00:44 lastnode im havinga problemwith the modification log. when i loadit up for a particular record, the SQL in the log shows { 'biblioitemnumber' => 'X'
00:44 and X is not teh biblioitem of the record im looking at
00:44 whereas the 'Object' column shows the correct biblioitem id
00:45 thoughts?
00:46 eythian Unfortunately, I have no idea about that area of things.
00:53 lastnode maybe rangi or someone does
00:53 will wait
00:53 dont want to put it to the list if it's an obvious answer
00:53 mtj sounds like a bug, to me
00:55 lastnode hmmm
00:57 mtj: should i put it to the list?
00:57 mtj i would log a bug 1st
00:57 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]show_bug.cgi?id=1 major, P2, ---, chris, CLOSED FIXED, Missing uploadedmarc table definition
00:58 lastnode well i dont know if it's a bug for sure, right?
00:59 mtj you probably wont know that, until you log it
01:00 lastnode sure, ok
01:01 mtj a screenshot attached to your bug, looks useful here
01:05 lastnode mtj: im looking at this againa dn it looks like object maps to item
01:05 and not biblio?
01:05 so that makes sense then
01:07 mtj if the log says ''biblioitemnumber' => 'X'
01:07 ... and X is not the correct bibitem, its a bug
01:07 lastnode the object being queried correspondes to itemnumber, not biblionumber. which is probably expected behaviour.
01:07 i think i misphrased my statemetn earlier and you misunderstood
01:08 the modification log for a record queries with teh object number = biblionumber. this caused confusion
01:08 mtj from what you said previously , it sounds like a bug
01:08 lastnode when i modified the URL for object number = itemnumber, the correct log came up.

