And our requirement is that both the fields should be searchable in OPAC. For example if Guide Dr.Samuel Jackson has 21 thesis guided by him and one on child pschycology. then when a search is done using guide name it should give 21 results under guide and in advance sear

10:26 cait interesting mails :)
10:30 chris :)
10:31 gmcharlt good morning
10:32 chris heya gmcharlt .. still in the burgh?
10:34 mason http://www.wired.com/autopia/2[…]er-than-the-wind/
10:34 eiro hello all
10:35 mason very interesting dancer email from marc@BL
10:36 gmcharlt still has a ways to go, it would seem: "stuff doesn?t work (for example: the main search doesn?t work)."
10:37 eiro thanks mason
10:37 mason hiya eric
10:37 gmcharlt surely that would have to be a sine qua non?
10:38 mason oooh, new phrase
10:41 eiro gmcharlt, my sine qua non was to be sure that all the http mechanic can be handled and i think things currently working allready proves it. there are bugs but it would be helpfull to have help from the koha community. for example: trying to identify the CGI method that failed when trying to search a book
10:41 kmkale any idea about this line I am getting in logs? "serials-home.pl: Use of uninitialized value $sqlwhere in concatenation (.) or string at /home/kalibindia/kohaclone/C4/Serials.pm line 602"
10:42 eiro gmcharlt, i really works well for the time i had on this code
10:42 gmcharlt eiro: well, fine, but as a proof of concept, it is still very much in the early days
10:44 a new framework, no matter the apparent internal advantages, is worth switching to unless it can be shown to at least keep the current functionality in place; bib search is a core part of the ILS
10:44 mason http://www.perldancer.org/
10:45 * mason reads up...
10:45 eiro gmcharlt, that's why i would like help from koha experts .. i mean: i don't want to spend my time trying to know if the warnings as kmkale just report are significant or not
10:46 gmcharlt, the first step is to make koha run completly on koha
10:47 gmcharlt, 2nd step would be to remove tons of koha codes using cleaner and more reliable implementations from the other communities
10:47 mason it doesnt hurt to start thinking far ahead... :)
10:47 jarvey hello
10:47 can anyone help me regarding koha
10:48 gmcharlt eiro: which of course is why there are a number of architectural improvements slated for 3.4
10:48 including starting the shift to DBIx::Class for real this time
10:49 which, among other things, shoudl get us to to point where we can remove certain custom bits, such as, for instance, C4::SQLHelper, in favor of, as you say, more reliable implementations from other communities
10:49 eiro gmcharlt, i think we can do better! much better
10:51 mason marc, your website is really great
10:51 eiro gmcharlt, if you read the paul_p email: we would like to try better! create real abstractions business objects must be independant from serialization choice and from http mecanics
10:51 mason its been a while since i last visited
10:52 eiro mason, kidding ?
10:52 i thanks
10:52 mason no, im not kidding  ;)
10:52 eiro thanks mason :)
10:53 chris i think there are lots of good ideas out there, but id love the blockers in 3.2 fixed first before we get ahead of ourselves
10:53 mason left #koha
10:54 chris i mean currently we cant upgrade from 3.0.x to 3.2.0 reliably, so theres no way we can release
10:58 eiro chris, that's one of the reason on this proof: i don't break the koha code. i can go on debbuging while you patch the blockers
10:59 kmkale I have a query regarding creating a new suvbscription Home › Serials  › New subscription > Create Biblio a nedw window opens where I create a biblio with serials framework. Then I am presented with a screen for adding items. Shouldn't I be taken back to the new subscription page? or should I go ahead and add an item here?
11:01 chris eiro: i need help from the people who created the blockers

11:17 jdavidb :)  thanks, cait.  I'm prepared to sell a teenager this morning, very cheap.  Half the proceeds to go to scholarships for folks to get to KohaCon, half to buy me a big bottle of bourbon...
