05:28 Maxie2012 Hi!  Anyone can help me with installing VirtualBox?  I want to set it up so I can install Linux Debian, Apache etc. so that I then install Koha....
05:29 How much RAM do I need....is the recommended 384RAM sufficient?
05:29 sorry...I meant 384MB RAM...
05:41 Maxie2012 joined #koha
05:43 Maxie2012 Hi!  Apologies to anyone reading my query earlier on re setting up of VirtualBox....my internet connection dropped off!
05:45 eythian Maxie2012: if you're setting it up for testing, that should be fine
05:52 @later tell tcohen I've found an issue on bug 8773, but I'm out of time to diagnose it today. Can you have a look, hopefully it's an easy fix.
05:52 huginn eythian: The operation succeeded.
05:55 fredericd eythian: just leave a comment on bug 8773
05:55 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8773 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, tomascohen, Failed QA , Add per-instance koha-index-daemon in .deb setup
05:55 fredericd and see your bug report
05:55 Maxie2012 great, thanks!
05:55 druthb joined #koha
05:55 eythian fredericd: I did that too, it's just we were discussing it earlier today, so I figured I'd provide a headsup so he knew I wouldn't be able to look at it for a while.
05:57 Maxie2012 I plan to install Debian Squeeze, which is Debian (64-bit) I'm assuming...and I guess 8GB virtual harddisk capacity is fine?
05:57 eythian Maxie2012: I find 8GB can get a bit tight, I'd suggest 15. It depends on the size of your data though.
06:00 Maxie2012 ya, I kinda felt it was a bit small...but I'm setting up VirtualBox for the first time and creating a new virtual machine, so it doesn't allow me to specify the size...guess there's another section to do that
06:01 eythian It should ask you during the process of setting up the vm
06:06 fredericd: oh, I just saw your post. A patch that adds moose as an optional dep is actually in master now
06:06 Maxie2012 It just prompts me to select between 1. Do Not Add a virtual hard drive   2.  Create a virtual hard drive now   3.  Use an existing hard drive file
06:07 eythian Maxie2012: yes, and if you create a new one it asks you for the size.
06:07 Maxie2012 ...and there's a statement above the options saying that the Recommended Size of the Hard Drive is 8GB
06:07 eythian fredericd: my plan is to add the indexing daemon as an optional dep, and when we get a feeling for what people think, we can consider pulling your daemon into Koha.
06:09 * eythian is off home now. Bye all
06:15 Maxie2012 thanks, but I just clicked on a Hide Description button and it allows me to specify the size of the hard drive!
06:22 Bye eythian
06:22 fredericd eythian: great. And thanks for your work. The new package for just the Koha dependencies is a big plus for me.
06:23 Maxie2012 oh you're still there eythian!
06:24 can I ask you before you go home.....for the hard drive file type, is VDI or VMDK the better option?
06:24 sorry to have to ask such BASIC questions

08:01 cait hi fredericd :)
08:01 fredericd cait: Is there a bug number for javascript strings non translatable?
08:01 cait hm, I think we didn't have an omnibus patch in the past - but I might be wrong
08:02 I think most were on separate bugs
08:02 fredericd 'Add to cart' on OPAC result page is not translated
08:02 cait oh, I thought it used to be
08:02 fredericd Shouldn't we have such a bug number?
08:02 cait did you try reloading the javascript? I sometimes had problems with scale files
08:02 fredericd opac-results.tt line 126
08:02 cait I think we could have an omnibus bug
08:05 fredericd bug 8968
08:05 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8968 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, NEW , JavaScript String not translatable
08:09 cait :)
08:09 fredericd: have you seen the request for slovak as a new language on pootle?
08:10 fredericd no
08:12 cait it's here: http://lists.koha-community.or[…]tober/001968.html
08:12 he writes he wants to contribute translated files - so it might be worth including them in 3.10 I think
08:13 I mean it seems they are not just starting, but there is already work done
08:16 I am not making much sense this morning :)
08:17 Maxie2012 Hi!
08:31 gerundio good morning

