00:04 jcamins_away How did you alphabetize ß?
00:05 drojf after s
00:05 jcamins_away It's kind of a problem since ß should come before st in my alphabetical world.
00:07 drojf :D
00:08 drojf wouldn't it come before st when it comes after s?
00:09 jcamins drojf: only if the words were spelled "strasße" and "straste."
00:09 drojf ah now i understand what you mean
00:10 jcamins Otherwise, "straste" would come before "straße."
00:10 drojf ys
00:10 drojf yes
00:11 jcamins The German language needs more words with the spelling "-sß-"
00:11 drojf the correct way would be to magically dissolve it to 'ss' for sorting
00:12 jcamins And searching.
00:12 wahanui searching is not working
00:13 drojf there is a line 'equivalent ß(ss)' now but i have to admit that i am not sure what zebra does with it
00:13 drojf maybe it should be (ss)ß
00:13 jcamins No, I think the line is right.
00:15 jcamins The problem is that I don't think that applies to sorting, just searching.
00:16 drojf This directive introduces the upper-case equivalences to the value set (if any). The number and order of the entries in the list should be the same as in the lowercase directive.
00:16 drojf ok i killed that because ß does not really exist in uppercase
00:16 drojf will add it anyway
00:17 drojf equivalent value-set This directive introduces equivalence classes of characters and/or strings for sorting purposes only. It resembles the map directive, but does not affect search and retrieval indexing, but only sorting order under present requests.
00:17 drojf seems to be for sorting
00:19 jcamins Oh, guess I had it backwards.
00:19 jcamins Excellent!
00:27 jcamins I had no idea there was an uppercase ß!
00:29 drojf there isn't really. i think it came up quite recently. it doesn't exist apart from all-caps. you cannot have a word start with ẞ
00:29 eythian jcamins: it's what Germans use when yelling to each other. By which I mean, talking normally, like cait's outside neighbour at BSZ.
00:29 jcamins lol
00:29 drojf lol
00:30 drojf "The hat ^ character denotes beginning-of-field"
00:30 drojf hat character?
00:30 drojf is that a common expression?
00:30 eythian it's not uncommon
00:30 * drojf giggles
00:30 * jcamins has never heard it before.
00:31 eythian you will also see "carrot" sometimes.
00:31 drojf lol
00:31 cait caret
00:31 cait according to my perl books
00:31 jcamins Caret.
00:31 jcamins That's what I've always heard.
00:32 eythian yeah, that's the properist name.
00:32 drojf i like carrot
00:32 cait of course you do :)
00:33 cait who doesn't like carrots?:)
00:33 drojf lotẞ of carrotẞ
00:33 eythian ^^
00:33 eythian ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
00:33 drojf :D
00:33 cait lol
00:38 jcamins Okay... how do I tie a bowtie?
00:38 jcamins Clearly not the way the package says.
00:38 * jcamins consults Google.
00:38 eythian you put the elastic band around your neck, and it just stays there.
00:39 drojf i bet there are video tutorials on youtube
00:39 cait jcamins: how did you get from reading to bowties?
00:39 drojf maybe even a google group :P
00:39 cait ok, things are getting weird here... I am leaving :)
00:39 cait night all
00:40 jcamins lol
00:40 jcamins Good night.
00:40 eythian I spent 3 years at high school tying a regular tie every day. Last time I had to do it, a couple of years ago, I had to look it up.
00:40 drojf good night cait
00:40 eythian later cait
00:40 cait left #koha
00:40 jcamins Right... maybe I'll tie the bowtie around something else to start with.
00:41 drojf How To Tie a Bow Tie ʉۢ 1.727.313 views
00:41 drojf you are not alone :D
00:41 eythian seems like a common issue
00:42 eythian wahanui: birds
00:42 wahanui eythian: huh?
00:42 eythian wahanui: birds are gross: http://www.birdandmoon.com/birdsaregross.html
00:42 wahanui OK, eythian.
00:42 jcamins drojf: indeed I am not.
00:46 drojf jcamins: you could tie it around myshkin for a test
00:46 jcamins lol
00:49 druthb myshkin_in_a_tie++
00:51 jcamins Grr.
00:59 rangi http://www.youtube.com/watch?f[…]ded&v=PN-MjUC4f9k
00:59 * jcamins proceeds to garotte a spindle full of CD-Rs.
01:00 wizzyrea lol. lol. adorable.
01:01 jcamins :)
01:01 eythian I guess you've got to use them for something
01:04 jcamins Well, it may have asphixiated, but at least I managed to tie the bowtie.
01:04 jcamins Once.
01:07 jcamins Success!
01:08 * jcamins refuses to take off his bowtie.

