07:12 alex_a kf: \o
07:14 rangi hi paul_p and wb kf
07:15 kf hi all :)
07:15 paul_p hello rangi. is there some RWC11 matches in wellington ? Do you plan to go to see some ?
07:16 Guillaume joined #koha
07:16 rangi i went to the usa vs australia game
07:16 cant afford the quarter finals
07:17 magnuse :-(
07:17 rangi id go see england vs france
07:18 but that is in auckland
07:18 same as nz vs argentina
07:18 ireland vs wales and south africa vs australia in wellington
07:18 i dont want to pay 150 to see those games
07:19 alex_a rangi: and you'd want to pay 150 to see france ?
07:19 ;)
07:20 rangi they are due to bounce back, id love to see them beat england :)
07:20 teams i always like to see lose in rugby are, australia, south africa and england
07:20 :)
07:20 magnuse hehe
07:21 alex_a haha
07:21 paul_p rangi, so I fear you're right to save the 150bucks for FR-EN. Because i'm not sure at all that you would have seen frenchies winning... frankly, i wouldn't bet a penny on them...
07:21 alex_a but it seems unlikely
07:21 rangi yeah, not the way they are playing at the moment
07:22 paul_p what does newspapers say about french game ?
07:22 rangi mostly focusing on tonga, which i think is good
07:22 they did play way above what they normally play
07:22 paul_p (here, they say things like "they are the worst team ever: no plan, no leader, no revolt,..."
07:22 )
07:22 rangi dont want to detract from them by talking about french mistakes too much
07:23 i think, its the forwards
07:23 paul_p well, we loose against italy 5 months ago too, so it's not only Tonga playing better than usual.
07:23 rangi yup
07:25 i think the coach might be in trouble
07:26 paul_p I bet for a final England-New Zealand. And victory of new zealand by 20 points.
07:26 rangi hmm, i think wales nz
07:27 but you might be right
07:27 it will be boring rugby vs running rugby
07:27 paul_p I would be happy to see wales, but they may be feared by winning a semi-final for the 1st time ever. And miss their match.
07:28 boring rugby--, running rugby++, /me will be for NZ, definetly.
07:28 rangi england = kick, kick kick kick kick, run fall over lose the ball forward, kick kick kick
07:28 paul_p and even in case of France<>NZ final, i'm not sure I would be unhappy to see all blacks winning...
07:29 magnuse run run run fall down kick in the face
07:29 rangi lol
07:29 Guillaume left #koha
07:32 magnuse rea jr is my hero when it comes to sports commentary ;-)