08:39 lamiette joined #koha

08:42 Maxie2012 I am trying to install the Debian Squeeze in VirtualBox, on my Windows 7 desktop PC.  I have managed to install the VirtualBox and am now trying to download the Debian ISO file in order for me to install Koha
08:43 cait left #koha
08:43 Maxie2012 Can someone advise me on where is the best place to go to for this...on the premise that I am on Windows 7....?
08:44 cait joined #koha
08:45 slef Maxie2012: wiki?
08:45 wahanui rumour has it wiki is http://wiki.koha-community.org
08:45 slef Maxie2012: mailing lists?
08:45 wahanui mailing lists are at http://koha-community.org/supp[…]ha-mailing-lists/
08:46 slef Maxie2012: I've not used Windows much in years. I don't know if someone else awake here might have relevant experience. If not, try looking for a guide on the wiki or askingon the mailing lists or equivalent web forums.
08:47 Maxie2012 I was actually looking for the site where I can download the Debian ISO so that I can install it via the VirtualBox
08:48 I found a link and it seems to have the ISO files for download, but there are 8 files of about 4GB each.  Do I need to download ALL 8 files?
09:02 slef Maxie2012: I doubt it. I'd expect you could just download one of the mini-install ISOs.
09:02 liw joined #koha
09:02 slef Maxie2012: but I've not checked the VirtualBox installation instructions.
09:03 (where are they?)
09:04 gerundio Maxie2012, I think the correct link for the Debian download you're looking for is http://www.debian.org/CD/http-ftp/
09:05 just choose one of them, 32 or 64 bit setup
09:05 them follow these instructions in case you have any doubt: http://www.debian.org/releases[…]ble/installmanual
09:19 Maxie2012, did those URLs help?
09:19 Maxie2012 Hi gerundio
09:20 clrh_ joined #koha
09:20 Maxie2012 I decided to take your suggestion and try to install Koha within Windows
09:21 the URLs helped a lot...I managed to install VirtualBox!
09:24 the thing is I'm now stuck on trying to download the Debian Squeeze ISO...I just managed to download a file from http://cdimage.debian.org/debi[…]ent/i386/iso-dvd/, but its in a WinZip file and I can Unzip it in Windows!
09:24 I don't think I got the right link somehow....:(
09:25 cait Maxie2012: you don't unzip isos
09:25 ah
09:26 Maxie2012 ok...that explains it
09:27 cait hm you should end up with a file that has a .iso ending
09:27 and then you use that with your virtualbox
09:27 Maxie2012 so what should I do?  I only know Windows....help!!
09:27 cait there are tutorials on the web
09:27 I would start for a basic virtualbox install linux thing and go from there once you get it running
09:27 Maxie2012 the problem is I've tried a few downloads today and none of them have a .iso ending
09:28 cait you can then start to learn a bit about linux itself
09:28 Maxie2012 what's a "basic virtualbox install linux thing"?
09:28 cait just a tutorial that will guide you for installing something with virtualbox
09:28 I am sure there is a lot on google
09:29 gerundio Maxie2012, they might have .iso ending
09:29 the problem is that probably you have hidden extensions in your windows explorer
09:30 do you see any endings (extensions) at all in any of your regular files?
09:31 follow these instructions to deactivate the "Hide extensions for known file types" setting http://windows.microsoft.com/e[…]e-name-extensions
09:31 hopefully you'll see that the file you've downloaded is indeed a .iso :D
09:32 cait gerundio: good idea :)
09:33 Maxie2012 no...I have already deactivated the Hide extensions and no .iso...
09:35 gerundio: I'll try the links you mention and try again
09:36 gerundio so if the extensions aren't hidden, tell us, what is the complete filename you see?
09:39 matts_ joined #koha
09:40 Maxie2012 it comes out at ONE zipped file with no extension, but under the File Type description it says WinZip file.....debian-6.0.6-i386-DVD-1...it also has the WinZip icon beside the filename
09:43 cait Maxie2012: winzip is not really a file format - it might be .iso is associated with the winzip software on your computer
09:44 Maxie2012 oh so sorry!!  I just realised I inactivated the wrong thing re the hidden extensions!
09:49 gerundio Maxie2012, :)
09:49 cait, are you familiar with the Calendar tool in koha?
09:49 Maxie2012 I have a .iso file....but when I try to add the downloaded disk image boot on my virtual machine (Settings and Storage on VirtualBox), TWO messages appear saying "Failed to open the CD/DVD image" and "Could not get the storage format of the medium (VERR _NOT_SUPPORTED)
09:50 cait hm a bit, but it depends what you want to know :)
09:50 gerundio I'm trying to add repeatable holidays and I got a nasty error :|
09:50 cait thre has been a lot of work done on hourly loans and related features -not so familiar with that yet
09:50 oh
09:50 which version are you looking at?
09:50 gerundio 3.8
09:50 let me paste the error, just a second
09:50 cait so what did you try and what happened?
09:51 pastebot "gerundio" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "Error while addind a repeatable holiday" (6 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/250
09:51 gerundio I just tried addind the New Year's Day as a holiday
09:51 cait did you click on "range" maybe?
09:52 gerundio in January 1st 2013
09:52 cait you want single repeated holiday, there should be 2 options to choose from
09:52 gerundio yes
09:52 my bad on choosing the wrong option
09:52 cait it shouldn't explode
09:52 gerundio I missed the "Holiday repeated yearly on the same date."
09:53 but yes, it shouldn't throw that error
09:53 cait but you will be able to add holidays - which is good. but could you maybe file a bug too for the wrong behaviour?
09:54 gerundio sure
09:56 I don't really know the severity you guys consider of each kind of bug
09:56 in this case do you find it to be blocker?
09:57 as it throws this kind of error
09:57 or despite it, since is not a major feature, the severity should be lower than that?
09:57 rangi way lower than blocker
09:57 cait hm normal I would think
09:58 rangi yeah
09:58 blocker is only for something that would stop a release
09:58 cait like losing data
10:03 slef Random aside: A bit disappointed yesterday to learn that there's a Big Ted, Hamble, Jemima and Humpty in Te Papa, which I didn't see when in NZ.
10:04 cait I wish I knew what those things are :)
10:04 ... and wish even more that I had been to Te Papa!
10:05 gerundio cait, got it :) each software as its own bug severity rules
10:05 cait probably :)
10:05 we should put some explanations somewhere easily accessible
10:05 wiki.
10:05 * cait makes a note
10:05 gerundio btw, the Component should be Tools, right?
10:06 cait, that's probably a good idea
10:06 no matter the effort we put in documentation it never seems to be enough :|
10:07 cait gerundio: if there is none for calendar or holidays - then tools :)
10:07 gerundio: true, but we can't stop trying

