00:25 ebegin in a item record, what  the Shelving control number is used for?
00:49 brendan joined #koha
00:58 yhager_ joined #koha
01:18 wasabi ebegin: pass, google has some OK answers....
01:19 its the item-level  equiv. of a bib's 852$j ?
01:20 http://www.loc.gov/marc/biblio[…]c/nlr/nlr8xx.html
01:21 ebegin Oh!  Thanks wasabi.  I'll check that.  I never noted that there was that field for a bib,.
01:23 Hmmm... Funny! my MARC reference (in french) doesn't give any description of that field... the first time I see this in this reference...
01:24 wasabi remember that url is the MARC21/US-MARC flavour...
01:24 slef @marc 852 j
01:24 munin slef: Shelving control number
01:24 slef hah!
01:25 ebegin Hey, I like that plugin!!!  first time I see that
01:25 wasabi too clever slef++
01:25 ebegin wasabi, I'm using MARC21 too.
01:25 slef Who controls hudson and when will they be here?
01:25 robin slef: I think it's chris, and he's not at his desk at the moment
01:26 slef robin: if I get eaten by a grue before he returns, can you ask him to switch option git.authorOrCommitter over, please?
01:26 wasabi heya robin, thanks again for all your deb-packaging work!
01:27 robin slef: OK
01:27 wasabi: you're welcome :) I'm hoping to get time soon to work on language support for the packages.
01:28 slef I'm trying to set up some more reliable feedback about patch acceptance than me remembering to compare the git log against my submissions.
01:28 wasabi its something  i want to work-on/learn too...
01:28 robin slef: ah yes, I'd like something like that too. Doing it manually is a bit error-prone.
01:29 wasabi: yeah, hopefully I'll be setting up a Koha instance in Spanish soon, and I'll probably be using the packages to do this, so want to be abke to make 'apt-get install koha-language-es' work.
01:29 wasabi something = deb-packaging
01:30 robin wasabi: ah right :)
01:30 wasabi gotcha
01:30 robin I had it easier, larsw set them up in the first place, now I'm just maintaining them.
01:30 Although, that's getting more complex as we're approaching release.
01:31 Need to do some prep for that, too.
01:32 slef robin: my idea is if hudsonbot mentions commit authors as the patches hit it, then my IRC monitoring will let me know.
01:32 robin ah yes, that's pretty simple and useful
01:34 chris: look up :)
01:35 chris ill give it a crack
01:35 slef ta
01:36 is the state of the art of patch tracking on the wiki?
01:36 chris dont think so
01:37 slef someone was telling me about a new git tracking package... forgot its name already though :-/
01:39 chris right should be done  now
01:39 slef: this was my idea
01:39 http://patches.workbuffer.org/
01:40 but i dunno if i like it
01:40 slef hrm, I don't see an obvious change in Hudson yet... maybe it'll be after next patch hits
01:40 chris yeah it builds the changeset only after changes
01:40 so next commit should kick it off
01:41 slef chris: patches... is one way to do it
01:41 does the status monitoring bit of it
01:41 I think the other part of the puzzle is giving feedback to authors and reviewers
01:41 chris yup
01:42 slef For status, there's topgit and stgit and whatever that other one was called. Not sure if any of those help to send feedback.
01:43 chris yeah, i looked at those, they look pretty heavy to set up
01:44 3 more conference registrations today
01:44 slef I guess one obvious simple option is something in the RM's or main repo's hooks to send email. Another is anyone who care's subscribes to gitweb's RSS feeds.
01:44 lose an '
01:45 chris yup
01:45 slef anyway, something like http://patches.workbuffer.org/ is a big help in checking status
01:45 why don't you like it?
01:46 chris cos im not sure ill have the time to keep it all up to date
01:46 something more automagic might win
01:47 slef an incoming branch on a repo, perhaps?
01:47 chris yeah that might work
01:48 slef if you cherry-pick from incoming into HEAD, git does the right thing, doesn't it?
01:48 chris yup
01:48 problem is, you really need lots of incoming branches, because patches conflict sometimes
01:49 slef I thought it did, but I mess up often, as yesterday demonstrated.
01:50 Why's that a problem?
01:50 Probably possible to semi-automate the simple cases of creation and deletion.
01:52 I think what's missing is being able to confirm that the RM knows about a patch and has it on the todo.  Any way to do that is fine.
01:53 chris yeah
01:55 slef wiki, text file, ...
01:56 just stop us bugging people about patches we submitted :)
01:56 chris i think wiki will do
01:56 slef or getting depressed when they appear ignored (as happened to me with a certain past RM)
01:57 chris once this conference is out of my hair ill start doing that
01:57 slef I think danger with using the main wiki is others messing with your status.
01:57 chris true, but i watch the rss feed of changes, ill see it happening :)
01:57 maybe ill use lars ikiwiki branchable thing
01:58 http://www.branchable.com/
01:58 slef might be worth you using that tiny in-browser wiki (I'll get the name in a mo) so only you can edit it
01:58 robin tikiwiki
01:58 slef I thought that was it.
01:58 So what's the perl CGI one with a similar name?
01:59 robin hmm. Not sure
02:01 slef TWiki
02:01 found it after a while
02:07 I know. Let's rewrite koha in the rc shell. http://werc.cat-v.org/
02:08 I like (and use) rc, but that's scary.
02:11 chris you pretty much are on nz time now eh slef
02:11 its what 3.21am?
02:15 slef yeah, I'm about to drop
02:15 the fly in the ointment is I have a meeting on Monday :)

