07:22 magnuse drojf: correct! ;-)
07:22 magnuse subtle and unimportant differences...
07:22 drojf yeah, jag snakker norsk :D
07:22 drojf its probably jeg though :D

07:24 magnuse it's ok, could have been warmer at this time of the year
07:26 drojf i have been there two years ago in march and there was a lot of snow
07:26 magnuse yay!
07:26 clrh hello
07:27 magnuse yeah, march is a good month for snow here...
07:27 magnuse bonjour clrh
07:27 ropuch Bodø - I'm pretty sure we pass through it on our way to Narvik
07:27 drojf hi clrh
07:28 * drojf would like a kohacon in the far north
07:29 magnuse ropuch: if you were driving north you wuold have to take a detour from Fauske to get to Bodø
07:29 * magnuse would like that too, some day
07:29 magnuse expensive, though...
07:30 ropuch You mean Nordkapp? ;-)
07:30 drojf not if we hunt and fish ourselves. and make our own alcohol :D
07:30 ropuch magnuse: I'm looking at the map of Norway atm, but I'm not sure relly
07:30 magnuse drojf: yeah, that would help
07:30 ropuch The name does ring a bell though
07:30 magnuse hehe
07:31 ropuch Our routes were strange back there ;>
07:31 magnuse hehe
07:32 ropuch And from all the words I could remember løk and hvitløk are the only ones ;>
07:33 drojf lol
07:33 ropuch Not sure why, iI bet I didn't eat garlic in Norway ;>
07:33 magnuse ropuch: those are certainly important words ;-)
07:33 ropuch hehe
07:34 magnuse why not? if you had pizza for example...
07:34 * magnuse wanders off to breakfast
07:34 ropuch But I remeber searching for "horseraddish" in dictionary as I wanted to explain something to the family we were working for
07:35 ropuch Ok, enough of strange memories
07:35 * ropuch submerges under a pile of books

08:24 mtj ... and a 'cc by 3.0' license which i ?think? is compatible with Koha's gpl-2
08:27 eythian joined #koha
08:28 kf hey eythian
08:28 eythian hallo
08:28 kf starting late? ;)
08:28 eythian drojf: hmm, they might not be, I'll have to check that.
08:29 eythian kf: this is early for me :)
08:29 eythian drojf: though, koha-common should be.
08:29 eythian so it might be a problem at your end :)
08:29 eythian what repo distro are you using?
08:30 drojf eythian: i had it on the raspi, but i changed the path there so it may be because of this (no idea). but then i remembered that i had it also in a virtual machine. it was squeeze on both
08:31 eythian hmm OK
08:32 eythian The repo should complain at me if I try to add an unsigned package I think
08:32 drojf changes path =  'deb http://debian.koha-community.org/koha dists/squeeze/main/binary-i386/' to access the directory directly. that may lead me around the key file, not sure
08:33 eythian it might, I don't know
08:34 drojf but i did not do that on the virtual machine anyway. can i somehow see if i imported the key there?
08:35 eythian apt-key list I think
08:37 drojf i got a key from you there
08:38 drojf if nobody else has this it may just be something on my end, don't know
08:39 eythian Yeah, I dunno. Nobody else has reported it, but that's not really a good test :)
08:39 eythian I haven't noticed it, but my setup is a bit more custom, so I might not.
08:39 drojf1 joined #koha

