06:54 so
06:54 I went to sleep when I was meant to
06:54 but I can't go to bed now to save me
06:55 and I don't wanna wake the little mister up tossing and turning.
06:55 I'm only up about 3 hours earlier than he normally wakes, so shouldn't be awful.
07:02 oh open library. I <3 you, but you only serve to remind me of how oddly read I am XD

14:23 oleonard NO FURTHER DISCUSSION WILL BE UNDERTAKEN AT THIS TIME GOODBYE.
14:23 maximep haha
14:30 trea joined #koha
14:44 anandology joined #koha
14:44 wizzyrea I know of that guy, he wants to use unique
14:45 * wizzyrea knows almost everybody in the US that wants to use unique
14:45 wizzyrea (with koha)
14:45 oleonard We talked to someone (not sure who) and they said they needed full access to our patron database
14:45 wizzyrea :O whoa
14:45 oleonard Yeah, that was a no-go.
14:46 ...but I'm not sure how it is better handled.
14:46 trea hmmm
14:47 maximep Gentle Nudge® Process o_O
14:47 wizzyrea Pack of Pit Bulls® Process
14:51 sekjal I'm looking at doing a development to make Koha and Unique play nice later this week
14:51 there is an existing implementation from "those guys", but it's not viable
14:51 wizzyrea and there's also the koha-tools
14:51 thing that uses an entirely separate database
14:52 trea which koha_tools wizzyrea? is that the php solution you were telling me about?
14:52 wizzyrea ya
14:52 http://koha-tools.sourceforge.net/
14:52 hmm that may not have it, sec
14:52 * wizzyrea has it on a CD (!)
14:53 wizzyrea but I know it's online somewhere
14:53 kf on a cd... calls for more copies
14:53 wizzyrea hehe yea
14:54 well there might be a copy on my computer >.>
14:54 I think it's the "koha stow extensions"
14:54 http://contribs.koha.org/exten[…]ns.php?category=8
14:54 yep, that's it
14:55 speaking of which, anybody got a tad of server space for contribs.k-c.org?
14:57 sekjal wizzyrea:  I'm sure I could convince ByWater to offer up a server for contribs, if the community is comfortable with that
14:57 wizzyrea it could go somewhere near manual.k-c.org ;)
14:57 :D
14:58 kf I think we are too busy right now :(
15:11 NCARLibrary joined #koha
15:12 NCARLibrary more sql curiosities...
15:13 http://paste.koha-community.org/117
15:13 it's returning many, but not all items that have the specified phrase.
15:15 jwagner NCARLibrary, you need to use the % truncator -- probably before and after your phrase depending on where the phrase might fall in the field
15:15 itemnotes LIKE '%MISSING FL inventory%'
15:15 NCARLibrary trying...
15:16 ooh! 252 results.  That sounds better than 169. thx
15:17 So what exactly does the truncator do?
15:18 Does it allow for chars on either side of the phrase?
15:18 wizzyrea "find this string inside a string
15:18 NCARLibrary ah, ok
15:18 jwagner Yes, it matches any/all chars before/after the phrase
15:18 NCARLibrary cool
15:18 i shall remember this
