| 00:50 | pianohacker | Good evening |
| 00:51 | chris | hi pianohacker, recovered from the crash? |
| 00:51 | pianohacker | Hi chris |
| 00:52 | No, not yet. Some very odd voodoo going on in that server, but since the backup is running it will have to wait till tuesday | |
| 00:52 | chris | yay for backups |
| 00:52 | http://translate.koha.org/projects/sysprefs/ | |
| 00:52 | sysprefs now translatable, thanks to you and fredericd | |
| 00:53 | pianohacker | Cool! Most of the credit on that to fredericd, glad someone finally put the pieces together :) |
| 01:03 | gmcharlt | braedon|work: yes - that's fine - creating 952s first works well too |

| 07:17 | chris | no worries |
| 07:17 | magnus | nicomo: thanks for dumping me to 103... ;-) |
| 07:17 | chris | heh |
| 07:17 | nicomo | you're welcome :-) |
| 07:25 | laurence joined #koha | |
| 07:32 | htaccess | chris: how do i get your changes on my fork? |
| 07:32 | chris | good question |
| 07:32 | htaccess | heh |
| 07:32 | chris | i pushed them earlier today |
| 07:32 | im not sure how you rebase your fork | |
| 07:32 | or if you merge or what | |
| 07:32 | htaccess | yea, git pull on my fork doesnt pull them in |
| 07:33 | ill look at the docs | |
| 07:33 | chris | i wonder if there is a doc |
| 07:33 | *snap* | |
| 07:33 | htaccess | i asked on #github too |
| 07:33 | 20:18 <@tekkub> add a remote to their repo and pull | |
| 07:33 | 20:18 <@tekkub> http://help.github.com/forking | |
| 07:33 | chris | nicomo: meet htaccess he is a fellow catalysta and is interested in doing some code janitorial work |
| 07:34 | nicomo | hi htaccess |
| 07:34 | francharb joined #koha | |
| 07:34 | chris | htaccess: nicomo is one of the owners of biblibre, the biggest Koha development/support company |
| 07:34 | nicomo | ah ah |
| 07:34 | chris | (biggest in terms of ppl working fulltime on koha) |
| 07:34 | nicomo | there's big and big |
| 07:34 | htaccess | ahh, see "Pulling in upstream changes" |
| 07:34 | chris | and biggest in number of patches :) |
| 07:34 | nicomo | we're 10 people, no Google yet |
| 07:34 | htaccess | nicomo: hi :) |
| 07:34 | nicomo | ;-) |
| 07:36 | chris | ahh that makes sense |
| 07:37 | htaccess: originmaster is the branch that tracks git.koha.org/master | |
| 07:45 | htaccess | hmm |
| 07:45 | CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in docs/history.txt | |
| 07:45 | just merging originmaster | |
| 07:46 | magnus is now known as magnus_breakfas | |
| 07:46 | chris | ah yeah i made some changes there, to fix that conflict, the version from originmaster is right |
| 07:46 | i had 2 ppl at 102 developers, nicomo and magnus actually :) | |
| 07:47 | u'll end up in that file after your patches :) | |
| 07:47 | CGI342 joined #koha | |
| 07:47 | CGI342 | catalogue search is not working but z39.50 search is going well |
| 07:48 | I have koha-3.004_fixed on debian lenny | |
| 07:48 | what should I do | |
| 07:48 | htaccess | chris: so is 'Updated history' the last commit on origionmaster? |
| 07:49 | chris | lemme check |
| 07:50 | htaccess | looks like it |
| 07:50 | http://github.com/ranginui/koh[…]mits/originmaster | |
| 07:51 | is there any particular reason you are not just using master to track git.koha.org/master? | |
| 07:51 | chris | yup |
| 07:51 | Genji left #koha | |
| 07:51 | chris | ahh thats my master, and its a bit butchered at the mo |
| 07:51 | htaccess | kk |
| 07:51 | Genji joined #koha | |
| 07:52 | paul_p joined #koha | |
| 07:52 | htaccess | so would it be easier for you doing merges if i commit to my originmaster branch? |
| 07:52 | chris | yup |
| 07:52 | that would be good | |
| 07:52 | or a branch based on it | |
| 07:53 | htaccess | cool |
| 07:56 | CGI342 | is any one? |
| 07:56 | chris | nicomo: you've seen this http://www.itworld.com/governm[…]lan-moves-forward |
| 07:56 | ? | |
| 07:57 | nicomo | yeah |
| 07:57 | crazy political babble | |
| 07:58 | we sadly get use to it here in France | |
| 07:58 | but having an inefficient government has a nice side-effect : it's going to be 5 years before they put any law into effect, so... | |
| 07:59 | paul_p | hi chris & al |
| 08:00 | nicomo | but still, it's a disturbing instance of demagoguery + ignorance + authoritarianism |

