01:04 needhelp joined #koha
01:04 needhelp hello
01:04 wahanui niihau, needhelp
01:04 needhelp hello everyboddy
01:05 as my nick says, i need help =) there is someone to give it to me?
01:05 eythian wahanui: help
01:05 needcake we wont know until we hear your question
01:05 eythian wahanui: need help
01:05 wahanui eythian: huh?
01:05 needhelp i am trying to migrate data from INmagic to Koha
01:05 eythian wahanui: \i need help is <reply>Just ask.
01:05 wahanui OK, eythian.
01:06 eythian wahanui: \I need help is <reply>Just ask.
01:06 wahanui i already had it that way, eythian.
01:06 needhelp does koha provide a way to help migration?
01:07 rangi yep, it can import bibliographic data from MARC files, and borrowers from .csv
01:07 what it cant do, is get your data out of whatever system into those formats
01:08 needhelp and what about clients information?
01:08 can it be imported to koha in an easy way_?
01:08 eythian that's borrowers
01:09 needhelp ohh, sorry, english is not always my best field...
01:10 so you say i can export everything from Inmagic and get it imported in koha?
01:12 jwagner With some work, yes. You'll need to make sure your Koha system has matching policies for your branchcodes, item types, patron categories, etc., and format your item and patron data in the way Koha expects.
01:13 See this section of the online manual: http://manual.koha-community.o[…]tml#imp-migration
01:13 needhelp and what about the history? the transactions made, the reservations, etc?
01:13 eythian it's all possible, but not quite so easy
01:14 I use scripts that poke those things directly into the database
01:14 jwagner Also see this for formatting item data, which Koha expects in a 952 field: http://manual.koha-community.o[…]html#itemcatguide
01:14 needhelp ok
01:15 so you say i have to undertand the database structure of koha and insert the data right into it?
01:16 eythian for some things, yeah. Things that it's less common to want to import (e.g. circ history)
01:16 jwagner yes, for anything outside bibs/items and patrons
01:16 eythian conveniently, they're pretty much the easier things, too,.
01:16 rangi schema?
01:16 wahanui rumour has it schema is tracked in git. or found at http://schema.koha-community.org
01:16 wizzyrea ^^ so helpful
01:17 eythian++  for a tool I use every day
01:19 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r[…]-hackerspace.html
01:19 libraries with hackerspaces!
01:19 rangi needhelp: what version of koha are you installing 3.6.0 ?
01:19 needhelp i have been watching the koha schema, there is a "koha" database and a "library" one.... what's the difference?
01:20 rangi ?
01:20 http://schema.koha-community.org/  are you looking here?
01:20 there is only a koha one
01:21 needhelp i am using the 3.4.3 verison
01:21 rangi right, there should only be a koha database
01:21 i dont know where the library one came from
01:21 wizzyrea packages?
01:21 wahanui package info is at http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]on_Debian_Squeeze
01:22 rangi but koha only uses one database (could be called anything, usually called koha)
01:22 the packages dont make an extra db, at leats not as far as i know
01:22 needhelp ok... i am just watching in the phpmyadmin
01:23 rangi that might be some other database someone/something else made
01:23 needhelp ohhh, the thing is a i havent installed koha, it is a live cd gsdl-koha
01:23 that the reason of the library database for sure.
01:24 wizzyrea well, my one started from the packages has a koha and a koha-lecompton
01:24 and I am pretty sure I didn't create the koha db
01:24 myself
01:24 needhelp okis.... so koha is the one..
01:24 great
01:24 rangi that library one will be greenstone needhelp
01:24 wizzyrea: i only have the one
01:24 needhelp yes
01:25 wizzyrea well weird... wonder what black magic I did then ^.^
01:25 rangi well i actually have 8
01:25 but they are all koha-something
01:26 needhelp let me tell those i have...
01:26 eythian wizzyrea: the packages only create one db per instance
01:27 wizzyrea does it create a default instance?
01:27 needhelp i have: dbwiz-resources , koha and library
01:27 eythian no, though the koha package _might_, it's been a while since I've looked at it.
01:27 (as opposed to koha-common)
01:27 needhelp that's how it comes from the live cd..
01:28 wizzyrea eythian: I bet I did apt-get install koha
01:28 rangi yeah, so koha is the only one to do with koha
01:28 wizzyrea instead of koha-common
01:28 (this was several weeks ago)
01:28 that has to be it.
01:29 needhelp ok, KOHA has 130 talbes???
01:29 man, i will lose my summer on it...
01:29 *tables
01:31 i will keep looking at koha features..... if i need help again (for sure i will!!!) i will come here...
