05:48 mveron joined #koha
05:48 vinod joined #koha
05:48 mveron Good morning #koha
05:49 vinod hello all koha users
05:49 cait guten morgen mveron :)
05:50 vinod i am facing problem in import all data is imported successfully but call number does not shows
05:51 but call number shows in marc format and other detail views
05:51 cait where did you store the call number?
05:51 and did you import items?
05:51 vinod 082 $a and $b yes everything
05:51 cait 082$b is not shown
05:52 you have to add the callnumbers to your items in 952
05:52 rangi Needs to be on 952$o
05:52 cait right $o :)
05:52 rangi I think someone answered your email
05:52 cait evening rangi
05:52 vinod yes it is also automatically added
05:52 wahanui okay, vinod.
05:52 cait vinod: Koha does not show call numbers in the record, only in the items
05:53 rangi You added it to 952?
05:53 cait wahanui forget yes it
05:53 wahanui cait: I forgot yes it
05:54 rangi It won't automatically add it
05:54 vinod during import i had given 082 field but it automatically takes in 952 $o also
05:54 rangi What does?
05:54 wahanui i guess does is calculate the discount on this price or the tax is removed before to calculte the discount on the price before taxes?
05:54 rangi Koha doesn't
05:55 mtj cait:  done :)
05:55 vinod when i tried to manually edit the item record, it was already call number was already there and after saving that shows the call number in opac also
05:55 rangi Ok my bus stop bbl
05:56 vinod please tell me what to do
05:57 cait vinod: it only does that automatically when you use the cataloguing module
05:57 and add new items
05:57 when you import data
05:57 you have to have the infrmation in the right fields already
05:58 vinod: when you edit an item, koha will check for 082 to present you with a suggestion for your callnumber, this is controlled by the itemcallnumber system preference - but it's only because you opened the item for editing.
05:58 thx mtj :)
05:58 mtj++
05:59 vinod ok than what to do so that imported items can be viewed directly
05:59 mtj cait++ too
06:01 mveron_ joined #koha
06:02 cait vinod: put the callnumber in 952$o as rangi suggested
06:02 and then import them again
06:02 or if you are good with sql you can also populate items.itemcallnumber and run a full reindex
06:04 vinod1 joined #koha
06:05 vinod1 please let me know how to add full call number in 952 $o field at the tie of bulk importing\
06:06 francharb joined #koha
06:07 francharb good morning
06:09 vinod1 after importing bulk data, opac does not shows full call number in table form but it shows in marc format
06:12 hello anybody help please
06:14 mtj vinod1:  use marcedit, or (my favourite) a perl script
06:14 heya francharb
06:14 wahanui francharb falls asleep easily at sea.  Don't believe me?  Just ask Brooke.
06:15 mtj ok, off for a bit...
06:15 vinod1 so do i need to add call number in 952 field also
06:15 before importing the data
06:15 mtj wahanui: dude, i know... i was sitting next to him :)
06:15 wahanui mtj: excuse me?
06:17 mtj elephanta island... was a great day!
06:17 alex_a bonjour #koha
06:17 cait hi alex_a
06:17 vinod1: yes
06:18 mtj vinod1:  yes, add callnumber-info to 952$o subfield... before import into Koha
06:19 vinod1 i have data in 082 $a and $b field please let me know in which format tags showl i add call number in 952
06:20 mtj vinod1: 952$o
06:20 @marc 952o
06:20 huginn` mtj: unknown tag 952o
06:20 vinod1 in 952 only one field is there how can i add two fields as in 082
06:20 francharb 0/ mtj
06:21 mtj @marc 952$o
06:21 huginn` mtj: unknown tag 952$o
06:21 mtj @marc 245a
06:21 huginn` mtj: unknown tag 245a
06:21 mtj @marc 245$a
06:21 huginn` mtj: unknown tag 245$a
06:22 mtj hmm, i'm not having much luck with the MARC plugin :)
06:22 @marc 245
06:22 huginn` mtj: 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]
06:23 mtj aaah, it wants a space ' '
06:23 vinod1 952$o is a full call number field so how can i use 082$a and $b in single 952$o
06:23 mtj @marc 952 o
06:23 huginn` mtj: unknown field/subfield combination (952/o)
06:23 mtj i always forget that... :/
06:24 vinod1: i have never used marcedit... so i would use a perl script - for that
06:25 a perl script to manipulate for bib records... before import into Koha
06:25 cait vinod1: you have to combine both fields into one 952$b
06:25 mtj s/for/your/
06:26 ok, gotta scoot now....
