00:24 jcamins dcook: just to be different, I am _not_ talking about cooking fancy meals today.
00:24 dcook hehe
00:25 jcamins We're having leftovers, and I'm making lemon verbena chocolate oatmeal no-bake cookies.
00:25 dcook ...
00:25 * dcook 's stomach gurgles
00:26 jcamins Hehe.
00:26 jcamins My quest for entertainment in the cookie baking department is leading in some very interesting directions, I must say.
00:26 dcook I would certainly agree. Verbena?
00:26 jcamins Lemon verbena.
00:27 jcamins It's an herb.
00:27 jcamins Actually... I'm not sure if it's an herb.
00:27 jcamins It is a plant, anyway.
00:28 jcamins But you dry out the leaves and then steep them in hot water to make a delicious and soothing infusion.
00:28 jcamins I decided I wanted to do no-bake cookies.
00:29 jcamins But I also wanted to do something different.
00:29 dcook Different and no-bake are always good ideas
00:29 * dcook is thinking that maybe an early lunch is a good idea...
00:29 jcamins Which led exactly where you might expect.
00:29 jcamins First I thought about possible additions.
00:29 jcamins Coconut, nuts, etc.
00:29 jcamins But those have all been done.
00:29 jcamins And I'm fresh out of avocado.
00:30 jcamins Then I thought about alcoholic flavorings.
00:30 jcamins But other than peppermint schnapps, the only liquor I have on hand is tia maria, which is caffienated.
00:30 jcamins Caffeinated cookies at this time of night seemed like a bad idea.
00:31 jcamins So I started thinking about what would make cookies relaxing.
00:32 jcamins And from there lemon verbena was the obvious thing.
00:32 jcamins Naturally.
00:32 dcook Naturally
00:32 jcamins And I think I'll use rose water instead of vanilla.
00:32 dcook You do have a penchant for the unique, eh?
00:32 dcook But...vanilla!
00:32 * dcook might have a deep-seeded love of vanilla
00:33 jcamins Oh, vanilla is definitely delicious.
00:33 jcamins But the lemon verbena might need a bit more "flower" to back it up.
00:33 dcook Yeah, I was looking back and thinking that vanilla would be odd in this case
00:34 jcamins Maybe even odder than lemon verbena!
00:34 jcamins ... or maybe not.
00:36 dcook Ah right and you have chocolate..
00:36 dcook I'm digging the idea of lemon verbena chocolate oatmeal..
00:36 papa joined #koha
00:36 dcook I might also have a deep-seeded love of oatmeal...and chocolate
00:36 dcook Possibly just baked goods in general
00:37 dcook So I'm going to lay this on the table...
00:37 dcook What are the chances of us getting Jared cookies at Kohacon13?
00:38 jcamins Probably pretty good.
00:38 jcamins I tend to be accompanied by baked goods, as a general rule.
00:39 dcook :D
00:39 dcook While I certainly do enjoy hearing about the cookies, I can't wait to try some!
00:40 dcook ...
00:40 dcook I feel like that could be taken out of context...
00:40 dcook As could that...
00:43 dcook While I generally extremely dislike statistics, what the Australian Bureau of Statistics came up with is kind of cool: http://tinyurl.com/bv38omc
00:43 dcook 46% of Australians aged over 18 years visited a library in 2006
00:45 dcook While I doubt the accuracy of statistics, especially when they aren't explicit in their methodology, I'm willing to just ^_^ at that
00:45 dcook Of course, 96 would be better than 46, but...for having a public library system which leaves much to be desired, that might not be too bad..
00:51 jcamins Actually, 46% sounds really good to me.
00:52 dcook 10.12 million out of 22 million
00:52 dcook Reminds me that I really need to get a library card from my local library...
00:53 jcamins I hate the very end of the bucket of sugar/flour.
00:53 dcook No French books, but maybe I could pick up Italian..
00:53 dcook In terms of getting it out or the fact that there is none left?
00:53 jcamins You have all the little bits of bay leaves that broke.
00:55 dcook I have never heard of that practice before now.
01:00 jcamins It's because I buy my flour and sugar in bulk.
01:00 jcamins When I have 30lbs of flour, the possibility of moths is *really* appalling.
