00:00 rangi ghent isnt that far from marseille
00:00 (in the scheme of things hehe)
00:00 eythian MARC converts to JSON and embeds some JSON-MARC (to coin a standard), which then gets converted back to MARC on searching for display
00:00 this is mostly so it fits in with the existing framework.
00:01 tcohen does catmandu provide the bridge back to Koha from ES?
00:01 eythian I think less so
00:01 can't remember if we use it at all for that or not
00:01 tcohen i'll be back to argentina by 9th?
00:01 rangi ah bummer
00:02 we dont currently
00:02 currently we are doing the same workflow as with zebra, export index, search, get full record from database
00:02 however
00:03 as elasticsearch hands back json .. we could switch to quite a different search/display in the next phase
00:03 even something like using angularjs to display results .. ajax search
00:04 tcohen yeah, was just thinking about that
00:04 rangi but for now, we want something that works pretty much the same as zebra
00:04 so we can test it
00:04 and then we can move forward
00:04 if that makes sense?
00:04 tcohen it makes alot of sense
00:04 the only problem might be policy
00:04 about what to show/hide
00:05 rangi *nod*
00:05 tcohen that might put Koha in the middlle
00:05 eythian also working this way it's possible to switch out implementations fairly cleanly
00:05 rangi or make that be an index
00:05 theres options :)
00:05 chrisvella joined #koha
00:06 eythian for policy you'd put a filter in
00:06 rangi its a shame we cant make it to the hackfest
00:06 eythian so you'd have "and somethingsomething must-not equal 1", and the query would work within the results of that.
00:06 (OpacSupression currently not implemented, as it's done in a really bad way in zebra.)
00:07 tcohen eythian: i was thinking about the frameworks
00:07 and per-branch authorized va
00:07 lues
00:07 eythian oh, well right now what works just like zebra I think
00:07 i.e. it's all done after the fact.
00:08 rangi yep, thats a in the future thing
00:08 /svc/authorised_values/ccode/FISH
00:08 etc
00:08 that would be a super simple service to write :)
00:08 dcook tcohen: I was thinking about that a bit even with Zebra... I think the frameworks might need to be refined some more?
00:08 rangi maybe ill save that for next students
00:09 dcook As sometimes you'll want to export the full record and sometimes you don't...
00:09 rangi an authorised values service
00:09 for opac and staff
00:13 tcohen dcook: don't know what are you talking about
00:14 eythian: for some stuff we should be doing some stuff on indexing-time
00:14 rangi: I agree
00:14 dcook tcohen: Oh well, it probably doesn't matter.
00:15 * dcook got cooked this morning by a server
00:15 dcook A/C didn't turn on due to a bad hub... so my brain might still be scrambled
00:15 Or is it poached?
00:16 tcohen dcook: my condolencies
00:16 dcook thanks ;)
00:16 tcohen (for the server)
00:24 wizzyrea poaching is a pretty gentle cooking method.
00:25 was there warm-ish oil or water involved? because otherwise you're baked or broiled #cookingpedant
00:27 oh. I should check master but I think if you don't want opaccustomsearch to nuke your search box even if empty, you have to enter "NULL" in it
00:27 just leaving that here.
00:27 for no real good reason except "ugh annoy"
00:30 tcohen wizzyrea: fill a bug? please :-D
00:31 wizzyrea yeah probably will do once I've checked that actually happens on master :)
00:31 unless you just did and can confirm  (which btw I'm not asking you to)
00:38 dcook opaccustomsearch?
00:38 Yeah, probably baked
00:39 eythian rats
00:40 I wanted to know what tcohen thought we should be doing at indexing time
00:44 dac joined #koha
00:51 wizzyrea it probably had something to do with unicorn giraffes.
00:51 yes, I do get a little more random every day.
00:52 eythian no, that was quite deterministic. Also, they're not giraffes, they're long horses.
00:52 wizzyrea hehehe

02:01 jcamins cait?
02:01 wahanui i think cait is regretting a bit that we didn't offer this as an option first... or on a test system for people to see
02:01 jcamins cait?
02:01 wahanui cait is lookign forward to the API discussion
02:01 jcamins cait?
02:01 wahanui somebody said cait was very pale, and needs lots of sun lotion.
02:01 jcamins cait?
02:01 wahanui i guess cait is from germany. Ask me about germany.
02:01 jcamins cait?

