| 08:21 | chris | kf: you about? | 
| 08:21 | kf | here | 
| 08:21 | chris | yeah, basically it doesnt need the no strict | 
| 08:21 | or the use strict | |
| 08:21 | perl -e 'use strict; use Locale::Currency::Format; my $formatted_fine = currency_format("NZD", "10", FMT_SYMBOL); print $formatted_fine; ' | |
| 08:22 | $10.00 | |
| 08:22 | kf | try EUR :) | 
| 08:22 | no, you don't need to | |
| 08:22 | chris | €10,00 | 
| 08:22 | kf | oh nice :) | 
| 08:23 | ok, what do you want me to do? | |
| 08:23 | delete those lines? | |
| 08:23 | chris | so yeah i think chris_n thought it was a bareword, but FMT_SYMBOL is actually a subroutine | 
| 08:23 | in Locale::Currency::Format | |
| 08:23 | so either you can, or ill send a follow up patch removing those 2 lines | |
| 08:24 | whatever you like | |
| 08:24 | kf | I can do, but perhaps in the afternoon | 
| 08:24 | small emergencies everywhere today | |
| 08:24 | chris | ahh | 
| 08:24 | no worries, whenever is fine | |
| 08:25 | kf | ok :) | 
| 08:25 | chris | ill try to signoff some more tomorrow | 
| 08:25 | kf | thx! | 
| 08:26 | I think chris_n wanted to take a look at that patch too - forgot to note it in my list | |
| 08:26 | chris | cool | 
| 08:26 | kf | - but perhaps it's even better now, when we fix one more thing with the patch | 
| 08:27 | chris | yup, this isnt a biggy, but it will make the script execute slightly faster | 
| 08:27 | kf | cool :) | 
| 08:28 | thx for your help and explaining chris | |

| 08:51 | kf | you think KOHA is bad? I have to fight against KoHa around here | 
| 08:53 | hmpf. | |
| 08:54 | meeting now, bbl! | |
| 09:10 | magnus | it's impressive to see all the activity on the bugs and patches lists these days! | 
| 09:12 | chris | yeah things are ticking along | 
| 09:13 | good to see the new rfc too | |
| 09:13 | magnus | can't wait for 3.2 be done, so we can think about all the goodness that will be in 3.4 ;-) | 
| 09:13 | um, what rfc? | |
| 09:16 | probably this one? http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ISO_CORE_protocol i'm way behind in reading the lists these days - need to spend time on other things than koha... :-( | |
| 09:18 | Shiny | what's the [off] mean in your folks' chatting? | 
| 09:20 | magnus | Shiny: lines that start with [off] will not show up in the log http://stats.workbuffer.org/irclog/koha/ | 
| 09:21 | Shiny | thanks magnus | 
| 09:22 | magnus | you're welcome! ;-) | 
| 09:25 | chris | ahh nope some new ones from osslabs lemme find em |

| 09:33 | magnus | yeah, looks good! | 
| 09:42 | kf | magnus: I like the activity too :) I think we must look forward and work together | 
| 09:43 | magnus | yay! | 
| 09:43 | chris | and ignore those who are trying to ruin it | 
| 09:43 | we have more people than ever contributing | |
| 09:43 | kf | :) | 
| 09:44 | chris | theres no need to worry about one hostile company | 
| 09:44 | magnus | yeah, the best reaction is to show that the community is stronger and more productive than ever! | 
| 09:45 | kf | I like to think we can persuade people to use koha by making it the better product. If we succeed there is no need to worry about one company | 
| 09:50 | chris | yep, thats definitely true kf |

