00:02 chris_n Business::PayPal
00:02 chris be nice to do something like the sms solution
00:02 so that ppl could chose one that works for their locale
00:03 but paypal would be a darn good start
00:03 chris_n maybe a module to interface with processor modules and a syspref to select which processor
00:04 chris *nod*
00:05 * chris_n pushes it into the todo buffer
00:11 brendan joined #koha
00:14 wajasu left #koha
00:49 * chris_n thinks that #koha provides the fastest responses to questions of any irc channel he has visited yet
00:50 chris_n #koha++
00:51 brendan agreed
00:51 #koha++
00:52 so here's a question on the item detail page under the edit button - what does attach an item do?
00:59 * gmcharlt shakes first at YAML::XS for not having the courtesy to package itself for lenny ;)
01:02 gmcharlt brendan: transfers a different item attached to another bib
01:02 chris_n brendan: that is for the future C4::Quantum::Storage module
01:02 which allows you to store the actual item itself in the database
01:02 gmcharlt i.e., go to target bib, choose 'attach item', enter barcode of the item you want to relink to that bib
01:02 brendan yeah no worries chris_n  - thanks gmcharlt
01:03 * brendan was being cute
01:03 brendan was almost thinking MFHD
01:04 * chris_n has been hammering on samba tooooo long

03:32 Amit_G heya all
03:32 brendan we've seemed to get enough interest
03:32 Amit_G heya chris, brendan
03:32 brendan hiya Amit_g
03:36 chris_n hi Amit_g
03:36 Amit_G heya chris_n
03:38 brendan chris_n what's the goal of C4::Quantum::Storage
03:39 heh
03:43 chris_n brendan: put simply, such a module would utilize the basic concepts of quantum mechanics along with principles of statistical mechanics as applied to non-equalibrium problems and apply them in such a way as to take advantage of nanoscale current flow thereby allowing physical items to be stored in the data base rather than on costly and space consuming stacks in the traditional manner.
03:44 brendan HA excellent answer
03:44 heh
03:44 chris_n I'm sure such a feature would make many librarians very happy :)
03:44 brendan :)
03:45 chris_n just think, you could carry your books home with you in your library card

13:07 jdavidb hi, kmkale! :)
13:08 tomascohen joined #koha
13:13 kmkale hi jdavidb
13:13 I really got stuck yesterday trying to install either 3.2 or master on a machine with 5.8.8
13:14 had weird make test errors
13:14 finally chris_n suggested it must be perl and I uograded to 5.10.0 and lo all is well again
13:14 :)
13:17 but I cant install DBD::SQLite2 on this machine anywhich way I try. How important is having this module?
13:19 owen I know I've heard about Bug 4462 before, but I'm not sure I remember correctly what the potential problem is
13:19 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4462 minor, P5, ---, oleonard@myacpl.org, NEW, Sort By Publication Date Does Not Work
13:19 jcamins joined #koha
13:19 owen Isn't Zebra looking at one of the 00 tags for the date on which to sort?
13:19 ...rather than, for instance, trying to parse out a date from 260?
13:22 chris_n kmkale: DBD::SQLite2 is not necessary unless you use the offline circ tool
13:22 it won't install for me either
13:22 kmkale ok. cool.
13:23 chris_n however, it would be interesting to see if someone else can confirm the apparent 5.10 requirement for 3.2alpha2
13:23 I don't think that is an intended "feature"
13:23 kmkale yes. but I tried very hard as you know.
13:24 i could install 3.0.0 to 3.0.5 but not 3.2alpha2 or master
13:24 may be that make test paste might have given you a clue?
13:27 jcamins owen: I have no idea where the sorting is, but I suspect the answer is "yes." Of course, that means that the text in the sort box is misleading.
13:28 kf why misleading?
13:29 its the publication date, standardized for sorting
13:29 magnus left #koha
13:30 jcamins Because if you look in record.abs, for some reason 260c is considered the copyright date (and, yes, I know _that_ is actually the misleading bit).
