07:45 NikolayGospodinov[m] Hello. I want to ask how to change the reader for pdf files in Koha?
07:52 cait Koha doesn't include a reader for PDF files
07:52 itt comes from your system/browser addons
07:52 alohabot` joined #koha
07:52 cait Koha only links to PDF files - how they are opened is outside of the application
07:53 NikolayGospodinov[m] Ok, but is it possible to connect to link in the bibliographic record with my one reader

08:43 asif Help: Hi i am new koha 23.05 user i want to know when i enter record by clicking cataloging> Add MARC record please let me know about required field like 040$C Transcribing agency mandatory field what to write here or can i skip this field.
08:46 krimsonkharne[m] grr.. won't be able to join the Documentation Meeting today, too many projects open at the same time..
08:47 krimsonkharnesF43BIIowoNiL4p
08:47 whoops lol
08:48 asif: you can always check out the LOC info about a MARC field using the question mark link next to the field
08:48 here for instance: https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd040.html
08:48 "MARC code or the name of the organization that transcribed the record into machine-readable form. "
08:48 afaik it's usually the ISIL of the transcribing organization, which if you're the library transcribing the record, then it would be you
08:49 paulderscheid[m] krimsonkharne[m]: Welcome to the club krimsonkharne :D
08:49 krimsonkharne[m] lol
08:50 it'll be better after tomorrow. I'll follow the meeting notes :-)
08:53 LOC being one of the most important organs for MARC data, by the way.. at least MARC21.. always good to check their explanations asif
08:55 asif Krimsonkharne means LOC value will come here am i right?
08:55 aw-bib[m] I was actually wondering if it wouldn't be a good idea to have an uplink to LoC docs in the interface. the urls can be constructed like https://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd%s.html replacing %s by the field tag (which I use for ages as a search shortcut in ff)
08:57 krimsonkharne[m] asif: no, you would enter the MARC code or name of the organization that transcribed the data. I'm no librarian nor an expert, so I don't know if the field is even strictly necessary. Our clients often have the ISIL of the library from which they got MARC data in 040$c - for instance if I imported data from the german national library, it already has their ISIL in 040$a. But I don't know if it's necessary to fill the field with your own
08:57 ISIL if you're cataloguing yourself and not importing data.
08:58 g2g now.. later all!
08:59 NikolayGospodinov[m] Hello. I want to ask, is it possible to change the interface view of normal view?
09:08 davidnind Nikolay Gospodinov: If you know XSLT, you can customise - see the OPACXSLTDetailsDisplay system preference (I don't know anything about XSLT, so not much help I'm afraid)
09:14 aw-bib: for MARC21, the ? next to each tag in the record editor goes to the Library of Congress information (unless you have changed the MarcFieldDocURL system preference) (for UNIMARC, the link to IFLA no longer works properly since they updated their website a few years ago)
09:15 aw-bib[m] indeed! I missed the ? as a link. perfect! :)
09:15 cait aw-bib[m]: the link is also configurable, I think there might be a german translation now that is similarly structured
09:16 i usually prefer the English original :)
09:16 aw-bib[m] dito. usually translations tend to add confusion. ;)
09:31 cait they also tend to be more current
09:55 magnuse davidnind++
09:57 cait Joubu: I am going to test bug 33606 - anything I should know?
09:57 huginn 04Bug https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]_bug.cgi?id=33606 major, P5 - low, ---, jonathan.druart+koha, Pushed to master , Access to ERM requires parameters => 'manage_sysprefs'
09:59 Joubu you should know how to fix the FA problems
09:59 cait FA?
09:59 yarn build?
09:59 Joubu font awesome, the icons
09:59 "I've noticed some icons missing."
09:59 cait hm ok
10:00 not usre if I know where there have been icons before
10:00 I was just hoping to finally get this rolling because it blocks use of ERM in 23.05
10:01 I'll have a go
10:02 isit because we have the older FA in 23.05?
10:02 then I can probably figure it out
10:03 just git fetching, will start after lunch
10:11 krimsonkharne[m] back again..
10:13 <cait> "i usually prefer the English..." <- we tried configuring the link to use the DNB / German National Library MARC21 tag descriptions, it would have worked but unfortunately DNB has their tag descriptions in a PDF document, not on a website... so you can't really link to a specific tag in the PDF
10:13 at least, I can't ;-)

