Time  Nick       Message
21:38 chris      hehe
21:38 wizzyrea   WHEE!
21:38 wizzyrea   and for me too. I get grown up time tonight!
21:37 chris      cya
21:37 sekjal     and now is that time.  cheers, #koha!
21:33 sekjal     I'll check up on that... making a note now (almost time to go)
21:32 chris      which im guess the stage marc must do, or it would run into the same decode issues
21:31 chris      you can tell MARC::Charset to be less strict
21:29 sekjal     I was working on a script to do this; hit a snag with bad characters on decode
21:29 chris      and stick a row in zebraqueue
21:29 chris      $record->as_xml()
21:29 chris      update bibliotems set marcxml = ? where biblionumber = ?
21:28 chris      make a marc::record object from that
21:28 chris      select marc from biblioitems where biblionumber =
21:28 chris      it shouldnt be too bad
21:28 chris      :)
21:26 wizzyrea   man, gimme a long time and you might have that.
21:26 chris      wizzyrea: you'll send a patch tomorrow? *grin*
21:26 sekjal     jcamins and slef helped me out
21:25 chris      sekjal: neat workaround ;)
21:25 chris      ohh that idea is even better wizzyrea
21:25 sekjal     very sloppy, but worked well enough
21:25 sekjal     I ran a report to get the marc blobs, saved to file, then reimported through Stage MARC records
21:25 wizzyrea   or capture those fatal errors that it causes, and put a button on it that says "rebuild this"
21:25 chris      it sure would
21:24 wizzyrea   ^^ would be super handy
21:24 chris      that you pass a biblionumber
21:24 chris      we should build a subroutine, rebuild_xml_from_marc
21:24 chris      ah yeah
21:24 sekjal     story was: had 6 corrupted MARCXML records (marc blob was fine) that I couldn't edit in the staff client
21:21 chris      sweet
21:21 sekjal     but I was able to run a query to get me what I wanted, so I'm happy
21:21 sekjal     okay, manually adjusting the import data in the database doesn't so much work
21:20 chris      working from home today alan?
21:10 sekjal     system is hanging on me
21:10 sekjal     well... haven't seen that particular proof yet
21:09 chris      havent ever tried it though .. does it work?
21:09 sekjal     I'm so very excited
21:09 chris      yup
21:08 sekjal     did anyone know that there was a manual_match option in Stage MARC Records for Import?
20:52 chris      bbiab
20:52 wizzyrea   gl
20:52 wizzyrea   oof
20:51 chris      ok, off to discuss contracts, fun fun fun
20:47 anitsirk   hey chris.
20:47 chris      heya anitsirk :)
20:42 chris      bummer
20:42 LBA        :'( sadly I won't be there....
20:41 chris      :)
20:41 chris      booked your ticket to NZ yet?
20:37 LBA        howdy
20:37 chris      hi LBA
20:37 chris      hehe
20:37 wizzyrea   it's a good thing his fiancé is easy going lol
20:36 * wizzyrea claps
20:36 jcamins_a  You know what, I think I'll do just that!
20:36 richard    heh
20:35 jcamins_a  Bye.
20:35 wizzyrea   yea, SHOO
20:35 chris      "GO GET MARRIED!!!"
20:35 chris      hehe will do
20:35 jcamins    If you see me online tomorrow morning... remind me that it *is* Friday. ;)
20:34 jcamins    Good night, #koha
20:23 jcamins    Hello.
20:23 richard    hi chris and wizzyrea
20:23 wizzyrea   hi richard :)
20:23 chris      hiya richard
20:22 richard    hi
20:14 * Braedon  's new part beeps "no problem"
20:13 Phil       I will leave you on that cheerful note... thanks a lot to everyone for your help !
20:07 Phil       :D
20:06 Braedon    (it wurrs and beeps technologically)
20:06 * Braedon  installs new robot piece
20:05 Phil       (to Braedon)
20:05 Phil       1 robot piece for you my friend
20:04 Phil       i like it
20:04 Phil       .... nice
20:04 Phil       if branch 1 get 3 copies of a book.... will the other branches get the same qty ?
20:04 Braedon    how do you need to view the info? if the data needed to calculate it is logged somewhere, could you use a script to generate it? Would be a lot easier to write a script than a new full feature to do it within Koha
20:03 jcamins    You would only have one record for each item.
20:03 jcamins    (though note that I have never tried this- I just know that it's possible to set it up so that any branch can check out any book)
20:03 Phil       can you sync the stock between branches ?
20:02 jcamins    Phil: I would think that dealing with the HR issues would be preferable, but you could have separate branches if you wanted.
20:00 Phil       I know it's a bit far fechted
19:59 Phil       if library 1 gets a book, i want the others to get the same book and the same quantity
19:59 Phil       i thought i could use some kind of workaround with the librairies... i could do as if each employee was an independant library... then i could see what each library was doing.... only problem is i want the stock of items to be shared...
19:58 chris      Back after coffee
19:58 chris      Ok that's my bus stop
19:57 * wizzyrea is always on the lookout for people problems in search of a technological solution.
19:57 chris      If not it would be a very small change
19:57 wizzyrea   heh
19:57 Phil       :P
19:56 wizzyrea   >.>
19:56 wizzyrea   do you have a problem employee?