13:30 (it just depends whether you're the librarian or the developer)
13:30 :)
13:31 owen What does record.abs say about publication date?
13:32 jcamins 008/07-10
13:33 owen "080605s2008 ctua e b 001 0 eng d"
13:33 Does that correctly work out to "2008" ?
13:33 I guess if you start from zero
13:33 jcamins I would argue that the sorting has the desired behavior, it's just confusing to have 'copydate' separate.
13:34 Hm... does Zebra start from zero?
13:34 (checking now)
13:35 Yep.
13:36 This reminds me that we're still missing dates in tens of thousands of records.
13:37 owen My test seems to show correct sorting based on 008/07-10. It can look out of order if you judge by the copyright date
13:37 jcamins Yeah. I looked at the example in the bug report, and the 008/07-10 isn't set for the records at the top.
13:38 (or, rather, it's 9999)
13:39 owen jcamins: Where did you look to find that information about record.abs?
13:40 jcamins etc/zebradb/marc_defs/marc21/biblios/record.abs
13:41 The whole handling of dates in Zebra is a little funny.
13:41 (that is, the current configuration, not the way Zebra handles dates)
13:42 rhcl2 is now known as rhcl
13:44 owen jcamins: So this section of record.abs on the line starting "melm 008"
13:44 pubdate:w:range(data,7,4),pubdate:n:range(​data,7,4),pubdate:y:range(data,7,4),pubdat​e:s:range(data,7,4),pl:w:range(data,15,3)
13:44 ?
13:45 jcamins Right.
13:45 And the copydate line starts "melm 260$c"
13:46 owen I assume the "7,4" means start at position 7 and go 4 characters, but what do the "[letter]:range" parts mean?
13:46 w, n, y, s?
13:47 jcamins The letters are the type of indexing. I think I have a bookmark to the explanation, one moment.
13:49 http://www.indexdata.com/zebra[…]and-charsets.html
13:50 So, see etc/zebradb/etec/default.idx
13:50 *etc/zebradb/etc/default.idx
13:51 girlajo joined #koha
13:52 owen jcamins: I don't understand what you're pointing out
13:53 sekjal joined #koha
13:53 jcamins Sorry. If you look in etc/zebradb/etc/default.idx, it explains what each index is.
13:53 collum word, num, year, sort?
13:53 jcamins So it would seem.
13:55 I admit I don't entirely understand that bit. I'm still shocked that I was able to get our custom index on 033 to work.
13:55 owen Ah, so Zebra has 4 indexes for that one piece of data
13:56 collum I don't have access to Koha ATM.  I'm looking at http://bit.ly/bPsp6E
13:57 About 20 lines down there's a section on "Date indexing in Koha 3.0 for MARC21"
13:57 owen That's what I see too collum
13:59 kf I think range is needed for the syntax in opac 2005 - 2010ß
13:59 ?
13:59 ok, I mean the search for publication date in advanced search
14:01 owen Changed Bug 4462 to "worksforme." Someone please comment if I've described the issue incorrectly
14:01 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4462 minor, P5, ---, oleonard@myacpl.org, RESOLVED WORKSFORME, Sort By Publication Date Does Not Work
14:02 jcamins Looks clear to me.
14:02 girlajo left #koha
14:03 owen Thanks for you help jcamins
14:03 jcamins++
14:03 jcamins My pleasure. Maybe some day I'll start _really_ understanding Zebra, and I'll be able to get 033 indexed in the standard installation.
14:04 (since no one ever uses 033, that's the field for "date of event, etc." in MARC21)
14:04 owen How is it used?
14:05 jcamins We (and the Grolier Club) use it for auction catalogs, so that the date of the auction is searchable.
