Time Nick Message 13:06 owen If you're using item-level itemtypes, is there any reason at all to specify an itemtype at the biblio level? 13:06 owen Or can it be taken out of the framework? 13:07 paul_p owen: it can be taken out of the framework. 13:08 paul_p (hello & happy easter) 13:08 owen And to you to, paul_p 13:08 owen Thanks 13:08 owen When are you leaving? 13:09 owen :) 13:25 Hui_Nan_ hello 13:25 Hui_Nan_ does anybody know how to figure out the data stored in Zebra indexes for a record? 13:26 Hui_Nan_ zebra admin's manual states there is a special element set 'zebra::index' 13:28 Hui_Nan_ however koha's biblios database says: Diagnostic message(s) from database: 13:28 Hui_Nan_ [25] Specified element set name not valid for specified database -- v2 addinfo 'zebra::index' 13:42 Hui_Nan_ http://lists.indexdata.dk/pipermail/zebralist/2007-July/001694.html 13:42 Hui_Nan_ answer's found! 13:57 jwagner Question for folks on authorities -- the dontmerge authorities syspref references a merge_authorities.pl cron job. However, I don't find that script anywhere on the server (either 3.0 or 3.0.1 versions). Is the manual outdated for this, or are we missing a script? 14:02 atz jwagner: misc/migration_tools/merge_authority.pl 14:02 atz slight imprecision in docs 14:05 jwagner Thanks, atz. Can you clarify when that should be run? If I'm reading the manual & syspref description correctly, if dontmerge is set to ON, things happen on the fly. If it's set to OFF, this script should be cronned (nightly? how often?). Is that correct? 14:05 atz nightly should do it 14:28 liz_nekls q: is there something amiss with git? I can't get search results after dec. 08 14:28 liz_nekls (web interface) 14:28 liz_nekls err, can't "seem" to get results after dec 08 14:30 atz liz_nekls: not sure what you mean... got a link? 14:45 owen liz_nekls: are you coming to KohaCon? 14:46 liz_nekls owen: yessir, I will be there 14:46 liz_nekls prepare to have your brain picked. 14:47 owen I'm looking forward to it :) 14:48 liz_nekls there are a lot of people I"m looking forward to seeing 14:48 liz_nekls meeting, etc 14:49 liz_nekls atz: hrmph, it works now, not sure what's different. I'm getting different results for things I searched for not 30 minutes ago 14:49 liz_nekls (correct results) 14:49 atz odd 14:49 liz_nekls very 14:49 liz_nekls but a welcome change in state of affairs 14:50 liz_nekls ;) 14:50 gmcharlt +1 to that 14:51 paul_p & very excited to come to TX! (i've been in OH, but Nelsonville is a not a large city !) 14:51 gmcharlt liz_nekls: checked - didn't see any particular reason why gitweb should have acted up 15:03 Hui_Nan_ had anyone played with zebra::index element set in zebra? 15:03 Hui_Nan_ I can't get utf-8 encoded text 15:04 Hui_Nan_ just dogs instead of letters 15:04 Hui_Nan_ like <index name="Author" type="w" seq="15">@@@@@@@@</index> 15:05 Hui_Nan_ I'm using yaz-client connected to zebrasrv via unix socket which Koha uses for biblios 15:07 Hui_Nan_ I worry because a SimpleSearch through opac "au=<some cyrillic surname>" gives a couple of records where <some cyrillic surname> is not mentioned at all! 15:08 Hui_Nan_ records were imported, using tools 15:10 atz Hui_Nan_: make sure the internal MARC flag for encoding matches your expectation (probably utf8) 15:10 atz that would be leader/09="a" for marc21 15:12 Hui_Nan_ I'm using unimarc (rusmarc) 15:13 atz i think it is in the 100 field then. paul_p could confirm 15:13 Hui_Nan_ yep exactly 15:13 Hui_Nan_ I have there Character Set 1 = 50-UTF-8 15:14 Hui_Nan_ it is not a problem 'cause in OPAC I see correct biblio 15:14 atz just in zebra? 15:15 Hui_Nan_ and if I ask zebra for just a record data I get marcxml/unimarc with russian 15:15 atz ah, ok 15:15 Hui_Nan_ but if I ask for indexing data - then alas 15:15 atz you just need to negotiate character set 15:15 Hui_Nan_ certainly I do 15:15 Hui_Nan_ charset UTF-8 UTF-8 UTF-8 is in my ~/.yazclientrc 15:16 Hui_Nan_ that's why I see cyrillic when I ask for record 15:16 atz that makes sense 15:16 Hui_Nan_ I believe that the trouble is in koha-conf.xml 15:16 atz interesting! 15:16 Hui_Nan_ I added the lines like "<retrieval syntax="xml" name="zebra::index" />" 15:17 Hui_Nan_ to access zebra::XXX element sets 15:17 Hui_Nan_ I believe I have to specify utf-8 somewhere inside retrieval 15:18 atz perhaps this is a question for the zebra listserv 15:19 Hui_Nan_ certainly it is 15:19 Hui_Nan_ I'm asking in a hope that someone here has played with zebra::index %-) 15:21 Hui_Nan_ well, why coluld this happen? I'm importing some records, rebuild zebra's index and get within relevant records a few irrelewant ones while searching? 