| 10:52 | nengard | hello | 
| 11:00 | Amit | hi nengard | 
| 11:00 | nengard | howdy | 
| 11:12 | question about long overdues | |
| 11:12 | i entered this at the command line: $PERL5LIB/misc/cronjobs/longoverdue.pl --lost 30=2 --charge 1 | |
| 11:13 | but it says it's in ### TEST MODE | |
| 11:13 | how do I make it go into 'real' mode? | |
| 11:14 | chris | --confirm confirm. without this option, the script will report the number of affected items and return without modifying any records. | 
| 11:16 | nengard | bingo | 
| 11:16 | missed that line :) | |
| 11:17 | chris | always pays to take a look at the script before you run it, eg | 
| 11:17 | nengard | i did look at the script - just missed that part of the perldoc | 
| 11:17 | chris | WARNING: This script is known to be faulty. It is NOT recommended to use multiple --lost options. See http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]w_bug.cgi?id=2881 |

| 11:17 | nengard | it's first thing monday morning :) | 
| 11:18 | chris | wow, that script is horrible | 
| 11:18 | nengard | LOL | 
| 11:18 | chris | srsly | 
| 11:19 | i wouldnt use that in production | |
| 11:19 | nengard | k - so we need to add that to the list of things that were screwed up by not knowing how to code | 
| 11:19 | well we need something that does what it's supposed to do - so i was testing | |
| 11:19 | and it didn't work anyway | |

| 11:49 | Amit | heya jwagner | 
| 11:49 | jwagner | Hi Amit | 
| 11:50 | slef | I'm just fixing up our vendors listing entry. Anyone know why the admin is in ISO-8859-1 now? It mangled our accents (which were UTF-8). | 
| 11:50 | Anyone want their vendor listing entry updated while I'm in there? | |
| 11:51 | Casaubon joined #koha | |

| 11:53 | jwagner | slef, where are you talking about? | 
| 11:54 | slef | http://koha-community.org/support/paid-support/ | 
| 12:01 | nengard | slef i don't know for sure, but that might be a byproduct of a change wizzyrea made to make the manuals print right - not sure if they're are connected through | 
| 12:01 | though | |
| 12:02 | if so we'll need to find another work around for the manual | |
| 12:03 | slef | nengard: shall I email wizzyrea or will you take it up? | 
| 12:04 | Moving from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 seems a little backwards. | |
| 12:04 | nengard | I'll contact her since I know what she did to make the manual work -- the converter for the manual to HTML seems to need ISO or accents in the manual turn into question marks - if I'm understanding right what she did | 
| 12:04 | we did know that something might pop up to show us this move wouldn't work :( | |
| 12:11 | Amit left #koha | |
| 12:13 | owen joined #koha | |
| 12:18 | slef | Thanks. If you'd like help, we'd probably need to know what is the converter for the manual to HTML? Where is the manual source? | 
| 12:20 | owen | A belated happy birthday to you jwagner! | 
| 12:20 | jwagner | Thanks owen |

| 12:37 | * chris_n | wishes jwagner a late happy birthday as well | 
| 12:37 | nengard | slef, manual source is in git: http://git.koha-community.org/[…]ocs.git;a=summary -- I don't know what converter it is | 
| 12:37 | chris_n | owen about? | 
| 12:37 | owen | Yes | 
| 12:37 | nengard | oh - magnus told you :) | 
| 12:38 | chris_n | owen: any idea what RFC822 does with day of week and month abbreviations in languages other than english? | 
| 12:38 | ie. Sun Mon... etc. | |
| 12:38 | owen | No clue! | 
| 12:39 | chris_n | well, I've added rfc822 to C4::Dates, but atm it only handles english dow, moy, abbrv's | 
| 12:39 | * chris_n | is not sure what to do to internationalize | 
| 12:42 | slef | chris_n: rfc2822 requires English - see section 3.3 | 
| 12:42 | chris_n | slef: I wondered about that, thanks | 
| 12:42 | owen | Thanks slef, that's just what I was about to guess | 
| 12:42 | slef | why guess? It's written in the RFC :-) | 
| 12:43 | chris_n | owen: I have one fix to push up to my repo and then you can give it a whirl | 
| 12:43 | * slef | mutters something about library system developers looking up references ;-) | 
| 12:43 | * owen | was perusing the RFC just now :P | 
| 12:45 | chris_n | owen: this feature is available here: http://git.koha-community.org/[…]ads/RFC822_format | 
| 12:46 | owen | chris_n++ | 
| 12:46 | chris_n | if it looks like it does what you want, I'll submit it for inclusion into 3.4, unless gmcharlt makes a dramatic exception for 3.2 | 
| 12:46 | atz++ # for looking over it to be sure I did not bust things too badly :-) | |
| 12:47 | owen | Thanks chris_n, the feature I'm hankering to use it for certainly won't be in 3.2 | 
| 12:48 | chris_n | ok, if it works for you, maybe you can sign off on it and submit it for inclusion in 3.4 | 
| 12:49 | if/when you do, be sure to pickup the two perltidy patches as well or it will not apply nicely | |
| 12:51 | owen | Okay, thanks | 
| 12:55 | * chris_n | 's comments crash w/owen in bugzilla :-O | 
| 12:56 | chris_n | I wonder what that was all about... | 
| 12:58 | owen: I added you to the cc list for bug 5218 | |

