Time Nick Message 21:51 gmcharlt world says hello back 21:50 mc hello world 18:00 gmcharlt then code that needs to look for a config file under one of those dirs can try to build the path 18:00 gmcharlt frederic: it's not there yet -- I can add logic to install to put the KOHA_CONF_DIR and ZEBRA_CONF_DIR values in koha-conf.xml, which will make it accessible from C4::Context 17:56 frederic I agree. Just one question. How would you do to find the pathname to zebradb config file. I see KOHA_CONF environment var but nothing pointing to where all zebra-koha files are stored... 17:52 gmcharlt that would be ideal 17:52 gmcharlt if you can wrap the use of the JSON in a module or class that can later allow the serialization of the facet defs to be changed later 17:51 gmcharlt but ultimately should be replaced 17:51 gmcharlt frederic: I think the JSON config file could be put in for now 17:49 gmcharlt of course, as a separate config file, it would still be easy to break the JSON 17:49 gmcharlt and code to allow users to edit entries in it 17:49 gmcharlt frederic: no, a syspref wouldn't be enough -- you'd have to create an auxiliary table (e.g., facet_defs) 17:48 frederic /king/kind/ 17:48 frederic gmcharlt: You think that a syspref would be enough? This king of parameters are not so easy to edit... You can very easily break a json stream... 17:46 gmcharlt I know kados has tested it and likes what he sees - I don't know if it is ready to be coded to replace the current facet system 17:46 frederic Is there any chance that faceted search will use any time soon, zebra new 'facets' functionnalities? 17:46 gmcharlt got the example -- yeah, that sort of thing could easily live in the database where librarians could change it on the fly 17:44 frederic I just send you a facets configuration file to give you an idea of what I'm doing 17:44 gmcharlt yeah, at least the defs for what facets to present 17:44 frederic An so facets would be in DB? 17:43 gmcharlt i.e., like branches, call number rules, etc. (I realize it's likely to complicated to be a syspref) 17:43 gmcharlt be done through an Adminstration interface 17:43 gmcharlt would it be possible to have the facet config 17:42 gmcharlt so no big deal 17:42 gmcharlt there are aspects of translations that already don't fall under the HTML templates 17:42 gmcharlt but on the other hand 17:42 gmcharlt but for default facet config, would kind of like the names to be picked up by the existing template system 17:41 gmcharlt agreed that defs for facets need to be configurable 17:40 frederic I understand, but facets could be configurable. A library could decide to add/remove facets. It appears to me to be indepedant of templating system... 17:39 gmcharlt would it be possible or reasonable to somehow put that into the staff and OPAC tempalte dirs? 17:38 gmcharlt but since the translation mechanism currently works on subdirs of koha-tmpl 17:38 gmcharlt frederic: it would be possible have the install process put the path to the conf directory in koha-conf.xml 17:37 frederic You may help on another point. I try to tweak faceted search to be translatable. To avoid hardcoding, facets labels into Koha.pm, I put them in a JSON external file. But I don't know exactly where to put this file. I was thinking to /etc/koha/zebra/koha-facets.conf. But after that, I don't know how to retrieve path to this file which depend, I suppose, of installation... What would you do? 17:34 gmcharlt let me know if it solves all of issues you reported in those two bugs 17:34 frederic And thanks. 