00:04 jcamins Anyone know where the patch for bug 5101 got to?
00:04 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5101 trivial, PATCH-Sent, ---, oleonard, ASSIGNED, Creators tab isn't highlighted when selected

00:14 per google
00:15 jcamins Oh, sorry, that wasn't a literal "where is the patch" question.
00:15 It was more of a "where in the process is the patch" question.
00:21 chris_n its marked for HEAD, so it will probably appear in the 3.4 branch when it appears
00:21 jcamins Okay.
00:21 Thanks.
00:22 chris_n np
00:22 jcamins How do I make sure that a file deletion shows up in my patch?
00:22 I think you have to do something special?
00:22 chris_n git rm <file-to-remove>
00:23 jcamins Thanks.
00:24 chris_n good luck wasabi
00:25 jcamins Heh.
00:25 wasabi no, good luck to the current site-admins of www.koha.org...
00:25 jcamins It could happen.
00:25 * chris_n holds his breath
00:26 wasabi ... its currently *their* stupid problem, not mine
00:26 chris_n fortunately it is impossible to hold one's breath to the point of death :-)

00:28 wasabi a problem with a rather obvious solution too
00:30 brendan_l left #koha
00:30 jcamins Hm.
00:30 I guess there's no way to e-mail a patch to the bugzilla to attach to a bug?
00:31 chris_n I'm not sure... chris would probably know
00:31 jcamins In the meantime I guess I'd better download my patch so I can upload it...
00:34 Oh, you can attach by URL.
00:34 wasabi aah, thats way cool
00:35 jcamins git send-email isn't a git command?
00:35 What?
00:36 * jcamins bangs his head on the table
00:37 jcamins Why doesn't git send-email work on Debian?
00:38 wasabi its a separate package
00:38 jcamins Ah.
00:38 Any idea what the package is?

00:39 jcamins It says it's broken. :(
00:39 wasabi http://packages.debian.org/lenny/git-email
00:40 ive got the backports version...
00:40 http://packages.debian.org/len[…]ckports/git-email
00:41 jcamins I think I am very unimpressed with Debian's packaging system.
00:41 However, I think that did it.
00:41 Thanks.
00:42 wasabi well, its about 10,00 times faster than my lappy's darwin-ports
00:42 jcamins Woohoo! git send-email works!

01:41 Oh, speaking of which.
01:42 wasabi: when you change your OpacNotPublic patch to an OpacPrivate patch, let me know and I'll sign off on it.
01:49 @later tell owen Do you want me to sign-off on your patch for bug 3013?

