08:39 | jt | hi, is there any hardware requirement for a decent koha installation with about 250 simultaneous users? |
08:41 | pastebot | "jt" at 203.115.201.100 pasted "koha goes to crawl/ without current users" (14 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/46 |
08:47 | chris | magnus: i wish you had killed marc before i started working on koha |
08:47 | kf | jt: I don't know, our libraries are quite small and I am not sure what hardware we are using |
08:47 | evening chris :) | |
08:47 | chris | jt: simultaneous librarian users, or people using the opac |
08:48 | magnus | chris: sorry about that, but i guess i have been a librarian about as long as you have worked on koha... ;-) |
08:48 | jt | chris: the current nopaste is a koha server without users using it, but somehow it bring the server to crawl |
08:49 | what is the use of opac-reserver.pl by the way? | |
08:50 | kf | it normally appears when you make a reserve in the opac |
08:50 | or at least it did when I worked on that some time ago | |
08:50 | reserve = hold | |
08:50 | chris | jt: theres no way they should be running that long |
08:51 | 55:34.02 opac-reserve.pl | |
08:51 | jt | is this a bug or server hacked? |
08:51 | chris | not a bug |
08:51 | but unlikely its been hacked | |
08:52 | kf | I had problems with that when my perl code was not right - had to kill the processes |
08:52 | chris | well if you put an infinite loop in it yeah, but if you havent edited opac-reserve.pl its unlikely to be that |
08:52 | more likely mysql is jammed | |
08:52 | jt | the usual approvch to resolve is to restart the server orweb server |
08:53 | but I don't think it will be the cure on the long run | |
08:53 | chris | yeah, thats not so much resolving as postponing :) |
08:53 | kf | chris: I see... you know me ... I always manage to make infinite loops |
08:53 | :) | |
08:54 | magnus | kf: and you still think of yourself as a non-developer? ;-) |
08:55 | kf | magnus: I think this is a good reason to think of me as a non-developer! :) |
08:56 | dagentoob joined #koha | |
08:56 | kf | magnus: it took me about a week to get the code right - and all I wanted to do was to show serial enumeration in the item list for item level holds! |
08:56 | magnus | kf: nah, it shows you try. the name does not say anything about how successfull you are :-) |
08:57 | kf | hmpf. :) |
08:57 | chris | jt: http://markmail.org/message/n6v2sikmud7vdtbb |
08:58 | dagentoob left #koha | |
08:58 | DaGentooB joined #koha | |
08:58 | jt | chris: thanks, I'll try this out |
08:59 | DaGentooB | I am looking at label-item-search.pl and on my installation if there is more then 1 page of results it lists the first 20 and then the rows for the rest and no data. If I try to go to the next page it lists the first 20 and that is it. |
09:00 | I was trying to download the latest from GIT but I clicked on the instructions link on the website and my dns said it couldn't find wiki.koha | |
09:02 | chris | which website? |
09:02 | wasabi | http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]Control_Using_Git |
09:02 | chris | www.koha-community.org is the official koha website, and what wasabi just pasted is the wiki :) |
09:02 | DaGentooB | http://koha.org/download |
09:02 | wasabi | heh, heya chris |
09:02 | Amit | heya wasabi |
09:02 | chris | yeah, dont believe koha.org |
09:03 | wasabi | dagentoob: thats the *old* koha website ;) |
09:03 | davi joined #koha | |
09:03 | chris | its not under the control of the community, but one company, (it used to be community controlled) |
09:03 | chris_n` joined #koha | |
09:03 | chris | so only that one company can update it, and they don't |
09:03 | DaGentooB | oh ok |
09:04 | ok that makes more sense. | |
09:04 | chris | we keep hoping they will return the domain to the community, but they seem more interested in sowing confusion and being hostile instead |
09:04 | wasabi | yes, lots of links on the old koha.org website dont work anymore :( |
09:04 | DaGentooB | now... about label-item-search.pl |
09:05 | any idea why it would be doing that? | |
09:05 | wasabi | and people go there, like you dagentoob, and get confused :( |
09:05 | kf | chris: my coworker has pootle permission problems and I dont see the language list when logged in - something wrong there again? |
09:05 | DaGentooB | I am thinking that the for loop is putting in a row for every result |
09:06 | does anyone else have this problem? | |
09:06 | chris_n left #koha | |
09:06 | kf | chris: ok, correction, I can not login at all and German is empty? |
09:07 | chris | DaGentooB: ive never used the label maker sorry |
09:07 | wasabi | dagentoob: do you have more than 20 labels? |
09:07 | chris | kf: i hope not, but ill look |
09:07 | DaGentooB | yeah I do |
09:07 | kf | chris: I hope it too, but what I see does not look good |
09:07 | DaGentooB | I am hoping to print about 2000 |
09:08 | chris | http://translate.koha.org/de/ |
09:08 | seems fine to me | |
09:08 | wasabi | dagentoob: check your log file, while generating your pdf... |
09:08 | kf | can you check my user? |
09:08 | I can't login and resetting the password always tells me my email address does not exist | |
09:08 | DaGentooB | it isn't the pdf process that is hanging up... it is the search to add them to the batch |
09:09 | chris | first does that look ok? ie is the german all there? |
09:09 | kf | it does |
09:09 | give me a moment | |
09:09 | chris | i can login fine as me |
09:09 | looking at your user now | |
09:09 | wasabi | dagentoob you may have UTF characters that dont map to PDF char, in your label-data |
09:09 | kf | I think I am stupid and my browsers autocomplete landed me on koha-community.org |
09:09 | chris | yeah, that wont work :) |
09:09 | DaGentooB | wasabi: the error is No item numbers retrieved for biblio number: |
09:10 | wasabi | is there an item? |
09:10 | DaGentooB | it looks like anything after 20 isn't getting retrieved |
09:10 | yes I am searching by barcode | |
09:10 | kf | ok, now I only have to find out why my coworker can't edit |
09:11 | wasabi | pass, i cant look right now... |
09:12 | ... just got back from werk | |
09:13 | DaGentooB | $biblioitemnumber isn't getting populated after the first 20 |
09:13 | I get the same 3 errors for each item after 20 | |
09:14 | Use of uninitialized value $biblionumber in hash element, Use of uninitialized value $biblionumber in sprintf, and No item numbers retrieved for biblio number: | |
09:14 | wasabi | yr bibdata is bad? |
09:14 | kf | chris: sorry! It's all working now, I gave her the permissons for German |
09:15 | DaGentooB | no... for some reason the for loop keeps going through results after the first 20 even though the results for that page have been reduced to 20 at a time |
09:15 | wonder what would happen if I just set the for loop to 20.... let me try it | |
09:17 | ok that did work.... it now only displays 20 per page.... | |
09:18 | but it still won't advance to the next page | |
09:18 | wasabi | the form isnt sending a page=2 arg to the script? |
09:19 | DaGentooB | well at the top it lists "Results 61 through 80 of 213" |
09:19 | so at least that part is going through | |
09:20 | davi left #koha | |
09:20 | DaGentooB | forgive my perl ignorance but does $iii have something to do with th $i that the for loop is using? |
09:21 | wait I see | |
09:21 | davi joined #koha | |
09:21 | DaGentooB | ok so $marcresults->[$i] |
09:22 | is pulling the result number from the for loop | |
09:22 | wasabi | theres no current bug for your problem.. |
09:22 | DaGentooB | but the for loop is reset to 0 every time you change a page |
09:22 | wasabi | http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]ng&resolution=--- |
09:23 | DaGentooB | yeah.... I searched before I came here |
09:23 | wasabi | dagentoob if you are keen, you can try to log your problem as a bug... |
09:23 | with good screenshots! | |
09:23 | DaGentooB | k. I will do it once I get it fixed. |
09:23 | I think I am on to something here | |
09:24 | wasabi | i need to return some late DVD's now... :/ |
09:24 | DaGentooB | ok |
09:24 | wasabi | late fees, oww! |
09:28 | jt | I find this very insteresting |
09:28 | pastebot | "jt" at 203.115.201.100 pasted "curious" (9 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/47 |
09:29 | jt | is that mean that wis possible to participate in development iwth very basic programming skill on koha? |
09:34 | paul_p | jt: the koha community is welcoming anyone that want to send a patch ! Of course, your first patches will be examined very carefully & you'll probably have to send them more than once because there will be some changes to do to respect the coding guidelines. But we have 110+ devs, so, feel free to become another one ;-) |
09:34 | kf | jt: it is open source everybody is welcome to help fix bugs and improve koha |
09:35 | paul_p | but we have some librarians that now send patches (about templates or things like that), so it's possible for anyone ! |
09:35 | kf | paul_p: I think this sentence is not so nice about librarians ;) |
09:36 | and I am a librarian... | |
09:36 | paul_p | oups... right ! I wasn't implying librarians are dummies... |
09:36 | kf | you better not ;) |
09:36 | paul_p | or you'll kick my ass in NZ ? :D |
09:37 | kf | something like that yes :) |
09:37 | paul_p | s/it's possible for anyone/you don't need to be a IT guy/ |
09:38 | kf | :) |
09:39 | paul_p | (note that anyone understanding s// immediatly get respect from most developers. Could we consider that as a test ? ;-) ) |
09:39 | more complex test : s/\/\//\/\/\// :D | |
09:41 | kf | regex? |
09:45 | why not test the IT folks for basic library knowledge? :) | |
09:45 | jt | lol |
09:45 | magnus | paul_p: if you are not nice to us librarians we will force you to do bungy jumping on the road trip ;-) |
09:46 | kf | magnus: I like how your mind works :) |
09:46 | magnus | hehe |
09:47 | paul_p | wow... /me start to think about cancelling my trip. too dangerous... :D |
09:48 | kf | so hard to be nice to us? |
09:48 | chris | you make it hard by keeping making us deal with MARC :) |
09:49 | paul_p | chris++ !!!!! |
09:49 | marc-must-die.info, I fully agree !!! | |
09:50 | kf | marc was not my idea... |
09:50 | magnus | chris: good point. let's come up with a better alternative! ;-) |
09:50 | chris | thats what every librarian says, then they say, but everyone else is using it, so we have too |
09:50 | :) | |
09:51 | * paul_p | feel that oneone will move until either LoC, BL or BNF moves. |
09:51 | paul_p | and those 3 old ladies are very slow to move... |
09:52 | magnus | chris, pail_p: sad but true |
09:52 | paul_p | big boats |
09:52 | magnus | paul_p: and they seem to be preoccupied with RDA... |
09:52 | kf | Germany had MAB and is moving to MARC |
09:52 | ... | |
09:53 | magnus | a working prototype of an alternative approach would be sooo good |
09:53 | kf | lunch time - bbl |
09:53 | * magnus | wishes someone would try ripping marc out of e.g. koha and replacing it with e.g. RDF, as a research project |
09:54 | magnus | kf: MAB? |
09:54 | kf | German bibliographic format |
09:54 | MAB2 to be more correct | |
09:54 | it's still widely used around here | |
09:54 | chris | yeah, step backwards to go from MAB to MARC |
09:55 | kf | the problem you have to solve is import - map the new format to marc and all others so you can get data from everywhere |
09:55 | Oak left #koha | |
09:55 | chris | and then a step into UTTER MADNESS to wedge RDA into MARC |
09:55 | kf | they managed to get a lot of the mab things into marc21 |
09:55 | chris | i mean AARC2 was complicated enough |
09:55 | RDA is just mental | |
09:55 | kf | does not make my life easier |
09:55 | ok, coworkers waiting - see you later | |
09:55 | magnus | and RD is closed |
09:55 | chris | seriously, i think ppl forget the entire point of a library system |
09:55 | magnus | have a nice lunch, kf |
09:56 | s/RD/RDA/ | |
09:56 | chris | adding more unused data to the record isnt going to make the opac work better |
09:59 | magnus | chris: sounds logical to me! |
10:05 | * magnus | is off for lunch |
10:27 | kf | back |
10:49 | is it ok to change the text under the koha logo? want to change Open-Source integrated library system to the german translation (without integrated) Open-Source-Bibliothekssystem | |
10:49 | found the .psd file in git :) | |
10:54 | Oak joined #koha | |

