02:19 rangi hi indradg
02:20 indradg rangi, hi
02:20 rangi i was wondering, is there a webpage anywhere about the west bengal project?
02:22 rangi http://findingheroes.co.nz/2011/05/17/kotui-an-update-from-sue-sutherland-regarding-koha/
02:22 rangi cos id love to respond to this with a link to it :)
02:24 rangi [off] because contrary to that statement, i dont think it was evaluated fairly and i dont think its less fit for purpose than symphony, and there are more libraries in your pilot than in the whole of the kotui rollout :)
02:41 indradg rangi, no there is no webpage yet... however in another 10 days time, I would be able to officially write about it.. coz by 25th May the first batch of 30 libraries are to be deployed
02:42 indradg i'm also discussing with the client about press releases and such
02:43 rangi awesome!
02:52 indradg rangi, pm?
02:53 rangi fire away

03:24 rangi heya hdl and druthb
03:24 druthb hi rangi
03:31 hdl hi rangi
03:32 rangi you are up very early hdl, or are you in a different timezone?
03:39 hdl No. Up quite early. Koha keeps me awake.
03:39 rangi i can relate to that
04:09 bg evening
04:10 eythian afternoon.
04:10 bg ok afternoon euthian
04:10 bg damn

04:21 pastebot "rangi" at 202.78.240.7 pasted "git bz" (11 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/46
04:21 rangi yes!!
04:22 * bg looks
04:22 bg huh
04:22 rangi fetches the patch from bugzilla and applies it
04:23 bg no
04:23 rangi i had to hack at git-bz a bit to work
04:23 rangi make it work even
04:23 bg hmm.... that's pretty swwet
04:23 rangi tomorrow ill clean it up and put it up somewhere for people to use
04:23 Oak \o
04:24 rangi should make it a lot easier for people to signoff, and for sekjal to do qa

04:25 Oak The Spoon Theory by Christine Miserandino: http://goo.gl/qH9z6
04:26 rangi attach, apply, edit
04:27 rangi file (which is like attach, but makes a new bug)
04:27 bg ooh I like edit... that sounds good
04:27 rangi so you can make a patch, then git bz file and that will make a bug and attach the patch in one go
04:43 eythian New 3.2.9 and master packages out, for everyone's enjoyment.
04:44 rangi yay! that will make adnc happy
04:44 rangi eythian++
04:45 eythian adnc?
04:45 rangi someone from germany who kept asking abtout 3.4.0 packages :)
04:46 eythian Oh right. The master packages aren't anything special, they don't have the bits I want to add to 3.4 in them
04:46 rangi ahh

