13:16 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=9156 normal, P5 - low, ---, gmcharlt, Failed QA , itemcallnumber not pulling more than 2 subfields
13:18 oleonard @later tell khall Have you seen Bug 23025? I updated the patch on that to add more upgrades
13:18 huginn oleonard: The operation succeeded.
13:19 oleonard ashimema: Or perhaps you could explain how to get that bug moving in another way... patch only for fstream?
13:20 ashimema hi
13:20 * ashimema reads up
13:21 ashimema ooh.. i'd entirely forgotten about that one.
13:22 I basically think we aught to update all dependancies regularly.. but likely as two operations each time..
13:22 one patch for all 'dev only' dependancies.. like a our build tools
13:22 and one for user facing..
13:23 dev only stuff can basically skip QA in my opinion.. it's not going to hurt end users.. only developers.. who are more likely to be able to fix it themselves quickly enough..
13:23 but user facing needs a bit more testing.. like when you upgraded bootstrap or jQuery for example.
13:23 thoughts?
13:24 if the set in bug 23025 just dev facing..
13:24 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=23025 is not accessible.
13:24 ashimema if so.. I'll mark is PQA now and push it before release
13:24 oleonard I think I agree. yarn doesn't manage any user-facing assets, only what is required for compiling SCSS

13:56 * magnuse wonders if the test plan for bug 24072 should just be "see the typos" or involve a lot of setting up loans that expire today etc

14:02 Sigh. And you people thought I was kidding yesterday...
14:03 oops. Double-wrong window, heh.
14:03 oleonard JBoyer: Somehow this problem will be resolved by the time Star Trek's comm system is invented
14:04 ashimema remind me.. are we allowed to use html5 input types and validation now oleonard?
14:05 oleonard ashimema: Yes, but I think adding JS validation using the validation plugin is a good extra layer
14:05 ashimema i.e. I am tempted to update the accounts payments pages to  use `type="number"` and set `min` values on the 'collected from patron` field for bug 22359

14:06 ashimema 'min' is a bit weird.. although you can set type to number and the little incrementing arrows stop at min.. you can still enter a value by hand that's less than it..
14:06 grr
14:06 oleonard I think "number" is the most common example of an HTML5 input type used in Koha already
14:06 caroline_crazycatlady hello everyone!
14:07 oleonard Hi caroline_crazycatlady
14:07 caroline_crazycatlady++ # Great education meeting summary
14:08 ashimema got a good example of the belt and braces approach using js too?
14:08 caroline_crazycatlady thank you! It was really fun and I'm hoping the docs team can work out what we want :)
14:08 * ashimema wonders what he missed there
14:09 caroline_crazycatlady ashimema: I sent you an email regarding one of the points
14:09 oleonard ashimema: This "belt and braces" idiom is completely new to me!
14:09 ashimema oh really.. lol
14:09 i.e. javascript + html5 validation
14:10 implimenting both at the same time rather than relying on just one
14:12 oleonard ashimema: I don't think there's any difference between using both and using just the JS validation
14:13 ashimema fair enough
14:13 oleonard /prog/js/categories.js has good examples of using the plugin
14:13 ashimema thanks
14:14 the challange is going to be that I want to watch one field and use it's value as the minimum for another
14:15 oleonard picture-upload.tt has an example of using a "depends" parameter
14:15 ashimema excellent, thanks
14:15 very helpful
14:20 what plugin are we using.. just trying to find some docs on 'depends'.. see
14:20 oleonard https://jqueryvalidation.org/
14:20 ashimema https://jqueryvalidation.org/documentation/ ?
14:21 oleonard Not great documentation unfortunately.
14:21 Also I see were using an out-of-date version
14:22 ashimema just enough I believe :)
14:23 * oleonard watches carefully for caroline_catlady 's nick to change back
14:23 caroline_catlady i just wanted to make sure I didn't get laters for my "regular" nick :)
14:25 Joubu ashimema: did you get an error when you ran the koha-meetings script for the last doc meeting?
14:25 ashimema: https://wiki.koha-community.or[…]_14_November_2019 minutes are missing
14:25 caroline_catlady I'm sure my IRC client will eventually revert me back to crazy
14:26 ashimema :(
14:26 I don't remember if I ran the script of not now (

