03:19 wajasu sweet! 3.2 has a koha_perl_deps.pl script so now I can drive my distribution package builder from it!
03:22 Amit heya chris, brendan
03:22 brendan hi Amit
06:32 chris I think I have answered every email with send a patch today
06:37 chris I might make a template
07:10 kf good morning #koha
07:12 magnus hiya kf and #koha
07:12 kf morning magnus and paul_p
07:12 kf marc-must-die? :)
07:13 magnus kf: yup! it's about time
07:13 kf I am really looking forward to meet you :)
07:14 magnus and the same to you!
07:14 magnus my trip starts in exactly 2 months! ;-)
07:15 kf mine too :)

07:15 kf ah Jacob Voss contributed to your wiki
07:17 magnus yup. hope he is not the only one, or i will loose my faith in a better future for library data... ;-)
07:17 magnus @wunder bodo, norway
07:17 munin magnus: The current temperature in Bodo, Norway is 14.0�C (9:20 AM CEST on August 19, 2010). Conditions: Scattered Clouds. Humidity: 72%. Dew Point: 9.0�C. Pressure: 29.74 in 1007 hPa (Steady).
07:18 paul_p hi Europe (magnus & kf)
07:19 paul_p my trip start in less than 2 months, as we do a stop-and-go of 1 day in Kuala-Lumpur
07:19 magnus hiya paul_p
07:19 paul_p ;-)
07:19 magnus paul_p: sounds good!
07:20 kf :)
08:39 jt hi, is there any hardware requirement for a decent koha installation with about 250 simultaneous users?
08:41 pastebot "jt" at 203.115.201.100 pasted "koha goes to crawl/ without current users" (14 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/46
08:47 chris magnus: i wish you had killed marc before i started working on koha
08:47 kf jt: I don't know, our libraries are quite small and I am not sure what hardware we are using
08:47 kf evening chris :)
08:47 chris jt: simultaneous librarian users, or people using the opac
08:48 magnus chris: sorry about that, but i guess i have been a librarian about as long as you have worked on koha... ;-)
08:48 jt chris: the current nopaste is a koha server without users using it, but somehow it bring the server to crawl
08:49 jt what is the use of opac-reserver.pl by the way?
08:50 kf it normally appears when you make a reserve in the opac
08:50 kf or at least it did when I worked on that some time ago
08:50 kf reserve = hold
08:50 chris jt: theres no way they should be running that long
08:51 chris 55:34.02 opac-reserve.pl
08:51 jt is this a bug or server hacked?
08:51 chris not a bug
08:51 chris but unlikely its been hacked
08:52 kf I had problems with that when my perl code was not right - had to kill the processes
08:52 chris well if you put an infinite loop in it yeah, but if you havent edited opac-reserve.pl its unlikely to be that
08:52 chris more likely mysql is jammed
08:52 jt the usual approvch to resolve is to restart the server orweb server
08:53 jt but I don't think it will be the cure on the long run
08:53 chris yeah, thats not so much resolving as postponing :)
08:53 kf chris: I see... you know me ... I always manage to make infinite loops
08:53 kf :)
08:54 magnus kf: and you still think of yourself as a non-developer? ;-)
08:55 kf magnus: I think this is a good reason to think of me as a non-developer! :)
08:56 kf magnus: it took me about a week to get the code right - and all I wanted to do was to show serial enumeration in the item list for item level holds!
08:56 magnus kf: nah, it shows you try. the name does not say anything about how successfull you are :-)
08:57 kf hmpf. :)
08:57 chris jt: http://markmail.org/message/n6v2sikmud7vdtbb
08:58 jt chris: thanks, I'll try this out
08:59 DaGentooB I am looking at label-item-search.pl and on my installation if there is more then 1 page of results it lists the first 20 and then the rows for the rest and no data. If I try to go to the next page it lists the first 20 and that is it.
09:00 DaGentooB I was trying to download the latest from GIT but I clicked on the instructions link on the website and my dns said it couldn't find wiki.koha
09:02 chris which website?
09:02 wasabi http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Version_Control_Using_Git
09:02 chris www.koha-community.org is the official koha website, and what wasabi just pasted is the wiki :)
09:02 DaGentooB http://koha.org/download
09:02 wasabi heh, heya chris
09:02 Amit heya wasabi
09:02 chris yeah, dont believe koha.org
09:03 wasabi dagentoob: thats the *old* koha website ;)
09:03 chris its not under the control of the community, but one company, (it used to be community controlled)
09:03 chris so only that one company can update it, and they don't
09:03 DaGentooB oh ok
09:04 DaGentooB ok that makes more sense.
09:04 chris we keep hoping they will return the domain to the community, but they seem more interested in sowing confusion and being hostile instead
09:04 wasabi yes, lots of links on the old koha.org website don t work anymore :(
09:04 DaGentooB now... about label-item-search.pl
09:05 DaGentooB any idea why it would be doing that?
09:05 wasabi and people go there, like you dagentoob, and get confused :(
09:05 kf chris: my coworker has pootle permission problems and I dont see the language list when logged in - something wrong there again?
09:05 DaGentooB I am thinking that the for loop is putting in a row for every result
09:06 DaGentooB does anyone else have this problem?
09:06 kf chris: ok, correction, I can not login at all and German is empty?
09:07 chris DaGentooB: ive never used the label maker sorry
09:07 wasabi dagentoob: do you have more than 20 labels?
09:07 chris kf: i hope not, but ill look
09:07 DaGentooB yeah I do
09:07 kf chris: I hope it too, but what I see does not look good
09:07 DaGentooB I am hoping to print about 2000
09:08 chris http://translate.koha.org/de/
09:08 chris seems fine to me
09:08 wasabi dagentoob: check your log file, while generating your pdf...
09:08 kf can you check my user?
09:08 kf I can't login and resetting the password always tells me my email address does not exist
09:08 DaGentooB it isn't the pdf process that is hanging up... it is the search to add them to the batch
09:09 chris first does that look ok? ie is the german all there?
09:09 kf it does
09:09 kf give me a moment
09:09 chris i can login fine as me
09:09 chris looking at your user now
09:09 wasabi dagentoob you may have UTF characters that dont map to PDF char, in your label-data
09:09 kf I think I am stupid and my browsers autocomplete landed me on koha-community.org
09:09 chris yeah, that wont work :)
09:09 DaGentooB wasabi: the error is No item numbers retrieved for biblio number:
09:10 wasabi is there an item?
09:10 DaGentooB it looks like anything after 20 isn't getting retrieved
09:10 DaGentooB yes I am searching by barcode
09:10 kf ok, now I only have to find out why my coworker can't edit
09:11 wasabi pass, i cant look right now...
09:12 wasabi ... just got back from werk
09:13 DaGentooB $biblioitemnumber isn't getting populated after the first 20
09:13 DaGentooB I get the same 3 errors for each item after 20
09:14 DaGentooB Use of uninitialized value $biblionumber in hash element, Use of uninitialized value $biblionumber in sprintf, and No item numbers retrieved for biblio number:
09:14 wasabi yr bibdata is bad?
