00:14 * jcamins gazes in befuddlement at the subroutine he just discovered in C4::Circulation. sub TooMany.
00:20 rangi heh there be dragons
00:20 i think about 50 ppl have poked at that
00:21 jcamins And did anyone ever figure out what the sub's name referred to?
00:22 Myshkin suggests it's the number of times I try to use my computer when he's waiting for petting.
00:26 GetRecordValue = a sub to use to get something that is neither a value nor part of a record
00:34 rangi i think toomany issues of a given item
00:34 is what it used to do
00:34 jcamins Thankfully that's not code I need to look at, but I'm a little perplexed by what "too many issues" means.
00:46 melia left #koha
00:48 rangi checkouts in your parlance :)
00:54 jcamins rangi: I know what you mean by issues.
00:55 What I'm not sure of is too many in what context.
00:55 The item has been issued too many times, historically? The book has been issued too many times without being discharged?
00:58 Oh.
00:59 I'm tearing my hair out wondering why I keep on getting an error from MARC::Field::update.
00:59 It would be because there is no 942 field.
01:17 My favorite comment that I've seen today: # Otherwise, it'd need a POD.
01:19 The comment, by the way, is inaccurate.
01:19 POD is very much required.
01:26 papa joined #koha
01:46 rangi jcamins: this borrower has too many current issues of this type
01:49 jcamins rangi: ah.
01:49 Thanks.

06:24 vkm publication date range search is not working pls suggest
06:24 eythian vkm: it bases it on copyright date
06:26 vkm so how we should enter the record pls
06:26 in which tag
06:27 eythian I don't have the reference handy, but I think it maps to copydate or some such
06:28 cait vkm: one of the 00x
06:28 always forget which one
06:29 it's also used for publication date sorting
06:29 vkm i used only 260
06:30 260c marc
06:33 please suggest which other field shoul i use
06:33 Oak joined #koha
06:34 cait vkm: check the marc documentation
06:35 008
06:35 pos 7-10
06:35 http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd008a.html
06:35 you should use both
06:35 260 c is for display, 008 for search
06:36 vkm so same field 260c i can use in 008
06:36 eythian I often switch the search to 260c
06:36 vkm: not quite. You'll need to read the marc docs to see how it works.
06:37 cait vkm 008 is always a four digit year
06:37 in 260 c you can put whatever you like
06:37 eythian I really need to make my migration tools handle those weirdo fields.
06:37 They always annoy me.
06:37 cait like (c) 2010 or [2010] or whatever
06:39 reiveune joined #koha
06:39 reiveune hello
06:39 wahanui hey, reiveune
06:40 vkm so can i make one marc field like 008 //$2012, please advice
06:40 at the time of data import how to use 260c in 008
06:41 cait check the marc documentation
06:41 I can't tell you more than that
06:41 it's afield with with fixed length
06:41 008 //$2012 < wont't work
06:42 vkm yes i am not understanding 008 so i did not used it only i used Leader 000
06:43 cait take a look at the link I posted
06:43 I have to go now
06:44 vkm ok i am checking and understanding

07:43 kf oh
07:43 which framework are you using?
07:44 and did you change something in the koha-to-marc-mappings or indexing?
07:45 samuel no change
07:48 magnuse samuel: do you get that error when the cataloguing interface is displayed, or when you try to save a record?

08:03 samuel whatever the method (i've tried manually and by z39.50), it doesn 't work
08:04 kf and you are using the default framework?
08:05 samuel yes, we don't need fast cataloging
08:05 kf and it used to work before? in this installation?
08:05 samuel yes

12:53 * oleonard thinks he'll bug fix again today. It's just too much fun.
12:56 kf don't tempt me! :)
12:56 * oleonard throws his arms in the air and shouts Wheeeeeeee!!
12:57 kf meany
12:57 * sekjal has just written his first patch for a Dokuwiki plugin... not as much fun as patching Koha, to be sure
12:57 oleonard Why not sekjal?
12:58 sekjal I've gotten used to Perl... going back to PHP is less exciting for me
12:58 also, the feature I just added is... very very limited
12:58 not even necessarily a good idea

13:09 sekjal kf:  there is a plugin for Dokuwiki that will reformat a date string into "XX days since|until <somemessage>"
13:09 it's called Countdown
13:10 my feature is to just display the XX part, so you can do other math on the result
13:10 kf ah :)
13:10 sound snot too bad of a feature
13:10 I mean, doesn't sound like a bad idea :)
13:11 sekjal my first pass at it doesn't handle units other than days very well...
13:12 not sure if it's worth fixing or not
13:12 mostly I just want a way to highlight things that are going to expire "soon"