03:55 darling left #koha
04:03 ebegin Would it be a good idea for a library to keep only MARC field that are copied from an authority?
04:03 Oak joined #koha
04:04 ebegin I means, if only subfield from 100 are copied from a PERSONAL NAME authority type, why should we have all other fields in the auth record?
04:06 wasabi better to have the full auth-record, than a lossy version, i think
04:07 ebegin Hmmm... good point.  I was just thinking of the part that was copied in the bib.  But the autority information still usefull...
04:08 wasabi++
04:24 A quick question.. Are there some Z39.50 servers from which we could pull Authority records? I know that Koha doesn't allow that, but would that be technically possible?
04:26 bigbrovar left #koha
04:27 kmkale left #koha
04:52 Braedon ebegin: as far as i am aware, yes
04:52 ebegin I think that would be cool...
04:53 Braedon there are a huge number of opern Z39.50 servers. I doubt all don't allow authority records, but i have not checked
04:55 brendan_l joined #koha
04:55 brendan_l left #koha
04:56 Braedon that said, i am not entirely certain that Z39.50 supports authorities... I thought i remember reading it does, but a quick Google search has shaken that a bit...

05:47 can any one help me

05:48 robin You'll have to ask your question first, otherwise how could we know? :)
05:49 saqi Use of uninitialized value $lang in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Output.pm line 86.
05:49 i am getting the errors
05:50 while running koha on Debian
05:50 robin That doesn't look familiar to me. Which version of Koha?
05:52 saqi LibLime's Harley realese
05:53 3.01.00.061
05:53 robin ah. Not many people have experience with that, as it's quite different to normal Koha.
05:53 My suggestion would be to try with the official version from here: http://koha-community.org/
05:54 either 3.06 (stable version), or if you're keen 3.2 (which will be stable soon)
05:54 saqi what do you suggest
05:54 ok sir
05:54 robin It's also more likely that someone will know how to help you if you're using one of those.
05:56 saqi right
05:56 robin Hope it works better for you :)
06:05 saqi Thank you so much
06:06 can you giv me your msn id pls ??
06:07 robin I don't use MSN. The best place to ask for help is this channel.

