Time  Nick            Message
23:56 brendan         great to have chris back
23:50 chris           np
23:50 gmcharlt        any, thanks for helping ricardo
23:47 chris           so its much faster to just build that indexes after
23:46 gmcharlt        exactly, that's what the light dawning was about
23:46 chris           but yeah it locks tables and does all sorts of madness
23:46 chris           its the modzebra in Biblio
23:46 chris           it doesnt actually use that
23:46 gmcharlt        there's a reason why I try to pretend nozebra doesn't exist most of the time - and I keep rediscovering it
23:45 gmcharlt        grr
23:44 * gmcharlt      looks at rebuild_nozebra.pl, light dawns
23:44 chris           nope, but the bigger it is, the slower it takes to update
23:43 gmcharlt        the entirety of nozebra index?
23:43 chris           with nozebra on the indexes are being built/updated after every record is added
23:41 gmcharlt        hmm ... bulkmarcimport.pl + rebuild_nozebra.pl shouldn't be behaving like that.
23:39 ricardo         I'll now follow joetho example. Have a great weekend everyone!  :)
23:35 ricardo         chris: Sure!  :)
23:34 chris           no worries,just help someone else sometime :)
23:34 ricardo         chris: Many thanks... And if you'd like me to buy you a Book or something, just name it!  :)
23:33 ricardo         gmcharlt: Thanks for trying to help
23:33 chris           have a good weekend
23:33 ricardo         OK. I think that's the time for me to go home (23H30... gee).
23:32 ricardo         :)
23:32 pianohackr|work Never any hurry :)
23:32 ricardo         pianohackr|work: *nod*... I could try to do that, but I won't probably be able to even *start* working on it before next Wednesday
23:30 pianohackr|work ricardo: A patch would at least be accepted. Others might notice issues we don't, but saving the current value of a syspref, setting to some value, doing stuff, then resetting has been done in a few batch jobs, I believe
23:28 ricardo         chris: Again, many thanks. I wonder if this would warrant a patch to "bulkmarcimport.pl" to disable NoZebra during its execution
23:27 ricardo         chris: Way!  :)
23:27 chris           cool
23:27 ricardo         (it took 13 minutes to run "rebuild_nozebra.pl")
23:26 ricardo         chris: Done  :)
23:15 ricardo         "Building BIBLIO indexes".... seems to be running quickly. Good. BRB
23:14 ricardo         Running "rebuild_nozebra.pl"
23:12 ricardo         Doing Backup of Koha's MySQL database ...
23:11 ricardo         Turning NoZebra back on
23:10 ricardo         THANKS A LOT CHRIS! :D  (CAPS fully intended, eheh)
23:10 ricardo         I call that a "slight" performance improvement!  ;-)
23:09 ricardo         So, that's about 8 Minutes "against" more than 10 HOURS (!)
23:09 chris           thats more like it
23:09 ricardo         22708 MARC records done in 478.975821018219 seconds
23:09 ricardo         Finished running bulkmarcimport.pl
23:07 ricardo         chris: right
23:07 chris           yeah before, to be safe
23:06 ricardo         chris: BEFORE running "rebuild_nozebra.pl" I should turn "NoZebra" back on, right? Or is it OK to only enable it after running "rebuild_nozebra.pl" (I guess not)
23:06 Nate            Thats great to hear chris
23:06 pianohackr|work hi brendan
23:06 chris           Nate: getting better
23:06 ricardo         chris: Nod
23:05 chris           ricardo: yep, the search wont work so well until its done tho
23:05 Nate            heard you were under the weather
23:05 Nate            hiya chris
23:05 ricardo         chris: Is it safe to abort "rebuild_nozebra.pl" if I see that it's very slow? (And run it again, later, "sending" it to the background)
23:05 chris           heya Nate
23:05 Nate            Happy Weekend everyone!
23:04 chris           yeah the way the indexes work, it has to scan them ... so as they grow it just gets slower and slower
23:04 ricardo         chris: Right... In the original one, it was taking about 5 minutes or so (per 100 records) in the later "batches"  :S
23:03 chris           that sounds about right
23:03 ricardo         But this is A LOT faster. It's loading about 100 records every 3 seconds
23:02 ricardo         chris: *nod*
23:02 brendan         heya pianohackr|work
23:02 chris           ricardo: that means it will load fast, but the rebuild_nozebra will probably take a whi;e
23:02 chris           hence nozebra is only for small record sets
23:01 chris           so evertime you change something it indexes that change
23:01 chris           it indexes continuously
23:01 ricardo         chris: Holy Smokes! You just switched ON the "Turbo Mode"!  :D
23:01 chris           pianohackr|work: nozebra doesnt use a cron job
23:00 pianohackr|work s/disable/disabling/
23:00 ricardo         chris: Sounds like a plan to me  :)
23:00 pianohackr|work chris: if index rebuilding is the problem, wouldn't just disable the cronjob fix it? I admit I understand nozebra as little as possible
23:00 chris           if so then you can do the imprt, then turn nozebra back on and do the rebuild_nozebra.pl
22:59 chris           it might be the building the nozebra index gets slower the more records are inserted
22:59 ricardo         I think I'll try that *right now*. Thanks for the tip
22:59 chris           try the import
22:59 chris           turn nozebra off (dont install zebra, just turn it off)
22:58 chris           another thing to try ricardo
22:50 ricardo         I know, I know: "Linux machines don't need reboots". But, when it's almost 23H and I'm still at work, I'll try anything
22:49 ricardo         (I believe that, if there's a memory leak, it's persistent. Let me reboot this baby)
22:48 ricardo         pianohackr|work: That's a very nice tip. I almost never used "screen", but this seems a terrific "use case" to use it
22:47 pianohackr|work You could run it inside a screen session, detach, then reattach later and see how it was doing
22:47 pianohackr|work ricardo: Do you have screen installed?
22:45 ricardo         I'm now using "--commit". Let's see if that's faster. If it's not, I'll run this again, redirect output to a file and head home
22:44 ricardo         (that's almost 10 Hours for 21400 records)
22:44 ricardo         578m32.482s
22:43 ricardo         21400 records
22:43 ricardo         gmcharlt: I got fed up and aborted the process... Here's the times for the aborted process:
22:33 ricardo         Ropuch: OK :)  If you can do that in Perl instead, I'm betting that there's some module in CPAN to help you. PHP also has some Regexp functions (and there's also PEAR that is a *lot* smaller than CPAN, but may also have some good module)
