| 01:10 | chris | interesting i was searching the liblime site, to see if they had put up when they plan to release their LLEK code |
| 01:10 | http://www.liblime.com/search?[…]hableText=release | |
| 01:11 | found http://www.liblime.com/product[…]earchterm=release | |
| 01:12 | pianohacker | That's very interesting |
| 01:13 | chris | Changes from June 1 Update (3.01.00.032) to LibLime Enterprise Koha build 4.0000000 |
| 01:14 | pianohacker | Bleh, I might be helping with some training of a local consortium that has chosen LEK, so I'd better study up... |
| 01:14 | At least now we know what happened to the enhanced fines module | |
| 01:14 | chris | train them in asking for it to be released :-) |
| 01:14 | yeah | |
| 01:14 | siloed | |
| 01:15 | its kinda naff they use their own bug tracker | |
| 01:15 | so people who fixed the bugs get no credit | |
| 01:15 | pianohacker | also very siloed |
| 01:15 | chris | yep |
| 01:15 | pianohacker | I've used the internal bugzilla, but it had two-digit bug numbers in those days, and was mainly used for support stuff |
| 01:16 | evidently that's changed | |
| 01:16 | chris | when i was there we used rt |
| 01:16 | but we linked to koha bug numbers | |
| 01:20 | i wonder if there is a release now there are release notes | |
| 01:23 | BuchBebbi | I wish you a god night (or a sunny dax if you are at the other side of the earth :-) |
| 01:24 | chris | good night :) |
| 01:24 | BuchBebbi is now known as bebbi | |
| 01:24 | bebbi | thx |
| 01:25 | bebbi left #koha | |
| 01:27 | chris | nope not anywhere i can find .. ah well, we live in hope |
| 01:36 | pianohacker | If you had to search to find it, it's probably meant for internal use |
| 01:36 | chris | well i wasnt even looking for it |
| 01:36 | was just seeing if they had put up anything about releases | |
| 01:36 | but its not behind auth, so it will get in the google | |
| 01:44 | pianohacker | This is going to be very interesting to integrate |
| 01:44 | chris | if we ever get the chance |
| 01:44 | pianohacker | Because taken as a whole, this touches almost all of C4 and a good portion of cgi-bin |
| 01:44 | chris | the longer they with hold it, the harder it gets |
| 01:44 | yeah | |
| 01:45 | and without a git repo, which you and i both know they have | |
| 01:45 | but just a tarball of the files, manually integrating .. when they branched off koha 30 odd db edits and who knows how many patches ago | |
| 01:45 | is gonna be a nightmare | |
| 01:45 | thats why they invented version control | |
| 01:47 | pianohacker | More interestingly, they seem to be using a separate version numbering |
| 01:47 | chris | yup |
| 01:49 | imagine how hard it will be | |
| 01:49 | when we change to TT | |

| 09:41 | greenmang0 | can anybody help me with this problem? if i upload a pdf in koha and search for a word written in that pdf... koha should show me the related pdf... is it possible.. if yes... how? |
| 09:42 | chris | no |
| 09:43 | koha is a library management system, not a digital library, to do things like that you will want something like dspace, greenstone, fedora/fez, kete etc | |
| 09:45 | matts left #koha | |
| 09:45 | greenmang0 | chris: ok... |
| 09:45 | chris: i hope it has nothing to do with full text search..... ? | |
| 09:45 | :S | |
| 09:46 | chris | koha doesnt search documents |
| 09:46 | it searches metadata about documents | |
| 09:46 | matts joined #koha | |
| 09:47 | chris | if you want to search documents you want a digital library system, you can combine one with koha, but you will have to do some work to do that |
| 09:47 | greenmang0 | chris: can you tell me how to combine? and what work i will have to do? |
| 09:48 | chris | nope, and i dont know |
| 09:48 | it would depend entirely on what you used as a digital library system | |
| 09:49 | greenmang0 | chris: because koha's feature list says koha can be used as a digital library system |
| 09:49 | chris; http://koha.org/about/features | |
| 09:50 | chris | yeah you can do what Lupin has done and catalogue digital resources with it |
| 09:50 | but its not searching the document, just the data about the document | |
| 09:50 | if you want to index the document, you need something else to do that | |
| 09:52 | hdl | hi chris |
| 09:52 | chris | hi hdl |
| 09:53 | id edit that page on the koha.org site, it has some out of date info on it, but i cant | |
| 10:01 | bebbi joined #koha | |
| 10:22 | greenmang0 | chris: what do you mean by "do something else" ? if possible i can try it out |
| 10:31 | bebbi | Hello world :-) |
| 10:39 | indradg | greenmang0, use stuff like plucene and hack up a bunch of custom .pm modules or you may use Namazu have it working as a CGI and then again go the custom perl module way |
| 10:43 | bebbi left #koha | |
| 10:56 | greenmang0 | indradg: Perl - The only language that looks the same before and after RSA encryption. - Keith Bostic. |
| 10:56 | :D | |
| 11:00 | indradg | greenmang0, then plucene perhaps... based around the Lucene API (the stuff used by DSpace for full-text indexing) |