14:01 | allowing all lists to be available but only 10 or so viewable in the dropdown at once... make sense? | |
14:01 | * chris_n | recalls seeing such a creature once, but can't remember where |
14:01 | owen | And then a link or control to load the next set of lists? |
14:02 | chris_n | probably so, to avoid the use of js |
14:02 | pastebot | "jcamins" at 66.93.90.115 pasted "Jared's fudge recipe" (13 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/48 |
14:03 | chris_n | owen: but since we can't use ajax stuff in opac, it might not be doable in a nice and clean way |
14:04 | jcamins | kf: unfortunately I use both metric and Imperial measurements. :( |
14:04 | owen | Can't use ajax stuff in the opac? |
14:04 | jcamins | chris_n: why can't we use ajax in the OPAC? |
14:04 | chris_n | I thought we wanted to avoid things that had the potential to cause accessibility problems? |
14:05 | owen | Sure, but it shouldn't keep us from adding features which are useful |
14:05 | We just need to back them up with accessible fallbacks | |
14:08 | The trouble is the accessible fallbacks aren't as fun to develop | |
14:09 | What about keeping the 10 item limit in the popup, but offer a link to "show all" ? | |
14:09 | Or am I underestimating the number of lists some patrons might have? | |
14:10 | For the "show all" view we could use a list of items with radio buttons instead of a <select> | |

