Chat logs:
01:27:30 Wally DesChamps: Are these notices HTML or the standard "blah" format?
01:29:36 TJ Rutkowski: Where to you put the TT code?
01:31:30 TJ Rutkowski: Do I need to have TT enabled on the my server? Or, is this part of Koha (that I never saw before 😁)?
01:32:19 TJ Rutkowski: 👏🏼 Cool, thanks!
01:32:55 George Williams - NEKLS: Due and predue digests can't use template toolkit for item or biblio information
01:33:46 George Williams - NEKLS: Yes - [anglebrackets]items.content[anglebrackets] is the only way to include information about an item or biblio in due digest or predue digest
01:33:49 Barbara Johnson: And I'm pretty sure that you can combine Template Toolkit code with the hungry alligators code
01:34:25 George Williams - NEKLS: You can use template toolkit for Library and borrower information in due and predue, but you can't use any template toolkit biblio information
01:43:18 Wally DesChamps: Is there a way to "see" the results of this before sending it "live?"
01:47:41 George Williams - NEKLS: That's cool
01:48:19 Daniel Gaghan (PPLD): was the ISSUEQSLIP he notice that we used be able to test notices with?
01:54:51 Heather Hernandez (she/her): I like the "replacement cost" inclusion, too.
01:54:59 Hall Library: on the manga example, would it be possible to have the volume number ($n) display next to the title rather than behind the call number?
01:57:13 Fred King: When I did overdues (by hand, in the early 1980s) our third notice was a bill. I looked up the long-overdue titles in Books in Print, added a processing fee, and sent the borrower a total.
02:02:28 Heather Hernandez (she/her): I did overdues by hand in the 1980s as well, and remember the printed Books in Print volumes! And the IBM Selectric typewriter! SO much easier now!!!
02:03:42 Daniel Gaghan (PPLD): Yes, we had that issue with print notice formatting. Is there a bug out on that?
02:04:24 Jenice Tate: We have a notice for our callslips, but it's under email not print. We print them out, we don't send by email. It was setup by Bywater.
02:05:22 George Williams - NEKLS: And there is a way to have template toolkit from the marc as well.
02:05:28 George Williams - NEKLS: But it's complicated
02:05:55 George Williams - NEKLS: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Customising_Notices_and_Slips
02:06:48 Lauren Denny: where do you map the fields to use them in template toolkit?
02:08:22 TJ Rutkowski: When I use a field, my logic only works if I wrap the fiend in [angle brackets], however your examples do not do this. Any thoughts on if I am doing something wrong?
02:08:27 TJ Rutkowski: Example: [% IF [anglebrackets]borrowers.borrowernumber[anglebrackets] == "3" %]
02:09:00 Lisette Scheer: [% IF borrower.borrowernumber == "3" %]
02:09:12 Jenice Tate: My notice uses the [anglebrackets]
02:10:02 George Williams - NEKLS: There is a wiki page on converting notices to Template Toolkit at https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Notices_with_Template_Toolkit
02:12:56 George Williams - NEKLS: If you say "Ex libris" 3 times while looking in the mirror a little bit of my soul dies.
02:16:06 TJ Rutkowski: Thank you!
02:17:07 Fred King: Wouldn't a fountain of apathy be more of a slow leak ending in a puddle?
02:17:26 George Williams - NEKLS: I don't really care what it means, Fred.
02:17:42 Fred King: Fair enough.
02:18:54 Daniel Gaghan (PPLD): Hopefully that solves the issue. If not I'll submit a bug.

Chat logs:
02:28:00 Fred King: One of my favorite Koha stories, which I hope is true, is that someone posted to a Koha list saying "Koha doesn't do (x)." Next morning came the reply "it does now."
02:34:41 Christopher Brannon: What? I thought you were sleeping during my presentation!
02:37:32 Tasha: Maybe a question for later on in the presentation--is it possible to debug non-working jQuery in Firefox? I haven't managed to figure that out.
02:38:00 Christopher Brannon: If you don't want all instances everywhere (on every page) affected, it is good to know the page ID and limit to just that page.
02:38:07 Tasha: Thank you
02:39:15 Christopher Brannon: F12 will open the tools, and you can also right click on something on a webpage and click on inspect.
02:39:18 Fred King: Somehow, online conferences are more exhausting than in-person conferences, wonderful though they are.
