19:55 wizzyrea might be nice 19:55 wizzyrea and expands it 19:55 wizzyrea a little of that js trickery that makes a link to "show contents of this notice" 19:55 wizzyrea spose we could improve it 19:54 wizzyrea well that's what I thought 19:54 owen Isn't more information usually better? 19:54 wizzyrea dk what's better, seeing the text of the notice or only being able to say that it was sent 19:53 wizzyrea I had to double check. 19:53 wizzyrea yes 19:53 wizzyrea un moment 19:53 owen hdl's comment "should remove members/notices.pl instead" refers to the more verbose version right? 19:50 wizzyrea :P 19:50 wizzyrea either way, the various names for reading history have all been changed to "checkout history" 19:49 wizzyrea jinx 19:49 wizzyrea so, whoever it was never got back to removing notices.pl 19:49 owen ...but obviously no one went back and actually removed notices.pl 19:49 wizzyrea weird 19:49 owen The commit was reverted, "Should remove members/notices.pl instead" 19:49 cait wizzy: meant bug report, sorry, getting late 19:48 owen "members/notices.pl and members/messaging.pl are doing the same thing" 19:48 owen This is interesting. Git says that at one point someone made a commit to remove one of them 19:45 wizzyrea ok well I"m not going to touch them :P 19:36 cait I think there is bug somewhere 19:36 wizzyrea in the same commit, no less 19:36 cait it's been like that for a long time 19:35 wizzyrea august last year 19:35 wizzyrea ...hdl last touched both tabs 19:33 wizzyrea ah, true 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 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 :) 19:32 cait notices are important 19:32 cait our libraries all charge fines 19:32 wizzyrea "uh, what's this about?" 19:32 wizzyrea I think I'll send something to the dev list about it 19:31 wizzyrea it just turns out people really don't like getting email 19:31 wizzyrea yea, not many of our libraries charge fines either 19:31 wizzyrea and if they serve separate purposes 19:31 owen We don't even charge fines and patrons are still irate about it. 19:31 wizzyrea but I'm not sure which 19:31 wizzyrea idk, I'd like to get rid of one of them because they are redundant 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.) 19:29 wizzyrea and got a notice anyway 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 it's not like you're going to use that to know what they had checked out, that's what checkout history is for 19:28 wizzyrea I like the verbosity of the notices view 19:28 cait ah, now you are confusing me :) 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 wizzyrea I mean (dangit) the notices view 19:28 owen weird 19:28 wizzyrea I rather like the messaging view 19:27 wizzyrea just one more succinctly than the other 19:27 wizzyrea they appear to 19:27 wizzyrea yea 19:27 wizzyrea I don't have a preference really, I'm just wondering why ^^ 19:27 owen So both tabs show basically the same info? 19:27 wizzyrea tis true 19:27 cait and with formatting the table gets too big 19:27 cait witout formatting it's hard to tell which items were in the notice 19:26 wizzyrea I must have been too tired to remember to return the no cry sleep solution lol 19:26 wizzyrea no need to apologize, I was just clarifying 19:26 cait ah sorry, yes 19:25 wizzyrea you mean the content 19:25 cait I would like the text to show in a sepaarate window and formatted 19:25 wizzyrea well, it depends on what you define as better 19:25 cait hm, you are right, but messaging is a bit better to look at 19:24 wizzyrea http://screencast.com/t/MGIxYmM2OW 19:24 wizzyrea gah 19:24 wizzyrea notices: http://screencast.com/t/ZDhjYjUxNGY 19:24 cait wizzyrea: I am ot sure it shows all 19:23 wizzyrea er, messaging 19:22 wizzyrea notices: http://screencast.com/t/ZDhjYjUxNGY 19:22 * owen saw that bug today but has no notices or messages in his test system 19:21 wizzyrea notices shows everything messaging does, and more 19:20 wizzyrea perhaps we should close that bug, but the original question stands: why both tabs? 19:19 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 19:19 owen Bug 3941 19:19 cait ah cool 19:19 wizzyrea or the active patron 19:19 wizzyrea no, it shows only the ones sent to me 19:19 cait wizzyra: does notices still show all borrower's messages instead only those of the borrower account open? 19:18 wizzyrea ooh! worms! 