12:49 magnuse g'day nengard
12:50 kf owen: around?
12:50 hm. no.
12:50 hi nengard :)
12:51 I am trying to change the link to the borrower's account on the check-in page
12:52 to go to the pay fines page
12:53 nengard do you need the right link?
12:53 or feedback?
12:53 I think it makes sense
12:53 kf ah sorry, thinking loud
12:53 trying to do it with jquery
12:54 but I am a bit stuck on how to change only the part of the link, but keep the borrower number
12:54 hoped owen would show up
12:54 nengard: I added a comment to the old bug - not reporting htat someone has fines during check-in
12:55 nengard why do you need jquery for that?
12:55 isn't it just an html link?
12:55 kf bug 1962
12:55 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=1962 enhancement, P3, ---, chris, NEW, Add fine notification during check-in
12:55 nengard cgi-bin/koha/members/pay.pl?borrowernumber=51
12:55 kf I don't want to edit the template files
12:56 thinking about a patch for that too - also not sure all want pay fines as default
12:56 at the moment the link goes to the details page
12:56 but you can't see the fines there
12:56 searching for a quick fix for one of our production systems
12:57 nengard does anyone know who designed the 'bridge' icon set in koha?
12:57 would be nice to get a new computer file icon since right now it's a floppy disk - maybe a thumb drive instead
12:59 kf yep
12:59 let me get the link for you
12:59 http://apps.carleton.edu/campu[…]ary/bridge_icons/
13:00 it's on the about page too I think
13:01 magnuse kf: yep: "The Bridge Material Type Icon Set is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5 License by the Bridge Consortium of Carleton College and St. Olaf College."
13:02 kf we have the icons in our horizon webpacs
13:02 you can even download photoshop files
13:05 nengard I'm not very creative/artsy so I can't create a new icon in that style - but maybe oleonard can
13:05 :)
13:05 or someone else artsy
13:05 thanks for the link though
13:06 kf I did one for article
13:07 it looks like score but whithout the note
13:08 https://webpac10.bsz-bw.de/pics/imgs/_article.gif
13:09 nengard did you submit it back to the project - and to Koha?
13:09 was just going to do one for Reference
13:09 using the book
13:09 kf uh no, not yet :( was planned but I forgot about it
13:09 nengard hehe
13:09 that's easy peasy! just email it to Matt mryan [at] carleton [dot] edu
13:09 and submit a patch to Koha
13:10 kf ok, will try to do it - will try to find the photoshop file
13:11 jcamins_away is now known as jcamins

13:35 nengard :) hehe
13:38 kf nengard: in  which format did you send it?
13:39 nengard to matt? I sent psd - in my patch it's a gif though
13:40 I'd like to see a new computer file icon and an icon for an audiobook - those two I can't figure out how to do with my poor art skills
13:42 kf would the note on a book work?
13:42 the red round note icon on the book icon?
13:43 nengard kf I was thinking of changing the CD icon
13:43 and putting a book in the red circle
13:44 but I don't know if I can do it
13:45 kf hm, yes, more complicated
13:46 nengard hehe
13:47 i guess the book with the sound circle would work too
13:52 kf hm, and the description?
13:52 Audiobook?
13:52 hope it's not too long