| 08:01 | Kivutar joined #koha | |
| 08:01 | chris | *nod* the scary thing is, others will follow (well australia already has their filter) |
| 08:02 | nicomo | yeah, France and Australia really seem to be in a competition for that price of runner-up to China |
| 08:02 | :-( | |
| 08:02 | chris | its a strange world |
| 08:02 | paul_p | maybe we could plan a massive move to NZ ? ;-) |
| 08:03 | chris | hehe |
| 08:08 | CGI342 | catalogue search is not working but z39.50 search is going wel |

| 08:13 | matts joined #koha | |
| 08:13 | chris | how was breakfast magnus |
| 08:13 | kf joined #koha | |
| 08:13 | magnus | nice enough, thanks |
| 08:13 | kf | good mornign |
| 08:13 | magnus | should keep me going for some hours... |
| 08:13 | hiya kf | |
| 08:14 | chris | hiya kf |
| 08:14 | kf | chris: I saw the translation updates - any news about my button problem? |
| 08:15 | chris | haven't been able to figure out whats up |
| 08:15 | ill figure it out though :) | |
| 08:19 | htaccess | hmm, im tempted to just do a oneliner to do s/use strict;/use strict;\n#use warnings; FIXME - Bug 2505/ and then review it carefully vs editing all the files by hand |
| 08:19 | munin | 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=2505 major, P3, ---, gmcharlt gmail.com, NEW, enable Perl warnings in all modules and scripts |
| 08:22 | chris | i think that's safe enough, as the worst that can happen is a double up of use warnings, with one being a comment |

