| 00:00 | imp | *wait* |
| 00:00 | \o/ | |
| 00:01 | it's still slow like a slug :/ | |
| 00:01 | but it's working :) | |
| 00:01 | thanks pianohacker :) | |
| 00:08 | pianohackr|work | np :) |
| 00:09 | You most likely got used to high performance with mod_perl | |
| 00:09 | but that is really not well supported | |
| 00:09 | imp | didn't even notice a differnce between both |
| 00:09 | it was slow before | |
| 00:09 | pianohackr|work | on 3.0.1 ? |
| 00:09 | imp | yes |
| 00:09 | pianohackr|work | ah |
| 00:11 | imp | maybe i'm expecting too much from the machine, dunno |
| 00:13 | pianohackr|work | Koha can be a bit slow currently |
| 00:13 | Fixing that is one of the priorities for 3.4 | |
| 00:14 | imp | just saw 7 seconds cpu time for a perlscript |
| 00:15 | pianohackr|work | Not entirely out of bounds. What specs on the machine? |
| 00:16 | imp | 500mz sparc, 256mb ram (might be a little bit small, but no problems so far) -> http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbo[…]AC200_shared/spec |
| 00:16 | s/mz/mhz/ | |
| 00:17 | pianohackr|work | Yeah, 7 seconds for some of koha's scripts sounds about right for something of that speed |
| 00:18 | imp | why does it burn so much cputime? ;) |
| 00:19 | pianohackr|work | oh, so many reasons. XML config file, lots of uncached database calls, etc etc |
| 00:21 | imp | db access isn't that much (but only based on a quick look on the process infos) |
| 00:21 | pianohackr|work | It's more several cumulative wasteful things than one particular culprit |
| 00:21 | imp | anyway, need to sleep now :/ |
| 00:21 | pianohackr|work | Good night, glad it's working |
| 00:22 | imp | ^^ |

| 01:05 | brendan | Hi doctor |
| 01:06 | chris | heh |
| 01:06 | pianohackr|work | committee member is closer, I keep coming up with grand plans and never finishing them |
| 01:07 | brendan | pianohackr|work - I'll stop calling you doctor sometime soon |
| 01:07 | by that time you will be a PH.D though | |
| 01:07 | pianohackr|work | right after I take off my bones outfit |
| 01:07 | heh. Don't know if I want to stay in college that long, but that could change :) | |
| 01:09 | chris: I have a partially-implemented design for a new marc_subfields_structure.display column where the editor can say something nice and sane like $subfieldlib->{'display'} | DISPLAY_SUBFIELD_EDITOR | |

| 01:33 | chris_n2 | pianohackr|work: grand plans or grand pianos? |
| 01:33 | pianohackr|work | I do wish I had a grand piano. You really can tell the difference between a well-made grand and an upright |
| 01:33 | so grand plans :) | |

| 02:20 | Stang joined #koha | |
| 02:22 | Stang | Hello |
| 02:22 | Is anyone here? | |
| 02:23 | mason | im about stang... |
| 02:23 | whats up? | |
| 02:23 | Stang | I need some help with a project and I'm going to do my project on Koha so if anyone has any more information on this ILS it would be appreciated, just let me know |
| 02:23 | ok | |
| 02:24 | I'm trying to create a project proposal which would hypothetically use Koha in a library system | |
| 02:24 | so I have several questions here | |
| 02:24 | about how long does it take to install koha | |
| 02:25 | brendan | howdy |
| 02:25 | mason | depends on whos doing it.. ;) |
| 02:25 | Stang | "Estimation of completion time and costs" |
| 02:25 | I know the cost for koha is pretty much free | |
| 02:26 | mason | including OS, hardware, mysql-tuning ? |
| 02:26 | Stang | because it's open source |
| 02:26 | and costs may come down to installation or maintenance | |
| 02:26 | i just don't know estimated completion time to install this system | |
| 02:26 | mason | apache tuning, etc... |
| 02:26 | Stang | so operating systems and hardware would also qualify as cost? |
| 02:26 | ok | |
| 02:27 | mason | 10 -20 hours , would be a good ball-park number, i think.. |