06:39 magnus g'day Ropuch, bigbrovar & #koha!
06:40 Ropuch Hello [;
06:40 bigbrovar Its 7am here, hope its safe to say good morning
06:45 saqi left #koha
06:46 bigbrovar Hi guys am trying to migrate my library from a shreadsheet based catalog to marc21 and koha.  I am currently mapping their  catalogs to marc21 (which am still learning cus am just a sysadmin not a librarian) which koha holding tags can I use for number of copies for an item.   is that what 952$9 (Koha Itemnumber) is for? (sorry if my question sound very noobish )
06:47 robin bigbrovar: I've done that before. You want to replicate 952 according the the number of items you have.
06:47 so, one 952 tag per item
06:49 magnus see also http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]_fields_%289xx%29
06:50 bigbrovar robin: thanks but which subfield do I use with 952? I am using marcedit for mapping.. and I am trying to map the excell category "number of copies"
06:51 robin You don't just put the value somewhere, it has to be a new 952 with its subfields for every item
06:54 hdl joined #koha
06:55 bigbrovar robin: yeah that is what marcedit does, it adds the 952 to every item on the spreadsheet.  I am just trying to guess which subfield to use with 952 something which concerns the number of copies available for a particular item (maybe am looking at it the wrong way)
06:58 magnus bigbrovar: say you have ten copies of the same edition of "Lord of the Rings". You should then have one record, with 952 and it's subfields repeated 10 times. You don't store the number 10 anywhere.
06:58 robin bigbrovar: exactly what magnus just said :)
07:03 stephane_ joined #koha
07:11 bigbrovar robin: magnus: hmm trying to figure out how to achieve that while maping from excel to marc21 using marcedit (has anyone of you used marcedit before?) This is the spreedsheet column for number of item copies http://www.flickr.com/photos/b[…]ovar2/5080681272/ and this is the marcedit tool which I want to use in mapping that column to marc21 http://www.flickr.com/photos/b[…]ovar2/5080681458/
07:11 chris well thats a fairly random email
07:12 francharb joined #koha
07:12 magnus chris: Strong Perl Developer?
07:13 chris yeah and Koha spelt wrong :)
07:14 magnus chris: yeah, knew you would like that... ;-)
07:16 bigbrovar: i have no experience with marcedit, sadly, but you just add the number of copies (952s) that correspond to that number. how you add the copies, i don't know... :-(

09:16 David Hello all!
09:16 braedon|h Hello David!
09:17 David I'm very new to Koha, but am excited and trying to get it installed.  I've run into a few problems though.  I'm on Debian Lenny and following the Intall.DebianLenny included with the newest version from the website (not git).
09:18 braedon|h which website?
09:18 David Is it possible to install without sendmail?
09:18 braedon|h koha.org or koha-community.org?
09:18 David http://koha.org/ (http://downloads.ptfsinc.com/h[…]nslations.tar.gz)
09:18 Which should I have done?
09:18 braedon|h ahh
09:18 harley is not an official Koha release
09:19 it is a fork from ptfs
09:19 you are more likely to be able to get help from the general community if you use an official community release, from koha-community.org
09:20 David ah.  is Harley not an open source version?
09:20 braedon|h i'm not sure of its exact licence araingment, but it is not provided by the Koha open source community at least
09:20 it is provided by the company PTFS/LibLime
09:21 David ah, thank you for clarifying the situation!  Is the rc pretty stable or should I be lookign for the last stable version?
09:22 braedon|h i believe a number of deployments of it are being used, but obviously until it is officially released...
09:23 probably depends if/when you are going to putting a deployment into production
09:24 3.0.x is theoretically more stable, but 3.2.0 has desirable features. If you need to put something stable into production very soon, perhaps stick with 3.0.x
09:24 if you have a bit of leeway in time or stability, 3.2.0 probably better
09:25 as for your specific query on sendmail, alas i am not sure. Hopefully someone else can clarify that
09:26 i remember seeing something on the mailing list recently about sendmail - perhaps that could be useful?
09:29 David Thank you so much!
09:29 zebra is not required strictly right
09:31 ps -aux
09:31 woops, lol
09:31 braedon|h technically, but highly recomended
09:31 i have had nothing but issues with no zebra
09:32 David This is just for a "testing' enviroment to make certain that I have the technically ability to install it
09:33 magnus David: then i would go for the 3.2RC1- it's the future! And install Zebra, it's not that hard... ;-)

