07:07 cait jcamins said scrabble would help my vocabulary.... lots of weird new words
07:07 rangi To blab, to talk a lot usually about something you shouldn't be telling ppl
07:08 rangi I heard about my suprise party because Kate blabbed about it
07:08 cait :)

08:12 cait aber eigentlich ist es ja auch gar nicht mehr so früh :)
08:21 rangi @later tell paul_p bug 7743 has the fix for the failing test on jenkins
08:21 huginn` rangi: The operation succeeded.
08:41 slef hi all
08:43 rangi hiya slef
08:43 cait hi slef
08:43 cait we should glue eythian to the channel
08:46 rangi yeah not sure what is up with his computer
08:47 cait we can tell him tomorrow I guess
08:50 cait perhaps
11:16 Oak kia ora #koha
11:16 Oak cait! easter holidays ?
11:16 cait yes, monday is a holiday here
11:16 cait back to work tomorrow
11:17 Oak hmm
11:19 * Oak needs to learn how to set up hourly backups of Koha.
11:19 Oak to a remote location: on FTP plus on local network using samba.
11:19 Oak nothing on wiki on cron?
11:20 rangi Oak: you are using packages eh?
11:20 Oak yes
11:20 rangi look in /etc/cron.daily/koha-common
11:20 Oak okie dokie
11:21 rangi thats what does the backups
11:21 rangi you'll want to take the command, and write a little bash script around it, to do the ftp/samba stuff then put that in /etc/cron.d/koha-common
11:24 Oak hmm, i don't see "koha-run-backups" command in there... by the way.
11:24 rangi where in cron.daily?
11:24 Oak yes
11:25 Oak no no
11:25 Oak yes it is there
11:25 Oak sorry
11:25 Oak in the end
11:25 rangi :)
11:25 rangi last line
11:25 rangi yep
11:25 Oak koha-run-backups --days 2 --output /var/spool/koha
11:26 Oak yes, crap... I was looking at all the long lines
11:26 Oak what does the --days 2 switch means?
11:28 jcamins_away rangi: you're up late.
11:28 jcamins_away Oak: that's how many days worth of backups to keep in /var/spool/koha
11:28 Oak ah cool... okay good.
11:29 Oak i also found it in /usr/sbin/koha-run-backups
11:29 Oak hmm
11:30 rangi jcamins: yep i should be asleep, will be soon
11:31 Oak will it be crazy to put the backup command in cron.hourly?
11:31 jcamins Yes.
11:31 rangi as it is yes
11:32 rangi because it will just overwrite itself
11:33 Oak :) hm. what if i do work all day (cataloging) and at 11:50pm the hard disk dies; suppose, then whole days' work will be lost.
11:33 rangi you'd need to wrap it with a script that copied the backup somewhere, also, mysqldump works the db
11:33 rangi yep
11:33 rangi but if you are doing that much cataloguing, you should have the disk raided
11:34 rangi and/or running replication
11:34 Oak how about I modify the /usr/sbin/koha-run-backups: these lines -- tardump="$dirname/$name/$name-$date.tar.gz"
11:34 rangi still need a script to copy it off
11:34 Oak to add time also
11:34 rangi or if the disk dies, your still out
11:35 Oak yes
11:35 rangi plus running a dump, works the db hard
11:35 * jcamins would recommend replication.
11:35 rangi yep
11:35 jcamins Do the backup off the slave.
11:35 slef congratulations to rangi on having the first paper accepted for kohacon12 ;)
11:36 rangi yay!
11:36 slef (and congratulations to rafael on having the second paper accepted for kohacon12)
11:36 Oak for now, RAID is not in the equation.
11:36 Oak congratulations rangi :)
11:36 cait oh
11:36 cait slef: anything to review for me? :)
11:37 rangi Oak: replication is easy, if you have a spare box to replicate too, (and if losing a days data is a worry)
11:37 slef cait: would you like some hackfest papers?
11:37 cait why not :)
11:37 slef everything else is out to reviewers
11:37 slef ok, cool
11:38 jcamins You know, sometimes one discovers the weirdest things around one's home.
11:38 cait what did you find?
11:38 jcamins We have a sealed container with something that looks very much like antifreeze sitting on my dresser.
11:38 cait slef: how many submissions so far?
11:38 jcamins We don't have a car.
11:38 Oak can you kindly point me to some link... as i don't know what the term 'replication' means for DB backup.
11:39 jcamins We have *never* had a car in the city.
11:39 jcamins It's not enough antifreeze to do anything useful.
11:39 * Oak Googles "mysql replication"
11:39 jcamins And it's in one of the containers that I generally use for freezing things.
11:39 cait hm
11:40 slef cait: 9
11:40 cait cool
11:40 cait I think close to the deadline will be some more
11:40 slef yes, I am sure
11:40 Oak found it: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/replication.html
11:40 * jcamins needs to submit a proposal for a remote talk on analytics.
11:41 * jcamins wants to call it "Analyze everything! Analytic records in Koha"
11:41 slef jcamins: oh I think mle said internet is confirmed. Did you see it / should I check?
11:41 jcamins slef: yeah, I saw that.
11:42 rangi ok, bedtime
11:42 slef thank rangi
11:42 jcamins That's why I was waiting to submit a proposal, so I knew whether to propose a presentation via Skype/whatever, or whether I needed someone to read the talk.
11:44 Oak good night rangi
11:45 slef I think sponsors 3 and 4 have just come on board too, but I'll confirm that once banks open again!
11:45 sha hii
11:45 slef hi sha
11:49 cait slef: yay :)
11:49 cait and I got the confirmation
11:51 slef cait: do you think the new paragraph on http://koha-community.org/kohacon12/sponsoring-kohacon12/ is OK? (Starts "We will announce sponsors...")
