00:34 * chris_n looks in
00:34 jcamins chris_n: I had a question for you.
00:35 jcamins C4::Barcodes.
00:35 jcamins What is it for?
00:35 * chris_n has no idea
00:35 chris_n never used it that I recall
00:35 jcamins Really? It's copyright FBC.
00:35 chris_n ich!
00:35 * chris_n goes off to look
00:35 jcamins I think...
00:36 jcamins Ah, no, maybe not.
00:36 jcamins Maybe it's barcode.pl that was copyright FBC.
00:36 chris_n hmm
00:36 chris_n try the infamous LibLime
00:37 jcamins Yeah.
00:37 chris_n lemme look some more though
00:37 jcamins I came across *something* relating to barcodes that was copyright FBC, and I couldn't figure out what it was for.
00:37 jcamins Clearly I need to keep notes, though.
00:37 chris_n ahh
00:37 chris_n this generates barcode numbers for the barcode plugin
00:38 chris_n and I have touched it.... a very long time ago, and in galaxy far, far away
00:38 chris_n ;-)
00:39 chris_n what you see there at present is a total rewrite of the old code by atz (joe atzberger) moving it to more OO style
00:40 * chris_n wonders what the code base would say if it could talk
00:40 jcamins Heh.
00:40 chris_n jcamins: most of the labels/pcard stuff is copyrighted by FBC and it does have some barcode foo in it
00:40 jcamins "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH​HHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ?
00:40 * chris_n holds on
00:41 chris_n oh
00:41 chris_n that's what the code would say?
00:41 jcamins Yes.
00:41 jcamins :)
00:41 chris_n hehe
00:42 * chris_n will now right 100x's on the chalkboard: I will add my AAA server configuration to my nightly backup job.
00:42 * chris_n hates getting spanked by hdd failures
00:43 jcamins Long night ahead of you?
00:44 chris_n no, but its been a long last week
00:44 chris_n I took advantage of the disaster to get rid of the last w2k server on site
00:44 jcamins \o/
00:45 chris_n I replaced it with ubuntu quantal + samba 3.6.6
00:45 chris_n the samba build on precision is buggy
00:46 jcamins Quantal?
00:46 jcamins Ah.
00:46 chris_n but rebuilding user accounts, groups, etc from scratch is for the birds
00:47 chris_n the crash left the file server directory structure orphaned from a perms standpoint
00:47 jcamins Ouch.
00:47 chris_n fixing the standard *nix perms was not bad with 'find'
00:47 chris_n but the *nix acls were another story altogether :-P
00:49 * chris_n wanders off to re-join xp clients to the new domain....