10:25 alex_a_ joined #koha
10:26 cait cool, thx rangi
10:33 gerundio cait, is there anyway in the koha admin interface to import serials for magazine publication for instance?
10:33 cait sorry, gerundio - not sure I understand what you want to do
10:34 gerundio ok, I'll try to explain it in more words :D
10:34 I imported some magazine records into my catalogue
10:35 for this example lets say its has a weekly release since 1992
10:35 which means I have add around 1000 entries to the 'serial' table for that magazine
10:36 right?
10:36 cait aah
10:36 ok
10:36 I am afraid that's not an easy answer
10:36 there is no iport script for serial issues
10:37 every system deals with them differently
10:37 gerundio ok
10:37 so in my case I made a dump from an existing koha installation
10:37 cait there is the history table you can use for noting holdings before using the serials module
10:37 gerundio made sure the biblionumber matched
10:37 cait ah ok
10:37 I think maybe youmissed a table if it's not working?
10:37 gerundio but somehow the serial issues are not showing up in my new koha installation
10:38 cait there are serials, subscriptions, something for the history and serialitems I think
10:38 the issues are linked to the subscription
10:39 did you get the subsciptions?
10:39 gerundio btw, can it be related to zebra indexes not being up to date yet?
10:39 the origin subscriptions table is empty
10:39 so I'm guessing that's not the case
10:41 alex_a joined #koha
10:41 cait hm
10:41 are we talking about items in the items table
10:41 or about entries in serials?
10:42 what exactly did you do? :)
10:45 gerundio I import records for the 'serials' table
10:47 imported ^
10:48 I thought that the serials would 'auto-magically' show up in the respective biblio entries in OPAC
10:48 since they are related by the biblionumber value for each record
10:48 cait gerundio: they are linked to subscriptions normally
10:49 I wonder how someone managed to add them to your old installation without
10:50 see the subscriptionid is column 3
10:50 serialid - pk of the table, bilbionumber for the record and subscriptionid for the subscription
10:50 you can only add them in the interface when you have a subscription - so if that table is empty on your other installation, something is wrong or someone changed how koha works
10:51 gerundio ok
10:51 subscriptionid is set to 2
10:52 but there's no record in the subscription table
10:52 cait ew
10:52 gerundio not in my DB nor in the origin one
10:52 cait and it does show up right on the previous opac?
10:52 Oak_ joined #koha
10:52 cait i could imagine someone testing and not cleaning up properly too
10:52 gerundio yet the series show up in the origin OPAC view
10:52 cait can you share a link?
10:53 or as creenshot?
10:57 gerundio screenshot from the previous koha setup at http://i.imgur.com/atXvs.png
10:57 cait gerundio: that's very werid
10:57 because you see it says: 1 subscription associated
10:57 gerundio cait, I can't share a link since the installations are still hidden behind firewall rules
10:58 cait it looks perfectly normal for a filled subscriptions table
10:58 gerundio I'm following you on that
10:58 weird indeed
10:58 cait on the page below should be links to other "views" of the serial data
10:58 gerundio let me check a few other things and see if I come up with a reason for this behavior
10:58 cait you should be able to see the subscription id in one of the views
11:16 gerundio cait, my bad, the subscriptions table has records
11:16 explain later :)
11:17 cait ok - so that at least makes sense now :)

