01:12 ybeddyj    hey
01:12 ybeddyj    Hello
01:12 ybeddyj    are you guys sleeping?
01:13 wasabi     yes, i am sleeping
01:13 ybeddyj    lol
01:14 ybeddyj    well i live in jamaica and i noticed that you guys have a list of install bases and jamaica isnt on it
01:14 ybeddyj    i want to change that asap
01:14 robin      ybeddyj: yay! :)
01:15 robin      wasabi: it's past 2 in the afternoon, time to stop sleeping.
01:15 ybeddyj    well truth is i did a little bit already
01:16 ybeddyj    but i realize that the copy i installed from koha.org git wasnt the community so i'm backing away from it getting a "proper" copy
01:17 robin      yeah, www.koha-community.org is where you want to start
01:18 ybeddyj    unfortunately it wasnt until i was reading some blog somewhere that i came upon the undesired but unavoidable switch
01:19 ybeddyj    so now i'm installing from your git and just about configuring
01:19 ybeddyj    i also want to send some donations to the way of the community as soon as a get paid for this job
01:20 chris      fixing bugs is the best way to do that
01:20 ybeddyj    well that too i want to address
01:21 chris      we have no real way to collect/use monetary donations
01:21 chris      so much prefer time/documentation/code
01:23 ybeddyj    i currently control the webhost that the package will be installed on also it uses namedvirtualhost and i wanted to suggest a modification/addition to the configuration section of the installation
01:23 chris      most people run named hosts
01:24 chris      the default is ports for those who dont have access/skills to run dns
01:25 chris      usually the people who can set up namedhosts can edit the conf file :-) but it wouldnt hurt to have it option
01:25 ybeddyj    i was thinking of adding a block that one could optionally decide to configure that will allow us to set things like the servername ports etc
01:25 chris      when it was first written that was the default
01:25 chris      it changed to ports
01:25 chris      round 2003
01:25 ybeddyj    ok i see
01:26 chris      having an option wouldnt hurt though
01:27 ybeddyj    also i would like if the config section sets the directory permissions in the koha-httpd.conf file
01:28 ybeddyj    personally i put this at the top before the first virtual host section "<Directory /usr/share/koha>     AllowOverride None     Order Deny,Allow     Deny from all </Directory>"
01:30 ybeddyj    then for each virtualhost section i added the following "    <Directory /usr/share/koha/opac>         Options FollowSymLinks         AllowOverride All         Order allow,deny         Allow from all     </Directory>"
01:31 ybeddyj    i would love if this could be added to the conf file when standard installation is selected
01:32 ybeddyj    i dont know anything about perl but i'm going to look to find where to add that and try to submit code as is necessary
01:32 wasabi     http://koha-community.org/get-involved/for-developers/
01:33 ybeddyj    would that be ok chris?
01:33 ybeddyj    checking link wasabi
01:33 chris      yup
01:34 wasabi     http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/
01:34 wasabi     oops , http://bugs.koha-community.org
01:41 ybeddyj    by the way i'm new to this whole thingy, i wondered if there is a way to do an upgrade versus an install
01:42 wasabi     start with the install first
01:43 wasabi     the use git to update your code-base
01:44 wasabi     then a DB upgrade will happen, on the next admin login
01:44 wasabi     thats the best way to upgrade
01:45 chris      or use the packages
01:45 chris      http://debian.koha-community.org/
01:50 ybeddyj    ok great, so if i get it correctly after already installed. if i do the git clone part then "git checkout -b myinstall origin" i should then proceed to the admin login page?
01:52 eter       oh by the way the readme needs this tiny adjustment "git clone git://git.koha-community.org/pub/scm/koha.git kohaclone"
01:53 chris      which readme?
01:53 chris      we have too many of them im afraid ;)
01:54 chris      ybeddyj: usually you do the git clone first, then install
01:54 eter       im ure of the ubuntu one i think the pub/scm part needs to go
01:54 chris      yep, but which ubuntu one :)
01:55 eter       install.ubuntu
01:55 chris      eter: did you install from git or tarball?
