10:37 kmkale hi kf
10:38 wow. being away helps in karma :)
10:38 kf being busy for kohacon helps too :)
10:39 kmkale hehe. yes working on something you really like is great.
10:39 kf true :)
10:43 magnuse so true
10:44 * kmkale cant figure out why the title image wont come above the header in OCS as its supposed to :(
10:46 kf hm, some git tips for me? I want to backport a bigger feature with lots of patches to 3.2.2
10:46 it was written for head a while ago, so should not be too bad
10:47 * kmkale is scared of all things git
10:47 * kf loves git
10:47 kf but have still to learn a lot
10:48 magnuse i would guess you somehow turn the patches into a branch and then rebase that on 3.2.x, but i'm not sure how you would actually do it...
10:49 * magnuse loves git too
10:49 kf hm not sure that can work
10:50 because it downwards
10:50 perhaps cherry-picking?
10:51 magnuse maybe http://www.kernel.org/pub/soft[…]-cherry-pick.html
10:52 kf thx :)

13:20 jcamins Good morning, #koha
13:25 kf hm
13:25 git question
13:25 I have cherry picked a lot of patches into my 3.2.2 installation - now i want to create one big patch from them
13:26 nengard i have an authorities question: I have a new koha install and am cataloging my personal collection. This is the first time I've cataloged a real collection so I never noticed this before.  I have BiblioAddsAuthorities set to 'allow' so what's happening is it's adding an authority for every book - even if the author exists already.
13:26 I tried to select an authority instead, but it wouldn't let me do that
13:26 Is this the expected behavior?
13:27 druthb kf:  git rebase --i    would be the tool you need.
13:27 nengard morning jcamins
13:27 kf rebase against what?
13:27 druthb if you had ten patches, use git rebase --i HEAD~10, then pic the oldest one, and squash the rest.
13:28 kf which branch is HEAD in this statement?
13:28 the parent branch?
13:28 druthb the working branch.
13:28 kf ah
13:28 jcamins nengard: I always used BiblioAddsAuthorities + selected auths (when they already existed) without any problem.
13:28 kf druthb++
13:28 :)
13:28 druthb thankee.
13:28 nengard jcamins was that in older versions maybe?
13:29 jcamins nengard: Possibly.
13:29 kf you even guessed the right number :)
13:29 nengard And was it on add and edit - or just adding a bib record
13:29 I tried to change the authority when editing on most of these once I realized what was happening so i'm wondering if it's an edit bug
13:29 jcamins I'm on 3.3.0.003.
13:29 nengard hmmmm
13:29 not that old than
13:29 jcamins No, it would have to be a new bug.
13:30 nengard I'm on 3.03.00.019
13:30 K - let me do a bit more testing before I report anything
13:35 kf druthb##
13:35 druthb++
13:35 * druthb blushes.
13:35 nengard jcamins (and all) looks like a bug to me, i just tried to select an authority on 4 books and it did not take after I saved (and I did reindex the authorities)
13:35 kf thx a lot :)
13:36 jcamins I will not be updating today, then.
13:36 ;)
13:38 (not that I was planning on doing so, but now I definitely won't)
13:44 tcohen is there anyone that can sign-off patch for Bug 4903 around?
13:44 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4903 major, PATCH-Sent, ---, gmcharlt, ASSIGNED, OAI doesn't work out of the box - XSL path
13:44 * oleonard seems to have busted his VirtualBox VM by upgrading
13:45 tcohen oleonard: usb problems in VB 4?
13:45 oleonard Yup
13:45 nengard bug 5803 submitted
13:45 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5803 normal, P5, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, editing records not changing authority
13:45 tcohen oleonard: "Extension pack"
13:47 oleonard Yeah, but now I'm getting "Failed to open a session. pdm#1: Device 'usb-ehci'/0 not found in the saved  state"
13:48 tcohen oh
13:49 oleonard The only suggestion I've found so far is "discard the saved state"
13:49 http://forums.virtualbox.org/v[…]c.php?f=6&t=37978
13:49 I guess it hasn't been that long since I restarted it, I could do that...
13:51 tcohen i guess that would not be a problem