16:13 wizzyrea i want to set one of these up for the community
16:13 https://www.question2answer.org/
16:13 it's FOSS stack overflow
16:13 that we control
16:14 i have server capacity for this.
16:19 ashimema did we not having something like that once?
16:20 I like the idea though
16:21 caroline_catlady Yeah, I feel like I've seen something like this before
16:22 ashimema maybe it was anoter project i used to work with that had that.. openstreetmap: https://help.openstreetmap.org/
16:22 oleonard-away joined #koha
16:23 wizzyrea hi
16:24 yeah we tried with stackoverflow proper a few years ago
16:24 but that never caught on
16:24 mostly because we don't have enough volume to justify a stackoverflow of our own
16:24 ashimema grr.. seems osqa (the open software we used at openstreetmap for this) has since gone closed source as far as I can tell
16:25 still.. your Question2Answer looks interesting
16:43 wizzyrea it's great
16:43 ByWater uses it internally
16:43 it is A+++++
16:44 inlibro joined #koha
16:44 wizzyrea and it can be made prettier than the default theme.
16:44 which of course we'd want :)
16:44 i'm gonna do it.
16:44 if it catches on, great
16:45 if not, it's only a little of my time. ^.^
16:45 oleonard Scandalous

17:12 caroline_catlady we already have a faq in the manual, maybe start with that?
17:13 * oleonard goes there to check whether penguins have knees
17:14 caroline_catlady we should add it just for fun :)
17:14 Where I worked before, a colleague wanted to catalog a spatula and see how much time it took for a patron to come ask for it, hehe

17:48 oleonard Looks like we don't have a unified way to generate CSV/odt exports. Seems like an oversight.
17:49 davidnind caroline_catlady: I will give it a go shortly, seems really useful to be able to add an index
17:49 caroline_catlady oh hi davidnind! I was just writing you an email :)
17:50 didn't know you were already up
17:50 AnnaBoten \_o< quack!
17:50 wahanui *click*
17:50 oleonard *click*
17:50 Dang, my clumsy fingers
17:50 caroline_catlady Are ReST and LwDITA different markup languages? And if so, should we start to move the manual toward LwDITA?
17:50 davidnind nearly 7am, so I guess I should be up
17:51 caroline_catlady eh, I'm not up at 7am ;)
17:52 oleonard caroline_catlady: I'll be sure not to post puppy pictures at 5:30AM when I get up in case the notification wakes you
17:52 caroline_catlady My phone's notifications are blocked until 7 :) post away and I will smile when I wake up
17:53 davidnind Normal DITA (Darwin Information Typing Architecture) is an XML based language, which puts some people off - it has lots of tags that can be used, not as many as DocBook though
17:55 Lightweight DITA (LwDITA) is an attempt to make it easier to author by allowing topics to be written using different formats - a simplified XML structure, HTML, and markdown
17:56 caroline_catlady Is it more complicated than ReST? We're just starting to get ppl on board to contribute... Do you think it would scare them?
17:57 davidnind DITA is an open standard managed by OASIS, LwDITA is still under development, but it mostly works - at some stage I thing they would like to add a restructured text option
17:58 caroline_catlady The other thing is, can we still do all the other stuff we talked about with ReST (namely, doing smaller chapters, how-tos, etc) and exporting them as training material?
18:00 going to lunch, my stomach is digesting itself, bbl
18:00 davidnind it is just plain text, for example https://github.com/DITAWriter/[…]and_advantages.md
18:01 have a nice lunch!
18:02 the main difference between ReST and other markup languages is that they are designed to be 'book-based'
18:05 DITA is designed to be topic-based, where you create small self-contained topics covering one thing(and one content type - such as a task, or a reference topic), then combine the topics using a map (a table of contents) - the topics can then be reused for different information products
18:06 but to answer your questions, I think the authoring is easy, the bigger change is going from writing more narrative style book type content to a topic-based approach
18:07 and we can get some way with ReST as an interim step
18:07 will get a working example up as soon as I can
18:32 caroline_catlady Ok thanks for the clarification.
18:32 Not sure if the index idea fits in the long term development though

