01:08 mtompset YAY! I'm closer to getting a CAS server set up.
01:08 mtompset Anyone have experience with this?
01:36 geek_cl mtompset, any issue?
01:43 JoshB joined #koha
01:45 mtompset Well, i seem to have the apache mod auth_cas redirecting for authentication, but there's nothing trying to authenticate.
01:46 mtompset No user name and password prompts.. just a complaint about cas/login not existing.
01:47 mtompset which makes sense, because there is no such directory as far as i know.
01:49 geek_cl mtompset, can you enable DEBUG for the apache and the process?
01:52 mtompset enable how again?
01:52 JoshB joined #koha
01:52 mtompset And I don't think that is the problem.
01:53 geek_cl yeah, but logs can says to you something
01:54 mtompset I'm giving up until someone has a "follow these instructions" URL link that works gauranteed. :)
01:55 geek_cl https://wiki.jasig.org/display[…]y+CAS+Walkthrough
02:23 eythian yay, PDF::FromHTML builds on wheezy!
02:36 mtompset Thanks, geek_cl. That may be helpful, when I get time to look at it further.
03:06 mtj hey #koha
03:07 Cambodia_Librar joined #koha
03:07 mtj geek_cl: thats a nice CAS link ^
03:07 geek_cl yeah  ;)
03:08 mtj ive been curious about CAS + Koha for ages
03:08 Cambodia_Librar hello
03:08 Cambodia_Librar can you help me
03:09 Cambodia_Librar ?
03:09 eythian ask?
03:09 wahanui Don't ask to ask, just ask.
03:10 mtj Cambodia_Librar: short answer is yes :)
03:10 mtj longer answer is... maybe? :p
03:11 mtj what is your question Cambodia_Librar?
03:13 eythian @later tell tcohen libpdf-fromhtml-perl is finally in the repo.
03:13 huginn eythian: The operation succeeded.
03:15 Cambodia_Librar how to create Shelving location
03:15 Cambodia_Librar ?
03:16 eythian if you add an authorised value with the code LOC, it is the shelving location.
03:17 Cambodia_Librar ok
03:19 mtj congrats on the  libpdf-fromhtml-perl build eythian
03:20 eythian hopefully it's accepted into debian proper so it mostly stops being my problem :)
03:20 eythian (it should be, it has had a fair bit of cleaning up.)

04:10 mtj nice, its an interesting process huh  :)
04:14 eythian https://anonscm.debian.org/cgi[…]tml-perl.git/log/ <-- quite a few patches needed.
04:19 mtompset Have a great day, #koha.
04:22 mtj nice, i havent seen that alioth cgit before
04:24 mtj very impressive eythian :)
04:28 khall joined #koha
04:47 eythian @later tell tcohen can you please add the patch from bug 14321 to 3.20.x
04:47 huginn eythian: The operation succeeded.
04:48 khall joined #koha
05:07 eythian @later tell tcohen I'd also really like to get bug 14106 fixed before 3.20 gets released. Which means I need to write it first.
05:07 huginn eythian: The operation succeeded.