03:50 wizzyrea excuse
03:50 wahanui wizzyrea: My pony-tail hit the on/off switch on the power strip.
03:51 wizzyrea oh that happens to me ALL THE TIME
03:55 eythian you should chop off your pony tail in that case

07:10 eythian_ joined #koha
07:13 magnuse kia ora cait and eythian and paul_p
07:13 magnuse woohoo for the changes that were made to the wiki!
07:13 cait it's a lot better, isn't it?
07:14 magnuse cait: it is!
07:16 paul_p hi magnus & cait & BobB_ & others. leaving IRC to take Athens subway now. See you later
07:16 paul_p cait this afternoon, I plan to do some QA.
07:17 cait paul_p: good
07:17 cait have fun in Athens
07:19 magnuse eythian or eythian_ around?
07:20 eythian_ yep
07:21 magnuse yay
07:21 magnuse i have a problem with the packages
07:21 magnuse set up a new server to test 3.10 with real data
07:21 magnuse upload the sql backup from the live server and load it, upgrade schema and rebuild zebra -f
07:22 magnuse but when i try to search i get this: Can't call method "raw" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Search.pm line 461.
07:22 magnuse e.g.: http://esme.testing.bibkat.no/[…]earch.pl?q=lessig
07:22 magnuse ever seen something like that?
07:23 magnuse the rebuild zebra runs without any trouble
07:23 eythian_ I can't say I have seen that.
07:23 magnuse gah :-)
07:23 eythian_ I haven't done a whole lot with the 3.10 packages though
07:24 magnuse it's also weird that the title of the search results page says "you did not specify any search criteria"
07:24 eythian_ hmm yes
07:24 eythian_ that's suspicious
07:25 cait hm
07:26 cait me neither :(
07:26 cait seen it ... autoscroll broken once again
07:26 wahanui I haven't seen 'it', cait
07:27 eythian_ wahanui agrees.
07:27 wahanui eythian_: i'm not following you...
07:27 magnuse i did koha-create before i loaded the sql dump
07:28 eythian_ that's fine, that's what I usually do.
07:28 magnuse earlier, i tried to do koha-create and then add some records, and that seemed to work fine
07:29 eythian_ the only thing I can think of off the top of my head is the upgrade process not working correctly, but if that were the case it'd affect everyone.
07:32 laurence joined #koha
07:32 magnuse the output from upgrade schema: http://paste.koha-community.org/304
07:32 magnuse there is something weird there:
07:32 magnuse DBD::mysql::db do failed: Can't create table 'koha_esme.#sql-792_2260' (errno: 121) at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/ins​taller/data/mysql/updatedatabase.pl line 5443.
07:34 pastebot "magnuse" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "lines around 5443" (21 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/305
07:35 magnuse that's related to the borrower_files table, shouldn't think that would affect searching...
07:36 * rangi tries to clear up sanders confusion, hopefully not creating more
07:43 marcelr joined #koha
07:44 magnuse yup this works fine: koha-create + manually doing the web-installer + staging/importing a batch of files + rebuild zebra