01:31 you have been all so kind!!
01:31 thank you
01:41 rangi wonder how this went
01:41 http://www.kohala.nl/workshop.html
01:46 jwagner joined #koha
01:47 jwagner joined #koha
02:14 rangi damn
02:14 i still cant remember who i was gonna write up
02:15 wizzyrea the spanish manual translators?
02:15 rangi oh yeah
02:15 good idea!
02:19 ill do
02:19 http://es.koha-community.org/
02:20 trea i need to delete some branches from an install - i've already confirmed they have no issues or holds. can i get a sanity check on these statements? http://pastebin.com/bpfKPMER
02:21 rangi looking now
02:22 that should be ok, the only other plce itemnumber is sometime used
02:22 is
02:22 accountlines
02:22 what i would do first
02:22 is do
02:23 select * from borrowers where branchcode='xxx' into outfile '/tmp/deletedborrowers';
02:23 then put that file somewhere safe
02:23 do the same with the items
02:23 then, you at least have all the data if they go
02:23 oh crap, we didnt mean it ;)
02:23 * rangi is paranoid
02:23 trea you and me both rangi
02:24 * wizzyrea has had people do that
02:24 * rangi too
02:24 trea but they tell me paranoia is a virtue. along with laziness.
02:24 rangi and being able to make great pizza
02:24 wizzyrea and hummus
02:24 rangi and throwing out random stupidity
02:24 wizzyrea but you know the secret to great hummus?
02:25 rangi garlic?
02:25 wizzyrea skin the chickpeas!
02:25 all the garlic in the world won't get rid of the grainy texture of the chickpea hulls
02:25 trea ^^
02:26 * wizzyrea shares random food knowledge. Wanders off.
02:26 rangi hehe
02:29 melia left #koha
02:33 talljoy how do you skin chickpeas?
02:33 * talljoy thinks....
02:34 rangi you need small children
02:34 with their tiny hands
02:34 and a whip
02:34 or you probably soak them and the skins come off
02:34 take your pick ;)
02:35 trea eh
02:35 heh*
02:36 do i need to be the root db user to dump that info? i'm getting acccess denied as the koha user
02:37 rangi ah yeah, to write to the file system, yup
02:37 trea k, that's what i figured
02:42 talljoy my small children have morphed into giants overnight.
02:42 * talljoy thinks it must be the Texas water
02:42 rangi no peeled chickpeas for you then
02:42 talljoy :-(
02:46 anandology joined #koha
02:48 rangi http://cooking.stackexchange.c[…]ou-peel-chickpeas
02:48 stackexchange is great
02:49 talljoy good tips.  next time i'm in the mood for hummus....i'll just buy some
02:49 rangi hehe
02:49 trea where's the fun in that? :P
02:49 talljoy actually, this probably explains why my homemade hummus was never satisfying
02:50 i may try this.  chickpeas are cheap as dirt
02:50 rangi speaking of hummus
02:50 i meant to tell nate i ate at abrakebabra twice last week
02:51 trea lucky!
02:51 i love that place
02:51 i would eat there everyday if i could
02:51 rangi hehe, nate did
02:51 talljoy never heard of it
02:51 trea kebab shop in welly
02:51 talljoy ah.
02:52 chur
02:52 rangi hehe
02:52 talljoy :-D
02:53 trea :D
02:53 i did get to eat some really great pho for lunch today tho
02:53 rangi http://thisisphotobomb.memebas[…]ving-a-nice-trip/
02:53 talljoy i love pho
02:53 hahahahaha
02:54 i had a great thai green curry
02:55 edveal joined #koha
02:56 rangi mm green curry is good too
02:56 i think might make that for dinner
02:56 talljoy yum
02:56 i could eat thai morning, lunch, dinner
02:57 trea there's a place in town that makes a tempeh phad thai that is awesome. we have a surprising number of decent thai restaraunts for kansas.
02:57 talljoy would of thunk it
02:57 rangi @later tell paul_p the main developer for piwik lives in wellington now (but is french) im all for piwik, its very cool
02:57 huginn rangi: The operation succeeded.
02:57 rangi ohhh thai
02:58 oh hey trea
02:58 did i show you the kansas bbq one they have here?
02:58 trea liz did. crazy!
02:58 rangi http://www.unclemikesbbq.co.nz/
02:58 havent tried it yet
02:58 its on my todo list
02:58 trea was my next question
02:59 you would think it would be difficult to get hickory for smoking past biosecurity
02:59 rangi im hoping the decor is as tacky as the website
02:59 trea lol
02:59 hope springs eternal
03:01 unless they grow it natively
03:01 rangi yeah true
03:06 wizzyrea uh, I use the canned chickpeas
03:06 and you just kinda slip the skins off
03:07 it's like knitting, put on a show, skin some chickpeas
03:08 rangi :)
03:08 wizzyrea i imagine, with the penchant for english trees, that hickory is probably grown somewhere in NZ in some fashion
03:09 rangi i bet you are right
03:13 * jcamins_away sends rangi some cake.
03:13 jcamins_away Or, well, skinned chickpeas.
03:13 But it's almost like cake.
03:13 rangi :)

