00:49 seanb joined #koha
00:50 seanb anybody have experience running koha and drupal on the server?  looking to cut some troubleshooting steps...
00:50 *same server
00:51 rangi same people here as last time you asked :-)
00:51 seanb just checking :)
00:51 rangi you might want to try the mailing list, did you read what mtj posted too?
00:51 seanb this is purely an apache issue, so maybe you can point me in a healthy direction?
00:52 rangi yep
00:52 seanb i did read mtj paste and used it
00:52 rangi https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/
00:52 seanb and i am now using dns for my test server, for a proper test
00:53 the problem is that no matter what i type for the subdomain in the url, it only hits the drupal site
00:53 i already have that help page up :)
00:53 on vhosts
00:54 rangi https://httpd.apache.org/docs/[…]l#namevirtualhost
00:54 seanb that one too
00:54 rangi well thats the answer there
00:54 seanb by adding a vhost for drupal, i was able to bring it up.  but now i can't access koha, which isn't addressed in the apache help files
00:55 the way koha is implemented, i'm not real clear on that
00:55 rangi its a virtual host too
00:55 2 of them in fact in one file
00:55 seanb yup
00:56 rangi theres nothing more to it than that
00:56 seanb but after adding a vhost for drupal, i can no longer surf to the koha instance
00:56 rangi yes
00:56 and its most likely because you dont have a namevirtualhost entry
00:57 seanb but if both named vhosts reference the same ip address and have the correct ServerName entries, then it should work... at least to my knowledge
00:57 rangi if you haev a namevirtualhost entry
00:58 seanb oh wait.  i don't
00:58 i found that entry sitting in ports.conf, but that didn't seem right.  so i was going to put it in httpd.conf
00:59 but i didn't
00:59 because i forgot
01:06 and that solved it
01:07 thank you very much for the equivalent of "did you check to make sure it was plugged in?"
01:08 rangi its always best to ask the easy questions first
01:08 cos 90% of the time, thats what it is :)
01:08 seanb indeed

02:40 eythian is it possible to make Koha have the first fine at $1, the next at $3, the next at $5, etc.
02:40 I could see doing $2, $4, $6, but not how to start with an odd number
02:58 rangi yeah thats a tricky one

07:18 http://pastebin.com/nhZ6qvEC /usr/share/koha/misc/koha-install-log

07:33 rangi mib_pzd2m8: the first thing you should do after logging into the admin side, is create a borrower and give it permissions and then use it to login from then on
07:33 mib_pzd2m8: what is your native language?
07:33 paul_p good morning #koha
07:34 mib_pzd2m8 Russia
07:34 rangi hmm im not sure if the manual has been translated into russian yet
07:34 Amit_Gupta heya paul_p
07:35 mib_pzd2m8 wiil try create borrower
07:35 rangi http://manual.koha-community.o[…]dstaffpatron.html
07:38 mib_pzd2m8: we should make it say a better error but the cause of it is, that the admin user isnt a real user, and so doesnt have an expiry date set
07:38 mib_pzd2m8 Oh
07:38 now read and try
07:38 rangi mib_pzd2m8: we do have some russian speakers who use koha
07:39 but in the ukraine
07:39 kf rangi++
07:40 rangi if you get stuck you could email the koha-translate mailing list, and ask on there if any russian speakers could help
07:40 mib_pzd2m8 not scary, it is possible in English, I'm just slow reply (read)
07:41 rangi ahh, i bet you read english much faster than i can read russian :)

10:26 Oak we can all write emails to paypal individually protesting this. slef you prepare the draft, we all email. :) crazy idea huh.
10:29 slef Oak: how about doing that from KohaCon if they've not fixed it by then? The co-op has good credit at our real banks, so I think we can finance it until something like 20th July if we must.
10:29 Oak: but they are being a massive PITA

