Hello all, having a problem with Z3950 searches in my new installation, anybody around who could advise? |
| 10:46 |
|
chris |
hi martin .. i could try |
| 10:46 |
|
martinmorris |
thank you |
| 10:46 |
|
chris |
(but im going to need to go to bed soon) |
| 10:47 |
|
martinmorris |
i keep forgetting the time difference, it's 1147 here :) |
| 10:47 |
|
martinmorris |
basically, i do the search, blank page comes up, nothing happens |
| 10:47 |
|
chris |
so you have 15 mins :-) (10.47pm here) |
| 10:47 |
|
chris |
ahh i think ive heard this one before |
| 10:47 |
|
chris |
which template set are you using, the default ones or the npl one? |
| 10:47 |
|
martinmorris |
the default ones i believe |
| 10:48 |
|
martinmorris |
the one that comes with the installation |
| 10:48 |
|
martinmorris |
i get a page that search "Search on" and a button underneath "Search internet" |
| 10:48 |
|
chris |
can you try changing to the npl ones and check if it works if so it is the problem i was thinking of |
| 10:48 |
|
martinmorris |
i press that button, it goes away and thinks for a few seconds, blank page |
| 10:48 |
|
martinmorris |
ok, will do |
| 10:48 |
|
chris |
(you can change it in the systempreferences) |
| 10:49 |
|
martinmorris |
which is different from system parameters? |
| 10:50 |
|
martinmorris |
it's OK found it |
| 10:50 |
|
chris |
cool |
| 10:50 |
|
martinmorris |
the npl template is very plain, just black and white basically, is that right? |
| 10:51 |
|
chris |
without any css yep .. you can define in systempreferences where the css files live too |
| 10:51 |
|
martinmorris |
fair enough |
| 10:52 |
|
martinmorris |
that is a little different |
| 10:52 |
|
martinmorris |
i now get "Select Search Libraries" |
| 10:52 |
|
martinmorris |
underneath i have two headings "Library" and "Select" |
| 10:52 |
|
martinmorris |
then the button |
| 10:52 |
|
martinmorris |
do I have to define some libraries to search? |
| 10:52 |
|
chris |
and that should be the z3950 servers you have defined? |
| 10:52 |
|
chris |
ah ha |
| 10:52 |
|
chris |
yep |
| 10:52 |
|
martinmorris |
that would be the answer! |
| 10:52 |
|
martinmorris |
now, one other question |
| 10:52 |
|
martinmorris |
when i define them - does it matter what sort of MARC they use to reply in |
| 10:53 |
|
martinmorris |
can i use library of congress, new zealand libraries, the british library and so on....? |
| 10:53 |
|
chris |
in theory :) |
| 10:53 |
|
chris |
but i think that if you chose the MARC21 framework when you installed Koha |
| 10:53 |
|
martinmorris |
(I did choose marc21) |
| 10:54 |
|
chris |
you will want to go for z3950 servers that return MARC21 |
| 10:54 |
|
martinmorris |
such as library of congress? |
| 10:54 |
|
chris |
(which i think all three do, certainly LOC and NZ do) |
| 10:54 |
|
martinmorris |
i think so too |
| 10:54 |
|
martinmorris |
thanks |
| 10:54 |
|
martinmorris |
final question - are there some nice css files out there i can use for my intranet? |
| 10:55 |
|
chris |
there should be some that came with it, lemme pull up a koha running npl templates and find what i have defined |
| 10:55 |
|
martinmorris |
thank you |
| 10:57 |
|
chris |
ok |
| 10:57 |
|
chris |
intranetcolorstylesheet |
| 10:57 |
|
chris |
for that one |
| 10:57 |
|
chris |
try colors.css |
| 10:57 |
|
chris |
(made by an american obviously :)) |
| 10:58 |
|
chris |
then the menu done the side should change to a nicer looking one |
| 10:58 |
|
martinmorris |
ill take a quick look thanks |
| 10:59 |
|
martinmorris |
oh that's significantly better thank you |
| 10:59 |
|
martinmorris |
i take it if i poke around i'll see other style sheets |
| 11:00 |
|
martinmorris |
it's your bedtime, thanks for your help :) |
| 11:00 |
|
chris |
cool that file lives in koha/intranet/htdocs/intranet-tmpl/npl/en/includes/ |
| 11:00 |
|
chris |
there may be other ones in there .. |
| 11:00 |
|
chris |
take a look around have a play ;) |
| 11:01 |
|
martinmorris |
thank you :) |
| 11:01 |
|
chris |
and now ill go to bed and hopefully my son will too :) |
| 11:01 |
|
chris |
(7 months old and having a grumpy night) |
| 11:01 |
|
chris |
good luck |
| 11:02 |
|
martinmorris |
good night :) |
| 11:14 |
|
martinmorris |
if anybody else is around, that's all setup and looking better but i notice that koha only seems to support unimarc and usmarc for z39.50 searches - is that changeable? |
| 11:37 |
|
kados |
martinmorris: yes |
| 11:38 |
|
kados |
martinmorris: the latest version in CVS should support all available marc types |
| 11:38 |
|
kados |
you can get it from savannah |
