22:36 eythian @later tell jcamins the old packages go away when the new ones are pushed. I'm not sure why the 3.2 stuff is there.

22:19 talljoy so my hebrew text in the 880 tags is displaying on the left side of the screen instead of the right side of the screen
22:18 talljoy i know it's late, but does anyone here know how the m880 span class is selected for marc records. I'm reading this.... http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=blob;f=koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/prog/en/xslt/MARC21slim2OPACDetail.xsl;h=f507e11fcd1a160a193d104f81b96ff902d87f73;hb=HEAD and it appears that it looks for the 880 tag in the record. But i have some examples where that is not happening and the span class is not applied.
20:57 wizzyrea see ya later!@
20:57 datadoctor Anyway, I'm heading out for the day. Good luck to all of you with your work. I am enjoying being a fly on the wall as the software gets better and better! Have a great day.
20:56 datadoctor batch receive tool. That way folks who use the current process would not be impacted.
20:55 datadoctor It's very similar to a batch mod feature. Instead of scanning barcodes to select items for the batch, the items will come from parcel.pl. Maybe this could be positioned as a
20:53 datadoctor There is an obvious flow from parcel.pl to orderreceive.pl to finishreceive.pl. I just need to automate that, maybe by combining the relevant processes on one page, then foreach item loop through the receive process.
20:52 datadoctor Thanks cait! Maybe I will have to skip my nap. Sounds like this is just the tip of the iceberg. Might get me started on the work.
20:51 datadoctor Reference can change the lost and damaged settings, but not the shelving location or item type.
20:51 cait datadoctor: the patch is about items - not about titles (orders) - so perhaps it will only make you a bit happier. it's a nice feature :)
20:50 datadoctor We have some custom settings so Reference can use batch modification without stepping on the toes of our Catalogers
20:49 datadoctor We try to streamline our Cataloging and Acquisition process for Tech Services.
20:46 * wizzyrea has used it since 2008 (with a slight detour into Liblime ILS)
20:46 datadoctor We were an early adopter of Koha, and our team expects a lot from us.
20:44 wizzyrea that does make it harder.
20:44 wizzyrea local_code_not_pushed_to_community--
20:44 datadoctor Hoping to get back on with 3.8 and stay up on new developments.
20:44 datadoctor We fell off the update cycle because of custom code.
20:43 datadoctor I'm not sure yet - I will have to try installing the patch first.
20:40 cait cait = kf
20:40 cait datadoctor: ah perhaps we did talk about different things then :)

19:52 rangi Morning
19:51 oleonard Oh, I guess I didn't examine the context carefully enough
19:50 jcamins It's added by the Babeltheque integration.

19:50 jcamins oleonard: I have no idea.
19:49 oleonard Is that part of a secret OPAC gamification project?
19:49 oleonard Bonus? http://catalog.bywatersolutions.com/opac-tmpl/prog/images/bonus.png
19:29 jcamins You're welcome.
19:29 edveal Thanks.
19:29 edveal Yeah that is what I will do!
19:29 jcamins Hm. That's too bad.
19:29 edveal That is not a real location...
19:29 jcamins I generally just use absolute URLs.
19:29 edveal But if I use for example: http://catalog.librarname.com/opac-tmpl/prog/images/cart.gif it does work. This is not a big deal just seems odd.
19:27 edveal jcamins that was the first thing I tried and id didn't work.
19:26 jcamins edveal: that's correct. I think it becomes ../../../images/list.gif, but I'm not sure.
19:25 cait it could be in message_queue then
19:25 cait do you put it in the notices? the cardnumber?
19:25 cait oh
19:25 cait if you kept the pdfs perhaps
19:25 cait but I don't think there is more than the borrowernumber referenced there too hm
19:24 oleonard No, why?
19:24 cait oleonard: are you printing patron cards?
19:24 edveal All I can think is that because I am doing this using the OpacUserCSS the path is not the same anymore.
19:24 cait oleonard: I have to agree with jcamins I think :(
19:24 edveal OK, I am trying to change the color of the "Cart" button and every time I do the cart icon goes away. I can get it back by simply putting the full url in the css but when I use background-image: url("../../images/list.gif") the image breaks.
19:23 jcamins oleonard: I don't think so, no.
19:22 oleonard Is there a super-secret way to find out a patron's old card number even if logs aren't enabled?
19:15 wizzyrea srdjan++
19:14 cait and hi wizzyrea :)
19:14 cait lots of iterations
19:14 cait srdjan :)
19:12 wizzyrea that is epiiic
19:12 wizzyrea ++ to whoever added that "don't show these fields on the borrower entry field" and then provided a link to the schema with the borrower fields.