03:13 Judit hi
03:13 Judit http://koha-community.org/ is down?
03:13 mtompset joined #koha
03:14 mtompset Greetings, #koha.
03:14 ago43 joined #koha
03:15 dcook Looks like, Judit
03:15 dcook I was just about to ask the same thing ;)
03:18 mtompset I hate arriving in the middle of a conversation.
03:18 mtompset :)
03:19 rangi probably amazon again
03:20 dcook Amazon?
03:20 rangi its hosted in aws
03:21 rangi NEKLS look after it, but its in the cloud
03:21 rangi NEKLS?
03:21 wahanui NEKLS is using those
03:21 rangi wahanui: forget NEKLS
03:21 wahanui rangi: I forgot nekls
03:21 dcook Ahh
03:21 rangi NEKLS is North East Kansas Library Service
03:21 rangi (i cant ping it)
03:21 mtompset mailing lists?
03:21 wahanui mailing lists are at http://koha-community.org/supp[…]ha-mailing-lists/
03:21 dcook Google search brings it all up pretty quickly
03:21 dcook Interesting
03:22 wahanui Interesting is sometimes good and sometimes bad
03:22 dcook True
03:22 dcook Darn, I was half hoping to get it going..
03:22 rangi they arent hosted in the same place
03:22 dcook By chance, does anyone know if the marc subfield structure data is cached in older versions of Koha such as 3.2?
03:23 dcook Mmm, sorry, I meant the info about it. Rather than the site
03:23 rangi we have done a pretty good job of spreading stuff around
03:23 rangi http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]te_Administration
03:25 rangi so we occassionally lose bits but never all of it, the koha.org debacle showed how important spreading things around are, and the dns is controlled by a charitable trust ... we learn from our history :)
03:26 rangi its 10.30pm in kansas, so probably will be out for a few hours if it does need hands on stuff
03:26 dcook :)
03:26 dcook Mmm, makes sense
03:26 * dcook is a fan of decentralization
03:26 dcook Hmm, maybe I shouldn't have written that...
03:26 mtompset We are borg, you will be assimilated. :)
03:26 dcook So long as I can vote and have health care, I'm pretty happy
03:27 dcook But back to my question...there really shouldn't be any reason why that data is being cached, right?
03:28 rangi nope dcook
03:28 dcook Hmm, that's what I thought. Thanks, rangi
03:28 dcook In retrospect, one of my test cases already proved that, lol
03:28 rangi but for giggles, just make sure you dont have memcached running
03:29 dcook Well, we have memcached running for our 3.8 installs
03:30 rangi right, it might be that it is being cached but not cleared in 3.2 .. easy way to tell
03:30 dcook How might that be? I'd love to check
03:30 rangi look at C4/Biblio.pm
03:31 rangi does it have
03:31 rangi memoize_memcached( 'GetMarcStructure'
03:31 rangi round line 107
03:32 dcook line 138, it seems
03:32 rangi right, so yep it is being cached
03:32 dcook Hmm
03:33 dcook But when I look at my test case, it has the same code, but it doesn't seem to be cached
03:33 rangi if memcached is switched on in the conf file that is
03:33 mtompset Is there any documentation on the wiki that explains how to set up a memcache server?
03:33 rangi its pretty much outside the scope of Koha
03:34 rangi theres nothing special to do with koha in setting it up
03:34 rangi so linking to a page about memcached would be better imho
03:34 dcook Make sense
03:34 rangi else its something else we have to maintain
03:34 dcook In terms of the conf file, which one might that be?
03:34 rangi im just checking out a 3.2.x
03:34 rangi what version is it dcook ?
03:35 dcook 3.02.02.000
03:35 dcook I'm running two different ones, and they have different results, but I'm quite sure they have the same code...
03:35 dcook The conf files would be different though, so I'm thinking that might be where it is
03:36 rangi yeah
03:36 rangi should be near the bottom in a <memcached> bit
03:36 rangi <memcached_servers>__MEMCACHED​_SERVERS__</memcached_servers> <memcached_namespace>__MEMCACHED_​NAMESPACE__</memcached_namespace>
03:37 dcook Yep, and there it is
03:37 dcook Perfect. Thank you once again, Chris
03:37 dcook When I do finally get over to Wellington, I believe that I owe you quite a few drinks ;)
03:38 dcook I figured that it had to be caching in the memcached servers...
03:38 dcook But when we did a lookup, there wasn't anything about the 3.2 installs. I wonder if we were looking at a different namespace.
03:38 * dcook trots off to investigate