14:11 | profmathe | if anyone has time for 2 quick new user questions that i promise i researched first, i'd really appreciate it... |
14:11 | wizzyrea | jcamins: that is made of win |
14:11 | we always have time :) | |
14:11 | profmathe | sweet |
14:11 | first one's easy: is my dns borked or is wiki.koha.org down? | |
14:12 | owen | http://wiki.koha-community.org |
14:12 | profmathe | ah |
14:12 | broken link! | |
14:12 | thx on that one | |
14:12 | owen | PTFS/Liblime uses koha.org for their own purposes |
14:12 | kf | jcamins: I can improvise |
14:12 | jcamins | wizzyrea: I'm glad you like it. |
14:13 | profmathe | second one i hope will be easy: in a fresh install, what would call nullmailer once a minute and how do i configure it? i don't see any MTA options in the admin console |
14:13 | i've killed my forwards in nullmailer so my mail admin doesn't shoot me but i'd actually like it to work | |
14:14 | wizzyrea | probably the holds notices? |
14:14 | profmathe | nothing in catalog, no patrons, brand new install... |
14:15 | wizzyrea | i'm not sure, sorry |
14:15 | profmathe | no prob |
14:15 | wizzyrea | we always have time, not always the answer :/ |
14:15 | profmathe | i might try just installing postfix and forwarding to that |
14:15 | bad form to run home to the product i'm most familiar with, but hey | |
14:16 | briceSanc | hi koha ! |
14:16 | profmathe | just odd that there seems to be no mail option config in the console |
14:16 | jcamins | Can someone confirm that bug 5155 isn't just me doing something dumb? |

14:16 | wizzyrea | nah, most people would probably say that postfix is the mailer of choice |
14:16 | profmathe | well anyway thank you all very much |
14:16 | wizzyrea | no, special characters bork lots of stuff :( |
14:16 | nengard joined #koha | |
14:16 | chris_n | owen: we could do that; along the ajax lines I was thinking of a call back function tied to a "Next 10" sort of link to refresh just the list |
14:16 | kf | jcamins: thx for the recipe! |
14:17 | profmathe | i'll go search the real wiki and get back if i learn anything useful :) |
14:17 | chris_n | I think that we could reasonably count on some patrons having 20-30 lists |
14:18 | or at least the accumulation of that many between private/public/open lists | |

15:15 | * kf | thinks this new module would lead to much progress on different other projects |
15:15 | kf | like the koha cookie flavor :) |
15:17 | * jcamins | thinks all successful open source projects need their own cookie and fudge flavors |
15:18 | jwagner | jcamins, don't forget the ice cream! |
15:18 | jcamins | jwagner: I live in NYC, so I don't have space for an ice cream maker. ;) |
15:18 | owen | Wait--there's an official koha cookie flavor? |
15:18 | jcamins | We're working on it. |
15:19 | owen | Is there a git repo for it? :) |
15:19 | jcamins | Hm, good point. |
15:20 | jwagner | Is there an RFC or bugzilla entry for it? |
15:27 | jcamins | What component should it be filed under? |
15:28 | wizzyrea | definitely enhancement |

15:44 | owen | How's this for motivation? Anyone want to guess how many "FIXME's" there are in the Koha code? |
15:44 | brendan | 1,250 ? |
15:45 | kf | 2364 |
15:45 | owen | Luckily you're both too high |
15:45 | My search found 818 | |
15:46 | (excluding JS) | |
15:47 | 251 of those are "#use warnings; FIXME - Bug 2505" | |