17:34 frederic YES! 17:34 gmcharlt they're not showing up on gitweb, but they're there if you fetch and rebase 17:33 gmcharlt frederic: I did a couple patches yesterday that should help with 1905 and 1906 17:32 frederic gmcharlt: hello! Do you have any idea about authority bug #1906 I submited? Anything I can do/try? 17:30 gmcharlt atz: If I tried that, my office would be come a hospital bed 17:30 gmcharlt atz: heh 17:29 atz gmcharlt: the kittywigs.com link on #code4lib made me think of your cats 17:26 fbcit tnx 17:26 fbcit no use doing it the harder way 17:25 fbcit ok, well I think this discussion has proven to me that I really just need to refactor picture-upload.pl into a set of functions rather than a separate script 17:23 atz what I regard as the whole user env includes all the stuff set by Auth (considerably more than we want to stuff in the sessions table, for performance reasons) 17:21 atz it helped me to just dump some rows out of the sessions table 17:20 fbcit maybe an explanation will help qualify this a bit more: 17:19 gmcharlt like the user's branch selection 17:19 atz maybe what you mean by user env 17:19 gmcharlt at least, some of it is persisted there 17:19 gmcharlt :) 17:19 gmcharlt yes 17:19 atz the userenv is assembled by Context 17:18 atz no 17:18 fbcit so the user env is really kept in the session table? 17:17 gmcharlt atz: yep, just not any session data itself 17:16 atz of course the session ID itself is passed via cookie 17:12 gmcharlt see C4/BackgroundJob.pm, for instance, or much of C4::Auth 17:12 gmcharlt fbcit: another possibility is to put it into the CGI::Session session (which ultimately persists it by storing the data in the sessions table) 17:11 atz fbcit: you can just add fields to the current cookie 17:09 fbcit any thoughts to the contrary? 17:09 fbcit I'm afraid things will break badly if I modify it to handle multiple cookies given the current usage 17:08 fbcit it looks to me like output_html_with_http_headers is only setup to handle a single cookie 16:10 hdl fbcit: Nothing special I know of. 15:56 fbcit hdl: is there anything particular I should consider or be aware of when passing vars using a cookie? 15:55 hdl fbcit: yes cookies are required. 15:52 fbcit or is that considered bad practice? 15:51 fbcit does Koha 3.0 *require* cookies to run? 15:36 gmcharlt missing 7 or 8 patches 15:36 fbcit and its not even Monday ;-) 15:36 gmcharlt fbcit: you're right, it is out of sync 15:35 fbcit but I do not see it @ git.koha.org 15:35 fbcit is git.koha.org in sync with the repo? 15:34 fbcit hrm 15:34 paul so you may have files disappearing/reappearing 15:34 paul - replays all commits 15:34 paul - update the files to reflect the origin of your rebase 15:34 paul as rebase : 15:34 paul hdl : this sometimes happends when a rebase fails. 15:33 hdl But git is having it. 15:33 hdl My text editor told me this file was deleted by a third party software. 15:33 gmcharlt hdl: I sincerely hope not. :) why are you asking? 15:32 hdl gmcharlt: C4::Items was deleted ? 15:29 fbcit I wonder if it has to do with this: \ No newline at end of file 15:29 hdl file deletion or directory renaming seems to make problems sometimes. 15:28 fbcit it was on mine at least 15:28 hdl for me too. 15:28 fbcit clickmenu.css is the culprit 15:25 gmcharlt but that somehow the file deletion caused an issue 15:24 gmcharlt not that there's a problem with the commit itself 15:24 gmcharlt but it does sound like the problems are stemming from this commit http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=Koha;a=commitdiff;h=5d42e5e991763e432d81321a25899dc466f30a52 15:24 gmcharlt odd. I haven't had any problems rebasing, which I do at least once every day 15:22 fbcit and it has disappeared from my 5000 line buffer :( 15:20 fbcit when I looked at the contents, it looked about half finished 15:20 fbcit owen: not sure here either, except the file did not exist locally or in the main repo 15:20 paul owen : we don't know. We just get a "dirty index" when rebasing 15:19 owen well, that sounds like my fault. How was it bad? 15:18 paul mine too 15:18 fbcit mine was a bad css in jquery subdir 15:18 hdl Paul is having problems. 15:18 fbcit fixed it 15:18 fbcit git reset --hard HEAD && git rebase origin 15:18 owen I got that a couple days ago 15:18 hdl So that's three of us. 15:17 fbcit hdl: me to 15:16 hdl Is there something I shoul do to fixit up ? 