00:40 wasabi lol, PTFS fail...
00:40 ... remind me not to vote for that one during the meeting :)
00:41 jo :)
00:41 wasabi 40%, so funny
00:41 jo Its good we know their terms now though.
00:42 would love to know they paid for that tiny wee domain name that - and who would have thought it be perceived to have sooo much negotiating value
00:45 wasabi oh well, they make the 'approach they favour' really unattractive to participants
00:45 so they shoot that option in the foot, right there...
00:46 jo it may appeal to some though, and thats cool. At least we have something from them to discuss.
00:46 wasabi yep, all good

01:57 jcamins_a Is the new templating system easier to work with?
01:57 jcamins_a is now known as jcamins
01:58 robin jcamins: do you mean the HTML template change for 3.4?
01:58 jcamins Right, sorry.
01:58 robin because if so: yes is the short answer.
01:58 yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees is the long answer.
01:58 jcamins Good.
01:59 chris :)
01:59 if you wanna get a jump on it

01:59 jcamins Yeah, I was just looking at that.

02:02 chris we used to have a marc free interface up until 2.2.x
02:02 jcamins I will write RFCs when I'm coherent, but the current template system scares me. ;)
02:02 chris we had simple, and non simple
02:02 id love to have it back
02:03 jcamins Yeah, I think it may be a requirement for me- clients should be able to catalog their own books if they so desire.
02:04 chris exactly
02:04 we should be able to hide all the gory stuff from them
02:04 jcamins Plus, not all my interns know MARC, and not all my interns should need to know MARC.
02:05 chris *nod*
02:05 * richard wonders if anyone really needs to know MARC or if they just have to know it
02:06 jcamins Well, according to thd, the original plan was that no one would work directly with MARC.
02:06 I think it was thd.
02:06 chris yup hence its MARC not HARC
02:07 jcamins HURC, actually. ;)
02:07 chris :)
02:07 jcamins ...
02:07 chris true
02:07 jcamins That is rather apt, isn't it?
02:07 chris HURT maybe
02:07 :)
02:08 jcamins Yesterday I was training one of my interns on cataloging.
02:09 "Yes, exactly right. Except we also need to note the series. In two places. Oh, did I mention that we need a genre heading? Make sure your 008 is all filled in..."
02:09 chris heh
02:11 jcamins We catalogers really don't appreciate how staggeringly complex and byzantine MARC is.

13:18 owen jcamins: It certainly looks like a souped-up OPAC
13:18 jcamins Yeah, it's impressive.
13:18 owen Looks like they've created their own template
13:18 jcamins Ah.
13:19 owen And when doing so removed the meta tag indicating their Koha version
13:20 Oh wait, it isn't even a 3.x version. It's a 2.x version!
13:20 http://www.galileo.aur.it/cgi-[…]ha/opac-search.pl
13:21 jcamins Oh.
13:21 Well, I guess that explains why it looks so different!
13:21 How can you tell what version it is? I'm looking in the source, and I don't see any indication at all.
13:22 owen There isn't. I just recognize the advanced search page
13:22 jcamins Ah.
13:22 owen It's based on a template I designed
13:22 sekjal yeah, the template is named 'npl', I see from the source code
13:22 owen Yup. :)
13:23 circa 2003
13:23 sekjal wow... librarianship wasn't even on my radar back then, let alone working with open source software
13:23 amazing how time works, sometimes
13:24 jcamins 7 years ago I thought I would become a computer scientist.
13:25 * jcamins pauses to think about that statement, and decides to ignore where it was made ;)
13:26 * owen wonders if those heavily customized templates are part of the reason AUR hasn't upgraded
13:26 jcamins Yeah, I was thinking that.
13:28 Well, this serves to prove my claim that it's important that local changes should be incorporated into HEAD to avoid upgrade problems.

