02:13 jcamins thd: you're the only one who remembered the meeting, I think.
02:13 * dcook certainly didn't
02:13 thd jcammins: Do you mean that the meeting has not yet started?
02:13 davidnind Just waiting to see if anyone else is here.
02:13 jcamins thd: right.
02:13 davidnind Not yet
02:14 JDatTeTakere_ I've had terrible trouble getting into IRC
02:14 jcamins Someone could go ahead and chair it if they so desired.
02:14 davidnind Who would like to chair?
02:14 davidnind Agenda is at http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ng,_7_August_2013
02:14 jcamins I just passed through on my way to signing off.
02:15 thd I am here now and my friend's seven month old is sleeping soundly.

02:19 thd This is always a difficult meeting hour.  It is a good time for too much of the ocean and has not encouraged enough participation from parts of the land for which it ought to be good.
02:20 davidnind Should we start anyway?  If there are enough people here.... (A short meeting is always a good one!)
02:21 thd Someone who knows the meeting commands should start.
02:21 JDatTeTakere_ I don't know the commands sorry
02:21 davidnind I can give it a crack - have the list of commands up on my screen https://wiki.debian.org/MeetBot

03:01 JDatTeTakere_ Thanks for stepping up David
03:01 gmcharlt davidnind++
03:02 JDatTeTakere_ Are you going to the NZ User Group meeting?
03:02 davidnind A bit nerve wracking, especially when you lose connection!
03:02 thd davidrind: Even with your timeout we had an especially short meeting.
03:02 davidnind I intend to at this stage
03:03 davidnind It is probably because everyone is asleep...or busy
03:03 JDatTeTakere_ Not sure if I can but I'll find out. I am going to KohaCon13 and will only have been back a few weeks
03:04 * thd prepares for laundry and green goop removal.
03:06 davidnind Would like to go to KohaCon, but don't think I will be at this stage
03:06 JDatTeTakere_ It's a long way to go...I'm very lucky. Excited!!
03:07 davidnind The only announcement so far for the NZ user group meeting is on Twitter, with registration of interest to library at plantandfood.co.nz
03:07 davidnind Envious - will need to start saving now for the next one, wherever that may be...

12:37 drojf ah, the one with the crazy time

12:39 * magnuse thinks whoever comes up with an enh for displaying "new stuff" on the front page will earn a lot of gratitude...
12:40 drojf magnuse: public report + some javascript?
12:40 kf magnuse: i think wizzyrea was onto something using JSON
12:40 kf drojf: yep
12:41 drojf oh, that was a small and short meeting
12:42 drojf at least short in log
12:42 oleonard That time of day isn't terrible for me if I remember it. Not ideal, however.
12:44 magnuse drojf, kf: sounds good, but it should be just a syspref or two...
12:44 drojf magnuse: patches welcome :)

12:45 drojf somebody doesn't like oleonard
12:46 magnuse drojf: :-)
12:46 oleonard It must be nickserv, who lies when he says "You are successfully identified as oleonard"
12:46 drojf or huginn` is drunk and looks at the wrong guy
12:47 ebegin joined #koha
12:47 drojf magnuse: the problem i see is that you could come up with a lot of options for that, depending on the library
12:48 magnuse yup, so two sysprefs and lots of flexibility is ideal ;-)
12:49 drojf do we have sample reports for the public reports thingy?
12:49 drojf it could use one by default and say "come up with the report, the rest is done automatically"
12:49 drojf (if you want somethign else than standard)

