00:04 dcook We can hope so :)
00:04 I hope that you manage to get some clients to take a look as well
00:04 The more eyes the better, me thinks
00:05 pianohacker yup :) Code is at https://github.com/pianohacker/koha/tree/pci if you want to take a look
00:06 modifications to the pazpar2 setup are needed to get it working, but it is doable :)
00:08 dcook Ah, I'm not much of a coding whiz myself. I've just worked in libraries for a while and get feedback here and there from clients using Koha.
00:08 Although...
00:08 wahanui i heard although was mine 2.3.2 or 2.3.3
00:09 dcook I suppose a person could clone your git and run it through the Koha dev install?
00:09 pianohacker dcook: Yup
00:10 mucking with pazpar2 is required to get the search working, but everything else should work
00:10 dcook Ah, I think I follow you now
00:11 Perhaps a bit outside my reach for the moment then :p
00:11 Although I do have that one VM...perhaps I'll focus on the OAI-PMH harvester for now
00:12 mtompset joined #koha
00:12 mtompset Greetings, #koha.
00:13 dcook hey mtompset
00:13 wahanui rumour has it mtompset is disliking finding bugs while testing
00:13 mtompset jcamins: It seems you were right. No need for the plug in settings.
00:13 I'll going to reboot and check to make sure.
00:13 ^ll^m^
00:14 Greetings, dcook.
00:44 tcohen bye #koha
01:32 mtompset Yep. No need for the plugins settings. Interesting.
01:32 jcamins Why would you have thought that they were required?
01:32 mtompset The word plugins.
01:33 jcamins Ah.
01:35 mtompset Well, off to fortify myself with caffeine and then actually create a test plan for this.
01:41 jcamins Wow. The early Doctor Who is extraordinarily cheesy, isn't it?
01:42 pianohacker yup
01:42 dcook I've never watched it myself, but I've heard of this cheesy reputation, yep.
01:46 mtompset which Doctor?
01:46 eythian jcamins: it's quite funny how the moment anything happens, the female characters immediately go into hysterics.
01:46 jcamins The first, I think.
01:47 eythian Old crotchety man? That'd be Hartnell.
01:47 mtompset old guy, black and white, william hartnell?
01:47 jcamins Maybe.
01:47 mtompset jon pertwee was three...
01:47 who was two again?
01:48 http://www.bbc.co.uk/programme[…]/features/doctors (which one, jcamins?)
01:49 jcamins Yep. First Doctor.
01:49 wizzyrea omg, I was watching some 7th doctor... his first companion was the shriekiest thing I'd ever heard.
01:50 I almost stopped watching it.
01:50 Mel I think
01:51 it's all pretty cheesy up until 2005 ;)
01:51 don't get me started on the 8th doctor.
01:51 mtompset peri?!
01:51 I had a serious crush on her when I was a teenager.
01:52 jcamins Ian is currently dressed up as a the Ja'fa from Stargate.
01:53 mtompset Mel?
01:53 I didn't like Mel.
01:53 eythian wizzyrea: the 8th one doesn't count I think
01:53 mtompset Ace... now there's a companion... she liked to blow things up.
01:54 wizzyrea ace was cool.
01:54 gmcharlt who else could manage to take out a Dalek with a baseball bat? :)
01:55 wizzyrea ^ so much this
01:58 jcamins The next episode is the Warriors of DEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTHHHHHHHHH.
01:58 We decided it's too cheesy.
01:59 wizzyrea starting at series 1 episode 1 might be a bit extreme for the modern viewer.
01:59 jcamins Yeah.
02:00 wizzyrea but starting with 9th doctor will get you into it... then you can go back and appreciate the cheesiness.
02:00 dcook hehe
02:00 * wizzyrea was exposed to the cheese at a relatively early age, so is less bothered by it
02:03 dcook mmm cheese
02:18 pianohacker okay, I should probably knock off for the day, but I need to know
02:18 Is the configuration of the fields in the 008 field determined by the material type field in the leader?
