00:00 chris again, no idea with your koha, havent seen it happen on master though
00:00 genji1 man, its annoying, being out of sync with everyone else.
00:02 nod genji1: grep is your friend: grep -Rl GetUsedMarcStructure *
00:13 collum joined #koha
00:16 chris heya collum
00:17 nod, collum has also done tons of bug2505 work
00:19 genji1 bug 2505
00:19 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
00:21 collum hey chris
00:21 mason joined #koha
00:23 owen joined #koha
00:23 nod hey collum
00:23 collum hi all
00:23 nod for bug 2505 you should be able to grep for 2505 and see lots of stuff to fix :)
00:24 chris when the patches get pushed that is :)
00:24 hiya owen
00:25 collum yep.  Files without warnings can be found by using grep -L warnings
00:25 owen Hi chris
00:25 collum assuming warnings have not been commented out.
00:25 owen thanks for the offer of help on the statistics yesterday. I think I figured out where all of the discrepanices came from
00:25 chris excellent
00:26 owen NPL's deleteditems table was not getting populated for a period of time
00:27 Our statistical reports will all have to have a column for "unknown branch" and "unknown ccode" :|
00:28 chris ahhhh :(
00:29 owen But that's better than not having a count for those circs at all. The way I had been aggregating the data before I was missing circs for stuff that had been deleted
00:29 chris ahh using a straight join, instead of a left?
00:30 owen that's the trouble... I'm not good at choosing joins
00:45 owen left #koha

01:51 chris_n g'night #koha
01:52 chris night chris_n
02:11 genji1 is there a javascript way of subfieldid = find id "773_a_*"?
02:12 since subfields have random elements in their name.. how do you refer to their id's, if you don't know what the random element is?
02:13 i suspect, my taking away of the random numbers in the 773 fields, in order for other javascript to function, could be causing the repeated tag...
02:37 ah hell. found the problem
02:37 how do you delete a repeated subfield from all records?

06:48 answering to koha@ and kelly sherman atm (Just to say the same things as others)
06:49 (I got the mail too)
06:49 chris http://www.stuff.co.nz/nationa[…]gton-after-outage
06:49 we had an interestng day
06:49 ah yeah, that was an interesting start to the day
07:07 paul_p chris, some available for some technical discussion ?
07:07 do you know dancer ?
07:07 kf joined #koha
07:08 kf good morning
07:08 paul_p http://www.perldancer.org/
07:08 hi kf
07:08 chris the framework?
07:08 only briefly
07:08 ive never tested it out
07:08 kf hi paul_p and chris
07:09 chris hiya kf
07:09 paul_p some ppl at BibLibre thinks it could be a good tool to use in Koha.
07:09 chris i think you could write somethng like ils-di
07:09 in it pretty easily
07:09 paul_p same thing for http://plackperl.org/ too
07:09 alex_a joined #koha
07:09 paul_p chris, yep, ils-di with dancer would be easier.
07:09 chris my answer to most of those things is, do a prototype and see how it works
07:10 so with dancer, id pick somethign we would like a nice restful interface for
07:10 francharb left #koha
07:10 chris and have a go at writng it
07:10 paul_p (what's nice with dancer is that it is compatible with TT)
07:10 chris *nod*
07:11 francharb joined #koha
07:12 Kivutar joined #koha
07:12 chris what might be nice
07:12 is a dancer app, with nginx in front
07:12 genji joined #koha
07:12 paul_p chris: in 2 weeks (may 3-7), everynoe at BibLibre has a "coderun". We try to have 2 every year, where everybody is in the same physical place. One of our goal for this meeting is to try some nice new technologies we could use for Koha (like dancer, plack, mojo, catalyst, CGI::Fast, DBIx::Class,...)
07:12 chris nginx to serve the static content and proxy to dancer
07:13 i had nginx and fastcgi going with perl
07:13 sorry with the opac
07:13 paul_p chris, another goal is to do some load tests of koha 3.2, find & solve as many perf limits as possible. Because there are a lot of optimisations that can be done.
07:14 chris yes, thats the major plan for 3.4
07:14 speed
07:14 ok gotta put the kids to bed bbab
07:14 paul_p chris: my feeling is that it won't be called 3.4, but 4.0 !
07:16 magnus joined #koha
07:17 genji1 left #koha
07:47 magnus wow, ptfs makes a move and slips...
07:51 Ekel joined #koha
07:56 kf yes
07:57 chris paul_p: well no, it will be 3.4
07:57 its not going to have major new features
07:57 but its going to be much faster/tidier
07:57 and i hope to have a short release cycle
07:58 aiming for 6 months
07:58 if we try for 4.0 it will take too long
07:58 id rather go for short release cycles
07:59 magnus short_release_cycles++
07:59 chris magnus: yeah, was a fairly clear indication they still don't get it
07:59 Ekel hi, may i ask if u have experience getting this error with 3.0.0.4: *** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/perl: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x000000000395e4a0 ***
08:02 paul_p chris, short_release_cycles++
08:04 magnus @karma short_release_cycles
08:04 munin magnus: Karma for "short_release_cycles" has been increased 2 times and decreased 0 times for a total karma of 2.
08:08 genji chris++
08:08 hlt++
08:09 what else haven't i increased in ages..
08:11 Ekel left #koha
08:11 kf short_release_cycles++
08:12 chris heh
08:12 magnus you have our support, chris... ;-)
08:12 chris yikes that error of Ekels' looked nasty
08:23 kf I think we should try to stick to a schedule with releases, so its a bit easier to plan for things.
08:23 chris yep, within reason
08:23 but we can stick to as schedule for feature freeze
08:24 still have to release when the bugs are fixed
08:24 kf I agree