06:26 ciao #koha
06:26 cait bye mtj
06:27 vinod1 means something like 952 $o500  KNM
06:27 082$a 500$bKNM
06:28 magnuse kia ora #koha!
06:28 vinod1 is there any way so that 952$o field should automatically pick data from 082 at the time of importing?
06:29 cait welcome back magnuse :)
06:29 magnuse thanks cait
06:31 vinod1 is there any way so that 952$o field should automatically pick data from 082 at the time of importing?
06:34 cait no
06:36 vinod1 =952  \\$aMAIN$bMAIN$p1000$yBK
06:36 =952  \\$aMAIN$bMAIN$p663$yBK
06:36 =082  \\$a621.3$bKNO
06:36 please tell me how can i add the call number in above items

07:31 magnuse hiya samuel
07:31 paul_p hello kf & magnuse & samuel
07:32 kf hi magnuse, samuel and paul_p :)
07:32 magnuse bonjour paul_p
07:33 * kf wonders how to translate 'item floats'
07:35 samuel kf: in which language do you want to translate "item floats"?
07:36 asaurat kf: Freizugigkeitsbescheinigung
07:37 kf samuel: German - it's ok
07:37 I opted for describing it
07:37 "item stays where it was returned"
07:37 samuel yeah, sounds good
07:37 kf asaurat: Wildschwein? :)
07:38 asaurat ok, these are my two favorite words in German :D
07:38 samuel :-)
07:39 kf :D
07:40 esofiane Hi everybody
07:41 kf hi esofiane
07:42 rangi paul_p: i am now
07:42 paul_p rangi wonderful !
07:43 so, my question was to know how you did the releases
07:43 (+ you wanted to speak of something yesterday)
07:45 rangi the hard bit is writing the release notes
07:46 to roll the release i did
07:49 perl Makefile.PL
07:49 make
07:50 make manifest tardist
07:50 then you end up with a tar.gz
07:51 paul_p rangi about the release notes, I agree it's a big deal. I've started already, and will submit something before the release, for proof reading and/or comments
07:51 rangi but with git you can do
07:53 git archive --format=tar --prefix=koha-3.8.0/ master | gzip > koha-3.8.0.tar.gz
07:53 gpg -sb koha-3.8.0.tar.gz
07:55 md5sum koha-3.8.0.tar.gz > koha-3.8.0.tar.gz.MD5
07:56 gpg --clearsign  koha-3.8.0.tar.gz.MD5
07:57 you also want to tag it in git
07:57 with git tag annotate
07:57 and branch too
07:58 paul_p tagging & branching, I was aware. I discover (and carefully write) the make manifest tardist & git archive !
07:59 rangi what i did was make the tarball
07:59 then install it in a vm
08:00 to make sure it worked, before i brnached, tagged, and signed it etc
08:03 kf 12933 words need attention *sigh*
08:03 magnuse 34383 words need attention *2x sigh*
08:04 rangi heh
08:04 kf magnuse: ok, you win :)
08:05 magnuse or loose...
08:06 kf is that bokmal only=
08:06 magnuse but *a lot* of it is fuzzy strings that can just be ok'd :-)
08:06 kf ?
