00:00 mib_jtzy1e ok
00:01 rangi id have a look on the wiki
00:01 wiki?
00:01 wahanui wiki is http://wiki.koha-community.org
00:01 rangi and see if someone else has started :)
00:01 also
00:01 bugs?
00:01 wahanui bugs is found at http://bugs.koha-community.org. Please fix any bugs you find. :) or reporting them is helpful, too.
00:01 mib_jtzy1e how about for a built in digital repository
00:02 rangi there has been some talk of that
00:03 Judit good morning
00:03 rangi however im off the opinion that there are already good floss digital repositories out there
00:03 so best to make it work well with them
00:03 mib_jtzy1e yes we have inspected Dspace
00:04 rangi fedora/fez i like too
00:04 mib_jtzy1e cool
00:04 i will look at that
00:04 i am fairly new to the koha world and I am not much of a programmer, but what would suggest I do if I wanted to start learning to program for koha
00:04 rangi do you know much perl?
00:05 mib_jtzy1e no
00:05 i learn languages fairly quickly when I use them
00:05 rangi id start off with the learning perl book, you'll rip through that fast
00:06 once you have the basic concepts .. then doing some unit tests is a good way to learn the code base
00:06 mib_jtzy1e awesome
00:06 thank you
00:29 rangi oh hey Judit :)
00:29 just realised i didnt say hi
00:30 Judit hi rangi how is winter treating you guys
00:31 rangi pretty mild actually, rainy but not cold at all
00:32 no snow like last year :)

01:05 dcook morning #koha
01:06 rangi afternoon :)
01:07 Judit haha
01:07 monring
01:07 rangi moonring to you too
01:07 dcook Gotta love the diversity of timezones :D
01:10 Judit this is just reminds me of this: http://www.choice.com.au/media[…]ice%20divide.aspx
01:23 dcook I don't suppose anyone knows if it's possible to include a default value in the jQuery Datatables select list?
01:24 In other words, for "holds to pull", to have the user's branch be the default rather than "none"
01:24 rangi no idea sorry
01:25 but id expect yes
01:25 dcook No worries. I'm thinking so too. I just hope it doesn't involve too much code additions
01:25 too many *
01:25 rangi you'd need to set seomthing in the template, that the jquery can use to know the users branch of course
01:25 dcook Mhm
01:26 I suppose it would be easy enough to do that after the table is drawn
01:26 But it would look a little sloppy to have JS choosing the branch after
01:26 Hmm
01:27 * dcook digs a bit more

04:14 wizzyrea1 joined #koha
04:24 mtj wow, that test is next-level
04:24 is it the first Test::MockModule test for koha, ever?
04:27 the other thing i've just clicked to is...
04:27 all our Koha db testing code could (or should?) be replaced with a DBD::Mock database?
04:28 ... which removes the problem of people having to set up a 'test' db, with mysql user-perms and such
04:28 mtompset joined #koha
04:29 mtompset Greetings, #koha.
04:29 mtj (which they usually never do, or do correctly)... and get a bunch of failed db tests
04:29 hi mtompset
04:31 mtompset Greetings, mtj
04:33 AndroUser2 joined #koha
04:34 mtompset Cool! jcamins_away found a sources.list generator. Great! He'll be able to test to his heart's content once the script is polished up some more. :)

05:18 cait does for me
05:19 mtj thanks cait -  i had some 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' problems, that i've hopefully fixed
05:19 cait not sure what that means, but I see a dashboard :)
05:19 are you planning to enhance it?
05:20 mtj yep, thats the plan :)
05:20 ... just setting up a dev instance
05:22 hey bart - long time, no see
05:24 and on that successfully note, i'm off....