19:18 * wizzyrea is picking up lots of rocks today 19:18 wizzyrea why do we have both messaging and notices? 19:18 wizzyrea hmm 19:17 owen At one time there were good reasons for having the two includes. I'm not sure if there still are. 19:16 wizzyrea lol 19:16 wizzyrea aside, I also can't read properly 19:16 wizzyrea I thought I was losing my mind 19:16 wizzyrea thank you, whew, that was it 19:16 wizzyrea owen++ I think that's it 19:15 wizzyrea let me look at circ-menu 19:14 ebegin ok, so it's the live dir then ;) 19:14 owen Yeah, circ-menu.inc 19:14 wizzyrea since changes I made to other templates have been reflected 19:14 wizzyrea it's a dev install 19:14 wizzyrea ebegin: also a good idea, i'm pretty sure I'm working in the live dir 19:14 wizzyrea maybe circ-menu? 19:13 ebegin wizzyrea, make sure you are modifying the right version. Installed dir vs source dir (depending of your install type) 19:13 wizzyrea but members-menu.inc is what's being included in the tmpl I'm looking at (readingrec.tmpl) 19:13 wizzyrea patron-search-box, patron-search, patron-toolbar 19:13 wizzyrea no, I don't think there is 19:12 wizzyrea that is a very good point 19:12 * owen is away from his VM 19:12 wizzyrea well 19:12 owen Are you sure there's not also a patrons-menu.inc? 19:12 wizzyrea idk what's left to do 19:12 wizzyrea I've cleared my cache 19:12 wizzyrea it's changed, but it's not reflected 19:11 wizzyrea rather 19:11 wizzyrea or 19:11 wizzyrea I can't change the text from "Circulation history" to Checkout History 19:11 wizzyrea it's in members-menu.inc 19:11 wizzyrea no, it's not the language 19:11 owen It wouldn't happen unless you'd installed translations for testing 19:11 wizzyrea but I don't think so 19:11 wizzyrea well I will double check that 19:10 owen Are you sure you're modifying the right template? You haven't switched languages by mistake have you? 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 19:04 jcamins # for pointing out that Koha already provided a solution to my problem 19:04 jcamins ebegin++ 19:00 cait hi chris 18:59 wizzyrea mornin 18:59 chris morning 18:46 ebegin HAVING COUNT( biblionumber ) >1 18:46 ebegin GROUP BY itemcallnumber 18:46 ebegin FROM `items` 18:39 ebegin np :) 18:37 jcamins Thanks! 18:37 jcamins ebegin: ooh, I guess I could do that, couldn't I? 18:36 ebegin jcamins, meanwhile, you could create an SQL report stating your duplicate call numbers... 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. 18:31 jcamins Controlled by a syspref, obviously. 18:31 wizzyrea something like that would almost certainly have to be optional 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 jcamins ebegin: you are completely correct. However, I would like to know when I'm assigning a duplicate call number. 18:29 wizzyrea yea, we don't have unique call numbers 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 :) 18:26 jcamins Would other libraries find it useful if Koha optionally checked that each item had a unique location/call#/copy#? 18:21 wizzyrea gmcharlt? master of the bugzilla? 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. 18:19 jcamins I can no longer access my catalog from Firefox, so I could easily misidentify a compatibility bug as a functionality bug. 18:19 wizzyrea not just you of course 18:19 wizzyrea you = one 18:19 wizzyrea er 18:18 wizzyrea to know what they were using 18:18 wizzyrea it would help you replicate too 18:18 owen True 18:18 jcamins Errr... please disregard the extra "if". 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? 18:16 owen There's a browser compatibility component 18:16 tcohen C4::Catalog::Rebuild? 18:16 tcohen how'd you call a rebuild_zebra library? 18:15 wizzyrea we have an "OS" dropdown 18:15 jcamins I'm surprised Bugzilla doesn't provide that automatically. 18:15 jcamins Hm, that would make sense. 18:14 wizzyrea now that we have at least 3 very popular browsers in use with koha? 18:14 wizzyrea hmm do we need to add a "browser" field in our bugzilla 18:10 reva Thanks jcamins: and cait: for your help; bye for now. 18:09 cait dinner time 18:08 cait ok :) I have some xslt things scheduled for next week 18:08 jcamins It will be in MARC21slim2OPACDetails.xsl. 18:08 reva cait: I will check back with you next week. Thanks. 