07:15 ashimema morning
07:16 ashimema I'm still on consents this morning marcelr.. I looked yesterday, but unfortunately had a bit more support land on my plate than I was expecting ☹️
07:17 ashimema it's definitely moving forward though.. I've made a few comments on the bugs.. added a few follow-ups to cookies consent and am working on the rebase and follow-ups to your bug that I feel are needed to get us over the finish line 🙂
07:17 ashimema great feature
07:17 marcelr hi ashimema ; great
07:17 ashimema I actually really really like the move to plugins.. whilst I love to see things in core.. I think the flexibility this leads to is fantastic.. I can see all sorts of uses for it.
07:18 marcelr about the pref, i also added it (cheating a bit) to make a simple condition possible in usermenu.inc instead of counting consent types constantly (performance)
07:18 ashimema it'll make pedro happy too.. he's very keen on the idea of koha core + plugins
07:18 ashimema Yeah.. I thought it might be performance related.. I'm sure we can cache the result to help with that.
07:19 marcelr we could do some styling to make the GDPR consent a bit more prominent again
07:19 marcelr and perhaps do a Save button for each consent ?
07:19 ashimema I was just wondering about the save button.. I kind of like it being one for all
07:19 marcelr then Cookie consent has no trouble
07:20 ashimema I'm still contemplating it a bit
07:20 marcelr ok
07:21 ashimema the jquery to pre-select radio buttons doesn't appear to be working.. I'm just trying to work out why
07:21 marcelr it has worked
07:21 ashimema I'm sure it has
07:21 ashimema I totally missed it was there at first to be honest
07:21 ashimema I have a patch here where I do it the old fashioned way in the template
07:21 ashimema then i spotted the jQuery and wondered what was going on
07:23 ashimema aha
07:23 ashimema content.type vs consent_type
07:23 marcelr nice catch
07:24 ashimema oh..
07:24 ashimema no.. you SET it in one loop.. but not in the other
07:24 ashimema red herring
07:26 marcelr preselect in document.ready and change in onclick ?
07:27 marcelr no i am looking at wrong spot
07:29 marcelr toggling consent info when user refuses
07:30 ashimema school run time.. bbiab
08:38 cait marcelr: as you are looking at a debarment related patch, there is also 29145 in the QA queue currently, not sure, but there coudl be a conflict
08:39 cait actually that one is already PQA
08:39 marcelr nice ;)
08:43 cait or not... but I have library really keen on the one in PQA
08:43 cait it already missed last release for conflicts
08:47 marcelr sure, we will give tomas a hard time choosing; normally he should push the older one first
08:47 cait we'll see
08:50 * PriyanshuSoni[m] uploaded an image: (12KiB) < https://matrix.org/_matrix/med[…]JSUbwKj/image.png >
08:51 PriyanshuSoni[m] I want to remove this "Home" wala portion, what source code i have to use?
09:28 cait why do you want to remove it?
09:28 cait but if you do, better to use jquery/CSS in the systempreferences for that
09:37 cait you shoudl not change the source code
09:37 cait usually there is another way of doing things
09:47 PriyanshuSoni[m] Actually i have to set something else on the main block, for that purpose i want to remove that for now.
09:50 cait you coudl just hide it using CSS, the page id and the id fro the breadcrumbs section
09:51 marcelr htg
09:56 PriyanshuSoni[m] <cait> "you coudl just hide it using CSS..." <- is there any coding for that? i tried but couldn't find.
10:01 cait what do you mean by coding? do you know CSS?
10:05 PriyanshuSoni[m] Yes, i know it.
10:12 ashimema marcelr.. did you consider translations for you consent types plugins?
11:02 cait PriyanshuSoni[m]: you can put CSS in the OpacUserCSS system preference
11:22 huberto joined #koha
11:28 huberto Hello everyone. I'm trying to call API methods after using OAuth authentication. Right now I am still using Postman to test requests. I am able to get the bearer token, but once I try to use it, I always get the "Authentication failure" error message while doing any kind of request.
11:28 huberto What are common pitfalls I should look for when using the API with OAuth?
11:29 PriyanshuSoni[m] <cait> "Priyanshu Soni: you can put..." <- I understand that, tried it but couldn't done. Can you help me with this?
11:39 oleonard PriyanshuSoni[m]: Do you want to hide the whole breadcrumbs menu or just the home link?
11:46 huberto I found my issue, I was missing "CGIPassAuth On" in my Apache site configuration file.
12:14 PriyanshuSoni[m] <oleonard> "Priyanshu Soni: Do you want to..." <- Just that home portion, that shows the navigation.