| 13:28 | chris_n | g'morning |
| 13:28 | |Lupin| | hi chris_n |
| 13:29 | I was wonderng | |
| 13:29 | is there a way to have most recently added records (or items) displayed on opac start page ? | |
| 13:33 | Ropuch | http://www.myacpl.org/koha/?p=74 |

| 13:34 | owen | "Check that it's real Koha and that you can download the exact same source to run on your own server if you want, though." |
| 13:34 | slef++ | |
| 13:35 | Ropuch | Hi owen |
| 13:42 | jdavidb | Hm...cfouts said in email that git.koha.org was healthy again, but I'm not able to get there this morning. Anyone else having the same trouble? |
| 13:43 | nengard | jdavidb me neither |
| 13:43 | :( | |
| 13:43 | jdavidb | :( |
| 13:45 | |Lupin| | Ropuch: thanks a lot |
| 13:45 | Ropuch: perhaps a bit to complex to set-up, and not exactly what we would need... | |
| 13:46 | ON our old server the 20 most recent records were displayed on the start page, I think our librarian is missing this feature | |
| 13:46 | Ropuch | |Lupin|: np, actually displaying last added records should be much easier |
| 13:46 | nengard | I need help - what do I do on Debian if I can't remember my MySQL login info? can I create a new user? or recover that info in any way? |
| 13:46 | Ropuch | nengard: do you have root acces to mysql? |
| 13:46 | nengard | yes |
| 13:47 | DUH!! | |
| 13:47 | that's the username - ROOT :) hehe | |
| 13:47 | jdavidb | you can log in as root, and just reset it. If you can't log in as root, there are ways to recover that. |
| 13:47 | nengard | I'm so so so jetlagged and fuzzy |
| 13:47 | |Lupin| | nengard: then grant should work... the thing that is documented in INSTA...debian in koha sources I think |
| 13:47 | Ropuch | UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('newpass') WHERE User='bob' AND Host='%.loc.gov'; |
| 13:47 | FLUSH PRIVILEGES; | |
| 13:47 | (from mysql documentation) | |
| 13:48 | |Lupin| | grant all on *.* to user nengard identified by password('newpassword)'); |
| 13:48 | something like this | |
| 13:48 | (the exact thing is in the mentionned file) | |
| 13:49 | k, have to go again, till soon all | |

| 13:53 | nengard | thanks magnusenger, it wasn't - it was one I set on the server and it was the username I was using wrong - I was trying my koha user instead of root :) |

| 16:24 | wizzyrea_ | bleh, I'm doing something wrong here: |
| 16:24 | SELECT borrowers.cardnumber, borrowers.surname, borrowers.firstname, borrowers.branchcode WHERE borrowers.cardnumber LIKE "1003008003%" AND borrowers.branchcode == "linwood" | |
| 16:25 | what I need to know is all of the cardnumbers above that 100300800% range that are in linwood | |
| 16:25 | i tried with single quotes | |
| 16:27 | jdavidb | use = instead of ==. |
| 16:27 | wizzyrea_ | I tried that too :( |
| 16:28 | jdavidb | I would word it thus: |
| 16:28 | SELECT cardnumber,surname,firstname,branchcode FROM borrowers WHERE cardnumber LIKE "1003008003%" AND branchcode="LINWOOD". | |
| 16:28 | Probably, your branchcodes are all-caps, and the SELECT is case-sensitive. | |
| 16:29 | wizzyrea_ | I did it that way the first time, no results, and I know there *should* be results |
| 16:30 | jdavidb | take out each half of the AND clause, to check each part independently? |
| 16:31 | WHERE cardnumber LIKE "1003008003%" and then WHERE branchcode="LINWOOD" | |
| 16:31 | wizzyrea_ | yea, that's where I'm headed. Blerg. One should not think this hard the day before thanksgiving |
| 16:31 | jdavidb | aw.. |
| 16:31 | wizzyrea_ | :) |
| 16:35 | yea, it doesn't want to combine those two things for whatever reason | |
| 16:35 | it just refuses | |
| 16:35 | I can get them independently | |
| 16:36 | nengard | okay - frameworks docs started - probably needs some work - but it's a start :) http://git.biblibre.com/cgi-bi[…]8ee5f59c51bea8f5e |
| 16:38 | jdavidb | might try some parentheses, wizzyrea_: WHERE (cardnumber LIKE "foo" ) AND (branchcode="blah") couldn't hoit. |
| 16:44 | wizzyrea_ | well I must have had an extra space or something, now it works |
| 16:44 | i'm fuddled. Thanks jdavidb for looking | |