22:32 Ropuch          ricardo don't bother, I'll try to figure/google it put myself :)
22:29 ricardo         Ropuch: Hmmm.... I guess you can do that with RegExp, but I'm not sure if that will be the most efficient way of solving that problem. Let me try it something with some RegExp online tester
22:28 ricardo         gmcharlt: "commit the number of records to wait before performing a 'commit' operation" ... I'm NOT using "commit" and that might explain why this is taking this long (probably it's creating a very large "commit stack" now - my term... I don't know what is the "official" expression)
22:27 Ropuch          I have html file and want to extract everything between <body class="foo"></body>
22:26 Ropuch          I'm trying some really simple thing
22:26 ricardo         Ropuch: I haven't touched PHP in several years... But, if you wish, you may ask the question regarding "Regexps"
22:25 ricardo         It's around 18%
22:24 ricardo         gmcharlt: Oh... I was just talking to my imaginary friend ;-)
22:24 gmcharlt        but no, memory consumption looks OK
22:24 gmcharlt        was wondering why you were talking to yourself
22:24 ricardo         gmcharlt: "27097 root      20   0 98.7m  87m 5088 S  1.3 17.7  23:27.18 bulkmarcimport."
22:24 ricardo         ricardo: "27097 root      20   0 98.7m  87m 5088 S  1.3 17.7  23:27.18 bulkmarcimport."
22:24 gmcharlt        if it's bunches, there may be a memory leak involved, in which case it's slowing down because its abusing swap
22:23 ricardo         joetho: West Coast, Portugal  ;-)
22:23 joetho          west coast US?
22:23 gmcharlt        another thing to check - look at the process in top, see how much memory it's consuming
22:23 ricardo         (yep, still at work...)
22:23 ricardo         joetho: Friday, 22H21 here
22:23 ricardo         gmcharlt: I'll have to wait a bit before doing that (it's importing now), but yes, I'll try that in a while
22:22 joetho          nope, not really
22:22 Ropuch          s/nows/knows
22:22 joetho          wow, it must be Friday afternoon where you are
22:22 Ropuch          joetho: you look like someone who nows php/regexps ;>
22:22 ricardo         joetho: So, the general conclusion is: "Size matters"?  ;-)
22:22 gmcharlt        ricardo: bulkmarcimport?  try adding a --commit 200 to the command line
22:22 joetho          I suppose.
22:21 joetho          I look like a small import?
22:21 Ropuch          joetho: you look like one! ;>
22:21 joetho          then if one batch hung up, why, blame the records
22:21 Ropuch          Anyone proficient with regexp/php?
22:21 ricardo         joetho: *nod*
22:21 joetho          anyway, I was going to suggest smaller imports if possible,
22:21 ricardo         gmcharlt: Any tips / info /suspicions regarding my issue?
22:20 joetho          well I do on that OTHER channel
22:20 ricardo         ;-)
22:20 ricardo         gmcharlt++
22:20 ricardo         gmcharlt: LOL!
22:20 munin           gmcharlt: The operation succeeded.  Quote #53 added.
22:20 gmcharlt        @quote add joetho: what kind of shape are the records in?
22:20 gmcharlt        joetho: no you don't :)
22:19 ricardo         LOL!
22:19 joetho          I guess I get to say anything I want.
22:19 joetho          HA
22:18 munin           ricardo: Error: You must be registered to use this command. If you are already registered, you must either identify (using the identify command) or add a hostmask matching your current hostmask (using the "hostmask add" command).
22:18 ricardo         @quote add joetho: what kind of shape are the records in?
22:18 ricardo         joetho: Right... I wonder if I broke down the ISO file in several ones, would that accelerate the process? Not sure
22:18 joetho          is this a production server?
22:18 joetho          and anyway I don't think this causing your slowdown
22:18 joetho          I have experienced slowdowns with other processes involving large numbers of giant records, but I haven't imported tens of thousands of records at once
22:17 munin           ricardo: Error: The command "add" is available in the Alias, Bugzilla, Herald, Lart, News, Quote, and Todo plugins.  Please specify the plugin whose command you wish to call by using its name as a command before "add".
22:17 ricardo         @add joetho: what kind of shape are the records in?
22:17 ricardo         Eheh... OK, seriously: some of them have relatively large abstracts, but not many of them, I think
22:17 ricardo         LOL!
22:16 joetho          isosceles trapezoidal?
22:16 joetho          not long and pointy?
22:16 joetho          I wonder if some records have huge fields
22:16 ricardo         joetho: I think they are a bit rectangular...  ;-)
22:15 joetho          what kind of shape are the records in?
22:15 ricardo         Swap:   771080k total,       88k used,   770992k free,   224892k cached
22:15 joetho          hmmm
22:15 ricardo         Mem:    505820k total,   498460k used,     7360k free,   134544k buffers
22:15 ricardo         Cpu(s):  9.4%us, 13.4%sy,  0.0%ni,  0.3%id, 74.9%wa,  0.0%hi,  2.0%si,  0.0%st
22:14 ricardo         joetho: Yep
22:14 joetho          the slowdown seems to be triggered by the import?
22:13 joetho          ricardo - does your system seem normal otherwise?
22:12 ricardo         Rats... Schuster has given a friendly tip and then run off. I would reply that I'm NOT using Zebra.
22:10 schuster        with that tip I'm gone for the weekend!
22:09 schuster        ZEBRA has probably kicked in causing things to slowwwww downnnn...
22:08 ricardo         (this is a Virtual Machine with 512 Megs RAM allocated, running SUSE, if that's relevant)
22:06 ricardo         Does anyone have the same problem that I do: in 3.0.X, a bulkmarcimport seems to get slower as it progresses loading an ISO file with some tens of thousands of records. That is, the first 1000 records are quickly imported, but the next 1000 records take a bit longer than that... and when it has loaded 10000 records or so, it seems to be "crawling"...
22:04 ricardo         Hi everyone!
21:52 wizzyrea        have a good weekend, stay safe east-coasters :)
21:52 wizzyrea        going home, this snow is just silly
21:52 wizzyrea        ok, giving up
21:30 Ropuch          Ok, much better after tidy
21:14 * owen          leaves to brave the terrifying, er, rain.
21:13 jwagner         Enjoy the snow, everyone who lives in the target region.  The rest of you, enjoy whatever the weather gods send you :-)
21:11 chris_n         enough fun for one day.... bbl
21:06 Ropuch          But let's what tidy can do about it
21:05 Ropuch          I was trying to be nice when I said 'ugly' ;>
21:05 owen            Wow ugly is right
21:01 Ropuch          Source is really ugly ;>