14:05 owen Interesting
14:05 jcamins (I'm checking if our external catalog is up, and if it is, I can send you an example)
14:06 * owen first worked in an art museum library, so he remembers shelving lots of auction catalogs
14:07 jcamins (catalog is down... I bet I can take a screenshot, though)
14:14 http://bit.ly/a7oL4l
14:14 jwagner_meeting is now known as jwagner
14:31 owen Why do we have an items.renewals and an issues.renewals?
14:32 jwagner jcamins, I have a site that's trying to catalog auction catalogs.  I set them up with local note fields for auction date, location, & auction house, then created separate indexes and searches for just those fields to isolate.
14:32 owen is now known as owen-away
14:33 sekjal owen:  I think the intent is that issues.renewals tracks how many times a book has been renewed for the current loan, and items.renewals tracks how many times it has been renewed in its lifespan

15:31 I have a catalog of questions about koha to answer...
15:32 kmkale gmcharlt: ok
15:35 jcamins If I use Stage MARC Records for Import, I don't have to manually reindex the Zebra, right? I mean, the incremental indexing cron job should take care of it?
15:35 kf: I've never used that feature. Actually, I haven't really done any cataloging in Koha yet. But I eagerly await the day when I have the opportunity to.
15:36 jwagner jcamins, yes the indexing cron should take care of things.  However, if I'm importing a whole lot of records I might suspend that cron & do a manual rebuild instead.
15:37 jcamins jwagner: Thanks. I think I may do that, then, since I'm importing 176k records.

16:39 wizzyrea kmkale: I was trying to apply your patch for fines rules, and I kept getting invalid patch. I was sad.
16:39 idk if anyone else had trouble
16:39 (it could just be me)
16:40 kmkale wizzyrea: i was just working on that.
16:41 i have a new file can I email you and can you please test it?
16:41 wizzyrea I would be delighted

16:59 wizzyrea: any luck?
16:59 owen sekjal: Thanks for the tip re:renewals. That sounds right
17:00 * owen is trying to figure out why Circulation.pm is querying for 'items.renewalsallowed' on line 2232 of Circulation.pm
17:02 gmcharlt it isn't
17:02 see the joins below
17:03 wizzyrea ok sorry, I got called away
17:03 one minute
17:03 owen Sorry gmcharlt I guess it's over my head.
17:04 jdavidb_lunch is now known as jdavidb
17:04 owen gmcharlt: How does the join work in relation to "SELECT renewalsallowed FROM items" ?
17:06 gmcharlt owen: the query expands to SELECT renewalsallowed FROM items LEFT JOIN itemtypes ON items.itype = itemtypes.itemtype  WHERE items.itemnumber = ?
17:06 (assuming item-level item types are on)
17:06 since renewalsallowed is a column in itemtypes, not items, that's where te results are pulled from
17:07 owen I get it, thanks.
17:07 wizzyrea kmkale: works, some whitespace errors though
17:07 owen I get confused by what level of specificity is required once you get into joins
17:07 * wizzyrea is very pleased with that patch
17:08 kmkale gr8
17:08 owen The conclusion, however, is that "renewals allowed" from smart-rules.pl isn't used at all in determining the allowed renewal count
17:09 kmkale I will go after those white space errors and resubmit. Thanks wizzyrea
17:09 owen Also: Uh oh: itemtypes.pl no longer includes a field for entering "renewals allowed."
17:11 Also: No renewalsallowed column in itemtypes
17:11 gmcharlt owen: pushed a patch that may be relevent - please try again
17:14 owen Thanks gmcharlt. Now I can look at Bug 3666 on its own merits
17:14 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3666 normal, P5, ---, jmf@liblime.com, NEW, Overriding renewal limit results in negative count in OPAC display
17:15 gmcharlt owen: so the renewal limit policy seems to be working now?
17:15 owen I see at least that opac-user.pl is reporting a correct number for number of renewals allowed
17:16 Before no number was appearing at all, hence my hunt
17:17 And I can confirm that changing the limit in smart-rules.pl is reflected by opac-user.pl's output
17:21 jcamins gmcharlt: Do you know if the many useful scripts in kohaclone/misc are documented?
