10:02 Dyrcona SIPServer has too many hard-coded values: logging, the Socket::Linux parameters, possibly more.

10:04 pinesol_green berick: Quote #25: "<Dyrcona> how about we rename it to DONT_README" (added by gmcharlt at 12:00 PM, May 15, 2012)
10:04 berick heh
10:04 Dyrcona :)
10:06 * Dyrcona just changed the hard-coded local6 to local5 in his SIPServer.pm.
10:06 Dyrcona Because the syslog server was kind of expecting it on local5.

10:17 miker Dyrcona: I thin you'd logged out when I said this last night, but the service list in opensrf_core.xml tells those services to register themselves with a "foreign" router. public, in the common case. all services treat the private router as their home router. the list in opensrf.xml is just the list of services that should start
10:18 Dyrcona miker: Thanks! There's a comment in the example file about it possibly not being needed in the future.
10:19 Dyrcona Hence, my query.
10:31 sam_l joined #evergreen
10:32 sam_l Good morning! Is Evergreen 2.11 working on Windows 10?
10:33 rhamby sam_l: server or staff client?
10:34 rhamby sam_l: there is a staff client that will run on Windows 10 but although theoretically possible porting the server software to Windows would be a huge undertaking (so no)
10:34 sam_l Staff client, and thank you!
10:36 sam_l rhamby++
10:37 sam_l One of our branches just got new computers, and we wanted to give correct instructions to IT before they went to set them up.
10:42 csharp sam_l: from our scant testing, Windows 10 works fine
10:44 Dyrcona It works fine on our Windows 10 thin clients.
10:45 csharp I would actually predict better performance based on everything I know about Windows 10 (which isn't a whole lot)
10:49 sam_l Thanks. I passed the info on.

11:40 _bott_ Bizarre problem of the day.  Syndetics data isn't showing up.  It's getting downloaded and I can access it directly from /opac/extras/ac/summary/html/r/<bib_id>  but I end up with "No Content Available" in the /record view.  The tabs for Summary, Author Notes, TOC, etc. are properly added/removed, so it knows what's getting there, but the ctx is never getting populated.  I can't find anything missing!
11:42 _bott_ One clue, I have a Ubuntu Precise install that works fine.  Problems are under Xenial.

12:36 alynn26 I have one staff client that is intermettiantly giving me "This page uses an unsupported technology that is no longer available by default." error. It does not actually care what she does on the client.  Any hit as to how to fix this.  The client is 2.9.2 on Win7.
12:39 Dyrcona alynn26: Sounds like the XulRunner version is too recent... Would this client be the Firefox plugin by any chance?
12:40 alynn26 No, standard Windows Client. I do have Firefox on the machine.
12:40 Dyrcona OK. Just having Firefox installed should not be a problem.
12:43 bshum It's possible for Firefox settings to bleed over into the staff client; but I doubt that could be it.  Might be worth clearing profiles anyways, and starting from scratch to see if that changes anything.
12:43 Dyrcona I haven't seen that in a long time, but it is worth looking into.
12:44 bshum Based on the error message, I agree with Dyrcona though that it sounds like a remote XUL error with too recent Xulrunner running the client
12:44 bshum The packaged version shouldn't break that way though
12:44 tsbere Hmmm
12:45 alynn26 Bshum: that is my next step, uninstall the Client, and wipe all setting, then reinstall. It is the same package I have installed everywhere.  The oddity is it is just one machine.
12:45 tsbere I recommend logging in and checking Admin->For Developers->Extension Manager to see what is enabled. And probably disable everything you can.
12:45 bmills joined #evergreen
12:46 Dyrcona tsbere: I was getting there.... :)
12:46 bmills going to start going through the backlog of emails/tickets
12:46 Dyrcona I just looked at my Firefox's extensions.xpiState. I think if it has the same path as the one used in XulRunner, that could be a problem.
12:47 Dyrcona Or not, even....
12:47 bmills *whoops wrong tab!
12:47 tsbere I know system-wide extensions that drop into Firefox will also drop into XulRunner
12:48 alynn26 Firefox is not used on this machine by the person who usually uses it. I may just uninstall firefox and all of its extensions also.
