06:13 ashimema Thought I'd join the pet pictures brigade from last night

06:43 reiveune hello
06:43 tuxayo hi #koha o/
06:45 tuxayo ashimema: nice picture :) , is that where you live?
06:48 ashimema Yup, five minute walk away.. I'm lucky enough to live on the outskirts of a bug town.. lots of fields and woodlands right on my doorstep but without the challenge of being along way from the modern world either
06:48 * cait waves
06:48 paul_p joined #koha
06:49 ashimema Morning cait
06:49 cait doggie is growing
06:50 alex_a joined #koha
06:51 alex_a bonjour
06:51 ashimema He certainly is.. we randomly bumped into one of his brothers yesterday evening. They lived seeing each other again, it's been nearly 2 months since they saw each other
06:54 cait so they do recognize each other?
06:56 cait does someone have an idea about this one? https://lists.katipo.co.nz/pip[…]April/052712.html
06:58 ashimema Oh yes, they knew each other immediately. It was lovely to see
06:59 ashimema No idea on that one
06:59 ashimema Feels like vbox networking issues
06:59 ashimema But I don't really have a clue beyond that
06:59 andrew_ joined #koha
07:01 * ashimema suddenly wonders when he got old.. two kids, a cat, a dog and a house in the country..
07:03 cait at least you can check those things off... i think not having it doesn't mean i am not old :)
07:03 * magnuse thinks cait is forever young
07:04 magnuse ashimema: looks lovely! but what is that green stuff that seems to come out of the ground? is it alive?
07:04 magnuse and maybe ashimema's bug town can explain some of the bugs in koha?
07:05 andreashm joined #koha
07:05 magnuse kia ora andreashm
07:05 ashimema Lol.. I should learn not to join IRC from my phone whilst getting the girls breakfast.. my typo rate goes up even-handed more than usual
07:06 magnuse tee hee
07:06 cait thx magnuse :)
07:14 * ashimema quietly wonders if community would get behind introducing Function::Parameters as a requirement in the Koha namespace
07:19 cait i tihnk i'd need a lengthy explanation ot answer that
07:19 cait today is dev meeting - is bugzilla comonents/side projects something we should discuss? saw your bug comment
07:26 josef_moravec joined #koha
07:33 cait hi josef_moravec!
07:36 davidnind joined #koha
07:36 josef_moravec hi cait
07:49 ashimema Function::Parameters effectively backports perl core signatures back from perl 5.20 to 5.14+
07:50 ashimema and signatures give's us a nice way to 'describe' what parameters a method or function takes along with validating that the parameters have been passed
07:50 ashimema in short.. it would mean we should catch coding bugs quicker
07:51 ashimema lead to higher quality
07:55 cait maybe something to dicsuss as the modern perl workshop?
07:55 ashimema funny you should say that ;)
07:55 ashimema the recommendation came from mst and kraih
07:56 ashimema mind you.. the whole channel practically fell of their chairs when I said we limit ourselves to system perl too
08:04 cait can't tell what not limiting us would mean
08:05 ashimema packaging a more recent perl (and by doing so being able to utilise the feature and performance enhancements of it)
08:05 ashimema perl-build pretty much does it for you from what I understand
08:06 ashimema anywho.. that's all a conversation to mull over at kohacon I reckon
08:07 cait i guess it might cause problems with running koha on non-debian-like distributions?
08:07 cait where packages are not used
08:07 cait also admins might not be happy if they don't run a server for koha alone
08:07 ashimema perhaps.. but that's already a big excersize for the end user..
08:08 cait i think we often pick being inclusive over convenient :)
08:09 ashimema mm
08:10 ashimema but that arguament doesn't always carry here.. newer perls use less resource and perform better.. so in fact could well mean we're more inclusive ;)
08:10 ashimema anywho.. I'll leave that for now
08:10 cait and i don't know enough to really have a valid opinion
08:11 ashimema we've not even managed to bump the minimum perl version past 5.10  when we tried because of some obscure use of an ancient OS by someone
08:11 cait just hwat came into mind why we didn't
08:12 ashimema pinning ourselves to a 12 year old release seems somewhat silly to me
08:13 ashimema afterall.. we refuse to support koha for more than 18 months at this point in reality
08:13 cait i think there is a bug with some discussion for last time we tried to up the version
08:13 ashimema yup
08:13 ashimema there's multiple
08:14 ashimema dcook put a stop on it as he uses an old version of Suse for development
08:14 ashimema at least that's my vague memory of it.
08:15 cait hmm might be
08:15 cait we could discuss again to up the version as a next step maybe?