18:07 reva oh, I think I understand. is it the xsltdisplay found in the OPAC? 18:06 cait will check for the patch 18:06 cait you only need to add a subfield to the xslt 18:06 reva cait: I was not meaning immediately; but may be even next week. 18:05 cait but its quite easy 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 18:04 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. 18:02 cait not sure I send it, but I am sure it was done for our library 18:02 cait jcamins: i think we have a patch somewhere to show place of publicaton in opac 18:02 reva ok, so that is helpful in the training drills so that I address remarks to the correct staff-student. 18:01 reva ok jcamins: -a is for authority, dah:0 18:00 cait hi jcamins 18:00 jcamins It's the same as the patron id. 18:00 jcamins Hi cait 18:00 jcamins reva: I think -b is bibliographic and -a is authority 17:59 reva what is the -b parameter for? (I kind of guess the -a is for all.) 17:57 cait hi #koha 17:56 reva So where exactly would I look for the operator id (id of staff who created/edited) in a record? 17:54 reva jcamins: I meant I will give the script a go. 17:54 jcamins I don't think so. I think maybe it's stored in the database. 17:54 jcamins (instead of -b) 17:54 reva jcamins: I will give it a go. Also is the Log file a txt file? 17:54 jcamins You can also try using bulkmarcimport.pl with a -a argument. 17:54 zen only bib records! 17:53 jcamins It will give you instructions. 17:53 jcamins reva: try running the bulkauthimport.pl script without any arguments. 17:53 jcamins I think probably it would be possible, because the MARC format is stream-oriented, but I have never tried. 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? 17:52 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. 17:51 zen am doing koha bulk import everything is fine except it can't display copy number! is there anyone who can help me? 17:50 reva jecamins: I agree, LC is below par with this end of their catalog. 17:49 jcamins Maybe. But you'd still have to manually download each one. 17:49 jcamins I have no idea. 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? 17:48 jcamins Or did you find a way to download multiple authority records from LC? 17:47 jcamins It's very painful. 17:47 jcamins reva: no, you can only download one authority record at a time. 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? 17:46 jcamins I have never used it, but I think it is for importing authorities. Isn't that what you're trying to use? 17:46 jcamins There is a script called misc/migration_tools/bulkauthimport.pl 17:45 jcamins reva: under Tools (in the staff client) is the log viewer. 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? 17:43 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. 17:42 jcamins reva: I gather the instructions in the script didn't work? 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.) 17:39 wizzyrea the official website is at www.koha-community.org 17:39 wizzyrea you may be interested to know that www.koha.org isn't the official webpage 17:39 wizzyrea also 17:38 Amanu jcamins: no ihaven't! 17:38 wizzyrea i'm sorry I don't know 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? 17:37 jcamins Amanu: I believe some people have done this... did you check the mailing list archives? 17:36 * wizzyrea tries to raise chris_n for that question 17:36 Amanu can any body help me on how to integrate koha with openldap ? 17:35 reva jcamins: that is okay then. I mean it may not be strict AACR2, but that is ok. 17:35 jcamins I've never imported authority records, but perhaps someone else can advise you. 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. 17:34 reva Ok, I will look in the logs now. 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:) 17:33 jcamins In answer to your first question, take a look at the Logs tab under sysprefs. 17:32 jcamins reva: the end of your message got cut off. 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 17:30 CGI194 ok thank u! 17:30 wizzyrea I don't, sorry.

