05:09 paul  et moi je suis tjs là
05:09 JYL57 Paul, I'm back
04:58 JYL57 Suis au téléphone...
04:58 JYL57 salut Paul
04:54 paul  monsieur lemaire, mes salutations du matin
21:57 kados http://66.213.78.101/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?bib=147526
21:57 kados clickable gutenberg e-texts make their way into NPLs catalog:
20:30 kados http://66.213.78.101/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl
20:29 kados chris and everyone: add <img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/<!-- TMPL_VAR name="isbn" -->.01.THUMBZZZ.jpg" /> to the opac-searchresults.tmpl to display a small graphic for each result!
20:14 kados http://kados.org/struct.txt is the data dumper for this object ... I'd like to be able to loop through each customer review awith summary, comment and rating
20:13 kados it's driving me nuts!
20:13 kados $template->param( REVIEWS => \@reviews );
20:13 kados }
20:13 kados         }
20:13 kados                 push @reviews, +{ CustomerReview => $reviews->{ Comment }};
20:13 kados  for my $reviews ( @{ $details->{ Reviews }->{ CustomerReview } } ) {
20:13 kados next unless $details->{ Reviews };
20:12 kados for my $details( @{ $amazon_details->{ Details } } ) {
20:12 kados my @reviews;
20:12 kados http://kados.org/struct.txt
20:12 kados chris could you take a look at this:
19:54 owen  :( Hate the way the Amazon graphic looks on our page.  But I'm being to negative! :)
19:44 kados s/book/book image/
19:44 kados erp I took away the link and made the book link there
19:43 kados owen I also added a link to the "see inside this book" and changed the image appropriately
19:32 owen  I wonder how chris handled that?  I'd guess round it up or down and use it to build an img tag
19:30 kados http://66.213.78.101/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?bib=16595
19:29 kados sweet I got the amazon item rating working:
19:20 kados $amazon_details = $VAR1
19:20 kados }
19:20 kados         $template->param(rating => $result->{AvgCustomerRating}->{ 0 });
19:20 kados foreach my $result (@{$amazon_details->{Details}}){
19:20 kados for now
19:20 kados I'm trying to parse that data, specifically AvgCustomerRating
19:19 kados http://kados.org/struct.txt
19:18 kados chris:
19:14 tim   If I remember.
19:14 tim   thanks chris.  I'll try that next time.
19:11 JYL57 And nice RC4 as far as I can see... :-D
19:10 JYL57 bye !
19:10 JYL57 Ok, chat with you tomorrow...
19:09 JYL57  Paul still awake ?!
18:42 kados marclist=biblioitems.isbn&and_or=or&operator==&value=0553380958&value=0380977427
18:42 kados something like:
18:40 kados so I'd like to do a search on multiple isbns in koha ... is that possible?
18:39 kados :-)
18:39 kados oops
18:39 kados does our current search model allow that?
18:34 chris try a full stop then start of apache, not just a restart
18:26 tim   I already rebooted, but would like to know for next time.
18:26 tim   It must've cached the file.  How would I fix that without rebooting?
18:18 chris how mad
18:17 tim   I deleted /usr/lib/apache/suexec and restarted apache and the logs say it still loaded suexec ok.
18:16 chris :)
18:16 chris of arrays
18:16 paul  of hashes ;-)
18:15 kados I"m still slow on the refs of hashes of arrays of hashes :-)
18:15 kados ok ... I'll think on it but for now Ive gotta get the rest of these variables out there
18:15 chris eg opac_detail.pl?amazon=yes&bib=etc
18:15 kados ahh good idea
18:14 paul  just add a <!-- TMPL_IF name="amazon_datas" --> link
18:14 chris or call opac_detail.pl with another param
18:14 kados and then have a link on opac_detail.pl
18:14 paul  no need to copy :
18:14 kados and tmpl
18:14 kados so opac_amazon_detail.pl
18:14 chris yeah
18:14 kados so basically I could just copy a opac_detail.pl with extra data
18:14 paul  (going to bed really soon : 10:30 in a quarter)
18:13 chris :-)
18:13 paul  ('night for me chris ;-) )
18:13 kados chris: right
18:13 paul  good idea from chris
18:13 chris morning paul congrats on c4
18:13 kados dev id, associate id, light or heavy, data desired array,
18:13 paul  'morning chris
18:13 chris then they click that and get the same page again, but with the amazon data
18:13 chris and some help to say this might be slow
18:13 chris with a button the user can click, that says fetch me amazon data
18:12 kados a small config file that has
18:12 chris 1/ show plain opac-detail page
18:12 kados when I finish making all the variables available I'll need to do
18:12 chris what you might need to do is make it a 2 step process
18:12 chris yeah
18:12 kados problem is the terms of use for cacheing data is pretty complex
18:12 kados right ... well since we have a T1 it's not too bad ... but I should expand the module to cache data locally
18:11 chris its very dependent on ur connection too
18:10 kados ahh
18:10 paul  so, much more than a sql query !
