09:30 mmorgan Where are the workstation preferences stored on a Mac? We have a mac client throwing errors similar to those we've seen on Windows workstations when a prefs file has been corrupted.
09:30 mmorgan Removing and reinstalling the client doesn't solve the issue.
09:32 bshum mmorgan: For a xul client?
09:32 mmorgan Yes, xul client.
09:35 bshum I could have sworn it was in the Library folder somewhere
09:35 bshum I'm digging it up on my Mac :)
09:35 Dyrcona Well, yes, somewhere under Library/Settings/, IIRC.
09:36 Dyrcona Unless you built the client with the option to store it in the App folder, which I'm not certain works on a Mac.
09:36 bshum Maybe they moved it on this macOS version
09:36 Dyrcona It has been about 6 years since I tried much of anything on a Mac.
09:37 bshum Ah
09:37 Dyrcona Yeah, it might depend on your Mac OS version, but I don't think they move stuff like that very often.
09:37 bshum ~/Library/Application Support/open_ils_staff_client
09:37 bshum There it is
09:37 bshum I knew it was around somewhere in Application Support, just forgot the name of the folder
09:37 bshum openils?  pfft
09:37 Dyrcona bshum++
09:37 mmorgan Ah! Ok we'll look there!
09:37 bshum So in there is the profiles
09:37 * Dyrcona did not RC. :)
09:38 mmorgan bshum++
09:38 bshum And that'll have the prefs, I thin
09:38 bshum *think
09:43 dbs Some day I'll figure out vandelay import; even with batches of 250 records I get "Processing... 0" and console logs "Error: Transport error method=open-ils.vandelay.bib.process_spool, status=504"
09:46 * dbs also sees a "The Components object is deprecated. It will soon be removed." in core dojo.js - hrm
09:47 dbs (EG 2.12 FWIW)
09:49 Dyrcona dbs: Well, the deprecation warning doesn't matter since we're not switching to a newer version of Dojo.
09:50 Dyrcona As for the rest, I never use Vandelay, since I'm importing tens of thousands of records at once, usually.
09:50 * Dyrcona sometimes think we ought to replace it.
09:51 Dyrcona But, honestly, I don't have any better ideas.
09:54 sard joined #evergreen
09:58 dbs Dyrcona: That warning is coming from Firefox: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla​/Tech/XPCOM/Language_Bindings/Components_object
09:59 dbs Looks like it has been around for years though, so what's a few more? :)
09:59 Dyrcona Ah. That's different, then.
09:59 Dyrcona Well, yeah, I've seen things that were deprecated and never removed.

13:02 kmlussier Developers meeting tomorrow, right?
13:08 Dyrcona Think so, yeah.
13:10 * kmlussier is repurposing the January agenda for tomorrow's meeting.
13:11 kmlussier Also adding discussion item about iOS.
13:14 csharp @blame apple
13:14 pinesol_green csharp: everything was going great until apple came along
13:14 csharp @quote random
13:14 pinesol_green csharp: Quote #111: "< RoganH> Obviously they weren't from the south or they would have tried deep frying it." (added by csharp at 12:22 PM, April 15, 2015)
13:14 Dyrcona heh.
13:15 Dyrcona Deep-fried iOS for breakfast?
13:29 terran Did someone (kmlussier?) say they had NoveList working in the web client?
13:29 kmlussier terran: Maybe mmorgan?
13:31 JBoyer might have been me, but we don't use any of the external links and get our covers from somewhere else.
13:32 JBoyer So we may just not notice what you're seeing.
13:33 terran We get our covers from Syndetics, and those are fine, but our added content div for NoveList isn't working in the client (it's fine in the OPAC).
13:34 terran The Syndetics div for added content isn't working either in the OPAC or the client, but I think that may be a parsing problem.
13:36 Dyrcona terran: You're talking about the XUL client?
13:37 terran It's the same behavior in both xul and web clients but I only care about the web client at this point.
13:38 Dyrcona OK. Then, I can't help. :(
13:38 terran :)
13:38 Dyrcona When Novelist stopped working in XUL, it was that they changed the JavaScript to use a function that didn't exist in the XUL client.