01:56 chris      if you have git, you could do a patch for that right now
01:56 eter       git
01:56 ybeddyj    chris: yes i'm refering to after an already initial running system...my bad no pointing that out
01:57 chris      ybeddyj: well you should never have to do another clone  ... after your initial one ;)
01:57 chris      have you read the wiki page about working with git?
01:58 chris      http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Version_Control_Using_Git
01:58 chris      specifically
01:58 chris      http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Version_Control_Using_Git#See_changes_.27origin.27_Git_repo_from_your_branch
01:58 ybeddyj    still trying to cram all the details...newbie stresses lol
01:58 chris      eter: you want me to walk you through making a patch and submitting it? :)
01:59 eter       yes
01:59 chris      ok
01:59 chris      have you used git before at all?
02:00 chris      if you havent on that machine you probably need to do thsi first
02:00 chris      http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Version_Control_Using_Git#Fill_some_parameters
02:00 eter       actually newbie/ybeddyj using the xchat instead of the mbit thingy
02:01 eter       but also wanting to kep track of the convo
02:01 chris      once you have set up those parameters, let me know
02:01 eter       i've used it for installing only koha
02:07 eter       finish setting parameters should i go on to the  repo clone?
02:07 eter       chilts,
02:07 eter       chris,
02:08 chris      only if you havent cloned it already
02:08 chris      if you have
02:08 eter       its cloned on the server but i'm now settingup on my latop
02:08 chris      in that case, yep
02:16 eter       git cloned
02:20 chris      right now we are ready to edit that file
02:21 chris      probably you will want to create a branch to work in too
02:22 eter       ok tell me about it ...going on to that section now
02:22 chris      git checkout -b documentation_fixes
02:22 chris      or some name that makes sense to you
02:23 eter       should i do this before " git checkout -b mywork origin"?
02:23 chris      instead of
02:23 chris      unless you want to call your branch mywork
02:23 eter       i had started doing it form the wiki
02:24 chris      you can change mywork to whatever you want
02:24 chris      its just a suggestion
02:24 chris      i usually call my branches something that means something
02:24 eter       ok well i'll do over and  call it ybeddyj
02:24 eter       i see
02:24 chris      i wouldnt do that either
02:25 chris      you never want to do all your changes in one branch, you want a branch per topic
02:25 eter       ok so many branches for area/type of fix is the way then
02:26 eter       ok i did the docfix branch
02:27 chris      right you can edit the file now, and make your change, and save it
02:27 eter       ok
02:33 chris      once that is done
02:33 chris      git commit filename
02:34 eter       ok i did both ubuntu files commit in a sec
02:34 chris      if you want to commit them both, then list both filenames
02:35 eter       oops never did the bug submission to get the bug id going to do that now
02:38 eter       do i need to create a separate account for bugzilla or it will work with the one i just crreated for koha-community
02:41 chris      separate
02:49 eter       did commit
02:49 chris      excellent
02:49 chris      git format-patch origin
02:50 eter       did
02:50 chris      cool
02:50 chris      if you want you can have a look at that file, check it looks ok
02:50 chris      the next step is to send it to the patches mailing list
02:50 chris      http://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-patches
02:51 robin      ibot: what now is <reply>Now is the time for all good threads to block for I/O.
02:51 ibot       robin: no idea
02:51 robin      ibot: what now is <reply>Now \is the time for all good threads to block for I/O.
02:51 ibot       robin: i don't know
02:51 robin      silly ibot
02:51 chris      you'll want to sign up here, so it doesnt hold your mail for moderation
02:51 chris      then
02:51 chris      git send-email name-of-your.patch
02:51 eter       ok
02:52 chris      (if it complains you dont have send-email .. apt-get install git-email)
02:53 eter       sure did
02:53 chris      and once you have done that, you're done :-)
02:54 chris      if you want bonus points, you can attach the patch to the bug also
02:57 eter       ok
03:02 eter       now on to find where to modify the conf file....(scripts,vars)

09:37 Amit       Hdl around?
