01:47 Space_Librarian silly question: does anybody know if there is a report out that has collated the number of libraries adopting open source ILS's by country for comparison?
01:52 druthb not that I know of, Space_Librarian.
01:53 * Space_Librarian sees a paper in the making.
01:53 Space_Librarian Thta's a shame, it would have come in handy for the abstract I'm writing. Thanks Ruth. :)
01:53 that's*
02:43 rangi Space_Librarian: its mostly because no one knows
02:44 hence
02:46 the bug that i cant find, to allow for people to report they are using koha from their about page
02:48 http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]he_Koha_community
02:54 wizzy_home oo that's a good idea
02:54 rangi yup
02:54 its on my 'when i get time' list
02:55 so someone needs to do it before 2028
02:55 :)
02:55 its not actually much to do really
02:59 wizzy_home are you thinking of a thing that gives them some form fields, a dump of the about page data, and registers that data somewhere or just a link to a place for ppl to register?
03:00 rangi the former
03:00 wahanui it has been said that the former is correct - i.e., you can change it, but then must run batchRebuildBiblioTables.pl
03:00 wizzy_home forget the form
03:00 forget the former
03:00 wahanui wizzy_home: I forgot former
03:00 rangi so you click on 'register me' it prefils a form and you add/subtract from it and hit save, and it hits some webservice that saves the info in a db
03:01 wizzy_home right
03:12 rangi the spidering im less interested in, though that would be cool, mainly just a nice way for people if they want to show up in the list of koha users, to be able to do it

10:30 druthb good morning, #koha. :)
10:30 rangi morning druthb
10:31 druthb :D
10:32 msun Could anyone say  in koha  "how to add keywords of a  book"
10:33 rangi msun: koha searching doesnt use keywords
10:34 but if you want to store some, you could put them in one of the note fields (one of the 5xx fields in marc21)
10:34 druthb: are you on the code4lib list?
10:35 druthb not at the moment, rangi; am I misisng something epic?
10:36 rangi naw, just elsevier trying to get people to code for free on their 'open' platform under the guise of a competition
10:40 druthb lol.
10:41 That's like SirsiDynix talking about their "open" API, which you have to pay thousands of dollars to have access too--you can share code freely with others who have paid the thousands, so that makes it "open," you see.
10:42 rangi yeah, exactly like that :)
10:50 msun rangi: I had put keywords in 504 field in marc21. But I cant search out the book using these keywords.
10:50 kf_away hm probably 6xx fields are better
10:50 your keywords are about the topic of the book?
10:52 there is a field for uncontrolled subjects in 6xx...try 653
10:52 msun: when you are using zebra you have to make sure your records get reindexed by rebuild_zebra run as a cronjob
10:54 msun kf_away: ok i will check it

12:04 francharb joined #koha
12:05 francharb hi all
12:06 kf_away hi francharb :)
12:11 conan I got these settings on mysqld:
12:11 pastebot "conan" at 190.220.130.20 pasted "problem with encoding" (12 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/40
12:12 conan I go to Home › Administration › Patron Categories and define a category with a word with accent
12:13 Then I go to home > patrons and chose the deployable menu to create a new user
12:13 kf_away have you seen the mysql thing on the wiki?
12:13 conan and the accented word shows wrong
12:14 I check the encoding for the page, and it's utf8
12:14 change it to force it to iso88591 and then deployable menu shows right, but the rest of the page doesn't
12:14 wahanui conan: that doesn't look right
12:14 wahanui left #koha
12:14 wahanui joined #koha
12:14 conan so I think, there must saved it with wrong encoding on DB
12:15 so I do a dump of the particular table and file reports it's utf8
12:15 (!)
12:16 So to summarize: everything it's set for utf8, I'm not dealing with imported data, I'm creating it, the saved character set is utf8, but somehow when it's shown in the deployable menu, it gets wrong
12:16 kf_away: nope, but I'll look at it now...
12:17 oleonard joined #koha
12:17 conan Hum... I think I don't got the apache bit, let's see...
12:21 nope, no luck
12:21 it seems this deployable menu is bewitched

12:24 the website works though
12:25 jcamins That sounds like DNS.
12:25 wizzyrea_away its working for me

12:26 oleonard git fetch is working for me
12:26 wizzyrea_away git.koha-community.org.3600INA174.143.233.17 is what dig tels me
12:26 jcamins It's working fine for me.
12:27 * jcamins blames Comcast on nengard's behalf
12:27 wizzyrea_away ^^
12:28 nengard jcamins i wouldn't be caught dead using comcast
12:28 dropped them years ago cause they suck

