08:44 pinesol Launchpad bug 1722827 in Evergreen "Trailing spaces cause located URIs to be invalid" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1722827
08:46 pwillard26 joined #evergreen
08:54 kmlussier rhamby_: It's what I put in the LP bug. After the first test where I finally got it to work, when I tried on a subsequent day, every attempt failed. I tried the space before the OU, after an OU, it didn't matter.
08:54 kmlussier I can look at it again.
08:55 bos20k joined #evergreen
08:55 rhamby_ kmlussier: so weird, I tried over and over last night and I couldn't get it to not work with spaces before and after on different records.
08:56 rhamby_ kmlussier: I did direct by db.  Did you use the staff client for editing, wondering if that could somehow make a difference.... I can't see how though.
08:58 kmlussier rhamby_: Yes, I used the client. The others testing that patch would have used the client too because they were on my VM, and they don't have db access.

10:22 berick kmlussier: oh good, thanks for the update
10:27 rhamby_ kmlussier: we're fostering puppies right now and one of them snuggles with one of the cats and cleans it's ears
10:27 rhamby_ the cat gets an expression of "it's not trying to decide what I'd taste like is it?"
10:28 dbwells PSA: Based on volunteer availability, this month's point releases are scheduled for next Wednesday, August 22.
10:29 kmlussier rhamby_: Our dog and cat relaxed within 1/2 foot of each other yesterday. That's as close to snuggling as they've come after spending 2+ years in the same house.

11:47 kmlussier jeff: Ah, ok. That makes sense.
11:47 Bmagic yeah, it's Missouri Evergreen
11:47 Bmagic some of our members are starting to use LP now :)
11:50 Bmagic We'll talk to her about it
11:53 kmlussier Bmagic: In any case, I added followup questions.
11:55 Bmagic ok, thanks for being so helpful to our members! We had a meeting recently where we went through LP and how to add heat. It looks like someone really took it to heart :)
11:59 kmlussier Bmagic: That's good! It gives them a good idea of how the community works.

12:17 jeff Most people are being automatically voiced by ChanServ on join now, based on either their registered nickname/account or their hostmask. Users identified to services don't actually need to be voiced, but it still serves as a useful visual indicator of who is all set vs who might need to be voiced.
12:18 jeff pinesol can still see all messages sent to the channel, even by unregistered, unvoiced users. This way, anyone can voice themselves by sending @voice to the channel as a message.
12:18 pinesol jeff: We're going to need a bigger boat.
12:18 jeff indeed, pinesol.
12:19 jeff And anyone can voice someone with /msg pinesol voice #evergreen jeff
12:19 jeff (just don't voice the spammers, please) :-)
12:21 jeff Things have been pretty smooth since Monday, so at this point I'm hoping that the impact is down to just the annoying join/quit of the spam bots.

13:45 revi9 joined #evergreen
13:52 hbrennan Funny issue if someone wants a stab at it.... When doing a basic/advanced/any type of search, my coworker's workstation briefly shows the search results screen but then jumps into Serials Control. We have remained on version 3.0.5 since March. No changes. And installing a clean version of Evergreen didn't fix it. Feels like it's a sticky checkbox somewhere (I'm thinking similar to Checkin Modifiers), but I can't find anything. Sh
13:53 kmlussier hbrennan: That sounds special.
13:53 hbrennan kmlussier: Right?!
13:53 hbrennan I didn't believe it until I saw it happen.
13:53 idjit xul or webby?
13:54 hbrennan xul
13:54 hbrennan I told her if I can't figure it out I'll just teach her web
13:54 hbrennan It's apparently been happening for weeks
13:54 idjit you can confirm or rule out profile settings by launching with -P to get the profile picker and creating a new one.
13:54 kmlussier hbrennan: Oh, I thought this was webby. Did she set it as a default view? I think you can do that with serials control view in xul.
13:55 hbrennan yes, xul. Apologies for leaving that out!
13:55 * kmlussier dusts off a xul client to double check.
13:55 collum kmlussier: you can. I just did it.
13:55 kmlussier collum++
13:56 hbrennan collum: Where is it?
13:56 collum Actions for this record.  Select another view - ie. Opac view.
13:57 collum Then open the menu again and at the bottom there is 'Set bottom interface as default'
13:57 bshum collum++
13:58 hbrennan I'm still trying to recreate the issue
13:59 hbrennan Set Bottom Interface as Default is exactly the setting I blamed it on
13:59 hbrennan But I have not been able to get that option to do anything. And I can't find doc on it
14:00 kmlussier hbrennan: You have to select a view first, before you set that option. So if you're in Serials Control View and then select that option, it will set that as the default.
14:01 kmlussier Or if you're in MARC  and select the option, MARC view becomes the default.
14:01 hbrennan ahhh HA
14:01 hbrennan kmlussier++ collum++
14:02 hbrennan Ok now I hope the fix works otherwise now there are two of us :)
14:02 kmlussier LOL
14:02 berick kmlussier: for bug 1721575, can I assume "Sort cart items by:" should be "Sort basket items by:" ?  if so, I can make that change before merging
14:02 pinesol Launchpad bug 1721575 in Evergreen "Batch Actions from Search Results" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1721575 - Assigned to Bill Erickson (berick)
14:03 hbrennan It works! Thanks y'all!
14:03 kmlussier berick: Yes. It was still a cart in initial testing.

