Thanks! 19:26 cm i'll stick a holiday in there just to be sure. 19:26 cm aah, that seems to have worked. :) 19:25 cm I also noticed that in the docs you have Datedue but in the actual perl you have Duedate. 19:24 cm okay. 19:22 rch_ use Date::Calc qw/Add_Delta_Days/; 19:22 rch_ use Date::Manip; 19:22 rch_ cm: 19:14 cm okay. 19:14 rch_ cm: sorry... brb 19:05 cm it's commented. 19:04 rch_ i'm not sure what the status is of Date::Manip in that module. 19:04 rch_ yep. 19:04 cm in Calendar.pm, anyway. Is that where you mean? 19:03 cm it is uncommented. 19:03 cm ah-ha. 19:03 rch_ use Date::Calc 19:03 rch_ ah, uncomment 19:02 cm [Mon Apr 09 14:52:48 2007] [error] [client 192.168.1.210] Premature end of script headers: circulation.pl, referer: http://circ.ccfls.org/cgi-bin/koha/circ/circulation.pl?findborrower=25199323 19:02 cm ] Undefined subroutine &C4::Calendar::Calendar::Add_Delta_Days called at /usr/local/koha/intranet/modules/C4/Calendar/Calendar.pm line 501., referer: http://circ.ccfls.org/cgi-bin/koha/circ/circulation.pl?findborrower=25199323 19:01 cm hi. 19:01 dewey i think the error is not recoverable: exiting now 19:01 rch_ what's the error? 19:01 rch_ hi cm 18:58 cm I updated Calendar.pm, and now there's an error when I issue. 18:56 cm rch_, are you back from lunch yet? 18:40 cm the ccfls version of the template on there is a bit old, I think. The Intranet tab is missing from the system preferences so I couldn't change it back. 18:40 cm never mind, it refreshed itself. 18:27 cm I just set your demo intranet to our template to show it to someone, and now I can't change it back! 18:27 cm kados, are you in? 17:40 rch_ re: the branch thing... if you're around later this afternoon, can discuss it then 17:39 cm cool, rch. i'll try it. :) thanks! 17:38 rch_ kyle: , cm: committed Calendar.pm -> set syspref 'useDaysMode' to 'Datedue', and loan length should calculate properly. 14:52 cm i almost forgot about that. 14:41 kyle any progress on switching the rules for checkouts from the items homebranch to the logged in branch. 14:35 cm thanks. it's definitely something we need before we officially migrate. 14:35 rch_ okay - i'll look at it this morning 14:34 cm i chatted with kados a while ago and he said you guys would fix it. 14:34 cm right now it always adds the holiday to the due date, not just when the due date is a holiday. 14:33 cm yeah, exactly. 14:33 rch_ whereas it is currently calculating loan length as number of non-holiday days? 14:33 rch_ Ah - you needed only to change the due date if it landed on a holiday, right? 14:32 rch_ cm: what's your status on that? I thought the bugs were worked out? 14:26 cm rch_, how are the tweaks to due dates/holidays coming? 14:25 cm he he! i'd better start taking the stairs. 14:24 kyle cm had better watch out, the elevator knows all and sees all ; ) 14:24 cm i've been here almost 9 years and I've never gotten stuck in it. :P 14:23 kyle rch: *alot* our elevator has it in for me, I think it's been twice as much as cindy's estimate ; ) 14:23 cm at least 7 or 8 times since we hired him! 14:23 kyle that's a good idea, I can do that, thanks. 14:22 cm :) 14:22 kyle cm: that's what I get for pushing it too far ; ) 14:22 rch_ kyle: i'm actually not sure... I've just committed over my mistakes... but i imagine there's a better way 14:22 cm kyle, you crash your computer about as often as you get stuck in the elevator! 14:22 kyle cm: ok. 14:21 cm ok. don't forget we have the list in mantis. 14:21 kyle I just had a head crash. 14:21 kyle indeed ; ) 14:21 kyle cm: don't worry about it, we'll submit an enhancement request with our suggestions. 14:21 rch_ :) 14:21 rch_ doh! 14:20 kyle rch: how do I undo my last commit, I just overwrote returns.pl with my returns.tmpl ; ( 14:20 cm kyle: so what did you want me to explain? 14:19 kyle agreed 14:18 owen the more people that use it the more useful it will be! 14:17 kyle Even on a low-end system I don't think it would cause performance issues. 14:17 kyle rch: and I think that in this day and age, it's not worth causing so much pain to save a few bytes on servers with 2 gigs of RAM or more. 14:16 rch_ kyle: only reason would be to save a few bytes of memory 14:15 kyle owen: we'll do that. 14:14 owen kyle: I'd encourage you to file enhancement bugs for the changes you'd like to see in reserves. You'll find some from me in there. 