00:16 rangi heya druthb
00:18 druthb hi, rangi! :)
00:19 rangi did you feel the earthquake whereever you are?
00:20 druthb I heard some folk here did, but I did not.
00:23 Agent_Dani We had that - I felt it while at work and my wife, who was at home some 15 miles closer to the epicenter, didn't.
00:24 Apparently there was a pretty big aftershock just now.
00:26 mtj random linux Q... ext4 or ext3 for prod file-systems?
00:27 any prefs?
00:27 druthb I've never used ext4.
00:27 I've used ext3 and...hm...xfs, I think?
00:28 rangi dont know enough to have an opinion
00:29 ibeardslee we use ext4 for anything new .. although a couple of xfs for special cases
00:29 mtj ok, i might stick with ext3
00:31 nah, i'll give ext4 a go - its a personal dev box, after all

02:00 eythian is it just me, or is there no appreciable difference between acquisitions-history-search.inc and acquisitions-search.inc?
02:01 rangi havent looked
02:01 i will tho
02:02 nope looks very similair even with a diff
02:02 eythian cool
02:03 in that case, I'm removing the history one and making everything use the regular one.
02:03 rangi sounds good to me

07:47 cait :)
07:47 rangi typing to fast
07:47 cait lots of tweets from the conference
07:48 rangi oh i stopped after a while i couldnt keep up with the other people tweeting :)
07:50 magnuse i thought most people there was tweeting on paper? ;-)
07:50 s/was/were/
07:52 cait hehe
07:52 rangi yep, but there were 2 that were really prolific
07:53 magnuse ah
07:54 i like the rss idea!
07:54 and the next step would be to make koha read email, right? ;-) (only kidding, the rss is interesing)
08:11 cait oh, the earthquake is on the news
08:24 rangi i think badges, plus the rss feeds things could be combined into your 'public' page
08:25 magnuse so everyone can see the stuff in your feeds?
08:25 rangi everything private by default, but you can decide what you want to make public
08:25 magnuse ah yes

08:34 magnuse Oak
08:35 Oak just ~4 months to go and there will be another year. how time flies! hm.
08:36 weird.
08:36 magnuse too true!
08:36 * Oak goes into deep thought mode
08:37 magnuse but why measure time in years when you can measure it in koha releases? ;-)
08:37 Oak aha, yes...
08:38 cait hehe

11:04 magnuse \o
11:04 4?
11:04 * druthb grumbles at her fumbly fingers.
11:04 magnuse hehe
11:04 druthb hi, magnuse.  :)
11:04 magnuse hiya druthb
11:05 * druthb waves to Oak, too.
11:06 Oak druthb !!
11:06 how are ye?
11:07 druthb doing pretty well.  It's been a busy few days, but I'm healthy and mostly-happy, so I'll call it a win.
11:07 magnuse yay
11:09 Oak good good :)
11:09 go easy on the work though. we hear you work too much ...
11:09 druthb I had an amazing meditation last night over a small piece of crystalline bismuth that someone very special to me gave me recently.    stared at this little thing for a half-hour or so, then spent a solid hour on the cushion mulling over some things.  That's very refreshing for me.
11:10 I do work a lot, Oak....but who's been telling tales?    :P
11:12 Oak oh cool. this is good. meditation... i want to start... i think i need it too.
11:13 :)
11:14 magnuse wanders off to meditate on some lunch ;-)
11:15 Oak what do you have in mind magnuse ? for lunch?
11:20 druthb Meditation is very good for the mind and body, Oak, and it doesn't have to be anything fancy...just sit still someplace comfortable, and stare into a candle, and focus on the flame--that's how I got started.
11:22 Oak hmm. sounds good. i'll definitely try it. i am sure it helps ...
11:24 druthb don't worry about how *long* you can do it...don't set a timer, or even a goal time...just sit until you can no longer concentrate, for any reason, then get up.   There's not much "right" and "wrong" when it comes to meditation; try not to judge how well you are doing it--except by how much better you feel afterward.
11:33 Brooke joined #koha
11:34 Brooke kia ora
11:34 Oak hmm... well, I think when I'll sit, I won't be able to concentrate in the start... then after some effort, I'll begin... :)
11:34 oh hae Brooke :)
11:34 druthb hi, Brooke! :)
11:35 Brooke howdy :)
11:35 druthb Oak:  that's the idea.  even if all you can do the first time is a minute, or five minutes, it's worth the time you spend just sitting.  The benefits quickly start to add up.
11:36 Oak I better try it then :)
11:38 druthb If a candle is not handy, some people repeat to themselves (unhurriedly) a favorite short poem, or scripture from their faith tradition.  That works, too.

11:52 Brooke hey nengard :)

11:52 hello

11:53 hdl Good Morning America.
11:54 Hi Amit_Gupta
11:55 nengard aww shucks! thanks, just not sure how i'd get them to you and pick them up
11:56 Brooke he'd run. He'd totally find me despite never being in my neighbourhood.
11:57 it would be better than the Incredible Journey ;)
11:58 jcamins_away Is Beau the one on Ritalin?
11:59 Brooke he's the cute one. That's all that matters.

