06:41 reiveune hello
06:54 ashimema anyone fancy checking my test here: https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]attachment=155879
06:55 I'm baffled as to why the second Mock doesn't appear to take effect and the tests after that line fail because of it
07:00 lds joined #koha

07:03 dcook ashimema: Well I can't speak to it too much but I notice C4/Letters.pm is expecting RedirectGuaranteeEmail to be "yes"
07:03 Which makes me wonder if setting it to "1" earlier was really doing what you wanted it to
07:04 Unless I'm looking at the wrong patch
07:04 I'm trying to do something else atm and I should be leaving the office
07:04 * dcook just dies...
07:04 ashimema Hehe, yeah
07:04 There's a later patch that corrects that.. it was highlighted by the tests actually.
07:04 dcook Ah yeah I see now in https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]attachment=155883 that expectation was changed
07:04 ashimema Yes no prefs set 1/0 not yes/no.. hehe
07:05 dcook That sort of thing has driven me nuts over the years haha
07:05 ashimema Lol, totally
07:05 dcook Always seems like I'm doing the opposite of what it's supposed to be
07:05 ashimema At least we're consistent now..
07:05 dcook Looking at t/lib/Mocks.pm and I don't know why it's not working like you'd think
07:06 ashimema It works like that everywhere else.. I often use this style in my tests
07:06 Feels like there is some funky caching going on somewhere that I'm missing
07:06 dcook That's what I was just thinking
07:07 I was going to say "Happy Monday" but it's Tuesday...
07:07 ashimema Hehe

07:32 magnuse__ \o/
07:55 magnuse seems like the translated pref pages can be quite easily broken by small errors in translations
07:56 cait what kind of small errors?
08:04 ashimema We've had that
08:04 I had to reset the whole thing to get us back
08:08 magnuse cait: that's the problem it's really hard to tell what causes it
08:08 ashimema: reset? start the translation from scratch?
08:11 ashimema We had all sorts of issues in enGb
08:11 So I ended up doing a full reset on the server
08:12 I did a bunch of offline translation too though.. can only do that with server access though. It's a pain
08:13 We keep getting arabic translations merged into ours for some reason
08:13 and the pref names creep into the pref values
08:13 it's really odd
08:16 magnuse yeah
08:32 cait hm if you see the arabic again, let me know
08:32 maybe some user with wrong permissions?
08:37 magnuse: are you doing offline transaltions as well?
08:37 ashimema no-one can do offline translation
08:37 they end up as suggestions
08:48 magnuse i do offline translations for norwegian, but the problem with the prefs is in the swedish translation. i think they only use pootle
08:49 (and yes, i have to accept the suggestions, 100 at a time)