15:49 | owen | I like "FIXME: No Such thing." |
15:49 | and "FIXME - this is cheating on two levels" | |
15:49 | wizzyrea | ok, is it the circulation history |
15:49 | or the reading history | |
15:49 | * wizzyrea | likes consistency in labels |
15:50 | owen | I vote "checkout history" |
15:50 | wizzyrea | it's reading history in the opac and in the header in the staff client |
15:50 | but the tab says "circulation history" | |
15:52 | kf | we use Ausleihhistorie in German, that would be checkout history |
15:53 | wizzyrea | I can go with that, I just want them to all be the same |
15:54 | reading history is more patron friendly | |
15:54 | circulation history is a little librarianish | |
15:54 | checkout history probably would make sense to both | |
15:54 | owen | checkout history is materials-agnostic |
15:54 | wizzyrea | yes, and I think that makes it the winning choice |
15:54 | ok, so tell me | |
15:54 | I have a workflow problem | |
15:54 | (git workflow) | |
15:55 | am I supposed to make one change then commit, or make several related changes then commit? | |
15:55 | < has had this burning question for a while | |
15:55 | owen | The real question is when should you submit the patch |
15:56 | Because you can commit as many times as you want and then squash all the commits together for one patch | |
15:56 | The key is to limit your changes to one very specific feature or bug fix | |
15:56 | But within that scope you can commit many times | |
15:57 | wizzyrea | oh oh |
15:57 | I need to know how to do that | |
15:57 | squashing | |
15:57 | owen you'll be pleased to know that I'm using your workflow :P | |
15:57 | owen | git rebase -i origin |
15:58 | wizzyrea | ah ok that's what that does |
15:58 | owen | That will show you a list of your commits |
15:58 | Keep the first one as "pick" and the rest as "s" (for squash) | |
15:58 | You'll be given the opportunity to edit the commit message for the resulting squashed commit | |
15:58 | wizzyrea | omg that would have saved me yesterday |
15:59 | >.< | |

16:22 | do you like this change? | |
16:22 | http://screencast.com/t/Y2U0N2Ez | |
16:22 | is it helpful to have both current and holding on the detail page? | |

16:23 | munin | jwagner: The operation succeeded. Quote #89 added. |
16:24 | owen | +1 wizzyrea |
16:24 | wizzyrea | I was thinking about it |
16:24 | jwagner | wizzyrea, the earlier discussion on Bug 3262 was mixed, and leaned toward having a syspref control which appeared. |
16:24 | owen | I don't really have an opinion about the code vs. full name question though |
16:24 | munin | 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3262 enhancement, P5, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, OPAC needs syspref to show homebranch instead of current location on detail page |
16:25 | jwagner | I think it could be reframed so that the syspref(s) controlled whether the separate columns appeared so you could have both if you wanted. |
16:25 | owen | I'd rather show both than have a syspref at all |
16:25 | wizzyrea | ^^ and he was the main detractor |
16:25 | in that discussion | |
16:25 | jwagner | code vs full name I think should be a syspref, though -- a lot of sites won't recognize their codes |
16:26 | nengard joined #koha | |
16:26 | jwagner | I'm fine with having both show by default so long as the template is set up properly so you could hide one or the other with jquery |
16:26 | wizzyrea | cool beans. I think it's a better solution than a single column |
16:26 | and, I would need help with the syspref part for the short vs. long codes | |
16:26 | jwagner | And are you talking the same solution for both staff and OPAC view? |
16:27 | wizzyrea | no, I think the OPAC only needs to show one column |
16:27 | because patrons don't need to know where it is | |
16:27 | that one probably should be a syspref | |
16:27 | but I think it should default to home branch | |
16:27 | owen I think disagrees with that, at least according to the bug | |
16:27 | jwagner | wizzyrea, I was looking at this one last week & had some ideas on it, but I wanted to talk to our developers. We could continue that discussion on the codes/description part |
16:28 | When I looked at the code, the same part of Search.pm controls & feeds item data to both staff & OPAC search, so doing different settings would get a little involved. | |
16:28 | kf | I vote for description - we use isil as branch code, it's really ugly :) |
16:28 | ok, time to go home for me - my alter ego will be back later :) | |
16:29 | kf left #koha | |
16:29 | owen | Our patrons want to know where the book *is*, not where it should be. |
16:29 | So if you're going to show only one column in the OPAC and we disagree about which one it is, then it should be a syspref | |
16:30 | wizzyrea | so yea that should be a pref |
16:30 | so in your library, a book can be shelved in any library? | |
16:30 | libraries | |
16:30 | jwagner | And that's where it got complicated -- you'd have to separate out the code in Search.pm depending on whether the search was for staff or OPAC. |
16:31 | (always assuming I'm reading that section of code right) | |
16:31 | owen | wizzyrea: Theoretically |
16:32 | wizzyrea: It's complicated by the fact that automatic transfers don't work properly (i.e. checking in something at the wrong branch and having it be transferred automatically) | |
16:32 | wizzyrea | it shouldn't matter to the search what you show on the detail page |
16:33 | jwagner | During that part of Search.pm is where it's building the item data, though -- filling in the fields for location, itype, etc. |
16:33 | wizzyrea | gotya |
16:33 | jwagner | So to change what gets filled in for branch, you need to specify there |
16:34 | wizzyrea | our most immediate problem re: locations would be solved by the dual columns |
16:34 | incidentally | |
16:34 | re: shortcode | |
16:34 | vs. longcode | |
16:34 | owen maybe you can answer this | |
16:35 | how do you tell the code which to grab? | |
16:35 | I looked at it and couldn't figure it out | |
16:35 | mental map failure. | |
16:36 | dual columns in the intranet, I mean | |
16:36 | the opac problem is one we've lived with for a long time | |
16:38 | owen | I don't understand the question wizzyrea |
16:40 | jwagner | I think I'm back at the same place I was looking at last week, in Search.pm -- current head, line 1541 -- it's doing a check for HomeOrHoldingBranch |
16:40 | * owen | has to run. bbl |
16:40 | owen left #koha | |
16:40 | * jwagner | should keep questionable code snippets for future reference instead of having to look for them again :-( |
16:41 | wizzyrea | I couldn't find where those template variables were defined |
16:41 | to compare how they are being generated | |
16:42 | jwagner | which variable(s)? |
16:42 | wizzyrea | homebranch vs holdingbranch |
16:42 | is there a good tool to help with that kind of thing? | |
16:42 | * wizzyrea | pulls out all of the nub questions |
16:43 | jwagner | from Search.pm, # set item's branch name, use HomeOrHoldingBranch syspref first, fall back to the other one -- whatever is defined in the syspref is going to get set as the homebranch for search results/display |
16:43 | If I'm reading it correctly | |
16:45 | Which brings up another question I was troubleshooting last night. The old syspref description for HomeOrHoldingBranch implies it's only used with Independent Branches: | |
16:45 | Used by Circulation to determine which branch of an item to check with independent branches on, and by search to determine which branch to choose for availability | |
16:45 | wizzyrea | mm no |
16:45 | it has applications for multibranch non independent too | |
16:45 | we are non-indy | |
16:45 | jwagner | But it affects transfers when Independent Branches isn't on, and is affecting branch display in searching as above |
16:46 | Syspref description probably needs to be amplified/clarified, then. | |
16:46 | wizzyrea | well that's probably wrong behavior :/ |
16:46 | as it reads, it should only affect using the circ/fines rules | |
16:46 | if it does more than that either needs to be documented, or the purpose of the syspref changed. | |
16:47 | *it either | |
16:47 | but yea, it's apparently a big mess | |
16:47 | jwagner | I think I'll open a bugzilla on that problem |
16:48 | wizzyrea | the 3.2 text is as follows: Use the checkout and fines rules of |
16:48 | NOTE: This is older than CircControl, but used by some parts of Koha. It will be removed soon. | |
16:49 | so there may be plans to kill it off. | |
16:51 | jwagner | I saw that too. Am much puzzled. |
16:51 | wizzyrea | in regards to where the template variables are generated... |
16:52 | you think it's in C4:Search? | |
16:52 | (which seems TOTALLY far out to me, but I will accept it) | |