11:37 hdl Hi Irma
11:37 Irma Bonjour hdl!
11:38 Irma Ca va?
11:39 Irma I wonder who I should ask about adding the http://digital-conferences-calendar.info/ to the calendar on the koha-community.org home page ...
11:41 hdl Irma: wizzyrea or nengard should be the persons for you :D
11:47 huginn` New commit(s) needsignoff: [Bug 6351] Cannot delete library-specific circulation rules <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6351>
11:50 druthb cait++
11:57 hdl druthb: it is fixed in the management the circulation rules we proposed.
11:57 hdl (well it does not exist there)
12:00 druthb hdl: coolness. :)
12:01 hdl please test those branches.
12:01 hdl sign off..
12:01 hdl make comment on those.
12:01 hdl would they have a problem. I am sure we could solve that.
12:03 conan hi everyone
12:03 druthb If I can get un-buried from three go-lives in the next three weeks, hdl, I'll try to take a look at it.
12:06 conan I found a 'show stopper' for us here and I wanted to know if it could be some missing configuration or if that's the intended way koha should work
12:06 conan we have several libraries
12:06 conan but we want to implement only one instance of koha for all of them
12:07 conan now
12:07 conan the problem I have is that a staff from library X cannot see users from library Y
12:07 conan and we want to borrow books from any library to any user
12:08 conan Am I missing some configuration option ? Or it's on purpose that a staff from X cannot even see users from Y ?
12:09 jwagner conan, is IndependentBranches syspref turned on?
12:09 conan yup
12:09 jwagner Turn it off :-)
12:11 conan jwagner: hum... but that will allow other actions too
12:11 cait ys
12:11 cait yes
12:11 cait but she is still right
12:11 jwagner Which actions don't you want to allow?
12:11 conan I want staff from X to borrow to user from Y, but I don't want staff from X to be able to return a book that was borrowed by an Y staff
12:12 conan I want books from Y to return to Y
12:12 cait do you have reservefromotherbranches turned on?
12:12 conan yes
12:12 cait hm
12:12 conan oh, wait, was hold... let me check again
12:12 conan canreservefromotherbranches = Allow
12:13 cait about the users
12:13 cait I think you will not get that solved without indybranches off
12:13 cait I think you can bring up a patron from another branch by scanning the cardnumber
12:14 cait but you can't search them
12:14 jwagner What should happen when staff from X try to check in an item belonging to Y is that the system will say the item needs to go in transit to Y
12:14 conan I'll try that
12:15 conan jwagner: staff from X can only borrow stuff from X, not from Y. He/She can ask for an IL loan, I guess
12:15 conan or...
12:15 conan better send the user to the other library, since the majority are here in campus
12:15 conan is less fuss to walk to the other library than to do ILloans
12:22 conan cait: using cardnumber worked fine, I think I can go with that for now
12:22 conan thx
12:23 conan another one now
12:23 conan I have circulation limits, lets say 4 books for some kind of user, but when staff is checking out books to this user, staff can bypass this limit
12:24 conan is there an option for that? ( I didn't found any on circulation yesterday)
12:24 cait hm
12:24 cait I am not sure you can deactivate the staff override
12:25 conan yes, it does appear a warning say you will borrow more than allowed, but we want to take out that option from staff
12:25 cait check system preferences, search for override and check the circ permissions for staff users
12:25 conan if there is no option, I'll dive into code, but I wanted to prevent that on this stage
12:25 cait or hide the yes with jquery ;)
12:25 conan cait: that's what my boss say all the time: "we'll fix that with js"
12:26 conan but I'm reluctant to do so
12:26 conan js is not my area
12:26 cait it can still be bypassed
12:26 cait but it needs more skill to do so
12:27 cait making it another syspref/permission would be the better solution
12:27 cait I would check there is no option for it and file an enhancement bug as a first step
12:27 conan hum, there are overrides for not_for_loan, for renewal times and for hols, but not for max quantity, I guess this will be solved by code
12:28 cait paul_p: around?
12:28 oleonard I was going to ask the same thing...wondering where to find his saved "old bugs" list
12:29 cait I get the number he does - but with enh
12:29 cait let me see how my saved search looks like
12:29 cait ah, i will ust share it
12:30 oleonard Where does it show up after it has been shared?
12:30 cait oleonard: i shared it as all bugs
12:30 cait preferences
12:31 cait saved searches
12:31 cait and then you can add it to your footer
12:31 oleonard why all bugs?
12:32 cait hm?
12:32 cait the name?
12:32 wahanui it has been said that the name is 3.2.x - so git checkout -b 3.2.x origin/3.2.x - for updating I do a git rebase origin/3.2.x instead of a git pull
12:32 cait forget name
12:32 wahanui cait: I forgot name
12:32 oleonard I thought we were talking about a list of bugs that hadn't been updated in over a year
12:32 cait a
12:32 cait sorry, misunderstanding here
12:33 * oleonard gets 150 for "Days since bug changed: (is greater than) 365 " excluding enhancements
12:33 cait but I think 1600 is still too high - because most of it is enhancements
12:33 cait and there are a lot of good ideas in there
12:34 cait ok, git format-patch origin is a bad idea when you are testing a 3.2.x thing
12:34 * oleonard has done that more than once!
12:35 cait hehe
12:35 cait thx :)
12:35 cait looots of patches
12:35 conan if I make changes to circ/circulation.pl I will need to do a make install again?
12:36 cait no?
12:36 wahanui it has been said that no is that bad
12:36 cait forget no
12:36 wahanui cait: I forgot no
12:37 cait conan: you should use git and a dev install, but no need to run installation again
12:39 conan I'm asking because install makes blib/INTRANET_CGI_DIR/circ/circulation.pl
12:39 conan which I guess is the one koha uses, and it's not a symbolic link, nor hard either
12:40 conan and have the same contents of course
12:40 cait sorry, I am confused
12:40 cait do you use a standard install?
12:43 conan no, a dev one
12:44 cait ok
12:44 conan the idea was to pull in changes easily when needed
12:44 cait and you have git?
12:44 conan yes
12:44 cait ok
12:44 cait just change the file
12:44 cait commit
12:44 cait perhaps you want to do it on a branch
12:44 cait you don't have to run the make process
12:44 conan I'm already on a local branch
12:44 conan but what about blib/INTRANET_CGI_DIR/circ/circulation.pl ?
12:44 cait only when you change things that are in koha-dev like indexes
12:45 cait I am not sure about the blib directory, but I never did something with it
12:47 cait quite sure you can ignore it :)
12:48 * conan cross fingers
13:18 cait oleonard++
13:20 oleonard Thanks cait
13:21 cait thx to you
13:21 cait are those old things all bugs or enh too?
13:21 oleonard I don't know what criteria Paul used
13:22 oleonard I got 150 excluding enhancements
13:22 cait I wouldn't want the enh marked WONTFIX
13:23 cait and the bugs need retesting in reassigning to a version perhaps
13:35 oleonard Some of those old bugs sound like they ought to be fixed. For instance Bug 2883

