Time Nick Message 13:33 owen paul, are you around? 13:33 paul yep 13:33 owen It looks like our opac searches for isbns aren't working 13:33 owen http://66.213.78.101/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?op=do_search&marclist=biblioitems.isbn&and_or=and&operator==&value=1565922840 13:34 owen That isbn was cut and pasted from this record: http://66.213.78.101/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?bib=99294 13:35 paul in the MARC part of the biblio, there is : 13:35 paul 1565922840 (pa.) 13:35 paul that's why a = don't work 13:35 paul try a "start" 13:35 paul ;-) 13:36 paul http://66.213.78.101/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?op=do_search&marclist=biblioitems.isbn&and_or=and&operator=start&value=1565922840 13:36 paul works fine. 13:36 owen Hmm... But isn't it searching biblioitems.isbn rather than the MARC table? 13:36 paul no 13:36 paul search marc is searching in MARC tables. 13:37 paul it translate biblioitems.isbn into 010$a 13:37 owen Did you say yesterday that you could also specify the tag number instead of saying "biblioitems.isbn"? 13:37 paul (note that the start is usually faster than contain, and as fast as =) 13:37 paul yes. 13:37 paul say 010a 13:38 paul 020a sorry 13:38 paul http://66.213.78.101/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?op=do_search&marclist=020a&and_or=and&operator=start&value=1565922840 13:39 owen Okay, thanks. 13:39 paul please 13:39 owen Joshua's Amazon work is looking good--did you see the book covers in the search results? Pretty cool. 13:41 owen I wonder if it's something like that that is causing my barcode searches to fail in the intranet... 13:42 owen operator=contains should work fine 13:42 paul but it's slower. 13:42 owen We could probably even change that to '=' since barcodes are specific 13:42 paul do you really plan to add pictures of books to result LIST ? 13:43 paul that would query really a lot amazon.com no ? 13:43 owen I don't know...Joshua's just trying things out at this point. I don't know if he's cacheing images or anything. 13:43 paul i hope for amazon.com ;-) 13:43 owen You're right, though, it could be a lot of transfers. 13:44 paul the "search inside" on opac-detail is joshua work ? 13:44 paul because the image in opac-detail is not exactly the amazon.com image 13:45 owen I think that for items in Amazon for which they offer the 'search inside' feature they also provide an alternate 'search inside' graphic. 13:47 owen paul, I'm trying the barcode search in the intranet, and I can't get it to work with 'contains'. It only works if I change it to '=' or 'start' 13:48 paul and why is it a problem for you ? 13:49 owen If it doesn't work for us using the default template, then it might not work for others. 13:50 paul enter a bugzilla, and i'll look at it. 13:52 owen http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=853 13:52 paul thanks 13:54 paul i must leave. 15:57 owen hi tim 15:57 tim hi owen 15:59 tim I finally got that server to stop complaining to me yesterday. 15:59 tim Thanks to you and Chris 16:00 owen Good. 2.2 is really a major step forward. 16:11 tim I installed 2.0.2. Should I try upgrading it? 16:17 owen I can't give you advice on how well upgrades work, but I can tell you that 2.2 works really well. 16:17 owen Its searching capabilities are vastly superior. 16:23 tim I don't have any data in this one yet, so I won't be risking that. 16:26 tim Yeah. That could be a big help for us people who don't know what we're doing. 16:33 owen the problem with providing patron data is privacy, of course, otherwise we could simply export a section of our database and make it available 16:33 owen But the bibliographic data should be pretty easy to come by. 16:33 owen i guess you'd also have to make sure the installation had the same MARC configuration as well 16:35 tim I've gotten pretty far with te patron importing. I'm just messing up on the marc mapping. 16:36 tim I'd probably do better if I could figure out how to modify the import script to make some changes for me. 16:39 tim I just started a perl class yesterday to help me with that. 16:40 tim benn taking a class on SQL for about a month. 16:41 tim I learned a lot on my own, but need the extra help to get things done sooner. 16:50 owen Gotta reboot :( 16:54 tim Trying to install Net::LDAP 16:54 tim Writing Makefile for Net::LDAP 16:54 tim make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. 16:54 tim /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK 16:55 tim Figured I'd try 2.2RC4
