00:13 * wizzyrea will have a look
00:39 * eythian notes that all the serials/subscription related tables reference a biblionumber, but don't have a constraint on it.
00:40 eythian that's probably not ideal
00:43 wizzyrea yikes.
00:53 oleonard joined #koha
00:53 oleonard Hi again #koha
00:54 oleonard I'm curious whether anyone here has any VPS hosting recommendations (or dis-recommendations)
00:54 rangi i use linode for one
00:54 eythian Most people I know who know about that sort of thing use linode
00:55 rangi and http://www.hetzner.de/en/
00:55 rangi for my other one
00:56 jcamins oleonard: I'd probably recommend linode.
00:58 oleonard As someone who has no experience managing servers I've always been reluctant to step up to VPS hosting. Am I going to get myself into trouble?
00:58 mtompset Greetings, oleonard. Thanks for the feed back, I'll probably just extend the scope of the bug I'm working on to include fixing that behaviour then. :)
00:58 jcamins oleonard: nah.
00:58 wizzyrea hmm. well there's lots to learn, but nah.
00:59 mtompset VPS?
00:59 jcamins If you mess something up, you can just reimage.
00:59 wizzyrea ^
00:59 eythian oleonard: they're fairly screw-up-proof if you're at all careful
00:59 wizzyrea ^
01:00 mtompset We've begun a migration to Digital Ocean (www.digitalocean.com). I'm pleased with it thus far.
01:00 mtompset VPS is Virtual Private Server.
01:00 jcamins And you'd have to *really* screw things up to reach the point of needing to reimage.
01:01 jcamins Wasn't DigitalOcean just acquired by GoDaddy?
01:02 mtompset I don't know.
01:02 oleonard Wasn't it MediaTemple?
01:02 jcamins oleonard: oh, maybe.
01:02 wizzyrea cait - still up?
01:03 wizzyrea heaven forbid.
01:03 jcamins Yeah, Media Temple was acquired.
01:03 cait nope

01:08 mtompset Friends and colleagues most definitely will be affected by this. :(
01:09 oleonard Yikes
01:10 mtompset For the religious, please pray, and the non-religious, keep the Philippines in your thoughts.
01:13 wizzyrea i read about that earlier - it's a monster.
01:13 wizzyrea will definitely be thinking of those in the philippines.
01:15 mtompset :( Signal 4 in Masbate and Romblon.
01:15 mtompset Friends and projects are in those areas.

04:08 Oak Ahoy me hearties
04:08 Oak magnuse
04:08 Oak @wunder islamabad
04:26 Oak http://arstechnica.com/informa[…]f-ubuntu-privacy/
04:43 mtompset Greetings, Oak.
04:43 Oak hello mtompset :)
04:44 mtompset Hmmm... it would seem I have gone from adding a feature to Koha into refactoring all the news code into fixing the news code.
04:45 mtompset Whatever shall I do with bug 7567? Call it a mega fix, refactor, and enhancement?
05:25 mtompset Eeewwww... single line is short, but that is ugly to parse, papa.
05:26 mtompset bug 11183
05:26 papa hi there, what single line?
05:26 mtompset that grep portion on the join line.
05:27 papa what would you prefer? I'll do anything for a sign-off...
05:28 mtompset split the grep to a different line?
05:29 papa sure...
05:29 mtompset I haven't tested it yet... but I'm wondering...
05:30 mtompset let's say $blah->{ccode} doesn't exist.
05:30 mtompset won't your code trigger an error?
05:30 papa nope, autoviv
05:31 papa will return undef
05:35 mtompset okay... confirmed that with some testing code... interesting.. okay.
05:35 mtompset Let's try this patch out. :)
05:40 mtompset have an item with a collection code?
05:40 mtompset where is a collection code set, papa?
05:41 papa no idea, I had it on the database :(
05:42 papa should be on the item details
05:42 mtompset something like BK?
05:43 mtompset found it.
05:43 papa ok, where?
05:44 papa ah, edit items
05:44 mtompset Yep.
05:45 pastebot "mtompset" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "Was this your error, papa?" (1 line) at http://paste.koha-community.org/256
05:46 mtompset One of them.
05:46 wahanui hmmm... one of them is bound to have a good idea ;)
05:46 papa that one should be fixed as well
05:48 mtompset hmmm... I triggered one you didn't fix.
05:48 mtompset Let's see if I can figure out how I did that.
05:49 papa magic...
05:49 wahanui http://catb.org/jargon/html/magic-story.html
05:52 mtompset actually 626 triggered even on a simple search.
05:53 mtompset I'm trying to figure out how to trigger 576.
05:54 mtompset AH! going to an item without a collection code.
05:55 mtompset So, actually, regular search triggers 626.
05:55 mtompset and then opac detail on an item without a collection code triggers 576.
05:56 papa something like that
05:56 mtompset okay... let's see if that patch remedies it. :)
05:56 mtompset which eyeballing says it should.
05:59 mtompset Hmmm... gmcharlt you here?
06:00 mtompset @later tell gmcharlt  opac-search.pl: Use of uninitialized value $code_wanted in string eq at /usr/share/perl5/MARC/Field.pm line 314. -- I was just searching for happy :)
06:01 mtompset well, papa the two warnings seem gone, but there's a lot more to find and correct. :)
06:02 papa I know :) now that we silence those, others will top the list
06:03 mtompset Actually, the preference you reference is irrelevant, I believe.
06:04 mtompset or not...
06:05 mtompset 626 must be related to the koha search history.
06:05 mtompset I still triggered 576 without it. :)
06:16 mtompset signed off, papa. :)
06:16 papa much obliged
06:17 mtompset No, thank you for helping reduce log flooding. :)
06:17 mtompset It helps find the real bugs.