17:34 | Amanu joined #koha | |
17:34 | reva | Oh I was just saying that the publisher's name showing as a link only on the staff side, not in OPAC; so I guess it is alright. But the place of publication is not showing in the OPAC (remember you said it was your customization; well it seems to be mine too; only I did not do the customizing:) |
17:34 | Ok, I will look in the logs now. | |
17:35 | jcamins | reva: it's possible that the location has never shown up, and I just never noticed, because that matched my desired behavior. |
17:35 | I've never imported authority records, but perhaps someone else can advise you. | |
17:35 | reva | jcamins: that is okay then. I mean it may not be strict AACR2, but that is ok. |
17:36 | Amanu | can any body help me on how to integrate koha with openldap ? |
17:36 | * wizzyrea | tries to raise chris_n for that question |
17:37 | jcamins | Amanu: I believe some people have done this... did you check the mailing list archives? |
17:37 | reva | ok, maybe chris: or chirs_n or wizzyrea?: how do I import into Koha an authority record I have saved from LC? |

17:46 | I have never used it, but I think it is for importing authorities. Isn't that what you're trying to use? | |
17:47 | reva | jcamins: that is what I have also been doing, creating my own? But I thought you could save all the LC authority files (which we got one at a time) together and stage and import it into Koha, no? |
17:47 | jcamins | reva: no, you can only download one authority record at a time. |
17:47 | It's very painful. | |
17:48 | Or did you find a way to download multiple authority records from LC? | |
17:49 | reva | jcamins: I knew that limitation with LC authority files. But can you not append them all in a single file and import them into Koha? |
17:49 | bankhead left #koha | |
17:49 | jcamins | I have no idea. |
17:49 | wizzyrea is now known as wizzy_awa | |
17:49 | bankhead joined #koha | |
17:49 | jcamins | Maybe. But you'd still have to manually download each one. |
17:50 | reva | jecamins: I agree, LC is below par with this end of their catalog. |
17:51 | zen | am doing koha bulk import everything is fine except it can't display copy number! is there anyone who can help me? |
17:52 | reva | jcamins: I do not that for a fact either; I was just asking because in Unix you can append files. But I do not know if in the .mrc (is that the extension for a MARC file?) can be handled the same way. |
17:53 | oh zen: can you tell me how you do bulk import? have you done it with authority files? or only bib records? | |
17:53 | jcamins | I think probably it would be possible, because the MARC format is stream-oriented, but I have never tried. |
17:53 | reva: try running the bulkauthimport.pl script without any arguments. | |
17:53 | It will give you instructions. | |
17:54 | zen | only bib records! |
17:54 | jcamins | You can also try using bulkmarcimport.pl with a -a argument. |
17:54 | reva | jcamins: I will give it a go. Also is the Log file a txt file? |
17:54 | jcamins | (instead of -b) |
17:54 | I don't think so. I think maybe it's stored in the database. | |
17:54 | reva | jcamins: I meant I will give the script a go. |

