08:26 mtj kia ora magnuse , hi all
08:28 magnuse ff 10, eh? moving fast!
08:29 Amit_Gupta heya magnuse
08:29 mtj around?
08:29 magnuse hi Amit_Gupta
08:30 mtj i think i have discovered an interesting bug with a Koha.2.2 upgrade , to a Koha-3.4
08:31 .... the bug happens when running the post-upgrade  '/remove_items_from_biblioitems.pl' script
08:31 heya amit
08:33 for some Koha bibs with mismatching bib and bib-item numbers, the script does some bib corruption ?!? :/
08:34 hmm, i do need to re-confirm this.... and make sure its not some glitchy bib data - thats the problem
08:36 i wonder if there might be a s/bib/bibitem/ typo, in the C4::Biblio.pm file, thats causing this even?
08:38 ....i'll keep poking till i get to the bottom of it :)
08:39 magnuse happy hunting mtj!
08:41 mtj thanks magnuse, ill report my findings - when finished
08:41 magnuse yay

11:10 kf eew
11:10 drojf1 yup
11:11 asaurat so now you're warm for 25 more years
11:11 drojf1 heh
11:13 they say i's going to stay that cold for a while
11:13 not sure how much i like that
11:15 @marc 942
11:15 huginn` drojf1: unknown tag 942
11:15 drojf1 hm
11:15 is there a wikip gae for 942 like this one for 952 http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]C21_Holding_field.2C_3.0.x.2C_3.2.x_and_3.4.x_default_-_field_952?
11:15 *wiki page
11:15 i can only fint it in the indexing part of the deocumentation

11:16 drojf1 omg
11:17 magnuse they had -37 or something last night
11:17 kf drojf1: only 3 fields I think that are important there
11:17 or one
11:18 942$c itemtype
11:18 is used when you work with recod level itemtypes and as a default for adding new items
11:18 drojf1 yeah that is the ine i am wondering about especially. is it the same as 952y?
11:18 kf item-level_itypes is the pref I think
11:18 it's similar
11:19 drojf1 i'm not sure if i understand what that means. what is the difference?
11:19 kf record level itemtypes mean you don't have an itemtype on item level
11:19 so all items of the record, have the itemtype of 942$c
11:20 drojf1 ah!
11:20 kf if you use title level itemtypes you can have 1 item for referecne, others avaulable for loan
11:20 drojf1 tool a while
11:20 :)
11:20 wook. damn keyboard
11:20 narf
11:20 took
11:20 kf heh
11:20 I blame all typos today on my missing glasses
11:20 drojf1 thanks. i understand it now
11:20 kf + my grumpiness
11:20 drojf1 what happened to your glasses?
11:21 kf they broke into 2 pieces
11:21 drojf1 ouch
11:21 kf yeah
11:21 drojf1 tape them together ;)
11:21 kf they are trying to build a replacement using a reamless frame... hopefully it works
11:22 I tried taping, but didn't work
11:22 drojf1 i had a crazy flatmate once that taped his glasses. for a few days until he has a new pair people thought. but he kept wearing them for weeks or months, fixed with blue tape. looked crazy :)
11:22 kf heh
11:22 drojf1 but he could see ;)

13:25 clrh hello
13:25 wahanui que tal, clrh
13:25 clrh I have a vocabulary question
13:27 in frensh it is called "communication sur place" or "demande en magasin"
13:28 bookstack
13:29 collum joined #koha
13:32 cait clrh: perhaps closed stacks?
13:32 not sure, I don't know french :)
13:33 JesseM joined #koha
13:34 cait clrh: perhaps when you describe people will have an idea?
13:34 francharb cait, is "book stack" the word commonly used for the room closed to public where a library keep books
13:35 because they can't be issues like "normal" bool
13:35 book
13:35 oleonard "closed stacks" sounds like a good phrase for that
13:35 francharb oleonard, is it the word you used in your library?
13:35 it could be just to store books
13:36 because the library doesnt have enought room to display them
13:36 oleonard If I recall correctly it's the term we used when I worked in a library with that kind of setup
13:36 francharb oki
13:36 thanks!
13:40 druthb joined #koha
13:42 cait francharb: closed stacks is what we were told to call it
13:42 german libraries do that too - and you have to order available books :)
13:42 francharb thanks cait !
13:42 cait so someone can go and get them for you, in difference to a holds - which here will only be allowed on checked out books
13:42 to a hold
13:44 francharb that's exactly what we are taking about
13:44 talking
13:45 cait francharb: I think french and german libraries are similar - well except for the fine in days thing perhps :)
13:45 ok, have to go, bbl
13:46 francharb see ya
13:46 ;)