12:19 oleonard I'm right on time too!
12:21 clrh oleonard: I don't want to take to much time but I wanted to talk to you and other of one work we are beginning
12:21 oleonard Okay
12:21 paul_p rangi = I like gerrit !
12:21 clrh this discussion can be followed by julian_m Joubu asaurat and francharb
12:21 and paul_p
12:22 a customer ask us to do a full design integration for opac-detail and opac-results
12:22 it is not only 2 colors ;)
12:23 we would like to avoid specific theme and specific patches for this custome
12:23 r
12:23 and begin to talk about this with you seems a go step
12:23 what about you?
12:24 oleonard I don't know what you mean by "full design integration"
12:24 francharb hi oleonard
12:25 clrh oleonard: I'll show you just a minute
12:28 https://depot.biblibre.com/che[…]ique_opac_MAJ.pdf
12:30 jcamins You want to make Koha look like that?
12:30 clrh we don't know exactly what to do in how many days :)
12:30 I think we can't do everything
12:31 jcamins I think you are right. :)
12:31 clrh but begining to work on opac structure to provide a more themable structure could be a good thing
12:32 my first first quesion was to ask if you heard about similar initiative
12:32 jcamins +infinity!
12:32 clrh :)
12:32 kf not sure structure is the problem :) I mean there will always be some limitations
12:32 magnuse themability++ :-)
12:33 oleonard It may be possible that we can do some things to increase flexibility, but I agree with kf that there will always be limitations
12:33 clrh of course...
12:33 kf hm some nice ideas there
12:33 clrh there is a lots of "koha curstomisations" behind
12:34 kf clrh: is this only a picture or does it exist somewhere?
12:34 francharb kf, just a picture
12:34 clrh we have pictures elements and color
12:34 but the work to do is integration ;)
12:35 jcamins kf: I think there are some structural issues with the results page. The checkboxes, numbers, descriptions, and cover images are in table cells with no identification.
12:35 That's the big one I noticed. You have to resort to :first-child, that sort of thing.
12:35 clrh julian_m: and Joubu began to list features or specific behaviour and classify if it can be done in xslt, css, templates or if it is a new feature
12:36 kf clrh: yes, I think a mix of all
12:37 clrh jcamins: can you reword this: (don't understand)  You have to resort to :first-child, that sort of thing.
12:38 jcamins Sure.
12:40 tcohen joined #koha
12:40 jcamins If you want to modify the layout of a record on the results page, it's difficult because you can't use CSS to, for example, shift the checckbox. You have to use jQuery with the selector "tr td:first-child"
12:42 julian_m jcamins, about the search results table, we thinked about replacing table,tr,td... by a list of <div> because it could be much more customizable
12:42 francharb joined #koha
12:42 julian_m what do you think?
12:42 jcamins julian_m++
12:43 * jcamins doesn't have the expertise to do it, but if it can be done, thinks it would be a great idea.
12:46 julian_m what's your opinon on this oleonard ? kf ?
12:46 kf I am not sure about the consequences of that change
12:46 owen might know
12:49 magnuse fwiiw, i'm with jcamins: if it can be done, it's a great idea
12:49 oleonard sorry, got called away from my desk. reading back.
12:50 I think looking at a new grid system to help replace that table would be very beneficial
12:51 I haven't had the time to work on that project myself. I still think the Bootstrap grid is a good candidate to try.
12:51 I could even be that adding the Bootstrap grid is a possibility without (or before) doing a full OPAC template restructuring
12:51 francharb oleonard, bootstrap is css framework right?
12:52 oleonard Bootstrap includes a CSS grid and javascript tools, but I was looking only at the grid
12:52 chris_n what about jquery's theme system?
12:52 oleonard jquery doesn't have a grid system
12:52 The theme system is for changing the look of jqueryUI widgets
12:53 * chris_n is pretty ignorant about these things so keep that in mind :-)

13:00 Oak joined #koha
13:00 julian_m oleonard, bootstrap is great but i don't see it can help us to provide more customization in koha
13:01 i don't see *how* it can help
13:01 oleonard julian_m: It can provide structure for a non-table search results page if that's what you're looking for
13:02 I don't really see how we can provide more customization in Koha without setting up a system to change the position of elements via system preferences or something like that
13:02 We always end up getting down to template changes or heavy lifting with jQuery
13:04 magnuse i was wondering if it could be possible to have two layers of templates: one lower layer for the nitty gritty details of rendering things, and an upper layer for positioning things relative to each other. but that might not be feasible at all...
13:05 oleonard I don't know how you'd make it work, but I think that's a reasonable idea
13:05 julian_m oleonard, imo the goal (ideally) is to provide as much customization as possible using only a custom css and custom xslt. For example at the moment we cannot change easily the design of opac header with pure css
13:06 oleonard julian_m: I agree.
13:06 However, I think there are a lot of limitations to designing with pure CSS when it comes to positioning minor elements
13:09 I'm not objecting to any particular changes, just feeling pessimistic that there is a perfect solution. I welcome any good ideas but don't have many myself today.
13:11 julian_m i agree there is no perfect solution, but i'm sure there's a much better solution
13:14 sekjal I think we need to codify and rigourize the variables that can be expected on each page.  If those don't change frequently, then managing custom templates is less of a problem

