00:36 mib_ygxhlr joined #koha
00:37 mib_ygxhlr greetings, is there a simple way to tell what version of Koha I have installed via the staff client or terminal command line?
00:38 rangi go to the about page in the staff client
00:38 mib_ygxhlr excellent, thanks
00:39 rangi what version btw? im guessing 3.10.1
00:39 mib_ygxhlr yup
00:39 jcamins_away rangi: ... what reasoning led you to that correct conclusion?
00:40 mib_ygxhlr I didn't know if I was updating oldstable or sqeeze
00:41 rangi apt-cache policy koha-common
00:41 rangi will tell you too
00:41 rangi if you are using the packages
00:41 rangi jcamins_away: someone new to koha, most likely has new version :)
00:41 rangi jcamins_away: that was my guess anyway
00:42 mib_ygxhlr apt-cache worked too - thanks
00:42 jcamins_away rangi: heh. Seems to have been a good guess.
00:44 mib_ygxhlr ok, here's a better one
00:44 mib_ygxhlr what table contains the holdings/item info for a book barcode and how do I look at that in mysql?
00:45 mib_ygxhlr I can see the tables, but am new to sql
00:46 mib_ygxhlr I should say I can see the tables in my koha library in sql - is it the biblio table?
00:48 rangi no
00:48 mib_ygxhlr gtg, thanks for the help
00:48 rangi items
00:48 rangi ok then
00:59 ibeardslee hmmmm ... the Kiritaki Koha group filled up real quick, but noone has picked Koha (unless people start changing around) :(
01:00 jcamins_away ibeardslee: tell them that the RM is not nearly as scary as he sounds.
01:02 * cjh runs out to buy cookies
01:02 wizzyrea "work on Koha, we have cookies"
01:03 cjh it could work..
01:03 wizzyrea or chocolate.
01:03 wahanui reiveune ate them all
01:03 jcamins_away lol
01:04 ibeardslee cjh: also use the academy moodle (discussion forum) to help sell it
01:04 cjh the cookies?
01:04 wahanui Cookies are delicious delicacies
01:05 ibeardslee well you could try to sell the cookies, but 'selling' koha would be betterer
01:06 jcamins_away "Work on Koha, we understand the importance of cookies and are always prepared to cheer you up with a plate of fresh cookies."
01:07 jcamins_away Also, "work on Koha, the RM just baked 121 rum chocolate chip cookies, and if you work on Koha he'll probably give you some if you go to the US."
01:07 cjh theres a koha person!!!!!
01:08 jcamins_away \o/
01:08 cjh and 23 havent answered yet
01:08 cjh to battle!!!
01:08 cjh no, they are the tutors. drats.
01:15 jcamins_away What are the other projects?
01:17 jcamins_away There's an online cooking show called "kamikaze cookery"? Awesome!
01:21 mib_vczt1x jcamins_away: you reviewed the submission i made for the centos?
01:24 jcamins_away mib_vczt1x: yes, it looked good! :D
01:24 jcamins_away Thanks!
01:25 ibeardslee cjh: yeah I've been trying to workout how to configure the setting so only students show
01:25 cjh ibeardslee: dont do that, then it will seem like the koha team is even smaller!
01:26 ibeardslee but that is confusing
02:35 wizzyrea so how are we doing database updates now? did we roll back the big change to that?
02:36 jcamins_away We did, yes.
02:36 jcamins_away updatedatabase works the same way as before.
02:36 wizzyrea ok so do it the old way still?
02:36 wizzyrea ok cool.
02:36 * wizzyrea still may need help but... will do her best/worst

03:50 eythian I wouldn't have the **
03:50 eythian why not <i> or <b>?
03:51 wizzyrea will it show that? I honestly didn't try.
03:51 eythian I dunno, but if not it'd be worth making it do so
03:51 eythian or have it turn '*...*' into italics or something
03:51 wizzyrea hm
03:53 wizzyrea hah it does work. How funny.
03:53 wizzyrea ok yes, that's nicer.
03:53 eythian It's effort to make something like that not work, usually :)
03:53 wizzyrea ^.^
03:56 wizzyrea http://imgur.com/GZGBV
03:56 wizzyrea I think that gets the point across.
03:57 eythian that does look better

03:59 eythian ^-- on a scale of one to totally wrong...
03:59 * wizzyrea blinks
03:59 eythian Well, I suppose it could be conditional
03:59 eythian I haven't checked that
04:00 wizzyrea that's my cue I think.

