00:05 rangi melia: about?
00:05 melia yes
00:05 hi rangi
00:06 rangi for 4530 did you do git bz?
00:06 melia yes
00:06 bg did it with me
00:06 rangi and then you tried a git am -iu3 eh?
00:06 melia no
00:06 rangi ahh git bz will not try to do a merge
00:06 it will just bail out
00:07 lemme try it and see if a merge works
00:07 if so ill get you to try again :)
00:07 melia ok
00:08 rangi git bz is nice so it does this
00:08 Patch left in /tmp/patch-wm2dFB.patch
00:08 and then I can go
00:08 rorohiko:[git/4530|am-]:~/git/catalyst-koha% git am --abort
00:08 rorohiko:[git/4530-]:~/git/catalyst-koha% git am -iu3  /tmp/patch-wm2dFB.patch
00:09 which tries a merge and tells me
00:09 CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in C4/Members.pm
00:09 melia so still doesn't work?
00:09 rangi nope
00:09 but now we know why
00:09 ill update the bug
00:09 melia thank you :)
00:09 rangi often that will work though, so its worth trying
00:10 melia ok. I'll add it to my instructions. if git bz apply doesn't work, then try git am -iu3
00:10 rangi sweet :)
00:10 yeah even if it doesnt, it gives nicer info about why not
00:10 melia ok. thanks!
00:11 rangi no worries
00:19 bag rangi++  #thanks for the extra help :)

00:33 smita joined #koha
00:36 smita Hello from Fiji where I am setting up koha in the first public library. I am stuck , can\t change the quantity in aquistion, it is coming up with error. Please help
00:36 eythian smita: what's the error?
00:36 smita It is stuck on 1 and will not allow me to change the quantity
00:37 rangi click on the plus sign up a bit, under the item info
00:37 it will make you another item and increase the quantity
00:37 smita I will try
00:37 rangi you cant ever change the quantity ordered by entering in that box

00:39 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6893 critical, PATCH-Sent, ---, adrien.saurat, ASSIGNED , Order from suggestion does not remove suggestion from 'accepted' list
00:40 smita I am creating a order for a new item, can't see + sign anywhere
00:43 rangi above the quantity
00:46 it will be a + or the word Add
00:49 smita found the + sign- it does needs to clearer please like everything else in koha, but still it does not allow me to save the order in the empty basket, it says done with error- no error message and the order is not saved
00:54 Cul hello #koha
01:00 ago43_away joined #koha
01:07 Phlunk3 is Smita's issue a bug or simply a problem with user error? Sorry smita I don't have a system to test with at the moment.
01:08 Cul everyone's so busy talking about technical stuff, I feel like i'm intruding if I pop in to ask a noob question...
01:09 smita well, i am a newbie - it does not come up with an error message just does not save the order into the basket- ans yes, i am totally a noob
01:09 Phlunk3 Cul just ask :) people will help if they can
01:11 Cul ok, on http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ki/Koha_on_Ubuntu... there's a code line that reads.. sudo dpkg --set-selections<install_misc/ubuntu.packages
01:11 that doesn't seem like a complete command to me.. am I wrong?
01:12 smita I have followed through and created the order only as a staff user not as a koha admin, it works correctly from test system
01:12 Cul when I run it it brings up dpkg help topics
01:12 dpkg: unknown option --set-slections,install_misc/ubuntu.packages
01:13 eythian Cul: it is a correct command, but you're not copy-pasting and so doing it wrong
01:13 for example, there's no ',' in the command
01:13 Cul doh! der... I didn't shift when I hit the <
01:14 eythian :)
01:14 it's always worth copy-pasting those commands, it's really easy to make a mistake
01:14 Cul so i see
01:21 so running install_misc/ubuntu-pkg-check.sh | grep none
01:21 I see libidzebra-d.0-0 = (none) is that a problem?
01:27 eythian Hmm. Not sure.
01:27 it might be
01:27 try installing it to be sure
01:27 (I'm not sure if it exists in Ubuntu though)
01:28 Cul something like apt-get install libidzebra-d.0-0 ?
01:31 eythian yeah
01:31 apt-cache search libidzebra may be useful to if that doesn't work
01:34 smita joined #koha
01:35 smita Still struggling to save an order in a basket with no error message except that it will not save. Help please
01:36 Cul man, that opened a can of worms.. now instead of one package missing.. i've got 9
01:36 smita I am in Nadi Public Library for this week implementing Koha at the first public library in the country
01:37 Cul sounds awesome smita
01:41 smita yes it is , at cost of being here in the middle of summer, just terrible sweltering heat. Now about my aquisition qs pls. Has halted my acq training pls.
01:42 tcohen joined #koha
01:42 eythian smita: what version, what happens, what unusal things appear, what else can you tell us?
01:43 smita 3.06
01:45 indradg rangi, ping
01:45 smita just create a new vendor, added a new basket, try adding a order , add all details press the save button, it will not save the order in the basket, does not give any error msg
01:46 says done with errors and does not save the order to the basket. I am logging as staff with all privileges and not as koha admin
01:49 eythian indradg: rangi isn't here
01:50 indradg eythian, ok... i'm stuck with a zebra error
01:50 eythian smita: not really sure I'm afraid. Hopefully someone with acq knowledge will be along soon.
01:55 melia left #koha
01:57 Cul mysqladmin -uroot -p create kohadata
01:57 when this prompts for password is it the password in the koha-conf.xml file?
01:58 eythian no, it's the root password of your mysql
02:02 Cul GRANT ALL ON kohadata.* TO 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
02:02 item inside single quotes are what I decide them to be? or does it have to match something as well
02:03 eythian that's weird.
02:03 I don't think it should be root
02:03 it should be the name of the user in your koha-conf.xml, and the password should match that too
02:04 Cul hey, maybe that's why it didn't work the first four times I tried to install :D :D
02:04 maybe we're on to something
02:04 * Cul so exciting!!
02:05 eythian :)
02:05 Cul I thought I had completely bungled my sql and everything
02:06 so info from koha-conf.xml in there... is that your final answer eythian?
02:06 eythian yeah. you can set them to what you need, so long as they username and password match
02:08 Cul crap.. where is that file... /etc/koha.... somethingorother...
02:09 eythian depends how you installed
02:09 and where you installed to
02:09 Cul hehe, I got it..
02:10 i'm starting to feel like less of a dummy than the last 4 times... it's empowering...
02:11 eythian heh
02:12 jenkins_koha Starting build 15 for job Koha_3.6.x (previous build: STILL UNSTABLE)
02:14 Cul GRANT ALL ON kohadata.* TO 'koha'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
02:14 so then this one is koha from mysql db and db passwd?
02:14 from the install instructions that is..
02:15 eythian yeah, should be right
02:15 Cul hmmm, I think I remember the password
02:15 eythian it'll be in the file
02:15 Cul the same xml file?
02:15 eythian yeah
02:17 Cul I see zebra and biblioserver... or was it the same I just entered for the other?
02:17 eythian the database
02:17 wahanui i guess the database is gone now :(
02:17 eythian it's right down near the bottom
02:18 Cul yeah, in the <config> section.. right?
02:19 eythian yeah
02:20 Cul so if I understand this... the walkthrough here wants me to grant privvys to sql user and root then... otherwise the next command would be identical to the first
02:21 if what you said about shouldn't be root.. should be mysql user is the case
02:22 eythian there's no point granting privs to root
02:22 it already has them
02:22 but you do need to grant them to the db user that koha will be using
02:22 Cul or should the root@localhost be my normal login and computer name
02:22 that's what I thought
02:22 eythian no
02:23 mysql users have nothing to do with computer users
02:24 Cul so these two commands are redundant then?
02:24 > GRANT ALL ON kohadata.* TO 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
02:24 > GRANT ALL ON kohadata.* TO 'koha'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
02:24 eythian you need the second one, but the last one is pointless I think
02:24 err
02:24 the first one is pointless
02:24 Cul because i'm subbing the same data from the <config> section of the xml file
02:25 eythian yeah
02:25 so you do it once, with that information in there
02:25 Cul ok, just making sure.. I'm really excited about this working this time....
02:25 * Cul 5th times a charm
02:26 eythian I would have just used the packages ;)
02:30 Cul I tried this method first and apparently the 'this password' here part got me.. then I went with the packages and got the same results.. now I'm so close I can smell it ... i think...
02:31 eythian the packages do the passwords for you
02:32 Cul then i might have had remnants of the previous failed install lingering
02:32 eythian that can happen
02:35 Cul oooh, single or standard... I'm at home and don't have a static ip and I'm doing this for work so I won't be able to reliably host without leaving home with my ip every morning. this system isn't portable at all is it?
02:36 eythian not really, it's a server application and they tend to like servers.
02:36 I'd set up a dyndns service
02:38 Cul that aside.. if i'm just testing the app for board approval should I select single and plan on reinstalling to the final hosting server...?
02:38 I can transfer the db's right?
02:39 and import them on a new install
02:39 eythian what do you mean by 'single'?
02:40 Cul I'm at the install koha portion of the instructions.. it offers std, single and dev for install options
02:40 eythian Oh. I dunno, probably standard. It won't matter a whole lot.
02:40 (/me hasn't done an install like that for a very long time)
02:45 Cul what's the approx size of this app with empty databases?
02:45 eythian I dunno. 50-100MB or so maybe, much of which is translations.
02:46 Cul that's suprisingly small
02:47 eythian it's a Linux application, they don't tend to be huge.
02:48 Cul that's what I'm learning.. I spent about a month trying to get NewGenLib working on a windows machine and finally made the leap to linux.. I'm very happy so far
02:48 eythian awesome :)
02:49 Cul ok, it said make sure you run make install as root.. sudo is appropriate, yes?
02:50 eythian yeah
02:53 jenkins_koha Project Koha_3.6.x build #15: STILL UNSTABLE in 41 mn: http://jenkins.koha-community.[…]ob/Koha_3.6.x/15/
02:53 oleonard: Fix for Bug 5974 - Bogus auth check for "StaffMember" role
02:53 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5974 normal, PATCH-Sent, ---, oleonard, ASSIGNED , Bogus auth check for "StaffMember" role
02:53 Cul so really, how many of the names on here are bot?
02:56 hmmm... everything was going so well:
02:56 waiting ..apache2: Syntax error on line 236 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 5 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mylibrary: Could not open configuration file /etc/koha/apache-shared.conf: No such file or directory
02:56 [fail]
02:57 is that a bad apache install?
02:57 eythian well, it's a bad apache configuration
02:57 hmm
02:57 that's a leftover from the packages
02:58 if you've removed the packages, you should remove /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mylibrary
03:00 Cul so since I didn't, I probably can't just take it out now and have everything be fine can I?
03:01 eythian you didn't which?
03:01 Cul remove sites-enabled/mylibrary when i remove previous pkgs
03:02 eythian it won't happen automatically. Do it now and restart apache, and it'll be happier with it.
03:02 Cul <--- didn't
03:02 ok
03:04 can you help me out with the proper command?
03:04 eythian which proper command?
03:04 Cul to delet mylibrary
03:05 eythian sudo rm /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mylibrary
03:06 Cul very nice, thank you
03:06 remember.. I come from window.. you don't need to know the command line to press the delete key :)
03:07 eythian yeah, you can do that in Linux too, but you can't copy and paste a gui command.
03:09 * Cul drumroll
03:10 Cul the moment of truth
03:10 dang
03:10 something's still up with the passwords I think...
03:11 Access denied for user 'kohaadmin'@'localhost' (using password: YES) at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Context.pm line 693.
03:14 well, thank you so much for all your help.. I'm gonna call it a night and try and figure this out tomorrow. I'm sure that it's all somewhere between mysql and koha because the install went without a hitch this time..
03:15 take care of yourself and we'll see you later.