19:08 jcamins wizzyrea: I'm betting they missed the bug they were going for.
19:07 wizzyrea wow, 4173 marked fixed, by someone from ptfs-e
18:11 melia ok oleonard. will do.
18:11 oleonard Bug 4173 was marked as fixed without any comment which seems perfunctory.

18:10 oleonard melia: I recommend re-opening Bug 4173 and adding your comment from Bug 8093 there. I don't think the issue of Lost descriptions was resolved at all.
18:07 datadoctor I think my favorite PERL is the page numbering for large tables...so that you can jump to page 15!
18:06 datadoctor And I am amazed...and confused sometimes...
18:06 datadoctor You really test its flexibility!
18:06 cait heh
18:06 jcamins datadoctor: have you *seen* some of the things we do with Perl? :P
18:05 datadoctor Where logic reigns!
18:05 datadoctor Except in PERL
18:05 datadoctor ;)
18:05 datadoctor I may adopt that as my philosophy; "There is no logic whatsoever." ;^)
18:03 jcamins (I mean, it simply does the replace in every instance)
18:02 cait they are tt templates
18:02 jcamins There is no logic whatsoever.
18:02 cait the templats themselves don't get translated
18:02 jcamins smeagol: I think it's simply a matter of "tmpl" being replaced with "tt".
18:02 cait telling it: if there is tmpl make it tt
18:02 cait smeagol: I think there is not much coe, perhaps a line or 2
18:02 smeagol Right, I just wanted to see the code where (or perhaps, how) it's being "redirected"...that's all. and thanks.
18:01 oleonard In older scripts it says ".tmpl" but Koha has been modified to redirect those to .tt files
18:00 oleonard smeagol: You can find examples in the code of perl scripts which point to .tt files too
17:59 smeagol Yeah. I understand that, I just would like to see how the system translates it, that's all. (like a path, or something). So if I add a new template, i should refer to .tt file instead of trying to translate it, i guess...
17:57 oleonard It's just a remnant of the old system smeagol. The 'tmpl' gets translated to 'tt'
17:56 smeagol Not sure why it's referring to .tmpl in the code. Shouldn't it be referring to stage-marc-import.tt...???
17:55 oleonard It's just a remnant of the old system smeagol. The 'tmpl' gets translated to 'tt'
17:54 smeagol Then what is stage-marc-import.pl referring to in the koha community code here then?: "my ($template, $loggedinuser, $cookie) = get_template_and_user({template_name => "tools/stage-marc-import.tmpl"
17:54 cait yes, you should
17:53 slef I really must go get dinner
17:53 cait yes it is :)
17:53 slef yikes it's cait!
17:50 mtj afaik - the .tmpl files are not translated on the fly, they are replaced by .tt files - in koha-3.4
17:48 jcamins Only .tt.
17:48 jcamins smeagol: there are no .tmpl files starting in 3.4.
17:47 smeagol Hi all. Upon installation of Koha 3.4, .tmpl files are translated into .tt files on the fly. My question is, where are the .tmpl files stored (or referred to) in Koha? Is there a way to see the files, or path to where the files were translated, or to which they refer? thanks.

17:09 datadoctor !!! ;)
17:09 kf editing the prices right in the table might be nice :)
17:09 datadoctor Thanks kf! I may have more questions as I work on this
17:09 kf although sometime in the future...
17:09 kf yep
17:09 datadoctor with a "Receive All Checked"
17:08 datadoctor I'm digging into it, checkboxes seems like the appropriate solution
17:08 kf it's a nice idea
17:08 kf yep, checkboxes perhaps
17:08 datadoctor They can see the prices in table, and cross-check the grand total with the invoice
17:08 kf perhaps with an editable table... that would be nice
17:07 kf datadoctor: I think people want to check the prices
17:07 datadoctor Looks like a feature I need to work on. We are wasting several hours each week, going through order tables and clicking "Receive" when a "Receive All" button would solve this.
17:07 jcamins Okay, I have implemented three different types of caches, and memcached includes an L1 in-process memory cache.
17:06 datadoctor makes sense for multiple items
17:06 datadoctor Or in this case, as there is one item per title on my current invoice, all of the titles at once?
17:06 kf datadoctor: but if you order more than one item for a given title, you can receive those at once or partially
17:06 kf datadoctor: no, you can't receive more than one order at once
17:05 datadoctor Is there a way to receive all of those items at once? I'm still a version behind on Koha.
