Time Nick Message
00:06 mtompset giving ubuntu 13.04 beta 2 a whirl. :)
00:49 Nice... Looks like Koha sets up nice under 13.04 for packages. :)
00:50 (I used squeeze-dev)
01:05 ubuntu 13.04, that is.
01:05 (beta 2)
01:22 dcook joined #koha
01:34 mtompset Greetings, dcook.
01:34 dcook hey ya mtompset
01:39 Does anyone use Solr for indexing other than BibLibre?
01:40 rangi not me
01:43 dcook Nor would you?
01:44 rangi naw, no advantage
01:44 everything ppl blame on zebra, are problems we totally created ourselves
01:45 dcook With perhaps the exception of not having an active development community
01:45 Overall, Zebra seems to work pretty well
01:45 jcamins Also, the Solr implementation we have now doesn't work.
01:45 dcook My only complaints would be the config files (which...you get used to)
01:46 jcamins Kind of a critical error.
01:46 dcook jcamins: I thought that was the case as well ;)
01:46 So BibLibre has a successful implementation, but their code hasn't come over?
01:46 jcamins That is my assumption.
01:46 dcook Same
01:47 rangi: What's your take on the facets issue?
01:47 Is that one of the issues that we created ourselves or is that a limitation of Zebra?
01:48 jcamins Our fault, mostly.
01:48 rangi not sure about that jcamins would know, but im guessing our fault
01:48 *snap*
01:49 dcook Hmm
01:50 jcamins I mean, solr has better faceting than Zebra, but Zebra has better faceting than Koha.
01:51 dcook Mmm
01:52 But then the diacritic issue comes up that they mention in the RFC
01:52 With Zebra facets
01:54 jcamins It's possible to get raw facets out of Zebra.
02:03 dcook So I assume that we haven't "fixed" facets in Zebra because there hasn't been the financial support to do it yet?
02:03 Zebra = Koha
02:04 jcamins Right.
02:04 It was part of my search rewrite proposal.
02:05 dcook Koha really needs to win the lottery or put together some sort of donation service..
02:06 Interesting fact
02:06 Saskatchewan lotteries actually puts quite a bit of money into public libraries
02:08 jcamins Most of the special collections in the UK get a sizable portion of the acquisition budgets from the National Lottery Fund.
02:08 rangi dcook: basically we need to join something like SPI to hold the money first
02:08 then we can collect it
02:09 dcook rangi: SPI?
02:09 wahanui SPI is just a way to hold/traffic assets
02:09 dcook jcamins: That's cool
02:09 rangi http://spi-inc.org/
02:09 dcook I was just about to ask if that was the link
02:10 rangi debian, jenkins, libreoffice etc
02:10 use it
02:10 postgres too
02:11 http://www.spi-inc.org/projects/services/
02:11 wizzyrea in good company :)
02:11 dcook Sounds great
02:12 rangi http://www.spi-inc.org/project[…]ed-project-howto/
02:12 not too complicated either
02:13 dcook Might not be the easiest to donate to though
02:14 4.5% from credit cards then 5% for overhead
02:14 Doesn't that work out to more than some of the other services that you were looking at before?
02:14 Surprised to see them mention "checks" so much
02:14 I didn't know that people really used them anymore
02:14 jcamins Hehe.
02:14 Only in the US.
02:15 rangi dcook: those services are just for random things, and don't really span project stuff
02:15 spi can also hold the TMs, koha-community.org etc
02:15 dcook Interesting
02:15 wahanui Interesting is sometimes good and sometimes bad
02:16 dcook The fact that other big projects are associated certainly makes it seem more attractive
02:17 rangi its a good way to safely put things the whole community own
02:18 dcook Sounds good to me
02:21 bag evening
02:22 rangi hey bag
02:23 bag yo rangi
02:23 sad day here
02:23 rangi yeah, i saw, what a mess
02:23 bag yeah mess is right - you can say that again
02:29 mtj hi all  - sorry to hear the news from boston :(
02:31 bag hey mtj
02:31 mtj jcamins, there is one big feature solr has, thats missing from zebra….  good searching of CJK ngrams
02:31 bag yup not good
02:31 jcamins mtj: yeah, but I'd rather have searching work for the languages I use first.
02:32 dcook evening bag
02:32 mtj jcamins. yes, of course….
02:32 bag hey dcook
02:33 dcook mtj: Personally, I'd love to see a Koha that could be DB and Indexer independent, but...easier said than done
02:34 jcamins Yeah, that would be the ideal.
02:34 rangi the search rewrite was moving us in that direction
02:34 dcook was?
02:35 jcamins Yes, the author got sick of it, and after he finishes some bugfixes to the first part, he's declaring it over as far as he's concerned.
02:35 dcook Mmm, fair enough
02:36 mtj so, for us non-CJK users… there is not much difference in features between solr and zebra , for koha
02:36 jcamins Ideally someone else would pick it up after I wrote up what needed to be done, but most people knew it was a bad idea without trying first.
02:36 dcook The author has done a lot of work, and I certainly wouldn't fault them for getting sick of it
02:36 Bad idea meaning an overly ambition idea?
02:37 jcamins Right.
02:37 mtj but for CJK users, solr gives them a chance at decent search results - that zebra cant
02:37 eythian gar, finally got master building again.
02:37 dcook mtj: I think there are criticisms of Zebra's ability to handle diacritics for roman scripts as well
02:37 wizzyrea confetti!
02:37 wahanui o/ '`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`
02:37 dcook Yay eythian!
02:38 wizzyrea confetti makes me laugh every time.
02:38 dcook Certainly, Zebra doesn't play super nicely with ICU...
02:38 jcamins Even though I planned the development so as to be fairly incremental, the fact is even small changes are difficult to make.
02:38 dcook I imagine there must be quite a few factors that contribute that as well, eh, jcamins?
02:38 Being the most highly used module and all
02:38 Or at least one of the most highly used
02:39 bag any rewrite is ambitous ^^^ khall_away see that :)
02:39 jcamins Yes, with some of the worst code.
02:39 But honestly what made me give up was not the code. It was the process.
02:39 bag oh yeah search has the worst bloated code
02:39 maybe more bloated than worse :P
02:40 dcook How do you mean process?
02:40 mtj eythian++
02:43 jcamins In order to get a significant development like the search rewrite into 3.12, several dozen worthy features had to be dropped.
02:43 bag *sigh*
02:43 jcamins And keep in mind, that first patch? That was the simple, low-risk patch!
02:45 Part of the problem is that there is absolutely no one whose job it is to make sure that Koha continues to progress.
02:45 eythian @later tell gmcharlt can you please put bug 10018 and bug 10061 into master? They're needed for package builds.
02:45 huginn eythian: The operation succeeded.
02:46 bag jcamins: are we ever going to change that?
02:46 jcamins bag: I'm not.
02:46 And there won't be while Koha isn't part of SPI or some other organization like that.
02:46 bag yup would be nice to have a FTE koha person
02:47 I think we will one day…  someone who works for koha :)
02:47 only koha
02:47 dcook But one day will only happen if someone makes it happen
02:47 bag I'll make it happen
02:48 dcook :)
02:48 bag give me another year and then that will be my project :)
02:48 WE CAN DO IT :)
02:48 dcook Someone who works full time on Koha or to make Koha part of SPI?
02:48 hehe
02:48 * dcook likes bag's optimism
02:48 bag heh
02:48 that was a heh for dcook not jcamins [off] :P
02:49 nothing is impossible
02:49 dcook bag++
02:50 wizzyrea actually the trolls have been rather quiet lately
02:50 bag that's true
