00:39 Manderson joined #koha
01:01 papa joined #koha
01:19 mmm45 joined #koha
01:19 mmm45 hello
01:20 i visited here for some help on Friday and I was given this command:  UPDATE `koha`.`aqinvoices` SET `invoicenumber` = '<num>' WHERE   `aqinvoices`.`invoiceid` = <id>;
01:20 to change an incorrect invoice number
01:21 the problem is that i do not appear to have an aqinvoices table
01:21 right now i using koha v 3.09 (working on moving away from this version)
01:22 is there another equivalent table in this particular version?
01:26 trea so what do you see when you run show tables ?
01:28 mmm45 these are in the aq listing
01:28 | aqbasket                               | | aqbasketgroups                         | | aqbooksellers                          | | aqbudgetperiods                        | | aqbudgets                              | | aqbudgets_planning                     | | aqcontract                             | | aqorderdelivery                        | | aqorders
01:29 and aqorders_items
01:38 wizzyrea well aqinvoices is definitely in 3.10
01:38 the first question?
01:38 wahanui "What are you trying to do?" or "What is the goal?"
01:39 mmm45 right now my library is using 3.09 and one of the librarians made a mistake with some invoices
01:39 wizzyrea so it must be a feature that was introduced between when you got your clone of 3.09
01:39 mmm45 with our version there is no way to change that without using mysql
01:39 wizzyrea because 3.09 isn't a released version
01:40 sorry, between when you got your clone, and when 3.10 was released
01:40 mmm45 right, i believe i was told 3.09 is a dev version
01:41 wizzyrea yep it is
01:41 so the real question is - where is the data you need to fix kept.
01:42 mmm45 exactly :-(
01:42 i am about to go mental
01:51 Zeki joined #koha
01:51 Zeki Hi
01:51 dood morning
01:51 good morning
01:51 i have a problem with crontab setting
01:52 anyone can help about it?
01:55 eythian ask?
01:55 wahanui Don't ask to ask, just ask.
01:57 Zeki sure,
01:57 I am using ubuntu server with koha 3.10.01
01:58 when I add a book into catolog zebra indexing not doing automaticly
01:58 I need to manually it
01:59 eythian how have you installed koha?
01:59 Zeki I followed the installation
01:59 http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]_ubuntu_-_tarball
02:00 eythian ah, I'm not too familiar with the tarball method. But you should check to make sure the cronjob is set up exactly according to the instructions
02:00 Zeki then I have these errors in the syslog
02:02 pastebot "Zeki" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "Jan 7 09:41:01 src-library CRO" (9 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/344
02:02 Zeki I followed exactly
02:03 when i use this script " /usr/share/koha/bin/migrat​ion_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl –v –b –a
02:03 manually books can be added into catolog
02:04 eythian OK, so there's two problems there. One is that you don't have an MTA, so the errors from cron are going away, and the other is that I don't think you have followed the instructions exactly, as your cron jobs are running twice: once as user tuyan and once as user root.
02:04 Zeki yeah
02:04 eythian But if you install an configure an MTA then you will get the error messages for at least some of it.
02:05 Zeki what do I need  to do?
02:05 wizzyrea I suspect that when it runs as root, it's overwriting the permissions
02:05 or when it's running as tuyan it's overwriting the permissions on the indexes
02:05 eythian yes, I would expect something like that to happen.
02:06 Zeki yeah
02:06 eythian Zeki: what user should koha be running as? Normally it's 'koha'
02:06 Zeki yes koha
02:06 wizzyrea so what you need to do
02:06 is eliminate the cronjobs from both user tuyan and root
02:07 and re-enable them as user koha
02:07 then make sure the indexes are owned by koha:koha
02:07 eythian http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]re_Zebra_Indexing
02:08 Zeki ok.
02:08 can I check with you about this?
02:08 i saw the crontab setting in this folder" /var/spool/cron/crontabs"
02:08 is it correct one?
02:09 wizzyrea do you actually have a koha user?