12:18 kyle424 Hey all, I'm getting this error from zebra: koha-zebra-ctl.koha: failed to write(client_errfd = 6): File too large
12:19 I'm guessing I'm running into the default 4-gig limit, but I can't figure out what I need to do to increase the limit, any ideas?

12:23 NateC hi cait :)
12:25 Brooke read that too fast as Asoka XD
12:25 * Brooke has India on the brain.
12:25 magnuse kyle424: you can edit the limit in zebra-biblios.cfg
12:25 kyle424: on a normal install that should be /etc/koha/zebradb/zebra-biblios.cfg i think
12:26 but what version? the limit has been 20G since a while back
12:26 (early april to be precise)
12:32 kyle424 Maybe that isn't the problem then.
12:32 The lines starting with shadow and register both end with 20G
12:33 the filesystem shows plenty of available space.
12:35 jcamins_away kyle424: what file system are you using?
12:35 magnuse kyle424: and how many records are you indexing?
12:38 JesseM joined #koha
12:44 kyle424 It appears to have been an ownership issue, but now I've got a different problem. When I check out an item, Koha then says I have no items for that record on the search results page. A full reindex will make them show up as checked out.
12:46 I think it's still the same problem. All the files in /var/lib/zebradb/biblios/register are owned by root, and I think that's causing the problem. I re-owned them to koha, and it appeared to work, but now they are owned by root again.
12:46 jcamins_away You have your cron jobs set up wrong.
12:47 They need to run as koha.
12:48 kyle424 I'm using the zebraqueue daemon. Both the zebraqueue daemon and the zebra daemon appear to be running as koha.
12:49 jcamins_away Oh, and never, _ever_ use the zebraqueue daemon.
12:49 It's buggy.
12:49 kyle424 I didn't know that was considered a bad practice. Does it have problems?
12:50 jcamins_away Yes.
12:50 It leaks memory and doesn't work.
12:50 The documentation says not to use zebraqueue.
12:50 kyle424 Thanks for the info, I'll set up the cronjob instead.
12:50 jcamins_away Good idea. :)
12:50 Okay, time to start the morning with a trip to the gym. TTYL, all.
12:51 kyle424 Thanks for the help jcamins and magnuse
12:52 cait did jcamins_away just say gym?
12:52 kyle424 indeed, something I need to start doing.

13:19 oleonard kyle907, I see you've leveled up ;)
13:23 hdl: Is Bug 3067 still valid?
13:23 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3067 major, PATCH-Sent, ---, henridamien, ASSIGNED , When using getRecords on commandline, facets makes it fail.
13:23 New commit(s) needsignoff: [Bug 6694] Anonymous sessions not kept when casAuthentication is on <http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6694>
13:26 hdl oleonard: don't know.
13:26 I think so
13:27 unless facets don't use branches any longer
13:27 Or GetBranches has been rewritten
13:27 oleonard If so, it needs to be updated to reference master and possibly have the patch updated as well
13:29 sekjal for CircAutoComplete, how many results should be shown, maximum, for any partial search?
13:30 hdl oleonard: seems that the edit was already merged into facets work
13:30 So not valid any longer
13:30 oleonard thanks for checking hdl
13:30 sekjal: Is this part of your work on a unified patron search?
13:31 hdl sekjal: if you ask a librarian, he may answer 10 or 25 or all...
13:31 sekjal oleonard:  no, it's tangential
13:31 hdl so ... :X
13:31 cait circautocmplete - the thing that suggests patrons?
13:31 sekjal we're finding that on databases with very large numbers of patrons, CircAutoComplete will bog a system down
13:31 oleonard sekjal: Does it not limit by default now?
13:31 sekjal looking at the SQL in circ/ysearch.pl, it's pretty clear why: it's unlimited
13:32 I believe the interface layer limits... I'm seeing a MaxCacheEntries value of 60
13:32 hdl maybe could take the patronperpage limit by default
13:33 oleonard But the results should indicate to the user that they are incomplete
13:34 (ideally)
13:34 Not that I've heard complaints about that aspect of it
13:37 sekjal if the interface is already limiting to 60 at a time, then I think the SQL should do the same
13:38 most of the time, I think people are typing 2-5 letters anyway before looking at the hits list, so those first couple queries are just wasted CPU cycles
13:38 oleonard I'm only seeing 10 results
13:39 By the way sekjal, in my work on integrating jQueryUI I have the autocomplete configured to not start searching until the query reaches 3 letters
13:40 magnuse sounds sensible
13:41 sekjal oleonard:  that sounds awesome.  start at 3, and limit to 10 or 25 (or even 60) in the SQL will significantly reduce the impact on databases with hundreds of thousands of patron records
13:41 oleonard The changes I refer to are client-side only. It's a configuration of the jquery autocomplete widget
13:42 So a script-side fix would complement it
13:42 fredericd current autocompletion system uses YUI which is deprecated in Koha, isn't it?
13:42 oleonard Not deprecated yet. Not until the jQuery UI stuff is ready
13:42 fredericd and yes, a SQL search without LIMIT is insane with large borrowers table
13:42 aaagirl joined #koha
13:42 oleonard fredericd: We're still waiting on an official release of the jQueryUI menu widget to replace the YUI one
13:43 sekjal okay ,adding the limit to the circ/ysearch.pl SQL is a simple one-liner.  Just need to file the bug report, and pick a number.
13:43 if the interface is only showing 10 at a time, then that would seem like a good choice
13:43 fredericd oleonard: ok, I understand (and favor this replacement since YUI begin to show its age)
13:43 cait hi fredericd
13:44 :)
13:44 fredericd cait: hi
13:44 wahanui hello, fredericd
13:44 magnuse since paul_p is not here: why not make the limit a syspref? ;-)
13:44 oleonard YUI seems to be another casualty of Yahoo's habit of eventual neglect
13:45 magnuse: As hdl points out, we already have PatronsPerPage
13:45 fredericd magnuse: it would be a transient syspref
13:46 cait hehe
13:46 * magnuse was mostly kidding ;-)

