03:02 sjamso How do I change default username and password for koha. I installed koha but I am not able to login. I did chage the password in koha-conf.xml file though
03:04 Oak I think you were supposed to log in using that username password in the xml file, and then create a new user in Koha, then grant that user super librarian access.
03:06 wizzyrea ^
03:06 sjamso I tried that also but I was not able to login. So I change the password in the file and tried but still no luck
03:06 wizzyrea how can you not login?
03:06 wizzyrea do you see the login box?
03:07 sjamso ya.. I see that but cannot loogin with the username and password
03:07 wizzyrea and you are using user koha_instance
03:07 wizzyrea and the password in the koha-conf file?
03:07 sjamso ya
03:07 wizzyrea and you only have the one instance?
03:08 sjamso I am using username and password in koha-conf.xml file
03:08 sjamso ya.. I got only one instance
03:10 Oak does is give an error message?
03:10 wizzyrea that really ought to work, there isn't a reason that it wouldn't
03:10 Oak yup
03:10 sjamso I tried with koha_myinstancename with the password in koha-conf.xml file.. Still not working
03:10 Oak Hello wizzyrea !
03:10 wizzyrea hi Oak :)
03:10 Oak :)
03:11 sjamso It does not give any errors too.
03:11 wizzyrea that sounds like the installer.
03:11 sjamso username and password filed getting blank
03:11 wizzyrea have you already installed Koha?
03:11 wizzyrea through the web installer?
03:12 wizzyrea I'm sorry I have to run away now.
03:15 sjamso Actualling I am suppose to install through web installer. That didnt work.  The url it shows is http://library.rim.edu.in:8080[…]taller/install.pl
03:27 sjamso koha page says.. Welcome to the Koha web installer. But I am not able to login
03:27 sjamso What is the issue here
03:27 wahanui the issue here is that there are some advanced searches that don't work without query parser, but show up anyway (which strikes me as bad)
03:28 Oak ignore wahanui, it's a bot.

08:15 magnuse on the other hand, i found a norwegian online store that sells those peanut butter chocolates that bag usually brings with him
08:15 magnuse and i can probably rustle up 10-20 types of french cheese in the local shops

08:22 marcelr i would not like to miss europe kohacons

08:27 drojf oh marcelr, you should of course also come to berlin ;)
08:27 marcelr yes it should ;)
08:27 drojf cait is coming. more have not dared to say so yet
08:27 marcelr cait is the closest
08:28 drojf johann is closest. he is doing the catmandu workshop. from berlin state library ;)
08:28 marcelr ok
08:28 drojf and well, i can walk there, it's my office :D
08:29 drojf but compared to the rest of the koha community, you are pretty close too :)
08:29 marcelr :)
08:30 * magnuse is closer to berlin than to marseille
08:30 drojf magnuse won't be able to resist a catmandu workshop at some point
08:30 marcelr hi magnuse
08:30 * drojf lures magnuse

08:35 magnuse hiya marcelr
08:35 magnuse i have been to a catmandu workshop in hamburg (swib) but would probably not mind another one
08:37 drojf damn. norwegians, always one step ahead
08:41 magnuse mohahaha
08:42 drojf :)
08:45 drojf berlin administration not only failed to move on from windows XP in time, they also have an estimate of 26000 computers with unsupported versions of IE as of today. berlin is awesome.
08:46 magnuse woohoo
08:47 magnuse my wife is also on xp at her work
08:47 wahanui okay, magnuse.

