| 13:14 | gmcharlt | greetings #koha |
| 13:27 | lloyd_ | hey |
| 13:32 | paul | hello gmcharlt |
| 13:46 | Fallor | hello again |
| 13:46 | paul | hello Fallor (from France) |
| 13:51 | lloyd_ | is this the correct place for error files : /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/errors |
| 13:52 | paul | lloyd_: sound strange to set errors in cgi-bin, as it's supposed to be for cgi-bin scripts |
| 13:53 | lloyd_ | well Koha looks for them in /cgi-bin/koha/koha-tmpl/errors/404.pl |
| 13:53 | but my setup doesn't have that folder, only /cgi-bin/koha/errors/404.pl - wonder which is wrong, my setup or the koha redirect | |
| 13:54 | print $query->redirect("/cgi-bin/koha/koha-tmpl/errors/404.pl"); | |
| 14:05 | installer bug | |
| 14:05 | './koha-tmpl/errors' => {target => 'INTRANET_CGI_DIR', trimdir => 2}, | |
| 14:05 | so it's installing them to /cgi-bin/errors instead of cgi-bin/koha-tmpl/errors | |
| 14:07 | can someone else confirm that? :) | |
| 14:16 | gmcharlt | lloyd_: confirm that it's behaving the way you're describing, though personally I think /cgi-bin/koha/errors/404.pl is a better path than /cgi-bin/koha/koha-tmpl/errors/404.pl |
| 14:17 | either way, please file a bug | |
| 14:17 | lloyd_ | I think it's a better path too |
| 14:30 | lea | hi guys |
| 14:31 | my boss has realised that the proprietary system he wanted to try has been a failure | |
| 14:31 | he now wants to get our data into marc21 so our options are open | |
| 14:32 | once we do this, we can try something proper out | |
| 14:32 | gmcharlt | lea: great -- open options are good |
| 14:32 | lea | now, there may be a chance we can get a student working for us on this project for a good few months |
| 14:32 | I'd personally really like to have koha as the system of choice | |
| 14:33 | and considering how moodle is now the vle of choice in all colleges in Wales, I can see how koha could become the next ILS for that market too (based on conversations with other colleges) | |
| 14:34 | so, how could a persons time be best spent on contributing to moodle? I'm aware that we dont want to overlap any work and we want to write stuff that will integrate properly with the project. | |
| 14:35 | i mean, a moodle module to integrate koha would be just absolutely awesome | |
| 14:35 | you'd capture the whole welsh college market ;) | |
| 14:37 | i know probably most of you are asleep right now, so, i guess i may have to leave my irc on for the next 24 hours | |
| 14:37 | ideally, i think moodle+vufind+koha would be a potent combination | |
| 14:38 | lloyd_ | I think best way would be to write a moodle module to authenticate against koha users |
| 14:39 | then designing the moodle 'skin' to intergrate the koha opac | |
| 14:39 | Certainly an interesting idea | |
| 14:40 | gmcharlt | lea: I know there's some active work going on right now to allow vufind to work with Koha |
| 14:40 | lea: should be some results on that front very soon | |
| 14:43 | lea | so vufind is really just a standalone opac with an api to hook into a ILS? |
| 14:43 | gmcharlt | lea: pretty much, although I believe it works by copying the bib and item data into it's own Solr index |
| 14:44 | kados | but with Koha it will use the SRU interface instead |
| 14:44 | gmcharlt | lea: though I think the Koha integration may be done via on-the-fly SRU/SRW queries |
| 14:44 | snap | |
| 14:44 | kados | (hi all) |
| 14:45 | lea | hi kados :) |
| 14:46 | what's SRU? Sorry for my ignorance, i know very little about library stuff | |
| 14:47 | kados | lea: it's an upgrade for Z39.50 :-) |
| 14:47 | (not sure that will help you ;-) | |
