00:01 wizzyrea well she introduced herself as camille ^.^
00:03 jcamins Yep, that's her.
00:33 wizzyrea what is with the offing!
00:34 tcohen joined #koha
00:35 wizzyrea I woulnd't look weird if you all weren't obsessed with off.
00:35 wizzyrea why shouldn't the discussion be in the log?
00:35 wizzyrea that kind of ruins the idea of transparency.
00:38 jcamins Yeah, but it also protects Koha from being associated with some rather extreme (and unpopular) attitudes.
00:39 wizzyrea mmm the truth is hard sometimes.
00:40 jcamins It is. But I don't have the right to put it in your mouth.
00:41 wizzyrea well I wasn't specifically referring to the stuff YOU were talking about
00:41 wizzyrea more drojf :P
00:41 wizzyrea and the email question
00:41 dcook :O
00:41 dcook drojf: You've been outed!
00:41 dcook outted?
00:42 dcook outed
00:42 dcook That almost looks like it can't be a real word...
00:42 * dcook is going to remember it for the next time he plays Scrabble though
00:42 wizzyrea I get wanting to not log your unpopular opinions.
00:43 wizzyrea but asking a question about voting probably deserves to be logged.
00:43 wizzyrea because offing looks like you're trying to hide something.
00:44 wizzyrea clearly mine is the unpopular opinion. So I'll just leave you to your offing.
00:45 dcook Actually, I agree with you, wizzyrea
00:45 dcook About it being a question deserving of logging
00:45 dcook Not that your opinion is unpopular :p
00:45 drojf i understand what you're saying and i think you are right. anyway it is almost 3am and it did not help me at all with the actual question so i'll rather go to bed
00:46 dcook Personally, as for the answer to the question, no idea
00:46 wizzyrea yea, idk
00:46 dcook If people want to "cheat", they're going to do it one way or another?
00:46 wizzyrea about the question anyway
00:46 wizzyrea 3am is way too late
00:46 wizzyrea go to bed :)
00:46 drojf full moon :/
00:47 wizzyrea oh man, yea. good luck.
00:47 wizzyrea i haven't slept well in 3 days now, presumably because of the full moon.
00:47 drojf i was up until 5 or 6 last night
00:47 wizzyrea ^ there is actually some research that shows even if you don't know the moon is full, sleep is disrupted
00:48 wizzyrea or if you can't see the moon.
00:49 drojf i think i saw it for 10 seconds two nights ago. don't know if that is the reason but i guess it would have worked without that like it did not :D
00:49 dcook My wife bought me an $80 pillow. I've been sleeping like a baby.
00:49 dcook Or a baby that sleeps well...which I did...as a baby...
00:49 eythian wahanui: kiwi is http://www.thecivilian.co.nz/p[…]-out-on-anything/
00:49 wahanui ...but kiwi is the bird it takes it name from...
00:49 eythian wahanui: kiwi is also http://www.thecivilian.co.nz/p[…]-out-on-anything/
00:49 wahanui okay, eythian.
00:49 * dcook didn't know that people thought the full moon disrupted sleep?
00:50 dcook Which is perhaps why it's never disrupted my sleep?
00:50 wizzyrea I have been noticing this my whole life.
00:50 wizzyrea before I even knew it was a thing
00:50 wizzyrea I just thought I didn't sleep well sometimes for no good reason.
00:50 wizzyrea but if I keep track, it happens that I sleep not well more often when there is a full moon.
00:51 edveal joined #koha
00:51 dcook Hmm
00:51 wizzyrea it sounds crazy!
00:51 dcook It does sound crazy
00:51 wizzyrea it sounds like pseudoscience!
00:51 dcook Next time I don't sleep well, I'll try to remember to log it
00:51 dcook It's usually back pain
00:51 dcook Or I'm too hot
00:51 wizzyrea there are lots of reasons to not sleep well.