14:14 kyle rch, I got it working, I put the line too early in the script. My next question is: why don't we just push all the item information wholesale, and let the template designer choose which information to display>? 14:12 kyle it's simpler and more convenient to just use item notes. 14:12 kyle in our current system, we use the standard notes field, so it doesn't matter to use. Using the common notes field is just find, and extends it's usefulness to other things. 14:10 owen well, my question is, is that a more sensible place to put the notes that you're talking about? 14:10 kyle rch: it doesn't look like that helped any. 14:09 kyle owen: that should probably be removed then. It's good to see some real kruft removal being done on Koha. 14:09 owen kyle, notice there is already a "notes" field for reserves (in request.pl). We always ignore it, though, because it doesn't get used anywhere else :| 14:08 kyle rch: I see, I'll give that a try. 14:07 rch_ and it should be available in the riloop tmpl loop 14:07 rch_ kyle: you should just be able to add: $ri{itemnotes} = $iteminformation->{'itemnotes'}; 14:07 kyle owen: somthing like that would work. 14:06 kyle If no one else is working on it, I can volunteer some time, but right now we are focusing on switching over. 14:06 owen kyle: interesting. So for you guys a patron-type-weighted reserve list would be ideal 14:06 rch_ kyle: i think you want to look around line 450 of returns.pl ? 14:06 rch_ no, it's not big on the list... other circ work is coming, though 14:05 kyle We have homebound patrons who reserve dozens of items and such, and keep them for months, so they get last priority to make it more fair for other patrons. 14:05 owen I believe Liblime is... rch_? 14:05 kyle do you know if anyone is working on the reserves system actively? 14:04 kyle I know, that is a very big flaw imho 14:04 kyle I guess we need to be able to reorder patrons, and be able to move patrons so that a particular person is always last on the list. 14:03 owen I'm not sure what Koha would do if you told it that every person in a 20-reserve list had priority 1, but Koha would let you do it. 14:03 owen kyle: NPL runs an automated script that "fixes" the reserve ordering nightly. It means that staff can't re-order the reserve list, but it prevents other problems. 14:03 kyle So, for now we'll just use our old system, and either someone else will fix the reserve system, or I'll work on it. 14:01 kyle We could always create another page the *only* allows editing of an item note. 14:01 owen kyle: what kind of reserve status are you looking for? 14:01 kyle There is a multiude of reasons the librarians find the reserve system currently unusable, first being that it only tells you there is a reserve on checkin, there is no quck way to see a reserve status, and the way patrons are ordered for a resrve is screwy. 14:00 owen We couldn't use itemnotes at NPL because we limit who has access to additem.pl. It'd be nice to be able to add item notes from the intranet catalog, though. 13:59 kyle cindy set it up with the help of either you or kados, I can't remember who. 13:59 rch_ kyle: what about reserves don't work for you? 13:59 kyle We aren't using the marc edit screen, we are using additem.pl to edit notes. 13:58 kyle Basically, our current reserve system is to put a note on an item stating it is reserved, and who it is reserved for. We are going to hold off on using koha's built in reserve system until we make the switch to 3.0 13:56 owen kyle, that's an interesting idea. How are itemnotes being used in your library? Are they being added via the MARC edit screens? 13:53 kyle I'm trying to get a dump from $template->param, but I can't find a good way to do so. 13:52 kyle We need to be able to view items.itemnotes from the returns page. I traced it all the way back to Circ2.pm and it's passing everything, including the itemnote but for the life of me I can't get it to appear. 13:51 kyle I need a bit of help... 13:51 kyle hey rch 13:19 rch_ hey kyle 12:46 kyle kados, rch you around?
