Time Nick Message
00:01 eythian @later tell NateC we had Abrakebabra for lunch. Just sayin'
00:01 huginn eythian: The operation succeeded.
00:03 rangi heh
00:03 BobB joined #koha
00:19 Soupermanito joined #koha

01:20 wajasu my master git pull, dev install, has koha-httpd.conf  with   ScriptAlias /search "/home/koha344/prj/kohaclone/opac/opac-search.pl"  in the opac section.  but what should it be for the Intranet section.  "/home/koha344/prj/kohaclone/search.pl"  or maybe "/home/koha344/prj/kohaclone/catalogue/search.pl"  (the 1st isnt there). or am i misconfigured.
01:21 i was comparin my 3.4.4 install to the master dev install.
01:28 and what should mt ScriptAlias be for /cgi-bin/koha/ in my intranet section?
01:29 jcamins_away wajasu: what's wrong with the koha-httpd.conf that comes with Koha?
01:30 It seems to me using the supplied one would be a lot easier and a lot less error-prone.
01:33 wajasu i don't have the a2enmod, a2ensite apache tools (archlinux apache httpd server).  so i always have to teak my own.  i really have to add <Directory "/home/koha344/prj/kohaclone ... ">   direftive the file to get access, since everything is denied by default.
01:34 jcamins_away wajasu: couldn't you just do the traditional ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/koha /etc/apache2/sites-enabled ?
01:36 wajasu but when i was inspecting the ScriptAlias entries, i saw the intranet Virtualhost  had ScriptAlias /search "/home/koha344/prj/kohaclone/search.pl"  for my dev install.  i'm trying to do a patch tonight.   and archlinnux doesn't have /etc/apache2...
01:37 jcamins_away You must have Apache configuration files somewhere...
01:38 wajasu i have /etc/httpd/conf/...  but no sites-available or sites-enabled.
01:38 jcamins_away Okay, just stick it in /etc/httpd/conf.
01:39 wajasu i linked that up fine.( ln -s).
01:39 jcamins_away Then enable mod_rewrite and you should be good to go.
01:39 wajasu what i an saying is:  do you have /search working for intranet at :8080?
01:39 jcamins_away Ah.
01:39 Probably not.
01:40 eythian No, I don't think that's required
01:40 jcamins_away Nope.
01:40 eythian: mod_rewrite isn't required?
01:40 The instructions say to enable it.
01:40 wajasu: that is, no, /search doesn't do anything.
01:40 eythian rewrite is different
01:41 the /search thing isn't required
01:41 jcamins_away Oh. Gotcha.
01:41 * jcamins_away is a bit tired.
01:41 eythian although I note it is set up for the staff client
01:41 wajasu its an old vestigal organ from days gone by.
01:41 eythian ScriptAlias /search "/usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/search.pl"
01:42 it allows things like: RewriteRule ^/isbn/([^\/]*)/?$ /search?q=isbn:$1 [PT]
01:44 wajasu ScriptAlias /search "/home/koha344/prj/kohaclone/search.pl"   is what my dev install (master pull) has.  which points to nothing, unless a rewrite handle that.
01:44 eythian ls: cannot access /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/search.pl: No such file or directory
01:44 same here
01:44 I suspect it's been long broken
01:44 and no one has ever tried to use it
01:44 wajasu thats what i am saying!
01:45 jcamins_away wajasu: sorry, I thought you were trying to write your own Apache config.
01:45 eythian So I think you'd be fine not setting it at all.
01:45 wajasu i'm about to run my master git pull, which will update, and was wiring up things and saw the discrepency.
01:45 eythian oh, me too
01:45 wajasu sorry. i just noticed it changed since 3.4.4
01:49 i also notice when i do a single or a dev install, my zebra-biblios.cfg, zebra-authorites.cfg and zebra-authorities-dom.cfg don't change the ModulesPath with my prefix.  Is that OK. Probably typical.  I change them to  /home/koha344/usr/lib/idzebra-2.0/modules.  I wish they got the /home/koha344 prefix put before /usr/lib/idzebra-2.0/modules lke everywhere else in the .cfg
01:50 rangi hmm that line is there in the 3.4.4 as well, in etc/koha-httpd.conf
01:50 eythian wajasu: the modules are defined by where you install zebra to, right?
