Time Nick Message
11:52 kados paul: is there a way to just translate the changes?
11:52 kados paul: I'm wondering what the process is for translation as things change
11:52 kados paul: got a sec?
11:38 owen Have a good evening, pierrick
11:37 pierrick I'm leaving office, read you tomorrow folks :-)
11:13 owen Yes, it seems to work fine now
10:58 kados owen: otherwise let me know
10:58 kados owen: if it works, commit it
10:58 kados my $renewaldate = DateCalc('today', $offset);
10:58 kados change that to:
10:58 kados my $renewaldate = DateCalc($warningdate, $offset);
10:58 kados line 130:
10:58 kados owen: open circulation.pl
10:56 kados ok, I'll fix that real quick
10:56 kados owen: ahh
10:56 owen The latter is what I would expect
10:56 owen Okay kados, I see one problem: when you renew a patron, it adds X number of years to the expiration date, rather than X number of years to /today's date/
10:52 kados hehe
10:50 paul ok
10:50 kados paul: it's just a button that NPL requested
10:50 kados paul: this is different ...
10:50 paul kados: they are (on head)
10:50 owen Okay, I'll try it out
10:50 kados owen: that is if they are working :-)
10:50 kados owen: they should be calculated based on the borrower's category rather than hardcoded to 30 days
10:49 owen kados: what's new with the expiration dates?
10:38 kados so the answer is that we move all CGI stuff to loops that the template designer / tranlator can deal wtih
10:37 kados owen: i think so :-)
10:37 owen ?
10:37 owen kados: are we getting any closer to an answer for you :)
10:30 paul (in fact, I had the idea & wrote the 1st version, but it was not with gettext & was really poor. ambrose almost rewrote everything)
10:29 paul pierrick: the translator tool has been written by ambrose C Li, a chinese guy. So he had most of the problem we could ever get ;-)
10:28 owen What about a /limited/ use of that? For cases of like the pagination bar?
10:27 pierrick for the pagination_bar for example
10:27 pierrick anyway, I would have liked to be able to reach localized strings from Perl :-)
10:26 pierrick so you moved complexity to the template translator :-)
10:25 paul "montre budgets (<!-- TMPL_VAR name="number" --> au total)
10:25 paul and the template compiler will generate :
10:24 paul montre budgets (%d au total)
10:24 paul that can be translated to :
10:24 paul Show %d budgets
10:24 pierrick kados, problems of singular/modal/plural is not what I was pointing and is a very difficult problem
10:24 paul it transforms Show <!-- TMPL_VAR NAME="number" --> budgets into
10:24 paul yes pierrick, but our gettext tool handle that !
10:24 pierrick kados, for some languages you have to translate and to change the template, because de the number of budgets have to be at the end of the string
10:23 kados pierrick: depending if there were 1 or more budgets?
10:23 kados pierrick: are you suggesting we could have 'budget' and 'budgets'?
10:23 kados hang on, I don't quite understand
10:23 owen And one of the reasons for rejecting it is the layer of complexity it puts on the process of creating templates
10:22 owen We've discussed the gettext option before
10:22 kados hehe
10:22 pierrick ;-)
10:22 pierrick kados, you're not linguist?
10:22 kados Show <!-- TMPL_VAR NAME="number" --> budgets
10:21 kados in the template you woudl ahve
10:21 pierrick with template only solution, this is not possible
10:21 pierrick kados, in a template
10:21 pierrick with Perl I would do sprintf(gettext('Show %d budgets'), scalar @budgets)
10:21 kados where?
10:20 pierrick how could I have "Show 34 budgets"?
10:20 pierrick concerning strings in templates, we create useless limitations
10:20 kados so a translator has to translate template + create a new PO file?
10:19 kados right
10:19 pierrick I invent nothing
10:19 pierrick (that's how all other softs works ;-)
10:19 kados interesting
10:19 pierrick I said we should have the possibility to do things like $template->param('text' => gettext('My string to find in a PO file'));
10:18 kados so what is your suggestion?
10:18 kados ok
10:18 pierrick I never said we should have strings in scripts
10:18 kados mod_perl means that everything is pre-compiled
10:17 kados pierrick: will have to modify cgi-bin and template dirs
10:17 kados pierrick: otherwise, it's going to be too hard to translate everything
10:17 paul and mod_perl must not be mandatory
10:17 kados pierrick: because for translators, it's best
10:17 paul pierrick : this is, unless you run mod-perl.
