00:00 gmcharlt eythian++
00:00 jcamins I think we should just install our own libc with Koha.
00:00 wizzyrea i think he could benefit a lot from trolling us in real time.
00:00 eythian it better be µlibc, none of this big bloated stuff!
00:01 jcamins Or vmlinuz.
00:01 jsangalli joined #koha
00:02 gmcharlt might be dangerous
00:02 best to delete it
00:02 jeff can't read it, don't trust it, better rm it.
00:02 rangi heh
00:03 jeff: http://lists.koha-community.or[…]3-May/039407.html
00:03 for context
00:04 jeff thanks. i need to re-up my subscriptions.
00:17 2128 new objects since last git pull. looks like it's been a while.
00:19 wizzyrea :)
00:24 mtj hey peeps, can anyone get a cron sorted to rebuild Koha's schema page?
00:25 * mtj thinks that might be rangi's linode?
00:26 rangi it needs to much massaging to be cronable
00:26 ill do it when i get round to it
00:28 jcamins It requires massaging? Eww.
00:28 eythian jcamins: schemaist
00:28 mtj hey chris… aah ok - i know i bugged you about it a while ago
00:28 rangi to get the comments into a format that schema can use
00:28 schemaspy even
00:29 mtj i assumed it was just running a script at midnite, etc...
00:29 jcamins Right, but it seems like it should be automatic.
00:29 rangi nope
00:29 differnet things break everytime
00:30 mtj the comments in the .sql file make SchemaSpy barf :/
00:31 rangi exactly, so i have some perl to fix that
00:31 jcamins Someone should patch that.
00:31 * jcamins looks pointedly at mtj.
00:31 cjh is it possible to make a specific comment format part of our coding guidelines?
00:31 ie; a format that doesnt make schemaspy barf
00:32 rangi possibly
00:32 but now i have to go eat curry
00:33 jcamins Aww. Didn't work.
00:34 mtj i dont mind having a go at trying to fix it
00:35 * mtj thinks it would be a worthy thing to sort

02:11 wahanui OK, eythian.
03:08 mtompset joined #koha
03:08 mtompset Greetings, #koha.
03:08 I'm back to try to uncover my searching failures again.
03:09 The last suggestion was permissions problem.
03:09 What permissions and where should I check?
03:10 mtj the perms of your zebra index files
03:11 the common mistake is that people run zebrasrv as root
03:11 … which then changes the permissions of the index/db files to root
03:12 and then attempt to run zebrasrv as another user, which doesnt have permission to read/write those files anymore
03:12 mtompset my zebra is running as me.
03:12 where are the zebra files in a typical git install?
03:13 mtj pass...
03:13 eythian dev-directory/var/lib/koha or somewhere like that I think
03:13 but really, it can be anywhere. That's the point of a dev install.
03:14 mtompset Thanks... that was the general pointer I needed... and nope... they are all mtompset.mtompset :(
03:15 eythian _all_ of them, not just the directories?
03:15 mtompset Yep.
03:15 All of them.
03:15 eythian OK.
03:16 mtompset I didn't figure I messed up a fresh install.
03:16 eythian in that case, I'd fire up zebrasrv manually in debug mode and see what happens when you do a search of it from Koha.
03:16 it'll probably output an error or something somewhere.
03:17 mtompset so stop the koha zebra service and then run the zebrasrv manually with a debug flag?
03:17 mtj yep
03:17 $ zebrasrv -f ~/path/to/koha-conf.xml
03:18 do a search, and watch the terminal for info...
03:18 eythian and a debug flag
03:18 I don't know what that is, but it's probably something obvious
03:19 mtompset -v all to log everything?
03:19 eythian I dunno
03:19 look in the man page
03:21 mtompset I think I have it... now to try a search.
03:24 Okay... now how do I make sense of the output?
03:24 paste?
03:24 wahanui I eat paste! It's tasty! http://paste.koha-community.org
03:24 eythian You squint at it just right, and it'll start to make some sort of sense.
03:25 pastebot "mtompset" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "koha search debug dump" (236 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/28
03:26 rangi id run it first with just -f
03:26 mtj yeah, the debug is often overkill
03:26 rangi youll get less noise
03:26 but here is the line
03:26 the one that says ERROR
03:26 23:21:55-28/05 zebrasrv(1) 40d7fc4f357f0000 [request] Search biblios ERROR 120 1 1+0 RPN @attrset Bib-1 @or @or @or @or @or @attr 1=36 @attr 4=1 @attr 6=3 @attr 9=32 @attr 2=102 power @attr 1=4 @attr 4=1 @attr 6=3 @attr 9=28 @attr 2=102 power @attr 1=36 @attr 4=1 @attr 9=26 @attr 2=102 power @attr 4=6 @attr 5=103 @attr 9=16 @attr 2=102 power @attr 4=6 @attr 5=1 @attr 9=14 @attr 2=102 "power?

