10:04 Freddy_Enrique well.... Seems I need some practice
10:05 Freddy_Enrique Good morning kmlussier :)
10:05 kmlussier Bmagic / dbwells / miker: We held off on the maintenance release last week so that we could take advantage of all the work done during Bug Squashing Week. Would this Wednesday work for all of your for the maintenance release?
10:06 * kmlussier plans to go through a bunch of the signedoff bugs that have not yet been merged.
10:06 kmlussier Freddy_Enrique: Good morning!
10:06 dbwells kmlussier: yes, sounds fine
10:16 gsams Good morning #evergreen
10:20 gsams One of my libraries ran into an issue on the patron edit screen where it doesn't load properly.  The buttons load, but the form never does.  It's only popped up on 3 accounts that all happen to be linked.
10:21 jeff gsams: Meaning it fails to load on some patron accounts but not others, and the staff member you are using does not seem to be the determining factor?
10:23 gsams jeff: That is correct.  Most patrons, the editor loads.  These 3 patrons do not.  Didn't matter what staff account was used to view.
10:28 jeff Okay. If it was "patron/user editor works for some staff members, doesn't load fully for others", my first suggestion would be to check the staff member's Work OU assignments. That is not applicable here.
10:28 Dyrcona jeff: gsams said the 3 patron accounts are linked.
10:28 Dyrcona So, the code to fetch linked patron information is likely buggy. :)
10:35 miker kmlussier: at this point it's mostly dbwells and Bmagic building a tarball, so if their schedule permits
10:36 Bmagic kmlussier: Wednesday is good for me
10:37 kmlussier OK, thanks! I'll update the calendar.
10:37 gsams Dyrcona: Would that persist if the accounts were unlinked?
10:38 Dyrcona gsams: No idea, 'cause I don't really know what the problem is, just speculating.
10:38 Dyrcona We don't have any linked accounts, AFAIK.
10:38 gsams Dyrcona: Fair enough!  I've not seen this before, and nothing looks out of place.  I did test that idea and it does still persist.
10:38 jeff gsams: javascript console errors would be helpful. you might find them easier to access from a browser, by logging into the opac as a staff member then loading https://example.com/eg/actor/user/register?usr=123 where example.com is your evergreen staff server hostname and 123 is the internal / database id of a problem user.
10:39 gsams jeff:  I'll give that a shot, thanks!
10:39 Dyrcona You can also clear the staff client console before opening one of the patrons.
10:39 jeff gsams: this assumes you are not talking about the web client, but the xul client. also, i may have made poor assumptions about what version of Evergreen you're on, but let me know if that helps find more detailed errors to go on. :-)
10:40 Dyrcona I assumed the XUL staff client, also.
10:40 gsams jeff: We are on 2.11.3 currently, and it is the XUL client
10:44 * csharp has not heard similar reports on 2.11.mumblemumble
10:46 csharp but in general dojo-ish interfaces not loading points to perm issues in my experience
10:46 pastebot "gsams" at 64.57.241.14 pasted "Error for register page." (20 lines) at http://paste.evergreen-ils.org/384
10:47 gsams There was an error, I think I might be able to fix that.
10:50 jeff gsams: your patrons may have unusual settings. you might want to look at SELECT name, value FROM actor.usr_setting WHERE usr = 123; (again, where 123 is the database id of the patron). Note that that output will likely require redaction to remove potentially private data.
10:51 gsams jeff: Yep, looks like sms notify is the problem
10:52 Dyrcona @blam sms_notify
10:52 pinesol_green Dyrcona: http://www.firstpersontetris.com/
10:52 Dyrcona hah.
10:52 Dyrcona @blame sms_notify
10:52 pinesol_green Dyrcona: sms_notify HAXORED Dyrcona's SERVERZ!!!!
11:06 csharp Dyrcona: do you use virt-sysprep when setting up your VMs?
11:06 Dyrcona csharp: No.
11:06 gsams jeff++ #thanks for pointing me in the right direction, and saving me from further possible issues along the way!
11:07 csharp Dyrcona: just stumbled on it - looks like it has a lot of potential for customizing stock VMs to clone from
11:07 csharp (part of libguestfs-tools)