12:48 Dyrcona tsbere: Right.
12:48 Dyrcona alynn26: No. Just go to the Admin menu in the staff client as tsbere suggested and disable any extensions there.
12:49 alynn26 Ok, I'll try what Tsbere suggested.
12:50 Dyrcona Not sure what else would do that besides wrong XulRunner version or extensions....
12:51 Dyrcona bmills: It's nice to know that you're working through you backlog, though. Makes me feel better, that I'm caught up. :)
12:53 bmills Dyrcona: still sick/post-holiday head fog! hopefully this tea will shake it off…
12:53 berick @tea bmills
12:53 * pinesol_green brews and pours a pot of Bi Luo Chun Green Tea (Pi Lo Chun), and sends it sliding down the bar to bmills (http://ratetea.com/tea/teavivre/bi-l​uo-chun-green-tea-pi-lo-chun/6490/)
12:53 alynn26 bmills: don't fill so bad, I still have a backlog too.
12:55 Dyrcona bmills++  alynn26++ # For encouragement.
12:56 alynn26 Well, just checked and there were no extensions loaded on that machine.  There were several Plugins, but no extensions.
12:57 Dyrcona alynn26: Try disabling some of the plugins.
12:57 alynn26 disabled them all. We will see what happens.
12:58 alynn26 Thanks, If this does not work, then I'll do a complete reinstall.
12:58 alynn26 Drycona++, tsbere++, Bshum++
12:59 Dyrcona Nifty. I seem to have Flashplayer and iTunes Application Detector in my staff client. Guess I can play games, listen to Music, and circulate books at the same time. :)
13:00 bshum My favorite was the antivirus plugins
13:00 bshum Just in case a virus ever was passed through the client I suppose

14:39 * kmlussier looks at the calendar, realizes we're supposed to have a dev meeting today.
14:39 pinesol_green joined #evergreen
14:39 kmlussier Since an agenda hasn't gone out ahead of time, what do you all think about scheduling the dev meeting for next week? I can put out a Doodle poll before I wrap up for the day.
14:41 * phasefx is okay with that; Nawras Ali from Jordan was going to poke his head in, but I can point him to the doodle poll
14:42 kmlussier There's somebody from Jordan who is looking at Evergreen? Cool!
14:43 Nawjo Hello everyone,
14:43 Dyrcona Nawjo: Hello, and welcome.
14:43 * Dyrcona forgot about the meeting today.
14:43 Nawjo Yes, we're interested to use Evergreen in our libraries here in Jordan :)
14:44 kmlussier Welcome Nawjo!
14:44 Nawjo Thank you!
14:45 berick i'm good with pushing the dev meeting to next week
14:45 berick welcome Nawjo
14:46 Nawjo Thank you @berick
14:48 bshum So maybe it should be ar-JO, instead of ar-AR
14:48 bshum https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/697926
14:48 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 697926 in Evergreen "ar-AR locale is probably wrong" [Low,Confirmed]
14:49 * bshum waves hello to Nawjo too
14:49 Nawjo Yes, ar-JO is fine
14:49 Nawjo Hello bshum :)
14:49 kmlussier OK, I'll wait another 3 minutes for any potential objections to delaying the meeting. I can send out a message to the dev list if there are no objections.
14:50 Nawjo Are we going to discuss Arabic support next week? I hope so :)
14:51 bshum Nawjo: I'm curious about the language of your bibliographic records.  I'm not too familiar with other sources of data, but I wonder how it'd present itself in the catalog for searching, etc.
14:51 kmlussier Nawjo: It looks like it's already been added to the agenda, so yes! :)
14:52 kmlussier phasefx: Was Eva planning to attend too? I see her name is on the agenda.
14:53 phasefx kmlussier: I hadn't heard from her
14:54 Nawjo Kmlussier, Great!
14:54 bshum Like are the records primarily in english, but they have translated arabic strings for things like title, etc.
14:54 bshum I've seen that before for other language records like chinese, etc.
14:55 bshum I'd love to get some sample records to append to Concerto for future testing, actually.... hmm....
