| 07:06 | Dangu joined #koha | |
| 07:07 | Dangu | Hello everyone. I'm trying to customize a koha installation (which is 3.22 btw). I saw that there should be an option named OPACSMALLIMAGE, but it's nowhere to be found either in opac preference setting or by searching the option with the "search-field" |
| 07:07 | do you have any ideas ? | |
| 07:11 | cdickinson joined #koha | |
| 07:17 | bigbrovar_ joined #koha | |
| 07:20 | Joubu | Dangu: What is supposed to do this option? |

| 07:44 | Joubu | v |
| 07:45 | magnuse | wasn't OPACSMALLIMAGE removed when we got the bootstrap theme for the opac? |
| 07:47 | cait | hm shoudl be, why? |
| 07:49 | magnuse | someone was asking about it earlier |
| 08:02 | paul_p joined #koha | |
| 08:51 | cait | @later tell drojf did you get changed flight times too? |
| 08:51 | huginn | cait: The operation succeeded. |
| 09:02 | atheia joined #koha | |
| 09:03 | atheia | hello #koha :-) |
| 09:03 | cait | hi atheia :) |
| 09:12 | Joubu | Could someone delete that page https://wiki.koha-community.or[…]an_Squeez_Script? |
| 09:12 | I emptied it but it seems that I don't have the rights to delete it | |
| 09:15 | cait | me neither it hnk |
| 09:16 | you can use an Obsolete thing maybe | |
| 09:16 | i think it was something like {{obsolete}} or similar - shoudl be on other pages too | |
| 09:16 | eythian | that was a seriously useless page. Why are there "sudo halt" statments everywhere? |
| 09:18 | cait | huh |
| 09:19 | ok, why would one database sort bilbionumber asc and the other biblionumber desc if the sort criteria is the same otherwise? | |
| 09:20 | eythian | are they sorting at all? |
| 09:22 | drojf joined #koha | |
| 09:22 | drojf | hi #koha |
| 09:22 | cait: yep got a new time | |
| 09:23 | more time for sight seeing in berlin ;) | |
| 09:23 | eythian | drojf: Stone Brewery is opening a brewbar type thing in Berlin |
| 09:23 | drojf | not sure what that is? |
| 09:25 | their web page says that a) they value sustainability and b) they distribute beer in cans. lol | |
| 09:26 | magnuse | "Debean Squeez Script" has been deleted |
| 09:26 | eythian | they're a good brewery |
| 09:26 | also, cans are better for beer than bottles, Germany is a bit behind on the good beer front these days :) | |
| 09:27 | drojf | if they make beer from stones, that should work for me. stones are gluten free, right? :) |
| 09:27 | eythian | yep |
| 09:27 | ashimema | what's the science behind cans being better than bottles for beer then eythian? |
| 09:28 | drojf | i think that is a lie :P |
| 09:28 | eythian | ashimema: lower oxidation rate due to a better seal, and less light let in primarily. |
| 09:28 | ashimema | me too ;) |
| 09:28 | the light I can understand | |
| 09:28 | eythian | they're also more efficient as they pack better. |
| 09:28 | ashimema | never would have guessed the seal was better especially though |
| 09:28 | eythian | it's really a lot better |
| 09:28 | drojf | hm yeah sustainability is not shipping your beer around the world :P |
| 09:28 | ashimema | mwah.. I still like bottles.. but I'm not snobby against cans really |
| 09:29 | eythian | drojf: that's why they're making a brew bar in berlin |
| 09:29 | ashimema | just usual don't have good beer in them to start with in this country ;) |
| 09:29 | drojf | eythian: good point |
| 09:29 | wahanui | I know! The blade went right through that child! |
| 09:29 | ashimema | they deffo pack better though.. I'll give you that |
| 09:29 | eythian | in NZ cans are getting more and more popular due to the improvement in quality |
| 09:30 | especially if it's something you're storing. | |
| 09:30 | ashimema | there's aren't many good ales in cans over here.. and I'm not the biggest lager drinker.. though it has it's time and place too |
| 09:30 | magnuse | good point? |
| 09:30 | wahanui | I know! The blade went right through that child! |
| 09:30 | magnuse | wahanui: forget good point |
| 09:30 | wahanui | magnuse: I forgot good point |
| 09:30 | drojf | i never liked canned beer |
| 09:31 | i am a bottle child | |
| 09:31 | magnuse | good point? |
| 09:31 | drojf | that is probably something only working in german :D |
| 09:31 | flaschenkind | |
| 09:31 | magnuse | hehe |
| 09:31 | flaskebarn in norwegian | |
| 09:31 | drojf | i would not mind glutenberg bringing over their cans though. from canada to berlin would make more sense in cans |
| 09:31 | eythian | drojf: well, you're held back from good quality beer by 500 years of silly tradition anyway :) |
| 09:32 | also, you put your beer into a glass unless you're some sort of heathen. | |
| 09:32 | drojf | ugh |
| 09:32 | fancyshmancy | |
| 09:33 | we drink our beer from the bottle. right in the street | |
| 09:33 | or at the construction site we work at ;) | |
| 09:33 | eythian | http://idealog.co.nz/design/20[…]cts-alcoholic-art <-- also, you get better designs |
| 09:38 | magnuse | gotta love it when the link to detail view looks like this http://bibliotek.alingsas.se/w[…]p_col_id%3Dcolumn |