09:04 mbalmer joined #koha
09:14 eythian @later tell jcamins re bz8268, we have a patch that does that internally (though everything was hardcoded so it wasn't suitable for upstreaming.)
09:14 huginn eythian: The operation succeeded.
09:16 kf bug 8268
09:16 wahanui bug 8268 is ready for my sign off!
09:16 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8268 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, jcamins, Needs Signoff , Koha should offer way to backup entire db
09:16 mbalmer 8268 shoud not be signed off.
09:16 mbalmer it is mysql only.
09:17 mbalmer a better should be found to make it portable.
09:17 eythian mbalmer: 8268 should be signed off
09:17 eythian because it's more important to have it then to have it portable.
09:17 eythian *than
09:18 eythian there is no infrastructure for supporting other databases, so it's not possible to implement it generally without doing that.
09:18 mbalmer no, it should be done right.
09:18 mbalmer because it is very easy to do it right.
09:19 eythian no it isn't
09:19 eythian it integrates with the packaging system
09:19 mbalmer you can easily add a switch statement in the backup script
09:19 eythian the packaging system currently expects mysql
09:19 eythian that said, the patch isn't really mysql dependent
09:19 magnuse yeah, we can't reject good functionality because koha might be able to support more databases some time in the future
09:19 eythian the more I look at it
09:20 mbalmer just add a switch around the call of mysqldump.
09:20 mbalmer so pg_dump can be added.
09:20 eythian there is no point putting a switch in when there's nothing to switch on
09:20 magnuse +1
09:20 eythian currently the packages integrated with debian's mysql management, all that would have to be changed anyway
09:20 eythian it's not going to be done for this patch
09:20 mbalmer support postgresql is a goal and it was said that no new mysql only functionality should go in.
09:21 eythian this isn't new mysql only functionality
09:21 eythian the only mention of mysql is where it modifies an already existing command line
09:21 mbalmer so what is the problem with debian packaging?  I could fix that, I guess (I do a lot of debian/ubuntu packaging)
09:22 mbalmer oops, I changed the status, changed it back now
09:22 eythian debian has a lot of nice hooks that make it easy to work with mysql (e.g. creating dbs, users, etc.) we'd need to find/implement the equivalent for pg
09:23 mbalmer ok, mysqldump was there before your patch.  I no longer oppose…  (but will of course come back to this later)
09:24 mbalmer you mean create a DB at install time?  sounds easy.  maybe an additional package for "PostgreSQL in Koha", so that the unaltered PostgreSQL Debian/Ubuntu package stll can be used.
09:25 eythian mbalmer: no, not install time. When you go 'koha-create' it needs to create db, create user, set up permissions, populate.
09:25 eythian None of that should be terrible, but doing it will be a moderate amount of work.
09:25 eythian and right now untestable as koha itself doesn't support pg
09:26 mbalmer sure, but creating the database is the first step to bring pg support.
09:26 mbalmer aka, that is where I will eventually start from, the installer etc.
09:26 eythian the regular installer doesn't create databases...
09:27 mbalmer well, I guess you know what I mean.
09:28 mbalmer currently I am occupied with MARC stuff (with dpavlin}…   so it will take time
09:28 mbalmer the day will come when I can work fulltime on Koha.
09:31 neo joined #koha
09:33 mbalmer hmm, the database password in plain in a script...
09:40 eythian huh?
09:41 mbalmer if I'm not mistaken, backup.sh calls mysqldump with the '-p' option, passing the password
09:43 mbalmer to make it worse, the script ist world-readable
09:43 eythian ehm
09:44 eythian oh
09:44 eythian I (the packages) don't use that.
09:44 eythian It should extract it from the config file.
09:45 eythian that's what koha-dump does
09:45 mbalmer yes.
09:46 eythian the problem is, there wasn't really a nice way to extract it from the config file. The packages depend on xmlstarlet to do that, but regular koha doesn't.
09:46 mbalmer well, the file should at least be mode 0600
09:47 mbalmer but that would still the password in the process list.
09:47 * eythian wonders how many koha sites have a world readable koha-conf.xml anyway
09:48 eythian 1468 pts/0    S+     0:00 mysql --host=localhost --user=koha_dev --password=x xxxxxx koha_dev
09:48 eythian no it doesn't
09:48 eythian mysql overwrites it.
09:48 mtj yep, thats the one, eythian ... ;)
09:48 eythian (there is a moment before it doesn't)
09:48 mbalmer exactly.
09:48 eythian a better solution would be to generate a config file.
09:48 eythian patches welcome.
09:49 mbalmer not very secure…
09:49 mbalmer can't mysql take the password from a file?
09:49 mbalmer my.cnf?
09:49 eythian <eythian> a better solution would be to generate a config file.
09:49 mbalmer so you meant the mysql config file, not a backup.sh config file, yes, makes sense
09:50 mbalmer does Koha uses MySQL stored procedures anywhere?
09:51 eythian well, I'd probably make a temp one, but basically you provide host, user, password, etc. and then specify to use that config for options.
09:51 eythian oh yes, everywhere.
09:51 eythian (I kid)
09:52 mbalmer because if it did, mysqldump needs an option to dump procedures, it normalls does not dump then (surprise, surprise, when you have to rstore…. ;)
09:56 kf no procedures
09:56 mbalmer that's good (for the backup) then
09:56 liw mmm, backups

