even though it's The Koha Way to never change bad defaults, only add preferences to allow for individually changing them, if adding the preference accidentally changes the default and nobody notices for 4 years, does The Koha Way no longer apply? |
| 04:49 |
|
philor |
wups, only 3.3 years, I might have to keep quiet until the Four Year Rule applies |

QA are only human philor |
| 09:18 |
|
philor |
ashimema: I don't fault QA for missing the bustage, nor do I fault the patch author for not realizing that he couldn't test for a preference being undefined because QA was going to add a database update to define it as a followup |
| 09:20 |
|
philor |
what I fault is The Koha Way of fixing a bad default by adding a preference to choose absolutely any other value as the default, if you know the preference even exists, and if all 14 of your libraries can agree on a different value |
| 09:20 |
|
ashimema |
No worries.. |
| 09:21 |
|
ashimema |
We do change defaults for new installs.. we don't change defaults behind the scenes so we don't change what people want.. |
| 09:22 |
|
ashimema |
I suppose the onboarding could list changed defaults and ask.. but then, is the administrator who does an upgrade the right person ask ask about changed defaults? |
| 09:22 |
|
philor |
nope |
| 09:22 |
|
ashimema |
If you have a suggestion on how to do better I think people would be happy to give it a go. |
| 09:22 |
|
ashimema |
It bugs me too btw |
| 09:23 |
|
ashimema |
But I've never managed to come up with a better alternative |
| 09:24 |
|
philor |
the only one I have is the one that consumer software uses: if you picked a bad default, and you realize it's a bad default and something else would be better, switch the default to the better thing |

cataloging trivia, the default value for place of publication in 008, in this case |
| 17:03 |
|
philor |
the fact that "leave it like it always was by default, add a pref to make it better" means that I will never see it better in production, in general |
| 17:25 |
|
oleonard |
philor: What is the problem? |
| 17:25 |
|
wahanui |
the problem is it has several code issues |
| 17:28 |
|
oleonard |
wahanui: forget the problem |
| 17:28 |
|
wahanui |
oleonard: I forgot problem |
| 17:29 |
|
oleonard |
wahanui: The problem is time travel hasn't been invented. |
| 17:29 |
|
wahanui |
OK, oleonard. |
| 17:30 |
|
philor |
both correct answers |
| 17:31 |
|
philor |
current problem? https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]_bug.cgi?id=27738 is a daring proposal to fix a bug by going to a new default value rather than by going back to a badly-chosen default value |
| 17:31 |
|
huginn |
Bug 27738: normal, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, NEW , Fix fallback for unset DefaultCountryField008 system preference |
| 17:32 |
|
philor |
instead of that being a daring proposal, it should be normalized behavior, so that by default Koha makes good choices rather than making whatever choice it made once upon a time |
| 17:34 |
|
oleonard |
So you propose to change the fallback to "|||" ? |
| 17:34 |
|
philor |
or, my general problem? changing a pref requires either a supermajority or an executive order, and my party (of one) doesn't control the executive branch or have a supermajority, so "add a pref" is exactly the same as "don't fix it" |
| 17:34 |
|
philor |
yes |
| 17:37 |
|
oleonard |
Has there been a discussion on the Koha mailing list about making this change? |
| 17:39 |
|
philor |
not that I know of, the discussion of xxu in bug 13912 is all I've seen |
| 17:39 |
|
huginn |
Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=13912 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, josef.moravec, CLOSED FIXED, Add syspref for default place of publication (country code) for field 008, range 15-17 |
| 17:41 |
|
oleonard |
philor: You seem to be assuming that you'd get pushback on your proposal, but I don't see why |

how does changing an existing translatable string work? |
| 18:23 |
|
philor |
I just change https://github.com/Koha-Commun[…]aloguing.pref#L66 and the translation tooling notices it changed and presents that fact to translators? |
| 18:26 |
|
tuxayo |
philor: hi :) |
| 18:26 |
|
philor |
tuxayo: hey! |
| 18:27 |
|
tuxayo |
IIUC a string (the old one) will disappear from the pool of strings to translate and a new string (the changed version) will appear in the translatable strings. |

Hi everyone ! I'm trying to delete a library and the system says "This library cannot be deleted. Patrons or items are still using it." |
| 21:50 |
|
Awazez |
What does this means ? |
| 21:51 |
|
cait |
that you have items or patrons with this library :) |
| 21:52 |
