10:29 mib_vr22g joined #koha
10:30 mib_vr22g Can anyone direct me at a how-to for git with Koha? I am unsure how it works exactly and have a few questiosn, e.g. Can you use git to just update individual files or must you update the whole system etc..
10:39 Braedon basic info http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ol_for_the_public
10:39 other sections of that page have more detailed info
10:41 mib_vr22g Thanks.....I will have a gander
10:41 Braedon generally a bad idea to merge in single files
10:41 what specifically are you wanting to do that for?
10:43 mib_vr22g There is some added features, specifically the SQL reports that I would like to add without upgrading......bad idea?
10:43 Braedon yeah, can easily cause problems
10:44 if you can isolate the commits that put in the features, you could potentially cherry pick them
10:44 better than trying to do files individually, but still very risky
10:45 http://www.kernel.org/pub/soft[…]-cherry-pick.html
10:48 mib_vr22g ummm, OK.....I'll give it a good read before I go ahead with it......
10:49 ivanc joined #koha
10:49 Braedon using git, you can of course always revert any changes you make, but you will definitely need careful testing before putting it into production
10:50 some else here or on the mailing list more knowledgeable about the specifics of the report system than I may be able to help you with what commits you will need, and what issues you could get
10:56 mib_vr22g Thanks....I'll ask again later and maybe post to the mailing list

12:55 druthb mornin'.
12:56 looks like an exciting night, owen
12:59 owen No power at my house 'til Sunday, they're saying. Power out at three libraries.
13:00 druthb Good to see there weren't more injuries.
13:04 jcamins_a is now known as jcamins
13:04 jcamins Good morning.
13:05 Nate joined #koha
13:06 jcamins owen: scary!
13:06 owen Very unusual for this area
13:11 * owen reads the backlog for PTFS gossip
13:21 jcamins Does anyone else ever feel staggered and overwhelmed when they try and document what they do?
13:21 owen jcamins: You mean like your job description?
13:22 jcamins Or documentation for in case you are hit by a bus.
13:22 sekjal joined #koha
13:23 jcamins I find myself more and more feeling like I _have_ been hit by a bus. ;)
13:23 Good morning, sekjal.
13:24 sekjal morning, jcamins.  sorry to hear about the bus
13:24 jcamins Heh. I'm documenting my job.
13:25 It turns out I do a whole lot more than I had ever taken the time to think about.
13:25 kf jcamisn: yep
13:25 jcamins: I try to write down all the things I kow about koha for my coworkers.
13:26 owen jcamins: What I worry about is the crappy spaghetti code I'll leave behind if I get hit by a bus (or a tornado, as seems more likely now)
13:26 kf things like how to configure fines and notices, what to do when... what if...
13:28 jcamins On the one hand, it's gratifying that I know so much. On the other hand, aaaaaahhhh!!!! ;)
13:29 owen Job security!
13:29 jcamins owen: perhaps we should update the traditional advice from "always wear a clean pair of underwear" to "always wear a clean pair of underwear and provide a test case"?
13:29 owen And an index card with all the passwords.
13:30 jcamins I think I used the same password for everything work-related.
13:30 sekjal found a similar bug to 5222: apparently, the 630$p isn't displaying in with XSLT on
13:31 jcamins We also don't display field 351.
13:32 And our display of the notes used by MARC-AMC leaves something to be desired.
13:32 sekjal we should really make the XSLT's user-editable through the GUI, so every library can adjust to their hearts desire
13:32 * owen imagines a system which would let admins check off which fields they want and have Koha write a custom XSL file
13:32 jcamins Yes!
13:32 sekjal++
13:32 sekjal what about using the MARC frameworks?
13:32 jcamins owen++ ++
13:32 I think they'd need an overhaul, first.
13:33 sekjal a nicer editor, surely
13:33 owen Even better, have Koha use a different XSL file based on itemtype/ccode
13:33 jcamins Indicators can significantly change the meaning of a field.
13:33 (and there's no way to specify them in a framework)
13:33 sekjal right
13:34 I remember bumping up against them when doing MeSH at my previous institution
13:34 we wanted to treat MeSH and LCSH differently, but the only difference was the second indicator

