20:55 agoforth Cool, thanks a lot for your help pianohacker and eythian. I appreciate it.
20:34 eythian You can just add, it's how I always did it. The structure can get fiddly but isn't terrible.
20:17 agoforth Are there any other tables or gotchas I need to be aware of, or can I just insert into accountlines for the fines and issues and old_issues for the current and historical checkouts?
20:14 agoforth Okay, that makes sense.
20:14 pianohacker agoforth: reset it to whatever the highest issue_id is in old_issues, plus 1
20:13 pianohacker agoforth: too many moving parts for too little benefits
20:13 agoforth As an alternative strategy, would it make sense to call AddIssue() and AddReturn() for each checkout and let Koha handle the details of the database?
20:09 agoforth You mean reset the auto-increment counter on issue_id to 1?
20:08 agoforth What should it be reset to?
20:04 pianohacker agoforth: one thing; if you're inserting into old_issues, you'll need to reset auto_increment on the issues table
20:04 pianohacker I don't think there's an official method for fines or checkout history... DB insertion is your best bet
20:03 agoforth I'm working on migrating a library from a different ILS to Koha and I want to migrate the current fines and the checkout history for each patron. Is there a way to do that through the "official" import methods (like the "Import patrons" tool), or should I just write some Perl and/or SQL to insert them into the database?
19:58 tcohen later #koha
19:47 * tcohen leaves the oneliner as plan b, tries Text::Diff for now
19:45 tcohen hahahahahahahaha
19:45 pianohacker concatenates the set difference of two strings or some nonsense
19:45 pianohacker in perl 6 everything can find a waaaay
19:43 * barton would be even more impressed if -.- was valid perl.
19:43 pianohacker oh, I have confidence you'll find a way
19:42 barton *pianohacker.
19:42 barton my new goal in life is to get pianhacker to say that to me.
19:31 tcohen hahahaa
19:29 pianohacker don't perl at me in that tone of voice
19:29 pianohacker whaaaat
19:27 tcohen -.-
19:26 pianohacker tcohen: hashref could be as simple as %new{grep {$old{$_} ne $new{$_}} keys %new}
19:26 tcohen it knows the dirty values
19:26 tcohen DBIx should have something
19:26 pianohacker yeah
19:20 barton oh nevermind, that's doing a 'qx'
19:20 tcohen the import does it using a js lib
19:18 barton tcohen: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=798088
19:09 tcohen how does the import diff work?
19:07 pianohacker hmm
19:03 tcohen do we have some lib for that already?
19:02 tcohen pianohacker++
19:02 tcohen ModBiblio puts something like BEFORE=>
19:02 pianohacker diff is easy to calculate for a basic hashref, that would be great for the logs
19:01 kidclamp I think you'd have to log the whole thing (or all the fields it can affect) or log the hold as is and all parameters passed in
19:01 tcohen ok
19:00 nengard again i'd like to see the old and the new - i want to know that it used to be pick up at library b and now it's pick up at library a
19:00 tcohen you pass several params, what to change
19:00 nengard hmmm
19:00 nengard oh
19:00 tcohen which (of course) modifies a reserve
19:00 tcohen i was looking at ModReserve
19:00 kidclamp what case tcohen?
18:59 tcohen that's not the case i'm thinking of
18:59 nengard we log the addition of an item - so could it be the addition of a hold
18:59 tcohen in that case, you would log the creation
18:59 tcohen nengard:
18:59 nengard and for catlaoging and items too
18:59 nengard for patrons we log 'adding'
18:59 nengard but for holds - the before is 'not on hold' so what are you logging?
18:59 nengard I kind of wish it logged the before and the after on all logs
18:59 nengard that's a good question ...
18:58 nengard hmmmm
18:56 tcohen :-D
18:56 tcohen ?
18:56 tcohen does it hold'
18:56 tcohen on logging holds
18:55 * kidclamp only dresses like a lumberjack, is not a logger
18:55 tcohen so, logging happens before the action takes place
18:55 tcohen we log (on the info field) the old thing
18:55 tcohen it seems to me that every place we log stuff
18:55 nengard logging is good ;)
18:53 tcohen anyone to talk about logging?
17:59 kidclamp stupid mouse drift
17:58 kidclamp sql access
16:59 reiveune bye
16:26 TGoat thank you druthb!
16:26 druthb I would think so, TGoat, if the readers can handle that and treat 'em as if they were barcodes.
16:25 TGoat hey #koha - can anyone tell me if a library currently using RFID can use the RFID UID in place of a barcode for an item? The library I'm speaking with doesn't want to use or create barcodes anymore and would like to consolidate down to just the RFID UID and not worry about adding barcodes anymore
16:03 gaetan_B bye
15:19 bag morning
14:10 huginn mveron: The operation succeeded.
14:10 mveron @later tell Joubu : Test plan of Bug 16849 needs clarification (should a restriction prevent discharges?)
13:50 mveron hi drojf

12:26 oleonard When the $Price template plugin is used, should the currency symbol be displayed?
11:59 druthb yeah. It was wicked hot here, all weekend.
11:58 oleonard We had a rainy Fourth yesterday, but I'll take that over blazing hot any time
11:58 druthb :) Gonna be toasty here. With the humidity, it'll feel like up near 110F by mid-afternoon.

11:21 drojf now i miss all the secrets
11:21 drojf rangi protected his twitter account. bad luck for lurkers without a proper account :/
11:19 eythian haha
11:19 eythian yep, it looked a bit risky a few days out.
11:18 drojf "2016 i spent all summer at a beer festival" is a cool thing to say
11:18 drojf great timing!
11:18 eythian I was at a beer festival, so yeah
11:18 drojf was it good?

11:17 eythian @wunder ams
11:17 eythian hi drojf
11:15 drojf hi again
10:25 drojf asgeirr: something like that ^ there are probably several ways to do it
10:24 pastebot "drojf" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "asgeirr: change default z3950 import server" (12 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/14
10:18 drojf asgeirr: you can do that with jquery. if there is an easier way i don't know it
09:50 asgeirr drojf, thanks for your reply. I know I can choose it from the dropdown. I was wondering if there was any way it would be preferred without making the cataloguer make this choice every time.
09:49 drojf is it just me, or is it not possible to delete intranetuserjs? it does not want to save if i clear the field
09:34 drojf i don't think there is a syspref to set it (may be wrong)
09:34 drojf asgeirr: if you want to change the behaviour of the import button itself, you could probably do that with jquery
09:33 drojf asgeirr: you can choose a framework when you hit the right side of the import via z39.50 button
09:21 asgeirr After having created at MARC framework, is there any way I can make this my preferred framework? When I copy catalogue via Z39.50, the default framework is chosen unless I actively choose to use my new framework
08:38 LibraryClaire morning atheia :)
08:36 atheia G'morning!

01:55 wizzyrea o/*HIGHFIVE*\o
01:55 wizzyrea "naturally!"
01:55 wizzyrea my first reaction was
01:54 wizzyrea hehe
01:54 jcamins Naturally. Why else? :P
01:54 jcamins Watermelon syrup for cookies!
01:54 wizzyrea but why boil it?
01:54 jcamins Watermelon was inexpensive.
01:53 wizzyrea what compelled you to find this out?
01:53 wizzyrea that sounds interesting
01:50 huginn jcamins: The operation succeeded.
01:50 jcamins @later tell wizzyrea Boil watermelon long enough, and it will taste like candied sweet potato. It's very peculiar.
