07:25 gaetan_B   hello
07:25 wahanui    hello, gaetan_B
07:47 ashimema   random question..
07:47 wahanui    random question.. is there anywhere in koha that uses editable datatables?
07:47 ashimema   does the dashboard keep any history?
07:48 ashimema   monkey.. scroll down! :(
07:48 * ashimema feels stupid now
07:55 marcelr    @later tell khall "Could you please give some feedback on report 13049? What was the idea behind the temporary category?"
07:55 huginn     marcelr: The operation succeeded.
08:52 alex_a     bonjour
08:52 wahanui    kia ora, alex_a
11:31 marcelr    thx khall; will have a look at your comments
12:12 oleonard   Hi #koha
12:13 marcelr    hi oleonard
12:21 quocuy     hi everyone
12:51 brendan_   hola I am back
12:58 ashimema   what are people thoughts about angular making it into koha?
12:58 ashimema   for staff client at least
13:00 oleonard   ashimema: The only way to answer that is to show how it would be useful
13:01 ashimema   well, I'm working on a number of proofs of concept at the moment.
13:02 ashimema   but it's a paradigm shift..
13:02 ashimema   angular is all about single page applications (which I feel koha is actually rather well suited to)..
13:02 ashimema   I wouldn't make the entire staff client an SPA, but rather a series of SPA's..
13:03 ashimema   Patrons and Cataloging are two fantastic examples of where it would be awesome.
13:04 oleonard   I think you'd have to show that such change would *not*: - make the staff client less accessible - make it less translatable - make it harder to maintain - make it slower
13:04 ashimema   at the moment when your viewing a patron record, each tab on the left is an entirely new page with associated scripts and templates.. that seems crazy to me..
13:04 ashimema   having each tab as an angular view would mean less page load, more responsiveness and tidier code.
13:05 ashimema   I'll finish this prototype and see what people think
13:05 * oleonard hasn't really looked at angular so he can't comment on it in itself
13:06 jcamins    ashimema: my thought is that it's way too much trouble for the benefits it would offer.
13:06 ashimema   I don't think it would affect translatability at all, it would increase speed and maintainability and i have no idea how it would affect accessability.
13:06 ashimema   for 'new' stuff it would make coding a pleasure again ;)
13:07 brendan_   see I’d be into that ashimema
13:07 marcelr    jcamins: hi; could you have a look at my comment on bug 7419?
13:07 huginn     04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7419 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, jcamins, Needs Signoff , Add authority deduplication script
13:07 ashimema   but yeah.. would be allot of work to convert existing stuff.. but then it would be easier to convert stuff to angular than to manually write custom ajax cruft like we are doing for a number of tables already
13:07 brendan_   that’s true
13:08 brendan_   I’ve liked the angular stuff for awhile now
13:08 ashimema   angular is awesome.. i'm using it in another app and it's a pleasure to work with..
13:08 ashimema   quite a change of coding style though..
13:09 ashimema   well i'll keep working on this proof of concept for now..
13:09 ashimema   we're adding Inter Library Loans (currently only for the british library api, but it should be adaptable to any other api's relatively easily, if any exist that is ;) )
13:09 jcamins    marcelr: sure!
13:10 marcelr    thx
13:13 brendan_   nice ashimema
13:16 quocuy     Hi eveyone
13:17 quocuy     anyone is here?
13:17 oleonard   khall around?
13:17 quocuy     Can i ask one question?
13:17 quocuy     Olenard
13:18 oleonard   quocuy: You can always ask a question. If someone knows the answer they may give it to you.
13:18 quocuy     I added a slider to Koha header. It works fine in theme PROG, but when i changed to boostrap, it does not work
13:18 quocuy     demo here: http://test.dreamlib.vn and http://small.dreamlib.vn
13:21 quocuy     So how can i make this slider work in boostrap theme? Is it an issue with css?
13:24 oleonard   Sorry quocuy I don't know
13:24 oleonard   I would recommend testing with a configuration which didn't have any other JavaScript or CSS customizations so that you can confirm the error is just with the slider
13:25 oleonard   I think you may be having problems because of duplicate jQuery libraries, but I'm not sure why it works in the prog theme but not the Bootstrap theme
13:25 quocuy     yeah
13:26 quocuy     let me make some searches on google
13:26 * jcamins  would offer the following advice to those people who want to work with developers and librarians: don't screw up your attribution statement for iconic xkcd comics.
