14:30 kf hi oleonard :)

14:39 jcamins_away oleonard: incidentally, in case you were worrying about finding a javascript editor that supports arbitrary tags, it turns out you can do it with TinyMCE.
14:39 oleonard I was up all night!
14:45 jcamins_away Have I commented recently on the extreme user unfriendliness of the CSV export?
14:47 oleonard No, lay it on us jcamins_away
14:48 jcamins_away I am amazed every time I try to edit a CSV profile how unintuitive it is.
14:48 jcamins_away You're exporting a CSV...
14:48 jcamins_away so you use vertical pipes to separate entries?
14:48 jcamins_away Huh?
14:49 jcamins_away You have to fill in either ExportRemoveFields or ExportWithCsvProfile to export as ISO2709?
14:49 jcamins_away Huh?
14:49 jcamins_away If you want to create a CSV profile you have to look under tools?
14:49 jcamins_away Huh?
14:49 jcamins_away None of these things make the least bit of sense to me.
14:52 kf I guess the qeustion is how to make it better ;)
14:52 kf jcamins_away: I wnted to ask you to take a look at the dom patch from martin
14:52 drojf i guess the question is who to make it better :P
14:52 kf from the changed comments I think he reran the automatic creation and I am not sure now if that is good or bad
14:52 kf and the any index seems a bit weird to me,?
14:53 jcamins_away kf: separate the entries with commas, make the ISO2709 export show up regardless (or add another syspref), and move the CSV profile editor to Administration.
14:53 jcamins_away If he reran the creation script, that's bad.
14:53 kf jcamins_away: it's only a guess
14:53 kf but since you know how it works... or at least you know most of it
14:53 kf ....
14:54 kf you might be able to give him some quick hints while I would have to learn all abourt how it works first :)
14:54 jcamins_away Yeah...
14:54 jcamins_away That's going to have to wait.

15:49 oleonard Dear Recorded Books: What the hell is with your web site?! (warning, auto-playing audio) http://www.recordedbooks.com/i[…]n=rb.home&library
15:50 oleonard I was directed to look for their link to marketing materials, but couldn't find it because it was covered up by an old guy talking at me

15:53 nengard I was going to document this, I have the preferences, but don't see the content when i turn them on
15:53 nengard (i did when i tested it)
15:54 nengard is there maybe an updatedatabase problem there?

16:03 nengard might be interaction with other prefs?
16:03 jcamins Do you have any script errors?
16:04 nengard hmmm
16:04 nengard let me look
16:04 nengard no errors popping up - where/how would i check the logs?
16:04 nengard I was looking at harry potter
16:05 jcamins I don't think they have Harry Potter.
16:05 nengard hmm okay
16:05 nengard I'm going to search their site first
16:07 nengard I'm searching Jodi Picoult in my catalog and theirs and it's in both, but I see nothing in my opac
16:07 nengard hmmm
16:07 nengard I did when I tested it ? like i said
16:07 jcamins Hm.
16:07 jcamins It might be that they do not have that particular ISBN in their database, though they were supposed to have fixed it so that all related ISBNs were listed as well.
16:07 nengard hang on
16:07 nengard i might have turned it off :) hehe
16:08 jcamins Hehe.
16:08 jcamins That would get in the way of it showing up.
16:08 nengard okay it's on and not showing
16:08 nengard I was toggling back and forth to try things out
16:08 nengard my demo is a VM so I can't share a link, but can share a video after my webinar
16:08 nengard not that it will help
16:08 nengard I do have 2 tabs for holdings ?. if that matters
16:09 jcamins It works for me with the two tabs.
16:09 reiveune1 bye

16:10 jcamins If you could try downloading the record for Bossypants (ISBN 0316056863) from LC, we can check if it's a problem with the book or a problem with the script.
16:10 jcamins Bah. I missed the bug number in the update message.
16:11 nengard hmmm
16:11 nengard it is showing on bossypatns
16:11 nengard pants
16:11 nengard I'll use that for the manual, but you should know that it's not working on all books
16:12 nengard http://idreambooks.com/newbooks/search?q=picoult
16:12 nengard I have all of them in my catalog
16:12 nengard and none of them show the ratings
16:12 jcamins Yeah, there are definitely a lot of ISBNs missing from their database.
16:12 jcamins Also some serious encoding errors.
16:13 jcamins On their site, not when the data is displayed in Koha.
16:13 nengard I'll note that in the manual
16:21 oleonard I love "git stash pop." So handy.

17:18 khall is patron searching messed up in master?
17:19 oleonard Which patron search khall ?
17:19 khall when I try using the letters on members-home.pl I get one results for 'a' and none for anything else
17:20 khall even though my db has the default sample patrons

18:03 jcamins Okay, question for... anyone who might have an opinion.
18:05 jcamins If I want to load a file of MARC records into a list of MARC::Record objects and possibly sort it, do we think I should use MARC::File::* or MARC::Batch?
18:07 cait joined #koha

18:13 bag jcamins MARC::Field I'd guess first?
18:14 jcamins bag: The vote on #evergreen was for MARC::Batch, so I'll use that.
18:14 bag whoops I read that wrong
18:14 bag I read it as FIELD not FILE :P
18:14 jcamins Yeah, I'm loading some files.
18:15 bag right Batch sounds good to me too

