05:01 wajasu Continuing my transform from a legacy catalogue database to koha, I wonder if I should format all the call numbers to no have spaces between the logic breaking points.  The spaces had been added so the spine label would print and break on space.  Should I store it without spaces and design a new spine label accordingly with koha or leave them in?

12:48 nahuel yep
12:48 you made the offline circ on koha3.0 ?
12:48 isn't it ?
12:52 slef no, kyle did that one
12:52 I'm interested in it but have not yet had chance to look at it (oh, so often)
12:52 nahuel héhé
12:52 Some user of us found some problems with it
12:53 slef I've spent lots of time on various pieces of failing network hardware so far this week :-(
12:53 nahuel héhé
12:53 ok thanks
12:53 slef post to katipo list and ask where to send bugs?
12:54 chris_n zico: rebuild_zebra.pl -r -a -b should do it

13:06 hdl_laptop hi
13:06 gmcharlt: around ?
13:07 gmcharlt hdl_laptop: yes
13:07 hdl_laptop hi gmcharlt
13:07 I saw that master branch is kicking alive GREAT.
13:07 gmcharlt had a question for you - I'm about to pull in the last of the new_acq fixes and branch off 3.2.x - please confirm which branch to pull from
13:08 hdl_laptop I just rebased a koha_biblibre_master on your official_master
13:08 I could send the patches onlist if you want
13:09 CGI562 Hello, can anyone help with a problem i am experiencing?
13:09 hdl_laptop s/your official_master/ the official master/
13:10 CGI562 I have installed Koha but i am at the same time having problems with loading ebooks on it
13:11 cant i load ebooks and ejournals within koha system?
13:12 hdl_laptop gmcharlt: ?
13:12 CGI562: you have to have a different repository and management for those at the moment
13:13 CGI562: you can add link to those ressources in a subfield but Koha is an ILS not a ERM.
13:15 zico joined #koha
13:17 zico chris_n: thanks chris, it`s working now
13:17 owen joined #koha
13:18 chris_n g'morning owen
13:18 owen Hi
13:18 gmcharlt hdl_laptop: I'll pull from koha_biblibre_master
13:19 hdl_laptop ok.
13:19 It is the uptodate 3.2 for us.
13:19 chris_n is anyone using the xslt features in opac and successfully displaying 505$t ?
13:21 jwagner chris_n, I don't recall trying for the 505$t, but looking at the MARC21slim2OPACDetail.xsl file, it should show if indicator 2 is 0.  You should be able to modify that file to show it regardless of the indicator.
13:21 zico left #koha
13:22 chris_n jwagner: that's what I thought, however regardless of the indicator the tag does not display :-(
13:22 I suppose I'll have to go into debug mode
13:23 jwagner You could try adding t to the line <xsl:with-param name="codes">au</xsl:with-param>
13:23 chris_n 505$t displays fine under the "Title Notes" tab in opac-detail.pl though, so it must be the xml
13:24 I'll try that and see what's up
13:24 jwagner ? Where were you trying to make it show?  All the 5xx fields show in that Title Notes tab and I've had limited success trying to make them appear elsewhere.
13:26 schuster joined #koha
13:30 gmcharlt hdl_laptop: I'm not seeing a koha_biblibre_master on git://git.biblibre.com/koha_biblibre.git
13:30 hdl_laptop it is named master
13:31 CGI562 left #koha
13:36 gmcharlt hdl_laptop: tons of merge conflicts - please give me a branch I can pull from
13:37 hdl_laptop gmcharlt: you should see 3.2_biblibre appear.
13:38 It is the official/master with koha_biblibre_master on top
13:38 Hoping that the rebase was ok
13:41 gmcharlt hdl_laptop: it needs work before I can merge it, mostly in updatedatabase.pl
13:41 please review changes from colin re update database fixes
13:41 hdl_laptop those changes should be taken into account.
13:42 It is a rebase on top of master.
13:42 gmcharlt and fix the ersatz extra "3.01.00.102" and ersatz '3.02.00.015'
13:42 a rebase is not completely magical - you still have to ensure that changes the updatedatabase.pl make sense
13:43 CGI562 joined #koha
13:44 CGI562 how do you link/specify a file from your local system with Koha?
13:45 gmcharlt CGI562: you can add an 856 field to a bib record pointing to the resource, assuming it's available over the web
