01:33 mtj oooh, gitweb with plack -> https://gist.github.com/346068
01:34 mtj i might give that a go….
02:05 mtompset joined #koha
02:05 mtompset Greetings, #koha.
02:06 mtompset Do I have a data problem?
02:14 mtj hmm, yeah perhaps…? :/
02:15 mtompset Could you check, mtj...
02:15 mtompset Open up OPAC.
02:16 mtompset go to any opac detail.
02:16 mtompset on the side there is a "Save Record" section.
02:16 mtompset Choose "Dublin Core XML"
02:16 mtompset Click Go.
02:17 mtompset This may or may not exist in a version other than 3.6.x.
02:17 mtompset I then go look at the koha-opac-error_log
02:17 mtj what i would do ….
02:18 mtompset Never mind... It probably is a data error.
02:18 mtompset I did it for a different record, and it didnt' generate the error.
02:18 mtj load the db into a test koha
02:19 mtj then test on the latest stable (3.8.4)
02:19 mtj does the problem still exist?
02:19 mtompset Yes, I'll have to do that.
02:20 mtompset I think I have a VM with it... I was working with packages for this install too... It'll be good to give it a test run.
02:20 mtj fyi: i get the same error too :)
02:21 mtj opac-export.pl: Argument "\\x{20}" isn't numeric in numeric eq (==) at /usr/share/perl5/MARC/Crosswalk/DublinCore.pm line 541.,
02:21 mtompset But it isn't on every record.
02:21 mtompset Are you running 3.8.x?
02:22 mtj pass, and no
02:23 mtj i'm testing on unstable/master
02:23 mtj so…. log a bug :)
02:24 mtompset Yes, I will, but it would be nicer to be able to figure out what triggers it, so it is easier to fix.
02:25 mtj hmm, related to this? -> http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6040
02:25 huginn Bug 6040: normal, PATCH-Sent (DO NOT USE), ---, matthias.meusburger, Pushed to Master , opac-export.pl can throw an untrapped error when trying to export an invalid record
02:26 mtj good news… the .xml file looks correct to me :)
02:26 mtj so , poss. just a warn - and no data lost?
02:26 mtj bbiab
02:27 mtompset Actually, the XML file... does your have a blank, but valid, date?
02:33 mtompset And why is the date three times?
02:40 mtompset And it is only the Dublin Core XML one that triggers the errors.
02:45 mtj no date on my record
02:45 mtj mine looks fine, ftw
02:46 bag garsh - it be evening time here on this coast
02:46 pastebot "mtj" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "moof" (15 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/147
02:46 mtj me looky all goody
02:47 bag heya mtj - sorry just being silly and talking like a pirate for the ginny dragon
02:47 mtj aayee, it be of no harm to me….. arrghh
02:48 bag garsh
02:48 mtj ooh arrrh...
02:48 mtj me hearties...
02:48 * mtj runs out of pirate phrases… :/
02:49 mtj arghh arhh…. rum?
02:49 bag arrrggghh me maties - there be treasure in those nappies
02:50 * mtj gotta stop this sillyness
02:50 pastebot "mtompset" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "Strange triplicate copyright date, but one is blank?!" (27 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/148
02:51 mtj ?do you have three dates in your orig. record?
02:52 mtompset No.
02:52 mtompset That's the strange thing.
02:52 mtompset I'll check the DB directly.
02:55 mtompset Nope.
03:10 mtompset Could it be that 260$c is cYYYY.?
03:32 mtj pass, all i can say is test it on latest-stable
03:32 mtj coz my records are saving OK

05:44 drojf eierlegende wollmilchsau? ;)
05:45 mbalmer yes, looks like ...
06:05 mtompset Greetings, drojf.
06:05 drojf hey mtompset
06:05 wahanui well, mtompset is trying to do a variety of projects in less than three months!
06:05 drojf how are the projects going? :)
06:05 mtompset Slowly. They won't all get finished. :(
06:07 drojf sorry to hear that

