20:43 tuxayo        See you o/
20:43 tuxayo        No worries. I'm getting back on the rails :)
20:43 tuxayo        Hi, appologies, couldn't attend to both meetings. Got a hard time since 10 days to work on Koha.
20:43 davidnind     5 August 2020 at 14:00 UTC? (Get back to first week of the month + it has been at 20:00 UTC for a while)
20:42 davidnind     #topic Next meeting
20:40 davidnind     Any general business anyone wants to raise?
20:40 davidnind     #topic General business
20:40 thd           The alternative of Edge browser for Microsoft only environments should be noted.
20:40 davidnind     thanks cait for raising!
20:40 caroline      #action caroline will change the message in the manual saying that the staff side doesn't work with IE
20:40 cait          caroline++ thank you
20:40 cait          aleisha++ #string freeze
20:40 davidnind     caroline++
20:39 caroline      ok I can do that
20:39 cait          or not officially supported?
20:39 cait          or something like ti
20:39 cait          i'd probably put in a 'internet explorer is not supported by the Koha Community.
20:38 caroline      I don't mind chaging the manual, but I'm not sure what is wrong with the current sentence
20:38 davidnind     #info to announce IE 11 is no longer supported and update relevant areas, including the wiki and manual where required (davidnind)
20:38 cait          it will probably take me a while
20:37 caroline      cait: what would you change in the manual? That it *doesn't work* with IE instead of it might not work?
20:37 oleonard      I think that sounds good
20:37 cait          we could and then update the manual maybe?
20:35 davidnind     Okay, we all agree we won't support it, should we officially announce to the mailing list? (any see what reaction there is, if any)
20:35 talljoy       +1

20:34 cait          +1
20:34 aleisha       +1
20:34 caroline      no problem on our side
20:34 oleonard      +1
20:33 talljoy       yes please
20:33 cait          no support for internet explorer for staff side?
20:33 cait          should we propose makin git official?
20:32 oleonard      Edge was first released in 2015
20:32 caroline      ah ok
20:32 cait          as a Microsoft option
20:32 cait          they would ahve Edge available to them now is what we think
20:31 caroline      I think the only opposition was from places where they are locked in Microsoft products
20:31 huginn        Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=20062 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, oleonard, CLOSED FIXED, Remove support for Internet Explorer 7 in the staff client
20:31 cait          we had bug 20062
20:31 oleonard      Since their "Edge" browser has been around for a while and now comes in a Chromium-based version too
20:31 cait          was just thinking we shoudl put things in writing somewhere
20:31 cait          i'd not oppose
20:31 oleonard      I think what we're talking about is dropping support for the "Internet Explorer" product altogether
20:30 talljoy       #info Joy Nelson, ByWater Solutions
20:30 cait          the manual states: "When working in the Koha staff client it is strongly recommended that you use an up-to-date version of either Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome. Koha’s staff client may not work well in Microsoft Internet Explorer, especially older versions."
20:30 cait          yep, I added the topic, just trying to explain my thoughts there
20:29 cait          oleonard: maybe you can help out?
20:29 caroline      I saw, but it's the one in the agenda...
20:29 cait          i remember us deprecating... IE 7?
20:29 cait          but i wondered if we should update the notes int he manual
20:29 cait          this one was marked resolved wontfix now

20:02 caroline      ok!
20:02 davidnind     I'll start and we'll see who turns up!
20:02 caroline      is anyone around?
20:02 caroline      I can chair if needed
20:02 caroline      totally forgot that there was a meeting
20:01 davidnind     who is willing to chair today?
20:01 wahanui       meeting is, like, over :)
20:01 davidnind     meeting?
19:44 caroline      the title seems to be in 300 instead of 245, and maybe the author is in 210 instead of 100
19:43 caroline      I think this was a record that was imported with the wrong MARC format
19:42 tcohen        http://knihovna.pravnickyslovnik.cz/cgi-bin/koha/opac-MARCdetail.pl?biblionumber=2
19:41 caroline      ooh, no title is not good...
