09:47 gmcharlt dbs: I've secured permission to grab some Real Evergreen Serial Subscriptions (TM) and will be compiling and submitting the dataset tomorrow
09:48 dbs gmcharlt++ # awesome, much better than hand-carving fake subscriptions (although it's worth a walk through the serial control / alternate serial control world on occasion)

10:10 jeff_ if ($@ && ref($@) eq 'XML::LibXML::Error') {
10:10 jeff_ $xml =~ s/\x04//g; # Remove ^D from xml
10:12 Dyrcona jeff_: You're still messing around with that NCIP data?
10:13 jeff_ Dyrcona: back at it. just looking at the absurdity of the code i wrote to work around the data.
10:13 csharp jeff_: hi - we're looking at implementing KPAC soon and are admiring TADL's non-KPAC kids OPAC (http://catalog.tadl.org/eg/opac​/home?loc=22;physical_dept=ys)
10:13 jeff_ csharp: cool. it's a dirty, well-received hack. :-)
10:13 csharp we noticed that there aren't any "canned" searches like there are in KPAC - was there a logistical reason TADL hasn't implemented that kind of thing?
10:14 csharp heh
10:14 jeff_ it wasn't on anyone's radar. the original request hit us as "make the kids catalog terminals just search the kids department"
10:14 csharp gotcha - makes sense
10:15 rfrasur joined #evergreen
10:15 jeff_ we're on 2.2, so we don't even have copy location groups, so we just emulated groups in the template --     <option value='527,531,530,532,791,795,529​,793,528,794,792,571,516,593,771,7​70,542,589,549'>Juvenile</option>
10:15 Dyrcona jeff_: Take a look at OpenILS::Utils::Normalize::clean_marc in master. It will have some tricks you might to use.
10:16 jeff_ it is likely less performant than copy location groups, but I've not tested
10:16 jeff_ Dyrcona: thanks!
10:16 csharp jeff_: thanks for those details ;-)
10:22 * rfrasur sees an email with the subject "mobile OPAC testing" from jboyer-isl - looks very interesting
10:23 gmcharlt testing the OPAC from the bookmobile?
10:23 rfrasur jboyer-isl: I have story time at 10:30 but will test on a variety of screens after I get done with that.  Probably around 11:30.
10:23 gmcharlt ;)
10:23 rfrasur gmcharlt++ # maybe
10:24 rfrasur as an unrelated aside - when your mother and brother endorse you on Linkdin, it kind of takes some of the professionalism and credibility away.
10:25 rfrasur well, at least in my case.  Maybe you have very professional and credible relatives.
10:25 CarrieC joined #evergreen
10:25 * dbs wishes jboyer_isl didn't have to recreate all the stuff we did for 2.4 for the 2.2 world :/
10:27 rfrasur so, dbs, are you saying that mobile OPAC...ie. responsive TPAC is part of the 2.4 package?
10:28 mcooper joined #evergreen
10:28 * rfrasur goes to read stories and decorate cookies w/ small children
10:29 dbs rfrasur: a lot of it is, if you add in the branch that I posted a few months ago
10:29 jboyer_isl dbs: Schedules will be schedules. :/ at least it only took a couple of concentrated hours to get to the point where I'm calling it done until 2.4.
10:38 jboyer-isl Also, I forgot: your "rough draft" was a great start.
10:38 rjackson-isl joined #evergreen
10:41 dbs jboyer-isl: thanks, that branch _is_ rough, but illustrative at least :) I was mostly thinking of the font / colour stuff that was already separated out in 2.4 (not necessarily optimally, but at least a decent start)
10:41 jboyer-isl Ah, yeah that part was a little annoying. A little time with calc.exe took care of that. :)
10:43 kmlussier jeff_: 2.2 should have copy location groups. I know we were using them in 2.2.
10:46 mmorgan joined #evergreen
10:49 jeff_ kmlussier: ah. i might be confusing which aspect 2.2 lacked, then. i'm fairly certain there was a feature which kpac relied on which 2.2 did not have.
10:49 * dbs trying to suss out exactly how we want "foreign copies" to appear in record display. Right now they don't appear, I'm thinking that we might want to have a special section for them at the top of the record copy table with "Part of" peer_type / parent_bib.title / parent_bib.author (linked to display that parent bib) for the child records
10:49 dbs And then have the parent bib display the peer type / title / author for each child bib, linked to display each child bib.
10:49 zerick joined #evergreen
10:49 * dbs thinks he can avoid most of the overhead of the current branch

