11:34 hdl   kados ???
11:34 kados yo
11:34 hdl   Have you solved you pb ?
11:34 kados not yet
11:35 kados didn't get a chance to test with default templates yet
11:35 kados could do that today since it's an american holiday
11:35 hdl   Do you have a koha logo in vector format ?
11:35 kados vector format?
11:35 hdl   svg or else.
11:35 kados hmm ... don't think so
11:36 kados but I think rach posted it somewhere
11:36 hdl   opposed to bitmap.
11:36 hdl   Rach must be sleeping.*
11:36 kados yep :-)
11:36 hdl   Is there a way to know where before tonight 16h ?
11:37 hdl   half an hour ?
11:39 kados hmm ...
11:39 kados have you tried google images? :-)
11:41 kados hmm, serials seem to work with default templates
11:42 kados so now I get to bug owen :-)
11:43 kados hdl: I'm still a bit confused ... why must I select 1/month even if there are only 10 issues per year?
11:43 kados hdl: and what does 'beginning date' mean?
11:43 kados hdl: can I recieve issues for subscriptions that started many months ago?
11:43 hdl   date of begining of subscription and count.
11:44 hdl   You guessed baddly right.
11:44 kados hdl: ?
11:44 hdl   Yes.
11:45 kados if I specify beginning date as 11/01/2004 I still only see one issue to recieve
11:45 kados I don't understand your answers :-)
11:46 hdl   You always see the next issue to be received and not as many as should have been received.
11:46 kados so there is no way to describe previous issues?
11:47 hdl   What do you mean ???
11:47 kados suppose I have a subscription that I started in 2004
11:47 kados then I switch to Koha
11:48 kados and I want to keep track of my subscription in Koha
11:48 kados there are several issues I'm still missing, say the Jan and Feb issues
11:48 kados how do I set that up ?
11:49 kados also, suppose there are 10 issues per year, but not necessary one per month ... do I need to specify 1/month? or how should I specify it?

18:13 oday  howdy
18:14 oday  chris and kados
18:15 oday  anyone here..
18:15 kados oday: hey there
18:15 oday  hello sorry was other system was acting up
18:15 kados no prob
18:16 oday  since i am going to run this under windows
18:16 oday  what are the best specs for the server?
18:16 kados um ... well dunno
18:16 kados I don't user windows :-)
18:17 kados also don't support windows kohas
18:17 kados not sure there is any commerical support available for kohawin32
18:17 chris id rate ram more important than cpu clock speed
18:18 chris and id do that for any web application
18:18 chris but thats about the limit of what i know for windows
18:18 oday  so a 1gig is enough?
18:18 kados oday: how many records you got?
18:18 chris how many books? at a guess?
18:18 chris  < 20,000 ?
18:18 oday  way less
18:18 oday  i dont think our library can handle that
18:18 kados 1 gig's fine then I'd say
18:18 chris yep
18:19 oday  maybe 2000 books by the year 2010
18:19 oday  lol - i know its sad
18:19 chris how many students?
18:19 oday  172
18:19 chris that'd be fine
18:19 oday  suitable to become a school of 300
18:20 oday  if i only want access to the library on the local level
18:20 oday  i dont need to port forward, corect?
18:21 chris shouldnt need to no
18:22 oday  do you a software by the name of xampp?
18:23 oday  http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html
18:23 chris hmm
18:24 kados bbiab
18:24 oday  i highly recommend your staff to integrate xampp with your software
18:24 oday  its makes seems so much easier
18:25 oday  when xampp install apache, mysql,php,openssl all in package
18:25 chris right
18:25 chris does it install perl?
18:26 oday  here is the thing i realy dont know
18:26 chris :)
18:26 oday  on the site it says 'With the new Apache 2.0.55, we build a new Perl-Addon for XAMPP 1.5.0 also.'
18:26 chris right
18:27 chris sounds like mod_perl
18:27 chris we dont really develop for windows, or have the skills to
18:27 chris but rob has ported koha to windows (he runs the koha on windows site)
18:28 chris it might be worth asking about xampp on the koha-win32 list
18:28 chris http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=16466
18:29 chris brb, gotta get coffee
18:30 oday  how can add urself
18:30 oday  i cant see it anywhere
18:32 oday  found it nevermind
18:33 chris back
18:33 chris so its thanksgiving day today for you isnt it oday?
