10:53 sheikh303 hi there,need help about koha OPAC view!
10:54 magnuse ask away sheikh303, someone might be able to help you
10:55 sheikh303 i just installed koha.. on my localhost. i want redirect the default login landing page to catalog page/opac view
10:57 magnuse so that when a user logs in he lands on the front page, not on "my summary"?
10:59 sheikh303 no its not the case.. actually when i hit 127.0.1.1:8080 this returns only a login page
11:00 magnuse :8080 is usually the internal part of koha
11:00 sheikh303 i want to show the catalog page which is 127.0.0.1:8080/catalog by default.
11:00 yes
11:01 gaetan_B hello again
11:01 has anyone ever installed koha on a centos machine ?
11:02 is it feasible and if yes is it worth the trouble ?
11:02 sheikh303 @gaetan_B: i just tried few days ago and spent 2 days with several resources. but no luck :(
11:02 huginn` sheikh303: I'll give you the answer just as soon as RDA is ready
11:02 paul_p_mtg gaetan_B someone started a wiki page, but it's not finished I think : http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]n_Centos_6.2_i386

13:24 oleonard Hi bug-squashers
13:25 jcamins_away Hm, maybe I'll sign off on some bugs this morning.
13:25 magnus_afk hiya oleonard
13:25 jcamins_away: that would be awesome!
13:25 kf hi jcamins_away and oleonard :)
13:25 jcamins_away Not bug 7339, though.
13:25 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7339 critical, PATCH-Sent (DO NOT USE), ---, paul.poulain, Needs Signoff , Help System in IE8-9 Does Not Load With 500 Error
13:26 jcamins_away I don't have IE9.
13:26 Just IE8.
13:26 * oleonard neither
13:26 jcamins_away Heh.
13:26 * magnuse neither
13:26 jcamins I just spotted Bug 7501 and was very excited about it.
13:26 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7501 normal, P5 - low, ---, jcamins, Needs Signoff , OPAC authority browser should mark alternate rows as highlighted
13:26 jcamins It's something that I definitely want.
13:27 I wrote it.
13:27 Oops.
13:27 oleonard People plugging their pet patch for potential peer perusal?
13:27 kf heh
13:27 I will try to do some things tonight
13:27 in spirit of gbsd in kiribati :)
13:28 jcamins oleonard: if we're doing that, don't forget about bug 7284!
13:28 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7284 major, P3, ---, jcamins, Needs Signoff , Authority matching algorithm improvements
13:29 kf ooh
13:29 * magnuse turns on the twitter feeds for gbsd
13:29 * oleonard isn't even smart enough to read the bug report for that
13:29 kf jcamins: remind me to pack some data
13:29 later today
13:29 oleonard: I am sure that's not true :)
13:32 * jcamins remembers why he hasn't been signing off on things.
13:33 jcamins Almost everything is about circ or acquisitions.
13:33 Or things that I generally don't understand.
13:36 JesseM joined #koha
13:38 jcamins There's one.
13:39 oleonard That's the way I feel about the authorities bugs jcamins
13:39 jcamins oleonard: but there's just one!
13:39 (that needs sign off)
13:40 oleonard don't confuse me with your big numbers
13:42 kf jcamins: I think some are about cataloging
13:42 bug 6496
13:42 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6496 major, PATCH-Sent (DO NOT USE), ---, robin, Needs Signoff , authors appearing incorrectly in OPAC and Staff Client

13:44 kf jcamins: I can those bugs are smiling at you ;)
13:44 I can see...
13:47 now... I scared you all away?
13:48 jcamins kf: no, I'm testing bug 7241.
13:48 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7241 minor, PATCH-Sent (DO NOT USE), ---, adrien.saurat, Needs Signoff , circulation action logs record biblionumber instead of item number
13:48 jcamins :P
13:48 It works partly.
13:49 kf but that's circulation! :)
13:49 jcamins That much I can handle.
13:50 It's the more circulate-y stuff that's a problem.
13:50 oleonard wibbly-wobbly circulatey stuff.
13:50 ago43 joined #koha
13:50 jcamins Exactly.
13:51 tcohen oh, i just noticed its already 8 in some places
13:51 jcamins tcohen: it's 8:51am here.
13:51 * jcamins realizes you meant the date.
13:51 drinks more tea.