09:08 magnuse bonjour paul_p
09:09 just 2 weeks now... :-)
09:28 * ashimema is seeing delays on his passport renewal.. that puts Marseilles in jeopardy for him :(
09:29 drojf1 joined #koha
09:29 Joubu ashimema: that's not a good news!
09:30 ashimema no.. it's rather annoying..
09:30 I'm wondering if it doesn't come through in time how I can partake remotely.
09:34 magnuse ashimema: can't you get a temporary passport?
09:35 * magnuse has been to marseille 3 times without showing a passport
09:37 Joubu magnuse: UK is not in the schengen area...
09:37 ashimema what Joubu said
09:38 we don't have ID cards in the UK so we need a passport even for europe.. I could wing it on a ferry, but flights tend to be allot more strict in my experience.
09:38 can't believe I forgot it needed renewing.. 10 years is a long gap between renewals I suppose
09:40 drojf what about the temporary passport option magnuse proposed? it's common in germany too.
09:40 i had to do it once when they found my passport was out of date while i tried to leave the country :/
09:41 magnuse ah, guess being outside schengen changes things, yeah
09:41 fun fun fun
09:41 yay me - first signoff of the year (waaay too late, i know)
09:43 drojf there should be some kind of video conferencing at the hackfest anyway ^^
09:46 ashimema indeed
10:00 irma joined #koha
10:06 magnuse we should try and make it a week of intense qa work for everyone involved, not just the ones that can go to marseille, in my opinion
10:06 hiya irma
10:07 irma Bonjour/bonsoir magnuse :-)
10:08 magnuse Is Marseilles on your agenda this year?
10:08 magnuse irma: yes it is!
10:08 really starting to look forward to it now
10:08 irma Quelle chance!
10:08 magnuse your French must be improving  too ...
10:08 magnuse lol
10:09 from 0.0 to 0.00001
10:09 irma version control? ah ... version progress ...nice and steady, I see :-)
10:09 magnuse yeah
10:10 i have survived
10:10 irma We were in Europe in December so can't make it back to the old continent in March $$
10:10 magnuse managed to buy food, groceries, pain au chocolate...
10:10 oh, and you didn't drop by me? :-(
10:10 ;-)
10:11 irma :-( tried but hum ... missed the train heading north from Frankfurt
10:12 magnuse oh noes :-)
10:13 drojf don't know if it is an option for people in marseille but i have a webinar server that could use some testing. it's not capable of hosting a gazillion clients, but i suppose it would work for streaming talks to a few people in here that want to take part
10:15 ashimema :)
10:21 Joubu Cheeses cannot be tasted/smelt by streaming...
10:22 drojf Joubu: i'm very thankful for that :D
10:41 magnuse cheese!
10:41 wahanui hmmm... cheese is delicious, but cait just had butter.
10:48 drojf magnuse: you can have it all :)

13:29 vtk i am trying to convert excel data into marc but for one title if multiple items are there those many bibliographic records are generated. What is required to attach all items in one bibliographic record while mapping data from excel in deliminted text wizard
13:40 magnuse vtk: which tool are you using? marcedit?
13:40 the trick is that you need to have one 952-field per item
13:44 vtk joined #koha
13:44 vtk i wish to know in my excel sheet for the same title if i have more than one barcode where should that barcode be in my excel sheet
13:45 and it should be mapped how while using in delimited text wizard
13:53 magnuse vtk: what do you mean by "delimited text wizard"?
13:54 vtk sorry delimited text converter
14:04 drojf joined #koha
14:11 magnuse vtk: is that a thing in marcedit or something else?
14:12 vtk yes in marcedit Delimited Text
14:12 where we can add source file as excel file
14:13 and then map each column to marc tag and convert that excel data to marc file
14:17 drojf that is probably a question for something like a marcedit forum. i don't think people here use it much
14:18 vtk oh ok
14:18 drojf there seems to be a mailing list for marcedit marcedit.reeset.net/help
14:19 http://marcedit.reeset.net/help
14:20 vtk ok tx
14:20 also one more query i have abt publisher authority
14:21 when i try to add publisher in authority in which tag nos in authority i should enter name of publisher, place and address of publisher
14:21 drojf getting something to eat, later #koha

22:33 dcook eythian: What's the intensive part of using ElasticSearch?
22:33 Perl dependencies?
22:33 * dcook is pondering how it might work in a non-Debian based system
22:33 eythian what do you mean by intensive?