05:30 rangi hey its jorgia !
05:31 jorgia bartjorgensen, hows it going ? :)
05:48 mezwor Hi all
05:49 3what are the advantages and disadvatges of installing koha via Git or .tar file?
05:52 3any1 there?
05:53 cait it depends on what you want to do
05:53 will you be developing?
05:54 do you want to customize the code you run in production (which is not strictly recommendable)?
06:00 mbalmer joined #koha
06:04 mtompset which install to use?\
06:04 which install to use?
06:04 wahanui If you're developing, you should use git. If you're not developing on a deb-based system, you should use packages. If you're not developing on a different flavour of Linux, you should use the tarball.
06:05 mtompset (packages = koha-common, etc.)
06:05 laurence joined #koha
06:07 pastebot "rangi" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "testing paste" (1 line) at http://paste.koha-community.org/60
06:10 mezwor 3I want to use for production env
06:10 mbalmer joined #koha
06:11 mezwor 3Cait: Yes no detail customization only changing the look and feel
06:13 alex_a bonjour !
06:13 cait git is mostly good if you want to develop
06:13 pastebot "jorgia" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "testing" (1 line) at http://paste.koha-community.org/61
06:13 cait mezwor: why are you not using the packages? it's a third option and easier than the tarball
06:13 mezwor 3You guys are suggesting to use tarball for production env
06:14 cait mezwor: suggesting you use the debian or ubuntu packages for Koha
06:14 packages?
06:14 wahanui packages is, like, at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian
06:15 mezwor 3I use Debian mostly
06:17 3cait: packages, does the link provide all the necessary packages ?
06:19 cait the link provides instrustions
06:19 instructions
06:19 wahanui instructions are coming right now to the wiki near you
06:20 mezwor 3Ya I got it, it is really helpful
06:20 cait http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]on_Debian_Squeeze
06:21 mezwor 3Cait: Thanks I got it, I understand what you mean.
06:22 3Any idea on how to make the OPAC online - I mean DNS , Domain issues
06:23 3And which file I have to edit to dos so ...
06:23 3And which file configuration I have to edit to do so ...
06:24 3Cait: any idea ...
06:24 cait mezwor: these are not really koha questions
06:24 koha is not different to other things you run on servers
06:25 mezwor 3I think there is a configuration issue to make OPAC available online so ...
06:26 alex_a1 joined #koha
06:26 cait you will need to look at apache
06:27 and your virtualhosts for koha
06:27 mtompset The instructions do contain some instructions on that.
06:27 * mtompset just realized how recursively weird that sounded.
06:28 cait heh
06:28 rangi Well that was productive from an empty ubuntu. To working koha installs from packages then switching the config to use the git clone in less than 2 hours
06:28 mezwor 3Ya I did it, both staff and OPAC interface works fine in my localhost now I want to make OPAC online
06:28 rangi And we even wrote 3 new tests
06:29 cait woot
06:30 mezwor: then the question is probably if your server is reachable from the outside
06:30 mezwor 3And I think there exists a configuration issue rlated to DNS and Domain name in koha, am I wrong?
06:30 francharb joined #koha
06:30 francharb hi
06:31 rangi They are coming back next week to do some more, but are planning to do some from home too
06:31 Hi francharb
06:32 francharb 0/ rangi
06:33 cait rangi: sounds awesome
06:34 mezwor 3Any help on what to do after successful installation of koha to make the OPAC live
06:35 3Cait: if apache was not configured properly, could I have access for staff and opac interface locally?
06:35 cait it's about your server I think - I am not a system administrator, so someone else might be more able to help you here. but it's really not a koha specific problem I think.
06:35 no it looks like what you have works. but you may have to change something if you want to access it from outside of the computer koha is running on
06:36 mezwor 3How about the link you gave me earlier it says something about DNS
06:36 rangi That's not koha that's dns
06:37 Ie a networking thing, not koha specific
06:37 mezwor 3ok , sorry I think I am stupid about it
06:38 rangi Ie you need to be able to access your server from the network
06:38 If you can access locally koha is ok
06:39 The rest is network/apache setup
06:39 * rangi hopes that's helpful
06:39 mezwor 3rangi: can you help on that?
06:39 3Just instructions
06:40 rangi No it will be specific to your set up
06:40 I would tell you the wrong things
06:40 mezwor 3means ?
06:41 3If you can help on general issues I will cascade it ... please
06:41 rangi Means no I can't help with that
06:41 mezwor 3ok
06:41 3 10Q

06:45 rangi Hmm is tweetbot dead?
06:46 Hi reiveune
06:47 Also DBD::Mock rules
06:47 cait it looks not too hard to copy from the unit test you attached
06:48 hope to see more exampls :)
06:48 brb
06:48 cait left #koha
06:53 mtompset That is sweet. It will help Koha be more clean regardless of backend used.

07:21 wahanui i guess mtompset is a human being in the Philippines, and is having musical flashbacks.
07:22 mtompset wahanui forget mtompset