13:52 grharry left #koha
13:53 jcamins Whoops.
13:53 I just crashed my VM.
13:53 VT0 still works.
13:54 Kinda.
13:54 * oleonard keeps forgetting to test a couple of Chrome bugs when he's at home on his Mac...
13:54 kyle hello all.
13:54 oleonard Hi kyle
13:54 kf hi kyle
13:54 jcamins Yay! I managed to get my VM to shut down.
13:54 Good morning kyle.
13:55 kyle I've been testing the patch for Bug 7231. It works great, as long as there is no dollar sign in 020$c. Is it acceptable for Koha to choke when currency symbols are used in price fields?
13:55 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7231 major, P5 - low, ---, srdjan, Needs Signoff , ordering from staged file not using price
13:56 jcamins kyle: not in my opinion.
13:57 kyle: but ask kf, because I don't actually know anything about acquisitions.
13:57 talljoy joined #koha
13:57 kf kyle: I would note that on the bug, if the standard says you can do that, it should not choke
13:57 oleonard What do you mean by "choke?" It should have error-handling at least.
13:58 kyle jcamins: I'll do that. Thanks.
13:58 kf I mean the marc21 standard
13:58 kyle oleonard: it doesn't really choke, it just doesn't pull the price over. You get an empty field instead of the price.
13:58 kf we probably need it to search for numbers, and decimal , and decimal .
13:59 kyle I suppose in a way it is a graceful failure, because you can really put anything you want in there, it's not limited to a single dollar value anyway.
13:59 kf kyle: about 345 - that looks weird, perhaps unimarc?
14:00 but it should check the syspref if that is the case
14:00 jcamins kf: the currency symbol is usually included in 020.
14:00 kf: I think that's RDA.
14:00 kyle Not unimarc either, I don't know why it's in there. Paul wrote the code.
14:00 jcamins No, maybe not.
14:00 kf it is, but not related to price
14:00 jcamins 365 is price.
14:00 kf kyle: wonder why there is no UNIMARC/MARC21 thing
14:00 same field?
14:01 http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd345.html
14:01 kyle In the sub it uses 020 for marc21, and 010 for unimarc.
14:01 kf I think that is failed qa
14:01 oleonard: ok with me reopening 2780?
14:01 kyle but that is not directly related to the patch in question.
14:01 kf bug 2780
14:01 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=2780 minor, P3, ---, oleonard, RESOLVED FIXED, capitalizing strings
14:01 oleonard Yes
14:02 * oleonard didn't even know it was closed
14:02 kf I didn't even know it existed :)
14:02 I wondered about the capitalization for some time
14:02 it's very mixed up right now
14:02 * oleonard had it filed in the corner of his brain for nagging open bugs he didn't want to deal with
14:02 kf heh
14:03 example: advanced search
14:03 we have
14:03 [More options]          [New Search]
14:03 Publication Date Range:
14:03 Location and availability

14:03 oleonard I agree 100%, and am personally to blame for much of it.
14:03 kf I don't want to blame anyone - I only want a rule to follow!
14:04 so next time I am working on those templates... I know which is the right form! :)
14:04 Advanced Search   | Browse by author or subject   | Tag Cloud
14:05 oleonard: does the rule always work? that the first word should be capitalized?
14:05 and names and languages, countries (of course)
14:05 oleonard I think so. If we find what we think is an exception we can discuss.
14:07 kf Perhaps starting in the opac would not be a bad idea
14:07 making it more consistent carefullly

14:10 oleonard kf: Now I notice all the inconsistencies in Bugzilla's interface ;)
14:10 kf heh
14:13 oleonard What's Safari doing jcamins, besides being awkward to use and generally annoying?
14:13 jcamins oleonard: it doesn't like :8080
14:14 And rather than simply complaining or something, it pretends it's busy.

14:15 jcamins Good morning lculber!
14:15 lculber jcamins:  you said to call if I needed help. HELP!!  Do I install indexing mode for authorities as dom?
14:16 jcamins Yup.
14:16 If you're doing a new installation, you should apply the patch for bug 7284 first, then do the installation.
14:16 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7284 major, P3, ---, jcamins, Needs Signoff , Authority matching algorithm improvements
14:16 jcamins That'll save you a reindexing step later. ;)
14:17 lculber thanks.  I thought I saw the patch, but in the git but maybe not.  I'll make clean start over.
14:17 jcamins If you're part-way through the installation process, it's pretty easy to copy the new DOM config over manually and reindex.
14:19 lculber I need the easiest way possible. Which would you recommend.
14:19 jcamins Have you put any data in the database yet?
14:19 lculber No. I'm just starting the install now
14:19 jcamins In that case, the easiest way is to apply the patch, then rerun the installation.
14:20 lculber Got it. Thanks.  I'll come back if I need more help.  Thanks.
14:20 jcamins You're welcome.
14:20 Good luck. :)