15:05 magnus_afk wizzyrea++
15:06 is there a way for patrons to return books, other than scanning barcodes in the sco client? i think not, but might have missed something...
15:06 wizzyrea no I don't think so
15:06 that would be considered "dangerous" in lots of libraries
15:06 oleonard magnus_afk: Like by crossing their hearts and swearing they did? :P
15:06 magnuse oleonard: yeah, something like that
15:07 i have a pretty "relaxed" school asking about it
15:08 i'll just tell them they have to scan barcodes

15:24 magnuse or try using the PPA set up by the current Release Manager: https://launchpad.net/~koha/+archive/ppa (i'm not sure how experimental that is...)

15:27 oleonard Sure wizzyrea, anything in particular?
15:27 wizzyrea yes, actually
15:27 test the 3 part name search
15:27 and check to see if the library/category limiting works
15:28 lastnode|laptop magnuse: yeah that links to this guide
15:29 wizzyrea and finally check to make sure that searching on extended attributes still works
15:30 davi wizzyrea?
15:30 wahanui wizzyrea is probably amazing!
15:31 wizzyrea davi, had you addressed the legal concerns that were raised about your website, on the list or otherwise?

15:52 wizzyrea So the very least you can do is be respectful of my time.
15:52 davi ten just not listed even disagreeing the rules voted at last meeting
15:52 then*
15:53 I respect you, I am just a bit suspicous after all this delay!
15:54 Please, let me know anything at anytime
15:54 later
15:57 lastnode|laptop douchebag foss user
15:57 comes into channel of software maintained by volunteers
15:58 demands things
15:58 with smiley :) faces
15:58 nengard thanks oleonard
15:59 wizzyrea lastnode|laptop: well I wasn't going to go that far >.>
16:00 oleonard No point in lowering the tone all around
16:01 davi back
16:03 wizzyrea: Sorry if I look nervous
16:03 We are short of customers now
16:07 oleonard davi: Do you not have the original email thread where you first requested to be listed?
16:07 davi yes, I have it
16:07 I have read it several times
16:07 oleonard Why not post a new response there?
16:07 davi and all fit with the agreed in the last Koha meeting
16:07 If needed I will
16:08 but as wizzyrea , who already know all the subject, is already working in the listing of leals.com I think it will not needed
16:08 15:46 < wizzyrea> I am actually currently putting off other things to work on your listing.
16:09 oleonard wizzyrea does not make the decision by herself. Since an objection was made, the decision should now get some consensus
16:09 davi A meetin was set in place with a point to discuss the subject
16:09 so it was discussed even in a meeting
16:09 the last one
16:10 oleonard It looks to me like there's not a problem, let's get others' opinions
16:10 lastnode|laptop koha tells me the following modules are missing http://pastebin.com/1TN5shay
16:10 do i need to get them via cpan?
16:10 davi I know wizzyrea does not take the decission her self
16:10 cait hm
16:10 hm, have you checked the logs for the meeting?
16:10 davi yes, I have read the logs
16:10 cait lastnode which os are you using?
16:10 davi and the wiki page
16:10 wahanui hmmm... the wiki page is broken again.
16:11 cait forget using
16:11 using is <reply>
16:11 lastnode|laptop cait: ubuntu, and i think i figured out why. sec.
16:11 cait ah
16:11 ah, I think you can install all modules with apt-get in ubuntu
16:11 no need to use cpan
16:11 you can even use the packages from debian.koha-community.org
16:12 and it will install all dependencies
16:13 lastnode|laptop yeah i think im about done, cait
16:14 * lastnode|laptop w00ts
16:14 cait ok
16:14 :)
16:14 got to the web installer?
16:14 lastnode|laptop installed and finished
16:14 yay
16:14 to clarify, zebra is just for search indexing right?
16:14 to backup library data, i juts need to backup the mysql db?
16:15 magnuse lastnode|laptop: yes
16:16 cait yes
16:16 if you don't make local changes you want to keep too, the database is enough
16:16 I think you could also backup the zebra index to avoid reindexing
16:17 lastnode|laptop thank you. can someone also tell me if this setup makes sense from a design POV? the school im working at has limited Internet access, so I'm thinking a LAN install of koha that rsyncs to a remote install daily
16:17 oleonard davi, I'm surprised you didn't email a follow-up query to the list immediately after that IRC meeting.  I would recommend doing it now
16:17 lastnode|laptop that way the LAN db would always be up to date, and the remote db (for staff to check from home, for example) would nearly always be up to date
16:17 we only have 3000 books atm
16:17 but im thinking ahead
16:17 im terribly sorry if that is a dumb question in any way
16:18 as ive mentioned here before, im an English teacher, not a programmer/sysadmin
16:19 davi I did not want to press to wizzyrea
16:20 oleonard: ^
16:20 reiveune bye
