01:53 wizzyrea WHAT
01:54 wizzyrea madness.
01:54 wahanui madness is manyfold - ask me for the second sign of madness.
02:11 wizzyrea second sign of madness?
02:11 wahanui second sign of madness is, like, hairs on the palms of my hands

04:20 eythian so there's biblio.notes and biblioitems.notes. Are they actually both used ever?
04:26 qu-bit joined #koha
04:50 mtj eythian, yes… i think both are mapped to a marc framework subfield
04:54 mtj hmm, im wrong - only biblio.notes is mapped, to 500a
04:54 mtj marc 500a
04:55 mtj @marc 500 a
04:55 huginn mtj: General note
04:56 mtj … and item.itemnotes is mapped to 952z, too

06:39 cait morning magnuse :)
06:40 libsysguy I should…but I can't
06:40 libsysguy so I'm patching instead
06:40 libsysguy the best code is written late at night
06:40 libsysguy and I need to be delirious to be working in addbiblio.pl
06:40 magnuse hehe
06:41 libsysguy we have a request for a save and contine editing option in addbiblio
06:42 * libsysguy is trying to figure out how to do that :-/
06:47 cait oh hm
06:47 libsysguy it saves weird
06:54 magnuse and not just because what it saves is MARC? ;-)
06:54 libsysguy heh indeed, it uses CGI::scrolling_list
06:55 libsysguy why can't it just post like a well behaved fuction
07:03 cait yeah it shouldn't use that
07:04 * libsysguy is not touching that
07:12 laurence joined #koha

08:57 gaetan_B yep
09:01 magnuse kf++ for filing bugs in her sleep :-)
09:02 kf um thx?

