Can anyone tell me whether it's possible to import DELETE requests? 10:42 kf chris: just saw your patch - thx again1 10:44 kf hi Willem, I dont think it's possible, but perhaps one of the developers has an idea how to do or implement this 10:44 gmcharlt WillemVdV: i.e., load bib records with a Leader/05 = 'd' to signal that they should be removed from the database - no, not currently possible, but wouldn't be hard to add, either 11:48 WillemVdV Thanx kf and gmcharlt, will continue to remove records manually. 12:03 chris_n g'morning 12:07 Ropuch morning 12:12 chris_n chris about? 12:47 * chris_n greets owen 12:47 * owen is digging chris's IRC stats http://stats.workbuffer.org/ircstats/ 12:49 jdavidb Couple of good conversations, owen, and you'll catch up to hdl. :) 12:49 owen It's going to take a while for anyone to catch up with kados, but his title is defenseless 12:50 jdavidb Heh. yeah, the "Last seen"...I hadn't realized it'd been that long. 13:16 WillemVdV e.g. book or journal logo). Explanation will be appreciated. 13:18 Ropuch um.. the first part of your message is missing 13:19 WillemVdV Can someone explain the field 008 to me? The manual says it should have 14 bytes, but in my koha lists they're a lot longer, eg. =008 891013c19769999sa\fx\\\\\\\\0\\\\0eng\d and they seem to influence how the biblio appears in search results, e.g. journal or book logo. Help please. 13:19 Ropuch I'm sure there was something before: "..ge.g. book" 13:21 owen WillemVdV: Are you working with 008 in the MARC editor? addbiblio.pl? 13:25 WillemVdV I don't know about addbiblio.pl, but yes, I use the MARC editor. I've found that a journal only produces the journal logo in the search result if I changed the 008 field to the one copied above, but I'd like to understand the various bits and pieces. I also have single articles to display and they shouldn't come up with the book or the journal logo. 13:26 owen If you're editing a record in Koha, look for a small link to the right of the 008 entry field, "..." 13:27 owen Click that and it will pop up an entry form with all the elements labeled 13:28 owen http://koha.org/documentation/manual/3.0/cataloging/dctn875x_66d8k5prhb.jpg/image_large 13:28 owen That shows an example for 000, but it's the same idea. 13:31 WillemVdV Great - that explains it all. Thanks a lot. 13:44 jdavidb owen, I've got a puzzler here, and you're Teh Jquery Gawd. 13:44 jdavidb Got a sec? 13:44 owen You bet. No pressure. 13:45 jdavidb I've got two instances of koha running, with same code...one has slightly-older data, but not by much. But on the *newer* one, the sort buttons on opac-user disappear for the checked out and overdue tables... 13:45 jdavidb The same user, on the older data, works fine. 13:46 owen Is javascript otherwise running properly on the page? Cart button working, etc.? 13:46 jdavidb It seems like something in the table is causing the tablesorter to disappear, maybe. 13:46 jdavidb yep, cart button seems to be functional. 13:48 jdavidb I've diffed the entire opac-tmpl/prog/en tree between the two, as well as kohaclone/opac, just to check, and there are no diffs. 13:49 owen Sorry, no idea what's going on! 13:49 jdavidb Hrm. Thanks, though. 13:49 owen The data in the tables is different? Different checkouts in each example? 13:50 owen I wonder if it's possible for something in the data itself to make the tablesorter choke? 13:50 jdavidb Checkouts are the same, although many are overdue in the older data. Now, on the older data, she has a hold outstanding, but on the newer, she doesn't...could that be?... (testing) 13:51 jdavidb yes! if the user has no holds, the tablesorters break for Checkout and Overdue. 13:52 jdavidb This page has a *lot* of tinkering for this site...I betcha there's something squirrely in the <tr> </tr> structure for the holds table. 13:53 owen Yeah, bad markup would definitely cause problems 13:53 owen A trip to the validator should have been one of our first steps 13:53 jdavidb I suppose, then, that the tablesorter expects a nice clean, properly-marked-up table....that's what I need to check on, then. 13:54 owen Valid markup, and both a <thead> and a <tbody> 13:54 jdavidb Okay! See, you were more help than you thought you'd be. :) 14:07 ccurry Can someone direct me to documentation for importing serials holdings? The individual bibliographic records for the serials imported, but the records don't show subscription information; I assume Koha uses a different 9xx field than our old ILS. I can't find documentation for this and found only 1 (unanswered) list post about this issue. 