09:51 drojf hi #koha
09:53 kf hi drojf
09:55 drojf hi kf
09:56 drojf with tech people doing free tech support for koha, maybe librarians could have a community initiative to teach basic ILS things ;) some people seem confused that we do not walk them through the complete system but i am not starting to do that in my spare time
09:57 drojf @wunder berlin, germany
09:57 huginn drojf: The current temperature in Prenzlauer Berg, Berlin, Germany is 1.8°C (10:43 AM CET on December 10, 2012). Conditions: Light Drizzle. Humidity: 88%. Dew Point: 0.0°C. Windchill: -2.0°C. Pressure: 29.59 in 1002 hPa (Steady).
09:57 kf yeah
09:57 rangi drojf: that is a good idea
09:58 kf can I go for tech support please?
09:58 rangi it would be nice to see librarians answering the library policy/usage type questions
09:58 vfernandes joined #koha
09:59 rangi some do of course, but they vastly outnumber us on the mailing list .. but not in answering mails :)
09:59 drojf that's right. maybe we are too fast
10:00 BigRig joined #koha

10:01 drojf if you have a long thread with koha dinosaurs like yourself answering they might be, yes
10:01 drojf ;)
10:02 drojf there must be so many librarians on that list. maybe they are less shy if we don't answer these questions. or answer with "any librarian here to explain" or something
10:02 drojf hi vfernandes
10:03 rangi good idea lemme try
10:04 rangi lets see if that works
10:05 drojf :)
10:10 drojf we should introduce the position of 'noob wranglers' for these questions :D
10:17 gerundio joined #koha
10:17 gerundio hi, good morning
10:18 gerundio I've filled the value for the "BorrowerUnwantedField" field in the System preferences
10:18 gerundio and the collumns values I've inserted there don't show up in the intranet patron entry screen
10:19 gerundio but keep showing up in the OPAC personal details screen
10:19 gerundio how can I hide them there too?
10:19 kf gerundio: only using jquery
10:19 kf gerundio: the syspref doesn't extent to the opac yet
10:19 kf extend
10:19 gerundio ok kf, thanks a lot for the quick reply :)
10:22 magnuse kf++
10:22 gerundio btw, any reason for that to limit the fields shown in the intranet but not on OPAC?
10:23 kf I think we might want to have 2 different prefs long term
10:23 kf because you might want some informatoin to show up internally only (even if that is probably not a good idea)
10:30 gerundio I read internally only as in intranet only, correct?
10:30 gerundio what we have now is the exact opposite
10:30 gerundio internaly only make much more sense to me
10:30 kf sorry, gerundio, not sure I understand
10:31 gerundio you said "because you might want some informatoin to show up internally only"
10:32 kf ah yes, show more in intranet than opac
10:32 gerundio exactly
10:32 kf but it might be wrong, because patrons should be able to see what you store about them
10:32 kf but the view on this might differ
10:32 gerundio and what we have now in the exact opposite, right?
10:32 kf I think it's started more as a way to shorten the entry form
10:32 kf and it was done for that, but should probably be extended
10:33 kf you coudl file a feature request
10:34 gerundio btw, you said the only way to accomplish that is by using JS
10:34 gerundio a colleague of mine did it on a devel setup by changing the template files
10:34 gerundio is that a good way to go?
10:37 kf no
10:37 kf it will explode each and every time you update
10:37 kf Ithink if it#s just the user shouldn't see what you don't store about them anyway, js hsould be fine
10:37 kf they will see empty fields if js is deactivated
10:38 kf if you really wanted to hide something effectively changing the frameworks might be the only way to do it - but it's not recommendable because of the update pain
10:38 gerundio kf, thanks for saying what I wanted to ear :D
10:39 kf and changing frameworks is changing templats... it's monday :)
10:39 gerundio my colleague wanted to insert an id from another platform into the streetnumber field on koha
10:39 gerundio so we could do his integration
10:39 kf hm
10:39 gerundio I always said it was a bad idea
10:39 kf that's nto a good way to do it
10:39 kf do you need it for patron import?
10:39 gerundio he should use the LDAP username
10:40 kf gerundio: have you looked into extended patron attributes?
10:40 kf I think there is a patch around to make them work with ldap, so that might be a problem right now, but is the better way to do it I think
10:40 kf you can define a patron attribute to be unique
10:40 kf and visible or not in opac