10:17 pierrick kados, why?
10:16 kados ideally, all strings should be in the template
10:16 pierrick paul, I understand why we don't translate on the fly (performances I suppose) but I'm not sure this is really relevant
10:16 kados ahh, right
10:16 paul (having strings translated in perl)
10:16 paul that's really poor I think.
10:16 kados paul: who's solution?
10:16 paul so, your solution means having 1 cgi-bin directory for each language
10:15 pierrick owen, you're right I didn't but if I read CGIitemtype examples, I wowuld be OK to use them
10:15 paul pierrick : the problem here is that we don't translate "on the fly".
10:15 owen His example was the 'selected' attribute in a select list
10:15 pierrick we should be allowed to do this with gettext in Perl
10:15 owen Actually, I don't think pierrick even addressed the CGIitemtype issue directly
10:15 pierrick IMO, a problem is that we can't use localized strings outside of templates
10:14 kados the length of the template strings?
10:13 kados well, what exactly is the problem?
10:13 owen If you're looping out <option> tags, there's no reason why you couldn't hand-code additional <option>'s above or below the loop
10:12 owen But is there a way to do it that wouldn't introduce that problem?
10:12 kados right
10:12 owen kados: your particular case demonstrated an additional argument against CGIitemtype: the introduction of unstranslatable strings
10:11 kados ie, more control in the template or not
10:11 kados while owen is arguing _against_ it
10:11 kados pierrick is arguing _for_ CGIitemtype
10:11 kados because if I understand correctly
10:10 kados what I mean is that the commit I made is related to the mail :-)
10:10 kados yes, it's still relevant
10:10 kados (about template mail)
10:09 kados many other things to absorb this year :-)
10:09 kados so probably doesn't affect either of us :-)
10:09 kados but it's with budget-based acquisitions
10:09 kados no
10:08 paul do you know which kind of bug ?
10:08 kados so that may explain the delay
10:07 kados quite busy on it from what I understand
10:07 kados nz is working on a major bug in acquisittions I think
10:07 kados ok
10:06 paul chris told me he would ask bob to fix it, but no news from nz
10:05 paul (addbiblio & cloneTag)
10:05 paul no, the mail on koha-devel is still relevant
10:05 kados paul: what is the status of the cloneField? is it stable?
10:04 kados this is directly relevant to the current thread on koha-devel about templates I believe
10:04 kados CGIitemtype to itemtypeloop for opac-search.pl
10:03 kados I made a commit yesterday that completed a transition from
10:03 kados paul owen and pierrick
10:00 owen Hi
09:58 kados morning owen
09:41 cm paul: thanks for the tip. I suspected as much about the crazy driving. ;)
09:40 paul I asked SAN-OP, they are ok, but did not suggest anything yet
09:39 paul not yet.
09:39 pierrick paul, did you plan devWeek "afters" ?
09:39 kados ok :-)
09:39 paul (you're release manager, so be leader ;-) )
09:39 kados right ... I'm quite busy as well but I hope to have a few days before I leave + some days in Geneva
09:39 paul ok, so I let you the lead here
09:38 paul I don't know, & I must say i'm really really overbooked & don't have time to organize anything
09:38 kados yes, and I intend to make a wiki page with what I think we should do
09:38 paul do you think we should plan the program before ?
09:38 paul yep.
09:38 kados paul: no plans yet from 4-8, will arrive in marseille on 7th, so maybe we could plan that day?
09:37 paul (not cheap)
09:37 paul I don't think so. but public parking close.
09:37 pierrick paul, no parking in the hotel?
09:36 paul but do as you want ;-)
09:35 paul + you won't have a big need for the car
09:35 paul + marseillais (marseille citizens) really drive madly
09:35 paul as the hotel is in the center, and it's a problem to get parking
09:34 paul cm: i'm not sure it's a good idea to rent a car for Marseille.
09:34 cm I can't find rentals for france at enterprise.com; autoeurope.com has them. we'll have to shop around.
09:21 slef might be easy for foreigners, I guess
09:20 paul for sure slef
09:20 slef Do enterprise rent-a-car have shops in France?