18:10 paul  yes kados, but querying a webserver requires at least some dozens of ms
18:10 kados my $content = get($url);
18:09 kados I need to add a timeout but I'm not sure how
18:09 kados then it uses xml::simple to parse and display that file
18:09 kados this module only grabs one file per details page from amazon
18:06 rach  that's an html thing I suspect?
18:06 rach  you would think so
18:05 paul  in fact, i think the slowest thing is the time to query amazon.com !!!
18:05 rach  that's the one I was lookinga t
18:05 rach  http://66.213.78.101/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?bib=17071
18:05 paul  works fine with all isbns returned by amazon
18:05 paul  look at the link below (66.213...)
18:05 rach  tricky
18:05 paul  really a killer feature...
18:04 rach  ah I see
18:04 paul  the idea rach, is to show similar items that are on amazon.com, but only if they are available in the library
18:04 rach  are you wanting to just display that text, only if there are similar items?
18:04 paul  select isbn from biblioitems where isbn in [isbn1,isbn2...]
18:03 paul  you improve the cpu usage doing
18:03 paul  i don't see another possibility !
18:03 paul  (BUT : for instance, no index on isbn !!!)
18:03 paul  otherwise, i don't think it would be too cpu consuming
18:02 paul  if you don't add an index on isbn, you're right
18:02 kados yea might be ...
18:02 owen  that means querying the database for each of them before the page loads--seems like that would be a drag!
18:02 paul  count if there is a result
18:01 paul  to do that, you need to do a select count(*) from biblioitems where isbn=?
18:01 paul  what is your question exactly ?
17:59 kados so I only want them to display if we have the isbn in the catalog
17:59 rach  it all fell apart a bit here
17:59 paul  hello kaitiaky
17:58 rach  sorry about last week
17:58 rach  hi paul
17:58 kados <!-- /TMPL_IF -->
17:58 kados <li><!-- TMPL_VAR NAME="Product" --></li><!-- /TMPL_LOOP --></ul></td></tr>
17:58 kados <tr><th>Similar Items:</th><td><ul><!-- TMPL_LOOP NAME="SIMILAR_PRODUCTS" -->
17:58 kados <!-- TMPL_IF NAME="SIMILAR_PRODUCTS" -->
17:58 kados here's what I have currently:
17:58 kados I'd like to put together that TMPL_IF for the similar items
17:58 paul  10PM in France, so not here for a long time...
17:57 paul  yep
17:57 kados paul still around?
17:57 chris i think u need to move the suexec binary, and restart apache
17:57 kados :-)
17:57 tim   I can check the apache manual.  Just figured it would be easier to ask if you already knew.
17:56 chris cool joshua
17:56 kados hehe
17:56 kados "read inside this book"
17:56 kados or any item on our catalog
17:56 kados http://66.213.78.101/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?bib=16595
17:56 kados hehe check this out!
17:55 chris :)
17:55 chris either that or we change the docroot, but that might just cause more problems
17:54 chris umm i dunno :-) ill go look at the apache manual
17:54 rach  anyone here from canada?
17:54 tim   How do I do that?
17:53 chris probably fastest fix is to turn suexec off
17:53 chris right
17:52 chris command not in docroot
17:52 tim   heh.  idunno.  I just installed Debian and did a dist-upgrade.
17:52 chris that will be why its not liking it
17:52 chris ahhh you are running it under suexec tim?
17:52 tim   [2004-12-08 14:50:14]: error: command not in docroot (/usr/local/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac-main.pl)
17:52 tim   [2004-12-08 14:50:14]: info: (target/actual) uid: (nobody/nobody) gid: (nogroup/nogroup) cmd: opac-main.pl
17:51 tim   [2004-12-08 14:50:05]: error: command not in docroot (/usr/local/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac-main.pl)
17:51 tim   [2004-12-08 14:50:05]: info: (target/actual) uid: (nobody/nobody) gid: (nogroup/nogroup) cmd: opac-main.pl
17:51 tim   Here are some errors from /var/log/apache/suexec.log
17:43 tim   I got mysql to start on boot.  Now I just need to track down the error on the Koha pages.