20:54 wizzyrea        you don't want that to stay on your server, right chris?
20:54 chris           and i have a search
20:54 chris           http://stats.workbuffer.org/manual_en/
20:54 chris           thats what my script does
20:54 wizzyrea        oh that is pretty

20:53 wizzyrea        o cool
20:53 jdavidb         I've been trying to "slow-food" more.  Found some lovely local providers at the Dupont Circle farmer's market.  yummmmy butter n cheese...
20:53 wizzyrea        electric mixer
20:53 Ropuch          wizzyrea: gimme sec, i have it locally
20:53 pianohackr|work wizzyrea: Hmm. In a churn, or an electric mixer?
20:53 jwagner         I grew up on a farm.  Cream fresh from the morning milking on the breakfast cereal.  Yum.
20:53 wizzyrea        Ropuch: link?
20:53 wizzyrea        I mean you can do it with heavy whipping, but it takes a while
20:53 Ropuch          docbook2html produces quite nice output with images
20:52 wizzyrea        and un-homogenized
20:52 wizzyrea        like, from the cow, practically
20:52 wizzyrea        but you have to have VERY fresh cream to make it
20:52 wizzyrea        yes, indeed
20:52 pianohackr|work homemade butter is also good
20:51 jdavidb         Yeah, we have that brand here; just not what I buy.
20:50 jdavidb         ah...
20:50 wizzyrea        you may not have this where you are
20:50 wizzyrea        yea, land o lakes butter?
20:50 jdavidb         butter, wizzyrea?
20:50 wizzyrea        mmmm butter
20:49 moodaepo        Yea damn swamp country er I mean land of lakes.
20:49 brendan         my temp doesn't change much all year
20:48 brendan         but during the summer - you will most likely beat me on a daily basis
20:48 nengard         and there is no snow here yet - it will come tonight
20:48 moodaepo        chris_n: You betcha it's usually the other end of brendan's temp gauge up here
20:48 nengard         i'm home under a blanket already :)
20:48 wizzyrea        just stay safe in the nasty weather
20:48 nengard         for now - if we can get the manual up in any searchable format that would make me happy - we can make it pretty later - as long as it's searchable and readable i'm a-ok
20:48 wizzyrea        :)
20:48 wizzyrea        nengard: i'm pretty sure it can be done
20:47 nengard         wizzyrea - okay it's friday my brain is fried - it's been a crazy week for me - lots of work - so maybe i think about this tomorrow or next week
20:47 moodaepo        brendan allo
20:47 nengard         but those are the big parts
20:47 wizzyrea        dk why it wouldn't be
20:47 nengard         some of it is CSS ...
20:46 nengard         chris wizzyrea i just realized - we're not taking about editing the css - we're talking about putting an include at the top and bottom of the manual - to include the head and the footer -- is that possible?
20:46 chris_n         heatwave moodaepo?
20:45 nengard         i know - i'm good :)
20:45 chris_n         wow.. documentation in latin... very good nengard ;-)
20:45 jwagner         It's been snowing for over 4 hours, but it's finally starting to stick rather than just turning wet.  Now, about that two feet of snow forecast....
20:45 munin           chris: The current temperature in Wellington, New Zealand is 19.0�C (9:00 AM NZDT on February 06, 2010). Conditions: Clear. Humidity: 83%. Dew Point: 16.0�C. Pressure: 30.36 in 1028 hPa (Steady).

20:37 wizzyrea        that and the content divs
20:37 joetho          I kind of like it in Latin.
20:36 nengard         guess we just ignore 'sidebar.php' and ta da it's done
20:36 nengard         that's what i was thinking
20:36 nengard         yup yup
20:35 wizzyrea        http://koha-community.org/documentation/
20:35 wizzyrea        nengard: no actual content, but this is what it could look like