11:30 kf does someone know how 942 is populated? I see problems where 942 is a different item type than the items (using item level itpyes)
11:37 chris_n g'morning #koha
11:39 jwagner joined #koha
11:39 jwagner is now known as jwagner_brb
11:46 kf good morning chris_n
11:46 hi jwagner
11:46 does someone know how 942 is populated? I see problems where 942 is a different item type than the items (using item level itpyes) (942 is not for loan, item type is for loan, opac says: not for loan...)
11:47 jdavidb joined #koha
11:47 chris_n kf: sorry, I'm not sure
11:47 chris kf i think its in the marc editor
11:47 you choose itemtype there
11:48 kf yes, but it should not use it?
11:48 chris thats the only place i know of that 942 is populated
11:48 jwagner_brb Hi kf and chris and chris_n -- am waiting for a repairman to show up so I may get called away any minute.
11:48 kf we use item level itypes and so we dont set it
11:48 chris right
11:49 kf im just not sure if there is a configuraton problem too
11:49 chris so its blank?
11:49 kf want to report a bug
11:49 not its a pulldown
11:49 jwagner_brb kf, somewhere in the code, and I hope to hunt it down with heavy weapons, things still look at the 942c item type instead of the item-level item type.  If it's not correct, bad things happen.
11:49 kf it seems it gets set to the first entry in the pull down
11:49 which is a not for loan itype... although the items are for loan
11:49 chris well it should look at 942c if thats what the systempref says to look at
11:50 kf my syspref is set to specific item (item-level_itypes on)
11:50 chris right in that case it shouldnt
11:51 kf just want to make sure, I write on the bug report right now
11:51 but perhaps it should not be set at all, when using item-level_itypes?
11:52 chris well not being set at all wouldnt fix the bug, if its not respecting the syspref its just going to use a blank itemtype instead
11:53 kf you are right
11:54 perhaps I can define a better default value, an item type that is for loan
11:54 chris every once in a while i am :)
11:55 if you file the bug, mark it blocker
11:55 thats one that needs to be fixed before release
11:55 kf near to always would be my guess :)

12:04 chris cool
12:04 kf hope its understandable

12:10 kf there is a saying in German about not seeing the forrest because of all the trees...
12:11 jdavidb We say that here, too. :)
12:11 kf :)
12:11 * jdavidb sometimes can't see the trees, either, for all the bizarre, mutated little weeds that have grown up in the way.
12:13 kf :)
12:15 another bug candidate: scan index in advanced search can not display umlauts and ß - is this because of indexing (with icu reducing ü to u?) and does not work with hebrew

