07:00 cait good morning #koha
07:33 davewood im still looking for a way to properly sort using items.itemcallnumber ... looking for the proper approach ... should we set itemcallnumber to a format that gives us the results we want or is it smarter to write custom code? for example a custom C4::ClasssSortRoutine::* (not sure if that would be the correct place. ... question: how is cn_sort populated and how can it be refreshed?
07:33 davewood morning cait
07:38 Joubu cn_sort is (re)generated when the item is saved (created or modified)
07:38 Joubu IF itemcallnumber or cn_source are different from what is in DB
07:42 davewood so if im working in the DB directly, can I trigger that somehow? there used to be a command line script "touch_all_items" or something according to some old bugreport that I found but that script doesnt seem to exist anymore
07:43 davewood https://koha.katipo.co.narkive[…]umber-and-cn-sort
07:43 davewood 2011 :)
07:44 davewood oh, that script is still there!
07:44 davewood didnt find it before
07:45 davewood /usr/share/koha/bin/maintenance/touch_all_items.pl
07:51 Joubu yes, it should work
07:57 cait it might be quicker to do a custom script if you have a lot of items
07:57 cait i think we did that once
07:57 cait but it does work, it just does more than you need
07:57 cait davewood: you could write your own class for generating the sorting form of the callnumber, it's pretty fleixble
07:59 cait davewood: before you run it, make sure that your items have items.cn_source set to what you want
07:59 cait 952$2
08:24 davewood so cn_sort is the source of truth for how opac-search.pl sorts results? ... I suppose the ES index has to be rebuilt which takes its values from cn_sort.
08:24 cait not oly the OPAC
08:24 cait inventory tool too for example
08:24 cait most callnumbers are not really sortable sensibly - having a sorting form or soem kind of processing is common in ILS
08:25 davewood ILS?
08:25 cait Integrated library systems
08:25 davewood integrated library systems
08:25 davewood wow, i guessed that correctly :)
08:26 cait I think you are right about indexing
08:26 davewood how can I make sure cn_sort for new items is generated "correctly?
08:26 cait you can sort it by sql
08:27 cait but Elastic might interpret it differently, I haven't worked on that yet
08:27 cait select cn_source, cn_sort, itemcallnumber from items order by cn_sort... check if it makes sense to begin with
08:43 cait depending on your callnumbers the results might not be perfect - most of ours are not using DDC or LOC, but have their own schemas, so we mostly use the generic one
08:50 cait davewood: ...^
08:51 davewood where can I select the ClassSortRoutine? ... i looked in /cgi-bin/koha/admin/preferences.pl?tab=searching but neither of the options make sense.
08:51 cait it has its own page
08:51 davewood cait: im still digging around, your input is very helpful though. :)
08:51 cait one second
08:51 cait go to adminsitration > classification configuration
08:52 cait for classification sources I recommend to set unused ones to "not in use"
08:52 cait that will make them not show up in cataloguing
08:53 cait in the pull down
08:53 davewood new intra interface doesnt have "administration > classification configuration" but i found it ...  DefaultClassificationSource
08:53 cait you can define your own, if you want
08:53 cait then you link it to a sorting and a splitting rule
08:53 cait it does have it
08:54 cait on the second column on the admin home page
08:54 cait I am looking at a 22.11 right now :)
08:54 cait you also want to set DefaultClassificationSource, but I was getting there later
08:54 cait /cgi-bin/koha/admin/classsources.pl
08:55 cait found it?
08:56 cait a classification sort is waht you set for the item when cataloguing, you will most likely use the same for all, the default and the "in use" setting help ensuring that new items are created correctly
08:56 cait a classiciation source is then linked to a filing rule - that defines how the cn_sort is generated
08:56 cait and to a splitting rule - that is used for printing labels
08:56 davewood hmm .. maybe if we use dots instead of commas in our itemcallnumbers the decimal classification does what we want.
08:56 cait by default Koha has 3 filing rules available - dewey, lcc and generic
08:57 cait the library might not like that :)
08:57 cait filing rules are really just some .pm files - I think it should be posible to make up your own
08:58 cait https://koha-community.org/man[…]ification-sources has some description of what the different filing rules do
08:59 cait when generating cn_sort

11:34 cait hi marcelr
11:43 Joubu marcelr: in case you want to have fun with C4::Auth again, have a look at bug 17427 ;)
11:43 huginn Bug https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]_bug.cgi?id=17427 normal, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, NEW , Replace CGI::Session with Data::Session
11:43 marcelr yes i saw it hit the queue :)
11:46 cait we use CAS (SSO and SLO) in a big project, but can't test easily - but if needed...