11:17 chris hehe
11:19 gmcharlt jdavidb: tell her she doesn't shape up, she'll have to go through every single bit of POD in Koha, fixing typos along the way ;)
11:19 cait uh... I have no room, sorry... :)
11:19 jdavidb hmm..
11:19 chris ill have my own teenagers in 10 years or so
11:20 jdavidb she will already be greatly pissed at me when she gets home from school and discovers that her Interwebs aren't workin'.

11:33 jwagner joined #koha
11:35 kmkale when I create a new subscription and try to receive the status drop down is greyed out. When I go to serial collection the notes field shows expired although the end date shown is next year. I cant change the status to arrived unless I dont go and manually renew the subscription. Is this normal?
11:37 cait no, its a bug
11:39 kmkale bug 3076?
11:39 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3076 normal, P5, ---, paul.poulain, NEW, receiving serials has options greyed out
11:40 cait bug 5286?
11:40 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5286 was not found.
11:40 cait bug 4286
11:40 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4286 normal, PATCH-Sent, ---, gmcharlt, REOPENED, Subscription expired at its creation
11:41 cait thats the one I thought of, have not tested it myself yet
11:42 kmkale cait how did you manage to get the bug number so fast?
11:42 cait I searched for subscription in bugzilla
11:46 kmkale aahh i searched for serials and the list was huge :)
11:47 but 4286 is precisely  what I am experiencing including the duplication
11:48 cait normal and patch-sent seems not right
11:49 kmkale this install is git. is there a way I can check if that patch is in my local files?
11:50 like a git command which checks the commit number etc?
11:51 munin New commit(s) kohagit: Disable a new site created with --request-db. <http://git.koha-community.org/[…]0ff94be2846dc57cd>
11:51 Amit left #koha
11:51 cait kmkale: nicole wrote the bug reappeared, so I think the patch was sent for the first problem perhaps
11:51 kmkale oh.
11:53 frederic1 I can confirm eiro assumption about integration of dancer framework with Koha
11:54 I even have an OPAC bases on it somewhere as a proof of concept, if someone is intersted
11:54 An OPAC can be coded in 100 lines of code.
11:56 cait I think its great to talk about new things, but more important now is fixing bugs like 4286
11:56 we cant release 3.2 with such bugs
11:56 chris cait++
11:57 cait and Im quite sure there are more things like that ... and even bugs we have not found yet
11:57 so testing and bug fixing should have first priority now
11:58 kmkale a quick eyeballing of C4/Serials.pm shows that patch is not in latest head..
12:02 munin New commit(s) kohagit: bug 4445: Upping the daily limit for XISBN <http://git.koha-community.org/[…]141fea192b81fb0d1> / bug 4445 update OCLC text tips on preferences <http://git.koha-community.org/[…]2d66747148ba988a6> / bug 4834 split joined preferences <http://git.koha-community.org/[…]b69a32a91c79fc9e7
12:06 kmkale humm that patch does not apply.. error: patch failed: C4/Serials.pm:987
12:11 frederic1 Prioritizing things, I can even say that I have a lot of other things to do prior 3.2...
12:11 CGI642 left #koha
12:12 frederic1 The difficulty to integrate new code into Koha is a real issue and a priority. Biblibre acquisition module integration is a good example of how difficult it can be. 3.2 release issues comes directly of koha design. Re-design, re-set up Koha is a priority.
12:12 chris flawed development procedures caused most of the integration problems
12:13 frederic1 new developments should be pushed quicker as git branches
12:13 not quicker, immediatly
12:14 chris as separate branches
12:14 Nate joined #koha
12:14 chris not piled into one big then then tried to be merged
12:17 owen joined #koha
12:18 kmkale cris how do you test the individual branches?
12:19 ^^ chris
12:19 chris there is a good email from reed on the devel list about how we do it at my work
12:19 we have rolling merges
12:20 any conflicts, the developers who caused the conflict are notified immediately, if it merges clean
12:20 then testing is done, if it passes testing it gets marked safe for the release, and is merged into master
12:20 jwagner We're using a tool called Rally to schedule work and identify priorities.