09:20 paul (maybe on sunday, I could get you when you arrive, invite you in my home & take few hours to speak of the devWeek program)
09:19 paul kados: what do you plan to do between 4th and 8th ? could we have 1 day in Marseille to organize the devWeek ?
09:18 paul kados: what's the name of tina & sara pls ?
09:17 cm that's not too bad.
09:17 paul nope. It's something like 1-1.5km from the metro.
09:17 cm John Brice, Kyle Hall, Cindy Murdock.
09:16 cm is there a metro stop near the university?
09:16 paul cm: could you give me complete name of ppl coming ?
09:15 paul strange...
09:15 paul now it works.
09:15 cm we'll have to check into 'em. thanks, slef.
09:15 kados paul: it works fine for me
09:15 slef holidayautos.com or easycar?
09:15 paul (although i could not tell you how much)
09:15 paul you can probably, but that will cost more money
09:14 kados I need to step away for about 20 minutes
09:14 paul http://wiki.koha.org/ => not found
09:14 slef you want wide open farm tracks like East Anglia
09:14 cm can we rent an automatic?
09:14 kados paul: yes, but it needs checking to ensure it's completely migrated
09:14 slef Autoroutes are masochism, far too full, like to London motorways
09:14 kados :-)
09:14 paul is wiki.koha.org up now ?
09:14 slef slef stays on the trains in France
09:13 paul imho, the main problem for an american is to deal with manual driving
09:13 kados slef walks 40K to the meeting each day :-)
09:13 cm at least in france you drive on the proper side of the road. :D
09:13 kados hehe
09:13 slef ...like hell I will...
09:13 kados cm: great news! I was worried ther wouln't be space
09:13 paul hehe, this hotel will be filled by KohaCon (as it's a small one)
09:13 slef Cedez le Passage !
09:13 kados ahh...great!
09:13 slef cars? in France? bwahaha
09:13 cm i booked the hotel. we're staying in the same one as everybody else.
09:13 paul maybe yes, maybe no : antoine, my student has a car !
09:12 kados s/our/your/ :-)
09:12 kados paul: all our cars are full, right?
09:12 kados paul: I told them they might need to rent a car to join us if they stay in marseille
09:12 cm three people, paul. John, Kyle and me.
09:12 cm hey kados!
09:12 cm Yeah, a week in france is not so bad!
09:12 kados cm: hey cindy
09:12 paul "we" means how many ppl ?
09:12 paul wow, great
09:11 cm Kados said I should pop in to talk to you. We're coming to the dev week.
09:11 paul (a liblime customer if i don't mind)
09:11 paul hi cindy.
09:11 cm hello--this is cindy from CCFLS. :)
09:10 paul but who is cm ?
09:10 paul hello cm.
09:10 paul yep
09:10 cm paul, are you here?
08:43 paul you're welcome
08:43 shedges thanks!
08:42 paul hdl planned to release it with 2.2.6, but as 2.2.6 will finally be called 2.4.0 and it has some bugs, we decided to release it now
08:42 shedges OK, I list hdl as the author, change 2.2.6 to 2.2.5
08:42 paul (as there are some problems for 2.4.0 it seems)
08:42 shedges (location of KohaBMutf8.sql)
08:41 paul mmm... no, that should be 2.2.5
08:41 shedges paul: the document refers to a koha-2.2.6 directory, should that be koha-2.4.0?
08:41 paul but he's away & won't be back until tomorrow
08:41 paul it's hdl
08:41 paul (sorry, I was on phone)
08:41 shedges paul: are you the author, or hdl, or both?
08:35 shedges may I ask a question (or two) about "Installation de Koha sous Windows?"
08:35 paul hi shedges
08:35 shedges hi paul
08:33 pierrick OK, I update my installed packages
08:31 kados pierrick: sarge feed is several versions behind
08:31 kados pierrick: not sure about yaz, but latest debian feed from indexdata has correct version
08:30 kados pierrick: zebra 1.4?
08:30 kados pierrick: ZOOM 1.1 I think
08:30 kados pierrick: required versions for a stable system is the latest versions available from indexdata.dk
08:29 pierrick Net:Z3950::ZOOM? Zebra? Yaz?
08:29 pierrick kados, what are the required version of additional packages for Zebra-plugin?