17:04 datadoctor selecting "receive"
17:04 datadoctor Pending orders requires us to click on each item, by
17:03 datadoctor Then we see two tables; "pending orders" and "already received"
17:03 datadoctor Or uses the pull-down "Receive Shipments" on the Vendor page
17:01 datadoctor Then the next station looks up the vendor, finds the basket and selects "Receive Shipment"
17:01 datadoctor I'm thinking maybe my workflow is wrong? We create the basket, create the title / record, then add an item with a barcode.
17:00 kf datadoctor: in baskets you see the ordered titles, and the order can be for more than one item (trying to explain what I meant to say :) )
16:59 datadoctor They are in a basket, stored as pending orders, until we click the item to receive it.
16:58 datadoctor These are new items, but we have already created a record, so that patrons can place advance holds.
16:57 kf datadoctor: items yes, if you ordered more than one of a title. Titles - no
16:57 datadoctor I'm having an Acquisitions problem. Is there a way to receive multiple items on an invoice without having to click "Receive" on each item?

15:52 kf checking
15:52 oleonard kf: Actually looking at Templates.pm it looks like [% lang %] might be available?
15:50 kf thx .)
15:50 kf hm that might still help
15:50 oleonard kf: I don't know if there's a variable just for the language
15:50 oleonard kf: Usually the templates use "[% themelang %]"
15:49 magnus_afk jcamins: yeah, that is the main problem. you can do something like search for a title and if there is one result, accept that or let a human choose if there are multiple hits
15:47 kf I want to find out in the templates which language is currently selected
15:47 kf can someone point me in the right direction?
15:47 kf sigh
15:39 jcamins I mean, I get that it's easier to connect identifiers in a triplestore, but there is still the fundamental issue that the data in the MARC record isn't particularly usable for automatically identifying which movie the record describes.
15:38 jcamins magnus_afk: I'm still having trouble figuring out where that comes from.
15:38 magnus_afk not into the marc, but into the triplestore - no problem :-)
15:35 jcamins magnus_afk: how do you get those into your data?
15:35 magnus_afk jcamins: use URIs from dbpedia, linkedmdb, freebase
15:34 jcamins magnus_afk: last I checked, there was still no useful way to identify a movie.
15:34 magnus_afk hdl: for movies? not really. wikipedia/dbpedia might have some. and freebase
15:34 jcamins magnus_afk: right, but you still have to have some sort of useful identifier in the data.
15:34 magnus_afk jcamins, kf: the solution to that is simple: convert MARC to RDF and store the data in the tripestore, forget about the MARC data and enrich the data in the in triplestore as much as you like :-)
15:23 hdl magnus_afk: do you have any datasource for cover ?
15:22 jcamins kf: that would be very nice, but doesn't eliminate the underlying problem of needing someone to enter that data.
15:22 kf that would open lots of nice possibilities
15:22 kf I think having a lookup table outside of the marc record would be nice... :) - or even better a possibliity to save fields from being overwriitten on marc import...
15:22 jcamins kf: unfortunately there is no other option.
15:21 kf jcamins: your solution will not work for people who can not add the data to their records (like union catalog users) :(
15:20 jcamins magnus_afk: that was not an entirely tongue-in-cheek suggestion.
15:19 jcamins magnus_afk: I don't disagree with you.
15:19 magnuse oleonard, jcamins, wizzyrea: yeah, but we're gonna have to do it if we want something better than what we have today, and it can be automated to some extent :-)
14:54 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8009 trivial, P5 - low, ---, ruth, Needs Signoff , Item descriptive data not populated on pay.pl
14:54 jcamins Bug 8009
14:53 jcamins Yeah, that's the problem.
14:53 oleonard wizzyrea: And just real quick add all the data for the existing collection
14:53 jcamins wizzyrea: make the copy catalogers enter it?
14:47 wizzyrea also, how would we get the IMDB id in our records.
14:47 wizzyrea can that possibly be legal
14:24 hdl http://www.deanclatworthy.com/imdb/
14:23 kf shelf
14:23 kf gamal: there are no special options for closed stacks - but I think what you want is AllowOnShelfHolds - allowing holds on items on the sehfl
14:23 wahanui OK, oleonard.
14:23 oleonard wahanui: Your imdb plugin is out of date. 404.
14:22 wahanui buckaroo banzai can be found at http://www.imdb.com/M/title-substring?title=buckaroo+banzai&type=fuzzy
14:22 oleonard imdb buckaroo banzai
14:22 magnuse huh?
