00:24 mtj dcook, have a go with znc, as a irc bouncer/proxy thingy -> http://wiki.znc.in/Installation
00:25 its idiot-proof
00:26 dcook hehe
00:26 mtj: I was looking at znc a little bit earlier
00:26 Does look like a pretty straightforward install
00:27 Not really sure where to run it though
00:27 I thought about running it from home, but that server is more for fun/learning than anything, so I don't want to leave it on all the time
00:29 mtj yeah, finding a suitable box to run your always-on bouncer, can be a problem
00:31 as wiz said… its a perfect little project for an rpi
00:32 plug it into your home network - always on, low-power… just sits there doing its thing
00:33 dcook Hmmm...that's not a bad idea...
00:33 I've been thinking about picking one up even just to use as a media centre
00:36 Seems pretty common for people to run xbmc on it

00:44 jcamins wizzyrea, it occurs to me there is probably a severe performance penalty for remote stylesheets, but I haven't tried.
00:45 That struck me at 10k feet.
00:46 mtj jcamins, lets hope thats the only thing to strike you at 10k feet!
00:46 jcamins lol
00:46 Thankfully it was.
00:46 We are presently sittinf on the plane waiting for a gate to open in Atlanta.
00:47 mtj hmm, i can see how that might be a speed hit, jcamins  :/
00:47 jcamins Yay! We have a gate!
00:47 Yup. Round trip every query.
00:48 mtj hopefully some network caching, helping out there… but still :/

00:49 mtompset Greetings, #koha.