13:32 oleonard   You gonna name and shame jcamins?
13:32 jcamins    oleonard: IBM.
13:33 ashimema   is pianohacker likely to be around any time soon?
13:33 jcamins    In a marketing presentation, they credit the "Compiling!" comic to someone I'd never heard of.
13:34 paul_p     hey ! finally got internet !
13:36 brendan_   hola paul_p
13:38 Joubu      Hi khall ;)
13:38 khall      good day Joubu!
13:38 khall      hey'ya tcohen!
13:39 khall      Joubu: You should take another look at bug 13019 again. I've implemented pretty much all your suggestions
13:39 huginn     04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=13019 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, kyle, Needs Signoff , Add base classes on which to build Koha objects
13:39 khall      tcohen: I'd love to get your input as well
13:39 khall      I think this is more the route you wanted to see us take.
13:40 Joubu      khall: yep, I saw it! I cannot promise you to have a look soon, but I will try!
13:41 khall      thanks! whenever you can find the time! I know time is hard to find ; )
13:43 jcamins    khall: I glanced at that bug report, and I couldn't quite figure out what the benefit of an overly complex inheritance hierarchy was based on the report. Do you think you could clarify why a Koha::Object class is necessary?
13:44 quocuy     Hi cait
13:44 khall      jcamins: the idea to start with is to encapsulate dbic while retaining a standard OO model. There are many other benefits that I should really be writing down. Here's a good one:
13:45 paul_p     khall = Joubu & tcohen presenting sandboxes to argentinian librarians. Should be back in half an hour or so
13:45 khall      1) By having something to inherit from we can have a standard set of methods that will always work the same no matter what type of object you are working with
13:47 khall      2) This is a way to fix our schema over time. Think of biblio/biblioitems. Imagine the size of the patch needed to fix this in one fell swoop. We can hide our broken schema by having Koha::Biblio act as both. Once all the code uses Koha::Biblio objects, we can fix the schema and update one file
13:49 khall      3) We can provide simple easy linkages. Need a patrons checkouts? Need a Biblio's items? This is easy with this model and avoids using DBIC in pl files. Everything is encapsulated nicely. We could tear out DBIC and replace it with something else and the calling code would be none the wiser
13:50 jcamins    Right... I'm not seeing how Koha::Object provides this any more than a set of coding guidelines would?
13:52 khall      Where in the guidelines do we have anything about how to add modules or how methods should work? Instead of the need for documentation that everyone may or may not remember to check, by having something to use as a base we get that automatically.
13:53 jcamins    We don't at the moment, but we could.
13:54 khall      If perl5 had interfaces, that would be another alternative, but why should we reinvent the wheel every time we need a new class?
13:55 cait       ashimema: around?
13:55 ashimema   am now
13:56 khall      Right now our module subroutines try to do way to much all at once, this leads to bugs. I see this as a model for building much simpler, more stable, less bug prone and more easily tested code.
13:56 jcamins    What's making me dubious is the fact that you have to use an additional AUTOLOAD in order to get the functionality you want, instead of being able to just use the already-provided bits from DBIC.
13:56 cait       i am trying to finish shibboleth - care to give me a push? :)
13:56 jcamins    It seems like any functionality beyond what DBIC already offers would have to be implemented on each class anyway?
13:57 khall      jcamins: we *could* just use what DBIC has. I'm not against that, but I added the autoload specifically so we could hide the dbic stuff. We don't want to have a method returning dbic stuff.
13:57 ashimema   paul_p.. wicked that sandboxes are coming up..
13:57 khall      with the idea that dbic in pl is verboten
13:57 ashimema   also glad to have been able to start contributing to them.
13:58 tcohen     morrrrning
13:59 tcohen     hi jcamins ashimema
13:59 tcohen     missing you here
13:59 jcamins    khall: okay, so the idea with Koha::Object is explicitly that it's reimplementing the DBIC functionality. I was thinking that I was misunderstanding something since that's what I thought it was doing.
13:59 jcamins    Thanks.
13:59 khall      jcamins: yes. The issue at had is "can we use dbic from pl scripts". I've written two proofs on concept for bug 12892, one using DBIC and one using encapsulation.