09:10 gerundio good morning
09:12 kf morning gerundio
09:14 gerundio kf :)
09:15 qu-bit_ joined #koha
09:25 kf magnuse++
09:25 drojf there wouldn't be some kind of graphic representation available of what koha xslt files do with the controlfields? i'm mainly looking into 008 at the moment but other fields may follow
09:26 magnuse not that i know of
09:26 * drojf kicks MARC gently in the balls
09:26 kf graphic?
09:26 libsysguy only gently
09:26 kf lol
09:26 kf libsysguy: go to bed!
09:26 libsysguy I'm trying to catch you for QA
09:26 * magnuse shouts #marcmustdie at the top of his lungs
09:26 libsysguy but I do need to sleep soon
09:27 drojf kf: well, i don't know. something that is less painful than searching through all the weird constraints in the file :D
09:27 drojf i hate that field
09:27 kf drojf: you will be happy to know that result list and detail pages work differently
09:27 drojf also i wonder why there is one staff client xslt that uses like 10 subfields and the others use only 008/21
09:28 kf yep exactly that
09:28 drojf yeah i know, it's cool, right???
09:28 drojf :P
09:28 kf the code needs... lots of ....
09:28 libsysguy okay I'm at 10 for th emonth
09:28 drojf recycle bin?
09:28 drojf :D
09:28 libsysguy I think that means I can finish for tongiht
09:28 libsysguy gnight all
09:28 drojf good night libsysguy
09:30 kf drojf: yeah
09:30 magnuse and there is tons of copy-and-paste between the xslt files...
09:31 kf drojf: I had a complaint of one of our libraries for the wrong symbol showing... I tried but got so confused I ran out screaming
09:31 kf drojf: what woudl be cool would be to make it an include
09:31 kf like utils
09:31 kf we would still need 2 files, but there is no point in having all the code in there I think
09:31 kf and we coudl use the same for results and detail
09:32 magnuse includes++
09:33 magnuse xslt--
09:33 magnuse ;-)
09:34 kf xslt++
09:34 kf I like it
09:34 kf it's like with zebra
09:35 kf not its fault when we don't use it in a smart way
09:36 drojf there is a smart way to use zebra? :D
09:38 kf jcamins is on vacation, but he could tell you :)
09:38 drojf meh. so we got >0°. and to celebrate that, we got rain
09:38 kf I think most of our problems stem from Search.pm
09:38 kf drojf: lol
09:38 magnuse @karma C4::Search
09:38 huginn magnuse: Karma for "C4::Search" has been increased 0 times and decreased 32 times for a total karma of -32.
09:39 drojf @karma Search.pm
09:39 huginn drojf: Karma for "Search.pm" has been increased 0 times and decreased 2 times for a total karma of -2.
09:39 magnuse hehe, i think people tend to agree with you, kf
09:39 kf @karma Search.pm
09:39 huginn kf: Karma for "Search.pm" has been increased 0 times and decreased 2 times for a total karma of -2.
09:39 kf ah riht, you did that :)
09:41 drojf lol
09:54 drojf hm. SRU works fine, unfortunately i am too stupid to read the data with javascript/jquery :(
09:56 magnuse process marcxml with javascript? sounds scary... ;-)
09:57 drojf i would probably take dublin core ;)
09:59 kf drojf: what are you trying to do?
09:59 paul_p joined #koha
09:59 kf morning paul_p
09:59 kf paul_p: my train tickets to marseille arrived :)
10:02 paul_p hello kf.
10:02 paul_p nice about tickets to marseille ;-)
10:02 * paul_p still recovering from flu. one full week AFK...
10:03 kf oh no
10:03 pastebot "gerundio" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "Update subfield 995$b / item's homebranch" (40 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/372
10:04 gerundio I'm using that code snippet in a script to update subfield 995$b / item's homebranc
10:04 gerundio can anyone take a look and find out why it isn't working as expected?
10:05 kf gerundio: what does it do?
10:05 kf or not do :)
10:05 kf I think you want to update all items to have complete information?
10:05 gerundio it should update 995$b to the value FCT
10:06 gerundio for the records from the items table that don't have the homebranch as NULL
10:06 kf ew
10:06 kf word decided to open links in ie suddenly
10:06 kf *shudder*
10:06 gerundio 995$b is mapped to that column
10:07 gerundio ..oo(gotta love all that messed up MS integration!!)
10:07 magnuse gerundio: how *is* it working? what is it doing that you did not expect?
10:07 gerundio magnuse, it isn't doing anything
10:07 gerundio all records fall into the 1st condition
10:07 magnuse oops :-=
10:07 gerundio none of them as the 995 tag
10:07 magnuse huh :-)
10:08 gerundio so if (!$field) returns true
10:08 kf hm
10:08 kf maybe it that is true?
10:08 kf I think we only put item information to the marcxml for indexing?
10:08 gerundio as it shoudl
10:08 gerundio should ^^
10:08 kf maybe instead of using the bilbio functions you could look into items?
10:08 magnuse good point from kf
10:08 kf I mean there shoudl be routines to update item related information
10:09 gerundio but the parent field doesn't even exist in this case
10:09 gerundio I made code for all the conditions I remembered
10:09 kf not sure your script will make it go to zebraqueue too
10:09 gerundio 1 -> tag doesn't exist
10:09 kf gerundio: in the database there is no 995 in marcxml
10:09 kf never
10:10 gerundio 2 -> tag 995 exists, subfield b doesn't
10:10 gerundio 3-> subfield 995$b already exists
10:10 gerundio right, it saves as 999
10:10 gerundio is that it?
10:10 kf hm not even that
10:10 wahanui not even that is cold :)
10:10 kf that is marc_subfields_xml
10:10 kf that is only the additional fields
10:10 kf not sure I can explain that right
10:10 gerundio you mean items' more_subfields_xml
10:11 kf yep
10:11 kf there it's 999
10:11 kf but that's nothing to do with the marcxml later on
10:12 gerundio not sure I understand
10:12 gerundio what is the correct way to update this
10:13 gerundio regarding your comment on zebraqueue, by using ModBiblio I'm making sure that it will updated there, right?
10:14 kf gerundio: I am sorry, I have never written or used a script like that - I am not sure
10:14 kf for item information it might be enough to update the items table with sql and do a complete reindex
10:14 gerundio kf, thanks anyway :)
10:14 kf because items are not stored together with the bibliographic information
10:14 gerundio kf, that's what I'm avoiding
10:14 gerundio no direct SQL injection
10:15 gerundio by using Koha library methods I'm sure not to break indexes
10:19 magnuse i agree with kf - i think the only place you can edit the item info is in the db
10:20 gerundio magnuse, I've done it before in other scripts
10:20 gerundio though this is the 1st time I have to add a full field
10:21 magnuse maybe have a look at C4::Items::ModItem() ?
10:24 gerundio I have
10:25 gerundio but the field doesn't even exist in this case
10:25 gerundio I need to update 995$b but there's no 995 tag
10:25 kf if there is no 995 there is no item
10:26 kf that's what we are trying to tell you :)
10:27 gerundio that's why I add it with
10:27 gerundio $field = MARC::Field->new(
10:27 gerundio '995', '', '',
10:27 gerundio 'b' => 'FCT'
10:27 gerundio );
10:27 gerundio $record->insert_fields_ordered($field);
10:27 gerundio wait the item record exists
10:27 gerundio so, there is a item
10:28 kf why would you add the field? when there is no titem?
10:28 kf I think that is not right
10:28 kf a 995 indicates an item and I think you only want to update incomplete item records?
10:29 pastebot "gerundio" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "MySQL item record with no 995$b nor homebranch set" (57 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/373
10:30 gerundio kf, take a look at that MySQL item record
10:30 gerundio no 995$b in more_subfields_xml and homebranch is NULL
10:30 kf gerundio: I think there is a basic misunderstanding how koha works
10:30 gerundio since they are mapped to each other I wan't to set it
10:31 kf yes, you should have homebranch and holdingbranch set
10:31 kf forget about more_subfields_xml
10:31 kf item data in koha is stored in the items table.
10:31 kf for indexing, koha takes the contents of the items table and adds it to the marcxml record. for each line in items, there is one 995 field.
10:31 gerundio unless we're dealing with unmapped fields, right?
10:32 kf mappings are irrelevant
10:35 skk joined #koha
10:36 gerundio so, replacing all that code for something like ModItem({'homebranch' => 'FCT'}, $biblionumber, $itemnumber); should be enough?
10:39 skk i am trying to set UniqueItemfields as barcode but it does not seem to work. I tried adding one accession number and then ordering new book and giving same accession number system does not give any message but keeps that item as blank
10:39 skk without any barvode
10:39 gerundio kf++ magnuse++ ModItem({'homebranch' => 'FCT'}, $biblionumber, $itemnumber); did the trick
10:41 kf skk: which version are you looking at?
10:41 kf gerundio: sorry, at work, can't always pay attention here
10:42 gerundio kf, no problem, that's IRC ;) you were of great help
10:42 drojf wow, jquery sucks. i found like 10 solutions for a problem and each stopped working in a later version.
10:42 kf ah and yes, for unmapped fields that have not their own column in the items table they end up in more_subfields_xml
10:42 kf bad at explaining probably :)
10:47 gerundio drojf, it's evolution
10:48 drojf gerundio: it's only evolution if it works now
10:48 drojf so far i don't see how
10:48 gerundio ehehe
10:49 gerundio just making a Pearl Jam song quote that fits the situation
10:49 gerundio what are you trying to do, maybe I or someone else here can help
10:50 drojf parse xml that i get from SRU. apparently it does not like namespace prefixes
10:51 drojf anyway, to the library. later. /o/
10:51 gerundio cya later, good luck with that
11:03 skk 3.8.6
11:05 kf hm I think there was a bug with that, but not sure which version
11:05 kf skk: maybe try checking bugzilla?
11:05 kf bugs?
11:05 wahanui well, bugs is found at http://bugs.koha-community.org. Please fix any bugs you find. :) or reporting them is helpful, too.
11:06 skk hmm 8684 number has reported this issue