09:38 barriers_ joined #koha
09:38 kf hi samuel
09:41 samuel i'v solved my problems correctly for item, our base run  but there's something trouble: when i enter barcode , i've this message "Can't call method "subfield" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 3008, <DATA> line 581." but in circulation history, i find my book.
09:41 samuel something may miss in my configuration but where?
09:48 kf samuel: what do youmean by circulation history?
09:49 kf and where are you entering the barcode when it's not found?
09:52 samuel oups, my translation is not good. I choose a borrower, i have the page "checking out to Mr ....", i enter item barcode and i've this error.
09:55 H joined #koha
09:55 samuel i think i have to look at my zebra configuration;
09:56 rangi circulation doesnt use zebra
09:56 rangi and with that, i am going to sleep :)
09:57 samuel good night :-)
09:57 kf what rangi said
09:57 kf check the barcode is in your items table
09:58 gerundio joined #koha
09:58 kf I think there is something wrong with your data
09:58 kf how did you add the items?
09:59 samuel with marc-mir, i've fixed the problem i had last week
09:59 kf so you added the items to your marc records?
09:59 kf and how did you get them imported? using staged marc import?
10:00 samuel bulkmarcimport
10:00 lms joined #koha
10:00 kf ok
10:00 reiveune left #koha
10:00 kf so you imported them into an empty datbase?
10:00 kf did you rebuild your zebra index?
10:01 samuel yes, of course  and i've rebuild my zebra index but i've doubt, i will check my configuration
10:01 kf did you check the entry in the items table for the barcode you tried?
10:02 samuel the import worked very well (we have many records without barcodes but it's another story)
10:04 samuel link between item and record are ok
10:06 kf hm
10:07 ryzasss joined #koha
10:07 ryzasss hi
10:08 kf samuel: sorry, running out of ideas here, but hard to see what's going wrong from here
10:08 kf hi ryzasss
10:08 ryzasss I have a problem maybe somebody could help
10:08 samuel kf: this link http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.[…]ue-td3048066.html give me some ideas
10:11 magnuse samuel: did you check the marc record? to me "Can't call method "subfield" on an undefined value" sounds like a problem with the record. like koha looking for a field/subfield that is not in the record
10:12 samuel good idea, i'll  make a test.
10:13 magnuse samuel: and what does  /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 3008 do (in your version)?
10:13 kf magnuseüü
10:13 kf magnuse++ sorry typoed :)
10:14 samuel magnuse: i'll check
10:14 ryzasss I am trying to install Koha on ubuntu. On instalation guide i reached the point. Web installion> here i am stuck ,, lynx http://library-intra.framisdooby.org:80 it redirects me to maitenance and stops working
10:14 ryzasss Pls some advice
10:14 magnuse ryzasss: you need to access the admin interface
10:15 magnuse probably replace :80 with :8080 at the end of the url
10:15 kf ^^ what he said :)
10:16 magnuse hm, library-intra should probably be the intranet? but the maintenance message certainly comes from the opac

14:41 oleonard Wow Bug 8661 has turned out to be a huge pain in the ass.
14:41 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8661 minor, P5 - low, ---, oleonard, Patch doesn't apply , break out additional authors in opac like in staff
14:41 NateC joined #koha
14:43 kf oleonard: I am sorry for that :(
14:43 oleonard Not your fault of course.
14:43 jcamins Hey, has anyone noticed authors not having any spaces in their names?
14:43 kf it had to wait for some time
14:44 kf I tried looking at the conflict, but was not sure how to fixit and the entities were really irritating me
14:44 kf jcamins: huh? :)
14:44 jcamins I don't have an example, but a few times I've seen screenshots of Koha installations where all the words in authors' names are run together without spaces.
14:45 magnuse kf: i think the entities are part of the xslt logic? because you cant say x>1 in xslt
14:45 jcamins Yeah, the entities are correct.
14:45 kf ah
14:45 magnuse ...without making it invalid xslt
14:45 kf I didn't know that
14:46 oleonard jcamins: Eliminating spaces saves catalogers valuable time otherwise spent hitting the space bar?
14:46 kf all good then, only a conflict to fix.... hope a not too hard one
14:46 jcamins oleonard: heh.
14:47 kf jcamins: can't remember seeing it - but I think we have some inconsistencies in the xslt files
14:47 kf regardng spaces
14:48 oleonard jcamins: When my library first started adding records to an electronic catalog the data-entry people were told to use all caps to save time
14:48 jcamins That's horrible!
14:48 kf ouch.
14:48 jcamins Funny, but horrible.
14:48 oleonard Luckily those were real MARC records back then
14:48 oleonard were *not*
14:50 magnuse no worries, you can just run ucfirst on it ;-)