10:07 kivilahtio wow I notice we have a MARC::Moose::Record module in cpan
10:07 kivilahtio when is Koha migrating to that?
10:25 * magnuse waves to petter and kivilahtio
10:25 kivilahtio long time no wave magnuse
10:31 petter hei magnus!
10:32 magnuse yeah, time flies
10:32 petter hey olli! Longest time!
10:36 kivilahtio petter: possibly
10:36 kivilahtio petter: we are cooking a lot of stuff!
10:36 kivilahtio petter: we totally overhauled our Swagger2-driven Mojolicious REST API
10:36 kivilahtio we made a suggested pattern for organizing the Swagger2-spec
10:37 kivilahtio petter: https://renki.vaarakirjastot.fi/api/v1/doc/#/
10:37 kivilahtio it'' cool!
10:37 drojf have a nice weekend #koha
10:39 kivilahtio petter: the spec is here
10:39 wahanui i already had it that way, kivilahtio.
10:39 kivilahtio https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]_bug.cgi?id=15126
10:39 huginn Bug 15126: enhancement, P5 - low, ---, julian.maurice, Needs Signoff , REST API: Use newer version of Swagger2
10:40 kivilahtio petter: are you coming to KohaCon?
10:41 kivilahtio I am not so sure
10:41 kivilahtio Extracting marc-fields to specific database columns took 6-7 times longer using Koha::Object than DBI
10:42 kivilahtio for the shole database of 1.6 million bibs
10:42 kivilahtio I have a Koha burnout
10:42 kivilahtio I hope there is something wrong with our Koha::object configuration :)
10:42 kivilahtio petter: but you are builidng cool stuff, like we
10:43 kivilahtio petter: http://renki.pohjoiskarjala.ne[…]-label-editor.mp4
10:43 kivilahtio petter: how are you doing?
10:53 Joubu kivilahtio: Koha::Objects or DBIx::Class? ...
10:54 kivilahtio Joubu: Koha::Object
10:54 wahanui i think Koha::Object is way underdocumented, you should explain its purpose and how it should be used in the perldoc, otherwise no one else can meaningfully use it.
10:54 kivilahtio wahanui: I dont think anoybody really know
10:54 wahanui kivilahtio: i'm not following you...
10:55 Joubu really know what?
10:56 Joubu kivilahtio: so you have compared Koha::Object vs DBIx::Class vs DBI
10:56 kivilahtio Joubu: Koha::Object vs DBI
10:56 kivilahtio Joubu: I am pushing new code to our GutHub today
10:56 kivilahtio Joubu: I will tell you which cronjob it is
10:56 Joubu ok so it makes sense...
10:56 Joubu DBIx::Class > DBI it's expected
10:56 kivilahtio Joubu: you can super easily just choose from the script if you want to run in Koha:Object or DBI mode
10:57 kivilahtio Joubu: and drive NYTProf on them
10:57 Joubu submit on bugzilla instead
10:57 kivilahtio Joubu: nope
10:57 kivilahtio Joubu: too much work to exract the feature, it wont merge to master anyway
10:58 kivilahtio you can clone our KohaSuomi repo if you want :)
10:58 kivilahtio Joubu: get amazed by our REST API and PageObject tests ;)
10:58 Joubu I am tracking origin/master, nothing else
10:58 kivilahtio Joubu: too bad
10:58 kivilahtio Joubu: but it is good for you

11:08 petter olli: sorry, got stuck in discussion, brb
11:10 kivilahtio petter: its ok, I am taking care of a baby :)
11:10 kivilahtio Joubu: I just cant help but wonder what happens to all the batch operations in Koha when everything is under Koha::Object
11:11 kivilahtio Koha::Object might get a speedup then
11:11 kivilahtio the internals can be replaced with DBI :)

