09:46 cait but can't find it - do you have an idea?
09:47 petter hm
09:47 petter maybe something about an rfid-scanner?
09:47 petter https://medium.com/deichman
09:48 petter he made a really smart shelf-cleaner prototype
09:48 cait that was also a very cool article, but not the one i was thinking about

13:04 DonnaB joined #koha
13:07 Joubu I would not require tests for that
13:07 tuxayo +1
13:08 tcohen I agree
13:09 tcohen I would have expected an implementation using Plack::Middleware::Log4Perl (reusing Koha::Logger), though
13:13 Joubu tcohen: http://www.commitstrip.com/en/[…]-have-experience/
13:14 tcohen hahahahaha
13:14 lari tcohen: yep, in fact i tested it yesterday before hearing about 16357. i couldnt get it to work. but i have to admit i didnt dig any further into it
13:15 cait joined #koha
13:16 lari surprised timestamps are not on by default
13:17 tcohen lari it would be great if we also added the facility

14:08 paxed Joubu: looks like it. mine's simpler :P
14:10 Joubu mine is more flexible, it adds the ability to sort the languages as you wish
14:10 paxed what happens when you install new languages but don't have them in the pref?
14:11 meliss joined #koha
14:12 paxed but no, i hadn't paid attention to your bug, becuase it only said "footer"
14:12 Joubu everywhere
14:13 Joubu it will sort the prefs everywhere based on the position in the pref
14:13 Joubu it will sort the languages everywhere based on the position in the pref
14:23 paxed well, the ability to sort is good, sure
14:39 cait i think the first lang is used for fallback
14:40 cait so alphabetic is not always what you might want in the pref?
14:40 cait maybe i remember it wrong
14:41 * tcohen is looking for a new hobbie, ideas?

16:02 Joubu Feb 28th 2018 - 18y = Feb 29th 2000 => So get_age returns 17y instead of 18y
16:03 Joubu Let see tomorrow if it is fixed? (:D)
16:04 maksim Hello, if I want to add a feature to koha, I know I need to do it through bugzilla, but I don't know the specific steps to do that. Does someone here know the steps I need to take?
16:05 oleonard maksim: 1. Register an account on bugs.koha-community.org. 2. File a bug describing the feature
16:05 maksim #1 is done!
16:05 oleonard maksim: If you haven't done so already, search bugzilla to make sure there isn't already a report for that feature
16:06 oleonard maksim: Is it something you're hoping someone will develop, or something you plan to develop?
16:06 Joubu maksim: take a look at the wiki: https://wiki.koha-community.or[…]/Getting_involved
16:07 maksim It's an already developped feature, I just need to submit it
16:08 oleonard maksim: Be as descriptive as you can in the description. Do you need a guide to creating and attaching a patch?
16:08 oleonard https://wiki.koha-community.or[…]ubmitting_A_Patch
16:08 maksim It would be my first time, so I think it would be wise for me to use a guide.

16:09 maksim Thank you Oleonard.

18:37 notarock I have some code in C4/Members/Attributes.pm and was wondering if I have to move it somewhere if i want to send it to the community? I'm working on https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]_bug.cgi?id=12446
18:37 huginn Bug 12446: enhancement, P5 - low, ---, philippe.audet-fortin, Patch doesn't apply , Enable an adult to have a guarantor
18:38 notarock I know C4 code is no good, Im moving member-related code to Koha::Patron, but what about attributes.pm ?
18:39 notarock koha/Patron/Attributes.pm maybe?
18:40 Joubu notarock: which code are you moving to Koha::Patron?
18:40 Joubu did you see that a looot of code is already submitted on bugzilla but not pushed yet?