| 14:20 | wasabi | ah, ok.. | 
| 14:21 | jcamins | Oh, we need to ask someone about a version number for the database. | 
| 14:21 | wasabi | chris.c told me to leave that as 'X' , so i did... | 
| 14:22 | jcamins | Oh, okay. | 
| 14:22 | nengard | yeah, X is the norm and then the RM puts the right number in | 
| 14:22 | jcamins | Ah. That makes sense. | 
| 14:22 | That was the only part of the patch that didn't apply cleanly to HEAD. | |

| 15:03 | briceSanc joined #koha | |
| 15:03 | briceSanc | Hello ! | 
| 15:05 | Is there a debug function in Koha like "print" in order to show the content of a $var? | |
| 15:06 | jcamins | briceSanc: Hi. Can't you just use print? | 
| 15:06 | ebegin | briceSanc, you can use warn and the text will show in the logs | 
| 15:06 | briceSanc | jacamins, yes but the template erase the print | 
| 15:06 | ebegin | print will show in the output if you run your perl script from the command line | 
| 15:07 | jcamins | Oh, I was thinking about modifying command-line scripts. Of course you'd need something else for the web interface. Sorry about that. It's Monday. ;) | 
| 15:08 | briceSanc | ebegin, Thanks, i'm searching the log rep | 
| 15:08 | ebegin | /var/log/koha or <kohainstall>/var/log | 
| 15:16 | wizzyrea | @later tell slef please double check the support vendor pages when you have a chance. Thanks :) | 
| 15:16 | munin | wizzyrea: The operation succeeded. | 
| 15:17 | jcamins | sekjal: before I comment on your analytic record RFC, I have a question for you. Does the RFC require a parent->child link to be present? That could result in excessively large records. | 
| 15:19 | sekjal | jcamins: I was just talking to Savitra about this, but haven't gotten my ideas out beyond that thread | 
| 15:19 | jcamins | Okay. | 
| 15:19 | sekjal | I think there should be a concept of 'reciprocal relationships' | 
| 15:19 | kf | sekjal: our idea was to provice a search link | 
| 15:19 | sekjal: and use some jquery magic to show the x first volumes directly in the record | |
| 15:20 | sekjal | that is, if you add a 773 point record A to record B, it will automatically add a 774 from B to A (for example) | 
| 15:20 | kf | parsed from the result page of the search link (not elegant... but my prototype works) | 
| 15:20 | sekjal | or you could turn off the reciprocal, and only have links in one direction | 
| 15:20 | kf | reciprocal will not work for us | 
| 15:21 | we get our data from our union catalog - there is only a link in one direction there | |
| 15:21 | as in marc21 standard | |
| 15:21 | jcamins | I think we'd really like what kf is describing... a virtual reciprocal link, if you will. | 
| 15:21 | kf | the union catalog data would overwrite those reciprocal links with every new import | 
| 15:22 | jcamins: I think the problem with my solution is that you can't tell when to show the search link | |
| 15:22 | it will show always - or perhaps you can hide it if the jquery gets no results | |
| 15:22 | sekjal | kf: hmmm, okay... would it help your solution to consult a table of relationships? | 
| 15:23 | that way, if on record didn't relate to any other, you wouldn't have to invoke the jquery | |
| 15:23 | laurence joined #koha | |
| 15:23 | jcamins | We have one journal with 4176+ analytics, which would definitely put us way over the maximum record size limit. | 
| 15:24 | sekjal | I think we need to store the relationships outside of MARC, and make the insertion of MARC fields something configurable depending on library policies/practices/desires | 
| 15:25 | jcamins | Yeah, I like that idea. | 
| 15:25 | sekjal | I'm thinking the same would hold for MFHD support | 
| 15:30 | kf | sorry, afk now, will be back in a few minutes | 
| 15:30 | slef | wizzyrea: thanks. Other vendors will be happy (I switched ours to use entities and work around it). |

