00:19 brendan_l darling we don't have voip - we do use skype ;)
00:20 bywater just has a 1800 number that we forward to cell phones
00:21 darling brendan_l, i guess there's worse things than skype
00:21 we're wanting to probably get a phone call together tomorrow if possible
00:21 I'll send you mail to explain
00:22 brendan_l cool
00:22 brendan@bywatersolutions.com
00:22 darling so -- you're in western US?
00:22 brendan_l I am about 5hours ahead of NZ on the clock but 19 hours behind by date
00:22 darling right
00:23 and we just had a time change here
00:23 hate that
00:23 my wife blames Reagan
00:23 brendan_l ah how recent was that?
00:23 darling night before last
00:23 brendan_l maybe we are only fours hours now
00:24 it's 5:30 pm
00:24 darling she's never liked Reagan but I'm with her on that
00:24 brendan_l agreed
00:24 darling ok, cool - is 1:30pm here right now
00:24 do you think Nicole would be available also?
00:25 I'll drop you a note and you can decide what makes sense.
00:25 brendan_l we just recently went to his presidential  library nearby -  cooliest thing was the had an old air-force one airplane there
00:26 darling nice
00:26 brendan_l but besides that we didn't like all the other stuff
00:26 darling i guess they do have to swap those out from time to time -- always think of it as one plane
00:26 hehe
00:26 brendan_l time to enjoy the sun for a bit
00:27 darling g'nite
00:27 * brendan_l will look for the email - when I'm back

09:36 magnus ouch?
09:38 chris another harley question on the list
09:38 magnus yeah, saw that...
09:39 slef one day I will catch up with the list, but I got tired of posting variations on "what does it say on your about page?"
09:39 At least software.coop has the decency to support our own fork until it is merged back into mainline... which I really need to progress on, once this bloody hardware stops messing me about.
09:45 chris i hate hardware
09:47 magnus ditto
09:51 mib_sq7uz I am trying to figure out how Koha all hangs together.....it's difficult......does anyone know if I can get to the raw data before the stylesheet is applied?
09:52 e.g. <xsl:for-each select="$available_items[generate-id() = generate-id(key('item-by-status-and-branch', concat(items:status, ' ', items:homebranch))[1])]">
09:53 how can I get to the place that defines the $available_items etc?
09:54 slef chris: the co-op is very much the hardware supplier of last resort. Other suppliers were only willing to provide Windows black box systems.
09:54 mib_sq7uz: read the code?
09:55 mib_sq7uz slef: :-)
09:56 slef mib_sq7uz: seriously: grep -rn available_items catalogue # or whatever bit of koha is using that.

10:00 kf mib_sq7uz: you are looking at an xslt variable, it is defined somewhere in the xslt stylesheet
10:00 not sure what you are searching for
10:06 magnus mib_sq7uz: http://perldoc.koha-community.org/ might help
10:07 slef I think mib_sq7uz is hoping for an schema or something which would allow its definition.
10:07 for the input to the xslt
10:26 mib_sq7uz Sorry....got caught up on something there.......slef: That is what I was hoping for, a document base which might reference that sort of thing.
10:26 I realise you guys are doing enough work building the app so I don';t mean to sound ungreatful

12:45 chris_n np, still here
12:45 kf chris_n: I was trying to create patron cards from the module, using the sample template and layout
12:46 but I always get an error or a pdf file I can't open :(
12:47 chris_n kf: open the pdf with a text editor and tell me the error indicated there
12:47 kf I am testing on my dev install now, I have a batch of patrons, HB-PC0001 and Test Layout, starting with 1
12:47 chris_n most likely you need the following two patches
12:47 http://git.koha-community.org/[…]/heads/k_bug_5182
12:47 kf An Error has Occurred!     Error 500
12:47 chris_n http://git.koha-community.org/[…]/heads/k_bug_5183
12:47 kf the koha error message
12:47 chris_n hmm
12:48 I've not seen that one
12:48 and that is what is inside of the corrupted pdf?
12:48 kf no, that's what happens in my dev install
12:48 my other install had the samples fiels not installed, so I added them manually
12:48 there the pdf can't be opened
12:49 I have not saved the file, let me redo it
12:49 chris_n yes, but open the pdf with a text editor such as vim
12:50 kf ok
12:50 hm
12:51 can't create it now, after I click on the pdf icon... nothing happens
12:51 the browser tab shows busy, but I get no result until our proxy timeout
12:52 chris_n I'm not sure what's wrong there; when I export a patron card batch using that template on HEAD, perl throws a hash ref related error
12:53 this is fixed by the patches I refer to above
12:53 kf ok
12:53 chris_n the error is inside the corrupted pdf
12:54 specifically it is: Not a HASH reference at /home/cnighswonger/Repositories/koha.​3.2.labels\/patroncards/create-pdf.pl line 144.
12:54 opps
12:54 an extra slash in there after 'labels', but you get the idea
12:55 kf chris_n: no pdf creation here - so perhaps a different problem :(
12:55 chris_n I cannot account for the 500 error
12:55 kf I am checking the logs now
12:55 chris_n maybe a file permission problem
12:56 kf hm perhaps graphics magick
13:03 mib_sq7uz anyone know how to stop the Collection description being truncated in the Item Details page? E.g collection  "Printable Collection A". Displays as "Printable C"

