12:25 jcamins_away paul_p: around?
12:25 paul_p jcamins_away, yep (back from lunch)
12:26 jcamins_away paul_p: does bug 7167 still need sign-off? It looks to me like it's just waiting for QA?
12:26 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7167 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, paul.poulain, ASSIGNED , updatedatabase improvements
12:27 paul_p jcamins_away, yep
12:27 jcamins_away, and I sent a mail to sekjal & marcel to ask for QA
12:27 jcamins_away Okay, good.
12:28 * jcamins_away is looking forward to it being pushed so that bug 1633 can be pushed.
12:28 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=1633 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, kmkale, ASSIGNED , Add ability to take book cover images from local img db
12:28 paul_p (sekjal told me yesterday on IRC that he had a busy week dedicated to customer. I feel the QA won't be made this week :( )

12:41 chris_n did someone say lunch?
12:45 paul_p yes me ;-)
12:45 hi chris_n, good morning
12:45 * jcamins_away is wrapping fudge.
12:45 jcamins_away Again.

13:13 oleonard Whassup #koha?
13:14 hdl1 ...
13:15 paul_p hello oleonard
13:15 oleonard, seen your follow-up for floating button, will push it today)
13:15 oleonard Thanks for catching that issue

13:28 kf jcamins_away: fudge for cutomers?
13:31 paul_p oleonard, I was lucky : I saw it just because I wanted to reach acquisition module after changing branch, and ... the page was displaying the problem. If I had wanted to go to patron or circ, I wouldn't have seen it !
13:33 ago43 joined #koha
13:34 kf paul_p: more eyes find more things :)
13:35 paul_p kf, yep
13:35 (and, -sorry to repeat- merging soon means more eyes and time for testing)
13:38 rocknet joined #koha
13:39 kf paul_p: I think a fast qa/testing cycle is good
13:39 but not persuaded it leads to more testing once things are in
13:40 we are nto good at general koha testing
13:40 paul_p nto ?
13:40 not
13:40 gotcha.
13:40 what do you mean by "not good" ?
13:42 rocknet joined #koha
13:42 JesseM joined #koha
13:44 kf we don't test once thigns are in
13:44 people are interested to get new features, bug fixes, so they test _to_ get them into koha
13:44 once things are in, we are not good at testing
13:44 and even teh before part needs more eyes and hands
13:55 paul_p (that's one of the reasons why I'd like to have sandboxes, but couldn't find time to setup them until now :( )
13:55 do you think that I should add something about that in my monthly newsletter ? something like : "last month, the following scripts have been updated : ...."
13:56 with such a list, that could be easier to test if you're not following what has been merged everyday
13:56 (kf: ping. read previous lines)
13:57 sekjal joined #koha
13:58 kf paul_p: not sure, a lit of bugs perhaps
13:58 paul_p: I really don't have a lot of ideas of how to encourage people :(
13:58 sekjal left #koha
13:59 paul_p kf, mmm... both would be needed : "script xxx.pl has been updated by patch of bug NNNN"
13:59 kf paul_p: I only have the feeling that we need more hands/eyes/people testing in general. But not sure how to make it easier. There are already demo installations running from master, but people don't test there.
14:00 paul_p with one or two sandbox (I could set much easier than automated sandbox for each bug), that should be a good plan... will think of it...
14:00 kf paul_p: someone was suggesting a new script for huginn, but perhaps could be a mail too
14:00 mail a random bug that has not been touched in a long time
14:00 like a "bug of the day"
14:00 perhaps stupid, but could also generate some comments/actions
14:01 paul_p kf, I have sent last week a mail about some (5) bugs that have an old patch ... I had no visible/readable feedback
14:01 kf and I think the call for test data got some response, so perhaps a call for testing a specific module for feature from time to time on the mailing list could work too
14:01 paul_p: I have seen them :(
14:01 will try to comment, but some thigns are really hard to figure out / test
14:02 paul_p kf, A few patches waiting for your signature...
14:02 kf I have a big backlog in testing things... I do at least 1 hour each day. but that's not nearly enough
14:02 and work is crazy right now
14:02 I want to concentrate more on I18N/acq issues
14:02 but time is really a problem :(
14:03 trea joined #koha
14:09 kf paul_p: can you point me to your mail?
