11:47 jwagner Morning
11:59 owen joined #koha
12:07 owen That news about software patents in NZ was the first thing I read this morning.
12:08 Nice to read some good news
12:08 I see this in the log from [my] last night: http://facil.qc.ca/enbref/%EF%[…]iblioth%C3%A8ques
12:08 Has anyone heard of this SYS-TECH before?

12:50 * druthb waves to schuster
12:52 owen schuster: I saw in the log you were asking cookie questions, and as a matter of fact I do have some advice
12:53 Putting frosting on a monster cookie is just too much. It's not worth it.
12:53 It's like making rice krispie treats with fruity pebbles. Overkill.
12:53 schuster Hey Ruth...  Looking forward to our discussion today on the phone...
12:53 * druthb didn't know she'd been scheduled for one.
12:53 schuster Oh but they would be soooo colorful!
12:54 druthb (Not that I mind talking to you or anything, schuster.  It's just that no one has attempted to get onto my calendar about you.)
12:54 schuster owen - the reason I bring this up is the ability with 3 different levels and 68 schools to limit some of the default results on the opening Mainuserblock.
12:55 With a cookie that is set as they go to the pac it would allow me to display/search for things specifically at their location.  So if we wanted to highlight a particular research topic and what is available or
12:56 Top-use books at that particular school.  Even to change the Koha logo to their school logo...  Making it "seem" more one site ish.
12:56 owen schuster: You could do the same content swap in opacmainuserblock that the header does--showing and hiding content based on the css
12:56 schuster Not to mention my boss wants something more flashy - 21st century...
12:57 owen - But that would be level specific not campus specific, but still a thought...
12:57 druthb - Amy indicated that you would have a test server up and ready for me so that was what I was refering to.  She indicated that I would use the same one, and I had no idea I already had one.
12:59 druthb yep; I'm indexing right now; your test server didn't look like it'd been messed with much in a while-- really, *really* old stuff in there.  May not have all the stylesheets up and breathing by this afternoon, but will be makin' progress on that.
12:59 schuster I'm trying to work within confines and my limitations technologically on what I can do know how webwise(which isn't much...)
13:04 saw the patent post wonder how that works with trademarks?
13:07 owen I don't think it has any connection to trademarks
13:16 collum joined #koha
13:25 owen When you send a cart from the OPAC it includes a link back to the OPAC for each record.
13:25 When you send a cart from the staff client, should it link back to the staff client or the OPAC?

13:29 jcamins Good morning, #koha
13:30 sekjal morning, jcamins!
13:31 schuster hmm owen - I would think the opac otherwise you would be expecting everyone to have staff access but if you build a cart in staff chances are you are sending it to a NON staff member.(teachers in my case)
13:31 owen That was my thought as well--that the staff might be sending carts to patrons
13:37 Lazyweb request: Can someone please create a bookmarklet that will take me from an OPAC record to the corresponding  record in the staff client?
13:39 schuster Can't the staff member just change the url at the beginning to a staff url making it change?

13:57 owen hdl here?
13:58 hdl here
13:58 tomascohe hi, what script do I need for a database upgrade?
13:58 updatedatabase30.pl or updatedatabase.pl
13:58 ?
13:58 owen Hi hdl, I'm curious about the moveitem script (cataloguing/moveitem.pl) It doesn't seem to be linked to from anywhere?
14:00 hdl koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/​en/includes/cat-toolbar.inc:        { text: _("Attach Item"), url: "/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/m​oveitem.pl?biblionumber=<!-- TMPL_VAR NAME="biblionumber" -->" },
14:01 owen Ah, my search didn't include .inc files. Thanks!
14:02 schuster http://www.myacpl.org/koha/?p=160 - owen your links are no longer good on this page because liblime.com has secured some places.
14:02 owen Thanks schuster I'll update it now
14:05 nahuel joined #koha
14:05 owen Ooh, nice clean update to the Bern Dibner Library site. I wonder who did it?
14:06 http://poly.kohalibrary.com/
14:06 sekjal owen: oooh, that is nice
14:06 owen That was my example of all-out change-everything customization, and now it's out of date.
14:06 sekjal wonder if that's custom, or standard for LLEK?
14:07 owen Looks custom, I see a lot of embedded CSS from the OpacUserCSS pref
14:08 tomascohe just found that updatedatabase30.pl is for stable and updatedatabase.plis for HEAD

14:10 owen Oh, new 3.0 manual on koha-community.org. I hadn't seen that.