11:11 kf ah
11:11 kf wrong side of the lake
11:11 kf fun or work?
11:11 mbalmer actually the german side is nice, because you see the alps.
11:11 mbalmer first work, then fun ;)
11:12 mbalmer I'm the secretary of www.swiss-artg.ch, so I have to be at our booth there..
11:13 kf ah
11:13 mbalmer Konstanz will be in september, looking forward to that one.
11:14 neo_ joined #koha
11:14 kf it's a nice city
11:14 kf but the tourists... ;)
11:14 mbalmer hehe, I will be one of them ;P
11:15 kf eythian: I was in the city on saturday before edinburgh and heard lots of english, it was scary. you will  have no problems at all :)
11:15 eythian heh
11:15 kf and chinese and japanese
11:17 eythian http://www.stuff.co.nz/southla[…]mes/news/7131567/ <-- kf, this reminded me of you
11:18 kf heh
11:18 kf "iwis need to speak slower and cut the slang when talking to migrants, as  the garbled way we communicate is scaring them off community  involvement, "
11:20 kf eythian: I hope 8 weeks of practice will slow you down a bit until you reach Konstanz :)
11:21 eythian kf: I'm in England right now. This isn't a problem I'm having here :)
11:21 kf hmpf.
11:21 * kf can't believe that :)
11:22 mbalmer eythian, joining the BIS congress ???  or "just" visiting kf?
11:22 kf eythian: the comments on the article are not nice :(
11:22 eythian BIS?
11:22 eythian kf: oh, don't read the comments on that site
11:22 eythian it's like youtube
11:22 kf a confrence, but taking place after you have left, in september
11:22 eythian ah right, then no
11:23 mbalmer eythian, http://www.bis.info/

11:24 mbalmer and, worse, no itialian and no roman
11:24 mbalmer (since they target siwss librraries)
11:25 mbalmer eythian, be happy it' not word only...
11:25 eythian heh
11:25 eythian but also, I'd probably struggle with the language. I don't anticipate my French nor German being anything special by that stage.
11:25 jcamins_away eythian: I stole your patch
11:26 eythian jcamins_away: give it back! :)
11:26 mbalmer eythian, besides of that, I doubt it would be very intersting for you, anyways
11:28 kylemhall bug 8267 needs a sign-off. Fixes the borked overdues script.
11:28 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8267 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, Needs Signoff , Overdue notices not working
11:28 jcamins mbalmer: backup.sh does not actually work. I just made it a little less non-working.
11:34 eythian It does look more like a proof of concept than anything.
11:34 jcamins I figure it's a sample.

11:56 kf oleonard: but that is probably broken because of the recent jquery updates
11:56 oleonard Yeah, that's already too out of date :(
11:56 kf perhaps if you tell me next time you have time to work on that
11:56 kf and I test quickly after that

15:13 eythian neo_: the zebraqueue_daemon thing doesn't work as far as I know
15:13 neo_ ohh...  ok
15:14 eythian rebuild_zebra (or koha-rebuild-zebra if you're on the debian packages) is the recommended way.
15:14 neo_ i am wondering that , i was running this from yesterday  and have some records
15:14 neo_ ok
15:14 neo_ so i have to use the cron for scheduling this , right ?
15:15 neo_ remove zebraqueue_daemon.pl  from the startup scripts ?