14:05 kmkale can someone tell me what "Holds to pull" is for?
14:05 marck i'm preparing for a little presentation about koha
14:05 nengard kmkale it's supposed to show you what holds are waiting for you to pull them off the shelf
14:05 marck and i got a problem
14:05 nengard if you don't allow on shelf holds then you should have an empty report
14:05 marck what prob?
14:05 kmkale aahh!! thanks nengard
14:06 marck i cant place a hold on an item
14:06 it gives me No copies are available to be placed on hold
14:06 nengard do you have a circ rule for all libraries, all items types and all patron categories?
14:06 you always need one rule for 'all'
14:06 marck yep i've set the Default rule
14:06 nengard and do you allow on shelf holds
14:06 ?
14:07 marck where do i set it?
14:07 sys prefs ?
14:07 nengard yes
14:08 marck got it :D
14:08 10x :D
14:09 is there any already made presentation to follow?
14:10 nengard I have a bunch of tutorial videos here: http://bywatersolutios.blip.tv
14:10 and there is a koha group on slideshare
14:10 http://www.slideshare.net/grou[…]ha-ils/slideshows
14:10 oleonard joined #koha
14:11 marck 10x! i'll check them out now
14:12 blip gave me Notice
14:12 I couldn't find that user
14:12 jcamins marck: typo. http://bywatersolutions.blip.tv
14:13 Great, the exterminator says that the only roaches he can find are dead.
14:13 oleonard Like the ending of a roach version of Reservoir Dogs...
14:15 nengard jcamins well that sounds promising
14:15 and thanks for fixing my typo
14:16 jcamins nengard: but he only just arrived, and hasn't done anything yet.
14:17 nengard if they're all dead what does he have to do?
14:17 jcamins nengard: something that will make them not come back.
14:20 nengard ah
14:20 got it
14:23 wizzyrea jcamins: thanks for the report :)
14:23 jcamins wizzyrea: my pleasure.
14:23 That one was fun.
14:23 wizzyrea I'm going to add that report to the bug for the "check for holds before deleting things" bug
14:24 jcamins Good idea.
14:24 I guess it should also go on the wiki.
14:24 wizzyrea well it's kind of only applicable because of the bug, imo
14:24 jcamins That's true.
14:24 wizzyrea if we were properly checking for holds before we deleted things we wouldn't need it
14:24 jcamins Right.

15:02 kmkale If a patron updates his details in OPAC a message "Your corrections have been submitted to the library, and a staff member will update your record as soon as possible." is displayed. In staff client where exactly is the staff to check and update? and how is s/he supposed to know that some patron has updated his/her details?
15:04 nengard it's sent via email to the staff
15:04 then they copy paste the changes into Koha
15:05 kmkale oh. Thanks again nengard
15:06 nengard btw - all of this is in the manual (which is why I keep answering)
15:07 kmkale sorry nengard i should have checked the manual 1st before asking
15:07 nengard :)
15:07 no problem! just reminding everyone
15:11 jwagner Speaking of patron details, was the patch on Bug 3596 ever pushed to head?  If I'm reading it right, one of the problems is that changes to the street address weren't coming through?
15:11 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3596 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, nengard, RESOLVED FIXED, OPAC Patron Details Form Missing fields

15:14 wizzyrea I'm still seeing the bad behavior, contrary to what owen says :/
15:15 oleonard really wizzyrea? We just got our upgrade this weekend and I've been seeing the correct behavior all morning
15:15 * oleonard is now on 3.2.x after putting it off forever
15:15 wizzyrea well I just checked it in magnus's demo, and it only says "not checked out"
15:15 nengard left #koha
15:15 wizzyrea same in both of our test servers
15:15 so either we're missing a preference or...
15:16 what version specifically are you using?
15:16 (i'm looking at master)
15:16 on 3.3
15:17 in our case: automaticItemReturn is "do"

16:07 paul_p oleonard, the task is more than huge ! I just took care of those coming from BibLibre. Will take care of some others i think, but not all. There are 120 bugs "patch pushed" atm...
16:09 oleonard Indeed. And I've found some new bugs just by going through that list and re-testing some things. It is definitely worthwhile!