12:28 schuster joined #koha
12:31 owen Interesting... The "Add & Duplicate" function auto-increments the barcode even if  autoBarcode  is off
12:33 collum left #koha
12:34 tomascohen joined #koha
12:37 magnus owen: would probably be better if it left the barcodes blank? But then again - why enter a barcode for an item you want to duplicate?
12:38 owen The "Add & Duplicate" button adds the item you've just entered and then pre-populates the add item form again with the same values
12:39 kf I think this feature is for cataloging more than one item at once with preprinted barcodes
12:39 owen So you have to enter the barcode the first time, but I question whether the pre-populated form should contain an auto-incremented barcode when you have that preference turned off
12:39 kf where the barcodes are incrementing
12:40 owen The pre-populated form increments the barcode you entered in the first form.
12:40 ...which assumes you're adding a series of items from the same batch of barcodes
12:40 kf perhaps when you have more than one cataloger, you split your barcode sheets between them, so it does not imcrement from the highest barcode in the database but from the onr you entered?
12:41 owen We use a different set of barcodes for each library
12:42 ...and there is no guarantee that the next physical barcode the cataloger chooses will be +1 from the last barcode used
12:42 kf I think the auto-increment syspref is for generating barcodes in general, so its not really related to the duplicate add feature, perhaps should be another syspref
12:42 owen The auto-increment syspref automatically populates the add item screen with an incremented barcode doesn't it?
12:43 magnus sorry owen, i was thinking of the functionality to add say 50 items in one fell swoop
12:43 kf yes, but it uses the highest number in the database
12:43 ah
12:44 me too

12:46 owen Hi nengard. Evergreen conference today?
12:48 nengard yep
12:48 Nate joined #koha
12:48 nengard and no power strips in the conference room!!!
12:48 crazy talk at a tech conference
12:49 nengard left #koha
12:49 nengard joined #koha
12:49 owen It's remarkable how badly-planned a tech conference can be. Maybe because none of the techs want anything to do with planning it?
12:49 nengard everything else is a-ok
12:50 awesome wfi
12:50 wifi
12:50 just no power in this room :(
12:50 jwagner_brb is now known as jwagner
12:50 nengard and we're here for 2 hours i think
12:50 so i hope my battery holds out for blogging purposes
12:50 * jwagner just got good news and bad news
12:50 owen Uh oh
12:51 jwagner The bad news is that my air conditioning compressor is completely failed.  The good news is that the unit is under warranty for precisely ...one more month...  I finally got a break on a major home repair!
12:51 * owen is glad the good news balances out the bad in this case
12:51 * chris_n bets jwagner is glad it is not the middle of the summer
12:51 jwagner Yes, and unless we get another week of 93 degree weather like we had 3 weeks ago, I can wait until the part is ordered to get it fixed.
12:52 Turned on the AC then, and, wow, no cold air!
12:52 nengard well that is lucky
12:52 owen @wunder 45701
12:52 munin owen: The current temperature in Ohio University, Athens, Ohio is 10.6�C (8:46 AM EDT on April 22, 2010). Conditions: Clear. Humidity: 65%. Dew Point: 4.0�C. Pressure: 29.82 in 1009.7 hPa (Falling).
12:52 owen Still nice and cool in the mornings here
12:52 nengard not sure what the zip is here ... and don't feel like looking it up
12:53 but i'm sure its cold out there
12:53 jwagner nengard, considering all the major home disasters I've had since I bought the place, I think I hit the lottery on this one.
12:53 owen @munin whereis nengard
12:53 munin owen: Error: "munin" is not a valid command.
12:53 nengard jwagner that sounds like our old house
12:53 we got out of there pretty quick
12:53 jwagner Law of averages catching up with me, I think.  My last two houses never had any major problems.
12:53 nengard ahhh
12:54 our problem is that most of the houses we can afford in eastern PA are 50+ years old
12:54 collum joined #koha
12:54 nengard so no matter what we have issues
12:54 in the new house it's the plumbing
12:54 and the electrical  - which we upgraded to handle our very gadget heavy lifestyle
12:55 * paul_p look at the opened window, with birds singing, and think Marseille is really a nice place to live !
12:55 paul_p hello US ppl
12:56 owen Hi paul_p
12:56 jwagner paul_p, trying to make us jealous?
12:56 paul_p jwagner, yes ;-)
12:56 jwagner Washington DC in springtime is pretty nice too!
12:56 paul_p jwagner, in Marseille, we say : "there are 2 kind of french ppl : those living in Marseille, and those dreaming of living in Marseille" :D :D
12:57 jwagner I'm going to have to visit that part of France someday.  The furthest south I got when I was there was the Loire valley.
12:58 paul_p while ppl of the far north say : "you cry twice in Nord-Pas de Calais : when you arrive, and when you leave" (when you arrive, because it's a cold/awful/... place, when you leave, because ppl have in their hart the heat you don't get outside)
12:58 nengard hello paul_p

