00:16 hiya
00:23 russ hi guys
00:26 ricardo joined #koha
00:26 ricardo Hi everyone
00:28 chris hi ricardo
00:28 ricardo chris: Hi chris. I'm editing the PO file as-we-speak :)
00:29 This Staff file is really *huge* :(
00:29 chris *nod*
00:29 ill make sure i merge all changes up into master when the time comes too, so we wont have to redo lots for 3.2
00:30 ricardo chris: Thanks!  :)
00:31 This PO file is strange... some of the "msgid" are in French
00:32 chris thats probably from the unimarc xlst
00:32 ricardo chris: Right.
00:32 chris: are those "UNIMARCslim2OAIDC.xsl" strings in the PO file translatable?
00:33 chris i wouldn't bother
00:33 ricardo chris: OK  :)
00:33 chris alternatively, you could ask kf/cait what she did for the german ones (when she is about)
00:34 ricardo chris: German also use UNIMARC?
00:34 chris nope but she translated everything I think
00:34 certainly 0% left to translate, so she either just copied those as is, or translated them
00:35 ricardo chris: You can always trust the German. Always methodical and thorough, eheh
00:35 chris :)

00:52 CGI203 Hi,
00:52 anybody there?
00:52 ricardo CGI203: Kinda  :)
00:53 CGI203 I m a librarian for Victoria International College in Malaysia
00:53 I was thinking to use Koha as my library system
00:54 there are few question i would like to ask here, can i?
00:54 russ go for it :-)
00:56 CGI203 i just wondering for the circulation module can it be separated accessible instead of sharing together with all the modules under admin
00:57 chris access to the functions is controlled by permissions
00:57 you can set a user to only have permissions to use circulation
00:58 CGI203 can guide me the way to set permission? and how to create new user for accessing purposes
00:59 chris i can point you at the manual that explains all that :)
00:59 http://koha.org/documentation/[…]new-staff-patron/
00:59 CGI203 thank u very much!!!
01:00 chris http://koha.org/documentation/[…]atron-permissions
01:03 CGI203 tats all i need to do??
01:05 chris yes
01:05 i recommend reading the rest of the manual too
01:05 http://koha.org/documentation/manual/3.0
01:05 CGI203 thx....so usually which permission should i need to 'check' for those circulation staff???
01:06 chris circulate
01:06 and maybe borrowers if you want them to be able to edit borrower inforamtion also
01:06 and then if you want them to be able to pay fines etc, updatecharges

01:41 richard joined #koha
01:43 CGI203 once i set the permission for my circulation staff.....how can they access to circulation module?
01:53 anybody?
01:53 russ they login to the staff site and if it is the only module they have access to
01:53 then it is the only one they will see
01:54 CGI203 i cant try it in liblime demo.....
01:55 so which mean once i set the permission for my circulation staff under patron management.....they can access the staff portal with pre-define user and password?
01:55 russ yep
01:56 a patron/member is just another kind of user
01:56 by default they have very limited privs
01:56 so if someone at your library started off as a patron
01:56 and then became a staff member
01:56 all you would do is tweak the privs for their user
01:58 the documentation nicole has done is excellent ;-)
01:58 http://koha.org/documentation/manual/3.0/patrons
01:58 CGI203 so it tat means even a normal lib patron can access the staff portal?
02:00 russ well in theory but all they would see is the login screen
02:01 which is pretty standard for a web based system
02:03 chris without staffaccess set, they cant do anything except see that login screen
02:03 and if you read
02:03 http://koha.org/documentation/[…]atron-permissions
02:03 it says
02:03 IMPORTANT: In order for a staff member to log into the staff interface they must have (at the very least) 'catalogue' permissions which allow them to view the staff interface.
02:12 ricardo (Just translated "fairy tale"... It's one of my favorite strings  ;-)
02:16 CGI203 yeah....i got it...THX!!
02:22 ricardo chris: I'm afraid I will be only able to finish this tomorrow or the day after. Would that be too late for 3.0.5?
02:22 chris you need to ask hdl that one, im not sure
02:22 ricardo chris: Fair enough. Thanks for the info
02:23 (I'm around the line 39500)
02:40 CGI203 left #koha
02:42 ricardo OK. That's it for today. Reached line 40197, and I'm officially VERY TIRED  :)  Going to sleep now

02:45 chris_n2 grrr....
02:45 what does this mean: production mode - trapped fatal error
02:45 * chris_n2 thinks it is a nebulous error apache produces when it does not know what else to say
02:45 chris somethign fatal, either compilation error or cant connect to the database
02:46 naw its a koha error, check the error logs
02:46 chris_n2 I thought carp would dump it to the browser?
02:46 chris not if its dying before it can carp
02:46 chris_n2 ahhh
02:46 win32 stinks
02:48 and so does my attitude atm :-\
02:48 chris hehe

11:36 knop3x hi! someone there?
11:37 I have a quite simple question:
11:37 Is the koha staff client and OPAC already available in russian and/or ukrainian?
11:39 I don't find any information on the koha-site except this: http://koha.org/documentation/[…]lable%20languages
11:39 And that doesn't help... ;-)
11:45 ricardo knop3x: Hi
11:46 knop3x: I believe it is...