13:59 oleonard So, to recap: Fix for Bug 7493 would be to add foreign key constraints on biblio and borrowers, but trying to do so when deleted biblios or borrowers are referenced in reviews table causes error
13:59 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7493 normal, P5 - low, ---, oleonard, ASSIGNED , Deleting a record with comments breaks "Recent Comments"
14:00 oleonard I'm thinking running an update on reviews before doing the update is in order
14:00 DELETE FROM reviews WHERE biblionumber IN (SELECT biblionumber from deletedbiblio);
14:00 UPDATE reviews SET borrowernumber = NULL WHERE borrowernumber IN (SELECT borrowernumber FROM deletedborrowers);
14:00 I am seeking opinions.

14:07 tcohen joined #koha
14:16 hdl oleonard: how do you call the place where you stock documents in a library ?
14:16 in libraries in france it is called "magasin"
14:17 oleonard Stock documents? I don't understand.
14:17 collum Vertical file?
14:17 hdl you know a room where only librarians can access and bring documents to users ?
14:18 lculber joined #koha
14:18 Soupermanito joined #koha
14:18 oleonard Is this the same question francharb just asked? I think "closed stacks" is correct
14:18 lculber hello koha.  francharb still around?
14:18 hdl oh yeas.
14:18 francharb: beat me.
14:18 francharb ?
14:19 oleonard "documents" made me think you meant something other than books.
14:19 hdl francharb: thanks.
14:19 oleonard: could be.
14:19 francharb oleonard, i think that the same question
14:19 oleonard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L[…]d_stack_libraries
14:19 lculber francharb:  we use closed stacks in archives. Could we help maybe?
14:19 oleonard "A closed stack library contains books and other items that are not available for viewing or browsing by the general public"
14:20 francharb oleonard, that's funny, i checked on wikipedia and found the same page
14:20 hdl k tahnks.
14:21 lculber Most of our collections are circulated through closed stacks.
14:21 collum We store our old newspapers and magazines in closed stacks.  Mainly because of space limitations.
14:22 lculber Ours are one of a kind and rare.
14:23 hdl collum:  lculber and oleonard thanks
14:23 francharb lculber, collum, one of the libraries we are working with ask us to develop a something to manage the access to the closed stacks
14:24 lculber, collum, but i'm not in charge of this development
14:24 lculber francharb:  We allow items to be checked out only for a day and only in a certain room (with a guard)
14:24 francharb so i won't know how it will work
14:25 hdl lculber: hourly loans... is the stuff we are to look and work on
14:25 francharb lculber, and before that? the patron ask for the access?
14:26 lculber francharb: Yes,  They do a hold request.
14:26 francharb so you allow hold on available items, tight?
14:26 right?
14:26 lculber francharb: right
14:27 collum If the item we retrieve cannot be checked-out, we just ask the patron to bring it back to the reference desk.  Otherwise, our closed stacks have normal circulation periods.
14:27 francharb ok
14:28 lculber francharb:  we have some items that are so rare they have to ask for special permission and sign papers, but those are few.
14:29 They still have to do hold request though. Just jump through more hoops.
14:29 francharb lculber, do you only have "special access" books in you library?
14:29 is the archive part of the library?
14:29 lculber francharb: yes.  There are books, manuscripts, maps, photos, and audio-visuals
14:30 francharb:  if they are rare or fragile or "special"
14:31 francharb: or if the law says they are restricted for some reason there are more hoops to go through
14:31 trea joined #koha
14:32 francharb for the library we are working with, it looks like a little bit more complex since they dont want the patron to be able to place hold on the available books + they have "regular" stacks and 1 day loan is not enought for their needs
14:33 talljoy joined #koha
14:33 lculber francharb:  we have regular books too and files.  Those have holds too.  But we only allow one day on everything except for staff.

