00:13 oleonard wizzyrea around?
00:15 wizzyrea i am
00:15 wizzyrea hi
00:15 oleonard Hey, I was just checking the log for something and saw your comment about the Cart
00:15 oleonard That should be fixed in the latest version.
00:15 wizzyrea yea!
00:15 wizzyrea cool!
00:16 wizzyrea i will grab it later this afternoon (I'm going to be doing some testing on the mechanism by which it gets updated anyway)
00:16 oleonard I'm really getting excited about it. It's getting really close to being done, I think.
00:16 wizzyrea \o/
00:16 wizzyrea I was noticing that it is looking *really* flash
00:17 cait :)
00:18 oleonard Okay, that's all. See y'all in 12 hours!
00:19 wizzyrea later :)
00:19 * cait is irritated by noone sending her to bed :)
00:21 ibeardslee go to bed
00:21 jcamins cait?
00:21 wahanui cait: go to bed
00:23 cait hm
00:24 wizzyrea Hey, go to bed!
00:24 wizzyrea that's an order!
00:24 cait hm
00:24 wizzyrea don't make me get out my camomile tea
00:24 cait lol

00:43 mtompset joined #koha
00:44 mtompset Greetings, #koha. Oh shoot! I missed the meeting again.
00:44 drnoe left #koha
00:46 cait left #koha
01:21 mtompset If I was to work on a fix for the facets related to OpacHiddenItems, would it be better to patch it up in C4::Search (where the records are actually grabbed) or after the fact in opac-search.pl?
01:21 jcamins It depends how you intend to fix it.
01:23 mtompset The problem would be logic similar to the GetHiddenItems in C4::Items would be placed in pazGetRecords or getRecords in C4::Search if I went the C4::Search way.
01:24 mtompset Otherwise similar logic would be put in opac-search.pl (because results_hashref is fully built and just needs filtering)
01:24 mtompset At least that's what I'm thinking conceptually.
01:29 mtompset I'm just worried about having to rebase related to any search improvements, changes that are going on.
01:42 dcook joined #koha
01:42 dcook morning #koha
01:43 dcook gmcharlt: Any chance you're around to field a MARC::Record query?
01:45 dcook Ah, nevermind
01:45 dcook Found it :)
01:45 dcook Whew...
01:46 * dcook was wanting MARC::Field not MARC::Record
01:56 mtompset Which MARC::Field is items.itemnumber in results_refhash? ;)
01:57 jcamins 952. All the item subfields have to be on the same MARC field.
01:58 mtompset subfield?
01:59 jcamins @marc 952
01:59 wahanui The 952 field is used by Koha to store item data in MARC21 and is described at http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]_fields_%289xx%29
01:59 huginn` jcamins: unknown tag 952
01:59 jcamins ^^ that might help
02:01 mtompset thanks, jcamins.
02:01 mtompset jcamins++ # useful link knowledge.
02:03 mtompset Okay. 952$9 seems to be the MARC subfield I want to use, next question... do I have to check for UNIMARC and use 995$9 for the filtering code I am about to work on?
02:04 mtompset (it does say proposal, but I know how far out of date pages can get)
02:05 jcamins You should be using the Koha to MARC mappings not hardcoding subfields.
02:10 mtompset which table is that?
02:10 mtompset (or function)
02:11 bgkriegel_ joined #koha
02:13 mtompset marc_subfield_structure?
02:14 jcamins I don't recall. You could check the perldoc.
02:17 bgkriegel_ Ni,
02:19 bgkriegel_ Hi, kohag-qa is playing  trucos with me, checking a bug sometimes it finde errors, sometimes n
02:19 bgkriegel_ nnot
02:19 bgkriegel_ Any idea?
02:20 mtompset trucos?
02:21 mtompset bgkriegel_: perhaps your default perlcritic isn't the same depending on directory?
02:21 mtompset perlcriticRC.