19:41 tcohen        link on the search results
19:41 tcohen        hence it is not building the line
19:41 tcohen        auvajs it looks like many records lack the title field
19:38 caroline      It's pretty advanced though
19:37 caroline      If you understand this, it might be helpful too https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Troubleshooting_Zebra
19:36 auvajs        np :) I'm just trying to run this software for my mother's local parish library.. but maybe koha is too robust for this purposes
19:36 caroline      https://koha-community.org/faqs/zebra-indexing-wont-work-fix-it-aka-search-stuff-up-help/
19:36 caroline      probably something like koha-rebuild-zebra
19:35 caroline      ok, maybe someone else can help you with the specific commands... I've been told my installation is "vintage" and I don't use the same commands as everyone else, ;)
19:34 auvajs        caroline: yes
19:33 caroline      do you have access to the command line terminal?
19:33 caroline      ok so then you need to use zebra to index
19:32 auvajs        Use following search engine: Zebra
19:31 caroline      I'm only familiar with zebra When you go in administration > Global system preferences > Search engine, what is the option that is selected?
19:30 auvajs        I didn't install cirussearch yet,  is this needed for indexing?
19:29 caroline      make sure you index your stuff though, I'm not getting any results
19:28 caroline      (you only have one, so if you do a search with no search term and check Knižní publikace , you should get everything
19:28 auvajs        is there a way how to make this accessible to the public?
19:28 caroline      but from here, you can get everything in advanced search and check all the items types
19:27 caroline      ah, I was talking about the staff side
19:27 oleonard-away auvajs it's only in the staff interface
19:27 auvajs        caroline: http://knihovna.pravnickyslovnik.cz/ this is the library homepage.. maybe I'm blind but I don't see any Go to the item search :O
19:26 oleonard      Sorry mtompset I'm interested in giving it a try but I've got to be afk for a while
19:24 caroline      Make a report for the Catalogue with no limits, you should get everything
19:24 caroline      for the report, it's in Reports > Guided reports
19:24 mtompset      But the js code for the webcam stuff runs wrong.
19:23 caroline      don't put any limits and click search
19:23 mtompset      And that gets dynamically loaded into the modal before it is displayed.
19:23 caroline      auvajs: from the home screen, click on Search, it will bring you to Advanced search, but right under the title, it says Go to item search, click on that
19:23 mtompset      To make 6815 easier to tweak/modify, I put the modal into its own .pl/.tt combination.
19:22 auvajs        caroline: is this in administration only? because I have no clue how to to this on the library homepage
19:22 oleonard      Can you elaborate mtompset?
19:21 mtompset      I think dynamically loaded html/js via js doesn't run CSS right on mobile. :(
19:20 caroline      then you're better with a report
19:20 caroline      If you have a lot, the item search might be too slow and/or abort
19:19 caroline      or make a report
19:19 caroline      you can go in Search > Item search and search for everything
19:19 auvajs        btw is there a way how to have a list of all books in the database?
19:18 huginn        mtompset: oleonard was last seen in #koha 26 minutes and 35 seconds ago: <oleonard> I wonder if it could be a problem with the encoding setting in Z39.50 server administration?
19:18 mtompset      @seen oleonard
19:18 huginn        mtompset: cait was last seen in #koha 22 hours, 9 minutes, and 59 seconds ago: <cait> looks misaligned
19:18 mtompset      @seen cait
19:18 mtompset      Greetings, #koha.
19:01 caroline      good!
19:00 auvajs        MARC21/USMARC and it works well :)
18:59 caroline      oh, then iso something
18:59 auvajs        I dont even have MARC8 option in the server settings
18:58 caroline      (I don't trust Z39.50 server information)
18:58 caroline      maybe try MARC8 anyway, just to check...
18:56 auvajs        the database should be in UTF and I also chose UTF encoding in the server settings
18:54 caroline      or maybe the type of MARC, like if you're trying to import UNIMARC?
18:53 caroline      my hypothesis too
18:52 oleonard      I wonder if it could be a problem with the encoding setting in Z39.50 server administration?
18:51 auvajs        oleonard: both in the search window and in Add MARC record page
18:51 caroline      that looks like 'raw' MARC, maybe?
18:50 oleonard      It looks garbled after importing it?
18:50 auvajs        is there a way how to make it human readable?
