00:08 sphinx joined #koha
00:58 Waylon joined #koha
00:59 Waylon hiya all! question.... koha is set up to use a local sendmail server... but my server admin thinks the ideal is to get koha to use our mail service provided by googlemail... how do i do that?
00:59 how do i get koha sending mail via a remote smtp?
02:00 eythian Waylon: the best way is to make the local sendmail server relay via your google mail service
02:01 Waylon eythian, how do i do that?
02:02 eythian that depends, are you actually using sendmail (or are you using postfix or exim or something?)
02:05 Waylon postfix and dovecot are running... im guessing postfix.
02:07 eythian yeah, postfix
02:07 I'll look up the config details
02:08 http://braiden.org/?p=15 <-- Waylon
02:09 "postfix smarthost relay gmail" are the search terms I used in case you need more info
02:14 Waylon great... my boss is now looking at using Open Journal Systems instead of koha,
02:14 great, being sarcasm of course.
02:16 ah ... damn.. its in php.
02:18 eythian Keep in mind that research has shown that PHP causes brain tumors in rats and PHP developers.
02:19 it looks to me that OJS does a different task to Koha
02:23 Waylon yeah.. mandumah.com is a digital library archive of journals.
02:24 eythian ah right
02:25 Waylon so.... instead of upgrading koha and re-modifying it, i think they might go to this and modify that instead...
02:25 will mean i won't have any work.
02:25 eythian bugger :/
02:26 Waylon Yeah.. will have to advertise for part time work on Koha. At least ill probably be working on current koha... if someone picks me up.
02:26 eythian Waylon: where are you based?
02:26 Waylon working on ancient koha... was difficult. #koha couldn't really help much... and yeah... Im in New Zealand.
02:26 Palmerston north.
02:29 eythian ah right. Can't think of many Koha libraries around that way unfortunately.
02:29 Waylon oh... can work remotely.
02:29 anyway.. PHP... that bad?
02:29 eythian I'm not a fan. I've had to use it before, and much prefer Perl.
02:31 I find it strange that the function to give you the list of what a borrower has borrowers is called GetPendingIssues...there doesn't seem to be anything pending about them.
02:32 Waylon can koha organize journals into journals, volumes, issues then articles?
02:33 how?
02:33 eythian Waylon: yeah, I think that's what analytics does
02:33 I'd ask jcamins_away about that, he knows the most.
02:33 Waylon right now, each article is its own biblio record.
02:34 so can't really browse along the journals like OJS says it can do.
02:34 eythian I think it's only really doable in 3.4 and above, 3.6 preferred.
02:35 Waylon but it is doable?
02:35 eythian I think so, yeah
02:35 I'm not really an expert in it
02:37 Waylon right. but jcamins_away is away... so guess i have to wait.
02:42 wizzyrea joined #koha
02:43 Waylon hello wizzyrea ?
03:25 jcamins_away One moment.
03:26 * jcamins_away is here.
03:26 jcamins_away Waylon: OJS and Koha serve *completely* different purposes.
03:27 If Koha is mostly meeting their needs, OJS is very unlikely to.
03:27 Likewise, if they're switching to a publishing model, Koha is probably the wrong package.
03:28 * eythian just had a lot of trouble realising that Date::ICal and Data::ICal are actually two quite different things.
03:29 jcamins_away eythian: what's the difference?
03:29 Oh, never mind.
03:29 eythian yeah, that was my problem :)
03:30 * jcamins_away is trying to think of a use case where OJS and Koha might overlap.
03:33 can't do it.
03:33 jcamins_away Waylon: around?
03:34 * jcamins_away eyes the pull-out couch sleepily.
03:39 jcamins_away Waylon: even with 3.6 there is no browse functionality with analytics. Or with anything else, really.
03:42 * jcamins_away is going to sleep.
03:42 jcamins_away Good night.
03:42 Waylon: with DOM indexing one could conceivably add analytics browsing. ByWater and Equinox are involved in a DOM indexing project, so hopefully we'll see a start on that sometime soon.
03:42 * jcamins_away really leaves now.
04:04 wizzyrea oh hi?
04:04 * wahanui waves

10:19 Viktor-sweden Some kind of API for sending order data to vendors?
10:22 Or is it possible to extract data like ISBN, quantity etc from the acquisitions module from Koha and use in a vendor-specific standalone script?