13:46 OpenUser Afternoon....My Koha 3.06 has a problem with the Availability showing differently on the opac-search.pl compared to the opac-detail screen. The former showing an item checked out, the latter as checked in. It should be Checked In.
13:46 Any ideas where to start?
13:47 sekjal OpenUser: is you Zebra cronjob running, and if so, how often?
13:47 OpenUser yep, every 2 mins
13:48 sekjal and the zebrasrv process is running?
13:49 OpenUser yep: ps -ef > /usr/bin/zebrasrv -v none,fatal,warn -f /etc/koha/koha-conf.xml
13:51 sekjal do other changes reflect themselves?  If you added a title, say, and waited two minutes, would you be able to retrieve it with search?
13:52 OpenUser yeah, in fact, it would update itself sooner that the 2 minutes
13:53 sekjal in opac-search.pl?
13:53 OpenUser Yes.
13:54 sekjal huh
13:54 well, then it doesn't seem to be a zebra issue, which is the most common explanation for such behavior
13:54 OpenUser It's a little strange, isn't it?

14:02 Topic for #koha is now Topic for #koha is Koha ILS | Don't ask to ask, just ask! | http://www.koha-community.org | http://paste.koha-community.org
14:12 OpenUser even a complete rebuild of the indexes didn't solve the problem.....
14:13 kf1 OpenUser: did you change something in your items table, using sql?
14:15 OpenUser now that you mention it, yeah. Couple weeks ago I updated the homebranch as it's a Single Branch site and there was NULL values there. I ran the mainteaince script after though....
14:16 kf1 is now known as kf
14:16 kf ok, so this does not really explain your problem than
14:16 we have used the sync script too a couple of times and it worked without problems
14:17 OpenUser would you expect to see this problem if I did update the items table and didn't run the script?
14:17 kf I think if the items tabel adn the marc_xml part differ, you can see such things
14:18 koha someties uses the xml for display and sometimes the items table information
14:18 sekjal what does your items.onloan value say for the item in question, and is it the same as the biblioitem.marcxml's 952 field for that item?
14:18 OpenUser one minute.....I'll check
14:20 jcamins_a is now known as jcamins
14:20 jcamins Morning, #koha
14:20 kf hi jcamins
14:20 all cards printed?
14:21 jcamins No, but we planned them.
14:21 I'm printing them letterpress, so it'll take a while.
14:22 OpenUser items.onloan says it was onload back in June.......
14:24 " biblioitem.marcxml's 952 field for that item".....can you help me out here? If I edit the same item the checked out date is the same as items.onloan and the type is LOANABLE
14:26 sekjal so the date in the 952$q is the same as the date in items.onloan?
14:28 OpenUser Sorry, I am a little confused. The bib for this record doesn't have a 952 tag. The item information (Bib>Edit>Item) shows the checked out date the same as the onloan date. Which is the last time it was checked out, but it has been checked back in since!
14:28 or do you mean the biblioitem table?
14:28 jcamins Hm. The "Cataloging" tab is giving me an error.
14:28 kf biblioitems.marc_xml
14:29 sekjal I mean the biblioitem table, viewing the raw MARCXML
14:29 OpenUser yeah, just twigged that's what you meant now, once sec
14:29 one sec
14:31 jcamins Okay, weird.
14:31 The error is only when I go from Local Use to Cataloging.
14:31 Ah.
14:31 Typo.
14:32 Should be "Cataloguing."
14:32 Braedon left #koha
14:32 OpenUser OK.....biblioitems.marcxml 952 $q = items.onloan
14:32 jcamins Someone remind me to write a patch tonight.
14:32 sekjal yes
14:32 kf jcamins: you want to have some fun? :)
14:32 jcamins :)
14:32 OpenUser So it that good or bad?
14:33 sekjal OpenUser: that's the correct mapping.
14:33 OpenUser:  what is the actual value for that specific item?
