Time Nick Message 00:13 wajasu i found that if the GetNormailzedISBN routine in Koha.pm doesn't remove the tailing " (v.1)" and such, then the Business::ISBN returns a blank ISBN and that gets submitted inthe URL to Amazon. Thus no cover image. I tried $isbn =~ s/(.*)( \| | \()(.*)/$1/; and now i am getting more cover images. 00:13 wizzyrea that's a bug 00:13 wajasu yup 00:14 wajasu i'll write it up and a patch and give a test. i think my librarian will be happy 00:19 eythian http://www.modernperlbooks.com/mt/2013/05/ejecting-cgipm-from-the-perl-core.html 00:20 wajasu whoa! 00:26 tcohen nice reading eythian ! 03:25 jenkins_koha Starting build #123 for job Koha_3.10.x (previous build: SUCCESS) 03:26 rangi bgkriegel++ 04:06 jenkins_koha Project Koha_3.10.x build #123: SUCCESS in 40 min: http://jenkins.koha-community.org/job/Koha_3.10.x/123/ 04:06 jenkins_koha Kyle M Hall: Bug 10293 - Bug 9930 needs to be reverted for 3.10.x 04:06 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=10293 blocker, P5 - low, ---, kyle.m.hall, Pushed to Stable , Bug 9930 needs to be reverted for 3.10.x 04:06 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=9930 critical, P5 - low, ---, kyle, Pushed to Stable , can't update patron info in ccsr 04:30 cait good morning #koha 04:31 eythian hi cait 04:31 cait hi eythian 04:31 cait still working? 04:31 eythian haven't broken yet, no 04:32 cait good 04:34 eythian isn't it a bit early there? 04:36 cait normal time 04:36 cait shortly after 6 04:36 eythian a bit early, that's what I said :) 05:53 cait hm extra grey monday... 05:53 cait @wunder Konstanz 05:53 huginn cait: The current temperature in Taegerwilen, Taegerwilen, Germany is 6.7°C (7:50 AM CEST on May 27, 2013).

What did you want that feature for? 11:27 kf my fast add tempalte is broken... missing all the fields 11:28 kf ok, the big bad bug is on me... but I don't understand how it happened, i am quite sure I did only hide fields I didn'twant 11:29 kf but... where do I have a working framework. hm. 11:33 jcamins Myshkin was just cheated. :( There was a bird on the window sill, and as soon as he got close it flew away. 11:33 jcamins So unfair. 11:33 * kf nods 12:20 kf hm 12:21 kf should the copy number be counting up when you use the add multiple items thing? 12:23 jcamins kf: that'd be a neat feature. 12:29 kf i thought it used to do that 12:29 kf hm. 12:30 jcamins I don't recall it doing that, but I've often wished it did. 12:30 kf well the bug is filed :) 12:31 Viktor jcamins The high speed scanning was to make shure you don't have to wait for the system as much. Scan at your pace and let the system work at it's own pace. We'd rather wait a bit at the end than wait for every barcode scanned. 12:32 jcamins Viktor: Okay, the offline circ would not meet your needs. 12:32 Viktor jcamins I do still think we will need it but I will try to benchmark scanning with Plack enabled for the staff interface before developing anything new. 12:33 kf Viktor: I think watiting at the end can take a lot longer because of the problems being missed 12:33 Viktor jcamins No. At least I don't think so. It's for those days when you have a class of 20 kids with ten books each and you have to work the fastest you can. 12:33 kf or just simple things like a popup for the materials note 12:33 kf *shrug* 12:34 kf bug 10245 12:34 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=10245 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, chrish, Needs Signoff , OPAC items table CSS classes 12:34 kf bug 10346 12:34 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=10346 trivial, P5 - low, ---, oleonard, NEW , "Add multiple copies" should be labelled "Add multiple items" 12:34 kf bug 10347 12:34 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=10347 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, oleonard, NEW , Deactivate "Add item" button when "Add multiple copies" was activated 12:34 jcamins Viktor: the only reason the offline circ wouldn't work is that there's an extra step at the end where you have to approve your transactions. 12:35 Viktor kf Thing is it's easy to miss stuff just because the staff scan while looking at the barcodes and scan a bunch of books before finding out that an earlier one lit up a box that requires handling. 12:35 kf hm i am just not sure.... we were always trained to wait for the ils to confirm the checkout :) 12:35 kf I jobbed a bit at a busy public library and in an academic while in library school 12:36 kf it's probably me :) I have heard that so often that I wouldn't dare ignore the system :) 12:37 kf it will be interesting to see how the idea turns out :) 12:38 Viktor kf Thing is these guys have taken to their heart that you can change stuff in Koha and they don't like to have to wait for every single book. So I'm trying to build a workflow based on people not training them to base their workflow on the system :) 12:38 Viktor Interesting disussion about RDA! 12:38 kf Viktor: that makes a lot of sense .) 12:38 jcamins Viktor: the workflow problem is not about the technology, though, it's about the policies. 12:39 Viktor I would love to see RDA implemented since we are switching in Sweden too. But RDF does seem a little more exciting to me I have to confess. 12:39 Viktor jcamins - True! 12:39 jcamins If you had a universal policy for circulation, a batch mode would be easy. 12:40 jcamins But if you have ten rules related to every single issue, they have to be checked after every issue. 12:40 Viktor jcamins - But it's often perceived as technology "The system requires us to do it this way". But people find their own ways :) 12:40 jcamins Otherwise the librarians will be all unhappy because the system let them check out a book it shouldn't. 12:40 Viktor jcamins - I have a correction to make! 12:41 Viktor It's not a batch module per se. 12:41 Viktor The workflow should still be the same. 12:42 Viktor Just that when you scan to fast for the system to keep up you'll get a barcode queue. 