13:22 Jenn Hi All!
13:23 Jenn I have a question about new staff permissions if anyone can help me.
13:24 csharp Jenn: ask away
13:25 Jenn I'm new to Evergreen, about 6 weeks worth, I hired a new staff member, I created her account and no matter what I do her "patron registration" is grey'ed out.
13:25 pinesol_green [evergreen|Jason Boyer] LP1702911: Correct Barcode State in Add Item - <http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=​Evergreen.git;a=commit;h=a3a3906>
13:26 Freddy_Enrique me: looking up the word ask away
13:32 mmorgan Jenn: My first question is (almost) always - Does the staff user have a Working Location assigned?
13:34 Jenn mmorgan: how would I check that?
13:36 mmorgan From the full patron in the staff client, go to Other -> User Permission Editor. You need to have permission to do this, but if you are creating staff users, you probably do.
13:39 Jenn mmorgan: THANK YOU!
13:41 * mmorgan assumes that did the trick?
13:41 kmlussier mmorgan++
13:41 bshum mmorgan++
13:44 hbain joined #evergreen
13:45 Jenn Yes, thank you! mmorgan, I really appreciate! Have a good one everyone!
13:50 hbain Hi, I have a newbie question: is Evergreen automatically connected to LOC authority data or do I need to enable it somehow? I can't seem to validate any of my authorities when creating/editing MARC records
13:52 Freddy_Enrique oh....I meant to ask that as well
13:53 Freddy_Enrique it seems that's one feauture that comes with the web client
13:54 maryj_ joined #evergreen
13:56 kmlussier hbain: It's not connected. You need to load authority records to validate headings when creating/editing MARC records.
13:57 abneiman hbain: Freddy_Enrique: Evergreen validates against your local authority file, not against an outside service
13:57 abneiman oops, kmlussier ahead of me as usual :)
13:57 kmlussier abneiman: I'm trying to pick up my pace. mmorgan kept beating me last week. :)
13:57 abneiman ha!
13:58 maryj joined #evergreen
13:58 hbain so how do i go about loading authority records?
13:58 mmorgan just a lucky streak ;-)
13:59 kmlussier hbain: There are a few ways. You can load them from the client through the MARC Batch Import/Export interface, available from the Cataloging menu.
14:00 kmlussier hbain: If using the command line, you can also using something called MARC stream importer to load the records.
14:00 kmlussier I think there are other methods as well that I'm not as familiar with.
14:07 Dyrcona There are other methods, but those two are generally the easiest.
14:12 hbain So, to be clear, I need to find and download the authority files and then import them into Evergreen? What file formats should I be looking for?
14:15 kmlussier hbain: The ones I've used are in MARC (.mrc) format. I believe the libraries I work with purchase them through a service, like Backstage.
14:16 Dyrcona hbain: We get ours from Backstage, and I load them. We do quarterly updates.
14:17 Dyrcona They also do some bibliographic record cleanup for us.
14:17 hbain Ah, okay. My library doesn't really have a budget, so this will be interesting.
14:18 hbain I was hired as a cataloger but I've ended up needing to do most of our Evergreen setup as well, so I'm feeling slightly overwhelmed
14:24 pinesol_green [evergreen|Bill Erickson] LP#1691860 Webstaff audio alert nosound.wav - <http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=​Evergreen.git;a=commit;h=6cf8eac>

14:24 abneiman hbain: you can get authority records for free from LC at http://authorities.loc.gov/ but you'll need to put them in one at a time.  I believe LC also allows Z39.50 access to authorities.
14:25 Dyrcona I don't think Evergreen can import authorities via Z39.50, can it?
14:26 kmlussier They also have bulk downloads at http://id.loc.gov/download/. It's not in mrc format, but I was wondering if MarcEdit could convert them from RDF/XML format.
14:27 abneiman Dyrcona: I wasn't sure if that was something that can be configured
14:32 terran hbain: hang in there, you are in the right place to ask questions!
14:45 DPearl joined #evergreen
14:57 Freddy_Enrique terran++
15:01 Freddy_Enrique I believe it is possible to convert rdf/xml to mrc. But it is not that simple
15:03 hbain most of the information I can find is about converting the other way
15:03 Dyrcona I don't know what's in those bulk download files, but I suspect it isn't the full authority record.s
15:03 Dyrcona Yeah.
15:03 Dyrcona It's easy to go from MARCXML to other formats.
15:05 JBoyer I think that site deals in RDF triples for BIBFRAME, which is completely useless to Evergreen at the moment.
15:05 JBoyer (It's use to anyone has yet to be proven out, as far as I can see.)
15:10 kmlussier Ah, that's true. I somehow missed the "Linked Data Services" on that page.

15:23 * kmlussier has a case of the Mondays
15:23 Freddy_Enrique ?
15:23 * mmorgan bets the grey rainy day doesn't help.
15:23 kmlussier So I just picked the wrong commit when I was supposed to be backporting a bug fix.
15:23 Freddy_Enrique me/ still confused
15:24 kmlussier http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=Evergreen.git;a=c​ommit;h=bd0e9a76acf05eff25c66ad0f99fc5d3240bb64d should not be in the 2.12 branch. How do I make it go away now?
15:24 pinesol_green kmlussier: [evergreen|Bill Erickson] LP#1691860 Webstaff audio alert nosound.wav - <http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=​Evergreen.git;a=commit;h=bd0e9a7>
15:26 kmlussier Freddy_Enrique: Don't worry about it. I'm just pushing files to the wrong place. :)
15:27 * kmlussier supposed she could make a new commit to remove that file and push it to the release 2.12 branch.
15:27 kmlussier Luckily, it was just a release notes entry.
15:28 Dyrcona kmlussier: revert the commit: git revert bd0e9a7
15:28 pinesol_green Dyrcona: [evergreen|Bill Erickson] LP#1691860 Webstaff audio alert nosound.wav - <http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=​Evergreen.git;a=commit;h=bd0e9a7>
15:28 Dyrcona Then push as normal.
15:28 kmlussier Ok, thanks Dyrcona!
15:28 Dyrcona You can't just rewrite it out as that may mess up the mirrors.
15:29 Dyrcona rewrite/rebase same thing. :)
15:30 kmlussier Dyrcona++
15:41 kmlussier OK, I think that's my cue to stop merging code for the day.