18:49 notarock Joubu get_guarantor_shared_attribute . I think it's added in the patch I linked
18:53 Joubu notarock: it does not read so nice, but I cannot find something better right now
18:54 Joubu +    my @attributes    = qw( streetnumber address address2 city state zipcode country branchcode phone phonepro mobile email emailpro fax );
18:54 Joubu where does come from this list?
18:56 notarock I think it's the patrons field inheritted from guarantor to guarantee. If i was to add a Guarantee to a patron, the new guarantee would already have these fields filled with the guarantor's inforamtions

18:58 LeeJ tcohen: >_>
18:59 tcohen hi, LeeJ
18:59 LeeJ hi tcohen
19:00 notarock I think the previous person who worked on this used the fields from C4/Utils/DataTables/Members.pm . The diff says it was removed, and they use the get_guarantor_shared_attribute sub to get these properties. Something to do with the new syspref added in that patch, AdditionalGuarantorField which let you add fields that are inherited from guarantor to guarantee
19:00 tcohen notarock: please continue on a private channel, we are starting a meeting, thanks!

19:22 tcohen What we call baskets is usually called 'orders' in specialized systems, and then orders are actually 'orderlines'
19:22 tcohen I wrote that line in the meeting's agenda because we could have the chance to fix this if it was worth, on the API side
19:22 tcohen but I don't think it is worth for v1
19:23 tcohen comments?
19:24 LeeJ I honestly have done hardly anything with the API so I'm unsure if I could be of help lol
19:24 josef_moravec we do not have api for this now, so probably worth it?
19:24 josef_moravec if it's not too complicated ;)
19:25 tcohen I have no strong opinion on how important this is
19:25 bag getting other systems to want to use the API is important
19:26 tcohen but it was obvious when looking at other sample APIs for writing the spec for the orders endpoint, that we were different than any other system
19:26 bag so I would say that if most everywhere does “orders” as baskets - we should do that for the API
19:26 tcohen and so basket_groups could become order_groups
19:26 bag yes
19:27 tcohen can any native speaker volunteer to propose this on an email to koha-devel?
19:27 bag I will
19:27 tcohen at least someone familiar with that management terminology
19:27 tcohen thanks!
19:27 Joubu I am not sure the acquisition module is ready for the REST API
19:27 bag either is the Auth system ;)
19:27 tcohen #actions Brendan will explain in koha-devel the question about terminology for orders/baskets
19:27 Joubu As I told it on 1 comment, Koha::REST should only use Koha::Object(s)-based object
19:28 Joubu to have only 1 way to write things
19:28 Joubu just my thoughts
19:29 tcohen I think that would be ideal, but here we're mostly talking about the spec, right?
19:29 bag that is ideal yes - but is that practical to have to wait for the rewrite of Object(s)-based acq
19:29 tcohen it is as discussing what would the ideal DB structure be
19:29 tcohen we can design a good API spec in terms of good practices
19:30 tcohen and then see how it can fit our codebase, and plan for refactorings if needed
19:31 tcohen #info Jonathan mentions (again) he thinks the REST api development should be done on top of Koha::Object(s)-based classes
19:32 Joubu more code will use C4 and more difficult it will be to move it
19:32 Joubu anyway, it's not the discussion here
19:32 tcohen it is part of a broader discussion/problem we need to deal with
19:33 tcohen probably on another place
19:33 tcohen maybe a round table during the hackfest
19:33 tcohen anyway. I'm supposed to move the meeting forward
19:34 tcohen the next subject is a proposal to change the /illrequests endpoint spec
19:34 * oleonard doesn't remember any round tables
19:35 tcohen *rectangular tables*, sorry
19:35 tcohen josef_moravec: you want to talk about your proposal?
19:35 josef_moravec Just a note
19:36 josef_moravec i propose to change "updated" to "timestamp"