16:20 reiveune left #koha
16:20 cait hm
16:20 don't think it's a dumb question
16:21 davi Thanks wizzyrea: Could you use <br /> at to break the paragraphs?
16:22 lastnode|laptop cait: since im not a sysadmin, i did look at koha hosting
16:23 but i think it's outside our budget
16:23 my main concenr is, if somethinghappens, data has gotta be recoverable/exportable
16:24 davi wizzyrea: Also, at join lines, some ones have lost the space. For example: "focuson" instead of "focus on"
16:30 aarkerio joined #koha
16:31 lastnode|laptop once i run rebuild_zebra.pl
16:31 books should start to show up in teh catalog right
16:32 cait joined #koha
16:32 oleonard lastnode|laptop: Assuming you did the little dance, and are wearing the special hat.
16:32 lastnode|laptop im wearing a hat, but nobody told me about the dance
16:32 doc team needs to get on it imo
16:32 cait what did I miss?
16:32 * cait looks confused
16:32 * oleonard 's experiences getting zebra to work may not be universal
16:33 * cait sends oleonard cookies
16:33 * oleonard would so gobble up cookies
16:34 oleonard I would suggest we do a snack exchange on #koha but I fear my country has nothing anyone else would want
16:34 rhcl_away poor cait, so confused. Your missed the zebra dance that lnl and oleonard were discussing.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk_9zqt1Rw4
16:35 cait oleonard: can't be that bad
16:35 I heard jcamins produces very yummy cookies in your country :)
16:36 lastnode|laptop is there a post-install guide someone can link me to maybe?
16:36 cait rhcl_away: thx for the link - but can't watch that from here :(
16:36 lastnode|laptop googling has not helped :(
16:36 cait lastnode: what's the problem?
16:36 wahanui i guess the problem is its human beings doing it
16:36 * oleonard loves that one
16:36 cait wahanui botsnack cookie
16:36 wahanui :)
16:36 cait me too
16:36 oleonard lastnode|laptop: Have you checked the searching faq?
16:37 searching faq?
16:37 wahanui searching faq is at http://koha-community.org/docu[…]on/faq/searching/
16:37 cait search faq?
16:37 wahanui rumour has it search faq is at http://koha-community.org/docu[…]on/faq/searching/
16:37 cait hehe
16:37 lastnode: I lost connection (on a train) what is the zebra doing?
16:37 or not doing
16:37 rhcl_away ah, you just gotta see it...
16:38 But it's particularly appropriate to the discussion about zebra and dancing above.
16:39 cait rhcl_away: I can't - would have to leave germany to see it
16:39 rhcl_away say what? Youtube banned there?
16:39 cait rhcl_away: blocked for copyrights
16:39 not youtube, but some videos don't work
16:40 rhcl_away sigh. OK, use tor.  But the vid is just some guy in with a zebra head mask doing a silly dance.
16:40 * oleonard likes that we're the first hit on Google for 'Global bug squashing day'
16:42 rhcl and rangi is 7 on the list
16:43 cait :)
16:43 lastnode|laptop ok wonderful
16:43 thank you all very much
16:43 i am off to bed but will be back to pick your brains as i get ready to pitch this to the school administration
16:43 what a truly awesome application you guys have going here :)
16:43 good day, friends!
16:47 cait :)
16:47 good night
16:58 davi I remember to everybody you are invited to join leals.com as _owners_. See http://www.leals.com/partners
16:58 later
17:02 cait oleonard: checked="checked"?
17:02 sorry, only looking at a template right now and wondeirng if checked should be checked="checked" to be correct xhtml
17:02 oleonard Yes
17:02 <input type="checkbox" checked /> is invalid
17:03 cait <input type="checkbox" name="removeItem" />
17:03 <input type="checkbox" name="removeItem" checked="checked" />
17:04 oleonard Those are correct
17:06 cait thx :)
17:07 I am working on the big translation bug
17:07 lots of template changes
17:09 oleonard cait: I had not idea we had so many places that were still wrong
17:10 cait still invalid xhtml or directives in html?
17:10 I think the test will help that now
17:10 not the xhtml, but the directives
17:10 jenkins will start to whine everyt time a new one is added, but first we have to fix them all to make him happy again :)
17:10 if you want to sign-off on some I would be happy, trying to make no mistakes, but easy to miss something
17:12 oleonard I mean I had no idea there were still so many places in the templates where that incorrect template syntax was used (template directives inside tags)
17:12 cait ah
17:12 I think they kept creeping back in
17:12 it seems a smart thing to do
17:12 only it's not
17:13 oleonard The trouble is we all like efficiency too darn much
17:14 magnuse hehe
17:15 cait :)
17:15 thxfor the mail magnuse :)
17:15 magnuse your welcome
17:15 http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]Coding_Guidelines might need an update?
17:17 slef yes, that needs quite a few
17:39 lds joined #koha
17:57 cait oleonard: does this make sense to you?