17:17 paul  i forget to add : change my www.koha-fr.org server !
17:17 kados wow!
17:17 paul  Burkina faso capital
17:17 paul  + 2 RFP that are 100% sure but libraries are waiting for budget...
17:16 paul  + 4 other RFPs on the way
17:16 paul  + a BIG RFP with another company : 300 000¤ budgeted, 35000 for me
17:16 paul  + the stat module for EMN
17:16 paul  + a travel in ouagadougou in februrary
17:16 paul  + SAN Provence & my travel to npl in january probably
17:15 paul  in fact, i've 2 libraries to migrate (40000 & 13000 items)
17:15 paul  (henri damien laurent, that works on Koha a little 2 years ago)
17:15 kados maybe time to charge more :-)
17:15 paul  i'm trying to hire a friend
17:15 kados hehe
17:15 paul  & will be overwhelmed soon...
17:14 kados I'll commit our self-checkout, Amazon.pm for 2.4 too
17:14 paul  but i'm a little afraid : i've too much succes here in France
17:14 kados cool
17:14 paul  yep
17:14 kados is that slated for 2.4?
17:14 kados right ...
17:14 paul  (will also solve FindDuplicate perf problem)
17:14 paul  yes
17:13 kados right ... so one instance of each marc_word with an array of bibids with that word and where .. is that what you mean?
17:13 paul  but anyway, i think the best perf improvement will be reached with marc_words index of index table
17:13 kados (and ssl certs too :-))
17:12 kados it's working but no data yet
17:12 kados opac.athenscounty.lib.oh.us
17:12 paul  ok
17:12 kados 2.2
17:12 kados but I haven't tested it yet ... too busy with stuff
17:12 paul  next is ?
17:12 kados paul: our next server is running mod_perl
17:11 paul  kados : did you test Koha with mod_perl or plan to ?
17:11 kados sweetness!
17:11 paul  yep
17:11 kados hehe put a <TMPL_IF> in front of that and we're good to go :-)
17:10 paul  marclist=biblioitems.isbn&and_or=and&operator==&value=<TMPL_VAR name="amazonisbn">
17:10 paul  so for amazon, it's :
17:10 paul  and that's all !
17:10 paul  value is the value you want to search
17:10 paul  operator can be : =, >,<,<=,>=,start, contains
17:09 paul  let me continue :
17:09 paul  (maybe could be done in another way. anyway, you can pass an array of marclist, and_or, operator...)
17:09 paul  in a GET http request yes
17:09 paul  and_or should always be and
17:09 owen  just one?
17:08 paul  marclist=XXXX contains a MARC or a non MARC field (like biblio.title or 245f)
17:08 paul  op=do_search is to tell you want to search
17:08 paul  koha/opac-search.pl?op=do_search&marclist=bibliosubject.subject&and_or=and&operator=contains&value=ENFANT
17:08 owen  yes!
17:08 paul  owen want to know how search marc works  ?
17:07 paul  do you know how search.marc works ?
17:07 kados now to get those reviews ...
17:07 kados hehe
17:07 kados yep
17:07 paul  and add a link to them if yes !
17:07 paul  just searching in the catalogue if you have similar products isbn
17:07 kados or passed to opac-detail.pl
17:06 kados check the "similar products" section ... those are isbns just waiting to be tweaked into a search url :-)
17:06 paul  great !
17:06 kados http://66.213.78.101/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?bib=16595
17:06 kados hehe ... check this out:
17:01 tim   Nope.  Still trying to get mysql to start on boot.  Then I'll work from there.
17:00 owen  tim, any luck?
16:53 kados I'm working on it now
16:53 kados ok ...
16:52 paul  HTH
16:52 paul  misses 1 hash, SimilarProduct
16:52 paul  hash-array-hash-array !
16:52 paul  and you loop on
16:52 paul  it's a hash-array-hash-hash-array
16:51 paul  kados, i think you miss the 'SimilarProduct' level.
16:48 paul  kados, what's your problem ? it does not work ?
16:46 paul  (was with wife on phone)
16:35 kados if you could take a look I'd be eternally grateful :-)
16:34 kados (this is a pastebot)
16:34 kados http://www.inkdroid.org:8888/244
16:34 kados paul here's my problem:
16:28 tim   I think I got that problem fixed.  Rebooting to test it.
