00:05 eythian BobB: > be to bolt Koha and Moodle [...] together
00:05 eythian we have a moodle development team here, it's something we've been looking for an excuse to do for a while.
00:06 BobB hi eythian, it was Andrew Boag who made the suggestion to me
00:06 eythian oh right :)
00:06 BobB but there's nothing concrete from the client yet - not even about what they want to achieve
00:07 BobB just 'Is Koha LTI compliant?'
00:07 eythian yeah
00:07 BobB I hadn't heard of LTI before the question :)
00:08 BobB good info from Mirko, eh
00:09 eythian I'd not heard of it either.
00:10 eythian but yeah, that should be helpfule
00:10 eythian -e

08:24 andreashm morning
08:30 magnuse kia ora andreashm
08:33 andreashm hi magnuse
08:41 bakh joined #koha
08:42 bakh Hi everyone, would anyone please be so kind and guided me a little with data importing? I was able to import over 15000 records to the database, but I have a problem with "item holdings". It randomly shows that I have 2 or 3 item holdings, but I only have one.
08:44 magnuse bakh: in koha, items in marc records are in the 952 field. so check your records for what appears there
08:44 bakh oh I see
08:45 bakh so If i used for example 952$1, 952$d and 952$i for one book
08:45 bakh it will tell the system that i have three item holdings?
08:45 magnuse here is an explanation of what goes in what subfield: http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]_fields_%289xx%29
08:45 JesseM joined #koha
08:46 magnuse yeah, if you have three separate 952 fields with those subfields, koha will see it as three separate items
08:46 magnuse or not import some of the 952's, because mandatory subfields are missing
08:46 bakh oh, Ok, thanks very much, I will change it so that there will be only  952$i as inventory
08:47 magnuse you will need at least $a and $b too, i think
08:48 magnuse the value there should correspond to a library you have set up in koha
08:48 bakh What if I only have one library?
08:50 magnuse you still have to put it in $a and $b, but it will be the same for all records
08:51 bakh oh, Ok thanks, Ill try that
08:53 magnuse bakh: and just to be clear: what you out there is the library "code" you defined on INTRANET/cgi-bin/koha/admin/branches.pl
08:56 magnuse gah! what you *out* there
08:56 magnuse gah! gah! what you *put* there
08:58 indradg bakh: this is what 952 for a record on one of my systems look like in MarcEdit
08:58 indradg =952  \\$8FIC$aMIETSCHOOL$bMIETSCHOOL$d2003-01-03$​eCBT$g80$i126$p1000000126$w2003-01-03$xBill No. 1296;1297$yBK
08:59 bakh oh I see, Il try to compare it with mine
09:00 * indradg is wondering is anyone who has worked on the currency code is around
09:00 cait bakh: also setting y the itemtype is good for circulation later
09:00 cait indradg: i have seen your emails, but only tested, not worked on the code
09:00 cait what's the problem?
09:00 wahanui https://i.imgur.com/sguSwlh.jpg
09:02 bakh hm my record looks a bit different
09:02 bakh =952  \\$10 =952  \\$d7/28/2011 12:00:00 AM =952  \\$i2439874
09:02 cait hm that's still 3 952
09:03 bakh yeah, thats why i have 3 item holdings
09:03 cait and the date format looks weird too
09:03 cait what is $i?
09:03 wahanui $i is used
09:03 cait is it the number you use for checking out?
09:03 cait the barcode?
09:03 wahanui it has been said that the barcode is actually handled by cataloguing/value_builder/barcode.pl.
09:03 bakh in next import I have deleted the 952i and the date
09:04 bakh its not important for our library, so I was said right now.
09:04 cait you should create something like indradg's example
09:04 cait 952 \\$aBRANCHCODE$bBRANCHCODE$yitemtype$o...$p... would be good - but depends on your library
09:04 bakh ye, Im testing it right now, but the problem is, that I always get 952 on different lines
09:44 magnuse tiffintime!
09:51 cait tiffin?
09:52 cait lunchtime!
09:52 wahanui i heard lunchtime was a terrible time for a meeting

11:37 cait i got confused - i thought the relatives checkouts had already been pushed

12:17 magnuse weird. do we really remove hyphens from the first isbn (020), when records are imported into koha?
12:22 magnuse not when it's done through the web ui, at least
12:23 tcohen joined #koha
12:23 cait magnuse: hm maybe ohnly in some cases? marc21 is without hyphens
12:23 cait or only for the isbn column in the db tables?
12:23 tcohen morning
12:23 tcohen :-d
12:23 cait happy tcohen :)
12:23 tcohen yay!
12:24 cait how is it?
12:24 tcohen identical :-D
12:25 cait oh
12:25 cait same model as the stolen one?
12:25 cait working on some accessibliity issues - anyone experience with that?
12:25 cait and does anyone have a jquery to auto-check the 'show all checkouts'?
12:25 tcohen @later tell mtompset i don't get it. the problem is related to i686 setups, because we have hardcoded paths that don't work well on them I think
12:25 huginn` tcohen: The operation succeeded.
12:26 tcohen hi Joubu
12:27 magnuse cait: marc21 is supposed to store isbns without hyphens in 020?
12:29 cait magnuse: afaik yes
12:30 cait germany stores the version with hyphens in 020$9
12:30 cait http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd020.html
12:30 cait ...and the embedded hyphens may be generated for display.
12:30 indradg cait: is dashboard.koha-community.org cron updated? if so, any idea of the frequency?
12:31 magnuse cait: ah yes, found it
12:31 cait indradg: it depends on the information - some is done manualle
12:31 cait manually
12:31 indradg ok
12:31 cait which one are you looking for?
12:31 magnuse "The initialism ISBN, the phrase ISBN (invalid), and the embedded hyphens are not carried in the MARC record. They may be system generated as display constants associated with the content of subfields $a and $z, respectively." http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd020.html