11:23 kf paul_p: hi paul
11:25 chris_n kf: kohaversion is 3.06.02.001 rather than 3.6.2
11:25 kf hm?
11:25 chris_n see the comments in kohaversion.pl for the reasoning behind that
11:26 kf oh
11:26 chris_n there is disparity between what we do and what we say in the comments
11:26 kf ah
11:26 that was not my question
11:26 chris_n or have been doing at least
11:26 kf there is a 3.06.02 in master
11:26 chris_n ?
11:26 where
11:26 kf and I thought it shoudl be 3.7
11:26 http://git.koha-community.org/[…]a0dfc5f8f;hb=HEAD
11:26 and that made me worry
11:27 because the will collide?
11:27 I think
11:27 chris_n well, no need for 3.7 if you use the nominclature 3.6.2.x
11:27 kf now I am very confused
11:27 I know my master system is pretending to be 3.6.2 - and that worries me
11:28 and I think we used the uneven numbers for database updates on master before
11:28 so I was asking about it
11:29 chris_n either way, there will be no collisions since the "development" segment of the ver number is being incremented :)
11:41 kf ok
11:41 we only have to avoid the same number doing different things then

14:31 jwagner oleonard, I see the same thing
14:31 talljoy I don't see it.
14:32 oleonard Hm, so perhaps a quirk of a long-updated database?
14:32 jwagner One search in sysprefs generates 8 similar entries

14:36 oleonard Hi sekjal, I have a question about your comments on Bug 7259
14:36 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7259 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, oleonard, ASSIGNED , Show a count of items pending approval on staff client home and tools pages
14:36 sekjal hey, oleonard
14:36 wahanui oleonard is the master UI designer of koha or an awesome bug wrangler
14:37 oleonard Is there a preferred way of setting a default value for a subroutine?
14:37 * oleonard knows the PHP way but not the Perl way
14:37 sekjal lots of different ways to do it, not sure if any is better than another
14:38 * oleonard didn't know if there was a shortcut, or if it just means checking for an empty value
14:38 sekjal you may be able to do ($status) = @_ || (1);
14:44 oleonard That seems to set 1 no matter what
14:45 sekjal boo
14:46 alternative:  write the documentation on the subroutine, and explicitly define the status input param
14:46 as required
14:46 oleonard my ($param) = @_;
14:46 my $status = ($param ? $param : 1);
14:47 kf1 qa_team++
14:47 marcelr++ sekjal++ :)
14:47 oleonard No, that won't let you pass 0
14:47 sekjal checked defined $param instead?
14:50 oleonard sekjal++
14:50 And of course you're right that documentation would be good too
14:53 sekjal that whole module isn't really documented much at all...

15:42 jcamins_away oleonard: (unshift @_) || 'default'?
15:42 * oleonard doesn't actually know what unshift @_ does
15:42 kf1 hm
15:42 deletes first or last entry I think
15:43 jcamins oleonard: I *think* it pulls the left-most item from an array.
15:43 kf1 http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/unshift.html
15:43 jcamins It is completely possible that I actually meant pop @_.
15:43 oleonard I've see unshift used in that context jcamins
15:43 jcamins Or that I made it up entirely.
15:43 kf1 adds one actually it seems
15:44 jcamins Whoops, in that case I meant shift.
15:44 kf1 Shifts the first value of the array off and returns it,
15:44 shift
15:44 http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/shift.html
15:44 * chris_n wonders if there are multiple kf's now :-)
15:44 jcamins kf1 is the official explicator of Perl syntax.
15:44 kf1 hm?
15:44 jcamins kf1?
15:44 wahanui i guess kf1 is the official explicator of Perl syntax.
15:45 kf1 lol
15:45 kf no idea :)
15:45 chris_n unshift and shift work off of the to of the array
15:45 jcamins Boy. SLA really wants me to renew.
15:45 chris_n pop/push work off of the bottom
15:46 s/to/top/
15:46 or perhaps we should say "list context" since "array" seems to be out of vogue in some perl books, etc.
15:48 jcamins chris_n: bah! Context refers to which memory page one is on, not syntactic sugar. :P

16:10 wizzyrea good morning
16:10 oleonard Hi wizzyrea
16:15 kf hi wizzyrea
16:15 :)
16:15 wizzyrea hello!
16:15 and how goes the bug squashing
16:16 jcamins kf: no, I didn't.
16:16 kf: but whenever I get a patch in, jenkins whines at me, doesn't he?
16:16 kf no :)
16:16 only when tests are broken
16:16 at the time
16:16 your patch gets in
16:17 and only for 3.6 right now
16:17 jcamins kf: but didn't rangi say he was enabling it on Master?
16:17 I'm sure Master's broken.

16:22 jcamins Bib response services and URL recipes.
16:22 oleonard :P
16:22 jcamins Do I have to spread it out for you in a nutshell? ;)
16:23 * jcamins thinks it could probably be closed.
16:23 * oleonard is sure the submitter is going to get right on it any time now
16:23 gmcharlt *snort*
16:24 jcamins oleonard: you betcha.
16:26 * jcamins tries to think of the term that describes the overly ornate typefaces of the late nineteenth century.
16:28 chris_n heya gmcharlt
16:28 wahanui it has been said that gmcharlt is an expert in all things library technology.
16:29 jcamins wahanui: correctly said, at that.
16:29 wahanui jcamins: what?
16:30 jcamins Teachable moment! "Don't customize your templates."
16:31 wizzyrea batch receiving transfers - possible?
16:31 (I didn't think so but... koha's a moving target ;))
16:32 * chris_n thinks "template" is a bit of a misnomer in this context
16:32 chris_n people seem to confuse "template" with "skin"
16:33 jcamins wizzyrea: not to my knowledge, but, maybe?
16:33 wizzyrea lol I see that you have the same doubt that I do
16:33 I'm going to go with "no"
16:33 (but that would be neat)
16:34 * jcamins doesn't generally worry about transfers. Or circ, for that matter.
16:34 * wizzyrea snorts
16:34 doesn't generally worry about cataloging. so there's that.
16:34 wizzyrea ;)
16:35 jcamins wizzyrea: your loss.
16:35 oleonard How would batch receiving transfers work wizzyrea ?
16:35 wizzyrea jcamins: naw, yours ;)
16:35 like the labels interface? scan a bunch of barcodes and it receives them all to the library?
16:35 but of course there's holds and nonsense.
16:36 that you ahve to deal with one by one
16:36 oleonard And you'd want that because it's faster?
16:36 wizzyrea I don't think I'm going to advocate for adding it.
16:36 Probably because "sirsi did it"
16:36 or <pick your proprietary ILS>
16:37 * wizzyrea doesn't really care so much about it - batch operations often lead to batch error making.
16:37 jcamins wizzyrea: but think of the time it saves!
16:37 wizzyrea whee!
16:38 jcamins wizzyrea: if I'm going to make 50 errors, I'd rather do it all at once. :P
16:38 wizzyrea I"m able to screw things up at lightning speed!
16:38 * oleonard is still wary of the batch edit tool for no particular reason
16:38 wizzyrea I'm actually quite fond of the batch item edit tool
16:38 it's quite good.
16:39 and batch delete.
16:39 chris_n wizzyrea: well... batch operations like "batch of cookies" seem to go smoothly most of the time ;-)
16:39 sophie_m left #koha
16:39 * wizzyrea remembers the time she made the curry cookies - and used curry powder that contained garlic
16:39 jcamins chris_n: you mean someone eats all the dough before the oven has finished preheating?
16:39 wizzyrea it was an experience!
16:39 chris_n HA
16:39 * jcamins has started adding garlic powder to the dough for his calzones.
16:39 wizzyrea surprisingly enough, it wasn't awful.
16:39 chris_n probably better for your heart at any rate
16:40 jcamins It was a brilliant innovation.
16:40 wizzyrea just, a bit odd to have a lovely oatmeal cookie with a hint of garlic
16:40 ooo garlic in pizza dough is good stuff.
16:40 * jcamins needs to roast some garlic.
16:40 jcamins It's finally cool enough to have the oven on for a few hours.

