08:09 paul         (stagiaire)
08:09 paul         yep. but it's not an employee.
08:09 pierrick     will your new employee be at Kohacon ?
08:08 paul         (but I saw the new features "live" : they are great !)
08:08 paul         yep. I will try it asap.
08:07 pierrick     big commit as I can see
08:07 paul         but usefull !
08:07 pierrick     s/he/the
08:07 paul         yep.
08:07 pierrick     paul: seems he night was long...
08:05 paul         (kad os sleeping now)
08:00 pierrick     'night America
07:53 paul         have sweet dreams.
07:53 kados        good night all
07:53 kados        paul: now I go to sleep :-)
07:52 kados        paul: I committed my modifs ... and they are tested on the liblime demo
07:32 pierrick     hi hdl
07:30 hdl          hi all btw
07:30 hdl          smileglasses
07:30 chris        :-)
07:30 hdl          And I thought about Easy riders...
07:30 chris        ahh
07:29 hdl          I was riding to Chambery. for Two days training period.
07:14 thd          kados: If the selection tool pointer brought up the label for the collapsed subfield over which it was hovering that might help distinguish them better at the small size or otherwise.
07:11 thd          the size for the repeated subfield plus could be a little larger as well as the size of collapsed subfield characters.
07:07 thd          yaay labels are back :)
07:01 thd          just the ones that are in editor and populated
07:01 thd          kados: not the ones that are not editor, those should stay collapsed unless manually opened
07:00 kados        thd: give me a sec
06:59 kados        thd: that might be possible
06:59 si           evening thd
06:58 thd          hello si
06:58 thd          if only the collapsed in editor ones were expanded when filled :)
06:57 thd          yaay
06:57 kados        thd: expanded subfields aren't skipped now
06:47 thd          kados: you have the most recent that I sent but I fixed it some time ago at the subfield level I think the field was also copied from 001
06:46 kados        thd: also, did you ever finish the holdings?
06:46 kados        thd: not unless I don't have the most recent data loaded
06:46 thd          kados: I thought I fixed that once already :)
06:45 kados        thd: I'll look into it
06:45 kados        thd: can you fix 003 to not be mandatory please?
06:41 thd          kados: If you expand a collapsed subfield the tab key skips it when tabbing through the adjacent subfields.
06:33 thd          all better now
06:27 chris        09:27PM|<kados> (BTW: only tab 0 is up-to-date )
06:27 chris        thd
06:26 thd          kados: later tabs seem to have characteristics of appearance and behaviour prior to your recent changes.
06:24 thd          kados: why do the later tabs look different from tab 0?
06:24 jyl57        Welcome on board, koha's board I mean !
06:23 jyl57        Hi Pierrick
06:23 pierrick     Hi jyl57
06:18 jyl57        Salut !
06:18 thd          kados: I think the problem that I had identified with multiple ISBNs failing to appear in biblioitems.1SBN and having the binding abbreviation truncated may be be related to some ISBN validation code gone wrong but as I said I have not traced it.
06:17 paul         hello jyl57
06:11 thd          paul: I will have to repay my sleep debt sometime in compensation.
06:10 thd          paul: I could not write good original code without being alert but I can still write useful regexes and plod through 3,600 subfields.
06:09 thd          kados seems to be able to code with no sleep.
06:08 thd          paul: The range of tasks that I can perform with little sleep is somewhat limited.
06:07 thd          paul: Although it is bad for productivity for the week as a whole.
06:06 thd          paul: If I do not eat enough and am excited about something I can stay awake much too long :)
06:04 thd          paul: I was too tired to sleep well and then kados pinged me to show the wonderful new features and major bugfixes.
06:03 thd          kados: with reference to our previous discussion of ISBNs we need to replace the ISBN validation which may be breaking multiple ISBNs and binding information with ISBN-13.  All systems are supposed to have been ISBN 13 compliant since January.
06:02 paul         (do you ever sleep ?)
06:02 paul         thd : I agree.
05:58 thd          s/features/modules/
05:58 thd          paul: some people are afraid of being liberated all at once so one can liberate them by degrees with the best exportable features in Koha.
05:56 thd          paul: I think that the guided record editor as a separate module would be a great way to expose more people to Koha even on other systems until they switch completely for full freedom.
05:54 paul         they have to be copmpleted, for sure
05:54 paul         I just suggested a few things.
05:54 thd          paul: you had suggested an API for the record editor to do just that some months ago.
05:50 thd          paul: I know that some cataloguers will never be happy unless they have nothing more than a text editor with a few extensions.  Something will be needed to satisfy them but I think guided forms will be the future and everyone will eventually copy the Koha way if we do not separate the record editor so that it can be used with other systems as a stand alone disintegrated module.
05:50 chris        i have to stay up til midnight to watch it now
05:49 chris        yay nz in the final
05:46 thd          as fast as is missing above that is my goal speed parity with greater precision
05:46 chris        :)
05:46 paul         his school validate the project, I can't change it !
