12:48 kf morning owen and jwagner
12:48 braedon|home joined #koha
12:49 chris_n owen: do we use jquery.tablesorter.js for our table sorting?
12:50 good morning as well :)
12:52 owen Hi chris_n, yes we do
12:53 This one: http://tablesorter.com/docs/
12:53 chris_n I just noticed that they have a table pagination addon for that script which might be a nicer way of handling pagination for long tables
12:54 owen Except don't you have to load the contents of all "pages" before you can display it that way?
12:55 chris_n I'm not sure, I just saw the add-on and had the thought
12:55 if it uses some sort of ajax type call back to grab each "page" it would not be too heavy
12:56 owen I you disable javascript and view this page you'll see a giant table: http://tablesorter.com/docs/example-pager.html
12:57 jdavidb left #koha
12:57 kf owen: looks really nice
12:58 chris_n but if I view the page source with js on, I do not see the entire table in the source
12:58 jwagner Question for folks, true or false? "Koha only supports Code 39 barcode symbology for printing scannable barcodes on hold-transfer slips"
12:58 * chris_n is not an initiate in these things, however
12:58 chris_n jwagner: maybe
12:58 jwagner chris_n, nothing like a definitive answer :-)
12:59 chris_n there is support for a number of barcode types in various sections of Koha
12:59 I'm not sure what that section in particular supports
12:59 kf jwagner: I never saw a barcode on a hold slip...
12:59 ?
12:59 jwagner Me either.
13:00 chris_n jwagner: it would probably be trivial to add if it does not
13:00 owen jwagner: Is that a LEK thing?
13:00 chris_n I think both of the barcode modules support nearly all forms of barcode
13:00 kf I was told that the printers can be a problem
13:01 chris_n kf: that might be true
13:01 kf because some slip printers dont produce readable barcodes
13:01 slip printer? whats the right word?
13:01 jwagner owen, not sure
13:06 collum It's mentioned in documentation under itembarcodelength - http://ow.ly/1qJ4s
13:07 llek documentation

14:41 jos left #koha
14:44 nengard joined #koha
14:45 nengard woo hoo - irc not blocked ;)
14:45 jdavidb hi, nengard.
14:45 nengard hiya
14:45 Sharon did you get any sleep at that 'place of healing' nengard?
14:45 nengard no
14:45 well 2 hours
14:45 so no
14:46 at 12am they came in to give me an IV - and then right after that the woman in the bed next to me decided it was time to wake up and talk
14:46 Sharon they tried to give my brother benedryl as a sleep aid and it didn't work, so he didn't sleep and it took longer to get better
14:46 nengard so first she tried to talk to me and then to the nurse
14:46 and finally at 2am they took her away
14:46 so i could sleep
14:46 Sharon lordy!
14:46 wizzyrea are you in the hospital right now?
14:46 nengard and it took another 2 hours to fall asleep with all the beeping and lights
14:46 yes
14:46 wizzyrea poor thing
14:46 nengard they want to keep me another night
14:46 :(
14:46 wizzyrea :( indeed
14:46 nengard i want my bed and my room darkening shades
14:47 and the lack of beeping!!
14:47 Sharon need ear plugs, eye patch thingy and some hard core drugs
14:47 nengard i did put my ipod on eventually
14:47 Sharon I have to have all of that just to sleep in a hotel
14:47 nengard but those eye patch things bug me
14:47 wizzyrea ipod touch? there's an app called naturescape that has sweet nature sounds
14:47 and white noise
14:47 nengard in the hotels i take the towels and stick them in all the crevices that have light :)
14:47 wizzyrea - oooooo - i'll look for that
14:47 Sharon my kind of light sleeper.
14:48 slef nengard: hope you get well soon
14:48 nengard thanks - me too!!
14:48 wizzyrea I bet you're tired of this :/
14:48 nengard now i'm going to try and poke at the manual some - and maybe some bugs cause i'm soo sooo bored
14:48 slef does anyonw know what does MT2116 mean on a commit log?
14:48 anyone
14:48 * wizzyrea has no clue
14:48 nengard i think those are biblibre bug numbers
14:48 the MT ones
14:49 i forget how to find those details though .... brb
14:49 wizzyrea nengard You're like that chick from house a couple of weeks ago
14:49 with the constant running blog of everything
14:49 nengard the blogger?? :)
14:49 slef commit 523735ef6b97944dcbbb882704702028c7373c0e makes little sense to me
14:49 wizzyrea lol yea
14:49 nengard trust me i have left plenty out :) hehe
14:50 wizzyrea lol
14:51 slef I've not had time to read blogs for a couple of weeks. Not looking forward to opening my feedreader.
14:52 nengard most of my updates have been via facebook and twitter
14:52 slef i can't find the link to the biblibre bugs site
14:52 sorry
14:53 but i do think that's what those numbers are - internal bug numbers
14:53 cause i had an issue before with documenting a patch
14:54 slef right... I'll hang around in hope of a biblibre.commer appearing
14:54 or reading their scrollback ;-)
14:55 nengard wizzyrea any little website tweaks that need doing? anything at all ??? :)
14:55 wizzyrea um... we could work on transferring faq questions
14:56 nengard did some of them  -but good idea
14:56 i'll do more
14:56 hdl_laptop slef yes MT is Mantis.
14:56 nengard can anyone edit those? or just the creator? I ask cause some may be out of date
14:56 hdl_laptop our bugtracker.
14:57 slef hdl_laptop: can you tell me what MT2116 was about?
14:57 brb
14:57 wajasu left #koha
14:57 wizzyrea the faq's?
14:57 for now you have to have pretty high level access to edit the faq's
14:58 I was working on the permissions part of it but got pulled off to do something else
14:58 oh, and I don't know if you saw the part about how if you type IRC in a post it will automatically link to the meebo widget