14:54 lms Hello!
14:55 kf hi lms
14:57 lms Does anyone know how to put a new field in "Koha to MARC mapping"? I'm using UNIMARC and koha uses 995 but I want to use 966
14:57 jcamins manual?
14:57 wahanui i heard manual was at http://www.koha-community.org/documentation
14:58 jcamins ^^ the manual should have a section on Koha to MARC mappings.
14:58 jcamins However, I'd strongly recommend against changing the item mapping.
14:58 * kf seconds that
14:58 * magnuse too
14:59 kf lms: you will end up getting very disappointed with yourself if you do that.
14:59 kf lms: the search will not be working.
14:59 kf lms: well the search for item relevant data like barcode, you will have to edit files to make that work and it going to explode at every update you ever make
15:00 lms hmm, ok. thank you all

15:57 jcamins Hello.
16:02 jcamins I just learned that there are some counties in the US that are in more than one state.
16:03 jcamins Oh, I see.
16:03 jcamins They're not anymore.
16:08 rambutan Yea, they tend to wander around like that sometimes.

16:54 rambutan I need some help--I normally don't do any admin within Koha, but my TS supervisor is gone and I need to give a staff member, currently with just regular patron privileges, access to the staff interface.
16:55 rambutan where do I do that?
16:57 asaurat left #koha
16:57 jcamins View the patron record, then click on the More button and "Set permissions."

17:27 gerundio hi, how can I disable ISBD view in OPAC?
17:27 jatara Hi, all. Does anyone know why the reports page prints out in teeny tiny font on some computers but not on others?
17:27 gerundio I only found one preference "viewISBD" but that's just for the staff client
17:28 gerundio jatara, can you give an example?
17:28 gerundio do people use the same browser across the different computers?
17:29 jcamins gerundio: you could hide the button with CSS/Javascript.
17:29 jatara It's hard to explain, but my librarians are running a customized report that I created. Some people are reporting that it prints out in teeny tiny font and others (like me) find the size is perfectly adequate. I do have a copy of the teeny tiny font report and it's indeed printing that way, but not on my computer
17:30 jcamins I don't see any syspref for changing it.
17:30 jatara We are a school district. All our settings are the same, including browsers.
17:30 jcamins jatara: that's going to be a local configuration problem.
17:30 jatara where?
17:30 jcamins Something to do with your printer settings.
17:30 cait jatara: maybe they set some print setting to reduce it to one page or 80% or something?
17:30 cait jatara: it often happens to me when I do that on purpose that it sticks for later printouts
17:31 jcamins Those seem like good guesses.
17:31 jatara Nope. Another person and I printed to the same printer -- got two completely different sizes.
17:31 cait browser settings for printers
17:31 cait not settings from the printer
17:31 jcamins Printer settings on your computer.
17:32 cait if you go to print and then... settings... I only know how it's called in german
17:32 jcamins I can't give you any more specific advice than that because the last time I used Windows for printing something, XP was new enough that companies weren't upgrading.
17:32 cait 'seite einrichten'
17:32 jatara That's not possible. I have one person reports she gets both regular size and teeny tiny size on same report, same computer, same printer.
17:32 gerundio jcamins++
17:33 cait jatara: I think we can be pretty sure it's not koha... so it must be something done locally.
17:33 jcamins jatara: in that case it has nothing to do with Koha.
17:33 jcamins Koha just uses the browser's print functionality.
17:34 jatara All right. Thanks so much!
17:34 jcamins I'd try and watch the librarian, see if she does anything different between when it works and when it doesn't.
17:34 jcamins With print preview/without print preview or something like that.
17:35 jcamins (does Windows have print preview?)
17:35 jcamins (it must)
17:38 jatara Firefox has print preview so that's something to look at