18:37 jcamins I have a Perl question for the wisdom of #koha: I want to embed a fairly large string in a Perl script. I believe there is some way to do that which results in the string being at the end of the file.
18:37 jcamins Does anyone know what that way is?
18:41 slef like bash << EOF and then EOF at the end IIRC
18:41 slef you could also look into the qq quoting
18:41 jcamins slef: that requires the string to be in the middle of the file.
18:42 slef ah but << EOF means the string is in the middle
18:42 slef hmmm
18:42 slef should befiled near those two on the perl man pages though ;)
18:42 slef sorry gtg out... I'll ping back in a few hours (maybe 5)
18:42 jcamins So long.
18:42 slef please @later me if you find it
18:42 slef else I'll try to remember tolook
18:43 slef damn sure I've used it before

18:56 libsysguy anybody around that I can bribe to take a look at the nginx installer?
18:58 nengard joined #koha
19:06 Dyrcona @later tell slef TIMTOWTDI: You could use a heredoc for your string, i.e, <<EOF\n.......\nEOF\n, (I do this all the time), mutililine quoting with qq/....../, or a __DATA__ section. I typically use the last for example or default data when my program can read from a file.
19:06 huginn Dyrcona: The operation succeeded.
19:07 jcamins Dyrcona: ooh, how do you use an __DATA__ section?
19:07 jcamins I think that's what I want.
19:09 jcamins SelfLoader?
19:10 Dyrcona jcamins: At the bottom of your file, you put a line that contains __DATA__
19:10 Dyrcona jcamins: Below that you put your data.
19:11 jcamins This sounds about my level of difficulty. :D
19:12 Dyrcona jcamins: You can read the data in your program via the DATA filehandle: *DATA or <DATA>. If using strict, you might need <::DATA>.
19:13 Dyrcona for instance: while(<DATA>) { do something with $_ }
19:15 Dyrcona It's really handy for sample data to test your program.
19:16 jcamins On the other hand, it just caused my head to explode and didn't work, so I'll use a heredoc.
19:16 rambutan joined #koha
19:18 Dyrcona jcamins: __DATA__ is good as a sample file, and not so much for strings.
19:18 Dyrcona I'll see if I have a decent example hanging around that I can paste.
19:19 jcamins Dyrcona: that would be great, because the data I am including would arguably be better put in a different file, but I'd prefer not to.
19:19 khall joined #koha
19:20 jcamins First rule of debugging: if you're using a system that doesn't have strict variable name checking, CHECK YOUR SPELLING!
19:25 jcamins Hm. It looks like maybe the __DATA__ file is only usable for <DATA> not as a filehandle.
19:26 Dyrcona jcamins: A simple example http://pastebin.com/g7KGHF3n
19:27 Dyrcona jcamins: It also works like this $fh = *DATA; if ($ARGV[0]) {open($fh, $ARGV[0])}; while ($line = <$fh>) {....}
19:27 jcamins Ohh.
19:28 jcamins I understand now.
19:28 jcamins Thanks.
19:28 Dyrcona yw
19:28 jcamins Very cool!
19:31 jcamins Now I just have to figure out to add a binary to a CPAN dist.
19:31 jcamins Oh, and write POD.
20:00 Morthland joined #koha
20:00 Morthland Does the database record both the date AND time that a record is cataloged?
20:07 bag well there is the timestamp in mysql - so yes
20:09 Morthland Does the item search for the label creator use this? It seems like the items are listed by the exact time they are cataloged.
20:10 Morthland Just playing around in the .pl, I was hoping to add a "Catologed after this Date and Time" option
20:10 Morthland I program C, but I am a fish out of water here.
20:10 bag heh
20:11 bag well then I think you'd be more interested in looking at the acquistiondate in the item record
20:11 bag one sec…
20:11 bag here's the database - http://schema.koha-community.org/
20:12 oleonard khall still around?
20:12 khall yo
20:12 Morthland That's what I figured. Let me take a look at that.
20:12 rangi or the cataloguing action_log
20:12 oleonard khall: In your test plan you say "Optionally, you can also verify this works even if patron issuing history has been set to anonymize issues upon return." Do you mean at the patron level via the OPAC?
20:13 khall oleonard, can you give me the bug number?
20:13 oleonard Sorry :/

21:07 sweil English Wikipedia says Koha is GPLv3+. Should this be GPLv2+? (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koha_%28software%29)
21:08 jcamins No, the license is GPLv3+.
21:08 jcamins Version 3.12 will have all the license statements changed.
21:08 sweil There is a new article in the German Wikipedia. Maybe some experts want to review and improve it. See http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/K[…]othekssoftware%29.
21:09 jcamins @later tell cait You might want to take a look at http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/K[…]othekssoftware%29
21:09 huginn jcamins: The operation succeeded.
21:09 sweil jcamins: Then http://koha-community.org/about/ is misleading.
21:09 jcamins sweil: if it says GPLv2+, then it definitely needs updating.
21:10 jcamins @later tell wizzyrea Do you think you could please update the license listed on koha-community.org/about to reflect that Koha is GPLv3+?

22:53 rambutan jcamins, doing OK out there?
22:54 jcamins rambutan: yeah, the snow/ice was pretty dramatic a bit earlier, but so far not too bad.
22:54 rambutan supposed to be a historical snow/ice storm...
22:55 jcamins Yeah, but I admit I'm having some doubts about it being all that.
22:55 jcamins In 1996 we had so much snow in New Jersey that my friend and I excavated an igloo.
22:55 jcamins And I discovered that I was incredibly claustrophobic.
22:55 jcamins It made the igloo very disappointing.
22:56 rambutan :)
22:57 rambutan well, as long as you have plenty of red wine, potato chips and cat food it's the weekend...you can wait out the storm
