| 15:28 | owen | Hi tinaburger, are you at code4lib? |
| 15:31 | paul | 'morning owen |
| 15:32 | owen | Hi paul |
| 15:57 | paul | owen : what time is it in Portland now ? |
| 15:57 | (which GMT are they ?) | |
| 15:58 | owen | I believe it's 8AM |
| 15:59 | fbcit | g'morning paul, owen |
| 15:59 | owen | Hi fbcit |
| 16:04 | fbcit: I've got a question about the new patron image upload form | |
| 16:04 | fbcit | k |
| 16:04 | owen | If you check 'zip file' but pass a cardnumber value to the script, will the script get confused? |
| 16:04 | fbcit | you should not be able to do both |
| 16:05 | if you select the zip file radio button, the cardnumber field should become hidden | |
| 16:05 | owen | Here's why I ask: I'm making changes so that you can pass a cardnumber to that page from the patron detail screen |
| 16:05 | ...so that the card number is pre-filled | |
| 16:06 | I'm wonder what happens if someone changes their mind and chooses 'zip' at that point | |
| 16:06 | The card number field will still be filled in | |
| 16:07 | fbcit | hmmm |
| 16:07 | owen | I could easily empty the cardnumber field when the user clicks 'zip', but I'd rather not punish the user from playing around |
| 16:08 | fbcit | I may need to add some code to override that var or undefine it at lease in that case |
| 16:08 | s/lease/least/ | |
| 16:08 | the javascript may be able to be mod'd to clear that field when hidden...? | |
| 16:09 | owen | Yeah, I just thought it'd be nice to not clear it in case they didn't really mean to. |
| 16:09 | fbcit | right |
| 16:09 | let me look at the code for a moment | |
| 16:10 | it should not be difficult to manipulate the variable there | |
| 16:11 | owen: are you aware of anywhere the patronimages syspref is actually used? | |
| 16:11 | owen | It /should/ be used in circ-menu.inc, but I see it's not |
| 16:12 | It's used in some other places to determine whether or not to load the patron-image javascript check | |
| 16:13 | fbcit | I'm thinking to change it to a YES/NO pref and clarify the description somewhat. Do you foresee any issues? |
| 16:13 | re cardnumber: if the user passes up a zip file, $cardnumber is overwritten by the cardnumbers contained in the *link.txt file in all cases | |
| 16:14 | owen | That's what it is in my system, but I don't know where that came from |
| 16:14 | fbcit | so I don't think the scenario we're considering will confuse the script, but we should test to see. |
| 16:15 | the syspref description here is: "Enable patron images for the Staff Client; to enable, specify a file extension (e.g., png)" | |
| 16:15 | and the value is '0' | |
| 16:16 | owen | Hunh, yeah that's out of date alright |
| 16:17 | fbcit | it's that way in HEAD |
| 16:17 | also, kados mentioned that there might be code somewhere to display a "no image available" placeholder image? | |
| 16:18 | owen | Yes, I've just committed some changes to make that happen again. It's javascript-based, but I suppose your patronimage script could to it just as easily |
| 16:19 | Could patronimage.pl return /intranet-tmpl/prog/img/patron-blank.png if there were no patron image in the database? | |
| 16:19 | fbcit | I can add that |
| 16:20 | does that image exist currently? | |
| 16:20 | owen | Yes |
| 16:41 | fbcit | morning gmcharlt-away |
| 16:43 | owen: I have patronimage.pl displaying patron-blank.png when no image exists, but have one more caveat to overcome before committing | |
| 16:50 | gmcharlt | hi fbict -- how goes it? |
| 16:54 | fbcit | gmcharlt: fine. you're @ code4lib? |
| 16:55 | gmcharlt: question: can I retrieve the FQDN from some variable in Koha for a given install? | |
| 16:55 | gmcharlt | yep -- will be starting the Koha Camp presentation soon |
| 16:58 | fbcit: re FQDN -- it's not in koha-conf.xml, but could be added | |
| 16:58 | just need to be sure that split-server installations are handled | |
| 17:00 | fbcit | is that a desirable config var? |
| 17:04 | gmcharlt | fbcit: could be -- just need to be careful about using it, since it could easily be wrong -- e.g., if an OPAC is accessed both from outside a firewall and within, and has different internal and external names |
| 17:04 | paul | hello gmcharlt |
| 17:04 | (hdl around ?) | |
| 17:05 | fbcit | gmcharlt: thanks, hope your presentation goes well. I'd like to be there to hear it. |
| 17:17 | gmcharlt: got around it using CGI::url(-base => 1) which I *think* should return the correct FQDN:port each time. | |
| 17:18 | hrmm | |
| 17:18 | though it will not pickup on firewall mangling | |
| 17:33 | paul | hello nengard. How was your greek restaurant with hdl ? |
| 17:34 | nengard | paul: very good: http://www.yelp.com/biz/greek-[…]qsebgJwYM6Cj8ofHw |
| 17:51 | fbcit | owen around? |
| 17:51 | owen | Yes |
| 17:52 | fbcit | I've cooked up a patch to patronimage.pl that defaults to patron-blank.png if no image exists for a given cardnumber in the db |