11:52 cait hm
11:52 cait i am still not sure we should put such a heavy weight on the amount
11:52 slef cait: I think know how you feel about the levels in general - this is all a bit icky, but more money means better kohacon12
11:53 cait slef: I think this is a bit too much for me to feel comfortable with - small amounts can be big amounts for small companies
11:53 cait and I don't think we should encourage a "X gave more than y"
11:53 cait it should be confidential
11:54 cait so mentioning whohas already sponsoered is ok for me, but the listing order ... I don't like that
11:54 slef cait: I agree. That's why I wanted the Kind Hearts level and not just the big one. I also wanted the numbers in general clear on the call for sponsors.
11:55 slef (I agree about the small amounts are big amounts for small companies)
11:55 cait I don't think we have to do that
11:55 cait give sponsors a lot
11:56 slef I was thinking, you see, what is there to encourage sponsors to give more than the minimum level?
11:56 cait yes, but I think it will work without so much encouragement
11:56 slef I can encourage them to sponsor earlier (which will help) by including them in more announcements.
11:56 slef OK... so should the ordering be random, would you say?
11:57 cait random
11:57 cait would work for me
11:57 slef I wonder if we can use the same thing that does the paid support listing. I'll ask wizzyrea
11:57 cait or alphabetic
11:57 slef I hate alphabetic.
11:57 cait heh
11:57 cait youare not a librarian :)
11:57 slef My company names have started with s and t
11:58 cait random would work for me
11:58 cait I am not sure how other kohacons did it
11:58 slef meaningful names are better than "aaaa1111 koha co"
11:58 slef no me neither... previous kohacons have been a bit more opaque about money than I like
11:59 cait hm
11:59 slef I agree on the confidential in general, but I'll publish a summary account of the conference and maybe hand over some money to kohacon13
11:59 slef (depending what comes in)
11:59 cait I think that's ok
11:59 cait giving others an idea about costs is not wrong
12:00 slef that's been the hardest thing for me about organising this one
12:00 cait but by the way this community works... I don't like to see so much value being put on money - sure we need it...
12:00 jcamins slef: do you know, I was thinking about doing business as "aaaa11111 bibliography services." ;)
12:03 slef cait: money && social && environmental
12:04 slef cait: need all three
12:04 slef jcamins: *&!&*&$$!
12:04 slef :)
12:04 jcamins :)
12:05 slef jcamins: that's not cursing. That's what I was wondering about having as a trading name. It would appear before your aaaa11111 bibliography services in the support directory.
12:05 jcamins slef: I figured.
12:06 cait slef: thx for changing the sponsoring text :)
12:06 cait slef: do you have an idea yet how much money we will need in total?
12:09 slef cait: too many variables. I think GBP 2000 + printing + maybe transport (moving equipment and so on) + whatever else we want to do.
12:09 cait hmm I thought more even :)
12:09 cait I think it will work out
12:10 cait i thought about how wikipedia does it - have a scale or something
12:10 cait telling people how close
12:10 cait but hard to predict the total, as you say
12:10 slef cait: the venue is reasonably-priced. We are hoping it is OK.
12:10 slef cait: wikipedia set a target
12:10 cait slef: yeah, so will not work
12:11 slef I was going to set GBP 2500 as the target for crowd-funding if we did that
12:11 slef as crowd-funding sites penalise you if you don't reach the target
12:11 cait it's still not a lot for a multi-day conference
12:12 slef no, indeed
12:15 slef debconf is over GBP 12,000 but they have many rooms and pay for some people's food and hotels and so on
12:18 slef hrm, actually GBP 25,000
12:18 slef I just found the accounts :)
12:18 slef http://rkd.zgib.net/http/debconf/accounting-balances.txt
12:18 slef ow
12:19 slef more like GBP 35000
12:20 cait ouch
12:20 cait well. we don't want to get that big
12:20 slef yeah, glad we're not that big
12:20 cait slef: how many people registered so far?
12:20 cait :)
12:20 * cait is excited and working on the reviews.
12:22 slef cait: at least 17
12:22 cait hm not too bad :)
13:38 * chris_n wonders if jcamins_away really is
13:38 chris_n hi cait
13:41 * chris_n bangs a pot to see if anyone is awake :-)
13:42 chris_n wahanui ?
13:42 wahanui yes, chris_n?
13:42 slef die!
13:42 slef wahanui: die!
13:42 wahanui errrrgh arrrrgh stop it that tickles a bit!
13:43 chris_n lol
13:45 slef wahanui: the first sign of madness?
13:45 wahanui the first sign of madness is, like, looking for hairs on the palms of my hands
14:02 cait hi chris_n
14:03 cait the second sign of madness?
14:03 wahanui i guess the second sign of madness is hairs on the palms of my hands
14:03 Oak don't ask the 4rd
14:03 Oak *sigh*
14:03 Oak never mind
14:03 cait oh
14:03 cait now I want to!
14:03 cait the fourth sign of madness?
14:04 Oak :)
14:04 chris_n cait: what field is typically used for url's in electronic resources?
14:04 cait @marc 856
14:04 huginn` cait: The information needed to locate and access an electronic resource. The field may be used in a bibliographic record for a resource when that resource or a subset of it is available electronically. In addition, it may be used to locate and access an electronic version of a non-electronic resource described in the bibliographic record or a related electronic resource. (Repeatable) (1 more message)
14:05 cait @marc u
14:05 huginn` cait: unknown tag u
14:05 cait @marc 856 u
14:05 huginn` cait: Uniform Resource Identifier The URI, which provides standard syntax for locating an object using existing Internet protocols.