02:50 jcamins wizzyrea: except for any time I send a message to the list, unfortunately.
02:51 bag nobody is picking on you jared
02:51 jcamins I guess more of the responses that I've been ignoring have been directed to me personally, though, haven't they?
02:51 bag it happens to use all
02:51 jcamins bag: I don't think they are.
02:51 bag good
02:51 jcamins What I do think is that those people will prevent us making any forward movement.
02:52 wizzyrea I am sure you'd be happy to be wrong.
02:52 jcamins Very happy.
02:53 bag well let's make you happy :)
02:55 eythian @later tell tcohen your wish is my command* (finally.) New master packages uploaded. [* single use only, not valid any more]
02:55 huginn eythian: The operation succeeded.
02:56 jcamins I honestly believe that if we could organize under SPI or the other organization we could probably fix 75% of our organizational problems in a matter of six months. I just think that our organizational problems will prevent that.
02:59 bag I attended a quaker college.  So I'm used to this sort of organization…  I does drive you crazy at times. but I've always liked it
02:59 jcamins Hm.
02:59 Is there a bug described in that proprietary file?
03:00 eythian The problem with it is it can make large, sweeping changes very, very difficult.
03:00 jcamins: file?
03:00 wahanui file is saved in the koha server itself
03:00 jcamins eythian: bug 10062.
03:00 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=10062 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, NEW , Attached item from a deleted record
03:01 eythian ah
03:01 word docs appear to be the standard medium for transferring screenshots, for whatever reason.
03:02 wizzyrea i die a little inside each time.
03:03 jcamins I don't even know how one would go about putting screenshots in a Word document.
03:03 eythian wizzyrea has now completed her transformation into a lich, we get so many of them.
03:03 wizzyrea wizzyrea?
03:03 wahanui you are, like, a Cylon, and they all have plans
03:03 wizzyrea no, I'm a robot.
03:03 more like a cyberman really
03:05 jcamins "You are incompatibile"?
03:05 *incompatible
03:08 bag oh wizzyrea I think nengard rants about that all the time
03:08 I think she has written blog posts about that
03:08 dcook hehe
03:08 bag drives her crazy too
03:09 dcook Yes, I get those as well
03:09 The twitching varies from email to email, day to day
03:09 * wizzyrea would never actually tell a librarian that it drives me nuts, because I'm simply thankful that they gave me a screenshot... but I do die a little each time.
03:09 jcamins bag: several blog posts, I think. My favorite comment on one of those was the person who posted "Microsoft Word is a great way to share screenshots."
03:09 bag heh
03:10 mtj sceenshots in word docs is one of my pet peeves, too
03:10 wizzyrea I use shutter on ubuntu, it's as close to jing as you can get with linux.
03:10 rangi just take a screenshot of opening it and send it back
03:10 wizzyrea all of the screen*shot* capabiility
03:10 but no screen*cast* capability
03:11 rangi actually make a movie of opening it and send it as an mp4
03:11 i see you bloat and raise you 50501
03:11 wizzyrea or a .ogg
03:11 that always goes over well.
03:13 jcamins Hehe.
03:14 dcook Subtitles could help with troubleshooting...
03:14 wizzyrea when I do screencasts
03:15 often I do them silently
03:15 but use an input box on the screen to narrate.
03:15 mtj jcamins, fwiw, i think we have gotten much much better at stopping trolls within the project
03:15 wizzyrea and in truth, sometimes those people who impede progress, impede us from doing impossibly stupid things like letting a single company take over.
03:16 rangi http://blog.timbunce.org/2013/[…]laming-precision/
03:16 jcamins mtj: we have, no doubt.
03:16 rangi moar flames
03:17 jcamins I have no idea what it means, but that graph looks *awesome*!
03:17 rangi hehe
03:17 http://dtrace.org/blogs/brenda[…]2/mysql-flame.png
03:18 wizzyrea preeeeety
03:18 rangi thats for a stack trace
03:18 you can spot the slow things easier
03:18 (time across the bottom)
03:18 so for perl
03:18 https://timbunce.files.wordpre[…]v5-flamegraph.png
03:19 i suspect it would make some interesting graphs for koha
03:20 eythian http://favim.com/orig/201108/2[…]im.com-127405.jpg <-- wizzyrea, you should use intertitles.
03:20 that one in particular
03:26 bag rangi++  #cool info :)
03:34 * wizzyrea is going to start putting silent movie music on all screencasts
03:35 jcamins wizzyrea: that will make me much more likely to watch your entire screencasts.
03:35 Especially if they have werewolf-related intertitles.
03:37 wizzyrea keke
03:40 * jcamins notices the time, calls it a night.
03:40 jcamins Good night, #koha.
03:41 eythian later jcamins
03:41 rangi cya jcamins
03:42 bag should we call this time west coast and far coast?
03:42 :P
03:43 eythian Both coasts are in the same time zone, so I don't see what it'd change really
03:44 wizzyrea time zone "yesterday"
03:44 dcook G'night, jcamins
03:52 * dcook just found the "maxRecordsForFacets" system preference
03:53 dcook I assume this is the one that has a cap of 500 records mentioned here: http://www.biblibre.com/en/blo[…]lopments-for-koha
03:53 Certainly a handy syspref to know about though!
03:56 Hmm, quite an old preference...
03:56 Also has a default of 20
03:56 3.03...
03:56 * dcook stops rambling about facets
03:58 bag or facts :P
03:58 hehe
03:58 just kidding dcook
04:07 cait joined #koha
04:18 dcook bag: :p
04:18 * dcook waves to cait
04:18 * cait waves :)
04:19 bag heya cait
04:20 eythian hi cait
04:22 cait hi eythian
04:24 eythian wahanui: cait is also <reply>go back to bed, cait.
04:24 wahanui okay, eythian.
04:24 dcook I'm not actually seeing any limit to "maxRecordsForFacets"...
04:25 bag should there be a limit?
04:25 oh yes limit should be number of results
04:25 dcook I suppose that should be the only limit
04:26 cait dcook: theproblem is performance
04:26 dcook Yeah
04:26 That's what I was about to say
04:26 cait it looks at all records, it would really slow down things
04:26 dcook If you're trying to get facets for thousands of records
04:26 Hmm
04:26 Intriguing
04:26 I suppose this set up allows the librarian to make the call
04:27 Being exhaustive vs. being quick
04:28 20 seems like a rather low default though
04:28 *shrug*
04:28 cait yeah
04:28 we use higher - but not sure how high
04:28 bag ah 20 is fast :)
04:28 cait depends abit on collection size
04:29 dcook 20 is heaps fast hehe
04:29 cait it used to be hardcoded 20 before the sys pref was done
04:29 dcook Ahh
04:29 It still has a hardcoded default if the system preference isn't set
04:30 ++ to whoever put in that syspref
04:30 cait iirc fredericd
04:30 but I might be mistaken :)
04:46 eythian @wunder nzwn
04:46 huginn eythian: The current temperature in Wellington, New Zealand is 17.0°C (4:00 PM NZST on April 16, 2013). Conditions: Scattered Clouds. Humidity: 82%. Dew Point: 14.0°C. Pressure: 29.74 in 1007 hPa (Steady).
04:48 dcook @wunder Sydney, Australia
04:48 huginn dcook: The current temperature in Sydney, New South Wales is 20.0°C (2:30 PM EST on April 16, 2013). Conditions: Scattered Clouds. Humidity: 78%. Dew Point: 16.0°C. Pressure: 29.92 in 1013 hPa (Steady).
04:48 dcook Hmm, looks warmer outside
04:49 bag night all
04:49 wahanui goodnight bag. You'll be back.
04:49 bag :)
04:49 dcook bonne nuit, bag
04:49 Hope it was a decent monday
05:42 cait @wunder Konstanz