14:15 @wunder Konstanz
14:15 huginn` kf: The current temperature in Konstanz, Germany is 6.0°C (3:00 PM CET on December 14, 2011). Conditions: Light Rain Showers. Humidity: 82%. Dew Point: 5.0°C. Pressure: 29.81 in 1009 hPa (Rising).
14:16 oleonard jcamins_away: Really away?
14:22 pastebot "oleonard" at 66.213.78.34 pasted "ListImagesForBiblio" (16 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/151
14:23 oleonard why is the array size returned by that subroutine 1 when there are zero images?
14:24 kf oleonard: I assume he is back to wrapping fudge :)
14:29 magnuse oleonard: is there anything in the array?
14:30 oleonard If I use Data::Dumper to output the returned array it says "$VAR1 = undef;"
14:32 maximep joined #koha
14:32 oleonard I'm not saying it's doing something wrong necessarily, I just don't understand why it does what it does
14:32 paul_p kf, http://lists.koha-community.or[…]ember/036622.html
14:32 (phone rang, sorry for the delay)
14:33 oleonard I would expect to be able to use, in the template "[% IF ( images.size > 0 ) %]" to conditionally output information
14:33 Instead I must say [% IF ( images.size > 1 ) %]
14:33 magnuse oleonard: could the return statement result in just one array bing returned? return @imagenumbers, $sth->errstr;
14:33 kf paul_p: np
14:37 chris_n oleonard: what magnuse said
14:37 oleonard sorry, I don't understand
14:38 chris_n returning the db error string probably always results in return array size of at least one
14:38 magnuse my gut feeling was that @imagenumbers $sth->errstr might be seen as just one array by the calling code
14:39 chris_n its really not good practice to do it that way
14:39 ie "The errstr() method should not be used to test for errors, use err() for that, because drivers may return 'success with information' or warning messages via errstr() for methods that have not 'failed'."
14:39 magnuse and the calling code treats the error string as a an imagenumber:
14:39 +        foreach (ListImagesForBiblio($biblionumber)) {
14:39 +            DelImage($_);
14:39 +        }
14:39 chris_n the routine should check for db errors internally and only return if there are actual erros
14:39 errors, even
14:40 magnuse: right on the return value being one array
14:41 libsysguy joined #koha
14:41 chris_n where's that code at?
14:42 magnuse chris_n: http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]hment.cgi?id=6755
14:43 * chris_n notes that this patch adds a what appears to be unrelated line to Makefile.PL
14:46 chris_n yeah, that sub needs to be changed to return a null value if there is a db error
14:46 libsysguy so random question...we have global bug squishing day....what about refactoring?
14:46 chris_n it already logs it
14:47 ie. if ($sth->errstr) { log error; return;}
14:47 and then let the caller handle it
14:48 alex_a joined #koha
14:53 magnuse chris_n: can you add that as a comment on bug 1633?
14:53 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=1633 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, kmkale, ASSIGNED , Add ability to take book cover images from local img db
14:54 magnuse libsysguy: feel free to initiate a GRD ;-)
14:54 oleonard GRD doesn't sound as suitable to a day of everyone pitching in here and there.
14:58 kf perhaps we should have 'action days'
14:58 chris_n really
14:58 kf where we set a goal
14:58 and you can earn a badge or something :P
14:58 chris_n refactoring is a *huge* project which affects many areas of the app
14:58 kf some of the templates need refactoring... that's for sure
14:59 we can do things much nicer now with tt
14:59 chris_n magnuse: I pasted the lines from irc to the bug; does it seem enough?
14:59 * chris_n would not pass it on QA with the change to Makefile.PL if it were up to him
15:01 magnuse chris_n: great!
15:01 yeah, taking full advantage of tt sounds like a good project
15:08 kf magnuse: and a bit one, but we coudl start with memberentry perhaps...
15:08 that has some serious issues for translation too
15:09 jcamins chris_n: without the change to Makefile.PL, installation fails spectacularly.
15:09 magnuse kf: sounds like a plan (for 2012)
15:10 kf yeah
15:10 jcamins chris_n: that is, installation of Koha fails spectacularly.
15:11 chris_n jcamins: is it related to the work in the rest of the patch or a separate problem?
15:11 jcamins chris_n: related to the patch.