15:38 oleonard Nice work jcamins, that's really snazzy
15:39 jcamins oleonard: thanks.
15:39 Any further suggestions are welcome!
15:39 * jcamins is particularly proud of the various "Actions" menus. :)
15:41 tcohen is there anyone here that wants to talk about a proposal I have around memoization?
15:41 jcamins tcohen: I'd like to hear about the proposal. :)
15:41 I probably don't know enough to respond. :(
15:41 tcohen I'd like to propose a modification of memoize::memcached so
15:42 we add a list of references to funcionts that invalidate cache for a specific memoized function
15:42 and create wrapper functions for those 'writers that invalidate cache'
15:42 the same way it is done for memoizing functions
15:43 jcamins That sounds very logical to me.
15:43 tcohen we now have memoize_memcached(func_name,...)
15:43 i propose memoize_memcached(func_name,...,%​functions_that_invalidate_cache)
15:43 jcamins This makes sense to me.
15:44 tcohen the memoize::memcached dev told me to take over the lib
15:45 i'll do some tests and come back
15:45 just needed a confirmation of anyone that it was worth giving it a try
15:47 jcamins It sounds like a good idea to *me*.
15:50 But I'm very big on caching.
15:51 * jcamins would cache the results of the XSLT processing if he could.
15:53 has been calling for an option for an out-of-band rendering daemon so that he could cache more aggressively without causing any problems for other Koha-ians.
15:53 jcamins Since I'm not writing such an interface yet, I'm not particularly vigorous in my calls.
15:54 :)
15:55 hdl tcohen: it would be something to consider.
15:55 Consider also caching the results for pages.
15:56 tcohen hdl: I think once we have a proper method for invalidating cached data
15:56 that would be as easy as memoizing everything we consider can be cached
15:58 jcamins Ooh, this I like.
16:00 wizzyrea so far so good on 5166 :D
16:01 sub-minute zebraqueue processing is pretty great.
16:01 tcohen That's what my librarians think :-D
16:01 wizzyrea would need to put it under load, though.
16:01 you run it in production?
16:02 tcohen it's been year and a half in production here
16:02 wizzyrea holy cannoli.
16:03 I'd love to try it out on NExpress, but I can certainly confirm that it works as described
16:03 tcohen well, it was fixed for master and such....
16:03 wizzyrea sure sure.
16:05 reiveune bye
16:05 reiveune left #koha
16:05 sekjal wizzyrea:  do a batch item edit on 10,000 materials... that should load it up pretty good

16:06 i understand :p is phrase, :w is word and :s is sort index. i guess :n (not in this example) is number. i can guess the difference between word and phrase indexing.
16:06 1. i suppose sort index is for all fields that i would like to sort my results by. is that correct?
16:06 2. what is the difference between :w and no : at all? for example
16:06 melm 730        Title,Title:p,Title-uniform
16:06 what is the difference between "Title" here and "Title:w" for melm 245$a?
16:06 would be glad if someone could enlighten me. the indexdata doc did not really help or i'm too blind to find much on that matter there.

16:06 drojf sorry for the flood  :)
16:06 wizzyrea tcohen: do you have any experience with batch-mod + the daemon? How does it work?
16:07 tcohen wizzyrea: as it works sequentialy, it wont start a new run until it wont finish the 10000 items edit queue
16:07 i've never used batch-mod
16:07 wizzyrea cool, that's what I was wondering
16:07 * wizzyrea goes to verify that claim :)
16:07 tcohen ooops
16:07 i hope I was right :$
16:09 kyle joined #koha
16:10 jcamins drojf: in principle without a type is the same as :w.
16:10 In practice, it goes somewhere else.
16:10 hdl jcamins: and with abs2dom, it is even worse.
16:12 drojf jcamins: what do you mean by "it goes somewhere else"?
16:13 wizzyrea tcohen: so far so good :)
16:14 * wizzyrea needs MOAR RECORDS
16:14 tcohen wizzyrea++ :-D :-D
16:14 jcamins drojf: exactly what it sounds like. The data ends up in an index, but it doesn't appear to be commingle with the :w-indexed data, and therefore doesn't work with CCL.
16:17 drojf ah, i see. thanks for clarifying!
16:17 slef does anyone else get confused between rel_3_6 and 3.6.x or is it just me?
16:17 jcamins slef: huh? What's the difference?
16:18 slef jcamins: rel_3_6 in bugzilla, 3.6.x in git IIRC
16:18 drojf jcamins++ # just learned that you actually count here :)
16:18 jcamins slef: that's confusing.
16:18 slef jcamins: ask git for rel_3_6 and it checks out master instead, which is a pig to fix
16:19 maybe another bugzilla change to suggest on list

