13:10 | ashimema | woopie.. ptfs sandboxes are finally working again |
13:11 | andreashm | great! |
13:11 | * ashimema | does one last test before amending the maintanence notice on the community wiki |
13:14 | kohaputti | would having a search endpoint in the REST api make any sense? |
13:15 | you could search with keyword, field, whatever and would get back json of biblionumbers where the search matched | |
13:15 | kmlussier joined #koha | |
13:16 | kohaputti | And I know there is SRU already, but it doesn't work with elasticsearch |
13:18 | ashimema | can you not just open the ES search endpoints to the public? |
13:19 | kohaputti | ashimema, I don't know if it is good idea security wise |
13:22 | also the elasticsearch query language is different from what koha users use. | |
13:24 | eythian | exposing ES to the public is a bad idea, e.g. hidden items, and people perhaps putting other things in ES alongside the biblio data. |
13:24 | ashimema | fair enough |
13:24 | dj joined #koha | |
13:24 | irma joined #koha | |
13:24 | ashimema | so what exactly would be be suggesting with a search endpoint |
13:25 | kohaputti | ashimema, I would like to have the same results as a patron would get when searching in OPAC |
13:26 | ashimema | SRU is well defined, well known and supported and has a solid search syntax worked out.. I'd advocate working on a SRU module that used the ES backend |
13:26 | kohaputti | that way I could build a separate client software for koha, search, login, reservations,... |
13:26 | tcohen | morning |
13:26 | ashimema | but I'm not keen to impliment yet another home grown api for it personally |
13:26 | kohaputti | ashimema, SRU that uses ES as backend sounds nice |
13:26 | BobB joined #koha | |
13:26 | ashimema | is there not a plan for doing that in the long term ES plan somewhere? |
13:27 | all it needs is for someone to work on it ;) | |
13:31 | kohaputti | ashimema, I have not seen on wiki, should we write it down somewhere over there? (suggestions on which page are welcome) |
13:32 | ashimema | I must have just heard it in passing somewhere.. kidclamp may know if theres more of a plan or anything to do it |
13:32 | or if anyone else has expressed interest yet and may work with you on it? | |
13:33 | kidclamp | yeah, we need some sort of filter to allow ES from the outside - it provides no security if you just open it (all records deleted!!!!) I don't know of any SRU plans or search endpoint, but both are good options to me |
13:36 | Nemo_bis | ES needs some precautions to avoid privilege escalation |
13:36 | kohaputti | so somebody has to built it, and it doesn't even have to be Koha related if I'm thinking this right (but then it would mean having a standard way of doing mapping for elasticsearch). |
13:37 | Nemo_bis, you could probably have read-only replication node for elasticsearch that could be used as public endpoint | |
13:42 | caroline joined #koha | |

13:50 | There is steam rising off of #koha from all the working. | |
13:56 | magnuse | there was also talk about using es for searching patrons, i think |
14:00 | oleonard | There was such talk. |