03:26 23:21:55-28/05 zebrasrv(1) 40d7fc4f357f0000 [debug]   result immediately available
03:27 mtompset Okay, so what does that mean?
03:27 rangi runcation other than right truncation returns an unsupported truncation attribute error, error 120, when using the ICU. See Zebra bug 2049, Truncation=regular does not work with ICU normalized terms. A patch to fix right truncation was committed in 2008. The remaining unfixed aspects of the bug were marked won't fix on 21 October 2010 by Sebastian Hammer as part of a systematic closing of some open bugs for which a fix was neither readily apparent nor fu
03:28 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=2049 enhancement, P3, ---, chris, CLOSED FIXED, OPAC could show rank in Hold Queue
03:28 rangi helpfully indexdata have switched to jira
03:28 so you cant see that bug anymore
03:29 but what it means to me is, switch icu off
03:29 mtompset okay... how do I switch icu off?
03:30 rangi dunno, ive had enough googling for today :)
03:30 mtompset well, thank you for at least pointing me in a direction.
03:31 I think I'll just dump the DB, remake from the git but choose chr, and then reimport the data, rather than google. :P
03:32 eythian none of those are your problem
03:32 it's specifically your zebra config
03:32 well, except the chr bit
03:33 mtompset right, but if I back up to where I started to do the icu, and choose chr, then I know it will work.
03:33 I know... it's overkill.
03:33 eythian you'd learn more by figuring out how to convert it
03:34 mtompset and increase the chance of making another mistake which ripples into several others? No thanks.
03:35 mtj sounds like a general no-no for using ICU with zebra
03:35 eythian ICU is needed for some things
03:35 I think
03:35 rangi there are ways to do it correctly, cait knows them
03:35 hebrew and arabic at least need it
03:36 mtj right, i kinda recall that too
03:36 hmm, a tricky situation :/
03:37 rangi you could turn the query parser thing on or off too
03:37 see if that makes a different
03:37 difference even
03:37 in the search sysprefs
03:37 mtj mtompset, curious…. have you made many mods to your zebra config files?
03:38 mtompset heck no! default is good. leave as much as possible as default!
03:38 mtj ok, good to know
03:39 mtompset oh, another question... unrelated to zebra.
03:40 let's say we do the db upgrade and get "errors".
03:40 mtj it sounds like a legit, reproducible bug
03:40 mtompset I was reading the MySQL documentation, and the updatedatabase.pl code.
03:41 could we add INSERT IGNORE instead of just INSERT for every one of them?
03:41 mtj meh.. great to set apache/ASF are running jira for all their projects too :/
03:42 s/set/see/
03:42 rangi theyve always been opensource not free software people
03:43 its a mysqlism mtompset
03:43 not standard ansi sql
03:43 we probably shouldnt introduce those
03:43 mtompset Ah... we do have some of those in already. That's why I was asking.
03:43 rangi since we are going to have to move from mysql sooner or later when oracle totally borks it
03:44 mtompset good point. :)
03:52 cjh and sometimes the errors can be a symptom of a problem, I think it is generally better to see them and choose to ignore them
03:55 mtompset From an end-user perspective, I'd much rather not see them. however, if they were logged somewhere, that would aid debugging. :)
03:55 * eythian does not recommend the head-in-sand approach to upgrading
03:55 mtompset BTW, chr reinstall for the win. I can search for power again. :)
03:56 cjh mtompset: it is generally assumed that the person performing the upgrade is checking for errors, having them in a different place makes it less obvious
03:57 it should be rare for a non-technical user to be seeing those errors :)
03:59 mtompset Hmm... Those assumptions make me curious as to how many people actually come here in the middle of an upgrade because of those mysql duplicate inserts "errors".
04:00 Well, I think I best be off. Meetings and more meetings tomorrow.
04:01 Thanks for the help figuring out what the cause of my zebra searching problems were. :)

