00:37 alexbuckley hi all, a quick question. I want to enter a non-public note on a biblio record but don't want to have to add it to each individual item as you'd have to do using the 952$x. Is there an alternative suitabl marc subfield I could add a nonpublic note too?

02:49 tcohen hola
02:50 alexbuckley are you asking MARC21 questions?
02:50 or is it item notes?
02:50 aleisha recalls?
02:50 aleisha alexbuckley: https://www.loc.gov/marc/authority/ad667.html ?
02:50 yes tcohen bug 19532

02:51 alexbuckley its a marc21 question tcohen
02:51 ah thanks aleisha
02:51 tcohen Joubu is AFK for some more days, get it through QA and I'll push it :-P
02:51 LOL
02:51 those are authority record notes
02:52 I think you should pick a 59X (local notes)
02:53 alexbuckley ahh 590$a perhaps
02:53 aleisha ah true
02:53 alexbuckley 590 looks to be indexed too which is a plus
02:53 tcohen maybe it means extra work if you need to display it on the UI
02:54 (unless you play with GET /api/v1/biblios/:biblio_id and JS
02:54 ^.^
02:55 alexbuckley true! I'd only want it visible in the staff client
02:55 tcohen extra work == does the XSLT include it already?
02:56 alexbuckley as far as I can see xslt doesn't display it now, but it is visible in 'Description' tab in staff client
02:57 tcohen right
02:58 lukeG did a great job using the API to render stuffs on the detail view
02:58 for a ByWater partner
02:58 as you can fetch the MARC-in-JSON record and just traverse it to get the data
03:00 alexbuckley oh interesting, I've never done any work with that before, I'll look into it. thanks so much for your help!
03:00 tcohen in Theke we are starting to leverage on the API as much as we can
03:01 we don't like maintaining XSLTs
03:01 :-D
03:01 we don't like XSLT at al
03:01 all
03:01 alexbuckley ah so its basically an alternative to customising and maintaining XSLT's?
03:02 tcohen the cool thing about APIs, is that you can get creative and use them for whatever you want
03:02 when I wrote the /biblios route for fetching in various formats I was targeting this use case
03:04 alexbuckley it certainly does sound way simpler than loads of xslt files to maintain!
03:05 tcohen the more we use the APIs the more we find the design issues and make them mature
03:05 that one, specifically, won't probably change in a long time
03:06 so it is one to rely on
03:08 alexbuckley good to know :) you added it in bug 24908 ?

08:29 kohaputti anybody gotten SIP server work in koha-testing-docker? For me it starts but doesn't accept any connections
08:30 Undefined subroutine &C4::SIP::SIPServer::set_logger called at /kohadevbox/koha/C4/SIP/SIPServer.pm line 106.
08:34 ashimema how does one test bug 15522 ?
08:34 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=15522 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, jonathan.druart, Signed Off , New interface for revamped circulation rules
08:35 ashimema I've just checked out the branch.. but all I see in the circ rules page is 'Loading, please wait...'
08:35 forever
08:39 kohaputti ashimema, the status "Signed off" is wrong? I think it was added when lari tested the patches attached to the bug report, but those are not the ones that we want to use
08:39 we should mark the patches in the bug report obsolete if that is the case
08:39 ashimema lol.. I hadn't even looked at the status ;)
08:40 I just wanted to take a quick look at it.
08:40 kohaputti maybe the patches just don't work anymore
08:40 ashimema I thought Joubu had maintained his branch
08:40 kohaputti last update 5 months ago?
08:40 ashimema or maybe there's another branch now.. I'll dig down the comments
08:41 there's feedback coming in on the bottom of the bug.. so they must be running it somehow :(
08:42 kohaputti ashimema, so you checked out the new branch and did reset_all?
08:42 I mean https://gitlab.com/joubu/Koha/commits/bug_15522
08:43 ashimema, also maybe those testers used the patches that lari had signed off and added followups for...
