00:14 jmill2010 hi all
00:15 jmill2010 can patron categories be created for statistical purposes also?
00:15 jmill2010 besides circ policy purposes
00:16 chris how do you mean?
00:17 jmill2010 for example i've create a Student category... Can I instead create one for Graduate Students and another for Undergrad Students, just for stat purposes (as they would have the same permissions)?
00:17 chris yep, you can do anythin you like :)
00:17 chris you just need to set them up with the same policies
00:18 jmill2010 right
00:18 jmill2010 awesome
00:20 jmill2010 for stats i need to set up the stats wizard, am i right
00:20 chris ppl have written lots of good reports you can cut and paste into to the create report from sql bit
00:21 chris http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=sql_library
00:21 jmill2010 thanks very much :)
00:23 jmill2010 problem is i don't even know what sql is
00:23 jmill2010 :P
00:23 jmill2010 reading though...

09:03 jransom Chris: are you about by any chance?
09:05 jransom busy trying to price out the KohaCon road trip from Auckland to Wellington. Wondering if its only Americans who drive on the wrong side of the road
09:07 jransom and thinking maybe we just hire 4 seater cars and self drive ... NZ would be like a country drive compared to Paris I am sure :)

10:28 kmkale_ guyz any help with this?
10:29 kmkale_ hi all I am seeing a lot of these errors in koha-error_log koha version 3.00.05.003 no Zebra perl 5.010000 on ubuntu 9.10
10:29 kmkale_ circulation module is very slow as compared to other work in staff client
10:34 chris_n kmkale_: that error means that there is probably a variable which is undefined in the regexp matching pattern used at that line
10:34 chris_n it may or may not be the reason for the slowness
10:35 chris_n heya Jo
10:38 chris_n kmkale: it would appear a record or records is/are missing either a biblionumber or title
10:39 chris_n 2801: unless ($result{'__RAW__'}->{$_} =~ /$biblionumber,$title\-(\d);/) {
10:39 kmkale will it be the particular biblio I am trying to circulate?
10:39 chris_n it looks like part of a delete operation
10:40 kmkale its under that indexed block
10:40 chris_n or after modifying a bib
10:41 chris_n so I'd guess it is a corrupt bib or bibs
10:41 chris_n but that is just a guess; there may be others around later who could say more certainly
10:42 chris_n although noZebra is rapidly becoming depricated
10:42 chris_n Zebra is the preferred way to run even if you are small
10:42 * chris_n heads off to find breakfast

12:40 AndChat| I'm hyped up on steroids
12:40 AndChat| No rest here

12:41 chris_n yup, your standard nick was in your hostname when you came on channel

12:45 hilongo Ah! ... the technology .... :)