02:22 bgkriegel joined #koha
02:22 mtompset Or is this a sometimes find, sometimes not find in the same directory, bgkriegel_?
02:22 mtompset bgkriegel: perhaps your default perlcriticrc isn't the same depending on directory?
02:22 bgkriegel yes, to consecutive runs
02:22 mtompset consecutive runs?!
02:22 bgkriegel and with and without -v, or -v 2
02:22 bgkriegel yeap
02:23 bgkriegel it's very strange
02:23 mtompset That is strange. Perhaps the code being tested is possessed by perl daemons. ;)
02:24 bgkriegel I've updated the repo, and perl modules, all I can
02:24 bgkriegel hehe, may be
02:35 mtompset Hmm... I'm using debian... why are my versions of test::www::mechanize and archive::extract not meeting recommended levels?!
02:43 wizzyrea needs wheezy versions maybe?
02:52 mtompset I am using wheezy.
02:52 mtompset would the wheezy versions be behind the squeeze versions?
02:56 mtompset C4::Biblio -- GetMarcFromKohaField :)
02:56 mtompset That's what I want. :)
03:12 mtompset Have a great day (24 hour period), #koha.

07:06 rangi nope, they just seem to be the 2 that everyone uses
07:07 magnuse ah
07:07 magnuse puppet seems to be more "open core" than chef, perhaps
07:11 rangi there is a bit of that too
07:20 kf joined #koha
07:41 magnuse oh rangi: http://schema.koha-community.org/ says "Generated by SchemaSpy on Fri Sep 28 09:20 NZST 2012" - does it need to be updated?
07:42 magnuse ...or re-generated
07:42 rangi yep, ill do that tomorrow
07:42 magnuse cool
07:53 kf rangi++
07:53 * magnuse saves his ++ for when it's done ;-)
07:54 magnuse wow, Viktor seems to be quite certain that multiple barcodes per item is common in swedish library systems

07:54 huginn` magnuse: Quote #123: "rangi: #thingsihavelearnt if there is a mad scheme a library somewhere will be doing it ... except madder" (added by wizzyrea at 09:20 PM, March 30, 2011)
07:54 rangi wtf
07:54 rangi why would you do that?
07:55 rangi i mean, what possible use is doing that
07:55 magnuse dunno
07:55 rangi how would you know which one to scan?
07:55 rangi sounds like a dumb idea koha shouldnt copy
07:55 magnuse apparently, if a book looses its physical barcode they stick on a new one and add the new one to the system without deleting the old one
07:55 rangi we have copied enough dumb ideas from other library systems already
07:56 magnuse my feeling exactly
07:57 rangi it probably is done that way, because the other library systems are broken and tie things to barcodes
07:57 magnuse or they bought books that came with barcodes on the inside of the cover, entered that into the system, found them impractical, added new barcodes on the outside and added that new barcode, without deleting the old one from the system
07:57 rangi not itemnumbers
07:57 rangi so you cant delete/change the barcode, without losing history
07:57 magnuse ooh, that actually makes sens
07:57 magnuse e
07:57 rangi then people confuse a stupid mistake, with a feature
07:58 magnuse hehe
07:58 kf i wonder
07:59 kf maybe they misused the barcode number as inventory/accession number
07:59 kf rangi++
07:59 rangi exactly
07:59 rangi ive seen that a lot in migrations
07:59 kf @quote add rangi: then people confuse a stupid mistake, with a feature
07:59 huginn` kf: Error: You must be registered to use this command. If you are already registered, you must either identify (using the identify command) or add a hostmask matching your current hostmask (using the "hostmask add" command).
07:59 kf meh.
07:59 * kf too
07:59 kf just recently, it was weird
07:59 kf i kept looking for real PK in the data
08:00 magnuse i'll be looking at circ data from their old system real soon now, so then i'll learn the hard way how it works

13:36 elemark I've tried to connect to the server for the first time, it redirected to /cgi-bin/koha/maintenance.pl

14:05 elemark i connected to the staff environment, but perhaps i'm redirecting to the opac part
14:05 oleonard elemark: Maybe check your Apache config? That's what I would do in a non-package installation. I don't know how the packages do it.