04:22 savitra we had a good chat with Robin on Open Library..
04:22 rangi excellent

04:25 savitra yes and the openlibrary developers are here in bangalore, we can get them over to our offices at any time to collaborate..
04:25 we were hoping to meet you at the conference, but next time I guess..

04:31 edveal Ok, I have to find a way to go and bring my wife... I just started with ByWater and have a clear goal now.  LOL

04:32 heh oh hi edveal :)

04:32 edveal rangi, I am in Texas and met you in Plano. I know you don't remember me but I remember you.

04:33 edveal I am good friends with Ruth (DRuth) and have been for years.
04:33 rangi did u stay for hackfest in plano?
04:34 ahhhh
04:34 any friend of ruth has to be worth knowing :)
04:34 edveal No I was not that advanced... LOL Actually my wife's best friend lives in the area so I was committed elsewhere.
04:35 talljoy woot.  another Texas Bywaterian.
04:35 rangi ahh I feel less bad for not remembering then
04:35 :)
04:35 edveal :)
04:36 I was a nobody at the time. I was trying to convince my SirsiDynix library to make the move to Koha but was unsuccessful.
04:36 talljoy i'm tapped out for the day.  l8r

05:17 migration?
05:17 wahanui i guess migration is hard or <reply>If only they were using Koha to start with...
05:17 eythian helping out with something of an emergency
05:17 (not koha related)
05:17 cait oh
05:17 hope it will be ok then
05:17 francharb joined #koha
05:18 eythian It's mostly terrible time constraints on a project using a toolkit that I'm the only person here who's ever used it before. And that was two+ years ago.
05:18 francharb morning #koha
05:18 eythian that was a terrible sentence, also.
05:18 cait I still understood it :)
05:18 morning francharb :)

06:51 magnuse kia ora #koha
06:51 rangi heya magnuse :)
06:52 cait morning magnuse :)
06:52 magnuse hiya rangi and cait and everyone
07:21 * mtj_goa waves from goa
07:21 mtj_goa morning all
07:21 * magnuse waves back
07:21 cait oh
07:21 mtj in goa :)
07:22 * cait waves too
07:22 magnuse staying long in india, mtj_goa?
07:23 mtj_goa heya cait :)
07:23 fly back on the 16th
07:24 rangi hey mtj_goa and dpavlin
07:24 alex_away hi
07:25 dpavlin How would you push biblio and/or item data into Koha from external digital archive?
07:25 rangi hi alex_away
07:25 dpavlin I'm interested into first-time import as well as potential update since master data is in archive
07:25 rangi dpavlin: with the stage marc import?
07:26 magnuse cait is doing something like that i think
07:26 rangi and www::mechanize
07:26 cait yep
07:26 we are using the scripts for staged marc import
07:26 but my coworker wrote the program to automate it - not sure how it works exactly
07:26 magnuse but from a script, not from the web ui, right?
07:27 dpavlin Something without user interaction and with some kind on non-chaning API would be perfect.
07:27 mtj_goa and hi magnus and dobrica too
07:28 rangi yeah, you could script it www::mechanize
07:28 or just use bulkmarcimport from the cli
07:28 dpavlin We are using marc bulk import from our eprints currently, but I'm going to meeting where remote side will be Java application :-(
07:28 rangi hmm
07:28 magnuse will the data be in marc?
07:29 dpavlin No. But we can define fixed mapping to MARC for Koha (on Koha's side if at all possible ;-)
07:29 paul_p joined #koha
07:29 rangi morning paul_p
07:29 dpavlin I could wrap some HTTP/JSON to MARC API, but I'm wondering does something similar allready exists.
07:30 rangi not in koha
07:30 we have plenty of ways to get data out
07:30 but only a couple to get it in
07:30 bulkmarcimport.pl
07:30 and then the staged marc import in the staff interface
07:31 dpavlin rangi: Yap, but users don't enter data in Koha but in digital archive.
07:32 rangi yep
07:32 dpavlin I'm also thinking about puting Gearman in the middle and hang Koha import worker on one side and Java worker on another
07:32 rangi im just saying those are the 2 interfaces for putting data in
07:32 so if they dont work, youd have to construct another one
07:33 take a look in svc/
07:33 there is the start of a restful api for doing that kinda thing
07:34 dpavlin rangi++ /svc/new_bib seems to be good start :-)
07:34 rangi its how biblios.org was going to work with koha
07:37 cait yes, using staged marc import from command line
07:37 what we do
07:38 reading backnow
07:39 reiveune joined #koha
07:39 dpavlin It seems that MarcXML or Marc-JSON over HTTP might be easiest way (and somewhat userful for others) way to do it. However, since remote side isn't done by librarians I'm reluctant to move MARC structure and mapping to remote side.
07:39 reiveune hello
07:39 cait I think a restful api would be great
07:39 for things like ILL too
07:40 we have been talking about it, but no time to investigate
07:40 rangi we svc/ mostly works
07:40 i think extending that will be of benefit to the project as a whole
07:41 dpavlin rangi: me too. I will try to write up RFC for it on wiki after meeting to give it a few more eyeballs before I implement something.
07:42 rangi yay
07:42 thank you
07:43 cait dpavlin++ :)