13:45 hdl_laptop gmcharlt: Just saw those two ersatz.
13:46 chris_n jwagner: when xslt is enabled in the detail view, a 'Contents:' tag is displayed directly below the 'Related Subjects' tag
13:46 hdl_laptop And also the diff on updatedatabase.
13:46 gmcharlt: Is a patch fixing those on top ok ?
13:46 CGI562 i am new to koha and i have some pdf files on my system that i want to paths into koha
13:47 gmcharlt hdl_laptop: yes, I can pull again when you have it ready
13:47 CGI562 what do you mean by 856 field to a bib record
13:47 hdl_laptop gmcharlt: this branch was not meant to be out today.
13:47 gmcharlt ?
13:48 do you want me to hold off pulling from it?
13:48 hdl_laptop gmcharlt: i wanted to have it tested.
13:48 gmcharlt hdl_laptop++
13:49 CGI562: a bibliographic record stores information about a title you have in the catalog.  Koha stores bib records in somethign called MARC format
13:49 CGI562 gmcharlt, please give me insight into what you mean by 856 field to a bib record
13:49 gmcharlt and MARC uses numeric tags to identify fields
13:49 if you're using the US/Australian/Canadia/British/etc of MARC called MARC21
13:49 tag 245 holds the title, for instance
13:49 CGI562 i am all ear
13:50 gmcharlt tag 856 is designated for a URL
13:50 so if you have a PDF located at http://yourserver.org/pdfs/1.pdf for example
13:50 you can add an 856 to a bib record with that URL in a subfield $u
13:50 CGI562 ok
13:50 gmcharlt and Koha will display that bib in the catalog interface with a hyperlink
13:51 hdl_laptop: how long, then?
13:51 hdl_laptop So that I will try to have it for tomorrow
13:52 owen Just updated to the latest HEAD and I'm getting this error from admin/preferences.pl: Can't locate C4/Bookfund.pm in @INC
13:52 gmcharlt ok
13:52 CGI562 where is your pdfs directory located on your system? Is it at the koha document root or what is the koha document root?
13:53 gmcharlt, where is your pdfs directory located on your system? Is it at the koha document root or what is the koha document root?
13:53 gmcharlt that's essentially up to you - you can configure Apache to create a directory for them
13:53 I would recommend keeping them outside of the Koha document root, actually
13:54 hdl_laptop: re owen's query, is there a new_acq equivalent to GetLocalCurrency()?
13:54 CGI562 ok
13:55 gmcharlt, thanks, i shall try your recommendations and get back to you. But are you always online?
13:56 gmcharlt CGI562: heh - no, but there are always lots of people on #koha
13:56 schuster When it comes to MARC records there are several of us here that might be able to help you - he was just faster on the draw today!
13:56 jwagner Also see the LC standard for MARC records at http://www.loc.gov/marc/biblio[…]hic/ecbdhome.html
13:57 schuster Or you can post to koha-discuss or koha-dev and you will get responses to questions on the forum.
13:57 goodone jwagner...
13:57 gmcharlt koha-discuss? what list be that?
13:58 CGI562: the Library of Congress has a tutorial on MARC as well - http://www.loc.gov/marc/umb/
13:58 schuster: the main koha mailing list I assume, not a new list actually called koha-discuss?
14:01 schuster Yes gmcharlt the general mailing list - it comes up for me as koha-discuss - http://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
14:02 gmcharlt owen: I've pusehd a patch that should fix that problem
14:02 owen Thanks gmcharlt
14:03 gmcharlt @later tell pianohacker will you have a chance to update the new sysprefs page for the new_acq and other new preferences?
14:03 munin` gmcharlt: The operation succeeded.
14:17 owen gmcharlt: I'm still getting the same error after updating
14:20 gmcharlt owen: still complaing about C4::Bookfund?
14:20 owen Oh, sorry I'm not paying attention well enough. Now it's complaining about Budget.pm
14:21 CGI562 please, is this link for koha related problems alone or general programming problems?
14:21 gmcharlt owen: sorry - try again
14:22 owen CGI562: Which link? The Koha mailing list? It's for Koha related problems.
14:23 Now it's "Can't use an undefined value as a HASH reference at /home/oleonard/kohaclone/admin/preferences.pl line 46."