01:50 so how could the koha installer change them?
01:50 wajasu true
01:50 eythian If I do a dev install, my modules are still in /usr/lib/...
01:52 it should really be defined by something in /etc that can be overridden on a case-by-case basis
01:54 wajasu it could only handle that if we put another question in the installer, or assume if i have a different prefix, that it would be consistent.
01:54 eythian everyone has a different prefix for dev installs
01:55 wajasu maybe another question in the installer for single and dev installs.
01:55 eythian or just install your zebra into the system location and have it not be a problem :)
01:56 wajasu true.
01:56 jcamins_away @later tell nengard This may sound kind of obvious, but a video on how to change your own password in Koha might not be a bad idea.
01:56 huginn jcamins_away: The operation succeeded.
01:58 wajasu if my DocumentRoot for opac is /home/koha344/prj/kohaclone/koha-tmpl   will that give them access to intranet-tmpl too?  I'll try.
02:01 eythian they don't run the files in -tmpl.
02:01 wajasu oh i see
02:01 its the cgi-bin stuff that matters
02:02 eythian yeah
02:04 wajasu so the cgi-bin for the intranet is?  .../kohaclone?
02:04 i get that the opac is .../kohaclone/opac
02:08 eythian joined #koha
02:32 wajasu trying to access the staff client, but get  Software error: Can't locate DBI.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /home/koha344/prj/kohaclone /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/share/perl5/site_perl   ...
02:33 jcamins_away Sounds like you're missing some Perl modules.
02:33 * eythian still thinks that running Debian would make life so much easier than Arch ;)
02:34 wajasu its the same user account as my 3.4.4 install, with its ~/.cpan that perlbrew populated.  I have none missing, when i run koha_perl_deps.pl
02:34 jcamins_away Heh.
02:34 * jcamins_away agrees.
02:34 jcamins_away In that case, sounds like you need to add something to PERL5LIB.
02:35 No idea what.
02:35 wajasu maybe the PERL5LIB in koha_httpd.conf
02:35 jcamins_away Just speculating.
02:35 Yeah, that was my thought.
02:35 wajasu can i add multiple paths to that
02:35 jcamins_away I don't know.
02:35 Probably?
02:35 wahanui Probably is mate, Im not running the latest version on here.
02:36 eythian yes
02:36 wajasu i'll try to add my perlbrew based cpan
02:36 * eythian pats apt-get on the head. It's a good puppy.
02:37 wajasu and include the current one so i can get kohaclone/C4
02:39 sekjal joined #koha
02:40 * jcamins_away waves to sekjal.
02:41 sekjal hi, jcamins_away
02:43 jcamins_away Has anyone ever done an online survey for evaluating Koha?
02:44 Like, some sort of usability evaluation type thing.
02:50 * jcamins_away leaves everyone to ponder that thought, and goes to get some sleep.
02:50 jcamins_away Good night, #koha

12:48 kf happy friday oleonard :)
12:51 * oleonard could have sworn he fixed Bug 6947 once before
12:51 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6947 minor, P5, ---, ian.walls, NEW , OPAC top-issues doesn't respect item-level itypes

12:53 oleonard Different I guess.
12:53 sekjal joined #koha
12:55 oleonard Hm, so Bugzilla now lists rel_2_2, rel_3_0, rel_3_2, rel_3_4, rel_3_6, and Rel_3_8. And now my teeth hurt.

13:13 * oleonard wonders how kf managed to collect so much gold
13:15 paul_p joined #koha
13:19 * oleonard tries the KOCT in Firefox 7 but it doesn't appear to work
13:19 rh_at_lita koct?
13:19 oleonard https://addons.mozilla.org/en-[…]refox/addon/koct/
13:20 kf oleonard: gold digger genes?

13:31 maximep joined #koha
13:35 oleonard KOCT works in FF3.6, but it's really annoying that it doesn't save the patron barcode between transactions
13:36 maximep oleonard: thanks for the follow-up patch in bug 6945 =)
13:36 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6945 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, pelletiermaxime, ASSIGNED , Add a link to show a MARC preview in the normal view
13:36 oleonard Sure. I liked the idea to add the preview, so I was happy to contribute.
13:46 kf maximep: was happy to see the budget duplicate feature!
