17:58 pianohack Hi, chris_n
17:58 chris_n question about the systempreference table in light of the new editor
17:59 are the systempreference.options and systempreference.explanation fields still used?
17:59 or just variable, value, and type?
18:00 * chris_n is hacking up some local prefs code

18:18 pastebot "chris_n" at 71.50.127.34 pasted "system preference types" (17 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/26
18:18 chris_n chris, gmcharlt, whoever, are all of those types correct?
18:18 * chris_n wonders about NULL
18:19 gmcharlt yeah, there shouldn't be a null type
18:19 chris_n and the blank as well
18:19 gmcharlt also, Upload isn't supported at present
18:19 chris_n should 'free' be capitolized?
18:20 capitalized even
18:21 gmcharlt doesn't matter, really, except for consistency
19:19 chris chris_n++

19:31 Steven joined #koha
19:31 Steven anybody there?
19:31 i m unable to run fines.pl under crontab
19:31 chris do you get an error message?
19:31 Steven nope...
19:32 is shown installing
19:32 chris what else is in your crontab, and do they run?
19:32 Steven but when the loan is overdue.....and when i check in tat time....overdue fines still remain zero
19:33 this is my step to edit the crontab
19:33 1. run terminal 2.type "crontab -e"
19:34 key in "* * * * * usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/fines.pl
19:34 chris um
19:35 Steven then i check out a book with selected date......then i changed the system date to make it overdue....
19:35 chris its not desinged to be run continuously, just once a day
19:36 Steven i m just wondering should i need to modify fines.pl b4 i run it in crontab?
19:36 chris no
19:36 but you will need to set environment variables
19:36 look at misc/cronjobs/crontab.example
19:36 Steven enlighten me pls
19:37 chris and also, running it multiple times a day will result in bad behaviour, so once you get it running you certainly dont want to be doing that
19:38 Steven i have used the example given "5 1 * * * usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/fines.pl"
19:38 so which mean the fines.pl will run at 1:05am everyday, right?
19:38 chris yep
19:39 Steven ok.....and wat the meaning of fines grace day in circulation rules?
19:39 chris PERL5LIB and KOHA_CONF are the 2 variables you need to set
19:40 thats how many days an item is overdue before a fine is applied
19:40 Steven ops....i put 14 days.....it is the reason fines.pl not working?
19:41 chris well, there could be lots, if you dont have those 2 variables set, it wont run
19:42 and yes if you have 14 it wont put a fine on for 2 weeks
19:42 Steven how to set the 2 variables actually?
19:42 chris did you look at that crontab.example?
19:43 Steven bcoz i dont really understand what is stated in crontab.example
19:46 pls guide me step by step
19:46 chris i have to take my son to football, im running out of time
19:46 cait steven: normally you dont need to change the example
19:46 Steven just a simple step will do
19:47 cait you just have to get your configuration right and use the crontab as in the example
19:47 Steven anybody just guide me on it
19:47 cait have you set your conditions?
19:47 Steven so wat is the files tat i need to pre-configure actually?
19:47 condition?
19:48 i have set the circulation rules under system pref
19:49 cait http://koha-community.org/docu[…]?ch=x3206#AEN3449
19:49 you dont need to pre-configure any files
19:49 you need to have loan conditions with fines set up
19:50 Steven i have checked out a book with selected date.....then i change the system date to make it bcome overdue
19:50 cait and run the conjob once a day
19:50 ok, what is your grace period?
19:50 Steven i put it 1 day
19:50 cait ok
19:50 Steven fines day is wat?
19:50 cait fines interval?
19:50 dont use that if you use fines
19:50 leave it blank
19:51 Steven interval is 1
19:51 cait its used by french libraries to suspend a user, its used instead of fines
19:51 ok
19:51 no fine days set?
19:51 and check your sys prefs - search for fines
19:52 finesmode must be set to production to generate fines
19:53 Steven2 joined #koha
19:55 Steven2 i m steven
19:55 so is there anything set wrongly with my circulation rules?
19:55 fines day leave it blank?
19:56 Steven left #koha
19:58 Steven2 anybody?
19:59 cait yes
19:59 leave fine day blank
20:00 but more importatn: administration > sys prefs finemode
20:00 set finemode to production
20:00 with your settings of fine interval 1 and grace period 1 you should get a fine 2 days after the due date
20:00 so if the due date is today, first fine is set on tuesday
20:01 the calendar can also be important, check for holidays and your syspref settings how to deal with that
20:01 a search for fine in the syspref editor will bring up the importatn settings
20:02 Steven2 so i have set "5 4 * * * usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/fines.pl"
20:03 so the fines.pl will run at 4.05am everyday?
20:04 cait Im dont know about the right setting, never changed them
20:04 ok, I dont know how the time setting in cron jobs work
20:04 I took them as they werw
20:04 and for testing i start fines.pl manually
20:05 Steven2 manually?
20:05 u mean u click the file manually everyday?
20:05 cait no, for testing I start it manually, but in production we run it as a cron job
20:06 Steven2 so the fines only will be calculated once u check in?
20:06 cait no
20:06 koha generates fines by calendar, they are added to the account when the cron job is run
20:08 Steven2 just tested.....i m not sure the crontab run or not....
20:08 but the book shown overdue....but fines show nothing....
20:09 cait what is the due date?
20:09 Steven2 due date is on 12/7.....i have change my system time to 15/7
20:10 i checked the patron summary....item is overdue...but fines column show nothing
20:10 cait have you set holidays in your calendarß
20:10 Steven2 nope....didnt set anything at all
20:11 cait finemodeß
20:11 finemode?
20:12 Steven2 production
20:12 cait ok, im out of ideas
20:12 that should work, perhaps something wrong with your crontab
20:12 cait left #koha
20:13 Steven2 what is the problem with my crontab?
20:14 first time when i set the crontab.....there got some sample there like "# f d..... command" i delete it oriti
20:15 so i replaced with my setting "15 4 * * * usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/fines.pl"
20:16 m i wrongly set?
20:16 cait joined #koha
20:17 cait sorry, battery low
20:17 Steven2 m i set wrongly?
20:17 cait ?
20:17 I would check my settings by running fines.pl manually
20:17 If fines are set, you know everything is right in koha
20:18 and you just have to get the cronjob right
20:18 but its late here, time to sleep for me
20:18 Steven2 first time when i set the crontab...there got some sample like "# f d.... command " i deleted it oriti
20:18 cait I dont know much about the crontrabs
20:19 cron jobs... ok, really tired.
20:20 bye all
20:20 cait left #koha
20:20 Steven2 anybody there can help me
20:24 Steven2 left #koha

21:30 magnus joined #koha
21:33 magnus @later tell Steven there's a missing slash in your cron command, try something like "15 4 * * * /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/fines.pl" - /usr/share... not usr/share...
21:33 munin magnus: The operation succeeded.
21:34 magnus in case he comes back or reads the log...
21:48 brendan joined #koha