11:19 bshum parts--
11:20 bshum kmlussier: Our pain begins early this week.
11:20 Dyrcona To elebenty and beyond!
11:21 Dyrcona kmlussier: My development VM is working if you're interested in testing things.
11:25 BigRig joined #evergreen
11:38 bshum senator: Dyrcona: To verify, the branch I should look at for the browse stuff is collab/dyrcona/bib-auth-browse-squash, right?
11:38 senator bshum: right
11:38 bshum (We're rebasing our test servers today and I'm going to add it again to the mix)
11:38 bshum Cool deal.
11:39 bshum And also, holy cow that's alot o' commits
11:39 Dyrcona bshum: There's a small conflict with master at the moment, just keep both parts.
11:39 bshum :D
11:39 senator bshum: i think when all parties are reasonably happy with it, it can be squashed way down
11:40 bshum I figured, I'm just heckling :P
11:40 kmlussier senator++ for making all parties reasonably happy. :)
11:41 bshum Agreed, senator++ for his many good deeds.
11:43 * senator goes back to visiting the elderly and helping schoolchildren cross the street  ;-P
11:44 dbs senator++ # I was thinking squashing that branch would be a good idea :)
11:45 dbs speaking of squashing, anyone interested in conjoined items / peer bibs might want to poke at bug 1097915
11:45 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1097915 in Evergreen "tpac: conjoined items are not supported" (affected: 2, heat: 14) [Wishlist,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1097915
11:45 bshum Dyrcona: Oh okay, the usual, seed data unhappiness and css conflicts.
11:45 bshum Dyrcona++ #thanks for the warning
11:46 dbs I'm still not entirely happy with how foreign items are displayed, but it's way better than "not at all"
11:47 Dyrcona bshum I think there's a conflict in config.tt2 also.
11:47 senator i'm interesting in making up for not merging anything last week. i also know eeevil has expressed interest in this before. i can't do much today but later in the week one or the other of us will surely take a good luck (which is not to dissuade anybody else from the same)
11:47 bshum Dyrcona: Yeah I just caught that too, thanks.
11:47 senator s/good luck/good look/
11:48 asimon joined #evergreen
11:49 asimon Is there online documentation on how to change server-side settings?
11:50 dbs asimon: there is some, it depends on what settings
11:50 dbs asimon: the docs try to take a task-oriented approach
11:50 asimon dbs: ui.patron and url_verify
11:52 senator asimon: neither of those things are the complete names of any settings, but it sounds like you're talking about library settings, aka org unit settings.  you can edit them in the staff client via admin -> local administration -> library settings editor, or in the database in the actor.org_unit_setting table
11:53 akilsdonk_ joined #evergreen
11:53 asimon senator: The settings I want to change within these settings groups are not available through the staff client.
11:54 asimon senator: For example: ui.patron.default_ident_type
11:55 CeCirc joined #evergreen
11:56 senator asimon: that should show up in the staff client. if not, there's either a permissions issue or some deeper problem.
11:56 bshum That should be in the library settings editor.
11:56 bshum Or at least, it was when we configured it.
11:57 dbs asimon: maybe your site missed an upgrade ?
11:57 dbs looks like it's in 1.6.1-2.0-upgrade-db.sql
12:03 dbs Hey, here's a brilliant idea for a simple perl test... ensure that DEBUG_TIMING == 0. heh :)
12:06 rfrasur joined #evergreen
12:07 paxed dbs: are peer.title & peer.author already scrubbed of hmtl?
12:07 paxed blah. html.
12:09 dbs paxed: no; good catch. gotta prevent those cataloguers from exploiting vulnerabilities :)
12:09 paxed dbs: well, who knows, maybe some author will name their book <a href="goatse"> ... :P
12:15 dbs paxed: pushed a nice sanitized branch with a hat-tip to you in the commit message
12:15 rfrasur jboyer-isl: testing on galaxy nexus phone...then kindle fire.  will try galaxy tab 7 at home later.
12:16 rfrasur (of course, it'd help if I could remember my password)
12:17 jboyer-isl Thanks. I was able to do a little testing with someone's random android somethingorother and it looked ok, so I'm hoping things will be good all around.
12:17 rfrasur so far, it looks good.  will take a look in my account and then do a couple searches and do some stuff.
12:17 dbs jboyer-isl: any of your work headed 2.5 / master's way?
12:19 rfrasur (figure it's a good chance to see how easy it is to do a password reset from my phone)
12:19 jboyer-isl Everything that I re-make for 2.4, sure. I haven't actually started that though. D: Need to study up on user/collab branches, because I'm also starting from 0 on that.
12:20 jboyer-isl rfraur: and you would also be testing a page I forgot to ever even look at. Hope it looks ok, heh.
12:20 jboyer-isl And I can't type. :/
12:20 rfrasur jboyer-isl: the reset page?  it looked fine :)
12:20 jboyer-isl Lucky us.
12:22 jboyer-isl Also, I don't know if all of the necessary back end stuff is running for that to actually work. If you need me to change the password on an account let me know. (The dataload is several months old, in case you've changed it recently.)
12:22 rfrasur oh, I can change it myself in the staff client.  I just wanted to try it as a real end user.
12:22 * rfrasur hasn't received the email yet so will just do it in the staff client and move on.
12:23 jboyer-isl True, but if you really couldn't remember then the staff client won't help you. :D
12:25 rfrasur jboyer-isl: truth.  btw, I can log into the OPAC but not the mobile OPAC.  Is that expected behavior?
12:26 rfrasur (was that the backend stuff you were talking about? or the password reset?)
12:27 rfrasur also, are we foregoing a limited advanced search forever or just for now?
12:28 jboyer-isl I just meant that the email will never come, and the actual reset may not work if it did. Are you using the same hostname on the desktop vs. mobile? (and NOT letting the keyboard "help" you by auto-capitalizing the first letter of your username? They're ALSO case sensitive...)
12:29 jboyer-isl I'm personally planning to forego advanced search forever. I'm working off the assumption that it's a hassle to enter things into a bunch of fields. I won't argue with anyone else that wants to take care of it.
12:30 rfrasur no, I'm using the standing catalog on the desktop (to make sure that I wasn't messing up the log-in).  let me try the mobile on the desktop and see what it does there.  I'm okay with just the basic search for the same reason you mentioned.
12:31 mmorgan left #evergreen
12:31 rfrasur yeah, it's not helping me on the desktop (as you say), and I can't log in on the test site.
12:32 rfrasur hmm...s/standing/standard
12:37 rfrasur I do like the library chooser
12:38 kmlussier Dyrcona: Searches on your dev server are quite zippy today. :)
12:38 Dyrcona kmlussier: It's the new database server. We got one almost identical to what we use in production.
12:39 Dyrcona Which reminds me of an email I have to answer after lunch.
12:39 kmlussier Dyrcona++
12:40 rfrasur jboyer-isl: search works well as far as I've delved into it.
12:40 bshum dbwells++ #milestone wrangling
12:41 rfrasur and records show up nice.  can't test the hold placing because of the authentication issue.  let me try something with that real quick (sorta quick).
12:43 rfrasur yeah - no.  won't authenticate.
12:49 pinesol_green [evergreen|Dan Wells] Make AuthProxy LDAP bind code more robust - <http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=​Evergreen.git;a=commit;h=36ea3a2>
12:49 pinesol_green [evergreen|Dan Wells] Capture and log AuthProxy logins with no account - <http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=​Evergreen.git;a=commit;h=be36c3c>
12:52 bshum Blah, 0795 fails because we apparently don't have a metabib_field entry 30 for LCCN.
12:52 bshum Sigh.
12:59 jboyer-isl rfrasur: That is unexpected. Does your browser complain about the certificate at all? There's not a valid one for that machine, but usually you can tell it to throw caution to the wind.
12:59 rfrasur yes, it did...but I just pushed through with it for the time being.
12:59 * rfrasur threw caution to the wind
13:05 bshum Sigh, long reingests make me feel so tired.
13:05 rfrasur jboyer-isl: fwiw, I also linked in the mig site to our Fanggle app to see how seamless it'd look/act.  Looks good to me.
13:05 rfrasur bshum: did you eat lunch yet?
13:05 bshum rfrasur: Good call, off to go buy some lunch.
13:05 rfrasur ;)
13:05 rfrasur eat something good

