| 00:00 | jcamins | Missing mappings in the language_rfc4646_to_iso639 table. |
| 00:01 | * jcamins | goes to update his bug |
| 00:14 | jcamins | Will we still be using CGI when we switch to Template::Toolkit? |
| 00:14 | (CGI.pm) | |
| 00:15 | Or is there a different web server interface thing we'll be using? | |
| 00:15 | chris | nope still using that |
| 00:15 | jcamins | Okay. |
| 00:15 | How was lunch? | |
| 00:15 | * chris | gets back from lunch and ice cream with the rea's |
| 00:15 | chris | very fun |
| 00:18 | jcamins | Hm. |
| 00:19 | * jcamins | thinks he needs a tutorial on using CGI with Template::Toolkit. |
| 00:20 | chris | well, the plan is replace C4::Output |
| 00:20 | so it does the headers etc for you | |
| 00:20 | for now | |
| 00:20 | my $cgi = new CGI; or CGI->new(); | |
| 00:20 | whatever you like | |
| 00:21 | print $cgi->header(); | |
| 00:21 | then output the template | |
| 00:21 | cait | hm ice cream |
| 00:22 | jcamins | Okay, this is progress. |
| 00:22 | :) | |
| 00:24 | robin | ice cream is always progress |
| 00:25 | jcamins | How do you read from a POST? |
| 00:25 | chris | same was as a get |
| 00:26 | my $input = $cgi->param('some_variable'); | |
| 00:26 | jcamins | Oh. |
| 00:26 | chris | unless you are talking about a file upload? |
| 00:26 | * cait | peeks at jcamins's screen cuiously |
| 00:26 | jcamins | Nope, that's what I meant. |
| 00:26 | chris | cool, yeah just like a get |
| 00:27 | darling | photo 1 of pre-con festivities -- http://www.flickr.com/photos/reedwade/5091736300/ |
| 00:27 | jcamins | Mmm. Ice cream. |
| 00:28 | cait | yeah |
| 00:28 | chris | if you tag that kohacon10 the website will pick it up :) |
| 00:28 | http://www.kohacon10.org.nz/ in the photos there | |
| 00:28 | cait | chris: how many people registered for the conference? |
| 00:29 | chris | 107 |
| 00:29 | cait | ah |
| 00:29 | is registration still open? | |
| 00:29 | ah, no | |
| 00:29 | chris | just closed it |
| 00:29 | cait | reading the page right now :) |
| 00:30 | chris | if someone emails .. we can let them in tho ;) |
| 00:30 | http://www.kohacon10.org.nz/live/ | |
| 00:30 | bit of activity today | |
| 00:30 | brendan_l left #koha | |
| 00:31 | jcamins | Yay!! I successfully inserted the title into the page! |
| 00:32 | chris | yay!! |
| 00:32 | good start :) | |
| 00:32 | cait | :) |
| 00:32 | jcamins | (it's the little things... and this is my first real accomplishment on this project) |
| 00:32 | cait | jcamins: you learn now and can teach me later? :) |
| 00:32 | ;) | |
| 00:33 | * jcamins | thinks it would probably be wrong to have <input value="[% date %]"/>... or is that okay? |
| 00:33 | chris | thats ok |
| 00:33 | jcamins | Cool. |
| 00:33 | * wizzyrea_ | is safe back at the hotel... very fun lunch with chris, robin and reed |
| 00:33 | robin | It's just string subst, like with the other thingamie |
| 00:34 | chris | but you probably want a type and name too :) |
| 00:34 | wizzyrea_ | and killer ice cream |
| 00:34 | chris | wizzyrea_: good to hear you made it back |
| 00:35 | jcamins | The tutorial doesn't mention that there is more than one argument to [% |
| 00:36 | robin | jcamins: there are no arguments to [% per se |
| 00:36 | you just put stuff in there, and it outputs the result, if any | |
| 00:37 | jcamins | So how do I specify a type? |
| 00:37 | Oh, wait, never mind. | |
| 00:37 | I see what chris was saying. | |
| 00:37 | * jcamins | is apparently feeling way too literal today. |
| 00:37 | jcamins | Yes, my input has a type and a name. |
| 00:37 | chris | [% something | filter %] |
| 00:38 | [% variable | html %] | |
| 00:38 | etc, is useful when outputting to a page | |
| 00:38 | then it escapes the html for you (if you want to do that) | |
| 00:38 | jcamins | Ah. I see. |
| 00:39 | chris | http://template-toolkit.org/do[…]nual/Filters.html |
| 00:39 | handy list of hte builtin filters you can use | |
| 00:39 | now, what you can do is make a new filter | |
| 00:39 | marc | |
| 00:40 | [% marc_record | marc %] | |
| 00:40 | that would be pretty sweet :) | |
| 00:40 | jcamins | Wow, that would be cool. |
| 00:41 | chris | it sure would |
| 00:41 | and would be a cpanable module too i imagine | |
| 00:42 | wizzyrea_ | ooOOoo |
| 00:42 | chris | how about [% marc_record | dublin_core %] |
| 00:42 | :) | |
| 00:42 | jcamins | How about jcamins figures out how to make his page do something other than populate the title box? ;) |
| 00:42 | chris | :-) |
| 00:46 | jcamins | Ooh! I made it pass all the parameters back to the template! |
| 00:49 | cait | jcamins: now I want to start to program something too... |
| 00:49 | jcamins | But how do you choose something from a dropdown menu? |
| 00:50 | chris | set the chosen one? |
| 00:51 | jcamins | Yes, but I'm not getting the values from the database yet, so how do I set the default when the page loads based on what was previously selected? |