02:06 eythian wahanui: git tips is http://blog.apiaxle.com/post/h[…]ou-getting-fired/
02:06 wahanui OK, eythian.
02:38 * mtj goes on a little twitter RT bender...
02:39 rangi heh
03:38 talljoy joined #koha
03:56 eythian wahanui: oh no is <reply>http://media.moddb.com/images/[…]33/collapsing.gif
03:56 wahanui ...but no is <reply>http://i.imgur.com/hVVuP.jpg...
03:56 eythian wahanui: oh no is also <reply>http://media.moddb.com/images/[…]33/collapsing.gif
03:56 wahanui okay, eythian.
03:56 wizzyrea oh no!
03:56 hm
03:56 oh no
03:56 oh no?
03:56 wahanui http://media.moddb.com/images/[…]33/collapsing.gif
03:56 eythian I think it's too short to trigger normally
03:57 wizzyrea how about noooooooo
03:57 ah that made me laugh.
03:58 mtj yeah, that was flippin sweet
04:00 rangi what?
04:00 hmmm
04:08 bag evening all
04:09 wizzyrea hmm?
04:17 dcook evening, bag
04:18 bag hey dcook
04:19 mtj rangi, the collasping gif ^^
04:24 jcamins 00:25 and I am off the plane. I kind of wish we'd flown back earlier.
04:33 eythian where'd you go?
04:45 jcamins San Antonio for a wedding.
04:45 eythian ah right
04:45 why is contactnote associated with the alt address, and not called altcontactnote like would make sense?
04:46 I'd also quite like a "department" field for professional users.
04:46 jcamins To drive you batty?
04:46 wizzyrea I think dcook asked about that too
04:47 because it's the note, associated with the alternate contact
04:47 eythian jcamins: seems plausible
04:47 wizzyrea: yes, associated with fields like "altcontactfirstname" :)
04:48 wizzyrea :)
04:48 I dind't say it was logical or rational
04:48 just that it is.
04:48 eythian yeah
04:49 oh well
04:49 wizzyrea i wonder how many times I've said that in #koha
04:49 eythian fax         => curry(\&literal, 'fax'), # Polio
04:49 teehee
04:53 bag: http://whiskyweb.co.uk/
04:54 bag :)
05:00 dcook Hmm?
05:00 Nothing like a fire alarm to give you a reason to stretch the legs
05:02 eythian: Yeah...I wondered the same thing about contactnote. Still not a fan of that one...
05:02 As for "department", we usually use sort1 or sort2 using authorized values and change of the template either using JQuery or a hard-coded change
05:02 eythian yeah. Could do with a revisit some time, that whole area.
05:02 hmm, not a silly idea actually
05:02 I was thinking of just using 'address'
05:04 dcook Agreed about the re-visit. A lot of the field names are counterintuitive like phonepro and phone being called primary phone and other phone
05:04 Same with email addresses
05:04 It's a bit inconsistent and confusing :/
05:04 I think the edit screen doesn't match the patron detail screen either...
05:05 * dcook should really split his commit and re-submit regarding that one...
05:05 eythian yeah
05:05 it wouldn't be too hard to fix, either
05:07 dcook Well, Owen suggested that there was possibly a reason for it
05:07 * dcook rummages around for a minute
05:07 eythian there may have been, once upon a time
05:07 dcook bug 9383
05:07 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=9383 minor, P5 - low, ---, dcook, In Discussion , Bad logic, missing params, and irregular labeling for Members scripts
05:08 dcook Ah, right. It also gets more complicated, based on the type of patron category...
05:08 :S
05:08 Oh wait, I think Owen was actually trying to start a discussion
05:08 eythian yeah, but not hugely
05:09 > Maybe we should take a step back and try to isolate what differences are really necessary and what differences might have originated with some library's specific needs.
05:09 yes, this
05:10 dcook mhm
05:13 If I read my own notes correctly, the category_type conditions didn't actually work
05:13 Because the category_type variable wasn't being passed to the template
05:13 I suppose instead of fixing it, we could scrap it...
05:13 eythian they definitely do work
05:14 but, they always used a slightly odd method
05:15 dcook Odd indeed
05:18 bag eythian: what did you think of the hobbit?
05:18 movie that is
05:18 :P
05:18 eythian It was pretty good, I thought
05:18 druthb o/
05:20 http://www.burpandfartpiano.com/    #oddest things end up in my Facebook timeline...
05:20 bag I thought that radagast was too much, and the white orc…
05:20 heya druthb
05:22 besides that I liked it…  I thought PJ did change the burning trees part a little more than my imagination had built it
05:23 WaqarAzeem joined #koha
05:27 eythian yeah, there were bits I thought were a bit much, and it could have been a fair bit shorter.
05:29 dcook But then how could you get a proper PJ triology? :p
05:29 trilogy*
05:34 cait joined #koha
05:34 eythian go to bed, cait
05:35 bag I'm still excited to see the next one though
05:36 eythian you have a while to wait :)
05:38 magnuse wtf? another 25 cm of snow during the night?
05:38 * magnuse waves resignedly
05:39 cait eythian: i think my boss wouldn't like that
05:39 morning all
05:40 eythian I wouldn't tell
05:41 dcook morning, cait
05:42 bag hey cait
05:43 cait eythian: thx, but I still better get ready for work :)
05:46 eythian > Staff
05:46 > Patrons within the staff category will have access to the staff client.
05:46 that's not quite right...
05:47 cait if you give them permissions...
05:47 dcook http://www.htmlhelp.com/refere[…]ock/noscript.html
05:47 Garrr
05:47 eythian yeah, but AIUI, the category has no bearing on it at all
05:48 cait there was more about ti
05:48 hm
05:48 but probably not much left in the coe by now
05:51 dcook To clarify the "Garrr", it's the limit of elements that can contain noscript tags...
05:52 24 bugs? That doesn't sound right...

06:20 dcook At least it's not snowing?