13:57 * druthb waves to wizzyrea_
13:57 wizzyrea_ heya ppls
13:57 jcamins Hello!
13:57 * wizzyrea_ waves at druthb
14:01 jcamins wizzyrea_: still on your mobile communications device?
14:01 wizzyrea_ not at the moment
14:01 (hehe that you called it that, you must have read the backlog)
14:01 jcamins Every morning. :)
14:08 owen wizzyrea_: We got some down-home Kansas weather last night: http://www.thepost.ohiou.edu/m[…]1&ArticleID=32272
14:08 wizzyrea_ whoa!
14:09 oh that's familiar, trailers all on their tops
14:09 owen They're tornado magnets
14:10 jcamins Familiar? Yikes! Maybe Huffnpuff isn't enough to convince me to move to Kansas after all. ;)
14:10 wizzyrea_ wow, is your family/house/property ok?
14:10 in that order?
14:10 you know what
14:10 hurricanes are huge
14:10 owen All we had was heavy rain and no power (til Sunday they say).
14:10 wizzyrea_ tornadoes are small
14:10 :P
14:11 my point being, it's pretty unlikely, even in kansas, that you'll actually get hit by a tornado
14:11 scares, sure.
14:16 mparker joined #koha
14:19 owen Hi mparker
14:23 jwagner: I see you posted some comments on Bug 2560. Do you know if anything more happened with it?
14:23 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=2560 major, P3, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, Advanced search on Language (from pulldown) does not work
14:23 mparker Good Morning (still collection information before i ask my question)
14:24 Braedon joined #koha
14:24 kf owen++ for looking at old bugs
14:26 * chris_n doesn't like the mile-wide tornadoes of the mid-western sort
14:28 owen I wish Bugzilla offered search term highlighting on its bug search results.
14:28 jwagner owen, sorry, was working on something.  No, I don't know if anyone else has looked at 2560.
14:29 CGI086 joined #koha
14:29 jwagner is now known as jwag_mtg
14:30 * owen bumps the bug up to 3_4
14:32 jcamins What does KSF mean?
14:32 sekjal Koha Software Foundation, I assume
14:33 jcamins Oh.
14:33 Right.
14:33 Silly question, sorry.
14:33 owen A hypothetical entity
14:33 jcamins Right.
14:36 CGI086 please, I need help. I'm cataloging in Koha 3.06, How I validate a field? , for example when I complete the Marc tag 082, how to see the index of call numbers for not to wright te same?
14:38 jcamins CGI086: so far as I know, you cannot.
14:40 owen Sounds like a good use of a "plugin," as they're called in the case of the MARC editor. But I don't think one exists yet
14:40 jcamins You can search in your catalog for the call number you want to assign.
14:46 CGI086 Ok, thanks. Another question, if I delete a bibliographic record, after,  it is posible to re-use that system number?
14:47 sekjal CGI086: if you delete it from the staff client, no, that system number is preserved in the deletedbiblios table
14:49 kf has someone experience with the marc export tool?
14:49 I got an empty file when I tried to export some records by accession date
14:50 owen kf: I've used that option with success recently in our production system, but it's a little behind HEAD
14:50 * owen will test
14:51 jcamins kf: we had a lot of trouble with exporting. Probably operator error, but I don't think we ever managed to actually persuade any subset of our records to export.
14:51 kf thx owen, I tried start and date tody, and from yesterday to tomorrow
14:52 owen Yeah kf, it's working for me in my up-to-date test install
14:52 kf owen: my records are freshly cataloged, but I can search for them. I added a footnote too and searched for that now, added to card, send card - marc files. but still wondering about the export
14:52 thx, will test at home again, this installation is not up to date, a little bit behind
14:53 card = cart... time to leave fort eh weekend
14:55 but wanted to take my test records with me - now I can :)
14:55 bye all!
14:55 chris_n bye kf
14:55 kf left #koha
14:56 CGI086 I'm again, thanks all. Another question. Wuen