13:46 hope to find time testing it
13:46 lots of libraries have asked me about a feature like that when I was presenting acq
13:46 maximep cool! :D
13:47 paul_p oleonard, what do you mean by doesn't appear to work ?
13:48 oleonard When I enter a patron card and item barcode and click "save" nothing happens.
13:48 No message that anything has been added, nothing in the log
13:49 paul_p mmm... strange works for me (just checked)
13:49 I get the "1 row added", "2 rows added" ...
13:49 oleonard Really? I'll have to check again. It may be a compatibility issue with one of my other addons.
13:49 paul_p or mac ?
13:49 * oleonard has a password-manager addon that causes all kinds of trouble
13:52 jcamins Good morning, #koha
13:56 rhcl_lita jcamins
14:00 jcamins rhcl_lita: how's LITA?
14:00 (I gather that's where you are?)
14:10 rhcl_lita yep, at the preconference.  Session discussing cloud (Amazon AWS mostly), workshop on setting up instances and managing machines
14:10 discussion of vufind DSpace, etc
14:10 jcamins AWS is pretty nifty. Learning anything useful?
14:11 rhcl_lita Yep, I have been intending to setup something on Amazon for a while, and just haven't gotten around to it, but this session is encouraging me to do something.
14:13 jcamins rhcl_lita: one of the features that I find really intriguing is RDS. Seems like a great way to manage a database.
14:13 rhcl_lita Presenter just talked about that--does sound good
14:15 jcamins Also nifty is the fact that they now offer a memcached server.
14:16 rhcl_lita jineshvaria.s3.amazonaws.com/publ​ic/cloudbestpractices-jvaria.pdf
14:20 jcamins They're up to Firefox 7? That was fast.
14:20 wizzyrea ^^ this makes me annoyed.
14:20 * oleonard too
14:22 trea pushing minor revisions into a product, and giving said product a whole new version number is no bueno.
14:23 oleonard Reminds me of something, it does.
14:34 nengard can someone tell me the values that can be found in constrainttype in the reserves table and what they mean?
14:35 * wizzyrea wishes the kiwis were up, I have a packaging question
14:35 wizzyrea nengard, sec
14:36 jcamins wizzyrea: a packaging question? I always find that asking my packaging question of the channel at large is a sure-fire way to realize my question had an obvious answer. ;)
14:36 wizzyrea more to do with building packages
14:37 maximep well firefox7 has big memory usage improvements. I don't even remember if ff6 had anything new :S
14:37 wizzyrea recent benchmarks say that 7 is faster than chrome
14:38 which would be great, because JEBUS firefox was a dog for a while
14:38 rhcl_lita any lightning comments on vufind?
14:38 wizzyrea an old dog. That couldn't see.
14:39 jcamins wizzyrea: yeah, those are the questions that I always find the answer to immediately after revealing my ignorance.
14:39 maximep firefox is so much better for my use case of opening hundreds of tabs in tab groups. Chrome couldn't do that
14:39 wizzyrea speak to me of this "tab groups" feature
14:39 * wizzyrea is also a zillions of tabs type
14:39 jcamins maximep: that sounds like something wizzyrea could use.
14:39 sekjal can anyone here change the maximum attachment size in bugs.k-c.org?
14:39 wizzyrea ^^ see, they know me ;)
14:39 gmcharlt might be able to
14:39 ping gmcharlt
14:40 maximep for every projct I work on I create a new tab group. This way it's all organized and doesn't need to open all the tabs every time
14:40 jcamins Grr. I can't find this book.
14:40 sekjal I want to attach an example for bug 6789 to make it easier to test, but the test by it's nature requires a file larger than the current 1000KB limit
14:40 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6789 minor, P5, ---, ian.walls, ASSIGNED , Biblios with many items can result in broken search results links
14:40 maximep ctrl+shift+e is bery useful =)
14:41 wizzyrea this seems compelling.
14:41 sekjal - you could (temporarily) host it elsewhere and post a link?
14:41 not optimal, but doable
14:42 rhcl_lita @seen paul_p
14:42 huginn rhcl_lita: paul_p was last seen in #koha 52 minutes and 31 seconds ago: <paul_p> or mac ?
14:42 wizzyrea nengard the only constrainttype I'm seeing is 'a'
14:42 paul_p rhcl_lita, you need me ?