13:56 oleonard tcohen: VM back up and running. How does one test 4903?
13:58 tcohen oleonard: good question, i've only used PKP Harvester
13:58 i'm looking for a command line tool to tell you
14:00 druthb is now known as druthb_away
14:10 tcohen oleonard: i cuoldn't find a tool like yaz-client for OAI
14:11 but you could access your testing koha
14:11 through cgi-bin/koha/oai.pl
14:11 and see the result
14:11 in a standard install (not a dev one) you'll get an XSLT path error message in the logs
14:11 with the patch, you wont
14:12 * oleonard has a dev install
14:12 tcohen the patch is really simple. thats why I insist
14:13 instead of using a dev-install-only-wortking path I replace for 'intrahtdocs'
14:13 so it works on every install type
14:14 I have it in production in 30 kohas...
14:17 druthb_away is now known as druthb
14:18 oleonard Sorry tcohen, all I can do is confirm that it works in a dev install.
14:18 tcohen thanks oleonard, hopefully someone with a standard install will test it ...
14:21 it's a pity that a so-trivial patch takes so much time
14:22 * oleonard feels the same about some of his own patches

14:37 marcelr kf? have a question on 5701 and the 880 fields..
14:40 wizzyrea oleonard: have you experienced any weirdness with adjusting pickup locations in 3.2.x? (or 3.3, for that matter)
14:40 oleonard Yes, in that we never do it because we're afraid it's broken.
14:41 wizzyrea AHA

14:47 jcamins wahanui: privet
14:47 wahanui jcamins: what?
14:47 jcamins :(
14:48 kf I see it
14:48 the code is from my coworker, so I will have to look at it
14:48 marcelr kf: still have your question about volumes and sets
14:48 kf but it displays labels in some cases?
14:49 marcelr not foor authors
14:49 kf I am working on backporting that to 3.2.2 for our customers right now
14:49 marcelr: yeah, i think it woudl need some changes to make it work for authors
14:49 are you working on a patch for opac?
14:49 marcelr not yet
14:49 kf ok
14:49 marcelr and the sets?
14:49 kf I can try to fix it myself - will have to study the code first
14:50 the sets?
14:50 do you have the bug number at hand?
14:50 marcelr kf: I still see one one bigger problem: A link downward from the set record to the volumes – 001 > $w. Or any link that requires a search in the Record-control-number index (rcn).
14:50 kf ah
14:50 yep
14:50 we have links to the volumes in the set record
14:50 marcelr but did not have to do with author stuff
14:50 kf if you have a (Orccode)number in $w in the volumes those links are problematic I think
14:51 I wanted to do some more tests but remember zebra was not happy about parenthesis
14:51 no
14:51 marcelr still had some patch about parsing org code
14:51 druthb joined #koha
14:51 kf yep, talking about that one
14:52 marcelr it just removes the orgcode and pars
14:52 kf sorry, I have to look at it again
14:52 what about the index?
14:52 the index will have the marcorgcode and parenthesis indexed?
14:53 marcelr do yo mean zebra
14:53 kf yes
14:53 marcelr yes it is indexed only removed when displau
14:53 kf I think your solution works for $w > 001 links, but not sure about 001 > $w links
14:53 001 is only the number, because the org code is in 003 - I see no problem there
14:54 marcelr ok
14:54 kf I see a problem with 001 > $w
14:54 marcelr could you open new bug?
14:55 kf I can't promise right now
14:55 I have a lot on the table this week :( it's been a bit crazy
14:55 marcelr well we could check later
14:59 kf ok
15:01 I will try to write something on the bug this week
15:01 wanted to do some tests with zebra
15:02 marcelr ok, please see 5622 and 5662/3 too for the control nos
15:03 kf ok
15:04 thx marcelr
15:04 marcelr the same
15:04 kf I have a file with test records I could send you - that shows the various links
15:04 marcelr ok, but can't see staff side
15:05 kf hm?
15:05 marcelr only links to opac, if you mean that
15:05 kf ah, I was talking about a file with marc records
15:05 marcelr ok, would be helpful to see them
15:05 kf that you could import and take a look at the relationships
15:05 can you pm me your email address?
15:06 marcelr will reply on your last mail
15:12 kf thx

15:27 nengard hello all, i thought i reported a bug about the marc view not showing when you click the 'marc' tab in the staff client ... but i can't find it ... did the fix get pushed?
15:27 jcamins nengard: I think that was one of the variable renaming things that sekjal fixed.
15:28 nengard thanks jcamins
15:28 marcelr detail view is back
15:28 nengard sekjal is the one who just reported it as a problem :) hehe
15:28 marcelr owen fixed it
15:28 jcamins Oh, just fixed.

