08:48 abowling can anyone point me to the location of the script that, in the opac, detects whether your logged in, and if not, redirects you to the login page?
08:51 Shae joined #evergreen
09:00 tsbere abowling: There isn't a single "script" for that. It is a combination of load_common looking for an authtoken and load saying "beyond this point we need to be authenticated"
09:05 abowling thanks, tsbere. i found what i was looking for in EGCatLoader.pm

10:07 jeff abowling: (just because I'm curious...) What are you looking into?
10:13 tsbere might be what I figured it all out for. Added a new page to TPac, needed to make it available without logging in.
10:14 tsbere As normally anything you add will fall through to the login check

12:19 hopkinsju I seem to recall there being a setting to allow automatic retargeting of uncaptured holds after a specified period.
12:19 hopkinsju Is that my imagination?
12:20 tsbere hopkinsju: Er, as in "holds that haven't been pulled or otherwise captured"? Which would be the general hold targeter process.
12:21 hopkinsju tsbere: Yes, exactly. If a hold is on a libraries pull list for a long time, let's move on and see if someone else can fill it.
12:21 tsbere hopkinsju: Hold targeter cron job.
12:22 * hopkinsju goes off
12:23 * csharp ends his final workday in 2014
12:23 csharp Merry $holiday_of_choice to all!
12:24 dbs csharp++
12:30 hopkinsju Grats csharp!
12:34 hopkinsju tsbere: I'm not understanding. I'm not sure we're sayign the same thing. Library A has a book on it's pull list. For whatever reason, they don't touch their list and book just sits there waiting for capture for say, 3 days. At that point, we'd like the hold targeter to find another copy.
12:35 hopkinsju If it does that already, I don't see it where.
12:35 hopkinsju Our cronjob runs very frequently, and to my knowledge it doesn't pick new copies each time it runs.
12:35 tsbere hopkinsju: Hold targeter should be doing that automatically already. Though it may keep going *back* to Library A every other day or similar.
12:36 tsbere hopkinsju: We run every 15 min, but tell it to only check things from 24 hours ago or longer (or things with no previous check time)
12:38 tsbere hopkinsju: Looking at the hold targeter, it looks like it may be hardcoded to re-examine holds after 24 hours. We may want to make that more of an option some day. So, provided you are running it frequently it should, once a day, change the copies (when multiple are available) on each non-captured hold.
12:40 tsbere hopkinsju: If there are no other copies available it obviously can't pick a new one (this is always the case for copy-level holds, for example) and as I mentioned it could be going back to the previous copy every other day....in fact, thinking about it, it may never leave a given library if that library has 2 or more holdable copies...
12:41 tsbere That will be most likely to be a problem with the hold is for pickup at that library, or that is the "closest" library in the org tree to where the hold is to be picked up, though. If it has to look further than that it should be more random.
12:46 hopkinsju tsbere: I think I'm going to have to do some further testing. My interpretation of the hold_targeter.pl was that it was looking for new *potential* copies to add to the pool every 24 hours. So that newly added items might be considered,
12:46 hopkinsju But only in the case that a manual retarget (or status change related retarget) happened.
12:48 mrpeters1 joined #evergreen
12:53 mrpeters joined #evergreen
12:54 tsbere hopkinsju: It adds new copies and updates the pull list information as part of the same cycle. Manual retarget is "do that without the 24 hour wait from the last time"
13:10 buzzy joined #evergreen
13:17 hopkinsju tsbere: I guess it could be that it's just choosing the same copies every time for the same reasons.
13:17 hopkinsju I've not found a test case yet where the same branch has multiple available copies, but I've not looked hard enough.
13:18 hopkinsju ... where same branch is the local branch and/or local system.

14:26 abowling in the EGKPacLoader.pm module, there is a line "my $path = $self->apache->dir_config('KPacConfigFile');". can someone point me to where that config is located?
14:27 tsbere abowling: You would want to see what the apache config says about it. AKA, go read the KPacConfigFile variable out of your apache config. ;)
14:30 bshum abowling: I get the feeling that's more than likely the KPAC config file from /openils/conf/..
14:31 bshum But yeah, the exact path is set in your eg_vhost.conf apache config file
14:31 bshum defaults to /openils/conf/kpac.xml.example
14:31 abowling thanks bshum, tsbere. same issue as yesterday. can't get the kpac_root to reliably persist. mrpeters set it yesterday, and it still shows up in the code, even though i can't seem to find it in a grep anywhere
14:32 dkyle left #evergreen
14:32 tsbere abowling: There is a single line that sets that normally in EGKPacLoader.pm
14:33 tsbere abowling: If you are doing anything other than editing that line or adding a new line to mess with it after that point in the same function then things may never stick
14:34 abowling tsbere: i agree, except that it is not recognizing that value. it's persisting with one mrpeters wrote yesterday, instead of the one we've changed back
14:34 tsbere abowling: Has apache been fully restarted?
14:34 abowling tsbere: yes
14:34 abowling multiple, multiple times
14:35 abowling tsbere: this is one of those maddening rabbit hole problems :\
14:35 bshum I blame the chaos monkey.
14:35 abowling bshum: agreed
14:36 abowling it's frustrating as hell, because i've got the solution figured out for a bug, but i can't get the kpac_root to stay with any consitency
14:47 abowling and the idiot award for the day goes to.........................ME!
14:47 abowling was restarting apache, or at least attempting to, with opensrf acct instead of root
14:48 abowling bshum, tsbere, rjackson-isl: thanks for trying to help this moron, anyway
14:48 rjackson-isl sometimes the easiest things are the hardest to find!