14:42 wizzyrea and as to what that means... good question
14:43 rhcl_lita do you have any libraries running vufind (realizing you are a Solr promoter)?  A Bangladesh library is the only one listed running Koha and VUfind.
14:43 http://vufind.org/wiki/installation_status
14:44 jcamins wizzyrea: by the way, what was your packaging question. I probably won't know the answer, but it's possible.
14:45 paul_p rhcl_lita, nope, we don't have anyone running vufind
14:45 nengard wizzyrea me too
14:45 do we know what 'a' is?
14:46 jcamins video idea added to my listr
14:46 list
14:46 * oleonard gives these tab groups things a try
14:46 sekjal wizzyrea:  done, added link on bug report back to ByWater site
14:48 wizzyrea sekjal: it at least lets you get the work done :)
14:50 nengard in the same table (reserves) any idea what goes in notificationdate and reminderdate? it's not when a notice is sent ? cause i just tried that
14:51 oleonard I don't think those are used nengard
14:51 huginn New commit(s) needsignoff: [Bug 6789] Biblios with many items can result in broken search results links <http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6789>
14:52 NateC_ joined #koha
14:53 nengard and finally in that table ? lowestPriority appears to always be 0
14:53 any idea what it's used for?
14:53 oleonard Is it for when you "pin" someone at the bottom of the holds list?
14:54 nengard then wouldn't their priority number show that?
14:54 let me try
14:55 oleonard i'm not sure pinning even works
14:55 fyi
14:56 wizzyrea certainly the buttons were messed up
14:56 eythian was supposed to be coming up for a fix for it... I can't remember if that got in
14:56 * wizzyrea checks
14:56 nengard the buttons move the person to the bottom but if i add someone else that new person goes below them
14:57 pinning sounds like the bottom person shoould stay at the bottom
14:57 anyway that field never changes in the db
14:57 it's always 0 for me
14:57 phone call time
14:59 wizzyrea same for me
15:05 reiveune left #koha
15:05 oleonard Left without saying goodbye!
15:06 reiveune joined #koha
15:06 wizzyrea yay reiveune is back!
15:06 reiveune not for a long time,
15:07 :) I'll be back
15:07 by
15:07 reiveune left #koha
15:09 wizzyrea oh there we go
15:09 at least he said goodbye that time.
15:09 :)
15:11 kf nengard: I think priority number would now show because it should always resort them to be the last - so changing numbers
15:12 hm scrolling down would be good... *sighs*
15:18 wizzyrea hi kf :)
15:18 glad you're back
15:21 Oak joined #koha
15:21 Oak hello #koha
15:21 rhcl_lita hi hi
15:22 Oak :) :)
15:23 slef oh wow. Is my nick feminine, masculine, or neutral?
15:23 Oak neutral I think
15:23 slef I didn't pick it. I never even considered this before.
15:23 kf I know the problem
15:24 wizzyrea neutral, in both cases.
15:24 :P
15:24 slef ok, I've put that in
15:24 melia joined #koha
15:24 alex_a left #koha
15:25 * oleonard pondered for a moment what feminine names start with "O"
15:25 Oak Olga
15:25 wizzyrea Olivia
15:25 slef Odd-job
15:25 wizzyrea Octavia
15:25 slef this is always one of two problems I have with gender/participation surveys... I don't really pay much attention to it
15:25 * jcamins considers his neutral. He could be "Joan Camins." Actually, he keeps on getting e-mails for her.
15:26 slef jcamins: I keep getting emails for a school near London.
15:26 rhcl_lita I think slef is masculine - sounds like a Scandinavian mythical character
15:27 oleonard Oh yeah, I've gotten emails for Orla Leonard
15:27 In particular because she puts in my email address when trying to reset her passwords
15:27 kf marc makes my brain hurt :(
15:27 jcamins That is not a name I've heard before.
15:27 slef rhcl_lita: actually, if you want to look at Scandinavians, SLEF is the Swedish Lutheran Evangelical Foundation; and I believe it's a word in Icelandic
15:27 jcamins kf: as it does to everyone's brain. :(
15:28 slef jcamins: there's a BBC reporter called Orla Guerin... was in the middle East last I remember
15:29 kf yeah, but it doesn't help when 3 different fields from union catalog end up in the same marc field :(
15:29 oleonard Uh oh, Orla hasn't updated her Twitter since August. Maybe because she can't reset her password?