20:30 brendan         @wunder 93117
20:30 brendan         yummy saltwater
20:30 joetho          We should all rinse our mouths with saltwater
20:30 chris           but now im off to rinse my mouth with saltwater
20:30 chris           then i could just scp the dir somewhere
20:29 chris           not me tho :) but when someone does, and updates the css in git, my script will start using it
20:29 nengard         and just have the header and footer from the wp theme
20:29 nengard         also we would want to remove the right column from the manual for space sake
20:29 nengard         that's what i figured
20:27 chris           yeah with some work you could marry manual.css and style.css into something useful
20:22 nengard         brb
20:22 chris           lemme try something gimme 5 mins
20:21 wizzyrea        doesn't matter to me, the link to the theme is at the bottom of every page
20:21 wizzyrea        Ah
20:21 nengard         the reason the manual looked the way it did on Chris' server was cause of the CSS I wrote up/edited
20:21 joetho          those big bars on the side?
20:21 nengard         and then it will look seamless
20:21 nengard         wizzrea i can apply the same CSS to the manual as the one we use on WP
20:20 wizzyrea        which I think we do
20:20 wizzyrea        not if you want it to match the rest of the site
20:20 Ropuch          Maybe I'll set up a wordpress and read some xslt docs
20:20 nengard         just pointing things out :)
20:20 wizzyrea        mmm probably not
20:20 nengard         not -unrelaxed
20:20 joetho          I wonder if it would be better to make it a freestanding directory, completely out of the wp thing.
20:20 wizzyrea        i know it's exciting :)
20:19 wizzyrea        yea, relax chum, we'll get there ;)
20:19 nengard         also it's all on one page - and that's a BUTTLOAD of content for one page ... the old script Chris used at least spit it into pages
20:19 joetho          well it IS friday afternoon
20:19 wizzyrea        yes, that is probably a function of the kit we used
20:18 nengard         ick - and the bullets aren't there
20:18 wizzyrea        but it is there
20:18 wizzyrea        it seems to have put some junk in
20:18 wizzyrea        try it now
20:18 wizzyrea        lol
20:18 wizzyrea        sheesh
20:18 wizzyrea        yes yes
20:18 wizzyrea        hmm
20:18 joetho          although I am one to talk, my php project on my server at joetho.com has been dead in the water for months
20:17 Ropuch          Warning: require(../../../wp-blog-header.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/koha-community/public_html/wp-content/themes/cordobo-green-park-2/docs.php on line 8
20:17 joetho          can't you use an html directory in wp?
20:15 * jdavidb       did *not* need to know about joetho's panties.
20:15 nengard         LOL
20:15 joetho          but I bet that's where it will be soon, and my panties are not moving, regardless
20:15 nengard         i love the manual and all -- but not that much
20:15 nengard         that saying is so silly :) hehe
20:14 wizzyrea        just a min lol keep your panties on
20:14 wizzyrea        nm
20:14 wizzyrea        no, I mean, email at the speed of light >.>
20:14 joetho          well NOW it is
20:14 nengard         LOL - not that silly :) that's empty
20:14 joetho          http://koha-community.org/documentation/
20:12 nengard         where do i go to see?
20:12 nengard         i wanna see!! :)
20:12 wizzyrea        hey look at that
20:11 wizzyrea        woot!
20:11 chris           yep, on its way to the right address now
20:11 wizzyrea        lrea does though ;)
20:11 wizzyrea        haha. oh sigh.
20:11 chris           did you know liz@ doesnt work, you should fix that :-)
20:10 joetho          so put a disclaimer that the dox project is being moved so may look a little rough
20:10 owen            Can anyone confirm? Renew column empty on checkout page for patrons with checkouts from today?
20:10 chris           just wanna see how horrible it looks :)
20:09 chris           but that shouldnt be hard to fix
20:09 wizzyrea        possibly
20:09 chris           probably missing all the images
20:09 joetho          I think that the 3.2 activity of the last few days is going to make the 3.2 dox pretty popular
20:09 wizzyrea        totally new territory for me, sorry
20:09 wizzyrea        ty ty
20:09 chris           on its way
20:08 * owen          sees an empty "renew" column on circulation.pl for a patron with checkouts from today
20:08 joetho          chris- the cowboy way would be to put your html directory into a zip file and send it to liz to post as a directory
20:07 * owen          suspects CanBookBeRenewed is messing up somewhere but can't figure out where
20:07 wizzyrea        ya
20:07 chris           to your nekls address?
20:07 wizzyrea        AH
20:07 chris           its what that docbook-kit generated for me
20:07 wizzyrea        send it to me plox :)
20:07 wizzyrea        lol
20:07 chris           who knows
20:07 wizzyrea        this is just a php script? or a plugin?
20:06 joetho          I have a pretty big php mess on my own server that I don't have time to troubleshoot
20:06 Ropuch          Nah, such a plugin is nice challenge
20:06 chris           cos i do have the file now, i just dunno how to put it up on the site
20:05 wizzyrea        Ropuch: it's ok
20:05 Ropuch          wizzyrea: wish i was more proficient with php/wordpress
20:05 chris           how do i upload that to the site?
20:05 chris           so if i have a koha3-2manual.wp.php
20:05 wizzyrea        (she probably always does)
20:04 chris           ok
20:04 wizzyrea        which might mean that nicole has a special branch for writing, and one for display
20:04 wizzyrea        is something that git pulls the XML/HTML, converts it, then outputs it on a schedule without anybody having to touch it.
20:03 wizzyrea        What I really want, if we're talking pie in the sky...
20:02 Ropuch          But maybe I was thinking about asciidoc
20:02 Ropuch          I was sure docBook can export documents to html
20:00 Ropuch          Yes, I saw the docs :)
20:00 nengard         chris has a script he uses to generate the HTML now
20:00 wizzyrea        then a tag to output it in a page
20:00 Ropuch          Ok, I get it
20:00 wizzyrea        cache the conversion on a schedule
19:59 wizzyrea        maybe, point the plugin at a git repo that holds the docs
19:59 wizzyrea        hmm
19:59 wizzyrea        like
19:59 wizzyrea        and then the ability to easily embed that in a WP page
19:59 wizzyrea        what she said
19:59 nengard         display
19:59 nengard         it needs to translate docbook XML into HTML for dispaly
19:58 Ropuch          nengard, wizzyrea: what such a plugin is supposed to do? Step-by-step: nengard writes documentation and exports it in this wp-friendly output and then what?
19:54 * owen          braces himself
19:53 * chris         tries something out
19:47 chris           http://github.com/remko/docbook-kit/blob/master/README
19:46 wizzyrea        very useful
19:46 wizzyrea        actually that would be a super awesome wordpress plugin
19:45 Ropuch          last time i was using wp... ;>
19:44 nengard         Ropuch wanna write one for me :)
19:44 Ropuch          Ask someone to write one for you ;-)
19:44 wizzyrea        humbug
19:43 nengard         wizzyrea i had already looked for a plugin - no luck
19:43 Ropuch          And freeware and open source is equal for them
19:42 Ropuch          Which pisses me off
19:42 Ropuch          I know, but our library scientist don't - yet they are publishing articles without conducting proper searchs first
19:41 chris           yeah, vufind, blacklight, sopac, scriblio etc
19:39 Ropuch          chris: I just want to inform the author  that Encore isn't the only one opac-addon that can work with different ILS ;>
19:33 * wizzyrea      was hoping for a plugin :P
19:33 nengard         chris i agree - aqua browser is horrible!!
19:33 wizzyrea        yea, I'm not quite comprehending it either lol
19:32 nengard         no prob at all - that's why i put it in email so it was saved :)
19:32 chris           that article is too hard for my brain to comprehend nengard will read again when im not on drugs
19:32 chris           :)
19:32 chris           aqua browser is horrible, fwiw
19:30 Ropuch          chris: I know, but in the article only Scriblio, Encore and Aqua browser are mentioned
19:29 wizzyrea        dk if it will help us, but we'll see
19:29 nengard         clicking now
19:29 nengard         WOO HOO
19:29 wizzyrea        nengard: http://el-tramo.be/blog/integrating-docbook-with-wordpress
19:20 chris           they did sopac (The drupal one) integration with koha
19:20 chris           you might want to talk to the biblibre guys
19:18 Ropuch          And want some facts in my reply :)
19:18 Ropuch          I'm curious
19:18 Ropuch          Although there's not much sense in integrating it with Koha, I'll give it a try
19:17 chris           yeah the point was that it should work with any, might be some mucking around, but it should be possible
19:17 Ropuch          I've made my point alredy - the author said that Scriblio works only with particular ILS, which is not true (with marc importing)
19:16 pianohacker     brb work
19:15 Ropuch          I know that one can import marc records into it
19:15 chris           in theory yes Ropuch
19:15 Ropuch          I;m just writing a reply to some poor written article - scriblio works regardles of ILS?
19:15 * jwagner       pouts
19:14 jwagner         I wanna go :-(
19:12 Ropuch          Lucky ;>
19:11 wizzyrea        yessss
19:11 chris           officially registered now
19:11 chris           yep, and you are stored in the db
19:10 chris           cool
19:10 wizzyrea        seems to work!!
19:00 jwagner         Let Laurel take them while you get some peace and quiet :-)
19:00 chris           and sickbed is crowded with them all in it too hehe
19:00 chris           hehe i shouldnt, but the kids would love that
18:59 jwagner         chris, you aren't leaving your sickbed to go frolic, are you???
18:58 chris           http://www.elementsfestival.org.nz/programme.html
18:49 chris_n         good to see you getting back well
18:49 * chris_n       greets chris
18:35 chris           hi Ropuch
18:34 Ropuch          Hi chris
18:32 chris           heh
18:30 schuster        wizzyrea is probably on it!
18:30 chris           if someone who is planning to come wants to test the form out, that would be sweet :)
18:29 chris           ok, i think that is good to go now
18:29 nengard         pianohacker you should also probably report bugs for all of the items you decided to not include in the sys prefs because they didn't work or whatever
18:28 chris           got it
18:28 nengard         no prob - you just have to tackle a few things i didn't know how to do :)
18:27 pianohacker     nengard++
18:26 chris           wil do
18:26 owen            border : 0;
18:25 owen            Oh sorry, didn't anticipate the default.
18:25 chris           cos now the border is bigger :)
18:25 chris           hmm took that out, but there must be another fieldset one
18:23 chris           okie dokie
18:23 chris           delete it totally?
18:23 owen            yeah, I don't think you need that border
18:22 chris           that line?
18:22 chris           border: 1px solid #EEE;
18:22 chris           fixed the li, editing the css now
18:21 owen            I would also remove the "border: 1px solid #EEE" from the fieldset CSS
18:21 chris           can do
18:21 chris           its the not being able to open your mouth wide enough to get the spoon in that is annoying
18:21 owen            <li class="radio">
18:21 owen            Are you able to change the markup of the last <li> ?
18:20 chris           jwagner: yeah its actually good, dairy is good for lining your stomach
18:20 chris           owen: http://kohacon.appspot.com/2010/registration/
18:20 jwagner         I can imagine.  Does ice cream count as food?
18:19 chris           its actually eating is the hard part, but i have to take the drugs with food
18:16 jwagner         (And all sympathies for the pain!)
18:16 jwagner         chris, a tip from one who's been there -- don't try coding on drugs :-)
18:15 chris           as long as i keep taking the drugs and getting rest should be all good
18:15 owen            Hi chris, I hope you're on the mend?
18:15 chris           morning
18:00 * jwagner       sneers at the storm. I've seen worse!