10:40 kf and you can match on  unique patron attributes during patron import
10:52 gerundio kf, sorry for the hold up
10:52 gerundio my colleague was here and I was telling him what you told me
10:53 gerundio I'm already using extended patron attributes
10:53 gerundio but there's a bug already reported about LDAP mapping
10:54 gerundio don't know if the patch works, I have a task to test it in my TODO list :)
10:55 gerundio that would be a better solution no doubt about it
10:55 gerundio if I didn't think he'd be fine just with the LDAP username :)
10:55 kf :)
10:55 kf you will work it out :)
11:07 thd-away` joined #koha
11:40 vfernandes slips on 3.8.X and 3.10.X are configurable right?
11:40 kf yes
11:41 vfernandes quickslips only show the patron today checkouts?
11:41 kf i am not sure, maybe test it, but I think yes
11:42 vfernandes what you think about having renewal and checkin quick slips?
11:42 kf I think I woudl like checkin slips
11:42 kf because there is no way currently to do that and it's something common here
11:42 kf for renewal I could always print a complete account slip, but it might still be useful there too
11:44 vfernandes In one of my installations I've done a modification in order to haver quickslips for renewal and returns
11:44 vfernandes the problem with returns is the fines
11:44 vfernandes I never managed to do that in the right way
11:45 kf why the fines?
11:45 kf and there are slips (hardcoded but stil) I think for payments
11:45 tcohen joined #koha
11:46 vfernandes because normally the return slips envolves the payment of the fine if the book is overdue
11:46 vfernandes is a 2 in one slip: return and payment slip
11:47 kf hm
11:47 kf not necessarily
11:47 kf lots of people don't pay the fines when giving back and you always have to change into the patron account
11:47 vfernandes yes not necessarily
11:47 kf I think I woudl not mind having 2 separate slips
11:47 kf we could also have a "today's actions" slip
11:48 kf issues, returns and fines - from patron account
11:49 vfernandes issues, renewal, returns (with or without fines on the configuration) and fines
11:51 kf not sure how to do that in a user friendly way
11:53 vfernandes now there is 3 options in print button: Print summary, Print slip, Print quick slip
12:00 vfernandes joined #koha
12:01 vfernandes sorry kf... the system power went down
12:01 kf np
12:01 vfernandes I was saying that in the print option there is 3 option: print summary, print slip, print quick slip
12:03 vfernandes the idea was to set 5 options: summary, slip, checkout quick slip, return quick slip and renewal quick slip (I think we can take "Print .." from the link)
12:04 kf I always like the idea of more optiosn, but it can get overwhelmling eaisly
12:05 kf drojf++
12:06 vfernandes do you think that I should add this options? and about changing the "strings" removing "print" from the links?
12:06 kf I think removing print should be ok, if the button stays labelled... but not sure about accessibility  hm
12:07 kf maybe ask some more people?
12:07 drojf kf: huh?
12:09 vfernandes "Print" can be maintain there is not a real problem... but I think the omission can be done because the button is already as "Print"
12:09 kf drojf: bug wrangling :)
12:09 kf vfernandes: I wondered if it would be confusing for people not seeing the button :)
12:12 vfernandes "Print summary, Print slip, Checkout quick slip, Checkin quick slip, Renewal quick slip"
12:12 vfernandes Print checkout quick slip... maybe is too long :/
12:13 kf yeah
12:14 vfernandes "Checkout quick slip" is a good option?
12:14 sophie_m joined #koha
12:16 vfernandes I think so... I will create a bug for the implementation of renewal and checkin quick slips
12:17 vfernandes which should be the correct component of the bug? Circulation or patron?
12:17 drojf so what do i do if there is no complexity field that i have to set?
12:17 drojf (in bugzilla)
12:18 kf hm it shoudl show up when you switch to needs sign-off
12:18 kf vfernandes: maybe notices if there is one
12:18 kf or circ
12:18 drojf no it doesn't because i cannot switch because i canno set complexity
12:18 kf new bug?
12:19 drojf yes
12:20 drojf bug 9248
12:20 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=9248 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, NEW , Add a German Zebra language definition file
12:21 kf and what are you trying to do?
12:21 kf when i switch to need ssignoff, the patch complexity shows up for me
12:22 drojf where?
12:22 kf right column on top
12:22 vfernandes near sponsored

