23:34 melia           no, but I will now! :)
23:33 bgkriegel       Have you looked at logs?
23:29 melia           anybody have any ideas for other things I should check?
23:28 melia           I know editing items works fine on other 3.8.8 systems, and I have compared sys prefs and frameworks, but everything looks pretty much the same.
23:28 melia           I have a strange problem on a 3.8.8 system where I can't edit existing items. I go to edit item, I make some changes, click save changes. but my changes don't save, and I can't figure out why.
22:56 cait            night :)
22:51 cait            hope you get some answers :)
22:50 bgkriegel       :)
22:50 bgkriegel       hi tcohen
22:50 tcohen          hi bgkriegel
22:50 tcohen          i'm just typing it :-D
22:50 bgkriegel       tcohen: an email to koha-devel?
22:48 cait            I can try to take a look too - but maybe not tonight :)
22:47 tcohen          np, this bug can wait anyway
22:46 cait            tcohen: it's kinda late here - maybe put in discussion and try asking around on irc for opinions?
22:44 tcohen          if we have an expected workflow defined, any of the approaches its easy to implement
22:43 cait            but best would maybe be a catalogers opinion
22:43 cait            but it would keep the code a bit more modular i guess
22:43 cait            like it would be good to add it to the default frameworks
22:42 cait            I think i like the idea of a plugin a little bit better, but that has other consequences too
22:42 tcohen          i don't favour any workflow btw
22:40 tcohen          paul argues that it should be done onLeave, and provide a button for moving the invalid ISBN to $z (which is suggested in the error message right now)
22:39 tcohen          I added a syspref controlling whether to check or not, and (as other checks) is validated on save action
22:38 cait            the in discussion status is a bit dangerious
22:38 tcohen          yeap, the main problem is the workflow for invalid ISBN
22:38 cait            maybe - but try to ask some people to take a look
22:38 cait            hm difficult one

22:37 tcohen          cait: should I mark 906 as "In discussion"?
22:19 bag             oh hey hankbank
22:12 huginn          cait: The operation succeeded.
22:12 cait            @later tell wizzyrea - could you maybe take a look at 8918?
21:52 cait            yeah, looks expensive :)
21:51 bag             and I was wondering if he's been - but it's probably way too expensive
21:51 bag             Henry lives there
21:51 bag             heh
21:51 cait            bag: now I am hungry :)
21:42 huginn          bag: The operation succeeded.
21:42 bag             @later tell hankbank http://www.opinionatedaboutdining.com/2013/top100us-6.html
20:51 * druthb_mib    heads home
20:50 cait            would be my guess, also probably well supported by lots of applications
20:49 cait            I think sip2 has probably been around longest so most widely used?
20:48 jeff            another followup -- is there any versioning on the APIs, or are they just stable by happenstance?
20:48 cait            authenticate against ldap first I mean before trying local? if you don't have passwords in Koha?
20:48 cait            will any of the api we have for authentication take that into account?
20:48 jeff            also, are koha libs using ezproxy via any authentication method other than SIP2, or mostly just doing ezproxy <-> koha via SIP2?
20:48 cait            I was wondering, when you use koha with ldap
20:47 cait            yeah, now that you mention it...
20:47 jcamins         I think.
20:47 jcamins         cait: yeah, rangi did that.
20:47 cait            I will have to take a look at that then :)
20:47 cait            oh authentication too?
20:47 jcamins         Cataloging, authentication, and reports, basically.
20:47 jcamins         Yes.
20:47 jeff            would that be accurate?
20:46 jeff            and the svc api supports a specific subset of koha functionality, with a priority on specific needs
20:46 jcamins         /svc and /opac/svc
20:45 jeff            got it.
20:45 * druthb_mib    might swipe some bits of that for her YAPC preso, if you don't mind, cait.
20:45 cait            i was referring to the svc thing yes
20:45 jcamins         That's the svc API.
20:45 jeff            re-phrased, if i wanted to look at the code for said RESTful API, which perl module would I examine. :-)
20:45 jeff            "RESTful API" -- is this referencing how the staff web interface operates, or should i look elsewhere?
20:44 cait            that was my presentation for german library conference 2 weeks ago
20:43 * druthb_mib    enjoys cait's slides, pumping a few words and phrases at Google Translate.
20:42 jeff            okay, i missed ldap/cas/persona.
20:42 jcamins         Yeah, and the report web server offers JSON.
20:42 cait            well i told them i probably forgot some :)
20:42 jcamins         cait: oh, yeah.
20:42 cait            missing json tho
20:41 jeff            thanks :-)

