06:28 alex_a         Salut Oak !
06:33 drojf          good morning #koha
07:03 WaqarAzeem     Hello! Along with Perl... is there any framework is also used? like python with django for web apps.
07:07 alex_a         WaqarAzeem: You mean with koha ?
07:07 alex_a         WaqarAzeem: hello
07:12 WaqarAzeem     yeah!
07:15 WaqarAzeem     Perl used as the programming language for Koha. I am wondering how to setup an local environment to play around with it.
07:17 alex_a         WaqarAzeem: I'm not sure to understand your question :s
07:18 WaqarAzeem     it's ok
07:20 alex_a         Okay!
07:20 alex_a         :)
07:22 alex_a         WaqarAzeem: It would be nice to make koha works on a framework such as perl Dancer i.e. But i've tried to do this and it's very hard !
07:22 alex_a         :)
07:33 WaqarAzeem     nice effort...

08:20 rangi          can i get a test please, www.library.org.nz working ok?
08:21 drojf          website is loading. anything else to try?
08:21 rangi          nope thats all i needed
08:21 drojf          76508 results for a search for "a"
08:21 drojf          ok
08:21 rangi          (been shifting servers)

08:48 drojf          hm. it appears my solar charge controller does not give out enough current on the usb connection to power the raspberry pi. still no self sustaining koha in a box :(
08:48 rangi          :(
08:50 drojf          fun fact: each progress bar in the process of staging and importing marc records via tools in koha seems to be broken in a different way
08:51 rangi          hmm all comcast ppl have been suspended for excessive bounces, 9 of them
08:52 rangi          however the one that is still bouncing must be subscribed under something else, and that address redirects
08:53 drojf          tricky
08:54 drojf          could that be found in the email headers somewhere maybe?
08:54 rangi          yep found it eventually

08:57 rangi          ahhh
08:57 rangi          how long before the workshop starts?
08:58 eythian        Setting up now, probably in 5-10
08:58 drojf          late? deutsche bahn? never!
08:59 rangi          good luck
09:02 eythian        drojf: we determined that it was your fault

09:11 Barrc1         Morning..... I am starting to look at publishing multiple OPACs (limited to library, CSS unique etc) and wondering if this is just a straight forward virtualhost config? Anyone have any gotchas or experience with this!?
09:12 drojf          Barrc1: multiple opacs for one database? or multiple koha installations?
09:13 Barrc1         drojf: Multiple for one Koha instance (sorry, should have been clearer!)
09:17 drojf          i think you can create several instances of koha using the same db. having just one koha instance with multiple opacs sounds not like something you can achieve easily. but that's more my feeling, i never thought about doing that. maybe others have some ideas
09:20 Barrc1         it looks like you can set overrides in the virtual hosts and use host headers to resolve to the correct site - seems straight forward but I haven't tried it yet!
09:35 * magnuse      wishes eythian and kf the best of luck - have fun!
09:45 drojf          kf is not even logged in to the irc. serious business

10:13 magnuse        anything above 15 is good
10:15 drojf          heh. i like how people cope with that. when i've been to umeå everybody was running around in tshirts when it was 15°. they celebrate the summer they get :)

13:51 oleonard       Hi wizzyrea
13:59 nengard        does anyone know if the new routing lists tab on the patron record in master is controlled by a preference? does it go away if you have no routing lists?
13:59 * nengard      is working on the manual again
14:00 oleonard       It doesn't go away if you have no routing lists
14:00 oleonard       I'm guessing it's not controlled by a pref because I didn't turn one on and I see the tab.
14:01 oleonard       And it violates capitalization guidelines :P
14:02 * oleonard     wishes, again, for serials sample data
14:09 nengard        oleonard i can give you my serials ?
14:10 oleonard       nengard: I would gratefully accept
14:11 nengard        it's not much

14:24 eythian        no wahanui, slides is kf has written her slides.
14:24 wahanui        okay, eythian.

