12:52 aw-bib[m] hello :)
12:53 caroline Weird... I have no internet, but IRC is working... good old technology!
12:53 aw-bib[m] hm, sounds more like you have no web ;
12:56 caroline my network icon has a ? on it, I don't have any new email (although that may be normal) and my work chat (desktop app) doesn't work either... Confused, but I won't spend mental resources on this :D I have local stuff I can work on, and I can chat with you folks :)
13:00 Annelisterman[m] In Finland we have this meme/joke where girl tells in Facebook that "Netti ei toimi!" (network is not working) and others try to help and ask how is she using Facebook if network is not working? She gets furiated and tells that "Facebook works but "netti ei toimi!!!".
13:01 aw-bib[m] caroline: I fear I have no idea how to help you but at least  I can confirm that I "hear" you loud and clear :)
13:04 caroline It's ok, I'm not really asking for help :) We have people on it (dns thing?) It's just a bit confusing... Netti ei toimi!?
13:05 tcohen[m] caroline: maybe DNS is not working, so established connections are still working

18:06 jalway I'm looking for someone who could answer a question regarding Authorized values.
18:06 jalway I've setup a custom Authority Value category, but I don't seem to be able to edit the description of the category.
18:08 jalway I am using the custom Authorized Value category for use with a report: https://wiki.koha-community.or[…]lection_by_Status
18:08 jalway It would just be nice to edit the description of the Authorized Value category.
18:09 caroline hi jalway, there is no way currently to add a description to an authorised value category
18:09 jalway I assume I just didn't set the description when I created the Authorized Value category. (Which I would have figured that I could have just edited afterwards.)
18:10 caroline No, you just can't. It's not a matter of when
18:10 jalway caroline, So, even when I set it up, it just isn't an option?
18:10 caroline nope. The descriptions that are there are hardcoded
18:10 caroline but there is no way to add user generated ones
18:10 caroline I was just looking at the bug for that yesterday...
18:11 jalway caroline, Thanks, should I add a bugzilla request?
18:11 caroline jalway, you can comment on bug 23861
18:11 huginn Bug https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]_bug.cgi?id=23861 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, NEW , Add authorised value categories description option
18:12 jalway Hmm..., perhaps I'll link that bug to a ticket with ByWater Solutions as well. Since, we recently fully switched to Koha with Local Host support from ByWater.
18:12 caroline I don't know how they work on enhancements, but if you can make it happen, that would be great!
18:13 tcohen[m] You should always let your provider know your needs, maybe they can help you with that bug, even if other people reported it
18:13 jalway Cool, I'll at least bug them about it. ;-)
18:13 caroline lol!
18:20 tcohen[m] what's your library jalway
18:27 jalway https://library.swau.edu/library
18:28 jalway I mean, you don't need the /library at the end, but I think that's some LibGuides mess. Possible to remove, maybe. But, it ain't broke. ;-)
18:37 jalway caroline, Thanks again for that. I've entered a ticket with ByWater Solutions and added a comment on the bugzilla.
18:37 caroline jalway, cool! thanks!
19:25 Squidy joined #koha
19:26 Squidy Hi there.. I setup a new installation and I'm trying to create a new authority, but I'm receiving Error 500
19:27 Squidy The log shows the following message
19:27 Squidy AH01215: Can't call method "get_effective_marcorgcode" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/catal​oguing/value_builder/marc21_orgcode.pl line 31.: /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-b​in/authorities/authorities.pl
19:27 Squidy Any idea?
19:28 caroline Squidy, not sure, but maybe check the MarcOrgCode system preference? Do you have a value in there?
19:29 Squidy caroline: Fill in the MARC organization code  OSt  by default in new MARC21 records (leave blank to disable). This can be also set on libraries level.
19:29 Squidy OSt
19:30 jalway caroline, bug-zilla inquiry resulted in a ask the community, do-it-yourself, or we can provide a cost estimate from ByWater Solutions. Not likely that we'll be pursuing the latter option.
19:31 caroline jalway, makes sense, they need to make money
19:32 caroline If it's not critical for you, you can wait until someone else finds it annoying enough to fix it
19:34 jalway caroline, Yeah, while I can code a little, write some scripts, and come up with some usable SQL Queries. It's not likely that I could take the DIY approach. It would take a very large time commitment from me to even think about it. Also, I find Perl to be horrific. Could just be that I never took a class dealing with it.
19:38 jalway Squidy, You can try looking in the MARC Code List for Organizations to see, if your Library/Organization has a designation. Ours is TxKnSWAU. https://www.loc.gov/marc/organ[…]ns/org-search.php
19:39 jalway Squidy, Did you enter your MARC Org Code in the 040?
19:41 caroline Squidy, does your library have a marc org code in Administration > Library? I'm not sure if it's looking for the library you are logged in at or the library in your patron file
19:42 fridolin joined #koha
19:44 tcohen[m] The error is not about the marcorgcode, but the object that should carry it
19:45 emlam Squidy, have you defined any libraries for your system yet?
19:46 caroline Is it possible to log in to Koha without libraries?
19:52 emlam that's a good question. I don't actually know much about installation...I just know how to search the code haha. And get_effective_marcorgcode doesn't take any inputs other than the library object that it's called from
19:53 emlam so the error sounds like the library object isn't defined
19:54 tcohen[m] What version is it?
19:56 Squidy I configured the library for my user and it worked
19:57 jalway Ah, that's interesting.
19:57 caroline Well, it answers the question if it's possible to log in without a library!
19:58 emlam Oh, interesting. Glad it's working!
21:02 jalway *Me complaining about the Patron Importer tool.*
