| 12:34 | owen | Hello #koha |
| 12:46 | paul_ | hi owen |
| 12:48 | owen | paul: maybe you know the answer to this question... Shouldn't the web installer prompt the user for a LibraryName? |
| 12:48 | paul | good suggestion. |
| 12:49 | should maybe not. but would be better... | |
| 12:49 | as well as asking for a branchcode & branchname | |
| 12:49 | maybe a 4th step ;-) | |
| 12:58 | kados | yea |
| 12:58 | that'd be good owen | |
| 12:58 | morning guys | |
| 12:58 | paul | morning kados |
| 12:58 | owen | kados: would it be helpful for me to file a bug on it? |
| 12:58 | kados | well, last night I started working on a new plan for the installer |
| 12:59 | and I did add that to my list, so probably you can leave it for now | |
| 12:59 | I really like this idea of applying specific stylesheets to 'types' of templates, based on paradigms | |
| 12:59 | login.css, wizard.css, etc. | |
| 13:00 | those are two easy examples | |
| 13:00 | owen | I was thinking about stylesheets and javascript yesterday |
| 13:00 | kados | but I'm getting hung up a bit in the session management stuff |
| 13:00 | owen | I wish we had a better way to manage includes for specific pages/modules |
| 13:00 | paul | kados : do you know when you'll release a 3.0beta version ? |
| 13:00 | kados | chris re-wrote part of it for the installer to be more secure, but I can't seem to figure out how to add a new sesion param |
| 13:00 | owen: yea, I was thinking the same thing | |
| 13:01 | paul: there are three things holding me back: | |
| 13:01 | 1. installer | |
| 13:01 | 2. re-write members management | |
| 13:01 | 3. a bit more testing | |
| 13:01 | paul | 1. = you mean the tech part of the install, right ? |
| 13:01 | kados | paul: yep |
| 13:02 | MJ made a start of it, but it's not finished yet | |
| 13:03 | paul | do you have read my 5hours ago mail about git questions ? |
| 13:03 | kados | paul: yep |
| 13:03 | cool | |
| 13:03 | yea, git++ | |
| 13:03 | paul | and enjoy it more and more... |
| 13:04 | bye then | |
| 13:31 | jaron | is there currently a web browseable version of current development online? or is there a public way to check out the latest? |
| 14:42 | kados | jaron: didn't I send you the development package at one point? |
| 14:44 | jaron | kados: yeah, I just was wondering about the latest and greatest in the repo. |
| 14:44 | no immediate need--just wondering | |
| 14:44 | kados | http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?[…]lopment:git_usage |
| 14:44 | jaron | with the change to git and all |
| 14:44 | kados | git.koha.org is what you want |
| 14:44 | jaron | ah, ok thanks |
| 14:44 | kados | and the wiki page explains how to use it |
| 14:44 | jaron | cool thanks |
| 14:44 | kados | we haven't done an announcement yet |
| 14:44 | because the core of us are still experienceing a few growing pains with git | |
| 14:44 | but it's getting easier all the time :-) | |
| 14:44 | jaron | so I've seen ;) |
| 14:45 | kados | motto âEvery time a patch falls on the floor, a kitten diesâ? |
| 14:45 | :-) | |
| 14:47 | owen: you about? | |
| 14:47 | owen: I'm done with my phone call | |
| 14:47 | :-) | |
| 14:48 | owen | Okay, first on my list: I still don't have access to the error log on arwen |
| 14:48 | I'm trying to add biblios and getting an error from additem.pl. | |
| 14:48 | kados | ok, give me a sec |
| 15:06 | done | |
| 15:06 | owen: neeext? :-) | |
| 15:07 | owen | Should Zebra be automatically indexing for me? |
| 15:07 | kados | nope that's what zebraquueue.sh is for |
| 15:07 | in your home dir | |
| 15:08 | make sure zebra's running first | |
| 15:08 | owen | Oh yeah, forgot about that |
| 15:09 | How long before records appear in my search? | |
| 15:09 | kados | should be instant |
| 15:10 | ie: | |
| 15:10 | catalog something | |
| 15:10 | run zebraqueue | |
| 15:10 | find it in the opac | |
| 15:10 | if it's not working, make sure that zebra's running | |
| 15:12 | jaron | does zebraqueue do the commits from the shadow registry? |
| 15:14 | kados | it can be configured to use shadow indexes |
| 15:14 | well, by default it does actually | |
| 15:15 | so internally the steps are: | |