13:00 jwagner By the way, I'm still chuckling over some traffic on the Unicorn admin listserv yesterday.  One of the admins passed on a question from one of his staff, for the entertainment value:
13:00 "Could the recent upgrade possibly have anything to do with our loss of phone service?"
13:01 This of course spiraled into a discussion of how everything was Sirsi's fault!  Earthquakes, Icelandic volcanoes, McAfee software debacles, etc.
13:01 Sirsi staff joined in this morning too :-)
13:03 collum The patch for Icelandic volcanoes was promised in the Horizon 8.0 release.
13:04 jwagner There was a reference in one of the earthquake messages to "the SirsiDynix fault"

13:13 jwagner chris_n, still online?
13:13 chris_n yup
13:14 mostly ;)
13:14 jwagner You were the one who was doing some report work with ExtractValue & the XML stuff, right?  I thought I had kept the messages etc., but I can't find them.
13:14 You had some screenshots, I think.
13:14 * chris_n confesses to it
13:15 nicomo_laptop joined #koha
13:15 jwagner Are those still up anywhere?
13:15 chris_n hmm... I don't remember the screen shots
13:15 most of the references to it are in the irc logs and maybe an email or two
13:16 gmcharlt biblibre++
13:17 kf jwagner: I think there is something about Extract Value on the reports page in the wiki too
13:17 chris_n jwagner: http://stats.workbuffer.org/ir[…]10-01-26#i_378258
13:17 kf cant use it... wrong mysql version here :(
13:17 jwagner Yes, I'm looking at the wiki page, but I think chris_n's examples were more detailed.  Am searching the IRC logs now.  Thanks.
13:17 chris_n http://stats.workbuffer.org/ir[…]09-11-25#i_348004
13:19 kf magnus: nice screenshot ;)
13:19 magnus thanks
13:20 jwagner OK, let me look at those examples some.  Thanks.
13:20 owen gmcharlt: What prompted that?
13:20 magnus kf: quite similar to yours, i guess ;-)
13:21 gmcharlt owen: good news, but I"m being mysterious for now :)  their good news to tell
13:21 owen Good news is good news. Otherwise I was going to declare a random karma party
13:22 mangoes++ !
13:22 magnus aww, we want to know it too! :-)
13:22 puffindogs++
13:22 * kf is curious too
13:22 collum random_karma_parties++
13:23 magnus perhaps we could bug paul_p or nicomo_laptop or someone to tell us!
13:24 @karma random_karma_parties
13:24 munin magnus: Karma for "random_karma_parties" has been increased 1 time and decreased 0 times for a total karma of 1.
13:24 kf allergies--
13:26 paul_p jesse--
13:26 there are a lot of sysprefs that are reversed in the .pref files
13:26 for example :
13:26 - pref: hidelostitems
13:26 choices:
13:26 yes: Show
13:26 no: "Don't show"
13:27 hidelostitem = 1 = don't show lost items :(((
13:28 chris_n ouch
13:29 gmcharlt paul_p: little harsh to decrement him, but at any rate, I've been pushing patches to fix those where they appear
13:29 paul_p ok, because of channel request I tell : Lyon3 university is live since 1 week, things seems, it's the 1st french university with a OS-ILS. We should announce that publicly in a few days, pls keep it for yourself
13:29 chris_n biblibre++
13:29 magnus biblibre++
13:30 jwagner Congrats!
13:30 gmcharlt wouldn't be a bad idea for us to rename the "negative" sysprefs to avoid double-negative confusion
13:30 magnus thanks for telling us, paul_p! ;-)
13:30 chris_n gmcharlt++
13:30 owen gmcharlt++
13:30 paul_p gmcharlt, you're right, but I spend half a day understanding what was happening on my setup, so i'm a little bit bored & maybe a little but too much, you're right
13:30 * chris_n seems to recall something about negative logic in Perl Best Practices
13:30 chris_n better to avoid it when at all possible
13:31 paul_p chris_n, it's not Perl specific ;-)
13:31 gmcharlt I am not in complete disagreement with you, chris_n
13:31 chris_n paul_p: not not true ;-)
13:32 magnus is now known as magnus_away
13:41 owen SQL gurus I throw myself at your feet. I'm querying the statistics table to get a count of circs by ccode and by branch for a given month:
13:41 SELECT COUNT(statistics.itemnumber) as count FROM items,statistics WHERE statistics.itemnumber= items.itemnumber AND  items.ccode = 'AF' AND statistics.branch='APL' AND MONTH(datetime) = 1 AND YEAR(datetime) = 2009 AND (statistics.type = 'issue' OR statistics.type = 'renew')
13:41 ...but this won't count circs for items which have been deleted
13:42 Can I create a single query which includes deleteditems without doing "OR (statistics.itemnumber = delteditems.itemnumber)"... which seems very inefficient
13:44 Is there some kind of JOIN magic I should be using?
13:47 jwagner owen, I've been working on a weeding report for one site that might give you some pointers.  See if maybe you can adapt this:
13:47 SELECT items.barcode, items.homebranch AS 'branch', items.itemcallnumber, biblio.title, items.issues as 'Total # Checkouts' FROM items LEFT JOIN biblio on  (items.biblionumber = biblio.biblionumber) LEFT JOIN old_issues on (items.itemnumber = old_issues.itemnumber) WHERE items.itype != 'REF'  AND items.itemcallnumber LIKE 'OV%' AND items.homebranch = 'M' AND ( (items.issues <= '3' OR items.issues IS NULL) OR date(old_issues.issuedate) NOT BETWEEN '2004-01-01' A
13:47 Look at the part after the itemcallnumber limit
13:50 Of course, jdavidb gets the credit for the SQL magic :-)
13:51 jdavidb When doing perverted JOINs like that, it helps to have a twisted mind.
13:52 sekjal joined #koha
13:52 owen That would make me the Ward Cleaver of SQL I guess :|
13:52 * jwagner wasn't going to comment on jdavidb's abilities....
13:53 * jdavidb found that working for a fairly Fundamentalist Christian university for a while warps you in all sorts of interesting ways.