| 17:25 | |Lupin| | hi again everybody |
| 17:25 | our librarian just came to me with a strange issue... | |
| 17:26 | she can't modify a user, and I can't either | |
| 17:26 | Koha complains that the card number is already in use. | |
| 17:26 | Has somebody already met this problem ? | |
| 17:26 | bebbi | Hi |Lupin| |
| 17:26 | |Lupin| | guten Abend bebbi |
| 17:27 | wizzyrea | |Lupin| are you using Owen's hack to put the quick add at the top? |
| 17:27 | |Lupin| patron quick add, that is | |
| 17:28 | bebbi | Auch einen sch�nen Aben |Lupin| und viel Erfolg bei der Probleml�sung ... |
| 17:28 | |Lupin| | wizzyrea: not that I know |
| 17:28 | wizzyrea: if it's not in master, then I think I don't use it. | |
| 17:29 | wizzyrea: I just used the Edit link that appears besides to the user info in the member results after a search | |
| 17:29 | bebbi: viel mal Danke. NIcht einfar. | |
| 17:30 | wizzyrea | |Lupin| owen's little jquery thing puts barcode/birthdate at the top of the add or edit screens, if you fill it in, it says you have a duplicate barcode when editing |
| 17:31 | |Lupin| | wizzyrea: I don't have that... I'm using lynx anyway so that would not be active here, but I don't have it so I think it's a different problem |
| 17:32 | wizzyrea | hrm |
| 17:33 | |Lupin| | wizzyrea: which version of KOha do you have ? |
| 17:33 | wizzyrea | it's older than yours, I think we have 3.01.00.34 or somesuch |
| 17:34 | it's some ways back off of master | |
| 17:36 | |Lupin| | wizzyrea: ok, but not too far, thogh... |
| 17:37 | wizzyrea: would you mind trying to modify something related to a member, just to see if it works for you ? | |
| 17:37 | wizzyrea | |Lupin| I'm curious if the koha logs say anything |
| 17:37 | |Lupin| | wizzyrea: like just adding a space in an address, so something like that... |
| 17:37 | wizzyrea | |Lupin| we'd have heard about it if it didn't work, our librarians are doing it every day |
| 17:37 | it definitely works for us :( | |
| 17:38 | |Lupin| | I can check the logs... |
| 17:40 | hdl | |Lupin| ? Can you tell me more ? |
| 17:42 | |Lupin| | wizzyrea: it doesn't like line 722 of members/memberentry.pl: my $newentry = { map { $_ => $entry->{$_} } %$entry }; |
| 17:42 | rather unclear to me... | |
| 17:42 | hdl: sure I can... the error is ERROR_cardnumber | |