03:56 mtompset @karma rangi
03:56 huginn mtompset: Karma for "rangi" has been increased 626 times and decreased 5 times for a total karma of 621.
03:56 mtompset What did you do wrong, rangi? ;)
03:56 mtompset @karma mtompset
03:56 huginn mtompset: Karma for "mtompset" has been increased 17 times and decreased 1 time for a total karma of 16.
03:57 dcook Relatively speaking, I think rangi's ratio is rather unparallele
03:57 dcook d
03:57 * mtompset blames drojf for the -1. :P
03:57 rangi heh
03:57 dcook @karma dcook
03:57 huginn dcook: Karma for "dcook" has been increased 2 times and decreased 0 times for a total karma of 2.
03:57 dcook Slowly but surely ;)
03:57 rangi probably making bad jokes
03:57 mtompset dcook++
03:58 mtompset For being an active contributor. :)
03:58 dcook Thanks, mtompset
03:58 mtompset Oh, dcook ... you're running on RPM-based machines, right?
03:58 rangi http://blog.bigballofwax.co.nz[…]no-not-like-that/
03:59 dcook To the best of my knowledge, mtompset
03:59 rangi any typoes id be happy to hear about
03:59 mtompset I'll critique it later, rangi. :)
04:00 mtompset Do I have a script for you!
04:00 mtompset Let me see if I can find it. :)
04:00 dcook Intriguing
04:01 dcook I have noticed your love of unit testing, but I admit that I don't know anything about it
04:01 mtompset As you may be aware I was working on check_deps.sh
04:01 dcook I could help with those typos though
04:01 mtompset Well, I have a baby version for yum. :)
04:01 dcook I vaguely remember this, yes :P
04:02 mtompset how would you like to get it?
04:02 mtompset This really isn't bugzilla worthy.
04:03 dcook Hmm, it's probably something that I'd rather look at a bit later
04:03 dcook At the moment, I'm just about to pop off for lunch
04:03 mtompset Ooo... lunch. good idea.
04:03 mtompset After lunch then.
04:04 dcook Sure.
04:05 dcook Thanks again for your help before, rangi :)
04:09 cait joined #koha
04:09 mtompset Greetings, cait.
04:09 cait hi mtompset
04:11 rangi hi cait
04:12 cait hi rangi
04:13 Judit joined #koha
04:16 rangi sites back
04:19 mtompset YAY! There's the mailing list page.
04:23 mtompset rangi: The only things I was wondering about were some commas like "Yes, you should rewrite it, NO! Not like that!" -- should that be a comma before the 'NO!'?
04:23 mtompset Oh, and "Have you run the xt/tt_valid.t on that?" -- is that supposed to be xt?
04:24 mtompset and “Oh I wrote a unit test for that” is missing a period.
04:24 ibeardsl1e and probably a "," after the "Oh" ?
04:25 mtompset Or an exclamation point.
04:25 rangi yep that should be xt
04:26 rangi changing the others now
04:26 mtompset In short, http://blog.bigballofwax.co.nz[…]no-not-like-that/ is good.
04:27 mtompset And the "But seriously, if we invest time in writing tests, forcing us to learn the behaviour of the current implementation [comma here?] we can then make sure our refactor/rewrite still passes these tests. "
04:27 rangi ah yes
04:29 rangi changed
04:29 mtompset The next sentence needs a bit of clean up too, I think.
04:30 mtompset Like the last part becoming its own sentence.
04:31 mtompset I always take like a whole day to write documentation, because I keep running over mine to see if I made tiny mistakes.
04:31 mtompset It becomes so tedious.
04:31 mtompset What does korerorero mean?
04:32 rangi discussion
04:32 wahanui discussion is always constructive :)
04:32 * mtompset nods.
04:33 cait wahanui: optimistic :)
04:33 wahanui cait: sorry...
04:34 cait poor bot
04:38 * mtompset smirks, "Yes, poor bot."

05:18 Guest1334 hi there,I wanted to create .db for my koha offline module, how can i go about it?
05:18 cait are you using the firefox plugin or the separate software?
05:19 Guest1334 am using the separate software.
05:19 Guest1334 are they different in requirements?
05:20 cait the firefox plugin just works, you don't need a db, but it can't do as much
05:20 cait http://kylehall.info/index.php[…]line-circulation/
05:20 cait sorry, I am not sure how to create a db for this
05:20 Guest1334 so how do you handle it yourself?
05:22 cait our libraries are not using offline circ atm
05:22 cait http://manual.koha-community.o[…]/offlinecirc.html
05:22 cait but I think I woudl tend to use the firefox plugin for when the network goes down
05:22 cait it doesn't need any preparation
05:22 cait http://manual.koha-community.o[…]/offlinecirc.html
05:22 cait the second has more information
05:23 cait which version of koha are you using?
05:23 Guest1334 am using 3.4 currently
05:23 cait ah :( the firefox plugin will not work with that
05:24 cait maybe try mailing the mailing list with your question
05:24 cait not a lot of people are here this time of the day
05:24 Guest1334 thats a great idea, thanks for your assistance

06:47 julian_m joined #koha
06:50 mtompset http://koha-community.org/download-koha/
06:50 mtompset Minimal, I believe.
06:51 mtompset As for hardware requirements... there are none expressly.
06:51 mtompset If it can run a debian-based OS Server Version, that's a good start.