15:11 chris_n: Koha/Images.pm won't be installed without it.
15:12 chris_n I see, so it adds a new directory then
15:12 jcamins Right.
15:13 magnuse so this will be the first patch to actually create files in the Koha namespace/directory?
15:14 chris_n why not in C4?
15:14 jcamins magnuse: yes, everything else is held up in QA. ;)
15:14 * chris_n is concerned about getting outside of the C4 namespace
15:14 magnuse i think there is a lon term plan to migrate code from C4:: to Koha::
15:14 *long
15:14 jcamins Yep.
15:15 magnuse making sure anything that goes into Koha:: is top notch
15:15 chris_n it would probably be a good idea to discuss this on the list a bit then
15:15 jcamins The idea is that by switching to Koha::, we will gradually get rid of the memory leaks.
15:15 magnuse and in compliance with all our wishes for the future
15:15 chris_n it represents a fairly major change
15:15 jcamins chris_n: it was discussed a while ago.
15:15 chris_n or maybe I missed the discussion?
15:16 jcamins I don't remember when. Long enough ago that I knew I was breaking the rules when I used C4 for my easy cataloging interface.
15:16 chris_n at any rate, the addition of the Koha:: namespace should be done in a separate patch with appropriate comments imho
15:16 * chris_n does not recall any "rules" being made regarding the C4 namespace
15:17 jcamins chris_n: I had understood there to be rules, anyway.
15:26 magnuse chris_n: i think this is the message where sekjal proposes the Koha namespace: http://lists.koha-community.or[…]March/035302.html
15:27 gaetan_B joined #koha
15:27 * jcamins will take the easy road.
15:27 chris_n I remember that discussion now, but that by no means constitutes any rule or change
15:27 jcamins I'm moving the module to C4.
15:28 * chris_n is not opposing the change in principle, just in practice at this time :-)
15:28 jcamins Fair enough.
15:28 chris_n C4 does need to be safely detonated
15:28 kf it will not get detonated
15:28 magnuse hehe
15:28 kf oh
15:28 * kf should read all conversation
15:28 chris_n kf: C4 is a high explosive :-)
15:29 kf yeah I get it now :)
15:29 magnuse and (at least) twice as good as C2
15:29 kf meant that it will be replaced piece by piece, not all at one time
15:29 so no detonation really
15:29 magnuse yeah, more like we have to de-fuse it or something
15:29 chris_n yeah, the shrapnel from such an event would be too destructive to the rest of the code base :)
15:31 magnuse tee hee
15:36 jcamins How do I return NULL in Perl?
15:37 chris_n just "return"
15:37 jcamins chris_n: okay, cool.
15:37 hdl1 jcamins: return undef;
15:38 chris_n ^^
15:38 hdl1 TMTOWTDI
15:38 wahanui well, TMTOWTDI is there's more than one way to do it
15:38 jcamins hdl1: Thanks.
15:39 hdl1 (jcamins, in fact, it undef is translated as NULL when using DBI INSERT or UPDATE This can be useful.)
15:40 paul_p about the switch from C4 to Koha, I don't think we've decided anything "for action".
15:40 kf hmpf. Holdings Note: ; ; ; .
15:40 paul_p: perhaps something for the next meeting?
15:40 paul_p kf++
15:40 kf I think some people have started working ont his, but no decision about requirements and such were made
15:41 paul_p (well, except next meeting is 4AM for me, which is -- !)
15:41 kf oh
15:41 did we get it wrong again?
15:41 paul_p or is it me ?
15:41 kf thought 2 good in a row and I fee like we had 4am before that
15:41 * chris_n is opening a bug for it now and putting on the Jan 4 agenda
15:42 kf I think 4 am really doesn't make much sense
15:42 magnuse 4 January 2012 at 10:00 UTC+0
15:42 paul_p oops, sorry , I'm wrong
15:42 magnuse http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]g,_4_January_2012
15:42 chris_n I suspect that it will need a month or two of discussion
15:42 paul_p chris_n, I suspect that will need some POC !
15:42 kf chris_n++
15:42 POC?
15:42 paul_p (and will be for 4.0)
15:42 kf, Proof Of Concept
15:42 kf not sure we have to wait that long
15:43 if we do it step by step as was suggested
15:43 magnuse POC?
