08:30 Carl430 Hi there!
08:30 I have a question about multiple card numbers.
08:30 kf ask )
08:30 * rangi waits
08:30 kf :)
08:31 Carl430 well, do you use "Additional attributes and identifiers"?
08:31 or, how do you insert several card numbers?
08:32 rangi you want mulitple cardnumbers for a single borrower?
08:32 why?
08:32 Carl430 well, our patrons have several card numbers today. :-)
08:32 rangi why?
08:32 Carl430 good question...
08:33 kf Carl430: that will not work with koha
08:33 Carl430 ok
08:33 kf one cardnumber for each borrower
08:33 Carl430 ok
08:33 kf you can use the opac-login for another username in opac
08:33 rangi its the unique identifier for a borrower
08:33 kf so they can log in with cardnumber + password and opac login + password
08:33 Carl430 aha
08:33 kf but circulation will only work with cardnumber
08:33 rangi you could store the other cardnumbers in a notes field if you wanted
08:34 but it would just be informational only
08:34 they wouldnt be used for anything
08:34 Carl430 notes field... ok, just information
08:34 not for use
08:34 I understand
08:34 we have to contemplate this matter I guess...
08:35 rangi what im wondering is what you would use multiple cardnumbers for?
08:36 Carl430 well, today our student use their library card, but also their campus card
08:36 it's a long story
08:37 rangi you could use the campus card for their userid, so they could login to the opac, and you can checkout using their name (if they dont have their library card on them)
08:37 or just pick one :-)
08:37 Carl430 yes
08:37 ok, thank you for quick feedback!
08:38 cheers from Sweden!
08:38 rangi ;)

09:17 rangi and matts :)
09:18 matts hello !
09:20 magnuse kia ora!
09:21 kf hi matts
09:34 magnuse wish me luck for tuesday and wednesday - i'll be giving a crash course in installing and maintaining koha to 2 or 3 people from University of Juba...
09:35 rangi ohh, with the packages i hope?
09:36 magnuse no, we'll run through a manual install, as an opportunity to look at the different bits and pieces that make up an installation
09:36 with the packages it would be done in 5 minutes... ;-)
09:37 rangi as it should be :)
09:37 magnuse yeah, but just doing "sudp apt-get install koha" doesn't give you much to go if something fails...
09:38 rangi yep, so you could teach them about logs, and where to look to debug if the install failed
09:38 magnuse yeah, stuff like that
09:39 kf good luck :)
09:39 magnuse thanks
10:05 kf lunch time

12:22 kf tcohen: I think it needs testing

12:23 kf tcohen: wrong status? if it has not been tested you should set it back to needs signoff and perhaps ask around to find someone to test it

13:46 oleonard Hi sekjal, wizzyrea
13:46 sekjal morning, oleonard
13:47 wizzyrea oleonard: that guy has CRAZY email requirements in the first place
13:47 a very draconian setup
13:47 (the email servers they use, I mean)
13:49 I just realized I don't think there is any documentation on managing purchase suggestions
13:49 oleonard http://koha-community.org/docu[…]ual-en/?ch=x10375
13:50 wizzyrea that page doesn't load for me :(
13:50 but it might be me
13:51 oleonard If the web site had a grudge against anyone for messing around with its private parts, it would be you wizzyrea
13:51 maximep joined #koha

13:51 in fact I know it's me
13:51 sheesh
13:53 you gonna send him that link or you want me to? now that my computer has gotten it's mind back.
13:53 * oleonard did
13:53 wizzyrea spectacular
13:54 oleonard++
14:05 jwagner I tried responding to him a couple of times, but the listserv seems to be holding up my email for moderator approval, sigh.  Guess it doesn't like the screenshots he included
14:05 wizzyrea urf
14:05 oleonard Trim your reply?
14:05 jwagner Next time I will....
14:06 wizzyrea I helped him with his email thing, which they ended up doing local changes for (sheesh)
14:06 but, the patch I sent to help his problem did help them fix it, in the end
14:06 (for patron suggestions)
14:06 no