00:52 dcook Possibly emotional stuff but I don't have that many emotions so not that :p
00:52 wizzyrea kek
00:52 * dcook used to have the occasional nightmare during undergrad about not having good enough essays
00:52 drojf i have a long history of bad sleep and if i know it is full moon i blame that. else i blame other things. :D
00:52 dcook hehe
00:53 drojf but i'll give it a try. good night #koha :)
01:30 mtompset okay... I'm still confused... http://paste.koha-community.org/222 -- My debian VM fails, but my ubuntu VM works?
01:31 mtompset Okay... I must have broken something in C4::Circulation somehow?!
01:39 mtompset ARG!
01:39 mtompset The setenv mess.
01:41 dcook That'll get ya
01:42 rambuton left #koha
02:08 mtompset YAY! My patch found a bug in a test.
02:08 mtompset my ($usernum, $userid, $usercnum, $userfirstname, $usersurname, $userbranch, $branchname, $userflags, $emailaddress, $branchprinter, $persona)= @_;
02:09 mtompset C4::Context->set_userenv(1,'kmkale' , 1, 'kk1' , 'IMS', 0, 'kmkale@anantcorp.com');
02:09 mtompset without the shift, IMS is the branchcode.
02:09 mtompset with the shift, 0 is the branchcode.
02:10 mtompset the parameters in the call don't match the parameters in the parameters in the function.
02:11 dcook True that
02:11 dcook Those parameters could be worded a bit nicer too..
02:12 eythian that's a terrible way of returning a set of values
02:12 mtompset It's C4::Context, what do you expect? :)
02:12 eythian oh, not returning
02:13 eythian providing.
02:13 eythian Still terrible :)
02:13 eythian yeah
02:13 eythian I'd replace it with a hash (though really it should probably be an object or something.)
02:14 dcook Mmm, a hash would be nicer
02:15 mtompset I was just thinking that.
02:15 eythian as a basic guide, I tend to think that if there are more than 3 arguments, you should probably do it some other way.
02:15 eythian situationally dependent, of course.
02:15 dcook Sounds like a good guide
02:15 jcamins hashref, please.
02:15 mtompset because too many parameters makes for harder debugging.
02:16 dcook Yes, totes hashref
02:16 jcamins That's what eythian means by replacing it with a hash, actually.
02:16 eythian hashref is more traditional, yeah.
02:16 mtompset We know... ref is another 3 characters. :P
02:16 dcook I was wondering about hashrefs the other day..
02:16 eythian well, you can use either, but hashref is more standard.
02:17 dcook So you can have a hash than create a hashref from it
02:17 dcook But you can also define a hashref from the start without having an original hash
02:17 eythian dcook: sure can
02:17 dcook Why is that?
02:17 eythian $hashref = { a => 'b', c => 'd' };
02:17 dcook Yeah. That.
02:18 eythian %hash = ( a => 'b', c => 'd' );
02:18 rangi you are making a hash, and a ref to it in one go
02:18 dcook But if it's a reference...does that mean that it makes a hash at the same time as it makes the reference?
02:18 dcook Mmm, k
02:18 rangi both of them make a hash
02:18 eythian oh, I though you were asking a question there
02:18 dcook I figured that had to be the case
02:18 rangi %$hashref
02:18 rangi gets you the hash
02:18 rangi my %hash = %$hashref;
02:18 dcook Yeah, dereferencing hashrefs was...interesting
02:18 dcook When I was first figuring it out
02:18 eythian same as dereferencing anything else
02:18 dcook @$arrayref
02:18 huginn` dcook: I suck
02:19 eythian which isn't always not non-unconfusing.
02:19 dcook lol
02:19 cjh heh
02:19 dcook eythian: I had only ever coded in PHP before Koha. If there are references in PHP, I've never seen 'em :S
02:19 dcook Actually, now when I write in PHP, I miss Perl...
02:19 eythian ah yeah, php hides things like I think.
02:20 wizzyrea which isn't always not non-unconfusing - I had to read this sentence 3 times.