13:09 cait hi oleonard :)
13:09 cait i had a question for you
13:09 paul_p joined #koha
13:10 cait we have librareis with only one branch requesting that we hide one of the library columns in the staff item table... but i failed to do that. now the next asked for it... do you have a moment?
13:11 oleonard Sure
13:13 kidclamp joined #koha
13:14 cait sec, tryin got see what i tried last time
13:16 NateC joined #koha
13:17 cait ok, they want to hide current location - because location shows under home library
13:21 cait struggling a bit because my firebug stopped working
13:21 oleonard Which page?
13:21 wahanui Which page is wrong?
13:21 cait detail page in staff for a record with items
13:23 cait $(".items_table td:eq(1)").hide(); seems to hide half of it, but the same for th doesn't work?
13:25 cait hm and once you activate the filters it gets a bit messy
13:26 cait wahanui: forget which page
13:26 wahanui cait: I forgot which page
13:28 oleonard I think its a conflict with the table structure which is generated by DataTables
13:29 cait yeah it hink it's the datatable making it hard
13:29 cait it would b really nice to have the new columns config for th items table
13:29 cait but probably hard
13:30 cait a lot of the columns are optional
13:33 kidclamp cait: this may help - http://bywatersolutions.com/20[…]-checkouts-table/
13:33 cait kidclamp: wow
13:34 tcohen joined #koha
13:34 cait thx, i will tkae a look at that!
13:34 cait the problem is, that we have no identifieres
13:35 cait and with activate filters... it's adds another first column
13:35 cait ... headache :)
13:35 tcohen morning!
13:35 oleonard Hi tcohen
13:36 tcohen hi oleonard
13:36 edveal joined #koha
13:36 LibraryClaire hi tcohen
13:36 * cait waves
13:36 kidclamp cait: yeah, it can be super annoying, we used css to help hide the checkin column on the issues table, that might mork, you just have to point to the right column number
13:36 tcohen hi cait :-D
13:36 kidclamp #issues-table thead th:nth-child(12), #issues-table tbody td:nth-child(12) {
13:36 kidclamp display: none;
13:36 kidclamp }
13:36 tcohen khall: around?
13:37 kidclamp I don't like counting columns, but what can you do
13:38 cait write a patch to give ids to everything? ;)
13:38 Dyrcona joined #koha
13:39 tcohen cait++ # volunteering
13:39 oleonard The more we load JS on top of things the more difficult it is for the end-user to customize.
13:39 cait if i had the time i would id all the things :)
13:39 cait kidclamp: maybe something for hackfest :)
13:40 kidclamp oleonard:yeah sometimes I wish there were two userjs prefs: one before the koha scripts so you can stop or override them if you want, and one after so you can build on them
13:40 cait trying to adapt your sample, unsuccessful so far... will continue
13:40 kidclamp good idea cait, it's a nice intro patch just adding ids
13:44 cait growls
13:44 cait not there yet.
13:48 cait hm not getting this to work
13:50 tcohen1 joined #koha
13:51 nengard joined #koha
13:51 kidclamp trying to hide 'Current location' cait?
13:51 cait yes
13:52 cait I thin i will declare it too error-prone - worried this is going to break with updates etc because we can't address the columns
13:54 kidclamp yeah, that's a bugger
13:54 cait and have the extra features
13:54 cait like the filters
13:55 oleonard Tell them they have to shell out money for column configuration on that page :P
13:55 cait hehe
13:55 cait a ood thought, but i have my doubts
13:56 oleonard Pretty soon all tables in Koha will look like this: http://blog.codinghorror.com/c[…]6d6311970b-pi.png
13:56 * cait nos has to find "Tu" in the po files... wish me luck
13:57 cait heh
14:00 cait we managed for the secnd time to get the week days wrong int the calendar widget :)
14:00 cait 2 thursdays... in german now :)
14:10 oleonard So... It's not Friday in Germany, it's Thursday again? Bummer.
14:13 cait nah thursday was yesterday

14:53 tcohen hi mtompset
14:54 mtompset Do you have a little time to discuss filters, hashes, and bug 11592?
14:54 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=11592 major, P3, ---, mtompset, In Discussion , opac detail scripts do not respect MARC tag visibility
14:54 tcohen shoot
14:54 tcohen (i don't, but lets try :-D)
14:55 mtompset Okay, if you look at the first splinter review on the bug and click over the opac-detail.pl
14:55 rocio joined #koha
14:56 mtompset I get that you want to use filters... I think I might have something for the GetMarcBiblio call at the top.
14:56 mtompset The issue is that the $dat is a hash of the database tables.
14:56 mtompset It isn't MARC at all.
14:56 mtompset How do you recommend filtering that?
14:56 mtompset Keep the ShouldHideMarc function?
14:57 tcohen i'd recommend that you focus on the filter, for MARC::Record objects
14:57 tcohen once it works, we'll figure how to best integrate it on the pipe
14:57 tcohen but we need the filter pushed first
14:59 mtompset because the problem is the UI uses those template variable to display values which should be filtered, but aren't, because the $dat isn't the same kind of thing.
14:59 mtompset And that will be confusing for a tester.
15:01 mtompset I'm thinking the opac/opac-detail template needs a serious refactor to clean it up.

15:06 oleonard I'm doing well francharb, thanks
15:06 francharb :)
15:07 Brooke No but they have a suspicious .js 22meg package ;)
15:08 oleonard francharb: if you came to #koha curious to see how we're doing without, the answer is terrible.
15:08 oleonard Without you, that is.
15:08 francharb :)
15:08 oleonard Same for you druthb
15:09 druthb Aw!
15:10 oleonard I just feel like if maybe francharb and druthb were still around I would be able to tag a book in the OPAC with an emoji of a pile of poo and it would work.
15:10 francharb Now I feel bad connecting just to ask my question
15:10 francharb ahah
15:10 francharb lol
15:10 Brooke as long as you felt guilty of your own initiative, you'll keep contributing to project ;P
15:11 druthb see, oleonard, you may be right.  I'm all about adding Unicode compliance *everywhere*.
15:11 francharb that's what druthb and me make you think about, an emoji of a pile of poo? oleonard
15:11 francharb ;)
15:11 oleonard francharb: No, I'm just obsessed with Bug 15794
15:11 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=15794 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, oleonard, NEW , Allow the use of emojis as tags on records
15:12 mtompset druthb: Thanks for the reminder. I want to test if I could set my password to 💩💩💩
15:12 mtompset For testing unicode compliance, of course. :)
15:13 Brooke hehehe
15:13 Brooke if you wanna test unicode compliance I could try and fish up some tasty filthy CKJ data for you
15:13 Brooke and I mean FILTHY
15:14 mtompset No, it's okay.
15:14 Brooke thought you'd see the light :P
15:15 mtompset Strangely, it let me set it, though it displays it as 6 characters instead of 3 when entering it.
15:16 * Brooke misses her super sekrit boyfriend Beau
15:17 francharb emojs as tags! sounds fun!!
15:18 francharb I realised lately that 'J' was the windows emoji for :)
15:18 Brooke 🐈
15:18 francharb I was reading emails and keep asking myself, why is there J everywhere
15:19 mtompset Brooke: You triggered a musical flashback. :) https://youtu.be/xtolv9kM1qk