08:32 rangi heh
08:32 their shows are good
08:33 but i still like their standup better
08:35 magnuse i think they visited norway a year or two ago
08:36 rangi could well have done
08:37 brett is also in a couple of bands, one of them being the wellington ukulele orchestra :)
08:37 magnuse hehe
08:40 eythian Wellington *international* ukulele orchestra :)
08:41 rangi hehe
08:41 they are pretty good
08:41 magnuse ooh, big difference that
08:41 rangi but not a patch on the ukulele orchestra of great britain
08:42 eythian a friend of mine accidentally ended up with one of their ukuleles, after it was delivered to his house by mistake.

08:42 eythian Fortunately, he was already a fan and saw when they posted on facebook that they were missing one
08:42 got a free ticket out of it I think
08:43 * eythian -> home

08:51 magnuse no debian packages for 3.6.0 yet, right?
08:52 rangi yep there are
08:52 http://debian.koha-community.o[…]pool/main/k/koha/
08:53 magnuse ah, cool!
08:56 i have a swedish library (koha.sipri.org) asking when there will be packages of 3.6.0 - maybe they have to change something in /etc/apt/sources.list or thereabouts to get it?
08:57 rangi hmm shouldnt
08:57 unless they were running the squeeze-dev ones
08:57 ie 3.5.x
08:57 magnuse their opac says Koha 3.0405000 now
08:58 if that is running off the packages, wouldn't 3.4.6 be the next logical step?
08:58 (i'm not sure they have actually moved to the packages yet)
08:59 rangi 3.6.0 is the latest stable package
08:59 the problem is we now have 2 stables
08:59 magnuse yup
08:59 rangi when eythian has some time
08:59 HAH
08:59 magnuse :-)
09:00 rangi we'll sort it out, stable oldstable and dev or something
09:01 magnuse sounds like a plan
09:02 but they could download the 3.6.0 package from http://debian.koha-community.o[…]pool/main/k/koha/ and just install it with dpkg, if they are in a hurry, right?
09:02 i'll tell them might want to wait for 3.6.1 anyway...
09:03 rangi yeah but easier to just add the source and do it properly
09:03 if they follow the instructions to install squeeze one, they will get 3.6.0
09:03 then will be able to upgrade to 3.6.1 easy
09:03 if they were already using packages
09:03 then apt-get update
09:04 apt-get upgrade will get them 3.6.0
09:04 magnuse ah ok, if you say so :-)
09:04 rangi yeah it will
09:04 * rangi has done it on 2 sites
09:04 magnuse i believe you! ;-)
09:04 rangi as long as they ahve in their sources.list
09:05 deb http://debian.koha-community.org/koha squeeze main
09:05 if they dpkg it, it will not pull in the dependencies
09:06 magnuse because squeeze = stable and latest stable = 3.6.0
09:06 rangi yup
09:06 magnuse ok, thanks
09:06 that reminds me of another thing i meant to ask
09:06 i want to host my customers on the packages
09:06 rangi http://debian.koha-community.o[…]ry-amd64/Packages
09:06 magnuse and i want them to be as close to the official version as possible
09:07 rangi cool
09:07 magnuse but sometimes i will need to apply a patch before it gets into a package
09:07 rangi yup
09:07 what you can do is
09:07 apply the patch
09:07 build the package
09:08 magnuse is it feasible to mostly run off the official packages, but when needs arise apply a patch, build a package and run off that until the patch is in an official package?
09:08 and then go back to running off the official packages?
09:08 rangi name it 3.6.0-1~something
09:08 then when 3.6.1 comes along its newer
09:08 exactly
09:08 the easiest way to do it
09:09 is to run a apt repository urself
09:09 using reprepro
09:09 http://mirrorer.alioth.debian.org/
09:10 magnuse i think i tried that, but gor confused by some of the debian lingo...
09:10 rangi right
09:10 its actually not as hard as it seems
09:10 magnuse ah, so i could set that up to mirror the official packages, and then sneak my custom packages in between the official ones?
09:10 rangi exacterly
09:11 magnuse very cool
09:11 rangi and you clients have
09:11 deb.libriotech.no
09:11 in their sources.list
09:11 so you can push a new package up to your apt repo
09:12 magnuse yeah (but i'll be doing the hosting on my servers, mostly, i hope)
09:12 rangi and then apt-get update; apt-get upgrade
09:12 yourself
09:12 magnuse yeah, i see
09:12 i better take the time to get that repo set up!
09:12 rangi :)
09:13 im going to see if we can get lars to give his tutorial on debian packaging and repos at the kohacon12 dev conference :)
09:13 it was very useful
09:13 i learnt a lot
09:13 magnuse that would be awesome!