13:54 gmcharlt jdavidb: and it's even worse when you add Cartesian philosphy to the SQL mix

13:56 owen I get confused by multiple LEFT JOINs.
13:56 I tried this:
13:56 SELECT count( statistics.itemnumber )
13:56 FROM statistics
13:56 LEFT JOIN items ON ( items.itemnumber = statistics.itemnumber )
13:56 LEFT JOIN deleteditems ON ( deleteditems.itemnumber = statistics.itemnumber )
13:56 WHERE MONTH( statistics.datetime ) =1
13:56 AND YEAR( statistics.datetime ) =2009
13:57 ...but that gives me a slightly different count than two separate queries, one of items and one of deleteditems
13:57 kf post office opening times force me to leave now - bye all :)
13:59 jdavidb One way that could happen, owen, is if the itemnumber appeared in both items and deleteditems.  It *shouldn't*, I know, but...
13:59 kf left #koha
14:00 sekjal owen:  running some tests now...
14:01 nicomo_laptop joined #koha
14:01 nicomo_laptop left #koha
14:01 owen jdavidb: That explains one of the 1161 difference
14:01 jdavidb :-O
14:01 sekjal owen: nope, your items and deleteditems are disjoint
14:02 * jdavidb doesn't consider 1161 difference "sight" in populations of  less than a half-million.
14:02 sekjal can't find any itemnumber that's in both tables
14:03 jdavidb Separately count the ones in statistics that have (somehow) fallen out of *both* tables?   Same query, only WHERE deleteditems.itemnumber IS NULL AND items.itemnumber IS NULL ?
14:04 (flunking both JOINs, so to speak)
14:04 paul_p git question : is there a way to check between 2 branches patches that are not applied on the other branch ?
14:06 jdavidb paul_p:  I think there's a variation on git diff that does that.  I think I might have used it once.
14:06 owen jdavidb: 1161!
14:06 jdavidb owen:  Bingo.

