15:32 jcamins_away Think I can reproduce it?
15:32 It was quite a big problem back in 3.2.
15:32 But I haven't noticed it in a while.

15:43 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5328 critical, P5 - low, ---, kyle.m.hall, NEW , Patron Messaging Preferences Table Is Missing Checkboxes
15:43 cait oh
15:43 I thought that was fixe
15:43 d
15:43 give me a sec, I will look at it after 6735
15:43 jcamins cait: it works for me.
15:44 cait: but I want a second opinion, since I don't use that area much.
15:48 cait ok
15:48 i wil take a look :)
15:48 we should get some numbers
15:48 jcamins Numbers for what?
15:52 cait uhoh
15:52 like total bugs
15:52 before we sart
15:52 can you check something?
15:52 I activated enhancedmessaging
15:52 searched for a patron
15:52 and clicked on the edit link for the enh messaging table
15:52 and I see the heading, but not the table, nothing
15:53 jcamins Uh-oh.
15:54 Yikes!
15:54 Same thing here.
15:54 cait ok
15:54 hey, it can be reproduced
15:54 that's good at least
15:54 jcamins :/
15:54 cait it works from the detail page with all fields for me
15:54 so what's going wrong here hm
15:55 I see no errors in the log or in javascript
16:01 jcamins: any ideas?
16:01 wahanui any ideas are welcome :)
16:01 jcamins cait: none. :(
16:03 cait ok
16:03 I have filed 7558
16:03 now going to look at the messaging problem
16:04 jcamins FTR, it's a miracle memberentry.pl works at all.
16:04 I can't follow the code at all.
16:08 cait yeah
16:08 it needs a rewrite
16:08 adnc joined #koha
16:08 cait it#s also horrible to translate
16:08 lots of combined strings
16:08 does not make any sense at all with different grammar
16:08 I am checking git for recent changes
16:13 I am not spotting it
16:16 jcamins: have you figured out what opadd is?
16:20 :(
16:20 even if I set all the if to 1 it's still not showing up
16:21 janPasi translating koha is really... hmm... interesting
16:21 though i haven't actually traslated anything in 3.x series
16:21 cait what is your problem janPasi?
16:21 janPasi it was the older koha with nelsonville templates
16:22 numerous :D
16:22 cait start withone?
16:22 janPasi english really doesn't translate well to finnish
16:22 from and to
16:22 we express it completely differently
16:22 we don't have anything that even close resembles the words from and to
16:23 because we use cases for that
16:23 which means suffixing words (or rather word-bodies) with the suffix on the case in question
16:24 but that's not specifically a problem with koha
16:24 it's a problem with any software translation
16:26 so the way you would even begin translating words like that would depend highly on the context
16:26 which isn't always clear in koha or other software
16:26 cait i understand
16:26 not sure how to resolve this .(
16:26 janPasi me neither :D
16:26 don't worry, it's not your fault ;D
16:26 cait you could start with a bug, explainign the problem and perhaps suggesting how it shoudl be built to make it easier
16:27 mbalmer perkileinen!
16:27 janPasi mbalmer: that doesn't really mean anything ;D
16:27 perkeleinen would mean a small perkele
16:27 mbalmer but it sounds finnish, you must admit that ;)
16:27 janPasi a diminutive swearword
16:27 mbalmer yes.
16:27 janPasi it's cute really :D
16:28 mbalmer it's used in the BSD community, or at least some
16:28 janPasi perkeleellinen would mean something like hellish
16:29 well, like i said
16:30 i haven't tried translating 3.x koha versions
16:30 so i can't really tell much about the problems with that
16:31 mbalmer janPasi, the words comes from Elaekeleiset, iirc
16:31 janPasi that's also wrong ;)
16:32 you can't substitute ä with ae in finnish
16:32 mbalmer Eläkeleiset, then ;)
16:32 janPasi yeah, that's correct :)
16:32 well almost, it's Eläkeläiset
16:33 mbalmer perfectionist ;)
16:33 janPasi :D
16:33 well can and cat are two different things, aren't they ;)
16:33 as are cat and cut
16:35 in the same way same way hänkö? = (s)he?