15:00 owen Language search limiting is working fine for me. Looks to me like Bug 2560 can be marked fixed.
15:01 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=2560 major, P3, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, Advanced search on Language (from pulldown) does not work
15:01 * owen wonders why there is no language limit option in the staff client advanced search
15:02 jwag_mtg is now known as jwagner
15:03 jwagner owen, I see a language entry in the staff adv search pulldown
15:03 owen jwagner: But not a dedicated language menu like the other subtype limits
15:03 jwagner: Were you testing Bug 2560 with the pulldown Language option that is there?
15:04 jwagner Yes
15:04 owen Ah, so that's why I'm not seeing the problem.
15:04 jwagner The pulldown sends ln,wrdl: as the index which wasn't working.
15:05 owen Is there a reason to use that method rather than the dedicated language chooser (in the opac at least) ?
15:06 jwagner Not sure -- can't remember which site reported this & if that option was available then.
15:06 Johnindy joined #koha
15:06 jwagner Rereading my entry in the bug report, it looks like the separate language search was working fine -- it was the pulldown that wasn't.
15:07 CGI086 left #koha
15:07 owen Oh right, sorry I didn't see that
15:07 jwagner And if you turned off QueryWeightFields, then the pulldown worked.
15:10 owen Okay, still broken then. Thanks for the clarification.
15:10 alex_a left #koha
15:12 owen Oh, and the language limiter only shows up in the staff client with "extended options"
15:12 * owen is chasing red herrings all over the place
15:13 * jwagner sends owen a herring net
15:13 owen They say we should eat more herring.
15:13 jwagner lutefisk?
15:15 owen Okay, I just can't seem to let this go
15:16 I tried it doing a search using the "Language:" option at the top, searched for "spa", and got the exact same results as when using the dedicated language chooser
15:17 And in the OPAC I don't even see the option of choosing "language" from the dropdown at the top
15:20 jwagner Yes, one of our sites has recently asked us about adding Language to the OPAC pulldowns
15:20 owen jwagner: I'd be curious why they don't use the dedicated language chooser. Are the languages they want to search not there? Do they not know it exists?
15:21 jwagner It seems to be working now in current head -- something must have gotten fixed along the way
15:22 owen, it's one of several changes they're asking about.  Need to clarify what they actually want....
15:24 jwagner is now known as jwag_mtg

15:26 * owen discovers that the language search option we're talking about was removed from the OPAC in 2009 in favor of the dedicated language-picker
15:27 nengard joined #koha
15:28 laurence left #koha
15:28 jcamins Um, why would a different set of options show up on the advanced search screen on one computer than on another?
15:30 owen Ghosts.
15:31 druthb Pixies.
15:31 jcamins Wait, maybe I was looking at the staff interface on the other computer.
15:34 sekjal fun new bug:  if you have more than 20 public lists, the ones in excess of that won't display the List's name properly
15:34 or, rather, at all
15:35 nengard sekjal - don't think it's new :) that sounds familiar
15:35 off to find the bug report
15:35 sekjal thanks, nengard; I was just about to start a search, myself
15:35 nengard well i'm sure you're fresher than me - what a travel nightmare :( but I am finally home

15:37 owen sekjal: The limit is hard-coded. There is a bug report somewhere.
15:37 sekjal I'll find it at patch it.  looks like a straightforward enough fix
15:37 owen In fact there was some discussion fairly recently, but I can't remember if it was on IRC or in the bug or what
15:37 nengard bug 3523 sounds related

15:40 sekjal when viewing a List, in either the OPAC or the staff client, for some Lists, the title is absent
15:40 title of the list, that is
15:40 cait hi #koha
15:41 sekjal In the OPAC, you see Lists ---> <em>List Name</em> normally
15:42 but if this is the 21st or greater Public List, the List Name is missing
15:42 (21st or greater when sorted by shelfnumber ascending)
15:58 jcamins Yay! I successfully added "Auction date" to the staff search.
15:58 sekjal wehoo!

16:06 sekjal okay, got a preliminary patch, now testing
16:10 looks good
16:30 jcamins Okay, this is really weird.
16:30 Our logs are wrong.
16:31 sekjal jcamins: how so?
16:31 jcamins The biblios that they report were modified weren't, and the ones that were modified aren't reported.
16:33 sekjal very odd
16:33 jcamins The Info column shows the correct modifications, though.
16:33 sekjal is there the correct number of modifications, can you tell?
16:34 jcamins I think so.
16:34 I'm not entirely certain, though.
16:34 I will try modifying things, and see if I can reproduce the problem.
16:35 wizzyrea_ left #koha
16:40 jcamins The right number of log entries, but I have no idea what it's doing.
16:40 sekjal any chance the biblionumber is being confused with the itemnumber?
16:40 jcamins Yep.
16:40 That's it.
16:40 sekjal should be an easy fix, then
16:41 jcamins When we edit an item, it claims that we edited a biblio and shows just the 952.
16:41 And, of course, the biblionumber it suggests is completely bizarre.
16:41 schuster joined #koha
16:42 jcamins Modifying biblios seems to show up properly.
16:42 As does adding items.
16:43 Deleting a biblio results in a broken link, which is kind of silly, but understandable.
16:44 sekjal hmmm
16:45 jcamins I'll create an item and delete it to see what happens.
16:46 It shows up properly in the log, but the link doesn't go to the record it was deleted from.
16:46 Which is surely a bug.
16:47 sekjal sounds like
16:48 jcamins Instead it goes to a valid-looking page showing an item with no fields filled in, but when you try to go to a view of the biblio, you get an error.

