00:52 qu-bit joined #koha
00:58 wizzyrea gr where do you turn off the display of the time on the due dates?
00:58 (if you can)
00:59 rangi jquery
00:59 i think is all
00:59 eythian or tie it to the hourly loans stuff maybe?
00:59 wizzyrea yea it really ought to be "if this is an hourly loan, show the time"
00:59 eythian so if it's not an hourly loan thing, it doesn't display?
00:59 wizzyrea if not... don't
00:59 rangi im not sure how you can tell
00:59 wizzyrea based on the rule that applied?
00:59 rangi apart from the time being 23:59
00:59 wizzyrea maybe?
00:59 wahanui maybe is, like, a momentaneous error
01:00 rangi yeah but you dont know the rul
01:00 e
01:00 after its applied
01:00 and you have to store it as a date time
01:00 wizzyrea no, that's true. I suppose you could detect 23:59
01:00 rangi yup
01:00 eythian that seems hacky to me, and bad.
01:00 wizzyrea to me too but...
01:01 rangi its the only way to currently do it
01:01 dcook I'm not familiar with the hourly loans stuff, but wouldn't some libraries like to always see the time?
01:01 wizzyrea yes.
01:01 rangi yes
01:01 wizzyrea sure they would
01:01 rangi its the ones that dont use hourly loans
01:01 there is no hourly loans switch
01:01 wizzyrea OMG I SEE THE TIME
01:01 dcook O_o
01:01 wizzyrea <commence freak out>
01:01 rangi you can just define an issuing period
01:01 eythian y'know, if there was an "hourly loan" flag on issues, then a) this'd be easy, and b) you'd only need to process things you might care about hourly, everything else once a day.
01:01 rangi yep
01:01 dcook How do non-hourly loans work?
01:01 rangi however that doesnt exist, and im not gonna rewrite hourly loans at this minute :)
01:01 dcook Due at 11:59pm the "day" it's due?
01:01 rangi exactly the same
01:01 yep
01:02 eythian why on earth not, it'd be easy :)
01:02 wizzyrea 23:59, actually
01:02 dcook That doesn't seem the best either
01:02 wizzyrea: :P
01:02 rangi you dont want to restrict to hourly either
01:02 wizzyrea "it's just a database. How hard could it be"
01:02 rangi a 20 min loan is valid too, we cant cope with that at the moment
01:03 dcook Mmm, yeah, I think we had this discussion recently
01:03 rangi but the short answer, hide it with jquery
01:03 wizzyrea check. :)
01:03 dcook hehe
01:03 rangi and then if we win lotto
01:03 and want to spend it on hourly loans, rewrite
01:03 wizzyrea I'll donate it all to koha and we can reorganise the sysprefs and hourly loans.
01:04 actually I'll start a foundation
01:04 :P
01:04 rangi id join if it was an association
01:04 wizzyrea ok association
01:04 wahanui i guess association is missing - but somethin gmust have changed the mapping
01:04 wizzyrea forget association
01:04 wahanui wizzyrea: I forgot association
01:05 dcook If only we had all the time and money in the world...
01:05 Or infinity rather...
01:05 wizzyrea see: lotto
01:05 dcook That's only what..30 million tops? :p
01:05 wizzyrea I will invest it in... something lucrative.
01:06 then hire the RM and the rmaints
01:06 and docmanager.
01:06 dcook I used to sell lotto tickets in high school, and I realized that winning the lottery wasn't enough to live a more than average lifestyle to the end
01:06 wizzyrea and/or subsidise their employers
01:06 dcook Mmm, that would be awesome
01:07 wizzyrea contract for a year
01:07 rangi or they could have just given us maybe 25% what they threw at OLE
01:07 wizzyrea but that is all predicated on me winning the lotto.
01:07 i know right. that's the worst bit.
01:08 rangi indiegogo
01:08 wahanui it has been said that indiegogo is 8%.
01:08 wizzyrea free as in freedom. Not free as in gratis.
01:08 dcook What's that thing the people are doing...
01:08 rangi whats kickstarter?
01:08 dcook Kickstarter?
