15:08 Oak cool. good :)
15:08 Oak how are you?

15:10 Oak cold weather in europe i heard on news

15:11 cait but it's really not heavy snow
15:11 cait and not sticking to the ground yet, too warm
15:11 Oak hmm
16:10 YoungPublicLibrary joined #koha
16:11 YoungPublicLibrary Same question as before, anyone know the right schema field for the "Other Librarians" messages?
16:18 cait it's another table
16:18 cait messages or similar I think
16:20 YoungPublicLibrary messages.message is the only thing close, and it gives the "Patron" messages instead of the "Other Librarians" messages...
16:26 cait it's both, depending on another field
16:26 cait YoungPublicLibrary: check the columns of the messages tables
16:26 cait in the schema
16:28 YoungPublicLibrary yeah, I see that now. I'm working on making a join now...I'm just not very good at it...
16:28 cait why do you want to join?
16:29 YoungPublicLibrary the messages table and the accountlines table. So that I can get the message to print out as 'L' or "Other Librarians"
16:29 cait oh hm
16:42 YoungPublicLibrary okay, lets forget the join for a minute...how would I specify the message type. There is the field messages.message_type, but how would I specify 'L' instead of 'B', which it seems to default to
16:43 cait I am not sure what your question is
16:44 cait if you only want to see the L instead of the B type
16:44 cait you would use a condition
16:44 cait where messages.message_type = "B"
16:44 cait hm "L"
16:45 YoungPublicLibrary specifically with double quotation marks or does that matter? cuz I tried that and it didn't work, but I used single quotation marks...
16:45 cait that shouldn't matter
16:45 cait you need the quotes for strings, number don't need quotes
16:45 cait are you sure oyu have messages like that?
16:46 YoungPublicLibrary hmm...I must have the join wrong then....would you mind if I pasted the report here so you could see if you see anything wrong with it...
16:46 cait I can try
16:47 YoungPublicLibrary okay...thanks I'll have it posted momentarily
16:51 pastebot "YoungPublicLibrary" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "TestFines" (7 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/252
16:53 cait i will have to add some data to my database to see
16:54 YoungPublicLibrary if its too much trouble don't worry about it. I'm sure I'll figure it out at some point. Just gotta wait for one of those brilliant moments of insight to hit me smack dab in the forehead...
16:54 cait it's ok
16:54 cait let me give it one try
16:55 cait oook
16:55 cait it doesn't look bad
16:56 cait ok
16:56 cait it works for me
16:56 cait your statement, as you posted it
16:56 cait I am not sure why it wouldn't work for you - do you have a patron with outstanding fines AND a message to other librairans to test with?
16:57 cait your pull down for branches shows up correctly when you start the report?
16:57 YoungPublicLibrary Yes, I do have a test subject. That is weird...
16:58 cait this worked for me, I only took out the branchs thing, because I was testing it in mysql directly
16:58 cait http://paste.koha-community.org/253
16:59 YoungPublicLibrary Yes, the pull down comes up first, once you select a library it goes to a blank screen with the code up top...
17:00 cait it's the only change I made - I am sorry, not sure why it wouldn't work for you
17:00 cait what happens if you leave the and .... with the branches out?
17:01 cait I would always try a simple query first and then refine it step by step
17:01 YoungPublicLibrary okay, got it to work now...but I have a different problem...
17:02 YoungPublicLibrary Maybe the system had a hickup or something the first time I tried to run it...but this time it popped right up...
17:02 YoungPublicLibrary The only problem now is that it is only showing me patron's with text in the messages.message field. If they don't have text there they don't come up. I need them to show up whether there is a message there or not...
17:04 cait YoungPublicLibrary: there is a couple of problems with your query I think
17:04 cait one being that there can be more than one message
17:05 cait for librarians
17:05 cait on one patron record
17:05 cait what you want can be done, but I always struggle a bit with the right syntax myself
17:05 YoungPublicLibrary I am wanting that. The results give a list of the messages
17:06 YoungPublicLibrary yeah, I've never really done anything with SQL. I took one class in college and then never used it until we moved to koha...so the syntax gets me quite often...
17:08 cait look at the different joins here:
17:08 cait http://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_join.asp
17:09 YoungPublicLibrary Hmm...so maybe I should try a FULL JOIN
17:10 cait I don't have enough data in my database
17:10 cait to really teast
17:11 cait test
17:11 cait w3c school pages are often quite helpful, there are more examples about joins there
17:11 cait at the next pages
17:11 cait I think you want that there is amatching borrower line, but not necessarily one in messages
17:11 YoungPublicLibrary okay, I'll take a look at it. Thanks for all your help!
17:11 cait hope you can figure it out
17:12 YoungPublicLibrary I'm sure I will now. You got me headed in the right direction. Thanks!
17:13 cait you were almost there from the beginning :)

17:30 cait sure :)
17:32 pastebot "YoungPublicLibrary" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "TestFines" (7 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/254
17:32 cait aaah
17:32 cait the or is an clever idea :)
17:32 cait a clever idea
17:33 cait hmm
17:33 YoungPublicLibrary thank you, it was a combination effort of another programmer and myself...
17:33 cait but does it always work? even for a new borrower without any messages?
17:34 cait hm, if you say it does it will :)
17:34 YoungPublicLibrary Hmm...that I don't know. And I don't have permissions to delete a borrower, so can't really test that one...lol
17:35 cait ah

18:46 YoungPublicLibrary lol, I'm not even sure that's how the town name is spelled. Its the farthest north settlement in Alaska...my cousin coaches football there. They literally have guard towers around the football field to watch for polarbears...
18:46 cait oh wow
18:58 YoungPublicLibrary Yeah, on average its like 10 degrees there. Last winter the temperatures hit -32 degrees...and he likes it there!
18:58 cait heh
18:58 cait maybe your brother is a polar bear? :)
19:00 YoungPublicLibrary lol, that may very well be...