| 17:49 | nengard | Hi all -Report question - how would I query info in the Marc record? Like if I wanted to grab a list of subject headings and count how many times they're each used? |
| 17:52 | * owen | Chirping crickets |
| 17:54 | nengard | uh huh |
| 17:54 | was scared of that | |
| 17:54 | come on people - you can't tell me that no customers ever asked for this .... | |
| 17:56 | jwagner | nengard, _I_ ask for lots of stuff like that -- the ability to dump out particular MARC fields, the ability to edit particular MARC fields, etc. etc. It just isn't real easy to do with Koha's handling of MARC records. I have plans..... |
| 17:57 | nengard | hmmm |
| 17:57 | i don't mind hard - i just need to see one example to try and do it for myself and my customers | |
| 17:59 | paul_p left #koha | |
| 18:00 | jwagner | You won't get one from me -- I haven't figured it out myself. Some of our MySQL experts may have, I think, but I Are No Expert. |
| 18:01 | owen | I would think you'd need some kind of specialized query of Zebra |
| 18:01 | nengard | why zebra - isn't the marc stored in the mysql tables? |
| 18:02 | jdavidb | In one big field, yes. |
| 18:02 | jwagner | It's in one big blob in biblioitems, if I remember correctly. The trick is reading that blob & extracting just what you want. |
| 18:02 | nengard | k |
| 18:03 | jdavidb | I've seen a few things where you can grab a control field, like if 001 starts with EBL on a bunch of records, with WHERE biblioitems.marcxml LIKE '%<controlfield tag="001">EBL%' but that is *really* gruesome. |
| 18:04 | brute-force searches of the marcxml would be very inefficient, I should think. | |
| 18:04 | chris_n | nengard: I think the marc is stored as a blog in xml in biblioitems |
| 18:04 | nengard | yep - found that |
| 18:04 | chris_n | what jdavidb said :-) |
| 18:04 | |Lupin| | someone remembers how to temporarily disable a unicity constraint in mysql, pls ? |
| 18:05 | nengard | okay - so how do we pull data out of the blob to print on the screen - and on the catalogign form |
| 18:05 | isn't there a query for that? or are we doing it a diff way | |
| 18:05 | chris_n | nengard: you could write a script using XML::Simple to do something with it perhaps |
| 18:05 | but probably not a direct SQL query | |
| 18:06 | jdavidb | At the hitlist level, it's coming from Zebra, mostly. When you get to the edit screen, it's being SELECTed on the biblionumber, and XML libraries are being used to chop it up for editing, then put it back together again. |
| 18:06 | If I'm understanding it right. | |
| 18:06 | nengard | hmm |
| 18:06 | this is not good news at all | |
| 18:07 | every cataloger wants data on the items they've cataloged - data about authors, subject headings, etc etc etc | |
| 18:07 | jdavidb | nope. It's a tremendous weakness in the data model. If you don't store it in SQL, basically, reporting Just Won't Happen |
| 18:07 | pastebot | "chris_n" at 192.168.15.101 pasted "marcxml blob example" (106 lines) at http://paste.workbuffer.org/63 |
| 18:07 | chris_n | nengard: ^^ |
| 18:08 | nengard | chris_n yeah i have that open |
| 18:08 | and i understand what jdavidb is saying - but trying to count the occurences of subject headings or authors when there can be morethan one per blob is where i'm stuck | |
| 18:10 | jdavidb | you would almost need a hook into zebra to do searches like that, and get back the biblionumbers of relevant records, then just slice-and-dice those. |
| 18:10 | jwagner | nengard, both jdavidb and I come from Sirsi Unicorn, where you had lots of tools to be able to export and manipulate not only the item data but the MARC data itself. I used to produce massive cleanup lists for the catalogers of subject headings with typos, outdated subject headings, 856s for URL checking, etc. I _really_ miss that with Koha. |
| 18:11 | nengard | so maybe we need to figure out how to fix koha so that that can be done |
| 18:11 | * jdavidb | hands nengard the keys to a Maserati with no transmission. |
| 18:11 | nengard | data should be stored in individual fields in a table(s) |
| 18:11 | chris_n | jdavidb: lol! |
| 18:12 | jwagner | That's one of my long-term dreams for Koha development. Of course, that means someone else (cough, cough) gets to do the actual work -- it's beyond me. But I know what I want it to do! |
| 18:12 | jdavidb | oh, heck no, nengard. Every change to the MARC standard would require restructuring of the database tables. |
| 18:12 | nengard | okay - then what do you suggest? |
| 18:12 | jwagner | There are (there have to be) tools to store the MARC record itself in a table, and parse out the fields/subfields as needed. |
| 18:13 | jdavidb | Storing the MARCXML not in a blob in the table, perhaps, but in a separate XML-native database, which could do that sort of searching inherently. |
| 18:13 | jwagner | Then the MARC record links to the items & whatever other tables it needs to, like now on biblionumber. |
| 18:13 | jdavidb | Either that, or better XML slice-and-dicing available to the reports module. (since none is available now) |
| 18:13 | chris_n | nengard: jdavidb's suggestion of zebra + script is probably the best solution given the status quo |
| 18:13 | nengard | my prob with the marcxml - or the way it's presented is things like the subject headings which you can't search or browse in koha in the way a cataloger would expect |
| 18:13 | i don't want to just see $a - I want to see the entire subject heading - all subfields | |
| 18:13 | and i want to search for them that way too | |
| 18:14 | chris_n - I know mysql - I do not know perl or zebra - and so i'm screwed if that's the only option | |
| 18:14 | * jdavidb | edits nengard's last to read "...i'm screwed for now if that's..." |
| 18:15 | brendan left #koha | |
| 18:15 | nengard | and how long is 'for now'? |
| 18:15 | jdavidb | Until someone has some serious time to hack on it. Or serious sponsorship. |
| 18:15 | nengard | right - so a long long long time |
| 18:15 | :( | |
| 18:15 | jdavidb | Not necessarily. |
| 18:15 | nengard | you know something i don't know |
| 18:15 | like thatyou're going ot have serious time or funding soon? | |
| 18:15 | wizzyrea left #koha | |
| 18:15 | jdavidb | yeah, I do. I know what needs hacking. I don't know about time or funding, no. |
| 18:16 | jwagner | We've been kicking around ideas on this for months. Just a question of getting the time and funding.... |
| 18:16 | nengard | yup |
| 18:16 | jdavidb | My approach, rather than trash the data model, would be a re-do of the reports module, to include tools for searching Zebra and extracting and displaying MARC fields. |
| 18:16 | Seems to me that'd be the smaller problem. | |
| 18:17 | jwagner | I have lots of other dreams, too, like making it easier to control what fields are indexed and displayed. |
| 18:17 | nengard | better idea - that others have had - scrap zebra alltogether |
| 18:17 | it's more trouble than it's worth | |
| 18:17 | i think it was chris and nahuel | |
| 18:17 | jdavidb | Handle the search part like Sirsi's seltext API, which does searches Just Like The Opac, and gives back biblionumbers. |
| 18:18 | Wouldn't hurt my feelings to switch to some sort of native-XML database. | |
| 18:18 | jwagner | Fine by me -- zebra's caused me nothing but grief every time I've had to mess with it. As long as there is something better, which I think there is. |
| 18:18 | chris_n | nengard: nozebra code in koha has many more problems iirc than zebra has problems |
| 18:18 | so that solution would take some major changes as well | |
| 18:19 | * chris_n | thinks Search.pm could also benefit from a re-factor, however |
| 18:19 | jdavidb | Replacing Zebra would be major surgery. Major-major. Like, take-your-brain-out-and-put-it-another-body major. |
| 18:19 | nengard | jdavidb - well that said - i know it's in the plans |
| 18:19 | that's what i know :) hehe | |
| 18:20 | jdavidb | :) I'm glad. Zebra has a number of issues that limit its' usefulness, IMO. |
| 18:20 | nengard | yup yup |
| 18:20 | jdavidb | I'd like to see things modified where any arbitrary metadata format can be used, and the user can control display, indexing, everything, from inside Koha frameworks. |
| 18:20 | nengard | frameworks - another area worth ranting about |
| 18:21 | jwagner | Don't Get Me Started! |
| 18:21 | nengard | why the heck do i have to delete each individual tag one at a time? if I want to create a brief record template it takes nearly an hour to remove all the fields i don't need |
| 18:21 | i need checkboxes | |
| 18:21 | |Lupin| | mysql> alter table borrowers drop key cardnumber; |
| 18:21 | this fails with the following error: | |
| 18:22 | * chris_n | thinks nengard should like the labels interface if checkboxes make her happy |
| 18:22 | |Lupin| | ERROR 1025 (HY000): Error on rename of './braillenet_koha/#sql-723_ef' to './braillenet_koha/borrowers' (errno: 150) |
| 18:22 | any idea ? :) | |
| 18:22 | I feel dry... | |
| 18:22 | jdavidb | chris_n, do you think my notion of hacking on the report module is the Right Way to go at it? |
| 18:22 | nengard | lol - they don't always - but it just seems stupid to have over 300 links to delete things ... ther eare more efficient options |