02:40:09 Jason: The console tab specifically in the inspector can be helpful in finding errors
02:43:27 Fred King: Have to go now. Thank you to everybody, this has been a great conference. Bye!
02:43:36 Christopher Brannon: So maybe have two, one for tested code, and one for new stuff you are testing.
02:45:45 Christopher Brannon: ^ Referring to the $(document).ready(function(){ sections. 2 sections might be ideal.
02:46:35 Jason: I have a bajillion $(document).ready(function(){ sections, don't judge me plz
02:48:14 TJ Rutkowski: What if the HTML does not have a CLASS? Or, if it is used by multiple elements?
02:48:33 TJ Rutkowski: Is it better to use JS vs CSS?
02:48:52 Daniel Gaghan (PPLD): George do you do a basic CSS for Koha?
02:48:56 Christopher Brannon: I'm judging you Jason.
02:49:04 Jason: I know.
02:49:27 George Williams - NEKLS: .icon_lists
02:51:06 Christopher Brannon: CSS is good for basic formatting you always want to happen. jQuery is good for dynamically changing CSS elements. But you can also do that in combination with classes as well.
02:52:28 George Williams - NEKLS: $('#main_intranet-main .biglinks-list .icon_general.icon_lists').hide();
02:54:13 Jason: I always try to fix things with CSS before resorting to JS, someone somewhere told me that is lighter? less burdensome? has less impact on load times? Something?
02:58:29 Elaine Bradtke: Seems to me css is potentially more general, js can be very particular.
02:59:52 Jason: yes! CSS is sort of cosmetic, JS can have logic. You want to make text red, use CSS. You want to make it Red IF it's a certain word then JS
03:02:53 Wally DesChamps: I LOVE this...we only have ONE library...and that extraneous thing bugs me...so, I'm glad to be able to get rid of it.
03:04:36 George Williams - NEKLS: $('#main_auth #branch').parent().hide();
03:09:46 Wally DesChamps: During upgrades, are these customizations likely to be broken?
03:11:43 Christopher Brannon: It's also a good idea to review, because sometimes the changes you make are actual features in newer versions.
03:12:28 Barbara Johnson: One thing to be aware of with the 21.05 upgrade is that the OPAC changes from Bootstrap 3 to Bootstrap 4. If you have a lot of customizations, then your code may need some updating in order to display properly.
03:13:25 Jason: If I fix something with jQuery and find a related bug or file a related bug, I like to put that bug number in the comment of my jQuery to remind me to remove it later
03:13:49 Heather Hernandez (she/her): That's such a great idea, Jason!
03:13:53 Lauren Denny: can you limit changes to one library in a consortium?
03:13:57 Christopher Brannon: Yep. I do that too.
03:21:16 Lauren Denny: how do you limit code to one library instead of all?

07:30:16 Carol Pham: Is there a SQL library for ACQ?
07:31:16 Carol Pham: Omg, I can't believe I missed these. Thank You!
07:39:40 Rebecca Coert - APL: If you use Tab Separated Text (second option) you can format those when importing in Excel.
07:40:34 Rebecca Coert - APL: I find it cleaner than CSV
07:40:48 Heather Hernandez (she/her): Oh, come on--Slow Koha-US Cleanup TV!!!
07:42:48 Bob Bennhoff: Gotta run and go explain how lost items work to one of our libraries
07:43:04 Jason: Thanks Bob!
07:43:04 George - laptop: See you later Bob
07:49:11 Rebecca Coert - APL: that's great! Is this on the wiki?
07:51:04 Rebecca Coert - APL: LOVE the warning triangle!
07:54:20 George - laptop: Warning triangle video: https://youtu.be/__9M-tKxGdI
07:54:40 Barbara Johnson: /*BEGIN Re-sort Invoice table in desc order - RT 56230 1.31.19 lg*/$(document).ready(function () { if (window.location.href.indexOf("invoices.pl") [rightangledbracket] -1) { $(window).load(function () { var table = $('#resultst').DataTable(); // Sort by column 2 and then re-draw table .order( [ 2, 'desc' ] ) .draw(); }); }});
08:00:54 Jason: $("td[id^= + value +]")
08:01:28 Rebecca Coert - APL: [adorable!]
