00:50 rangi am i imagining things, or is there a syspref that controls whethere you search your own branch first in the opac?
00:52 shelley isn't it set library?
00:53 bg I don't think you are imagining this rangi - I remember that

12:26 nengard got a quick git question (as usual) - if I fix some things in a patch I'm signing off on do I just git add the file before i commit again? and if I do does it include my name on my changes?
12:27 or should it be a follow up patch instead?
12:33 nengard left #koha
12:41 * magnuse thinks it would be good if the answer to nengard's question could be added here: http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]gn_off_on_patches
12:48 kf nengard: see your mail on the list - do you know the version when list display changes? I think it's not available in 3.2.2, perhaps master?

13:30 oleonard kf, did you see my reply to the mailing list question about lists?
13:33 The lists interface revision is already in master, but it's only mimicking search results, not using the same mechanism for display
13:34 kf ah
13:34 but master?
13:34 ok :) that explains it then, we are on 3.2.2 - thx oleonard
13:34 magnuse oleonard: thanks for that clarification - i was really loosing my confidence trying to figure out when the list display started using XSLT ;-)
13:34 kf and it looks really nice
13:35 oleonard I wish we could display arbitrary lists of biblios according to XSLT rules and re-use that display in lists, carts, reading records, checkouts etc.
13:37 kf: The revision has been pushed to 3.2.x as well
13:40 magnuse some time between 3.2.2 and 3.2.5, apparently...
13:45 kf oleonard: I will wait then and keep an eye on it.
13:46 oleonard it's my day to compare master and 3.2.x I guess. I can't reproduce bug 5829 in master
13:46 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5829 blocker, P5, ---, oleonard, NEW, Unable to select a calendar if there is only one branch
13:48 sekjal anyone recall a problem in 3.0.x where you can't add new patrons?  Just gives you a "this patron does not exist" message, and a URL with borrowernumber=0
13:48 I recall this being something to do with database structure...
13:48 oleonard sekjal: That sounds like a bug we had just after our recent upgrade
13:49 jcamins said our borrowers table lacked a primary key
13:50 sekjal looking at the table structure, it's got a primary key, but everytime I do a show indexes from borrowers, the cardinality changes wildly
13:50 druthb joined #koha
13:55 oleonard sekjal: jcamins also found that our database had a duplicate record (same borrowernumber in each)
13:55 sekjal interesting.... looking for that now
13:57 * oleonard can't reproduce Bug 5829 in 3.2.x either
13:57 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5829 blocker, P5, ---, oleonard, NEW, Unable to select a calendar if there is only one branch
13:58 kf I updated calendars in 3.2.2 recently - saw not problems there
13:58 there is no default calendar, only one for each branch - looks ok to me

15:30 i didn't remember that bug
15:30 :-D
15:31 I think the patch is in koha-patches
15:31 i'll attach it
15:31 oleonard tcohen: I couldn't find it when I searched the patches list
15:31 tcohen ok
15:32 i'll search for that in my workstation
15:44 druthb wizzyrea++ #again; she is a cornucopia of Good Ideas this morning
15:44 wizzyrea *blush*
15:47 oleonard Well, she's certainly keeping them to herself!
15:47 wizzyrea well we were talking about the fact that in certain configurations
15:47 a home library only reserve, if checked into a branch that isn't it's home, would fill holds for the library it's checked in at
15:48 (wrong behavior, it should always go home to be circ'd at home)
15:49 my idea was to add to CircControl and HomeOrHolding branch, a new preference for "ReserveControl"
15:49 so that you could make reserves follow their own rules for circ.
15:50 druthb has a much better idea of how that could work I think but she's busy with a _very important go-live_
15:51 * druthb perks up, hearing her name, then goes back to cranking on this _very important go-live_, and the other two _very important go-lives_ for this weekend.  :)
15:52 * wizzyrea revises... several _very important go-lives_
15:52 rhcl all in KS, I would presume?
15:53 wizzyrea druthb++
15:53 no, actually.
15:53 druthb ;-)  I've got the other two taped...easy peasy.    No, actually, rhcl, they're scattered all over.
15:53 They're all in Central time for once, though.
15:57 tcohen I made changes in my master checkout that I want to forget
15:57 (mistake)
15:58 how do I revert them? i.e. reset to HEAD
15:58 ?
15:58 oleonard git reset --hard origin
15:59 * tcohen thanks oleonard
16:02 oleonard What exactly does "cleaning" a batch of staged records do?
16:03 sekjal oleonard: removes them from the staging area of the database
16:04 after cleaning, you can no longer revert the import
16:05 oleonard What is the benefit of doing so?
16:06 And once a batch is cleaned, why should it continue to appear in the list under 'Manage Staged MARC Records?'
16:07 sekjal reduce the size of the database, and indicate to catalogers that the batch is considered good, solid and fully part of the collection
16:07 as to why it remains in the list, I'm not sure
16:07 tcohen oleonard: if I use git am ../file.patch
16:07 the only thing I can do is send a follow-up?
16:08 (i messed up things with my branches)
16:08 oleonard I don't understand the question tcohen
16:09 tcohen i deleted my branch for bug X
16:09 y downloaded the patch I sent
16:09 rhcl Interesting, especially the very end > http://www.cnn.com/2011/TECH/m[…]azon.free.kindle/
16:09 tcohen created again a branch for bug X
16:09 then applied the patch with git am
16:10 but git diff doesn't show the changes from patch
16:10 * druthb goes back to Silent Running.
16:10 druthb left #koha
16:10 oleonard git diff origin?
16:10 tcohen u r right!
16:11 and format-patch will create a complete patch, not a follow-up from the original, right?
16:11 thanks
16:11 oleonard git format-patch origin

