Wish I was watching bones. 02:08 wizzyrea_ netflix streaming, almost all the seasons, 8 bucks a month 02:08 jloucks Manged to get everything imported from follett with the conversion script. The data looks clean. Not sure it got assigned to a particular library or not, though. 02:12 gmcharlt jloucks: "assinging to a particular library" is using done for the item records 02:13 gmcharlt if you were creating 952 fields in the bib records to transfer the items to Koha 02:13 Genji greetings all. 02:14 gmcharlt 952 subfield $b would have the item's home branch code, and $d the holding branch code 02:14 Genji multiple databases / libraries on same server... how does one use addbiblio to shove the record into a particular library? 02:15 gmcharlt er rather, make that $a for home and $b for holdings 02:15 gmcharlt Genji: do you mean multiple Koha databases? 02:17 Genji gmcharlt: boss wants to have some records shared between libraries... and some not. But, some users should not be able to access some libraries... some people should be able to search all.... 02:17 Genji i suggested seperate koha databases.. he didn't like that idea. 02:21 chris your boss might be up for shelling out a chunk of time/money to develop code to do that then 02:21 Genji yeah. thats me. 02:21 Genji Whats 'filter by library' do currently? 02:24 chris you can restrict searches to a library 02:24 chris but afaik there is no way to have a record availabe in some, .. i think its either one or all 02:25 jloucks Out of curiosity--is there any way to restrict to a library by default? Or have a drop down available on the main search screen? 02:25 Genji right... and i can take out libraries not permitted, from the library dropdown. 02:26 Genji but how do i put records at creation time, into libraries? 02:29 chris you dont 02:29 chris items belong to libraries 02:29 chris records dont 02:29 chris as it stands 02:29 Genji okay... how do i create an item? 02:29 chris srsly? 02:30 Genji yeah.. its been ages. the library ive been working for, for the last couple of years... doesn't have items. its a digital library.. never needed items. 02:30 jloucks LOL. I know how both of you feel... 02:31 chris right, id still have items ;) each item would maybe just contain a url :) but thats by the by 02:31 jloucks I've been assigned this project by the school I work for, though I've got little to no understanding of marc records and library systems. I'm the tech guy, so I'm just supposed to figure it out. At least there is a decent community. 02:32 chris its the last part of the adding a new record process, you add a biblio record, then the last part is adding items 02:32 chris luckily we have a good manual too :) 02:32 wizzyrea_ http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual/?ch=x6925 02:32 chris http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual/?ch=x6925#AEN6928 02:32 Genji hmm... never seen that page, in the process.. 02:32 jloucks I've got records and items imported, but the import must not have had branch/location information. 02:33 jloucks You're supposed to have a great wiki, too... unforunately it doesn't exist that I Can find. 02:33 chris yep 02:33 wizzyrea_ wiki.koha-community.org 02:33 chris wiki.koha-community.org 02:33 wizzyrea_ you are going to the wrong website 02:33 wizzyrea_ www.koha-community.org 02:33 chris www.koha-community.org is a great place to explain why the koha-community bit ;) 02:33 chris stop copying me wizzyrea_ :_) 02:33 wizzyrea_ neener neener 02:34 jloucks well the appropriate link sure helps! 02:34 wizzyrea_ ya, koha.org is kind of.. um... dead to us 02:35 chris ever since that thing with the cousins 02:35 * wizzyrea_ giggles 02:35 larsw yay, beta 02:35 Genji what fields in items control which libraries? 02:36 chris check out youre koha-marc mappings 02:36 wizzyrea_ er rather, make that $a for home and $b for holdings 02:36 wizzyrea_ says gmcharlt 02:36 wizzyrea_ 952 02:36 chris usually its 952 $a and $b 02:36 wizzyrea_ AGAIN with the copying! 02:36 chris but you are running some weird version genji, so best be checking ;) 02:37 gmcharlt chris: wizzyrea: you may find it more comfortable if you stop occupying each other's brains ;) 02:37 chris theres a better couch in wizzyrea_'s 02:37 wizzyrea_ chris has way better booze in his 02:38 chris 1 hour and 16 minutes until beer oclock!! 