18:49 auvajs        one more question.. when I want to import a book via Z39.50 the data looks totally garbled.. like this: 20090203d2008^^^^m^^y0czey0103^^^^||
18:25 caroline      :)
18:24 auvajs        caroline: ok I get this.. thank you :)
18:23 caroline      For example, I think transcribing agency is 040$c, maybe 040 is not mandatory, but 040$c is mandatory
18:22 caroline      you probably just removed the mandatory flag at the field level and there are still some subfields that are mandatory (or the opposite)
18:21 auvajs        caroline: well I tried to make a new framework with no obligatory fields but when I chose this framework and want to create a new unit by importing it.. there are still many mandatory fields
18:21 caroline      Search for the field that you want to change, and either edit the field or the subfields, and remove the mandatory flag
18:20 caroline      choose your framework, click Actions > MARC structure
18:20 caroline      auvajs: Administration > MARC frameworks
18:19 auvajs        or actually I want all fields not to be required since I will be mostly importing the records
18:18 auvajs        Is there a way how to set up which fields in the marc records are/are not required? I'm unable to save a record because there is some stupid field "Transcribing agency" which I don't want to fill in but in the same way I'm unable to save the record... I need to set this field not required..
17:33 oleonard      ...as a hedge against continued rejection I imagine
17:32 oleonard      It is very thorough
17:32 tcohen        holy, is it that complicated?
17:30 * oleonard    makes it to step 109 of recalls test plan
17:26 tcohen        he
17:26 tcohen        it is not important but worth mentioning
17:24 tcohen        can it set 'https' on the channel subject instead?
17:23 gmcharlt      yup
17:23 tcohen        who handles huginn? is it gmcharlt ?
15:09 reiveune      bye

14:32 ashimema      #topic General development discussion
14:32 ashimema      so....
14:32 ashimema      ok.. that's everything carried forward that needs to be I think

14:32 ashimema      awesome :)

14:30 ashimema      #action ashimema to update minimum koha requirements on the website
14:30 ashimema      dang.. forgot to update requirements too
14:30 ashimema      #action tuxayo - prepare draft update to SQL11 to improve consistency for descriptions in kohastructure files
14:30 ashimema      no tuxayo again.. so lets carry that one too
14:30 ashimema      #action ashimema to propose a guideline ragarding using direction object notation rather than indirect object notation
14:29 ashimema      ok.. so I totally forgot about the direct object notation stuff.. I'll carry that one forward
14:29 ashimema      it's recorded now.. so we'll be poking you next meeting if you havent;.. hehe
14:28 ashimema      perfect :)
14:28 ashimema      #action talljoy to add the guideline as proposed to the official guidelines wiki page
14:28 talljoy       will do it!
14:28 ashimema      go for it :)
14:28 kidclamp      (informal voting)
14:28 kidclamp      add it :-)
14:28 talljoy       i'm happy to add it to the wiki page
14:27 * ashimema    is happy for the later.. I can't see anyone complaining ;)
14:27 ashimema      shall we vote on it.. or just add it as is
14:27 ashimema      sounds great to me..
14:27 ashimema      #info Use inclusive language that promotes a community where everyone feels they are represented.  Avoid terms that express or imply negative ideas that are racist, colonialist, or otherwise biased towards groups of people.  Refer to the terminology list for terms to use/avoid.
14:27 ashimema      #info Joy send a proposal for an Inclusive language guideline to the mailing lists
14:26 talljoy       the email has explanations and resources for those interested in reading more.
14:26 ashimema      oops.. shows I missed it.. my bad
14:26 talljoy       Example: Instead of using the term blacklist, use deny list which more accurately describes its function.
14:26 talljoy       Use inclusive language that promotes a community where everyone feels they are represented.  Avoid terms that express or imply negative ideas that are racist, colonialist, or otherwise biased towards groups of people.  Refer to the terminology list for terms to use/avoid.
14:26 talljoy       TERM3: Inclusive Language
14:26 talljoy       i sent the proposal on the koha-devel list.
14:26 talljoy       i did!
14:25 ashimema      tallerjoy.. did you get any further with terminology guidelines?