15:43 kf adding new functionality not to C4 but to Koha isntead
15:43 magnuse POC is Proof Of Concept
15:43 POC?
15:43 wahanui i heard POC was Proof Of Concept
15:43 magnuse yay
15:43 paul_p some sample code to see how it could be implemented. With something not really working, but showing how it will work
15:43 kf perhaps not rewrite existing modules now, but do new things in the new namespace
15:43 thx :) only didn't resolve the abbreviation
15:44 new features like the local images coudl serves as poc
15:44 but go in too
15:44 magnuse i think doing new things in the new namespace makes sense...
15:44 chris_n also QA rules for inclusion in the new namespace
15:45 and rules on what goes in the old one
15:45 s/goes/goes or does not go/
15:45 kf I think short loans does some new Koha namespace thigns too
15:45 not sure though
15:46 jcamins kf: looks like it won't be serving as POC.
15:46 (local covers)
15:46 magnuse i think rangi had some thoughts on what should go in Koha:: - like code there should not include/use code from C4, if memory serves me right
15:47 bug 7359
15:47 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7359 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, NEW , Begin migration to a new "Koha" namespace from the old "C4" namespace
15:48 magnuse yay!
15:48 chris_n ok, bug added and added item to the next agenda
15:48 magnuse chris_n++
15:48 chris_n feel free to comment to your heart's content
15:51 kf jcamins: why?
15:52 jcamins kf: 'cause I just removed it from the Koha namespace.
15:53 adminacct joined #koha
15:56 oleonard Sorry jcamins I stirred up a heap of trouble
15:56 jcamins oleonard: no worries.
15:56 It was just a matter of find-and-replace.
15:59 kf ol
15:59 oleonard: can you help me with some jquery perhaps?
15:59 oleonard Sure
16:00 kf I want to wrap the issn on the opac detai page in a link
16:00 there is a webservice here for libraries that will give back a picture with the online availability
16:00 but I need to construct a link with the issn and the library's identifier
16:03 oleonard: I have trouble finding the right selector to get only the issn
16:03 <span class="results_summary issn"><span class="label">ISSN: </span>0946-8463; 0044-2267.</span>
16:03 it's in a tag with another tag, nto sure how to deal with that
16:07 reiveune bye
16:07 reiveune left #koha
16:07 * oleonard is pondering
16:07 jcamins oleonard: BTW, how do you feel about fig and hazelnut?
16:07 * oleonard is all in
16:08 kf sounds yummy
16:08 oleonard jcamins: At first I thought you were asking about some new web technology I was unaware of
16:08 jcamins oleonard: nope.
16:08 Fudge.
16:08 * jcamins is shamelessly bribing oleonard to make the image viewer beautiful.
16:08 * oleonard is 99% there on the staff client patch
16:08 jcamins oleonard++
16:09 magnuse oleonard++
16:09 jcamins I revised the patches, so they're ready for sign-off again.
16:09 And hopefully incorporate the changes that chris_n suggested.
16:10 (that is, they certainly incorporate changes, but I'm not 100% sure they're what chris_n suggested)
16:11 kf jcamins: stop distracting oleonard :)
16:11 :P
16:11 huginn` New commit(s) needsignoff: [Bug 6302] Failing to send email notices - to_address not set <http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6302>
16:12 jcamins kf: I'm not, I'm bribing him.
16:12 Distracting would be saying "hey! Here's something not image veiwer-related!"
16:12 :P
16:13 kf even worse, the bribing
16:13 * kf is still trying to get her link working
16:18 oleonard kf, is the ISSN displayed the same way the ISBN is?
16:19 kf I think so
16:19 oleonard <span class="results_summary"><span class="label">ISBN: </span>0937769258</span> ?
16:19 kf yes
16:19 only there can be more than one... but that#s another problem
16:20 perhaps one solution would be to wrap them into something
16:20 oleonard Well, not sure about handling more than one...
16:20 kf one is enough for now :)
16:20 pastebot "oleonard" at 66.213.78.34 pasted "Convert ISSN to link" (3 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/152
16:20 oleonard This worked in my Firebug console
16:20 kf very cool thank you :)
16:20 there is a class now for isbn and issn
16:20 in 3.6
16:21 will make it a bit easier, no contains needed
16:21 works! thank you!