13:11 * jwagner hides from everyone....
13:11 * druthb wants to hide a lot, lately.
13:11 owen #koha is a good place to hide
13:12 druthb That depends on what you're hiding *from*, owen.  It's about as good a place to hide as the middle of a football field, for me.
13:13 owen This place is so quiet lately though
13:14 lgw_wrt joined #koha
13:15 lgw_wrt looks like last night's fixes are working
13:15 but i could still use some MARC help if anyone is willing to provide it...
13:17 jcamins lgw_wrt: I can't promise anyone will be able to help, but if you ask your question, someone might be able to at least suggest where to look for the answer.
13:18 lgw_wrt i figured...so here goes
13:19 I've never created MARC records before, and they appear to be very overwhelming.
13:19 I'd like to create something for my organization that represents our CD/DVD/BD archives
13:19 Some discs have one project, some have many.  FIle listings would be great in the description.
13:19 I just don't know where to start that is not as confusing as the templates i've seen online
13:22 jcamins Ah. Unfortunately I mostly avoid cataloging non-book formats.
13:24 Well, that's fortunate for me, but not so fortunate for you. ;)
13:24 lgw_wrt :)
13:25 would Koha not be the right solution for what I want?
13:25 owen lgw_wrt: We have CD-ROMs in our collection, but a quick look doesn't turn up any examples which include a file listing.
13:25 http://search.myacpl.org/cgi-b[…]it=mc-ccode%3ACDR
13:25 I'm not a cataloger, so I can't tell you any more than that.
13:26 jcamins lgw_wrt: no, it probably would be, I just don't have any advice more helpful than "the MARC format documentation describes the 007 field (and all the others)."
13:28 owen lgw_wrt: Any sane person would be asking "is MARC the right solution for what I want?"
13:28 jcamins lgw_wrt: actually, I guess it depends. If all you want is a finding aid, you might be better off using Archivist's Toolkit.
13:28 owen But library people are not sane.
13:28 jcamins owen: you noticed? :)
13:29 lgw_wrt i'll take a look at both and see what looks right
13:29 collum lgw_wrt: We are not on Koha, but it looks like our catalogers put the contents in the 505 field.  http://bit.ly/bqzlc3
13:29 jcamins lgw_wrt: http://www.archiviststoolkit.org/
13:30 Do you have materials other than the disk archive?
13:30 lgw_wrt not right now
13:30 jcamins Do you lend the disks out?
13:31 lgw_wrt we do
13:31 that's why we're looking at this type of system.  we keep losing track on our hand-written sheets
13:31 jcamins Okay. I'm not sure how AT does with lending.
13:31 schuster Are the disks proprietary stuff or comercially produced stuff?
13:31 lgw_wrt proprietary
13:31 * collum is looking for CDRoms with file contents
13:32 lgw_wrt be back in a bit...
13:32 schuster Do the files have to be on disks or could you store them on servers?
13:32 lgw_wrt on discs...we archive to regain space.
13:32 i have to go handle another issue.  i'll be back in a while.  i'lll keep this open and check for comments when i get back
13:34 schuster lgw_wrt - yes the 505 - content note would be your best bet at first look on where to put file names.  The problem becomes if they cover different concerns.
13:34 Then you almost need to analytically catalog each file and indicate which disk it would be on and relate all of the titles.
13:35 A lot of it depends on the down the road what is your goal, and how much time you have to do the cataloging as it all looks like original cataloging.
13:36 You could probably pay a good cataloger to create a template so then you only have to put in a "FEW" of the tags rather than starting from scratch every time.

13:52 lgw_wrt each disc is for a specific archive, although some hold multiples.    cataloging each disc is relatively simple
14:04 tcohen joined #koha
14:10 lgw_wrt i'm thinking this may be beyond what i can do with my allotted resources.  i have no funding for this project, and no staff assistance (our IT dept is 2 people for 150 )
14:14 jcamins lgw_wrt: yeah, Koha might not be the right thing for you.