11:07 kf oh right, I reported that
11:08 kf skk: you could add your version and the behavioru there - it could help getting it fixed

14:04 drojf who of you geeks smuggled 'comic books' into 008/33:literary form for books? LOC does not have that field ;)
14:05 magnuse drojf: "git blame" will tell you :-)
14:06 drojf it may have been in an older MARC version. i found several differences between LOC and kohas XSLT file
14:09 jcamins_away drojf: it was obsoleted in 2008.
14:10 * chris_n tells jcamins_away to get back to vacation ;-)
14:10 drojf thanks for ending your holiday early to tell me this, jcamins_away. it was not that important though ;)
14:13 magnuse lol
14:15 drojf so what is our policay on MARC changes? should that in theory be up to date or do we want to retain backwards compatibility for people that catalogued their comic books pre-2008?
14:17 gerundio anyone here is familiarized with the batchRebuildBiblioTables.pl script?
14:18 gerundio I've done Koha to MARC mapping for some items' table columns
14:19 gerundio but running the script doesn't update the items' columns values with the values stored in the XML
14:20 gerundio I've looked into the script source code and noticed that the localNEWmodbiblio function calls C4::Biblio::_koha_modify_biblio and C4::Biblio::_koha_modify_biblioitem_nonmarc
14:20 gerundio but nothing to work the updates on the data stored in the items table
14:23 gerundio the source code has some references to @items, which are processed for each biblio
14:24 gerundio but I don't see them being used anywhere
14:24 liw any Koha people going to FOSDEM?
14:45 magnuse liw: not i. are you?
14:46 liw I am

15:10 oleonard Hm, looks like maybe "interface?"