08:33 wahanui The tarballs are available at http://download.koha-community.org/ though if you are on a debian-based OS, try the packages.
08:33 mtompset packages?
08:33 wahanui somebody said packages was at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian
08:33 mtompset That's sort of correct.
08:35 mtompset It should be redirecting to wiki.koha-community.org/wiki​/Koha_3.8_on_Debian_Squeeze ... The cascading redirect doesn't seem to work.
08:36 mtompset git?
08:36 wahanui git is, like, http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]Control_Using_Git
08:37 mtompset which install to use?
08:37 wahanui If you're developing, you should use git. If you're not developing on a deb-based system, you should use packages. If you're not developing on a different flavour of Linux, you should use the tarball.
08:37 mtompset There, I think we've got that covered well. :)
08:50 magnuse mtompset++
08:51 mtompset It was a group effort, magnuse, but thank you. :)
08:51 mtompset The 'which install to use' is a quote of jcamins_away.
08:55 mtompset Hmm... I think appendix G in the manuals need updating. :)

09:19 asaurat oh yes you did it earlier, didn't see
09:24 mtompset Oh well... I found nengard's facebook page.
09:24 drojf that sounds… stalky
09:26 mtompset Is it wrong to want appendix G updated?
09:27 drojf i don't even know what that is, but why not just send an email instead of searching her in fb?
09:27 mtompset because I don't have an email.
09:27 rangi theres a koha-docs mailing list
09:28 mtompset DOH! That would have been better.
09:28 rangi and a koha-docs git repository, you can even send a patch
09:30 drojf also there are probably a million emails of her in the main ml
09:32 mtompset hindsight is 20/20. Oh well.

12:52 kf it would be nice
12:52 kf for students working the late night shifts and such
12:52 oleonard And maybe another one just for handling fine payments?
12:53 kf hm
12:53 jcamins +1
12:53 kf so you can see fines but not pay?
12:53 kf I think maybe having a perm for waiving fines would be nice
12:53 oleonard So you could pay fines but not edit patron records?
12:53 * oleonard doesn't know if that matches anyone's reality
12:53 kf I am not sure
12:53 jcamins Ah, no, we need a permission so you can edit patron records but not handle money.
12:53 kf I think you get a summary on the patron record
12:54 kf so that might be ok if we had a view patrons
12:54 oleonard jcamins: So if we had the separate fines permission you could have it either way
12:54 jcamins oleonard: yup. That's why I agree with you. :)
12:55 oleonard I was just looking at Bug 3886 and noticing how silly it is that some print views have circ permission and some have borrowers permission

12:56 kf I have seen that
12:56 kf in acq somewhere

14:09 jcamins drojf: no, it sure doesn't.
14:13 mtompset external connectors... *cringes*
14:19 mtompset You know you have done too much bash scripting when your perl scripts mess up because == is numeric in perl, but a string in bash.
14:21 * kf mutters
14:21 kf subject can have 3 differnt meanings in German
14:21 kf but we can only make one translation...
14:21 * mtompset hands kf some cookies.
14:21 kf thx needed
14:22 mtompset Well, I'm sure you could mention this problem to whoever controls the po strings. They could add the other two cases, even if they are the same in other languages, right?
14:23 kf mtompset: the problem is more difficult
14:23 kf the way our po files owrk, you can only do 1 translation for each string
14:23 kf and each string is only translated once
14:23 kf well 2 times max, once for opac and once for staff
14:23 drojf that sounds stupid
14:23 kf and in this case, both are on the same template... *sigh*
14:24 kf drojf: it's subject
14:24 mtompset oh, that's even more frustrating.
14:24 kf and you don't want to translate them every time a word occurs
14:24 kf subject = Betreff, Thema, Schlagwort
14:24 mtompset What are the differences in nuance?
14:25 kf subject of a mail, subject in library speak (6xx fields) and a topic
14:26 mtompset Perhaps the English can change to accomodate the three nuances?
14:26 drojf kf: then we have to find and use the most differentiated language as the base for all translations
14:26 kf yeah, that's my best hope
14:26 jcamins @marc 520
14:26 huginn jcamins: Unformatted information that describes the scope and general contents of the materials. This could be a summary, abstract, annotation, review, or only a phrase describing the material. (Repeatable) [a,b,u,3,6,8]
14:26 jcamins ^^ see, not "subject."
14:26 kf jcamins: will you write a patch? :P

