jcamins, hmm - how do i sign off on a branch? |
| 01:46 |

I generally use interactive rebase. |

Hello #koha |

You know what is idiotic? |

I will show you. |

|
10/11/2010 0:00:00 |
| 02:52 |
|
^^ that is idiotic |
| 02:54 |
eythian |
I had a date: 19881603 ... that's possibly worse |
| 02:54 |
|
In related news, Time::Piece->strptime(%Y%m%d) will turn 20073101 into 2007-03-10 rather than fail. I'm not sure I agree with its position there. |
| 02:54 |
* wizzyrea |
blinks |
| 02:56 |
jcamins |
o.O |
| 02:57 |
|
Oh, nice. There are literal newlines in this data. |
| 02:57 |
|
ms_access-- |
| 02:57 |
eythian |
jcamins: are you using csvtomarc? |
| 02:57 |
|
cos I have a trick for that |
| 02:57 |
jcamins |
eythian: you do? |
| 02:58 |
|
Did I miss it in the man page? |
| 02:58 |
|
Or perldoc, rather? |
| 02:58 |
eythian |
it's undocumented because lazy |
| 02:58 |
|
a \a will get converted to \n |
| 02:58 |
|
and \f to , |
| 02:59 |
|
so you can craft a search-replace over your data to convert troublesome characters into that, then they'll pass the CSV parsing and later get converted back |
| 02:59 |
jcamins |
Ooh, nice! |
| 02:59 |
eythian |
it's in the clean_string function |
| 02:59 |
|
I need to make it command-line configurable at some stage |
| 03:00 |
jcamins |
Well look at that. |
| 03:00 |
eythian |
I also find specifying -l often helps. |
| 03:00 |
|
it makes it a lot more relaxed about its CSV parsing |
| 03:01 |
jcamins |
One thing... how do I replace the newslines if all I have is a CSV? |
| 03:01 |
eythian |
I actually usually replace the ',', it's that that tends to mess things up. |
| 03:01 |
|
csvtomarc can handle newlines in fields just fine |
| 03:02 |
jcamins |
It can? |
| 03:02 |
eythian |
yeah |
| 03:02 |
* jcamins |
did not know that. |
| 03:02 |
eythian |
it's only when a line ends with something like blahblah"\n"next quote... |
| 03:02 |
|
that it gets really upset |
| 03:03 |
pastebot |
"eythian" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "example of CSV file pre-cleaning" (7 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/455 |
| 03:03 |
eythian |
^-- I often do that sort of thing, just to make it parse properly |
| 03:04 |
|
so fix a lot of commas and a handful of special cases. |
| 03:05 |
jcamins |
Oh, wait, every line ends with 0 or 1. |
| 03:05 |
eythian |
then adapt this: |
| 03:06 |
|
perl -p -i -e 's/(?<!"")\r\n/\a/g' library_conv.csv |
| 03:06 |
|
(which is when I had something where every line ended in "" |
| 03:06 |
|
) |
| 03:09 |