| 08:28 | hdl_laptop | hi chris |
| 08:34 | kf | chris: thx (was afk, fighting for a birthday muffin in the kitchen) |
| 08:35 | chris | hehe |
| 08:36 | htaccess | theres a few missing use strict too |
| 08:36 | chris | right, those should definitely be fixed |
| 08:36 | htaccess | yea, but ill do it as a seperate commit |
| 08:37 | chris | sounds good |
| 08:43 | htaccess | ill make a bug for it too (if there isnt one already), can anyone create bugs on buzilla? |
| 08:45 | kf | htaccess: yes, but I think you need to register first |
| 08:58 | Amit_G joined #koha | |
| 09:15 | Genji joined #koha | |
| 09:16 | kf | can someone help me with bug 4226? |
| 09:16 | munin | 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4226 normal, PATCH-Sent, ---, gmcharltgmail.com, NEW, bulkmarcimport.pl doesn't replace 001 when keepids is not specified |
| 09:17 | kf | Im not sure I understand what Brian is suggesting |
| 09:19 | chris | gah, marc makes my brain hurt |
| 09:20 | i cant really parse that either | |
| 09:34 | nicomo | kf: when you import an auth record |
| 09:34 | it comes with it's own ID in 001 | |
| 09:35 | but Koha needs to have it's own ID in the DB and links it to 001 | |
| 09:35 | so one way to do that is to try to reuse the incoming 001 as the koha authid | |
| 09:36 | but that's dangerous, I guess is what he's saying | |
| 09:36 | the number might not be unique | |
| 09:36 | koha expects an integer and it might not be | |
| 09:36 | etc. | |
| 09:37 | that's what I gather from the bug report at least | |
| 09:38 | in UNIMARC we would use the -keepids option and push the original to 009 or 035 and let Koha generate it's own authid in 035 | |
| 09:38 | original 001 to 009; new authid created by Koha in 001 | |
| 09:39 | I think (not sure) that what Brian is missing is that possibility to keepids, but move them | |
| 09:40 | Genji left #koha | |
| 09:40 | kf | nicomo: sorry, a colleague came to ask me something - reading back now |
| 09:43 | slef | just sent version control tag snapshots of koha 2.0.1 and 2.0.2 to chris. Is anyone here with access to download.koha.org? |
| 09:43 | kf | nicomo: we get all our data from our union catalog - the id numbers are in bibiographic and authority data, so just moving around would still make problems - the authid in bibliographic must match the authority id |
| 09:44 | nicomo: I was not sure, if his suggestion will break it | |
| 09:45 | nicomo | I have to say I don't see the need for the change mentionned |
| 09:45 | unless I'm missing something myself | |
| 09:45 | and yes, it might break it | |
| 09:45 | as far as I can tell | |
| 09:45 | kf | ok |
| 09:46 | I came to this conclusion too - but was not sure | |
| 09:46 | nicomo | In a similar situation what we've done is: |
| 09:46 | keepid 035 | |
| 09:46 | kf | migration might be not the problem, but cataloging is done in the union catalog and we import data every night |
| 09:46 | nicomo | kf: yes, we have that too |
| 09:46 | kf | ah, right |
| 09:46 | nicomo | and still move the id |
| 09:46 | kf | which number do u use as authnumber then? |
| 09:47 | nicomo | bulkmarcimport returns a list of authids with the corresponding original ids |
| 09:47 | authid:keptid | |
| 09:47 | * chris | goes to bed |
| 09:47 | chris | night all |
| 09:47 | nicomo | bye chris |
| 09:48 | kf | good night chris |
| 09:48 | Amit_G left #koha | |
| 09:48 | nicomo | kf: we then use the authid to write it in the biblio record and make the link |
| 09:48 | kf | and you replace the numbers in bibliographic data with koha ids? |
| 09:48 | nicomo | yes |
| 09:48 | that way we can both: have the original ids somewhere in both biblio and auth records | |
| 09:48 | kf | sounds complicated |
| 09:49 | nicomo | and at the same time use the "native" koha link to the authid |
| 09:49 | it does sound complicated | |
| 09:49 | but then Brian's problem is a real one | |
| 09:49 | what if the original ID is not an integer? | |
| 09:49 | kf | we have that g |
| 09:50 | Amit joined #koha | |
| 09:50 | kf | 9 characters and the last can be X |
| 09:50 | nicomo | is it 0-padded on the left? |
| 09:51 | I should say: left-added with zeros? | |
| 09:51 | kf | I think not, or perhaps I have never seen numbers that low: 160247667 is an example |
| 09:51 | nicomo | this one would work |
| 09:51 | but 00000123X would not | |
| 09:52 | and even with 160247667 | |
| 09:52 | kf | the last charater is a check digit, so we delete it in bibliographic data and use the 8digit form as authid |
| 09:52 | nicomo | if you want to create a local authority, it will try to create 160247667+1 |
| 09:52 | which might later conflict with an incoming record | |
| 09:53 | kf | yes, that would be a problem, but they are not allowed to |
| 09:53 | your solution is better | |
| 09:53 | nicomo | so anyway we felt we had to do something a bit more complicated, but "cleaner" in the long run |
| 09:53 | kf | is it included in cronjobs or doesi t need extra work? |
| 09:54 | nicomo | you mean is it entirely automated? |
| 09:54 | kf | yes, sorry |
| 09:54 | nicomo | no problem: yes it is |
| 09:54 | we have a script which takes the authorities 1st | |
| 09:55 | gets a yaml file with authid XXX = original ID = YYYY | |
| 09:55 | goes through the biblios with that | |
| 09:55 | and creates / modifies local records accordingly | |
| 09:56 | kf | ah ok, will this be part of 3.2? |
| 09:56 | nicomo | not that I know of |
| 09:56 | maybe 3.4 | |
| 09:56 | but I'm not even sure because it's not really a part of Koha | |
| 09:57 | it's "massaging" of marc files | |
| 09:57 | kf | yes, but it would help people in 'union catalog environments' |
| 09:57 | nicomo | and it's pretty tailored to the use of the French Union Catalog |
| 09:57 | it's already available actually | |
| 09:57 | just not in Koha | |
| 09:58 | http://git.biblibre.com/cgi-bi[…]p=sudoc;a=summary | |
| 09:58 | I guess one could start from that and adapt it to further Union Catalog environments | |
| 09:58 | kf | its pica? |
| 09:58 | nicomo | more or less |
| 09:59 | with some modifications for the french market | |
| 09:59 | but the basis system used is PICA, that's correct | |
| 09:59 | kf | I just asked because i see a PPN there :) |
| 09:59 | nicomo | eheh, yes |
| 10:00 | we've all become bilingual human / pica | |
| 10:00 | kf | I think the bigger problem might be the import format, so when koha changes we will need to write our own script to do the changes |
| 10:00 | nicomo | not sure |
| 10:01 | the approach we took was basically to do all the required work on data outside of koha | |
| 10:01 | then use the standard addbiblio | |
| 10:01 | modbiblio | |
| 10:01 | etc | |
| 10:02 | kf: I added a comment on Brian's bug page | |
| 10:03 | kf | I just read it |
| 10:04 | I m trying to describe our problem right now | |
| 10:04 | not sure it will be understandable | |
| 10:04 | nicomo | kf: and PPNs are left-padded with 0000 |
| 10:04 | Genji joined #koha | |
| 10:04 | kf | ah, so I never saw a small number :) |
| 10:04 | might be because our union catalog migrated from another software some years ago | |
| 10:05 | thx for discussing this with me, nicomo :) | |
| 10:05 | nicomo | you're welcome |
| 10:06 | I'd be interested in exchanging information about the way we both manage the PICA union systems | |
| 10:06 | and their interactions with Koha locally though | |
| 10:08 | kf | sure |
| 10:08 | but I think there is not so much interaction right now | |
| 10:09 | we do the nightly imports for new and changed data and the library can download data with z39.50 after cataloging | |
| 10:09 | I tell them to add the PPN to fast adds after cataloging in union catalog is done - so not much real interaction here | |