| 17:52 | I've submitted it, but if you like, I'll send you a copy | |
| 17:54 | owen | that's great, fbcit. No I don't need a copy, thanks |
| 17:54 | fbcit | gmcharlt-camp: it turns out that CGI::url works with the info in the request header and so returns the actual FQDN:port contained there |
| 17:55 | gmcharlt-camp: so this should work nicely regardless of the mangling that goes on in between the client and webserver. | |
| 17:57 | owen: let me know if the issue of the cardnumber field is a problem when you make the changes to the patron detail screen | |
| 17:57 | owen | Okay |
| 18:04 | nengard | quick question - is RSS for search results an option in the admin? (like athens county)? Or is it more difficult than that - i wanted to turn it on in my demo and test |
| 18:06 | owen | nengard: I'm not sure I understand what you mean. You want to be able to subscribe to a search in the staff client like you can in the OPAC? |
| 18:07 | nengard | owen: sorry - no i just want the rss feed to show in the opac on the search results page like it does on the athens county opac |
| 18:07 | http://opac-nce.dev.kohalibrar[…]search.pl?q=harry | |
| 18:08 | owen | so you want to see the little RSS icon next to the "returned x results" text? |
| 18:08 | nengard | yes |
| 18:08 | owen | Is it not auto-discovering the feed and displaying the icon in Firefox's location bar? |
| 18:09 | nengard | it is!! I'm a dummy..... |
| 18:09 | sorry - jet lag and all | |
| 18:09 | i'll use that - someone here reported a problem so i want to poke and see if it's a bug | |
| 18:09 | uh oh | |
| 18:09 | owen | It's a legitimate question, whether we should emphasize the RSS feature by keeping that icon there like we have it in dev_week |
| 18:09 | nengard | Software error: |
| 18:09 | Cannot open file rss/O4fJfRXo6xHlGqJemldw6Q for write: Permission denied at /home/nce/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/opac-rss.pl line 159 | |
| 18:09 | CGI::Carp | |
| 18:09 | i'll file the bug | |
| 18:12 | owen | looks like hdl was the last to touch that file...you can bug him in person! :) |
| 18:12 | paul still around? | |
| 18:16 | nengard | owen: hehe |
| 18:25 | owen: hdl says it's not his fault | |
| 18:25 | looks like it's not a bug after all - it's a NOTE for the manual - looks like a permission issue | |
| 18:27 | fbcit | owen: I just submitted a patch correcting patronimages syspref to YesNo and correcting the description as well. Defaults to No (0). |
| 18:27 | owen | Hmmm... So there's a configuration step somewhere that's not covered by the installer? |
| 18:28 | fbcit | looks like another situation where the apache2 user needs write permissions to /usr/share/koha/misc/rss |
| 18:30 | owen | actually opac/rss |
| 18:30 | qiqo | hi guys |
| 19:34 | fbcit | u around chris? |
| 19:40 | chris | yep whats up? |
| 19:46 | fbcit | chris: what's the difference between 'call number' and 'dewey' && why do what I think are dewey show up under 'call number' and not vice-versa? |
| 19:46 | chris | dewey is just one form of callnumber |
| 19:47 | fbcit | so if callnumber == dewey shouldn't it also show up in the dewey field? |
| 19:48 | or it may be the fact that I'm not a librarian ;-) | |
| 19:53 | chris | heh yeah if you choose to use dewey in sysprefs, then id expect it to say dewey i think |
| 19:53 | nengard | some libraries will have a dewey number and a call number |
| 19:53 | it's two different marc fields | |
| 19:54 | call number being LC call number 090/050 or Local call number 099 | |
| 19:55 | chris | yep but some might also just have dewey, i think fbcit is asking where it should show up in that case |
| 19:56 | some might also just have LC call numbers | |
| 19:56 | hows the camp going nicole? | |
| 19:59 | heh | |
| 20:01 | owen | fbcit: I'd say call number handling is broken in Koha at the moment. There's no working standard for how to display call numbers |
| 20:02 | chris | yep, it keeps changing |
| 20:02 | fbcit | so I'll just specify callnumber since that field appears to contain dewey here |
| 20:03 | so how are other's doing spine labels? | |
| 20:03 | or are they? | |
| 20:04 | chris | some are |
| 20:04 | lots use kbarode | |
| 20:04 | kbarcode even | |
| 20:05 | fbcit | hrm |
| 20:05 | barcode on spine labels? | |
| 20:05 | chris | yeah lots fold around |
| 20:06 | so on the spine you have callumber, or author or whatever | |
| 20:06 | and it folds around so the front bit has barcode | |
| 20:06 | it all depends what ur labels look like | |
| 20:07 | fbcit | that makes since |
| 20:08 | so maybe using a 1" X 2 5/8" for the wrap around? | |
| 20:17 | chris | sorry was just getting kahu ready for daycare |
| 20:17 | yeah, one of the defined labels is a wrap around one | |
| 20:17 | opus here in nz use it | |
| 21:18 | hi tina | |
| 09:38 | hey russ | |
| 09:38 | ru55el | hi all |
| 09:56 | paul | sweet dreams chris |
