12:52 and I got a new pot to use them all with :)
12:53 jcamins Ooh, this is good... the blizzard warning is only until noon.
12:53 nengard that's more like it munin - jcamins, munin told me 'light snow' -- i hear a blizzard outis
12:53 * cait got a mixer :)
12:53 nengard outside
12:53 paul_p BibLibre had many customers paying their bills, resulting in bank account that pleases my banker -and us- a lot :D
12:53 nengard :) hehe
12:53 that's a the best xmas present
12:53 paul_p nice chrismas gift, even if it was bills really to pay, not really a gift.
12:54 * druthb feels cheated. we were forecast 1-3" of snow, and got nothin'.
12:54 paul_p every year it's the same : the libraries realize they have some money to spend and pay the remaining bills immediatly, fearing to loose the money otherwise !
12:54 nengard druthb - feel free to come up our way - if you can get through the snow!!
12:54 cait hi druthb :)
12:54 nengard paul_p it's the same all over
12:55 cait paul_p: I know that phenomenom
12:55 is this spelled right?
12:55 hm.
12:56 ebegin paul_p, that mean you know when is the best time to propose them new features to develop. :)
12:56 nengard cait it looks right to me
12:56 ebegin, that's a good idea!!
12:56 cait nengard: thx :)
12:57 magnus isn't it phenomenon?
12:57 paul_p ebegin, right ! Aix-Marseilles signed for some devs in december just for this reason !
12:57 * magnus takes the dogs for a walk - hope to bbl
12:58 magnus left #koha
13:00 cait lunch time - christmas leftovers
13:00 bbl
13:02 nengard hehe
13:03 ebegin paul_p, about the new acquisition module, there is 2 values I would like some explanation on.  When creating a budget, there is an Encombrance and Expanditure (I'm sure nengard would like to know too for the doc) :)
13:03 nengard ebegin, i have a bug report for them
13:03 hang on
13:04 bug 4266
13:04 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4266 major, P5, ---, henridamien, NEW, encumbrance and expenditure not used in code
13:04 * paul_p suspect it isn't used anywhere in fact...
13:04 nengard :)
13:04 hence the bug report
13:04 ebegin bug 4266
13:04 oups :)
13:04 nengard hehe :)
13:06 ebegin Any plan for using them?
13:06 nengard i don't see why you would when creating a budget
13:06 if it's a new budget there shouldn't be anything encumbered or expended
13:07 and then if you let people edit those values the data stored in the database wouldn't be accurate
13:07 paul_p iirc, it was supposed to be the % before warning or forbidding new acq on this budget
13:20 cait paul_p: that makes sense
13:20 but the interface needs some work too - it's not clear what you are supposed to enter ther
13:20 e
13:20 percent or amount
13:24 tcohen joined #koha
13:27 ebegin IMHO, I think it should be remove until it is used in the code...
13:28 cait ebegin: yeah, I was going to hide them with jquery
13:29 ebegin Why not commenting them out from the .tmpl file?
13:30 cait ebegin: because I was not sure when the code would be added - there is still the acq branch waiting for integration
13:32 ebegin I think that the one who will add the code will have to uncomment them
13:39 jcamins The snow really is rather impressive, I must say.
13:40 druthb All we've got is a 40mph wind off the back of that system.  It dropped a few flakes last night, but nothing to accumulate.
13:41 jcamins Supposedly it's not snowing anymore, just blowing about.
13:42 ebegin jcamins, where are you?
13:42 jcamins NYC.
13:42 Nate joined #koha
13:43 * druthb waves to Nate
13:43 Nate Morning!
13:43 cait morning Nate :)
13:43 Nate morning cait!
13:44 we got a bit of snow over here!
13:46 magnus joined #koha
13:50 nengard I'm looking for opinions on bug 5419
13:50 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5419 normal, P5, ---, nengard, ASSIGNED, account fees not showing as reason to not check out
13:50 nengard I have made two suggestions
13:50 Hiya Nate!
13:51 Nate Hi nengard!
13:53 paul_p Hello Nate
13:54 jwagner nengard, see Bug 3484 -- is that what you want?
13:54 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3484 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, jwagner, ASSIGNED, Break down fee display on checkout tab
13:55 ivanc joined #koha
13:55 nengard jwagner not exactly, the staff want to know why the checkouts are blocked and they're missing the part that says 'checkout blocked cause of fines'
13:55 they don't care so much about the breakdown
13:55 but a combo of that screenshot and one of mine might do the job
13:56 jwagner but if the checkout tab shows patron owes $X in other fines, that should explain why it's blocked, shouldn't it?
14:11 nengard you'd think wouldn't you
14:12 but apparently they feel that because the overdues notice is first and bold that must be why it's blocked
14:12 the circ desk is busy and people just don't pay attention or take the time to pay attention
14:12 the specific complaint was that the reason for not being able to checkout does not stand out enough
14:16 and I don't think that splitting out the fines does anythng about that
14:19 jwagner OK, is this where we summon owen and his flashing animated icons :-)
14:19 nengard hehe - that's why I CCed him on that bug
14:20 @later tell owen bug 5419 needs your loving styling or your opinion :)
14:20 munin nengard: The operation succeeded.
14:22 jwagner @later tell owen bug 5419 needs big flashing lights and sirens and animated icons :-)
14:22 munin jwagner: The operation succeeded.
14:23 * jwagner usually HATES animated icons, but this may be a case where they'd be useful....