15:05 drojf          can i skip MARC21 field 100 etc if i make a dummy entry to hang other biblios on? or will MARC come to get me?
15:05 jcamins_away   drojf: 1xx fields are optional.
15:06 drojf          cool, thanks jcamins_away
15:06 drojf          btw, you are not really away
15:07 jcamins_away   drojf: sort of away. What are you trying to do?
15:07 oleonard       He is drojf, but he's shouting from far away
15:07 drojf          lol oleonard
15:08 reiveune1      bye
15:09 drojf          jcamins_away: we have dvds with several titles. i want to have a parent titled "dvd XY" or something and link the "real" titles of the videos to the parent. so the parent has one item, the children have none, so people know they cannot get "video a" if it is on the same disk as "video b" and that disk is borrowed. does that make sense?
15:09 jcamins_away   Yes, what does the 1xx have to do with anything?
15:10 jcamins_away   You're describing analytics.
15:10 jcamins_away   And specifically the EasyAnalytics use case.
15:11 drojf          i try to keep the parent as minimal as possible. since there is not a single author for all the videos, i would prefer to have none for the parent. and was wondering wether that would make marc mad
15:11 wizzyrea       drojf: that was the way koha was originally designed, until we put MARC in and broke it.
15:11 wizzyrea       :(
15:11 wizzyrea       (as I understand it)
15:11 jcamins_away   Got it.
15:11 jcamins_away   drojf: that's the correct way to do things.
15:12 wizzyrea       NEKLS has a similar problem with things like TV series DVD's
15:12 jcamins_away   But use EasyAnalytics to make the patrons happy.
15:12 wizzyrea       some of our libraries split up the sets
15:12 wizzyrea       and it was confusing for patrons
15:12 wizzyrea       when they had items on the same set
15:12 wizzyrea       for different discs
15:13 wizzyrea       because since we don't allow item specific holds, they would request a hold for Breaking Bad (for example) and be wanting disc 2, but they would get disc 1 because they couldn't specify which disc to get.
15:13 wizzyrea       very, very frustrating for patrons.
15:13 drojf          jcamins_away: the data is not even in koha yet. as long as i get it in "somehow" I am happy, that might have to be enough happiness :D
15:13 wizzyrea       so we finally cataloged them all separately
15:13 wizzyrea       breaking bad, season one, disk 1
15:14 wizzyrea       disc*
15:14 wizzyrea       <items>
15:14 oleonard       wizzyrea: Around here we call that the "pride and prejudice" problem after the multi-volume VHS set popular several years ago
15:14 drojf          heh not sure what we are going to do with those because people don't like whole season boxes go away for weeks
15:14 wizzyrea       and those records are separate from the ones where libraries choose not to split them up
15:14 wizzyrea       so you can get "breaking bad, season one (full set)"
15:15 wizzyrea       which is discrete from "breaking bad, season one, disc 1"
15:15 wizzyrea       how did you solve it, oleonard?
15:15 oleonard       We didn't
15:16 wizzyrea       I think our method works ok - it muddies up the catalog but at least it's good for the patrons
15:16 wizzyrea       if they want disc *, they can get it
15:16 wizzyrea       and if there is a full set, they can get that too.
15:16 wizzyrea       ah the joys of collaborating 42 public libraries.
15:17 wizzyrea       in one system
15:17 drojf          lol
15:17 oleonard       We didn't solve the problem, but we also don't split up DVD sets, so the problem is lesser now that VHS is going away
15:17 wizzyrea       ^^ I would prefer this, but some libraries, concerned about the sets being out for weeks, want to split them
15:17 wizzyrea       so we let them, but make them do extra work. :P
15:18 oleonard       Maybe if we did that too I'd have gotten to see some Game of Thrones by now
15:18 wizzyrea       sorry jcamins, it had not occurred to me (and it is quite brilliant) to use analytics for that
15:18 wizzyrea       of course it is brilliant. ;)
15:19 * oleonard     guesses he'll have to learn what analytics are for now
15:19 jcamins_away   oleonard: someone did this presentation on analytics for KohaCon12...
15:20 wizzyrea       hehe oleonard re: game of thrones
15:20 oleonard       jcamins_away:  If only there was a way to save a "re-cording" of that time and somehow play it back in the present
15:20 drojf          heh
15:22 jcamins_away   oleonard: http://archive.org/details/Kohacon12-AnalyticRecordsAndKoha
15:22 jcamins_away   Sadly I can't figure out how to tell the site that it's a movie not audio.
15:51 nengard        anyone know if Koha is compliant with Open URL?
15:51 nengard        what about SRU/WRW
15:51 nengard        SRW
15:52 nengard        oleonard i have info in the manual about what analytics are
15:53 jcamins_away   nengard: OpenURL requires an outside link resolver. Koha does handle SRU/SRW.
15:55 jcamins_away   nengard: you can insert the link resolver using jQuery, pulling the information required from CoINs.
16:00 oleonard       On the left, the record staged in Koha. On the right, the .mrc file in MarcEdit: http://screencast.com/t/aixGrcN1Ae
16:00 oleonard       What's going on?
16:01 oleonard       Did we get bad MARC data from our vendor? Is Koha interpreting the data incorrectly?
16:02 jcamins_away   oleonard: you imported it as UTF-8 when it was actually MARC-8.
16:03 jcamins_away   MarcEdit defaults to MARC-8, and Koha defaults to UTF-8.
16:03 jcamins_away   I think.
16:04 jcamins_away   I might have it backwards, but I don't think so.
16:08 oleonard       Okay, so re-importing and specifying MARC-8 corrected that record.
16:09 jcamins_away   \o/
16:09 jcamins_away   ^^ the MARC must die dance
16:09 oleonard       There's another record which is the same either way. In MarcEdit the author looks like "Th?y, Kim" And the same in Koha after import
16:10 jcamins_away   They mixed MARC-8 and UTF-8.

