09:36 kmlussier berick: We were just looking at bug 1029591. It looks like it was left in limbo back in January when I posted a comment that it didn't seem to work when canceling at the copy level.

09:37 kmlussier berick: I think our libraries would love to see this feature in Evergreen if we could just get that one minor issue ironed out.

09:45 berick kmlussier: so, i would consider the fact that the lineitem as a whole is not canceled when the last LID is canceled a separate issue.
09:45 berick one for which I'd be happy to apply a fix
09:45 * berick also considers Tim's comments a separate issue
09:45 kmlussier berick++
09:46 kmlussier berick: I think Tim's comments are already addressed in another bug.

09:55 berick kmlussier: i assume the LI would just adopt the cancel_reason of the last-canceled item?
09:56 berick even though the copies themselves may have a variety of cancel reasons..
09:57 BigRig joined #evergreen
09:57 BigRig_ joined #evergreen
09:57 berick hm, or do we need a new cancel reason, "OMG, All My Copies Are Gone!?!"
09:58 kmlussier berick: Just checked with my acq person. Could it list all the cancel reasons?
10:00 berick kmlussier: so, my main question is, we need to cancel the lineitem too, and a lineitem can only have 1 cancel reason
10:00 berick there's no reason the UI can't show all of the copy cancel reasons, but that's a separate question, i think
10:00 kmlussier Sure. I'll have to get back to you. I just hopped on to a conference call.

10:15 Rogan_Ni joined #evergreen
10:16 paxed Q: where do the surveys show up in OPAC? i created a survey but didn't see it anywhere in action.
10:17 rfrasur I thought surveys were only in the staff client/user edit
10:17 paxed so where do they show up there? :)
10:23 eeevil paxed: at patron registration. in the olden days (pre-1.0), we had a little opac widget that showed random surveys. I'd like to see that come back
10:24 paxed so the surveys cannot be answered anymore?
10:24 kmlussier joined #evergreen
10:25 jboyer-isl joined #evergreen
10:28 rfrasur paxed: my understanding, and this is old understanding that might have been wrong in the beginning - was you could set it up whenever and when it went into effect, it'd alert you when you went into the patron account.
10:28 * rfrasur has never used it.
10:28 Meliss1 joined #evergreen
10:28 * rfrasur will do a lil test
10:29 paxed i only quickly glanced at the UI today (and filed bug 1199626)

10:30 CarrieC joined #evergreen
10:31 rfrasur hmm, there is an OPAC survey radio button.  I'll check a couple things then.
10:34 rfrasur yeah, I'm not entirely sure how you're even supposed to add questions to the thing.
10:34 paxed just open the survey after you've added it, and at the bottom of that you can add questions and answers.
10:34 pinesol_green [evergreen|Thomas Berezansky] Simplified pull list: More name options - <http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=​Evergreen.git;a=commit;h=a1344fa>
10:35 rfrasur I'm in 2.2 and there's nothing down there that says add anything.  Just a blank field for questions and answers.
10:35 paxed ah... if the survey active right now? if it is, you can't change it
10:35 paxed is*
10:36 paxed (i made that error yesterday)
10:36 rfrasur ahh, okay, let me try again
10:36 rfrasur ;-)
10:37 bshum I make that mistake all the time.  Darned surveys.
10:38 bshum remingtron: I saw what you said in the backlog.  I've been preoccupied trying to get back into IRC, but I'll take a quick look if someone else hasn't gotten there yet.
10:38 paxed the UI really should say "The survey is active right now, and cannot be changed." or whatever.
10:39 rfrasur So, there's only the option for free responses?
10:39 remingtron bshum: actually, I forgot that dbwells already pushed it, so it is all set. Thanks though!
10:40 bshum remingtron: Cool deal.
10:45 mllewellyn joined #evergreen
10:46 rfrasur paxed: I created a brief survey that I then backdated to begin today (probably should backdate it to begin yesterday though just incase there's a timestamp that makes a diff).  Didn't see it show up in the OPAC or staff client.  BTW, just discovered there's a "survey" item in the "other" menu in the staff client patron account (nothing showed up in there).  Will try once more w/ a broader date range.
10:46 zerick joined #evergreen
10:47 rfrasur oh, I see something else I did wrong.
10:48 rfrasur also, there's a date picker in survey edit screen, but not in the initial set-up
10:51 paxed like i commented on the bug i filed.
10:51 dbwells grabbing 0803
10:52 rfrasur yeah, just commenting on observations.  I did backdate and nothing showed up in the staff client patron editor...or anywhere else that I poked around in.
10:53 paxed might be it was waylaid when we moved from jspac to tpac...?
10:53 rfrasur but would that effect the staff client?
10:53 paxed no idea as i don't know where it showed up there.
10:54 CarrieC1 joined #evergreen
10:55 rfrasur paxed: have you created any more bug reports related to surveys?
10:55 kmlussier berick: In lieu of a new LI cancel reason of "multiple" (or, as you suggest, OMG, All My Copies Are Gone!?!), I think using the reason from the last-canceled copy makes sense. In most cases, I imagine the cancel reasons would be the same.
10:55 paxed rfrasur: no. i hadn't paid any attention to them before yesterday.
10:55 rfrasur okay
10:55 paxed rfrasur: so, to the bug mobile! go file a bug :)
10:56 rfrasur yup, I'm there...looking at the calendar issue first.  Do you think having the date picker there would address the format prob?
10:56 paxed yes
10:57 bradl joined #evergreen
10:57 paxed the dijit DateTimePicker (or whatever it is) does l10n correctly
10:57 rfrasur okay