17:58 <div name="[% year.year %]" id="[% year.year %]" style="position:absolute; visibility:hidden; margin-top:0px; border:4px;" [% IF ( year.first ) %]style="visibility:visible"[% END %]>
17:58 never heard of visibility, but having it hidden and visible seems strange
18:00 oleonard display:none is usually what is used. Where's that from?
18:00 aarkerio hi!
18:00 opac-tmpl/prog/en/modules/opac-main.tmpl  change to
18:00 opac-tmpl/prog/en/modules/opac-main.tt ?
18:01 magnuse aarkerio: yes, the templating system changed to Template Toolkit with version 3.4
18:01 cait serial-issues-full.tt
18:01 line 46
18:02 aarkerio I am following   http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_as_a_CMS
18:03 oleonard cait: I wouldn't worry about it unless you can find a problem with how it works currently
18:03 cait hm
18:03 magnuse aarkerio: yeah, that page needs an update
18:03 cait what I did was make it an if else construction
18:03 and moved the style inside the other
18:03 so only visibilty:hidden for the if
18:04 and visibility hidden for the else
18:04 oleonard cait: What process are you using the find these errors?
18:04 cait there is a test
18:04 xt/tt_valid
18:04 magnuse oleonard: clairvoyance!
18:05 oleonard cait: How is it run?
18:05 cait perl xt/tt_valid...
18:07 oleonard And that's all?
18:10 cait yep
18:10 it gives you the lines and files
18:10 I am doing it by modules now
18:10 oleonard I get "Can't stat ./koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/prog/en: No such file or directory at tt_valid.t line 45"
18:10 cait started at the beginning, but skipped some in the middle
18:11 hm
18:11 where did you run ti?
18:11 from the kohaclone directory?
18:11 oleonard No, but it seems to like that better. Got results.
18:11 cait ah cool
18:12 if you could sign-off on some it would be cool too
18:12 oleonard Sure
18:12 cait rangi started but I had made some mistakes... updated the patches and trying to notmake them again :)
18:13 some have really a lot of errors :(
18:14 not so surprising that one of them is memberentry
18:14 it's bad for translation anyway
18:14 lot's of strings puzzled together
18:16 * oleonard can't log into self checkout
18:19 francharb left #koha
18:24 aarkerio mmm, somebody knows a way to add a page to OPAC?
18:24 I want create just and HTML form
18:26 magnuse have fun #koha
18:28 cait joined #koha
18:28 cait rebooting, will be back
18:28 cait left #koha
18:32 aarkerio how you debug Koha?
18:32 I mean in PHP you can do something like   die(var_dump($myArray));
18:33 to see what is in $myArray
18:33 how can I do that in koha?
18:34 sekjal joined #koha
18:34 sekjal left #koha
18:35 aarkerio or even better, how can I see Perl erros messages?
18:35 Apache log?
18:40 cait joined #koha
18:40 cait back
18:40 oleonard aarkerio: Koha error log. There should be one for the staff client and one for the OPAC
18:41 chris_n can someone confirm that a "Category Code" limited search in cgi-bin/koha/patroncards/members-search.pl does *not* work?
18:41 cait hm
18:41 guessing here
18:41 chris_n in current master, that is
18:41 cait but I notiyed a while back it wants the code instead of the description
18:41 could this be a possible reason?
18:42 chris_n well, it does not work here with the code
18:42 * chris_n has a fix, but just wants to be sure he is not seeing bug ghosts
18:42 cait hm
18:42 chris_n or ghost bugs or some sort
18:42 cait give me a minute
18:42 oleonard It doesn't work for me chris_n. Does your fix add a category drop-down?
18:43 cait ah owen was faster
18:43 * cait has no mouse and is a bit slow today
18:43 chris_n oleonard: no, it just fixes the broken search code on the back end
18:43 which would not work even if it had a drop-down
18:43 cait a drop down would be nice
18:43 oleonard Ah, wait, let me check one more thing
18:43 chris_n check using an actual code
18:44 observe case
18:44 oleonard That was my problem. It's case-sensitive. With the proper case it works.
18:45 chris_n ok
18:46 * chris_n hates localized bugs >:-(
18:47 oleonard aarkerio: Still around?
18:48 aarkerio yea!!
18:48 oleonard Did you find your error logs?
18:49 aarkerio yes, thanks, also I am using:     die Dumper { this => $this, that_array => \@that };
18:49 oleonard Good, I was just going to ask if you tried Dumper
18:51 aarkerio thanks again, BTW if I created a variable in "Local Use" how can I get in a koha page.pl ?
18:51 druthb joined #koha
18:52 druthb left #koha
18:53 aarkerio page.pl?p=page_test
18:53 ?
19:00 cait no
19:00 you have to put it n th eperl code
19:01 like other sysprefs
19:01 and pass it to the template
19:01 aarkerio I typed:
19:01 [% IF ( page_test ) %]<div id="opacmainuserblock" class="container">[% page_test %]</div>     [% END %]
19:03 I am following this:   http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_as_a_CMS
19:04 cait you can use paste.koha-community.org for pasting