| 02:28 | Stang left #koha | |
| 02:28 | mason | your question are probably best answered if you send it the 'koha' and 'koha-devel' mailing-lists |
| 02:28 | Stang joined #koha | |
| 02:28 | Stang | if I have any more questions about Koha I will let you all know |
| 02:29 | thx all | |
| 02:29 | mason | np, try the mailing-lists first |
| 02:29 | you'll get a better cross-section of results | |
| 02:30 | Stang | ok |
| 02:32 | mason | "so operating systems and hardware would also qualify as cost?" |
| 02:32 | if youve got to pay someone to set those up , then yes ;) | |
| 02:33 | theres a reasonable amount of OS-level prep before the koha install proper | |
| 02:34 | deb packages, perl/cpan updating, etc... | |
| 02:35 | Stang | k |
| 02:35 | is there a site that has more information on the prep of the os before installation | |

| 12:43 | mahesh | ok |
| 12:45 | jdavidb joined #koha | |
| 12:46 | |Lupin| | are the barcodes calculated on the server, or in the client, for new items, please ? |
| 12:47 | nicomo joined #koha | |
| 12:57 | hdl | |Lupin|: serverside |
| 12:58 | mahesh: I think it is owed to dom authorities configuration. | |
| 12:58 | mahesh: it misses an | |
| 12:58 | any even | |
| 12:59 | mahesh | how can correct it . i am not familiar with that . |
| 13:00 | jwagner | I have an indexing question for anyone who understands zebra. One of my sites wants to set off a particular group of items/titles, and it doesn't quite work to give them normal item type or collection code settings. I tried to set it up so that the 590a would be indexed in the ccode index, thinking I could then fake a ccode search for a particular code -- e.g., mc-ccode:GRANTCOLL. I've reindexed etc., but a search for that doesn't find anything. (A r |
| 13:01 | |Lupin| | hdl: yeah but it's in the additem.pl script, I think. And since I replaced it by a home-made one, my barcodes are not computed correctly. Actually I thought the calculation would take place somewhere deeper in Koha... |
| 13:02 | hdl | jwagner: I can surely help. |
| 13:03 | would you mind showing your 590$a line and see if there is any melm 590 line in your record.abs | |
| 13:04 | jwagner | Yes, I added the 590a line -- just a sec while I get logged in to find it. |
| 13:05 | mahesh | hdl: how can i disable zebra in koha 3 ? |
| 13:06 | jwagner | hdl, the record.abs line is melm 590$a ccode -- I copied the 952$8 line. |
| 13:08 | A manual search for a "real" collection code works (e.g., mc-ccode:BOOK), so I'm guessing there's something that's checking any mc-ccode search against the list of policies. | |
| 13:16 | chris_n | |Lupin| it depends on the syspref for auto generating barcodes |
| 13:17 | |Lupin|: there is a code in the additem.pl script, but also plugins which are eval'd depending on the syspref | |
| 13:17 | but both are server side | |
| 13:18 | it's rather convoluted and not pretty atm iirc | |

| 20:02 | Jo | Morning all |
| 20:02 | richard | hi jo |
| 20:05 | * mdhafen | needs some help with make. |
| 20:06 | mdhafen | I have a value with a '$', but it doesn't make it to the koha-conf.xml |
| 20:07 | I see it at the bottom of Makefile as 'export __VARIABLE__ := $10000' but make renders it as '__VARIABLE__ =000' | |
| 20:08 | is it export, or is it in rewrite-config.pl ? | |
| 20:09 | chris | im guessing in the perl |
| 20:09 | mdhafen | That's kinda what I'm thinking too. I'll have to take a closer look at rewrite-config.pl |
| 20:21 | jdavidb left #koha | |
| 20:26 | mdhafen | nope, looks like it's the export. I added a warn to rewrite-config.PL. In the Makefile it's $1000, but when rewrite-config.PL checks $ENV it's 000 |
| 20:29 | I've tried adding single quotes to the Makefile too, that doesn't work either. It ends up as '000' | |