15:22 oleonard I guess I didn't realize we were ready to start moving things to intranet-tmpl/lib. There's a fair amount of stuff that can be easily moved
15:23 libsysguy that should make it easier to be cached right?
15:23 jcamins_away libsysguy: weren't you just QAing things six hours ago?
15:23 libsysguy yes
15:23 libsysguy I was
15:23 jcamins_away oleonard: well, moving things that are already in prog/en can wait, but since it has to be done eventually, we might as well start with Bootstrap in the right place.
15:24 oleonard jcamins_away: can wait, or should wait?
15:25 jcamins_away oleonard: the former. If someone felt like starting to move things, that'd be great.
15:26 libsysguy ^^
15:28 oleonard Speaking of Bootstrap, QAing, etc: Now is a great time to remember Bug 9265!
15:28 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=9265 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, oleonard, Signed Off , Switch to HTML5 doctype in OPAC and staff client
15:36 gerundio am I reading correctly, is Koha going to adopt Bootstrap soon?
15:37 oleonard gerundio: We are beginning to incorporate elements of Bootstrap
15:37 gerundio cool
15:38 gerundio I've been using it in a new internal project and I must say it's so good to be able to abstract myself from the look & feel of it
15:38 gerundio everything looks good in desktop, laptops, mobiles and tablets
15:40 oleonard gerundio: We don't have any plans at this point to convert the staff client to use the Bootstrap grid
15:40 oleonard gerundio: That would be a pretty huge undertaking
15:41 gerundio have you simply try to use bootstrap CSS to overide koha's current styles and see how it looked?
15:41 oleonard Yes. There are a fair amount of conflicts, and of course the grid system doesn't work without HTML changes.
15:42 oleonard I say conflicts meaning styles we have defined which Bootstrap defines differently.
15:43 gerundio that's standard behavior, bootstrap uses very common class names
15:43 gerundio so conflicts are to be expected
15:43 gerundio but the overall result is very messy?
15:44 oleonard Yes

15:46 skk we imported lot of data from excel to marc 21 and then to koha. when we try to check authority records it says no results. is there any way to get these records searched by authority database as well
15:46 jcamins_away No. Authority records and bibliographic records are completely different things.
15:47 jcamins_away You would need to create authority records and load those.
15:48 skk for new books it automatically creates authority records but the old retrospective data which is already imported into koha we were wondering hw to make them available in authority database as well
15:49 jcamins_away You would need to generate authorities from the CSV file.

16:12 gerundio kf do you recall telling me that I should always run the batchRebuildBiblioTables.pl script after making changes in the Koha to MARC mapping?
16:31 kf gerundio: I think that only applies if you do changes on biblioitems/biblio
16:31 gerundio right
16:31 kf I have never run it myself I have to say
16:32 gerundio even so, do you feel capable of helping me figure out how to enable the script to update items records too?
16:32 kf gerundio: I think youmight better ask someone else
16:33 kf I have never poked around in that code so far
16:33 gerundio kf, np, thanks anyway :)
16:33 gerundio just got a new one in :s
16:34 gerundio does field bibliosubject.subject mean anything to anyone?
16:35 oleonard gerundio: I don't think bibliosubject is used anymore
16:36 gerundio right oleonard, I found no traces of it anywhere
16:37 gerundio even so in the MARC framework editor, field 606$a was showing a reference to it
16:39 gerundio oleonard, the mistery just got solved
16:40 gerundio someone imported MARC frameworks from a 3.2 koha setup into our own 3.8 setup to use as starting point
16:40 gerundio everyday a new surprise :s

19:06 oleonard Why did you change it?
19:06 mib_y9ooho so, if left at default i cant search, im using Koha 3.08.06.000
19:06 mib_y9ooho cause ^
19:07 oleonard Koha to MARC mapping is not usually the cause of failed search
19:07 oleonard search faq?
19:07 wahanui search faq is http://koha-community.org/documentation/faq/
19:07 mib_y9ooho im importing the DB from DocBase btw
19:09 cait mib_y9ooho: don't change it
19:09 oleonard mib_y9ooho: I would leave your mapping as it was by default and check out the search faq
19:09 mib_y9ooho only thing i changed was this "biblionumber001@control field" so i could search for books, im looking ate the faq
19:09 oleonard 33000000072326

20:37 jcamins_away Maybe I'll see if they have a copy of American Gods.
20:37 jcamins_away I've never read it.

20:37 jcamins_away Thankfully it's fiction so the fact that I can't tell based on the catalog doesn't matter.