14:41 kmkale hi wizzyrea_
14:42 wizzyrea_ hi kmkale!
14:42 hi druthb!
14:47 Braedon ebegin: i have to run (and by run i mean sleep), but if you are using nozebra indexing, that could well be your problem. If you are using zebra, no clue sorry.
14:48 jcamins ebegin: the problem may be that you don't have dates in the 008 field.
14:48 lgw_wrt just imported a record created using "Archivist's Toolkit".  It imported successfully, but I can't seem to search for it.  Any advice?
14:48 Braedon is a zebra indexing job running?
14:49 lgw_wrt how do i check?
14:49 jcamins lgw_wrt: I've never used AT, I just know that it is good for archival collections.
14:50 lgw_wrt i created the MARC record using AT so I could have a "template" to work with
14:50 Braedon (the answer to all search related issues is blame zebra or nozerbra :P)
14:50 lgw_wrt the import into koha was successful, but i can't search for my record
14:50 jcamins Braedon: good night.
14:50 lgw_wrt: try reindexing?
14:50 lgw_wrt how?
14:50 jcamins rebuild_zebra.pl
14:51 Braedon but alas i really should get to bed, being 4am and all. sorry lgw_wrt, look on the wiki for zebra script stuffs
14:51 night jcamins
14:52 jcamins lgw_wrt: do you have any records in Koha?
14:52 Other than the one you just added, I mean.
14:52 lgw_wrt no.  that's where i've been struggling
14:52 jcamins Okay.
14:53 lgw_wrt error on rebuild_zebra...missing a perl module.  installing that right now
14:53 jcamins http://koha-community.org/docu[…]on/faq/searching/
14:55 wizzyrea_ is there something odd about the withdrawn authorized value?
14:55 something different from the other authorized values?
14:56 jcamins Well, we don't have any category for it, but I am imagining that's a misconfiguration on our part.
14:57 wizzyrea_ hmmm
14:58 lgw_wrt the debian install never created a kohauser, so scripts can't run under that user
14:58 jcamins lgw_wrt: how did you install Koha?
14:59 lgw_wrt sqeeuze/koha apt source
14:59 jcamins Hm.
14:59 When I did that it created a Koha user.
15:00 I think it was koha-[something].
15:00 lgw_wrt scripts also can't find c4 perl modules.
15:00 i'm thinking this is more of a headache than i need right now
15:00 i love the power of koha, but it's just too frustrating right now to get up and running for my environment
15:01 jcamins lgw_wrt: the FAQ gives you the command to put the C4 modules in your environment.
15:02 PERL5LIB=/wherever/koha/is
15:02 export PERL5LIB
15:02 Oh, you also need:
15:02 KOHA_CONF=/path/to/koha-conf.xml
15:02 export KOHA_CONF
15:03 However, since you have no resources for this project, I (personally) would probably tend to agree that administering Koha might be a bit much.
15:04 lgw_wrt maybe again in the future.
15:04 thanks to all for the assistance
15:06 jcamins You're welcome.
15:06 Good luck.

15:19 ebegin jcamins, sorry, I had to step away.  Concerning the search on the year, you are correct, i don't have data in the 008 field, the data I want to search is in the 260$c, which is the copydate index
15:21 jcamins ebegin: yeah, you can't limit on that.
15:21 However, it is possible to search on copydate.
15:22 If I can remember how...
15:22 ebegin Oh, that is why the seach on it works but not the limit
15:22 s/seach/search
15:23 Where are set the fields for the limit?
15:23 jcamins 008.
15:24 I don't know how to change that.
15:42 ebegin ok, thanks for the hint jcamins, i'll look into it

15:48 nengard question about the items table - what is stored in the reserves field? the current number of holds or all the holds ever placed on the item?
15:48 wizzyrea_ the 2nd

15:48 thanks
15:48 wizzyrea_ the old holds go to the deleted reserves
15:48 or old reserves
15:48 can't remember
15:48 but they move on outta there
15:49 had a situation just yesterday where I had to look up an accidentally deleted hold and sho nuff it was in the old reserves

16:13 reva hi all again, there is a .pl script called bulkauthorityimport in the same folder as the bulkmarcimport; has anyone here tried it? Also, do I pick "run" option in the options that come up when I "open"? (I mean does it run a GUI version of it as opposed to "run in terminal" option?
16:15 nengard sekjal helped me - report going to the wiki as soon as i eat
16:17 reva Just FYI: the link to the 3.2 manual on this page seems broken or something: http://koha-community.org/docu[…]/faq/authorities/
16:18 The link appears here: For more information, navigate to the 3.2 Manual and scroll down to section 1.4.1.3 and see the entry on ‘Thesaurus.’