18:26 drojf cool! so when are you getting the next one? :D
18:26 jcamins lol
18:26 jcamins Not for a while.
18:27 jcamins My next Raspberry Pi is going to be used for building an absurdly over-functional multimeter.
18:27 drojf excellent idea :D
18:27 jcamins I have a caliper with a serial port, so I decided that I should hook it up to a Raspberry Pi.
18:27 jcamins Then I thought "why stop there?"
18:28 drojf lol. never stop ;)
18:28 jcamins So I have decided I need a Raspberry Pi that supports precise distance measurements using the caliper, temperature measurements using a thermocouple, all the functionality one generally expects from an electrical multimeter, a hygrometer...
18:28 jcamins Also very tempting is a laser distance finder.
18:29 jcamins And no, you are not mistaken in thinking that I don't do anything that would require _any_ of these devices.
18:29 drojf perfect!
18:29 drojf everybody should be able to measure a lot of stuff. just in case
18:30 jcamins Also under consideration is my own Pi-controlled amateur radio tranceiver.
18:30 drojf :)
18:30 jcamins Because everyone needs a Pi-controlled amateur radio tranceiver, especially if they don't like talking on radios because they're shy.

19:07 jcamins Morning.
19:07 wahanui hmmm... morning is a state of mind. or whenever the cat wants breakfast.
19:07 jcamins Question for you (anyone): does "synchronous index updates" make sense?
19:07 libsysguy does that mean indexes that happen instantly?
19:07 jcamins Yes.
19:08 libsysguy then yes
19:08 libsysguy it does :)
19:08 jcamins Yay!
19:08 libsysguy BUT I think you should have to raise a pinky while saying it
19:08 jcamins What I had written was "and indexing happens immediately when a record is updated," but that sounds dumb.
19:08 jcamins lol
19:09 rangi how about
19:09 rangi indexing happens immediately
19:10 rangi or updated records are indexed immediately
19:10 libsysguy if it is synchronous I would expect it would block all other indexes
19:10 jcamins Ooh, that last one fits the sentence perfectly, thanks!

21:24 cjh jcamins: how long does shipping take from <insert where jcamins lives>

22:08 cait the indicators and fields are read in the wrong sequence
22:08 wizzyrea ew yea
22:08 wizzyrea but we are not touching cataloging :/
22:08 cait and pull down menus with yui :(
22:08 cait she can't use them
22:08 wizzyrea oh yea pulldowns are terribad
22:08 jcamins cait: you make it sound like there might be anything right about cataloging.
22:09 cait jcamins: we don't use it really ;)
22:09 jcamins Heh.
22:09 cait well, actually this library does
22:09 cait they have a lot of locally catalogued materials
22:10 cait wizzyrea: I was hoping the jquery menu would come along and make things better, but it seems even oleonard gave up on it
22:10 cait maybe providing a nicer fallback could be done somehow
22:10 cait not sure
22:11 eythian oh yeah, we've had the menu thing come up. The cart dropdown is not usable on the OPAC either
22:11 cait I think the fallback for the cart is, that it's not even there if you have no javascript
22:12 cait but if you have javascript at some rate.... it's probably a problem
22:12 cait libsysguy: around?

22:14 libsysguy let me save and apply
22:14 cait and it's not big code changes
22:14 cait cool thx
22:15 cjh cait: sorry back, yeah pulldowns from menu in yui are useless with screen readers
22:16 cait terribad.
22:16 cjh they appears as links (ie 'more') and the dropdown isnt near, not sure if we can fix that though.
22:16 cait yeah I thought it was difficult
22:16 cjh what we are looking at first is circ feedback, as many of the messages are ages away from the input field and are not headers (so difficult to find)
22:16 cait those are the 2 main things that were reported to me... and both not easy
22:17 cait cjh: I think every bit of improvement will be great :)
22:18 cait hm only 10 more to catch up to jonathan...
22:18 cjh possibly for the dropdown we could replace yui and write our own js that does it 'right'
22:19 cjh all it would really involve is making the html close and obvious, prob also adding context to the dropdown ie 'more tools (dropdown)'
22:20 cait making some first notes on a bug woudl be good too I think
22:20 cait ok :) sleep time here
