13:52 oleonard So how's Monday, #koha?
13:52 * druthb is dissolving Prozac into her tea, just in case.
13:53 * oleonard started the day under a tornado warning, so things have already improved.
13:54 * jwagner is wishing i were back in Florida -- 83 degrees, sunny, and a rocket launch :-)
13:58 nengard left #koha
14:01 * jcamins is wishing his sourdough would come up to room temperature so that he could shape it and get it started on its second rise.
14:07 * druthb is wishing she was closer to jcamins, since there is sourdough coming up soon
14:08 jcamins Lots of sourdough.
14:08 I figured out why I go through flour so quickly. I used 6 pounds of it yesterday.
14:08 druthb :-O
14:09 jcamins Fortunately Costco is nearby, and they sell 50# bags of bread flour.
14:14 kf so this one is alive and well?
14:15 jcamins Yes.
14:15 I cheated a bit.
14:15 schuster joined #koha
14:16 jcamins I ordered a starter from King Arthur Flour.
14:23 marcelr left #koha
14:24 kf jcamins: why is this cheating?
14:25 jcamins kf: 'cause I didn't grow it from scratch.
14:25 But it's only kind of cheating.
14:25 And the payoff (glorious sourdough bread) is totally worth it. ;)
14:25 kf :)
14:33 rhcl I see King Arthur Flour is located in Vermont. Vermont has maple syrup. But isn't Vermont sourdough kinda like New York chili?
14:33 jcamins rhcl: yeah.
14:33 rhcl I mean, for chili you go to Texas. And sourdough should be CA or maybe south/midwest
14:34 jcamins But one day soon, the local yeasts will take over, and it'll be less pitiful.
14:34 rhcl No see, I wouldn't be able to resist trying to mix it up a bit--I'd throw in some potato scrapings or something
14:34 Now see...
14:35 But then, what do I know about sourdough?
14:36 jcamins Clearly you know how tasty it is. :)
14:36 gmcharlt @later tell chris_n would you mind cherry-picking 61f6828d1230 for 3.2.x?
14:36 huginn gmcharlt: The operation succeeded.

14:50 @later tell sekjal should your patch for bug 3319 apply to 3.2.x?
14:50 huginn chris_n: The operation succeeded.
14:50 oleonard chris_n: No, the file in question doesn't exist in 3.2.x
14:50 chris_n tnx
14:50 * chris_n must remember your nick change :P
14:51 oleonard I have my eyeballs configured to alert me when someone uses my old nick.
14:51 * jcamins returns, having shaped the sourdough.
14:52 jcamins Ten loaves of bread between yesterday and today... not bad.
14:53 * druthb hunts for the $1 ticket deal on BoltBus.
14:53 wizzyrea my goodness I hope you have a big freezer
14:54 and good morning
14:54 * jcamins gave away the bread from yesterday already.
14:54 oleonard Looks like Bugzilla is down?
14:54 jcamins oleonard: just in the last few minutes, apparently.
14:54 wizzyrea: and, good morning. :)

15:13 jcamins tcohen: you can download however you prefer. I generally use wget.

15:32 jcamins Oh, now I see what's wrong.
15:33 tcohen jcamins: ?
15:33 jcamins tcohen: sorry, just talking to myself.
15:34 I just learned that variables in XSLT *are not* scoped to templates called after their declaration.

17:00 any thoughts about it?
17:00 jcamins Mmm. Cookies.
17:00 druthb Mmm.
17:00 jcamins I should make sourdough cookies.
17:00 tcohen butter cookies
17:00 druthb o.O
17:00 sourdough...cookies?
17:00 oleonard tcohen: I have another patch pending which adds the jQuery cookie plugin, so I would recommend using that as well if it suits your needs
17:01 jcamins druthb: maybe with coconut and curry, for wizzyrea? :)
17:01 tcohen of course
17:01 druthb :D
17:01 tcohen oleonard: which bug is it?
17:01 druthb doesn't sound much like a cookie....some kinda funky macaroon..