14:28 kmlussier So the eg_vhost file on my server looks like this: https://pastebin.com/geAsaFzL. But en-GB and pt-BR aren't showing up as options in the language picker for the OPAC at https://mlnc4.noblenet.org
14:28 rlefaive joined #evergreen
14:28 kmlussier Does anyone see where I went wrong with those two?
14:29 berick kmlussier: are there matching entries in config.i18n_locale ?
14:29 bshum Those wouldn't be in the table by default
14:30 bshum berick++
14:30 kmlussier berick: Ah, ok. No they aren't. But if we're calling them supported languages in the documentation, should we be adding those to the database by default?
14:31 kmlussier Or should we be changing the documentation?
14:32 bshum kmlussier: I think we should change the documentation.  Not sure what level of "supported" counts, but I think Eva and i18n team decided it would be based on translation efforts by % and also by activity.  Neither of those sound like active ones to me, based on what I remember.
14:33 bshum What's pt-BR up to these days?
14:33 kmlussier This is when they were identified as supported - https://markmail.org/message/eki3errhsvluxzod
14:33 bshum 48%, meh
14:34 kmlussier That doesn't meet the standard then.
14:34 bshum Yeah it's outside the date range too, over 12 months ago since last edits
14:35 bshum It's easy enough to add any locales to the database
14:36 bshum http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=Evergreen.git;a=c​ommit;h=dddb70dff3d508b673d12b169fb41ca0473c6f9e
14:36 pinesol bshum: [evergreen|Ben Shum] LP#1618183: Add Spanish to config.i18n_locale - <http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=​Evergreen.git;a=commit;h=dddb70d>
14:36 kmlussier bshum: Sure, I get that. My concern is that we adopt common practices for those that we document as being supported.
14:36 bshum For an example from the past
14:37 kmlussier And if they no longer meet the threshold of being supported, we should update the documentation.
14:37 bshum Well I only say that cause I think en-GB counts
14:37 bshum There's edits for that through May of this year
14:38 bshum So, yeah I guess we should keep that one
14:38 kmlussier So maybe do a patch to add en-GB, and then reach out to Eva about removing Portuguese as a supported language?
14:38 bshum +1
14:38 kmlussier Maybe the Brazilian Evergreen project has come to an end. :(
14:39 bshum Probably just ask to review all the language status
14:40 bshum Part of the 3.2 process
14:40 bshum Well, every release process I mean