22:33 dcook Good question
22:33 You mentioned how you couldn't really install it on any current stable systems, yeah?
22:33 That it would only work on Jessie and maybe a newer Ubuntu?
22:33 Well, not ES, but the Catmandu stuff
22:34 eythian oh yeah
22:34 the dependencies are complicated and it's dealing with quite new libraries.
22:34 drojf1 joined #koha
22:34 eythian I did get it going on the non-LTS current ubuntu
22:34 but, jessie will be a lot easier in general
22:35 dcook Might be good incentive to move over to Debian, I suppose..
22:36 eythian yeah. You could probably get them all with cpan without too much difficulty, but I prefer having OS packages.
22:36 dcook Yeah, I like OS packages too
22:37 There was something I had to package the other day...
22:37 Oh, it was for a local customization
22:38 I suppose I could've used CPAN for that, but... I figure there's more control packaging it yourself as well
22:38 Or if a new version does come up in the Debian repo..
22:38 Or could upstream it, or...
22:39 chrisvella joined #koha
22:40 eythian I think I lost track of what you were saying half way through :)
22:43 dcook I certainly would have
22:43 Maybe I did
22:43 It's warm in here
22:44 cait is your brain still broiled?
22:44 sorry, read back in the logs erarlier :)
22:44 dcook I think so!
22:44 cait ineresting cooking discussion :)
22:44 dcook You must be reading a lot of logs!
22:44 cait mine is frozen
22:44 or what do you call what happens to frozen food?
22:45 nah, not regularly
22:49 wizzyrea: around?
22:50 eythian cait: I think she's lunching
22:51 dcook I am so confused
22:51 Oh, your brain
22:51 I thought you meant your logs were frozen
22:51 Yes, my brain must be broiled... or boiled... or baked...
22:52 * dcook just had breakfast and is so ready for lunch now
22:52 cait eythian: ah too bad
22:53 someone else can explain the difference between holds to pull and holds queue for a single banch library?
22:53 hm i think i see it
22:54 or no, still confused:)
23:00 hm and the paging on the holds to pull one is broken
23:00 * cait will file a bug later
23:02 eythian I think it's always been confusing.
23:02 It really needs some clarification, better naming, whatever.
23:03 cait some style work too
23:04 eythian well, probably a redesign so that they have the same UI but more clarity about the difference between them, or something along those lines.
23:11 dcook Holds to pull is for materials that need to be pulled and held aside for patrons
23:11 Holds queue...
23:11 wahanui i think holds queue is to do with that table
23:11 dcook No idea
23:12 It might list all holds?
23:12 Even ones that aren't ready to pull?
23:13 I suppose a minute or two and I might be able to tell you..
23:13 Hmm, I'm definitely wrong about that
23:14 "Holds queue: This report will show you all of the holds at your library."
23:14 :S
23:19 cait: holds queue shows what's in `tmp_holdsqueue`
23:19 Which depends on C4::HoldsQueue::CreateQueue
23:19 Which...
23:19 wahanui it has been said that which is why it is strange that it BROKE... after upgrading like that.
23:20 dcook Seems like a rather convoluted process
23:21 cait heh
23:21 i am wondering if there is a main difference if you are a single branch...
23:22 i think the built one is more if there are multiple items that could fill the hold in multiple branches?
23:22 helping to pick the library that has to?
23:26 dcook Mmm
23:28 There may be no purpose for a single branch?
23:30 I'm looking at a multibranch library..
23:30 Hmm, it seems right according to Koha, but it looks weird..
23:31 Dunno, other things to do, alas
23:38 cait thx :)
23:38 time here to sleep n- night all
23:50 wizzyrea gah, cait are you still here?
23:50 cuz I'm back now >.<
23:50 the holds queue assigns an item to a reserve
23:51 I just wrote an explanation of this not long ago, let me see if I can find it
23:52 pastebot "wizzyrea" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "holds to pull vs. reserve queue" (3 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/433
23:53 eythian see, they really need to be combined into one sane interface
23:54 wizzyrea yeah, they do. Reserves queue does some fancy-ish mapping of items to reserves
23:54 it can do stuff like weighting near branches higher, deals with local hold item types
23:54 holds to pull just vomits out everything and expects the human to deal with it
23:55 for a single branch, the reserve queue doesn't make a lot of sense
23:55 except that it is much more succinct than holds to pull.