11:29 huginn New commit(s) needsignoff: [Bug 6879] Actual price should show correctly on order line and basket summary <http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6879>
11:30 jwagner joined #koha
11:58 nengard joined #koha
12:02 collum joined #koha
12:23 oleonard joined #koha
12:24 kf nengard around?
12:24 nengard yup
12:24 :)
12:24 kf ah hi :)
12:24 I had talked to mpelletier on the chat before he sent his bugfix :)
12:24 I think he is only repairing the datail page, not the summary page
12:25 but it's an improvement
12:25 (actual price thingy)
12:25 the second screenshot is when you edit an order line
12:26 nengard kf ? oh!!! I get it, so you didn't close the basket - i tested on a closed basket so I didn't see the edit option
12:27 and I'll change the status to signed off then if that's just the first patch
12:27 kf it should still be noted
12:27 but happy to see it getting better :)
12:27 nengard oh wait - not i won't
12:28 hang on i'll put new images up there
12:29 kf ok
12:30 nengard updated
12:30 kf hmpf
12:30 have you tried the javascript thing?
12:30 nengard also, there is another bug report out there with a patch about storing actual price
12:30 kf perhaps it's still in cache?
12:31 there is one for not showing it as spent correctly - I had signed off on it
12:31 you had filed it
12:31 so glad someone else is testing acq - hope to get the most evil things out of it before release
12:32 nengard i tried shift refresh on the order line and it's still wrong
12:33 kf looking at the patch it seems not to change the javascript really, only relabeling some fields?
12:33 hm.
12:33 oleonard Hi #koha
12:34 kf he puts the unit price in there
12:34 which seems wrong
12:34 oleonard paul_p_ around?
12:36 kf nengard: hmmm - which field in the database is actual price saved to?
12:36 perhaps it IS unitprice
12:36 nengard unitprice
12:36 kf I am checkign our database right now and it looks right
12:36 ok
12:36 nengard I checked the db when testing
12:36 kf and that's what the patch does
12:36 nengard hi oleonard
12:36 kf weird it#s not working
12:36 hi oleonard .)
12:36 nengard it's not working cause that field isn't queried in the pages I think
12:36 * oleonard hands kf an eye patch
12:37 kf lol thx
12:37 nengard: ?
12:38 nengard kf, he only updated the template for neworderempty.tt
12:38 maybe the template for the other page doesn't actually look at the unitprice field in the database
12:38 kf yes, but it's not working there right?
12:38 oh, is the edit template different?
12:39 basket summary is wrong - his patch doesn't touch it
12:39 nengard oh ? duh
12:39 no you're right
12:39 it's the same template
12:39 maybe the edit is in the wrong place
12:39 i don't know
12:39 kf me neither
12:39 hm
12:39 oleonard might know
12:39 ...
12:40 bug 5516