17:21 gmcharlt jcamins: some are, some aren't
17:23 jcamins I'll ask nengard if she could add a note about the existence of the undocumented ones to the manual, even if they're not documented right away.
17:24 nengard jcamins nope - that's getting into developer documentation - which is a bit over my head
17:24 what I do have is all of the cron jobs documented
17:24 jcamins Oh. Hm.
17:24 nengard http://koha-community.org/docu[…]-manual/?ch=a9984
17:24 and if the cron had perl documentation I included that as well
17:25 if not it's not listed
17:25 jcamins Oh well. It was a thought.
17:25 Perhaps one day I'll have time to document the many useful scripts in kohaclone/misc.
17:26 :)
17:27 gmcharlt jcamins: feel free to pick just one for now :)
17:27 jcamins Yes, I'd certainly only start with one.
17:27 nengard: Perhaps this would be a good use for the wiki?
17:27 nengard that's what the developers said :)
17:27 that the wiki was for developer documentation
17:28 if you do start writing something - put it on wiki.koha-community.org - not the old site
17:30 jcamins Is there some structure I should be following? I believe you were nominated to decide on a structure for the wiki, and I don't want to put pages in the wrong place or anything.
17:37 kmkale wizzyrea: I have now got the patch to a stage where it applies to current head without any errors
17:38 should I email it again or just add it as anather attachement to the bug page?
17:38 gmcharlt?
17:41 sekjal left #koha
17:43 gmcharlt kmkale: both
17:43 kmkale ok
17:43 gmcharlt jcamins: structure can be cleaned up later
17:43 kmkale here goes ( with fingers crossed )
17:45 nengard jcamins - ditto what gmcharlt said
17:45 it's easy with mediawiki to add categories  for structure without having to move pages
17:46 so we can do it whenever
17:53 wizzyrea bugs.k-c.org... still waiting for user registrations?
17:53 i.e. use the old bugs?
17:54 owen I was wondering about that... Couldn't we just register those email addresses with random passwords and let them claim them later and do a password-reset?
17:54 wizzyrea guess we need to wait for chris to get up
17:54 but it's Sat. for him
17:57 nengard he said to keep using the old bugs site
17:57 and that he'd call a freeze next week sometime
17:57 so he can move everything
17:57 wizzyrea right, I didn't know if that had changed. Oh, I missed that part
17:57 re: the freeze
17:57 cool beans then
17:58 sekjal joined #koha
17:58 wizzyrea bug 3134 is in LEK I think. :/
17:58 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3134 enhancement, P5, ---, gmcharlt@gmail.com, NEW, Ability to selelct multiple reports to delete at once
17:59 * owen missed the freeze part too.
17:59 wizzyrea the fix
17:59 i mean
18:09 kmkale gmcharlt: can I ask a newb query regarding git?
18:09 gmcharlt sure
18:10 kmkale I have created and sent a patch now but its on hold as there is a feature freeze, in the meanwhile someone changes one of the files to which the patch applies, so when time come to apply / add the patch it will fail
18:11 is the abive correct?
18:11 gmcharlt not necessarily
18:12 git can merge many types of changes
18:12 * kmkale goes to readup on git merge
18:17 JeremyLC joined #koha
18:19 kmkale is it possible to reverse a commit? or to reverse a patch applied with git apply?
18:20 jdavidb several ways to do that, depending.
18:20 kmkale depending on what?
18:21 jdavidb if it's the most recent commit or not, and whether or not you feel it's safe to rewrite history.
18:22 (once you've pushed a branch somewhere, is better to assume it's not safe to rewrite history; it'll mess things up for others who might use the pushed branch.)
18:22 JeremyLC Has anyone, other than LibLime, implemented the hourly circulation RFC yet?
18:23 kmkale for someone like me whos not pushing any branch
18:23 ?