11:03 rfrasur tada - 1st bug report
11:03 rfrasur (do I get a cookie or something?)
11:06 paxed @praise rfrasur
11:06 * pinesol_green the upgrade came off brilliantly, and it's all because of rfrasur
11:06 rfrasur better than a cookie.  thank you.
11:07 phasefx rfrasur: you may need to restart the client after creating surveys; I think it pulls some of that stuff during login
11:08 remingtron rfrasur++ #congrats on first big report! keep it up!
11:08 rfrasur phasefx: I'll give a try.
11:08 rfrasur I did clear the cache, but it might not have been enough.
11:08 phasefx the view under Other is read-only.  I think the patron editor and offline patron registration is the only other places they show up
11:09 * paxed hopes for several utf-8 related fixes in -m2 ... :P
11:10 rfrasur testing
11:11 rfrasur (an automatic reload when saving configuration would be nice as well)
11:13 rfrasur okay...the read only did show up...
11:13 rfrasur ty phasefx. hunting around still.
11:15 phasefx rfrasur: automatic reloads may be trickier than you might think, if you expect all of your workstations to instantly get changes like that.  At the time, the mindset was that a lot of these changes were supposed to be treated as big deals and not on the fly tinkering.  I'd like instant updates, though
11:15 rfrasur and it's in the patron registration, but not in the patron acct editor...registration and offline registration.
11:16 rfrasur phasefx: yeah, I understand...and I tend to do a lot more on-the-fly things anyway.  the whole break it and ask questions later.
11:16 phasefx rfrasur: library settings are the biggest area where you need staff client restarts
11:17 rfrasur good to know...and it makes sense.
11:17 phasefx though that wouldn't be difficult for an auto-refresh for that specific workstation.. just broadcasting it out to everyone, that's trickier
11:17 rfrasur but, what about OPAC visibility.  that doesn't seem to work at all.
11:18 rfrasur well, for our lib, it'd be just as easy to do individual restarts.  We have 4 staff computers.
11:18 phasefx used to be autogen.sh would need to be run for stuff like that, but now I think there's perl code caching org unit data
11:18 dbs Pretty much everything is "OPAC visible" in the staff client, no?
11:18 phasefx so you may need to restart or reload apache, and/or restart OpenSRF services, for an OPAC visiblity change to get noticed.  I'm not sure
11:19 Dyrcona gmcharlt: I have a list of name authorities that every 20th to 50th record throws up a MARC::Charset error.
11:19 rfrasur lol, I don't have the ability to restart or reload apache or OpenSRF
11:19 phasefx dbs: yeah, I think so
11:19 Dyrcona gmcharlt: You want me to compress that file and just send it to you?
11:19 phasefx rfrasur: so yeah, "big deals", even if there is a UI for it
11:21 kmlussier acq++ #Hearing positive reports on how smoothly our fiscal year close-outs are going. :)
11:21 rfrasur none of our local libraries do.  and it seems like it'd be pretty impractical to even use the surveys if that's what we have to do...we'd have to set it up locally and then have server admins restart/reload services to push it out through OPAC
11:22 gmcharlt Dyrcona: yes
11:22 dbwells grabbing 0804
11:23 phasefx rfrasur: sorry, I think I may have misunderstood you.  When you said OPAC visiblity, I was thinking about the the flag on orgs in the org tree
11:23 phasefx not on surveys
11:23 berick kmlussier++ # yay!
11:24 rfrasur phasefx: ahh, yes.  Surveys.  There's a radio button that says "OPAC survey?" but then nothing shows up in the OPAC that I could find.  I'd assume that it'd be something that'd show up in the patron's online acct.  Of course, assuming is probably a bad idea.
11:25 phasefx rfrasur: no, as eeevil was saying, there used to be a feature that would make use of that, but now it's just cruft, does nothing
11:25 phasefx would like to see it do something again
11:25 rfrasur and that WAS because of jspac > tpac?
11:25 phasefx well, more like prototype -> jspac
11:25 rfrasur (which makes sense to me...as much as anything else does)
11:26 acoomes joined #evergreen
11:26 phasefx was a developer itch, but I don't think it was something PINES was pushing for, so it didn't land in jspac
11:27 rfrasur personally, I don't have any desire to do a survey through the OPAC.  I think it'd cheese some people off and confuse some others.  But, if that's the case, and maybe it's already addressed in later versions, that needs to be removed from the UI
11:28 Dyrcona gmcharlt: If you have a test version of MARC::Charset that you'd like me to try, just let me know.
11:28 gmcharlt Dyrcona: soon
11:29 Dyrcona cool
11:29 phasefx rfrasur: I think the only reason for us to even want to implement over just using a dedicated javascript library is the js-lite mandate for the TPAC
11:30 phasefx if people wanted that functionality
11:30 phasefx yeah, better to hide or remove the option for the timebeing
11:31 rfrasur phasefx++