17:14 jcamins rafa_saad: not using Koha.
17:15 rafa_saad lol
17:15 jcamins rafa_saad: you could conceivably write a script to do it, though I'm not clear how you could get DDC numbers out of author authority records.
17:18 rafa_saad I'm thinking on in
17:19 'cause if koha can fill 100d, 100e, etc, with data that cames from authorities, why it cannot fill other fields?
17:19 jcamins rafa_saad: because there isn't any other data that should logically come from authority records, I'd think.

18:08 Starting build 558 for job Koha_master (previous build: STILL UNSTABLE -- last SUCCESS #491 1 mo. 19 j ago)
18:08 sekjal thanks, jenkins_koha.  quite timely
18:08 slef jenkins_koha: mute
18:08 jenkins_koha slef did you mean me? Unknown command 'mute'
18:08 Use '!jenkins help' to get help!
18:08 paul_p joined #koha
18:08 cait heh
18:09 slef jenkins_koha: shut up
18:09 jenkins_koha slef did you mean me? Unknown command 'shut'
18:09 Brooke #topic Roadmap to 3.6
18:09 jenkins_koha Use '!jenkins help' to get help!
18:09 Topic for #koha is now Roadmap to 3.6
18:09 chris_n it appears jenkins wanted to say a few things 3.6 related :)
18:09 paul_p #info Paul Poulain, BibLibre, RM for 3.8
18:09 sorry to be a little bit late !
18:09 Brooke no problem
18:09 chris_n 3.6 is on target
18:09 * Brooke was deathly afraid of getting caught in a motorcade.
18:09 chris_n 3.6.2 will release on 22 Dec
18:10 paul_p chris_n, pushed 1 hour ago 2 more patches that should please jenkins
18:10 build 558 should confirm that.
18:10 chris_n I have a script which is doing pretty much automated release notes each time I push to 3.6.x
18:10 wizzyrea ^^ awesome
18:10 Brooke he's cunning
18:10 chris_n so that should keep all of you folks in the know about what's to be in the next release
18:10 cait nice
18:10 wizzyrea chris_n++
18:10 mtj2 yep, chris' script is just awesome
18:10 jcamins chris_n++
18:10 chris_n paul_p: looks like we're still unstable :(
18:11 dpavlin chris_n++
18:11 oleonard #info Owen Leonard, Athens County Public Libraries
18:11 paul_p chris_n, I know, but there should be only 4 problems now. And only 2 in fact, as that's problems declared twice
18:11 chris_n and that's it for 3.6
18:12 Brooke #topic Roadmap for 3.8
18:12 Topic for #koha is now Roadmap for 3.8
18:12 Brooke take it away Paul
18:12 paul_p chris_n, could you explain again your strategy to decide what should be in 3.6 and what will stay for 3.8
18:12 (before going to 3.8)
18:12 I think it's clear for me, but maybe not for everybody
18:13 chris_n new features go in 3.8
18:13 all else goes in 3.6
18:13 a feature is something currently non-existent in 3.6
18:14 sekjal chris_n: would it be fair to say that anything that changes a workflow would be a considered a feature?
18:14 chris_n the only real exception is things which are clearly too big to safely move back
18:14 paul_p for everybody = it means that an improvement to an existing feature, even if it's ENH, will be applied to 3.6
18:14 chris_n sekjal: I would define that more as "significantly" changes workflow
18:14 I think very minor changes are probably acceptable
18:14 paul_p and I agree with that
18:14 chris_n but some of this is open to discussion
18:15 sekjal but, say, the changes to handling Lost items as laid out in bug 5533 would NOT be backported
18:15 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5533 critical, PATCH-Sent, ---, srdjan, ASSIGNED , marking item lost diff in two places
18:15 chris_n I think fine-days is the issue here
18:15 its critical as marked
18:15 not enh
18:15 paul_p chris_n, (one of ) the issue is that it's a bug, not an ENH
18:15 thd chris_n: Does that mean that complete code rewrites which do not introduce new features will be allowed in 3.6?
18:15 paul_p even if fixing the problem means changing (a little bit) the workflow
18:16 chris_n thd: for example?
18:16 cait paul_p: the problem I see is the change for the debar handling
18:16 with dates and notes
18:17 chris_n thd: in reality they would not
18:17 cait a short warning to libraries updating might be good at least
18:17 magnuse joined #koha
18:17 mib_9y99lh joined #koha
18:17 cait in the release notes
18:17 thd chris_n: sorry, my question was meant with more humour than seriousness :)
18:17 paul_p cait, right. and that's what we were/are supposed to do.
18:17 chris_n :)
18:17 paul_p chris_n, was it in 3.6.1 ? (I think no)
18:17 Brooke thd Koha is srs buisnass ;)
18:17 chris_n paul_p: it?
18:18 magnuse #info Magnus Enger, Libriotech, Norway
18:18 paul_p chris_n, finedays
18:18 chris_n it does not apply cleanly atm
18:18 mib_9y99lh Question - I have the system set up to send emails to patrons about everything, yet it never sends emails, the status is always "pending".  Could there possibly be something I haven't clicked?  I feel like I've checked every box known to man.
18:18 sekjal a good plumbing-level-only change could be done without changing any outward appearance
18:18 paul_p chris_n, on 3.6 ? really ?
18:18 sekjal the followup for bug 5211 is a small example thereof
18:18 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5211 major, PATCH-Sent, ---, srdjan, ASSIGNED , marking lost (long overdue) not charging fines
18:18 chris_n paul_p: I'll look
18:19 oleonard Sorry mib_9y99lh, we are having a meeting at the moment
18:19 jcamins mib_9y99lh: there is a meeting going on right now, so you may have more luck in an hour.
18:19 jwagner mib_9y99lh, there is a meeting going on -- check to make sure the process_message_queue.pl cron job is running
18:19 chris_n paul_p: whats the bug number?
18:19 mib_9y99lh I didn't realize this was not the place to ask questions.  My bad.
18:19 Brooke it is just not right now ;)
18:19 paul_p chris_n, 632_
18:19 jcamins mib_9y99lh: no, it is. You just came at a bad time.
18:19 jwagner It's the place, just not the time
18:19 paul_p chris_n, 6328
18:19 cait it is the place, but once a month there is a meeting
18:20 Brooke if ye send it to the listserv, someone will pick it up most likely
18:20 cait ok
18:20 chris_n paul_p: its not in 3.6.x atm, and would not apply cleanly
18:20 cait fines in days?
18:20 wahanui i guess fines in days is debatable imho
18:20 chris_n seems so wahanui
18:21 Brooke rather than discuss every little bug
18:21 how bout we say that if there's a question, Paul and Chris will have a cage match
18:21 paul_p Brooke, you're right. but chris_n, please let me know if 6328 does not apply, because it's a BLO for us !
18:21 chris_n is there a large amount of concern about introducing fine-days fixes into 3.6?
18:21 paul_p: it does not
18:22 or would not for me this morning
18:22 I have to had time to update the bug
18:22 paul_p chris_n, for all french libraries, and most Spanish / italian libraries it is !
18:22 as, 99% of french libraries use fines in days
18:23 tajoli joined #koha
18:23 paul_p well... 60%. 39% doing no fines at all, and 1% fines in €
18:23 cait perhaps we could get a second sign-off? for 3.6 and a documentation?
18:23 chris_n if there is a fair amount of concern about introducing fine-days fixes into 3.6.x, please let me know
18:23 paul_p tajoli, hello ! could you confirm to chris_n that fines in days is something important for you too !
18:23 (we're just discussing of this)
18:23 tajoli yes, I confirm
18:24 slef I think it probably should be fixed in 3.6.x if not too disruptive
18:24 tajoli in Italy ALL library in practies use fine in days
18:24 chris_n sekjal: is this related to your earlier question of workflow?
18:24 jcamins tajoli: don't forget to introduce yourself with #info
18:24 tajoli No one use money
18:24 sekjal chris_n:  yes.  this doesn't just change how fine in days works
18:24 it changes how debarred works in general
18:24 tajoli #info Zeno Tajoli, CILEA (Italy)
18:25 jransom we use finesin nz
18:25 sekjal I think it's a great improvement, but I can see a library getting upset because something like this changes on them in the middle of a stable release
18:25 paul_p sekjal, if it's clearly announced in the release notes, I think it's not a so big change.
18:26 slef jransom: by charging them money or by banning a borrower for N days?
18:26 chris_n I'd like to hear from others on this
18:26 jransom charging money
18:26 chris_n before making a decision
18:26 paul_p fair. Do we drop a mail on koha ML ?
18:26 Brooke yes
18:26 thd Fixing a bug in a completely broken feature which is a use blocker might need some way of getting into stable.
18:26 Brooke this is way too granular for the meeting
18:26 so
18:26 tcohen joined #koha
18:27 paul_p chris_n, you do, or I do ? (the mail)
18:27 cait thd: the problem is, it never worked since 3.2
18:27 Brooke paul roadmap to 3.8 svp
18:27 jcamins moving_on++
18:27 cait and it changes the API and the interface
18:27 chris_n paul_p: go ahead
18:27 paul_p OK, will do.
18:27 cait that's why there is some concern
18:27 paul_p OK, 3.8 now
18:28 chris_n #info bug 6328 is on hold for 3.6.x pending list responses
18:28 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6328 major, PATCH-Sent, ---, paul.poulain, ASSIGNED , Fine in days does not work
18:28 slef paul_p: can you include an outline of the API change in the mail please?
18:28 thd The feature even if long broken is not new and is certainly necessary.
18:28 paul_p 1st a question: do ppl think a monthly mail from me is a good thing ?
18:28 Brooke yes
18:28 wizzyrea yep :
18:28 chris_n yes
18:28 tajoli For me yes
18:28 wizzyrea :)
18:28 thd How do libraries cope without the feature?
18:28 Irma me too yes
18:28 drojf yes
18:28 wizzyrea thd: take it to the list
18:28 jcamins +1
18:28 cait +1 for monthly mails
18:28 slef 0
18:28 paul_p OK, so I'll continue this way.