| 03:09 |
|
nice day! |

| 03:10 |
|
what does it mean? |
| 03:10 |
eythian |
wahanui: nice day is also <reply>I'm going to go play outside |
| 03:10 |
wahanui |
okay, eythian. |
| 03:10 |
eythian |
quocuy: it's a slangish contraction of "bet you" |
| 03:11 |
quocuy |
no, i mean have a nice day everyone :) |
| 03:11 |
eythian |
used in an odd way there, basically the same as saying "sure is" |
| 03:11 |
quocuy |
:), |
| 03:12 |
|
hey all, i've changed Koha-Opac, should i put it in to Live DVD |
| 03:13 |
|
check in http://library1.dreamlib.vn and give me you comments :) |
| 03:13 |
jcamins |
Why would you put a customized OPAC on the live DVD? |
| 03:14 |
quocuy |
i'll make 2 website, 1 default, 1 custom, 1 guide to help them to do that, if they want |
| 03:14 |
jcamins |
I don't think that's such a good idea. |
| 03:14 |
quocuy |
just create 2 website with 1 installation |
| 03:14 |
jcamins |
Yes, I don't think that's a good idea. |
| 03:15 |
wizzyrea |
yea, I don't think that should go in the "canonical" live DVD |
| 03:15 |
rangi |
yeah |
| 03:15 |
quocuy |
ok :), i'm asking |
| 03:15 |
wizzyrea |
i like it, it is neat, you are welcome to submit patches to have that included |
| 03:15 |
jcamins |
Okay, fixed it in vim. |
| 03:15 |
rangi |
it should be stock koha, so that people can upgrade safely, probably based on the packages |
| 03:15 |
quocuy |
yes, live DVD in ubuntu 12.04 |
| 03:15 |
wizzyrea |
^ what he said |
| 03:15 |
|
it should be in stock |
| 03:16 |
quocuy |
what do u mean "stock"? :) |
| 03:17 |
|
ah, yes, understand |
| 03:17 |
jcamins |
Any customizations on the live dvd are bad. |
| 03:17 |
|
So any cool things that should go on should go into Koha proper. |
| 03:17 |
wizzyrea |
right, I would probably be opposed to distributing as canonical a dvd with anything that isn't in the code base |
| 03:17 |
quocuy |
make a dvd to update, |
| 03:17 |
wizzyrea |
that the RM looks after. |
| 03:18 |
quocuy |
Ok, i won't bring it to Koha DVD |
| 03:18 |
wizzyrea |
and not canonical as in ubuntu... I mean it as authorized; recognized; accepted |
| 03:18 |
|
thank you :) |
| 03:19 |
quocuy |
and more, it's only some html and css code, which i added into system pref>Opac> |
| 03:20 |
|
so better i'll make a guide |
| 03:20 |
|
i love to play around with color, css, html :) |
| 03:20 |
jcamins |
Yes. Much better. :) |
| 03:20 |

jcamins |
Uh-oh. |
| 04:25 |
eythian |
what'd you do? |
| 04:25 |
jcamins |
One of my titles starts with a quotation mark. |
| 04:25 |
eythian |
that might work. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. |
| 04:26 |
jcamins |
This time it does not. |
| 04:26 |
eythian |
It also makes it more likely to get confused by a badly placed comma further down the row. |
| 04:27 |
|
so it's often not the quote, but that plus something else causes the heuristic to fall over. |
| 04:28 |
jcamins |
Actually, it turns out I had ~150 records that were broken by that. |
| 04:29 |

Access mangled my UTF-8. |
| 04:29 |
|
Thanks, Access! |
| 04:29 |
eythian |
imagine that! |
| 04:33 |
jcamins |
So, other than the mangled UTF-8, I think the data is actually mostly in there where it belongs. |
| 04:35 |
|
Actually, maybe Access didn't mangle the UTF-8 as bad as one might expect. |
| 04:35 |
|
If I set the encoding to UTF-8 in vim, it automagically starts working. |

| 04:43 |

Do you have a specific question? |
| 04:46 |
bamalik |
jcamins: my question is simple: i want to create a union catalogue of two libraries (each lib have opac in koha) in two different cities, ok |
| 04:46 |
jcamins |
I don't understand what the question is. |
| 04:46 |
|
You can just add two branches. |
| 04:46 |
|
(look in Administration under "Libraries") |
| 04:51 |
bamalik |
jcamins: ok, i am an intensive user of koha and understand the administration well, do you have idea of virtual union catalogue please. |
| 04:52 |

I just told you how to do what you asked about. |

hmm thats a pretty old version, has it just started not working? or did you just install it? |
| 08:15 |
mib_moabs6 |
just installed it |
| 08:16 |
rangi |
hmmm |
| 08:16 |
|
why did you choose 3.6.1 ? |
| 08:16 |
mib_moabs6 |
it dept did it, not me |
| 08:16 |
rangi |
it was released november 29 2011 |
| 08:16 |
|
well thats bizarre |
| 08:16 |
|
its a really old version |
| 08:17 |
|
the latest stable release is 3.10.4 |
| 08:17 |
|
or in the oldstable branch 3.8.11 |
| 08:17 |
|
but there are unlikely to ever be anymore 3.6.x releases |
| 08:18 |
|
id suggest installing a recent version |
| 08:18 |
|
and also, find out why they picked that .. maybe its linked somewhere and if so we should remove that link :) |
| 08:19 |
|
whatever bug thats causing your issue will have been fixed sometime in the 19 months since 3.6.1 was released :) |
| 08:20 |
magnuse |
or if the it dept insists on 3.6.x, make them install the latest version of it, which is 3.6.11, i think :-) |
| 08:20 |
rangi |
yep there were security fixes around 3.6.7 |
| 08:21 |
mib_moabs6 |
it's going to be difficult to get a newer version installed, but i'll give it a try. if we're stuck with this version, is there any place else where i can look for an answer to this? |
| 08:21 |
rangi |
you definitely want later than that |