12:20 kmkale i read that but as usual was over my head ;)
12:21 chris i propose that every thing (feature or bug) should have a bug in bugs.koha-community.org
12:21 kmkale what I meant was in a dev install is it possible to individually test branches?
12:21 chris and should have a branch named after that bug
12:21 yes
12:22 if you want to test it by itself, you check it out and test it
12:22 kmkale how since the code changed in a branch is still in the same koha dev install tree
12:23 chris precisely
12:23 so now you are running the code in the branch
12:24 kmkale so what koha *sees* is the checked out branch? way too cooooolll
12:24 chris yep
12:24 easy peasy
12:24 kmkale omg
12:25 chris now every branch should have tests for the feature or the bug you just fixed too
12:25 and those tests should of course pass
12:25 kmkale chris by test i mean run koha with it, not perl tests.
12:25 chris yep
12:25 both work
12:26 kmkale wow. gr8
12:26 chris the only gotcha is if the branch changes the db, but for testing you would start with a clean db dump anyway
12:27 because part of the test, is testing the db upgrade
12:28 collum joined #koha
12:28 kmkale so the file/s i have changed should be added with git add to that branch for this magic to work?
12:28 chris if you have changed them you are running them already
12:28 in a dev install
12:29 this is more for checking out someone elses changes to test them, but yes you should do your changes in their own branch
12:29 kmkale yes but thats true for all branches isn't it? a file changed in one branch is run by koha irrespective of the branch checked out
12:30 chris when you checkout a branch you get a copy of all the files in that branch
12:30 if you have local uncommitted changes, git will refuse to checkout a different branch until you commit
12:30 kmkale brb
12:31 chris once you checkout you are running the files as they exist in that branch
12:32 chris_n g'morning
12:32 chris basically i think if we institute the suggestions lars has made, life will suddenly get easier for everyone
12:33 * owen agrees. A very sane and modest list
12:35 cait lars++
12:35 chris_n larsw++
12:36 cait @karma lars
12:36 munin cait: Karma for "lars" has been increased 2 times and decreased 0 times for a total karma of 2.
12:36 cait @cait karma larsw
12:36 @karma larsw
12:36 munin cait: Karma for "larsw" has been increased 24 times and decreased 0 times for a total karma of 24.
12:36 cait: Error: "cait" is not a valid command.
12:36 chris_n I think the suggestions by larsw are an excellent goal for the very near term
12:36 hdl_laptop chris : with koha as it stands now, it is quite difficult to have one branch per dev.
12:36 chris i dont agree
12:36 chris_n hdl_laptop: how so?
12:38 chris we already do it
12:38 hdl_laptop if you work with circulation it also affects holds.
12:38 chris yes
12:39 hdl_laptop If you work on biblios, it affects items.
12:39 And items affect biblios
12:39 chris i didnt say one branch per module
12:39 hdl_laptop The problem is that if you have one branch per feature, then the merging will eventually be messy.
12:39 jwagner Right -- when we're working on a feature, it might touch files in patrons, circ, holds, etc., but it's one devel branch.
12:40 chris_n the sole benefit of multiple branches is ease of merging
12:40 chris way way wya less messy than 200 commits on one branch
12:40 chris_n not module development isolation
12:40 hdl_laptop I tried to do one branch per bug.
12:40 chris and if one branch is rejected, it doesnt mean the whole thing is rejected
12:40 chris_n we are talking about two different levels of logistics
12:40 hdl_laptop But prove to  to be a horror for integration and tests.
12:41 chris thats not our experience
12:41 chris_n hdl_laptop: how's that?
12:41 chris we currently have 958 branches
12:41 on a codebase much larger than koha
12:41 hdl_laptop But not koha codebase.
12:41 chris no we only have 47 on koha currently
12:42 we'll catch up
12:42 :)
12:43 chris_n hdl_laptop: how is integration and testing a horror?
12:43 Colin joined #koha
12:43 cait interesting discussion, hate to leave :( but train wont wait - bye all!