14:30 kf http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd520.html
14:30 kf meh.
14:31 Shane-S I think jcamins said it yesterday.. something like perfect gets in the way of good
14:35 Shane-S little confused its says on cataloging show records on [normal view] in the drop down already, but it opens in MARC
14:36 kf have you checked if there aredifferent prefs for opac and staff?
14:37 Shane-S nope...looking now
14:38 jcamins IntranetBiblioDefaultView
14:38 jcamins Try to set it to something else then set it back.
14:38 kf oh good hint
14:39 Shane-S hmm...think I need to clear my session to see that change?
14:40 jcamins No.
14:40 jcamins You do need to refresh the results page, though.
14:41 Shane-S I edited a barcode, then did a new catalog search, clicked the title, still MARC
14:41 Shane-S I will check the setting saved (though the black confirmation and log notification bar came up it was saved both times)
14:41 jcamins Shane-S: wait, are you having this problem in the staff client or the OPAC?
14:41 jcamins I understood the problem to be with the staff client.
14:42 jcamins Also set BiblioDefaultView to "in simple form."
14:44 Shane-S staff client
14:44 wahanui hmmm... staff client is for the staff in the library, OPAC is for patrons

14:45 jcamins Could be the two sysprefs are reversed.
14:48 Shane-S changed both, then set both back to simple...I will go to my screen cast system and record it. That will also give me a new session to test too
14:48 mtompset Did I send you the yum version of the check_deps.sh script, jcamins?

15:02 laurence left #koha
15:04 jcamins Shane-S: is there a reason, though, why you are using the cataloging module search?
15:04 jcamins It may be that the Cataloging module always brings you to the MARC view, now that I think about it, because the only reason you would *be* in cataloging module is to work with MARC.
15:06 jcamins I'm checking now.
15:06 Morthland joined #koha
15:06 jcamins Yeah, that's why.
15:06 jcamins The Cataloging module search always brings you to the MARC view.
15:07 Morthland I got an email from the cron daemon, sent to root@morthland.org.
15:07 jcamins You should just use the regular search.
15:07 Morthland How can I change that to send to library@morthland.org
15:07 jcamins Morthland: you'll probably need to set up a mail aliases file.
15:07 Morthland In postfix?
15:07 jcamins Morthland: you can probably find instructions for that in the documentation for your MTA of choice.
15:07 jcamins Yes.
15:08 Morthland Fantastic. Thank you.
15:08 jcamins Though- you might be able to change which e-mail messages are going to by editing the crontab.
15:08 jcamins You could find about that in the cron documentation.
15:08 * jcamins would go with setting up an alias, though.
15:11 Morthland I will set up the alias. It seems to make the most sense.

15:23 jcamins You should just use the regular search if you don't want to look at the MARC.
15:24 Shane-S the one with checkout/checkin/patron/catalog under it?
15:26 jcamins Yes. "Search in catalog."
15:27 jcamins Click the link "Search" to get to the advanced search screen.
15:27 Shane-S jcamins: okay I see, I thought cataloging make more logical sense, but it does what you say and the barcode testing works as well
15:27 mtompset jcamins, koha_perl_deps.pl patch for bug 8485 has been uploaded.

15:28 Shane-S Search I didn't like as I have to specify  what I am looking for. I need "speed" right now to just verify barcodes
15:28 Shane-S making 2 piles...work and don't work, then 2 piles from the "don't work" fix and replace
15:28 jcamins Shane-S: then use the search box that appears on almost every page.
15:30 Shane-S I was just trying to save a click, you have to pick search the catalog or cataloging from more. However, you are right the search from cataloging saves 3 clicks over the cataloging search
15:32 Shane-S jcamins: Thanks for the help, now I can start making my giant piles
15:32 jcamins I'm still not exactly clear on what you're doing, but I'm glad I could help. :)
15:33 Shane-S I personally am just doing a trial, so I can direct the librarian in the quickest manner to correct barcodes in Koha and make barcode labels for the books that need their label replaced
15:34 Shane-S It seems all the labels from the Circ/Cat system need to be replaced.
15:35 Shane-S Our label from a vendor, don't have the T00 hidden in the barcode, so we can just make the numbers match exactly. In Koha they have 2 leading zero's the barcode label does not
15:36 jcamins Shane-S: why don't you take out the two leading zeros?
15:36 Shane-S hmm...wonder if I should just do an SQL query looking for barcodes starting with 00 and strip them out
15:36 jcamins I would.
15:36 * Shane-S hasn't done a complex query in a while...goes to mysql.com
15:47 oleonard If I create "modify_patrons" and "view_patrons" permissions is someone going to complain that a user with "modify_patrons" permission can do all the same things someone with "view_patrons" can do?
15:48 oleonard "Hey, I said he could only modify patrons, not view them too!"
15:48 jcamins Hehe.
15:48 kf not me
15:48 kf did you find out about the permissions?
15:48 kf sorry, I got distracted :(

15:54 mtompset Hey, I didn't type. Someone else did.