07:08 magnuse you win - again!
07:08 indradg heh
07:09 magnuse ooh, just above the comfort level for humidity?
07:09 Viktor Hi magnuse cait and all :)
07:09 indradg magnuse: wait for the winter, then you would be beating me hands down
07:09 magnuse btw, we did have 30C last summer :-)
07:09 indradg hi Viktor
07:09 indradg magnuse: the humidity is actually not so bad right now... bad is when it goes past mid 70s
07:10 * cait waves
07:10 indradg hi cait
07:12 magnuse indradg: noted :-)
07:12 magnuse oops, i lied. the warmest we had last year was 29.1C
07:13 Viktor We'll be working on some patches for making the news more of a "blog".
07:13 magnuse yay
07:13 Viktor But what about making the Opac more of a CMS?
07:13 Viktor I know indradg worked a bit on those things(?)
07:13 magnuse probably depends on what you mean by that :-)
07:14 Viktor I'd like to extend "Koha as CMS"-functionality to automatically create navigation.
07:14 Jul joined #koha
07:14 fridolin hie
07:14 indradg Viktor: I'm not sure whether to maintain the plugin or merge and extend it as a regular function on Koha
07:15 Viktor And also a better system than sysprefs for integrating HTML on the sidebars. Perhaps some widget system? Or at least integrating TinyMCE there as well(?)
07:15 magnuse yeah, i have been thinking about a new type of syspref for the html fields, that could use tinymce when you edit them
07:15 Viktor Indradg: I'd like to have that as a regular out of the box function. Libraries over here often use that kind of functionality.
07:16 magnuse should not be a ton of work, i think
07:16 indradg it is not
07:17 Viktor Then perhaps I should write an RFC to outline what we would want and then we discuss the whole picture at one?
07:17 indradg Viktor: go ahead
07:17 Viktor indradg :)
07:18 magnuse Viktor: that's the way to do it :-)
07:18 Viktor We have the resources to get it done I think but I feel it needs to be synced with the communtiy so we dont break anyones workflow.
07:18 indradg Viktor++
07:18 p_vdk joined #koha
07:19 Viktor I'll also make an RFC for version handling of records and granular permissions for what sources can edit what fields in records. That one feels a bit more like a potential can of worms :)
07:20 indradg I can spend some time on the CMS. but not unless there is some sort of agreement on what we want and that doing so won't break up existing workflow
07:20 p_vdk left #koha
07:20 Viktor indradg++
07:22 Viktor Then a RCF sounds like a very good idea. I can allocate resources to this as well (and the first patches needed for showing author of news might show up today). But as you say we need to know people will not cry out in horror.
07:24 indradg :)
07:51 paul_p joined #koha
07:54 AmitG heya indradg
07:55 indradg Hi AmitG
08:00 cait Viktor: I amnot so much in favor of sysprefs - because it's only one language if you are not using tricks
08:00 cait at least our current system preferences make things a little hard, it's easy to add a bit of javascript to get the effect
08:04 magnuse yeah, a more mature blog/cms thing should not store pages as sysprefs
08:04 magnuse create a new table for that
08:13 cait yeah

08:30 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=14234 new feature, P5 - low, ---, indradg, NEW , Include the user manual with Koha package
08:31 indradg mveron, magnuse, Viktor, cait ^^^^ please do comment, this is partly linked to nengard's bug 11115
08:31 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=11115 new feature, P5 - low, ---, indradg, NEW , Pull help files from the manual
08:34 Viktor indradg: From a user standpoint I would find that higly useful.
08:34 Viktor From a technical standpoint I don't see any problems. Which might mean I fail to see something important :)
08:34 indradg :)
08:35 wicope joined #koha
08:36 mveron I like the idea to have a local copy of the manual. The help could then have 2 links, one to the local copy and one to the online manual
08:42 xarragon mveron: Having a local copy also means that the user would also automatically be using the right version of the documentation, an important benefit.
08:42 xarragon mveron: Although that depends on how much difference there is between versions.
08:44 mveron xarragon: ...and the most recent copy could be distributed with the updates
08:44 magnuse sounds good to me (without giving it too much thought)
08:46 magnuse phew, paperwork for march and april done, now i just need to get it to the accountant

09:23 drojf is build-git-snapshot supposed to write into debian/changelog? i set the version to master+patchnumber, it did not like it (has to start with a number) and got stuck because it had the 'master+number' thing in debian/changelog and that made all following attempts to build a package (with correct number) fail, arguing 3.19~something was a smaller number than master~something

11:34 magnuse stall?
11:35 xarragon Laptop stand?
11:35 ashimema seat
11:36 ashimema a tall bar stall type seat.. I have a standing desk and usually stand..
11:36 ashimema but a tall stall for occasional perching when the legs are tired ;)
11:36 xarragon I broke off the back rest on my office chair once, by mistake. That was fun!
11:37 xarragon While I was sitting in it. Apparently a manufacturing defect.
11:37 ashimema yikes.. that does sound fun
11:37 ashimema I imagine it has a simlar effect to my stall collapsing.. you ending up in a heap on the floor ;)
11:38 xarragon Could have ended badly, but my clumsiness is usually compensated by dumb luck. :-)
11:38 xarragon There was a sharp metal edge left efter the single flat bar snapped off, it was aiming for my butt and/or lower back, but missed.

13:53 edveal Has anyone set Firefox to store you Koha usr/pwd? I just noticed if you do then your usr/pwd auto populates the usr/pwd fields when you are adding a new patron.
13:53 edveal I am going to report this as a minor bug but thought I would see if anyone else has seen this first.