17:05 libsysguy anybody know whats up with the GetIssuingRule function
17:06 sekjal libsysguy:  how do you mean?
17:08 libsysguy well there is this really terrible comment in a FixMe
17:09 I was only looking at it because it was giving me the all/all/all rule for an item that has a clearly defined rule
17:09 sekjal hmmm.  is the branch code portion of it pulling from the expected place?
17:09 branch could mean homebranch, holdingbranch or patron branch, depending on your settings
17:10 libsysguy that is what i was just about to run a check on and see exactly what its getting passed
17:16 hmm the itemtype is blank...odd
17:16 guess that would do it
17:19 Brooke joined #koha
17:19 Brooke 0/
17:21 libsysguy sekjal I need some advice
17:22 I am passing an item to calcfine just like it needs...but it is calling for $item->{itemtype}...but in the database its itype
17:22 is it should read $item->{itype}
17:22 but if I change it...it could break some other parts of Koha
17:23 I think the only other place that CalcFine gets used is in the fines script
17:23 but I'm not sure
17:23 * Brooke hands libsysguy a cookie for bravery.
17:23 * libsysguy accepts cookie :)
17:24 Brooke perhaps the schema might show what would break?
17:25 libsysguy the db schema or does the codebase have a schema?
17:25 Brooke although the caveat I think would be should and does
17:25 erm lemme look up the thinger that folks just posted someplace...
17:25 but sekjal is of course better ;)
17:26 libsysguy haha well you know...I always look to sekjal for solid advice that will keep me out of trouble
17:26 Brooke http://schema.koha-community.org/index.html
17:27 thankfully we have redundant keep you out of trouble mentors like gmcharlt and chris in the multiplicity of chrisness
17:27 cait joined #koha
17:27 Brooke 0/
17:27 libsysguy oh yeah the db schema...yeah I wish it was just a DB thing...but I need to know where its used in the codebase :'(
17:27 to grep
17:27 sekjal libsysguy:  sorry, had to duck out.  back
17:27 libsysguy its cool
17:28 cait hi there
17:28 libsysguy so it looks like the Getoverdues function aliases that column to itemtype
17:28 ...frustrating
17:28 sekjal libsysguy:  are you on the hourly loans branch, or master, for this?
17:28 libsysguy hourly
17:29 I was attempting to implement that click to fine function on a checkin
17:29 if I could get this piece done I would be golden
17:29 sekjal what line is the call to $items->{itemtype} on, in what file?
17:29 libsysguy with no additional queries :D
17:29 its in OVerdues.pm
17:29 Overdues**
17:29 and the function is in CalcFine
17:30 sekjal looking
17:30 libsysguy it looks like that function only gets called in a test module and in the fines script
17:31 so I think it would be safe to remove that alias
17:32 sekjal yeah, not sure why it's renaming itype to itemtype
17:33 libsysguy me either but its causing me pain
17:33 sekjal that doesn't really seem necessary, and only creates confusion
17:33 Oak Hello Brooke !!
17:33 heya cait
17:33 * Brooke hugs Oak
17:33 libsysguy agreed...for now on my local branch I'll remove it
17:33 Oak :]
17:33 libsysguy I'm not going to commit any of this until hourly is ready to go into master
17:33 jcamins It's renaming itype to itemtype so that item-level and bib-level itemtypes will both work.
17:34 libsysguy ohh...hmm
17:34 * Oak just watched New York, I Love You. again.
17:34 cait hi Oak
17:35 sekjal ah, yes... if I'd read more than just the single SQL statement...
17:35 libsysguy haha its ok thats all I was looking at too
17:35 sekjal renaming it makes the output consistent regardless of what the setting for item-level_itypes is
17:36 libsysguy so is there anything I can do?
17:37 sekjal I don't really see what you'd need to change
17:37 Getoverdues outputs the item type as "itemtype" instead of "itype", and that's just slurped in by CalcFine
17:38 libsysguy right...but if I am using calcfine from another function that doesn't have that alias
17:38 sekjal so you'd just need to put a 'itemtype' key in the hashref you feed CalcFine
17:38 libsysguy i suppose I ....yeah taht
17:38 sekjal or add a fallback line in CalcFine to try "itype" if "itemtype" is undefined
17:39 libsysguy that may be a better solution
17:39 wizzyrea so, do we consider the packages acceptable for adding them to the download page on k-c.org?
17:40 I wonder if we should be encouraging their use from there.
17:40 (i'm almost sure we should be)
17:42 matts_away joined #koha
17:43 jcamins wizzyrea: I'd think so, yes.
17:43 wizzyrea At the very least, I think we should say "pakages for debian are available"
17:43 and link
17:44 jcamins Agreed.
17:46 wizzyrea http://koha-community.org/download-koha/
17:47 jcamins Take out the (Experimental) Debian packages for Koha?
17:48 wizzyrea yea I just saw that, it's gone now
17:48 with the caveat that I haven't cleared the cache
17:48 so you might still see it