12:22 wahanui last one is the first one if you look backwards.
12:22 drojf that is where i expected it but it doesn't

12:23 drojf i could change to assigned. but i cannot change to needs sign off

12:55 druthb Now, that would be silly, kf.
12:55 kf hm right
12:57 drojf anyone ever looked at http://weblate.org/en/ for translation?
13:01 druthb drojf:  I just played with the demo a minute, and I kind of like it!  :)
13:02 kf i guess the big question for every tool is if it can handle our big files
13:03 druthb I can find that out.  My other curiosity will be how well it handles RTL languages.  Pootle *does*, but it's kind of ugly-looking and can be confusing to translators.
13:03 * kf nods
13:04 kf druthb: has the pootle server moved to his new home yet or is that in the works?

13:04 druthb drojf, kf, magnuse:  Once I get our pootle woes cleared up, I could spin up a test of this for a few folks to try out.
13:04 druthb kf:  still working on that.
13:04 druthb Hey, Brooke!
13:04 drojf druthb: that would be cool
13:04 drojf hi Brooke
13:04 Brooke howdy
13:05 kf druthb: did you see the request for new greek files on the mailing list?
13:05 druthb Since I'm not a translator, I'm unqualified to have an opinion on the "best tool."  But I wanna put this in *your* hands, and you tell me what you wanna use, and I'll see to it.
13:05 kf ah, you probably did
13:05 druthb I did, kf.
13:05 kf just let me knwo if I can help with something
13:06 drojf i have seen options for context of singular and plural forms. what i would like is context like depending on module and things :)
13:06 magnuse ki ora Brooke
13:07 magnuse s/ki/kia/
13:07 Brooke kia orrraaa
13:08 kf i am all for improving things
13:08 kf as long as it does not require any retranslating
13:10 drojf come on kf, a few thousand strings :P
13:11 Brooke all the cool kids are doin' it
13:12 druthb I like the easy-to-spot links to the source file on Weblate.  That's pretty slick.
13:12 drojf Translation context part allows you to see related information about current string. Nearby messages, Similar messages, All locations, Dictionary, Recent edits, Project
13:12 Brooke sechsy
13:12 kf drojf: maybe it would be possible to do that with pootle too
13:12 Brooke I <3 context
13:12 kf and we are just not doing it
13:13 drojf kf: maybe. i would have expected the previous translation managers to have known and talked about. but maybe that was never asked about
13:13 * Brooke still has nightmares about encroaching %s
13:13 drojf lol
13:13 magnuse yeah those %s's are pesky
13:14 kf I like having them better than not having them
13:14 kf it gave us a lot more context instead of single words
13:16 druthb ssssh...kf, you gotta quit talking about jcamins; he's here now.

14:37 drojf i don't see how we are more interesting than the french list or the spanish one
14:37 drojf mib_6eiq2g: it would help to ask a specific question. "don't know what to do" is pretty vague
14:37 drojf what is the problem?
14:37 wahanui the problem is it's human beings doing it. Rebuild your indexes.
14:37 drojf heh. ignore wahanui
14:37 drojf mib_6eiq2g: are you looking for a development version or a regular version of koha?
14:37 vfernandes printslip.pl uses the template, moremember.pl not.... shouldn't both of them use the templateS?