09:14 kf chris: sorry! It's all working now, I gave her the permissons for German
09:15 DaGentooB no... for some reason the for loop keeps going through results after the first 20 even though the results for that page have been reduced to 20 at a time
09:15 DaGentooB wonder what would happen if I just set the for loop to 20.... let me try it
09:17 DaGentooB ok that did work.... it now only displays 20 per page....
09:18 DaGentooB but it still won't advance to the next page
09:18 wasabi the form isnt sending a page=2 arg to the script?
09:19 DaGentooB well at the top it lists "Results 61 through 80 of 213"
09:19 DaGentooB so at least that part is going through
09:20 DaGentooB forgive my perl ignorance but does $iii have something to do with th $i that the for loop is using?
09:21 DaGentooB wait I see
09:21 DaGentooB ok so $marcresults->[$i]
09:22 DaGentooB is pulling the result number from the for loop
09:22 wasabi theres no current bug for your problem..
09:22 DaGentooB but the for loop is reset to 0 every time you change a page
09:22 wasabi http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/buglist.cgi?product=Koha&component=Label%20printing&resolution=---
09:23 DaGentooB yeah.... I searched before I came here
09:23 wasabi dagentoob if you are keen, you can try to log your problem as a bug...
09:23 wasabi with good screenshots!
09:23 DaGentooB k. I will do it once I get it fixed.
09:23 DaGentooB I think I am on to something here
09:24 wasabi i need to return some late DVD's now... :/
09:24 DaGentooB ok
09:24 wasabi late fees, oww!
09:28 jt I find this very insteresting
09:28 pastebot "jt" at 203.115.201.100 pasted "curious" (9 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/47
09:29 jt is that mean that wis possible to participate in development iwth very basic programming skill on koha?
09:34 paul_p jt: the koha community is welcoming anyone that want to send a patch ! Of course, your first patches will be examined very carefully & you'll probably have to send them more than once because there will be some changes to do to respect the coding guidelines. But we have 110+ devs, so, feel free to become another one ;-)
09:34 kf jt: it is open source everybody is welcome to help fix bugs and improve koha
09:35 paul_p but we have some librarians that now send patches (about templates or things like that), so it's possible for anyone !
09:35 kf paul_p: I think this sentence is not so nice about librarians ;)
09:36 kf and I am a librarian...
09:36 paul_p oups... right ! I wasn't implying librarians are dummies...
09:36 kf you better not ;)
09:36 paul_p or you'll kick my ass in NZ ? :D
09:37 kf something like that yes :)
09:37 paul_p s/it's possible for anyone/you don't need to be a IT guy/
09:38 kf :)
09:39 paul_p (note that anyone understanding s// immediatly get respect from most developers. Could we consider that as a test ? ;-) )
09:39 paul_p more complex test : s/\/\//\/\/\// :D
09:41 kf regex?
09:45 kf why not test the IT folks for basic library knowledge? :)
09:45 jt lol
09:45 magnus paul_p: if you are not nice to us librarians we will force you to do bungy jumping on the road trip ;-)
09:46 kf magnus: I like how your mind works :)
09:46 magnus hehe
09:47 paul_p wow... /me start to think about cancelling my trip. too dangerous... :D
09:48 kf so hard to be nice to us?
09:48 chris you make it hard by keeping making us deal with MARC :)
09:49 paul_p chris++ !!!!!
09:49 paul_p marc-must-die.info, I fully agree !!!
09:50 kf marc was not my idea...
09:50 magnus chris: good point. let's come up with a better alternative! ;-)
09:50 chris thats what every librarian says, then they say, but everyone else is using it, so we have too
09:50 chris :)
09:51 * paul_p feel that oneone will move until either LoC, BL or BNF moves.
09:51 paul_p and those 3 old ladies are very slow to move...
09:52 magnus chris, pail_p: sad but true
09:52 paul_p big boats
09:52 magnus paul_p: and they seem to be preoccupied with RDA...
09:52 kf Germany had MAB and is moving to MARC
09:52 kf ...
09:53 magnus a working prototype of an alternative approach would be sooo good
09:53 kf lunch time - bbl
09:53 * magnus wishes someone would try ripping marc out of e.g. koha and replacing it with e.g. RDF, as a research project
09:54 magnus kf: MAB?
09:54 kf German bibliographic format
09:54 kf MAB2 to be more correct
09:54 kf it's still widely used around here
09:54 chris yeah, step backwards to go from MAB to MARC
09:55 kf the problem you have to solve is import - map the new format to marc and all others so you can get data from everywhere
09:55 chris and then a step into UTTER MADNESS to wedge RDA into MARC
09:55 kf they managed to get a lot of the mab things into marc21
09:55 chris i mean AARC2 was complicated enough
09:55 chris RDA is just mental
09:55 kf does not make my life easier
09:55 kf ok, coworkers waiting - see you later
09:55 magnus and RD is closed
09:55 chris seriously, i think ppl forget the entire point of a library system
09:55 magnus have a nice lunch, kf
09:56 magnus s/RD/RDA/
09:56 chris adding more unused data to the record isnt going to make the opac work better
09:59 magnus chris: sounds logical to me!
10:05 * magnus is off for lunch
10:27 kf back
10:49 kf is it ok to change the text under the koha logo? want to change Open-Source integrated library system to the german translation (without integrated) Open-Source-Bibliothekssystem
10:49 kf found the .psd file in git :)
11:03 magnus kf: i did the same thing for some koha posters i made earlier this year. i don't think nicomo saw any problems with it, at least
11:04 magnus @las seen nicomo
11:04 munin magnus: Error: "las" is not a valid command.
11:05 magnus @last seen nicomo

11:05 munin magnus: nicomo was last seen in #koha 13 weeks, 6 days, 4 hours, 50 minutes, and 13 seconds ago: <nicomo> hi Amit_G
11:06 Amit hi nicomo
11:06 Amit @seen chris
11:06 munin Amit: chris was last seen in #koha 1 hour, 9 minutes, and 44 seconds ago: <chris> adding more unused data to the record isnt going to make the opac work better

11:07 munin Amit: brendan was last seen in #koha 7 hours, 44 minutes, and 25 seconds ago: <brendan> hi Amit

11:07 munin Amit: amit was last seen in #koha 4 seconds ago: <Amit> @seen chris
11:20 kf magnus: I think nicomo is no longer at biblibre
11:20 magnus kf: i know, i was just curious about how long he has been away... ;-)
11:20 kf ah
11:21 kf Integriertes Open-Source-Bibliothekssystem is too long
11:38 magnus kf: i used something like "der freie Bibliothekssystem" (in norwegian)
11:39 kf das :)
11:39 kf magnus: I think open-source-bibliotheksystem has the important points :)
11:48 greenmang hello friends... can anybody suggest me an api or z3950 server which can make available Major Journals?