20:37 cait            oh
20:37 jcamins         You had a nice slide on APIs supported by Koha.
20:37 jcamins         cait: where are the slides you put together on Koha?
20:31 cait            thank you :)

19:50 another_peter   my technical plan for fixing bug 6506 is now on there as a comment - this is my first perl change to koha, so I may not be understanding the normal approach, so feel free to critique
19:43 bag             so true
19:43 bag             HA
19:43 cait            you yeah - I totally prefer the cold too
19:42 cait            guess it was my turn - seems everyone got one :)
19:42 bag             I guess I'd trade what I had for that :)
19:42 bag             oh noes you got a cold?
19:42 cait            fighting off a cold, but looks like I am winning
19:42 bag             oh right :P  time zone fail by me
19:42 cait            not that late yet - 8:30 pm
19:42 bag             Hey Cait - how you doing…  late there isn't it?
19:41 rangi           https://www.linode.com/  <-- tcohen linode 512, another_peter's idea is good i can bump it up to the 1gb and it will be perfect
19:41 cait            heya bag *wave*
19:41 jeff            well, openncip never spoke ncip, afaik. now it's called SIPServer, talks SIP2, and is begging to be joined with its long lost cousin C4::SIP ;-)
19:41 bag             cool thanks edveal - I sent him a private message too :P
19:40 tcohen          rangi, what are the specs of the bz server?
19:40 rangi           but im not 100% on that
19:39 rangi           jeff: dollars for donuts its screen scraping
19:39 edveal          bag rambutan was just looking for me. But he is not responding right now.
19:39 jeff            i can try and ask the vendor, but is anyone here aware of how boopsie (the mobile app vendor) integrates with koha? screen scraping, other?
19:39 rangi           there was opennicp back in the day, but things (we wont go into it ;)) killed that project
19:39 bag             rambutan: you around?
19:38 rangi           not really jeff, not that i know off
19:38 jeff            is anyone doing NCIP work with Koha (especially NCIP DCB3 for integration with regional resource sharing ILL systems)?
19:38 cait            rangi: pm? :)
19:38 rangi           jeff: or make a nice html5/firefoxOS app :)
19:37 edveal          hey rambutan what's up?
19:36 rangi           you can now get that as json, and display on your OPAC however you want
19:36 jeff            new books, popular books, on-order... yep!
19:36 rangi           jeff: also, list of new books
19:36 rangi           exactly
19:36 jeff            rangi: do you have any real-world examples of how people are using the report-as-json bit? it seems incredibly useful and multi-purpose. library dashboard immediately comes to mind.
19:35 cait            right that one :)
19:35 rangi           and oclc connexion
19:35 cait            I think
19:35 rangi           ahh yeah, the staff svc
19:35 cait            it's also used for integrating that worlcat software...
19:35 rangi           its only since 3.10.x
19:35 jeff            rangi++
19:35 jeff            also useful. i didn't know about that bit.
19:35 huginn          rambutan: edveal was last seen in #koha 1 week, 5 days, 23 hours, 22 minutes, and 28 seconds ago: <edveal> Yes sorry
19:35 rambutan        @seen edveal
19:34 jeff            rangi: thanks! i had forgotten about the marcedit integration!
19:34 rangi           and in opac/svc/ there is report which will give you json output of any report you write in koha, and mark as public
19:34 jeff            context: i'm thinking on (in advance of talking on) APIs and integration points for Evergreen and seeking additional examples and points of future collaboration with Koha
19:34 rangi           thats how marcedit talks to koha (via svc/ on the staff side)
19:33 rangi           in both the opac and intranet
19:33 rangi           jeff: the svc/ dir
19:33 rangi           yep
19:33 jeff            i suppose some things may simply scrape the koha web interface, too.
19:33 rangi           another_peter: oh good idea
19:32 jeff            i was pestering jcamins earlier via msg with something along these lines, but when people here think "koha API" or more generally "points at which koha integrates with other things", I've got the following things in a list: SIP2, ILS-DI, SRU/Z39.50, OAI-PMH... should I be looking at other things?
19:32 another_peter   i see $20/month in value in increasing the server size, so catalyst would be happy to contribute that towards your personal linode hosting costs (assuming moving from the 512 to the 1024  will do it)
19:32 rangi           http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Website_Administration
19:32 another_peter   perhaps phrase like this then -
19:31 rangi           ill have a chat with don, we try to spread stuff around lots, not hosted by any one organisation/person .. after what happened last time
19:30 rangi           yep
19:30 rangi           (its my one server (well one of them))
19:30 another_peter   rangi: obviously if you wanted, catalyst could host it instead