18:30 fcapo Repeating a previous question : Are there any usage restrictions on the Koha logo? ie. is the Koha logo under an open license?
18:31 wizzyrea tricky question, imo
18:32 rangi You are welcome to download and use these logos/graphics for the promotion and publicity of the Koha Library System. You may not use them for any other purpose.
18:32 wizzyrea potentially weird TM ramifications in the US
18:32 rangi is what rachel, who designed the logo released them as
18:32 wizzyrea there you have it
18:32 anywhere else, and you're probably cool.
18:33 Brooke morning Mr. Rangi.
18:33 rangi morning
18:33 fcapo ok, thanks.
18:33 * oleonard wonders what lawyers would make of that "license"
18:34 fcapo Would be useful to have that written somewhere. In wikipedia, it seems the default "This image is under copyright" is used.
18:35 oleonard It is under copyright, but with certain uses allowed (as I understand it)
18:36 rangi thats pretty much how all licenses work

19:11 o/ Brooke
19:14 oleonard talljoy: My search doesn't turn up any references to it
19:15 talljoy I think I'm dealing with an archaic Koha.  museum piece.  ;)
19:15 or a customization.
19:16 cait never heard of it, but doesn't mean much :)
19:17 wizzyrea well we could look for it in 2.2 I guess
19:17 sekjal callnumber can be searched with Zebra: callnum,wrdl: <<term>>
19:18 juan_sieira_ joined #koha
19:19 wizzyrea talljoy: what directory is it in?
19:19 oleonard "Your branch and 'origin/master' have diverged,and have 1 and 1875 different commit(s) each, respectively" Hmph.

20:27 wizzyrea did you do something really good at the last minute that totally saved the day?
20:27 because that's what it means in a nutshell
20:28 cait wizzyrea: no, we are talking about real baseball here
20:28 wizzyrea oh
20:28 cait I know someone who did it
20:28 wizzyrea Ooo
20:28 then they did something really good at the last minute that scored 4 runs
20:28 thd-away` joined #koha
20:28 wizzyrea where "last minute" = with 2 players "out" out of 3 possible.
20:29 * wizzyrea is probably not helping
20:29 will be quiet
20:29 * cait sends liz more cookies
20:29 cait no, you are very helpful

20:48 wizzyrea i'm looking at bug 6488
20:48 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6488 normal, PATCH-Sent, ---, srdjan, ASSIGNED , opachiddenitems not working in master
20:48 wizzyrea but I'm a bit unclear on what he means when he says "holes"
20:48 I see that if you hide all of the items on a bib, the bib still shows
20:48 that seems ok
20:49 cait hm Ithought it meant the counting would be wrong
20:49 like jumping numbers or something
20:49 wizzyrea yea, I didn't understand
20:49 oh, that could be...
20:49 let me check
20:50 yes, cait
20:50 that's totally it
20:50 thank you
20:50 now, do I care?
20:50 * wizzyrea thinks about it
20:51 cait is it better than before?
20:51 wizzyrea well the hiding works
20:51 cait does it break something or is horrible confusing?
20:51 * wizzyrea resets brain to patron
20:51 cait lol
20:51 * cait imainges liz pushing a little button on her head
20:51 wizzyrea http://screencast.com/t/iQiINclQi1S
20:52 that's what it looks like
20:52 no, I don't think it's confusing
20:52 why do they have numbers in the first place?
20:52 i mean, it's confusing that it's skipping numbers, but only if you're looking for it
20:53 and strictly speaking
20:53 ketchup safe?
20:53 wizzyrea it's not showing the preference number of items per page
20:53 buuut
20:53 again, do we care?
20:54 if we do, I can't pass it
20:54 does that count as a regression?
20:55 cait hi rhcl: safe? :)
20:55 rhcl reference to something wizzyrea said earlier that invoked ketchup safe mode
20:55 wizzyrea what'd I do?
20:56 cait ketchup safe mode?
20:56 not sure being named ketchup is very safe, you could get eaten by accident
20:56 * wizzyrea ponders slathering rhcl all over a hotdog
20:56 wizzyrea then dipping fries
20:56 actually
20:56 I don't really like ketchup :P
20:57 cait wizzyrea: I think it is a little confusing, but better than not hiding things
20:57 perhapsmake it an enhancement to correct the numbering?
20:57 rhcl I can also be mustard
20:57 wizzyrea I do like mustard
20:58 rhcl but I'm spicy brown mustard, must use with care
20:58 rangi fredericd: bug 6755 needs to get a sign off, then pass qa, then ill look at it again