17:56 | reva | So where exactly would I look for the operator id (id of staff who created/edited) in a record? |
17:57 | cait | hi #koha |
17:59 | reva | what is the -b parameter for? (I kind of guess the -a is for all.) |
18:00 | owen joined #koha | |
18:00 | jcamins | reva: I think -b is bibliographic and -a is authority |
18:00 | Hi cait | |
18:00 | It's the same as the patron id. | |
18:00 | cait | hi jcamins |
18:01 | reva | ok jcamins: -a is for authority, dah:0 |
18:02 | ok, so that is helpful in the training drills so that I address remarks to the correct staff-student. | |
18:02 | cait | jcamins: i think we have a patch somewhere to show place of publicaton in opac |
18:02 | not sure I send it, but I am sure it was done for our library | |
18:04 | reva | cait: how would I patch (I mean download and inject it into Koha)? Maybe you can find out from your library and let me know, please. |
18:05 | cait | reva: I can not find out before tomorrow - I am at home now and have limited access to our installations and my files |
18:05 | but its quite easy | |
18:06 | reva | cait: I was not meaning immediately; but may be even next week. |
18:06 | cait | you only need to add a subfield to the xslt |
18:06 | will check for the patch | |
18:07 | reva | oh, I think I understand. is it the xsltdisplay found in the OPAC? |
18:08 | cait: I will check back with you next week. Thanks. | |
18:08 | wizzy_awa is now known as wizzyrea | |
18:08 | jcamins | It will be in MARC21slim2OPACDetails.xsl. |
18:08 | cait | ok :) I have some xslt things scheduled for next week |
18:09 | dinner time | |
18:10 | reva | Thanks jcamins: and cait: for your help; bye for now. |
18:14 | wizzyrea | hmm do we need to add a "browser" field in our bugzilla |
18:14 | now that we have at least 3 very popular browsers in use with koha? | |
18:15 | jcamins | Hm, that would make sense. |
18:15 | I'm surprised Bugzilla doesn't provide that automatically. | |
18:15 | wizzyrea | we have an "OS" dropdown |
18:16 | tcohen | how'd you call a rebuild_zebra library? |
18:16 | C4::Catalog::Rebuild? | |
18:16 | owen | There's a browser compatibility component |
18:18 | jcamins | owen: yeah, but if how can you tell if you're encountering a browser compatibility problem or a problem in, e.g., the cataloging interface? |
18:18 | Errr... please disregard the extra "if". | |
18:18 | owen | True |
18:18 | wizzyrea | it would help you replicate too |
18:18 | to know what they were using | |
18:19 | er | |
18:19 | you = one | |
18:19 | not just you of course | |
18:19 | jcamins | I can no longer access my catalog from Firefox, so I could easily misidentify a compatibility bug as a functionality bug. |
18:20 | wizzyrea | even if it's something like "I'm using IE and I can't..." and the answer is "use firefox," at least we'll have that as a diagnostic tool. |
18:21 | gmcharlt? master of the bugzilla? | |
18:23 | ebegin joined #koha | |
18:26 | jcamins | Would other libraries find it useful if Koha optionally checked that each item had a unique location/call#/copy#? |
18:29 | ebegin | jcamins, it's my understanding that call# doesn't have to be unique... but i may be wrong, i'm not a librarian :) |
18:29 | wizzyrea | yea, we don't have unique call numbers |
18:31 | jcamins | ebegin: you are completely correct. However, I would like to know when I'm assigning a duplicate call number. |
18:31 | I was thinking of something that added a message after you created an item "this call number is a duplicate." | |
18:31 | wizzyrea | something like that would almost certainly have to be optional |
18:31 | jcamins | Controlled by a syspref, obviously. |
18:34 | It's not a feature so urgent that I'm going to do anything about it right now, I was just wondering if anyone else would find it useful. | |
18:36 | ebegin | jcamins, meanwhile, you could create an SQL report stating your duplicate call numbers... |
18:36 | tcohen left #koha | |
18:37 | jcamins | ebegin: ooh, I guess I could do that, couldn't I? |
18:37 | Thanks! | |