12:26 rjune I'm trying to setup koha 4.10.05 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS I ran perl Makefile.PL. and did the export for the environment variables. But when I run plackup /opt/koha/etc/app.psgi I get the error "Error while loading /opt/koha/etc/app.psgi: Can't locate Koha.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /opt/koha/lib /etc/perl /usr/local/ ..." Can anybody point me in the right direction
12:27 jcamins rjune: this is a channel for Koha.
12:27 What you have is LibLime Koha.
12:27 cait good moring jcamins
12:28 rjune jcamins, Koha the ILS right
12:28 cait rjune: you can download Koha from koha-community.org
12:28 jcamins rjune: yes. You can get Koha from koha-community.org.
12:28 rjune LOL
12:28 jcamins The software you download from koha.org is a proprietary fork that no one here supports.
12:28 cait rjune: Liblime created a fork from koha that is only maintained by them - there is no community around it
12:28 the version numbering is confusing
12:28 rjune No worries. I wanted the community one.
12:28 cait the current stable release of Koha is 3.8 - soon there will be 3.10
12:29 download?
12:29 packages?
12:29 wahanui packages is at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian
12:29 cait and packages will ake your life easier :)
12:29 rjune me likey packages
12:29 I really need to learn how to package debs
12:33 jcamins rjune: it's very easy.
12:33 rjune yeah, played with it a bit, but I haven't really needed it yet.
12:34 I packaged quite a few rpms
12:34 jcamins We don't have any RPMs for Koha.
12:34 We'd love to, though.
12:34 (hint hint)
12:35 :)
12:35 rjune LOL
12:35 I'll have to setup a fedora vm to work on