07:24 Oops... :)
07:26 There... much better. :)
07:26 kf joined #koha
07:26 mtompset Greetings, kf.
07:26 * dcook_away swears that he sees a new bug every time he looks at Koha these days...
07:27 kf dcook_away: it's normal sometimes, don't worry, it will work out
07:27 dcook_away: but file them :)
07:27 mtompset They aren't bugs. They are unintentional features. ;)
07:27 dcook_away lol
07:27 nice one, mtompset :p
07:28 Good call, kf. It's 5:27pm but I want to fix it..
07:28 kf I think documenting htem is really the first step to make things better
07:28 and to make people aware
07:29 dcook_away Hmm, true enough!
07:29 * dcook_away patters away to bugzilla
07:34 kf dcook++ :)
07:35 dcook_away :)
07:35 Bug 8508. I think it might have to wait until tomorrow...
07:35 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8508 minor, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, NEW , Holds to Pull : jQuery datatable dropdown not displaying correctly when an item can be pulled from multiple libraries
07:36 kf the filing or the fixing?
07:37 :)
07:39 dcook_away The fixing ;)
07:40 Actually, I'm still just learning jQuery, so it might take a little while.
07:48 kf dcook_away: also fixing the bugs you file is perfect - but you can also file stuff you don't intend to fix and you stumble upoon
07:51 dcook_away I have done that on a couple of occasions :). In this case, I've been doing a lot of work on the Holds Pull List, so it makes sense to keep plugging away at it
07:52 mtompset But, kf, if you leave it for someone else to do, it won't get done as fast.
07:52 Generally speaking.
07:53 dcook_away I'll just read up on how jquery datatables works tomorrow. I almost wonder if there are spaces rather than <br> tags that jquery might interpret them as separate pieces of data and thus break them into different strings to make different options
07:53 mtompset Also, if you find it, that means the library group you are working with are probably aware of it and want it fixed yesterday.
07:53 kf mtompset: true, but undocumented bugs are super evil - documentation is the first step always
07:54 dcook_away I'm definitely in agreement with kf
07:54 kf we also encourage libraries to file bugs
07:54 mtompset Yes.
07:54 dcook_away I have a tendency to sometimes hold off on the bug report until I already have a patch
07:54 But it makes sense just to report it and then patch it when you can, even if it is immediately
07:54 mtompset Bug file first... treat bugzilla like a TODO list. :)
07:54 kf dcook_away: you can assign yourself to the bug and add a note you are working on it
07:54 dcook_away Mmm, good one, kf
07:54 kf sometimes you will miss a duplicate bug
07:55 so a bug report can prevent doubled up work
07:55 and also someone might have an idea about the problem or a solution in mind
07:55 mtompset True. marcel caught a duplicate for me. :)
07:56 Certain was glad when I realized I didn't have to do anything because the attached patch on the other looked like it included the thing I caught.
07:58 The nice thing about the bugzilla as a TODO list, someone MAY actually do part of it. :)
07:59 kf yep
07:59 you pick on more people*s minds than only your own :)
07:59 and now I have a meeting :)
08:01 dcook_away Blah...now it looks like one of my enhancements may have caused a bug..
08:01 kf_mtg good that you caught it :)
08:01 mtompset so fix it, no foul. :)
08:02 @wunder YVR
08:02 huginn mtompset: The current temperature in Marpole, Vancouver, British Columbia is 17.1°C (12:50 AM PDT on July 26, 2012). Conditions: Partly Cloudy. Humidity: 89%. Dew Point: 15.0°C. Pressure: 29.94 in 1014 hPa (Steady).
08:03 dcook_away Thanks, kf_mtg :)
08:03 mtompset That's what I thought. Isn't it after 1AM where you are, dcook_away?
08:03 dcook_away True, mtompset. Now if only I could figure it out..
08:03 I'm in Sydney, Australia :p
08:03 I don't go back to Vancouver for another 3 weeks
08:03 mtompset AH! Okay.
08:04 @wunder MNL
08:04 huginn mtompset: The current temperature in Manila, Philippines is 29.0°C (4:00 PM PHT on July 26, 2012). Conditions: Mostly Cloudy. Humidity: 74%. Dew Point: 24.0°C. Pressure: 29.71 in 1006 hPa (Steady).
08:04 magnuse @wunder boo
08:04 huginn magnuse: The current temperature in Bodo, Norway is 10.0°C (9:50 AM CEST on July 26, 2012). Conditions: Light Drizzle. Humidity: 94%. Dew Point: 9.0°C. Pressure: 30.01 in 1016 hPa (Steady).
08:04 mtompset Why does boo call up Bodo?
08:05 dcook_away Must be the code?
08:05 * dcook_away has an idea about his enhancement come bug...
08:05 * mtompset shrugs, "Probably an airport code, I guess."
08:06 dcook_away Mhm
08:06 * dcook_away dances a bit
08:06 dcook_away I'm glad that no one can see that...
08:07 mtompset Coding victory dance?
08:07 dcook_away Yep
08:07 * mtompset grins, "I like those moments too."
08:07 dcook_away I've introduced some extra JS to use the user's branch as the default filter for the hold's pull list
08:07 So you don't see all the other branch's holds right away
08:08 But I was forcing the filter before the other dropdowns were being populated
08:08 tsk tsk
08:08 So all the other dropdowns would be limited to options for the holds to pull for that library rather than all libraries
08:09 Which isn't a problem until...you choose another library to filter and then you're hooped
08:09 But yes, I like these moments :)
08:09 magnuse yeah, boo is the airport code for Bodø
08:10 mtompset @wunder NAIA
08:10 huginn mtompset: Error: No such location could be found.
08:10 dcook_away @wunder YQR
08:10 huginn dcook_away: The current temperature in Regina, Saskatchewan is 13.0°C (1:00 AM CST on July 26, 2012). Conditions: Partly Cloudy. Humidity: 100%. Dew Point: 13.0°C. Pressure: 29.90 in 1012 hPa (Rising).
08:11 dcook_away I've always liked that airport code. I assume the Q relates to the Queen...
08:12 mtompset Seems like a reasonable assumption.
08:13 dcook_away I might stay away from huginn. Around 15 years ago, I broke an IRC bot, so I've been wary of them ever since ;)
08:14 * dcook_away should be doing homework but bug fixing is too attractive...
08:23 mtompset What homework?
08:26 dcook_away I'm doing a class on developing educational programs for adult learners. Just need to wrap up my last assignment and then I'm free for another month ;)
08:26 My project is actually about developing training programs for Koha :p
08:26 mtompset Sounds like you should be talking with nengard?
08:27 dcook_away Well, the assignment is finished. I just need to include some reflective statements about the overall process at the start and end.
08:27 But I like the suggestion :)
08:27 asaurat joined #koha