17:39 bencahill so, I'm guessing a p4 1.6ghz is too slow to run even the lightest koha install?
17:40 jcamins bencahill: I think you could do it.
17:40 It won't be zippy, but I think it can be done.
17:40 wizzyrea it can be done
17:40 bencahill jcamins: well, I did it, but it's so slow :(
17:40 jcamins Ah. Yeah.
17:40 wizzyrea really memory is what you have to have plenty of
17:40 bencahill about 5 seconds for any pageload in the backend, or more
17:40 wizzyrea: not running out of memory...
17:41 wizzyrea: it's using 100% cpu during a pageload, not really any disk...
17:42 jcamins I'm running into a really weird error. For some reason, Koha is treating "select_city" like a field in the borrowers table during patron add.
17:43 bencahill wizzyrea: does koha not normally use much cpu?
17:43 wizzyrea I haven't experienced that thing (and I run 2 koha's on "substandard" hardware)
17:44 bencahill wizzyrea: odd...if it matters, I'm running arch...would the xml parser affect that?
17:44 (that=cpu usage)
17:44 wizzyrea no clue really, I only use debian and/or ubuntu
17:45 jcamins bencahill: which XML parser are you using?
17:45 * bencahill checks
17:45 jcamins And, yes, that makes a huge difference.

17:49 jcamins bencahill: cool, you have answered the question "would performance improve."
17:49 bencahill ah, that ^^ is the output of misc/sax_parser_print.pl, but I don't know how to change it :-/
17:49 jcamins Definitely not.
17:49 See INSTALL.debian.
17:49 It'll be the same for Arch.
17:49 Well, similar.
17:49 Just use locate.
17:50 (to find whatever file it is you're supposed to edit)
17:50 bencahill jcamins: what do you mean by "Definitely not."
17:50 ?
17:50 jcamins It definitely doesn't improve performance. ;)
17:51 bencahill what doesn't? :-/
17:51 * bencahill is confused, as usual :P
17:51 wizzyrea I think he means that having the wrong parser will impede performance
17:51 jcamins Using an XML parser other than the one you're supposed to does not improve performance.
17:52 bencahill jcamins: oh, gotcha :)
17:54 rangi if someone wants to answer hansbkk saying he can do what he wants by uploading a new record and using the merge biblio tool to merge tht with the existing one, that lets you combine choosing the fields you want
17:54 i would be very grateful
17:55 bencahill jcamins: I suppose I don't need to restart anything after changing the .ini?
17:55 jcamins bencahill: I don't think so.
17:55 Maybe Apache?
17:55 bencahill jcamins: can't hurt...
17:56 seems slightly faster, perhaps 4 seconds instead of 5 seconds...
17:57 wizzyrea: what do you classify as "substandard"?
17:58 wizzyrea rangi: sent (so nobody else duplicates effort)
17:58 probably similar specs to what you're using
17:58 bencahill wizzyrea: and it's (they're) not slow like mine?
17:58 nengard has anyone tried the batch edit of items with a amperstand in an authorized value - i have someone reporting that they are only seeing the first time change - i'm wondering if the & is doing it
17:59 wizzyrea I don't get complaints about them being slow like yours, no

17:59 bencahill wizzyrea: interesting...I could increase the ram, but it's only using 191MB (right now) out of ~640MB
17:59 and the system is running nothing else...
17:59 wizzyrea that is probably the only difference
18:00 mine have at least a gig each
18:00 how many items in your collection? how many patrons?
18:00 cait bencahill: i have koha on 2 laptops, never got near the 5 seconds

18:00 wizzyrea earthquake--

18:00 that
18:01 bencahill cait: it's why I'm confused, doesn't seem like it should be this slow
18:01 wizzyrea: (almost) fresh install
18:02 wizzyrea are you using the sample categories and stuff? do you perhaps not have everything configured?
18:02 what operation is taking 5 seconds?
18:02 what are you trying to do?
18:02 bencahill wizzyrea: a few of the sample stuff, not all
18:02 indradg joined #koha
18:02 bencahill wizzyrea: going from home (after login) to circulation (on the backend)
18:03 or any other pageload, for that matter...
18:04 jcamins bencahill: how does Apache work generally?
18:04 bencahill jcamins: well, I'm not using anything else on it, as this computer was just to serve koha
18:05 jcamins bencahill: hm.
18:05 Stick something like Wordpress on to see if Apache's the problem?
18:06 bencahill jcamins: I don't know how this relates to apache, but during a pageload, top shows the related .pl (e.g. mainpage.pl) taking 100% cpu for ~3.5 seconds, and then mysqld also taking ~50% for 1.5 seconds, and then the browser receives a response, and renders the page...
18:06 jcamins Wow. git log --pretty=oneline --graph --all is very daunting.
18:06 bencahill: not Apache then.

