03:33 dcook Don't suppose rangi or gmcharlt are around?
03:33 dcook Or anyone who does their own Debian packages?
03:48 wizzyrea rangi is away today
03:48 dcook cheers wizzyrea :)
03:48 dcook I think I answered my own question in any case
03:48 wizzyrea \o/
03:48 * dcook has been looking at building RPMs for an unrelated project
03:49 dcook I'm so not volunteering as RPM package manager... but I'd like to know more about the decisions made with the Debian packages
03:49 dcook In theory... it might not be too hard to make RPMs... although dependencies would still be hell on non-Debian systems
03:50 dcook Well, Perl dependencies at least
03:50 * dcook isn't volunteering to build RPMs for heaps of Perl packages either :p

04:16 drojf dcook: volunteering as rpm packaging manager? that's awesome!
04:16 dcook :P
05:10 cait joined #koha
05:18 liw dcook, I'm occasionally around Europan daytime, and I might still remember some reasons for my original packaigng decisions for Koha, if that helps
05:19 dcook liw: Thanks :).
05:19 dcook I'm not sure what I have in mind at the moment, as I'm occupied with a different project, but I'll keep that in mind
05:31 * magnuse waves
05:31 dcook hey magnuse
05:32 magnuse dcook: you can go home now :-)
05:33 dcook Nah, it's only 3:33 :p
05:35 ashimema joined #koha
05:38 magnuse dcook: that's when a typical norwegian workday ends :-)
05:39 dcook I have a head cold at the moment, so I wouldn't be opposed to going home... :p

11:46 oleonard Yeah that's the way it looks to me too
11:47 oleonard I need to know when to start threatening to break people's legs if they don't vote my way.
11:48 cait lol
11:48 cait we would vote for your suggestions even witout understanding them
11:54 * cait has done that at least once *hides*
11:56 oleonard Yes, my proposal that every dev should be required to wear a jeweled crown went over well.
11:56 cait oh didn't get one yet!

13:01 blou Hello tcohen!  Hello cait!
13:02 blou Any of you is a LDAP expert  :^)
13:02 cait sorry, not me
13:02 blou Don't be sorry!
13:02 cait we got one library using it, but thankfully I am not the one to set that up :)
13:03 JoshB joined #koha
13:07 blou I'm trying to determine if Koha can specify many "base" in its configuration, or only one.    Professors and student have differnt info...
13:08 cait hm i think currently only one ldap... but there might be patches around for multiple
13:08 cait it#s hard to get ldap patches tested
13:08 blou I'm trying to determine if I purely suck at LDAP and don't know how to do it.  OR Koha config's can't do it.
13:08 cait bug 8993
13:08 huginn` Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8993 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, julian.maurice, Needs Signoff , LDAP authentication improvements: multiple branch and transformation modules
13:12 blou VERY interesting, cait.
13:13 blou Although, it seems pushed, then not, then...  I'm confused.

14:08 khall oleonard: can I get your input on bug 14790? I'm wondering if there is a better icon for the new buttons I've added
14:08 huginn` Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=14790 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, kyle, Needs Signoff , Link to OPAC view from within subscriptions, search and item editor
14:08 oleonard Sure
14:08 khall thanks!
14:14 oleonard khall: I disagree that the toolbar is the correct place for an OPAC view link, because the toolbar is supposed to be for things that you can do /to/ whatever is being viewed (patron, biblio, subscription)
14:15 JesseM joined #koha
14:15 khall oleonard: where should they go? I'm open to suggestions
14:16 oleonard On the subscription detail view we already have a link to the biblio, so it seems logical that we could add another line under that to link to the OPAC
14:16 oleonard In the catalog we already have a link to the OPAC, so the button is not necessary (IMO)
14:17 khall yes, I see now
14:17 khall I'll drop that patch and update the subscription detail one, how about the others?
14:19 oleonard Others look good to me khall
14:19 khall excellent! thanks!
14:19 khall I'll make those changes

15:00 reiveune bye

15:11 gaetan_B bye!
15:15 oleonard Ha ha, 'target="_blank"' is so unreliable! It's almost as if the universe were telling us to cut it out and let the user decide.
15:17 pianohacker joined #koha
15:24 geek_cl joined #koha
15:44 cait oleonard: still interested in uncertain price?
15:44 oleonard Yes
15:44 cait oleonard: you can't close a basket when one of the order lies has set uncertain price
15:44 cait it forces you to resolve that first
15:44 cait you can do so in batch using the uncertain price page
15:44 LibraryClaire joined #koha
15:44 cait but... I don't know a library which is using it, they usually make something up if they are not sure or use 0 - without doing this extra step
15:45 oleonard joined #koha
15:46 oleonard cait: I'm curious, why wouldn't a library use it instead of having an order with a 0 price?
15:46 oleonard Because they'll change it in the item later?
15:47 cait because you can't close the order
15:47 cait an when you can't close it - it never goes to 'ordered' status
15:47 cait and can not be received
15:47 cait and you can always give the real price you paid on receive
15:48 cait so it turns up in your budget and should also go into the item
15:49 cait the probelm really is that it blocks you from closing the basket
15:49 cait why the libraries i talked to are not using it
15:49 cait if it was just a flag that would probably be used
15:50 * cait hopes that made sense
15:51 oleonard Yes, thanks cait
15:52 cait it's acquisitions... *sighs*