14:25 gmcharlt owen: is there an active currency defined in your database - currency where active = 1?
14:25 schuster CGI562 - if you have specific programming issues there is a list for development as well - http://lists.koha.org/mailman/listinfo/koha-devel
14:25 owen gmcharlt: No
14:26 schuster go owen go owen...  We know you can do it!!  Blaze the trail for the rest of us thank you!
14:30 * jwagner hands schuster a cheerleader's pom-pom :-)
14:30 gmcharlt pictures, please
14:32 schuster http://image.orientaltrading.c[…]g?resize(120x120) - I don't have a good picture of owen or I'd work up something better...
14:33 http://miburl.com/23Oytq
14:33 gmcharlt owen: third time's a charm, hopefully
14:33 jwagner Heh.  I'll settle for detailed notes from owen :-)
14:34 CGI562 thank you everybody, i will be back some other time, let me try the adding of records on koha as recommended by gmcharlt.
14:34 owen "Global symbol "$currency" requires explicit package name at /home/oleonard/kohaclone/admin/preferences.pl line 48."
14:36 * gmcharlt redefines "third" to mean "fourth"
14:36 gmcharlt try again
14:36 owen Success
14:37 Yay new system prefs!
14:37 gmcharlt owen++ # you're one patient dude
14:38 jwagner Yay owen!
14:38 owen What am I supposed to do, storm off in a huff? :)
14:38 gmcharlt there would be precedent for that ;)
14:38 jwagner Some of us (cough cough) have been known to do that....
14:39 * chris_n throws xslt out the window
14:40 jwagner chris_n, I hope it was a high window!
14:40 owen :D
14:40 chris_n hehe
14:40 * jdavidb storms off in a huff, just for practice.
14:40 chris_n I figure there is either a bug in the style sheet or in XML::LibXSLT
14:41 but don't have time to a) learn xslt foo and b) debug Koha's xslt foo
14:41 schuster I usually just get a headache from banging my head on the monitor or desk - why won't this work why won't this work...  What am I doing wrong...
14:41 jwagner Which version, and what are you doing? (Still trying for the 505$t?)
14:42 chris_n jwagner: ver: HEAD
14:42 and still trying fro 505$t
14:42 the parsed xml record has the $t subfields formatted exactly as other subfields
14:43 but after the template is applied they magically disappear
14:43 * chris_n mistakenly thought that using xslt would be easier than modifying templates :-P
14:44 jwagner I dunno then -- haven't really looked at HEAD.  Is this for staff or OPAC side, incidentally?
14:44 CGI562 left #koha
14:44 chris_n well, they do not disappear entirely, because the conditional evals true so the "Contents" tag is displayed, just not the subfield data
14:44 OPAC
14:45 but when turned on it appears to affect staff client as well
14:45 * chris_n wonders if it is safe to rebase now?
14:47 gmcharlt chris_n: the branch has stabilized for the moment - hdl_laptop will have some new_acq stuff for me to pull tomorrow, but other than that and bugfixes, HEAD is now 3.2-alpha-candidate
14:47 obviously, practice good Git hygiene and merge into a new branch first before trying to merge in your feature branches
14:48 Colin joined #koha
14:49 chris_n gmcharlt++
14:50 schuster OK so I have a question - if I have a database say 3.0.32(LL release numbers) can I take that database and  load it into 3.0.100?
14:50 kf joined #koha
14:50 kf hi #koha
14:51 Colin gmcharlt: nice to see HEAD above water
14:51 gmcharlt schuster: if LL hasn't made too many changes in the 3.0.x series, it would be worth trying, but *only*, I repeat, *only*, in a test database
14:59 schuster have to get a good backup first!  ok thanks - yes test only!
14:59 owen Uh oh, no Amazon dev key system pref anymore?
15:00 magnus joined #koha
15:00 owen AWSPrivateKey
15:04 Or is it just not listed?
15:04 gmcharlt owen: likely just not listed
15:05 note that admin/systempreferences was *not* removed, so it provides a gateway to more advanced or less common config settings
15:05 owen But the old method for adding a new system pref doesn't work anymore, correct?
15:06 gmcharlt you can still add them, but they won't automatically show up in the new interface
15:11 chris_n gmcharlt: don't they show up under "Local Use" or has that changed?
15:14 gmcharlt chris_n: looking at it, it appears they should