14:13 solr demo is at http://catalogue.solr.biblibre.com/
14:13 magnuse yay
14:13 jcamins Uh-oh.
14:13 clrh: the solr demo doesn't appear to be working.
14:14 It says "Error: Bad request! help message ?" when I enter in a keyword.
14:14 * magnuse replicates
14:15 hdl1 jcamins: maybe needs some reindexing
14:15 drojf oh yes i had the same problem a while ago. forgot to tell anyone :(
14:15 stupid brain
14:17 jcamins hdl1: the authorities browser doesn't work, either.
14:17 hdl1: error about hashrefs.
14:17 clrh jcamins: I'll have a look
14:17 solr can be down
14:18 jcamins: it works for me
14:18 wich url please?
14:18 jcamins http://catalogue.solr.biblibre[…]earch.pl?q=russie
14:20 clrh jcamins: because it moves http://catalogue.solr-demo.bib[…]q=russie&filters=
14:20 moved
14:20 jcamins Oh.
14:20 Thanks.
14:20 forget solr demo
14:20 wahanui jcamins: I forgot solr demo
14:20 jcamins solr demo is http://catalogue.solr-demo.biblibre.com/
14:20 clrh: that works. :D
14:20 Thanks!
14:20 I'll update the wiki.
14:21 clrh 03/05/2012 14:16 <- mail on koha-devel
14:21 sorry for the trouble
14:21 jcamins No problem.
14:23 I updated the wiki so those of us who can't remember will see the correct URL. :)
14:24 magnuse jcamins++
14:25 jcamins Okay, I need opinions.
14:26 I need to add more authority search options to the OPAC.
14:26 Oak jcamins++
14:26 jcamins (Preferred heading, any heading, and keyword [what we have now])
14:26 kf gmcharlt: ping
14:27 clrh thx
14:27 kf jcamins: perhaps make it optional? I think it would be overwhelming for our libraries
14:27 jcamins kf: yes, that wasn't the opinion.
14:27 kf jcamins: I got positive feedback about the simple interface now
14:27 jcamins I already planned that.
14:27 kf cool :)
14:27 sorry then
14:27 jcamins kf: the problem is that the library in question is planning on loading several *million* authority records.
14:27 So they need to be able to search more precisely.
14:28 magnuse yay! :-)
14:29 kf jcamins: makes sense, but glad we don't have to do that
14:29 jcamins The opinion I need is "add different boxes, or add a dropdown that says 'in keyword, main entry, any heading."
14:31 Oak by boxes you mean checkboxes>
14:31 jcamins I'm thinking adding a dropdown at the end of the line would make sense.
14:31 They don't need to do sophisticated boolean searching, they just need the ability to specify that they only want records where the heading is X (as opposed to notes).
14:32 No, textboxes.
14:32 Oak ah
14:32 jcamins Like we have in the authority plugin right now.
14:32 I think that's kind of daunting.
14:32 Oak http://baymard.com/blog/drop-down-usability
14:32 kf yeah
14:33 it's also creating problems
14:33 because you can't combine them really, can't you?
14:33 jcamins Right.
14:33 Well, you can, but it's really hard to do so in a meaningful way.

15:08 slef gmcharlt: thd-away: can you check that the wiki is sending out confirmation emails? (see koha@lists today)
15:08 jcamins: I think I spotted opac/opac-tags.pl appearing to repeat code that is in C4 today, but I didn't want to know (kohacon to do!) so didn't look too closely.
15:09 @seen gmcharlt

15:09 Joubu bye
15:09 slef @later tell thd please can you check that the wiki is sending out confirmation emails? (see koha@lists today, I also asked gmcharlt )
15:09 huginn` slef: The operation succeeded.
15:09 jcamins slef: probably the same code.
15:11 Eww.
15:11 It generates links in the Perl.
15:16 Huh. Actually, it doesn't generate links at all. Go figure.
15:23 Okay, now it generates links.
15:29 kf jcamins: I thik if you toss the file out and rewrite it it's probably best :P
15:29 jcamins: and the part of it that lives in C4 too
15:29 jcamins lol
15:29 kf jcamins: it has untranslatable strings!
15:29 jcamins: it's outputting html
15:29 it's evil

15:33 jcamins hdl1++
15:33 Thanks!
15:33 kf I didn't even know that existed :)
15:34 hdl1 kf: it is quite Unimarc specific. But works quite nicely
15:34 s/nicely/fairly/
15:34 (not so cute in fac)
15:34 fact even
15:35 kf :)
15:35 I trust in jcamins to make authorities awesome
15:44 jcamins unimarc authorities?
15:44 unimarc?
15:44 wahanui well, unimarc is http://www.ifla.org/en/publica[…]ted-documentation
15:45 jcamins Good enough. :)
15:47 hdl1: a UNIMARC authority can only have one 2xx field at a time, right?
15:47 magnuse: around?
15:48 hdl1 jcamins: it is supposed to be so...
15:48 It may have more than one though
15:48 for translitteration purpose
15:49 jcamins hdl1: hmmm... well, I guess it's not so hard to handle that.
15:49 Maybe.