02:18 jcamins Yes.
02:18 Wasn't that just on the list?
02:19 pianohacker I think so. Wanted to confirm before I did the work to make that happen, though :)
02:19 Thanks
02:19 dcook pianohacker++
02:20 pianohacker Whoever thought it would be a good idea to mix encoding and semantic information in the leader, make the 008 have 7 different layouts depending on a completely different field...
02:20 that person should be shot. repeatedly.
02:20 but then we'd just go on to shooting everyone responsible for MARC
02:21 and as SATISFYING as that would be
02:21 it would be much harder to hide that many bodies
02:26 jcamins pianohacker: yeah, it's a problem.
02:26 pianohacker jcamins: but then I preach to the choir ;)
02:28 jcamins: [off] ahahahahaha, well, only as many as were necessary at the time, I'm sure
02:29 * eythian notes that that is not how [off] works.
02:30 eythian http://irc.koha-community.org/[…]3-09-05#i_1378451
02:30 pianohacker dammit
02:30 but thanks, eythian :)
02:34 wizzyrea http://kohadevreactions.tumblr[…]we-need-more-marc < pianohacker
02:34 pianohacker yes...
02:34 I know someone will probably want to extend this editor to support RDA
02:34 and that frightens me
02:35 jcamins pianohacker: RDA is supported by virtue of RDA being just MARC.
02:35 wizzyrea http://kohadevreactions.tumblr[…]the-marc-standard
02:35 also this
02:36 pianohacker jcamins: True, though there would likely need to be some additions and work to support the new coded fields, from what I can tell
02:36 wizzyrea and probably this, for good measure http://kohadevreactions.tumblr[…]to-implementing-a
02:36 dcook pianohhacker: That seems odd
02:36 wizzyrea if people would tell us what to do with the newly coded fields, we would do that.
02:36 dcook As far as I can tell, there have just been modifications to existing fields and added fields
02:37 What do you refer to when you say "new coded field"?
02:37 wizzyrea probably the 3xx ones? the medium/carrier/otheroneican'tremember
02:37 * wizzyrea might be wrong on the number
02:39 jcamins There are no new fixed fields.
02:39 dcook ^^
02:40 * dcook is wondering why he didn't use "BatchStageMarcRecords" in this harvesting script...
02:41 pianohacker this was the main thing that looked like it would add complication: http://www.loc.gov/standards/v[…]t/rdacontent.html
02:45 jcamins I don't see why you wouldn't just make it an authorized value.
02:46 wizzyrea yes it seems to me that having that as a human enterable value is counter to the purpose of the field.
02:47 and you're right, it's not a fixed field.
02:47 but it's a field with decently fixed values, if you're doing it properly.
02:47 so I think we were just coming up against the same words with different interpretations.
02:48 jcamins I don't think so.
02:48 Fixed fields are a problem for a cataloging editor.
02:48 Variable fields with a defined set of values are not.
02:49 dcook ^^
02:49 wizzyrea whatever, I think we can agree that "tactile notated movement" sounds like a veiled description for poop.
02:49 poop with annotations.
02:49 jcamins We already have complete support for 336.
02:50 Define an RDACONTENT authorized value category. Link to 336$b. Done.
02:50 wizzyrea yes I know.
02:50 should we ship that by default?
02:50 dcook Probably wouldn't hurt
02:50 wizzyrea considering we don't want to ship a default RDA framework, I guess not.
02:51 dcook Ah, but we are shipping a default RDA framework
02:51 wizzyrea no we're not?
02:51 jcamins Yeah, but our default frameworks are so out-of-date I'm not sure it matters.
02:51 dcook RDA itself is not MARC
02:51 wizzyrea there's no RDA framework in koha by default.
02:51 dcook jcamins: Not the newest ones
02:51 3.14 should have up-to-date MARC frameworks by default
02:51 wizzyrea as evidenced by people still needing to get it from the wiki.