Am much puzzled. 16:49 wizzyrea so there may be plans to kill it off. 16:48 wizzyrea NOTE: This is older than CircControl, but used by some parts of Koha. It will be removed soon. 16:48 wizzyrea the 3.2 text is as follows: Use the checkout and fines rules of 16:47 jwagner I think I'll open a bugzilla on that problem 16:47 wizzyrea but yea, it's apparently a big mess 16:47 wizzyrea *it either 16:46 wizzyrea if it does more than that either needs to be documented, or the purpose of the syspref changed. 16:46 wizzyrea as it reads, it should only affect using the circ/fines rules 16:46 wizzyrea well that's probably wrong behavior :/ 16:46 jwagner Syspref description probably needs to be amplified/clarified, then. 16:45 jwagner But it affects transfers when Independent Branches isn't on, and is affecting branch display in searching as above 16:45 wizzyrea we are non-indy 16:45 wizzyrea it has applications for multibranch non independent too 16:45 wizzyrea mm no 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 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: 16:43 jwagner If I'm reading it correctly 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 16:42 * wizzyrea pulls out all of the nub questions 16:42 wizzyrea is there a good tool to help with that kind of thing? 16:42 wizzyrea homebranch vs holdingbranch 16:42 jwagner which variable(s)? 16:41 wizzyrea to compare how they are being generated 16:41 wizzyrea I couldn't find where those template variables were defined 16:40 * jwagner should keep questionable code snippets for future reference instead of having to look for them again :-( 16:40 * owen has to run. bbl 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 16:38 owen I don't understand the question wizzyrea 16:36 wizzyrea the opac problem is one we've lived with for a long time 16:36 wizzyrea dual columns in the intranet, I mean 16:35 wizzyrea mental map failure. 16:35 wizzyrea I looked at it and couldn't figure it out 16:35 wizzyrea how do you tell the code which to grab? 16:34 wizzyrea owen maybe you can answer this 16:34 wizzyrea vs. longcode 16:34 wizzyrea re: shortcode 16:34 wizzyrea incidentally 16:34 wizzyrea our most immediate problem re: locations would be solved by the dual columns 16:33 jwagner So to change what gets filled in for branch, you need to specify there 16:33 wizzyrea gotya 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. 16:32 wizzyrea it shouldn't matter to the search what you show on the detail page 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) 16:31 owen wizzyrea: Theoretically 16:31 jwagner (always assuming I'm reading that section of code right) 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. 16:30 wizzyrea libraries 16:30 wizzyrea so in your library, a book can be shelved in any library? 16:30 wizzyrea so yea that should be a pref 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 16:29 owen Our patrons want to know where the book *is*, not where it should be. 16:28 kf ok, time to go home for me - my alter ego will be back later :) 16:28 kf I vote for description - we use isil as branch code, it's really ugly :) 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. 16:27 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 16:27 wizzyrea owen I think disagrees with that, at least according to the bug 16:27 wizzyrea but I think it should default to home branch 16:27 wizzyrea that one probably should be a syspref 16:27 wizzyrea because patrons don't need to know where it is 16:27 wizzyrea no, I think the OPAC only needs to show one column 16:26 jwagner And are you talking the same solution for both staff and OPAC view? 16:26 wizzyrea and, I would need help with the syspref part for the short vs. long codes 16:26 wizzyrea cool beans. I think it's a better solution than a single column 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 16:25 jwagner code vs full name I think should be a syspref, though -- a lot of sites won't recognize their codes 16:25 wizzyrea in that discussion 16:25 wizzyrea ^^ and he was the main detractor 16:25 owen I'd rather show both than have a syspref at all 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. 16:24 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 16:24 owen I don't really have an opinion about the code vs. full name question though 16:24 jwagner wizzyrea, the earlier discussion on Bug 3262 was mixed, and leaned toward having a syspref control which appeared. 16:24 wizzyrea I was thinking about it 16:24 owen +1 wizzyrea 16:23 munin jwagner: The operation succeeded.