15:31 the translation script refuses to work on my 3.2.2 dev :(

15:37 Agreed!!

15:39 * wizzyrea had to change 99 staff accounts about a month ago
15:40 wizzyrea it would be easier to codify the permissions and do it through the database :P
15:40 hm. I recognize that sentence probably made no sense to anybody but her.
15:40 me
15:40 lord.

15:42 wizzyrea thanks :D
15:43 * jcamins recalls the plight of his late sourdough starter and weeps
15:43 jcamins Cut down in the prime of its life, it was.
15:43 oleonard jcamins: I'll bet the government was forced to ship it to the North Pole wasn't it?
15:44 marcelr left #koha
15:45 jcamins oleonard: they threatened to.
15:47 I pointed out it wasn't necessary, since it's cold enough here that its progress toward sentience is likely to be retarded.
15:52 * druthb perks.  "Late sourdough starter?"
15:52 jcamins druthb: yes, it is an ex starter. :(
15:52 druthb awww.
15:53 jcamins It was doing really well for a while, then it turned blue.
15:53 druthb hm.
15:53 jcamins (bad sign)
15:53 druthb some kinda foreign cooties got in there?
15:54 jcamins I'm thinking of just buying a stronger live starter from King Arthur Flour, to give it a better chance.
15:54 Yup.
15:57 fcapo joined #koha
15:58 wizzyrea cooties, heh
16:01 fcapo Hello, when doing searches with a huge number of results ($b for example), I sometimes get "No results found!" even if the search should have returned results.
16:01 Reloading the page then makes the search reasults appear correctly... Anybody else got that problem?
16:01 wizzyrea I've seen that once
16:02 but it wasn't koha proper.
16:02 fcapo I tried reloading the page constantly with CTRL-SHIFT-R and I get a "No results found" like once every 40 reloads.
16:03 It seems completely random :/
16:03 wizzyrea I wonder if you happened to get it while your zebraqueue was running?
16:03 that might not be the right word
16:03 fcapo I also tried deactivating any reindexing, it still did it.
16:03 wizzyrea that blows that theory ;)
16:04 fcapo Yep, I was hoping it would be that, at least I would have known what was causing the problem...
16:12 Anyways, that's a hard to reproduce minor annoyance :/ Was just hoping somebody had a solution for it. Thanks for the feedback.
16:12 wizzyrea yea, I saw that one time
16:12 where it said "no results found" and searching again made them come up
16:13 fcapo Happy to know I'm not the only one who noticed that :P
16:13 wizzyrea emphasis on "one time" -- as in, a single time :)
16:13 * wizzyrea is perhaps caught up in the missing verbal cue that goes with the phrase "one time"
16:20 jcamins We have a library reporting that they have to override checkouts if there are any fines at all.
16:20 Even if the fines are less than noissuecharge.
16:20 wizzyrea O.O
16:21 jcamins I'm investigating, and it looks to me like noissuecharge is summarily ignored if IssuingInProcess is set to false.
16:22 Does anyone have checkouts working with IssuingInProcess set to false?
16:26 slef yengh. I keep forgetting #koha has moved and my client gets annoyed if I try to connect to a dead proxy.
16:27 oleonard jcamins: You mean if IssuingInProcess is false checkouts are blocked even for those under the noissuecharge limit?
16:27 jcamins Right.
16:27 slef @seen nengard
16:27 huginn slef: nengard was last seen in #koha 50 minutes and 15 seconds ago: <nengard> Agreed!!
16:27 jcamins At least, that's what my perusal of the code suggests.
16:27 slef nengard: does/should the manual mention 040$c when adding records?
16:28 oleonard jcamins: Checkouts blocked from the get-go, or after you scan something?
16:28 * oleonard sees an example in his live system where a patron is not blocked from checkout even with fines
16:28 jcamins oleonard: I scan something and it pops up a message asking "Please Confirm Checkout"
16:29 And you have IssuingInProcess set to "Don't prevent"?
16:33 wizzyrea jcamins: and it's mad about fines?
16:33 oleonard I confirm your observations jcamins, and yes to "Don't prevent"
16:34 wizzyrea to recreate this, you need a patron who has a fine, but less than the threshold, correct?
16:34 oleonard Is IssuingInProcess specifically designed to check rental charges?
16:34 wizzyrea yea
16:34 jcamins wizzyrea: that's correct.
16:34 wizzyrea k
16:34 oleonard Yes wizzyrea, and you won't see the warning until you try to check something out to them