10:11 cait kidclamp: ping me when you are around and have a minute for elasticsearch debugging?
10:15 paxed AAaargh. and MARCdetail.pl also shows the authorised value description, not the value. ffs
10:16 cait josef_moravec: still around?
10:16 josef_moravec cait: yep
10:16 cait sec, sending you a screenshot
10:17 cait see the issue?
10:17 josef_moravec cait: yes
10:18 josef_moravec but wasn't there, where I saw it last time...
10:18 cait easier to show than write up - maybe something changed
10:18 cait it applied cleanly, so it wasn't me :)
10:18 josef_moravec cait: yes, thanks, I'll look into it....
10:19 cait commented on the bug too
10:20 josef_moravec cait: great, i don't have to search for the bug ;)
10:20 fridolin joined #koha
10:20 cait oh
10:20 cait i should have mentioned the bug number
10:20 cait bug 20421
10:20 huginn` Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=20421 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, josef.moravec, Failed QA , Apply CheckPrevCheckout logic when placing a hold on the staff client
10:40 paxed and why does MARCdetail and labelMARCdetail show the info differently? MARCdetails shows authorised value description when labeled MARC shows the actual MARC record data. GRRRRH

10:59 oleonard joined #koha
11:00 oleonard Oh yeah, the reason I don't leave my PC running overnight is it randomly restarts
11:02 oleonard Hi all
11:02 cait hi oleonard :)

11:39 oleonard Better? https://zivotdesign.com/p/view[…]?p=15548963009981
11:40 kidclamp I like it
11:42 ashimema Nice
11:45 magnuse goody
11:49 cait yep
11:49 cait but maybe try with a longer title?
11:53 cait maybe the barcode could be without the () smaller on a new line? that woudl save some space
11:57 oleonard Longer title: https://zivotdesign.com/p/view[…]?p=15548974055817
11:58 cait is that a made up one or real? :)
12:05 magnuse juvenile? yeah, let's scare the living daylights out of the kids!
12:11 oleonard cait: I simply expanded on the existing title :)
12:33 oleonard cait: https://zivotdesign.com/p/view[…]?p=15548995836756
12:48 cait i like
12:56 oleonard cait: I keep opening up Bug 22359 and thinking about it, but no great ideas yet from me
12:56 huginn` Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=22359 normal, P5 - low, 19.05, koha-bugs, NEW , Improve usability of 'change calculation' (bug 11373)
12:56 oleonard I agree that the labels could be improved.
12:56 cait i was wondering if we should just syspref the whole thing away
12:56 cait remove the new stuff
12:56 oleonard I think the functionality makes sense, even if it is awkward on first glance.
12:57 cait i think the 'collected from patron' should not be preset
12:57 cait but empty to begin with
12:57 cait so you can still just process the payment as before... and if you want to calculate you enter what the patron gave you
12:58 cait if they give you matching... you don't need to calculate
12:58 oleonard Yeah that makes sense
12:58 cait could we make the amount paid stand out a bit more?
12:58 cait maybe... some padding or so?
12:59 oleonard Why make it stand out more? I don't understand
13:00 cait my feeling is that it get slost
13:00 cait you suddenly have 3 input fields where it used to be one
13:01 cait hm ok 2
13:02 cait and if you click pay it says collected and if you click pay amount collect
13:02 * andreashm looks at that bug
13:02 cait yes plz
13:02 andreashm I don't really understand that screenshot at all
13:02 cait as in not seeing a problem or as in not seeign what you would have to do?
13:03 andreashm what's the difference between amount paid and collect from patron?
13:03 cait i figured now: amount paid is what you want to pay, collect is what they give you
13:03 cait so they say: pay 5, give you 10, return 5
13:03 andreashm but the total amount outstanding is 13.20. and the payment 13.20?
13:04 cait but the collect is preset withthe full amount owed.. which leads to this funny screenshot
13:04 cait i wanted to do a partial payment there
13:04 oleonard And 'amount paid' can be changed so that a partial payment can be made on this specific charge.
13:06 andreashm I truly hade those two. ("pay and amount towards all fines" and "partial payments")
13:06 cait hm?
13:07 cait btw, click on confirm
13:07 cait i also have issues with the modal
13:07 andreashm those options are horribly prone to errors
13:07 andreashm by staff
13:08 cait hm
13:08 cait we neverhad any complaints about those
13:08 cait more like 'we like' in training
13:09 andreashm maybe it's better now, but "pay an amount towards all fines" used to calculate really weird on what to actually pay.
13:11 andreashm did we relable the tabs between releases? in the screenshot it says "transactions" and "make a payment". In our 17.11 this is called "account" and "pay fines"
13:11 cait joined #koha
13:12 cait unplanned restart :(
13:12 andreashm welcome back
13:13 oleonard andreashm: Yes the labels changed
13:15 cait andreashm: it should be oldest to newest (the wird calculation)
13:17 oleonard Should we only show the "change" information if there is change to give?
13:17 cait hm, but how would you know?
13:17 cait i tihnk you would need to enter what you actually got given ?
13:18 oleonard Yeah, I'm not thinking much past what we have now.
13:20 andreashm cait: yes, but the problem is, that just using the oldest to newest might not make the most sense. say you have three fees: 300, 50 and 50. 300 is the oldest.
13:20 oleonard Dev meeting in 40 minutes, yes?
13:20 andreashm A sum of 100 is paymed
13:20 andreashm 200 is left on the oldest.
13:21 andreashm the other two are still there.
13:21 andreashm If any smaller fines match the sum payed, they should be payed for first.
13:22 andreashm otherwise, for large libraries with people who have a lot of transactions, it becomes pretty uncelar what is actually been paid. and when
13:22 andreashm But perhaps that is mostly a problem with the transactions tab, rather than the logic
13:22 andreashm We intend to work with UX of the transaction tabs this year.
13:23 cait andreashm: it pays 300 partially then
13:23 andreashm There was a workshop about it at the last Swedish user gorup meeting
13:23 cait if you want it to work differnt you can select - i don't see how it would be made more clever
13:23 andreashm cait: yeah.
13:23 andreashm That's why I don't like the function. It makes it easy to things to be unclear. =)
13:24 cait i think our libraries like it the way - at lest from what i got in training, but maybe they don't have that many transactions
13:24 oleonard calire++
13:24 andreashm cait: we have some (troublesome) patrons with several hundred lines in accountlines. no fun with partial sums etc.
13:25 * oleonard pleads with everyone to eliminate fines
13:25 cait i see
13:25 * andreashm hopes to not only complain about it, but actually work on it this year
13:25 cait Can't call method "notforloan" on an undefined value at /home/vagrant/kohaclone/C4/Reserves.pm line 1218 - someone seen that?
13:25 cait trying ot place holds
13:28 andreashm oleonard: we do. after a period of time. a long period...
13:29 cait item had no itemtype - never mind
13:29 oleonard andreashm: I mean eliminate the practice completely. We don't charge fines and it's so nice to not have to deal with them
13:30 andreashm oleonard: we tried. management said no. =)
13:30 * oleonard shakes his fist at management
13:30 andreashm (or, researches get no fines. students and the public do)
13:31 oleonard Yeah I'm coming from a public library perspective which is different
13:31 andreashm we eliminated invoicing though. everyone is very happy about that

