| 11:22 | owen | kados: if you get time to look at the new z3950 search with me, give me a holler. |
| 11:24 | paul | hello owen & good morning |
| 11:24 | owen | Hi paul |
| 11:24 | What's new? | |
| 11:25 | hdl | hello |
| 11:25 | paul | i'm adding some nice new features. |
| 11:25 | toins has ended the code cleaning. | |
| 11:25 | the one i'm working on this afternoon is a simple one : | |
| 11:26 | the library will be able to define what is shown in the result list, depending on itemtype of the doc. | |
| 11:26 | for exemple, for a book <title>- <author>... | |
| 11:26 | and for a website, only the href link | |
| 11:28 | owen | that sounds great |
| 12:50 | Anarka | i sent a email do win32 ml asking on instruction on how to make z39.50 work on windows with 2.2.7 but still havent got any answer... should i use another ML for that question ? |
| 12:50 | paul | Arnaka : you could/should try koha ML, even if it's win32 related. I'm not sure that the core developpers are reading win32 ml |
| 12:51 | (i'm not reading it) | |
| 12:51 | Anarka | eheh okis :) |
| 12:51 | owen | Is someone actively working on the win32 version these days? |
| 12:52 | or is it just a matter of win32 people trying their best to shoehorn Koha onto windows? | |
| 12:55 | Anarka | it does work on windows, and you do have packages for it |
| 12:55 | the problem lies on the z39.50 | |
| 12:56 | the changelog of 2.2.7 makes it seem so simple but... | |
| 14:29 | pecisk | hi guys, quick question, does Koha has something for analytics? |
| 14:30 | it is meant for describing articles from journals, books, etc. | |
| 14:33 | paul | pecisk: I would answer yes, as you can define any framework for cataloguing. |
| 14:33 | pecisk | I see |
| 14:40 | _paul | (in which zebra config file I mean) |
| 14:44 | kados | _paul: default.idx |
| 14:44 | _paul | mmm... I don't have default.idx in my zebradb scope... |
| 14:45 | (hello kados) | |
| 14:45 | http://www.indexdata.dk/zebra/[…]-and-charsets.tkl | |
| 14:45 | as usual, indexdata doc is quite unclear to me | |
| 14:46 | how do I explain that I want to use /home/paul/default.idx ? | |
| 14:46 | kados | profilePath |
| 14:46 | in your .cfg file | |
| 14:46 | _paul | kados rocks, as usual |
| 14:50 | paul | it works, kados, you're a genius !!! |
| 14:50 | mmm... maybe not a genius, but at least a wonderful coder ;-) | |
| 14:50 | a quick note before leaving : I think toins is gone with code cleaning. | |
| 14:51 | he did a lot of cleaning on Biblio.pm | |
| 14:51 | some things to clean in Reserves & circ probably, but we won't touch it yet. | |
| 14:51 | now, he will work on OPAC, to synch librarian features on OPAC & check that everything is OK | |
| 14:52 | dec 8th => SAN-OP stop cataloguing anything in their previous ILS | |
| 14:52 | dec 14th => library closed, everybody works on Koha, for heavy tests. | |
| 14:53 | dec 21th => library closed again, everybody doing last tests | |
| 14:53 | dec 25-> dec 30 => library closed for holiday | |
| 14:53 | jan 2th => still closed, except maybe for developpers | |
| 14:53 | jan 3th => koha goes live on SAN-OP | |
| 14:53 | I keep finger crossed... | |
| 14:53 | kados | there is a problem you should know about |
| 14:54 | two in fact | |
| 14:54 | at NPL I don't currently have zebraop in production | |
| 14:54 | the records are updated in a batch process | |
| 14:55 | and zebraop is commented out | |
| 14:55 | there are several reasons: | |
| 14:55 | 1. it's very slow to add a new record with zebraop | |
| 14:55 | 2. it can slow down searches too | |
| 14:55 | 3. we have seem cases where the index crashed (hasn't happened in a while and ID found and fixed some bugs so it may be OK now) | |
| 14:56 | paul | 1. => did you install the last release of zebra ? |
| 14:56 | kados | 4. there is a problem with the way that the zebra connection is created -- in batch procedures it will fail |
| 14:56 | paul | because it seems to have fixed a slowness in add iirc |
| 14:56 | kados | yes, and I haven't tested yet |
| 14:57 | but we do run the latest version at NPL | |
| 14:57 | of the 1.x series | |
| 14:57 | 2.0 needs more testing IMO | |
| 14:58 | I would recomment trying bulkmarcimport to see an example of the problem with the connection object | |
