11:58 shaun   file uploads are most of the problem ;). I want it to be fully integrated with the koha members section
11:49 owen    shaun, if you handled your own file uploads (through a separate web application), all it would take would be a minor change to the template to include the images
11:43 paul    nope, hélas...
11:43 shaun   got any ideas how the above could be achieved?
11:43 paul    yep
11:42 shaun   paul around?
11:39 owen    ...not that that helps ;)
11:38 owen    shaun, I think the Argentinians did something like that :)
11:01 shaun   any opinions? this needs to be in (or at least is wanted in) koha in schools, afaik - there is a big problem of faking
10:58 shaun   *thinking it could be quite easy to achieve: use the borrower number as a template variable, and then insert as image from /usr/local/koha/intranet/usrimages/00377221.jpg (card number 00377221) - the pics could be made to a particular size using gd (again, i am a php person - not sure how this works)
10:55 shaun   i have thought of something that a school would need: a thumbnail picture on the borrower's record - this prevents (to some extent) using somebody else's card to get a resource
10:52 shaun   ok
10:49 paul    shaun : write this on mailing list (& that's a good idea according to me)
10:35 shaun   kados: just read through the koha24rmnotes document in the wiki - i would like to stand up for the interface designer post as well as owen, with my experience in web and interface design. I would like to maintain the default templates and make them functional, accessible, slick and standards-compliant, and I think Owen is doing a good job of this on the NPL templates.
10:24 owen    Thanks paul.  That answers our question...but it does mean the serials module isn't very useful to us :)
10:20 paul    (otherwise I could add it very very easily)
10:20 paul    should work
10:20 paul    not in css, but you may add the field to your templates.
10:19 owen    Does the OPAC show the information about received issues?
10:17 paul    the opac note is just to summarize the history for the borrower.
10:17 paul    you're right, owen.
10:17 hdl     owen : why not puutting the results of number calculated in 995$u ?
10:16 owen    The opac note is a single field relating to the subscription, so  there's no way to say item X, barcode Y is Vol. 4 Num. 2 (march 1 2003)
10:15 paul    (not sure to understand this question)
10:14 owen    ..because there's no way to indicate the vol/num/date on an individual item
10:14 paul    it depends on what you put in "opac note".
10:14 owen    That's possible, but then people can't search by issue date
10:14 paul    That would be too much if you have a subscription in each branch !
10:13 paul    So you would have 12 items for each title.
10:13 owen    Should individual issues show up in the OPAC?
10:13 owen    Most branches remove old issues after a year (for monthlies)
10:13 paul    (don't you remove old issues ?)
10:12 paul    so, bad new, there's no way to do it automatically for instance.
10:12 paul    (that's what I suspected ;-) )
10:11 owen    you do now :-)
10:11 paul    not a bug, maybe a lack (altough i don't know a library issuing all it's issues)
10:11 owen    that's our situation
10:11 paul    for this last situation, there's nothing yet in Koha to create automatically the item for each issue.
10:10 paul    * you issue every issue => you need one item for each issue.
10:10 paul    * you issue the last (or only some of the last) issues => you need a fixed number of items.
10:10 paul    * you don't issue serials => you don't need items.
10:09 paul    3 possibilities :
10:09 paul    no.
10:08 owen    Is there not a process for attaching an item record for new issues?
10:08 owen    We're all here talking about serials
10:08 paul    yep owen
10:08 owen    paul, are you around?

08:47 kados   wiki.liblime.com
08:47 kados   take a look at another proposal I made
08:47 paul    this afternoon for you is too late for me ;-)
08:47 kados   maybe this afternoon ...
08:47 paul    when do you plan to come back ?
08:47 paul    i wanted to speak of marc_words again
08:46 kados   what's up?
08:45 kados   yep
08:45 paul    kados/joshua are you around here ?
04:54 hdl     Non °(
04:54 paul    dans la bibliothèque je veux dire
04:54 paul    il y a quelqu'un quand même ? (hdl)
04:54 paul    bon, vraiment pas cool.
04:54 paul    en plus j'ai pas de copie récente de leur base...
04:52 paul    a ben zut alors !!!
04:52 hdl     paul_away: pas de bibliothécaire à la BDDC avant Lundi AM. :(
04:27 Sylvain je sais pas si t'es la paul mais ce manuel complet koha m'a l'air bien sympathique ..
03:44 Sylvain hi
14:44 kados   crazy!
14:43 kados   (I think it has to be at least three right-floated elements and the width has to be within 3 px of the right hand edge)
14:43 owen    Oh, I've heard of that!
14:43 kados   take the comments out and it's fine
14:43 kados   IE can't handle that
14:43 kados   turns out it was HTML comments within right-floated elements
14:43 owen    yeah, did you figure that one out?
14:42 kados   remember that 'mirroring' problem I asked you about a couple months back?
14:42 owen    Yeah, it's been a while since I set up these pages
14:42 kados   and it takes forevver to find stuff
14:42 kados   it's hard to remember all the details when you don't do it every day
14:41 kados   it's really a bug in IE5 Mac ... but it's a convenient one ;-)
14:41 kados   for some reason no other browser can parse that particular syntax
14:36 owen    Because of the quotes?
14:34 kados   only ie5mac can read this
14:33 kados   </style>
14:33 kados   @import("/css/ie5mac.css");
14:33 kados   <style type="text/css">
14:33 kados   in your <head>
14:33 kados   here's the ie5mac trick:
14:23 kados   looks great in FF