17:58 wizzyrea        @wunder 66047
17:58 wizzyrea        and it's not too cold, which is the part I like
17:58 jdavidb         We get that fluffy stuff here, too, wizzyrea.  Lindsey had never seen that before the December storm; it does *not* do that in West TX, ever.
17:57 * jdavidb       suggests that jwagner look over the tops of her glasses at the snowstorm brewing outside.
17:53 wizzyrea        fluffiest snow ever
17:53 wizzyrea        outside my house earlier
17:53 wizzyrea        http://yfrog.com/4efi8pj
17:53 jwagner         Personally, I find that just looking over the tops of my glasses usually works....
17:51 wizzyrea        lol
17:51 * jwagner_lunch wonders if it's safe to come back in, with all the glaring and glowering going on....
17:49 * chris_n       glowers at the rain, wishing it were snow :-(
17:47 wizzyrea        yay for backwards moving storms!
17:47 wizzyrea        this radar is awesome http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=TWX&product=NCR&overlay=11101111&loop=yes
17:47 * jdavidb       never needed a DAD glare with his kids.  Just lucky, I guess.
17:46 wizzyrea        if you're going to kohacon maybe Mr. Wizzyrea can show you his, it's frightful
17:44 * owen          just wishes his DAD glare worked better
17:43 wizzyrea        owen you crack me up
17:36 jdavidb         owen, it's been a pleasure working with you.  You realize you're doomed, right?
17:34 * owen          runs away laughing
17:34 owen            I know the one, and I know the appropriate response.
17:34 wizzyrea        don't make me use it, owen ;)
17:34 nengard         k - lunch time - did patching did documenting - probably have more of both after lunch
17:34 wizzyrea        you know the one
17:34 * wizzyrea      gets out the MOM glare
17:33 * wizzyrea      glares at owen

17:33 nengard         whatever we decide i agree - i know it will be open :)
17:33 owen            And don't forget someone sent you an image :P
17:33 nengard         i agree :0
17:33 wizzyrea        and chris
17:32 wizzyrea        easy for gmcharlt, nengard, and me to agree :)
17:32 wizzyrea        not if we get the license statement put on while we still only have 3 proper contributors :)
17:31 owen            wizzyrea: The difficulty about licensing with the Wiki was based on the long history of different contributors. At least we won't have that with the new site
17:31 wizzyrea        it is our shining beacon of kumbaya singing community happiness, and I want to keep it that way
17:30 wizzyrea        I am loathe to have any drama surrounding koha-community.org
17:29 wizzyrea        >.<
17:29 wizzyrea        i agree with you on that, then we'd never have to have this argument again
17:29 * chris_n       thinks we need to settle on a licensing scheme to cover all things Koha once and for all
17:27 chris_n         and this update would fail if there exist duplicate ids

17:27 wizzyrea        here goes nothin...

17:19 wizzyrea        or would that ignite a firestorm?
17:19 wizzyrea        So, licensing. Guess I should just send that to the list then?
17:08 Ropuch          But someone had to say that emperor is naked
17:07 Ropuch          I talked too much inconvenient things bacj then when I was workinh in the institute
17:06 Ropuch          They don't like me anyway
17:06 nengard         cool
17:06 nengard         :)

17:05 Ropuch          "scientits' know noyhing about real work
17:05 nengard         it's worth contacting the author and telling them that they're idiots
17:05 Ropuch          Tha main problem is that there's a hole between librarians and 'library scientists' teaching at the University
17:03 Ropuch          But the article is nothing special, really
17:03 Ropuch          Here

17:03 Ropuch          It's from 'Uniwersum pi�miennictwa wobec komunikacji elektronicznej'
17:03 nengard         k - if someone gives me the citation i'll see what i can do
17:03 hdl_laptop      and maybe ggltranslate
17:02 wizzyrea        google translate?
17:02 hdl_laptop      maybe translated into polish FROM english
17:02 nengard         i could still find it - just not read it :)
17:02 Ropuch          nengard: it is in polish :)
17:02 nengard         ah
17:02 hdl_laptop      nengard: could be in polish ;)
17:01 nengard         what's the citation? I can find a copy of it if I have a citation
17:00 wizzyrea        and that *was* it's original purpose
17:00 wizzyrea        well, it does that too lol