| 14:58 | paul | ok, i'll try to give it a try asap. |
| 14:58 | does it mean zoom is bugguy ? | |
| 14:58 | or zebra ? | |
| 14:58 | dewey | well, zebra is #1 for me |
| 14:59 | paul | you spoke of 2 problems ? what is the 2nd one ? |
| 14:59 | kados | the connection object was the second |
| 14:59 | sorry :-) | |
| 15:00 | paul | OK. do you think it's a ZOOM / zebra / Perl problem ? |
| 15:00 | kados | I'm not sure if it's zoom that's buggy, koha's method of creating the object (in Context.pm), or Zebra that is dropping it |
| 15:01 | paul | are you using mod_perl ? |
| 15:01 | kados | no |
| 15:01 | paul | shame. because I would have suggested that the drop is in fact a timeout. |
| 15:01 | but without mod_perl, it can't be. | |
| 15:02 | (as the process is a fresh one on every request) | |
| 15:02 | kados | it's on the command line so I think it's unrelated to mod_perl |
| 15:03 | paul | it's strange that update_items works & koha don't... |
| 15:03 | kados | bulkmarcimport you mean? |
| 15:03 | paul | no, update_items. |
| 15:04 | (or i missed something) | |
| 15:04 | kados | bulkmarcimport doesn't work for me |
| 15:04 | update_items does | |
| 15:04 | paul | if I understand : updating zebra though koha don't work, but through update_items works. |
| 15:04 | kados | updating through koha works sometimes, sometimes it doesn't |
| 15:04 | paul | mmm... OK, understood : update_items don't use ZOOM to reindex |
| 15:04 | kados | right |
| 15:05 | paul | ok, I have to leave. |
| 15:05 | my wife is waiting for me for dinner, very impatiently | |
| 15:05 | have a good day. | |
| 15:05 | kados | hehe |
| 15:05 | you too | |
| 15:05 | paul_away | (& see you tomorrow maybe) |
| 16:23 | mtnbkr | Hello |
| 16:23 | dewey | hello, mtnbkr |
| 16:26 | mtnbkr | I am having a heck of a time installing Koha for a client. The server is Gentoo linux (everything veryrecent)... The koha installer script tells me that GD::BarCode is not installed when it is, and there are a couple red lines printed just as it starts checking perl modules: http://rafb.net/paste/results/5MDnYo73.html can anyone offer some assistance? |
| 17:32 | cm | hi kados. Just found your mail about bug 1215. I checked to make sure we're still having the problem. |
| 17:32 | kados | hey cm |
| 17:32 | cm | hey. :) |
| 17:33 | you're right; it probably is implementation. ;) | |
| 17:34 | kados | working now? |
| 17:35 | cm | nope. All I see is a blank 'issues' when a book is checked out, & no previous issues section at all. |
| 17:35 | this is with an up-to-date npl template. | |
| 17:37 | kados | NPL's all committed so I don't get it |
| 17:37 | (there was one uncommitted change to Circ2.pm, but it's unreleated) | |
| 17:37 | so let me just make sure I understand | |
| 17:38 | cm | ok |
| 17:38 | kados | you have items with issues from, say, yesterday |
| 17:38 | sorry ... borrowers | |
| 17:38 | with issues from yesterday or some time in the past | |
| 17:39 | and the issues just show up in issues, not in previous issues | |
| 17:39 | and today's issues show up in issues too, eh? | |
| 17:39 | the code that splits them up is pretty simple to understand | |
| 17:39 | it's in circ/circulation.pl | |
| 17:39 | around line 200 or so | |
| 17:39 | line 216 actually | |
| 17:40 | my $issueslist = getissues($borrower); | |
| 17:40 | # split in 2 arrays for today & previous | |
| 17:40 | foreach my $it (keys %$issueslist) { | |
| 17:40 | my $issuedate = $issueslist->{$it}->{'timestamp'}; | |
| 17:40 | $issuedate =s/-//g; | |
| 17:40 | etc | |
| 17:42 | cm | yeah. it's actually weirder than that now. when you bring up the issuing screen for a patron, |
| 17:43 | and check out a book, it issues it, but it doesn't show up in the list of issues onscreen, | |
| 17:43 | and it doesn't immediately update the number of books out either. | |
| 17:44 | if you refresh, it asks you to confirm the issue because it's already out to that patron, and if you confirm it, | |
| 17:45 | the number of items out is updated but nothing ever shows up under the Issues section, and the Previous Issues | |
| 17:45 | section never appears at all. | |
| 17:45 | I'll try it in something other than firefox to make sure it's not the browser. | |