19:29 rangi           https://www.linode.com/  im on the linode 512 plan
19:29 rangi           i can see that it would be useful
19:28 cait            I never missed google searching it
19:28 another_peter   rangi: please advise what you need, i'll try and arrange it
19:28 rangi           but yeah its tuned very tightly and swap death is just a google index away :)
19:28 rangi           for 512MB its doing pertty good, runs the dashboard, bugzilla and a couple of bots
19:27 rangi           morning
19:27 cait            morning rangi
19:27 cait            poor bugzilla
19:27 rangi           last time i let it, it pounded the poor thing to death
19:26 rangi           yeah its running on my linode, if someone wants to give me more money, ill up the ram on it and let google see it again :-)
19:25 another_peter   oleonard: mostly because i think that people should be able to google for koha related issues and find the bugzilla entry
19:25 cait            :)
19:25 oleonard        ...and he does it out of the goodness of his heart
19:24 cait            rangi is running that
19:24 cait            not sure it's intentional but maybe reducing load
19:24 oleonard        another_peter: Because you can't find what you're looking for through Bugzilla's search?
19:23 another_peter   IMHO the bugzilla being not googleable seems retrograde.  i assume this is to reduce load and traffic costs?
19:12 kathryn         I should really make gnome open automatically :)
19:11 cait            starting work early :)
19:11 kathryn         hiya cait
19:11 cait            morning kathryn :)
19:11 cait            anitsirk++ btw too
19:09 cait            another_peter: I like fixing bugs too :) all the other things tend to get in the way tho
19:07 * druthb_mib    squees happily
19:06 rambutan        that would be a promotion?
19:05 another_peter   then i would be able to fix koha in my work time :)
19:04 another_peter   If I fix another 10 bugs, I am thinking of asking Catalyst for a promotion from project manager from junior developer :)
19:03 cait            and thank you for working on this :)
19:01 cait            maybe make it 2 to ease testing
19:01 another_peter   cait: should the fact that history is not deleted on return be fixed on the same bug, or a different bug, than the inability for a user to delete their history backlog?
18:58 cait            but maybe take a look at the tabs on the about page
18:58 cait            another_peter: can't check master right now myself... my database think sit's 3.0.6 something :)
18:58 cait            maybe we shoudl also note those problems there
18:57 cait            there is a section for problems on the about page
18:57 oleonard        It's a good thing no one here wants to use the  autoMemberNum preference because our db is so full of junk card numbers it would return ridiculous results
18:57 cait            you can't expect circ staff to be able to fix it
18:57 cait            difficult
18:57 cait            hm
18:57 another_peter   quite so.  now, how about the case that they have their history set to "never keep", and the error occurs during a return?
18:56 cait            wasn't too far off..
18:55 cait            hehe :)
18:55 another_peter   which is essentially your sentence nativespeakerised
18:55 another_peter   OK, going with: "The deletion for your reading history failed, because there is a problem with the configuration of this feature. Please help to fix the system by informing your library of this error."
18:54 cait            The deletion for your reading history failed, because there is a problem with the configuration of this feature. Please help to fix it and inform your library about this error?
18:54 another_peter   it is very early in the morning to be nice.
18:53 cait            I am not a native speaker tho :)
18:53 cait            hm maybe a bit nicer? :)
18:53 another_peter   cait: "The deletion of your reading history failed, because the system's privacy module is configured incorrectly.  Please notify a librarian of this error."
18:52 cait            sorry for missing it :)
18:52 cait            oh
18:51 mtompset        Still an okay attempt. :P
18:50 oleonard        Oh no that was movement, not sound. Jurassic Park reference.
18:50 cait            oleonard: ?
18:49 oleonard        Oh my god, huginn is a Tyrannosaurus!
18:49 another_peter   which seems like something that we might do automatically for 500 errors...
18:49 oleonard        I guess huginn doesn't see you if you don't talk
18:48 huginn          oleonard: edveal was last seen in #koha 1 week, 5 days, 22 hours, 36 minutes, and 2 seconds ago: <edveal> Yes sorry
18:48 oleonard        @seen edveal
18:48 cait            yeah, maybe we should phrase the error so that the user is encouraged to contact the library?
18:48 huginn          rambutan: I have not seen eveal.
18:48 rambutan        @seen eveal
18:47 another_peter   (ah, he has gone already.)
18:47 another_peter   jcamins: thanks.  the reason i thought it might be otherwise is that this is something the administrator has to set, not the user.