05:42 huginn cait: The current temperature in Taegerwilen, Taegerwilen, Germany is 12.9°C (7:40 AM CEST on April 16, 2013). Conditions: Mostly Cloudy. Humidity: 81%. Dew Point: 10.0°C. Pressure: 30.15 in 1021 hPa (Rising).
05:43 dcook Wow...
05:43 That's quite a bit warmer than it has been, isn't it?
05:43 cait yep
05:43 we had 24 yesterday
05:43 but looks like it rained a bit tonight
05:48 dcook Wow!
05:48 Yay spring!
05:48 I'm off though!
05:48 Be back in a bit!
05:49 cait yep - about time!
05:51 for spring and for going home :)
05:55 paul_p joined #koha
06:04 martian742 joined #koha
06:05 martian742 hello there a prospective Koha user from the Czech Republic checking in..
06:05 rangi hi martian742
06:05 cait hi martian742
06:05 * cait waves from Germany
06:06 rangi developer from NZ about to leave to feed his kids
06:06 martian742 rangi: well that is sure more important :)
06:07 I have a specific Q though: is it easy to stay on the TRUNK version of Koha while continuously pushing in the Czech translation I would be working on?
06:07 can I stay in sync like that?
06:08 cait of course :)
06:08 translations are done with po files
06:08 you don#t have to change anything in koha for htat
06:08 have you taken a look at translate.koha-community.org ?
06:09 martian742 and would you say that Koha is up to date with the current (or rather long-standing) rules and practices used in the European libraries?
06:09 cait hm it certainly always depends on the libraries
06:09 martian742 cait: I have, the Czech trans. is virtually non-existent
06:09 cait it#s widely used in France now
06:09 and we currently support 11 libraries in Germany
06:09 martian742 cait: bummer for PMB
06:09 cait I think PMB is also used
06:10 but some universities are using koha now
06:10 what kind of library is yours?
06:10 martian742 (PHP My Bibli) which I have been using until now, and the community doesn't feel good to me
06:11 cait: my case is a small elementary school's lib. of about 4000 books
06:11 rangi its certainly much more feature rich than PMB (its a few years older too)
06:11 koha will scale down to that small :)
06:11 martian742 rangi: installation error: you need to have more than 10k books in your library :D
06:11 cait martian742: koha's community is very alive - as you will see when you stick around a bit longer
06:11 martian742 rangi: just kidding
06:12 rangi martian742: that would be an oracle trick :)
06:13 martian742 cait: well, that's what I'm hoping for, as I'm also an English language-junkie AND have failed to learn French (a PMB community pseudo-req. indeed)
06:13 cait we talk lots about food and cookies
06:13 if you are fine with that too you are at the right place ;)
06:13 martian742 cait: need more cookies as well
06:14 :D
06:14 cait who doesn't? :)
06:14 so let's see for czech translations
06:14 martian742 cait: I have seen
06:14 cait ah ok
06:14 martian742 doesn't exist
06:14 cait I guess starting with the opac would be good
06:14 martian742 cait: no, need to start with the core
06:14 cait ah, but that's quite huge
06:14 as koha has lots of features
06:14 hm
06:14 I see that the files are missing
06:15 martian742 my lib. relies on the clerk interface first and foremost
06:15 cait I suggest dropping a mail to translate@koha-community.org - mailing lists are here: mailing lists?
06:15 oh come on wahanui
06:15 mailing lists?
06:15 wahanui mailing lists are at http://koha-community.org/supp[…]ha-mailing-lists/
06:15 * magnuse waves from norway
06:16 cait and ask for the files for 3.10 and 3.12 to be added
06:16 i think they might not be active somehow in the translation scripts - I could tell you how to gneerate them, but it shoudl be fixed to keep them updates
06:17 hope that makes sense
06:17 morning magnuse :)
06:18 martian742 cait: it seems that all the Terminology phrases have already been translated ( http://translate.koha-community.org/cs/ )
06:18 cait: what would you judge from that?
06:18 cait @later tell druthb could you check Czech translation on pootle? martian742 might be interested in doing some translation - but 3.10 and 3.12 files are missing :)
06:18 huginn cait: The operation succeeded.
06:19 cait no guarantee she sees it, so mailing list would still be good
06:19 I think the termininology things come with pootle
06:19 when you take a look at the 3.8 files
06:19 you can see there are 3 (now we have 4)
06:19 one for prefs (that's only administration, so no need to start with that)
06:19 one for opac
06:19 and one for intranet
06:20 the intranet is huge, partly because it includes all the error messages and the context help
06:20 martian742 cait: awww, right
06:20 cait once the files are up you could also use a local tool for translating, like poedit
06:20 martian742 cait: have been there with PMB, consistency becomes a real issue with that big amount of texts
06:20 cait it might be worth using something that lets you limit to certain templates to get the most important done in the beginning
06:21 you can search for templates on pootle too, but if you are the only translator working on something at the time (which it would look like here) sometimes a local editor is faster
06:21 and for the rest... installing koha is best done using the packages
06:21 packages?
06:21 wahanui well, packages is at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian
06:21 cait and now i stop spamming you with links :)
06:22 martian742 cait: what I did with PMB was injecting tell-tale code into the PHP, it would display in red, what ID - in the interface itself
06:22 cait: don‎'t bother stopping :)
06:23 cait I think we have it mostly covered :)
06:24 any questions? ;)
06:24 martian742 cait: packages (?) .. avoiding the bot? :) would you recommend against installing the TRUNK version in my case?
06:24 cait not sure what you mean by trunk version :)
06:24 martian742 well what I find in your version control thingy
06:24 cait ah by git
06:25 martian742 the dev edge
06:25 cait if you want to do dev that's the way to go
06:25 for translations you could use the beta2 packages or a current 3.10 release
06:25 3.12 will be released on may 22nd - so we are currently working up to that
06:25 martian742 cait: not exactly, but I want my translations to be long lived
06:26 ee long living
06:26 cait that's hard with Koha as we keep adding stuff all the time :)
06:26 but maybe you should start with 3.12 then
06:26 we update translations, so we try not to cause more work then necessary
06:26 martian742 cait: yeah, but at least that implies adding translations over time? not reviewing them so much?
06:26 cait meaning you don't have to start over each version
06:26 martian742 cait: right
06:27 there are FOSS projects that do, I think :(
06:27 cait but there is always quite a bit to do with updated help and new featues and srings going fuzzy from changes in the templates
06:27 martian742 cait: pour me another beer, I'll deal with fuzzy :)
06:28 cait Koha also does bug fix releases every month
06:28 every 6 month a big release, every month a bug fix release
06:28 martian742 cait: or do it from my local hackerspace, great environment to brag about such issues :D
06:29 http://base48.cz
06:29 cait nice!
06:31 martian742 cait: so do I inject .po files into the local install, does it boil down to that when wanting to edit it locally in the first approach?
06:32 cait hm maybe take a loo here to see how it works:
06:32 additional languages?
06:33 add additional languages?
06:33 I thought I taught him