14:05 chris_n @more
14:05 huginn` chris_n: Error: You haven't asked me a command; perhaps you want to see someone else's more. To do so, call this command with that person's nick.
14:05 chris_n @marc more
14:05 huginn` chris_n: unknown tag more
14:05 slef @more cait
14:05 huginn` slef: recorded. (Repeatable)
14:05 chris_n ahh
14:05 Oak cait++
14:06 chris_n so if I want to mimic something like the left side of this page: http://archive.org/details/inmemoriamhamil00broogoog
14:06 chris_n I'd use that field
14:06 cait I am recorded and repeatable? :P
14:06 chris_n repeated
14:06 chris_n hehe
14:06 slef cait: apparently :)
14:06 * slef fails to log in on someone's website and sulks.
14:06 chris_n the more the merrier they say
14:06 cait slef: scary :)
14:07 cait chris_n: are you aware of the super cool feature jared did for local cover images?
14:07 chris_n cait: can I add any field to my xml stylesheet?
14:07 chris_n yes
14:07 * chris_n will be using that too
14:07 cait ah ok
14:07 chris_n what I'm speaking of here is the links to the different electronic formats
14:07 cait there is also a system preference to show correctly formatted 856 as pictures in the record I think
14:07 * chris_n is integrating IA's reader into his koha
14:08 cait IA's reader?
14:08 chris_n internet archive
14:08 cait ah
14:08 cait yes you can repeat 856
14:08 cait and there is already a lot of code for that in the xsl stylesheets
14:08 chris_n http://openlibrary.org/dev/docs/bookreader
14:08 cait and you can make any field display that is in your marcxml
14:09 chris_n hi wizzyrea
14:09 chris_n cool
14:09 wizzyrea mornin
14:09 * chris_n was beginning to think he missed a holiday or some such ;-)
14:09 wizzyrea hehe
14:11 chris_n hmm
14:11 sekjal apparently it's Dyngus Day (http://www.dyngusdaybuffalo.com/whatisdyngusday.html)
14:12 chris_n why not have the resource url in the item rather than the bib?
14:13 * chris_n considers a case where two items attached to a bib reference copies of the resource at different locations... url-ly speaking
14:13 cait why have it in the bib?
14:13 cait you can do that
14:13 cait have an url in the item
14:13 chris_n ahh
14:13 cait 952 $u I think
14:13 chris_n well... it must be monday
14:13 chris_n that was staring me in the face...
14:14 cait but much harder to make it display nicely if you want to change the default
14:14 chris_n so 952$u is not easily added to the stylesheet?
14:14 cait I tihnk you could
14:14 cait but
14:14 cait items in general are not dealt with in the xsl
14:14 cait hm
14:14 cait thinking yout it , not sure you can
14:15 cait since we removed the items from the xml
14:15 cait you probably can't
14:15 cait not sure which xml is used
14:15 cait the one in the database or the one from zebra
14:16 chris_n so is there a "norm" for when to add "duplicate" bibs and when to add more items to the same bib?
14:16 * chris_n thinks life just got harder for some reason...
14:17 wizzyrea for what it's worth
14:17 chris_n ie, should I have one bib for each resource location?
14:17 wizzyrea oh, never mind.
14:17 wizzyrea e-items
14:17 wizzyrea not real items
14:18 chris_n right
14:18 wizzyrea we add new bibs whenever the medium changes.
14:18 chris_n or are e-resources not in the set of items?
14:18 chris_n ahh
14:18 wizzyrea large print, mass market, etc
14:18 wizzyrea dvd
14:19 wizzyrea < publics
14:19 chris_n so I should probably set off on the path of a new bib for e-resources and then one per location?
14:19 wizzyrea well, define location?
14:19 chris_n URL
14:20 wizzyrea hmm
14:20 chris_n ie... I serve a copy locally, but also want to reference it on the i-net
14:20 chris_n sometimes public domain resources disappear
14:20 cait you can give a description for each 856
14:20 chris_n we will retain some local copies to avoid future unavailability
14:20 cait that will show
14:20 cait so as long as all urls lead to the same resource
14:21 cait content / presentation wise
14:21 cait I would keep it on the same record
14:21 wizzyrea http://catalog-test.nexpresslibrary.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=433883
14:21 wizzyrea we do them like this
14:21 cait hi wizzyrea :)
14:21 wizzyrea now, we don't have more than one, but we don't have your situation either
14:21 wizzyrea I believe
14:21 cait we have lots of urls
14:21 wizzyrea we have a not-for-loan status of download
14:21 cait becaue of catalog enrichment from the union catalog
14:22 chris_n wizzyrea that helps
14:22 chris_n pictures++
14:22 chris_n so the "Online Resources:" field is 856?
14:23 chris_n cait: do you just lump them all on the same line in your item display?
14:23 cait searching for an exmaple
14:23 cait sec
14:23 cait chris_n: but yes to your question
14:23 wizzyrea yea, the OR is 856
14:24 * chris_n misses the marc view on wizzyrea's test system
14:24 wizzyrea >.>
14:24 chris_n :)
14:24 wizzyrea we are patron friendly here >.>
14:24 wizzyrea actually that's what it looks like in production too :)
14:24 chris_n considering marc is scarry to us, I can't imagine what it does to patrons
14:24 wizzyrea ^^
14:24 cait [off] https://hfjs.bsz-bw.de/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=56
14:25 wizzyrea @quote add chris_n: considering marc is scary to us, I can't imagine what it does to patrons.
14:25 huginn` wizzyrea: The operation succeeded. Quote #199 added.
14:25 wizzyrea oh, yea, that's not a bad display
14:25 wizzyrea with appropriate descriptions that would be just fine.