12:48 hilongo paul_p: Ok.... sorry to interrupt! :)
13:24 * chris_n waits for FF to recovery from its weekly crash :-Z
13:56 owen Hi schuster how's it going?
13:57 schuster Pretty good, just really busy and my boss is concerned about lots of stuff so micromanaging.
14:27 wizzyrea good morning
14:30 bgkriegel morning liz, almost noon here
14:30 wizzyrea er, good day?
14:30 wizzyrea ;)
14:30 bgkriegel :)
14:30 wizzyrea well it's 9:30 here, so mid-morning technically
14:30 owen Where are you bgkriegel?
14:31 bgkriegel Argentina
14:31 bgkriegel Cordoba
14:31 bgkriegel 11:30
14:32 * owen forgets how far east South America goes!
14:41 magnus g'day folks - geography is fun!
15:01 * gmcharlt waves at #koha from Portland
15:01 * chris_n waves back
15:02 * jwagner waves at everyone in general
15:02 * jwagner also everyone in Portland
15:05 owen What's in Portland gmcharlt, besides you?
15:05 gmcharlt owen: the public library association meeting
15:05 gmcharlt and bacon donuts
15:06 jwagner bacon donuts????
15:08 * chris_n asks gmcharlt to pass another bacon donut and some coffee his way
15:08 gmcharlt jwagner: http://blogs.liblime.com/developers/2008/03/31/koha-the-bacon-donut-ils/
15:16 jwagner Now I'm HUNGRY!!!!!!!!
15:17 wizzyrea good old atz
15:17 wizzyrea did you get to have one of these monstrosities gmcharlt?
15:18 gmcharlt wizzyrea: I had to visit a cardiologist after just looking at the picure, so no ;)
15:20 wizzyrea haha
15:20 chris_n lol :)
15:21 wizzyrea "bacon donuts are a sometimes food"
15:21 wizzyrea i.e. never
15:35 rhcl BTW, this is a good, Linux-based food item for your staff days.
15:35 rhcl http://blogs.liblime.com/developers/2008/03/31/koha-the-bacon-donut-ils/
15:36 rhcl ignore previous, wrong channel
15:42 owen Spreading the bacon donut gospel eh rhcl? Good man.
15:43 jwagner Now all we need is some mixture of eggs and coffee....
15:43 owen jwagner: Boy, you lost me there!
15:45 jwagner Just trying to reduce the Great American Breakfast to the smallest number of components. Donut+Bacon, Eggs+Coffee, etc.
15:45 jwagner (Not that I personally eat any of that for breakfast.)
15:46 owen You're making it too complicated. Everything goes on the donut. The coffee stays separate.
15:46 jwagner Hmmmm.... The idea has a certain attraction.....
15:46 * chris_n is careful to keep eggs and coffee separate while introducing them into his digestive tract
15:46 chris_n so we have a bacon-egg-cheese donut?
15:46 owen Why not add hash browns?
15:48 chris_n now I'm hungry... again :)
15:49 jwagner I normally hate fastfood breakfasts, but I've developed a shameful craving for McDonalds -- bacon, egg, & cheese McGriddle (pancake) sandwich.
15:50 owen From what I hear that's halfway to a donut sandwich itself
15:50 jwagner It's getting there
15:55 jwagner And with all that, I think I'll go get some lunch...
16:20 wizzyrea I like the new jquery site... comments on the documentation pages are really helpful
16:50 chris_n heya brendan
16:50 brendan hey chris_n
16:53 wizzyrea Si still on holiday?
16:53 wizzyrea (gentle prod about koha-community dns)
16:58 owen Not to mention channel ops?
17:02 wizzyrea well we'd have to kick everyone out to re-establish ops
17:02 wizzyrea or bounce the server
17:16 chris_n we need a channel server on the same box to maintain ops
17:16 * jwagner 's eyes are blurring -- I just read that as channel surfing to maintain cops....
17:53 chris_n wb nengard
17:54 wizzyrea nengard, still in the hospital?
17:54 nengard yes
17:54 nengard doc just left - i'm stuck here another night
17:54 wizzyrea oh nm just saw your tweet
17:54 wizzyrea do they know what's wrong?
17:57 nengard yeah - asthma
17:57 nengard that they've known all this time
17:57 nengard it's just an acute asthma attack that my lungs aren't jumping back from
17:58 wizzyrea :( do they know what triggered it?
18:01 chris_n so if I have a circ rule which allows two renewals for a given patron category, why would the renew column on the circ page show no renewals allowed?
18:02 * chris_n thinks we ought to report which rule is being applied to result in a failed renewal
18:02 wizzyrea erm, wrong itype?
18:02 nengard wizzyrea a sinus infection - a bad one
18:02 wizzyrea oh that suuuuucks
18:03 chris_n wizzyrea: well, this is the default rule and there is no rule for that itype
18:03 chris_n so shouldn't the default apply?
18:03 wizzyrea something is tickling..
18:03 * chris_n wonders if the rules code works correctly :(
18:03 wizzyrea there was a thing about the default rules
18:03 wizzyrea it's tickling my mind
18:04 wizzyrea like they weren't always applied
18:04 chris_n I'll create a rule for that itype and see if that fixes it
18:04 wizzyrea try adding a rule for your itype and see ... yea
18:04 * chris_n now has the privilege of being both a dev and user :P
18:04 wizzyrea oh dear lol
18:04 wizzyrea gl ;)
18:04 * owen notices from the log that munin` didn't pass on a message chris_n left for him
18:04 * owen wonders how he got on munin` 's bad side
18:05 chris_n poor owen
18:05 * chris_n admonishes munin` to be more kind like his nemesis munin
18:18 chris_n interesting... even with a specific rule, C4::Circulation->CanBookBeRenewed() fails to find a matching rule
18:51 chris_n wizzyrea: is there a bug open for the failure of the default rule to apply?
18:54 chris_n hmm... it appears to be a busted SQL statement
19:16 rhcl wizzyrea: would it be appropriate to have a link to the chat archives on koha-community.org???
19:27 wizzyrea oh sure
19:28 wizzyrea chris: I thought there was one
19:28 wizzyrea lemme look
19:29 wizzyrea er, chris_n
19:29 wizzyrea gerg, bugs.koha.org = slow
20:37 chris_n wizzyrea: if you find it, let me know, 'cause I fixed it :)
20:41 * chris_n finds it interesting that people now expect phone support from the community
20:44 wizzyrea !! is that something on the mailing list?
20:44 wizzyrea interestingly, there is a staffed wordpress pay-per-incident help line
20:44 wizzyrea that you can call
20:45 wizzyrea so I suppose the precedent for community help over the phone is there
20:45 * wizzyrea just gave up her million dollar idea.
20:46 wizzyrea chris_n I was thinking of this bug, which isn't quite the same
20:46 wizzyrea http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3785
20:46 munin` 04Bug 3785: critical, PATCH-Sent, ---, chris@bigballofwax.co.nz, ASSIGNED, New Install, no maxreserves setting, OPAC holds fail
20:47 wizzyrea but it might be this one
20:47 wizzyrea http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4123
20:47 munin` 04Bug 4123: critical, P5, ---, gmcharlt@gmail.com, NEW, Error in checking whether a checkout can be renewed
20:48 chris_n we could have a pay-per-incident phone support section of the site which randomly chooses a vendor
20:48 chris heh
20:48 wizzyrea ...
20:48 * chris_n tries to put the lid back on the can of worms now
20:48 wizzyrea that's actually quite brilliant
20:48 wizzyrea ez to do with google voice
20:48 wizzyrea or you all take a week
20:48 chris_n yup
20:48 wizzyrea not sure how it would work with overseas vendors
20:49 * chris_n thinks there are sufficient voip solutions to take care of that
20:49 chris timezones would kinda suck
20:49 chris_n a few asterisk servers in the proper locations
20:49 chris youd have to build in some knowledge about that
20:49 chris_n the "random" script could also handle timezone call routing
20:50 wizzyrea chris_n was that the bug?
20:50 * chris_n looks
20:50 wizzyrea the 2nd, not the first
20:51 chris_n yup
20:51 wizzyrea i win the internet. :D
20:51 chris_n colin's comment may be correct, but kyle's patch should be applied in the meantime
20:52 wizzyrea I like the usage of the term baroque in that
20:52 wizzyrea it's both baroque (old) and baroquen (broken)
20:52 * chris_n thinks many things are lacking in the circ rules, but hdl_laptop assures me there is a major fix/improvement in the offing
20:52 chris_n probably some of both :)
20:53 chris_n man, its past quitting time
20:53 chris_n and its Friday as well