02:06 huginn New commit(s) kohagit: While testing the commits for 6716 I discovered a couple of missing <http://git.koha-community.org/[…]def21091016db17f3>
02:09 jcamins_away eythian: around?
02:09 eythian jcamins_away: yarp
02:10 jcamins_away Yay!
02:10 * jcamins_away hears eythian's wince from across the globe.
02:10 eythian :)
02:12 jcamins_away eythian: I wrote a script for backing up the Koha database. I'd like to submit it as a script to go in the packages (different feature set than koha-dump).
02:13 You can see the script as it stands now here: https://github.com/jcamins/koh[…]ripts/koha-backup
02:13 eythian should it be those features get merged into koha-dump?
02:13 jcamins_away I thought about that, but that would require completely changing the way koha-dump works.
02:14 And making it into a Perl script.
02:14 eythian you can't use /etc/mysql/debian.cnf to get database access information.
02:14 jcamins_away Hm. I was afraid that might be the case.
02:14 eythian it doesn't work if the database is on another machine.
02:15 jcamins_away Ooh.
02:15 Wait, no, that doesn't matter.
02:15 This _has_ to be run on the database server.
02:15 eythian oh
02:16 jcamins_away See, that's the thing. It doesn't replace koha-dump.
02:16 eythian yeah
02:16 jcamins_away I wasn't entirely sure that it was worthy of inclusion in Koha, but magnuse and druthb both gave it a resounding vote for inclusion.
02:16 rangi you wouldnt nessecarily have the packages on the db server
02:17 i know we dont
02:17 jcamins_away rangi: I know. See my above comment about not being sure it is worthy. ;)
02:18 eythian it definitely does seem to assume that the database and koha are on the same machine. That's a bit of concern to me.
02:18 rangi it seems like the perfect thing to live at contribs
02:18 we should resurrect that site
02:18 jcamins_away Contribs?
02:18 eythian the docs don't say how you go about restoring a backup you've made, either :)
02:19 rangi http://contribs.koha.org/ <-- old site
02:19 jcamins_away eythian: that's for version 2.
02:19 rangi for stuff thats useful, but probably not ready (yet) for mainstream
02:20 jcamins_away eythian: that's in no way the finished product. It's the script that I needed to have working yesterday.
02:20 ;)
02:20 eythian fair enough :)
02:20 jcamins_away rangi: oh, nifty. That would be the perfect place.
02:20 rangi yup, we just need to set up a new contribs site somewhere
02:21 eythian could create a git repo with a very easy get-stuff-accepted policy
02:21 or, even a page on the wiki to start with where people link to gitorious or whatever pages.
02:21 rangi yup, its more a nice frontend to see that stuff
02:21 which the old site had
02:21 eythian yeah.
02:22 rangi https://gna.org/projects/pem/  <-- uses that
02:22 (from 2 old time koha developers)
02:22 eythian oh, nifty
02:22 jcamins_away Yeah. For me, the script can live happily in my cpspecial branch, but other people might need incremental backups.
02:22 rangi i set it up, dont remember it being too hard
02:23 eythian jcamins_away: incremental backups are a good thing, especially for larger sites, where a full packup is expensive.
02:23 *backup
02:24 I wonder if there's a way to get them without hitting the binlog, I'd expect that larger sites would also have one or more separate db servers.
02:24 I guess replication is the real way of doing that.
02:25 jcamins_away Replication is best. The idea behind this script is that it runs on the backup DB server.
02:25 eythian: exactly. Arguably a bit of an overkill for a site with ~100MB/data, but it's the principle of the thing.
02:25 There doesn't seem to be.
02:26 eythian so do you run a full backup daily, and incremental each hour, or something like that?
02:27 jcamins_away Full weekly, incremental daily.
02:27 However, as you can tell, I expected one might want to do hourly incrementals.
02:28 eythian ah right. We just run daily, and sync that off the machine. There's a patch going through that will save the last two days worth by default (using koha-dump)
02:29 jcamins_away Yeah, daily full backups are good, but cost a lot of bandwidth for off-site backups.
02:29 eythian it'd be a drop in the bucket compared to our other stuff :) I think it ends up on tape for us.
02:30 jcamins_away Yeah, but you're a big operation with a data center.
02:30 And actual computers that one can connect a tape drive to.
02:30 eythian yeah :)
02:31 * jcamins_away has an Internet connection with 30KB/s upload.
02:31 eythian I can see that being problematic...
02:33 jcamins_away And my download speed isn't that great here, either.
02:33 So bandwidth is a key concern for off-site backups.
02:34 eythian yep.
02:35 * eythian considers copy-pasting a chunk of code because he's not sure about how to rewrite it. This surely is not the answer.
02:36 jcamins_away What's it do?
02:36 eythian it's the XSLT for rendering OPAC detail
02:37 currently it's doing "if the tag is 100 or 700, display stuff" followed by similar for 110/710 and so on, however we really want all the 100's first, then the 700's later.
02:38 jcamins_away I thought marcelr fixed that.
02:38 eythian it's pretty nice for the staff client (in fact, the code there is a whole lot nicer in general) but not the OPAC.
02:39 I might have a go at putting this into a template.
02:39 jcamins_away Bug 5643
02:39 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5643 minor, PATCH-Sent, ---, m.de.rooy, RESOLVED WONTFIX, Few new template routines in MARC21slim2OPACResults.xsl
02:40 jcamins_away Yeah, templates are good.
02:40 eythian different XSLT file
02:40 Mine's detail, not results
02:40 jcamins_away Right. I thought he did that for both.
02:40 eythian not in that bug, anyway
02:42 also not in the code, as I can see exactly why it's the way it is :)
02:42 jcamins_away Yeah, I can't find a bug with template routines for the details display.
02:44 The opac details xslt is particularly bad for copy-and-paste code.
02:44 eythian big issue I have with declarative languages: doing a relatively minor change can often result in a refactor, and if you're not careful you can take the lazy way out.
02:45 jcamins_away True. On the other hand, if it were done right from the beginning, that wouldn't be so likely to happen.
02:45 eythian yeah
02:46 wholly chao, that worked.
02:46 that was unexpected.
02:46 * jcamins_away looks to see who wrote the XSLT stylesheets originally.
02:46 rangi they came from loc
02:46 jcamins_away Well color me purple, I never woulda guessed!
02:47 eythian heh
02:47 jcamins_away Yeah, LC could have done better with their examples, too.
02:47 rangi and then indexdata and then koha people
02:47 jcamins_away According to git log, I was correct in my prediction of which Koha person. ;)
02:47 rangi yup
02:48 shortcuts r us
02:48 that was his MO
02:48 eythian a few people have done a good refactoring of koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/x​slt/MARC21slim2intranetDetail.xsl though, it's a crapload cleaner.
02:48 rangi yup
02:48 * jcamins_away suspects marcelr may have had something to do with it.
02:49 rangi and kf and fredericd