15:16 hdl gang !! I am having a "dirty Index" with git. 15:10 owen Oh, that's a mistake on my part 15:10 gmcharlt owen: also, in normal ISBD view, the text of the normal view and MARC view links are in brackets for some reason 15:10 owen Yes, that's because at the moment the MARC data is all in one big table, so there's no place for the floating box you see in Normal and ISBD views 15:09 gmcharlt owen: a couple things could be made more consistent, IMO - in MARC view, the place hold button is at the top, not in a box at the right 15:08 gmcharlt fbcit: interesting. what part of Switzerland? and was there any particular reason for the move? 15:08 fbcit gmcharlt: when my people came over from Switzerland ~1740, they moved into Lancaster 15:08 owen Thanks, I'm glad you like it 15:07 gmcharlt owen++ # the bib view changes for the OPAC 15:07 fbcit I was reading back about your Lancaster County origins 15:07 fbcit hi gmcharlt 15:07 gmcharlt hi fbcit 15:05 hdl kados : Is there a test box where I could test bugs ? staff-jmf.????? 14:56 gmcharlt hdl: no, it's a combination of TLC's CARL X and Endeca 14:55 hdl is chipublib on Koha ? 14:55 gmcharlt whereas for French and Spanish you can do your search with or without diacritics 14:53 gmcharlt e.g., you can search on Koren transliterated to Roman characters if you include the diacritics, but you can't search on transliterated Korean sans diacritics or on Korean characters 14:52 paul gmcharlt: I think it depends on the age of the patron. 14:52 gmcharlt reason I'm asking is that the Chicago public library just switched systems today (http://www.chipublib.org/) there are a lot of languages present in CPL's holdings, and at the moment, while display of non-English seems generally OK, searching is rather hit-or-miss 14:51 hdl and because some of their keyboards are not azerty's ones. So you go to the point. 14:51 owen Hunh, just like new users might be very careful about capitalization 14:51 hdl gmcharlt: exactly. 14:50 gmcharlt hdl: thanks (and for 2 & 3, they drop the diacritics because they've been "trained" to not expect them to work in many databases?) 14:50 hdl osmoze maybe ? 14:50 hdl paul : a comment on this ? 14:49 hdl gmcharlt: typically : 1 users will use diacritics, and 2 or 3 will not unless they get the title from internet and copy paste. 14:49 gmcharlt hdl: ok, so let's name three categories: (1) typical public library user (2) undergraduate student (3) professor or graduate student 14:48 hdl gmcharlt: it all depends on what kind of users you are thinking of. 14:47 gmcharlt hdl: I'm doing a little research about how non-English languages are searched in catalogs. In France, would somebody (i.e., an average library user) typically enter the diacritics in the search box when searching for a known title -- or would they typically leave them off 14:46 gmcharlt hdl: you're welcome 14:46 hdl gmcharlt: thx for this information. 14:45 hdl gmcharlt: you are welcome. 14:45 hdl (I had some friends of mine who came from Mauricius and their accent was quite Canadian accent to me.) 14:44 gmcharlt hdl: thanks. and to answer your question, I was born and raised near Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, which is in the southeast of the state (also has a lot of Amish living there). But my accent itself is just a personal idiosyncrasy -- nobody else in my family has it :) 14:44 hdl But I am not good at guessing accents. 14:43 hdl I was thinking about Ireland or Scotland maybe.... 14:43 gmcharlt hdl: sure, but why don't you make a guess first -- I'm curious what a French-speaker's guess would be 14:42 hdl gmcharlt: many ppl at code4lib were wondering where your accent comes from. May I ask you ? 14:42 gmcharlt should have time to work on those this week, but because of a trip I'm taking to California Wednesday and Thursday, I won't be 100% coding until next week 14:41 gmcharlt hdl: yep, I noticed that :) 14:41 hdl And many things relies on you gmcharlt (at least for reserve stuff) 14:40 hdl still there is a lot of work. 14:40 paul at least, they have generated a lot of mail traffic from bugs.koha.org ;) 14:39 gmcharlt hdl: no worries -- and besides, it looks like you and kados made a lot of progress 14:37 hdl Next time will be better I hope. 14:37 hdl sorry guys for I induced you in time problems. 