02:09 Zeki yes I do
02:09 eythian Zeki: the instructions I linked tell you where to set it up
02:10 wizzyrea /etc/cron.d/koha
02:10 pastebot "Zeki" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "Configure Zebra Indexing Add a" (13 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/345
02:10 Zeki because when I follow this instruction
02:10 wizzyrea did you read the text below that
02:11 Zeki crontab setting is created in this folder " /etc/cron.d/koha
02:11 wizzyrea you didn't crontab -e as root?
02:11 for example?
02:11 (you wouldn't want to do that)
02:12 eythian Zeki: it is correct for it to be in that file.
02:13 Zeki but I think this file doing nothing "dont /etc/cron.d/koha
02:13 but I think this file doing nothing in this folder" /etc/cron.d/koha
02:13 eythian why would you think that?
02:13 Zeki because in syslog there is nothing related with that file
02:14 eythian the cron daemon will find things in there. If you have a look, you'll see lots of applications put their stuff there.
02:14 Zeki I tried changed scrpit in file nothing happen
02:15 eythian you don't have an MTA set up anyway, so you wouldn't have got any error messages.
02:15 Zeki but when I changed in this folder file " /var/spool/cron/crontabs"
02:15 setting i can see some changes in syslog
02:15 eythian yeah, when you changed that, you started doing things differently and process will run with the wrong user ids.
02:16 wizzyrea ^^
02:16 Zeki yeah I understand it
02:18 eythian trust me, in any normal system, putting files in /etc/cron.d/something will work.
02:18 Zeki but look this file "/etc/cron.d/koha "no effect
02:18 eythian it's how it's done on all the systems we use.
02:18 If for some reason your system is being strange, you can edit /etc/crontab directly and put things in there.
02:19 But you really really shouldn't have to.
02:20 Zeki yeah
02:21 eythian It's not recommended that you alter /var/spool/cronjobs/* directly.
02:21 or at all for Koha stuff
02:21 pastebot "Zeki" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "# /etc/crontab: system-wide cr" (15 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/346
02:21 Zeki my crontac setting this
02:21 my crontab setting this
02:22 eythian that's a standard crontab, yes
02:22 I would remove the rebuild_zebra lines from the crontabs you've put it in first though
02:22 otherwise you _will_ have problems.
02:23 Zeki yeah
02:24 pastebot "Zeki" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "# The cronjobs -- $KOHA_PATH i" (7 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/347
02:24 eythian that won't work
02:24 Zeki this one is "/etc/cron.d/koha
02:24 eythian because you have two lines where there should be one
02:24 */5 * * * * koha
02:24 $KOHA_PATH/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -z &> /dev/null
02:24 that should be one line
02:25 Zeki yeah ok
02:25 papa joined #koha
02:25 eythian probably why you had no results from it
02:27 Zeki I also tried one line before
02:27 But didnt do anything
02:27 but Ok I changed it one line again
02:27 eythian keep in mind it runs once every 5 minutes, so you'd have to wait a little bit for it
02:27 Zeki yes
02:28 eythian you'll also need to check the permissions on your zebra indexes. If root has been doing things with it, they're probably wrong.
02:29 Zeki when I use koha user, i can run the manual script without error
02:29 eythian OK, that's a good sign then
02:34 Zeki I am trying it now, adding a new book into catalog
02:35 wizzyrea do remember that it takes a few minutes
02:36 Zeki yes I will wait
02:38 papa joined #koha
02:44 pastebot "Zeki" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "Jan 7 10:42:01 src-library cro" (5 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/348
02:44 Zeki now giving different error
02:45 so I am not sure what is going on with this crontab
02:46 eythian that is not ideal
02:46 wizzyrea looks like your zebra is dying.
02:47 Zeki what?
02:47 It is a new installation
02:47 eythian what does "apt-cache policy idzebra-2.0-utils" say?
02:48 yeah, it's still pretty clearly your zebra indexer dying
02:48 wizzyrea i would guess permissions