17:29 owen hdl, are you available for a question?
17:29 hdl yes ?
17:30 owen Bug 4048 had been marked as "patch sent" at one point. Is that something Biblibre has in a development branch?
17:30 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4048 normal, P5, ---, nahuel.angelinetti, NEW, js libs must be outside of translated paths
17:30 owen And are your branches available to view on the web? http://git.biblibre.com doesn't work anymore
17:31 hdl we had a some trouble lately.
17:31 git.biblibre.com should come back next week
17:34 It seems strange that nahuel marked that as patch sent if he sent no patches for that.
17:34 marking it as open is sound to me
17:34 owen hdl: Okay, I was going to try doing some work on it, and I didn't want to duplicate someone else's efforts

19:19 jcamins owen: that doesn't sound good.
19:19 owen Oh, speaking of which: sekjal you were looking for that usetablesforcirc patch again?
19:20 wizzyrea_ owen: omg, koha is becoming sentient?
19:21 owen It sounds good, but I think really it would stop answering questions and go bum around Europe for a while.
19:21 wizzyrea_ :)
19:21 sekjal owen: I was able to get it
19:21 wizzyrea_ *sniff* it's growing up, isn't it
19:23 chris wiki updaed
19:24 with foundation/association stuff
19:24 owen chris++
19:24 chris i knew we had talked about al this before :)
19:24 wizzyrea_ chris++
19:24 owen Sounded vaguely familiar, eh?
19:24 wizzyrea_ heh
19:24 chris yeah, i remember a vote, and everything
19:25 jcamins chris++
19:25 wizzyrea_ we had these long meetings...
19:25 jcamins The "Forming a Koha Foundation" page has a really long list of 1s in the middle.
19:26 chris and ppl agreed to transfer assets to HLT, and everyone did
19:26 owen And you were there, and you were there, and you were there! It all seemed so real...
19:26 jcamins Is anyone working on that page, or shall I remove them?
19:26 chris well everyone except one company
19:26 go for it jcamins
19:26 wizzyrea_ owen really did almost get sucked up in a tornado last night
19:26 chris i did realise what annoyed me most
19:26 wizzyrea_ what's that
19:27 chris it was the complete disregard for the past
19:27 in the initial mail, and then in those who responded saying, yeah forget the past
19:27 and i know why
19:27 its what racists say about the treaty of waitangi here in nz too
19:28 it probably jarred lenora the same way
19:28 took me a while to figure out what it was i actually objected to
19:28 jcamins I can't figure out how to fix it.
19:28 wizzyrea_ I think it's fine that we remember what they did, it's not like they can un-do
19:28 they can only try to be better.
19:29 chris not even that
19:29 more that we hadnt even considered
19:29 and agreed on a course of action
19:29 wizzyrea_ oh, yea, and now they're like HEY, consider US
19:29 chris yeah
19:29 wizzyrea_ erm...
19:29 well...
19:29 chris ;)
19:29 jcamins: ill take a look
19:30 wiki syntax is a black art
19:30 owen What bugs me is "We have decided that we shall form a foundation and please let us know if you want in on that."
19:30 jcamins chris: Thanks.
19:31 owen And then we're supposed to fall over ourselves with gratitude.
19:31 wizzyrea_ let me tell you what I am grateful for:
19:32 I am grateful that at the very least we're talking about it again.
19:32 because I think that's good.
19:32 and I am grateful that there will be many smart people considering the options
19:33 owen Very true. It's possible that this will actually lead to an agreement that everyone is happy with.
19:33 I *still* think there are conditions that we don't know about yet
19:33 wizzyrea_ I think you're probably right about that
19:35 chris hows that now jcamins
19:35 jcamins Much better, thanks!
19:36 chris cool
19:36 so now, we just wait for the ptfs proposal
19:36 and we can whack it into the matrix along with all the rest

