17:48 library_systems_guy good afternoon #Koha
17:49 jcamins Hello
17:50 library_systems_guy hey jcamins, do you know much about the Koha OPAC UI
17:53 jcamins A bit.
17:53 Why?
17:55 library_systems_guy well I was wondering what the implications would be in adding more regions to the opac to allow for more dynamic customization
17:55 I would want to give it back to the community of course
17:55 if ou guys want it
17:56 but my other concern is, if it doesn't get added to future revisions how can i keep updating withough overwriting my changes
18:01 cait_afk git
18:02 git is always the answer ;)
18:02 but I would like to see more customizable regions
18:02 library_systems_guy yeah I am using git, but wont i get a conflict
18:02 cait_afk are you talking about ne places to insert text with sysprefs or more about adding unique id's
18:02 you probably will
18:02 library_systems_guy well honestly after looking at this for about 3 days i've decided i really hate the yui grid
18:03 cait_afk but you can solve it
18:03 you should talk to owen about it
18:03 library_systems_guy that is what magnus said
18:03 so i've been stalking him on here
18:03 cait_afk there is also a post on his blog about what you can do with it
18:04 library_systems_guy this is what i have done so far http://library.uttyler.edu/Koha.png
18:04 but i basically had to rewrite the masthead
18:04 cait_afk hm
18:04 to get the buttons show below?
18:05 library_systems_guy yeah that navigation bar, i'd like for that to pull from the database
18:05 cait_afk where is it now?
18:05 library_systems_guy hardcoded
18:05 cait_afk oh, you put it in the template
18:05 hm.
18:05 not sure you need to do that
18:05 hdl joined #koha
18:06 library_systems_guy where would you put it?
18:06 cait_afk you could try adding it to opacheader and move it down with css
18:06 library_systems_guy what is the file name for the opac header?
18:07 i thought that is what i was editing
18:07 but i may be confused
18:07 cait_afk not a file name
18:07 a syspref
18:07 wahanui a syspref is there
18:07 library_systems_guy ahh
18:07 cait_afk wahanui forget syspref
18:07 wahanui cait_afk: I forgot syspref
18:07 cait_afk is now known as cait
18:07 cait look here: http://library.hauraki-dc.govt.nz/
18:07 all done with css and sysprefs
18:07 I am working on a similar layout at the moment, big picture above the search navigation
18:08 I am almost there
18:08 sadly it's not available to the public yet
18:08 library_systems_guy interesting
18:08 wahanui hmmm... interesting is good
18:09 cait a lot is possible already without having to rewrite the templates
18:09 the problem is figuring it out :)
18:09 library_systems_guy exactly, it just seemed a lot easier at the time to edit the template
18:10 is the opac header setting new?
18:10 cait nope
18:10 search for head
18:10 perhaps I got it slightly wrong
18:10 library_systems_guy oh i found it
18:11 i just don't see how i missed it before
18:11 -_-
18:11 cait there is also opacnav, opacmain and credits
18:11 it's easy to miss such things
18:11 :)
18:11 library_systems_guy yeah it is, there are so many settings lol
18:11 cait yeah, but I love all of them :P
18:11 library_systems_guy yeah i can see how it can be helpful
18:11 cait http://www.library.org.nz/cgi-[…]koha/opac-main.pl is also very nice
18:12 library_systems_guy that is very nice
18:12 and you did all these?
18:13 without modifying the underlying code
18:13 cait also like this http://beckercat.wustl.edu/
18:13 no
18:13 I didn't
18:13 first 2 are catalyst, last is bywater
18:13 http://hfjs.bsz-bw.de was my first attempt :)
18:14 another is http://macromedia.bsz-bw.de
18:14 the one i am working on now is the most difficult so far, but will probably turn out best (I hope) :)
18:14 library_systems_guy hmm ok i guess ill revert the templates I edited and get it working with the settings from admin
18:14 cait not sur which libraries did the customization themselves, hard to tell
18:15 library_systems_guy and i think that custom UI goodness should be more publicized
18:15 oh i have got to run, my girlfriend wants lunch lol
18:15 cait I think some of it is in the manual
18:15 library_systems_guy thanks for the info cait
18:16 cait run :)
18:16 sure
18:16 library_systems_guy i know...she is hunrylol
18:16 cait you are welcome
18:16 library_systems_guy have a good afternoon

18:40 jcamins Ugh.
18:40 My laptop is frozen.
18:40 Again.
18:42 This is kind of unacceptable.
18:52 cait h,
18:52 hm
18:52 stick it in the microwave? ;)
18:57 jcamins cait: it might work better that way!
18:58 cait sounds like an interesting experiment
18:58 jcamins Sounds dangerous.
19:00 Argh!
19:00 My laptop is so frozen that my SSH session keeps on dying.
19:01 Freezing, rather.
19:01 cait :(
19:01 any idea what the problem is?
19:02 jcamins VirtualBox hates me.
19:02 Every time I run remove_items_from_bibs, VirtualBox crashes the graphics subsystem.
19:03 cait :(
19:03 jcamins Or possibly I/O.
19:04 With an unusual symptom of the graphics subsystem crashing hard.
19:05 cait ugh
19:09 no idea aboutthat :(
19:11 jcamins If I knew about it, do you think it would be happening every week? ;)
19:12 paul_p joined #koha
19:14 jcamins Yikes.
19:14 I think I found the problem.
19:14 remove_items_from_bibs throws a fit if you have a gazillion items attached.
19:14 Well, no, that's not the problem.
19:14 The trigger is the fit.
19:14 The problem is that VirtualBox hates me.
19:16 No, just kidding.
19:16 That doesn't trigger it.
19:16 I just *also* have the bad luck to have encountered a record that the script can't handle.
19:17 cait hm
19:17 so there is away around it?
19:17 huginn` New commit(s) needsignoff: [Bug 6343] Label Creator not working , Current Branch: NULL <http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6343>
19:18 jcamins No.
19:18 * jcamins is recommending against upgrading any systems to 3.4.
19:19 cait k
19:20 jcamins At least until someone much smarter than me gets the remove_items_from_biblios script working.
19:20 cait bug report?
19:20 jcamins Yeah, I'll file one.
19:32 hdl joined #koha
19:49 hdl left #koha
19:58 jcamins Ummmm... a 15.3MB MARCXML file?
19:59 That doesn't seem right.
19:59 * jcamins reports data corruption, and revises his bug report.
20:00 cait h
20:00 too small or too big?
20:00 jcamins Big!
20:01 To give you a sense of scale...
20:01 1700 records make a 4.5MB MARCXML file.
20:02 No, got that wrong.
20:02 1300 records in a 4.5MB file.

23:07 library_systems_guy does anybody know a way i can move the opacheader tt code down without actually moving it down in the tt code?
23:09 druthb left #koha
23:38 jcamins_away library_systems_guy: I'm not here, but you should be able to use jQuery to move the div to wherever you want.
23:48 library_systems_guy yeah that is what I just did, but its annoying to have to hack it like that