15:41 chris_n looks like it was dropped from some unspecified height
15:42 chris_n we'll file a claim on it for sure

15:47 oleonard Man it's quiet around here these days
15:48 jcamins Grrr.
15:48 jcamins This week has the most wonderful selection at the CSA.
15:48 oleonard Except for jcamins stomach rumbling
15:48 drojf joined #koha
15:49 jcamins We only get every other week, which means I don't get the fennel, arugula, romaine, Boston lettuce, etc.
15:49 melia joined #koha
15:49 * jcamins hopes they have fennel next week.
15:50 jcamins Mmm. Fennel.
15:50 jcamins Fennel...
15:50 * jcamins will be buying fennel on the way home.
15:50 kf :)
15:51 oleonard "C4::Output version 3.02 required--this is only version 3.07.00.049 at /home/oleonard/kohaclone/tags/review.pl"
15:51 jcamins oleonard: that doesn't seem quite right.
15:52 oleonard Indeed.
15:52 drojf dpavlin: staff client works too, it's magic :)
15:52 wizzyrea WHAT NO FENNEL
15:52 jcamins drojf: on the raspberry pi?
15:52 drojf yes
15:52 drojf plack rocks
15:53 jcamins wizzyrea: I know
15:53 jcamins drojf++
15:53 jcamins plack++
15:53 chris_n oooo... raspberry pi
15:53 * jcamins wants a raspberry pi, too. It would make a *perfect* backup server.
15:53 chris_n they're cheap
15:53 chris_n buy two
15:53 drojf jcamins: have you ordered one?
15:53 jcamins Not yet.
15:53 eythian I think there will be better, cheaper, and less proprietary things coming out in the near future.
15:53 drojf eythian: i hope so
15:53 jcamins ^^ that's my hope!
15:53 * chris_n too
15:54 oleonard Can anyone reproduce that error from /tags/review.pl?
15:54 eythian (there have been for ages, but rasberry pi seemed to start a bit of a wave)
15:54 drojf eythian: becaiuse its cheap
15:54 jcamins However, the reason I haven't ordered a raspberry pi yet is that until I have a router than can do useful traffic shaping/QoS, the backup server idea isn't really tenable.
15:55 drojf jcamins: get two, make one a router ;)
15:55 jcamins drojf: it only has one ethernet port.
15:56 jcamins I was thinking of an ALIX2d13 for router.
15:56 drojf plug in a wifi stick
15:56 jcamins drojf: and require all my traffic to go over wifi? Never!
15:56 drojf heh
15:57 * jcamins has a nice WAP which plugged into an uplink port on the switch which is plugged into the router.
15:58 jcamins I've been thinking about making the wireless network a separate subnet.
15:59 * jcamins never got over his distrust of 802.11b.
16:00 eythian you don't have to use 802.11b...
16:00 eythian we're in the future now, you know :)
16:01 drojf lol
16:01 jcamins eythian: and the future is very cool. But wifi=802.11b.
16:01 jcamins And 802.11b=slow, painfully, and error-prone.
16:02 * eythian doesn't
16:02 * eythian uses 802.11g
16:02 eythian and .11n where he can
16:02 Guillaume joined #koha
16:02 jcamins eythian: yeah, my wireless network is 802.11n/a (dual band).
16:03 eythian My wrt can't do 5GHz, and I haven't got around to setting up my router that can (and it can't bridge, so I'd need to replace the firmware on it, etc etc)
16:04 eythian But it'll happen one day!
16:07 jcamins chris_n: maybe instead of a Xeon server you should get several dozen raspberry pis, and use Galera+Plack+load balancing.
16:07 jcamins :D
16:09 jcamins Get forty: 20 web servers, 10 Zebra servers, 10 MySQL servers.
16:10 Guillaume left #koha
16:11 * chris_n thinks jcamins has had too many brownies today
16:11 jcamins chris_n: hehe. Cinnamon bread + a terrible cold.
16:11 * eythian does not fancy the idea of clustering zebra
16:11 chris_n would that be a herd of zebras?
16:12 * chris_n imagines the feed bill would get pretty costly quick
16:12 eythian depends what OS you're running. Could be a hurd.
16:12 chris_n lol
16:16 drojf :D
16:39 neo_ search was giving no results in the first place
16:39 neo_ modulePath was incorrect in  /etc/koha/zebradb/*.cfg
16:40 neo_ it was /usr/lib/idzebra-2.0/modules/  ,  our system is a 64 bit
16:41 jcamins neo_: I expect you will run into a lot of problems with that, since all the configuration files are assuming a Debian-style filesystem layout.
16:41 neo_ corrected and working fine now
16:41 kf Edit: Now with proper translatability, date formatting, first day of the week handling, and RTL support.  << oleonard++
16:41 neo_ there is no  /usr/lib64/   in Debian ?
16:41 jcamins Edit what?
16:41 oleonard Except I realized I made a mistake in the patch so I'm preparing a revised revision
16:41 jcamins neo_: nope.
16:42 eythian lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root      3 mei 10 08:21 lib64 -> lib
16:42 neo_ ohh... ok
16:42 liw Debian is building multiarch, though, which is complicating things
16:43 eythian yeah
16:43 oleonard Okay, that's better.
16:43 eythian I'm not totally sure how that works
16:43 neo_ can we have this different modulePath in these .cfg
16:44 wajasu joined #koha
16:44 jcamins neo_: you can edit it however you need to. Just don't rerun the installation to avoid overwriting your modified files (and for goodness' sake, back up the working configuration!).
16:44 neo_ sure jcamins
16:45 jcamins Provided the configuration files point to real paths, I don't think Koha or its dependencies make many assumptions about file location.
16:45 jcamins Other than Perl.
16:46 jcamins (which is assumed to be at /usr/bin/perl)
16:54 jcamins ago43: did you update the wrong bug? The problem in bug 7995 is going to be in the offline circ section.