08:06 magnuse kf: yup
08:06 kf ouch
08:06 magnuse i try not to think about nynorsk at all
08:06 kf does it work?
08:06 magnuse not thinking about it?
08:09 or ok'ing?
08:19 kf not thinking about it :)
08:19 magnuse yeah, that works really well
08:20 i don't know nynorsk wel enough to do anything about it anyway...

10:59 drojf ok thanks
10:59 slef drojf: as long as it needs to be to get passed by a reviewer
10:59 drojf :)
10:59 slef drojf: kf, Brooke or rangi might have tips.
10:59 we have had one abstract that looked like it could be the entire talk so far!
10:59 drojf heh
11:00 kf ;)
11:00 drojf no idea if i will be allowed to come to kohacon, the person in charge is gone until next week. but i still have some hope

12:24 wahanui yeah, yeah, hello, hello. Now fix some bugs for me, please.
12:24 paul_p good morning oleonard
12:25 samuel i've the following error "Can't locate Log/Log Lite.pm in @INC" with sudoc loader: i think it's a problem with a missing perl module but which?
12:26 kf hi oleonard
12:26 samuel: not sure what the sudoc loader is?
12:26 magnuse samuel: my guess: Log::LogLite
12:27 samuel it is for french universities
12:28 kf ah, right
12:28 not sure then
12:29 samuel a bit long to explain.
12:30 kf it's ok, I work for bsz - we also have pica as software for our union catalog
12:30 I think i have an idea what it does :)
12:31 oleonard samuel: That's an error you're getting from Koha?
12:35 samuel yes and i've now another problem with the module "Log:: LogLite" when i want to make the install
12:35 make test PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-Iblib/lib" "-Iblib/arch" test.pl 1..6 Can't locate IO/LockedFile.pm in @INC (@INC contains: blib/lib blib/arch /usr/share/perl/5.10 /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at blib/lib/Log/Log
12:35 tcohen joined #koha
12:38 oleonard I don't find any reference to "LogLite" in Koha code
12:40 samuel this is the link of the tool which would be useful for us http://git.biblibre.com/?p=sudoc.git;a=summary
12:41 * oleonard passes the conversation to paul_p
12:41 slef package found: libio-lockedfile-perl - IO::LockedFile Class - supply object methods for locking files
12:41 package found: liblog-loglite-perl - Perl module that facilitates lightweight logging

13:53 benjix how to get it installed back is the major problem
13:55 oleonard benjix: If Apache is not installed I suggest you search for instructions on how to install Apache on opensuse. We're not experts on that.

16:31 nengard oleonard around?
16:31 oleonard Yes
16:32 nengard you got the offline circ ff plugin to work right?
16:33 would you mind giving me some tips? cause it's still not working for me and i need to document it and write the help file
16:33 oleonard What's not working?
16:34 nengard i put a barcode in the checkin and it doesn't save or go in the log - i do the same on checkout and it doesn't save or go in the log
16:35 basically it doesn't do anything
16:35 jwagner nengard, see my update on Bug 7524 -- same problem, there are underlying errors
16:35 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7524 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, kyle.m.hall, NEW , Make it possible to generate a .koc file using the Firefox KOCT plugin
16:35 nengard does the server field need an http://
16:35 hmmm
16:35 oleonard In mine it has it nengard
16:35 nengard k
16:35 i'll try that
16:35 once i get FF to retart
16:36 it crashed
16:36 * wizzyrea retarts firefox all the time, the little web vixen.
16:36 nengard grrrr lost everything i had open :(
16:36 oleonard My problem is usually not getting it to restart but getting it to stop altogether when I want it to
16:37 jcamins I think I'll continue using Chrome.
16:37 (not for offline circ, just generally)
16:38 wizzyrea: how do you end up with a gazillion tabs if you're always restarting the browser?
16:38 oleonard Session restore?
16:38 wizzyrea re-tart not restart
16:38 jcamins lol
16:38 * wizzyrea made a funny that wasn't funny.