01:08 yeah
01:08 rangi yeah they take a cut
01:08 dcook Ahh
01:08 rangi im wondering if it is more or less than 8%
01:08 dcook Ask Amanda Palmer? :p
01:09 wizzyrea heh.
01:09 rangi heh, like she needed the money
01:09 wizzyrea she'd probably answer on the twitterz
01:09 dcook probably
01:09 wizzyrea bjork tried to do a kickstarter, failed miserably
01:09 dcook Yeah...
01:09 wizzyrea shame really, because her project was pretty cool, a music app for kids
01:09 rangi yeah cooler than just touring the world
01:10 dcook Relative definition of cool I suppose, eh?
01:10 jcamins I thought there was a class for the time?
01:10 rangi and not paying your musicians
01:10 dcook rangi: Definitely have written my fair share on that one
01:10 rangi jcamins: could be
01:11 dcook: i mostly just think she's totally overated, and a bit shit really, but thats probably my nz tall poppy syndrome kicking in
01:11 dcook I liked her Tedtalk on asking people to give money for music rather than demanding that they do it
01:11 rangi yup, i like the micropayments idea
01:12 rms actually had a good talk about that too
01:12 dcook rangi: Very overrated but that's her shtick.
01:12 rangi direct reward to artists
01:12 dcook Mmm, I like that idea as well
01:12 wizzyrea oh, rangi did you see http://gittip.com
01:12 rangi nz has pledgeme
01:13 i wish we knew like some people who like did research and stuff
01:13 dcook I was one of those MySpace teenagers :p. It was great. You would hear about a show put on by your local promoter. You'd listen to the music for free on MySpace. Then you'd pay to go to the show and buy the merch.
01:13 rangi and they could find a crowdsourcing
01:13 dcook: thats not new, thats how it always worked
01:13 record lablels, like proprietary software, are a short term aberration
01:14 dcook They're pretty reluctant to go
01:14 rangi you commissioned artists, or paid for them to play
01:14 dcook Sort of like that whole big oil thing
01:14 rangi for centuries
01:14 dcook Commercial software, etc
01:14 rangi until some ppl decided, ooh i can clip some tickets here
01:14 commercial software is not proprietary software
01:14 dcook True
01:14 rangi dont fall into that trap
01:14 we both get paid
01:15 and i dont write proprietary software :)
01:15 dcook Very true. Bad wording on my part. I usually don't make that mistake.
01:15 rangi lots do
01:15 specially in the library worlds
01:15 dcook So so so true
01:15 Folk in the library world...know enough words to make what they say completely different from what they mean sometimes
01:15 rangi punch cards
01:16 you only had the source code :)
01:16 its pretty hard to not share it :)
01:16 dcook Unless you junk it I suppose
01:16 rangi i mean to give it to someone to run :)
01:16 wizzyrea you could be like my mm and leave notes taped to the fridge for the family.
01:16 on punch cards.
01:17 rangi heh
01:17 wizzyrea mum*
01:17 dcook hehe
01:17 Whoa
01:17 you said, mum
01:17 I didn't know folks from the US said mum
01:17 wizzyrea it's because my kid calls me mum now because his teachers at school call me mum.
01:17 cjh dcook: she isn't in the states.
01:17 rangi gittip is cool, how much do they take i wonder?
01:17 dcook That's why I said "from" ;)
01:18 rangi what we need is a crowdfunding app
01:18 that doesnt require amazon or paypal
01:18 and doesnt clip the ticket too much
01:18 wizzyrea what we need, is to build it into koha's fines
01:18 kekekekekek
01:18 rangi if we can find that
01:18 then we could run a test campaign
01:18 see how it goes
01:18 wizzyrea "late book - help pay for this software"
01:19 rangi pledgeme just needs a credit card
01:19 dcook Bitcoins?
01:19 wizzyrea "all rounding errors are directly deposited into an unnamed bank acount in the caymans"
01:19 * dcook actually has almost zero idea about what that actually means though
01:19 wizzyrea when processing fines.
01:19 ^.^
01:19 rangi If the project is successful, the total amount collected will be transferred from the account held by PledgeMe to the account of the project creator, less 5% due to PledgeMe by its service and fees charged by Flo2Cash (2.8% +25c per transaction)%). If we encounter any declined payments (eg. insufficient funds on card) we will seek to capture these pledges within 7 days of your project closing.