08:02:51 George - laptop: [attribute^=value]
08:03:09 George - laptop: selects everything with the attribute starting with "value"
08:05:04 Wally DesChamps: You all are blowing my mind with this...and I am loving it! I wish I was as adept as you are. I'm looking forward to continuing to learn more!!!
08:05:59 Heather Hernandez (she/her): It shows the community in action--that there's always support and help!!
08:06:20 Wally DesChamps: @heather … yes, indeed!
08:08:47 Rebecca Coert - APL: These meetings are so helpful and informative! Thank you!
08:09:39 Heather Hernandez (she/her): Kitteh!! ❤️
08:10:50 Victor Zuniga: Any tips/lessons learned on upgrading from an older Koha version (16.05.02.000) to the latest one? I think I read somewhere MySQL was replaced for a different DB server. Anything I should be aware of with compatibility/Schema issues?
08:15:07 Victor Zuniga: Thanks George!

Chat logs:
02:01:20 Jason: George's resources: https://bit.ly/2XUzZu3
02:12:55 Jason Vasche (RRPL): sorry if you mentioned this and I missed it... w3schools offers tutorials for SQL and MySQL. Which one would be more appropriate for Koha?
02:15:34 Daniel Gaghan (PPLD): MYSQL
02:23:13 Bruce Metcalf: Between is inclusive by definition?
02:24:05 Wally DesChamps: I noticed some lines are indented...is there a specific amount of space that is required?
02:24:36 Bruce Metcalf: can time stamps be truncated to 8 digits?
02:28:08 Daniel Gaghan (PPLD): Sounds like the stuff of nightmares
02:28:16 Rebecca Coert: Yay for Tabs!
02:28:51 Christopher Brannon: George, is it possible to add comments to SQL?
02:28:59 Daniel Gaghan (PPLD): Probably getting ahead of myself but do you know of any Koha database schemes that conflict when joined?
02:29:20 Christopher Brannon: Comments are always good
02:32:24 Wally DesChamps: Can a constraint use "contains" "x"
02:33:16 Christopher Brannon: parentheses are helpful when using OR in combination with other conditions
02:36:31 Christopher Brannon: Wally, using LIKE "%x%" would be an appropriate way to do something like what you are asking, rather than contains.
02:44:24 Victoria: Is it possible to create a report where some item field is not blank? (For ex. Non-public note is not blank)
02:47:42 Victoria: yes, thank you so much!
02:53:01 Jason Vasche (RRPL): is the default JOIN value LEFT JOIN?
02:53:56 Jason Vasche (RRPL): to clarify... looking at the helpful diagrams, what would plain JOIN represent?
02:54:16 Jason Vasche (RRPL): thanks
02:55:36 Bruce Metcalf: Yes, very basic, but exactly what I need to get started. Thanks!
02:55:53 Wally DesChamps: This was perfect!!!
02:55:57 Jason Vasche (RRPL): thank you very much
02:55:58 Rebecca Coert: It was basic, but I still learned a lot! Wish I had this workshop a year ago :)
02:56:04 Ashley Johnson: Very helpful for a newbie!
02:56:07 Victoria: Thank you!
02:56:09 Sheila Taylor: Thank you!
02:56:32 Victor Zuniga: Great presentation. Joins tend to be a key component when pulling data from multiple tables. Thanks!

Chat logs:
00:00:00 Intro
03:17:21 Ashley Johnson: Have the Acq SIG's discussions included improvements to patron suggestions?
03:20:19 Ashley Johnson: Exactly!
03:21:39 Amanda Campbell: Ooh, yes please! Automatic holds!
03:22:39 Heather Hernandez (she/her): Acquisitions "bugs" in Bugzilla: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=ASSIGNED&component=Acquisitions&product=Koha&query_format=advanced
03:22:59 Kristen Martinez: Does anyone here have a way to automate holds for items the library decided to purchase after receiving a purchase suggestion?
03:25:32 Heather Hernandez (she/her): The syspref is: suggestion (and you set to "allow" or "don't allow"
03:25:35 George Williams - NEKLS: The system preference to enable/disable borrower suggestions in the OPAC is "suggestion"
03:25:52 Heather Hernandez (she/her): Snap! You owe me a Coke, George!