13:39 Dyrcona The next day, more or less, it just started working again after Novelist changed their code, again.
13:39 Dyrcona I suspect that someone reported problems with certain browsers to them.
13:40 Dyrcona In your case, I'd look into any local customizations. Maybe your templates have something wrapped in a check for not ctx.is_staff or similar.
13:44 terran Thanks, I've already checked for customizations in the templates and the div block is being created (<div data-novelist-novelistselect="0439420105"></div>) but there's nothing inside it. I'm getting a "
13:44 terran Type error but I'm getting that in the OPAC too where it's working.
13:45 mmorgan terran: Our Novelist select is working in the web client on our test server.
13:45 terran mmorgan: Hmm
13:49 terran I wonder if Novelist is providing the content to us in the same format.
13:51 Dyrcona I apparently didn't configure Novelist on our 3.0 testing server.
13:51 JBoyer Also, mmorgan mentioned Novelist Select, that's the product we're using also, are you using one of the other tiers of it? I know they offer more than what we're doing but I don't know much more about it.
13:52 Dyrcona It is working on our training server with 3.0.3.
13:54 mmorgan1 joined #evergreen
13:54 Dyrcona terran: Do you have <div id='novelist-loading'>No NoveList content is available for this item.</div> in the view source above the div you mentioned earlier?
13:54 rfrasur joined #evergreen
13:56 rfrasur Hello, my lovelies.  Wondering who I should report a bug to about the conference website?
13:57 terran Dyrcona: Yes
13:58 Dyrcona OK. Just checking, 'cause that's more or less what ours looks like.
13:59 Dyrcona Just grepping through the templates for Novelist, I find two places in the standard templates for 3.0.3, but I find many more comments in our customizations.
13:59 Dyrcona I'm going to compare those with 2.12.
14:00 Dyrcona Here's one of the comments from our customization of acjs.tt2: [%# The only customization in this file is to change the Novelist timeout to 500 %]
14:02 Dyrcona Hmm. Looks like we've customized Novelist a bit, probably based on something from NOBLE.
14:02 Dyrcona I seem to recall krvmga working on something like that.
14:03 Dyrcona Guess I can't be all that helpful.
14:03 terran Thanks, I hadn't thought of changing the timeout I can try that.
14:12 Dyrcona Ah, kmlussier left the channel.
14:13 Dyrcona I just wanted to followup about my comment on a bug here rather than add to the chatter on the bug.
14:19 terran mmorgan1: Would you be willing to share the Novelist-related customizations NOBLE has done with me?
14:20 terran rfrasur: for the sched portion or the rest of the site?
14:20 rfrasur terran: the sched portion
14:21 terran rfrasur: Debbie from MOBIUS - deborah@mobiusconsortium.org
14:22 rfrasur terran: Thank you :-)
14:22 Dyrcona terran: Based on our changes, they are minor.
14:22 Dyrcona The big one looks like changing the timeout to 500.
14:23 Dyrcona The rest is adding some text to tell patrons about Novelist Select.
14:24 terran Dyrcona: Thanks, I'll try that later this afternoon
14:25 Dyrcona We also removed the Chillifresh code from opac/parts/record/awards.tt2.
14:25 Dyrcona But, I doubt that has much effect on this.
14:38 mmorgan joined #evergreen
14:41 kmlussier joined #evergreen
14:54 mmorgan terran: We also have the timeout set at 500.
14:58 terran mmorgan: Thanks!
14:59 mmorgan terran: I'm not familiar with all the customizations, but I'll see if I can get you more info.

15:37 kmlussier Nearly three years later, I'm revisiting discussion from bug 1464709 regarding a potential is_targetable flag for copy statuses.
15:37 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1464709 in Evergreen "Seamless checkout of non-standard copy status AKA single-use copy statuses" [Wishlist,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1464709
15:39 kmlussier From the discussion, I understand that the goal of this flag would be to identify certain statuses that should be included on the holds pull list. But does would it affect whether or not the copy was listed in the hold_copy_map? Or would that still be governed by the holdable flag?