09:37 hdl        hi Amit
09:37 hdl        how are you ?
09:37 savitra    Hi Henri..
09:38 savitra    good time to talk about acq work?
09:38 Amit       Hi hdl
09:38 hdl        Hi savitra.
09:38 hdl        Yes it could be  good time.
09:39 savitra    great..so I suppose you have seen the RFCs we had posted a while back..
09:39 jransom    Hi hdl
09:39 hdl        hi jransom
09:39 hdl        savitra: yes.
09:39 hdl        Very interesting.
09:40 hdl        (just a moment so that I can grab the links)
09:40 savitra    sure..
09:41 savitra    so those processes are common here in India..all academic libraries follow them..
09:41 savitra    the RFCs are here: http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/Koha-3-4-RFCs-Acquisitions-Serials-and-SDI-td3049357.html
09:43 hdl        found that.
09:43 hdl        thanks
09:43 savitra    sure..
09:44 hdl        your Payment process RFC covers much of what we are to do.
09:45 hdl        I think that we should try and organize and maybe work in pair.
09:45 hdl        Our work on that will begin in January.
09:45 hdl        see http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Invoice_management_RFC
09:45 savitra    I see..we expect to start in January as well..
09:45 hdl        It kind of looks quite the same.
09:45 savitra    ok..let me take a look at that RFC..
09:46 hdl        We are writing the use cases and making mockups so that it would be clear as of what we engage to do.
09:48 savitra    ok..I am looking at it..but it appears more about additional fees..
09:48 hdl        If you see no objection to that, i think that we could share branches on git.koha-community.org and arrange weekly meetings.
09:48 savitra    our RFC is more about capturing information about payments that is made to the book seller..(cheque no. date, notes..)..
09:49 hdl        savitra: I overlooked the RFC definition...
09:50 hdl        What StEtienne university ask is an Invoice management.
09:50 hdl        (So as to get what has been paid.
09:50 hdl        )
09:51 savitra    ah ok. all right that sounds the same..
09:51 hdl        (which looks quite close to what you are to do)
09:51 savitra    yes it does..
09:51 hdl        So I think that we have much to gain to share work and views..
09:51 savitra    so no problems..we can share branches..
09:51 savitra    yes..sure..
09:52 hdl        Would you be ok to have regular meetings around that... ?
09:52 savitra    yes..weekly meetings may be a bit tough..all weeks..
09:52 savitra    so we can have weekly meetings..but I may have to cancel sometimes..
09:52 hdl        bi-weekly then ?
09:53 savitra    bi-weekly sounds better, yes..
09:53 hdl        Maybe we could sign off one an other... And add public remotes form oen another...
09:54 hdl        We could announce that on koha-devel, share work and ask for feed back from the community.
09:54 savitra    sure..sounds good..
09:54 savitra    how many people will work on this from your side?
09:55 hdl        1,5 person... for 3 months.
09:55 hdl        development is due for March.
09:55 hdl        or April
09:56 hdl        But there are many parts to that.
09:56 hdl        Would you work on a Template::Toolkit base ? or HTML::Template ?
09:57 savitra    hmm..I did not see this project to be that big..
09:57 hdl        how many persons would be working on that from your side ?
09:58 hdl        and what is your schedule ?
09:58 savitra    I was thinking more like 1.5 person-month total for this..
09:59 savitra    the schedule is not fixed yet..there has been some delay from the client side..
09:59 savitra    so I think we will be ok with your March/
09:59 savitra    April deadlines..
10:00 hdl        (actually, the work also is on the orders and basket searches... So is a little be more global than just adding Payment)
10:01 savitra    ok..