16:15 jcamins hdl1: what is a 4xx field with a subfield 2 specified in an authority record?
16:16 I can't figure out if that's a reference saying "use this other authority instead," or a reference saying "use this authority instead of this other authority."
16:16 mib_7iphba joined #koha
16:16 hdl1 $2 Subject system code
16:16 mib_7iphba How can I search using the Library of Congress Catalog Card number in z39.50?
16:17 jcamins hdl1: oh, so that's a reference to a different authority file?
16:17 hdl1 jcamins: http://archive.ifla.org/VI/3/p[…]ll.htm#CONTROLSUB
16:18 jcamins Hm. This is better than the document that I had.
16:18 Thanks.
16:18 hdl1 $2 is only a name of the reference .... Like Rameau
16:18 It is old standard.
16:18 but still quite usefull
16:19 jcamins: what you want is rather $5
16:19 (relation)
16:20 jcamins hdl1: I figured out what $5 meant.
16:20 I was trying to understand some old code in C4::AuthoritiesMarc::BuildSummary.
16:21 pastebot "jcamins" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "the code in question" (6 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/423
16:22 hdl1 $2 contains the name or code of the thesausrus it is originated from
16:22 $2 rameau
16:22 $2 LCSH
16:22 $2 MASH
16:22 s/MASH/MESH/ (end of day here)
16:23 for instance
16:23 jcamins Hm. So that's to make sure it only shows references from other authority files.
16:25 hdl1 jcamins: *nod... It is really old code that may have been quite specific for one network of libraries
16:25 one could remove the id $field->subfield('2') condition
16:26 jcamins Okay. I will do that. It makes it more inline with the MARC21 code.

16:52 mib_7iphba How can I search using the Library of congress catalog card number?
16:52 jcamins mib_7iphba: what do you mean?
16:52 mib_7iphba in Z39.50
16:52 For example
16:53 I have in my hands "The reader's companion to World Literature."
16:53 jcamins Control number.
16:53 mib_7iphba yes.
16:53 But when I search for it
16:53 it doesn't show up
16:53 jcamins It may be that the library you are searching doesn't support that.
16:53 mib_7iphba The library of Congress?
16:54 jcamins Did you try it with LC?
16:54 Okay, that's not it.
16:54 mib_7iphba Yes.
16:54 jcamins I do that all the time.
16:54 mib_7iphba Dashes are zeros, correct?
16:55 jcamins No, dashes are ignored.
16:55 I think.
16:55 * jcamins tries.
16:55 jcamins Interesting.
16:55 It doesn't work.
16:55 mib_7iphba Ignoring the dashes gets another book
16:56 And when I do find my book by the title,
16:56 the catalog number shows up under LCCN
16:56 correctly listed
16:56 with dashes as 0s
16:57 * jcamins doesn't use LCCNs when copy cataloging from Koha, so had never noticed that it doesn't work.
16:58 mib_7iphba It works apparently when I enter it in RAW
16:58 jcamins The box is missing.
16:58 There used to be an option to search by LCCN, but it's not there anymore.
16:58 I'd just go with raw for now.
16:58 mib_7iphba is there a way to add a new MARC field to my Z39.50?
16:58 jcamins The problem is the interface.
16:58 All the code is already there.
16:59 mib_7iphba Is it not the "Control No."?
16:59 jcamins You'd have to use either jQuery or edit the templates manually.
16:59 mib_7iphba I presumed that was short for LCCN
17:00 jcamins No, that searches something else.
17:00 I thought it was, too.
17:00 mib_7iphba What is the template for the z39.50?
17:00 jcamins cataloguing/z3950_search.tt
17:01 Unless you are comfortable with programming, I cannot stress enough what a bad idea it is to modify the templates directly.
17:01 mib_7iphba I can rename and replace
17:01 that way I keep the old template as a backup
17:02 I presume it is PHP?
17:02 Oak joined #koha
17:02 jcamins No.
17:02 Koha is written in Perl.
17:02 The templates are written in Template::Toolkit.
17:03 mib_7iphba Right.
17:03 Well.
17:03 I will take a look at it.

17:23 mib_odnodf No luck. Thought I had.
17:23 I can't seem to find what displays the elements
17:23 jcamins I want a T::T filter that is entirely T::T
17:23 mib_odnodf I understand the pearl easy enough
17:24 jcamins mib_odnodf: it's probably called z3950_search.tt
17:24 slef @marc 952
17:24 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
17:24 huginn` slef: unknown tag 952
17:25 mib_odnodf I have z3950_search.pl?
17:26 jcamins mib_odnodf: that's the Perl. In htdocs there is going to be a template.