no |

thanks for your help |

wizzyrea |
it's like teaching nurses - see one, do one, teach one. |
| 09:06 |

Yep :) It's much easier than patching together bits of information from forums all over the web (I'm looking at you weird Linux distros with driver issues ;) |
| 09:06 |
wizzyrea |
my laptop webcam is *still* upside down, a year later. |
| 09:07 |

LOL - yep. Had those types of problems when I built a machine running Ubuntu from parts (without checking available drivers first) |

everything else works a treat, so I don't much worry about it :P |

Koha question: would using Ajax in circulation interfere with Plack? |
| 09:08 |
rangi |
no |
| 09:09 |
Viktor |
rangr thanks |
| 09:09 |
|
rangi |
| 09:10 |
|
Still thinking about ensuring that no scanned barcodes are lost and adding a que function. Using Ajax to pick up the barcodes and handle them without reloading the page seems like a good idea. |
| 09:11 |
wizzyrea |
check out that would probably be ok, as long as all in process overrides are honored. |
| 09:11 |
|
such as "this item is on reserve for someone else... override?" |
| 09:11 |
|
or "this person would go over the fine limit... override?" |
| 09:12 |
magnuse |
yeah, that would have to be taken care of |
| 09:12 |
|
and hi Viktor |
| 09:12 |
Viktor |
hi magnuse :) |
| 09:13 |
|
Yes we would have to light up multiple boxes of "stuff to handle" - would it be possible to do that without rewriting the code behind the scenes? |
| 09:14 |
|
I guess it's mostly returns.pl and circulation.pl that would have to be modded. |
| 09:14 |
wizzyrea |
returns has to deal with things like reserves too |
| 09:14 |
rangi |
modding them would be a bad idea |
| 09:15 |
|
they are designed to work with templats |
| 09:15 |
|
you are better off adding a new svc in /svc/ |
| 09:15 |
wahanui |
Hmm. No matches for that, rangi. |
| 09:15 |
rangi |
to go along with authentication, bib, new_bib, report, etc |
| 09:16 |
|
one that is designed to be light, and pass json |
| 09:16 |
Viktor |
Not familiar with svc :( But I think magnuse is which is what matters :) |
| 09:16 |
wizzyrea |
I guess the plugins system can't yet accept a new circ module type plugin... or can it? |
| 09:17 |
rangi |
dear god i hope not |
| 09:17 |
|
that sounds like a hideous security nightmare if it could |
| 09:17 |
magnuse |
i think plugins are restricted to reports and tools |
| 09:18 |
|
(not sure what "restricted to tools" means, though...) |
| 09:18 |
wizzyrea |
i haven't piddled about with it yet. |
| 09:18 |
rangi |
best to do it properly and build a restful circ interface, we have one for cataloguing, and reports already |
| 09:18 |
|
thats what the svc dir is for |
| 09:19 |
|
once you have that |
| 09:19 |
* magnuse |
is not overly familiar with the svc dir, but would love to dig around in it :-) |
| 09:19 |
rangi |
you could have all manner of UI on top of it |
| 09:19 |
Viktor |
I'm listening but not familiar enough with the internal plumbing :) |
| 09:20 |
rangi |
basically i dont want people touching the internals, ie modifying circulation.pl |
| 09:20 |
|
thats just too risky |
| 09:20 |
Viktor |

