00:02 * rangi        tries a more intensive one
00:06 rangi          a badly constructed query http://opac.koha.workbuffer.org/cgi-bin/koha/svc/report?id=7  takes 29.17s
00:06 rangi          382ms
00:06 rangi          from cache
00:06 rangi          that'll do :)
00:53 * druthb       is home at last.
00:56 rangi          yay!
00:56 rangi          long long trip back eh?
00:56 druthb         about thirty hours-ish.
00:57 rangi          thats not a huge amount of fun
00:57 druthb         nope nope nope.
00:57 druthb         one great big hop in a ginormous 777, then two hops in puddle-jumpers.
00:58 druthb         (then an hour drive.)
00:58 rangi          777 is quite a nice plane, i like them a lot more than the 747
00:59 druthb         nice ride, definitely.
00:59 rangi          i still want to fly in one of those insanely big aribuses
01:00 rangi          the 320s are ok
01:00 rangi          but i want to try a 380

01:06 needhelp       hello
01:06 wahanui        niihau, needhelp
01:06 needhelp       hello everyboddy
01:06 needhelp       as my nick says, i need help =) there is someone to give it to me?
01:07 eythian        wahanui: help
01:07 needcake       we wont know until we hear your question
01:07 eythian        wahanui: need help
01:07 wahanui        eythian: huh?
01:07 needhelp       i am trying to migrate data from INmagic to Koha
01:07 eythian        wahanui: \i need help is <reply>Just ask.
01:07 wahanui        OK, eythian.
01:07 eythian        wahanui: \I need help is <reply>Just ask.
01:07 wahanui        i already had it that way, eythian.
01:07 needhelp       does koha provide a way to help migration?
01:08 rangi          yep, it can import bibliographic data from MARC files, and borrowers from .csv
01:09 rangi          what it cant do, is get your data out of whatever system into those formats
01:10 needhelp       and what about clients information?
01:10 needhelp       can it be imported to koha in an easy way_?
01:10 eythian        that's borrowers
01:10 needhelp       ohh, sorry, english is not always my best field...
01:11 needhelp       so you say i can export everything from Inmagic and get it imported in koha?
01:13 jwagner        With some work, yes. You'll need to make sure your Koha system has matching policies for your branchcodes, item types, patron categories, etc., and format your item and patron data in the way Koha expects.
01:15 jwagner        See this section of the online manual: http://manual.koha-community.org/3.6/en/implementation.html#imp-migration
01:15 needhelp       and what about the history? the transactions made, the reservations, etc?
01:15 eythian        it's all possible, but not quite so easy
01:16 eythian        I use scripts that poke those things directly into the database
01:16 jwagner        Also see this for formatting item data, which Koha expects in a 952 field: http://manual.koha-community.org/3.6/en/catguides.html#itemcatguide
01:16 needhelp       ok
01:17 needhelp       so you say i have to undertand the database structure of koha and insert the data right into it?
01:17 eythian        for some things, yeah. Things that it's less common to want to import (e.g. circ history)
01:17 jwagner        yes, for anything outside bibs/items and patrons
01:18 eythian        conveniently, they're pretty much the easier things, too,.
01:18 rangi          schema?
01:18 wahanui        rumour has it schema is tracked in git. or found at http://schema.koha-community.org
01:18 wizzyrea       ^^ so helpful
01:18 wizzyrea       eythian++  for a tool I use every day
01:20 wizzyrea       http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/boingboing/iBag/~3/ilWa7vEQxqs/library-builds-a-hackerspace.html
01:21 wizzyrea       libraries with hackerspaces!
01:21 rangi          needhelp: what version of koha are you installing 3.6.0 ?
01:21 needhelp       i have been watching the koha schema, there is a "koha" database and a "library" one.... what's the difference?
01:22 rangi          ?
01:22 rangi          http://schema.koha-community.org/  are you looking here?
01:22 rangi          there is only a koha one
01:23 needhelp       i am using the 3.4.3 verison
01:23 rangi          right, there should only be a koha database
01:23 rangi          i dont know where the library one came from
01:23 wizzyrea       packages?
01:23 wahanui        package info is at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_3.4_on_Debian_Squeeze
01:23 rangi          but koha only uses one database (could be called anything, usually called koha)
01:24 rangi          the packages dont make an extra db, at leats not as far as i know
01:24 needhelp       ok... i am just watching in the phpmyadmin
01:24 rangi          that might be some other database someone/something else made
01:25 needhelp       ohhh, the thing is a i havent installed koha, it is a live cd gsdl-koha
01:25 needhelp       that the reason of the library database for sure.
01:25 wizzyrea       well, my one started from the packages has a koha and a koha-lecompton
01:26 wizzyrea       and I am pretty sure I didn't create the koha db
01:26 wizzyrea       myself
01:26 needhelp       okis.... so koha is the one..
01:26 needhelp       great
01:26 rangi          that library one will be greenstone needhelp
01:26 rangi          wizzyrea: i only have the one
01:26 needhelp       yes
01:26 wizzyrea       well weird... wonder what black magic I did then ^.^
01:27 rangi          well i actually have 8
01:27 rangi          but they are all koha-something
01:27 needhelp       let me tell those i have...
01:28 eythian        wizzyrea: the packages only create one db per instance
01:28 wizzyrea       does it create a default instance?
01:29 needhelp       i have: dbwiz-resources , koha and library
01:29 eythian        no, though the koha package _might_, it's been a while since I've looked at it.
01:29 eythian        (as opposed to koha-common)
01:29 needhelp       that's how it comes from the live cd..
01:30 wizzyrea       eythian: I bet I did apt-get install koha
01:30 rangi          yeah, so koha is the only one to do with koha
01:30 wizzyrea       instead of koha-common
01:30 wizzyrea       (this was several weeks ago)
01:30 wizzyrea       that has to be it.
01:30 needhelp       ok, KOHA has 130 talbes???
01:30 needhelp       man, i will lose my summer on it...
01:31 needhelp       *tables
01:33 needhelp       i will keep looking at koha features..... if i need help again (for sure i will!!!) i will come here...
01:33 needhelp       you have been all so kind!!
01:33 needhelp       thank you
01:42 rangi          wonder how this went
01:43 rangi          http://www.kohala.nl/workshop.html
02:16 rangi          damn
02:16 rangi          i still cant remember who i was gonna write up
02:16 wizzyrea       the spanish manual translators?
02:17 rangi          oh yeah
02:17 rangi          good idea!
02:20 rangi          ill do
02:20 rangi          http://es.koha-community.org/
02:21 trea           i need to delete some branches from an install - i've already confirmed they have no issues or holds. can i get a sanity check on these statements? http://pastebin.com/bpfKPMER
02:23 rangi          looking now
02:24 rangi          that should be ok, the only other plce itemnumber is sometime used
02:24 rangi          is
02:24 rangi          accountlines
02:24 rangi          what i would do first
02:24 rangi          is do
02:24 rangi          select * from borrowers where branchcode='xxx' into outfile '/tmp/deletedborrowers';
02:25 rangi          then put that file somewhere safe
02:25 rangi          do the same with the items
02:25 rangi          then, you at least have all the data if they go
02:25 rangi          oh crap, we didnt mean it ;)
02:25 * rangi        is paranoid
02:25 trea           you and me both rangi
02:25 * wizzyrea     has had people do that
02:25 * rangi        too
02:25 trea           but they tell me paranoia is a virtue. along with laziness.
02:26 rangi          and being able to make great pizza
02:26 wizzyrea       and hummus
02:26 rangi          and throwing out random stupidity
02:26 wizzyrea       but you know the secret to great hummus?
02:26 rangi          garlic?
02:26 wizzyrea       skin the chickpeas!
02:27 wizzyrea       all the garlic in the world won't get rid of the grainy texture of the chickpea hulls
02:27 trea           ^^
02:27 * wizzyrea     shares random food knowledge. Wanders off.
02:28 rangi          hehe
02:35 talljoy        how do you skin chickpeas?
02:35 * talljoy      thinks....
02:36 rangi          you need small children
02:36 rangi          with their tiny hands
02:36 rangi          and a whip
02:36 rangi          or you probably soak them and the skins come off
02:36 rangi          take your pick ;)
02:37 trea           eh
02:37 trea           heh*
02:38 trea           do i need to be the root db user to dump that info? i'm getting acccess denied as the koha user
02:39 rangi          ah yeah, to write to the file system, yup
02:39 trea           k, that's what i figured
02:43 talljoy        my small children have morphed into giants overnight.
02:44 * talljoy      thinks it must be the Texas water
02:44 rangi          no peeled chickpeas for you then
02:44 talljoy        :-(
02:50 rangi          http://cooking.stackexchange.com/questions/6106/how-do-you-peel-chickpeas
02:50 rangi          stackexchange is great
02:51 talljoy        good tips.  next time i'm in the mood for hummus....i'll just buy some
02:51 rangi          hehe
02:51 trea           where's the fun in that? :P
02:51 talljoy        actually, this probably explains why my homemade hummus was never satisfying
02:51 talljoy        i may try this.  chickpeas are cheap as dirt
02:52 rangi          speaking of hummus
02:52 rangi          i meant to tell nate i ate at abrakebabra twice last week
02:53 trea           lucky!
02:53 trea           i love that place
02:53 trea           i would eat there everyday if i could
02:53 rangi          hehe, nate did
02:53 talljoy        never heard of it
02:53 trea           kebab shop in welly
02:53 talljoy        ah.
02:54 talljoy        chur
02:54 rangi          hehe
02:54 talljoy        :-D
02:55 trea           :D
02:55 trea           i did get to eat some really great pho for lunch today tho
02:55 rangi          http://thisisphotobomb.memebase.com/2011/11/09/photobomb-that-guy-someones-having-a-nice-trip/
02:55 talljoy        i love pho
02:55 talljoy        hahahahaha
02:55 talljoy        i had a great thai green curry
02:57 rangi          mm green curry is good too
02:57 rangi          i think might make that for dinner
02:58 talljoy        yum
02:58 talljoy        i could eat thai morning, lunch, dinner
02:59 trea           there's a place in town that makes a tempeh phad thai that is awesome. we have a surprising number of decent thai restaraunts for kansas.
02:59 talljoy        would of thunk it
02:59 rangi          @later tell paul_p the main developer for piwik lives in wellington now (but is french) im all for piwik, its very cool
02:59 huginn         rangi: The operation succeeded.
02:59 rangi          ohhh thai
02:59 rangi          oh hey trea
02:59 rangi          did i show you the kansas bbq one they have here?
03:00 trea           liz did. crazy!
03:00 rangi          http://www.unclemikesbbq.co.nz/
03:00 rangi          havent tried it yet
03:00 rangi          its on my todo list
03:00 trea           was my next question
03:01 trea           you would think it would be difficult to get hickory for smoking past biosecurity
03:01 rangi          im hoping the decor is as tacky as the website
03:01 trea           lol
03:01 trea           hope springs eternal
03:02 trea           unless they grow it natively
03:03 rangi          yeah true
03:08 wizzyrea       uh, I use the canned chickpeas
03:08 wizzyrea       and you just kinda slip the skins off
03:08 wizzyrea       it's like knitting, put on a show, skin some chickpeas
03:09 rangi          :)
03:10 wizzyrea       i imagine, with the penchant for english trees, that hickory is probably grown somewhere in NZ in some fashion
03:10 rangi          i bet you are right
03:14 * jcamins_away sends rangi some cake.
03:14 jcamins_away   Or, well, skinned chickpeas.
03:15 jcamins_away   But it's almost like cake.
03:15 rangi          :)