18:03 slef #info Email summary sent to volunteers about 2 hours ago
18:03 #info One error in it... should have said about 80 registrations.
18:03 cait yay!
18:04 slef #info It's probably a tie for what has taken most time this week, between preparing for printing and trying to get Paypal to release our donations.
18:04 #info Thanks to cait, rangi, kyleh, jcamins and my colleagues mjkaye and mle_ for their help and work this week.
18:05 cait slef++ # for all his hard work and battling paypal
18:05 slef Any questions? Anyone not seen that email who wants to see it?
18:05 cait slef: do you have an idea of how many people will attend the hackfest?
18:06 slef cait: not right now. That will be revealed as part of preparing the attendee lists.
18:06 cait ok
18:06 techbee joined #koha
18:06 slef I can see if the IMAP server will let me query it
18:06 cait is there something we can help with?
18:07 slef ask other questions while I do that :)
18:07 cait I think for now the schedule should be ok
18:07 so for conference, is there something you need help with on site?
18:08 most of us arrive monday I think so should be possible to be around a bit earlier helping with things
18:08 slef #info IMAP server claims 38 people for hackfest
18:08 cait oh nice
18:09 slef To be frank, part of the problem is that it was something like 12 years since I last co-organised a conference and I only had a small role then and we usually used expensive event managers so I probably don't know what needs doing on the site.
18:09 techbee Hello all , have installed koha on virutal machine but wen i try to access web access it redirect to  maintenance.pl
18:09 slef #idea please put any suggestions into http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]aCon12_Volunteers
18:10 #info (suggestions for what needs to be at the event, that is)
18:10 cait perhaps mle does know more?
18:10 slef techbee: hi. Can you give us a few minutes (20 max I think) to finish the meeting?
18:10 cait like if the chairs and all will be set already or if we have to move stuff? set up a registration desk?
18:10 this kind of things
18:10 techbee sure slef
18:11 cait mle_: around? :)
18:11 zioha_ joined #koha
18:11 slef cait: probably mle_ knows more. I think chairs will be site, but some stuff will need moving, including setting up a registration desk.
18:11 chairs will be set up, even
18:11 cait if we have room and tables, some tables like in nz would be nice
18:11 slef dyslexia + autocomplete = gibberish
18:12 cait in the back for people blogging and twittering
18:12 slef I think mle_ will be here next on Friday.
18:12 Yes, it looks like we will have room for that...
18:13 cait ok, so perhaps you can send a mail when you know
18:13 slef If I remember right, the max for the talks room without tables is 120, and we may lose 10 or 20 for the registration.
18:13 cait and we can be there earlier
18:14 slef mjkaye: don't suppose you fancy reading the case file for SC #2612 to see if it says? ;-)
18:14 * mjkaye looks
18:14 cait ok, no more questions from me
18:15 slef OK, I think no-one else has any?
18:15 let's give mjkaye a minute though
18:15 and anyone else can ask if they think of any
18:16 and I can grovel for not testing the projector yet
18:16 I'll do that as soon as this meeting is finished
18:16 I have it right here by my desk
18:17 cait #action slef, mle_ or mjkaye to mail the mailing list if volunteer's can help with somethong on site or before the event
18:17 slef and paul_p offered to bring one too
18:17 which would be helpful
18:17 jwagner slef, any word on remote presentation plans?
18:18 mjkaye I can see that we said we wanted room for 120 people, but can't find confirmation yet.
18:18 slef jwagner: we'll definitely have some sort of inbound link for that, as I understand it. I'm still less sure what sort of outbound link for the audience we have.
18:19 mjkaye: ok, no matter.
18:19 mjkaye: one of us should call them, else dump it on mle on Friday ;)
18:20 jwagner: as to exactly what software, I don't know. I suppose if we do have two projectors, then we could have slides on one, presenter on other.
18:21 jwagner OK, thanks. Will need enough advance notice to install & test whatever connection software you want to use.
18:22 slef jwagner: expect you and jcamins to get cc'd on an email about connection software Real Soon Now
18:22 jwagner OK
18:23 cait ok, I think we can wrap up the meeting here?
18:23 as this is the last meeting before KohaCon - I will skip the last topic :)

