00:02 Space_Librarian left #koha
00:02 rangi ouch, got any aloe vera?
00:02 druthb yes.  A nice thick goopy layer on my shoulders at the moment.
00:05 Agent_Dani druthb: Ouchie!
00:05 druthb yah.
00:05 Agent_Dani Remind me to slather you with my SPF 50 next time. ;)

02:25 mtj hmm, i missed it :/
02:25 just then ?
02:25 eythian wizzyrea: yeah
02:25 rangi bout 5 mins ago
02:25 eythian http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-pre[…]ocks-Christchurch <-- wizzyrea
02:25 rangi following on from one earlier today
02:26 wizzyrea urg!
02:26 eythian it made our building sway
02:26 wizzyrea !!!!
02:26 eythian keeping in mind we're about 1,000km away
02:26 (sway very slightly, but noticable)
02:26 rangi http://www.geonet.org.nz/earthquake/drums/
02:26 wizzyrea oy
02:26 wowie, no lie
02:27 chch just very very unlucky this year
02:27 * druthb sees wizzyrea and goes (!)
02:27 rangi over 6
02:27 they reckon
02:27 Space_Librarian_ Well, we felt it... that's not good at all
02:28 rangi http://www.geonet.org.nz/earth[…]ums/mqz-drum.html
02:28 shift-refresh
02:28 eythian oh, 300km, not 1,000, but still...
02:28 wizzyrea oof
02:28 rangi http://www.geonet.org.nz/earth[…]ums/wel-drum.html  <-- thats us
02:29 wizzyrea that's about as far as kansas is top to bottom
02:29 like, here to joplin (where the recent tornado was)
02:31 so in my terms - that's not very far
02:31 * ibeardslee missed the sway .. but isn't complaining
02:32 eythian 7th floor tends to sway a bit.
02:33 pauln wow i hadn't heard about the earlier ones
02:34 didnt' feel nothing here - maybe 1550km to here
02:34 druthb left #koha
02:35 ibeardslee that last was a 6
02:36 rangi and only 9km down Space_Librarian_ tells me