14:25 wizzyrea and it could be styled with jquery + css prolly
14:25 wizzyrea if you don't like that list
14:26 cait I should make the font bigger sometime
14:26 cait I think it once was bigger...perhaps something wrong in the css
14:26 cait yep
14:26 chris_n this is great
14:26 cait it's repeated 856 with a u and an x or z (always confuse where the note goes)
14:27 chris_n on the topic of formatting: our catalogers have entered most of the TOC data in our collection
14:27 cait chris_n: it shows on the result list too
14:28 chris_n I'd love to break it out and display it separately
14:28 chris_n cait: nice
14:28 cait [off] no 36 https://hfjs.bsz-bw.de/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?idx=kw&q=de-576&offset=40
14:28 chris_n this discussion has been a big help
14:28 cait chris_n: you can certainly make it more prominent using css
14:28 wizzyrea ^^
14:29 cait oleonard's catalog has something nice too
14:29 cait wizzyrea: imdb is a great idea!
14:29 wahanui is a great idea! can be found at http://www.imdb.com/M/title-substring?title=is+a+great+idea!&type=fuzzy
14:30 chris_n are you all doing your customization via css
14:30 cait oh
14:30 cait imdb jane eyre
14:30 cait hm
14:30 cait where did wahanui learn this?
14:30 cait wahanui: imdb?
14:30 wahanui i don't know, cait
14:31 cait wahanui imd is a great idea
14:31 wahanui OK, cait.
14:31 cait lol
14:31 cait forgt imd
14:31 cait forget imd
14:31 wahanui cait: I forgot imd
14:31 wizzyrea yea, that was a burst of inspiration I had one day when I realized that the query strings for IMDB were easy to pass queries to
14:31 cait I shoul stop torturing the bot
14:31 cait wahanui: imdb is jane eyre?
14:31 wahanui is jane eyre? can be found at http://www.imdb.com/M/title-substring?title=is+jane+eyre?&type=fuzzy
14:31 cait aha!
14:31 wizzyrea that is possible due to magnuse's stuff
14:31 wizzyrea weird!
14:32 chris_n opps
14:32 cait wahanui: imdb jane eyre
14:32 wahanui jane eyre can be found at http://www.imdb.com/M/title-substring?title=jane+eyre&type=fuzzy
14:32 cait now I got him :)
14:32 chris_n must of changed their structure?
14:32 cait wizzyrea: magnus stuff?
14:32 chris_n all of those links are duds
14:32 wizzyrea yea, I think he added the bits and bobs that let you use certain tags in the more searches
14:33 wizzyrea so you can do http://site.you.want.to.search/query=<title> or soemthing
14:33 wizzyrea probably <<title>>
14:34 wizzyrea or <<author>>
14:34 cait ah, I thnk that was nicole :)
14:34 cait {TITLE}
14:34 wizzyrea hmm
14:34 wizzyrea could be.
14:34 wizzyrea I'd have to go back and look.
14:35 chris_n thanks for the help wizzyrea & cait
14:35 wizzyrea it also enabled the facebook and twitter like+tweet thing
14:35 cait I recently did {ISSN} :)
14:35 cait will be in 3.8
14:35 wizzyrea noice!
14:35 cait and it will work in all views :)
14:35 cait isbd too
14:35 cait ah, but you only have normal, so not broken for you
14:37 jcamins chris_n: I was, but I'm not anymore.
14:37 * chris_n heads off to utilize his new knowledge

14:58 wizzyrea yea
14:58 cait wizzyrea: the numbers are sure not intentional - but the search boxes are on top now
14:58 * wizzyrea waits for the screaming
14:58 cait it's the same number of clicks
14:59 wizzyrea yea, it's a pretty big change though
14:59 wizzyrea will have to be spoon fed to our librarians.
15:00 cait hm... I agree its a bigger change
15:00 cait but it's really the same amount of clicks... hope that helps to make them scream less?
15:00 wizzyrea and the numbers thing needs to be fixed.
15:00 cait yep
15:00 cait file a bug?
15:00 wizzyrea yea

15:04 wizzyrea do you know, since the introduction of those numbers, pending suggestions and tags for libraries have dropped dramatically?
15:04 * wizzyrea would really be irritated if they went away.
15:05 sekjal 7781 skipped the normal QA process
15:05 wizzyrea oh I see.
15:06 cait wizzyrea: we will get them back, don't worry
15:06 cait but first I have to fix jared's bug
15:06 wizzyrea :) no worries
15:09 cait I have some other nice bug fixes waiting for sign-off... *hint*
15:09 cait hehe :)
15:09 * wizzyrea is trying to decide if I don't like it because it's different or if I don't like it because it doesn't make sense.
15:09 * wizzyrea will look
15:10 jcamins wizzyrea: I think the search boxes make sense to me.
15:10 jcamins The removed features, not so much.
15:10 cait to me too - but I needed some time
15:10 cait basically all hackfest in marseille
15:10 jcamins Also, is there a syspref search box on the main page?
15:10 jcamins *tab
15:10 jcamins There should be.
15:10 wizzyrea no - but only for superlibrarians
15:10 cait oh
15:11 cait and I did a lot of capitalization patches
15:11 jcamins wizzyrea: yes, only for users with permission to modify sysprefs.
15:12 * jcamins is one of those users. ;)
15:13 cait hm if that is gone it's annoying
15:13 cait and I thought we agreed on keeping it for administrators
15:13 sekjal hmmm, we have a lot of exit statements in our code.