17:00 Ropuch          You too

16:59 Ropuch          The author refers to WordPress as "blogging management system"
16:58 Ropuch          Our library science is on its way down
16:58 wizzyrea        where rallied = planning our escape (or rather, hoping that PTFS will save us... we're optimistic)
16:58 Ropuch          and i was pretty sure it's just a copy of another one
16:57 Ropuch          the article is shitty anyway
16:57 Ropuch          Yep
16:57 wizzyrea        rallied around liblime... <grumble>
16:57 wizzyrea        yes, what journal?
16:57 Ropuch          On monday
16:57 gmcharlt        what journal?
16:56 wizzyrea        ohh a print article
16:56 Ropuch          wizzyrea: I can scan it
16:56 Ropuch          The text is full of error
16:56 wizzyrea        link
16:56 wizzyrea        omg
16:56 Ropuch          Ugh! I've just finished reading an article about new OPACs, and although Koha is mentioned, it is said that "Koha is developed by librarians rallied round LIbLime"
16:55 hdl_laptop      IsMemberBlocked is simply trying to see if the user is debarred or not
16:54 joetho          Bug 4036
16:54 hdl_laptop      But it is a rewrite and changes the debarred behaviour to be a date
16:53 hdl_laptop      there is work on that part at the moment.
16:53 nengard         wil do
16:53 gmcharlt        nengard: you're right, mark that as a blocker for 3.2  - getting WebBasedSelfCheck to actually work is easy

16:52 owen            hdl_laptop: could you look at Bug 4036?
16:52 hdl_laptop      yes
16:52 wizzyrea        I know slef usually has an opinion on these things, that's why I asked :/
16:52 owen            hdl_laptop?
16:50 nengard         gmcharlt - no matter what i set WebBasedSelfCheck to i can access the web self checkout page ... so maybe the notes were right in saying that the pref didn't work
16:49 owen            Should we stick to GPL 2 for other content?
16:48 owen            Since we're going through this with the wiki: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=relicensing ...

16:42 owen            wizzyrea: How about this? http://zivotdesign.com/examples/kohalogo-g.png
16:36 * jwagner       thinks I'll head for the liquor store, er, fast food joint
16:33 nengard         got a question - does  OpacPrivacy control whether the patron reading history is kept in the staff client as well? cause if the data is kept at all then it's not really private ....
16:21 chris_n         but dups are not caught by the import_borrowers.pl script
16:20 chris_n         ok, dup userid's are caught when creating new patrons
16:16 owen            Yeah, thanks for reminding me
16:16 wizzyrea        owen: I know you're terribly busy... you said you had an alternate koha logo for the temp website?
16:16 chris_n         it bears more looking into and fixing as well
16:15 chris_n         I'll open a bug for it
16:15 owen            ...but really it's warning about the OPAC login, not the password.
16:15 chris_n         all of the essentials: food and wireless internet
16:15 wizzyrea        hehehe

16:14 jwagner         (I think chris_n falls in the "buy a boat" area)!
16:14 owen            This from memberentry.pl
16:14 chris_n         owen: tnx
16:14 owen            Yes
16:14 jwagner         The OPAC login?
16:14 owen            "Login/password already exists."
16:14 owen            chris_n: I tried to save a patron record with a duplicate username and password and I got an error
16:13 chris_n         jwagner: no borrowers.userid
16:13 wizzyrea        yea, you'll note that I also fall in the "hit the liquor store" area :D
16:13 jwagner         chris_n, you mean patron barcodes?  I thought it wouldn't let you save a duplicate?
16:13 jdavidb         I love that graphic, wizzyrea!
16:13 * jwagner       falls in the totally screwed category....
16:12 jwagner         wizzyrea -- Harrumph!
16:12 * owen          obeys wizzyrea and hits the liquor store
16:12 chris_n         am I correct in the thought that it appears at present we do not check for/limit duplicate userid's
16:11 wizzyrea        and good morning
16:11 wizzyrea        http://twitpic.com/11i0dy
16:11 wizzyrea        for you east coasters
16:11 owen            Thanks, I couldn't remember if I'd filed a bug before

16:09 jwagner         There's Bug 4036, but I thought there was an earlier bug/patch too
16:07 jwagner         But I could be mistaken....
16:07 jwagner         I know it's shown up & I thought it was patched.
16:07 owen            jwagner: Did you think it was fixed?
16:06 schuster        ???circ error message???
16:04 jwagner         Again??? That one keeps showing up....
16:01 gmcharlt        very zen-like
16:01 * owen          grumbles about this circ error message: http://zivotdesign.com/examples/circ-error-message.png
15:57 gmcharlt        owen: if you're feeling even more ambitious, a new C4 function to create the IntranetBiblioDefaultView redirect would be nice
15:22 nengard         thanks gmcharlt
15:21 * owen          will see if he can make it so
15:21 hdl_laptop      owen: yes.
15:19 gmcharlt        nengard: I've pushed them - I'll leave it to you to deal with updating/closing the bugs
15:14 owen            hdl_laptop: Do you agree that this redirect should follow the  IntranetBiblioDefaultView  system preference?
15:14 nengard         gmcharlt - i think i'm done with the sys prefs patches
15:14 hdl_laptop      this was asked
15:14 hdl_laptop      when you create a new record, then redirection is on additem
15:13 hdl_laptop      owen when you modify a record, it is quite logicial to be redirected to the display of the record.
14:59 gmcharlt        would be nice
14:58 owen            I wonder if that redirect should obey the bibliodefaultview preference
14:58 gmcharlt        +1 (no need for syspref, then)
14:58 owen            Maybe a button that says "save and add items?"
14:57 jwagner         I prefer it this way -- it's always annoyed me that editing a bib record takes me into item creation instead of back to the display.
14:57 gmcharlt        so whether operator pref is needed will be decided by whether I get a herd of angry catalogers outside my door
14:57 * owen          will have to warn them
14:57 owen            Beware of changing catalogers' expectations about their workflow!
14:56 gmcharlt        makes sense to me too
14:56 owen            I guess that makes a certain amount of sense.
14:56 gmcharlt        owen: ok, looks like creating new bib sends you to item form, editing bib does not
14:55 gmcharlt        (actually, staff operator preferences, as opposed to system preferences, would be nice to add for 3.4)
14:54 gmcharlt        seems like it should be a cataloger preference
14:54 gmcharlt        hdl_laptop: ^^ commit is 709e3b - why was change made?
14:54 * owen          doesn't know
14:53 gmcharlt        hmm - when did that happen?
14:53 * owen          notices that saving a MARC record now redirects you to the MARC detail page rather than the additem screen

14:16 gmcharlt        e.g., if on-shelf hold requests are allowed, library may want the hold request to trump
14:16 gmcharlt        depends on what the library wants
14:16 gmcharlt        by providing options - (a) silently allow the loan and rejigger the holds queue (b) add an ability for staff member to enter override on the spot (c) stick with current bheavior
14:15 schuster        I don't know how you would enhance it...  I guess maybe a message with a prompt for override by someone with appropriate credentials?
14:14 gmcharlt        schuster: it's an enhancement request though, so please *do* put it into bugs.koha.org ;)
14:14 schuster        FYI we LOVE WebBasedSelfCheck... as it is...
14:14 schuster        actually that isn't a bug but a workflow issue. so I won't bug it...
14:14 nengard         will do gmacharlt
14:13 schuster        Meaning the self check won't allow you to checkout a book on hold for someone else and there isn't an easy way to override it - the librarian has to get involved.
14:13 gmcharlt        nengard: ping me when you're done with prefs patches for the day - I'll push 'em en masse
14:13 schuster        WebBasedSelfCheck works great - we only have one problem is dealing with holds...  But I havn't put any money back into that.  I'll create a bug to track it.