16:28 owen Hi rhcl, did you get my reply to your patron search message?
16:36 reva hi anyone, as you know I run a Live CD version of Koha 3.0.6. It has gotten quite a few records, all done by trainee staff for practice. It would be too much work to correct them all. So I would like to reinstall the Koha part alone without starting from scratch (i.e., leave the ubuntu server untouched in ubuntu/koha appliance). Is there a way to do it?
16:36 druthb left #koha
16:36 rhcl owen: was away from desk for a sec, lemme look
16:37 reva Oh, I forgot to mention, my Live CD is right now in the VirtualBox.
16:38 jcamins reva: you need to run the scripts from the command line.
16:39 And why don't you just delete all the records, if that's what you want to do?
16:39 reva ok, I am game. But are you answering the question running the perl scripts?
16:40 jcamins I have never used bulkauthorityimport, but I do know that you can't run the scripts by double-clicking.
16:40 They won't work without the appropriate arguments.
16:41 reva I suppose I can delete the records, but deleting does not get rid of the log entries for them. So looking at the log is messy.
16:43 jcamins Hm.
16:43 I would suggest that is probably a better option than trying to reinstall Koha.
16:44 Wait, why can't you just reinstall the entire system?
16:44 It's a LiveCD, so it's preconfigured.
16:44 reva jcamins, this is in regards to running perl scripts: when I right clicked on one of them, it gave me two options: one to "Open" and another to "Open with other application"; when I clicked to "Open" it came up with further option to "display", "run" or "run in terminal". That was why I asked as to what exactly "run" does as opposed to "run in termina".
16:45 jcamins reva: you shouldn't be right-clicking them at all. You need to open up a terminal and run them from the terminal.
16:45 So you open the terminal, change to the directory they are in, and run them from there.
16:45 reva: http://www.freesoftwaremagazin[…]ommand_line_intro
16:46 reva jcamins, I can; but I did not have to go through running all those commands for clipboard/desktop integration. (Braedon walked me through that; I have the instructions saved; but it is a pain.)
16:47 jcamins, I will look at the link you have given here.
16:48 jcamins I would suggest just deleting the records and dealing with the data in the log.
16:48 Just always make sure you look at the log starting September 29.
16:50 reva jcamins, Yeah, I suppose I can mark the cut off date and the bib and item record numbers where we start "serious" input.:)

16:53 reva Anyway, we will be installing the 3.2 directly on the hard drive with Debian. I am leaving the Live CD in the VirtualBox (just in case situation to serve as a template and for future training in case of staff change).
16:54 jcamins reva: in that case why does it matter at all?
16:54 nengard http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ith_Holds_Waiting
16:54 reva I know; it should not jcamins; but I am a tidiness freak.
16:57 jcamins My rule of thumb is that anything that doesn't significantly impact my patrons or my productivity doesn't matter. It means I'm only surprisingly gray and not entirely gray. ;)
16:57 reva what do you mean? as in mature?
16:58 I meant about the word "grey" in your comment. But I saw your avatar picture in one of the FAQ comments. You do not have grey hair:)
16:59 I will try to be mature too about being obsessive with behind the scenes things, jcamins:0
16:59 jcamins reva: no, everyone in my family goes gray young, and I blame it on dealing with MARC. ;)
17:00 That's a very old picture.
17:00 hdl1 joined #koha
17:01 reva So vain to put in a very old picture:). And I can very well see a direct cause and effect association with MARC tags and going grey early.
17:04 jcamins Actually, I just didn't have any other good pictures of myself in digital format. ;)
17:07 reva ok, ok, take that comment back about vanity. I am reading the contents on the page you just pointed me to; it starts me off at an elementary level: I have to say, my minor was Computer Science and that was when there were only Unix terminals:P and gnu debuggers, emacs and vi editor>
17:08 jcamins Oh, then just pull up a terminal, and go to. :)
17:12 reva Ok, I will get back with more questions, I am sure. Thanks jcamins.

18:03 owen nengard I don't understand Bug 5267
18:03 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5267 minor, P5, ---, oleonard, NEW, koha logo shouldn't be on authorities page
18:03 owen The koha logo is on almost every staff client page
18:03 Any page which has a search box at the top has the Koha logo
18:04 nengard you know what - my brain is so wiped out - it's that the search box is below the logo instead of to the right of it that made it look funny
18:04 and that might be that i was zoomed in
18:04 hang on
18:04 owen I see, the layout does break if your browser window is too small
18:05 The authorities search form is wider than most
18:08 nengard closed as invalid - i have been going nonstop since last sunday so my brain has no more power in it and i'm doing silly/stupid things
18:09 owen Thanks for clarifying nengard
18:10 nengard no prob - thanks for pointing it out to me
18:11 owen Bug 5265 is a good one though :)