16:55 ago43 hi, jcamins.  yes, you are correct.  after i submitted my first comment it moved to the next issue.
16:55 kf ago43: ah, you can deactivate that :)
16:55 ago43 sorry about that, I'll correct it right now.  and thanks for alerting me.
16:55 kf ago43: check the preferences in bugzilla - I hate that is does that standard
16:55 ago43 cool.  thanks, kf!
16:55 kf ago43: you can tell it to stay on the same bug aftre saving
16:56 jcamins ago43: no problem. I was just a bit confused by the juxtaposition of the subject and the message.

17:26 jcamins I think I will remove zebraqueue_daemon before 3.6.6.
17:26 wizzyrea and from the documentation too :/
17:26 jcamins wizzyrea: it was removed from the documentation 3.8 and 3.10.
17:27 wizzyrea oki cool
17:27 jcamins But since without fail everyone ignores the instructions to use rebuild_zebra in favor of the non-working zebraqueue_daemon, it seems like it would be a good idea to make that impossible.
17:28 jcamins And 50% of those people then argue with me when I tell them to stop using it.
17:28 wizzyrea cron is scary
17:28 wizzyrea it's like the hulk
17:28 wizzyrea you wouldn't like it when it's angry.
17:29 jcamins Hehe.
17:29 wizzyrea or rather, that's what people's perception is
17:29 wizzyrea though I'm not sure something called a "daemon" is much friendlier.
17:30 wajasu kill, abort, and even fork for that matter :)
17:35 jcamins It is my considered opinion that I do not like ContentDM much.
17:37 jcamins It is very counterintuitive.