13:59 huginn     04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12892 major, P5 - low, ---, kyle, Signed Off , Holds Waiting: not showing from check out screen
14:00 paul_p     Joubu ^ (when you're back)
14:00 khall      jcamins: bug 13030 is a good example of where this useful
14:00 huginn     04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=13030 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, kyle, Needs Signoff , Show waiting hold expiration date for waiting holds on circulation.pl
14:06 khall      jcamins: another huge benefit is if our code passes objects around instead of table id's we'll reduce our db access greatly
14:09 oleonard   khall: Have you ever tried applying one of our custom sort algorithms to a server-side DataTable?
14:09 ashimema   I'm working on some proof of concept code using khall objects too jcamins..
14:09 ashimema   happy to share once there's som more meat on their bones.
14:09 * oleonard is trying to make it work without success
14:10 khall      oleonard: I don't think I have. Any idea's on how to mesh the two? I'm thinking we need to pass the sorting algorithm to the server-side service
14:10 khall      or have dual implementations one in perl, one in js
14:11 khall      or even better, move to only ajax datatables ; )
14:12 ashimema   I think for serverside datatables the sort will also need to be done serverside.
14:12 ashimema   that's my understanding when i last looked at least.
14:12 rangi      tcohen: are the students who found the bugs with the display of titles here?
14:12 tcohen     don't think so
14:12 khall      yep. I bet there's a way to slurp all the data via ajax and have paging/sorting all done client side, but that'd way less efficient
14:12 tcohen     need to ask the women talking
14:15 oleonard   khall and ashimema, when you say serverside sort you mean the MySQL query itself?
14:15 khall      yep
14:15 ashimema   well.. sorta.. depends how the serverside stuff works already..
14:15 khall      or from the perl code
14:15 ashimema   what he just said..
14:16 oleonard   That's not going to work if we want to continue to be able to use a custom array of articles to ignore when sorting by title
14:16 khall      oleonard: we should be able to implement that in perl
14:16 ashimema   I've seen datatables where they slurp the whole datastrcuture from the database in one hit.. then sorts, paging etc are all done in memory on the datastructure in perl.
14:17 ashimema   but then i've also seen serverside datatables that just convert datatables requests to the corresponding mysql query and return that..
14:17 khall      yep. It'd be best to do it at the db level if possible
14:17 ashimema   it works both ways.. if you have the memory, then the code way is usually faster.
14:17 ashimema   at lest in my testing a while back it was.
14:18 tcohen     rangi: did they ask you to do the haka thing for the interview?
14:18 rangi      hehe no
14:18 tcohen     heh, pity
14:18 oleonard   Well, I'm disappointed that a sorting feature which was working before is broken now :(
14:19 khall      ashimema: that's good to know
14:19 ashimema   which table oleanard
14:19 ashimema   which table oleonard
14:19 khall      checkouts table perhaps?
14:19 oleonard   circulation, moremember, and manage-marc-import
14:20 oleonard   Okay manage-marc-import wasn't sorted before so not that one
14:20 oleonard   But I /want/ it to work there :)
14:20 khall      I think we can come up with something!
14:20 ashimema   indeed..
14:20 khall      Have you filed a bug report yet?
14:21 ashimema   I shouldn't be too hard to impliment it using sql
14:21 oleonard   I'll file one now
14:21 ashimema   I see a 'NOT LIKE "%stuff%"' style query coming along
14:28 ashimema   you happy to take that on khall, or shall I once the bug is filed..
14:28 khall      I'd be willing, but it sounds like you may be more experienced

14:28 ashimema   ok.. i'll take a quick look.

15:01 reiveune   bye
15:02 gaetan_B   bye
15:04 cait1      finally got to it - ashimema - shib patches still apply
15:05 ashimema   awesome!
15:05 wahanui    That'll be $1 for the awesome jar, ashimema
15:06 ashimema   oleonard.. did you already work on fixing this DataTables stuff..
15:06 ashimema   I'm really confused.. as 'everything' is handled clientside with these tables..
15:06 ashimema   the ajax call is only there to allow delaying load/asynchronous loading of the table data itself..
15:07 oleonard   ashimema: I tried without success to get a custom sorting alogrithm to work with an AJAX datatable. I asked khall about it in case he knew whether or not it was possible.
15:07 ashimema   sorting, paging etc are all being left to clientside and the entire dataset is being loaded in one hit.. so surely it 'should' still work out of the box.?
15:07 ashimema   I was assuming that the sorting was 'already' hitting the server..
15:08 ashimema   the 'real' point of serverside Datatables is to allow for 'hard work' to be done serverside..
15:08 ashimema   we're not actaully doing that.