10:54 Amit_Gupta heya ropuch, fabio_t
10:56 fabio_t Hi Amit_Gupta
10:56 I have a problem with the MARC framework test in Koha 3.6 packages
10:57 the test complains about biblio.biblionumber and biblioitems.biblioitemnumber being not linked to MARC
10:58 while (if I go to the Koha-MARC links section) they are
10:59 correctly linked.
11:00 from the Koha-MARC links page, biblionumber is linked to 001 @
11:01 biblioitemnumber to 090 a
11:02 I can't rebuild Zebra because of it (I think so)
11:02 magnuse @marc 090a
11:02 huginn magnuse: unknown tag 090a
11:02 magnuse @marc 090
11:02 huginn magnuse: unknown tag 090
11:02 magnuse hmf
11:04 fabio_t so no record found by search
11:04 when I run koha-rebuild-zebra -f instanceName
11:05 I got...
11:07 a message similar to this: [warn] Record didn't contain match fields in (bib1,Local-number)
11:07 (I ran the command again two minutes ago but I'm still waiting the output...)
11:09 liw rangi, you've got your work cut for you, getting me to give a Debian packaging tutorial... you'll need to tell me when the conference is!
11:09 asaurat joined #koha
11:09 fabio_t I tried to edit Zebra's record.abs for UNIMARC (Italy) with no results
11:10 magnuse liw: june, in edinburgh - the specific dates have not been set yet i think
11:12 fabio_t changing "melm 001        Local-number,Local-number:n" to "melm 001$@        Local-number,Local-number:n"
11:12 and "melm 090$9      Local-number,Local-number:n" to "melm 090$a      Local-number,Local-number:n"
11:13 magnuse hm, are you sure 001$@ is right?
11:14 fabio_t hi magnuse
11:15 001$@ in Koha-MARC page or in record.abs?
11:15 magnuse hiya fabio_t
11:15 in record.abs
11:16 i have never tried changing it myself, though...
11:16 fabio_t (yep, output it's the same in my shell: 12:09:22-10/11 zebraidx(18798) [warn] Record didn't contain match fields in (bib1,Local-number)
11:17 I don't know magnuse, I matched it with Koha one
11:18 I'm wondering which is the current standard though
11:19 magnuse i think record.abs needs melm 001
11:20 001$@ is just a way of saying 001 is a controlfield that does not have subfields - it's just shorthand in the koha interface, i think
11:20 fabio_t somewhere i read 090$c/$d (Koha lists), somewhere 090$9 (Zebra's record.abs), elsewhere 090$a (3.6 packaged's framework)
11:20 magnuse you are using unimarc?
11:21 fabio_t thank you for pointing this out!
11:21 i'm going to change it and restart Zebra, let's see
11:21 yes I do, UNIMARC installation and UNIMARC imported records
11:24 ok
11:25 magnuse fingers crossed!
11:25 fabio_t now I'm running koha-rebuild-zebra -f kohatest again
11:25 :)
11:25 magnuse and this time it runs?
11:26 fabio_t uh, by the way, records work fine in other installation (Koha 3.0)
11:26 it's still running
11:27 should it just take a few seconds?
11:27 magnuse depends on the number of records
11:28 fabio_t ok, it was a quite large import
11:28 30k records
11:30 no way.
11:31 I'm going to comment the 090 line
11:31 magnuse yeah, that could take some time, depending on the machine it's running on
11:31 shouldn't take too long, though
11:40 fabio_t no, still failing...
11:40 thank you magnuse
11:40 I have to quit

13:20 muddle Hi there! I am currently facing a MySQL database corruption due to an unexpected server shutdown. It appears that the table "import_records" was corrupted and cannot be repaired.
13:21 Does the table "import_records" contain any important information or can I just truncate this table? Thank you!
13:23 oleonard schema?
13:23 wahanui rumour has it schema is tracked in git. or found at http://schema.koha-community.org
13:23 druthb good morning, oleonard.
13:24 oleonard muddle: It seems to be related to the history of records you've imported into Koha using the Stage MARC record tool
13:25 jwagner If you do truncate it, you should check first for relationships to other tables, like import_batches and the other import_* tables
13:25 oleonard Hence the schema link
13:25 jwagner Correct
13:25 muddle Ah, thanks for the pointers.
13:28 oleonard Safely home now druthb?
13:29 druthb yes, I'm back in TN, with the Minion.