08:31 * dcook_away wonders if anyone has any insight into the "createSelect" javascript method...\
08:32 mtompset I haven't dived into the javascript world yet. Sorry.
08:38 paul_p joined #koha
08:42 asaurat is it normal that the "Expected" status of a serial disappears once another status has been selected ? when a librarian chooses something else by mistake, it's impossible to come back.. would that cause problems if I allowed the Expected status to be selected again?

08:49 asaurat1 I've been disconnected, if someone answered me please repeat =)

08:50 asaurat1 or I can just check the logs :p
08:54 magnuse asaurat1: noone answered while you were away ;-(
08:54 dcook_away Sorry, I don't have an answer off the top of my head and it doesn't look like anyone else wrote anything either
08:55 magnuse to me it sounds like it would be a good thing to be able to correct mistakes, but i'm no expert on serials!
08:55 dcook_away Actually, now that I think about it...
08:56 If they've made a mistake and they want it to say "Expected", they can just delete it and "generate next" again
08:56 mtompset Sadly, I know nothing.
08:57 dcook_away I suppose the idea is that you don't want people to be able to change it to "Expected" manually, since "Expected" is changed programatically to "Late"
08:57 mtompset jcamins?
08:57 wahanui jcamins is A-Grade developper on Koha willing to rewrite it from top to bottom. Good Luck jcamins
08:58 mtompset I thought it had something in there related to serials or bibliography at some point in time. Oh well.
08:59 mib_r3iam5 joined #koha
08:59 mib_r3iam5 No holds allowed in koha search.....how it can be resolved
09:00 any body help me???????????
09:05 mtompset Sorry, I don't know enough to be able to help you.
09:05 alex_a joined #koha
09:06 mib_r3iam5 any one else?
09:07 cjh there are a few settings that need to be checked, searching for "hold" in system preferences should get them
09:07 by default you cant place holds on items that are on shelf, something like AllowOnShelfHolds
09:09 mib_r3iam5: does that help?
09:09 oh also OPACItemHolds set to allow (so patrons can place holds in the OPAC)
09:10 although that allows holds on specific items.
09:11 mib_r3iam5: within the circulation tab in system preferences there is an entire "Holds Policy" section you may need to look at.
09:14 francharb I'm looking for a zebra expert. Anyone?
09:14 It's an easy question I think
09:14 I want to use the Title-host index
09:15 magnuse francharb: try your nearest zoo?
09:15 francharb \0/
09:15 * magnuse couldn't resist the temptation ;-)
09:15 cjh heh
09:15 francharb good answer
09:15 so...
09:15 it's set up in the record.abs file
09:15 I need to add it in the ccl.properties file
09:16 I was thinking about doing this : Title-host 1=4
09:16 4 is the attribute in bib1.att for title
09:16 but it"s already used for the tifle index
09:16 Title 1=4
09:16 si my question is
09:17 can I use the same attribute for 2 differents index?
09:17 I think no but I want to be sure
09:17 :)
09:21 julian_m joined #koha
09:30 magnuse francharb: all the other mappings seem to be 1:1 i think?
09:30 i think it would be better to change record.abs, to get the data into the Title index there, if that is what you want
09:36 * dcook_away glares at the holds to pull datatable
09:36 dcook_away I finally figure out a way to break apart the "branch<br>branch" string and get it to output as separate options...
09:37 Then I realize that they're not distinct values
09:39 francharb ok magnuse, thank you

10:19 * dcook_away twitches a bit
10:25 kf shouldn't you be asleep? :)
10:28 dcook_away I should be doing homework :(
10:29 Instead of finding ways to fix the holds pull list
10:30 kf oh what are you studying?
10:31 dcook_away I've been doing a course on planning programs for adult learners
10:31 I just need to put the final touches on my final assignment, but playing with javascript is a bit more interesting ;)
10:31 tweetbot` joined #koha
10:34 kf dcook_away: I know... Koha is always more intersting than any study *sigh*
10:35 chris_n` joined #koha
10:37 dcook_away Agreed
10:37 But then I have a month off from study :)
10:38 When I head back, I need to do some required courses, an odd elective, and then courses on preservation and taxonomies for my MLIS :)
10:38 After that, I'll have my degree and I'll come back to Oz to work on Koha all the time, muahhaa
10:38 I'll be doing some work while I'm back in Canada, but the rate will definitely be slower and I won't be able to do these ridiculous nights where I procrastinate study in favour of work...