14:23 druthb @later tell owen I suggest a hardware solution to bug 5419; a taser that shocks the staff member who tries to bypass the warning..  :)
14:23 munin druthb: The operation succeeded.
14:23 cait there is no case where animated icons are useful
14:26 jcamins @later tell owen I have no opinion on bug 5419, but everyone else is leaving you messages, and I felt left out. Happy four-days-before-New-Years!
14:26 munin jcamins: The operation succeeded.
14:27 jcamins Is it possible to have two submit buttons that do different things?
14:27 (on a web form)
14:28 magnus jcamins: i think so, you give them different values and test for that
14:28 jcamins Hm.
14:28 cait using javascript
14:28 but perhaps easier to do it a different way
14:29 jcamins I want to know which is pressed in my Perl script.
14:29 druthb yah, you just give both buttons different "value" settings, and test for that in the script.
14:29 jcamins Cool, thanks.
14:32 Any idea how to test the @value of a submit button?
14:32 druthb1 joined #koha
14:33 jwagner druthb has finished the cloning module?
14:34 druthb1 alpha testing.
14:34 druthb left #koha
14:34 druthb1 harrumph.
14:34 druthb1 is now known as druthb
14:35 magnus jcamins: i think you just get the value the same way you would for any other form element - you give it a name and use that
14:35 jcamins Ah.
14:35 Thanks.
14:38 Hm.
14:39 After all that, I think I'm just going to make it a link.
14:41 cait heh
14:41 jwagner Drat. owen hasn't shown up, has he?
14:42 I have a site where I've customized the color only of the Cart button -- no other changes.  Anyone have an idea why the size of the button changes for no apparent reason and in no apparent pattern?  Refreshing a page, for example, might make the Cart button grow to twice its height.
14:45 jcamins Messing with your mind?
14:45 druthb pixies?
14:49 jcamins Is there a way to make JavaScript URL-escape strings?
14:49 jwagner All of the above?
14:50 jcamins encodeURI?
14:51 cait jwagner: hard to guess without looking at the code
14:51 ok, visiting my mum - see you all later :
14:51 :)
14:52 magnus jcamins: http://www.w3schools.com/jsref[…]ref_encodeuri.asp
14:54 jcamins Thanks.
14:55 It doesn't work.
14:55 What am I doing wrong?
14:56 Never mind.
14:57 magnus ok ;-)

15:44 markk joined #koha
15:44 markk hello to all
15:45 jcamins nengard: in this?
15:45 :P
15:45 nengard you're no fun :)
15:45 jcamins LGA, JFK, and EWR are all shut down.
15:45 nengard those are airplanes - not trains :)
15:45 jcamins I know.
15:45 I was mentioning that to indicate how bad the weather is.
15:45 sekjal my folks are hoping to fly through EWR this afternoon/evening
15:46 nengard sekjal - pretty sure that's not happening ...
15:46 :(
15:46 jcamins sekjal: closed until 4.
15:46 markk i'm importing authors with bulkmarcimport.pl ... some of these have a slash or a backslash in their names so it gets ommited by the script ... is there a way to fix it? like escape the \ or / ?
15:46 nengard it's the wind that's causing them to stay closed
15:47 markk sorry with bulkauthimport.pl
15:47 sekjal markk:  what version are you using?  bulkauthimport.pl has been deprecated in favour of bulkmarcimport.pl -a in recent versions
15:48 markk oh .. i'm using koha 3.2
15:49 sekjal markk:  okay, good.  in that version, use bulkmarcimport.pl -a
15:49 markk ok .. i'll try it now
15:52 "./bulkmarcimport.pl -a /root/test.txt" or "./bulkmarcimport.pl" shows me the script content :S
15:54 ok ... i forgot the -file before the path
15:54 but also it ommits everything after / \ ( )
16:01 jwagner Harrumph.  My resizing-cart-image must be catching -- I'm now seeing it on a different server running completely different code.  Sigh.
16:02 I think it has to be related to some stylesheet setting, but haven't been able to spot anything.

16:07 nengard morning Brooke
16:07 jcamins Okay, what's different between a MARC::Record from Z39.50 and a MARC::Record that's already been saved?
16:07 Brooke morning :)
16:07 jcamins Oh, right.
16:07 The former doesn't have a biblionumber.
16:08 Thanks.
16:14 Does anyone know how to print something to the Console in Firebug?
16:15 (using Firebug)
16:15 I want to see what opener.document.location is equal to.
16:15 * Brooke would bet you a doughnut that Owen would.
16:17 jcamins Ah, got it.
16:17 console.info();
16:17 My problem was missing parentheses.
16:17 * Brooke is glad that jared talks to himself.
16:18 druthb He does seem to get good answers that way.
16:18 * jcamins is just trying to share his hard-won knowledge.
16:18 druthb :)
16:18 jcamins Pair programming is hard when you're the only programmer in the office. ;)
16:20 Brooke indeed
16:20 I was being genuine. I like knowing the solutions to problems I've no grasp on.
16:20 it gives me a strange starting point of sorts.
16:20 nengard someone want to come over and take my dog out for me?
16:21 it's cold and wet and she keeps crying and then running back inside to the warmth
16:21 druthb Just hurl 'em out the door into a snowbank, nengard.
16:21 nengard hmmmm
16:21 druthb hehehehe
16:21 nengard you're not a good pet mommy
16:21 druthb Oh, yes, I am!  ask my owner--I mean, *cat*.