| 17:48 | yep, same thing in mozilla. Unfortunately I don't have Opera installed right now for a completely different perspective. :/ | |
| 17:50 | kados | I think throwing some warns in circulation.pl is the way to troubleshoot this |
| 17:50 | lets take a look at what that timestamp looks like | |
| 17:50 | my $issuedate = $issueslist->{$it}->{'timestamp'}; | |
| 17:50 | owen | kados, haven't we had problems with items not displaying when an itemtype was missing or something like that? |
| 17:50 | kados | add: |
| 17:50 | warn $issuedate; | |
| 17:50 | after that | |
| 17:51 | owen: ahh, good one ... yes | |
| 17:55 | cm | the warn would be in the log, right? if so, then it said this: |
| 17:56 | [Tue Dec 05 15:47:07 2006] [error] [client 192.168.1.210] HERE : 8 / (99 for 863 at /usr/local/koha/intranet/modules/C4/Circulation/Circ2.pm line 655., refer | |
| 17:56 | er: http://circ.ccfls.org/cgi-bin/[…]borrower=25102119 | |
| 17:56 | [Tue Dec 05 15:53:43 2006] [error] [client 192.168.1.210] HERE : 9 / (99 for 863 at /usr/local/koha/intranet/modules/C4/Circulation/Circ2.pm line 655., refer | |
| 17:56 | er: http://circ.ccfls.org/cgi-bin/[…]borrower=25102119 | |
| 17:56 | kados | hmmm |
| 17:56 | I don't see the warn | |
| 17:56 | try this instead: | |
| 17:57 | warn "ISSUEDATE".$issuedate; | |
| 17:59 | cm | um, same sort of output. |
| 18:00 | owen, do you mean the old itemtype or the ccode? If it's the ccode, I don't have those yet, which may explain it. | |
| 18:03 | kados | cm: are you sure the error log is the right one? |
| 18:03 | cm: and you're issuing books ? | |
| 18:04 | cm | koha-error_log? yeah, books. |
| 18:04 | kados | and you're sure it's the right circulation.pl that you edited? |
| 18:04 | because you should see a ISSUEDATE2006blahblah in the log | |
| 18:07 | cm | yeah, pretty sure. I put the warn on line 220 right after my $issuedate = $issueslist->{$it}->{'timestamp'}; |
| 18:07 | kados | weird |
| 18:09 | cm | indeed. |
| 06:11 | btoumi | hi all |
| 06:12 | paul | kados: sleeping or around ? |
| 10:14 | kados | hi paul |
| 10:14 | paul | hello kados & good morning |
| 10:14 | hdl | hello kados. |
| 10:15 | kados | hi hdl |
| 10:15 | toins | hello kados |
| 10:15 | kados | paul: did you have luck reproducing the problem with zebraop using bulkmarcimport? |
| 10:15 | hi toins :-) | |
| 10:19 | paul | no, I could not try it this morning. |
| 10:19 | but I hope working on this this afternoon. | |
| 10:20 | kados : i wrote 2 mails on koha-devel, waiting for an answer from you (just in case you did not read koha-devel when waking up ;-) ) | |
| 10:45 | kados | paul: responded to both |
| 10:47 | 1. searching still works | |
| 10:47 | 2. the index can be completely rebuilt while the system is running, and quite quickly | |
| 10:48 | paul | last question : how do you know that index has crashed ? |
| 10:48 | kados | because zebraop fails |
| 10:48 | paul | so, you have something in koha logs, right ? |
| 10:48 | kados | errors in koha logs, and on zebra logs |
| 10:49 | paul | ok, thanks. we will hunt them next week. |
| 10:49 | kados | yes, and some error like ES immediate execution failed |
| 10:49 | (maybe other errors too) | |
| 10:49 | paul | i'll drop a mail to SAN to warn them. |
| 10:49 | kados | paul: now I have a question for you ;-) |
| 10:49 | paul: it seems that acquisitions is still broken ... | |
| 10:50 | at least in dev_week with npl templates (which are fully in synch with rel_2_2) | |
| 10:50 | do you have any libraries using acquisitions running 2.2.7? | |
| 10:50 | paul | yep |
| 10:50 | kados | (ie, to prove they are working?) |
| 10:50 | strange | |
| 10:50 | so maybe it's the templates | |
| 10:50 | I'll investigate today | |
| 10:51 | paul | what kind of bug ? |
| 10:51 | kados | when receiving an order |
| 10:51 | there are several problems | |
| 10:52 | difficult to describe | |
| 10:52 | koha.smfpl.org is a good place to observe it | |
| 10:52 | there is one supplier, amazon | |
| 10:54 | so suppose I order 4 items | |
| 10:54 | when I receive a parcel, it doesn't handle the count properly | |
| 10:55 | also, after saving the item, the page reloads and says 0 bibliographic items received | |
| 10:56 | paul | mmm... check for a tmplate problem, because nobody reported anything about this for me. |
| 10:56 | kados | ok, will do |