14:54 Soupermanito joined #koha
14:54 jcamins It's a pretty cool feature, now that it's DB-based.
15:02 sekjal agreed that any hash will have a chance of conflict; it's a limited (though vast) space, and it's very hashy nature means that you cannot uniquely determine a value based on it's hash alone
15:02 SHA1 would give us a larger space, but not any solution to the fundamental problem
15:03 I think 2^128 possible values is probably enough for any library

15:28 MARC21 ? or "no change" ?
15:28 oleonard "no change"
15:28 paul_p OK, that's it. If you choose "no change", then the DB is not updated !
15:28 at all
15:29 so, last night a commit has updated the code, but not the database

16:08 Oh I see you did :)
16:08 wizzyrea but I may still try to find the problem ^.^
16:09 * wizzyrea runs in circles "I'M HELPING!"
16:09 also runs in circles shouting "Test plans! Test plans!"
16:10 oleonard I wonder, in light of Bug 7339, whether we need to re-think how we handle contextual help
16:10 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7339 critical, P5 - low, ---, paul.poulain, Signed Off , Help System in IE8-9 Does Not Load With 500 Error
16:11 wizzyrea are people actually using the ability to edit that help?
16:11 kf it gets overwritten with update
16:11 wizzyrea then no, probably not.
16:11 kf and the directories have the wrong permissions when installing
16:12 in my experience
16:12 wizzyrea same
16:12 kf so you have to change the permissions... and save them from being overwritten
16:12 wizzyrea which means that if we want to keep them
16:12 they probably need to move to somewhere like /etc/
16:12 oleonard Sounds like a pretty sucky feature :P
16:12 kf the idea is good...
16:12 wizzyrea yea, the idea *is* good
16:12 kf perhaps the way to do it is wrong
16:12 wizzyrea but I think the help should probably be kept in the db?
16:12 kf and it would be like a small cms
16:13 saved in the database
16:13 and you could add custom sections.. that would be save when updating
16:13 wizzyrea we already have that kind of functionality with "news"
16:13 kf yep
16:13 laurence joined #koha
16:13 kf I was exactly thinking about news :)
16:13 wizzyrea great minds :)
16:13 kf the problem witht hat is... that database stuff is not translatable
16:13 *sigh*
16:13 wizzyrea well
16:13 the sample strings would be translatable?
16:14 kf translating in sql is very hard
16:14 and it's a lot of text
16:14 wizzyrea ah yea ok
16:14 so
16:14 kf a way to parse them into a separate po file.. that would be kinda cool
16:14 wizzyrea well how could we do it so that it would be easier to translate, but still ... ^^ this
16:14 kf I think magnuse was fighting translating the help :)
16:14 you could save it for last, starting with the interface
16:15 with separate files
16:16 wizzyrea what about
16:16 if in the translation script
16:16 when you install a language
16:16 it dumps out the help from the db into a .po file
16:16 then you "install" the new help
16:16 when you're done
16:16 kf hm
16:17 I am not sure this wil work
16:17 you will still want all versions
16:17 wizzyrea keep in mind, I've got no idea how it actually works.
16:17 kf installing a language should use the po file to generate sql to write that into your database
16:17 ah
16:17 but
16:17 perhaps we could just keep the text files
16:17 as is
16:18 and add a text block you can edit to them
16:18 on top
16:18 might be easier
16:18 so you can make additions...
16:18 wizzyrea or, instead of
16:18 writing to the files
16:18 keep the extra stuff in the db
16:18 and display it along with the stuff that gets updated
16:18 so your changes are always preserved
16:19 but the help could change around it
16:19 does that make sense?
16:20 we may be saying the same thing

16:39 kf wizzyrea: yep, we are saying the same :)
16:39 sorry
16:39 covered in tickets here...
16:40 wizzyrea do you know if the new floating rules fall victim to the same issue that the other hold policy rules do, in that they don't fall back correctly (i.e. every library must have them defined for an item type for it to work across all branches/patron categories/item types)
16:40 I'm going to assume that problem still exists.
16:40 kf no idea
16:41 wizzyrea that was for sekjal :)
16:41 sekjal wizzyrea:  I believe that problem is resolved
16:41 wizzyrea with this patch or in general
16:41 sekjal I remember testing with default library rules only, and having it work
16:41 my patch didn't change any mechanics for the hold policies in general
16:41 wizzyrea k
16:42 sekjal just piggybacked on what already existed
16:42 wizzyrea k
16:42 cool
16:42 ty
16:42 sekjal if you can verify that, it would bring us all peace of mind
16:42 wizzyrea I'll try :)

16:44 so handy.
16:45 oleonard Thanks. I still forget it's there and scroll to the top to look for it.