03:28 kulps joined #koha
03:31 kulps evening folks
03:31 anybody about?
03:32 mtj hiya kulps
03:33 kulps I'm a brutally new user and have some questions, do you maybe have time to show me the program?
03:33 rangi what version are you running?
03:34 kulps 3.04.04.000
03:34 rangi you've found the manual eh?
03:34 http://koha-community.org/docu[…]on/3-4-manual-en/
03:34 kulps I hadn't yet
03:34 rangi http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Newbie_guide  <-- is good too
03:35 kulps I was googling (Without great success)
03:35 mtj ooooh, i'm a little busy for a demo, right now kulps
03:35 kulps I understand, I popped in last night and it seemed like everyone was afk, I'm not in a big rush.
03:36 rangi, thanks for the newbie guide, I'll give it a read
03:38 I'm a bit confused as to what the current version of the software is
03:38 koha.org says 4.2
03:38 wiki says 3.4.4
03:38 rangi koha.org is not koha
03:38 kulps okay
03:38 rangi koha-community.org is
03:39 kulps so 3.4 is current then?
03:39 rangi a company hostile to the project owns koha.org and they are being particularly annoying about it
03:39 yes 3.4.4 is the current stable release
03:39 3.4.5 will be out september 22
03:39 http://koha-community.org/home/#more-1
03:41 kulps I like the way the newbie guide is written, quite approachable.
03:41 is there a changelog for 3.4.5? will it be worth the upgrade?
03:42 rangi we do a one monthly bug fix release, 6 monthly feature release
03:43 you can see all the changelogs on the koha-community.org site
03:43 it wont contain any new features, only bug fixes
03:43 http://koha-community.org/koha-3-4-4/#more-2633  <-- that was 3.4.4
03:43 kulps okay
03:44 I likely wont move until there's a feature release
03:44 I only plan to use koha for my personal collection until I get a better handle on it
03:44 rangi id highly recommend installing using the packages and upgrading for bugfix releases, when you put it into production
03:45 kulps okay, I'll make the effort if you think it's worth it
03:45 rangi well not for your personal one probably
03:45 kulps my "production" library will be smaller than my library
03:45 rangi did you install using the packages? or from the tarball
03:45 kulps just wanted to get my hackerspaces library indexed
03:46 tarball
03:46 rangi yeah, id use the packages in future, makes upgrading easier
03:46 kulps it's been a bit of a pain, I'm pretty fresh to linux, I'm a windows admin
03:46 rangi packages are a lot easier
03:46 kulps noted
03:46 are the packages kept as up to date?
03:47 rangi http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]on_Debian_Squeeze
03:47 yes
03:47 kulps damn
03:47 that probably would have been a lot easier
03:47 rangi next time ;)
03:47 mtj everything's a pain, when you are a windows admin :p
03:47 kulps apt-get install notsodamnhardplease
03:47 so I've been told, I'm working on it
03:47 I learned a few things during the install
03:47 I'd never used cpan before
03:48 so that was pretty neat
03:48 rangi yeah you dont need to with the packages, as long as you are running debian stable
03:48 all the perl modules are packaged too
03:48 kulps I am,
03:48 * kulps sighs
03:48 kulps oh well
03:48 learning experience all around
03:51 so are most people here full time librarians or do you see more hobby librarians?
03:51 rangi mostly fulltime
03:51 we get some hobby ones too
03:51 koha is a bit overkill for most hobby people
03:53 kulps I know, but I tried to find a smaller suite and found nothinh usable
03:53 I setup the virtual appliance last year when I was piloting it for the hackerspace and knew it was overkill
03:54 but
03:54 for us the exercise is often as important as the result
03:56 rangi *nod*
03:56 eythian you'll find it appropriately hackable once you get it going.
03:57 kulps that's good news
03:57 so, is there a smaller suite that I just failed to find in my searching?
03:57 in case any friends ask
03:57 rangi you looked at openbiblio?
03:58 kulps no
03:58 rangi http://obiblio.sourceforge.net/
03:58 kulps I found biblioteq
03:58 rangi it seems kinda orphaned now
03:58 and is far less featureful, but a lot smaller
03:58 kulps obiblio or biblioteq?
03:58 rangi openbiblio
03:58 kulps mmm
03:59 rangi actually yeah, it looks like a dead project
04:00 no commits in over a year, in the main repo
04:00 but this fork
04:00 https://bitbucket.org/mstetson/obiblio-10-wip/
04:00 seems to be alive
04:01 kulps have you ever used it?
04:01 rangi nope
04:01 kulps hmm
04:02 maybe I'll give it a whirl
04:02 but probably I'll stick to Koha
04:02 I want the ldap integration for the space
04:02 rangi koha has a big active community
04:02 so much easier to get help
04:02 kulps no sure if the smaller suites support it
04:02 yeah
04:02 that too
04:03 rangi ok, ive had enough of hte solvent smell here at work (new carpet) im going home
04:03 kulps what time do you have?
04:07 eythian 16:00 here
04:08 and I'm getting pretty headachey from this smell too, going to tidy up the stuff I'm doing and head off also.

