00:58 bencahill hey guys, I changed a patron to be in a category with the Staff type, but still can't log in to the staff client...is there something else I need to do?
01:04 mtj bencahill, user permissions
01:08 bencahill mtj: awesome, thanks :)
01:08 melia left #koha
01:08 bencahill mtj: does being in a category with the Staff type matter, or is it just user permissions that determines whether a patron can log in to the staff client or not?
01:10 mtj just user perms , afaik
01:10 bencahill coolio
01:10 mtj patron type is simply for general classification
01:10 bencahill mtj: was confused by this: http://koha-community.org/docu[…]?ch=x4453#patcats
01:11 mtj: "Patrons within the staff category will have access to the staff client."
01:11 or is that, "will have access to the staff client, if they have sufficient permissions." ?
01:12 s/is that/should that be/

03:46 ted Hi, in my installation sometimes searches fail with 'utf8 "\xC3" does not map to Unicode' (koha n00b)
03:46 I guess this is because my MARC records are in MARC-8 instead of UTF-8?

09:49 magnuse kia ora paul_p - how's the conference(?) going?
10:02 paul_p magnuse, hi. The conference is going smoothly, thanks. Strange to have a booth at a conference : you have a lot of time where ppl are listening speech, and suddenly, 200 person arrive, and they have 20mn to discuss before the next speech
10:03 in fact, this kind of conference is the place where we *must* be, otherwise ppl are wondering "why are they not here, does it mean they are no more interested by us ?" and, OTH, it's not the place where you do real business, you just have lot of contacts...
10:04 magnuse yeah, i have done it twice (first time was with nicomo), and that description sounds very familiar ;-)
10:05 it's weird to be "on show", but good to get your name and the koha logo "out there"

11:10 libsysguy joined #koha
11:11 libsysguy So my webserver came under attack yesterday from a botnet which consequently took it down
11:12 it looks like they didn't get it but had been trying to bruteforce their way through root literally all day
11:12 and I'm wondering if there are any known apache venerabilities that they could have used
11:13 because apache was going crazy on that box but when I put up my backup it was fine
11:13 paul_p magnuse, yep, he wanted to write novels since a long time, and has found time ... only after leaving BibLibre ;-)
11:14 magnuse hehe
11:14 kf koha can keep you pretty busy...
11:14 libsysguy ^^
11:15 heck yes it can...I have started neglecting my job to develop for it...which is acceptable for the librarians mind you
11:17 magnuse in pootle - is there a way to see just the suggestions others have made, so i can accept them?
11:18 kf yeah
11:18 check the review tab
11:18 there is a link
11:18 or links
11:18 for each file
11:18 found it?
11:18 sophie_m joined #koha

16:11 libsysguy its so quiet in here today
16:12 jcamins_away Fridays often are.
16:12 * jcamins_away looks through the scrollback.
16:12 jcamins_away Sure has been quiet.
16:13 libsysguy I was afraid I missed something
16:13 but I most certainly did not
16:13 oleonard We're all at a party you weren't invited to :P
16:13 libsysguy aww
16:13 oleonard In the /secret/ channel
16:13 jcamins_away Maybe this is so that you won't keep on neglecting your job. :P
16:13 * libsysguy is now sad
16:14 * oleonard is always sad when #koha is quiet
16:15 oleonard It's as if my office-mates didn't show up to work.
16:15 libsysguy exactly...you guys are the only ones I talk to all day
16:15 * jcamins_away is currently trying to determine how many pages are in this book.
16:16 libsysguy there are generally numbers located at the top/bottom for that jcamins_away
16:17 jcamins_away libsysguy: not on books like this.
16:17 libsysguy ohh yeah you do really old books right
16:17 jcamins_away Enea Vico's Omnium Caesarum... 1554.
16:17 libsysguy geez...I hope you are in a clean room with a book that old
16:18 * bencahill thinks jcamins_away's nick is deceptively deceptive :-P
16:18 jcamins_away bencahill: I'm liable to disappear suddenly, so I'm not changing my nick.
16:19 bencahill hehe
16:19 oleonard We all talk to him no matter what, being away doesn't do him any good.
16:21 jcamins_away I count 83 plates in this copy.
16:21 * jcamins_away pulls out the other copy.
16:25 jcamins_away 84 plates?
16:25 Bah. Better count again.
16:27 85 plates in this copy. So the first copy is missing two.