17:03 wizzyrea those are the best cookies ever
17:03 they are oatmeal, coconut, and curry
17:03 NOM
17:03 just don't (really, don't) use curry powder with garlic in it
17:03 druthb hehehe
17:03 jcamins wizzyrea: sounds like you learned that from painful experience?
17:04 wizzyrea well, honestly
17:04 I kind of liked it with the garlic
17:04 and the kiddo didn't mind them
17:04 but the hubs wouldn't touch em
17:04 druthb my daughter would consider that the rankest heresy.  She *love* garlic.
17:04 wizzyrea garlic in cookies was just not his speed
17:05 we put nuts and dried fruit in those, and they were divine breakfast cookies
17:05 lots of fiber >.>
17:06 tcohen cookies need to have SUGAR
17:07 jcamins wizzyrea: I did that once. They were *very* popular.
17:07 wizzyrea oh these did have sugar
17:07 they do

17:21 cait photos? ;)
17:22 jcamins It's still in the oven.

17:28 oleonard I need some help setting up named virtual hosts in a new system I'm setting up
17:29 The NameVirtualHost line in /etc/apache2/ports.conf should specify the IP:port I specify in koha-httpd.conf's <virtualHost> ?
17:29 Is that right?
17:29 jcamins Yes.
17:29 You can also use * instead of an IP.
17:30 oleonard NameVirtualHost * in ports.conf?
17:30 jcamins I think you can do that.
17:30 That's what I did.
17:31 oleonard Then what do I specify in the <VirtualHost> sections of koha-httpd.conf?
17:32 jenkins_koha left #koha
17:33 jcamins *
17:33 wizzyrea ServerName Your Name
17:33 jcamins <VirtualHost *> ServerName ${YOUR_URL}
17:36 oleonard Okay, so now I have in ports.conf, "NameVirtualHost *" and in koha-httpd.conf, "<VirtualHost *>
17:36 I have specified ServerName
17:37 But when I restart apache I get "VirtualHost *:80 -- mixing *ports and no-* ports with a NameVirtualHost address is not supported"
17:38 Oh, is that from the 000-default site?
17:38 jcamins Yes.
17:39 I think it is, anyway.

17:44 jcamins cait: http://photos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/h[…]786_6632498_a.jpg
17:45 oleonard Do I need "NameVirtualHost *" just in ports.conf, or in my other .conf files as well?
17:45 jcamins You should only need one, I think.
17:46 oleonard Do I need a "Listen" somewhere?
17:46 jcamins Would anyone else find it useful to be able to doubleclick on a specific patron when the search for checking out to a patron returns more than one result?
17:46 oleonard: yes, I think it should look like this:
17:46 Listen *:80
17:46 NameVirtualHosts *:80
17:47 <VirtualHost *:80>
17:47 (or change the :80 to whatever port you want)
17:47 (or drop it if you want to leave it at 80, I think)
17:49 druthb * by itself means "all ports we're listening to."  I usually use *:80, just to be specific.

18:00 rangi morning
18:00 i wonder if jenkins will complete or run out of ram again
18:00 mtj morning chris
18:01 rangi hi mtj
18:01 mtj running out of ram is a new thing, since the hudson->jenkins upgrade?
18:02 rangi nope
18:02 it has been doing it a while
18:02 * jcamins distributes pieces of virtual sourdough bread to everyone in #koha
18:02 mtj ah, old thing :)
18:02 hdl left #koha
18:03 rangi its a java thing, its what java does
18:03 eat all your ram
18:03 i think its by design :)
18:04 tcohen oleonard: NameVirtualHost *:80 in ports.conf means you're going to use name-based virtual hosts in your apache's configs
18:04 in your virtualhost definition, it will try to match the virtualhost name
18:04 you need one NameVirtualHost declaration for all your vhosts
18:05 so it is more clear to put it in ports.conf
18:05 if you put more than one apache will complain of namevirtualhosts definition collision

18:24 rangi nope, there simply isnt enough space for jenkins and bugzilla on the same small linode instance (at least now that we have more tests to run anyway)
18:26 mtj i have a linode, that could host either/or
18:26 its a little 512meg one, so it may choke too
18:27 rangi jenkins is far easier to move
18:27 ill keep that in mind mtj hopefully we get some other offers
18:28 * rangi goes to catch his bus
18:42 jcamins If a particular bib has no items that could ever be checked out by a given patron category, can a patron in that category still place a hold on the item?
18:42 JesseM joined #koha
18:43 rangi Back
18:43 That was the longest I've waited for a bus in ages
18:44 jcamins: try it and see
18:44 jcamins rangi: good plan. :)
18:45 cait jcamins: I think if you can it's  a bug
18:46 rangi Link it off the holds rewrite bug if you file one
18:48 jcamins Will do.
18:48 rangi I sent sekjal a patch for bug 5786 if you wanted to test that too that would be cool