14:25 ashimema      perhaps we can vote on it next meeting when we are more corate
14:25 ashimema      #link https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Coding_Guidelines#.5BDRAFT.5D_ACC1:All_OPAC_pages_require_a_single.27block.27_with_the_.27.maincontent.27_class Draft Guideline
14:25 ashimema      #info Ashimema did a quick draft accessibility guideline to promote the use of  `.maincontent`
14:23 ashimema      shelving
14:23 ashimema      I'm thinking the whole template idea isn't so great at the moment.. I couldn't come up with a good bug report for is so it's perhaps not a worthwhile endeavour at this point
14:23 ashimema      #action tuxayo - write a proposal for handing over stable branches
14:23 ashimema      ok.. lets role is forward
14:22 ashimema      did I see tuxayo around?

14:07 ashimema      #startmeeting Development IRC meeting 15 July 2020
14:05 ashimema      No Joubu again however :(
14:05 ashimema      ooh.. about now aint it?
14:04 oleonard      That's what I was wondering ashimema
14:04 wahanui       somebody said next meeting was https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Next_IRC_meetings
14:04 ashimema      next meeting?
14:01 tcohen        with the same name
14:00 tcohen        drop the database and create an empty one
13:52 auvajs        since this is a fresh install maybe I can just delete the databse and run the installer again
13:49 oleonard      https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Commands_provided_by_the_Debian_packages#Database
13:49 oleonard      I don't think there is a tool specifically for dropping and recreating the db, but there is a command that gives you a mysql shell
13:48 auvajs        oleonard: cool :)
13:48 * oleonard    has visited a few times and loved it
13:47 auvajs        oleonard: yes
13:47 auvajs        is there some koha tool or do I need to manually delete it in the database?
13:47 oleonard      auvajs you're in the Czech Republic?
13:46 auvajs        oleonard: ok tnx I'll try this
13:45 oleonard      auvajs you may want to drop and recreate the database and re-run the installer
13:45 oleonard      auvajs some of the sample data is general, like bibliographic frameworks. Other sample data is really only for testing, like patrons, libraries, etc.
13:44 auvajs        oleonard: well yes I checked all the buttons, lol
13:43 oleonard      auvajs it sounds like you installed the sample data
13:43 ashimema      cait, cait1, cait2.. any of you around?
13:42 auvajs        it's a fresh new install!
13:42 auvajs        hello.. so I successfully installed koha :) now my first question.. it appears there are several libraries preinstalled. I want to delete them and have only "my" library. I managed to delete some of those that were set by the system but I can't delete some of them - "This library cannot be deleted. Patrons or items are still using it (9 patrons)." .. this is strange since I have no patrons or units at all -
13:16 lmstrand      I was just after a simple timestamp with milliseconds
13:15 lmstrand      True that :D
13:14 kohaputti     lmstrand, what you just said above is not how you are supposed to implement the proxy because it doesn't authenticate individual requests then, and also this is a bit off-topic for #koha
13:10 lmstrand      and beyond.
13:08 lmstrand      If I spam the sip server with the same message over and over again the processing time grows into over half a second.
13:07 lmstrand      the first message to the sip server to process, the one that logs in a sipdevice takes 150ms to process on my pc.
13:05 lmstrand      I'm inside a while loop, the one and only connection to the sipserver stays open for as long as the sipserver allows it to stay open.
13:03 lmstrand      And the sip server requires a new login from the sip device
13:03 lmstrand      It can't be closed, otherwise the session gets closed with the sip server.
13:03 kohaputti     you need to close the connection after being done with your business
13:03 kohaputti     and that is your issue, isn't it?
13:02 lmstrand      But the one that passes messages from my proxy server to the sip server stays open, unless the sip server closes it.
13:01 lmstrand      I'm closing the socket connection that the proxy server uses with the api endpoint after the message has been returned from the sip server.
13:00 kohaputti     lmstrand, did study socket programming yet? Maybe you are not closing the connection and the amount of available sip server gets to 0 and then it times out and only after that your proxy continues to work
13:00 lmstrand      I could just skip the sip server processing altogether and return a dummy value and see if the processing time stays stable.
12:59 lmstrand      the problem is either in the api endpoint or in my proxy server
12:59 kohaputti     I have not come across such issue with koha's sip2 server, maybe the issue is withing your proxy program?
12:59 lmstrand      My script is separate from koha plugins
12:58 lmstrand      I don't think I can use that in my case.
12:57 lmstrand      it takes too long to handle multiple concurrent inputs and the time it takes to handle the requests just grows and grows.
