Time Nick Message 18:09 gmcharlt right - I can put something together over weekend if needed 18:08 ryan i recall talking about allowing user to specify column headers for an import file 18:08 gmcharlt ryan: no. why? 18:07 ryan gmcharlt: did you have a patch in the queue for import_borrowers.pl ? 17:13 owen with periodicity implies that you don't 17:13 owen I see: irregular implies that you /do/ know when it comes out 17:13 hdl But without periodicity is when you donot have any regularity 17:13 hdl it is irregular 17:13 hdl owen : say it comes out on January, then in October and December for instance 17:12 hdl irregular stands for sthg that is not "regular" but has a periodicity 17:11 paul bye world. Have a good day/night depending on where you are. 16:44 owen thanks 16:43 paul yes. If you have several subscription of the same title at the same branch 16:43 owen paul, am correct that serials-collection.pl might list multiple subscriptions? 16:30 owen Interesting, so it's a UNIMARC thing. I wonder if MARC has a corresponding set of descriptions... 16:30 paul hdl, any idea ? 16:30 paul in UNIMARC there are both. I can't say what's the difference... 16:29 owen I see there's a choice to say that the frequency is "irregular." Does "irregular" not cover that case? 16:29 paul which can arrive in 1 year... or 2... 16:29 paul when you subscribe to the title, you subscribe for 6 issues. 16:29 paul some very specific (usually high level science) don't have a true periodicity 16:28 paul yes. 16:28 owen paul, hdl, do you know what "without periodicity" means when specifying a serial's frequency? 15:48 hdl this could be handled via batch modifications of biblios 15:47 paul to specify that "CD" are "1st floor", where "children's book" are "2nd floor", and "adult books" are ... 15:45 paul sometimes, the library also want some rewrite on localisation (or call number) 15:45 gmcharlt how much do the scripts vary - are the main differences just setting the specific branch codes for eaach library, or are there more complicated changes that vary from library to library? 15:44 paul atz : we could add a "plugin" system, where we could do those rewrite 15:44 atz paul: that sounds difficult 15:43 gmcharlt so some generalized item parsing and mapping mechanism would be useful 15:42 paul in France, each "département" (we have 100) has a local "bibliothèque départementale de prêt", who issues large number (200+) books to local small libraries & give them thelist of books they've issued, for inclusion in local ILS. we have to write a specific script for each library to "rewrite" the items on the fly 15:40 gmcharlt 3. implement handling authority record loads in same manner 15:40 gmcharlt 2. possibly ability to hook in custom routines to parse item data (so that you wouldn't need to create the 952/949/995 fields before staging the file) 15:39 gmcharlt 1. ability to get report of authority heading issues in staged batch 15:39 gmcharlt and due to have more added to it in post-3.0, including 15:38 paul (something like changing the homebranch/holdingbranch) 15:38 paul it will just lack the possibility to do some local changes on the item and that would be the handiest tool we could have... 15:38 paul wow, that's really great, wonderful, powerfull, ... 15:37 gmcharlt yes, matched_biblionumber 15:37 gmcharlt undo restores original bib (or deletes it if was added) and deletes any items added by the op (keeping other items that were not directly part of that import operation) 15:37 paul field matched_biblionumber ? 15:36 gmcharlt also stores copy of previous state of a replaced bib 15:36 gmcharlt when each record is imported, the ID of bib that is added (or replaced) is attached to the staged record via import_biblios 15:36 paul how does it works (ie : how does it know the biblionumber ?) 15:35 gmcharlt yes 15:35 paul remove it from the catalogue ? 15:35 gmcharlt if you go back to the same batch, you now have an option to undo it 15:35 paul oh, I see ! 15:35 gmcharlt it shows up after you completd an import of a batch 15:34 paul where is the "undo import button"... 15:34 paul ok, will do it immediatly 15:34 gmcharlt paul: do you see any ambiguity in the reverse operation ('Undo import')? 15:34 gmcharlt paul: more like I don't disagree - i.e., it's fine with me 15:34 hdl + will be good to be able to make a list to import into catalogue in 3.10 :D 15:32 paul gmcharlt: do you agree to spell the button differently ? 15:32 hdl thx gmcharlt 15:32 hdl yes and this is very handy 15:32 paul shame on me to have never tested that. A customer entered something like 200 biblios in the catalogue without planning to do it... 15:32 gmcharlt yes (but note that when batch is imported, copies of bib are still left in reservoir) 15:32 hdl I had the same surprise in la Trappe. 15:31 paul a file with status "staged" is in the reservoir, while a batch with a status "imported" is now in the catalogue, right ? 15:30 paul the button should be written differently I think. Something like "import to catalogue" 15:30 paul one of our client thought it was to validate the staging... 15:29 paul the button "Complete import" will transfer from reservoir to catalogue right ? 15:29 paul no, it's more a terminology problem I think 15:28 paul mmm... there is a diff between en & french versions... 15:28 hdl you merely click on import 15:28 gmcharlt when stage complets, will give you a link to the management page for that batch, or you can access it via the 'manage marc batches' link 15:27 paul but how do I start the 2nd step ? 15:27 paul stage-marc-import is the 1st step 15:27 gmcharlt it's two step process - stage, then go to batch management and commit 15:26 paul how do you 'import' ? 15:25 gmcharlt in stores in reservoir (note that the marc_breeding table was renamed to Import_batches and friends), doesn't import directly until you commit via the manage-marc-import.pl tool 15:24 paul does it store only in reservoir (marc_breeding) table or can it be used to import directly in DB ? 15:24 gmcharlt good afternoon 15:23 paul yes, ('morning gmcharlt 15:23 gmcharlt paul: questions about stage and mange marc-import? 15:09 owen I'm too slow! :) Yeah, that was a new css property introduced by the tablesorter js 15:09 paul gotcha. it's th.header 15:06 paul the order-able columns items are almost-white on white with blue.css. Can you tell me the name of the css property to change ? 15:05 paul (login/passwd : abel/abel), page : http://i15.bureau.paulpoulain.com/cgi-bin/koha/circ/pendingreserves.pl 15:04 paul owen around ? 14:17 atz owen: probably not yet 14:17 owen should I be able to see that in my install? 14:16 atz any ideas for a workaround? 14:16 atz (which submits the larger cart/bookbag form) 14:16 atz ... but not when the user hits enter 14:16 atz owen: i've got AJAX for tagging "on list" working with the "Add Tag" buttons... 14:14 paul hi owen 14:13 owen Hi paul. Not me :) 14:11 paul is there someone around that can answer a few questions about tools/manage-marc-import.pl and tools/stage-marc-importe.pl ? 14:11 paul hello world.