04:22 rangi          it sounded like a good conference
04:23 savitra        it was..learnt a few things..but for me and Amit it was important to meet and get to know people
04:24 rangi          *nod*
04:24 rangi          the people are always the most important bit
04:24 savitra        we had a good chat with Robin on Open Library..
04:24 rangi          excellent
04:24 savitra        and we have sent some improvements to your original open libray patch..
04:26 rangi          I think slef was looking at them
04:27 savitra        yes and the openlibrary developers are here in bangalore, we can get them over to our offices at any time to collaborate..
04:27 savitra        we were hoping to meet you at the conference, but next time I guess..
04:29 eythian        http://i.imgur.com/TgQsN.png

04:36 talljoy        woot.  another Texas Bywaterian.
04:37 rangi          ahh I feel less bad for not remembering then
04:37 rangi          :)
04:37 edveal         :)
04:38 edveal         I was a nobody at the time. I was trying to convince my SirsiDynix library to make the move to Koha but was unsuccessful.

05:18 wahanui        i guess migration is hard or <reply>If only they were using Koha to start with...
05:18 eythian        helping out with something of an emergency
05:18 eythian        (not koha related)
05:19 cait           oh
05:19 cait           hope it will be ok then
05:19 eythian        It's mostly terrible time constraints on a project using a toolkit that I'm the only person here who's ever used it before. And that was two+ years ago.
05:20 francharb      morning #koha
05:20 eythian        that was a terrible sentence, also.
05:20 cait           I still understood it :)
05:20 cait           morning francharb :)
05:22 eythian        hi francharb
05:24 Amit_Gupta     heya Robin
05:25 eythian        howdy
05:25 cait           hi Amit_Gupta :)
05:25 Amit_Gupta     heya cait
06:26 rangi          hmm is dpavlin_away really away?
06:27 eythian        probably, it's something like 8.30 there and he's not much of a morning person :)
06:28 rangi          :)
06:52 magnuse        kia ora #koha
06:53 rangi          heya magnuse :)
06:53 cait           morning magnuse :)
06:53 magnuse        hiya rangi and cait and everyone
07:23 * mtj_goa      waves from goa
07:23 mtj_goa        morning all
07:23 * magnuse      waves back
07:23 cait           oh
07:23 cait           mtj in goa :)
07:23 * cait         waves too
07:24 magnuse        staying long in india, mtj_goa?
07:24 mtj_goa        heya cait :)
07:25 mtj_goa        fly back on the 16th
07:25 rangi          hey mtj_goa and dpavlin
07:26 alex_away      hi
07:27 dpavlin        How would you push biblio and/or item data into Koha from external digital archive?
07:27 rangi          hi alex_away
07:27 dpavlin        I'm interested into first-time import as well as potential update since master data is in archive
07:27 rangi          dpavlin: with the stage marc import?
07:27 magnuse        cait is doing something like that i think
07:27 rangi          and www::mechanize
07:27 cait           yep
07:28 cait           we are using the scripts for staged marc import
07:28 cait           but my coworker wrote the program to automate it - not sure how it works exactly
07:28 magnuse        but from a script, not from the web ui, right?
07:29 dpavlin        Something without user interaction and with some kind on non-chaning API would be perfect.
07:29 mtj_goa        and hi magnus and dobrica too
07:29 rangi          yeah, you could script it www::mechanize
07:29 rangi          or just use bulkmarcimport from the cli
07:29 dpavlin        We are using marc bulk import from our eprints currently, but I'm going to meeting where remote side will be Java application :-(
07:30 rangi          hmm
07:30 magnuse        will the data be in marc?
07:30 dpavlin        No. But we can define fixed mapping to MARC for Koha (on Koha's side if at all possible ;-)
07:31 rangi          morning paul_p
07:31 dpavlin        I could wrap some HTTP/JSON to MARC API, but I'm wondering does something similar allready exists.
07:32 rangi          not in koha
07:32 rangi          we have plenty of ways to get data out
07:32 rangi          but only a couple to get it in
07:32 rangi          bulkmarcimport.pl
07:32 rangi          and then the staged marc import in the staff interface
07:33 dpavlin        rangi: Yap, but users don't enter data in Koha but in digital archive.
07:34 rangi          yep
07:34 dpavlin        I'm also thinking about puting Gearman in the middle and hang Koha import worker on one side and Java worker on another
07:34 rangi          im just saying those are the 2 interfaces for putting data in
07:34 rangi          so if they dont work, youd have to construct another one
07:35 rangi          take a look in svc/
07:35 rangi          there is the start of a restful api for doing that kinda thing
07:35 dpavlin        rangi++ /svc/new_bib seems to be good start :-)
07:36 rangi          its how biblios.org was going to work with koha
07:39 cait           yes, using staged marc import from command line
07:39 cait           what we do
07:39 cait           reading backnow
07:41 dpavlin        It seems that MarcXML or Marc-JSON over HTTP might be easiest way (and somewhat userful for others) way to do it. However, since remote side isn't done by librarians I'm reluctant to move MARC structure and mapping to remote side.
07:41 reiveune       hello
07:41 cait           I think a restful api would be great
07:41 cait           for things like ILL too
07:41 cait           we have been talking about it, but no time to investigate
07:42 rangi          we svc/ mostly works
07:42 rangi          i think extending that will be of benefit to the project as a whole
07:43 dpavlin        rangi: me too. I will try to write up RFC for it on wiki after meeting to give it a few more eyeballs before I implement something.
07:44 rangi          yay
07:44 rangi          thank you
07:45 cait           dpavlin++ :)
07:46 cait           bbiab
07:59 rangi          hi sophie_m and Bren
07:59 sophie_m       hello rangi, hi #koha
07:59 Bren           Hello
08:00 rangi          oh and i missed saying hi to reiveune
08:00 reiveune       haha, hi rangi and everybody
08:12 * eythian      really should go home
08:13 rangi          yeah its getting pretty late
08:13 rangi          do they want you to go up north? i see norm is on his way up
08:16 eythian        they do, but I can't because I have to go to AU on Tuesday morning
08:16 rangi          right
08:17 eythian        I've been relearning all the java stuff I used to do, now I'm going to spend half an hour working on my presentation and then go home.
08:17 rangi          cool
08:19 julian_m       hi all
08:19 rangi          hi julian_m
08:20 kf             morning #koha
08:21 asaurat        good morning !
08:21 kf             hi asaurat :)
08:22 rangi          hi asaurat and kf
08:22 kf             morning rangi
08:23 asaurat        foo doo fa fa
08:23 kf             huh?
08:25 asaurat        that's how the NZ guys from "Flight of the Conchords" perceive the french language ;)