| 10:42 | gmcharlt | kf: nicomo: now that MARC21 supports $0 in headings fields to link a heading back to an authority, it will get even more complicate |
| 10:44 | slef: nobody here has direct access to download.koha.org, but thus far cfouts has been responsive to requests to put files up | |
| 10:51 | kf | gmcharlt: yes, and $0 is repeatable, we move 'our' $0 to $9 |
| 10:52 | slef | @seen cfouts |
| 10:52 | munin | slef: I have not seen cfouts. |
| 10:53 | gmcharlt | kf: yeah - I think we'd be better off if Koha didn't rely on storing the heading-to-auth link in the MARC record |
| 10:53 | htaccess | grrr merge conflicts :( |
| 10:53 | gmcharlt | slef: you'll have to email him directly - cfoutsliblime.com |
| 10:53 | and kept the linkage info out of band | |
| 10:53 | using the $0 or the equivalent only for record import and export | |
| 10:54 | kf | better support for $0 would be nice, but our current solution works fine - I just dont want someone to break it :) |
| 10:55 | Amit | heya galen, kf, slef |
| 10:55 | kf | we also delete (DE-576), source of authority number, because it does not work with zebra |
| 10:55 | hi Amit | |
| 10:57 | htaccess | um could someone tell me which are the correct bits in these two files: http://paste.dollyfish.net.nz/5af2bc |
| 10:57 | i have a merge confilct rebasing | |
| 11:00 | gmcharlt | htaccess: I don't recognize the GetMemberRevisions bit - is that a local development you're working on? |
| 11:01 | htaccess | its from chrises origionmaster which it tracking git.koha master afaik |
| 11:03 | http://github.com/ranginui/koh[…]ter/C4/Members.pm | |
| 11:03 | looks like the top one for Members.pm | |
| 11:06 | and the tmpl one | |
| 11:08 | gmcharlt | right - the issue isn't necessarily with the repo you're rebasing from |
| 11:08 | but that you have patches in your tree that didn't come from the main HEAD (or originnmaster in your case) | |
| 11:09 | if you can abort the rebase | |
| 11:09 | htaccess | well i just did a continue after fixing those |
| 11:09 | and now i got more conflicts | |
| 11:10 | i think its stuff from chrises master | |
| 11:10 | gmcharlt | do a git log in your local repo - I'm curious what it says about the Revision History tab patch |
| 11:11 | ah, OK, I see the patch in chris' master branch | |
| 11:11 | htaccess | http://paste.dollyfish.net.nz/04b3fb |
| 11:12 | i just committed a big patch to this branch tho, i though i had merged it properly before i started | |
| 11:13 | gmcharlt | anyway, it looks like your topic branch was based on chris' master branch, but you tried rebasing against originmaster |
| 11:14 | htaccess | yea i tried rebasing against originmaster |
| 11:14 | tekonivel | hello all |
| 11:15 | i'm translating Koha to finnish (language of Finland :) | |
| 11:15 | i would like to hear what is your favourite way to test the translation | |
| 11:16 | perhaps we should define a new pseudo-language in the interface, and use our translation-in-progres .po -file for that | |
| 11:16 | kf | tekonivel: are u using pootle for translation? |
| 11:16 | tekonivel | yeah, pootle indeed |
| 11:16 | on Koha site | |
| 11:17 | htaccess | oh well, its either merge hell or throw away a huge patch i spent the evening on ... |
| 11:17 | tekonivel | i thought i could download the .po -file with wget, and assign it to a language, say fi_FI-test, and then iterate thought testing, translating and wgetting |
| 11:17 | * htaccess | goes to bed |
| 11:17 | kf | not sure I understand your problem, we have a test installation where we update translation with files from pootle after I changed things. |
| 11:18 | tekonivel | kf: you're not using a live system while testing the translatin, are you |
| 11:18 | kf | where is the advantage of a pseudo language to the normal language code? |
| 11:18 | tekonivel | kf: then users won't get all confused when the interfaces keeps changing all the time |
| 11:18 | kf | no, our test installation, but we had no problems so far |
| 11:18 | tekonivel | to isolate users, basically |
| 11:19 | kf: what method are you using to update the translation, from Pootle to your Koha. wget or something similar? or is there a proper tool for this? | |
| 11:19 | that i should be aware of | |
| 11:20 | hmm, testing the translation with a live system might yield some user feedback | |
| 11:20 | kf | my colleague does the updates, but I think he uses wget |
| 11:20 | tekonivel | kf: ok, thanks |
| 11:21 | we're only translated 25% of the OPAC at this time, so no tests are beginning yet | |