14:47 gerundio email setup?
14:48 gerundio is there any guide on how to setup email on koha?
14:48 gerundio I have postfix set on the server
14:48 gerundio but the notices aren't being received by patrons
14:49 gerundio I'm not sure what is originating this behavior, so I wanted to make sure everything is set up properly
14:49 drojf have you checked the logs?
14:50 * drojf goes out into the snow
14:50 gerundio drojf, I did
14:51 gerundio didn't find any relevant info there though
14:51 vfernandes have you set the KohaEmailAdminAddress or something like that?
14:51 gerundio yes
14:51 gerundio the cronjobs are in place too
14:52 vfernandes which is the result of the messages? failed?
14:52 vfernandes you can check in the database directly or in the patron details messages separator
14:53 gerundio the message_queue table is empty
14:53 gerundio which I find to be weird
14:53 vfernandes so the messages aren't being generated
14:53 gerundio as if no messages have been generated
14:53 gerundio exactly
14:54 vfernandes every patron category as messaging enable?
14:54 vfernandes EnhancedMessagingPreferences is enable?
14:55 gerundio EnhancedMessagingPreferences is not enabled
14:55 gerundio but that just seems to enable patrons to set they're notices receiving options, right?
14:55 kf gerundio: which kind of notices are you trying to send?
14:56 kf no, it enables the notices listed in the table in general - standards to be set at the patron category level
14:56 gerundio kf, some of our library operators have made some circulation tests
14:56 kf but it's not for overdues, that's why I was asking aboutthe message you want to send :)
14:56 kf checkout and checkin slips by email then?
14:56 gerundio borrowed some books and didn't return them to check the fines and overdue delivery notices
14:56 vfernandes you have to enable EnhancedMessagingPreferences
14:56 kf they have to make sure the patrons they test with have email addresses
14:57 kf and have the boxes ticked for the messages they want to receive
14:57 vfernandes and then set for each patron category the default message set
14:57 gerundio kf, all users have valid email addresses since our auth is being made via LDAP
14:57 kf the standards from the patron category are only applied to new patrons, for existing the messages are deactivated
14:57 kf vfernandes++ yep exactly :)
14:58 vfernandes for the existent patron I think you will need to set them manually
14:58 gerundio where can I check the patron category messaging setting?
14:58 vfernandes administration -> patron categories
14:58 gerundio I looked in "Patron category administration" but I don't see any such option
14:59 gerundio Overdue notice required?!?
14:59 vfernandes ..../cgi-bin/koha/admin/categorie.pl
15:00 vfernandes Have you enable EnhancedMessagingPreferences? Then when creating or editing a category will be a table in the end with the notices preferences
15:01 gerundio vfernandes, EnhancedMessagingPreferences was the answers
15:02 vfernandes each patron was now the same table on the details page
15:02 NateC joined #koha
15:02 vfernandes *has now
15:02 gerundio the text for the description of what this field does lead me in error
15:03 gerundio it looked to me that this allowed patrons to change their notices policies
15:03 vfernandes yes they can change it on the OPAC
15:03 vfernandes but it's the only way to activate the email sending
15:05 vfernandes maybe the preference should be change to only activate the configuration in the staff client... and then should be another to activate it in the OPAC

15:35 gerundio vfernandes, thanks for submitting the bug
15:35 gerundio btw, does koha consider weekends as open library days?
15:36 vfernandes depends on the library calendar
15:36 gerundio I just got a complaint saying that weekends were being accounted for
15:36 vfernandes you have to set in the library calendar that weekends are close days
15:37 gerundio so all I have to do is set 2 "Holiday repeating weekly", 1 for Saturday and 1 for Sunday?
15:38 vfernandes yes
15:39 vfernandes then you have so see your configurations if circulation and holds are using the close days or not
15:46 jcamins gerundio: you have to configure Koha to treat weekends as holidays.
15:48 jcamins magnuse: did changing the syntax work?
16:05 vfernandes how suspensions works in koha 3.8.X
16:05 vfernandes ?
16:06 vfernandes it's possible to set the following: a patron returns a overdue book with more than 15 days... the patron is debarred for 30 days
16:07 jcamins Is that a problem?
16:07 vfernandes after X days returns returns another overdue... those X days can be sum to the suspension?
16:08 jcamins I do not know.
16:08 jcamins Suspensions aren't commonly used in the US, so I've only ever used the feature when testing bugs.
16:09 vfernandes let me test it
16:12 gerundio Portuguese librarians love suspensions :p
16:22 asaurat left #koha
16:28 vfernandes debarred is always being set to '9999-12-31'
16:28 vfernandes :/