| 00:51 | cait | selected="selected"? |
| 00:51 | jcamins | cait: you should! But not tonight, isn't it 0100? |
| 00:51 | chris | yup |
| 00:51 | cait | not sure what you want to do |
| 00:52 | 3:02 | |
| 00:52 | :) | |
| 00:52 | I am on vacation, adjusting to nz time ;) | |
| 00:52 | chris | [% FOREACH variable IN array %] |
| 00:53 | [%IF somecondition %] | |
| 00:53 | jcamins | Oh, yeah, that makes sense. |
| 00:53 | chris | selected="selected"> |
| 00:53 | in code that actually works :) | |
| 00:57 | cait left #koha | |
| 00:58 | darling | jcamins, sounds like what you want to do would better be handled at the jquery layer -- unless you're just having a play around |
| 00:59 | jcamins | darling: I'm making a mock-up of my simple catalog interface. |
| 00:59 | However, I think I might use jQuery anyway. | |
| 00:59 | After all, it's not like I actually know how to use jQuery, either... | |
| 00:59 | chris | hehe |
| 00:59 | darling | http://visualjquery.com/ |
| 00:59 | ^ is slightly out of date but helped me a lot | |
| 01:00 | jcamins | Thanks. |
| 01:03 | cait joined #koha | |
| 01:03 | cait | hmpf |
| 01:03 | had to restart access point | |
| 01:05 | chris | i think thats a sign to sleep :-) |
| 01:05 | cait | hm soon |
| 01:06 | jcamins | darling++ # 'cause it only took a few minutes to implement in jQuery |
| 01:07 | chris | :) |
| 01:09 | darling | sweet - it's the ice cream, keeps my brain cool and useful |
| 01:09 | wizzyrea_ | ^.^ |
| 01:11 | cait left #koha | |
| 01:13 | cait joined #koha | |
| 01:13 | cait | chris: perhas you are right |
| 01:14 | chris | :) |
| 01:16 | * cait | is looking at the hotel with street view |
| 01:17 | chris | heh |
| 01:17 | jcamins | Okay, what am I missing here? |
| 01:17 | * robin | probably saw it from the street today :) |
| 01:18 | jcamins | Oh. To set a parameter with cgi you do $cgi->param('language','eng'). |
| 01:18 | cait | robin: hmpf ;) |
| 01:19 | robin | cait: whilst eating ice cream with darling, chris, and wizzyrea_ et al. :) |
| 01:19 | cait | hm, don't think so, my hotel is in auckland ;) |
| 01:19 | wizzyrea_ | cait: I can't wait for you to get here |
| 01:19 | cait | me too :) |
| 01:19 | robin | ah, then not so likely. But, you aren't commuting from there to the conference, I hope :) |
| 01:19 | it's a 12 hour train ride, after all :) | |
| 01:20 | cait | robin: doing the road trip before the conference |
| 01:20 | wizzyrea_ | how did I miss the fact that there was a train from auckland to wellington? |
| 01:20 | cait | so if I don't get lost during that, I will be there |
| 01:21 | darling | wizzyrea_, it's not very direct, but is worth doing |
| 01:21 | robin | wizzyrea_: because the plane takes about 1 hour, the train about 12 :) |
| 01:21 | it's more of a tourist trip than a serious method of travel | |
| 01:21 | still good though. | |
| 01:22 | especially if you're a tourist :) | |
| 01:22 | darling | i plan to be a tourist |
| 01:22 | chris | wizzyrea_: http://bit.ly/dxa7YR if you want to visit cait when she gets to her hotel |
| 01:22 | 4 mins :) | |
| 01:23 | actually 6 cos its uphill, 4 for her to visit you :) | |
| 01:23 | darling | pink and I have decided to visit 10 semi-random cities in NZ in the next year |
| 01:23 | cait | where are you staying liz? |
| 01:24 | robin | darling: I find just getting in a car along with a tent and sleeping bag is quite fun. |
| 01:24 | cait | chris: do you know the bus station I have to get out? the maps are confusing me a bit right now |
| 01:25 | chris | to your hotel? |
| 01:25 | ill find it | |
| 01:25 | whats the name of it again? | |
| 01:25 | cait | best western |
| 01:25 | I thought you perhaps had already looked it up | |
| 01:25 | chris | president eh? |
| 01:25 | wizzyrea_ | cait: right now I"m at the Quest Wellington |
| 01:26 | but will be at the conference hotel next week | |
| 01:26 | darling | robin, jan and I are too fragile for that |
| 01:26 | cait | ah, west plaza? |
| 01:26 | darling | (yeah, I know -- oops, wrong country..) |
| 01:26 | chris | cait: if ( $marcflavour eq "MARC21" ) { |
| 01:26 | lol | |
| 01:26 | cait | ? |
| 01:26 | chris | thats not what i meant to paste |
| 01:27 | wizzyrea_ | yea, westplaza |
| 01:27 | cait | ok, so I am not that tired ;) |
| 01:27 | chris | http://bit.ly/d2AWn1 |
| 01:27 | stop 7053 | |
| 01:27 | gmcharlt | chris: hotel assignment by MARC flavor? that seems a little extreme |
| 01:27 | cait | cool |
| 01:27 | chris | gmcharlt: least it wasnt dewey, id get sued |
| 01:27 | cait | not sure I have seen that option on our maps |
| 01:28 | chris | its pretty cool |
| 01:34 | jcamins | http://demo.cpbibliography.com[…]dbiblio-simple.pl |
| 01:34 | (no login required because it has nothing to do with Koha at the moment) | |