11:46 rfrasur Just so you know, not only do I not know how to program, I also do not know how to fix the a/c here or get the printer to work or much of anything else, and apparently today is meeting day for all our service people.  BUT the internet does work...and the electricity.

11:55 rfrasur well, that...yes.  But we never turned it off on purpose.
11:56 finnx joined #evergreen
11:57 phasefx rfrasur: programmers and catalogers :)
11:58 phasefx get you on the details
11:59 rfrasur phasefx: I like details.  They make the broader, more ambiguous stuff.  Like knowing what the labels on the circuit panel AND knowing that there's a secondary circuit panel makes understanding why the A/C isn't working that much easier.
12:00 * phasefx is with you
12:00 paxed dbwells: re commit a7b06d1, i don't think the oils_i18n_gettext() is really necessary in upgrade scripts, as all it does is pass the 2nd parameter through, and the separate python script is used to grab those for gettext during make.

12:01 * rfrasur takes a deep breath (of air conditioned air) and decides to get over it.
12:01 dbwells paxed: thanks, good to know.  I already pushed it, and I think there is some value in being consistent in any case, but something to think about for the future.
12:01 csharp has anyone hacked marc_export so that *only* the chosen library's holdings are attached to the marc record and not *all* holdings?
12:01 bshum Someday I should go fix all our IDs in coded_value_map.  Totally messed me up when working on that one.
12:02 finnx joined #evergreen
12:02 bshum Since our IDs don't seem to match what's in master.
12:02 bshum csharp: Yes.
12:02 * csharp wishes ids weren't hard-coded anywhere ever
12:02 bshum csharp: I think I showed you how to do that a few months ago...
12:02 csharp oh yeah?
12:02 paxed dbwells: well, perhaps sometime in the future we'll handle the oils_i18n_gettext differently, ...
12:02 bshum csharp: Well, not in a happy nice way, but a hacky not so nice way
12:03 csharp ha
12:03 bshum Let me go poke at some of our custom scripting.
12:04 csharp bshum: thanks ;-)
12:05 * csharp 's memory of that exchange comes back
12:05 bshum csharp: http://open-ils.org/irc_logs/evergreen/20​12-11/%23evergreen.05-Mon-2012.log#line66
12:05 bshum Was faster looking for the IRC entry :)
12:06 bshum Looks like I didn't paste you a full copy though.
12:06 bshum I'll try to do that now... once I get a copy going...
12:07 csharp bshum: excellent - thanks for bearing with my faulty memory
12:07 * csharp only gets tapped to do marc stuff every so often
12:08 bshum For some reason, my brain is just filled with old IRC discussions and LP tickets now.
12:08 bshum So don't take it as a good sign for me either.
12:10 bshum csharp: http://pastie.org/8128499 is an example of something I run for one of our school libraries.
12:10 kmlussier csharp: More on Vandelay uploads. In our case, I think central site staff gets the large files from vendors and then breaks them up into the smaller batches.
12:10 bshum Ack, I just realized that has a custom 949 holding entry instead of 852...
12:10 bshum But basically around line 402 is the new addition that forces it to look at just a specific library's shortname for holding info.
12:11 bshum And it skips other CNs and copies
12:11 laque|3 joined #evergreen
12:11 bshum I think we wanted to show all holdings including opac invisible ones for that extract, so line 405 is commented out.  But you can change that too.