12:14 paulderscheid[m] @Joubu could you test the change on bug 33358 on your end? Not sure whether it works everywhere.
12:14 huginn paulderscheid[m]: I've exhausted my database of quotes
12:21 Joubu paulderscheid[m]: it does not seem to work
12:22 paulderscheid[m] Damn.
12:22 cait bug 33358
12:22 huginn Bug https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]_bug.cgi?id=33358 normal, P5 - low, ---, jonathan.druart+koha, Needs Signoff , Do not use editorconfig for vue files
12:23 paulderscheid[m] Maybe Pedro has an idea..
12:25 Joubu was it working for you?
12:26 tcohen hola #koha o/+
12:27 khall joined #koha
12:30 Joubu paulderscheid[m]: as we are forcing some config maybe we should actually add a vue entry to this file instead
12:31 paulderscheid[m] That’s the other option
12:32 paulderscheid[m] That was my first thought actually, but I thought I had beaten the syntax
12:38 Joubu looks like you cannot set trailing comma from editorconfig..
12:38 Joubu or even arrow parens
12:47 emlam joined #koha
12:51 paulderscheid[m] <Joubu> "was it working for you?" <- Yes, at least that's what I thought. You are also using the Volar extension, right?

12:54 Joubu apparently, yes
12:55 marie-luce joined #koha
13:02 alex_ joined #koha
13:06 paulderscheid[m] Maybe we should add prettier for formatting vue
13:11 alex__ joined #koha
13:12 cait y
13:46 alex_ joined #koha
13:54 paulderscheid[m] Sorry, was on lunch break
13:55 paulderscheid[m] That way we'd have more control over the style in which we want to format the vue files.

21:15 Chrisk Hello, I am testing a fresh upgrade install of koha on latest ubuntu server and getting an error on staging a test marc for import; fails in staging.  I did a tail *.log on the log folder, and I am wondering if someone is willing to give me an idea of where the problem is at>
21:15 Chrisk log output> "[Thu May 04 13:59:50.170349 2023] [cgi:error] [pid 2278] [client 10.6.1.75:55477] AH01215: The job has not been sent to the message broker: (Can't locate object method "throw" via package "Koha::Exceptions::Exception" (perhaps you forgot to load "Koha::Exceptions::Exception"?) at /usr/share/koha/lib/Koha/BackgroundJob.pm line 141.: /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-b​in/tools/stage-marc-import.pl, referer:

21:22 Chrisk no love?
21:23 Chrisk sheash
21:23 davidnind crispybran: not sure it is an "official" community resource, maybe some set it up to experiment? https://wiki.koha-community.or[…]te_Administration
21:24 davidnind Chrisk: it is normally a bit quieter here at this time of the/evening/night
21:25 Chrisk I see. when does the channel come to life?
21:25 davidnind I'm assuming you've set up Koha using packages, and are running 22.11.05 or .05
21:26 Chrisk Yes.
21:27 davidnind I don't run a production environment, so not really able to help - I normally use a development environment,  so a restart_all from the command line to restart all the services
21:28 davidnind I think it will be something to do with the RabbitMQ server, which is used I think to make the background jobs run
21:28 davidnind (but I am probably wrong)
21:30 davidnind Normally Europe time can be quite active, but around now there are still some people around (America/Canada/NZ) but tends to be a bit quieter...
21:31 Chrisk I noticed bywater test koha is running an older version of perl.  I've got it at : 5.034000
21:31 Chrisk They are 5.028
21:31 davidnind I would suggest posting to the general mailing list as well, with details of your version (from About Koha section in the staff interface) and how you installed
21:33 davidnind The development environment with master is using Perl 5.032001
21:34 davidnind See system requirements and recommendations https://wiki.koha-community.or[…]d_recommendations
21:36 Chrisk Thanks for sending those links over
21:36 davidnind Whatever version of Perl that came by default with one of the supported operating systems "should" be fine - Debian 10 and 11, and Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04
21:38 davidnind I'm sure I saw your error come up recently, on either IRC or the mailing list (but I can't find it now...), but I don't know what the solution was
21:38 Chrisk I think I will startup a new vm and run the koha install with the system defaults to see how it shakes up.  Thanks for the suggestion davidnind.
21:39 Chrisk Have a good one.
21:39 davidnind Maybe check under About Koha > Perl modules and System information tabs to see if anything is not right (using the package install should normally install all the required perl modules with the correct versions)

23:56 dcook Yikes... anyone have an issue in 22.11 of not being able to delete fields from a record?
23:57 dcook Ohhh or maybe it's these new record overlay rules..