15:29 kf @marc 581
15:29 huginn kf: A citation to or information about a publication that is a study or analysis of the described materials. (Repeatable) [a,z,3,6,8]
15:30 kf jcamins: can you shorten that to a label for me? plz? :)
15:31 jcamins: never mind, I think I found something
15:32 jcamins kf: I'd have to think about that a bit.
15:33 kf it's ok :)
15:33 no reason to make your brain hurt - I will ask the library what they want
15:33 jcamins :)
15:34 wizzyrea she sends them to your acpl email?
15:34 or your gmail
15:36 oleonard gmail
15:36 slef kf, jcamins: http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd5xx.html calls it "Publications About Described Materials Note" - not sure what copyright licence that's under, though.
15:37 jcamins slef: I think the problem is that it needs a _short_ label.
15:37 slef like how short?
15:37 Materials Publications Note?
15:38 * oleonard thinks we need a Tags component for Bugzilla
15:38 slef trouble is you lose meaning all the while
15:38 jcamins slef: yeah, that's the problem.
15:38 But I think that's the length kf was looking for.
15:39 Oak give it a nickname
15:40 jcamins Like "Ben"?
15:40 wizzyrea "tickles"
15:40 Oak how about Maria
15:40 hehe
15:40 tickles :)
15:42 jcamins Oy. I have a 10am and a 6:30pm on Monday.
15:42 Oak good luck!
15:43 jcamins Oak: they're not daunting meetings, just widely spaced.
15:43 Oak :) still, a meeting is a meeting
15:44 jcamins True.

15:46 rhcl_lita re: VUFind I love the 'text this' option in the catalog.
15:47 It saves paper, I don't have to find the scrap of paper I wrote on, and I don't have to wonder if I transposed the call number.
15:47 Wonder what that would cost for Koha?
15:49 jcamins rhcl_lita: talk to sekjal about it. He was working on it.
15:49 sekjal rhcl_lita:  we're looking at an SMS::Send::Driver-less way of doing SMS in Koha
15:50 don't have the estimate yet; it would likely involve us tracking the patron's cell provider
15:50 wizzyrea what i'm wondering
15:50 is why don't we use email
15:50 * oleonard thinks the scrap of paper would be cheaper, but he doesn't have a texting plan
15:50 wizzyrea to email sms's to phones
15:50 rhcl_lita why would you have to track the cell provider? Just have a pull down list and let the patron enter the cell phone number
15:50 wizzyrea put the info in the subject, done.
15:51 but you'd have to store that, right rhcl?
15:51 hence, tracking.
15:51 jcamins sekjal: ooh! I bet you left NYU before they implemented GetIt.
15:51 sekjal: one moment while I get you a link.
15:51 sekjal jcamins:  thanks
15:53 jcamins Hm.
15:53 * oleonard realizes if we added a Tags component to Bugzilla there would be no one to be default asignee
15:53 jcamins This is a bit problematic.
15:53 Oh, never mind, here's a short URL.
15:53 https://getit.library.nyu.edu/go/2694595
15:53 Note the "Send to phone" option on the right.
15:53 rhcl_lita sekjal:  why store? let the patron enter it, send the sms, then >/dev/null it.
15:54 jcamins Note that last I heard, the Send to phone service was _incredibly_ popular.
15:54 Even without any way to link it to the patron's account.
15:54 sekjal rhcl_lita:  that wouldn't be so bad; could control with an Auth Value
15:54 rhcl_lita oops, should have been directed to wizzyrea
15:55 wizzyrea meh
15:55 kf rhcl_lita: I think the problem is that someone has to pay for the sms - usually the sender
15:55 wizzyrea both, usually.
15:55 sekjal jcamins:  yes, we could do it just like NYU Bobst is doing
15:55 jcamins kf: in the US, it's possible to send it so that the recipient pays.
15:55 sekjal their mechanism sends the SMS over email
15:56 jcamins sekjal: exactly. It's really cool.
15:56 sekjal that's why you need to know the provider, so you know the email domain
15:56 rhcl_lita kf: humm, can't be nearly what ILL costs us.  And you could always email to sms via a gateway
15:56 wizzyrea idk why we don't just do emails in the first place.