19:04 it's easy and will be easier to read
19:05 oh
19:05 oleonard That's just the template aarkerio. Like cait says, you have to have the Perl script pass the variable to the template.
19:05 cait I haven't tried that yet
19:05 the koha as a cms thing
19:06 oleonard cait: The patch for opac-detail.tt doesn't apply for me
19:06 "fatal: cannot convert from UTF-8utf-8 to UTF-8"
19:06 pastebot "aarkerio" at 201.141.215.122 pasted "Add HTML page to Koha" (31 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/17
19:07 cait hmm
19:07 weird
19:07 I will rebase
19:07 working on serials right now
19:07 almost done
19:07 aarkerio: looking at the wiki page - it needs some changes for our new templating system I think
19:08 oleonard: that's the error you get?
19:08 aarkerio http://paste.koha-community.org/17
19:08 cait weird
19:08 oleonard That's the error I get when I try to apply the patch
19:08 cait ok, still opac-detail?
19:09 paulhad that too with one of my patches
19:09 but I am not sure where it's coming from
19:09 I always do the same things
19:09 on the same laptop
19:09 and some work and others not :(
19:10 oleonard cait: I think it's just a problem with git am and that patch. git apply works. Looks like there's a duplicate "Content-Type" header in the patch itself.
19:10 wizzyrea dumb question of the day... borrower extended attributes = what
19:11 nengard these are custom fields for patrons
19:11 cait aarkerio: one obvious thing you have to change is: pages.tmpl to pages.tt
19:11 nengard so you can create a field call driver's license for example
19:11 and fill that in with a value
19:11 wizzyrea so they are defined in the authorized values
19:11 which is what I was really asking
19:11 nengard no
19:11 oleonard they can be, but don't have to be
19:11 * wizzyrea mutters
19:11 nengard they're defined in the extendended patron attributes section
19:11 in admin
19:11 http://manual.koha-community.o[…]ronattributetypes
19:12 if that helps
19:12 lots of libraries use them for custom values
19:12 and because they - unlike the sort fields - are searchable
19:12 wizzyrea interesting. we only use authorized values for that.
19:12 oleonard Oh, she totally just RTFMed you, did you see that? ;)
19:12 wizzyrea I totally did.
19:13 nengard i didn't mean it that way!!!!
19:13 wizzyrea ;)
19:13 nengard I just like seeing images and that page will show you where to go and how it's set up
19:13 wizzyrea the feature is pretty helpful in that regard.
19:13 cait wizzyrea: the additinal borrower fields you can configure under admin > patron attributes
19:13 oleonard: not sure where it's getting this form, I checked my git variables
19:13 hmmmmm
19:13 nengard wizzyrea yes, very helpful
19:14 cait can you sign-off? will try to investigate later
19:14 I am on a train right now (that is already 150 minutes late...) and have no mouse and a very slow internet connection
19:14 wizzyrea I just added a patron attribute that asks "is the patron a cat"
19:14 nengard HA
19:14 wizzyrea I crack me up.
19:14 nengard i should use that one for my patrons - since my dogs are patrons
19:15 wizzyrea soooooo I guess if you use authorized values and not this system, the results are not searchable?
19:15 oleonard I have a repeatable one one in my test system for recording the names of all the patron's pets.
19:15 wizzyrea lulz
19:15 cait wizzyrea: it's also nice because you can add unique fields
19:15 wizzyrea i love you guys
19:15 chris_n nengard: got the book, btw; looks nice
19:15 cait and you can match against these when doing patron imports :)
19:15 nengard oh good
19:15 wizzyrea right
19:16 cait we have student numbers in there
19:16 * wizzyrea idly wonders if libsysguy was aware of all of that
19:16 nengard wizzyrea - i think you can use an authorized value in an attribute and have it searchable
19:16 oleonard wizzyrea: Yes, but you can set up authorized values to be used in patron attributes if you want defined choices
19:16 nengard i'd need to test
19:16 cait if we haven't told him probably not?
19:16 it's not easy to guess that you can do that
19:16 wizzyrea i'm just curious because I'm pretty sure NEKLS isn't using the extended attributes
19:16 nengard wizzyrea i did train libsysguy to use them
19:17 what he remembers after 3 days of me throwing info at him ... who knows :)
19:17 wizzyrea as our setup predates the feature
19:17 oleonard The only problem with searching extended attributes with authorized values is that you have to use the code, not the description
19:17 nengard ooo - that makes sense
19:17 wizzyrea well he was doing something with markiing patrons as active/inactive every night
19:17 chris_n wizzyrea: "predates" == "prehistoric"?  ;-)
19:17 cait :)
19:17 I think if oyu use authorized values you perhaps have to search for the code instead of the description - but not quite sure