14:10 rhcl OH GUYS! This is really really important!
14:10 did gmcharlt break the news?
14:10 wizzyrea ?
14:10 gmcharlt ?
14:11 wizzyrea if it's that important perhaps he should do it :P
14:11 kf_away ?
14:11 rhcl well, he's had time by now.
14:11 wizzyrea uh uh not fair
14:11 * wizzyrea covers her eyes
14:11 * kf_away hides behind wizzyrea
14:12 * wizzyrea firmly believes that any news should come from the source, on their timeline
14:12 wizzyrea :P
14:13 rhcl Heck, it's open and published and everybody in my library is passing around the email notification.
14:13 gmcharlt Poplar Bluff?
14:14 rhcl MOBIUS has contracted with Equinox to assist with the installation and migration of Evergreen and will provide training for MOBIUS staff to fully host and manage the Evergreen system.
14:15 I would see this as a harbinger of things to come.
14:20 gmcharlt ah, yes
14:20 we're pretty excited
14:20 rhcl http://mobiusconsortium.org/
14:21 I'd see this as a big foot in the door.
14:24 hi druthb et al
14:25 wizzyrea template_toolkit++
14:26 much easier to understand imo.
14:28 kf_away someone using serials?
14:28 I need help
14:29 I have a year that is supposed to rollover every 6 issues, and the issues are counted without rollover, starting at 215 in january
14:29 oh
14:29 and every 2 months a new issue
14:30 my years are not rolling over when I try to do that :(
14:33 wizzyrea grats we're doing it right (mostly) :) http://www.codesimplicity.com/[…]unity-simplified/
14:35 nengard I'm having a dense moment
14:35 where do I add my preso to the slideshare group?
14:35 nengard not dense
14:35 it's not straightforward
14:36 wizzyrea oh good :)
14:36 nengard on your presentation there is a link to 'more' in the top right
14:36 click that
14:36 and you can choose to send to a group
14:36 it will show you the groups you belong to
14:36 wizzyrea Ohhhhh no, that is in no way straightforward
14:36 kf_away nengard: do you perhaps know how to do that subscription pattern in koha?
14:36 it's driving me insane :(
14:37 nengard kf_away i have a sample i think in the manual - but yeah it's so darn hard that's why i asked on list for examples to include in the manual
14:38 hdl nengard: Is MFHD more readable as of subscription pattern ?
14:38 kf_away but you think it shoudl be possible?
14:38 the years changing but the issue number going up?
14:38 nengard http://koha-community.org/docu[…]ual-en/?ch=a14927
14:38 hdl kf that should be.
14:39 nengard hdl, i've never been a serials cataloger, so I don't know about MFHD either :(
14:39 I was a monograph cataloger only
14:39 wizzyrea slideshare?
14:39 wahanui slideshare is at http://www.slideshare.net/group/koha-ils
14:40 hdl nengard: my experience is that MFHD is a nightmare and not only to read but also to implement.
14:41 gmcharlt forutnately, there's quite a bit of code in Evergreen for handling MFHDs that is general enough to turn into a generic Perl module

14:52 kf_away nengard: doesn't work for me :(
14:52 nengard the sample serial doesn't work?
14:53 kf_away the sample serial works, but when I try to make it use my numbers I fail
14:53 my subscription starts 2011
14:53 year
14:53 nengard :(
14:53 kf_away and issue 215
14:53 nengard we need a serials expert to give me a ton of samples!!
14:54 kf_away I take it back
14:54 the example doesn't work too
14:55 the years are right, but the issues start again after six instead of going on forever
14:57 margo joined #koha
14:58 margo good morning, all
14:58 kf_away hi margo
14:58 nengard: do you have an idea who I could ask about it?
14:58 margo does anyone know the status of partial payments?
14:59 wizzyrea i know the accounts rewrite is underway
14:59 and that it includes that
14:59 margo i saw that, is it absurd to ask when it might be ready?
14:59 julian left #koha
14:59 wizzyrea not absurd :)
14:59 margo my circ person is anxious
15:00 we go live in august
15:00 wizzyrea we may want to ask later today, as that's when the folks working on it will pop in
15:00 margo okay, i think it's too early, too
15:00 druthb Hi, margo! :D
15:00 margo hey ruth!
15:00 nengard can back up what margo is saying ... her circ person is very concerned
15:00 kf_away :( no clue
15:00 margo thanks, nengard
15:01 * kf_away nick
15:01 wizzyrea my institution is pretty anxious for that one too
15:01 hdl kf_away: tell mee what you need. Will try to send you what you need.
15:01 nengard i have been trying for years to get some help on serials documentation - no luck
15:01 wizzyrea so you're not alone :)
15:01 nengard hdl++
15:01 kf_away when you get that from hdl share the screenshots with me :) and I'll publish them
15:01 margo i'm glad i'm not alone :) here in the basement by myself
15:01 wizzyrea (though we discovered that it was less important than we initially thought it might be)
15:02 (but it sure would be "nice to have")
15:02 margo wizzyrea, what do you mean "less important"?
15:02 wizzyrea < live on koha for 3 years without it, and it's just in the "nice to have" column
15:02 not in the "omg must have it or else" column
15:02 margo so, no so much demand from patrons to partially pay?
15:02 wizzyrea apparently no
15:02 or they just work around it using credits
15:02 hdl nengard: sorry about that.
15:03 margo maybe i'll ask circ how much they really use it now...
15:03 wizzyrea i don't doubt that they use it
15:03 and that they use it often
15:03 because they likely do
15:04 for us it wasn't a superhugeomg problem.
15:05 margo ok, thanks :)
15:05 kf_away hdl: great!