12:43 cait left #koha
12:44 chris_n @later tell cait you need to meet bip the irc proxy
12:44 munin chris_n: The operation succeeded.
12:44 chris_n hdl_laptop: testing happens on that branch; integration happens after testing by merging back into master (or whatever)
12:45 hdl_laptop integrated branch has to be tested also
12:45 chris_n conflict resolution is minimized by only having a single small set of changes to deal with at merge time rather than possibly hundreds
12:45 of course
12:46 jwagner We do isolation testing on each development branch, then a full top-to-bottom testing after the branch is integrated into the main code, to make sure the new feature didn't affect anything else unexpectedly.
12:46 chris your branch should have a unit test, that should keep passing once its integrated
12:46 hdl_laptop chris_n: that was my ultimate goal But I had bothe bug fixes and developments.
12:46 chris_n but we are talking here about breaking down the size of the change sets to get them more manageable
12:46 and with larsw 's thoughts on automated testing of master, that is done w/o much effort
12:47 chris yep, time is always the enemy, but in the long run small branches save time
12:47 * chris_n agrees strongly
12:47 chris but you are right there is overhead in shifting to that development model
12:47 hdl_laptop I donot argue. We all have the same goal. We all agree.
12:48 But the fact is that 3.2 is late and fault is not only ours.
12:48 chris_n I think before we introduce major changes into the code structure, we have to fix the workflow issues
12:48 chris nope, but whose fault it is doesnt matter
12:48 chris_n or it *will* become a horror
12:48 hdl_laptop I agree.
12:48 chris who is going to fix the blockers so we can release
12:48 is what matters
12:49 hdl_laptop I am willing to do. And I have this goal.
12:49 chris timebased releases only work if there are no blockers in master .. we need to fix those, and try and make sure they dont happen again then we can move to time based .. imho
12:49 * chris is willing to help too
12:50 hdl_laptop We also have customers. and have to meet their requirements. and answer their daytoday queries.
12:50 * chris_n plans to put time on the 3.0.x to 3.2.x upgrade issues over the next few days
12:50 chris yep, unfortunately so does everyone
12:51 hdl_laptop could we try and organize some meeting about that ?
12:51 chris would be good to have a 3.2 blocker squashing session
12:52 chris_n hdl_laptop: what would the meeting address?
12:53 hdl_laptop tests and modules repartition between us.
12:53 Nate_ joined #koha
12:54 chris_n hdl_laptop: I think such a meeting would be good maybe after a few more days of mailing list discussions
12:55 hi Nate_
12:55 hdl_laptop No problem, but if all the three of us work on the same part, i think it is quite a shame.
12:55 chris hdl_laptop: are you talking specifically to do with 3.2?
12:55 chris_n hdl_laptop: I agree with that thought in principle
12:56 chris yes i agree, we should discuss what we are working on so we dont duplicate effort (for the 3.2 blockers)
12:56 Nate_ Hi Chris_n!
12:56 hdl_laptop only 3.2
12:56 chris_n hdl_laptop: which is why I'd love to see a system of RFC's *and* more responses when RFCs are posted
12:56 chris hi Nate_
12:56 chris_n: hdl is talking about the blockers for 3.2
12:56 Nate_ and chris, and hdl_laptop
12:56 * chris_n thinks too often when RFCs are posted there is little discussion which follows
12:56 Nate_ :)
12:57 hdl_laptop chris_n: i would too.
12:57 chris chris_n: so a meeting for us to work out who is working on what
12:57 chris_n ahh... well a meeting for blockers would be good
12:57 tomascohen joined #koha
12:57 chris_n and a meeting to fix blockers would be good too :)
12:57 chris :)
12:57 but not now, cos its getting late
12:57 hdl_laptop But again it is developer's responsability to post RFCs, and community's to discuss.
12:58 chris_n right and we need the participation of *both*
12:58 chris yep
12:58 Colin discussion seems to approach zero on most rfcs
12:58 chris_n correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that most RFCs get little discussion by the community atm
12:59 what Colin said :)
12:59 hdl_laptop Colin: unfortunately.