12:12 bshum Hacky, but it works so I haven't gotten deeper towards changing it up or adding better option support.  Yet.
12:16 csharp kmlussier: thanks for that - I'm seeing if the vendor can chop them up
12:16 csharp in this case, it's a huge "base file" - I don't think the regular updates will be nearly this large
12:16 csharp but I don't know ;-)
12:17 csharp and right now I'm just verifying that the files load at all - we'll have to start playing with matching soon too ;-)
12:18 * eeevil returns and reads up
12:18 eeevil bshum: lemme look now
12:25 eeevil bshum: so, I think your patch is a step in the right direction. if we want to support "use the original circ rule but give the desk location credit" in the future I can see a couple ways to build that.  one way would be to (at some future date) 1) move global flag to YAOUS 2) add a second YAOUS for "original rule" that defaults to true. that would preserve the semantics you're encoding but allow finer grained control.  there are other ways, but
12:25 eeevil would probably require ripping out your semantics entirely.  do you see my possible future as a useful extension if it ends up being desirable?
12:26 eeevil s/default to true/defaults to the equivalent alue of the YAOUS in (1) (aka, the old global flag)/
12:27 bshum It sounds interesting.  The thing I worry about with retaining the actual desk location in the details is that it might still confuse end users if circ behavior becomes different.
12:27 bshum Like for troubleshooters going, but the circ lib says X, why's the rule this way?  And not initially realizing the disconnected reality.
12:27 bshum But that's something we can train around if said feature ever came to fruition, I suppose.
12:27 eeevil yeah, without a "matrix context org" it could be confusing
12:28 eeevil but (obv) there are ways of dealing with that
12:29 rfrasur bshum: related to desk location...and y'all may never have this problem, but I noticed that two of our circulation computers are registered using the exact same name.  Is desk location determined by that workstation registration name?
12:29 eeevil ok ... I've convinced myself that your approach does not preclude future enhancement, hinted at by michele, in a way that can be made sane ;)
12:30 eeevil rfrasur: not by the name, but by the org chosen at registration time
12:30 rfrasur so, it's broader than the actual machine.
12:30 eeevil rfrasur: and that's possible if you register via a powerful enough user
12:31 eeevil or if you clone a staff client install
12:31 bshum I do that all the time, keeping my original registration names when re-registering my workstations over and over as my profile gets lost over time.
12:31 rfrasur that's probably what happened...though not by me (obviously)
12:32 bshum eeevil: There's always possiblilities for future enhancements :D
12:32 acoomes joined #evergreen
12:32 bshum But at least it's a flag that's shipped off, like other renewal options.
12:33 bshum I'm not sure about YAOUS personall
12:33 bshum *personally
12:33 bshum I fought that battle inside myself before thinking that if one library does it, all of them should do it, else we get into weird worlds where behavior isn't always guaranteed to be the way we expect it to.
12:33 bshum If YAOUS aren't done well.
12:34 bshum But our consortium wants a global choice, I don't know if others might want more granular choice in the future... sigh :(

