11:08 rfrasur Morning, bmagic :-)
11:09 Bmagic Let the coffee commence!
11:09 Bmagic @coffee
11:09 * pinesol_green brews and pours a cup of Kenya AA Mathareini, and sends it sliding down the bar to Bmagic
11:09 rfrasur I'm workin' on a two day old Mountain Dew Code Red.  I know.  Battery acid.
11:09 Bmagic OMG
11:09 rfrasur hmm, that coffee sounds better
11:10 Bmagic @coffee rfrasur
11:10 * pinesol_green brews and pours a cup of Kenya Kirinyaga Kii Peaberry Espresso, and sends it sliding down the bar to rfrasur
11:11 rfrasur gracias mi amigo
11:18 Bmagic de nada

11:32 Bmagic So, I am considering creating a bug for this. Stop me if there already is something. We need a way for libraries to report bibs that had a copy attached but no longer does. AKA "cancels". I have spent some hours playing with views and clever queries.
11:33 Bmagic It seems like I need to create a triggered materialized table for this. Otherwise the queries that I have come up with are just too slow
11:35 tsbere Bmagic: Is this regarding the OCLC stuff?
11:35 Bmagic right
11:36 tsbere Bmagic: I would recommend a nightly stored proc to update a table, personally. Too many things to look for with a trigger.
11:36 Bmagic I see your script created some postgres structure
11:37 tsbere Yea, though not library specific it could easily be adapted to include library IDs, at a specific depth or otherwise
11:37 Bmagic for sure
11:38 Bmagic I was just wondering if this deserves a bug/tracking
11:43 JBoyer I imagine it's something that other consortia with OCLC members might like to see, putting it in LP doesn't mean you can't use a local version/alternative until it hits core (or doesn't).
11:44 mmorgan Bmagic: Is there a reason you don't delete records when the last copy is removed? You could then get the oclc numbers from deleted bibs by date.
11:45 Bmagic This isn't specific to OCLC. It's just getting the ability to get a list of bib records where you "used" to have copies and now you dont
11:45 Bmagic mmorgan: other branches/systems might still have their copies attached
11:46 Bmagic for a specified list of branches, we want a list of bibs where that group of branches HAD a copy and now have 0 copies between them
11:47 tsbere Bmagic: That is very hard to do in all cases
11:47 Bmagic it shouldnt be hard
11:48 tsbere Bmagic: Transfer the entire call number to another bib and you don't have a deleted call number or copies to look at, for example.
11:49 tsbere I suppose just changing the call number owning lib would be enough to trigger that kind of situation as well
11:49 Bmagic sure, we merge bibs all the time. The deleted bibs do not matter, just the final bib where the copies were moved, then deleted.
11:49 tsbere Do all copy statuses count or just ones that made it to active?
11:50 tsbere And I wasn't talking about deleting/merging a bib. I was talking "we moved these from non-deleted bib A to non-deleted bib B, and bib A still has stuff from other libraries"
11:51 tsbere The OCLC stuff I came up with was also, in part, intended for dealing with "the same OCLC number is on multiple bibs, and while *one* was deleted there are still non-deleted ones there" which is why it is based on the OCLC number and not bib IDs.
11:51 Bmagic tsbere: moving the volume doesn't matter. It's purely hinged ac.deleted
11:52 tsbere Bmagic: To clarify: My point is that "flagged as deleted" is not the only way a library stops having copies on a bib.
11:53 tsbere Bmagic: Also, just as a basic question: Do you need to worry about located URIs coming/going?

12:49 Bmagic tsbere: We are not worried about located URI's. We are assuming that the library deletes the copy. The status isn't in the equation. But that is just us. The subject gets more complex as you try to catch all scenarios. Therefore, it might not be something adopted by the community?
12:51 tsbere Bmagic: The number of scenarios is one of the reasons what I wrote for MVLC works the way it does. I don't have a generic "you had copies but now you don't" for a number of reasons, mainly because "*why* do you want that information?" becomes very important very quickly in my experience.
12:51 Bmagic I am starting to agree
12:51 tsbere Luckily the why usually eliminates a large number of things to keep track of
12:52 Bmagic If I come up with a view, I might throw it up on LP and see what happens

14:10 krvmga i have template overrides set up according to the documentation but it seems the system sometimes doesn't honor the overrides.
14:10 krvmga i have two sets of overrides: one for general opac template overrides and one for a specific institution's overrides
14:11 krvmga it seems sometimes the specific institution's overrides are being ignored
14:11 krvmga not sure what's happening :(
14:14 krvmga has anyone run into issues with multiple levels of template overrides?
14:31 tsbere krvmga: We don't use overrides for our customizations. I know how to, we just don't. But you could have things defined out of order, your paths could be wrong, or you may not have the institution's overrides defined in the right places.
14:31 tsbere krvmga: Or, if you have multiple bricks, you may have out of sync configs
14:42 krvmga tsbere: thanks.
14:42 krvmga tsbere++
14:42 tsbere krvmga: I find myself wondering which of the possibilities I listed helped you.
14:43 krvmga tsbere: it was a single server. when it was turned over to me, i was told it was all set to go (properly configured, etc.)
14:43 tsbere That would explain things
14:44 krvmga i just checked now and saw one variable line was omitted
14:44 krvmga i added the line. problem solved.
14:44 krvmga of course, it doesn't do anything for my trust level for the next time someone turns something over to me and tells me it's all set
14:44 krvmga :)
14:45 krvmga it was a missing PerlAddVar OILSWebTemplatePath line
14:46 krvmga in eg_vhost.conf

15:41 kmlussier @dessert [someone]
15:41 * pinesol_green grabs some Coconut Cream Cake for agoben
15:42 agoben :) Perfect for tea time!  Thanks!
15:43 * berick installs @crumpets plugin
15:44 jlitrell You gotta know what a crumpet is to understand cricket!
15:44 kmlussier I don't think I've ever tried a crumpet.
15:44 kmlussier But now that I've searched Google for crumpets, it looks like they're just an English muffin. Somehow, I thought they would be more exciting.
15:44 jlitrell They're the best.
15:45 jlitrell wat no.  Crumpets >>>> English muffins
15:45 jlitrell The butter gets in all those little holes... mmmmmm
15:46 kmlussier Well, with English muffins, the butter gets in all those nooks and crannies. Same thing, right?
15:47 tsbere There are differences, though I have only had crumpets once or twice.
15:47 jlitrell No, because when you toast it the stupid peaks get all sharp and hurt your mouth.
15:47 jlitrell English muffins are good as hamburger buns, and that's it.
15:48 kmlussier jlitrell: I can honestly say I have never hurt my mouth eating an English muffin. But I will withhold my judgment on a crumpet until I've actually tried one.
15:48 tsbere jlitrell: I could argue that you are over-toasting your english muffins if they are able to hurt your mouth.
15:48 kmlussier berick: See what you started?
15:48 jlitrell pfft
15:48 mmorgan crumpets++
15:48 JBoyer Also,
15:48 JBoyer jlitrell++
15:49 JBoyer for that TMNT refernce.
15:49 jlitrell Yay!  I was wondering.  :-D
15:49 jlitrell English muffins are boring and stupid, and crumpets are basically nature's perfect food.
15:50 berick hm, now I need to find some for real
15:50 jeff okay, i missed the TMNT ref, but i'm happy to say that i picked the correct line once I knew to look for it.