12:19 kf hi owen
12:19 owen Hi kf
12:22 magnus greenmang: how about LOC?
12:57 * magnus tries to remember if there are more tables than sessions and zebraqueue that does not usually need to be in a mysqldump
13:01 * owen wonders about the labels* and creator* tables ending with _tmp
13:03 * kf wonders if she will ever finish the text for the new Koha flyer
13:05 * owen wonders if everything in #koha today will be in interior monologue
13:05 * jwagner thinks it probably will be....
13:06 * magnus agrees
13:07 * magnus cant't see any *_tmp tables, just tmp_holdsqueue
13:08 tcohen hi, should we refactor rebuild_(no)zebra as a library?
13:10 tcohen that way we could avoid the spawning of a new perl process
13:10 tcohen when implementing a service that substitutes
13:11 tcohen the reindexing process previously feaured by the (flawed) zebraqueue
13:17 tcohen hi, should we refactor rebuild_(no)zebra as a library?
13:17 tcohen that way we could avoid the spawning of a new perl process
13:17 tcohen when implementing a service that substitutes
13:17 tcohen the reindexing process previously feaured by the (flawed)
13:17 tcohen zebraqueue
13:17 owen We heard you the first time tcohen :)
13:18 tcohen oewn: oh, sorry I had a hard lock of my computer and was not sure
13:18 owen Perhaps an email to the developers list would be better?
13:18 owen There doesn't seem to be anyone here with an opinion :)
13:18 tcohen too much perl processes reindexing here, hehe
13:18 tcohen ok!
13:19 * magnus gotta run
13:25 jcamins Good morning, #koha
13:27 tcohen jcamins: hi
13:54 kf jcamins: hi :)
13:57 * jcamins doesn't understand what's special about question marks in authority records. :(
13:57 * kf whispers: fudge...
13:57 chris_n` owen: I just commented on your comment on bug 3523, but bugzilla informed me that it did not send you an email
13:57 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3523 normal, P5, ---, cnighswonger, NEW, Menu of existing lists limited to 10
13:57 chris_n fwiw
13:59 owen Thanks chris_n, I'm still a little confused about how Bugzilla decides when to send me a message
13:59 owen I don't understand your idea about a list of lists
13:59 chris_n maybe its a bug... :-Z
13:59 profmathe hi all
14:00 chris_n I 'm thinking of some sort of drop-down which would have a scroll bar on one side
14:01 chris_n allowing all lists to be available but only 10 or so viewable in the dropdown at once... make sense?
14:01 * chris_n recalls seeing such a creature once, but can't remember where
14:01 owen And then a link or control to load the next set of lists?
14:02 chris_n probably so, to avoid the use of js
14:02 pastebot "jcamins" at 66.93.90.115 pasted "Jared's fudge recipe" (13 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/48
14:03 chris_n owen: but since we can't use ajax stuff in opac, it might not be doable in a nice and clean way
14:04 jcamins kf: unfortunately I use both metric and Imperial measurements. :(
14:04 owen Can't use ajax stuff in the opac?
14:04 jcamins chris_n: why can't we use ajax in the OPAC?
14:04 chris_n I thought we wanted to avoid things that had the potential to cause accessibility problems?
14:05 owen Sure, but it shouldn't keep us from adding features which are useful
14:05 owen We just need to back them up with accessible fallbacks
14:08 owen The trouble is the accessible fallbacks aren't as fun to develop
14:09 owen What about keeping the 10 item limit in the popup, but offer a link to "show all" ?
14:09 owen Or am I underestimating the number of lists some patrons might have?
14:10 owen For the "show all" view we could use a list of items with radio buttons instead of a <select>
14:11 profmathe if anyone has time for 2 quick new user questions that i promise i researched first, i'd really appreciate it...
14:11 wizzyrea jcamins: that is made of win
14:11 wizzyrea we always have time :)
14:11 profmathe sweet
14:11 profmathe first one's easy: is my dns borked or is wiki.koha.org down?
14:12 owen http://wiki.koha-community.org
14:12 profmathe ah
14:12 profmathe broken link!
14:12 profmathe thx on that one
14:12 owen PTFS/Liblime uses koha.org for their own purposes
14:12 kf jcamins: I can improvise
14:12 jcamins wizzyrea: I'm glad you like it.
14:13 profmathe second one i hope will be easy: in a fresh install, what would call nullmailer once a minute and how do i configure it? i don't see any MTA options in the admin console
14:13 profmathe i've killed my forwards in nullmailer so my mail admin doesn't shoot me but i'd actually like it to work
14:14 wizzyrea probably the holds notices?
14:14 profmathe nothing in catalog, no patrons, brand new install...
14:15 wizzyrea i'm not sure, sorry
14:15 profmathe no prob
14:15 wizzyrea we always have time, not always the answer :/
14:15 profmathe i might try just installing postfix and forwarding to that
14:15 profmathe bad form to run home to the product i'm most familiar with, but hey
14:16 briceSanc hi koha !
14:16 profmathe just odd that there seems to be no mail option config in the console
14:16 jcamins Can someone confirm that bug 5155 isn't just me doing something dumb?
14:16 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5155 major, P5, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, Question marks cause problems for BiblioAddsAuthorities
14:16 wizzyrea nah, most people would probably say that postfix is the mailer of choice
14:16 profmathe well anyway thank you all very much
14:16 wizzyrea no, special characters bork lots of stuff :(
14:16 chris_n owen: we could do that; along the ajax lines I was thinking of a call back function tied to a "Next 10" sort of link to refresh just the list
14:16 kf jcamins: thx for the recipe!
14:17 profmathe i'll go search the real wiki and get back if i learn anything useful :)
14:17 chris_n I think that we could reasonably count on some patrons having 20-30 lists
14:18 chris_n or at least the accumulation of that many between private/public/open lists
14:18 jcamins kf: you're welcome.
14:22 kf wb druthb
14:22 druthb thanx!
14:22 jcamins My bug list keeps growing. :(
14:23 kf jcamins: I know that feeling... some days are like everything you touch is falling apart
14:28 nengard morning all
14:28 nengard i got to start my day by having a tooth drilled!! everything is up hill from there
14:40 kf1 hi cfouts and brendan
14:41 brendan hi kf1
14:41 kf1 1?
14:41 kf1 hm
14:42 kf1 I have a clone
14:42 cfouts good morning
14:45 kf better
14:46 * druthb thinks two kfs, or even a kf and a cait, would be fun to have around!
14:46 kf :)
14:49 jwagner Don't we already have a kf and a cait? The more the better, of course....
14:49 owen It strange, though, we never see them together in the same room... Hmmm....
14:50 brendan it's like clark kent and superman
14:50 kf and who is who? :)
14:50 jcamins Only both have super powers.
14:50 * kf blushes
15:05 chris_n heya cfouts
15:08 cfouts howdy
15:09 brendan hey there chris_n
15:11 chris_n hey brendan
15:11 * chris_n is shuffling server hardware today
15:12 * kf hides under her desk again
15:13 * jwagner proposes a new Koha module -- the official Sysadmin/Developer Desk under which we can all hide when needed.