| 09:38 | drojf | lol |
| 09:40 | Joubu | eythian: the "Aro noir" looks great :) |
| 09:41 | eythian | Joubu: I have the t-shirt of that one |
| 09:43 | drojf | is anyone using catmandu to create marc recods from non-marc sources? |
| 09:43 | Joubu | rangi brought some nice cans in Cordoba, I tasted a Saison which was really good. I Don't remember the name, but the can was nice |
| 10:04 | drojf | a few days ago i accidentally installed koha insteads of koha-common. that made me wonder what we are going to do with that? |
| 10:04 | does it work at all? does anyone use it? what is the difference to koha-common? | |
| 10:05 | Joubu | N: Unable to locate package koha |
| 10:07 | drojf | Joubu: when you build your own you get one |
| 10:07 | Joubu | ha, never heard about that package |
| 10:08 | drojf | i can upload one if you like ;) |
| 10:16 | Francesca joined #koha | |
| 10:19 | atheia joined #koha | |
| 10:30 | Joubu | @later tell tcohen Tomas, wake up! |
| 10:30 | huginn | Joubu: The operation succeeded. |
| 10:48 | jcamins | drojf: it was never really finished. |
| 10:49 | drojf | jcamins: the koha package? what was it supposed to do differently? |
| 10:50 | jcamins | drojf: it can only be used for a single instance, which is preconfigured. |
| 10:51 | drojf | hm ok… so it is limited to a part of what koha-common can do? or is there something that only koha can do? |
| 10:52 | is there a use case when you would want koha instead of koha-common, because you can't achieve what you want to do with koha-common? or would it just be simpler to set up maybe? (less options) | |
| 10:54 | uh that coffee made me want to do a lot of stuff… simultanously | |
| 11:02 | jcamins | drojf: no, koha-common is more functional, and easier to set up since koha didn't quite work the way it was planned. |
| 11:02 | At least, that's how I see it. | |
| 11:03 | drojf | we should probably get rid of koha completely and eventually rename koha-common to koha? |
| 11:06 | jcamins | Yes, that's something that I thought about during 3.12. |
| 11:39 | drojf | C4/Auth_cas_servers.yaml.orig is driving me nuts. how the hell can i make it not get deleted all the time? |
| 11:39 | whenever i commit something, that damn file is going away | |
| 11:50 | meliss joined #koha | |
| 11:51 | cait | sorry, meeting... |
| 11:51 | drojf: bit anoying - now it will get late until we get to thessaloniki | |
| 11:53 | Joubu | drojf: that's funny, I noticed its existence this morning! |
| 11:54 | drojf | Joubu: did it get deleted accidentally for you too? |
| 11:55 | Joubu | drojf: yep exactly |
| 11:55 | drojf | cait: how much later is it now? i did not spend much attention |
| 11:55 | Joubu: did you find a way to make it stay? or will we delete it because it wants to die? | |
| 11:56 | cait | i think we get in after eight now |
| 11:56 | i can check sec | |
| 11:56 | Joubu | drojf: it happened when I was playing with pbuilder |
| 11:56 | drojf | oh! |
| 11:56 | cait | yeah |
| 11:56 | 17:15 - 20:45 | |
| 11:56 | drojf | what was the old one? |
| 11:56 | cait | 16:00 |
| 11:57 | drojf | oh thats really late |
| 11:57 | cait | so would have been 19:30 i think? |
| 11:57 | drojf | with getting the luggage, getting to the hotel and all :/ |
| 11:57 | cait | yeah |
| 11:57 | puts a dent in dinner plans | |
| 11:57 | drojf | you already had dinner plans for thessaloniki? |
| 11:57 | cait | do you know if somene else is ont hat flight now too? |
| 11:57 | no... but there would have been the option :) | |
| 11:58 | drojf | zeno is not going to greece. not sure which flight pianohacker is going to take. eythian maybe? |
| 11:58 | eythian | I haven't booked yet, lazy. |
| 11:59 | cait | and atheia |
| 11:59 | but he wnted to return in between i think? | |
| 11:59 | eythian: tsk | |
| 11:59 | eythian | this weekend |
| 12:01 | drojf | cait: the early flight is not really a better option i think. but paying the night without any time in the evening is annoying |
| 12:02 | so we have to party that evening! | |
| 12:02 | nengard joined #koha | |
| 12:02 | cait | we can still go out and party ;) |
| 12:02 | hehe | |
| 12:02 | drojf | :D |
| 12:02 | cait | well we will start the party at the airport |
| 12:02 | and hope everything works out there | |
| 12:02 | please ask me if i checked in online... | |
| 12:02 | i hope i don't forget that | |
| 12:03 | and not now.... in Berlin ;) | |
| 12:03 | drojf | i was just starting to type that |
| 12:05 | cait | mabe they will change times again... there is still time for that |
| 12:09 | kidclamp joined #koha | |
| 12:10 | drojf | but now we made party plans! |
| 12:14 | Joubu: true, the files gets deleted by the build process. don't know where, but at least i know why now, thanks | |

