[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Bug squashing days

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi all,

Last fall, I put out an e-mail message suggesting community bug 
squashing days- http://markmail.org/message/22six3nkgbhr3f3t. It 
received some support at the time, but I didn't do any follow-through to 
make it happen.


Last week, I took some time to update a local spreadsheet I'm 
maintaining on Launchpad bugs that are important to libraries in the 
three MassLNC networks. I was pleased to remove some bugs that have 
since been fixed, but then I added a whole lot more. We started with 
about 50 bugs on the list, and the number is now at 83. These numbers 
reminded me of how it important it is that we try to allocate some time 
on a community level to fix bugs.


I have a more formal proposal I would like to put forward and, if it's 
agreeable to others, I commit to doing my part to try to make these days 
happen.


Proposal: Evergreen Bug Squashing Days

Goal: The goal of bug squashing days is for contributors and volunteers 
to commit the entire day to the following activities:


* Fixing bugs
* Testing bugs that have pullrequests
* General bug wrangling activities (confirming bugs, marking duplicates, 
etc.)

* Pushing bug fixes into Evergreen (for core committers)

When:
I'm proposing that we try to schedule bug squashing days on a quarterly 
basis. I was thinking August/November/February/May would be a good 
schedule where the bug squashing days aren't running up against an 
Evergreen release.


What is Needed:
* Somebody to work on scheduling the day and set up a wiki page (I 
volunteer, but am happy to hand off the task or work with somebody else 
if needed.)
* Volunteers willing to devote a day of their time to the above 
activities. These volunteers do not need to just be developers or sys 
admins. Anyone can confirm bugs, look for duplicates, or perhaps team up 
with a sys admin to test patches.


Extras:
The idea for these bug squashing days came from similar days organized 
by the Koha community. 
http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Category:Global_bug_squashing_days. 
They do a couple of things that I would love to see for Evergreen bug 
squashing days.


* The Koha community uses this great scoreboard on bug squashing days - 
http://scoreboard.koha-community.org/.  The code for the scoreboard is 
available at https://gitorious.org/scoreboard/scoreboard. It would be 
great if we had a volunteer who was willing to create a similar 
scoreboard for Evergreen bug squashing days.
* The Koha community also has Sandboxes available that makes it easier 
for librarians to test patches. It may be a little difficult to pull 
together something  for Evergreen that's as automated as these 
Sandboxes, but I think it's worthwhile to set a goal to eventually have 
some Sandbox servers available to the Evergreen community where patches 
can be tested (not just on Bug Squashing days).


I've also added this proposal to the agenda for Monday's developers 
meeting. If there is general support for this idea, then I'll put out a 
Doodle poll next week to see if we can schedule a day.


Thanks all!
Kathy

Hi all,

I'm pleased to announce that Georgia PINES has joined MassLNC to help to
fund the Enhancements to Evergreen Alerts and Message Center projects.
Thank you Georgia PINES!

We have also received some interest from Evergreen sites on the activity
metric project.

MassLNC would really love to see all three of these projects implemented
in a future release of Evergreen. If anyone is interested in the
projects and can contribute some funds, even if it's only a small amount
of money, please feel free to contact me at kluss...@masslnc.org with
your questions.

What do you get out of being a partner on one of these development
projects? Putting funds to a development project is your opportunity to
make a contribution to the future direction of Evergreen. It's a great
feeling to see a new feature in Evergreen and to say to yourself "I
helped to make that new feature happen." Budgets are tight everywhere,
but by pooling our funds together, we can see some great new
functionality at a lower cost for each partner. The recent MVC/CRA
project (aka icon project)  is a great example of a development project
where many small development contributions, combined with a couple of
contributions from some larger sites, resulted in some nice improvements
for the whole Evergreen community. Being a development partner also
ensures that  you will be part of spec discussions and testing, allowing
you to watch out for the needs of your users while the project is being
shaped.

But, wait, there's more! If you participate in a MassLNC development
project, your organization will be added to the MassLNC Wall of Fame
where we acknowledge and thank all of the sites that have worked with us
on development projects over the years -
http://masslnc.cwmars.org/node/3067. The large number of libraries and
consortia listed there is a testament to the great community we have and
the fact that there are so many sites out there that want to contribute
what they can to help make Evergreen better for everyone.

But that's not all! For a limited time only, if your organization
decides to help fund one of these projects, you will receive a batch of
cookies made by MassLNC coordinator Kathy Lussier (that's me). The
cookies will be hand-delivered to you at the next Evergreen conference
(or, if we're both there, at the next Evergreen hack-a-way).

Please take some time to look over these projects and let me know if
you're interested.

Have a nice weekend everyone!

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Delete Records

[Ben Shum]

Hi Don,

One suggestion I might have initially is to make sure that "Delete volume
with last copy" (Automatically delete a volume when the last linked copy is
delete) is set to TRUE for your library unit.  You can check for that
setting via the library settings editor (Admin --> Local Administration -->
Library Settings Editor).  I imagine that would save a step as you delete
copies from having to also select and choose to delete the call number /
volume as well.  We also do not retain empty bib records on last deletion
of volumes (that's another library setting "Retain empty bib records" which
we set to FALSE).