01:19 wizzyrea note to those inevitably looking in - I don't actually mean that.
01:20 rangi around 8% there too
01:20 dcook Good ol' benchmarking
01:21 cjh it would be sweet to have a kickstarter for open source software features, but with direct CC charges.
01:22 rangi kickstarter is %5
01:22 but yeah i think has to be amazon
01:22 oooh
01:22 http://selfstarter.us/
01:23 annoyingly amazon payments too
01:23 but i like the idea of running our own
01:23 wizzyrea oo cool me too
01:23 cjh I guess passing CC to amazon/paypal makes it easier to implement, lower risk, etc.
01:24 wizzyrea looks like it doesn't have to use amazon
01:24 cjh if it is open source we could (in theory) rewrite the amazon specific parts, but dealing with credit cards sounds painful.
01:24 ibeardslee troubleshooting/buck passing is easier .. talk to amazon/paypal
01:24 wizzyrea it says "or use your own provider"
01:24 for payments
01:24 rangi hmm could use dps then
01:24 wizzyrea Selftstarter is a starting point for you to build your own solution. It is set up to collect reservations using Amazon Payments, but you can choose you own provider too.
01:25 rangi might be worth investigating more
01:25 wizzyrea *nod* yes yes yes
01:25 dcook mhm
01:25 wizzyrea YES.
01:25 dcook I think Liz is on board
01:25 Maybe
01:25 She's a bit vague
01:25 wizzyrea idk. YES.
01:25 cjh heh
01:27 rangi something to play with over easter
01:28 dcook It would certainly be nice to have something set up
01:28 rangi the trick would be then who do you distribute it too
01:28 dcook Good birthday/christmas presents. I don't need stuff, but I'm all for people donating to Koha in my name :D
01:28 rangi thats why i like having our own one
01:28 so different campaigns can run
01:29 like pay jcamins to do the search rewrite
01:29 dcook Mmm yeah
01:29 rangi can be really clear about where the money is going
01:29 dcook That would certainly be a more elegant way to sponsor a project
01:30 And mtj with openID
01:30 Wait
01:30 slef
01:30 * dcook tries to remember the other day
01:30 mtj heya, yeah was mj-ray/slef :)
01:30 dcook I always mix up your handles in my head!
01:31 clearly :p
01:31 I've recently heard more Persona > OpenID from non-Koha folks though
01:31 So nice one, rangi
01:32 jcamins The thing I like about Persona is that the login is stored in the browser.
01:33 That makes sense to me.
01:33 rangi yeah i like the privacy that comes with it
01:33 eythian also the openid UI is arse for non-technical people
01:33 rangi there is that
01:34 jcamins Also, Persona seems to require way less XSS.
01:34 eythian yeah, it's all done server side aiui
01:34 or mostly, perhaps
01:34 cjh I also like it how the persona identity server cant trace you or refuse you access to a site.
01:35 awesome work by Mozilla.
01:35 jcamins eythian: there is one XSS request, to get the persona identity token.
01:35 eythian ah right
01:35 jcamins But that means I whitelist *one* domain and it works.
01:35 eythian I haven't read the spec for a while
01:35 jcamins I didn't read the spec at all.
01:35 I just know that Persona works for me and I can't get OpenID to work without disabling my XSS-blocker.
01:36 Probably because I'm doing something wrong, but see how much I care?
01:36 I thought I already pushed 9930.
01:36 Apparently not.
01:37 Wait...
01:37 I think it's wrong.
01:37 dcook bug 9930
01:37 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=9930 critical, P5 - low, ---, kyle, Passed QA , can't update patron info in ccsr
01:37 jcamins No.
01:37 Huh.
01:38 Ummm...
01:39 dcook On a side note, I've been meaning to ask...now that we have two themes...does this mean that future development is happening for ccsr and phasing out prog, or are we now having to develop for both?
01:39 jcamins could someone please disable PatronSelfRegistration, and tell me if the patron details view makes sense for you?
01:39 Both.
01:39 dcook :/
01:39 jcamins The (impossible) dream) is that some of the mobile enhancements from ccsr can be ported over to prog.