| 15:39 | ebegin left #koha | |
| 15:41 | yhager left #koha | |
| 15:56 | kf | sekjal: perhaps our problem is unique, not sure. for us the union catalog is the master database for the bibliographic records. If a record is changed, it's imported by a nightly import script and overwrites the record in koha. | 
| 15:56 | sekjal: I am not sure how your table of relationships can be maintained. | |
| 15:56 | if you are not cataloging in koha | |
| 15:57 | jcamins | Parse out 7xx fields? | 
| 15:58 | kf | the import scripts need to learn to do that | 
| 15:58 | henry joined #koha | |
| 15:58 | kf | in that case | 
| 15:58 | but as you said, the records will get too big | |
| 15:58 | we have records for traced series too | |
| 15:59 | jcamins | Yeah, savitra (I think) wanted to add that feature to mulkmarcimport. | 
| 15:59 | bulkmarcimport, even | |
| 15:59 | kf | I had not really time to read all the rfcs :( | 
| 15:59 | will try to do tomorrow | |
| 15:59 | * wizzyrea | is more interested in hulkmarcimiport | 
| 16:00 | tee hee hee's | |
| 16:00 | kf | :) |

| 16:00 | jcamins | HULK IMPORT! | 
| 16:01 | yhager joined #koha | |
| 16:01 | sekjal | kf: we'd have to make the triggering of adding a new relationshop to the table be flexible | 
| 16:03 | so, when a MARC record comes in with some field, the importer would either add, modify or remove the corresponding entry in the relationships table | |
| 16:03 | depending on configs | |
| 16:03 | ivanc left #koha | |
| 16:03 | jcamins | What would the overhead on that be for kf? | 
| 16:04 | (just throwing out whatever thoughts come to mind to clarify things for myself) | |
| 16:04 | sekjal | I suppose that would depend on what config options were avaialble | 
| 16:04 | kf | sekjal: we would need that as an option for the staged marc import | 
| 16:05 | sekjal: we do matching by 001 | |
| 16:05 | sekjal | kf: yes! so we'd add lines on what to do about analytics, just like there are options for what to do with items | 
| 16:05 | kf | I am not against a relationship table - but opposed to storing the information in the marc21 records | 
| 16:06 | sekjal | kf: would the information be coming in from the MARC initially? | 
| 16:06 | kf | are you only looking for analytics or other relationships too? | 
| 16:06 | afaik the mother does not know her child records | |
| 16:07 | jcamins | I'm pretty sure MARC specifies that parent->child relationships are optional. | 
| 16:07 | sekjal | you'd configure whatever relationships you want in the system, and tie them to MARC if appropriate | 
| 16:08 | kf | jcamins: which fields do you use in the parent? | 
| 16:08 | sekjal | then the importer would look for relationships, and parse them as appropriate | 
| 16:08 | kf | we have a lot of relationships in our data and we need to make them show - it's a big problem now. | 
| 16:09 | I started some work on $w relationships, but on a different level - just wanting to make them show | |
| 16:09 | yhager | I am trying to install koha - when I try to access myserver:8080, I get an error, and in the log it seems the db tables do not exist. Do I need to create them myself? | 
| 16:09 | jcamins | kf: you _can_ use 774, or 787, but I'm 99% sure that it's not required, or even recommended. | 
| 16:09 | kf | not thinking so much about import and cataloging, because that's not important to us | 
| 16:09 | jcamins: I think it's not required | |
| 16:10 | jcamins | Yeah, here it is. Definitely not required. | 
| 16:10 | http://www.loc.gov/marc/biblio[…]hic/bd76x78x.html | |
| 16:10 | About a third of the way down under "Component Parts/Constituent Units." | |
| 16:10 | kf | we have separate records a work as parent and it's volumes as separate records, traced series as records with relationships, serials with former/later etc., parallel title, a lot of relationhsops | 
| 16:11 | relationships | |
| 16:11 | electronic to print version | |