14:33 kf sekjal, jcamins: I have a branch with a lot of xslt work on $w links in records - I will try to get it in the public on the weekend
14:33 jcamins kf++
14:33 OpenUser <subfield code="q">2010-07-06</subfield>
14:34 sekjal OpenUser: and that's the same as your items.onloan value, I take it?
14:34 kf not sure it will work for others like for us, so I would really like it if you could look and make suggestions
14:34 OpenUser yes, exactly.
14:34 sekjal okay, so it's not a sync issue
14:34 and everything else updates normally... so it's not a Zebra issue
14:35 I'm really not sure what could be up with this.
14:35 OpenUser You can view it, if that helps!?
14:35 Imean the OPAC
14:36 sekjal what's your OPACResultsXSLT system preference set to?
14:37 OpenUser It's set to ON
14:37 Do you mean: XSLTResultsDisplay
14:37 in OPAC
14:37 kf wizzyrea: around?
14:37 sekjal OpenUser, ah, I mean OPACXSLTResultsDisplay
14:37 though, that patch may not be in 3.0.6...
14:38 if not, then yes, I mean XSLTResultsDisplay
14:38 OpenUser Doesn't exist, 3.06?
14:38 Braedon joined #koha
14:38 OpenUser OK, it's set to ON for XSLTResultsDisplay
14:38 sekjal link to OPAC?
14:39 OpenUser http://80.93.23.59
14:39 Search for "Architecture" then look at item 9
14:41 kf an outline of european architecture?
14:41 is available for me
14:41 sekjal okay, well, there is a logical inconsistency in your item data:  your date acquired is after the onloan date.
14:41 kf oh, that was number 8
14:41 * kf hides
14:41 OpenUser LOL
14:41 kf sorry :(
14:41 sekjal your system may think you lent the item before you every actually had it
14:42 OpenUser How's that?
14:42 sekjal the Date Acquired value (952$d) is 2010-09-07
14:43 so, your MARC record is showing the item was acquired in September, but was loaned in June and due in July
14:43 that doesn't make any sense, at least when thinking like a machine
14:43 magnus left #koha
14:44 OpenUser OK....this DB was migrated from another system, so I can't guarentee the source. However, and this might sound silly, but does Koha look in that much detail when, i.e the MARC data tag of Purchased Date, before allowing circ rules etc......
14:44 What I mean is, if I update this BIB to a purchased date in the past, do you think this will solve the problem!?
14:44 sekjal OpenUser: perhaps
14:45 it's the only thing I can think of right now
14:45 OpenUser OK..... I shall try it with this one bib....do I need to run anything other that Zebra when I make the change?
14:46 sekjal if you make the change with SQL, you'll need to sync
14:46 if you do it through the staff client, no
14:46 your cron will take care of it
14:46 OpenUser But thought Marc editor in the Staff?
14:46 Actually, forget that last line!

14:55 jcamins I was referring to the fact that their official website is .com.
14:55 But they own both.
14:56 wizzyrea I love this
14:56 A: LibreOffice is The Document Foundation's reason for existence. We do not have and will not have a commercial product which receives preferential treatment. We only have one focus - delivering the best free office suite for our users - LibreOffice.

15:35 rhcl_away http://www.documentfoundation.org/faq/  <-- very interesting. I wasn't aware of these recent organizational developments. I've just finished installing OxygenOffice everywhere.
15:40 owen Q: And why are you calling the software "LibreOffice" instead of "OpenOffice.org"?
15:40 A: The OpenOffice.org trademark is owned by Oracle Corporation. Our hope is that Oracle will donate this to to the Foundation, along with the other assets it holds in trust for the Community
15:44 rhcl_away I'd be interested in a diff of the two codebases (OOo vs LO)
15:45 wizzyrea i'm about to install LO
15:45 icon's the same >.>
15:46 rhcl_away KohaLibre and LibreKoha are both hard to pronounce. I like Tiger Koha much better.