04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=9844 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, koha-bugs, NEW , Add a barcode queue to checkout / return |
| 09:21 |
Viktor |
To get rid of the bottleneck of waiting for the system to answer before being able to scan more barcodes. |
| 09:21 |
* wizzyrea |
read barbecue instead of barcode |
| 09:21 |
rangi |
yep |
| 09:21 |
Viktor |
:) |
| 09:21 |
rangi |
i think thats the wrong solution tho :) |
| 09:22 |
|
best to make a light/fast interface so taht the js can do ajax calls |
| 09:22 |
Viktor |
Well it's spring. A BBQ would improve everyones mood :) |
| 09:23 |
rangi |
you still cant finish the borrower until all the transactions are processed |
| 09:23 |
|
and if you are queueing client side |
| 09:23 |
|
you may issue stuff you are not allowed to |
| 09:23 |
Viktor |
So we could call the relevant module multiple times behind the scenes without having to mod the .pl themselves? Sound great. |
| 09:24 |
rangi |
basically if you build a restful circ client you can queue server side |
| 09:25 |
Viktor |
Sounds like a plan! |
| 09:26 |
rangi |
when all you are transmitting is a small piece of json to and from the server, and the page isnt being reloaded, it will be a zillion times faster anyway |
| 09:26 |
Viktor |
This has floated quite high up on my list of stuff to pay to get done so I'm very thankful for you guys giving a hint on how to solve it in a community approved way :) |

Oh and another thing - does anyone use online payment services in Koha? |
| 09:29 |
|
Hi aquaman |
| 09:30 |
rangi |
not in koha but with koha yep, hlt do, via sip2 |
| 09:30 |
Viktor |
Interesting! |
| 09:30 |
wahanui |
i guess interesting is sometimes good and sometimes bad |
| 09:30 |
rangi |
they also do payment at the selfcheck machines the same way |
| 09:31 |
Viktor |
Didn't even know you could do that :) |
| 09:32 |
|
I'm thinking about adding it to the Opac in the long run. |
| 09:32 |
wizzyrea |
yea i'm not for that really. |
| 09:32 |
|
i personally don't want koha handling money |
| 09:32 |
rangi |
yeah what she said |
| 09:32 |
Viktor |
I'm with you on that. |
| 09:32 |
rangi |
id hate to see any kind of credit card processing stuff built into koha |
| 09:33 |
|
use some other service for that, they can get hacked by russian mafia |
| 09:33 |
wizzyrea |
it's bad enough that we have to deal with fines and accounting. And that people feel inclined to put personal, really sensitive info in koha |
| 09:33 |
Viktor |
What I'm thinking of is adding the ability to move to a third party that handles the payment and then returns (approved payment / not approved) |
| 09:34 |
wizzyrea |
that would be ok |
| 09:34 |
Viktor |
Good :) |
| 09:34 |
rangi |
yep, you can do that now via SIP2 |
| 09:34 |
wizzyrea |
i mean, ok by me anyway. others may have differing opinions |
| 09:34 |
Viktor |
Yep :) |
| 09:35 |
rangi |
but if the service cant handle talking sip, punching off to dps or any of the other processing places would be easy to do |
| 09:35 |
Viktor |
I'll have to look into that. It's not on the fast track list - but it would be great for people to be able to pay fines from home in a _secure_ way |
| 09:36 |
rangi |
yep, they do at hlt already |
| 09:36 |
wizzyrea |
rangi - you tunnel those SIP connections I presume |
| 09:37 |
rangi |
they dont travel the net |
| 09:37 |
|
but yes |
| 09:37 |
magnuse |
it's all done with pigeons |
| 09:37 |
wizzyrea |
in tunnels :) |
| 09:37 |
rangi |
(they are on their own LAN) |
| 09:37 |
|
you'd be mental to do SIP over the internet |
| 09:37 |
Viktor |
:) :) |
| 09:37 |
wizzyrea |
ohhh didn't realise that bit |
| 09:38 |
Viktor |
Something like http://tech.dibs.dk/integratio[…]dow_introduction/ might be better. |
| 09:38 |
wizzyrea |
that the payment thinger was internal |
| 09:38 |
rangi |
yeah the server that talks to koha via sip2 is on the same lan segment |
| 09:38 |
wizzyrea |
wicked |
| 09:39 |
Viktor |
Would it require any (extensive) Koha-plumbing to receive "payment done" and set a note in the database "payed online by" |
| 09:39 |
rangi |
looks after the printers, and scanners and photocopiers too |
| 09:39 |
|
Viktor: not if it used an existing method |
| 09:39 |
Viktor |
Great! |
| 09:39 |
rangi |
but yes it would if you wanted to build some new thing |
| 09:40 |
Viktor |
*me hoping no new things are required :) |
| 09:40 |