14:27 jwagner owen, that manual was written by students at Wayne State and posted on koha.org -- looks like it was also picked up for koha-community.org
14:28 owen It's obvious why it was chosen as the default 3.0 manual for koha-community.org

16:28 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5013 major, P5, ---, kyle.m.hall, NEW, "New patron" menu button broken on circulation patron select screen

18:17 pianohack hai owen
18:19 owen Hello. I am mean.
18:36 schuster Mean - I didn't think that was in your nature...
18:37 owen yeah, but then I went and told someone to turn off their caps lock. There's no going back.
18:38 jcamins Oh, and here I was trying to figure out the literary reference. Not having ready any John Irving (and not wanting to change that), it was problematic.
18:38 *read
18:39 sekjal I've gotten to the point where my ears hurt, and I cringe, when I read all caps
18:41 owen jcamins: I resisted reading that book for a long time, but when I did I liked it.
18:41 brendan capslock--
18:42 pianohack CAPSLOCK++
18:47 jcamins owen: I went to a reading he gave while I was in college. To say I was a little disturbed by his worldview would be a serious understatement.
18:47 So I won't be reading that book any time soon.
18:48 owen I guess I'm lucky I wasn't there
18:48 jcamins Yep.

19:21 pianohack I'd like to ask some advice on custom modifications, if anyone has any :)
19:21 Trying to either send in my library's custom mods or revert them to the community way before a support handover
19:23 I created a custom inventory tool, before biblibre sent in their mods. It takes a markedly different approach to inventory to theirs
19:23 Merging the two would be rather difficult. What do you recommend, #koha?
19:23 (also a custom print notices tool, but that's so library-specific it may not be worth the effort to send it in
19:26 jcamins pianohack: As a librarian using Koha with local customizations, I would prefer to use the same tool everyone else does, if it can meet my requirements.
19:26 pianohack Okay
19:26 jcamins Check with your librarians first, obviously. Maybe they see things differently.
19:26 pianohack Good to know
19:28 chris owen you about?
19:28 owen Yes
19:29 chris bugzilla isnt hosted at catalyst, its on a linode virtual machine in texas :)
19:29 schuster pianohack - curious about how your Inventory is different?  I'm looking to "enhance" the process some in the future. and I am curious about your custom print notices and what is on them.
19:30 See everything is better in Texas...:O
19:30 pianohack schuster: I will send you a couple screenshots here in the near future :)
19:31 schuster: Except the terrain. Coming from a town surrounded on three sides by hills, I could not tell the two sides of that highway near KohaCon '09 apart for the life of me

19:32 schuster Life is a bit flat here.
19:32 and if they can poor concrete on it they will.
19:34 owen Post updated. Any other comments/corrections welcome, here or on the post itself
19:34 chris very good post :)
19:36 bus time
19:36 schuster post? where?
19:37 owen http://www.myacpl.org/koha/?p=555
19:40 schuster good job...  You might change this -  It’s going into 3.2 as it would be just into the next release wouldn't it?
19:41 owen I don't know, I don't mind that it's placed in the context of now.
19:47 chris Back from the bus
19:47 schuster Just a suggestion.  In 4 weeks we might be singing 3.4 right?
19:49 chris Well bugs will still be going for 3.2
19:49 francharb left #koha
19:50 chris For 3.2.1 and 3.2.2 etc

20:00 jcamins I think that's the coolest it's been in two weeks.
20:01 chris We might get one day a year that hot
20:01 25 is a hot day
20:02 jcamins That's my kind of weather.
20:02 Yet more reason to want to do my PhD in NZ.
20:04 chris Come to kohacon for a sneak peek
20:04 :)
20:05 jcamins I can't afford it.
20:05 :(
20:06 Unless they have a last-minute ridiculous airfare.
20:06 chris Check virginaustralia
20:06 They had cheap deals, its a new route for them
20:07 chris_n we had a near 41 C day a few weeks back
20:07 * sekjal checks now
20:07 chris_n actually higher than that... about 42 C
20:07 chris Ok bus stop bbiab

20:17 owen Why don't we have sensible error handling for detail pages of missing biblios?
20:17 "detail.pl?biblionumber=some-nonexistent-number"
20:20 chris instead of the 500 ?
20:21 do a 404 like the opac would make more sense to me
20:22 owen The DebugLevel preference affects both opac and staff client right?
20:23 I get an onscreen error message if I try detail.pl with a non-existent biblionumber
20:23 Can't call method "field" on an undefined value at /home/oleonard/kohaclone/C4/Koha.pm line 1217.
20:23 chris yeah
20:23 owen And that's with DebugLevel 0
20:23 chris in the opac
20:23 we check the record exists, if it doesnt 404
20:24 in the staff, we assume it exists and proceed according and asplode
20:24 from the opac
20:24 unless ($record){
20:24 # If we don't have a record, get the hell out, or we will internal server error
20:24 print $query->redirect("/cgi-bin/koha/errors/404.pl");
20:24 exit;
20:24 }
20:24 we need that in details.pl
20:25 in fact
20:25 in the staff side we could redirect to a different page
20:26 but if we dont have a MARC::Record there is no point continuing with the rest of the script

20:42 sekjal okay, that's about what I figured.
20:42 chris seems like there were a few events last year

22:05 pianohack I love it so much

22:06 chris: by the way, do you have any advice on what I might do with our library's custom inventory tool that goes off in a different direction from biblibre's new one?
22:07 chris definitely keep it in git, if and send me a git pull request when you want, ill put it in a new/ branch and we can get people looking/testing ti for 3.4