05:54 oakivil Hi folks! And greetings from Finland. I am doing a research on koha and evergreen and after setting up Koha 3.4, I have some questions about "component parts".
05:54 How does one add them?
05:54 How are they implemented in the database level?
05:55 eythian where do you see that?
05:55 oakivil see what?
05:55 eythian component parts
05:55 oakivil I don´t
05:55 but they are really important for Finnish libraries, especially music cataloguing
05:56 but they are really important for Finnish libraries, especially for music cataloguing
05:56 eythian what do they do?
05:56 are they perhaps the same as authorities?
05:56 liw: you're also from strange remote lands, maybe you know :)
05:56 oakivil we catalog music cd's as a main biblio, then every piece of musc is catalogued as a child biblio
05:57 eythian oh
05:57 that's new in 3.4
05:57 it's called....
05:57 hrm
05:57 ...analytics
05:57 I think
05:57 oakivil analytics?
05:57 ok
05:57 I'll google on that
05:58 eythian Yeah. It's currently only set up so that you can have records for each article within a serial, but the infrastructure is there, it should be hard to extend it to more things (and I think that that's worthwhile, it's a bit limited the way it is now. But, perhaps there's some weird MARC rules or something.)
05:58 *it shouldN'T be hard....
06:00 oakivil hmm
06:02 how about displays?
06:02 eythian displays of what?
06:02 oakivil prolly easy to change too
06:02 displays of the modified data
06:02 i mean the web page which shows a listing of music items
06:03 well it ofc needs to be made by hand
06:03 eythian Oh, no idea. It's all template driven, so if you don't like what it's doing, changing it isn't a big deal.
06:03 oakivil ok
06:04 do you have any idea how those serials are built inside the database?
06:04 and the serial subrecords? how are they connected?
06:04 well maybe ill tinker with the db
06:05 eythian off the top of my head, there's a record identifier value in the parent (MARC21 field 008 or thereabouts)
06:05 oakivil ok
06:05 i was tracing it to 7xx fields
06:05 eythian and then the child records include that value in their 7xx field, $w or similar
06:05 oakivil ah ok
06:05 eythian (I've never seriously done this, I just checked to see that it worked a few weeks ago)
06:06 oakivil i was wondering what was the connection in marc21
06:06 eythian (so I know bits about it, but not a lot of detail)
06:06 oakivil can you help me with data migration?
06:06 eythian what are you migrating from?
06:06 sometimes it's easy, sometimes it's a nightmare :)
06:06 oakivil PallasPro (a Finnish custom closed source ILS) using Ingres database
06:06 no database documentation available
06:07 :D
06:07 its a pain
06:07 uses FinMARC-format
06:07 we already got conversion rules from FinMarc to MARC21
06:07 eythian the way I do it is with some scripts I made that will take the data from a CSV-like format, and produce MARC21. But these are not particularly easy to use as I've made them for myself.
06:07 oakivil but maintaining the database relations while doing the migration is the tricky part
06:07 eythian (although you're welcome to try)
06:08 oakivil we will ues USEMARCON
06:08 with a conversion packet
06:08 but the marc data needs to be normalized so the USEMARCON can use it
06:08 eythian OK. I know nothing about that. I'm usually coming from crazy systems that have pretty limited MARC knowledge.
06:09 oakivil but mainly myu interest is that, currently i am not importing any marc data to koha, but instead just fill out the necessary biblio and biblioitems tables records
06:09 to make a testing environment
06:10 eythian ah right.
06:10 oakivil with the same keys from the original database, so i can connect those biblios im importing with existing patron and loan data
06:10 eythian there's something you can run that'll convert that to MARC, I think.
06:10 oakivil now thats grand
06:10 something i was hoping for
06:10 * eythian looks for it
06:10 oakivil anyway FinMARC data needs to be converted
06:11 eythian oh bother, I think it just did items, and now item MARC fields have been removed, I think the script has gone too.
06:11 oakivil and imported but for the time being having testing material and a testing environment to convince people around Finland that THIS is a good thing is important
06:11 ok no prop
06:12 but how does the database handle those subrecord queries?
06:12 samerrill left #koha
06:12 oakivil if they are hidden inside the marcxml field
06:12 its sooooo slow
06:12 eythian If you're handy with Perl, you might be able to use the ModBiblio functions to do it, they should create the marc appropriately
06:12 it uses zebra, which indexes them.
06:12 oakivil ok
06:13 eythian (zebra is a search engine that understands marc)
06:13 oakivil yeah i installed it and even did some research what it was about but kinda forgot :D
06:13 eythian heh
06:14 oakivil so i need to create a marcxml record which has the bare necessary fields to create subrecord links
06:14 when i add subrecords
06:15 ok
06:15 can do
06:15 eythian well, just to be awkward, I think the db stores both usmarc and marcxml.
06:15 oakivil tho it'll take days of work
06:15 yeah
06:15 but i think marcxml is easier
06:15 programmatically edited with groovy xml classes
06:15 eythian yeah, I'm just afraid it might get upset it one is missing.
06:15 *if
06:16 oakivil what might be missing?
06:16 you mean i must fill both marc fields?
06:16 eythian Possibly. I'm not sure exactly how it uses them.
06:16 oakivil ok
06:16 well we'll see
06:17 eythian yeah
06:17 it might also be that if you populate the marcxml, then you can run through with ModBiblio and have it magically tidy up each record.
06:17 oakivil ok, ill google for ModBiblio
06:18 eythian well, it's a function inside koha
06:18 so, you'd have to write a script to talk to it.
06:18 oakivil ok
06:19 at what time do people hang around here?
06:19 like its 9:24 am here
06:19 eythian it varies. I'm surprised more Europeans aren't around yet.
06:19 oakivil ok
06:19 eythian I suppose it's only 8:24 for much of it.
06:20 so perhaps in half an hour
06:20 oakivil yeah
06:20 prolly
06:20 are you from nz?
06:20 eythian yeah
06:20 oakivil so its pretty late
06:20 eythian 18:25, not too late
06:20 oakivil ok