16:35 hanko = pitchfork
16:35 haenko? = shall i get?
16:36 Guillaume joined #koha
16:36 mbalmer haenko hanko?, shall I get a pitchfork?
16:37 janPasi almost, haenko hangon
16:37 would be correct :D
16:37 hangon = the whole pitchfork
16:39 the case in that is genitive
16:39 that's why it becomes hangon, instead of hanko
16:40 we have 13 cases
16:40 and then some that are limited
16:42 cait hah, take this you bug!
16:43 13!
16:43 and I thought russian was bad with
16:43 6
16:44 jcamins cait++
16:45 janPasi well, hungarian and estonian have more ;D
16:46 and if you use the wrong case, then the meaning changes (of course)
16:46 haenko hankoa? = am i searching for a pitchfork?
16:46 that would be partitive case
16:47 you sort of wish to see a part of the pirchfork in question ;D
16:49 pitchfork even
16:52 cait glad I never tried to learn finnish :)
16:52 jcamins: patch is ready for testing ;)
16:52 if you actually have time to take a look, plz check I didn't break the passwort thingy
16:52 jcamins bug 7559?
16:52 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7559 normal, P5 - low, ---, katrin.fischer, Needs Signoff , Edit links for patron attributes and messaging preferences are broken
16:53 cait gonna look at 7558 next
16:53 bug 7558
16:53 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7558 normal, P5 - low, ---, katrin.fischer, NEW , Serial issue note doubled up in full history
16:53 jcamins You mean the new default password thing, right?
16:56 janPasi cait: well... it's slightly different, that's for sure :D
16:57 cait jcamins: right :)
16:57 janPasi: I already thought everyone trying to learn german is insane... now I think perhpas learning finnish is worse :)
16:57 luisb joined #koha
16:58 janPasi that probably depends where you originally come from
16:58 and what is your native language
16:58 but yeah, finnish is notoriously difficult for most europeans
16:59 italians pick up the pronunciation immediately, though
16:59 they produce flawless finnish in no time at all
16:59 but i think the case-system is just as difficult for them as it is to other europeans
17:00 in addition, there are other things you need to worry about
17:00 like the vowel-harmony
17:00 jcamins That's what scared me off Hungarian.
17:01 janPasi i love the sound of hungarian
17:01 it's one of my favourite languages, definitely
17:01 though i don't speak a word of it :D
17:03 jcamins How does the auto-password thing work?
17:03 cait jcamins: not sure :P
17:03 jcamins cait: I can't figure it out.
17:03 cait hm
17:03 let me see
17:03 janPasi: :)
17:04 jcamins: the link looks a bit weird to me
17:04 I am looking at th eform that you reach from the toolbar
17:04 jcamins Ah.
17:04 * jcamins didn't expect it to be there.
17:04 cait it doesn't look right I think
17:04 and my entry is not masked?
17:05 jcamins It's not supposed to be masked.
17:05 cait ah ok
17:05 jcamins I think it works "properly."
17:05 cait but why have 2 field sthen?
17:05 I think it works nicely in the patron edit form
17:05 but the change password screen from the toolbar looks kinda wrong
17:05 hm should make a mental note to ask owen about it
17:06 jcamins cait: because you can also specify a password yourself.
17:06 cait yes, but the link still looks wrong
17:06 jcamins It does, but it looks like that with or without the patch.
17:08 cait yep
17:08 didn't touch that part
17:08 janPasi how many tables are there in koha database?
17:08 cait hm around 130 I think
17:08 jcamins janPasi: 134.
17:08 cait :)
17:09 janPasi that's a lot :D
17:09 cait it could be worse :)
17:09 do you have a specific question?
17:10 jcamins Why aren't I making biscuits right now?
17:10 cait because we distracted you
17:10 jcamins So you did.
17:10 Shame on you.
17:12 janPasi specific question, me?
17:12 errm... no, not really
17:13 not at the moment anyway
17:13 jcamins Also, why isn't the cinnamon bread done? :(
17:14 janPasi i just thought i'd comment the translation thingy
17:14 since i've been doing something with it
17:20 cait not even the cinnamon bread!