14:22 wahanui data is very proprietary... can be found at http://www.imdb.com/M/title-substring?title=data+is+very+proprietary...&type=fuzzy
14:22 magnuse imdb data is very proprietary...
14:21 gamal does anyone know of any links about how to configure Koha on closed-stack libraries?
14:21 gamal hi everyone
14:21 hdl jcamins: wizzyrea would imdb be a solution ?
14:21 wizzyrea hehe
14:21 magnuse semantikoha, perhaps?
14:20 jcamins wizzyrea: always a problem.
14:20 oleonard wizzyrea: Are you guys using Amazon for covers?
14:20 * kf has none
14:20 * oleonard wants a solution too
14:19 wizzyrea covers for videos - always a problem or does anybody have a great solution for that
13:53 francharb ;)
13:53 francharb perfect
13:53 francharb nengard, :)
13:42 nengard francharb - http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=kohadocs.git;a=commitdiff;h=48fd5838109af3e89638ac7f82d2ff03b95d3d3c
13:38 wizzyrea i feel much happier now looking at koha in chrome. :P
13:37 magnuse yay!
13:37 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7998 critical, P5 - low, ---, wizzyrea, Pushed to Stable , 3.8 UI cleanup, tweaks to new styles
13:37 * wizzyrea is glad to see bug 7998 made it in
13:33 magnuse kia ora hdl
13:31 hdl magnuse:
13:31 hdl hi wizzyrea ma
13:29 * magnuse waves back too
13:28 * jcamins waves back.
13:28 * wizzyrea waves
13:26 hdl jcamins: agreed
13:21 jcamins hdl: mmap would offer us the ability to share an in-memory cache on the same computer, thus eliminating the problem of stale (variable) caches in different FastCGI threads.
13:20 jcamins hdl: sorry, stepped away. Anyway, MySQL can cache the sysprefs about as efficiently, and it's not an expensive db call.
13:20 nengard I would say 9:15, but that's not what's happening
13:20 nengard I don't follow. My computer says it's 9:15am, Koha went offline at 8:15, what time should be in the log?
13:18 francharb guess it depends on your computer
13:18 nengard the time is wrong :)
13:18 nengard soooo.....
13:18 francharb hehe
13:18 francharb right
13:17 nengard but koha is offline
13:17 nengard hmm
13:17 francharb it's related to koha, not the plugin itself
13:17 francharb nengard, good question
13:17 nengard time is going to matter with hourly loans, that's why I ask
13:17 nengard francharb what time is the plugin using? It's 9:15am here but my log says 13: something .. I can't make the column any wider in the plugin to see the whole time
13:03 magnuse kf: not sure if [%% does anything special - can't remember seeing it before
12:51 hdl jcamins: yep... This I know.
12:51 jcamins hdl: the reason behind using memcached is scalability.
12:50 hdl But nm
12:50 hdl jcamins... I think I have not understood what you meant.
12:50 francharb kf, I need to test it on the previous version
12:49 kf ok
12:49 kf ah
12:49 francharb kf, I tested it on the master 3.8
12:49 francharb kf, hehe
12:49 kf francharb: ah sorry, meant the koha version!
12:48 jcamins (using starman's memory sharing)
12:48 francharb ;)
12:48 francharb kf, I let you know once I did it
12:48 jcamins The cache would still be stale.
12:47 jcamins With mmap, we can resolve the problems that come up with that option.
12:47 francharb but kf, I tested it on firefox 3.6 (some time ago), firefox 7 (last week during a training session) and 12 to work on the documentation (but I had to edit something within the plugin itself) so I should test it again. maybe, we need to update the conf file in the plugin on the firefox addon page
12:47 pastebot "hdl" at 88.190.23.136 pasted "Specific options related to memory sharing" (18 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/398
12:47 jcamins And we don't get a lot more scalability for the overhead and latency.
12:46 jcamins I think for a single syspref query, querying the DB is just as efficient as querying memcached.
12:46 hdl perldoc starman
12:45 jcamins hdl: I think it's better to use mmap.
12:45 jcamins hdl: because the idea behind memcached is to move the cache off-server.
12:45 paul_p hdl share memory ? really ? any URL ? (that would be awesome !!!)
12:45 francharb kf, I need to do some testing
12:44 hdl So that could be a false problem
12:44 hdl But i think it is possible to share memory between threads in starman.
12:44 francharb nengard, sure!
12:44 hdl paul_p: jcamins why sysprefs memcaching could be desired would be in order to share one syspref caching between multiple koha instances (for instance in starman)...
12:44 kf francharb: can you say something about the version the plugin works with?