| 01:34 | chris | ill buy that for a dollar |
| 01:35 | (10 points if you know what movie that is from) | |
| 01:38 | braedon | robocop? |
| 01:38 | jcamins | I didn't know before I Googled it. |
| 01:38 | * braedon | cheated too |
| 01:39 | * cait | wonders why her submit button has a german label |
| 01:39 | braedon | is cait german? |
| 01:40 | * braedon | is out of ideas otherwise |
| 01:40 | cait | lol |
| 01:40 | jcamins | Because I didn't put any label attribute in. |
| 01:40 | cait | ah, a browser thing |
| 01:40 | robin | cait: yeah, in English it's 'Submit', in Nederlands 'Query Verzenden'...I think it's what the browser does if no text is provided. |
| 01:42 | cait | jcamins: I really like the idea, our libraries would love it for fast cataloging |
| 01:42 | jcamins | Oh, chris is here! |
| 01:42 | cait | we have the fast add framework, but it's still very confusing for them |
| 01:42 | chris | yeah, lots of corporates and special libraries would love it too |
| 01:42 | jcamins | chris: wouldn't this be a great place to use MARC-keyword mappings? |
| 01:42 | chris | it certainly would |
| 01:43 | jcamins | That's how I think I want to do it. |
| 01:44 | Have keywords for "Author," "Title," etc. | |
| 01:45 | Because otherwise the MARC21 and UNIMARC will just have to duplicate code like in the COinS function. | |
| 01:45 | chris | yup |
| 01:46 | jcamins | I think I prefer having a single box for Title, and parsing it on ISBD punctuation, because more often than not, I think, this would be used to only enter the subfield $a. |
| 01:46 | braedon | jcamins: wait, weren't you just talking to chris just before? |
| 01:47 | jcamins | braedon: yes, I was. That was an "oh, I should take advantage of this because tomorrow morning he'll be asleep if he has any sense at all" moment. |
| 01:47 | braedon | lol, kk |
| 01:48 | cait | sleep? |
| 01:48 | * cait | looks a bit confused at jcamins |
| 01:49 | wizzyrea_ left #koha | |
| 01:51 | wizzyrea_ joined #koha | |
| 01:52 | wizzyrea_ | chris: btw, I giggled inside a little when we were in the library: issues and fees, indeed. ;) |
| 01:53 | chris | :) |
| 01:53 | yeah if you want to check out you go to a grocery store | |
| 01:53 | wizzyrea_ | ^^ verified as truth |
| 01:53 | or a hotel | |
| 01:53 | chris | yup ;) |
| 01:55 | cait | ok, time to sleep :) |
| 01:56 | chris | sleep well |
| 01:56 | cait | more packing, laundry and planning later today :) |
| 01:56 | jcamins | Good night. |
| 01:56 | chris | 1 more day? |
| 01:56 | cait | yeah, my trip will start tomorrow now |
| 01:56 | hm scary :) | |
| 01:57 | bob joined #koha | |
| 01:57 | jcamins | Hm, keywords don't support fixed fields. |
| 01:58 | cait left #koha | |
| 02:06 | jcamins | Figures that UNIMARC and MARC21 put the language code at different offsets in their respective fixed fields. |
| 02:07 | chris | :) |
| 02:08 | jcamins | I think probably I'll need to modify the authority chooser to allow the user to choose which type of authority. |
| 02:08 | Because adding radio buttons to the author and subject fields would be ugly and confusing. | |
| 02:08 | chris | hmm true |
| 02:09 | jcamins | Which means I have to figure out where the heck that authority chooser is. |
| 02:09 | chris | you're on your own there |
| 02:10 | jcamins | What, you don't know off the top of your head where it's hidden? |
| 02:11 | chris | nope |
| 02:11 | somewhere under cataloguing/ | |
| 02:11 | is my guess | |
| 02:12 | jcamins | Nope. |
| 02:12 | authorities/auth_finder.pl | |
| 02:12 | Which is also kind of logical, if you think about it. | |
| 02:15 | Shouldn't be too hard to change it to support choosing an auth type. | |
| 02:15 | rich-away is now known as richard | |
| 02:15 | gmcharlt | jcamins: is this for your simplified interface? why not have it tell the authority finder what the appropriate heading type to look for is? |
| 02:17 | jcamins | gmcharlt: I don't like the idea of having a radio button for "corporate author," "personal author," or "meeting author." |
| 02:17 | gmcharlt | ah, I see - perhaps have it search all three at once? |
| 02:17 | and whatever the user picks, select 100, 110, or 111 accordingly? | |
| 02:18 | jcamins | If I understand how the searches work correctly, it can only search one at a time, which means the user has to choose. |
| 02:19 | gmcharlt | it's just a matter of having the search do the equvalent of auth_type=personal or auth_type=corporate or auth_type=meeting |
| 02:19 | jcamins | Of course, that might not be an absolute requirement... certainly I like your idea a lot better. |
| 02:19 | gmcharlt | instead of just auth_type = foo |
| 02:20 | jcamins | I think I'll do that instead. |
| 02:20 | * jcamins | changes his TODO list. |
| 02:24 | jcamins | And, on that note, I think it's bed time. |
| 02:24 | Good night, #koha | |