16:08 jwagner owen++ for lots of bug fixes/reports today
16:09 owen Cleaning house!
16:09 jwagner Can you come over to my place???
16:09 owen :P
16:16 Using single-serving git branches + careful bug reporting = much better patch tracking
16:18 slef the word for the day is nyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh
16:18 :)
16:18 jwagner You're having one of those days too, huh?
16:19 slef that, only more so
16:19 one of our members is offlined by broken network kit
16:19 one of our clients is moving their servers and the first we knew was when our monitoring console lit up like a xmas tree

16:46 owen The link to the Bugzilla page?
16:47 schuster can we have bug 3607 recatagorized from enhancement to an actual bug?
16:48 gmcharlt owen: that or the mail archive link
16:50 schuster I'm almost giddy over 3394...  Did that make it into 3.2?

17:03 kf ColinC: the King's Fund library opac looks really nice :)
17:04 owen kf, what's the link?
17:04 kf http://kingsfund.koha-ptfs.eu/
17:06 ColinC Yes. All their own work, we can't take any credit for it
17:06 jwagner Stylesheet changes?
17:07 kf I like the effect of the background pictues
17:07 ColinC Yes, bringing it in line with their other web pages
17:07 Colin left #koha
17:08 jwagner I've putzed a little bit with some stylesheet changes through the syspref.  (background color of toolbar, etc.)Someday I'm going to have to learn how to do a major change.  If owen ever teaches a class, I'll be the first to sign up :-)
17:08 laurence left #koha
17:09 ColinC if Owen teaches a class there will be a stampede to sign up
17:09 kf http://hfjs.bsz-bw.de/
17:09 owen It'd be fun to do a class that was a case-study on a particular customization job
17:09 kf thats our most customized opac so far
17:09 jwagner owen, I have some candidates :-)
17:10 kf, looks nice!
17:11 kf thx :)
17:12 magnus ColinC: lookin' good! what's the "advanced features" link at top right?
17:12 ColinC kf: It's a nice looking site
17:13 kf I tried, but some things are still missing (text and pictueres on start page)
17:13 yes, I wondered about the advanced features too :)
17:15 nengard Woo Hoo!! pianohacker's new sys prefs module is in HEAD!! I love it!!
17:15 I have so much documenting to catch up with now that we have so many new commits
17:15 ColinC advanced features takes you to the user login page
17:16 they are looking to integrate some of their other searches there
17:16 magnus nengard: yours is a never ending task... :-)
17:16 nengard magnus - i know it sounds crazy - but i kind of like it that way - always something to do :)
17:17 magnus ColinC: i see, just curious...
17:17 nengard: we like it that way to - it means koha is moving in the right direction: forward ;-)
17:18 ColinC I think they want to give their registered users access to some electronic resources
17:18 nengard the other thing i have to do now is test all of my bugs and close them
17:18 everyone - remember to do that so that we don't have a bunch of open bugs that are actually fixed
17:18 magnus ColinC: that's an interesting thought
17:19 ColinC: but would being logged in give access to the resources, or would it just display links to resources that are controlled by IP or something similar?
17:20 Ropuch `We're thinking about soemthing similar
17:20 I mean: electronic resources for LAN & logged users outside it
17:21 ColinC It would give access. Possibly to a seach the xxx docs
17:21 magnus cool
17:22 jwagner Having some functionality built into Koha that can check for user login & display links/pages accordingly would be useful, and the bones are already there -- you don't see the Place Hold link until you log in, for instance.
17:23 It would be nice to define that for other elements.
17:23 kf ok, time to go home - bye koha and a nice morning/day/evening :)
17:23 kf left #koha
17:25 jwagner It would also be useful to have some kind of structure where sites could define what they wanted to appear on their masthead, for example, without customizing the masthead.inc file.  A list of entries with links, that the inc file could run through & display based on login status if desired.
17:25 magnus jwagner: any particular elements you are thinkng of?
17:26 jwagner Coming from the Unicorn world, we had the ability to define gateway elements, like predefined searches, links to home page, links to subscription databases, etc.  Depending on the settings in the gateway element, the link would show up without customizing the actual page file.
17:28 Right now in Koha, sites can put things in the OPACNav or block sysprefs, but they only show on the main page.  To get a link to show on every page requires customizing the masthead.inc file.
17:29 magnus ah, i get your point
17:29 jwagner Giving the individual library more control over the display, without the need to customize the code.
17:30 chris_n jwagner: how about a syspref to override the default masthead with a user-supplied one?
17:31 jwagner Maybe not all the masthead (no problem with keeping the search box, etc.) -- just a way to add links to it painlessly.
17:31 owen There is a system pref for specifying a custom include folder
17:31 intranet_includes
17:31 jwagner owen, how would that work?  Am clueless in that area :-)
17:32 owen I've never tested it myself, but as I understand it you specify a custom directory there, and any include file you put there overrides the default one
17:32 jwagner intranet_includes would be just staff client, correct?  No equivalent for OPAC?
17:32 Ah, kind of like the Unicorn pages_custom directory tree.
17:32 owen Oh yeah.. Hm.
17:33 * owen wonders what change the the intranet prompted that preference but not the same in the OPAC
17:34 jwagner Would need to check the code, but I've run into a couple of sysprefs that control both staff & OPAC.  Maybe this is one?
17:35 I might take a look at that, though.  I've customized the masthead for a couple of sites, which is going to cause problems with upgrades.  If I could copy off those custom versions & replace the default one, that would make life easier.
17:38 But I think I'll go have lunch first....