| 14:48 | gmcharlt | lea: i.e., a standard search protocol |
| 14:48 | kados | basically, it's a standard for doing searches and retrieving records |
| 14:48 | snap again | |
| 14:48 | lloyd_ | it's like having a parrot |
| 14:49 | paul | hello kados. |
| 14:49 | kados | hiya paul |
| 14:50 | lea | ah, i understand what z9.50 is. |
| 14:50 | I'm hoping the british national library will allow us to have a limited free access to their z39.50 servers | |
| 14:50 | I think this will be the easiest way to export our data, as currently the marc21 export is pants | |
| 14:51 | lloyd_ | lea - that's just cost me £2000 |
| 14:51 | lea | Hoping that all you really need is the ISBN |
| 14:51 | lloyd_: you in the uk? | |
| 14:51 | lloyd_ | yep |
| 14:51 | lea | business use? |
| 14:51 | lloyd_ | nhs |
| 14:51 | very limited access | |
| 14:51 | cheapest possible | |
| 14:51 | lea | ah, wait, i remember you! |
| 14:51 | :) | |
| 14:51 | lloyd_ | yep, i remember you too :) |
| 14:52 | lea | heh. Well, we only have about 20K books |
| 14:52 | anyway, once that's all in marc21 i can then look at the other stuff. | |
| 14:52 | How's holidays and short loans coming on? | |
| 14:54 | lloyd_ | Contact Dave.Wilkiebl.uk, he's the guy that's just sorted us out |
| 14:59 | lea | well, I think our head librarian has a contact in there. But thanks! |
| 15:09 | fbcit | g'morning koha |
| 15:09 | gmcharlt | hi fbcit |
| 15:09 | congrats on Win32 DBD::mysql | |
| 15:10 | fbcit | tnx |
| 15:10 | if you have time to duplicate it would be appreciated :-) | |
| 16:21 | gmcharlt: do you have access to a VM setup of WinXP by chance? | |
| 16:21 | gmcharlt | no, I have a non-VM XP setup |
| 16:22 | fbcit | it sure would make repeat testing of this project easier. |
| 16:23 | it would be nice to verify a couple of times from a clean install of win32 | |
| 16:35 | matthew | I have an upgrade question concerning 2.2.9 to 3.0 that's a bit non-standard... |
| 16:36 | I am moving Koha to a different server. | |
| 16:36 | I have an sqldump of my current database. | |
| 16:37 | what do I need to do to make sure it is setup properly? Should I insert the database before I run the Koha 3.0 installer? | |
| 17:02 | gmcharlt | matthew: you should make sure that the copy on the new server is completely up and running (i.e., including the 2.2.9 software), then follow instructions at http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=22_to_30 |
| 17:03 | matthew | thanks gmcharlt |
| 17:31 | fbcit | owen: u around? |
| 17:31 | owen | Yes |
| 17:32 | fbcit | hi, it looks like you lost the favicon in opac doc-head-close.inc |
| 17:32 | fwiw | |
| 17:34 | owen | Thanks, I hadn't noticed! |
| 17:34 | fbcit | not sure who to bounce this off of, but... |
| 17:35 | submitting blank fields here cgi-bin/koha/opac-authorities-home.pl | |
| 17:35 | causes a 500 error | |
| 17:39 | owen | Hmm... I know that was a reported bug in the staff client, I wonder if it's still open... |
| 17:40 | fbcit | gmcharlt: any thoughts on this: opac-search.pl: WARNING: query problem with mt=NF ZOOM error 10014 "CCL parsing error" (addinfo: "Unknown qualifier") from diag-set 'ZOOM' at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Search.pm line 372. |
| 17:55 | gmcharlt | fbcit: you were doing a limit on format or biblioitems.itemtype, right? |
| 17:56 | fbcit: if so, your Zebra config is out of sync with Search.pm, as the previous mt index was changed to mc on 2007-11-21 | |
| 17:56 | see http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gi[…]729cd8e74e#patch5 | |
| 17:56 | fbcit | I did a rebase and reinstall this morning... would that have caught it? |
| 17:57 | opps | |