15:08 oleonard   ashimema: For instance, I tried adding this to the configuration of the manage-marc-import DataTables initialization:
15:08 oleonard   "aaSorting": [[1,'asc']], "aoColumnDefs": [ { "sType": "anti-the", "aTargets": [ 1 ] } ]
15:08 * cait1    reports login and logout are still working too
15:09 ashimema   k.. I'll continue to play then..
15:09 ashimema   but this is less trivial than i initially thought..
15:09 ashimema   thanks oleonard
15:09 oleonard   ashimema: The "aaSorting" config option works--the correct column is sorted. But the
15:09 oleonard   "anti-the" algorithm is not used.
15:09 ashimema   how very strange..
15:10 ashimema   I almost wonder if that's a bug in datatables..
15:10 ashimema   automatically disabling such stuff when the useAjax is present.
15:13 cait1      actually i found a bug ashimema:P
15:13 cait1      Shibboleth Login <<
15:13 ashimema   really ?
15:13 ashimema   huh
15:13 rangi      if there is a bug, cait1 will find it, thats why we keep reelecting her :)
15:14 pablito    hi everyone
15:14 cait1      maybe you ljust like to keep me busy so i don't start causing trouble elsewhere
15:14 cait1      ashimema: can i just add that to the last patch?
15:14 pablito    hi cait1 :-)
15:14 ashimema   sure..
15:15 ashimema   thanks.
15:15 rangi      tcohen: can you have a look at the last comment on bug 12005

15:15 rangi      please
15:15 rangi      and Joubu too, id just like some opinions
15:15 tcohen     of course :-D
15:15 cait1      ashimema: hopefully going to pass it today, don't worry :)
15:16 * ashimema does the happy dance
15:16 cait1      we got the wiki page for installation insturctions, right?
15:16 ashimema   i beleive we wrote one yeah..
15:16 cait1      lol
15:17 pablito    can someone help me with an issue with automatic barcode generation?
15:17 pablito    I am importing records into koha and I would like Koha to auto-generate a barcode for each record.  Is this possible in 3.16?
15:19 brendan_   hmm not during the import
15:19 pablito    brendan_, how would auto generate the barcodes after the import?
15:20 pablito    *I
15:20 brendan_   add an item to it and then the barcode should autogenerate the next available barcode - but then you’d have to do that for every single record you imported
15:20 rangi      thank you tcohen
15:21 cait1      ashimema: should the tests pass on a random install without shib config?
15:21 brendan_   pablito: I think khall may have written a plugin for that awhile ago
15:21 ashimema   erm... i believe so..
15:21 ashimema   which one is failing?
15:21 brendan_   but otherwise you’ll have to do that barcode work outside of koha - try marcedit
15:21 brendan_   MARCedit
15:21 wahanui    rumour has it MARCedit is a tool for editing MARC records. It can also convert spreadsheets to MARC. See http://people.oregonstate.edu/~reeset/marcedit/html/index.php
15:21 cait1      waiting for the suite to finihs, sec
15:22 ashimema   oleonard.. I just added '"sType": "anti-the"' to checkouts.js and it's working perfectly for me..
15:23 khall      oleonard: I'm finding the marc preview in manage-marc-import.pl is broken in master, have you seen that at all?
15:23 pablito    I have done it via MarcEdit before, though it would be a great feature if Koha can do it at import
15:24 pablito    ok, thank you, brendan_
15:25 pablito    also, is there a way to find the latest generated barcode?
15:26 oleonard   ashimema: Okay, I didn't try modifying that one.
15:26 pablito    I can use this latest barcode as the starting point for the following codes
15:26 oleonard   Am I correct that if you pass C4::Branch::GetBranches a branch code it will return only your logged-in branch?
15:28 ashimema   not trying to prove you wrong or anything oleonard.. I woudln't be surprised if this is an issue elsewhere that I've not spotted yet..
15:28 ashimema   I would almost put money on it in fact..
15:28 ashimema   but I can't repeat it yet..
15:28 ashimema   I'll take a look at the other tables.. see if I can find any issues in them..
15:32 cait       i am back
15:32 cait       ashimema: still here?
15:32 wahanui    here is, like, where I work
15:33 brendan_   I’m back

15:43 ashimema   oh fun..
15:43 ashimema   how does one go about swapping from a mocked DBI to a Mocked DBIx::Class :(
15:44 ashimema   well spotted cait.. my tests do indeed fail now..