| 20:29 | collum left #koha | |
| 20:29 | chris | slash? |
| 20:30 | \$100000 | |
| 20:30 | ? | |
| 20:30 | mdhafen | hmm, yeah, I'll try that |
| 20:31 | apparently not, I got \000 | |
| 20:32 | * mdhafen | thinks this is a good time to also consult google ;) |
| 20:33 | chris | yup :) |
| 20:44 | hdl | jwagner bug 3792 has a similar bug defined |

| 20:44 | hdl | chris please cherry-pick directly |
| 20:45 | chris | will do |
| 20:49 | ahhh 3.0.x doesnt have the problem its ok | |
| 20:49 | hdl | jwagner: see 2830 |
| 20:49 | should be the same. | |
| 20:49 | I wanted to fix that for 3.0.4 and then for 3.0.5 | |
| 20:49 | But had no time. | |
| 20:50 | I could ask nahuel to do it he had some ideas about that and a clear vision of C4/Reserves.pm but might take time as well | |
| 20:51 | jwagner | hdl, I saw 2830, but it seemed to be the reverse -- comment #2 says it's going back into the holds queue as a copy specific instead of next available. I'm guessing it's probably related, though. |
| 20:56 | wizzyrea | wait... |
| 20:57 | jwagner | Not very long 'cause I'm about to hit the road :-) |
| 20:57 | wizzyrea | I don't think you can specify the behavvior either way |
| 20:57 | because we would WANT it to be title level if that happened | |
| 20:57 | which is probably what 2830 is saying... | |
| 20:58 | yes, yes it is | |
| 20:58 | jwagner | No, the problem my people are having is that an item-specific hold suddenly becomes a title level hold, which is a problem if they're trying to reserve one particular issue of a journal, for example. |
| 20:58 | wizzyrea | right, but if you change it |
| 20:59 | then that would break the way we use it (or want it to work) | |
| 20:59 | seewhatimean? | |
| 20:59 | i'm not saying what your library wants is wrong | |
| 20:59 | it's totally right, for them | |
| 20:59 | jwagner | no. Why wouldn't you want to keep an item-level hold as item-level? |
| 21:00 | wizzyrea | sorry, thinking... we can talk more about it later |
| 21:00 | let me think about this | |
| 21:01 | have a good evening | |
| 21:01 | chris | it should be an option |
| 21:01 | wizzyrea | :) |
| 21:01 | jwagner | Yes, let's talk tomorrow. I've got to brave the Beltway traffic now.... |
| 21:01 | chris | libraries act in retarded ways all the time |
| 21:01 | wizzyrea | good luck, jwagner |
| 21:01 | may the force be with you | |
| 21:01 | chris | but its best to just let them |
| 21:01 | is my theory | |
| 21:02 | jwagner | But this one makes sense to me -- an item-level hold should STAY an item-level hold. Same for a title-level hold. |
| 21:02 | chris | liz is saying they want an item level to change to title level |
| 21:03 | wizzyrea | if it has been checked out |
| 21:03 | to another patron | |
| 21:03 | chris | so you cant fix it for someone and break it for someone else |
| 21:03 | too much of that happens with koha | |
| 21:03 | wizzyrea | we may be talking about two different things, which is why I'm thinking about it |
| 21:03 | * chris | looks in the direction of ohio |
| 21:04 | wizzyrea | in NExpress, we really try to avoid starting out with item level holds |
| 21:04 | jwagner | Right, but I don't understand why you would want it to change to a title level hold. Our particular case is journal issues, for example. If you've put a hold on Vol 32. No 5, you don't want it satisfied by Vol 31. No 2. |
| 21:04 | wizzyrea | why would you have those on the same bib? (this may be a dumb question) |
| 21:05 | (and I am not really sure how we do it) | |
| 21:05 | jwagner | Because it's the same title? |
| 21:05 | chris | this all worked fine in koha 1 |
| 21:05 | cos you had group level holds | |
| 21:05 | so if you had 2 copies of Vol 32. No 5 | |
| 21:06 | you could place a group level reserve, and either of those would satisfy it | |