14:22 gmcharlt I'm fuzzy about the details, though :( 14:22 gmcharlt for caucuses, at each meeting the voters come in initially for one candidate or another, then a complicated dance takes place and eventually each caucus ends up supporting a particular candidate 14:21 gmcharlt in closed primary states, you're generally better off registering a party, otherwise you don't get to vote until the general election 14:21 gmcharlt others have closed primaries, where you can vote only for the ballot of the party you're registered for 14:20 gmcharlt paul: it depends. some states have open primaries, where a voters can pick (usually just one of) any party's ballot and vote on that 14:20 owen In some states, you have to be registered Democrat to vote in the Democratic primary 14:20 owen It varies from state to state 14:20 paul who can vote ? any one or only ppl members of the democrat/republican ? 14:20 gmcharlt caucus = (and I don't know all of the details myself) means a bunch of registered party members meeting in each district 14:20 gmcharlt paul: primary = just an election, basically 14:19 owen I'm not exactly sure myself, because I've never voted in a state that uses caucuses. 14:19 paul what's the diff between a caucus & a primary ? 14:18 owen In the rain, even. It /always/ rains on election day here. 14:18 paul (news speak of this day as "mini-tuesday", very important for hilary) 14:18 gmcharlt owen: yeah, I was confused about the time 14:18 paul owen, will you vote today ? 14:18 paul hello gmcharlt 14:18 gmcharlt hi paul, owen, ccatalfo 14:18 paul 'morning to you. 14:18 owen I see I missed the bug-squashing meeting. I guess a lot of folks did :) 14:17 paul hello ccatalfo & owen 14:17 owen Excellent 14:17 ccatalfo owen, I think your yui reset.css is going to do the trick for embedding biblios into koha-- thanks! 12:36 fbcit sorry I could not make it this time hdl 11:52 kados will do 11:52 lloyd_ gimme a shout when you're free ;) 11:51 kados lloyd_: sure 11:51 kados time for some coffee :-) 11:51 lloyd_ I need to chat with you soonish, you around later today? 11:51 kados I'll bbiab 11:51 kados anyway, /me has to head out for a while 11:51 lloyd_ hehehe 11:51 kados I'm normally up by now, but not usually on IRC :-) 11:50 kados lloyd_: well, it's about 6:50am 11:50 lloyd_ what on earth are you doing here.. you don't get here for another 4 hours normally lol 11:50 kados lloyd_: we just had a bugfix meeting 11:50 kados hey lloyd_ 11:50 kados rather than 5am 11:50 lloyd_ someone is on the war path with bugzilla 11:50 kados in fact, Joe Atzberger thought you had today's meeting scheduld for 5pm EST 11:49 kados next one will likely be more attended 11:49 hdl next time wil be better. 11:49 kados and very late in NZ :-) 11:49 hdl yeah. 11:49 hdl But it was too early for you. 11:49 kados well, it's pretty early in the US :-) 11:49 hdl a pity no other folks came in. 11:49 hdl you're welcome. 11:48 hdl I will too. 11:48 kados hdl: thanks for organizing this, we made some progress 11:48 hdl Maybe. 11:48 kados but I will investigate before the next bug meeting 11:48 kados I suspect that there are some 'normal' that should be marked major 11:48 kados yep 11:47 hdl anyway we have ran through all major bugs. 11:47 hdl We should have someone for maintaining and improving the stuff. 11:47 kados hdl: I must leave in 15 minutes 11:46 kados 1542 is a problem ... chris cormack wrote that reports stuff, but not sure if he plans to maintain it 11:45 kados not for 3.0 though I think 11:45 kados but an importnat one 11:45 kados 1517 is an enhancement I think 11:44 kados ryan has details 11:44 kados in fact, 1105 raises a big issue about french vs us way to do acqui IIRC 11:44 hdl yes. 11:43 kados 1105 needs higher priority IMO and some testing, can you take it? 11:42 kados 1305 is an enhancement too 11:42 kados 1322 is also an enhancement 11:41 kados I know LL doesn't have resources to add features to Z-client built into old MARC editor 11:41 kados I think it's an enhancement also 11:40 kados so mark 1343 as duplicate I think 11:40 kados 1343 and 1337 are duplicates, 1337 should be retained 11:40 hdl 1337 ? 