02:20 dcook hehe
02:21 dcook Actually, that totally explains my first encounter with references
02:55 mtompset question: if I have a biblio number of 28, and a biblioitems record matching with biblioitemnumber=28, should I not have an items record with biblionumber=28 or biblioitemnumber=28?
02:56 jcamins mtompset: sure, if your bib has items.
02:56 dcook ^^
02:57 mtompset and if you delete an item, the items record would basically move to the deleteditems table?
02:58 eythian yeah
02:59 mtompset without touching biblioitems?
03:04 mtompset Is there a way to batch delete biblios with no items?
03:05 eythian not in the UI, but you can make a report that'll find them.
03:05 eythian well, you can delete them using the output of that report.
03:18 dcook Delete them manually?
03:18 dcook mtompset: I think we have a PHP script that clears out bib records with no items
03:18 mtompset Anyways... next question. :)
03:19 dcook Although I think it's a bit dangerous
03:19 wizzyrea eythian: isn't there a script to do that in the migration tools?
03:19 mtompset Okay, I have a patch to fix the calling convention to set_userenv.
03:19 eythian hmm. Maybe.
03:19 wizzyrea I have this weird feeling that there is a tool for that
03:19 eythian there's a lot of scripts in there.
03:19 wizzyrea *nod* I'll check
03:19 mtompset When I fixed this, it busted t/Circulation_barcodedecode.t
03:20 wizzyrea mtompset: http://kohadevreactions.tumblr[…]ced-a-bug-kohails
03:20 mtompset The calling convention was right, but the functions parameters (as shown before) were wrong.
03:20 mtompset Do I fix it in the same bug, or a different bug?
03:22 eythian probably as another patch on the same bug
03:24 mtompset so a multipatch fix on the same bug... okay.
03:25 eythian especially if your stuff needs that to work right, but it's probably too small of a thing to warrant its own ticket.
03:30 mtompset How do you git bz 2 commits?
03:30 dcook I think it says in the wiki
03:30 wizzyrea ^
03:30 wizzyrea towards the bottom
03:31 dcook http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]Attaching_patches
03:31 dcook I think I usually use something like HEAD~1..HEAD
03:32 dcook Although I guess HEAD~1^ would probably work
03:32 * dcook can't remember the particular differences between ~ and ^ in relation to ancestors and such..
03:33 mtompset And now I am realizing why I like tiny single patches.
03:33 eythian just use HEAD
03:33 eythian or you can do HEAD^.. for the previous two
03:34 eythian ^ just means "previous", so you can do HEAD^^^^
03:34 eythian oh, or ^3
03:34 dcook What does ~ mean then?
03:35 eythian I don't know it nearly well enough to explain it.
03:36 eythian oh actually
03:36 eythian ^3 would be wrong
03:36 mtompset I just used HEAD, then unobsoleted the original patch.
03:36 mtompset and confirmed it with a git bz apply on a test branch.
03:36 eythian ^ is the first parent, ~2 is the parent's parent.
03:37 eythian so ~2 === ^^
03:37 eythian but ^2 is the second parent, not the parent's parent.
03:37 mtompset But ^^ looks happier. :)
03:37 dcook Mmm, right, that's it
03:38 dcook So HEAD~2 is head's parent's parent
03:38 eythian yeah
03:38 eythian following the first parent only
03:39 dcook So what would HEAD~^ be?
03:39 dcook Ack
03:39 eythian nothing
03:39 dcook HEAD~2^
03:39 eythian I think
03:39 jcamins dcook: typo?
03:39 dcook jcamins: :p
03:39 eythian the parent of the second parent
03:39 wizzyrea step-grandparent?
03:39 wizzyrea j/k
03:39 wizzyrea j/k
03:39 wizzyrea j/k
03:39 jcamins wizzyrea: once-removed.
03:39 dcook But HEAD~2^.. is supposed to be a range of 3 patches
03:40 dcook Head, head's parent, head's parent's parent
03:40 wizzyrea step-great-grandparent
03:40 eythian yeah, that sounds about right.