12:57 kohaputti     profiling is useful for optimizing your code but are you after that or something else
12:56 kohaputti     lmstrand, why?
12:55 tcohen        https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Profiling_with_Devel::NYTProf
12:55 lmstrand      I want to see how long my proxy server handles incoming SIP calls for.
12:55 lmstrand      yes
12:54 tcohen        are you trying to profile some Koha script/code?
12:54 lmstrand      I want to see how much time has passed after stuff is finished.
12:53 lmstrand      to console
12:50 tcohen        "printed"?
12:48 lmstrand      Would any of you happen to know an easy way to get a time stamp printed in a me-friendly form like  12:36:07::xxx with milliseconds?
12:40 auvajs        tcohen: well I run some other software/websites on the server, not only Koha
12:40 tcohen        sudo cpanm -i Locale::Language@2.07
12:40 tcohen        you can try
12:40 auvajs        in this phase it's still possible for me to delete the VM instance and start all over, it will only take couple minutes
12:39 tcohen        the wiki you pasted, it has a supported OS list
12:39 tcohen        anyway, Koha is tested in Ubuntu as well
12:39 tcohen        it is just that us devs test all the time on Debian
12:38 tcohen        fair enough, I like it as well
12:38 auvajs        well been using Ubuntu since more than 10 years and been totally used to it :)
12:37 tcohen        if I was you, I would actually pick Debian 9
12:37 auvajs        or if you think that starting all over with Ubuntu 20.04 would be easier I may give it a try as well
12:35 auvajs        tcohen: it shows some errors but I'll try to follow the instructions they suggest there
12:33 tcohen        he
12:33 tcohen        sorry Locale::Language
12:33 tcohen        $ sudo cpanm -i Language::Locale
12:32 tcohen        $ sudo apt install cpanminus
12:32 tcohen        ok
12:32 auvajs        libintl-perl allready installed
12:32 tcohen        and this is a packaging bug probably
12:31 tcohen        try installing libintl-perl
12:31 auvajs        I'm using Google Cloud Platform and I think thay didn't have 20.04 for the zone/region I needed
12:30 tcohen        wait
12:30 tcohen        $ sudo apt install cpanminus
12:30 tcohen        so I suggest you do
12:30 tcohen        I don't find it packaged for 19.10
12:29 tcohen        the latter, if you cannot pick an LTS
12:29 tcohen        - That you manually install the library
12:29 tcohen        - That you install on an LTS release (20.04)
12:28 tcohen        I suggest
12:27 auvajs        https://termbin.com/ibmi
12:27 tcohen        apt show koha-common
12:26 auvajs        cohen* sorry for the typo
12:26 tcohen        right
12:26 auvajs        tcohgen: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian
12:26 tcohen        apt show koha-common
12:26 tcohen        so
12:26 tcohen        you most probably installed using a Debian repository
12:25 tcohen        what instructions have you been following?
12:25 auvajs        what's the command for koha version please? :)
12:24 tcohen        go on
12:24 auvajs        Ubuntu 19.10
12:24 tcohen        if this is a packages install, it should be installed automatically, hence I repeat: what Ubuntu and Koha versions?
12:23 tcohen        mtj will be interested in the Ubuntu version, and the Koha version
12:23 oleonard      Only Locale::Language is required to continue
12:23 auvajs        tcohen: https://i.postimg.cc/0yqfc1rK/screen01.jpg
12:22 tcohen        ^^ those shouldn't block an install
12:22 tcohen        https://snipboard.io/sqDlij.jpg
12:22 tcohen        Ubuntu? What version? Is it supported? etc
12:21 tcohen        is this a packages install?
12:21 tcohen        that one shouldn't prevent the install process, specifically
12:21 tcohen        tell us more
12:21 auvajs        tcohen: well most importantly I can't continue the installation process
12:20 tcohen        Ah, it doesn't say it on the UI!
12:20 tcohen        auvajs don't worry about those that say they are used for testing purposes
12:20 auvajs        could somebody help me please?