16:34 wizzyrea k
16:34 * wizzyrea is checking too
16:35 wizzyrea yes, I see that too jcamins
16:36 jcamins Okay, this blows a couple of holes in my theory: when I change IssuingInProcess to "Prevent," it still complains.
16:36 wizzyrea with IssuingInProcess set to "don't prevent" it asks me to confirm checkout for a patron whose fine is less than the threshold
16:37 * wizzyrea has an idea
16:37 wizzyrea nope, it's not that
16:37 * wizzyrea thought it might have something to do with the format of the amount in the syspref
16:37 * jcamins thought that too.
16:38 nengard slef, how so? it's in the cataloging guide
16:39 http://koha-community.org/docu[…]?ch=x8399#AEN8402
16:41 jcamins Okay, I managed to fix it, but I can't begin to imagine what the reasoning behind the way the code stands now is.
16:41 * wizzyrea waits with bated breath
16:41 slef nengard: that talks of OCLC codes which only apply to some libraries. Could it be in http://koha-community.org/docu[…]?ch=c8046#AEN8054 maybe
16:42 jcamins It does exactly what I said. If IssuingInProcess is set to "Don't prevent," it doesn't check whether it should complain or not.
16:42 It just does.
16:42 (it just does complain)
16:42 wizzyrea right :)
16:43 jcamins Wait...
16:43 The plot thickens.
16:44 pastebot0 "jcamins" at 208.120.0.116 pasted "# DEBTS my ($amount) = C4::Mem" (18 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/154
16:44 nengard slef, i'm a bit confused (granted I didn't read back to see what you're talking about yet)  Why would I want to talk about OCLC at all in that section? Wouldn't adding that it's an OCLC specific code to the cataloging guide be enough?
16:45 jcamins It used to be the case that one could not override fines.
16:45 slef nengard: the cataloguing guide talks about OCLC, but other libraries need to complete 040$c in common Koha setups before they can Save.
16:46 jcamins Rather, one could not override fines greater than noissuecharges.
16:46 Does anyone have an older server they can test on?
16:47 wizzyrea how old = older
16:47 jcamins I don't know, prior to 3.3.0.16.
16:47 Oh, I have a 3.2 install.
16:47 wizzyrea I have one that's ... yes, I think so
16:47 it's 3.3 but prior to 16 I think
16:48 let me check
16:49 13 is this one
16:49 nengard slef is that a framework problem? or does Koha really require it?
16:49 I would argue it shouldn't be required in default Koha
16:49 jcamins nengard: I think it's required by MARC21.
16:49 nengard and if the library is an OCLC library they should make it required
16:50 Hmmm
16:51 wizzyrea jcamins: i see it in 13 as well
16:51 slef nengard: Probably a framework choice; it's in the frameworks supplied with Koha; lots of new-to-MARC librarians start with those; maybe we should remove the requirement in the supplied frameworks?
16:52 jcamins wizzyrea: hm. I'll see if it's in 3.2.something.
16:52 wizzyrea git blame might tell you something
16:52 nengard slef, that's what I'm thinking
16:52 wizzyrea about when it was changed
16:52 when/if
16:52 jcamins wizzyrea: unfortunately, it tells me it was changed 3 years ago.
16:52 wizzyrea d'oh
16:52 nengard jcamins not all libraries on Koha are using MARC21 - or even any flavor of MARC - it should be up to the library to mark the fields required that they want required
16:53 and the frameworks in Koha should only have Koha necessary fields required
16:53 yhager left #koha
16:53 jcamins nengard: I know, but we do call them MARC21 frameworks.
16:53 slef nengard: if so, I'll do that, I think I have some resources for Koha-community work again now (yay - finally recovered) and it'll help me get back into patch-submitting.
16:53 nengard maybe we need to change that too :) since all cataloging is dependent on them they shouldn't be so marc21 specific
16:53 slef it might be a touchy change to make
16:54 but I think it should be made - so you have my vote
16:55 * wizzyrea kicks herself for not thinking to register kohacommunity.org
16:56 jcamins 3.2.something also has this problem.
16:56 wizzyrea but yet we're not hearing all too many screams about it... lots don't fine I guess?
16:56 jcamins wizzyrea: I guess.
16:58 wizzyrea: also, in response to the domain, yuck.
16:59 wizzyrea nengard: re: wordpress gallery see: http://codex.wordpress.org/Gallery_Shortcode
16:59 nengard thank you!!
16:59 wizzyrea did someone register it???
16:59 oleonard nengard: Guess who.