12:34 bshum eeevil: Oy, now I getcha... stupid walled gardends.
12:34 eeevil bshum: you can do global with YAOUS
12:35 bshum eeevil: True, just set to CONS (or highest point) and call it a day.

12:52 bshum I suppose if I just change the default in actor.usr definition for net_access_level from 1 (our blocked/"filtered") to 2, that should do the trick.

12:55 jhaig Hi. I'm having trouble with a server that I have just come back to after a long time. From the staff client, when I click 'MARC Batch Import / Export' I get an Internal Server Error.
12:56 rfrasur of course they just want it to work...but probably don't have anything but a foggy idea (if that) of what it working means.

13:06 krvmga phasefx: you wouldn't happen to know what the "certain location" is, would you? :)
13:14 Meliss joined #evergreen
13:14 phasefx krvmga: had to dig; so http://phasefx.evergreencatalog.com/opa​c/extras/ac/jacket/small/9780062101891 is coming from Open Library, and http://phasefx.evergreencatalog.com/opa​c/extras/ac/jacket/small/9780062101892 by virtue of me having done mkdir -p /openils/var/web/opac/extras/ac/jacket/small/ && cp /usr/share/pixmaps/debian-logo.png /openils/var/web/opac/extras/​ac/jacket/small/9780062101892
13:16 krvmga phasefx: did you have to have a small, medium and large version of the jacket image?
13:16 phasefx so basically apache gets a request for a URL based on TPAC templates, and the AddedContent handler checks to see if that path really exists, and if it does, let's apache serve it, otherwise, it fetches the image from the 3rd party server
13:16 phasefx krvmga: I would if I were to try the corresponding URL's
13:16 phasefx otherwise, it'd fall back to Open Library, in my case
13:17 krvmga phasefx: since the jacket image sizes are different in different results screens
13:17 phasefx krvmga: just right-click open image on a given image to see what the path is, but I'm pretty sure it's ac/jacket/small, ac/jacket/medium, and ac/jacket/large
13:18 krvmga phasefx++
13:18 phasefx so you'd want to create those to cover all cases
13:24 jeff_ one option is to simply symlink two sizes to the other. another is to have a system which eats the large image and re-sizes to small and medium and uploads to your evergreen web servers.
13:25 jeff_ we started using javascript in the catalog to report lack of item images, so that those could be given first priority for finding/scanning an image.
13:25 phasefx imagemagick is good for that from the command-line
13:25 jeff_ with ac-by-rec-id, it's done not by isbn but by the record ID (meaning the records like puppets don't need a fake isbn), and there's an /r/ in the url before the record id.
13:26 jeff_ yeah, i think our system uses some drupal module that is using imagemagick.

14:35 rfrasur I dunno that they're even offering hosting.  They host it for their own development purposes.  It's Fanggle.  They do Libserra stuff (mobile).  I'm thinking (he's calling back tomorrow to talk more) that they're wanting to market their mobile stuff to libraries with EG integration.
14:36 kmlussier rfrasur: I've talked to them before. They were hosting one of the community demo servers at one time.
14:36 rfrasur Honestly...it's a little incidental in my mind and probably only worth anything to a library that just HAS to have an app

