08:41 Dyrcona Trying to use my scripts to build 2.7.4 (I have my reasons) and I have to cherry-pick a fix for xulrunner downloads moving and to edit the script to skip some stuff for webstaff client, etc.

09:07 bshum Dyrcona: Sounds about right.
09:07 bshum I don't think we added the fix for xulrunner moving till after 2.7.6+
09:08 Dyrcona Right.
09:08 Dyrcona I'm going to make a custom upgrade tarball for someone to go from 2.7.4 to 2.9.0, so I thought I'd install 2.7.4 first to test it.
09:11 Dyrcona Only took 45 minutes to build the vm, install OpenSRF, install Evergreen, start services, and login with a staff client.
09:11 bshum Fun times.
09:12 Dyrcona I had to connect to my old precise vm with virt-viewer the other day and enter my new ssh key by hand.
09:12 Dyrcona That was fun times. :)

09:21 csharp netsplits--
09:29 Stompro Does anyone make a practice of setting the preferred pickup location for the customer when creating accounts?  Or going back and setting all the preferred pickup locations to the customers current home library?
09:30 tsbere Stompro: The latter, from a patron-placed-hold POV, is the same as not having it set, as far as I know.
09:31 tsbere Stompro: I also have no idea if our members are setting that at registration, but at least one member wanted "their pickup library isn't US" in a report of their patrons recently...
09:32 Stompro I'm looking at it from the staff placed hold front.  We are having too much trouble with the fact that the staff memebers home library gets set as the default hold pickup location and wish that it was always set to the patron's.
09:33 tsbere I thought it was the workstation OU. I could be wrong.
09:33 bshum https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1167541
09:33 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1167541 in Evergreen "Pickup library defaults to Home OU of staff, instead of patron when placing holds" [Medium,In progress] - Assigned to Jeff Godin (jgodin)
09:34 tsbere Ahhh.
09:34 tsbere In our case it is usually the same thing anyway, which is why I probably thought differently
09:34 Stompro bshum++
09:34 Stompro Our subs move around alot, so it gets confusing to them, and they have the least amount of screen time with the system, so it gets missed all the time.
09:36 Dyrcona If it is home ou it should be working ou.
09:36 bshum I get the sense from the bug discussion that workstation ou was the way people were leaning
09:37 Dyrcona And, that sound like: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1503867
09:37 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1503867 in Evergreen "open-ils.circ.copy_transit.receive uses home_ou when it should use ws_ou" [Undecided,New]
09:38 bshum Heh
09:39 Dyrcona Maybe jeff and I can do a deal: I'll commit his fix and he can commit mine. :)
09:40 csharp Stompro: we ran a script to set the default pickup location the patron's home library - it saved lots of headaches
09:41 jeff Dyrcona: eek. old bug. thanks for the reminder.
09:42 jeff maybe i need an icinga check for "old bug still assigned to you!"
09:43 Dyrcona heh
09:43 bshum jeff: https://launchpad.net/~jgodin/+assigned​bugs?search=Search&field.status=In%​20Progress&orderby=id&start=0
09:43 bshum :D
09:43 bshum jeff: Or https://launchpad.net/~jgodin/+assignedbug​s?search=Search&orderby=id&start=0 for just all of them, not just the "in progress" ones
09:43 Dyrcona Or just click the link on Launchpad "Bugs Assigned to Me," but of course you have be logged in to Launchpad.
09:44 * bshum should finish packing.
09:45 * jeff nods
09:46 jeff the information is easy to access it. adding a check makes something yell at me instead of requiring me to check. :-)
09:46 jeff s/access it/access/
09:46 Dyrcona jeff: Right.
09:47 Dyrcona LP has a Python library, but I've had trouble getting it to work lately.
09:47 jeff of course, spending time making it harder for me to ignore assigned bugs might be optimizing the wrong end of the problem. :-)
09:48 bshum Heh

10:48 bshum phasefx++ # tiny URL to My Account sounds like a great idea, actually...
10:48 bshum I think for most modern smart phones, it would work
10:48 * jeff looks for context in his inbox
10:48 bshum But anybody with a dumb phone for hate us
10:49 bshum *would/for
10:52 jeff ah.
10:52 jeff i has context now.
10:52 Dyrcona If you have dumb phone, a long URL ain't workin' either.

11:37 mmorgan typos--
11:41 * Dyrcona blames the cold office for typos.
11:42 Dyrcona And, I just made a doozy on a LP comment "not" for "note", which turned a positive response into a negative.