| 18:22 | chris_n | jdavidb: that is probably the approach I would take give the way things are |
| 18:22 | nengard | reports needs work too - i'm with you on that |
| 18:23 | jdavidb | Use Search.pm to do the searches, so a refactor there won't break anything, then write some sort of report definition language to allow the user to snag the MARC fields. |
| 18:23 | nengard | i'd love to be able to put my where clause in using the wizard - |
| 18:23 | chris_n | |Lupin|: probably a foreign key or unique key problem |
| 18:24 | |Lupin| | chris_n: aaaah... hmm I'd need to temporarily disable the unicity checks on cardnumbers so that I can update them... not sure how I should do... |
| 18:24 | jdavidb | Boxes: Search this <box>, then output this: <box>, sorted by <box> ...user fills in the boxes, and a report jumps out. |
| 18:24 | |Lupin| | maybe I can do m updates in a clever way, actually... |
| 18:25 | chris_n | |Lupin|: SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0; |
| 18:25 | |Lupin|: SET UNIQUE_KEY_CHECKS=0; | |
| 18:25 | |Lupin|: and then set them back to 1 afterwards | |
| 18:25 | nengard | jdavidb - add - where <box> |
| 18:26 | |Lupin| | chris_n: ahhh thanks ! I was pretty sure I already did such a thing but couldn't find the magical lines... thanks !! |
| 18:26 | fredericd | nengard: Concerning framework editing, since you're a SQL wizard, just do it direcly in MySQL. With marc_tag_structure and marc_subfield_structure tables... |
| 18:26 | can't agree more on your marcxml reporting discussion... | |
| 18:26 | even if I'm not sure Zebra is so bad... | |
| 18:26 | nengard | fredericd - yes I can do that - but the librarians I train can't - so they sit there for hours clicking delete |
| 18:27 | we need to design for the librarians - not the sql experts | |
| 18:27 | |Lupin| | chris_n: ERROR 1062 (23000): Duplicate entry '3' for key 'cardnumber' |
| 18:27 | (although it has been disabled... | |
| 18:28 | fredericd | so it's just a matter of improving UI: not very invoicable |
| 18:28 | |Lupin| | (althogh the checks have been disabled, I mean) |
| 18:28 | jwagner | What I'd like is one table that is the complete MARC standard -- 000 through 999. Then make the frameworks select fields to display & edit from the standard as needed (for books, serials, whatever). But there's only one underlying MARC, which will make it easier to maintain when LC makes changes. |
| 18:28 | chris_n | |Lupin|: I'm not sure there |
| 18:29 | |Lupin| | chris_n: ok, np, I'll see if I can do my updates in a way that aways respects the constraints... |
| 18:30 | chris_n | jwagner: so various frameworks essentially become simple "filters" through which one views the standard |
| 18:30 | nice solution | |
| 18:30 | |Lupin|: you did disable both foreign key and unique key checks? | |
| 18:30 | jwagner | After suffering through years of updating 12-15 format policies in Unicorn every time there was a change to the MARC standard (Unicorn also has them separate), believe me I'll do anything to simplify the frameworks! |
| 18:31 | chris_n | simplification++ |
| 18:31 | paul_p joined #koha | |
| 18:31 | chris_n | wb paul_p |
| 18:31 | jdavidb | Better quit talking about paul_p..he's here! |
| 18:31 | jwagner | As much as I used to complain about Unicorn, though, I have to admit that it did do a LOT of things right. I want to steal, er, adapt some of those for Koha. |
| 18:32 | paul_p | sorry, but not really here : just checking my gmail calendar for a meeting with a teacher of my 1st son. |
| 18:33 | chris_n | jdavidb: ok we can go back to talking about paul_p since he's not really here ;-) |
| 18:33 | fredericd | salut Paul ! |
| 18:33 | jdavidb | okay. |
| 18:33 | jwagner | Pay no attention to that man behind the alias.... |
| 18:34 | * chris_n | wishes he could think code and it appear in vim |
| 18:34 | chris_n | things would go a lot faster |
| 18:34 | jwagner | I dream in code sometimes. Does that work too? |
| 18:35 | chris_n | that's a step in the right direction |
| 18:36 | jwagner | But I can think of more exciting things to dream about :-( |
| 18:36 | chris_n | heh |
| 18:38 | jdavidb | chris_n: for the searching bit, what if you created a variation of C4::Search::SimpleSearch to return biblionumbers instead of MARC results? It can take a CCL query as input, which is what you'd want the user putting in the box. |
| 18:39 | chris | the thing that we have to deal with |
| 18:39 | that others simply dont bother with | |
| 18:39 | is the fact we deal with more than just MARC21 | |
| 18:39 | nengard left #koha | |
| 18:39 | chris | whatever you do cannot break what is a fundamentally cool feature of Koha |
| 18:40 | jdavidb | chris: yep. That's why I have this mad dream of using some mechanism to allow any arbitrary metadata form--any of the MARCish ones, or DC, or MODS, whatever you can describe in an XML DTD. |
| 18:40 | chris | yep |
| 18:40 | chris_n | chris: will the cleanup of circulation include some cleanup of C4::Search? |
| 18:41 | chris | C4::Search is on the list to be refactored/rewritten for 3.4 |
| 18:41 | its about 2000 lines too long for a start | |
| 18:41 | |Lupin| | when a member is modified from within staff client, is it's password also modified ? |
| 18:41 | I'm asking because there is some value in the password field so I hope modifying user info does not alter the password ? | |
| 18:41 | chris | |Lupin|: no, only when you modify it |
| 18:41 | jwagner | It shouldn't be unless you specifically edit the password field. |
| 18:42 | chris | but letting the reports talk to the xml would be good too |
| 18:43 | |Lupin| | jwagner: well, when I go from field to field I can see there is some value there but perhaps it is ignored... I don't understand how that could be achieved, though |
| 18:43 | paul_p left #koha | |
| 18:43 | chris | postgres has an xml datatype |
| 18:43 | chris_n | chris: I was wondering about that |
| 18:44 | chris | and then by using xpath and views |
| 18:44 | you can search/report over it | |
| 18:44 | materialised views | |
| 18:44 | make the db do the work for ya | |
| 18:45 | chris_n | yup, very cool xml functions there |
| 18:45 | chris | we need a hackfest |
| 18:45 | chris_n | very fast too, with the db engine doing the work |
| 18:45 | pg++ | |
| 18:45 | chris | to try things like this |
| 18:46 | but yeah i think we need to try some things | |
| 18:46 | pg xml datatypes | |
| 18:46 | solr | |
| 18:46 | etc | |
| 18:46 | get some wip branches going | |
| 18:47 | ill bring up the idea of cool friday | |
| 18:47 | at the next dev meeting | |
| 18:47 | chris_n | mysql also has some xml functions |
| 18:47 | chris | 1 friday a month |
| 18:47 | ppl do a show and tell of cool things they are playing with | |
| 18:47 | often things like that are the spark needed | |
| 18:48 | (at work we have a pizza thursday for that) | |
| 18:48 | chris_n | *sigh* ...so many areas to explore ...so little time |
| 18:49 | chris | yep |
| 18:50 | i do think a quick middle ground is jdavidb idea of allowing the reports module to query individual marc fields via zebra | |
| 18:50 | query the sql | |
| 18:51 | or query marc | |
| 18:51 | jdavidb | Wouldn't require a great deal of work to at least get the *querying* part working. |
| 18:51 | chris | *nod* |
| 18:51 | and for things like, how many records are using this subject heading | |
| 18:51 | would be useful | |
| 18:51 | ok bus time | |
| 18:55 | tomascohen left #koha | |
| 19:04 | |Lupin| | our librarian just forwarded to me amessage she received entitled "User Request for update of Record." |
| 19:05 | can that be send by a spammer, or should that be regarded as a legitimate request ? | |
| 19:06 | indradg left #koha | |
| 19:07 | jwagner | If the patron logged into his account and changed account details, it would generate that email to the library. |
| 19:08 | |Lupin| | jwagner: oh yes ? |
| 19:09 | jwagner: so it is mandatory that when a patron modifies his details this has to be one by the librarian then ? | |
| 19:09 | * chris_n | wanders off on the xml tangent for a while |
| 19:09 | |Lupin| | jwagner: cause the mail does not say changes have been done, it requires the librarian to do them... |
| 19:11 | jwagner | Right -- that's basic security. Patrons don't get to edit the database directly. (Except for enhanced messaging settings.) |
| 19:12 | |Lupin| | jwagner: hmm! so this is something that can't be changed ?? |
| 19:12 | jwagner | It probably could but I don't think it should be changed. Bad idea to open up edit rights. |
| 19:13 | |Lupin| | jwagner: oh but if the patron is logged in... |
| 19:13 | jwagner | I'm a little surprised that when the enhanced messaging section was added it allows direct edits. |
| 19:14 | brendan joined #koha | |
| 19:14 | |Lupin| | hmm I'm prety sure our librarian won't be very happy when I'll tell her tha she will have to do manually with the new system something that didn't require her intervension with the old one... |
| 19:16 | owen | jwagner: At least enhanced messaging edits aren't potentially destructive |
| 19:17 | jwagner | owen, yes, that's probably why it was done. It just surprised me. |

