Time Nick Message 23:07 eythian_bucklame (for exactly that reason) 23:07 eythian_bucklame never use commit --all :) 23:04 eternalsword shouldn't have used --all. lesson learned. 23:02 eternalsword okay, so I'm getting diffs of my current work and repatching in fresh clone from upstream. If it works, I'll overwrite my github repo with that. I remember I did do some history modifications cause I added a file to github that I didn't want public. Didn't realize that would change the hashes on the master branch too. 22:59 Shane-S freaking works in MySQL...so somewhere is all this OO stuff it gets lost or broken 22:59 wizzyrea :) 22:59 Shane-S bye until tomorrow @ work...I am determined to get branchname working 22:58 wizzyrea you'll be fine :P 22:58 wizzyrea uhyea 22:58 Shane-S I onyl have 12Gb of ram in my computer so I should be fine giving it 2Gb ;) 22:57 wizzyrea :) we're always around. Well, some one is 22:57 Shane-S Its running in a Virtual Box VM 22:57 Shane-S as this system will be my "code" system 22:57 * Shane-S would like to do that as well...I might need help 22:56 * wizzyrea too 22:56 eythian_bucklame that way I can edit and hit refresh and see it straight away 22:56 eythian_bucklame I actually just run from the git directory, with some apache config to make it work 22:56 Shane-S thanks guys/gals...hopefully I will get there to help contribute. 22:56 Shane-S Guess I should have said 7 not 6 for pizza 22:55 Shane-S GF wants me there now for dinner...blowing up my phone :D 22:55 Shane-S okay have to try that another night :P 22:55 wizzyrea yea, it's in install.(os) 22:54 Shane-S and since I have all the files I take it I can build a working koha from there? (I have a document printed and remember seeing "git" in there 22:54 Shane-S oh okay 22:54 eythian_bucklame yep 22:54 Shane-S so in the kohaclone folder 22:54 eythian_bucklame git knows that you've changed things, so if you run 'git status' it'll tell you 22:53 eythian_bucklame Shane-S: you edit it in place 22:53 Shane-S does it make a folder or something? 22:53 Shane-S so where do I edit my "branch"? 22:49 * wizzyrea always appreciates eythian's git-fu 22:49 wizzyrea yup, any editor will work 22:49 eythian_bucklame you can use any editor 22:48 Shane-S can I at least use a gui editor...I hate vim and pine, and I like pico but its ctrl key crap sucks 22:47 eythian_bucklame eternalsword: or if any part of its history is different 22:47 eythian_bucklame eternalsword: if you applied it with a rebase, that might happen, maybe. 22:47 eythian_bucklame Shane-S: not until you understand it from the command line :) 22:47 Shane-S can I don't know the command line at all 22:47 wizzyrea I never have used them. 22:47 Shane-S there are some git gui's should I use those? 22:47 wizzyrea view remotes right? 22:47 eternalsword that's weird, the commit hash is different for the commit made Fri Feb 17 15:03:52 2012 +0100 between my master and upstream/master. How is that possible? 22:46 eythian_bucklame Shane-S: yeah, normal text editor 22:46 eythian_bucklame oh hey, 'git remote -v' is useful 22:46 eythian_bucklame I'd always say 'origin/master' then 22:46 wizzyrea yup 22:46 eythian_bucklame because there probably isn't a branch named 'origin' 22:46 Shane-S so how do I mod stuff? normal text editor? 22:45 eythian_bucklame wizzyrea: does that base off master? 22:45 wizzyrea ++ win! 22:45 Shane-S says Switched to a new branch 'my-koha' 22:45 eythian_bucklame but I always include the branch name, to make it a little less magic 22:45 Shane-S wizzyrea: worked 22:45 * wizzyrea is a creature of habit 22:45 * wizzyrea wonders where she is 22:45 eythian_bucklame the order isn't importent 22:44 wizzyrea whoa, I just realized we haven't heard a thing from kf/cait today 22:44 wizzyrea gnite magnuse 22:44 magnuse g'night #koha 22:44 wizzyrea that will check out a new branch called my-koha based on origin 22:44 wizzyrea I think you want git checkout -b my-koha origin 22:44 eythian_bucklame ? 22:44 eythian_bucklame Shane-S: do you have a remote repo that you called "upstream" 22:43 Shane-S git checkout upstream/master -b my-koha what I issued 22:43 Shane-S for upstream/master 22:43 Shane-S ...which can not be resolved as commit..... any help 22:41 wizzyrea (these days I could probably get myself out of it, but a year ago? yea not so much.) 22:41 eternalsword That's why I don't pull upstream until origin has been pushed. 