08:28 pierrick slef, during the meeting we talked about the next Bug Squashing Party (planned next week) and about Unicode status (I've sent a mail some minutes ago)
08:24 kados it was just pierrick and I
08:24 kados hmmm ... we didn't really have one :-)
08:20 slef oh yeah: are there notes from 2006-04-10 meeting?
08:14 kados yea, si needs to help us out when he gets up
08:14 kados hehe
08:13 slef kados: I had something to say to you and I was going to put it in the topic but the topic is locked and there's no memoserv here as far as I know and now I forget what it was :-/
07:59 kados for instance, the marc_word bug I discovered needs to be fixed before 2.4 IMO
07:59 kados except for bugfixes
07:59 kados no more changes in rel_2_2++
07:56 paul they should send me tomorrow all features for reserve & circulation
07:56 paul (it's the borrowers feature)
07:56 paul the less good news : it's poor perl, i fixed many things, but it's still poor.
07:55 paul the good news : I have code from Ouest Provence & should be able to commit it this week on next week.
07:55 paul then no more changes in rel_2_2 and work on head only (except for bugfixes) ?
07:54 kados paul: I continue to work on encoding this morning
07:54 kados paul: 100% :-)
07:54 kados paul: yes, and I'm stillworking in MARC::File::XML so it will require yet another update before I am done I think
07:54 paul (twice)
07:54 paul my $record=MARC::Record->new_from_xml($xml,C4::Context->preference('TemplateEncoding'),C4::Context->preference('marcflavour'));
07:53 paul does this require an updated MARC::File::XML ?
07:53 kados two more lines :-)
07:53 kados that too
07:53 paul MARC::File::XML->default_record_format( 'UNIMARC' );
07:53 paul kados: katipo commited new barcode print in rel_2_2 if I see correctly.
07:53 kados paul: also in addbiblio.pl
07:53 kados paul: partly yes
07:52 pierrick hi kados
07:52 paul ?
07:52 paul + my $xml= MARC::File::XML::header(C4::Context->preference('marcflavour'),C4::Context->preference('TemplateEncoding'));
07:52 paul it's
07:51 kados think
07:51 kados but that's not the important fix I don't thing
07:51 kados this creates the XML as <record></record> instead of <collection></collection>
07:50 paul I've seen "as_xml_record". what is this done for ?
07:49 kados paul: (only problem remaining is contained in MARC::File::XML I think)
07:49 kados paul: but at least now the records can be created without being completely destroyed
07:49 kados paul: still working on one problem
07:48 kados paul: I committed partial fix for the encoding probs
07:48 paul hello kados
07:48 kados welcome back paul
07:48 kados hi #koha
07:38 pierrick oui, j'ai lu (priorité à la mailing-list par rappor à l'IRC)
07:37 paul bon, en attendant, j'ai répondu à ta remarque sur koha-devel
07:37 paul pas glop !
07:37 pierrick oui, en revenant de déjeuner j'ai pas cliqué sur le bon bouton... et l'ordi s'est éteint
07:33 paul et revoilà pierrick !
05:27 paul osmoze: ...
03:56 slef si: can you /mode #koha -t please?
03:46 osmoze :)
03:46 osmoze lol
03:46 pierrick hello osmoze
03:46 pierrick paul, grande forme aujourd'hui
03:46 pierrick hdl knew I was working on budgets :-)
03:46 paul hélhuile
03:45 osmoze hello
03:44 paul (happy to see you did not work on it ;-) )
03:43 paul (i was afraid you could have work on borrowers screens... but I loose my cell phone, so could not reach you. + I had no easy web access)
03:42 paul (Ouest Provence)
03:42 pierrick paul, who is OP ?
03:42 pierrick hi russ
03:39 russ hi paul, hi perrick
03:25 paul code cleaning on the way (+ translations to english, as OP made many things in french :-( )
03:25 paul (next week for sure)
03:03 paul aye pierrick
03:03 pierrick hi paul
02:52 paul hello world
00:53 thd kados: no guessing required :)
00:52 thd kados: Of course, you know me the column values have detailed explanations.
00:52 kados cool
00:52 thd kados: no just an explanation of which files are which and the column values for delimited output.