17:00 oleonard: what patch did you just test?
17:01 oleonard Can't have been the patch I just tested--no database update.
17:02 The last database update I tested was probably my own
17:02 ...which is good news for everyone else.

18:56 Culiforge jcamins: thx, saw someone on fed boards say there was a YUM repo for it for CentOS in which they also said that cent and fedora enterprise were the "same'
18:56 figured I'd check here with the knowledgeable folks
18:56 jcamins Culiforge: maybe I'm wrong, then.
18:56 However, to the best of my knowledge, the last RPM was for 3.0.
18:57 cait wizzyrea: do you remember which menus were broken after applying the translation patch?
18:58 Culiforge so then my next question, the boss wants koha on fedora 14.. wiki has instructions for fed 7. what's best method in your opinions for installing..
18:59 jcamins Culiforge: persuade him to use Debian.
18:59 Barring that, run Debian using kvm.
18:59 Culiforge jcamins: wish I could.. he's hooked on fedora because of rpmtools
19:00 jcamins Doesn't kvm let you run Fedora but also run Debian?
19:04 Culiforge jcamins: I asked around in the Fedora forums this morning for some advice and got soundly thrashed for it.. Makes me wanna dump Fedora right now if that's any indication of what their community is like
19:05 jcamins Culiforge: I haven't heard anything good about installing Koha on Fedora/RH.
19:05 Culiforge jcamins: I'll have to talk to the boss-man/fedora-man about it.. he seems to think it's easy-peasy
19:07 sekjal Culiforge:  I can tell you from experience that RedHat installations are an absolute nightmare (if not flat out impossible).  Not sure how much of that applies to Fedora
19:08 Culiforge sekjal: thanks for the heads up
19:10 sekjal Culiforge:  you're welcome.  best of luck

19:13 lculber Is anyone else testing 7824?
19:14 oleonard Check that bug number lculber
19:14 sekjal bug 7284
19:14 wahanui bug 7284 is the first step to making that happen.
19:14 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7284 major, P3, ---, jcamins, Needs Signoff , Authority matching algorithm improvements
19:15 lculber I'm testing 7824 and have a question, but will check back.  I'm a rank beginner but trying.
19:17 jcamins lculber: I'm here now.
19:17 Having a late lunhc. :)
19:17 *lunch
19:20 lculber jcamins:  In patch testing plan setting up patch, the first part seems to be already there now. Found all files except file supposed to run installer/data/mysql/atomicupdat​e/bug_7284_authority_linking_pt1
19:20 Can I still proceed. Everything else looks right.
19:21 jcamins If that file isn't there, the patch probably hasn't been applied correctly.
19:21 wizzyrea ^^
19:21 jcamins The other files that are called for are required for all Koha installations, it just so happens that they have to be updated by the patch.
19:22 The following commands should take care of the installation:
19:22 Actually, I'll use paste.koha-community.org (one moment while I paste them)
19:24 lculber All your nice settings are in the system preferences. I was so excited. :(
19:24 jcamins Oh, they are?
19:24 Hm.
19:25 If they show up in the system preferences, the problem is probably a typo in my instructions.
19:25 If you run git log, does it show a *really long* commit message about bug 7284?
19:25 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7284 major, P3, ---, jcamins, Needs Signoff , Authority matching algorithm improvements
19:26 lculber yes, it is really long
19:26 jcamins Okay, good.
19:26 lculber Not sure it is all there though
19:27 jcamins What we wanted to check was that there was a long message.
19:27 If it's not very short, it's the right patch, and installed correctly. :)
19:27 wizzyrea: there's apparently an error in my test plan.
19:27 * wizzyrea gasps
19:27 schuster schuster gasps!
19:27 wizzyrea my mental image of your perfection has been shattered!
19:27 wait... no, it's fine.
19:28 ^.^
19:28 jcamins lculber: in that case, yeah, you can just continue with your tests. :)
19:29 wizzyrea nice test plan (seriously)
19:29 lculber you all need to remember that I'm not only a rank beginner but a total klutz, so if there is an error it is probably mine.
19:29 wizzyrea hehe - mistakes, we all make them.
19:29 is why we TEST ALL THE THINGS
19:29 jcamins Well, that and who doesn't like running the authority linker over and over and over?