12:40 bug 6879
12:40 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6879 critical, PATCH-Sent, ---, pelletiermaxime, ASSIGNED , Actual price should show correctly on order line and basket summary
12:42 oleonard What's the question?
12:43 kf why it doesn't work
12:44 because it looks so logical
12:44 oh
12:44 maybe something else is overwriting it ? the javascript calculation thing maybe?
12:48 sorry for not making much sense today
12:48 oleonard @later tell paul_p_ We should add the source for the KOCT to git
12:48 huginn oleonard: The operation succeeded.
12:48 * oleonard finds it's simple to hack the KOCT to remember the patron barcode between transactions
12:49 paul_p_ oleonard, true
12:49 (& good morning)
12:50 * paul_p was wondering wether we should add it to koha or to another git repo. We could have KOCT evolving with different timelines. For example, one could release KOCT v2.0 with a new design, i18n, ... in december
12:50 oleonard If I go to the funds page and I have no budgets, shouldn't I be warned that I have no budgets?
12:50 * paul_p vote for git.koha-community.org/koct.git project !
12:51 paul_p oleonard, if you have no budgets in the database yes. But if you just have no bugdet applicable to your login/branch/permission, not sure
12:51 kf oleonard: yes?
12:52 paul_p: I think an extra project would be ok for that
12:52 paul_p should I add a topic to the irc general meeting ?
12:52 kf paul_p: making it work for different firefox versions for example
12:52 paul_p: not the same timeline as our koha releases :)
12:53 nengard: are you going to mark failed qua?
12:53 nengard kf i did
12:53 yes
12:53 kf I see that now , - sorry
12:53 lots of things today
12:53 nengard no prob
12:53 i totally understand
12:53 it's only my first full week back at work, so i'm also trying to do too much at once :)
12:54 kf how is it gonig?
12:54 your hip and all :)
12:55 talljoy joined #koha
13:05 kf hi talljoy
13:07 talljoy hiya!
13:07 oleonard Was trying to test 6879 but I can't even create a new basket
13:08 brad joined #koha
13:08 jcamins Good morning, #koha.
13:08 oleonard Hi brad, jcamins
13:09 brad hello, Can anyone tell me what emailpro and phonepro are used for on the bulk patron import in Koha?
13:10 it is actually night here, Thailand
13:10 sekjal joined #koha
13:11 oleonard brad: They were originally defined as "work email" and "work phone" I think, but in the current version they're labeled "secondary"
13:11 kf oleonard: where are you stuck?
13:11 sometimes I wish you could edit your own comments in bugzilla :( typos--
13:11 trea joined #koha
13:11 kf hi trea
13:12 brad not stuck, just wanted to put the right data in the right place
13:12 oleonard kf: I'm on booksellers.pl and the supplier id isn't coming through to the template.
13:12 "new basket" link looks like this: basketheader.pl?booksellerid=&op=add_form
13:12 brad i thought it might be for the proffesional gauranteer
13:14 kf hm
13:14 I always create from the start page, searching all vendors
13:14 and then clicking new basket from the result list
13:14 brad the current version is still labled emailpro, i think the csv template is the same as the version from 2 years ago
13:14 kf another template toolkit thing I bet :(
13:14 like I said, good to get more people testing there
13:15 oleonard brad: I mean the label in the patron add form. The database table is still named emailpro
13:15 table column, that is
13:16 brad that's cool i didn't see it on the patron add form
13:16 emailpro
13:16 trea1 joined #koha
13:17 oleonard kf: I assumed it must be working for others if you and nengard are able to test the bug.
13:17 kf different way to create the basket
13:17 is my guess
13:18 do you have more than one vendor?
13:18 nengard what bug are we talking about
13:18 sorry was working
13:18 oleonard Working?!
13:18 * oleonard is outraged
13:18 kf oleonard: ok, I tested in 3.4.4 right now
13:19 vendor detail page > manage orders > new basket works for me there
13:19 brad just did a view source on the add patron page it is work email :-)
13:19 maximep joined #koha
13:19 kf vendor search result list > new basket works for me too
13:19 oleonard: where have you been looking?
13:20 oleonard I'm working with a fairly fresh database, just added a my first vendor. It got added with a NULL id!