16:31 rangi wow i thought that was all decided way back there was a big long thread, clean code, no dependencies on anything in C4 except C4/Context  moving to Koha  ... guess i dreamed the whole thing
16:31 asaurat left #koha
16:32 oleonard Perhaps you're still dreaming rangi, it is awfully early isn't it?
16:32 rangi yeah i fell asleep early tho
16:33 magnuse 5.30 right?
16:33 chris_n rangi: the only thread pointed out so far is gmcharlt's suggestion
16:34 nothing pointed up to a firm decision
16:34 kf oleonard++
16:34 chris_n not to mention the change should not be hidden deep in a large feature patch
16:34 gmcharlt well, if there's no objection ...
16:34 ;)
16:34 kf oleonard: now I only have to find a way to split them into single issn. hm.
16:34 chris_n as I stated, none in principle, only in practice :-)
16:35 rangi i disagree
16:35 it is not a major change
16:35 * chris_n thinks if we made decisions always on the amount of responses to the list discussions we'd be in trouble
16:35 chris_n sorry, I disagree there
16:35 rangi thats the entire point, its a small managable way to make code cleanup
16:35 a major change is rewriting modules in place
16:36 chris_n its major because it requires a new set of rules to play by if it is to do any good
16:36 rangi no existing scripts are changed to use this module
16:36 ok whatever, i give in
16:36 talk about it for 9 more months
16:36 kf I think doing it the way rangi said sounds good
16:36 and I remembered it that way too
16:36 * rangi advised jcamins to put it there, ill stop advising people to do that now
16:37 kf that's why people have started to write patches using the new namespace...
16:44 time to leave for me
16:44 bye all
16:44 kf left #koha
16:45 gmcharlt well, it's major in the sense that it will move Koha in some excellent directions
16:45 oleonard If this change can be done incrementally what's the objection?
16:45 gmcharlt but minor in the sense that it implicitly specifies baby-steps to take us there
16:46 and I don't think it would be that hard to concisely express the rules for the Koha namespace
16:46 to take a quick stab at it
16:46 there would be some things that we've been (increasingly) doing anyway
16:46 * use strict; use warnings;
16:46 * POD
16:46 * test cases
16:46 alex_a joined #koha
16:47 jcamins Whoops. Never added the test file.
16:47 Well, that'll have to wait.
16:47 gmcharlt the main difference, as I see it, is that code in the Koha namespace needs to not retain global or package state in ways that would interfere with the likes of mod_perl
16:47 chris_n something regarding circular deps as well (a real problem in C4)
16:48 gmcharlt chris_n: yeah, that too
16:49 * jcamins supposes he has to rewrite all the tests anyway.
16:49 jcamins Just as well I never added the file.
16:50 rangi yeah the no uncleared globals is the key
16:50 chris_n minimum exports as well
16:51 rangi id lean to OO where it makes sense, minimum default exports where it doesnt
16:51 chris_n OO++
16:52 rangi 5549 and 7248
16:52 wahanui 12797

17:25 paul_p well, i'd like to have QA team (me excluded) dedicated to QAing large patches, so I could concentrate on other things, like perf improvement & sandboxes & other things.
17:26 rhcl I should be able to pull a shelf list out of the opac, put it into a stack, start scanning books, and just pop them off the stack as they are scanned, right?
17:26 jcamins rhcl: I'd use a report or the inventory tool.
17:26 rangi paul_p: yep
17:29 jcamins oleonard: unfortunately, I think the problem was that the link resolver code wasn't so good.
17:30 I have a vague recollection of it being Serial Solutions-only.
17:30 oleonard That wouldn't surprise me of course
17:30 * jcamins preferred to just use jQuery.
17:31 jcamins Incidentally, wouldn't it be a nifty feature to optionally include the MARCXML namespaced into the opac-detail XHTML?
17:32 Or am I just weird?
17:32 Actually, don't answer that second question.
17:33 * oleonard is wondering if we'll now need an "Images" tab in the left-hand sidebar menu in the staff client
17:34 Oak joined #koha
17:34 jcamins oleonard: isn't that what the tab is for?