21:05 wizzyrea @later tell magnuse I got the gamification book ;) (and thanks for the coupon!)
21:05 huginn wizzyrea: The operation succeeded.
21:05 wizzyrea manguse just won't work.
21:05 stupid spelling.
21:06 cait hehe
21:16 wizzyrea alright, for opachiddenitems
21:16 if you hide *all* of the items
21:16 do you still want to see the bib?
21:16 man, i'd like to sign off on this but I don't think I can :/
21:17 sekjal if you want to hide the bib, set 942$n = 1
21:17 wizzyrea I knew that
21:17 but
21:17 if you have a bib and all items are suppressed...
21:17 you think it's ok to still see the 'no holdings' bib?
21:18 sekjal could still have 856$u
21:18 or serial holdings
21:18 wizzyrea that would be one case where you wouldn't want that behaviour, for sure
21:19 rangi well if you have chosen to hide all the items
21:19 not hide the bib
21:19 i think you have chosen to show the bib and not the items
21:19 otherwise you'd just do what sekjal said
21:19 942n
21:20 wizzyrea well here's what I'm thinking
21:20 and you can totally shoot me down
21:20 and you probably will
21:20 ;)
21:20 but item suppression is kind of automatic
21:20 you give it a class of items to hide
21:20 and it hides them all
21:20 bib suppression is manual
21:20 you have to go set it
21:21 so
21:21 what I'm seeing, for example
21:21 is what if you suppress a class of items
21:21 cait I am not going to shoot you, because that makes sense so far :)
21:21 rangi what if you want to show a bib and not its items
21:21 wizzyrea you may or may not know that all of the items are suppressed
21:21 rangi how would you do it, if it starting hiding your bibs
21:22 wizzyrea so you'd have unintentionally empty bibs set out there
21:22 rangi or unintentionally hidden biblios in the other case
21:22 wizzyrea yea, so you're pretty well damned if you do damned if you don't
21:22 rangi if you were gonna do it right
21:22 you'd have an option
21:23 hide biblios with all items hidden
21:23 but even then, you still mgith want to show some and not others
21:23 wizzyrea "set the 942$n = 1 when all bibs will be hidden"
21:23 "or don't"
21:23 rangi yeah
21:24 wizzyrea but you see my conundrum
21:24 rangi i personally think the syspref and code is to hide items
21:24 not to hide biblios
21:24 so you are scope creeping it
21:24 wizzyrea that's fair
21:24 rangi and another bug to offer the option to hide biblios when all items are hidden would be a goodish approach
21:25 wizzyrea I can definitely envision a scenario in NExpress where hiding the items would leave empty bibs
21:25 rangi yup
21:25 wizzyrea but it might be a people problem
21:25 (bad cataloging)
21:25 rangi but that might not be a bad thing
21:25 because the biblio might have an ebook link
21:25 wizzyrea (i.e. if people would use the right framework for their ILL, it'd never show up in the first place)
21:26 no an empty bib isn't inherently bad
21:26 I get that
21:26 rangi so i dont think we can automatically hide them, i think that would be worse than having empty
21:26 specially since you might never find out they arent showing up
21:26 wizzyrea an empty bib that confuses patrons -> i.e. "do they have this? it looks like they should... but I can't have it" is bad.
21:27 but, probably not in the scope of this particular patch
21:27 ok I feel better now.
21:28 cait hm
21:29 I think empty bibs are bad
21:29 and it would be nice to be able to hide them
21:29 but perhaps should be an option
21:29 wizzyrea you can hide them, with the 942$n = 1
21:29 cait in german catalogs an ebook would always have it's own record
21:29 wizzyrea but it's not automatic
21:29 Guillaume joined #koha
21:29 cait and if all items are damaged or lost and you want to hide those, the print records should be hidden too
21:29 wizzyrea: worse, it doesnot work with our union catlaog setting
21:30 because the 942 $n would be overwritten
21:30 wizzyrea oof
21:30 cait when something in the record is changed on union catalog level
21:30 so hiding it with hidiing items would be cool :)
21:30 but I can see it as an enh
21:30 or make it possible to secure fields from being overwritten during import
21:31 wizzyrea well I think the question of "pass or don't pass this patch"
21:31 has been answered
21:31 hmm.
21:31 except for the thing about the numbering.
21:32 cait but this thing about the numbering happens because it's hiding biblios... right?
21:32 * wizzyrea doesn't fully understand what the deal is with the numbering
21:34 wizzyrea actually, I can't make it show the right numbering ever?
21:35 * wizzyrea tries again
21:37 cait if you undo the hiding thing, does it cound normally=
21:37 ?
21:37 and sleep time
21:37 wizzyrea no
21:37 cait good night #koha
21:37 weird!
21:37 wizzyrea gnite
21:37 yea
21:37 weird.