| 06:45 | is christchurch generally the most active region, or is it just a coincidence that they are getting it now? | |
| 06:46 | chris | nope, it pretty much never gets earthquakes |
| 06:46 | wellington is far more active | |
| 06:46 | but it had one big 7 | |
| 06:46 | and then tons and tons of aftershocks | |
| 06:47 | magnus | yeah, about 2000 according to the map |
| 06:47 | but the ones in wellington are usually smaller? | |
| 06:51 | chris | well we had a big one in 1840 |
| 06:51 | and are about due another one | |
| 06:51 | we sit on 3 fault lines | |

| 07:56 | * chris | wonders how wizzyrea's dinner with jransom is going |
| 07:57 | larsw | magnus, depends on the target audience -- I have friends who track active volcanoes and would visit each one if their spouses would let them |
| 07:58 | chris | they went to http://www.leuven.co.nz/ |
| 07:58 | heya larsw | |
| 07:59 | larsw | hi, chris |
| 07:59 | chris | hows the haggis today? |
| 07:59 | larsw | is the kohacon now on? |
| 07:59 | chris | next week |
| 07:59 | magnus | larsw: yeah people have different priorities - i know some people come here to experience storms and "bad weather" ;-) |
| 07:59 | chris | ndf is on now, thats why jo is in town and wizzyrea and her family are sightseeing before the conference |
| 07:59 | magnus | ndf? |
| 08:00 | national digital...? | |
| 08:00 | chris | http://www.tepapa.govt.nz/What[…]10Conference.aspx |
| 08:00 | larsw | chris, ah, cool |
| 08:00 | Helsinki is also cool. perhaps even cold. | |
| 08:01 | magnus | helsinki is always cool! ;-) |
| 08:01 | larsw | it is sometimes uncomfortably hot, too |
| 08:01 | chris | ohhh you are in helsinki, thats right |
| 08:02 | larsw | until tomorrow only |
| 08:02 | magnus | i like helsinki - it's a bit like oslo, only on a bigger scale |
| 08:04 | chris | i must warn wizzyrea about this |

