It could be that folks have applied a style to those areas which would show even with no content (background color, border, etc) 14:53 mtj hmm, that seems pretty unlikely?! 14:54 oleonard It doesn't to me. A custom background or border for OpacMainUserBlock content? 14:55 mtj A custom background or border for OpacMainUserBlock content… that doesnt exist?! 14:56 oleonard mtj: Consider an OPAC where the content changes, but the CSS is static. 14:56 oleonard Sometimes there is something in OpacMainUserBlock, sometimes there isn't. 14:56 oleonard Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it never happens. But it seems like there are better ways to solve your particular problem. 14:57 oleonard I liked cait's suggestion of a comment if you're unable to put meaningful content there for non-js users. 14:59 cait I think I am with oleonard 14:59 mtj meh, its a pretty brittle/unsatisfing solultion to me 14:59 cait having something around without content seems weird tome :) 14:59 cait only blowing up the html 14:59 cait even yes, tiny little bit 15:00 mtj if its a useful patch, the increase in size is worth it 15:01 mtj and, its not weird - its *useful* 15:01 cait :) 15:03 oleonard mtj: If the addition of a couple of small comments to your system prefs is too onerous, perhaps you could look at different ways of enhancing the existing markup to provide the hooks you need 15:04 mtj well, thats a good alternative idea, thanks 15:07 mtj i'll see if i can add some extra ids to existing elements 15:07 cait slides? 15:07 wahanui kf should be writing slides 15:08 cait study is <reply> Go back to your books! 15:08 cait study? 15:08 wahanui Go back to wahanui's books! 15:08 cait um. 15:08 cait forget study 15:08 wahanui cait: I forgot study 15:08 oleonard wahanui: It's always about you isn't it? 15:08 wahanui i haven't a clue, oleonard 15:08 cait study is <reply> Go back to \your books! 15:08 cait study? 15:08 wahanui Go back to your books! 15:08 oleonard How could this book possibly be worth $1/page? http://www.alastore.ala.org/detail.aspx?ID=4019 15:12 Dyrcona oleonard: Only $34 for the ebook!

18:25 cait_afk or maybe even easier 18:25 cait_afk for placeholders with the same name, replace them not only once, but every time they occur in the sql 18:26 cait_afk so if you have <<Library|branches>> and a bit further down the same again, show only one field in Koha and replace twice 18:26 tcohen cait_afk: i was thinking of a small form for creating variables for SQL and a + button to insert them 18:26 tcohen (in the code) 18:27 cait_afk not sure I understand how that would work. hm. 18:27 cait_afk so this is different to our current runtime parameters? 18:27 tcohen first, replace every occurence of a variable for the same value (as you suggest) 18:27 tcohen second, provide a way to make it harder to misspell them 18:28 jcamins_away I like cait_afk's suggestion. 18:28 tcohen yeah, me tooo, its cleaner, right? 18:30 cait_afk i was thinking it miht be easier to understand for people who are not so technical 18:30 jcamins_away Exactly. 18:30 * jcamins_away leaves. 18:31 tcohen bien chbien hce 18:31 cait_afk huh? :) 18:31 tcohen I have focus problems 18:31 cait_afk ah not only you 18:31 * cait_afk goes back to her books with a loud sigh 18:32 tcohen lol 18:35 tcohen cait_afk: i hate it when I find this kind of code inside Koha's source... 18:35 cait_afk hm? 18:36 tcohen nevermind 18:39 cait_afk scare the qam and then nevermind :P 18:42 tcohen too much code on the .pl and no .pm for this specific functionality 18:42 tcohen that's all 18:47 cait_afk ah 18:47 cait_afk yeah, probably older code 18:47 cait_afk soem of the guided reports code is .... 18:47 cait_afk and not very friendly about translations on top of everything. 18:48 tcohen exactly 18:51 tcohen bye #koha 18:51 tcohen cait_afk: i'll fill a bug on this as soon as i get home, i promise patch for tomorrow, tennis session ahead 18:51 cait_afk nice have fun :) 19:24 Dyrcona @later tell jcamins_away Fun with legacy data: http://pastebin.com/2LWwCjLS 19:24 huginn Dyrcona: The operation succeeded. 19:35 oleonard Is there more we could do to optimize caching of Koha resources which don't change, like images, css, js? 19:36 jcamins_away oleonard: we could probably improve our Apache/nginx configuration. 19:36 jcamins_away Dyrcona: fun indeed. 19:37 Dyrcona jcamins_away: Fortunately, I'm not the one dealing with it directly but offering advice to the sucker^Wadministrator over IRC. 19:44 oleonard I see we do have 'ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 year"' for the koha-tmpl directory 19:45 cait_afk Dyrcona: at least you got indicators :P 19:45 jcamins_away True. 19:45 Dyrcona :) 19:45 * oleonard should stop poking his nose into things he doesn't understand... 