12:00 tuxayo hi o/
12:01 oleonard What's new tuxayo?
12:04 tuxayo oleonard: trying sign off a few stuff in case it's useful for 20.05 release. Reading doc about RMaint, and also related doc.
12:04 (Bug Reporting Guidelines, Developers Handbook, Coding Guidelines, etc)
12:06 * oleonard has been distracted from Koha by another project... setting up Bookpoints for our summer reading program
12:07 tcohen Bookpoints?
12:08 Oh I see
12:08 oleonard Drupal-based, somewhat open source but no community as far as I can tell
12:09 * oleonard bugged them about making a public repo and they said they would
12:09 oleonard We're trying to make other plans since we'll have no in-person events for the foreseeable future :(
12:12 tuxayo Best wishes to all librarians trying to maintain contact with and between patrons. Though task.
12:13 oleonard We officially reopened yesterday, and already patrons are violating social distancing rules. I don't envy the jobs of the front-line librarians.
12:16 cait1 :(
12:17 I believe most of ours are closed or do pick-up of requested items
12:17 oleonard Congratulations to anyone who lives in a country where viruses are not a political issue
12:18 cait1 not sure if that is totally true
12:18 TimothyAlexis oleonard Thank you.
12:18 Joubu oleonard: Where that?
12:18 wahanui it has been said that that is how it works now
12:19 oleonard Joubu: Elsewhere?
12:20 Joubu it's political here as well ;)

12:27 Joubu ashimema For the release, you will need bug 25513, bug 25444, bug 25608 and bug 25601

12:28 Joubu tcohen told me he was going to QA 25513
12:34 tcohen I'm on it
12:34 Dyrcona joined #koha
12:36 tcohen Joubu are you sure 25513 removal on Koha::Object is safe?
12:37 Joubu no
12:37 you told me it was
12:37 we talked about that few days ago, the problem will be for jessie
12:37 tcohen ok, there's a DBD::mysql report on Github saying there's a regression in the wild
12:37 yes
12:37 ok
12:37 I will double check before QA
12:39 Joubu I sent you the different outputs of the mysql_is_num value in PM earlier this week
12:39 cannot remember when, but I can find them in the logs
12:40 tcohen I have those logs as well
12:40 the regression is not confirmed
12:40 and one dev confirmed it works correctly on 4.050
12:41 which is the version in buster/focal
12:41 (stretch has the fixed 4.041
12:43 cait ok, our virtual user meeting for german speaking countres is on... everyone cros fingers please
12:44 Joubu tcohen: please post the different links on the bug report. Could be useful later :)
12:44 enjoy cait!

13:23 TimothyAlexis I have koha-testing-docker set up and today when I'm running the ku alias I get this: koha_1       | Database is not empty! at /kohadevbox/misc4dev/populate_db.pl line 95.
13:23 koha_koha_1 exited with code 1
13:25 kidclamp run kd first
13:25 make sure the containers are all stopped
13:25 tuxayo TimothyAlexis: did you use "kd" to shutdown koha-testing-docker last time?
13:26 kidclamp after kd try 'docker volume ls'
13:26 you may need prune any volume that didn't get cleared
13:26 * oleonard waves to kidclamp
13:26 * kidclamp waves back
13:27 * tuxayo notes about 'docker volume ls'
13:27 enkidu joined #koha
13:28 tuxayo kd always did the trick for me but if anything weird remains until now, this volume thing will be handy.
13:28 kidclamp yeah, I have gottenthings stuck before
13:30 TimothyAlexis tuxayo & kidclamp kd was enough this time. Thank you :D