15:13 * chris_n feels like tossing some of it into the big pond ;-)
15:14 * brendan according to jwagner and owen - it's inner-monolog day :)
15:15 * kf thinks this new module would lead to much progress on different other projects
15:15 kf like the koha cookie flavor :)
15:17 * jcamins thinks all successful open source projects need their own cookie and fudge flavors
15:18 jwagner jcamins, don't forget the ice cream!
15:18 jcamins jwagner: I live in NYC, so I don't have space for an ice cream maker. ;)
15:18 owen Wait--there's an official koha cookie flavor?
15:18 jcamins We're working on it.
15:19 owen Is there a git repo for it? :)
15:19 jcamins Hm, good point.
15:20 jwagner Is there an RFC or bugzilla entry for it?
15:27 jcamins What component should it be filed under?
15:28 wizzyrea definitely enhancement
15:28 wizzyrea I am always enhanced by cookies.
15:29 jwagner Many of us are. Maybe we also need an official Koha diet....
15:29 rhcl Double hamburger with cheese
15:29 rhcl lettuce, tomato pickle onion heavy on the spicy mustard
15:29 jcamins Yeah, that's definitely the severity, but should it be "Architecture," "Developer documentation," "Holidays," "Tools," "Websites," or something else?
15:32 jwagner I'd say Developer Documentation, myself. At least it might inspire me to _do_ some documentation....
15:36 jcamins Bug 5158
15:36 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5158 enhancement, P5, ---, camins, ASSIGNED, Koha needs its own cookie, ice cream, and fudge flavors
15:36 kf or developer motivation
15:44 owen How's this for motivation? Anyone want to guess how many "FIXME's" there are in the Koha code?
15:44 brendan 1,250 ?
15:45 kf 2364
15:45 owen Luckily you're both too high
15:45 owen My search found 818
15:46 owen (excluding JS)
15:47 owen 251 of those are "#use warnings; FIXME - Bug 2505"
15:47 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2505 major, P3, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, enable Perl warnings in all modules and scripts
15:49 owen I like "FIXME: No Such thing."
15:49 owen and "FIXME - this is cheating on two levels"
15:49 wizzyrea ok, is it the circulation history
15:49 wizzyrea or the reading history
15:49 * wizzyrea likes consistency in labels
15:50 owen I vote "checkout history"
15:50 wizzyrea it's reading history in the opac and in the header in the staff client
15:50 wizzyrea but the tab says "circulation history"
15:52 kf we use Ausleihhistorie in German, that would be checkout history
15:53 wizzyrea I can go with that, I just want them to all be the same
15:54 wizzyrea reading history is more patron friendly
15:54 wizzyrea circulation history is a little librarianish
15:54 wizzyrea checkout history probably would make sense to both
15:54 owen checkout history is materials-agnostic
15:54 wizzyrea yes, and I think that makes it the winning choice
15:54 wizzyrea ok, so tell me
15:54 wizzyrea I have a workflow problem
15:54 wizzyrea (git workflow)
15:55 wizzyrea am I supposed to make one change then commit, or make several related changes then commit?
15:55 wizzyrea < has had this burning question for a while
15:55 owen The real question is when should you submit the patch
15:56 owen Because you can commit as many times as you want and then squash all the commits together for one patch
15:56 owen The key is to limit your changes to one very specific feature or bug fix
15:56 owen But within that scope you can commit many times
15:57 wizzyrea oh oh
15:57 wizzyrea I need to know how to do that
15:57 wizzyrea squashing
15:57 wizzyrea owen you'll be pleased to know that I'm using your workflow :P
15:57 owen git rebase -i origin
15:58 wizzyrea ah ok that's what that does
15:58 owen That will show you a list of your commits
15:58 owen Keep the first one as "pick" and the rest as "s" (for squash)
15:58 owen You'll be given the opportunity to edit the commit message for the resulting squashed commit
15:58 wizzyrea omg that would have saved me yesterday
15:59 wizzyrea >.<
15:59 owen It took me too long to learn that one myself. It makes life much easier.
16:03 cfouts in my topic branches I commit after even relatively tiny changes, then squash, just as owen describes.
16:03 cfouts hard to over-commit using that technique
16:04 owen We defy stereotypes: We're not afraid of commitment!
16:04 wizzyrea lol
16:04 * wizzyrea totally is, in this one case.
16:05 wizzyrea but I will learn
16:07 kf will try to squash my next patch :)
16:21 wizzyrea ok
16:22 wizzyrea another question
16:22 wizzyrea do you like this change?
16:22 wizzyrea http://screencast.com/t/Y2U0N2Ez
16:22 wizzyrea is it helpful to have both current and holding on the detail page?
16:22 wizzyrea (our libraries think it is)
16:22 wizzyrea (and they prefer the shortcodes)
16:23 jwagner @quote add <owen> We defy stereotypes: We're not afraid of commitment!
16:23 munin jwagner: The operation succeeded. Quote #89 added.
16:24 owen +1 wizzyrea
16:24 wizzyrea I was thinking about it
16:24 jwagner wizzyrea, the earlier discussion on Bug 3262 was mixed, and leaned toward having a syspref control which appeared.
16:24 owen I don't really have an opinion about the code vs. full name question though
16:24 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3262 enhancement, P5, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, OPAC needs syspref to show homebranch instead of current location on detail page
16:25 jwagner I think it could be reframed so that the syspref(s) controlled whether the separate columns appeared so you could have both if you wanted.
16:25 owen I'd rather show both than have a syspref at all
16:25 wizzyrea ^^ and he was the main detractor
16:25 wizzyrea in that discussion
16:25 jwagner code vs full name I think should be a syspref, though -- a lot of sites won't recognize their codes
16:26 jwagner I'm fine with having both show by default so long as the template is set up properly so you could hide one or the other with jquery
16:26 wizzyrea cool beans. I think it's a better solution than a single column
16:26 wizzyrea and, I would need help with the syspref part for the short vs. long codes
16:26 jwagner And are you talking the same solution for both staff and OPAC view?
16:27 wizzyrea no, I think the OPAC only needs to show one column
16:27 wizzyrea because patrons don't need to know where it is
16:27 wizzyrea that one probably should be a syspref
16:27 wizzyrea but I think it should default to home branch
16:27 wizzyrea owen I think disagrees with that, at least according to the bug
16:27 jwagner wizzyrea, I was looking at this one last week & had some ideas on it, but I wanted to talk to our developers. We could continue that discussion on the codes/description part
16:28 jwagner When I looked at the code, the same part of Search.pm controls & feeds item data to both staff & OPAC search, so doing different settings would get a little involved.
16:28 kf I vote for description - we use isil as branch code, it's really ugly :)
16:28 kf ok, time to go home for me - my alter ego will be back later :)
16:29 owen Our patrons want to know where the book *is*, not where it should be.
