53 |
|
vkm |
so if i will make 942c also reference than it will work fine but loose uniformity of Book in 942c |
06:53 |

please advice |

what is difference between 942c field and 952y field |
06:55 |
|
eythian |
942c is at the biblio level, and provides the default item type. |
06:56 |
|
eythian |
952y is the item type for a specific item. |
06:57 |
|
dgl-library |
Bye for now #koha |
06:57 |
|
vkm |
than if i have two same book one for reference and one for BooK(general issue) what data should i fill in 942 and 952 |
06:58 |
|
vkm |
have defined BK for general book and REF for reference |
07:03 |
|
eythian |
whatever is most appropriate for the situation. |
07:03 |
|
eythian |
If you bought another one, what would it most likely be |
07:04 |
|
eythian |
that kind of thing, I don't think there's a rule. |
07:05 |
|
vkm |
actualy i wanted to use one biblio for many items type |
07:06 |
|
eythian |
that's not uncommon |
07:06 |
|
eythian |
942$c is used as more of a default than anything. |
07:07 |
|
vkm |
but 942c accepts only one which i want to use as a book type material uniformly, but if i use book by default in 942c even the book is reference in 952y field it creates problem in searching |
07:08 |
|
vkm |
when restricting search by item book it shows the reference also but there is no reference in 952y field |

You might want to do a course in library science, its a big field, authorities aren't specific just to koha |

I see that we'll need a professional librarian to make the setup, or look for a simpler application. |

First I tried with Invenio, and someone recommended me Koha better. |

Note that the spanish translation of the manual is incomplete, and for example there is not the "Implementation Checklist" chapter. |
08:43 |

well, i think you have to set EnhancedMessagingPreferences = Allow to see the checkboxes |
08:55 |
|
Oak |
but then users will be able to choose whether they receive overdue notices or not. |
08:55 |
|

if they should not choose you don't need the checkboxes |

then you just configure notices |

narcisgarcia: did you read the manual? If you plan on looking at every single syspref, you'd probably be best served by reading through the manual. |
12:06 |
|
narcisgarcia |
In the manual, basically is written the same explanation as in the administration interface. |
12:06 |
|
narcisgarcia |
"the names of patrons that have items checked out or on hold on detail pages or the "Place Hold" screen" |
12:06 |

12:08 |
|
jcamins_away |
Ah. I have no idea what that syspref does. |
12:08 |
|
jcamins_away |
I generally only change sysprefs when there's something I don't like about the way my system is working. |
12:08 |
|
narcisgarcia |
I don't completely understand when an option talks about showing or not showinf something in OPAC, if it refers to anyone or to logged users or to self logged user. |
12:09 |
|
jcamins_away |
It probably depends on the option. |
12:10 |

I don't want to anonymous visitors see any patron name in any place. |
12:11 |
|
magnuse |
narcisgarcia: that's the default |
12:11 |
|
narcisgarcia |
Ok, then I can suppose, with the defaults, that if some option is already set to show it's only for logged users. |
12:12 |
|

logged in users will see their own stuff, as a default no users can see what others have borrowed |

What's the best way to achieve this, please? |

I am thinking we have to write some code to link the SCMS (which is in Rails) and Koha? |
13:44 |

ArunRV: you could use LDAP, but it's not going to be simple. |
13:45 |
|
jcamins_away |
I believe there's also support for SSO in process, but, again, it's probably not going to be a particularly easy thing to set up. |

13:46 |

jcamins_away |
I just couldn't remember exactly who was doing it. |
13:47 |
|
ArunRV |
We had a similar situation with Moodle. The way we got around that was to figure out where users/passwords etc. are created/set in Moodle, and write hooks that basically updated Moodle DB whenever data was entered into our SCMS |
13:48 |
|
ArunRV |
AM I right in saying that all Koha code is (in a standard installation) present in /usr/share/koha? |
13:49 |
|
jcamins_away |
Yes, but don't make any code changes in a standard installation. |
13:49 |
|
jcamins_away |
You should use git if you're doing any code customizations. |
13:49 |
|
jcamins_away |
git? |