15:19 auf wiedersehen
15:19 * sekjal just noticed that the Koha IRC meeting is tonight
15:20 kf no
15:20 it's at 3 am!
15:21 sekjal 9pm Eastern, by my calculations..  (assuming I'm factoring daylight savings in right)
15:21 wizzyrea can I hassle someone for a signoff on 7207?
15:21 NCARLibrary joined #koha
15:21 kf bug 7207
15:21 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7207 normal, PATCH-Sent, ---, cnighswonger, ASSIGNED , Cannot export label batches
15:22 wizzyrea and I neglected a test plan for that
15:22 basically, make sure that you can create and export a batch of labels
15:22 in all formats
15:23 * sekjal is going to be a little late to the meeting; he's presenting to a some library school students about open source and Koha until 9:15pm
15:25 kf yay :)
15:25 hope yours ask questions :)
15:25 your students I mean
15:25 I will not be at the meeting - sleeping
15:26 NCARLibrary signed off prematurely...another sql question...
15:26 this code... http://paste.koha-community.org/118
15:26 uses ORDER BY cn_sort to give me LC ordering
15:26 works nicely
15:27 however...
15:27 http://paste.koha-community.org/119
15:27 uses order by items.itemcallnumber asc
15:28 I tried replacing that with the cn_sort, but can't get it to work.
15:28 sekjal kf: if I'm done with the demo in time, I'll see if I can sign in and introduce them to the community
15:28 they've already had someone from a library that runs Ex Libris products come in and speak to them
15:29 kf similar here
15:30 NCARLibrary: you tried items.cn_sort?
15:30 one reason why it's not working can be that for those title was no $z set
15:30 have you checked cn_sort has content for those?
15:31 NCARLibrary standby..
15:32 ooh! That seems to work.
15:34 kf cool :)
15:34 NCARLibrary i had plugged in order by cn_sort rather than order by items.cn_sort
15:35 how come the first code uses ORDER BY cn_sort and the second one uses items.cn_sort?
15:36 I suppose it must have sthg to do with the first one prompting the user for a phrase?
15:37 (WHERE itemnotes LIKE <<Enter string>> ORDER BY cn_sort)
15:38 kf h
15:38 hmm
15:38 actually it shoudl work the same
15:38 it only tells sql specifically which table it is in
15:39 and you only need it if you have more than one table with the same field name
15:39 it normally will complain then
15:39 NCARLibrary ok
15:39 kf because doesn't know which to use :)
15:39 if you use like, you might like to give people a hint, that they can truncate using %
15:40 <<callnumber (truncate with %)>> or sth. like that
15:40 NCARLibrary yeah, that's what i'm doing with this report.
15:40 rather than putting the desired  phrase into the coding itself. i like keeping it open.
15:41 what is that called when you use LIKE <<enter string>>?
15:41 kf I think we refer to it as placeholders
15:41 not sure
15:41 it's a koha thing
15:41 not sql
15:41 NCARLibrary i see