| 16:13 | kf | :) | 
| 16:13 | the work of a lot of busy librarians | |
| 16:13 | yhager | should I run "mysql < kohastructure.sql"? it does not appear in the INSTALL file | 
| 16:15 | kf | jcamins: "This bibliographic database [SWB] references all kinds of media of more than 1000 libraries in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Saxony, Saarland, and Rhineland-Palatinate. It contains 47 million holding records for about 12 million titles of mainly scientific literature. These comprise 1.2 million holding records of 350.000 journals." | 
| 16:15 | jcamins | yhager: the installer should take care of that for you. | 
| 16:16 | kf: And I am hugely jealous. ;) | |
| 16:16 | kf | ;) |

| 16:21 | yhager | jcamins: I get "production mode - trapped fatal error" when trying to access the installer and lots of errors in the log related to non existing tables | 
| 16:21 | jcamins | Hm. | 
| 16:22 | I don't really recall the steps for installing Koha. Perhaps someone else remembers? | |
| 16:23 | yhager | jcamins: which is the most suitable mailing list for this kind of question? the devel one? | 
| 16:23 | sekjal | yhager: did you create the koha database, and give your koha mysql account permissions on it? | 
| 16:23 | yhager | sekjal: yes | 
| 16:23 | I will double check | |
| 16:24 | kf | I think there were several posts about trapped fatal error already, try google first | 
| 16:25 | yhager | re db, it works when I access it using mysql cmd line, and I can create tables |

