09:49 csharp @seen Dyrcona
09:49 pinesol_green csharp: Dyrcona was last seen in #evergreen 2 days, 12 hours, 9 minutes, and 56 seconds ago: <Dyrcona> Good night, Evergreen!
09:50 csharp anybody using Dyrcona's backstage tools who can comment on whether they can be safely run during the day?
09:50 csharp tsbere maybe?
09:51 * csharp doesn't want to screw with the server-side peace we try to maintain during summer reading
09:51 tsbere csharp: I have no clue, I don't use them. Also, Dyrcona is on vacation.
09:51 csharp ok - thanks

09:58 bshum csharp: I haven't poked too much, but I think it depends on which part you're running.  Do you mean the export or the import?
09:58 bshum I would imagine export can be done safely at any point
10:00 collum joined #evergreen
10:00 bshum For import, I guess it's a matter of how much churn is generated on your DB as old records are overlaid with new ones and the triggers fire off for things like metabib updating, audits, etc.
10:00 bshum For myself, I would do it off-hours
10:00 bshum Just to avoid weird catalog search quirks
10:00 bshum If tags are changed / updated
10:01 bshum And caching, whatnots
10:01 bshum But that's just my nervousness showing, possibly.
10:02 jeff___ joined #evergreen
10:03 jeff ah. that's a bit more cautious.
10:03 jeff see, before you added those lines, your "I would imagine export can be done safely at any point" brought to mind the TF2 "Meet the Pyro" video.

10:27 csharp Yeah, I'm talking about import.  I'll try and split the files into smaller chunks and process that way
10:38 tater-laptop joined #evergreen
10:44 jeff http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/ appears down from here.
10:47 csharp we should consider mirroring that site on lupin or on a separate VM
10:50 dbs yes we should
10:51 dbs some day we should move the planet over too

15:02 Bmagic I am working on a receipt template in evergreen 2.6.0. As apart of the structured data, do these templates have access to the library phone number from actor.org_unit ?  %LIBRARY_PHONE% or something like that?
15:05 jeff they do not, though there are some approaches you can use to enable you to get "one template" which displays different data for each library.
15:06 jeff first, there's a neglected-by-me bug to add some macros to the receipt templates: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/608308
15:06 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 608308 in Evergreen "receipt template macros should have access to address, phone numbers" (affected: 5, heat: 24) [Wishlist,In progress] - Assigned to Jeff Godin (jgodin)
15:06 * tsbere wrote some of those approaches, though more for "this is an upcoming event at the library we want on every receipt but don't want to go to every workstation to update!" type things
15:07 Bmagic jeff: aha! I should have looked at the bugs
15:09 jeff second, there's %INCLUDE()% which can reference an org unit setting, or you could use print_custom(). there's some discussion on this here: http://irc.evergreen-ils.org/​evergreen/2014-03-14#i_76729
15:10 jeff and some documentation on the INCLUDE macros here: http://masslnc.cwmars.org/nod​e/2528#Includes_from_Settings
15:10 tsbere heh, forgot some of my MVLC-targeted docs made it there
15:11 tsbere Bmagic: Note that the various whatever_text options are tied to specifically named org unit settings, you can add more or remove the existing ones if you should want to.
15:11 tsbere Thus, adding something like library_phone should actually be possible, for example
15:12 tsbere (and, if done properly, your library_phone can be more than just the phone number, you should in theory get full receipt template syntax there)
15:12 Bmagic tsbere: I see
15:14 tsbere Bmagic: For example, you may want just the raw number in library settings. In the OU setting you might say "XXX-XXX-XXXX Circ: x??? Ref: x???" to show useful extension options when calling. Or multiple lines of text if they want multiple branches listed.
15:15 Bmagic %INCLUDE(X)% needs to refer to something in library settings?
15:16 Bmagic X= alert_text etc?
15:16 tsbere Bmagic: circ.staff_client.receipt.X
15:17 tsbere Bmagic: so if you have circ.staff_client.receipt.alert_text, and the workstation has a value for it in the OU settings, %INCLUDE(alert_text)% will include whatever text is in the setting
15:17 Bmagic I see, but that's manual and not pulling from aou
15:17 tsbere Bmagic: If you add circ.staff_client.receipt.library_phone then you can use %INCLUDE(library_phone)%
15:18 tsbere Bmagic: That is correct. I see this as more flexible, but that doesn't mean you need the flexibility.
15:19 hbrennan joined #evergreen
15:23 Bmagic circ.staff_client.receipt.library_phone needs to be set in addition to aou if we wanted to go that route. For right now, there is no way to get aou phone unless I create print_custom.js?
15:26 jeff there is currently no known-to-me way to automatically get the value of actor.org_unit.phone in receipts, and that may even include print_custom.js.
15:27 jeff now you could use sql to set org unit settings for the include settings based on every library's current actor.org_unit.phone value...
15:27 tsbere I know of ways you might be able to get it in receipts, if the data is provided, but none that I can say work right now
15:28 Bmagic no problem, thanks guys!
15:28 tsbere Hmmm
15:28 kmlussier Looks like those receipt docs should be added to the community docs.
15:28 jeff fwiw, i mentioned it in the irc conversation i linked to above, but even though i implemented a lookup with print_custom.js, i'd probably go with includes if i did it again.
15:29 tsbere Actually, looking, I could probably make a print_custom to get the defined phone number for the library
15:30 jeff i was dealing with six libraries and knew that the "real" fix would be dealt with in that bug. :-)
15:31 jeff this is the lookup route we're currently using: http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=eve​rgreen/tadl.git;a=commit;h=6bd1fc7
15:31 tsbere and.....nope. print_custom no longer has access to the library variable as the code currently stands. And I seem to recall looking that up before too.
15:32 tsbere params.data and params.list are available, but not params.lib
15:32 jeff yeah, pretty sure we both looked that up on or around March 14, 2014 :-)