06:38 martian742 cait: thanks a lot
06:38 cait: still, if I may, this is something FOSS people want to know how to do properly:
06:39 reiveune joined #koha
06:40 martian742 could you advocate for Koha, compare it to other FOSS ILSs..
06:40 cait you just have to hurry a bit with your question - as i have to go to work in 5 :)
06:40 reiveune hello
06:40 martian742 why should I not invest my time in Evergreen for example
06:40 cait hm not sure I understand your question, can you explain?
06:40 oh
06:40 evergreen people hang around here too - so maybe better ask them
06:40 I think installation is a bit more difficult
06:40 martian742 they already have a good bit translated into Czech
06:40 cait which was one of the main reasons I ended up with koha :)
06:41 martian742 cait: that's what figure, after trying it
06:41 cait I have never used Evergreen - so I really don't want to say something wrong
06:41 magnuse there is a nice comparison thingy for koha and evergreen
06:41 cait maybe take a look at your demo and theirs?
06:41 martian742 cait: and since the people hang around here, I better ask them ;-)
06:41 cait compare what looks better for you?
06:42 magnuse i can never remember where, though...
06:42 martian742 cait: yup!
06:42 cait as it's US try a bit later of course :)
06:42 they have their own chat too - which might be the more direct way :)
06:42 martian742 cait: NZ there?
06:42 cait NZ has gone to feed the kids :P
06:42 well, one of them
06:42 wahanui one of them is, like, bound to have a good idea ;)
06:42 cait 10 hours now from here, so early evening there now
06:43 evergreen is mostly american i think
06:43 martian742 cait: right
06:43 haven't been in an overseas relationship for a bit now, don't have the hang of it anymore :)
06:44 cait: my hackerspace channel is currently talking about whipped cream
06:44 cait koha is very international, perhaps a bitmore than evergreen is right now
06:44 martian742 see? cookies are important everywhere