10:15 Barc joined #koha
10:15 Barc is now known as Barrc
10:24 Barrc Anyone around? Just starting to look at 3.2RC and wondering if Debian Squeeze is needed? Conflicting install notes regarding this
10:25 cait Barrc: you can install koha on different os - we use ubuntu for example
10:25 but debian is perhaps easiest
10:26 Barrc Sorry, I should have asked the question better! I only use Debian and up until now, 3.x has been fine with Lenny, however the new installDebian notes suggest Lenny isn't supported?
10:26 only Squeeze
10:26 cait the packages are in sqeeze
10:26 so you can install koha a lot easier using apt get (I have not tried it yet)
10:26 magnus Barrc: if you want to do "sudo apt-get install koha" you need squeeze
10:26 Barrc Ah.....that makes sense......so no support for Apt on Lenny.....got it now......thanks
10:26 cait but if you have already installed 3.x you can update
10:27 easily too
10:27 Barrc Yeah, I am going to test an upgrade as well but might aswell start off a fresh install first. I will have to try everything eventually!
10:51 Oak still getting Forbidden on web server. koha_error_log says: [error] [client 127.0.0.1] client denied by server configuration: /var/www/htdocs/arslan/koha/intranet/htdocs/
10:52 Last night I installed Koha and selected 'standard' (the first question when you run perl Makefile.PL)... where I should have selected 'sing;e'
10:52 * 'single'
10:53 nengard joined #koha
10:54 cait Oak: standard is normally ok, a lot of people use dev
10:54 I have never used single, not sure about the difference
10:54 Oak now I have selected 'single' and installed...
10:54 can I pastebin my koha-httpd.conf file and you can have a look?
10:54 and httpd.conf also
10:56 even normal web server gives forbidden now, I mean http://localhost says Forbidden, if I un-comment the Include /...../koha-httpd.conf file then my Web server starts working...
10:57 ... if I un-comment the Include /...../koha-httpd.conf file from /etc/httpd.conf I meant
11:02 could it be caused by my firewall settings>
11:03 David Oak: what system are you running on?  if Apache2, I think you should be using a2ensite
11:03 So... sendmail required?

12:03 slef Oak: about search.pl
12:04 Oak: I think there's some disagreement between your <Directory ...> sections in your apache setup and your koha-httpd.conf - that would be an apache problem not a Koha problem so you might be better off asking in other forums or reading http://httpd.apache.org/
12:04 Oak: but basically
12:05 cait slef: there was some discussion on the koha-patches malinglist about bug 5218
12:05 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5218 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, cnighswonger, ASSIGNED, Add RFC822 Date Formatting to C4::Dates
12:05 cait see here: http://lists.koha-community.or[…]October/date.html
12:05 slef Oak: if you have some <Directory />(things being deny-ed or Options -ExecCGI)</Directory> then you need <Directory /path/to/koha> section to switch it back on - but koha-httpd.conf should contain that, so I'm confused.
12:06 cait: bug 5128 not 5218

12:07 hdl: how can we view the patches you intend to apply?
12:07 gmcharlt slef: umm, ok - which one are you asking about
12:07 * gmcharlt confused
12:07 cait slef: no problem. afaik the problem is that it will break things for people already using unimarc and koha
12:07 * slef links that thread from the bug
12:07 hdl where ?
12:08 * cait sets a big box of chocolate in the middle of #koha
12:09 slef hdl: how can we view the patches you intend to apply to 3.0.x?

12:11 hdl slef there was no real patch list or queue defined the time we started.
12:12 slef Oak: line 33 of Intranet mentions /usr/share/koha but you seem to be installed in /home/silas/koha - that disagreement needs resolving.
12:12 hdl On git.biblibre/".0.x you have all the biblibre patches intended to pass.
12:12 Oak crap
12:12 let me see
12:13 slef hdl: yeah, I'm not ever so fussed about biblibre patches because I assumed you are tracking them. Where are you noting other patches intended to pass?
12:17 Oak ok slef, but why am I getting same 403 Forbidden error on http://localhost/ ? When I un-comment the koha-httpd.conf Include line from httpd.conf, my webserver at least starts working again. So there must something wrong with my koha-httpd.conf file
12:17 sorry, not un-comment
12:17 * comment
12:18 comment out the Include line for koha-httpd.conf
12:20 laurenc1 joined #koha
12:21 Oak one thing, I was unable to install these dependencies: GD, Net::Z3950::ZOOM and PDF::Reuse::Barcode
12:21 laurence left #koha
12:21 Oak gives some error saying I'll have to 'force' installation
12:23 slef Oak: ok, looking again.
12:24 Oak: those install failures seem unrelated. You're not even getting that far.
12:24 Oak ok
12:26 slef Oak: at a glance, I think the reason why it works without koha-httpd.conf is that you have no other VirtualHosts, so if they are not defined then you get default behaviour, but if they are defined, then koha's opac VirtualHost becomes http://localhost/ as well as http://bluestar/
12:26 Oak i see
12:27 slef Oak: if you ask httpd to DUMP_VHOSTS it should explain that to you (check manual for exact command but I think it's: httpd -S)
12:27 Oak oh yes, I tried that command last night
12:28 slef try it with and without the Include koha-httpd.conf working to see the difference in default behaviour
12:28 Oak http://www.pastie.org/1220628
12:28 ok now I'll try without the koha-http.conf
12:30 without the koha-httpd.conf included, it just says:   VirtualHost configuration:      (then nothing in this line, on next line, says: Syntax OK)
12:30 slef so that's why it changes - your default settings used without the koha-http.conf are no longer accessible with it.  Have you sorted out the /usr/share v /home/silas thing?
12:30 bbl
12:31 Oak yes
12:31 I sorted that one
12:47 hdl slef: 3.2 codebase and 3.0 is really different.
12:48 So that atm, I apply only 3.0 specific patches.

