Time Nick Message 12:22 kados morning #koha 12:22 jaron morning, kados 12:23 kados hiya 12:23 kados bout time for some coffee ... I'll bbiab 13:16 hdl morning kados 13:16 hdl morning owen 13:46 martinmorris hello, whoever's there got a question about fuzzy searching in the intranet and catalogue 13:58 martinmorris well, if anybody sees this, i have, for example, an author 'Petőfi, Sándor' and i'd like users to be able to search under just 'Petofi' without knowing about the accent on the 'o' - any ideas? 14:00 jaron martinmorris: this is an issue I've encountered as well, but never had a chance to investigate. 14:00 martinmorris fair enough jaron (hello btw) 14:01 jaron let me know if you discover anything. 14:01 martinmorris will do :) 14:01 jaron it'd be nice to have those characters indexed by their latin1 counterparts without the diacritics 14:01 martinmorris definitely 14:02 jaron I'm sure it's possible but unsure if something like that would be worked into 2.2. I wonder if zebra can handle this better? 14:02 owen I know the developers have discussed this issue before, but I'm not sure what the current status is 14:03 jaron owen: yeah, it's not trivial to implement for sure. 14:04 martinmorris i'm tempted to automatically put something in 700$a without the accents for each case, but it's not idea by any means 14:05 jaron it looks like for zebra you can create a huge mapping file string.chr which would do this. 14:05 martinmorris that's good 14:05 martinmorris brb 14:11 jaron martinmorris: see: http://www.indexdata.com/zebra/doc/character-map-files.tkl 14:12 jaron what you want may be possible with the zebra index without changing your records. 14:14 jaron If you were to change your records now to include latin1 characters for indexing you may see if there's something in the MARC standard for that. I doubt it though. Otherwise you might choose a local field in the 9XX range and then change your MARC framework to also search that field. 14:15 jaron 1XX and 7XX should either be the authorized form or if there is no authority file the form as it appears on the piece. 14:35 hdl jaron : you are not far from the solution. 14:35 hdl But you would have to reindex after changing the character map file. 14:36 jaron hdl: you're talking zebra? 14:36 hdl btw, zebra and rel30 is supposed to use utf8 and not latin1. 14:36 hdl jaron : quite 14:37 jaron hdl: of course utf8 but there's overlap with the ascii (or whatever) set. 14:37 hdl not for accented characters 14:37 hdl afaik 14:38 jaron hdl: yes, but what martinmorris wants would map characters from accented characters to non-accented ones 14:38 jaron the one problem I see is that there's more than one way to normalize diacritics in utf8 14:38 jaron composed and decomposed 14:39 jaron the MARC21 standard seems to want decomposed characters to make the round trip back to MARC-8 more possible. 14:41 jaron and I haven't looked at character mapping in zebra enough to know how it would handle that. 14:41 jaron hdl: but it's good to know I was on the right track :) 14:43 hdl owen : how do you manage your opac home page for athens ? 14:44 owen What in particular? 14:44 owen Much of it is done by customizing the OpacMainUserBlock system preference 14:45 owen I have to edit the template directly to get the right-hand sidebar extras in there. 14:48 toins perhaps a npl specific one ? 14:48 owen It's dev-week specific 14:49 owen If there's no updatedatabase for dev-week then it may not be in there by default 14:50 hdl and we didnot install devweek in france. 14:51 owen Yeah, dev-week is pretty much a dead-end I think 14:53 owen I think it's great to be able to manage that area of the OPAC with whatever content I want 14:53 owen It's much more flexible and library-friendly than trying to fill that space with hard-coded OPAC stuff 14:59 hdl I am OK with this feature. 14:59 hdl But I would like to port it to opac rel_3_0 15:00 hdl Is it easiliy understandable and is the use easy for a librarian ? 15:00 owen No :) 15:00 owen It's just a textarea for pasting HTML markup 15:01 owen I suppose you could use something like TinyMCE or FCKEditor to make it a more usable 15:03 owen There are a few instances now of system preferences which expect HTML markup as input, it might not be a bad idea 15:41 [K] *** join #koha@FreeNode: dbs n=dan@bas4-sudbury98-1279295078.dsl.bell.ca 16:12 [K] *** part FreeNode!#koha: dbs n=dan@bas4-sudbury98-1279295078.dsl.bell.ca 18:10 owen kados around? 19:10 [K] *** join #koha@FreeNode: dbs n=dan@bas4-sudbury98-1279295078.dsl.bell.ca 19:55 [K] *** join #koha@FreeNode: darcilicious n=plinkit@159.121.122.150 19:55 [K] *** part FreeNode!#koha: darcilicious n=plinkit@159.121.122.150 23:04 jamesa greetings martin 23:06 martinmorris hi jamesa 04:54 [K] *** join #koha@FreeNode: rangi n=chris@203-118-134-114.netspace.net.nz 05:01 [K] *** join #koha@FreeNode: darcilicious i=plinkit@c-76-105-203-39.hsd1.or.comcast.net 05:01 darcilicious ooooh. 05:11 chris yeah k relays from/to freenode
