04:27 rangi ohh
04:27 cool
04:27 Francesca joined #koha
04:28 eythian there are data safety issues, but I'm sure we can work that out.

07:16 janPasi hi koha! anyone got an idea why we're getting a bunch of "invalid value" errors for transport cost matrix?
07:17 also the matrix doesn't get saved at all
07:20 transport-cost-matrix.pl: Use of uninitialized value $value in pattern match (m//) at /home/koha/kohaclone/admin​/transport-cost-matrix.pl line 85., referer: http://[...]/cgi-bin/koha/adm​in/transport-cost-matrix.pl?
07:20 that's in the error-log

07:38 marcelr hi #koha
07:38 cait hi marcelr
07:38 marcelr :)
07:39 janPasi seems that transport_cost table is empty, how is it supposed to get filled?
07:39 or how can i create it?
07:39 cait you don't need it until you are using the transport cost matrix to determine which libraires shoudl fill a hold
07:39 in a multibranch system
07:39 it's an optional feature
07:40 there is a system preference and a configuration page for it
07:40 janPasi that's what i'm planning to do, we need that feature
07:40 what's the system pref called?
07:40 codavid joined #koha
07:40 cait search for transport
07:40 wahanui joined #koha
07:41 codavid left #koha
07:42 janPasi "use transport cost matrix" is "use", and we've tried setting them up with transport-cost-matrix.pl, but it just gives us those "invalid value" errors
07:42 and refuses to save the matrix
07:42 cait what have you tried to enter and which version are you using?
07:44 janPasi this is 3.16.04 and we just tried to set one value (30) in transport-cost-matrix.pl to test the feature
07:44 cait no error shown?
07:45 janPasi There were problems with your submission
07:45 Invalid value for Aseman kirjasto -> Jäälin kirjasto
07:45 cait hmm could you try with the english templates? just for testing?
07:45 janPasi and the same repeats for every branch-combination
07:46 cait: iäm currently using english templates
07:46 *i'm
07:46 cait hm
07:46 and you just entered 30?
07:46 janPasi yep
07:46 cait my test database has only a single branch so i can't test
07:47 is there a javascript error by chance?
07:47 3.16 is pretty old by now
07:47 janPasi we have 50 branches here
07:48 cait i am teting in 3.20 and ther eit saves without any problems
07:48 i wonder if it could be an encoding issue - coudl you try 2 branches with no special characters?
07:49 what i do is click in the field, uncheck the disabled checkbox, enter "10" and save
07:49 janPasi that's exactly what we've done here too
07:49 we have errors like this in koha-err.log:
07:49 [Mon Jul 20 10:45:20.540847 2015] [cgi:error] [pid 7762] [client 10.76.90.9:49034] AH01215: [Mon Jul 20 10:45:20 2015] transport-cost-matrix.pl: Use of uninitialized value $value in pattern match (m//) at /home/koha/kohaclone/admin​/transport-cost-matrix.pl line 85.
07:50 cait hm can't check that here right now
07:50 could you try one of the public demos maybe?
07:50 janPasi got an address at hand?
07:51 cait demo?
07:51 wahanui rumour has it demo is at http://koha-community.org/demo/ or http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]ha_Demo_Databases
07:51 janPasi ok, thanks :D
07:53 no-errors there and the value gets saved
07:53 cait hm so it could be 2 thing i guess... something about the data or the version
07:55 janPasi i think transport-cost-matrix.pl is pretty old, it has (c)2000-2002 katipo communications and 2010 biblibre, so not likely a version issue
07:56 unless ofcourse it's been fixed after 3.16 :D
07:57 it could be a problem with ä/ö actually
07:57 drojf if something has been fixed, it should be on the bugtracker
07:57 janPasi it seems to complain about transport pairs with one of those letters in the branch name
07:57 drojf what letters?
07:58 (08:57:12) janPasi: it could be a problem with ?/? actually
07:59 (maybe that is a problem on my side?)
07:59 kivilahtio joined #koha
08:01 cait hm i think the copyright is wrong there
08:01 the feature is not nearly that old
08:02 probably bad copy and paste
08:02 it's from 3.10 tho
08:03 http://bywatersolutions.com/20[…]rix-in-koha-3-10/
08:03 drojf: i only see question marks too :)
08:04 janPasi it was a problem with Ä
08:04 one our branch-codes has Ä in it and that seems to make the saving fail
08:04 cait it would be good to see if that is also a problem in later versions - maybe change a branchname on the demo for a test?
08:04 eek
08:04 yeah, don't use such things in branchcodes
08:04 branchnames can be anything, but any codes in koha should only be a-z0-9
08:04 janPasi it wasn't me! :D
08:04 i swear
08:04 cait and no spaces or underscores
08:05 i believe you - and it's pretty hard to change later on
08:05 but *shudder*
08:05 janPasi _ is ok, though
08:06 you think an underscore will be a problem later on?
08:07 maybe we should change them

11:20 drojf @later tell wizzyrea any idea what options there are to translate (parts of) the website? i think it would be appropriate to have multilingual information available, but could not possibly translate all of it. would it be possible to use a fallback option for things that are not translated? es.koha-community.org does not seem to exist any longer, so i can't check what they did
11:20 huginn` drojf: The operation succeeded.
11:36 drojf @later tell wizzyrea this looks like it does what i am thinking about https://wordpress.org/plugins/polylang/ do you think it would be an option for the koha website?
11:36 huginn` drojf: The operation succeeded.