13:06 jcamins mtompset: I have four.
13:06 ago43 joined #koha
13:06 jcamins Squeeze, Wheezy, Lucid, and Precise.
13:06 mtompset Why not Maverick?
13:07 We have an ubuntu  .packages for it.
13:07 jcamins 'Cause I don't care? :P
13:07 alex_a joined #koha
13:08 mtompset I'm going to see what I can whip up in an hour.
13:08 I have to get to sleep on time tonight, as I have an appointment in the morning.
13:08 jcamins Good plan. :)
13:09 mtompset Could you save me the effort and just email me the zip file of the four source.list files? ;)
13:09 jcamins Sure.
13:10 mtj mtompset:  if its older that old-stable... we dont care (is the rule)
13:10 ie: its offically unsupported
13:10 mtompset I know, but the file exists.
13:10 mtj deleted it, even
13:11 sorry.. delete it, even?
13:11 mtompset Whose the release manager for 3.6.8?
13:11 jcamins RMaint.
13:11 mtompset and 3.8.4?
13:11 jcamins That's me.
13:11 kf ^^
13:11 jcamins rangi is 3.8.x.
13:11 mtompset I suppose if you two agree, the maverick file can be chucked. :)
13:18 drojf paul_p__: my mail client seems to screw up the patch when sending, please use only my last email with a gzipped patch for german koct translation and ignore the one before, sorry
13:19 mtompset irc logs?
13:19 wahanui irc logs are http://irc.koha-community.org/irclog/koha/
13:19 paul_p__ drojf no problem, don't worry
13:25 drojf wow that happens to every line in an attachment that starts with "From". that is annoying. either that is a "feature" of an extension i use or a bug in thunderbird/ iceweasel
13:31 oleonard Proposed revision of the sandboxes interface: http://www.screencast.com/t/Kc886n24
13:31 jcamins Nice!
13:31 oleonard++
13:34 chris_n oleonard++
13:34 drojf very nice indeed
13:34 oleonard++
13:37 kf oleonard++
13:37 very nice!
13:38 oleonard Thanks guys. I've submitted a patch directly to paul_p.
13:41 julian_m_ jcamins, sorry for the late, what do you want to know about 7419?
13:43 jcamins julian_m_: I understand you have a patch that requires signing off. :)
13:43 Well, and a follow-up adding my deduplication code.
13:44 :)
13:45 paul_p oleonard++
13:45 oleonard Anyone know how to install rangi's dashboard application for local testing?
13:46 paul_p oleonard = yes I do. I tried (although not finished yet). You have to get the bugzilla database & a config file. Will send you a mail rangi sent to me
13:46 kf mtj did it this morning - but not sure how he did it :(
13:46 oleonard Thanks paul_p
13:47 julian_m_ jcamins, no patch have been sumbitted yet for 7419, i still have to work on it
13:47 paul_p oleonard mail sent
13:47 julian_m_ jcamins, what follow-up are you talking about?
13:47 oleonard tinkering with the dashboard interface would be a nice thing to do when I should be doing other things
13:47 jcamins julian_m_: the one I haven't written yet. :)
13:47 julian_m_: I started work before I heard that you had a patch for submission.
13:47 kf oleonard: sounds like fun :)
13:47 jcamins So all the code that I wrote should be integrated to work with yours.
13:48 mtompset I am just thinking of parameters again, jcamins.
13:48 should it be --list-dir or --sources?
13:48 Do we have to force sanity on the user?
13:49 jcamins mtompset: either one is fine with me.
13:49 mtj oleonard: i'm having a go at a css theme for teh dashboard, too :)
13:49 jcamins I'll only call it from another script.
13:49 kf mtj: why are you not asleep? :)
13:50 oleonard mtj: You were successful in getting it running locally?
13:50 julian_m_ jcamins, ok, i have to leave now, i will try to rebase the patch soon, and maybe we can talk about it once the patch is submitted?
13:50 mtj yes mam, yes sir
13:50 jcamins julian_m_: do you have a sense of when you will be doing that?
13:50 I hate to duplicate your work, but I also have code.
13:51 * oleonard will not do anything with it if mtj is already working on something
13:51 julian_m_ maybe tomorrow, at last beginning of next week
13:51 mtompset Is this going to turn into the eating philosophers problem?
13:51 and everyone starves?
13:51 mtj oleonard,  cool, i'll have something sorted in a day or 3...
13:52 jcamins julian_m_: awesome!
13:52 julian_m++
13:52 julian_m_ jcamins, i have to go, see you!
13:58 wizzyrea has anyone looked at civicrm, I really like how they do their "configuration checklist"
13:58 basically "Set these things up, fool."
13:58 mtompset Are there any linux distribution names that have something other than letters in the name that we care about, jcamins?
13:58 jcamins mtompset: not to my knowledge.
13:59 mtompset I figure I should do SOME sanity checking on the parameters.
14:00 jcamins wizzyrea: I'm not seeing that. Where did you find it?
14:00 Ah, found it.
14:02 nengard: sekjal has been working on finding a Meebo alternative for UMass.
14:02 nengard well he might like my list of open source chat options :)
14:02 it's in the comments on that post
14:05 wizzyrea mtj++
14:05 oleonard drojf == Mirko? I did not put that together until now.
14:05 drojf heh. yes
14:07 mtompset You're slower than me. ;)
14:07 Not enough caffeine, I suppose. :)
14:07 wizzyrea sekjal ought to look at mibew
14:08 jcamins wizzyrea: I think the problem was bridging it to chat networks.
14:08 * oleonard suggests a visit to http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/IRC_Regulars to all who haven't already
14:09 * drojf thought he already put his name in there
14:09 drojf seems like i did not
14:10 mtompset oleonard++ # for suggesting that.
14:10 Sometimes it is hard to know what is in the wiki, because you didn't know you were to be looking for it.