07:09 mtompset Well, that was not fun.
07:09 mtompset Greetings, #koha.
07:09 drojf broken internet?
07:09 mtompset Yep.
07:09 drojf :(
07:09 * drojf hands mtompset the duct tape
07:10 mtompset Hey, can't expect perfect internet all the time when you aren't in a major urban center.
07:10 drojf you can't even expect that in a major urban center i'm afraid
07:11 mtompset Thanks, drojf. -- Well, that's true when you are in the Philippines.
07:11 mtompset (not expecting perfect internet anywhere)
07:11 drojf it's true in germany too ;)
07:12 mtompset I have not experienced poor connectivity in Canada.
07:12 mtompset All I had to do was unplug the phone line from the DSL modem, wait 10 seconds, and then plug it back in.
07:13 paul_p joined #koha
07:13 mtompset Though, in Canada, I'm usually closer to major urban centers.
07:13 drojf i had a very bad dsl connection a few years ago. no internet over the weekend every second week
07:13 drojf german telekom. never again
07:19 mtompset every two weeks, or every second week of the month?
07:19 drojf one weekend on, one weekend off
07:19 drojf went like that for months
07:19 mtompset That's crazy. I'd be demanding a rebate/refund.
07:20 drojf i needed a port reset very often and they did not do it over the weekends
07:20 drojf yeah i did but they did not care at all
07:20 drojf they had a nice monopoly back then, so not much i could do
07:21 drojf at some point it stopped, i assume they changed some faulty hardware on their side. they never acknowledged it was their fault of course
07:22 mtompset never admit your mistakes to your customers! ;)

09:31 eythian a bit shorter
09:31 eythian I think after lunch it is discussion time, so that'll depend how long people want to keep talking
09:33 drojf ok, depends on when their trains back home go probably

09:55 Oak and Mr Robin
09:55 rangi needs to be updated tho
09:57 rangi eythian: http://www.stuff.co.nz/nationa[…]ses-first-reading
09:57 rangi some good news to balance out the stupid patent reversal
09:57 eythian rangi: saw that
10:02 eythian looks reasonably promising for a first reading
10:05 rangi yep
10:05 rangi 30-29 in national, which is quite amazing since only 4 voted for civil unions
10:08 eythian http://bibliotheek20.ning.com/[…]-koha-mijn-indruk <-- rangi
10:08 rangi oh
10:09 rangi heh
10:11 eythian (that's not this workshop, just something I found just now)
10:12 rangi yep, from last year
10:12 rangi did you get a chance to catch up with any dutch koha users?
10:12 eythian Not yet, but I haven't spent a lot of time in .nl yet
10:13 rangi ah right
10:13 rangi hows today going? lots of discussion?
10:14 eythian yeah, but they've lapsed into German in order to let those who aren't so good in English talk. So I don't know what they're talking about.
10:14 rangi ahh
10:16 eythian http://di2lib.blogspot.nl/2012[…]teem-ils2020.html <-- hmm, that's not a very good logo
10:16 rangi no, not at all
10:17 rangi you'll have to get in touch to fix that :)
10:18 eythian possibly should, yeah
10:46 mib_cv04vf joined #koha
10:46 mib_cv04vf hi everyone
10:54 mib_cv04vf I have populated my new installed Koha, but the searching catalogue does not give any results
10:54 mtj http://www.muziekcentrumnederl[…]kel/artikel/4337/
10:54 mtj http://catalogus.mcn.nl/
10:55 mtj triple-fail
10:55 mtj searchfaq?
10:56 mtj search faq?
10:56 wahanui search faq is http://koha-community.org/documentation/faq/
10:56 mtj mib_cv04vf , there you go… ;)
10:59 mib_cv04vf is it the one
10:59 mib_cv04vf http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.[…]an-td3054633.html
11:00 mtj mib_cv04vf , i suggest you install your koha, using the debian packages
11:01 mtj packages?
11:01 wahanui i guess packages is at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian
11:02 mtj … then you can be sure that your zebra searching is running correctly
11:02 laurence left #koha
11:02 mib_cv04vf I have done that, I used that instructions
11:03 mib_cv04vf I followed exactly that installation
11:04 mtj is your zebra running?, have you rebuilt your zebra indexes?
11:04 mib_cv04vf how do I make sure it is running
11:07 mtj $ ps -ef|grep zebrasrv
11:08 mtj you have followed these instructions, here… ? ->  http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian
11:10 mib_cv04vf i got this out put http://kl1p.com/koyauni
11:15 mtj $ ps -ef|grep zebrasrv| wc -l
11:15 mtj 1
11:15 mtj … means zebra is probably running
11:15 mtj :)
11:16 mib_cv04vf it gives 3
11:16 mtj … means 3 zebra is probably running :)
11:16 mib_cv04vf ok
11:16 mib_cv04vf running this # sudo /etc/init.d/zebraqueue-daemon start
11:16 mib_cv04vf give me. Invalid --user argument: 'koha.koha' (unknown user koha)
11:17 mib_cv04vf I am not sure I did set that user anywhere
11:17 mtj koha-stop-zebra ,  koha-start-zebra
11:17 mtj http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]#koha-start-zebra
11:18 mtj http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]e_Debian_packages
11:26 mib_cv04vf I did those still nothing
11:28 mtj stop your zebras(3) first
11:29 mtj then start just *one* zebra
11:29 mtj using  koha-start-zebra
11:29 mtj then rebuild your zebra indexes
11:30 mtj http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]oha-rebuild-zebra
11:31 mib_cv04vf I have only one zebra :(
11:32 mtj thats ok :)
11:32 mtj me tooo
11:32 mib_cv04vf so if just stop zebra will stop all procces
11:34 mib_cv04vf now it tells me 1, root@koyauniversity ~ # ps -ef|grep zebrasrv| wc -l 1 root@koyauniversity ~ #