| 12:49 | cait | eythian: the sorting is right - but it's all the same as far as i can tell - same year |
| 12:49 | and then it falls back to biblionumber... but one catalog does asc and the other desc :( | |
| 12:51 | eythian | are you sure it's falling back, and not doing database order (which is to say, undefined) |
| 12:53 | tcohen joined #koha | |
| 12:53 | oleonard | Hi #koha |
| 12:54 | tcohen | hi oleonard #koha |
| 12:55 | morning Joubuy | |
| 12:55 | morning Joubu | |
| 12:57 | cait | eythian: the bilbionumbers appear nicely sorted |
| 12:57 | eythian: but biblionumbers are database order.... | |
| 12:57 | oleonard | Only Joubu's special friends get to call him Joubuy |
| 12:57 | eythian | cait: only if you're lucky, it's not a promis |
| 12:57 | e | |
| 12:57 | cait | hmmm |
| 12:58 | how could i check that? | |
| 12:58 | is the order in mysql workbench the one it should be in? without sort? | |
| 12:58 | well without any order by | |
| 12:58 | eythian | maybe, probably |
| 12:58 | cait | eythian: i will check that |
| 12:58 | thx! | |
| 12:58 | eythian | though, is this a search through zebra? because that could be different again. |
| 12:58 | cait | yeah zebrea |
| 12:59 | eythian | but, rule of thumb is that unless you're asking for an ordering with anything, there's no promised ordering. |
| 12:59 | cait | the searches i compare are both searches for rcn with an identifier - so pretty similar |
| 13:00 | eythian: it just appears strange that the sorting seems so perfect... just the other way around | |
| 13:00 | i'd expect it to be not sorted etc.... but that seems odd | |
| 13:00 | eythian | yeah, that would be surprising |
| 13:01 | cait | the instances run on the same server and koha code... so I thought it was configuration,b ut comparig prefs... it looks identical so far |
| 13:02 | identical zebra config files too | |
| 13:03 | all search prefs identical | |
| 13:03 | *sigh* | |
| 13:06 | tcohen | oleonard: poor-typing-skilled friends you mean |
| 13:08 | eythian | cait: log zebra queries and see what it's doing there. |
| 13:11 | JoshB joined #koha | |
| 13:15 | cait | eythian: not really an option right now |
| 13:15 | i will think some more about it - thx for the help | |