19:56 chris      I'm pretty sure a report on statistics will do that, but id have to check
19:56 wizzyrea   right
19:56 Phil       and bob is not the client.... hes my employe
19:56 Phil       yep
19:56 wizzyrea   makes sense to me.
19:56 chris      Yep
19:56 wizzyrea   you want to know which books bob put his fingerprints on
19:55 Phil       do you understand ?
19:55 Phil       suppose the clerk name Bob helped 3 clients with checkouts... each client checked out 1 book... well i want to be able to see the 3 books that are out and that Bob handled
19:54 Phil       but not just a log... i want be able to know what items are checkout by the guy
19:54 chris      Stores that
19:54 chris      Yeah statistics table
19:53 Phil       yup
19:53 chris      Ah you want a log of who processed the issue?
19:53 Phil       i want to be able to introduce the concept of the "transaction guy" in a transaction
19:53 reva       Now, reva if off to Gautemala for a much looked for vacation and good mexican food, yo'all> Good evening.
19:53 Phil       do you understand what i mean by clerk ?.... when you buy something in a store... the guy at the register is the clerk... hes the one that handled the transaction
19:52 Phil       lol
19:52 chris      I totally don't understand what you mean phil
19:52 reva       ok, I got it. It is just I seem have a block when it come to virtualization:). Thanks tremendously.
19:52 Braedon    reva: yes, that should be fine
19:52 Braedon    reva: when you mount a device such as a CD drive, Ubuntu detects it and places links to it in various places, such as the side bar, and on the desktop. these are not strictly shortcuts, but effectivly do the same thing.
19:51 reva       Braedon, should I also release the VBoxguestaddtions.iso from the CD drive?
19:51 Phil       Hi ! I have a question about koha : can I use the concept of a clerk in the check out process ? I want to be able to specify a clerk for each check out, and later see what item are checked out for a certain clerk... is that possible ?
19:50 Braedon    reva: that will unmount it, and it should disapear from the desktop. the addons themselves have been installed, and it should continue to run fine
19:49 chris      Ahhh
19:49 Braedon    chris: but then we have up to 3 weeks of exams - so perhaps..
19:48 reva       k, I will eject it and it should run fromt the drivers that have been installed in the ubuntu machine now, right?
19:48 Braedon    i think it ends on October the 15th
19:48 chris      Before oct 25?
19:47 chris      Braedon, when does your semester end?
19:47 Braedon    if there is, click on the symbol
19:47 Braedon    if you go places->computer, or open any location actually, there should be a entry in the left side bar for the CD, with an eject symbol next to it.
19:47 reva       Bradeon, you are the man:)
19:47 reva       that is supposed to be clipboard.
19:46 reva       ipboard working too.
19:45 reva       now, I still see the virtualcd it had copied to the desktop. So, do I empty my CD/DVD drive and then the next time I reboot it will go away?
19:45 jcamins    :)
19:45 chris      That's the perfect way to be
19:45 jcamins    chris: Thanks. I'm not too stressed out about it, just excited.
19:44 Braedon    reva: awesome
19:44 reva       And let me try the clipboard function now.
19:44 reva       Braedon, it has worked. Ths desktop is now bigger!:)
19:44 chris      jcamins: all the best for the big day, try not to stress :)
19:44 owen       Bye all!
19:43 owen       chris is here, must be time for me to leave!
19:43 Braedon    up here it is a gray dome of dreariness
19:43 jcamins    chris: Yep.
19:42 chris      Not too bad down here
19:42 reva       Bradeon, I empty the CD/DVD drive after I reboot, correct?
19:42 Braedon    and what a miserable looking friday it is
19:42 chris      Wedding tomorrow?
19:42 Braedon    it is indeed friday (here)
19:42 jcamins    And it's driving me batty! ;)
19:41 jcamins    Not here.
19:41 chris      (Its Friday :))
19:41 chris      What's cracka lacking?
19:40 Braedon    (just to be different)
19:40 Braedon    howdy
19:40 jcamins    Morning.
19:40 wizzyrea   Good Morning New Zealand!
19:40 chris      Morning
19:38 reva       previous was the MAIN guest addition module, now it is building guest additions module (non-MAIN, I guess); yes, if it does not work, I will try that. I can call up the irc log and follow instructions, Braedon.
19:37 Braedon    reva: assuming it completes with no error messages, try restarting. If it doesn't work then, the only thing i can think of is that virtualbox has an old version of the addons, and it hasn't detected that. Try deleting the addons iso from wherever it is getting it on the host os. this should prompt it to download the latest version when you try and load it next via devices->install guest addons
19:34 wizzyrea   T's are transit, obviously.
19:34 wizzyrea   http://screencast.com/t/OWJlODBlMz
19:34 reva       Ok, I will be patient:)
19:34 Braedon    hopefully it will complete within a few minutes :)
19:33 Braedon    it may take a while, yes
19:33 reva       now it is pausing for a while. is that normal, braedon:?
19:33 wizzyrea   sec
19:33 wizzyrea   my evidence seems to bear that theory out
19:32 owen       Actually now I wonder if it would touch *all* of them, or just the ones which needed to be touched in order to re-order?
19:32 wizzyrea   that's what I saw too.
19:32 wizzyrea   right
19:32 owen       Although, in my test, it didn't touch the one which was "waiting"
19:32 wizzyrea   Aha
19:32 reva       It is installing all the drivers:)
19:32 Braedon    reva: yip. sounds good
19:32 owen       wizzyrea: The answer is yes
19:31 reva       it says it is building the guest additions kernels.