10:44 cait Viktor-sweden: Hi Viktor-sweden
10:44 you can print orders as PDF, currently there is no EDIFACT support - if you meant that by API
10:45 you can extract all data from all modules using custom reports and sql
11:01 sheikh303 joined #koha
11:02 sheikh303 hello everyone
11:04 can anyone tell me. how can i create a simple page contact us/about us page
11:39 magnus_afk tjänare Viktor-sweden and cait and #koha!
11:40 cait hi magnus_afk
11:40 magnus_afk sheikh303: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_as_a_CMS
11:54 magnuse @wunder boo
11:54 huginn` magnuse: The current temperature in Bodo, Norway is 2.0°C (12:20 PM CET on February 12, 2012). Conditions: Partly Cloudy. Humidity: 75%. Dew Point: -2.0°C. Windchill: -3.0°C. Pressure: 30.01 in 1016 hPa (Steady).
11:54 cait @wunder Konstanz
11:54 huginn` cait: The current temperature in Taegerwilen, Taegerwilen, Germany is -8.8°C (12:54 PM CET on February 12, 2012). Conditions: Mostly Cloudy. Humidity: 69%. Dew Point: -13.0°C. Windchill: -12.0°C. Pressure: 30.44 in 1030.7 hPa (Falling).
11:54 cait hmpf.
11:55 magnuse ~10 degrees difference...
11:55 cait yeah
11:55 moving to norway wins points every day...
11:56 Viktor-sweden Thanks Cait!
11:56 cait Viktor-sweden: I forgot, you can also export ordres in csv
11:56 Viktor-sweden Ah, excellent!
11:56 cait and you are welcome
11:56 :)
11:57 Viktor-sweden Sorry it took so long. Went out for lunch and forgot to mention it :/
11:57 cait it's ok - np
11:57 Viktor-sweden But CSV should be very useful.
11:57 cait my answer came a bit late, was not sure you were still around
11:58 you can also get csv from reports, I think there are lots of ways to get the data out
11:58 Viktor-sweden If we would go ahead and create something that post an order to a webshop.
11:58 magnuse yeah, exporting reports as csv is very flexible!
11:59 Viktor-sweden Still EDIFACT or some standard XML-based protocol would be great if someone were to implement. But I'd say Koha is still very competent on acquisitions anyhow.
11:59 And hi magnuse :)
12:00 magnuse tjänare Viktor-sweden
12:00 :-)
12:00 Viktor-sweden And hi huginn'
12:01 cait ah, be warned
12:01 huginn is our bot :)
12:01 or one of them - wahanui is the other
12:01 @marc 245
12:01 huginn` cait: The title and statement of responsibility area of the bibliographic description of a work. [a,b,c,f,g,h,k,n,p,s,6,8]
12:01 Viktor-sweden Oh I see :) Only knew about logbot.
12:02 cait There is some code for EDIFACT - but I think it's still in development
12:02 not ready for testing yet
12:02 magnuse Viktor-sweden: there's bug 2443 - but i'm far from certain what the status of that is
12:02 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=2443 enhancement, P3, ---, mjr, NEW , Acquisitions by EDIFACT
12:02 magnuse ah, great minds... ;-)
12:03 Waylon hello all!
12:03 magnuse kia ora Waylon
12:03 Waylon can koha organize journals into journals, volumes, issues then articles, to be browsable?
12:04 magnuse Viktor-sweden: slef would be the one who would know about edifact, but he's probably not around now
12:04 cait Waylon: hmm not an easy queston
12:05 Waylon: if you are using the seirals module, you can have serials with bound volumes as items and issues from the subscription
12:05 but volumes and issues will be on the same level
12:05 magnuse Waylon: i guess you could catalogue articles and link to full text elsewhere
12:05 Viktor-sweden magnuse Ah, ok.
12:06 Waylon the full text is in pdf files.. to be downloaded
12:06 cait Waylon: yes, what magnuse said, you can always catalog links, and there are functions for analytics
12:06 and ways to link them and make those link appear in the catalog
12:06 Waylon done that.
12:06 but currently, all articles are a biblio each.
12:06 cait you currently can not upload pdf files into koha directly, you would have to store them somewhere and link to them
12:07 Waylon oh? my boss had that coded in.
12:07 magnuse and i think you would have to have 1 biblio = 1 article, and link them to issues through the analytics stuff that i don't really know
12:08 Waylon this analytics stuff is 3.4-3.6?
12:08 cait 3.6
12:08 in 3.4 you can link using $w subfields
12:08 in 3.6 there is another implementation called EasyAnayltics that works differently
12:08 Viktor-sweden We are thinking about syncing Koha to a master database by OAI.-MPH. We would then order at the vendors e-shop who talks to the master database (a national resource) who then syncs the MARC-data to us.