12:43 tcohen morning!
12:44 hi cait
12:44 hi drojf
12:44 cait hi tcohen :)
12:44 marcelr hi tcohen
12:44 drojf hi tcohen
12:45 hi marcelr
12:45 tcohen i'm back from my holiday in buenos aires
12:45 marcelr hi drojf
12:45 tcohen hi marcelr
12:48 drojf: about the video's license https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2797468
12:49 jajm is there a way in Koha to store simple variables like systempreferences, but not editable by users (only by code) ?
12:49 drojf tcohen: thanks. can we put a version somewhere else too? like, not on youtube
12:49 just as a file download
12:49 tcohen jajm, maybe systempreferences ?
12:50 drojf: will ask the authors, I think I have a version somewhere, the problem is i lost lots of things on my stolen laptop
12:50 cait jajm: what's the use case?
12:50 jajm tcohen, system prefrences are meant to be editable by user, right ?
12:50 drojf tcohen: oh yes forgot about that :((
12:50 tcohen no worries
12:51 jajm: yes, I think cait's question is the best way to go
12:51 I was thinking systempreferences are only available for editing iif they are explicitly listed in the yaml file
12:51 jajm cait, to display a question with a button "remind me later"
12:51 cait tcohen: on local use tab they are all :)
12:52 tcohen oh
12:52 cait jajm: oh, sorry, in which context?
12:52 drojf i wish i had that button as an option for everything
12:54 tcohen drojf: i've just found a 720p version (not the 1080p original file, but might work)
12:54 it is 364MB
12:54 jajm cait, we want to display a message at intranet front page saying "Hea is disabled. Do you want to enable it ?" "Yes" "No (dont show again)" "Remind me later"
12:55 cait hm
12:55 it sounds a bit aggressive
12:55 to have that by default
12:57 tcohen jajm: I'd use a local syspref, as cait said
12:57 well, she didn't, but is monday, we are allowed to make no sense
12:58 drojf tcohen: great! maybe we can put it on the website, don't know if that would be a traffic problem though. i already @latered wizzyrea with something else so i'll postpone that ;) but its good the file is still available
12:59 tcohen drojf: just let me know what you need from me
12:59 i was waiting for liz's remake of the film (shorter version)
12:59 drojf maybe we could do a smaller webm to stream file at least
12:59 oh there is a remake?
12:59 or, will be
13:00 jajm cait, we can make something discreet :) and also we're afraid that nobody will be using this feature if not suggested
13:00 tcohen she wanted to make one, removing the kohacon part
13:00 mario joined #koha
13:01 drojf ok, then we should wait for that
13:02 tcohen i think we should both ask her about it
13:03 drojf peer pressure, good idea ;)
13:03 tcohen yeha
13:03 cait jajm: yeah, but i think it sounds like suggesting it a lot :) and i think a pref then - why would you not let them change it?
13:04 jajm: because i'd like to turn that off for our customers after updating
13:04 so a prf would be handy
13:04 to avoid 20 libraries getting scared ;)
13:06 jajm cait, there's already a system preference for that, my first question was about storing the last time we showed the message (in case of "Remind me later" click)
13:07 not something we want to be editable
13:08 cait I am not totally sold on the idea of such pop-ups to be honest
13:09 but i'd not worry so much about people editing it - the whatdidyoumean is also stored as a pref (see local use)
13:12 jajm cait, it can be a simple line under the "XXX pending approval", not very intrusive I think, but still visible
13:15 drojf it sounds a bit like an anti-feature to me
13:15 cait i know it's meant well... but such things can be pretty annoying to some people
13:17 drojf people like me :)
13:21 jajm I understand... so... any other idea to encourage using this feature ? :)
13:23 cait hm, blog post, newsletter, about page?
13:23 drojf what advantages does a library have from hea?
13:24 cait i guess one of the problems for us would be privacy - because the biblibre server can store all the ip addresses of the koha servers
13:25 drojf like google, where they all want to be listed ;)
13:25 cait yeah i know
13:25 i know...
13:26 jajm cait, how could we fix that ?
13:26 cait not sure - i haven't had time yet to look into this
13:26 would have to talk to our expert what is ok and needed
13:26 nengard joined #koha
13:26 cait sorry, need to fix something now - have only 25 mins left before i have to run to my bus )
13:26 cait left #koha
13:27 drojf jajm: i think there should be more information about -what kind of information is provided -provided to whom -what is the background.
13:28 so that libraries can have a reason to actively opt in
13:29 also, can i (or anyone, or the libraries) access the data and play with it?
13:29 huginn` New commit(s) kohagit: Bug 12352: Patron modification request page: Add link to patron record <http://git.koha-community.org/[…]ec2c1867bfd633016> / Bug 14524: Don't escape query_cgi with uri <http://git.koha-community.org/[…]07e8d3be310dd358b> / Bug 14494: Add some unit tests too for CalcDateDue <http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=ko
13:29 jajm drojf, you can access the data here http://hea.koha-community.org/
13:31 nengard left #koha
13:32 drojf jajm: i mean raw data. i don't really know what all is collected, but if you want libraries to take part, you should consider making it open data officially. and maybe find use cases beyond displaying it on the website
13:33 Jul_ joined #koha
13:33 drojf i mean, as a library, i would wonder what goals are there behind hea. display some graphs on a website? not very convincing
13:34 sophie_m1 joined #koha
13:35 drojf btw i think that "On this way they will concentrate on features used by most people." from the rfc is problematic. maybe some features are used less, because they would need more attention, not less?
13:35 (also i do not see how you can get an idea of that from the data on the website)
13:36 jajm the website certainly needs some work
13:37 drojf i think my first question would be, what data is actually collected from my library. i do not see that documented anywhere
13:38 well, it will be in the source code probably :) but that is not where the library will go to find that out