15:13 sekjal apparently, those don't work so well for mod_perl
15:14 sekjal plack is okay with them, so long as they're exit(0), but mod_perl doesn't like them at all
15:15 sekjal at least that's what my reading is telling me
15:16 jcamins sekjal: didn't someone file a bug about that?
15:20 sekjal bug 7829 is a start
15:20 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7829 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, dpavlin, Pushed to Master , reports/ remove all exit(1) for plack
15:21 sekjal but mod_perl doesn't like exit at all, 0 or 1
15:26 sekjal I think a lot of them run in various conditionals
15:27 sekjal so the rest of the code would just need to be wrapped in an 'else' statement

16:50 nengard will try :)
16:50 cait thx :)
16:50 cait jwagner: what for?
16:50 bag @wunder 93109
16:50 jwagner Syntax in a patch you sent gave me a clue about how to solve a completely different problem.
16:50 huginn` bag: The current temperature in K6LCM-Westside/Mesa, Santa Barbara, California is 16.4°C (9:49 AM PDT on April 09, 2012). Conditions: Clear. Humidity: 71%. Dew Point: 11.0°C. Pressure: 29.97 in 1015 hPa (Falling).
17:01 cait nengard: I think the late orders is clever - itshows only the branches with late orders
17:01 nengard that's not true though
17:01 cait it depends
17:02 nengard cause i have other vendors with orders places last year
17:02 cait are your orders closed?
17:02 nengard and it's not showing them
17:02 nengard nope
17:02 cait that's why then probably
17:02 cait can you check by closing one o fthose orders?
17:02 nengard then i need to document that it only works for closed baskets?
17:02 cait I think so - that's what i remember
17:03 nengard okay if i close a basket it shows - but i can tell you that this is going to be a support question I get 100 times - libraries would rather see all their vendors and get a message saying no late orders for this vendor than having koha try to be smart for them
17:03 nengard just what i think will happen
17:03 nengard for now i'll update the manual
17:04 cait I think it's better this way
17:04 cait I have a library with over 600 vendors
17:04 cait the pull down list gets too long
17:04 sekjal sounds like the problem is around open/closed baskets. I think we need a more concrete idea of what that actually means
17:04 sekjal from a workflow point of view
17:04 cait i think closing a basket means
17:04 cait the order has been placed
17:04 cait witht he vendor
17:04 cait it's the only indicator we have for that
17:04 sekjal that's how I typically use it
17:05 cait I think koha was less strict on tha tin the past
17:05 cait but I think it makes sense to make it a little more strict here
17:05 cait you might keep orders open to gather titles you want to order
17:05 cait like when you want to reach a minimum order amount
17:05 cait but once you are placing the order, you sould close the basket
17:05 nengard updated the report summary in the manual for now
17:06 sekjal I know libraries that want to keep all orders for particular serial to be in the same basket, year after year
17:06 cait I am writing a comment on bug 7930
17:06 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7930 minor, P5 - low, ---, oleonard, NEW , late order report not showing 'check all'
17:06 cait that's also by design :)
17:10 cait nengard: I have an open bug for mails not working and a perl error message on that page
17:10 cait bug 5347
17:10 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5347 blocker, P2, ---, jonathan.druart, ASSIGNED , late order management
17:11 nengard cait why would i not be allowed to check all the boxes on that page without a filter?
17:11 nengard that too seems silly
17:11 cait I explainedon the bug
17:11 cait it's because you can only do 1 vendor at a time
17:11 nengard then the checkbox shouldn't be there at all - will go read the bug
17:12 cait it works once you select a vendor
17:12 cait and the checkboxes work
17:12 cait only check all / uncheck all would not work without selecting a vendor
17:12 nengard oh
17:12 nengard i see
17:14 jcamins nengard: did you check your frameworks re: 7933?
17:14 jcamins Remember the "hidden" attribute only controls expanded MARC view and cataloging.
17:15 nengard my argument there is that it should control everything then
17:15 nengard it's confusing to the librarian
17:15 jcamins I agree it should.
17:15 jcamins But it doesn't.
17:16 jcamins So the bug isn't that 090 doesn't appear on the expanded MARC view. It's that the "hidden" attribute hasn't been taken out back and shot.
17:17 sekjal MARC definitions need to be separated from frameworks
17:17 jcamins That would be great.
17:18 sekjal hopefully structured in a way that would be as quick to load as possible
17:18 sekjal marc defs could be file-based; they don't really change all that much
17:19 jcamins Yes, removing MARC definitions from frameworks would be a huge step towards our MARC support not being painful.
17:19 sekjal and a good step towards metadata schema independence
17:33 cait I wish eythian would stop doing that
17:33 cait hi oleonard :)
17:33 oleonard Hi cait
17:33 cait I hope it's ok - I tried continuing your work

17:33 oleonard Of course it's okay

18:02 cait hi YoungPublicLibrarian
18:02 YoungPublicLibrarian Hello everyone. I need help creating a customized report.
18:04 edveal I am trying to hide the "Delete All Items" button for a library and can't quite get it. Anyone out there have any hints?
18:06 YoungPublicLibrarian The report is for Overdues that we want to mail out from the library, not use peoples' emails. It needs to show the patrons' information and just the items that are overdue all on a single page. Each page needs to have one patron only. Can anyone help me with this?
18:06 oleonard edveal: Looks like you'll have to look for the link text
18:07 edveal Ok, good idea.
18:08 YoungPublicLibrarian Hello cait! Sorry missed your 'hi'!
18:08 cait no problem :)
18:09 cait YoungPublicLibrarian: I am not sure you can do a paged report like this with the custom reports
18:09 jcamins YoungPublicLibrarian: I think the overdues job handles that.