14:08 jdavidb There's a lot of other hoopla in statistics, though; narrowing things down a little may help.   Might add a WHERE type="issue", for instance.

14:09 jdavidb (if that's what you're trying to count, anyway.)

14:46 does this help?
14:48 I found it here: http://developer.amazonwebserv[…]pa?externalID=636
14:48 googling "amazon assoc tag"
14:49 CGI684 Ah, no mention of that in any of the Koha docs, its referred to as something completly different...thanks.....I am setting one up now!
14:50 wizzyrea_laptop :) we'll note it to nengard that it's not in the docs.
14:50 owen jdavidb: Can I ask you another sql question?
14:50 jdavidb Sure.  :)
14:50 owen SELECT count( statistics.itemnumber )
14:50 FROM statistics
14:50 LEFT JOIN items ON ( items.itemnumber = statistics.itemnumber )
14:50 LEFT JOIN deleteditems ON ( deleteditems.itemnumber = statistics.itemnumber )

14:50 AND YEAR( statistics.datetime ) =2009
14:51 nengard live blogging a conference - email me whatever it is i'm supposed to do/read
14:51 owen Given that query, how I do get the ccode? It might be coming from items or deleteditems
14:51 wizzyrea_laptop k
14:51 jdavidb Hm...got an idea.. 'sec.
14:52 owen jdavidb: Hang on
14:52 I don't think I asked that correctly
14:52 jdavidb how about CONCAT (items.ccode,deleteditems.ccode) as 'ccode'
14:52 One or the other will be NULL, so you'll get the other.
14:52 brendan joined #koha
14:53 owen jdavidb: What I want to do is *limit* by ccode
14:53 (nice CONCAT trick though!)
14:54 Should I just be adding a WHERE for items and deleteditems?
14:54 jdavidb *nod*  should be able to still use it:  WHERE CONCAT(items.ccode,deleteditems.ccode) NOT IN ('codes','you','want','to','exclude'), for example,
14:54 You could do that.  a WHERE this OR that should work.

15:24 CGI537 Hello. I just enabled AmazonBook covers in my Koha and no images appear, the log show the following:  opac-search.pl: Illegal Date '10/10/1997' does not match 'iso' format: yyyy-mm-dd at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Search.pm line 1528
15:25 does anyone think this is relatde to the Amazon problem or a suprious error?
15:25 wizzyrea_laptop what version?
15:25 and do you have all of your keys put in correctly?
15:27 CGI537 I think so, the only one that is bothering me a little is the AmazonAssocTag, in the SysPrefs the description feild says go to aws.amazon.com but I had to go the affiliate site instead
15:27 to register for one, that is
15:27 3.0004019 is the version
15:29 wizzyrea_laptop Ah, yes. I know related items and reviews won't work
15:29 with that version (amazon changed their setup)
15:29 CGI537 Should the book jackets work though?
15:29 wizzyrea_laptop as for why you're not getting images: do your records have ISBN's?
15:29 if your bibs have ISBN's they should work
15:30 CGI537 ISBNs? I hope so!! There are all full USMarc records from certified sources, the marc view shows them but the display in Koha doesn't,. would that be it?

15:34 wizzyrea_laptop do you ahve a link to your catalog?

15:36 CGI537 It's in house at the moment, I think you might be on to something with the ISBNs though, the marc load seems to have screwed up the tag mappings and the ISBN on most of the records aren't in the 020, strange!!
15:36 owen That would do it