12:46 magnuse weird. the source of http://perldoc.koha-community.[…]lkmarcimport.html says it was updated on "Mon May 11 05:16:36 2015 GMT" but it is missing the -cleanisbn/-nocleanisbn options which were added in 2011
12:49 cait hm maybe formatting ?
12:49 slef hi all
12:50 cait about my earlier question- found some jquery - now have to find out why something no longer shows on the braille line... any poiters appreciated
12:50 cait visibly the page looks the same :(
12:50 cait hi slef
12:51 slef magnuse: I can't even see an update date, let alone which branch it was produced from
12:52 slef ah, there's an update date in a html source comment
12:52 slef but no commit info?
12:52 magnuse it should be master
12:52 magnuse older versions would have urls like http://perldoc.koha-community.[…]lkmarcimport.html
12:53 magnuse ping gmcharlt?
12:53 magnuse the wiki says it is run by equinox
12:53 slef probably best next move
12:54 slef ok, here's my puzzle: has anyone seen the intranet layout suddenly go strange on MSIE? (I know MSIE is discouraged but government sites bleaaaah)
12:54 slef the homepage boxes suddenly won't line up
12:55 cait slef: i didn't get any repots so far - we have one libararian that has to use ie because of her screen reader and other tools
12:56 cait slef: cache was deleted properly?
12:56 cait because it DOES looks strange aftr an upgrade if you don't
12:57 slef cache was deleted properly, no upgrade at trigger time
12:57 slef I suspect a screen reader wouldn't be too affected by display problems
12:57 cait what does look strange?
12:57 cait no, but i got a report of things not showing on braille line that i have to figure out
12:58 magnuse slef: yeah, i have seen something like that
12:59 magnuse i have a customer where i can only access things through some screensharing tech via a windoze machine, and there the admin frontpage looks like someone bumped into the otherwise nicely stacked boxes
13:00 magnuse ...in ie 11, i think it was?
13:00 alex_a joined #koha

13:35 Talia Hi everyone, we are using koha for quite some time now, but I still didnt find a way on customizing the index site.. It says important links here.. and i have no clue where to edit those texts.. I have only found this in the manual: http://manual.koha-community.o[…]4/en/impopac.html, but I dont know where to change the contents of those regions.. Would someone please be so kind and explained?
13:40 nengard Hi Talia

14:05 nengard got any jquery experts in this morning - this should be easy - but I think becuase it's a bar character it's fighting with me
14:17 tcohen nengard: any news from gmcharlt ?
14:17 nengard nope
14:18 nengard any juqery experts around to help with my above paste?
14:18 nengard or jquery
14:20 cait nengard: try escaping the | with \

14:22 nengard cait++
14:23 nengard thank you - i knew that - i should have done that - but it's monday morning ;)
14:23 cait i recently had a similar thing
14:23 cait took me forever to figure out :)
14:24 nengard :)
14:27 slef Hrm, the troublesome MSIE might be 9 or perhaps even 7. If 7, I can tell them to upgrade because a colleague of theirs uses 9 so it must be allowed.
14:27 slef I hate MSIE.
14:27 nengard we wont' support it ...
14:33 nengard that's a solution :)

14:52 indradg nengard: you use oxygen for doing the docbook to html conversion?
14:52 nengard no, I use oxygen to write the docbook. bernardo has some magic script for the docbook to html and docbook to pdf part of things
14:53 nengard the script runs nightly on the docbook to convert it and update the html
14:54 indradg ok!
14:54 nengard :)
14:55 indradg the generator tag in the html files seemed to suggest standard docbook-xsl chunking

19:40 tcohen nengard: done
19:40 tcohen i suppose we don't need to test other languages on master?
19:44 nengard awesome
19:44 nengard and I don't know ...
19:44 nengard so tcohen will this page be updated? http://jenkins.koha-community.org/
19:44 nengard I still don't see a 3.18 branch
19:45 tcohen nengard: not sure where are you looking
19:45 tcohen i'm looking at Koha_Docs
19:45 nengard and below that there is koha_docs for each branch
19:45 tcohen which follows 'master' from the kohadocs.git repo
19:46 nengard Koha_Docs
19:46 nengard Koha_Docs_3.10.x
19:46 nengard Koha_Docs_3.12.x
19:46 nengard Koha_Docs_3.14.x
19:46 nengard Koha_Docs_3.16.x
19:46 tcohen ah, I see
19:46 nengard Koha_Docs_3.8.x
19:46 nengard no 3.18.x
19:46 tcohen i was fixing Koha_Docs (the one failing, which is the only problem i knew about :-D)
19:46 nengard oh okay
19:46 nengard I think my email a while ago mentioned that 3.18 wasn't being tracked
19:46 tcohen so u also expect a task to be testing 3.18 too?
19:47 nengard but that was to the koha list
19:47 nengard I would think so - the only two i maintain are master and one release back
19:47 tcohen ok, and only run xmllint on them, right?
19:47 nengard I'm not sure what that is ...
19:47 nengard All i know is that one day the manual was added to jenkins and i started getting emails :)
19:50 tcohen nengard: ok, the guys added some initial testing on the manual.xml file
19:50 tcohen at some point we could do more interesting stuff
19:50 tcohen for now it is just a sanity check
19:51 nengard Sounds good to me
19:51 nengard Thanks
19:52 magnuse joined #koha