15:08 jeff_ kmlussier: got it. thanks!
15:09 kmlussier There is a library setting to prevent renewals on titles with holds, but, if we use it, it will prevent the renewal even if there are dozens of copies to fill the one hold on the title. We're hoping the ratios will put a little more intelligence behind blocking those renewals.
15:09 jeff_ *nod*
15:09 jeff_ "copy needed for hold" is actually "copy could potentially fill a hold"
15:11 gsams__ I'm actually currently looking into an odd issue that deals with specific copies being allowed to be renewed even though they are on hold
15:11 gsams__ running 2.3.5, with the "Block Renewal of Items Needed for Holds" set to true.
15:11 jeff_ gsams__: where there is a copy-level hold on the item?
15:12 gsams__ yes
15:12 gsams__ The worst part is I am having trouble duplicating the behavior
15:12 gsams__ but I have seen it happen
15:13 jeff_ you can't reproduce it with an item checked out, placing a copy-level hold on the item, then attempting renewal?
15:14 gsams__ I haven't been able to so far, its really quite odd.  I've been trying to track down the items that this has happened on
15:14 gsams__ I just got a small list of items that this has happened and am about to run tests with those
15:14 jeff_ gsams__: i suspect it may vary depending on if there are any other holds.
15:15 gsams__ jeff_: and I can't verify if the holds were the only ones on those items/titles
15:16 jeff_ my initial thought was that the copy check was done solely on action.hold_copy_map and that copy holds might not use ahcm -- but at least in 2.2, I've confirmed that copy level holds do indeed use ahcm.
15:17 bshum I can't recall if there's some sort of override.
15:17 bshum For renews to force them to occur in the staff client?
15:18 gsams__ Okay, I just looked at one of the offending items and the hold that isn't triggering is a Title hold
15:19 gsams__ only one copy in the system
15:19 gsams__ now I'm really confused
15:19 jihpringle gsams__: we once had a similar sounding problem on 2.2, we discovered that new items weren't being checked in initially and were going straight from In Process to Checked Out and patrons were then able to renew
15:19 gsams__ jihpringle: I can almost assure you that this is something that happened.
15:20 gsams__ I tell them to make sure to check items in after processing but I know they forget to most of the time
15:24 csharp so are there any staff client memory leak improvements in 2.4?  many of our libraries are still having to resort to multiple restarts a day...

15:38 csharp ok good
15:38 bshum csharp: But yes, our libraries are still doing restarts, etc. in their workshift rotations to combat issues.
15:39 csharp we're looking at a Labor Day upgrade, and I'm sure that's going to be the top question
15:40 gsams__ jihpringle: No dice, went from "in process" to "checked out", place a hold from a different account, tried to renew and it got blocked...
15:40 jihpringle brand new item never checked in before?
15:41 gsams__ yeah, just had our cataloger run it up for me
15:42 bshum csharp: If I recall correctly, the improvement that was made was something that was measurable if one were watching the task manager for the specific scenario, (aka watching the patron search eat up tiny bits of memory forever, or having each patron tab load and never go back down in mem)
15:42 bshum So it's observable, but the end result is that there's still restarts involved so our libraries take it as "we're still broken"
15:42 bshum Which we are.
15:42 bshum Or perhaps... we couldn't convince our libraries that it helped enough by itself :D
15:44 gsams__ confusion level: super thorough.
15:45 bshum gsams__: Sure it's an active hold right?  Not a suspended one or something?
15:45 jihpringle gsams: looks like the bug must have been fixed between 2.2 and 2.3, that's the only instance we've seen of anything like that
15:46 csharp bshum: yeah, our libraries saw an improvement when we went from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6, but a lot of our systems are still struggling
15:47 gsams__ bshum: Yes, all instances that I've been made aware of were with active holds.  I was under the impression that it was related to copy holds, but at least one instance is a title hold
15:47 bshum Hmm
15:48 gsams__ and in this case it is allowing it to renew regardless, but there is only one copy in the whole consortium
15:48 gsams__ I just renewed it with no problems, I hope that patron doesn't mind
15:49 gsams__ gave them 2 extra days

16:43 mrpeters but im told it happens in 2.1 as well
16:45 rfrasur and that $30 isn't including default reprocessing fee?  only item price is being added into billings?