15:44 ashimema   thuogh in fact it's a failure due to the test mocking rather than a 'real' failure.
15:44 ashimema   :(
16:05 ashimema   which brings me back again to why do we initiate a new Koha::Database connection for every use of dbic..
16:05 ashimema   mwah.
16:07 ashimema   I take that back.. it just made some sense again.
16:26 oleonard   ashimema: Your change to checkouts.js works for me but I can't a similar change working in manage-marc-import.tt
16:27 ashimema   shall I take a look?
16:27 ashimema   thanks for the update oleonard
16:27 ashimema   for anyone interested.. I just found a lovely module for testing dbic..

16:30 oleonard   ashimema: It's not urgent, but I'm certainly curious why it's not working for me.
16:30 oleonard   manage-marc-import.tt line 38: { "mDataProp": "citation", "sType": "anti-the" },
16:30 ashimema   worth posting what you've tried to a patch on that same bug?
16:50 khall      oleonard: I'm out of the loop but that table *does* do server side sorting
16:52 khall      oleonard: I've got bug 10632 fixed up if you care to have a look at it
16:52 huginn     04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=10632 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, kyle, Needs Signoff , Enable datatables for courses and course details in the OPAC
16:52 oleonard   Okay khall
16:53 oleonard   khall: See ashimema's patch on Bug 13054 to see what I'm trying to do with manage-marc-imports.tt
16:53 huginn     04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=13054 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, NEW , Allow server-side sorting by title to ignore custom sets of articles
16:53 ashimema   cool..
16:54 ashimema   I'll have a play with manage-marc-import later this evening.. unless your going to khall
16:54 * ashimema has to eat first though ;)
16:54 khall      oleonard: I think getting it to work for manage-marc-import will be more up ashimema's alley. It'll require doing what we thought we'd need to do for the checkouts table
16:55 khall      I'm crushed for time atm or i'd do it
16:55 khall      we should be able to an anti-the sort routine in perl at the very least
16:55 ashimema   indeed..
16:55 ashimema   k, i'll take a punt
16:56 ashimema   foooood...
16:57 khall      heh, oleonard ping me when you sign 13054, though saying I'll qa it barely means anything for a one liner ; )
16:58 ashimema   I was thinking I'd probably fix manage-marc-imports under the same bug khall ;)
16:58 khall      ahh, that's fine by me!
16:58 ashimema   give you somthing more concrete to qa ;)
16:59 khall      heh, thanks ; )
16:59 oleonard   ashimema: If your fix is client-side then we should create a new bug for it, perhaps even closing 13054 as invalid
17:00 ashimema   indeed, your bug is about serverside.. just the example in the bug istelf is bad as that's a clientside one ;)
17:35 martian523 i was looking up a problem in my koha, and found this in the bugzilla reports "Bug 5262 - authority plugin doesn't copy indicators"
17:35 huginn     04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5262 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, januszop, RESOLVED FIXED, authority plugin doesn't copy indicators
17:36 martian523 is there a patch for this already?
17:39 martian523 another question.  my library consists or chinese titles, after upgrading to 3.14, there's a problem when doing a search with chinese characters
17:39 oleonard   martian523: It was considered fixed in 3.10.11.
17:41 martian523 this problem is i  would have to put a space in between each chinese character in order for koha to search it as a string, this problem didn't exist before the upgrade
17:47 khall      If there is anyone who has time to test bug 13020 this is a problem for a number of our partners. I imagine it's at least an annoyance for many others
17:47 huginn     04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=13020 normal, P5 - low, ---, kyle, Needs Signoff , Checkouts table default ordering is incorrect
17:48 wnickc     khall: I tried, I didn't see the misordering though
17:50 khall      hmm, did you follow the test plan? You didn't find that the items didn't show in reverse chronological order
17:50 khall      ?
17:51 nengard    kohacon hackfest folks feel free to test the new professional cataloging interface :)
17:53 wnickc     i checked in  2,1,3 and the results from top to bottom were 3 1 2 - but i didn't see a change after applying, happy to restest though
17:57 oleonard   It works for me wnickc, I'm signing off
17:58 wnickc     okay, my bad
18:05 ashimema   I think i'm going to bite the bullet and make my shib tests database dependant..
18:05 ashimema   as muhc as it pains me after the work I did to mock them in the first place!