14:05 reva hi all, good morning; I am coming up with an error 404 when I try to look at an bib record from the log. Is that the normal way it displays deleted records?
14:07 jcamins reva: Yes.
14:07 Once they have been deleted, they can't be displayed.
14:08 reva jcamins: understood: so a 404 error is for deleted bib records. So do the log entries stay on forever?:)
14:09 * owen has "manage deleted records/items feature"  on his wish list
14:10 reva owen: thanks; I was not searching for them as a regular search; only clicking the bib no. shown in the log for the deleted item. (just to clarify.)
14:11 I meant click the link for the deleted BIB record number shown in the log.
14:15 cait joined #koha
14:15 cait hi #koha
14:24 reva is there any way to change the display constant for 700, 710 and 711 to Related Authors in the OPAC display constant? Right now it says Authors in the OPAC. but Related Authors in staff side.
14:26 cait reva: not in the configuration, file a bug report about the difference
14:27 reva cait: hi, and thanks. How do I file the bug report? (May be it is alright in 3.2?)
14:31 cait: when I went into the MARC structure subfield edit, there is a OPAC name display. I do not know what that is for because it is different from Authors which is what I see in OPAC (in fact it says for example for the 700, Personal Name in the subfield edit).
14:34 cait left #koha
14:35 reva Ok, I have a record and it does not have main entry, only a 710 (Corporate Author) entry. When I look at it in staff side, it says Additional Authors, but on the OPAC it puts it with the title combined with the word "by".
14:36 how does that situation work in 3.2?
14:39 cait joined #koha
14:41 cait reva: sorry, I am on a train - not the best internet connection here
14:48 ivanc joined #koha
14:48 ivanc hallo #koha
14:51 reva ok, cait: I will wait for you to get in. But never mind about the Text to display in OPAC in the subfield edit, it only affects the expanded view label in OPAC. But the problem with it treating an Added Author (in the 700, 710 and 711) with a "by" after the Title (when there is no Main Entry) still is a problem.
14:53 cait reva: I think you should write up what is wrong and file a bug report
14:53 * chris_n actually makes work available to the community *before* it is applied to his production system...
14:53 chris_n :-)
14:54 cait hi chris_n - did I mis something?

15:06 chris_n I sent one about 12 mins ago
15:08 hdl Message has implicit destination
15:08 here is the reason
15:08 Kivutar joined #koha
15:08 chris_n which means?
15:08 should I cc it to patches?
15:12 hdl: possibly a mailman misconfiguration?
15:12 tajoli joined #koha
15:12 chris_n we must use patches@lists.koha-community.org
15:12 rather than patches@koha-community.org
15:12 but maybe mailman expects to see patches@koha-community.org

15:32 jcamins Hm. Does anyone know what the Chrome auto-complete is doing in the cataloging module?
15:32 owen ?
15:34 Can you elaborate jcamins ?
15:34 jcamins I've been entering "Near Eastern History" in 852a. Strangely, if I use the auto-complete, it puts "Near Eastern History" not just in that field, but also in 100c.
15:34 (I'm checking to see if it changes anything else, too)
15:35 810c.
15:35 ivanc left #koha
15:35 jcamins Wait, _every_ subfield c.
15:35 And 856n.
15:36 Not 700c.
15:36 720a has something completely different.
15:37 My conclusion is that I should not use auto-complete, but it's really kind of weird.
15:37 ivanc joined #koha
15:37 ivanc left #koha
15:38 jcamins And 533f has something that looks like it came from a 245c.
15:39 490a has the same thing, and 440p has what looks like a publisher from 260b.
15:40 I'm just going to go ahead and disable auto-fill.
15:41 @monologue
15:41 munin jcamins: Your current monologue is at least 12 lines long.
15:45 jcamins I think I've scared everyone away. :(
15:45 * jwagner peers out from under the table. Is it safe yet?
15:45 * jcamins puts a bowl of cookies out in a very visible location to entice people out from under the table
15:45 jwagner Mmmmmmmmmmm
15:46 owen Man, if only I had as many real cookies as are offered in #koha
15:46 jwagner Then we'd all have to change the channel from #koha to #weightwatchers
15:48 rhcl Somebody needs to invent sugar-free, fat-free, carb-free, calorie-free chocolate chip cookies that taste reallly really good.
15:51 * jwagner thinks this is a contradiction in terms
15:51 rhcl sadly yes
15:52 owen Can we talk about something else? Lunch is still an hour away!
15:53 jwagner it's all jcamins's fault!  The rest of us are INNOCENT, I say!!!
15:53 rhcl We can "fudge" it to 30 minutes probably.
15:53 * jwagner pretends I didn't hear that....
15:53 owen That really takes the cake
15:55 jcamins :)
15:56 jwagner rhcl is just trying to curry favor with jcamins :-)
15:56 owen Can we sandwich some useful conversation in with these bad puns?
15:57 jwagner nah. It's Friday.  Brains don't work on Fridays....