16:47 goooood joined #evergreen
16:47 rfrasur if it was a spreadsheet, I'd know why it was doing it.  obv, it's not.  It def should NOT do that though.  If the only thing that's going to billing is the item price, with no other fines/fees, it should be $29.99 w/o rounding.
16:47 Dyrcona mrpeters: Fines are charged in units of the fine rate, ie. 25 cents or whatever.
16:48 mrpeters hmm
16:49 Dyrcona rfrasur: He's asking about fines, not lost billing.
16:49 rfrasur Dyrcona, that wouldn't be a fine though.  It'd be a replacement cost.
16:49 tsbere as Dyrcona has said, if the item price isn't an exact multiple of the fine rate it will go until the fines are over or equal to the item price
16:49 mrpeters yeah, seems plausible

16:59 bshum Worked with gsams a bit more and it turns out the holds for the items that were renewing weren't being set to fulfill because of blocks on the patron who placed the hold.
16:59 bshum Their standing_penalty entry was set to block on CIRC|FULFILL|HOLD|CAPTURE|RENEW
16:59 dbs heh
16:59 bshum So, that leads to a hold that looks good and working, but actually isn't.
16:59 RoganH joined #evergreen
17:00 bshum And thus, no hold requiring the copy, so the copy renews happily.
17:00 bshum Fixing the patron with the hold put back the blocking event.
17:01 bshum And I assume that removing FULFILL|HOLD out of those block types would target the hold properly as well.
17:01 bshum gsams++ #fighting the good fight

17:03 dbs Hmm. Our technicians print spine labels all day and seem to be fine. Maybe it's the volume of the content being printed, or maybe a fundamental difference between spine label and receipt printing

17:04 bshum That's the feature that was added for 2.4 to truncate the fines to fit the max fine.
17:04 Dyrcona bshum: Yeah, we took those two out of most of our standing penalty blocks.
17:05 mrpeters thanks bshum
17:05 Dyrcona It's a good chance to say to the patron, "I'd like to let you have this, but first you have to pay these fines...."
17:05 bshum Dyrcona: Same for our setup as well.  We figured it was better to have holds fill and poke patrons to come in and pay off their fines, etc.
17:05 bshum Dyrcona++ :)

17:30 rfrasur I have a question about the translation in launchpad - if the item to be translated reads (for instance) "Are you sure you are ready to charge %1 to your credit card?" and the developer's note says "(money(ctx.fines.balance_owed))," does the translator need to do anything with that note unless it explicitly says "put a space here" or whatever?
17:31 rfrasur and the translator would just leave the %1 in place?
17:32 dbs rfrasur: the translator gets to put the %1 wherever it makes sense for it to appear in their translation
17:32 dbs the note is a hint as to what content is going to replace the placeholder %1
17:32 rfrasur dbs: right...but I'm assuming that the developer's note refer to what exactly the %1 calls?
17:33 rfrasur so, it's just fyi so that the translator knows to make it make sense
17:33 dbs rfrasur: right

20:56 bshum dbs: Hmm, that commit reintroduced "your account" vs. "my account" messages.
20:57 bshum in topnav.tt2
20:57 dbs Indeed.
20:58 dbs also a whole new eg.conf
20:58 * dbs beats head against keyboard
20:58 bshum Oh, missed that too.
20:59 dbs bah, I totally screwed this commit up.
21:00 dbs got cute doing "git checkout branchname -- filename" instead of applying the commits to master, then resetting and adding only the changes that I wanted.
21:02 dbs fixoring....
21:12 dbs bshum: you wanna take a look at user/dbs/maintenance_message to see if that restores order to the universe?
21:12 bshum dbs: Sure, I'll take a look.
21:14 dbs merci
21:15 bshum dbs: Looks good to my eyes.  I'll get it pushed once I get my other laptop going.
21:16 dbs thanks