19:00 | cait | hi chris |
19:04 | jcamins | ebegin++ |
19:04 | # for pointing out that Koha already provided a solution to my problem | |
19:10 | wizzyrea | is there some trick to modifying the template includes? I made a change and it's not being reflected and It's quite flummoxing to me |
19:10 | owen | Are you sure you're modifying the right template? You haven't switched languages by mistake have you? |
19:11 | wizzyrea | well I will double check that |
19:11 | but I don't think so | |
19:11 | owen | It wouldn't happen unless you'd installed translations for testing |
19:11 | wizzyrea | no, it's not the language |
19:11 | it's in members-menu.inc | |
19:11 | I can't change the text from "Circulation history" to Checkout History | |
19:11 | or | |
19:11 | rather | |
19:12 | it's changed, but it's not reflected | |
19:12 | I've cleared my cache | |
19:12 | idk what's left to do | |
19:12 | owen | Are you sure there's not also a patrons-menu.inc? |
19:12 | wizzyrea | well |
19:12 | * owen | is away from his VM |
19:12 | wizzyrea | that is a very good point |
19:13 | no, I don't think there is | |
19:13 | patron-search-box, patron-search, patron-toolbar | |
19:13 | but members-menu.inc is what's being included in the tmpl I'm looking at (readingrec.tmpl) | |
19:13 | ebegin | wizzyrea, make sure you are modifying the right version. Installed dir vs source dir (depending of your install type) |
19:14 | wizzyrea | maybe circ-menu? |
19:14 | ebegin: also a good idea, i'm pretty sure I'm working in the live dir | |
19:14 | it's a dev install | |
19:14 | since changes I made to other templates have been reflected | |
19:14 | owen | Yeah, circ-menu.inc |
19:14 | ebegin | ok, so it's the live dir then ;) |
19:15 | wizzyrea | let me look at circ-menu |
19:16 | owen++ I think that's it | |
19:16 | thank you, whew, that was it | |
19:16 | I thought I was losing my mind | |
19:16 | aside, I also can't read properly | |
19:16 | lol | |
19:17 | owen | At one time there were good reasons for having the two includes. I'm not sure if there still are. |
19:18 | wizzyrea | hmm |
19:18 | why do we have both messaging and notices? | |
19:18 | * wizzyrea | is picking up lots of rocks today |
19:18 | wizzyrea | ooh! worms! |
19:19 | cait | wizzyra: does notices still show all borrower's messages instead only those of the borrower account open? |
19:19 | wizzyrea | no, it shows only the ones sent to me |
19:19 | or the active patron | |
19:19 | cait | ah cool |
19:19 | owen | Bug 3941 |
19:19 | munin | 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3941 major, P5, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, Notices Tab on Patron Records Showing All Msgs |
19:20 | wizzyrea | perhaps we should close that bug, but the original question stands: why both tabs? |
19:21 | notices shows everything messaging does, and more | |
19:22 | * owen | saw that bug today but has no notices or messages in his test system |
19:22 | wizzyrea | notices: http://screencast.com/t/ZDhjYjUxNGY |
19:23 | er, messaging | |
19:24 | cait | wizzyrea: I am ot sure it shows all |
19:24 | wizzyrea | notices: http://screencast.com/t/ZDhjYjUxNGY |
19:24 | gah | |
19:24 | http://screencast.com/t/MGIxYmM2OW | |
19:25 | cait | hm, you are right, but messaging is a bit better to look at |
19:25 | wizzyrea | well, it depends on what you define as better |
19:25 | nengard left #koha | |
19:25 | cait | I would like the text to show in a sepaarate window and formatted |
19:25 | wizzyrea | you mean the content |
19:26 | cait | ah sorry, yes |
19:26 | wizzyrea | no need to apologize, I was just clarifying |
19:26 | I must have been too tired to remember to return the no cry sleep solution lol | |
19:27 | cait | witout formatting it's hard to tell which items were in the notice |
19:27 | and with formatting the table gets too big | |
19:27 | wizzyrea | tis true |
19:27 | owen | So both tabs show basically the same info? |
19:27 | wizzyrea | I don't have a preference really, I'm just wondering why ^^ |
19:27 | yea | |
19:27 | they appear to | |
19:27 | just one more succinctly than the other | |
19:28 | I rather like the messaging view | |
19:28 | owen | weird |
19:28 | wizzyrea | I mean (dangit) the notices view |
19:28 | cait | it would be better if there was just another column in link in the messaging view to show the content |
19:28 | ah, now you are confusing me :) | |
19:28 | wizzyrea | I like the verbosity of the notices view |
19:29 | it's not like you're going to use that to know what they had checked out, that's what checkout history is for | |
19:29 | but you would use it to see what notice they got when they claim to have returned an item | |
19:29 | and got a notice anyway | |
19:29 | paul_p joined #koha | |
19:30 | wizzyrea | (we have seen that happen when a person returns an item after library hours, then gets the overdue message because their item is in the book drop when the overdues are generated. Boy are they irate.) |
19:31 | idk, I'd like to get rid of one of them because they are redundant | |
19:31 | but I'm not sure which | |
19:31 | owen | We don't even charge fines and patrons are still irate about it. |
19:31 | wizzyrea | and if they serve separate purposes |
19:31 | yea, not many of our libraries charge fines either | |
19:31 | it just turns out people really don't like getting email | |
19:32 | nengard joined #koha | |
19:32 | wizzyrea | I think I'll send something to the dev list about it |
19:32 | "uh, what's this about?" | |
19:32 | cait | our libraries all charge fines |
19:32 | notices are important | |
19:33 | jwagner left #koha | |
19:33 | cait | I have to link the fine to the notice (I know, only we want that...) so i like messaging but stilll think the display would look better with a way to see the formatted notice :) |
19:33 | owen | wizzyrea: I'd be curious what git-blame says about those tabs. It might indicate the right hand not knowing what the left is doing |
19:33 | wizzyrea | ah, true |
19:35 | ...hdl last touched both tabs | |
19:35 | august last year | |
19:36 | cait | it's been like that for a long time |
19:36 | wizzyrea | in the same commit, no less |
19:36 | cait | I think there is bug somewhere |
19:45 | wizzyrea | ok well I"m not going to touch them :P |
19:48 | owen | This is interesting. Git says that at one point someone made a commit to remove one of them |
19:48 | "members/notices.pl and members/messaging.pl are doing the same thing" | |
19:49 | cait | wizzy: meant bug report, sorry, getting late |
19:49 | owen | The commit was reverted, "Should remove members/notices.pl instead" |
19:49 | wizzyrea | weird |
19:49 | owen | ...but obviously no one went back and actually removed notices.pl |
19:49 | wizzyrea | so, whoever it was never got back to removing notices.pl |
19:49 | jinx | |
19:50 | either way, the various names for reading history have all been changed to "checkout history" | |
19:50 | :P | |
19:53 | owen | hdl's comment "should remove members/notices.pl instead" refers to the more verbose version right? |
19:53 | wizzyrea | un moment |
19:53 | yes | |
19:53 | I had to double check. | |
19:54 | dk what's better, seeing the text of the notice or only being able to say that it was sent | |
19:54 | owen | Isn't more information usually better? |
19:54 | wizzyrea | well that's what I thought |
19:55 | spose we could improve it | |
19:55 | a little of that js trickery that makes a link to "show contents of this notice" | |
19:55 | and expands it | |
19:55 | might be nice | |
19:56 | owen | So *is* Bug 3941 fixed? |
19:56 | munin | 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3941 major, P5, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, Notices Tab on Patron Records Showing All Msgs |
19:56 | chris | And then I had to translate it to circulation history |
19:56 | wizzyrea | we took a vote earlier >.> |
19:56 | chris | Checkout is what you do at hotels |
19:57 | * chris | was reminded of this onsite in christchurch yesterday |
19:57 | wizzyrea | so does your Check Out tab say "circulate" |
19:57 | chris | When 2 of the librarians commented |
19:58 | Issue | |
19:58 | wizzyrea | or "Issue" |
19:58 | chris | And return |
19:58 | wizzyrea | aha, so it should be "Issuing History" |
19:58 | chris | Circulation works fine too |
19:58 | owen | Chris, when you're release manager you can decree that we change them all back! ;) |
19:58 | wizzyrea | ^^ |
19:58 | * cait | imagines books as visitors in the library hotel |
19:59 | wizzyrea | that was very poetic, cait |
19:59 | cait | ;) |
19:59 | wizzyrea | really, they'd rather be traveling |
19:59 | travelling | |
19:59 | owen | travellling |
19:59 | chris | Translating works fine |
20:00 | As long as people don't keep changing their minds | |
20:00 | Its re re re translating that gets old | |
20:00 | wizzyrea | well, these 3 places are now all the same |
20:01 | 3 places, and 3 different names | |
20:01 | chris | And quit it with the z :) |
20:01 | Luckily I can regex those out | |
20:02 | If its not zo or ze its an s :) | |
20:03 | wizzyrea | haha |
20:04 | chris | Wizzyrea: circulation history works for borrowers, issuing history for items |
20:04 | That's how my librarians like it anyway :) | |
20:05 | paul_p left #koha | |
20:05 | chris | I wonder what the en_gb one uses |
20:05 | wizzyrea | I'm trying to think about how our librarians refer to it |
20:05 | when they refer to an item | |
20:05 | they often refer to "circ history | |
20:06 | reva joined #koha | |
20:06 | owen | Our librarians refer to it as "Oh god you mean it remembers everything they've had checked out?!" |
20:06 | wizzyrea | well they would refer to both as circ history |
20:06 | hehe | |
20:07 | chris | Yeah u need to fix your govt so that's a feature not a bug :) |
20:07 | wizzyrea | I need to fix lots of stuff. |
20:07 | not all of it is attainable. | |
20:07 | lol | |
20:07 | owen | I'm sure it's more worrisome to librarians than it is to our users |
20:07 | chris | The anonymise job does erase the history |
20:08 | owen | ...considering what people put on Facebook |
20:08 | wizzyrea | oh for sure |
20:08 | I was just thinking about how our librarians consider it a feature that they can tell a patron what book they checked out 3 years ogo | |
20:08 | ago | |
20:08 | I can't even see my amazon orders that far back | |
20:08 | which potentially has more relevance than my effing library reading history | |
20:09 | * wizzyrea | fumes a little. |
20:09 | larsw | me, I think it's creepy if libraries keep track of what patrons read |
20:09 | wizzyrea | ^^ agreed |
20:10 | larsw | outstanding books, sure, but once a book is returned, the library should forget about it, imho |
20:10 | jcamins | Amazon keeps track of every page you look at. |
20:10 | wizzyrea | ^^ I don't like that either |
20:10 | owen | A lot of patrons would like to be able to check to see if they've read something before |
20:10 | ...because some of them read so much they can't remember | |
20:10 | wizzyrea | yea, that's our librarians' big argument for keeping the data |
20:11 | jcamins | I can understand that. |
20:11 | larsw | owen, they can opt-in to do that, that's fine of course |
20:11 | wizzyrea | we're all like "but the FBI... blah blah... take your records without telling you.... blah blah" |
20:11 | owen | Maybe someday we'll find that missing opac-privacy page |
20:11 | wizzyrea | which is what it sounds like to them |
20:11 | jcamins | Goodness knows I could never remember everything I've read in the last year. |