16:38 jcamins I missed that.
16:39 wizzyrea plus, I use chrome P
16:39 :P
16:41 slef mmmm... apple retarts
16:41 wizzyrea :)
16:41 slef wizzyrea: do you hate freedom? ;)
16:41 wizzyrea do you?
16:42 slef well I have chromium installed but I only use it for video
16:42 wizzyrea admittedly, I don't eat fries, french or otherwise.
16:42 oh oh
16:42 slef its user interface makes me want to kill its makers
16:42 wizzyrea that freedom.
16:42 * wizzyrea uses chromium on linux, chrome on mac
16:42 slef it's missing features and there are next to no add-ons
16:42 wizzyrea hmm
16:43 slef it's very hard to stop it leaking all your data to google and websites
16:43 jcamins wizzyrea: not even sweet potato fries?
16:43 wizzyrea well ok, sometimes those.
16:43 nengard joined #koha
16:43 oleonard Mmmm... french fries...
16:44 jcamins wizzyrea: I thought so. Who can resist sweet potato fries?
16:44 slef I think bad browsers like chrome is why we now have cookielaw.org
16:44 jcamins No one, that's who!
16:44 * oleonard checks the clock for proximity to lunch time
16:44 wizzyrea oleonard: I think it's past lunch time in your timezone
16:44 oleonard 1PM for me
16:44 wizzyrea ah so
16:44 slef *** Time by oleonard is Friday, April 13, 2012 12:44:22 PM
16:44 :) love ctcp
16:45 nengard k - whole computer crashed
16:46 i think it's time for lunch - then i'll try this ff plugin thing again
16:46 worst case i don't write a help file for it yet
16:46 * oleonard is now getting "authentication failed" from the KOCT
16:47 * wizzyrea will try it
16:48 nengard_lunch that's more than i got
16:48 i was gonna record it but then my computer crashed
16:48 really going to lunch now :) hehe
16:51 * oleonard gets nothing in the KOCT log when using it in Ubuntu
16:52 cait joined #koha
16:53 wizzyrea well I got it to work on ff on mac
16:53 but what's the difference between "apply directly" and "commit to koha"
16:54 commit to koha gives "success" and apply directly, if you haven't committed first, gives "added"
16:54 it would not do a renewal
16:55 check in seems to work ok
16:55 of course, you miss the "hold found" messages
16:55 if you check in one that's on hold for someone else
16:55 * wizzyrea double checks that
16:56 wizzyrea right. No hold found messages are processed anywhere. that's a bit of a bug I think.
16:56 at least you need to get a report out that says "hey you, double check this item"
16:57 jcamins wizzyrea: you mean for all check-ins?
16:57 wizzyrea for koct checkins
16:58 jcamins wizzyrea: right, I meant, all check-ins done using the KOCT plugin.
16:58 wizzyrea right
16:58 cait hi all
16:58 :)
16:58 wizzyrea hi cait :)
17:12 YoungPublicLibrarian joined #koha
17:13 YoungPublicLibrarian Quick (hopefully) Question: How do you create a borrowers.db file to use with the Koha Offline Circulation tool?
17:14 cait YoungPublicLibrarian: I think you need to run a script on command line for that
17:14 I have never tried it out so far :(
17:14 wizzyrea it's in misc/cronjobs I think
17:14 create_koc_db.pl
17:15 YoungPublicLibrarian misc/cronjobs? I don't know what that means...:(
17:16 jcamins That's where the file is.
17:17 You'll probably need libeo to set it up for you.
17:18 YoungPublicLibrarian lol, maybe I should stop asking. Considering I haven't the slightest clue what libeo is either...
17:18 jcamins YoungPublicLibrarian: who is your support vendor?
17:18 YoungPublicLibrarian: I meant your support vendor, whoever they are.