13:20 brad thanks
13:21 have a good night :-)
13:21 maximep good morning #koha =)
13:22 oleonard That's why I couldn't add a basket
13:22 kf ouch
13:22 you didn#t name it null right?
13:22 because I did that once to test something with empty fields and got weird results :)
13:24 oleonard No, didn't name it null. But even though I've corrected my vendor entry I still can't create a basket. I wonder if my database is just messed up.
13:24 kf :(
13:24 what happens when you create a second vendor?
13:24 anything in the logs?
13:25 oleonard Hm, yeah... tons.
13:26 basketheader.pl: DBD::mysql::db do failed: Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails (`koha`.`aqbasket`, CONSTRAINT `aqbasket_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`booksellerid`) REFERENCES `aqbooksellers` (`id`) ON UPDATE CASCADE) at C4/Acquisition.pm line 188
13:31 kf huh
13:31 when creating a new vendor?
13:31 paul_p can anyone tell me how to activate Recent comments view for the OPAC (allow users to see recently reviewed) ? (which syspref probably ?)
13:31 I see that for the 1st time in 3.4.0 release notes !
13:32 kf paul_p: I think this is  a new featuer for 3.6 actually?
13:32 not aware of that in 3.4 - but might be wrong
13:32 paul_p kf, well, it's in the releases notes of 3.4.0 : http://koha-community.org/koha-3-4-0-released/
13:32 * paul_p not aware too ;-)
13:33 kf oh
13:33 paul_p kf, note in your agenda we will organize a European Hackfest #2 in Marseille in march 2012 ( exact dates tbd)
13:33 oleonard It's there and active, it just doesn't have a link
13:34 kf bug 4473
13:34 oleonard opac-showreviews.pl
13:34 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4473 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, oleonard, ASSIGNED , Recent comments view for the OPAC
13:34 kf paul_p: ah, march?
13:34 paul_p kf, yep
13:34 kf paul_p: have you seen kohacon might take place earlier next year?
13:35 I had hoped for something in autumn perhaps :)
13:35 paul_p april was a little bit too late.
13:35 kf, we saw (and I hope the KohaCon will take place un UK), that was the 2nd reason to set in march = 3 months before KohaCon
13:35 kf hm ok
13:36 paul_p we feel automn will be a little bit late/too far
13:36 kf I was thinking before the next release then
13:36 but first of all: great you are doing it again!
13:38 oleonard It's easy enough to add a "recent comments" link alongside "advanced search," "tag cloud," etc, but should it have a system preference?
13:38 paul_p oleonard, all other options have one, so I think yes.
13:39 I searched "recent" and "comments" in sysprefs, and could not find anything
13:40 kf paul_p: voting for a new system preference? ;)
13:40 but I agree - it's consistent
13:41 paul_p kf, yes, in french we say "exception confirm the rule" ;-)
13:41 ropuch Same in polish ;>
13:41 kf same in german too
13:41 'ausnahmen bestätigen die regel'
13:42 ropuch I have some encoding issue on this terminal, so Ill spare you polish version in original ;>
13:42 jcamins In English that's "the exception that proves the rule."
13:45 :)
13:48 kf :)
13:49 maximep nengard: looking at your last comment on bug 6879. I have no idea of why it wouldn't work for you, unless the patch didn't apply :S
13:49 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6879 critical, PATCH-Sent, ---, pelletiermaxime, ASSIGNED , Actual price should show correctly on order line and basket summary
13:50 maximep but if it didn't apply, it would show nothing. /me is confused
13:51 nengard hmm
13:51 let me try a different browser
13:53 maximep i just opened a new browser for the first time today and it's not showing ? i'm on mac and tested on FF7 and Chome
13:53 Chrome
13:53 not sure if that matters at all .. it shouldn't
13:53 maximep it's not showing ?
13:53 still 99?
13:54 kf nengard: perhaps check your git log?
13:54 to see if the patch is there
13:55 * oleonard is scatter-brained this morning
13:57 nengard oh my ? i know what it is
13:58 the patch wasn't a txt file when i first applied and didn't realize that bz apply didn't apply it :) hehe
13:58 but my question is this - how does it work with the other actual price patch?
13:58 do they clash?
13:58 maximep is there another?