17:07 martian523     hi, just a quick question
17:08 martian523     has koha set up the hourly circulation policies yet?
17:09 martian523     or is it still under construction?
17:10 maximep        hourly loans are in 3.8
17:11 martian523     really? maybe i missed it, i'm using 3.8
17:11 maximep        look in circulation rules
17:11 maximep        you should have hours unit
17:12 martian523     thanks
17:14 martian523     ok...now i have another one
17:15 martian523     in circulation rules, there are 3 reference in "type"
17:15 martian523     but when editing item, there's only 1 reference
17:16 martian523     what happened to the other 2?
17:17 martian523     never mind
17:17 martian523     i found the answer

18:42 nengard        okay, silly question, how can i find out what my highest barcode number is? I tried a report sorting by barcode desc and it's not working ?
18:42 nengard        when my barcode generator gives me a code it's always  3.89924798249022e+19  and i want to update my highest number so that stops
18:42 nengard        unless i'm on the wrong track
18:42 oleonard       The sort should work. What do you get instead of the highest number?
18:43 nengard        hang on i'll do a paste
18:43 jcamins_away   nengard: SELECT MAX(barcodes) from items
18:43 jcamins_away   Or MAX(barcode) or whatever the field is.
18:44 pastebot       "oleonard" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "Top barcodes" (16 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/141
18:44 oleonard       ^^ that's some awesome barcode garbage I have
18:44 pastebot       "nengard" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "see the 3rd to last number - it's not in order and these can't be the highest numbers if that's what's happening with my auto barcode generator thingy :)" (18 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/142
18:45 nengard        oleonard, i fixed those :)
18:45 nengard        after i gave you the dump
18:45 jcamins_away   Right, you can't do a sort on barcode.
18:45 oleonard       Oh those aren't yours, those are all mine :)
18:45 jcamins_away   Barcode is a string.
18:46 nengard        nuh uh - those are what i had when i first wrote the report
18:46 jcamins_away   Also, MAX() with strings does weird things.
18:46 nengard        right
18:46 nengard        the number it gave me is not super high
18:46 jcamins_away   There was a ticket about that with Masscat.
18:46 nengard        how about a count of characters
18:46 nengard        what is the max number of characters allowed?
18:47 nengard        and can i query any codes above that?
18:47 oleonard       Oh you're right nengard I had my dbs switched
18:47 nengard        :)
18:47 oleonard       xx226648-108820 instead :)
18:47 jcamins_away   nengard: the database can't store more than the maximum number of characters.
18:48 jcamins_away   Your problem barcode is literally "3.89924798249022e+18" or something like that.
18:48 nengard        mysql> select barcode from items where barcode like '3.899%';
18:48 nengard        Empty set (0.00 sec)
18:49 jcamins_away   Use SELECT MAX(barcode)
18:49 jcamins_away   I should mention- if you're *lucky* that barcode exists.
18:50 jcamins_away   If you're not lucky, I suggest going through the database's pockets and looking for loose change.
18:51 pastebot       "nengard" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "i bet the one that is 20 char in length is the problem" (20 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/143
18:51 wizzyrea       the last time I tried to get a max barcode, I got "SPECIAL ITEM NO BARCODE" as the result (or something like)
18:51 wizzyrea       not helpful ;)
18:51 jcamins_away   wizzyrea: sounds about right.
18:51 nengard        i did the max thing and got a number that was not long at all
18:52 pastebot       "nengard" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "thing i found the culprit" (9 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/144
18:52 wizzyrea       then I limited to branch and that was much nicer.
18:52 oleonard       wizzyrea: Sounds like my staff, who like to put in the phone number field "No phone"