16:24 jcamins cait: yay!
16:24 * slef has old eyes
16:24 cait slef: um - where are those? bugzilla?
16:24 slef rel_3_6 is bugzilla, 3.6.x is git
16:24 cait hm no
16:24 slef the difference gets me sometimes
16:24 cait not getting confused
16:25 but the tags are not consistent on git anyway
16:25 * tcohen never thought I would find a 'goto' on a modern library
16:26 jcamins tcohen: really?
16:27 * oleonard remembers the kerfuffle when they added it to PHP not too long ago
16:27 tcohen yeap, its a wrapper library
16:27 and it has stuff like
16:27 goto &lib::function if condition_not_valid
16:28 jcamins tcohen: I meant "you're surprised?"
16:28 tcohen jcamins: hahaha
16:28 yes, I confess i was suprised
16:32 * jcamins isn't.

17:48 jcamins Nifty!
17:49 wizzyrea it did somewhere between 80-200 a go

18:01 jcamins Guillaume: is "BDIC" the correct abbreviation for the Bibliotheque de documentation internationale contemporaine?
18:01 Guillaume yes, I think

18:24 melm 653$aln-class:w,ln-class:s,Subject,Subject:p
18:24 so i don't screw up the following 653 "Subject" indexing, is that correct?
18:24 jcamins Right.
18:24 drojf woohoo
18:24 thanks
18:25 jcamins But that addition has to go before the melm 653.

18:43 does lex:n strictly mean "numeric value" in the sense of "digits"?
18:48 jcamins drojf: in principle.
18:51 libsysguy joined #koha
18:53 cait @
18:53 drojf i was wondering because i thought that it worked for me when i tried it some time ago. our lexile numbers are something like "A1", "A2" etc. and not strictly numeric. but it turns out that in my older file it is "melm 521$a      lex,lex:n" and in master "lex" is missing and only "melm 521$a      lex:n" is left so either i added that here when i was fiddling around with it (i doubt that) or somebody else deleted it.