13:39 oleonard Hi wizzyrea
13:41 magnuse wizzyrea!

13:51 thd joined #koha
13:54 AndrewIsh oleonard:  I should know this but my ageing brain is letting me down, in the OPAC can we rely on JS support being present in the client?
13:54 oleonard My ageing brain has ageing opinions and I prefer the "progressive enhancement" route for the OPAC
13:55 oleonard But that's idealistic and getting fairly out of date
13:56 AndrewIsh Agreed, it would be super interesting to be able to get some stats on browser JS support in OPAC clients, I'd imagine the proportion not supporting at least ES5 would be tiny
13:56 thd oleonard: Such ideals are quite proper.
13:57 thd Tiny but important.  Leave no users behind.
13:57 oleonard You and I think so thd but the web has voted with its feet
13:58 ashimema I very ocassionaly browse the web via Lynx
13:58 * oleonard mutters Nerd
13:58 cait ashimema++ # ldap bug
13:59 thd That is fine for creatures with feet.  If you loose your feet or some equivalent even temporarily, you may have a different perspective where you have already agreed.
13:59 AndrewIsh Call me a pessimist, but I think that's a tricky ideal to uphold. Where do you draw the line, it's a very fuzzy line at best.
13:59 ashimema +1
13:59 AndrewIsh ^^ That was aimed at "Leave no users behind"
13:59 thd I draw the line at if it does not work in lynx it does not work.

