10:31 Bmagic tsbere: bug 1582354
10:31 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1582354 in Evergreen "Report able to show bibs where the last copy was deleted "cancels"" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1582354
10:33 tsbere Bmagic: ac.deleted::INT probably does your CASE faster. And if you want to include counts you should probably have "non-deleted", "deleted", and "total" counts, IMO.
10:33 * tsbere would also have probably skipped the entire in-db view and just defined the query in the IDL

11:48 Bmagic tsbere: I went through many versions. The problem with having the deleted count and the non deleted count columns was the case when there were no undeleted copies, it wouldn't connect and the row was removed
11:49 Bmagic tsbere: I did try to cast the boolean to an integer using ::numeric but that didn't work. I didnt try ::INT
11:49 tsbere Bmagic: count(CASE WHEN ac.deleted THEN ac.id ELSE NULL END) as deleted_count, count(CASE WHEN NOT ac.deleted THEN ac.id ELSE NULL END) as visible_count ?
11:50 Bmagic that looks like it would work, I will try that
11:55 jeff alas, http://sitka.bclibraries.ca/sup​port/staff-client-executables/ isn't loading for me.
11:57 jeff probably should be https://bc.libraries.coop/support​/sitka/staff-client-executables/
11:59 bshum So the automatic redirect doesn't like that eh?
12:00 bshum Is that a link on the downloads page?
12:00 bshum Ah, yeah okay I see it, under Mac stuff
12:00 * bshum goes to edit
12:03 jvwoolf joined #evergreen
12:04 rlefaive joined #evergreen
12:05 jeff though the mac 2.10 client there uses a build id of 2_10_2_sitka_0 so it is likely unsuitable for general use.
12:06 bshum jeff: Is the 2.8 like that too?
12:06 jeff dunno. didn't test.
12:06 * bshum doesn't have a Mac to peek
12:07 jeff "easy" enough to rebuild the app with a new gut / build id.
12:07 bshum True :)
12:07 bshum I can't remember who made the community ones last time, whether it was gmcharlt or rhamby_
12:08 bshum jeff: I changed the link to the https one anyways, though we should probably edit for content sometime, especially if there's stamp differences.

12:18 rhamby_ bshum: I've built a few and SITKA folks have built a few.
12:19 rhamby_ If we need a generic 2.10 one I can do that.
12:20 bshum rhamby_: I'd assume that's what jeff was checking for, but you'd have to ask him :)
12:23 bshum Generally I would imagine a generic 2.10 would be welcome all the same
12:24 jeffdavis The Sitka client was built by following these instructions: http://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?​id=mozilla-devel:building_the_staff_cli​ent#building_a_macintosh_staff_client
12:25 jeffdavis I wonder how hard it would be to add a build target that does that stuff automatically.
12:28 rjackson_isl Can default holds shelf expire inteval be turned off at just one branch? We have a consortium default of 7 days and one branch wants to not participate!
12:28 jeff jeffdavis++ thanks -- i was going to ask you i those were essentially the steps you use
12:28 rjackson_isl interval (need more coffee...)
12:29 bshum rjackson_isl: I would imagine that either you'd have to set the setting individually at all six, instead of applying one setting for the consortium, or you could set that library to have a setting that's higher than 7.  What do they want, infinity?
12:30 rjackson_isl bshum: I think that is correct - no expire
12:30 bshum rjackson_isl: Then I guess you'd have to do no consortium level setting, and individually apply 7 days interval to the other libraries one by one.  Or their system groups if they share any levels.
12:31 bshum Otherwise, the setting at consortium level will apply to all the children orgs.
12:31 rjackson_isl bshum++ confirmation!
12:31 bshum There isn't an opt-out way of doing it that I can think of, off the top of my head
12:31 bshum And it isn't retroactive either
12:32 rjackson_isl good point
12:32 bshum So once you make the change, it'll apply to new holds only
12:32 rjackson_isl right - always something worth mentioning!
12:32 bshum You'd have to use SQL or something to get rid of expire time for past holds for that org
12:32 bshum If you wanted to get crazy
12:33 mmorgan rjackson_isl: Does the branch have a Hold Expire Interval set? If so, it might make sense to make the shelf expire interval close to that, rather than none.
12:35 rjackson_isl mmorgan: my understanding (and I am sure I could be wrong) is they want to have the hold shelf expire not happen at all since they are charding fines after 7 days and want to not have the expire value show up to the patron
12:35 Dyrcona jeffdavis: It is significantly harder to build the Mac OS X client without access to a Mac, but it can be done.
12:35 rjackson_isl that way there is no confusion
12:38 mmorgan Ah. Ok, so it's a patron visibility issue.
12:38 bshum Dyrcona: jeffdavis: Given that the inside of the Mac OS X app hasn't changed since 2.2 or something old, aka, XUL 14, etc. and only the info.plist and contents for the app (which we can steal from the Linux 64 build files), couldn't we just find a way to copy in the bits we need and copy the rest forward?  (aka, cheat)
12:38 Dyrcona jeffdavis: Though, it may not be possible to put it in a dmg for easy installation unless you have a Mac to do so.
12:39 jeffdavis seems that perhaps mkfs.hfsplus can be used to make a dmg
12:39 jeffdavis but since the XUL client will be deprecated soon anyway...
12:39 Dyrcona bshum jeffdavis: Yeah, that's what I meant. You'd copy the Mac OS X version of XulRunner, build the plist and other files, drop them into the appropriate file structure and there you go.
12:41 bshum jeffdavis: For some version of "soon" anyways :)
12:41 bshum But I hear you
12:41 jeffdavis "soon enough that it's probably easier to just find someone with a Mac rather than adding a new build target" :)
12:41 Dyrcona Yeah, guess mkfs.hfsplus could be used, but doesn't look like you can add the pretty icons that Mac users expect.
12:43 sandbergja joined #evergreen
12:46 bshum Well if you can't have pretty icons on a Mac..... then...... well, yeah.
12:46 Dyrcona S'pose that could be handled by having the appropriate graphics and a .[whatever it's called] file hanging around.
12:47 * Dyrcona actually considering looking into it seriously back in 2011/2012 when he still used a Mac, but didn't have the time.
12:48 Dyrcona Now that I won't use Apple products..... Well, not really interested.