12:09 cait it also includes items somehow, but I can't really explain it
12:09 jcamins_away is a good source for easyanalytics
12:09 Viktor-sweden In that scenario: would acquisitions mostly be useful as a tool to follow up on the budget?
12:10 magnuse Viktor-sweden: i think it sounds like it, yes
12:10 Waylon when will jcamins_away be not away?
12:10 usually?
12:10 magnuse but maybe also for chekcing that you're actually getting what you ordered?
12:10 cait Waylon: he is in new york
12:11 Viktor-sweden magnuse True!
12:11 Keeping track of what's been ordered is quite useful.
12:11 (can't contribute with serials - sorry. But listening and learning)
12:12 Waylon so... when, is new your's waking hours?
12:14 magnuse Waylon: hard to tell on  sunday ;-)
12:14 Viktor-sweden :)
12:15 Waylon ah. good point.
12:16 cait Waylon:  he is around often, or you can try and write a mail on the list
12:16 magnuse brb
12:18 back
12:18 Viktor-sweden Going away for a while to finish of some e-mails to relevant bosses - not sure if the mibbit-widget supports chaning names/status. But it's been nice to have a first chat! And thanks again for the help.
12:19 Popping in again if e-mailing is quick :)
12:19 cait have a nice sunday Viktor-sweden
12:19 magnuse have fun Viktor-sweden!
12:19 i think you can do "/nick somethingelse" on mibbit
12:20 but i also think you get kicked out if you are inactive for a while...
12:20 Viktor-away Sweet :)
12:21 magnuse yay!
14:07 jcamins_away kf: why are you at work on a Sunday?
14:10 kf oh

18:58 * cait hands jcamins a cinnamon roll
18:58 magnuse jcamins++
18:58 jcamins cait: if you're already testing it, we can both sign off. :)
18:58 cait jcamins++
18:58 jcamins Well, assuming it works, which I'll know in... 7 minutes.
18:58 cait ah, i am about to correct my sign-off on 7289
18:59 I saved the 'waiting' for when I get tird
18:59 rangi I see eythian worked during the weekend too
19:02 And indradg has done some cool things with gnome and the packages
19:02 jcamins Yeah, I saw that on Facebook.
19:02 rangi Yup
19:02 jcamins rangi: so was the consensus that we should use SetEnv for memcached?
19:03 rangi I think both
19:03 * jcamins bangs his head on the table.
19:03 jcamins What was the point of delaying all those patches then?
19:03 rangi Env for variables but still allow the syspref to turn it off
19:03 jcamins Ah.
19:04 That makes sense.
19:04 rangi Oh that's just my consensus
19:04 :)
19:04 jcamins So the follow up to 6971 still needs sign off?
19:04 cait perhaps add your consensus to the bug
19:04 rangi Not sure what the lords decided
19:04 cait so we can +1 it :)
19:04 jcamins +1
19:04 cait um I menat the wiki
19:04 jcamins Oh, on the bug.
19:04 Oh, on the wiki.
19:04 wahanui on the wiki is more information about the packages
19:05 rangi Yep if I get a chance today I will
19:08 Syspref allows hosted ppl to control it which is important
19:08 jcamins Woohoo!
19:08 It works!
19:08 rangi Yay
19:09 My stop bb after #hrmmbreakfast
19:09 cait I never had any doubts it would
19:09 have fun :)

19:54 jcamins Now testing bug 7530 if I can figure out how.

19:57 cait it already is signed off
19:57 moving to next...hm.
20:00 jcamins Okay, I can't tell if it works or not.
20:00 cait the missing li?
20:01 jcamins Right.
20:01 And since it doesn't seem like a big deal to me, I'm not inclined to spend a huge amount of time trying to figure out what it's supposed to do.
20:03 cait ah
20:03 you can just do what the patch suggests
20:03 w3c xhtml validator
20:03 you can copy paste the html code on that page and let it check it
20:03 before and after the patch
20:03 jcamins Yes, I did that, and there were so many errors I couldn't tell whether it had behaved appropriately or not.
20:04 cait oh

20:21 magnuse jcamins: normarc records should not be necessary for bug 7489 - just check that any old icons are showing up before the patch and hidden after the patch (in line with twhat the syspref says it should do)

22:36 Phlunk3 hey guys, we have had a server reboot on a koha server, now zebra isnt working (no search) and the error log from zebra spits this out: http://pastebin.com/BkDEjtwN
22:37 rangi look for a lock file
22:37 and or busted permissions
22:39 Phlunk3 thx, I know a colleague messed with some permissions to get it this far, will try ensure he returns everything to how it was and then have a look myself. thx rangi.