| 15:12 | huginn | tcohen: The operation succeeded. |
| 15:13 | tcohen | problem with that oleonard is that it requires black magic |

| 15:14 | oleonard | Hm. I am reluctant to sacrifice a goat for a bug fix tcohen |
| 15:14 | tcohen | oleonard: what about 'for the ability to understand whats going on under the hood'? |

| 15:31 | tcohen | oleonard: you need a clean DB |
| 15:31 | (no tables) | |
| 15:31 | say > CREATE DATABASE dbic; | |
| 15:32 | then you do | |
| 15:32 | mysql dbic < installer/data/mysql/kohastructure.sql | |
| 15:32 | and finally | |
| 15:32 | perl misc/devel/update_dbix_class_files.pl --db_name dbic | |
| 15:33 | if your user needs a password for the DB | |
| 15:33 | misc/devel/update_dbix_class_files.pl --help will tell you the params | |
| 15:33 | ah, run it on your top-level koha source tree | |
| 15:34 | oleonard | top-level koha source tree? |
| 15:35 | tcohen | git clone .../koha.git kohaclone ; cd kohaclone |
| 15:35 | ? | |
| 15:38 | oleonard | Thanks tcohen |
| 15:39 | Joubu | the script does not take db_user and db_passwd as parameter, you will have to manually edit the file |
| 15:40 | oleonard | It says it does |
| 15:40 | Joubu | ha yes, indeed |
| 15:42 | I have tried to make it use KOHA_CONF automatically some weeks ago | |
| 15:42 | but found that it was the original behavior and it was considered as a bug | |
| 15:44 | pianohacker | ? |
| 15:44 | why? | |
| 15:45 | Joubu | pianohacker: e0b0ae20531736ede2cd1113baf16323cb69b3d9 |
| 15:45 | The purpose of this is to intentionally put up a roadblock to reduce | |
| 15:45 | the chance that a developer (or release manager) accidentally updates | |
| 15:45 | the schema files to include local testing cruft such as temporary | |
| 15:45 | tables. | |
| 15:45 | pianohacker | ... |
| 15:45 | this feels like one of those unnecessarily high speedbumps | |

| 16:02 | bag | morning |
| 16:02 | talljoy1 ^^^^ | |
| 16:03 | ianb_ | Hi. forgive me if slow: I've not used irc for years |
| 16:03 | talljoy | i'm here. |
| 16:03 | wasn't expecting you so soon ianb_ i understand it is close to 'clocking out' time! | |
| 16:03 | you must be in england. | |
| 16:03 | no worries. | |
| 16:04 | ianb_ | Not only clocking out time but got to find cat and dog and take to the vet soon :-( |
| 16:05 | Arte | |
| 16:05 | ...Are you the right person to know the setup on that system for matching authorities for import/overlay? | |
| 16:06 | talljoy | i'll be reviewing the set up over the weekend (i'm on weekend duty) and i'll have a better sense of the setup/issues/config/etc next week if you want to ping me |
| 16:06 | and i am the person you are looking for! | |
| 16:07 | drojf | Joubu++ |
| 16:08 | ianb_ | great. Thank you for this. I looked quite deeply into it on our system a month or two back but didn't crack it at the time. We thought we had tried most things. Have a good weekend and look forward to chatting next week. |
| 16:14 | beatsforthemind | What would be the Zebra SRU equivalent of doing a ‘Search the catalog’ search? |