20:11 | munin | 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3881 blocker, P5, ---, paul.poulain, NEW, No Page for Opac Privacy |
20:11 | larsw | if I cared about that, I'd keep the list myself, though, since I get reading materials from so many sources that a library's system would be insufficient |
20:12 | but I'll shut up now (hit-and-run commenting, that's me) | |
20:12 | * wizzyrea | gets whiplash watching larsw come and go |
20:13 | wizzyrea | zoom |
20:14 | chris do you have a feeling about the notices.pl vs. messaging.pl thing we were talking about (that they both show on the member menu, and show the same thing) | |
20:14 | (or nearly the same thing) | |
20:14 | jcamins | Important philosophical question for the members of #koha: is open source free like a kitten or free like a puppy? |

21:27 | wajasu joined #koha | |
21:29 | wajasu | i'm progressing through installing perl module prerequisites for 3.2beta on archlinux but with perl5.12. |
21:29 | it seems Time::localtime is builtin core | |
21:30 | chris | oh, i hadnt seen this before http://bpraweb.puntobiblio.com/ |
21:31 | wasaju: cool | |
21:36 | wajasu | though i've installed Date:ICal the koha_perl_deps.pl -m still shows it as missing. Also that HTTP::OAI has a dependency on XML::SAX::Base that conflict with the earlier installed Sax parser. I've just comment out the HTTP::OAI from the makefile. |
21:47 | owen left #koha | |
21:48 | wajasu | Unix::Syslog is used by zebraqueue_daemon.pl Maybe that should be a perl required module? |
21:48 | chris | no, because that script is deprecated |
21:48 | wajasu | ahhh |
22:13 | no more wiki.koha.org ak.a. http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?[…]ncodingscratchpad (INSTALL.ubuntu and INSTALL.fedora7 refer to this for an install) | |
22:16 | chris | are you installing from git? |
22:17 | wajasu | i grabbed the beta |
22:18 | chris | right |
22:18 | if you have time, you could clone the repo, and send a patch fixing those links | |
22:19 | if not, then report a bug (cos it will scroll out of my scroll buffer here, and never get fixed otherwise) | |
22:19 | wajasu | i'm also installing into an lxc-container, so my distribution is minimal. then I can run a script to build koha lxc-containers and run/test installs |
22:19 | chris | cool |
22:19 | wajasu | ok. i'll write bug. maybe a patch when I have time. |
22:20 | chris | cool |
22:20 | wajasu | no LC_???? thing needs locale set to UTF-8 now? |
22:20 | as its not mentioned in INSTALL.debian | |
22:32 | ok. i set my LC_???? environ vars correctly now for my lxc-container. just need to config mysql apache, then run the webinstaller. | |
22:39 | rhcl | "chris> oh, i hadnt seen this before http://bpraweb.puntobiblio.com/" |
22:40 | OK, I looked up an item in the catalog and then looked at the source code for that page, and saw it was using Koha. | |
22:40 | but chris, was there something more obvious to you that indicated they were using koha? | |
22:43 | wasabi | rhcl: yes, their URL ;) |
22:43 | http://bpraopac.puntobiblio.co[…]-search.pl?q=love | |
22:45 | rhcl | harumph |
22:46 | wasabi | i think chris has a daily automated 'koha' google-search running. |
22:47 | rhcl | Yea, frankly I don't peruse the world's library catalogs doing searches to see which ones run Koha. |
22:47 | wasabi | and it often returns surprising results, like this one :) |
22:48 | yep, but google does | |
22:49 | rhcl | Yea, but that's like doing the easy sudoku's--the hard sudoku's are like doing the work yourself, and looking at the code, and are much more rewarding. |
22:49 | like this: <meta name="generator" content="Koha 3.0006010" | |

23:50 | wajasu | i've compiled a distribution package for Date::Ical just as for many other perl modules, but after my distribution install, the koha_perl_deps.pl reports its not installed. Hmmm. |
23:54 | robin | wajasu: $ perl -MData::ICal |
23:54 | that'll tell you for sure | |
23:55 | (if you get an error it's not installed. If it just sits there its OK and you can ctrl-C out) | |