02:39 Genji oh hey, chris, Can i get ops? 02:39 Genji please? 02:42 * gmcharlt breathes sigh of relief that he had dropped the 'i' instead of the 'l' 02:42 Genji gmcharlt: and the log address is? 02:42 jloucks Alright... Checked out the marc-koha mappings and used marcedit to take a look at my import... Guess that none of my records have any data for 952-a or 952-b. 02:43 chris that'd do it jloucks 02:43 jloucks Yep... 02:46 * gmcharlt is going to bed 02:46 gmcharlt g'night 02:47 Genji Night... 02:47 chris sleep well 02:49 jloucks Just did a batch replace of =952 \\ with =952 \\$aNCHS$bNCHS (NCHS is the site code) -- hoping that'll do the trick. 02:50 gmcharlt jloucks: should, assuming that you've set up NCHS as a branch code in the Koha database first 02:50 jloucks now I've gotta wait to undo my last export... bleh. 02:50 chris now, make sure you set that branch up 02:50 chris oh no, now im in gmcharlt's brain too 02:50 * gmcharlt settles into the collective apartment that apparently combines my brain, chris', and wizzyrea's 02:51 jloucks Hmmm.. I've set up the library code. Where is branch setup at? I didn't see that in the admin area. 02:52 chris branch/library 02:52 chris same thing 02:53 robin <gmcharlt> OK, so who do those dishes belong to? And pick your clothes off the floor! 02:53 gmcharlt heh 02:53 jloucks Yeah. I've got a library set up with the name of NCHS Library and the code of NCHS. This seems promising. 02:54 gmcharlt robin: considering the way I keep house, that question would be asked of me, not by me :) 02:54 robin gmcharlt: hehe 02:55 jloucks As I add the other libraries later, is there a way to force the user to choose a specific library/branch? Or even to link to a specific library/branch? 02:55 jloucks like via a dropdown next to the search... 02:55 chris yes 02:55 wizzyrea_ ya 02:55 gmcharlt jloucks: and you can also configure things so that a given Apache virtual host limits to a particular library by default 02:55 chris http://library.kapiticoast.govt.nz/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl 02:56 chris if you want to just let them pick they can do it from there 02:56 jloucks I really want this to work. I'm tired of the admins around here not giving anything open source a chance, and subsequently draining our budget. 02:56 wizzyrea_ jloucks++ 02:57 wizzyrea_ gmcharlt: someday, you must teach me the secret of that 02:58 jloucks Gmcharlt--that sounds awesome. 02:58 jloucks When I Get the basics down and everything imported and functioning, I'll definitely have to follow up with that. 02:58 pianohack jloucks: What ils are you importing from? 02:58 wizzyrea_ follett 02:59 jloucks Follett. 02:59 jloucks Yeah. 02:59 pianohack oh, cool 02:59 wizzyrea_ i'm fast ;) 02:59 jloucks Librarian was pushing for destiny, but the cost is astronomical. 02:59 pianohack Were there scripts for that on contribs.koha.org? 02:59 wizzyrea_ indeed 02:59 wizzyrea_ contribs is still up 02:59 jloucks yeah. They require some easy editing. 03:00 pianohack I have a migration from follett lying around that I need to take care of, so I was curious how that was going, jloucks 03:00 jloucks Just the item types though. 03:00 wizzyrea_ nobody has offered to take up hosting of that one yet 03:00 pianohack I'd offer our library, but I'm leaving soon and our tubes are not quite internet enough for it 03:00 jloucks then I had to batch edit our site code in because we were running individual sites... 03:00 pianohack Right 03:00 jloucks What needs hosted? 03:00 pianohack You touched borrowers yet? 03:00 pianohack contribs.koha.org 03:00 wizzyrea_ contribs.koha-community.org 03:01 pianohack well, yes 03:01 pianohack See, I live in the brain next door ;) 03:01 wizzyrea_ hehe 03:01 jloucks what kind of bandwidth does it need? We've got 10mb upstream we barely touch. 03:01 wizzyrea_ probably not a whole lot 03:01 wizzyrea_ but I really have NO idea 03:01 pianohack I have no idea who even admins that, come to think of it 03:02 wizzyrea_ almost has to be LL :/ 03:02 jloucks Ha. Well, we could do it, I'm sure. 03:02 chris well back in the day 03:02 chris i set it up 03:02 jloucks As far as hosting goes, anyway 03:02 chris but i long since lost access 03:02 chris i suspect we'd have to get all the files, from there (There isnt much) and set it up somewhere else 03:02 pianohack wizzyrea, chris: Yup, looks like it's on one of ll's ec2 instances 03:03 pianohack Would we want to replicate the exact setup? 