16:12 wizzyrea_ ... i'm sad that I'm missing this conversation
16:12 :)
16:13 chris_n wizzyrea_: !!
16:13 did you get my message?
16:13 I fixed your label bugs
16:13 wizzyrea_ about the patches to the labels?
16:13 jwagner wizzyrea_, folks are just hamming it up as usual
16:13 jcamins wizzyrea_: just sad, or are you also a bit cheesed?
16:13 wizzyrea_ I saw!
16:14 owen she's a tough cookie, she can handle it
16:14 wizzyrea_ I was so happy
16:14 I will test them first thing next week, I"m out of the office today
16:14 owen Pleased as punch you might say
16:14 chris_n wizzyrea_: have you noticed any problems with text wrapping on labels?
16:14 wizzyrea_ hm. In what context?
16:15 chris_n lines overrunning the right edge of the label
16:15 wizzyrea_ call number splitting works like a peach
16:15 only when we've got the font too big, and it's the only word on the line
16:15 chris_n ahh... you're not printing circ labels then?
16:15 moodaepo joined #koha
16:16 chris_n we put the title of the book on our circ labels and had some problems, so I fixed up the wrap code a bit
16:16 wizzyrea_ we only print labels for inside the book with titles/acqdate/barcode
16:16 I haven't noticed or had any complaints about the wrapping
16:16 chris_n ok
16:16 wizzyrea_ but I am for improvements :)
16:17 chris_n now I feel just peachy
16:17 don't want any lemons in the labels code
16:17 owen I'm glad you keep souping it up
16:18 rhcl those are all poor 'fig'ures of speech.
16:18 jcamins That labels code is just the apple of your eye, isn't it?
16:18 * wizzyrea_ is figgling
16:18 wizzyrea_ it certainly doesn't need any pruning
16:19 * chris_n munches contentedly on a literal apple :-)
16:19 * wizzyrea_ can't find any way to use "kumquat," is sad.
16:19 rhcl but for chris, fixing the labels was a piece of pie.
16:20 chris_n that's slick as a banana peal rchl