13:18 caroline oleonard, do I have to do something after applying the patch for bug 33499?
13:18 huginn 04Bug https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]_bug.cgi?id=33499 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, oleonard, Needs Signoff , Make interface URL clickable on vendor details
13:19 caroline I still had my tab open from yesterday (a perk of never closing my tabs lol) I applied the patch and did Ctrl+F5 on my vendor page but the link is not clickable
13:20 oleonard caroline: I don't think I had to turn something on, but maybe I have something already turned on in preferences?
13:20 caroline oh wait I think I know
13:20 My tab was in French
13:20 facepalm
13:22 I think it's going to be one of those days...
13:22 oleonard I've done the same thing!
14:04 angelic joined #koha
14:19 * cait sends caroline the cookie jar
14:19 cait maybe share with oleonard :)
14:19 caroline thanks you!
14:19 cait someone seen tcohen today? :)
14:20 caroline I still have some creamy moo-moos left :)
14:21 cait that's shows you are a very strong person
14:21 much stronger than me!
14:21 caroline nah, it was in my luggage that I only received two days ago
14:22 (finally!!)
14:22 cait oh noes!
14:22 caroline the moo-moos were intact, don't worry! ;)
14:24 angelic Hi caroline Hi cait. I want to ask something here but I have to show a picture. How can I upload a picture in irc?
14:24 caroline angelic, no, i usually use snipboard
14:24 cait what caroline said :)
14:24 caroline paste the picture here and send the link on irc https://snipboard.io/
14:24 hello by the way! :)
14:24 angelic caroline: Thank you
14:25 cait caroline: I hope the rest of your stuff was intact as well!
14:26 caroline yes, one piece of clothing was inexplicably wet (but nothing else was), but everything else was there
14:26 oleonard ???
14:26 caroline I had pretty much lost hope I would ever see all that stuff again
14:26 oleonard Some airline employee stole something to go for a swim in?
14:27 caroline I think it might have rained or something? It was the clothing that was at the bottom, closest to the wheels
14:28 I don't know... I don't know how you can lose a luggage for three weeks and miraculously find it again, so I won't try to understand the wet clothing
14:28 cait maybe they sent the suitcase for a swim and that's where the leak is?
14:28 just ... wash it?
14:29 caroline yeah I put everything in the was as soon as I got it. I was going to anyway
14:29 *wash
14:31 cait I am glad it turned up, but better they not lose it next time!
14:31 caroline I was very happy to have my nalsbinding needle back! (and all my knitting stuff that I thought would be deemed too "dangerous" on the plane) I'm excited to learn this new technique
14:33 on another subject, I need an idea for an example of additional field for orders
14:33 I'm preparing my update webinar and I can't think of an IRL use case for this
14:33 angelic I want to get a special  label for one of our customer. Here is the details : https://snipboard.io/OspTi9.jpg
14:34 caroline angelic, the extra call number?
14:34 angelic yes
14:35 caroline which field is it in?
14:35 angelic And the stars before and after the barcode value
14:35 caroline I don't think you'll be able to add the stars
14:38 angelic The label in the right hand side was made in version 21.11.04. Now I want to do the same thing in version 22.11.04 but ı couldnt :(
14:39 nugged joined #koha
14:40 caroline joined #koha
14:41 angelic caroline: which field is it in? it is in 952o
14:41 caroline so itemcallnumber, and the other one? is it in a different field?
14:43 angelic other one is in 952f field
14:44 caroline I don't know this one, is it mapped to a database field?
14:44 oleonard angelic: I'm curious, are you recreating the label in 22.11.04 or does the existing configuration from 21.11.04 not work in 22.11.04
14:45 angelic oleonard: Yes I am creating a new label
14:46 caroline ok by default, 952$f is mapped to items.coded_location_qualifier
14:46 oleonard Are you using the exact same settings as before?
14:46 caroline So i think just adding coded_location_qualifier to the list of fields should do it
14:46 angelic It was created in older version by our ex-employee. Now I want to do the same thing in new version and I have to start from the begining
14:48 my layout is like this : https://snipboard.io/EledZ2.jpg
14:50 caroline I don't think ALT type is right? I think it should be BARBIB, no?
14:53 angelic It was ALT in older version so I did the same thing !!
14:54 caroline ALT is one label will have the barcode and the next label will have the callnumber, etc.
14:54 BARBIB is the barcode and other info on the same label
14:54 Although I'm not sure how you got what you got with ALT
14:54 angelic Let me change and try
15:00 Whan I look at detail of layout 22 I saw the layout type like here :https://snipboard.io/1RXyEj.jpg
15:01 But in Currently available layouts list Print Type is shown as ALT
15:02 caroline yes, to change it, it's Barcode precedes bibliographic information (or something like that)
15:05 cait left #koha
15:08 caroline I tried in in master and to get the callnumber and materials, I had to write "itemcallnumber materials", coded_location_quallifier
15:09 https://snipboard.io/C8MQ35.jpg
15:10 I think maybe the tag$subtag format is only for record-level tags (i.e. not 952)
15:15 angelic Yes you are right. She (the ex-employee) created a new barcode type CODE128
15:16 caroline oleonard, do you know if there is a bug to add padding around the yellow buttons like https://snipboard.io/aNFQWT.jpg
15:16 oleonard That should be fixed now. You may need to run 'yarn build'
15:17 caroline alright! thanks!
15:17 angelic, indeed, I didn't have code128. Maybe that is what adds the stars
15:21 angelic Yes I think so too caroline. But I did every changes that was made on the older version. The only difference is a module which is not exist in new version. Name of the module  is  GetMarcBiblio
15:21 reiveune bye
15:21 reiveune left #koha
15:22 caroline it probably changed names
15:22 angelic I don't know exactly the function of this module
15:22 caroline it is a bit beyond my knowledge too
15:23 angelic :(
15:23 thanks caroline
15:24 caroline good luck with the rest!
15:50 Joubu @later tell fridolin you should watch the rel_23_05_candidate kw