12:50 Topic for #koha is now Welcome to #koha this channel is for discussion of the Koha project and software http://koha-community.org The next general meeting is 11 September 2013 at 18:00 UTC. Please use http://paste.koha-community.org for long pastes
12:51 mtj magnuse, CALYX have a new-books thing coming for opac…
12:51 * magnuse is all ears
12:53 magnuse yay
12:55 mtj ill submit it to BZ next week
12:56 drojf a real database manual would say "developing a database". a filemaker manual says "thinking like a developer". i think that is appropriate. no sane database developer would use filemaker. the ms paint of database land.
12:58 jcamins drojf: I don't think that's quite right.
12:58 jcamins The real MS Paint of database land was made by the makers of MS Paint.
12:59 oleonard The MacPaint of database land?
12:59 jcamins oleonard: that sounds about right.
12:59 tcohen why isn't the build_holds_queue.pl cronjob enabled by default on packages?
13:00 dani joined #koha
13:02 drojf jcamins oleonard LOL ok you are right
13:05 druthb kf!  drojf!  :D
13:05 mtj i just used this method to fix koha's 'rising' footer problem -> http://www.cssstickyfooter.com[…]-footer-code.html
13:06 oleonard What is the 'rising' footer problem?
13:06 drojf i thought it was a feature i don't like
13:06 drojf druthb!
13:06 jcamins What problem/feature?
13:07 mtj its where the footer often sits midway up the page, on opac-main.pl
13:07 mtj ...rather than sitting at the bottom
13:07 jcamins mtj: I think that's by design.
13:07 mtj :)
13:08 oleonard mtj can you show an example?
13:09 mtj for me, the footer is not at the bottom of the page -  but 75% down
13:10 mtj (thats not quite where i want my footer to be)
13:10 oleonard Yeah that's just the way it is.
13:10 oleonard So making it sticky is fine, it's just not something that should be working but isn't
13:10 mtj (bug or design-feature?)
13:11 mtj ok, sticky is fine
13:13 mtj heres a 'fixed' version of that footer, using that method
13:14 mtj (always at teh bottom)
13:15 oleonard mtj I wonder if that's what is triggering a horizontal scrollbar?
13:15 oleonard Do you get that too?
13:16 mtj yeah, i do actually (just noticed)
13:17 mtj ill see if i can fix that
13:18 mtj so, this is a bug that i am fixing here, folks
13:19 mtj or a feature.. by design ?
13:19 oleonard mtj: You are changing the default behavior of the footer to suit your needs
13:20 drojf oleonard: that has not been the default behaviour for me until recently
13:20 jcamins drojf: really? That's been the way Koha has always behaved for me.
13:20 drojf not for me
13:20 mtj its always been that way
13:21 drojf something changed for me, not long ago
13:21 jcamins I asked a year or two ago about changing it, and oleonard explained that the static footer was on the staff client and not the OPAC because the staff client is more like a "web application," and the OPAC more like a website.
13:21 jcamins Or something like that.
13:21 mtj lol
13:22 oleonard jcamins is correctly repeating the original rationale for that decision
13:22 mtj all i see is a footer sitting halfway up a page
13:23 jcamins mtj: if your footer is not colored, it actually makes sense... it's a short page, so all the content is near the top.
13:23 oleonard So it's good that you're trying to change it in your situation, and you're welcome to argue that it should be the default behavior
13:27 mtj yeah, i guess a syspref is needed for both behaviour
13:28 oleonard Or we could just decide to change it for everyone
13:28 oleonard It's the exact thing I was just working on in the new Bootstrap OPAC
13:28 oleonard ...and wondering whether it should be fixed or not.
13:29 drojf one thing i hate about fixed footers is messing up the browser's search function.
13:29 drojf i don't know if that is still a problem though
13:29 drojf and if it is to be considered a browser problem
13:30 oleonard I don't know about that one drojf. What's the problem?
13:30 mtj oleonard, my hunch is that more people want it 'fixed',  than not..
13:31 drojf when you use ctrl+f to search in the browser and the footer is on top of where your result would be
13:31 kf drojf: haven't read all but i agree about the footer -i think it leaset in staff it was different and now it does it there too
13:32 kf drojf: behaving unsticky... /me goes back to writing an article about koha she has not much inspiration for yet
13:32 kf hm actually... there is inspiration... just the words are not really flowing .)
13:32 drojf kf: yes i was wondering if what changed for me was in staff. i have no koah here to test. i only know it came, then went away again and came back. but that may just be me jumping around in git
13:34 druthb @wunder 77063
13:34 huginn` druthb: The current temperature in Briargrove Park, Houston, Texas is 28.2°C (8:34 AM CDT on August 07, 2013). Conditions: Clear. Humidity: 77%. Dew Point: 24.0°C. Pressure: 29.90 in 1012 hPa (Falling). Heat advisory in effect until 9 PM CDT this evening...
13:34 oleonard The footer in the staff client changed a little when we added Bootstrap. Could that be it? I tried to duplicate the behavior we had before, so if it's acting differently I would like to know how.
13:35 * druthb sighs.
13:35 drojf oleonard: i will try to remember having a look at home
13:35 mtj drojf, does this page have your cntl+f bug -> http://www.cssstickyfooter.com[…]-footer-code.html
13:37 drojf mtj: i don't see a footer there :)
13:37 kf oleonard: i thin it is acting differently
13:37 kf oleonard: i noticed on some of the popups especially... hm, that it was up
13:38 kf oleonard: closer to the top instead of sticking to the bottom
13:38 mtj drojf, its the grey bit - at the bottom of the page :)
13:45 drojf mtj: oh, i was expecting something more hover-y. i only see it when i scroll all the way down. that won't be a problem. or should i see it regardless of where i am on the page? then it may be me blocking some javascript
13:46 bigbrovar_ joined #koha
13:46 oleonard drojf: The point is that it sticks to the bottom of the page even if you don't have enough content to push it that far down
13:48 oleonard That page needs a demo so that it's clear what it does
13:48 drojf i fail to understand how i would check that with mtj's example that has way more content than my monitor is capable of showing :)
13:48 oleonard Exactly.
13:49 oleonard This page is a little better, depending on the size of your screen: http://www.cssstickyfooter.com/
13:49 mtj yeah, its a bad demo :)
13:50 mtj but you can resize/zoom you window, to show it works..
13:51 mtj ie: zoom-out
13:53 drojf ok i see what it does :) no, that is not a problem. it's only a problem if it hovers on top of everything, which i think the staff client does or did at some point
13:53 drojf have to reboot. lol windows lol
13:53 drojf ;)
13:56 oleonard The staff client language chooser indeed overlays the page content, though I see it takes up a little too much space below about 1000 pixels wide
13:57 drojf joined #koha
13:57 kf khall++ for the holds queue explanation
13:59 oleonard Actually it's the overlay-page-content behavior that was deemed too "application-like" in the original 3.0 OPAC, not a 'sticky' footer
14:00 oleonard Too bad Bootstrap doesn't offer the "sticky" behavior as an option out of the box.
14:01 mtj yes, and yes :)
14:01 mtj hopefully that method works with BS too ^^
14:01 oleonard http://twitter.github.io/boots[…]ticky-footer.html
14:02 mtj awesome
14:02 oleonard Oh it's in Bootstrap 3