04:02 Have a great day (24 hour period), everyone. :)
04:03 trea where is publication date going to be stored in the database?
04:04 eythian trea: the 260$c or the one in 008 or whatever it is?
04:04 trea ah, right. the 008 perhaps
04:05 eythian trick question, I don't think either of them are.
04:06 though apparently 326$a goes into volumedesc which may be a date
04:06 trea mmm. i have an issue where searches by pubdate don't seem to be working.
04:07 cjh there is also a publisheddate on serial, although I doubt that is what you are looking for
04:07 trea i was wondering if might be related to bug 9368
04:07 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=9368 minor, P5 - low, ---, jcamins, ASSIGNED , specific behavior of yr and acqdate indexes
04:07 eythian trea: Is the date in 008 real? Often it's not.
04:07 this is something we see a lot, particularly sorting a search by publication date.
04:08 trea that's what i'm wondering - if the date is erroneous, and needs to be populated from somewhere else.
04:09 eythian It ought to be added when cataloguing. The one is 260$c is free-form and so often not useful.
04:09 *in
04:13 anyone know if Koha works with tinymce 3? We seem to be including tinymce2 which is 5+ years old and no longer maintained.
04:14 * eythian finds out
04:18 cjh go eythian ! you can do it!
04:22 eythian good news: it does
04:22 this means we don't need a separate package for wheezy and squeeze.
04:23 trea ooo

04:37 mtj eythian++ thats awesome news
04:39 oh fyi: remember the weird xsltproc error i had last week… it was caused by some glitchy chars in a bib :/
04:40 eythian ah right, so not real UTF8 or something?
04:40 surprised it got parsed at all in that case...
04:40 mtj yeah, some strange trailing chars, in the 245b sub-title field
04:43 i never got round to finding out were the bib came from, and if the source record was glitched too
04:43 i just edited the field, and teh problem solved
04:46 hmm, i wonder if its possible to wrap that xsltproc code in a eval, so that it wouldnt be fatal?
04:47 eythian it probably would be, but you've also got to know how to handle the error at all.
04:51 mtj yeah, i can see that it might be tricky thing to do well
04:54 cjh koha packaging really is awesome

08:51 paul_p rangi about ?
08:51 rangi yep
08:53 paul_p rangi = do you think we need 1 full hour for koha history ? I think we can take one hour, but is it the best option ?
08:53 rangi = 2nd question: do we plan to show the movie you made for KohaCon10 (maybe updated for the last 3 years) ?
08:54 rangi yep
08:54 i think now its 4 more years since 2009 and we took an hour then
08:54 we have even more to cover
08:54 so i think an hour will be about right
08:54 paul_p ok, then one hour including the movie is OK. I answer that I'm fine with 1 hour ;-)
08:55 rangi maybe 50 mins talking and updated moving
08:55 kf i think it's an important session :)
08:55 rangi movie
08:55 its only boring for us cos we know it :-)
08:55 kf looking forward to see the 2 of you doing it :)
08:55 paul_p rangi lol ;-)
09:01 gaetan_B kf: hello :) do you have an idea why the "in transit from ..." string doesn't seem to be translatable ?
09:01 kf hm yes, because it was a bug... and i guess it should have been fixed even by now
09:01 i saw a patch for that

09:03 gaetan_B ah yes
09:03 i guess i could sign off on this then :)
09:04 i'll have a look thanks !
09:04 kf it's been pushed already
09:04 but only for intranet, not sure where you see it happen
09:04 should be in 3.12
09:04 gaetan_B oh ok it's still in need signoff but that's for 3.10
09:04 kf ah
09:04 makes sense
09:31 rangi im looking forward to gaetan_B's presentation
09:31 gaetan_B :D
09:31 i think there might have been some exageration or misunderstanding going on
09:31 but i'll try my best :D
09:32 rangi hehe
09:32 gaetan_B my idea was a presentation about koha project management in varied contexts, and trying to focus on the more exotic ones to make it funnier and have some interesting anecdotes to tell
09:33 but i like "funny stories" as a topic too
09:33 so
09:33 rangi :-)
09:33 gaetan_B challenge accepted
09:33 rangi someone had koha running on a playstation 2
09:33 gaetan_B :D
09:34 i'll have a hard time coming up with something that crazy though !
09:35 kf gaetan_B: looking forward to your presentation too :)
09:36 rangi who else from biblibre is coming?
09:36 you and paul_p ?
09:37 paul_p rangi and fridolyn
09:37 rangi oh cool
09:37 paul_p so 3 of us (unless there's some financial problem, which is not expected ;-) )
09:38 rangi after that i think only Joubu will be the only one i havent met?
09:39 paul_p rangi mmm... there are some newcomers you haven't met : sonia (support team) & corinne (librarian project manager, will replace francois that is moving to canada)
09:41 rangi and I think you haven't met Laurence (something like CTO) and Stéphane (Delaye, librarian project manager). Not sure you're met the other Stéphane (Delaune, migration specialist)
09:42 rangi hmm maybe not
09:42 kf rangi: you should come to marseille next year ;)
09:43 rangi oh i didnt know francharb was going to canada
09:43 to quebec?
09:43 he saw there are 2 koha jobs going in montreal eh? :-)