18:47 another_peter   err, bug 6506
18:47 another_peter   big 6506
18:46 cait            I seem to remember I filed something about that sometime... hm.
18:46 cait            another_peter: which bug number is that?
18:46 * jcamins       leaves to catch the bus.
18:46 cait            ah right
18:46 * another_peter goes in search of the bugzilla
18:46 jcamins         On-screen error block.
18:46 cait            not sure what you want to do - can you explain a bit more?
18:46 another_peter   this is for the case where the administrator has not set a proper anonymous user
18:45 another_peter   does this mean an on-screen error block, or an HTTP 500, or a Carp?
18:45 another_peter   I also am looking for guidance about what is the desirable way of failing noisily in the context of the opac privacy module.
18:44 another_peter   it is a strategy to leave the house and run to a cafe before the three children begin the daily bedlam
18:44 another_peter   hi cait
18:44 cait            you are up early
18:43 cait            hi another_peter :)
18:42 rambutan        ah, ic, thanks.  (for some of us old unixers man is the go-to command)
18:41 cait            ^^ what tcohen said :)
18:41 tcohen          rebuild_zebra.pl --help
18:41 cait            ?
18:41 rambutan        idle question: is there no man page for rebuild_zebra? it's ungoogleable

18:27 tcohen          ah,no, they chose RPM
18:27 tcohen          LSB for all
18:22 mtompset        Why can't everyone just agree on a single packaging method? It would make life easier for the children. :)
18:22 mtompset        And don't get me started on the wrongness of zypper.
18:21 mtompset        Having jumped back and forth between using yum and apt-get... I initially thought I preferred yum, but apt-get seems more right.
18:21 tcohen          just kidding, just kodding
18:21 mtompset        Oh please!
18:21 tcohen          heh
18:20 tcohen          the CentOS - OpenSuSE lover
18:20 tcohen          hi mtompset
18:20 druthb_mib      hi, mtompset! :)
18:20 mtompset        BTW, greetings, cait, tcohen, jcamins, druthb_mib, and oleonard in completely random order. :)
18:12 druthb_mib      :)
18:10 cait            jcamins++ for building things i can break ;)
18:10 mtompset        cait++ # just because you test things. :)
18:09 mtompset        But the same logic applies, have the tester bust it, or a client who may or may not be able to fix it.
18:09 jcamins         It's not Koha in this case, but testing is definitely good.
18:08 druthb_mib      "generally awesome?"  Nay.  "Awesomely awesome!"
18:08 mtompset        Testing is always good.
18:08 mtompset        Which is worse, you breaking it, or some newbie user of Koha?
18:08 jcamins         And cait is generally awesome and deserves karma.
18:07 cait            I just tested something for jcamins and broke it
18:05 cait            hmpf?
18:05 * druthb_mib    drags cait out of hiding.
18:04 druthb_mib      yuss.  1400EasternUS/1300Central.
18:04 * cait          hides
18:04 jcamins         The latter.
18:04 oleonard        Did I miss something? Or is it just that time of day that we regularly acknowledge that cait is awesome?
18:02 druthb_mib      cait++
18:02 jcamins         cait++
17:59 gaetan_B        bye !