| 11:21 | kf | tekonivel: chris hat a koha installation for translation some time ago - perhaps ask him how he kept it up to date |
| 11:21 | tekonivel | but i was wondering if there's a standard procedure for this |
| 11:25 | kf: ok thanks, this straightened my thought quite a bit | |
| 11:25 | kf: which language are u translating, by the way? | |
| 11:25 | kf | German |
| 11:26 | tekonivel | kf: genau :) |
| 11:26 | kf | be warned: translation is a neverending process |
| 11:27 | tekonivel | kf: i didn't want to hear that :) |
| 11:27 | kf | something is changed, you find new typos, terms got translated differently at different places... |
| 11:28 | neverneverneverending ;) | |
| 11:28 | tekonivel | luckily we've got a fairly standard library-lingo up here in Finland |
| 11:29 | it's so much easier to update translation of Koha that some proprietary system, because we can do the modifications ourselves | |
| 11:29 | kf | yes it is :) |
| 11:31 | tekonivel | instad of waiting for a year for a comma to be replaced |
| 11:33 | anyhow, a few libraries are interested in Koha up here in Finland, and we're translating the OPAC as a centralized effort on behalf of Kirjastot.fi (it's all a bit complicated to explain how we're organized9 | |
| 11:34 | we even have a handful of libraries using Koha in their everyday operations, though no public libraries at the moment | |
| 11:39 | kf | :) |
| 11:46 | tekonivel | we're are possibly facing a very unconvenient situation, where one company (Axiell) has full market dominance in public library systems. we're now translating koha to feed discussion and hopefully also dynamics on the marketplace |
| 11:49 | gmcharlt | tekonivel++ |
| 11:50 | kf | tekonivel++ |
| 11:51 | gmcharlt | when I was at Endeavor, I worked a bit with the LINNEA consortium and their Voyager setup |
| 11:51 | tekonivel | awwwww |
| 11:51 | gmcharlt | I happy to see that some libraries there are looking at Koha |
| 11:52 | tekonivel | gmcharlt: yeah the situation is kind of odd here at the moment |
| 11:52 | Axiell bought all the library systems on the market | |
| 11:53 | so now they basically have a monopoly in defining what kinds of library services 4.5 million finnish taxpayers can get | |
| 11:53 | in the helsinki region (about 1 million ppl) we're using Innovative Millenium | |
| 11:55 | i'm talking about public libraries here... academic and other sorts of libraries are a world of theeir own | |
| 11:57 | slef | tekonivel: as I understand it, it's unusual in global sense for any library management system to be dominant in a country/sector market, but I think it happens more often in your part of the world and I'm not sure why. |
| 11:57 | (software.coop sold Koha to a client in Sweden a few years ago and it was very tough) | |
| 11:58 | tekonivel | yeah... :( it's a small market up here and libraries tend to choose what the neighbour has too |
| 11:59 | earlier we had the market basically divided between ATP and Tieto, (after a few merges), but nowadays it's just Axiell alone (plus Innovative in Helsinki region, like mentioned | |
| 11:59 | magnus | norway is a bit different, we have a mix of systems in public libraries |
| 11:59 | tekonivel | magnus: you've got Axiell there too, don't you? |
| 12:00 | magnus | not much, we have norwegian systems |
| 12:00 | tekonivel | ah ok |
| 12:00 | magnus | Bibliofil, Mikromarc, Tidemann and some Aleph in the public libraries |
| 12:00 | slef | Is that because of the languages, or other factors? |
| 12:00 | Amit left #koha | |
| 12:00 | tekonivel | have you any idea if Axiell has been looking at your market at all? here it was a bit of a surprise... they came from nowhere and acquired all of Finland, basically |
| 12:01 | magnus | i think language is a part of it, yeah |
| 12:01 | tekonivel | slef: that's one thing definetely |
| 12:01 | slef | I have heard from Welsh libraries that they have had to translate Engish systems (often a legal requirement) and pay for the privilege of doing so. |
| 12:01 | bankhead left #koha | |
| 12:01 | magnus | and i think norwegian libraries have some notion of being special and not able to use what others are using... |
| 12:03 | tekonivel | magnus: lol that sounds so familiar... |
| 12:03 | magnus | we are going to have out big, national library conference in about a month, and Axiell is actually not among the exhibitors - maybe too busy in Finland... ;-) but koha will be there! ;-) |