04:24 ah, its been renamed from sysprefs.* to system_preferences.*
04:25 ok, some tidying :)

04:37 BobB Impossible.  :)
04:37 eythian It's possible to try to avoid it :)

09:19 kivilahtio I have trouble adding items data to my Koha 3.4. I have just emptied the biblio, items, biblioitems, auth_header, sessions and zebraqueue databases. Then reset the Zebra indexer with  zebraidx -c /home/mason/koha/ashs/etc/​zebradb/zebra-authorities-
09:19 dom.cfg -g iso2709 -d authorities init
09:19 zebraidx -c /home/mason/koha/ashs/etc/​zebradb/zebra-biblios.cfg   -g iso2709 -d biblios  init
09:20 and now i am again staging marc records with item data inside the 952 fields
09:20 I stage the records via the koha staff pages and it says items are succesfully staged
09:21 i do zebra indexing with flags -b -a
09:21 but I cannot find those items
09:22 magnuse did you import or just stage? not sure that's a relevant question, but it's the first thing i can think of...
09:22 kivilahtio yes
09:22 imported
09:22 then staged
09:22 items table in database is still empty
09:23 even if the staging says 11 items added
09:23 and zebra is reindexed
09:27 magnuse hm, that's weird
09:28 what subfields are you using for 952?
09:29 cait do you have $b and $a with a valid branchcode?
09:29 kivilahtio 9,a,b,c,l,o,p,y
09:29 cait I filed a bug because koha reports success even when it's not correct
09:29 kivilahtio branchcodes are invalid
09:29 cait then there you go
09:29 kivilahtio but I previously imported the same items and they were succesfully imported even if branchcodes wereinvalid
09:29 cait $a and $b need to be a branchcode that is associated with a library in your branches table
09:30 kivilahtio branchcodes were reading 0001, even if no such branccode existed in koha

14:23 kulps Good morning (for me anyway) #koha
14:23 wizzyrea mornin
14:24 kulps reading the buffer it looks like somebody else had a similar issue to me overnight, I added my first items to the catalog but am unable to search them. Do I need to manually force an index of Zebra?
14:24 juan_sieira joined #koha
14:25 wizzyrea every new koha user has that problem.
14:25 kulps hurray! I'm not alone.
14:25 wizzyrea searching faq?
14:25 wahanui searching faq is at http://koha-community.org/docu[…]on/faq/searching/
14:25 kulps I searched the cataloging section
14:25 wizzyrea see #3
14:25 typo, #4
14:25 adnc joined #koha
14:26 wizzyrea but yes, you're probably running into the fact that your zebra cron isn't running
14:26 kulps I'm glad to hear it's not insurmountable, I'm sad to see the answer was so readily available.
14:27 Thanks for pointing me in the right direction
14:27 wizzyrea no worries, yw :)
14:27 we really ought to update that faq to indicate the (at least 2) other reasons that searching fails
14:28 rhcl joined #koha
14:31 kulps hmm, reading that I'm not really sure what I need to do (with the disclaimer that I'm not a proficient linux user)
14:33 wizzyrea well, first, try a forced index
14:34 sekjal oleonard:  T:T style question, if you have a moment
14:34 oleonard Sure
14:34 kulps from within the gui or is there a script in the koha folder I should run?>
14:34 sekjal when doing a test for a variable's existence, I see our standard is [% ( condition ) %].
14:35 are the parentheses necessary?
14:35 oleonard I don't know
14:35 sekjal I don't think necessarily are, functionality
14:35 err, functionally
14:35 but stylistically...
14:35 druthb left #koha
14:35 oleonard http://template-toolkit.org/do[…]anual/Syntax.html
14:36 I see examples of [% IF foo %] on that page
14:36 sekjal yes, reading that now
14:36 looks like it's not necessary, then
14:36 okay
14:36 I suppose this becomes a question of coding style
14:37 is it worth being a stickler about it, when there is no defined community style standard for it yet?
14:37 hmmm
14:38 oleonard I guess I'd say there's a defined standard based on what's in the templates now
14:38 wizzyrea though, remember the style was put there by a script
14:39 * oleonard bows to our machine overlords
14:39 wizzyrea hehe
14:41 sekjal perhaps my regex-fu isn't strong enough this morning, but I cannot find a counterexample to the convention in the current codebase
14:42 wizzyrea sounds like we've invented a standard for ourselves then :)
14:42 sekjal I'm all for standards
14:43 unfortunately, if we apply this one now, we'll have to send 3498 back for modification
14:43 it does not make use of parentheses in it's T:T IF's
14:43 seems a rather trivial thing to reject a patch over, though...
14:43 wizzyrea well, yes
14:44 sekjal perhaps I should just do the cleanup myself and resubmit the patch with my signoff
14:44 * wizzyrea looks at the patch
14:44 wizzyrea 1s
14:45 * sekjal took a second to realize that was a "one" not and "L"... was about to list the connects of my current directory
14:45 wizzyrea hehe
14:46 yea, it's just those two files that don't use the parens
14:46 if you'd rather I can clean them up?
14:46 my libs really want it
14:47 to the point of sabre rattling
14:47 oleonard wizzyrea is a maverick.
14:47 wizzyrea !
14:47 oleonard ...with your casual discarding of parentheses.
14:47 wizzyrea dude, wasn't my patch!
14:48 oleonard Oh, my mistake. You're an obedient conformist.
14:48 * wizzyrea scowls at being compared to John McCain.
14:49 sekjal wizzyrea:  if you were to add those parentheses in, I think it'd be safe to pass it through QA
14:49 kulps wizzyrea, should I see errors after running rebuild_zebra.pl?
14:49 * wizzyrea gets to work
14:50 sekjal most of it is new subroutines and scripts, and all the tests I'm hearing are positive.
14:57 * wizzyrea loves having selenium tests to run for this
14:58 wizzyrea best idea evar
14:58 and it passes with the parens.
14:58 * wizzyrea whips up a patch
14:59 sekjal wehoo!