06:22 huginn bag: The current temperature in Westside, Santa Barbara, California is 13.0°C (11:22 PM PDT on April 08, 2013). Conditions: Clear. Humidity: 53%. Dew Point: 3.0°C. Pressure: 29.84 in 1010 hPa (Rising). High Wind Warning in effect until 6 am PDT Tuesday...
06:23 bag yeah the wind last night was CRAZY…  it was blowing through the palm trees - and it sounded like jet engines
06:23 I heard it got up to 130 mph just a little bit down the coast from us
06:23 dcook O_O
06:23 We have a mango tree in our back yard, so any time the wind started up in the summer, we would hear some fairly regular "thumps" on the roof
06:24 bag HA
06:24 dcook A bit disconcerting the first few times until we figured it out ;)
06:24 130 mph?
06:24 Sweet jesus...
06:24 cait dcook: no snow - quite spring like even with sun
06:24 dcook cait :)
06:24 bag yeah 130 mph
06:24 dcook What sort of damage happened?
06:25 bag our table umbrella was in the neighbors yard when we woke up
06:25 lots of trees down and palm fronds all over the place
06:26 but not a single palm tree was knocked down - those things are awesome in the wind
06:26 dcook Wow...that is rather remarkable
06:26 * dcook is pretty impressed by the palm tree in his front yard
06:26 dcook The thing practically lords over the rest of the yard
06:27 At 130mph, I imagine houses must've had a rather rough go...
06:27 bag I think that's gusts
06:27 and it was a spot on the coast where there isn't really much to slow it down at all
06:28 around us about 20 miles north - we had some big gusts maybe about 80 or so - but nothing insane for damage - besides trees down...
06:28 dcook Ahhh, ok
06:28 bag but honestly I don't know or heard about major house damage
06:28 dcook When I was a kid, some of the stories were unreal
06:28 bag but the sound of the wind through the palm trees sounded like jet engines
06:28 and my car was blown around on the ride to work
06:28 dcook A town about an hour away from mine...street signs were bent in half by the wind
06:29 Eeep!
06:29 bag the park I drive by everyday - there sign was gone
06:29 blew into the ocean
06:29 dcook Hope the environment never gets too angry at us...
06:29 Or Nausicaa is going to look like a picnic in the park
06:30 bag ha
06:31 I think they have famous named winds here?  like Santa Ana winds or something like that
06:31 @google santa ana winds

06:37 BobB its not really winter.  I call it Not_Summer
06:37 dcook hehe
06:37 BobB We have two seasons: summer and not summer

06:38 Yes we're thinking about it.
06:38 bag good good :)
06:38 BobB I have to come to the States in June for business, so its not certain we'll be back in October ..
06:38 bag if you are thinking of traveling afterwards - let me know - you both always have a spot to crash in Santa Barbara if you want to
06:38 BobB ... at least not both of us,
06:39 but we'd sure like to
06:39 Wow, very nice.  Irma asks if you have a cat?  (She likes cats.)
06:39 bag we have a dog
06:40 BobB Ahh, dogs are ok too.
06:40 bag but he doesn't shed
06:40 BobB At least they react.  They are warm.
06:40 bag and he's super polite
06:40 BobB There's a saying, dogs have masters, cats have staff!
06:41 Santa Barbara is not LA eh?
06:41 Its north of?
06:41 bag the real attraction is Sonja (wicked nice and sweet) and Ginny
06:41 BobB lol
06:41 bag it's a little north about an hour and half by car
06:41 of LA
06:41 shalom anyone can help me on my KOHA acquisition issue here?
06:42 bag BobB: http://www.youtube.com/channel[…]7M7Q?feature=mhee
06:42 BobB I have to go to Las Vegas.  There is almost nowhere I want to go less.
06:42 bag oh man Vegas…
06:42 that's about a 6 hour drive from here
06:42 but if you've got a fast car - 4.5 hours
06:43 BobB Just gorgeous.  Love the hat!
06:43 cait shalom: normally just ask your question and someone will if they have an idea
06:44 shalom i have set AcqCreateItem at receiving an order, create ACQ framework, set 952 subfield 7
06:44 BobB anyway, chance to do Las Vegas and Reno in the same year.  Why not?
06:44 dcook Gotta jet early today folks. Take care!
06:44 shalom but i can only get a blank box under the item label
06:45 BobB what browser are you using?
06:45 shalom ie