14:00 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4831 critical, PATCH-Sent, ---, srdjan, ASSIGNED , Actual Price being ignored after receive
14:01 nengard maximep next time you attach a patch to a bug, check the box that says 'patch' so that bugzilla knows that it's a patch file and so that it works with git bz :)
14:01 maximep nengard: yeah, learned that. You have to show the advanced options to see that checkbox on the new bug page
14:01 so didn't see it at first :/
14:02 nengard no problem!
14:02 i was sleepy this morning and didn't notice it wasn't checked so that's why the patch didn't actually apply
14:02 maximep I think my patch was made after 4831
14:02 so it shouldnt clash
14:02 but there's some stuff I don't understand in those parts of the code
14:02 nengard but 4831 hasn't been pushed ? has it?
14:03 oh yes it has!
14:03 awsome
14:03 awesome
14:04 maximep nengard: should bug 6414 be marked as duplicate of 6879 ?
14:04 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6414 major, P5, ---, henridamien, NEW , actual price not recorded when ordering
14:04 nengard i think so
14:04 yes
14:06 kf oh
14:06 so you can do order and receive in one step then? right?
14:07 when you order and fill in the actual price at the same time?
14:07 because that would be neat :)
14:08 maximep my use case for doing the patch is after receiving the order
14:08 there was no way to change the actual price
14:08 kf yep
14:08 we are getting there in acq
14:09 maximep we have so many more patches in that section :/
14:09 kf maximep: do you have a repo for those?
14:09 new features or more bug fixes?
14:09 maximep no, but sending them in bug reports
14:10 both
14:11 kf I was thinking with a public repo perhaps some people could help porting them
14:11 maximep we can't do a public repo of our code
14:11 kf ok
14:11 maximep client picks what we can send
14:12 kf on another thing: I had someone suggesting a way to create a suggestion from a z39.50 search
14:12 like: search the staff interface > found nothing > click on z39.50 > don't import the record into the catalog, but make a suggestion from it
14:13 good or bad idea?
14:13 do we have a way to do that? and I missed it?
14:14 oleonard Do we even have a way for someone to create a suggestion from the staff interface?
14:14 wizzyrea errm
14:14 kf that's quite brilliant
14:14 that's a good idea
14:15 trea ^^
14:16 wizzyrea kf ,yes you can create a purchase suggestion
14:16 on /cgi-bin/koha/suggestion/suggestion.pl
14:16 "new purchase suggestion"
14:16 which you probably already found.
14:16 oleonard I'll bet you have to have suggestions management permission for that
14:16 wizzyrea probably
14:16 wahanui rumour has it probably is mate, Im not running the latest version on here
14:16 wizzyrea lol
14:16 forget probably
14:16 wahanui wizzyrea: I forgot probably
14:17 * wizzyrea considers the word probably
14:17 kf wizzyrea: but using an existing record or one from the reservoir?
14:17 oleonard Not only that, suggestion management is locked into acquisition management
14:17 kf oleonard: you can do new suggestions, but you can't use an existing record for that I think
14:17 or a downloaded one
14:17 wizzyrea no, that isn't curerently possible I don't think
14:17 http://screencast.com/t/tXSGto4tDmiS
14:17 suggestion management should be locked to cataloging
14:17 instead of ac
14:18 kf oleonard: not necessarily I think, only if you want to inform about ordered and available. (being locked)
14:18 wizzyrea acq
14:18 kf perhaps we need both workflows
14:18 keep it flexible
14:18 wizzyrea *nod*
14:18 kf we are creating items in acq and cataloging
14:18 and both makes sense
14:18 depending on the library using it
14:18 I am filing an enh :)
14:18 yu can do another about unlocking hehe
14:18 oleonard kf: I don't see a granular permission for just suggestions
14:18 kf oleonard: I don't think there is one
14:19 oleonard right, I'm saying that significantly limits the ability of staff to make suggestions
14:20 kf bug 6967
14:20 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6967 enhancement, P5, ---, henridamien, NEW , Create suggestion from z39.50 / existing records
14:20 wizzyrea making suggestions should be available to circ staff.
14:20 that's just how it is
14:21 patron says "hey do you have..." and staff says "no, let me put in your suggestion"
14:21 kf oleonard: not sure I can follow - what is the perm problem?
14:21 oleonard: do you need acq rights to access suggestions?
14:21 wizzyrea doh, I'm a circ clerk, i don't have perms
14:21 that's dumb.
14:21 kf ah
14:21 right
14:21 yep it should
14:21 wizzyrea we let patrons do that
14:21 PATRONS
14:21 kf or they would have to use the opac form
14:21 they could do that
14:22 or even be able to do a suggestion for a patron?
14:22 and what would be need to is add a hold for a book
14:22 wizzyrea right, but I don't think that's really fair
14:22 oleonard Hmm.... from suggestion.pl: flagsrequired   => { catalogue => 1 }
14:22 wizzyrea to ask the staff to log into the opac
14:22 kf for the person suggesting it
14:22 wizzyrea just to make a suggestion
14:22 certainly the staff could train patrons to make suggestions
14:22 patron education is always good
14:22 kf wizzyrea: only thinking about a workaround for now - I agree it's not the best thing
14:22 wizzyrea right
14:22 i kno :)
14:23 kf wizzyrea: what about a checkbox 'place a hold for me on this suggeston'?
14:23 in the suggestion form? in opac especially
14:23 wizzyrea that is another great idea
14:23 or "if this item is acquired, place a hold"
14:23 but you'd have to be using acquisitions
14:23 or have a way to link the suggestion to an eventual bib outside of acquisitions
14:24 kf lol
14:24 and one I had before: bug 1887