16:32 rhcl Is there no preference in Koha that would, in OPAC search results, say something like "buy this book", and link to Google Editions or Amazon or whatever?
16:32 linking to e
16:32 Books, specifically
16:33 conan left #koha
16:33 sekjal in search results list?
16:33 only way I can see is an 856 field
16:33 rhcl well, for any OPAC search results
16:33 sekjal you'd need to know the full URL
16:34 you could do it from the OPAC detail page with the SearchForTitleIn system preference
16:34 rhcl Well yea, it would require specific cooperation from the company (Google). I think sometimes I think too theoretically.
16:34 sekjal assuming your target takes URLs with title, author, or ISBN in them
16:35 rhcl wonder if Google would pay commissions?
16:35 sekjal maybe
16:37 gmcharlt rhcl: one variant of B&T's enhanced content supports that, with a portion of the proceeds going back to the library
16:38 downside, of course, is that it's tied to just the one vendor
16:39 cait left #koha
16:40 gmcharlt and I suspect that if you are using Amazon cover images, they actually would prefer or *require* you to link back to their website to let a patron purchase the book
16:42 oleonard This could be a function similar to the "search for this title in..." feature on the detail page
16:43 ...but if you were sending the user to a search on the other site I'm not sure if it would carry the referrer in such a way that the library would get its cut
16:43 It may depend on the bookseller.
16:49 fredericd oleonard: About OPAC virtual shelf page, and your discussion on koha list. Do you know if there is a bug describing such an enhancement? (XSL on Lists page)
16:49 oleonard I don't know
16:50 fredericd ok
16:50 oleonard If anyone were to undertake it, I would repeat my suggestion that we create a way to handle any arbitrary set of results (or bib numbers) with the same display mechanism
16:50 ...not knowing, of course, whether that is actually possible :)
16:53 fredericd thats doens't seem simple at all since there is an intermixing of data coming from XSL transformation and data created from elsewhere (images, actions, select boxes)
16:59 oleonard fredericd: Not if you limit the XSL data to the same scope as that on the results page
16:59 biblio data, item data, some action links (place hold, add to cart)
17:02 gmcharlt oleonard: if you give me a list of things on on the XSLT-generated search results that you wouldn't want included in the Lists view, I can code your moar general XSLTifier pretty easily
17:02 fredericd Bug 5830
17:02 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5830 enhancement, P5, ---, frederic, NEW, Using XSLT on OPAC Lists page
17:04 oleonard gmcharlt: I think the only difference is that where the search results say "save to lists" the lists page says "Save to another list"

18:11 briceSanc no, i'm trying to understand how the syspref 'itemcallnumber' works on koha

18:53 oleonard I thought someone was working on that recently, but I'm not sure who

21:30 briceSanc is there a way to copy items into an another biblio with Koha ?
21:30 gmcharlt briceSanc: copy or move?
21:30 briceSanc copy
21:31 and move could be good too
21:31 :)
21:31 gmcharlt move you can do directly in 3.2
21:31 go to a bib, choose Edit | Attach Item, then scan/enter the barcode of the item to move to that bib
21:32 briceSanc ok good
21:32 and if i want to copy ?
21:33 gmcharlt can't do, at least in one fell swoop
21:33 best you can do is to duplicate items on one bib, then move to the target bib
21:34 briceSanc hummm good idea
21:34 gmcharlt and they won't be exact copies; the barcodes necessarily will have to be different in the copies
21:34 briceSanc of course
21:35 i there a way to move a batch of items ?
21:41 or do i need to do it one by one ?