| 17:57 | zebra config | |
| 17:57 | I've been cheating | |
| 17:57 | gmcharlt | not necessarily -- the run-time copy of Zebra config files are not updated by a rebase |
| 17:57 | fbcit | backing up etc/koha and restoring over top |
| 17:57 | to avoid reconfigure | |
| 17:58 | :-\ | |
| 17:58 | gmcharlt | on 4 January I added a update_zebra_conf target to the Makefile generated by Makefile.PL |
| 17:59 | that would be one way of updating the Zebra configs | |
| 18:02 | fbcit | chris: still around? |
| 18:04 | gmcharlt: I must be missing something here. | |
| 18:04 | I just did a fresh install via 'make install' | |
| 18:05 | moved my old koha-conf.xml and koha-httpd.conf over the new ones | |
| 18:05 | restarted the zebra daemons | |
| 18:05 | but no joy | |
| 18:05 | gmcharlt | exact same error message in log? |
| 18:06 | fbcit | [Mon Jan 28 08:02:50 2008] opac-search.pl: WARNING: query problem with mt=NF ZOOM error 10014 "CCL parsing error" (addinfo: "Unknown qualifier") from diag-set 'ZOOM' at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Search.pm line 372. |
| 18:06 | maybe I'm missing something | |
| 18:06 | gmcharlt | in koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/modules/catalogue/advsearch.tmpl -- what is line 90? |
| 18:08 | fbcit | 96-98... |
| 18:08 | <!-- TMPL_IF NAME="selected" --> | |
| 18:08 | <option value="cfn,wrdl" selected="selected"> Conference Name</option> | |
| 18:08 | <!-- TMPL_ELSE --> | |
| 18:08 | opps | |
| 18:08 | 88-90 that is | |
| 18:08 | hold on... | |
| 18:09 | gmcharlt: <input type="checkbox" id="mc-<!--TMPL_VAR Name="number" -->" name="limit" value="mc:<!--TMPL_VAR Name="code" -->" /> | |
| 18:10 | gmcharlt | ok, that's correct (previously it was "mt:") -- I wonder if the templates actually in use (off of your Apache DocumentRoot) are out of date? |
| 18:12 | fbcit | they appear to reflect owen's recent changes |
| 18:12 | brb | |
| 18:19 | gmcharlt | fbcit: found problem -- intranet adv search was correct, OPAC is not |
| 18:37 | fbcit | gmcharlt: so my config is ok? |
| 18:37 | or should be... | |
| 18:37 | gmcharlt | very likely |
| 18:38 | do you have 2 minutes to test a patch | |
| 18:38 | ? | |
| 18:38 | fbcit | sure |
| 18:38 | gmcharlt | fbcit: ok, I just e-mailed it to you |
| 18:42 | fbcit | gmcharlt: same error |
| 18:42 | the script is returning 'mt' rather than 'mc' | |
| 18:43 | in the cgi string | |
| 18:43 | ie http://biblios.campus.foundati[…]y=relevance&do=OK | |
| 18:43 | rather than: http://biblios.campus.foundati[…]y=relevance&do=OK | |
| 18:43 | something in opac-search.pl... | |
| 18:45 | gmcharlt | fbcit: let's back up -- how exactly are you getting this -- directly from Advanced search in OPAC, by clicking on a facet link, or something else? |
| 18:46 | fbcit | http://biblios.campus.foundati[…]ha/opac-search.pl |
| 18:46 | I only have one itemtype at present | |
| 18:46 | "non-fiction" | |
| 18:46 | gmcharlt | fbcit: that link doesn't work for me -- DNS doesn't resolve |
| 18:46 | fbcit | sorry hold on |
| 18:46 | http://koha.foundations.edu/cg[…]ha/opac-search.pl | |
| 18:47 | selecting only that itemtype causes the error | |
| 18:50 | gmcharlt | fbcit: link doesn't work still -- resolves, but connection then times out |
| 18:50 | fbcit | ok try this...http://koha.foundations.edu:81[…]ha/opac-search.pl |
| 18:53 | gmcharlt: did that work for you? | |
| 18:53 | gmcharlt | fbcit: yes -- and when I do a search, both with and without ticking the NF box, it works -- in both cases, I get the 'writings' record |
| 18:53 | so are you still getting the mt= messages in the log -- if so, how? | |
| 18:55 | thought so ;-) | |