18:28 marijana +1
18:29 davidnind yes
18:29 dpavlin yes
18:29 thd +1 for more mail

18:34 slef: I've exhausted my database of quotes
18:34 wizzyrea I have a concern about patches that are skipping the QA step - I've seen a couple now, bug 4051, for example doesn't seem to have had a going over by one of the designated qa folks.
18:34 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4051 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, adrien.saurat, ASSIGNED , add columns to overdues export
18:34 paul_p wizzyrea, they haven't skipped the QA test, it's just that I made the QA.
18:34 slef oof sorry folks I just fell offline
18:34 paul_p (and pushed)
18:35 wizzyrea but, that's not the agreed situation?
18:35 paul_p wizzyrea, yes, that is.
18:35 sekjal wizzyrea:  the current set of QA rules we're operating under allow the RM to jump straight from a "Signed Off"  to a "Pushed"
18:35 wizzyrea I see.
18:35 sekjal provided that the author/signer are not from the same company
18:35 as the RM
18:35 paul_p I just don't do that for a patch made by BibLibre and signed-off by BibLibre too
18:36 and I try to do that on small patches.
18:36 cait if that's the agreed set of rules
18:36 should go on the wiki
18:36 wizzyrea hmm, 4051 doesn't follow that paradigm.
18:36 cait I am a bit more worried about untested follow ups
18:37 paul_p wizzyrea, I promize chris_c has not been hired by BibLibre yet ;-)
18:37 sekjal wizzyrea:  signoff is by rangi
18:37 dpavlin wizzyrea: I tend to belive RM with final decisions... What is your concern?
18:37 paul_p cait, do you have an example ?
18:37 cait the updatedatebase to the 'unknown' problem for item_DUE
18:37 sorry, I have a problem with numbers
18:37 but can find it
18:38 paul_p I have added a few follow-ups, but that was only comments or very minor things like that. Except for the item_DUE, that I tested before pushing.
18:38 wizzyrea ok, I concede that you got a signoff external to biblibre, but the patch was originally biblibre, and didn't go through a non biblibre QA. I'm not trying to generate work, I'm just trying to understand the rules.
18:38 paul_p cait, would you have prefered a failed QA because the updatedatabase is missing ?
18:38 cait yes
18:38 let me explain
18:39 paul_p wizzyrea, 4 steps (provide patch / sign-off patch / QA / push), there must be at least 2 companies involved.
18:39 cait and sorry for picking that - it was the fist I was thinking of
18:39 paul_p and, for "large" patch, I won't QA myself, even if I could with our rules
18:39 cait I was very surprised about the version numbering for this, so it's a good example perhaps anyway
18:40 and it would not have hurt to push the first patch - and the updatedatabase later on
18:40 slef I feel that RM should be reluctant to QA. If RM=QA then we've one less set of eyeballs. But sometimes it's necessary.
18:40 cait sorry, not trying to be annoying
18:40 wizzyrea I agree with slef.
18:40 paul_p cait, that's a topic i've added (database version)
18:40 maybe I changed something, without knowing...
18:41 sekjal #link http://www.mail-archive.com/ko[…]org/msg02253.html
18:41 tajoli Personaly I think that same time RM=QA is OK. Fore example SQL file of no-english languages
18:41 paul_p in the last days, I made some QA, but it was only for small/obvious patches, except the item_DUE one.
18:42 * slef notes his internet connection quality has gone through the floor :(
18:43 wizzyrea well I guess I'll be happy with it if it's the approved process.
18:43 sekjal in the link I just posted, I laid out 6 rules for QA
18:43 cait like wizzyrea said
18:43 or what she said
18:43 sekjal the only response on that thread was from paul_p
18:44 wizzyrea sekjal: your rules are sane.
18:44 * magnuse gotta catch a plane
18:44 sekjal thanks, wizzyrea.  I'd hoped so.  I think what remains is for the community as a whole to ratify or reject them
18:44 slef sekjal: I remember replying to the signed-off patches point. :-/
18:45 Brooke put it on the agenda
18:45 wizzyrea aha
18:45 Brooke that's how things get ratified or rejected :P
18:45 sekjal slef:  there were several concurrent threads on similar subjects; I may have misplaced your response.  looking...
18:46 slef sekjal: I may have mistakenly discarded the thread you linked as a duplicate. Too many people still cross-post to koha and koha-devel and sometimes it confuses me.
18:46 rangi morning
18:46 Brooke morena
18:46 paul_p 'morning rangi
18:46 Brooke we're getting really granular again
18:46 so
18:46 paul_p Brooke++
18:46 Brooke what do we want to do about qa?
18:47 tajoli Chiris, on your mail about 3.4.7 you insert the line RELEASE NOTES FOR KOHA 3.6.2
18:47 Brooke or were we just seeking a clarification?
18:47 paul_p i've another concern about QA/jenkins
18:47 druthb left #koha
18:47 paul_p i've added it on the agenda: when jenkins complains, what should be do ?
18:47 wizzyrea I think what he's doing now is just peachy
18:48 (good)
18:48 rangi ppl should fix the stuff they broke
18:48 slef (a slightly more general aside: can any msg me how to get a complete mbox-like copy of sekjal's email so I can reply to it?)
18:48 Brooke k moving on to what paul just mentioned
18:48 #topic Pushing a Patch with a Jenkins complain
18:48 Topic for #koha is now Pushing a Patch with a Jenkins complain
18:48 joannR brooke: what will do with these parked 'granular' issues that do need addressing
18:48 * rangi spent a few hours yesterday doing that for others
18:48 Brooke hopefully they'll go out to the list
18:48 get some sort of resolution
18:48 rangi bug 5327
18:48 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5327 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, gmcharlt, ASSIGNED , Unit tests required for all C4 modules
18:48 Brooke and come up again in a more condensed version
18:49 rangi and bug 5604
18:49 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5604 normal, PATCH-Sent, ---, nengard, ASSIGNED , additional icons for the Seshat set
18:49 Brooke or be ironed out on IRC while it's not the meeting
18:49 paul_p rangi++
18:49 rangi patches on those
18:49 Brooke we could address them here every month, but that is how you get 8 hour meetings.
18:49 slef paul_p: I'd pick option 1.5 ;-) maybe slower than immediate revert if a fix is promised, but revert breakages faster than a week if possible, else it may block some testers
18:49 rangi will stop jenkins complaining
18:49 paul_p i've pushed another fix to tests (boolean.t was wrong)
18:49 cait Brooke: I think we should talk about that here
18:49 really
18:50 jransom QA practice  is a critical issue
18:50 tcohen are we using any mock libs for unit tests?
18:50 cait I agree that we can't have unit tests and keep breaking them for weeks
18:50 jransom (but dont want an 8 hour meeting either :)
18:50 cait things that break unit tests should not go in
18:50 fail qa
18:50 paul_p cait++
18:51 wizzyrea right so that means that as developers we probably need to be more fastidious about running the unit tests on our work
18:51 cait it's easy to run the tests - we should add it to the development and qa workflows
18:51 slef well, yes, that's another aspect: why would such a thing be pushed?
18:51 tcohen cait++
18:51 cait and if it breaks - either the tests are wrong or the feature - but both should be fixed.
18:51 drojf cait++
18:52 paul_p cait, it's easy to run the tests, but there are so many, you don't always know which one to run
18:52 slef the developer failed to test, the signed-offer failed, QAM didn't flag it and RM didn't notice?
18:52 cait you can run them all
18:52 it's not that long
18:52 prove
18:52 one line in a window, do something else in another ;)
18:52 paul_p cait, jenkins need more than 1 hours to run all the tests !
18:52 rangi told me he ran 00.* before pushing anything.
18:52 wizzyrea #action someone please add documentation to the developer/git pages on the wiki on "how to run tests"
18:53 Brooke #help Add Documentation about Testing to the wiki
18:53 tcohen is there a guidelines section for writing testsunit ?
18:53 cait not usre, I thought they were running faster last time I did
18:53 rangi if you change a module, u should at least run its test
18:53 paul_p I think it's OK to have jenkins complaining, if we have a clear workflow like "if jenkins complains, if a patch is not provided in the next 7days, it will be reverted"
18:53 cait so perhaps it's a bit harder, but still not too hard
18:54 wizzyrea well I think we should head those off
18:54 rangi or change a template, run those tests
18:54 wahanui rangi: that doesn't look right
18:54 wizzyrea developer should run the test on their own work
18:54 cait forget that
18:54 wahanui cait: I forgot that
18:54 wizzyrea signoff should run the tests
18:54 cait that is <reply>
18:54 rangi u dont have to run all, but at least the relevant ones
18:54 * jcamins didn't find the tests took that long when he tried running them. I think Jenkins is on a VPS that doesn't have a lot of power because rangi donated it.
18:54 wizzyrea (and say they did, if they did, then qa may not need to!)
18:54 cait rangi++
18:54 rangi its on a biblibre one now
18:54 paul_p wizzyrea/rangi= but you have to know which one are relevant !
18:55 wizzyrea i am ok having a window on my test system running all of the tests.
18:55 as step 1 in this process.
18:55 rangi yes but if you change members.pm run at least members.t
18:55 paul_p agreed
18:55 wizzyrea and if you don't know, run em all!
18:55 sekjal any change to a C4 module requires that module to be tested (at least)
18:55 rangi if ppl want
18:55 wizzyrea you can always reference against jenkins
18:56 paul_p that could/should be added to QA workflow, isn't it ?
18:56 (in the QA comments)
18:56 rangi I can run a test writing tutorial on irc
18:56 wizzyrea I think it ought to be at all stages, developers are responsible too
18:56 mtj2 and if you did run *some* of the tests, for your patch - then state that info in the bugzilla update, etc...
18:56 paul_p rangi, test writing & test running ?
18:56 rangi so ppl can add tests when the add functions too
18:56 yep
18:57 paul_p great !
18:57 rangi I can show how to set git hooks
18:57 wizzyrea 1. if a dev runs the tests -> qa won't find anything wrong
18:57 rangi so git does it for u
18:57 jcamins rangi: oh, well, I still didn't think it took me an hour to run the tests.
18:57 rangi++
18:57 * oleonard wants to know more about git hooks
18:58 dpavlin should we run tests under some kind of harness and collect results like CPAN does? This might prove very useful for tracking endge cases?
18:58 rangi takes about 20 mins on my desktop
18:58 Brooke #idea harness test results
18:58 paul_p rangi, why does it take 1hour for jenkins ?
18:58 Brooke #idea teach people about the testing process
18:58 cait rangi++
18:58 paul_p (and just 20mn for you?)
18:58 cait love that idea
18:58 rangi it does a full makefile.pl
18:58 Brooke #idea update documentation to reflect what different developers do
18:58 making_koha_better++
18:59 rangi and runs coverage tests too
18:59 plus its java :)
18:59 wizzyrea keke
18:59 rangi and my desktop has a lot more ram
18:59 paul_p what's the diff between t and xt ?
19:00 rangi xt are not functional
19:00 jransom yup
19:00 paul_p (maybe not a question for the meeting...)
19:00 jransom oops
19:00 rangi the test things like are things transltable
19:00 * chris_n agrees that it is the dev's job to run tests and fix them
19:00 rangi etc
19:00 jransom im off folks - meetings to get to
19:00 rangi ok my bus stop bb soon
19:00 chris_n probably if a patch breaks a test it should be rejected
19:01 wizzyrea chris_n++ i agree - and qa should run them (if the signoff doesn't say that they did)
19:01 paul_p Brooke, next topic ?
19:01 Brooke not sure if we're exhausted on this
19:01 folks, what's your pleasure? We all talked out?
19:01 wizzyrea which actually brings up another question for me - how far does the responsibility of the signoff person go?
19:02 mtj2 if we can get better wiki-doc for devs running tests on their patches, we will all win - big time :)
19:02 wizzyrea make sure the functionality works? check the code for formatting errors?
19:02 paul_p mtate, right.
19:02 wizzyrea run the tests?
19:02 chris_n mtj2: prove t && prove xt
19:02 paul_p wizzyrea, make sure the feature works
19:02 chris_n then just watch the results
19:02 paul_p QA being "how the code is written"
19:02 slef wizzyrea: bare minimum, make sure the functionality works IMO. Ideally check formatting and run tests (and say that you have).
19:03 cait wizzyrea: I think important is to state what you have done in the patch or bug
19:03 thd wizzyrea: Depends on the standard which QA has the time to test.
19:03 chris_n cait++
19:03 wizzyrea ok cool, I always felt guilty when one of my signoffs dies in QA
19:03 cait so someone else will know what was tested and can do more testing based on that
19:03 if he/she thinks something was missed
19:03 wizzyrea "was my testing bad?"
19:03 thd wizzyrea: What slef said a minimum and document the level of testing.
19:04 cait we all miss things, we can only try to document what we do
19:04 I think
19:04 wizzyrea thanks, that clears it up for me
19:04 paul_p wizzyrea, when I QA, I sometimes don't look at the feature. I look at the code itself.
19:04 wizzyrea ^^ that is EXTREMELY helpful to know
19:05 so signoff = working as intended from the UI
19:05 slef I've failed at this myself. I will improve.
19:05 chris_n final QA is normally done during "alpha" and "beta" releases
19:05 paul_p (well 60% of the time, I also look at the feature. But with the *great* tests plan made by ppl like cait, it's often very easy !)
19:05 thd paul_p: How can you be certain that the code did not mislead you into believing that the feature works?
19:05 chris_n which we don't do
19:05 wizzyrea QA = look at the feature (possibly) and look at the code
19:05 paul_p thd, i'm not, I trust the author/signoff-er.
19:06 slef trust no-one
19:06 it's not paranoia because they're all out to get you
19:06 paul_p and, when the signoff has been made by cait or wizzyrea or oleonard, i'm more comfortable than when it has been signed-off by someone I never saw before
19:06 thd paul_p: OK. I usually find the other way round that testing the feature misleads people into believing that the code works.
19:06 rangi back
19:07 thd s/works/works as intended/
19:07 paul_p thd, right, and/but it really depends on how large the patch is and what kind of thing it impacts
19:07 cait paul_p: I miss things too, all the time
19:07 * wizzyrea too
19:08 Brooke so here's a thought
19:08 how about