gaetan_B joined #koha |

receiving payment done would never be enough of course |
| 09:41 |
|
thats just asking to be pwned |
| 09:41 |
Viktor |
:) |
| 09:41 |
rangi |
you'd ahve to generate a md5 hash or something that the service hands back |
| 09:42 |
|
or everyone will just send their own payment done messages |
| 09:42 |
Viktor |
I shure hope they have thought about that - I use those kinds of services quite a bit :) |
| 09:43 |
rangi |
they have |
| 09:43 |
Viktor |
I sort of assumed there would be a bit of security hassle to get my head around when digging deeper. |
| 09:43 |
rangi |
but koha will need to have changes made to do that, thats what i meant |
| 09:44 |
|
because that is not an existing method |
| 09:44 |
Viktor |
I see. |
| 09:44 |
|
aquaman joined #koha |

well it seems doable with the technical stuff so next step will be sorting out the legal hassle of accepting payments. |
| 09:45 |
|
Guess I'll come back to this question if I manage to talk nicely enough to our legal people. |
| 09:46 |

Getting it done is sort of a 2014 thing if the most vital stuff don't eat all the money. But I'm collecting all info I can meanwhile. |

trying this with a new audience: is there a way to renew *all* overdue loans? not just for one patron, but for all of them, in one fell swoop? |
| 12:35 |
jcamins |
magnuse: not that I know of. |
| 12:36 |
druthb |
it would be relatively easy to write a script to do that from the command line, but there's not a way to do that in the interface, surely. |
| 12:36 |

thanks jcamins, that's what i thought |

druthb |
hehehe. |

lol |
| 12:37 |

but yeah, it should not be too hard, if the objective really is to renew *everything*, without exceptions |
| 12:38 |
druthb |
What you'll wanna do is select itemnumber,borrowernumber from issues, then for each, check to see if it *can* be renewed (there's a C4::Circulation func for that, I think), then AddRenewal, IIRC |
| 12:38 |
jcamins |

there are libraries that want to send out reminders, but they don't want to lean heavily on patrons unless there are actually people waiting for a book |
| 12:40 |
jcamins |
Oh, they want more notices. |
| 12:41 |
magnuse |
hm, maybe |
| 12:41 |

Does anyone online at the moment have local laws requiring anonymization of circulation history? |
| 13:53 |
|
We do and I wonder a bit how to handle the fact that we want a decent amount of database backups which makes it possible to backtrack who borrowed what. |
| 13:53 |
drojf |
Viktor: we have to do that in germany AFAIK. kf might be an expert ;) |
| 13:54 |
Viktor |
I'll ask when I get the chance. |
| 13:54 |
|
alphaman left #koha |

I guess it might be ok since it's not really a way to snoop around accessible to regular librarians. But input is appreciated :) |
| 13:55 |
magnuse |
Viktor: we probably have very similar laws in norway. the question of backups is an interesting one, that i have never heard anyone mention |
| 13:55 |
Viktor |
I think so too magnuse |
| 13:56 |
drojf |
yeah it is an interesting question |
| 13:56 |
magnuse |
my plan is to ask the norwegian "data directorat" ("Datatilsynet") what they think |
| 13:56 |
Viktor |
I asked on Twitter to get local feedback but it's been quiet. |
| 13:56 |
magnuse |
in norway, they are the ones who have the official opinion on stuff like that |
| 13:56 |
kf |
Viktor: it depends on laws but not sure if there is explicit way to handle that |
| 13:56 |
|
you need a concept |
| 13:56 |
|
and you can't keep data you have no reason for to keep |
| 13:57 |
|
so what would a library do with information about who borrowed what? |
| 13:57 |
Viktor |
Interesting - we have Datainspektionen. They might know. They should :) |
| 13:57 |
kf |
you can argue that you want to keep the last borrower (for some time) becuase the book might be damaged |
| 13:57 |
magnuse |
kf: a concept? |
| 13:57 |
kf |
but even that is a bit difficult |
| 13:57 |
|
because when you don't notice on return at the circulation desk - how would you proof that this borrower was the one who damaged the book? |
| 13:57 |
|
you have to describe what data you store |
| 13:57 |
|
and when you delete it |
| 13:57 |
|
what you do with the data |
| 13:57 |
|
etc. |
| 13:58 |
|
at least I have to :) |
| 13:58 |
Viktor |
kf What we need isn't who borrowed what but being able to import older backups if more recent ones prove to be corrupt. |
| 13:58 |
magnuse |
kf: yeah, the ideal is immediate anonymization. but what if you feel like you have to keep backups for a month? |
| 13:58 |
|
or 2 or 3 months |
| 13:58 |
kf |
magnuse: don't forget to update items and reindex |
| 13:59 |
Viktor |
kf but I think we have quite similar laws. I recognize the way of thinking "explain why" |
| 13:59 |
kf |
Viktor: backups are different I think |
| 13:59 |
|
but you can't keep bakcups forever |
| 13:59 |
|
and you need someone who checks that the backups really work |
| 13:59 |
|
... |
| 13:59 |
|
we do a nightly full backup and hourly transaction logs |
| 13:59 |
|
but not sure how many days they are kept |
| 13:59 |