19:45 Dyrcona I don't know what ILS they come from originally, but I know it was proprietary. 19:47 jcamins_away Dyrcona: ezcat or atriuum, I think. 19:48 Dyrcona jcamins_away: So you've that kind of damage before, then? 19:49 * jcamins_away hasn't used data from ezcat or atriuum, but I've seen it. 19:49 cait_afk oleonard: which things are you looking at? 19:49 oleonard server configuration options to improve caching of static resources 19:50 oleonard except I'm not, because I stopped 19:50 oleonard I ask politely that someone smarter than me do so :) 19:54 cait_afk :) 19:54 cait_afk you are pretty smart - but maybe someone with a different area of expertise 19:54 cait_afk or something like that :) 19:55 drojf studyß 19:55 drojf study? 19:55 wahanui Go back to your books! 19:56 * wizzyrea waves 19:56 drojf why am i always to weak to hit shift for the '?'? 19:56 oleonard drojf: Don't interrupt cait_afk when she's telling me how smart I am! :P 19:57 drojf sorry :) 19:57 drojf it was meant for me actually 19:57 oleonard I'll bet wizzyrea knows all about configuring servers for smart caching of static resources 20:02 cait_afk heh 20:02 * cait_afk waves 20:02 cait_afk i am having dinner... back to study? after that 20:02 drojf ha. that's what you think 20:03 drojf i had dinner and now i am tired and lazy and hang around here 20:03 cait_afk no, that's waht I know, - so close now! 20:03 cait_afk send in 5 out of 6 I had to send in :) 20:03 cait_afk can't give up now, can I? 20:03 drojf no, you can't 20:04 jcamins_away wizzyrea++ 20:29 gaetan_B it seems koha only sends the account details email when you have manually filled the userid and password for a new borrower, am i wrong ? 20:31 cait_afk in my tests it only worked for new borrowers - filling in all data in the big formI think 20:32 cait_afk you can't resend it later with the password change functionality or something like that 20:32 cait_afk it's a dangerous feature anyway :( 20:32 jcamins_away Borrower details e-mail? 20:32 jcamins_away I think you can disable it. 20:34 rangi morning 20:34 cait_afk yep 20:34 cait_afk you have to activate it - it's off by default 20:34 cait_afk but when you do goes out to all new patrons, regardless of category 20:34 rangi excellent, that is how it should be 20:34 cait_afk morning rangi 20:34 jcamins_away So, leave it disabled. 20:35 cait_afk I do :) just telling gaetan_B that this feature is not ideal 20:35 * jcamins_away does not see any problem with it. 20:35 cait_afk not in a bug kind of way :) 20:35 jcamins_away I don't have it on, and it doesn't do anything, just the way I want it. 20:36 cait_afk jcamins_away: yep, that's the functionality part, but there is always a different story to things beside the technical details :) 20:36 gaetan_B actuallly cait_afk i'm ok with how it works now, except for the fact it doesn't seem to send emails if you haven't filled the userid and password fields, which Koha then fill up automatically 20:36 cait_afk gaetan_B: yeah, I don't like it because I think sending paswords plain text is not nice 20:36 gaetan_B i thought it was a neat way to inform the patron of is userid and password without having the librarian typing them in the system 20:36 cait_afk and we don't force people to change their passwords 20:37 gaetan_B i thought of it as a way of initializing the account 20:37 cait_afk yeah, I can understand why people want it - but I would like it better as a one time password they have to change maybe :) but that's just me apparently :) 20:37 jcamins_away cait_afk: I see no use for the e-mail at all, so I don't care either way. 20:37 gaetan_B the library can always modify the message to say patrons should log-on and modify their password now they have an account 20:38 gaetan_B anyway, i was just wondering if it was normal that Koha doesn't send the email if you let it autofill the userid and password 20:38 gaetan_B it seems it is :) 20:38 cait_afk yep 20:38 rangi sending passwords in the clear is always always always a bad idea 20:39 jcamins_away With the existence of Mozilla Persona, I would argue that having Koha manage logins is a bad idea. 20:39 rangi but that is at least necessary for the time being 20:39 rangi not everyone has an email 20:39 jcamins_away True. 20:39 jcamins_away I'm not suggesting we eliminate the passwords. 