18:23 jdavidb If you've done git apply, but not git commit, you can just git checkout <branchname> and your changes will be un-done.
18:23 kmkale meaning start a new branch?
18:23 jdavidb If you've committed it, and it's the top commit, and you don't mind rewriting your local history, git reset --hard HEAD^ will un-do it.
18:24 no; git checkout the branchname you're on; it should toss your changes.
18:24 (also, could do git checkout HEAD to get to that spot, too)
18:24 if it's not the top commit, git revert <commit-hash> is probably the best way to go.
18:24 kmkale huh? i am already in that branch right? it still tosses my changes?
18:25 jdavidb git checkout HEAD will toss uncommitted changes to the current branch, yes.
18:25 kmkale i am getting a picture of a tape reel. am i right?
18:26 jdavidb (I use a text-only client; no pics when I do it, so I don't know that,.)
18:26 kmkale :)
18:26 * jdavidb is an old coot who is more comfortable in a character-cell terminal than a GUI.
18:26 kmkale meaning we rewind to a spot to reverse a commit and replay HEAD from there on
18:26 right?
18:27 jdavidb that's what it should do--go straight to HEAD, toss everything uncommited to HEAD.
18:27 kmkale where do I see <commit-hash> ?
18:27 wizzyrea kmkale: I"m looking at your fines payment printing thing
18:27 and I don't think you have the option in there to print manual invoices
18:27 jdavidb That's the 32-character hexadecimal identifier for the commit; every commit has one.  I don't know where you'll see that on your client.
18:27 wizzyrea erm credits

18:28 kmkale wizzyrea: not yet
18:28 sekjal JeremyLC:  ByWater Solutions is working on hourly loans
18:28 wizzyrea ok cool, just wanted to make sure that was on your list of to-do's :)
18:28 kmkale yup
18:28 wizzyrea yay!
18:28 JeremyLC sekjal: Oh? Are they going to contribute it back to the project?
18:29 sekjal JeremyLC: of course we are!
18:29 JeremyLC sekjal: How far along are they?
18:29 wizzyrea afaik everything bywater does comes back
18:29 JeremyLC er, you then
18:29 sekjal not far enough along to have much to brag about
18:29 JeremyLC sekjal: that is an essential feature for us, and we could implement it (and contribute it back) ourselves, but we don't need to duplicate work
18:30 sekjal but we're aiming to have it done by summers end
18:30 wizzyrea it would also be cool to be able to print an invoice slip
18:30 kmkale jdavidb: how do I see my commits?
18:30 JeremyLC sekjal: any idea when a usable release would be available?
18:30 owen kmkale: git log
18:30 jdavidb Again, you're using a client I've never seen, so I don't know.  "git log" gives a list of them, for me.
18:30 kmkale wizzyrea: you mean manual invoice? or just any ?
18:30 wizzyrea any invoice
18:30 sekjal JeremyLC: I can't give you a date on that, but I can keep you posted
18:31 * wizzyrea notes that she should look at what you did and spring off of it to help out with some of this stuff.
18:31 jdavidb is now known as jdavidb_meeting
18:31 kmkale jdavidb : client? whats that? I am running all these commands in a terminal
18:31 wizzyrea: yes thats easy
18:32 planning to put same print link in fron of invoices too
18:32 JeremyLC sekjal: Okay
18:32 kmkale owen: thanks
18:32 wizzyrea kmkale: brilliant!
18:33 kmkale past midnight. working tomorrow. so good night all

18:34 JeremyLC sekjal: could we possibly discuss this via EMail too? (JeremyC@uta.edu)
18:34 sekjal JeremyLC: of course
18:35 I've got you down in my contacts list, with a note to keep you posted
18:35 JeremyLC thanks
18:36 sekjal yeah, hourly loans really need doing.  I think it's a blocker for a lot of libraries, particularly academic
18:37 owen I think hourly loans will also be useful for children's comic book collections: "I told you you could look at that for a minute and it's been ONE MINUTE!"