15:25 liz_nekls gmcharlt: thanks for checking. 15:28 Hui_Nan_ just looking at that irrelevant record in `biblioitems.marcxml` 15:29 Hui_Nan_ that guy is certainly not mentioned nowhere in the record 15:30 Hui_Nan_ ...an author by whose name I found this record 15:30 atz strange... check your zebra logs to see if indexing is failing on certain records 15:31 atz otherwise, (if it isn't a huge dataset) try rebuilding the index from scratch and see if it still happens 15:32 Hui_Nan_ [warn] Index 'XXX' not found in attset(s) 15:32 Hui_Nan_ that's all 15:32 Hui_Nan_ XXX is not /Author.+/ 15:33 Hui_Nan_ 11 records for testing purposes 15:34 Hui_Nan_ rebuilding does not help 15:34 Hui_Nan_ ./rebuild_zebra.pl -b -w 15:34 Hui_Nan_ is it correct? 15:38 atz misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -r # the r clears index first 15:38 atz may want to use -x (for XML indexing too) 15:40 Hui_Nan_ the order of records in the results list has changed 15:40 Hui_Nan_ but, the same irrelevant records %-( 15:41 Hui_Nan_ I noticed that `biblio`.`author` is empty for all the imported records 15:41 Hui_Nan_ Is it OK? 15:42 Hui_Nan_ each has rusmarc 700 and 701 fields 15:42 Hui_Nan_ each record 15:43 Hui_Nan_ well, anyway, I'm fighting with Zebra, not Koha 15:43 Hui_Nan_ Where Zebra finds the data on records? 15:46 atz Hui_Nan_: that suggests that import is failing at some point 15:46 atz before writing to biblio.author 15:47 Hui_Nan_ well, Zebra says there are 11 records in the biblio base, all 11 `biblioitem`.`marcsql` are correct 15:48 Hui_Nan_ I'll wait for the answer from zebra list and then may be some code studying will help %-) 15:55 Hui_Nan_ [Mon Apr 13 13:44:25 2009] [error] [client 192.168.4.56] [Mon Apr 13 13:44:25 2009] stage-marc-import.pl: superlibrarian at 15:55 Hui_Nan_ /home/www/koha/lib/C4/Auth.pm line 1423., referer: http://catalog.isact.ru/cgi-bin/koha/tools/tools-home.pl 15:55 Hui_Nan_ ups... that's something strange 15:56 Hui_Nan_ I can't see what kind of error it is 15:56 Hui_Nan_ authentication, well 15:57 Hui_Nan_ ough, there are a lot of Auth.pm errors today :-( 15:57 Hui_Nan_ gonna check that line tomorrow %-) 15:58 Hui_Nan_ atz, thanks for help~ 15:58 Hui_Nan_ ! 15:59 liz_nekls ok, here's what I'm seeing (feel free to say "git: ur doing it wrong" 16:00 liz_nekls i did a search for 2940, and got no results 16:00 liz_nekls but here it is: http://git.koha.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=Koha;a=commit;h=bf17eb3902b2d7091406c43cf10834e45935c6f7 16:00 liz_nekls i had to look through the shortlog to find it 16:01 gmcharlt a commit search of '2940" on gitweb turned it up for me 16:02 liz_nekls I did the exact same thing and it didn't come up 16:03 liz_nekls and I just now did it, and it worked, from the home page. one second, maybe it's the location of the search box that is different 16:03 liz_nekls ok, I'm crazy I guess 16:04 liz_nekls <commences muttering> 16:06 gmcharlt one possibilitilty - gitweb's searches are in the context of whatever branch you're viewing 16:07 gmcharlt it's possible that you may have been looking at an older commit 16:07 gmcharlt and the search was relative to that 16:07 liz_nekls hm that could explain why it would work on some pages and not others 16:07 liz_nekls yes, that must be it 16:08 liz_nekls thanks, I'll just hit the home page every time to start my searches 16:08 liz_nekls to avoid that 17:13 chris sick_child_the_night_before_flying_to_texas-- 17:13 pianohacker Yikes. How sick? 17:14 chris just a cold 17:14 chris but it means im awake at 5am having just got him back to sleep 17:15 pianohacker Oh, man. Sorry, hope he feels better soon 17:16 chris thanks 17:18 chris liz_nekls: do you have a git clone checked out locally, or do you just use gitweb for searching? 17:22 chris atz: you about? 17:23 atz ? 17:23 atz not sure i can do much for your kid from here, though :) 17:23 chris heh 17:23 chris http://volnitsky.com/project/git-prompt/ 17:24 chris for a really over the top prompt :) 17:25 gmcharlt chris++ 17:25 gmcharlt some of that should be ported to gitweb 17:25 atz wow... that's overkill... but then, he's probably russian. 