02:52 dcook I suppose it depends on how we define ship
02:52 jcamins dcook: Oh, yeah. That's right.
02:52 I forgot about pushing it.
02:52 wizzyrea yea, I mean, when you install koha, there is no RDA framework.
02:52 jcamins It's a year out of date.
02:52 dcook Either mtj or bgkriegel brought it up to the Update 16 from April 2013, I believe
02:52 jcamins bgkriegel.
02:52 wahanui i think bgkriegel is on a signoff spree
02:53 dcook wizzyrea: Sort of
02:53 Like I was saying, RDA isn't MARC
02:53 jcamins You don't actually need an RDA framework. Just a framework that isn't out of date.
02:53 dcook MARC did add fields to accomodate RDA though
02:53 Yeah, what he said :p
02:54 pianohacker Okay, now that I've beat my head against MARC all day
02:55 I'm out of here
02:55 wizzyrea yea probably best.
02:55 pianohacker Good night all :)
02:55 dcook night pianohacker
02:55 Looking forward to your continued efforts :)
02:55 pianohacker thanks dcook
02:55 pianohacker left #koha
04:06 * dcook will babble in channel then :p
04:10 dcook Better to encase both timestamp and "from" argument in date() functions
04:11 Or...remove the date() function and remove the T and Z characters from the "from" argument...
04:11 Probably the latter...
04:15 Blearghh
04:19 We're not really using UTC datestamps in the OAI-PMH server...
04:19 But changing that now would be problematic for anyone using it currently...
04:21 kmkale joined #koha
04:38 dcook On the other hand...if you're only passed a date...
04:38 it might make sense to compare only a date..

05:18 mtompset I really need to stop lurking. ;)
05:19 dcook I should eat lunch earlier :P
05:19 mtompset Greetings, cait dcook wizzyrea.
05:19 dcook @wunder toronto, canada
05:19 huginn` dcook: The current temperature in Toronto, Ontario is 16.0°C (1:00 AM EDT on September 05, 2013). Conditions: Clear. Humidity: 72%. Dew Point: 11.0°C. Pressure: 30.02 in 1017 hPa (Rising).
05:19 mtompset Yes, it's crazy early.
05:19 dcook Nah, crazy early might be...
05:19 @wunder konstanz
05:19 huginn` dcook: The current temperature in Taegerwilen, Taegerwilen, Germany is 13.1°C (7:15 AM CEST on September 05, 2013). Conditions: Clear. Humidity: 92%. Dew Point: 12.0°C. Pressure: 30.09 in 1019 hPa (Steady).
05:19 dcook Actually, that's not too bad
05:20 mtompset Actually, that's ... exactly.
05:22 dcook Sometimes, I want to write commit messages that say "take my word for it" :p
05:22 Oh well. Long (hopefully comprehensive) messages are what I do..
05:22 cait @wunder Lippstadt
05:22 huginn` cait: The current temperature in Geseke, Germany is 16.1°C (7:22 AM CEST on September 05, 2013). Conditions: Clear. Humidity: 88%. Dew Point: 14.0°C. Pressure: 30.06 in 1018 hPa (Steady).
05:23 dcook Lippstadt?
05:23 cait doing training today
05:26 dcook Fun fun
05:33 cait i hope it will be :)
05:36 dcook \o/
05:39 * dcook tries to remember what he was originally doing before he found a somewhat unrelated bug
05:39 dcook Lunch perhaps...
05:41 om nom nom
05:41 * dcook suddenly remembers rangi mentioning Casey...Sea Farer II...English channel swimming
05:43 dcook http://www.dover.uk.com/channelswimming/swims/ isn't too encouraging
05:45 twitter++
05:45 9.14 hours
05:46 About 3.6 km/hr
05:48 Maybe swimming from Gibraltar to Morocco is more intimidating than I thought...
06:13 mtompset Have a great day, #koha.
