09:47 gveranis hi #koha
10:37 AndrewIsh tcohen:  Hey, quick question. I've been seeing a problem where an API response has been returning 0 when in fact the value in the DB is NULL. I've traced it down to this line: https://github.com/PTFS-Europe[…]ha/Object.pm#L249 which I notice you were involved in
10:38 It looks like this line casts the value to an integer regardless of whether it is populated or not, is that by design?

12:34 oleonard Anyone know where illrequests.orderid comes from? For the purposes of the Dummy backend setup is it relevant?
12:37 AndrewIsh or ashimema?
12:39 * ashimema just sat down for lunch
12:39 oleonard dobrou chuť
12:39 ashimema erm.. not sure on that one..
12:40 * ashimema just learnt a new word/phrase :)
12:40 oleonard Czech version of bon appétit
12:40 ashimema hehe :)
12:40 josef_moravec ;)
12:42 magnuse oleonard: i would guess illrequests.orderid is where you store the id if you get one from an outside source
12:42 * LeeJ waves to everyone
12:42 oleonard That was my guess too. I'm trying to build a set of ILL sample data for testing and I'm getting errors. I'm assuming it's my data, but...
12:43 ashimema that sounds right to me magnuse
12:43 kmlussier joined #koha
12:43 * ashimema is just reading the code in the bldss backend to see where it's used
12:45 wonders if AndrewIsh or I actually kept the Dummy backend up to date enough.. I know Iwas concentrating on BLDSS, FreeForm and Koha backends
12:45 magnuse Koha backend?
12:45 ashimema in the FreeForm backend the orderid ends up matching the illrequest_id
12:45 BLDSS is matches the BLDSS remote request ID
12:46 magnuse would be nice if someone added comments to the ill* tables http://schema.koha-community.o[…]/illrequests.html
12:46 ashimema Koha it matches the remote koha's biblionumber
12:46 magnuse is there a backend for koha-to-koha ill?
12:47 ashimema the koha backend is yet to be released wip
12:47 i need to rip out some hard coded config
12:47 then release it
12:47 magnuse excellent!
12:48 it is listed on https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/ILL_backends but the link is 404
12:48 ashimema mmm.. cause it's a private repo still.. the ripping out of some hard coded config has taken me longer than I hoped
12:49 * magnuse adds the "latest changes" page of the wiki to his daily morning routine again
12:49 ashimema uses SRU/Z3950 to search partner Koha libraries then ILS-DI to place holds at partner libraries
12:49 hehe
12:49 magnuse rip out all the things!
12:49 ashimema what are you testing oleonard?
12:50 oleonard ashimema: I wanted to test Bug 20600 with a good amount of data
12:50 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=20600 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, andrew.isherwood, Needs Signoff , Provide the ability for users to filter ILL requests
12:50 gveranis joined #koha
12:50 ashimema cool...
12:51 that's one of AndrewIsh's.. I'll get him to give you a hand getting something going when he returns from lunch :)
12:53 AndrewIsh Hi oleonard - what do you need help with?
12:54 oleonard Hi AndrewIsh, I'm trying to build a set of ILL request sample data for use in testing and my first try ended in error 500. I'm just trying to make sure I'm not missing a relationship between illrequests and illrequestattributes besides the illrequest_id
12:55 AndrewIsh oleonard:  Are you using the Dummy backend? If so, you might have more luck with the FreeForm backend, the Dummy one has fallen somewhat behind. It was originally intended to be a reference implementation, but the FreeForm one has more or less taken over that role
12:56 oleonard Does it matter when it comes to simply loading random request data into the ill tables?
12:57 LeeJ while we're on the topic, someone care to enlighten me how the ILL module is used/hookable? I might try to get our state consortium to help configure an API endpoint on their end for Koha..
12:57 AndrewIsh Suprisingly, yes, we've build stuff into the backends that is backend specific, but still required, there's a good chance Dummy does have that.
12:57 oleonard AndrewIsh: Is the testing process any different when using the FreeForm backend?
12:58 AndrewIsh oleonard:  No, it's identical
12:58 oleonard:  BTW, in my second to last message s/does/doesn't/
12:59 oleonard Thanks AndrewIsh I'll take another stab at it
13:00 ashimema LeeJ.. Ill basically allows you to write your own 'backend' to talk to other systems.. currently there's a FreeForm (just fill the tables using plaintext forms), BLDSS (british library api service) and an in progress Koha backend in the wild.. along with an NCIPP one magnuse knows more about
13:00 AndrewIsh oleonard:  OK, shout if you have problems. Thanks very much for looking at this, much appreciated
13:00 ashimema writing the backend at the Koha end is hopefully not too difficult once you've looked at a few examples
13:01 LeeJ thanks for the overview ashimema :)
13:01 ashimema: this is why I was asking https://relais.atlassian.net/w[…]lais+web+services
13:01 ashimema eventually I'd like backends to sit inside the plugins framework.. but alas that's not there yet.
13:02 magnuse known backends are listed here: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/ILL_backends
13:02 ashimema looking at the headings there those look like all the calls you'll need :)
13:02 LeeJ our state is a consortium member and now quite few member libraries are joining the Koha family within the consortium so I'm thinking it might not be too difficult of a task to create a Relais backend..
13:02 ashimema basically.. search for an item.. request the item.. status updates of a request might be nice too.. I might just be missing seeing those
13:03 LeeJ ashimema magnuse any advice on where I can look to learn how to write a backend? Any particular .pl files? :)
13:04 oleonard Bug 7317 suggests you might look at https://github.com/a-sassmannshausen/ (Dummy,FreeForm,BLDSS)
13:04 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=7317 new feature, P5 - low, ---, alex.sassmannshausen, Pushed to Master , Add an Interlibrary Loan Module to Circulation and OPAC
13:04 magnuse i would look at the existing backends
13:05 oleonard AndrewIsh: When I try to manually add a request using the FreeForm backend I get this error:
13:05 DBIx::Class::Row::store_column(): No such column 'readonly' on Koha::Schema::Result::Illrequestattribute at /home/vagrant/kohaclone/Koha/Object.pm line 74
13:06 LeeJ magnuse: where are the backends stored in the filesystem?
13:06 magnuse under Koha/Illbackends
13:06 ashimema https://github.com/PTFS-Europe/FreeForm is probably the easiest to follow at this point LeeJ.. it doesn't communicate out with anything so should be fairly succinct.
13:06 magnuse it's a bit hacky...
13:06 ashimema Base.pm is the main module with all the functionality.. then you can add you're own workflows and templates to go with that
13:06 oleonard ashimema: Is that FreeForm repo more up to date than Alex's?
13:07 AndrewIsh oleonard:  That's.....interesting. That's a column that's added in a different bug, arghhh, crud, has something got in that shouldn't. One moment....
13:07 LeeJ thanks ashimema :)
13:07 ashimema yes.. Alex's got migrated to PTFS when he left us.. he still works on it but pushes to our repo now
13:08 AndrewIsh oleonard:  Oh, I know what this is!
13:08 caroline joined #koha
13:08 AndrewIsh oleonard:  Sorry, my mistake, I should have told you to use this tag on the FreeForm repo: https://github.com/PTFS-Europe[…]eeForm/tree/17.11
13:08 LeeJ magnuse: I did not see a Koha/Illbackends in the koha github :P
13:09 ashimema it's only added when you add a backend LeeJ ;)
13:09 LeeJ ahhhh
13:09 oleonard LeeJ: Please read the test plan on Bug 7317
13:09 LeeJ that would be a good reason :)
13:09 magnuse or, you have to add it to add a backend
13:09 ashimema hense my link
13:09 * ashimema must get around to fully documenting Ill for the manual
13:09 ashimema that would really help with conversations like this.
13:09 LeeJ haven't had my caffeine yet
13:10 * LeeJ agrees with ashimema ;)
13:10 ashimema hehe
13:11 AndrewIsh Agreed ashimema - then things like oleonard not knowing which repo tag to use and me forgetting it even existed wouldn't happen ;-)
13:11 LeeJ oleonard: to be fair, there's so much going on in that ILL bug it's hard to identify what to read from lol
13:12 oleonard Agreed LeeJ
13:12 * LeeJ thinks he might build an ILL backend for the Pennsylvania ILL consortium
13:13 AndrewIsh The more the merrier LeeJ !
13:13 LeeJ just have to get access permissions from the company to test the connection when it's ready
13:14 ashimema: so am I understanding it correctly that the FreeForm github you linked to could be considered the "boilerplate" for ILL backends?