18:49 davidnind oleonard: I remember bug 21560 I worked on testing with fridolin which had ods export (but don't know whether this used in a generalised way)
18:49 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=21560 major, P5 - low, ---, fridolin.somers, CLOSED FIXED, Optimize ODS exports
18:50 davidnind caroline_catlady: I like indexes myself, although I don't think I think like an indexer though...
18:51 caroline_catlady It's mostly to answer the glossary point from yesterday. I thought we could add an index with "see" and "see also" for non-koha terms (like "Loan see Checkout")
18:51 davidnind they can take a lot of work to do well, but could help with the type of thing Fred was talking about where library staff are used to different terminology from other systems
18:52 caroline_catlady exactly

19:48 And nice to read you as always

20:22 ashimema :)
20:22 caroline_catlady ashimema++
20:23 ashimema in other news.. thanks for all the efforts on the manual in the last couple of weeks.. well over the whole cycle really.. but particularly the last couple of weeks there seems to have been a real uptick :)
20:23 It's great to see
20:24 caroline_catlady lucyvh++
20:24 she's been on fire!
20:24 davidnind lucyvh++
20:25 everyone has been great!
20:25 although, because of me, we are still trying to get 19.05 changes in - haven't even tackled 19.11 changes yet :-(
20:26 caroline_catlady not because of you... I was in charge of 19.05
20:26 * thd turns back into a pumpkin if he does not locate some identity documents before his birthday.
20:26 caroline_catlady We're slowly getting there
20:27 davidnind too many changes, never enough time!
20:27 caroline_catlady amen!
20:27 davidnind (good changes though)
20:28 might try and do a 'human readable' summary of what's new  for 19.11 as a teaser until the details are available in the 19.11 manual
20:28 caroline_catlady yeah I was planning something like that for 20.05
20:28 Currently writing one up for 19,05 and 18.11 for our clients
20:29 hence my contributions to the manual :)
20:29 davidnind ByWaters has been doing the same for 19.05
20:29 caroline_catlady++
20:30 caroline_catlady Iw onder if we could somehow "tag" the new stuff we write up and summarize the release notes that way
20:30 davidnind aslso, a good education meeting yesterday as well
20:30 caroline_catlady another thing to think about for the modular approach to the manual
20:31 davidnind maybe have a curated what's new section in the manual - with the key new features and enhancements highlighted to get libraries excited!
20:31 oleonard See y'all later
20:31 caroline_catlady yes! I love it!
20:32 Would that new section be a collection of links to different parts of the manual or actual sections?
20:33 When we merge we could add either the link or the section to that What's new section
20:33 ashimema I'd love to be able to link to the manual from the release notes for new features ;)
20:33 caroline_catlady you have to help us create permalinks then :)
20:34 davidnind ideally this should be generated, but manually it would be a summary and then point to the details (if they are in the manual) - but a nice succinct summary would be a start
20:34 caroline_catlady I didn't much understand your answer btw :(
20:34 davidnind ashiema: that would be great
20:34 caroline_catlady symlinks? how do we generate those?
20:36 ashimema it's a serverside thing.. we'd need to ask rangi or wizzyrea
20:37 (or in the future andreasm might be able to do it, once we've onboarded him for website maintanence.. it's on my list to catch wizzyrea)
20:37 caroline_catlady would we have to do something in the actual text?
20:40 ashimema What exactly do you mean by deep links?
20:41 if you're just saying you want to put a link to a particular section in the manual from your own documentation
20:41 and always get the latest version..
20:41 caroline_catlady yes exactly that (for training material or blog posts)
20:41 ashimema then.. so long as the general structure of the manual doesn't change.. then we can use the existing data and just use a symlink to say instead of
20:42 `https://koha-community.org/man[…]oha-web-installer`
20:42 you'd link to
20:42 `https://koha-community.org/man[…]oha-web-installer`
20:42 caroline_catlady ok cool!
20:42 ashimema and that would automagically take you to 19.11 when 19.11 is the current release.. or 20.05 when it's 20.05 or whatever..
20:43 caroline_catlady yes exactly! that is what we want
20:43 ashimema so 'latest' is a 'placeholder' word for 'give me the latest version here
20:43 * caroline_catlady likes using the royal we
20:43 ashimema rangi the manual is servered from one of your servers isn't it..
20:43 caroline_catlady I don't pretend to speak in the name of anybody else
20:44 ashimema I'm talking without full knowledge here.. hopefully that's not a crazy suggestions ^
20:44 rangi ashimema: nope
20:44 davidnind it is a good one though!
20:44 rangi its only wizzyrea linode
20:44 it's on even
20:44 inlibro joined #koha
20:45 wizzyrea hi what
20:45 did someone need something from me?
20:45 caroline_catlady yes, read back a couple of message
20:46 I'd like to be able to have permalinks to sections of the manual
20:46 to use in training material or blog posts
20:46 and ashimema was suggestions symlinks
20:46 wizzyrea oh
20:46 caroline_catlady but apparently you have to do it on your server
20:47 we could substitute "latest" for the version number
20:47 wizzyrea right
20:47 ok I see yeah
20:48 ashimema I'm basically stealing the idea from how we always link to the latest version of koha downloads ;)
20:48 so can't realy claim it was my idea.. I just borrowed it.. hopefully it wouldn't be something too horribly difficult
20:48 davidnind the other way is with redirects (which are different from symbolic links) you would need a file with the patterns e.g. go from here to there for any requests, the webserver configuration would just include this file
20:49 ashimema wizzyrea.. would be good to catch you at some point to talk website and the website maintainer role.. andreas has offered to help there.. hopefully we can help spread the load a little so you're not so burdened with it..
20:49 davidnind that way the documentation team could maintain, then make a request to update it to the newest version
20:51 ashimema readthedocs does it like this too
20:56 davidnind release notes while I don't forget - not that anyone has time to watch webinars, these ones are great https://easydita.com/?s=release+notes + an example https://docs.easydita.com/docs[…]0-release-details