13:35 wizzyrea holy crap
13:35 wizzyrea http://git.fishsoup.net/man/git-bz.html
13:36 * wizzyrea can't take credit, rangi pointed it out to me (and probably all of you too, but I live in the past so... I'm often behind :))
13:36 druthb hi, wizzyrea!
13:36 wizzyrea hi
13:36 cait hehe
13:36 cait rangi told me he will write something up
13:37 wizzyrea the docs themselves are not bad
13:37 cait but it sure sounds very interesting!
13:37 cait not sure if there was a glitch or something
13:37 * wizzyrea was about to try it
13:40 sekjal seems like a handy tool for building some sweet git-hooks
13:44 cait hi sekjal
13:44 sekjal hi, cait!
13:44 cait and a nice opportunity to write something about git hooks on the wiki :)
13:44 cait ;)
13:45 cait or... I should go and google it :)
13:48 sekjal That's where I'd need to start... I know it's possible to hook in all kinds of actions to various points in the git workflow, but I haven't done it yet
13:48 cait same here
13:49 cait I got the impression you can do awesome things with git hooks... but have no idea where to start
13:49 wizzyrea ah, I see
13:49 sekjal I'd like one to take the process from signing off through submitting the patch to the list and attaching to Bugzilla. one line to do it all, rather than 4-5
13:50 * cait nods
13:50 wizzyrea the tricky bit is setting a cookie on your dev box to keep you logged into bz
13:50 cait I think you could also run the unit tests before submitting a patch?
13:50 * wizzyrea concieves of a shell script that could do most of that :P
13:50 cait wizzyrea: ah - using a dev laptop is good in that case :)
14:04 wizzyrea hi sophie
14:05 conan cait: can't crack it :(
14:05 cait ?
14:05 conan I found this:
14:05 conan http://paste.koha-community.org/47
14:05 hotdog Today is the start of our Negro Leagues Baseball exhibit, and I have to grill the hotdogs. That's why my name for today is hotdog.
14:05 conan and tried the 3 methods that are now commented
14:05 icecream it's apparently hotdog/icecream day in norway
14:06 conan cait: from our conversation an hour ago, to avoid loaning to users if max loans reached
14:06 hotdog but they don't play baseball
14:06 icecream but they have endless summer days
14:06 hotdog yea, for two weeks
14:06 * cheapbeer checks his watch
14:06 cheapbeer Too early?
14:06 icecream never too early for icecream
14:06 conan oleonard: depends on your longitude
14:07 cait conan: sorry, not talking perl fluently
14:07 cait perhaps someone else can help
14:07 * conan needs a circulation guru
14:07 conan cait: noproblem, I'll keep looking
14:08 oleonard My polite email to Guyana yesterday hasn't made an impression.
14:08 conan if someone else can direct me on how to avoid the question for TOO_MANY checkouts to pop, I'll be saved
14:09 cait hm
14:09 cait I think you want it to pop
14:09 hotdog Ok, off to the grill until early afternoon...
14:09 cait but you don't want it to be overridable
14:09 wizzyrea gl hotdog
14:09 cait you could check how it works for not for loan overrides
14:09 cait there is a sys pref for that
14:09 cait to not allow overrides
14:09 wizzyrea so the problem is that you want everyone to see everyone's patrons
14:10 wizzyrea but you don't want to circ between libraries
14:10 wizzyrea ?
14:10 wizzyrea isn't there something like a checkout limit matrix?