19:36 josef_moravec because of consistency of other endpoints
19:37 tcohen josef_moravec: I agree with most of the attribute name changes, but there's something deeper to think about ill_requests
19:37 tcohen because each backend is supposed to support its own attribute sets
19:37 josef_moravec yes
19:37 tcohen and so, we face two problems
19:38 tcohen - We still need to make backends plugable (like with plugins)
19:38 tcohen - Probably have the plugins inject new routes
19:38 tcohen for example /ill_requests/free_form/
19:38 tcohen etc
19:38 kathryn joined #koha
19:39 josef_moravec understand, but it means somehow enhance our plugin system
19:39 tcohen endeed
19:39 josef_moravec so, for now, it is a blocker to this endpoint
19:40 tcohen either path we pick, I think your spec should be constrained to just listing I think
19:40 tcohen or yes, blocked for now
19:41 josef_moravec this should be covered in proposals, so postpone voting to next meeting?
19:41 tcohen #info Josef agreed some work on the backend-side is needed for actions on the illrequests endpoints (besides LIST)
19:41 tcohen yes
19:41 josef_moravec I'll enhance the proposal
19:41 m23 joined #koha
19:41 tcohen Next is the orders endpoint
19:41 josef_moravec thanks tcohen
19:42 tcohen I didn't complete the PATCH spec matching all possible flows orders have because I had to go deep in the code to find all required attributes for each action
19:43 tcohen but basically, I propose having /acq/orders/order_id
19:43 tcohen for all CRUD
19:44 tcohen and then use PATCH for specific actions like 'receive' an order(line)
19:44 tcohen or 'cancel', etc
19:44 tcohen another option is to treat those actions as resources
19:44 m23_ joined #koha
19:44 tcohen like POST /acq/orders/123/receipts { date_received: blah }
19:45 tcohen our DB design doesn't allow to do this in a natural way
19:45 tcohen because partial receipts create separate 'orders'
19:46 tcohen (that happen to be descendants of the original one)
19:46 tcohen so we don't really have a separate table with a 1-* relationship
19:46 tcohen as /receipts would imply
19:46 tcohen we could emulate it on the API, but migt get troublesome
19:47 tcohen for terminology (attributes) I contacted some of you (including Katrin, etc)
19:48 tcohen ok, if there aren't any opinions…
19:48 josef_moravec I am for using PATCH, does make more sense to mee from view of using API
19:49 tcohen from a consumer POV, the only deficiency I find (in the overall DB design, which permeates to the API)
19:49 tcohen is that if we PATCH to receive an order (partially)
19:50 tcohen the result is that a new order is created "behind the scenes"
19:50 talljoy joined #koha
19:50 tcohen so, for rendering the list of orders (standing or not)
19:50 tcohen we would need to GET /../orders again
19:50 tcohen to refresh the list
19:51 tcohen besides the baskets/orderlines renaming
19:51 josef_moravec but that is just for receiving, true?
19:51 tcohen true
19:52 tcohen we could emulate a resource-oriented approach
19:52 tcohen by detecting 'descendants' orders
19:52 tcohen but it will get messy, for sure
19:53 josef_moravec yes it will, but that's 'our' problem, this is iplementation detail, and should not be shown in the API
19:53 tcohen true
19:53 josef_moravec but we don't want messy code at all, that's true too
19:54 tcohen could we vote the general spec and I can focus on this details for a proposal on this specific actions against orders?
19:54 tcohen I don't really need a vote, but a general agreement on terminology and such
19:54 josef_moravec we could, this is for another disscusion
19:55 josef_moravec +1 from me
19:55 tcohen anyone has a case against this spec?
19:56 Joubu wher eis the /receipts?
19:56 Joubu where is the /receipts?
19:56 tcohen this proposal doesn't include it
19:56 Joubu k
19:57 tcohen it actually includes the PATCH solution
19:57 tcohen I can work on putting the /receipts proposal in words