19:18 wizzyrea no, it's up to date, but it's like putting a new body on the chassis of a model T - the basis from whence we came (and the settings/setup thereof) may not take advantage of all that is available on our new body
19:19 simply because when we set it up, that wasn't an option.
19:19 nengard you know i said that today while teaching wordpress
19:19 wizzyrea (and it's working so why fix it)
19:19 cait oh, oleonard already said it
19:19 nengard i don't use tags on my site cause they weren't there when i started
19:20 cait irc lagged
19:20 wizzyrea yea, that's exactly the sort of thing I'm talking about
19:20 (plus, for me, one level of taxonomy is quite enough for wp posts, tyvm)
19:20 oleonard It's the same reason we don't use Koha's email notices for holds. We already had a workflow in place. Now I'm afraid to switch because I don't know if it will work the same.
19:20 wizzyrea this is probably a limitation of my creativity
19:26 cait never change a running system without good reason
19:27 does someone know how to access serial-issues-full.tt from staff?
19:27 I am not sure which page that i
19:27 s
19:27 and haven't found it yet clikcing my way through the serials module :(
19:28 * oleonard does the same hunt every time he works on serials templates
19:29 oleonard It's called by serial-issues.pl under certain conditions
19:29 rangi grep is ur friend
19:29 oleonard if ($selectview eq "full"){
19:29 * oleonard uses grep for dummies, also known as his text editor's find in files search
19:30 rangi grep -r "serial-issues-full" *
19:30 will tell u what files its referenced by
19:30 aarkerio hi! If I created a new preference in     Home › Administration › System Preferences > Local Use
19:30 how can I get these preference value?
19:32 rangi isn't cait on holiday??????
19:34 aarkerio my $var =  C4::Context->preference('prefrence_name');    ??
19:34 cait good morning to you rangi
19:34 rangi yes aakerio
19:35 cait aarkerio: did you make the change I suggested?
19:35 rangi then you have to set in the template
19:35 aarkerio mmm, perfect!!,   thanx!!
19:36 cait rangi: she is :)
19:36 rangi $template->{VARS}->{'name'}=$var;
19:36 is the way to do it
19:37 not the old param way, over time we will kill the instances of that
19:41 2 koha users speaking at the symposium today, should be good
19:42 wizzyrea more symposium today?
19:42 fun fun!
19:42 rangi yep
19:44 Oak good night dear friends... *hugs*
19:46 aarkerio why   "".  in this code:
19:46 page_test       => "". C4::Context->preference($page),
19:46 ??
19:46 rangi thats the old param method, dont do it that way :)
19:47 aarkerio so just:
19:47 page_test       => C4::Context->preference($page),
19:47 is ok=
19:47 ?
19:47 rangi no
19:47 see what I wrote before
19:48 aarkerio but I see this is the current Koha way in opac-main.pl:  koha_news       => $all_koha_news
19:48 rangi ?
19:48 cait we can work on that when the translation issues are resolved ;)
19:48 :)
19:48 hm
19:48 rangi thats the old way
19:48 cait I treid the grep
19:48 but it found a lot of lines from th epo file and was totally unreadable
19:48 and sorry for the typos..
19:49 aarkerio so, where can I find the API new way?
19:49 rangi I wrote it just above
19:50 scroll back
19:51 cait oleonard: I still don't see how to get there hm
19:52 rangi param is an html::template method, we are faking it with template::toolkit, but transitioning away from it
19:53 ok my bus stop bbl
19:53 wizzyrea aarkerio: in case you don't want to scroll up
19:53 $template->{VARS}->{'name'}=$var;
19:54 (it's rangi's example)
19:56 aarkerio oh! thanks, I didn't realize that lie was for  me, so, $template->param()  is deprecated ?
19:56 line
19:56 oleonard Actually cait I think that template might be unused, now that I look further
19:57 cait: I don't see any links to serial-issues.pl in the template except from serial-issues.tt and serial-issues-full.tt
19:57 JesseM joined #koha
20:00 cait h
20:00 m
20:01 that might be an explanation
20:01 I tried looking at the template code but the breadcrumbs and title seemed not very familiar
20:04 aarkerio can I pass an array ??    $template->{VARS}->{'array'}=@array;  ??
20:12 luisb joined #koha
20:16 rangi pass an arrayref
20:16 \@array
20:25 aarkerio coo, If I want to create the Class use   C4::MyDBFunctions, where should I put the perl file?
20:26 $KOHA_HOME/lib/C4  right?
20:32 hankbank joined #koha
20:33 aarkerio are you using some ORM to get database records?
20:35 like http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBIx-Class/
20:36 cait no, we are not using that at the moment
20:36 I think you can find examples for how to query the db in the C4 modules
20:38 aarkerio Koha is pretty full featured and stable you are doing a great work guys
20:39 rangi if you are writing a brand new module
20:39 you can put it in Koha::
20:40 or C4:: eventually everything will be in Koha:: as its cleaned
20:46 nengard left #koha
20:48 cait lol