15:57 kf rhcl_lita: not sure if things are different here
15:57 rhcl_lita: I only know of one ils here that can send sms and it requires you to buy 'batches' of sms, like buy 10000 text messages to be sent out
15:57 from a provider
15:57 rhcl_lita http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_SMS_gateways
15:57 kf at least it was like that when I asked a few years back on library congress
15:59 sekjal brb
15:59 rhcl_lita donno, seems pretty simple to me. Just get the input phone and service, pipe that into a script which creates an email and send.
16:01 kf rhcl_lita: you might be right - would be very cool

16:19 oleonard paul_p still around?
16:21 Or anyone who is familiar with the offline circ tool?
16:21 * oleonard is wondering about the buttons which say "Commit to Koha" and "Apply directly"...
16:21 jcamins Argh! When did Portrayed become Depicted?
16:22 wizzyrea oleonard the firefox addon?
16:22 oleonard Yeah
16:22 * wizzyrea has it installed
16:22 wizzyrea where do you see that?
16:23 oleonard The Log tab
16:26 Where does it save the data?
16:27 wizzyrea that is a very good question.
16:36 Oak http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]on_firefox_plugin
16:38 oleonard Yeah, that page shows a screenshot of a page in Koha which isn't actually in Koha as far as I can tell.
16:38 "Process pending offline circulations?"
16:40 maximep there's a ff plugin to do offline circ ? cool
16:41 no link to it on that wiki page ?
16:41 wizzyrea it's called KOCT
16:41 it's in the firefox plugin repository
16:41 oleonard Cool except it doesn't seem to work maximep
16:41 jcamins Koha Offline Circulation Tool?
16:41 (guessing what the acronym is)
16:41 oleonard Koha Offline Circulation Tool is https://addons.mozilla.org/en-[…]refox/addon/koct/
16:42 jcamins Ah, cool, I was right. :)
16:47 oleonard Koha Offline Circulation Tool?
16:47 wahanui Koha Offline Circulation Tool is https://addons.mozilla.org/en-[…]refox/addon/koct/
16:47 oleonard KOCT is Koha Offline Circulation Tool
16:47 KOCT?
16:47 wahanui KOCT is Koha Offline Circulation Tool
17:31 jcamins nengard_lunch: cn_sort is a normalized form of the itemcallnumber used for sorting.
17:33 nengard_lunch thanks
17:33 i'll add it
17:35 jcamins You're welcome. Enjoy lunch.
17:38 slef KOCT is also https://addons.mozilla.org/en-[…]refox/addon/koct/
17:38 wahanui okay, slef.
17:40 cait joined #koha
17:42 cait hi #koha
17:42 slef hi cait
17:43 cait hi slef :)
17:43 * slef prods this migrating Koha
17:45 cait ?
17:46 slef it's being a bit slow.... it's only 6kbiblios
17:50 cait not a lot
17:50 should load quickly?
17:50 slef yeah... I think I can see why they want a new server!
17:50 this is getting the data out which is being slow
17:56 aogle joined #koha
18:05 * oleonard-away idly wonders whether slef has ever been identified as S. Lef.
18:05 slef oleonard: NAFAIK
18:05 * cait wears her feminine nick tonight
18:29 oleonard I might be nice to have a database update log for keeping track of what updates have been applied via updatedatabase.pl
18:30 cait hm, would not be hard probably?
18:31 oleonard It would be relevant to only a small subset of users, but useful for developers and testers
18:31 cait yes
18:44 slef oleonard: like a table listing all update UUIDs, with updates just being SQL files added to a directory and maybe a tracking file.
18:47 oleonard joined #koha
18:49 maximep how do I make translatable strings in a .pl ?
18:49 is there a way ?
18:49 there's so many strings not translated that are in .pl files :/
18:49 oleonard Move them to the template
18:52 cait yep
18:52 maximep: all that should be in templates, not in the pl files
18:53 maximep C4::Letters::EnqueurLetter takes a parameter with the title and content of the message
18:53 I don't know how I could pu that in a template
18:54 cait hm
18:54 notices
18:54 normally it should be a template from tools > notices
18:54 that defines the subject and content
18:54 oleonard maximep: Consider filing a bug, "Move untranslatable strings into templates" and then create blocking bugs for each instance
18:54 cait are we talking about the address change mail?