14:03 hilongo         @wunder mendoza, Argentina
14:03 owen            :D
14:03 hilongo         oohh.. if tou could see how pretty is everything around here ... with all the sun and flowers and birds  :P
14:03 jdavidb         owen++  ;I'd be in for that.
14:02 nengard         LOL
14:02 * gmcharlt      calls up owen's boss ;)
14:02 nengard         :)
14:02 gmcharlt        owen++
14:01 * owen          will call a 48-hour bug-squashing marathon if so
14:01 * owen          hopes he doesn't have to spend the weekend at work
14:00 owen            Freezing rain here, schools are already closed.
14:00 rhcl_awake      well, we got an inch last night
14:00 imp             nice :)
13:59 jdavidb         We're expecting 18-24" in the next 36 hours here.
13:59 chris_n         the rainpocalypse is in progress in NC
13:59 chris_n         lol jdavidb :-)
13:57 * jdavidb       checks the clock... then looks out a window... no, the Snowpocalypse hasn't started yet.
13:57 imp             it's nearly 15:00 ;)
13:56 jdavidb         Early?
13:56 rhcl_awake      what are all you people doing on here so early in the morning? coffee ain't even boiled yet
13:54 nengard         okay - another preference question - it used to be that you set  AnonSuggestions  to a borrower ID and used that patron for suggestions - but now it says on/off or allow/don't allow - so which is it?
13:51 * jwagner       sets the bloodhounds on gmcharlt's trail
13:46 matts           you welcome
13:46 nengard         thanks matts
13:46 matts           nengard, yes, it does require the https:// part
13:46 * gmcharlt      continues the tradition started yesterday, hides
13:45 chris_n         as if he is not busy enough already
13:45 chris_n         let's keep gmcharlt busy ;-)
13:45 nengard         3.2 is the goal!!!
13:45 nengard         patching is the word of the month :)
13:45 chris_n         patching is the word of the day
13:45 nengard         trying to add the missing sys prefs in
13:45 nengard         will do when i'm done patching :)
13:44 nengard         awesome
13:44 chris_n         nengard: patron card code should be all patched up now for you continued testing enjoyment
13:42 nengard         morning chris_n
13:42 nengard         hdl_laptop does casServerUrl require you enter the http:// or not?
13:40 chris_n         g'morning
13:38 nengard         schuster - I don't know - I can check when I'm done patching today - but many of the law librarians I know charge for research and I haven't worked with them for 3+ years now - so favors are getting less frequent :(
13:37 nengard         gmcharlt - no idea :) it was a text box in the old interface so I just copied that
13:37 gmcharlt        nengard: hdl_laptop: what are valid choices for OrderPdfFormat ? as is, that syspref is rather unfriendly
13:35 schuster        The whole Global thing gets tricky...
13:35 schuster        I was just reading Jo's post to the list about trademarks - do you have any Librarian Lawyer friends that deal with international laws?
13:34 nengard         here
13:34 schuster        nengard you here?
13:25 gmcharlt        make the 20 patche you just emailed
13:25 gmcharlt        hdl_laptop: ok, I'll ignore the 17 patches you just emailed and await a corrected submission
13:22 hdl_laptop      gmcharlt: the patches I just sent donot seem to be the latest ones I thought I should send
13:14 nengard         thanks!
13:14 nengard         that's what it looks like
13:14 hdl_laptop      I think OrderPdfFormat
13:13 nengard         now - hdl_laptop - are we still using the pdformat preference? or was that replaced by OrderPdfFormat?
13:13 owen            Hi all
13:13 nengard         gmcharlt - i worded that poorly - it's in the db fine, it's just displaying on the screen funny - but I solved it by adding text to the pull down
13:12 gmcharlt        nengard: try setting the syspref type to float
13:11 nengard         hmm - I'm working on adding the acq preferences back into Koha - but for some reason when I type 360,000.00 the system changes it to 360000  -- ideas?
13:06 hdl_laptop      patches resent
13:06 hdl_laptop      gmcharlt: you will have them in
13:06 jwagner         gremlins....
13:05 gmcharlt        jwagner: whatever it was, git.koha.org problem was transitory
13:01 gmcharlt        well, at this points commit IDs for cherry-picking from 3.0.x might be better anyway, assuming that the patches in question are reasonably self-contained
13:00 hdl_laptop      mmmm... maybe a smtp-server problem at that time
12:59 gmcharlt        I see no auto-truncate patches in the patch list queue - could you point them out to me?
12:58 kf              hdl_laptop: could be part of our problem - our installation is patched from 3.1.61
12:57 hdl_laptop      It is fixed on 3.0.x
12:57 jwagner         gmcharlt, I get a response eventually -- at least the page has started to display.  But it's VERY slow.
12:56 hdl_laptop      gmcharlt: I think I sent some patches about queryautotruncate.
12:56 gmcharlt        I've emailed cfouts about it
12:53 kf              gmcharlt: git - yes
12:53 kf              gmcharlt: icu indexing did not work with some search sys prefs on - so we had to turn them off. we will need to test icu next with that settings.
12:53 gmcharlt        is anybody else having problems getting a response from http://git.koha.org ?
12:50 kf              gmcharlt: with queryweightfields on, fuzzy off, truncate off it seems to work correctly here too
12:49 jwagner         morning all.
12:48 kf              I think this is the one that icu does not like
12:48 kf              oh
12:48 gmcharlt        kf: ok, found it, at least for my install - queryweightfields must be on
12:47 jdavidb         mornin', jwagner.
12:46 kf              have fuzzy to try and autotruncate to only if... and only truncated searches get results
12:46 kf              gmcharlt: no difference here
12:45 kf              guten morgen jwagner
12:45 gmcharlt        querryfuzzy = on seems to be required
12:43 gmcharlt        ah, wait, hold on ...
12:42 kf              oh my :(
12:42 gmcharlt        kf: no - instead, I'm seeing the behavior Ropuch seems, where the auto-truncate setting is ignored entirely
12:40 kf              gmcharlt: can you reproduce it in your installation?
12:39 munin           gmcharlt: The operation succeeded.
12:39 gmcharlt        @later tell chris_n patch added
12:36 munin           kf: The current temperature in Taegerwilen, Germany is 2.0�C (1:29 PM CET on February 05, 2010). Conditions: Light Rain. Humidity: 95%. Dew Point: 1.0�C. Windchill: 2.0�C. Pressure: 29.82 in 1009.7 hPa (Steady).
12:36 kf              @wunder Konstanz
12:35 jdavidb         Sounds about right...the calm before the storm.
12:34 munin           jdavidb: The current temperature in Flower Valley, Rockville, Maryland is -0.4�C (7:23 AM EST on February 05, 2010). Conditions: Overcast. Humidity: 75%. Dew Point: -4.0�C.