15:21 jcamins drojf: in that case, I hope your audience is composed solely of jesters and morticians, who naturally would not expect to be amused..
15:21 jcamins :P
15:22 jcamins ("don't give up your day job" is a colloquial way to say "that thing you just did (telling a joke, singing a song, whatever) was not very good, so you won't make money as a comedian/singer/whatever)
15:22 jcamins *")
15:22 drojf oh. LOL. no. using filemaker is part of my job. that sentence is from a book about filemaker. and it sums up filemaker nicely :(
15:23 jcamins I figured, but "Filemaker pros" is also a pun, and I felt it needed some recognition.
15:23 drojf true :D
15:24 jcamins For example, someone pointing out was dreadful. :P
15:33 oleonard Okay, the language-chooser in the new Bootstrap OPAC will be sticky but not fixed.
15:36 oleonard The language chooser pop-up menu seems to work in IE7, IE9, and IE10, based on IE10's "browser mode" tool. (wtf, IE8?)

15:37 drojf oleonard: but IE8 is my favourite IE! :P
15:39 oleonard IE6 would have been my favorite if it hadn't overstayed its welcome by 8000 years.
15:39 drojf lol
15:40 drojf oh, i am on windows. let's see what an ie i really have
15:40 pianohacker joined #koha
15:40 drojf looks like someone who installed that thing made sure nobody will find IE anywhere
15:40 drojf ah, found it
15:41 oleonard What version of Windows are you using?
15:41 drojf OK, i have seen an IE10 now.
15:41 drojf windows 7
15:41 wahanui somebody said windows 7 was starting to tick me off
15:41 drojf it says it's updating automatically
15:42 drojf and it has just been started for the secons time ever
15:42 drojf the first time was when i downloaded firefox after installing windows
15:43 drojf oops, i accidentally just threw the IE link into the trash
15:43 drojf i would not want poor coworkers to stumble over that
15:43 oleonard oops, I accidentally just set the trash on fire
15:44 jcamins drojf: people say IE is a useless browser, but I've always disagreed. IE is the most useful browser on Windows: it enables you to get Chrome or Firefox.
15:44 drojf that is correct
15:44 drojf it has its special purpose
15:45 drojf and it is ok in that :D
15:45 oleonard There's really nothing like that feeling of firing up IE to download another browser.