13:35 slef hdl: but where can we see which non-biblibre patches you are considering?
13:37 Oak slef !!!!!!!
13:37 slef hi yeah I'm back
13:37 jcamins: I mailed them off-list and suggested it's Koha FWIW
13:38 Oak in httpd.conf under <Directory />   </Directory>  I commented out  ' Deny from all ' and it fixed the Forbidden 403 error
13:38 now I am getting this: http://www.pastie.org/1220749
13:39 slef Oak: ok, now you need to install those missing modules.
13:39 Oak but they give error
13:39 should I force them?
13:39 slef no, you should fix the error
13:40 Oak or pastebin you what they say
13:40 ok
13:40 slef Oak: long-term, you probably want deny from all in a <Directory /> section but to override it for /home/salis/koha
13:40 Oak aah
13:40 slef but that's a priorities and configuration order and so on... puzzle... apache not koha
13:41 Oak ok
13:41 slef Oak: I suspect the problem for ZOOM is that you need to install libyaz-dev or whatever slackware calls it
13:41 Oak I did install yaq

13:41 slef Oh. What's the installation error message?
13:41 Oak I installed that one
13:42 ok wait
13:42 slef wait a mo... that's yaz 4... I thought I read something about that not working with ZOOM yet
13:42 but I might be wrong or out-of-date
13:43 Oak oh
13:45 Barrc Can anyone think why the Location would be blank in the Details page in OPAC and Staff but not when I edit the item information screen? It's 3.06 and I'm just preparing to upgrade to 3.2
13:45 slef You can probably make progress by searching the web (or maybe just the koha mailing lists) for any installation error you're getting, but problems installing Koha's prerequisites aren't Koha problems either, so help here might be limited.
13:45 Barrc: missing Koha-MARC mapping links maybe? Have you run the test?
13:45 Oak ok thank you
13:47 Barrc slef: Which test?
13:49 Oak slef, if you get bored, you can look at the error I ma getting for ZOOM... http://www.pastie.org/1220774
13:52 Barrc Koha-Marc mappings seem fine......strange looking item info though
13:54 slef Barrc: the one in System Preferences IIRC
13:55 Barrc Thanks, I will take a look......there also seems to be some null location entries in my items tables, which isn't good!
13:56 yhager_ joined #koha
13:57 slef Oak: curious. Nothing obvious to me. I think you get to report a new bug at https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dis[…]me=Net-Z3950-ZOOM
13:58 congratulations!
13:58 Oak :)
13:59 how about I install this: http://www.indexdata.com/yazpp
13:59 slef no, you need ZOOM-Perl, and it's indexdata who releases it on CPAN
14:00 http://www.indexdata.com/zoom-perl
14:01 Oak ok I should try that then
14:04 oh right, that's the one I am getting error with (Net-Z3950-ZOOM-1.26)
14:06 jcamins Hm.
14:06 Anyone running 3.2-RC?
14:06 Can you confirm a bug with the Sort By dropdown in the staff client?
14:07 sekjal jcamins: I can
14:08 jcamins I guess that needs to be fixed for the final version.
14:08 slef jcamins: which bug?
14:08 jcamins It doesn't work at all.
14:09 If you use the dropdown, it generates a malformed search link that redirects you to the Advanced Search page.
14:09 The problem is that the q= is getting escaped.
14:10 sekjal jcamins: from search results in the staff client, I'm able to sort and resort without issue
14:11 jcamins Hm.
14:11 What about while using a ccl query?
14:11 sekjal also, if I specify an alternate sort from Advanced Search, it still works
14:12 jcamins Ah, I think it's CCL.
14:13 sekjal what are your Searching system preferences?
14:14 jcamins I think everything's still at the default in the Searching tab. However, I have "SearchMyLibraryFirst" set to "Limit" and "singleBranchMode" set to "Don't allow."
14:19 And you don't have the problem even with CCL?
14:20 magnus left #koha
14:21 jcamins I can replicate it on 3.1.0.135.
14:21 slef jcamins: no, sorry, I mean which bug number is this?
14:21 jcamins I haven't reported one yet because I hate reporting bugs that turn out to be PEBKAC. ;)
14:21 Barrc Turns out I didn't have the LOC authorized value setup correctly......Location now showing on Details page!
14:22 jwagner jcamins, I can confirm -- in staff mode, either masthead search or advanced search, a mc-loc:GEN search produces results but trying to change the sort flips it to the advanced search page.
14:23 Doing a regular search (without the ccl), sorting works fine.
14:23 sekjal adding a branch limit...
14:23 jwagner ccl search sorting works OK in OPAC
14:27 jcamins slef: bug 5305
14:27 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5305 normal, P5, ---, paul.poulain, NEW, Resorting results of CCL queries fails in Staff Client
14:28 jcamins I can't figure out where that's coming from, either.
14:29 slef jcamins: there are no stupid questions.
14:30 jcamins No, but there *are* stupid bug reports.
14:30 As someone who has filed my share of those, I can definitely attest to that. ;)
14:31 It must be somewhere in the Perl, because there's a submit button, which means it's not javascript.
14:31 Wait, no.
14:31 That's not necessarily true.
14:32 Because it's the URL creation that's breaking.
14:34 Well, I will try and figure out what the culprit is later.