01:39 rangi dcook most of ccsr is the same
01:40 ie, it uses the same templates
01:40 jcamins The only differences are CSS, javascript (and only some), and...
01:40 dcook Yeah, it just means that we need to update two templates instead of one
01:40 Ack
01:40 jcamins No, just one template.
01:40 rangi no, thats what im saying
01:40 dcook nvm
01:40 rangi you dont :)
01:40 jcamins wait... didn't I fix the includes?
01:40 dcook Missed your second comment there, rangi
01:40 rangi dcook: the extra work is testing both
01:41 dcook Cool beans. Good to know
01:41 jcamins Okay, this is going to have to wait, because this seems just totally wrong.
01:41 wizzyrea sometimes you'll see a feature that doesn't have CSS to display it
01:41 in ccsr.
01:41 like the social features, for example
01:41 rangi yeah
01:41 its usually this looks dumb
01:42 jcamins ...
01:42 wait.
01:42 dcook Mmm, that's not so bad then
01:42 qu-bit joined #koha
01:42 jcamins Okay.
01:42 I think there's a problem with the patron details display on the OPAC.
01:43 And that's why the patch that changes it in ccsr looks wrong.
01:43 It'd look wrong if I were using prog, too, but I'm not.
01:43 * jcamins tests this theory.
01:44 jcamins Yes.
01:44 * wizzyrea recalls a patch for that from kyle
01:44 jcamins I was testing bug 9930, but now I think there's another patch that it should depend on.
01:44 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=9930 critical, P5 - low, ---, kyle, Passed QA , can't update patron info in ccsr
01:45 wizzyrea do you have both prefs on?
01:45 jcamins I will ask Kyle tomorrow.
01:45 wizzyrea i mean, I have to ask.
01:45 jcamins No, the problem is it looks wrong when I have it turned *off*.
01:45 I was checking for regressions.
01:45 wizzyrea hm I had to turn mine on to test it, and it looked ok - I will check it again.
01:45 looked ok before I did that anyway.
01:46 jcamins I get flashing.
01:46 wizzyrea flashing!
01:46 jcamins Yeah, when everything gets disabled.
01:46 It... flickers, almost.
01:47 I thought when it was disabled there weren't supposed to be submittable controls at all.
01:48 eythian http://www.deathandtaxesmag.co[…]one-out-of-style/
01:49 wizzyrea also it doesn't have anything to do with patronselfregistration
01:49 only updating patron info
01:50 jcamins Which one enables by turning on PatronSelfRegistration... right?
01:50 rangi nope, you have always been able to update
01:50 wizzyrea the self registration stuff is only related in that another feature came along with it, which is that patron modifications are manageable through the web interface
01:50 rangi just not register
01:50 dcook eythian: Groak almost explains the feeling I get when jcamins talks about food :p
01:51 eythian http://dealpeddler.net/wp-cont[…]3/MeatCupcake.jpg <-- dcook
01:51 rangi i hope that it isnt now linked to self registration
01:51 that would be bad
01:51 jcamins rangi: according to the commit message it is.
01:51 wizzyrea yea it would - fail that I'm going to look at it again
01:51 or I will.
01:52 rangi hmm so you cant let someone update .. without turning on self registration? that sucks
01:52 eythian jcamins: oh btw, I published a new master package today, mostly to get rid of bug 9919
01:52 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=9919 blocker, P5 - low, ---, peterAtKohaBugzilla, Pushed to Master , Syntax error in kohastructure.sql
01:52 * rangi hopes he is wrong
01:52 jcamins eythian++
01:52 No, the commit message is wrong.
01:52 wizzyrea ok I KNOW I tested this with selfregistration OFF
01:52 jcamins I just tested.
01:53 wizzyrea because I am looking at it
01:53 rangi thank goodness
01:53 jcamins *However* I believe there is still a problem with the display now.
01:53 I think it used to just show you your details unless updating was allowed.
01:53 wizzyrea it still does that with self reg off
01:53 it shows boxes but you can't edit them
01:54 rangi good
01:54 dcook eythian: oh my...images like that make me want to take a meatcation
01:54 rangi so with updating off
01:54 and self reg on
01:54 it should still stop you updating
01:54 wizzyrea yea
01:54 imma check that
01:55 ok, I tested it this way
01:55 OPACPatronDetails ON, SelfReg OFF
01:55 = works in ccsr
01:55 and you do in fact get the notify in the staff client like you are supposed to
01:55 jcamins I'm taking a screenshot to show you what I think doesn't work.