17:35 oleonard Yes, but once you've clicked away from the detail page you're on a standalone images page. It feels like it needs to have its own tab on the left so that that tab can be highlighted and the user is properly oriented
17:35 jcamins Ah, I see.
17:36 That might make sense.

17:48 jcamins oleonard: that would be very cool, and I look forward to seeing that feature.

18:48 selva_55 Is Koha 3.6.1 helpful for a library just starting to use Koha?
18:48 jcamins selva_55: it's the latest version, so I'd encourage you to use it, yes.
18:49 chris_n 3.6.1 is the current stable release, so I'd say yes

18:50 * rangi hides
18:51 * libsysguy also hides
18:51 jcamins selva_55: no, Koha runs on Linux servers.
18:51 selva_55: unfortunately, setting up a Linux server isn't really something we can help you with here.
18:52 libsysguy selva_55: if you decide to set up a linux server you should persue debain

18:52 selva_55 Owen says: Koha cannot be installed directly on Windows, but you can use software like VirtualBox to run Linux in a virtual machine on Windows.
18:53 jcamins selva_55: that's correct.
18:53 So you would need to set up a Linux installation.
18:53 selva_55 Is VirtualBox expensive?
18:53 libsysguy selva_55: http://koha-community.org/support/paid-support/
18:53 jcamins You can do that under VirtualBox, if you'd like.
18:53 libsysguy virtual box is free
18:53 jcamins selva_55: VirtualBox is free.
18:54 selva_55 Thanks indeed for that info!
18:54 jcamins Oooooh. VKhUTEMAS published its own books. I didn't know that.
18:54 rhcl https://www.virtualbox.org/
18:54 libsysguy selva_55: if you are going to run koha in production I would strongly recommend a dedicated machine instead of virtualbox
18:54 rangi vmware in production has been done before
18:54 jcamins libsysguy: oh, yes, good job pointing that out.
18:54 We tried VirtualBox in production once.
18:55 maximep the stage import page had a choice of marc21/unimarc but now in 3.6 it seems to let you choose the character encodinginstead (utf8, marc8, etc). Does it guess the format ?
18:55 jcamins It was an unqualified disaster.
18:55 maximep: you don't get a choice.
18:55 You never did.
18:55 If you're using UNIMARC, it will only handle UNIMARC records.
18:55 If MARC21, only MARC21.
18:55 It ignored what you set in the past.
18:55 maximep ok, good
18:55 libsysguy selva_55: http://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst
18:55 jcamins Now it allows you to import records with accented characters.
18:55 selva_55 We are a small university college library.
18:55 maximep what's the encoding when you use the default ?
18:56 jcamins selva_55: then you *definitely* can't use VirtualBox.
18:56 maximep: UTF-8.
18:56 rangi vmware tho
18:56 libsysguy selva_55: it doesn't take anything special to run debian...just run it instead of windows
18:56 jcamins rangi: yeah, VMWare would work. Probably Xen, too.
18:57 selva_55 Debian?
18:57 wahanui hmmm... Debian is what most people use and there are good manuals and even packages for that
18:57 maximep so why not just select utf-8 in the choices ? :S
18:57 rangi we have a 6 branch public running on vmware
18:57 jcamins rangi: but under no circumstances should VirtualBox be considered for production in a college library.
18:57 rangi nope
18:57 jcamins maximep: well, I over-simplified.
18:57 * libsysguy uses hyper-v
18:57 rhcl we're running a koha test server in a VBox on debian on debian
18:57 rangi that council virtualises all its servers tho
18:57 jcamins Default isn't actually UTF-8. It's like UTF-8, but a bit difference.
18:57 * jcamins never uses default.
18:57 rhcl correction: VBox on debian on ubuntu
18:57 cait jcamins: that's not right
18:58 selva_55 It's very interesting to join you knowledgeable guys & gals
18:58 rangi so it was the same as a dedicated linux both really
18:58 jcamins rhcl: would you use that in production, though?
18:58 cait the default encoding is not utf-8
18:58 maximep we use KVM here hehe
18:58 cait I am not sure what it does, but it only works for my records when I select utf-8 - everything else breaks the diacricits
18:58 rhcl If I had too, I would, but thankfully I have enough metal to go around
18:58 jcamins cait: hm, yes, "like UTF-8."