22:40 wizzyrea with bad git maneuvering 22:40 wizzyrea i mean, I think I have messed up at least 15 koha clones 22:40 wizzyrea worst case? re-clone 22:39 * Shane-S just issues the dman command and see's what happens :P 22:39 eythian_bucklame The names can be anything you like though, e.g. "upstream" 22:39 eythian_bucklame Shane-S: your git repo can point to a number of others. e.g. at catalyst we have our internal one (which I call origin) and the public one (which I call kc.) If I do git checkout kc/master, I have the upstream master. 22:39 * wizzyrea goes for rivers, since trees aren't your thing 22:39 Shane-S where are the birds and bees...we have water and trees ;P 22:38 * magnuse has make on his list of things to learn 22:38 wizzyrea if the koha git were a river, your local clone is like a tributary 22:38 wizzyrea "upstream" is the main repo, or git.koha-community.org 22:38 Shane-S in an example 22:37 Shane-S its not on the wiki 22:37 eythian_bucklame (it's also a lesson to use makefiles) 22:37 magnuse ouch 22:37 Shane-S what does upstream do? 22:37 eythian_bucklame especially for a university assignment, and an all-nighter of work :) 22:37 eythian_bucklame not really, decompilers aren't all that great. 22:37 eternalsword at least in that case, a decompiler should work. 22:37 eythian_bucklame magnuse: yeah 22:36 magnuse i assume that would overwrite the source code with the compiled program or something? 22:36 eternalsword lol 22:36 eythian_bucklame watching a friend of mine do 'cc -o program.c program.c' made me start commiting to version control regularly 22:36 * Space_Librarian agrees with wizzyrea 22:36 magnuse well, a little 22:35 Shane-S <-- is very guilty of live updates...hits save...then edit undo = broken...and cries 22:35 * wizzyrea suspects magnuse spent a lot of time screaming. 22:35 * magnuse didn't evenb used to do that 22:35 eternalsword stupid me. I forgot to run git fetch upstream after adding it as a remote 22:35 * Space_Librarian ponders the magic 8-ball to answer these questions... 22:35 wizzyrea and I am happy. 22:35 eythian_bucklame Shane-S: hmm. You should learn git for your own sake then :) 22:35 wizzyrea now I use git 22:35 * wizzyrea used to do that 22:34 Shane-S eythian_bucklame: NO...I have a file, I back it up with .old instead of .php and make changes :D 22:34 wizzyrea "it gets better" 22:34 magnuse agrees with wizzyrea 22:34 wizzyrea <run around screaming> 22:34 wizzyrea which is "OMGWTFBBQ" 22:34 wizzyrea (with git) 22:34 wizzyrea Shane-S: every. single. one. of. us. started out where you are 22:34 eythian_bucklame well, if you're writing stuff in php, you're using version control, right? 22:33 magnuse great minds... :-) 22:33 Shane-S I can setup a windows server, install AD/DHCP/DNS/File Share, install a webserver on Ubunut (wait it does that for me now) make a site in HTML/PHP/MySQL that is about it though :D 22:33 wizzyrea I read it and was like "quote add!" 22:33 wizzyrea lol, I hadn't seen your statement 22:33 magnuse thanks wizzyrea 22:33 huginn wizzyrea: The operation succeeded. Quote #191 added. 22:33 wizzyrea @quote add Eythian: git is easy in essence, but it takes a lot of messing around and being confused before you really get what's going on :) 22:33 eythian_bucklame my suggestion is to learn that git reset is your friend, and git reflog can give you the information to recover from almost any screwup. 22:32 eythian_bucklame haha 22:32 Shane-S tree theory...I think I am gonna leave...and find a new career..I know none of this 22:31 eythian_bucklame it's easier to think of in terms of tree theory, if that's your thing :) 22:31 Shane-S okay this is going to take more then an hour huh :P 22:31 magnuse ooh, that sounds like a quote :-) 22:30 eythian_bucklame git is easy in essence, but it takes a lot of messing around and being confused before you really get what's going on :) 22:30 eythian_bucklame creates a new branch from master 22:30 Shane-S I know how to use a text edit, backup files, and make changes...that is it 22:30 eythian_bucklame git checkout upstream/master -B bug1234-fix-the-widget 22:30 Shane-S and the wiki is kinda assuming I know WTF git is/does and how it basically works 22:29 Shane-S I have no clue how this git stuff works 22:29 eythian_bucklame I never ever modify master on any of my repos 22:29 Shane-S that just confused me more :) 22:29 eythian_bucklame *off 22:29 eythian_bucklame but, base that branch of master 22:29 eythian_bucklame always use a branch 22:28 Shane-S wizzyrea: like the label and OPAC results changes I would like to contribute those, but I am not sure if I should do that on the master, or should I use a branch? 