| 09:25 | when are you leaving paul_? | |
| 09:25 | ah, you arrive at 22nd right? | |
| 09:25 | slef | I see the French government say there is no air fuel shortage. |
| 09:25 | hi all | |
| 09:25 | paul_p | cait, We (hdl & me) leave tomorrow. 5PM Marseille, Amsterdam, Kuala Lumpur |
| 09:26 | slef, yes, but fortunatly, I won't go through Paris (not Air France, but klm) | |
| 09:26 | cait | ah, not much later than me, flight leaves 1930 |
| 09:26 | but you arrive later? | |
| 09:26 | paul_p | I just checked this morning, & Marseille <=> Amsterdam is OK |
| 09:26 | slef | Who could get rhcl.org to redirect kohacon.org to kohacon10.org.nz for now? |
| 09:27 | paul_p | cait, we stay 30hours in Kuala Lumpur |
| 09:27 | cait | oh |
| 09:27 | slef | Also, I just tried to send a message through the website contact form and I can't tell if it was sent or not. |
| 09:27 | paul_p | much easier to deal with jet lag when having a good night in a good bed in a good hotel ;-) |
| 09:27 | slef | paul_p: won't that give you just enough time to overcome jetlag and then you get more jetlag? |
| 09:27 | magnus | paul_p: good thinking! |
| 09:28 | Barrc joined #koha | |
| 09:28 | paul_p | slef: kuala-lumpur <=> NZ is just 2 hours more jet lag. I did that when I wen to New-Caledonia (30hours stop in tokyo), it's much better I think |
| 09:28 | and that let you almost 1 day for tourism ;-) | |
| 09:29 | slef | flying is always as bad as I think |
| 09:30 | I hope no-one is using Air France :) | |
| 09:30 | cait | they sent our suitcases to helsinki... |
| 09:30 | chris | slef: yeah i got the message |
| 09:31 | * cait | has some traumatic memories of travelling with air france |
| 09:31 | chris | forwarded it to kristina |
| 09:31 | cait | they should have arrived with us in st petersburg, not helsinki |
| 09:31 | slef | chris: cool. Some feedback on the page would be nice. |
| 09:31 | chris | yeah, probably wont bother now |