| 15:15 | 1. save record to database and update zebraqueue table to indicate an index is required | |
| 15:16 | 2. run zebraqueue script periodically to 'flush' out necessary changes | |
| 15:16 | that's one way to do it anyway | |
| 15:16 | or you can opt to have he index update on the fly as you catalog | |
| 15:16 | (and as you circulate) | |
| 15:16 | which is fine for most libraries except the largish ones | |
| 15:17 | jaron | ah, ok. |
| 15:18 | kados | establishing a good set of conventions for general use is what's so difficult about doing a project release for a diverse community like ours |
| 15:18 | jaron | I was wondering why not do immediate commits but I could see for a large library why it might not work |
| 15:23 | paul | jaron: because it seems that, if 2 librarians catalogate simultaneoulsy, zebra may be confused by 2 concurrent "commits", and ... the zebra database is corrupted. |
| 15:23 | by corrupted, we mean : impossible to use it anymore for anything, need to rebuild it completly | |
| 15:23 | happends more than once a week at NPL iirc (kados will confirm) | |
| 15:24 | jaron | paul: ah, ok |
| 15:24 | good to know | |
| 15:24 | paul | s/happends/happened/ |
| 15:24 | kados | well, that was several months ago |
| 15:24 | jaron | so is zebraqueue set up as a cron job there and run every night or something? |
| 15:24 | kados | the index hasn't crashed at all since the latest release of zebra |
| 15:24 | paul | really ? |
| 15:24 | kados | jaron: it can run every minute if you want |
| 15:25 | paul | even without zebraqueue_start & real time commit ? |
| 15:25 | wow... | |
| 15:25 | kados | paul: NPL still have a nightly update, but Stow and Barberton use zebraque every minute I believe |
| 15:26 | paul | IPT has zebraqueue every minute as well, but she finds annoying having to wait up to 60 seconds every time she creates an authority... |
| 15:26 | ... to find it in the biblio & create the biblio | |
| 15:26 | kados | *nod* |
| 15:27 | paul | (thus the "auto create autority feature hdl reported last week on koha-devel...) |
| 15:27 | kados | I'm pretty sure that zebra's issues with asynchronous updates are fixed |
| 15:28 | jaron | so can one insert a record (into the shadow) at the same time the system enters "commit mode" now? |
| 15:28 | because otherwise I could see conflicts happening | |
| 15:31 | kados | yes |
| 15:54 | morning chris | |
| 16:48 | foxnorth: how's it going? | |
| 16:48 | foxnorth | kados: not bad- i'm testing out that yui rich text editor |
| 16:48 | kados | still looking positive? |
| 16:48 | foxnorth | kados: need to adjust my marceditor stylesheet and see what happens |
| 16:49 | well, i need to clean up my marceditor html before sticking it in that yui editor, i think | |
| 16:49 | i'll make it match what i tried for that test i did | |
| 16:50 | and use 1 div for a tag, with a span for each subfield | |
| 16:50 | and each subfield delimiter/code | |
| 16:50 | kados | what about using stock marcxml? |
| 16:50 | syntax | |
| 16:50 | woudl that be too hard? | |
| 16:50 | not enough block-level elements maybe ... | |
| 16:51 | I dunno, feel free to ignore me :-) | |
| 16:52 | foxnorth | well, i'll still need to transform that marcxml into divs and spans and what not... |
| 16:52 | although i could be doing that in javascript as opposed to xslt | |
| 16:52 | kados | xslt++ |
| 16:52 | thinking further | |
| 16:52 | yea, I like div + span | |
| 16:53 | foxnorth | i'm all ears! |
| 16:53 | kados | maybe have <div id="leader"> |
| 16:53 | foxnorth | i also give each span a unique id which is reversible back to the marcxml |
| 16:53 | kados | <div class="controlfield" class="tag008"> |
| 16:53 | foxnorth | hhm lemme look at a marcxml sample |
| 16:53 | kados | div class="datafield" class="tag040" |
| 16:54 | http://www.loc.gov/standards/m[…]burg/sandburg.xml | |
| 16:54 | might as well use the nomenclature | |
| 16:54 | foxnorth | that's exactly the one i have :) |
| 16:54 | and yeah, that's what i'm thinking in terms of the divs | |
| 16:54 | and then each subfield is in its own span (so it's inline) | |
| 16:54 | kados | yea |