14:34 josef_moravec What do you think about the returned structure? What if the internal implementation of $backend->capabilities change?
14:34 AndrewIsh We'll have far bigger problems if that happens! :-)
14:35 josef_moravec AndrewIsh: thanks for info!
14:35 AndrewIsh But, if you wanted to abstract against that eventuality, it might be a nice idea
14:36 AndrewIsh But I don't think we'll be changing anything any time soon
14:37 josef_moravec I think as far as there we'll be test for that, it is OK,  I am going to write some anyway

14:42 thd ... or maybe structure is specified sufficiently if carefully enough compared to other behaviour where functionality is evident

14:47 ashimema that should be enough to get it going I reckon?
14:49 kidclamp sounds good to me, any discussion or objections before vote?
14:50 ashimema should we be going back and retrospectively updating relations?
14:51 * ashimema still find's it a tad crazy that we have to add these manually when dbic gives us them for free for anything that has a proper relationship defined in the db
14:51 kidclamp eventually yes, tie them to the omnibus bug
14:51 ashimema but that's a different annoyance
14:51 kidclamp vote?
14:51 thd In the absence of a retrospective update, the code will be providing bad examples.

15:08 wizzyrea oleonard, what do you think about bug 8731, do we still need to address the multiple cover sources thing
15:08 huginn` Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8731 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, NEW , Holds Log to track the number of times a hold is overriden
15:08 wizzyrea or can we just suggest people use coce
15:08 wizzyrea man I'd love to run a centralised coce server.
15:09 kidclamp the bywater one is open for all
15:09 kidclamp htttps://coce.bywatersolutions.com
15:10 wizzyrea feeling like that should be on the website
15:10 thd AndrewIsh: From previous discussion, browsh with JavaScript support may be a possible future least capable client to consider supporting but I have not tested and I am uncertain about whether it would actually sidestep important disability access issues and thus fail disability access by rendering text as graphical elements instead of text.  I provide assistance to some people with very limited vision where almost everything fails them including
15:10 thd text to speech systems.
15:10 oleonard wizzyrea: I'm not sure... Do we need to handle local cover images better for Coce users?
15:10 wizzyrea I was wondering about that
15:11 wizzyrea also if we are going to link to bywater's coce, if anyone else runs one regionally we should offer that too
15:11 ashimema calendar and wiki pages updated for that meeting
15:11 wizzyrea what we need is a section on the website for the community provided services
15:11 wizzyrea thinking of mana
15:11 wizzyrea and hea
15:11 wizzyrea and coce
15:11 wizzyrea bc there's only wiki rn I think
15:12 wizzyrea ok when you are at Kohacon
15:12 wizzyrea I need you to take a group photo where you organise yourselves into the shape of a love heart
15:12 wizzyrea can you all do that?
15:12 wizzyrea <3
15:12 wizzyrea please
15:12 wizzyrea it's for the weebbbbsiiiiiteeeee
15:12 ashimema hehe
15:12 AndrewIsh thd:  Yes, indeed, accessibility is the main concern with requiring JS I think. I honestly don't know how people who have to use screenreaders manage nowadays, the internet must be a very frustrating place
15:12 wizzyrea the one from Cordoba was great
15:13 wizzyrea this current one is kind of an upside down triangle you got so close
15:13 * oleonard mails a cardboard cutout of himself to Dublin
15:13 wizzyrea hehe
15:13 wizzyrea i'll put mine in the box with yours
15:13 * oleonard typos "KohaCoin" and wonders why we never started our own cryptocurrency
15:14 wizzyrea idk there was someone doing a blockchain implementation of a library circulation system
15:15 oleonard Bleah
15:16 thd AndrewIsh: Sadly, multibillion dollar companies with extraordinary commitments to disability access frequently fail to follow common disability access guidelines in their own disability access interfaces.
15:17 AndrewIsh thd:  :(
15:18 ashimema email about roles sent
15:18 ashimema right.. that's my actions done :)