18:58 libsysguy ahh diacritics
18:58 rhcl to
18:58 * libsysguy thinks about poor margo having to recatalog our entire collection
18:58 cait jcamins: ?
18:58 sorry, wa sreading back
18:59 rangi maximep: yep kvm at catalyst too, used to be vservers, then xen now kvm
18:59 jcamins cait: I don't know what it does, exactly. I was maintaining the old behavior.
18:59 maximep why switch from xen to kvm ?
18:59 jcamins cait: and according to the instructions, it defaults to UTF-8.
19:00 I thought it was just me who had problems with that.
19:00 cait yeah, but it doesn't work
19:00 not sure what it does
19:00 jcamins maximep: don't use Default.
19:00 Ever.
19:00 cait maximep: listen to jcamins :)
19:00 rangi maximep: I dont know, sysadmins like it better
19:00 they have to look after it, so im happy to just go with it :)
19:00 maximep so youre telling me what Default is always the worst choice ? haha
19:01 jcamins selva_55: so, anyway, to sum up, you could use VirtualBox for testing, but you'll need an alternative for production.
19:01 maximep: yes.
19:01 cait maximep: yep - but bonus points of you make it work :)
19:01 rhcl VirtualBox isn in every disto's repo, so it's a snap to install. Basic features, but it does all the simple stuff reliably and it's just easy to setup and run
19:01 rangi isn't there a patch for that?
19:01 jcamins maximep: well, KOI8-R would be worse if you had UTF-8 records.
19:01 selva_55 Thanks for clarifying about VBox
19:01 libsysguy np selva_55
19:02 rhcl I've also used VMware Server, which is fine, but it's a separate download and some extra clicky clicky
19:02 libsysguy what university do you want to implement this for?
19:02 * libsysguy is just curious
19:03 selva_55 We are affiliated to a univ in Italy
19:03 libsysguy ahh ok cool
19:03 jcamins Zeno Tajoli is based in Italy, isn't he?
19:03 rhcl If I needed really fancy stuff, like drag-n-drop moving of virtualmachines all over geo-separated hardware, then VMware has the best tools, but at a price
19:03 rangi have u heard of cilea?
19:04 jcamins: yes works for cilea
19:05 jcamins rangi: just because Zeno works there.
19:05 rangi yeah selva_55 should maybe get in touch
19:06 jcamins rangi: oh, that question wasn't for me.
19:06 Never mind.

19:06 cait I only fixed the command line script
19:06 and there default is utf-8
19:06 rangi ah ha
19:07 cait the gui does it differently
19:07 rangi is there a bug?
19:07 selva_55 Many thanks to the Koha people!!
19:07 rangi I could ask duncan to look
19:07 jcamins rangi: no, because I always thought that it was a feature.
19:07 Just one I didn't get.
19:07 rangi :)
19:08 jcamins It's a one-line fix.
19:08 Eliminate "Default" and make "UTF-8" selected by default.
19:08 Okay, two lines.
19:08 rangi perfect for the newb
19:08 jcamins Ah.
19:08 Then, yes.
19:08 Good plan. :)
19:08 cait I tihnk it tries to guess
19:08 but it guesses wrong
19:08 jcamins Bonus points if he can figure out what Default is supposed to do.
19:08 cait yep
19:08 rangi :)
19:08 jcamins And make it work like that.
19:08 maximep the cli script is so different from the interface :S
19:09 cait I tried it
19:09 followed the trace through various files and gave up in the end
19:09 rangi ok if someone wants to file a bug ill get him on to it
19:09 jcamins maximep: that's because the CLI script didn't have to match pre-existing behavior.
19:09 rangi he has been writing tests
19:09 will be a nice change
19:09 ok my stop bbiab
19:10 maximep oh, I might as well ask a question about the script
19:10 I had data in the .mrc with a branch that didn't exist
19:10 cait ah
19:10 it will give you no errror
19:10 but still not import them
19:11 I reported a bug for that
19:11 maximep i think it did
19:11 give me an error
19:11 cait oh?
19:11 was not aware it got fixed
19:11 I had a case where it said "all imported!" and nothing was there
19:11 maximep but i wonder what the interface does
19:12 jcamins maximep: if I had to guess, I'd say it probably sticks the 952s into biblioitems, leaving you with seriously screwed up bib records.