18:09 cait adn you can downlowd a csv with overdues from one of the reports on the circulation patge
18:09 cait page
18:10 cait and what jcamins said
18:10 jcamins I guess maybe you could do an incredibly complicated thing with CONCAT, but I wouldn't recommend it.
18:10 cait the overdues job mails you a file with letters for borrowers without email address by default
18:10 jcamins And by "wouldn't recommend it," I mean "I'm horrified that I even mentioned the possibility it's such a horribly, terribly, massively BAD idea."

18:15 YoungPublicLibrarian Hmm...the current overdues report from the circulation page prints out an excel list for everyone that has overdues. But we want them all to be single page entities... Is this possible at all? We'd like to do that with all of our patrons, not just the ones that don't have emails...
18:28 oleonard Hmmm... Actually Bug 7928 works for me
18:28 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7928 normal, P5 - low, ---, oleonard, ASSIGNED , suggestion, tags numbers missing from mainpage
18:32 cait hm
18:32 cait peraps wizzyrea had nothing waiting?
18:44 YoungPublicLibrarian Well, I've been able to recreate the overdues report. But I don't know enough about SQL to format it so that the information of one patron fits on one single page....
18:45 cait i think you can't really do that with sql
18:45 cait sql is to retrieve data - not for formatting
18:46 YoungPublicLibrarian right, but you can format your reports can't you? I mean in my beginners SQL class they talked about creating reports with buttons and fields and things...
18:46 cait normally you would get the data and use something else for formatting, like using a... serial letter? (not sure that's the right word) to create the mails from a spreadcheet
18:46 cait What Koha can do is create somehting like a search form (runtime parameters) to influence the conditions for a report
18:49 YoungPublicLibrarian Hmm...okay. So if we run the report and get all the overdues in an excel sheet, how would I then get it formatted? Would I have to go through each overdue and create a page manually? Or is there a way in KoHa to do it? You mentioned Serial Letters, but I don't know what that is...sorry. Not trying to be difficult...
18:50 cait I was thinking of a feature word and perhaps writer (libreoficce openoffice too) have
18:50 cait where you can create letters from a spreadsheet of data
18:50 cait there are also other programs you could use I think
18:50 YoungPublicLibrarian Oh! That would be nice. I will look into that! Thanks!
18:51 YoungPublicLibrarian Also, you said that KoHa sends a letter via email to patrons with overdues. Is there a way we can see what that letter looks like?
18:51 cait YoungPublicLibrarian: I only now the german word - not sure how the feature is called in English correctly - so perhaps be careful when searching for serial letters :)
18:52 cait you define yourself how it looks like - it's one of the templates from tools > notices
18:52 cait normally ODUE
18:52 cait but you can define different letters
18:52 YoungPublicLibrarian Okay I will look there! Thanks!
18:53 cait np :)
18:53 cait also look at the manual about overdue letters - there are a lot of differnet options for setting them up
18:54 YoungPublicLibrarian Okay, thanks! You've been a huge help!
18:54 cait :)
18:55 YoungPublicLibrarian Hmm...google isn't coming up with much about making a MS Word letter from MS Excel. But I'll keep looking! lol
18:56 jwagner YoungPublicLibrarian, search on mail merge
19:01 YoungPublicLibrarian mail merge. Got it, thanks jwagner!
19:02 cait oleonard: pending suggestions show up for me
19:02 cait oleonard: but I kinda miss the system preference search? or did I imagine it was there before? :(
19:02 YoungPublicLibrarian <item>"<<biblio.title>>" by <<biblio.author>>, <<items.itemcallnumber>>, Barcode: <<items.barcode>> Fine: <fine>GBP</fine></item> in this line here, does anyone know what the difference is in <item> and "<<biblio.title>>"?
19:03 cait oleonard: I think it perhaps was only a link always and I have a link
19:03 cait <item> </item> (must be one line - be careful!)
19:03 cait aremarkers to output a list of items
19:04 cait so it will output all fields between those markers that you mention in between
19:04 oleonard cait: You are imagining a system preference search
19:04 cait << >> are placeholders for data that will be put in when the letter is generated
19:04 cait oleonard: yeah - wishful thinking :)

19:11 nengard just want my hand drag and drop interface :)
19:11 nengard handy
19:11 nengard not hand
19:12 nengard oleonard
19:12 wahanui somebody said oleonard was still here, if you just wish hard enough. or Koha's master UI designer
19:12 nengard sorry i was wrong
19:12 nengard it's kohavm for the opac and http://kohavm:8080/ for the staff
19:12 nengard so yes, i think i have the ports set up
19:13 oleonard nengard: Is that from the browser in your VM?
19:13 nengard no that's from the browers on my computer so i can view the vm
19:13 nengard so i open up virtual box, start up koha (debian) and then go to firefox on the mac and type that in
19:13 YoungPublicLibrarian Sorry cait, I'm absolutely positive you know more than me, so I can't answer you...
19:13 cait YoungPublicLibrarian: that's ok - was hoping someone had an idea what's going wrong here :)
19:15 cait hah! found it - was missing a :
19:19 nengard got it working
19:25 cait nengard++ :)
19:31 chris_n are we trying to deprecate C4::Dates?
19:32 cait I think sekjal and libsysguy were discussing this here a few days ago
19:33 chris_n any idea what's being used in its place?