19:31 wizzyrea   or I could just go test the dang thing.
19:31 owen       I don't know, but I'm testing
19:31 Braedon    reva: ok, watch the output and see if it looks liek it is succeeding
19:31 wizzyrea   maybe owen would know, I know he's poked about the holds some
19:30 reva       ok, it is outputting a whole bunch checks and verifications now Braedon
19:30 jcamins    We don't use holds, so I'm afraid I can't advise.
19:30 wizzyrea   to see it
19:30 wizzyrea   you'd have to pull the data from the DB
19:30 wizzyrea   think*
19:30 wizzyrea   I don't htink
19:30 wizzyrea   it's not something you would be able to tell through the web interface
19:30 reva       I am trying that now.
19:29 wizzyrea   ?
19:29 wizzyrea   does it update the timestamp on every one
19:29 wizzyrea   when you reorder the holds in a queue
19:29 jcamins    wizzyrea: ?
19:29 wizzyrea   wow.
19:29 wizzyrea   ok
19:29 wizzyrea   can someone tell me
19:28 reva       ok, I will try the next command you have asked me to try now.
19:28 Braedon    have you tried 'sudo /media/cdrom0/VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run'? what does that say?
19:27 reva       yes, from the mount command.
19:27 Braedon    if so, that should be ok
19:27 Braedon    from the mount command?
19:26 reva       mount: block device dev/sr0 is write protected, mounting read-only is the response I got Braedon
19:26 Braedon    what does that say?
19:26 Braedon    ok, try running 'sudo /media/cdrom0/VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run'
19:24 reva       ok it has created a directory on my desktop:)
19:23 reva       ok, I will try the mkdir command now.
19:22 reva       For now, until I test all the features on Koha. But I have iso cd of the Live CD and I will be installing it to our hard drive in days.
19:22 jcamins    (if you have, make sure you have enough disk space configured for the VM!)
19:22 Braedon    and then the mount command again
19:21 jcamins    reva: I guess you decided to run your server off the VM permanently?
19:20 Braedon    ok, sudo mkdir /media/cdrom0
19:20 reva       Braedon, it says mount point /media/cdrom0 does not exist
19:18 reva       Braedon, I will try that now.
19:14 Braedon    ok, try 'sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0'
19:10 reva       Ok, will wait
19:10 Braedon    ok, just a sec - need to cnfirm some things
19:08 reva       Braedon, when I looked in the Oracle folder there was guestaddition file there, so it has added it from there.
19:07 reva       ok, I did the select devices-> install -guest-addons; now it has ticked the VBoxguestaddons.iso
19:06 Braedon    if virtualbox asks to download a new version of hte addons, allow it to do so
19:05 Braedon    select devices->install-guest-addons
19:05 Braedon    ok
19:05 reva       No, nothing is checked under devices->CD/DVD drive.
19:04 reva       Breadon: ok, I will empty it.
19:04 Braedon    if you go devices->CD/DVD drives, is anything ticked?
19:03 Braedon    first make sure that you have nothing in the virtual cd drive - virtualbox is not good at working with linux with regards to ejecting drives
19:03 reva       I will give you the page address where the instructions are (it is at the bottom of the web page):http://mizstik.com/projects/koha-livecd/
19:03 Braedon    ok
19:02 reva       Braedon: it is server 10.04.
19:01 Braedon    windows host, ubuntu guest. What ubuntu version are you running? server/desktop?
19:01 jcamins    reva: just to check, you tried following the instructions from the developer again after updating your kernel, right?
19:00 Braedon    sorry, not thinking straight. far too little sleep of late. Lets start again
19:00 reva       ok, so starting from scratch what should I do?
19:00 Braedon    unless you are running headless?
19:00 Braedon    o, wait
18:59 Braedon    ubuntu can mount the cd drive for you
18:59 Braedon    you shouldn't need to do that at all
18:59 Braedon    once you restart, that mount will not happen again, so the folder is not there
18:59 reva       You know, I thought the instructions must have meant fill in your drive name  where it said cdrom. but I left it as it was.
18:58 Braedon    what your commands do is mount /dev/cdrom to the /cdrom folder
18:58 Braedon    un, i mean how are you giving the virtual machine the disk to put in the virtual cdrom drive
18:58 reva       No it was not a shortcut, it was a folder with all the different files that e guestadditions iso had. Because they did not have the shortcut arrow on them.
18:57 Braedon    probly not the best question..
18:57 Braedon    what is in /dev/cdrom?
18:56 reva       Now, the copy of the folder on the desktop was no loger there when I rebooted!!
18:55 reva       Yes Braedon.
18:55 Braedon    sounds like you have a copy of the addons inside the guest os?
18:54 reva       owen: forgot to put separator character for the commands.
18:54 Braedon    ahh
18:54 reva       owen: what should it put on the desktop? Following are instructions I got: > sudo -i > mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom > cd /cdrom > ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run  - Wait for it to finish then reboot.
18:53 Braedon    ubuntu does show the mounted drive as a shortcut on the desktop - do you mean that reva?
18:53 owen       reva: letting the cdrom auto-run always runs the program in a terminal window
18:52 owen       reva: I have never seen it copy files to a folder
18:51 reva       ok, I will try it again tomorrow: funnily, the response to the command to mount the cdrom said it did not find any such folder, it nevertheless copied the files to a folder on to the desktop.
