00:52 BobB hi wizzyrea
00:54 BobB @later tell wizzyrea :at koha-community.org/documentation/ the link to the 16.05 manual is returning 404
00:54 huginn BobB: The operation succeeded.
00:57 bob_ joined #koha
00:59 wizzyrea BobB: what is the correct URL? That stuff is managed by bernardo
00:59 wizzyrea and actually near as I can tell the manual for 16 isn't there at all
01:00 wizzyrea nengard would have been the one who updated that page.
01:00 wizzyrea http://manual.koha-community.org/16.05/en/ BobB
01:01 bob_ ok, so I go to https://koha-community.org/documentation/
01:01 wizzyrea yeah, that http://translate.koha-communit[…]/en/html-desktop/
01:02 wizzyrea doesn't exist
01:02 bob_ and click the link to the 16.05 manual
01:02 wizzyrea and translate is run by bernardo
01:02 bob_ and get a 404
01:02 bob_ but the url you give resolves for me
01:02 wizzyrea yep, it's not on translate
01:02 wizzyrea it's on manual
01:02 wizzyrea that's the mirror link
01:02 wizzyrea something is funky with the translate copy
01:02 bob_ ah ok
01:03 wizzyrea just trying to get you to the info you needed :)
01:03 wizzyrea i'm not sure exactly what needs to happen on translate
01:04 bob_ i'll email bernardo if you like?
01:06 wizzyrea that's probably best, I kinda don't want to touch it until I know what the URL actually *is*
01:06 wizzyrea cuz if he just puts it there it'll come right by itself :)
01:07 wizzyrea or, if we need to come up with a different workflow or idk what
01:10 bob_ done
01:11 bob_ thx wizzyrea
01:12 wizzyrea yep nw

05:49 The1TheyCallSam Hi, guys -- trying out the Koha IRC for the first time!
05:52 The1TheyCallSam I'm a fairly new Koha user (currently on 3.14, but planning to upgrade to latest version soon), and while I've been better familiarizing myself with resources out there, I'm still not bridging the gaps in my knowledge on one particular issue...
05:53 cait hi :)
05:54 The1TheyCallSam The issue I'm having is with patron logins, both for our OPAC in general, and for our Self-Checkout procedure for an off-site collection (for which there is currently a link on our Library homepage): library.marianas.edu
05:55 cait in 3.14?
05:56 cait just asking cause there aredifferences
05:56 cait waht's the issue?
05:58 cait hm your link is a more modern version - but strangely I can't see the exact version in the source
05:58 The1TheyCallSam Our students do not know how to login to the OPAC (and because I'm still fairly new in my job, neither do I); I am able to login with my admin. Koha (back-end) login info, as are my other staff members, but the students' login info still vexes me...no one at our Library has really ever addressed this since we jumped on the Koha wagon, and my predecessor didn't communicate to me how usernames and passwords are generated.
05:59 cait hm
05:59 cait if you are not using some external thing like ldap or cas, the way you log into koha is either:
05:59 cait - username + password
05:59 cait - cardnumber + password
06:00 cait passwords are stored encrypted, so there is no way for you to tell what it has been set to
06:00 cait you can use the patron import to set passwords - but once the password is stored, there is no way to findout again what it was
06:01 cait oh and normal uers don't need any permissions, only staff users do
06:01 The1TheyCallSam This makes sense...I am thinking it has something to do with importing our currently enrolled students into the system via "batch delete" / "batch patron modification" (which we do at the beginning of every semester), but I am unsure...
06:03 cait take a look at the import patrons tool
06:03 cait it works with csv files
06:03 The1TheyCallSam I need to be able to demonstrate to students at the off-site facility can successfully checkout materials to themselves...
06:03 The1TheyCallSam Ok, looking now -- one sec.
06:03 cait you can create a user or set a users passwords from the patron account
06:04 cait so I think a demonstration should not be a problem
06:04 bob_ hi cait
06:05 cait hi bob_
06:05 bob_ The1TheyCallSam, you need a staff user for the self check module
06:05 bob_ to log in to it effectively
06:05 bob_ then each student uses their own credentials to borrow
06:06 bob_ its covered in the manual
06:06 The1TheyCallSam AH...
06:06 cait ahyeah that's true
06:06 The1TheyCallSam Thank you, bob_
06:06 cait and there is a specific permission it will need
06:06 cait in newer versions
06:06 The1TheyCallSam That may be what was stumping me...
06:07 cait self_checkout                                  Perform self checkout at the OPAC. It should be used for the patron matching the AutoSelfCheckID
06:09 cait that's the permission
06:13 The1TheyCallSam joined #koha
06:16 irma joined #koha
06:18 The1TheyCallSam Ok, cait -- I think I've found it:  it looks like the circulation preference this refers to (when I perform a search  for "self checkout" in global system preferences) is: AutoSelfCheckAllowed  AutoSelfCheckID  AutoSelfCheckPass
06:19 cait that's if you want the self check user to automatically log in
06:22 The1TheyCallSam Hmmm...ultimately I want them to user THEIR username and password, so that our ILS keeps track of exactly who is borrowing those materials...
06:23 ashimema joined #koha
06:27 The1TheyCallSam My problem is still that I'm not sure what the username and password IS.  Last week, I tried many combinations with a couple of students, trying every possibility of what it could be / should be...I even tried editing one student's OPAC login, and had him create a new password, but that didn't seem to work, either...
06:33 The1TheyCallSam I think maybe I just wigged out because of the initial requirement of a STAFF login for this self-checkout thing:  thus, even the students' legitimate username / password wasn't being recognized...
06:33 The1TheyCallSam I'll keep tinkering.  Thanks for your help, all!

12:56 tcohen hi kidclamp, more specifically?
12:56 cait kidclamp: see above
12:56 tcohen is anyone aware of recent changes in ISBN handling?
12:56 cait what's the question?
12:56 wahanui the question is "What is the meaning of life, the universe and everything?"
12:56 eythian oh, wednesday is one of the warm days here, and I have to spend two hours on a boat that afternoon. Oh well.
12:56 cait i just found out Koha eats hyphens :)
12:57 tcohen recently, Search.t started failing
12:57 * tcohen is lazy this morning, but could bisect it
12:57 kidclamp tcohen: it seems that 'koha-plack --start' doesn't get the ENV needed for memcache
12:57 kidclamp plackup.sh works fine

17:45 circ-user-2Javc its possible to configure email send ? since we dont have domain
17:51 liw drojf, did your ITP bug get filed OK?
17:53 drojf liw: it did. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bi[…]rt.cgi?bug=834363 i guess i should make friends with the perl team and only summon you in case they are mean to me ;)
17:55 drojf circ-user-2Javc: koha does not send emails by itself. it uses the MTA (mail transfer agent) of your system. i'm sure there are configurations that will work. but there are a lot of MTA options and settings, and i can't assist with that
17:56 circ-user-2Javc ok
17:56 circ-user-2Javc any idea how to configure
17:57 drojf you have to choose an MTA before you configure it
17:57 drojf options are things like postfix, sendmail, exim4 … and probably a lot more
17:57 drojf and they all have individual configuration
17:58 drojf there is nullmailer which promises easy ending via an existing email address, but i have never made it work
18:01 kidclamp at least for my dev sites I use these instructions which work pretty well. I do not vouch for their use in production: http://kohageek.pbworks.com/w/[…]ces%20from%20Koha