14:02 oleonard addbooks.pl requires "edit_catalogue" permission, but the template checks for "CAN_user_editcatalogue_edit_catalogue" in a couple of places. Is it just me or is that nonsensical?
14:03 tcohen joined #koha
14:03 oleonard If you "CAN'T_user_editcatalogue_edit_catalogue" you can't get to the page!
14:04 the follow-up question is: Shouldn't you be able to get to that page if you have edit_items permission?
14:06 hdl1 oleonard: druth: jcamins_away: is there any cronjob to regularly update/create patrons from an LDAP in the koha version ? Has there ever been any need for that ? We had... But we may be quite
14:06 unusual
14:07 * oleonard has no idea.
14:07 oleonard druthb I think is traveling back home today
14:07 Seems logical to me though
14:08 sekjal hdl1: would this be to pre-populate the Koha DB with users from the LDAP, before their first login to the OPAC?
14:11 hdl1 sekjal: yep
14:11 or to update accounts from LDAP regularly...
14:12 sekjal wouldn't work with auth_by_bind, since you wouldn't have the account passwords.
14:12 but if that's not a problem, I think it could be a pretty handy feature
14:12 I recall folks asking for something like that back in my support-vendor days
14:13 wizzyrea oleonard: I think the syspref is like, "asking a question" - can the user editcatalogue (major permission group) Edit the Catalogue (minor permission)
14:13 hdl1 sekjal: all you would need is a user with read access.
14:14 iirc we have that working with an auth_by_bind
14:15 oleonard I don't understand what you're getting at wizzyrea
14:15 kf oleonard++
14:15 sekjal hdl1:  it's possible, if the LDAP had such a user.  my experience tends to be with Active Directory connections, which don't like doing that
14:16 wizzyrea it's ok, i'm probably not making sense.
14:16 also, good morning
14:18 hdl1 mmm could be.
14:19 oleonard Am I correct that this syntax will give access to users with either one or the other permission?
14:19 flagsrequired   => { editcatalogue => 'edit_catalogue', editcatalogue => 'edit_items' },
14:19 Seems to be the case based on my test but I wanted to make sure
14:23 hdl joined #koha

15:29 oleonard Did you figure out what you needed to know about putting an item edit link on the detail page?
15:29 Seems like a reasonable idea to me
15:30 wizzyrea well mostly I just didn't want to go to the trouble of doing it if you thought it was not a good idea.
15:30 but yes, I think I did. :)
15:31 * oleonard wonders if we shouldn't go ahead and put both edit and delete links?
15:31 kf joined #koha
15:31 wizzyrea well...
15:38 oleonard welllllll...
15:41 wizzyrea I suppose you could want to delete from that page too
15:41 if we had the in-table editing thinger we could get rid of additem.pl altogether.
15:41 well, the editing and deleting portions of it anyway

18:00 cait slef: around?
18:11 jcamins kyleh: I saw your changes to the plugins code.
18:12 The unzipping looks better.
18:16 kyleh: I'm still concerned about +Exec in the plugins directory, and the fact that using plugins doesn't require *both* a configuration setting in koha-conf.xml (defaulting to off) and a syspref.
18:17 kyleh: I didn't mention this yesterday, but an additional issue from a security point of view is that there's no way to disable uploading from the client and still enable plugins. That should be possible from koha-conf.xml.
18:20 melia: well, at least you're getting feedback on the bug, even if a sign off is not yet forthcoming, right?
18:20 :)
18:20 melia yes, definitely!
18:44 jcamins wizzyrea: while you're adding a floating menu, add a "clone" button.
18:44 :)
18:54 kyleh jcamins: I can add a setting in koha-conf.xml, I'm not sure what we can do about the +Exec, isn't it required for apache to be able to run the perl scripts?
18:55 jcamins kyleh: right, that's why I think the thing to do is use Module::Load::Conditional.
18:55 kyleh jcamins: I still don't grok that module, any chance you'd want to write a followup to mine ; )
18:56 does anyone know what saved_sql.cache_expiry does?
18:56 jcamins kyleh: yes, it sets when the cached report expires.
18:57 kyleh: I'm not sure why it's not allowed to be NULL, because it definitely was allowed to be NULL in the patch I did.
18:57 kyleh it's an int(11), can't be null. In master you cannot save an sql report as it cannot be null.
18:57 jcamins kyleh: right, I mean, there's no reason it shouldn't be allowed to be NULL.
18:57 kyleh should I just patch it to allow it to be null then?
18:58 jcamins kyleh: yes.
18:58 kyleh will do!
18:58 jcamins kyleh: another option would be to set it to 0, but, as I said, that shouldn't be necessary.
18:59 I guess option C is to do both, so we can be double-sure. ;)
18:59 kyleh setting to 0 would bypass the need for a db rev, I think I'll go with that.
19:00 jcamins kyleh: good point. That's my favorite option too now that you mention it.
19:04 kyleh bug 8128 patch submitted
19:04 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8128 blocker, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, Needs Signoff , can't seem to run new sql reports
19:05 jcamins If cait doesn't have a chance, I'll sign off when I get a chance (probably not until tomorrow, alas).
19:06 cait not sure I can... accounting
19:06 *sigh*
19:08 jcamins Right, cait _definitely_ can't sign off.
19:08 If neither nengard nor magnuse get to it before I do, I'll sign off on it.
19:34 nengard_lunch jcamins i can sign off but it won't count
19:34 * wizzyrea might get to that right now
19:34 jcamins Even better, we can delegate to wizzyrea. :)
19:35 nengard i signed off
19:35 you can sign off on mine
19:37 wizzyrea yup, assuming it passes tests, i'm done testing
19:37 works a treat.
19:38 passes *automated tests