16:26 paul  salut JYL57
16:25 paul  kados, i'm back
16:24 tim   I thought I had that in my notes.
16:24 tim   mysql wasn't started, but that wasn't the only problem because it's still not working.  I forgot how to get it to start on boot.
16:13 tim   and some notices.
16:13 tim   [Wed Dec  8 12:36:45 2004] [error] (2)No such file or directory: mod_mime_magic: can't read magic file /etc/apache/share/magic
16:13 tim   [Wed Dec  8 12:36:44 2004] [error] (2)No such file or directory: mod_mime_magic: can't read magic file /etc/apache/share/magic
16:13 tim   I just have errors from starting apache.
16:11 tim   That's all in the Koha logs.  I'll check the apache logs...
16:11 owen  Are you sure there's nothing else in the log?
16:11 owen  I think that sounds right.
16:10 tim   Owner and group are both www-data
16:10 tim   Permissions are 755.  What should they be?
16:07 tim   I haven't messed with permissions yet.
16:07 owen  Brand new install?  No parameters set yet?
16:06 tim   Just the error saying it can't find favicon.ico
16:06 owen  Anything above that?  That's the generic message that is tagged on to most error messages.
16:05 tim   [Wed Dec  8 12:38:10 2004] [error] [client 192.168.1.152] Premature end of script headers: /usr/local/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/mainpage.pl
16:04 owen  look at /usr/local/koha/log/koha-error_log
16:03 owen  What does the error log say?
16:03 tim   I just set up a different system yesterday and it gives me a 500 Internal Server Error after the Koha splash screen.
15:34 kados and I need to get Product into a TMPL_LOOP
15:33 kados                '0553380958','0380977427', etc.
15:33 kados                [{'SimilarProducts' => {'Product' => [
15:33 kados I have a data structure like this: $VAR1 = {'Details' =>
15:33 kados how about chris?
15:28 kados or paul? :-)
15:28 kados pauldiner around?
13:26 paul  sorry.
13:26 paul  oups..
13:22 kados I've got bigger probs atm ... like references to hashes to arrays :-)
13:22 kados right ...
13:22 owen  The last part of that url is the Amazon Associates id
13:22 kados the link isn't quite there yet ...
13:22 kados no i haven't done that yet
13:21 kados oops I misread
13:21 kados except that I'm pulling stuff out in xml
13:21 kados yep ... that's actually already done ...
13:21 owen  http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0415161347/thelittleczechpr
13:21 owen  Here's an example from my site:
13:20 owen  There's a specific format for Amazon associates links, by the way, if we're going to be setting that up for the library.
13:18 kados yep ...
13:17 kados but it should be by default
13:17 kados paul when I've finished the rest of the variables I will MAKE it amazon.fr compatible ;-)
13:17 paul  do you know if such a package is amazon.fr compatible ?
13:17 kados the image is no-longer served up by our server
13:16 kados yea list price, image, description, and the link to the amazon detail page for that item (it's in two places, the image links there and the Amazon link too)
13:15 owen  So what part of it is Amazon?  The list price, obviously, and what, all of the description information?
13:15 kados I was going to work on that this morning ...
13:15 kados I've still got a few features to add (like book reviews)
13:14 kados all that amazon stuff is generated on-the-fly ...
13:14 kados http://66.213.78.101/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?bib=16595
13:13 kados yep
13:13 owen  So that's why 'css' looks like npl, and css.old has the the css templates?
13:13 kados did you overwrite them this morning?
13:13 kados erp ... no actually I had replaced the css templates with the npl templates temporarily
13:12 owen  I was just looking at the css templates in Internet Explorer, so I probably didn't see what you were doing--you were using the npl templates?
13:12 kados hmmm
13:12 kados check out the details page
13:12 kados have you done any searches lately?
13:11 kados I wrote an amazon module Amazon.pm
13:11 kados no but I was working on 101 quite a bit yesterday
13:11 owen  Did you do an update this morning, joshua?
13:11 kados hi paul
13:11 paul  hi kados
13:11 owen  Hi
13:10 kados hey owen
12:43 owen  So far it looks pretty good.
12:43 owen  I'm looking at the OPAC in Internet Explorer today.  I'll be filing some bugs for me to look at later.
12:32 owen  Congratulations on your latest release!
12:32 owen  hi paul
12:32 paul  g'morning owen