14:26 fridolin its a "side effect" i would say

15:14 willem7684 Hi there, I'm having trouble with Firefox being unable to open documents listed in field 856 (electronic doc links). IE did this perfectly with file:// etc. Firefox doesn't support that, but works fine if I just type the \\myserver\var\andsoandso in the address line. When I put this into field 856 however, koha adds http:// in front and it doesn't work any more. Is it possible to tell koha NOT to add http:// ? If this involves changing koha script I'll

15:38 drojf willem7684: actually, file:/// works fine for me in firefox
15:56 willem7684 joined #koha
15:57 willem7684 drojf: yes, i've now found that FF is fine with file:///\\myserver\and\so\on but koha converts all the backslashes \ to slashes/ and FF gets stuck. Any ideas?
15:58 drojf willem7684: don't use backslashes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/[…]cheme#Legacy_URLs
15:59 willem7684 drojf: the backslashes are for the local file system from which I try to open a doc in the browser. this works fine for IE
15:59 drojf firefox should be fine with file:///yourserver/path/file
16:00 drojf koha is based on standards. IE is based on… i have no idea what it is based on :D
16:00 willem7684 joined #koha
16:06 willem7684 drojf: FF works for me with file:///c:text.txt but not with file:///myserver/more over the network
16:08 drojf willem7684: i think it's file://server/path with two slashes, if its on another computer. and three slashes locally
16:11 drojf anyway i have never tried anything like this in koha. i'd make it available via http
16:13 willem7684 drojf: I've got it. 5 slashes in file://///myserver/etc indeed with all slashes. Many thanks. BTW this is about docs that should not be available for all on http. We only access these docs through our own network, but after a koha search, so that's why the koha links need to work. Thanks again!
16:15 drojf you can use http in a local network too :) 5 slashes looks funny, but as long as it works ;)
16:16 indradg joined #koha
16:20 willem7684 drofj: been too optimistic. The link file://///myserver/and/so works when entered directly into FF but not as koha link, although the link now correctly shows below the page when hovering over the link with the mouse...