19:10 briceSanc hello
19:11 chris back
19:14 briceSanc We have to change the default Koha template for our client's needs. With your experience, what is the best approach to not be too upset when Koha be updated ?
19:14 owen briceSanc: Are you *sure* you need to change the template?
19:15 briceSanc I'm sure
19:15 chris what do you need it to do?
19:15 briceSanc not the template engine but the design
19:16 am�liorations ergonomiques, nouvelles couleurs, ...
19:16 oops
19:16 ebegin hehe :)
19:16 briceSanc ergonomic improvements, new colors ...
19:17 owen briceSanc: I'd be happy to advise you on changes which can be made via CSS if you can share specifics
19:17 briceSanc ctrl+c,v problem :)
19:17 owen Colors are an obvious thing which don't require a new template
19:17 ebegin There is no really easy way other than limiting your modification of the .tmpl file.  When a new verison is release, compare the previous community-release to the new one and adapt your template accordingly
19:17 chris yeah you can probably do a lot of that with jquery and css
19:18 so yeah do as much as you possibly can that way, otherwise you just make upgrading harder and harder
19:18 wizzyrea_ < was in the template updating trap
19:18 I escaped with jquery
19:18 chris ohh way cool
19:18 check out the latest message to the list

19:18 wizzyrea_ OOOOO
19:19 oooOOOooo
19:19 that's a good one
19:19 chris with a patch to test out
19:19 i need 6 more hands
19:19 sekjal chris: I hear you on that; want to test, don't have so much the time right now
19:19 wizzyrea_ I might get to it in a couple of days
19:19 ebegin when you mean with jquery, you mean that you are updating the site DOM with JQuery function?
19:19 wizzyrea_ I have a couple of libraries who migt want that
19:20 owen ebegin: You can use system prefs to embed jQuery which changes HTML on the page

19:21 chris ebegin: firefox and chromium are fast, ie 7 .... not so much
19:21 ebegin briceSanc, there is another option...

19:30 chris :)
19:30 jcamins Oh, well, I'm converted.
19:31 owen Or at the very least to be able to say "Yeah, you need a new template for that, sucks to be you" ;)
19:31 jcamins Of course, I mostly want to add new pages, not modify existing ones.

19:49 jcamins Lucky us.
19:52 owen: I won't be doing it tonight, but would you like me to sign-off on your patch for the 006 builder?
19:53 cait jcamins++
19:53 owen Sure jcamins, if it looks good to you. Thanks
19:53 cait thx for signing-off my patch!
19:53 jcamins cait: you're welcome.
19:54 cait: oh, that reminds me. Is there any chance you could send your patch for the ohloh links directly to me? Apparently you can't download just one message from the archives, and our mail server ran out of room so I had to delete my local archives.
19:54 I'll sign off on it.
19:55 I'm feeling sign-off-y, probably because this allows me to avoid my own development for a while.
19:55 cait jcamins: no problem
19:56 will try to do it tomorrow
19:56 jcamins Thanks.
19:56 ebegin Am i correct when I state that we cannot delete a vendor?
19:57 (other than removing it from the db)
19:57 owen ebegin: Yes
19:57 But you can make it inactive
19:57 ebegin Is there a reason?
19:58 owen Because you might have past orders in the system from that vendor
19:59 chris yeah if you ahve ever ordered anything from that vendor, the item will be linked to it
19:59 but we should allow ppl to delete ones that have never been used
19:59 ebegin that what I was about to suggest.
19:59 chris interviewee is late ... not a good start
20:00 slef chris: depends on the explanation.
20:00 chris true
20:00 owen "Found bones on the beach on way to interview"
20:00 slef "my bus got stuck under a whale" might pass, for example
20:00 cait ebegin: i wrote a bug report for " can not delete vendor "
20:00 slef but they should have emailed
20:00 cait it's somewhere in bugzilla
20:00 slef assuming the whale had wifi
20:01 ebegin ok, thanks cait!
