10:24 Dyrcona Did someone mention in here recently that ou settings that are ints but stored as strings, ie. with "" around them, are not working in the web staff client?
10:24 Dyrcona I seem to recall someone mentioning that.
10:30 Dyrcona Oh... dataype = link appears to be treated as text when being set.
10:30 Dyrcona Anyway, I'll test my numbers vs. strings hypothesis first.
10:32 Dyrcona Well, whether that's an issue or not (number vs. strings), changing the ou settings values didn't solve my problem.... to the cod!
10:32 Dyrcona or the code, rather.
10:32 Dyrcona Not sure cod would be so helpful.
10:34 berick i don't know, it's almost elevensies
10:40 collum https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8XeDvKqI4E
10:46 Dyrcona https://en.wikipedia.org/wi​ki/Elevenses#United_States
10:47 Dyrcona Anyway, has anyone noticed that the record summary in web staff client view of a MARC record doesn't honor the cat.default_classification_scheme?
10:47 Dyrcona We're getting LoC regardless of the ou setting value.
10:56 Dyrcona Hm... I think I see something, but need to look a bit more.
10:58 Dyrcona Ok. Not what I thought.
10:58 Dyrcona Except.... I don't see how the egCore.env.aous gets loaded.
11:00 Dyrcona NM. I *think* I found it.
11:00 Dyrcona So, I don't see why it doesn't honor the setting.

11:09 Dyrcona So, no one else noticed this? We're alone with this "bug?"
11:13 kmlussier Dyrcona: Is this bug 1739284?
11:13 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1739284 in Evergreen "web client: record summary displays 050" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1739284
11:17 Dyrcona I guess that's it.
11:18 Dyrcona I'm getting down to why, but I'm not sure yet how to fix it.
11:19 berick looks like the code may be referencing an org unit setting that has not been fetched, maybe only in certain contexts
11:21 Dyrcona Yeah, that's what I think is happening.
11:21 Dyrcona How do I make it fetch the setting?
11:21 mmorgan joined #evergreen
11:21 Dyrcona debugger++
11:21 * berick makes a patch
11:21 * Dyrcona will test.
11:22 Dyrcona In fact, it looks like the only things in my egCore.env.aous array are the things that appear in local storage.
11:22 Dyrcona Should there be a handler to look them up if they're not there?
11:25 berick yeah
11:25 berick and it caches too
11:26 Dyrcona Well, I was thinking it should be automatic, but I'm not sure how much you can code that in JavaScript.
11:27 Dyrcona In C++, I could overload operator[] to look up any missing keys.
11:28 berick Dyrcona: http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=working/Eve​rgreen.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/user/ber​ick/lp1739284-bib-summary-cn-classification
11:29 Dyrcona Thanks! I'll give that a shot.
11:29 Dyrcona If it works. I'll push it.
11:38 Dyrcona berick++ It works after an "Empty Cache and Hard Reload."
11:39 Dyrcona So, I'll add my signoff and update the bug with pullrequest and signed off tags.
11:39 berick Dyrcona++
11:39 Dyrcona kmlussier++ also, for pointing out the bug.
11:39 kmlussier berick++ Dyrcona++
11:40 Dyrcona Are we doing releases tomorrow as planned?