08:25 eythian        seems pretty accurate :)
08:25 asaurat        you can find a funny music video about it =)
08:25 rangi          :)
08:25 magnuse        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f11-ClTi3og
08:25 rangi          from wellington in fact
08:26 rangi          http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGOohBytKTU is still my fave
08:26 asaurat        hehe, sure, business time :D :D
08:27 asaurat        "the humans are dead" is pretty impressive too, with its binary solo ;)
08:27 rangi          did they ever show the tv series there?
08:28 magnuse        Flight of the Conchords is from nz?
08:28 rangi          yes
08:28 rangi          from wellington
08:28 rangi          http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2gii2nenUg
08:28 * magnuse      didn't know that
08:29 rangi          explains kiwis vs aussies :)
08:30 * kf           saves links for later when at hoem
08:30 magnuse        hehe, good one ;-)
08:30 * magnuse      is at home all the time...
08:30 asaurat        don't have any TV, but I don't think it was translated in French (hopefully), so we have to watch it online
08:33 asaurat        have to disconnect for a meeting
08:33 asaurat        foo doo fa fa !!
08:33 asaurat        jacques cousteau
08:33 magnuse        season 1 & 2 are on their way...
08:34 rangi          heh
08:34 rangi          their shows are good
08:34 rangi          but i still like their standup better
08:37 magnuse        i think they visited norway a year or two ago
08:38 rangi          could well have done
08:38 rangi          brett is also in a couple of bands, one of them being the wellington ukulele orchestra :)
08:39 magnuse        hehe
08:42 eythian        Wellington *international* ukulele orchestra :)
08:42 rangi          hehe
08:43 rangi          they are pretty good
08:43 magnuse        ooh, big difference that
08:43 rangi          but not a patch on the ukulele orchestra of great britain
08:44 eythian        a friend of mine accidentally ended up with one of their ukuleles, after it was delivered to his house by mistake.
08:44 rangi          http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KZjnFZvCNc
08:44 eythian        Fortunately, he was already a fan and saw when they posted on facebook that they were missing one
08:44 eythian        got a free ticket out of it I think
08:45 * eythian      -> home
08:45 rangi          :)
08:46 kf             have anice evening eythian
08:53 magnuse        no debian packages for 3.6.0 yet, right?
08:54 rangi          yep there are
08:54 rangi          http://debian.koha-community.org/koha/pool/main/k/koha/
08:54 magnuse        ah, cool!
08:58 magnuse        i have a swedish library (koha.sipri.org) asking when there will be packages of 3.6.0 - maybe they have to change something in /etc/apt/sources.list or thereabouts to get it?
08:58 rangi          hmm shouldnt
08:59 rangi          unless they were running the squeeze-dev ones
08:59 rangi          ie 3.5.x
08:59 magnuse        their opac says Koha 3.0405000 now
09:00 magnuse        if that is running off the packages, wouldn't 3.4.6 be the next logical step?
09:00 magnuse        (i'm not sure they have actually moved to the packages yet)
09:00 rangi          3.6.0 is the latest stable package
09:01 rangi          the problem is we now have 2 stables
09:01 magnuse        yup
09:01 rangi          when eythian has some time
09:01 rangi          HAH
09:01 magnuse        :-)
09:01 rangi          we'll sort it out, stable oldstable and dev or something
09:03 magnuse        sounds like a plan
09:04 magnuse        but they could download the 3.6.0 package from http://debian.koha-community.org/koha/pool/main/k/koha/ and just install it with dpkg, if they are in a hurry, right?
09:04 magnuse        i'll tell them might want to wait for 3.6.1 anyway...
09:04 rangi          yeah but easier to just add the source and do it properly
09:05 rangi          if they follow the instructions to install squeeze one, they will get 3.6.0
09:05 rangi          then will be able to upgrade to 3.6.1 easy
09:05 rangi          if they were already using packages
09:05 rangi          then apt-get update
09:05 rangi          apt-get upgrade will get them 3.6.0
09:06 magnuse        ah ok, if you say so :-)
09:06 rangi          yeah it will
09:06 * rangi        has done it on 2 sites
09:06 magnuse        i believe you! ;-)
09:06 rangi          as long as they ahve in their sources.list
09:07 rangi          deb http://debian.koha-community.org/koha squeeze main
09:07 rangi          if they dpkg it, it will not pull in the dependencies
09:07 magnuse        because squeeze = stable and latest stable = 3.6.0
09:07 rangi          yup
09:07 magnuse        ok, thanks
09:08 magnuse        that reminds me of another thing i meant to ask
09:08 magnuse        i want to host my customers on the packages
09:08 rangi          http://debian.koha-community.org/koha/dists/squeeze/main/binary-amd64/Packages
09:08 magnuse        and i want them to be as close to the official version as possible
09:08 rangi          cool
09:08 magnuse        but sometimes i will need to apply a patch before it gets into a package
09:09 rangi          yup
09:09 rangi          what you can do is
09:09 rangi          apply the patch
09:09 rangi          build the package
09:09 magnuse        is it feasible to mostly run off the official packages, but when needs arise apply a patch, build a package and run off that until the patch is in an official package?
09:10 magnuse        and then go back to running off the official packages?
09:10 rangi          name it 3.6.0-1~something
09:10 rangi          then when 3.6.1 comes along its newer
09:10 rangi          exactly
09:10 rangi          the easiest way to do it
09:10 rangi          is to run a apt repository urself
09:11 rangi          using reprepro
09:11 rangi          http://mirrorer.alioth.debian.org/
09:11 magnuse        i think i tried that, but gor confused by some of the debian lingo...
09:11 rangi          right
09:12 rangi          its actually not as hard as it seems
09:12 magnuse        ah, so i could set that up to mirror the official packages, and then sneak my custom packages in between the official ones?
09:12 rangi          exacterly
09:12 magnuse        very cool
09:12 rangi          and you clients have
09:13 rangi          deb.libriotech.no
09:13 rangi          in their sources.list
09:13 rangi          so you can push a new package up to your apt repo
09:13 magnuse        yeah (but i'll be doing the hosting on my servers, mostly, i hope)
09:13 rangi          and then apt-get update; apt-get upgrade
09:13 rangi          yourself
09:13 magnuse        yeah, i see
09:14 magnuse        i better take the time to get that repo set up!
09:14 rangi          :)
09:15 rangi          im going to see if we can get lars to give his tutorial on debian packaging and repos at the kohacon12 dev conference :)
09:15 rangi          it was very useful
09:15 rangi          i learnt a lot
09:15 magnuse        that would be awesome!

