09:48 * berick finds it interesting how many people opt for the mailing list message digest option
09:48 RoganH_ I'd never read anything if I set it to digest.
09:49 berick i can imagine
09:58 kmlussier I've used digest for some mailing lists that weren't particularly important to me.
10:09 Bmagic bshum: which branch NICs do you have?
10:11 bshum Bmagic: I think they're broadcom NICs
10:12 Bmagic bshum: sweet, and you got it working!
10:13 Bmagic bshum++
10:13 bshum Bmagic: I bashed my head on it for awhile yesterday, but yeah, Powershell is awesome, once you figure it out...
10:13 Bmagic I agree, they took some pointers from bash
10:13 krvmga following the instructions for including locally hosted content in my public interface, i cannot get the locally hosted jacket images to show up
10:15 krvmga for instance, the location of the large image is /openils/var/web/opac/extra​s/ac/jacket/large/r/2647511

10:40 * pinesol_green brews and pours a cup of Hawaii Isla Kona Mauka, and sends it sliding down the bar to jeff_____
10:42 * jeff grabs it on its way to jeff_____
10:48 krvmga i notice, when i view source, the href in rdetail_image_div is /opac/extras/ac/jacket/large/r/2647511 but the src is /opac/extras/ac/jacket/medium/r/2647511 . is that as it should be?
10:49 tsbere krvmga: It links to the large one, but shows the medium on the page by default
10:54 krvmga i wonder if the issue was caching on the server because the images are now starting to show up
10:55 tsbere Under normal circumstances they will cache individually

10:59 * dbwells didn't really want credit for his pedantry :)
11:00 Megakeen Anyone know if it's possible to add items to a record bucket using its bucket id rather than its name?
11:04 Megakeen I'm trying to use the record buckets interface to manage an OPAC-visible bookbag but said bookbag/bucket doesn't appear in the list when I use Item Status->Add to record bucket.
11:05 phasefx Megakeen: you should be able to pull it up via the id
11:06 Megakeen I can view it by the id, but I don't know how to add to it using the id.
11:06 phasefx once retrieved, it should be a matter of permissions on whether you can add to it or not
11:06 Megakeen As far as I can tell the record buckets interface only lets you add by doing a query, moving the query results to pending records and then moving pending records to the currently-selected bucket.
11:07 phasefx Megakeen: oh I see, you're wanting to know whether you can add to such a bucket from another interface like the catalog?
11:08 phasefx Megakeen: I think for now, you may want to create a "staging" bucket, put things in there while working, and then transfer them to your bookbag bucket enmasse
11:08 wongon joined #evergreen
11:08 Megakeen Yes. In an ideal world I'd be able to load a CSV of barcodes into Item Status or whatever and add them to the bookbag en mass.
11:10 Megakeen Ohhh. That's kind of obvious in hindsight, I feel dumb. Make a plain old record bucket (non-bookbag) and populate it from my CSV, pull it up in the record buckets interface and transfer everything to pending, then pull up the OPAC bucket by id and add all the pending items.
11:10 Megakeen phasefx: Thanks!
11:10 phasefx Megakeen++ exactly
11:12 Megakeen Okay, another newbie question. I've seen a number of people in here use 'name++' after receiving help. Is that just jargon or is there actually some kind of channel reputation system in use?
11:12 phasefx Megakeen: the latter
11:12 phasefx @karma
11:12 pinesol_green phasefx: Highest karma: "bshum" (13), "yboston" (13), and "kmlussier" (11).  Lowest karma: "marc" (-2), "ie" (-1), and "microsoft" (-1).  You (phasefx) are ranked 11 out of 41.
11:14 Megakeen Oh, good to know. I'm sure I'll be back in here the next time I get stumped so I'll be able to show my gratitude properly!
11:14 Megakeen phasefx++
11:14 phasefx :D
11:25 * tsbere shakes his fist at the limited configure options for OpenSRF

11:50 kmlussier Bmagic / hopkinsju: Looks like Wednesday, June 10 is the best date for Bug Squashing Day. http://doodle.com/g4b87nsp2d7s87gx. I just want to make sure it works for you before finalizing the date.
11:50 Bmagic kmlussier: just a minute
11:51 Megakeen 'Lo again. Could anyone tell me where the receiving email for bounced patron notices is set? (Assuming you can actually set that from the client)
11:52 kmlussier Bmagic / hopkinsju: Also, I'm thinking we should have all requests be submitted by June 7 so that we have two full days to get the Sandboxes ready. Does that does give enough time?