| 19:08 | chris_n | owen about? | 
| 19:08 | owen | Yes | 
| 19:09 | chris_n | I think we've found a bug in adding and deleting subfields | 
| 19:09 | for example | |
| 19:10 | I can add as many 505$t subfields as I like until I delete one of them | |
| 19:10 | then the clone control ceases to work | |
| 19:10 | can you confirm this by chance? | |
| 19:11 | owen | I've certainly seen similar bugs with cloning and deleting. | 
| 19:11 | * owen | will test | 
| 19:11 | needs a break from Drupal anyway | |
| 19:12 | * chris_n | hands owen a fresh cup of coffee and a donut as he sits down to Koha ;-) | 
| 19:15 | owen | Yeah, it looks like the delete control for all instances of $t (for instance) reference the original $t. clicking any of them will delete the original, and then you get an error because the original isn't there to delete anymore | 
| 19:15 | chris_n | so this is a js problem? | 
| 19:16 | owen | It's hard to separate the js from the script on this page because much of the js is generated by the script | 
| 19:16 | But essentially yes it's a js problem | |
| 19:16 | * chris_n | groans... another marc editor mess | 
| 19:16 | chris_n | so I'll open a bug on it then | 
| 19:17 | owen | I think there may already be one. Did you search? | 
| 19:17 | chris_n | not yet, I will now | 
| 19:17 | owen | Bug 5141 is similar | 
| 19:17 | munin | 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5141 normal, P5, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, Cannot duplicate subfields after duplicating a field | 
| 19:18 | chris_n | bug 4867 also | 
| 19:18 | munin | 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4867 normal, P5, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, cannot clone subfields in marc editor, other clone/unclone weirdness | 
| 19:18 | owen | Yup | 
| 19:18 | chris_n | even bug 3264 | 
| 19:18 | munin | 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3264 normal, P5, ---, oleonard, NEW, UnCloneField() / minus button in MARC authorities editor can clear all subfields. | 
| 19:18 | owen | They all probably have the same root cause | 
| 19:19 | chris_n | *sigh* | 
| 19:19 | owen | I think cloning and deleting of tags/subfields needs to be re-written. Not only because it's buggy but because it's really slow too | 
| 19:19 | chris_n | and that is a subset of why the entire editor needs to be rewritten | 
| 19:19 | owen | I've tried a couple of times to get a good handle on the existing functionality, but I haven't succeeded. | 
| 19:20 | chris_n | some sort of ajax driven editor where only the tag you were currently looking at is loaded | 
| 19:20 | others load dynamically, etc | |
| 19:20 | so reducing the js load on the client side | |
| 19:21 | * chris_n | goes on dreaming | 
| 19:21 | owen | it's too bad the biblios editor was a dead end | 
| 19:21 | jcamins | chris_n: can I add my dream to yours? | 
| 19:21 | owen | Now that Google Gears is dead I don't know how you could begin to resurrect it | 
| 19:22 | * chris_n | invites jcamins in | 
| 19:22 | jcamins | The ability to reorganize fields and subfields! | 
| 19:22 | owen | (not that I know whether it's a better choice at all) | 
| 19:22 | chris_n | dare I say 'drag-n-drop'? | 
| 19:22 | jcamins | Yes! | 
| 19:23 | brendan joined #koha | |
| 19:23 | chris_n | owen: what about some of yui's more advanced stuff? | 
| 19:23 | heya brandan | |
| 19:23 | brendan | heya chris_n | 
| 19:23 | sekjal | I'd like to see a new html5 based template, parallel to 'prog' | 
| 19:23 | chris_n | sekjal: cool idea | 
| 19:23 | * owen | has to hold his nose to use YUI at all... | 
| 19:24 | owen | It would be very useful to write up a spec for how the MARC editor *should* behave | 
| 19:24 | chris_n | sekjal: and wonderful for backward compatibility for those who don't like the change or can't make the leap | 
| 19:25 | sekjal | chris_n: yeah, we'd need to keep the old templates for compatibility, but the new html5-based one could be released at the same time as a more CSS3-based styling | 
| 19:25 | jcamins | owen: I know what *I* want, but I feel like it's probably not what other people would want. | 
| 19:26 | owen | jcamins: But the MARC standard defines things you *should* be able to do | 
| 19:26 | chris_n | we should begin an rfc for both a new templating system and a completely new marc editor | 
| 19:27 | wizzyrea | while you're doing that... add in customization of receipts :P | 
| 19:27 | * chris_n | welcomes wizzyrea to the dream session | 
| 19:28 | * owen | hands wizzyrea a brownie | 
| 19:28 | sekjal | I'd say we should fold receipts under Notices; then build Notices to be configurable in how they're delivered (email, print, sms, facebook, etc.) | 
| 19:28 | with fallbacks in a user-configurable order per notice | |
| 19:28 | * wizzyrea | makes no apologies to wanting a templating system that is as pluggable as WordPress | 
| 19:28 | * chris_n | looks at his star tps700 still sitting on the shelf three months later | 
| 19:28 | * wizzyrea | gets distracted by the brownie | 
| 19:29 | jcamins | Facebook? That's an interesting way to send notices. | 
| 19:29 | * wizzyrea | thinks it would be epic to have a facebook app to tie into koha | 
| 19:30 | wizzyrea | much like twitter ties into facebook | 
| 19:30 | or friendfeed | |
| 19:30 | chris | templates are all changing for 3.4 | 
| 19:30 | wizzyrea | "Hey, your books are due in a couple of days!" in your news feed would get books back I think :) | 
| 19:30 | chris_n | hehe | 
| 19:30 | chris | To using template toolkit | 
| 19:30 | jcamins | Heh. | 
| 19:30 | chris | Seems a good opportunity | 
| 19:31 | sekjal | jcamins: if we coded with Facebook in mind, that's force us to be more flexible, and allow for lots of other kinds of connections, likely | 
| 19:31 | chris_n | TT++ | 
| 19:31 | owen | wizzyrea: We should have it post overdue messages to all your friends' pages too so they can peer pressure you | 
| 19:31 | wizzyrea | ooh | 
| 19:31 | "so and so didn't return their books.... send them a virtual handslap!" | |
| 19:31 | chris_n | sekjal, jcamins: some sort of connector library would be nice | 
| 19:31 | chris | The problem wp has is speed | 
| 19:32 | Hence all the caching plugins | |
| 19:32 | wizzyrea | yes, it is slow, for sure. | 
| 19:32 | jcamins | Speed and integration. Our two problems. Speed, integration, and ubiquity, three... | 
| 19:32 | Sorry. | |
| 19:32 | It is *so* Monday. | |
| 19:32 | chris | You have to balance customisability vs performance | 
| 19:32 | * wizzyrea | still won't apologize for wanting it :D | 
| 19:33 | wizzyrea | ^.^ | 
| 19:33 | I didn't say it was *practical* | |
| 19:33 | chris | You just have to solve it, then we can :) | 
| 19:33 | wizzyrea | actually you bring up a good point about the caching | 
| 19:33 | chris | TT pre renders for speed | 
| 19:33 | wizzyrea | what if you had a pluggable system that ^^ did that | 
| 19:34 | instead of every load | |
| 19:34 | chris | Yep | 
| 19:34 | That's what we do with stuff | |
| 19:34 | wizzyrea | but in a way that your average techie librarian could get their heads around | 
| 19:35 | chris | Once we have tt there is a ton more we can do | 
| 19:36 | * chris_n | wonders if fridolyn somers' patch for bug 4867 ever made it in... |