12:18 * kmlussier tries to decide where bug 1777675 falls on the Roadmap. Client?
12:18 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1777675 in Evergreen "Support for inventory date" [Wishlist,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1777675
12:23 berick is inventory considered a cataloging actions?  acquisitions?
12:23 csharp kind of its own subcategory alongside those two
12:23 csharp under the umbrella of "Collection Management"
12:24 kmlussier berick: Cataloging might fit. Sort of.
12:25 * berick is mostly just curious
12:29 terran I would say it's closer to Cataloging than anything else
12:29 jeff joined #evergreen
12:30 dbs Or a special kind of circulation akin to in-house
12:31 dbs (we're currently doing an inventory the PINES way™, although it's going to take forever)
12:31 kmlussier We need a much more sophisticated classification system for our roadmaps and release notes.
12:35 csharp if only we knew some classifcation experts... but alas
12:35 csharp :-D
12:37 berick ok, what phylum does inventory fall under?
12:37 kmlussier JBoyer: Is bug 1773832 similar to what Indiana saw when you first upgraded to 3.0?
12:38 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1773832 in Evergreen "Bib records that are both deleted and empty show in staff search" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1773832
12:59 JBoyer kmlussier, Dyrcona, That does sound familiar. I think the upgrade script to set the visibility cache on biblio.record entry included deleted records when it shouldn't have. I don't remember when it was fixed, but I think I'm on that bug.
12:59 * JBoyer will look
13:05 JBoyer So I guess I was mistaken, the issue I was thinking of was including deleted copies in an update to the vis cache on asset.copy, not bre. It still sounds familiar though.
13:06 Dyrcona JBoyer: I tried messing with the visibility attr in bre. t made no difference.
13:06 JBoyer Ah, ok then.
13:08 pinesol_green [evergreen|Jason Boyer] LP1772444: Add Patron Names to Bill Receipts - <http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=​Evergreen.git;a=commit;h=8fe5ed1>

13:08 JBoyer Something else that may complicate things, to save a little space at one point we jettisoned all of the entries in the metabib tables (aside from real_full_rec and the display fields entries) for deleted bibs so there's no thing left to find anyway.
13:14 Phillip Followup on yesterday's print pull hold list to Kyocera MFP prints at receipt printer font size.  Other apps print to the Kyocera ok and turning off hatch results in ok printing.  Reinstalled Kyocera print driver resolved the issue.
13:23 yboston joined #evergreen
13:23 jonadab Hmm, adding information about specific fields that are not listed but do work seems like a bit of a derailing for bug 1772053, though kind-of related.  Should I file a new bug instead?

14:21 jeffdavis Say I'm using the HTTP gateway and I have an API response containing a fieldmapper object represented as an array - is there an easy way to convert that array to an object, or at least map the elements of that array to the corresponding object attributes?
14:22 Dyrcona jeffdavis: What language?
14:24 jeffdavis Well, ideally there would be a language-independent way to do it. I've got a couple different use cases.
14:26 JBoyer jeffdavis, you can download a copy of the IDL to create your own ORM objects. Dyrcona is probably asking what language because there are already a few modules to do this for perl, for example.
14:26 JBoyer (The array of values is in the same order as the field entries in fm_IDL.xml)
14:27 * JBoyer had a half-hearted implementation in Obj-C that turned responses into dictionaries.
14:33 Dyrcona Yeah, that's why I was asking.
14:33 jeffdavis It's come up here in the past for projects using PHP and Java.
14:34 Dyrcona Well, you write your own fieldmapper using the IDL, or you use an existing one.
14:34 Dyrcona I believe there is a Java implementation in the source for Evergreen. No one ever uses it.
14:35 berick yep, there's a java idl parser
14:35 Dyrcona pranjal's implementaiton of "OpenSRF" in PHP might have an IDL parser, too. It has been a while since I looked.
14:37 Dyrcona Yeah, it does. Here's my fork: https://github.com/Dyrcona/osrf
14:37 Dyrcona See, language matters. :)
14:41 Dyrcona There's a python implementation in the Evergreen source as well. Syrup uses that.

16:00 NFPL joined #evergreen
16:03 NFPL Does SIP retrieve it's information from the fm_IDL mappings? I am looking for a way to improve it's consistency when returning items. As Overdues and Charged items it returns the barcode which I would like for Holds and Unavailable holds but they return the title which isn't as helpful especially since holds returns all holds regardless of if they are available or not.
16:04 rlefaive joined #evergreen
16:04 NFPL I want to be able to see only available holds but as barcode so I may retrieve the rest of the info
16:04 berick NFPL: there's a setting for returning barcodes instead of titles in oils_sip.xml
16:05 berick look for:  <option name='msg64_hold_datatype' value='barcode' />
16:06 NFPL oh....I read that file multiple times today and must have missed it. I will go look. Thanks!