18:27 wajasu PRoot  looks like another interesting way to build a chrooted test environment, with host files "bind mounted" into the chrooted environment.
18:27 neo_ joined #koha
18:28 wajasu maybe a proot perl/koha script might be in order to support more distributions. example: http://ivoire.dinauz.org/blog/[…]aking-VLC-at-home
18:29 jcamins wajasu: ooh, -B looks like what I need.
18:30 wajasu yup
18:30 jcamins wajasu: but Koha itself does not actually require any cross-compilation.
18:31 jcamins wajasu: ohh, I just realized what you meant. You could set up a PRoot with, say, CentOS.
18:31 wajasu we can mount ind out git repo, our network, etc.  then no sshfs overhead
18:31 wajasu yes
18:32 wajasu and grab the openvz distributions http://software.opensuse.org/d[…]ent&package=proot
18:32 * oleonard thinks his universal translator must be on the fritz
18:33 jcamins wajasu: why OpenVZ? Isn't the point of proot that you shouldn't need it?
18:33 wajasu those dists are available to grab, so we don't have to build them.  i.e. debootstrap, for other dists.
18:34 jcamins Oh, I understand now.
18:34 wajasu saves time.  you grab, then untar from host os.
18:34 jcamins Right.
18:35 jcamins And with proot, I could greatly simplify my release process.
18:35 jcamins Where simplify = add a lot more steps
18:35 wajasu i used to use schroot, which is a different option.
18:36 * jcamins looks up schroot.
18:36 jcamins Ah.
18:37 wajasu the other option is lxc containers, which libvirt supports.  so that is why i was making the shell scripts with libvirt.
18:38 jcamins Intriguing. dpavlin is one of the LXC people.
18:39 wajasu i also has things set up with schroot, and either aufs or unionfs, so i could start with a base OS/dist, and just layer on top without copy/build but that more sophisticated set up. but saves space.
18:40 jcamins For my release work, I would prefer something with slightly less isolation than lxc.
18:43 wajasu my setup is using /tmp in tmpfs, and the VM build is 5minutes non-interactive.
18:43 jcamins Binding an install script into the proot would be perfect.
18:43 wajasu yes.
18:44 jcamins Then the overall script can run the test directly and retrieve any log output easily.
18:45 wajasu and if you can do it in /tmp  tmpfs, with local debian package repo/proxies (possible in the /tmp) you could build  a mahine fast.
18:48 jcamins wahanui: also, apt-proxy.
18:48 wahanui jcamins: sorry...
18:48 jcamins wajasu: I meant that for you.
18:49 wajasu i was hoping the workflow would be:  1) build machine, 2) git branch select/setup/koha dev non-interactive, 3) grab patch (or by id) and apply, 3) test
18:50 wajasu jacmins: apt-proxy,thanks
18:51 jcamins I should set that up.
18:54 wajasu and also, if we could build deb packages without the fakeroot over mounted filesystem, having plenty of host os disk space.
18:55 jcamins wajasu: yeah, if pbuilder could be persuaded to use proot and userspace, that would be helpful.
18:59 wajasu with my VM located in tmpfs (and large enough), i  just pbuilder create, mounted with sshfs, cd into the mounted kohaclone, then debian/build-git-snapshot,.
18:59 jcamins It would also be helpful if I could figure out how to put all of pbuilder on tmpfs.
18:59 maximep left #koha
19:00 wajasu the other day, my problem with my build-git-snapshot was i had a mysql db backup inthe kohaclone, and so it got added to the koha-tar.
19:00 jcamins (without needing to run a separate VM)
19:03 wajasu i am not running debian as my host os, but you could run pbuilder and maybe edit /etc/pbuilderrc to have BUILDPLACE="/tmp/kohaplace"
19:03 jcamins Oooh.
19:03 jcamins Thanks.
19:04 wajasu i was trying that over the sshfs, but i got hung up with fakeroot, and the untar trying to set uid=0,
19:05 wajasu and i believe the current versions of openssh support hardlinks.
19:06 wajasu what i like about the VMs is that they are "migratable" with the libvirt tools, to VPS providers, and such.
19:06 hdl joined #koha
19:08 wajasu the plack spec is interesting, because if one wrote a plack implementation upon openstack, or aws, etc, things could get interesting. but thats beyond this forum.
19:10 wajasu i thought is one had a plack impementation with PLjava, maybe the perl folks could leverage services in the JVM world (scala, groovy).