13:03 cait1 joined #koha
13:03 cait1 hm
13:03 now mine dropped
13:03 rjune ok, I installed the packages. Where does it put it's apache config?
13:03 oleonard joined #koha
13:04 jcamins rjune: the usual place. /etc/apache2/sites-available
13:06 rjune jcamins, followed http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ing_Koha_packages. Nothing with koha in /etc/apache2 anywhere
13:06 gerundio from your experience what would you say is the best combo to get the most amount of covers in Koha?
13:07 jcamins rjune: you should be following the instructions that cait pointed you to.
13:07 packages?
13:07 wahanui packages is at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian
13:07 gerundio I activated the Google Books cover fetch and it's already showing up some results
13:07 jcamins gerundio: it depends on your data.
13:08 gerundio jcamins, are the various 3rd party services set to work in fail over?
13:08 rjune jcamins, then the incorrect page should probably be removed.
13:08 jcamins rjune: what are you trying to do? There shouldn't be any need to edit that.
13:08 rjune: it's correct for Lucid.
13:08 However, I agree.
13:08 gerundio: no.
13:10 gerundio ok, and is there any predefined order, alphabetical as shown in the admin interface maybe?
13:11 stefan-l left #koha
13:11 cait1 gerundio: they don't fall back, I think works probably best with only one activated
13:11 gerundio ok cait1, thanks
13:11 rjune jcamins, installing on precise. instructions are both very similar. One claims Debian, one Claims Ubuntu I went with the ubuntu ones
13:12 gerundio AWS requires an API key, right?
13:12 jcamins rjune: Lucid requires special instructions.
13:12 Precise and Debian are equivalent.
13:12 tcohen joined #koha
13:12 tcohen morning #koha
13:12 cait1 gerundio: you can get covers without I think, not sure, I would try it out
13:13 rjune jcamins, can you see how I might have made that mistake?
13:13 jcamins gerundio: you don't need an API key for covers. And if you enable more than one source, all will show up.
13:13 cait1 gerundio: also try openlibrary
13:13 jcamins rjune: oh, certainly.
13:13 * jcamins has been arguing for removing most of the installation instructions for years.
13:13 thinks they serve no useful purpose.
13:15 jcamins Unfortunately, people with more time than I have disagree, and keep on adding new pages that confuse the matter.

13:17 Installation instructions are great.
13:18 but they have to be A) maintained. and B) complete
13:18 jcamins And C) comprehensible.
13:19 rjune Like the debian instructions. "Creating the koha instance"  here's the command to create it. Now go to the admin website
13:19 Which is stupid.
13:19 oleonard Lots of work has been done on the instructions over the last few months. Is it incomplete or ineffective?
13:19 vfernandes hi guys... today happened one problem with one of my Koha instance... the items appears doesn't appear in the staff client record detail
13:19 rjune oleonard, both
13:19 jcamins oleonard: generally it has made it worse.
13:20 cait1 speaking about it... we should probably revise the INSTALL files before release?
13:20 rjune so where is the admin website? is it port 8080 someplace? is it something.domain
13:20 jcamins rjune: it's whatever you set it to several steps before.
13:20 With /etc/koha/sites.conf or whatever it is.
13:21 rjune ok, so it should be http://koha-intra.DOMAIN/ as per the docs
13:22 vfernandes anyone had this problem before?
13:22 cait1 vfernandes: hm they don't appear on the detal page in staff?
13:22 and in opac they do?
13:23 all items or only some? what has happened between them showing and them not showing?
13:23 vfernandes neither in OPAC
13:23 http://catalogo.biblioteca.isc[…]biblionumber=3185
13:24 should have 2 items
13:24 jcamins vfernandes: if I had to guess, I'd say you somehow managed to delete your items.
13:24 You're using 3.2, which means that items are stored in the MARC record.
13:25 vfernandes the records are in the MARC, i've checked the database are the items are also in the items table
13:25 cait1 jcamins: I think the detail screens go back to the item tables - so maybe worth checking the database tables?
13:25 vfernandes maybe a index problem?
13:25 jcamins cait1: oh, true.
13:25 No, nothing to do with indexing.
13:25 Indexing only affects search results.
13:26 vfernandes the items are in the database... i've already checked
13:26 cait1 http://catalogo.biblioteca.isc[…]biblionumber=3185
13:26 they are in the marc view
13:26 did you set something in opachiddenitems maybe?
13:26 or the parameter to hide damaged/lost items?
13:27 vfernandes i don't think so
13:27 yesterday was working fine
13:27 and no configuration was changed
13:27 jcamins vfernandes: something must have changed. Any idea what it was?
13:27 cait1 you could check action_logs if someone hcanged preferences since yesterday :)
13:27 jcamins ^^ good idea
13:28 cait1 vfernandes: hm this is unimarc, right?
13:28 vfernandes yes
13:28 cait1 yes, title in 200
13:29 hm I owuld still think something like opachiddenitems
13:29 there seems to be nothing in opacuserjs causing this, so it's koha somehow doing it
13:30 vfernandes the last change on system preferences was at 2012-07-16
13:30 cait1 ohhm.
13:31 jcamins: any other ideas? :(
13:31 vfernandes it looks like it's a mysql connection problem
13:31 cait1 the result lists show the items too
13:31 vfernandes the database is in another server
13:32 cait1 and the marc views do
13:32 hm but there are other things pulled from the database
13:32 that look ok
13:33 jcamins vfernandes: the whole record is getting pulled from the database.