18:39 Not that children collect comic books anymore.
18:39 "I told you you could look at my Edison Records wax cylinder for a minute and it's been ONE MINUTE."
18:41 sekjal owen: lol
18:44 wizzyrea somebody... anybody... want to reply to slef's concerns re: the vendor list?
18:45 owen What conversation is this?
18:45 wizzyrea on the main list
18:45 he wants the linkback clause and to exclude companies that behave poorly
18:46 owen Is that from today? I don't see it
18:46 wizzyrea sent at 1:18
18:48 nengard i also don't see it on the list...
18:49 was it sent to just you?
18:49 wizzyrea no, it says to: Me CC: Koha list
18:49 collum It's not in my inbox or trash.
18:49 wizzyrea i forwarded it to you owen
18:49 owen could be that fancy fast Google they have in KS. Special just for them.
18:49 wizzyrea well that is just odd
18:49 pbbt
18:50 collum Maybe google has blocked off the US except for KS. :)
18:50 nengard she got it cause it went to her and to the list
18:50 it just didn't make it to the list yet
18:51 wizzyrea must be making its way through the list process now
18:51 owen "Can't locate HTML/Scrubber.pm in @INC" ?
18:51 wizzyrea !?
18:51 owen I get that when I go to opac-tags.pl
18:53 nengard wizzyrea two of the bugs i submitted this morning still haven't made it to the bugs mailing list
18:53 wizzyrea hmmmm
18:53 nengard sounds to me like the koha domains are a bit choked up
18:53 email wise
18:53 wizzyrea perhaps we should ping the biblibre folk
18:53 yea, I haven't gotten anything since 9:55
18:54 this morning
18:54 (except this email from MJ, but it was to me also, as nengard pointed out)
18:54 owen Ditto on my bug activity
18:55 * chris_n confirms no list mail
18:56 chris which list? koha-devel?
18:56 nengard bugs
18:56 and koha
18:56 chris_n any
18:56 chris koha is totally different to the others
18:56 chris_n 7:41am edt is the last from koha here
18:56 chris thats koha@lists.katipo.co.nz
18:57 and there is nothing in the queue there
18:57 nengard hmmm - what about the email wizzy got but none of us did?
18:57 chris_n 7:45 for the dev list
18:57 wizzyrea it was to me
18:57 directly
18:57 + the list
18:57 nengard which list?
18:57 wizzyrea main koha
18:57 chris_n bugs has been working for me, however
18:57 nengard chris - what about that one?
18:57 chris not in the queue
18:58 wizzyrea oooo eeee oooo
18:58 chris its probably in a greylist
18:58 nengard chris_n i submitted 2 bugs this AM and didn't get the emails- but did get other emails
18:58 wizzyrea hm
18:58 patches@koha.org or koha-patches@lists.koha.org
18:58 chris_n nengard: sorry, those were addressed to me rather than the bug list
18:59 wizzyrea: last patch came through here ~1:37 am local time

19:19 chris yep
19:21 jcamins I have a question for you... what would it take to get the fix for Bug 4367 into 3.4?
19:21 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4367 normal, P5, ---, camins@numismatics.org, ASSIGNED, shelfbrowser should take collection code into consideration
19:22 jcamins (i.e. does it need to be more general/use a syspref, etc.?)
19:23 chris lemme look
19:24 yes would need a syspref
19:25 current behaviour should be the default, but if you toggle the syspref then it can work the way libraries with no callnumbers would like
19:25 jcamins Okay. That makes sense. We'll look into adding a syspref, then.
19:25 chris cool
19:27 jcamins We also need to figure out how to make the enhancement for Bug 4421 general, but I don't think that's something I'm going to worry about for a bit yet.
19:27 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4421 enhancement, P5, ---, oleonard@myacpl.org, NEW, Should be possible to display location for bibs w/o items