15:23 cait hm i sometimes refer to this, but not sure how well it covers the topic http://bywatersolutions.com/20[…]elevance-in-koha/
15:23 francharb I read this too
15:24 francharb but the thing is, on my installations, records are always ordered by biblionumber when I order by relevance
15:24 francharb I enable the queryweighfield syspref
15:25 cait marc21?
15:25 wahanui i guess marc21 is at http://www.loc.gov/marc/biblio[…]hic/ecbdlist.html , http://www.loc.gov/marc/authority/ecadlist.html
15:25 francharb I checked the rank option in the zebra configuration file
15:25 francharb yes cait

15:25 cait hm
15:25 cait i think some of the prefs don't work well
15:25 cait try to turn off autotruncate
15:28 cait hm and also stemming
15:28 francharb cait, you nailed it! It was autotruncate
15:28 francharb I tried the other one (stemming, etc)

15:29 cait i ran into the same.... and just discovered the library turned it back on *sigh*
15:29 Brooke Cait is always right, never wrong.
15:30 cait that would amke me really scary... thankfully it#s totally not true
15:30 Brooke I suspect a close shared common ancestor with Galen. >.> <.<
15:32 oleonard Brooke: She can't be *that* closely related to gmcharlt, she doesn't have any cats.
15:32 gmcharlt :)
15:39 cait oleonard: but i like cats ):

15:39 cait but as single person with a small apartment that's not really an option at the moment :)
15:41 * druthb agrees with Brooke--cait is always right.  :)
15:41 cait hmpf

15:50 francharb Let's make a FAQ called "Cait"
15:50 francharb ;)
15:50 francharb Then we could say for any question, have you checked Cait?
15:50 francharb ;)

16:17 mtompset francharb: Sorry, I was looking in another window. Your play on words was just fine. :)
16:18 medo hi all - i'm looking for some guidance on server specs for koha. the only thing i've seen so far is the requirements on the download page https://koha-community.org/download-koha/
16:18 medo i'm setting up a vm to try it out on, and not sure how much to allocate
16:18 mtompset medo: allocate what? disk space? memory?
16:19 mtompset How big is your test data?
16:19 mtompset Are you going to be lazy and call it production after you finish doing this? :)
16:19 mtompset Because more is always good. :)
16:20 medo haha no, definitely not production
16:20 medo but i would like to eventually test it with our full collection, 650k bibs, 2M items. maybe a few hundred clients
16:20 mtompset Okay, for tinkering around you can probably get away with 32GB (it's a nice round number) drive, and at least 1GB RAM.
16:20 mtompset Oh, testing THAT size....
16:21 medo but yes, i don't know much about setting up the vm, so i'm looking for some good numbers to give our sysadmin
16:21 JoshB_ joined #koha
16:21 medo eventually. i'd probably start much smaller, but i'd rather only set it up once
16:21 mtompset 256GB drive space (I'm totally guessing at this), 4GB Ram.
16:23 mtompset Though, like I said more is always good.
16:25 medo thanks. i'm curious as to what other people are using - is there anything published on server specs for library/collection size?
16:28 mtompset A base install, you get 5GB drive... 2M items @ 1K each = 2GB * 6 (because Zebra is a pig, and mysql [3[zeb]+2[mysql]+1[data itself]]) = 12GB. -- Okay, what about circulation numbers?
16:28 mtompset Because lots of circulation needs more drive space.
16:30 mtompset But I've seen item entries a lot longer than 1K.
16:31 mtompset You might be able to get your 2M on a 64GB.... but I'd be worried about running out of diskspace for circulation.
16:32 Joubu bag, khall: do you have a push session planned soon?
16:32 medo circ done on the test? probably not much. if i can import with the history, maybe 1.5M circs a year
16:32 bag yes Joubu
16:33 medo maybe 400k borrowers
16:33 mtompset Wow.
16:33 Joubu bag: ok great to hear that :)

18:54 zsolt If somebody searching in a koha library (not mine) to get results from my koha library too?