09:18 magnuse        rangi: thanks for your tips on the packages - that sorted out some things I have been wondering about!

09:26 rangi          hey druthb :)
09:26 druthb         hi, rangi!
09:48 * druthb       goes back to bed for a bit.
10:27 ropuch         Hello #koha
10:29 rangi          hi ropuch

10:35 Amit_Gupta     heya druthb
10:36 druthb         Hi, Amit_Gupta. :)
10:46 ropuch         Anybody knows what "gg." abreviation after publication year stands for? I saw that in some russian biblio description
10:51 fabio_t        Hi #koha
10:56 Amit_Gupta     heya ropuch, fabio_t
10:57 fabio_t        Hi Amit_Gupta
10:58 fabio_t        I have a problem with the MARC framework test in Koha 3.6 packages
10:59 fabio_t        the test complains about biblio.biblionumber and biblioitems.biblioitemnumber being not linked to MARC
11:00 fabio_t        while (if I go to the Koha-MARC links section) they are
11:00 fabio_t        correctly linked.
11:02 fabio_t        from the Koha-MARC links page, biblionumber is linked to 001 @
11:03 fabio_t        biblioitemnumber to 090 a
11:03 fabio_t        I can't rebuild Zebra because of it (I think so)
11:03 magnuse        @marc 090a
11:03 huginn         magnuse: unknown tag 090a
11:04 magnuse        @marc 090
11:04 huginn         magnuse: unknown tag 090
11:04 magnuse        hmf
11:06 fabio_t        so no record found by search
11:06 fabio_t        when I run koha-rebuild-zebra -f instanceName
11:07 fabio_t        I got...
11:08 fabio_t        a message similar to this: [warn] Record didn't contain match fields in (bib1,Local-number)
11:09 fabio_t        (I ran the command again two minutes ago but I'm still waiting the output...)
11:11 liw            rangi, you've got your work cut for you, getting me to give a Debian packaging tutorial... you'll need to tell me when the conference is!
11:11 fabio_t        I tried to edit Zebra's record.abs for UNIMARC (Italy) with no results
11:12 magnuse        liw: june, in edinburgh - the specific dates have not been set yet i think
11:13 fabio_t        changing "melm 001        Local-number,Local-number:n" to "melm 001$@        Local-number,Local-number:n"
11:14 fabio_t        and "melm 090$9      Local-number,Local-number:n" to "melm 090$a      Local-number,Local-number:n"
11:14 magnuse        hm, are you sure 001$@ is right?
11:16 fabio_t        hi magnuse
11:16 fabio_t        001$@ in Koha-MARC page or in record.abs?
11:17 magnuse        hiya fabio_t
11:17 magnuse        in record.abs
11:17 magnuse        i have never tried changing it myself, though...
11:18 fabio_t        (yep, output it's the same in my shell: 12:09:22-10/11 zebraidx(18798) [warn] Record didn't contain match fields in (bib1,Local-number)
11:19 fabio_t        I don't know magnuse, I matched it with Koha one
11:20 fabio_t        I'm wondering which is the current standard though
11:20 magnuse        i think record.abs needs melm 001
11:22 magnuse        001$@ is just a way of saying 001 is a controlfield that does not have subfields - it's just shorthand in the koha interface, i think
11:22 fabio_t        somewhere i read 090$c/$d (Koha lists), somewhere 090$9 (Zebra's record.abs), elsewhere 090$a (3.6 packaged's framework)
11:22 magnuse        you are using unimarc?
11:22 fabio_t        thank you for pointing this out!
11:23 fabio_t        i'm going to change it and restart Zebra, let's see
11:23 fabio_t        yes I do, UNIMARC installation and UNIMARC imported records
11:26 fabio_t        ok
11:26 magnuse        fingers crossed!
11:26 fabio_t        now I'm running koha-rebuild-zebra -f kohatest again
11:26 fabio_t        :)
11:27 magnuse        and this time it runs?
11:27 fabio_t        uh, by the way, records work fine in other installation (Koha 3.0)
11:28 fabio_t        it's still running
11:29 fabio_t        should it just take a few seconds?
11:29 magnuse        depends on the number of records
11:29 fabio_t        ok, it was a quite large import
11:30 fabio_t        30k records
11:32 fabio_t        no way.
11:32 fabio_t        I'm going to comment the 090 line
11:32 magnuse        yeah, that could take some time, depending on the machine it's running on
11:33 magnuse        shouldn't take too long, though
11:42 fabio_t        no, still failing...
11:42 fabio_t        thank you magnuse
11:42 fabio_t        I have to quit
11:42 fabio_t        see you