12:34 jdavidb         @wunder 20852
12:28 kf              seems like "only if * is added* means that you have to add * to get results at all :(
12:27 kf              good morning jdavidb
12:26 jdavidb         g'mornin, #koha.
12:26 kf              same with another word: query is off: stuttgart = 0 stuttgart* = 1109
12:25 kf              but not israel
12:24 kf              oh israel* works when its set to off
12:20 kf              my example is israel
12:19 gmcharlt        kf: re autotruncation, when queryautotruncate is off, it doesn't work for any search, even if the search term is a whole word?
12:04 kf              ah, ok, wrong screenshot - this is the working configuration, change QueryAutoTruncate and it stops working
12:03 kf              thats what Ropuch had - QueryFuzzy setting is different from our http://bagno.be/search.png
12:03 kf              http://opac.bsz-bw.de/koha_temp/search_config.png
12:03 kf              :)
12:03 kf              just made a screenshot
12:01 gmcharlt        hmm, if they're identical, then please send me the values of all of the search related sysprefs
11:57 kf              and search works fine when switching it on - should the problem not be located elsewhere in this case? search.pm or perhaps a bad sys pref combination?
11:57 kf              and they are the same
11:56 kf              my colleague told me he compared the files yesterday to those in git
11:50 gmcharlt        the whole /etc/koha/zebra directory
11:50 kf              which files do you need? bib1.att, records.abs, ccl.properties? a special folder from zebra?
11:49 kf              ok, thank you
11:48 kf              I got a bit unsure if its just a problem with our installation
11:48 gmcharlt        no need, I'll take care of it in a couple minutes
11:47 kf              should I file a bug for this?
11:47 kf              ah
11:47 gmcharlt        Makefile.PL needs to be updated
11:47 kf              can this be a problem caused by our standard install?
11:47 gmcharlt        rotating collections will be moved out of 3.2, but I know what's wrong re patron card creator and will fix that
11:46 kf              I cant access rotating collections and patron card creator - the files were not created
11:46 kf              there is another problem
11:46 gmcharlt        thans
11:46 kf              but I can ask him for them of course
11:45 kf              no additional indexes we added etc.
11:45 kf              no icu
11:45 kf              my colleague said its standard now
11:45 gmcharlt        interesting - based on that, I thnk I definitely would need to see your Zebra config files to debug further
11:44 kf              I asked Ropuch to test it in his installation, but is works with both settings for him, except that it always seems to truncate searches
11:43 kf              switching it to OFF = only if * is added breaks search
11:43 kf              we found out that switching QueryAutoTruncate ON = atomatically solves our search problem
11:42 kf              patched 3.01.61 - HEAD standard install
11:42 kf              we have some problems with our test installation
11:42 kf              ah hi
11:41 gmcharlt        hi kf
11:41 kf              gmcharlt: around?
10:40 kf              thank you :)
10:40 Ropuch          kf: if you need any further testing, just ping me ;>
10:39 Ropuch          And all the books with title/subject Brandt
10:38 Ropuch          But after few more searches i think  QueryAutoTruncate isn't working at all - when i search for querry 'Brand' with (only if * is added) I have Brand(t)meister in the results (QueryStemming is off)
10:37 kf              will try to talk to gmcharlt about it later, he made some suggestions yesterday what we could do or check
10:36 kf              thank you for testing Ropuch
10:36 kf              hm ok
10:36 Ropuch          I clean-installed head version and then imported my 3.00.05 dump before running web installer
10:35 Ropuch          Hm actually my update was unusual
10:35 kf              its just so strange
10:34 kf              ok, we came from 3.1.61
10:34 Ropuch          Updated
10:33 kf              have you a new installation or an updated one?
10:33 kf              somehow I hoped it would cause you problems too
10:33 kf              hm
10:32 Ropuch          kf: it's working
10:25 kf              in our installation it breaks search :(
10:20 kf              and make a keyword search?
10:19 kf              "only if * is added"
10:15 kf              can you try setting it off?
10:15 kf              we had it off
10:14 kf              sorry was afk
10:14 kf              ok
10:09 Ropuch          I'm pretty sure these are default settings
10:08 Ropuch          kf: my other search settings are: http://bagno.be/search.png
10:05 Ropuch          kf: and it works like it's supposed to be
09:59 Ropuch          I have QueryAutoTruncate set to auto
09:59 Ropuch          Sorry, phonecall
09:57 kf              we have problems with search when its turned off - turned on works fine. I just want to know if this is a general problem before filing a bug
09:53 kf              can yu tell me your current setting for QueryAutoTruncate?
09:52 kf              no head is fine
09:50 Ropuch          But I can set up alpha if you give me 5 minutes
09:50 Ropuch          kf: i have head
09:35 kf              ropuch: have you an alpha-installtion where you can test something for me?
09:26 Ropuch          :)
09:26 Ropuch          Yup
09:25 kf              I think its a really nice idea - would think one specific framework for serials would be nice too :)
09:23 Ropuch          kf: thanks!
09:16 kf              you can add one call it acq and modify 952 fields to your needs in acquisition
09:03 Ropuch          While adding an item to a basket i get "No ACQ framework, using default. You should create a framework with code ACQ, the items framework would be used"
09:01 nahuel          and all :)

03:55 braedon|work    well, goodnight #koha
03:47 braedon|work    damn
03:46 braedon|work    so no one around that could check nat lib for me?

03:40 SelfishMan      s
03:40 SelfishMan      aaaaaafafl;jflfjfdffdddfd
03:40 braedon|work    would someone be able to check searching nat library of NZ using the z39.50 search in Koha for me? It doesn't seem to work from Koha, but goes fine from my own perl script.