18:20 n          Hello there, I am trying out Koha for a small scale non- circulating library. and at the moment I am just evaluating using equinox's Demo, but I have a question about how best to create a record structure for books that are (OV)er sized or (mini) format. Are item types my best bet?
18:20 wnickc     I either cannot recreate the bug or can't get the fix to work, I hate losing to the computer, but thanks oleonard
18:22 jcamins    n: I use shelving location for that usually.
18:23 n          Ok, so when patrons use OPAC and get a hit on something that is OV they just go to the location that has books of similar size?
18:24 jcamins    Right. And ideally the shelf is marked with a sign or something so they know where the shelving location is.
18:29 martian523 did someone skip my question about searching for chinese characters?
18:29 paul_p     jcamins around ?
18:30 paul_p     I'm trying to update a GRS-1 zebra to a DOM one. I think I've changed most of the instances of *-grs-* in config files, but get the following error :
18:30 paul_p     20:28:38-09/10 zebrasrv(1) [log] Unknown esetname 'marcxml'
18:30 paul_p     20:28:38-09/10 zebrasrv(1) [request] Present OK -   1 1+1
18:30 paul_p     any hint welcomed ...
18:31 jcamins    I think that indicates an inconsistency between koha-conf.xml and another file. gmcharlt may know off the top of his head which.
18:32 jcamins    Pointing to one file that still has GRS-y things and one that has DOM-y.
18:32 gmcharlt   retrieval-info-bib-*
18:34 paul_p     gmcharlt koha-conf.xml is koha-conf.xml:    <xi:include href="/home/paul/koha.dev/installs/master_unimarc/etc/zebradb/retrieval-info-bib-dom.xml"
18:36 n          Thanks jcamins! While I'm asking, are there any OPAC configurations that would better reflect a Non-Circulating Library?
18:37 gmcharlt   paul_p: and koha-conf.xml also has references to etc/zebradb/zebra-biblios-dom.cfg?
18:37 paul_p     gmcharlt checking
18:38 jcamins    n: some of my non-circulating libraries use javascript to change "Copies available for loan" to "Copies available" on the OPAC.

18:54 n          sorry got disconnected. What were the thoughts on how to remove the panel with links like 'Place Hold' & 'Add to your cart' from the OPAC for a Non-Circulating Library?
18:56 oleonard   n: You might want to turn off the "opacuserlogin" preference
18:57 cait       and the one that controls reserves for the opac
18:57 cait       alot of that goes away if you switch preferneces off
18:57 n          what are the steps there? is this from administration tool?
18:57 oleonard   Administration -> System preferences -> Search for "opacuserlogin"
18:57 n          thanks ill give it a shot!

19:19 cait1      do we say somewhere which bug we are working on?
19:19 bag        cait1: not that I’ve seen - maybe good to write up on the white board eh?
19:19 cait1      i have been putting mine on the wiki for now - or just leave a note on the bug?
19:21 rangi      yeah
19:21 rangi      on the wiki
19:21 wahanui    i heard on the wiki was more information about the packages
19:21 rangi      works
19:29 rangi      hmm
19:34 n          is there a way to configure the staff client to pair it down to only several options under a certain profile?
19:35 bag        n:yes in the manual you should see some information about user permissions
19:35 bag        that’s where I would start - try reading that and see if that helps you out
19:35 n          right, will do

19:56 caser      Hi everyone. I use the Koha package on Debian, what is the easiest way for me to apply patch for bug 12892?
19:56 huginn     04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12892 major, P5 - low, ---, kyle, Signed Off , Holds Waiting: not showing from check out screen
19:57 bag        I’ve gotten some stuff down on paper about our ideas from a quick breakout session
19:57 bag        caser with the packages - it’s harder to apply a patch.  usually I think the asnwer that most will give you - is to roll your own package
19:58 bag        or you could maybe just hard-edit the actual code and then the next time you upgrade your package it will get overwritten (I’m not sure - that’s the best way to do it though)
19:59 caser      yeah, we were trying to avoid hard editing. I suppose another option is waiting until it hits the Debian package, right?
20:01 bag        yes that’s another option
20:09 n          im still stuck, my staff cannot reach catalog even with superlibrarian permission. any thoughts?
20:10 caser      If I wanted to hard edit the code, can anyone tell me where the file a/Koha/Biblio.pm is?
20:10 caser      I have two Biblio.pm files and neither one of them are in a directory called Koha
20:23 n          bye everybody, thanks for the help!