01:00 jcamins So I put bay leaves in the flour and sugar.
01:01 dcook Intriguing!
01:01 dcook Off the top of my head, the folks I know with bulk flour and sugar make do just using air-tight containers
01:01 dcook Mind you, they're very large containers
01:02 dcook Mind you, thanks to being winter 6-8 months of the year, I've never really encountered insect issues in Saskatchewan
01:02 dcook I say mind you too much...
01:03 jcamins Hehe.
01:31 NateC joined #koha
01:47 mtj hi all, has anyone else bumped into bug 9084
01:47 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=9084 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, NEW , Dates in notices should be formatted according to dateformat system preference
01:48 mtj …  and/or does anyone have a patch or workaround, for it?
01:49 dcook Mmm, sounds familiar
01:49 mtj i think people probably want those dates/timestamps pretty-formatted, as default?
01:51 mtj rather than 'awesome book is due at 2013-04-22 23:59:00'
01:51 dcook pretty and in accordance to their syspref
01:52 jcamins mtj: yeah, according to the region.
01:52 dcook I notice Australians don't like dealing with American dates
01:53 mtj hmmm, sounds like a patch that might get accepted...
01:55 dcook :D
01:55 * dcook nods
01:56 dcook I'd test it for sure
01:56 dcook A bit low on the list of ones to write myself though..
01:58 papa joined #koha
01:59 eythian hello papa
01:59 mtj dcook, ok cool, i might have a little poke at it now...
02:00 mtj heya eythian, papa

03:55 Irma joined #koha
04:12 cait joined #koha
04:37 dcook Does anyone know if there has been work to add Z39.50 search/import for authorities as well as biblios?
04:38 eythian not that I'm aware of
04:42 dcook That's what I was thinking. Thanks, eythian :)
04:51 kohaUser_SL joined #koha
04:52 kohaUser_SL hi
04:52 wizzyrea hiyas
04:52 kohaUser_SL i would like to know whether Koha can be installed in Windows environment
04:53 kohaUser_SL ?
04:53 wizzyrea natively? no.
04:54 wizzyrea inside some kind of virtual machine that runs on top of windows, yes.
04:55 kohaUser_SL ah is it..
04:55 kohaUser_SL that means i have to install a Linux in a virtual machine and install Koha on there right
04:55 kohaUser_SL ?
04:56 eythian Yes
04:56 kohaUser_SL what is the version of linux i have to use?
04:56 eythian Debian is recommended
04:57 kohaUser_SL hmm
04:57 kohaUser_SL when i search in the internet i found this link
04:57 kohaUser_SL http://www.koha.rwjr.com/
04:57 kohaUser_SL which says it has a Koha package for windows
04:58 eythian Koha 2.2 is very, very old and strongly not recommended.
04:58 kohaUser_SL hmm
04:58 kohaUser_SL ok :)
04:58 kohaUser_SL thanks a lot for the information
04:58 eythian no worries
04:59 kohaUser_SL I'm planinng to install this software in a Major public library in Sri Lanka
04:59 * cait waves
04:59 eythian ah, very cool. In that case, I'd strongly suggest a modern Koha version (3.10 or so) and a good Linux server.
05:00 eythian hi cait
05:00 eythian wahanui: cait
05:00 wahanui cait is qam, not your secretary
05:00 eythian wahanui: cait
05:00 wahanui go back to bed, cait.
05:00 cait lol
05:00 cait hi eythian :)
05:00 kohaUser_SL hmm what so u mean by a good linux server?
05:01 eythian one with good CPUs and enough RAM.
05:01 eythian The better your server, the faster Koha will run, in general.
05:01 kohaUser_SL what are the recomended hardware configuration for the server
05:01 kohaUser_SL ?
05:01 kohaUser_SL Ram and processor?
05:02 wizzyrea depends on how busy the library is
05:02 eythian it varies based on the library
05:02 kohaUser_SL hmm
05:03 eythian our small to medium sized libraries get away with ~4GB and 2 processors that are about 2.5-3GHz
05:03 eythian if you're busy, you might want to increase that
05:03 eythian but on the other hand, you might have a budget, in which case that'd probably do fine
05:07 kohaUser_SL hm
05:07 kohaUser_SL okay
05:08 kohaUser_SL is this chat 24x7 supported/
05:08 kohaUser_SL ?