02:49 pastebot "Zeki" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "tuyan@src-library:~$ apt-cache" (8 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/349
02:49 Zeki it says this
02:49 eythian hmm, that looks normal enough.
02:50 Zeki so, what do i need to look/check?
02:51 wizzyrea http://lists.katipo.co.nz/publ[…]April/023613.html
02:51 you have enough space on the drive, you have enough memory in the machine
02:52 Zeki yes
02:52 2 GB memory and 500GB HDD
02:53 eythian how many records in your catalogue?
02:53 although, it's a bit odd that it works when you do it by hand
02:53 Zeki less than 10
02:53 eythian heh that should be OK then
02:53 wizzyrea hehe yea
02:55 Zeki just now I mentioned my koha 3.10.01
02:56 maybe it is some different than earlier version?
02:56 eythian When you run it by hand, what's the whole output, including the commands you enter?
02:56 no, zebra and koha are different programs
02:56 koha just uses zebra
02:57 pastebot "Zeki" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "koha@src-library:/home/tuyan$" (28 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/350
02:58 Zeki this is manual entry and result
02:59 eythian that looks more or less normal.
02:59 wizzyrea you are running that as user tuyan?
02:59 eythian oh wait
02:59 yeah
02:59 that's not right
02:59 wizzyrea you told cron to run the commands as user koha
02:59 do you have a system user koha?
02:59 at least you told it to run it as koha if you followed the directions
03:00 whoami will tell you who you are currently logged in as
03:01 oh no, eythian it says "koha@src-library
03:01 eythian oh right
03:01 wizzyrea so yea, he's logged in as koha
03:01 eythian so, that does look normal then
03:01 wizzyrea yep
03:01 eythian Might be worth adding a -r in there too
03:01 Zeki where ?
03:01 wizzyrea at the end
03:01 Zeki ok
03:02 eythian it forces it to rebuild everything
03:02 wizzyrea (with the proper users and everything, if they're wrong, right?)
03:03 eythian no, if the users are wrong, I'd expect it to die, but it should die with a useful error message.
03:03 mind you, it might be worth checking
03:03 wizzyrea i mean, if the current index files are say, owned by the wrong user)
03:04 a -r would create new ones with the current user
03:04 or is that wrong.
03:04 eythian zebra is usually good about printing an obscure message if things go wrong like that
03:04 wizzyrea lol :)
03:04 eythian no, it wouldn't be able to overwrite them most likely
03:05 pastebot "Zeki" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "Jan 7 11:03:01 src-library cro" (7 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/351
03:05 Zeki looks same kind of error
03:06 eythian yeah
03:06 Zeki then now interestingliy I can not see any book from OPAC access
03:06 eythian that's not surprising
03:06 wizzyrea yea not surprising.
03:06 Zeki before I can see the indexed book
03:06 eythian oh, I meant to add it to the end of the command line when doing it by hand rather than to the cron job
03:07 but I'm still perplexed as to why  there'd be a difference running it one way vs. the other
03:07 unless it's something like a RAM failure
03:07 Zeki yeah
03:07 wizzyrea a segfault might actually suggest that
03:07 other koha users that have had similar things
03:07 indicate that increasing RAM fixed it
03:08 eythian yeah, which could well have been done by replacing a RAM chip, fixing the issue
03:08 wizzyrea 2GB should be fine
03:08 i mean, for 10 records you could have 512MB and it'd be fine.
03:08 less
03:11 Zeki I was different OS in this server before without any problem
03:11 I was using different OS in this server before without any problem
03:12 I think memory is fine
03:14 eythian http://www.indexdata.com/torus/install.html <-- you might be able to use a newer version of zebra from here
03:15 Zeki yeah. I will check it
03:15 I saw in this forum http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.[…]TS-td5721448.html
03:16 looks he has similar forum
03:16 pastebot "Zeki" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "The reason I'me in some doubt" (45 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/352
03:17 Zeki he suggested that this
03:18 so I am not sure "/etc/cron.d/koha" is working or not