12:18 auvajs        Hello. I'm new to koha, trying to install it on Ubuntu server. I followed the instructions and installed the software, but when I log in to the Web installer, it shows several Perl modules missing. This is strange since for example the first one is HTTPD::Bench::ApacheBench but I installed it meanwhile
12:15 oleonard      Hi tcohen
12:13 tcohen        morning
11:42 huginn        Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=25992 critical, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, Needs Signoff , SIP2 server doesn't start - Undefined subroutine set_logger
11:42 kohaputti     I submitted the fix now for SIP2 server crash: Bug 25992 – would be nice if someone could sign-off and qa it asap so people can move forward testing other sip2 patches that are waiting QA/sign-off
11:40 kohaputti     git-bz cannot handle bug reports with utf-8 chars in title :D
11:25 wahanui       hi oleopard
11:25 kidclamp      hi oleonard
11:23 oleonard      Hi all
10:42 kohaputti     khall_, I'm puzzled how you have been submitting patches for SIP2 server and not come across this, or did you hack your way through?
10:30 ashimema      hehe
10:27 cait1         ah shoudl read all the things, you could too
10:27 cait1         ashimema: maybe tcohen could - i think he pushed something already... so barrier might be lower :)
10:20 kohaputti     ok, updated koha now on multiple machines from a version before the refactoring and all have the same issue
10:11 kohaputti     nope, it fails even on installed debian package
10:08 kohaputti     I think I have had this code working on ubuntu 20.04 machine
10:06 kohaputti     The C4::SIP::Logger module doesn't export get_logger and set_logger
10:06 huginn        Bug 15253: enhancement, P5 - low, ---, kyle, Pushed to master , Add Koha::Logger based logging for SIP2
10:06 kohaputti     turns out the issue with sip2 server was within koha / the refactoring of SIP2 logging: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=15253#c102
09:13 * ashimema    is tempted to jump in and fix the automicupdate that's hanging around
09:13 ashimema      he's vaguely around now and then.. if there's something urgent tochen and I still have push rights on master and permission from Joubu to push anything important ;)
09:10 kohaputti     ok, thanks for the info
09:09 ashimema      Joubu is on his holidays
09:09 ashimema      no worries
09:09 ashimema      well.. it's an 18.11 I use and then run updatedatabase ;)
09:09 kohaputti     has Joubu been around, btw?
09:08 kohaputti     (I'm guessing your local test dataset is for master)
09:08 ashimema      perhaps
09:08 kohaputti     but maybe there has been some new db changes in master.
09:08 ashimema      think I'll give up
09:08 ashimema      hmm
09:07 kohaputti     ah well, this patch set doesn't look to have any db specific changes so maybe it shouldn't matter here
09:04 * ashimema    is not using misc3dev for this.. testing using a local test dataset
09:04 kohaputti     ashimema, but the patches in the bug are totally different?
09:03 kohaputti     ashimema, I remember the patchset that preceded this required specific version of misc_tools... Anyway, easiest way to debug is probably check why it doesn't load or just wait for joubu to rebase to current master
09:03 ashimema      I'll try applying the bug instead.. though I bet there will be conflicts
09:02 ashimema      yeah.. I checked out the branch and reset everything
08:52 nlegrand      Bonjour #koha !
08:50 ashimema      brb.. meeting
08:50 kohaputti     (with koha specific paths)
08:49 kohaputti     figured out my problem with koha-testing-docker, the kohadev-koha user doesn't have PERL5LIB set
08:43 kohaputti     ashimema, also maybe those testers used the patches that lari had signed off and added followups for...
08:42 kohaputti     I mean https://gitlab.com/joubu/Koha/commits/bug_15522
08:42 kohaputti     ashimema, so you checked out the new branch and did reset_all?
08:41 ashimema      there's feedback coming in on the bottom of the bug.. so they must be running it somehow :(
08:40 ashimema      or maybe there's another branch now.. I'll dig down the comments
08:40 kohaputti     last update 5 months ago?
08:40 ashimema      I thought Joubu had maintained his branch
08:40 kohaputti     maybe the patches just don't work anymore
08:40 ashimema      I just wanted to take a quick look at it.
08:39 ashimema      lol.. I hadn't even looked at the status ;)
08:39 kohaputti     we should mark the patches in the bug report obsolete if that is the case
08:39 kohaputti     ashimema, the status "Signed off" is wrong? I think it was added when lari tested the patches attached to the bug report, but those are not the ones that we want to use
08:35 ashimema      forever
08:35 ashimema      I've just checked out the branch.. but all I see in the circ rules page is 'Loading, please wait...'