15:49 Played with it once, seemed a little slow. I though it was GPL'd, but the current license isn't immediately apparent to me from IBMs web site.
15:51 OpenUser Still struggling.......if I check the item out then back in again it updates something* and the two screens (results and details) now match. Weird!
15:54 Anyway.....last one for the day! Any easy way to get the collection code on the OPAC results screen?
16:01 owen OpenUser: No
16:02 Collection code is generally considered to be an item-level piece of information

16:25 kf jcamins: we have a lot of linked authorites
16:26 jcamins: or better a lot of authorities linked by $9 to the records
16:26 jcamins Right.
16:26 The problem I have is that the authority record contains fields that authority records shouldn't contain.
16:27 (subfield 'e' for personal names, for example)
16:29 And it'd be really nice if we supported subfield authorities.

16:47 wizzyrea no facility in batch item edit to unset a status like "not for loan"
16:47 ?
16:47 or change it to <null>
16:48 jcamins wizzyrea: yes, created an authorized value, and make one of the options 0.
16:48 :)
16:48 wizzyrea OOOO
16:48 karma for you if that works
16:49 jcamins I think the batch edit doesn't work for one of the item fields, unfortunately.
16:49 wizzyrea mmm
16:49 jcamins Let's hope it's not the field you need to change.
16:50 wizzyrea no, I just need to change not for loan to loanable
16:51 alas

17:07 reva Good afternoon y'all. I have a question regarding 245c in Koha 3.2. On the OPAC, does it show Title / Statement of Responsibility ? Because in my 3.0.6, 245c is set to show; but is showing only when I do the Card view (OPAC) and ISBD view (Staff side). The customary practice seems to be to have it show in the normal view also(Look at LCCN : 95169646 )
17:08 jcamins reva: it does not seem to show, no.
17:09 wajasu joined #koha
17:10 reva Hi jcamins: maybe it is buggy? Because it is normal to show it at the head of the record even in Normal View.
17:10 jcamins reva: perhaps so, yes.
17:11 I would suggest filing a bug report, if one hasn't already been filed.
17:11 reva Yes, I will file it as suggestion then in the bug site, if there is no mention of it yet.
17:16 jcamins: would you ask (if you do not know it) about this?: In a set of search results, how do I set it so it shows "see also" references?
17:20 joetho left #koha
17:22 joetho joined #koha
17:22 jcamins reva: I have no idea how to get See Also references to show in the OPAC.
17:22 I don't think you can.
17:23 reva jcamins: another thing I noticed: I have a 100 (Main entry-personal name) and a 710 (Added entry-corporate name), I have the proper MARC/ISBD paragraph punctuation: Taylor, B.N. But in the OPAC display it squished the semantic elements together from the 100 and 710 fields.
17:23 jcamins It'd be a very nice feature.
17:24 reva jcamins: do the "see also "see from" references show for you in staff side?
17:24 jcamins I don't think I have any authority records with See references.
17:24 Oh, they show up when I'm searching for an authority.
17:25 (to link)
17:26 reva yes, for me to; but the other functionality of an authority is to lead the CATALOG user to other forms of the name, etc. Anyhow, about the other issue I just mentioned: 100, 710 entries squishing is for the very LCCN record: 95169646. You can import into your database and see for yourself
17:27 kf reva: you can activate authority search for opac too
17:28 reva how do I activitate Authorites in OPAC? from where in the admin module?
17:28 kf there it shows the see also forms, I don't think showing them in the catalog directly is very user friendly
17:28 I dont know the right sys pref name
17:28 search for authorities
17:29 sekjal is now known as sekjal_a
17:29 kf and a click on an author in the opac will find all titles - if there is an authority behind it
17:29 I have to go now, quite late here
17:29 bye all!
17:30 kf left #koha
17:30 reva ok, I will search authorities in sys pref. But as far as I can see, the only option among the four in that module that might do this is: AuthDisplayHierarchy. Could it be the one? (It is currently off in my settings.)
17:32 jcamins Maybe. Why don't you try it?
17:32 The worst thing that will happen is that things will stop working, and then you can just disable it again.
17:33 reva jcamins: ok, :) here it goes.
17:36 joetho left #koha
17:38 reva well what kf just wrote about clicking the links in OPAC and bringing up other works by the same author already worked for me. But I am not sure what turning on the AuthDisplayHierarchy did. Could you point me to a couple of good records in LC for testing the "see also" and "see from"?
17:41 jcamins Not really, no.
17:42 Maybe search for Mark Twain?
17:42 And Samuel Clemens?
17:42 reva ok, I will look under the fail-proof Clemens, Samuel Longhorn.:)
17:42 jcamins That's the only example that comes to mind.
17:44 reva believe it or not, even before I got into the bowels of this, mark twain was the choice for me; I did not know then that he was a staid search authority search for developers. And without any exposure, another author I always input tested was Thomas Mann.