10:36 oleonard Hi #koha
10:39 asif joined #koha
10:41 asif anyone configured openssl on koha site i mean https who can help me koha 23.05 on ubuntu 22.04
10:44 cait krimsonkharne[m]: I think the kobv did something for the Alma libraries
10:45 that matches the LOC
10:45 but I didn't find it in a quick search earlier
10:45 krimsonkharne[m] oh, good to know.. I'll take a look
10:45 cait i'll check our wiki, maybe the link is hiding there :)
10:46 krimsonkharne[m] got it maybe?
10:46 https://www.alma-dach.org/alma[…]phic/001/001.html
10:46 cait ah
10:46 I think that's it
10:46 krimsonkharne[m] that's a great tip, thanks cait!
10:46 cait++
10:46 cait I am not sure if there are any Alma specifics in it
10:47 krimsonkharne[m] I'm sure we'll find out ;-)
10:47 cait possibly :)
10:47 if you have the link structure figured out, maybe you can share how to set the pref
10:47 i'd add that to our docs
10:52 krimsonkharne[m] hmm.. unfortunately it looks like you can only use a given placeholder once in the url in the pref MarcFieldDocURL
10:52 and the alma-dach links use the field number twice in the url
10:53 so if you add the following to the syspref:... (full message at <https://matrix.org/_matrix/med[…]HQeuzSdpPGvMpqfDY>)
10:55 wait
10:55 never mind
10:55 you can just open https://www.alma-dach.org/alma[…]rc/bibliographic/{FIELD}
10:55 yeah https://www.alma-dach.org/alma[…]rc/bibliographic/{FIELD} works just fine in MarcFieldDocURL
10:56 also alma-dach doesn't have koha specific fields like 942$
10:56 maybe we should do a koha-dach MARC21 tag descriptions website at some point... :-)
11:02 tcohen[m] morning #koha
11:03 cait krimsonkharne[m]: that's... not a half-bad idea :)
11:04 I was also hesitating to put alma branded links in my koha ;)
11:05 jzairo joined #koha
11:06 krimsonkharne[m] yeah, I see how it could lead to problems if the users don't know it's alma specific
11:06 cait: let's talk about it in our next koha-dach meeting, I'll put it on my agenda!
11:07 cait I am not sure if that one is or if the work is just funded by their user group
11:10 aw-bib[m] I wonder how kobv did it. I mean, I do not fully exclude that they had a very diligent librarian just hacking it down from the official dnb document, but maybe there is also some machine readable version at dnb. could be tath it's based on the xls sheet published by dnb at https://www.dnb.de/DE/Professi[…]/marc21_node.html
11:12 cait I could probably find out if needed
11:14 krimsonkharne++ btw :)
11:14 krimsonkharne[m] :)
11:15 aw-bib[m]: that would make sense
11:17 cait where did you see the machine readable one?
11:18 aw-bib[m] there is an xls packed into a zip-file.
11:18 cait ah ok
11:18 aw-bib[m] https://www.dnb.de/SharedDocs/[…]blicationFile&v=4
11:18 cait I hadn't opened it
11:18 thx!
11:19 aw-bib[m] :)
11:20 krimsonkharne[m] aw-bib++
11:20 cait it's nice to see the growig number of German users online here :)