06:51 alex_a hello #koha

07:01 sophie_m hi #koha
07:01 julian hello!
07:01 eythian hi y'all
07:01 rangi oakivil: cait is who you want to talk to about that
07:02 eythian or kf, who is the same person :)
07:02 juan-xercode_ joined #koha
07:02 rangi but you can do linking with the control number and 773 w
07:02 oakivil ok
07:02 rangi @marc 773 w
07:02 huginn rangi: Record control number  (Repeatable)
07:02 oakivil eythian pointed that out too
07:02 rangi cool
07:02 matts hello !
07:02 eythian rangi: it's wanted for music, and currently it's only set up for serials, AIUI
07:02 oakivil and it seems zebra does the indexing of marcxml
07:03 rangi eythian: works for anything
07:03 oakivil which is kewl since i was wondering how is marcxml queried efficiently as it is a mysql field
07:03 eythian I thought when we looked at it it required the marc item type header thingy to be correct.
07:03 (where "correct" is serials)
07:04 miguel left #koha
07:04 oakivil Yeah the music people here in Finalnd are dying for those component parts
07:04 eythian rangi: also, openssl is a beast from another world.
07:04 juan-xercode left #koha
07:04 rangi yep, but thats a quick xslt change
07:04 eythian I think one of these command lines is going to summon something inhuman.
07:04 Oak_ joined #koha
07:04 Oak left #koha
07:04 eythian yeah
07:05 especially as I have to repeat them multiple times...
07:05 rangi oakivil: yeah
07:05 oakivil hmm
07:05 It cant be that hard to make component parts available to other biblioitemtypes than SE?
07:05 It cant be that hard to make component parts available to other biblioitemtypes than SErials?
07:06 rangi no
07:06 change the xslt files
07:06 wahanui rangi: that doesn't look right
07:06 eythian it won't be hard
07:06 a couple of line changes
07:06 paul_p_ joined #koha
07:06 oakivil trouble is the integration with the community
07:06 i mean I can't just go and change whatever i like :D
07:06 rangi no thats no trouble either
07:07 paul_p_ hello world
07:07 rangi just send a patch
07:07 eythian personally, I don't see the point of restricting it to serials only.
07:07 rangi brb putting kids to bed
07:07 oakivil me neither
07:07 why should it even be restricted?
07:07 maybe it is optimized for serials
07:07 or it is dictated in MARC-format to be used for serials only?`
07:08 eythian no, there's no real semantic difference between serials and anything else for things like this.
07:08 oakivil ok
07:08 eythian It could be. MARC is strange.
07:08 oakivil now that we got to MARC, is there any way to alter the MARC-fields of a biblioformat?
07:08 other than by creating a new format or modifying an existing one
07:08 eythian how do you mean?
07:09 oakivil i mean straight from the cataloguing section
07:09 when one adds a biblio, can he on the fly add some marc fields
07:09 eythian ah right
07:09 oakivil you can duplicate existing fiuelds
07:09 eythian well, you'll have to create a framework that allows you to do that.
07:09 oakivil but not add new ones?
07:09 ok
07:09 so its just a boolean
07:10 eythian there's a bunch of things, but it boils down to that yeah
07:10 oakivil yeah, theres always a bunch of things. I miss the times when all I knew was java and arrays :D
07:10 Irma joined #koha
07:10 eythian heh
07:11 it's more a case that there's things like where to show, whether it's repeatable, and so forth.
07:11 oakivil ok
07:12 i like the administrative section, where you can modify so many system values
07:12 Oak_ left #koha
07:12 eythian yeah, everyone needs something different, so it all goes in there.