19:10 wajasu i only mention this, since solr might bring JVM into the mix.
19:10 jcamins Interesting.
19:11 * jcamins doesn't know much -- well, anything, really -- about this.
19:11 jcamins My Java experience was mostly pre-Java2.
19:12 ago43 Hi, All: is there a reason why cover images will  appear on the Holdings tab only sometimes, but will always appear on the Images tab?   This is in the staff-client koha/catalogue/detail.pl?biblionumberfor
19:12 jcamins ago43: cover images should never appear on the holdings tab.
19:13 jcamins ago43: check your intranetuserjs.
19:13 jcamins ago43: wait, didn't we have this discussion?
19:13 ago43 I mis-placed a bug update for patron images.
19:13 jcamins And wizzyrea was able to reproduce it with some crazy JS.
19:14 jcamins ago43: I know. I mean, didn't we have this discussion last week?
19:14 ago43 jcamins: I don't think so.
19:14 jcamins Huh.
19:14 jcamins Deja vu.
19:14 maximep joined #koha
19:14 ago43 yeah, I hope not because then I'm missing a LOT.
19:14 oleonard jcamins: Are you thinking of the IE cover image bug?
19:15 ago43 nope, it's not IE.
19:15 jcamins oleonard: no, I remember talking about that one.
19:15 jcamins I mean, I remember what the actual problem was.
19:15 jcamins Unlike this, where I have a recollection of wizzyrea finding some errant JS.
19:16 wizzyrea huh?
19:16 ago43 thanks.  I'll dig into this some more to see what I can find.
19:16 wizzyrea i don't remember this either
19:16 jcamins Hm.
19:16 jcamins Yeah, just me.
19:16 * jcamins uses this as an excuse to declare his day over in fifteen minutes.
19:17 wizzyrea images tab?!
19:17 wizzyrea what is the URL of the page you are looking at
19:17 wizzyrea and
19:17 oleonard wizzyrea: Local cover images in the staff client
19:17 wizzyrea the first question?
19:17 wahanui "What are you trying to do?"  "What is the goal?" or "What problem are you experiencing?"
19:18 jcamins wizzyrea: in the details page. They upgraded to 3.8.
19:18 jcamins ago43: and just to confirm, you are looking at an example where the *local* cover image is showing up on the holdings tab?
19:19 jcamins Nice: http://www.forbes.com/sites/ja[…]ees-for-jobs-2/2/
19:19 jcamins And by nice I mean "ouch."
19:21 wizzyrea ago43: do they have other expanded content options on?
19:21 wizzyrea jcamins: I'm looking at an example where the image only shows on the images tab.
19:21 ago43 amazon
19:21 wizzyrea i bet you are seeing the amazon cover on the holdings tab
19:21 wizzyrea and the local cover on the images tab.
19:21 ago43 okay.  that makes sense.
19:21 jcamins wizzyrea: yes, that's what it is supposed to do, and the only thing I've ever seen it do.
19:22 wizzyrea not a bug :)
19:22 jcamins Having it show up anywhere but the Images tab is all new to me.
19:22 wizzyrea "working as intended"
19:22 ago43 cool.  Thanks very much!
19:22 wizzyrea jcamins: just curious why don't local cover images usurp all other kinds of cover images?
19:23 jcamins wizzyrea: 'cause kmkale hasn't finished that yet. :)
19:24 wizzyrea ah
19:24 jcamins And almost all my clients are local cover image-only.
19:24 * jcamins now has one client using Amazon, too.
19:24 wizzyrea so the amazon ones would show on the holdings tab, and the local image only in the images tab.
19:25 wizzyrea ago43: you could verify that by checking hte source of the image you are seeing.
19:25 wizzyrea on the holdings tab.
19:25 oleonard why would the cover show on the holdings tab?
19:25 wizzyrea …because they told it to?
19:26 jcamins oleonard: someone wanted it to?
19:26 jcamins I don't really know, actually.
19:26 wizzyrea well not "on the tab"
19:26 ago43 yup, that one is from Amazon.
19:26 wizzyrea up at the top, by the bib info
19:26 oleonard I want cookies delivered daily to my desk but it doesn't mean it happens :P
19:27 jcamins oleonard: ooh, I want that, too.
19:27 * wizzyrea declines cookies
19:27 * jcamins looks shiftily at wizzyrea's plate of cookies, tosses half to oleonard, and scampers off with his share.
19:28 wizzyrea fine by me ;)
19:28 oleonard Are you being dietarily virtuous wizzyrea?
19:28 wizzyrea I don't really eat sweets often anymore
19:29 wizzyrea they are a "sometimes treat"

22:39 * jcamins knows which of those bids he'll be voting for.
