01:25 bgkriegel jcamins?
01:25 wahanui somebody said jcamins was too young to be the President of the United States.  Which is a pity, because he had the votes at the 3.12 election.
01:33 jcamins Yes?
01:33 bgkriegel jcamins: I'm sending a mail to koha devel. Karam found a strange solution to Bug 10176, which fixes the use of a more strange symbol in Bug 9183 (line 574 in Search.pm). There is an Arabic symbol in a perl substitute.
01:33 huginn` Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=10176 major, P5 - low, ---, karamqubsi, Needs Signoff , Invalid URLs in 'Refine Search Results' when it uses UNICODE symbols
01:33 huginn` Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=9183 normal, P5 - low, ---, jcamins, Pushed to Stable , C4::Search should only have one ZOOM event loop
01:34 rambutan joined #koha
01:35 jcamins What strange symbol?
01:36 bgkriegel lat between[]
01:36 bgkriegel last
01:36 bgkriegel s/[()!?¡¿؟]/ /g;
01:36 bgkriegel an invertes ?
01:36 bgkriegel inverted
01:36 jcamins Oh, I see.
01:36 bgkriegel or seems to be
01:37 tcohen http://snag.gy/TOSsw.jpg
01:37 tcohen heh
01:37 jcamins Actually, that's not from my patch.
01:37 jcamins I just moved it.
01:37 bgkriegel ah,ok
01:38 bgkriegel can be removed?
01:38 bgkriegel if not, then we must use utf8
01:39 bgkriegel tcohen: nice cat :)
01:39 jcamins I have no idea.
01:40 jcamins I have no idea what it was for.
01:40 tcohen a typo
01:40 bgkriegel a strange one
01:41 bgkriegel was my thinking
01:41 jcamins To me it looks wrong, but Lyon wrote a patch especially to add it.
01:41 bgkriegel they use arabic
01:42 tcohen why do u say its arabic?
01:42 tcohen I see ¿
01:42 bgkriegel I asked Karam, he said is for arabic one or is an arabic symbol
01:42 jcamins Actually, I understand Karam's patch now.
01:42 jcamins It is good.
01:43 bgkriegel Ok, so I sign (he wrote asking me)
01:43 tcohen if there's non-ASCII in the code use utf8 is a must
01:43 bgkriegel for me, it works
01:43 bgkriegel yeap
01:44 bgkriegel there are other two lines with UTF symbols, but on comments
01:45 bgkriegel diacritics
01:46 tcohen I think comments are not an issue
01:47 tcohen "As a compatibility measure, the use utf8 pragma must be explicitly included to enable recognition of UTF-8 in the Perl scripts themselves (in string or regular expression literals, or in identifier names)"
02:19 bgkriegel another: line 1487 in C4/AuthoritiesMarc.pm, a warning message in french, no use utf8
02:19 bgkriegel tcohen?
02:19 wahanui rumour has it tcohen is 120
02:19 bgkriegel :)
02:23 bgkriegel tcohen: an idea (and more work) for you. Add --lang to koha-create, so to offer and use translated interface on web installer (and use localized sql files).
02:26 bgkriegel another french warning (no use utf8), Serials.pm, line 2388
02:29 bgkriegel good bye

12:37 cait when he has to steal your buisciuts you probably don't feed him well enough!
12:37 cait :P
12:39 jcamins Hehe.
12:39 jcamins I'm sure he'd like me to think that.

13:36 bgkriegel hello
13:37 bgkriegel cait?
13:37 wahanui go back to bed, cait.
13:37 cait yes? :)
13:37 bgkriegel you did QA for 10174. The text of facets looks well for you?
13:38 bgkriegel I still see ي , �... (those ?? symbols)
13:38 bgkriegel the url is working, of course
13:44 tcohen joined #koha
13:48 bgkriegel hi tcohen
13:48 tcohen hi bgkriegel
13:48 tcohen got your message last night (--lang)
13:49 bgkriegel good, what do you think?
13:52 cait bgkriegel: that'd due to facet length
13:52 cait bgkriegel: it cuts the 'character' in half
13:53 cait there is a system preference for facet length, but it doesnot work correctly for composed characters... if that makes sense?
13:53 cait if the problems you see are always before the ... it's that
13:53 bgkriegel yes
13:53 tcohen_ joined #koha
13:55 cait :)
13:56 cait right now i am testing and documenting ways to hide records and items in opac... see the new bugs... *sigh*
13:57 bgkriegel work never ends. Put FacetLabelTruncationLength on 50 and all looks good
13:59 cait yeah work never ends... but also lots of good things happen all the time
13:59 cait helps making it easier to look at some ugly code :)
14:00 bgkriegel that's enthusiasm :)
14:00 bgkriegel cait++
14:01 cait :)
14:01 cait well, enthuasiasm is always needed :)
14:01 bgkriegel yes, we need lots
14:02 cait hm hope that's not frustration i hear there?
14:02 * cait hands out cookies
14:02 bgkriegel thanks :)
14:03 bgkriegel but no frustration at all
14:10 cait ah, cookies work prophylactical too :)
14:13 bgkriegel for that reason are always welcome :)