11:48 http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gi[…]6abfeb75;hb=3.0.x
11:48 knop3x:  So, given the above 4 URLs, I would say that yes, there's indeed a Russian and an Ukrainian translation  :)

12:09 knop3x Hey! Thnaks for the above!
12:11 But it doesn't seem like a "ripe" translation if 50% are fuzzy...
12:14 and: Is there a how-to for people about no idea about anything? ;-)
12:15 kf knop3x: translation or koha in general?
12:15 Amit left #koha
12:16 hdl ricardo: I am here
12:28 knop3x kf: i meant koha in general, but that should include the translation...
12:28 i think also a "sketch" could helpü...
12:28 i mean, what is koha? it runs only on a server, right?
12:28 and you can acces it with a staff client?
12:34 jwagner joined #koha
12:39 kf knop3x: its web based, you can access staff interface via port 8080
12:40 chris_n2 left #koha

13:54 hdl yes
13:55 ricardo hdl: Cool  :)  I'm in the process of finishing the translation for the Portuguese Staff PO file, but it may take 1 or 2 days to conclude it. When do you want /plan to release 3.0.5 (so that I can try to get this updated translation for 3.0.5)?
13:56 hdl mmmm... should be next week.
13:57 ricardo hdl: That's great. That should give me plenty of time to finish and test the translation. I'll "pretty sure" that I'll have it ready during this week

15:22 Jpr hi all, I'm in the midst of customizing the front page of our Opac and I've hit a snag that I'm at a  loss as to how to resolve.
15:22 owen You've come to the right place Jpr
15:23 Jpr owen: in fact, I've been using a number of articles from your blog
15:24 so, here's my question;
15:24 hdl hi gmcharlt
15:25 Jpr I used your CSS for enlittling the login box, and now I've gotten around to editing the mainuserblock.
15:25 The problem is, the yui-u grid in which the login block is located still makes a bunch of white space where I'd like to be able to put other things
15:25 owen Yeah, your options are very limited there.
15:26 Jpr I'd tried with some CSS, but it doesn't seem to have any effect on the yui-u
15:26 and given that it continues to 'contain' the login box...
15:28 so, when you say that my options are 'limited' just how limited are they?
15:28 owen There is no built-in way to put content in the right column.
15:28 It would be possible to write content to that area using jquery
15:29 But the glitch with that option is that the right-hand column will disappear when the user is logged in
15:29 Your javascript would have to take that into account somehow.
15:29 And of course you've got the problem of excluding non-js users
15:30 Jpr at least for the moment that wouldn't be a problem, since the OPAC's only available on our internal network
15:31 owen I've filed a bug for this issue already: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3708
15:31 munin 04Bug 3708: enhancement, P5, ---, jmf@liblime.com, NEW, Add another customizable region to the OPAC: right sidebar
15:34 Jpr and it isn't possible to reposition or otherwise tweak the CSS of that yui-u block so that it would at least reduce the white-space, thus giving more space to the mainuserblock?
15:35 or change which type of yui grid is involved?
15:35 owen It's possible, I haven't tried it before.
15:38 Jpr alright, thanks for your help!
15:38 owen Jpr: I'm not sure you're going to be able to get specific enough with the CSS to be able to target just the home page
15:39 Jpr ah, that same yui-u class might be used elsewhere?
15:39 owen Yes, it might be. I can't recall offhand
15:40 It's one of the basic building blocks of a YUI grid layout
15:40 Okay, yes, for instance, the advanced search page
15:41 Oh, and opac-detail as well. So you've got to be sure you're targeting just the home page. Unfortunately, that page isn't identified by a unique <body> id like some pages are
15:41 Jpr hmm, so css is no way to go
15:41 owen (that's a good candidate for a bug)
15:42 Jpr I may just have to get used to that white space, at least for the time being
15:49 the tag <div id="doc3" class="yui-t1"> isn't page specific either?
15:50 owen No
15:54 Jpr Owen,  thank you again for your help and your time; I do appreciate it.  I'm gonna get down to work, either learning like that white-space or taking advantage of it with jquery.  Thanks again!