As far as deleting lots of copies en masse, I imagine you could place all
the items into a copy bucket and then choose to delete all the items in the
bucket.  Alternatively, there have been some script utilities I've borrowed
from MLVC that handle batch copy deletion on a larger scale via command
line action.

Catalogers may have other solutions that help them to process large batches
for deletions.  I'll let them suggest their approaches.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Delete Records

[Donald Butterworth]

Everyone,

One of the joys of switching systems is the chance to start with a clean
slate. Of course cleaning house requires deleting junk. Our junk pile
consists of about 4000 bib records with attached copy records that need to
be examined one at a time, and then usually deleted.

It seems like there are quite a few mouse clicks / key strokes involved to
delete bibs with attached copies. Is there a method of doing this in one
fell swoop in 2.5.2? If not is there a method in a newer release? Any
recommendations?

Thanks,

Don

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen for Academics -- PAC Flavor

[Kathy Lussier]

  * Never make a user click twice if there is a way to click once
  * Must be compatible with all manner of handheld devices
  * Must comply with current accessibility standards for the sight
impaired

I would argue these are principles that should be kept in mind for a 
catalog for all audiences. Looking at the last two: the responsive 
design catalog is fairly new and probably has areas where it could be 
improved for handheld devices. If there is a specific area of the 
catalog that needs improvement for mobile devices, I encourage you to 
file a LP report on it. There were several people involved in that 
project, and I'm sure many of us would be happy to continue work to make 
it better.


My understanding is also that the catalog is WCAG compliant as of 2.6, 
so this is another area where a bug report should be filed if it's not 
meeting standards.



Must comply with current library standards (no matter how ridiculous)


I would need more information on this one.

In my opinion there should be: less art, more text, less white space, 
fewer headings


So *this* is the area where I would say we're talking about an academic 
flavor.  A lot of this is customizable, of course, but, if there was 
consensus among a several academics on this idea of less art, more text, 
etc., then I do think it would be fairly easy to incorporate these 
things into another template directory that is available in the core code.


Note that the author and subject entries are hot links. Clicked 
authors would result in an Author Browse Results Screen. Clicked 
Subjects would result in a Subject Browse Results Screen.


I believe it is critical to treat the whole subject phrase as a single 
entity. Treating each individual subdivision as its own searchable 
entity is not helpful. Probably 10% of the records in our collection 
have the subject subdivisions "Religious aspects -- Christianity." You 
can imagine that the results from a keyword search for either of these 
terms would be unhelpful. On the other hand clicking on the entire 
phrase, such as Psychotherapy -- Religious aspects -- Christianity, 
and being placed on a results screen for that entire phrase would lead 
the researcher to subject areas they may not have been aware of.



The current links in the record were created before a browse search was 
even available in the catalog. Now that we have browse search, I would 
be curious to hear if others think these links should now go to a browse 
search or continue launching a keyword search. I know I've heard this 
suggestion from publics and academics alike. I can't say I have an 
opinion on it, but I think it's a worthwhile discussion to have now that 
we do have a browse search that could be utilized for these links.

please find attached a starting point for what seems to me like a more 
academically oriented bibliographic record display.


Here are some principles keep in mind:

  * Never make a user click twice if there is a way to click once
  * Must be compatible with all manner of handheld devices
  * Must comply with current accessibility standards for the sight
impaired
  * Must comply with current library standards (no matter how ridiculous)
  * In my opinion there should be: less art, more text, less white
space, fewer headings

Note that the author and subject entries are hot links. Clicked 
authors would result in an Author Browse Results Screen. Clicked 
Subjects would result in a Subject Browse Results Screen.


I believe it is critical to treat the whole subject phrase as a single 
entity. Treating each individual subdivision as its own searchable 
entity is not helpful. Probably 10% of the records in our collection 
have the subject subdivisions "Religious aspects -- Christianity." You 
can imagine that the results from a keyword search for either of these 
terms would be unhelpful. On the other hand clicking on the entire 
phrase, such as Psychotherapy -- Religious aspects -- Christianity, 
and being placed on a results screen for that entire phrase would lead 
the researcher to subject areas they may not have been aware of.


That's it for me, for now. Please understand that these are my 
personal meanderings and should not be considered anything officially 
endorsed by my employer.


Happy Friday,

Don

Hi Gordana,

Hopefully this wasn't too presumptuous on my part but I added your patron 
upload info as a note to the EFA page. It's a really important option that 
shouldn't be forgotten. Also, having the possibility of an "easy" solution to 
one of the issues, may get us around to tackling it sooner than later?

Hi Martha and other interested academic libraries,

When we went up with Evergreen in 2010, we contracted with Alpha G for a daily 
patron information import program to work between Evergreen and PeopleSoft. 
Unfortunately, they weren't in a position to make it open source. But I wonder 
if it's something that many institutions are interested in, that they would be 
willing to work with the libraries to create a piece based on what they did 
that would be freely available with Evergreen? We import patron info nightly 
and it's pretty much seamless. I don't really worry about it and am happy with 
what it does.