16:25 jfbucas ok, thanks anyway
16:25 brendan left #koha
16:25 slef jfbucas: you could try searching the lists and so on, but I think I've heard it doesn't speak standards.
16:25 brendan joined #koha
16:25 slef jfbucas: Aha http://www.isoxford.com/heritage/marc
16:26 jfbucas: so unless you've bought that, I guess you're locked in. :-(
16:27 jfbucas: even then, it doesn't say if it exports copy information, so you might still have to do a stocktake.
16:27 jfbucas we bought it yes
16:27 CGI456 joined #koha
16:28 jfbucas hum, that's what I'm afraid of
16:28 slef "elements of Heritage cataloguing not present in MARC, such as adding administration dates and linking to associated documents" erm, pretty sure MARC can have those, but I guess it depends exactly what they mean by MARC.
16:29 jfbucas I'm not exactly familiar with MARC or MARC 21
16:30 but I guess that's a standard to describe what can be described for each item of the catalog
16:30 the main problem I have with heritage is that it is not compatible with OpenSource systems
16:31 slef jfbucas: simple test is to export a MARC record and look for copy data in the usual places (tags 852 and 952 IIRC)
16:31 MARC21 = MAchine Readable Cataloguing for the 21st century
16:32 jfbucas ok
16:33 slef Well, we (software.coop) speak about free software more than plain open source, but I know what you mean.
16:33 it doesn't follow open standards
16:33 nengard found something that appears to be blocked
16:33 can't do z39.50 searches from here
16:33 jfbucas I'd just like to be able to get rid of the old Windows server

16:35 francharb joined #koha
16:35 nengard thanks for the tip - will do if i get desperate enough - but i have plenty of other work I can do instead
16:35 slef jfbucas: sounds like a good aim.
16:36 jfbucas :-)
16:37 slef nengard: seriously, connecting to a remote server and doing a search from there might be easier.
16:38 nengard oh i know - but i didn't have to do the search afterall - I found the answer elsewhere - that's all I meant :)
16:38 jfbucas slef: I've managed to export the catalog to some coma separated big text file

17:14 jwagner_away is now known as jwagner
17:14 kf use OPACUserCSS to copy and paste your css directly into the syspref
17:15 if you want to use a separate file you need to store it somewhere where you can access and change it, on your koha server or perhaps somewhere else on the web