08:12 Dalian1 Hi, we started implementing Koha system and I don't know where to modify or add information in order to have two languages for OPAC and library staff interfaces. Can someone help me with this ?
08:14 kf install additional languages?
08:14 hm one second
08:15 Dalian1 plus English I want to have another language
08:15 from where ? I checked quickly the User Manuel but no clue about this issue.
08:16 kf http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ANET_staff_client
08:17 you need to run a script on command line to install the language
08:17 then you can activate it in the system preferences
08:17 laurence joined #koha
08:29 Dalian1 Great. I will try this thanks for your prompt reply.
08:58 vfernandes joined #koha
08:58 vfernandes hi :)
08:59 two questions people
09:00 1 - Its possible to charge a patron on the first overdue day, and then after 5 days, 10 days, 15 days (charge with a interval of 5 days)?
09:01 kf vfernandes: difficult question
09:01 currently not, because when you give grace 0 with interval 5
09:01 it will charge the first time after 5 days (implicit grace period)
09:01 but it might work better in 3.12 with the new pref kyle did
09:02 I didn't have a chance to take a look at that yet tho
09:02 vfernandes so isn't possible...
09:02 kf look at bug 9768
09:02 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=9768 normal, P5 - low, ---, katrin.fischer, ASSIGNED , Problem with grace period calculation and fine intervals >1
09:02 vfernandes ok thanks...
09:04 the only way I see to workaround the problem is to charge after 5 days and then create a manual invoce
09:07 kf vfernandes:  not sure I understand you
09:07 the problem in your description is the charge the day after overdue
09:07 vfernandes yes...
09:07 kf that only works with fine interval 1
09:08 vfernandes don't worry kf... I already let know the client that isn't possible
09:08 :)
09:08 kf oh ok
09:09 vfernandes sometimes we need to say "NO" to the clients.... ehehe
09:10 kf yeah... I am known to be not too good at that :)
09:11 vfernandes second question (tricky one)
09:12 i'm doing a update from 2.2.8 to 3.0.... everything worked fine with biblio, but with authorities not, because move_marc_to_authheader.pl script is only for UNIMARC
09:13 so I need to change the script
09:14 in UNIMARC field 100 and 152 (type of authority) is filled automatically by the script, in MARC21 which should be the default fields?
09:17 kf hm not sure really
09:18 i am not sure what it does and what the fields in unimarc are
09:19 vfernandes UNIMARC field 100 - Geral processing data
09:20 UNIMARC field 152 - Rules (normally to insert the authority type)
09:33 kf sorry, I don't knwo how that works
09:51 vfernandes the problem is that move_marc_to_authheader.pl only works to UNIMARC

12:25 * kf waves
12:25 kf oleonard: did you see my comment?
12:25 oleonard Where?
12:26 kf I passed qa on the circ datatables
12:26 and I noticed that I was testing it wrong all the time :(
12:26 the date sorting problem is on the details tab
12:26 oleonard Oh yes I did see that
12:26 And there is already a bug report for the details tab sort
12:26 kf wonderful :)
12:28 oleonard kf: I'm going to set Bug 9905 back to "signed off" so that you can test it again with 9887 applied. Is that okay?

12:28 kf oleonard: of course :)
12:28 you can leave a note too: test with 9887 stupid ;)
12:28 oleonard: can I get some native speaker advice too?
12:28 oleonard Sure
12:28 kf serials subscriptions or serial subscriptions?
12:29 oleonard I think serials, but get another opinion too. jcamins maybe?
12:29 Or nengard?
12:29 wahanui i guess nengard is fast
12:30 pastebot "nengard" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "can anyone tell me why each line is duplicated in this report? I want overdues with the fines owed" (14 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/465
12:30 nengard (actually if we're doing wishlist - I want overdues with fines owed more than $100 total)
12:30 I missed the discussion .. .what can I help with ... reading back
12:30 kf one sec
12:30 uploading screenshot
12:32 serials subscriptions or serial subscriptions? :)
12:32 and also, the first tab - Ithink should be open? (not past?)
12:32 nengard Hmmm
12:32 I think it could go both ways
12:33 I'm okay with it staying the way it is
12:33 kf which one?
12:33 both?
12:33 wahanui both are doing fine
12:34 nengard Serials Subscriptions
12:35 it can stay that way - but Serial Subscriptions is also right - that's why I said it could go both ways
12:35 kf ok
12:35 what about opened?
12:35 nengard No, that should be 'Open'
12:35 kf hm ok
12:36 nengard They are currently Open
12:36 kf yeah, that's what I was thinking
12:36 I will file a tiny bug
12:37 nengard kf do you have any suggestions for my report question above? It got lost in this discussion
12:37 kf i took a look at it
12:37 but I am not seeing it