10:02 savitra    I would like to see your documentation on this..
10:02 hdl        I will send you that next week.
10:02 savitra    and then we can work out scope of work for each side?
10:02 hdl        sounds good.
10:04 hdl        would you be able to share documentation too ?
10:04 savitra    yes..sure..we have some mockups already..
10:04 hdl        very nice.
10:05 savitra    well, those are really screenshots from another LMS that is commonly used here..
10:05 hdl        hehe...
10:05 savitra    :>
10:05 savitra    but I think useful to understand what is required..not necessarily how it work be designed on Koha..
10:06 savitra    we will send additional documentation as well.
10:06 * hdl      agrees
10:06 savitra    on the template..
10:06 savitra    I guess we use html:template..
10:07 hdl        I was thinking that since Template::Toolkit was to be used in 3.4 maybe any new additional page should try and use that.
10:09 savitra    hmm..ok, not a problem..
10:09 hdl        But maybe it would be an over load in the process.
10:10 hdl        feel free to comment
10:11 savitra    overloading sounds ok to me..we will give it a try..
10:11 savitra    I think you guys have much more experience with Koha..so we will probably defer to you on such things..
10:12 hdl        So next action is : sending you our documentation. waiting for yours. commenting on that via email.
10:12 hdl        Posting all that on the wiki.
10:13 hdl        And agree on how we share work.
10:14 savitra    yes..we can target to do that by end of year I think..
10:15 savitra    I will send over our documentation by end of next week.
10:16 hdl        sounds good...
10:16 hdl        same for us.
10:16 savitra    all right..
10:16 hdl        Then a meeting at the beginning of the year
10:16 savitra    sure..
10:32 hdl        savitra: Seeing all your RFCs, it would be quite the same scope that what we should work on.
10:33 hdl        savitra: so really it could be very interesting.
10:34 hdl        savitra: a quite important  change that would occur also for us would be that there would be a list of persons allowed to USE (spend or engage) on budgets.
10:34 hdl        anyway, we shal send you all the things we will work on...
10:34 hdl        We really would enjoy working with you.

12:15 hdl        Pls answer onlist and share ideas...
12:15 hdl        Maybe we could have some kind of "abstraction" for that.

12:36 HarryH     We get the following error after upgrading from 3.0 to 3.2
12:36 HarryH     Bad arg length for Socket::pack_sockaddr_in, length is 0, should be 4 at /usr/lib/perl/5.10/Socket.pm line 214.
12:36 HarryH     anyone know whats wrong?
12:43 kf         sorry HarryH- no idea. Perhaps try again a bit later if you don't get an answer now - people here change according to the time zones.
12:43 * Brooke   pokes druthb.
12:43 Brooke     curious, finger must have slipped.
12:44 * druthb   pokes Brooke back.
12:46 druthb     HarryH:  What were you doing just before that error?
12:48 druthb     That error is pretty deep in the network layer, but perlmoks (http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=642313 ) suggests that it's looking for an IP address, and not getting one.
12:49 druthb     Just guessin', but somewhere in settings is looking for an internet address, and not finding one.  a Z39.50 target with no address in the box might do that, if it wasn't caught sooner than that.
12:51 HarryH     druthb: after upgrading I have started the admin web. This ended with this error message
12:52 druthb     Hrm.  Keep checkin' with folks.  It's early yet; usually in a couple or three hours, most of the US folks are on, and there might be someone with a better idea then.
12:52 kf         magnus++
12:52 magnus     um, thanks? ;-)
12:55 HarryH     druthb: thanks
12:55 druthb     HarryH: sure thing...sorry I can't be more help with that!

13:21 owen       Hi #koha
13:22 druthb     hi, owen! :)
13:26 magnus     hi wasabi
13:30 kf         hi wasabi :)
14:16 owen       I'm trying to sign off on a patch, but I see a minor change I think should be made
14:17 owen       Can I make the change and sign off at the same time? What is the proper procedure?