06:20 dcook Ahhhhhh
06:21 I finally understand "match_check" vs "match_point"
06:21 Wait, no I don't
06:21 Wait, yes I do
06:22 Match Point compares two fields with identical fields/subfields
06:22 But Match Check can be used to compare two different field/subfield pairs against each other
06:22 So 999$c against 001 or 995$c or something
06:22 Neat
06:22 * dcook wonders if it actually wroks
06:22 dcook works even
06:25 Sweet match_check uses match_points. Less searching for me..

08:54 Viktor I had to run for the bus so I missed the picture.
08:54 magnuse kohacon12attendees is http://koha-community.org/kohacon12-attendees/
08:54 Viktor: ahh
08:55 Viktor But a quick google of images for "Viktor Sarge" should give a few correct results even if it's hard to tell when different people are served diferent results based on prior searches..
08:57 But at least I recognize a whole bunch of nice people from the Edinburgh conference :)
09:00 magnuse hm, there are way too many people in that picture i have not met - i *need* to go to reno... ;-)

13:16 oleonard tcohen: You asked if I was going to substitute alerts for bootstrap modals, and the answer is that I don't have a plan to do so. I think it would not necessarily be an easy switch, depending on the situation.
13:29 When importing MARC records, can you match on ISBN but only add items? That is, don't replace the existing MARC record?
13:30 jcamins Yes. Choose to keep existing records and add items.
13:33 oleonard "Replace existing record with incoming record,"  "Add incoming record," or "Ignore incoming record (its items may still be processed)"
13:34 jcamins Ignore incoming record.
13:37 oleonard Hm... that wasn't working for me when I tested it. I'll have to try it again.

17:29 mtompset 698MB?! Wow. Git is growing.

17:31 mtompset Yep, just cloned a fresh one.
17:32 Greetings, cait jcamins. :)
17:32 Greetings, hankbank.
17:33 hankbank greetings earthlings
17:33 * jcamins resists the urge to ask why on earth you just cloned a new repo.
17:35 has low resistance, apparently.
17:35 jcamins mtompset: you do know that you can clone a repo with cp -R or rsync, right?
17:36 Or even git clone /my/old/repo/.git /my/new/repo
17:37 mtompset Just doing it as it is a new install. Don't want anything dangling.
17:39 So, you are saying a .git dir in any one of my repos could be git cloned into something that would be identical to a git clone from koha-community.org?
17:40 jcamins If you use cp -R or rsync, yes.
17:40 If you use git clone /my/old/repo/.git, you'd need to change the "origin" remote to point to git.k-c.org.
17:41 mtompset but that's just a config edit.
17:41 jcamins Yes.
17:43 I have cloned git.k-c.org 2-3 times in recent memory. Once to get a repo at home, a few years ago. Once to set up a development repo on my development server. And I may have cloned my release management repo, but I'm not sure of that.

18:22 tcohen mtompset: the only relevant thing tp copy is the .git dir itself
18:22 (if you want it quicker heh)
18:22 jcamins tcohen: true.
18:22 mtompset That's what I understood jcamins to say, tcohen.
18:23 * tcohen is just redundant
18:24 mtompset not a problem.
18:25 Dumb question... looking at the OPAC interface. Why are the news items suddenly not visible if you log in?
18:26 oleonard-away I don't find that to be the case in the prog template mtompset
18:27 mtompset Are you sure, oleonard? Because my screen says otherwise. Let me test on my fresh git install.
18:29 oleonard Logged in, not logged in, I see news either way. prog and ccsr
18:31 tcohen bye #koha
18:31 mtompset okay... here's the problem...
18:31 opac-user.pl
18:31 It goes to opac-user.pl when you log in.
18:32 oleonard Yes it does :)
18:32 mtompset If you click the koha logo, then you see the news again.
18:33 oleonard Yes, because news is displayed on the OPAC home page
18:34 mtompset Okay... but OPACNav is still visible on the opac-user.pl page.
18:34 Where would you put library hours?
18:34 jcamins Footer?
18:35 mtompset opaccredits?