13:22 i marked it from git bz - then I added the comment. sometimes the status pull down has the old value then and it gets changed
13:22 drojf does the -D parameter for build-git-snapshot have no effect or is that just me? when i put -D squeeze i get --force-distribution -D "squeeze-dev" anyway?
13:23 kf oleonard: sorry for 10001 - picked the wrong module

13:26 bit too busy here :)
13:27 oleonard I don't want to do a new patch if I don't have to :)
13:27 drojf magnuse: i just changed the default values last time and forgot about it, but that does not seem like the straight forward way to do it ;)
13:27 kf oleonard: ok :)
13:38 drojf yay, harddisk full while building package. every. damn. time.
13:39 kf i guess 'don't build packages then' wuld not be a good advice
13:41 drojf no. "use your brain, use the right vm and don't collect so much garbage on your harddisk" might be a concept to follow. next time ;)

15:36 jcamins kf: "Immer bereit" -- is that German?
15:36 It might be spelled wrong.
15:36 drojf are you asking if those are german words or if it makes sense?
15:36 kf heh
15:37 jcamins: always ready.
15:37 jcamins drojf: the former, but I'd also be interested to know if it makes sense.
15:37 kf and hello jcamins :)
15:37 jcamins Hello. :)
15:38 * kf is testing a brand new shiny package installed master installation right now
15:38 drojf depends on the context, but "allzeit bereit" might make more sense
15:38 kf and so far apart from some weird translations looks good
15:38 jcamins: do you need a translation?
15:38 jcamins drojf: it's transliterated from Russian.
15:38 kf oh
15:38 what#s the russian?
15:38 drojf ah
15:38 jcamins "Immer berait"
15:39 Which isn't at all Russian-looking, and I thought it looked German. :)
15:39 kf and always ready makes no sense?
15:39 yeah, it does
15:39 jcamins No, that makes perfect sense.
15:39 I just wasn't certain it was German, and I wanted to be sure before I wrote that it was. ;)

15:40 jcamins Ah.

15:50 is there a good forum I can use to find them/
15:50 ?
15:50 I want to know specifically about data conversion

15:52 cabusmichael Okay, I'll check the wiki...I've had it with SirsiDynix :)
15:52 kf also lib web cats maybe
15:52 jcamins cabusmichael: what type of library do you work for?
15:52 kf it should be albe to research for libraries that left sirsi for koha there
15:52 cabusmichael Academic
15:52 Small academic
15:53 jcamins Yeah, there've been a bunch of libraries that went Sirsi -> Koha.
15:53 druthb cabusmichael:   There have been a *bunch* of them, and I did migrations on quite a few.
15:53 jcamins libwebcats is a good idea.
15:53 cabusmichael Awesome...good to know...
15:54 A librarian here thinks the data conversion is impossible
15:54 But others must have done it
15:54 druthb They're dead wrong.
15:54 jcamins Conversion is perfectly doable.
15:54 druthb I've done it, a *lot*.  Serials and Acquisitions from SirsiDynix are a little hard, but the rest is *trivially* easy, once you have the know-how and tools.
15:55 cabusmichael Awesome...I'll do some research...
16:00 nengard hi cabusmichael>
16:01 cabusmichael druthb is right (and she's the expert) it can totally be done and has been done a ton of times
16:01 you might even look at lib-web-cats and do a search for libraries that switched from your product to Koha

16:33 hankbank joined #koha
16:36 Dyrcona I missed the previous conversation. Which SirsiDynix product are we talking about?
16:37 * Dyrcona has experience extracting data from Horizon.
16:37 jcamins Dyrcona: I think all SD products lead to misery and attempts at extortion.
16:37 ;)
16:38 Dyrcona jcamins: Horizon is simple to get data out of because you have the database right there in either Sybase or MS SQLServer.
16:41 * Dyrcona has shared some sample code via git for migrating from Horizon to Evergreen. I'll post the URL is anyone asks to look at it.
16:41 Dyrcona I don't thing it would be simple to translate it to Koha, but the code to pull data from Horizon would likely not change.
16:44 kf is printcirculationslips deprecated?
16:47 oleonard Looks to me like it is