14:07 jcamins elemark: most likely you need to adjust your Apache configuration to use the DNS that you set up.
14:08 BigRig_ joined #koha
14:08 Viktor Multiple barcodes - it interests me how compact a "No" I tend to get on the issue. Can I kindly just have a quick question on the subject?
14:08 drojf unimarc is used in… france, italy, portugal, right?
14:09 kf Viktor: magnuse already mentioned it- I really think it's not a good idea in an ILS actually
14:09 kf you could save old barcodes somewhere else, but there shoud only be one valid for an item at a time (in my mind)
14:09 jcamins Viktor: multiple barcodes for a single item?
14:10 jcamins Bad idea.
14:10 elemark thanks a lot
14:10 elemark i'm trying
14:11 Viktor kf I know :) It's just the "why?" part I'm still interested in. But using the patch that searches for other data should be fine.
14:11 jcamins The problem with having more than one barcode for a single item is, two barcodes next to each other on an item makes no sense in an ILS, and if they're not next to each other, one of the barcodes is unreliable.
14:11 jcamins Viktor: what is it you're trying to accomplish?
14:12 Viktor Yep jcamins . We need it since almost all books have two barcodes. One that came with the book (often on the inside) and one on the outside.
14:12 kf iwonder
14:12 jcamins I have a suggestion: teach your librarians which barcode to use.
14:12 kf are there never duplicates with the numbers on the inside?
14:12 kf and what are they used for?
14:12 Viktor Problem is I have no way of knowing from that data which barcode is on the outside and which one is on the inside. So I can't just import the outside ones..
14:13 kf hm eek.
14:13 jcamins Viktor: ... ouch. That's... crazy. Why do you have two barcodes?
14:13 kf Viktor: I think we really have a hard time imagining what that is supposed to be good for :)
14:14 jcamins I have seen barcodes on the outside for off-site storage, but in that case your inventory system needs a mapping.
14:14 kf here when a book arrives, the library puts a barcode on them... or the vendor does, but then doing it as specified by the library
14:14 kf doubled up seems kinda odd
14:15 Viktor The original barcode is used to tie the items to the right record when they arrive. But as it's often on the inside they stick one on the back for borrowing.
14:16 Viktor I must confess that I don't fully get how this happened. But it's not uncommon (here) in my experience .
14:17 Viktor But I don't either get why multiple barcodes would be a problem as long as they are no duplicates. Even if one barcode to rule them all seems the natural order...
14:17 kf Viktor: hm I see - so it's more like an ordernumber from the idea?
14:18 kf Viktor: I can't think of an ILS i have seen that before
14:18 oleonard Viktor: The primary problem is that yous is such an edge case that it doesn't make sense to modify Koha to cover it
14:18 kf here it would be more likely that they try to stick the same number to multiple items...
14:18 Viktor kf That is the impression I get. They have even successfully branded it "The intelligent barcode" as it's used to tie the book to the right record :)
14:19 elemark left #koha
14:19 kf Viktor: maybe more of a acq feature then - nothing to say about that. but i think libraries here wouldn't use that for circ, the would use their own branded labels
14:19 kf also lots of systems do check if a number belongs into the system or do some prefix/subfix magic on the barcodes, so that would prevent them from doing something like that
14:20 kf i might also imagine it makes a small difference in speed if yo have to check for a unique number or multiple
14:20 Viktor oleonard I shure looks like it since I'm the weird kid when I bring it up in a global community :)
14:20 * kf hands Viktor her hat
14:20 kf Viktor: wait until i bring up how fines work in Germany the next time ;)
14:21 Viktor kf That will be interesting :)
14:21 * Viktor puts on the hat
14:21 Viktor kf Speed is an issue.