11:24 samueld we have a problem with our opac today. When we search, it gives no results. An idea?
11:24 jwagner joined #koha
11:25 kf is your zebrasrv process running?
11:30 samueld yes, no problem
11:31 the professional search works fine
11:35 kf have you activated the opacsuppression ?
11:35 it's a system preference and might give you problems until you actually have a suppressed record
11:36 samueld no
11:36 kf same is true i think for some other 'hidden' things, like hiding lots or damaged items by pref

12:14 oleonard Hi #koha
12:14 druthb hi, oleonard!
12:14 jcamins Good morning, oleonard! I have a question for you...
12:14 * oleonard reaches for the coffee
12:15 jcamins What do you think of this as a warning that an invoice number is duplicted: http://screencast.com/t/8IMSiTiFudLv
12:17 * druthb would prefer something more…direct.  "What the ^@$%^ are you tryin' to do here?"
12:17 jcamins lol
12:17 * druthb is just evil like that.
12:23 oleonard Sorry jcamins, got interrupted here.
12:23 I think that looks good, based on my limited understanding of acquisitions
12:24 jcamins Thanks.
12:24 I was more concerned in terms of Koha look-and-feel.
12:25 oleonard No problems there. Although it looks like there is date format inconsistency.
12:25 jcamins Oh, yeah, I can fix that.
12:29 oleonard Dammit, IE10 installed itself without asking.
12:30 IE--
12:30 jcamins IE--
12:31 oleonard I guess I should be grateful that those people who actually use IE will get IE10 automatically.
12:31 I should consider this Microsoft's way of giving me permission to ignore older versions.
12:31 jcamins mtj: you know about the script that checks if each record is indexed, right?
12:31 druthb IE—  # band-wagonning.
12:32 mtj heya jcamins, hmmm, no i didnt
12:32 jcamins mtj: yeah, that script might save you some time. :)
12:33 mtj i was thinking of a simple script that checked the perms on the various zebra files
12:33 jcamins Ah.
12:33 mtj as a starter...
12:33 jcamins It doesn't do that, so I guess that won't save any time.
12:33 I tried...
12:34 mtj people bump into problems often with bad file perms for zebra
12:35 ...a simple script to detect that would be a quick win
12:35 jcamins They certainly do.
12:38 kf jcamins: why does your table have so many lines?
12:38 it looks mor like you are doing this based on aqorders than on aqinvoices?
12:38 jcamins kf: because "333" is what I always type when creating an invoice.
12:38 david joined #koha
12:38 jcamins Nope.
12:38 kf k :)
12:39 also you have a capitalization error there :P
12:39 invoice No.
12:39 jcamins Ooh, thanks!
12:39 I missed that.
12:39 kf you are welcome :)
12:39 i am terrible about consistency.... oleonard - sorry for all the bugs
12:40 oleonard kf: Bugs?
12:40 wahanui Bugs is http://devopsreactions.tumblr.[…]ter-a-new-release
12:40 kf oleonard: i filed lots and some of them went to you by default... it's not a problem if you haven't noticed yet :)
12:41 druthb wahanui:  botsnack chocolate-covered ants
12:41 wahanui thanks druthb :)
12:41 kf druthb: i want some too!
12:41 druthb kfsnack cookie
12:41 kf i have heard ants taste nutty
12:42 druthb you're welcome to my share, then.
12:42 ick ick ick...
12:42 kf hehe
12:42 do you really have some?
12:42 druthb no.  I hear that insects are a valuable source of protein in much of the world—I'm glad it's not a routine part of *my* diet.

13:35 kf samueld: the error youshowed earlier probably means that the permissions are the problem
13:35 i got distracted, sorry
13:36 samueld <kf> i've checked  the ownership but not the permissions.
13:36 kf normally it's the ownership
13:37 it shoudl be owned by your koha/zebra user
13:38 samueld yes, i've made chown -R /home/koha
13:39 kf hm
13:39 have you been looking at the right files?
13:39 how is your installation set up?
13:39 is it a git installation?
13:39 samueld <kf> it's a git install
13:39 kf the zebra files would be duplicated in that case, and the one being used are normally in a directory like /home/koha-dev
13:40 hm home/koha/koha-dev... or something like that
13:40 samueld it's in /home/koha/var/lock/zebradb
13:40 kf hm, that's a bit weird for a git installation
13:41 samueld i think but not sure
13:42 kf hmright I see that it says it shoudl be there
13:42 /home/koha/var/lock/zebradb/biblios/zebrasrv.pid
13:42 have you checked if that path and the file do exist?
13:43 samueld yes, path and file are ok
13:59 kf samueld: hm sorry, running out of ideas
13:59 but for a git install the path is still irritating me

