09:46 HB joined #koha
09:48 HB Morning koha i'm running koha under ubuntu and missing 2 perl modules ... there was a command to install them (i dont find my notes on this one) annyone knows how
09:58 ashimema if your running on packages you should probably already have all the dependancies..
09:58 ashimema if not, cpan or cpanm is your friend
10:00 HB was reading about that
10:08 cait HB: which one are missing? some you don't really need
10:10 HB i just try to be complete and get my notes back in order
10:14 HB found it
10:15 HB other question if i want to completely empty an existing koha is there a schortcut or do i better install a new one
10:21 magnuse HB: i usually drop and recreate the db
10:22 HB aha
10:22 magnuse (login to mysql as the root user, then "drop database x", "create database x")
10:22 HB sometimes its simple :)
10:22 magnuse then you will have to run the web installer again
10:22 HB ok
10:23 magnuse so data-wise you start completely from scratch, but you don't have to do another installation
10:23 magnuse ...of the code
10:23 HB well its easy'er to do this so our ldap and stuff stays the same
10:24 HB thx
10:26 HB we planning on doing a second koha library (not a test) for lending out materials (not books) so
11:09 cait hm thought there was a duplicate check in acq at some point
11:09 cait but can't find it
11:09 cait i remember it had 3 columns/options

11:33 sandeepbhavsar hi all
11:36 sandeepbhavsar I am using koha 3.08.10.002 git version. i have created 3-4 libraries under it and now i would like to delete the data of 2 libraries. please guide for the commands to delete the entire data of these 2 libraries
11:38 petter joined #koha
11:39 petter hello #koha
11:44 magnuse hello petter
11:45 petter hei magnus!
11:45 petter så hyggelig:)
11:47 sandeepbhavsar I am using koha 3.08.10.002 git version. i have created 3-4 libraries under it and now i would like to delete the data of 2 libraries. please guide for the commands to delete the entire data of these 2 libraries
11:48 magnuse :-)
11:49 magnuse sandeepbhavsar: there is no easy way to delete all data associated with one library in koha
11:49 magnuse at least not that i know of
11:49 sandeepbhavsar from phpmyadmin
11:50 petter in genral, librarians are not good at getting rid of stuff!
11:50 magnuse hehe, true
11:51 sandeepbhavsar agree
11:51 sandeepbhavsar but is there any solution to delete the data of only 1 library from it
11:52 sophie_m joined #koha
11:53 petter only bibliographic data?
11:53 petter or users, transaction history , and other data as well?
11:53 sandeepbhavsar yes
11:53 sandeepbhavsar only bibliographic data
11:57 petter hm
11:57 petter So the info on whitch library is on the items
11:58 petter in the items table
11:58 petter You can easily delete those
11:58 petter Then you have to delete from biblioitems, those that no longer have any items
11:58 petter I think?
11:58 petter In any case, backup your database first!
11:59 petter I'm not familiar enough with the database schema to give you the queries
11:59 petter but something like: DELETE FROM items WHERE homebranch=<branch-to-delete> OR holdingbranch=<branch-to-delete>
12:04 cait depending ont he catalog there might be recordswithout items - like for analytics
12:05 cait so maybe keep track of the biblionumbers you delete items from
12:05 cait and then delete the records in the list that no longer have items
12:05 cait hi khall :)
12:05 khall mornin cait!
12:05 cait hm thinking about it, if you delete biblio ti should cascade to biblioitem and items
12:06 sandeepbhavsar suppose if i delete the library, will automatically the data associated with it will be deleted.
12:11 cait sandeepbhavsar: to my knowledge - o
12:11 cait no
12:11 cait not all tables have constraints that would ensure that
12:13 Operator hi cait!
12:14 pablito hi everyone
12:15 pablito in cataloging, is there are way for me know if a callnumber I am entering is a duplicate?
12:27 cait pablito: currently not
12:28 cait pablito: i think you could try to write a plugin for checking that
12:28 pablito hmm ok, thanks