| 11:41 | cait | yeah, you can hide in the suitcase, druthb chose the hand luggage ;) |
| 11:43 | jwagner | Either would be more comfy than the office this morning -- there was a plumbing problem on the floor above us, so we have massive (loud) fans trying to dry everything out. No equipment lost, but a lot of drywall is going to need to be replaced. |
| 11:45 | imp | yay |
| 11:45 | did they drill holes into the drywalls to ventilate them? | |
| 11:47 | jwagner | I don't know -- happened over the weekend. There's a lot of drywall missing from the lower parts of the walls, so I think they just removed it altogether. |
| 11:47 | imp | sounds like fun ;) |
| 11:47 | jwagner | And after about half an hour of listening to those fans, I'm already about to scream. I may head back home and work from there for the duration.... |
| 11:49 | imp | .oO(there's a reason why i carry earplugs in my backpack) |
| 11:50 | jwagner | I have good headphones, but I don't think they'll help. One of the fans is about five steps from the door of my office :-( |

| 13:29 | jcamins | Good morning, sekjal |
| 13:30 | sekjal | morning, jcamins! |
| 13:31 | jcamins | Did I correctly understand from your Twitter post that UMass gives away staplers? |
| 13:31 | kmkale | there are still two errors 1) Line 201, Column 37: there is no attribute "autocomplete" 2) Line 417, Column 7: document type does not allow element "tfoot" here both not in my patch.. |
| 13:31 | sekjal | jcamins: the Library did, as part of the university's Open House event. mini-staplers, mini highlighters, bags and candy |
| 13:32 | (in addition to, you know, information) | |
| 13:32 | * jcamins | is very jealous... all he got from his alma mater was a lousy piece of paper |
| 13:32 | owen | kmkale: You can always ignore the "autocomplete" error. |
| 13:32 | kmkale | owen: ok. what about the tfoot one? |
| 13:33 | owen | <tfoot> is supposed to come right after <thead> in your markup. I know that seems wrong, but that's what the standard says. |
| 13:37 | kmkale | owen: its there before my patch. should I let it be or move the whole tfoot section right after <thead>? |
| 13:38 | humph there is no <thead> in boraccount.tmpl atleast | |
| 13:39 | so I guess just let it be.. | |
| 13:39 | owen | The validation errors can be treated as a separate bug, as long as you're not introducing new errors |

| 17:20 | hdl left #koha | |
| 17:23 | joetho | when connecting to my Koha server SIP2 service, the thirdparty application doesn't ask for a user- just a SIP2 password. This doesn't seem compatible with koha- or am I all wrong? |
| 17:25 | to clarify, I am referring to the configuration of my thirdparty application. That configuration asks for server location, port #, dbname, and password. No user. | |
| 17:26 | nengard joined #koha | |
| 17:27 | chris | that doesnt sound compatible with SIP2 |
| 17:27 | you can connect without a username and password, but afaict the standard doesnt allow for connection with a password but no user | |
| 17:28 | is it just using some hardcoded user when it actually connects? | |
| 17:28 | joetho | that's what I think too |
| 17:29 | this application doesn't have a really great track record. | |
| 17:30 | and yes, hardcoded user is what it looks like it expects, and I need to know which hardcoded user that would be. | |
| 17:30 | thanks chris | |
| 17:31 | slef | joetho: you could run netcat or socat listening on the SIP2 port and try to imitate a SIP2 server :) |