16:21 wizzyrea_ I wonder how we go about currying favor with the outliers in the koha user community
16:21 reva Hi again, when I install 3.2 on Debian, can I configure the Reports to some other speradsheet program such as Open Officee (because I will not have access to my windows OS and it is right now configured to use Excel in my 3.0.6)
16:22 wizzyrea_ it's ez, it's just CSV
16:22 it'll work with any spreadsheet program
16:22 rhcl It's pie, wizzy, easy as pie
16:23 <what was that movie?>
16:23 reva Ok, got it wizzyrea. What is CSV? I remember the expression "currying favors" to mean butter them up to extract something from the party curried up. Is that correct?
16:24 jcamins Comma Separated Values.
16:24 It can be read by any spreadsheet program.
16:25 owen rhcl: 2010
16:25 reva Ok jcamins: I thought wizzyrea was telling me to change the spreadsheet program it points to from somewhere called CSV:).
16:26 wait, I will find it from the Admin module.
16:27 rhcl CSV is just a simple file format where values are separated by commas, which can be imported by nearly all spreadsheet programs. <I feel like I might be jumping from the frying pan into the fire here>
16:27 reva had a very dicey rendition of "currying favors"
16:32 * jcamins toasts to rhcl's mastery of the food bun
16:32 jcamins Errr, pun. ;)
16:32 reva rhcl: ok, to give away I am originally from Tamil Nadu, India from whose language the word curry was borrowed into English. I thought we learned the interpretation of the idiom in middle school. But what does the authorities say is the meaning?
16:32 wizzyrea_ "seek favor by fawning or flattery;"
16:33 reva just as I thought wizzyrea: :)
16:33 wizzyrea_ oh chris_n, you're so smart, I could never be as smart as you. could anybody, really? (an example)
16:33 but also true >.>
16:33 * chris_n feels like he is dripping with butter :)
16:34 jwagner Does that mean chris_n is toast???
16:34 chris_n HA!
16:34 * jcamins thinks wizzyrea isn't fudging
16:35 * jwagner just wishes the lunchtime food order would get delivered, so I can eat food instead of reading bad puns about it :-)
16:35 chris_n burnt toast most likely
16:35 wizzyrea_ he's certainly sweet, like cinnamon toast
16:35 jwagner So long as he's not in a jam.
16:35 reva ok, well I am one of the outliers willing to be curried up when I return to the US to test the cataloging aspects of Koha. You guys have helped us so much here already (and will continue to also in the future), the least I could do.
16:35 rhcl reva: no no. You have it down perfectly!
16:36 reva: so where do you live? the US or India?
16:36 reva Ok,  from the land of curry and CWG gone awry.:(
16:36 chris_n getting out of a jam can be real sticky for someone who's already toast
16:37 reva neither place, in Antigua and Barbuda.
16:37 rhcl ah, ok
16:37 jwagner chris_n, you'd have to be nuts to try.
16:37 reva It is the one place on earth where the Indians have not opened a restaurant:(
16:37 rhcl this conversation is getting too flakey, I'm off to scavenge for real-world food
16:38 reva: no, we don't have one here where I live either, and it would be most welcome
16:38 reva Ok, thanks for the info on CSV rhcl:
16:38 rhcl is now known as rhcl_rice
16:38 reva and where do you live rhcl:?
16:39 rhcl_rice St. Joseph, MO, USA
16:39 * jwagner cheers! The food has arrived. I am heading off to deal with it appropriately.
16:39 reva that is surprising, they left out a place in the US of A. Bye for lunch:)
16:49 ok, anyone coming back from lunch can answer this for me?: When I have the Author Added Entry (700, 710, 711) in a record, the staff side display shows it as Additional Authors, but the OPAC shows just places it next to the Author Main Entry?
16:49 joetho left #koha
16:50 jcamins reva: yes, that's what it does.
16:51 If you think that's a bug, you should file a bug report.
16:52 reva jcamins: To continue, this would not be bad except when a record has no Author Main Entry, but only an Author Added Entry (as happens when the a book contains essays by several authors , and an editor), in the OPAC Koha places it next to the title with the combining word "by".
16:53 how do I report the bug jcamins:? Maybe it got addressed in 3.2 which is what we will be installing.
16:53 jcamins http://bugs.koha-community.org/
16:53 reva jcamins: that is what cait also said, meaning it was probably a bug.
16:53 ok, I will report it.
16:54 jcamins I don't know, I would tend to think that the OPAC behavior is the correct behavior, and the staff behavior is unnecessarily confusing.
16:54 Patrons probably don't know what "author added entry" means.
16:54 Staff quite possibly don't know, for that matter.
16:55 reva well jcamins: look at the scenario I have given. The display constant in the OPAC for Added Author Entries should say "Additional Authors".
16:56 jcamins Regardless, the thing to do is report a bug.