16:15 pianohacker indeed
16:15 gmcharlt: What are you up to these days, anyway?
16:16 oleonard He's busy benevolently ruling over us all
16:16 cait yep
16:16 he is RM, he does not have time to be up to anything! :P

16:17 pianohacker *drool*
16:17 gmcharlt: Nice! Why the move?
16:18 gmcharlt Marlene got a job at Seattle Public
16:19 pianohacker very nice
16:27 rambutan1 I hear they have coffee in Seattle.
16:29 pianohacker and rain, but apparently the coffee's so good it makes up for the weather
16:29 which is saying something
16:30 rambutan1 Yea, the few times I've passed through Seattle I was never able to see that big hill they have there due to the fog, clouds and rain
16:30 but everything sure was green
16:30 gmcharlt yes, it was quite a revelation one day when we were driving south on I-5
16:30 ... MOUNTAIN
16:31 (first clear day in quite a while, of course)
16:34 pianohacker gmcharlt: By the way, Koha history question. Who do we have to thank for our zebra configs? Even just a simple bit of poking at pazpar2 has been... painful to say the least, can't imagine the work involved in getting something as complex as Zebra happy

16:37 gmcharlt pianohacker: checking ... I have a suspicion
16:37 pianohacker gmcharlt: thanks!

16:37 * oleonard has an air-tight alibi
16:38 druthb any damage in your area, bag?
16:38 bag no damage reported
16:39 a few things fell off the shelves here - but nothing broke
16:39 druthb tha's good.
16:39 bag both Aloo and Ginny were pretty excited - like WHAT JUST HAPPENED?
16:40 druthb hey!  Isn't Ginny coming up on a birthday?
16:40 Enjoy it while she's little, bag—I just put my minion on a plane to DC to visit friends for the week, and then she's getting back, and starting to plan her moving out.
16:40 bag very soon June 20th
16:41 awwhh too fast :)
16:41 gmcharlt pianohacker: thought so
16:41 pianohacker oh?
16:42 bag kados
16:42 gmcharlt based on textual evidence, it originated from the marc21.abs distributed with Zebra itself
16:42 druthb First time Lindsey's flown alone.  I dropped her at Hobby, got out and hugged her…she got her bag, then stopped and hugged me again.
16:42 bag that's sweet druthb
16:42 gmcharlt of course, with a ton of subsequent updates, including from (yes) kados, as well as slef and rch
16:43 and quite a lot of help and discussion with the IndexData folks

16:57 pianohacker just hope that halflings are chewy :)
16:57 druthb Crunchy, and good with ketchup.
17:00 gmcharlt, you pose an interesting question…let's ask a halfling.  bag still around?
17:01 Hm.  Maybe he got eaten by a dragon.
17:01 tsk

19:39 rangi yeah that would be shaky
19:39 jcamins Again?
19:39 Good grief.
19:43 mtj i have to confess… the thought of actually discussing the topic during the meeting, is just as inane as reading about it on the list
19:43 oleonard What do you think can be accomplished at the meeting mtj?
19:43 mtj i might quit while i'm ahead, and remove it from the meeting agenda
19:44 rangi mtj++ #i was just being a dick
19:44 but yeah, i dont think more discussion will result in anything
19:44 bag just being a deck :P
19:46 mtj bag, thats the aussies - kiwis are ducks
19:46 bag :)
19:49 mtj oleonard, i was hoping for a focused discussion on how we might support a livedvd, during the meeting
19:50 oleonard Support in what way? Technical support?
19:50 mtj yep, all of that complex stuff
19:51 where to log bugs, where to send patches, etc...
19:51 rangi to vimal
19:51 mtj would we need a git repo for the livedvd?
19:51 rangi basically id just say we dont support it
19:51 oleonard Yeah, the essence of the issue is that none of us want to deal with it.
19:51 Vimal wants to make one, so Vimal gets all the jobs.
19:52 Not sure what there is to discuss.
19:55 mtj i honestly dont think Vimal is aware of these issues
19:55 gmcharlt that would be a problem ... if it's an "official" LiveDVD, we shouldn't let it get divorced from the main project
19:56 mtj ... so the meeting could have been a good time for various people to make those various points
19:56 oleonard mtj: Not aware that we don't all want to field questions about the LiveDVD?
19:56 gmcharlt i.e., I'd want to see LiveDVD users use the normal channels for reporting bugs, but that of course implies that the LiveDVD is constructed to not diverge too far
19:56 pianohacker Is there a precedent for generating translatable formatted strings in OPAC JS?
19:57 mtj lol, yes Owen, thats the best theory i have :)
19:57 oleonard pianohacker: Check doc-head-close.inc
19:57 jcamins I think everyone who actively provides support in the community has pretty conclusively stated that their support for the livecd ends before it gets used for production.
19:57 Period.
19:57 Full stop.