20:59 wizzyrea oh hey oleonard
20:59 wizzyrea thanks for looking and doing that bootstrap stuff
21:00 wizzyrea our student is going to be coming back on mondays (I think) to do more
21:00 wizzyrea work - what do you think is the best way to go about that?
21:00 cjh oleonard++
21:00 wizzyrea so you're not duplicating effort
21:01 cait oleonard: is there something we can help with? I would really like to see bootstrap in 3.12
21:01 cjh \o/
21:01 cait I think I will change the templates for now - make it links
21:02 cait and hope for the next version to fix it for good
21:02 cait :)
21:03 oleonard wizzyrea: The next thing I want to start tackling is replacing YUI buttons, split buttons, and menu buttons. I think that means taking it on toolbar-by-toolbar basis
21:03 wizzyrea would it be helpful if corey kind of eradicated the yui, then you can go through and style it?
21:04 rangi theres librarians without borders too
21:04 eythian oleonard: is it possible to make T::T modules for buttons, so the actual definitions are centralised?
21:04 cait oleonard: could you start in circulation maybe?
21:04 rangi its all very confusing :)
21:04 eythian rangi: wouldn't they just collapse in a jelly-like heap on the ground?
21:04 cait eythian: ?
21:04 rangi eythian: only when confronted by a publishers unreasonable demands, that seems to be the natural response
21:04 eythian if you remove the borders from a librarian, there's nothing to keep them in a people-shape.
21:05 jcamins_away lol
21:05 cait i was referring to the TT stuff :)
21:05 oleonard wizzyrea: I'm not sure what you mean by eradicating YUI... I think the only way we can do it is to do it piece by piece so nothing is broken
21:05 wizzyrea I mean, page by page, swap out the YUI for bootstrap standard buttons
21:06 wizzyrea then, much like what happened with the toolbar, clean it up and style it like koha? maybe that's not practical
21:06 eythian cait: oh, so instead of putting the HTML in for a button, you could just refer to a T::T module that does it for you. That way all buttons share common code.
21:07 oleonard wizzyrea: Yeah, I don't have any specific plan to do custom styles on the buttons at this point, just trying to get things working in Bootstrap
21:07 eythian So when we want to move to jquery-ng buttons 5 years from now, there's only one place to worry about.
21:07 cait I am not sure how bootstrap buttons work and if we win a lot with it
21:07 cait we got includes for the toolbars now and the styling is central anyway
21:07 cjh eythian: awesome idea, that way we can easily rip out bootstrap and replace with something else
21:07 cait ah
21:07 cait i see
21:07 cjh bootstrap buttons are really just css classes and ids
21:07 eythian cait: sure, but every button still has to have its code written.
21:08 cait hm if it's doable
21:08 cait don't want to overcomplicate this if possible
21:08 oleonard wizzyrea: My next step is to revive some code I did a couple months ago on a Bootstrap toolbar. Needs some heavy rebasing
21:09 wizzyrea oleonard: we can do it however makes sense
21:09 wizzyrea we just want corey to feel helpful
21:09 jcamins_away And to make good use of his time.
21:10 oleonard wizzyrea: There are a lot of examples of toolbars which aren't used on a lot of pages which could be quickly "upgraded"
21:10 oleonard wizzyrea: When will Corey return?
21:10 wizzyrea then maybe a better plan would be to declare what toolbars we are going to do
21:11 wizzyrea he's working out when he can come to Catalyst - his school term just started
21:12 wizzyrea he has afternoon study period at 2pm our time on MOndays
21:12 cjh it sounded like he may still do some work at home, but no idea on times for that.
21:12 wizzyrea and he may come in for several hours during that
21:12 wizzyrea and if we can get him set up properly, he can do work at home too if he wants

21:18 libsysguy sorry, is that not what we were doing?
21:18 wizzyrea hehe
21:19 libsysguy I have a library that is running dom, and for some reason they can periodically search for barcodes
21:19 libsysguy I think there might be an issue with the fast indexer and dom
21:19 libsysguy when I do a full index it works fine
21:20 jcamins_away Fast indexer = rebuild_zebra -z?
21:20 libsysguy si
21:21 libsysguy maybe not
21:21 libsysguy it seems that to get the fast indexer to work with the barcode you must pass the -x option
21:22 jcamins_away You should never not be using the -x option.
21:22 cait libsysguy: which version are they using?
21:22 libsysguy 3.8.5
21:22 wizzyrea jcamins_away: is that documented?
21:22 jcamins_away wizzyrea: probably not.
21:23 jcamins_away Also, DOM indexing was known not to work properly prior to 3.8.7.