03:25:54 Lisette Scheer: Kristin, we can't automate them but we use a special suggest_status "LCLD ORDERED" that our collections librarians use when they order suggested items and one of our staff members goes through when she's doing new books and checks for suggestions, then places the hold and changes the suggest_status to "LCLD Hold Placed"
03:26:10 George Williams - NEKLS: Next time I'm in San Francisco
03:26:24 Heather Hernandez (she/her): Definitely!
03:26:52 Nancy Davis: In Acquisitions, under Suggestions, can you explain what the "Checked" status means? And can I resolve or move the 3 items out of there?
03:27:08 Kristen Martinez: Thanks, Lisette! How does that work for popular titles when they may have been suggested by multiple patrons?
03:27:39 Heather Hernandez (she/her): Also handy: https://koha-community.org/manual/21.05/en/html/acquisitions.html#managing-purchase-suggestions
03:27:42 Jason: Place holds for patrons on accepted purchase suggestions: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=27595 -- Like, Comment, Subscribe
03:29:07 Lisette Scheer: Kristin (so it's in the chat) holds are placed with the oldest suggestion first and then the newest one last. We backdate them.
03:30:28 Kristen Martinez: Thank you, Heather and Jason! I think our situation gets a little complicated as we use Aspen Discovery for our patron-placed purchase suggestions. We haven't started using staff client purchase suggestions yet.
03:31:08 Kristen Martinez: Thanks, Lisette!
03:31:48 Heather Hernandez (she/her): Ah--interesting! Perhaps a Bywater staff member could be a guest at an upcoming Acquisitions SIG meeting to show off some of those Aspen-Koha things?
03:32:58 Nancy Davis: We have 3 in Checked, Status which have all been ordered, and I wasn't sure how to remove them
03:33:03 Christopher Brannon: Rhonda, are you on a single library system or in a consortium?
03:33:47 Nancy Davis: Yes, thank you
03:35:29 Kristen Martinez: Can you speak more about how suggestions placed in Aspen are visible in Koha? Ours do not carry over.
03:35:46 Kristen Martinez: We may need to update a setting, perhaps?
03:37:53 Kristen Martinez: And that is a great idea, Heather, getting a Bywater guest speaker
03:38:35 Heather Hernandez (she/her): I bet there are a lot of Aspen Curious who'd be interested!
03:39:45 Kristen Martinez: Time for a ticket! Thank you.
03:42:06 Christopher Brannon: Yes. That was what I was going for. A demo would be great.
03:43:52 Christopher Brannon: Did Rhonda just say "meet your peeps?"
03:44:06 Christopher Brannon: lol
03:44:25 Fred King: I have a stuffed peep, but I think it's at work.
03:44:30 Heather Hernandez (she/her): We need a Koha-US tshirt that says, "'Meet your peeps!' --Rhonda"!!
03:44:43 Fred King: And a couple of dragons.
03:44:52 Sheri Waite: Theme of next years conference
03:45:05 George Williams - NEKLS: Can someone get that t-shirt into threadless by the end of the day
03:45:07 Christopher Brannon: A Koha-US branded peep
03:45:15 Fred King: let's hope it's an in-person conference

07:59:40 Heather Hernandez (she/her): https://youtu.be/KD48Q9gNg5w
08:00:07 Heather Hernandez (she/her): https://www.youtube.com/user/alctsce/playlists
08:02:20 Victor Zuniga: "Metadata connects everything..." Idea for a T-shirt?
08:06:02 Heather Hernandez (she/her): I would SO buy that tshirt!!
08:07:24 Jason Vasche (RRPL): what do you find to be a strength of the basic editor?
08:07:33 bjohnson: please give some love to following bugs: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26373.
08:07:36 bjohnson: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=26836
08:09:10 Jason Vasche (RRPL): fixed fields makes good sense, it can be frustrating to toggle the helper in the advanced editor
08:09:32 Victor Zuniga: Any ideas as to why the non-public note field value would not display when editing a record? It does display when you first attempt to input a value into the record. It just not display the value after initially inserting into the record.
08:15:00 Tasha: When time to answer, do you have to reload records to change frameworks, once records have already been loaded? It doesn't look like you can use batch edit tools to change to a different framework.
08:16:38 Heather Hernandez (she/her): Ah--no, I was mistaken! You know which item record you're actually editing because it's highlighted in that pinkish color, which this one was.
08:30:24 Heather Hernandez (she/her): Kitty!!
08:31:09 Bruce Metcalf: Doofus the Blob. "Pick me up! Now put me down!"