17:26 chris :) 17:27 pianohacker One wonders what that prompt would be like after editing four template files in our directory layout 17:28 chris heh 17:28 chris i do like this tho 17:29 chris http://gist.github.com/31631 17:29 chris adding a function to change the prompt if you are in a dirty state 17:33 chris right added :) 17:34 chris http://koha.pastebin.com/m3255725a 17:35 chris ok it's all quiet now, im gonna try and get more sleep, cyas later 17:35 pianohacker Good night 20:39 liz_nekls chris: wow, I totally missed your question. I use the gitweb, we are hosted. It's a long story. 20:40 liz_nekls chris: I can totally relate to the 5am child wakies 20:40 liz_nekls totally sucks, for all involved 21:00 chris yep, and now im awake again :) but this time voluntarily 21:00 chris liz_nekls: ahh in that case my git log --grep="2940" command won't help you :) 22:00 liz_nekls 2 more days to kohacon! Woo! Ttyl! 22:00 pianohacker Bye, see you there 23:06 atz bad timing between kohacon and taxes :( 23:08 gmcharlt atz: incentive to do them (slightly) earlier? 23:09 atz meh. incentive, inschmentive. 23:09 gmcharlt well, there's always the option of an extension - form to request one is much shorter :) 23:10 atz true 23:12 pianohacker Do we have a smokebot running? There's a lot of empty reports on smolder 23:14 gmcharlt there's a cronjob - I'll check it tomorrow 23:15 pianohacker Had completely forgotten about smolder 'till I saw the newsfeed in #kohanews 23:17 pianohacker bye 01:17 atz not too bad... taxes done in 2 hours 03:53 Amit hi chris, mason, brendan 04:08 brendan Heya Amit 04:08 brendan how's things 04:08 Amit everything is fine 04:08 Amit preparing for mumbai seminar 04:08 brendan cool 04:08 brendan ;) 04:09 brendan I'm signing off and will be back next week... have a good week 04:10 Amit same to u 07:09 Amit hi greenmang0 07:20 hdl_laptop matts: tu es sur biblibre ? 07:20 hdl_laptop Je ne vois personne 07:20 matts yep 07:30 Amit hi kf 07:30 Amit hi hdl 07:30 hdl_laptop hi all 07:30 kf good morning all 07:48 Amit hi nicomo 07:49 nicomo hi Amit 08:44 k3rn3l hi 08:45 mason heya kernel 08:53 k3rn3l I would like to know a little more about how koha was programmed, is there a good place to learn this? 08:53 Amit heya mason 08:53 mason hey amit 08:54 Amit mason: have u checked matching rule in koha 3.01 version 08:58 mason kernel: http://git.workbuffer.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=koha.git;a=blob_plain;f=docs/history.txt;hb=8d7f33c548600177a2b55f46a53f9828238c6e05 08:58 mason thats a good history of koha's development, for you 08:58 mason amit, for staged-importing? 08:58 Amit yes 08:59 mason hmm, yes - a little 08:59 Amit there is matching rule problem with issn 09:00 mason i have had success with isbn and issn matching 09:00 Amit in my case there is matching problem with issn 09:01 Amit i m also planning to add matching in ./bulkmarcimport.pl 09:02 mason ah, that would be handy 09:02 hdl_laptop k3rn3l: : KohaCon could be a good place too. 09:02 mason hi hdl 09:02 hdl_laptop Amit: how woul you do this ? 09:03 Amit no i have written some code last night but not working 09:03 mason kernel: and taking a look at koha src-code too ;) 09:04 Amit hdl: by hardcode of MARC tag one tag at a time 09:04 hdl_laptop I have already patched bulkmarcimport for that 09:04 hdl_laptop And it also adds importing authorities. 09:04 Amit k 09:04 Amit have u any url 09:04 mason i have modified bulkimarcimport.pl, addbib, addbibitems, additems to import new marc records with 999$ ids 09:05 mason 999$ has bib, bibitem and item numbers... 09:05 hdl_laptop Amit: no url but can send patch 09:05 Amit u can send me if possible 09:06 hdl_laptop mason: huh.... seems quite dangerous to do so. 09:06 hdl_laptop it it is hardcoded. 09:06 Amit yes 09:06 hdl_laptop will do 09:06 mason yes, a bit dangerous.... but needed for a tricky 2.2 -> 3.0 upgrade 09:07 hdl_laptop mmmm... You could have done it with kohafield linking 09:07 hdl_laptop i think 09:08 mason hmm, i dont think so , for this specific upgrade 09:10 mason but.. my dangerous patch is only used for the initial marc-import only - then the codebase is switched back, all is happy again 09:51 Amit hdl : this patch http://lists.koha.org/pipermail/koha-patches/2008-December/002309.html 09:57 hdl_laptop no 09:58 Amit k 09:58 hdl_laptop not sent on list at the moment 10:45 k3rn3l is there any framework (mvc) behind koha? 11:20 Hui_Nan_ hello 11:21 Hui_Nan_ how could I search for records where author is not Smith? 11:21 Hui_Nan_ not au:Smith? 11:21 Hui_Nan_ through OPAC 11:53 hdl_laptop mmmm... 11:54 hdl_laptop in the advanced tab, you can find boolean operators iirc.
