00:34 ray is there any configuration that i should do to let koha send email messages/notifications?
00:34 pianohackr|work Hi, ray
00:34 (ray)
00:34 (ray)
00:35 ray elow
00:35 pianohackr|work Can you send mails from the server koha is on?
00:36 ray i can't get it? I have a newly installed koha in my server.. what i want is to enable the sending of notifications to the email addresses of patrons when they checked in or checked out books
00:37 pianohackr|work ok
00:37 bgkriegel left #koha
00:37 ray do you have any idea?
00:37 pianohackr|work ray: that was a feature one company announced they were working on; not sure if it ever got submitted
00:38 bgkriegel joined #koha
00:39 ray ahm... so you are saying that the feature of sending notifications is not included in the installer from the koha community?
00:39 pianohackr|work ray: What version of Koha are you running? (More menu at the top, then About Koha)
00:39 ray: not sure, I'm investigating
00:39 ray the latest version from the community.. 3.00.06
00:40 pianohackr|work Ah, ok
00:41 ray I thought it is possible.. I already searched around and saw about nullmailer and cron jobs but i can't figure it out
00:41 pianohackr|work I _think_ it might be in the bleeding edge version, koha 3.2
00:42 ray: the first part would be to make it so your koha server can send any emails at all
00:42 ray ahm.. is there any difference between the bleeding edge version and the stable version?
00:42 pianohackr|work For instance, if your email address is ray@ray.com, try the command
00:42 mail ray@ray.com
00:42 ray: yes, lots
00:42 many new features
00:43 Not quite as well tested, but many major libraries use it
00:43 ray hmm.. so how can i setup my mail... ok i'll try
00:43 pianohackr|work Are you on debian?
00:44 ray ubuntu
00:45 i'm using ubuntu desktop stripped down
00:45 pianohackr|work OK
00:46 There are other chat channels, that will be able to help you with this better
00:46 I'm finding a link
00:46 ray ok tnx
00:47 what mail server should i use?
00:47 pianohackr|work ray: Go to http://webchat.freenode.net/ , enter in your username, then put #ubuntu in the Channels box
00:47 ray: Between exim4, nullmailer and postfix? I would much prefer postfix
00:48 ray ahm.. have you used postfix before?
00:48 pianohackr|work Yes
00:48 I use it for our library
00:48 Because of... stuff, with our ISP, I have to use Dyn's Mailhop outbound service
00:48 You might not have to, though
00:49 bgkriegel left #koha
00:50 ray ahm ok.. i'll try
01:15 pianohackr|work: have you enabled the email message sending feature of koha upon configuring postfix?
01:15 pianohackr|work ray: I have not tried using the particular feature you're asking about
01:16 I use cronjobs to send emails for overdue and lost items, but not on checkout and checkin
01:16 ray ok

02:30 Mongolia Hi all, I have ansi MARC file from Softlink Alice software. I uploaded ansi MARC file to KOHA. It worked. Now I have a problem, how we can convert our ANSI MARC file into UNICODE MARC file. Please, any suggesstion? Thank you.
02:32 English book's MARC file succesfully uploaded to KOHA. Now we are looking information on conversion ANSI MARC file to UNICODE MARC file?
02:33 If you have any advise or suggestion, please, send me to ubplibrary@gmail.com
02:35 chris Mongolia: you are probably better off asking on the mailing list, it has a much wider audience

11:51 Elwell si - reason for locally hosting rather than say pointing dns to freenode or equivalent?

12:33 si elwell: no sensible reason
12:33 Katipo has run its own ircd for many years
12:33 like, about 15
12:34 and for us it's been good to have it local to cut down no lag
12:34 as NZ is 150ms from the rest of the Internet
12:34 but that's not a particularly compelling argument for koha to use irc.katipo
12:35 as most of the users are at the other end of the ircd
12:37 I'd be neither offended nor suprised if the koha community decided to move their chat to  one of the big networks
12:37 OTOH, I'm quite happy to continue to host it on ours
12:40 Personally, I quite like having it here - I'd never catch up with Chris or Jo if #koha wasn't here
12:41 I'd probably have to buy him lunch instead...

13:12 was there a problem with the irc server earlier today?

13:15 kmkale aahh hi kf
13:15 hi jdavidb
13:15 hi chris
13:16 jdavidb hi, kmkale!  :D
13:16 kmkale so ready for the blast off WC?
13:16 I am home and in front of TV ;)
13:17 kf still at work
13:17 start time is 4 pm here
13:18 kmkale for us the 1st matches are perfect 7.30pm. second are a bit late 11.50opm
13:21 a quick poll of WC favourites in #koha?
13:23 kf will not say Germany
13:24 kmkale :) for me its portugal as there is no chance India will make it in my lifetime
13:25 kf I hear a lot of people say argentina
13:25 kmkale messi..