14:50 mtompset Getopt::Long is good. :)
14:50 jcamins tcohen: did you figure out how to do what you wanted with your SQL queries?
14:51 tcohen yes, thanks, $dbh->quote() did the job
14:52 mtompset Handy function, that be. :)

15:29 gmcharlt customer suggested an interesting use of the itemcallnumber syspref ... set it to 952o
15:29 jcamins Ummm...
15:29 jcamins Why would you do that?
15:29 jcamins Oh!
15:29 jcamins Interesting.
15:29 wahanui rumour has it interesting is sometimes good and sometimes bad
15:29 gmcharlt jcamins: exactly the same response I had
15:29 gmcharlt but very, very obvious in hindsight
15:30 jcamins It sure is. Possibly that ought to be the default rather than 090.
15:30 oleonard Hunh?
15:30 jwagner I thought the point of that field was to create call numbers from the MARC data?
15:30 gmcharlt oleonard: to clarify, it means that you want new items to take the call number of existing items
15:30 jcamins oleonard: if you set it to 952$o, it will default to the call number you assigned before.
15:31 gmcharlt jwagner: yeah, but the customer in question is more concerned with added copies, seemingly
15:32 gmcharlt jcamins: of course, doing that is a bit hackish, as it's certainly forseeable that at some point the bib and item editor will stop drawing in actual 952 fields
15:32 jcamins gmcharlt: true.
15:33 jwagner If there are multiple items, which one does it use? The first? My gut feeling is that it would be safer/cleaner to edit the MARC field to what they want (or use a local MARC field for that)
15:34 jcamins First, so far as I know.
15:34 gmcharlt although "first" is most likely "no particular order"
15:35 jcamins gmcharlt: right.
15:35 gmcharlt jwagner: yeah, I suspect at lot of catalogers would instinctively think to also add/update an 090
15:35 gmcharlt but not necessarily everybody
15:36 * jwagner is very conservative when it comes to cataloging data -- I save my free spirits for other areas
15:37 gmcharlt jwagner: live a little!  toss the AACR2 aside! ;)
15:37 jwagner I Are Not A Cataloger!  I Are Not Even A Librarian :-)
15:37 mbalmer IANAL...
15:37 jwagner But I've worked around a LOT of catalogers for whom the term "anal retentive" is not strong enough
15:38 jcamins jwagner: of course, but catalogers probably wouldn't be handling items.
15:38 * gmcharlt adds a note to bug 3426
15:38 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3426 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, NEW , change itemcallnumber system preference to allow multiple tags
15:39 jcamins (items as in item records, not items as in physical objects)
15:39 jwagner Depends on the library.  Bigger sites might farm that out to other staff, smaller sites might have one person doing everything
15:40 jcamins My experience with smaller libraries is that the one person they have is never a cataloger. ;)
15:43 * drojf is not a cataloguer and wonders why he has to do all these weird MARC things
15:43 drojf but i guess the stranger part is that i understand some of it
15:44 mtompset computer catalogue this book. ;)
15:44 jcamins drojf: scarier part.
15:44 drojf heh
15:44 * mtompset tries placing it on the scanner, but it doesn't work.
15:45 drojf mtompset: get a better computer
15:45 mtompset Some how I don't think the computer knows how to catalogue.
15:45 mtompset I guess MARC records it is. ;)
15:46 jwagner drojf, the first migration I ever worked with was from an old system into Sirsi Unicorn. I had to handle the data mapping, which meant a crash course from our cataloger. By the end I was dreaming in MARC record format :-(
15:46 mbalmer iso2709...  sweet dreams
15:47 mtompset iso2709?
15:47 jwagner I can think of better things to dream about....
15:47 Viktor joined #koha
15:47 mtompset I guess wahanui doesn't know that.
15:47 drojf jwagner: i am migrating from selfbuilt, ugly heterogenous filemaker database. i learned marc, perl and a lot of other crazy library things in the process. but i'm happy to say MARC never appeared in my dreams
15:48 jwagner You aren't done yet! (ominous distant warnings....)
15:48 drojf i am done tomorrow at 10
15:48 mbalmer mtompset, marc records are ISO 2709 records.
15:48 drojf deadline is deadline. i hope
15:48 jwagner Hmmm..... See how your dreams are tonight :-)
15:49 drojf i think there was this guy called jcamins who said something like "perfect is the enemy of good". that be my motto from now on
15:50 drojf if it works "somehow" it's better than the old one. noone will ever know how much better it could have been
15:50 jwagner See earlier comment about obsessive catalogers :-)
15:50 drojf jwagner: the trick is to not sleep before hahaha
15:52 drojf that laughter sounded crazier in my head than it should have