08:49 figured out my problem with koha-testing-docker, the kohadev-koha user doesn't have PERL5LIB set
08:50 (with koha specific paths)
08:50 ashimema brb.. meeting
08:52 nlegrand joined #koha
08:52 nlegrand Bonjour #koha !
09:02 ashimema yeah.. I checked out the branch and reset everything
09:03 I'll try applying the bug instead.. though I bet there will be conflicts
09:03 kohaputti ashimema, I remember the patchset that preceded this required specific version of misc_tools... Anyway, easiest way to debug is probably check why it doesn't load or just wait for joubu to rebase to current master
09:04 ashimema, but the patches in the bug are totally different?
09:04 * ashimema is not using misc3dev for this.. testing using a local test dataset
09:07 kohaputti ah well, this patch set doesn't look to have any db specific changes so maybe it shouldn't matter here
09:08 ashimema hmm
09:08 think I'll give up
09:08 kohaputti but maybe there has been some new db changes in master.
09:08 ashimema perhaps
09:09 kohaputti (I'm guessing your local test dataset is for master)
09:09 has Joubu been around, btw?
09:09 ashimema well.. it's an 18.11 I use and then run updatedatabase ;)
09:09 no worries
09:09 Joubu is on his holidays
09:10 kohaputti ok, thanks for the info
09:13 ashimema he's vaguely around now and then.. if there's something urgent tochen and I still have push rights on master and permission from Joubu to push anything important ;)
09:13 * ashimema is tempted to jump in and fix the automicupdate that's hanging around

10:06 kohaputti turns out the issue with sip2 server was within koha / the refactoring of SIP2 logging: https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]cgi?id=15253#c102
10:06 huginn Bug 15253: enhancement, P5 - low, ---, kyle, Pushed to master , Add Koha::Logger based logging for SIP2
10:06 kohaputti The C4::SIP::Logger module doesn't export get_logger and set_logger
10:08 I think I have had this code working on ubuntu 20.04 machine
10:11 nope, it fails even on installed debian package
10:19 inlibro joined #koha
10:20 kohaputti ok, updated koha now on multiple machines from a version before the refactoring and all have the same issue
10:27 cait1 ashimema: maybe tcohen could - i think he pushed something already... so barrier might be lower :)
10:27 ah shoudl read all the things, you could too
10:30 ashimema hehe

12:13 tcohen morning
12:15 oleonard Hi tcohen
12:15 auvajs joined #koha
12:18 auvajs Hello. I'm new to koha, trying to install it on Ubuntu server. I followed the instructions and installed the software, but when I log in to the Web installer, it shows several Perl modules missing. This is strange since for example the first one is HTTPD::Bench::ApacheBench but I installed it meanwhile
12:19 inlibro joined #koha
12:20 auvajs could somebody help me please?
12:20 tcohen auvajs don't worry about those that say they are used for testing purposes
12:20 Ah, it doesn't say it on the UI!
12:21 auvajs tcohen: well most importantly I can't continue the installation process
12:21 tcohen tell us more
12:21 that one shouldn't prevent the install process, specifically
12:21 is this a packages install?
12:22 Ubuntu? What version? Is it supported? etc
12:22 https://snipboard.io/sqDlij.jpg
12:22 ^^ those shouldn't block an install
12:23 auvajs tcohen: https://i.postimg.cc/0yqfc1rK/screen01.jpg
12:23 oleonard Only Locale::Language is required to continue
12:23 tcohen mtj will be interested in the Ubuntu version, and the Koha version
12:24 if this is a packages install, it should be installed automatically, hence I repeat: what Ubuntu and Koha versions?
12:24 auvajs Ubuntu 19.10
12:24 tcohen go on
12:25 auvajs what's the command for koha version please? :)
12:25 tcohen what instructions have you been following?