20:55 cait hm doing the math this isn't right

20:55 and there was a  thunderstorm or something and we had to make a detour
21:03 rangi ?
21:03 lightning hit the tracks?

21:14 jcamins_away I am supposed to cut the netting off of the flower, right?

21:47 rangi how far away from berlin are you now cait ?
21:49 Oak huh, 2:52 am. i guess i should go back to sleep. good night again
22:44 rangi wow
22:44 steve jobs resigned
22:45 talljoy oh my
22:45 jcamins_away Really? Wow.
22:45 My ISP is trying to charge me an extra $5/month.
22:45 rangi for?
22:45 jcamins_away Fun, I think.
22:46 rangi heh
22:46 jcamins_away They just increased the price $5.
22:46 rangi stink
22:47 talljoy what triggers the 'Available' status on an item record in the OPAC?
22:47 jcamins_away Looks like it's time to call and demand a discount.
22:47 Ah, it's been a year since my last complaint.
22:48 That's why.
22:48 talljoy: you don't want to know.
22:48 talljoy tell me.
22:48 jcamins_away And with that encouraging thought, I think I'd better go get the cookies and set out dinner.
22:49 Irma joined #koha
22:49 talljoy anyone else care to enlighten me as to the "available" status on an item record?
22:50 mtj talljoy,   a successful zebra update, i think
22:50 rangi its a big combo of things
22:50 is it available for loan, is it not lost, is it not withdrawn, is it not out
22:50 talljoy i figured, since there wasn't a 'available' field
22:50 i have an item that is checked out but shows as available
22:51 rangi right
22:51 how often do your zebra updates run?
22:52 mtj the seach-results availablity is pulled from zebra, not sure about the details page
22:52 rangi details should be from db
22:52 mtj yeah, prolly a little zebra lag, there....
22:52 rangi is it diff on search results and detail page talljoy ?
22:52 mtj rangi: yeah, i agree
22:53 talljoy i'm looking in staff client now.  let me check the opac
22:53 Irma left #koha
22:54 talljoy okay.  OPAC shows checked out.  But the staff client shows them Checked out but Available
22:54 rangi the results and detail pages, should be different in both
22:54 shouldnt matter if its opac or staff
22:55 xslt?
22:55 wahanui hmmm... xslt is broken for staff display in 3.0.x.
22:55 rangi wahanui: forget xslt
22:55 wahanui rangi: I forgot xslt
22:56 talljoy staff client search screen shows 6 available but the detail page shows them checked out but still Available
22:57 mtj talljoy: hmmm, i would force a partial , then full zebra rebuild now
22:58 i guess its on a prod box...
22:58 talljoy i'll recommend that to start.  thanks.
22:58 mtj and 3.2, or 3.4?
22:58 talljoy 3.4
22:58 mtj ah ok... nice ;)
22:59 rangi id check if you have xslt switched on or not too, and see if that makes a diff
23:02 ive found weirdness with availability and xslt before
23:04 mtj rangi: aah, i didnt know xslt touched the 'items' bit of the page
23:04 good info for me
23:06 rangi it certainly does on the results page
23:06 not sure about detail
23:10 eythian http://article.gmane.org/gmane[…]pache.announce/58 <-- happy apache upgrade day!
23:11 talljoy: there are two fields, you get "out but available" if they disagree
23:11 talljoy: one is on the item record, the other is in the issues table
23:12 the 'onloan' field
23:12 this: update items,issues set items.onloan=issues.issuedate where issues.itemnumber=items.itemnumber;
23:12 followed by a full zebra rebuild will ensure they're in sync (it assumes the issues table is the correct one)
23:17 talljoy what about the datelastborrowed field in items?
23:17 eythian if you want to, you could extract that from old_issues. I don't usually bother.
23:18 talljoy datelastborrowed wouldn't affect the availability status then.
23:18 eythian no
23:18 talljoy let me check the issues table.
23:21 bingo....we have a winner.  it's the onloan field in items that is set to NULL not a date.
23:21 eythian++
23:22 immediately fixed that problem.  easy peasy.  thanks!
23:23 mtj eythian: thanks for the apache heads-up :)
23:23 eythian no problem
23:23 cool