16:29 yup, it could be an error i made
16:30 have you got the most recent version of the script?
16:30 kulps yes
16:30 well, I did the install an hour ago
16:30 I assume it's pretty recent
16:30 magnus_afk check if line 118 says if [ "$configfile" != "" ]
16:31 if it doesn't it's fixed by this patch: http://git.koha-community.org/[…]45672c42a5359c5a4
16:32 kulps # Load the configfile given on the command line
16:32 magnus_afk and then "if [ -e "$configfile" ]"
16:33 ?
16:33 kulps yes
16:33 sorry, the java paste was incomplete
16:33 magnus_afk that's the problem, then
16:33 kulps can I just edit it here or should I get the patch?
16:34 magnus_afk hm, i would get the patch, i think
16:34 kulps k
16:37 magnus_afk or update to the latest version from git - depends on how you are running things
16:38 kulps I'm not great with linux, so I'm currently reading how to use git to get that patch
16:38 :)
16:40 magnus_afk the quick and (very) dirty way would be to just make sure koha-create looks like this around line 117: http://git.koha-community.org/[…]/heads/3.4.x#l117
16:40 depends on whether you are just "fooling around" or running things in production ;-)
16:41 kulps not production
16:41 just trying to get it setup at all though
16:41 I have the git clone going now
16:42 magnus_afk are you building your own packages or using the ones from debian.koha-community.org?
16:43 kulps I had compiled it this weekend since not everything says that 3.4.4 is available by package (and I wanted the latest... right)
16:43 but then my indexing was fubared
16:43 and when I went to rip it out I learned I had no zebra daemon
16:43 anyway...
16:43 the nice folks here told me that the deb package was up to date
16:43 so I thouhgt I'd just start again
16:44 and now I'm using the package
16:45 magnus_afk the fix for your problem was added to 3.4.x 9 days ago according to git, and the most recent package is probably slightly older than that
16:46 kulps neat, well I certainly don't begrudge having to do a little legwork to make it go, it's a lot better than building my own ILS
16:46 magnus_afk hehe, yeah!
16:47 what i would do then, if i were you, is to just fix koha-create by hand, and then it will be fixed for good next time you update the packages
16:47 kulps yeah?
16:47 okay

17:00 magnus_afk yay
17:00 kulps sorry to bother you with such trivial things
17:00 magnus_afk no problem!
17:03 kulps does koha-create also follow kohaadmin/katikoan or does it use another username/password?
17:05 magnus_afk username is koha_instancename
17:05 password is randomly generated