19:02 nengard guess they'll bein 3.20.1

19:20 JesseM we all have many aliases

23:16 cait normalizing
23:17 cait for release notes
23:18 eythian ah, fair enough
23:19 * eythian looks at cait's spelling
23:19 * eythian shakes head sadly
23:19 cait blame the mix of teachers i had :)
23:19 cait normalising?
23:19 eythian that's better
23:20 * wizzyrea pats cait gently
23:20 dcook joined #koha
23:21 cait and my handwritten z are prettier than the s...
23:21 wizzyrea and there isn't a good rule for the substitution.
23:21 wizzyrea canada: keeps the z's, adds the U's. What?
23:22 wizzyrea UK: both. US: neither AU: variable
23:22 wizzyrea NZ: also variable.
23:22 wizzyrea so no matter what, you're spelling it wrong.
23:23 eythian I think our rule for that is == the UK
23:23 wizzyrea I figure you can't really go wrong with adding both though.
23:23 eythian I don't recall any differences.
23:23 wizzyrea people will still get it.
23:23 wizzyrea well and then there are the variations between individual words, and I personally still don't understand all of the circumstances where a z can be replaced with an s
23:24 eythian you're not replacing a z with an s
23:24 eythian you're just not replacing an s with a z
23:24 wizzyrea :P
23:24 wizzyrea you are the most lovable pedant ever.
23:24 dcook I don't think Oz is that variable?
23:24 rangi theres pretty much no z inside english words
23:24 eythian try that on for size!
23:24 dcook Except maybe zebra
23:25 rangi yeah at the start there are
23:25 wizzyrea and like, my full name :P
23:25 rangi but inside
23:25 ibeardslee just put both the z and the s in there
23:25 dcook But yeah, I think z is a north american thing
23:25 wizzyrea ibeardslee++
23:25 dcook a later addition that is
23:25 dcook Whoops... clicked through an installation prompt? Oh windows..
23:25 rangi cept for words that came from french like rendezvous
23:25 ibeardslee isn't that an english word the french stole?
23:25 rangi and yeah proper nouns
23:25 * dcook swears that half the words in English appear to have come from French and the other half are from German
23:25 wizzyrea so customi...ation?
23:26 rangi s
23:26 ibeardslee s
23:26 dcook s
23:26 wizzyrea organi...ation?
23:26 rangi s
23:26 ibeardslee s
23:26 wizzyrea ^ this one I know
23:26 dcook That is, my autocorrect will use an s :p
23:26 wizzyrea reali...ation?
23:26 rangi s
23:26 ibeardslee s
23:26 eythian dcook: English is a Germanic language, after all.
23:26 eythian antici.......pation?
23:26 wizzyrea lol
23:26 ibeardslee let's just not get into the missing 'u's
23:27 wizzyrea oh please can we?
23:27 * ibeardslee blames australians for that
23:27 ibeardslee the missing ewes
23:27 wizzyrea they're all in nz
23:27 wizzyrea ^.^
23:27 wizzyrea see now you've figured it out
23:28 dcook eythian: When I was studying French, I found a lot of words easy to understand, as they were just "fancy" English words :p
23:28 wizzyrea I usually just follow what autocorrect tells me to do
23:28 eythian dcook: yeah, wars and invasions will do that :)
23:28 eythian dcook: handy hint if you're in the area: the drunker you are, the easier Dutch is to read.
23:29 dcook eythian: Totally. I find it interesting how it was considered "cool" to speak French as an English person back in the day
23:29 dcook Oooh. Good to know!
23:29 eythian apparently many of our French terms mean nothing to French people now.
23:29 dcook Oh yeah?
23:29 dcook Like what?
23:29 eythian I'm trying to think of an example
23:29 dcook I mean... that was definitely the case growing up
23:29 dcook We were taught "soulier" for shoe as kids
23:30 dcook I said that to a French person when I was 18 and they laughed their ass off
23:30 wizzyrea isn't it chausseur?
23:30 wizzyrea for shoe
23:30 dcook Yep
23:31 * dcook didn't learn that until he was 19/20... despite being raised speaking "French"
23:31 eythian I can't think of the example, but I read/watched something about it recently.
23:31 dcook eythian: I'm sure you're right though
23:31 dcook ^not sarcasm
23:31 dcook I'm sure it happens with Icelandic and Norwegian as well?
23:31 eythian most likely
23:33 dcook Wooo! Got Citrix access for a project!
23:34 dcook Turns out it's virtually useless as everything is too locked down. Woo!
23:34 eythian usually if something involves the word "citrix" you know it's going to be a bad time
23:34 wizzyrea cachet would be one of those words I think.
23:34 wizzyrea it means "stamp" in french but something like "prestige" in english
23:35 eythian faux ami
23:35 eythian amis? I forget
23:35 wizzyrea fake friends?
23:35 eythian false friend in english
23:35 wizzyrea it'd be plural
23:35 wizzyrea because of the aux (if I'm remembering right it's been ages.
23:35 wizzyrea )
23:36 papa joined #koha
23:36 eythian two words that are the same/similar but with quite different meanings.
23:37 eythian dier in Dutch == animal for example (and hart == deer, which is coincidentally another.)
23:38 dcook ?
23:38 dcook dier = any animal?
23:38 dcook hart == deer?
23:38 * dcook thinks hart means deer in English too?
23:39 dcook Well, male deer I guess
23:39 wizzyrea it's a variant yeah
23:39 dcook In French, those are called faux amis
23:39 eythian dcook: yeah, dier just means animal.
23:39 eythian <eythian> faux ami
23:39 eythian <eythian> amis? I forget
23:39 eythian :)
23:39 dcook False cognates. There's a fancy way of saying it..
23:40 dcook Ah
23:40 dcook I should've read the scrollback :
23:40 eythian leads to works like dierengarten, too. For zoo.
23:40 dcook :P*
23:40 dcook O_o
23:40 dcook That is cool
23:40 eythian err
23:40 eythian dierentuin
23:40 eythian confused my languages for a moment
23:41 wizzyrea animalgarden, that kind of makes sense for zoo.
23:41 wizzyrea oh, it's not that.
23:41 eythian yeah, tuin means garden
23:41 eythian no, it is literally that
23:41 wizzyrea \o/ winning
23:41 dcook Hmm I think faux is faux both when it's plural and singular
23:42 eythian "zooological garden" if you want to get all upper crust British about it
23:42 dcook I think there are a fair number of words like that, although I can't remember them..
23:42 wizzyrea it's one of those words that does something funny to it's surrounding words, I do remember that (I think(
23:42 dcook Yeah, boo Citrix..
23:42 wizzyrea meh.
23:42 dcook I think someone just needs to tweak a firewall, which makes me think this might be resolved sometime next year
23:43 dcook wizzyrea: Hmm?
23:43 dcook Which word?
23:45 cait left #koha
23:47 dcook If it's faux, it'll make pronunciation differences