17:20 jcamins cait: no!
17:22 cait scandalous!
17:25 jcamins Now it's done.
17:25 And delicious.
17:26 cait yum
17:28 janPasi hmm
17:29 what kind of bread is cinnamon bread?
17:29 it it sweet?
17:29 is it, even
17:29 or salty bread with cinnamon?
17:32 jcamins Sweet.
17:32 I made...
17:32 janPasi ok, i see :)
17:32 jcamins This: http://budgetbytes.blogspot.co[…]24-recipe-10.html
17:32 Well, except no raisins.
17:32 janPasi i see
17:33 jcamins And a mixture of flours.
17:33 janPasi looks nice
17:33 jcamins And some milk to replace some of the water.
17:33 janPasi so it's like that, but nothing at all like that :D
17:34 jcamins Now you got it. :)
17:34 Biscuit time.
17:34 * jcamins goes forth to make mozzarella-hot pepper biscuits.

19:01 Actually, I think that's about it.
19:01 cait oooh

20:29 rangi ahh for publisher too? sweet as
20:29 cool thanks
20:29 and last one, is series
20:29 jcamins Series is trickier.
20:30 Probably 130/430/530, but it's also possible to have a series under x00 or x10.
20:31 rangi hmm yeah
20:31 ill go for the 130 ones
20:31 the nice thing is, no sees (from or also in these ones)

21:20 Space_Librarian nicely put!
21:20 jcamins :)
21:20 Very nice.
21:29 mbalmer evening.  or should I say "night" ;)
21:39 eythian I just got a spam that I think was a stock pumping one under the guise of someone looking for a job. It was quite odd.
21:42 Space_Librarian sounds odd indeed
21:42 jcamins "If you give me a job I'll give you a can't-miss stock tip"?
21:44 eythian No, "I'm looking for a job. As well as being a web designer, I also look at the stock market and recently bought shares in XXXX at $1/share. [snip a paragraph about why that's a good investment] I also like to cook, and my favourite dish is...."
21:44 jcamins lol
21:46 Space_Librarian inventive
21:47 cjh heh
21:47 jcamins cjh: how goes the testing of 7284? Did you see I rebased?
22:02 eythian http://www.debian.org/legal/patent <-- interesting
22:03 especially point 3, which is an aspect I'd never thought of but makes a lot of sense
22:03 jcamins YUP.
22:03 Sorry about the caps.
22:03 eythian I just thought you were excited about it.
22:03 jcamins lol
22:06 rangi speaking of which
22:06 jcamins Exciting things like bug 7284? :)
22:06 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7284 major, P3, ---, jcamins, Needs Signoff , Authority matching algorithm improvements
22:07 rangi we should really upgrade our distribution to gpl v3 or later
22:07 cjh jcamins: havent looked at your new rebase, after dealing with the zebra reindexing issue it seemed atleast as good as the old script for the data i was using, will test some more a little later
22:07 jcamins :)
22:08 rangi all the debain/scripts/* already are so technically we need to either strip them
22:08 or release as gplv3
22:08 jcamins cjh: if you wanted to note that on the bug, that'd be great.
22:08 Sign off also much-appreciated. :)
22:08 eythian rangi: well, it basically means that the distribution is GPL3 unless you strip out those scripts, as the GPL2 stuff will auto-upgrade.
22:09 rangi thats what i mean
22:09 eythian oh OK
22:09 rangi but our LICENSE file is gpl2
22:09 ie, we are doing it wrong :)
22:09 luisb joined #koha
22:10 rangi or at least confusingly
22:10 maybe ill put it on the agenda for next irc meeting
22:51 cait joined #koha
22:52 cait left #koha
22:57 eythian http://i.imgur.com/aRMcz.png
22:58 jcamins eythian: lol
22:58 * jcamins needed that.
23:06 Space_Librarian rangi, I see your rant didn't even make it to today's digest
23:07 rangi yeah it must be in moderation queue
23:07 or just thrown on the floor
23:42 luisb joined #koha