16:04 druthb_phone hi, Oak!
16:04 Oak hello druthb_phone :)
16:05 * oleonard wonders if a druthb_phone is like a Snoopy phone
16:05 Oak still, on the phone? when free let me know.
16:05 kf hi Oak :)
16:05 how did your exam go?
16:05 Oak i'm about to do something potentially stupid. will need your opinion/thoughts
16:06 so far. good :)
16:06 * druthb_phone raises an eyebrow, curious.
16:06 kf :)
16:06 Oak one more paper to go.
16:06 * kf keeps fingers crossed for tomorrow
16:06 * druthb_phone is on-hold.  bleh.
16:06 Oak in pm druthb_phone ... let me know when free.
16:06 kf must be at work... can't bother her now.
16:07 i mean not for this.
16:07 i know we can bother kf whenever we like
16:07 :)
16:07 that was a compliment kf. or at least it was meant to be.
16:08 kf um ok :)

16:35 Barrc joined #koha
16:38 Barrc More git woes: Does it matter if I send mutilpe patch files for the same bug?
16:38 That is, because I know not git, I commited nearly every file I changes. As a results, when i formatted the patch it created multiple files...
16:39 oleonard git rebase -i origin
16:39 You can use an "interactive rebase" to "squash" multiple patches together
16:39 maximep yeah, create a copy of your branch and squash the commits into 1
16:39 Barrc Sweet - this rolls them into one, yeah?
16:40 Cool - thanks
16:40 oleonard Creating a copy of your branch is only necessary if you want to preserve your incremental commit history
16:41 wizzyrea if it's not clear, pick the top commit, and change all the other pick to s (or squash)
16:41 Barrc Getting dizzy now......will the "git rebase -i origin" suffice?
16:41 wizzyrea it will make sense once you run that
16:43 @quote get 123
16:43 huginn wizzyrea: Quote #123: "rangi: #thingsihavelearnt if there is a mad scheme a library somewhere will be doing it ... except madder" (added by wizzyrea at 09:20 PM, March 30, 2011)
16:44 oleonard Hmmm... So, you can disallow a particular biblio view using a preference like "viewISBD," and then you can turn around and set BiblioDefaultView to, say, ISBD. :P
16:44 kf time to go - bye all :)
16:45 hdl1 Barrc: no...
16:46 Barrc: you will have to edit the file with your editor changing pick to squash for all your commits
16:46 kf left #koha
16:47 mfann joined #koha
16:47 Barrc Ummm, dunno what happened but my branch has now been removed......
16:48 maximep that's why I suggested to do the rebase in a copy :p
16:48 Barrc I love git - *Smashing my face against the keyboard*
16:49 jcamins_away Barrc: git rebase --abort
16:49 oleonard maximep: How would a rebase have removed Barrc's branch?
16:49 maximep I don't think it would
16:49 jcamins_away Then do git checkout branch (whatever the branch was)
16:50 Barrc It did! But that rebase --abort has brought it back
16:50 According to gitk, at leasr
16:50 least
16:50 maximep i think u were just in a temporary branch, right ?
16:50 haven't used rebase much :/
16:51 jcamins_away Yup.
16:51 maximep: yes, that's what happened. That's why I suggested aborting the rebase.
16:51 Barrc Honestly - I don't know!
16:52 hdl1 Barrc: when you git rebase, it creates a "nobranch" branch for the time you are rebasing...
16:52 Because you are wanting to rewrite the history and the stream of your patches.
16:53 Barrc Right. So, should I continue with and rebase - i?
16:54 Can anyone recommend a nice site I read up on git? I am gonna end up annoying the heck out everyone here unless I get my head around this quick!
16:59 * oleonard learned here :)

16:59 jcamins_away pastebot's a bit glitchy recently.
16:59 Who administers pastebot?
17:00 Barrc: http://paste.koha-community.org/120
17:00 wizzyrea rangi
17:00 jcamins_away @later tell rangi FYI- pastebot seems to be having some problems posting pastes to the channel.
17:00 huginn jcamins_away: The operation succeeded.
17:00 wizzyrea jcamins: http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]te_Administration
17:01 Barrc jcamins_away: Thanks. That should keep me busy.
17:01 jcamins_away wizzyrea: but asking you was faster. :P
17:01 wizzyrea but what if I'm not here? ;)
17:02 jcamins_away @later tell wizzyrea Who administers pastebot?
17:02 ;)
17:02 huginn jcamins_away: The operation succeeded.
17:02 * wizzyrea sighs
17:02 wizzyrea oh look, a message from huginn!
17:02 wonder what that could be.
17:02 oh.
17:02 you crack me up. :)
17:03 * jcamins_away does his best.
17:03 druthb lol
17:04 NateC_ joined #koha
17:08 * jcamins_away contemplates designing some sort of device for automatically wrapping the individually wrapped fudges.
17:09 wizzyrea see: Food Network's "unwrapped"
17:09 oleonard Don't be tempted to use cheap librarian labor. They end up eating way too many.
17:09 wizzyrea ^^
17:09 huginn New commit(s) needsignoff: [Bug 7225] "Delete all items" should be greyed out when a title has no items <http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7225>