14:10 wizzyrea irc regulars?
14:10 wahanui i heard irc regulars was at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/IRC_Regulars
14:10 wizzyrea :)
14:10 wahanui knows lots of thigns
14:10 wahanui wizzyrea: i'm not following you...
14:10 drojf lol
14:10 oleonard Looks like libsysguy needs to update his entry
14:11 wizzyrea but is easily confused
14:11 libsysguy heh
14:11 true
14:12 oleonard ...and some people should have their "regular" status revoked. *cough*pianohacker*cough*
14:12 * oleonard hopes he's doing well
14:12 * wizzyrea too
14:13 * libsysguy is updated
14:14 wizzyrea hm libsysguy
14:14 wahanui libsysguy is Koha's hottest developer or partying with swedes on his deck
14:14 wizzyrea if you are in there
14:14 libsysguy well
14:14 wizzyrea nuke out (lol) joetho, pianohacker
14:14 libsysguy it was updating
14:14 ok going to nuke
14:15 oleonard joetho's not working in a Koha system anymore eh wizzyrea?
14:15 wizzyrea no, sadly
14:15 libsysguy ok they are gone too
14:15 wizzyrea bg turns into bag
14:15 libsysguy now libsysguy is koha's youngest developer again!!
14:16 wizzyrea libsysguy is also koha's youngest developer
14:16 wahanui okay, wizzyrea.
14:16 wizzyrea libsysguy?
14:16 wahanui libsysguy is Koha's hottest developer or partying with swedes on his deck or koha's youngest developer
14:16 libsysguy hehe
14:16 * jcamins is not! o/
14:16 wizzyrea that's a lot of 'ests'
14:17 very good thanks libsysguy
14:17 libsysguy++
14:17 * oleonard hands libsysguy the scissors with the rounded ends
14:17 * wizzyrea giggles
14:17 libsysguy :'(
14:17 oleonard Oh man those sucked so bad didn't they?
14:17 libsysguy oleonard are those to cut out the bad code in Koha
14:18 if so, imma need a sharper pair :p
14:18 wizzyrea just remember
14:18 walk with the tips pointed towards the floor.
14:18 libsysguy and don't trip
14:18 wizzyrea don't grab the blades.
14:18 can you tell I recently had this conversation with a little person?
14:19 libsysguy haha little people scare me
14:20 mtompset You once were a little person. :P
14:21 libsysguy I was afraid of myself then too :p
14:21 actually I hated being called a little kid
14:21 mtompset jcamins, I decided to tweak the parameters a bit, but I'm not going to get to test them yet.
14:21 jcamins mtompset: take your time.
14:21 mtompset Instead of: check_deps.sh [--koha-dir=<path>] [--list-dir=<path> [--dist=<dist> --release=<release>]] [<file> [<full>]]?
14:22 --file=<file>
14:22 and --full=[01]
14:22 jcamins Why not just --full to specify full=1 and no --full to specify full=0?
14:22 mtompset that way the parsing of the parameters is a lot easier. :)
14:23 That's extra code. :P
14:23 jcamins Ah.
14:24 * chris_n upgrades to quantal to get bugfixes which should be in precise >:-(
14:24 mtompset because then I have to check if there wasn't an = and value.
14:24 jcamins Doesn't getopt do it for you?
14:24 mtompset I suppose I could have done it that way. :P
14:24 But I've never used getopt before.
14:25 * jcamins only uses it in Perl.
14:25 mtompset I was thinking of purposefully writing out a perl script from the bash script just to deal with parameters. ;)
14:25 but I decided that would be too ugly.
14:25 nengard can someone explain a bit more about the IntranetSlipPrinterJS preference? The description says to 'Define at least function printThenClose(). ' but that function isn't in the box and that seems to imply that you need that in there at the very least
14:26 jcamins mtompset: better to just use Perl in that case?
14:26 mtompset BAH!
14:27 jcamins nengard: no idea, but didn't Kyle write that?
14:27 kf nengard: best to ask mveron - but I think there is also an example on the bug
14:27 jcamins: nope, mveron's bug :)
14:27 nengard: he did write up a lot about how it works
14:27 jcamins Oh, never mind.
14:28 nengard i'll look at the bug report to see if i can figure it out
14:32 nope, no clue :)
14:32 left a comment on there
14:34 oleonard nengard it looks like there's two basic steps: Install the jsPrintSetup addon, and populate the pref
14:35 That first comment gives you an example for what to populate the pref with in Step 4
14:35 nengard THANK YOU
14:35 :)
14:35 I was missing the whole install the add on part
14:35 we should update the description on that preference to make it clearer
14:35 oleonard Hmmm... not sure about the "Choose printer using one or more of the following functions" step
14:37 kf nengard: I think you could use other addons too maybe, it allows to add custom javascript
14:37 ah never mind
14:37 * kf goes back to rebuilding her dev env and cries a little
14:38 oleonard kf: :(
14:39 kf new computer and my old vm refused migration very stubbornly
14:41 mtompset why would it do that?
14:41 * chris_n hands kf some chocolates
14:41 mtompset what's your VM ware?
14:41 kf virtualbox
14:41 wahanui i heard virtualbox was good for that sort of thing
14:41 kf but it was broken a bit since the day my computer froze while taking a snapshot
14:42 mtompset Oh.
14:42 kf I got it back running... but then I couldn't shut it down and reboot, which made things difficult
14:42 mtompset I've never had a problem transplant my VMs with virtualbox.
14:42 kf long story
14:42 starting over is probably best
14:42 only a bit painful
14:42 mtompset transplantING...
14:42 * mtompset nods.
14:46 oleonard nengard: Are you trying that now?
14:47 nengard nope ..
14:47 i'm working on the manual right now
14:47 for now i put a placeholder there for the preference