13:18 kmlussier Looks like 2 p.m., Eastern tomorrow is the best time for this week's dev meeting. http://www.doodle.com/e9desufeu3fpf738
13:18 kmlussier Since bshum can't make it, I'll gladly accept volunteers from anyone who is willing to run the meeting. :)
13:25 gmcharlt kmlussier: I will offer up myself
13:26 kmlussier gmcharlt++
13:29 kmlussier Preliminary agenda: http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/d​oku.php?id=dev:meetings:2013-07-15. Feel free to add stuff there.
13:30 rfrasur jboyer-isl:Do you have any more guidance about the authentication issue or should I just let it rest for now?
13:31 jboyer-isl The only thing I can think of is making sure it doesn't capitalize something it shouldn't. It's possible that the browser you're using just won't play ball with a busted certifitcate.
13:34 rfrasur hmm, let me try some other browsers then?
13:34 ktomita joined #evergreen
13:35 fparks joined #evergreen
13:37 paxed do people remove the bug assignment once they've released a fix for it?
13:39 jboyer-isl I'm more interested in how Chrome likes it than "Browser," but I was able to log in with someone else's phone using Browser.
13:39 sidion left #evergreen
13:39 rfrasur I'm testing Chrome right now.  Browser didn't work on phone...and neither did Firefox on desktop.  Maybe I need to clear out the cache and start over.
13:41 bshum kmlussier: I'll be here and there.  But yeah, in a phone call during the meeting, so I might be a little more distant than I'd like :(
13:41 rfrasur jboyer-isl:fail on phone using chrome
13:41 kmlussier bshum: A little difficult to run a meeting that way. :)
13:42 bshum Oh no, definitely not running it at all.  gmcharlt++
13:42 rfrasur jboyer-isl: same on desktop
13:42 * paxed didn't bother answering the poll once again, as he's almost always available around that time of the evening ...
13:44 jboyer-isl Bizzare. I didn't touch anything but css and sprinkle around one or two little <br>'s. Not sure why it won't let you in. Did you reset the password on that account? Also, are you using it's username and not barcode?
13:44 rfrasur I was using username and password.  Then I reset to barcode and PIN and it behaves the same.
13:45 rfrasur and it's mig.evergreen.lib.in.us, correct?
13:45 kmlussier paxed++
13:46 CarrieC joined #evergreen
13:58 jboyer-isl That's the place. Maybe try a new patron account to see what it does?
13:59 rfrasur EG and I may not be getting along with one another today.
14:03 rfrasur jboyer-isl: it must be my account.  logged in just fine w/ a staff profile account.
14:04 rfrasur (EG and I are gonna fight...that's all there is to it)
14:04 jboyer-isl That'll work just as well.
14:06 rfrasur I'm concerned about it logging in a patron account though (and why mine isn't working).  Gonna try a few diff type accounts.
14:07 akilsdonk_ joined #evergreen
14:09 jboyer-isl It's possible they're all disabled in case a patron tried to play with it., I've not looked at it.
14:09 jboyer-isl disabled because it's the migration server, that is.
14:10 rfrasur ahhh, I gotcha.  You're probably right.  Are you testing it with a staff profile account I'm assuming?
14:10 jboyer-isl yes.
14:10 jboyer-isl They act the same in the OPAC anyway.
14:11 rfrasur except when they're disabled :-)
14:11 jboyer-isl Too true.
14:12 * rfrasur takes a deep breath and recites, "I love Evergreen all day, every day with no exceptions ever."
14:12 rfrasur @loves
14:12 pinesol_green rfrasur loves google; pinesol_green; overcast days; Evergreen; Ze Internetz!; chocolate; Fridays; and minions