13:03 cait petter: my coworker built 3.12.9 recently, but probably you are wondering about other versions?
13:04 petter cait: I'm building 3.14 with one extra patch
13:04 petter it builds fine
13:04 cait :)
13:04 petter but somehow the perl dependencies doesn't get installed
13:05 petter dpkg -i koha-deps_3.14... fails
13:08 magnuse any error message?
13:10 petter the messages are about 100, like this: dpkg: Kravpdoblem hindrer oppsettet av koha-perldeps
13:10 petter perl-dependency-x missing
13:10 petter I followed the instructions here:
13:10 petter http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]es_-_The_Easy_Way
13:11 petter So I'm curious if it works for anyone else
13:11 petter I'm guessing something went wrong in the build
13:13 magnuse tcohen was the last one to edit that page - he might know something
13:14 petter jepp, I'll ask him
13:29 oleonard joined #koha
13:31 oleonard Hi #koha
13:33 magnuse hiya oleonard
13:34 jcamins petter: I build 3.12 packages frequently.
13:34 jcamins petter: after dpkg -i you have to run apt-get install -f.
13:37 petter jcamins: when I run apt-get install -f, koha-perldeps is uninstalled
13:37 jcamins petter: sounds like you're missing an apt repo.
13:38 petter ah, so I must add the koha repo as well? When installing my own packages?
13:38 jcamins Or you have to host all the extra packages in your own repo.
13:38 jcamins There are a bunch of dependencies on debian.k-c.org.
13:38 petter I see, thanks!
13:42 magnuse ah jcamins++
13:49 petter Great, I'ts installing now, thanks again :)
13:50 dbs oleonard: hoping my bootstrap RDFa patch fits with your general XSL approach
13:52 dbs magnuse: took a look at the unimarc XSL but wasn't sure where (or if) types like Book / Map / Music get sorted out (varname "leaderMaterialType" in the marc21 xsl). might have just been too late for me though!
13:53 magnuse dbs: i'm the normarc guy, not the unimarc guy ;-)
13:53 oleonard dbs: I have had very little to do with the XSL, so you won't hurt my feelings
13:54 dbs magnuse: ah! haven't looked at that yet, will bug you when I do (if someone else doesn't get there first!)
13:59 nengard joined #koha
14:01 magnuse dbs: if yu do get around to it you can bug me as much as you like!
14:02 magnuse bug 10826 already exists, but it's probably not something i will have time for in the near future...
14:02 huginn` Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=10826 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, magnus, NEW , Add schema.org microdata for NORMARC
14:05 oleonard Joubu: Your batch checkout project would be interesting in conjunction with khall's AJAX circ patch: Submit multiple barcodes by default, live-update the table of checkouts.
14:05 magnuse so feel free to hijack it, dbs ;-)
14:06 khall yes, that would be fanstastic oleonard! I wanted the next step in this project to be a fully ajax based checkouts page!
14:07 oleonard We've been talking about it for years. I have a feeling the reason we haven't done it is it's hard :|
14:07 magnuse sounds like that would make the checkout page snappier - that would make Viktor happy! :-)
14:07 khall and that's basically how I was going to accomplish it ( except for the multiple barcodes at once thing )
14:07 khall yes, I'm expecting it to be a slow process, there is *alot* that does on when checking out items
14:07 dbs magnuse: sure thing! be warned that if I do grab it I'll push RDFa instead of microdata though :)
14:08 magnuse khall, oleonard, Joubu: see also bug 9844

14:10 khall so far what I'm doing is ajaxifying all the tables so we can get circulation.pl to load as quickly as possible to increase responsiveness
14:11 Joubu arg, so bad
14:14 oleonard Joubu: ?
14:14 Joubu I planned to do something like that, but fortunately, I didn't have the time.
14:15 Joubu oleonard: I finished to write my patch yesterday and it is already obsolete...
14:15 oleonard :(
14:16 magnuse obsolete or in need of a rebase?
14:17 Joubu need a big rebase, I think
14:19 Joubu What it shows is we don't communicate enough on developments in progress.
14:20 Joubu Here it's my fault, I didn't check the bug reports before to start

14:48 magnuse Joubu: yup
14:48 Joubu I just see you are in the "group members". Is it mean you propose to present NYTProf ?
14:48 Joubu or you are searching for someone?
14:49 magnuse searching for someone!
14:49 magnuse i have played with it a tiny bit, but not enough to tell others about it
14:50 Joubu what are you expecting for?
14:50 magnuse dunno - i just think it might be a handy tool to use for improving koha
14:51 magnuse but i'm open to suggestions :-)
14:51 magnuse i added it partly because the two others from oslo public library expressed an interest in it
14:52 Joubu I can try to prepare something if nobody does it (in Frenglish, official language for the Hackfest)

18:03 jcamins talljoy: Holy Water.
18:03 talljoy considering flattening it out and pulling out the data to import into 3.14.
18:04 talljoy but could install on 3.0 and upgrade 22 to 30 and then step it up to 3.14
18:04 talljoy but yah.
18:04 talljoy that 2.2 data structure is alien.
18:04 jcamins talljoy: I don't upgrade 2.2 when I have to deal with it. I just export the data and migrate it like its a foreign ILS.
18:05 talljoy that's how i'm leaning.  i see the marc in the marc_breeding  (who named that?)
18:05 talljoy anything i need to look for in marc_blob_subfield or marc_biblio?
18:06 talljoy i can parse out the stuff in items.  looks like category was the old 'itemtype'
18:07 talljoy issues has old and current checkouts.
18:07 talljoy jcamins this was pre zebra, no?
18:07 talljoy which would explain some of the tables i'm seeing
18:08 slef talljoy: I think I've seen rangi suggest the same as jcamins says too.
18:08 slef and yes, 2.2 was pre-zebra
18:08 talljoy that makes sense, i can slough off alot of this then.
18:09 druthb and I, talljoy.  Anything prior to about 3.4, I just treat it like a foreign ILS.  Extract, mash, and import.  Attempting an upgrade is *madness*
18:09 talljoy heh
18:09 * talljoy is feeling crazed today
18:10 * oleonard reminds everyone to stay vigilant lest the MARCs breed
18:10 druthb it's your grey hairs to get doing it, but I don't recommend it.
18:10 talljoy biblioitems contains the itemtype i thinks in 2.2?
18:11 druthb yup
18:11 * talljoy loves a new puzzle
18:12 talljoy oleonard no joke.   scary business.  like gremlins marc is.
18:12 talljoy keep it away from water.
18:16 talljoy need water brb
18:17 edveal joined #koha
18:19 magnuse more marc?
18:19 wahanui http://02varvara.files.wordpre[…]no-bear.jpg?w=800
18:21 talljoy you are correct wahanui
18:28 cait oleonard: clean up frenzy?
18:29 oleonard Yeah why not
18:29 cait lots of patches :)