18:20 libsysguy hey cait :)
18:28 how do I link borrowers to biblios
18:28 is it issues?
18:31 wizzyrea what are you trying to ascertain?
18:31 libsysguy i am running a report to get the amount of fines per patron...which i stole from the wiki...but I want to put in the description of the item
18:32 but I can't really find the description field either lol
18:32 cait description of th item?
18:32 wizzyrea well issues will have an itemnumber
18:32 cait do you mean the title of the book?
18:32 wizzyrea with itemnumber you can get bibnumber
18:32 libsysguy Margo said she wanted the item description?
18:33 cait there is no field with that name
18:33 not sure what she meant
18:33 wizzyrea probably title/author
18:33 sec
18:33 cait the barcode, the title of the item, some other field?
18:33 libsysguy me either...im asking
18:34 wizzyrea that's what my peeps always want
18:34 probably something like items.itemnumber, biblio.title, biblio.author, items.itemcallnumber,
18:34 items.barcode,
18:35 libsysguy ohh i think she just wanted the note
18:35 wizzyrea the patron note?
18:35 or the bib note
18:35 libsysguy bib note? and the description of charges
18:35 cait public note or opac note from items?
18:36 wizzyrea there are tons of notes all over the place
18:37 libsysguy i think it might be the issues note?
18:37 wizzyrea no note in issues
18:37 libsysguy hmm
18:37 where is the description of charges held?
18:37 maybe it is close to there
18:38 wizzyrea accountlines I think
18:38 accountlines.note
18:38 libsysguy ah ha there is a description in there
18:38 wizzyrea right, note is the bit you type in
18:39 yea, description is what you want
18:39 stuff like "Ars Magica /OVERDUE"
18:39 is in my data
18:40 libsysguy apparently I need note and description
18:40 both of those fields are populated
18:40 wizzyrea yea, note is generated by the librarian
18:40 something they type in
18:40 somewhere along the line
18:40 libsysguy I have stuff like OVERDUE fine migrated from Unicorn on Letter to my daughter / (0000001865062) in descripton
18:41 wizzyrea yea, it looks like a lot of that depends on how it is migrated in
18:41 libsysguy yeah I think so too
18:41 * wizzyrea wonders what native koha descriptions look like, if anything

18:53 because theres chances we will setup one internally for testing koha
18:53 wizzyrea rangi I think
18:53 rhcl so wizzyrea: you gonna apply for the job in Se?
18:54 wizzyrea that's really tempting, but I'm cool I think :)
18:54 (really, it is.)
18:54 (and I don't speak swedish)
18:54 rhcl I think it would be a great opportunity.
18:54 So you learn Sweedish. How hard can it be? I learned Korean.
18:55 wizzyrea beyond Tack så mycket
18:55 rhcl And to work on a project standing up something fantastically interesting like a "global center of maritime information".
18:55 wizzyrea maybe you should apply ;)
18:55 rhcl I ain't a librarian. I'm a sysadmin.
18:56 wizzyrea technicality, really.
18:56 rhcl Besides, I want to go work in Norway where I can go fishing in magnuse's pond and eat reindeer steak.
18:58 magnuse yay
18:58 Danielle That I was a sysadmin and not a librarian is why I switched jobs in 1999-2000.
18:58 * magnuse doesn't have a pond
18:59 magnuse i'm not sure you need swedish for that job at the maritime university
18:59 trea yea, only asks for strong english skills
18:59 wizzyrea but you know
18:59 when in sweden
18:59 speak swedish?
19:00 idk
19:00 kulps hmmm, is it a known issue that a marc record not marked as mandatory would throw an error when left blank during item creation?
19:01 rhcl The job requirements list does include a lot of sysadmin stuff...
19:01 wizzyrea see? you should totally apply ;)
19:02 rhcl tempting thought...tempting....
19:02 magnuse i'm sure you could figure out the librarian bits as you go along!
19:03 rhcl http://www.flickr.com/photos/enger/6140606719/    <-- pond, big pond
19:03 magnuse aka "the ocean"
19:03 ;-)
19:04 rhcl yea, and I'd be interviewing, and they'd ask what information goes in the 355 field, and I'd say something like "rare, medium, or well-done".
19:04 wizzyrea @marc 355