22:39 eythian also look for more logs
22:39 rangi i bet its permissions either of hte lock file, or the index files themselves
22:40 but yeah more logs good too
22:42 cjh left #koha
22:43 Phlunk3 hmmz, it was days ago the server rebooted
22:43 since then been spitting that error every 30 secs, will have a look though
22:43 eythian basicaly all it's saying is that zebrasrv is dying as soon as it starts.
22:44 Phlunk3 yeah
22:44 apparently the guy made the lock folders manually.
22:44 rangi that'd do it
22:45 Phlunk3 as he was getting an error earlier, nm I'll get him to rollback and then see if I can fix the original issue.
22:45 rangi i think ubuntu kills those dirs, the newer versions of koha (using the packages) makes the dirs
22:45 Phlunk3 probably he just had to start a process, but instead tried to start wrong one etc
22:45 rangi but it probably needs the dirs /var/lock whatever
22:45 Phlunk3 ahh, it is package installed on ubuntu. but the dirs were gone he said.
22:45 rangi but just owned by the user zebra is trying to run as
22:46 probably permissions then, check the dirs are owned by the right user
22:47 Phlunk3 who should own them? koha?
22:48 rangi whats the user the zebra process is running as?
22:48 eythian $ ls -ld /var/lock/koha
22:48 drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4096 Dec 19 08:53 /var/lock/koha
22:48 but the zebra process should create the dirs as needed in there.
22:48 rangi yup, for the packages
22:48 Phlunk3 yeah I wont make them then
22:48 eythian it should end up looking like:
22:48 drwxr-xr-x 4 demo-koha        demo-koha        4096 May 21  2010 demo
22:48 underneath that
22:49 Phlunk3 sorry to ask stupid q, but how can I see who its running as?
22:49 it quites out when I run it lol
22:49 quits*
22:49 eythian how are you running it?
22:49 Phlunk3 Im not running it manually, its just from a koha install package, whatever it gets setup to do on boot.
22:50 eythian so, that uses an init script
22:50 Phlunk3 I believe I didn't make any changes to startup scripts etc
22:50 yeah
22:50 rangi packages from debian.koha-community.org eh?
22:50 Phlunk3 koha-common I presume
22:50 eythian yeah
22:50 rangi yup
22:50 Phlunk3 1 moment Ill check
22:50 jcamins_away rangi: yeah.
22:50 eythian what about in /var/log/koha/libraryname/zebra*log
22:52 Phlunk3 same as I posted earlier?
22:52 rangi jcamins_away: so im trying to create authority files from a csv file
22:52 i have a column USEFOR
22:52 jcamins_away Oh, you poor, poor man.
22:52 Phlunk3 lol
22:52 rangi example LEADTERM=Accounting USEFOR=Bookkeeping
22:52 im thinking 150a and 450a respectively?
22:53 right track?
22:53 jcamins_away Yes.
22:53 rangi yay, cait was helping me
22:53 jcamins_away Your indicators will both be blank.
22:53 cait lol
22:53 Phlunk3 should any of the commands like koha-restart-zebra help me with making the log folder? or shall I just manually attempt it?
22:53 cait glad I got it right ;)
22:53 eythian Phlunk3: it should be there already
22:54 look in /var/log/koha
22:54 jcamins_away 008/09=a, 008/10=d, 008/11=z, 008/15=a, 008/17=a
22:54 Phlunk3 I dont have that either eyth
22:54 eythian how do you not?
22:55 Phlunk3 lol
22:55 eythian that's pretty strange
22:55 Phlunk3 lemme check
22:55 wait
22:55 ofc I do :P
22:55 wrong vps
22:55 eythian heh that won't help any :)
22:55 rangi jcamins_away: aahh ok :)
22:55 Phlunk3 koha-error-log is there, no errors recently for it.
22:56 same with koha-opac-error
22:56 eythian no
22:56 zebra-*
22:56 Phlunk3 yeah, I pasted those earlier sorry thought you'd seen, moment
22:56 zebra-error-log: http://pastebin.com/BkDEjtwN
22:57 rangi jcamins_away: i guess i just have to create the leader and 003 and 007 now
22:57 Phlunk3 output-log gives this every 30 seconds: 11:56:54-13/02 [fatal] lock file /var/lock/koha/mylibrary/biblios/zebrasrv.pid [No such file or directory]
22:57 rangi hmm
22:57 no
22:57 003
22:57 i dont think need 007
22:57 jcamins_away rangi: no 007.