13:22 muddle         Hi there! I am currently facing a MySQL database corruption due to an unexpected server shutdown. It appears that the table "import_records" was corrupted and cannot be repaired.
13:23 muddle         Does the table "import_records" contain any important information or can I just truncate this table? Thank you!
13:25 oleonard       schema?
13:25 wahanui        rumour has it schema is tracked in git. or found at http://schema.koha-community.org
13:25 druthb         good morning, oleonard.
13:25 oleonard       muddle: It seems to be related to the history of records you've imported into Koha using the Stage MARC record tool
13:26 jwagner        If you do truncate it, you should check first for relationships to other tables, like import_batches and the other import_* tables
13:27 oleonard       Hence the schema link
13:27 jwagner        Correct
13:27 muddle         Ah, thanks for the pointers.
13:30 oleonard       Safely home now druthb?
13:31 druthb         yes, I'm back in TN, with the Minion.
13:38 oleonard       How did your Minion survive without your relentless oppressive orders giving her life meaning? :)
13:39 druthb         She did well...has started getting up earlier, and she did some chores and things around here.  I'm glad she had a place to stay while I was away, but we're ready to get back on the road, I think.
13:41 * magnus_afk   hums "on the road again"...
13:41 * druthb       grins at magnus.
13:41 magnus_afk     probably off key, though, sorry about that
13:42 druthb         s'ok.
13:42 druthb         Willie Nelson sings sharp, too.
13:42 magnus_afk     yay
13:42 magnus_afk     i'm like tone deaf...

14:07 tcohen         sopac vs. vufind?
14:07 jcamins        tcohen: very different use cases, I think.
14:07 magnuse        depends a little on what you want to do, i'd say
14:08 tcohen         i need to provide researchers a central place to look for material from libraries
14:10 tcohen         i've just heard about sopac2 fr the first time while reading the 3.6 manual to respond to koha@lists
14:10 jcamins        tcohen: my instinct is that you'd probably do better with vufind, but it really depends how your researchers would be using it.
14:11 tcohen         thanks jcamins
14:12 tcohen         i think i'll have to dig a little on this topic to decide
14:12 * jcamins      tosses JesseM some duct tape.

14:23 wahanui        you are probably rocking the sari.
14:23 druthb         lol
14:23 tcohen         exactly
14:36 magnuse        i forget... bugs should be reported against master or rel_3_8?
14:37 oleonard       I thought master
14:39 magnuse        i'll try that, and then paul_p can flay me alive if it's wrong ;-)
14:51 wizzyrea       good morning.
14:51 magnuse        kia ora wizzyrea
14:52 trea           o/
14:52 wizzyrea       just curious question of the day: how does koha compute popularity for the popularity sort?
14:53 magnuse        \o
14:53 magnuse        number of times something has been issued? just guessing...
14:54 wizzyrea       yea, idk either!
14:55 jcamins        It's supposed to be number of times something has been issued.
14:55 jcamins        I don't think it actually works.
14:58 wizzyrea       hm oki thanks
15:05 libsysguy      seen jcamins
15:05 wahanui        jcamins was last seen on #koha 10 minutes and 16 seconds ago, saying: I don't think it actually works. [Thu Nov 10 14:53:49 2011]
15:06 oleonard       Stop hiding, jcamins, no one can find you.
15:06 libsysguy      jcamins I just wanted to let you know that you were half right on the display bit from my overlaying question yesterday
15:06 libsysguy      i actually can never tell if jcamins is himself or away
15:07 libsysguy      i guess oleonard you might be interested too
15:07 libsysguy      if you want to use the z-index property you have to have the position property defined
15:13 rhcl           whereis coffee
15:14 libsysguy      $coffee->location();
15:14 rhcl           echo $LOCATION
15:14 libsysguy      Server Response: In Pot.
15:14 rhcl           find . -name Pot -print
15:14 jcamins        libsysguy: oh, position, not display.
15:14 jcamins        Well, I was close.
15:15 oleonard       Or in Drupal, $node->beverages['coffee']['location']['#value'];
15:15 jcamins        :)
15:15 libsysguy      true jcamins
15:15 libsysguy      is frustrated with drupal modules
15:15 libsysguy      i am **
15:15 oleonard       Sorry, bad example. It's not sufficiently nested inside multiple arrays.
15:15 libsysguy      exactly
15:19 rhcl           One thing about Drupal we've decided is that you almost have to host your own installation so you have enough control to install the modules you need.
15:19 Oak            home?
15:19 wahanui        home is fine
15:20 rhcl           most off-site hosted installations somehow don't have open enough permissions to let you install all they things you need.
15:21 libsysguy      I just meant when writing my own
15:21 rhcl           oak!
15:22 Oak            rhcl! at last we meet...
15:22 libsysguy      I want a feature module for blog posts but setting it up with the database queries and the blocks is a pain
15:22 rhcl           and there's not a module for that already out there?
15:22 oleonard       And Views won't do it?
15:25 Oak            what's the link of your Drupal site?
15:28 libsysguy      lib.uttyler.edu
15:28 libsysguy      well the one im working on
15:29 libsysguy      It is kind of custom

15:30 libsysguy      did that over the weekend
15:31 Oak            that clicky module under the horizontal nav. is it custom, or some module?
15:32 libsysguy      custom...thats what im trying to write into a module and give back