18:50 owen       I run Ubuntu on a Windows 7 host.
18:50 owen       It sounds like it didn't run properly, based on my experience.
18:49 reva       owen: no I did not get that "press enter to continue".
18:48 owen       reva: Did the autorun program seem to run correctly? Did you end up with a terminal window which said "press enter to continue" or something like that?
18:48 reva       no, you were right to ask, because though I started my computing with command line terminals on UNIX, it has been a long time doing anything that way and as raw steps.
18:46 Braedon    reva: just checking :)
18:46 reva       Braedon: which is what I did and I got the all the files from the iso in a folder on my desktop; I ran the autorun for x86 linux.
18:45 reva       I mean restarted the machine as well as the VirtualBox itself.
18:44 Braedon    reva: you have to install guest addons every time you update the kernel
18:44 reva       owen: I tried that too:(
18:44 owen       reva: Did you restart your Guest OS?
18:43 reva       owen: I did get a folder on my desktop with the folders from the guestaddition iso and I ran the autorunx86 (I forget the exact name) but still no result.
18:42 reva       well, I did and from the developer I got the info that the guest kernel has to updated. That is why I ran sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. I followed all the instructions, still no clipboard or desktop resize possible
18:42 owen       This should mount a virtual drive which will appear on your Linux desktop
18:41 owen       reva: You should have a menu option in your VirtualBox window: Devices -> Install Guest Additions
18:40 reva       owen: my host OS is Windows XP and everything in Koha functions ok.
18:37 owen       reva: What's your host OS?
18:37 wizzyrea   erm, since my computer got stolen I haven't even looked at virtualbox, but try owen's solution
18:36 owen       reva: You have to "install guest additions"
18:36 reva       wizzyrea: got it. Thanks. I know this is not the place for it: But in my virtualbox install, I am not able to resize the guest desktop or bi-directional clipboard. I ran sudo blah blah upgrade, etc. but still no effect. Any ideas for solutions?
18:36 wizzyrea   owen: yes, that is equivalently crazy
18:36 schuster   Starting with "I don't recommend doing that..."
18:35 schuster   very interesting to drop into the middle of that conversation...
18:35 owen       Oh yeah, we did the same, only two weeks after the baby was born
18:35 jcamins    Or pleasant.
18:35 jcamins    No, I can't imagine that was fun.
18:35 wizzyrea   (I don't recommend doing that, by the way)
18:35 wizzyrea   ok, that's almost as crazy as us moving 2 weeks before the due date of our baby
18:34 wizzyrea   !!
18:33 jcamins    Although moving fell through (yes, that was originally planned for this past week)
18:32 jcamins    We managed to schedule everything imaginable in the last week of August/first week of September.
18:31 wizzyrea   oof , well ok then I guess I'll let you off jcamins
18:30 wizzyrea   i think it's under type LOC
18:30 reva       oh, ok, I will check that out now, wizzyrea:
18:30 jcamins    reva: no, you can edit them. You have to go to the Authorized Values page to change them.
18:29 wizzyrea   yep, you can. Under Administration -> authorized values
18:29 jcamins    wizzyrea: my boss is out, and anyway, my fiancee is going to have tons of homework... her PhD classes started ten minutes ago.
18:29 reva       wizzyrea: so I cannot (even as an administrator) edit these pre-selected values for the shelving location?
18:29 * wizzyrea fights the urge to say terribly inappropriate things
18:29 jcamins    sekjal: thank goodness I don't have to do that!
18:29 jcamins    (and Tuesday-Friday next week, of course)
18:28 wizzyrea   ! ok, working monday might be a bit excessive
18:28 sekjal     jcamins: just had my first anniversary.  Last year at this time we were just getting back from our honeymoon, and I had to make my library's Koha system go live in 3 days
18:28 jcamins    As demonstrated by the fact that she wasn't too troubled by the fact that I am working today, and Monday.
18:28 wizzyrea   jcamins: oh good.
18:28 jcamins    My fiancee's very laid-back.
18:28 wizzyrea   the 2nd line was for you, the first for jcamins ;)
18:28 jcamins    wizzyrea: I like the juxtaposition.
18:28 wizzyrea   yep, sorry I left off your name
18:27 * jcamins  giggles
18:27 reva       wizzyrea: where you responding to me?
18:27 wizzyrea   it's an authorized value
18:27 wizzyrea   do you have a bridezilla, or a pretty laid back spouse-to-be
18:27 reva       Hi anyone, where in the admin module will I find the "Shelving Location" (such as Audio visual, Children's, etc.) so that I can add/edi locations to/in it?
18:26 wizzyrea   >.>
18:26 jcamins    I guess this is why normal people take the day before their wedding off... focus is kind of difficult.
18:24 larsw      exactly
18:23 wizzyrea   like the red shirt guy in star trek?
18:23 wizzyrea   lol
18:23 larsw      in every movie with a character named Lars, they're a stupid henchman who dies in scene 4
18:23 wizzyrea   how so?
18:23 wizzyrea   hm, interesting
18:23 larsw      I'd recommend against it, actually, there's a huge social stigma in the name Lars
18:22 wizzyrea   then I'd have a soren and a lars. A matched set. :)
18:22 larsw      heh
18:22 * wizzyrea thinks that if she had another kid, she'd name him lars. Such a great name
18:22 wizzyrea   :) thanks
18:21 larsw      everyone has, it seems
18:21 * wizzyrea has been (very briefly) to finland
18:21 wizzyrea   ^.^
18:21 larsw      yup
18:21 wizzyrea   lars: finnish?