00:51 kados have fun :-)
00:51 kados k, I"m off to bed
00:51 kados :-)
00:51 kados don't write me a book
00:51 kados great
00:49 thd kados: I am most of the way through preparing an explanation of the output for you. You can look at it the morning.
00:48 kados thd: been working on the encoding probs in rel_2_2
00:48 kados thd: I'm actually gonna head to bed in a sec
00:48 kados thd: just barely
00:47 thd kados: wow you are still awake :)
00:46 kados thd: congrats!
00:46 thd kados: I have equalled the best expected manual match rate from a highly reliable automated process.
00:42 thd kados: 456/615 total matches, a 74% match rate, from the automated process of 61 records/hour completed 1.05 AM. I will match more manually. Of course, a very few are bad matches and will need to be eliminated.
21:00 thd kados: I think the slower time this is taking relative to the first 29 record test is because the hit rate is higher for the records and more servers may be responding. More of them time out in very early morning.
20:55 thd kados: Many Canadian records provide two languages for the price of one with the LCSH in both English and French.
20:53 thd kados: LC does not spend time creating records like that. Many recently published books of which that was a fine example have full contents for 505 supplied by the publisher.
20:51 kados cool
20:51 thd kados: The Alaskan cookery book with every recipe in the full contents was a nice early LC match.
20:47 thd kados: bad matches are quite minimal n my spot checks. A title like "Am salmon" deserves to mismatch a pop recording with full contents at LC.
20:45 thd kados: it has been running for about 6.75 hours.
20:43 kados cool
20:43 thd kados: we are at 355/615
20:43 kados thd: so how many hours has it been running?
20:43 kados thd: cool
20:42 thd kados: rate of progress is 51 records an hour with very little resource consumption. This is certainly mostly server response time.
18:21 kados hehe
18:20 kados si: !
15:34 kados so preview needs some work looks like
15:34 kados interesting, the preview page doesn't have the whole spine label either
15:33 kados hmmm, still doesn't display
15:33 kados :-)
15:33 kados cause someone had the brilliant idea of stripping off some of the digits in the scanners
15:32 kados but of course, the barcodes aren't stored as IL2of5 in the db
15:32 kados ahh yea, we hve interleafed 2 of 5
15:30 kados NPL's got some funky barcode stuff going on
15:30 kados that should work
15:30 kados try code39
15:30 kados hmmm
15:19 owen So kados is NPL's type of barcode in that list of barcode types?
15:17 owen The print preview isn't quite accurate
15:16 kados sweet
15:16 owen Okay, yeah. Looks like it's working now
15:14 kados owen: try now
15:13 kados the apache user is stored in the koha.conf iirc
15:13 kados it should
15:13 owen being hazy about permissions, I'm curious how this is handled for new installations. Will the installer make sure the permissions are correct?
15:13 kados owen: I'll take care of it
15:10 owen Thanks chris :)
15:09 chris make even
15:09 chris then apache should be able to write to it (to mark the barcode images)
15:09 chris if you do , sudo chown www-data barcodes
15:08 chris do you have sudo rights?
15:08 chris man i need coffee
15:08 chris right even
15:08 chris write
15:08 owen I'm a little hazy about permissions issues... it says the Owner is me, and it's not writable by anyone else.
15:07 chris -?
15:06 chris and is it writable by the user apache runs as?
15:06 chris owen does /home/oleonard/koha/intranet/htdocs/intranet-tmpl/barcodes exist?
15:06 owen And this: Couldn't open file /home/oleonard/koha/intranet/htdocs/intranet-tmpl/barcodes/new.pdf, No such file or directory can't open an error logg, Permission denied at /home/oleonard/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/barcodes/label-print-pdf.pl line 67
15:05 owen I get an error like this 6 times: File does not exist: /home/oleonard/koha/intranet/htdocs/intranet-tmpl/barcodes/ITF-32000000135066.png
15:03 kados owen: hit me with them
15:03 kados owen: sure
15:02 owen Whenever.
15:01 owen kados: if you're interested, I have more barcodes-related errors to report
14:57 owen ah, here's a good old enhancement bug: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=718
14:53 kados read you tomorrow
14:53 kyle later.
14:53 kados cool ...
14:53 kyle well, i've got to go. I'll drop in tomorrow.
14:53 kados we've got a blog
14:53 kyle maybe we should start an "enhancments" blog or wiki, or something.