16:38 wizzyrea       neat.
16:40 fabio_t        I'm still stuck in the (UNI)MARC framework test error for Koha 3.6 packages... could anyone help?
16:45 fabio_t        I'm getting this error: biblio.biblionumber and biblioitems.biblioitemnumber not linked to MARC
16:46 fabio_t        but I've checked in the page Links between Koha and MARC and they seem to be properly linked.
16:49 fabio_t        I can't rebuild Zebra index too, koha-rebuild-zebra -f instanceName returns this warning: [warn] Record didn't contain match fields in (bib1,Local-number)
16:50 * wizzyrea     doesn't know unimarc, sorry :(
16:50 fabio_t        I tried editing Zebra UNIMARC's record.abs but with no luck
16:51 fabio_t        thanks anyway wizzyrea
16:52 wizzyrea       this is marc21, does your link look similar? with the proper tags/subfields of course: http://screencast.com/t/XO0eZnPwOnN
16:53 jcamins        fabio_t: I would suggest you start over with one of the UNIMARC frameworks that comes with Koha.
16:53 oleonard       the default sql for UNIMARC says biblionumber should be linked to 001 subfield @
16:53 wizzyrea       actually do what they said
16:54 wizzyrea       I bet you deleted the field where biblionumber is stored.
16:54 * jcamins_away is on his way out the door, but that's his suggestion.
16:54 wizzyrea       in your framework
16:58 fabio_t        ok thanks guys
16:58 fabio_t        I'm using Koha default UNIMARC framework
16:59 wizzyrea       have you deleted fields in it?
16:59 wizzyrea       s/in/from
16:59 fabio_t        no, I just run some koha-dump and koha-restore
17:00 fabio_t        beside that, no modification were made
17:01 fabio_t        * beyond that
17:01 jcamins_away   fabio_t: I'm really leaving now, but this sounds like a serious bug. Report it on bugs.koha-community.org?
17:04 fabio_t        ok. I guessed it.
17:04 fabio_t        I will report it.

19:20 cait           heya magnus_afk :)
19:20 magnus_afk     guten abend cait
19:22 trea           hey is there any way to back out of a failed marc stage? ie, if the file times out before the staging can complete
19:23 wizzyrea       how many records are we talkin about?
19:23 trea           quite a few. iirc the file timed out due to it's size.
19:23 wizzyrea       oh
19:24 rangi          hmm was it a timeout
19:24 rangi          or apache saying, thats too big
19:24 rangi          cos there is a max upload size
19:24 rangi          which is a setting in apache
19:24 trea           ok. good question. i don't have that info unfortunately. will have to ask them to clarify
19:25 wizzyrea       It didn't show up in "manage staged"
19:25 wizzyrea       ?
19:25 rangi          sometimes i wish i could respond to tickets with
19:25 rangi          whatchu talkin bout willis
19:26 wizzyrea       hehe
19:26 wizzyrea       the log might say what happened
19:32 libsysguy_afk  or you can just see if they inserted into the database
19:32 libsysguy      well
19:32 libsysguy      in the staging area
19:36 trea           yea, the file doesn't even appear in manage staged
19:37 trea           so i don't think it got that far
19:38 oleonard       New version of LEK, but no download link? How strange...
19:39 oleonard       One nice thing about the real Koha is you don't have to call someone to get it.
19:39 bg             s/real//
19:40 bg             heh s/the real//
19:40 oleonard       True bg, though some won't acknowledge it.
19:40 bg             :)
19:44 oleonard       How do we get a press release on Breeding's site?
19:44 rangi          i think just send it to him ?
19:44 bg             hmm..  NateC
19:45 rangi          i think his rule is, he just publishes it verbatim
19:45 oleonard       We should do it for every release
19:45 rangi          oh yeah, good idea
19:46 NateC          oleonard: Just go to the bottom of the front page on LTG and click on "notify him"
19:47 NateC          then you can paste the release in the box that pops up and he will get it on the site for you
19:47 rangi          we could do that for 3.4.6 ?
19:47 NateC          I don't see why not
19:48 NateC          It is a new release of Koha so yes
19:48 oleonard       any objections to me copy-and-pasting the 3.4.6 announcement and sending?
19:48 magnuse        oleonard++
19:49 wizzyrea       naw, go go :)
19:49 nengard        we just need to make sure he links it to the right Koha :)
19:49 wizzyrea       oh lord.
19:49 rangi          none from me
19:49 NateC          oleonard++
19:50 nengard        wizzyrea he links all press to specific companies/products
19:50 nengard        that's why i say that
19:50 rangi          we could ask chris_n and paul_p to do it as part of each release
19:50 rangi          yeah make it koha -- independent
19:50 rangi          if thats an option
19:50 rangi          or
19:50 oleonard       There's no option in the message form
19:50 wizzyrea       no i mean, oh lord, he *would* get it wrong.
19:50 rangi          koha -- your model doesnt work for open source sort it out
19:51 wizzyrea       hehe
19:51 cait           we could do it for 3.6 perhaps too?
19:51 rangi          yep
19:51 cait           gna
19:51 cait           scrolling broken again
19:52 chris_n        +1 from me
19:52 oleonard       Sent
19:52 magnuse        yay
19:54 oleonard       All those contributors' names are a huge win over any LEK press release
19:54 cait           :)
19:55 cait           so right
19:56 bg             totally true oleonard
20:04 rangi          its up
20:04 rangi          who knew
20:05 oleonard       And well-enough sourced as "koha-community.org"
20:05 rangi          http://www.librarytechnology.org/bib-processquery.pl?code=&code=BIB&Company=koha-community.org&sort=chron
20:05 rangi          yup
20:05 rangi          apparently we did do 3.4.0
20:05 oleonard       Shame none of the hyperlinks work
20:06 rangi          we should do 3.6.0 too eh?
20:06 wizzyrea       nod
20:06 rangi          by we i mean someone not me
20:06 rangi          cos im lazy
20:06 rangi          ;)