22:27 eythian_bucklame that's the best way to do it. 22:27 * wizzyrea is not sure 22:27 eternalsword I keep the master branch the same as upstream. I do all my work on different branches, even when pushing to github. 22:26 eythian_bucklame *git 22:26 wizzyrea is this the branch with your changes for f1? 22:26 eythian_bucklame I'd do a got log and see how it compares to git log upstream/master 22:26 eternalsword thus my confusion 22:26 eythian_bucklame if that were the case, then you wouldn't be seeing conflicts 22:26 Shane-S wizzyrea: no no...I mean the system at work is for testing...so I am not "locked" to a version I am using yet 22:25 eternalsword eythian_bucklame my master has no changes from upstream, so that shouldn't be the issue 22:25 wizzyrea don't worry about the terminology of production 22:25 wizzyrea you mean "doing work on koha" 22:24 eythian_bucklame I think it's taking a long time because what you have is perhaps a hugely different branch, or something like that 22:24 eythian_bucklame I don't think it's freezing. 22:24 Shane-S wizzyrea: I am on that wiki, and I am down to the checkout section...and I am not sure what I should contribute/use any suggestions as I don't have a "production" system in place yet? 22:24 eternalsword I've tried git pull --rebase upstream master and it freezes. I'll see if running the separate commands makes a difference. 22:23 wizzyrea pull = merge, rebase, well, rebases. 22:23 wizzyrea I've had better luck with it than "git pull" 22:23 wizzyrea but you might try a git fetch && git rebase origin 22:22 wizzyrea eternalsword: I'm not sure exactly what your issue is 22:22 wizzyrea really most every question is answered there 22:22 wahanui somebody said version control using git was at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Version_Control_Using_Git 22:22 wizzyrea version control using git? 22:22 wizzyrea sure you can, it's a bit of a different process though 22:21 Shane-S Also since I am running 3.6 at work, how would I go about modifying or checking out for that version? 22:20 Shane-S I am @ home trying this git thing, can I make a working version from it as well? I just did git clone 22:18 eternalsword so I cloned from git://git.koha-community.org/koha.git, created a repo on github with a couple of branches. origin now points to github. I added a remote called upstream for git://git.koha-community.org/koha.git. I am now pulling updates from upstream master. git pull upstream master merges with conflicts. Why are there conflicts as I made no changes from upstream. shouldn't the merge apply cleanly? 22:16 wizzyrea no matter how many times you tell people how holds get this way, they never get it 22:16 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=6645 major, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, NEW , attaching items loses hold 22:16 * wizzyrea hates bug 6645 22:02 libsysguy i love that 22:02 libsysguy LOL 22:01 wizzyrea so, don't waste your microseconds. 22:01 wizzyrea distance light can go in a microsecond = 900some feet 22:01 wizzyrea basic gist: distance light can go in a nanosecond = 11ish inches 22:01 wizzyrea http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEpsKnWZrJ8 21:33 schuster here 21:31 jcamins schuster: around? 21:30 wizzyrea could probably print $data tho 21:30 eythian_bucklame it's an object that does stuff with the prepared statement, you can't really just print it out. 21:29 eythian_bucklame sth is a statement handle 21:26 Shane-S oh well...time to leave...gotta let me dog out, can't be at work all day :P 21:26 Shane-S $sth= $dbh->prepare(MYSQL Here), was the line i made the SQL change to, but I have no idea what is going on with the sth stuff :( 21:24 huginn bag: The current temperature in K6LCM-Westside/Mesa, Santa Barbara, California is 15.3°C (1:22 PM PST on February 28, 2012).