12:18 cait ashimema: the volumes patch makes my brain melt
12:19 tcohen[m] hi all
12:19 tcohen[m] didn't notice element wasn't running here
12:19 ashimema ?
12:19 ashimema marc volumes?
12:19 ashimema confused
12:19 tcohen[m] I was wondering how I was so focused in coding this morning :-P
12:23 cait tcohen: PM :)
12:23 cait ashimema: the patch you rbased for showing/hiding hte marc volumes link
12:23 cait you asked if 008 was needed and made me fall into a rabbit hole
12:23 ashimema lol
12:24 ashimema hugs
12:24 cait hmpf thx :)
12:38 oleonard pastes not coming through automatically?

14:06 ashimema 😄
14:07 jalway PriyanshuSoni[m]: There's also this plugin from bywater: https://bywatersolutions.com/e[…]ustomize-the-opac
14:07 jalway It has some interesting features that make customizing the opac a bit easier.
14:10 jalway That's kind of an older post, but we're using the galadriel plugin.
14:25 cait ashimema: ths took way too long... but I think it works not better than before
14:25 ashimema ?
14:26 cait show volumes
14:26 ashimema whats the bug number
14:26 cait 26314
14:29 ashimema oh.. does 'not' actually mean 'now' above
14:29 ashimema I thought you were about to fail it
14:29 cait oh yes.
14:29 cait I was to fail it but then I fixed it :D
14:29 ashimema hehe
14:31 ashimema thanks
14:32 cait thank you for the patch :)
14:32 ashimema do we still need the and ($materialTypeCode='ST' or substring($controlField008,22,1)='m') in the xslt?
14:33 ashimema `<xsl:if test="$show_volumes_link='1' and ($materialTypeCode='ST' or substring($controlField008,22,1)='m')">`
14:33 cait we could maybe remove them, but they don't hurt
14:33 ashimema ok
14:33 cait you already check for that... so maybe we don't need them
14:34 ashimema well.. I'm happy it's PQA
14:34 cait me too
14:34 cait sorry it took so long
14:34 ashimema no worries.. it happens
14:34 ashimema I really must concentrate on bookings some time soon 😧
14:35 ashimema been burning out a bit here lately
14:35 jalway This seem good for removing facet in search results?
14:35 jalway a[title="SAUORDER"] {display: none !important; }
14:35 jalway ^^Added to OPACUserCSS
14:37 jalway It seems to do exactly what I want, but just thinking about ways it could cause me troubles.
14:38 oleonard jalway: It looks good to me. It'll leave behind a little bit of padding from the link's container, but not very much
14:38 oleonard jalway: You could add more specificity if you wanted more insurance against the rule applying to something else
14:39 oleonard for instance .facet-label a[title='SAUORDER"]
14:40 jalway I like that, I'll do that.
14:41 jalway oleonard: Thanks!
14:41 oleonard You bet!
14:42 cait oleonard++  :)
14:50 cait oleonard: would you be opposed to adding the advanced search in acq to the navigation?
14:50 cait the other option woudl be adding it to the start page like in serials... and I woudl like that, but we already have some other content there
14:51 oleonard The orders search?
14:51 cait libraries use it a lot, but need 3 clicks to open it
14:51 cait you go acquisitions > oders search > config icon > advanced search link
14:51 cait yes
14:52 oleonard That sounds like a good idea to me
14:52 cait for serials we added the similar thing to the start page
14:52 cait which one?
14:52 oleonard Adding the link
14:52 cait woudl adding it to the start page be too much change?
14:52 cait it would give us consistency with serials...
14:52 cait but not with patrons i guess
14:53 cait hm we do have the filters in patrons on start page
14:53 cait serials formon the start page was quite a hit - that's why I was asking
14:53 oleonard It really depends on how people are using acquisitions. I don't have a good sense of people's workflow
14:54 cait caroline: around maybe?
14:54 caroline yes
14:54 ashimema does anyone fully grok acquisitions 😜
14:54 ashimema I know I don't
14:54 cait I think we do work quit ea bit with it and this is feedback from mulitple trainings at least
14:55 cait caroline: did you see the question or want me tosummarize?
14:55 ashimema we keep talking about a mass cleanup there at ptfs-e... most of our customers really don't like it and sales staff hate demoing it...
14:55 oleonard Of the top of my head I imagine a form on the acquisitions home page like the vendor search form, but with a reduced set of fields but with a link to the full form
14:55 cait better visibility/less clicks to advanced search in acq
14:55 ashimema but.. any time I've really asked for what's wrong with it.. it's another case of they can't think of anything better
14:55 caroline let me check, but at first glance I would say go for it
14:55 cait or maybe a "more" link to unfold?