05:46 paul         I don't plan to abandon it : i'll have a student for 2 month (april/may)
05:45 thd          paul: please do not abandon the guided form based scheme my goal is to make the guided form based system as typing the codes into a text editor.
05:44 chris        sounds very interesting
05:44 chris        paul
05:43 thd          paul: even though his head hurt as I asked him to provide for all the possibilities he managed to extend hidden in a way that worked quite well except for the default that I was not awake enough to catch until just after he had gone to sleep that collapsing or minimising a subfield already in the form hides the content even if populated.
05:43 paul         (I wrote a paper about this a few months ago)
05:42 paul         that's the idea chris, but with many help ;-)
05:42 chris        :-)
05:42 chris        and they can just type the marc in
05:42 chris        just give them one textarea
05:42 paul         I just try to find an idea to have the cleanest form as possible at the beginning of a new biblio.
05:42 paul         that will provide en "empty" form, that the cataloguer will fill.
05:42 paul         of course thd, that's why we will write a new system for 3.0
05:39 thd          paul: so I was not happy about the constraint that imposed upon thinking well about the design but kados had more sleep than I and was able to think very well under the pressure for an interim solution to the problem that you cannot fit 3,600 subfields in a form and have a responsive system
05:36 kados        heh ... yea :-)
05:36 thd          kados: we did this mostly in one night while I was half asleep and Kados had a customer starting in the morning.
05:35 thd          because you would have no way to know what had been filled or not without expanding.
05:34 thd          paul: also, current behaviour that needs to be changed actually hides filled content of the collapsed subfields included in the editor by default which is not good.
05:33 paul         ok thd.
05:33 thd          paul: my goal was the same as your idea but moving the mouse pointer to expand a collapsed subfield subfield takes too much time and I only retained a few collapsed ones to see what collapsed looks like.
05:31 thd          paul: as kados implements more keyboard friendly features in his JavaScript I would change the way the form is presented.
05:30 paul         not necessary.
05:30 paul         kados : ok, that's almost similar, I agree.
05:30 kados        paul: or do you mean a function that expands all subfields at once?
05:29 thd          paul: I do understand well what you mean now I was merely trying to make something quick to tab through without a fast way to expand the collapsed subfields when needed.
05:29 kados        paul: but we specify at the level of subfield not tag
05:29 kados        paul: we already have that :-)
05:29 paul         should change nothing on network/memory.
05:29 paul         thd : my idea is just to minimise the subfields that are here, so that's just a "visibility" property
05:28 thd          paul: it is a problem to minimise many subfields as the form quickly becomes too large for memory and the network
05:28 paul         in tab 0, 024 is a good candidate too
05:28 kados        paul: we can already choose to do that based on the visibility flag ... but on the subfield level rather than the tag level
05:27 kados        (BTW: only tab 0 is up-to-date )
05:27 paul         => takes a large part of the screen, 80% ofr the time for nothing !
05:27 paul         the 210 is rarely filled I bet.
05:27 kados        we can do that now in fact
05:27 paul         in your sample, tab 2
05:27 kados        right
05:27 paul         but with all fields minimized by default
05:26 paul         when ADDING a biblio, we could have the tag 701,
05:26 kados        why not just mark the subfields?
05:26 paul         because some are while some are not !
05:26 paul         in UNIMARC, the 701 will be something like 20% filled.
05:26 kados        I'm not sure why tags are marked mandatory
05:26 thd          hello I have been communicating outside of logbot because I was half asleep
05:25 paul         * it's in tab, say 5, with subfields $a, $x, $z.
05:25 paul         * 701 field is "NON mandatory".
05:25 paul         I mean : in framework, you can say :
05:25 paul         hi thd.
05:25 thd          paul I do not understand what you are asking immediately
05:25 kados        we have a fairly compex method for determining 'visibility' currently
05:24 kados        I will think about this and discuss it with thd
05:24 kados        hmmm
05:24 paul         we have those informations.
05:23 paul         if a tag is non mandatory (& has no values if it's a modif), we could hide all subfields by default.
05:23 kados        sure
05:23 paul         a suggestion for hidden tags :
05:23 paul         ah, ok, that's great too !
05:23 kados        ignoring subfieldids
05:22 kados        it will start at 000 and increment correctly
05:22 kados        hit 'tab'
05:22 kados        no ... after page loads
05:22 kados        (yes it's on; the labels will show up if you roll over the tag or the subfield id
05:21 paul         the "waiting while page load" ?
05:21 kados        hit the 'tab' key
05:21 paul         advancedMARC editor is ON on antioch isn't it ?
05:21 kados        ahh ... when the page loads
05:20 paul         what do you call "proper tabs" ?
05:20 paul         (but same second ;-) )
05:20 paul         kados won !
05:20 kados        heh
05:20 chris        good idea
05:20 kados        good idea
05:20 paul         I think i'll rewritte only on head, to avoid bugs.
05:20 paul         (I wrote addbiblio when I was a beginner with MARC::Record, and made many stupid things)
05:19 kados        ok ... but be quite careful :-)
05:19 paul         I think we can /10 the number of loops to do.