Pressure: 30.16 in 1021.2 hPa (Falling). 21:24 bag @wunder 93109 21:24 huginn bag: rangi was last seen in #koha 4 days, 1 hour, 10 minutes, and 58 seconds ago: <rangi> bbl 21:24 bag @seen rangi 21:24 jcamins Shane-S: that's because you printed out the statement handle. 21:23 Shane-S okay its way beyond me...gave me DBI::st=HASH(0x9ff49d8) after $sth->execute($item_number); which is the line after the MYSQL I changed 21:19 eythian_bucklame no, php is like perl, not the other way around ;) 21:18 Shane-S ah okay like php :P 21:18 eythian_bucklame so "something: ".$val 21:18 eythian_bucklame -; 21:18 eythian_bucklame Shane-S: '.'; 21:17 Shane-S so like "Shane's Error" + $sth 21:17 Shane-S is . or + used to concatinate variables and strings? 21:16 jcamins It'll break your HTTP headers. 21:16 jcamins stdout goes to the browser. 21:15 eythian_bucklame probably still error... 21:15 eythian_bucklame some log somewhere I think 21:15 eythian_bucklame I forget where stdout goes 21:15 eythian_bucklame actually, perhaps do 'print STDERR "this is a message\n";' which I know will show in the error log. 21:14 Shane-S ah okay 21:14 eythian_bucklame it'll show up in the apache logs 21:14 Shane-S where will it go, HTML head? 21:14 eythian_bucklame Shane-S: print "this is my message!\n"; 21:13 Shane-S <-- does not know how to get a message out using Perl...only PHP and this portion is OO...so I am even more lost 21:12 jcamins Shane-S: I'd recommend using debug code. 21:12 Shane-S bye 21:12 wizzyrea byee 21:12 * oleonard unsquints his eyes and waves bye to #koha 21:12 * oleonard wonders why he would think he could work on tags code so soon before time to leave 21:10 Shane-S perhaps if I move the order that table is merged in... 21:09 Shane-S I am thinking it might be table position...perhaps after the biblio info it drops the fields 21:08 eythian_bucklame I like to chuck some debug code in mine to make sure my changes are being picked up, or introduce an error for a one-off check. 21:07 Shane-S if it works in mysql, and that line is what fetches all the table data and lets you use database table field name...it should work 21:06 Shane-S I will try another browser after my system restarts...Im doing it just to make sure... 21:05 Shane-S no...that can't be cached, as it generates a PDF 21:05 wizzyrea oh, I htought maybe you were facedesking because you flushed the cache and now it works. 21:05 Shane-S but in the code, it hasn't broken anything...but branchname isn't coming out 21:04 Shane-S I am, in MySQL perfectly 21:04 wizzyrea >.> 21:04 wizzyrea did it work? 21:04 jcamins Ah. 21:04 wizzyrea i think he's looking at labels.pm 21:04 * Shane-S beats head on desk 21:04 jcamins What did you change? 21:04 wizzyrea no, not like that. 21:04 eythian_bucklame that's often the issue 21:04 eythian_bucklame flush your browser cache 21:04 eythian_bucklame Shane-S: no, it doesn't. 21:03 Shane-S I made a change, but have seen no effect, and thus it occured to me maybe I should restart apache or the whole systme 21:03 wizzyrea it can use memcached 21:03 Shane-S just a thought does Koha cache files in memory, like the /usr/share/lib files? 20:53 jcamins wizzyrea: hehe. 20:49 wizzyrea the most I have to complain about them is that the guy who does their twitter is a bit of a knob. 20:49 Space_Librarian eythian_bucklame: agreed 20:49 wizzyrea even outage reports (from my phone) 20:49 jcamins wizzyrea: I think I could've done it online if I'd ever had an account with them before. 20:48 eythian_bucklame Oh, I just start drinking before I call them. Softens the blow that way 20:48 * wizzyrea has never called. I do it all online. 20:48 Space_Librarian there's always a catch 20:48 eythian_bucklame they're lulling you into a false sense of security 20:48 jcamins When was the last time you called a utility company and were not driven to drink? 20:48 eythian_bucklame jcamins: just wait 20:48 wizzyrea which is nice 20:48 wizzyrea we can do it online here 20:48 jcamins I called the power company to set up service, and it was painless! 20:48 wizzyrea ? 20:48 jcamins Wow. That was really weird. 20:41 Space_Librarian Oh woe indeed. 20:40 eythian_bucklame it's still here. alas. 20:33 Space_Librarian hey eythian_bucklame - how's Aucks? 