07:12 Oak joined #koha
07:13 miguel joined #koha
07:14 oakivil Anyone know anything about the off-line mode? or the library bus mode?
07:14 that is one of the key issues here in Finland as well
07:14 in addition to the importance of subracords
07:15 Mainly do they exists
07:15 eythian there is some form of offline mode, but I don't know anything about it.
07:17 Oak left #koha
07:41 Oak joined #koha
07:43 eythian yay, finally got apache working with a test client cert. Now to get the information from that into Koha...
07:44 rangi: you about?
07:45 rangi yep
07:45 eythian oh, I think I worked it out, nm
07:46 just trying to remember how to pass cert values into perl
07:46 rangi ahh i think i put that in the bug in bugzila
07:47 yay kristina is signing her mail now
07:47 gpg++
07:48 eythian rangi: you didn't, but that's OK :)
07:48 see also: Bug 5576 :)
07:48 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5576 enhancement, P5, ---, ian.walls, ASSIGNED , Access Koha via SSL
07:48 eythian > That's not to say that one couldn't envision scenarios where a library would want to use client certificates, but unless the library is a spooky three-letter-agency, a public-facing OPAC is not a likely use case for that.
07:49 our three letter agency isn't all that spooky :)
07:49 rangi yeah :)
07:49 4 letter one is but
07:49 eythian (it's the four letter ones we've got to worry about ;)
07:49 also, bags not setting up Koha for GCSB ;)
07:50 rangi heh
07:51 eythian SSLOptions +StdEnvVars is the magic I need I think
07:54 rangi sweet
07:55 eythian now just need to figure how to get the email address out...
07:55 bigbrovar left #koha
07:57 rangi the code in C4/Auth is set to use the cn and match that to the userid field in koha
07:57 eythian yep, I think we need to match it to the email.
07:57 though, it's hard to tell
07:57 rangi if we use the email, it will have to do something more elaborate, like match the email, then find the userid and set that
07:58 easiest thing to do do for now
07:58 get C4/Auth.pm to do a Data::Dumper of $ENV
07:58 and then see what you get :)
07:59 eythian Unfortunately, I don't know how their certs are set up in that respect.
08:00 rangi probably need to get one of them to look at the opac tomorrow
08:00 and check the log
08:00 eythian damn, with pki turned on, I have to log in for every page load.
08:00 rangi yep
08:00 eythian which I suppose makes sense
08:02 > Welcome, Mr Robin Sheat
08:02 it works with CN on my test cert :)
08:03 rangi sweet, the cn matches your username?
08:03 eythian yeah
08:03 rangi awesome
08:05 eythian oh crap, I'll lock myself out if I don't give myself super permissions...
08:06 rangi yes, you will :)
08:06 worst comes to worst, cna change your userid in the db
08:07 eythian oh, I have the apache config open
08:07 rangi and login as another user
08:08 eythian hmm
08:08 cait joined #koha
08:08 cait hi #koha
08:08 rangi hi cait
08:08 eythian I gave myself super librarian but I only have a couple of things.
08:08 and it says "Insecure" at the top
08:08 rangi hm interesting, ill have to have a look tomorrow
08:09 eythian yeah, I'm going to turn it all off now and go.
08:09 hi cait
08:09 cait another eq? :(
08:09 rangi yep
08:10 eythian Christchurch fell over again
08:10 Oak guten tag cait
08:10 eythian rangi: oddly, but helpfully, saving prefs seems to bypass the authentication.
08:13 rangi sounds like a bug
08:13 eythian yeah. I'm not going to fix it now, as it'd cause me more problems than it'd solve :)