14:55 cait caroline: start page or navigation?
14:55 caroline What are the options?
14:55 caroline ok let me go to the page
14:55 ashimema both 😜
14:55 cait I was pondering if we coudl give access right on the start page of acq, similar to patrons and serials
14:56 cait it hink if we had on start page we don't necessarily need the lin, because the home link would get you there
14:57 caroline The thing is that with serials, there was nothing on the page, so it was easy to just put the search there
14:57 caroline but in acq, the page is pretty full already
14:57 cait that's the issue yes
14:57 cait bug 33662 btw
14:57 huginn Bug https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]_bug.cgi?id=33662 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, NEW , Improve visibility of acq advanced search
14:58 caroline I would add a link in the nav along with late order, suggestions, invoices, etc
14:58 cait I might do the link? and we give this some more thought?
14:58 cait ok
14:58 cait will do that then
14:58 caroline and I would probably also add a search bar under 'Manage orders'
14:58 jalway We've been using acquisitions for a long time. That sounds like a nice kind of thing.
14:58 caroline with a link to adv search
14:59 cait hm don't get the second part
14:59 cait Manage orders?
14:59 cait where do you mean?
14:59 cait oh there
14:59 cait it#s a bit of a double up already with the top one... isn#t it?
15:00 caroline on the acq main page, there is a section called 'Manage orders' but there is only a vendor search there... I think an orders search bar could logically go there also
15:00 caroline I mean, the vendor search is also doubled up
15:00 caroline the main search at the top is vendor search and it is also under manage orders
15:00 cait true, but not sure if title/vendor are realyl the most important fields there
15:00 cait yeah
15:01 oleonard cait: Do you think users would want the whole form there by default? it's big
15:01 cait it is - maye we could make it 2 columns?
15:01 cait it's very narrow
15:01 cait I am not sure what I would leave off on first glance
15:02 cait I think I might start with the link and we can keep the discussion open? it would already save 2 clicks
15:03 caroline I think the link in the left nav bar is a great first step, and maybe wait for feedback
15:03 caroline it's easy to add and doesn't disrupt anything too much
15:04 reiveune bye
15:04 reiveune left #koha
15:05 jalway That advanced search feature is kind of hard to find . . .
15:07 cait caroline++ oleonard++ thx :)
15:11 oleonard cait: Here it is with the whole form, two columns: https://snipboard.io/sIeRGL.jpg
15:12 oleonard We could change the "manage orders" heading to "Search vendors" if we wanted to keep it.
15:12 cait it would be more accurate
15:12 cait I wonder if these should go on top
15:12 cait a lot of actions in koha start with searching the vendor
15:14 oleonard https://snipboard.io/0q32gN.jpg
15:15 cait it feels better - caroline - what do you think?
15:16 caroline at first glance I find it a bit big
15:16 caroline but I definitely prefer the vendor search at the top
15:17 oleonard caroline: How about now? :D https://snipboard.io/5Uy9A4.jpg
15:17 caroline LOL!
15:17 cait I am just writing the test plan for the link heh
15:17 cait did you just make the screenshot smaller?
15:17 oleonard Yes
15:18 caroline I was thinking to maybe remove a couple of fields and add a link to the histsearch page?
15:18 cait which should we remove?
15:18 cait I i am not sure if it#s as useful then...
15:18 cait hard.
15:19 cait maybe we shoudl put the screenshot somewhere and ask around?
15:19 caroline I would leave maybe title, author, isbn, vendor and basket
15:20 cait i think invoicenumber... order line number
15:20 cait too
15:20 cait we need stats on the most searched ones :)
15:20 caroline I think those are the basic order information... after that I don't think it would be unexpected to click an "advanced search" link to search more advancedly ;)
15:21 caroline I'll ask marie-luce, maybe she has an opinion
15:22 cait I submitted the link patch for now as it was already written - but I think it's a good discussion to have
15:22 cait usability in acq is not great
15:23 marie-luce joined #koha
15:23 marie-luce Hi everyone
15:24 ashimema what level do we try to get to now regards HTML Validators?
15:24 ashimema html4, html5?
15:24 ashimema transitional?
15:24 cait i thought xhtml
15:24 * ashimema can't work it out from the coding guidelines
15:24 cait joking
15:24 cait html5 i think
15:25 ashimema the w3 validator doesn't like all our training />
15:28 cait caroline: what do you think about bug 28224? :)
15:28 huginn Bug https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]_bug.cgi?id=28224 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, NEW , Make date range for order search configurable
15:28 cait or marie-luce?