20:33 wahanui hello, eythian_bucklame 20:33 eythian_bucklame hi 20:31 Space_Librarian morning wizzyrea 20:31 wizzyrea morning Space_Librarian 20:30 Shane-S I added a comment to the bug, hopefully I can figure it out or someone can comment further on it 20:29 Space_Librarian morning all from chilly Wellington 20:24 Shane-S That is about as far as I can take it, should I append that to my bug? 20:19 Shane-S However, using branchname in the label layout isn't working :( 20:18 Shane-S That is line 81 of C4/Labels/Label.pm it works if I take the SQL and put it in MySQL command line replacing the ? with 25317 (itemnumber of one of my books) 20:17 Shane-S pastebin.com/ccJMk89G 20:09 Shane-S must be more to it... 20:06 Shane-S hmm worked in MYSQL...so it is joined...I can see the data...perhaps wrong name...checking schema 20:05 patric It's not so much dedicated and occupied 20:04 patric BSD, you know that little group that brought us tcp/ip 20:03 Shane-S have to copy the code to MYSQL and see what it does :P 20:03 Shane-S I did :P 20:02 wizzyrea Shane-S: that's probably because you'd have to join items on branches 20:02 Shane-S I just added the branches table to the MYSQL 20:02 Shane-S I am a backup of the original...hmm it didn't work...didn't break...but using branchname didn't do anything 20:01 jcamins Shane-S: well, if you did, you can use git to go back to the way it was prior to your change easily. :) 20:00 Shane-S okay I changed line 81...gonna try it *prays he did not break it* 19:55 jcamins I didn't realize it was still active. I heard a bunch about it in 2006, and then it just fell off my radar. 19:54 slef Box Shifters Direct! 19:53 jcamins PC-BSD? Wow. It's been a long time since I heard about PC-BSD. 19:52 jcamins patric: you have a Starcraft box? Now that is dedication! 19:52 wizzyrea but it's not open. 19:52 * wizzyrea is totally aware that osx is unix. It's why I started using it in the first place. 19:52 patric My starcraft box runs pc-bsd, which is very nice for perfomance, but I still love my macs 19:51 oleonard Not that I'm aware of 19:51 jcamins oleonard: have there been any interesting comments recently? 19:51 wizzyrea hah. 19:51 wizzyrea and I actually think I like it better than osx 19:51 * oleonard wonders if Computerworld checked for comments on library-related blogs for official PTFS statements 19:51 * wizzyrea uses ubuntu at home now 19:50 oleonard "Computerworld has not yet found a spokesperson for PTFS/Liblime to give its side of the story." Typical. 19:50 patric OSX is unix these days, one of the very few certified 19:50 jcamins [off] Wait... I thought Kotui was a Sirsi project? 19:49 Shane-S OSX is built on Unix though :D 19:48 Shane-S <--loved PCs until he became a build IT admin and finds it annoying that a Mac can have apps "dropped" to them but with M$ you have to use a GPU get or make an MSI and WAIT at login/startup 19:48 wizzyrea i expected... dunno, more open source open hardware open-etc from him I guess. 19:48 oleonard http://computerworld.co.nz/news.nsf/news/library-trademark-battle-heats-up 19:48 wizzyrea but! it's *linus torvalds* 19:48 jcamins As do I. 19:47 wizzyrea i'm using a mac right now ;) 19:47 jcamins wizzyrea uses a Mac. :) 19:47 Shane-S what are you one? 19:47 wizzyrea don't get me wrong, macs are lovely. 19:47 Shane-S I am on a MacBook Pro why is an Air an issue? 19:46 wizzyrea my illusions, they burn. 19:46 wizzyrea this seems all kinds of wrong to me. 19:46 Shane-S hmm let me try modifying that :P 19:46 wizzyrea ...linus uses a macbook air. 19:40 chris_n probably if that is fixed life would be good again in label land 19:39 chris_n the exact SQL used for retrieval is at line 81 19:34 chris_n it happens in the draw_label_text method of C4::Labels::Label iirc 19:32 Shane-S Label* 19:31 Shane-S chris_n where does it take the table structure names and extract them, ie. title, itemcallnumber, etc. is that in Labels.pm 19:31 chris_n in short, labels will work, but some fields will not be available as advertised 19:29 Shane-S <-- is clueless to that, just started using Koha 19:28 * chris_n cringes 19:28 chris_n but yes, labels was never brought up to speed when items were removed from bibs 19:27 chris_n lol 19:27 jcamins :) 19:27 jcamins caffeine? 19:27 chris_n caffine even 19:27 * chris_n hands jcamins lots of motrin/tylenol and caffien 19:27 Shane-S jcamins tried a drill? back in ancient times they use to bore holes for that :D 19:26 * wizzyrea cringes 19:26 * jcamins bangs his head against the desk in an effort to equalize the pressure inside and outside his head. 19:26 wizzyrea go lie down 19:26 Shane-S I did homebranch,952a,title,itemcallnumber and all worked less 952a 19:26 jcamins Ooh, headache came back. 19:26 wizzyrea good call. 19:26 wizzyrea yes, that's exactly why. 19:25 wizzyrea this 19:25 wizzyrea ^^^^^^^^^ 19:25 jcamins Maybe because it's not in biblioitems anymore? 19:25 Shane-S yeah same here (I installed from packages though) 19:25 wizzyrea homebranch definitely does though 19:24 wizzyrea yea 952a doesn't seem to work for me 19:24 chris_n its an attempt at OO style 19:24 Shane-S chris_n: I will do my best...but I can just do php/mysql and very basic at that :( 19:23 chris_n C4::Labels::Label does the grunt work of label creation 19:23 Shane-S I will double check now 19:23 Shane-S I swear I typed 952a, :) 19:23 patric ... "replace when " 19:22 * wizzyrea will check, I took Shane-S at his word. 19:22 patric Hey all, I'm having a horrendous time with duplicate records ... reimported, with a barcodes, could've sworn I unimported the old ones first, had dupes, unimported the new stuff, and am now wishing for a wipe out the old one's button, since a clean button isn't showing up, feel free to advise, but for the next few minutes I'm going to read the docs on ... 