14:22 geek_cl Hi #koha !
14:22 any idea how to measure the Koha enviroment '
14:22 ?
14:26 tcohen du --si -s koha_env/
14:26 :-P
14:27 that's a measure
14:27 geek_cl yes, but focus on the answer of the entire koha env system, i mean answer by apache, the responses from mysql
14:27 tcohen what do you want to measure?
14:28 geek_cl not like, top, du, free and etc
14:28 tcohen the question itself is vague
14:28 geek_cl apache+mysql basically
14:28 tcohen performance?
14:28 wahanui well, performance is a non-issue with it these days, computer are plain good at encryption ;)
14:28 geek_cl one minute, i will try to explaint the context
14:29 (with my bad english ) :D
14:29 tcohen geek_cl: i used nytprof to measure the time it takes a page and find bottlenecks
14:29 you can do it in spanish, of course
14:29 geek_cl http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]th_Devel::NYTProf
14:31 ok, we get the database to a remote server,now we need to measure the new behavior to have done with this division.
14:33 tcohen you want to measure the added latency
14:34 introduced by moving to a remote DB server
14:34 just pick a page, nytprof it, with local vs. remote db server
14:34 the page should be meaningful I guess
14:35 a page that makes lots of db queries
14:35 (any of Koha's page heh)

18:33 in the light of recent events (there has been a discussion in germany whether girls are allowed to wear hot pants in school), i was wondering about our code of conduct. what exactly is "sexualized clothing/uniforms/costumes" and who is judging that?
18:34 and how am i supposed to judge it if i host a hackfest
18:59 pianohacker drojf: wait, that's on the code of conduct?
19:00 drojf pianohacker: http://koha-community.org/abou[…]/code-of-conduct/
19:01 first paragraph of the second version

19:38 bag drojf: each of us is a judge.  it is for us to judge on what we are comfortable with?  If we aren’t comfortable with something then we look to conference organizers for a place to find help?
19:39 * bag ok stepping out for a little bit
20:02 rangi morning
20:04 drojf: its specifically referring to
20:04 drojf bag: yes, of course. and i'm sure they will be happy to help. i will be. but i wonder what i am supposed to answer when i announce an event and refer to the code of conduct and get asked that question. i am not sure what sexualized clothing is. sexualized by the person wearing it, or the person seeing it? and so on. given that is in the section for sponsors and booth staff, that may have a background that i am not aware of
20:04 rangi Booth staff (including volunteers) should not use sexualized clothing/uniforms/costumes, or otherwise create a sexualized environment.
20:04 Booth staff
20:05 http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Booth_babes  <-- it's to deal with this
20:06 which shouldnt arise at any of our conferences, but if it does, at least we have a clause to deal with it
20:06 so it's not what people decide to wear to attend the conference, it's what companies/organisations dress people in to sell services
20:06 does that help?
20:06 drojf ok, i understand the background now, thanks. and no, i can hardly imagine that applying to any koha event, thankfully
20:06 rangi cool
20:07 drojf yes, a lot. thanks
20:08 rangi it suprisingly happens at some of the bigger library confernces
20:08 drojf i don't think it is a thing in germany. at least i hope so
20:08 rangi but no where to the extent it does at same, gaming or automobile, or gun ones
20:08 drojf oh yes i can imagine that
20:08 i attend such things rarely ;)
20:09 rangi good choice :)
20:09 drojf heh
20:12 ibeardslee also part of the reason I stopped going to kickboxing fight nights .. ring girls rather than booth babes
20:15 rangi true
20:15 drojf: did you get any replies to your kohacon email?
20:15 * drojf hides the plans for the "koha hackfest and gun nuts meeting"
20:15 drojf rangi: not yet