18:24 slef aw I was going to say Monday 6pm Library Bar ;)
18:24 techbee: so, you were asking?
18:25 cait slef: sorry!
18:25 mjkaye left #koha
18:25 techbee slef: yes, i am not sure about issue but when i try to web access after installation it redirects to  maintance.pl
18:26 http://208.117.46.227:8080/cgi[…]ha/maintenance.pl
18:26 slef cait: never mind.
18:27 techbee: you need to run the web installer on the librarian interface first
18:27 techbee: you might find that on :8000
18:27 or not
18:27 check your koha-httpd.conf to find the other VirtualHost
18:29 techbee i did set both to 8080 , should i define other port
18:30 slef ah no
18:30 not necessarily
18:30 you need to call the other one by its ServerName then
18:31 assuming you have a suitable NameVirtualHost 208.117.46.227:8080
18:31 then apache will select between them based on which ServerName you use
18:31 wahanui: VirtualHosts?
18:31 wahanui wish i knew, slef
18:31 slef wahanui: VirtualHost?
18:31 wahanui i think VirtualHost is http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/vhosts/
18:32 slef techbee: wahanui just gave a link for a general guide, but this is a webserver setup problem more than a koha one.
18:32 techbee: The Right Way To Do It depends on what "It" is for you.
18:33 techbee VirtualHost configuration: wildcard NameVirtualHosts and _default_ servers: *:80                   vps42092.mylogin.co (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default:1) *:8080                 is a NameVirtualHost          default server vps42092.mylogin.co (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/kidasia:4)          port 8080 namevhost vps42092.mylogin.co (/etc/apache2/sites-ena
18:33 apachectl -S output
18:34 not sure what's problem here?
18:38 jcamins techbee: the problem is that you aren't using name-based virtual hosts.
18:38 If you want to have them on the same port, you have to access them by *name*.
18:38 Alternatively, you can put them on different ports.
18:42 wizzyrea does anyone out there use autoblogo?
18:44 * oleonard can't even look up what it is because the site is down
18:45 wizzyrea O RLY
18:45 techbee thanks jcamins it worked
18:45 * wizzyrea was wondering because it's doing some irritating things in regards to fetching feeds from k-c.org
18:45 wizzyrea and I was wondering who out there was using it
18:46 jcamins techbee: glad to hear it.

19:01 slef wizzyrea: is it hammering tags?
19:01 wizzyrea no, it's requesting the full feed every 5 seconds
19:01 or some nonsense.
19:05 slef ow
19:05 we had someone hammering tags on our servers, I know not why
19:07 jcamins cait: where do the horrid untranslateable bits appear, other than the cataloguing plugin, the authorities module, and the OPAC?
19:08 cait isn't that enough?
19:08 :)
19:08 I think you covered it with those, not aware of other places
19:08 we don't do much with authorities yet, so it has not spread
19:10 jcamins That's good. :)
19:21 cait: is there a bug about the strings being untranslateable?
19:21 cait yes
19:21 give me a second to find it

19:34 cait morning rangi
19:34 :)
19:34 wizzyrea mornin
19:35 jcamins I have a question.
19:35 Authority autocomplete.
19:35 cait ?
19:35 rangi No
19:35 jcamins Do we really want all the information about see from references to show up?
19:36 cait I am not sure
19:36 jcamins The way I use it, it'd make a lot more sense if it just gave me the heading.
19:36 cait but I wondered that myself
19:36 rangi I stand by my answer
19:36 cait I think the heading
19:36 and the thing that made it show up in search would be nice
19:36 jcamins cait: hahahaha.
19:36 cait what?
19:36 it's an honest wish :)
19:36 serious?
19:36 jcamins Choose one! :P
19:36 cait my brain is tired
19:37 jcamins You should go to sleep so you can get up early to do accounting.
19:37 cait you can do magic, why can't you do that?
19:37 now you are being mean *sniff*
19:37 I think it was once possible for normal search
19:38 it used to show you what matched
19:38 jcamins I could do that, but it falls under the heading of "things that would take so much time that someone would ahve to be paying for it." :(
19:38 cait it would be nice having that :)
19:38 jcamins have, even
19:38 cait ok, enh request then
19:38 but it would be nice, right? :)
19:39 jcamins It would be very nice.
19:39 I'm going to go with the heading-only option.
19:39 If the BibLibrans feel that it's better with everything I'll add that, but I'd just as soon not add any T::T processing to the autocomplete.
19:42 rangi Bywater++
19:42 * rangi checks sponsors page
19:43 cait jcamins: don't get the autocomplete part
19:43 can you explain?
19:43 jcamins cait: what do you mean?
19:43 cait what you said about autocomplete
19:44 jcamins That I'd prefer not to add any T::T processing?
19:44 Right now we just use "print"
19:44 cait hm
19:44 are you doing a better detail display?
19:44 because i was just thinking that I killed the detail display, so without the see/seealso in the list, there is no way to see them
19:45 jcamins Right now I'm just modifying the search result display.
19:45 cait but the existing marc display.... is really not good for users in opa
19:45 jcamins Wait, there used to be a detail display?
19:45 cait c
19:45 a marc style detail display
19:45 ugly
19:46 jcamins cait: oh, yeah, we need a nice one.
19:48 rangi Hmm 4 cello on this bus now
19:48 wizzyrea like, stringed instrument cellos?
19:48 or… something else
19:49 rangi Yeah that
19:49 wahanui somebody said Yeah that was fine as it is
19:49 rangi Music students
19:50 oleonard Cello bus flash mob
19:51 cait jcamins: so I am ok with removing if oyu manage to add a user friendly detail display
19:53 rangi My stop bbiab
19:56 slef hi rangi. Gave you a shout-out during the kohacon meeting.
20:00 rangi back
20:00 oh?
20:00 * rangi reads back
20:00 rangi ah :)
20:02 jcamins You know, I'm just going to squash the two patches together.
20:07 RA joined #koha
20:30 oleonard Okay, I think the jQueryUI tabs patch is just about ready
20:30 rangi wooo
20:30 oleonard On to datepickers next!
20:30 rangi oleonard++
20:30 and then nosepickers!
20:31 * rangi resorts to 3year old humour
20:31 oleonard Yesterday when I dragged my 3yo's finger out of her nose she told me seriously, "it's okay I wasn't going to eat it"
20:32 wizzyrea ^^ is epic.
20:33 oleonard And with that I bid you good night!
20:33 cait good night oleonard :)