19:22 chris_n so maybe it's broken beyond 3.2.x 19:22 wizzyrea weird! 19:22 chris_n 952a works here for branchcode 19:22 wizzyrea :) 19:22 chris_n its been a looong time since I looked at labels 19:22 wizzyrea actually 952a didn't - homebranch did though 19:21 chris_n I'd have to look 19:21 chris_n hmm 19:21 chris_n oh 19:21 chris_n 952a give the branch code 19:21 Shane-S yeah...haven't opened it yet, have to find the one that takes the usercode, related to the database fields, and see if I can add in a "new" code and add some SQL 19:21 wizzyrea which seems reasonable. 19:20 wizzyrea Shane-S would like to have the branchname available in addition to the branchcode 19:20 jcamins Yeah, probably C4::Labels::Label. 19:20 wizzyrea we were looking at the label creator ;) 19:20 * chris_n perks up 19:19 jcamins Labels.pm is *more* succinct. 19:19 jcamins Whoah. 19:19 * wizzyrea is amazed by chris_n sometimes 19:19 wizzyrea Label.pm may be what you're looking for 19:19 jcamins Whoah. 19:18 wizzyrea wow layout.pm is uh, pretty succinct. 19:17 oleonard Shane-S: The path I take is often: 1) Identify the variable name in the template 2) Search for the variable name in the .pl file 3) Find the subroutine which is creating the data in the variable 4) Examine the subroutine in the .pm file to find out where the information came from 19:17 Shane-S ah okay I will have a look 19:16 wizzyrea possibly 19:16 wizzyrea C4/Labels/Layout.pm 19:16 jcamins Or C4/Labels/Something 19:16 wizzyrea (just a guess) 19:16 wizzyrea you probably want to look in C4/Labels 19:15 Shane-S man I can not figure out label-edit-layout.pl trying to figure out where the user-input fields like "branchcode" are processed so I can find the variables and query to the DB...so I can contribute code to my bug 19:02 wizzyrea that too. 19:02 oleonard Plus it's counter to their goal of promoting their version to the exclusion of Koha 19:02 jcamins PTFS Europe contributes, but they're a different company that shares a name with PTFS, apparently. 19:02 wizzyrea to participate. 19:01 wizzyrea it's not the same software, it would be hard for them 19:01 wizzyrea not in the last couple of years. Occasionally you'll see someone answer a question here or on the list, but that hasn't happened in a while. 19:01 oleonard Not at all anymore. 19:01 Shane-S Ah, do they contribute to the community at all? 19:00 jcamins Or 3.1. 19:00 oleonard So yeah, marketing. 19:00 oleonard Liblime Koha is based on an older version of Koha, but with a higher version number. 19:00 jcamins They made up a new versioning scheme after they forked off of 3.0. 19:00 wizzyrea they version like firefox does, or something. 18:59 jcamins Shane-S: no, LibLime's software is very different. 18:59 Shane-S or is it just a marketing number 18:59 Shane-S oh so I was on LibLime and notice version 4...I thought LibLime Koha and Koha-community were close in version 18:57 wizzyrea just don't go rewriting search.pm and you'll be fine. 18:54 * oleonard is better at PHP too, but manages to get small stuff done 18:54 oleonard Shane-S: You'll find places where your PHP knowledge will give you enough to go on to puzzle stuff out 18:52 Shane-S I suck at perl...only got anywhere with php (maybe a good decision to keep rookies like me out of the code) :) 18:51 jcamins lol 18:51 oleonard No, slef forbid 18:51 Shane-S does Koha use PHP anywhere? 18:50 jcamins A new cataloging interface, probably. 18:49 oleonard I can't imagine what a solution might be. Changing tabindex would be a nightmare 18:43 wizzyrea (but yes, that's what I was looking at) 18:42 wizzyrea fair enough :) 18:42 wahanui addbiblio.pl is a tangled mess, and every time we touch it we break something. 18:42 oleonard addbiblio.pl? 18:42 wizzyrea i was just putzing about in cataloging, I imagine that catalogers get annoyed that they have to tab through all of those links 18:42 * oleonard is here now 18:38 wizzyrea every time I use it i'm so thankful. 18:38 wizzyrea also, loving the way you did search to hold. Really brilliant 18:35 wizzyrea oleonard, about? 18:04 huginn Shane-S: downloading the Perl source 18:04 Shane-S @ -> @home 18:04 Shane-S my laptop here doesn't have half the drivers and was just for testing, so I am just figuring out how to make it work for us 18:04 Shane-S yeah I am making a VMmachine @ to do a git based install so I can easily edit the files 18:04 jcamins This is very relevant. 18:03 huginn jcamins: Quote #129: "jcamins: take to heart the old saying- 'don't be a git, use git."