14:16 conan wizzyrea: there is a checkout limit, in circulation rules, problem is Circulation.pm says this is something staff can override, and shows you a yes/no box to confirm
14:17 conan we wanted to avoid that, I fixed like this:

14:22 conan well, it's not so mad scheme, I find sense in it
14:23 wizzyrea nah that's our usual response to keep ourselves sane
14:23 wizzyrea so that we can support any mad scheme that a library can throw at us :)

14:33 wizzyrea hi larry :)
14:33 larryb wizzyrea: Hi there.
14:37 vfernandes hi Koha community :D
14:37 oleonard Hi vfernandes
14:38 vfernandes after 2 weeks with Koha the library that i'm managing it's quit haapy with Koha and everything i'ts working fine
14:39 vfernandes *everything is working fine
14:40 wizzyrea everything_working_fine++
14:40 wizzyrea vfernandes++ for telling us so :)
14:41 vfernandes now the librarians are importing some old circulation movements from the old system and they asked me if it's possible to suspend all email notifications
14:41 vfernandes which is the best way to do this? turn off postfix?
14:42 wizzyrea i'm having an internal debate - turn off postfix, let it generate the messages then dump the queue, or prevent the messages from being generated in the first place
14:42 wizzyrea i'm not sure which is better
14:42 wizzyrea (or a 3rd option I haven't come up with )
14:43 vfernandes it's possible to prevent the messages from being generated easily on Koha? i don't think so
14:43 wizzyrea overdues is a cronjob, so that's easy
14:43 wizzyrea and I think there's a process message queue for hold notifications
14:44 wizzyrea so that's easy
14:44 wizzyrea it's the circ ones that are tricky, and sounds like those are the ones you care about
14:45 vfernandes yes those are more difficult to prevent
14:48 vfernandes i can turn off postfix, then when the process_queue_message tries to send the emails they failed...
15:02 hdl vfernandes: consider importing all the returned issues into old_issues rather than into issues.
15:02 hdl and updating items.onloan with the duedate of the itemnumbers.
15:03 vfernandes hdl, the issues that the librarian are recording are issues still "open" (items overdues, etc..)
15:03 cait would turning off enhancedmessagingpreferences temporarily stop them from beig created?
15:04 hdl k
15:07 oleonard double-testing++
15:07 * oleonard is saved from submitting a broken patch
15:28 vfernandes need some help... during the records migration i had some records with 327 field having 3 $a subfields, but my script had an error and only 2 of them were imported.
15:29 vfernandes how i can changed the marcxml of the Koha biblio records in order to add the other subfield? It's possible to update the records without change the biblionumber?
15:30 conan vfernandes: from inside koha, sure, but I guess you want something to work in bulk, are you?
15:31 vfernandes yes in bulk
15:31 huginn` New commit(s) needsignoff: [Bug 3140] It is possible to email someone else's private list <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3140>
15:31 conan vfernandes: and what about fixing your script, the one you said has an error?
15:32 oleonard There, a bug on the "old" list with a new patch :)
15:32 vfernandes conan that's easy, but the script only changes the xml record fiel to marcxml in order to be imported
15:33 vfernandes it's possible to update records in bulk?
15:35 sekjal is anyone else having problems with cataloging in IE8?
15:35 sekjal is that a known problem?
15:35 oleonard is anyone else cataloging in IE8?
15:36 conan vfernandes: sure, but wont be easy, I don't know if there is a tool, only know a library: Marc:Batch
15:36 sekjal we've got a couple partners who can only use IE due to hyper-restrictive IT setups
15:36 conan not here, not now
15:36 conan why IE8 anyway!
15:36 oleonard sekjal: I'm always happy to look at browser-compatibility bugs
15:36 conan ah
15:36 conan poor souls
15:37 oleonard Funny how hyper-restrictive IT setups always choose the browsers with the most security holes.
15:37 sekjal oleonard: on my Win7 VM, I can get the browser to crash consistently when trying to view source on the cataloging page