19:07 drojf heh
19:30 jcamins sekjal: if you ever get a hankering to hunt down memory leaks in the core of C4, you could write a script to slurp an entire database using opac-export.pl under mod_perl+NYTProf.
19:30 :D
19:31 sekjal jcamins:  sounds like fu
19:31 ~fun
19:31 though there might be a bit of fu involved
19:31 * jcamins hasn't tried it, but it seems like a better initial test than opac-detail.
19:32 sekjal I'm pretty sure I could set up NYT::Prof in the Apache conf
19:32 so EVERYTHING runs under it, and reports are generated as appropriate
19:32 jcamins Makes sense to me.
19:32 Just make sure you have a lot of disk space on /var
19:33 You should put the instructions for doing that on the wiki.
19:33 sekjal though getting the output converted to HTML reports with unique names would be mildly tricky
19:33 I was actually just thinking of writing up a guide on how to do NYT::Prof profiling, and have the reports appear on a web-accessible directory automatically
19:33 jcamins I'd leave that running on my VM all the time.
19:34 Whenever I'm bored take a look at the cumulative report.
19:34 sekjal I just ran Koha's OPAC main page through a WCAG accessibility validator (since I just installed one locally)
19:34 did VERY well
19:34 * jcamins doesn't know what that means, but it sounds cool.
19:34 sekjal only one small change to make
19:34 jcamins Ah.
19:35 accessibility++
19:35 sekjal jcamins:  HTML coding for the blind/visually impaired
19:35 WCAG 2.0 AA is an international standard (one of several)
19:35 an out-of-the-box Koha OPAC main page only has one failure on that test, and it's very easy to fix
19:36 of course, if you use the opacheader, OpacNav, opaccredits, etc, you can quickly lose validity
19:36 but that's not Koha's problem :)
19:36 * jcamins wonders how badly he destroyed accessibility with his new layout.
19:36 cait pretty much i think :P
19:37 sekjal run it through this: http://achecker.ca/checker/index.php
19:37 oleonard Next we'll build in a validator so that you can't make invalid or inaccessible customizations
19:37 * jcamins is doing so.
19:37 jcamins Yeah, pretty much ruined.
19:38 Wait, no. Good news! The problem is the a:hover color.
19:38 I can change that. :D
19:39 sekjal jcamins:  yeah, all the reported issues look very fixable
19:41 jcamins sekjal: I am totally blaming you when Shari asks why I'm restyling my OPAC.
19:41 sekjal oleonard:  if we wrapped the user-editable HTML parts in TinyMCE, there is a validator plugin for it
19:41 jcamins: :)
19:52 jcamins We should get rid of the extra <i>s in the cart icon.
19:52 cait brb
19:55 drojf jcamins: i was just wondering what reason there would be to have <i></i><span><i></i><span></span>Lists </span> after i checked our test install ;)
19:55 jcamins drojf: I have no idea.
19:56 It seems wasteful, though, doesn't it?
19:56 drojf kind of, yes
19:56 oleonard The extra markup is necessary to style the buttons the way they are
19:57 Now that CSS3 is better supported we can probably get rid of it.
19:57 jcamins oleonard: oh, in that case, never mind.
19:57 drojf ah ok
19:57 * jcamins didn't realize they served any purpose.
19:57 oleonard http://www.myacpl.org/koha/?p=217
19:57 * drojf neither
19:59 * oleonard realizes the link to the original technique quoted in that post is redirected now
20:00 * jcamins decided he didn't care about older browsers and is just using border-radius.
20:01 * drojf thinks that's a good idea
20:02 drojf people using ie6 should not see anything on the internet but a warning that they won't be able to see anything on the internet
20:02 oleonard And don't forget background-gradient. That's required too if you want the same effect.
20:03 ...which we've now switched to.
20:03 ...anyway.
20:03 jcamins oleonard: I don't like gradients, apparently.
20:04 I think I successfully removed every single gradient from my OPAC.
20:05 oleonard :P
20:05 drojf lol
20:05 cait back
20:05 jcamins A much harder task than you would expect.
20:05 Especially for IE and Firefox.
20:05 oleonard Because of default browser styles?
20:06 sekjal thanks to a years worth of Google Analytics data, I can justify to my library dropping support for IE6 on our website
20:06 jcamins (where -whatever-: something seemingly *always* overrides -whatever-: 0)
20:06 sekjal less than .2% of traffic
20:06 jcamins Woohoo!
20:07 drojf still frightening though
20:08 * jcamins was thinking of testing his website in Netscape Navigator.
20:08 * drojf goes out for a walk. 9pm, -12°, yeah
20:10 oleonard Careful jcamins, Netscape hijacks every kind of file type it can find related to browsing.
20:11 sekjal what would be really fun is to write a mobile staff client webapp for Koha in HTML5/CSS3/JQuery
20:11 jcamins oleonard: what do you mean?
20:11 sekjal something that ties into the phone's camera for barcode scanning
20:11 oleonard jcamins: I mean assigning HTML file types to itself, etc.
20:11 jcamins oleonard: ah.
20:11 Yikes.
20:11 I will use a separate VM.
20:12 Well, I guess I'd have to, anyway... it probably won't run on a modern OS.
20:12 There's a Netscape *9*?
20:12 The last version I used was 4.something.
20:13 sekjal: doesn't Catalyst have a start on that?
20:13 sekjal jcamins:  they have produced an Android client for Koha
20:13 jcamins Oh, that isn't a webapp?
20:13 I didn't realize that.

21:19 Space_Librarian Just throwing a quick question out there - was the 3.6 manual ever pdf'ed? Am I going crazy thinking it was?
21:19 schuster ok so I did a stupid thing in my git and am not sure how to fix it!  I copied a file over an existing Koha file by accident.  What is the best way to get the  file from the git repo again to add the changes I was "fixing"?
21:20 wizzyrea git checkout file
21:20 more specifically,
21:20 git checkout path/to/your/file
21:21 schuster That will then get a copy from the repo? and replace the one I botched?
21:21 I'm in a branch called test...
21:21 wizzyrea that will reset your changes
21:21 drojf Space_Librarian: haven't seen it as a PDF
21:21 wizzyrea on that one file
21:22 schuster Ah whew...
21:22 wizzyrea Space_Librarian: it probably is
21:22 Space_Librarian drojf maybe it was talk a wee while ago. I can't find it as a PDF... Will have to pull one together myself, methinks.
21:23 wizzyrea they were being generated automatically, last I heard
21:23 but I can't find them.
21:23 Space_Librarian so not just me then?
21:23 wizzyrea nope, not just you
21:23 re: the pdf
21:23 it should not be too difficult
21:24 Space_Librarian shouldn't be, I just have to try get it all in one go.
21:24 wizzyrea what you might do
21:24 would be to clone the documentation repo
21:24 and then... one min.