We didn't install it via git - I think we just downloaded the tar.gz file (if I'm not wrong), and followed the instructions on the koha website. |
13:51 |
|
ArunRV |
Would it be OK to create our own local repository of Git and push /usr/share/Koha to it, and modify it from there? |
13:54 |

Hello all. An issue with a fresh install of koha: when a user logs into the OPAC, they get this error: Date::Calc::PP::Add_Delta_Days(): Date::Calc::Add_Delta_Days(): not a valid date at /usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/opac-user.pl line 115 |
14:34 |

14:47 |

I assume your fresh install used at least some of the sample data |
14:47 |

possibly your patron doesn't have an expiry date? |

Thanks for waiting. Maybe this is a case of RTFM, but the problem seems to happen when I try to log into OPAC using the admin account - is this a valid thing to try? |

When I try to login OPAC with the installation admin account, I get "Software error" |
15:01 |
|
ArunRV |
And I can't seem to set the expiry date for admin. Not sure if this is even possible - don't know if the admin is a patron in the koha world. |
15:01 |
|
narciagrcia |
I suppose that it cannot be done, but the software doesn't expect this circumstance. |
15:02 |
|
narciagrcia |
I feel that only patrons can login to OPAC. |
15:02 |
|
wizzyrea |
ohh, ArunRV don't log in with the admin user. Create a new staff user and give that user superlibrarians |
15:02 |
|
wizzyrea |
only log in with the admin user for upgrades. |
15:02 |
|

installation admin account seems to be hardcoded apart, and it's not a patron. |

Except for upgrades, superlibrarians can do everything that does the admin? |
15:04 |
|
wizzyrea |
it's on the table to fix that - create a separate admin user at install time. |
15:04 |
|
wizzyrea |
narciagrcia: exactly. |
15:04 |
|
narciagrcia |
I was doing everything with the current admin account. |
15:04 |
|
wizzyrea |
the admin user should be used exactly once - to log in and define first library, create first patron category, with the goal of creating another superlibrarian. |
15:05 |
|
wizzyrea |
then you log out, and log back in as that user. :) |
15:05 |
|
wizzyrea |
it doesn't *hurt* anything to use the admin user, but operations that require, say, an expiry date or a branch defined won't work with the admin user. |
15:06 |
|
narcisgarcia |
The difficult for this is that installer people walks a large path before finding the users creation, its categories and permissions. |
15:06 |
|
wizzyrea |
yep, it's a problem, there's a push to fix it. |
15:06 |
|
wizzyrea |
mostly because we don't create a default library, we offer the *option* to |
15:06 |
|
wizzyrea |
which I think is weird. |
15:06 |
|
wizzyrea |
so some people think they'll be clever and not install the default library, then struggle. |

I installed a lot of optional components, but I didn't know about any superlibrarian registered. |

no, none of that happens now it's all proposed. |
15:08 |
|
narcisgarcia |
(and I only have seen the patrons I registered manually) |
15:08 |
|
wizzyrea |
you create a super librarian by going to the patron detail |
15:08 |
|
wizzyrea |
click more -> permissions -> check "superlibrarian" |
15:08 |
|
wizzyrea |
save it |

Create a new user with login/password, and go to more -> permissions -> and check "superlibrarian." Click save. Then log out and back in with that user. |
15:11 |

Is it possible to customize links in the home page for librarians? For example "Add item with default framework" |
15:22 |
|
wizzyrea |
yea, there are a couple of ways to handle that |
15:22 |
|
wizzyrea |
1. create a link in the header using the system preference "intranetnav" |
15:23 |
|
wizzyrea |
2. create a link in the footer using "intranetfooter" |
15:23 |
|
wizzyrea |
3. create a link in a news item, and display that on the home page of the intranet. |
15:23 |
|
wizzyrea |
4. use jquery to add it to the list of items currently there. |
15:23 |
|
wizzyrea |
(4 will be a less beautiful option in 3.8, however) |
15:24 |
|
narcisgarcia |
I prefer first option (header) |
15:25 |
|
wizzyrea |
yup, that's probably what I'd do too. |
15:25 |
|
wizzyrea |
that or a news item. |
15:28 |
|
narcisgarcia |
Ok, works perfectly with only an HTML <a> tag. |
15:30 |