17:12 nengard_library hey #koha, i'm visiting a library trying to find the bug report about how you can use __DATE__ or some such to put the date in the marc record
17:13 nengard_library anyone know what bug i'm talking about?
17:15 kidclamp can you give any more context for the bug? is that the whole purpose? or is it part of batch edit?
17:15 khall nengard_chicktech: I'm not finding anything like that in master
17:16 nengard_library the purpose was to have default values in the frameowkr
17:16 nengard_library so you could do name or date or some other field
17:17 nengard_library and it would fill in on all new records for you
17:17 nengard_library the syntax is what i can't remember but it was something like __DATE__ __USER__

21:32 wahanui what's up, tcohen
21:32 tcohen hey wahanui
21:33 CHRIS2 Hello
21:33 CHRIS2 I am here seeking some help
21:33 CHRIS2 anyone available
21:33 tcohen just shoot
21:33 tcohen someone might help
21:34 CHRIS2 I just upgraded to Koha 3.22.07.000
21:34 CHRIS2 I just realized that I am getting 2 errors in the system information area of Koha
21:35 CHRIS2 XML configuration file
21:35 CHRIS2 Warning You are missing the <log4perl_conf> entry in your koha-conf.xml file. Please add it, pointing to the log4perl.conf file for your Koha instance.
21:35 CHRIS2 Warning You are missing the <upload_path> entry in your koha-conf.xml file. Please add it, pointing to the configured file upload directory for your Koha instance.
21:35 CHRIS2 Is there a fix for this.
21:35 tcohen not an automatic one
21:36 tcohen the upgrade scripts currently don't handle that
21:36 tcohen so you get a warning so you fix them
21:36 tcohen what is your instance name?
21:37 tcohen you can check it by running $ sudo koha-list
21:38 CHRIS2 the output of that command is library
21:38 tcohen so
21:38 tcohen you should edit your /etc/koha/sites/library/koha-conf.xml file
21:39 CHRIS2 one sec let me bring that up
21:40 CHRIS2 its up
21:40 CHRIS2 any particular line or area I should look for.
21:40 tcohen does it mean you opened the file for editing?
21:40 CHRIS2 yes
21:40 tcohen ok, at the bottom
21:40 wahanui at the bottom are the user name and password for Koha.
21:40 tcohen search for upload_path
21:41 wahanui joined #koha
21:41 tcohen ah, you won't have it
21:41 tcohen hehe
21:41 CHRIS2 yeh

21:42 tcohen no enable_plugins either?

21:46 tcohen so?
21:46 wahanui rumour has it so is a long road
21:46 CHRIS2 ok that took care of the upload path
21:47 CHRIS2 I still have the log4perl_conf error
21:47 LibraryClaire joined #koha
21:48 tcohen CHRIS2: cp /etc/koha/log4perl-site.conf.in /etc/koha/sites/library/log4perl.conf

21:49 tcohen and replace __LOG_DIR__

21:50 tcohen then, head to https://koha-community.org/
21:50 tcohen and use the 'Donate' button to give the community a few bucks
21:50 tcohen :-P
21:52 CHRIS2 one sec
21:53 tcohen the /var/lib/koha/library/uploads needs to exist for the feature to work
21:54 tcohen mkdir -p /var/lib/koha/library/uploads ; chown library-koha -r /var/lib/koha/library/uploads
21:54 * tcohen forgot that

22:00 tcohen (the first command got executed already)
22:00 CHRIS2 yes
22:01 CHRIS2 i did it in two parts
22:01 CHRIS2 I am now editing the log4perl file
22:01 CHRIS2 I notice there are two areas where there is__LOG_DIR__
22:02 CHRIS2 should I change both of them?
22:02 tcohen yup
22:06 CHRIS2 Error still there
22:07 tcohen chown library-koha /etc/koha/sites/library/log4perl.conf
22:07 tcohen ?

22:14 CHRIS2 yes I did
22:14 CHRIS2 I even logged out of koha and loged back in
22:16 tcohen CHRIS2: my bad, I forgot something else
22:16 CHRIS2 k
22:17 tcohen you need to point your koha-conf.xml to it
22:17 tcohen edit your koha-conf.xml file again
22:17 tcohen search for queryparser
22:17 wahanui joined #koha
22:17 tcohen and write this below
22:18 tcohen <log4perl_conf>/etc/koha/sites/lib​rary/log4perl.conf</log4perl_conf>
22:18 pianohacker tcohen++
22:18 tcohen hehe
22:19 CHRIS2 I was wondering about that too seeing that we did that for the first error.
22:19 tcohen yeah, I didn't want you to write it to koha-conf.xml before the file existed
22:19 tcohen because it could make Koha break until the file existed
22:20 tcohen and then, of course, forgot
22:23 tcohen have to leave
22:23 tcohen CHRIS2: hope it is fixed
22:23 tcohen bye!
22:25 CHRIS2 Up up and awayyyyy!!!!! in smoke. Fixed. Thanks a million