19:08 we figure out when a logical downtime is
19:08 and run a training session for bugtesting
19:08 chris_n yes, but if QA includes running the test suite, you won't miss those failures
19:08 thd paul_p: I concede that for very small patches looking at the code is about the only useful thing to do.
19:08 Brooke or at least a moot about how folks test for qa
19:08 chris_n unless your screen breaks
19:08 wizzyrea what chris_n says
19:08 Brooke hackfest is logical, but lots of folks don't make conference
19:08 chris_n running the suite is super simple too
19:09 wizzyrea I think that we should strive to keep jenkins happy
19:09 paul_p Brooke, the idea of training session for bugtesting is great.
19:09 thd Brooke++
19:09 wizzyrea if jenkins is unhappy, someone has not done their job.
19:09 paul_p francharb was really pleased with what he learned at KohaCon11 !
19:09 wizzyrea and we're not going to point and blame - we're going to just fix it already.
19:09 francharb ++
19:10 thats true!
19:10 Brooke #idea a bugtesting training session at some point in a release cycle to bring new folks in and put old folks on the same page
19:10 indradg Brooke++
19:10 francharb one day i will write a "git-bz for the noob" post on biblibre blog! ;)
19:10 paul_p BibLibre will also organize a week of hackfestin march 2012
19:10 wizzyrea git bz is amazing
19:10 paul_p (like last year)
19:11 cait that was the idea of gbsd
19:11 paul_p it should be week 12 of 2012
19:11 cait to make more people interested and show them how to do things
19:11 in a group
19:11 wizzyrea oh, we should take a gbsd and squash the bugs out of our qa process :P
19:11 chris_n wizzyrea: we can keep jenkins happy if either QA or the RM will run the suite before every push
19:11 paul_p (should be confirmed and announced loudly next week)
19:11 cait we could add that to the next gbsd perhaps?
19:11 wizzyrea *nod*
19:11 cait some training sessions?
19:11 chris_n and we don't need a training session to do that
19:11 cait explicitly in the announcement, perhaps with times
19:11 * paul_p agrees for some training on next gbsd
19:12 Brooke #idea use next gbsd for bugtesting training
19:12 chris_n paul_p: what is wrong with running the test suite before you push and rejecting patches which cause failures?
19:12 paul_p chris_n, how long it takes
19:13 slef #idea someone add the set-bugzilla-metadata-like-status to git bz before I get time
19:13 chris_n so time trumps quality
19:13 ?
19:13 * dpavlin confused. prove t/ && prove xt/ takes 27+4 seconds for me. Am I missing something?
19:13 paul_p not only, jenkins is here to do that. What I must improve is my reaction when jenkins complains
19:13 chris_n no
19:13 I think what dpavlin said is true here
19:13 cait paul_p: perhaps try to run them on your local machine again?
19:13 rangi dpavlin: there is the t/db_dependent suite too
19:14 cait or part of it
19:14 chris_n even that is worth the wait
19:14 cait as rangi suggested
19:14 jcamins dpavlin: prove t ; prove xt ; prove t/db_dependent
19:14 paul_p db_dependant also requires to have a specific database (isn't it rangi ?)
19:14 rangi the important ones for templates images pod
19:14 are in xt/author/
19:15 dpavlin Thanks, keep hints comming, I will turn them into wiki page after meeting :-)
19:15 rangi any change you make to templates those are good to run, and are fast
19:15 wizzyrea dpavlin++
19:15 paul_p dpavlin++
19:15 chris_n dpavlin++
19:15 cait dpavlin++ for that and other useful documentation work!
19:15 rangi paul_p: a db with all the sample data loaded in, should work
19:15 jcamins dpavlin++
19:15 wizzyrea ooo
19:16 paul_p the sample datas that are in installer/data/mysql/en/* ?
19:16 rangi, the sample datas that are in installer/data/mysql/en/* ?
19:16 rangi yup
19:16 i havent set up a new one in a while
19:16 paul_p ok, will check & try
19:16 rangi but thats how i did it
19:17 Brooke okie dokie
19:17 now I think we can move to DB Version Numbering
19:17 yes?
19:17 wizzyrea great, thanks for talking that out peeps I feel a lot better.
19:17 mtj2 rangi: cool, is that the same db that jenkins is running every test too?
19:17 paul_p Brooke, I think so.
19:17 Brooke #topic DB Version Numbering Bug 6530
19:17 Topic for #koha is now DB Version Numbering Bug 6530
19:17 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6530 major, PATCH-Sent, ---, katrin.fischer, REOPENED , item due notice label saying 'unknown'
19:18 paul_p Here is my question: the next stable release will be 3.6.2, it means patches with an updatedatabase I push those days should be numbered 3.06.02.xxx, isn't it ?
19:18 cait I think we used to do it differently
19:18 wizzyrea well
19:18 cait but this can be discussed
19:18 it's a bit confusing that my master installation believes to be a 3.6.2
19:19 paul_p that's what rangi & chris_n told me, but I don't understand how/what it works
19:19 chris_n well
19:19 paul_p cait, but for ppl running stable/3.6.x, it's OK
19:19 chris_n it only "believes" that because of the way the number is parsed by about.pl
19:19 rangi i always pushed 3.3 and 3.5 to master
19:19 chris_n pushed 3.2 and 3.4 ones
19:19 wizzyrea odd numbers = dev version
19:19 chris_n however, we have been using odd numbers for development cycles and evens for stable
19:20 cait i liked it
19:20 * wizzyrea too
19:20 paul_p so, does it mean a DB rev that is in both will have 2 numbers ?
19:20 cait and easy to find out what someone is really running
19:20 paul_p (2 different numbers I mean)
19:20 cait paul_p: yes, that's how it was
19:20 paul_p so, when someone upgraded from a 3.2.x to 3.4.0, he got some update made twice ?
19:20 rangi usually very few go on the stable one
19:20 no
19:21 paul_p so there's something i'm still missing !
19:21 rangi he wouldnt go 3.2.x to 3.3.x to 3.4.x
19:21 so would only get it once
19:21 wizzyrea 3.2.x -> 3.4.0 directly.
19:22 paul_p mmm, sorry, I don't have it
19:23 cait perhaps looking at the updates for the last version will help to clear things up?
19:23 * chris_n thinks the bottom line is either way works so it is a matter of preference
19:23 paul_p cait, maybe
19:23 cait chris_n: for me part of it is consistency
19:23 chris_n so long as we don't move backwards :-)
19:23 cait and being able to ask someone who shows upon irc
19:23 wizzyrea we all know cait loves consistency
19:23 cait what he is running
19:23 nothing wrong with that :)
19:23 chris_n consistency++
19:23 cait I like change too - as long as it's consistent change :P
19:24 * wizzyrea ponders the fact that koha is nothing if not consistent change ;)
19:24 paul_p cait, if someone run master, he usually know it ! and when master becomes stable, a new "fake" DBrev will be introduced to tell him "3.08.00.001"
19:25 cait paul_p: I think I have to disagree here - people do weird tihngs :)
19:25 and: someone else installed it for me... I don't know what he did
19:25 jcamins paul_p: I disagree too.
19:25 A lot of people seem to have no idea what they're running.
19:25 Brooke in the before time, there was no about page.
19:26 mtj2 fiy: i think about.pl could be improved to detect/report a master install better
19:26 * Brooke nods.
19:26 rangi how
19:26 if not by version number
19:26 * paul_p digging into gitweb...
19:26 rangi how could it possibly know otherwise
19:26 chris_n @quote add <jcamins> A lot of people seem to have no idea what they're running.
19:26 huginn` chris_n: The operation succeeded.  Quote #170 added.
19:27 chris_n well
19:27 mtj2 rangi: the next point release after stable is master?
19:28 cait you can download snapshots from git too - so no need for it to be a git install
19:28 chris_n given paul_p's current practice about.pl could look at the dev portion of the version number
19:28 rangi no its not
19:28 chris_n given the other way, it could look for an odd minor reve number
19:28 rangi mtj2: 3.6.1 is 3.6.x branch
19:28 cait dep portion of the version number?
19:28 dev...
19:28 mtj2 ie: is 3.6.x is stable, then 3.x.x means you are running master?
19:29 chris_n cait: see comments in kohaversion.pl
19:29 mtj2 oops, s/is/if/
19:29 cait chris_n: sorry, don't get it, perhaps later
19:29 rangi right so version numbers
19:29 paul_p OK, I think i've my example...
19:29 rangi and no i might be running 3.2.x or 3.4.x
19:29 * chris_n thinks the arcane knowledge hidden there has been lost in the mists of koha history
19:29 paul_p in 3.4 updatedatabase :
19:30 4425 $DBversion = "3.04.05.001";
19:30 it's the same as in master
19:30 $DBversion = "3.05.00.019";
19:30 rangi yes
19:30 paul_p SO, someone running 3.4.5 and upgrading to 3.6.0 will have 3.5.0.019 run
19:30 rangi but not 3.6.x
19:31 no
19:31 paul_p ???
19:31 (that's what I've missed I feel)
19:31 rangi not nessecarily, some are checked
19:31 generally it works because you dont do updatedatabase on stable branches
19:31 unless its a big bug
19:31 paul_p (in this case, it's not -but it won't harm, the UPDATE will just make nothing-)
19:32 rangi and yup
19:32 but if we number it 3.6.x we still have 3.4.x branch now, so it just shifts the problem
19:32 paul_p OK, but I feel it introduces a risk of inconsistency
19:32 (and inconsistency is bad ;-) )
19:33 rangi, right
19:33 chris_n so we need to patch kohaversion.pl to explain correctly then
19:33 schuster joined #koha
19:33 rangi so i still like master to run odd numbers so its obvious its dev
19:33 and stable even
19:33 Brooke #help patch kohaversion.pl to explain numbering
19:33 paul_p maybe all this discussion will become useless with the new DB update system : we could have "patch applied" coming from the db update and "kohaversion" coming from kohaversion.pl !
19:33 * chris_n tends to lean toward the even/odd system too
19:34 paul_p rangi, you mean that before releasing, you update all DB numbers in updatedatabase ?
19:34 rangi no, i think we are talking past each other and that the problem is not solvable by using different numbers
19:34 schuster question for your jquery folks - on the results page in opac can jquery change [electronic resource] to say [ebook title] so we wouldn't have to break cataloging rules and "redo" all of those MARC records?
19:35 wizzyrea schuster: meeting time
19:35 rangi schuster: we are in a meeting
19:35 schuster oh sorry...
19:35 wizzyrea :) all good :)
19:35 rangi paul_p: so whatever number we use because we have 3 branches
19:35 there will be the chance of double ups
19:35 so just pick a convention, and stick with it is fine
19:35 cait schuster: yes
19:36 schuster got my answer thanks all - I even knew there was a meeting today. sorry
19:36 wizzyrea don't be
19:37 Brooke k
19:37 we talked out on this?
19:37 * Brooke not so secretly hopes so.
19:38 Brooke #topic KohaCon 2012
19:38 Topic for #koha is now KohaCon 2012
19:38 * chris_n thinks it is a matter of preference more than a matter of functionality
19:38 chris_n opps
19:38 Brooke slef go!
19:38 paul_p Brooke, I think so, but i'm still not clearly decided... will think of it and maybe drop a mail to koha-devel !
19:38 wizzyrea-lunch (sorry, gonna eat my arm off)
19:38 chris_n lol
19:38 slef #link http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ategory:KohaCon12
19:39 We're still negotiating the venue *sigh*
19:39 Brooke time's a tickin
19:39 paul_p slef, nego with who ?
19:39 cait so no dates yet?
19:39 slef Yeah. I thought we had an agreement, but then what we were mailed diverged in some important ways, so round we go again.
19:40 I'm 98% sure we'll be 5th-11th June 2012.
19:40 cait cool!
19:40 Brooke if it's not nailed down by next meeting, then what?
19:40 slef But I don't want to tell people to buy travel until we're sure.
19:41 Brooke: if it's not nailed down before Christmas, I think we switch to a backup venue.
19:41 Brooke k
19:41 cause it's probably cutting a real fine line with folks' budgeting cycles
19:41 thd slef: Do you have a backup venue?
19:41 slef thd: yes
19:42 Brooke anything else that's new or interesting to report?
19:42 * thd thinks tents on the city green would be a fine backup venue.
19:42 slef those of you who have seen pics/vids, hopefully can see why we think this is first choice
19:42 paul_p slef, how do you plan to have the conf: 3 days conf + 3 days hackfest ?
19:42 with 1 day of between them ?
19:43 slef #help please put into the wishlist ideas you want
19:43 paul_p: yes, exactly that! :)
19:44 cait only 3 days hackfest?
19:44 ;)
19:44 slef I'd also like any ideas for the day off, please; and if anyone might be interested in a road trip from any English cities (I guess many will fly into London?)
19:44 Brooke road trip++
19:44 <--- prolly not going though
19:44 paul_p slef, fly to london ? why ? Isn't Edinburg a great place ?
19:45 slef I think ideas we have had are a tour of Edinburgh and a fishing trip. But first we sort out the conf.
19:45 * paul_p dreams of a day off in the country...
19:45 jcamins slef: Saint Andrews!
19:45 paul_p fishing trip++++++ !
19:45 * jwagner has been wanting to go to the Lake District for years
19:45 dpavlin From last KohaConf, we will be half-exsausted by 4th day, something easy please :-)
19:45 jcamins dpavlin: Saint Andrews is easy.
19:45 slef paul_p: Edinburgh and Glasgow have some international air links, but London is a big hub.
19:45 jcamins And beautiful.
19:45 paul_p is loch ness far from Edinburg ?
19:45 jcamins paul_p: easy day trip.
19:45 slef paul_p: heh. yes.
19:45 dpavlin Loch Ness++
19:46 slef I've no idea if that's doable in a day, but we can check. Update the wishlist wiki, please!
19:46 thd paul_p: flying direct to Edinburgh is more expensive from most places than direct to London.
19:46 slef But anyway, first we sort out the conf.
19:46 Brooke anything else?
19:46 wahanui it has been said that anything else is just piling mess on top
19:47 slef Not from me. Any questions?
19:47 schuster When we went years ago it was fly into London, take train to Edinburgh - I recommend the scotch museum...:)
19:47 ibeardslee scotch museum+++
19:47 jcamins Whiskey included with your admission ticket, if you're over 18.
19:47 Brooke #topic KohaCon2013
19:47 Topic for #koha is now KohaCon2013
19:48 slef schuster: yes, there are fast trains from London King's Cross, sleepers from London Euston and cheap buses from London Victoria. This will be documented once we have dates.
19:48 mglavica joined #koha
19:48 slef schuster: but I will be travelling a non-straightforward route anyway, and I enjoyed the road trip, so I keep it in mind as a possibility.
19:49 Brooke personally, I think we should hold off on proposals until after Scotland; folks might be inspired to bid after the Conference that wouldn't before it