| 12:04 | slef | English is an evil language. |
| 12:04 | tekonivel | magnus: awesome :) |
| 12:05 | magnus: have you been keeping an eye on danish projects, like Summa and TING? | |
| 12:05 | magnus | tekonivel: yeah, a bit, from a distance - they are doing some very interesting things |
| 12:06 | kf | lunch time, bbl |
| 12:06 | tekonivel | magnus: great. i'm sure they'd be willing to cooperate |
| 12:06 | Genji left #koha | |
| 12:09 | magnus | tekonivel: there is going to be some cooperation around the swedish project Öppna bibliotek (sharing of user-generated data) this year, we just got the grant to do it |
| 12:11 | tekonivel | magnus: fscking a!! great, go for it! |
| 12:11 | magnus: i wish we had something like that too. | |
| 12:12 | i want to join you guys :) | |
| 12:12 | have you had chats with Teknikhuset and their CS Library? | |
| 12:12 | magnus | tekonivel: you are probably very welcome! there will be a conference/hackfest around it, probably after the summer |
| 12:13 | tekonivel: no, i have heard about them, nut not been in contact | |
| 12:13 | s/nut/but/ | |
| 12:14 | tekonivel | magnus: ok, their products seems quite well thought. only in the discovery layer -arena though |
| 12:14 | nengard joined #koha | |
| 12:14 | tekonivel | it's works with Koha too :) |
| 12:15 | or so they claim... i haven't seen that in action | |
| 12:15 | magnus | they have a discovery layer that works with koha? |
| 12:15 | tekonivel | magnus: yeah, so they claim |
| 12:15 | magnus | ok |
| 12:15 | tekonivel | but other dicovery layers are Koha compatible too, like SOPAC |
| 12:16 | magnus | yeah, when you have an open system like koha that supports lots of protocols it shouldn't be too hard... ;-) |
| 12:17 | tekonivel | magnus: yeah, but there's no proper, standard way for ILS<->OPAC interaction, so screenscraping and reindexing needs to be done, with backlinks for functions like placing holds |
| 12:18 | but yeah, so much easier if you can pop the hood of the ILS and take a look what happens underneath | |