16:31 oleonard Are you talking about a debarral which is set by circulation rules?
16:31 kf left #koha
16:31 vfernandes yes... but I have a 30 days suspension
16:32 vfernandes on third overdue email (16 days after overdue) the patron is debarred and suspended for 30 days
16:33 jcamins I didn't think the overdue triggers allowed you to set the number of days.
16:33 jcamins I thought you were using fine-in-days.
16:33 jcamins They don't.
16:34 jcamins It's just a checkbox.
16:34 vfernandes humm ok... I thought suspension in days started at the beginning of the debar
16:35 jcamins No.
16:35 vfernandes ok thanks

17:03 magnuse um no. i created two instances, then loaded a 3.8 database dump into it one, and ran through the web installer on the other
17:03 magnuse then staged/imported the records from the dumped instance into the clean one

17:33 gerundio libsysguy, all back to normal now
17:33 gerundio sync is very handy indeed
17:33 libsysguy yup
17:36 gerundio is there any function to update a subfield for a given marc field on a record?
17:37 magnuse has anyone tried the 3.10 packages with unimarc?
17:37 gerundio I'm coding a script to update unimarc subfield 100 a
17:37 gerundio I'm able to see the values using $field->subfields()
17:38 gerundio I'm even able to update it using $field->{_subfields}[1] = new value
17:38 gerundio but I'm pretty sure there must be a better way
17:38 gerundio I can't really say if the value is always in index 1
17:39 magnuse gerundio:     my $subfield = $field->subfield( 'a' );
17:40 magnuse http://search.cpan.org/~gmchar[…]ubfield%28code%29
17:41 gerundio then for update all I have to do is $field->update(a => 'new value'), right?
17:42 magnuse yeah, i think so
17:42 gerundio thanks a lot
17:43 magnuse jcamins: i did apt-get remove/install koha-common to reset the common configs, and now both instances work with marcflavour = marc21 and fails with marcflavour = normarc. that's some kind of progress, i guess :-)
17:45 magnuse i think that the conclusion so far is that 3087 broke the packages for marcflavour != marc21, but i might be wrong
17:47 jcamins magnuse: that's my conclusion as well.
17:53 cait joined #koha
17:53 magnuse andeven if i choose nb-NO and normarc during installation, marcflavour is set to marc21 when i'm done with the installation... don't think it used to be like that
17:54 jcamins magnuse: I pushed a patch from you to fix that, and it worked when I tried it.
17:56 magnuse hm, the only one i can remember doing recently was the firstdayoftheweek setting
17:57 jcamins Oh, maybe that's the one I tested.
17:57 jcamins Alas, marcelr isn't around. I would've liked to ask if he'd heard of "Van Nelle."
17:58 magnuse oh well, i'll do some more digging tomorrow
17:58 magnuse jcamins: for lots of help and inspiration :-)
17:58 magnuse uh
17:58 magnuse jcamins++
17:58 magnuse there
17:59 gerundio jcamins, does the $field->update() function update all the references on the DB?

