09:07 * Dyrcona shares his non-constructive comments of the day.
09:09 Dyrcona But, honestly, "Smart Quotes" at a system-wide level is kind of a dumb feature. I can understand it in a word processor or even email user agent, but most anywhere else, it's not what you want.
09:13 Dyrcona PS: "Smart quotes" also break MARC records....So, no cataloging on your iPhone thanks. :)
09:37 mantis joined #evergreen
09:42 mmorgan Smart quotes == Dumb quotes
09:49 Dyrcona In light of eeevil's comment on Lp 2069363, I am more inclined to say we shouldn't fix it.
09:49 pinesol Launchpad bug 2069363 in Evergreen "OPAC: putting search terms in double quotes does not always prevent stemming" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/2069363
09:51 eeevil Dyrcona: well, I'm actually seeing if I can address it in just a few minutes. if so, I'll offer a branch
09:51 Dyrcona eeevil++ Your other comment just show up in my email.
09:52 Dyrcona I'm OK with fixing, but I also think Apple ought to own this.... :)
09:52 Dyrcona eeevil: I'll probably bother you later about Lp 2073561.
09:52 pinesol Launchpad bug 2073561 in Evergreen "Incorrect content in the config.coded_value_map with ctype audience after applying the upgrade script from 3.12.3 to 3.13.0" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/2073561 - Assigned to Jason Stephenson (jstephenson)

10:07 Dyrcona Adding length to the fixed_field CTE in insert_updated_coded_value_map almost fixes it.
10:08 Dyrcona Well, subquery, not CTE I guess.
10:08 sleary Dyrcona I do think that if Apple is going to turn smart punctuation on everywhere, they should at least give us a non-standard HTML attribute to force it off, like data-webkit-stop-your-nonsense or something. But, eh. We should just deal with it in the query string. It *is* a useful feature in other contexts, and I'm not willing to shift that much of the technical burden to users.
10:24 Dyrcona Aight, so, I'm gonna delete all the added entries in my test database. Modify the insert_updated_coded_value_map function to use the field length and see what happens.
10:37 Dyrcona heh. I wonder if that fixes it....
10:47 Dyrcona Oh, no. That doesn't work, either. Some of my existing entries have the descriptions removed.
10:49 Dyrcona Yjsy
10:49 Dyrcona Oops... It's looking like an upgrade that we may want to skip because I think we've customized some of those entries....
10:52 Dyrcona Further down some fields get broken... Rock drawings becomes monographic series for example.
11:21 Bmagic what happens to Rock Lobster?
11:36 eeevil Dyrcona: re 2073561, the ccvm addition logic that ended up going in looks to be ... the wrong version. I feel certain there was a correct one that tested ctype, not just rec_type. I will ask 'round here
11:43 cbrown_ joined #evergreen
11:56 Dyrcona Bmagic: It ends up on Planet Claire.
11:56 * Dyrcona was in a meeting.
11:56 * Dyrcona heads out to grab lunch.
11:56 Bmagic :)

12:23 Bmagic berick: smart quotes on spellchecked web input boxes
12:24 berick ahh
12:24 csharp_ pretty sure they're "smarter-than-you-quotes" in Apple's case
12:24 Bmagic Evergreen should bill them
12:25 redavis Bmagic++
12:26 redavis It should be done via the unique api and have "rotten-apple" as the creator user

12:51 * mmorgan has a question about QueryParser, since it's the topic of the day :)
12:51 mmorgan Why are there two QueryParser.pm files?
13:33 adam_reid joined #evergreen
13:39 adam_reid Hey all! I'm interested in working on some UI fixes to the staff side of Evergreen. I was looking around in the docs and didn't find any specific note about where to look to get started with this. When looking over the Evergreen install instructions I see that angular is primarily used. When looking through the source folder the organization wasn't clear to me. Anyone have any suggestions on where to make change to the staff UI? Thanks!
13:42 jihpringle adam_reid: I'd recommend starting by coming to the UI interest group meeting as someone there should be able to point you in the right direction.  The August meeting is actually in about 15 minutes - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1u99l7a​fpg9h0nieN4huE-K2CA1S_NO0wffZ9GHPN-as/edit
13:51 csharp_ good_timing++
13:52 csharp_ adam_reid: for the Angular side, it's in Evergreen/Open-ILS/src/eg2/, and the resulting app is built in Evergreen/Open-ILS/web/eg2/
13:52 csharp_ adam_reid: for AngularJS (deprecated but still in use in EG) it's in Evergreen/Open-ILS/web/js/ui/default/staff
13:58 adam_reid Awesome, I'll see if I can squeeze in, might be a bit occupied as we are short staffed right now. Thanks!
14:03 sleary adam_reid I'll shout out to you when we finish chitchat, but you will want to have a look at the slides and notes and video from our August 24, 2023 meeting: https://wiki.evergreen-ils.or​g/doku.php?id=community:ui_ig

14:39 Dyrcona @dontcare git-quickpick
14:39 pinesol Dyrcona: The operation succeeded.  Dyrcona no longer loves git-quickpick.
14:46 * Dyrcona wonders what is phonowire?
14:47 Dyrcona Duck Duck Go apparently doesn't know either....
14:50 Dyrcona Some obsolete method for recording sound, obviously, but I've never heard of it before today.
14:54 jeff I think you're looking for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_recording using devices such as https://mcclellans.com/Silv​ertone7085WireRecorder.htm
14:54 jeff I think you can still buy Silvertone wire on eBay. :-)
14:55 Dyrcona jeff++ # But actually, I'd probably prefer not to know. :)
15:03 jeff about two feet per second, very very fine wire. pretty wild / neat.
15:03 jeff no idea how tricky preservation is.
15:04 Dyrcona Probably very tricky. I might see if I can find The Live Wire: Woody Guthrie in Performance 1949
15:07 Dyrcona I came across 'Phonodisc, phonowire, etc.' while looking at the config.coded_value_map entries that got stepped on by 1416.
15:24 eeevil mmorgan: re QP, I split it into two so the query parsing and general logic could be reused, filling in the details for specific target backends with drivers (for postgres, in our case). There was a short time when Koha used (or was going to use) QP, actually. For EG specifically, the idea was to have QP grammar always be the front end, and then if we swapped in elastic search or some solr-based search-specific backend, we'd just use a QP driver to
15:24 eeevil transmute our frontend search grammar to whatever backend we wanted to use down the road.
15:25 eeevil my hope for that remains, TBH.  there will always be some new shiny search backend, and we shouldn't have to teach our users how to spell "search in this specific field" or "turn on this particular flag/modifier" or "the way you spell 'facet' is now XXX" each time we change that out