08:34 huginn        Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=15522 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, jonathan.druart, Signed Off , New interface for revamped circulation rules
08:34 ashimema      how does one test bug 15522 ?
08:30 kohaputti     Undefined subroutine &C4::SIP::SIPServer::set_logger called at /kohadevbox/koha/C4/SIP/SIPServer.pm line 106.
08:29 kohaputti     anybody gotten SIP server work in koha-testing-docker? For me it starts but doesn't accept any connections
06:43 reiveune      hello
05:14 huginn        Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21468 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, martin.renvoize, Needs Signoff , Plugins need hooks for checkin and checkout actions.
05:14 tcohen        bug 21468
05:14 tcohen        anyone for a quick SO?
03:18 alexbuckley   ahh ok thanks for that!
03:17 huginn        Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=24909 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, tomascohen, Pushed to oldstable , Add unprivileged route to get a bibliographic record
03:17 tcohen        bug 24909
03:17 tcohen        and there's an OPAC counterpart
03:17 huginn        Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=23677 new feature, P5 - low, ---, tomascohen, Pushed to master , Add API route to get a bibliographic record
03:17 tcohen        it was bug 23677
03:16 tcohen        on that one I just added the $record->as_formatted output
03:08 huginn        Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=24908 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, tomascohen, RESOLVED FIXED, Allow fetching text-formatted MARC data
03:08 alexbuckley   good to know :) you added it in bug 24908 ?
03:06 tcohen        so it is one to rely on
03:05 tcohen        that one, specifically, won't probably change in a long time
03:05 tcohen        the more we use the APIs the more we find the design issues and make them mature
03:04 alexbuckley   it certainly does sound way simpler than loads of xslt files to maintain!
03:02 tcohen        when I wrote the /biblios route for fetching in various formats I was targeting this use case
03:02 tcohen        the cool thing about APIs, is that you can get creative and use them for whatever you want
03:01 alexbuckley   ah so its basically an alternative to customising and maintaining XSLT's?
03:01 tcohen        all
03:01 tcohen        we don't like XSLT at al
03:01 tcohen        :-D
03:01 tcohen        we don't like maintaining XSLTs
03:00 tcohen        in Theke we are starting to leverage on the API as much as we can
03:00 alexbuckley   oh interesting, I've never done any work with that before, I'll look into it. thanks so much for your help!
02:58 tcohen        as you can fetch the MARC-in-JSON record and just traverse it to get the data
02:58 tcohen        for a ByWater partner
02:58 tcohen        lukeG did a great job using the API to render stuffs on the detail view
02:57 tcohen        right
02:56 alexbuckley   as far as I can see xslt doesn't display it now, but it is visible in 'Description' tab in staff client
02:55 tcohen        extra work == does the XSLT include it already?
02:55 alexbuckley   true! I'd only want it visible in the staff client
02:54 tcohen        ^.^
02:54 tcohen        (unless you play with GET /api/v1/biblios/:biblio_id and JS
02:53 tcohen        maybe it means extra work if you need to display it on the UI
02:53 alexbuckley   590 looks to be indexed too which is a plus
02:53 aleisha       ah true
02:53 alexbuckley   ahh 590$a perhaps
02:52 tcohen        I think you should pick a 59X (local notes)
02:51 tcohen        those are authority record notes
02:51 tcohen        LOL
02:51 tcohen        Joubu is AFK for some more days, get it through QA and I'll push it :-P
02:51 alexbuckley   ah thanks aleisha
02:51 alexbuckley   its a marc21 question tcohen
02:50 huginn        Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=19532 new feature, P1 - high, ---, aleisha, Needs Signoff , Recalls for Koha
02:50 aleisha       yes tcohen bug 19532
02:50 aleisha       alexbuckley: https://www.loc.gov/marc/authority/ad667.html ?
02:50 tcohen        aleisha recalls?
02:50 tcohen        or is it item notes?
02:50 tcohen        alexbuckley are you asking MARC21 questions?
02:49 tcohen        hola
00:37 alexbuckley   hi all, a quick question. I want to enter a non-public note on a biblio record but don't want to have to add it to each individual item as you'd have to do using the 952$x. Is there an alternative suitabl marc subfield I could add a nonpublic note too?