18:53 madcrow hello kohaphiles
18:53 madcrow does anybody know how well a small koha instance would work on an amazon t1 micro instance
18:55 jcamins madcrow: if it's very low use, it'll be slow but usable.
18:56 jcamins Or, at least, that was true three years ago. I guess I haven't tried it since.
18:56 madcrow i'd predict no more than 5 or 6 users at a time
18:56 madcrow and that would be a peak usage level
18:56 jcamins Very low use = ~1 user.
18:56 madcrow usually it would be less]
18:57 madcrow i'm just trying to decide whether it makes more sense to build a small server or to go with amazon
18:57 pianohacker madcrow: What sort of things will you be doing? Circulation, catalog searching, etc.?
18:57 pianohacker Some parts of Koha are much more demanding than others :P
18:58 jcamins pianohacker: good point. OPAC is a lot heavier than circ.
18:58 madcrow catalog searching (and initial cataloging) for now and eventually circulation
18:58 mjk there. now i have my proper name
18:59 gmcharlt mjk: how large is the collection?
18:59 mjk between 10 and 15k volumes

20:09 druthb whoa.
20:10 cait @wunder Konstanz
20:10 pianohacker oleonard: formal build process sounds like an excellent idea. Now that we have a nice fast plack opac, bundling our CSS and JS would be nice

20:13 drojf those poor skittles…
20:13 druthb for some value of "fun."  If you like *living* in a sauna.
20:13 jcamins pianohacker: which Plack configuration are you using? I imagine Jessie has pretty much everything you might want packaged.
20:14 pianohacker damn straight I have everything you'd need packaged
20:15 pianohacker *wiggles eyebrows*
20:15 jcamins lol
20:15 pianohacker jcamins: But seriously, haven't tried that yet :) Is there something in the Plack config to bundle all of our CSS/JS into a single request?
20:16 pianohacker two requests, of course, but nonetheless
20:16 drojf omg, firefox 23 got rid of <blink>? best part of html ever. :(
20:18 jcamins pianohacker: I believe there is, but I was just wondering if you were using Starman, Plack, or...
20:18 jcamins And I don't use Plack for static content.
20:18 pianohacker gotcha

20:19 cait marquee tag?

20:23 druthb poor oleonard.
20:23 drojf *disable
20:23 * druthb gets out the wiffle bat again.
20:23 jcamins drojf: why would they do that?
20:23 drojf jcamins: i don't know. and i disapprove
20:24 jcamins I guess everyone just uses noscript.
20:24 drojf you can do it in about:config. why would i want to search the entrails of my browser for that? :(
20:24 drojf heh yeah i was just wondering if that is the reason
20:24 oleonard Because regular folks don't want to disable JavaScript but do want an inferior Firebug clone built in.
20:24 * drojf does not use noscript
20:25 jcamins I use noscript.
20:25 jcamins And requestpolicy.
20:25 druthb http://www.southparkstudios.co[…]ath-by-wiffle-bat
20:25 drojf oleonard: haha yeah that thing sucks. they tried to make us use it at the firefoxos appday. "but, hm, of course you can also use firebug if you like"
20:26 drojf jcamins: i use requestpolicy
20:26 drojf well, there is noscript in the tor browser.
20:26 drojf i don't really trust it
20:28 * oleonard hadn't heard of requestpolicy
20:28 jcamins Oh, yeah, I was wondering about that developer tool. Is it useful in some way that I have failed to recognize?
20:28 jcamins Because I find it absolutely worthless.
20:28 oleonard Every time I try to use it (usually because I clicked the wrong "inspect" menu item) I get frustrated that it doesn't do something Firebug does
20:29 jcamins oleonard: requestpolicy is great. The only way to get rid of Facebook.
20:29 jcamins And Twitter.
20:29 wahanui it has been said that twitter is quite invasive of culture. :)
20:29 jcamins And Google plus, too.
20:29 jcamins But Facebook is the worst.
20:29 jcamins "Hi, I see you did a Google search for 'why won't the bloody edges just link already?'. I will post that to Facebook."
20:30 drojf ok, then it is not just me ragrding the dev thing. i just don't understand how to do qanything i would like to do woth it. i gave up, guessing that it can't do things i want to do
20:30 drojf *regarding
20:30 drojf woah my typing is great
20:31 drojf oh, but ff23 has great new "social" things now
20:31 * oleonard dashes off
20:31 drojf it sounded like what jcamins just described ;)
20:32 jcamins Hey... is it just me or do we have an ff23 variable in one of our cataloging plugins?
20:33 jcamins Or something very similar.
20:33 jcamins Pretty sure we do.
20:33 pianohacker for normarc 008, yeah :)

20:35 * pianohacker would like this opportunity to mention ag, the silver searcher, and its ability to bring kittens and puppies down from the heavens when run on an SSD
20:37 jcamins pianohacker: intriguing.
20:37 pianohacker jcamins: Can search the entire Koha code base for f23 in under a second
20:38 jcamins Wow.
20:38 jcamins Not packaged for Ubuntu Precise.
