| 14:00 | ebegin | So, I would like my search uses this field instead of the item current location or permanent location. Some of our bib doesn't have items (they are available online). Any idea ? |

| 14:12 | ebegin | Not a big deal... |
| 14:12 | owen | Wow ebegin, if kmkale gave you all of that you'd still be cold. |
| 14:12 | kmkale | :)) |
| 14:12 | ebegin | hehe |
| 14:12 | kmkale | and i will freeze too |
| 14:13 | ebegin | Here, in summer we can have +34 and -34 in winter... |
| 14:13 | kmkale | ouch |
| 14:14 | we are like 20 to 38 | |
| 14:14 | jwagner | ebegin, I went camping in Quebec once, in August. The temperature was below freezing at night. I was not equipped for that :-( |
| 14:14 | ebegin | I may plan to move in India too |
| 14:15 | jwagner, that was exceptionnaly cold for summer. | |
| 14:16 | jwagner, do you remember where you were> | |
| 14:16 | jwagner | That's what _I_ thought. I cut that trip short & went down into Maine, where it was warmer. |
| 14:16 | I was north of Montreal, I think, in the Laurentians. Near Chicoutimi (sp) | |
| 14:18 | ebegin | Ok, I see. What the h**l were you doing there ? :) |
| 14:19 | jwagner | Looking at pretty scenery, and freezing my extremities off! |
| 14:19 | ebegin | hehe |
| 14:19 | jwagner | I spent most of one night split between the campground's bathroom and my car, both of which were warmer than my tent/sleeping bag. |
| 14:21 | kmkale | ebegin: you can explore career opportunities in India during KohaCon11 if it comes here ;) |
| 14:21 | * jwagner | is still considering exploring career opportunities in New Zealand :-) |
| 14:22 | ebegin | :) I may. And I may also considere NZ and California too ;) |
| 14:22 | kmkale | I can assure you of huge Indian Library professional participation |
| 14:22 | a very close friend just moved to California :( | |
| 14:23 | atz | chris: I'd be interested to see some of the catalyst-style personal debian packages, if it is not a security issue to share an example. |
| 14:37 | wizzyrea | whoa, do we really get atz back? :) |
| 14:37 | atz | wizzyrea: indeed, somewhat. |
| 14:37 | wizzyrea | \o/ yay! |

| 14:39 | atz | thx kf |
| 14:39 | wizzyrea: state library is running millenium *and* horizon... w/ an evergreen test server setup. but koha is still of interest. I'll chip in when I can. | |
| 14:40 | wizzyrea | O.O |
| 14:40 | * wizzyrea | shudders |
| 14:42 | atz | yeah, last week I got to switch between III serials training and SirsiDynix Symphony sales pitch all day w/o break. |
| 14:42 | * jwagner | thinks that's likely to cause split personalities |
| 14:42 | wizzyrea | ^^ |
| 14:43 | atz | actually i was happy to see symphony stuff is a lot better polished than Unicorn used to be when I was at INFOhio |
| 14:43 | and III serials is very usable | |
| 14:43 | of course the bugs in each still drive me nuts. | |
| 14:43 | kf | and you can't repair them yourself... |
| 14:44 | atz | yeah, definitely can't even touch the III stuff. i'm responsible for a server I can't even ssh onto. |
| 14:44 | kf | uh |
| 14:44 | wizzyrea | ouch |
| 14:44 | owen | Boo. |
| 14:45 | atz | i'm kinda "meh" on it. not being able to do anything there frees me up to work more on koha/EG |

| 14:56 | wizzyrea | sometimes it's nice to have a server that you only have to make sure it's running and working. |