19:31 lculber I'm going to try forging ahead.  If it doesn't work, I'll try reinstalling the patch. How's that sound?
19:31 jcamins That makes sense.
19:31 If you're seeing the sysprefs, though, you have it all set up properly. :)
19:31 lculber Okay.  Here I go.
19:33 jcamins Who looks at the rectangular selection tool in Photoshop and says "ah-ha! We should call that the "marquee tool"?
19:34 wizzyrea why not call it the "rectangular selection tool"
19:34 lculber spoke too soon. Was setting my system prefernces and some seem to be missing, so I think something got garbled.  Can you post how to fix?
19:34 jcamins wizzyrea: that's my question!
19:35 lculber: hm. What's the output of ls ~/kohaclone/installer/data/mysql/atomicupdate
19:35 wizzyrea this is me hoping that you didn't do that on your production system ^.^
19:39 lculber opps - senior moment. forgot where the paste thing is.  The output of ls ~/kohaclone/installer/data/mysql/atomicupdate is 10 lines long

19:41 jcamins Yeah, typo on my part it looks like.
19:41 Run: perl ~/kohaclone/installer/data/mysql/atomi​cupdate/bug_7284_authority_linking_pt1
19:42 schuster Get it all square - I'm working on getting a "testing" machine setup - I'm stripping all my data and loading only 50,000 bibs so it will be manageable.
19:43 jcamins - did you want my Auth and biblio?  I extracted the screens as you instructed so could provide you my full data if you want them still.
19:43 pastebot "lculber" at 205.144.231.36 pasted "perl output" (3 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/246
19:43 jcamins lculber: Ah! You need to set KOHA_CONF and PERL5LIB.
19:43 As follows:
19:44 export KOHA_CONF=/home/lculber/koha-dev/etc/koha-conf.xml
19:44 export PERL5LIB=/home/lculber/kohaclone
19:44 Then rerun.
19:44 schuster: At this point I'm having other people test so that we can get the improved linking into Koha ASAP, so there's probably no point in sending it.
19:46 schuster Sorry I've been so behind in helping test...  I finally found my usb drives to help me move files around here at the office!  For me to do testing and interact I have to do it at home right now so it is a pain.  Needs to look into what it would take to open stuff here at the office.
19:47 jcamins That's okay.
19:47 lculber Success! Upgrade done (Configured bug 7284, improved authority matching)

19:47 jcamins Woohoo!
19:48 Now you just play with the options and see if it does what you want! :)
19:48 Then, when it does (I'm being optimistic), you can sign off. :)
19:48 You may want to add those two export... lines to your ~/.profile file, so that they're always set.

19:51 jcamins Now you just try the linker.
19:52 magnus_afk: the cookies I made yesterday came out very tasty.

19:57 jcamins Ah.
19:57 Yes, that means it installed properly.
19:58 (previously)
20:05 schuster jcamins what type of cookies did you make?
20:05 jcamins schuster: my family calls them "sandtarts," but they're not the same as everyone else's "sandtarts."
20:05 schuster about time druthb_away joined Koha LOL....
20:06 Never heard of one what is that?
20:06 Just looked it up they remind me of the italian wedding cookie... hummmm.
20:08 jcamins They're chocolate chip cookies with a bit of lemon extract and no baking soda or baking powder.
20:08 Very tasty.
20:08 I've never had what most people call "sandtarts."
20:08 Right, those are nothing like what I made.
20:10 Really easy recipe: 1 c. butter, 1-1/4 c. sugar, 1 tsp. vanilla extract, 1 tsp. lemon extract, 1 egg, 2 c. flour, 1 c. chocolate chips. Bake 7-9 min at 350F

20:12 oleonard I'm still looking for comments on Bug 7493 if any database-savvy folks care to look
20:12 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"
20:15 cait oleonard: your logic made sense to me - only not sure if a null borrowernumber will make problems somewhere?
20:15 display in opac/moderating comments/recent comments
20:16 oleonard Yes, of course the next step will be to find and fix those problems.
20:16 lculber jcamins: I have data in the database.  Would that have everything off?
20:17 jcamins lculber: it defaults to exactly the way it behaves now.
20:18 So it'll be set to LinkerRelink = on, and the others off.
20:19 schuster So is there an easy way to see bugs needing sign off?
20:19 jcamins lculber: you can try setting it just to the combination of settings that you think is most appropriate for *your* data, though, to start with.
20:19 schuster: I'm glad you asked!
20:19 There is indeed.
20:19 Uh-oh.
20:19 Is bugs.k-c.org down?
20:19 schuster jcamins so you just mix together and bake? just a regular cookie?
20:19 jcamins schuster: yup.
20:20 sekjal schuster:  http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]d=1&list_id=21309
20:20 schuster thanks sekjal
20:21 jcamins lculber: the link_bibs_to_authorities.pl task is now much faster, so you could even try lots of different combinations to see what works best for you.
20:21 lculber: you could also just work through the test plan, actually, since that will test almost every possibility.
20:29 lculber jcamins:  I just did a quick reinstall - took 2 minutes - just to see.  I'm working through your test instructions again now
20:31 jcamins lculber: this is a particularly large patch- once you've gotten through the signing off procedure on this one, you should be pretty much comfortable to sign off on anything you're interested in. :)
20:32 cait heh
20:33 lculber jcamins:  the setting up patch instructions went just as they should this time so, I think the patch did NOT install correctly the first time.