20:06 * rangi understands only oracle and koha in that spanish email
20:06 rangi but that's enough to make me run far far away
20:06 cait instalado 3.4 ...
20:07 pianohacker rangi: thankfully, it's only a migration from some... thing on oracle to koha
20:07 rangi ahh
20:07 i forgot you speak spanish
20:07 * cait thiks pianohacker is right
20:07 rangi handy :)(
20:07 oleonard Bye #koha
20:07 rangi -(
20:07 cait pianohacker: did they really install 3.4?
20:07 rangi cya oleonard
20:07 pianohacker rangi: just a bit
20:07 gmcharlt cait: yep
20:07 pianohacker cuban_mom++
20:07 cait hm
20:08 * cait volunteers pianohacker to answer :P
20:08 pianohacker cait: yeah, that's what it looks like
20:08 rangi i met pianohacker's mom
20:08 gmcharlt I suspect that they might have been running the 3.4 system for a while, but now want to migrate data from this Oracle DB
20:08 pianohacker oh, man. I can give it a shot
20:08 rangi <-- claim to fame
20:08 pianohacker rangi: hahaha that's right
20:08 gmcharlt pianohacker: go for it.  beats me have to start my response with "I apologize for responding in English..."
20:09 rangi :)
20:09 pianohacker 17-year-old me: "Mom, I'm gonna fly to Texas by myself and meet Koha people!" "... hell no you're not"
20:09 gmcharlt heh
20:09 rangi ahh hugo answered
20:09 mtj i had a goofy idea recently… using pootle to build marc.sql files, for various languages

20:10 pianohacker yup, less than a month after I got my driver's permit
20:10 rangi :)
20:10 pianohacker she had so much fun on that drive
20:11 rangi hugo++ # great answer
20:11 jcamins mtj: even better would be not using raw SQL for frameworks.
20:11 pianohacker yup, that's good. still think it's worth a spanish response?
20:12 rangi hmm not sure
20:13 mtj jcamins, yes, ultimately

20:17 cait oh i found liz and daniel
20:17 JoeLib001 I got an interesting request from our cataloger. She wants to know, if I can make Koha not return the 942, 952, and 999 fields in a Z39.50 query.
20:17 pianohacker haha, mustaches-and-glasses, oh man
20:17 wonder if my mom's in there somewhe
20:18 JoeLib001 Is there an option in Koha to do that?
20:18 I haven't been able to find one anyways.
20:18 jcamins JoeLib001: I'd suggest you say "no," and leave it at that.
20:18 There is no functionality built into Koha.
20:18 pianohacker cait: haha, two plane tickets might be more than the gas from colorado to texas
20:19 rangi pianohacker: couldnt spot her
20:19 cait pianohacker: she will get over it eventually :)
20:19 rangi ok time to take my son to school
20:19 bbl
20:19 JoeLib001 jcamins: Ok, thanks. :-)
20:19 gmcharlt JoeLib001: though it *is* possible with some fiddling of the Zebra config (or possibly via sticking metaproxy in front of it)
20:20 rhcl @seen wizzyrea
20:20 mtj a quick show of hands here, people - do folks want to discuss the dvd next #irc meeting?
20:20 huginn` rhcl: wizzyrea was last seen in #koha 20 hours and 5 seconds ago: <wizzyrea> :)
20:20 mtj yes/no?
20:20 jcamins -1
20:20 mtj -1
20:20 gmcharlt mtj: -1, unless (a) Vimal actually wants the discussion and (b) we are aiming to come to resolution rather than discussing for the sake of discussing
20:21 JoeLib001: but in practice, running with jcamins answer is also fine :)
20:21 JoeLib001 gmcharlt: Thanks for that too. :-)
20:21 cait gmcharlt++ # being as wise as his dnd character
20:23 JoeLib001 Possible, but not without it's own problems. I don't have the brain power to devote to it, if it's not built into Koha either. ;-) Too much on my plate as it is. XD
20:24 jcamins ^^ why I suggested you say "no" and not explain. ;)
20:24 JoeLib001 : Works on Circulation, Periodicals, and now Acquisitions. Along with support of Koha / IT stuff. XD
20:24 jcamins Way too many other things to do.