19:24 oleonard When defining tags in MARC tag structures and Authority types should the tag field always be numeric?
19:25 jcamins oleonard: that's probably not a reasonable assumption.
19:25 jcamins @quote get 123
19:25 wahanui http://xkcd.com/1172/
19:25 huginn` jcamins: 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)
19:25 jcamins It's a nice thought, though.
19:26 cait oleonard: it can have letters i think
19:27 oleonard Okay, I saw some unused validation code on the page for requiring numeric input and wondered it it was supposed to be in use
19:53 chris_n` joined #koha
20:35 oleonard When creating a new notice should code, name, and message subject all be required fields?
20:36 cait hmm
20:36 cait i think for slips you don't need  a subject
20:36 cait but emails it makes sense
20:37 oleonard ...but no way to know whether one is setting up an email or a slip, so you can't require it
20:38 cait yeah
20:38 cait was wondering if it would hurt to require it for slips
20:38 cait on the other side... an email without a subject still works
20:38 cait and not even email software requires it
20:40 oleonard Seems like it would be doing the world a favor to require it for emails if we could
20:57 cait oleonard: you have a point there
21:29 oleonard Bye #koha have a good weekend
21:40 gml joined #koha
21:41 gml hello.
21:41 gml manage-marc-import.pl doesn't work, in the web interface it doesn't change from "0%", and looking into the code, it got stuck in BackgroundJob::new(), just before the return line.
21:41 gml plz someone give me some light on that.
21:43 gml *would
22:24 gml plz someone would give me some light on that
22:24 gml manage-marc-import.pl doesn't work, in the web interface it doesn't change from "0%", and looking into the code, it got stuck in BackgroundJob::new(), just before the return line.
22:53 jcamins gml: the task may be running as a background job. It can take a while. It could also be that your file is too large. Or that your internet connection is glitchy. Or that you are out of disk space. Or that you are using Internet Explorer.
22:54 jcamins But Friday evening/Saturday morning is not generally a good time to look for help on #koha. You might be better off sending an e-mail, since people might see the e-mail Monday morning when they get back to work.
23:01 gml that's not a good time in my country too, the fridays' "happy hour" and all of this...
23:02 gml I'm testing with a batch with only 1 record
23:04 gml I've not considered a browser approach. I'm using Firefox, but I'd thought the problem could come from the client.
23:06 gml I mean, I 'd not considered that the problem could come from the browser.
23:07 jcamins Yeah, the browser will occasionally randomly decide not to refresh from the AJAX.
23:07 jcamins Going to a different page and then following a link back to the batch often results in the import being finished.
23:09 jcamins Well, the import finishes regardless, but you don't see the finished status without changing pages.
23:09 jcamins Of course, that only applies if you are using Apache. If you're using any sort of fastcgi, all bets are off on the record importing.
23:12 jcamins My rule of thumb is that staging/importing records doesn't work under Plack/fastcgi.
23:14 gml The server is on Apache.
23:14 gml what about BackgroundJob.pm?  perhaps do you know why is the execution stopping in there?
23:15 jcamins Nope, sorry.
23:15 jcamins I can't really help troubleshoot much, but out of curiosity, what do you mean by "stopping"?
23:18 gml I put logaction "marks" across the code in BackgroundJob.pm, and in certain point some marks do not appear in log. That's the way I know about execution.
23:19 gml But I'm supposing something about threads or some parallel thing,
23:20 jcamins Oh, yeah, you can't use logging for debugging that code.
23:20 jcamins STDOUT is closed.
23:20 jcamins As is STDERR.
23:20 jcamins Actually, I think *all* filehandles might be closed.
23:22 gml all from STDERR appears in koha-error.log , right?
23:23 jcamins Except when you're working with the import code. In the import code, STDERR is basically just thrown out.
23:30 gml I'll find out the koha support emails
23:30 gml thank you jcamins
23:30 gml and thx to someone for the security release news