12:44 nengard hehe
12:43 nengard cause I do like it
12:43 nengard so you might want to put the fun one on the wiki
12:43 francharb you made my day
12:43 nengard for the manual I might have to edit some of the fun text (like saying to breathe :) )
12:43 francharb :)
12:43 kf francharb++ :)
12:43 francharb glad it helps
12:43 nengard thank you!
12:43 francharb thank you nengard!
12:43 francharb :)
12:43 nengard I'll add it to the manual
12:43 nengard This is the first time I ever got that plugin to work :)
12:43 nengard I just read and used the offline circ doc!!
12:42 nengard francharb++
12:41 kf I think from the start page
12:41 kf magnuse: it showed up in translations for 3.8.1
12:41 kf magnuse: so [%% shouldn't do something useful?
12:37 paul_p jcamins I agree that sysprefs in memcache is a non-sense
12:35 magnuse http://template-toolkit.org/docs/manual/Syntax.html#section_Comments
12:34 magnuse with the # being the important part
12:34 magnuse i think tt comments look like [%# bla bla %] ?
12:13 dgl-library Hi oleonard
12:12 oleonard Hi #koha
12:11 jcamins Not sure, sorry.
12:08 kf [%% IF ( ( CAN_user_tools_moderate_comments && pendingcomments ) || ( CAN_user_tools_moderate_tags && pendingtags ) || ( CAN_user_acquisition && pendingsuggestions ) ) %%] - is this a tt comment?
12:05 jcamins At least that's my analysis.
12:03 jcamins What we really want is a shared memory cache.
12:03 jcamins http://search.cpan.org/~jswartz/CHI-0.52/lib/CHI.pm
12:03 jcamins At least, I don't think it does.
12:03 magnuse CHI?
12:02 jcamins It doesn't make sense to put the syspref cache in memcached.
12:02 jcamins Then we should convert Koha::Cache to use CHI.
12:02 jcamins I think once 7248 is pushed, the next thing is to get the first patch (only) on 8089 pushed.
11:59 magnuse caching++ :-)
11:59 jcamins I don't have any feelings on what the API for Koha::*::Systempreferences should look like, so I didn't do any work on that.
11:58 jcamins If we prepopulate the entire hash, it's equivalent to your suggestion.
11:58 kf jcamins++ for work on caching :)
11:57 kf ^^
11:57 jcamins paul_p: kf is referring to my suggestion that we prepopulate the entire hash.
11:57 paul_p i'll do some benchmarking
11:56 paul_p kf not exactly = retrieving a systempreference one by one is different to retrieving/setting a hash of all sysprefs. I prefer the later, jcamins made the former in his patch
11:56 dgl-library jcamins: thanks for the suggestions. I'll file a bug. unfortunately I don't know enough about javascript to make it happen on my own.
11:56 paul_p jcamins I agree with the idea of prepopulate the entire cache
11:55 kf and it does what paul wants, right? keep them all in cache at once?
11:55 kf jcamins: that sounds awesome
11:55 jcamins That way, the cache will always be up-to-date.
11:53 jcamins My feeling is that we should preopulate the entire cache, and then have set_preference update it.
11:52 jcamins paul_p: that would also be an option, but the cache we have right now is value-by-value.
11:48 paul_p jcamins = about the syspref caching, I really think we must cache all the sysprefs at once. So the best solution is, according to me, to work on Koha::DataAccess::systempreferences and Koha::Business::systempreferences. With caching made value by value, we will loose all perf improvements, and perhaps even slow things ! As any page requires a lot of systempreferences, it's much better to cache everything at once
11:43 jcamins I also wrote the syspref cache.
11:36 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7248 enhancement, P3, ---, chrish, Signed Off , Caching for services
11:36 jcamins So once bug 7248 is QAed, I can set 8089 to needs sign off, and we can get the caching fixed.
11:36 jcamins That seemed like the thing to do. :)
11:34 jcamins I started out using your second follow up, but in conversation we modified the Koha::Cache API yesterday, so I ended up writing a new patch and copying your test plan.
11:33 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8089 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, NEW , Use Koha::Cache everywhere
11:33 jcamins So I wrote a patch and attached it to bug 8089 to replace all existing caching with Koha::Cache.
11:32 jcamins We should use Koha::Cache directly instead of any sort of memoize for caching.
11:32 jcamins We shouldn't use it.
11:32 jcamins I now understand how memoize works.
11:32 jcamins paul_p: I spent some time working on memoize_koha.