14:33 | oleonard | I can't figure out how to make something "available" for recall. |
14:34 | magnuse | there is no (easy) way to get rid of automatic left truncation for patron searches, right? (except for when you go to patrons and click on the [+]) |
14:34 | * ashimema | wonders why you'd want to get right of left truncation... |
14:35 | Joubu | magnuse: use * |
14:37 | magnuse | ashimema: because when you are looking for Öberg you don't want all the people called Sjöberg? |
14:37 | ashimema | Oh.. I see |
14:38 | magnuse | Joubu: how should i use * to not truncate? |
14:40 | ashimema | I think my brain thought of truncation meaning something different there |
14:41 | I would say 'Öberg' should match 'Öberg', 'Öberg' would match 'Sjöberg' and 'Öberg' would match 'Öbergly' | |
14:42 | magnuse | ashimema: missing something in the last sentence? |
14:42 | ashimema | i bet that's just me getting technical terms confused though right |
14:43 | your right.. | |
14:43 | and 'Öberg' should read 'Öberg*' | |
14:43 | but I presume from your correcting me you understood what I was getting at | |
14:44 | magnuse | huh, is there something special about the ö? |
14:44 | ashimema | I suppose it's 'phrase', 'word' or 'part of word' matching I'm thinking |
14:44 | pass | |
14:44 | I was surprised you said searching 'Öberg' would match 'Sjöberg' | |
14:44 | I wouldn't have expected it to.. | |
14:45 | cait | i thin left truncation was needed for double names |
14:45 | magnuse | "öberg" gives me sjöberg, but "fjord" does not give me alefjord? |
14:45 | mirkh joined #koha | |
14:45 | cait | and maybe spanish names too? |
14:45 | ashimema | i'd have expected you to need to search '*Öberg' for it to end up including 'Sjöberg' in the results |
14:45 | Joubu | sorry, read the reverse, I missed "get rid of" :) |
14:46 | magnuse | ah |
14:46 | cait: have you seen this with german names? for ö or ä? | |
14:47 | i have set the collation for borrowers.surname to utf8_swedish_ci btw | |
14:58 | forget that, now searching for "fjord" gives me "alefjord" | |
14:59 | * magnuse | is confused |
15:00 | cait | we had no complaines |
15:00 | complains | |
15:00 | complaints? | |
15:01 | tcohen | hola magnuse y cait |

15:38 | :-P | |
15:39 | oleonard | tcohen: kohadevbox already installs node and npm, but now it needs yarn too |

15:39 | oleonard | ashimema: I'd be happy to help |
15:40 | tcohen: LESS is gone now, so that alias and associated dependencies can go | |
15:40 | ashimema | hehe.. hopefully there won't be many that touch them.. but I will come knocking at your door should it not be obvious ;) |

16:26 | caroline | Other than prohibiting holds in the OPAC and controling each hold in the intranet to make sure there isn't another hold on it |
16:26 | It can be labor intensive, but if there aren't that many holds, it could work | |

17:11 | Shane-S | okay can't hurt to restart, so I will try that and see. |
17:11 | cait | ok |
17:11 | keeping fingers crossed | |
17:11 | if oyu haven't yet.. always also restart plack and memcache on updates, to be sure | |
17:11 | Shane-S | I am doing full server reboot |

17:13 | kidclamp | bunch a slackers |
17:13 | khall | hi cait! tomas just let me know I've been missing from IRC ;) |
17:13 | cait | you have been |
17:13 | khall | my bad |
17:14 | cait | glad to have you back :) |
17:18 | Shane-S | *sigh* Internal Server Error...was hoping upgrade would fix this...I can find a log entry for it anywhere... |
17:19 | Whenever I try and adjust a patron card size... ibstaff.npelem.com/cgi-bin/koha/patroncards/edit-template.pl | |
17:19 | cait | did you update to the latest 18.05? |
17:20 | Shane-S | I am just trying to adjust a card template's margin and it just saying Internal Error, yeah 18.05.02 now |
17:20 | cait | ah labels |
17:20 | Shane-S | was doing it on 17.05 |
17:20 | cait | internal server errors go into the plack-error-log |
17:20 | Shane-S | ah I was looking in apache's |
17:20 | cait | we've had some problems with a borked printer profile |

17:48 | best I can find is a 404.pl in the plack.log | |
17:52 | cait | are you looking at th eplack log? |
17:53 | plack-error-log i mean? | |
17:53 | there are no html error codes, perl errors | |
17:53 | look at it with tail and then trigger the error in the gui | |
17:54 | @later tell could you maybe take a look at my patch on bug 20504? | |
17:54 | huginn | cait: The operation succeeded. |
17:55 | oleonard | cait: Did you just tell huginn to give that message to someone named "could" ? |
18:05 | tcohen | Shane-S: are you running plack? |
18:13 | cait | oleonard: i guess so... |
18:13 | thx for telling me :) | |
18:13 | @later tell Joubu could you maybe take a look at my patch on bug 20504? | |
18:13 | huginn | cait: The operation succeeded. |
18:14 | could | Hello I'm could how do you do? |
18:14 | cait | :P |