14:57 Barrc While installing 3.2RC while running Makefile it stops with failed prereq of Graphics::Magick. Cpan has no idea what this is and when I search, manually, the Cpan site there is not such module??
14:58 SJeffery Has anyone ever heard of someone who added a secondary search engine to index Koha content (Sharepoint, Google Search Appliance, etc)?
15:00 jcamins You can use SRU to index Koha.
15:00 I'm not sure if that's what you're asking.
15:01 slef Barrc: there was mention of that on lists recently. I don't rememember exactly where because I've processed about 2000 emails today :-/
15:02 Barrc self: Thanks, I will have a look back over the list to see what I can come up.......'tis a strange one!
15:02 SJeffery jcamins: Thinking of putting in a second search function to index Koha (along with all other enterprise content such as scanned documents)
15:09 jcamins That sounds kind of scary. Perfectly logical, but scary.
15:12 SJeffery You know me, always doing things the hard way
15:13 tcohen hi, 1 question: NULL itemnumber or borrowernumber in (old_)issues means item or borrower deleted?

15:35 gmcharlt but the OAI-PMH services makes it a bit easier to identify the new or updated records to index

18:15 I noticedour other instance of Koha was already configured with Dom for authority indexes, but link_bibs_to authorities.pl still doesn't link any biblio to my authorities
18:16 The only difference I could see between the two instance is the version. One is 3.01.00.999 and the other is 3.01.00.145
18:19 jcamins fcapo: which one works?
18:20 fcapo The 3.01.00.999 one
18:20 jcamins Well that's good, at least.
18:20 (the newer version is working better)
18:25 chris Heh what a troll
18:25 fcapo duh, I'll try to update the other one

18:40 jcamins Maybe if you try a mysqldump of the table that stores sysprefs and then diff those?
18:40 mib_6nadr guys i followed the instructions on the faq for placing holds but i still cannot place them, i've got the preferences correct and i've added default rules, is there anything else i need to do?
18:41 jcamins fcapo: the table is systempreferences
18:41 fcapo jcamins: good idea, I'll try that
18:42 mib_6nadr: If you're trying to place a hold on an item that isn't check out, try allowing AllowOnShelfHolds ?
18:42 jcamins fcapo: I'm grasping at straws, but I'd really like to know how to make link_bibs_to_authorities work.
18:44 mib_6nadr fcapo: my mistake, if you leave the "maximum holds" field blank, it defaults to 0..  :/

19:11 fcapo almost, the paths are different
19:11 but generally, yes, they are the same
19:13 jcamins I don't suppose one of them is running on a virtual machine so you could clone it and import the data from the other instance into it and see what happens?