Viktor: I think a month old backup of circulation data won't help you |
| 14:01 |
jcamins |
Here in the US, libraries are encouraged to keep their circulation history so that the government can subpoena them. Most libraries choose to shred the information as soon as they can to avoid the pain of FBI investigations. |
| 14:01 |
magnuse |
it will if you have a total crash and corrupt backups and that is alll you are left with... ;-) |
| 14:01 |

one little question: it's possible to list a adittional attribute in patron cards? |
| 14:07 |
kf |
Viktor: hmm, how are backups and circ history related? couldn't you keep the backups and still anonymize immediately? |
| 14:07 |
|
vfernandes: I don't know - maybe it's in the manual or bugzilla |
| 14:08 |
vfernandes |
i've an attribute to save patron job, and I need to present it besides patron name |
| 14:08 |
Viktor |
kf Yes we do plan to anonymize immediately. But if I restore a backup from two weeks ago I can still see who had the book at the time? |
| 14:08 |
magnuse |
kf: but your backup will contain every checkout/loan/issue that was active at the time yu made the backup |
| 14:10 |
kf |
I guess I am confused now |
| 14:11 |
|
:) |
| 14:11 |
|
I think maybe different things |
| 14:11 |
|
part of data privacy is making sure the data is safe |
| 14:12 |
Viktor |
Yep. I like safe. |
| 14:13 |
|
It just dawned on me that a good backup plan for the database is in conflict with anonymizing loans (at least in theory). |
| 14:13 |
kf |
hm I amnot sure it is, but right now my brain is in knots :) |
| 14:13 |
magnuse |
kf: here's one view of it. libraries anonymize circ history so the fbi (or whoever) can't see what patrons have borrwed earlier. but if you have backups that go a long way back, the fbi could ask to see the backups, and so get access to at least a slice of the circ history |
| 14:13 |

khall |
chris_n, I'm the author for libki, so I can modify the client if needed. What I'd really like to do is integrate pykota with libki and koha. I want to be able to print as the libki username. So even if I'm logged in as 'public1', I'm logging into libki as 'khall'. So I need a way to send 'khall' as the print user. On the Koha side, I'll add some integration so creating 'print management fees' in Koha will add credits to the pykota da |
| 14:39 |
chris_n |
since the script can be written in any language, maybe you can munge up something in php and take advantage of libki's api |
| 14:39 |
|
heh |
| 14:39 |
|
there you go :-) |
| 14:41 |

I was hoping there would be a way for me to send the libki username as the user who is printing, but I don't know if it's possible. I can look up the username in the libki database, but I was hoping to avoid having to make a call to another server on the network. |

I ended up writing SIP2 code by hand for Libki. I figure it's probably faster that way anyway. |