11:54 csharp Megakeen: probably in Admin -> Server Administration -> Organizational Units
11:55 phasefx Megakeen: it really depends on the Action/Trigger notification templates, but I think by default they use the library setting "Sending email address for patron notices"
11:56 phasefx internally, that's called org.bounced_emails
11:56 hopkinsju kmlussier: That date works for us!
11:56 csharp phasefx: I wondered about that, but I thought A/T just uses the OU settings
11:56 csharp I mean the email entered in the OU setup
11:56 kmlussier hopkinsju: Great! Thanks!
11:57 kmlussier Bmagic++ hopkinsju++
11:57 * csharp has never dug into that, just speaking from observed behavior
11:57 hopkinsju I think we will use the extra lead time to make sure that we can load as many patches on the same machine as possible. Do you have any idea the volume of bugs we might want to load patches for?
11:57 phasefx csharp: Megakeen: so stock looks like it has From: [%- params.sender_email || default_sender %]  That first option is an action/trigger parameter you can set for a given template
11:57 phasefx and as for default_sender...
11:57 Megakeen ..I blame extreme exhaustion for my failure to comprehend obvious things today. Bounce messages are going to go to the sender, which is a donotreply address. The fact that another employee is receiving them just means our email provider is auto-forwarding them, aye?
11:58 phasefx it looks like default_sender might come from opensrf.xml
11:58 kitteh_ joined #evergreen
12:00 phasefx csharp: Megakeen: to use the library setting, you'd need to put something like this in the template: helpers.get_org_setting(lib.id, 'org.bounced_emails')
12:02 phasefx Megakeen: I think so; none of the behavior there with mail servers and bounces are consistently defined across mail servers, I think
12:03 pgardella Megakeen: Or you can use user.home_ou if you want to library where the user has the account vs the library of the object (I think that's the difference).  As in: " helpers.get_org_setting(user.home_ou, 'org.bounced_emails') ||"
12:03 Megakeen phasefx: I'm going to talk to the employee who's currently receiving the bounce messages and see if they're just being forwarded from the notice-sending address. If that's the case I'll have to talk to our IT department (god help me) to sort it out.
12:04 Megakeen Either way, csharp++ phasefx++ pgardella++
12:05 kmlussier hopkinsju: Historically, it looks like we've needed MOBIUS to load 4 or 5 patches. MassLNC was able to take care of the rest. But I don't know if we'll see more this time around now that I've talked it up at the conference.
12:09 kmlussier @later tell yboston I wonder if Evergreen/DIG has anything useful to share here? http://opensource.com/business/​15/5/cfp-documentation-articles
12:09 pinesol_green kmlussier: The operation succeeded.

12:55 jeff ?
12:55 jeff oh. link provides context.
12:55 jeff yeah, that's not accurate.
12:55 jeff but i'm not going to nit pick.
12:57 * berick had the same thought, but shut himself up
12:58 hopkinsju Sadface
12:58 hopkinsju I guess jeff should have explained it better!
12:59 jeff lightning talk idea.
13:11 pgardella joined #evergreen
13:14 bshum jeff++ # planning for next conference already ;)
13:17 csharp jeff++
13:19 csharp jeff was using bogus auth keys (strings like HELLO_CHRIS) that he knew would generate osrferror.log messages (to my understanding of what I was seeing)
13:22 bshum Hmm
13:22 bshum For https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1458942 -- do I recall correctly that there's something we do in receipt template to only show the Notify by phone line if the option is selected?
13:22 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1458942 in Evergreen "In edit user, the hold notification format should rule if user get phone or email notices" (affected: 1, heat: 6) [Undecided,New]
13:23 bshum I'm thinking the bug could be reclassified a support issue in terms of how one decides to use Evergreen.
13:26 * bshum might start with some clarifying questions
13:28 alynn26 There is a way to do this with the receipts.  I'll have to look at my notes on how to do this.
13:30 bshum alynn26: If you find it, I'd be curious, I didn't have it in my notes offhand and didn't see it on our default receipts.
13:30 bshum Might be a handy thing to put into stock... :)
13:33 alynn26 %notify_by_phone_msg% shows the Phone number;  %notify_by_email_msg% shows the email address
13:45 alynn26 I just tried them, and they did not work like expected.  What does work is %notify_by_phone% this just gives the phone number in the holds record.
13:49 alynn26 I was wrong, and they do work.  Helps if you "Save Locally".  There is also %notify_by_text_msg% which is for text notification.
13:50 bshum alynn26++ # cool! thanks for checking on that for us
13:52 alynn26 I guess I need to update that on the documentation.
14:02 bshum "...I'm leaving on a jet plane..."
14:11 berick bshum: do you know when you'll be back again?
14:12 gmcharlt berick: the answer to that may depend on EOB action regarding the purchase of jet fuel
14:13 RoganH Are we supplying bshum with sushi in flight as well?  Special steward services?