05:09 eythian no
05:09 eythian this is just an IRC channel, if there are people here they'll talk, but they aren't always around.
05:10 kohaUser_SL hmm are you guys Koha developers
05:10 kohaUser_SL ?
05:10 eythian many of the people in this channel are, yes
05:10 kohaUser_SL which country are u from?
05:10 kohaUser_SL and this software?
05:11 eythian I'm in New Zealand. Koha is also originally from New Zealand, but now it's completely worldwide.
05:11 * cait waves from germany
05:12 kohaUser_SL :)
05:12 kohaUser_SL hello..
05:12 kohaUser_SL Im from Sri Lanka
05:14 eythian I would also recommend joining the Koha mailing lists to get information.
05:15 kohaUser_SL ok
05:15 eythian wahanui: mailing lists
05:15 wahanui mailing lists are at http://koha-community.org/supp[…]ha-mailing-lists/
05:16 kohaUser_SL whats the addres?
05:16 eythian see that link
05:16 kohaUser_SL sure
05:16 kohaUser_SL thanx

05:58 kohaUser_SL hi
05:58 kohaUser_SL a anyone here
05:58 kohaUser_SL ?
05:59 kohaUser_SL i have a small question
05:59 eythian ask?
05:59 wahanui Don't ask to ask, just ask.
05:59 eythian although, I'm going right now. Someone may be here
05:59 kohaUser_SL :)
06:00 kohaUser_SL mm i need to download Linux Debian and when I go to their site to download it has 8 DVDs
06:00 kohaUser_SL to download
06:00 kohaUser_SL do I have to download all of them?
06:01 kohaUser_SL or is there any pakage less file size
06:01 kohaUser_SL ?
06:01 kohaUser_SL altogether there will be around 50 GB
06:01 kohaUser_SL i need to download
06:06 dcook http://www.debian.org/CD/torrent-cd/
06:06 dcook The first CD/DVD disk contains all the files necessary to install a standard Debian system.
06:06 dcook To avoid needless downloads, please do not download other CD or DVD image files unless you know that you need packages on them.
06:07 dcook Their words - not mine. Forgot quotation marks ;)
06:08 kohaUser_SL ahh great..
06:08 kohaUser_SL :)
06:08 kohaUser_SL so Koha will work on this Standard Debian system is it?
06:10 dcook I doubt it
06:10 dcook But, if I'm not mistaken, the Debian packages provided by Koha should install any missing software
06:10 dcook I probably am mistaken now that I think about it...
06:11 dcook I think it detects and updates missing Perl dependencies but I'm not sure about other software
06:11 dcook That's where the Koha wiki docs come in handy though ;)
06:12 dcook I've installed Debian on a VM using the first CD/DVD from the Debian website, and installed Git from the Debian repositories, but that's about it so far
06:12 kohaUser_SL hmm
06:12 dcook Debian will definitely have Perl already installed
06:12 dcook Probably Apache as well
06:12 dcook Possibly Mysql, but I'm not sure
06:12 dcook Zebra might be missing?
06:12 dcook Git will be missing (if you want to do development)
06:13 dcook I suggest going one step at a time
06:13 dcook You'll find people here are most helpful when you have a specific problem that you've encountered and can't figure out on your own / from the documentation
06:18 kohaUser_SL hmm
06:18 kohaUser_SL oki
06:18 kohaUser_SL im not much familiar with linux..ill give a try and come again if i encouter any issues
06:18 kohaUser_SL thanks alot for the info\:)
06:20 kohaUser_SL I downloaded Koha Latest
06:20 kohaUser_SL VirtualBox
06:20 wahanui VirtualBox is good for that sort of thing
06:20 kohaUser_SL and the Debian iso is being downloaded now

07:40 zebil hi there
07:40 zebil is there anyone there to help me?
07:40 fredy joined #koha
07:41 zebil no one?
07:41 wahanui no one is saying a word, soooooo
07:42 zebil i think i should ask and if someone want to help...