14:06 tcohen i need to provide researchers a central place to look for material from libraries
14:08 i've just heard about sopac2 fr the first time while reading the 3.6 manual to respond to koha@lists
14:09 jcamins tcohen: my instinct is that you'd probably do better with vufind, but it really depends how your researchers would be using it.

15:13 oleonard Sorry, bad example. It's not sufficiently nested inside multiple arrays.
15:14 libsysguy exactly
15:17 rhcl One thing about Drupal we've decided is that you almost have to host your own installation so you have enough control to install the modules you need.
15:18 Oak home?
15:18 wahanui home is fine
15:18 rhcl most off-site hosted installations somehow don't have open enough permissions to let you install all they things you need.

16:48 * wizzyrea doesn't know unimarc, sorry :(
16:49 fabio_t I tried editing Zebra UNIMARC's record.abs but with no luck
16:49 thanks anyway wizzyrea
16:51 wizzyrea this is marc21, does your link look similar? with the proper tags/subfields of course: http://screencast.com/t/XO0eZnPwOnN
16:51 jcamins fabio_t: I would suggest you start over with one of the UNIMARC frameworks that comes with Koha.
16:51 oleonard the default sql for UNIMARC says biblionumber should be linked to 001 subfield @
16:52 wizzyrea actually do what they said
16:52 I bet you deleted the field where biblionumber is stored.
16:52 * jcamins_away is on his way out the door, but that's his suggestion.
16:52 wizzyrea in your framework
16:52 clrh_ left #koha
16:56 fabio_t ok thanks guys
16:57 I'm using Koha default UNIMARC framework
16:57 wizzyrea have you deleted fields in it?
16:57 s/in/from
16:58 fabio_t no, I just run some koha-dump and koha-restore
16:58 beside that, no modification were made
16:59 * beyond that
17:00 jcamins_away fabio_t: I'm really leaving now, but this sounds like a serious bug. Report it on bugs.koha-community.org?
17:02 fabio_t ok. I guessed it.
17:02 I will report it.

19:21 wizzyrea how many records are we talkin about?
19:21 trea quite a few. iirc the file timed out due to it's size.
19:22 wizzyrea oh
19:22 rangi hmm was it a timeout
19:22 or apache saying, thats too big
19:22 cos there is a max upload size
19:22 which is a setting in apache

19:38 heh s/the real//
19:38 oleonard True bg, though some won't acknowledge it.
19:39 bg :)
19:42 oleonard How do we get a press release on Breeding's site?
19:43 rangi i think just send it to him ?
19:43 bg hmm..  NateC
19:43 rangi i think his rule is, he just publishes it verbatim
19:43 oleonard We should do it for every release
19:44 rangi oh yeah, good idea
19:45 NateC oleonard: Just go to the bottom of the front page on LTG and click on "notify him"
19:45 then you can paste the release in the box that pops up and he will get it on the site for you
19:45 rangi we could do that for 3.4.6 ?
19:46 NateC I don't see why not
19:46 It is a new release of Koha so yes
19:46 mfann left #koha
19:47 oleonard any objections to me copy-and-pasting the 3.4.6 announcement and sending?
19:47 magnuse oleonard++
19:47 wizzyrea naw, go go :)
19:47 nengard we just need to make sure he links it to the right Koha :)
19:48 wizzyrea oh lord.
19:48 rangi none from me
19:48 NateC oleonard++
19:48 nengard wizzyrea he links all press to specific companies/products
19:48 that's why i say that
19:48 rangi we could ask chris_n and paul_p to do it as part of each release
19:48 yeah make it koha -- independent
19:48 if thats an option
19:49 or
19:49 oleonard There's no option in the message form
19:49 wizzyrea no i mean, oh lord, he *would* get it wrong.
19:49 rangi koha -- your model doesnt work for open source sort it out
19:49 wizzyrea hehe
19:49 cait we could do it for 3.6 perhaps too?

