11:59 kados it uses biblionumber
11:59 kados weird
11:58 owen The 'Edit Items' button works fine for me from detail.tmpl. This is on 101 with fresh CVS from this morning.
11:58 kados I'm just wondering how this one slipped past ... ie, whether owen can pass in biblionumber to get it working
11:58 tim In line 41
11:58 tim Nope. I have to change biblionumber to bibid to get it to work.
11:57 kados right
11:57 tim select * from marc_biblio where bibid=100260 shows biblionumber=16285
11:57 kados on your box you can pass in biblionumber and it works?
11:57 kados so owen ...
11:57 kados that seems to have done it
11:56 tim That will work kados
11:56 tim I just checked with one. It's passing 16258 when it should be passing 100260.
11:56 kados so what happens if we chage that to bibid
11:56 kados <form action="acqui.simple/additem.pl" method="get" /><input type="hidden" name="bibid" value="<!-- TMPL_VAR name="biblionumber"-->" /><input type="submit" class="submit" value="Edit Items" /></form>
11:56 kados huh, here's the template:
11:55 tim It's passing biblionumber in place of the bibid
11:55 kados it's probably the itemnum
11:54 kados right
11:54 tim It's passing "bibid" but the number isn't the bibid.
11:54 kados <div id="controls"><form action="/cgi-bin/koha/acqui.simple/addbiblio.pl" method="get"><input type="hidden" name="oldbiblionumber" value="16607" /><input type="submit" class="submit" value="Edit MARC" /></form> <form action="/cgi-bin/koha/acqui.simple/additem.pl" method="get"><input type="hidden" name="bibid" value="100609" /><input type="submit" class="submit" value="Edit Items" /></form> <form name="duplicate"><h4>Duplicate</h4> using <select name="Frameworks" size
11:53 kados lemme find that form
11:53 kados and edit items works fine from MARCdetail
11:53 owen "<input type="hidden" name="bibid" value="16607" />"
11:53 owen ...based on what kados pasted above.
11:53 owen It /is/ passing bibid
11:52 kados my $bibid = $input->param('bibid');
11:52 kados yea, additem.pl seems to want bibid
11:51 kados lemme check the script
11:51 kados hmmm
11:51 tim Yup. I was thinking the biblionumber should be changed to bibid because that's how it works from MARCdetail
11:51 kados looks like Edit Items doesn't though
11:51 kados Edit Record works fine
11:50 tim Yup. I added the </form> at the end of line 41
11:50 kados I assume it's that 'Edit Record' button that's causing trouble
11:50 kados <form action="/cgi-bin/koha/acqui.simple/addbiblio.pl" method="get"><input type="hidden" name="op" value="delete" /><input type="hidden" name="bibid" value="100609" /><input type="submit" class="cancel" value="Delete Record" onclick="confirm_deletion(); return false;" /></form>
11:50 kados <form action="acqui.simple/additem.pl" method="get" /><input type="hidden" name="bibid" value="16607" /><input type="submit" class="submit" value="Edit Items" /></form>
11:50 kados <form action="acqui.simple/addbiblio.pl" method="get"><input type="hidden" name="oldbiblionumber" value="16607" /><input type="hidden" name="op" value="duplicate" /><input type="submit" class="submit" value="Duplicate Record" /></form>
11:50 kados <form action="acqui.simple/addbiblio.pl" method="get"><input type="hidden" name="oldbiblionumber" value="16607" /><input type="submit" class="submit" value="Edit Record" /></form>
11:50 kados when I view source on the detail page I see:
11:49 kados tim: have you changed detail.tmpl recently?
11:47 kados bizarre even :-)
11:46 kados tim: that's truly bizzar
11:46 kados we're using it for our newsletter too
11:46 tim owen says that it's the way it should be and he'd know a whole lot more about it than I do. But for some reason it doesn't work for me without the change.
11:46 shedges yep -- saved the day!
11:45 kados woo hoo, wordpress
11:45 shedges put it in your Live Bookmarks!
11:45 shedges www.oplin.org/4cast/index.php
11:44 owen OPLIN 4cast?
11:44 kados cool
11:44 shedges kados: nope, just my idea
11:44 kados interesting
11:44 tim I'm just wondering if that was the right thing to do.
11:44 tim I noticed that from MARCdetail, it uses bibid, so when I changed it in detail, it seemed to work.
11:43 kados shedges: yea, that your work?
11:43 shedges kados: busy -- did you see the OPLIN 4cast?
11:43 kados until we resolve whatever the bug is
11:42 kados tim: if they work from MARCdetail I'd say that's a good temporary workaround
11:42 shedges hey kados
11:42 kados shedges: how are things in the big city?
11:42 tim Yeah. Edit Items doesn't work from detail.