14:52 kados hehe, yea
14:46 owen We used to post enhancement bugs to bugzilla, but that was always like dropping them down a well
14:44 kyle is there a list of ideas online somewhere? we should write this stuff down. Maybe I'll get around to it, eventually.
14:43 kados we come up with a lot of those around here :-)
14:35 kyle but that's a project on it's own.
14:35 kyle what would be really sweet is to generate them on the fly with image-magick and have the color scheme in the preferences.
14:34 kados sweet
14:34 kyle the graphics are all multilayer png's, so it should be quite easy to change the colors (I used fireworks to make tham).
14:34 kados it's more about pragmatics than beauty :-)
14:33 kados for the librarian interface
14:33 kyle so it's a bit more pragmatic.
14:33 kados yea, I was just gonna say
14:33 kyle personally, I would have went with a two or three tone theme. But the librarians liked the idea of remember that red is checkout, and so on.
14:32 kyle I hope the colors aren't too garish.
14:32 kados very impressive kyle
14:31 kyle ok. I'll have to do that.
14:31 kados yep, a mean one too
14:30 owen addbiblio.tmpl is a bear.
14:30 kados kyle: in the NPL templates
14:30 kados kyle: quite a few cleanups
14:30 kados kyle: may want to take a look at recent commits to addbiblo.tmpl
14:29 kados where addbiblio takes you directly to the editor
14:29 kados rather than the NPL one
14:29 kados you followd the default convention on that page
14:29 kados nevermind
14:29 kados kyle: circ / liblime
14:29 kados ahh
14:29 kyle what's the login for the liblime demo? I could take a look.
14:29 kados it just reloads the page
14:28 kyle what happens? it works here. Maybe I missed a file.
14:28 kyle that's my target browser, I'm not sure how it will render in others.
14:28 kados kyle: looks like addbiblio doesn't work
14:28 kados kyle: on OSX
14:28 kados kyle: FF
14:27 kyle kados: what browser are you using
14:27 kados don't think too many folks use the shortcuts
14:27 kados yea, I think that's what happend with NPL too
14:26 kados gotcha
14:26 kyle they might forget about shortcut keys altogether.
14:26 kyle When most of the librarians here use a computer, they are very mouse-centric.
14:26 kados yea, it looks very nice
14:26 kyle yeah, I'm not sure if that's going to be an issue here.
14:25 kados sweet
14:25 kyle but I've had alot of positive feedback on the templates.
14:25 kados so owen cooked up a few
14:25 kados one thing NPL's librarians missed was the shortcut keys that their old system had
14:25 kyle yes, to them, it's a huge change.
14:25 kados hehe
14:25 kados wow, this will be quite a change
14:25 kyle it's almost as old as I am ; )
14:25 kados ahh
14:24 kyle it's DOS based, blue background, white text.
14:24 kyle or, I should say, are just afraid of a new system.
14:24 kados is this what your current system looks like?
14:24 kyle we have alot of librarians who don't like change.
14:24 kyle I wanted everything to be very obvious.
14:23 kyle I was trying to create the simplest system possible.
14:23 kados kyle: I'm wondering why that was
14:23 owen Another WordPress site! Cool :)
14:23 kyle We have to get all the libraries to agree on anything we want to do.
14:23 kados kyle: so you opted against the left-hand bar eh?
14:22 kyle it makes getting things done alot harder.
14:22 kados ahh
14:22 kyle yes. But the other libraries are actually independent, no branches.
14:22 kados kyle: meadville I mean
14:22 kados kyle: it's the largest branch right?
14:22 owen Ah
14:21 kyle yup
14:21 kados Meadville is to CCFLS as Athens is to NPL
14:21 kados owen: Crawford County Federated Library aka Meadville Public
14:21 owen kyle, what library are you with?
14:20 kyle yeah.
14:19 kyle ok
14:19 kados kyle: chances are you'll want to run utf-8 anyway
14:19 kyle yeah, you're right.
14:19 kados kyle: check the latest NPL templates, there's a new syspref to store that var
14:19 kados kyle: I bet it's hardcoded in your templates
14:19 kados kyle: charset=iso-8859-1
14:19 kados kyle: one thing
14:19 kyle I know I'm having trouble with finding some color settings.