17:16 CGI478 Hello, I downloaded KOHA for wmvare, but I cannot login
17:17 what is the username and password for koha?
17:17 jcamins_l CGI478: there should be some sort of documentation on the site you downloaded the Virtual Machine from.
17:17 jcamins_l is now known as jcamins
17:18 jcamins But I would guess it's kohaadmin:katikoan
17:19 CGI478 No, login incorrect
17:20 jcamins In that case I have no idea.
17:20 I'd look in the documentation from whoever created the Virtual Machine.
17:21 CGI478 yes, please. I cannot finf any docs on that project page
17:21 jcamins By the way, the Koha website is http://koha-community.org/
17:22 CGI478: is this the vm you downloaded? http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/928
17:23 Because that is very old.
17:24 CGI478 no, I downloaded from that site: http://kylehall.info/index.php[…]irtual-appliance/
17:25 jcamins That's newer, but still very old.
17:25 And I have no idea what the password would be.
17:25 kohaadmin:kohaadmin?
17:25 CGI478 aha. what is you recommendations?
17:25 no, I tried it
17:26 jcamins http://mizstik.com/projects/koha-livecd/
17:26 reva CG1478, write Kyle Hall, he is very good about responding. He will tell you the password, actually there should be a "red me" in the virtual appliance itself that tell you the password. Hope that helps.
17:26 jcamins The LiveCD is much more up-to-date.
17:26 hdl joined #koha
17:26 CGI478 OK, thank you very much!
17:27 reva I use the Koha virtual appliance Live CD from mizstik and it is the latest stable version 3.0.6. Kyle's is a little older.
17:27 CGI478 OK, I will try that release. Thank you!

17:38 druthb two wizzies may be too much awesomeness in one place.

19:32 fcapo hello, I have a problem. When I do a search in the catalog from the staff interface, everything works perfectly, but when I try the same search in the opac, all the accented characters in the results are broken.
19:35 Seems like a character encoding problem, but I made sure that everything is in utf-8. I even converted my marc files in utf-8 xml before importing then with bulkmarcdump.pl