06:55 magnuse martian742: there are some librarians, but not a lot
06:56 if you want to talk to librarians, the main mailing list is probably a better bet
06:57 i was trained as a librarian, in fact, but i never did any serious cataloguing...
06:57 martian742 magnuse: since they don't spend much time on the IRC, unlike other computer nerds :)

07:38 in Kurdistan to be more precise
07:38 what about you :p ?
07:38 dcook A bit less exciting. I'm still/back in Australia
07:38 But a good day all in all :)
07:40 What takes you to Irak/Kurdistan?
07:41 kf joined #koha
07:42 dcook wb kf
07:44 kf thx dcook
07:44 and good morning #koha again
07:44 gaetan_B dcook: a project with a university here :)
07:45 hallo kf :)
07:45 kf hi gaetan_B
07:45 :)
07:45 are we on the big screen again?
07:46 gaetan_B kf: not now :)
07:46 kf but more training today? :)
07:46 magnuse koha can take you to some interesting places...
07:47 gaetan_B kf: this week i am not really giving a training, it only setting up stuff, and understanding how they work so that we can come up with a reasonable set-up
07:47 theey are quite demanding and ambitious i must say !
07:47 but i'm trying to make it as simple and fool proof as possible
07:47 i don't them to get confused with all the possible MARC21 fields
07:47 kf sounds like a typical library :)
07:48 gaetan_B :D
07:48 it's not so typical i can tell you ;)
07:48 by the way
07:48 how does the default display for results and detailed records work in marc21 ?
07:48 are the name of the fields taken from the frameworks or are they in the templates ?
07:49 and if so is there a way i can get the list of fields that display somewhere ?
07:49 or should i fill a record with all the possible fields and see ?
07:49 kf gaetan_B: do you mean tehe default setting for the xslt prefs?
07:49 gaetan_B kf: i mean not using the xslt at all
07:49 kf or the normal display (leave empty) in the prefs
07:49 ah
07:49 magnuse gaetan_B: look at the xslt for lists and details, perhaps?
07:49 kf we are only using the xslt
07:49 I would almost recommend using it
07:50 well... I think I do recommend it
07:50 * magnuse recommends it too
07:50 gaetan_B using the xslt means getting involved into some really murky translation to kurdish and arabic for different xslts, which i want to avoid at all costs
07:50 kf um no
07:50 I don't think so
07:50 the fields are in the po file so or so
07:50 dcook Hey gaetan_B, I might have some answers
07:50 We don't use xslt over here
07:50 kf they get translated with the po file, only if you have custom stylesheets you have to
07:51 gaetan_B i would never use anything else than xslt for a french library
07:51 but if i get into this here, i know it's going to get *really* complicated
07:51 dcook: i'm interested :)
07:51 kf gaetan_B: hm not sure I understand the problem
07:51 gaetan_B: maybe you are always using a custom stylesheet with french?
07:51 gaetan_B kf the default xslt get translated as well ?
07:51 kf yep
07:51 gaetan_B i'll give it a try then :)
07:51 that's pretty good news
07:52 kf they will more or less accidentally translate it
07:52 dcook For a non-XSLT display, the display is hardcoded into the templates. They're not related to the frameworks.
07:52 kf I would give it a try
07:52 gaetan_B kf: we always use custom stylesheets indeed
07:52 dcook Well, the non-XSLT, "Normal" display
07:52 kf it's pat of the opac po file
07:52 dcook The frameworks will change what appears in the "MARC" display
07:52 kf yep what dcook says :)
07:52 I guess that's the same for both displays - labels are hardcoded
07:52 but xslt shows a lot more and is better maintained
07:52 dcook But XSLT are far easier to change
07:52 Yep
07:53 If I had the option, I'd use XSLT for sure
07:53 gaetan_B dcook: ok good, this is all very reassuring :)
07:53 dcook Difficult for librarians to maintain, but easier for developers
07:53 gaetan_B the translation project is going to be quite action packed i think
07:53 dcook (Unless those librarians understand XML and XSL)
07:53 What sort of language and script are used there?
07:54 gaetan_B typing bi directionnal text (which we will not be able to avoid in the translation) is maybe the most confusing thing i have experienced
07:54 * dcook has never met anyone from Iraq
07:54 gaetan_B dcook: in the south it's an arabic dialect
07:54 but here it's kurdish
07:54 which is an indo-germanic language
07:54 somewhat related to russian too it seems
07:54 dcook Interesting..
07:54 wahanui i guess interesting is sometimes good and sometimes bad
07:54 gaetan_B but it is written with a variant of the arabic scritp
07:55 dcook Yes, wahanui.
07:55 wahanui dcook: huh?
07:55 gaetan_B so right to left
07:55 dcook Mmm, ok
07:55 I think Karam Qubsi has recently submitted some patches in relation to bi directional text
07:55 * dcook thinks that kf commented on those as well
07:55 gaetan_B dcook: yes, i have seen this and i was very happy about it, they came in right in time for  :)
07:56 the project
07:56 wahanui hmmm... the project is the better for it.
07:56 gaetan_B :D
07:56 dcook What they said :p
07:56 So they're doing the whole translation for kurdish?
07:57 kf :)
07:57 he has another patch waiting for the ccsr opac - if someone wanted to give that a whirl ;)
07:58 paul_p joined #koha
07:59 dcook bonjour paul_p
08:00 kf: Hmm, I'm never sure how to go about properly testing patches for bidi or UNIMARC, since I never use either
08:01 kf dcook: I think in that case do a regression test :)
08:01 make sure it doesn't break the english ccsr opac/normal opac
08:02 dcook Glancing at the code, it looks good ;)
08:02 I just wonder if there's a typo in the css somewhere
08:03 kf another way to test is install arabic
08:03 and browse the opac a bit
08:03 maybe check the css with a validator
08:03 gaetan_B i have to disconnect, see you later
08:03 kf bye gaetan_B
08:04 dcook ta gaetan_B
08:04 Hmm, true enough
08:05 kf martian742: talking to evergreen people now? :)
08:16 dcook Huh...
08:17 Looks like you can renew books for a restricted patron in 3.8
08:18 kf there might be a pref about that, but not sure
08:19 dcook Hmm, I'll take a look
08:19 Happens on master too in any case
08:19 * dcook really needs to use his dev system more often..
08:19 dcook I love using master...
08:20 kf might be worht filing a bug if it's not a pref