16:07 jcamins melia: I think that's how most people handle Comcast e-mail addresses.
16:08 melia figures :)
16:08 jcamins There's someone on the list with a comcast.net address that has been bouncing for a while, and I was wondering if you were getting any e-mail to a comcast.net address, if you had one. :)

16:15 drojf is there something like a "staff note" field on the biblio level? the one i had in mind seems to be on item level
16:16 jcamins drojf: no.
16:17 jcamins drojf: at the moment we display all notes on both OPAC and staff client, always.
16:21 drojf after some more thought, i think item level is fine

17:05 huginn jcamins: The operation succeeded.
17:05 mbalmer (compared to the Intermecs we usually use)
17:06 mbalmer jcamins, no, mveron does not sit in his dishwasher when making cookies...
17:06 jcamins mbalmer: he doesn't sit in the dishwasher when making fish, either. :P

17:58 jcamins search faq?
17:58 wahanui somebody said search faq was http://koha-community.org/documentation/faq/
17:58 jcamins ^^ take a look there.
17:58 koyauni I have stop/run and rebuild zebra as well
17:59 koyauni I did and followed the solution it was presented
17:59 jcamins Okay.
17:59 jcamins What changed?
17:59 drojf joined #koha
17:59 jcamins I presume you had the records showing up at some point, to know that they are there?
18:02 koyauni when I upload, I got no error and I could see 17080 was added, I got the repost on screen as well
18:02 jcamins koyauni: how did you upload them?
18:02 trea left #koha
18:03 jcamins Using the stage MARC records tool?
18:04 koyauni I used the marc tools
18:05 jcamins I'm not sure what you mean by that.
18:05 koyauni how do the make sue the demon things is not running at stag 4 here http://kl1p.com/koyauni
18:05 koyauni I used this "Stage MARC records for import"
18:05 jcamins You are using packages, so you don't have to worry about that.
18:05 jcamins Okay, good.
18:06 jcamins Did you then go to the "Manage staged records" tool (it's called something like that), and choose to import the records into your catalog?
18:07 koyauni let me check please
18:08 koyauni yes I see I did that and I did this again now, to replace
18:08 jcamins Okay.
18:09 jcamins Run `sudo koha-rebuild-zebra --full -v`
18:10 koyauni I ran that, but I can run that now again
18:10 jcamins I'm wondering what it says when you add the -v
18:10 jcamins koha-rebuild-zebra --full -v library
18:10 wizzyrea do -v -v if you want the full output :P
18:10 jcamins I forgot the "library" bit.
18:11 wizzyrea or is it not like that in the packages
18:11 jcamins wizzyrea: I'm wondering whether it's rebuilding anything at all.
18:11 jcamins It is.
18:11 jcamins That might be excessive output, though.
18:11 jcamins I just want it to report "reindexing biblios" or not report it, as the case may be.
18:12 koyauni I ran that no error  root@koyauniversity ~ # sudo koha-rebuild-zebra --full -v root@koyauniversity ~ #
18:12 jcamins Then it didn't work.
18:12 koyauni it should take some time does not it
18:13 jcamins That should've taken about a half hour.
18:13 jcamins I forgot that you have to have "library" at the end of the command: sudo koha-rebuild-zebra --full -v library
18:13 koyauni this is crazy! It is working now!
18:13 koyauni waw
18:13 koyauni thank you guys,
18:14 jcamins You're welcome.
18:14 koyauni do I have to run this every time I upload marcs sudo koha-rebuild-zebra --full -v`
18:14 jcamins No.
18:14 sophie_m left #koha
18:15 jcamins It will take some time, but all the records will be indexed automatically.