20:08 slef           Anyone got strong feelings about if I try using a crowdsourcing platform to collect kohacon12 sponsorships?
20:08 rangi          i do
20:08 rangi          i think its a great idea
20:09 magnuse        slef++
20:09 slef           Any recommendations?
20:09 slef           kickstarter and indiegogo seem to be the two most talked-about, but I've not started reviewing any yet (we're finalising venues first)
20:10 rangi          i know that bengard has used kickstarter successfully in the past
20:10 rangi          thats right eh nengard ?
20:10 cait           slef++
20:10 cait           :)
20:11 nengard        yes
20:11 nengard        bengard likes kickstarter and uses it for his games
20:11 nengard        but it uses amazon payments so you have to give amazon you account info
20:12 slef           oh poo
20:12 nengard        not sure how you feel about that
20:12 slef           it's also US residents only
20:12 nengard        figured you'd say that
20:12 nengard        oh
20:12 nengard        well that won't work
20:12 slef           nah, we fail before we get to that
20:12 slef           :)
20:12 oleonard       Submitting the 3.6 announcement if no one else has beat me to it
20:12 wizzyrea       gogo gadget oleonard
20:12 nengard        slef do we have dates yet?
20:12 nengard        need to get it on the calendar
20:13 rangi          ive never heard of indiegogo
20:13 cait           oleonard++
20:13 cait           yeah dates! :) at the moment I blocked june totally
20:13 cait           just to make sure :)
20:13 nengard        heh
20:13 nengard        i can't do that - i have to train libraries in june
20:13 slef           nengard: nearly, sorry! I'm pretty sure it'll be somewhere in the window 1-12 June.
20:13 nengard        got to put them around kohacon
20:14 nengard        k
20:14 nengard        that's better than then entire month :)
20:14 magnuse        https://twitter.com/#!/mbreeding/statuses/134723763253149696
20:14 slef           Yeah, I just narrowed it because I feel bad about cait blocking the whole month.
20:14 slef           We 99% won't clash with ALA
20:14 nengard        woo hoo!
20:14 slef           which I think is 22-end June?
20:14 nengard        oleonard++
20:14 rangi          woot
20:15 slef           HASHBANGS MUST DIE! :)
20:15 oleonard       It's like an automatic tweet machine
20:15 nengard        hashbangs?
20:15 slef           #!
20:15 nengard        oh! in the URL
20:15 nengard        okay
20:15 nengard        didn't know what we were talking about
20:15 chris_n        so much for formatting
20:15 slef           it's URL breakage by javascript
20:16 slef           indiegogo looks possible
20:17 cait           hm
20:17 slef           I mean, we could just use the co-op's current card and bank transfer processing, which would be cheaper, but lacks transparency.
20:17 cait           perhaps we should do a feature write up sometime
20:17 cait           like the nice release notes nicole did
20:17 cait           nengard++ :)
20:17 cait           going to do something like that for our libraries too
20:17 slef           I also quite like the idea of pulling in new contributors
20:20 cait           nengard: around?
20:20 cait           I have a suggestion omnibus bug
20:20 cait           you might want to look at
20:20 cait           suggestion mailing is very broken :(
20:20 nengard        bleh
20:20 slef           Oh, the other questions are: would people like to group-book accommodation in exchange for a discount? And would anyone be interested in a road trip maybe London-Birmingham-Manchester-The Lake District-Edinburgh if I could pull it together?
20:20 nengard        i did see a bunch of the suggestion email bugs
20:20 nengard        but didn't see the one i reported
20:20 nengard        what's the number on that?
20:21 nengard        slef we have friends down near manchester :)
20:21 nengard        would love to go there - plan on doing it anyway
20:22 magnuse        slef: discount++ but on the other hand i was very happy with staying at a b&b in wellington - that might be less feasible in edinburg, maybe, though? roadtrip++

20:24 slef           oleonard: I'd fly into wherever is direct and then travel by land, personally.
20:24 * magnuse      could fly to london, but there also cheap flights from oslo to edinburgh
20:24 nengard        trains are easy peasy
20:24 nengard        US to UK in June is never cheap
20:24 nengard        but I'll look for the best deal
20:24 * magnuse      did 2 weeks of interrail in scotland in '92
20:25 cait           think it should be ok from here
20:25 cait           my flight to london was cheap... only delayed!
20:25 * nengard      did rail all over the UK for a year in college
20:25 cait           did a road trip some years ago with friends?
20:25 nengard        actually i think bengard's parents drove us to ediburgh when they visited
20:25 cait           slef: not sore about group booking
20:25 cait           sure
20:25 cait           ...
20:26 cait           can't type
20:26 slef           just remember, if you book train tickets, I think you need to pick "print at the station" or whatever it is, because most of them won't post overseas. I prefer http://www.redspottedhanky.com/ and http://www.southernrailway.com/ - the second has a "Rainy Day Guarantee" where they will refund you if you can't make it, as long as you haven't printed the tickets.
20:27 * magnuse      is so looking forward to kohacon12
20:28 slef           oh and we have three types of ticket: Anytime which is the basic but most expensive, Off-Peak which can be used any time except commuter trains and Advance which must be prebooked to particular trains but is lots cheaper.
20:28 slef           and some birmingham-edinburgh trains are like £3.50 on http://www.megabus.com/uk/
20:28 slef           I'll wiki this eventually :)
20:28 magnuse        slef++
20:29 rangi          catalyst-eu is in brighton
20:29 rangi          so ill be doing a side trip there at some point
20:29 cait           slef++ :)
20:29 rangi          but ill probably fly into heathrow
20:29 cait           but perhaps repeat some of that... when the dates are set
20:30 rangi          wlg->akl->singapore->heathrow
20:30 rangi          if i can
20:30 cait           be careful...
20:30 cait           they like loosing suitcases
20:30 rangi          hehe
20:31 nengard        yikes
20:31 * magnuse      did akl->singapore->heathrow a year ago, i think - no problems
20:31 rangi          :)
20:31 rangi          its a nice way to do it
20:31 rangi          singapore has a great airport
20:31 rangi          i figure there must be trains from heathrow to edinburgh
20:32 magnuse        only problem was the last two hours into london were terribly long :-)
20:32 * oleonard     is getting a little too bouncy thinking about this stuff, better tune out
20:32 rangi          hehe
20:33 slef           rangi: http://traintimes.org.uk/heathrow/brighton/13:00 says it's about 2h
20:33 nengard        ewr to manchester looks cheapest for me
20:33 slef           rangi: and: "trains from heathrow to edinburgh" heh. No. Not yet. 2020 maybe.
20:33 rangi          yay
20:34 slef           rangi: train or tube from heathrow to London, then train to edinburgh.
20:34 rangi          seems
20:34 rangi          yeah
20:34 rangi          to euston
20:34 slef           only place that has trains from Heathrow is London Paddington (the station for the West)
20:34 rangi          then to carstairs
20:35 slef           Trains to Edinburgh go from King's Cross
20:35 slef           (the station for the North-East)
20:35 rangi          yep
20:35 rangi          you can do it that way too
20:35 rangi          http://traintimes.org.uk/heathrow/edinburgh/20:45/today
20:35 rangi          handy site
20:35 slef           rangi: oh, the sleeper runs from Euston
20:35 rangi          ohhh
20:35 rangi          that would work
20:36 slef           05:46 – 11:25   is the first "normal" routed train
20:36 slef           traintimes is a handy fan site
20:37 rangi          yeah
20:37 slef           it's what the train companies *should* have made
20:37 rangi          *nod*

20:39 cait           not june?
20:39 cait           although june is still a lot better than next november!
20:40 rhcl           hey slef, I hear you have salmon fishing in Scotland
20:40 slef           rhcl: I'm English ;-) but I hear they do too
20:41 slef           ok anyone wanting a sneak preview of the venue, please /join #kohacon
20:41 rhcl           OK, Great Britain then?
20:42 slef           rhcl: I saw your earlier comments. I don't know anything about it, but I think mle may look into it once we've got the venue straightened.

21:06 jcamins_away   Ooh, do we know the dates for KohaCon 2012?
21:06 wizzyrea       jcamins_away: shh
21:06 wizzyrea       sometime in june.
21:06 jcamins_away   wizzyrea: people are booking train tickets without knowing dates?
21:07 wizzyrea       no, people are exploring possibilities without knowing dates. ;)
21:08 cait           people get very excited
21:08 cait           :)
21:08 jcamins_away   Ah.