14:23 drnoe joined #koha
14:23 Viktor Am I correct to assume that bug 7494 will make the whole discussion redundant as it will allow us to stick the extra barcodes somewhere and use them with Koha otherwise unchanged?
14:23 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7494 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, mjr, Pushed to Master , Use partial barcode or callnumber as a fallback for the barcode search in checkout
14:23 kf Viktor: i think its only for partial barcode and callnumber
14:24 kf and i think it's a pref
14:25 Viktor kf I just though that the last comment seemed promising "When issuing a book, some libraries want to issue by title or other details.
14:25 Viktor This patch adds a systempreference and code that allows it."
14:25 Viktor Specifically "other details" :)
14:26 kf yeah,b ut it's an on/off switch right now
14:26 kf hm
14:26 kf but maybe it just does a keyword search
14:26 kf so another indexed field might work
14:27 gmcharlt kf: yes, it does a keyword search
14:27 gmcharlt the bug description kinda hides the patch's light under a basket
14:27 kf :)
14:27 kf just found it:  my $query = "kw=" . $barcode; :)
14:28 Viktor Yay! :)
14:28 Viktor This looks very promising! Mad double barcode scheme seems to make it :)
14:29 Viktor I'll look further into it with the help of Magnus.
14:29 Viktor Thanks everybody for your help on the issue!

15:26 digitalmess joined #koha
15:27 digitalmess Good morning everyone, I was just wondering if I could get a little assistance on trying to create a barcode record matching rule?
15:28 Viktor joined #koha
15:32 oleonard digitalmess: You can try asking your question. If someone can answer they might
15:33 oleonard Do fines get recorded in accountlines with a specific code? F for fines?
15:34 digitalmess yes
15:36 kf oleonard: what are you looking for? can be F or FU
15:37 digitalmess Fines = F, Account Management Fee = A, New card = N, Sundry = M, Lost Item = L
15:37 oleonard I'm looking at Bug 10007 and wondering how I can fake a fine for one of my checkouts for testing purposes
15:37 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=10007 normal, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, NEW , Totals in checkouts table
15:37 * tcohen thinks hardcoded values s*ck
15:38 pianohacker joined #koha
15:38 oleonard That bug is caused by Koha querying for a total of *all* charges owed by the patron rather than just those which are fines on existing checkouts
15:38 kf oleonard: oh!
15:38 oleonard i.e. charges for lost books, etc.
15:39 kf so the question is... what do we want here
15:39 kf ?
15:39 kf what about looking for fines related to the itemnumber?
15:41 oleonard Simpler I guess to just add up the charges as the loop is built for the template
15:42 oleonard ...just like we do for the total replacement cost
15:46 digitalmess Does anyone know if anyone is looking at reversing Bug 7973 until the problem is fixed to allow AD LDAP to work?
15:46 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7973 new feature, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, REOPENED , Allow for new type of LDAP authentication
15:52 oleonard Oh, duh, it's not fines, it's rental charges.
15:54 khall joined #koha
15:55 digitalmess Yes and no... that screenshot shows that there is 0.00 in rental charges for the item, so that $434.00 total is figured from fines in the accountlines table... at list that is what I figured our when I scratched my head over our new system.
15:56 digitalmess err *at least...*
15:57 bgkriegel joined #koha
15:58 digitalmess sorry, 0.00 shows when books/items has a replacement charge or not. Not sure what price column is supposed to show.. maybe rental charge or original purchase price?
15:58 oleonard To add to the confusion, the rental charges shown in that column of the checkout table are calculated based on the current policy, not the fee incurred at the time of checkout
15:59 oleonard so if you add a rental charge later, all items matching that rule will display the new charge, even if that charge isn't on your account
16:02 melia joined #koha
16:02 kf oleonard: doesn't seem to make much sense - what about only showing unpaid rentals?
16:02 oleonard I'm thinking we should probably just remove the "charge" column from that screen altogether.
16:03 oleonard Why not use the fines screen for that?