11:42 tim The cataloger's gone for a while, so I can't ask her if it was working before.
11:42 kados hey shedges
11:42 kados tim: so is it that you can do everything from MARCdetail but not everything from detail?
11:41 tim Could be. It was jut brought to my attention when I got here today.
11:41 tim I think the main problem is I'm terrible at explaining what's going on.
11:41 kados tim: this was working a few days ago right?
11:40 kados tim: so what's going on?
11:40 tim it's taking me to the page, but not with the right info. Did you check it on our system to see what I'm talking about?
11:39 owen Honestly I don't know what is going wrong. Even without the closing form tag the form works fine for me. It still takes me to the right screen
11:37 tim I mean it doesn't add any items to the record.
11:35 tim It also doesn't add any records when I try to add it.
11:35 tim Like it does when you edit items after editing marc?
11:34 tim Isn't it supposed to show the title and record number at the top and item info for the items that are already in the record?
11:31 tim Unless I change biblionumber to bibid
11:30 tim Mine comes up with "Items for (Record#)" at the top and no item information for the original item.
11:24 owen i.e. the form field /value/
11:24 owen The form field /name/ is bibid. It's just the template variable that is named biblionumber
11:23 owen When I click the 'Edit Items' button in the corrected version, the URL it sends me to is '/cgi-bin/koha/acqui.simple/additem.pl?bibid=16595'
11:22 tim Was the bibid thing right or am I missing something?
11:21 owen I've committed the corrected version
11:21 tim Because edit items didn't work from detail
11:20 tim What I was trying to do was make it work the same as when you click on Save Bibliographic Record and go to Items in the marc edit screen.
11:19 tim That's what I had to change to get it so the Edit Items button worked in details.pl?bib=nnnnn
11:18 tim When I click on edit items, I don't get any item information, but if I go to edit items from the edit records screen, I get the information.
11:18 owen I think the form tag is the only problem
11:17 tim Yeah.
11:17 owen But still missing the form tag right?
11:16 tim I wouldn't get any item info unless I changed it to bibid
11:15 tim Yeah
11:14 owen But I think the biblionumber thing is okay. You're talking about line 41 still right?
11:10 tim Double check my work of course.
11:10 tim and the TMPL_VAR name="biblionumber" should be "bibid"
11:09 tim line 41 of catalogue/detail.tmpl needs </form> at the end.
11:09 owen What's the scoop?
11:08 tim I checked and it's in the NPL template too.
11:08 tim Hey kados and owen. I think I found a bug in one of our templates.
10:50 kados man, that's strange
10:50 kados ahh
10:50 owen Only with HEAD
10:50 owen Got it
10:50 kados you can just run that manually in the sql monitor on whatever machine you're working on (101 still having auth probs?)
10:49 kados sql sent
10:49 kados then you print a pdf
10:49 kados then you do a preview
10:49 kados then you add items
10:49 kados first you pick the type
10:49 kados yep
10:48 owen Are the menu options across the top the steps in the process? (1. label options, 2. add labels, 3. web preview, 4. generate pdf) ?
10:47 kados yea ... lemme get you the sql you'll need, should be pretty painless
10:46 owen I was just about to ask if it required updatedatabase
10:46 kados which would be needed before you could test it on your box
10:46 kados looks like mason didn't commit the updatedatabase stuff
10:46 kados yea, template could use some tinkering
10:45 kados it adds the ability to print barcodes and spine labels simaltaneously
10:45 kados it replaces it
10:44 owen How does it relate to the old barcode generator?
10:44 owen Then I'm talking to the right guy :)
10:43 kados owen: well, I sponsored it :-)
10:36 owen kados: what do you know about the new barcode and label printing stuff?
10:01 owen For a perfect example look at the problem of deleting a duplicate reserve
09:15 pierrick (j'ai eu ma première voiture pendant ma première année de boulot)
09:15 ToinS eh oui... :)
09:15 pierrick c'est vrai que tu es étudiant
09:15 ToinS a priori non
09:15 pierrick et tu n'as pas de voiture?
09:14 ToinS j'habite marseille... donc autant en profiter
09:14 pierrick cool :-)
09:14 ToinS oui !
09:14 pierrick ?
09:14 pierrick tu seras avec nous pour la semaine des développeurs (8 au 12 mai)
09:11 ToinS je ne sais pas... je n'ai pas eu a me poser cette question.
09:10 pierrick en XUL, tu as un widget pour choisir une date dans un joli calendrier?
09:09 ToinS en html tout est très vite limité
09:09 pierrick (là je suis en train de reprendre complètement l'interface des budgets, et le HTML impose de nombreuses lignes de code :-/)
09:09 ToinS c'est facile et pratique !
09:09 pierrick par rapport aux interfaces HTML?
09:09 pierrick comment tu trouves ça de construire des interfaces en XUL ?