12:42 jcamins I know. 12:42 Viktor Ah, sorry :) 12:42 jcamins But in order to then keep up with what I assume will be a very complex circulation policy, you'll have to tell all the librarians to go through pile of books twice. 12:42 jcamins Once to check them out, once to check that they were checked out. 12:44 Viktor I will ponder that a bit since it might be a complication. But the experience should be very nearly the same as before. Just that you will not "lose scannings" the way the sometimes do today. 12:45 jcamins You'll still lose scans, just in a different way. 12:45 Viktor If someone scans a few books and discovers a problem with the first one it's possible to forget to rescan the following books. 12:45 Viktor Hmm. 12:46 jcamins Instead of losing scans because you didn't pay attention to the alert, you'll lose scans because there are no usable alerts. 12:47 Viktor Thats not the thought - my thought is that every problem should light up a persistent alert that you will have to handle before being able to end the transaction and print a receipt. 12:47 * jcamins still thinks that the solution would cause way more problems than it would solve. 12:47 Viktor I'm sorry but I'll have to be going soon. 12:48 Viktor Noted :) 12:48 Viktor I'll think about it. 12:48 * kf hands Viktor cookies to make him still like us 12:48 Viktor LOL thanks :) 12:49 Viktor If I create a mockup, a little animations, an RFC or something -will you guys have a look at it. 12:49 Viktor ? 12:49 jcamins Sure. 12:49 Viktor Great! 12:50 Viktor Thanks for the input!

18:21 drojf jcamins: i think it is more like "report" 18:21 drojf but it depends on what is actually in there :) 18:21 jcamins drojf: I'm trying to understand what "report" means in this context. 18:22 jcamins The Hungarian translates as "report" too, but that doesn't really help much since I don't know any Hungarian, so I can't tell what it's about. 18:23 jcamins But in English we probably wouldn't publish a journal called "reports," so I was hoping maybe the German also meant review. :) 18:23 drojf looks like "account" also has this kind of meaning. at least leo tells me that, i wasn't familiar with it 18:24 jcamins Ah-ha! I think I've figured it out. So I could probably call it an assessment? 18:24 jcamins Or evaluation? 18:24 drojf i think it is more an "erzählung" kind of "bericht! something like this http://dict.leo.org/ende/?lp=ende&lang=de&searchLoc=0&cmpType=relaxed§Hdr=on&spellToler=&search=bericht#/search=Erz%C3%A4hlung&searchLoc=0&resultOrder=basic&multiwordShowSingle=on 18:24 drojf in a less fairytale-y way 18:25 drojf it could be an evaluation too 18:25 jcamins I love these Hungarian things that I have to ask for German help on. :/ 18:25 drojf it's hard to say really without knowing the contents 18:25 drojf lol 18:26 drojf i bet hungarian is a nice language to learn too 18:27 drojf isn't it 'git checkout -b newbranchname origin/master' ? 18:27 * drojf is confused 18:28 jcamins Yes. 18:28 jcamins Unless you don't call your remote origin. 18:28 jcamins Or if you don't want a branch based on master. 18:29 drojf it's probably different for b2g/firefox os, but i am really sure this is exactly how i did it last time. and it worked. 18:29 jcamins What are you doing? 18:30 drojf trying to make the web browser on my phone use duckduckgo instead of google 18:30 jcamins That requires git? 18:31 * jcamins thinks that possibly Firefox OS is not ready for primetime. 18:31 drojf if you want to build it, yes. there is no obvious option to change it in the settings at this point 18:31 drojf definitely not ready 18:32 drojf but i finally managed to build the latest version so i'd like to play a bit more with it ;) there is probably some settings file that i could just search on the phone but where is the fun in that? 18:33 jcamins drojf: I'm pretty sure that's the reasoning of everyone who decides to use the tarball and zebraqueue_daemon. 18:34 drojf lol i guess you are right 18:35 maximep hey khall, is t/db_dependent/Holds.t in bug 9394 meant to replace t/db_dependent/Reserves.t ? 18:37 drojf AH! i was in the wrong folder and setup a branch just for gaia. no idea how to get rid of that or if it matters, but in the correct folder everything works ok 19:25 drojf ok. it keeps wifi when it goes into standby and searches duckduckgo via https instead of google. got to add "firefox os developer" to my business card :P 19:26 adam_m Hello 19:27 drojf hi adam_m 19:27 adam_m I recently installed Koha, and have just been playing around with it before we actually start using it. 19:27 drojf cool. i hope you like it 19:27 adam_m I have added a library and added a few books, but it seems that the accounds i created cannot take any books out 19:28 adam_m It says there arent any available or whatnot. Is there something im missing when I add the actual book, such as the number of them to add? 19:30 adam_m And yes so far it seems like quite a good fit for our small rural school district 19:30 drojf have you set a default rule for circulation? and have you added items to the biblios? 19:30 jcamins adam_m: you need to do two things for it to work: 1) you must be creating items. 2) you must set up a default rule for circulation. 19:30 jcamins ... and drojf already answered. 19:30 jcamins jinx. 19:30 drojf ha! 19:30 drojf first time ever i was faster than jcamins :) 19:30 adam_m ah ok, that could be it, no i didn't make a rule for ciculation 19:31 * drojf makes a note in the calendar 19:32 drojf jcamins: is that really used??