14:18 gmcharlt   owen: six of one, half dozen of the other
14:18 gmcharlt   for a minor typo fix, making the changing and signing off is OK
14:19 gmcharlt   but some contributors may prefer that you not do that so that they can merge back with the public repo more easily
14:19 gmcharlt   depends on how they handle their patches - if you were signing off one of mine, I wouldn't mind
14:24 owen       Thanks gmcharlt
14:27 * druthb   ponders how to reuse/repurpose the little crate that the clementines came in.
14:27 Brooke     puppet stage, obviously.
14:27 Brooke     give it to a children's Librarian
14:30 druthb     It's not-quite letter sized, or it'd make a nifty inbox.
14:31 druthb     The bottom of it is not very sturdy...could use it to capture doodads in my workshop that end up scattered around.
14:32 owen       Send it back in time 15 years to be a CD box?
14:33 druthb     The dimensions are kinda questionable for that.
14:33 jcamins    Good morning, #koha
14:34 Brooke     Good Morning, Mr. Camins.
14:34 druthb     hm.  It's about the right width...maybe it'd fit on a shelf in the bedroom.  I could re-decorate it, and use it to capture all the hair doo-dads we girls can accumulate.
14:34 * druthb   waves at jcamins.
14:35 owen       My house has half  a dozen of those boxes and doo-dads are still everywhere
14:35 * Brooke   drools at the thought of the container store.
14:35 * druthb   lubs the container store.
14:35 Brooke     If number of boxen = n then doodads = n + 12
14:36 jcamins    Brooke: that doesn't sound quite right.
14:37 jcamins    I think you meant doodads = boxen * 12
14:37 * owen     is horrified at the disaster that is Bug 5513
14:37 munin      04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5513 normal, P5, ---, oleonard, ASSIGNED, staff client display all screwy if you don't have all permissions
14:37 Brooke     nope, you have too many doodads.
14:37 druthb     The formula at my house used to be doodads= boxen ^ 4, but I've weeded it down to a little better function.
14:38 Brooke     Ah!
14:38 * Brooke   trembles in fear at the sight of bug 5513
14:39 druthb     oh, my...
14:39 * owen     is relieved to find it is the result of a recent commit, not a long-standing undiscovered issue
14:46 * jcamins  might be a geek... he laughed at today's xkcd.
14:46 * druthb   is a geek; she laughed at it.
14:46 Brooke     >.>
14:47 * Brooke   thinks it's clearly not a genetic tree.
14:52 wizzyrea   jcamins: lol
14:52 * wizzyrea laughed too
14:53 * druthb   is astonished by the cleverness that is Google Labs' Body Browser.  (Requires newest Chrome beta)
14:55 wizzyrea   i loved this show when I was a kid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLhQfcZ-BWk
14:55 wizzyrea   it's slow, and it makes no sense, but it's germane, I swear
14:56 Brooke     heresy! They cut the intro!

15:31 Nate       that's what terrifies me :)
15:32 nengard    run away and elope - i so did not need the wedding day
15:32 * Brooke   got married on the res and has never once regretted it.
15:33 jcamins    Nate: you're not far from NYC. The Manhattan marriage bureau is very classy. :)
15:33 Nate       yeah but I would need to chloroform Libby and have her wake up getting married to sell that one
15:34 Nate       ooooh I can say, "honey lets get married in Manhattan"
15:34 jcamins    And you can go for Chinese food after!
15:34 Nate       no the bride to be is way to far into teh planning stages to stop that train now
15:34 * Brooke   shivers.
15:35 * drotsk   asks, does this handkerchief smell like chloroform to you?

15:41 jcamins    Sorry about that.