20:03 yup
20:03 apparently we did do 3.4.0
20:03 oleonard Shame none of the hyperlinks work
20:04 rangi we should do 3.6.0 too eh?
20:04 wizzyrea nod
20:04 rangi by we i mean someone not me

20:07 i think its a great idea

20:08 kickstarter and indiegogo seem to be the two most talked-about, but I've not started reviewing any yet (we're finalising venues first)

20:10 but it uses amazon payments so you have to give amazon you account info
20:10 slef oh poo
20:10 nengard not sure how you feel about that
20:10 slef it's also US residents only
20:10 nengard figured you'd say that
20:10 oh
20:10 well that won't work

20:12 i can't do that - i have to train libraries in june
20:12 slef nengard: nearly, sorry! I'm pretty sure it'll be somewhere in the window 1-12 June.
20:12 nengard got to put them around kohacon

20:12 that's better than then entire month :)
20:12 magnuse https://twitter.com/#!/mbreedi[…]34723763253149696

20:13 We 99% won't clash with ALA

20:13 okay
20:13 didn't know what we were talking about
20:13 chris_n so much for formatting
20:14 slef it's URL breakage by javascript
20:15 indiegogo looks possible
20:15 cait hm
20:15 slef I mean, we could just use the co-op's current card and bank transfer processing, which would be cheaper, but lacks transparency.
20:15 cait perhaps we should do a feature write up sometime
20:15 like the nice release notes nicole did
20:15 nengard++ :)
20:16 going to do something like that for our libraries too

20:18 you might want to look at
20:18 suggestion mailing is very broken :(
20:18 nengard bleh
20:18 slef Oh, the other questions are: would people like to group-book accommodation in exchange for a discount? And would anyone be interested in a road trip maybe London-Birmingham-Manchester-The Lake District-Edinburgh if I could pull it together?
20:18 nengard i did see a bunch of the suggestion email bugs
20:18 but didn't see the one i reported
20:18 what's the number on that?
20:20 slef we have friends down near manchester :)
20:20 would love to go there - plan on doing it anyway

20:22 * magnuse could fly to london, but there also cheap flights from oslo to edinburgh
20:22 nengard trains are easy peasy
20:23 US to UK in June is never cheap
20:23 but I'll look for the best deal
20:23 * magnuse did 2 weeks of interrail in scotland in '92
20:23 cait think it should be ok from here
20:23 my flight to london was cheap... only delayed!
20:23 * nengard did rail all over the UK for a year in college
20:23 cait did a road trip some years ago with friends?
20:23 nengard actually i think bengard's parents drove us to ediburgh when they visited
20:24 cait slef: not sore about group booking
20:24 sure
20:24 ...
20:24 can't type
20:24 slef just remember, if you book train tickets, I think you need to pick "print at the station" or whatever it is, because most of them won't post overseas. I prefer http://www.redspottedhanky.com/ and http://www.southernrailway.com/ - the second has a "Rainy Day Guarantee" where they will refund you if you can't make it, as long as you haven't printed the tickets.
20:25 * magnuse is so looking forward to kohacon12
20:26 slef oh and we have three types of ticket: Anytime which is the basic but most expensive, Off-Peak which can be used any time except commuter trains and Advance which must be prebooked to particular trains but is lots cheaper.
20:27 and some birmingham-edinburgh trains are like £3.50 on http://www.megabus.com/uk/
20:27 I'll wiki this eventually :)

20:28 they like loosing suitcases

20:29 * magnuse did akl->singapore->heathrow a year ago, i think - no problems
20:29 rangi :)
20:29 its a nice way to do it
20:29 singapore has a great airport
20:30 i figure there must be trains from heathrow to edinburgh
20:30 magnuse only problem was the last two hours into london were terribly long :-)
20:30 * oleonard is getting a little too bouncy thinking about this stuff, better tune out
20:31 rangi hehe
20:31 slef rangi: http://traintimes.org.uk/heathrow/brighton/13:00 says it's about 2h
20:31 nengard ewr to manchester looks cheapest for me
20:32 slef rangi: and: "trains from heathrow to edinburgh" heh. No. Not yet. 2020 maybe.
20:32 rangi yay
20:32 slef rangi: train or tube from heathrow to London, then train to edinburgh.
20:32 rangi seems
20:32 yeah
20:33 to euston
20:33 slef only place that has trains from Heathrow is London Paddington (the station for the West)
20:33 rangi then to carstairs
20:33 slef Trains to Edinburgh go from King's Cross
20:33 (the station for the North-East)
20:33 rangi yep
20:33 you can do it that way too

21:25 if oyu do from the browser saving the page will work
21:25 and i think you can download a zip file
21:25 eythian hi
21:26 ebegin Yeah, but I would like to wget the file too, but I have to click the Download link to get the URL. Why the Download link doesn't point to the file directly ?
21:26 cait hi eythian :)
21:26 ebegin hi eythian
21:26 cait ebegin:  no idea
21:26 huginn New commit(s) needsignoff: [Bug 5604] additional icons for the Seshat set <http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5604>
21:26 cait ebegin: I wrote a little bash script to remember the urls for me and download the files
21:26 because I found it so annoying :)
21:26 eythian install the 'cliget' addon to firefox
21:26 it gives you a wget command for downloads
21:27 maximep pretty sure wget will follow the redirect
21:28 ebegin maximep, wget the download link works, but it saves it as index.html... :(