18:21 larsw      wizzyrea, hyv�� syntym�p�iv��
18:12 wizzyrea   thanks everybody :)
18:12 * wizzyrea feels the love
18:12 cait       wizzyrea: happy, happy birthday !
17:53 * chris_n  wishes wizzyrea happy birthday
17:36 indradg    wizzyrea, happy birthday :)
17:19 joetho     bib itemtypes: at least rename them
17:19 cait       hi koha
17:19 joetho     I'm gonna jump in the car and go serenade her!!
17:18 joetho     Yikes!
17:18 joetho     HB???
17:08 gmcharlt   wizzyrea: happy birthday!
17:04 jcamins    Happy birthday, wizzyrea!
16:54 nengard    when did you upgrade the koha site? somehow i missed the change :) hehe
16:53 wizzyrea   :D thanks
16:53 nengard    happy birthday wizzyrea!
16:45 wizzyrea   so far so good
16:44 owen       I hope it's going well
16:43 wizzyrea   :) hi
16:40 owen       Hey, it's the birthday girl!
16:34 munin      04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4841 normal, P5, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, Advanced search returns 0 results if the itemtype have no items
16:34 * owen     was thinking about itemtypes because of Bug 4841
16:29 kf         bye all :)
16:28 kf         jcamins: I wish you a very happy day tomorrow!
16:28 kf         sekjal++ ;)
16:28 kf         time to leave for me :)
16:28 jcamins    I was going to say, once sekjal et. al. solve that problem, though, I would wholeheartedly support eliminating them.
16:28 kf         I am... oh so many typos today
16:27 kf         I all for killing them, they are still messing with things
16:27 jcamins    Yes.
16:27 * sekjal   has a draft spec for analytics
16:27 sekjal     jcamins: well, once we solve that problem, though... killing biblio-level itemtypes would work?
16:26 jcamins    We use biblio-level itemtypes to deal with the fact that much of our catalog is analytics, which at present can't be linked to physical items.
16:26 * owen     will pretend he didn't mention it
16:25 jcamins    Nnnoooooo!!!!
16:25 owen       Has there been discussion of deprecating biblio-level itemtypes altogether?
16:23 * owen     admires/hates the ability of catalogers to give an exception to every example ;)
16:21 jcamins    They didn't have them in the 17th century.
16:21 jcamins    You can just ignore me... I'm not used to these new-fangled ISBN things.
16:21 jcamins    Good point.
16:21 jcamins    Maybe not.
16:20 jcamins    owen: hm.
16:20 owen       jcamins: With the same ISBN?
16:19 jcamins    I don't think it's a very common occurrence, but in academic settings the "same" book might be published in two places with different features (for example, New York has the CD, Boston doesn't).
16:18 jcamins    kf: there's a bug in the order section?
16:17 kf         jcamins: but why have publication place in suggestions, but not in the order then?
16:17 jcamins    owen: actually, I can see that mattering.
16:17 kf         I don't think they will fill it in
16:17 kf         lol
16:16 owen       I can just see it: "Well, we tried to find the book you requested, but the one we found was published in Boston, and you said it was published in New York."
16:16 kf         and the order from empty form does offer less fields than the suggestion forms in the opac
16:16 kf         but you are right about it :)
16:16 kf         I am quite it was what the customer wanted
16:11 owen       And honestly, "publication place?" What use is that?
16:10 owen       kf: I think you will not be the first. It's a very librarianish kind of field to offer
16:10 owen       Suggestions follow the AdvancedSearchTypes preference
16:10 kf         owen: I am not sure users understand how to use colleactions and itypes, we will probably kill these fields with jquery from the suggestions form in the opac
16:09 munin      04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4832 major, PATCH-Sent, ---, oleonard, ASSIGNED, Re-editing a suggestion changes the item type
16:09 owen       There's a whole can of worms around bug 4830 (and bug 4832) related to the fact that suggestions might use ccode or itype depending on your configuration
16:08 nengard    those are just the ones i have with values in suggestions not coming over to the order
16:08 nengard    oh okay
16:08 owen       nengard: Bug 4833 was actually the bug I started out looking at, but thought mine was different in scope
16:07 munin      04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4830 normal, P5, ---, henridamien, NEW, item type on purchase suggestion not carried over
16:07 nengard    and bug 4830
16:07 munin      04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4833 minor, P5, ---, henridamien, NEW, show all fields when ordering from suggestion
16:07 nengard    bug 4833
16:06 nengard    i have a lot of bugs around that one with things not carrying over
16:06 kf         owen: have you tested the bug for your problem?
16:06 nengard    no prob - we all explain them diff and that's what happens
16:06 munin      04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4829 normal, P5, ---, henridamien, RESOLVED DUPLICATE, publication year in suggestion going to zero
16:06 owen       nengard: Thanks, and sorry I missed Bug 4829 when I was searching for the issue in Bugzilla
16:03 kf         this was very confusing for me at the beginning, because I was testing the fields with entries like "title" "year" ...
16:02 kf         because the display pulls not from the record, but from the database
16:02 kf         so if you have no numbers, it will show nothing
16:02 kf         yes
16:02 owen       Probably the same code that turnes "c. 1990" into a numeric date.