11:39 kados change priority to P3 too, since no patch is pending 11:38 kados I think enhancement is OK 11:38 kados it's an 'experimental' feature at best 11:38 hdl marking it wont fix ? 11:38 kados (subject cloud I mean) 11:38 kados and probably should not be included in 3.0 11:38 kados 1448 is poorly implemented IMO 11:37 kados so it can be closed 11:37 kados 1816 is duplicate of an earlier one we closed 11:37 kados 1372 is fixed 11:36 kados but it's a surprising behavior to not have edit capabilities 11:36 kados from LL POV, yes 11:36 kados probably 11:36 hdl 1880 too. 11:35 hdl 1879 is rather enhancement than a bug is it ? 11:34 kados hdl: 1880 too? 11:34 kados OK 11:34 frederic ok :) Thanks. I read it. 11:34 hdl I can take it. 11:34 kados frederic: you're right, I sent the wrong email ... check now 11:33 hdl 1879 : suggestions 11:32 hdl Ok. assinging to me 11:32 kados anyway, that script needs to be audited 11:32 frederic kados: I get your email. It doesn't tell me why my patch wasn't apply and what to do to get it accepted... 11:32 kados or else it doesn't run? 11:32 kados clean patrons I think it requires a patron to have checked out something at least once 11:31 kados I think severity should be increased 11:31 kados 1573 is a real big prob IMO 11:30 kados 1573? 11:30 kados but joe can fix I think 11:30 kados not fixed 11:30 kados nope 11:30 hdl not for me. 11:29 kados also for joe 11:29 hdl is 1875 OK now ? 11:29 kados 1875 11:28 hdl OK. 11:28 kados 1871 I marked as duplicate of 1629 11:27 kados 1874 ... it should be Joe 11:26 kados oops, 1804 I mean 11:26 kados 1805 -> I get a 500 error in staff client 11:25 hdl 1874 11:25 hdl bug 1804 : I take it. 11:24 hdl closed. 11:24 kados hdl: so we can close it 11:24 hdl OK fine then. 11:23 kados hdl: and in the staff client 11:23 hdl maybe we should just port opac's code to staff client. 11:23 kados frederic: ok, I'll send there 11:23 kados 1799 works for me in the OPAC 11:22 hdl 1799 11:22 frederic kados: I didn't receive your email. Sorry. Alternative email: frederic@demians.fr. Thks. 11:22 hdl I will try to make it out. 11:21 kados firefox on OSX 11:20 kados 1819 works for me 11:20 kados 1819 11:19 kados 1833 is fixed I believe 11:19 hdl Will ask him to have a look. 11:18 kados do you agree? 11:18 kados 1857 should be at least reviewed by paul i think 11:17 hdl 1833 11:17 kados hmmm, maybe not 11:17 kados I think it's invalid 11:16 hdl bug 1857 then. 11:14 kados I will assign to Galen 11:14 kados 1742 and 1774 are also related 11:14 hdl next is 1742 11:14 hdl btw i have not sent you SAN's requirements for reserves. 11:12 kados I will assign to galen 11:12 kados yep, it's related to the earlier discussion about holds 11:11 hdl next : 1825 11:11 kados ok, I will update it 11:11 kados at least from LibLime POV 11:11 hdl I think this could be one. But I agreee. it is rather enhancement. 11:10 kados I think it's probably an enhancement request at the moment 11:10 kados is this a prob for french users too? 11:09 hdl 1785 11:09 kados 1785 11:09 hdl updated 11:08 kados hdl: you can update the bug report 11:08 kados ok, so 1723 WORKSFORME 11:07 hdl it worked for me. 11:07 hdl yes. 11:07 hdl (+ it is only one line to remove : LIMIT 10) 11:07 kados hdl: 1723? 11:06 hdl can you test ? 11:06 hdl works for me. 11:06 kados in the meantime, I think 1534 is an enhancement request 11:04 kados hdl: can you test? 11:04 kados so is 1723 fixed or not? 11:04 hdl next is 1723. 11:04 hdl cool. 11:03 kados RSS will be for whole set 11:03 hdl next is 1723 11:02 hdl will the results for RSS be the wole set or only the 20 first ? 11:02 kados yep 11:02 hdl anyway, fixing 1629 will fix 1872. 11:02 hdl yes. 11:01 kados I will take both 11:01 kados is related 11:01 kados also 1872 11:01 hdl (+ cgi->header application/rss-xml) 11:01 kados I can take this bug 11:00 hdl I agree. 11:00 kados I think an alternative template for search.pl could work ... opac-searchresults-rss.tmpl maybe?