06:41 mtompset Greetings, cait.
06:44 cait wizzyrea++
07:07 * magnuse waves
07:07 * magnuse needs to catch up on reading list mails and new bug reports
07:08 papa hey mtompset, what was the bug number for that map you want me to revisit?
07:09 mtompset map?
07:09 wahanui map is probably new in koha
07:09 mtompset probably bug 11077
07:10 mtompset I signed off the complex grep patch, if that is what you are asking about.
07:10 mtompset It's ugly to read, but it works.
07:10 papa sorry, grep
07:10 mtompset that was bug 11183, no mods needed.
07:10 mtompset Now we wait for QA to say, "Ooo... less flooding logs, simple enough to check and pass" ;)
07:12 papa mtompset: so who is going to merge all of those patches on 11077?
07:12 mtompset can't really merge in tcohen's.
07:12 mtompset It's already signed off.
07:13 mtompset but mine is a follow up on yours and his, so if you want to merge mine with your and simplify it into one, that would be okay.
07:13 papa ok, let me try
07:13 mtompset after all... I'm not about credit. I'm about less floody logs. :)
07:14 mtompset git rebase -i
07:14 papa sure
07:14 mtompset Anyways... I'm super late past my sleep time.
07:15 papa sure, good night
07:15 mtompset But filters fixed, code seems to be working... just need to find test file, if any...
07:15 mtompset and if not write some tests.
07:15 mtompset But I'll do that... later today after sleep. :)
07:16 mtompset Have a great day, #koha. :)