19:17 | caroline | What would you guys suggest for an organization that needs to have authorities for publishers? Add CORPO_NAME contraint to 264$b or put the publisher in 710$a? I'm afraid if it's in 710 it will get mixed up with secondary authors |
19:18 | Or maybe create a 790 field that would be used just for publishers? | |
19:18 | tcohen | 710 + $ePublisher? |
19:18 | caroline | Would that be searchable though? |
19:19 | there is a publisher index I think | |
19:27 | tcohen | caroline: making it searchable using the Publisher index would require touching some files |
19:27 | gimme a sec | |
19:27 | the Publisher index gets filled with 260$b | |
19:28 | caroline | That's why I'm wondering if it would just be easier for everybody to add an authority constraint to 264$b (my Publisher index is mapped to 260$b and 264$b) |
19:29 | Would there be downsides to that? | |
19:31 | (they are not librarians, just a small not for profit, and I told them the library police is not going to arrest them if they don't catalog *exactly* the way librarian do it :P) | |
19:32 | cait | i think 264 would mak esense |
19:32 | but don' tknow if you will get the right display, the xslt doesn't expect authorities htere | |
19:33 | probably onl ygenerates a link on the text | |
19:33 | caroline | ok, I guess I can ask my team to tweak the xslt as if it was an authority |
19:34 | kathryn joined #koha | |
19:40 | lukeG joined #koha | |
19:52 | caroline | cait: do you think C4/Heading/MARC21.pm would hinder my efforts since 264 is not in there? |
19:53 | cait | it might only be used when importing |
19:54 | hm | |
19:54 | let's se | |
19:54 | e | |
19:56 | i am not sure | |
19:57 | seems to be used for the linker | |
19:57 | the autmatic one | |
20:00 | caroline | I don't see why we would have the possibility to choose a thesaurus in marc frameworks if it's not possible to use authorities elsewhere other than in 1XX, 6XX, 7XX and 8XX |
20:01 | And also why we could create new authority types if they are hardcoded | |
20:01 | kmlussier joined #koha | |
20:05 | cait | yeah i think it was definitely thought to allow it |
20:05 | we might have 'broken' it a little, that I can't outrule | |
20:10 | * caroline | is definitely NOT being chased by the library police for misusing authority records |
20:14 | cait | hehe |