15:28 cait we find that one year is not logn enough, especially with standing orders
15:29 caroline You're talking about the From / To fields?
15:29 cait I woud like to make it configurable
15:29 cait yes
15:29 caroline like with a syspref?
15:29 cait I think yes
15:30 cait at elast that's what I could achive the easiest
15:30 cait i wonder what is better, "x years" or a hard date?
15:30 cait days seems a bit overkill
15:30 cait a date would need to be adjusted frequently - but woudl be most flexible
15:30 caroline not a hard date I don't think... you would need to go change it no?
15:31 marie-luce a date range search would definitely improve sear
15:31 caroline I would copy the one for holds to pull
15:31 cait le tme check that one
15:31 caroline x days back
15:31 cait but that's a lot of days :)
15:31 cait but yes, I coudl do that I think
15:31 caroline yes, the default would be 365
15:31 cait and keep the current behaviour if empty
15:32 caroline and people could put 720 or whatever 365*2 is, etc
15:32 cait they might not match up as nicely then with beginning/end of year then
15:32 cait but it gives a lot of flexiblity
15:32 cait (because years have different numbers of days)
15:33 caroline I don,t think people will complain for a one day difference (although I could be surprised... people complain for the smallest things sometimes)
15:33 cait I'll keept he curent behaviour if empty... i think we should be on the save side then I hope
15:34 caroline Did you find the one for holds? HoldsToPullStartDate
15:35 cait yep
15:35 cait i am thinking
15:35 cait OrdersSearchFromDate ?
15:35 caroline yeah that's good
15:36 caroline I still have ads in finnish XD https://snipboard.io/xc2o40.jpg
15:36 cait heh
15:49 marie-luce funny :D
15:49 marie-luce sorry, I'm back
15:50 marie-luce about the order search form https://snipboard.io/0q32gN.jpg
15:54 cait *curious*
15:55 marie-luce The option directly in the acquisition page is practical, but I would prefer seeing less search fields. Maybe we could hide and unfold certains fields
15:55 cait I woudl like a less/more
15:56 marie-luce yes, it would be easier to see the others features
15:58 marie-luce What is the different in the code? Which option is less complicated to code?
15:58 cait not sure I could do it right now
15:58 oleonard The "more" link could just point to histsearch.pl
15:59 cait it's probably the easisest... could we pass on already filled out options?
15:59 oleonard Probably! :D
15:59 caroline I was thinking about that, do we still need that page (histsearch) if the form is all on the main page?
15:59 oleonard histsearch.pl is also the search results page, so yes
15:59 cait we have kept it in serials, but I have been wondering there too
15:59 cait ah ok
15:59 caroline ok!
16:00 oleonard I think the only difficult question is which fields to keep in the brief version of the form
16:00 cait I'll rename the link in a bit - working on bug 28224 still
16:00 huginn Bug https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]_bug.cgi?id=28224 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, katrin.fischer, NEW , Make date range for order search configurable
16:09 oleonard cait is there a bug for adding the full search form to acqui-home?
16:11 cait if we keep the link patch around, we shoudl file a new one i think
16:11 cait the link is on 33662
16:11 cait or I coudl move the link and keep that one for the general question?
16:11 cait I am just getting back to that one, what do you prefer?
16:13 oleonard I don't see why we can't have a link in the sidebar and a form on acqui-home, so a separate bug is appropriate
16:13 cait ok
16:13 cait I can file it
16:13 cait i need to do some clean-up :)
16:13 cait give me 10?
16:13 oleonard Of course, no rush
16:14 cait bug 28224 is ready for testing

16:21 cait thx for helping and discussing :)
16:38 oleonard Batch patron modification broken? 'Can't call method "category_code" on an undefined value'
16:38 cait hups
16:39 cait do you have a patron without category?
16:39 cait I'll test in mine, sec
16:39 cait I have the same - looks broken
16:40 cait it looks like it might have to do with the attributes
16:40 cait # If this borrower is not in the category of this attribute, we don't want to modify this attribute
16:40 cait 407:             next if $attr_type->category_code and $attr_type->category_code ne $patron->categorycode;
16:40 cait 408:
16:40 cait if the patron attribute pull down is left empty - if I select something, the error is not there
16:40 cait can you confirm?
16:41 oleonard Confirmed
16:42 cait can you file?
16:42 cait I think i have an idea bout the bug which broke it
16:42 cait looking
16:43 cait 27106
16:43 cait hm ok not that one
16:43 cait i think i confused it with bug 34257