05:19 paul         + I will improve a little bit the .pl, because many foreach nested are useless.
05:19 kados        paul: it will be tested in a production system before I commit
05:19 chris        :-)
05:19 paul         yes, i'm 100000% ok !
05:18 kados        paul: and head of course
05:18 kados        paul: rel_2_2 if it's ok for you
05:18 paul         hi pierrick.
05:18 pierrick     hello :-)
05:18 paul         do you plan to submit this on rel_2_2 or head ?
05:18 kados        yep
05:18 paul         for instance, the + submit the form, that's a lot of network & time
05:18 kados        it might take some time
05:18 paul         I was speaking of the +, sorry :
05:17 kados        maybe eventually we can convert + to the new method for tags too
05:17 kados        paul: no because MARC framework does not have a 'hidden' for tags
05:17 paul         yep. For instance, the + submit the form ...
05:17 kados        paul: you mean hide a complete field?
05:17 paul         same thing somewhere for a complete field ?
05:17 kados        (so if the book had hardcover/softcover, etc.)
05:17 chris        ahh right
05:16 kados        anyway, xisbn is a web service ... you send them an isbn and they send you back all the isbns of all the same items
05:16 paul         except it's so small that it's not easy to click on it !
05:16 paul         ah, ok, now I see.
05:16 kados        paul: this is the 'visibility' feature
05:16 kados        paul: click on them
05:16 paul         no
05:16 paul         what are the small "bz" just below the 010$a for example
05:15 chris        nope
05:15 kados        do you guys know about xisbn service from oclc?
05:15 kados        here's what I'm working on now
05:15 chris        :-)
05:15 paul         :-)
05:15 kados        we're very close to having one of the top MARC editors on the planet :-)
05:15 chris        hehe
05:15 paul         (yes chris, and he told me I was early on my keyboard !)
05:15 kados        hehe
05:15 chris        cut down on the coffee man :-)
05:14 kados        chris: yea :-)
05:14 paul         yes, very great !
05:14 chris        are you still awake kados
05:14 kados        like 015$a
05:14 kados        ahh ... look for small + next to some subfields
05:14 paul         yes, i'm on it, but can't see.
05:14 kados        I sent you a link in pmesg
05:14 paul         what do you mean by "proper tabs" ?
05:14 kados        try it out
05:13 paul         how do you handle subf repeatability?
05:13 kados        heh
05:13 kados        * some special mouse cursor effects
05:13 paul         there will be no need for a new MARC editor soon ;-)
05:12 kados        * add a new systempreference for 'advancedMARCEditor' which allows professional cataloger to remove tag and subfield labels (off by default)
05:12 kados        * add some nice formatting and proper 'tabs'
05:12 kados        * hide indicators and subfield tags of fixed fields
05:12 kados        * subfield reordering
05:11 kados        * subfield repeatability
05:11 kados        here's what i added:
05:11 kados        I'm not quite finished
05:11 kados        no commit yet
05:11 paul         I've seen a commit, but not investigated it in fact
05:10 kados        paul: I have made many many improvements on the editor while you slept
05:10 kados        great
05:10 kados        hehe
05:10 paul         (& have seen ed & mike mails on perl4lib. I'll try to give cvs file:xml a try today)
05:09 paul         so yes, i'm back !
05:09 paul         it's 9am in France.
05:09 paul         so soon ?
05:09 kados        paul: back so soon?
22:49 thd          not very awake but back :)
22:49 thd          kados: I am back
18:22 CaptPancakes I was definately making it way to hard on myself, thanks kados
18:21 CaptPancakes that was much easier
18:21 CaptPancakes my goodness...
18:16 kados        np
18:16 CaptPancakes okay, I'll try it, instead... thanks
18:15 kados        use that as your guide
18:15 CaptPancakes yes, it's there.
18:15 kados        it puts it in /etc by default
18:15 CaptPancakes okay
18:15 kados        well if you run installer.pl it'll generate a koha-httpd.conf file for you
18:15 kados        huh
18:15 CaptPancakes anyways, I'm using the Hints file that came with the tar.gz.  I'm using it strictly for a generic httpd.conf that will only run koha
18:14 CaptPancakes I'm going by what documentation I can find
18:14 CaptPancakes now I'm to the part where I need to setup my httpd.conf file, I would assume
18:14 CaptPancakes I mostly answered with the defaults, cause I'm just testing
18:13 kados        k
18:13 CaptPancakes and I've untar'd and ran installer.pl
18:12 CaptPancakes I've got all of my deps. in order.
18:12 CaptPancakes 2.0.52
18:11 kados        what version are you running?
18:11 kados        right
18:11 CaptPancakes I'm learning I should say =)
18:11 CaptPancakes I'm not very familiar with Apache
18:11 kados        gotcha
18:11 CaptPancakes here's my scenario... I'm running Clarkconnect Home 3.2, it's based on CentOS which isn't too different from Fedora
18:10 kados        sure
18:10 CaptPancakes cool, I have a question about the install procedure
17:55 CaptPancakes anyone here?
15:08 kados        lunch
15:01 kados        yay logbot!
