Time Nick Message 12:27 paul hi owen 12:27 owen hi paul 12:28 paul working on online help (wiki => koha 2.2) today 12:29 owen That's great. 12:29 owen I eagerly await the online help for Authorities. I have no idea how that works! 12:30 paul mmm... bad news, i havent worked on them yet ;-) 19:07 tungsten hi 19:10 tungsten if I were to populate a marc with 245h =book do I need to do anything other than notify itemtype =BOOK in the parameter itemtype screen? 19:11 tungsten I'm not making the connection of exactly what tag is involed in defining itemtype is it user specified or hidden? 19:12 tungsten thanks 19:14 owen Did you define your item types in parameters? 19:19 owen The way I understand it, there are 3 things that have to happen 19:19 owen 1. You have to set up item types. You do this by going to the Koha Intranet: Paramters section and clicking on 'item types' 19:20 owen Next, you have to set up the link between the item type and the MARC tag where you're storing item type information 19:20 owen To do that you go into 'Links Koha - MARC DB' in Paramters and choose 'biblioitems' from the drop-down menu 19:22 owen Then edit the 'itemtype' entry. For instance, we store item type in 942 c, so we have that selected here. 19:22 owen I think that's all the pieces. I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong--I'm not the one who set it up in our system. 19:26 tungsten thanks owen that's a big help 19:48 owen 'evening all 20:10 tungsten item count still zero 20:12 tungsten using default Link-Koha__MarcDB in parameters choosing biblioitems from the drop down menu tag 300 subfield f 20:13 tungsten I set the tag ==BK and the parameter to BK 20:15 tungsten the 300f shows up in a search of the biblio as well as local datas like barcde dewey and price 20:15 tungsten I set the 300f tag ==BK and the parameter to BK 20:42 rach and you made an itemtype bk? 20:42 rach can I see it at all? 22:11 tungsten i'm back 22:11 rach hi 22:14 tungsten I think I might need to do some work on branch and holding branch the holding branch in my marcs is undefined it be nice if there were an expression like itme count = biblioitems.itemtype+...+... 22:16 tungsten i'm manipulating my marc tags to fit the koha default structure for the [1]marc21 installer option 22:19 tungsten thanks 22:39 tungsten got item count yeah!!!!!!!!!!!! 22:40 tungsten now to test for a biblio with multiple copies 22:40 rach yeah ha 22:52 tungsten works perfectly 22:52 chris sweet 22:54 tungsten I intend to write a detailed report of my experience.