16:03 phasefx joined #koha
16:03 kf oleonard: hm - not sure if that will not make some libraries unhappy - i think hlt does rental fines
16:03 oleonard We show the total of fees and charges on the circ screen anyway
16:03 kf oleonard: i think it woudl make sense to see the total on checking out directly
16:03 kf so when a patron asks: how much is it now? you can tell them
16:04 oleonard But is there any reason to separate their rental charge total from their total of all charges?
16:04 kf i think i would only show rentals there... and not mix
16:04 oleonard Why?
16:04 kf it hink library policies
16:05 kf like you have to pay the rentals off first
16:05 kf before you can walk off with the items
16:05 kf but...  not sure really
16:17 kf left #koha
16:17 chris_n joined #koha
16:27 oleonard So, looking at Bug 8287 again... It turns out the "overdue" report doubles as an "all checkouts" report if you check the "Show any items currently checked out" checkbox.
16:27 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8287 minor, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, NEW , remove filter on checked out from overdues
16:28 oleonard That's either a nice feature buried inside a misnamed report, or a dumb feature to have on a report which is there for a specific purpose.

17:49 mmm45 hello
17:51 mmm45 Our Opac in System Preferences we have custom code for opacheader, OPACUserCSS, and opacuserjs
17:51 mmm45 when switching from prog to ccsr, of course the custom code is not looking very good
17:51 mmm45 my question is related to opacheader
17:52 mmm45 i do not know how to get ride of it when on a phone device
17:52 tcohen joined #koha
17:52 cait mmm45: hm sorry, i haven't looked at how that is done :(
17:52 cait is there a separate mobile css maybe?
17:52 mmm45 we need it as it is when we go to the browser on a computer but not have it when going to the mobile
17:53 mmm45 there is the mobile.css that comes with ccsr
17:53 maximep iirc you could put custom mobile css in OPACMobileUserCSS
17:53 maximep the syspref
17:53 wahanui the syspref is like, "asking a question" - can the user editcatalogue (major permission group) Edit the Catalogue (minor permission)
17:54 cait mmm45: if you give the header content an id, you can set it to display:none in the mobile css i think
17:54 cait or maybe :)
17:54 cait not sure when the mobile.css will kick in exactly
17:55 maximep when below a certain screen size
17:55 cait thx :)
17:55 mmm45 i have done some coding in the OpacMobileUserCSS and tried to hide that display
17:55 mmm45 but it did not work
17:56 mmm45 i guess i really do not know what i am doing
17:56 cait do you have experience in css?
17:56 mmm45 :-( Not really
17:56 cait hm ok
17:56 mmm45 to be very honest
17:56 cait could you paste your header and opacmobilecss code?
17:56 cait paste?
17:56 wahanui paste is found at http://paste.koha-community.org
17:57 * drojf thinks druthb made up the anti-troll skittles
17:57 ebegin mmm45, you can add the .mobile-hidden class to your div (in your opacheader)
17:57 mmm45 i will sure paste what i have
17:58 ebegin surround your html in the opacheader with <div class='mobile-hidden'> <YOUR_HTML_CODE_HERE></div>
17:58 cait what ebegin says makes sense :)
17:58 pastebot "mmm45" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "opacheader code" (101 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/164
17:59 maximep yes, ebegin++
17:59 jcamins oleonard: I've gotten the "In transit from since to" (or something like that) message for ages.
17:59 cait maximep++ too
17:59 jcamins At least since 3.8.
17:59 cait that would explain why it's new to us
17:59 jcamins cait: yeah, I don't think I ever saw it on 3.6.
17:59 * ebegin will be back later
18:00 cait mmm45: did you try ebegin's suggestion?
18:00 mmm45 i am about to
18:00 cait :)
18:00 cait it should work probably if you change your first line to:
18:01 cait <div id="menu_cont" class="mobile-hidden"><ul id="menu">
18:01 mmm45 so add this line to the very top of the opacheader, right?