08:31:37 Melanie: Lists?
08:34:21 Hall Library: We have bag items as well. We have reduced the number of items in the bags to five and barcode each one. Which was easier for us. Because each items cost.
08:37:49 Margaret Brown: We treat our Special Collections as a separate branch. They have their own weird classification scheme.
08:39:24 Hall Library: Set up a branch transfer make the location and check it out to that branch that you made up.
08:50:20 Fred King: https://xkcd.com/208/
08:50:54 Heather Hernandez (she/her): YES, Fred!!
08:51:19 Jason: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=21860
08:51:59 Hall Library: That is not how we learned to catalog nor shelve books. The "The or An" are always last

06:57:36 George Williams - NEKLS: Hello Georgette
06:58:07 George Williams - NEKLS: Hi, Wendy
06:58:33 George Williams - NEKLS: HI, Mary
06:59:22 Fred King: We circulate maybe twenty items per month, so this is my first circulation meeting.
07:02:08 Bob Bennhoff: We went through a process where we had to verify with amazon the emails that originated the messages. It required clicking on a link after ByWater triggered an email out to those emails.
07:03:07 George Williams - NEKLS: Hi, Victor
07:03:51 Victor Zuniga: Hi George!
07:05:42 Fred King: (shameless self-promotion) Victor, take a look at avengingchicken.online--you might find some of my presentations for non-supported libraries helpful.
07:05:56 George Williams - NEKLS: I think one of the issues is that e-mail is a technology that is still pretty similar to what it was in 2000
07:06:05 Gene: Amazon bounces aren't as verbose as the old ones, so it lets one somewhat in the dark about where the problem is.
07:06:05 Victor Zuniga: Thanks Fred!! Very much appreciated!!
07:06:43 George Williams - NEKLS: Hi, Ashley
07:06:51 Heather Hernandez (she/her): Nice to meet all the new folks! So glad you're here!

07:25:19 Rebecca Coert - Arlington PL: Notices Section on Bugzilla - https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/buglist.cgi?component=Notices&list_id=385051&product=Koha&resolution=---
07:28:29 Gene: We just had to bail on USPS notices. Too time/labor intensive for staff.
07:28:57 Christopher Brannon: We've had nothing but nightmares with iTiva.
07:29:38 Rebecca Coert - Arlington PL: BUG: Digest option for Hold Notice (started in 2012!!):
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8838
07:29:41 Christopher Brannon: Why iTiva over Twillio? It is my understanding that Twillio is way cheaper.
07:30:06 Rebecca Coert - Arlington PL: Oops- wrong one. here's the right link: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=8838
07:30:40 Rebecca Coert - Arlington PL: Does anyone NOT use phone notices? We do not have them.
07:30:52 Gene: We don't use them either.
07:30:52 Carol Corrales: We do not use phone notices.
07:31:00 Georgette Rogers: we don't use phone
07:31:01 Heather Hernandez (she/her): We don't use phone notices, but we're a weird library.:)
07:31:15 Christopher Brannon: We don't. But we have 4 libraries out of 27 that do use it, and they are dropping it because it is iTiva.
07:31:25 Victor Zuniga: We dropped phone notifications 5 years ago. TOO MANY headaches...
07:32:10 Fred King: We don't use phone notices, and our server stopped sending e-mail notices for reasons I never figured out.
07:33:13 Rebecca Coert - Arlington PL: I would love to see an OPT-OUT messaging option in koha.
07:33:21 Heather Hernandez (she/her): My father-in-law is in his 90s and does great with, "the phone told me..." (i.e. texts!).
07:34:13 Holly Mills: Opt outs would be great ^^
07:39:09 Bob Bennhoff: We use Shoutbomb for text
07:39:58 Fred King: We have Jory to send out messages and calls, but she keeps threatening to retire.
07:40:00 Victor Zuniga: We were looking at Shoutbomb. It had some neat features like typing a number and getting a list of overdue items or holds
07:43:59 Fred King: Liberry?
07:44:49 Daniel Gaghan (PPLD): Yup, they think that's the right way to say it.

07:50:25 bjohnson: https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=27208
07:51:09 Daniel Gaghan (PPLD): Sorry some just started using a power drill over me so I cannot hear anything.
07:51:09 Rebecca Coert - Arlington PL: Barbara - I've already added to your Bug! :D