21:04 | Joubu | cait: did you find where $lang from preferences.pl was passed to the template? |
21:04 | cait | hm? |
21:04 | i deleted the line wher eit was passed | |
21:04 | i didn't see it in the template | |
21:05 | Joubu | -$lang = $template->param( 'lang' ); |
21:05 | this one? | |
21:05 | cait | yeah |
21:05 | that's what i spotted first an dnoticed it fixed the html tag | |
21:05 | because we have a global one called lang | |
21:05 | Joubu | it's not passed, it's set from the url params |
21:06 | cait | it's a bit confusing to figure this out... the one in preferences.pl appeared to never be initialized? |
21:06 | and it showed as empty in the templates | |
21:06 | systempreferences.pl does set it | |
21:06 | i think | |
21:09 | Joubu | whaou |
21:09 | that's terribly buggy | |
21:09 | cait | that bad? |
21:09 | Joubu | I do not think so |
21:10 | actually: | |
21:10 | cait | i got quite confused... that's why i wondered if you could take a look :) |
21:10 | Joubu | $lang = $template->param( 'lang' ); |
21:10 | should be: $lang = $input->param( 'lang' ); | |
21:10 | I guess | |
21:10 | cait | ah |
21:10 | an dthen it would actually be set right | |
21:10 | ? | |
21:11 | should i try? | |
21:11 | Joubu | if you replace template with input it works |
21:11 | cait | hah |
21:11 | i will do a new patch in a bit | |
21:11 | just working on something else first that's almost finished | |
21:11 | Joubu | but all that code dealing with the language in admin/*pref*.pl seems useless |
21:11 | cait | it is a bit odd |
21:12 | i think part of the code pulls the right pref files? | |
21:12 | as we use yaml there... not the usual way | |
21:12 | and another mayybe to build the languages list | |
21:13 | Joubu | I think your patch is ok |
21:13 | but I do not understand why it fixes the issue :) | |
21:13 | Adel | Hello, I hope this is the right place to ask. I'm going to start an internship and I need to implement a library system so I'm looking this way, but are there any time estimates for setting up Koha? |
21:14 | caroline | Adel wow that is a mighty project for an internship! |
21:14 | Joubu | hello Adel, yes it's the place to ask, welcome :) |
21:15 | Are you dev or librarian? | |
21:15 | Adel | I'm a dev, they wanted me to build one but no way in hell I'm going to finish that in an internship |
21:16 | It's a single library, not very large, they have all their records on Excel and want to modernize | |
21:17 | Joubu | cait: ok silly me, it fixes it because $template->param('lang') unset the value sent from C4::Auth, so your patch is perfect as it |
21:17 | cait | yeah, creating a new one is not what i would recommend |
21:17 | Joubu: that's what i reckoned | |
21:17 | Joubu: and it never seemed to pass the language to GetTranslatesLanguages | |
21:17 | becuase it never really got the lang... but it didn't seem to break htings... because it's not using the return? | |
21:17 | quite... odd | |
21:17 | caroline | Adel with my colleagues here who are devs (I'm a librarian) the minimum I've seen is 3 months, but they have been doing it for 10 years |
21:18 | cait | it depends on the library, the data... what functionality they want to use |
21:18 | caroline | so all the tools to convert excel files for example are already coded |
21:18 | cait | and probably a bit on your background for the time needed to migrate date and set up the production system - lots of variables |
21:19 | Joubu: so you'd leave it as is? | |
21:19 | Joubu | cait: the bug is that call: $template->param('lang'); the other changes your patch made are just removing useless code, so it's fine to have them |
21:19 | yes | |
21:19 | cait | cool thx :) |
21:19 | Joubu: using a bit of vacation time for practicing problem solving... | |
21:20 | Adel | Oh snap, that's longer than I thought, the worst thing is that they want a project plan before approving the funds |
21:21 | cait | how long is your internship? |
21:21 | caroline | Adel: although we don't work on one project full time, so it might take you a lot less time (expecially if the team is smaller... more ppl = more time) |
21:22 | Adel | Officially 4 months, I wouldn't be working full time either, but I'd be the only intern, although I was told I could be given more time outside the internship |
21:23 | cait | Using Koha will require you to convert the excel data into Marc21 |
21:24 | which is a library stnadard format for bibliographic data - that can be a bit tricky | |
21:24 | but maybe try out one of the demos to get an idea of Koha and give it a few days to set up a installation and see how it goes for a start? | |
21:24 | alexbuckley joined #koha | |
21:24 | caroline | cait: the conversion would be the biggest chunk no? |
21:24 | installation is pretty quick? | |
21:24 | cait | caroline: i guess... well if it's only a few fields maybe it could be ok |
21:25 | but with no library background marc21 has a bit of a steep learning curve i guess | |
21:25 | :) | |
21:25 | Adel: if you try, make sure you use the packages | |
21:25 | packages? | |
21:25 | ah still no wahanu | |
21:25 | i | |
21:26 | caroline | he's still on the beach... |
21:26 | cait | wizzyrea: can you restart wahanui? |