12:26 you most probably installed using a Debian repository
12:26 so
12:26 apt show koha-common
12:26 auvajs tcohgen: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Debian
12:26 tcohen right
12:26 auvajs cohen* sorry for the typo
12:27 tcohen apt show koha-common
12:27 auvajs https://termbin.com/ibmi
12:28 tcohen I suggest
12:29 - That you install on an LTS release (20.04)
12:29 - That you manually install the library
12:29 the latter, if you cannot pick an LTS
12:30 I don't find it packaged for 19.10
12:30 so I suggest you do
12:30 $ sudo apt install cpanminus
12:30 wait
12:31 auvajs I'm using Google Cloud Platform and I think thay didn't have 20.04 for the zone/region I needed
12:31 tcohen try installing libintl-perl
12:32 and this is a packaging bug probably
12:32 auvajs libintl-perl allready installed
12:32 tcohen ok
12:32 $ sudo apt install cpanminus
12:33 $ sudo cpanm -i Language::Locale
12:33 sorry Locale::Language
12:33 he
12:35 auvajs tcohen: it shows some errors but I'll try to follow the instructions they suggest there
12:37 or if you think that starting all over with Ubuntu 20.04 would be easier I may give it a try as well
12:37 tcohen if I was you, I would actually pick Debian 9
12:38 auvajs well been using Ubuntu since more than 10 years and been totally used to it :)
12:38 tcohen fair enough, I like it as well
12:39 it is just that us devs test all the time on Debian
12:39 anyway, Koha is tested in Ubuntu as well
12:39 the wiki you pasted, it has a supported OS list
12:40 auvajs in this phase it's still possible for me to delete the VM instance and start all over, it will only take couple minutes
12:40 tcohen you can try
12:40 sudo cpanm -i Locale::Language@2.07
12:40 auvajs tcohen: well I run some other software/websites on the server, not only Koha
12:48 lmstrand Would any of you happen to know an easy way to get a time stamp printed in a me-friendly form like  12:36:07::xxx with milliseconds?
12:50 tcohen "printed"?
12:52 bdonnahue1 joined #koha
12:53 lmstrand to console
12:54 I want to see how much time has passed after stuff is finished.
12:54 thd joined #koha
12:54 tcohen are you trying to profile some Koha script/code?
12:55 lmstrand yes
12:55 I want to see how long my proxy server handles incoming SIP calls for.
12:55 tcohen https://wiki.koha-community.or[…]th_Devel::NYTProf
12:56 kohaputti lmstrand, why?
12:57 profiling is useful for optimizing your code but are you after that or something else
12:57 lmstrand it takes too long to handle multiple concurrent inputs and the time it takes to handle the requests just grows and grows.
12:58 I don't think I can use that in my case.
12:59 My script is separate from koha plugins
12:59 kohaputti I have not come across such issue with koha's sip2 server, maybe the issue is withing your proxy program?
12:59 lmstrand the problem is either in the api endpoint or in my proxy server
13:00 I could just skip the sip server processing altogether and return a dummy value and see if the processing time stays stable.
13:00 kohaputti lmstrand, did study socket programming yet? Maybe you are not closing the connection and the amount of available sip server gets to 0 and then it times out and only after that your proxy continues to work
13:01 lmstrand I'm closing the socket connection that the proxy server uses with the api endpoint after the message has been returned from the sip server.
13:02 But the one that passes messages from my proxy server to the sip server stays open, unless the sip server closes it.
13:03 kohaputti and that is your issue, isn't it?
13:03 you need to close the connection after being done with your business
13:03 lmstrand It can't be closed, otherwise the session gets closed with the sip server.
13:03 And the sip server requires a new login from the sip device
13:05 I'm inside a while loop, the one and only connection to the sipserver stays open for as long as the sipserver allows it to stay open.
13:07 the first message to the sip server to process, the one that logs in a sipdevice takes 150ms to process on my pc.
13:08 If I spam the sip server with the same message over and over again the processing time grows into over half a second.
13:10 and beyond.