I'm wrong a lot. 18:02 wizzyrea I had only observed the stable ones 18:02 * jcamins_away rolls his own either way. 18:02 jcamins_away Are you sure? I thought eythian was doing packages off of Master as well. 18:01 wizzyrea stable release. You have to roll your own if you want packages based on master. 18:01 Shane-S are the packages updated from the master or current release only? 18:00 Shane-S that helps thanks :) 17:59 wizzyrea if that puts you on the right track. ;) 17:59 wizzyrea branches.branchname, to be exact. 17:59 wahanui rumour has it schema is tracked in git. or found at http://schema.koha-community.org 17:59 wizzyrea schema? 17:59 wizzyrea schema/ 17:59 wizzyrea the descriptions are held in the table "branches" 17:57 wizzyrea fwiw, 17:57 wizzyrea :) 17:57 Shane-S no wait..18 17:57 Shane-S I used to be proficient with mysql back in the day I wrote my own CMS (16yrs old...now 30) been awhile :D 17:56 Shane-S I will check my MYSQL DB and append the SQL statement if I can figure it out :P 17:55 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7615 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, cnighswonger, NEW , homebranch 17:55 Shane-S bug 7615 17:53 wizzyrea there we go. 17:53 wahanui one can report bugs at http://bugs.koha-community.org/.

I have tried changing it around to try to get it to work but because the column is multiple <tr> I can't get it to do anything but remove the text. 16:36 wahanui i think which one is it 16:36 wizzyrea which one? 16:36 wizzyrea that is similar 16:36 wizzyrea yea, I was thinking of one there 16:36 edveal Yes, I found something there that is close but can't get it to work. 16:35 wahanui jquery library is found at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/JQuery_Library 16:35 wizzyrea jquery library 16:35 edveal Yes, they don't circulate items so they want the Due Date column hidden. 16:34 oleonard edveal: In the OPAC? 16:34 edveal hints? 16:34 edveal I need to hide a column in the holdingst but am having a hard time figuring it out. Can someone give me some hits? 16:32 * wizzyrea gives jcamins the eye 16:32 * jcamins votes for adding a third. 16:32 wizzyrea I'd kind of be "for" that 16:31 wizzyrea what do you think? 16:31 wizzyrea well I don't know 16:31 oleonard Time to get rid of the "old" kind? 16:31 wizzyrea there's the "messaging system" and then there is the standard edit patron -> opac/intranet note 16:31 wizzyrea which I think is a bit confusing? 16:31 wizzyrea also, we have 2 kinds of patron notes 16:30 wizzyrea hm I wonder if it would be possible to show the patron notes onthe patron detail page as well as on the checkout page 16:28 jcamins schuster: I sent you a PM when you get a chance. :) 16:28 jcamins Yeah, she brought some to class once. 16:25 wizzyrea *nod* it is 16:25 schuster ooo kettlecorn is great! 16:22 * jcamins thinks that's very cool. 16:22 jcamins wizzyrea: I met someone who started a kettlecorn store in New York. 16:22 * wizzyrea goes for a refresh on the popcorn 16:22 * oleonard tries to calm jcamins before he hulks out 16:20 reiveune bye 16:18 jcamins Grr. marcelr isn't around. 16:16 jcamins Okay. 16:16 schuster I won't be able to do anything with it until tonight so no rush. 16:15 jcamins Sorry it took so long...