08:33 ah
08:33 eythian: you can do component parts
08:33 reading the logs
08:33 wahanui reading the logs is not the same as participating.
08:33 cait eythian: not mark them as a serial but as 'set' - that's already in there
08:33 rangi cait: it was oakivil asking but that is good information :)
08:34 cait ah, he is still here
08:34 rangi i knew you would know the answer
08:34 cait not hard - I programmed it
08:34 we do that for multivolume things
08:34 have a set record and one for each volume
08:35 or have a record for a traced series and one for each item in the traced series
08:35 oakivil?
08:36 rangi yep that makes sense
08:38 cait not sure it makes sense - but our data is structured that way
08:38 ;)
08:39 ouch, reading back the logs I found your links :(
08:39 rangi hmmm
08:39 http://en.securitylab.ru/
08:43 cait hm?
08:43 rangi still havent heard back, and now the site appears to be down

09:12 cait hi oakivil
09:13 oakivil so
09:13 a set record you say
09:13 cait yes
09:13 oakivil you mean a framework type?
09:14 cait and the control number from 001 from the set record links to the $w
09:14 no
09:15 oakivil so you mean marc fields?
09:15 cait yes
09:15 oakivil ok
09:15 then zebra indexes them
09:15 cait you would want to have a marc framework with the needed subfields configured perhaps
09:15 oakivil yeah
09:15 cait yes, it indexes the $w fields, in the set record a link "show volumes" is shown
09:16 and when you click on it you get a list of the linked records
09:16 oakivil so if i create a framework with those fields, then zebra indexes the relations between parent and subrecord
09:16 then when in OPAC i look for a music item, it creates the item and subrecords
09:16 well I gotta try that
09:17 I'm not at the office now because IRC doesn't work there. Crappy public sector intranets
09:17 cait ah
09:18 I should really provide some documentation for that :(
09:18 oakivil having a remote work day to IRC with you guys and browse university library e-publications
09:18 yeah
09:18 i couldnt find it from the documentation
09:18 cait I have a few test records that you could load and take a look at
09:18 oakivil that would be great
09:18 cait can you pm me your email?

10:22 oakivil Koha has been in development for over 10 years right? The technologies at the very core must be ancient, like CGI-scripts. How have you managed to keep Koha modifiable as there are lots of developers working on it constantly? The trend with old systems (developed in Agile manner) is that the older they get, the harder it is to maintain the codebase.
10:23 rangi agile smagile, when koha was started that was called rapid prototyping
10:24 inline documentation, the same way you make any code maintainable
10:24 oakivil we can call it rapid prototyping if it makes you feel better :D
10:24 ok
10:25 rangi its all just fads, whatever you call it :) strict adherence to any of them is a bad idea
10:25 http://perldoc.koha-community.org/
10:25 plus unit tests

10:26 and continuous integration testing

10:29 (the linux kernel is older btw :))
10:29 oakivil damn, you've really got everything set up in a textbook manner
10:29 now that explains why I have trouble with it all the time :D

11:46 oakivil Do you have any idea where to look for documentation about setting up multi-library koha installation?
11:47 how is it done in practice?
11:47 if we had say six libraries and every one had their separate installation
11:47 they could adminster their own fines and loan dates
11:47 but how can they loan from other libraries catalogs?
11:49 jcamins oakivil: use separate branches.
11:49 oakivil hmm
11:50 julian left #koha
11:50 oakivil so then I had 6 branches running on the same server?
11:50 on the same database
11:50 and every branch could have their libraries
11:52 jcamins You have a separate branch for each library.

13:22 tcohen anyone has added 863 subfields to their serials frameworks?
13:29 mib_cait @marc 863
13:29 huginn mib_cait: [Described in full under field 863 in the MARC 21 Concise Format for Holdings Data.] (Repeatable) []
13:32 sekjal mfhd?
13:32 wahanui mfhd is MARC Format for Holdings Data
13:32 bigbrovar joined #koha
13:32 sekjal tcohen:  nothing added to the frameworks yet, but that's going to need to happen soon... especially if we want to enable MFHD importing into serials
13:34 tcohen thanks sekjal, one question on that
13:35 the structure is very similar to that in 853 right?
13:35 or which is the difference
13:36 sekjal there is one 853 for many 863s
13:36 853 defines the captions and patterns
13:36 863s are the instances of those patterns (individual serials issues)
13:37 that structure is repeated between 854/864 and 855/865 for supplementary material and indexes, respectively
13:40 tomascohen joined #koha
13:40 tomascohen sorry sekjal, internet failed here

13:45 tomascohen is this topic on an RFC? or bugzilla?