15:37 sekjal it just stops responding, and never shows me the page source
15:37 conan koha doesn't allow staff from library X to check in an item loaned by library Y, so why does it allow renewals? Is that a feature or a bug?
15:37 oleonard sekjal: You know the old saying... Don't do that ;)
15:38 sekjal oleonard: the partner I'm working on this for gets it to freeze when just doing the normal cataloging procedure
15:39 * oleonard confirms that viewing source crashes IE8
15:39 sekjal why would that happen?
15:40 sekjal doesn't do it on every page... so it must be related to the contents of that specific page....
15:40 * sekjal does some research
15:42 huginn` New commit(s) needsignoff: [Bug 6353] Erroneous prefixes before the singleBranchMode preference <http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6353>
15:42 oleonard sekjal: But you can't get IE8 to crash just from editing records?
15:42 sekjal oleonard: no, not yet
15:42 vfernandes thanks conan
15:42 sekjal found out how to fix the view source issue
15:42 sekjal http://www.seangw.com/wordpress/index.php/2009/06/how-you-can-fix-ie8s-slow-view-source/
15:44 oleonard Ha! IE8 crashes when viewing source because IE8's view source editor sucks.
15:44 sekjal hmmm, trying to add a test title... and nothing happens when I click "Save"
15:45 oleonard The combination of IE8's slow javascript engine and Koha's slow javascript on the addbiblio page would make me want to hang myself.
15:46 wizzyrea why not go to 9?
15:46 conan vfernandes: no problem, anyway I'm pretty new here, so you might check later with someone else. This is the library I was talking: http://search.cpan.org/~gmcharlt/MARC-Record-2.0.3/
15:46 wizzyrea IT dept politics?
15:46 oleonard sekjal: It looked like it had crashed, but after waiting and waiting it finally saved correctly.
15:46 conan vfernandes: I did some bulkimporting with that some days ago
15:47 sekjal oleonard: so it does... it just pauses and then finally moves
15:47 sekjal very strange
15:47 sekjal surely something with the JS
15:47 conan oleonard: do you know why I can't find calls to C4::Circulation::AddRenewal and AddReturn in circ/circulation.pl ? How do the books get returned then?
15:48 oleonard sekjal: For me it took one full minute from the time I clicked the save button to the time the form submitted. And that's running IE8 on Win7, not in a VM.
15:49 gmcharlt conan: circ/returns.pl handles returns
15:51 gmcharlt conan: and reserve/addrenewal.pl handles renewals
15:51 conan gmcharlt: ahhhh, great!
15:51 conan wait, reserve?
15:53 conan gmcharlt: no reserve/addrenewal.pl :(
15:53 conan could it be reserve/renewscript.pl ?
15:55 conan found it, was <form action="/cgi-bin/koha/reserve/renewscript.pl" method="post" class="checkboxed">
15:55 conan that
15:55 conan gmcharlt: thx
15:56 gmcharlt conan: gah, sorry - too many things going on; you did find the reserve/ script I was talking about
15:59 conan gmcharlt: I was confused because page show me I was in circulation.pl, but as always, the source is with me ;)
16:00 conan if it's not too much abusing: how can I get the branchname for the current staff logged in? I need to do something like this:
16:00 conan if($staff_branch ne $item_branch) { # can't renew ... }
16:03 gmcharlt conan: C4::Context->userenv->{'branch'} has the staff user's branch
16:06 sekjal conan: is $item_branch going to consult HomeOrHoldingBranch or HomeOrHoldingBranchReturn, or always be either home or holding?
16:07 conan sekjal: still don't know, I'm looking for it
16:08 sekjal conan: fair enough
16:08 conan the idea is that staff from library X can't do anything with items from library Y
16:08 sekjal does "from" mean 'owned by', or 'last checked out from'?
16:08 conan I was thinking about finding which library item belongs and compare that to what gmcharlt gave me
16:08 conan sekjal: yes, owned
16:09 conan sekjal: no, we don't allow check outs of items from another library
16:09 conan each library has it's own items and it manages them exclusively, however we *do* share users