19:27 paul_p about 100km
19:27 wizzyrea nuclear spill!
19:27 magnuse that's not too much!
19:27 * wizzyrea has not read the news today
19:28 kulps when I try and create an item for a biblio record I get the following message, 1 mandatory fields empty (see bold subfields), when I check the marc structure, the bolded subfiels is not listed as mandatory. If I ignore the subfield and try to add the item again it errors on another subfield that is also not listed as mandatory. Any thoughts?
19:29 cait nuclear spill??!!
19:29 wizzyrea http://www.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/[…]uclear/index.html
19:29 looks like more of a "problem at a nuclear plant that doesn't involve radioactivity"
19:29 but I admit that's the first article I've looked at
19:31 magnuse i only read the headline, i see it says no spill, but a fear of loosing control of the sitatuin
19:32 s/sitatuin/situation/
19:35 rangi kulps: haven't seen that before, default framework?
19:36 and what is the first subfield its complaining about?
19:36 kulps as default as can be trusted after my failed attempt to compile myself
19:36 copy note
19:36 then call number
19:36 all in 995
19:37 I just built it this morning using the debian package
19:38 magnuse helped me quite a lot
19:41 magnuse kulps: marc21 or unimarc?
19:41 cait 995 - are you using unimarc and the packages?
19:41 kulps yes
19:42 should I change to marc21, I wasn't really sure, I read that unimarc was better for multicountry and was having trouble finding entries with my last build (which I used marc21 for)
19:42 magnuse hm, not sure how much that has been tested...
19:43 kulps I had no solid reason to chose either one, if marc21 is more stable I'll happily go back to it
19:46 wizzyrea where are you, kulps?
19:46 (marc21 is "american marc")
19:46 kulps canada
19:47 magnuse i think in connection with the packages, marc21 has been tested more than unimarc, but both should be pretty stable, and i can't think why unimarc would not work i the packages...
19:48 rangi canada uses, a
19:48 marc21
19:51 kulps noted
19:51 can I easily change or do I have to re-setup?
19:52 rangi you'd have to ask someone from france about unimarc, but theres no reason it shouldn't work with the packages
19:52 but I dont know the framework set up so dont know what is or isnt mandatory
19:52 kulps http://lists.katipo.co.nz/publ[…]ruary/027571.html
19:53 does this entry seem correct?
19:53 I dont mind dropping and rebuilding the instance, since I've only got 2 records in it
19:54 rangi id do that
19:54 kulps alright, will do
19:54 eventually I'll get this right!
19:55 magnuse kulps: you will, and that is a great feeling! ;-)
19:56 kulps I've been wondering, how big is the biggest koha deployment?

19:57 wizzyrea there you have it :)
19:58 rangi national library
19:58 doesn't do much circ
19:58 amount of circ is the interesting thing
19:58 wizzyrea 9 million bibs?
19:58 rangi ie how much stuff changes
19:59 I have a zebra with 30mil records in it
19:59 its not a worry
19:59 its transactions that put load on

20:00 writing locks the tables :'(

20:00 jcamins_away rangi: 30 million records? Wow!
20:01 kulps neat
20:01 just curious, again, most users?
20:01 rangi libsysguy: actually innodb row locks
20:01 writes are ok
20:01 wizzyrea wait it says 7 million volumes
20:01 rangi its actually apache that suffers
20:01 oleonard They must have done a smidge of weeding
20:02 rangi ah I might have misremembered
20:02 kulps: we have no idea, its all self reported
20:03 there are thousands of users we know of, and highly likely thousands more we dont
20:03 wizzyrea but we do know that BNV has 7 million volumes, and that's quite a lot
20:03 and they do in fact run koha, so there's that.
20:04 rangi id guess delhi public is busy
20:04 wizzyrea oo yea
20:04 cait night all
20:04 wizzyrea gnite cait
20:04 rangi cya cait
20:04 magnuse is the bnv catalogue public? i tried to find it a while ago, but had no luck

20:05 rangi could email them magnuse
20:05 magnuse yeah, didn't get that far...

20:05 magnuse jcamins_away: cool!