17:19 I thought I remembered hearing that they won an award for their work with you. :)
17:19 I also thought I remembered hearing that a support vendor called "Libeo" won an award.
17:19 I combined the two to conclude that you worked with a vendor called Libeo. ;)
17:21 YoungPublicLibrarian Ah! Bywater Solutions is our vendor...
17:21 sekjal joined #koha
17:21 jcamins YoungPublicLibrarian: whoops... got you confused with a different library, I think. You're not located in Quebec, are you?
17:22 YoungPublicLibrarian: ByWater can generate the offline circulation database for you.
17:22 wizzyrea remember that it's always a skosh out of date
17:22 ad you'll have to remember to download it *before* you go offline
17:22 jcamins Sometimes more than a skosh.
17:22 wizzyrea otherwise it's no use to you
17:22 or of less use.
17:25 YoungPublicLibrarian Ah okay. Well we haven't actually went live yet. But our old system is crashing and the director wanted to use the offline tool until our Koha system went live...
17:26 jcamins YoungPublicLibrarian: you'd need to talk to ByWater about that... I don't it'd work unless you made your old system entirely read-only until go-live.
17:28 YoungPublicLibrarian Hmm...from what the director said ByWater suggested using it. Our old system is Voyager...
17:28 wizzyrea and it won't process renewals or fill holds. How long are we talking about
17:28 jcamins YoungPublicLibrarian: well, you'll definitely need to talk to ByWater.
17:29 YoungPublicLibrarian Wizzyrea: We go live on the 23rd of April
17:29 Jcamins: Okay, thanks for all the information!
17:29 wizzyrea a week would be a long time on offline circ
17:30 jcamins I wouldn't want to use offline circ as a stopgap for more than a few days, because you won't be able to handle renewals or holds, and if ByWater doesn't have a completely current dump of your Voyager database, it'll get very, very confused.
17:30 wizzyrea right, and no adding patrons, no deleting patrons
17:30 jcamins No collecting fines.
17:31 Probably no reshelving, due to the holds issue.
17:31 wizzyrea in some ways it might be better to just use a spreadsheet, and track cards/items that way
17:31 jcamins ^^
17:31 wizzyrea and track renewals in a separate file
17:31 and checkins
17:31 because then, when you go back and put the data in on your live system
17:31 YoungPublicLibrarian I thought you could use the offline circ for collecting fines?
17:31 wizzyrea all of the usual things happen.
17:31 * wizzyrea was just looking at it
17:32 wizzyrea I saw no place to collect fines.
17:32 at least not using the firefox addon
17:32 YoungPublicLibrarian Ah, no ByWater told us never to use the firefox addon because it was broke. They have a downloadable tool that we install on the computer and use as an application...
17:33 wizzyrea do note, we have 40 libraries, and we use a spreadsheet.
17:33 YoungPublicLibrarian We have over 70 libraries...but I'm sure we could manage it...
17:34 wizzyrea i haven't used the app one lately, last time I tested it, it was broken in ways that made me not want to use it.
17:35 but that has been a while
17:35 jcamins YoungPublicLibrarian: even if that supports fine collection, the reason I had in mind that you couldn't collect fines was that until ByWater gets the final dump from your Voyager database, the fine information in Koha will be unreliable.
17:35 wizzyrea: looks like it was last updated in October 2010.
17:35 wizzyrea not to mention not updating
17:35 YoungPublicLibrarian Here is the link that ByWater provided us: http://millruntech.com/downloa[…]ulation-1-2-setup
17:35 wizzyrea sounds like a mess
17:35 yep, that's the version I last tested.
17:36 YoungPublicLibrarian Yeah, a mess sums up the entire situation! :/
17:36 Wizzyrea and Jcamins: Thanks for all the help! At least I understand a bit more than I did before!