03:18 eythian I would recommend following his instructions
03:18 they are not right
03:18 jcamins_away Would *not* recommend following.
03:18 eythian sorry yes
03:19 jcamins_away I'm just wandering by and leaving again momentarily, but if you have two conflicting cron jobs, no amount of fiddling is going to make them work. You need to only have one set of cron jobs.
03:19 eythian I think he's fixed the multiple cronjobs issue now.
03:19 (right, Zeki?)
03:19 Zeki yes
03:19 and he disable /etc/cron.d/koha
03:20 jcamins_away Oh, the message in that paste was from someone who ignored our instructions and set up cron jobs in two different ways.
03:20 Never mind then.
03:20 * jcamins_away leaves again.
03:21 Zeki sorry what do i need to do?
03:22 eythian I would recommend trying a different version of zebra
03:23 My only thought is there's an issue in the 32-bit version in Ubuntu (typically people run Debian and 64-bit)
03:27 Zeki yeah
03:28 I am going to reboot my system
03:28 I am going to reboot my server
03:42 hi
03:43 I restarted ny server
03:43 still I have same problem
03:44 and a new problem I am not able see books name from OPAC interface
03:44 what do I have to do ?
03:44 eythian 1) check the permissions on the zebra indexes to make sure they are koha:koha, 2) try a different version of zebra, 3) run diagnostics on the server to see if there's a hardware fault.
03:44 0) manually reindexing zebra will get your searches back
03:45 Zeki I tried manually zebra indexing
03:45 I cannot see any book from OPAC interface
03:46 eythian is your zebra server process running?
03:47 Zeki I am running one time manual script
04:05 after running the manually scripy I am able to see books from OPAC interface
04:08 still first problem continue, when add a new book into catalog, zebra indexing not update by crontab
04:09 anyone arround?
04:09 Zeki joined #koha
04:09 Zeki anyone arround?
04:11 eythian have you checked the permissions onthe zebra indexes?
04:12 Zeki in this folder"/etc/koha/zebradb"
04:12 eythian I don't know where the indexes live in a tarball installation, but I doubt that it's there.
04:13 I could be wrong though
04:13 Zeki this folder "/etc/koha/zebradb" ovener and group is koha
04:13 eythian that is not the correct place
04:14 /var/lib/koha is more likely
04:14 Zeki which folder?
04:14 eythian /var/lib/koha
04:14 wahanui /var/lib/koha is more likely
04:14 eythian wahanui: botsnack
04:14 wahanui :)
04:15 Zeki this folder "/var/lib/koha/zebradb" owner and group is koha
04:15 eythian and what about all the files inside it
04:15 ?
04:16 Zeki there are 2 main folder under "/var/lib/koha/zebradb
04:16 eythian look at all the files.
04:17 Zeki "/var/lib/koha/zebradb/biblios
04:17 "/var/lib/koha/zebradb/authorities
04:17 under authorities all files koha
04:18 under "/var/lib/koha/zebradb/biblios/register" some file belong to root
04:18 eythian yeah, that's bad.
04:18 Zeki so do you want me to change all of them koha?
04:19 eythian Yes.
04:19 Zeki ok
04:24 all changed
04:24 syslog ishttp://mibpaste.com/tFlyoV
04:24 eythian now see if that helps.
04:24 it might, it might not.
04:24 pastebot "Zeki" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "Jan 7 12:23:01 src-library CRO" (2 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/353
04:25 eythian I guess it won't help then.
04:25 Zeki looks didnt help
04:27 so any other place i check?
04:27 eythian continue trying the steps I mentioned about 45 minutes ago.
04:28 Zeki I checked this http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]_ubuntu_-_tarball
04:28 many times
04:28 eythian <eythian> 1) check the permissions on the zebra indexes to make sure they are koha:koha, 2) try a different version of zebra, 3) run diagnostics on the server to see if there's a hardware fault.
04:29 Zeki only I can see this instruction for koha 3.8
04:30 yeah
04:30 different version of zebra ?
04:31 is there any easy setup?
04:31 because I am very new on ubuntu
04:32 eythian I sent you the documentation about it an hour or two ago
04:32 you'll have to have a look back through the history because I have to go now.
04:32 Zeki yeah
04:32 ok thanks eythian