10:18 kivilahtio Joubu: I got it. I forgot to check the dependenices for that bug and it all makes sense now :)
10:19 kivilahtio Joubu: Wow the messaging layer is pretty tricky and it is rather difficult to test youor code
10:19 kivilahtio Joubu: Not saying there is anything wrong with your code, but it is complex and trying to get the big picture is challenging
10:19 kivilahtio which is nice :)
10:20 kivilahtio anyway have a great weekend, I gotta scram!
10:21 kivilahtio Joubu: my question was about actually implementing the functionality for print or feed or phone message types
10:22 kivilahtio we need to have real prints as well, so kinda curious how Koha deals with prints
10:22 kf kivilahtio: at kohacon there was a presentation about a library doing phone notification
10:22 kf it's already possible
10:22 kivilahtio kf: But there is no system preference to set where the print csv's are stored?
10:22 kf there are cronjobs i think generating them
10:23 kf maybe check out the slides- i didn't attend all of that session
10:23 kivilahtio kf: is there any documentation about the phone, feed and print?
10:23 kf but they did work to make it work with itiva
10:23 kivilahtio we have Ifo we need to integrate to :)
10:23 kivilahtio *Info*
10:23 kf feed doesn't work, print only for holds and overdues, using jobs - could be a lot nicer
10:24 kivilahtio I just learnt that one should not run overdue_notices.pl more than once a day :)
10:25 kf that's true
10:26 kivilahtio kf: I think I am understanding how to deal with print
10:26 kivilahtio there are numerous cronjobs for different notification types?
10:26 kivilahtio and each needs to be configured separately
10:28 kivilahtio kf: Is cronjobs/printoverdues.pl still in use? It is not documented?
10:30 kivilahtio I guess so, as it looks pretty handy
10:30 kivilahtio thanks kf for your advice! Have a good weekend
10:31 kf it is yes
10:32 kf afaik
10:32 kf i would like somthing better integrated into koha, with an option to download pdf files from staff
10:40 ashimema kf: whilst at kohacon you explained your marc uploads proceure.. remind me what script you use instead of bulkmarcimport?
10:40 kf we are using the staged import from command line sec
10:41 ashimema /tools/stages_marc_import.pl?
10:41 kf stage_file.pl and commit_file.pl in misc
10:41 ashimema ah yes.. I see them now.
10:42 ashimema ack.. neither have a perldoc.
10:42 kf the names are kind of logical but make them easy to miss
10:42 kf -h should give you some info about the options
10:42 kf they work quite similar to what the gui can do
10:42 ashimema and remind me.. why do you use those instead of bulkmarkimpork with matching?
10:43 kf hm partially historical maybe, but i also like the undo options and that i can see my imports from the interface
10:43 kf i can check anytime what has been imported when
10:43 ashimema aha.. so they add to the imports table..
10:43 ashimema thats nice..
10:43 kf i think also some different options for item generation, would have to compare
10:44 kf and bulk learned matching later i think
10:44 kf it's completely as if you use the stage/manage marc import tools
10:45 ashimema cheers kf.. that explains a few things..
10:46 ashimema I still don't like that there's two ways to skin the cat.. but i kinda understand why now.
10:46 ashimema I take it they take in isomarc files.. not marcxml
10:47 kf i think so
10:47 kf i imagine it would not be too hard to add
10:47 kf we have been using the script since 3.0.something before 3.2
10:47 kf i think bulkmarcimport changed a lot since then
10:48 ashimema it certainly has changed allot
11:04 ashimema jcamins you around?
11:06 kf might still be a bit early, but with jcamins you never know
11:07 ashimema :)

11:46 gerundio hi everyone
11:47 gerundio long time no see :)
11:47 gerundio is there anyway to choose which options are available in the master head search combo box in OPAC?
11:48 magnuse gerundio: don't think so, apart from tweaking it with jquery
11:49 gerundio I'm ignoring that workaround on purpose
11:49 gerundio so the final answer for me in no :)
11:49 gerundio thanks magnuse++

14:32 tcohen thanks magnuse
14:33 magnuse that bug adds memcached config both to apache-site.conf.in and koha-conf-site.xml.in :-)
14:33 magnuse i remove it again in "Bug 11167 - Remove memcached config from koha-conf-site.xml.in"

14:36 magnuse \o
14:36 druthb magnuse!
14:36 wahanui i heard magnuse was a Norwegian giant.
14:36 magnuse tcohen: oh noes! nice if you remember - that should be fixed
14:36 magnuse druthb: before i forget again: have you ever migrated from aleph to koha?
14:37 druthb magnuse:  hmm…I think so.
14:38 magnuse druthb: do you remember what it was like? e.g. on a scale from 1 to 10 ;-)
14:38 druthb I don't see any ILS-specific tools for that in my git repo, so if we did, I suspect we got MARCs with embedded items, and CSVs for everything else.  My generic tools would be able to mash that.  If that's the case, it'd be silly-easy.
14:38 magnuse goody
14:39 druthb Don't hold me to that; I could be remembering wrong.  But I think I did at least one of 'em.
14:39 magnuse i'll take "silly-easy" as an answer until further notice ;-)
14:40 druthb I am willing to do consult help, if you hit a wall.  :)  Shout if you need any help.
14:40 magnuse i'm also going to send an email to the list, to see what experience people have
14:40 magnuse druthb: cool!
14:41 magnuse ad the reason i'm asking is that there was a library running aleph that was curious about any libraris that have experience with switching from aleph to koha :-)
14:41 magnuse oh well, i gotta run!