14:29 wizzyrea ic, cool.
14:29 kf i was told we are doing it all wrong
14:29 * wizzyrea gasps
14:29 kf because in koha you do vendor > basket > order line
14:29 > (items)
14:30 and it should be:  items with a status ordered and a vendor and other inofrmation created
14:30 and create orders logically from that
14:30 by used fund or vendor

15:51 maximep Anyone is using tags ? Trying to use them in master in opac-detail.pl and they seem completly broken to me :S
15:52 nengard broken how, i use them on my test system fine
15:52 maximep looking at the code, it seems to always output Log in to add tags
15:53 but the template is hard to read as it seems to be indented completly wrong
15:58 nengard oleonard did you look in to the highlighting on the z39.50 search page? the partner says he knows it was there - he says maybe in 3.0 .. anyway, just wondering what you found
15:59 oleonard 3.0? We didn't have that little inline menu in 3.0...
15:59 I tinkered with it yesterday and came up with some ideas, but nothing I'm satisfied with yet

18:07 wizzyrea re: 2, you mean the server can run on mac? or the user can use it from a mac?
18:08 3. users can always access koha remotely, as long as they have access to the server.
18:08 veel28 server can run on mac
18:08 wizzyrea I'm sure it can be done, but it's probably not optimal.

18:09 veel28 what about chines characters? can the library input Chinese chracters onto Koha?

19:10 rangi nope oleonard
19:10 * oleonard will
19:10 jcamins So I was just talking with Thomas Krichel. He thought that the packages were configured such that only one Zebra daemon was indexing multiple databases. Is this true?
19:11 rangi no
19:11 magnuse cait: maybe i'll ask for some advice one of these days
19:11 ;-)
19:11 jcamins rangi: okay, that's what I thought, thanks.
19:11 sekjal CGI::Session has an expire() function that will delete the server-side session after some period of time
19:11 rangi yep
19:11 but we use an inactivity timeout
19:12 does it check that?
19:12 not an absolute timeout
19:13 * rangi uses memcached for sessions, inactive ones get cleaned up for free
19:13 rangi plus a lot less db noise
19:13 bbiab
19:13 my stop
19:16 sekjal rangi: CGI::Session->expire() uses relative timeout
19:20 rangi cool, the only issue with that then, would be it wont change the timeout if the syspref changes, but thats ok
19:21 sekjal rangi:  perhaps setting it as a longer-term fallback value
19:21 like a day
19:21 just so the system doesn't clutter up

19:50 melia roasted veggies (potatoes, carrots, parsnip, beetroot), pattypan squash (breaded and fried), and a steamed vegetable medley of broccoli, yellow wax beans, and red capsicum

19:50 rangi yum
19:51 * magnuse just had the first lamb chops of the season for dinner :-)

19:51 Brooke Balducci's had a squash stuffed with wild rice that I nearly got, but I was jonesin for my usual.
19:59 oleonard sekjal: Strange that the delBasket function didn't cause the error in previous FF versions
19:59 * magnuse wishes #koha a good time of the day
20:00 oleonard I wonder if the redirect to about:blank is an attempt to complete the cookie operation
20:11 Hmmm... I might pop in, but meeting time is getting kids ready for school time for me, so don't count on me.

20:25 jcamins bg: oh, I'm sorry I missed you!