19:12 maximep anyway, not long to just search and replace in the mrc file
19:12 * jcamins doesn't know where that guess came from, but he's pretty good about it being right.

20:11 caser Does anyone know of a chart/key/map that connects the names of fields in the staff client with the corresponding database table or cell?
20:11 oleonard I don't think such a thing exists caser. What are you trying to do?
20:11 cait oleonard++ for asking the right question
20:13 caser oleonard, I often run into problems when I'm trying to create or edit a report, and I know what field I want to include by the name in the staff client, but I don't know what it's called in the database
20:15 oleonard schema?
20:15 wahanui schema is tracked in git. or found at http://schema.koha-community.org
20:15 caser I can usually find it after a good bit of searching, guessing, trial and error, but it'd be nice if that information was all in one place.
20:15 oleonard caser: That link is something to try
20:16 It describes each of the Koha database tables and the contents of each column
20:16 selva_55 Do you do business with LibLime Koha
20:16 or is it taboo?
20:16 oleonard caser: For instance, http://schema.koha-community.o[…]es/borrowers.html
20:16 jcamins selva_55: no one here uses it, so you'll be basically on your own.
20:16 Well, occasionally jwagner from LibLime is online.
20:17 Maybe she would help you with problems you encountered.
20:17 selva_55 So Koha-community is diferent from LibLime
20:17 oleonard selva_55: One of the advantages to using Koha over "Liblime Koha" is that you can get help here
20:17 jcamins However, I don't think there is anyone who would recommend using the LibLime fork.
20:17 Koha continues to be actively developed.
20:17 selva_55 And is Koha free still?
20:17 jcamins Koha is free, yes.
20:18 And open source.
20:18 wahanui open source is strong and solid partly because different people are working through the system
20:18 jcamins wahanui++ # a truer word was never spoke
20:18 selva_55: LibLime's fork is somewhat less free and open source.
20:18 selva_55 So glad for open source!

20:20 rhcl restraint noted
20:21 caser oleonard, I don't think that's what I need, but I could be wrong.  What I mean is, if I'm using the staff client and I know I want to include the field that's called "Home Library" in the staff client, how can I find out that in the tables it's called "branchcode"
20:23 oleonard caser: I'm not saying it's easy, but you could read through the descriptions of the borrowers table until you found the column which had the right description
20:26 rangi stupid fire alarm
20:26 caser Ok.  Yeah, not easy, but definitely better than nothing.  Thanks
20:26 * rangi tries to start his day again
20:27 jcamins Bother. The lights won't turn on, and everyone is out.
20:31 caser oleonard, If I wanted to create a slightly more simplified version and share it with other users, what do you think is the best way to do that?  I mean, if it were added to the wiki, what would it be called so people could find it?
20:32 I don't have the terminology for what I'm looking for and/or trying to do.
20:32 jcamins caser: "a gentle introduction to the Koha database structure"?
20:33 * chris_n hands rangi a fire extinguisher and a second cup of coffee

20:57 oleonard: how do I select the Holdings tab on the OPAC?
20:57 I thought it was li[contains:Holdings] but that didn't work at all.
20:57 sekjal joined #koha
20:57 oleonard In order to do what jcamins ?
20:57 jcamins :contains('Holdings')
20:57 Hide it.
20:58 oleonard $("li:contains('Holdings')").hide(); works for me
20:58 jcamins oleonard: yeah, I was using square brackets.
20:58 One shouldn't use square brackets.
20:59 Hm, but that doesn't make it select the Title Notes box automatically.
20:59 Any idea how to make that be the one that's selected automatically?
21:00 * oleonard has to look that one up every time
21:01 jcamins Is it on the wiki and I'm missing it?
21:02 oleonard $('#bibliodescriptions > ul').tabs('select', 1);
21:02 jcamins Thanks.
21:02 oleonard when we update to jqueryUI the syntax will change (and it will be easier to find documentation on how to do that)
21:04 cait :)
21:04 jcamins Well, darn
21:04 Putting that in document.ready does not work.
21:05 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'select' of undefined
21:05 Running it from the console works fine.
21:11 oleonard jcamins: Probably has to do with when it's getting called in relation to the main call to the tabs() function
21:11 Not sure what to suggest, though, and I've got to run.