22:57 rangi gah, this hurts my brain
22:58 thanks
22:58 jcamins_away The 003 is going to be the same for all of them.
22:58 rangi leader and 003 i can do
22:58 sweet
22:58 jcamins_away Just a code for the library.
22:58 rangi *nod*
22:58 eythian I wonder if you have an old version of the packages, I think the newer ones mkdir that.
22:58 cait you can do it :)
22:58 Phlunk3 Ill check what version it was.
22:58 it is quite old tbh needs updated
22:59 jcamins_away rangi: what's the story with bug 6431?
22:59 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6431 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, chris, NEW , New Circulation modules for Hourly Circulation
23:00 rangi ah they have been pulled into the main one already
23:00 jcamins_away all three patches apply without conflict.
23:00 rangi by colin
23:00 eythian In the short term, you can just mkdir them yourself, and chown them to koha-mylibrary
23:00 rangi yeah 5579 has them applied already
23:00 jcamins_away Okay, so, mark the bug RESOLVED-WONTFIX?
23:00 rangi yeah i think so
23:00 with a note, these are in 5579 already
23:01 jcamins_away Same deal for 6430?
23:02 bug 6430
23:02 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6430 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, kyle.m.hall, NEW , DB changes needed for Hourly Circulation
23:02 Phlunk3 have manually made them and will check out how it likes things now, thanks.
23:04 rangi i think so
23:04 jcamins_away Thanks.
23:08 rangi hmm so if USEFOR =450a i wonder what USEPREF should be
23:08 eg LEADTERM=Accountability USEPREF=Responsibility
23:08 jcamins_away Oh, I see.
23:09 That is 450 $aAccountability, 150 $aResponsibility.
23:09 Please don't gouge your eyes out!
23:09 cait uhoh
23:09 rangi eek
23:10 cait jcamins_away: you make his brain hurt!
23:10 jcamins_away cait: it makes my brain hurt, too!
23:10 cait perhaps my brain is too tired to hurt
23:11 jcamins_away lol
23:11 rangi ok, im gonna go get lunch and try again :)
23:11 thanks, makes sense, just hard to code
23:11 * eythian goes for lunch while my package build hopefully succeeds finally
23:11 Phlunk3 okay this seems like a db issue? wasnt sure. http://pastebin.com/AaWKahRi
23:11 jcamins_away Phlunk3: no, that's because you're missing the directories so that zebrasrv can start.
23:12 eythian that's not a db issue
23:12 it's...
23:12 what he said
23:12 jcamins_away mkdir /var/run/koha/mylibrary/
23:12 Phlunk3 ahh thanks
23:12 jcamins_away *sudo* mkdir ...
23:12 Phlunk3 who should own them?
23:15 jcamins_away Phlunk3: good question.
23:15 (one moment while I find out)
23:15 Phlunk3 gave them to mylibrary-koha and that fixed it
23:15 jcamins_away mylibrary-koha
23:15 Phlunk3 thanks jc and the lunchroom team.
23:15 okay seems we need to upgrade that system to a newer koha version
23:16 anyone knows where I can spitout current version via command line?
23:16 jcamins_away locate kohaversion.pl
23:17 Phlunk3 our $VERSION = '3.04.02.000';
23:17 isnt that really old?
23:17 jcamins_away Uhhh... yeah, it is.
23:17 Phlunk3 ffs I think someone has booted the wrong virtual machine
23:17 jcamins_away That is... 7 months out of date.
23:18 Phlunk3: if it makes you feel any better, I know of another library that did that, too.
23:18 Phlunk3 thx man lol

23:30 hephzibah I have just installed koha ils on my server
23:31 i will like to catalogue my books at the library into the software
23:32 how can i use a bar code reader to read  the book information to catalogue
23:32 jcamins_away hephzibah: I recommend you read the manual.
23:32 documentation?
23:32 wahanui somebody said documentation was at http://koha-community.org/documentation/
23:32 jcamins_away ^^ there.
23:32 wahanui ^^ there is that very good point
23:33 jcamins_away And... I guess that's all I had to say.
23:33 hephzibah joined #koha
23:33 jcamins_away hephzibah: the short answer is, you won't be able to just scan books in and have Koha catalog them for you.
23:34 You can use the Z39.50 feature to download records from the Library of Congress (for example), though.