18:54 libsysguy anybody have a good example of how to properly run an update that is vairiable
19:10 mbalmer joined #koha
19:13 jcamins libsysguy: how do you mean?
19:15 libsysguy for example if I wanted to update a field called date and name, but wanted to leave description alone
19:15 libsysguy can I variable-ize that
19:15 libsysguy I know how to do it in DBIX::Class syntax
19:16 jcamins Uhhh...
19:16 libsysguy and my thought was to just build a string and then execute an array of available vars
19:16 jcamins Show me DBIx::C syntax?
19:16 libsysguy you just push what you want into a hash for the update and pass it via the update method
19:17 * libsysguy looks for an example on cpan
19:18 jcamins You mean "UPDATE table SET date=whatever, name=whatever"?
19:18 libsysguy http://search.cpan.org/dist/DB[…]sultSet.pm#update
19:18 libsysguy yeah that is how I would do it now
19:19 jcamins Okay, at least I know wth you're talking about now.
19:19 libsysguy so if I had more things to push on I could say update_str = "UPDATE table set "; update_str.= "date=whatever"; etc etc
19:19 jcamins Use a hash and do a join.
19:20 libsysguy ah
19:20 jcamins (if you're doing it a lot)
19:20 libsysguy so the key would be the field name in the db and the value would be what you want to set it to
19:20 jcamins Otherwise, I will fly out to Texas just to hunt you down and bludgeon you with Perldocs.
19:20 libsysguy no no not the perl docs

19:29 gaetan_B hey
19:29 gaetan_B i'm having a weird problem with circulation
19:30 gaetan_B when issuing a document for which the circulation rules determine a loan period longer than 7 days
19:30 gaetan_B the due date is properly calculated
19:30 gaetan_B but when returning the document
19:30 gaetan_B the patron is systematically debarred, until the calculated due date
19:30 gaetan_B has anyone seen this before ?
19:31 gaetan_B everything fine if the loan period is 7 days or less...
19:33 oleonard What version gaetan_B?
19:33 gaetan_B 3.8.2
19:33 gaetan_B i haven't tested on master yet
19:34 cait that sounds like a bug that was on bugzila
19:34 gaetan_B ahah, i should inveestigate then :)

19:34 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8251 critical, P1 - high, ---, koha, Pushed to Master , Patrons are systematically debarred at checkin
19:36 gaetan_B sounds like a good candidate, even though it does work out for loan periods of 7 days or less.
19:36 gaetan_B thanks i'll look in this direction!
19:38 jcamins gaetan_B: probably no one tried it with a loan period of less than 7 days.
19:39 gaetan_B jcamins: yes, and my grace period just happens to be 7 days, which fits nicely with the bug description ;)
19:39 gaetan_B if ( ( $deltadays - $grace )->is_positive )
19:39 gaetan_B so it must be it, thanks :)
19:39 jcamins gaetan_B: very generous!
19:40 jcamins A grace period of 1 day is usual.
19:40 gaetan_B yep, confirmed by raising the grace period