05:21 do you know it?
05:21 wahanui i think it is misc/bin/updatedb.pl

05:22 Zeki I have this problem
05:23 when I use "($KOHA_PATH/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -v -b -a >/dev/null 2>&1)
05:23 this script give tis error
05:24 if I use ($KOHA_PATH/bin/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -z -b -a >/dev/null 2>&1)
05:24 do nothing
05:24 no error
05:25 if I use "-v  " with error
05:25 "-z " no error
05:26 both them not doing the auto indexing
05:26 so do you have any idea?
05:26 wahanui so is a long road.
05:27 Zeki Ok. I can explain my system.
05:27 I am using Ubutu server 12.04 with koha 3.10.01
05:27 followed this installation
05:27 http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]_ubuntu_-_tarball
05:29 when I add a book into catalog, crontab zebraindexing not showing it. (not adding automaticly into zebra index)
05:29 but when I use manual zebra indexing script "/usr/share/koha/bin/migrat​ion_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl –v –b –a" it adds into zebra index
05:30 so this is my problem?
05:32 any idea?

09:51 kf H: the date range search builds on the publication year in the control fields
09:51 not on 260$c
09:51 so when you don't have the data catalogued with that information, it won't work
09:51 H ah
09:51 kf 007? 008? I always confuse
09:51 H and the control field is number ?
09:52 kf let me look it up
09:53 I think it's 008 7-10
09:55 H oeps
09:58 so every time i fill in new title i have to edit 008 also ?

14:23 vfernandes hello
14:24 how to change from grs1 to dom indexing?
14:24 it's possible?
14:25 because in 3.2 dom indexing for authorities wasn't working but in 3.8 I think there is full support
14:25 jcamins_away vfernandes: it is, but I am actually just on my way out to head into the city so I can't walk you through it at the moment. If no one else does, I'll be back in about an hour.
14:26 vfernandes ok thanks jcamins...
14:29 kf vfernandes: not sure I knwo how to do it - so you probably better wait for jcamins_away

15:42 gerundio we had to reboot our koha server and now I'm getting [Permission denied] errors from zebra
15:43 kf ah
15:43 missing directories?
15:43 what's the exact error?
15:43 or did you run the rebuild script as sudo maybe after restarting
15:43 ?
15:44 pastebot "gerundio" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "Zebra write errors" (8 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/355
15:44 gerundio didn't do anything after the reboot
15:44 the file mentioned there exists but it's owned by root with 644 permissions
15:45 so that explains the write permission error for the koha user
15:45 but I still don't understand the origin of it
15:47 kf hm I am not sure either
15:48 but I think easy to fix at least
15:48 normally file permissions only go wrong for me, when I accidentally run the rebuild script as root user
15:53 jcamins_away gerundio: are you using a disk-backed ramdisk for /var?
15:54 gerundio not that I know of
15:54 mount doesn't show anything for /var
15:55 jcamins In that case, I have no idea how it could have happened.
15:56 gerundio any idea how to fix it?
15:56 is it harmless to change the ownership of the file mentioned in there?
15:57 kf gerundio: you should change the ownership
15:57 to your koah user
15:57 gerundio of the whole /var/lib/koha/zebradb/biblios/register/ dir?
15:57 jcamins Yes.
15:57 chown -R koha:koha /var/lib/koha/zebradb
15:58 gerundio done
15:58 all other dirs in the same tree level have koha as owner
15:59 lets see if the cron runs without any fuss now :)

16:03 gerundio the "Missing attribute 'type' in attribute info" is a regular though

17:37 gerundio to perform a full zebra reindex I just have to run the script "rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -z >/dev/null" without the -z option, right?
17:37 jcamins No.
17:38 You need to replace -z with -r
17:38 Without the -r, it will do a full index, but not a reindex, which means that you can end up with stale data if your indexes are at all out of sync.
17:39 gerundio hmmm, not sure I understood what you meant :|
17:40 what's the difference between reindex and full index?
17:41 last week, after out talk, we reached a conclusion that I might have broken indexes
17:41 so the way to go would be to perform a reindex
17:41 right?
17:42 ok, but I see your point
17:42 the -r option clears the Zebra index, which is what I want
17:42 thanks

17:47 vfernandes people it's possible to have in OPAC main block syspref controll?
17:48 jcamins vfernandes: you can edit it with OpacUserMain.
17:48 Is that what you mean?
17:48 oleonard OpacMainUserBlock
17:49 jcamins ^^ what oleonard said
17:50 vfernandes yes but it's possible to do template controll [% IF ( .... ) %]?
17:50 oleonard I don't think so. Easy to test though.
17:51 vfernandes i tested bu it didn't work... i tought that could be a workaroud
17:52 cait vfernandes: what are you trying to do?
17:53 vfernandes [% IF ( OpacTopissue ) %]<span class="pipe"> | </span><a href="/cgi-bin/koha/opac-topissues.pl">Most popular</a>[% END %]