17:41 * owen concludes that the intranet_includes preference is a recipe for disaster
17:42 jwagner_lunch Why so?
17:45 owen I don't know how it's *supposed* to work, but trying it out resulted in *no* includes working correctly
17:53 hdl_laptop jwagner_lunch: owen we could also load custom js files to add custom links rather than changing templates.
17:54 chris_n so what is the difference between that and using the 'themes/opacthemes' preference?
18:06 owen is now known as owen-away
18:08 nicomo left #koha
18:17 jwagner_lunch is now known as jwagner
18:17 jwagner I've never tried the themes setting -- what does it do?
18:20 chris_n jwanger: basically you duplicate everything from, say, koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/prog to koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/foo
18:20 then 'foo' will show up in the select list for 'opacthemes'
18:21 where you can select it and that template set now applies
18:21 the same is true for staff 'themes'
18:24 jwagner Sounds complicated.  You have to duplicate everything, even if you only want to customize a few things?
18:25 chris_n it is the best way currently if you want to do things like mess with masthead.inc
18:25 of course you can run over git and simply deal with merge conflicts by hand when they occur
18:26 jwagner That's what we've been doing -- maintain a branch with the customizations & deal with merge conflicts as needed.
18:26 If there's a better way, I'm all ears :-)

18:43 hdl_laptop chris_n : which  mysql version ?
18:44 Ropuch I have some issues when upgrading from 3.00.5
18:44 hdl_laptop chris_n it is all about USING BTREE
18:44 Ropuch: which ?
18:44 chris_n hdl_laptop: BTREE is not important here, you can remove it if that is the issue
18:45 mysql here is 5.1
18:45 hdl_laptop I can... But I think it SHOULD be remove since that causes issues with mysql5.0
18:45 and i have seen no information about change in mysql version required for Koha.
18:47 chris_n I agree... it was an unintentional mistake due to the fact that I'm running over 5.1
18:48 hdl_laptop chris_n I FULLY understand.
18:49 chris_n I'm glad someone caught it
18:49 hdl_laptop and it is why 3.2 will be ALPHA released soon. and not officially released :D
18:49 i am glad to have caught this.