03:40 jcamins Yeah, you're right. Great-grandparents.
03:41 wizzyrea now the word parent looks weird to me
03:41 jcamins Or, great-grandparent.
03:41 eythian no step though, it's not chronological. Many people have two parents.
03:41 jcamins It's just one.
03:42 wizzyrea i know I was being not-funny
03:42 * jcamins laughed.
03:42 wizzyrea har har
03:42 * wizzyrea was imagining this screwed up family
03:42 wizzyrea relations all over the place!
03:42 wizzyrea in every sense of the word "relations
03:42 wizzyrea "
03:43 dcook I was just thinking that, wizzyrea :p
03:43 dcook Oh my...
03:43 eythian https://lh6.googleusercontent.[…]7_233666193_n.jpg <-- wizzyrea
03:43 * dcook has seen some odd Git diagrams...
03:43 wizzyrea ^ like that family
03:43 * dcook loves that image
03:44 eythian except git is just a directed acyclic graph, so that makes it easy.
03:44 dcook It would be tough to find the Doctor situation in Git
03:45 dcook When specifying a range of commits...I think you have to specify the one above the one you're including?
03:45 jcamins dcook: yes.
03:45 jcamins Well... usually.
03:45 dcook So HEAD~2^ would actually be head, head's parent, head's parent's parent, head's parent's parent's parent
03:45 dcook And the range just takes the first three
03:46 dcook Which means the wiki is slightly wrong then
03:46 dcook Well, not in the HEAD~2^ example
03:46 dcook Actually, no
03:46 dcook It's not
03:46 dcook HEAD~2..HEAD, HEAD~commitid..HEAD might be misleading
03:46 dcook But they're not necessarily wrong
03:47 jcamins We have HEAD~2^ on the wiki?
03:48 dcook "If you know you've 3 patches to attach, you can also use HEAD~2^.. to attach the 3 patches at once"
03:49 eythian git bz doesn't require specifying the commit above in general
03:49 eythian git format-patch, however, does.
03:49 eythian I don't know why it's not consistent
03:49 dcook <rev1>..<rev2>
03:49 dcook Include commits that are reachable from <rev2> but exclude those that are reachable from <rev1>.
03:49 dcook But it seems to me that it also excludes <rev1>
03:50 mtompset And that is why I like single patches. Too much HEAD-y stuffs.
03:50 dcook B..C             C
03:50 dcook Makes sense I guess
03:50 dcook mtompset: But wouldn't you rather know how it works
03:50 dcook Than limit yourself to single patches?
03:51 wizzyrea HEAD. Relations. It's getting hot in here.
03:51 dcook We haven't even talked about the hunks yet, wizzyrea. Calm down.
03:51 dcook :p
03:51 wizzyrea *snicker*
03:52 mtompset I'd rather it work in a way that is intuitive and obvious. It isn't.
03:52 dcook But don't you enjoy being a master of the arcane and esoteric?!
03:53 mtompset Only occasionally... Not always.
03:53 wizzyrea you probably only need a really good short class on git.
03:53 mtompset Not when I want it to just work.
03:53 wizzyrea then it will just work.
03:53 dcook ^^
03:54 dcook Git seemed a bit imposing when I first started using it, but it's pretty sweet
03:54 dcook Like wizzyrea is saying, once you get the hang of it, you can rattle off commands without realizing it
03:54 wizzyrea you can also find yourself having 2 hour arguments with it.
03:54 dcook wizzyrea: I'm headed to the beach in 5 minutes :p
03:55 wizzyrea No, Git! NO!
03:55 wizzyrea Bad git!
03:55 dcook Ah, "with" it
03:55 wizzyrea are you now.
03:55 dcook I just meant I'm leaving the discussion..
03:55 wizzyrea it is decidedly not beach weather here
03:55 dcook Wife got off work early and the boss is letting me out
03:55 wizzyrea @wunder nzwn
03:55 huginn` wizzyrea: The current temperature in Wellington, New Zealand is 16.0°C (3:00 PM NZST on September 20, 2013). Conditions: Scattered Clouds. Humidity: 82%. Dew Point: 13.0°C. Pressure: 29.80 in 1009 hPa (Steady).