16:29 owen So if you're going to show only one column in the OPAC and we disagree about which one it is, then it should be a syspref
16:30 wizzyrea so yea that should be a pref
16:30 wizzyrea so in your library, a book can be shelved in any library?
16:30 wizzyrea libraries
16:30 jwagner And that's where it got complicated -- you'd have to separate out the code in Search.pm depending on whether the search was for staff or OPAC.
16:31 jwagner (always assuming I'm reading that section of code right)
16:31 owen wizzyrea: Theoretically
16:32 owen wizzyrea: It's complicated by the fact that automatic transfers don't work properly (i.e. checking in something at the wrong branch and having it be transferred automatically)
16:32 wizzyrea it shouldn't matter to the search what you show on the detail page
16:33 jwagner During that part of Search.pm is where it's building the item data, though -- filling in the fields for location, itype, etc.
16:33 wizzyrea gotya
16:33 jwagner So to change what gets filled in for branch, you need to specify there
16:34 wizzyrea our most immediate problem re: locations would be solved by the dual columns
16:34 wizzyrea incidentally
16:34 wizzyrea re: shortcode
16:34 wizzyrea vs. longcode
16:34 wizzyrea owen maybe you can answer this
16:35 wizzyrea how do you tell the code which to grab?
16:35 wizzyrea I looked at it and couldn't figure it out
16:35 wizzyrea mental map failure.
16:36 wizzyrea dual columns in the intranet, I mean
16:36 wizzyrea the opac problem is one we've lived with for a long time
16:38 owen I don't understand the question wizzyrea
16:40 jwagner I think I'm back at the same place I was looking at last week, in Search.pm -- current head, line 1541 -- it's doing a check for HomeOrHoldingBranch
16:40 * owen has to run. bbl
16:40 * jwagner should keep questionable code snippets for future reference instead of having to look for them again :-(
16:41 wizzyrea I couldn't find where those template variables were defined
16:41 wizzyrea to compare how they are being generated
16:42 jwagner which variable(s)?
16:42 wizzyrea homebranch vs holdingbranch
16:42 wizzyrea is there a good tool to help with that kind of thing?
16:42 * wizzyrea pulls out all of the nub questions
16:43 jwagner from Search.pm, # set item's branch name, use HomeOrHoldingBranch syspref first, fall back to the other one -- whatever is defined in the syspref is going to get set as the homebranch for search results/display
16:43 jwagner If I'm reading it correctly
16:45 jwagner Which brings up another question I was troubleshooting last night. The old syspref description for HomeOrHoldingBranch implies it's only used with Independent Branches:
16:45 jwagner Used by Circulation to determine which branch of an item to check with independent branches on, and by search to determine which branch to choose for availability
16:45 wizzyrea mm no
16:45 wizzyrea it has applications for multibranch non independent too
16:45 wizzyrea we are non-indy
16:45 jwagner But it affects transfers when Independent Branches isn't on, and is affecting branch display in searching as above
16:46 jwagner Syspref description probably needs to be amplified/clarified, then.
16:46 wizzyrea well that's probably wrong behavior :/
16:46 wizzyrea as it reads, it should only affect using the circ/fines rules
16:46 wizzyrea if it does more than that either needs to be documented, or the purpose of the syspref changed.
16:47 wizzyrea *it either
16:47 wizzyrea but yea, it's apparently a big mess
16:47 jwagner I think I'll open a bugzilla on that problem
16:48 wizzyrea the 3.2 text is as follows: Use the checkout and fines rules of
16:48 wizzyrea NOTE: This is older than CircControl, but used by some parts of Koha. It will be removed soon.
16:49 wizzyrea so there may be plans to kill it off.
16:51 jwagner I saw that too. Am much puzzled.
16:51 wizzyrea in regards to where the template variables are generated...
16:52 wizzyrea you think it's in C4:Search?
16:52 wizzyrea (which seems TOTALLY far out to me, but I will accept it)
16:53 jwagner Bug 5159
16:53 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5159 normal, P5, ---, kyle.m.hall, NEW, HomeOrHoldingBranch syspref description misleading
16:53 jwagner wizzyrea, both the opac & staff search scripts call the same C4:Search routine
16:54 * jwagner is drooling -- lunch just got delivered, so I'm off to eat it :-)
17:25 CGI194 helo?
17:26 wizzyrea <tap tap tap> is this thing on?
17:26 wizzyrea oh hai
17:26 CGI194 how are u?
17:26 wizzyrea well enough, and you?
17:26 CGI194 fine!
17:27 CGI194 i'am new to this room
17:28 wizzyrea everybody starts somewhere
17:28 CGI194 yap!
17:28 CGI194 u'r from?
17:29 wizzyrea did you have a question about Koha?
17:29 CGI194 ya
17:30 CGI194 i'am on the way to integrate koha with ldap so do u have an idea if so pls help?
17:30 wizzyrea I don't, sorry. There might be others that can help
17:30 CGI194 ok thank u!
17:31 reva hi all, I am looking for answers to a couple of questions: how do you set up where you can tell who worked on a bib record in koha? and what is the command line phrase (with exact syntax) for bulkimporting marc authority files? jcamins: (FYI)-You may recall I had an issue with publisher name (260 $b) showing as links. On the OPAC side it does not show as links, only on the staff side. It is so even in the liblime demo (which makes m
17:32 jcamins reva: the end of your message got cut off.
17:33 jcamins In answer to your first question, take a look at the Logs tab under sysprefs.
17:34 reva Oh I was just saying that the publisher's name showing as a link only on the staff side, not in OPAC; so I guess it is alright. But the place of publication is not showing in the OPAC (remember you said it was your customization; well it seems to be mine too; only I did not do the customizing:)
17:34 reva Ok, I will look in the logs now.
17:35 jcamins reva: it's possible that the location has never shown up, and I just never noticed, because that matched my desired behavior.
17:35 jcamins I've never imported authority records, but perhaps someone else can advise you.
17:35 reva jcamins: that is okay then. I mean it may not be strict AACR2, but that is ok.
17:36 Amanu can any body help me on how to integrate koha with openldap ?
17:36 * wizzyrea tries to raise chris_n for that question
17:37 jcamins Amanu: I believe some people have done this... did you check the mailing list archives?
17:37 reva ok, maybe chris: or chirs_n or wizzyrea?: how do I import into Koha an authority record I have saved from LC?
17:38 wizzyrea i'm sorry I don't know
17:38 Amanu jcamins: no ihaven't!
17:39 wizzyrea also
17:39 wizzyrea you may be interested to know that www.koha.org isn't the official webpage
17:39 wizzyrea the official website is at www.koha-community.org
17:40 reva wizzyrea: I thought that is what the bulkimportauthority command was for? (I have never had to deal with authorities and technology before.)
17:42 jcamins reva: I gather the instructions in the script didn't work?
17:43 jcamins I've never tried because you can only download authority records one at a time from LC. Much less trouble to just enter authorities myself.
