| 14:19 | fbcit | g'morning koha |
| 14:21 | owen | Hi fbcit |
| 15:00 | gmcharlt | hello all |
| 15:00 | owen: got a minute? | |
| 15:01 | owen | Yes |
| 15:01 | gmcharlt | please take a look at bug 1809 -- wonder if you have any advice for the UI |
| 15:01 | one issue is that all items columns are displayed in table -- that could be cut down to a smaller set of important ones | |
| 15:04 | owen | gmcharlt: I think the only solution is to pare down the columns in that table |
| 15:04 | gmcharlt | owen: ok, thanks |
| 15:04 | owen | I wonder if it's something that could be added to frameworks definitions? |
| 15:05 | gmcharlt | owen: possible, yes, though IMO too many display settings are expressed in the MARC frameworks |
| 15:06 | owen: thought adding yet another syspref doesn't seem ideal either | |
| 15:06 | s/thought/though/ | |
| 15:06 | owen | Yeah, that's what I was thinking |
| 15:07 | If the frameworks weren't so hard to work with it might be easier to think of going with that method | |
| 15:08 | gmcharlt | for the item editor, you only really need to see enough to identify the item you want to work with, so maybe we can getting away with just picking 5 or 6 columns, e.g., barcode, homebranch, holdingbranch, location, callnumber, and enum/chron |
| 15:10 | owen | I agree, although inevitably you'll get people who say, "but we need to see x, y, and z too!" --I'm likely to be that person ;) |
| 15:11 | gmcharlt | yeah, true enough :) |
| 15:12 | though I wonder if sometimes when designing a UI (particularly for the staff side) it's better to not make *everything* infinitely configurable and flexible, but go with well-chosen defaults when possible | |
| 15:13 | owen | I think that's true: Make good choices for the defaults, and bury the setting just deep enough that people don't feel like they *need* to fiddle with them |
| 15:52 | fbcit | user's fiddle with settings?... never! |
| 20:28 | to what is the 'patronimages' relative? | |
| 20:28 | and why do we not create it by default during installation? | |
| 20:30 | patronimages dir, that is | |
| 20:32 | found the answer to the first question... | |
| 20:38 | does the patronimages feature actually work? | |
| 20:45 | owen | fbcit: Are you talking about the upload aspect, or the display? |
| 20:46 | The display works, if you can get your images uploaded | |
| 20:46 | fbcit | the upload aspect. |
| 20:46 | owen | I think the upload process is a little convoluted, although I'm not sure how you'd do it better. |
| 20:46 | fbcit | seems the script cannot write to /tmp |
| 20:47 | although everyone has rwx | |
| 20:47 | owen | I can see from my description of Bug 1618 that the upload process /can/ work properly |
| 20:48 | It's been a while since I tested it | |
| 20:54 | fbcit | owen: the script is wanting write permission to /tmp... |
| 20:54 | is that permissible from the koha-httpd.conf standpoint? | |
| 20:57 | owen | No, I'm sure the intention is to refer to /tmp |
| 20:58 | fbcit | heh... Online Help says: Sorry, there is no help available for this topic. |