15:33 JBoyer kmlussier, was example.reporter-extension.sql run on mlnc1.noblenet.org ? That's where reporter.classic_item_list (from the error text) is defined.
15:34 JBoyer As long as they're in the default IDL they're not exactly "examples," but "missing" :/
15:35 kmlussier JBoyer: Nope. I just created another report that didn't use classic item list to complete my test rather than figure out how to add it.
15:35 * kmlussier is lazy that way.
15:35 JBoyer kmlussier++
15:35 JBoyer So long as you know. Maybe I'll toss the busted report so no one else makes the same mistake I did. :)
15:36 kmlussier Reports is my weak spot, and any time I need to test something there, I end up floundering.
15:36 kmlussier JBoyer: Oops. Sorry!
15:47 csharp kmlussier: I'm curious - I'm missing what JBoyer is talking about in the scrollback - what's going on?
15:49 JBoyer running reports on the inventory date test server. :)
15:49 kmlussier csharp: Oh, I had just tried using Classic Item List for a report on a test system, but I hadn't first run example.reporter-extension.sql.
15:50 csharp oh, I understand
15:50 csharp yeah :-/ the age-old dilemma of whether we remove those from the UI or add them to the default DB
15:51 csharp or remove stat_cats from the view
15:53 yboston joined #evergreen
15:54 Bmagic This might turn into an email but: We have found that when searching the catalog with words that have contractions such as "I'll" and "Don't" require to have the apostrophe for exact matching. The index doesn't strip it
15:55 kmlussier Bmagic: Which normalizers are mapped to your config.metabib_fields?
15:55 kmlussier Bmagic: Also, what do you mean by exact matching? Are you using the 'matches exactly' search in advanced search?
15:56 Bmagic we would like it to not require the apostrophe and still match titles that have it
15:58 berick Bmagic: we have 2 indexes locally for that.  one that strips the value and one that doesn't.
15:58 mentifis10 joined #evergreen
15:58 berick for keyword and title, IIRC
15:59 Bmagic kmlussier: I am trying to make heads or tails of my config.metabib_field and I'm not connecting any of these rows to a normalizer
15:59 berick well, ours specifically addresses "." characters
16:00 berick Bmagic: config.metabib_field_index_norm_map
16:02 mmorgan Bmagic: We use the NACO normalizer on essentially all our fields so that a title search on "don't talk to strangers" and "dont talk to strangers" yield the same results
16:02 kmlussier Bmagic: Search Normalize (id 17) and NACO Normalize (id 1) both handle apostrophes, but in different ways. The default in stock Evergreen is to use Search Normalize, but we prefer to use NACO here. But I don't think either of those would address apostrophes in a "Matches Exactly" search. Still not sure if that's what you're talking about.
16:04 Bmagic I'm not interested in the feature "matches exactly" - just a plain ol basic search not yeilding results that we think it should be
16:04 kmlussier There's a little more info on it here - https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku​.php?id=scratchpad:brush_up_search.
16:05 Bmagic yaaaay! I knew there was something out there I couldn't remember
16:05 Bmagic How about this one: eight versus 8. If you use the numeric 8 you get different results compared to "eight"
16:05 kmlussier Bmagic: You could use a synonym dictionary to handle that.
16:05 kmlussier Also on the same page. :)
16:06 Bmagic sounds like I need to read this page. Thank you!
16:06 Bmagic so much!
16:06 Bmagic kmlussier++
16:06 Bmagic berick++
16:06 kmlussier Actually, I need to add to that page.
16:06 Bmagic mmorgan++
16:19 Bmagic got another one. Autosuggest. Autosuggest is nice, however, when we upgraded from PG 9.1 to 9.3 (and now 9.5) we noticed that it clobbered the database and we had to disable it. Has anyone got it functioning better on 9.5. Maybe added code to keep it from hitting the database with low number of search characters?
16:25 kmlussier Bmagic: Sorry, can't help you with this one! We don't use autosuggest because of the accessibility issues.
16:25 bshum It'd be interesting to see how many sites still have that enabled even after we disabled it by default like 4 years ago now.
16:25 Bmagic I was thinking the same thing. A poll to the community to find out
16:25 kmlussier I've seen it running in a bunch of catalogs.
16:26 bshum Well I guess only "new" places would have it disabled
16:26 bshum Anyone who had it on before had to choose to turn it off :)
16:27 kmlussier bshum: I'm guessing there are "new" places that have chosen to turn it on.
16:28 kmlussier Bmagic: I know you mentioned it happened with a pg updgrade, but was Evergreen upgraded at the same time?
16:28 Bmagic yes, EG was upgraded at the same time from 2.4 to 2.6 and pg 9.1 to 9.3
16:30 kmlussier Bmagic: 2.4 to 2.6?
16:30 * kmlussier checks the calendar.
16:30 bshum Haha
16:30 Bmagic EG 2.4 to 2.6 in 2014
16:31 kmlussier Oh, sorry, I was thinking this was a new slowness. heh :)
16:31 Bmagic some of our members remember the glorious days of autosuggest
16:31 kmlussier I was about to blame search code changes.
16:32 Bmagic If I remember correctly, it was with the upgrade to 2.6 (and PG 9.3) that we had to turn it off because the database was brought to it's knees
16:32 kmlussier You see, I remember hearing complaints of slowness back when our first consortium tried implementing it when it was first released.
16:32 bshum Same, it wasn't exactly awesome
16:32 bshum "glorious" no  :)
16:33 Bmagic It seems like it could* work better if it just didn't send ajax calls to the DB until the patron/staff typed the 5th character or so
16:33 bshum Might be worth looking at all of that stuff and coming up with some new ideas
16:33 bshum Hackaway idea!  :D
16:33 kmlussier There was a performance fix here - bug 948284
16:33 bshum (not like we don't already have enough stuff to poke at)