15:57 nengard say hi to the catalogers :)
15:58 nengard the question is what do i search if i want to find things with the subject of united states and the subject subfield of encyclopedia
15:59 oleonard Hi catalogers!
15:59 jcamins And searching for "united states -- encyclopedia" in subject doesn't work?
15:59 mgeist Hi catalogers.
16:00 jcamins Hi catalogers.
16:00 mtompset Greetings, catalogers.
16:01 oleonard jcamins' search will return results for subjects like " Urban folklore -- United States -- Encyclopedias."
16:01 oleonard Don't know if that's okay or not?
16:01 jcamins oleonard: yes, but any search we can come up with will do that.
16:02 jcamins (any search we can come up with without using less-than-memorable syntax)
16:02 oleonard I just think it's important to note since the question may be about a more exclusive search
16:03 drojf joined #koha
16:03 jcamins oleonard: I know. But I wanted to start with the "things that people will be able to remember" option.
16:04 jcamins nengard: does that simple query meet the needs?
16:04 mtompset He didn't want to scare with the PQF. ;)
16:05 jcamins mtompset: actually, we can avoid PQF for this query, provided they're using DOM indexing.
16:05 mtompset PQF?
16:05 wahanui PQF is Prefix Query Format or at http://www.indexdata.com/yaz/doc/tools.html#PQF
16:06 mtompset I know, but people should know what a knowledgeable expert you are. ;)
16:06 jcamins Thanks.

16:12 jcamins There are no "index_heading" calls.
16:14 paul_p nengard = hi from France, catalogers !
16:14 gmcharlt jcamins: where, specifically?  I'm seeing references in several files in both master and 3.8.x
16:14 jcamins gmcharlt: in biblio-koha-indexdefs.
16:15 * oleonard finds several staff client scripts with authnotrequired => 1
16:16 jcamins oleonard: that doesn't seem like such a good idea.
16:17 * oleonard wonders if there's a better way to handle the error pages (404.pl, etc) than authnotrequired => 1
16:18 oleonard We don't have a generic "can be logged in to the staff client" permission
16:18 jcamins oleonard: staffaccess?
16:18 oleonard staffaccess = "Modify login / permissions for staff users"
16:18 chris_n paul_p: fantastic

16:25 nengard oleonard and jcamins thank you!!

16:25 nengard want
16:31 jcamins There is a cat sitting on my keyboard. It makes work very difficult.
16:36 Shane-S jcamins: I think I am missing something, I did a test query to remove leading zero's and the item shows the barcode change, but I have to search with the leading zeros. I went to lunch for 20 minutes to give time for a zebra index
16:36 Shane-S do I need to run the query on more then the "items" table?
16:37 jcamins Shane-S: you have to reindex everything if you change things in MySQL.
16:37 jcamins Zebra doesn't know you've changed it.
16:38 Shane-S is there a way to do it via Koha so I can avoid that step?
16:38 Shane-S batch edit perhaps?
16:39 jcamins No.
16:39 rambutan Interesting behavior: http://opac.rhcl.org   <- search "I am number 4" results in DVD only...
16:39 jcamins The batch edit functionality won't allow you to edit the barcode in that way.
16:39 rambutan search "I am number four" results in both DVD and book
16:40 Shane-S okay, I will search the wiki for re-indexing I remember doing that in the past with my 3.6 test system
16:40 rambutan Correct title for both is "I am number four".
16:40 jcamins Shane-S: koha-rebuild-zebra --full instancename

16:41 jcamins rambutan: B&T's record is... somewhat less complete.
16:41 jcamins Based on a DLC record.
16:42 jcamins And of course AACR2 says you don't list numerals in 246, just spelled-out numbers.
16:42 jcamins (silly? Why yes!)
16:42 oleonard How does AACR2 suggest you handle such cases?
16:43 jcamins oleonard: AACR2 says that the book record is correct, and "I am number 4" should not appear anywhere in the record.
16:43 oleonard Ha
16:43 * oleonard gives AACR2 the finger

17:15 Morthland from 3.8.1 to 3.8.3

17:17 Morthland Will the webinstaller run if I have a database already?
17:17 jcamins Yes.
17:17 jcamins It runs automatically when you try to log in the first time.
17:17 Morthland Fantastic. Thanks!
17:18 jcamins It's even easier when you use packages.