16:11 Joubu oleonard: 20641 and 19709 conflict with each other and are both waiting for QA. Could you rebase one on top of the other?
16:13 oleonard Yes
16:21 Joubu oleonard: about bug 20779, we need an other version to signoff then?
16:21 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=20779 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, oleonard, Signed Off , Style refresh for patron detail page
16:22 oleonard Yes. I changed to "assigned."
16:23 Joubu thanks
16:27 eythian lavamind: historical reasons allowing transition, mostly
16:27 my old one seems to have expired. I should probably renew that.
16:27 (not for the koha key though, drojf probably should clean that to whatever has been used for the past six months or so.)
16:28 Joubu lavamind: drojf is Mirko, I sent you his email address ;)
16:28 eythian @later tell drojf the Koha packages GPG keyring ought to be cleaned out to only what is actually used these days.
16:28 huginn eythian: The operation succeeded.
16:29 eythian I also see that after me carefully creating a key and distributing it properly to appropriate people, everyone lost it and they had to make a new one :)
16:31 lavamind eythian: thanks for looking into that
16:31 I also sent Mirko an email about it earlier
16:31 eythian ah right
16:32 lavamind for the latest release, you only need 0x3EA44636DBCE457DA2CF8D823C9356BBA2E41F10
16:32 probably the other ones can be stripped out
16:32 * LeeJ never understood/took the time to learn about GPG keyrings
16:32 eythian oh, that's the one I made years back. Looks like someone did find it again in the end.
16:33 lavamind unfortunately many people will keep these extra keys in their apt keyring indefinately
16:33 (which is one reason not to distribute useless/unneeded keys)
16:34 LeeJ: I used Enigmail most of the time, it takes some of the pain away :P
16:34 if you want to get started you should have a look at https://riseup.net/en/security[…]gp/best-practices
16:40 LeeJ thanks lavamind!