17:45 reva jcamins: I am sorry I did not get what script you are referring to. Also, cataloguing log is turned to ON under sys preferences. So would the Log file be in the directory and I can simply read it as a text file?
17:45 jcamins reva: under Tools (in the staff client) is the log viewer.
17:46 jcamins There is a script called misc/migration_tools/bulkauthimport.pl
17:46 jcamins I have never used it, but I think it is for importing authorities. Isn't that what you're trying to use?
17:47 reva jcamins: that is what I have also been doing, creating my own? But I thought you could save all the LC authority files (which we got one at a time) together and stage and import it into Koha, no?
17:47 jcamins reva: no, you can only download one authority record at a time.
17:47 jcamins It's very painful.
17:48 jcamins Or did you find a way to download multiple authority records from LC?
17:49 reva jcamins: I knew that limitation with LC authority files. But can you not append them all in a single file and import them into Koha?
17:49 jcamins I have no idea.
17:49 jcamins Maybe. But you'd still have to manually download each one.
17:50 reva jecamins: I agree, LC is below par with this end of their catalog.
17:51 zen am doing koha bulk import everything is fine except it can't display copy number! is there anyone who can help me?
17:52 reva jcamins: I do not that for a fact either; I was just asking because in Unix you can append files. But I do not know if in the .mrc (is that the extension for a MARC file?) can be handled the same way.
17:53 reva oh zen: can you tell me how you do bulk import? have you done it with authority files? or only bib records?
17:53 jcamins I think probably it would be possible, because the MARC format is stream-oriented, but I have never tried.
17:53 jcamins reva: try running the bulkauthimport.pl script without any arguments.
17:53 jcamins It will give you instructions.
17:54 zen only bib records!
17:54 jcamins You can also try using bulkmarcimport.pl with a -a argument.
17:54 reva jcamins: I will give it a go. Also is the Log file a txt file?
17:54 jcamins (instead of -b)
17:54 jcamins I don't think so. I think maybe it's stored in the database.
17:54 reva jcamins: I meant I will give the script a go.
17:56 reva So where exactly would I look for the operator id (id of staff who created/edited) in a record?
17:57 cait hi #koha
17:59 reva what is the -b parameter for? (I kind of guess the -a is for all.)
18:00 jcamins reva: I think -b is bibliographic and -a is authority
18:00 jcamins Hi cait
18:00 jcamins It's the same as the patron id.
18:00 cait hi jcamins
18:01 reva ok jcamins: -a is for authority, dah:0
18:02 reva ok, so that is helpful in the training drills so that I address remarks to the correct staff-student.
18:02 cait jcamins: i think we have a patch somewhere to show place of publicaton in opac
18:02 cait not sure I send it, but I am sure it was done for our library
18:04 reva cait: how would I patch (I mean download and inject it into Koha)? Maybe you can find out from your library and let me know, please.
18:05 cait reva: I can not find out before tomorrow - I am at home now and have limited access to our installations and my files
18:05 cait but its quite easy
18:06 reva cait: I was not meaning immediately; but may be even next week.
18:06 cait you only need to add a subfield to the xslt
18:06 cait will check for the patch
18:07 reva oh, I think I understand. is it the xsltdisplay found in the OPAC?
18:08 reva cait: I will check back with you next week. Thanks.
18:08 jcamins It will be in MARC21slim2OPACDetails.xsl.
18:08 cait ok :) I have some xslt things scheduled for next week
18:09 cait dinner time
18:10 reva Thanks jcamins: and cait: for your help; bye for now.
18:14 wizzyrea hmm do we need to add a "browser" field in our bugzilla
18:14 wizzyrea now that we have at least 3 very popular browsers in use with koha?
18:15 jcamins Hm, that would make sense.
18:15 jcamins I'm surprised Bugzilla doesn't provide that automatically.
18:15 wizzyrea we have an "OS" dropdown
18:16 tcohen how'd you call a rebuild_zebra library?
18:16 tcohen C4::Catalog::Rebuild?
18:16 owen There's a browser compatibility component
18:18 jcamins owen: yeah, but if how can you tell if you're encountering a browser compatibility problem or a problem in, e.g., the cataloging interface?
18:18 jcamins Errr... please disregard the extra "if".
18:18 owen True
18:18 wizzyrea it would help you replicate too
18:18 wizzyrea to know what they were using
18:19 wizzyrea er
18:19 wizzyrea you = one
18:19 wizzyrea not just you of course
18:19 jcamins I can no longer access my catalog from Firefox, so I could easily misidentify a compatibility bug as a functionality bug.
18:20 wizzyrea even if it's something like "I'm using IE and I can't..." and the answer is "use firefox," at least we'll have that as a diagnostic tool.
18:21 wizzyrea gmcharlt? master of the bugzilla?
18:26 jcamins Would other libraries find it useful if Koha optionally checked that each item had a unique location/call#/copy#?
18:29 ebegin jcamins, it's my understanding that call# doesn't have to be unique... but i may be wrong, i'm not a librarian :)
18:29 wizzyrea yea, we don't have unique call numbers
18:31 jcamins ebegin: you are completely correct. However, I would like to know when I'm assigning a duplicate call number.
18:31 jcamins I was thinking of something that added a message after you created an item "this call number is a duplicate."
18:31 wizzyrea something like that would almost certainly have to be optional
18:31 jcamins Controlled by a syspref, obviously.
18:34 jcamins It's not a feature so urgent that I'm going to do anything about it right now, I was just wondering if anyone else would find it useful.
18:36 ebegin jcamins, meanwhile, you could create an SQL report stating your duplicate call numbers...
18:37 jcamins ebegin: ooh, I guess I could do that, couldn't I?
18:37 jcamins Thanks!
18:39 ebegin np :)
18:46 ebegin FROM `items`
18:46 ebegin GROUP BY itemcallnumber
18:46 ebegin HAVING COUNT( biblionumber ) >1
18:59 chris morning
18:59 wizzyrea mornin
19:00 cait hi chris
19:04 jcamins ebegin++
19:04 jcamins # for pointing out that Koha already provided a solution to my problem
19:10 wizzyrea is there some trick to modifying the template includes? I made a change and it's not being reflected and It's quite flummoxing to me
19:10 owen Are you sure you're modifying the right template? You haven't switched languages by mistake have you?
19:11 wizzyrea well I will double check that
19:11 wizzyrea but I don't think so
19:11 owen It wouldn't happen unless you'd installed translations for testing
19:11 wizzyrea no, it's not the language
19:11 wizzyrea it's in members-menu.inc
19:11 wizzyrea I can't change the text from "Circulation history" to Checkout History
19:11 wizzyrea or
19:11 wizzyrea rather
19:12 wizzyrea it's changed, but it's not reflected
19:12 wizzyrea I've cleared my cache
19:12 wizzyrea idk what's left to do
19:12 owen Are you sure there's not also a patrons-menu.inc?