17:37 wizzyrea I don't mean to sound negative - I don
17:37 really don't
17:37 it's just - a week is a long time, you probably have pretty high volume
17:37 no renewals, no holds processed, no fines processed (or it would be very messy if it was)
17:37 jcamins YoungPublicLibrarian: you might try using Voyager's offline circ, then shut down the OPAC a day early, and spend that day replaying the circs so that you can give ByWater a current dump?
17:37 * jcamins hasn't tried that.
17:38 jcamins And I have no idea how long replaying offline circs takes in Voyager.
17:38 wizzyrea jcamins: I think their server is like, deaths door crashing
17:38 jcamins wizzyrea: right, so it only has to be up for one day.
17:38 YoungPublicLibrarian ^^ Exactly!
17:38 We haven't been able to catalogue in almost three weeks! :(
17:39 wizzyrea yikes.
17:39 jcamins I think spreadsheets are the way to go.
17:40 A week is a *long* time, though.
17:42 YoungPublicLibrarian And very few people in at least half the libraries in our system have any decent understanding of spreadsheets...:S
17:42 wizzyrea here's what we do
17:42 column A: patron
17:42 column b: book barcode
17:42 returns can go in column d or e or f or wherever
17:43 then, when you are ready to replay them, you grab a page
17:43 and go at it, copy/paste style.
17:43 it's tedious.
17:43 it'll take a while
17:43 but it will work
17:43 and you won't miss things.
17:43 cait hm
17:43 you could also use 2 text files
17:43 one for returns and one for checouts
17:43 wizzyrea that has been done too
17:43 cait and scan the barcodes in there
17:44 wizzyrea we like spreadsheets because the data is segregated
17:44 cait but always be careful... whatever you use
17:44 wizzyrea yea, no crazy scanning.
17:44 go slowly, be aware.
17:44 like riding a motorcycle.
17:44 responsibly.
17:45 Oak joined #koha
17:45 YoungPublicLibrarian It would take me 10 minutes to explain how to set up and use just the columns to most of the people in my library alone...
17:47 jcamins YoungPublicLibrarian: I don't think the offline circ option would be *easier*.
17:47 wizzyrea well, you've got two options - get the data and processes right, or use the offline circ
17:47 and really, confusion wise
17:47 they're about equal.
17:47 jcamins Except some people will know how to use spreadsheets.
17:47 wizzyrea and no one will know how to use offline circ.
17:47 jcamins Right.
17:49 thatchmo joined #koha
17:50 talljoy_away YoungPublicLibrarian: hi!  if you plan to use the offline circ tool, you will need a borrowers.db file and that can be given to you before your official go live date.
17:51 jcamins YoungPublicLibrarian: here's a suggestion: you have highschoolers as pages in a bunch of your libraries, right?
17:51 They're probably there during your peak periods.
17:51 Have them at the circ desks.
17:51 talljoy_away ha! more tech savvy than their elders often!
17:52 wizzyrea at least trained in excel.
17:52 jcamins talljoy_away: most of them will be able to figure out Excel, at least.
17:52 Increasingly, using spreadsheets is a skill taught in highschool.
17:52 Maybe even elementary or middle school, though I don't know anyone who has been to either of those recently.
17:52 talljoy my 8 year old knows spreadsheets better than me.  lol
17:53 jcamins There you go.
17:53 talljoy had to create graphs for his science project.  he had to teach me.
17:53 jcamins YoungPublicLibrarian: make the next week "bring your child to work week."
17:53 talljoy LOL
17:56 jcamins I am not entirely joking.
18:02 YoungPublicLibrarian That's not a bad idea...except it would be bring your "grand child" to work week! And only our school libraries have high schoolers for pages...Which is only about a third of our system...
18:03 jcamins YoungPublicLibrarian: who do you have for pages in your public libraries?
18:03 druthb joined #koha
18:04 druthb o/
18:04 talljoy hi druthb!
18:04 thatchmo left #koha
18:07 YoungPublicLibrarian We don't...there are cataloguers and circulation assistants...most of our libraries do not use pages...