20:32 Which is poping even with script working ;>
20:32 bg well I hope all is well jcamins :)  been a little while since I've been in channel
20:33 jcamins Yeah, things are going pretty well. Very busy dotting 'i's and crossing 't's, and introducing myself to all and sundry. :)

20:43 actually - can I get someone else to sign off on that
20:43 it's a plea, you know you want to
20:43 it'd be fuuuun

20:45 rangi cpp?
20:46 ropuch c++
20:46 rangi enough to not want to ever touch it again :)
20:46 ropuch hehe
20:46 Q_SCRIPTABLE void setSrcFileOpenRequestAccepted(bool a){m_srcFileOpenRequestAccepted=a;}
20:46 bool m_srcFileOpenRequestAccepted;
20:47 I think it must be set to something after setSrcFileOpenRequest is succes
20:48 rangi i think that variable name needs more letters
20:48 ropuch But I'm not sure what 'bool a' is
20:48 jcamins AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! It's that library that KDE is based on?
20:48 That would have been so much more dramatic if I knew what it was called.
20:48 ropuch jcamins: nah, I'm trying to script lokalize to show context of transted entry in po file
20:49 rangi ropuch: i just use poedit
20:49 ropuch And I've done that, but there;'s this annoing popup alert
20:49 rangi: I switched do Lokalize ;>
20:49 jcamins ropuch: I don't see any problem with that method definition.

21:10 wizzyrea why can't you hide them with css if you want?

21:15 hguewmLibrarian there's a little program called ncftp

21:15 hguewmLibrarian using the LCI
21:15 you can automate it in one line

21:25 jcamins wizzyrea: no, I would definitely have gone the other way.
21:26 Oh, I bet I know what happened.
21:26 I tried to fix it, then realized it was impossible without redoing the stylesheet, and gave up.
21:30 rangi :)
21:31 meeting time, bbiab
21:33 maximep do you this would still work on master ? http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_as_a_CMS
21:33 *do you think
21:34 phlunk3 got a question, when importing a marc record. "koha default item type" this should never get auto filled? Like, is the librarian expected to choose this each time they import, or is the system supposed to fill this due to knowing data from the marc record?
21:40 jcamins The librarian would have to fill it in. Item type might or might not correspond with any data instrinsic to the record.
21:41 maximep left #koha
21:43 jcamins Question: does anyone have any utilities for automagically pulling records into Koha using ISBN? Most of the time I work with materials that predate ISBN by, well, centuries, but every so often I'm asked to look at collections that have a significant percentage of new books, and for those original cataloging isn't really necessary.
21:44 wizzyrea our libraries do it using z39.50
21:44 jcamins wizzyrea: automagically, or by going through the z39.50 interface in cataloging?
21:44 wizzyrea ^^ that
21:45 jcamins Ah. Yeah, that's what I've been doing, but when we start talking about thousands of books, it gets silly.
21:46 wizzyrea well there's marcedit :P
21:46 jcamins Ooh.
21:46 Do you know, I hadn't thought of that.
21:47 wizzyrea i think it's got a handy dandy z39.50 interface in it
21:47 too
21:47 jcamins Yeah, I believe it does.
21:48 * jcamins considers a batch processor that works off-line, and associates a picture of the cover and a location/collection/callnumber/barcode with the ISBN, for a cross-check when processing the cataloging after the fact.
21:50 dreams big. :)
21:50 jcamins Seems to me that shouldn't be so hard to do.
21:50 Name the pictures with the ISBN, easy peasy.
21:51 sekjal jcamins:  there is a batch Z39.50 script which takes in a list of ISBNs
21:52 jcamins sekjal: that's a good start. :) Do you know where it is?
21:53 sekjal jcamins:  looking
21:53 jcamins sekjal: thanks.