19:12 wizzyrea well
19:12 * owen is away from his VM
19:12 wizzyrea that is a very good point
19:13 wizzyrea no, I don't think there is
19:13 wizzyrea patron-search-box, patron-search, patron-toolbar
19:13 wizzyrea but members-menu.inc is what's being included in the tmpl I'm looking at (readingrec.tmpl)
19:13 ebegin wizzyrea, make sure you are modifying the right version. Installed dir vs source dir (depending of your install type)
19:14 wizzyrea maybe circ-menu?
19:14 wizzyrea ebegin: also a good idea, i'm pretty sure I'm working in the live dir
19:14 wizzyrea it's a dev install
19:14 wizzyrea since changes I made to other templates have been reflected
19:14 owen Yeah, circ-menu.inc
19:14 ebegin ok, so it's the live dir then ;)
19:15 wizzyrea let me look at circ-menu
19:16 wizzyrea owen++ I think that's it
19:16 wizzyrea thank you, whew, that was it
19:16 wizzyrea I thought I was losing my mind
19:16 wizzyrea aside, I also can't read properly
19:16 wizzyrea lol
19:17 owen At one time there were good reasons for having the two includes. I'm not sure if there still are.
19:18 wizzyrea hmm
19:18 wizzyrea why do we have both messaging and notices?
19:18 * wizzyrea is picking up lots of rocks today
19:18 wizzyrea ooh! worms!
19:19 cait wizzyra: does notices still show all borrower's messages instead only those of the borrower account open?
19:19 wizzyrea no, it shows only the ones sent to me
19:19 wizzyrea or the active patron
19:19 cait ah cool

19:23 wizzyrea er, messaging
19:24 cait wizzyrea: I am ot sure it shows all
19:24 wizzyrea notices: http://screencast.com/t/ZDhjYjUxNGY
19:24 wizzyrea gah
19:24 wizzyrea http://screencast.com/t/MGIxYmM2OW
19:25 cait hm, you are right, but messaging is a bit better to look at
19:25 wizzyrea well, it depends on what you define as better
19:25 cait I would like the text to show in a sepaarate window and formatted
19:25 wizzyrea you mean the content
19:26 cait ah sorry, yes
19:26 wizzyrea no need to apologize, I was just clarifying
19:26 wizzyrea I must have been too tired to remember to return the no cry sleep solution lol
19:27 cait witout formatting it's hard to tell which items were in the notice
19:27 cait and with formatting the table gets too big
19:27 wizzyrea tis true
19:27 owen So both tabs show basically the same info?
19:27 wizzyrea I don't have a preference really, I'm just wondering why ^^
19:27 wizzyrea yea
19:27 wizzyrea they appear to
19:27 wizzyrea just one more succinctly than the other
19:28 wizzyrea I rather like the messaging view
19:28 owen weird
19:28 wizzyrea I mean (dangit) the notices view
19:28 cait it would be better if there was just another column in link in the messaging view to show the content
19:28 cait ah, now you are confusing me :)
19:28 wizzyrea I like the verbosity of the notices view
19:29 wizzyrea it's not like you're going to use that to know what they had checked out, that's what checkout history is for
19:29 wizzyrea but you would use it to see what notice they got when they claim to have returned an item
19:29 wizzyrea and got a notice anyway
19:30 wizzyrea (we have seen that happen when a person returns an item after library hours, then gets the overdue message because their item is in the book drop when the overdues are generated. Boy are they irate.)
19:31 wizzyrea idk, I'd like to get rid of one of them because they are redundant
19:31 wizzyrea but I'm not sure which
19:31 owen We don't even charge fines and patrons are still irate about it.
19:31 wizzyrea and if they serve separate purposes
19:31 wizzyrea yea, not many of our libraries charge fines either
19:31 wizzyrea it just turns out people really don't like getting email
19:32 wizzyrea I think I'll send something to the dev list about it
19:32 wizzyrea "uh, what's this about?"
19:32 cait our libraries all charge fines
19:32 cait notices are important
19:33 cait I have to link the fine to the notice (I know, only we want that...) so i like messaging but stilll think the display would look better with a way to see the formatted notice :)
19:33 owen wizzyrea: I'd be curious what git-blame says about those tabs. It might indicate the right hand not knowing what the left is doing
19:33 wizzyrea ah, true
19:35 wizzyrea ...hdl last touched both tabs
19:35 wizzyrea august last year
19:36 cait it's been like that for a long time
19:36 wizzyrea in the same commit, no less
19:36 cait I think there is bug somewhere
19:45 wizzyrea ok well I"m not going to touch them :P
19:48 owen This is interesting. Git says that at one point someone made a commit to remove one of them
19:48 owen "members/notices.pl and members/messaging.pl are doing the same thing"
19:49 cait wizzy: meant bug report, sorry, getting late
19:49 owen The commit was reverted, "Should remove members/notices.pl instead"
19:49 wizzyrea weird
19:49 owen ...but obviously no one went back and actually removed notices.pl
19:49 wizzyrea so, whoever it was never got back to removing notices.pl
19:49 wizzyrea jinx
19:50 wizzyrea either way, the various names for reading history have all been changed to "checkout history"
19:50 wizzyrea :P
19:53 owen hdl's comment "should remove members/notices.pl instead" refers to the more verbose version right?
19:53 wizzyrea un moment
19:53 wizzyrea yes
19:53 wizzyrea I had to double check.
19:54 wizzyrea dk what's better, seeing the text of the notice or only being able to say that it was sent
19:54 owen Isn't more information usually better?
19:54 wizzyrea well that's what I thought
19:55 wizzyrea spose we could improve it
19:55 wizzyrea a little of that js trickery that makes a link to "show contents of this notice"
19:55 wizzyrea and expands it
19:55 wizzyrea might be nice
19:56 owen So *is* Bug 3941 fixed?
19:56 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3941 major, P5, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, Notices Tab on Patron Records Showing All Msgs
19:56 chris And then I had to translate it to circulation history
19:56 wizzyrea we took a vote earlier >.>
19:56 chris Checkout is what you do at hotels
19:57 * chris was reminded of this onsite in christchurch yesterday
19:57 wizzyrea so does your Check Out tab say "circulate"
19:57 chris When 2 of the librarians commented
19:58 chris Issue
19:58 wizzyrea or "Issue"
19:58 chris And return
19:58 wizzyrea aha, so it should be "Issuing History"
19:58 chris Circulation works fine too
19:58 owen Chris, when you're release manager you can decree that we change them all back! ;)
19:58 wizzyrea ^^
19:58 * cait imagines books as visitors in the library hotel
19:59 wizzyrea that was very poetic, cait
19:59 cait ;)
19:59 wizzyrea really, they'd rather be traveling
19:59 wizzyrea travelling
19:59 owen travellling
19:59 chris Translating works fine
20:00 chris As long as people don't keep changing their minds
20:00 chris Its re re re translating that gets old
20:00 wizzyrea well, these 3 places are now all the same
20:01 wizzyrea 3 places, and 3 different names
20:01 chris And quit it with the z :)
20:01 chris Luckily I can regex those out
20:02 chris If its not zo or ze its an s :)
20:03 wizzyrea haha
20:04 chris Wizzyrea: circulation history works for borrowers, issuing history for items
20:04 chris That's how my librarians like it anyway :)
20:05 chris I wonder what the en_gb one uses
20:05 wizzyrea I'm trying to think about how our librarians refer to it
20:05 wizzyrea when they refer to an item
20:05 wizzyrea they often refer to "circ history
20:06 owen Our librarians refer to it as "Oh god you mean it remembers everything they've had checked out?!"