21:33 jeff_ oof.
21:33 jeff_ good evening.
21:37 jeff_ our mission, should we choose to accept it, is to improve the billing system in a way that does not make it untenably fragile, and does not break workflows for existing libraries, nor invalidate existing data.
21:41 bshum As always, if any member of your team is caught or killed, the secretary will disavow all knowledge of your actions.
21:53 phasefx agent 7 was truncated
21:57 jeff this "two irc clients" thing is going to need a solution soon. "oh, activity in channel! oh, nevermind, it's me."
21:57 phasefx quassel?
21:57 jeff_ that's one, yep.
21:57 * phasefx is a fan of screen and irssi
21:58 jeff_ and that's the other.
21:59 gsams quick question, I apologize for being a bug over and over.
21:59 gsams Is ISBN search in 2.3.5 setup to search the 024 tag as well?
22:00 jeff_ not to the best of my knowledge. isbn would be 020.
22:00 mcooper gsams: w/o checking i'm going to say no -- that doesn't make sense
22:01 mcooper 024 is issn i believe
22:01 gsams jeff_ & mcooper: this was what I figured was the case.
22:02 bshum gsams: If you get curious, you can sometimes learn what's being indexed to different metabibs by peeking at config.metabib_field.
22:02 bshum @marc 024
22:02 pinesol_green bshum: A standard number or code published on an item which cannot be accommodated in another field (e.g., field 020 (International Standard Book Number), 022 (International Standard Serial Number) , and 027 (Standard Technical Report Number)). The type of standard number or code is identified in the first indicator position or in subfield $2 (Source of number or code). (Repeatable) [a,c,d,z,2,6,8]
22:02 jeff_ mcooper: 024 is other identifier, which in most of our data is an isbn (with the requisite indicators/etc)
22:02 bshum Looks like for us, the most common 024 would likely be UPC
22:02 mcooper i stand corrected =)
22:03 gsams bshum: ah I am still getting accustomed to the tables.  I really should just sit down and look through them shouldn't I haha
22:03 jeff_ http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=Evergreen.g​it;a=blob;f=Open-ILS/src/sql/Pg/950.data.se​ed-values.sql;h=23df6d3a92f3f6759c1ba2b4318​d7daf9926b384;hb=refs/heads/tags/rel_2_3_5 confirms that the stock isbn index in 2.3.5 uses the following xpath expression on the marcxml: //marc:datafield[@tag='020​']/marc:subfield[@code='a' or @code='z']
22:03 mcooper my cataloging knowledge is getting rusty
22:03 gsams jeff_: Many thanks!
22:03 bshum gsams: Eh, you get the hang of it eventually ;)
22:04 gsams bshum: the more I look at it, the better I'm understanding it
22:04 jeff_ mcooper: i misspoke above, s/in most of our data is an isbn/in most of our data is a upc/
22:05 bshum This is a weird night.  It's not usually this active this late :P
22:06 mcooper http://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/0xx/024.html -- used to use this site a lot once upon a time
22:06 bshum gsams: Aha, your numeric search dropdown in TPAC doesn't have UPC in it.  I guess that's something we put custom in our TPAC for Biblio
22:06 gsams I work til 9 PM here on Wednesdays
22:07 gsams bshum: I was just looking into that
22:07 gsams I will probably be adding that in shortly
22:07 bshum gsams++
22:08 jeff_ we have a tadl schema in our database, mostly for custom reporting things. i find myself idly wondering what bshum uses, since "biblio" is taken. :-)
22:09 bshum jeff_: In the beginning, dbs set us up with "custom_views" during his training course.  So I stuck a bunch of random things in there once upon a time.
22:09 bshum Nowadays, we just do the whole name... "bibliomation"
22:09 jeff_ logical, in both cases. :-)
22:09 bshum (not very original)
22:14 jeff so with our new phone system, dial plans can make http calls. i'm considering an interface for at least our circulation department whereby the inbound call results in an account lookup with options for the most common things people call about -- renewals, sending password reset via email, etc.
22:15 jeff has anyone here experimented with similar?
22:18 jeff in some spot checking, the majority of phone numbers inbound to that department retrieve an active patron or family.
22:18 jeff (actually, every one i've tried)
22:22 jeff i'm undecided on if this would be more or less useful than a grpl-like phone renewal system.
22:23 jeff potentially more friendly, and not limited to renewals.
22:24 jeff could be complimentary.
22:25 jeff and i'm monologuing. :-)
22:26 rfrasur joined #evergreen
22:28 bshum jeff: To stop that, no I haven't experimented with similar.  Though that does sound interesting :D