17:11 probably no hope there, then
17:11 jcamins Nope.

17:13 jcamins jwagner: kohacommunity.org
17:13 oleonard jwagner: http://kohacommunity.org
17:13 jwagner I'm assuming it's one of the domains we registered over a year ago.
17:14 oleonard How does that justify it?
17:14 jwagner Not saying it does.  We've offered multiple times to discuss koha.org and other web issues, and been rebuffed every time.
17:14 slef jwagner: fair comment is not slander.
17:15 jwagner: ITYM you've offered multiple times to control the koha community and been rebuffed every time.
17:15 oleonard jwagner: I'm tired of that line
17:15 jwagner I'm tired of the crap I take in here all the time.  Shall we have an exhaustion match?
17:16 oleonard jwagner: There's only one reason to buy and redirect kohacommunity.org to koha.org. That reason is to sow confusion and cause harm to koha-community.org
17:16 jwagner What are the registration dates for the domain?
17:16 slef jwagner: no, let's play nice and not register each others' names every chance we get.
17:16 Last Updated On:18-Feb-2011
17:17 jwagner Is that the registration date or renewal date?
17:17 oleonard jwagner: Who cares? What does it matter?
17:17 If PTFS wanted to play nice the redirect wouldn't be there.
17:18 jwagner It matters as far as everyone having tantrums right now for something that may have been done and in place for well over a year.
17:18 rangi being in place for over a year
17:18 MAKES IT WORSE
17:18 slef jwagner: neither. It's when PTFS last updated it.
17:18 oleonard jwagner: If PTFS wanted to play nice, the redirect would not be there
17:18 slef (or their suppliers)