17:30 jcamins         rambutan: did you reindex?
17:18 oleonard        Oh well, no big deal.
17:18 cait            checking right now too, don't see anything
17:18 oleonard        Yeah, nothing jumped out at me
17:15 cait            have you checked the misc etc. ?
17:14 cait            haven't run into something like that yet
17:14 cait            hm
17:13 oleonard        Is there a batch biblio export command line script which has more features than the staff client tool?
16:54 mtompset        Greetings, #koha.

15:58 oleonard        Some bugs we visit every year if only to say, "You're still an awesome bug! We haven't forgotten you!"
15:40 rambutan        since our upgrade to 3.10, we have been unable to search authorities. Any suggestions?

15:39 rambutan        wahanui: wake up buddy! Do tell me about bug 9889
15:31 bag             hey Ruth

15:30 wahanui         morning is a state of cat
15:30 bag             morning
15:14 gmcharlt        oleonard: seems reasonable (with comment saying *why* a bug was set to WONTFIX)
14:59 oleonard        Should we close as WONTFIX bugs which are specific to 3.4.x?
14:57 oleonard        I ask questions first and @later later :)
14:57 rambutan        much better, methinks, than asking questions and @seens later ??
14:56 wahanui         i already had it that way, huginn.

14:51 druthb_mib      How are ya?
14:50 * druthb_mib    grins at oleonard.
14:48 oleonard        Hey druthb_mib
14:44 druthb_mib      o/
14:40 jcamins         That makes two of us.
14:40 oleonard        No idea
14:40 jcamins         oleonard: right, but don't I have to make a statistical patron default?
14:39 oleonard        A statistical patron category?
14:39 jcamins         I could've sworn there was a syspref something like "StatisticalPatron," but apparently not.
14:38 jcamins         Okay... silly question... where do I set the statistical patron?
14:25 alaquerre       Let me keep thinking about it :-) THanks for your input always appreciate it!
14:24 jcamins         That could work.
14:23 alaquerre       "Something wrong - What you want to do ?" with couple of generic action.   We will end up forcing the full review A- H
14:22 alaquerre       Maybe we should always let the user do the proper "action"... Mark as lost or whatever and force the user to skip it...
14:21 alaquerre       THen let the user do he's job to replace it.
14:21 alaquerre       We will have "Alert : Scan should be B, H is at the wrong place."
14:20 jcamins         And that's why I think it would be very difficult.
14:20 jcamins         When you scan in book H, the computer doesn't know whether the order is A H B or A H I
14:19 jcamins         In scenario 3, they're shelved: A H B C D E F G
14:19 jcamins         Book B is missing, but that's okay, because we've marked it.
14:19 jcamins         In scenario 2, they're shelved: A C D E F G H
14:19 jcamins         Everything is good.
14:19 jcamins         In scenario 1, they're shelved: A B C D E F G H
14:18 jcamins         Actually, A-H.
14:18 alaquerre       You will know that the misshelfved book is at the wrong place...
14:18 jcamins         Here's the scenario I'm thinking of. We have books A-Z.
14:18 alaquerre       I would act only with the previous
14:18 jcamins         If you skip ahead when books are missing, won't those forty books get marked as missing?
14:17 jcamins         Okay, what if one book is misshelved one shelf above where it belongs, so there are forty books that should have been scanned first?
14:17 alaquerre       So the logic is to find "hole" and for those "hole" adding something for later work...
14:16 alaquerre       Yes
14:16 alaquerre       Adding automatically a note to the items "Item missing while inventory" or somgthing like that.
14:16 jcamins         It gets marked as seen, and the inventory tool jumps ahead to that book?
14:16 jcamins         Right, but what happens to the book that was just scanned?
14:15 alaquerre       Just alert the user that is currently doing the inventory.
14:15 jcamins         So all the books are in the right order, but one book is missing.
14:15 jcamins         Sadly, I think you are. If something is missing, what happens?
14:13 alaquerre       Am I missing something ?
14:13 alaquerre       Why's that ? :-) Let's say the sort is perfect... I was thinking reusing the "shelf browser" in opac and display the document while the user scan them. ( just gray out the lost, borrow one etc. )
14:11 jcamins         I think it would be incredibly useful, and incredibly difficult.
14:11 alaquerre       I'll keep thinking about it. ( the sorting) but what do you think of of module that will alert the user when he scan a "wrong document" ?
14:08 jcamins         That would almost certainly have to be a local modification, though, because the system would have to know all your shelflisting peculiarities.
14:08 jcamins         I think probably the way to do it would be to make cn_sort editable within certain parameters.
14:07 alaquerre       jcamins : currently the process of printing a document is hard for my community... most of them did not do any inventory for the last 2 years...
14:06 jcamins         That would be very cool.
14:05 alaquerre       jcamins : My real idea : I would like that user from the library literally "ran" in shelf by just scanning codebar and if a document is misplaced, missing having a loud BEEP :-) To do that, I need a "perfect" sort...
14:05 jcamins         (and part numbers)
14:03 jcamins         alaquerre: my initial instinct is that what you want can probably be accomplished using location and collection codes in addition to call numbers.
14:03 nengard         :)
14:02 jcamins         nengard++
14:01 alaquerre       I am currently imagining another column in Koha where the user would be able to "place" the document at the right place and overright the default cn_sort so we can get: "C180 1234 780", "180 1234 780-1","c180 1234 781"  etc. What do you think of the idea ?
14:01 alaquerre       Hi all.  Question for you.  We currently have big problem using inventory system.  Mainly because user do not nessary use the "perfect LCC" or the "perfect dewee".  Example : In canada, they put "C" in front of the canadian document and we end up having all the "C" at the same place which is wrong.