| 19:18 | chris_n | very cool and very easy |
| 19:18 | jdavidb | chris_n++ |
| 19:20 | you could SELECT the ExtractValue AS somethingshort FROM biblioitems WHERE anything you please; then? | |
| 19:20 | jwagner | chris_n++ Loverly! When can we have it??? |
| 19:20 | chris_n | I've not worked through the particulars yet |
| 19:21 | jwagner | details, details.... |
| 19:21 | chris_n | I think something like SELECT ExtractValue((SELECT xmlfoo), xpath-foo) might be possible |
| 19:22 | jdavidb | Looks like you could do SELECT ExtractValue(marcxml, ' stuff') AS stuff from biblioitems WHERE ... |
| 19:22 | bebbi | Bye bye everybody |

| 19:25 | chris_n | it gets cooler by the minute |
| 19:26 | * chris_n | looks around for nengard |
| 19:26 | jwagner | can you do a select where, say, author = Somebody? |
| 19:27 | jdavidb | You've already got that in biblio or bibliotiems. This would be most useful for things that aren't there, or are repeated fields, like 650s. |
| 19:29 | jwagner | can you do where 650 = Something? |
| 19:29 | chris_n | where does not seem to work with the query's current form |
| 19:30 | jwagner | But you could at least dump out all the 650s, then use another script or tool to manipulate them? Maybe dump out their biblionumbers too so you can track back to the record. |
| 19:30 | jdavidb | possibly. |
| 19:31 | jwagner | Like Joel Hahn's prtmarc.pl tool for Unicorn -- dump out the fields, then use something else to play with them. |
| 19:32 | chris_n | at any rate, it is clear that more of the xml parsing could be pushed off to the mysql engine |
| 19:32 | and the reporting module can access the xml elements more directly | |
| 19:33 | jwagner | Cool! We Wants It, We Wants It!!! |
| 19:35 | brendan left #koha | |
| 19:40 | |Lupin| | jwagner: coming back to the conversation we had about letting or not patrons modify their data... would it be acceptable to store their requests in a database table and to let a staff member moderate them ? |
| 19:44 | jwagner | I'm not the security guru, but I have a real reluctance to allow anyone outside the staff module modify substantive data (including addresses, email, etc.). I'm not sure how storing it in a table would be much different than just having the librarian look at the email. Someone would still need to moderate in some fashion. |
| 19:45 | |Lupin| | jwagner: yes, but moderate could be done just by pressing a buton |
| 19:45 | jwagner: whereas here one has to figure out which field has changed, then copy/paste the value... not that simple IMO | |
| 19:45 | jwagner | If you write a lot of backend code to do it, yes. How many of these changes do you expec? |