When a borrower is created, would it be possible to assign patron-specific default messaging preferences? |
| 15:10 |
jcamins |
You can set a default for the category. |
| 15:10 |
|
Or set the actual messaging preferences for the patron. |
| 15:11 |
|
You can't really have a default that only applies to one person, though. |
| 15:11 |
datadoctor |
I understand. I'm experiencing a problem with legacy data. |
| 15:12 |
|
In the past, enhanced messaging was turned on, so I have some patrons with enhanced messaging preferences, and some depending upon category defaults. |
| 15:12 |
jcamins |
There's a script for resetting messaging preferences to category defaults. |
| 15:12 |
datadoctor |
Maybe I just need to delete the legacy messaging preferences, then the category defaults would take over. |
| 15:13 |
|
Wow! There is a script for that? |
| 15:13 |
jcamins |
Yes. |
| 15:13 |
datadoctor |
Very cool jcamins! |
| 15:13 |
kf |
datadoctor: hm be careful |
| 15:13 |
|
datadoctor: there is a script for that - but it doesn't work the way you said |
| 15:14 |
|
they never really depend on category defaults - only what's in the patron account counts |
| 15:14 |
|
if you create a new patron the defaults are copied into the patron account |
| 15:15 |
datadoctor |
hmmm...I only have 1,927 rows in my borrower_messaging_preferences. |
| 15:16 |
kf |
maybe I misunderstood |
| 15:16 |
datadoctor |
or I am missing something... |
| 15:16 |
kf |
but I think patrons that are not in borrower_messaging_preferences won't get notices |
| 15:16 |
druthb |
They'll get overdues, and nothing else. |
| 15:18 |

christophe_c left #koha |

Yes, we just turned on enhanced messaging preferences so that we can assign sms notifications for patrons. |
| 15:20 |
|
But found that only a small number of patrons have those preferences set - we're thinking the enhanced settings were turned on briefly in the past. |
| 15:21 |
|
I'm trying to figure out if I have to manually set everyone's messaging preferences ahead of time. |
| 15:22 |
|
We want the default behavior to be the same for each patron, but give them the ability to change their notification method later on, through the enhanced messaging preferences. |
| 15:24 |
|
The default behavior would be mobile no. sends to sms, no mobile + email sends to email, and no mobile, no email generates print notice. |
| 15:24 |
magnuse |
datadoctor: you can set defaults on the patron categories |
| 15:25 |
|
talljoy1 joined #koha |
| 15:25 |
jcamins |
datadoctor: now that you explain what you want, that's not possible. You can set the defaults, but there's no way to have Koha make decisions about what the defaults should be based on other criteria. |
| 15:26 |
datadoctor |
I am understanding what you are saying magnuse and jcamins. |
| 15:27 |
|
I'm imagining that to get the behavior I want I will have to script, using code from messaging.pm, to check the database for the conditions, for example mobile number present, |
| 15:27 |

nengard |
once those are pushed I'll test the variable patch |
| 15:28 |
datadoctor |
Then modify the specific patron messaging to assign sms notification to the patron. Thanks for helping me get a grip on the issue. |
| 15:29 |
|
I am understanding that what I want to do is a bit beyond what the system is set up to do right now. |
| 15:30 |
jcamins |
Yep, that is the only way I can see to do it. |
| 15:30 |
datadoctor |
The only way I could use the category defaults would be to assign new categories for "mobile" patrons, or "email" patrons. |
| 15:30 |
|
And that's not ideal. |
| 15:30 |
|
i would still have to modify each patron |
| 15:31 |
|
OK, thanks - I will let you know how this turns out. Our patrons really like our sms messaging service. We use a library consortium sms gateway to send the messages. |
| 15:31 |
|
Which are generated as e-mails. |
| 15:32 |
|
from Koha. |
| 15:33 |
|
We have a kind of failover built in to the overdue_notice.pl, to generate csv or html code if there is no e-mail address present. It would be ideal to include sms and other delivery methods in this failover capacity. |
| 15:34 |
|
If I come up with something useful, I will let y'all know! |
| 15:36 |
|
Correction: The emails are not generated by native Koha, it's a custom script for sending to the "mobile" number. |

General question, I have someone who claims that in Koha, when checking out items to someone with overdues, you only had to click the confirmation dialog once, and could then check out any number of items to the patron without seeing that warning again. I can find no proof of this. Can anyone verify or deny this claim? |

They say it was that way in 3.8 |
| 19:17 |

or at leat i believe os |

rangi: here's something that RDA could do: the 33x fields could be used to generate icons indicating the type of media. |
| 20:19 |