08:23 gaetan_B dcook: leaving agin ;)
08:24 dcook I'll be more frugal with my wbs next time ;)
08:24 kf dcook: looks like it's about staff not opac maybe
08:24 hm might still be worth taking a look
08:24 dcook Hmm, that's a good point too
08:24 kf I would think a restricted patron shoudl not be able to do anything in opac
08:24 dcook I haven't checked
08:24 kf but not sure all libraries would agree
08:24 dcook This issue came to me from the staff client
08:25 kf but that's the point of blocking an account? for example in cases of lost cards?
08:25 dcook I looked at the restricted patron interface a while ago, but I'll look again
08:25 I think the self-reg has an option to have them restricted as well
08:25 To prevent abuse
08:27 Hmm, instead of reading the history, I'll just read the latest patch..heh

08:48 and explain why you think it can't go in like it is
08:50 dcook Sounds good
08:50 :)
08:51 Man..."IsMemberBlocked" is so not documented correctly...
08:52 kf probably old code
08:52 and also restriction proces changed..
08:54 dcook The code is good. Just the documentation is wrong :)
08:55 Time to report a bug..
08:55 And maybe do it tomorrow..
08:55 This is the latest I've been at work in ages
08:58 Quick question...what is "ILSDI/Services.pm"?
08:59 magnuse dcook: http://git.koha-community.org/[…]298acdc5c;hb=HEAD
08:59 i presume...
08:59 dcook Yeah, I just started reading through it, but I'm not sure I get it
09:00 Looks like a digital library thing perhaps...
09:00 http://www.diglib.org/community/groups/ils-di/
09:01 Mmm
09:01 For interacting with discovery layers like VuFind
09:01 Neato. I was wondering how patrons could place holds in Koha through VuFind
09:01 magnuse it's a protocol/webservice thing for listing current loans, renewing etc
09:02 the implementation in koha is self documenting, e.g.: http://head.bibkat.no/cgi-bin/koha/ilsdi.pl
09:06 dcook Thanks, magnuse
09:06 This is really neat
09:06 We've been talking a bit about discovery layers recently, and this provides the missing piece that I wasn't sure how to solve theoretically