13:39 nsk1 joined #koha
13:40 nsk1 hi need some help
13:41 i am trying to change the overall design of the UI...like colors, moving the menus from center to the left..things like that
13:41 do i need to know perl to do these?
13:41 oleonard nsk1 you should try to make all such customizations using CSS and if necessary JS
13:42 You should avoid making changes to the Perl scripts or templates
13:44 kivilahtio joined #koha
13:45 nsk1 so these kinda customisations are possible via css and JS itself...no need to use perl...right?
13:46 oleonard Usually, depending on how drastic the changes are
13:46 lari joined #koha
13:47 nsk1 how can i realign the menus on the dashboard? can u point me to some place that talks about it?
13:53 oleonard Can you explain more about what you want to do?
13:53 nsk1 one minute
13:54 once the staff logs in
13:54 he sees a dashboard
13:54 module wise
13:54 like circulation, patrons, etc
13:54 they are at the center
13:54 inlibro joined #koha
13:54 nsk1 i want to align them to the left
13:55 one below the other
13:57 oleonard May I ask why?
13:58 nsk1 just a different looking UI
13:58 not having the same design and colors as usual
13:59 oleonard Have you tested the CSS-related system preferences?
14:00 nsk1 i have tried it but it doesnt seem to work...which is why i want to know whether i am doing the right thing and changing it at the right places
14:03 Marie-Luce joined #koha
14:06 oleonard The preferences definitely work, so it's probably an issue with the CSS you've tried.
14:06 Are you familiar with using the browser's DOM inspector to investigate the page's CSS?
14:07 nsk1 yes i do know the inspect element function
14:09 oleonard That gives you the information you need to override the CSS which is included in Koha. You can put that CSS in  IntranetUserCSS if you want to change the staff interface
14:09 Changing the order and placement of columns is more difficult though.
14:10 We use the Bootstrap framework for layout (v. 3)
14:10 But there aren't quick ways I know of to re-order elements using CSS overrides.
14:11 You may have to resort to JavaScript.
14:12 I recommend starting by making some color changes in order to get some practice
14:14 enkidu joined #koha
14:17 andreashm joined #koha
14:20 lukeG joined #koha
14:21 nsk1 yes i have managed to change the colors
14:21 that is relatively easy
14:21 but alignment is something that i am unable to do
14:22 oleonard Oh okay, I though you said the CSS preferences weren't working for you.
14:25 nsk1 no the simple ones like colors and text r working...slightly more complicated like alignment isnt working...either it isnt working or i dont know where and how to make the changes
14:25 and i am surprised that u guys have thought about so much stuff in the library and allowed so many things to be customised but a simple thing like alignment is so difficult to do
14:28 oleonard Okay.
14:36 cait it's not so simple in terms of html and page structure
14:38 nsk1 i see
14:38 so no one has tried it b4?
14:38 cait i haven't heard ofsuch a request yet and we support over 130 libraries ;)
14:40 nsk1 ok...strange...so no one wants to change the UI design and all of them are happy having the same designs across so many libraries....:)
14:41 sorry but i am not trying to sound too smart or anything...but any open source code (with UI) that i tend to pick up...i just try to change the UI...i mean, atleast that could be my contribution when i set up something..:)
14:42 no fun setting up everything as is...:)
14:44 cait you can create your own theme if you really want to - we just would not recommen dit :)
14:44 but Koha does support that
14:44 it's just moving as such a fast pace that if you start out with something like this, you are getting into trouble with your maintenance pretty fast
14:45 nsk1 ok i understand..:)
14:45 for creating a new theme, do i need to know perl?
14:46 cait you'd need Template Toolkit
14:47 nsk1 i see...ok...lemme try that...any other suggestions that u would give b4 i attempt this change? any tips? :)
14:47 cait but it's rarely used feature for reasons i guess - koha can be monthly updated and if something is changed in teh standard templats (which happens quite often) your modified files will need to be manually canged as well
14:48 i'd recommend not doing it before you get a beter feel for things and feel it's absolutely anavoidable
14:49 nsk1 ok...thing is...i am doing this for a library and i am a bit worried that someone in there or who has been to many libraries b4 would sense the sameness
14:49 in case they have come across a library using koha b4
14:49 TimothyAlexis joined #koha
14:50 mariahedberg joined #koha
14:52 mariahedberg Hi all! I used the command `ku` to start the koha-testing-docker, and after solving some small problems it looks like it's starting, but in the middle of all the output I got
14:52 andreashm joined #koha
14:52 mariahedberg koha_1       | Cannnot open file No such file or directory at /kohadevbox/misc4dev/cp_debian_files.pl line 35. koha_koha_1 exited with code 2
14:53 oleonard nsk1: Thousands of libraries using Koha have not worried that their staff interface looks too much like someone else's.
14:55 inlibro joined #koha
14:55 nsk1 ok...cool...no worries....i think i will leave it as such and delve deeper into the juice...:)
14:56 cait nsk1: it's more a feature
14:56 they will be ablet o use all the manuals and materials available easily
14:56 and there is tons of stuff on the internet
14:57 it's standard sofftware for libraries... they should not expect to get some thing unique
14:58 nsk1 ok i understand your point
14:58 will stick to it
14:59 how can i remove the 'about koha' from the staff client dashboard?
15:01 lukeG nsk1: If you are looking for a simple way differentiate one staff client from the next or even from one branch to the next, here is a simple way: https://bywatersolutions.com/e[…]ations-per-branch
15:03 nsk1 oh ok...a video tutorial...nice...thanks...will have a look
15:04 lukeG nsk1: Yes, you can hide the About Koha button from the staff client by adding this to the IntranetUserJS: .icon_koha {display:none !important;}
15:05 nsk1 great
15:05 thanks a lot
15:06 will try it
15:09 caroline I've had some picky clients who are like "well, can we change this", and "can we hide that" I used to oblige them, but decided that they chose a software and that's what the software looks like, live with it, you'll get used to it
15:09 it's hard to maintain from one version to another, sometimes things change and you wonder why and it's because the class is different nouw or whatever
15:12 andreashm joined #koha
15:12 caroline sometimes I feel like librarians don't trust their staff to be intelligent enough (I get that some staff is techno-averse)
15:12 nsk1 yeah i understand caroline
15:12 clients never get satisfied with what they get
15:12 very picky
15:13 caroline I don't know if oleonard still has his purple theme? I used that in the past for my dev installations because i'm a #crazypurplelady
15:14 oleonard Haha I didn't remember that I shared it. It was just header changes as far as I can recall?
15:14 caroline you can never have too much purple imo
15:14 yes it was the gradient at the top that was purple :)
15:15 oleonard caroline: New system preference, StaffInterfaceAllPurple
15:15 caroline yes pls!
15:16 cait +1
15:17 Marie-Luce +1
15:17 caroline The software I used when I worked in a library had 2 or 3 themes that we could choose from, it might be something to contribute nsk1
15:17 lukeG +1
15:20 cait we tried for a while with the OPAC
15:20 it got hard fast tbh
15:21 hm unles themes != templats but a nice css file
15:21 and sorry for the typos
15:22 caroline yeah I meant we could have a couple of css files that come with the installation and you can change it with the syspref
15:22 don't remember what the syspref is called, but it's the one I used for the purple theme
15:22 ah here it is intranetcolorstylesheet
15:23 cait i like that idea
15:24 caroline that way if you have more that one install (eg. live and test) you could have different themes
15:24 I always add a big red border on test installs with many warnings hehe
15:25 cait we do something visual too
15:25 but it keeps disappearing when we reset/update
15:25 caroline https://snipboard.io/27SxYn.jpg
15:25 cait more worried abotu changing the wrong library sometimes, so used to quickly check all the time
15:26 can you share the css?
15:26 caroline sure
15:27 pastebot "caroline" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "css" (5 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/20947
15:27 cait thx!
15:27 caroline it goes in intranetusercss