20:06 wizzyrea well they would refer to both as circ history
20:06 wizzyrea hehe
20:07 chris Yeah u need to fix your govt so that's a feature not a bug :)
20:07 wizzyrea I need to fix lots of stuff.
20:07 wizzyrea not all of it is attainable.
20:07 wizzyrea lol
20:07 owen I'm sure it's more worrisome to librarians than it is to our users
20:07 chris The anonymise job does erase the history
20:08 owen ...considering what people put on Facebook
20:08 wizzyrea oh for sure
20:08 wizzyrea I was just thinking about how our librarians consider it a feature that they can tell a patron what book they checked out 3 years ogo
20:08 wizzyrea ago
20:08 wizzyrea I can't even see my amazon orders that far back
20:08 wizzyrea which potentially has more relevance than my effing library reading history
20:09 * wizzyrea fumes a little.
20:09 larsw me, I think it's creepy if libraries keep track of what patrons read
20:09 wizzyrea ^^ agreed
20:10 larsw outstanding books, sure, but once a book is returned, the library should forget about it, imho
20:10 jcamins Amazon keeps track of every page you look at.
20:10 wizzyrea ^^ I don't like that either
20:10 owen A lot of patrons would like to be able to check to see if they've read something before
20:10 owen ...because some of them read so much they can't remember
20:10 wizzyrea yea, that's our librarians' big argument for keeping the data
20:11 jcamins I can understand that.
20:11 larsw owen, they can opt-in to do that, that's fine of course
20:11 wizzyrea we're all like "but the FBI... blah blah... take your records without telling you.... blah blah"
20:11 owen Maybe someday we'll find that missing opac-privacy page
20:11 wizzyrea which is what it sounds like to them
20:11 jcamins Goodness knows I could never remember everything I've read in the last year.
20:11 owen (bug 3881)
20:11 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3881 blocker, P5, ---, paul.poulain, NEW, No Page for Opac Privacy
20:11 larsw if I cared about that, I'd keep the list myself, though, since I get reading materials from so many sources that a library's system would be insufficient
20:12 larsw but I'll shut up now (hit-and-run commenting, that's me)
20:12 * wizzyrea gets whiplash watching larsw come and go
20:13 wizzyrea zoom
20:14 wizzyrea chris do you have a feeling about the notices.pl vs. messaging.pl thing we were talking about (that they both show on the member menu, and show the same thing)
20:14 wizzyrea (or nearly the same thing)
20:14 jcamins Important philosophical question for the members of #koha: is open source free like a kitten or free like a puppy?
20:15 * wizzyrea ducks
20:15 * brendan lions
20:16 owen Free like a handful of ball bearings
20:16 * brendan read that too fast :)
20:20 * cait comes back from washing a mountain of dishes
20:24 richard hi
20:24 jcamins So, the concensus is "no one cares"?
20:26 owen jcamins: http://www.googlefight.com/ ?
20:27 jcamins Apparently puppies win.
20:27 chris sorry was my bus stop
20:27 jcamins Thanks.
20:28 chris wizzyrea: pick the one that shows more
20:28 chris jcamins: i answered this question already

21:29 wajasu i'm progressing through installing perl module prerequisites for 3.2beta on archlinux but with perl5.12.
21:29 wajasu it seems Time::localtime is builtin core
21:30 chris oh, i hadnt seen this before http://bpraweb.puntobiblio.com/
21:31 chris wasaju: cool
21:36 wajasu though i've installed Date:ICal the koha_perl_deps.pl -m still shows it as missing. Also that HTTP::OAI has a dependency on XML::SAX::Base that conflict with the earlier installed Sax parser. I've just comment out the HTTP::OAI from the makefile.
21:48 wajasu Unix::Syslog is used by zebraqueue_daemon.pl Maybe that should be a perl required module?
21:48 chris no, because that script is deprecated
21:48 wajasu ahhh
22:13 wajasu no more wiki.koha.org ak.a. http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=encodingscratchpad (INSTALL.ubuntu and INSTALL.fedora7 refer to this for an install)
22:16 chris are you installing from git?
22:17 wajasu i grabbed the beta
22:18 chris right
22:18 chris if you have time, you could clone the repo, and send a patch fixing those links
22:19 chris if not, then report a bug (cos it will scroll out of my scroll buffer here, and never get fixed otherwise)
22:19 wajasu i'm also installing into an lxc-container, so my distribution is minimal. then I can run a script to build koha lxc-containers and run/test installs
22:19 chris cool
22:19 wajasu ok. i'll write bug. maybe a patch when I have time.
22:20 chris cool
22:20 wajasu no LC_???? thing needs locale set to UTF-8 now?
22:20 wajasu as its not mentioned in INSTALL.debian
22:32 wajasu ok. i set my LC_???? environ vars correctly now for my lxc-container. just need to config mysql apache, then run the webinstaller.
22:39 rhcl "chris> oh, i hadnt seen this before http://bpraweb.puntobiblio.com/"
22:40 rhcl OK, I looked up an item in the catalog and then looked at the source code for that page, and saw it was using Koha.
22:40 rhcl but chris, was there something more obvious to you that indicated they were using koha?
22:43 wasabi rhcl: yes, their URL ;)
22:43 wasabi http://bpraopac.puntobiblio.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=love
22:45 rhcl harumph
22:46 wasabi i think chris has a daily automated 'koha' google-search running.
22:47 rhcl Yea, frankly I don't peruse the world's library catalogs doing searches to see which ones run Koha.
22:47 wasabi and it often returns surprising results, like this one :)
22:48 wasabi yep, but google does
22:49 rhcl Yea, but that's like doing the easy sudoku's--the hard sudoku's are like doing the work yourself, and looking at the code, and are much more rewarding.
22:49 rhcl like this: <meta name="generator" content="Koha 3.0006010"

23:00 robin that doesn't tell you the wind, which isn't so bad today but is usually quite relevant.
23:20 chris http://www.stuff.co.nz/4044164/Air-NZs-All-Black-safety-briefing
23:44 wajasu maybe we need the all black koha edition
23:50 wajasu i've compiled a distribution package for Date::Ical just as for many other perl modules, but after my distribution install, the koha_perl_deps.pl reports its not installed. Hmmm.
23:54 robin wajasu: $ perl -MData::ICal
23:54 robin that'll tell you for sure
23:55 robin (if you get an error it's not installed. If it just sits there its OK and you can ctrl-C out)