21:09 cait           jcamins_away: planning to go?
21:09 jcamins_away   cait: if I can.
21:10 cait           oh, I hope you can!

21:10 cait           and bring cookies?
21:10 cait           hehe
21:11 * oleonard     wonders if he can hire Supernanny to take care of the kids
21:13 jcamins_away   cait: could be. :)
21:13 * wizzyrea     wonders if she could hitch on to that train
21:14 wizzyrea       i bet it would blow spud's mind to know there's a smaller kid with the same name as his dad ^.^
21:14 wizzyrea       well, a kid more his size, if not slightly older :P
21:24 ebegin         Is there any direct download link for .po files ?
21:24 ebegin         On pootle, there is a Download link but it points to http://translate.koha-community.org/fr_CA/36/fr-CA-i-staff-t-prog-v-3006000.po/download/
21:24 ebegin         Clicking on it shows the file (location: http://translate.koha-community.org/export/36/fr_CA/fr-CA-i-staff-t-prog-v-3006000.po)
21:26 cait           I use thoselinks for download
21:26 cait           with wget... most of the time
21:26 cait           the link is a bit confusing
21:26 cait           if oyu do from the browser saving the page will work
21:27 cait           and i think you can download a zip file
21:27 eythian        hi
21:27 ebegin         Yeah, but I would like to wget the file too, but I have to click the Download link to get the URL. Why the Download link doesn't point to the file directly ?
21:27 cait           hi eythian :)
21:28 ebegin         hi eythian
21:28 cait           ebegin:  no idea

21:28 cait           ebegin: I wrote a little bash script to remember the urls for me and download the files
21:28 cait           because I found it so annoying :)
21:28 eythian        install the 'cliget' addon to firefox
21:28 eythian        it gives you a wget command for downloads
21:28 maximep        pretty sure wget will follow the redirect
21:30 ebegin         maximep, wget the download link works, but it saves it as index.html... :(
21:34 cait           ebegin: but you can wget the link you posted earlier
21:34 cait           to the po file
21:34 cait           that work
21:34 cait           s
21:34 cait           and the links don't change often - only every major release
21:35 ebegin         cait, yes, that's what i'm doing. I just wanted to save some clicks

21:48 Schuster       Friendly afternoon pesk back...  Any problems in jumping from 3.2 Koha-community to 3.6 or do I need to do the 3.4 in between?
21:49 bg             shouldn't be too bad - but you will need to run the remove_items_from_biblios script
21:49 bg             and reindex
21:49 bg             if IRC the script needed
21:49 Schuster       Yep I can see that in the notes etc.. Just wondering thanks.
21:50 wizzyrea       I think you mean version 3.2 to 3.6. There is no such thing as koha-community
21:50 wizzyrea       there is only koha
21:50 Schuster       I actually have done this on a test server that I have and trying to figure out if there is something that I missed.  sorry yes Koha.
21:50 wizzyrea       we don't recognize LLILS as even the same thing ;)
21:58 Schuster       Thanks again for another day!
22:08 aarkerio       hi! Can I import MARCXML records in "Staged MARC Records"?
22:18 wizzyrea       are there preferences beside "opac mysummary html" and opacnav that allow you to put html in the user account area?
22:19 wizzyrea       I suppose I could do this with jquery.
22:19 * wizzyrea     will probably go that route
22:47 rangi          yeah jquery might be easiest
23:21 bg             heya BobB
23:21 bg             man I'm getting this error in one of my frameworks - The biblio.biblionumber and biblioitems.biblioitemnumber fields be mapped to a MARC subfield,
23:21 bg             both of those should only be mapped to the 999c and the 999d correct?
23:22 BobB           That's right, bg
23:22 rangi          yeah
23:23 rangi          heya BobB, enjoy the conference?
23:23 BobB           Hi Chris, I enjoyed it hugely.
23:23 BobB           I'm having withdrawals.
23:23 rangi          excellent
23:23 rangi          well june isnt far away :)
23:23 BobB           Were your conferences good too?
23:24 rangi          yeah access and kiwicon were fun, lianza was productive
23:24 bg             well shoot - it's still saying that and I've got those two mapped in my framework
23:24 BobB           I need to get firm dates for Edinburgh.  Will have to press slef for that, I guess.
23:26 bg             Oh really weird…  looking in the mysql database I see two entries for 999 c and 999 d
23:26 rangi          its 1-12 june
23:26 rangi          so firmer
23:26 rangi          :)
23:26 rangi          but not quite firm yet
23:26 BobB           Its that right?  1-12 June is confirmed?
23:27 bg             the second entry has got NULL in the tab, authorised_value etc...
23:27 BobB           That's great news.  We can travel in late May and save a motza.
23:27 * ibeardslee   ponders on a presentation
23:28 rangi          bg: hmm that doesnt sound right
23:28 rangi          9:12 < slef> nengard: nearly, sorry! I'm pretty sure it'll be somewhere in the window 1-12 June.
23:28 bg             yeah that's really weird
23:29 bg             oh well I'll nuke those second entries from the database and let's see what happens
23:29 rangi          BobB: ALA is 22nd june, making sure not to clash with that
23:30 bg             yup rangi now it passes tests
23:30 BobB           bg - maybe just delete them?  Nuking sounds a bit severe.  :)
23:30 bg             heh - ok how about removed that crap
23:31 BobB           Cool!
23:31 rangi          :)
23:32 libsysguy      @Off-topic ok so I need some protips...what can I do with this page: http://lib.uttyler.edu/circulation and those similar to make them look better other than resetting the padding for ul's
23:32 huginn         libsysguy: I suck
23:32 libsysguy      libsysguy
23:32 wahanui        i think libsysguy is Koha's hottest developer or partying with swedes on his deck
23:33 rangi          hmm
23:33 libsysguy      I was also thinking maybe some alternate link colors
23:34 rangi          im hopeless at those kinda things
23:34 bg             libsysguy: can you send me your address again.. and do you want hot curry or just normal curry powder
23:34 bg             email to brendan@bywatersolutions.com
23:35 libsysguy      bg - either is fine but i prefer hot :)
23:35 bg             ok you got it - hot curry it is
23:36 bg             it's really red looking so I'm sure it's hot
23:36 libsysguy      excellent
23:36 bg             went to a pretty crazy market to get it…
23:36 libsysguy      oh?
23:36 libsysguy      so i should be leery?
23:36 bg             also went to another market close by - a fish market…  that one was gross - I acutally threw up in the middle of the street from the smell
23:36 bg             had a bunch of indians staring at me
23:37 bg             no libsysguy - you should be all good
23:37 bg             it will be hot though - it looks like a lot of cayene pepper in it
23:37 libsysguy      haha wow...note to self...stay away from fish markets
23:37 libsysguy      *in india*
23:38 libsysguy      thanks again bg for picking that up for me
23:39 bg             sure thing
23:39 libsysguy      and giving up your lunch :p