16:01 kf         or not deleted, it's in the record, but there is code so that only the numeric part of the entry is saved to publication year or copyright date
16:00 kf         owen: not sure it is actually a bug, but if you enter something like "unknown" into publication year, it will be deleted
15:53 kf         I thought it was different because of suggestion vs. new order from empty :
15:53 kf         oh cool :)
15:52 owen       Your patch takes care of my bug as well
15:52 owen       kf++
15:45 kf         in German I use Erscheinungsjahr everywhere
15:44 kf         not to me
15:44 kf         I think the difference is not even very clear in marc21
15:43 owen       I wonder if the French translation of Koha takes care of the "publication year" vs. "copyright date" labels?
15:42 nengard    thanks
15:42 jcamins    nengard: yes, it seems to.
15:42 kf         it took me a week to find and solve the problem - I m still very slow at those things - but chris tested my patch
15:42 nengard    got a question - does the last seen date get updated when editing items (in batches or one by one)?
15:41 kf         but perhaps the confusion is caused by this fact
15:41 kf         but suggestions is a table, as long as no marc record is created, your problem might be different
15:40 kf         yep
15:40 owen       Hence no end of headaches for all of us
15:40 kf         unimar: ??? = publicationyear, no mapping for copyrightdate, marc21 no mapping for publicationyear
15:40 kf         marc21: 260c = copyrightdate
15:39 kf         it's the standard mapping
15:39 kf         owen: did not want to cause confusion
15:39 owen       Does copyright date not exist in UNIMARC, or is it a matter of which date it prefers?
15:38 owen       Thanks kf, I'll take a look at the patch to see if it applies to my bug as well.
15:38 munin      04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5090 critical, PATCH-Sent, ---, katrin.fischer, NEW, New order from empty record does not save publication year and ISBN
15:38 kf         owen: I was talking about bug 5090
15:37 owen       slef: If only I could remember what it was about...
15:37 slef       owen: did I ever find out what you wanted a few days ago?
15:36 kf         perhaps I am wrong, my patch addresses new orders from nothing
15:35 kf         ah
15:35 kf         if you order from a suggestion a new marc record is created, unimarc has no mapping to copyrightdate, it has publicationyear
15:35 kf         I have a patch for part of that problem that, it's a UNIMARC/MARC21 problem
15:34 munin      04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5178 normal, P5, ---, oleonard, ASSIGNED, New order from suggestion pulls wrong field for copyright date
15:34 kf         bug 5178
15:34 owen       Yes
15:34 kf         owen: around?
15:30 davi       as I promised
15:30 davi       in the wiki, with its description, so that we can review them
15:29 davi       Is already in the wiki the re-licensing option: AGPLv3+, GPLv3+, as now
14:43 jwagner    OK, one patch with both the .pref change and the .sql change?
14:42 gmcharlt   single, preferably
14:42 jwagner    gmcharlt, two separate patches?
14:42 nengard    got a question - does the last seen date get updated when editing items (in batches or one by one)?
14:41 pentarex   10x for the answer
14:41 gmcharlt   jwagner: correct - do both
14:39 * slef     boogies
14:39 sekjal     pentarex: slef is right; you'd have to have two separate patron records for each barcode
14:38 slef       pentarex: yes, but the borrower accounts won't be linked AFAICR
14:38 pentarex   hey can koha users  use different library cards for different library i mean if  I have library card for library Centerville can I use other for Union ?
14:38 jwagner    gmcharlt?
14:32 jwagner    Or do I need to do separate patches depending on the level?
14:32 jwagner    And conversely, if I do a patch at a lower level, the yaml stuff won't hurt it?
14:31 jwagner    I'm still a bit confused, though.  Since I do patches that are meant for several levels of code, am I correct in believing that it won't _hurt_ anything to submit a patch at current head that also has the sysprefs.sql updates?
14:30 * chris_n  waves as he heads back out
14:28 jcamins    chris_n++ # for providing slef with the explanation that is now on the wiki
14:28 jcamins    I need these things in very simple language. ;)
14:27 jcamins    The latter.
14:27 wizzyrea   http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/System_Preferences#Adding_a_new_system_preference
14:26 slef       or koha-patches list email
14:26 slef       check wiki recent changes
14:25 slef       how to add prefs to the code
14:24 nengard    jcamins - what kind of explanation? what they do? cause that's in the manual? or how to add prefs to the code?
14:21 jcamins    slef++ # I've been wishing someone would put explanations for sysprefs onto the wiki
14:06 hilongo    hi hdl :)
14:04 hdl        hi
14:03 sekjal     that was a lot of operations back, and my mental history file only so long
14:03 sekjal     hilongo: I remember messing with Suspension in Days, and being kind of confused by it, and I think that's what I found
14:02 slef       hi all
14:02 slef       heh
14:02 gmcharlt   hi slef
14:02 munin      slef: gmcharlt was last seen in #koha 1 day, 22 hours, 18 minutes, and 33 seconds ago: <gmcharlt> with lots of help - ideally Linus would right it, then have an editor to translate to remove the "Git-qua-Linus" aspects of the text
14:02 slef       @seen gmcharlt
14:01 hilongo    really? ... wow :)
13:57 sekjal     the system does some kind of dynamic thing based off the issuing record
13:56 sekjal     hilongo: as I recall, the date isn't stored anywhere
13:54 hilongo    so ... where would it be? :)
13:53 hilongo    what I can't find is where this info is saved. as hdl said to me a few days ago, the patron gets debarred until certain date but I cannot see that date in the patron's record in borrowers table
13:51 hilongo    I have found that this works... had some overdued loans and the patrong gets 'suspended' acording to the rules
13:50 hilongo    I'm testing the future 3.2 and messing around with the 'suspension in days' circ rules
13:50 magnus     g'bye #koha
13:46 hilongo    hello #koha :)
13:38 pentarex   what is koha harvest port ?