23:26 loui Hello everyone.
23:26 rangi hi loui
23:27 loui Rangi, you use Koha in your library?
23:28 rangi yep in a couple
23:28 jcamins rangi is the original developer of Koha.
23:28 loui ouch...sorry
23:28 rangi heh it's ok
23:28 loui We are planning to test Koha in our Library.
23:29 janPasi joined #koha
23:30 rangi cool
23:30 * rangi has to grab a cup of tea, brb
23:33 rangi back
23:33 loui :D rangi, sorry to bother you.
23:33 rangi what version of linux are you planning on installing it on?
23:34 loui my director wants koha but he like to add a module called Collection Analysis.
23:34 rangi i would recommend Debian Stable (Squeeze) and use the debian packages for Koha
23:34 loui our school website is http://libraries.usl.edu.ph
23:34 rangi hmm what would that module do?
23:34 rangi ahh lots of libraries in .ph using Koha
23:35 rangi but old old old versions
23:35 rangi dont do that :)
23:35 jcamins Well I'll be. I think I just duplicated that error that Pam reported. It's a bug in the cataloging code.
23:35 rangi oh cool you can duplicate it, then it's fixable!
23:35 loui A module that can tell which subject or course a book can be used to
23:36 jcamins rangi: yeah, I can't duplicate it in the bib editor, but I got it in authorities.
23:36 rangi oh, hmm i could think of a few ways to do that
23:36 rangi and sounds like a useful thing for schools
23:36 loui yeah so useful
23:37 loui students likes to search books by course or course subject
23:37 rangi you could just store that info in the MARC record
23:37 rangi would be the easiest way
23:37 loui where in a course belongs to a department and subject belongs to a course.
23:37 jcamins Of course, the problem turns out to be that Zebra wasn't running.
23:37 jcamins loui: there is a "course reserves" module that was developed that needs to be tested before it can be included in Koha.
23:37 jcamins You might be able to use that.
23:38 loui i hope it will be included soon
23:39 jcamins loui: because Koha is open source, the best way to get it in would be to do some testing yourself.
23:39 rangi there are actually 2
23:39 rangi http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8551
23:39 huginn Bug 8551: enhancement, P5 - low, ---, pelletiermaxime, NEW , Course reserves
23:39 rangi http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8215
23:39 huginn Bug 8215: enhancement, P5 - low, ---, kyle, Needs Signoff , Add Course Reserves
23:39 rangi they both need testing
23:39 loui I will try to test Koha first. thank you so much.
23:39 jcamins I think maximep still needed to do a follow-up patch for the first.
23:40 rangi could be
23:42 jcamins joined #koha
23:44 loui Guys can we restrict a user to create/update/delete a certain material type in a certain library location?
23:44 jcamins Not by itemtype.
23:44 jcamins You can restrict by library, though.
23:45 loui In our library, different staff are assigned to different material types.
23:46 loui It is nice if this will also be added to Koha.:D
23:46 jcamins I've never heard of anyone wanting to do that.
23:46 jcamins (before now;)
23:47 jcamins I would think that it would be reasonable to trust staff members to only catalog the items they're given, though.
23:50 loui Sometimes staff commit mistakes or they intend to commit mistakes.:D
23:51 loui jcamins, you're a koha developer also?
23:51 jcamins loui: yes.
23:51 loui cool.
23:51 rangi have you looked over the manual loui ?
23:52 rangi its quite useful for an overview of what is in koha
23:52 rangi http://koha-community.org/documentation/
23:52 loui I already installed koha to a linux server and tested it.
23:52 loui I also showed it to our director.
23:52 jcamins Excellent! What version did you install?
23:53 loui 3.6.8
23:53 jcamins That's a good version.
23:53 rangi a good choice
23:53 loui But he likes to add that module.
23:53 rangi you might also want to install 3.8.4
23:53 * jcamins is biased, since he is the one who released 3.6.8 a few days ago.
23:53 rangi on a test server too
23:53 jcamins True. 3.8.4 has more features.
23:54 loui Honestly we are using Follett CirCat.
23:54 rangi oh
23:54 loui We like to move to a Web based
23:54 rangi a rock is better than that :)
23:54 loui Follett Destiny is Expensive.:(
23:54 rangi there are a few different ways to get a feature you want into koha
23:55 jcamins Oh, lots of libraries have moved from Follett to Koha. All that I have spoken to have been exceedingly happy with the change.
23:55 rangi you can file a bug .. and hope someone decides to spend their free time working on it
23:55 rangi you can file a bug, and submit patches yourself
23:55 rangi you can file a bug, and pay someone else to write and submit the feature
23:55 loui Yeah. We are trying to find a developer then ask if how much if we ask for a certain additional module
23:55 rangi but it all starts with filing a bug at
23:56 rangi http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/
23:56 rangi and marking it an enhancement
23:56 rangi its crucial to do that early, to avoid duplication, and so others can go
23:56 rangi "oh you can already do that, with such and such"
23:56 rangi or "Oh i would like to work on that"
23:56 rangi etc
23:56 jcamins ^^ very important
23:57 loui that is the beauty of open source.:D