I use July 1. 15:24 wizzyrea so say, start it on the 1st day of that season 15:24 libsysguy there is, but a subscription start date is required 15:24 wizzyrea tangentially related problem that may or may not be really related but that is sure to spark contentious debate 15:24 libsysguy I think so lol 15:23 jcamins Isn't there a 1/quarter option? 15:23 libsysguy oh jcamins you have outwitted me this time 15:23 jcamins You mean in planning? 15:23 libsysguy how would you go about denoting that with a timestamp 15:23 jcamins Witty comeback! 15:23 libsysguy I a serial comes in say spring, winter, summer, and fall 15:23 jcamins ^^ Random answer 15:23 jcamins Never! 15:22 libsysguy random question 14:25 kivilahtio ok 14:25 jcamins But if you're outsourcing the development, it's something you want to keep in mind. 14:25 jcamins Right. 14:24 kivilahtio jcamins: It's some extra work but it wont take more than days. 14:24 jcamins Generally speaking, it's pretty easy. 14:24 kivilahtio jcamins: ok, but that wont be a major issue, right? 14:22 jcamins However, keep in mind that it can take a while for features to get into Koha, so you'll need to maintain the code, rebasing it to work with the latest master, until it gets in. 14:21 jcamins Yes, that seems reasonable. 14:20 kivilahtio I mean 1 man/month of work 14:20 kivilahtio I am not looking for hard dates, just some general idea about how demanding it might be 14:20 kivilahtio jcamins: what I wanted to hear is that, how large a task you feel this added functionality would be? I have come to think we could do it in 1 month 14:19 jcamins You'll need to think very hard about how "most specific to least specific" would work in this case. 14:18 jcamins I think the method you proposed makes sense, but I foresee problems with the circulation rules. 14:16 jcamins Good for you! We get a lot of people who don't feel the same way, so I have a prepared speech about open source not meaning "someone else will do your work for free." :) 14:16 jcamins kivilahtio++ 14:14 kivilahtio jcamins: reap the benefits and bear the burden 14:14 kivilahtio jcamins: If we go OS we definetely weant to be a part of the community 14:14 jcamins A lot of libraries don't think this through, and end up stuck on an old version of Koha permanently. 14:13 kivilahtio jcamins: To do the migration, code more functionality, make it more suitable to our standards, make localizations 14:13 jcamins Good, so you already thought about this. 14:13 kivilahtio jcamins: If we move to OS ILS, I already suggested we hire a project team of 4 persons for the duration of 1 year 14:12 kivilahtio jcamins: and in some cases we will run into trouble, not solvable by item types 14:12 jcamins kivilahtio: Provided you're aware that this is going to be more work, I strongly support you adding the new feature. :) 14:12 kivilahtio jcamins: but it would make things more streamlined 14:12 jcamins I'm sure there is. 14:12 kivilahtio It is 14:12 kivilahtio jcamins: Is there anybody else who would benefit for having departments? 14:12 jcamins It's just additional work. 14:11 jcamins_away kivilahtio: I'm sure you could. 14:11 kivilahtio jcamins_away: That is what I want to hear. Could we do it to match community standards? 14:10 jcamins_away Remember that any customizations you do have to either get into mainline Koha (which means that it can't break any existing functionality, and has to meet community standards), or you have to maintain the code. 14:10 kivilahtio jcamins_away: and not everyone of our libraries has the same department 14:10 kivilahtio jcamins_away: So we would have serials department serials vs adults department serials 14:09 kivilahtio jcamins_away: and about serials, we can have them in the serials departmant, as wel las in the adults department 14:09 jcamins_away kivilahtio: I come from the school of thought that says "if it's less work and gets the job done, it's the right way to do it." 14:09 kivilahtio jcamins_away: we can have sam item types in many departments 14:09 kivilahtio jcamins_away: It doesn't seem to be the right way to do it 14:08 jcamins_away That seems to me to be the way it works for all libraries: children's book, adult book, local history book, etc., etc. 14:07 kivilahtio jcamins_away: Book for childrens department, Book for adults department 14:07 jcamins_away kivilahtio: but you're going to have to define the same number of circulation rules in the end, so why not use the existing code? 14:06 kivilahtio jcamins_away: we would have to define item types for every department 14:02 jcamins_away kivilahtio: what's wrong with using item types? 14:01 kivilahtio but search groups area a keyword mess when you have 10+ libraries in it 14:00 kivilahtio And modify the search queries to include departments, or just use search groups 14:00 kivilahtio We would have to modify the OPAC-view to hide departments from libraries facet 14:00 kivilahtio loan rules etc. 14:00 kivilahtio This way the departments would be like libraries, when it comes to funds, and 14:00 kivilahtio define some libraries as departments. 14:00 kivilahtio modifying the branches-table, to contain a parent/sibling-relation. So we can 13:59 kivilahtio To alleviate this we are planning to extend the branches-functionality by 13:59 kivilahtio same material is different depending on the department. 13:59 kivilahtio department. Childrens area has no costs for returning late. Loan rules for the 13:59 kivilahtio like to define separate loan rules for the musics department than the serials 13:59 kivilahtio issue troubling us is tha lack of support for library departments.