15:42 owen       Wow, I was just thinking about excavations at ancient nabratein meyers
15:42 paul_p     Brooke: very dangerous: imagine I found her with another man :D :D [well, no danger in fact, she will be with 4 other men ... our 4 sons :D ]

15:50 paul_p     jcamins: yep, we've 4 boys : 15, 10, 6, 3.5 years
15:50 * jcamins  is the oldest of four boys
15:51 jcamins    paul_p: about the same distribution between me and my brothers.
15:52 paul_p     Nate: about being terrified, there are 2 options : either you'll be terrified BEFORE [hey, i'll get married, am I mad or ?], or AFTER [hey, i'm married ! and it's forever...]. Personnally, it has been before, and it's much better I think ;-)
15:52 paul_p     jcamins: really, you're 15 ? :D
15:53 jcamins    Same distribution, not same ages.
15:53 Brooke     the secret is not to promise forever ;)
15:57 paul_p     jcamins: I was joking.
15:57 jcamins    paul_p: I know. I'd be quite a precocious 15yo, wouldn't I?

16:29 ronald     hi, anybody can help me?
16:29 owen       Ask away ronald
16:29 ronald     i have a problem whit de renewalls
16:30 ronald     well...i do a book loan
16:31 ronald     and this generated a return date
16:31 ronald     but i try renewall
16:32 ronald     but this not generated a return date
16:32 ronald     why?
16:32 owen       ronald: After you renew a book it no longer has a due date?
16:33 ronald     yes
16:33 owen       What version are you using?
16:33 Brooke     hmm wonder if that only happens if you try and renew on the day you checked it out.
16:33 * magnus   wishes everyone a good weekend
16:33 ronald     3.00.02.012
16:35 ronald     yes broke
16:35 ronald     same day
16:35 ronald     i not try in other days
16:35 * wizzyrea can check that
16:35 ronald     ok
16:36 wizzyrea   though I'm probably a touch further down the line re: patches than you are
16:39 wizzyrea   lol the book I randomly picked has stupid rules and I have to fix it before I can test, sorry for the delay
16:40 Brooke     karma :) You fix summat for someone else, you find your own problem that would have blissfully gone undetected.
16:40 ibot       :) you fix summat for someone else, you find your own problem that would have blissfully gone undetected. has neutral karma
16:40 * Brooke   laughs at ibot.
16:40 ronald     i need a patches?
16:41 wizzyrea   no, just a minute
16:41 ronald     ??
16:41 wizzyrea   i'm only saying that the server I'm checking on has patches beyond your version, so if it works in mine, then you might want the next version (due very soon) but if it doesn't it's likely a bug we'll need to report
16:41 wizzyrea   or it's something else
16:42 owen       Doesn't 3.00.02.012 = 3.0.2 ?
16:43 ronald     3.00.02.012
16:43 cait       it's weekend :)

16:47 ronald     ah ok
16:47 cait       hi jcamins, Brooke, liz and drotsk
16:48 cait       trea is now drotsk?
16:48 drotsk     right
16:48 jcamins    Since you're here, what does "verzeichniss" mean?
16:49 * druthb   waves to cait, and the-being-formerly-known-as-trea.
16:49 cait       uh
16:49 cait       context?
16:49 cait       normally something like a directory
16:49 cait       modern writing: verzeichnis
16:50 jcamins    "Verzeichniss verkaeuflicher Muenzen und Medaillen von Edmund Rappaport Bankgeschaeft und Muenzenhandlung."
16:50 cait       yay
16:51 cait       directory of coins and medals on sale from edmund Rappaport banking something and coins shop
16:51 cait       sorry for bad translation
16:51 jcamins    Ah-ha. Thank you.
16:52 cait       :)
16:53 wizzyrea   ronald: I can't duplicate your issue, but I have several of my own, maybe someone else can test
16:55 ronald     -.
16:55 ronald     :s
16:55 wizzyrea   (I'm still working on it though)
16:55 wizzyrea   (but I might not be as fast as you would like an answer)
16:56 wizzyrea   AHA
16:56 wizzyrea   one moment (my rules were wrong)
16:56 wizzyrea   (and an illuminating discovery)
16:56 wizzyrea   ronald: I am not seeing your issue on my installation
16:57 wizzyrea   you say that the date due disappears when you try to renew?