03:55 wizzyrea hm, temp is ok
03:55 wizzyrea but the sky is not beachy.
03:55 dcook Too bad my swimmers are in my gym bag
03:56 dcook mashed potato clouds and blue sky
03:56 dcook Hmm, a bit windy though..
03:57 wizzyrea scattered clouds my ass. Try "touching the treetops" clouds.
03:58 dcook lol
03:58 wizzyrea try "gonna rain at any second" clouds.
04:00 mtompset Interesting pondering: why does reference to one's bottom express disbelief?
04:00 mtompset @wunder l7e 5y5
04:00 huginn` mtompset: The current temperature in Schomberg, Ontario is 16.1°C (12:00 AM EDT on September 20, 2013). Conditions: Clear. Humidity: 91%. Dew Point: 15.0°C. Pressure: 30.01 in 1016 hPa (Steady).
04:00 dcook Hmm
04:02 wizzyrea everyone's butt is broken. It's got a crack in it.
04:02 dcook http://dictionary.cambridge.or[…]y/british/my-arse
04:03 dcook I like how it says "offensive" under "my arse!"
04:03 dcook Anyway, time to not get sand everywhere
04:03 dcook Ta all
04:03 mtompset Bye, d--
04:04 mtompset So a crack signifies disbelief?
04:05 * mtompset shrugs, and considers going to bed.
04:12 mtompset Are we supposed to advocate for our bugs on the channel?
04:12 wizzyrea That's fine, but probably a terrible time to :)
04:13 wizzyrea as late friday and most of the rest of the world is in late evening/late night/early morning
04:13 mtompset True... it is likely lunch somewhere. :)
04:13 mtompset I'll wait until 9/23 ;)
04:14 mtompset Have a great day, #koha.

09:43 magnuse has anyone tried importing marcXchange data with bulkmarcimport.pl?
10:04 random_wind joined #koha
10:06 random_wind Would anyone know if the rebuild_zebra script is redundant in 3.12?
10:06 random_wind I ask because it seems my indexes are updating with running this!?
10:06 random_wind -without running!
10:07 magnuse random_wind: you need that script to update zebra when records are updated
10:07 magnuse how did you install? using the packages?
10:08 random_wind installed from pacakges. My indexes are updating with running this script though - it is strange.
10:08 random_wind add, remove or mod bib/item and it will reflect in Koha
10:08 random_wind opac and staff
10:09 rangi thats because the packages set up rebuild_zebra to run as a cron job
10:09 random_wind only process running is koha-common spawned processes?
10:09 random_wind under which user?
10:09 random_wind No user on the system has any crontab setup
10:09 rangi it wont
10:09 rangi look in /etc/cron.d/koha-common
10:10 random_wind sneaky!
10:10 random_wind at least that explains it!
10:10 random_wind Thanks @rangi
10:11 random_wind although, this seems like an odd thing to do!
10:11 rangi nope
10:12 rangi its a very standard thing to do
10:13 rangi look in /etc/cron.daily you'll see things like apache and logrotate do the same thing
10:14 rangi Packages must not modify the configuration file /etc/crontab, and they must not modify the files in /var/spool/cron/crontabs.
10:14 rangi If a package wants to install a job that has to be executed via cron, it should place a file named as specified in Cron job file names, Section 9.5.1 into one or more of the following directories:
10:14 rangi /etc/cron.hourly /etc/cron.daily /etc/cron.weekly /etc/cron.monthly
10:15 rangi http://www.debian.org/doc/debi[…]y/ch-opersys.html
10:15 random_wind It's confusing regarding the permission on the zebra indexes though, isn't it?
10:15 rangi no
10:16 random_wind right. Before packages (using the tar install) Zebra used to have to run as the koha user, not as root.