20:35 opps that didn't make sense, did it? Duh!
20:35 jcamins lculber: not really, no.
20:35 :)
20:36 schuster jcamins - do you have to have it indexed before you do the linking?
20:36 jcamins schuster: yes.
20:36 schuster: well, the authorities have to be indexed.
20:36 schuster OK thanks
20:36 jcamins How else could the linker find them.
20:36 *?
20:36 ;)
20:37 lculber Well, I'm off to do indexing then. 100000+ biblios and about 24500 authorities I think, so it will be a while.  I'll check back.

21:38 ok, I tested the first part
21:39 but now I am not even sure what BiblioAddsAuthorities does
21:39 jcamins It sets whether you can edit authority-controlled fields at all.
21:40 drojf1 i will try tomorrow. i have the feeling that i wont be too koha-productive though since i will actually go to the library. there are always people to bother me with non-koha things ;)
21:40 cait: maybe you can write me a walktrhough for the walkthrough and i follow in your footsteps ;)

21:45 drojf1 i dont know if we even have a framework for authorities now. or specs for one. i see a whole new world of fun in front of me
21:45 jcamins drojf1: the authorities framework comes by default.
21:46 drojf1 yes but we have to decide what fields we will use
21:46 and i hope i am not the person to do that
21:46 eythian jcamins: authorities scare me a little I think :)
21:46 drojf1 have not looked at that much yet
21:47 eythian: me too :D
21:47 jcamins eythian: that's how we know you're human. :P
21:49 cait lol
21:49 drojf1: if you set an installation up with the sample files, it should work for playing with jcamins patch
21:49 wizzyrea oh - uh, I should do THAT
21:49 rather than do what I'm doing :P
21:50 cait++ for always having the best ideas.
21:50 cait ?
21:50 wizzyrea using the sample data.
21:50 der.
21:50 cait ah
21:50 drojf1 cait: yeah i thought so. but its an issue for our import too and i have not heard much from my colleague about it. so i guess nothing happened in that field for us
21:50 cait I meant the frameworks
21:50 you will still need authority records I guess
21:50 wizzyrea hrmph.
21:50 :)
21:50 cait heh
21:59 slef @marc 001
21:59 huginn` slef: The control number assigned by the organization creating, using, or distributing the record. The MARC code for the organization is contained in field 003 (Control Number Identifier). []
22:00 slef marc21?
22:00 wahanui marc21 is at http://www.loc.gov/marc/biblio[…]hic/ecbdlist.html , http://www.loc.gov/marc/authority/ecadlist.html
22:00 wizzyrea i'm vaguely surprised that there is no reference to marc being evil or needing to die in there.
22:00 drojf1 :D
22:00 eythian wahanui: marc
22:00 wahanui http://marc-must-die.info
22:01 eythian there you go
22:01 wizzyrea keke
22:02 druthb joined #koha
22:02 * drojf1 sneaks off to bed
22:02 drojf1 good night #koha, have a nice meeting
22:03 wizzyrea jcamins: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r[…]-from-drille.html
22:03 cait night drojf1
22:04 jcamins That's pretty cool, but I'm not sure how practical it is.
22:04 I prefer my reading lamps to shine line down from overhead.
22:04 wizzyrea it's not - just a use for very old (not rare) books
22:05 druthb $140-150 for that?  dang.  I'm in the wrong bizness.
22:06 wizzyrea it's not too late!
22:06 * wizzyrea imagines them made out of old romance novels
22:06 wizzyrea spicy!
22:06 druthb lulz.
22:06 cait lol
22:06 wizzyrea++
22:07 druthb 11 or 12 bucks for the bulb, find the books at goodwill (or make a library book sale VERY happy), plus some wiring, a switch, and a bulb base....
22:09 lculber joined #koha
22:10 lculber Really dumb question about web interfaces used for testing  - cloned branch.
22:11 wizzyrea i'm sure it's not dumb, go ahead
22:11 @quote search ask
22:11 huginn` wizzyrea: 7 found: #117: "<druthb> basking ? You bask on the beach...one...", #126: "<rangi> The beauty of Koha is we develop in the...", #13: "<atz> ricardo: ask and ye shall receive.......", #145: "Don't ask to ask, just ask!", #155: "libsysguy: I always hate touching somebody...", #45: "<CGI988> sekjal - you are a genious!!!!! asking...", and #4: "< kf> I often get asked: You have to study to..."