07:42 zebil there is something wrong in serial subscription module
07:43 zebil in test prediction
07:43 zebil if you have a monthly serial subscription everything is ok
07:44 zebil but if you have other type subscription, etc. bimonthly or 1/3 quarterly, prediction system is working not correctly
07:45 zebil or i am doing something wrong...
07:48 magnuse zebil: which version of koha are you using?
07:50 zebil 3.10.04
07:50 sophie_m joined #koha
07:50 zebil also i tried that in other demo koha sites
07:51 magnuse there is an enhancement suggested in this area: bug 7688
07:51 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7688 enhancement, P3, ---, julian.maurice, Needs Signoff , Change subscriptions numbering pattern and frequencies
07:51 magnuse that might be because there are known problems with the way things work now
07:51 magnuse but i'm afraid i'm not very familiar with how the subscription module works...
07:56 zebil hmm
07:58 kf prediction patterns are not working right
07:58 kf if you have advanced patters
07:58 kf maybefor others too
07:58 kf I amhoping the dev above will fix it - but it's quite big and so didn't make it into 3.12
08:00 zebil so this is a known bug
08:01 kf I am not sure there is a specific bug report
08:01 kf it might be well worth filing a bug
08:02 gerundio joined #koha
08:09 zebil but i know that poblem was exist in all versions in koha
08:10 zebil why they don't fix it still!

08:44 sher_jillnai so i was saying that i want to configuring the SIP for koha
08:45 sher_jillnai and the koha which i am using is version 3.10.04.000 and the perl version is 5.014002
08:46 sher_jillnai as per the description i followed the steps for starting the SIP Server
08:47 drojf sher_jillnai:  what description have you been using?
08:48 sher_jillnai but after executing that command form lib directory i.e. root@ubuntu:/usr/share/koha/lib# perl -IC4/SIP/ -MILS C4/SIP/SIPServer.pm /etc/koha/SIPconfig.xml it give me some sort of errors like unable to locate Koha configuration file koha-conf.xml at C4/Context.pm line 360.
08:50 cjh you need to have KOHACONF set, KOHACONF=/etc/koha/sites/mysite/koha-conf.xml and then the rest of your command
08:50 cjh you need to have KOHACONF set, KOHACONF=/etc/koha/sites/mysite/koha-conf.xml perl  -IC4/SIP/ -MILS C4/SIP/SIPServer.pm /etc/koha/SIPconfig.xml

09:02 sher_jillnai cjh did u got my msg
09:02 sher_jillnai cjh i m totaly new here
09:02 sher_jillnai so please do not b fedup with me
09:03 sher_jillnai but from one week i m facing this problem
09:03 sher_jillnai now the last hope is you ppl
09:03 cjh I am not familiar with that output, but it looks like a warning only. Is SIP now running?
09:11 gaetan_B is there a MARC21 field where you can put which writing system the document is written in ? (latin, cyrillic, arabic, and so on)
09:11 kf hm probably
09:11 kf ther eis catalouging language somewhere I think
09:13 * gaetan_B is browsing furiously through the marc21 default framework
09:13 * gaetan_B is having this special feeling someone can't help having when thinking about marc too much
09:13 kf try the 0 tab
09:13 kf @marc 041

11:45 gaetan_B kf: for the kurdish translation, there is one thing i would like to do to make it easier for them but i need your confirmation
11:46 gaetan_B instead of starting from empty kurdish files
11:46 gaetan_B they would start with the content of the arabic files
11:46 gaetan_B so all the %s and code stuff has already been replaced
11:46 Irma joined #koha
11:47 gaetan_B also it will make them easier for them to translate the rest, especially when %s are mingled with text
11:47 gaetan_B the translator understand arabic as an added bonus
11:47 gaetan_B but would modifying the arabic files and just renaming them would work out ?
11:48 rangi yes

12:35 gaetan_B1 joined #koha
12:36 kf gaetan_B1 it should work I think - but I woudl try and mark all strings fuzzy in that case
12:36 kf so you can easily see how much is actually done already and what still has to be done
12:36 gaetan_B1 kf: this is a good idea, this would also allow the translator to see how much work he has done indeed
12:36 gaetan_B1 ah yes :)
12:36 kf :)
12:37 gaetan_B1 how do you mark all strings fuzzy  ?