17:53 maybe you can do it with css/js
17:54 vfernandes I want to put a link for the suggestions but only appears if active
17:54 cait ah
17:55 you could check that the the login thing is not there with jquery and hide/display the link accordingly I think

19:21 jcamins Yeah.
19:23 oleonard "We want to be a paid support vendor, is it possible to be paid to support Koha?"
19:24 jcamins My experience says "yes, but not if you have to ask that question."
19:25 bag ikr
19:27 oleonard How about this job opening on the Ohio libraries mailing list. Requirements: "Windows XP/OS7; Server 2003/2008; Active Directory; Group Policy; MSOffice; software loads; hardware builds/chipsets; internet protocols and security; networks; Html; Analytics; Adobe CS3 or CS5; tablets, eReaders and Apple products; Digital Imaging; knowledge of databases."
19:27 $11/hr.
19:28 jcamins Wait, really? Chipsets?
19:28 Shouldn't they just buy pre-built systems?
19:32 oleonard They need to hire a tech guy to be able to tell them that
19:32 Unfortunately, for $11/hr...
19:34 jcamins oleonard: you're not rushing out to apply for that job? I was thinking it must be in an area which hasn't seen any inflation since... a very long time ago.
19:37 oleonard It's at a historical society, so the compensation is probably based on historical rates.
19:37 jcamins lol
19:37 Ah, that explains it.
19:38 * wizzyrea waves

19:39 jcamins oleonard: were they founded in the 1970s?
19:39 wizzyrea ooh, OS7!
19:39 people still run that?
19:39 or do they mean windows 7
19:40 and not macos 7
19:40 sounds like they had a geek of last resort and they are trying to replace him/her
19:40 jcamins Probably Windows 7, I think.
19:51 bag greg you around?
19:51 rambutan here
19:51 bag hey

20:06 cait_away here now
20:06 well sort of
20:09 don't say I missed wizzyrea now...

20:09 * jcamins gives cait_away a disapproving glance.
20:09 jcamins Shouldn't you be reading?

20:09 wizzyrea no no
20:09 cait_away totally reading
20:09 wizzyrea I'm here
20:10 but if you are reading then my question can wait :)
20:10 oleonard Poor cait_away, always being bossed around by people here!