13:14 kohaputti lmstrand, what you just said above is not how you are supposed to implement the proxy because it doesn't authenticate individual requests then, and also this is a bit off-topic for #koha
13:15 sophie_m joined #koha
13:15 lmstrand True that :D
13:16 I was just after a simple timestamp with milliseconds
13:19 inlibro joined #koha
13:23 Marie-Luce joined #koha
13:42 auvajs hello.. so I successfully installed koha :) now my first question.. it appears there are several libraries preinstalled. I want to delete them and have only "my" library. I managed to delete some of those that were set by the system but I can't delete some of them - "This library cannot be deleted. Patrons or items are still using it (9 patrons)." .. this is strange since I have no patrons or units at all -
13:42 it's a fresh new install!
13:43 ashimema cait, cait1, cait2.. any of you around?
13:43 oleonard auvajs it sounds like you installed the sample data
13:44 auvajs oleonard: well yes I checked all the buttons, lol
13:45 oleonard auvajs some of the sample data is general, like bibliographic frameworks. Other sample data is really only for testing, like patrons, libraries, etc.
13:45 auvajs you may want to drop and recreate the database and re-run the installer
13:46 auvajs oleonard: ok tnx I'll try this
13:47 oleonard auvajs you're in the Czech Republic?
13:47 auvajs is there some koha tool or do I need to manually delete it in the database?
13:47 oleonard: yes
13:48 * oleonard has visited a few times and loved it
13:48 auvajs oleonard: cool :)
13:49 oleonard I don't think there is a tool specifically for dropping and recreating the db, but there is a command that gives you a mysql shell
13:49 https://wiki.koha-community.or[…]packages#Database
13:52 auvajs since this is a fresh install maybe I can just delete the databse and run the installer again
14:00 tcohen drop the database and create an empty one
14:01 with the same name

14:25 #info Ashimema did a quick draft accessibility guideline to promote the use of  `.maincontent`
14:25 #link https://wiki.koha-community.or[…]Coding_Guidelines#.5BDRAFT.5D_ACC1:All_OPAC_pages_require_a_single.27block.27_with_the_.27.maincontent.27_class Draft Guideline
14:25 perhaps we can vote on it next meeting when we are more corate
14:25 tallerjoy.. did you get any further with terminology guidelines?
14:26 talljoy i did!
14:26 i sent the proposal on the koha-devel list.
14:26 TERM3: Inclusive Language
14:26 Use inclusive language that promotes a community where everyone feels they are represented.  Avoid terms that express or imply negative ideas that are racist, colonialist, or otherwise biased towards groups of people.  Refer to the terminology list for terms to use/avoid.
14:26 Example: Instead of using the term blacklist, use deny list which more accurately describes its function.
14:26 ashimema oops.. shows I missed it.. my bad
14:26 talljoy the email has explanations and resources for those interested in reading more.
14:27 ashimema #info Joy send a proposal for an Inclusive language guideline to the mailing lists
14:27 #info Use inclusive language that promotes a community where everyone feels they are represented.  Avoid terms that express or imply negative ideas that are racist, colonialist, or otherwise biased towards groups of people.  Refer to the terminology list for terms to use/avoid.
14:27 sounds great to me..
14:27 shall we vote on it.. or just add it as is
14:27 * ashimema is happy for the later.. I can't see anyone complaining ;)
14:28 talljoy i'm happy to add it to the wiki page

18:18 auvajs Is there a way how to set up which fields in the marc records are/are not required? I'm unable to save a record because there is some stupid field "Transcribing agency" which I don't want to fill in but in the same way I'm unable to save the record... I need to set this field not required..