| 14:05 | chris_n | g'morning |
| 14:05 | any thoughts on what might cause a new item not to be indexed in zebra even though the entry in zebraqueue is marked as done? | |

| 14:07 | rebuild_zebra.pl has been running with no errors every 20 minutes | |
| 14:07 | hdl_laptop | some changes in record.abs ? |
| 14:07 | a space attack | |

| 17:12 | tekonivel | owen: ok no worries. i'm going through the answers of our 23 things -cource in the meanwhile :) |
| 17:13 | owen | ebegin: http://pipes.yahoo.com/nengard/kohablogs |
| 17:13 | ebegin | Asking the question because the links always point to the diff pages, not the page themself, ex: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?[…]266856895&do=diff |
| 17:14 | owen | ebegin: I agree that is annoying, but I think it may be a limitation of the wiki software in terms of what kind of RSS it generates |
| 17:15 | gmcharlt | ebegin: yes - I think it's something nengard set up that's pulling from a couple RSS feeds |
| 17:15 | nengard | I didn't like it either until chris pointed out that the page it points to at least shows us what's changed |
| 17:15 | gmcharlt | never mind |
| 17:16 | nengard | own and gmcharlt are right - I having it pull any Koha specific rss I can find |
| 17:16 | gmcharlt | owen answered that :) |
| 17:17 | ebegin | nengard, in my opiniion, someone clicking on the link through twitter would expect to get the content. Make sense? |
| 17:17 | nengard | it does |
| 17:17 | but i can't do anything about it | |
| 17:17 | tha's the wiki RSS feed - so unless that changes.... | |
| 17:17 | ebegin | Was that a limitation of wiki? |
| 17:18 | nengard | don't know if it's a limitation ... it's just the way the rss is generated ... don't knwo if we can change it |
| 17:18 | owen | Is the wiki hosted by LibLime? |
| 17:18 | ebegin | ok. You can add some string manipulation on the feed within Yahoo Pipes to get rid of "&do=diff" at the end |

| 17:20 | gmcharlt | owen: yes |
| 17:20 | nengard | i think we should just leave it and those who don't like it can click on the page link at the top to see the full page |
| 17:20 | owen | But gmcharlt, if you want to see the diffs couldn't you use the RSS feed? |

| 19:27 | We never understood what it was for :) | |
| 19:27 | schuster | I need someone to test adding a patron for me and tell me if the memberentry.pl is missing first name on the form. I have Surname and other name only. |
| 19:28 | This is a git pull from ?? Last night? | |
| 19:29 | owen | I see first name. |
| 19:29 | gmcharlt | as do I |

| 19:29 | schuster | This is a fresh install nothing ever on this computer other than windows before Debian took over. |
| 19:30 | 3.01.00.124 - is that what you all have? | |
| 19:30 | owen | Yes |
| 19:30 | schuster | very odd... |
| 19:31 | This is for a "NEW" patron not an existing one. | |
| 19:31 | owen | What category patron schuster? |
| 19:31 | schuster | Oh ... I selected library... |
| 19:32 | Didn't think about categories asking for different things. | |
| 19:32 | gmcharlt | yeah - theory is that institutional patrons don't have first names |
| 19:33 | schuster | That explains it then... |
| 19:33 | owen | ...but shouldn't there just be one "name" field, labelled "name?" |
| 19:34 | gmcharlt | yeah, that would make more sense than "surname" |

