Time Nick Message 11:21 owen kados: give me a holler if you get a moment 11:27 kados owen: yo 11:27 owen Hey. 11:27 owen Okay, say I have 3 virtually identical MARC records and I want to merge them 11:28 kados hehe 11:28 kados chris has a new editor for doing that 11:28 owen I figured it had to be in the pipeline 11:28 kados yea, definitely 11:29 kados it's really slick, just in acceptance testing now 11:29 kados for the library that sponsored it 11:29 hdl hi 11:29 kados hey hdl 11:29 hdl is there a url for new marc editor ? 11:29 owen But until then... I can manually update the biblionumber in items, right? 11:30 kados owen: yea, that should work 11:30 owen What about biblioitems? 11:30 kados wait 11:31 kados yea, you can delete from biblio, biblioitems the duplicates, then change the biblionumber on items 11:31 kados then re-index zebra 11:32 kados to remove the duplicate from the index 11:33 kados hdl: don't think there's a URL, and it's not really a 'new marc editor', just a new feature for the existing one 11:33 kados hdl: (we do badly need a new marc editor though :/) 11:34 hdl yes. 11:35 hdl But quite hard to manage if we are to be Norm (MARC, MODS, DC, ONIX,...) independant + flexible as it was !!! 11:37 hdl (kados : that could be managed via frameworks...) 11:38 hdl kados owen : consider updating the marc datas with items data. 11:38 hdl or MARC and NON-MARC won't be consistant. 11:39 kados ? 11:39 kados hdl: not sure I understand 11:41 hdl I think that in your process to merge items into a biblio, you donot update MARC datas, I think it may be dangerous. 11:42 kados hdl: in dev_week, items table is authoritative for items data, and the MARC data is updated automatically 11:43 kados hdl: updated by a batch process update_items.pl 11:43 hdl (managing all those versions is a nightmare) 11:44 owen kados, do I remember that with zebra you have the capability to query it from an external source and have it return xml or something like that? 11:44 kados owen: yep, and in zebra 2.0 you can even hand it xslt and it will do transformations as well 11:45 owen Can you tell me a little about how that works? 11:46 kados owen: &XMLgetbiblio in Biblio.pm 11:46 kados wait, nevermind 11:46 kados that's pulling from biblioitems 11:47 owen For instance, could a PHP script on another server send a request to zebra and get a result set back? 11:47 kados sure 11:48 kados for about an hour 11:49 owen Okay, whenever you get time I'd appreciate it. 11:49 kados sure 12:05 owen Hi tnb 12:05 tnb owen: hi :) 12:06 tnb owen: thanks for coming to APL yesterday for the visit 12:06 owen My pleasure. I hope the rest of the meeting went well 12:06 owen I always enjoy talking about Koha 12:08 tnb i think things went really well. We talked for about 5 hours more, so i think we covered about everything :) 12:08 owen kyle around, by any chance? 12:09 tnb I just hopped on, so i haven't seen him 12:09 owen It sounded like they had a potentially very complex system to do. 13:50 hdl kados around ? 13:50 kados hdl: yep 13:51 hdl Do you actually use devweek ? 13:51 kados ? 13:52 hdl I saw some posts But when updating, it doesnot checkout many files. 13:53 hdl s/sill/ will 16:43 owen kados: yes it's a bug! 30E <-- bug emoticon 16:47 chris morning 16:49 owen Hi chris 17:58 cm hello all.