01:55 http://screencast.com/t/c6Gj2LkKp
01:56 wizzyrea that has always been that way, afaik.
01:56 there is no submit button eh?
01:56 jcamins That is what I see when I have OPACPatronDetails turned OFF
01:56 mtj hey eythian, i just remembered to email you that gpg key...
01:56 eythian oh yeah :)
01:57 wizzyrea right, is there a submit button?
01:57 mine doesn't have one.
01:57 jcamins There is not... eventually.
01:57 When I load the page, the complete form is loaded.
01:57 Then it is disabled.
01:57 And this does not match the screen I am used to, which is...
01:58 eythian so does it do a javascript disable of the form or something?
01:58 which would be bad
01:58 jcamins This: http://screencast.com/t/CWirqbseD
01:59 wizzyrea and that is immediately before this patch?
01:59 jcamins No, I think this is an additional bug.
02:00 rangi oh we have to get out
02:00 get OUT
02:00 wizzyrea AIEE
02:00 eythian uh oh!
02:00 rangi so anitsirk can hide eggs
02:00 jcamins Fire drill?
02:00 eythian flee!
02:00 jcamins Oh.
02:00 eythian egg drill!
02:00 jcamins I think there is nothing wrong with this patch because the display is wrong anyway.
02:00 * dcook has already eaten his easter chocolate from this morning...
02:00 dcook I wonder when that happened, jcamins
02:00 * dcook just tried it really quickly on 3.8 and it looks good pre-selfreg
02:00 jcamins So I'll definitely save it for some time when I can ask Kyle about it.
02:02 The most likely cause of the problem is that there is some non-Plack-safe code.
02:03 Because wizzyrea's immediate response was not "OH NOES! PATRON DETAILS ARE BROKEN!" the way mine was.
02:03 rangi: bug 9786 is yours.
02:03 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=9786 normal, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, Passed QA , [3.8.X] Holds to pull showing items not available
02:05 jcamins dcook: BTW, you should read... http://producingoss.com/
02:05 It's really interesting.
02:05 And you weren't around when I told everyone to read it earlier.
02:06 Ummm...
02:07 Odd.
02:07 How did bug 8383 get to passed QA?

02:08 jcamins Ah.
02:08 mtj didn't realize it was pushed to master.
02:11 dcook jcamins: Cool. I'll take a look. I have a 12 hour roundtrip train ride this weekend, so maybe I'll have to gander at the PDF on my netbook...
02:11 jcamins Pfeh. I screwed up the history.
02:14 mtj jcamins, oh meh, the 00-strict.t file is there after all
02:14 jcamins mtj: yep. Once I checked the bug it made sense.
02:15 mtj i wonder if i was looking for it in ./t , not ./t./db-dependant
02:15 jcamins Probably. Initially it was in t.
02:15 mtj all good, file is pushed

02:29 jcamins mtj: but why is it a bad thing to have the older version?
02:30 I don't feel strongly one way or the other, but I think the .packages files I just generated should work.
02:31 (I know they install all the needed dependencies and Koha runs, but I did not look for edge cases)
02:31 rangi eythian: i think you need to add mork mork mork to the edit of that gpg line, cos that totally reads like the swedish chef in my head
02:31 * jcamins agrees with rangi.
02:31 eythian bork bork bork
02:31 mork is a terrible mozilla database format
02:32 or partner of mindy
02:32 rangi and an alien
02:32 :)
02:33 eythian and if you know that sleutel means key, it all makes sense :)
02:33 * jcamins chooses not to know that. :P
02:37 jcamins Hmm.
02:38 If the database does not exist when running the web installer, shouldn't it provide some sort of error message other than a stacktrace?
02:38 rangi yes
02:38 jcamins We are in agreement.

03:16 jcamins Good night, #koha.
03:16 dcook night, jcamins
03:17 mtj jcamins, if someone has made the effort of creating a new debain package of a perl module, theres usually a good reason?