| 19:52 | owen | Lots of great enhancements coming up from PTFS! |
| 19:52 | (and Middletown Township Public Library) | |
| 19:52 | chris | oh yeah? |
| 19:52 | awesome | |
| 19:53 | owen | new stuff in Bugzilla at least |
| 19:53 | jwagner | owen, I'm finally getting around to creating the bugzilla entries for the last dozen or so that I didn't do earlier. Some of them I think are going to be VERY well received. |
| 19:53 | chris | sweet |
| 19:53 | owen | jwagner: I'd love to hear how you implemented Bug 4238. We've talked about that one before but no one ever followed through |
| 19:53 | munin | 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4238 enhancement, P5, ---, kohaprogrammersptfs.com, ASSIGNED, OPAC timeout feature for patron privacy |
| 19:53 | jwagner | I'm particularly interested in what people think of Bug 4237 |
| 19:54 | munin | 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4237 enhancement, P5, ---, kohaprogrammersptfs.com, ASSIGNED, Add other item statuses |
| 19:54 | jwagner | owen, I don't know specifics on the code without looking, but it's a simple timeout -- no activity for X seconds and it goes back to OPAC main page (and does a logout if someone is logged in). |
| 19:55 | chris | that will be handy, actually both will :) |
| 19:55 | * chris | looks forward to committing the patches to 3.4 |
| 19:55 | owen | jwagner: Do you know if it clear the Cart? |
| 19:56 | jwagner | Good question. I'd have to set up a test & see. |
| 19:57 | laurence joined #koha | |
| 19:57 | owen | Bug 4239! |
| 19:57 | munin | 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4239 enhancement, P5, ---, kohaprogrammersptfs.com, ASSIGNED, Allow holds on multiple items of selected titles |
| 19:58 | jwagner | owen, that's the one I was talking to you about a couple of weeks ago, that might be extended to what you were wanting. |
| 19:58 | (only allow holds on certain item types, wasn't it?) | |
| 19:58 | * owen | wonders if he asked for a pony |
| 19:58 | chris | wow that will be awseome |
| 19:59 | if that gets done we are back at 1.03 ;-) | |
| 19:59 | HLT will be super happy | |
| 19:59 | cait | our library too |
| 19:59 | owen | the bug report says it works per-itemtype. I'd love to see the option of alternatively doing it per-ccode |
| 19:59 | Poor HLT, the wide world got ahold of their software and junked it up something good ;) | |
| 20:00 | chris | hehe, they got plenty back in return |
| 20:00 | but it is nice features they used to love are coming back | |
| 20:01 | as well as all the new ones they also love | |
| 20:02 | jwagner | owen, yes I think you also asked for a pony during that conversation. However, none of our clients have sponsored pony functionality. Therefore, you're on your own for that one :-) |
| 20:03 | cait | lol |
| 20:03 | owen | jwagner: I barely recall our previous conversation. |
| 20:03 | I do wonder about the example you cite in the bug report: a multiple-volume DVD. | |
| 20:03 | jwagner | Like one title for Lost, with items attached for Season One, Season Two, etc. |
| 20:04 | owen | Setting the rule to apply to your "DVD" item type will allow multi-item holds on all DVDs. Does that mean they intend to create a separate itemtype for multi-volume DVDs? |
| 20:04 | jwagner | I'm not sure it's come up as a problem so far. I think they're allowing it on all DVDs. If it were a problem, then yes, they'd have to create a separate item type. |
| 20:06 | * owen | wonders how difficult it would be to modify the feature to accept ccodes... |
| 20:06 | cait | I think its useful for serials |
| 20:06 | owen | Definitely useful for serials. |
| 20:06 | If we get this enhancement it will enable us to actually use Koha's serials management. | |
| 20:08 | cait | :) |
| 20:08 | bug 4240 | |
| 20:08 | munin | 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4240 enhancement, P5, ---, kohaprogrammersptfs.com, ASSIGNED, Add a "did you mean" spell checker to the OPAC |
| 20:09 | jwagner | owen, I don't know. Shouldn't be too hard -- maybe set up a different syspref & copy the code we did for item types? |
| 20:09 | cait | nice! |
| 20:10 | collum | :) |
| 20:10 | For all of the enhancements. | |
| 20:10 | laurence left #koha | |
| 20:11 | collum | Another variation of holds would be to tie bibs together. Multiple bibs satisfying one hold. In other words, I don't care if I get the large type or regular type. |
| 20:12 | owen | That's Koha version 1 isn't it chris? :) |
| 20:13 | gmcharlt | yeah, it had a concept of meta-bibs |
| 20:13 | Nate left #koha | |
| 20:14 | chris | yeah id love to get that back, maybe at a level above marc .. rather than between biblio and item like it used to be |

| 20:31 | jwagner | Yes. It should be the total count of all holds on the title. |

| 20:32 | jwagner | It sounded like it, from the description. Yet another one to reconcile :-( |

| 20:37 | chris | :) |
| 20:37 | jwagner | If you want to privately lurk, you need a disguised nickname :-) |
| 20:37 | Genji | hello all. in regard to subject indexing.. i used "scan @attr 4=21 @attr 4=1 @attr 6=3 <term last returned>" to get the subject list.... my client comments "I noticed that all the subjects consist of one word. in fact, most of our subjects are phrases (two or more words)." why is this? |
| 20:37 | chris | gmcharlt: another blocker bites the dust :-) |
| 20:37 | gmcharlt | hi Amy! |
| 20:37 | cool | |
| 20:38 | Genji: artifact of the index setup | |
| 20:39 | Genji | gmcharlt: hmm.... the index for subject goes 'subject, subject:p' |
| 20:40 | gmcharlt | it is possible to construct phrase indexes, although they currently don't span subfield boundaries |
| 20:40 | @attr 4=21 ? did you mean @attr 1=21 ? | |
| 20:40 | munin | gmcharlt: Error: "attr" is not a valid command. |
| 20:41 | gmcharlt | munin: be quiet |
| 20:41 | munin | gmcharlt: Error: "be" is not a valid command. |
| 20:41 | Genji | hmm... the subject is just stored in one marc field. its not even in a subfield. and yes, i ment 1=21. |
| 20:42 | so, how do i tell scan to return the phrase indexed items instead of the word list? | |
| 20:43 | Or do i need to remove the first 'subject' from the marc def? | |
| 20:43 | wizzyrea | munin is having an existential crisis |

| 22:31 | OCLC get more greedy every year | |