20:01 jcamins Just pointing out that I can't offer my opinion if I don't know what everyone's talking about. :)
20:02 chris :)
20:02 * chris_n seems to remember being here once before
20:03 jcamins I actually wasn't, so I'm not ignoring the past. ;)
20:03 * chris_n tries to shake himself awake... only to find he already is awake
20:04 chris put it on the wiki
20:04 is my new
20:04 "send a patch":
20:06 chris_n ahh... jim provides more wiki fodder
20:06 chris yeah i replied saying put it on the wiki
20:06 chris_n that's probably the most informative post I've seen in this entire thread(s)
20:06 wizzyrea_ he actually does have quite a bit of very recent experience with forming a 501c3 foundation, as he just spearheaded creating the NEKLS foundation :)
20:07 chris_n its very nice to have that sort of experience/expertise on board imho
20:07 chris yup
20:07 chris_n I'd like to see similar information from other countries as well
20:08 chris there is a bit about nz already
20:08 http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ation#New_Zealand
20:08 jims stuff should go under
20:08 wizzyrea_ < personally would probably rather see it in another country, on principle
20:09 chris http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ion#United_States
20:09 *nod*
20:09 jcamins Having just established a regular, for-profit LLC, I have to say that I think Jim is undervaluing his understanding of forming non-profits.
20:10 * jcamins would agree with wizzyrea
20:10 * chris_n is a fan of HTL
20:10 chris the more i think about tit
20:10 it
20:10 lol
20:10 wizzyrea_ lol
20:10 best typo ever.
20:11 chris the more i think about it, the more i like SPI, or just leaving it with HLT
20:11 since they both already exist
20:11 * owen finds that this discussion always makes him want to defer to someone smarter
20:12 wizzyrea_ this and the licensing discussion
20:12 chris im all about SEP
20:12 schuster Yep I agree with owen and wizzyrea
20:12 * chris_n keeps waiting for thd-away to fire his guns
20:12 chris id like to just write some code
20:13 * brendan finds he's leaning more and more towards SPI or something similar
20:13 chris HLT exist, covered by super strong laws and auditors and are outside us legal jurisdiction
20:13 which is 3 wins in my book
20:13 owen "neener-neener-neener"
20:13 chris :)
20:14 ebegin joined #koha
20:14 jcamins What's SEP?
20:14 owen Given past history I would be surprised if PTFS was willing to go agree to HLT
20:14 chris Someone Elses Problem
20:14 jcamins Ah.
20:15 chris yeah, for that i lean to SPI
20:15 as a compromise position
20:17 owen chris I thought you had said Software Freedom Conservancy
20:17 schuster left #koha
20:18 chris yeah i change my mind daily
20:18 * owen doesn't know what SPI is
20:18 chris spi seems a little more democratic
20:18 chris_n heh
20:18 chris http://spi-inc.org/
20:18 * owen liked the SFC member list at least
20:18 chris they look after stuff for debian
20:19 * chris_n heads for home
20:19 chris and drupal and openoffice etc
20:19 http://www.spi-inc.org/projects
20:19 oh and postgres
20:20 owen I guess using Drupal for their site was a conflict of interest, hence Plone :)
20:20 wizzyrea_ that's like getting in the deep end of the pool. I like it

21:49 CGI244 Hey everyone, I'm having trouble with the OPAC giving "No results match your search" for every search query while the staff client has no problem. I have googled this problem and tried everything I found (hiding lost items is not enabled, and neither is suppression) but to no avail. I'm running a fresh install of Koha "Harley". Any suggestions for what to try or check next?
21:50 wizzyrea_ http://koha-community.org/docu[…]on/faq/searching/
21:51 though you're not really running koha. the harley is a proprietary fork of koha
21:51 it's easy to be confused
21:52 CGI244 Ok...I've tried all of those suggestions...
22:03 Any thing else I can check?
22:25 rhcl left #koha
22:31 wizzyrea_ sorry, the harley people will have to help you with that and they're not around. :(
22:31 CGI244 Gotcha, thanks!

23:25 brendan later all - have a great weekend :)