16:57 ronald     yes
16:58 ronald     in white
16:58 wizzyrea   what page are you renewing from? (Check Out, Details)
16:58 ronald     :s
16:58 ronald     i dont under...
16:59 wizzyrea   example: I can renew an item on the same day from both circulation.pl and from moremember.pl
16:59 wizzyrea   and the date shows up
17:01 owen       ronald: I can't reproduce your problem in a test installation of version 3.00.06.010 (renewing on the same day as checkout)
17:01 owen       ronald: Your Koha version is quite old, though, so you should think about upgrading
17:02 ronald     not work in other days
17:03 ronald     i try the same day and not, and other day not
17:04 * wizzyrea kind of remembers a very old bug for that, but was fixed in later 3.00.x versions
17:09 ronald     but in your koha, the renewall work fine?
17:10 hdl        wizzyrea: blame it on 3.0 Release Maintainer... who did his job without sending patches for master
17:10 wizzyrea   aw
17:10 wizzyrea   not the point :/
17:10 wizzyrea   <3 hdl
17:11 jcamins    hdl: but didn't this fix get into Master? It works fine for wizzyrea.
17:13 paul_p     ok, time for ... ... holiday now !
17:13 cait       have a nice holiday paul_p
17:13 * paul_p   closed 14 customers questions/bugs today.

19:47 * wizzyrea wishes there had been martini's involved. I had the chance at beer but hadn't eaten for 24h so thought it might be best to avoid the booze :P

19:48 ronald     by opac
19:49 owen       ronald: Have you tried upgrading?
19:51 ronald     mmm...how?
19:51 owen       ronald: By downloading the most up-to-date version of Koha from http://www.koha-community.org
19:53 ronald     but i cant now...because these koha is working in a university
19:54 ronald     whats mean this error?
19:55 cait       has is it worked before?
19:55 cait       have you changed something in the configuration?
19:56 ronald     yes
19:56 ronald     nop
19:57 cait       but something must have changed
19:57 cait       can you reserve other titles?
19:57 cait       what does koha-error.log say?
19:57 ronald     no, any titles
20:00 ronald     but in the intranet i can reserve
20:00 ronald     by in the opc not
20:01 ronald     so, in koha-error.log, dnt shows nothind
20:02 cait       do you use the en tempates?
20:03 cait       english?
20:07 ronald     log visor?
20:08 owen       ronald: Where are you located?
21:02 mib_fwq1o  could someone briefly explain to me the process to do a bulk marc import?  i've tried using the stage marc records tool but it doesn't add any items (even though it says items were added)
21:03 cait       do you have your items in field 952?
21:03 mib_fwq1o  cait: yes
21:03 cait       the bulk import exects the same data format
21:03 cait       if you don't get the items in, the problem is probably in your data
21:04 cait       do you have $a and $b fields with your branchcode?
21:05 mib_fwq1o  yes
21:05 cait       hm. can you post an example line on paste.koha-community.org?
21:06 jcamins    mib_fwq1o: are the bib records showing up in your search results after importing?
21:09 mib_fwq1o  oh bother, i've just found the rebuild instructions on the faq, sorry about that guys.  although i should note the faq wasn't the easiest to find on the site, perhaps a link on the top banner might be good?
21:09 wizzyrea   heh
21:09 cait       mib_fwq1o: have you staged them and managed them afterwards? there are 2 steps for import from tools in koha.
21:10 * wizzyrea notes that it's getting crowded up there
21:10 cait       the more the merrier? :)
21:10 cait       ah, on the page
21:10 cait       yep, I have problems with some navigations in firefox
21:19 cait       bed time
21:19 cait       bye all
21:44 jcamins    Good night, #koha