15:59 wizzyrea_laptop chris_n: if you like eating bits, then this is the place. Mostly help though. :)
15:59 hi :)
15:59 CGI729 we have just installed koha 3.0.2 and there are some doubts we'd like to answer
16:00 wizzyrea_laptop any particular reason you did 3.0.2 instead of 3.0.5? Lots of bugfixes in 3.0.5
16:00 http://koha-community.org/download-koha/
16:01 (that's the official, up to date site)
16:01 CGI729 oh well
16:01 wizzyrea_laptop but you can go ahead with your questions
16:01 :)
16:02 owen koha.org strikes again
16:02 ebegin Anybody tried KohaILS.com ? :)
16:02 wizzyrea_laptop oh lord
16:02 CGI729 yeah! since we're working on a guberment institution, it's a little hard to change things, so we'd like to resolve the errors in our current installation
16:03 owen ebegin: I thought that used to redirect to koha.org
16:03 wizzyrea_laptop it did
16:03 owen If it did, then PTFS has decided to change it now that LibLime is not hounding them to do so
16:04 PTFS is not making any friends this week.
16:04 wizzyrea_laptop eek yea
16:04 ebegin owen : That what I though too ;)
16:05 collum Oy!
16:06 wizzyrea_laptop anybody have fabulous google fu?
16:06 CGI729 queston: why my opac doesn't display my records? :-(

16:07 especially entry 3
16:07 http://koha-community.org/docu[…]faq/searching/#16
16:07 indexing in general is a trip up point
16:07 so make sure your indexes are running
16:07 *zebra, I mean
16:08 CGI729 ok
16:11 another question: i run the framework test and this is what i got: The biblio.biblionumber and biblioitems.biblioitemnumber > fields be mapped to a MARC subfield
16:11 i have biblio.biblionumber on 999 $c and biblioitems.biblioitemsnumber on 999 $d
16:12 what is the reason to that error
16:12 documentation i found didn't help much
16:14 wizzyrea_laptop hmm. That one I don't have a fast answer for you for.
16:14 let me look though :)

18:47 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4208 critical, P1, ---, chris@bigballofwax.co.nz, NEW, Many submit buttons are not translatable in 3.2
18:47 cait should have opened a new bug...
18:48 is it ok to change that bug to blocker?
18:49 owen If translations don't work, I would think so
18:49 collum joined #koha
18:49 cait opac-detail is very important in opac, submit buttons too
18:50 I thought updating the po files would help, it did solve my other problem with serials in intranet yesterday
18:58 owen Oh man all the TMPL_IFs in that Syndetics code is making my eyes hurt!
18:59 It's no wonder the translator is choking on it
19:00 cait translator: (too confused to show details)
19:00 :)
19:02 davi joined #koha
19:03 cait I have another small bug in serials where a link is not translated, will try to solve that
19:03 davi left #koha
19:04 owen Anyone around who has worked with this Syndetics code? jdavidb?
19:04 jdavidb A teeny little bit, yeah.  David Birmingham has spent more time on it than I have.
19:05 owen The Syndetics cover markup in the template:
19:05 <!-- TMPL_IF NAME="normalized_upc" -->&amp;upc=<!-- TMPL_VAR NAME="normalized_upc" --><!-- /TMPL_IF --><!-- TMPL_IF NAME="normalized_oclc" -->&amp;oclc=<!-- TMPL_VAR NAME="normalized_oclc" --><!-- /TMPL_IF -->
19:06 Do you know if there is a reason why it couldn't send both &upc=&oclc= ?
19:06 I'm assuming only one would be populated?
19:07 Actually I guess I can't assume that from the code, but I wonder if it's a problem if the URL contains an empty parameter: &upc=&oclc=[some number]
19:08 If that was the case we could take the TMPL_IFs out from inside the <img> tag and make the translator happy
19:08 jdavidb I don't know from experience, but intuitively, normally only one would be, I would think.  I don't know if that causes issues at Syndetics.
19:09 owen I could create a patch, but I can't test since I don't have a  SyndeticsClientCode
19:11 CC you or jwagner on the bug jdavidb?
19:11 cait thx for your help owen
19:12 jdavidb yes, please..  I'll pass it along on this end, see if DLB knows anything.