13:42 so I don't know the disk space left

13:44 jcamins vfernandes: that's my guess based on the fact that MySQL can't write to disk.

13:45 If that's the case, you should shut it down _immediately_.

14:41 Can Koha automatically pull covers from someplace, say amazon? or does that have to be done manually?

15:30 koyauni hi koha, does any one know why my search result give NO TITLE when list the search please? http://library.koyauniversity.[…]arch.pl?q=English
15:39 oleonard No suggestions for koyauni? I have no idea.
15:40 gmcharlt koyauni: at first glance it might be a defect in your MARC frameworks which somehow aren't mapping the 245$a to biblio.title
15:40 reiveune bye
15:40 reiveune left #koha
15:40 gmcharlt that seems a little odd, though
15:41 jcamins koyauni: try reindexing.
15:41 koha-rebuild-zebra --full library
15:41 gmcharlt turning on the OPACXSLTResultsDisplay syspref would be another way of working around the problem
15:41 cait1 it could also be that the wrong marc format is selected
15:41 because marc21 has title in 245$a and unimarc in 200$a
15:41 jcamins gmcharlt: I suspect the problem will still exist there.
15:41 cait1 ah, but detail pages are correct
15:42 jcamins This is probably the result of a Zebra configuration that was mangled.
15:42 gmcharlt cait1: yeah, but the author is being displayed correctly
15:42 cait1 gmcharlt: you are right, and detail pages too
15:42 gmcharlt and opac-showmarc.pl in koyauni's catalog is showing MARC21 tagging
15:42 cait1 yeah, so zebra?
15:43 jcamins gmcharlt: the title thing happens if you've screwed up your indexes by manually editing them.
15:43 It's always just title.
15:47 Sadly if a reindex doesn't fix it, I have no idea what the next step is.
15:48 drojf i'm sure you will figure it out
15:48 koyauni I am re-indexing, but it use to work perfectly for Latin character I amnot sure what has happened
15:49 jcamins drojf: not today I won't.
15:49 Something you changed caused problems.
15:49 drojf i migh guess "icu"
15:49 might
15:50 koyauni reindexing did not help, so I check other suggestion here,
15:51 where do I find this OPACXSLTResultsDisplay please
15:51 gmcharlt koyauni: it's one of the OPAC system preferences
15:51 you can change it in the staff interface by going to Administration | Global system preferences
15:55 koyauni is default OK as setting
15:55 for OPACXSLTResultsDisplay
15:56 gmcharlt koyauni: yep
15:56 koyauni there we go it works now :)
15:59 I am still struggling with listing and indexing no Latin character in the search result, no one on the network seams to know how to fix it :(