14:54 rfrasur kmlussier, when was the room scheduled at ala?
14:56 kmlussier rfrasur: It's Saturday afternoon. Let me look up the time.
14:56 rfrasur No need.  Day was actually what I needed.
14:57 kmlussier rfrasur: Ah, well, you're getting the time anyway. 4:30 - 5:30 https://www.eventscribe.com/2016/ala-annual/fsPo​pup.asp?Mode=presInfo&PresentationID=143885
14:59 rfrasur :D, thank you
15:04 mmorgan1 joined #evergreen
15:30 * rfrasur yawns
15:31 collum joined #evergreen
15:37 kmlussier rfrasur: Wake up!
15:37 rfrasur meh.  I don't want to.  I'm afraid if I do, I'll see more spreadsheets.
15:38 * tsbere considers emailing rfrasur a few dozen spreadsheet outputs from reports tested on concerto ;)
15:38 bshum "It is inevitable, it is your destiny."
15:38 JBoyer I feel like there's a "Pink Elephants on Parade" remake with spreadsheets just waiting to be put together, but sadly, I don't have the time.
15:39 * rfrasur just rolls her eyes and goes back to generating MORE reports.
15:39 rfrasur I think it's about time for a Matrix marathon.
15:39 JBoyer I'll take an eye roll. 2 steps up from a groan.
15:40 rfrasur Then groan happened about "spilled_coffee:30"
15:40 rfrasur It was a groan directed at life though.

15:44 * kmlussier grumbles about poor conference wifi
15:47 rfrasur Hmm, that reminds me of something I forgot.

17:32 Bmagic tsbere: I went ahead and added those two extra columns
17:33 Bmagic tsbere: I do prefer the real postgres view over the synthetic IDL view for transparency reasons. Searching for a reference to a table that doesn't exist drives me crazy!
18:16 hbrennan joined #evergreen
18:23 hbrennan I just noticed that staff-generated penalties/messages (notes) are not triggering the light blue framing around patron's name, nor the (See notes) link under their name.... (we're using 2.9.0)
18:24 hbrennan I've spent 20 minutes looking through Launchpad for a bug report, but "notes" "messages" etc are too broad of terms to find anything useful
18:24 hbrennan Wondering if anyone knows about a bug report already created, or if it's somehow just us
18:34 hbrennan Of course I discovered this at 2pm Alaska time, so it's crickets in here...
18:46 jihpringle hbrennan: I just tested on adding a note from standing penalties (Messages)and it triggered the light blue.  I believe "see notes" only applies to notes added through Other -> Notes
18:46 jihpringle my testing was on 2.10.2
18:47 hbrennan jihpringle: Thanks for testing
18:48 jihpringle no problem
18:52 hbrennan Oh, well now it's light blue.. only if there is a single note in Staff-Generated Penalties/Messages. Multiple notes are showing a burnt orange...
18:52 hbrennan Dang, guess I accidentally learned something
18:53 jihpringle I'd never seen that before but I can replicate it too
18:53 jihpringle I wonder when we got that colour
18:53 hbrennan Oh good, not just me being oblivious!
18:54 hbrennan We started adding notes when patrons use an ID rather than their card to checkout, so we have a lot of patrons now with multiple notes
20:17 bshum @later tell hbrennan Penalty colors in the xul client come from the Open-ILS/xul/staff_client/se​rver/skin/patron_display.css in case you ever feel like you want different colors (I changed it once upon a time)
20:17 pinesol_green bshum: The operation succeeded.