| 16:54 | sounds like a plan to me | |
| 16:55 | and you can add new class defs for plugins | |
| 16:55 | or just walk the DOM (yuk?) | |
| 16:55 | the trickiest stuff happens around rules for repeatibility, order, and plugins | |
| 16:56 | I guess first step is get the interface looking swank :-) | |
| 16:56 | foxnorth | np! i'm eager for fresh ideas :) |
| 16:57 | yeah, for repeatibility i added in a a suffix to the tag id, so 500-1, 500-2 | |
| 16:57 | but we definately need something sane and understandable for future plugins | |
| 16:57 | kados | makes sense |
| 16:57 | foxnorth | so i'm happy to think to about it some more |
| 17:58 | kados: looks like these resizing handles are produced by a _moz_resizing attribute | |
| 17:59 | kados: they're showing up using the yui editor as well | |
| 17:59 | and this attribute is affecting the <table> the editor is in | |
| 17:59 | i spose i could go with straight divs w/o a table | |
| 18:04 | hhmm...this comment http://codingforums.com/archiv[…].php?t-97810.html doesn't bode well for getting rid of resizing handles... | |
| 18:11 | kados | huh |
| 18:12 | foxnorth | but going tableless would be ok i think |
| 18:12 | kados | tableless+= |
| 18:12 | ++ I mean | |
| 18:12 | hmmm | |
| 18:13 | foxnorth | just need to provide columns for tags, 2 indicators and then subfields... |
| 18:13 | kados | how about using <dl> ? |
| 18:14 | thought not using tables for tabular data is annoying :-) | |
| 18:14 | foxnorth | yeah... |
| 18:14 | hhhmm | |
| 18:14 | kados | ... when you insert an image into the editor ... |
| 18:14 | any reason we need an image? | |
| 18:14 | foxnorth | well in my case it's a table that has this _moz_resizing attribute |
| 18:15 | and that's causing these resizing handles | |
| 18:15 | kados | ahh |
| 18:15 | foxnorth | i too tried setting that attr to false with no results |
| 18:15 | so that post there just confirmed my suspicions.... | |
| 18:15 | kados | right |
| 18:16 | foxnorth | i think we can get it to work w/o the table though |
| 18:16 | the tables annoying anyway :) | |
| 18:16 | kados | heh |
| 18:16 | you could do the whole thing in divs and spans I think | |
| 18:17 | foxnorth | yeah i think so too |
| 18:17 | i've got smth working already | |
| 18:17 | lemme post it so you can check it out | |
| 18:19 | kados | let me know when you've posted it |
| 18:38 | owen | kados, what's the difference between git fetch and git pull ? |
| 18:39 | kados | git pull does an auto merge |
| 18:39 | git pull is really just a wrapper around git fetch and git merge | |
| 18:40 | owen | In what situations would you use each one? |
| 18:42 | kados | I think we're still working out how we want to do it for the koha project |
| 18:42 | there's a lot of flexibility in git | |
| 18:45 | part of the reason I haven't done an anouncement is because of these kinds of issues | |
| 18:45 | we need to get a bit more experience with managing git repos | |
| 19:02 | owen | kados, I guess I'm still confused about when I have to do something to re-synch with the main repository |
| 19:03 | I make changes, I commit changes, I make more changes... At some point I think, I'd better re-synch with everyone else's changes... before I submit a patch, right? | |
| 19:03 | kados | yea |
| 19:03 | that's exactly right | |
| 19:05 | owen | ...and that's when I do git pull ? |
| 19:07 | kados | well, we've been using git fetch and git rebase origin |
| 19:10 | owen | And that process merges the changes found in the main repo with my repo |
| 19:23 | kados | yes |
| 19:25 | owen | What kind of information does it provide regarding how things were merged? |
| 19:32 | kados | rebase and merge are slightly different |
| 19:32 | rebase takes the repo back to the origin and applies all the changes since the last rebase, which brings the repo up to date with the main one ... then it applies local commits as patches | |
| 19:33 | git merge takes what exists now and merges directly against the origin | |
| 19:33 | so it's two ways to do the same thing really | |
| 19:33 | and I haven't used it enough to know when to do one and when to do another | |