20:07 talljoy is there active development on an 'Advanced Patron Search' functionality
20:07 ?
20:07 wizzyrea define advanced patron search?
20:07 talljoy search by address or phone number
20:07 wizzyrea like, searching on extended attributes?
20:07 I thought there was... sec
20:08 talljoy i found an 'abandoned RFC' for it in the wiki.
20:08 wizzyrea http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6253
20:08 huginn 04Bug 6253: normal, PATCH-Sent, ---, srdjan, ASSIGNED , Unified Patron Search subroutine
20:08 wizzyrea by bywater, no less.
20:09 * talljoy feels abit chagrined for not asking there first......oops
20:09 wizzyrea hehe don't
20:09 talljoy lol.  those guys are so busy.  hate to bother them some times.
20:09 sekjal talljoy:  there is the "unified patron search subroutine" work, which is in testing
20:09 wizzyrea ^^
20:09 :)
20:10 sekjal and there is also "advanced patron search"
20:10 which is something else
20:10 MassCat paid for a feature to do that, and they're interested in getting it back now that that particular bit of code has been released
20:10 talljoy what is unified patron search versus advanced patron search?
20:10 wizzyrea sekjal do you know the bug for the advanced patron search
20:10 oh it's one of THOSe
20:11 talljoy ?
20:13 sekjal wizzyrea: I'm not sure the bug report (if there ever was one)
20:13 wizzyrea k
20:13 * wizzyrea will have a poke-see
20:14 sekjal talljoy:  unified search routine is just to make the existing search we have work consistently in different contexts.  right now there are two routines, each doing it a little different
20:14 advanced search would introduce a new page with more search fields, and also a means for bulk-editing of patrons
20:15 jcamins_away I think RHCL was talking about that advanced search feature.
20:15 * oleonard is surprised to see searching and editing linked as goals, but would be happy to see both
20:15 sekjal oleonard:  they were part of the same contracted development, even though they are distinct features
20:15 all in one commit together

20:56 rhcl An OPAC would primarily be for patron's right? I'm thinking patrons might not really need to see much from the authority records?

21:59 sekjal strip down the borrowers table to the bare minimum of system-required information (name, cardnumber, branchcode, category code, dateexpiry, flags, etc)
21:59 and move all the contact and other info into the borrowers Authority Record
22:00 jcamins Heh.
22:00 wizzyrea hmm

22:02 chobbs Hi all! Why must LDAP be so frustrating :) I had it working before. Now I'm getting the error reported in bug 6823, but fankly the submitter's claim that he solved it on the LDAP side makes little sense.

22:03 rangi chobbs: the guy had 2 issues going on
22:03 the real problem
22:03 chobbs Not sure how a weird LDAP server configuration makes Koha report an "Undefined subroutine" error.
22:03 wahanui the real problem is using squid as a reverse proxy .... thats a bad idea :)
22:03 rangi no that was unrelated
22:03 sekjal chobbs:  this was as problem with CAS authentication bugfix, which has subsequently been pulled
22:03 wizzyrea forget the real problem
22:03 wahanui wizzyrea: I forgot real problem
22:03 * sekjal chuckles at wahanui
22:03 rangi his real problem someone had changed the the ldap setup on server side, and his mapping was busted
22:03 chobbs wow, I sure hope that's a bot :)
22:04 rangi that checkpw_ldap was a red herring, and yes the commit causing it has been pulled
22:04 so latest master is clean
22:04 chobbs But how does a busted mapping result in an undefined subroutine? And can I back that out in my git repo?
22:04 So if I update git I should be good as well?
22:04 sekjal chobbs:  yes
22:04 chobbs I'm off to git it :)
22:05 sekjal update, and ye shall be cured!
22:07 wizzyrea lkater peps
22:07 rangi chobbs: it doesnt result in an undef subroutine

22:59 kulps Hey folks, where can I learn about the marc framework? I tried to add a book, but the z39.50 lookup didnt return a control number identifier, I'd like to be able to correct issues like this on my own insteaf of having to ask/lookup all the time. Are there any good "marc21 for newbies" guides available?
23:02 rangi kulps: nope
23:02 marc21 is designed to be inscrutable, retarded and extremely annoying
23:02 but its the current standard, so we have to live with it
23:03 http://www.loc.gov/marc/faq.html  <-- is about the best there is
23:06 kulps hmm
23:06 I found that and thought I fell through a timewarp
23:06 it doesnt look like it's ever been maintained...
23:06 if that's it though, I guess I give it a shot.
23:06 rangi welcome to library standards
23:07 kulps poor MILS students... getting graded on systems so annoying.
23:07 rangi its the standards that are the problem, they constrain what the systems can do
23:08 if you really want to despair, read up on RDA
23:08 chris_n2 joined #koha
23:10 kulps is it a deprecated standard?
23:11 rangi nope
23:12 its the new cataloguing standard, designed to replace AARC2