22:12 JesseM left #koha
22:12 lculber wizzyrea: don't underestimate my stupidity. I cloned master, checked out and set up and set up a test branch to use, and that's where my data is.
22:12 wizzyrea @quote get 145
22:12 huginn` wizzyrea: Quote #145: "Don't ask to ask, just ask!" (added by wizzyrea at 02:37 PM, July 07, 2011)
22:13 wizzyrea seems sand :)
22:13 sane* even.
22:13 cait good night all
22:13 wizzyrea gnite cait
22:13 druthb wizzyrea++   #gots her reasons, m'kay?
22:14 lculber Okay, well now when I try to get to it using the ip address I can't see the data.  I can see it in the database, but not in the browser
22:14 wizzyrea but you get the web interface?
22:14 cait will not be around for the meeting :(
22:14 3am... *sigh*
22:14 lculber Yes, but it is empty.
22:14 cait left #koha
22:15 wizzyrea meaning that you can click around, but there's nothing in there to look at?
22:15 or that the page is entirely blank
22:15 sorry to be dense :)
22:15 lculber I can click around but it doesn't even look like the right version. It looks like 3.6, when it should be master - that's what I cloned
22:16 wizzyrea well 3.6 and master would look very similar.
22:16 but, the point is
22:16 lculber In about it says. 3.6. 0. 0
22:16 wizzyrea ah, are you running more than one instance on this test machine?
22:16 magnus_afk 64 bugs that need signoff - more awesomeness! i'll do my best to tackle bug 6440 tomorrow, if noone beats me to it
22:16 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6440 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, julian.maurice, Needs Signoff , Koha's OAI-PMH does not support sets
22:17 wizzyrea that one is all yours :)
22:17 magnus_afk wizzyrea: yay ;-)
22:17 lculber wizzyrea,  yes, afraid there is another instance - 3.6.2 and it's beautiful.
22:17 magnus_afk g'night #koha, and happy hunting!
22:18 lculber I gave the other instance a name of koha_test and tried that, - no go, and so tried the ip.  Same thing.  I don't know what else to try.
22:18 jcamins lculber: probably you need to run updatedatabase.
22:19 lculber: or, how did you set up multiple instances?
22:19 wizzyrea I don't think that would keep her from seeing things like patrons, for example
22:19 jcamins wizzyrea: ah, hm.
22:19 * jcamins didn't read all the way back.
22:19 wizzyrea I suspect that there is some confusion about which koha-conf.xml it's looking at
22:19 lculber I set up the multiple instances using the instructions on the wiki
22:19 wizzyrea oh, link?
22:19 wahanui rumour has it link is a bit confusing
22:19 wizzyrea forget link
22:19 wahanui wizzyrea: I forgot link
22:19 slef bleah anyone want a cataloguing question?
22:20 jcamins slef: no, what is it?
22:20 wizzyrea hahaha
22:20 Space_Librarian depends...
22:20 slef when cataloging a book that was donated, can the donor's name go in the marc21 anywhere?
22:21 jcamins slef: 561.
22:21 Or...
22:21 541.
22:21 Probably 541.
22:21 wizzyrea nm I found it, lculber.
22:22 ok so
22:22 slef jcamins: 542 looks good. ta.
22:22 jcamins++
22:22 jcamins 541.
22:22 542 is for copyright.
22:22 slef 1
22:22 sorry
22:23 kindle keyb a bit fiddly
22:23 wizzyrea ..... kindle?
22:23 * wizzyrea faints
22:23 slef yeah
22:23 it runs debian
22:23 wizzyrea hehehehe
22:23 nice one
22:23 slef low power
22:23 free 3g
22:23 wizzyrea actually that's quite awesome.
22:24 easy to read :)
22:24 schuster Why in the MARC and not just the item record itself?
22:24 slef although 3g only in the browser
22:24 schuster That way when the Library "weeds" the donated copy and another copy comes in you don't think that was the donated copy. and your MARC record is still "clean"
22:24 slef so I just regret the amaxonism and foxconn
22:25 schuster: very good point
22:25 schuster OPAC note is a good spot for the item - Donated by- and still searchable by Koha.
22:25 I have moments...
22:25 slef schuster: best ask them why they put them in the bibs on the current cat
22:25 wizzyrea slef - it's getting difficult to buy ethically produced electronics. :(
22:26 slef so that'll take a week...