18:49 * chris_n 's todo list looks like a write-only stack :-P

18:50 cait chris_n: I have one of those too :(

18:54 jwagner ...says the person who was dressed for the weather....
18:55 tcohen oleonard, r u ther?
18:55 oleonard Yes
18:55 tcohen do u think is ok to set a cookie name marcdocs_borrowernumber true or false?
18:56 so there can be several cookies set for different users
18:56 on the same browser
18:57 $.cookie("marcdocs_<!-- TMPL_VAR NAME="borrowernumber" -->",false, { path: "/", expires: 0 });
18:57 rangi Does it need borrowernumber?
18:57 I guess if its a machine lots of people use
18:57 tcohen each catalogur wants so see/don't see marc doc links
18:58 cait yeah, but are they all working on the same machine?
18:58 tcohen perhaps, one in the morning one in the evening
18:58 ??
18:59 if exposing in such a way the borrowernumbers is a problem for security...
18:59 rangi Id have sep users for the machine, but yeah I guess some libraries might let people share logins
19:00 tcohen what do u think of possible security issues?
19:00 I think is harmless
19:00 rangi It does make the checking more complex
19:01 tcohen checking?
19:01 oleonard Right, how does the script know the borrowernumber of the logged in user?
19:02 tcohen $template->param(borrowernumber => $loggedinuser);
19:02 rangi The other cookies like language pref, login etc aren't tied to a borrowernumber serverside
19:02 tcohen (in addbiblio.pl)
19:03 rangi Sorry clientside
19:04 My stop bbiab
19:04 tcohen I think is better to do it by borrowernumber
19:04 perhaps for every setting
19:05 but for this submission I can be more conservative and stick with the current approach
19:06 oleonard?
19:06 wahanui1 i guess oleonard is the master UI designer of koha
19:06 oleonard tcohen: I guess I could go either way.
19:07 tcohen alright, i'll leave it per-borrower
19:07 perhaps someone will patch it later if found not appropriate
19:07 thanks
19:07 nengard i need help tracking down a bug report - one i thought was fixed (but might not be)
19:07 searching for subjects that have parens in them - does that work or doesn't it?
19:08 tcohen i don't see any drawbacks
19:08 nengard and does anyone know what bug number that was?
19:08 oleonard Bug 5693 was a recent one
19:08 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5693 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, if parentheses used in ccode then searches against ccode fail
19:08 oleonard but that's very specific
19:09 nengard bug 2702
19:09 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=2702 major, P3, ---, gmcharlt, RESOLVED MOVED, Subjects with Parens Causing Issues
19:09 nengard i found it - but what does moved mean? and is it still an issue?
19:09 oleonard Bug 1807
19:09 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=1807 blocker, P3, ---, chris, ASSIGNED, ':' character blocks search ; search () give odd results
19:10 oleonard "C4/Search.pm needs a total rewrite and is on the cards for 3.4"
19:10 Promises, promises, rangi ;)
19:11 rangi i never promised to write it
19:11 * rangi looks at gmcharlt :)
19:12 * gmcharlt still has a month :)
19:12 Ahmuck left #koha
19:12 jwagner Speaking of searching, where would I look to try to exclude (for example) leading French articles Le, La, Les L' from alphabetical sorts?
19:12 cait what about postgres?
19:12 only asking because I got a list of questions today - library asking for future safe database
19:12 rangi that wont happen for 3.4
19:12 cait ok
19:12 rangi unless someone does it
19:13 im still hoping to get DBIx::Class::Schema in
19:13 then we are a big step closer, its just fixing all the .sql files (and any mysqlisms in the code)