18:35 jcamins I would. Unless you want to put them in the header.
18:37 mtompset Patrons are assigned a branch. It would be nice to know the library hours once you log in.
18:38 Is there such a functionality in Koha? Or is this a patch idea waiting to happen?
18:39 well, library hours, or branch specific announcements.
18:49 oleonard There could be if you used the multi-OPAC setup... Not sure if that still works?

19:05 * oleonard wonders what "Whitlind Woods" is...
19:10 paul_p joined #koha
19:25 oleonard Huh... I wouldn't have thought it would be valid to omit the "type" attribute of an <input>. I guess it defaults to "text"
19:30 cait html5?
19:30 jcamins @later tell drojf I have a project for you for after the GPG stuff: implement homomorphic encryption for circulation history so that people can choose to save their circ histories but not allowing the library access to that information.
19:30 huginn` jcamins: The operation succeeded.
19:34 cait jcamins: interesting :)
19:35 jcamins: you know he will never finish writing his thesis that way? ;)
19:35 jcamins cait: new thesis topic!
19:35 :D
19:35 cait not sure that would work :)
19:47 jcamins cait++ # for good advice on maple-bacon potatoes
19:47 cait lol
19:47 yv
19:47 yw
19:49 druthb cait++
19:54 oleonard cait has been channeling her inner Canadian?
19:55 jcamins oleonard: I suddenly came over all peckish and in the mood for something maple-y.
19:55 So I asked cait how to make maple potatoes, and she told me. :)
19:55 mtompset multi-OPAC setup, oleonard?
19:55 * cait is surprised herself
19:57 oleonard mtompset: http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]rfaces_by_URL_RFC
19:57 mtompset: I'm not sure if there's better information around, or whether that has been tested recently
19:58 mtompset Hmmm... we'd prefer one URL (easy to disseminate), and use branch code to distinguish post log in.
19:59 oleonard mtompset: Sounds like you've got a new development on your list
20:25 drnoe hello #koha.  regarding hard due dates:  How would Koha know from the data in issues that a due date is a hard due date and if it's before, on, or after???  I am missing something here.
20:26 cait it does know from the circulation rules
20:26 the hard due dates are calculated from the circulation rules on checkout - then it doesn't have to know later if it's a hard one or not, just a due date
20:27 oleonard Quitting time for me. Bye #koha
20:27 cait before means = it calculates the regular circulation period - but the due_date must be before the hard due date entered in circulation rules, so the loan period might be shortened
20:27 drnoe so a due date is a due date.  so I am not missing anything there
20:28 cait after means the due date minimum is that date, but it will also be after, if you have longer periods
20:28 and then it can be super hard.. being exactly the date
20:28 i don't think you do - but i might not be understanding correctly what you are looking for
20:30 drnoe overdue items with a hard due date set are not changing upon renewal (apparently)
20:31 due date is not updating that is
20:35 cait what is the setting?
20:35 before, after or hard?
20:36 what's the date due for the item and waht does the circulation rule say?
20:36 drnoe yeah, those were edited/deleted.  nice for trouble shooting, eh?
20:36 this is going to be a wild goose chase
20:37 cait if the circulation rule was deleted
20:37 they should renew normally i think
20:37 are you sure the problem is related to the hard due date setting?
20:37 is there a rnewal period configured in the circulation rules?
20:37 is the renewal calculated from today or from the date due (that can lead to see no change, if it's calculated from today)
20:39 drnoe again, hard to know since it was all changed.  gonna push this one back with "need to know what the circulation rule was."  thanks cait
20:39 cait drnoe: it should not matter
20:39 only the current circulation rule
20:39 koha can't care about something it does no longer know about :)
20:40 you want to check the renewal period setting in the circulation rule and the renewal related settings in the system preferences
20:40 drnoe they have changed this stuff patron categories and all the circ rules, so it is no longer happening...
20:41 again, a bit hard to troubleshoot when it's not longer possible to replicate
20:48 cait ah ok
20:48 yeah