19:14 mib_7fjw2v good
19:14 i's like to know why my koha doesn't display the calendar
19:14 any sugestion?
19:15 cait the calendar page in tools or the calendar to set dates?
19:15 owen What version of Koha? What browser?
19:15 mib_7fjw2v both
19:15 jdavidb left #koha
19:18 ebegin mib_7fjw2v in Firefox, you can open the Java Console, you will probably have some info there when trying to display the calendar. (Tools » Java Console)
19:19 mib_7fjw2v my koha version is 3.02 and my browser is mozilla firefox
19:19 ebegin mib_7fjw2v, which language?  are java scripts reachable?
19:19 mib_7fjw2v you think is a problem with java?
19:20 becouse thats what i was thinking
19:21 ebegin yes, that would be my guess
19:21 mib_7fjw2v well, everything seemed to be working with java
19:23 another thing, my sistem is set on spanish
19:23 ebegin English language?
19:23 ok :)
19:24 mib_7fjw2v does that matter?
19:24 owen mib_7fjw2v: Were you able to pull up Firefox's error console?
19:24 Sharon joined #koha
19:25 cait owen: you are fast :)
19:25 ebegin what is spanish language code? sp?
19:25 mib_7fjw2v the firefoxs error says: calendar is not defined
19:26 owen cait: It was a pretty simple fix (assuming it works for you and for Syndetics users)
19:26 ebegin make sure you have the file <kohainstalldir>/intranet/htdo​cs/intranet-tmpl/prog/<SPANISH LANGAUGE CODE>/includes/calendar.inc
19:27 wizzyrea_laptop I think es is the code for español
19:27 ebegin wizzyrea_laptop, I should have though of this :)
19:27 s/though/thought
19:27 mib_7fjw2v yes: the code is es
19:28 cait owen: I dont know how to apply patches to my installation (my git knowledge is very limited) but will test as soon as I find out or when its available in git
19:29 owen Are you testing on HEAD cait?
19:30 cait yes
19:31 I use git pull for updating my installation, but need to learn more about how to work with branches and updating them
19:31 owen cait I just emailed you the updated opac-detail.tmpl if you want to give it a try

21:33 cait no thats another bug, got confuing because I added another problem to the bug (which turned out to be not related)
21:33 chris ahh
21:33 so then its probably just because the fix has not been pushed up

21:33 cait there is a patch for the first bug (submit buttons), but its not in head yet. I think you added the patch locally.

21:45 mib_3xhl0q hello, all
21:45 i have a question
21:46 i've cataloged a title: 245 a$ North Star. p$ Reading and writing.
21:46 but in the OPAC the title appears as only: North Star.
21:46 How can I make sure the rest of the title appears?
21:49 chris what version of koha?
21:50 mib_3xhl0q let me check...
21:51 3.00.02.012
21:55 that's the version i'm using
21:55 chris ahh in the newer versions i would tell you to turn on the XSLT
21:55 for the opac-detail
21:55 hilongo joined #koha
21:55 chris its a systempreference
21:55 and that should show the full title
21:56 mib_3xhl0q boy, oh boy
21:56 chris for 3.0.2 im not sure that exists, take a look in systempreferences
21:56 in the opac tab
21:56 mib_3xhl0q i'll take a look right now...
21:56 chris and see if there is one
21:56 genji joined #koha
21:57 mib_3xhl0q XSLTDetailsDisplay
21:57 that it?
21:58 seems that might be it
21:58 chris yeah, try that
21:58 fingers crossed :)
21:58 mib_3xhl0q just turn it ON, right
21:59 just did... noe i jkust have to check the OPAC and see how it lloks?
21:59 sorry for the garbled typing
22:01 it worked!
22:01 chris yay!
22:02 mib_3xhl0q thank you!
22:03 chris no worries
22:04 mib_3xhl0q if i wanted a bit more space between title and subtitle, i would have to know CSS, I guess
22:06 chris yeah :)

22:21 chris_n wiki, wow!
22:27 richard beginning to think i should email the nz-libs email list and say it wasn't katipo who made the new site
22:27 for lianza
22:27 oops
22:27 chris_n heya richard
22:27 richard cripes, wrong channel
22:28 hi chris_n
22:28 chris heh i did that just before too
22:28 * chris_n hates pressing 'send' before finishing an email
22:29 chris_n or worse yet... sending it to the wrong person because auto-complete screwed up
22:30 larsw I use Evolution for e-mail... it uses control-backspace to delete the word before the cursor, and control-enter to send an email...
22:30 backspace and enter being right next to each other, sometimes I send e-mail with words I would really not have
22:31 richard never got going with evolution. had thunderbird on a windows machine and stuck with that for my ubuntu one
22:31 chris_n heh