22:17 people don't change the default when they should if they aren't forced to

22:39 (the two machines can't talk to each other, but my desktop can)
22:40 it saves the whole wait for the dump, wait for the reload process.
22:40 rangi *nod*
22:40 trick
22:41 jcamins That's really cool.
22:41 Exceedingly, even.
22:46 cait hm
22:48 jcamins Grr.
22:48 The problem with it finally being cool out is that now butter won't soften.
22:49 rangi heh
22:49 nuke?
22:49 jcamins The type of cookie I want to bake is very finicky, and they come out funny if you nuke the butter.
22:49 rangi ahh bummer
22:50 jcamins I may make a different kind of cookie instead.
22:50 rangi rest on top of the oven?
22:50 jcamins Or decide I don't care. ;)
22:50 Yeah, that's a possibility.
22:50 In fact, that's probably what I'm going to do, because I really want sandtarts.
22:50 rangi :)
22:51 cait mmmh
22:51 Ccorrales joined #koha
22:54 jcamins Oh my. The stock markets are predicting a recession.
22:54 I am shocked.
22:54 Truly, I thought the global economy was booming.
22:54 rangi heh
22:54 jcamins Is reporting as bad in NZ as it is in the States?
22:54 ibeardslee 'the stock markets' or 'the people manipulating the stock markets'?
22:55 worse .. we have an idiot PM that things all is well
22:55 s/things/thinks/
22:55 rangi jcamins: yeah, its bad the world over afaict, a good article is the exception not the rule
22:55 journalism is a dead art
22:55 ibeardslee .. .. of course that's giving him the benefit of the doubt that he actually thinks

22:57 jcamins Is it bad that I can't tell for sure whether that's a real tabloid cover or not?
22:57 rangi hehe yeah
22:58 jcamins It'd be hysterical, if it weren't for that bit of doubt that says "but, that could be real."
22:58 rangi unfortunately it kinda is real
22:58 thats how this election is being run
22:59 its about the quietest general election i can remember
23:00 jcamins Yikes.
23:03 eythian pity the main competing party can't campaign its way out of a paper bag at the moment, either.
23:03 rangi yeah
23:03 ppl like its policies, the polls show
23:03 hate all the ppl presenting them
23:04 they have an easy run
23:04 no asset sales, capital gains tax
23:04 but everyone just goes, 'phill goff i hate that guy'
23:04 (i do too)
23:05 jcamins And no one in the party noticed that they had an unpopular candidate when discussing the nomination?
23:07 rangi they seem to be a pretty retarded party
23:07 and often seem to forget they are in opposition
23:07 youre supposed to oppose things, not cave like a stack of cards on every damn issue
23:08 jcamins Really? Well, darn, I guess I got opposition wrong.
23:08 rangi :)
23:09 * jcamins goes back to the drawing board, and comes up with a new slogan for the opposition party: "We think you're probably doing it wrong, even if we proposed that bill."
23:10 ibeardslee they have shown themselves to be fairly impotent .. pretty sad really, Helen was a driver, but lost it by getting carried way with the nanny state
23:12 I think that has driven people towards the green party
23:14 The greens seem to have suddenly grown up .. not fully sure if it from having to grow up because they are now a viable alternative .. or if them being a viable alternative is because they have grown up
23:14 .. ... anyway, I should take that into #nzpolitics
23:14 rangi :-)
23:14 cait left #koha
23:15 rangi this is the big issue at the election for me
23:16 http://publicaddress.net/referendum/tool/
23:17 eythian I don't get the fact it's an issue. It's only a small number of noisy people who want STV isn't it?
23:18 rangi i think quite a few want to go back to FPP
23:18 hopefully not that many
23:19 eythian err
23:19 yeah, FPP, not STV
23:20 ibeardslee that tool has some very tricky questions
23:21 Q6 .. one party is ideal .. but needs to represent the majority of voters
23:24 rangi yeah
23:24 in the ideal world yeah
23:30 ibeardslee But I just can't find that option 'ibeardslee as Benevolent Dictator for Life"
23:31 eythian yeah, I was looking for that too.
23:32 (in order to put "strongly disagree" on it)
23:32 rangi heh

23:37 “The other thing—and it's kind of related—that people seem to get wrong is to think that the code they write is what matters,” says Torvalds. Most software development managers have seen this one. “No, even if you wrote 100% of the code, and even if you are the best programmer in the world and will never need any help with the project at all, the thing that really matters is the users of the code. The code itself is unimportant; the project is
23:37 i like that bit