19:26 chris_n at least one of them knew how to deal with trolls
19:27 chris mib_6nadr: does it work with different browser?
19:29 richard joined #koha
19:29 richard hi
19:29 darling chris, please stop me from adding to that liblime thread
19:29 chris yeah dont do it
19:29 darling ok
19:29 thanks
19:29 chris i wanted to point out mysql is about the worst example
19:29 but refrained
19:29 darling hah -- I was going to use it as the example for why it's not cool
19:30 chris yeah
19:30 mib_6nadr chris: same problem in chrome and safari
19:30 chris you can see exactly what can happen with a vendor dominated project when the vendor is bought
19:30 openoffice, opensolaris, mysql .. :)
19:30 Sharon rise above the fray, as they say
19:30 darling and ref that podcast where ptfs dude thinks redhat == linux and so a cpy should take over koha
19:31 chris mib_6nadr: weird can yuo do a screenshot?
19:31 darling anyway, yeah, thanks
19:31 * darling does some useful work instead
19:31 mib_6nadr chris: absolutely, give me a sec
19:32 nengard oh i've heard that one before - the redhat example - seems to be the only product he knows about

19:37 chris looking now
19:37 hmm, a branch is selected too eh?
19:38 mib_6nadr yep :/
19:40 jwag_mtg is now known as jwagner
19:40 * chris goes to test on a couple of koha
19:40 jwagner left #koha
19:42 darling nengard, that's the podcast I was thinking of with you and he together
19:42 chris mib_6nadr: i have 2 extra fields
19:42 after hold not needed after
19:42 Place on
19:42 and Pickup Location
19:43 mib_6nadr hmm
19:43 chris i suspect that not having those is what is causing the problem
19:43 lemme check another one
19:44 yeah
19:44 that has them too

19:45 chris (i checked opac.library.org.nz and http://library.hauraki-dc.govt.nz/ too)
19:45 so the question is .. why is it different
19:49 mib_6nadr well i do know that my bulk import only filled in what pre-existing information we had, author (some), title, barcode, language and format
19:49 we have no call numbers as of now
19:49 chris right shouldnt be that
19:50 but you should have a drop to pick up the branch to get it frmo, and a place on box
19:50 like that demo site ... are the items assigned to a branch?
19:51 mib_6nadr i don't have independent branches enabled , so i don't think so
19:51 well ive got the place on box showing up , i had specific holds disabled for some reason in preferences
19:52 chris but still no drop down for the branch to pick the item up from?
19:52 do you only have one branch maybe?
19:52 mib_6nadr yeah
19:52 yes
19:52 chris i wonder if thats it
19:52 the holds arent suddenly working now that you have the place box eh?
19:53 mib_6nadr no but my eyes got a little wide for a second there
19:53 chris heres an idea, try make a branch, called fake branch for testing
19:53 or something
19:53 and then see if that makes the drop down appear and fix holds, if so, we know what the bug is
19:59 mib_6nadr well, i added the new library but i can't set it because i have single branch mode enabled, i looked for that in the preferences menu under admin and such but couldn't find it
19:59 oh gosh nvm
20:00 okay , grat
20:00 great*
20:00 now it's working
20:01 chris right so the bug is singlebranchmode i bet
20:01 mib_6nadr so i guess if single branch mode is enabled, you won't get that field and the form won't validate
20:01 chris yeah
20:01 it should just set a hidden input
20:01 but looks like it isnt
20:01 could you go to bugs.koha-community.org
20:02 and see if there is a bug for this already, and if not make one? :)
20:02 mib_6nadr sure
20:02 chris thanks very much
20:02 mib_6nadr also
20:02 chris i think you can delete that branch, and as long as you leave singlebranchmode off
20:02 mib_6nadr while we're on the subject
20:02 chris it probably still works
20:02 mib_6nadr can you guys check out bug 5094?
20:02 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5094 minor, P5, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, auth_by_bind authentication can fail even if given a correct password and userid
20:03 chris ahh thats LDAP stuff eh? ill leave that to someone who understands ;)
20:03 mib_6nadr ok no problem
20:07 okay , the bug exists (3164) and looks like the latest comment was on 2010-07-05 so we're all good :)
20:07 chris cool