03:18 ...and good nite :)
03:19 the new package either fixes a bug, or has some important feature
03:20 so, it makes some obvious sense to choose that new package, rather than ignore it

06:27 another_peter thanks much
06:27 dcook Generally speaking, people will ask you to change your style to accord with the norm during sign off/QA
06:27 another_peter <div class="dialog error"> is really very low key.  don't we have an angry red style? :)
06:28 dcook Possibly :P
06:28 I can't recall off the top of my head
06:30 How long have you been at Catalyst, another_peter? I haven't been around IRC much these past couple weeks, but it's always nice to see someone new (at least new to me :P)
06:30 Perhaps I should Google before I speak :p
06:30 another_peter dcook: since jan 2005 :)  but i have not been koha-hacking.
06:31 (i took a couple of years off to fix/break/change the electricity market in western australia)
06:31 dcook hehe
06:31 How long are you going to be koha-hacking?
06:32 another_peter till I get bored with it... I am doing this in not-work-time - i do not have work time to spend on it
06:33 i mostly negotiate contracts and decide how much to charge for things and manage projects, so I don't get to write code normally in work time
06:33 dcook Ahh, I see I see
06:34 another_peter i also have three children, 12 acres, a kunekune pig, sheep, and other similar demands on my time.  but this works well with physical tiredness and being tired of reading/writing legalese.
06:34 dcook I sometimes ponder what the future might be like if/when I'm no longer coding Koha on work time
06:34 Koha as stress relief. I like it.

07:01 magnus_away joined #koha
07:01 another_peter I am trying to fix a bug about not being able to delete history in the OPAC
07:02 I have therefore raised another bug for it not automatically deleting history on return
07:02 I've had to touch two other little perl scripts to make the change, one of which I could easily make carp if it sees this error (that seems the right thing to do, it is a cron job)
07:02 but should that have its own bug?
07:03 next question, in touching the .tt file, I notice that the succeeding message is missing a full stop (inside a string).  Can I sneak that in?  A bug + QA cycle for a one-byte string change seems rather pedantic.  It is literally one or two lines away from code I am changing anyway.
07:04 cait: you are probably the person I should address those queries towards, if you have time.
07:04 I will raise the bug for the harder-to-fix script in the interim.
07:06 cait i think you can put all that in one patch
07:06 the commit message should have something about the carp probably
07:06 the goal of separate bugs is in part to have well testable patches
07:06 instead of things that do too many things at once
07:07 but we are not overly pedantic
07:09 another_peter thanks :)

11:06 so that makes perfect sense - thx!

11:26 Joubu marcelr: yep
11:26 marcelr hi Joubu: i checked your remark on 6554
11:27 with the first patch only, i still have : No system preferences matched your search for é
11:27 Joubu hum... I retest
11:27 marcelr i search for é in prefs
11:29 Joubu ho yes, sorry. In fact I commented out l.302 in C4::Output
11:29 #utf8::encode($data);
11:29 marcelr ok
11:29 Joubu I commented
11:34 marcelr: So, in your last patch, if I keep the deletion of binmode and the change in C4::XSLT, it works (for pref and patron). Maybe something else is broken
11:35 marcelr no other changes?

11:40 marcelr: english template
11:40 marcelr why do you comment line 302?
11:41 Joubu marcelr: no real reason :)
11:42 marcelr Joubu: i think we should look for searchfield in preferences.pl and decode correctly
11:42 Joubu marcelr: but after a patron search (member.pl), the input is filled with �
11:42 marcelr dobrica did some of these changes in other scripts already
11:43 yes, there are some instances left where the url parameter is not decoded
11:43 we should adjust these ones
11:45 NateC joined #koha
11:50 marcelr Joubu: this should do the job in prefs.pl:
11:50 my $searchfield = uri_unescape($input->param('searchfield'));
11:50 followed by a decode
11:51 i mean:    my $searchfield = uri_unescape($input->param('searchfield'));    utf8::decode($searchfield); and add a use in the file

14:49 oleonard My library is on 3.10.3 now (just upgraded from 3.8.5), and the only comment I've gotten so far about the changes is to point out Bug 9917
14:49 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=9917 normal, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, NEW , Routing list tab on patron account should depend on syspref/permission
14:51 kf oleonard: yeah... I figured tht woudl happen here too
14:52 oleonard: does it mean you are going to fix it? :)
14:53 oleonard I haven't looked into it. I would be willing if it is within my capabilities.