15:08 wizzyrea margo: I just talked to one of my coworkers here, they work around it using manual credits, so that's an avenue that may be available to you
15:08 if the dev isn't done by your go-live
15:09 please feel free to contact me if you need more info, I can give you the name of someone to contact at that library
15:09 nengard margo, that's how i showed it in training - the manual credit route
15:09 margo wizzyrea: thanks, i appreciate it
15:09 matts is now known as matts_away
15:10 margo nengard, now that you mention it i remember
15:10 nengard i could do a tutorial video on that if you think it will be helpful
15:10 matts_away is now known as matts
15:10 nengard margo there was so much crying that i think most people missed the fact that i gave you a way around it for now
15:10 margo maybe, she's going to train her new workers later in the summer, we'll see where we are in awhile
15:10 lol, :(
15:11 i think there was a lot missed, and i'm still not being spoken to, although i've gotten three emails this morning
15:12 nengard, since you're here...she's looking at the desciption of charges on the patron fine page and when she goes to print only the name and accoutn number of the patron show up--not the charges
15:12 * druthb boggles a little bit at "not being spoken to."
15:13 nengard print will only print the circ info - not the fine info
15:13 so if the patron didn't check anything out today that's why the slip doesn't have anything on it
15:13 margo druthb, but you've met her
15:13 nengard to print fines, there is a link next to each fine line for printing
15:13 let me find that part of the manual for you
15:14 http://manual.koha-community.o[…].html#patronfines
15:14 margo nengard, well, now that you point it out, i see the "print" link
15:14 druthb yah, margo, and it still seems so out-of-character; she was always just so darn awesome to me, Before.
15:14 nengard there is a bug report on this topic - that you can only print one line at a time
15:14 i can find that too
15:14 margo i'm obviously too sleepy to be working today

15:49 nengard wizzyrea i agree!!
15:49 wizzyrea ^.^
15:49 nengard annoying to have to update a bug report multiple times
15:50 wizzyrea it lets you take assignment there...
15:50 * wizzyrea mutters
15:51 nengard it does? I missed that (will look for it next time i attach)
15:52 wizzyrea it's at the very bottom of the form
15:54 nengard wizzyrea - how can i force an attach to fail?
15:54 just use a wrong barcode?
15:54 testing your patch now
15:54 wizzyrea yep

16:50 indradg does changing the dateformat clear away the holiday calendar entries?
16:51 nengard, ^
16:51 oleonard Changing the dateformat system preference will not remove calendar entries
16:51 indradg oleonard, hmmm....
16:51 nengard i don't think so
16:53 indradg oleonard, how is the sorting happening for the holiday list table? the date sorting is totally wrong (asc string style sort) when using dd/mm/yyyy (which is the default in india)
16:55 wizzyrea ok, I have a problem that I need input on
16:56 oleonard indradg: If you file a bug I'll work on a fix
16:58 wizzyrea http://screencast.com/t/uGu7M1vIA8
17:01 oleonard wizzyrea: It would certainly be better to have it do an interactive merge with the found record
17:02 indradg oleonard, it appears to be an outstanding issue from Nov 2009 - http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3806

17:06 just saw
17:06 wizzyrea it's not even that so much as it's not clear what exactly it's doing
17:07 and the button looks identical to the others, I think people would expect similar functionality
17:07 not even that I think so... I've seen it in action
17:07 oleonard indradg: There is a standard way of handling that kind of date sorting so hopefully it'll be easy to fix