| 21:06 | wizzyrea | oh those halcyon days |
| 21:06 | chris | the problem with item level, say you have 28 copies |
| 21:06 | of the same thing | |
| 21:06 | jwagner | Hmmm. But a checkin of something outside that group wouldn't fill the hold? |
| 21:06 | chris | (in a consortia quite possible) |
| 21:06 | jwagner: thats right | |
| 21:07 | wizzyrea | that would probably be an enhancement to the special holds rules |
| 21:07 | (walkin, local hold) | |
| 21:07 | etc | |
| 21:07 | jwagner | Well, that sounds like a useful feature. I take it that it bit the dust with later versions? |
| 21:07 | wizzyrea | so you were looking at both macro and micro title |
| 21:07 | chris | it died when we started storing marc interntally |
| 21:07 | wizzyrea | i may have to draw myself a picture |
| 21:07 | chris | koha used to have a three tier structure, biblio, biblioitem and item |
| 21:08 | 1 to many, 1 to many | |
| 21:08 | now its 1 to 1, 1 to many | |
| 21:08 | jwagner | (one biblio, one biblioitem, many items?) |
| 21:08 | chris | thats how it is now |
| 21:08 | cos marc doesnt understand manifestations of the same work | |
| 21:09 | or similair work | |
| 21:09 | we'll get back there, its a tradeoff, internal marc support, breaking the group model | |
| 21:09 | wizzyrea | i am pretty sure, that in the case of magazines, each month has a bib, and every library adds their copy to that bib |
| 21:09 | this may be the wrong method of handling it | |
| 21:10 | chris | now we just have to reimplement groups |
| 21:10 | jwagner | That would mean that you get gazillions of hits in the hitlist, if you search that title? |
| 21:10 | wizzyrea | (that's in NExpress) |
| 21:10 | chris | yes |
| 21:10 | wizzyrea | yes |
| 21:10 | chris | so the solution for that |
| 21:10 | well a solution | |
| 21:10 | wizzyrea | but you could say Time, january |
| 21:10 | chris | is a meta record |
| 21:10 | that groups biblio records together | |
| 21:10 | wizzyrea | I will have to do a little looking into how we do that |
| 21:11 | chris | so you can group all the months together, and the search displays just one row |
| 21:11 | this doesnt exist in koha yet | |
| 21:11 | but its on my list | |
| 21:11 | personally i hate nothing more than getting 6 rows of the same item | |
| 21:11 | wizzyrea | BUT, I can say that once an item is assigned to a patron, it essentially becomes an item level hold, and if that item is checked out to another patron, we WANT it to go back to being a title level, instead of waiting in the queue for that specific item |
| 21:12 | chris | *nod* |
| 21:12 | jwagner | Yes, a de-duping routine of some kind would be nice. |
| 21:12 | chris | that is the problem right there wizzyrea |
| 21:12 | wizzyrea | i'm afraid that if you fixed all item level holds to only map back to item level holds, that functionality would break |
| 21:12 | jwagner | So it sounds like fixing it the way we want really wouldn't work for you, wizzyrea. |
| 21:12 | wizzyrea | right, that's what I was trying to get across, I think |
| 21:12 | chris | once a hold is marked waiting, its switched to item-level from title |
| 21:12 | but if it gets issued, it needs to go back to title | |
| 21:13 | jwagner | I have one of the programmers looking at it now. Sounds like we could either do it as a local fix, or maybe make it controlled by one of the all-proliferating sysprefs? |
| 21:13 | chris | consequently, if it started as item at the start, it should stay item |
| 21:13 | its a trickier problem than it seems | |
| 21:13 | jwagner | Sounds like it :-( |
| 21:13 | chris | to do it properly, you need to know the state the reserve started in |
| 21:13 | not how it is now | |
| 21:13 | if that makes sense | |
| 21:14 | wizzyrea | yes yes yes |