10:16 random_wind all my zeb indexes are owned by root
10:16 rangi yes but the packages support multiple users
10:16 rangi and multiple sites
10:17 random_wind Sure, I appreciate that.  Still not sure I like the permission changes though!
10:17 rangi mine aren't they are owned by the instance owner
10:18 rangi ls -l /var/lib/koha/persona
10:18 rangi drwxr-xr-x 6 persona-koha persona-koha 4096 Jun 10  2012 authorities
10:18 rangi drwxr-xr-x 6 persona-koha persona-koha 4096 Jun 10  2012 biblios
10:18 random_wind instance owner:instance owner ?
10:18 drojf if they are owned by root you broke them already :p
10:18 rangi yep
10:18 random_wind hum.....strange.
10:18 random_wind did a straight forward package install though!
10:18 rangi installed koha-common then did a koha-create right?
10:19 random_wind yeah, as per the docs.
10:19 random_wind Ubuntu 12.10
10:19 rangi not sure what you did, but there is no way they should be owned as root
10:19 rangi koha-rebuild-zebra does sudo -u "$instancename-koha"
10:20 rangi ie, runs as your instance user (for each of your instances)
10:20 random_wind Yeah, that is why I though. Just as an aside. If the cron is run by root how does it assume the instance user to update their files?
10:20 rangi i just pasted how
10:21 rangi what is in /var/lib/koha  for you?
10:21 random_wind Nothing, doesn't exist
10:22 rangi so where are your zebra indexes then?
10:22 random_wind Unfortunatley I need to run......however, I am pretty sure (as I would say you are!) that I have done something strange during the install. Thanks for clearing up the cron job!
10:23 rangi heh
10:24 drojf huh? :D
10:24 rangi yeah, i wonder what docs
10:25 drojf i think "that blog" has instructions for 12.10 :/
10:25 rangi cos if you have no /var/lib/koha ... something odd is going on
10:26 drojf yeah that sounds very strange
10:26 rangi ah well maybe they learnt something about packaging rules at least :)
10:26 drojf heh :D

12:02 rsm hi there can u help me regarding some pdf reports in koha
12:07 nengard rsm that would be a new feature for Koha - a development is needed. Right now it just generates CSV files or HTML or reports.
12:08 magnuse but you could take the csv, open it in e.g. LibreOffice and produce pdf from that
12:14 rsm ok but can we built a button to generate pdf reports

12:31 Pablo joined #koha
12:31 Pablo Hi all!
12:34 Pablo I'm using koha-common, v3.12. I already install (I was expecting to add libkoha-contrib-tamil-perl as dependency) but even I follow wiki instructions, I keep getting:
12:35 Pablo [....] Starting Koha indexing daemon (koha):Invalid --user argument: 'koha.koha' (unknown user koha)
12:35 Pablo Even I use --user INSTANCE-koha, or --conf as man says, or --config or -C as output says
12:36 Pablo of cource service koha-index-daemon start -C /etc/koha/sites/INSTANCE/koha-conf.xml
12:37 Pablo Someone could bypass this error...?
12:41 Pablo Also stoped zebra: koha-stop-zebra INSTANCE
12:45 jcamins Pablo: the instructions on the wiki are wrong. They don't make any sense.
12:45 jcamins Well... I think maybe they make sense if you did a standard install.
12:46 jcamins But if you do a package install or a git install (the more common options, since those are appropriate for production and development, respectively), the instructions won't work.
12:48 Pablo jcamins: So you think I wont be able to enjoy koha-index-deaemon, even I'm using v3.12? :( The strange thing is I can't set the correct user, even I use the --user option...
12:48 jcamins Pablo: it's not quite as easy as the instructions make it sound.
12:49 jcamins Bug 8773

12:49 jcamins ^^ this patch adds a script that works much better.
12:51 jcamins If you don't want to build your own packages (which you could absolutely do!), you could get copy the koha-indexer script out of that.
12:51 jcamins If you look at that script, you'll see it correctly handles users, etc.