oh sorry there's no intranetfooter, there's intranetmainuserblock |

Hello I am trying to understand Koha codebase related to creating/updating patron information. Could someone more familiar with the codebase and perl please point me to the location where the patron data is actually saved to the DB in members/memberentry.pl? |
17:00 |
|
oleonard |
Revised (again) fix for Bug 4048 now available |
17:01 |
|

ArunRV, most patron information is in the borrowers table. There are some related tables for messaging preferences, permissions, etc. |
17:01 |
|
ArunRV |
I can see that there is some data sanity checks happening followed by a template output - the code also has an unused $dbh variable. But where is the call to the DB actually made? |
17:02 |
|
cait |
ArunRV: I suspet somewhere in the C4 module for patrons |
17:02 |
|
jwagner |
Probably Members.pm |
17:02 |

Thanks jwagner, cait and oleonard - will take a look again! |
17:03 |

ArunRV: what are you trying to do? |
17:05 |
|
ArunRV |
Well. We have a school campus managmheent system - I want to synchronize the user information between that and Koha. LDAP is not an option since the system doesn't support it. My only option is to write some code to hook koha and the scms. |
17:05 |
|
cait |
have you checked if you could perhaps use the patron import tool` |
17:05 |
|
cait |
? |
17:06 |
|
cait |
i am not sure if there is a command line script for that yet - but it allows matching on a cardnumber or other id |
17:08 |
|
ArunRV |
I just googled patron import tool - ideally, the synchronization should not be a one time affair. If a student updates his/her password on the SCMS, it should get reflected in Koha as well. |
17:09 |
|
jwagner |
You might investigate SIP protocols -- I don't know if there is anything that would allow changing patron data, but there are already some routines in Koha that might be expanded. |
17:13 |
|
ArunRV |
If there's no ready made solution that caters precisely to this scenario, I'd rather write a small script to do the synching - this was fairly straightforward with Moodle. Was hoping it'd be the same for Koha. :-) |
17:14 |
|
cait |
ArunRV: yes, you could reimport the data every night |
17:14 |
|
cait |
ArunRV: the interface for the koha patron import is in the tools menu |
17:16 |
|
ArunRV |
Hmm.. I think that could work. Does the import feature allow updating records as well? |
17:16 |
|
cait |
yes |
17:16 |
|
cait |
you match on a unique elment - cardnumer or something you have defined in patron attributes to be unique |
17:17 |
|
cait |
and tell it what to do when it finds a match - overlay or ignore |
17:17 |
|
ArunRV |
That's great! I could simply import precisely the changed record when the update happens on the SCMS. WIll take a look at how it's done. |
17:18 |

Thanks a lot for pointing this out. |

Looks like it comes from having borrowers.debarred = 1 (instead of a date I presume?) |

the /bin/cat on my Unix is non-allergic, too. ;) |

now, if they can make one that is hypoallergenic, has fluffy hair but doesn't shed/puke hairballs |
19:38 |

19:39 |

"Whenever the cat wants breakfast" is an awfully expansive definition. |
19:39 |
|
wizzyrea |
as long as you're not keeping the cat in the bin, that's alright. |
19:39 |

I will ask the queen if we can stay at the castle, after all we host the second best know military tatoo in Basel, right, mveron? |
19:52 |

Does the castle belong to the queen? I think her residence is near the Parliament building? |

borrowers.debarred should be a date now eh? |

what problem were you having? |
20:03 |
|
wizzyrea |
because either I did it wrong, or I'm not seeing your issue |
20:04 |
|

oleonard: probably another error in kohastructure.sql, since you did a new installation. |
20:04 |
|
wizzyrea |
oh good point |
20:04 |
|
oleonard |
I think rather an import of an older-version borrowers table because kohastructure.sql looks correct |
20:05 |

also a good point. >.> |