14:00 nengard         fyi all - my focus this week is getting the help files done bug 9850 has the patches so far
13:17 oleonard        tcohen: I don't mind if you want to file an enhancement bug and assign it to me
13:16 tcohen          yes
13:16 tcohen          ahhh, that should've been the wording
13:16 oleonard        tcohen: You're asking if marc_subfield_structure.tt can get the floating toolbar too?
13:11 oleonard        Hi cait
13:09 jcamins         Always a good idea to do a three-way merge.
13:09 jcamins         -i3
13:08 samuel          ok
13:08 jcamins         samuel: no. You use git am -i /path/to/file
13:07 samuel          not for the moment, but, manually, i have to do this  "patch < /path/to/file "?
13:06 oleonard        samuel: You have a git installation for testing, and you want to apply a patch?
13:04 samuel          short question:as it's the first time for me to do that and, in waiting to have a git install, how can i apply a patch?
13:03 tcohen          heh, on the marc editor the "save" button + bar is available at the bottom of the page
13:03 samuel          hi everybody
13:02 oleonard        tcohen: I don't know what you mean by that
13:02 oleonard        jcamins: where "t" means "the table is here" (relative to the other elements in that string)
13:01 tcohen          oleonard: will marc_subfield_structure.tt get fancy as the marc editor?
13:01 oleonard        Yes
13:01 jcamins         'sDom': 't<"bottom pager"ilpf>' <-- maybe
13:01 jcamins         Right.
13:00 jcamins         Oh.
13:00 oleonard        That changes the kind of pagination buttons, but not where they appear
12:59 jcamins         sPaginationType: 'four_button'
12:58 oleonard        The QoTD has tons of customizations on it
12:58 oleonard        I don't know off the top of my head, I'd have to check the docs.
12:58 jcamins         I just noticed that the QoTD editor has a different set of controls.
12:58 jcamins         oleonard: how do we get the datatables controls all on the bottom?