12:59 chris yep, we need to figure out how to stimulate the discussion
13:00 hdl_laptop But saying stricter coding guidelines or introducing Object model are just ideas.
13:00 jwagner I think that may be because the RFC page is a "passive" approach.  People have to know it exists, go looking for anything of interest, then comment.
13:00 chris_n first order of business, however, needs to be getting blockers fixed and 3.2 out the door
13:00 chris i vote that if you complain about something, but never said anything when it was RFC phase
13:00 we get to throw tomatoes at you
13:00 jwagner Discussion on the mailing list or as followup to a bugzilla entry gets sent out to everyone.
13:00 chris_n chris++
13:01 chris i have all my best ideas at 1am
13:01 chris_n if we use bugzilla for RFC's it could automatically mail the dev list I think... chris?
13:01 chris yes
13:01 if we set the dev list as qa contact
13:01 or default cc
13:01 chris_n that would kill two birds with one stone so to speak
13:01 Colin We need a stimulus because there is no discussion now people expect none in the future
13:02 Nate left #koha
13:02 Nate_ is now known as Nate
13:02 * chris_n apologizes to non-english speakers for the colloquialism
13:02 chris i agree with jwagner that there has to be more fanfare
13:02 collum We could set a little time aside in monthly meetings for open discussion of RFCs.
13:02 jwagner using bugzilla +1 -- if people see a message comming across, they are at least aware of the suggested feature
13:03 hdl_laptop For design purpose, I think that wiki is more handy than mailing list
13:03 chris but you have to announce it on the mailing list
13:03 lots of ppl dont check the wiki everyday
13:03 chris_n and it needs to be in bugzilla
13:03 chris and yes in bugzilla
13:03 even if its a link to the wiki page
13:04 * chris_n wonders if updates to a page in the wiki could trigger a post to the list?
13:04 chris and we should take the lead
13:04 and start commenting
13:04 chris_n yup
13:04 chris even if its just, i think this is a good idea
13:05 so that ppl can see discussion happening
13:05 and then we can tazer those who dont follow suite
13:05 * chris will have to go to sleep soon, before his ideas get even more ridiculous
13:05 chris_n often the best people to scare up problems are those who know nothing about the thing in question
13:06 chris its true
13:06 * chris_n imagines an in-screen tazer
13:06 hdl_laptop good night chris
13:06 chris_n sleep well chris
13:06 chris have a good day all

14:07 jwagner owen, online?
14:07 owen Yes
14:08 jwagner I got your note from the other day, thanks.  Sorry I didn't respond yesterday -- it's another week of virtually nonstop meetings.  Looks like we'll need to update the XSLT file at some point.
14:09 I have another problem relating to trying to use multiple URLs ( http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]rfaces_by_URL_RFC )
14:09 I did that patch to allow the Koha syspref to use an auxiliary stylesheet on a remote server
14:09 Bug 4447
14:09 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4447 enhancement, P5, ---, chris, NEW, Allow external URL/storage location for XSLT stylesheets
14:10 saorge joined #koha
14:10 jwagner However, even if that's in place, the apache setup doesn't pay any attention to it.  It wants to look for the specified stylesheet under the opac-tmpl directory tree.
14:10 I have our programmers looking at that, but has anyone solved that problem yet?  Save us reinventing the wheel....
14:11 sekjal joined #koha
14:11 jwagner (sorry, Bug 4394 instead)
14:11 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4394 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, chris, NEW, opaccolorstylesheet syspref won't allow an external URL
14:11 owen jwagner: I think you inherited all the major users of the multi-opac feature
14:12 jwagner :-(
14:12 It's going to take someone who knows apache to figure that part out, I think.  But hope springs eternal....
14:12 cm joined #koha
14:14 cm greetings!  can anybody here give me some pointers on using memcached to improve performance?  we just went live with 3.2 a couple days ago, and we're finding we have a 6-8 second lag on circ transactions.  i'm hoping memcached will help.