11:31 mib_gt43jz Any help regarding email settings in koha 3.6
11:30 paul_p (back from lunch)
11:30 paul_p jcamins yep, i'm here
10:52 jcamins paul_p: around?
10:51 jcamins Unfortunately, I don't think that will actually do what you want.
10:48 jcamins dgl-library: you could probably use some javascript to create a link straight to a listing of personal name authorities.
10:42 jcamins dgl-library: you can file a bug at bugs.koha-community.org.
10:38 dgl-library Good afternoon!
10:38 jcamins Good morning.
10:37 dgl-library so how do I file an enhancement request?
10:17 mib_uf9sii okay sir thanks
10:17 rangi ahh, sorry don't have any more help, it's all in there
10:16 mib_uf9sii yes sir
10:16 rangi and you have read the manual?
10:15 mib_uf9sii actually i have set the new framework but after that i am stuck up please help
10:14 mib_uf9sii ok
10:14 kf I have no idea what you want to do - and all the possibilities are explained in the manual
10:14 rangi http://www.koha-community.org/documentation
10:14 kf your question is very general
10:14 mib_uf9sii help me to set preferences in marc framework
10:13 mib_uf9sii thanks
10:12 mib_uf9sii ok
10:12 kf you will find some documentation there
10:12 wahanui manual is probably at http://www.koha-community.org/documentation
10:12 kf manual?
10:12 mib_uf9sii please help me set preferences in marc framework
10:11 mib_uf9sii please help me to set marc frameworks
10:09 mib_uf9sii how to do settings in marc framework
10:08 wahanui bugs is found at http://bugs.koha-community.org. Please fix any bugs you find. :) or reporting them is helpful, too.
10:08 kf bugs?
10:02 kf dgl-library: I hope there will be some work done on authorities in the near future... perhaps file an enhancement request?
10:00 dgl-library kf: thanks, that's OK, I appreciate your trying! it seems Koha isn't set up to do that simply as of now.
09:37 kf dgl-library: hm sorry, bit out of ideas how to do what you want
09:28 kf but there are tricks normally... hm.
09:28 kf no blank won't
09:28 dgl-library a blank search for authors doesn't work. it was a good suggestion, though.
09:26 dgl-library kf: didn't know that. let me try.
09:26 kf and saving thatlink?
09:26 kf have you tried a search in the authority browser for authors?
09:25 kf you can normally save every link
09:24 dgl-library I'm able to create a report on authors… seems like there should be a way to create an OPAC link to authors
09:24 dgl-library no ideas?
09:07 dgl-library it seems confusing, from a user point of view, to have authors and subjects mixed in a single list
09:07 dgl-library can't I create a link like that to an author list?
09:06 dgl-library right now the "Browse by author or subject" link links to http://……/cgi-bin/koha/opac-authorities-home.pl
09:06 dgl-library hm.
09:05 kf I think that's the only thing you can do
09:05 kf you can limit the search to different authority types
09:04 dgl-library Is there a way to separate the Authority lists, so users can Browse by Author and Browse by Subject… separately?
08:53 dgl-library hope so!
08:51 * magnuse hopes others will contribute with their favourites
08:48 magnuse my pleasure
08:48 dgl-library thanks magnuse for setting that up
08:47 dgl-library hadn't seen that wiki link
08:46 dgl-library :)
08:42 magnuse probably not a coincidence :-)
08:40 kf hm there ia mail on the list about this right now
08:38 magnuse not much there yet, but it's a start...
08:37 magnuse dgl-library: have you seen http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Gallery_of_customized_OPACs ?
08:27 dgl-library I'd like to know what interesting things people here have done with the customizable HTML areas… please feel free to show off by sharing links to your OPACs
08:25 rangi yep, and only works for french libraries
08:25 dgl-library OpacBrowser brings up a link called "Browse by Hierarchies"
08:25 dgl-library you're right
08:23 rangi dgl-library: thats something else, the opac authorities one that kf and magnuse said is the one to use
08:23 dgl-library OpacAuthorities allows patrons to search your authority records
08:23 dgl-library but how do I run that cron? misc/cronjobs/build_browser_and_cloud.pl in a terminal window?
08:23 rangi thats another one
08:22 dgl-library "Allow/Disallow patrons to browse subject authorities on OPAC (run misc/cronjobs/build_browser_and_cloud.pl to create the browser list)
08:22 dgl-library looks like it's OpacBrowser
08:18 magnuse (no surprise there!)