14:53 kf oleonard:speaking of those - i had lots of problems yesterday with date of birth and patrons
14:53 kf are yo working on those by chance?
14:54 oleonard I discovered Bug 11220 because a bad patron dateofbirth value triggered an error
14:55 oleonard We have many patron accounts with the dateofbirth '0000-00-00' which Koha really ought to handle better.
14:55 oleonard I don't know if that's the same kind of thing you were dealing with kf?
14:57 oleonard Looks like Koha currently adds new patrons with '0000-00-00' as the dateofbirth if you don't specify a value
14:57 oleonard I wonder if that is new?
14:58 oleonard 1. Create a new patron. Leave dateofbirth empty. 2. Save the record. 3. Open the record for editing. 4. Save the record without making changes. 5. Koha gives you an error: "Date of birth is invalid."
14:58 oleonard That's definitely a bug.
15:00 oleonard My production database doesn't list any new registrations which have '0000-00-00' as the dateofbirth (3.10.x)
15:01 oleonard So I guess I have a tedious git bisect in my future :|

15:25 vfernandes hi guys :)
15:25 vfernandes i have another tricky question
15:25 vfernandes i'm using koha authorities to manage a thesaurus
15:26 vfernandes BT (broader terms) and NT (narrower terms) are possible in Koha
15:26 vfernandes it's possible to have related terms? in thesaurus definition they are USE an UF
15:28 jcamins vfernandes: USE and UF are different from related terms.
15:28 vfernandes humm ok
15:28 vfernandes but are possible to implement in Koha?
15:28 jcamins Related terms (RT) are used when there are valid authority records for both terms.
15:28 jcamins Yes, that's what 5xx fields are.
15:29 vfernandes http://koha.keep.pt/cgi-bin/ko[…]l.pl?authid=24224
15:29 jcamins I see one related term.
15:29 vfernandes this example has 2 narrower terms, 1 broader term and one related term
15:30 vfernandes USE and UF can be implemented using wich letter in $5?
15:30 jcamins No, USE and UF are 4xx.
15:30 jcamins Not related terms at all.
15:30 vfernandes ok
15:30 jcamins You have one UF term, "Formação Área e Território"
15:31 jcamins And two USE terms, "Formação Sectorial" and "Formação Área"
15:31 jcamins Which doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
15:31 jcamins You might want to think about reviewing your mappings.
15:31 vfernandes this is only a test :D
15:32 vfernandes can you explain me how to do a USE?
15:32 jcamins You don't.
15:33 jcamins The way MARC thesauri work, you don't have records for non-preferred terms.
15:33 vfernandes ok... but you can enter the terms?
15:33 vfernandes on fields 4XX?
15:34 jcamins 4xx is for Used for.
15:34 tcohen magnus_away: i posted a small and simple followup
15:35 vfernandes so UF it's possible but USE not?
15:35 jcamins Right, because there are no records for the non-preferred terms.
15:38 vfernandes ok... there is anyway to "pass" the MARC thesauri limitations?
15:40 jcamins Not really.
15:40 jcamins Well- don't use MARC. But that doesn't really help.

16:23 Barrc Hey all, quick "submitting a patch question". If changing the DB structure I need a $DBversion, is it just the revision of Koha I have cloned e.g "3.13.00.042"?
16:24 mtompset Barrc: in updatedatabase.pl you use XXX for the last 3.
16:25 mtompset It's the responsibility of the RM to change it.
16:25 mtompset and you don't change kohaversion.pl
16:25 Barrc Oh! Cool, that makes sense. Thanks

16:33 ashimema kf.. who was it that wanted to attack the wiki for us?
16:33 kf hmmm maybe joel? but I think it was someone else even
16:34 ashimema that's the one.. Joel was deffo keen on helping with wiki
16:34 kf i don't think the categories in the wiki really work for us currently
16:34 kf there are way too many
16:34 kf all the scrolling when you edit a page is quite terrible
16:34 ashimema we have too many bad plugins that make it even more confusing too.
16:35 ashimema It could do with someone taking it on.. making it read only for a couple of weeks whilst they sort it out on a local copy.
16:36 nengard joined #koha
16:36 jenkins_koha Starting build #1499 for job Koha_master (previous build: SUCCESS)
16:37 kf hm not sure taking it off the web a couple of weeks would be good - but maybe you could work in sectiosn
16:37 kf for example we should markt he old rfcs
16:37 kf they are confusing for people - thinking the features are really in koha that way
16:37 ashimema i don't mean take it away completely.. jsut stick it in read only mode.
16:37 ashimema that way it can stay as a reference but can't be updated whilst someone is trying to fix it
16:38 ashimema the RFC's should have a really clear workflow and status on them.. otherwise they're more than useless and confusing.
16:41 kf Agreed, not sure how to do it best in mediawiki tho
16:41 kf i never really got warm with it, i am more a dokuwiki type of person still :)
16:41 ashimema easy.. use templates
16:42 kf half the time i end up changing the template instead of using it... i should learn how to use them
16:42 ashimema mediawiki is crazy powerfull.. jsut has a slight learning curve to start with... if someone takes the time to set up a bunch of templates and write some rules ofr their use then they work great!
16:42 ashimema I'm also a big fan of forms..
16:43 ashimema so create a template, then create a from so filling out said template is easier..
16:43 ashimema We have a customers only wiki for evergreen that looks great because it was planned from day one.. I wish our inranet wiki was as good ;)
16:44 kf ashimema: you will make us volunteer you for it...
16:44 kf if you don't stop sounding so knowledgeable
16:45 ashimema mmm...  most of it's in the planning.. I'de be happy to help implement if we worked out a plan.
16:45 ashimema who hosts the wiki anyways?
16:47 kf ah sec
16:47 kf that's on the start page at least :)