| 16:18 | beatsforthemind | Doing a Zebra ’searchRetrieve’ with a single ‘query’ term returns different results (or at least in a different order) than doing a ‘Search the catalog’ search with the same term. |

| 16:53 | @wunder berlin, germany | |
| 16:53 | huginn | drojf: The current temperature in Berlin Tegel, Germany is 12.0°C (6:50 PM CEST on April 15, 2016). Conditions: Thunderstorm. Humidity: 88%. Dew Point: 10.0°C. Pressure: 29.59 in 1002 hPa (Steady). |
| 16:54 | drojf | so much for shopping |
| 17:03 | pianohacker | beatsforthemind: the query sent off to Zebra by Koha is actually rather complex, with a lot of extra stuff to do relevance ranking and (if desired) fuzzy searching, query stemming, etc |
| 17:04 | beatsforthemind | I would love to be able to recreate the default ‘Search the catalog’ Zebra query |
| 17:04 | pianohacker | beatsforthemind: you comfortable with Perl? |
| 17:05 | beatsforthemind | I’m decent with PHP, haven’t done much with Perl |
| 17:05 | I’ve been looking at opac-search.pl | |
| 17:06 | pianohacker | beatsforthemind: Search.pm is where you'll want to look |
| 17:06 | specifically parseQuery | |
| 17:06 | drojf | "want" |
| 17:06 | good luck | |
| 17:06 | throw breadcrumbs to find your way out again | |
| 17:06 | beatsforthemind | Where can I find that file? |
| 17:07 | drojf | do you have access to the server? |
| 17:07 | beatsforthemind | I do |
| 17:08 | drojf | rain stopped, gotta go. later #koha |

| 17:16 | pianohacker | beatsforthemind: where on your server is opac-search.pl? |
| 17:17 | beatsforthemind | /usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac |
| 17:17 | pianohacker | beatsforthemind: Search.pm should be in /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/ , then |
| 17:19 | beatsforthemind | thanks |
| 17:19 | I am looking through it | |

| 17:30 | beatsforthemind | This is a fairly complicated file |
| 17:31 | eythian | http://nedroid.com/2016/04/mr-fix-computer-2/ <-- teehee |
| 17:39 | beatsforthemind | It would be nice if there were more examples of how to use @attr |
| 17:39 | or that query type | |
| 17:39 | x-pquery? | |
| 17:46 | Is there anyway to log the exact query that is being built? | |
| 17:49 | oleonard | eythian: I find that comic to be completely unrealistic. |
| 17:49 | The printer works?! | |
| 17:59 | ericar joined #koha | |
| 18:01 | oleonard | beatsforthemind: I'm sorry you're having such bad luck getting answers. I wish I knew what to suggest. |
| 18:02 | Also, saying "This is a fairly complicated file" about Search.pm is quite the understatement. | |
| 18:02 | beatsforthemind | It’s ok, this chatroom has been helpful |
| 18:02 | oleonard | Many a Koha developer has wished for Search.pm's death. |