| 17:31 | chris | yup, had lunch with her yesterday, and thatcher and spud |

| 17:32 | jcamins | May I just state, if a 80- or 90-something-year-old patron can walk into the library and figure out how to use the Koha OPAC when I tell him he needs to use that instead of the card catalog, I think that indicates that Koha is doing something right. |
| 17:32 | slef | oh yeah - anyone want to go for dinner after conference days? Or sort that out when we're there? |

| 17:33 | nengard | slef no plans here - i figure i'll plan it all when i'm there |

| 18:01 | tcohen | hi, how can I efectively delete several biblios from a koha install? |
| 18:02 | jcamins | tcohen: Record->Delete Record? |
| 18:02 | Or do you mean you have a lot to delete? | |
| 18:02 | tcohen | yes, but I have a lot |
| 18:02 | exactly | |
| 18:02 | jcamins | Ah. |
| 18:03 | tcohen | for example every record whose itemtype is "SER" |
| 18:03 | slef | chris_n: aren't we live streaming? (does the venue have wifi?) |
| 18:03 | jcamins | tcohen: I think there's probably an obvious way, but I'm not sure what it is. |
| 18:04 | slef | and if it has wifi, will I upset them streaming video out? :) |
| 18:04 | tcohen | I can read the koha code for that, just asking jic someone has "the proper way of doing it" |
| 18:04 | just in mind | |
| 18:04 | slef | I've got something really odd going on - I can't POST web forms. |
| 18:04 | nengard | slef it sounds like wifi might be iffy |
| 18:05 | tcohen | is it ok to: (1) save a list of biblionumbers from biblioitems (2) delete them, (3) delete those biblionumbers from 'biblio' ? |
| 18:06 | slef | nengard: oic. FWIW I have one phone setup to broadcast to bambuser.com/m/mjray and I know there's another phone I could ask to use. |
| 18:06 | cait | I think the problem is histories and items |
| 18:07 | slef | sorry, bambuser.com/m/channels/mjray |
| 18:07 | cait | tcohen: check for existing items too and in old issues etc. perhaps better move them to deleted_...? |
| 18:07 | and rebuild index | |
| 18:08 | tcohen | I have 2k registers I need to delete, they can be catched with a WHERE clause over biblioitems |
| 18:08 | chris_n | slef: I think it is a cost-of-bandwidth issue iirc |
| 18:09 | * chris_n | impatiently waits for 11.6 million lines of logs to process |
| 18:11 | tcohen | cait: thank, i'll see haw can I do it |
| 18:11 | chris | We should have wifi, but yeah saturating it won't make ppl happy |
| 18:12 | International transit is the kicker | |
| 18:12 | If you could stream to an nz box, that repeated it | |
| 18:13 | That might be workable | |
| 18:13 | We do plan to professionally record it all | |
| 18:13 | To dv | |
| 18:14 | Which we'll burn to dvd for ppl to take back to offer for download in their countries | |

| 18:19 | wonders, sometimes, whether normalizing his authorities isn't a fool's errand | |
| 18:20 | jcamins | Hm. Don't hit Shift-Enter when you're using the auth_finder. |
| 18:21 | cait | did it explode? |
| 18:22 | slef | chris: cool. I'll ask BR if he can collect a DVD off me at the airport, and/or should we host a torrent tracker? We used to do that for some things. Not sure if we still have the service up. |
| 18:23 | jcamins | cait: yeah. |
| 18:23 | It opened up a new window for the results, and then when I tried choosing an authority, a bunch more windows opened up, and nothing happened. | |
| 18:23 | I guess it wasn't that exciting. | |
| 18:24 | chris | That might work slef |
| 18:24 | * cait | offers jcamins a lebkuchen |
| 18:24 | chris | Reed is trying to get some 2degrees sponsorship,/its pretty unlikely tho |
| 18:25 | slef | probably someone (archive.org? sf.net? gnu.org?) hosts community torrent trackers these days |
| 18:25 | chris | Luckily |
| 18:25 | We have someone from openlibrary ie archive.org | |
| 18:25 | Presenting | |
| 18:25 | So we can ask her :) | |