14:08 owen ccurry: I suspect such documentation doesn't exist 14:08 owen It must be a fairly obscure operation for you to get no response. 14:08 kf I dont think you cant import serials holdings atm - you can import items in 952 and perhaps put your subscription info in local fields in the title 14:09 kf ccurry: we dont have subscription info but I still have to find out where to put the holdings of the library without adding items and without adding a subscription in serials 14:10 kf information like 2003 - current without issues 2003.5 etc. 14:14 ccurry kf: thanks. We do have this summary information in the MARC records in a note; I was hoping there was some automated way to populate the serials module...it's kind of surprising that there isn't. Some large libraries that have implemented Koha (with thousands of serials) must have wanted to do this... 14:19 owen Serials management is still an underdeveloped feature, IMO. 14:20 hdl kf: if you are running UNIMARC you have subfields of a biblio for that 14:23 ccurry owen & kf: Thanks for the insight. We're pretty set on koha....so, if my users insist on being able to import periodicals info, maybe we'll commission Liblime to develop something. 14:23 owen ccurry: The rest of the world would be grateful if you could insist to Liblime that such development was shared with the Koha community. 14:24 ccurry owen: of course. wouldn't have it any other way. 14:24 owen I have to say it because some *would* have it another way. :( 14:35 wizzyrea_ yea, some would. Bleh. 14:35 jdavidb Hi, wizzyrea_! 14:35 wizzyrea_ (FWIW, we insist that our code goes to the project, and we're willing to pay for integration, inclusion) 14:36 wizzyrea_ (because apparently that's an issue? no idea.) 14:36 owen The notion that one would have to pay specifically for integration is absurd. 14:36 owen it is to any vendor's advantage to integrate their code into the main branch. it save them the trouble of maintaining differing branches. 14:38 jdavidb It is absurd, owen. Now, we've got one customer that wants a feature that I *really hope* that gmcharlt rejects. It's a bad, bad idea, but that's what they wanted, so we've done it. And we'll have to maintain it. But we *will* throw it over the wall for everyone else to scream about, too. 14:39 wizzyrea_ yea, it's silly, but apparently it costs a lot to integrate it? Lots of extra time? Idk, in my mind you'd just charge for those hours as part of your quote (transparently or not) 14:39 wizzyrea_ "it costs X and we'll put it in the project" 14:40 gmcharlt jdavidb: yeah, if it's the feature (aka security hole) you're thinking of, jwagner and I had already talked about submitting it but leaving it to languish in contrib-land 14:40 jdavidb wizzy: No, it doesn't. It's not like you're writing that feature on a clean page. you're writing on top of HEAD, if you've got any sense at all. Whole new modules? Maybe. Adding features in the current framework? No. 14:40 jdavidb gmcharlt: That's the one. 14:40 wizzyrea_ jdavidb are you going to say in the patch notes "this is a bad idea, but here it is" lol 14:40 owen If you're coding the feature, you're coding it to work with Koha, right? Unless you're coding it using lots of site-specific, hard-coded stuff. Does the issue arise because some new development isn't written to be generic? 14:41 wizzyrea_ I don't have that information. 14:41 jdavidb wizzy: I'm thinking we'll put it out there straight, and see how many people scream in horror. 14:41 wizzyrea_ (but signs point to yes) 14:42 jdavidb We aren't charging extra for integration--we're writing with the patch in mind from line 1. 14:42 wizzyrea_ yea, you just calculate that time in from the start, without really thinking about it 14:43 wizzyrea_ (fwiw, I'm not saying it's right, just what they tell me) 14:45 wizzyrea_ heh, but the people who would benefit from our conversations on the topic aren't here to hear them, and probably don't care. 14:46 jdavidb Such hubris was and is bad for the big closed-source vendors, as SirsiDynix is rapidly discovering. 14:47 jdavidb ...who's to say that it's not dangerous for a smaller vendor, too? 14:48 kf hdl: running marc21 14:59 hdl kf : 14:59 hdl (16:56:09) gsf: @marc 310 14:59 hdl (16:56:09) zoia: gsf: The current stated publication frequency of either an item or an update to an item.

Bug 3203 shows as assigned to you.

I haven't investigated yet, don't know if it's something I can do. But I didn't want to spend the time looking at it if you were already active. 15:17 jwagner I'll take a look & see if I can do it. If so, I'll assign it to myself.