13:47 raosoma i have a question about circulation rules..
13:47 can anyone help me out?
13:47 oleonard We won't know until you ask raosoma
13:48 raosoma :-)
13:48 this is for a private circulation lib
13:48 and want to restrict users take only two books...
13:48 and one magaizne....
13:49 I was able to restrict the checkouts for two books but how to do that for periodicals..
13:49 oleonard You have to have a separate item type for periodicals
13:49 tcohen raosoma: you can set a limit for books, another for serials and a global one
13:50 raosoma Three Books Plan   Books   3  10  0.00  0  0  0  0  0  0.000000   Delete
13:51 Well let me explain...
13:51 I have defined one patron category as "3 books one magazine" plan
13:52 and defined two rules against this category...
13:52 first rule: number of books (item types) allowed as 3
13:53 2nd rule against the same category: number of continuing resources checkout allowed as 1...
13:53 is it the way to do?
13:53 mib_cait yes
13:54 but you must make sure that your periodicals and books all hve items with the correct itypes of course
13:54 raosoma and i have another patron category called three books...
13:55 and i defined a rule saying the checkouts to be allowed only 3...
13:55 and it works...
13:55 druthb left #koha
13:55 raosoma but it allows to checkout the periodicals also...
13:55 how to restrict that...
13:55 mib_cait ah
13:55 add a rule saying 0 allowed
13:55 raosoma will it work...
13:56 mib_cait it should
13:56 raosoma may be not defining will allow to checkout...
13:56 mib_cait I do it that way for our libraries
13:56 raosoma o great...
13:56 ok i will try...
13:56 and i have one more question about serials...
13:56 mib_cait not sure what happens when you don't define anything, would have to test that
13:56 raosoma ok..
13:56 mib_cait but if you also add default rules, you might get unintended results
13:57 with the 0 rule you are on the save side
13:57 raosoma ok got it..
13:57 :-) yes true...
13:57 a question about serials...
13:58 when i receive from subscription module...how to add corresponding item?
13:58 mib_cait you have to activate add items in the subscription
13:58 raosoma how to tag example a volume 4, number 5 to a particular periodical...
13:58 mib_cait you can have both - subscriptions without addings items (I think this is the default) and subscriptions adding items
13:59 raosoma or it just becomes an item of that particular biblio
13:59 mib_cait when you have it activated the item will be generated when you add the issue
13:59 yes, it's added tothe biblio of the serial
13:59 raosoma but how to map it to a particular issue or number...
14:00 example: there is a monthly magazine of volume 100, number 4 representing april..
14:00 mib_cait there is a subscription tab showing all issues and holding information for your library, it's always only one record that can have items
14:00 I am not sure I understand your question
14:00 raosoma i received vol 100, no 4...then i add item after receiving...
14:00 mib_cait if you are using the serials module the information will be in the holdings information or visible in the itmes
14:01 raosoma but i don't get a mapping of that later...
14:01 mib_cait and the item didn't show up?
14:01 mapping?
14:01 there are some bugs in serials in the current version - which version are you using?
14:02 raosoma 3.2.9
14:02 mib_cait ok
14:02 raosoma i meant creating an item for serials is like creating an item for any biblio record...
14:02 i didn
14:02 mib_cait can you explain about the mapping you expected?
14:03 raosoma ok...you have to read with patience :-)
14:03 mib_cait you can create items in the serials module too - but basically it's the same
14:03 the information about the issue is kept in an item field - serials enumeration/chronology I think
14:03 raosoma i have added one monthly subscription and it is now ready to receive...
14:03 it allows me to add item...
14:04 example i received vol 100, num 4
14:04 mib_cait when you received it, did you get a form to add an item?
14:05 raosoma it asks for it"click here to add item"
14:05 mib_cait ok
14:05 what you normally do is, change the status of the issue to 'arrived' and the form will open
14:05 you can also use the link
14:05 raosoma yes...
14:06 mib_cait and when you fill that out it should create an item attached to the record of your serial
14:06 raosoma and then i set home lib etc., give a barcode and select "continuing resources"..and create it...
14:06 am i correct?
14:07 let's assume vol 100, issue 4 has barcode MAG10004
14:07 mib_cait yes
14:07 bigbrovar left #koha
14:08 raosoma now i get another month book...and i receive it for vol 100, number 5
14:08 and i create item with another barcode MAG10005...
14:08 rhcl ping wizzyrea
14:09 raosoma if i don't follow the above way barcoding, i cannot make out which barcode is against which number...
14:09 means MAG10004 is against vol 100, number 4 or vol 100, number 5?
14:09 mib_cait momphone
14:09 raosoma sorry?
14:10 hope you got what i mean?
14:10 mib_cait not sure I really get it
14:10 and have a phone call, one moment
14:10 raosoma ok...
14:11 let me type while you answer your phone call..
14:11 there are two magazines say of apr and may...for which items are created against a subscription...
14:11 now how to differentiate the item created whether is of apr or may?