19:40 lgw_wrt having trouble with a fresh installation of harley on a fedora 10 installation
19:40 can't get past the maintenance page on port 8080
19:42 jcamins lgw_wrt: I would suggest downloading Koha (Harley is a different product) from the Koha website at http://koha-community.org/ and trying that.
19:42 I don't think there's anyone here who uses Harley.
19:43 lgw_wrt harley was d/l'ed from the koha website.  it's the newest version (not the community supported one yet).
19:43 jcamins lgw_wrt: no, you downloaded it from koha.org.
19:44 The website for Koha is http://koha-community.org/ - unfortunately it's a little confusing.
19:44 lgw_wrt what is the difference?
19:44 jcamins koha.org is only LibLime.
19:45 lgw_wrt and koha-community?
19:45 jcamins Everyone else. :)
19:45 So when you hear about a feature on the mailing list, usually it's in Koha, not Harley.
19:45 chris ah ha!
19:45 jcamins chris: uh-oh. What?
19:46 chris so check this out
19:46 lgw_wrt so, this (http://downloads.ptfsinc.com/h[…]a-3.00.06.tar.gz) would be different from what's on koha-community?  (that's not what i d/l'ed, but what's on the front page for downloads)
19:47 jcamins I believe so, yes, although it looks like they updated the site a little bit since I last checked (it used to say the very latest version was 3.0.3).
19:47 But you probably want to use Koha 3.2.
19:48 lgw_wrt ok.  i'll go remove it and retest.  thanks
19:48 i'll probably be back
19:48 chris jcamins: http://opac.koha.workbuffer.or[…]rdl%2Crtrn%3Dfish
19:48 jcamins It says "3.02 beta," but we've been using it in production for months, and it works great. :)
19:48 chris thats our current search
19:48 http://opac.koha.workbuffer.or[…]rdl%2Crtrn%3Dfish
19:49 now with relevance ranking actually turned on
19:49 jcamins Ooh!
19:49 chris so i think the answer to amy is, its not doing relevance ranking by default
19:49 i have to do some more tests then ill have a patch for that
19:50 unfortunately i also have 3 libraries going live on monday and have to migrate their circ data today, then fly there tomorrow, so i may run out of time
19:50 lgw_wrt left #koha
19:51 jcamins owen: remember how you added better clone buttons to the cataloging module? It sounds like chris could use one. ;)
19:52 owen Yeah, but deleting instances after you clone is buggy, and chris wouldn't want that
19:52 jcamins Hm. Good point.
19:52 chris heh
19:53 ok im modding search.pm
19:53 so things will be changing
19:53 owen ...he said casually.
19:53 chris http://opac.koha.workbuffer.or[…]-search.pl?q=fish
19:53 there we go
19:53 relevance ranking on
19:54 much nicer results
19:54 jcamins Very nice.
19:55 mib_xvh8o left #koha
19:56 jcamins I had always just assumed that it was a configuration on our end that sorted the results by bibnumber.
19:59 chris well, its basically that we just arent actually turning the relevance ranking on
20:00 in buildQuery
20:00 have i mentioned i hate C4::Search lately
20:00 owen yeah but I'm not worried because I know you're going to whip it into shape chris
20:01 sekjal chris: very interesting.  I'm been trying to figure out 'secret sauce' of the current relevancy ranking for a while now, and keep coming up dry.  now it makes sense why
20:01 chris not me, gmcharlt is the poor^H^H^H^H lucky guy doing that
20:02 sekjal: yeah, the fact we arent actually doing it :)
20:02 easy fix
20:02 can you test for me to sekjal
20:02 line 1326
20:02 # Warnings if DEBUG
20:02 before that line add
20:03 fcapo Corrected my opac search results encoding problem by disabling pazpar2. Accented characters all working now.
20:03 chris $query = "rank,".$query;
20:04 sekjal sure thing, chris.  give me a sec to get my ducks aligned
20:04 chris ta
20:04 anyone else who wants to try too, id appreciate
20:06 it doesnt seem to cause any problems afaict, so if others can confirm ill send a patch
20:06 when you choose something else to sort by, that seems to work fine still too
20:08 fcapo left #koha
20:09 jcamins Looks to me like it works.
20:09 sekjal chris: adding that line breaks my search: where once there were results, now there are none
20:10 chris interesting sekjal, what version of koha?
20:11 and if you search on
20:11 ccl=rank,kw,wrdl,rtrn=cool it
20:11 (on your unmodified version)
20:11 does that work?
20:11 sekjal chris: current HEAD
20:12 and running that search on unmodded does work
20:12 reimplementing mod...
20:12 owen left #koha
20:13 jcamins I'm a bit behind.
20:13 My last patch is robin's fix for bug 5046.

20:13 chris right
20:13 jcamins It looks like the only stuff in between, though, is translation stuff.
20:13 chris yeah im on current HEAD too
20:14 yup
20:14 sekjal running the same search on modded yields the same results in teh same order
20:14 running just 'cool it' returns nothing
20:20 chris weird, they should return the same thing
20:20 which is what they do here, i wonder what is different
20:21 jcamins sekjal: is your IRC client Windows-based?

20:26 just before returning it
20:26 you might want to throw a warn in there too
20:26 then see if it looks like

20:26 or rank,ti,  etc

20:33 vs
20:33 http://opac.library.org.nz/cgi[…]rdl%2Crtrn%3Dfish
20:34 its much more understandable results when its actually ranking, its very obvious why that book is first :)
20:34 jcamins One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish is lost?!?
20:35 Will no one think of the children?
20:35 chris heh
20:36 jcamins Also, only one copy in the entire system?