17:28 greetings
17:28 nengard left #koha
17:28 sekjal hi, CGI956
17:28 CGI956 hi, sekjal
17:28 i'm a newbie
17:28 total
17:29 sekjal welcome
17:29 CGI956 thank you
17:29 i do need help, i'm rather confused about some things
17:30 sekjal hopefully we can clarify some stuff for you
17:30 CGI956 i've gone through the implementation checklist
17:30 that liblime emailed me
17:31 one thing, how do i "determine your production db's staff client and OPAC urls"?
17:32 (btw, if anyone from liblime's here, please make sure you answer your emails please)
17:32 brendan_ left #koha
17:33 sekjal I wouldn't want to speak to LibLime's intent with that question, but I'd think it would mean what URLs do you want for your OPAC and for your staff client
17:33 for example, catalog.yourlibrary.org and staff.yourlibrary.org
17:33 brendan joined #koha
17:34 CGI956 it seems that i would have to tell koha that
17:34 jwagner CGI956, I'm still getting familiar with Liblime's procedures (I manage implementations for PTFS), but in general we might have an internal server name for the system, and a name that you want it known by to the world.
17:35 As in sekjal's examples, that would be how you want the URL to be, perhaps similar to your other web sites.
17:35 CGI956 yes, indeed
17:35 but i wonder if i have to pay for that extra or what
17:36 jwagner I don't speak to contracts :-) but it should just be a simple matter of a DNS alias.
17:36 CGI956 oh ok
17:36 i wish they would answer my emails, they take a million years
17:37 can i send you guys the url to my opac?
17:37 see what it looks like
17:37 wizzyrea we don't really do support for liblime, unfortunately
17:37 but you can send it :)
17:37 CGI956 yes i mean just to have a look
17:37 i just need to get my bearings as it were
17:37 wizzyrea fair enough
17:37 CGI956 http://ke0025.kohaexpress.com/
17:38 jwagner That's pretty much straight out of the box.  Any ideas on what you'd like it look like?  Other Koha sites that you like?
17:38 wizzyrea hurray
17:39 CGI956 only one example i know is this one http://acpl.kohalibrary.com/
17:39 jdavidb joined #koha
17:40 wizzyrea yep, owen did that

17:40 paul_p left #koha
17:40 CGI956 yep, having gone through the implementation checklist it seems i've only configured the behind-the-scenes stuff such as circulation policies
17:40 wizzyrea owen did most of the design of koha, actually (the UI)
17:40 koha3 anyway
17:41 CGI956 awesome :)
17:41 jwagner owen++
17:41 wizzyrea yep, he's awesome
17:41 CGI956 so how do i go about making changes, say, if i wanted it to look a little like that other page
17:41 wizzyrea hehe, owen I had never realized you have a branch "coolville"
17:42 I want to live there.
17:42 owen Yup, we've really got a Coolville.
17:42 jwagner Better than a Splitsville :-)
17:42 wizzyrea there are lots of tips here

19:03 salk_koha hello?
19:03 wizzyrea that wouldn't be salina kansas would it?
19:03 hi ;)
19:03 oh dear, I just freaked you out
19:03 mib_vdkcno my library is closed weekends and there is no one to check in returned items
19:03 salk_koha no, ok
19:03 wizzyrea ok
19:04 mib_vdkcno so how do i make sure that fines are not calculated for weekends?
19:04 the calendar module doesn't seem to offer that option, does it?
19:05 wizzyrea I think this can be done, but no, I don't think it's in the calendar
19:05 owen mib_vdkcno: Do you have a "finesCalendar" system preference?
19:05 "Specify whether to use the Calendar in calculating duedates and fines"
19:05 One of its settings is "noFinesWhenClosed"
19:06 mib_vdkcno let me check...
19:06 yes yes
19:06 wizzyrea yep, ty that's what I was thinking of owen
19:06 mib_vdkcno but isn't that just to enable the calendar to function
19:07 and in the calendar i have holidays such as christmas, etc
19:07 but how do i do it for saturdays and sundays
19:07 wizzyrea the option is "no fines when closed"
19:07 owen mib_vdkcno: You should specify a repeating holiday for Saturdays and Sundays
19:07 mib_vdkcno aaaaaaah ok
19:07 :-)
19:09 gee, thanks!
19:10 wizzyrea we aim to please
19:10 mib_vdkcno what a great list!

19:14 owen did you see the vid we posted demoing the weird holds business?
19:15 owen I don't think so
19:15 wizzyrea (and if so, is it the same stuff you're seeing)

19:18 owen Naturally charles xavier is at Hiawatha. Everyone knows that.

19:19 what you didn't know was that barack obama was from bern ks
19:20 owen Everyone knows that!
19:21 salk_koha I've got a question about getting/debugging Amazon content... but in exchange for help or just to help my karma I'd also like to contribute a php script I wrote that translates MARC items info from the Koha 2.27  to Koha 3.x standard... Any takers?