14:22 952 h
14:22 it's not kept in the barcode field, barcode is just a number
14:23 952 h - I tink it's labelled serial enumeration or chronology
14:23 it should be auto filled from your subscription
14:23 it's shown in opac detail and on the holds screen
14:23 s

14:25 raosoma 952h? nothing is autofilled while i create an item. am i missing?

14:27 mib_cait I fixed it for 3.4
14:27 raosoma ok...
14:27 tcohen sekjal: 853 defines a pattern and 863 should present subfields accordingly?
14:27 raosoma can i have patch in 3.2.9
14:28 mib_cait until it fills you can copy the information from the line above the item form
14:28 raosoma is it available?
14:28 i didn
14:28 mib_cait the patch is available - but only for a later version
14:28 raosoma i didn't understand...
14:28 mib_cait not sure it's really what you see
14:28 raosoma what to copy?
14:28 mib_cait above the item form
14:28 the line where you change to 'arrived'
14:28 sekjal tcohen:  yes, the subfields in 863 correspond to the subfields in 853
14:28 mib_cait the first field
14:29 of that line
14:29 I would copy that in the item field
14:29 so if the autofill works later, it will just work and your other items will look all the same
14:29 raosoma what to copy?
14:30 something like vol 100, num 4?
14:31 mib_cait yes
14:31 but that in the serial enumeration field
14:32 raosoma means 952h?
14:32 mib_cait yes
14:32 raosoma ok...

21:53 library_systems_guy has there been any other talks of integrating shiboleth?
21:57 rangi not that i can recall
22:03 library_systems_guy dang...i remember sekjal talking about it being a rumor
22:03 rangi wouldnt be that hard to do
22:04 library_systems_guy maybe i can start that.  I just don't really have a lot of experience with it
22:04 rangi having a crack is a good way to get experience :)
22:04 library_systems_guy thats true
22:05 so if i wanted to start coding for it...where would I start
22:05 its not a bug
22:05 rangi make a bug, but mark it enhancement
22:05 library_systems_guy but i guess i can submit features...ok :)
22:05 do i need to do a wiki for it?
22:05 rangi then look at C4/Auth/pm and C4/Auth_with_ldap.pm
22:06 library_systems_guy ahh yes i know C4/auth_with_ldap.pm well

23:51 slef mtj: yeah, I shouldn't be.
23:52 mtj: yes, 3m self-check units are most of our head-banging in that line.
23:52 samerrill joined #koha
23:52 slef rangi: I don't understand it. :)
23:53 rangi its just a count of status changed per day
23:53 mtj slef: quick Q? raw sockets or telnet connections for the self-check?
23:53 rangi so 30/11/2010 7 bugs changed status to pushed