14:30 schuster @later tell chris - you are correct passive RFC on wiki people may read, but not comment as they have to "login" to comment, but they also have to GO there to comment.  If you have to "pull" ie go there - it is less likely that people will comment or look at it.
14:30 munin schuster: The operation succeeded.
14:30 schuster When I posted a couple of Enhancements last year - I put them in Bugzilla and sent the link out to the community lists to "review/comment"  a couple of people "voted" on it so at least people saw it.
14:32 If we recieve an email from Bugzilla can we reply to it with comments?  I know you can submit a bug through email and update how about comment?  The couple of notifications I have had that a bug was updated I had to go to bugzilla to read the modification.
14:32 Remember - ...  I pretend to be techie, but am a librarian....

17:01 jcamins_ Will the kittens be revived now?
17:01 owen That's the nice thing about maintaining a separate branch for each bug/feature
17:01 If you keep the branch open until the patch is approved, you'll never lose track
17:09 chris_n these were submitted, but lost in the mailbox shuffle
17:10 * chris_n closed up several blockers
17:11 * sekjal is glad he set his git repo up with separate branches for every bug, development and idea.  makes him feel all savvy.
17:16 owen I think everyone agrees separate branches are good, I think we just don't always agree on what a single feature/bug/dev is.
17:16 sekjal it does get tricky when one piece of work connects to another.

19:13 what do you want to do, search for duplicates?
19:13 jcamins Yeah.
19:14 I found just found a report in the SQL Reports Library way at the end.
19:14 And I was able to change it to search by ISBN.
19:14 cait yes, i think sql is the way to go
19:14 I use a report to find dublicate entries by 001
19:15 jcamins Is that report in the SQL Reports Library on the wiki?
19:22 I just realized something, actually. I really don't want to know what duplicates are in the catalog.
19:22 So never mind that question.
19:24 cait jcamins: ok ;)
19:26 jcamins cait: Did you ever clone my github repository? I somehow messed up our branch on it, but I don't want to rewrite the history if anyone has cloned the repository.
19:27 (and I'm pretty sure you're the only person who is working on related changes)
19:27 cait no - not there yet with git
19:27 jcamins Good.
19:28 cait I did some research on analytics
19:28 jcamins (not good that you aren't there yet, but good that you haven't been messed up by my git inexperience)
19:29 cait phone mom
19:34 I get article data in a separate field from our union catalog
19:35 its not standard, but I could try to translate it for you if you are interested
19:36 I wanted to ask my colleague about the field, but she was on vacation
19:36 jcamins I would definitely be interested.
19:37 cait ok, I will try to get it translated next week
19:38 jcamins Thank you! Take your time.
19:38 cait perhaps i can find you some examples too

20:12 schuster question - so if I use Lars - debian packaging - do I use the install instructions from the get - to install 3.2?
20:12 chris no
20:13 schuster Oh chris...  that wasn't the answer I was looking for...
20:13 chris http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian#To_use
20:14 you read the readme file at debian.koha-community.org
20:14 that tells you to read that page
20:15 schuster yes I read the debian.koha-community .org
20:15 chris and the wiki page?
20:17 schuster Ah I missed the apt-get install koha piece.  So that gets me to alpha1 or alpha2?
20:18 chris neither
20:18 it gets you newer than both
20:18 schuster HEAD?
20:19 chris master
20:19 Until Koha 3.2 is released, the Koha packages will be built from the master branch, for the squeeze-dev pocket. When Koha 3.2 releases, packages for the squeeze pocket will be built from the 3.2 branch.
20:19 schuster thought I might try it tonight and see how far I get.
20:19 Thanks...
20:19 chris well if you arent running debian testing (aka squeeze) probably not that far
20:20 schuster I have downloaded the iso for netinstall squeeze.
20:20 I did read that much... :)
20:20 chris sweet :)
20:21 schuster But that was as far as I had gotten..  Getting close to end of day so thought I would ask about the koha install part.
20:21 which you so kindly answered.