19:40 mtompset instead of $@ (for example)
19:40 mtompset $EVAL_ERROR
19:40 mtompset if there is a use English;

21:49 cait kidclamp: hm it's not dead
21:49 cait kidclamp: and should not be broken...
21:50 cait you usually need at least one fitting barcode for it to work in your database
21:50 cait catalog the first item manually and then if it does not work... it's broken :)
21:58 tcohen hm, barcode generators are good candidates for the plugin system
22:03 kidclamp it's broken cait
22:04 cait hmm
22:04 kidclamp at least for annual, the sql to get the max does a MAX and a GROUP BY and unpairs the correct values
22:04 kidclamp same for hbyymmdd
22:04 cait hm weird
22:04 cait there are tests for the module i think
22:05 cait tests seem ok still perl t/db_dependent/Barcodes.t
22:05 cait is it only broken in acq or also in cataloguing?
22:07 kidclamp looks like the tests don't actually write to the db
22:07 cait we have broken them a couple of times already
22:07 cait and fixed
22:08 cait if you look at bugzilla
22:08 cait pretty annoying
22:08 kidclamp I don't think anything actually uses them, the plugins use ValueBuilder.pm
22:08 kidclamp which says it should use Barcodes.pm
22:08 kidclamp it's only when you have more then one matchign value in the db that they are broken
22:09 kidclamp you can see the queries in ValueBuilder.pm and Barcodes::annual.pm don't match
22:09 cait hm there is a C4:Barcodes in additem.pl
22:09 kidclamp but it doesn't use next_value, it has it's own increment function
22:10 cait it doesn't seem to show up in context of Seirals or acq
22:10 kidclamp and it does it's ownfetch to find the highest value or it only builds off of what is passed
22:11 cait i think i can't follow - it's a bit too late here
22:12 kidclamp me too, I lost far too mich time debugging my code before figuringout (or convincing myself) that the Barcodes module is the problem
22:12 kidclamp :-)
22:13 cait maybe try with fresh eyes on monday?

22:20 * pianohacker_DND wishes that MARC fields couldn't contain a-z
22:23 pianohacker_DND s/field/tag numbers/
22:26 mtompset MARC fields can contain letters?
22:26 mtompset I thought only subfields could do that.
22:26 mtompset Are you sure, pianohacker_DND?
22:27 pianohacker_DND mtompset, yes, unfortunately.
22:27 pianohacker_DND It's really rare, but there is 01e
22:27 pianohacker_DND and given that it's MARC, I didn't feell safe not supporting that in RAncor
22:28 mtompset What?!
22:28 pianohacker_DND marc--
22:29 mtompset 01e?! Where's the definition?
22:29 pianohacker_DND it's in the framework, at least
22:29 pianohacker_DND @marc 01e
22:29 huginn pianohacker_DND: unknown tag 01e
22:30 mtompset I think this might be a MARCXML extension.
22:32 pianohacker_DND entirely possible
22:32 pianohacker_DND but ISO 2709 is, as far as I know, the only thing that limits valid tag/subfield codes, and it just says alphanumeric

22:36 mtompset "This schema supports XML markup of MARC21 records as specified in the MARC documentation (see www.loc.gov). It allows tags with alphabetics and subfield codes that are symbols, neither of which are as yet used in the MARC 21 communications formats, but are allowed by MARC 21 for local data."
22:40 pianohacker_DND ...symbols?
22:41 cait yes

22:43 mtompset I wonder if $💩 is valid. ;)
22:43 pianohacker_DND You put that in Rancor, you get undefined behavior
22:44 pianohacker_DND undefined behavior may include but is not limited to a hand reaching out of the screen and flicking you on the nose
22:44 cait i think it depends on the docs you read
22:44 cait i just found one that says lowercase alphabetic and numeric
22:44 mtompset cait: probably true.

22:48 pianohacker_DND waaaaait
22:48 cait Data element identifiers defined in MARC 21 may be any ASCII lowercase alphabetic or numeric character. In general, numeric identifiers are defined for data used to process the field, or coded data needed to interpret the field. Alphabetic identifiers are defined for the separate elements which constitute the data content of the field. The character 9 and the following ASCII graphic symbols are reserved for local definition as data element identifi