13:28 * jdavidb is soooo not-a-sports-fan.
13:29 kmkale jdavidb: thats because you dont like brain switched off kinda actvities
13:29 jdavidb My first hint that the World Cup was coming up was that the DC City Council passed a temporary ordinance to allow bars to be open and serve booze at odd hours, to suit the folks who wanted to watch in sports bars...
13:30 too true, kmkale.  I don't sit and passively watch things much.
13:30 kmkale gr8 councellors you got there. here the bar owners just need to take care of the police which they anyway regualrly
13:31 collum ditto on sports. I was in Kentucky for two months before I figured out that the UK stickers on people's cars meant University of Kentucky and not United Kingdom.
13:33 bigbrovar left #koha
13:35 jdavidb I can kind-of follow an interesting storyline that crops up occasionally in sports (like the whole Is-Caster-Semenya-a-man-or-a-woman? story recently), but the sport itself is rarely the storyline for me.  I'm ashamed to admit that I followed WCW professional wrestling for a while.  Not for the matches, which were kinda same-ol after a while, but the odd storylines.
13:40 kmkale i love to watch most sports except stuff like golf
13:40 collum I do follow the Reds and go to a game every other week.  Cincinnati also has a roller derby team, which sounds like fun, but I have not yet attended a match.
13:41 jdavidb I want to go see the DC Rollergirls roller derby some time; it looks like a lot of fun.
13:41 kmkale :))
13:42 kf jdavidb: yes, storylines are the interesting part. and sometimes it's fun to watch with friends in a public place - because of the people there
13:42 jdavidb I discovered that baseball is a lot of fun, if the CEO rents out the skybox and provides all the crab, hot dogs, hamburgers, and ice cream you care to eat...  Company parties are a win.
13:43 kmkale aww I am talking about TV here. thats when you can truly switch off your brain..
13:43 jdavidb I went to my first NBA game about three years ago, kf, and people-watching was the best part.  Watching the fans act goofy was kinda entertaining.
13:48 kf yes :)
13:48 i never was at a live game
13:49 but they set up beamers and screens here and call it 'public viewing'
13:52 joetho joined #koha
13:53 joetho good morning/afternoon/evening/night
13:53 I can't find the report wiki on the new web site
13:53 the one where users contributed unique reports
13:54 listing the function and sql query used
13:58 kf search for report
13:58 thats what I did yesterday
13:58 joetho http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]L_Reports_Library
13:58 searching didn't work for me
13:59 but I found it listed in "Tips n Tricks"
13:59 kf 2nd result in the result list for a search with report
13:59 I really liked our old dokuwiki :(
14:01 kmkale kickoff :
14:02 joetho I am not used to the new one yet
14:02 but I WILL BE SOON
14:03 kf positive thinking?
14:04 oh
14:07 very strange things happen when I pay my fines
14:08 I paid a 4.50 fine, but only 1.50 got paid - it consists of three 1.50 fines, paid again - 1.50 paid
14:08 so 1.50 is left
14:11 ok, I dont want to think about this before monday - will go home and watch the game
14:11 bye all

15:18 My regular expression abilities do not extend to pretty-printing SQL.
15:24 fredericd joined #koha
15:31 jcamins I decided to just save it. I feel it's an improvement even without pretty-printing. If others disagree, they can always revert my changes.

16:08 Anyway
16:09 I'm thinking of submitting our library's change of the pendingreserves.pl default time period from 2daysago-yesterday to 10yearsago-today
16:09 Works better for us, but I can leave it a local patch if there's a good reason

16:27 jwagner pianohack, if you're talking about the holds to pull list, I did the change that went from 10 years to 2 days -- Bug 2368 .  This might be a candidate for a locally-configurable setting like a syspref?
16:27 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=2368 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, gmcharlt, RESOLVED FIXED, Holds to Pull Report filters back 10 years - can it be less

16:58 pianohack jwagner_l: I might just leave it as a local patch
16:58 We have too many sysprefs already (I wrote up most of them!)
16:59 Didn't quite understand why you wouldn't want to show old or new holds on the holds to pull list
16:59 But this could be one of those things where I'm really happier not knowing

17:00 jwagner The complaints I got from several sites were that they run this report every day or several times a day -- they only want to see the current stuff.
17:00 The option is still there to select a longer time range, it's just not the default any more.
17:01 mib_k9uxb I can't seem to install "PDF::API2::Simple" or "Graphics::Magick".  Anyone else having this problem?
17:03 ColinC PDF::API2::Simple requires Module::Install otherwise the build fails at the first command
17:04 mib_k9uxb trying it now.  thx =)
17:07 ColinC Graphics::Magick should be installed if you install the graphics magick development libraries (i.e. it is not on CPAN)
17:10 mib_k9uxb I did a cpan install of Module::Install and then I tried a cpan install of PDF::API2::Simple and it says '/usr/in/perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=sit' returned status 512, won't make Running make test  Make had some problems, won't test  Running make install  Make had some problems, won't install
17:11 sorry that's /usr/bin/perl  and INSTALLDIRS=site'

17:33 mib_k9uxb thank you for your time
17:37 ColinC mib_k9uxb: the error sounds like what you get if Module::Install is not there. can you build it in a fresh directory