15:35 * jcamins will check.
15:35 nengard trying that
15:37 paul_p jcamins = for example, line 779- and 781+ have as last parameter '' (authtypecode), where line 780 has 'CORPO_NAME'
15:37 jcamins = sounds illogical to me to mix authtypes, so I thought it was a mistake
15:38 nengard jcamins how do i install it?
15:38 cpan perldoc didn't work
15:38 jcamins Ohhh.
15:38 nengard what's the module for apt get
15:38 jcamins nengard: use packages, always.
15:38 perldoc.
15:38 wahanui somebody said perldoc was at http://perldoc.koha-community.org for the C4 modules and more
15:38 jcamins paul_p: oh, I see.
15:38 The last parameter is not for framework but for the thesaurus to use for see also references.
15:39 nengard i'm totally lost
15:39 i see nothing related to perldoc on that page

15:49 And fixed it.
15:49 :)
15:49 paul_p yeah ! will test again immediately ;-)
15:50 jcamins Should I squash it, or attach a follow-up?
15:50 paul_p jcamins a follow-up pls
15:50 (so it will retain the initial sign-off & i'll add mine on the follow-up
15:50 jcamins Okay, that's what I figured. :)

16:34 martian523 hi, is there a way to move the titles in acquisitions to catalog?
16:34 jcamins martian523: you have to attach acquisitions records to a record in your catalog.
16:35 martian523 meaning?
16:35 jcamins martian523: when you create an acquisitions record, you are linking it to a record in your catalog. There's no "moving" involved.
16:36 martian523 but what if those are new titles that are not in the catalog yet?
16:36 i got these records from the Z39
16:37 these records got moved to the reservoir,
16:37 how can i get those records into the catalog?
16:38 jcamins You have to create a record for them. I promise, there will be a record (even if just a short one) by the time you've finished the acquisitions process.
16:38 You can use the cataloging module.
16:38 * jcamins should mention, though, that the acquisitions module always worked on actual records when he tried using it.
16:38 jcamins (not records in the reservoir)
16:40 martian523 is there an example i can refer to?
16:50 i'm kinda confused here, sorry

16:52 jcamins manual?
16:52 wahanui somebody said manual was at http://www.koha-community.org/documentation
16:53 jcamins ^^ look through the acquisitions section.
16:53 I don't generally use acquisitions.
16:53 martian523 ooh....maybe i get it now
16:53 i think i need to edit records for each title