| 15:57 | ebegin | gmcharlt, around? |
| 15:58 | gmcharlt | ebegin: yes |
| 15:58 | ebegin | A quick question about MARC::Field. |
| 15:58 | Is there a way to get an array from the subfields() function? | |
| 16:00 | right now, when we have a field with a repeated subfield, we get the concatenation of the subfields values, ex: "value1|value2" | |
| 16:06 | gmcharlt, do you understand what I mean? :) | |
| 16:07 | gmcharlt | ebegin: MARC::Field->subfields() returns a list of listrefs |
| 16:07 | owen | I've worked with Koha so long I no longer know how my country spells 'authorized' |
| 16:07 | gmcharlt | as long as you are evaluating the results in list context instead of scalar conext, it shouldn't be concatenating them together |
| 16:08 | ebegin | gmcharlt, ok, let me check that. |
| 16:16 | fcapo joined #koha | |
| 16:18 | owen | Man, if you're showing your catalogers an example from your test system make sure the barcode isn't "wrong" or prepare for a freak-out |
| 16:19 | jcamins | Wrong library prefix? |
| 16:19 | owen | Yeah, to them it was like it was nails on a chalkboard. |
| 16:20 | I had to say hey, it's just an example. | |
| 16:24 | wizzyrea | oy |
| 16:40 | fcapo | hello, I'm still having a problem with my search results: Some books appear as "No Title" and the link points to an error page because borrowernumber="" |
| 16:41 | Tried reindexing many times. I'm using the -x parameter with rebuild_zebra because I have some huge records that make rebuild_zebra stop without it. | |
| 16:42 | The records that show "No title" aren't the large ones. The problem seems to affect random records. Looked at their XML and saw nothing stange. | |
| 16:42 | strange* | |
| 16:44 | I've been looking at that problem for a long time and still didn't find a solution :( Zebra seems to send some empty records when the syntax is set as "usmarc". | |
| 16:45 | When I set it as "XML", I get the results correctly, but Koha can't read them because it uses MARC::Record->new_from_usmarc() | |
| 16:53 | owen | sekjal: I just sent you a patch to test, if you're willing |
| 16:53 | For authorised_values.pl | |

| 17:51 | fcapo | I think I have found a way to fix my "No title" problem, but it will take some time to fix. |
| 17:52 | If I set the Zebra connection syntax to XML and then change all the MARC::Record->new_from_usmarc call to MARC::Record->new_from_xml, all my search results appear correctly. | |

| 17:53 | cait | hi #koha |
| 17:53 | fcapo | But I'd need to find and modify almost every instances of new_from_usmarc. I'll also need to change the calls to MARC::File::USMARC->decode :S |
| 17:57 | Just a question: is it a good idea to change the Zebra connection syntax to XML and change every new_from_usmarc to new_from_xml? I could add a setting in the preferences to let the user choose the format they want to use. | |

| 18:00 | Hoping someone will remember... | |
| 18:01 | chris | It'd be whatever you had you mysql tables set to |
| 18:02 | Fcapo: its slower from xml, that's the main reason | |
| 18:02 | fcapo | I tested it on my instance, it isn't noticeably slower for me |
| 18:03 | chris | It is with a lot of records |
| 18:04 | fcapo | I got 82000 records on this instance |
| 18:04 | chris | Yeah I'm talking lots :) |
| 18:04 | Add another 0 or 2 | |
| 18:05 | You could try benchmarking | |
| 18:05 | fcapo | ok :S . Still, it seems the only solution I found to prevent my search results from sending "No title" items randomly. |
| 18:05 | chris | Yeah, I've never seen that happen though |
| 18:06 | On all the kohas I run | |
| 18:06 | So there must be another solution too | |
| 18:06 | fcapo | It doesn't happen if rebuild_zebra is used without -x |
| 18:06 | but I need -x so I can process my large records | |
| 18:07 | jwagner | chris, the records seem to have a mixture of encoding, not just what's in the MySQL config. I was hoping for some magic answer :-) |
| 18:07 | chris | The way to do it would be to not just change everything to from xml |
| 18:07 | Because that may cause other problems down the track | |
| 18:08 | It would be to put that in a subroutine, and use a syspref | |
| 18:08 | atz | jwagner: sounds like a bear. |
| 18:08 | fcapo | That's what I'm talking about, adding a preference so an encoding could be chosen. |
| 18:08 | chris | So if you set createfromxml it uses xml, otherwise from marc |
| 18:09 | C4::Record is where id put it | |
| 18:09 | jwagner | atz, it's a whole menagerie :-( |
| 18:10 | atz | yeah, i had a not-fully-setup mysql w/ the wrong encodings hosting lithuanian koha records |
| 18:10 | once... | |
| 18:11 | jwagner | We have about three sites simultaneously, trying to upgrade from some flavor of 2.x, and having trouble with the encoding on all of them. Sigh. |
| 18:11 | atz | yeah, before you start changing mysql configs make sure to document what they are (were) when the data was entered |
| 18:12 | if you can't figure out where you started, you have a lot less chance of getting where you want to go | |
| 18:12 | jwagner | milk, spilt, crying over :-( |
| 18:12 | Our dataloader thinks some of them are double-encoded and others are in no coding she recognizes. | |
| 18:13 | atz | might go back to some backup dumps from before the config changes and check. |
| 18:13 | probably are double encoded though | |
| 18:14 | but there were always weird things in MARC8 to try to do diacritical/combining chars | |
| 18:15 | the default encoding in mysql changed between 4.x and 5.x too, iirc | |
| 18:16 | having started out as swedish or something | |
| 18:22 | chris_n` is now known as chris_n | |
| 18:29 | fcapo | How could I name a subroutine that gets a raw Zebra search result (from SimpleSearch for example) and converts it into a MARC::Record object depending on the Zebra result syntax used (XML or USMARC) :/ |
| 18:34 | chris | zebra_to_marcrecord |
| 18:34 | or something like that | |
| 18:35 | fcapo | ok, now I'm wondering if I'd put it in C4::Search because it is zebra related, or C4::Record because it is record related :P |
| 18:38 | chris | you have to make sure you only change the calls that are coming from zebra too |
| 18:38 | not other places that are doing things with the marc column in biblioitems (if there are any) | |
| 18:39 | right time to go catch my bus | |