17:22 slef I've just had a server give me "(20014)Internal error: Error reading request entity data" for the second time in two days. Yesterday it was on tools/stage-marc-import.pl and today it is on cataloguing/addbiblio.pl - what's going on/what's going wrong? Anyone here seen that before?
17:22 jwagner We have asked repeatedly for community involvement with redesigning koha.org -- NOT us controlling it, but redesigning it to work with the community.  The latest request was in discussions I had with Bob Birchall at KohaCon.  There has been NO response to that.  Why shouldn't we make use of a site we own, since the only feedback we get is negative?
17:23 oleonard jwagner: We don't want to help you redesign a site we have no ownership in
17:23 The discussion at the moment is: Why does kohacommunity.org redirect to koha.org?
17:23 jwagner Not even to make koha.org work with the community site and resources?  That's what we offered.
17:24 oleonard jwagner: Why does kohacommunity.org redirect to koha.org?
17:24 jwagner It redirects because all the domain names we purchased a year or more ago do.  If you'd like to help us make koha.org useful, we're (STILL) open to discussion.
17:24 oleonard jwagner: That's not an answer
17:24 rangi point koha.org to koha-community.org
17:24 oleonard jwagner: PTFS can control where its domains point
17:24 rangi or give koha.org to HLT
17:24 either works
17:25 nothing else does
17:25 now im going back to helping ppl find food in christchurch
17:35 jcamins Okay, now I'm confused.
17:35 Can patrons edit public lists?
17:35 I always thought they could.
17:35 oleonard Patrons can create their own public lists
17:35 jcamins Sorry, yes, that's what I meant.
17:35 oleonard They always could.
17:36 jcamins Yes, that's what I thought, too.
17:36 Thanks.
17:37 oleonard I regret that my patrons can create their own public lists because one of the ones they created is titled:
17:37 The Booklist of Essential Reading for the Teenager With An Extreme Interest In Fantasy Fiction, Whose Interest In Which Indicates A Lifestyle Steeped In Escapism Through Literature, With A Slight Interest Or Indifference To Religious Themes
17:37 This does not fit well in a pop-up menu.
17:38 jcamins No, I would suppose not.
17:39 rhcl liblime.info is available if anybody wants to register it
17:39 ptfs.org is available
17:40 jcamins rhcl: huh, so they are.
17:40 rhcl liblime.biz
17:41 wouldn't it be funny if all those redirected to koha-community.org?
17:43 fcapo jcamins: About the IssuingInProcess problem you talked about some time ago: will you post a bug report?
17:43 jcamins fcapo: yes, I'm just trying to confirm that I understand the bug.
17:44 slef I don't know what discussions jwagner had with Bob Birchall. Not my problem. Also, the one request for "community involvement with redesigning koha.org" I saw seemed more or less "come work on PTFS's website for free" (no ta, we made that mistake with LibLime) and definitely had responses.
17:45 fcapo jcamins: ok, cool. Our clients complained about that problem and I would love to keep a link to a Koha bug report so we know when it's fixed :P
17:46 jcamins fcapo: could you clarify for me what you think noissuecharges should do?
17:46 I want to make sure when I post a bug that I describe what it should do properly.
17:49 fcapo When a member's fines total goes over the noissuecharges limit, issues are blocked for that member.
17:49 jcamins Should it be possible to override that?
17:51 fcapo Isn't there a preference that let the librarian override issuing blocks?
17:51 jcamins fcapo: maybe.
17:51 I'll check.
17:52 fcapo There seems to be a AllowNotForLoanOverride and AllowRenewalLimitOverride...
17:52 jcamins Hm, looks like a new syspref would be needed. AllowFineOverride.
17:53 fcapo I guess... Right now the default behaviour seems to be "Show a warning and let the librarian decide if we can issue anyways"
17:54 jcamins fcapo: from my point of view, I can't think of any circumstance where librarians wouldn't need the ability to override.
17:57 fcapo jcamins: yea, but there are already preferences to allow overrides for holds (AllowHoldPolicyOverride) and some kinds of issues (AllowNotForLoanOverride and AllowRenewalLimitOverride)
18:00 I don't know if these options are needed, but they exist already and we'd need the AllowFineOverride option if we want to stay consistent...
18:00 jcamins Yeah. Blurgh.
18:00 fcapo Just my opinion, I'm not a Koah expert... yet :P
18:01 Koha*
18:01 jcamins fcapo: no, I agree with you.
18:01 oleonard I agree with fcapo
18:02 jcamins Me too, I just still don't know how to add sysprefs.
18:03 oleonard make nengard_lunch tell you how :)
18:03 rangi easy peasy

18:03 jcamins Really?
18:03 rangi then you edit updatedatabase.pl
18:03 jcamins Cool!
18:04 oleonard That ought to be on this page: http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ystem_Preferences

18:06 cait hi all
18:07 druthb hi, cait.  :)
18:07 rangi and then ill change it to a valid number when its merged into master
18:07 jcamins I see.
18:07 I guess I can probably do that, then.
18:07 :)
18:07 rangi you sure can
18:08 and if you get it wrong slightly, we can fix and tell ya, theres no harm in trying
18:08 thats the lovely thing about the way we do development
18:08 jcamins :)
18:08 rangi the barrier to submitting a patch is very very low
18:08 because it goes through checks before it is merged
18:09 nengard what am i telling who?
18:09 jcamins How to add sysprefs.

23:58 from John Yokley
23:58 " Nothing has been done with the domain names at
23:58 this point.  They do not have web sites built around them, nor do they
23:59 re-direct anywhere.  They are simply owned by LibLime, thus preventing any
23:59 moodaepo Hah I say write up notes on pointing those domains to koha-community.org and create host files and send it out to the list.
23:59 mtj non-Koha entity or competitor from acquiring the domains and diverting
23:59 moodaepo Every og hosts the info/host files so google thinks that page should also show up on koha search results
23:59 mtj potential future Koha users to other ILS solutions.  This is to the benefit