20:11 cait_away wizzyrea: now I can't concentrate on reading  until you ask :)
20:11 wizzyrea lol dammit. ok
20:11 serials >.> do you use routing lists much?
20:13 jcamins I think I would like to learn Latvian.
20:13 cait_away wizzyrea: not at all, but I did show people how they work.. if that helps
20:14 jcamins Wait... it's tonal. That might make it difficult.
20:14 cait_away why woudl you want to learn latvian?
20:14 wizzyrea: will you know finally tell me your question? :P
20:15 wizzyrea well I was wondering if the routing messages worked
20:15 and when they got sent
20:16 routing messages, not routing holds.
20:17 cait_away ah
20:17 yes
20:18 hm
20:18 there are no routing messages
20:18 well, the messages are not related to the routing lists is a better description
20:18 there is a way that opac users can subscribe to messages
20:18 wizzyrea ah, and none of this is in the manual :/
20:18 oh!
20:18 hmm.
20:18 cait_away so they get an email every time a new issue is received
20:18 which is nice
20:19 wizzyrea can librarians create a list, and put patrons on it
20:19 cait_away in order for that to happen
20:19 wizzyrea from the back in
20:19 end?
20:19 wahanui i guess end is like "lily?" or no?
20:19 wizzyrea forget end
20:19 wahanui wizzyrea: I forgot end
20:19 cait_away you have to set a notice template in the subscription
20:19 wizzyrea right - have that
20:19 cait_away it can have any name, but the sample is unfortunately named routinglist
20:19 so you can have different templates even for different serials
20:19 or libraries or whatever
20:19 wizzyrea right ok
20:20 cait_away the link to subscribe is a bit hidden
20:20 wizzyrea but it doesn't have anything to do with the serials routing lists
20:20 cait_away it's in one of the views in opac, but not in normal, in the second I tihnk
20:20 and no, there is currently no way to add people from the backend I think
20:20 but I created a link at the subscription that makes you see who has subscribed to alerts
20:20 so maybe it could be added to that page
20:20 wizzyrea well that completely explains why no one was getting messages :P
20:21 * wizzyrea looks
20:21 cait_away well, I did create the link - the feature was already there, it got lost and I found it by coincidence
20:21 there is a lot of that in serials
20:21 wizzyrea cait++
20:21 cait_away and routing lists used to work differently, you should ask rangi, but it might make him grumpy
20:21 wizzyrea well yes.
20:21 cait_away I tihnk a lot of functionality there got partially broken at some point
20:22 like automatic holds with routing lists
20:22 wizzyrea *cough*MARC SUPPORT*cough*
20:22 cait_away totally broken.
20:22 not sure
20:22 I have filed bug reports
20:22 for holds and routing lists
20:22 wizzyrea ok you said there was a link? do you have to turn it on?
20:22 cait_away it will show up when the first patron subscribes I think
20:23 create a serial, make sure the template for routing is filled (we should really change the description there), subscribe from the opac, go back to the subscription detail page
20:23 wizzyrea OH. ok.... sec
20:24 barriers joined #koha
20:27 cait_away hm reading back... hope that all made sense
20:29 wizzyrea hm I don't see the place to subscribe to the serial
20:29 in the OPAC
20:30 cait_away hm
20:30 wait a min
20:31 more details
20:31 subscription tab > more details link
20:31 jcamins Have I commented before that it's impossible to find that?
20:32 wizzyrea i don't see it - yet. but...
20:32 cait_away jcamins: yeah, the placing is a bit bad
20:32 i think it would work better if you use the brief history as your normal view maybe
20:33 wizzyrea: still nothing?
20:33 wahanui nothing is a requirement, we have guidelines though
20:33 cait_away i think it should appear here: https://hfjs.bsz-bw.de/cgi-bin[…]biblionumber=5970
20:33 but I think this library isn't using them
20:33 wizzyrea do you have to enable it somehow?
20:33 in the serial?
20:33 cait_away hm
20:33 putting in a template should be enough
20:34 in the subscription
20:34 wizzyrea un mo
20:34 cait_away oh wait a sec
20:34 hm, ah no. we don't have that in the wiki yet
20:34 wizzyrea well I didn't have notification on.. one sec
20:34 yep there it is
20:34 sorry, dense
20:35 cait_away no problem :)
20:35 it's easy to miss
20:35 took me a while...
20:35 wizzyrea yes, that is awful placement.
20:35 and that does not work AT ALL how you would expect it to.
20:35 and it's not tied to the native serial lists
20:36 cait_away nope
20:36 btw
20:36 wizzyrea which as I have now learned is the source of all issues related to the problem I'm chasing down
20:36 cait_away if you ever wandered what the table alerts in the database is for.. here you go :)
20:36 wondered
20:36 wizzyrea tsk tsk.
20:36 cait_away maybe it was once designed to work differently
20:36 I think if holds worked
20:36 routing list holds
20:36 wizzyrea that's madness.
20:36 cait_away people would get hold notices to pick up the issue
20:37 but as they are not working...
20:37 * wizzyrea grumbles.
20:37 cait_away http://thechive.files.wordpres[…]d-art-play-12.jpg ? :)
20:37 wizzyrea that's a lot to document, and is rather dumb that there is no backend function to add users to those subs
20:37 cait, you are a champion, thank you for the help
20:38 cait++
20:38 cait_away wizzyrea: maybe there is/was a way and we only have not figured it out yet
20:38 that's as far as I got
20:38 :)
20:38 I have doucmentation in german...
20:39 wizzyrea is it online? I will translate it with the help of google
20:39 :P
20:39 cait_away not yet, but I could send it to you tomorrow
20:39 wizzyrea rather, translate it to googlenglish then into proper english
20:39 cait_away it has screenshots
20:40 wizzyrea that's ok I can get context from screenshots
20:40 I have a library who wants to use this, but they were adding patrons to routing lists.
20:40 thinking it would work
20:40 and it doesn't
20:44 cait_away wizzyrea: do you see the link in intranet now too? after subscribing?