17:12 * jcamins suggests "Awesome!"
17:12 wizzyrea lol
17:12 :)
17:12 indradg ok! dumb question time... where exactly is category_type & its values A / C / S etc stored / defined?
17:12 jcamins Actually, I think we need one of those on every page.
17:12 wizzyrea it automatically sends an email to the list "Koha has delighted me today, thanks for your effort"
17:13 "love, <name of library catalog>
17:13 "
17:13 do note the lack of a "this sucks" button :P
17:14 indradg: I don't believe they're editable, I *think* those are hard coded -- so it's probably somewhere in C4
17:15 indradg wizzyrea, you be right - lib/C4/Category.pm:=head3 $category->category_type

18:48 oleonard Should 005 be updated whenever a MARC record is edited?
18:48 rangi there was a patch to do just that
18:49 oleonard I was just noticing that the field in the editor updates if you click in it and wondered if it should do so without user interaction.
18:49 magnus_away is now known as magnuse
18:49 oleonard So it's happening in the background now either way?

18:52 hdl oleonard: are you talking about authorities ?
18:52 oleonard hdl: No, regular biblios
18:53 The onsubmit validation routine should probably trigger that auto-population js so that the user doesn't get a warning in case that field is empty

19:11 * cait agrees
19:14 oleonard Is that a zebra issue?
19:15 rangi highly unlikely
19:15 most likely zebra is doing exactly what we tell it to do
19:15 and we are telling it do dumb things
19:15 * oleonard shakes his fist at obedient zebra
19:16 jcamins oleonard: having looked at Search.pm, and record.abs, I think probably it's a stupid issue.
19:16 rangi that seems to be the root of most of the search issues
19:16 * rangi goes to make breakfast bbiab
19:19 cait jcamins: run
19:20 you are in danger - someone will suggest rewriting Search.pm soon ;)
19:20 jcamins cait: what, again?
19:21 cait hm?
19:21 jcamins cait: someone's going to suggest it again?
19:21 cait yep, but youmight get volunteered
19:21 :)
19:25 rhcl anybody have any comments on using a local server vs. a distributed database for something like a public access control system?
19:25 jcamins A what?
19:25 oleonard Define distributed database?
19:25 jcamins And public access control system.

19:30 hdl But this is just mentioning a workaround. And a deep bug we have been struggling with for some time... before deciding to just switch to solr.
19:30 jcamins hdl: yes, but you just saved me spending hours only to have the Availability limit still be useful.
19:31 hdl jcamins: if you knew how hard we tried and how many things we tried...
19:32 jcamins hdl: just think how many things I now know *not* to try.
19:33 adnc joined #koha
19:33 magnuse sharing++
19:33 hdl there is one solution we have not tried... Adding some new inner subfield which would record 0 1 that would define availability... ... But then again, availability needs to be defined.
19:34 You could take a look at the Search::Plugin::Availability.pm we did for solr.
19:34 as a first step
19:34 jcamins Hm.
19:35 Pity this isn't easier.
19:35 Incidentally...
19:35 DOM++ # I could do this with DOM

20:05 hdl well i saw some problems with that.
20:06 RPG = Role Playing Games .... ahhh nostlagy D&D
20:07 rhcl well, I was thinking Report Program Generator :)
20:08 which is right-justified, and as I understand it, Hindi is written right-to-left. But probably best to disregard, just my casual thoughts of little importance.  :)

20:10 rangi sorry?
20:11 sessions and cookies
20:11 hdl rangi: you told me that you had used Plack for circulation.
20:11 rangi yes
20:11 I didn't change anything
20:11 just ngnix in front
20:12 passing requests to either plack or apache
20:12 same cookies/sessions shared by both
20:12 hdl I am testing that on the catalogue part. and apache is loosing the authentication.
20:13 rangi hmm I didn't run into that
20:13 how are u storing sessions?
20:13 jcamins cait++
20:14 cait magnuse++
20:14 rangi mysql?
20:14 wahanui i think mysql is currently limited to 100MB of RAM.
20:14 cait for being very patient
20:14 hdl no special storing for sessions.
20:14 rangi right but mysql or memcached eh?
20:14 magnuse cait++ # for sharing
20:14 rangi not temp files?
20:14 hdl no.
20:15 rangi and the cookie is being set in the browser?
20:15 hdl That could be the problem.
20:15 Yes.
20:15 oleonard left #koha
20:16 rangi if temp files could be permissions
20:16 id switch to memcached if you are running 3.4
20:16 much faster anyway
20:16 hdl but the cookie is lost.
20:16 rangi or mysql if not
20:16 ahhh
20:17 so something is deleting the cookie? hmm
20:17 hdl ok. I wanted to know how you did.
20:17 rangi not at my computer at the mo, but I certainly dont remember running into this, weird
20:17 hdl You did something differet.