18:55 maximep cait: ah, I see
18:55 yeah I remember using that
18:56 hankbank joined #koha
18:59 maximep I have never sent a patch with a database change (well, adding a new line in the letter table in this case) before
18:59 is there something on a wiki on this ?
19:00 cait there is
19:00 let me get the link for you
19:00 http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ng_Database_Files
19:02 what you have to do
19:02 create a patch with kohastructure.sql changed
19:02 and updatedatabase.pl with a new entry
19:02 leave version number at XXX in updatedatabase
19:03 for testing your patch yourself, change the xxx to be the next number and change kohversion.pl (I think) accordingly
19:03 when starting your koha it will compare the number from kohaversion to the number in your database and start the update
19:03 * cait hopes she explained that right
19:06 maximep yes you did
19:06 ok, then I will send a patch soon
19:06 or maybe several patches
19:07 just looked at that wiki page. You were a *lot* clearer than it lol
19:08 cait I tried :)
19:08 looked at it myself and decided I should try..,
19:09 what you can also do is find a nice easy patch to copy from - like a new syspref being added
19:09 to see which files have to be touched
19:17 * slef curses ISBD principles and all who sail in them.
19:17 jcamins slef: are they so bad as all that?
19:18 slef jcamins: yeah when people follow 95% of them.
19:18 they're just enough to cause trouble
19:19 jcamins Heh.
19:19 slef "Why haven't you converted these records correctly? We used ISBD punctuation rules." "Not on that one you didn't" "Oh"
19:23 cait lol
19:24 so give them a list to correct manually?
19:24 slef yeah... 5% of 6k is 300...
19:24 jcamins Pfft.
19:24 slef I'll give them a list. Doubt they'll correct them.
19:25 * slef leaves the import churning

19:27 wizzyrea does anybody know what the standard field for fines data is in SIP
19:27 it needs to be added to the output, apparently
19:28 (and yea, I know it puts fine data in the screen note - that's not the right place)
19:28 patron expiry, for the record, is in the wrong place as well.
19:28 (also in the screen note)
19:31 cait you mean the date?
19:31 and the fine amount?
19:33 wizzyrea yea
19:34 sekjal wizzyrea:  do you mean fee paid messaging?
19:40 wizzyrea as an example
19:44 pastebot "wizzyrea" at 24.124.17.146 pasted "SIP response example" (1 line) at http://paste.koha-community.org/65
19:44 wizzyrea that Patron owes $10.00
19:44 there's supposedly a field for the $10
19:45 so in envisionware
19:45 they have a rule you can make
19:45 fine owed equals
19:45 | greater than | less than
19:45 but that won't work
19:45 cait hm there is field with 10.00 in it
19:45 wizzyrea because the data isn't in the field EW is looking for
19:45 cait y|BLY|CQN|BV10.00|CC10|
19:46 wizzyrea cait++
19:46 * wizzyrea missed that
19:46 tries the rule again
19:46 wizzyrea i will laugh so. very. hard. if this works.
19:47 oleonard Happy weekend all
19:47 cait bye owen
19:47 wow, I managed to say bye to owen before he left!
19:47 * cait tries again
19:47 cait have a nice weekend oleonard
19:47 ok, now the world is back to normal :)
19:48 wizzyrea can I kiss you if this works, cait?
19:48 cait um
19:48 k?
19:50 sophie_m joined #koha
19:52 * wizzyrea kisses cait
19:52 * cait blushes
19:52 * wizzyrea bounces and squees
19:52 wizzyrea you know that feeling, when someone gets huffy with you and you know you tested it, and it worked the last time
19:53 and you think that you did it wrong or something, but it turns out you didn't
19:53 rangi no you can go
19:53 wizzyrea and you were right all along?
19:53 rangi "IN YOUR FACE!!!"
19:53 wizzyrea yes. That.
19:53 rangi yep i know that well
19:53 :)
19:53 cait of course
19:53 now you are showing up
19:53 wizzyrea thanks cait :)
19:53 cait when all the work is done :)
19:53 yvw liz :)
19:54 wizzyrea cait++ for her usual brilliance
19:54 cait hmpf
20:01 wizzyrea so, just in case you are wondering
20:01 for envisionware
20:02 http://screencast.com/t/yRm9nsmA
20:02 that's how you set up rules for patron expired, and block over x fines owed