19:14 future safe is the wrong reason to leave mysql
19:14 its as safe as any db is
19:14 and has many drop in replacements
19:14 cait ok
19:14 rangi which makes it safer than oracle, or sybase
19:15 cait I was wondering where the question came from
19:15 rangi moving from it because oracle are mental is the reason
19:15 cait not sure what they are using now
19:15 mtj ha, thats not saying much, chris :)
19:16 rangi i mean its no less future safe than access, or ms sql
19:16 but its not a true free software project, so thats why im keen to move
19:16 you may have noticed a trend in my thinking :-)
19:17 mtj *nod*
19:17 *nod*
19:17 * gmcharlt checks to see if rms is wearing a rangi mask
19:17 rangi hehe
19:17 actually i strive to emulate bradley kuhn
19:17 i have a long long way to go
19:18 to be a good a man as he is
19:18 i probably need to learn to spell first
19:18 jcamins Does OpacAddMastheadLibraryPulldown actually do anything?
19:19 tcohen left #koha
19:19 mtj pushing for a postgres port, means that the mysql-isms get removed from Koha too, which is another win
19:19 jcamins Ah, found it.
19:19 oleonard This is probably old news to everyone else, but I just read this and found it worthwhile: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/[…]es-the-point.html
19:20 rangi it is a good read eh oleonard
19:22 oleonard It helps put some things in context for me, and understand how "open source" can be a slippery slope
19:24 Alright, installation question:
19:25 Are there circumstances under which the "sudo -u <kohauser> zebraserv..." command is going to work without permissions errors?
19:26 Or do I get those because I'm doing a dev install?
19:27 cait jcamins: should put a library pull down next to the search in opac
19:28 the simple search, not the advanced search
19:29 oleonard I'm looking at INSTALL.debian step 6.1.1
19:29 jcamins cait: yeah, eventually I tracked it down. Kind of.
19:29 How do I set checkouts allowed to "unlimited"?
19:29 cait no way
19:29 oh
19:29 sorry, leave it empty
19:30 you can't set maxreserves to unlimited, I was confusing those too for a moment
19:31 indradg left #koha
19:32 cait leaving the reserves empty means null, leaving checkouts empty means unlimitied (afaik)
19:32 oleonard consistency++
19:33 cait I hear you
19:40 rhcl firebird, firebird, firebird
19:40 http://www.firebirdsql.org/
19:41 oleonard The database I would have never heard of if Mozilla hadn't tried to name a browser the same thing.
19:42 rhcl Firebird is a really great database because they have the prettiest web site of any db.
19:43 rangi heh
19:43 * oleonard does a spit take
19:45 bencahill lol
19:45 * gmcharlt blinks, then bills rhcl for some ocular bleach
19:48 * jcamins remembers abruptly why he decided to do all his development in Template::Toolkit.
19:49 rangi yeah, sometime this week, im moving all the tt work into a branch on git.koha-community.org
19:49 and i will be asking for serious testing
19:49 the more testing you do
19:49 the less master will be broken when i merge it
19:49 let that be a warning to you all! :-)
19:50 oleonard I was hoping "the more testing you do" was going to be followed by "the more cookies you'll get"
19:50 * oleonard wherein Koha QA testing peaks at 11AM each day
19:51 rangi ill make you a deal
19:52 a bug found, with a patch to fix it, will get you a cookie
19:52 im expecting little things like a variable in the wrong scope
19:54 druthb_away is now known as druthb
19:54 cait cookies?
19:54 * druthb perks.
19:54 druthb cookies?
19:56 * cait looks around searching for cookies
19:56 * druthb suggests GeoIP location on jcamins address, to find cookies.
19:57 cait hehe