08:18 magnuse yup, kf is right, opacauthorities it is
08:18 dgl-library kf: thanks, I'll check
08:18 kf a search for "auth" should bring the right one up
08:17 kf dgl-library: it's controlled by a system preference :)
08:17 cjh guess I havent spoken in here for a while...
08:17 cjh heh I just recieved a huginn message from 2 weeks ago.
08:17 magnuse http://head.bibkat.no/cgi-bin/koha/opac-authorities-home.pl
08:17 kf opacauthorities I think
08:17 magnuse it's been on as default in my installations, i think
08:17 dgl-library hmm
08:17 magnuse hm, maybe there is a syspref for it?
08:17 dgl-library I don't see that.
08:16 dgl-library yes, I mean "Browse by author or subject"
08:16 cjh dgl-library: do you mean searching by subjects or authors?
08:16 magnuse dgl-library: "Browse by author or subject"?
08:16 dgl-library Isn't there a screen in the OPAC that's for browsing subjects, browsing authors, browsing titles, etc. ? Our OPAC only shows Search.
08:09 druthb "Branch" is "bov", title is "jusl", "item record" is "ut rol"
08:08 magnuse heh
08:08 druthb I could see using Esperanto or Speedwords as a locale-agnostic way of working on the translation tools for all LTR languages.
08:07 druthb magnuse: not likely, but one might hope. or even https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutton_Speedwords. Speedwords would be a bandwith-saver: "the library" becomes "l rybu."
08:04 magnuse druthb: maybe there are some esperanto librarians that could be interested in doing a translation?
08:00 kf a brownie, cheesecake and half a butter bretzel - not bad for a short walk around the house :)
07:59 kf hm
07:55 druthb (or even better, Klingon.)
07:53 druthb I've thought it'd be neat as heck to have an Esperanto translation.
07:52 druthb :D
07:52 druthb ar-AR?
07:51 rangi heh
07:50 * magnuse hopes rangi is doing nb-NO translating ;-)
07:49 * rangi does some translating

06:19 magnuse Oak
06:18 Oak magnuse
06:17 magnuse hiya druthb
06:16 druthb hi, magnuse! :D
06:12 dgl-library OPAC looks nice now!
06:12 * magnuse waves
06:00 huginn druthb: The operation succeeded.
06:00 druthb @later tell jcamins The first-draft patch for the staff side of bug 8061 is up! I expect you'll find lots of tweaks yet to do.
05:39 cait :)
05:36 dgl-library however this format works: url(../../opac-tmpl/prog/images/Librarylogo-trans.png)
05:31 dgl-library it seems that the same path url(../../images/my-logo.gif) doesn't work there
05:31 dgl-library ok, I updated the opacusercss
05:31 druthb o/
05:17 dgl-library thanks … stay tuned for the answer :)
05:17 Oak :)
05:17 cait good luck :)
05:17 dgl-library let's see… I'll give it a try right now and find out… :)
05:17 cait I never tried :)
05:17 cait hm, might work without
05:16 dgl-library in opacusercss?
05:16 dgl-library ok, so do I still need to use the opacsmallimage preference if I'm changing h1#libraryname { background:transparent url(../../images/koha-logo.gif)
05:15 cait because when you use a file and are working with translated templates, you have to put the file in the directories of each language
05:14 cait in my experience opacusercss system preference works best
05:14 cait but you don't have to
05:14 dgl-library thanks Oak, you did indeed
05:14 cait you can
05:14 cait no
05:14 dgl-library no need to have a separate stylesheet, cait?
05:14 dgl-library ah!!
05:13 dgl-library ok, but same question about the path to opacusercss
05:13 Oak i helped \o/
05:13 Oak yup
05:13 cait the systempreference :)
05:13 Oak yup
05:13 cait putit in opacusercss
05:13 dgl-library I'd rather use custom.css
05:13 cait yes, but don't modify it there
05:13 dgl-library you're saying to modify opac.css, but I think that's problematic because opac.css will get overwritten when we upgrade
05:13 Oak make it background:transparent url(../../images/my-logo.gif);
05:13 Oak yup
05:12 dgl-library background:transparent url(../../images/koha-logo.gif)
05:12 Oak then just upload your logo where default logo is, and change the name of image in opac.css
05:12 cait not sure you can give opacsmallimage a relative url
05:12 Oak just ctrl-f the opac.css and look for the current default logo's path.
05:12 cait hm
05:11 dgl-library thanks Oak. the first thing I'm trying to do is replace the Koha logo in the OPAC with ours. I have to provide a full (absolute) URL starting with http:// etc, but we're running on a local network whose IP address (at this stage of development) still changes from time to time. any way around that? and if not, if I put the logo where the default logo is, in /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/prog/images … what's the url?