18:56 what do you think of this message:
18:56 "The biblio you requested does not exist."
18:56 is to be displayed if trying to open an invalid biblionumber in catalogue/detail.pl
18:57 cait hm perhaps an explanation, something about the index?
18:57 rangi If you include the biblio number
18:57 tcohen rangi: good one
18:57 rangi And ask them to cut and paste the message to give to whoever looks after the server
18:57 oleonard Did that used to give you a 404 error?
18:58 rangi Sometimes
18:58 Sometimes it exploded
18:58 tcohen on master, it gives an internal server error
18:59 rangi 404 on opac
19:00 tcohen yes, i'm talking about intranet
19:00 sprry for not explaining before
19:03 rangi Ok my stop bbl
19:06 tcohen oleonard: is it preferable a 404 error?
19:06 to a warning message box?
19:07 cait I think a moe specific message with an explanation is preferrable
19:07 oleonard tcohen: See Bug 2318 for a discussion of that
19:07 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=2318 enhancement, P5, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, Attempting to view details of a biblio that does not exists results in a 404 error
19:07 cait so people know that it's not a bug
19:07 oleonard I think a message is preferable to a 404 error
19:08 tcohen Uh, i didn't find that bug when filled 5791
19:08 mm, lets see: bug 5791
19:08 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5791 normal, P5, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, Robust handling of deleted biblios/authorities
19:09 oleonard tcohen: Since the 404 error doesn't seem to be working anymore I'm not sure your bug is incorrect
19:09 (unless we just don't know what conditions trigger the 404)
19:10 tcohen right now we don't have 404 error in master (for non-existent biblionumber)
19:11 I first found this behavior on authorities, thou
19:13 and i'm not sure bug 2318 is clear on what needs to be done, i mean: what's the conclusion?
19:13 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=2318 enhancement, P5, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, Attempting to view details of a biblio that does not exists results in a 404 error
19:14 oleonard There is no conclusion. The RM of 3.0 postponed the discussion ;)
19:14 It is probably worth raising the issue on the mailing list
19:15 tcohen ok, so the bug does not persist in master as we don't have 404 messages
19:15 that would make my bug valid :-P
19:15 oleonard That was my point as well tcohen
19:17 tcohen oleonard: i've sent an email on this
19:17 i think i have to go for a beer so this feeling that I wasted my time today goes away :-D
19:18 oleonard tcohen: Why do you think you wasted your time?
19:18 space_librarian joined #koha
19:18 tcohen because i've been coding to send the patch the last 40 minutes
19:19 and didn't take time to ask if 404 error was preferable
19:19 I see it coming!
19:21 cait I still think an error message is preferable
19:22 * oleonard too
19:22 tcohen the 404 doesn't trigger because the 'unless (defined($record)) {' is missplaced
19:25 rangi errror message is better for staff side
19:25 404 is better for opac
19:27 wizzyrea what's the package name for makemaker? or is it a cpan module
19:27 * wizzyrea has seen this before, cannot for the life of me remember how I fixed it.
19:27 wizzyrea but I do remember having to install makemaker.
19:38 gmcharlt wizzyrea: ExtUtils::MakeMaker is the CPAN package
19:38 wizzyrea ah thank you
19:38 I will correct myself
19:39 gmcharlt though it would be odd to find a Perl installation that lacked it
19:39 wizzyrea I think that I had it happen once, and it might have been ubuntu 10.10 (but it's really fuzzy)
19:40 it's been awhile since it happened (more than a few weeks, less than 6 months)
19:42 his description didn't seem like MM was missing, just that he was having permisison troubles