20:38 pianohacker libsysguy: both sound pretty good. yay perl :)
20:38 libsysguy yeah I'm trying to use Mojo for async connections

20:59 there is no safe place
21:00 bag my dog is a lover
21:00 talljoy libsysguy i've got a cataloging question for the marc fans out there.  just giving you fair warning.
21:01 * libsysguy runs away
21:01 talljoy if i have a manuscript that was written on a date and then it is revised on a later date, where do the dates go?  repeated 260 or 245 subfield?
21:01 i warned you!
21:02 bag jcamins ^^^
21:02 talljoy gmcharlt ^
21:03 bag eythian ^^^
21:03 raises you another :P
21:03 rhcl talljoy speaks?
21:03 talljoy lol
21:03 libsysguy only when she has MARC questions :p
21:03 talljoy pfft
21:03 i could put an RDA spin on that question if you like.
21:04 cjh morning #koha
21:04 pianohacker talljoy: hey now, that's not nice
21:06 gmcharlt @marc 245 f
21:06 huginn` gmcharlt: Inclusive dates The time period during which the entire content of the described materials was created.
21:06 pianohacker repeated tag or subfield?
21:07 gmcharlt pianohacker: 245$f is NR
21:07 talljoy you don't repeat the 245
21:08 pianohacker gmcharlt: ah, okay
21:08 gmcharlt talljoy: to be clear, I'm pretty sure it's the 245$f for manuscripts
21:09 talljoy would you note that it was revised anywhere?
21:09 bag @marc 245f
21:09 huginn` bag: unknown tag 245f

21:10 huginn` cait: Inclusive dates The time period during which the entire content of the described materials was created.
21:10 cait ah
21:10 jcamins And then the appropriate 5xx note.
21:10 talljoy long live the 5xx tags  they are my favorite.
21:11 jcamins That's what I'd do.
21:11 Well...
21:11 Actually, that depends.
21:11 When you say "revised" you mean that there are MS amendations to an earlier MS, yes?
21:11 cait now the expert is talking
21:12 talljoy well revised as in.....  i wrote this script in 1990.  then when I got a job to put it on, I revised the script slightly in 1996
21:12 jcamins Ummm...
21:12 talljoy so i could argue they are really two things
21:12 jcamins hm.
21:12 talljoy but.....for this particular application that might blow their minds.
21:12 pianohacker edition info tags?
21:13 jcamins So the entire typescript(?) was rekeyed in 1996?
21:13 gmcharlt pianohacker: what is this edition you speak of for manuscripts?
21:13 cait talljoy: so it's not an old hand written thing but something else?
21:13 talljoy no jcamins the entire thing wasn't rekeyed.  perhaps certain acts were reworked
21:13 gmcharlt (i.e., some concepts like edition and publication date don't apply cleanly, or at all, for manuscripts)
21:13 * cait is confused now
21:13 pianohacker interesting, okay
21:14 cataloging++
21:14 jcamins In that case, yes, 245$f1990-1996.
21:14 talljoy okay.  i will give them my thoughts with ^ that as the preferred cataloging method.
21:15 sorry for the marc interruption libsysguy  you can come back now
21:15 * libsysguy peeks
21:16 talljoy all clear!
21:16 bring out the FRBR now
21:16 libsysguy now FRBR I can talk about
21:17 RDA is just FRBR's hacky realization
21:17 :p
21:20 jcamins libsysguy: RDA = FRBR - Functional
21:21 libsysguy heh
21:22 jcamins And - Requirements
21:22 And, while we're at it, they don't really do Bibliographic either.
21:23 libsysguy RDA = MARC v1.1
21:23 gmcharlt But (to the dismay of the Linked Data folks) RDA does do "records" :)
21:23 jcamins gmcharlt: yup.
21:24 libsysguy I was thinking about marc data the other day, wound't it make sense to store that in a document non-relational store?
21:24 I know…its weird that I was thinking about MARC by choice
21:27 specifically MongoDB?
21:32 pianohacker libsysguy: would probably work better than the two approaches Koha has tried, from massive normalized-ish row-for-every-subfield MySQL tables to "to hell with it, store the whole marcxml blob"
21:33 libsysguy *sigh* blobs
21:34 I guess you could store the marc blob in a NoSQL db and everything else in an RDBMS
21:34 pianohacker yeah. thanks to some xml-processing  tools built into MySQL and excellent CPAN/Zebra support, the latter is working _much_ better than the former, but it's still maybe not ideal
21:35 plus, we kind of do, if you treat zebra as a db with one hell of a search engine :P
21:35 libsysguy well anytime you can let a binary handle parsing for you its much better
21:35 heh
21:35 gmcharlt I'm not sure what storing the blob in a separate NoSQL DB would gain us, considering the MySQL can store the blob well enough and Zebra/Solr can make in searchable
21:36 libsysguy usually the NoSQL db's have full text indexing so you kind of get a two for one
21:36 but…I don't think you have facet control
21:37 and on that note, I'm off
21:37 later guys
21:37 pianohacker libsysguy: yeah, that's the thing. the lack of good support for facets and  good specific-field searching/relevant ranking make most search engines fall down
21:37 it's why we deal with IndexData's documentation :P
21:37 but bye :)

21:46 wizzyrea :D
21:46 * wizzyrea would love to get libsysguy, cjh, and pianohacker in a real room together. It would be epic.
21:47 cjh *real* room, as in, offline? that sounds dangerous.
21:47 cait heh
21:47 might be dangerous?