13:32 jcamins    I should probably fix this.
13:32 jcamins    I realized why, though... my server thinks it's tomorrow.
13:32 jcamins    Thank you.
13:30 kf         we will help and remind you if we see you here tomorrow!
13:30 kf         :)
13:29 nengard    hehe
13:27 jcamins    25, in case anyone was wondering. :)
13:27 jcamins    So now I am counting the hours so I can't get confused. ;)
13:27 jcamins    No, I thought yesterday was Thursday. It's not. :'(
13:25 kf         jcamins: is today not your big day?
13:22 nengard    koha's site - but i think it's cause liz was upgrading - it's on the new new wp now! :)
13:20 jwagner    nengard, which site?
13:14 nengard    k - good it's not just me, it timed out on me
13:13 magnus     nengard: looks a bit slow from here
13:13 nengard    hmmm
13:13 jcamins    nengard: I am, but I'm having trouble with the internet in general.
13:11 nengard    anyone else having trouble with the koha site?
13:10 nengard    sorry jcamins ... i understand your disappointment :(
13:08 jcamins    Good morning, #koha (it's Thursday, not Friday like I thought it was going to be :( )
13:02 nengard    howdy
13:02 magnus     hiya nengard
11:58 owen       I guess not today
11:58 owen       pentarex, you will often find them here: paul_p, hdl, nahuel
11:55 pentarex   do they have IRC channel ?
11:55 kf         sorry pentarex, I have never installed it myself. perhaps someone from biblibre can help, they have done the work on sopac integration
11:55 pentarex   anyone got any experience here ?
11:54 pentarex   and the node prefix
11:54 pentarex   SOPAC URL prefix
11:54 pentarex   yeah ive saw it but i cannot make my search I dont understand about this prefix
11:54 kf         koha-community.org
11:54 kf         args
11:53 kf         pentarex: there is some information about it in the manual on koha.org
11:53 Amit       heya pentarex
11:52 pentarex   is there anyone who knows something about integrating koha to drupal via sopac ?
11:52 pentarex   hey guys
11:43 druthb     my pleasure. :)
11:43 mib_66k37  druthb: thank you very much
11:42 magnus     dagentoob: run rebuild_zebra.pl with the -h option to see available options
11:42 druthb     The 3.0.x series is really solid, but there are a lot of newer features in the 3.2 release candidate that are worth looking at, at the cost of (possible) bugs here and there.  I think most of the worst ones have been worked out.
11:42 jwagner    Hi Amit
11:41 Amit       heya jwagner
11:40 mib_66k37  druthb: what version of koha recommended me for a first installation?
11:40 druthb     you betcha.  Koha is pretty tolerant of that sort of thing; install it according to the directions, and it just works.
11:39 mib_66k37  druthb: thanks
11:38 druthb     mib_66k37: the ones that install naturally with Debian (using netinstall or apt-get) work Just Fine.
11:37 mib_66k37  I want to install koha with debian 5.0, which version of perl and mysql need ?
11:35 druthb     Mornin', #koha.
11:34 mib_66k37  I want to install koha with debian 5.0, which version of perl and mysql need ?
11:29 dagentoob  thanks
11:29 dagentoob  thansk
11:29 dagentoob  I keep looking at koha.org and not finding stuff
11:28 mib_66k37  I want to install koha with debian 5.0, which version of perl and mysql need ?
11:28 dagentoob  k
11:25 dagentoob  ./bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -z -b -a
11:25 kf         dagentoob: http://koha-community.org/documentation/faq/searching/#5
11:25 kf         there is an option to do that for rebuild_zebra.pl
11:24 kf         dagentoob: which options did u use for your rebuild?
11:24 dagentoob  can I delete the whole zebra DB and start over?
11:22 dagentoob  and I am still getting search results for the wrong thing
11:22 dagentoob  I tried rebuild_zebra.pl
11:22 dagentoob  ??
11:22 dagentoob  anyone know a way to rebuild the zebra database
11:21 dagentoob  hey
11:19 mib_66k37  hi
11:18 mib_66k37  hola
11:14 magnus     kf: i guess i agree... i'll ask if i can delete the records, i think
11:05 kf         yep
11:04 magnus     kf: what's confusing? records without items?
11:01 kf         I think mark it as withdrawn is better, but not sure what consequences this has for search, checkout etc. our libraries are not using it
11:00 kf         sounds confusing for the patron
10:58 magnus     or to put it another way: how would you code an item that has been scrapped/thrown away, but where the record should still be kept in the catalogue? just delete the scrapped item?
10:57 magnus     how do y'all interpret marc field 952$0 (zero) "withdrawn" - something that has been withdrawn by the publisher?
10:22 chris      yup, it still exists
10:17 kf         yep: May 18 2001 Glen Stewart leaves his job and working on Koha, gives us cuecat decoding code as a parting gift.