18:08 jcamins YoungPublicLibrarian: and the circ assistants do shelving?
18:10 * druthb catches up from the logs.
18:10 druthb jcamins, wizzyrea, talljoy:  Part of the problem with using Voyager offline circ, as I understand it from George at Latah, is that it only does checkouts--not checkins.  *INSANE*
18:11 jcamins druthb: yeah, but they can't reshelve anything anyway.
18:11 talljoy right, i guess i was referring to the offline Koha circulation.
18:11 jcamins druthb: because the Koha offline circ won't catch holds anyway.
18:12 talljoy right.  and no fines
18:12 * druthb nods
18:12 YoungPublicLibrarian yes, circ assistants do shelving, circ desk, computer support, and anything else needed in the library....
18:14 druthb YoungPublicLibrarian: you're using Mibbit to chat with us in here, aren't you?  Look up there^^^  there's *at least* one box flashing, indicating private messages for you.  :)
18:16 YoungPublicLibrarian druthb: LOL! Why yes I am! But they aren't flashing, just grey tabs showed up...and I was completely oblivious to them!
18:16 druthb :)
18:16 talljoy :-D
18:17 * druthb can't hardly use Mibbit--the message boxes are a little *too* unobtrusive;  I have my Pidgin set to scream like a banshee when someone PMs me.
18:18 talljoy my pings and pings and pings all day.  whenever you say my name!  heh
18:19 oleonard Everyone be considerate to talljoy and only say talljoy's name when you really have something to say to talljoy
18:19 talljoy lol
18:19 ping ping
18:19 ping
18:19 druthb oleonard: That talljoy is pretty darn amazing, isn't she?
18:19 jcamins oleonard: stop picking on talljoy.
18:19 talljoy talljoy?
18:19 wahanui I CRUNCH DATA or kicking butt at words with friends
18:19 talljoy may need to update that to "enjoys seeing her name in lights"  lol
18:19 cait hehe
18:20 * jcamins uses irssi, the ultimate in unobtrusive messaging.
18:23 nengard i think i'm done with the help files
18:23 at the very least all the links to the manual are updated
18:24 we might need some new help files ? hopefully not
18:34 jcamins nengard: I bet you could write a unit test for xt/ that would check automatically that everything had a help file.
18:34 nengard maybe someone could :) not sure if I could
18:34 jcamins It would also force people to provde help files when they add new features.
18:39 nengard what field populates the biblio.copyrightdate field?
18:39 the 008 or the 260?
18:42 jcamins?
18:42 wahanui somebody said jcamins was an outstanding cook, well-traveled and brilliant, trying to think of a solution, or the wizard that forges queries in the deep fires of zebra
18:43 nengard hehe
18:43 cait 260
18:43 you cna only map fields
18:43 nengard thanks cait
18:43 cait not controlfields
18:43 you can see it in the koha-to-marc-mappings
18:43 jcamins Yes?
18:43 Oh.
18:47 nengard :)
18:53 jcamins We should put the items table on the MARC and Labelled MARC views in the staff client, now that it no longer shows up in the MARC.
19:03 oleonard OPACViewOthersSuggestions doesn't seem to be working as I imagine it should
19:04 If AnonSuggestions and OPACViewOthersSuggestions are both on shouldn't I be able to see all suggestions even if I'm not logged in?
19:04 And if AnonSuggestions is off, should I have to be logged in to view others' suggestions?
19:12 Ugh, it's a mess.
19:16 cait oleonard: agreed
19:16 but yeah, only works if you are logged in

19:31 druthb morning is also whenever the cat wants breakfast.
19:31 wahanui okay, druthb.
19:31 jcamins Morning
19:31 Morning?
19:31 wahanui i guess Morning is a state of mind. or whenever the cat wants breakfast.

21:32 form settings look OK
21:32 mailing them and grabbing times and IPs to message you