19:50 ibeardslee the LCA announce their next conference at the conference
19:50 * Brooke nods
19:50 Brooke my Fraternity did it that way for 2 years out.
19:50 ibeardslee very handy for people to start the planning of travel etc
19:50 * Brooke nods.
19:50 dpavlin DebConf usually have at least proposal on conferece, and then continues to mail-it-to-death for a year
19:51 We *might* propose Zagreb and our Univeristity librarary, but our fear is lack of commercial prospect in the region.
19:51 thd I am all for mail-it-to-death contests
19:51 schuster #info schuster - David Schuster Plano ISD.
19:51 slef I think debconf is currently proposing for 2013?
19:52 tajoli In theory koha 2013 for Africa or Soth America
19:52 slef there was mail about it today... I knew I should have read it properly ;-)
19:52 Brooke zeno would be nice but can't happen without folks stepping up
19:52 jenkins_koha Project Koha_3.4.x build #66: STILL UNSTABLE in 1 h 23 mn: http://jenkins.koha-community.[…]ob/Koha_3.4.x/66/
19:52 * f.demians: 3.4.7 Translation Update
19:52 * chris.nighswonger: Updating Version Number to 3.04.07.000
19:52 Brooke I hear a lot from Africa that they definitely want conference *sometime* but not _nexttime_
19:52 jenkins_koha Starting build 67 for job Koha_3.4.x (previous build: STILL UNSTABLE -- last SUCCESS #50 2 mo. 0 j ago)
19:53 tajoli I'm think of Venezuela. They don't speak abot a state version of Koha ?
19:53 thd Brooke, which countries do you hear from in Africa?
19:54 Brooke some Nigerians have mentioned it here and there, and way back there was rumour of SA
19:54 slef I would love it if we could get it if people were starting to propose kohacon X+2 at kohacon X. Is that doable?
19:54 Brooke if it's *at* KohaCon, it also has to be over IRC
19:54 imo
19:54 dpavlin +2 seems totally resonable.
19:54 Brooke because I don't want to disenfranchise folks that don't show to conference
19:55 thd Brooke++
19:55 paul_p I think i would prefer KohaCon with many attendees in a continent where we already had one more than a new continent with only a few attendees...
19:55 tajoli Clearly
19:55 thd paul_p++
19:55 slef Brooke: or video pitches.
19:55 dpavlin but we should shift continents yearly, right?
19:56 paul_p dpavlin, yes. But you know, UK is not really Europe :D :D :D
19:56 Brooke I think shifting it builds interest
19:56 tajoli For Zagreb is Ok for 2013
19:56 thd We should not make rules about venue location which primarily result in poor attendance.
19:56 Brooke but if we get a bid for Zagreb
19:56 and no one else bids
19:56 then
19:56 hooray :)
19:56 slef paul_p: stop trying to disown us. We still love you, despite Sarkozy!
19:56 thd It is perfectly reasonably for places with more interest in Koha to host more conferences.
19:56 cait paul_p++
19:57 Brooke thd that's what local conferences are made for
19:57 that and practice for international
19:57 if you hated hosting your local conference, you'd prolly loathe hosting KohaCon
19:57 cait zagreb++ :)
19:57 Brooke conversely, if you're a masochist, eyes wide open.
19:57 thd Brooke: You are correct about the purposes of local conferences.
19:58 Brooke again personally, I just don't want it to degrade into the US and EU have Conference 4 EVAR
19:58 dpavlin Let's consider Zagreb backup option for 2013.
19:59 Brooke dpavlin, I don't see any reason you can't start checking things out
19:59 worse comes to worst
19:59 you have information for next time round
19:59 thd Brooke: However, conference venue rotation rules should not force a venue where there is insufficient interest in actually organising a conference.
19:59 Brooke I think Zagreb would be neat
19:59 paul_p maybe what we should do now is drop a mail to koha ML to say "hey, who is interested to host KohaCon13" ?
19:59 Brooke insufficient interest would mean no proposal from that region thd
20:00 davidnind left #koha
20:00 slef (dagnabbit where was that email about debconf?)
20:00 paul_p++
20:00 cait yes +1
20:00 dpavlin paul_p++
20:01 thd Brooke: Exactly, we should not push people hard to hold a conference in some location where we have not had one if they really have not enough interest to put themselves forward.
20:01 Brooke #action mail a proposal out to the list about hosting 2013
20:01 slef so does cait or dpavlin volunteer to send that email? ;-)
20:01 paul_p dpavlin, you start a wiki page & drop a mail to koha general ML ?
20:01 slef or do either want to bid? ;-)
20:01 * dpavlin grrr...
20:01 thd Brooke: Otherwise I agree completely about rotating locations and definitely not having US and EU in alternating turns.
20:01 slef or shall I? As we deffo won't bid.
20:02 Brooke you do it slef :P
20:02 * Brooke flexes her authoritay
20:02 tajoli In fact now the real option are USA, EU, India NZ, AU
20:02 dpavlin I think we might want to move away from Europe in 2013 if possible, but I would appiricate mailing list summary from somebody else since I'm not native speaker :-)
20:03 cait I like someone hosting who is present on lists and irc before offering
20:03 drojf cait++
20:03 cait if that makes sense
20:03 schuster Ya'll could come back to Plano TX USA, but I suspect you want to see another part of the US!  LOL...
20:03 rangi plano was fun
20:04 and that media center was top notch
20:04 thd tajoli: I expect good proposals from all of those places and their near neighbours.
20:04 paul_p cait++
20:04 yep, plano was really great !
20:04 * oleonard would love a KohaCon in bag's neck of the woods
20:04 Brooke aye
20:04 or DC
20:04 tajoli But for example Pakistan (with users and firm) is quite difficult for many of us
20:05 Brooke ;)
20:05 schuster tks all...  I enjoyed having you all here.
20:05 Brooke so movin' on
20:05 #topic Koha Christmas Party
20:05 Topic for #koha is now Koha Christmas Party
20:06 Brooke rangi, yes?
20:06 thd The longer ahead we could actually schedule a conference the better prospects people might have of obtaining low prices for the excursion.
20:06 rangi oh, we should have one
20:06 and you should cater
20:06 that is all
20:07 oleonard What is a Koha Christmas Party?
20:07 rangi someone suggested it on irc, so i put it on the agenda
20:07 i have no idea
20:07 sekjal if it involves baked goods, I'm there!
20:08 cait heh
20:08 coookies!
20:08 rangi something like gbsd ... but with less work more talking rubbish on irc :)
20:08 Brooke *cough* we could do it over someone's Birthday
20:08 JesseM Send all gifts to HLT!
20:08 Brooke #justsayin
20:08 * oleonard doesn't need a holiday to talk rubbish on irc
20:08 thd rangi: yes GBSD in reverse.
20:08 cait so more like a friday than like gbsd :)
20:08 sekjal thd:  global bug-creating day?
20:09 drojf local
20:09 Brooke which Friday? Proper eNZed Friday, or that late Friday everyone else celebrates?
20:09 oleonard Sometimes I think that's what GBSD ends up being sekjal (or at least bug-finding)
20:10 cait oleonard++