Totally unlike the way that you can do that with the 008. |
| 20:19 |
|
Wait. |
| 20:20 |
bag |
afternoon all |
| 20:20 |
jcamins |
bag: I was just thinking about you, actually. |
| 20:20 |
|
I was wondering if ByWater's RDA stylesheet did nice little icons for media types. |
| 20:21 |
bag |
actually I totally agree with you on that jared about the icons |
| 20:21 |
|
no icons yet |
| 20:21 |
|
actually edveal-phone is working on that |
| 20:21 |
|
I think he was just working on the XSLT part and Joy did the frameworks… |
| 20:21 |
|
as I understand it - RDA does add some new things into the 007 or 008? |
| 20:22 |
jcamins |
Yes. |
| 20:22 |
|
But more goes in the 33x fields. |
| 20:22 |

bag: hm rangi did the framework on the wiki |
| 20:23 |

yeah I think Joy did one as a blog post |

| 20:27 |
bag |
agreed jcamins :) |
| 20:28 |

I don't think we have anyone using it yet. we've got a few asking for the frameworks recently |

like maybe 5 or so |

Very cheap beers! |
| 22:21 |
|
I think you might be able to get two lousy beers for $12 here in New York. |

How did the the state get my name wrong? |

|
wizzyrea: are you around? |
| 22:29 |
wizzyrea |
hiyas, yep |
| 22:30 |
dcook |
do you remember if there is an existing bug for ranking cover images in the OPAC? |
| 22:30 |
bag |
ranking? |
| 22:30 |
dcook |
I keep thinking that oleonard had a bug for it or was at least talking about it.. |
| 22:31 |
|
bag: Yeah, so that you could choose to first look at Local images then Amazon images then Google images |
| 22:31 |
bag |
oh |
| 22:31 |
dcook |
And if you find an image then you stop checking the other services |
| 22:31 |
jcamins |
dcook: yeah, it's assigned to kmkale. |
| 22:31 |
wizzyrea |
well cascading the covers has been something that has been a problem for a long time |
| 22:31 |
bag |
well I know in 2009 or 2008 there was a patch from a guy at Howard county that started to look at that IIRC |
| 22:31 |
jcamins |
He won't be doing anything with it, though. |
| 22:32 |
bag |
Howard county that was an interesting one |
| 22:34 |
eythian |
it was? |
| 22:34 |
dcook |
Hmm, not finding the bug |
| 22:34 |
* dcook |
looks more thoroughly |

bug 7187 |

04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7187 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, kmkale, In Discussion , Prioritize cover image sources such as Amazon, Google and add fail over i.e. if first source fails, go to next |
| 22:35 |
dcook |
Just found it as you typed that :p |
| 22:35 |
wizzyrea |
I would be concerned that such a thing would cause performance delays |
| 22:35 |
dcook |
I wonder why it didn't come up when I just searched for kmkale.. |
| 22:36 |
wizzyrea |
but that kind of can't be helped I guess. |
| 22:36 |
dcook |
Hmm |
| 22:36 |
|
Maybe |
| 22:36 |
|
Depending on how it checks, I could see it improving performance, no? |
| 22:37 |
jcamins |
wizzyrea: I have a jury-rigged priority thing that loads both simultaneously, and tosses the efforts that didn't work and/or selects the preferred. |
| 22:37 |
wizzyrea |
that would be good |
| 22:37 |
jcamins |
Unfortunately, it does that by taking advantage of peculiarities in the OPAC I'm using it on. |
| 22:38 |
eythian |
I've been planning a nice fancy way of doing this, but been waiting for libraries to want to give us money for it. |
| 22:39 |
* wizzyrea |
points at the awesome jar |
| 22:39 |
wizzyrea |
oh wait. |
| 22:39 |
|
drats. |
| 22:39 |
jcamins |
Ditto. |
| 22:40 |
|
Though mostly I'm waiting for someone to pay you to do it. |
| 22:41 |
dcook |
Yeah, admittedly, I don't have any real incentive at the moment to do it either, since it hasn't come up as a priority |
| 22:43 |
|
It might be worth it to still add a function to delete "no cover image" found if there is an image thumbnail existing for that record though |
| 22:43 |
|
Although again...we don't really deal with that, as we mostly hide the "no cover image available" anyway |