14:55 Dyrcona Georgian records are quite pretty....
14:55 Dyrcona I can't read it, but the script is nice.
14:56 kmlussier OK, poll for scheduling the meeting next week is at http://doodle.com/poll/esxgzfum2cwkbv7v
14:56 Nawjo Bushum, bibliographic records are in Arabic, I'll send sample of data to evergreen team later
14:59 Nawjo here is the link of my EG installation: http://63.142.251.63 , with RTL stylesheet
15:00 Nawjo with RTL stylesheet applied*
15:01 bshum Oooh neat!
15:02 bshum I've been thinking about the RTL vs. LTR issues lately
15:02 bshum I'd love to see the stylesheet this was created with
15:02 kmlussier That's interesting. So the RTL stylesheet isn't dependent on the locale that's selected? I see everything goes RTL when French is selected.
15:02 Nawjo actually, I'm not familiar with EG yet. I'm trying to apply Arabic translation, then I'll add some testing data .
15:02 bshum It's probably forced
15:03 Nawjo yes exactly ! Stylesheets must change according to locale , but I couldnt achieve that
15:03 bshum I've been thinking about how to design some variable that would detect which direction based on the chosen language and apply appropriately
15:03 bshum But having a stylesheet in the first place is helpful too
15:04 Nawjo I think there must be an independent stylesheet with all RTL rules, and in case Arabic is selected, RTL stylesheet must be applied after LTR stylesheet.
15:05 Nawjo I don't know where to place such code (if sentence )
15:08 bshum Hmmmm
15:10 bshum So in parts/base.tt2, we call like <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="[% ctx.opac_root %]/css/style.css" />  Maybe we can wrap that with some logic to check for the locale and add another style sheet file depending on what is chosen?
15:11 bshum I mean, that'd be super hacky, there's probably more logical ways of expressing a change than hardcoding a check for the language we want done in RTL
15:12 Nawjo hmm, I have no idea :(
15:12 bshum Nawjo: So your RTL stylesheet is a separate file that changes what's in the main one now?
15:13 bshum Or you just edited the original file to make a new one
15:13 bshum Can work with either one I think
15:13 * bshum is just thinking aloud
15:13 Nawjo I edited the original one but I can put the RTL rules in a seperate file and send it to you .
15:14 bshum I'm not an expert in translation stuff, but I really am very interested in making it all work better.
15:14 Nawjo Thank you, bshum. it's just related to css files.
15:15 bshum Nawjo: Sure, makes sense.  Good place to start for sure.
15:15 bshum Helps too that Launchpad shows over 95% translated for Arabic too.  Means when we pull the strings next time, it'll give us something to play with too.
15:15 bshum Not that I can read it...
15:15 bshum But uh... it'll be very pretty :)
15:16 Nawjo Yes, I hope to see Arabic in the upcoming version :)
15:16 kmlussier bshum: The stylesheet is here - http://63.142.251.63/eg/opac/css/style.css - if you want to look at it.
15:17 bshum kmlussier: Of course, good call :)
15:18 Nawjo It's the original stylesheet with RTL rules.
15:18 Nawjo I can put RTL rules in a seperate file, how can I send it to you?
15:21 bshum I'll play with that some more too
15:21 bshum Fits in nicely with a conference proposal I was thinking to work on this week about translation efforts for the project :)
15:23 kmlussier That Novelist link in the screenshot that was sent on the general list looks custom to me.
15:23 bshum kmlussier: Agreed.
15:24 kmlussier bshum: OK, thanks for confirming.
15:24 bshum It doesn't seem to be part of the table itself
15:24 bshum So not copy_table.tt2
15:24 bshum But maybe more like the bib details page
15:24 bshum Maybe above in parts/record/summary.tt2
15:27 kmlussier Heh, I missed your last few comments, but those are the two files I put in my e-mail. :)
15:30 bshum Hehe
15:30 bshum Just guessing
15:31 kmlussier It's possible they could have put the link below the closing table tag in copy_table.tt2. It's hard to tell.