18:00 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=9256 critical, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, NEW , debian/templates/koha-conf-site.xml.in is hardcoded to retrieval syntax = usmarc
18:00 gerundio so far I have 1. GetMarcBiblio, 2. update the value on sublfield a
18:00 gerundio do I have to do something else?
18:00 jcamins gerundio: it updates a single field in a single record.
18:02 YoungPublicLibrarian joined #koha
18:02 jcamins gerundio: you'll need to save the record.
18:04 gerundio ok, but will it update both marc and marcxml collumns or just one of them?
18:04 YoungPublicLibrarian Pasting a report to the board, if someone could take a quick look at it and give me some advice it would be great!
18:04 pastebot "YoungPublicLibrarian" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "SELECT b.surname, b.firstname," (16 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/306
18:05 YoungPublicLibrarian With that report, how would I limit the results to just a specific branches fines? It already limits the patrons to that of a specific branch.
18:05 jcamins It will save both, provided you use the API.
18:05 chris_n its about time google owned up to their problems
18:06 chris_n http://www.google.com/appsstat[…]&ts=1355201999000
18:06 jcamins If you're using the template script, the way it saves the record should work.
18:07 gerundio ok, jcamins, thanks again
18:08 gerundio now I have to run
18:08 gerundio tomorrow is another day

20:36 cait quite sure I never tested 7919
20:36 cait but it says the tables already exist
20:36 jcamins I had asked you to test bug 7919 a while ago, so maybe you did.
20:37 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7919 new feature, P1 - high, ---, jonathan.druart, Pushed to Master , Display of values depending on the connexion library (authorised values, patron categories, extended attributes)
20:37 cait hm no I didn't
20:37 jcamins Oh, well, you might also have updated when it was only semi-merged.
20:37 cait hm maybe
20:37 jcamins (there was no version number set)
20:37 cait possible
20:37 wahanui it has been said that possible is everything, but I think it's probably easy to miss something here
20:38 oleonard members.patronimage.pl is really slow... 5.5 seconds to load a 65Kb jpeg :(
20:39 cait hm that sounds slow
20:39 jcamins Very slow.
20:39 cait are you testing or really doing it?
20:39 oleonard Of course that's on my dinky VM
20:39 oleonard I'm looking at how quickly assets load on circulation.pl
20:40 jcamins I hope we load the patron image in an AJAXy fashion?
20:40 jcamins If it takes 5.5 seconds.
20:41 oleonard It's an img src target, so I don't think doing it AJAXy would make a difference?
20:42 jcamins oleonard: I think the $(document).ready() Javascript won't fire until it's finished?
20:42 jcamins I could be mistaken.
20:42 oleonard I don't think that's correct
20:42 jcamins Do I have it backwards?
20:43 jcamins document.ready fires before everything has finished, and load fires after?
20:43 oleonard Yeah, that's why we have to use something like window.onload for managing Amazon covers and things like that
20:43 tcohen oh, --save-after-login, relieved i remembered u
20:43 jcamins Ah.
20:43 oleonard document.ready waits for the DOM to load, meaning the whole structure of the page
20:44 jcamins Okay, never mind, then.
20:44 jcamins I knew one of the triggers would wait until every single image had been downloaded.

20:59 jcamins lol
20:59 jcamins Yes.
21:00 tcohen can i tell it I use an external db?
21:00 jcamins Yes, but then you have to write the koha-common.cnf file yourself.
21:00 tcohen ok
21:00 tcohen a dialog for entering that data would be handy
21:01 jcamins Ooh, that would be nifty.

23:41 rangi just finished building one about 20 mins ago .. where is it stopping for you?
23:43 pastebot "drojf" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "build deb package" (332 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/308
23:44 drojf with all the dependencies and dummies i don't understand what is missing in the end
23:45 rangi you are missing a few
23:45 rangi what you need to do is add debian.koha-community.org to your sources list in your pbuilder instance
23:46 rangi because a few packages have crept in that arent in squeeze
23:46 rangi (or even wheezy)
23:46 rangi so we have ahd to package them (we as in eythian)
23:46 drojf ah that makes sense
23:46 rangi what i do is
23:46 rangi sudo pbuilder --login --save-after-login
23:46 eythian the command that does it all is in the wiki
23:46 rangi and just check the sources.list and add it then logout