09:09 ToinS je suis debutant la dessus aussi...
09:08 pierrick OK, bon, il faut que je lise mon bookin sur XUL, avant la KohaCon, de préférence
09:08 ToinS disons que je fais du XUL mais que je me sers de xmlHTTPrequest
09:08 pierrick tu rafraichis tes listes via des RDF qui sont regénérés par un appel de webservice SOAP ou XMLRPC, c'est ça?
09:07 pierrick tu fais du XUL alors, pas de l'AJAX
09:06 pierrick L'intérêt de XUL était selon mes connaissances limitées (pour le moment) de ne pas utiliser des technologies instables comme AJAX
09:06 ToinS tous les webservices en AJAX
09:06 ToinS l'interface est en XUL
09:06 pierrick ???
09:06 ToinS XUL + AJAX
09:06 pierrick tu fais ça en XUL finalement ?
09:06 ToinS je reprends bcp de chose dejà faite.
09:05 ToinS euh... oui...
09:05 pierrick ?
09:05 pierrick tu t'en sors avec le MARC editor
09:01 ToinS salut !
08:58 pierrick salut Antoine
04:00 mason ta, thanks for chatting
03:28 pierrick ask help if you need it, I will be pleased to give some
03:27 pierrick :-)
03:27 mason i am still learning cvs
03:27 mason s/commits/commited
03:27 pierrick OK :-) thank you mason
03:26 mason thanks, i will fix this by removing my commits files from HEAD and commiting some new ones in prog
03:24 pierrick yes mason, the only official template currently on HEAD is "prog"
03:24 mason new features should use the PROG templates?
03:23 mason i meant to commit them to rel_2_2
03:23 mason it was a mistake
03:22 mason :)
03:22 mason because i am stupid
03:20 pierrick why do you commit a new feature on HEAD in "npl" template?
03:19 pierrick hi mason
03:02 mason i am here
03:02 mason hiya pierrick
02:14 pierrick is mason here?
02:14 pierrick hello #koha
01:20 Genji Greetings all.
23:18 thd kados: My thinking cap does work very well when I am fully rested, however, it had gone past the completely non-functional state for performing even the most trivial task by the previous night :)
23:16 kados I know what you mean :-)
23:16 thd kados: I really needed the sleep for my thinking cap to work again :)
23:15 thd kados: no problem. sorry, that I was not awake yet in mid-afternoon.
23:15 kados I'm a little tied up at the moment
23:14 thd kados: I was hoping that you could show me an example for the pseudo code that I had posted.
23:13 kados the POD docs are better than anything I could show you
23:13 kados thd: some good stuff there
23:13 kados thd: http://search.cpan.org/dist/MARC-Record/
23:12 thd kados: I could learn it properly but I can manage with some example code within the time constraint without pouring over examples embedded in Koha and elsewhere :)
23:10 thd kados: I just need some example code for MARC::Record.
23:10 thd kados: I have plenty of experience working with files like this. I am short on experience with MARC::Record because it did not exist when I was writing applications for working with MARC records.
23:09 kados so long as I get the MARC records tonight or tomorrow so I have a couple of days to load them in
23:09 kados ok ... sounds good
23:08 thd kados: It may not be the best possible solution but I think it will work just fine for now and if it does not we still have all the MARC records in a file.
23:07 thd kados: or it does, given that I am fully awake :)
23:06 thd kados: why, It seems very simple for me?
23:06 kados if you don't mind my saying so, this sounds like a nightmare :-)
23:05 thd kados: If processing the delimited file failed within the time constraint then we still have the MARC records only file as a failsafe.
23:04 thd s/records/MARC records/
23:03 thd kados: However, the delimited file contains the records already.
23:03 thd kados: there is no need to match the delimited file created by PHP with the MARC record only file created by PHP but if you really wanted to they would have the first record in the MARC only file would match the first row in the delimited file etc.
22:59 thd kados: the MARC records are all embedded in the delimited file as one column. There is an extra file with only MARC records just in case of badness.
22:58 kados how does it know which array goes with which marc file?
22:58 kados so the second perl script reads the array and the marc file?
22:57 thd kados: the array is created in PHP and then written as a delimited file then recreated in Perl when the delimited file is read with a second Perl script.
22:56 kados where is the array>
22:56 thd kados: There is another file written by PHP with only the captured records as a fail safe.
22:55 thd kados: the delimited file includes the captured MARC record.
22:54 thd kados: Perl calls PHP. PHP writes to file. A new Perl script opens delimited file and updates record then writes to a new MARC only file.
22:54 kados how do you plan to match the record and the array? is there a unique identifier?