16:31 wizzyrea I had not ever fully appreciated the flexibility of Koha's framework system
16:31 wizzyrea it's awesome!
16:32 oleonard What prompted this?
16:32 sekjal wizzyrea: I know, right? brilliantly done
16:33 wizzyrea well, I suddenly realized that those labels on the items table
16:33 wizzyrea can be whatever you want
16:33 wizzyrea and it still conforms to MARC
16:33 wizzyrea i'm also wondering if
16:33 wizzyrea (because I haven't tried it
16:42 * oleonard pictures whatever wizzyrea tried as having knocked her unconscious
16:42 wizzyrea lol :)
16:42 wizzyrea sorry phone
16:42 oleonard It would have made quite a bug report
16:43 wizzyrea "koha knocked me out when I ..."
16:43 wizzyrea I was wondering if hiding the fields in the framework would hide them in the item table
16:43 wizzyrea but I don't think that's how it works
16:43 wizzyrea or if it does work that way
16:43 wizzyrea it might work too well
16:44 cait for edit items it works
16:44 cait you can use the ignore tab
16:44 cait but it works in no other place
16:44 cait ah, not true
16:44 cait the marc view probably works too
16:45 cait at least it's using the descriptions there
16:46 wizzyrea mm no, you can't hide, say 952$2, and have it not show up in edititems
16:46 wizzyrea sorry, more specifically, "ignore" does nothing there
16:47 hdl1 good night

16:49 cait ok
16:49 cait talking about the table above the form or about the fields on edit items?
16:49 wizzyrea the table
16:49 wahanui the table is showing for me
16:49 cait hm
16:49 wizzyrea forget the table
16:49 wahanui wizzyrea: I forgot table
16:49 wizzyrea the table is <reply>
16:49 cait it used to work, but not using the hidden value but tab ignore
16:49 cait instead of tab 10
16:50 wizzyrea hmm
16:50 wizzyrea i wonder if I'm setting it on the wrong framework
16:50 * wizzyrea checks again
16:51 wizzyrea oh it does work!

19:54 wizzyrea which drop down
19:54 NCARMichael It's not a "Saved Report" so I'm not sure how to edit it.
19:54 oleonard NCARMichael: You have to edit the perl scripts that make it go
19:54 NCARMichael The "Order by" dropdown
19:55 wizzyrea probably just as easy to recreate it as a saved report
19:55 NCARMichael ah, okay.
19:56 NCARMichael But how to access the Perl so as to copy paste into a new (editable) report?

20:28 NCARMichael hear me out, it's not about creating a report
20:28 wizzyrea no no, I was just getting the link for myself :P
20:28 wizzyrea fastest way I know :P
20:28 NCARMichael ah, ok. sry
20:28 NCARMichael anyway, i have a huge list here. 587 items overdue.
20:29 NCARMichael duedates ranging from 1/4/1993 to today
20:30 NCARMichael i've set up my overdue notices today and they're good to go. but..
20:30 NCARMichael what i'd like to do is somehow send out ONE email to each of these patrons with overdue items.
20:31 NCARMichael but a subset: items with duedate <= 3/17/2011
20:31 NCARMichael Likely Galen will hafta do this for me...
20:32 NCARMichael Shall I just send him an email about it, ya think?
20:32 wizzyrea what were you wanting to do with the subset?
20:33 gmcharlt NCARMichael: sure
20:33 NCARMichael oh hi galen.
20:34 NCARMichael i'll send u an email about it.
20:34 NCARMichael (i want to send an overdue notice to all on the subset)
20:35 gmcharlt understood
20:35 gmcharlt (and good luck with the 1993 bunch ;) )
20:36 NCARMichael yeah, people treat our library as their personal library. actually, i'm grateful that they
20:36 NCARMichael bothered to check the items out in the first place. many don't.
20:37 SteveJ 1993? Yikes. We only have items checked out back to 99.
20:38 gmcharlt ah, the professor's-offices-are-branch-libraries problem?
20:41 NCARMichael indeed
20:42 SteveJ I would call ours the "VP-and-Director's-offices-are-branch-libraries" problem.
20:42 rangi :)
20:43 SteveJ Although one of our vp's has more books in his office than all but one of our libraries (several thousand).