| 18:33 | i mean i have authorities but koha don't find them | |

| 18:40 | chris | And are using zebra? |

| 20:16 | cait | thx |
| 20:17 | jcamins | Interesting fact (unrelated to prepositions): when you search for "aat" in the authorities on the Staff Client, it returns records with "at." |
| 20:18 | "att" does not. | |
| 20:18 | chris | yeah i think its doing left truncation |
| 20:19 | jcamins | Is it supposed to do that? |
| 20:20 | chris | well we told it too ... but im not sure why ;) |
| 20:21 | * jcamins | shrugs - well, it won't search $7 no matter what I do. |
| 20:21 | chris | you've changed the zebra files and reindexed eh? |
| 20:21 | jcamins | No, I thought it did by default, and I have confirmed it doesn't. |
| 20:22 | chris | ah right |

| 21:19 | mib_kggqy | hey guys, i'm getting the following error when trying to check an item out that i have on hold http://pastebin.com/SSiANypz |
| 21:19 | koha version is latest git | |
| 21:20 | chris | hmm, and you have a branch set? |
| 21:20 | mib_kggqy | chris: yep, i only have one branch though |
| 21:21 | chris | i wonder if that might be it, do you have single branch mode switched on? |
| 21:23 | mib_kggqy | chris: i have it set to "allow patrons to select their branch.." |
| 21:23 | bankhead left #koha | |
| 21:24 | chris | hmm, so not that then |
| 21:24 | and it only happens if the item has a hold on it? | |
| 21:25 | mib_kggqy | chris: no it happens when i try to check out anything |
| 21:27 | chris | hmm, well i have 4 libraries running it in production, and they would have killed me by now if that was happening to them .. so we now just have to figure out what is different :) |
| 21:27 | items have a home and current location set for them? | |
| 21:28 | (it uses the branchcode of either the item or the one you have set in circulation, to decide on the issuing period) | |
| 21:28 | im guessing that somewhere its not getting a branchcode | |
| 21:28 | joetho left #koha | |
| 21:30 | mib_kggqy | well |
| 21:30 | current location and permanent location are set | |
| 21:31 | chris | im guessing maybe borrower then |
| 21:31 | mib_kggqy | but if i view the item in admin , the home library field under item information is blank |
| 21:31 | chris | ahhh that'd do |
| 21:31 | it | |
| 21:31 | mib_kggqy | is there a marc field for this? |
| 21:31 | chris | thats permanent location |
| 21:31 | does that branch exist? | |
| 21:32 | ie in the branch set up, is there one that matches the code that is in permanent location? | |
| 21:32 | mib_kggqy | yes, that was the problem |
| 21:33 | i guess since there was only one value for the option field, it was showing by default my single library | |
| 21:33 | chris | ahh |
| 21:33 | cool | |
| 21:33 | mib_kggqy | i just clicked edit and save and then it was showing a value for the home library field |
| 21:33 | chris | sweet |
| 21:33 | and now you can issue it? | |
| 21:33 | mib_kggqy | yep |
| 21:34 | chris | yay! |
| 21:34 | glad it was something simple like that | |
| 21:34 | mib_kggqy | yeah, thanks for the help! |

| 21:58 | chris | yes |
| 21:59 | its at catalyst | |
| 21:59 | slef | ok... I think battery capacity sucks anyway |
| 21:59 | robin | slef: assuming you have an NZ power adaptor |
| 21:59 | slef | robin: we have world power adaptors! |
| 21:59 | robin | then you're sorted :) |

| 22:00 | you need some nice chunky rectangular pins | |
| 22:00 | robin | the pins aren't bent, just rotated :) |
| 22:00 | slef | chris: you don't know how often I nuke that machine ;-) |
| 22:01 | ok, I'll probably decide this depending on how much cabin baggage space/weight I have left :) | |
| 22:01 | robin | slef: also make sure that it won't explode in a ball of flaming laptop if it gets exposed to real voltage :) |
| 22:01 | chris | :) |

| 22:04 | robin | 230-240 or something like that |