16:49 tuxayo Very subtle stuff in Bugzilla: If one sends their first comment in a bug and there is a mid air collision, then accepting to just sent the comment won't cause being added to the CC list.
16:49 So that can be a cause of not being notified of next messages.

20:05 caroline Hi all, can anyone change system preferences? I've been trying since last week at lease to use my master to check things and it always gives me an error
20:05 I *just* did a git pull and updatedatabase.pl
20:06 thinking it might solve the problem
20:06 tcohen caroline, did you restart_all?
20:06 caroline what does that do?
20:07 tcohen it flushes memcached, and restarts plack
20:07 caroline I don't use plack
20:07 not sure about memcached
20:07 cait it's thepermission thing i bet
20:07 caroline: okhadevbox?
20:07 caroline no it's installed on my computer
20:07 cait could still be
20:08 can you check plack logs when you try to safe a pref?
20:08 tcohen caroline a dev install?
20:08 caroline yes on the master branch
20:08 tcohen vintage :-D
20:08 caroline hehe!
20:09 I don't have plack so I don't have plack logs
20:09 I only have koha-error_log
20:09 nothing new in there since january
20:10 cait oh that's really vintage
20:10 i thought it might be 25284
20:11 caroline well it's pushed to master and I just pulled like 10 minutes ago
20:12 cait yes, but not sure it would just fx things
20:12 tcohen: ?
20:13 kivilahtio joined #koha
20:14 caroline it seems dans 25284 is for new installs
20:14 lari joined #koha
20:15 caroline I've had mine for a while (since I got this computer) and I just git pull and updatedatabase all the time to keep up
20:15 to date

20:15 lari joined #koha

20:17 cait not sure where hte log woudl go on an old git install if at all