19:57 Joubu "parent_order_id" should not be exposed, right?
19:57 tcohen exactly
19:58 tcohen Ah, it is in the spec :-D
19:58 Joubu tax_value_on_ordering  and  tax_value_on_receiving  neither I guess
19:58 tcohen it shouldn't be exposed, if we create the /receipts one
19:58 tcohen with PATCH, we need it
19:58 Joubu you will have to calculate them yourself
19:58 * oleonard ducks out
19:59 tcohen Joubu: I'm not sure about those two, they cna be changed on receiving, from the UI
19:59 Joubu I am not sure where we are going
19:59 Joubu but you can go :)
20:00 tcohen ok
20:01 Joubu if we have any ideas about who is going to use this API, we should contact them first
20:01 Joubu and talk with them to understand what they want/need
20:01 Joubu unless you know already
20:02 tcohen #actions Tomas will enhance the /orders endpoint spec with some missing possible solutions for the 'receive' and 'cancel' use cases, there's a general consensus on attribute names
20:02 tcohen Joubu: I've been thinking on the use case: 'rewrite the orders handling UI'
20:02 tcohen so, looking at things that are handshaked on each step from the UI
20:02 tcohen and how this would fit in a RESTful api
20:03 tcohen and then, I've worked on GOBI integration (an external acq system)
20:03 tcohen and have had talks with people integrating Coral
20:03 tcohen both of them really need a very simplified API
20:03 tcohen because they don't need to care about creating a basket, etc
20:03 tcohen they usually send orderlines along with a MARC record
20:04 tcohen and expect things to be processed magically
20:04 tcohen so
20:04 Joubu which is better for us then
20:04 * cait waves
20:04 tcohen I'm thinking of a set of endpoints that can be used in both 'the complex' and 'the simple' way
20:04 Joubu we do not need to create endpoints for baskets, invoices, etc.
20:04 tcohen Joubu: it depends
20:05 tcohen becuase orders (baskets) are needed inside Koha to be able to display them
20:05 tcohen I mean, we could strip everything out, but that's a major thing on the codebase
20:05 tcohen he
20:05 * LeeJ waves to cait
20:06 cait sorry for missing most of the meeting
20:06 tcohen the idea is t do it as simple as possible, keeping in mind we would use it also for re-doing th UI
20:06 tcohen anyway
20:06 tcohen I'm fine to know there's no strong opinion against the chosen attribute names
20:07 Joubu we have existing endpoints but there are not used from our UI
20:07 Joubu so I doubt it's a good argument
20:07 tcohen details will be polished and proposed for next dev meeting
20:07 Joubu s/there/they #erk
20:07 tcohen I have a clear request to speed up orders management
20:07 tcohen that would benefit from such endpoints
20:08 tcohen ok, next one is patron password change endpoint
20:08 tcohen but I need to pick Manuel
20:08 tcohen #chair cait
20:08 huginn Current chairs: cait tcohen
20:10 cait would it make sense to require the old password for use in systems like vufind?
20:10 alexbuckley joined #koha
20:10 Joubu who's around to talk about the REST api?
20:10 josef_moravec old password is not required in proposal
20:11 cait ok
20:11 tcohen old password is optional, on the header (not part of the password object)
20:12 tcohen and only useful for unprivileged users changing their own passowrd
20:12 cait not much to talk about here - in terms of terminology
20:12 cait :)
20:12 josef_moravec but VuFind could handle it
20:13 josef_moravec https://vufind.org/wiki/develo[…]rs#changepassword
20:15 cait ?
20:16 cait everyone reading? :)
20:16 Joubu I am
20:17 josef_moravec so, are we going to vote?
20:18 m23_ let's go :-)
20:18 cait which one?
20:19 josef_moravec password change
20:19 cait +1
20:20 m23_ +1
20:20 josef_moravec +1
20:20 * Joubu abstains
20:23 cait ok, i think i missed that tcohen left
20:23 cait making me chair
20:23 cait #agreed RFC for password change is accepted
20:23 cait are there others we shoudl vote on?
20:24 cait josef_moravec: ?
20:24 cait i have no idea where in the agenda we are, help :)