14:19 kados at least on some pages
14:18 kyle i could definitly use some more eyes to spot those little problems.
14:18 kados kyle: looks like you got current branch displaying as well
14:18 kados open source _does_ work :-)
14:17 kados hehe, this rocks
14:17 kyle thanks.
14:17 kyle no opac, at least no yet.
14:17 kados looks cool
14:16 kados kyle: liblime demo running ccfls template
14:15 kados yea, I approved it
14:15 owen If it was committed all at once, the message is probably being blocked for being too long (awaiting moderator approval)
14:15 owen I see the ccfls stuff coming down with my CVS update
14:14 kados kyle: did you do an opac tempalte too?
14:09 kyle cool.
14:09 kyle mine probably would, I like very small cars. Except when moving.
14:09 kados kyle: looks like your commit's coming through
14:08 kyle Most american cars wouldn't fit on city streets.
14:08 kados yep
14:08 kyle I know European cars are gennerally much smaller.
14:08 kyle I was just thinking about that.
14:08 kados whenever I get back from europe I'm always surprised at how large our cars are
14:07 kados yea, parking in europe is interesting ... eastern europe especially :_)
14:07 kyle it's hard enough to know your rights in your own country.
14:06 kados it was tough because I didn't really know my rights
14:06 kyle that's not cool.
14:06 kados they started pulling things out and throwing them on the sidewalk
14:06 kyle my wife went to russia, she said there are essentially no traffic laws and people park wherever they feel like.
14:06 kados actually, I got pulled over and had my car searched when I was in Paris last :-)
14:05 kados it gets real messy with visas and such
14:05 kados you should try russia :-)
14:05 kados france is no sweat
14:05 kyle I imagined myself getting lost in Europe somewhere.
14:05 kados hehe
14:05 kyle when I though it was just me i was *really* anxious.
14:04 kyle so it's all three of us now.
14:04 kyle it seems that way. First it was just me and John. but Cindy rescheduled her vacation to come.
14:03 kados or just you and Cindy?
14:03 kados so all three of you coming to france?
14:02 kyle i'll try to.
14:02 kados kyle: you should hang out here more often :-)
14:02 kados so perl=easy to read and POD=nice layout :-)
14:02 kyle yeah, i'd say so.
14:02 kados but the cool thing is that it's perl and the POD docs are usually pretty good
14:01 kados a lot of this stuff isn't documented and you have to go to the source
14:01 kyle ok, sounds good.
14:01 kyle I can't believe how different our current ILS works, even from other ILSs of the time.
14:01 kados kyle: you'll also want to read over the sections in MARC::Charset's Charset.pm on error reporting, etc.
14:00 kados no kidding
14:00 kyle I wish marcxml were ubiquitous, it would make my life easier.
13:59 kyle someday...
13:59 kyle : /
13:59 kados but there's not a simpler way to do it in MARC::Record proper with binary marc
13:58 kados it's kind silly to go from binary to xml and back to binary just to change the encoding
13:58 kados and that you're using the latest SourceForge versions of MARC::REcord, MARC::File::XML and MARC::Charset
13:58 kyle ok.
13:58 kados assuming $record is a MARC::Record object
13:57 kados my $newrecord = MARC::Record::new_from_xml($uxml, 'UTF-8');
13:57 kados my $uxml = $record->as_xml;
13:57 kados to convert to UTF-8 you can go:
13:57 kados I'm 99% sure your records will come out as MARC-8 encoded
13:56 kyle ok, sounds good.
13:56 kados kyle: also, make sure you convert everything to utf-8
13:56 kados the CPAN versions are really old
13:56 kados they're on sourceforge
13:56 kados MARC::File::XML and MARC::Charset
13:56 kados and you'll definitely want to use the CVS versions of MARC::Record
13:55 kados you can probably use some ideas from that sub to build your own
13:55 kados kyle: FindDuplicate
13:55 kados kyle: line 452
13:54 kyle will do. thanks for the tip.
13:54 kados snoop around in addbiblio.pl
13:54 kyle I figure later I can learn more about zebra and do some cleanup then.
13:54 kados there are some routines that may help you with identifying duplicates
13:53 kyle I'm looking forward to meeting everybody.
13:53 kados yea, that'd be what I'd do
13:53 kyle I think I'm going to try your idea using the perl marc libraries and just combine each libraries records for now.