20:40 cait_afk and not everyone can run their own persona server 20:40 rangi speaking of passwords 20:40 rangi the patch from srikanth will make them a lot more secure 20:40 rangi (its totally feasible to brute force md5 for 8 or less chars now) 20:41 rangi and i bet 90% of ppl have short passwords :) 20:41 cait_afk ew 20:41 cait_afk sadly we still cant force them to rset 20:41 cait_afk reset 20:41 rangi no but when its accepted 20:41 rangi ill do a followup 20:41 rangi so on login 20:41 jcamins_away rangi: hasn't that been possible for a long time? 20:41 rangi yes but the time taken is feasible enough to make it worth while now 20:42 jcamins_away Ah. 20:42 rangi so the followup ill do is whenever someone logs in, it reencodes their password into bcrypt 20:42 rangi so at least people using them, will get their passwords tidied up 20:43 jcamins_away Nice! 20:43 rangi for now, it is only new passwords, and ones that people change 20:43 rangi which is a good start 20:43 cait_afk it's agood start :) 20:43 rangi but there's no reason we can't make it tidy up old ones when it sees them 20:43 cait_afk I didn't intend to say it wasn't - it's a really good thing 20:44 rangi oh i didnt think you had 20:45 wizzyrea right, not everyone has an email, especially in public libraries 20:45 wizzyrea you really can't assume ane mail address. 20:45 jcamins_away I was not suggesting that we eliminate passwords. 20:45 wizzyrea i'm just reiterating. 20:45 wizzyrea :) 20:45 jcamins_away What I'm saying is if you want to be serious about security, use something designed by security experts. 20:46 rangi hence the shift to bcrypt :) 20:48 rangi but yep i hope that eventually persona is the default (or somethign like it) and local passwords the exception 20:48 rangi for now i just hope persona has staved off any idea to do a login with facebook or something mad :-) 20:48 jcamins_away lol 20:48 wizzyrea oh god not a facebook login. 21:00 rambutan @seen bag 21:00 huginn rambutan: bag was last seen in #koha 22 hours, 48 minutes, and 6 seconds ago: <bag> that doesn't change the mapping - but you are correct - you should not change the mapping (it's still hardcoded in some places - like the indexing files) 21:00 bag I'm around 21:00 bag hi 21:09 cjh hahaha koha facebook login 21:09 kathryn you're a kohaface 21:15 oleonard Some nice Open Source advocacy: http://weblog.bocoup.com/bring-out-your-bugs/ 21:19 rangi http://openhatch.org/ 21:19 rangi who wants to sign koha up to that? 21:19 * wizzyrea sees openhatch and is reminded of feeding babies 21:21 jenkins_koha Starting build #64 for job Koha_3.10.x (previous build: SUCCESS) 21:21 Dyrcona rangi++ 21:21 rangi huh? 21:21 Dyrcona I'm asking the Evergreen community on g+ what they think of signing up to openhatch. 21:22 rangi ahh well i only spotted that from oleonards link :) 21:22 * jcamins_away thinks that signing Koha up to openhatch is a great idea, and looks forward to the appearance of new developers. 21:22 Dyrcona rangi: I saw it in there, too, but after you mentioned it in channel 21:23 * rangi was hinting he wanted someone else to sign koha up so he didnt have to :) 21:23 jcamins_away rangi: so I guess what you're saying is that my hinting was not too subtle to be understood as "not me"? 21:23 jcamins_away :) 21:24 rangi hehe 21:25 Dyrcona oleonard++ # if a bit late. :p 21:26 rangi :) 21:28 drojf i think the vote for GSoC is "no" 21:29 rangi hmm 1 no, and a lot of silence 21:30 rangi ive done gsoc mentoring before, it does take a lot of time but if there was more than me id try again 21:31 * jcamins_away doesn't particularly agree with slef's position, but is not volunteering to coordinate. 21:31 rangi i think gmcharlt volunteered to coordinate 21:32 drojf lol 21:32 jcamins_away Oh, I thought he said he _had_ coordinated. 21:32 rangi sounds like volunteering to me 21:32 rangi hehe 21:32 jcamins_away Heh. 21:32 * jcamins_away would probaby not be a good "official" mentor. 21:33 jcamins_away But I'd help out with the "getting started with developing Koha," since I do that a lot. 21:33 oleonard See you later #koha 21:34 * jcamins_away leaves as well. 21:34 jcamins_away Good night, #koha. 21:34 drojf ok so that is rangi, gmcharlt and jcamins_away volunteering. 21:34 drojf cool 21:35 jcamins_away drojf: but if you're counting me as a mentor, you have to find someone else to be the head mentor. 21:35 drojf what body part mentor does that make you? :D 21:35 jcamins_away So I'm almost like a negative volunteer, since my participation requires an additional person be involved. 21:36 drojf no, you are one of the enthusiastic flagships of volunteering that will attract others 21:36 drojf and suddenly everybody wants to be a mentor 21:37 drojf maybe we can convince people that places are limited. and they have to sleep in a tent for three days waiting at the entrance to get a mentor job 21:37 cait_afk lol 21:49 cjh heh 21:51 wizzyrea when did we turn into apple? 22:00 rangi koya uni should document what they do and/or hire someone to support for them 22:05 rambutan so it looks like to implement Mozilla persona on a koha web site (OPAC) it's simply a matter of putting the js code on the base page? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Persona/Quick_Setup 22:06 cait_afk rambutan: rangi did it already - there is a patch waiting for qa I think 22:07 rambutan OK, but independent of the patch, it seems like just putting the code on the base page of the OPAC should work, right? 22:08 rangi no 22:08 rambutan that's like, "N" "O" no? 22:08 bgkriegel Hello 22:08 wahanui what's up, bgkriegel 22:08 rangi you have to cehck the assertion handed back, and if it is valid create a session for them in koha 22:08 rangi bug 9587 22:08 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9587 new feature, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, Signed Off , Allow login via mozilla persona - https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/persona/ 22:09 rambutan oh 22:09 rambutan OH 22:09 rangi you can see the code there 22:09 rambutan OK, well rangi++ 22:09 jenkins_koha Project Koha_3.10.x build #64: SUCCESS in 49 min: http://jenkins.koha-community.org/job/Koha_3.10.x/64/ 22:09 jenkins_koha Fridolyn SOMERS: Bug 9104: country in CSV in overdue_notices.pl 22:09 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9104 minor, P5 - low, ---, fridolyn.somers, Pushed to Stable , country in CSV in overdue_notices.pl 22:09 jenkins_koha Starting build #273 for job Koha_3.8.x (previous build: SUCCESS) 22:39 gaetan_B bye ! 22:48 jenkins_koha Project Koha_3.8.x build #273: SUCCESS in 38 min: http://jenkins.koha-community.org/job/Koha_3.8.x/273/ 22:48 jenkins_koha Fridolyn SOMERS: Bug 9104: country in CSV in overdue_notices.pl 22:48 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9104 minor, P5 - low, ---, fridolyn.somers, Pushed to Stable , country in CSV in overdue_notices.pl 22:54 dcook Whoa...there is a Koha list & site for francophones? Sweeet 22:59 bag ha 23:10 dcook To get listed as a support company, you need to send an email of introduction to the General Koha mailing list? 23:11 rangi thats right 23:11 rangi include as much info as you can, best if you can send a couple of urls to show you have actually done a koha install :) 23:12 drojf heh 23:13 dcook Sounds good. Thanks, rangi 23:16 jcamins_away dcook: and your site should make it clear that you support the open source Koha software and not something else, ideally. 23:16 cait_afk and link back to the community 23:18 bag and stand on one foot and chew gum at the same time 23:18 bag geeze :P 23:18 dcook Haha, bag 23:19 dcook The site is actually pretty good about that, it seems. Several links back to the community and explicit mention that it's open source and belongs to the community ;) 23:19 bag you're more than golden IMO 23:20 dcook Thanks, bag :) 23:20 drojf [off] what has also worked: hastily put a koha logo in an arbitrary place on your not-library-related website :P 23:21 bag [off] don't be a dick - works really well too :) 23:21 drojf lol 23:22 bag I'm a bit sarcastic today - sorry it will pass 23:22 * bag feels like a ninja behing the keyboard today - good thing this isn't a talking channel 23:23 bag damn typos 23:24 dcook I always figured library tech people to be akin to ninjas (especially as opposed to pirates) 23:25 rangi the other major thing to remember 23:25 rangi being listed implies utterly no endorsement 23:26 bag well besides saying you're awesome! but yeah no endorsement we can subtract that utterly - it means no endorsement 23:26 drojf that is why i would give you the direct country link that shows my company. you don't have to read about the "no endorsement" thing then 23:27 rangi heh 23:27 dcook We've never really had to worry much about advertising. I'd just like it to be mentioned that we're part of the community 23:28 bag yeah we love the word of mouth :) better than any endorsement 23:28 dcook Exactly 23:31 jcamins_away [off] I should get an endorsement... "C & P, Michael Jordan's favorite bibliographic services company!" 23:31 dcook [off] I do wonder about your clientele sometimes :p 23:32 rangi the rules are to stop the things that don't want to build up that word of mouth or get involved in the community 23:32 rangi but want a listing so they can go 23:32 rangi "look im an official company" 23:32 dcook For sure. I'm all in favour of rules :D 23:33 rangi so everyone has to play by the same rules even tho we know some companies are much more involved than others 23:33 dcook I think this community and the name of Koha are both really important, and I think whatever can help keep them both in good standing in the larger world is important 23:33 drojf i did not know we had so many spanish support companies 23:33 dcook drojf: I know, right? 23:33 * dcook apparently likes to repeat the word important a lot 23:33 rangi heh 23:34 bag [off] jcamins_away MJ? 23:34 bag or is that just kidding 23:34 drojf ha that goes right into the newsletter 23:34 jcamins_away [off] I do not work for him.