20:41 wizzyrea oo good article
20:41 cait yep nice
20:55 mib_ail2yz joined #koha
20:56 mib_ail2yz How can I change the default Koha cataloging framework to something other than default
21:04 jcamins "Autolocation independent venues"?
21:04 Don't think I've ever heard of that.
21:05 rangi hmm
21:05 might be a translation thing
21:05 but you can restrict by ipnumbers there is a syspref for that
21:05 lemme find it
21:05 Autolocation it is called
21:06 in the administration tab
21:06 jcamins Ah, guess that's what the problem is, then.
21:06 Or has something to do with it.
21:06 rangi i bet they need that switched to don't require or specify the ip ranges when setting up the library
21:06 i bet they turned it on
21:08 mib_ail2yz How can I change the default cataloging framework for after a z3950?
21:08 jcamins mib_ail2yz: I don't think you can.
21:08 I may be mistaken, though. I don't use frameworks.
21:09 mib_ail2yz What do you use
21:09 ?
21:10 jcamins mib_ail2yz: the default framework.
21:10 wahanui i think the default framework is ok in this case
21:11 mib_ail2yz I'm going to try to inspect the element and trace it back, I guess
21:12 jcamins The first question?
21:12 wahanui "What are you trying to do?"  "What is the goal?" or "What problem are you experiencing?"
21:16 mib_ail2yz yes.
21:16 the first question
21:16 wahanui "What are you trying to do?"  "What is the goal?" or "What problem are you experiencing?"
21:16 jcamins mib_ail2yz: that was for you.
21:17 (the first question)
21:20 mib_ail2yz Wait,
21:20 what?
21:21 jcamins mib_ail2yz: I was wondering what problem you were trying to solve.
21:21 @quote search typo
21:21 huginn` jcamins: 2 found: #135: "rangi: $tempate->{VARS}->{'LoginBranchname'} -..." and #82: "<pianohack> nengard: If you were using a..."
21:23 mib_ail2yz I am trying to get the framework to default to BKS
21:24 jcamins mib_ail2yz: right, why?
21:24 There must be a reason you decided it was important enough to dive into the code when I said I didn't think it could be done.
21:25 wizzyrea mib_ail2yz: it might be able to be done with jquery ,but I haven't tried it.
21:26 koha itself doesn't let you specify a different default framework than the default (that I am aware of)
21:26 mib_ail2yz right,
21:26 I am just trying to make life easier on our catalogers
21:26 wizzyrea speaking from experience, they will learn.
21:26 mib_ail2yz And am not daunted by PERL
21:26 They have
21:26 it's an efficiency thing
21:27 wizzyrea power to ya then.
21:27 mib_ail2yz I'm almost there
21:27 Now,
21:27 jcamins mib_ail2yz: my experience has always been that catalogers get irate if you start taking away the less common fields.
21:27 :)
21:28 mib_ail2yz The first option is listed as BKS
21:28 but acts like default
21:28 unless I switch to another framework
21:28 and then back
21:28 in which case
21:28 it acts like BKS
21:28 jcamins Default is the framework with the id ''.
21:29 mib_ail2yz I can't change that ID, can I?
21:30 jcamins Not easily.
21:31 * wizzyrea states the obvious "you could always make your default framework just like your BKS"
21:31 wizzyrea using export - import
21:31 mib_ail2yz Rookie to koha.
21:32 jcamins wizzyrea: yeah, but then you'd lose your Default framework, which would be awful.
21:32 wizzyrea or
21:32 you export the default
21:32 make a new framework
21:32 import the default into that
21:32 then overwrite the default
21:32 then you lose nuthin.
21:32 :P
21:33 jcamins Fair enough.
21:33 wizzyrea I mean, *I haven't tried it*
21:33 *try it at your own risk*
21:33 meaning: don't do it on production
21:33 mib_ail2yz :D
21:33 wizzyrea consider yourself warned >.>
21:33 :D
21:34 I have, however, done the whole "export a framework, edit it, then reimport it" thing
21:34 and that works quite well.
21:34 mib_ail2yz I wish I had just a tiny bit more experience with perl
21:34 wizzyrea in all truth, probably easier to work with the tools koha gives you
21:35 though admittedly it's fun to hack around on koha
21:35 rangi editing the perl is pretty much a bad idea UNLESS you send your changes upstream
21:35 wizzyrea ^^^^^^^^^
21:35 what he said.