I'm sorry if I'm not describing it well. I'm not overly technical. :-)

Hi Kelly,
Another item to add to the list of issues is support for patron record loading. 
 We have developed scripts to load new and update on-file records, but a 
user-friendly interface similar to vandelay would streamline the process.  Some 
of our college staff would also like to manage record loading themselves.

We load student records frequently.  Some colleges provide one file at the 
beginning of each semester, but our community colleges provide weekly files for 
several weeks before and after the start of each semester.  I load 300-400 
files each year for the 10 academic institutions in our consortium.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen for Academics -- PAC Flavor

Kathy and All,

I have been pondering for a couple days how I would spec out an Academic
PAC Flavor. I was going to try to write out my thoughts but decided it

a starting point for what seems to me like a more academically oriented

This idea is something that I think would be fairly easy to implement by
anyone who can customize the OPAC. You could create an academic_template
directory, add the customized tt2 file there, and then contribute those
changes to the community along with some documentation telling people how
to point to this directory in eg.conf if they want to use an academic
flavor.

We have sites that do use a fuller bibliographic description than the
default, but I think they do so because they find it to be useful for all
of their libraries, not just their academics. Are there other things you
(or other academics out there) would like to see in the academic flavor of
the catalog?

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] issue with hard due date

[Ben Shum]

Hi Robert,

Welcome aboard!  I'll try to help where I can, but this is an area of the
system that I don't tend to interact often (maybe once or twice a year to
add new hard due dates for our schools).

Some technical background... hard due dates are stored in the database as
timestamp with time zone format.  So for example, in ours, I can see past
ceiling_date like "2014-06-20 00:00:00-04" from entries in my
config.hard_due_date table.  I'd be curious to see what the actual stored
time and timezone entry was for the hard due date in your situation.
 Perhaps it stored an odd timezone as a result of the timezone on your
database server or something to do with clock/time settings on the client.

>From the staff client point of view, I can see that the entry seen from
Admin -> Server Admin -> Hard Due Date Changes shows me the current ceiling
date entry as "6/20/14 12:00 AM", but when editing it, I only get the date
portion, not the full timestamp.  That might be a potential bug in the
staff client interface between how the dojo elements render the selector
and it should also provide a way to alter / set the timestamp.

If you have direct database access, I would check what the actual timestamp
is for your hard due date entry and if it's somehow been set to 18:59:59
for your timezone, then that's something you can adjust.  Alternatively, if
the timestamp is still 00:00:00, then it might be a matter of finding out
what timezone your database / server / clients are operating on and seeing
which one is off and needing adjustment.

I highly recommend that you learn to use git if you are going to
customize your catalog or other bits of Evergreen. You can keep your
customizations in their own branches in your local git repository and
can check their compatibility with future releases of Evergreen by
merging them from time to time.

git makes it a lot easier to manage changes to files than just
eyeballing them or using other command line tools like diff, etc. In
fact, git is designed to do nothing but manage differences in files
across development and other branches.

You can also track Evergreen development via git, as well as checkout
just the branches for the releases that interest you. That is, you can
install official Evergreen releases from git checkouts. Using git does
not mean you have to install the master branch.

Hello, Tony.

When fishing for strings in pile of files, the find command can be handy. 
Something like:

/openils/var$ find ./ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep '508'

The first couple of results in my case were:
./templates/opac/parts/record/authors.tt2:xpath => '//*[@tag="508"]'
./templates/opac/parts/record/contents.tt2:xpath => '//*[@tag="508"]'

Although, be ready to cancel the command with Ctrl+C, in case it gets to a 
reports output or logs folder.

Yes, but probably safest not to experiment on a live system. Also, if you are 
not using this approach already, consider using a separate folder for your 
locally customized template files. Otherwise they would get overwritten by the 
next upgrade. Having a separate directory for customized files would also let 
you more easily keep track of differences and cross-merge with template files 
from newer versions.

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] issue with hard due date

[Robert Meeks]

Hi all,

As you’ve likely seen Don Butterworth post recently, we’ve just gone live with 
Evergreen 2.5 and have been slowly but surely working our way towards 100% 
functionality. I’ve encountered something perplexing though that I can’t seem 
to find addressed in documentation. For many of our circulation policies we’re 
using a hard due date of 1/15/15. I notice that when creating hard due date 
policies there’s nowhere to specify the time of day, just the date. I’ve 
assumed that maybe that time was set arbitrarily somewhere in the system, or 
else based on a particular closing time set somewhere in the org unit 
settings…but I can’t seem to nail it down. Right now the hard due date, when 
checking items out, is coming up as 1/15/15 at 6:59:59pm. Anyone have any 
pointers as to where I can adjust that time?

Thanks so much for all your help over the past couple of years. I know I speak 
for Don when I say we could not have gotten anywhere close to where we are 
today without all of your help.