16:34 Joubu @later tell RudyHinojosa[m] Hi! A couple of weeks ago I've asked you a question about lrms, in case you have not seen it I am asking again :) There it is: https://irc.koha-community.org[…]3-08-30#i_2505244
16:34 huginn Joubu: The operation succeeded.
17:19 oleonard Should I be able to pick a date in the past when setting a password expiration date for a patron? The process seems to silently fail
18:07 caroline oleonard-away, are you asking technically or philosophically?
18:08 maybe if you want it to be expired you should be able to set it in the past, although I don't know if anyone would do that
18:08 in any case, it should not silently fail for sure, either don't fail or loudly fail! XD
19:39 oleonard still around?
19:54 DIGITALBITS[m] Hi, i am new to Koha. In the last two months I have been playing arround with it and i think we are ready to prepare our production server.
19:54 My concern is about using LTS version or the lastest release 23.05
19:55 According to some documentation found on the Koha Wiki by the next year November a new LTS will be available.
19:56 I am an IT Administrator, not a librarian. I have my lab developping environment with Koha 23.05
19:58 caroline DIGITALBITS[m], welcome! What is your question exactly? To install 22.11, 23.05 or wait for 24.11?
20:00 cait @later tell fridolin look at bug 33606 please
20:00 huginn cait: The operation succeeded.
20:00 DIGITALBITS[m] caroline: What is the recommendation, setup production with 22.11 (I guess this is LTS at moment) or it does not matter and i can setup production with 23.05?
20:01 cait you can do wahtever
20:01 if you have tested 23.05 well already and it has features you need, you can still jump on an LTS later
20:01 caroline DIGITALBITS[m], I am not a sys admin, so maybe someone else should chime in, but my understanding is that if you think you will be updating fairly regularly, 23.05 is fine. If you think you will not be updating for a while, then get the lts
20:02 cait also good advice
20:02 the LTS is aimed for people that don't want to update often and we make sure they still get bug fixes and security patches
20:03 you can always jump forward as many versions as you want, one version or multiple (but not backwards :) ) - so if you later decide you want to do lts to lts, you still can
20:04 caroline cait++ thanks for the translation patch
20:04 cait you are very welcome :)
20:04 caroline will test in a bit
20:04 I'm writing another translation bug report :(
20:06 cait a bug is the first step to a fix
20:07 caroline: you forgot to set SO on bug 33499 :)
20:07 huginn 04Bug https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]_bug.cgi?id=33499 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, oleonard, Needs Signoff , Make interface URL clickable on vendor details
20:07 caroline whoops, thanks for fixing it
20:07 I was not very awake this morning...
20:08 DIGITALBITS[m] <caroline> "DIGITALBITS, I am not a sys..." <- Our librarians will start tomorrow with getting to know with Koha, one of them has already some experience with Koha. This discussion of wether to use Ubuntu in LTS and Koha in LTS or just keep with 23.05 because it is working fine. We use UNIMARC by the way.
20:10 cait I'll QA it now :)
20:10 I am also not very awake so this works
20:10 caroline DIGITALBITS[m], If 23.05 works well and you think you can update at least every 18 months, I'd say go for it
20:11 cait did you see the table in the wiki?
20:12 https://wiki.koha-community.or[…]i/Koha_Versioning
20:13 DIGITALBITS[m] caroline: It seems that technically does not make so much difference. I will discuss with my team tomorrow.
20:13 cait 23.05 will be maintained until nov 2024
20:15 DIGITALBITS[m] cait: Yes, after reading this i got more confused because 23.11 will be out in a month or 2 and 23.05 will become an old maintenad.
20:17 cait what is confusing about it?
20:17 it will move on from stable to oldstable
20:17 because there will be a newer version to maintain too - we always maintain 4 versions in parallel
20:17 and one is always the LTS
20:18 well sometimes we maintain 2 LTS - to allow some overlap for jumping from one to the other
20:19 I'll be happy to try and explain better, but need to undestand the issue first
20:19 DIGITALBITS[m] cait: If you want to want to run the most bug-free release of Koha at any given time you should track the oldoldstable branch.
20:19 and this:
20:19 If you prefer to run a version for a longer time with less major updates, the LTS version might be your choice.
20:19 cait caroline: should we open the interface link in a new tab? (adding a target blank as it's an external url?)
20:20 caroline cait, yes it's a good idea
20:20 since it's outside Koha
20:20 cait the oldest will have the least bugs I think is the logic here
20:20 and if you want to hold out longer on a version an LTS
20:20 it's recommending different versions
20:22 caroline Should we add what is oldstable and oldoldstable in the table in the wiki? Maybe that would make it clearer for new people
20:24 cait i have updated the codenames section just now
20:24 it was slightly wrong
20:28 caroline: also updated the table now
20:28 wonder if that's better?
20:29 DIGITALBITS[m] <caroline> "Should we add what is oldstable..." <- Indeed
20:29 cait please check the wiki now
20:30 DIGITALBITS[m] cait: Sure it´s better.
20:34 aleisha hello
20:34 caroline I think now it's less clear that in may 2026 we switch from 22.11 to 24.11
20:35 I like the staggered view
20:40 cait labelling gets harder then - but feel free to experiment
20:42 or maybe I have an idea
20:42 caroline ok I did, what do you think?
20:43 cait lol, yep
20:43 that's was the idea :)
20:43 best of both worlds!
20:44 caroline teamwork++
20:46 cait caroline++
20:46 caroline cait++
20:49 DIGITALBITS[m] <caroline> "I think now it's less clear that..." <- It means that 24.11 will be the only LTS at that time.
20:50 I think is fine now.
20:51 I can show to the team that takes maintains Applications very clearly the time interval that they should be upgrading.
20:51 May we choose LTS or not
22:54 davidnind Oh no! Bugzilla is down - no sign-offs for me this morning, I'm sure I can find something else to do... 🙃
22:57 It's back up again - should have waited!
23:35 khall joined #koha
23:47 tcohen[m] Is anyone heavily using the wiki?
23:48 I want to apply some security patches on the server
23:49 Done
23:49 :-D

23:56 I've started seeing confirmed Wiki account requests coming through, from about the 15th - touchwood, that means email is working OK now