16:59 gmcharlt ashimema: send me a note with what you have in mind
16:59 rambutan hey, he's back
17:01 gmcharlt but TBH, I think incremental changes beats "lock the wiki for two weeks", especially since we're talking about a wiki that essentially has to let any non-spammer join it
17:05 ashimema Yeah.. maybe incremental is best..
17:05 ashimema Whats the traffic on the wiki in terms of edits like?
17:05 ashimema A fast moving target is very hard to clean up.. hense my thoughts on locking it read only for a short period.
17:07 ashimema I'd love to see some drastic cutting back on the categories we have with some clear guidelines on what categories are for so people put their pages in the right place to start with.. then also use semantic mediawiki for 'tagging' pages for search reasons.
17:10 ashimema I'd also like to cut back on the navigation related plugins we have.. having 'CategoryTree', 'Multi-Category Search', 'BreadCrumbs', 'Category Breadcrumb' and 'SelectCategory' all enabled at the same time is plain confusing for all..
17:10 gmcharlt average is roughly 10 edits a day; while making it read-only for a couple days is reasonable, I would hope that a sufficiently well-managed reorganzation effort that does some protoyping first wouldn't require longer than that
17:11 ashimema Fair point..
17:11 ashimema I'm coming to that conclusion too now as it happens..
17:12 reiveune bye
17:12 reiveune left #koha
17:12 Oak joined #koha
17:12 gmcharlt more importantly, though -- if you want to reorganize the wiki, are you willing to commit to act for (say) at least six months as a wiki manager to both teach folks how to work with the new scheme and to keep things tidy?
17:14 ashimema Hmm... time is always at a president.
17:15 ashimema but it does sound like there are a fair few more people than me who would like to see the wiki more usable again.
17:16 gmcharlt well, lots of people want things -- that's a constant
17:16 ashimema very true
17:16 wahanui I know. That's why I said it.
17:17 ashimema Might see if i can get in touch with Joel as he was very interested in contributing to a wiki tidy up..  I've committed to such things on other wiki's so could possibly help lead the way. (I did allot on openstreetmaps way back and ran our two internal wiki's at ptfs europe)
17:17 gmcharlt I'm not trying to dissuade you, but I am suggesting that a reorg that includes follow-through for a reasonably long period of time is better than is allowed to immdiately decay
17:18 gmcharlt *one that is allowed
17:18 ashimema yeah.. it would need maintenance..  hence my thoughts on trying to get Joel onboard.
17:19 ashimema Are there things holding us back from upgrading mediawiki out of interest?
17:20 jcamins ashimema: interest?
17:20 wahanui interest is bunched in particular regions.
17:20 jcamins ;)
17:21 gmcharlt ashimema: and tuits
17:23 ashimema tuits?
17:23 oleonard Tuits are what you have when you have the time get 'round to it
17:24 ashimema I see..

23:06 pianohacker once you get bitten by a fad like that you just get can't enough of it though
23:06 jeremywellner_ Well of course zombies aren't popular... they are not the sorts of former people you'd want to invite over to your parents for dinner
23:07 jeremywellner_ Even zombie cheerleaders and football players who were once popular are now targeted for their appearance and intellect
23:08 jeremywellner_ All they want to do is gain your acceptance (and other parts of you... psyche or otherwise)
23:08 jeremywellner_ and live in a utopia of their own choosing
23:08 jeremywellner_ thus representing the dreams of millions of immigrants coming to America
23:09 jeremywellner_ who come here to create a new and prosperous life for themselves...
23:09 jeremywellner_ Is that so bad Joy?