21:08 urra[m] Hello
21:09 I am trying to.migrate from 3.06 to 19.05 and I do not find how to export authorities from the 3.06
21:13 caroline_catlady Sorry, I've never used 3,06
21:14 Are your authorities very complex? (like with tracings and things)
21:15 urra[m] <caroline_catlady "Sorry, I've never used 3,06"> I am migrating from that version to 19.05 and I do not find information about how to export authorities
21:15 I already export import bibliographic records and it works perfect
21:15 But I do not afind how to export authorities from the 3.06 version
21:16 Anyway thanks a lot
21:16 caroline_catlady I thought there was a script to create authorities automatically from your bibliographic records, but I can't find it
21:17 urra[m] Yes I saw that if I cannot export I will try to generate the authorities from the bibliographic records
21:17 davidnind urra: later versions of Koha let you export authorities Staff interface >  Tools > Catalog > Export data > Export authority records tab
21:18 but 3.06 might not have that :-(
21:18 urra[m] And that is great ... The problem is that I need to import from a previous version the authorities
21:19 I find 19.05 great
21:20 And I am waiting for 19.11
21:20 Thanks everybody for such quit responses ,,:-)
21:21 davidnind (I actually know nothing about cataloguing... sorry I couldn't be of more help)
21:21 caroline_catlady maybe use the script export_records.pl?
21:22 not sure if it exists in 3.06
21:22 but probably if you were able to export your bib records
21:22 urra[m] I will try :-):-):-)
21:23 Maybe something could be done directly in SQL?
21:23 caroline_catlady hum, maybe if the db structure hasn't changed too much
21:24 urra[m] 3.06 has catalog export
21:24 caroline_catlady you could cump and reimport
21:24 urra[m] Very easy
21:24 caroline_catlady *dump
21:24 urra[m] Thanks Caroline
21:25 That is a good suggestion
21:26 caroline_catlady but like I said, if you don't have tracings (4XX and 5XX) fields in your authorities, I would just use the build_authorities script
21:27 urra[m] Ok
21:27 I will check and let you know
21:27 :-)
21:30 davidnind urra: I wouldn't wait for 19.11 - I would go for 19.05 and perhaps upgrade to 19.11 after a few point releases (I think many libraries take this approach, new releases are stable but sometimes they may have one or two things that don't work as expected - these get fixed pretty quickly though...)
21:31 urra[m] Agree David.. I already installed 19.05
21:31 And I am enjoying it
21:31 davidnind excellent!
21:31 wahanui darn tootin' it is.