17:33 libsysguy_lunchage So I am trying to call CalcFine from the circulation module...i added use Overdues; but I still get an error that it is an undef subroutine
17:35 aogle joined #koha
17:37 jcamins_away libsysguy_lunchage: I know you've been waiting with bated breath to hear about the number of pages in this book, so here's the conclusion: they're two different books.
17:37 libsysguy OMG!
17:38 what a twist
17:38 * oleonard-away does a spit-take all over his monitor!!1
17:39 libsysguy what is the difference between a plate and a page
17:40 sekjal libsysguy:  are you invoking it as CalcFine(), or C4::Overdues::CalcFine()
17:40 jcamins_away Plates are printed off of a single metal plate, and I'm using page as an abbreviation for "pages of letterpress printed text."
17:41 libsysguy CalcFine()
17:41 sekjal libsysguy:  then you need "use C4::Overdues qw(CalcFine);" instead of just "use C4::Overdues;"
17:41 libsysguy ohh gotcha
17:42 jcamins_away oleonard-away: I know! And that's not even the most shocking discovery!
17:42 libsysguy oh yeah becuase I could do qw(:all)
17:42 but that is not recommended
17:42 jcamins_away The text was re-set line-for-line.
17:43 sekjal libsysguy:  that would bring all the subroutines in C4/Overdues into C4/Circulation.... probably okay, but not worth the CPU cycles
17:47 jcamins_away And, for those of you questioning my conclusions, I checked, and the text does not match that of the 1553 edition.
17:48 trea joined #koha
17:54 libsysguy that fixed it sekjal++
18:06 sekjal libsysguy:  yay!
18:07 libsysguy too bad my fix didn't work like it was supposed to :'(
18:09 jcamins_away I think someone in the printing house sat there laughing gleefully as he came up with ways to stump future bibliographers.

18:56 libsysguy hey sekjal is there a different function for check in if you do the checkbox from the patrons account?
18:56 oleonard Bug 3514
18:56 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=3514 major, PATCH-Sent, ---, kyle.m.hall, ASSIGNED , Returning items through patron Details tab doesn't activate all circulation functions
18:56 sekjal libsysguy:  not sure; I just know that it doesn't handle holds properly
18:57 probably because of a lack of message processing, rather than a different subroutine
18:57 libsysguy ohh...hmm
18:57 interesting
18:57 wahanui well, interesting is sometimes bad or sometimes good
18:57 libsysguy wahanui: this time bad
18:57 wahanui libsysguy: huh?
18:58 cait hm holds without trnasports seems to work nice
18:58 I was doing that a lot lately
18:58 returning from there and holds got picked up
18:59 perhaps transports are a problem?