16:10 oleonard It's only a 20 hour drive from here. I'll stop and pick you up wizzyrea
16:10 * cait is never sure how you Americans mean this
16:10 cait only 20 hours
16:11 oleonard To me that sounds unreasonable, so I was joking.
16:19 magnuse on the floss weekly podcast, the question "when will this start to use blockchain technology" has become a standing joke :-)
16:26 tcohen was there a dev meeting today???
16:26 * tcohen blames google calendar
16:28 vfernandes how I can improve performance to open 1 record details with more than 100 itens/holdings?
16:29 tcohen Add item prefetch capabilities to Koha::Biblio
16:30 vfernandes 100 holdings -> 7 seconds
16:31 vfernandes 200 holdings -> 14 seconds
16:31 vfernandes tcohen: how?
16:32 tcohen is the question 'how can I patch Koha to improve performance'?
16:32 tcohen or you just want a workaround for your setup?
16:32 tcohen I ask this because it is not *that* trivial
16:33 tcohen and needs coding
16:33 vfernandes tcohen: a need a workaround to my setup
16:34 vfernandes *i need
16:35 tcohen there's an effort on bug 19884, which I don't like that much but could work
16:35 huginn` Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=19884 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, glasklas, Needs Signoff , Improve performance of GetItem
16:35 tcohen for you
16:38 wizzyrea joined #koha
16:38 vfernandes the problem can be related to many things: get record itens, get item information or get item loan status
16:48 ashimema Good thing we have that new guidline about prefetch in Koha objects then aye tcohen
16:51 cait can someone explain it to me? :)
17:03 ashimema Sure
17:03 ashimema How low level do you want cait ?
17:04 ashimema Do you understand what a dbic resultset is.. in that it's a query plan and now a set of results?
17:04 cait pretty low level
17:06 ashimema Right.. so at its most basic a dbic ->search call is akin to ->prepare(SELECT * FROM table WHERE stuff).
17:07 cait ok
17:07 ashimema Then when you do stuff with it you hit the db with the above call
17:07 ashimema Dbic allows SQL JOINS via what it calls 'relationships'
17:10 cait ok
17:10 ashimema So.. depending on when you call 'next' or other methods that give back actual results it will amend the SELECT * above to being a JOIN or subselect or if your calling the for the related data late in the flow a new SELECT * FROM table2 WHERE joined.id = id
17:11 ashimema Can you see there you might end up with second db hits depending on where you've called the givee related data call
17:12 ashimema For this case, if you know ahead of time you will want things from two related tables.. borrowers and issue perhaps.. you can ask dbic to get both in one call in the original call
17:12 cait ok
17:13 ashimema But... We fundamentally broke that with the way we did relationships in Koha::Objects.. so the new guideline gets people to restore that dbic behaviour
17:13 ashimema I've not explained that well.. sorry, also cooking right now
17:13 ashimema I'll have another go tomorrow if you like.. or feel free to quiz me any time
17:13 cait it's ok
17:13 cait thank you :)
17:13 ashimema Relationships tooke ages to get my head around the first time
17:13 cait i might do that after having anothre look at the exmaples
17:14 ashimema And even longer to work it out after we confused matter by adding Koha objects on top
17:14 cait but we are on a good way now?
17:15 ashimema Better with the guideline than without yes
17:16 ashimema Though we still need to go through all the objects and check for breakages from before the guideline existed
17:16 ashimema I might make that a task for myself tomorrow
17:16 reiveune bye
17:16 reiveune left #koha
17:16 cait maybe a patch doing that would be good for explaining too
17:25 tcohen cait: Koha::Patron->category does that
17:25 tcohen but you need to first get the Koha::Patron object like
17:26 tcohen my $patron = Koha::Patrons->find( $patron_id, { prefetch => 'categories' } )
17:26 tcohen I'm not being precise, is just a mock

20:50 cait oleonard: still around?
20:51 oleonard Yes for some reason
20:51 cait :)
20:51 cait i am looking at the non-xslt removal
20:51 cait on bug 12561 there are some bugs listing syprefs not working without xslt
20:51 huginn` Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=12561 normal, P5 - low, ---, oleonard, NEW , Omnibus: Deprecate non-XSLT detail and result views
20:51 cait what should we do about them?
20:51 cait OpacPopugAuthorsSearch is an example
20:52 oleonard My understanding was that no bugs blocked the removal of the non-XSLT detail view in the staff client, and that's all I did
20:52 cait popup...
20:52 cait aah staff
20:52 oleonard Sorry if I didn't make that clear
20:52 cait probably me not reading right
20:53 cait btw... after such a long time i think we should just remove the prefs and from OPAC too
20:53 cait but will test the first patch now :)
20:57 cait oleonard: should we include a database update setting the pref to defualt for those that have null?
20:57 cait empty i mean
20:57 oleonard I included that at first, but since either value works I took it out
20:58 cait hm I tihnk it woudl be more consistnet
20:58 cait also gives another note in the database update about the change
20:59 oleonard Maybe we should update the db setting the pref to "" where the setting is "default" and make null the default XLST
21:00 cait I'd be ok with that too
21:00 cait i think i have a slight preference for default, just because it will match and show the change
21:01 cait match the other prefs
21:02 oleonard Yeah
21:03 oleonard Okay I can add the update