08:25 tzm             bye 4 now tk care all,
08:22 gaetan_B        hello
08:16 tzm             ok
08:10 mtj             tzn, not many people here are running a Koha version that old… so, not many people can help you
08:08 mtj             tzm, afaik that has been removed from Koha ^^
08:00 tzm             but i deviated from my qn :<tzm>: what does UNT (UNIT) mean? <tzm>: does it just mean in which UNIT the patron has designation DESIGNATION
07:57 cjh             tzm: im not sure how much koha has changed since 3.2.x, but in current master compared to a package install we have: http://pastebin.com/wRWqUrd3 not sure how helpful that is.
07:56 tzm             ok <cjh>:
07:55 francharb       good morning #koha
07:53 cjh             tzm: that depends where and how koha is installed, it will probably be a case of taking each directory withing /usr/share/koha/ and cping it over to the appropriate place within the git tree.
07:51 rangi           you should at least fix that problem in your 3.2.6
07:51 rangi           no im just showing the security problem 3.2.11 is still very old
07:50 tzm             is it the latest stable version that u suggest, rangi
07:47 rangi           http://koha-community.org/koha-3-2-11/
07:47 tzm             from which directory should i copy my koha files to the tree<cjh>
07:46 rangi           that doesnt change that fact :)
07:46 wahanui         niihau, reiveune
07:46 reiveune        hello
07:45 rangi           ok
07:45 tzm             i am running koha in debian linux 6
07:45 tzm             oh
07:44 rangi           there are security problems with 3.2.6
07:43 cjh             you could clone the git repo, check out v3.02.00, copy over your files into the tree, and the git status would tell you what files have changed.
07:41 tzm             c u after lunch
07:41 tzm             loggin out.
07:40 tzm             because iam afraid i will loose the changes i have made to the code.
07:40 tzm             i am continuing with my current version
07:37 mtj             http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Version_Control_Using_Git
07:37 tzm             and upgrade later
07:36 tzm             only
07:36 tzm             any method to track changed files?
07:36 tzm             i cant upgrade as i have made so many changes ,difficulkt to track, where
07:35 mtj             tzm, woah,  thats very old
07:35 tzm             3.02.06.000
07:34 tzm             koha 3.0.2
07:34 tzm             out for lunch..
07:34 rangi           what version of koha are you using?
07:34 tzm             does it just mean in which UNIT the patron has designation DESIGNATION
07:30 tzm             what  does UNT (UNIT)  mean?
07:29 tzm             Again in Add Academic Staff patron  - In Additional attributes and identifiers
07:28 tzm             i have aother doubt
07:28 tzm             ok gr8
07:27 mtj             … use sort1 and sort2
07:27 mtj             yes, if you want to track some important info about your patrons, but have nowhere to track that info….
07:27 tzm             but anywhere in koha is there any statistical analysis, where as it claims can be used
07:26 tzm             it can be used for taking reports
07:26 tzm             yes i get the idea
07:25 mtj             but hey… you get the idea tzm
07:24 mtj             then you could run a report on your patrons - to see how many fat or skinny customers you have :)
07:24 tzm             :)
07:23 mtj             no, sorry -  just kidding! :p
07:23 mtj             tzm, 'FAT_PERSON' or 'SKINNY_PERSON' perhaps… ?
07:23 tzm             ok thank u all
07:22 mtj             if you cant think of anything important to add to those fields, then just ignore them :)
07:22 christophe_c    hello #koha
07:22 tzm             any example?
07:22 mtj             yes, thats the one! :)
07:22 rangi           they are optional you cna use them for statistical purposes, put things in them that you might want to report on later
07:22 mtj             i think you can add anything you want to them, basically
07:21 mtj             ...anyone else know?
07:21 mtj             sorry, i dont know what to input into sort 1 and 2 fields...
07:20 mtj             hmm, yeah, thats not a great explaination for those fields
07:19 tzm             I dont know for what statistical purposes is it used and where is it used
07:18 tzm             what should i enter in the field
07:18 tzm             Sort 1 and 2 are used for statistical purposes within your library
07:18 tzm             it says:
07:16 mtj             it explains it there, i think
07:16 mtj             tzm, have you have a look Koha's manual yet?
07:16 wahanui         manual is probably at http://www.koha-community.org/documentation

02:52 jcamins         "No one can figure out what the hell is supposed to go in 'hidden.'"
02:52 wizzyrea        me too.
02:52 jcamins         I'd be willing to call that a bugfix.
02:52 wizzyrea        seriously serious!
02:52 wizzyrea        the old way was seriously suck.
02:52 wizzyrea        oh god, seriously tcohen++
02:51 jcamins         tcohen++
02:40 tcohen          bye #koha
02:25 tcohen          at least our users will enjoy it
02:24 tcohen          heh, so I did it with some jQuery
02:24 tcohen          i promised to fix it in a proper way, but jcamins told me 'for 3.14'
02:24 eythian_        yay for that, the old way sucks
02:23 tcohen          i learned jquery today, doing this http://i.imgur.com/r6DHZjq.png
02:16 wizzyrea        you are welcome :)
02:16 vald_tmj        Thanks so much - this was quite helpful for now.