21:35 rangi koha does 6 monthly feature releases, and more importantly 1 month bug and security releases
21:36 wizzyrea upgrades are ouchy if you have local changes.
21:36 rangi local changes, make it hard to do that
21:36 mib_ail2yz I haven't updated at all
21:36 jcamins ... and it's generally a good idea to keep your system at least somewhat up-to-date because we can't help all that much with old versions, simply because we don't have copies installed.
21:37 Also, security and bug fixes are considered a good idea to keep current on. ;)
21:37 wizzyrea plus … gah I'm too slow.
21:37 we fix lotsa stuff
21:37 out of curiosity, what version are you running?
21:38 mib_ail2yz Let me check
21:39 wizzyrea more -> about koha
21:40 mib_ail2yz 3.06.04.000
21:40 I was looking about some other things
21:40 wizzyrea decently up to date :)
21:40 jcamins Okay, only one version behind is good. :)
21:40 mib_ail2yz My koha is mostly default
21:41 3.8 is out?
21:41 jcamins When you said "I haven't updated at all," I was picturing 3.0.0. ;)
21:41 3.8.1.
21:41 And 3.6.5.
21:41 The 3.6.x line will be maintained until 3.10 is released.
21:41 mib_ail2yz I only added that LCCN box to the z39.50. That's a crime that it's not default
21:41 and my OPAC is customized
21:41 jcamins mib_ail2yz: you should file a bug and submit your patch.
21:42 mib_ail2yz for the LCCN?
21:42 jcamins I'd sign off on it so it could get into Koha proper.
21:42 Yup.
21:42 mib_ail2yz How can I do that?
21:42 cait I think it used to be there?
21:42 jcamins Clearly it was supposed to be there, but it vanished.
21:42 cait: yeah, all the code is there.
21:42 cait I remember repairing tha tfor someone once
21:42 jcamins cait: not sure why it disappeared, since it's useful.
21:42 bugs?
21:42 wahanui i think bugs is found at http://bugs.koha-community.org. Please fix any bugs you find. :) or reporting them is helpful, too.
21:42 cait or I thought that was that lccn thing
21:42 jcamins cait: it probably was.
21:43 mib_ail2yz: report a bug at bugs.koha-community.org.
21:44 We have a page on getting started developing for Koha on the wiki.
21:44 Let me find it.
21:45 http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]pment_Environment
21:45 cait bug 5092
21:45 huginn` 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=5092 normal, PATCH-Sent (DO NOT USE), ---, katrin.fischer, RESOLVED FIXED, No results when searching by LC Call Number: in Z39.50 Server
21:46 jcamins cait: oh, that's LC call number.
21:46 cait and what is lccn?
21:46 mib_ail2yz Catalog number
21:46 cait hm
21:46 which field is that in marc?
21:46 and is it only for loc?
21:47 jcamins 010
21:47 cait: it's used for cataloging-in-publication.
21:48 mib_ail2yz the perl syntax is incorrect, is all
21:48 and so it's not in the template
21:48 presumably because it wasn't working.
21:48 wizzyrea patch!
21:48 version control using git?
21:48 wahanui version control using git is probably at http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]Control_Using_Git
21:48 wizzyrea ^^^ see here
21:48 jcamins Also eythian's detailed instructions on setting up a VM which I linked earlier.
21:49 mib_ail2yz Wait, what?
21:49 wahanui Wait, is it only in items?
21:49 mib_ail2yz I am listing more than at bugs.koha-community?
21:50 wizzyrea you don't have to, but if you have a patch to fix a problem
21:50 we'd love to have it
21:50 mib_ail2yz I do.
21:50 Where can I put that
21:50 wizzyrea you can attach the patch to your bug
21:50 mib_ail2yz ok
21:51 wizzyrea and probably you'll want to email it to koha-patches@lists.koha-community org (after registering for that list)
21:52 cait left #koha
21:53 mib_ail2yz list?
21:53 wahanui i guess list is not ready yet =)
21:53 wizzyrea koha-patches is a listserv you have to be a member of
21:53 lists?
21:53 wahanui lists is probably a good idea
21:53 wizzyrea hrmph.
21:53 koha lists?
21:53 * wizzyrea scowls at wahanui
21:54 wizzyrea koha mailing lists?
21:54 koha mailing lists are found at http://koha-community.org/supp[…]ha-mailing-lists/
21:54 now he'll know what to say :P
21:54 forget list
21:54 wahanui wizzyrea: I forgot list