18:50 finds it interesting that XP Home has an administrator account with no default password
18:51 jwagner XP Home had security holes you could drive a Mack Truck through, if I remember correctly.  I run XP Pro with lots of other security on top.

18:53 jwagner Gee, I dunno....  One of my lifelong (well, at least 20+ years) dreams has been to get Bill Gates in a damp, dark cellar and have a little chat with him.
18:53 hdl_laptop Ropuch you went to 3.2 and not 3.0.5
18:53 hehe
18:54 you should checkout branch 3.0.x and not master branch
18:55 Ropuch hdl_laptop: I as actually testing upgrading from 3.0.5 to master (if only budgets would upgrade without errors, i would switch to 3.2 in no time)
18:56 hdl_laptop you spoke about 3.0.5  not 3.2
18:56 Ropuch I said "when upgrading _from_ 3.00.5"
18:56 Oh, nevermind, simple misurdenstanding [;
18:57 *misunderstanding
18:58 hdl_laptop oh. those errors are quite understandable, since 3.2 got its own updatedatabase and there are duplicate fields
19:00 Ropuch I managed to get rid of duplicates & synatx errors, but other things are beyond my perl/sql understanding

19:04 schuster jwagner - what you and owen were discussing earlier about custom themes that is what we are doing here in plano with Elementary, Middle School, High School pac accounts
19:04 magnus_ i get the USING BTREE error doing a fresh install from head, on mysql 5.0.51a-24+lenny2
19:04 schuster 106.catalog.pisd.edu - elementary 054.catalog.pisd.edu - Middle School - Owen did most of the setup for the templates and we just tweak as we go.
19:05 rhcl joined #koha
19:07 jwagner schuster, so you have replicated the opac-tmpl tree for each one?
19:08 owen schuster's setup is called a "multi-opac" setup, and it's not done with alternate themes, only alternate CSS
19:09 jwagner Oh, yea, I think we talked about this once before.  That's easier to manage.  I'm trying to visualize how the themes setup would work with upgrades -- do you have to upgrade each tree manually?
19:09 chris_n magnus: you need to remove the USING BTREE directives from kohastructure.sql beginning about line 1027 or so
19:09 magnus_ too
19:09 owen Trying to maintain an alternate set of templates is a bitch. I've done, it; I don't recommend it.
19:10 magnus_ is now known as magnus
19:10 magnus thanks, chris_n
19:10 jwagner How did you do the little tabs across the top?  Separate .inc file & just add a call to it into the template?
19:11 owen jwagner: It's all done with the opacheader system pref, but the alternate stylesheets show and hide different sections of the header
19:11 chris_n magnus: I think hdl_laptop is formatting up a patch to remove those directives, so that should go away shortly
19:12 magnus chris_n: sounds like a good idea ;-)
19:12 jwagner owen, neat.  So all the code for the little tabs, plus the labels & links, all goes in the syspref?
19:12 That actually would be a good approach to what I was talking about earlier -- a site-defined list of links to appear on every page.

19:54 francharb left #koha
19:55 thd you could log in with the same nick from multiple locations if you logged in to one remote system from more than one location
19:56 One option would be to use an IRC proxy such as bip
19:56 chris_n as in vpn and remote desktop?
19:56 or?
19:57 magnus thinks chris does something like that
19:57 * chris_n betrays his lack of irc knowledge
19:57 thd I like bip myself
19:57 chris_n and bip is what sort of software/creature/foo?
19:58 thd Unfortunately, my ISP does not provide good remote access to my home system running bip without business level service.
19:58 bip is an IRC proxy
19:58 chris_n ahh... I'll have to take a look sometime
19:59 magnus http://bip.t1r.net/ ?
19:59 thd There is an older IRC proxy but it has not had much development recently
20:00 I adopted bip because the project does not seem to be stagnant
20:01 Ropuch Screen + irssi  is the best irc duet ever ;>
20:02 thd At one time, the Debian package was missing the helpful configuration script.
20:02 Ropuch: you can use irssi or any other client with bip
20:03 bip has much better logging facility than irsssi