12:14 Bmagic Anyone have issues with staff not watching the checkin screen while checking in? Obviously when the item is slated for a hold, the computer makes noise, but otherwise, only the sound from the barcode scanner is feedback.
12:14 Dyrcona Yes, all the time.
12:14 Bmagic We might be dealing with bandwidth issues and items with a great deal of holds, causing the system to take longer than a second to check something in. Meanwhile, the staff is scanning more stuff in
12:15 Dyrcona I think the majority of lost, deleted, and mysteriously found in the library items come from that.
12:15 Stompro Does anyone have experience copying reports at the DB level?  I need to create reports for each of 34 locations, and I don't feel like clicking that much.  I created all the reporter.report entries, do I just need to add a reporter.schedule entry for each one also?
12:15 Bmagic Is there already a wishlist item for some sort of audio feedback?
12:15 Dyrcona Well, our members love alerts on items, so that doesn't help eithere.
12:16 Dyrcona Alert window pops up, staff don't notice, scan next item, alert goes away on the return sent by the scanner.
12:16 Dyrcona Good luck with audio feedback in the web client.
12:16 Dyrcona You'll have to embed a media object and tell it to play.
12:16 Bmagic Stompro: are you trying to copy a template? Or copy the run settings?
12:17 Bmagic Dyrcona: The web based staff client came to mind, a hurdle for sure
12:18 Stompro Bmagic, just the run settings, and set the report to run and email to a different address (org_unit.email should work).    I wonder if I need to add a reporter.pending_reports; entry also.
12:18 Bmagic Stompro: If you want the report to run for everyone, you will need to insert into reporter.schedule as well, but, boy do I have some questions for you about this
12:18 Bmagic Stompro: in each branch context, if the template filters on copy location, you will have to do a lot more work
12:20 Bmagic pending_reports? I don't have that table. is that a 2.9 thing?
12:20 Bmagic oh, that's a view
12:21 Stompro Bmagic, it looks to me like the filtering options are in the reporter.report.data info.   I just changed each one to reflect the correct OU.  ' {"P0":{"transform":"relative_date​","params":["-1"]},"P1":["119"]}'  where the 119 is different for each report entry.
12:22 Bmagic Stompro: there you go, you need to edit he email address in reporter.schedule and reporter.report.data with each insert. If you get all of that right, you should be good to go!
12:22 Bmagic You might have concerns about permission with regard to the owner as well
12:23 Bmagic folder owner and report owner
12:23 Stompro Hmm, well so far everyone has been able to view the report output, and no one else needs to edit the report, so maybe I won't have to deal with that.
12:24 Bmagic Stompro: yeah, if they don't need to see it in the staff client, then you should be good. The emailed URL will work as long as they have a valid actor.usr with VIEW_REPORTS (I believe)
12:30 jihpringle joined #evergreen
12:37 Stompro Bmagic, I wonder if this is a bug, in the staff client, if I edit a report and add an email address and change the schedule, then save the report, no entry is created in the schedule table?
12:51 Dyrcona Stompro: I don't think you're meant to edit reports like that, but I could be wrong.
12:52 * Dyrcona doesn't mess with reports in the client.
13:30 vlewis joined #evergreen
13:31 kmlussier I don't have an answer to Stompro's question, but editing the email address in a report should work.
13:31 kmlussier Stompro: Does it work if you save it as a new report?
13:34 sandbergja joined #evergreen
13:42 Dyrcona kmlussier: Did you get my email from yesterday afternoon? Our mail server had some troubles yesterday.
13:42 * Dyrcona waves to sandbergja.
13:42 kmlussier Dyrcona: Yes, I did. But I've been a little tied up.
13:43 kmlussier jlitrell and I are visiting C/W MARS today. We'll be heading to the hotel soon.
13:43 Dyrcona That's OK. Just wanted to make sure you got it.
13:43 Dyrcona The logs said you did, but....
13:44 Bmagic Stompro: Perhaps it's an owner issue? Or folder owner
13:51 vlewis kmlussier:  I'm not seeing the screenshot for LP bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1502292   Thanks vlewis
13:51 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1502292 in Evergreen "web client: Need ability to add volumes from the bib record" [Undecided,New]
13:52 kmlussier vlewis: bshum mentioned that to me, but I didn't have time to fix it. If you add a .png to the download, it should appear.
13:53 kmlussier vlewis: Basically, it was the screenshot of the Add to Bucket and Mark For buttons in the web client. My suggestion was to add a button there.
13:53 kmlussier vlewis: Thanks for looking at it!
13:55 vlewis kmlussier: Thanks

22:14 bshum kmlussier: just to check, what time are we getting folks together tomorrow?