18:19 or actually I want all fields not to be required since I will be mostly importing the records
18:20 caroline auvajs: Administration > MARC frameworks
18:20 choose your framework, click Actions > MARC structure
18:20 inlibro joined #koha
18:21 caroline Search for the field that you want to change, and either edit the field or the subfields, and remove the mandatory flag
18:21 wahanui joined #koha
18:21 auvajs caroline: well I tried to make a new framework with no obligatory fields but when I chose this framework and want to create a new unit by importing it.. there are still many mandatory fields
18:22 caroline you probably just removed the mandatory flag at the field level and there are still some subfields that are mandatory (or the opposite)
18:23 For example, I think transcribing agency is 040$c, maybe 040 is not mandatory, but 040$c is mandatory
18:24 auvajs caroline: ok I get this.. thank you :)
18:25 caroline :)
18:49 auvajs one more question.. when I want to import a book via Z39.50 the data looks totally garbled.. like this: 20090203d2008^^^^m^^y0czey0103^^^^||
18:50 is there a way how to make it human readable?
18:50 oleonard It looks garbled after importing it?
18:51 caroline that looks like 'raw' MARC, maybe?
18:51 auvajs oleonard: both in the search window and in Add MARC record page
18:52 oleonard I wonder if it could be a problem with the encoding setting in Z39.50 server administration?
18:53 caroline my hypothesis too
18:54 or maybe the type of MARC, like if you're trying to import UNIMARC?
18:56 auvajs the database should be in UTF and I also chose UTF encoding in the server settings
18:58 caroline maybe try MARC8 anyway, just to check...
18:58 (I don't trust Z39.50 server information)
18:59 auvajs I dont even have MARC8 option in the server settings
18:59 caroline oh, then iso something
19:00 auvajs MARC21/USMARC and it works well :)
19:01 caroline good!

19:18 mtompset Greetings, #koha.
19:18 @seen cait
19:18 huginn mtompset: cait was last seen in #koha 22 hours, 9 minutes, and 59 seconds ago: <cait> looks misaligned
19:18 mtompset @seen oleonard
19:18 huginn mtompset: oleonard was last seen in #koha 26 minutes and 35 seconds ago: <oleonard> I wonder if it could be a problem with the encoding setting in Z39.50 server administration?
19:19 auvajs btw is there a way how to have a list of all books in the database?
19:19 caroline you can go in Search > Item search and search for everything
19:19 or make a report
19:20 If you have a lot, the item search might be too slow and/or abort
19:20 then you're better with a report
19:20 inlibro joined #koha
19:21 mtompset I think dynamically loaded html/js via js doesn't run CSS right on mobile. :(
19:22 oleonard Can you elaborate mtompset?
19:22 auvajs caroline: is this in administration only? because I have no clue how to to this on the library homepage
19:23 mtompset To make 6815 easier to tweak/modify, I put the modal into its own .pl/.tt combination.
19:23 caroline auvajs: from the home screen, click on Search, it will bring you to Advanced search, but right under the title, it says Go to item search, click on that
19:23 mtompset And that gets dynamically loaded into the modal before it is displayed.
19:23 caroline don't put any limits and click search
19:24 mtompset But the js code for the webcam stuff runs wrong.
19:24 caroline for the report, it's in Reports > Guided reports
19:24 Make a report for the Catalogue with no limits, you should get everything
19:26 oleonard Sorry mtompset I'm interested in giving it a try but I've got to be afk for a while
19:27 auvajs caroline: http://knihovna.pravnickyslovnik.cz/ this is the library homepage.. maybe I'm blind but I don't see any Go to the item search :O
19:27 oleonard-away auvajs it's only in the staff interface
19:27 caroline ah, I was talking about the staff side
19:28 but from here, you can get everything in advanced search and check all the items types
19:28 auvajs is there a way how to make this accessible to the public?
19:28 caroline (you only have one, so if you do a search with no search term and check Knižní publikace , you should get everything
19:29 make sure you index your stuff though, I'm not getting any results
19:30 auvajs I didn't install cirussearch yet,  is this needed for indexing?
19:31 caroline I'm only familiar with zebra When you go in administration > Global system preferences > Search engine, what is the option that is selected?
19:32 auvajs Use following search engine: Zebra
19:33 caroline ok so then you need to use zebra to index
19:33 do you have access to the command line terminal?