20:15 dpavlin Where do I configure database which t/db_dependent uses? in current KOHA_CONF ?
20:15 Should we suggest to run tests under new database, so that people don't run it on production by mistake?
20:16 rangi dpavlin: yes
20:16 good idea
20:16 Brooke 4 January 10 UTC?

20:30 JesseM joined #koha
20:30 cait oleonard: I will join you after doing the dishes
20:31 thd slef: would 'KohaCon 2012' work almost as well as 2612?
20:31 oleonard KohaCon 2612 is going to be great, except for the mutants.
20:31 slef thd: oh did I write that in an email?

20:34 thd slef: OK, We really need to develop natural language processing for our computer so that yours know 'KohaCon 2012' should be filed in the 2612 index.
20:34 slef thd: snap!
20:36 hrm... I think I could upgrade our filer so that if a human identifies the keyword(s) it could try to make a guess
20:36 ooh that's sick

20:53 Brooke as in the stuff that goes out the most?
20:53 oleonard Yes
20:53 cait hm
20:53 Brooke hellz yes it would be
20:53 cait i think some libaries use it
20:53 what's broken with it?
20:53 Brooke that would be a key call for the shtuff hlt wants to do
20:54 if you can localise it to a shelf range somehow, I'll give you a cookie.
20:54 oleonard It doesn't handle the AdvancedSearchTypes pref correctly, doesn't handle item-level_itypes correctly, doesn't display title information well
20:54 What do you mean about stuff hlt wants to do Brooke?
20:54 * oleonard was just going to fix one small i18n bug...
20:55 cait oleonard: and thank you for that!
20:55 and I understand what you are saying... hm.
20:55 are there bug reports for that?

20:57 wizzyrea hm members.t wants a branchcode of 's' which doesn't exist in the sample data
20:58 * wizzyrea just made a whole new database for running tests against
20:58 wizzyrea with all of the sample data
20:58 cait wizzyrea++
21:00 Brooke hooray thanks liz :)
21:00 und nao
21:00 kitty feeding time
21:02 wizzyrea so, I can either change the test to look for a branch in the sample data, or add another test branch
21:02 whaddya think
21:05 jcamins Use one already in the sample data.
21:05 wizzyrea an answer, I'm for this.
21:05 :)
21:05 jcamins Or create a branch at the beginning of the test and remove it at the end.
21:05 wizzyrea hmm
21:06 jcamins You didn't want an easy answer, did you?
21:06 wizzyrea I think it's better to make sure the necessary stuff is in the sample data
21:06 perhaps a new category for "developer test data"
21:06 rangi a lot of the tests create and remove
21:07 becuase you have to test the create :)
21:07 paul_bed joined #koha
21:07 rangi but for branches, using the ones in the sample .. when testing say members
21:07 is a good idea
21:07 wizzyrea right - it looks like reserves.t is looking for a bib though, and if you don't have any...
21:07 * jcamins personally prefers that option, because that way you don't have to keep two DB configs synced.
21:08 * wizzyrea will fix members.t tho
21:08 wizzyrea bc that's annoying ;)
21:08 rangi i think i fixed it already?
21:09 wizzyrea no, I found this problem when I was testing your patch yesterday
21:09 that it was trying to use a branchcode that didn't exist
21:09 and was failing
21:09 unless you fixed that
21:09 you fixed the other thing in members.t, the real problem
21:09 I think
21:10 * wizzyrea will stop talking now
21:10 rangi ah
21:11 right, yeah feel free to change the branchcode, it uses s i think
21:11 wizzyrea yes, exactly
21:11 imma just change it to one that exists in the sample data
21:11 that makes it easy
21:11 rangi yup
21:13 jcamins Hm. We're still missing field 545.
21:13 Didn't I patch that?
21:14 I did.