13:53 kados it'll be great to have you all there
13:53 kados well that's gonna be fantastic
13:53 kados sweet
13:53 kyle yeah, I did all that this morning, I should have it in 10 days or less.
13:52 kados yea :-)
13:52 kados is there some way to rush your passport?
13:52 kyle you mean all our marc problems?
13:52 kyle I've never been out of North America, and I'm a bit anxious ; )
13:52 kados kyle: how's the data work going?
13:52 kyle we do have a test server, i'll ask cindy about it.
13:52 kados kyle: excited about France?
13:51 kados kyle: if you want to talk to him
13:51 kados kyle: he'll be on tomorrow morning (our time)
13:51 kados kyle: do you have a demo somewhere?
13:51 kyle do you want to ask him, or should I?
13:51 kados but paul's the boss of rel_2_2
13:50 kados well, if it was up to me I'd put them there
13:49 kyle i guess that's not a problem if that's not where I should be putting them anyway.
13:49 kados doesn't look like they came through
13:48 kyle yes
13:42 kados kyle: koha/koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/ccfls ?
13:42 kados kyle: where'd you put them?
13:42 kados no koha-cvs yet
13:42 kados back
13:40 kyle plus I need to clean out some old, unused files.
13:39 kyle I wouldn't say there are completely done, but I would put them at %98-99
13:38 kados phone call
13:38 kados hang on just a sec
13:38 kyle ok, any idea where I should put them?
13:38 kados kyle: he's getting pretty close to a release of 2.4
13:38 kados kyle: better pass it by paul first if so
13:38 kyle yes
13:38 kados kyle: did you attempt a commit to rel_2_2?
13:37 kyle hmmmm.
13:36 kados hmm, don't see anything coming through on koha-cvs
13:36 kados I"ll look now
13:36 kyle thanks.
13:36 kyle could someone check to see if it worked?
13:36 kados excellent kyle
13:36 kyle under the title ccfls
13:36 kyle I just added my templates to cvs
13:36 kyle hey all.
12:54 thd kados: as you would know bulkmarcimport.pl stops importing at that point
12:52 thd kados: record number 10 from Columbia Univ. has the following problem when using bulkmarcimport.pl: not well-formed (invalid token) at line 40, column 60, byte 1678 at /usr/lib/perl5/XML/Parser.pm line 187
12:25 kados hehe
12:25 owen Hmmm... bugs from version 1.2.2?
12:22 kados hehe
12:15 owen We really haven't been using bugzilla lately have we?
12:11 kados thx
12:09 kados tim: and the solution ! (even better :-))
12:09 kados tim: thanks for the bug report!
12:09 kados tim: and we'll update cvs
12:08 kados tim: yea, it's fixed on your box
12:08 kados owen: and see if those ids come up funny when you try to edit
12:08 owen And I confirm your conclusions
12:08 tim Thanks :)
12:08 owen Just did :)
12:08 kados select bibid from marc_biblio where bibid!=biblionumber limit 10;
12:08 tim So I shold change that on ours or did you already do that?
12:08 kados owen: try this:
12:07 kados so that explains it
12:07 kados right
12:06 tim I just tried select * from marc_biblio where bibid=biblionumber and came up with nothing.
12:06 owen Yes
12:05 kados are they identical?
12:04 kados select biblionumber from marc_biblio where bibid='the id';
12:04 kados well ...
12:04 kados select * from marc_biblio where bibid='the id';
12:04 kados and what do you get when you go
12:04 owen yes, I get the same results when I change it to bibid
12:04 kados maybe even cases like tim's where the items aren't showing up at all because there's a biblionumber that doesn't have a corresponding bibid
12:03 kados when you use biblionumber
12:03 kados I'm guessing you'll find cases where you're not pulling up the correct items for a record
12:03 kados owen: see if you get the same results with that on 101
12:02 kados yep
12:02 owen ? You mean <!-- TMPL_VAR NAME='bibid' --> ?
12:02 kados owen: as that's what additem.pl is looking for
12:02 kados owen: the template should be changed to bibid I think
12:01 kados owen: I bet that's because for NPL biblionumber and bibid are identical in most cases
12:01 kados very strange
12:00 kados and in rel_2_2
12:00 kados so something must be different about additem on 101