| 19:43 | beatsforthemind | Is there anyway to use Search.pm to return results outside of Koha? |
| 19:53 | cait | beatsforthemind: what's your goal? |
| 19:53 | i mean, what are you trying to do? | |
| 19:54 | beatsforthemind | Looking to more less replicate the ‘Search the catalog’ search through a URL query of the Zebra SRU. |
| 19:56 | So building a URL alonf the lines of http://myserver.com:9999/bibli[…]ordSchema=marcxml | |
| 19:56 | cait | hm yeah, but waht for? |
| 19:56 | i mean, what do you want to use it for? | |
| 19:56 | maybe we could suggest something if we have a better idea about your project | |
| 19:57 | barton | beatsforthemind: I think that I would be leaning toward elasticsearch. |
| 19:57 | beatsforthemind | A client (non-profit enviromental org) is looking to query their Koha database and use the records on another website (WordPress). |
| 19:58 | They want to get the results of a kw,wrdl search and place them on a different site. | |
| 20:00 | Using Zebra I was parsing the MARCXML response with this -> https://github.com/scriptotek/php-marc | |
| 20:01 | They also want to be able to return records by tag, I’ve figured this out. | |
| 20:02 | cait | hm |
| 20:02 | yeah sru should be right then | |
| 20:02 | beatsforthemind | But, they also want to do a general search on records that have a specific tag |
| 20:02 | cait | but maybe it's not so bad if you don#t get a perfect replicate |
| 20:03 | as someone pointed out earlier, there is some logic in search.pm that you probably can't replicate with sru - but might not have to | |
| 20:04 | beatsforthemind | I guess my skills as a developer might not be were they need to be for me to replicate what is going on there. |
| 20:07 | Does elastic search implement another server tech like Lucene or Solr? | |
| 20:08 | drojf | ES uses lucene. like solr does |
| 20:08 | i think | |
| 20:10 | pianohacker_DND | yup |
| 20:13 | drojf | i used a public report in koha for a webapp once. that gave me JSON of my query result to use in the webapp. maybe that is an option here too |
| 20:15 | beatsforthemind | How do you generate this JSON? |
| 20:16 | barton | beatsforthemind: if you make the report public, it's available as a web service. I forget how the url is constructed off hand. |
| 20:17 | cait | drojf: depending on the size of the db it might be a bit slow |
| 20:17 | barton | or depengng on the query ;-) |
| 20:17 | cait | but it could work... but works direclty on the mysql database then |
| 20:20 | drojf | http://opac.abunchofthings.net[…]a/svc/report?id=1 |
| 20:20 | barton | drojf++ |
| 20:22 | drojf | yes it uses sql queries. so it's not going to be a copy of the zebra search |
| 20:22 | beatsforthemind | This might work |
| 20:25 | drojf | it's probably easier to work with than zebra ;) |
| 20:28 | ccordova joined #koha | |
| 20:30 | beatsforthemind | It sort of gives me what I’m looking for. It doesn’t replicate a general search and the flat json might be little hard to work with. |
| 20:31 | The repo I linked for parsing marcxml works pretty great | |
| 20:32 | drojf | you can make the sql query output whatever you need. inclusing the marcxml blob |
| 20:32 | *including | |
| 20:34 | beatsforthemind | At that point query the database directly might be a decent option as well. |
| 20:34 | querying* | |
| 20:49 | Actually, is the MARC data for records that Zebra is indexing stored in the database? | |
| 20:50 | cait | biblioitems.marcxml |
| 20:53 | beatsforthemind | ah, thanks |

| 22:44 | DooRooK | Hey Koha IRC. |
| 22:44 | Has anyone already tried to install the CoverFlow plugin ? | |
| 22:45 | kidclamp | Many times DooRooL |
| 22:45 | Many times DooRooK | |
| 22:45 | DooRooK | I'm having issue trying to make it works |
| 22:45 | kidclamp | Where are you having problems? |
| 22:46 | DooRooK | i'm following this tutorial : http://bywatersolutions.com/20[…]coverflow-plugin/ |
| 22:46 | kidclamp | so you have plugin installed as per directions here: https://github.com/bywatersolu[…]-plugin-coverflow |
| 22:46 | ? | |
| 22:47 | DooRooK | it seems that the files where the plugin should be installed are not there. /var/lib/koha/mylib/plugin remain empty |
| 22:47 | and nothing appear in my OPAC | |
| 22:47 | kidclamp | Are the permissions for the directory set right? |
| 22:48 | DooRooK | hmmm, haven't checked, the directory was made by koha |
| 22:48 | kidclamp | Try the github directions |
| 22:48 | make sure that apache can access and write the pluginsdir | |
| 22:48 | if on jessie you need to add | |
| 22:48 | the stanza mentioned in github instructions | |
| 22:49 | and I am leaving for the weekend, but email the listserv or find me on monday | |
| 22:49 | if you still have issues | |
| 22:49 | good luck DooRooK | |
| 22:52 | edveal joined #koha | |
| 23:05 | DooRooK | Well, I still have no clues, the permission are set, the report is made, plugin seems to be installed (Can see it made the opacuserjs) and the alias are also set in the apache2 file my library |