| 21:14 | jwagner | It makes sense. Does the barcode in the reserves table change if it gets assigned? |
| 21:14 | wizzyrea | thank you, I knew there was something there that made my gut go EEKS! |
| 21:15 | chris | in the case of a title level hold, an item now gets assigned |
| 21:15 | jwagner | I know if you place an item-level hold to begin with, it embeds the barcode. The hold isn't triggered yet when our problem starts, it's still sitting there as priority 1. So at that point, if there's a barcode, it should be because it was set that way. |
| 21:15 | chris | yep, but a barcode gets set once an item is marked waiting |
| 21:15 | wizzyrea | I think this is a case for a special hold rule |
| 21:15 | I really do | |
| 21:15 | chris | so if you just check that, a title level hold that is waiting, looks the same as an item-level |
| 21:15 | jwagner | So if there's a barcode but the "waiting" flag isn't set yet, keep the hold as an item-level, otherwise make title-level? |
| 21:16 | * wizzyrea | thinks that would work |
| 21:16 | is still thinking... | |
| 21:17 | wizzyrea | that seems logical to me, insomuch as my puny brain can grasp it |
| 21:17 | jwagner | chris, do you think that would be enough of a safeguard? |
| 21:17 | chris | that oughta work |
| 21:18 | wizzyrea | i like this, actually |
| 21:18 | mdhafen | what about the constraint column in reserves? I believe it was used for group reserves, but I don't know what it's for now. Maybe targetted holds? |
| 21:18 | jwagner | OK, I think I'll summarize the discussion in the bug report & see if anyone else has any input. Tomorrow. I've really gotta hit the road now.... |
| 21:18 | chris | there used to be a field |
| 21:18 | wizzyrea | bye jwagner, sorry to make you late :) |
| 21:19 | chris | that had either an a |
| 21:19 | or an o in it | |
| 21:19 | a = all | |
| 21:19 | jwagner | We'll just hope the traffic give me a break... |
| 21:19 | chris | o = only the ones specified in constraints |
| 21:19 | if that is still in use, all you need to check is that column | |
| 21:19 | mdhafen | right. Maybe that field could be re-purposed to track the original state of the hold? |
| 21:20 | jwagner left #koha | |
| 21:20 | mdhafen | I suspect it is still in use, but I'm not certain. I don't see many item-level holds |
| 21:20 | wizzyrea | we don't either |
| 21:20 | i can say it's relatively annoying that holds become true item level once assigned | |
| 21:21 | they're hard to work around, those irritating exceptions that make ILS's so hard to write | |
| 21:21 | mdhafen | chris is right, if the field is still in use it would indicate if a reserve was originally item level |
| 21:22 | I think | |
| 21:23 | the reservecontraints table doesn't have itemnumber though, so maybe that isn't right. | |
| 21:23 | be cool if it did though. | |
| 21:23 | reserve constraints could be expanded to track item-level holds too. | |
| 21:23 | wizzyrea | so I've been thinking more about that weird status deal we looked at yesterday |
| 21:24 | it said that the issuingbranch was SIPTERM, even though we don't have an issuing branch of SIPTERM ?! | |
| 21:24 | we have users named sipterm... | |
| 21:25 | mdhafen | chris: I found the manual for make. Looks like anything with a $ is a variable in make, except $$. I'm going to try that now. |
| 21:27 | chris: yeah, $$1000 ends up $1000. Maybe Makefile.PL::_get_value needs to be checking for '$'? | |
| 21:28 | chris | yeah sounds likely |
| 21:30 | Nate left #koha | |
| 21:31 | mdhafen | chris: yeah, a simple s/\$/\$\$/g before the return in _get_value should do the trick. I make a patch for that. |
| 21:34 | nope, the prev-install-log value is missed that way. Have to add that to that block too | |
| 21:56 | mdhafen left #koha | |
| 22:19 | chris_n2 | g'evening |