| 19:38 | Facebook connect is trivial | |
| 19:38 | We could do that now | |
| 19:39 | But I hate facebook so someone else will have to | |
| 19:39 | * chris_n | notes that patch did not make it in | 
| 19:39 | chris_n | I'll test it and send it along if it fixes things | 
| 19:39 | chris | I'm more interested in chilts adding openid support | 
| 19:40 | Cool, sign off on it | |
| 19:42 | * chris | is on his sign off crusade still | 
| 19:45 | jwagner | chris, are the procedures that should be followed posted somewhere yet? In painful detail for those of us less literate with git? | 
| 19:46 | chris | Yeah on the wiki | 
| 19:48 | Id look for the url, but would take too much mucking around on the phone | |
| 19:49 | wizzyrea | http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]gn_off_on_patches | 
| 19:49 | that one, chris? | |
| 19:49 | chris | Looks likely | 
| 19:50 | Yeah that's it thanks | |
| 19:51 | jwagner | Thanks. I looked last week but didn't see anything. | 
| 19:51 | chris_n | well, that patch did not fix what I'm seeing :-( |

| 19:58 | brendan left #koha | |
| 20:02 | chris_n | owen: I think I've found the problem | 
| 20:03 | the script passes in a var 'random' which is presumably to cause each field to have a unique identifier | |
| 20:03 | only each clone uses the same var 'random' | |
| 20:03 | so they all reference the same field | |
| 20:03 | owen | So the clone function needs to have a built-in random var generator | 
| 20:04 | chris_n | that sounds easy.... maybe too easy | 
| 20:04 | probably the CloneSubfield function needs the rnd generator | |
| 20:05 | * chris_n | is not a js hack :-( |

| 20:10 | chris | heh yup | 
| 20:10 | henry left #koha | |
| 20:11 | chris_n | it modifies the other unique attributes by adding a var 'new_key' |