15:47 mdawe joined #evergreen
16:13 rfrasur jboyer-isl: what about being able to see/change how the search result list is sorted?
16:14 jboyer-isl It's a possibility. Most of that section was wiped out because it was just too big to have at the top of every single search page. I'll keep a note that there's some interest though.
16:15 rfrasur Just kinda noting as I pick through.  Not demanding...just noting.
16:16 jboyer-isl Me too. I'm not promising I'll do it. :D
16:17 rfrasur jboyer-isl++
16:17 jboyer-isl An email might be good for feedback though, I'll be out of here shortly and won't see anything else you might notice.
16:19 rfrasur okay - I'm leaving soon as well.  Not sure that I'll mess with it tonight...oh wait.  I will..on the Tab.  Okay, and this is a responsive version, right?

16:23 bshum jeff and I have chatted before about some stuff he's been toying with in that area, but I know he's been busy with NCIP and other projects.
16:23 rfrasur you two are too cool for school (yeah, I said it)

16:24 rfrasur oy, this day has been too long and completely unproductive (other than very cute cookies being made earlier).

16:26 jeff now if i could just determine why my laptop is refusing to wake... twice so far today.
16:26 Dyrcona Mine always refuses to go to sleep, which is fun when you open it a day later and the battery is dead.
16:30 * tsbere has a habit of hibernating his laptops, due to previous issues with his first laptop coming out of sleep mode for no apparent reason
16:34 jboyer-isl rfrasur: Well, ir "Repsonds" to things smaller than 600 pixels across differently than things larger than that, but that's it ATM.