16:49 Joubu only #
16:49 LeeJ that's what I thought
16:49 Joubu vertical selection is your friend
16:49 LeeJ think I discovered a syntax coloring bug in Sublime
16:50 it highlights /* */ as a valid comment...just wanted to make sure I wasn't seeing things

16:51 ashimema you can fudge multiline comments using pod: https://stackoverflow.com/ques[…]gn=google_rich_qa
16:51 * LeeJ shrugs
16:51 ashimema but it's not exactly encouraged ;)

17:29 cait says package installation but no rewrite rules... are we supposed to update manually always?
17:30 Joubu when you update, apt asks you what to do with config files (keep yours, take new ones, see a diff, etc.)
17:30 I guess they picked the wrong choice
17:34 cait ah
17:34 what would you recommend? diff?

19:11 caroline I need interpretation help
19:11 I'm filling out an RFP for a ministry and they have the following requirement:
19:12 The system must be able to create templates for new records with mandatory and option fields, including user/subject guides and FAQ and announcement pages
19:12 To me it looks like two different requirements in one (MARC Framework and CMS capabilities)
19:13 * LeeJ waves to caroline
19:13 LeeJ caroline: let's see..
19:13 oleonard That's my interpretation too caroline
19:13 caroline Am I reading this wrong? It doesn't seem connected at all
19:13 Hi LeeJ!
19:13 LeeJ caroline: the "user/subject guides and FAQ..." throws me off a bit
19:13 oleonard caroline: I don't know if this still works, but... https://wiki.koha-community.or[…]iki/Koha_as_a_CMS
19:14 caroline Thank, oleonard
19:14 LeeJ oleonard: from what I've seen on the activity in the Facebook Koha groups it seems to be used frequently
19:15 caroline It just seems so weird that they would put these two things in one requirement
19:15 LeeJ indradg or mtompset would probably have a better idea since they deal with questions there more
19:15 caroline: it appears it wasn't written by developers then ;)
19:15 caroline LeeJ: Not librarians either! ;)
19:16 Must be some government employee who has no idea how a library works
19:16 LeeJ caroline: HAHAHAHAHA
19:16 caroline: if it's anything like here, then that defines all of them :)
19:17 oleonard caroline: Based on what I've heard you're actually underestimating the craziness of library RFPs
19:17 LeeJ oleonard: our library director has been involved in quite a few RFPs and he can confirm the craziness lol
19:19 caroline I'm wondering if the "templates for new records" are referring to templates for CMS pages
19:25 LeeJ caroline: I wish they hadn't picked "records" as their word of choice since it has multiple meanings :)

21:15 lavamind I'm considering writing a Koha Puppet module, I need one for my own purposes but perhaps it may be of use to others?
21:16 specifically targetted at Debian-package installations
21:17 rangi we'd definitely take a look at that lavamind
21:17 lavamind I've been using an in-house one up until Puppet 4 but now am rewriting my Puppet manifests anyway
21:17 so I'd just need to make it a bit more generic
21:18 rangi: OK, I'll keep you posted
21:21 cait1 joined #koha
21:26 rangi wizzyrea: i use patreon, but thats only good for monthly things
21:26 https://ko-fi.com/ might be good
21:26 wizzyrea hm that seems promising
21:26 rangi because you can set linode to take bill from paypal
21:26 and ko-fi can pay into paypal
21:26 wizzyrea yes good
21:27 rangi (thats how i do it with patreon currently for the bugs.koha-community.org server)
21:27 but i like the one offness of ko-fi better i think
21:28 wizzyrea *nod*
21:29 rangi if you get it set up, ill make sure to add it to my talk for kohacon too ;)

22:43 wizzyrea: it's a little bad it's mandatory, some only put in a standard default value i think