14:53 I would think we shouldn't show the tab if the patron isn't on any routing lists, but that may not be the most efficient way to do it
14:54 I don't know how much that repeated query matters
14:54 kf maybe just make it depend on the pref?
14:54 only makes sense if you use routing lists anyway
14:55 oleonard That would be the top-level check, yeah
14:56 kf ah
14:56 oleonard What does routing permission do?
14:56 kf but you wanted it to go down
14:56 oleonard Give you the right to be on a routing list? Or give you the right to build a routing list?
14:56 kf build
14:56 that's why I am not sure it fits
14:56 oleonard Yeah I don't think so
14:56 kf so do we need another?
14:56 can see routing lists?
14:57 indesign--
14:57 oleonard If the syspref is on, people still don't need to see the tab if they're not on any lists. So there ought to be more to it.
14:57 But it could certainly be fixed in stages.

22:29 jcamins So much for Goodreads offering an alternative source of reviews, eh?
22:29 bag so much
22:30 jcamins It was nice while it lasted.
22:30 bag I thought that could have been "good"  :P
22:30 jcamins All... week.
22:38 liw that opens an opportunity for a new competitor, preferably one designed so it will stay out of the hands of the evil empires
22:39 jcamins liw: yeah, now it just has to show up.
22:40 wizzyrea aw what happened?
22:41 liw Amazon bought Goodreads
22:41 wizzyrea aw
22:41 not so good.
22:41 i'm sad to report that i'm not sure anyone is safe from evil empires.
22:42 jcamins That is true.
22:44 wizzyrea much to the dismay of freedom and openness lovers everywhere.
22:44 liw I have, from time to time, pondered on a possible federated or distributed solution to reviews: people publish them on their own sites (or blogs), and dedicated search engines gather and process the data -- and anyone can set one of those up -- but I haven't come up with a solution to the fundamental problem of scamming, spamming, hoaxing, and marketing
22:45 jcamins liw: ... reddit?
22:45 Minus the seedier bits.
22:46 liw jcamins, reddit has its share of shrewd marketers who push good stuff about themselves onto the front pages of various subreddits, such as TIL
22:46 jcamins liw: right, reddit has all the problems you mentioned, but isn't that basically what reddit is (full disclosure: I am not a redditor).
22:46 *?
22:47 liw reddit is also centralized, and already owned by a large media corp :)
22:47 * jcamins did not know that.
22:47 liw Conde Nast, specifically
22:47 but it does have a strong point in that users mostly vote the good stuff up
22:48 but, on the other hand, I'd like something based on "I'd like to see what my friends like", in the PGP web of trust style... but this is getting too complicated to describe over irc, and I
22:48 'm hijacking #koha to spout my crazy ideas, and it's past bedtime already...
22:49 jcamins Hehe.
22:49 * jcamins has been known to talk about his new catalog, Biblionarrator, on #koha.
22:49 liw (I might talk about my idea for a "e-book library on a uSD card" idea some day, once I've thought about it some more)
22:57 wizzyrea liw - idreambooks.com kin of does that - it aggregates review
22:57 reviews*
22:57 jcamins Yeah, but it's rather more centralized.
22:57 wizzyrea yep
22:57 it only goes after "professional" reviews
22:57 kind of like rottentomatoes
22:58 liw - and we like crazy ideas here
22:58 because you never know which part of a crazy idea will be actually practical someday.
23:17 does anyone here know what the "flag" hidden value in the framework editor does/
23:17 ?
23:17 jcamins wizzyrea: no.
23:17 I think we concluded it just means "flag."
23:18 Obvious tautology is obvious!
23:18 And redundant!
23:18 wizzyrea lol fair enough
23:20 but flag for what?!
23:20 * wizzyrea runs screaming
23:21 jcamins Flagging. :P
23:27 * wizzyrea boggles some more.
23:32 gmcharlt signal for us to design and fly a Koha flag?
23:41 wizzyrea i like it!