| 20:09 | magnus | hehe, cool |
| 20:10 | today and tomorrow i'm in a place called Notodden - they have a university college that will start a master degree in FOSS this fall | |
| 20:10 | i don't know the details, but it sounds really cool | |
| 20:11 | ibeardsle | chris: they all appear in those first two lists! |
| 20:12 | magnus: if you can find a link on that, I'd be interested in tracking more info down | |
| 20:12 | rhcl | Notodden is on a lake, wonder how the fishing is there? |
| 20:13 | chris | magnus: and if they offer extramural (distance study) id be potentially interested in takin the course :) |
| 20:13 | magnus | not sure about the big lake, there has been lots of industry here so it might be a bit polluted - but they say there are lots of places to fish in the surrounding areas! |
| 20:14 | i'll check what info they have | |
| 20:15 | rhcl | it's about 100 km from langesund, on the ocean, there should be a few carp out in the ocean... |

| 20:42 | ebegin | what could be a syntax to search multiple branches at once ? |
| 20:42 | I would like to limit the results to more than one branches. | |
| 20:44 | cait | not sure they are working - but pehaps you could try search groups? |
| 20:44 | the groups that can be defined for branches | |
| 20:44 | chris | ebegin you can do it with ccl, or a crafted url |
| 20:45 | lemme find you an exampl | |
| 20:45 | e | |
| 20:45 | ebegin | cait, I can not really group the branches. I want to let the user pick (using a check boxes) the sites |
| 20:46 | cait | ah - sounds like a nice feature |
| 20:46 | we have only small libraries so far 1 branch each :) | |
| 20:46 | but we are working on one with 5 branches right now | |
| 20:55 | ebegin | chris, by ccl, you mean using "branch:DOC and branch:ARCH" for example? |
| 20:55 | chris | except with OR |
| 20:55 | ebegin | yep, of course ;) |

| 20:56 | owen | jwagner: No. If I was it would be marked "assigned" |
| 20:56 | jwagner | Or maybe I'm thinking of a different bug but can't find it -- I thought you were working on something that always displayed the user's library's holdings first. |
| 20:57 | * jwagner | could be hallucinating, of course... |
| 20:58 | owen | Not me |
| 20:58 | jwagner | OK, faulty memory then. Thanks. |
| 20:59 | owen | The feature sounds familiar, but I wasn't working on it |
| 21:00 | jwagner | I could swear someone was, and I thought there was a patch. But I can't find anything in bugzilla that seems relevant except that one. |

| 22:27 | Michael | Anyone out there? |
| 22:29 | sekjal | hi, Michael |
| 22:30 | Michael | hi |
| 22:31 | I've been sifting through Koha listserv archives trying to find something that relates to... | |
| 22:31 | grabbing data from Koha and displaying it on other websites. | |
| 22:32 | For example, I'd love to have an auto-generated list of "New Books" on a couple of different websites | |
| 22:32 | ronald joined #koha | |
| 22:33 | Michael | And I thought it'd be best if I could somehow go into Koha and grab all records that meet certain criteria (recently cataloged, recent publication date, etc) |
| 22:33 | and display a list of those titles on a webpage somewhere | |
| 22:33 | I'm just wondering if this is even possible | |
| 22:35 | wizzyrea | new books is a tough one |
| 22:35 | well, it is for us anyway | |
| 22:35 | sekjal | Michael: Koha has customizable RSS output that could be helpful here |
| 22:35 | wizzyrea | because you probably want "new books" that are actually by pubdate |
| 22:35 | and not acqdate | |
| 22:35 | chris | also checkout |
| 22:36 | https://github.com/alenkovich/[…]ly-acquired-books | |
| 22:36 | which i have a pull request open, with some changes | |
| 22:36 | wizzyrea | oh that's a very new thing isn't it |
| 22:36 | nice | |
| 22:37 | chris | https://github.com/alenkovich/[…]ired-books/pull/1 |
| 22:37 | which may or may not be useful | |
| 22:37 | Michael | thanks, i shall investigate |
| 22:37 | wizzyrea | makes you use the acq module tho |
| 22:37 | Michael | We're using version 3.01.00.145 Will this present a problem? |
| 22:38 | sekjal | Michael: that's pretty close to the current codebase (just before the release of 3.2), so it shouldn't be TOO bad |
| 22:40 | chris | wizzyrea: wouldnt be hard to change to just use pubdate |
| 22:43 | * wizzyrea | has a catalog full of bad data, gets shakespeare on pubdate RSS feeds. |
| 22:43 | wizzyrea | (no, they weren't reissues published this year) |
| 22:43 | chris | well yeah gigo :) |
| 22:43 | wizzyrea | just sayin, ymmv |
| 22:43 | ;) | |
| 22:44 | sekjal left #koha | |
| 22:44 | wizzyrea | so in that sense, using the acq module is smart, because it's got actual catalog dates |
| 22:44 | * wizzyrea | mutters about MARC |
| 22:44 | mutters about humans | |
| 22:45 | * gmcharlt | mutters at both, considering that the latter is responsible for the former |