17:09 :D
17:09 melia joined #koha
17:09 oleonard What, two patches for "delete all items?" Someone must have been deleting all items 100 times this morning.
17:10 wizzyrea hehe
17:10 hey owen
17:10 there's also this problem where deleting items on bibs with holds on them doesn't delete the hold >.>
17:10 and you end up with scary phantom holds
17:10 oleonard Nice.
17:10 wizzyrea well, phantoms anyway
17:11 they're not so scary
17:11 imo, but they apparently weird out librarians.
17:11 * oleonard becomes very interested in this other thing he was doing
17:11 wizzyrea hehehe
17:11 e
17:11 * jcamins_away feels sure that with rubberbands and various odds-and-ends he could greatly simplify the individual wrapping process.
17:12 wizzyrea you have one of those racks that holds custard crocks in their water baths?
17:12 jcamins_away I do not.
17:12 wizzyrea then my brilliant idea won't work.
17:12 * wizzyrea doesn't have one either.
17:12 jcamins_away Heh. I'm willing to consider getting one, though. :)
17:13 oleonard Geeze jcamins_away, you don't have one of those racks that holds custard crocks in their water baths?
17:13 I thought everyone had one of those racks that holds custard crocks in their water baths.
17:13 * wizzyrea really appreciates oleonard's sarcasm - it makes me laugh every day.
17:13 jcamins_away oleonard: I know. There's really no excuse.
17:14 * wizzyrea doesn't even mind being the target of it.
17:14 * jcamins_away is waiting with bated breath for wizzyrea's brilliant idea.
17:14 is running out of oxygen. ;)
17:14 wizzyrea lol
17:15 I guess a mini muffin tin would work too
17:15 oleonard What does "found = 'T'" mean?
17:15 wizzyrea in transit
17:15 "i'm between libraries right now"
17:16 * oleonard suspects there's a bug in the holds check even for single item deletion
17:16 wizzyrea *nod* I had noticed that
17:16 too
17:16 oleonard SELECT * FROM reserves WHERE (found = 'W' or found = 'T') AND itemnumber = ?
17:16 That won't catch item-level holds which are pending
17:16 cait joined #koha
17:17 wizzyrea ohh good point
17:17 jcamins_away wizzyrea: mini-muffin-sized individually wrapped fudges might be rather large.
17:18 wizzyrea no I was thinking that you would cut up the fudge, and merely use the muffin tin to pop up the edges of your parchment for typing
17:18 jcamins_away Ah.
17:18 That's very clever.
17:18 wizzyrea typing? tying.
17:18 jcamins_away I knew what you meant.
17:18 wizzyrea thank heavens you speak typo.
17:19 * cait waves :)
17:19 wizzyrea it's suitably non-mechanical
17:19 mfann all this muffin and fudge talk is not helping my diet.

17:21 cait druthb++
17:21 don't have to know for what - she is awesome
17:21 jcamins_away druthb++ # Because she definitely deserves the karma, regardless what the reason
17:21 trea is true. druthb++
17:22 Oak druthb++
17:22 trea corn starch molds. that's all i'm going to say
17:22 oleonard druthb++ # for corn starch molds
17:22 trea heh
17:22 * druthb is confused now.
17:22 * wizzyrea too
17:22 trea was actually in reference to the fudge discussion
17:23 * oleonard doesn't know why, but is on the bandwagon
17:23 trea but whatevs
17:23 druthb @karma
17:23 huginn druthb: Highest karma: "rangi" (435), "oleonard" (361), and "gmcharlt" (267).  Lowest karma: "<!" (-106), "failed" (-68), and "-" (-37).  You (druthb) are ranked 9 out of 1785.
17:23 druthb @karma druthb
17:23 huginn druthb: Karma for "druthb" has been increased 135 times and decreased 1 time for a total karma of 134.
17:23 druthb @most increased
17:23 huginn druthb: "rangi": 440, "oleonard": 366, "gmcharlt": 272, "wizzyrea": 253, "chris_n": 222, "nengard": 201, "cait": 190, "sekjal": 176, "druthb": 135, "paul_p": 120, "slef": 110, "jcamins": 108, "magnuse": 100, "kf": 85, "eythian": 73, "hdl": 60, "hdl_laptop": 60, "jwagner": 54, "biblibre": 49, "atz": 44, "thd": 43, "fredericd": 41, "pianohacker": 39, "larsw": 37, and "kmkale": 33

17:24 jcamins_away wizzyrea: probably the same as what happened to me... someone addressed me with an em dash.
17:24 wizzyrea hm
17:24 edveal Hello
17:24 * oleonard was able to delete an item with an in-transit hold without errors
17:24 cait kf if far less popular than cait
17:24 hehe
17:25 Oak cait gives cookies
17:25 wizzyrea the patron doesn't have a blank hold on their account?
17:25 cait Oak: good point

19:39 jcamins_away What's a public access control system do?