10:16 kf         hm, perhaps I read about it in the history :)
10:15 kf         chris: hm, didn't you mention the cuecat code in one of your earlier posts?
09:54 * chris    bumped into the cuecatdecode code today, and that reminded me to do a new unsung heroes post
09:44 hdl        magnus: yes.
09:43 kf         I think hdl was here earlier
09:42 magnus     anyone from biblibre around?
08:32 chris      hi kf
08:29 kf         hi chris and magnus
08:22 chris      hehe
08:22 magnus     hm, maybe i should track them down, stuff them in my suitcase and hand them over to the authorities on my arrival in nz...
08:21 chris      a pretty good rule in general i reckon :)
08:19 magnus     i remember that one, yeah. i|ll make sure i stay a long way away from any firearms...
08:18 chris      http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/3659020/Charges-for-tourists-who-killed-kereru

06:26 smustafa   I think it is working Wasabi, I see that it is adding gr.marcxml.record and it was not doing that before..
06:25 larsw      chris, http://soap.docstory.fi/posts/birds/ :)
06:25 smustafa   so I am waiting..
06:25 smustafa   it is still saying exporting biblio
06:23 wasabi     yep, no problem..
06:21 smustafa   let me try that and get back to you dear
06:19 wasabi     then try yr search again
06:18 smustafa   ok let me try that wasabi
06:18 wasabi     ... starts your zeb
06:18 wasabi     smustafa: $ zebrasrv -f  /home/mistuser/koha-dev/etc/koha-conf.xml
06:17 wasabi     zebra-indexing, and the zebrasrv process are 2 seperate things
06:16 wasabi     but, if you dont rememebr starting your zebrasrv, process then it prolly is not started
06:16 cait       bbl
06:15 wasabi     is how to check
06:14 wasabi     smustafa: $ ps -ef|grep zebrasrv
05:50 smustafa   its alright :)
05:46 cait       sorry, I can't look at my notes now, have to get ready for work
05:39 smustafa   how do I start it..
05:38 cait       but most of the times indexing was ok and I got no results I forgot to start zebrasrv
05:38 smustafa   also 0 size..
05:38 smustafa   same for the koha-zebraqueue.err and koha-zebraqueue-output.log
05:38 smustafa   The size of koha-zebradaemon.err and koha-zebradaemon-output.log is 0 both
05:38 cait       me neither
05:38 smustafa   not sure why..
05:38 smustafa   it is trying to load some filter modules...and it works ok, but then it stops at 01:47:06-26/08 zebraidx(26648) [log] Loaded filter module /usr/lib/idzebra-2.0/modules/mod-alvis.so
05:37 cait       no errors in the output of rebuild zebra?
05:37 smustafa   +++++++++++++++++++++++
05:37 smustafa   well at the last step of REINDINXG Zebra
05:37 cait       not sure one needs the other
05:36 Amit       heya cait
05:35 smustafa   when I ran in it..
05:35 smustafa   It shows exporting biblio....................etc etc
05:35 smustafa   well I think so, otherwise the zebraindexing would not be running right?
05:34 cait       is your zebrasrv running?
05:33 smustafa   it does not return anything..
05:33 smustafa   I can't seem to search eventhough I ran the zebra indexing
05:32 cait       hi Amit
05:29 wasabi     hey amit
05:26 Amit       heya wasabi
05:21 smustafa   THanks, I shall do that :)
05:18 wasabi     to fix your possible file-perm errors...
05:18 wasabi     $ chown -R koha:koha  /home/mistuser/koha-dev/etc/zebradb
05:17 cait       still half asleep :)
05:17 wasabi     as cait said before
05:16 cait       sorry, I just got up
05:16 wasabi     look for file-permission errors at the end of the rebuild...
05:15 smustafa   ok thanks wasabi.. :)
05:15 wasabi     ;)
05:15 smustafa   oh is that why...ok now I see things showing up....
05:14 wasabi     -v means verbose
05:14 wasabi     smustafa:  rebuild_zebra.pl  -v
05:13 cait       and make sure your zebra files are owned by your koha user
05:13 cait       I would peraps try -v as option to see more
05:13 smustafa   ok..
05:13 cait       sorry smustafa, no real idea
05:12 smustafa   trying to setup Zebra on my Koha-DEV setup...but when I run the rebuild_zebra.pl tool it does not work...
05:12 smustafa   <smustafa>	export KOHA_CONF=/home/mistuser/koha-dev/etc/koha-conf.xml 	<smustafa>	I did that as koha:koha 	<smustafa>	then I did perl -I /var/www/koha-2010-08-04 /var/www/koha-2010-08-04/misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -r 	<smustafa>	but it shows nothing on the screen. Just stays there hanging....
05:12 smustafa   or cait?
05:12 smustafa   any ideas wasabi?
05:05 cait       morning #koha
05:04 smustafa   :( :(
05:04 smustafa   but it shows nothing on the screen.  Just stays there hanging....
05:04 smustafa   then I did perl -I /var/www/koha-2010-08-04 /var/www/koha-2010-08-04/misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -r
05:04 smustafa   I did that as koha:koha
05:04 smustafa   export KOHA_CONF=/home/mistuser/koha-dev/etc/koha-conf.xml
05:03 wasabi     s/way/away/
05:03 wasabi     smustafa:  but ask way... :)