| 22:58 | Michael | regarding https://github.com/alenkovich/[…]ly-acquired-books , one of my team's smartypants people says... |
| 22:58 | "This should work. It generates a web page from the database and places that page in the Koha interface. I'm not sure where we are supposed to put these files though..I'm guessing it needs to be uploaded to some directory (not sure where) on the server that Koha resides on and... | |
| 22:59 | ...the config file needs to have the access information (username and password) to the koha database." | |
| 22:59 | chris | if you use my fork (until its pulled) |
| 22:59 | it uses C4::Context | |
| 23:00 | so you dont have to have it defined again in another file | |
| 23:00 | Michael | you're referring to koha-recent.pl |
| 23:00 | ? | |
| 23:01 | chris | https://github.com/ranginui/Ko[…]ly-acquired-books |
| 23:01 | its designed to run as a cron job, and then you have a static html file you can scp to whereever you want | |
| 23:02 | i changed it to use C4::Context to get a database handle | |
| 23:02 | Michael | okay |
| 23:03 | * gmcharlt | prefers more integrated approaches, but I've no problem sticking that on Michael's Koha DB if wanted |
| 23:03 | chris | gmcharlt: thats step 1 in integrating it |
| 23:03 | step 2 is an option, to write a file, or print to stdout | |
| 23:03 | step 3, put it in misc/ | |
| 23:03 | in the koha repo | |
| 23:04 | gmcharlt | still a fair amount of duplication |
| 23:04 | chris | somewhere in there change it to respect the syspref for where you want book covers from |
| 23:04 | gmcharlt | especially if you consider things like the cover source |
| 23:04 | chris | yep |
| 23:04 | gmcharlt | something that did something like (say) seeded a public list with the items |
| 23:04 | chris | the idea alen had, and this makes sense |
| 23:05 | wsa that that would run on some server that knows nothing about koha | |
| 23:05 | but can connect to the db | |
| 23:05 | gmcharlt | or pushed a list of bib IDs generated somehow (e.g., via the SQL query) through Koha's bib result display and formatting |
| 23:07 | chris | its only me that changed it to bind it more tightly to koha |
| 23:08 | Michael | I'd like to give it a try if you think it'll work, Galen. |
| 23:08 | gmcharlt | Michael: sure (you can safely ignore the friendly argument chris and I are having :) ) |
| 23:08 | Michael | Just let me know what *I* need to do on my end of things |
| 23:09 | gmcharlt | chris: considering that the original includes SQL queries that rely on a knowledge of Koha's schema, it was already pretty tightly integrated |
| 23:09 | Michael | That was a friendly argument, was it? I was waiting for the expletives to fly... ;) |
| 23:10 | gmcharlt | if one were writing an ILS-dependent new books list, I'd expect it to use RSS feeds, or OAI-PMH, or something |
| 23:10 | chris | gmcharlt: true, but no koha modules |
| 23:10 | for someones first attempt, i didnt think it was that bad | |
| 23:12 | gmcharlt | that's fine, but it would have a ways to go to being a first-class feature in Koha itself |
| 23:12 | chris | yup |
| 23:13 | i still want one where you can easily pick the ones you want to display | |
| 23:13 | gmcharlt | what I think it really points at, actually, it that's it's time to redo contribs |
| 23:13 | chris | yup |
| 23:14 | i think we were waiting on a volunteer to host | |
| 23:14 | my linode is chokka block | |
| 23:14 | gmcharlt | I don't know about you, but I feel no particular attachment to PEM |
| 23:14 | chris | nope |