19:34 * chris_n wonders if it handles dates in ansi-sql format
19:39 cait chris_n: I thinkthe new modules in Koha:
19:39 cait chris_n: there is a DateUtils and another related to dates somehow
19:39 chris_n DateTime... maybe
19:40 * chris_n looks to see if its in the dep list yet
19:40 cait chris_n: and I think a new deependance was introduced to - but I would start looking in the Koha namespace
19:40 cait chris_n: thereis a patch pending I think for new dependencies
19:40 chris_n DateTime would be cool
19:40 chris_n it has many format options
19:41 cait they talked about it being cool - but no idea :)
19:41 cait but I can find the bug for you
19:41 chris_n I have an old enhancement I have to port to 3.8 which needs to be able to pass dates formated in ansi sql
19:41 cait bug 7409
19:41 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7409 normal, P5 - low, ---, robin, Pushed to Master , Missing dependencies for Debian package
19:42 cait talkign about dates - have you seen the plugin for dates?
19:42 cait if you have an enhancement to dates that is displaying a date somewhere in the templates - you want to use that :)
19:42 chris_n no
19:42 chris_n this is not for display
19:42 chris_n just for querying
19:43 cait ah, and the bug isnot helpful
19:43 cait perhaps this: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5549#c5
19:43 huginn` 04Bug 5549: enhancement, P1 - high, ---, chris, Signed Off , Hourly Loans
19:44 rangi Morning
19:44 chris_n heya rangi
19:45 chris_n rangi do you know if we're using DateTime and deprecating C4::Dates now?
19:45 cait morning :)
19:46 sekjal chris_n: we're moving towards that, yes: DateTime and Koha::Calendar should be able to fully replaced C4::Dates
19:46 chris_n great
19:46 rangi Thats the plan I think but not for 3.6.x and not totally for 3.8 yet
19:46 rangi What he said
19:47 chris_n I just needed to know what direction to go with on a local enh I'm porting forward
19:51 sha hi all

20:09 rangi Ok my stop bbiab
20:28 cait oleonard++
20:30 oleonard More later. Bye #koha
20:30 rangi cya oleonard
20:30 wizzyrea la--- oh bother.
20:32 cait ah... I am always too slow for him
20:33 cait oh
20:34 sekjal one doesn't need an "exit 0" statement in Perl if all the subsequent lines are declared subroutines, right?
20:36 rangi no
20:36 sekjal okay, didn't think so. the /svc directory is rife with this
20:37 sekjal as well as my $query = new CGI;
20:37 rangi yeah
20:37 rangi CGI->new();
20:37 sekjal my readings on mod_perl suggest that exit() shouldn't be used (for mod_perl, anyway)
20:39 gmcharlt sekjal: correct - and arguably, exit() should never be used to get out of routines regardless
20:40 rangi exacterly
20:40 rangi its really lazy
20:41 sekjal gmcharlt: I had thought I'd remembered something like that from my CS classes, but I couldn't find a good citation online to back me up
20:46 sekjal request for signoff: bug 7834. needs to get fixed before 3.8
20:46 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7834 critical, P5 - low, ---, katrin.fischer, Needs Signoff , order search at the top of acq does nothing
20:46 jcamins_away sekjal: TAOCP.
20:46 rangi ill sign off today, if no one beats me to it
20:46 sekjal TAOCP?
20:46 sekjal thanks, rangi
20:46 gmcharlt sekjal: re citation, I'm pretty sure it's in PBP
20:47 sekjal gmcharlt: ah. I don't have my copy with me in the office, since I'm not officially doing Perl anymore
20:49 cait sekjal: I found to other evil bugs I marked blocker - not patches yet
20:49 cait to = 2
20:49 jcamins_away The Art of Computer Programming.
20:49 jcamins_away Knuth's magisterial tomes of wisdom.
20:50 sekjal cait: thanks for keeping on top of it. my goal is for us to get all the blockers and criticals taken care of before release time, and as many majors as possible, too
20:50 * jcamins_away got half-way through number two.
20:50 cait I fully agree with these goals
20:50 cait and I would like to see some clean up of the logs
20:50 cait tryin to work on that... but ew. not easy.
20:51 cait for me at least :)
20:52 Space_Librarian jcamins_away - Tomes is the right word
20:52 * jcamins_away heads out for a reception at which TAOCP will probably not come up.
20:53 sekjal time for me to pack up, as well... got to get across the river for Game Night (and route 9 is a bear this time of day)
20:53 sekjal cheers, #koha!
20:54 rangi ok who wants to see something pointless and kinda silly?
20:54 wizzyrea oh me me pick me
20:54 * Space_Librarian puts up hand
20:57 rangi http://ranginui.github.com/git-achievements/
20:57 cjh awesome
20:57 cait lol
20:58 rangi https://github.com/icefox/git-achievements you can make your own pretty easily
20:58 rangi but this bit
20:58 rangi git config --global achievement.upload "true"
20:58 rangi i didnt do it global, and changed the code to only look for local, then i manually do git achievements -p to push it
20:59 Space_Librarian nice! :)
20:59 wizzyrea ohhh
20:59 * wizzyrea would add that to the aliases :P
21:00 wizzyrea that is silly fun.
21:06 rangi yup
21:06 rangi the bit i like is seeing the commands i use a lot
21:06 rangi only started last night
21:06 wizzyrea *nod*
21:06 rangi bz is the winner so far
21:06 wizzyrea oh bz. we can never be mad at you
21:22 YoungPublicLibrarian Hello again everyone!
21:24 cait hi again YoungPublicLibrarian
21:26 eythian hi
21:26 wahanui niihau, eythian
21:26 cait hi eythian
21:26 cait you should fix your chat thing
21:27 cait you filled the logs appearing and disappearing over the weekend :)
21:27 eythian I have, I had a VPN connection that was going spazzy and breaking my connection a lot.
21:27 cait made me feel less lonely... but perhaps you still want to check
21:27 cait ah :)
21:28 eythian at least, that's what I assume was happening
21:39 YoungPublicLibrarian okay, anyone good at making reports? I'm trying to get the report to give me only overdues that are 7 days overdue. Nothing under or over...