19:40 see: envisionware.
19:40 jcamins_away Ah.
19:41 * jcamins_away translates: it's something that is expected to break every few hours and ensure that no one can ever finish anything they're trying to do on a public terminal.

19:41 Did I say that out loud?
19:41 Oops.
19:41 ^.^
19:41 wizzyrea i should say, I understand the necessity of such a system for places that have more than about 10 computers, and the computers are full at least once a day
19:42 jcamins_away rhcl: you should be preaching the gospel of database-agnosticism.
19:43 rhcl they are so wrapped up in the nuts and bolts at this point I don't think I'm ready to talk about an API
19:43 * jcamins_away starts chanting the database-agnostic motto: "Database lock-in bad! Database agnosticism good!"
19:43 jcamins_away rhcl: but a database-agnostic system should be *easier* to deal with than directly accessing Postgres or MySQL.
19:44 * jcamins_away will not claim that ODBC is a wonderful thing, since it sucks, but compare using ODBC to directly accessing MS-SQL.
19:44 jcamins_away Put down the spoon! You may not gouge your eyes out!

19:46 Phlunk3 has anyone ever seen this issue in koha? a friend just mailed it through to me (didnt check bug site yet):
19:46 Can't use an undefined value as a HASH reference at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cg​i-bin/acqui/booksellers.pl line 114.
19:46 wizzyrea yes
19:46 that happens when you search for a vendor that has been deleted
19:46 or you search for a vendor and all of them were created by the superuser
19:46 cait :(
19:46 jcamins_away That sounds like a bug to me.
19:46 Both do, actually.
19:46 Phlunk3 creating vendors with the superuser is wrong then?
19:46 wizzyrea they are
19:47 and both have fixes I think
19:47 Phlunk3 manual fixes, or a simple koha-common update is needed? is a friend with a package install on ubuntu.
19:47 wizzyrea i don't think they've been pushed yet

19:49 Phlunk3 so is this going to be fixed if she just updates the package? sorry didn't follow exactly if this was in the package or not.

19:53 rhcl any comments from anyone about ADOdb?
19:53 Phlunk3 thx cait, I have mailed the person with the issue and hopefully will get access to the system sometime this week to sort it for them, is just a koha test system which she is using for the fiji project.
19:53 jcamins_away rhcl: ADOdb as in... Active Data Objects?
19:53 cait Phlunk3: and it's really not recommendable to do anything with the superuser
19:54 always use a real staff patron account for everything
19:54 rhcl ADOdb Database Abstraction Library for PHP     http://adodb.sourceforge.net/
19:54 jcamins_away Never heard of it. But it's probably a better idea than directly accessing Postgres.
19:55 maximep there's db abstraction stuff build in php now
19:55 I wouldn't use adodb
19:55 jcamins_away ^^ but listen to people who use PHP.
19:58 Phlunk3 go PDO
19:59 depends really what your requirements are though :/
19:59 slef could everyone please stop breaking stuff long enough for me to get some work done? ;-)

20:17 cait slef:  bank holidays = everything closed?
20:17 slef cait: bank holidays = banks closed, large shops on short hours, mass transport on reduced service.
20:17 cait but we will be able to get some food? :)
20:18 slef at least where I live... might be less noticeable in a capital city
20:18 jcamins_away slef: it was pretty darn noticeable when I was there.

20:20 I think the Christian ones are observed most, even now.
20:20 (2 days at Easter, 1 at Christmas)
20:20 jcamins_away slef: I think it was Easter, maybe. Also, the day after New Year's.