18:52 wizzyrea       argle bargle bargle blarg
18:52 jcamins_away   nengard: ^^ the offending code.
18:52 jcamins_away   Try MAX(ABS(barcode))
18:53 * jcamins_away notes this is why Excel is evil.
18:55 wajasu         drojf: i think you mentioned being interested in my postfix email client setup. so I've pasted some config for reference.

18:55 nengard        fixed it :)
18:55 nengard        it was that 20 character barcode
18:55 * oleonard     thanks jcamins_away for pointing out that "argle bargle bargle blarg" is offending code
18:56 drojf          wow. thanks wajasu

19:02 nengard        jcamins i never did pin point my authority problem ? i re-ran the linker and it won't link my name authorities (not asking for help right now - just an fyi)
19:03 jcamins_away   Odd.
19:03 jcamins_away   I'll run the linker against my database again when I'm looking at authority linking next.
19:05 * gmcharlt     has a guess - checks something to confirm
19:05 wajasu         rangi: i know we spoke about some sort of functional or integrated tests a few days back.   i was able to use geb-spock (aka groovy based selenium2 webdriver specs) to login to koha and verifiy we arrive at the home page with firefox.
19:05 wajasu
19:05 wajasu         I also, got fitnesee running to call groovy based fixtures. So we could have non-programmers write tests in fitnesse web pages.
19:06 wajasu         then use fitnesse to verify that database row entries are correct in the backend.
19:08 wajasu         i looked into a perl slim protocol driver, and that could be done later if you wanted, because you said unit tests were fine.
19:09 wajasu         fitnesse is a wiki for writing high level tests.  devs can write fixtures to enable the tests.  fitnesse has a git plugin, so writing a test, adds the files inthe git directories to the git repo.  so they get checked in with the branch, etc.
19:14 wajasu         if this could be set up, we could push slower workflow of test-fail-test-fail-signoff  to writetest-code-failtest-code-passtest-test-signoff-passqa. devs would need to pass test before they checkin/push/supply patch code.
19:15 jcamins_away   wajasu: that only works as well as your users' motivation to write tests.
19:19 wajasu         as a signer, could we not write a test when a patch fails then refer to it for them to pass/adjust for the next cycle?  or when complex functionality is wanted (acquisitions, etc).  you are right. writing tests is hard, but decoupling is hard.
19:23 jcamins_away   wajasu: true.
19:29 jcamins_away   wajasu: I think it's an excellent idea, just pointing out that a workflow of writetest-code-failtest-code-passtest-test-signoff-passqa is a little bit overly optimistic. ;)

21:05 jcamins_away   wajasu: don't suppose we could use Perl with that?
21:06 wajasu         i was going to write a perl slim port to let us call perl code.  then you can test sevices, modules, sub routines.
21:09 wajasu         once its set up, folks just write specs in the fitness wiki.  the wiki specs are saved to a directory in the git repo.  the step definitions/fixtures can be written in groovy.  with a perl slim server port, you can write perl based fixtures for the same fitness tests.
21:09 jcamins_away   wajasu: but people need to use the wiki to write Python?
21:12 wajasu         to write specs in the fitnesse wiki markup.  language independent.  slim protocol sends strings/lists with simple protoocl to slim server that is written in java, ruby, perl(TODO), and the tests are executed, with results coming back to the fitnesse webbrowser.
21:18 * jcamins_away leaves
21:18 wajasu         i'm just wondiering what you guys want/need in testing.   you have unit tests.   you can already mock.   its integration tests that use all the tiers (gui, service, api, database) that you can prove at release time to prevent regressions.
