10:57 Bmagic This is interesting: patron purchase requests - Can Evergreen incorporate the patron who made the purchase request into the holds fill order and move the patron up the queue so to speak? (I'm sure Evergreen does not do this but I was wondering how that idea sits with anyone)

11:13 terran Bmagic: I floated that idea to our acq person and she said it makes sense to her. We don't currently use the purchase request functionality, but we will at some point.
11:14 Bmagic we had a library that asked about it. I figured I would see what others thought. Maybe it's sane enough to make a formal wishlist item?
11:16 terran Bmagic: If you do, I'll give it a +1
11:24 Bmagic terran: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1803155
11:24 pinesol Launchpad bug 1803155 in Evergreen "Prioritize purchase-request-patron hold on purchased item" [Undecided,New]
11:27 terran Bmagic: cool beans
11:28 terran Bmagic: Also, we missed you at the Hackaway!
11:29 Bmagic I know! I missed y'all too!

14:24 jeff berick: rewinding to 2014, you made reference to "w/ websockets (and no translator) we can remove the x-domain jabber requirement / brick cross-talk" (context: http://irc.evergreen-ils.org/​evergreen/2014-01-28#i_63876 )
14:25 yboston joined #evergreen
14:26 jeff berick: I think the reason there is that with websockets you no longer have a chance of multiple requests within the same transaction hitting different bricks. is that the general reason?
14:26 jeff berick: (it makes sense in my head but i'm not sure if i'm missing/overlooking something)
14:28 terran joined #evergreen
14:29 berick jeff: yes, that's correct.  the client is never booted from the websocket connection as a result of apache keepalive, so the whole transaction takes place w/ a single apache backend.
14:35 jeff and that "oh hey, you have a transaction over HERE, not with me" is the only reason for cross-domain jabber communication.
14:37 jeff is there currently any graceful way to close a websocket connection when taking a backend out of rotation behind a proxy / etc?
14:39 berick jeff: that's right, the translator was the driver for cross-domain jabber support
14:40 berick it may have other uses, but IIRC, the translator is the only reason it's required by default
14:41 berick jeff: you could prevent new connections on the websocket port (by removing the ping file or whatever), but there's currenlty no way to gracefully force a client to disconnect from websocketd.
14:41 berick i have a pretty good idea how that could be added, though (without threads)
14:49 jeff oh? do tell. :-)
14:51 berick websocketd has a shutdown timeout option, so we can teach the websocketd handler to watch for sigint, set a shutdown flag, then poll (in the main event loop) for a moment when no active reqests are pending, then disconnect the client
14:51 berick at which point the client will automatically reconnect to a new backend
14:52 berick i'll open an LP

15:44 hbrennan Any Equinox support crew listening in today?
15:44 hbrennan I sent two support cases on Friday and haven't received responses yet. Thinking emails aren't getting to you.
15:52 khuckins_ joined #evergreen
15:54 jeff hbrennan: I'd try giving them a call in that case. Number's here if you don't have it handy: https://www.equinoxinitiative.org/contact
15:55 hbrennan jeff: Oh their number is sticky noted in multiple locations. :) I'm just on the phone right now with someone else.
15:56 jeff Aha. :-)
15:56 hbrennan The joys of day after a holiday
15:56 rhamby hbrennan: I'll check to see what's going on
15:56 hbrennan rhamby: Thanks
16:01 khuckins joined #evergreen
16:02 rhamby hbrennan: I followed up with our support folks, emailing you now
16:03 hbrennan rhamby: Thanks!
16:16 hbrennan rhamby: In case it really is me, I'm just letting you know here that I received your email and replied to you. And resent one support ticket from Friday.
16:17 rhamby hbrennan: ok, did you re-submit the ticket or send it in email?
16:18 rhamby hbrennan: and by re-submit I mean did you send an email to the helpdesk or do it through the web portal?
16:19 * rhamby thinks it's been a long day and his ability to use word things is suffering
16:19 hbrennan rhamby: Email to support@esi
16:20 rhamby hbrennan: can you email it to me as well?  that service is hosted (not run by us) and I check with our support folks so that they can follow up on your issue and any larger issue.

16:45 Bmagic Anyone heard of holds getting automatically canceled just from viewing the holds shelf?
16:47 mmorgan Bmagic: Haven't heard of that, but viewing the holds shelf does reveal holds that were cancelled by patrons via the opac
16:47 bshum Be gone holds!
16:47 kmlussier In the xul client, wasn't there a holds shelf interface that automatically cleared holds?
16:47 Bmagic the claim is the holds are canceled after loading them in the XUL client. Then viewed on Webby
16:48 * kmlussier is very happy that interface didn't make it to webby.
16:48 mmorgan kmlussier++
16:48 Bmagic ah! yeah, maybe that's it
16:48 mmorgan Good point!
16:48 mmorgan Those menu options are alarmingly close to each other!
16:48 phasefx kmlussier: there was a button on the UI, IIRC.  And a menu option that triggered it automatically as part of loading the UI
16:49 kmlussier phasefx: Yes, it's the menu option I'm thinking of.
16:50 kmlussier https://markmail.org/message/3k5xqmxqnpqgjbpl
16:50 Bmagic circulation -> browse holds shelf doesn''t do anything? but circulation -> Clear Holds Shelf does?
16:50 Bmagic kmlussier++
16:50 mmorgan We disabled the dangerous "Clear Holds Shelf" menu option in the xul client.
16:50 bshum Whoa. Old thread.
16:51 * mmorgan suppressed the whole thing from memory apparently :)
16:52 terran mmorgan: we disabled that, too - that was dangerous!
16:52 bshum I was about to be a smart aleck and call that "user error" but apparently past-bshum was wiser and just hid the option
16:53 kmlussier That was dangerous, as well as that prominent "Transfer All Holds" button in the xul client.
16:53 * phasefx was complicit in that one, he thinks :) sorry
16:53 mmorgan s/user error/poor interface design/g
16:53 kmlussier phasefx: Often, things seem like a great idea until they are put in a production environment. :)
16:54 mmorgan True!
16:54 phasefx I'm sure someone really wanted it :D
16:54 mmorgan "Seemed like a good idea at the time" is something we've all likely said at one time or another:)
16:54 kmlussier I'm glad I remembered it. I think that was the most productive moment I've had all day. :)
16:55 bshum kmlussier++
16:56 Dyrcona I thought that only worked on shelf-expired holds, though.
16:57 mmorgan Dyrcona: It does.
16:58 terran Yes, but it did cleared them without a review step so if it was accidentally clicked, it was a problem. Now they have to click View Clearable Holds and THEN click clear holds
16:58 mmorgan But there are often times when staff need items to stay a bit longer.
17:00 terran I'm looking at the screen for one of our libraries right now and see that they clearly NEVER clean up their holds shelf. There are canceled holds from April listed. Sigh.
17:02 * mmorgan often sees the same and wonders what happened to the item

17:11 phasefx it's kind of neat looking back.. I was so struggling to come up with something like angular promises; had setTimeout chains :)