19:00 rangi morning
19:01 oleonard Hi rangi
19:01 When adding an item upon ordering, why is there no relation between the "Cost, normal purchase price" field and the "vendor price" in accounting details?
19:02 Or do I misunderstand how it works?
19:05 rangi i used to know how it worked, so many people have 'fixed' it since then, i have no idea anymore
19:07 oleonard nengard: When you add items upon ordering the booksellerid column in items is automatically filled with the vendor id?
19:08 nengard nope, only after you receive
19:08 when you receive the price, replacement price and vendor are filled in
19:08 oleonard Okay, but eventually you end up with a numeric value in items.booksellerid which corresponds to the vendor id?
19:09 nengard the vendor id is entered when you receive ? sorry ? not the vendor name
19:09 the name is never entered in the holdings table
19:10 oleonard And items.booksellerid is a numeric value which corresponds to the vendor id?
19:10 nengard i'm kind of jet lagged, but what I'm saying is that the vendor ID should be in the items table in the db - but the name should show in the staff client for those who don't memorize ids
19:10 yes, it is and it should be
19:12 just like it shows the collection code description instead of the collection code
19:12 and the lost description instead of the lost authorized value
19:12 oleonard What is to prevent someone from typing a vendor name into "e - Source of acquisition" when adding the item?
19:13 nengard nothing
19:13 and there shouldn't be anything preventing that
19:13 some people use it for things like 'gift' or 'donation'
19:13 oleonard Then how is Koha to know whether the value there is a vendor id or a text string which shouldn't be formatted?
19:13 nengard good question
19:13 how does it know on the items tab
19:13 oleonard I assume it doesn't
19:14 nengard see //cgi-bin/koha/catalogue/mo​redetail.pl?biblionumber=4
19:14 it shows the name not the id
19:14 that's what was confusing the libraries who asked me to report that
19:15 oleonard I can't follow that link nengard
19:15 nengard hehe
19:15 i know that, i meant on your system - the items tab on the bib record ? i really shouldn't be talking today
19:18 i think i need to go lay down ? and maybe tomorrow i can be clearer about what we're looking for
19:19 oleonard I see what you mean nengard
19:19 nengard whew :)
19:19 oleonard ...but that page pulls the vendor information directly from acquisitions tables based on the item number
19:19 nengard i figured
19:19 oleonard So it's not showing information based on items.booksellerid
19:21 nengard so it's not possible
19:23 oleonard I neither understand how your records are getting a vendor id into items.booksellerid or can imagine how you would accommodate manual entry in other cases
19:23 rangi mtj: you could edit your reply to his reply too
19:23 you just sent a 38k mail :)
19:23 oleonard mtj: And revise the subject line?
19:27 mtj yeah, i guess i was attempting to show by example, why its a bad thing to do
19:28 rangi ahh, im not sure that will work
19:28 mtj … but the subtlety of my point is probably lost

19:51 jcamins_away There we go.
19:51 * oleonard is still perplexed by Bug 8710
19:51 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=8710 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, oleonard, NEW , Do not show the images tab in the OPAC if the record has no local cover images
19:52 oleonard sub ListImagesForBiblio returns undef if no images are found, but "$template->{VARS}->{localimages} = \@images;" is passing *something* to the template which is evaluating as true
19:54 jcamins_away Hmm.
19:54 That's...
19:54 weird.
19:54 Check localimages.size?
19:55 [% IF ( localimages.size ) %]?
19:55 oleonard localimages.size = 1
19:55 jcamins_away Really?
19:55 * oleonard swears
19:55 jcamins_away That's...
19:56 Really, really weird.
20:01 tcohen joined #koha
20:02 oleonard Uh-yup.
20:11 jcamins_away: What about changing ListImagesForBiblio so that it returns @imagenumbers in all cases, rather than returning undef?
20:12 I see other examples which simply "return $sth->fetchrow_hashref();"
20:12 jcamins_away oleonard: Makes sense to me.
20:14 oleonard: but fetchrow_hashref will only return a single image.
20:15 oleonard Sorry, bad example
20:15 * oleonard will tinker more tomorrow
20:15 oleonard Bye #koha