20:14 rangi cait: cool
20:15 cait but: I am not sure how to send it in - because the author is someone else
20:15 yhager Got a question about authority file. We are importing most of our records using Z39, but some need to be added manually. So what happens if an author has 2 books, one comes from z39, and the other local?
20:15 cait and not sure about the message
20:15 Note: Patron has fines in the amount of 5.00         For payment, visit the fines page.
20:15 yhager will it have two "authority records" then? How will the system know to associate the two books with the same author?
20:16 rangi cait: just note that in the commit and the copyright
20:17 cait there is only a mail address on the bug
20:17 rangi thats good enough, just use that

21:23 <memcached_servers>127.0.0.​1:11211</memcached_servers>          <memcached_namespace>KOHA</memcached_namespace>
21:23 mtj ah, as always, rangi has a better suggestion
21:23 rangi (down the bottom of the file before the </config>
21:23 )
21:24 bencahill ah, k, those two are empty right now
21:24 mtj cheers chris
21:24 rangi then
21:24 bencahill rangi: one sec...
21:24 rangi memoize_memcached('getFrameworkLanguages' , memcached => $memcached, expire_time => 600);
21:24 will kick in
21:24 bencahill where that ^^?
21:24 rangi: oh, nvm :)
21:24 rangi you may need to install
21:24 Memoize::Memcached
21:24 which is a perl module
21:24 so you should be able to cpan it on
21:25 bencahill already installed...
21:25 rangi cool
21:25 just memcached itself and change the config
21:25 and then it should be caching it, and hopefully that will speed it up
21:25 bencahill do I need to run anything or just change the config
21:26 rangi you need to check memcached is running
21:26 then change the config and you are done
21:26 bencahill ah, I just started it :)
21:26 ok, trying...
21:26 rangi try profiling it a couple of times
21:26 first should be slow, second should be faster
21:29 jwagner I don't think anyone answered my question from this morning -- was Bug 3596 ever pushed into head?
21:29 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3596 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, nengard, RESOLVED FIXED, OPAC Patron Details Form Missing fields
21:29 * bencahill waits for nytprofhtml
21:29 rangi if which head?

21:32 cait ah
21:32 I there are 2 patches for that bug in master
21:33 was looking at the one where only one file was changed
21:33 sorry
21:33 bencahill rangi: wow, completely nixed the Lang.pm (down to 13.4ms), so now pageloads are down to ~3.5 rather than ~4.8 seconds
21:34 rangi whats the big hit now?
21:42 pastebot0 "bencahill" at 74.193.23.53 pasted "big hits" (5 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/153
21:43 bencahill rangi: ^^ those are the ones still 100ms and greater
21:43 (sorry for being slow)
21:43 rangi yeah, not really anything we can do about those
21:43 all outside of koha
21:43 only thing you can try
21:43 is switch the session
21:43 (in system preferences)
21:44 bencahill the session?
21:44 rangi from using mysql to using /tmp
21:44 pauln joined #koha
21:44 rangi just search for session in systempreferences
21:44 hi pauln
21:44 bencahill rangi: oh, inside koha...
21:44 rangi yeah in the admin section
21:45 mtj ah, Date/Manip/Base.pm is still up there too
21:45 bencahill rangi: nothing to be hurt by trying it?
21:45 rangi nope, can always switch it back
21:45 pauln hi rangi
21:46 mtj heya pauln
21:47 rangi http://wiki.crisiscommons.org/wiki/CrisisCampNZ

21:51 jwagner left #koha
21:51 bencahill rangi: session didn't make much/any difference, but thanks for the memcached, big difference there :)
21:52 rangi: hopefully we'll acquire a faster computer than this p4 1.6 at some point :)
21:52 rangi that would certainly help :)
21:53 wizzyrea hee, "modern computer" doesn't mean "p4" to me, anymore