18:06 cait martian523: do you have a specific problem?
18:09 martian523 i was using the Z39 to search for chinese books and it came back with unreadable characters
18:11 inputing new records has no problem, but retrieving records from external source has problem
18:11 jcamins martian523: your problem is the encoding you have set up for the Z39.50 server.
18:11 Change it from MARC-8 to UTF-8.
18:11 wahanui jcamins: that doesn't look right
18:11 wahanui joined #koha
18:13 jcamins (or, less likely, to a different encoding which matches that of the server you are trying to access)
18:14 martian523 hmmm...
18:18 cait hm and maybe try importing and check if it's still unreadable
18:18 I had issues with the marc preview and german umlauts lately (again)

19:50 rangi git show --word-diff=color  <-- for everybody
20:08 kathryn joined #koha
20:13 kathryn morning all
20:33 mgeist Would this be possible as a development:  in a consortium setting, make it so that all holds requests from a specific library and their patrons, are ignored, for a set time period?
20:35 rangi anything is possible :) given resources to do it :)
20:36 but yes, that would be doable, would be a decent chunk of work because it would have to be generic to be useful
20:37 mgeist Thanks, we were trying to find out if it was even feasible to try this with software changes.
20:37 rangi holds are undergoing a decent amount of change at the moment, that should make it easier than it was before
20:37 but it would still need to touch code in quite a lot of places
20:38 mgeist Oh, i will need to read up on the changes.  Is this going to be in v10?
20:38 jcamins mgeist: you might want to think, though, about what exactly your goal is.
20:38 rangi issues, returns, reports, would you need them to be hidden on the biblio record too? or maybe just greyed out
20:38 jcamins You can't do quite what you asked about, but I think once the hold rewrite stuff is done you'll be able to disallow hold requests from patrons at a particular branch (rangi, do I remember correctly that Srdjan was working on this?).
20:39 rangi you'd want to spec it up as fully as you can, and then people will be able to figure out how to do it
20:39 i like using user stories to do this
20:39 mgeist Our goal would be to limit a specific set of libraries, and their patrons, from receiving holds.  ie. If you dont share your new stuff, you cant have new stuff from other branches.
20:39 rangi 1/ librarian a places a hold from branch b
20:39 2/ something happens
20:39 3/ ???
20:39 4/ profit
20:39 mgeist lol
20:39 rangi :)
20:40 and yep srdjan (papa is his irc nick) was working on that
20:40 disallow holds
20:40 jcamins mgeist: it would not be nearly as slick as what you asked about, but it might be a good temporary option.
20:40 (in 3.10)
20:42 mgeist We hope it woudlnt have to be used for more than a month or two
20:43 rangi ahh the old carrot and stick :)
20:43 mgeist: would not letting them place holds if they are from that branch work?
20:43 its kinda the other way round
20:44 rather than stopping them receiving, they cant even ask to have them
20:44 ?
20:44 if that would work, you might be able to use that
20:44 and
20:45 koha supports holds that dont start until a certain period
20:45 so you could find all their holds in the db
20:45 and do
20:45 update reserves set startdate='2012-10-10' where branchcode='wedontshare';
20:46 so they cant place any new ones, and all the oens in the db now, dont get looked at by koha until after that date
20:46 hackery version 2
20:46 you could cron that
20:46 and juts let them place it, but have a script change the start date
20:47 (im not recommending that approach :))
20:48 mgeist Hrm, that looks like it could work.  I save off your suggestion and recommend that.
20:48 jcamins rangi: ooh, what about some jQuery that automatically sets the startdate to a ways out for users from that library?
20:48 Users with javascript blockers (or very savvy users) would get around it, but it might be easier to do, politically speaking?
20:49 rangi oh yes that would work
20:49 and the cron could run once a night
20:49 to fix any ones that sneaked past :)
20:50 mgeist: that jquery option, is probably the least work, and will most likely work the best
20:51 mgeist Oh, except, we really only want to limit their holds on items that are 2 months old or less.  Can you restrict it to that, or is it blanket no holds?
20:51 jenkins_koha Starting build #108 for job Koha_3.8.x (previous build: SUCCESS)
20:51 rangi hmmm
20:51 no
20:51 its blanket
20:52 mgeist Too bad!
20:52 rangi however you could craft sql that checks that
20:52 eg
20:52 update reserves set startdate='2012-10-10' where branchcode='wedontshare' and itemtype='newbook';
20:52 (that wont actually work, it would be more complicated than that)
20:52 but something like that may be possible
20:53 however we are getting into pretty hacky land
20:53 it depends on how permanent a solution you want this to be
20:53 and if other libraries might ever want it
20:54 mgeist Hopefully mere threats, and some actual "and this is how we would implement it" threats would work.  But we are only looking for ideas now.
20:54 jcamins You could do some fancy jQuery, I suppose.
20:54 Very fancy.
20:58 mgeist I have what i need now.  Thank you both for your assistance.
20:58 rangi no worries