22:26 wizzyrea they're like the nike shoes of the current generation
22:26 schuster probably because that was the only place they could put it to be indexed. - slef
22:26 slef wizzyrea: getting???
22:26 wizzyrea well i'm not sure you actually *can* buy ethically produced electronics.
22:26 jcamins lculber: where is your master install located?
22:27 I mean, koha-dev, koha-dev2... ?
22:27 wizzyrea i was *trying* (poorly) to be optimistics
22:27 :P
22:27 slef wizzyrea: we've always had this prob. Ever sinceI've looked into it
22:27 schuster ok done for now!  I'm working on my batch picture upload command line and borrower batch command line utilities for cron jobs that we have running
22:27 maximep left #koha
22:28 wizzyrea slef: :(((
22:28 slef wizzyrea: it's the only bit of the coop codewe completely fail on and always have
22:29 wizzyrea don't even know where to begin on that problem.
22:29 slef and niw lots of stuff has conflict minerals in
22:29 now
22:29 me either
22:29 lculber jcamins:  master was downloaded to /home/lculber/kohaclone but it was installed to the regular koha paths like /user/share/koha_test
22:29 the instance is called koha_test
22:30 slef I've a bamboo keyboard and some uk-made stuff
22:30 but it's minor
22:30 wizzyrea *nod*
22:30 slef @marc 952
22:30 wahanui The 952 field is used by Koha to store item data in MARC21 and is described at http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]_fields_%289xx%29
22:30 huginn` slef: unknown tag 952
22:33 luisb joined #koha
22:34 slef biab
22:36 jcamins lculber: oh, in that case you need to adjust the export... commands to match /usr/share/koha_test/*
22:37 Probably you need to adjust your Apache config to point to /usr/share/koha_test too.
22:37 wizzyrea sounded to me like she had apache sorted :)
22:40 lculber We got it.  It was an apache configuration issue.  And then the database did need to be updated. Thanks for the help wizzyrea and jcamins. I was going nuts.
22:42 Now about says 3.07.00.011
22:42 trea left #koha
22:42 wizzyrea squee!
22:42 jcamins Hooray!
22:43 lculber Yes!  My data is all there and I can start testing. Sorry it's taken me so long. Thanks for your patience and help.
22:45 jcamins:  We have lots of authorities and the only ones that are linked are the ones since we moved to Koha in May.  How would you like us to start?
22:45 Ones added I mean.
22:46 Most of them are older from old system
22:50 jcamins lculber: there's a complete test plan on the ticket, but you might also just try turning LinkerRelink and LinkerKeepStale on and turning AutoCreateAuthorities off.
22:50 See if that gets the links set up the way you want.
22:50 Or, maybe even better:
22:51 Turn LinkerKeepStale off, and set LinkerOptions to "broader_headings"
22:51 (leaving LinkerRelink on and AutoCreateAuthorities off)
22:52 Then run link_bibs_to_authorities.pl -l -v > ~/linker.log
22:53 Do you have a lot of duplicate authorities?
22:53 Guillaume left #koha
22:55 lculber This is exciting. Will link_bibs_to_authorities.pl  work now?  I saw that was one of the tests.  Should I hold off on it?
22:55 jcamins It should.
22:55 lculber We shouldn't have any duplicate auhtorities as far as I know - but that doesn't mean we don't
22:56 jcamins The best thing to do for testing would probably be to work through the test plan on the bug, then try the combination of settings I just gave you and see if that links everything you feel should be linked.
22:56 Hm.
22:56 You might want to also use the FirstMatch LinkerModule.
22:57 (for the final test)
22:58 The test plan will enable you to confidently sign off on the bug for Koha.
22:59 The configuration I suggested will hopefully meet MDAH's needs long-term. :)
22:59 lculber Fantastic. I'm going to get the cataloger who specializes in authority work to work with me. She will be excited and know what to watch for. We are SO excited!!
23:00 jcamins++
23:00 jcamins :)
23:00 * jcamins is very excited to have this in Koha, too.
23:00 lculber Off for testing. thanks!
23:01 jcamins You're welcome.
23:01 Post any comments you have on the bug. :)
23:31 Good night, #koha.