12:37 kf because unlike en/en-NZ those are not so similar :)
12:37 kf maybe if you look in one of the po files in a text editor you will see
12:37 gaetan_B1 yes indeed (it will help a lot with the bidi problems though)
12:37 kf you need a line #fuzzy or similar I think
12:37 kf shoudl be possible to do with a text editor and some smart search and replace
12:37 gaetan_B1 kf: ok i thought there was  a way to do it in poedit
12:37 kf oh in poedit
12:37 kf hm
12:37 gaetan_B1 but i can do a substitution with vim
12:37 kf there might be in fact
12:38 kf not in pootle :)

13:18 druthb for talking about Koha a lot!

18:29 oleonard We would have to hide them in a menu, and I don't think that would be discoverable enough for the average patron
18:31 jcamins Hm.
18:32 jcamins I feel like there should be some way to rethink those links so they make more sense.
18:33 jcamins That bar isn't immediately clear to me the way the rest of the page is.
18:36 oleonard Which bar?
18:36 oleonard The links?
18:36 wahanui the links are only based on the $9.
18:36 tcohen mtompset: i'd remove "Debian packages on Ubuntu" and put "packages on Ubuntu". Don't understand why pointing packages where built for Debian at all
18:37 gaetan_B joined #koha
18:37 tcohen I mean, its correct, but also confusing for a non-tech user
18:37 jcamins oleonard: yeah.
18:38 mtompset Hmm... Because that's what was there.
18:38 jcamins Oh, I know.
18:39 jcamins I don't think it makes immediate sense to a patron now, either.
18:39 jcamins At least, it didn't make immediate sense to me the first time I sat down with a Koha OPAC.
18:40 jcamins Am I the only one?
18:41 oleonard Of course I've worked with it too long to really know, but I would consider it a detail that would be mostly overlooked until someone went looking for more...something.
18:41 cait hm where is the link? :)
18:41 oleonard More Bootstrap OPAC work: http://screencast.com/t/IHrchRQFx1r
18:41 cait oleonard: do we tell you often enough how awesome you are? :)
18:41 oleonard ..but the question applies to the current OPAC design also
18:43 mtompset @later tell wizzyrea That "Current Release" section on http://koha-community.org/download-koha/ needs more tweaking too. The debian link 3.4?! And it might be an idea to remove "the Debian" from the Ubuntu line description.
18:43 huginn mtompset: The operation succeeded.
18:43 cait so the library's logo would you always in opacheader now?
18:43 oleonard I don't know cait, it's just an idea
18:43 mtompset There, tcohen, I hope that improves that. :)
18:43 cait just trying to figure out how this would look like for a library :)
18:44 cait and I like how clean it is :)
18:44 oleonard cait: It would give more room for the search bar, which is nice. On the other hand with the cart and lists links up at the top there is already more room.
18:45 cait navigation is hard
18:45 cait couldn't we find some students or so doing a usability study for us? :)
18:46 cait I fear the cart and lists might get overlooked
18:46 cait I really like the search bar
18:46 cait but with the opacheader/log between cart/lists and the search it might be harder to spot than it is now
18:47 oleonard opacheader is optional. It only shows because I have something in the pref.
18:47 cait i know
18:47 oleonard CCSR eliminates the "Search" label on the search bar but I tend to think we should keep it.
18:47 oleonard ...but make it look nicer than in that screenshot
18:48 * cait nods
18:48 cait i like moving it out of the search bar - the buttons
18:48 cait because when you don't have much room they get pushed down easily right now
18:48 cait and don't look so good then
18:48 jcamins I usually move them into the bar that I don't like: demo.cplibraries.com
18:49 jcamins Otherwise Koha doesn't fit well on a 1024x768 monitor.
18:49 cait i was thinking about that
18:49 cait but they are not links
18:49 cait not really
18:49 oleonard jcamins: Nowadays that is referred to as a "small tablet" ;)
18:50 cait hehe
18:50 jcamins oleonard: or "public terminals."
18:50 jcamins Depending.
18:52 oleonard jcamins: Just making a comment about how responsive grids classify things these days: http://twitter.github.io/boots[…]g.html#responsive
18:52 * cait looks at other opacs
18:53 cait http://vufind.org/demo/Search/[…]ields&submit=Find
18:53 jcamins lol
18:53 jcamins Ouch.