22:53 kados you'll have to open both files and try to merge the data
22:53 kados that's gonna be challanging then
22:53 kados :-)
22:52 thd kados: the files except the log files are written by PHP currently and through Thursday :)
22:51 thd kados: there will be a single file with all the records and a delimited record file with the records and more information to be added to the records
22:51 kados it would make more sense in that case to handle the record modification on the fly in the perl and discard the array
22:50 kados are you calling the php script from perl?
22:50 thd kados: redundancy
22:50 thd kados: the array will be written to file
22:50 kados ?
22:49 thd kados: they will be in a single file and in an array
22:48 kados or are they in separate files?
22:48 kados thd: are all your MARC records in a single file?
22:42 thd kados: are you still there?
22:41 thd s/\}if/if/
22:40 thd kados: show me some example code to do that and save the record
22:40 thd }
22:40 thd $952k = join(' ', $852h, $852i, $copylabel);
22:40 thd } elsif ($852h && $852i) {
22:40 thd }
22:40 thd $952k = join(' ', $090a, $090b, $copylabel);
22:40 thd } elsif ($090a && $090b) {
22:40 thd $952k = join(' ', $050a, $050b, $copylabel);
22:40 thd }if ($050a && $050b) {
22:40 thd }
22:40 thd $copylabel = 'c.' . $952t;
22:40 thd if (scalar(@952t) > 1 && $952t > 1) {
22:40 thd my $copylabel;
22:40 thd kados: do you have some MARC::Record code for the following equivalent:
22:01 kados ok
21:57 thd kados: I had already added more Canadian targets. They are at least close enough for some records.
21:56 thd kados: there is a union catalogue for Alaska but Z39.50 access requires an OCLC account.
21:52 kados too bad
21:47 thd kados: last night I added the University of Alaska, Fairbanks Z39.50 server to my targets, but it times out every time. Many of the best targets of all timeout from lack of maintenance or excessive load.
21:44 kados :-)
21:40 thd kados: I had tooo much sleep to recover earlier today
21:40 thd kados: yes, I am here
21:32 kados thd: are you around?
16:49 kados be back soon
16:49 kados but right now I'm gonna head out for a bit
16:48 kados I need to give that some thought
16:48 kados with a hidden input or something
16:48 kados maybe it could be done behind the scenes
16:48 kados it should fill the search with the correct values for an authority search
16:47 kados really, that dictionary search should work much differently IMO
16:47 kados thanks!
16:46 kados ahh, yes, working now
16:45 owen opac-search.tmpl as well
16:44 kados owen: anything to update asside from opac-dinctionary.tmpl?
16:44 kados owen: hmmm, doesn't seem to work
16:41 kados owen: will do
16:40 owen kados: give the updated dictionary popup a try when you get a chance and let me know if you run into any problems.
16:34 chris is there such a thing as too many cookies?
16:32 kados hehe yea, probably :-)
16:32 owen Too many cookies?
16:32 kados I need a nap
16:32 kados morning chris
16:31 kados hehe yea
16:30 chris starts as something like is your opac discoverable by google
16:30 chris it always degenerates into that
16:29 owen :) Is it the libraries-are-better-than-google argument?
16:29 chris the web4lib mailing list, the only threads that get any traction are the ones arguing about google
16:28 owen ?
16:25 chris those web4lib guys love to talk about google
16:16 owen Yeah.... though I don't know why it changed that aspect of its behavior when I changed the javascript.
16:13 owen Wait... maybe you're right.
16:13 kados ahh
16:13 owen It's the string that Javascript is sending back to the parent window from the dictionary popup
16:13 kados ESCAPE HTML or something
16:13 kados I remember seeing that in there
16:13 kados isn't that in the template var?
16:13 kados huh
16:03 owen "Butterflies%20in%20literature" instead of "Butterflies in literature"
16:01 owen Hmm... still some bugs to work out I see... the headings are getting pasted in as URL-encoded for some reason...
15:55 owen That's the problem with working in Chauncey... If I get a snack attack and I didn't come prepared I'm screwed.
15:54 kados mmmm ... cookie :-)
15:50 kados brb
15:50 kados cool
15:50 owen I re-wrote it to reference field names instead of numbers, and I'm testing it now.
15:49 owen The javascript is writted to reference numbered form fields. The npl templates have the fields in a different order, so it wasn't working
15:49 kados heh
15:49 owen I felt like smacking myself when I realized what the problem was.
15:49 kados what was it?
15:49 kados yea?
15:48 owen I finally figured out that stupid error with the opac-dictionary
15:48 kados owen: what's up?
15:48 kados owen: yep
15:48 owen kados: are you around?
12:05 tim Our call numbers weren't showing on that page, but I remembered how kados said you got it working before, so I made the change.
12:04 owen Sure
12:04 tim Thanks again for the quick fix yesterday.
12:04 owen Yes
12:04 tim Is owen around?