19:22 owen wizzyrea: I've never see the "in transit from nobody" thing... At least I've never seen that actual status on an item. I don't know that it hasn't happened.
19:22 salk_koha OK I'll add to contribs
19:22 brendan left #koha
19:22 brendan_ is now known as brendan
19:22 wizzyrea well, it happens when you get two items for the same patron at the same library, but checking one in triggers the next hold
19:23 sekjal wizzyrea:  My initial guess is that priority number that's displayed on the holds confirmation page is being passed directly into the database, instead of recalculated on the fly
19:23 wizzyrea every time we do it we get slightly different (though usually explainable) results
19:23 sekjal and then having multiple, equal priorities is leading to the wirecrossing on checking/transfer
19:23 wizzyrea that's what my thought was sekjal
19:23 jmill2010 left #koha
19:23 wizzyrea no, the priorities get rewritten when the first hold is filled
19:23 they are pretty much auto correcting
19:24 our speculation is that it's a race about what happens when two people mod the same reserve row at the same time
19:24 sekjal left #koha
19:25 wizzyrea some data is written from both requests, but the output display doesn't compensate for that
19:25 oh drat he's gone
19:26 sekjal joined #koha
19:26 wizzyrea sekjal: repeat for you: our speculation is that it's a race about what happens when two people mod the same reserve row at the same time
19:27 the output is showing what's already there, but the submit is actually writing
19:27 and you can have 2 writing at the same time
19:27 the same data on 2 items, or different data on the same item
19:27 brendan left #koha
19:28 brendan joined #koha
19:28 wizzyrea theoretically you should never have the same item in 2 locations at once
19:29 so that condition is, meh
19:29 chris_n unless you invoke the clone method... ;-)
19:29 wizzyrea but writing identical hold fulfillment data on two items = yikes
19:29 * wizzyrea invokes the clone method on an iron skillet and bonks chris_n with it
19:30 wizzyrea drat, it didn't work, I only got the rubber one.
19:30 * chris_n hides under his desk
19:30 wizzyrea :) j/k
19:30 chris_n :)
19:30 wizzyrea I luv u?
19:30 ;)
19:31 chris_n your skillet is probably broken now if the truth were known ;)
19:31 wizzyrea that your head is harder than the hardest steel?
19:32 that sound you hear... that's my mind blowing.
19:32 chris_n weeeell... that depends on who you ask

19:35 wizzyrea excellent :

19:36 salk_koha Now.. can someone help w/Amazon debugging
19:36 I'm not getting anything in the koha_error_log
19:36 and I have my debug level set in the prefs to 2
19:37 I have put in my ID and private key (Secret Password in Amazon lingo) into the prefs.

19:44 wizzyrea I don't recall what your problem was exactly
19:44 ?
19:44 with amazon
19:44 can you elaborate?
19:45 salk_koha well, I don't see any of the cover images in the catalog from amazon
19:45 none of the 'enhanced content' is viewable
19:45 but I have turned on all of the appropriate prefs related to amazon content
19:45 wizzyrea you have all of these prefs set correctly?
19:45 http://screencast.com/t/ZjJiNzQ1Y
19:45 salk_koha standby
19:46 wizzyrea is there a firewall or other content filter blocking amazon access from where the server is?
19:46 that layout may not be similar to what you're looking at but the names are the same, I believe
19:48 http://www.screencast.com/t/NDgyMzU5MjY
19:48 salk_koha yes, the prefs are slightly different since I'm using 3.00.04 but I have all of this set similar and have both the ID and private key ( is this what amazon calls the 'secret access key'?)
19:49 wizzyrea i believe so
19:49 salk_koha I don't have *any* firewall rules in place.

19:54 if youc an surf from your server (theoretically) amazon images should work
19:55 if I had to guess you have a typo or a space in one of your amazon keys
19:55 that got me one
19:55 once
19:55 a space or tab at the end of the key made it not work
19:56 salk_koha ok, ill try that
19:56 do you know of any logs that I can check to see where it's failing?
19:57 wizzyrea I don't, maybe someone else does
19:57 you might try the apache logs

21:28 chris hi hilongo
21:29 hilongo I'm having some problems in my 3.0.6 installation with diacritics and searching ...
21:30 I was wondering if importing my records vis XML would be helpful
21:30 chris ahh you probably want to chat with the french guys, they have solved those, its to do with zebra
21:30 you have to make sure its using dom, and do some other thing i forget
21:30 if/when you find out, let me know and ill add it to the searching FAQ
21:31 hilongo ok ...
21:31 chris lemme do a quick mailing list search
21:32 hilongo if you find nothing .. I'll throw it to the list and wait for some french answer :)

21:33 But I think I have some other problem ...
21:33 chris sort-string-utf.chr?