15:07 * tcohen wants cookies
15:10 * druthb too.
15:10 jcamins Does anyone know what "item is restricted" means?
15:11 jcamins And if you say "the item is restricted," you're going to lose karma.
15:11 cait hm
15:11 jcamins :P
15:11 cait i always thought abou treading rooms
15:11 cait can only be used in the reading room
15:11 cait or under supervision
15:11 cait i think it stems from 852 somehow
15:11 * druthb is tempted.
15:11 jcamins cait: oh, hm.
15:12 jcamins That makes sense.
15:12 jcamins Maybe.
15:12 druthb jcamins:  it might be in-building use only, or it might be for use with classified docs (or "no minors" or whatever)
15:13 cait hm was wrong about 852
15:13 jcamins I guess in-building use is orthogonal to not for loan.
15:14 cait i am not sure if it should block checkout
15:14 cait or only show a message
15:14 jcamins Well, with off-line circ there's really nothing that should block a checkout.
15:14 cait we have started showing the status only some time ago
15:16 tcohen jcamins, holds on the item?
15:17 jcamins tcohen: I don't think so.
15:17 jcamins It'd be nice if it alerted, but with offline circ you cannot have any assurance that a hold hasn't already been filled elsewhere.
15:19 jcamins Down to 847 lines.
15:26 cait :)
15:57 jcamins I need advice.
15:57 cait hm
15:57 jcamins What makes a good bookend?
15:57 cait ?
15:57 cait hm
15:57 cait it holds the books in place?
15:57 jcamins Yes.
15:58 jcamins Oh, no, I'm not asking what capabilities a good bookend should have.
15:58 cait you are confusing me
15:58 jcamins I need to know what to use for bookends!
15:58 jcamins I know exactly what they need to do. They need to keep books from falling over.
15:58 cait I have simple bookends made from metal
15:59 cait they are almost invisible and I like them for this
15:59 cait but that's not your question again I guess :)
15:59 jcamins Nope. Though I suppose I could buy bookends, if it came to that.
16:02 jcamins My problem is that most of the suggestions I find online assume that you want to keep your collection of mass market -- or, at best, trade -- paperbacks from falling over.
16:02 cait I also use books as book ends....
16:02 cait piles of books
16:02 jcamins That's what I'd do, except I don't have space.
16:03 jcamins I only have about... 50cm.
16:04 jcamins Maybe what I should do is take the expanding bookend thing that Shari's been using.
16:05 jcamins Bwahahaha!
16:05 * jcamins did so.
16:05 jcamins Actually, it's exactly the right size.
16:07 * cait shrugs
16:10 jcamins Done!
16:10 jcamins I just still need bricks.
16:10 jcamins I think I'll eat lunch then go out and buy some.
16:12 jcamins I have to figure out again how many I need.
16:26 jcamins 12.
16:26 jcamins 60lbs.
16:26 jcamins That's problematic.
16:28 cait for the desk?
16:30 jcamins Well, I'm not sure how the desk would take it, but also it would take several trips.

23:09 cait loading quite slowly
23:10 cait wow
23:10 eythian probably because you live in a remote country
23:10 cait heh
23:10 tcohen what happened eythian ?
23:10 eythian tcohen: a very large dose of rain overnight and earlier this morning
23:11 eythian surface flooding over many suburbs
23:11 tcohen across the whole country?
23:11 tcohen or just christchurch?
23:12 eythian Across a lot of the country. Wellington, Auckland, Chch and other parts too.
23:12 tcohen are u ok??
23:12 eythian yeah, it's not too serious.
23:13 eythian just makes for impressive pictures and grumpy drivers really. A few trees down in some parts.
23:17 rambutan joined #koha
23:23 tcohen eythian: i've been reading koha-create, a refactoring using bash its doable in a couple of days (including testing)
23:23 tcohen rewriting in Perl could take longer
23:26 eythian how do you propose to do it? (not that it's impossible to do an undo stack in bash, I just figured it'd be a lot easier in Perl)
23:29 tcohen I think what someone proposed about just calling koha-remove could do it
23:29 tcohen or we could just use a stack of completed steps
23:31 tcohen if we wrote it in perl, do we already have dependencies defined for stuff like creating unix users ?
23:31 tcohen or will we end up calling system() for those steps?
23:35 eythian I think we'd end up calling "system", or more likely, finding a module that does that sort of thing for us.

23:55 wizzyrea can you connect to it from your yaz client?
23:55 eythian wizzyrea: check, as we have some people set up on it, but I think it's often flakey.
23:55 eythian I haven't tried for a while.
23:55 wizzyrea yea, I was trying to find out if it was a firewall thing or a problem at the other end
23:56 wizzyrea I'm leaning towards problem on the other end
23:57 eythian if it's from your desktop, you're not really firewalled for that sort of thing
23:57 wizzyrea right - other end it is then
23:57 wizzyrea anyway i tweeted at them - maybe they'll fix it.
23:58 wizzyrea the web interface seems to be up