21:26 rhcl http://scistarter.com/project/[…]ou%20Feel%20It%3F
21:26 wizzyrea usgs does something similar
21:26 rangi http://xkcd.com/723/
21:26 oleonard NCARMichael: You can't, short of customizing the template as far as I know
21:26 NCARMichael okay, just wondered.
21:27 oleonard NCARMichael: What change were you hoping to make?
21:27 wizzyrea hehehehe
21:27 love that xkcd
21:27 indradg hi... what controls the display order of "libraries" if a search is performed across branches? is it the ASC sort of "library code" setup during defining a library?
21:27 NCARMichael i wanted to just have a Public Note for each item in my List that described each item.
21:27 wizzyrea yep
21:28 they are alpha usually by branch name, sometimes by branch code
21:28 oleonard NCARMichael: The trouble is a public note is an item-level bit of information and lists show biblio-level information (mostly)
21:28 wizzyrea there is no definable sort
21:28 rangi only a little one, but close and shallowish
21:28 http://geonet.org.nz/earthquak[…]uakes/latest.html
21:28 NCARMichael right
21:28 indradg wizzyrea, have a look -> http://central.tnopac.gov.in/c[…]clerical+aptitude
21:29 wizzyrea, thats why I asked
21:29 wizzyrea not sure what you're getting at
21:29 you're sorting by relevance
21:30 branch doesn't really factor in to that afaik
21:30 huginn` New commit(s) needsignoff: [Bug 5473] 952 fields should be filled in by Acquisitions <http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5473>
21:30 jcamins Only if you're searching by something that matches a branch name.
21:30 wizzyrea unless I'm missing something
21:30 oh right, if you search for clerical aptitude branchname
21:31 then it will bring back ones for that branch
21:31 * jcamins considers that the desired behavior.
21:31 indradg wizzyrea, never mind... i got it... the display order is being driven by the sort listing on the right
21:31 * wizzyrea does too
21:31 wizzyrea oh good oki
21:31 :)

21:33 from zoodoo last night
21:34 cait oh cute
21:36 NCARMichael SQL...how does one make report results hyperlinked to bibrecords?
21:36 Let's say I want results listed by hyperlinked title
21:36 wizzyrea http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]rts_Library#Links
21:36 jcamins CONCAT("beginning of url", biblio.biblionumber, "end of url")
21:36 sql reports library?
21:36 wahanui sql reports library is at http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]L_Reports_Library
21:36 jcamins wizzyrea: :P
21:36 wizzyrea :P
21:37 links in reports is at http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]rts_Library#Links
21:37 links in reports?
21:37 wahanui hmmm... links in reports is at http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]rts_Library#Links
21:37 wizzyrea forget links in reports
21:37 wahanui wizzyrea: I forgot links in reports
21:37 wizzyrea links in reports is <reply> links in reports are found at http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]rts_Library#Links
21:37 NCARMichael i could've figured that out myself...i just like making y'all paste links.
21:38 wizzyrea hehe
21:38 links in reports?
21:38 wahanui links in reports are found at http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]rts_Library#Links
21:38 indradg rangi, is that a racoon?
21:38 rangi red panda
21:38 aka firefox
21:39 cait oh!
21:41 indradg aah
21:41 jcamins Hm. 242 doesn't show up.
21:43 wizzyrea is there some known issue with t/db_dependent/Search.t
21:44 NCARMichael SQL runtime parameters...apparently itemtype is not the code that will give me the item type dropdown... WHERE location = <<Location|LOC>> AND itemtype = <<Item Type|itemtype>>
21:44 wizzyrea itype maybe?
21:44 jcamins itype, I think.
21:45 NCARMichael nope
21:45 no workie
21:45 wizzyrea did you happen to look at the manual
21:45 because I know they are listed
21:45 NCARMichael maybe items.itype?
21:45 no
21:46 wizzyrea itemtypes
21:46 cait try
21:46 yes that
21:46 wizzyrea http://manual.koha-community.o[…]html#customreport
21:46 sekjal what wizzyrea said
21:46 wizzyrea section 1.1.2
21:46 NCARMichael bingo!
21:46 thx
21:47 wizzyrea the_manual++
21:47 "The only supported dropdowns at this time are Branches (branches), Item Types (itemtypes) and Patron Categories (categorycode)."
21:48 NCARMichael ah, good to know
21:48 actually, i'm using LOC dropdown
21:48 wizzyrea it's in the manual ;)
21:48 NCARMichael shelving location
21:48 wahanui shelving location is now in italic underneath the library name.
21:48 wizzyrea authorized values work too
21:49 that's in the manual too.
21:50 * sekjal wants to enable "date" support, so a little Javascript calendar can be added (instead of a dropdown)
21:50 sekjal for all those date-range queries
21:52 wizzyrea oooo
21:52 that would be cool
21:55 indradg groups in koha?
21:55 sekjal okay, time to jet.  night, #koha!
21:55 wizzyrea only partially implemented iirc
21:57 NCARMichael SQL is hard...can't get this one to work.
21:57 http://paste.koha-community.org/138
21:58 ideally, it'd spit out a hyperlinked list for me.
21:58 jcamins NCARMichael: don't use the ExtractValue.
21:58 Use biblio.title.
21:58 NCARMichael oh, i took this from another report i had that (sort of) works...thus the ExtractValue
21:58 wizzyrea I think the report you're looking for is in the library
21:58 sql reports library?
21:58 wahanui sql reports library is probably at http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]L_Reports_Library
21:58 jcamins Oh, yeah, it is.
21:59 NCARMichael i not see it
21:59 wizzyrea http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]brary#Items_with_.22X.22_.26_.22Y.22_ITypes
22:00 NCARMichael hm...okay, i'll plug it in.
22:00 wizzyrea that may not be exactly what you want
22:00 bu it's pretty close
22:03 drojf1 joined #koha
22:04 rangi hmm how do you allow ppl to choose pre due messages i wonder, hmmm ill go check the manual
22:05 cait what's the question?
22:05 message preferences?
22:06 rangi well i can see prefs for item checkout
22:06 hold filled
22:06 item check in
22:06 cait advance notice
22:06 NCARMichael okay, "items with x and y itypes"...Koha won't even save it for me.  Error.
22:07 wizzyrea space at the beginning?
22:07 rangi but i want to let them choose pre due ones
22:07 NCARMichael let's see
22:07 cait should be in there
22:07 rangi hmm
22:07 cait it's not configurable
22:07 which leaves
22:07 jquery, javascript or entries missing from the database table
22:07 wizzyrea isn't it on the patron detail
22:07 rangi not loaded in from db or something
22:07 yeah it should be wizzyrea
22:07 but its not
22:07 NCARMichael ah, ok.  now i'm closer.
22:07 cait should be 5 entries
22:08 rangi this is an 3.2.11 one
22:08 cait advanced notice, item due, hold, check out, check in
22:08 rangi but upgraded from 2.2.5
22:08 cait should be still there
22:08 wizzyrea ohh
22:08 rangi so it might have not got added
22:08 cait 3.2.11 had those features
22:08 wizzyrea enhancedmessagingpreferences is on?
22:08 rangi yup
22:08 i see 3
22:08 not 5
22:09 cait message_attributes
22:09 wahanui i think message_attributes is just a list of all the patron-controllable messages in the system
22:09 cait chekc the table
22:09 rangi never mind ill figure it out its the db no doubt
22:16 wizzyrea rangi
22:16 I think item due is pre-due
22:16 NCARMichael still struggling here...
22:16 http://paste.koha-community.org/139
22:16 cait hm no
22:16 item due is item due
22:16 NCARMichael how do i squeeze that concat in there
22:16 rangi Advance Notice
22:16 cait pre due is advance notice
22:16 * wizzyrea doesn't have pre due either
22:16 rangi yep, found it in the db
22:16 wizzyrea oh advance
22:17 we should call it that :P
22:17 cait you can rename it, but be consistent
22:17 wizzyrea no no
22:17 it is called advance, not pre-due
22:17 * wizzyrea was looking for pre-due
22:17 wizzyrea derp.
22:19 rangi well its called predue in some places
22:19 wizzyrea NCARMichael: http://paste.koha-community.org/140 but I haven't tested it.
22:20 NCARMichael thx
22:20 wizzyrea oh wait
22:20 I see a problem already
22:20 oh, wait again, never mind. lol
22:21 cait rangi: it is?
22:21 NCARMichael shouldn't there be a comma after biblio.biblionumber?  before CONCAT?
22:21 anyway, i'll test it
22:21 rangi in the notices it is
22:21 cait oh
22:21 rangi nstaller/data/mysql/en/mandatory/sample_notices.sql:('circulation','PREDUE','Advance Notice of Item Due','Advance Notice of Item Due','Dear <<borrowers.firstname>> <<borrowers.surname>>,\r\n\r\nThe following item will be due soon:\r\n\r\n<<biblio.title>>, <<biblio.author>> (<<items.barcode>>)'),
22:21 wizzyrea ah yea
22:21 rangi so you assign a PREDUE to the Advanced Notice
22:22 just to be nice and clear and not at all confusing ;)
22:22 NCARMichael ooh!  i think this is working!
22:23 i hate reports, until they work.
22:25 thank the Wiz
22:25 jcamins Okay, time to head downtown-ish.

23:40 wizzyrea right so Serials.t requires at least one subscription in your test db