14:16 berick hah, always wise to have just enough money for half of your fuel
14:25 wongon joined #evergreen
14:25 bshum Hehe
14:28 bshum I sometimes think about what it'd be like flying on a small private jet.
14:28 bshum But anyways...
14:46 kmlussier jklapes++
14:46 kmlussier I know he's never in here, but he deserves the karma for kicking off that discussion.
14:50 mrpeters is there written documentation for installing the angular based staff client written anywhere?  i followed the README for a checkout of master, and made sure to install websockets and used the <osname>-developer option on the Makefile but I'm getting just a blank page (though with source code referencing angular.min.js and such) so it seems I'm part way there, but maybe missing some dependencies that I'm overlooking in the readm
14:51 bshum mrpeters: Yes, it's not all the way finished and fleshed out, but it does exist.
14:51 bshum And yes, you need to do the extra steps, or it doesn't compile properly.
14:51 bshum mrpeters: http://evergreen-ils.org/~bshum/Ever​green-README.html#_optional_extra_st​eps_for_browser_based_staff_client is an example of some of the steps that we moved up into the main README (they need more work...)
14:52 bshum I think I pushed it to a working branch somewhere...
14:52 bshum Yes: http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=work​ing/Evergreen.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/​heads/collab/bshum/README-webclient
14:54 bshum I adapted those steps from a README that berick included for making the web client in the main repo.
14:57 bshum mrpeters: So the key is that those steps all happen before the configure, make, make install
14:57 bshum That way, the stuff is built and then copied in place when you do the usual make install
14:57 bshum Otherwise, you have nothing and the blank page issue.
14:58 bshum For further reference, the original web client README is:  Open-ILS/web/js/ui/default/staff/README.install
14:59 * bshum goes back to thinking about jet planes
15:00 berick fyi, if you're on ubuntu 14.04, you can install nodejs-legacy instead of installing from source/git
15:00 bshum berick++
15:03 berick or you could just install 2.8, which has a full build, then start hacking on top of that
15:03 bshum Also a good option.
15:10 bshum jboyer-isl: Question, for get_holds.sql; should this stay at 1 (whole consortium?) because we want to know what holds there are, period?  vs. only for a specific library
15:10 bshum jboyer-isl: Also, I had fun when I finally realized that the extract_holds.sh script was still calling get_items.sql not get_holds.sql and sending item data as the holds file  :D
15:12 jboyer-isl bshum: I use the same system id as the regular extracts. The thinking is that you care what your patrons want, not what items you have that other patrons want. (If memory serves, that system id is used to gather all holds from those pickup locations, not to look at items necessarily.
15:12 csharp oh, btw, awitter added spam filtering to evergreen-ils.org so the feedback address should be far less spammy than before - he's still tweaking though
15:12 bshum jboyer-isl: Ah alrighty.  I'll give that a whirl.
15:13 bshum jboyer-isl++ # thanks!  :)
15:13 bshum awitter++ # spam warrior
15:14 jboyer-isl Also, oops about the scripts. We don't use them so I didn't test them properly, just copy pasta.
15:16 berick jboyer-isl: tell me more about this pasta replicator
15:16 bshum jboyer-isl: No worries, gives me stuff to poke at someday.
15:18 Dyrcona "Our pasta who art in collander, draining be they noodles..."
15:19 jboyer-isl berick: Currently all it replicates are typos, I'm working on spaghetti next.
15:19 jboyer-isl Dyrcona++
15:19 mrpeters thanks!
15:19 mrpeters bshum++
15:48 bshum csharp: You guys got 1 TB RAM DB servers, you said?
15:49 bshum I'm working on new specs for more hardware, toying with the idea of supersizing our RAM request.
15:55 jboyer-isl bshum: I don't know if csharp did or not, but I have a DB with 1TB of RAM and I'd rate it above SSDs myself. (so long as you have 15K drives, that is. 5400 or 7200 are right out.)
15:55 bshum jboyer-isl: That's what I was contemplating too.
15:56 bshum Non-SSD storage, but with more than enough RAM to have to deal with major I/O issues.
15:56 bshum As the tradeoff.
15:56 jboyer-isl Then there are no concerns about TRIM support, etc. (also, how often do you really hit the disk? ;) )
16:00 graced joined #evergreen
16:05 jboyer-isl I will say for the logs, there's a lot of Pg tuning that you need to do to really make the best use of that much ram. I don't think we're 100% there, but things are in pretty good shape for the most part. (there are still sorting temp files created very occasionally)
16:06 jboyer-isl My hope is that I can get an identical model for testing, that would be huge.