13:24 (or anyone else who has opinions on acquisitions workflows)
13:24 kf in a minute
13:42 here now :)
13:44 oleonard: ?
13:45 oleonard On the invoice view/edit page (/cgi-bin/koha/acqui/invoice.pl?invoiceid=1) there is a link "Go to receipt page"
13:45 kf hm yes, maybe we should rename that
13:45 oleonard That link is awkwardly-placed, and I'm curious where it fits into the workflow
13:45 kf it's a good question
13:46 I think probably because you could only do/undo some actions from the parcels/shipment/need a good name for it page
13:46 and not from the invoice page that seems more to be like a summary/view
13:46 what I have wondered is about closing invoices and which consequences it has
13:46 it seems acq is getting more and more complicated and I wonder which steps can be missed/not done
13:47 but I haven't had time to take a really good look at it
13:47 like seeing how closed/unclosed invoices show up in other places

15:01 gmcharlt jcamins: hmm?
15:02 reiveune left #koha
15:03 jcamins gmcharlt: I don't want to make it impossible for you to revert 6554, should that become necessary, but if I push a follow-up to the bug_6554 branch, reverting will get more complicated.
15:04 Though you may have more experience with reverting and therefore not end up with a screwed up branch every time you try to revert more than one merge on a given branch.
15:04 gmcharlt jcamins: yeah, I can't say I'm too concerned; if nothing else, I can always default to reverting the commits individually
15:05 jcamins Okay. Next time I'm pushing I'll take a look at that one.