12:53 ashimema marcelr around?
12:53 marcelr yes
12:53 go ahead
12:54 ashimema I'm not really sure what still needs doing on bug 29523
12:54 huginn 04Bug https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]_bug.cgi?id=29523 major, P5 - low, ---, martin.renvoize, BLOCKED , Add a way to prevent embedding objects that should not be allowed
12:54 marcelr yes i was just thinking the same actually :)
12:54 ashimema are you suggesting going through the specs and accepting 'Or null' and that would get us over the line?
12:54 or do you feel there's still more to do
12:54 marcelr i would not like to change specs now
12:55 there is perhaps more to do but perhaps  on follow-up ?
12:55 ashimema think I need some guidance on next steps.. happy to work on them but I'm out of ideas
12:55 marcelr just a bit worried on developer issues with mismatches between our subs and the specs
12:56 ashimema mm
12:56 marcelr we should not make life too much harder
12:56 and Joubu's remark about doing it on embeds only
12:57 ashimema mm.. I kinda feel like that's what we're actually doing already.. though not deliberately
12:57 maybe I'm wrong
12:57 i'm going on memory rather than having looked at the code again
12:58 marcelr we make very limited use now of accessible/redact; so the current stand does not harm
12:58 and can be fine tuned later?
12:58 ashimema mmm, though I totally get where you're coming from wanting to get it all done
12:59 I'm just also aware this has held up other devs (or opened up security leaks in other bugs by not being here yet) for a couple of years already
12:59 marcelr yeah we need to push a version now before friday
12:59 ashimema not quite 2 years.. but only a month off.
12:59 good guess
13:00 marcelr i dont think that a hasty overhaul now will make us more happy
13:00 i am inclined to pass qa now
13:00 ashimema agreed
13:01 I am tempted to add some additional documentation into the top of the spec file.. to clarify 'public' vs 'accessible' as it were
13:01 for consumers
13:01 marcelr that would be helpful
13:01 ashimema we don't really describe out behaviour at all yet
13:01 marcelr please add it
13:02 ashimema we just implement it without
13:02 I'll do that now.. I have an hour before me next meeting
13:02 marcelr i will still think about it too and pqa after
13:02 ashimema maybe just documenting it will help clarify in my own mind what's outstanding and if that outstanding is 'NOW' or 'Can wait, with commitment to follow up'
13:02 thanks
13:06 oleonard I could use advice on how to update my patches moving sysprefs to additional_contents
13:06 I'm not sure what is the correct way to get the insert id from the additional_contents insert for the additional_contents_localization insert
13:08 If anyone knows an example to point me to...?
13:10 Joubu oleonard: bug number?
13:11 oleonard Bug 34894
13:11 huginn 04Bug https://bugs.koha-community.or[…]_bug.cgi?id=34894 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, oleonard, Needs Signoff , Convert OpacSuppressionMessage system preference to HTML customization
13:11 jzairo_ joined #koha
13:11 Joubu marcelr: looks like it already works for embed only
13:12 it does not affect /patrons/{patron_id}
13:12 oleonard: git grep last_insert_id
13:13 marcelr i was testing it with libraries and it affects /libraries (also without embed)
13:13 Joubu oleonard: If I understand correctly what you are looking for
13:13 marcelr look at the code; there is a loop for fields and embeds
13:20 oleonard Thanks Joubu
13:23 Joubu oleonard: IIRC the best is the retrieve the ID. Apparently you have the 3 values for the primary key, so you could fetch it
13:24 The problem is that last_insert_id will retrieve the last inserted ID, but if the query before failed, you get a wrong one
13:25 otoh the upgrade should crash if the INSERT failed. But if later we add 'IGNORE' to the insert, it could be problematic (to confirm...)
13:26 oleonard Okay
13:39 ashimema we do use some 'search_limited' stuff I think.. adding this stuff in does confuse that.. we're going to end up with searches that limit and embeds that don't.. I think?
13:40 and 404's on direct get where we might now want a redacted object instead
13:40 but I still think maybe we should go with what we've got and add next steps to the roadmap for the next cycle
13:40 I feel like a lot will become more achievable with a switch to OpenAPI3+
13:40 right now we're missing a lot of validation because OpenAPI2/Swagger simply doesn't support it.
13:46 caroline Someone asked me in private what is 040$c but when I answered, the nick doesn't exist anymore... so here is my answer for the logs, in case anyone searches for 040$c
13:46 Normally, 040$c contains your library's code. It's mostly useful if you share records, so that other libraries know who catalogued the record. You can remove the mandatory flag in Administration > MARC bibliographic framework > Default framework (or other) > MARC structure > 040 > Edit subfields > c > uncheck Mandatory > Save
13:54 marcelr ashimema will take a last dive in the wonderous world of api embedding :)
13:55 could use a dive cert
13:55 ashimema PADI1
13:55 🙂
13:57 marcelr Peptidyl arginine deiminase ?
13:59 * ashimema was thinking of https://www.padi.com
13:59 marcelr sure lol
14:00 * marcelr so glad to have entered the first reference to Peptidyl in our irc logs :)
14:01 ashimema lol
14:23 caroline I'm looking at the weblate interface and it seems easy to search by "location" (i.e. manual chapter) to translate only that one chapter and the strings seem to be in order of the chapter rather than alpahbetical https://snipboard.io/LQW84m.jpg
14:24 not that I want to relaunch what seemed to be a controversial discussion lol
14:30 marcelr ashimema: in the API we call search_limited if it is available  (Plugin/Objects.pm:            $result_set = $result_set->search_limited, if $result_set->can('search_limited');)
14:31 ashimema indeed
14:32 that's where I'm a bit opaque at the minute.. it sort of hides some things.. but in a rather different way
14:32 by limiting the search scoping
14:32 meeting time for me now.. be back in about an hour
14:32 marcelr see you later

15:22 cait yes, but just packing up
15:22 soemthing quick?
15:23 caroline depends... I just wanted to let you know that we now have the kohacon website at the https://2024.kohacon.org/ domain
15:23 if you could change it on the website, but it's really not urgent
15:24 cait can you remind me tomorrow maybe?

18:16 caroline cait1++ thanks!
18:17 davidnind, thanks! I couldn't find it in the archives so I sent it again. It's not the first time this happens, I'm not sure why it does
18:18 davidnind thta would be very annoying!
19:12 oleonard We could simplify the licenses tab a lot to avoid those translation issues. For example: https://snipboard.io/QitqwD.jpg