| 18:56 | fbcit | tnx gmcharlt |
| 18:56 | gmcharlt | I've passed on the patch |
| 19:25 | fbcit | chris: I worked on my exim4 setup some and submitted a dud patch to see if the problem is fixed. Let me know if you get it. tnx |
| 19:30 | chris | will do |
| 19:37 | got it | |
| 19:38 | looks like you fixed it good :) | |
| 19:48 | fbcit | great... you may see a second as well... I hammered it several times :) |
| 19:48 | chris | :) |
| 19:53 | fbcit | chris, kados is there any reason to keep the status of bug 1790 at critical rather than major with the patches I submitted for it this weekend? |
| 19:54 | chris | lemme just eyeball it |
| 19:54 | fbcit | there is still no failover built in |
| 19:55 | chris | yeah, thats just a major now |
| 19:55 | want me to drop it? | |
| 19:56 | fbcit | yep |
| 19:57 | chris | done |
| 19:57 | fbcit | so we really want to see this clockwheel through all existing themes until it finds one that exists |
| 19:57 | or in a specific order? | |
| 19:57 | s/this/this to/ | |
| 19:57 | chris | good question |
| 19:57 | fbcit | what if in the final analysis no themes exist? |
| 19:58 | a graceful death? | |
| 19:58 | chris | i think that if it goes for one that doesnt exist |
| 19:58 | dropping back to prog (ie the default ones that ship with koha) | |
| 19:58 | is a fair enough thing | |
| 19:58 | fbcit | what happens when kados deletes the default as he did in the bug report... ;-) |
| 19:59 | chris | we could make it clockwheel, but yu might get quite unexpected behaviour |
| 20:00 | each page showing a different theme :-) | |
| 20:00 | fbcit | like the randomly switching themes between page navigations.. |
| 20:00 | chris | yeah |
| 20:00 | fbcit | :) |
| 20:00 | talk about variety | |
| 20:00 | chris | heh |
| 20:00 | fbcit | kind of like the visualizations in media player or winamp or... |
| 20:00 | chris | :-) |
| 20:01 | i guess we decide on what we want and explain the system preference so that what happens is what people expect | |
| 20:01 | fbcit | maybe we can fall back in the order the themes are entered in the syspref with prog being last. |
| 20:01 | chris | so we can either have "default theme, if this theme doesnt exist it will fail back to the prog theme DONT DELETE THE PROG THEME" |
| 20:02 | or that | |
| 20:02 | so either we let them choose a list of themes | |
| 20:02 | or we let them choose one | |
| 20:02 | probably a list is good | |
| 20:02 | with prog being the implicit last | |
| 20:03 | fbcit | sounds good to me |
| 20:03 | I'll work on it tomorrow morning. | |
| 20:03 | chris | excellent |
| 20:08 | fbcit | chris: are the users preferences stored somewhere other than in cookies? |
| 20:09 | chris | yeah they are stored in the sessions table .. the cookie doesnt store anything |
| 20:09 | apart from an id, that matches to the sessions table | |
| 20:09 | but, nothing persistent | |
| 20:10 | if thats what you mean | |
| 20:10 | that would be a nice enhancement | |
| 20:10 | fbcit | ahh.. so if the user selects a different language that is only a session length change? |
| 20:10 | chris | yep |
| 20:10 | fbcit | # set the theme they want to use. |
| 20:10 | # and perhaps the them as well. | |
| 20:10 | in Output.pm | |
| 20:11 | I think that should be language and theme respectively | |
| 20:11 | chris | yep |
| 20:11 | fbcit | but should probably be persistent if we went through the trouble. |
| 20:19 | chris | yeah theres a bunch of systempreferences |
| 20:19 | that would be nice to let users set | |
| 03:40 | fbcit | gmcharlt: u around? |
| 03:41 | masonj | looks like he's away fbcit |
| 03:49 | fbcit | hi masonj |
| 06:43 | Yesan | Hi, Masonj |