02:14 wizzyrea        bug 9735
02:14 vald_tmj        I'm not sure what you mean by 9735.
02:13 tcohen          (that's why 9735 should be pushed actually :-P)
02:12 tcohen          it needs a referrer
02:09 wizzyrea        users meaning, parties who care enough to get involved to translate
02:09 wizzyrea        users translate koha
02:09 rangi           http://translate.koha-community.org/
02:08 vald_tmj        Do the schools do the translations themselves or is there a Koha representative who translates information?
02:08 rangi           http://lins.koha-tw.org/ try it just like that then :)
02:08 wizzyrea        hm that is doing something odd with redirects
02:07 rangi           for a demo
02:07 rangi           http://lins.koha-tw.org/cgi-bin/koha/changelanguage.pl?language=zh-Hans-TW
02:06 wizzyrea        sorry!
02:06 wizzyrea        lol
02:06 wizzyrea        yes that
02:06 rangi           http://koha.wikispaces.com/ even :)
02:06 wizzyrea        thttp://koha.wikispaces.com/

02:05 rangi           http://trac.koha-tw.org/
02:05 vald_tmj        Can you provide me with more information?
02:05 rangi           not in mainland china that i know of, but in taiwan
02:05 rangi           yes
02:04 vald_tmj        3) We are a school in China. Are there companies in China that offer Koha support in Asia in Chinese and English?
02:03 wizzyrea        :)
02:03 wizzyrea        ayep - the answer to "is there someone to help" is definitely "yes"
02:03 vald_tmj        Ok, what I meant by "you" is if there is information available or someone available to help us if/when we need it.  Thanks for the above mentioned information regarding support companies.
02:02 wizzyrea        also there's a manual :P
02:02 wizzyrea        :)
02:01 wahanui         please see http://koha-community.org/support/paid-support/ for a list of paid Koha support vendors.
02:01 wizzyrea        paid support?
02:01 rangi           you are currently talking in the project irc channel, so it could be any of a bunch of people :-)
02:01 rangi           Koha is of course a free and open source software project, and is not owned by any one company/organisation .. so when you say "would you" we need to know who you mean when you say you :-)
02:01 wizzyrea        http://manual.koha-community.org/3.10/en/tools.html#patronimport
02:00 wizzyrea        http://manual.koha-community.org/3.10/en/implementation.html#imp-migration
02:00 rangi           im sure if you wanted to pay one of the many support companies to walk you throw it step by step one of them would
02:00 vald_tmj        2) Would you like to see the data from our systems we are currently using?
01:59 vald_tmj        I have a few more questions, 1) What kind of instruction is there available with Koha regarding the transfer of data? Do you walk us through it, send us step by step instruction?
01:58 wizzyrea        athena shouldn't be a big problem
01:57 vald_tmj        Yes we can get both systems out in a tab delimitetd.
01:56 rangi           so no binary mess, but some kind of consistently delimited text format, and then you can get it in
01:56 rangi           you have to get the data out in a sane format, or there is no hope
01:55 rangi           if you cant get the data out, then there's no way to get it in :-)
01:54 vald_tmj        What are our options if we can't?
01:51 vald_tmj        I'll do some checking and will get back to you in a few minutes.
01:50 eythian_        hi
01:49 * wizzyrea      waves to eythian
01:49 wizzyrea        or some delimited format?
01:49 wizzyrea        from TESS
01:49 wizzyrea        can you get the data out in CSV?
01:48 vald_tmj        Hi there, I'm wondering if it's possible to transfer data from our current systems which are Athena and TESS student information systems?  Is it going to be difficult to transfer our student information to your system?