05:10 Oak but ask anyway
05:09 Oak wait, depends on the question
05:09 Oak yes dgl-library ask away
05:07 dgl-library hi cait :)
05:06 cait hi dgl-library :)
05:06 dgl-library Can anyone answer a question about customizing the CSS of the OPAC?
05:05 dgl-library hi #koha

03:42 druthb nope. I leave here early friday morning, get home late-late that evening.

03:08 jcamins Good night.
03:08 * jcamins goes to bed anyway.
03:08 jcamins Hm. Lousy subject line. It replaces all extant caching.
03:08 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8089 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, NEW , Use Koha::Cache everywhere
03:08 jcamins rangi: bug 8089.
02:56 jcamins keys %hash
02:54 jcamins How do I check if a hash has any keys?
02:35 * jcamins caches sysprefs, because... why not?
02:24 jcamins I successfully cached kohaconf with Koha::Cache!
02:24 jcamins Woohoo!
02:18 jcamins Since C4::Context uses the cache.
02:18 jcamins It would create a circular dependency.
02:18 jcamins Okay, here's the problem with having Koha::Cache use system preferences.
02:04 jcamins Oh my.
01:48 jcamins Hm. It's optional.
01:46 jcamins So if I have a sub import, that sub is called by use Koha::Cache::Memoize;
01:44 * jcamins ponders the reasoning behind having error flags that aren't ever set anywhere, no matter what.
01:41 jcamins And I call $_ "a disaster that was waiting to happen until I came along."
01:40 jcamins However, what Perl calls objects I call "unexpected."
01:39 jcamins rangi: actually, I get OO.
01:39 rangi :)
01:39 jcamins rangi: thanks, I was just reading that too.
01:39 rangi That's about all there is to it. Now you need just to go off and buy a book about object-oriented design methodology, and bang your forehead with it for the next six months or so.
01:39 rangi http://perldoc.perl.org/perlobj.html#Destructors <-- fyi
01:38 rangi :)
01:38 rangi }
01:38 rangi undef $self;
01:38 rangi my $self = shift;
01:38 rangi sub DESTROY {
01:37 jcamins Ah, if I explicitly set $cache to undef, that'll be good enough for me.
01:37 rangi well you write a destructor called DESTROY and perl will use it, maybe look at Object::Destroyer
01:36 jcamins delete $cache?
01:36 jcamins $cache->DESTROY?
01:36 jcamins DESTROY $cache?
01:35 rangi DESTROY
01:35 jcamins Okay, how do I destroy an object?
01:34 rangi destroy the object would probably do it
01:34 rangi no idea
01:34 jcamins Right.
01:34 rangi ah, not destroy the cache, just your connection to it?
01:34 jcamins No, that clears the cache.
01:33 rangi flush ?
01:33 jcamins When connecting directly to memcached, I do disconnect_all.
01:33 jcamins I need to implement UNTIE.
01:33 rangi in what context?
01:32 jcamins rangi: any idea how to destroy a Cache?
01:09 jcamins setup(%{$memcached_args}, memoized_function => $function) <= that passes a single hash to setup, right?
01:07 rangi i find them quite readable
01:07 jcamins rangi: you prefer using colons as separators?
00:59 papa that will help you with Koha, but not with C4 :)
00:57 * jcamins learns about use fields
00:57 jcamins Cool!
00:55 papa yes
00:55 jcamins If $self->{key_error} is false, it returns null, right?
00:55 jcamins papa: rangi: if either of you have a moment, I need confirmation about what this line does: return unless $self->{key_error};
00:51 jcamins Yes.
00:50 rangi perhaps
00:50 jcamins Something to do with tying?
00:49 jcamins FIRSTKEY, NEXTKEY, etc.
00:48 jcamins Any idea where these various subs come from?
00:37 jcamins :)
00:37 rangi been 3 years since :)
00:37 rangi hehe
00:37 rangi oh maybe i did
00:36 jcamins Wait... expire_time => 600
00:34 jcamins Okay, I'll do some expiry stuff.
00:31 rangi im not wedded to it
00:31 jcamins Okay.
00:31 rangi and i wanted ppl to conciously decide how long they wanted to cache things
00:31 rangi some things, like cached html fragments dont change, no harm in keeping them forever
00:30 rangi nope, unless you set one, things won't expire (by design really, memcached and others will drop things from the cache if they need the space and they havent been used)
00:22 Judit good morning
00:06 jcamins rangi: does Koha::Cache have a default expiration length?