18:34 oday  yes it is
18:35 oday  i personally dont beleive in it but yes many continue this tradition
18:36 chris i liked it when i was visiting .. but then i just liked eating a lot of food and watching a football game :-)
18:37 chris even though i still dont fully understand the rules :)
18:37 oday  hahaha this is what i mean
18:37 oday  my religion teaches me to be thankful everyday
18:37 oday  not only on that day
18:37 chris right
18:38 oday  when i upload the MARC database
18:39 oday  does it have to be from the host's pc?
18:39 chris i think so
18:39 chris if you want to use the bulkmarcimport.pl script then yes it will be
20:37 oday  kados, hey there..sory to bother, but is there a newbie guide to koha?
20:40 oday  anyone care to share?
20:42 russ  hi oday - you looking for an install and setup  guide or a how to use it guide?
20:43 russ  have you checked out www.kohadocs.org ?
20:46 oday  yes i have went there already
20:46 oday  but chris earlier showed me a newbie guide
20:48 russ  and you need that link again?
20:49 russ  something i find useful are the logs for this channel
20:51 oday  yes please i need that link
20:52 russ  ok 2 secs
20:52 russ  i thought i made a link to logbot on this page http://www.koha.org/community/irc.html
20:53 russ  but it obviously not
20:53 oday  logbot
20:53 oday  ahh
20:53 chris www.koha.org/irc/ will get you to the logs
20:54 chris the newbie guide is on the kohadocs.org site oday
20:55 oday  thanks chris
20:55 oday  i got it
20:55 oday  and you to russ
20:58 oday  one thing
20:58 oday  does koha print when books are due for example
20:58 oday  or a receipt in general?
20:59 rach  I suspect the answer is "that depends"
21:00 oday  elaborate please
21:01 rach  there isn't a nice interface to setup what goes to the printer yet in Koha, so *I think* that the ones that we do will be printing out what books you've taken out, and when they are due - but I'm not sure wether that is what is generally printed
21:02 rach  so for the libraries katipo works with, I can confidently say "yes", but I know that we probably go and do setup for those sorts of thing per library
21:02 rach  so I'm not sure "out of the box" what you get
21:03 rach  can you refine your question?
21:03 rach  for whom are you wanting to know if koha prints when books are due? for the borrower at the issues desk?
21:04 rach  for the librarian as an overdues list?
21:04 oday  the first
21:04 oday  for the person that checks out the book
21:04 rach  how much tech clue can I assume you have?
21:06 oday  well i am computer literate
21:06 rach  Yes: the libraries that we (Katipo) work with have slip printers at the issues desk, and koha automatically prints out a slip for the borrower
21:07 rach  BUT - what I don't know is wether that is a default setting in Koha when you install it - or wether you need to do something behind the scenes to get it going
21:08 rach  so I'm sure that the scripts to do it are in Koha, but I believe there is a bit of sorting out print cues etc to make it happen, and it may be that you need to use a particular set of templates and other settings to make it work
21:09 rach  so: functionatlity is in there, but may not be "obvious" if you're not able to look behind the scenes
21:11 rach  OR it may just work for you if you set up your network printing properly
21:18 oday  okay i am satisfied with the answer
21:18 oday  when i get to install it then i can go to details like htis
21:18 oday  *this
21:20 rach  well yep - so it's a bit of a hard one to answer, I would think just a straight "yes" but just not quite sure
21:22 oday  i would want to test it out by installing it on my site
21:22 oday  but i dont know if godaddy.com has perl installed
21:26 oday  ^godaddy.com is my host
05:23 paul  hello world
05:32 rach  hi paul
05:32 paul  hello rachel.
05:33 paul  (answering an RFP today)
05:33 rach  very good
05:33 paul  (for CNRS archeology network)
05:34 rach  so a private library?
05:34 paul  don't you know what is CNRS ?
05:35 paul  it's the public research here in France
05:35 paul  (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique)
05:35 paul  so not really private ;-)
05:35 rach  ah very cool
05:36 paul  (in France, you must know that except for some religious libraries, libraries are public 99%)
05:36 rach  really - you must have corporate libraries as well though?
05:36 rach  so companies who have their own library?
05:36 paul  right. but we usually don't call that libraries.
05:36 rach  ah a very good job to get that one then
05:36 paul  we call that "centres de documentation"
05:37 rach  ahh, a much more precise language :-)
05:37 rach  English can be so lazy
05:39 rach  that would be a great job to get