20:27 I just started looking at some stuff about the bribery act. There's claims that we have to "undertake due diligence into the anti-corruption record of sponsors"
20:28 Why did our government pass the world's toughest anti-bribery law just before we host kohacon? ;-)
20:28 rhcl so they could tax it?
20:28 slef I don't see how they make money from this.
20:29 It looks like it costs us time and money without making them any.
20:29 Very strange behaviour for a government ;-)

21:06 aarkerio hi! someone knows a good webhosting for Koha?
21:07 rhcl aarkerio: where are you located?
21:07 aarkerio Mexico!
21:07 trea koha vendors?
21:08 aarkerio but I current have a virtual hosting in Michigan :   a2hosting.com
21:08 trea hosting?
21:08 bah
21:08 rhcl ByWater hosts I think. Maybe Amazon?
21:08 aarkerio rhcl, why location is relevant?
21:08 jcamins_away aarkerio: you probably will want a Koha vendor, rather than just a web host.
21:09 aarkerio: the website has a list of Koha vendors.
21:09 If you're going to do all the work yourself, you can use any hosting provider who offers VPSes.
21:09 aarkerio is just for a young friend who is trying to "play" with koha
21:10 I have a VPS in a2hosting but I think is too expensive for a newbie
21:10 jcamins_away aarkerio: in that case, it doesn't matter.
21:11 aarkerio: somewhere cheap.
21:11 * jcamins_away has used http://damnvps.com/
21:11 aarkerio I wanna some ssh access and virtual host allowed in apache2
21:11 jcamins_away aarkerio: you need to have root privileges. Koha can't be installed on a web host.
21:12 aarkerio is just for   koha.foo.com   and    opac.foo.com
21:12 jcamins_away aarkerio: yes, but you need to install Koha.
21:12 rhcl Amazon would be too expensive just to experiment with.
21:13 this one is pretty good, I think: http://www.bluehost.com/

22:34 trea anyone heard of a bug regarding patrons with a space in the surname (ie, Van Wilder) not showing up in member.pl ?
22:34 wizzyrea I have not heard of that one
22:35 trea k. it's browseable; i can find it with an alphabetical browse. but doing a search on member.pl yields nothing
22:35 wizzyrea oh
22:35 you mean searching
22:35 what version?
22:35 trea 3.05.00.010
22:35 wizzyrea what's the exact search they're doing?
22:36 trea Van<space>Wilder
22:36 (not the real last name, but same idea)
22:36 or permutations therein
22:36 wizzyrea hmm
22:36 I wonder what would happen if they had the first name
22:36 like
22:36 luke van wilder
22:37 trea same result
22:37 wizzyrea i wonder if 10 is before the 3 part name searching fix went in
22:37 if it is, then yea, that's a known bug
22:37 that 3 part name searching doesn't work
22:38 but let me check something quickly
22:38 bg wizzyrea: you are correct
22:38 that came in after .010 IRC
22:38 wizzyrea nekls sponsored the fix for that :p
22:39 trea ah, k - i wondered if this was part of the unified patron search
22:39 wizzyrea http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6253
22:39 huginn 04Bug 6253: normal, PATCH-Sent, ---, srdjan, ASSIGNED , Unified Patron Search subroutine
22:40 wizzyrea now, if they look for
22:40 well, if you have a 4 part name (2 first, 2 last) or more than 2 in the surname
22:41 example first: luke owen last: van wilder
22:41 searching for owen van won't work
22:44 but 3 part searching will work after the update to 3.6.0
22:46 trea thanks for the info. wizzyrea++
22:46 wizzyrea hehe, np
22:50 bg wait isn't giving wizzyrea good karma like giving yourself good karma
22:50 * bg quickly goes off to fire up another user in here - so I can bg++ to my hearts content ;)
22:50 huginn bg: Error: You're not allowed to adjust your own karma.
22:51 bg HAH wahanui - just said to me "please don't karma yourself"
22:51 wizzyrea bg++ for reminding me that it wasn't in 10 yet

23:31 jcamins wizzyrea: the difference between jcamins and jcamins_away is that jcamins_away can't be relied upon to see the message notifications.
23:31 Well, okay, I guess jcamins can't be relied upon to see messages either, but it's somewhat more likely.
23:57 Phlunk3 hey guys, sorry I have only ever installed koha and don't know much about the use, I want to create a new backend user so we aren't using the db user/pass any more, can someone tell me how? :P
23:57 jcamins Phlunk3: it's in the patrons module.