21:48 aww
21:49 cjh wizzyrea: -!- libsysguy [~libsysguy@c-98-198-83-206.hsd1.tx.comcast.net] has left #koha [] :(
21:49 YoungPublicLibrarian I'm back with a question about the report you all helped me with last week. You told me to look for the location value of the Hidden for OPAC in Authorized Values -> Location. Does anyone happen to know what it would be under in there?
21:49 jsangalli joined #koha
21:49 wizzyrea they are user configured - we'd have no idea
21:49 sorry :(
21:50 if you know of an item that is hidden, and look at it
21:50 it will tell you
21:50 pianohacker wizzyrea: hmm. I don't know. I think libsysguy and I would either love each other or drive each other up a wall :)
21:50 YoungPublicLibrarian Dang, okay. Maybe I can get help from ByWater. How would an item that is hidden tell me?
21:54 I mean, would I look at the items stats in cataloging or somewhere else?
21:55 wizzyrea you would look at the item, probably in edit items
21:56 which library are you from?
22:09 YoungPublicLibrarian One from The Valnet Consortium.
22:10 NateC joined #koha
22:10 wizzyrea oh right - you told me that ages ago
22:11 sorry, I've slept since then :)
22:11 eythian hi
22:11 wahanui kai ora, eythian
22:11 YoungPublicLibrarian Under edit items...
22:12 It says c - Shelving Location and has a selection list where "Hidden from OPAC" is chosen.
22:12 wizzyrea looks like the description for items.location contains Hidden from OPAC
22:14 rangi kai ora?
22:14 eat life?
22:15 wahanui is a zombie
22:15 cait oh lol
22:16 YoungPublicLibrarian Okay, so I'm trying to modify the Bibs Marked On Order report to give me all items marked hidden from OPAC. So what would I be looking for to put in the "where items.location = ' ? ' " line?
22:18 eythian whatever the authorised value code for "Hidden from OPAC" is
22:18 YoungPublicLibrarian Right, that's what I'm asking how to find... Lol
22:19 I was told to look for that code under Administration -> Authorized Values -> Location, but what am I looking for once I get to location?
22:20 cait i gues syu don't have access to the administration module?
22:21 try to write yourself a report:
22:21 wizzyrea she can't
22:21 cait oh
22:21 no reports either?
22:21 is the loc searchable in advanced search in the staff interface?
22:21 i mean can you search that hidden in opac?
22:22 YoungPublicLibrarian Search how? And he... Lol
22:22 eythian YoungPublicLibrarian: you go there, and it'll give you a list of them all
22:22 wizzyrea it's hidden from the opac.
22:23 she doesn't have rights to do any of that.
22:23 eythian one of them will be the code for "hidden from the opac"
22:23 well someone has to go there, or it's simply not possible
22:23 wizzyrea ^^^
22:23 cait wizzyrea: if location is searchable in staff advanced search...
22:24 YoungPublicLibrarian I can't go there, that's 9/10 of the problem... And Wizzyrea, I is male... Lol
22:24 cait they migt have hidden the LOC value from opac but not from staff
22:24 wizzyrea ah sorry
22:24 cait i wonder if you can see it in the source code of the add item screen
22:24 probably you can
22:24 YoungPublicLibrarian How would I search it through the staff interface?
22:24 eythian cait: that's a good idea
22:24 it'd probably work
22:25 cait years of being creative in things like that :P
22:25 wizzyrea actually yea, ctrl-u on the add items page
22:25 YoungPublicLibrarian Ooh! I like that idea. So go to the add item screen and view the page source, looking for the Hidden from OPAC terms?
22:25 eythian yeah
22:25 wizzyrea it'll probably be the value
22:26 eythian and it'll be something like <option value="CODE">Hidden from OPAC</option>
22:26 or similar
22:26 cjh cait++
22:26 YoungPublicLibrarian I'm trying it now. Give me a sec... And thanks for finding a work around!
22:31 Okay, it says (<option value="HIDDEN">Hidden from OPAC</option>") So would "HIDDEN" be the code I'm looking for?
22:31 eythian jup

22:47 YoungPublicLibrarian The report I'm modifying is the Bibs Marked On Order report from the report library. Just wondering how complicated it would be to add collection code to what the report returns when run...

22:47 YoungPublicLibrarian Ooh! I like when things are that easy!