19:34 auvajs caroline: yes
19:35 caroline ok, maybe someone else can help you with the specific commands... I've been told my installation is "vintage" and I don't use the same commands as everyone else, ;)
19:36 probably something like koha-rebuild-zebra
19:36 https://koha-community.org/faq[…]ch-stuff-up-help/
19:36 auvajs np :) I'm just trying to run this software for my mother's local parish library.. but maybe koha is too robust for this purposes
19:37 caroline If you understand this, it might be helpful too https://wiki.koha-community.or[…]bleshooting_Zebra
19:38 It's pretty advanced though
19:41 tcohen auvajs it looks like many records lack the title field
19:41 lisettelatah_ joined #koha
19:41 tcohen hence it is not building the line
19:41 link on the search results
19:41 caroline ooh, no title is not good...
19:42 tcohen http://knihovna.pravnickyslovn[…]pl?biblionumber=2
19:43 caroline I think this was a record that was imported with the wrong MARC format
19:44 the title seems to be in 300 instead of 245, and maybe the author is in 210 instead of 100
20:01 davidnind meeting?

20:28 aleisha HI!
20:29 #info Aleisha Amohia, Catalyst IT New Zealand
20:29 caroline #link https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]_bug.cgi?id=25803
20:29 huginn Bug 25803: major, P5 - low, ---, dcook, RESOLVED WONTFIX, Internet Explorer: unable to save patron edits or view patron checkouts
20:29 cait this one was marked resolved wontfix now
20:29 but i wondered if we should update the notes int he manual
20:29 i remember us deprecating... IE 7?
20:29 caroline I saw, but it's the one in the agenda...
20:29 cait oleonard: maybe you can help out?
20:30 yep, I added the topic, just trying to explain my thoughts there
20:30 the manual states: "When working in the Koha staff client it is strongly recommended that you use an up-to-date version of either Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome. Koha’s staff client may not work well in Microsoft Internet Explorer, especially older versions."
20:30 talljoy #info Joy Nelson, ByWater Solutions
20:31 oleonard I think what we're talking about is dropping support for the "Internet Explorer" product altogether
20:31 cait i'd not oppose
20:31 was just thinking we shoudl put things in writing somewhere
20:31 oleonard Since their "Edge" browser has been around for a while and now comes in a Chromium-based version too
20:31 cait we had bug 20062
20:31 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]_bug.cgi?id=20062 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, oleonard, CLOSED FIXED, Remove support for Internet Explorer 7 in the staff client
20:31 caroline I think the only opposition was from places where they are locked in Microsoft products
20:32 cait they would ahve Edge available to them now is what we think
20:32 as a Microsoft option
20:32 caroline ah ok
20:32 oleonard Edge was first released in 2015
20:33 cait should we propose makin git official?
20:33 no support for internet explorer for staff side?
20:33 talljoy yes please
20:34 oleonard +1
20:34 caroline no problem on our side
20:34 aleisha +1
20:34 cait +1
20:34 davidnind +1
20:34 lisettelatah +1
20:35 talljoy +1
20:35 davidnind Okay, we all agree we won't support it, should we officially announce to the mailing list? (any see what reaction there is, if any)
20:37 cait we could and then update the manual maybe?
20:37 oleonard I think that sounds good
20:37 caroline cait: what would you change in the manual? That it *doesn't work* with IE instead of it might not work?
20:38 cait it will probably take me a while
20:38 davidnind #info to announce IE 11 is no longer supported and update relevant areas, including the wiki and manual where required (davidnind)
20:38 caroline I don't mind chaging the manual, but I'm not sure what is wrong with the current sentence
20:39 cait i'd probably put in a 'internet explorer is not supported by the Koha Community.
20:39 or something like ti
20:39 or not officially supported?
20:39 caroline ok I can do that
20:40 davidnind caroline++
20:40 cait aleisha++ #string freeze
20:40 caroline++ thank you
20:40 caroline #action caroline will change the message in the manual saying that the staff side doesn't work with IE