21:32 cait ebegin: but you can wget the link you posted earlier
21:32 to the po file

21:32 s
21:33 and the links don't change often - only every major release
21:33 ebegin cait, yes, that's what i'm doing. I just wanted to save some clicks

21:46 Schuster Friendly afternoon pesk back...  Any problems in jumping from 3.2 Koha-community to 3.6 or do I need to do the 3.4 in between?
21:47 bg shouldn't be too bad - but you will need to run the remove_items_from_biblios script
21:47 and reindex
21:47 if IRC the script needed
21:47 Schuster Yep I can see that in the notes etc.. Just wondering thanks.
21:48 wizzyrea I think you mean version 3.2 to 3.6. There is no such thing as koha-community
21:48 there is only koha
21:48 Schuster I actually have done this on a test server that I have and trying to figure out if there is something that I missed.  sorry yes Koha.
21:49 wizzyrea we don't recognize LLILS as even the same thing ;)
21:56 Schuster Thanks again for another day!

22:06 aarkerio hi! Can I import MARCXML records in "Staged MARC Records"?
22:17 wizzyrea are there preferences beside "opac mysummary html" and opacnav that allow you to put html in the user account area?
22:17 I suppose I could do this with jquery.
22:17 * wizzyrea will probably go that route

22:45 rangi yeah jquery might be easiest
23:14 BobB joined #koha
23:19 bg heya BobB
23:19 man I'm getting this error in one of my frameworks - The biblio.biblionumber and biblioitems.biblioitemnumber fields be mapped to a MARC subfield,
23:20 both of those should only be mapped to the 999c and the 999d correct?
23:20 BobB That's right, bg
23:20 rangi yeah
23:21 heya BobB, enjoy the conference?
23:21 BobB Hi Chris, I enjoyed it hugely.
23:21 I'm having withdrawals.
23:21 rangi excellent
23:21 well june isnt far away :)
23:22 BobB Were your conferences good too?
23:22 rangi yeah access and kiwicon were fun, lianza was productive
23:22 bg well shoot - it's still saying that and I've got those two mapped in my framework
23:23 BobB I need to get firm dates for Edinburgh.  Will have to press slef for that, I guess.
23:24 bg Oh really weird…  looking in the mysql database I see two entries for 999 c and 999 d
23:24 rangi its 1-12 june
23:24 so firmer
23:24 :)
23:24 but not quite firm yet
23:25 BobB Its that right?  1-12 June is confirmed?
23:25 bg the second entry has got NULL in the tab, authorised_value etc...
23:26 BobB That's great news.  We can travel in late May and save a motza.
23:26 * ibeardslee ponders on a presentation
23:26 rangi bg: hmm that doesnt sound right
23:27 9:12 < slef> nengard: nearly, sorry! I'm pretty sure it'll be somewhere in the window 1-12 June.
23:27 bg yeah that's really weird
23:27 oh well I'll nuke those second entries from the database and let's see what happens
23:27 rangi BobB: ALA is 22nd june, making sure not to clash with that
23:28 libsysguy joined #koha
23:28 bg yup rangi now it passes tests
23:28 BobB bg - maybe just delete them?  Nuking sounds a bit severe.  :)
23:29 bg heh - ok how about removed that crap
23:29 BobB Cool!
23:29 rangi :)
23:30 libsysguy @Off-topic ok so I need some protips...what can I do with this page: http://lib.uttyler.edu/circulation and those similar to make them look better other than resetting the padding for ul's
23:30 huginn libsysguy: I suck
23:30 libsysguy libsysguy
23:30 wahanui i think libsysguy is Koha's hottest developer or partying with swedes on his deck
23:31 rangi hmm
23:32 libsysguy I was also thinking maybe some alternate link colors
23:32 rangi im hopeless at those kinda things
23:32 bg libsysguy: can you send me your address again.. and do you want hot curry or just normal curry powder
23:32 email to brendan@bywatersolutions.com
23:33 libsysguy bg - either is fine but i prefer hot :)
23:33 bg ok you got it - hot curry it is
23:34 it's really red looking so I'm sure it's hot
23:34 libsysguy excellent
23:34 bg went to a pretty crazy market to get it…
23:34 libsysguy oh?
23:34 so i should be leery?
23:35 bg also went to another market close by - a fish market…  that one was gross - I acutally threw up in the middle of the street from the smell
23:35 had a bunch of indians staring at me
23:35 no libsysguy - you should be all good
23:35 it will be hot though - it looks like a lot of cayene pepper in it
23:35 libsysguy haha wow...note to self...stay away from fish markets
23:35 *in india*
23:37 thanks again bg for picking that up for me
23:37 bg sure thing
23:37 libsysguy and giving up your lunch :p