18:53 cait i just noticed that I don't like the standard vufind so much
18:53 cait koha is prettier
18:54 jcamins Agreed.
18:54 jcamins I seem to recall feeling the same about Blacklight.
18:55 cait ok
18:55 cait we have lots of options
18:55 cait to fit in
18:56 oleonard Huh, I didn't realize vufind used "Book Bag"
18:56 cait h how does the newer evergreen pac look like?
18:56 oleonard I wonder if their customers' top request is to change that.
18:56 cait hehe
18:56 jcamins cait: Sitka has done some nice things.
18:57 oleonard Sitka?
18:57 jcamins Hm.
18:57 jcamins Maybe not Sitka.
18:57 jcamins It's a consortium.
18:59 jcamins jeff: do you have links handy to some of the more attractive TPAC sites?
19:00 oleonard I don't think Ohio's regional Evergreen system counts: http://www.cool-cat.org/eg/opac/home
19:01 cait that looks like the old one too: http://catalogue.bclibraries.c[…]100&d=2&f=&ol=100
19:01 jcamins cait: yeah, that's why I condlued it wasn't Sitka.
19:01 cait i think the problem is
19:01 cait our opac can do too many things :)
19:01 cait and we ahve to find a place for everythin!
19:02 cait and I think we can agree that we can't fit it into one toolbar?
19:02 jcamins Dyrcona: do you have links handy to some of the more attractive TPAC sites?
19:02 jcamins cait: agreed.
19:02 senator jcamins: jeff just doesn't want to boast: http://catalog.tadl.org
19:02 cait so we need some way to place 2
19:03 cait oleonard: could we move the card and lists down on the level of the breadcrumbs?
19:03 cait I think they don't get too long in opac?
19:04 Dyrcona jcamins: I think tadl.org is the prettiest. Ours is plain but uses something other than the stock colors: http://catalog.mvlc.org/eg/opac/home
19:04 oleonard cait: We could, but I'm not sure that makes sense there
19:04 oleonard cait: Do you suggest that because you think they need to be more visible? Or because You'd like to make room in the nav bar?
19:05 cait more visible
19:05 cait and break the elemnts closer together I think
19:05 cait bring
19:05 cait the navigational like elemens
19:06 cait I am still worried people put large pictures/banners in the opacheader section like they do now
19:06 oleonard True
19:07 oleonard The CCSR theme gets around that problem by not letting people use opacheader that way ;)
19:08 jcamins Dyrcona: senator: tadl is the one I was thinking of.
19:09 cait https://katalog.bibliothek.tu-chemnitz.de/
19:09 jcamins Not sure how I got Michigan and BC confused, but at least you know what I wanted.
19:10 Dyrcona jcamins: senator: jeff told me how they did the lists of sliding books with iframes and hand-managed lists on Saturday after the Evergreen Conference.
19:10 oleonard Luckily the placement of the Cart button or the "extra" links are things which can be fairly easily changed
19:11 tcohen joined #koha
19:11 cait oleonard: not sure that argument counts :)
19:11 cait you know people want to put their library logos somewhere :)
19:12 oleonard cait: I mean we really could do some testing,or at least surveying, before settling on a design
19:12 cait yep
19:12 cait makes sense :)
19:12 cait and it already looks lovely :)
19:12 senator that's a nice looking katalog
19:12 jcamins oleonard: true. And I wasn't saying it needed to be changed right away, just pointing out something that bothered me in case you had a solution.
19:12 senator Dyrcona: cool, we should get him to write that up for the list
19:12 cait it's a vufind project here in germany
19:12 cait they do catalogs for several universities
19:13 cait i think it's pretty cool :)
19:13 cait https://katalog.hmt-leipzig.de/
19:16 cait vufind is pretty big in Germany
19:16 oleonard At some point I'll have to make the Cart and Lists buttons actually work... :|
19:17 cait oleonard: if anyone can... it#s you :)
19:18 cait what if we had 2 navigation bars ontop of each other? and header on top top?
19:19 cait i should just leave that to oleonard :)
19:19 jcamins I like that design, as you know.