19:27 * cait puts a bowl of cookies in the middle of #koha
19:27 cait so silent for a friday
19:28 jcamins_away Mmm.
19:28 * libsysguy takes a cookie
19:28 libsysguy wahanui can you tell us a story?
19:28 wahanui libsysguy: i don't know
19:29 jcamins_away I would love to bake tonight, but unfortunately I have to read the other half of this book on the sons of parish priests in late Imperial Russia.
19:31 cait sounds....
19:31 very academic
19:31 jcamins_away It's pretty fast, thankfully.
19:37 rhcl jcamins_away: are you reading it in old church slavonic?
19:37 rangi morning
19:38 rhcl afternoon
19:38 libsysguy afternoon indeed
19:38 cait morning rangi
19:39 jcamins_away rhcl: nope. Thankfully it's in English.
19:39 rhcl can you read ocs?
19:40 jcamins_away Otherwise finishing the 220 page book between yesterday and today would have been problematic, in light of the fact that I'm out pretty much all day both days.
19:40 Nope.
19:40 cait why are you reading it?
19:41 rhcl http://www.ewrd.com/ewrd/index[…]qsCFcsBQAodE2yG7w
19:41 francharb left #koha
19:41 jcamins_away For class.
19:41 andersonbd1 I'm up and running having just installed.  I have no data or anything, but I wanted to see how koha acts as an oai-pmh repository because our project (eXtensible catalog) needs to be able to harvest from koha.
19:42 I enabled oai-pmh here:http://ubuntu:8080/cgi-bin/koh[…]?tab=web_services
19:42 and then attempted this query: http://ubuntu:8080/cgi-bin/koh[…].pl?verb=Identify
19:42 jcamins_away rhcl: perhaps one day I'll take a speed reading course. I'm a pretty fast reader already.
19:42 andersonbd1 but I get a 404
19:43 jcamins_away That doesn't seem right to me.
19:43 andersonbd1 am I using the right url for oai-pmh?  do I need to configure it somehow?
19:43 jcamins_away I think it should just be http://ubuntu/...
19:44 I'm not 100% sure, but that just seems wrong, that OAI would be on the staff interface.
19:44 andersonbd1 aha - thanks
19:47 ok - so now I go to http://ubuntu/cgi-bin/koha/oai[…]stMetadataFormats and get http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=SU52snk3
19:47 what's up with "<metadataNamespace>http://www.loc.gov/MARC21/slim http://www.loc.gov/ standards/marcxml/schema/MAR​C21slim</metadataNamespace>" ?
19:49 jcamins_away I don't know anything about OAI, but that sounds like the MARC21slim XML schema namespace?
19:49 (as opposed to the other MARC21 XML schema, I mean)
19:49 andersonbd1 I would expect it to be <metadataNamespace>http://www.loc.gov/MARC21/slim http://www.loc.gov/ standards/marcxml/schema/MAR​C21slim</metadataNamespace>
19:50 whoops - that last copy was wrong
19:50 I would expect it to be <metadataNamespace>http://www.loc.gov/MARC21/slim</metadataNamespace>
19:50 jcamins_away Ah.
19:50 Report a bug?
19:50 andersonbd1 ok - will do
19:50 jcamins_away If it is one, and I presume it is since you're finding it problematic.
19:51 andersonbd1 and if it's not - someone will explain why it's not there?
19:52 jcamins_away Right.
19:55 Ugh. This MARC editor.
19:56 I hit Alt-Space (I think), and it followed a link, erasing all my changes.
20:01 Guillaume joined #koha
20:04 jcamins_away One day I will have time to finish my simple cataloging interface, and it will be glorious.
20:04 cait hehe
20:05 jcamins_away Or we'll have DOM indexing so that I don't need to worry about authorities, and I'll start using pianohacker's direct MARC interface.
20:06 That would be glorious, too.
20:06 cait :)
20:08 jcamins_away Has that been committed yet?
20:08 oleonard No
20:09 I did a quick test, but nothing which could justify a signoff
20:09 * oleonard thinks the ball is in jcamins_away's court ;)
20:10 * jcamins_away thinks chances are not good for it getting into 3.6, then.
20:11 oleonard Besides needing the basic functionality tested, we still need a good way to offer both alternatives to the user
20:11 jcamins_away The only way I could justify the time to test it would be if I could actually use the feature for actual cataloging.
20:12 (and due to the authorities issue, I couldn't)
20:13 Ah, yeah, definitely need to offer an alternative.
20:15 That's right, there was a redirect to access the direct MARC entry page in the first version.
20:19 oleonard Happy weekend #koha
20:19 jcamins_away He sure does sign out quickly.
20:19 cait yep
20:20 jcamins_away Not that I blame him.
20:20 If I got weekends, I'd probably go rushing off to enjoy them too.
20:20 cait aw
20:20 you don't enjoy spending time with us?
20:21 jcamins_away No, I do. :)
20:21 But if I had weekends I'd do things like leave the city.