20:26 2 patches down, not a lot of changes yet
20:26 pianohacker cool!
20:26 chris lots have been done by more recent patches
20:26 so some conflicts, but easy enough to resolve
20:27 on to number 3
20:27 * pianohacker adds disclaimer that the code is more than a year old, and takes no responsibility for its quality
20:27 chris yeah i figure we can play with the ajaxcirc branch a bit
20:27 and tidy it up
20:27 pianohacker Yup
20:30 chris what i did was branch from july 21 2008, apply patches there
20:30 jdavidb left #koha
20:30 chris then cherry-pick into ajaxcirc and fix conflicts
20:40 3 down

21:41 ricardo chris: I think I may be being bit by the "pt-BR mistaken as regular PT" bug... Would it be possible, when I send it to you the pt-PT updated STAFF file to copy it also for pt-BR (that might mitigate / solve the bug)
21:42 chris yep
21:42 i thought you had solved the bug by fixing the db?
21:43 ricardo chris: I thought so too. And it did solve in one or two setups (two, I think... It's not solving it for the 3rd one, though... Must I run manually ./install-code.pl pt-BR  (after updating the database), so I get there the missing "includes" files?
21:43 chris umm only if you want pt-BR
21:44 id just remove the pt-BR templates
21:45 ricardo chris: No, I don't want it ... I think it's also related to the fact that, in Firefox, there's no "pt-PT"... only "pt" and "pt-BR"... Maybe Koha's detection of "installed browser languages" is picking pt-BR by mistake? Dunno...
21:45 chris: But would that solve the problem for other people, as well?
21:46 chris well if it pt-BR is there, then it will pick it up, what happens if you remove those templates?
21:46 id prefer to not overwrite the BR ones, unless the brazilians ask for that
21:49 ricardo chris: Well, for the "staff" PO file, I believe they wouldn't mind considering they only have 1% translated  :)
21:51 Yep, this solved the bug:
21:51 myhost:/usr/share/koha/intran​et/htdocs/intranet-tmpl/prog # mv pt-BR _pt_br_old
21:52 chris cool, so yep looks like the C4::Language module has a bug
21:52 ricardo So, Koha is "picking" pt-BR by mistake... Like I said, maybe it's related to Koha's detection of what languages the user has set up in the Browser ("content negotiation")?
21:52 chris: Right
21:52 chris: Oh, boy... I tried to debug the "C4::Language" before (for this bug)... and it isn't pretty  :-/
21:53 chris yeah, its on my list to rewrite too
21:53 overly complicated
21:56 ricardo chris: True!
21:58 Well... It's past my time to go home. I wanted to do this, because I wanted to demo Koha for some people that come tomorrow, and I didn't want to show them this:
21:58 Look of the Staff client of Koha 3.0.3 (and 3.0.4) when there is a pt-BR folder
21:58 chris yeah
21:58 ricardo http://www.twitpic.com/lnjb7
21:58 (watch the screenshot, if you haven't done it before ^^^ :-/
21:58 chris i think the safest is just remove those templates for now
21:59 ricardo chris: Yeah, probably
21:59 chris: Can you take care of that for 3.0.5 ?
21:59 chris i think we will just not include pt-BR for 3.0.5
22:00 since i wont have tiem to fix C4::Languages before then
22:00 ricardo chris: That's fine by me!  :)  (at least for the staff client, I don't think the OPAC has the same problem)
22:00 chris: understood
22:00 chris pianohacker: you about?
22:01 http://git.catalyst.net.nz/gw?[…]fs/heads/ajaxcirc
22:01 all merged, no idea if it works yet though :)
22:01 ok, back to work work i go
22:02 pianohacker chris: that was an impressively fast merge; do you have a git:// url?
22:04 chris yep
22:04 git://git.catalyst.net.nz/koha.git
22:04 or http://
22:06 ricardo chris: Gotta go now... Thanks and take care!  :)
22:07 chris cya later ricardo
22:07 ricardo chris: Bye  :)
22:07 ricardo left #koha
22:16 sekjal left #koha
22:18 pianohacker chris: code pulled, found some bugs (first was old issued_itemtypes_count_loop, now excised from circulation.pl, second will be getting rid of unclosed TMPL_ that causes an incomplete checkout page)
22:19 chris ahh right
22:19 if you get a chance, could you fire some patches at me for those?
22:20 pianohacker will probably be later, took a quick look then had to get back to school, but I can send you patches or a pull-request from my github, whichever works better