21:26 | Adel | If entering data takes up the most of the time maybe I could get some help from the librarian. |
21:26 | cait | how many do they have? |
21:26 | Adel | Probably just one, it's a small library |
21:26 | cait | ah, i meant items/books |
21:26 | :) | |
21:27 | sometimes it's easier to just enter them again instead of migrating, but depends on how many and if you got the time etc | |
21:27 | koha can pull data from external catalogs, so if you have isbn etc you can get nice records | |
21:27 | Adel | Oh, not sure, I actually told them I'd send them a few questions and I'd make the project plan based on that feedback, I don't want to spend too much time gathering information without getting paid for it. |
21:27 | caroline | true |
21:27 | cait | i'd ask them for a data sample maybe and some numbers |
21:28 | Adel | Sounds great, could there be anything else I need to consider? :) |
21:28 | cait | what do they want to do with the system? |
21:29 | caroline | let me check the questions we ask our clients |
21:29 | cait | circulation? cataloguing? OPAC? acquisitions? subscrpition management... |
21:30 | caroline | what data they have, the format, etc. Also the patron data and how it is stored (excel/csv or other format) |
21:30 | Adel | They said they wanted it locally but chances are they'll want OPAC for convenience. |
21:31 | caroline | what equipment they already have vs what they will need to buy (servers, scanners, depending on what they want to do) |
21:32 | cait | what kind of a library is it? |
21:32 | public library, company library... | |
21:33 | Adel | private library, private school, it's a single room, although I haven't entered to guesstimate the amount of books. |
21:33 | cait | ah a school |
21:33 | cool | |
21:33 | Adel | caroline: that's really helpful, thanks :D |
21:33 | caroline | also, for your planning, make sure you include personnalisation time |
21:33 | they may want you to change to look of the opac of somthing like that | |
21:35 | Joubu | Adel: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaDevBox if you want a local install easily and hack |
21:35 | caroline | I can't help you with computer stuff, but if you need help converting to marc or other library-specific question, don't hesitate to come looking for me here! ;) |
21:36 | cait | Adel: where are you located? |
21:36 | caroline | Oh yeah, also, if they have other software they want/need to be connected to koha (like a student database or something like that) |
21:37 | Adel | I'm in Mexico, so I'd need to install Koha in spanish |
21:37 | cait | spanish is no problem |
21:38 | make sure you install the language before you run the web installer | |
21:38 | because then you get the sample data installed in spanish too | |
21:38 | package commands for htis are here: https://wiki.koha-community.or[…]ANET_staff_client | |
21:39 | Adel | caroline: I doubt it, they said they had zero systems in place, they'll probably want to log the who borrows the books at least, without user management. |
21:41 | caroline | They might have to manage users with koha even if its just to log issues and returns, but it can be kept at a minimum. |
21:42 | Adel | You mean staff? |
21:43 | caroline | staff and students (if they want to issue and return books through koha, students have to have a user file) |
21:43 | But it can be only their name and an id | |
21:44 | I guess they could lend all the books to the same user if they REALLY don't want to manage patron files | |
21:45 | At least just to know which books are borrowed and which are not | |
21:46 | Adel | Got it |
21:48 | caroline | cait: I think I found the problem with linking an authority to 264$b... I can't specify to copy the authority info in the b subfield... It goes directly to 264$a -_- |
21:49 | unless maybe if I only write in my b subfield in my authority... seems so counter intuitive | |
21:50 | Adel | I think that's all I needed to know, thanks to everyone for the help, I'll forward my questions to the school and check on what cait suggested while I wait for the feedback. (: |
21:50 | caroline | Good luck Adel ! |
21:51 | cait | good luck :) |
21:51 | caroline: hmpf | |
21:51 | about the authority | |
21:52 | found an older thread on the mailing list - maybe there is something useful in there https://lists.katipo.co.nz/pub[…]March/047450.html | |
21:55 | hm the same problem, but no solution | |
21:57 | caroline | hm, i tried filling in only the $b in my authority record and it worked, it copied in the 264$b field. BUT, if I search for my authority (in Authorities module) I have to search the entire record since there is no $a |
21:57 | I guess it's not the end of the world... I'll have to test more to see if it causes other problems | |
22:00 | cait | hm yeah, i see no way to change hte mapping for the copy action :( |
22:00 | like copy a to b | |
22:00 | caroline | cait: re: the mailing list, yeah I'm thinking maybe of putting a 710 or 71X field for the publisher, I just want it to be easy for them since they're not librarians |
22:01 | cait | yep |
22:01 | caroline | they are sooooo excited to have their collection in koha though! It is fun to watch the star in their eyes when they see ll the possibilities :D |
22:02 | cait | :) |