15:43 tcohen jcamins, i've learnt that utf8 and UTF-8 mean different things in Perl
15:44 jcamins I did not know that, actually.
15:44 tcohen and thus, utf8::decode and Encode::decode('UTF-8',XX) are not expected to work the same
15:44 i'm just reading about it
15:45 it seems that UTF-8 means "the strict, safe implementation of the standard"
15:45 and utf8 a loose implementation prior to the standarization
15:45 I'm not sure the implications in Koha
15:46 but sounds like some UTF-8 errors will not be catched by utf8
15:46 i'll try fixing every call and see the results
15:46 maybe some arab records could help
15:48 jcamins I suspect probably we have to use utf8 due to the poor quality of the UTF-8 encoding used by most MARC records.
15:49 tcohen unfortunately, yes
15:49 that, and mysql's  utf8 collation being case insensitive are two big sources of problems for Koha I guess
15:50 i have a possitive feeling about the utf8 vs. UTF-8 issue
15:51 I feel most of the charset related problems we've seen
15:51 will be catched by our code in a better way
15:52 (I mean, the problems have been around anyway, with Koha breaking because of them)

18:11 martian523 952 i
18:12 drojf joined #koha
18:13 oleonard martian523: Looks like that subfield is explicitly excluded by the script. Presumably because it would be considered fairly unusual to modify multiple records with the same value there.
18:18 martian523: Does that make sense?
18:22 tcohen jcamins, I filled a bug on the UTF-8 thing
18:23 jcamins I saw, thanks.
18:23 tcohen i've been working on a patch for it
18:23 its pretty simple
18:23 but have concerns on error checking
18:23 (we have too little of it)
18:24 and Encode expects eval blocks for evaluating the conversion
18:24 so everything gets boureaucratic
18:25 anyway, gotta leave now, bye #koha
18:26 jcamins eval blocks are fine if you catch the error.
18:26 Otherwise they're dreadful.

18:45 melia should I expect to see that pushed to stable 3.10.x at some point in the future, or is a new patch needed for that to happen?
18:45 oleonard Ask the release maintainer I suppose melia?
18:46 melia: You could make sure it applies to 3.10.x

22:54 jcamins rangi: hfjs
22:54 eythian: yes.
22:54 Briefly.
22:54 eythian jcamins: awesome, I have an exciting analytics question for you.
22:55 * jcamins gets suitably excited.
22:55 eythian jcamins: I have some articles that have a 773$w set the 001 of their host record. What else do I need to set up on each record to make them see each other.
22:55 jcamins You set the leaders?
22:56 eythian I'm not sure what they should be set to
22:56 jcamins That's the big one.
22:56 Let me check the position.
22:56 For the host records, are they books are journals, or...
22:58 (that was an open-ended question)
22:58 eythian journals, serials, etc primarily I think
22:58 jcamins Okay.
22:59 So the host records will have LDR/07=s
22:59 Articles will have LDR/07=a
22:59 And that should be all you need, actually.
23:01 eythian if I have LDR7 as "a - Monographic component part" it doesn't create the link to the host record.
23:02 jcamins Odd.
23:02 And you turned on UseControlNumbers?
23:02 eythian If I set LDR7=s on the host, I do get "show analytics"
23:03 "No system preferences matched your search for usecontrolnumbers."
23:03 jcamins UseControlNumber?
23:03 It's something like that.
23:03 Search for "Control"
23:03 eythian ah yep
23:03 wahanui joined #koha
23:04 eythian it was off, now on
23:05 however that seems to make no change
23:05 when I hit the "show analytics" link, I also get "No results match your search for 'rcn:505373.20130415 and (bib-level:a or bib-level:b)'."
23:06 jcamins Hm.
23:06 eythian also, I'm hitting that on the host...why would it be looking for a specific rcn.
23:06 ?
23:06 (because the rcn is on the host, right?)
23:06 jcamins Right, but you've put that into the 773.
23:06 eythian (or do we index it such that rcn also matches 773?)
23:06 jcamins I think rcn is 773 only, and Control-number is 001 only.
23:07 Though something about that seems... wrong.
23:07 eythian OK
23:08 jcamins And your indexes are up to date, right?
23:08 eythian yep. Hmm. I did just notice that I'm not creating the 773$w value correctly, that won't be helping. Though it shouldn't imact on whether the link shows up I'd think.
23:08 jcamins There should be a link showing up regardless.
23:09 Even without the control number.
23:09 It'd just be a search on main entry/title without the control number.
23:09 Oh.
23:10 You have something in 773$a and/or 773$t, right?
23:10 eythian I have 773$w, $t, and $g
23:10 jcamins And do you see the $t/$g?
23:11 But without any link?
23:11 eythian that's right
23:11 wahanui no it's not.
23:11 jcamins lol
23:11 eythian they appear below the article title
23:11 jcamins Boy he's quick to disagree.

23:13 dcook joined #koha
23:13 eythian are indicator positions 0 based, or 1 based?
23:13 (i.e. is ind1 the first or second?)

23:14 I had never considered before just how dumb that is.

23:15 that looks perfect.

23:17 eythian howso?
23:17 jcamins That looks like a control number with the accession date of the particular issue appended.