19:20 jcamins But oleonard is probably a better judge of whether it's a good idea.
19:20 oleonard I'm not sure I understand what you mean
19:20 jcamins Two rows of nav buttons underneath the header.
19:21 jeff jcamins: regarding "more attractive" TPAC sites, I'm partial to our own. http://catalog.tadl.org -- be sure to toggle to kids' opac for whimsy. :-)
19:21 jcamins Awww!
19:21 oleonard The header being opacheader jcamins?
19:22 jcamins oleonard: right.
19:22 jeff senator: oh, and having just boasted, i see senator answered already! :-)
19:22 jeff senator++ thanks!
19:23 oleonard jcamins: So you would put the advanced search, etc. links right under the navbar?
19:23 jcamins Now that cait has suggested it, yes.
19:23 oleonard One thing I like about having the advanced search link, etc. under the main search bar is that it reflects their importance: Search is more important.
19:24 jcamins Hmm.
19:24 jcamins I feel like the navbar has smaller text for that reason.
19:25 jcamins But feel free to ignore my ideas on user interface design in favor of actual knowledge about how users use interfaces. ;)

19:39 jatara @jeff: Wow! I like your site.
19:39 huginn jatara: I've exhausted my database of quotes
19:40 mtompset Greetings, bgkriegel. :)
19:42 mtompset Oh, this "search" "advanced search" talk reminds me.
19:42 mtompset The staff client menu bar at the top only says "search" for a link to the "Advanced Search".
19:43 jcamins Yes, "Advanced search" is redundant.
19:44 jcamins And unnecessarily verbose.
19:44 jcamins Librarians looking for "search" are looking for an advanced search rather than quick search.
19:45 mtompset So, the pretty graphics should drop the word "Advanced" to be more consistent?
19:45 jcamins It says "advanced search" somewhere on the staff client?
19:45 oleonard On the home page
19:46 jcamins Huh.
19:46 jatara On one of the buttons.
19:46 jcamins Do you know, I never noticed that.
19:46 mtompset Yep. Right on the home page.
19:46 jcamins I never look at the home page.
19:47 mtompset And when you click it, the "Home > Advanced Search" with an "Advanced Search" title.
19:47 tcohen jcamins, i'm about to fill a bug on translation encoding problems
19:47 jcamins I also never use the search screen.
19:48 tcohen has anyone noticed problems with non-latin chars on the staff login screen?
19:48 jcamins I use CCL, QP, or PQF, depending on my needs.
19:48 tcohen s/latin/ascii/
19:48 jcamins tcohen: mtompset reported seeing the same.
19:48 tcohen yes, I'll use his comment to support my bug report, thanks mtompset
19:49 bgkriegel Hi mtompset. Thanks for your email. I'll write to you.
19:49 mtompset You're welcome, tcohen. After all, it probably will affect me with people wanting other languages in the UI.

21:40 melia is there a way to add a new matching rule for patron import (in tools)?
21:45 rangi not that i know of melia
21:45 melia darn. thanks anyway!
21:56 cjh tcohen: after starting git bisect you need to make a revision as bad and good
21:56 cjh tcohen: good is the furthest you go back, bad is the furthest you go forward (if those directions make sense)
21:57 cjh tcohen: if you look at man git-bisect there is a good example under 'basic bisect commands'
21:57 bag ah rangi melia thinks she may have figured it out
21:57 tcohen i have a test script i plan tu run with git bissect run test.sh
21:58 tcohen (thx cjh)
21:58 cjh git bisect start; bit bisect bad HEAD; bit bisect good commitid; # should match what you wanted above
21:59 cjh git bisect start HEAD commitid #HEAD is bad, commitid is good.
21:59 cjh didnt know it had a short form, neat.
22:00 melia well, not really. edveal discovered that if in patron attributes, you check off the box to make it a unique identifier, then that patron attribute will appear in the dropdown menu for patron import matching rules. (don't know if it works or not, but there it is!)

22:21 cait I think patron attributes is the only way
22:21 cait we use it for student id
22:21 cait or staff id
22:21 melia I thought about making a patron attribute for borrowernumber and then importing the existing borrowernumber data, but it seems like that would need to be constantly updated and could easily get messed up