20:36 rangi if you give me a few mins ill try to reformat it into a git patch
20:36 cait :)
20:36 rangi: thx!
20:37 rangi note the word try :)
20:37 cait I promised the author to test it along time ago :( and I hope I can perhaps make it work
20:38 rangi heres how im going to do it, i will check out an old version of koha, from about sept 2010
20:39 try to apply the patch
20:39 cait I tried to apply it to a new branch, but it told me unknown format
20:39 rangi commit it, try to cherry pick to master, fix the tmpl to tt and make a patch
20:39 you can use git am
20:39 but patch
20:39 cait Patch format detection failed.
20:40 rangi patch -p1 < filename
20:40 or p0
20:40 thats what i am going to attempt anyway :)
20:40 cait git patch -p1 < filename?
20:40 rangi no
20:41 no git
20:41 its not a git patch, but a standard unix patch file
20:41 (it wont apply on master, its out of date)
20:42 do you want me to note here exactly what i am trying?
20:43 magnuse we could put it on the wiki if it works...
20:43 hdl left #koha
20:45 rangi so heres what i did
20:45 git checkout `git rev-list -n 1 --before="2010-09-29" master`
20:45 that gets me the first commit before that day
20:46 im in detached mode, so any changes i make will be lost
20:46 but thats ok, i can check out a real branch if it works
20:46 cait sorry, was brushing my teeth - back and reading now
20:46 detached mode?
20:47 rangi ive not on a branch, i just checked out a single point in time, but didnt make a branch
20:47 i do that when im doing things that im not sure will work
20:47 patch faild

20:49 still fail
20:49 so now im wondering .. was it on 3.0.x branch
20:49 trying that
20:50 no joy there either
20:51 cait oh :(

20:51 i have discovered the problem
20:51 /intranet/cgi-bin/acqui/basketgroup.pl
20:51 duh
20:51 cait it should be at lest 3.2 because we didn't have basketgroups before that
20:51 rangi the paths are all wrong
20:52 the path was generated from out of the installed tree
20:52 right, will checkout master from that date

21:35 cait is it really bad or only at the wrong place?
21:36 rangi wrong place, but i wouldnt fail the patch on that, because it is just following the trend set by the rest of the script
21:37 i think letter.pl will need some work though
21:37 rhcl SIP anybody? A SIP query contains a field like "6300120110509", which is "6300" + a DTG (date time group). What is the 6300? Just a field/packet header?
21:37 Space_Librarian joined #koha
21:37 Space_Librarian morning #koha :)
21:38 rangi not sure it needs the SQLfieldname ifs at all
21:38 or if its just missing a my @SQLfieldname
21:38 cait I was wondering about that
21:39 but it seems he only added one more to a bunch of constructs like these
21:39 rangi hmm no he added them all
21:39 actually its not used
21:40 cait the my line fixed it
21:40 rangi http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]hment.cgi?id=4067
21:40 jcamins Good night, #koha
21:40 jcamins is now known as jcamins_away
21:40 rangi yeah it will, but they arent actually used
21:40 so we could just take them out
21:40 ie it sets @SQLfieldname
21:40 but then does nothing with it
21:41 cait ah
21:41 so I will kill i
21:41 t
21:41 rangi yeah
21:41 if you look at the bottom of that patch
21:41 cait http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]hment.cgi?id=2653
21:42 there I only see the orders part
21:42 rangi yep, he added it to a thing that has since been removed, so that was the conflict
21:42 cait makes sense
21:43 rangi so id take them out, since they arent being used by anything
21:43 cait I see galen's commit did it
21:50 ok, fixed it (I hope) - notice is added, now going to order something :)
21:50 rangi :)

22:15 eythian cool points to anyone who knows the reference (without searching)
22:19 I guess no one is cool enough for cool points...

22:23 gross
22:23 eythian quite
22:40 cait rangi: seems it didn't work because I can't send mails directly - I made it go into message_queue now to see how the mails look like
22:40 rangi: I think it still needs some tweaking, but perhaps I can figure it out :)
22:41 ok, I have an entry in my message queue - time to sleep
22:43 rhcl is now known as rhcl_away