| 19:46 | chris_n | hmm.... foo fodder? |
| 19:47 | jwagner | chris+n, not sure what the example is doing. The first one is selecting all barcodes, yes? And where it says subfield[@code="p"][2] that's saying give me the second barcode? |

| 19:47 | munin | rhcl: pianohacker was last seen in #koha 17 hours, 45 minutes, and 36 seconds ago: <pianohacker> bye |
| 19:47 | |Lupin| | jwagner: I don't know.. I just find it inconvenient to do just one change, especially when you read in braille inding out what has changed is not easy |
| 19:48 | perhaps the mail could list only the fields that have been modified and that would make the thing a bit easier... | |
| 19:48 | jwagner | Yes, in your case that might be worth doing some development to make it easier. |
| 19:50 | chris_n | jwagner: correct |
| 19:50 | |Lupin| | jwagner: doesn't it make any difference for a sighted person ? difficult for me to evaluate whether this looks difficult to me because I'm blind or because I'm lazy |
| 19:50 | chris_n | just array notation to specify which barcode |
| 19:50 | jwagner | chris_n, can you make it put some kind of separator between the barcodes? |
| 19:50 | chris_n | but mysql array elements begin with 1 not 0 like perl |
| 19:51 | jwagner: maybe with a concat()? | |
| 19:51 | jwagner | to get output like JL08040014|JL08121992, so another script could split them up? |
| 19:52 | chris | so you can do this |
| 19:52 | jwagner | |Lupin|, I'm not too familiar with the output of that edit page, but the layout could probably be improved for everyone. |
| 19:53 | chris_n | concat() does not do what might be expected... it puts the separator after the result set |
| 19:53 | ie JL08040014 JL08121992| | |
| 19:55 | chris | jdavidb: have you listed http://github.com/ptfs/Koha-PTFS on the wiki? |
| 19:56 | chris_n | 'SELECT ExtractValue((SELECT marcxml FROM biblioitems WHERE biblionumber=14), '//datafield[@tag="952"]/subfield[@code>="a"]') AS ITEM;' returns the entire 952 data for all 952 fields |
| 19:56 | non-delimited of course | |
| 19:56 | chris | you know what |
| 19:56 | jdavidb | Not yet, chris; I just got it breathing today. |
| 19:56 | chris | awesome work |
| 19:58 | if you do a sub query or two, you could report over subject headings that way quite easily | |
| 19:59 | chris_n | chris: there seems to be a large potential to dis-encumber some of koha's code very easily here |
| 19:59 | chris | yup |
| 19:59 | chris_n | 3.4 stuff? |
| 19:59 | chris | i mean there is no way youd every want to search using this |
| 19:59 | but reports, that'd be fine | |
| 20:00 | chris_n | its a bit limited... the wish-list could easily get large |
| 20:01 | chris | yep |
| 20:01 | but being able to do things like, find me all the biblios that use clown as their subject heading | |
| 20:01 | could be done | |
| 20:02 | chris_n | it really needs WHERE ability |
| 20:03 | chris | subselects |

| 20:03 | changing it to be 650a | |
| 20:03 | and fixing the brackets | |
| 20:09 | jwagner | As a first step toward usability, I wonder if we could predefine a few useful searches/outputs, like give me all the 650s and do reports for them in the delivered group. |