20:21 SharonNEKLS Hi all.  Is there an updated version of these tables somewhere? http://www.kohadocs.org/usersguide/apa.html
20:22 wizzyrea is out of the office, or I'd just ask her ;-)
20:22 cait what are you looking for?
20:23 SharonNEKLS table names and field names to help write reports.
20:23 jcamins My cat says he likes that appendix. There is not an updated one for Koha 3.2+, I don't think.
20:23 SharonNEKLS That link is to Koha 2.2 documentation
20:23 K - we've been using that one for 2 years, suppose we can keep on using it
20:24 cait there is something done by cilea i think
20:24 it was on the old wiki
20:24 database documentation

20:26 SharonNEKLS Thank you - we'll bookmark...

20:27 oleonard_ joined #koha
20:28 SharonNEKLS From Mickey: nicole's is good thank you. that is what i needed.
20:28 * oleonard_ gets chatzilla working on Debian finally
20:28 cait good night all
20:28 oleonard_ left #koha
20:29 cait left #koha
20:33 * oleonard discovers a new bug. Yay.
20:34 nengard you're welcome Mickey and Sharon :)
20:34 oleonard 1. Do a search in the staff client. 2. Click on an author link in your search results. 3. Re-sort the results of that search.
20:34 davi left #koha
20:35 SharonNEKLS Oops
20:35 Spits me to the Advanced Search page
20:35 rangi i thought that was fixed
20:35 or it might have just been fixed for subjects
20:36 its the link from the author is wrong
20:37 works in the opac eh?
20:38 oleonard Yes
20:38 rangi opac does
20:38 q=au:author
20:38 lemme find out what staff does
20:39 oleonard search.pl?q=au:<!-- TMPL_VAR NAME="author" ESCAPE="URL" -->
20:39 rangi the same
20:41 i bet if you change it to idx=au&q=author
20:41 oleonard It's the hidden input that's different
20:41 In the opac, ccl=au:Smiley, Jane
20:41 rangi right
20:41 oleonard in the staff client au:Smiley, Jane.
20:42 rangi i still think the link should be like this
20:42 http://librarian.opus.koha.cat[…].pl?idx=au&q=test
20:42 not ccl anything
20:42 that link is sortable, and facetable
20:43 ie clicking on the facets actually works
20:43 vs
20:45 http://librarian.opus.koha.cat[…]cl=au:institution
20:45 click on a facet there
20:45 doesnt do anything
20:45 http://librarian.opus.koha.cat[…]=au&q=institution
20:45 click on one there
20:45 and it actually works
20:46 so i reckon the templte should be changed to not do ccl but just have a hidden input idx = au
20:46 sorry no hidden inputs
20:46 just a href of the for idx=au&q=authors name
20:47 collum left #koha
20:47 * rangi wonders if he is making any sense at all
20:48 oleonard I tried search.pl?idx=au&amp;q=<!-- TMPL_VAR NAME="author" ESCAPE="URL" --> without success
20:49 jcamins Does "HomeOrHoldingBranchReturn" ring any bells with anyone?
20:49 rangi what about just a & instead of &ampl
20:49 amp; even
20:49 * rangi doesnt think browswers interpret html in a url (i could be wrong tho)
20:51 oleonard Actually, did my edit take?
20:51 * oleonard checks again
20:51 magnus_away left #koha
20:52 rangi id try it with just an & too
20:52 SharonNEKLS jcamins we couldn't find it searching sysprefs, but it was crucial to getting our test install to behave correctly.
20:53 * oleonard should have known it was his own error when evidence suggested rangi was wrong :P
20:53 jcamins SharonNEKLS: hm. Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one who couldn't find that syspref. What happened when it wasn't in your system?
20:54 oleonard Your suggested change was correct rangi
20:54 SharonNEKLS we didn't get the "please return to" prompt to let folks know when to send books back to their homebranch for re-shelving.
20:54 rangi yay!
20:54 SharonNEKLS It's stored under "local use"
20:55 jcamins Ah-ha.
20:55 Thank you!
20:55 SharonNEKLS np
20:56 rangi http://www.trademe.co.nz/Home-[…]ion-357989041.htm

20:56 SharonNEKLS lol
20:57 oleonard That is an awesome rock.

21:11 SharonNEKLS rangi - do System logins for SIP connections have to be Staff accounts or can they be plain-jane adult accounts?
21:12 rangi pass
21:13 SharonNEKLS damn
21:15 We will email our helpful new support vendor...
21:17 nengard :)
21:17 jwagner left #koha
21:18 nengard left #koha
21:21 rhcl the SIP connections have to have admin accounts
21:22 SharonNEKLS We will leave those as Staff, but we are taking all 'staff people' and making them regular adult patrons, so they can be guarnators and change their own passwords.
21:23 rhcl ? not sure I understand. Staff members can change their passwords certainly.
21:24 SharonNEKLS Not in our current set up.
21:24 rhcl Well, you need a new setup. :)
21:24 SharonNEKLS that's the plan
21:25 oleonard left #koha
21:26 rhcl In the olden days some libraries had framed art and even, like sculptures for checkout. Does Koha have any functionality for that?
21:26 jcamins rhcl: You can catalog realia with MARC.
21:26 And you can certainly check out realia... that's how they did registration at KohaCon.
21:33 fcapo left #koha
21:41 rhcl I should catalog my collection of wildlife art.
21:47 jcamins Sounds like a good idea to me.
21:50 francharb left #koha
21:52 * jcamins is biased, being a cataloger.
21:55 * druthb heard of a library school where one of your cataloging exercises was to catalog yourself.  Friend of mine put his parents in 780s, his child in 785, and "God" in 100.
21:58 gmcharlt what did he put in the 310?
21:58 druthb @marc 310
21:58 huginn druthb: The current stated publication frequency of either an item or an update to an item. Dates are included when the beginning date of the current frequency is not the same as the beginning date of publication. These data are related to coded data in field 008/18 (Frequency) and 008/19 (Regularity). [a,b,6,8]
21:58 druthb lol
21:59 * gmcharlt wonders what theory of soul is implied by using title changes to represent relationships between parents and children ;)