15:32 bshum Hmm, that's possible I guess
15:36 kmlussier Nawjo / bshum: It might be worthwhile to open a Launchpad bug on RTL being locale dependent.
15:40 Nawjo hmmm
15:41 bshum kmlussier: Sure, I'd probably make a bug like "add support for RTL for Evergreen catalog" to start with.
15:41 bshum I don't want to think about the web client yet :)
15:41 kmlussier bshum: Sounds good to me.
15:41 bshum Probably something to roadmap for 2.12, right?
15:42 bshum If we can get more traction on it
15:42 kmlussier bshum: Sure, if there's somebody willing to work on it for 2.12.
15:43 kmlussier I think it would be an awesome 2.12 feature!
15:43 Nawjo yeah!
15:44 Nawjo Great! I tried to edit stylesheets of web client
15:44 Nawjo it works for some parts
15:45 Nawjo the only problem is switching RTL-LTR according to language selected
15:45 bshum Well locale setting for the web client isn't quite perfect yet either.
15:47 Nawjo it shows Arabic-Argentina, I think it should be changed to Arabic or Arabic- Jordan
15:47 Nawjo I'm talking about web client locale selector.
15:48 bshum Sure, that'd be helpful :)
15:49 Nawjo :)
15:49 bshum I wonder how we'll tell Launchpad to change that, hmm
15:50 Nawjo I have no idea
15:56 bshum Eh, worse case, we copy down all the ar-AR stuff, copy it into a new directory called ar-JO, and then upload it back right?  :)
15:56 bshum It probably isn't quite like that.
15:57 Nawjo yes it can be :)
16:00 Dyrcona It's bzr, right? You should be able to rename the files in bzr.
16:01 mmorgan joined #evergreen
16:01 Dyrcona Or, the directory, even.
16:02 bshum Well, we'll probably want to sync it with what's in LP currently, so that we keep what we've got so far before renaming.  But yes, something like that I guess.
16:02 bshum Each thing is its own file
16:02 bshum The directory is like "tpac" and then in there is each locale's PO
16:02 bshum so the default is ar.po
16:02 bshum We'd want to rename every ar.po to ar_JO.po
16:03 bshum Or something like that
16:04 * bshum ponders that all further
16:07 Nawjo I'm thinking of what you've said, I'll be silent as I don't know a lot about this :D
16:08 bshum Nawjo: It's okay, I'm just thinking aloud till someone smarter comes along and says, No, do it this way better.  :)
16:08 Nawjo I'm not that one :D haha
16:09 Dyrcona :)
16:51 Nawjo bshum I've just sent the styles to your mail :)
16:51 bshum Nawjo: Cool, look forward to playing with that more in the coming days
16:52 bshum I'll send you what I can put together to try new RTL variable detecting when I get a test server put together to try things out
16:53 Nawjo that's good :)

17:00 pinesol_green News from qatests: Test Success <http://testing.evergreen-ils.org/~live>
17:02 Nawjo I can't wait till I see our libraries using Arabic Evergreen ILS:) Thank you for your help and support. Your team is friendly and nice, nice to talk to you all :)
17:02 vlewis kmlussier  # I'm working on https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1522644  webclient: Transfer title holds issues  So you think I should move or remove the button?
17:02 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1522644 in Evergreen "webclient: Transfer title holds issues" [Medium,New] - Assigned to Victoria Lewis (sykeslewis)
17:03 * mmorgan votes for removal.
17:04 kmlussier vlewis: Personally, I think we should remove it. Or maybe comment it out?
17:04 kmlussier That way, if somebody really wants to use it, they could easily reinstate it.
17:05 mmorgan That sounds like a good solution to me.
17:07 kmlussier vlewis: There were concerns when I tried to remove it from the xul client a while back, but now it's really easy to select all the holds and select the "transfer selected" option.
17:07 * kmlussier had hoped to test some of the new web client fixes today, but got caught up in a more tedious task. Sigh...
17:09 mmorgan left #evergreen
17:09 vlewis I can comment it out.
17:11 kmlussier Better than my alert suggestion from last month - http://irc.evergreen-ils.org/​evergreen/2016-11-29#i_277681