21:40 Space_Librarian have you looked at the reports library?
21:41 Space_Librarian http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SQL_Reports_Library
21:43 Space_Librarian specifically http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SQL_Reports_Library#Overdue_materials
21:47 YoungPublicLibrarian yep, but all it has is one report that allows you to input a number of days. But when you do it gives you anything over that specified number of days. It is the Overdues w/ Contact Info report. I need a report that allows you to input a number and have it give you overdues for that specific number of days and nothing else.
21:49 * Space_Librarian checks her report library
21:49 wizzyrea reports library?
21:49 wahanui i guess reports library is found at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SQL_Reports_Library
21:49 eythian it would be pretty easy to adapt I expect
21:49 Space_Librarian It is.
21:50 Space_Librarian wizzyrea: see the link above, hon. :p
21:50 wizzyrea sorry sorry
21:50 Space_Librarian heh
21:50 eythian in fact, change the '>' to '=' will probably do it.
21:51 Space_Librarian YoungPublicLibrarian it was pretty straight forward to get a specific overdue days
21:51 Space_Librarian what eythian said, actually.
21:51 YoungPublicLibrarian Ah okay! I've only had one class in SQL and that was a while ago...Thanks!
21:52 YoungPublicLibrarian ethian, in which report? The Overdues Materials report that was linked or the Overdues w/ Contact Info that I was talking about?
21:52 Space_Librarian YoungPublicLibrarian any of them...
21:55 YoungPublicLibrarian Okay, so in the Overdues /w Contact Info, http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SQL_Reports_Library#Overdues_w.2F_Contact_Info, I would change the '>=' in the WHERE statement to '=' correct?
22:06 Space_Librarian yep
22:17 YoungPublicLibrarian alright! Thanks! Now, is there a way to say two specific number (ex. '7' and '21' days)? or is that asking too much :)?
22:18 Space_Librarian if you find a date range command in one of the other reports, copy that across.
22:18 rangi WHERE something = something AND something = somethingelse
22:18 YoungPublicLibrarian a range would give me everything in between though wouldn't it? I want just overdues for 7 days and overdues for 21 days...
22:19 rangi yep, the above is the exact one
22:19 rangi sorry
22:19 rangi AND should be OR
22:19 rangi it can't be both at once :)
22:19 rangi you might want to wrap it in ( )
22:19 rangi its just like math
22:20 YoungPublicLibrarian ah, okay. Thanks! You guys are awesome!
22:20 rangi brackets evaluate first
22:20 rangi WHERE (something = soething OR something=somethingelse) AND someotherthing = cheese
22:21 YoungPublicLibrarian Okay, this: WHERE issues.branchcode = <<Branch Code>> AND (TO_DAYS(curdate())-TO_DAYS( date_due)) = (<<Days overdue>> OR = <<Days overdue>>) didn't work...I did it wrong didn't I?
22:22 * rangi has had coffee, an easter egg and a blueberry muffin brought to his desk today .. not a bad day back at work after a 4 day weekend
22:23 rangi yeah it wont
22:23 rangi it needs to be
22:24 Space_Librarian rangi++
22:24 rangi ((TO_DAYS(curdate())-TO_DAYS( date_due)) = <<Days overdue>> OR (TO_DAYS(curdate())-TO_DAYS( date_due)) = <<Days overdue2>>)
22:24 rangi (ull want 2 variable so you can choose to different dates)
22:25 rangi you could do it with an IN too
22:25 rangi (TO_DAYS(curdate())-TO_DAYS( date_due) IN (<<Days overdue>>,<<Days overdue2>>)
22:26 * rangi hopes he is helping not confusing
22:26 YoungPublicLibrarian lol, okay rangi, the second one is a bit confusing...but the first one I'll try to get to work...
22:31 YoungPublicLibrarian Okay, that worked! Thank you so much rangi!
22:33 rangi cool
22:33 liw rangi << 32
22:34 liw (how big are karma counters? I hope that didn't overflow)
22:34 rangi heh
22:34 rangi @karma
22:34 huginn` rangi: Highest karma: "rangi" (543), "oleonard" (473), and "wizzyrea" (320). Lowest karma: "<!" (-109), "failed" (-73), and "-" (-44). You (rangi) are ranked 1 out of 2010.
22:35 rangi karma for rangi
22:35 wahanui rangi has karma of 301
22:35 Space_Librarian awesome
22:35 rangi 2 counters, just for dr
22:35 rangi or something :)
22:38 cait rangi++ :)
22:38 YoungPublicLibrarian I have another question if I haven't used up my daily quota :/
22:39 Space_Librarian there's a quota?
22:44 YoungPublicLibrarian lol, just curious, since my questions seem to be a bit in-depth...
22:44 Space_Librarian unless you ask, you won't learn
22:45 YoungPublicLibrarian Okay...is anyone familiar with the mail merge feature of MS Word? I'm trying to use it in conjunction with the csv files downloaded from the report I just created...
22:47 Space_Librarian goodness. That was a long time ago.
22:47 Space_Librarian most of these guys use libreoffice or open office though...
22:50 rangi yeah, havent touched word since hmm 1996
22:52 ibeardslee lucky you
22:54 Space_Librarian lol
22:55 YoungPublicLibrarian Hm...well, my library still uses MS Word...
22:57 * bag wants to see rangi on a surf board…
22:58 rangi heh, its been a long long time
22:58 rangi 91
22:58 * bag expects that he'll say "yeah, havent touched word since hmm 1996"
22:58 bag s/word/surfboard
22:58 rangi 91 :)
22:59 rangi but i never was any good
23:02 bag me either