13:19 oleonard The date you added the information
13:19 tcohen thanks oleonard
13:19 oleonard I'm not sure why that is necessary, but I followed the example of the others
13:23 magnuse the date after the name gets added if you "sign" with the magical --~~~~ thingy

14:10 slef hi everyone. Anyone had problem with constraint `aqbudgetborrowers_ibfk_2` foreign key (`borrowernumber`) references `borrowers` (`borrowernumber`)?
14:11 slef khall: OTTOMH I can't remember. Looked at the code?
14:11 mtompset Not that I recall. Sorry.
14:11 khall slef: I figured it out. It wasn't Koha, it was me ; )
14:11 khall I was expecting the wrong record separator
14:11 khall when I thought I was *sending* the wrong one
14:12 slef mtompset: hrm. I'm getting the "ERROR 1005...(errno: 150)" problem on upgrade on one library.
14:15 slef the underlying error is "Cannot resolve table name close to: (`borrowernumber`)"
14:15 slef which is just wrong, as it's pretty obviously borrowers, isn't it?
14:17 rambuton left #koha
14:19 slef Hmmm, which list to email about it - koha or koha-devel?
14:20 gmcharlt joined #koha
14:27 slef Hey, borrowers in this database is MyISAM. Should it be? Can that break foreign keys?  Except I've other tables with the same constraint already :-/
14:28 oleonard slef: borrowers is InnoDB in my test system, FWIW
14:30 slef oleonard: this library has upgraded from Version: $TheArk including before I worked there.
14:31 slef Anyone remember how to convert a MyISAM table to an InnoDB one?  STFW now
14:32 slef ALTER TABLE tablename ORDER BY 'primary_key_column'; ALTER TABLE tablename ENGINE = INNODB;
14:32 oleonard I wonder if it means the database missed an update at some point?
14:32 slef ohhhh please no
14:34 slef oh well after altering borrowers to innodb, it works... now to finish the upgrade... thanks oleonard
14:38 rambutan I'll bet druthb would know all about ISAM
14:39 rambutan that was (is?) one of the db's that Sirsi used
14:50 * mtompset sighs, "I think I must not be looking for the right thing. Can anyone give me an idea on how to equivalently code "SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID('field');" from MySQL into a more ANSI SQL or DB agnostic method? I can't seem to get $dbh->last_insert_id to work even in a simple test case.

15:14 yhager Hi, on our koha 3.10, anything we put in a non-public note (FA framework) does not get saved. It does when I use the default framework. Could this be a bug?
15:17 reiveune left #koha
15:17 jcamins yhager: my gut reaction is that you are missing a MARC-to-Koha mapping.
15:18 jcamins we should have more marc?
15:18 jcamins more marc?
15:18 jcamins let's have more marc?
15:19 druthb marc?

18:05 nengard It worked for me back when it was put in - but i'm trying it now and it's not working for me in 3.12.4
18:05 nengard not sure if it's me
18:05 nengard or a bug
18:06 jcamins nengard: I tested it fairly recently.
18:06 jcamins I had trouble getting it to work because I had the media type wrong.
18:07 nengard k so i put the link in the 856 and enabled the preference and the media type in preference
18:07 nengard what media type did you use that was wrong?
18:07 jcamins It has to be video/ogg instead of video/[something]+ogg, which is what I did at first. Or something like that.
18:07 nengard i tried mov
18:07 nengard then used zamzar to make it an ogg
18:07 nengard they only have one off option
18:07 nengard ogg
18:08 jcamins Sorry, it's not the media type of the file that was the problem.
18:08 jcamins It was the media type I entered into the record.
18:08 nengard oh - that's the part i'm missing
18:08 nengard the media type on the record!!
18:08 jcamins There are two ways to specify every MIME type, and I chose the wrong one.
18:08 nengard where do I put that?
18:08 nengard and I need to update the manual too
18:08 jcamins Or, at least, two ways to specify some MIME types.