| 20:14 | jdavidb | Gonna try to fling a few branches over the wall this weekend...got the public repo breathing, which helps a little. |
| 20:14 | jwagner | probably people pasting code in, like <! -- etc. |

| 20:17 | chris | yeah its a long tail |
| 20:19 | |Lupin| | chris: our librarian asks me whether it is possible to see the recent additions to the catalogue on OPAC's start page... I don't know. Anyh idea pls ? |
| 20:20 | * chris_n | comes back in off of the xml tangent |
| 20:20 | chris_n | time to go back to work :-| |
| 20:21 | chris | yes |
| 20:22 | is the short answer | |
| 20:22 | ill give you the long answer after work ;) | |
| 20:23 | |Lupin| | chris: cool ! after work means tomorrow morning UTC+1 ? |
| 20:24 | chris | about 9 hours time from now |
| 20:24 | |Lupin| | hmm very early then here... not sure I'll be awaken... |
| 20:25 | chris: do you want me to send you a reminder and thenperhaps you'd send me the response by email ? | |
| 20:25 | chris | can do |
| 20:25 | jwagner | jdavidb had dome some development for a new books list -- is that ready to fling out too? |
| 20:26 | jdavidb | The first rev of it is. I have some enhancements in mind, that I may or may not get too any time soon. |
| 20:26 | It's not *beautiful*, but it works. Someone else might love on it and make it wonderful. | |
| 20:34 | |Lupin| | jdavidb: what is it exactly that you have developed ? |
| 20:35 | jdavidb | a front-page addon for new titles. It's got several sysprefs attached, for flexibility in setup--lets you exclude a group of item types, title the box how you want, that kind of thing. |
| 20:36 | It looks like a hitlist result, right now. I want to do a shelf-browser-looking thing, as V2. | |
| 20:36 | Sysprefs also let you say how many days something is "new", and how many items to put on the front page. | |
| 20:37 | You can say, 21 days, and 10 items, and it'll list the ten newest titles in the catalog, unless they're older than 21 days. | |
| 20:40 | rhcl | @seen kyle |
| 20:40 | munin | rhcl: kyle was last seen in #koha 8 weeks, 0 days, 5 hours, 24 minutes, and 57 seconds ago: <kyle> It wouldn't be a bad idea to add the messages to the Borrower Details screen as well. |
| 20:40 | rhcl | Hummm, where's kyle been lately? |
| 20:40 | chris | he isnt usually on #koha |
| 20:40 | never really has been | |
| 20:41 | email is your best bet | |
| 20:41 | rhcl | Yea, I wanted to chat with him about his kiosk app. |
| 20:42 | jdavidb left #koha | |
| 20:42 | * jwagner | is glad to be working from home this afternoon -- the traffic maps already look gruesome as the holiday traffic hits.... |
| 20:45 | Nate left #koha | |
| 20:47 | rhcl | found this note interesting: "Added koha2libki script to delete accounts in libki that no longer exist in koha." http://libki.org/ |

| 21:23 | Ropuch | My Koha presentation on Open Solaris is considered the best one |
| 21:24 | * Ropuch | is proud ;> |
| 21:24 | chris | wooo well done Ropuch |

| 21:27 | Ropuch | Actually I've always wanted to visit that part of the world |
| 21:27 | so I'm seriously considering holiday trip plus kohacon [; | |
| 21:32 | chris | good idea |
| 21:32 | october is a good time to visit, not overrun by tourists | |

| 21:44 | nicomo left #koha | |
| 21:47 | henrybankh | I am having a problem with my symbolic link between apache2 and koha-httpd.conf |
| 21:48 | and NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts | |
| 21:49 | rich-away left #koha | |
| 21:50 | henrybankh | I think my problems involve sudo a2dissite default, how do I undo it's effects? |
| 22:00 | jwagner | Happy Thanksgiving everyone -- see you next week. |
| 22:00 | jwagner left #koha | |
| 22:04 | Ropuch | a2ensite? |
| 22:05 | a2ensite is opposite to a2dissite | |
| 22:05 | bah | |
| 22:05 | Good night everubody | |
| 22:11 | henrybankh | I tried a2ensite also |
| 22:12 | but I still get NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts | |
| 22:14 | magnusenger left #koha | |
| 22:23 | magnus left #koha | |
| 22:28 | hdl | henrybankh: you should disable NameVirtualhost in /etc/apache2/ports.conf |
| 23:09 | rhcl left #koha | |
| 23:15 | chris_n2 joined #koha | |
| 23:19 | henrybankh | by commenting it out# and then restart aapche? |
| 23:21 | hdl | yes |
| 23:21 | henrybankh | thanks--I thry now |
| 23:21 | matts left #koha | |
| 23:22 | henrybankh | so good, when I restarted apache no error |
| 23:24 | but I get the 404 error when I go to local host | |
| 23:26 | so my sym links are messed up I think | |
| 23:27 | matts joined #koha | |
| 23:29 | hdl | henrybankh: maybe your default vhost is messing up with your opac |
| 23:33 | henrybankh | hdl: I think my default is missing? I don't see a default in sites-enabled only koha |
| 23:35 | hdl: In sites available I have abroken symbolic link also |