21:41 wizzyrea jmill that's under circ and fine rules
21:41 hilongo jmill2010: did you look at Circulations rules?
21:41 jmill2010 yes
21:42 also there is nothing there regarding holds
21:42 wizzyrea http://screencast.com/t/YzdkNjQxZ
21:42 that's the circ and fine rules
21:43 jmill2010 apparently i don't have that choice
21:44 wizzyrea what version?
21:44 hilongo I'm with 3.0.6 and I have it ...
21:44 jmill2010 koha express
21:44 by liblime
21:44 :-(
21:45 wizzyrea nah no need to frown
21:46 actually express probably doesn't have that
21:46 would have been developed after the release you are using
21:47 chris jmill2010: you could email ptfs and ask them to upgrade you ?
21:47 wizzyrea and when we ask for version, we want you to go to More -> About Koha
21:47 jmill2010 ok
21:47 i'll check
21:47 wizzyrea that is easier for us to get a handle on than koha express :)
21:47 b/c we don't know what version they're running
21:48 easy enough to ind out though
21:48 find, even
21:48 jmill2010 3.00.02.012
21:48 koha version: 3.00.02.012
21:48 chris ah yeah, thats pretty old
21:49 wizzyrea :/ yea you probably don't have the itype holds stuff
21:49 sorry :(
21:49 jmill2010 ok geez :-)
21:49 it's funny cause i got it only last Friday
21:50 things change pretty fast
21:50 unless liblime's given me a very old version just for kicks
21:50 wizzyrea oh that's old like, a couple of years
21:50 they um, yea they do that
21:50 jmill2010 !!!
21:51 they should be called liblame, shouldn't they
21:51 wizzyrea 2 releases back, anyway
21:51 * wizzyrea did not suggest that you say that
21:51 chris 3.02 was released 3 even
21:51 wizzyrea just for the record
21:51 chris June 4 2009
21:51 3.0.2 was released
21:51 3.0.5 released december 15 2009
21:52 3.0.6 any day now
21:52 wizzyrea oh so not *that* long but still several releases back
21:52 chris about 400 patches ago
21:53 wizzyrea I wouldn't worry too much about it jmill, we are hopeful that ptfs will make their customers happy
21:53 jmill2010 yes
21:53 wizzyrea so if you don't like something, complain
21:53 jmill2010 so am i
21:53 wizzyrea ;)
21:53 jmill2010 thanks, yep!
21:53 * wizzyrea is a habitual complainer ;)
21:53 chris i lie 847 patches ago
21:54 wizzyrea real thorn in their side
21:54 chris http://stats.workbuffer.org/ko[…]sion3.0/tags.html
21:54 wizzyrea ok. 10 mins early, but gonna head out
21:54 * chris is unofficial koha historian
21:54 wizzyrea pff unofficial
21:54 I think you mean "the guy anal enough to keep all the history and records in order"
21:54 ;)
21:54 chris heh
21:54 jmill2010 so hopefully ptfs will provide the latest version
21:55 wizzyrea once it gets released, I imagine they will, yes
21:55 chris yep hopefull they will upgrade to the latest stable
21:55 i expect them to, they seem competent
21:56 jmill2010 i already got in touch with one of them earlier today through this list
21:56 wizzyrea right, jane
21:56 chris cool
21:56 jmill2010 yes, jwagner
21:57 wizzyrea she's super nice
21:57 competent, too
21:57 jmill2010 perfect
21:58 wizzyrea I would recommend at least for now sticking with whatever support contact info they've given you, though. They are totally swamped
21:58 we can help you with some stuff, so if it's minor it doesn't hurt to ask

22:07 jmill2010 yep now that i'm revising my implementation checklist it appears that many of my questions have to do with the fact that I have an old version, which explains the discrepancies between what the manual says and what actually on my koha