19:19 * jcamins sighs
19:20 cait she is
19:20 cait I wonder why not downloding directly?
19:20 cait creating the order from external source?
19:21 rangi Morning
19:22 trea morning rangi
19:22 jcamins Because most libraries don't pay the exhorbitant rates for Z39.50 access to OCLC, I think.
19:23 cait oh
19:23 cait morning rangi
19:23 jcamins The problem is, if you get vendorload records prior to your OCLC overlay, the 001 could have god-knows-what.
19:23 jcamins Which would be exactly why I say to use 035.
19:24 rangi Yea
19:24 rangi Makes sense
19:25 jcamins Of course, I've been saying that for a year with no effect.
19:26 mbalmer joined #koha

19:27 cait ew
19:27 cait but ok
19:27 jcamins Add "(OCoLC)" as a default value to the 035$a.
19:28 cait hm?
19:28 jcamins To save typing.
19:28 jcamins If that's what you were objecting to.
19:28 cait ah, only not a fan of the () syntax
19:29 jcamins Nor am I, but that's the way it is.
19:29 cait agreed
19:42 jcamins cait: can't you use the ACQ framework to add additional fields to the acquisitions module?
19:42 cait not to the new order form
19:42 jcamins Ah.

21:24 libsysguy does anybody else find the template toolkit loop variables name strange
21:24 libsysguy foreach *_LOO in *_LOOP
21:25 jcamins Very strange.
21:25 eythian libsysguy: it's a legacy of template conversion
21:25 jcamins It's because it was automatically converted.
21:25 jcamins I've decided it's endearing. :)
21:25 eythian me too :)
21:25 libsysguy I've decided to hate it
21:25 libsysguy i keep wanting to do mine as holiday in holidays etc
21:25 jcamins You don't have to do that in new code.
21:26 libsysguy 0_0
21:26 jcamins But, I think it's probably good to do all caps.
21:26 * libsysguy goes back to delete all the bad loo vars
21:26 rangi and dont do $template->param either
21:26 libsysguy i can do that
21:26 rangi thats an html::template thing
21:26 jcamins (and all caps only when your code could easily get missed)
21:26 rangi that we have a shim for, but it should go away
21:27 jcamins Shims_going_away++
21:27 jcamins You know what we should do in 3.12?
21:27 jcamins Put in a warning.
21:27 rangi good idea
21:27 jcamins "You have set a parameter incorrectly."
21:28 jcamins Or move it into C4::Template::Shims, and only include that in legacy code.
21:28 libsysguy then an ascii hand to come smack you down
21:28 jcamins Or something.
21:28 rangi that'd work
21:28 mgeist Time to go. Have a good evening!
21:29 libsysguy rangi or jcamins do we typically put TT vars in arrays or hashes
21:29 libsysguy I can't for the life of me figure out how to loop through a hash in TT
21:29 rangi its up to you
21:29 jcamins Hashes.
21:29 jcamins Well...
21:29 jcamins No, I guess we usually do arrays of hashes.
21:29 jcamins What are you trying?
21:29 rangi $template->{VARS}->{fishface} = whatever the hell you want :)
21:29 libsysguy it was arras of hashes before
21:29 libsysguy heh
21:30 rangi it could be a scalar, a hashref or an an arrayref
21:30 libsysguy oh i bet the calendar code was using template param
21:30 * libsysguy goes to look
21:30 libsysguy and it would be using template->param
21:31 rangi yeah
21:32 eythian rangi: $template->{VARS}{fishface} = ... ;)
21:33 rangi :)
21:38 * wizzyrea imagines the ascii spanking libsysguy would apply, laughs
21:39 libsysguy Anna is the only one allowed to do any spanking around here :p
21:39 wizzyrea O RLY
21:39 jcamins Oooh... I know... we always use $template for the template, don't we?
21:39 libsysguy YRS RLY!
21:40 jcamins YRS?
21:40 wizzyrea I think you mean YA RLY
21:40 libsysguy bad caps grammer
21:40 jcamins We can add a check for "$template->param" to the git hook.
21:40 rangi jcamins: we dont have to, we just do
21:40 jcamins rangi: this is good. It makes automating the QA failing easier. :)
