23:33 braedon|work   gmcharlt: i suppose i could switch the item stuff to writing directly to the tables, but i was having to parse and create marc records anyway, so there didn't seem much point
23:30 masonj         http://news.slashdot.org/story/10/02/21/2119252/What-Happens-In-Vegas-Happens-In-Afghanistan
23:29 braedon|work   all the marc records with 952 fields are then exported to a file, and imported into Koha
23:29 braedon|work   gmcharlt: i have a script that runs through the old system item data, tries to find  matching marc record for the biblio from marc archives,  creates one from the data if it can't find one, and adds the item data to it in a 952 field
23:23 chris          t
23:23 chris          less were broken than i though
23:23 chris          sending new request to pull
23:23 chris          done
23:12 gmcharlt       then run misc/maintenance/sync_items_in_marc_bib.pl
23:12 gmcharlt       you can populate items and issues
23:12 gmcharlt       you need 952 fields for items anyway, but you don't have to create them yourself
23:10 braedon|work   we are creating 952 records for the items and then importing them, so can just add the onloan date then
23:08 masonj         yep, a moditem (onloan-> '2112-11-22'), will update the marc stuff too
23:08 braedon|work   thanks
23:08 braedon|work   haha, ok
23:07 chris          952 something or other
23:07 chris          and the marc
23:07 masonj         snap...
23:07 masonj         yep, and a little script to set/update the items.onloan date , for the issues items
23:07 braedon|work   what is the items onloan date field used for?
23:06 chris          yup
23:06 braedon|work   so moved from one to the other when returned?
23:05 chris          issues is for things currently out, oldissues for returned
23:04 masonj_        braedon: issues and oldissues tables
23:00 braedon|work   to migrate existing book issues from an old system to Koha, do you just need to add "issues" table entries? or are there more dependencies?
22:46 gmcharlt       yeah, I think the whole intertubes knows that now :)
22:46 chris          i hear 1115 has snacks and drinks :)
22:45 chris          :)
22:45 gmcharlt       I've been there all of ten minutes, though :)
22:45 gmcharlt       it's a nice college town
22:45 chris          hows asheville?
22:45 chris          will do, thanks
22:44 gmcharlt       ok, I'll wait to pull - send me another pull request when you're ready
22:44 gmcharlt       chris++
22:44 chris          which has my settings, plus the whole po dir
22:43 chris          http://github.com/ranginui/translate.koha.org
22:43 chris          the other thing i did over the weekend to help the transition to frederic is
22:42 chris          ill have that all fixed by tomorrow though
22:42 chris          probably best to wait til tomorrow, a bunch of the syspref .po files ended up using hte french not the english, so fixing them
22:42 gmcharlt       and was wondering if it is still pullable or if I should hold off
22:41 gmcharlt       yeah, was checking on the translation branch - noticed a forced updated between this morning and now
22:41 chris          and updating the translation branch
22:41 chris          http://translate.koha.org/projects/sysprefs/  <-- working on this
22:41 chris          yup
22:41 gmcharlt       chris: about?