03:03 pianohack Wordpress, being the closest earthly example of a perfect CMS, might be a better way 03:03 wizzyrea_ >.. 03:03 wizzyrea_ >.> 03:03 chris wouldn't have to be, it is quite nice .. but just something that allows people to upload stuff, and do version etc 03:03 wizzyrea_ <.< 03:03 Genji Drupal, myself. 03:03 pianohack (minor exaggeration, but the answer to so many problems seems to be "use wordpress dammit") 03:03 wizzyrea_ idk ANYBODY who has wordpress... 03:03 * wizzyrea_ gives the shifty eye 03:04 chris i think we'd be stretching wordpress 03:04 pianohack maybe a bit 03:04 wizzyrea_ depends, there's probably a plugin for that 03:04 chris i wonder if the code that runs freshmeat is gpl 03:04 wizzyrea_ ^^ good point 03:05 pianohack maybe. the current contribs interface and freshmeat get the job done, but they're a tad clunky 03:05 Genji sourceforge engine is opensource. 03:05 chris yeah sourceforge is way overkill 03:06 chris i find the latest incarnation of freshmeat.net really clean 03:06 pianohack Ironically, this software would work quite well: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ 03:06 jloucks I could set up a 20gb dedicated virtual on ESXI with dedicated IP with either 2003 or whatever flavor of linux if someone wants to remote in and take care of the rest once it is done. 03:07 pianohack jloucks: Sounds like an awesome offer 03:07 pianohack also, why is freshmeat actually attractive, this must be against some law 03:08 jloucks if you guys get serious about it, just drop me an e-mail at erate@nc.k12.mo.us with the reqs and I'll get it setup. 03:08 pianohack jloucks++ 03:08 wizzyrea_ ok, I know I should know where you're from now 03:08 wizzyrea_ since I live in KS 03:09 Genji jloucks++ 03:09 jloucks MO Here. 03:09 wizzyrea_ where in MO, if you feel ok telling 03:09 jloucks near columbia. 03:09 wizzyrea_ i'm lazy, I could google it 03:09 wizzyrea_ OH MORTAL ENEMY! 03:09 chris there is a new version of PEM 03:09 jloucks Smack dab in the middle of the state. 03:09 * wizzyrea_ hisses 03:09 jloucks HA. 03:09 jloucks Don't worry, I'm not a college sports fan. 03:09 * wizzyrea_ might live in the land of the jayhawks 03:09 wizzyrea_ >.> 03:09 jloucks I watch Hockey and that's it. 03:09 wizzyrea_ me either really, but I did graduate from KU :P 03:10 jloucks I went to columbia college, so I avoided MU myself. 03:10 wizzyrea_ ok, we can be friends 03:10 wizzyrea_ :) 03:10 pianohack bah, midwesterners 03:10 wizzyrea_ bah, colorado folks 03:10 pianohack hehehe 03:10 jloucks I haven't been on irc in like 12 years... Maybe 14. 03:10 wizzyrea_ what are you coloradans? 03:10 pianohack I have no idea 03:10 pianohack westerners? 03:11 wizzyrea_ mountain folk? 03:11 pianohack I think the southwest is maybe 2 or 3 actual states 03:11 Genji so, is jloucks offer going to get taken up? 03:11 pianohack Well, we'll have to figure out what to put there 03:11 wizzyrea_ ya 03:11 pianohack But definitely yes, I would think 03:11 jloucks It'll be good to use some of our bandwidth that wer'e paying a crap ton for... for something useful. 03:12 jloucks And if I'm hosting something, I will subsequently feel less dirty asking lazy questions. 03:13 pianohack Bah 03:13 pianohack Ask away; personality is far more important than bugginess 03:13 pianohack Nice buggy people keep koha alive ;) 03:14 wizzyrea_ ^^ 03:14 jloucks So, I'm guessing it is worth the time to setup Zebra? The language made it sound like it was going to be a PITA to do... We've got 30-40k items. 03:14 pianohack jloucks: Well, it can be 03:14 wizzyrea_ but yea, it's probably worth it 03:14 jloucks About 10k per site. 03:14 chris defintely worth doing 03:14 pianohack yup, even at that level 03:14 chris even if you had 7 records 03:14 pianohack Fast and accurate searches 03:14 jloucks How much of it is library lingo that will be foreign to me. 03:14 wizzyrea_ not much 03:14 pianohack It's much more tech than library lingo 03:14 pianohack Zebra lingo actually 03:15 jloucks Oh, well if it is like NAT and whatnot that's no problem. 03:15 pianohack Zebra is weird in some fairly unique ways 03:15 pianohack But we're here to help! 03:15 wizzyrea_ ^^ 03:15 jloucks fantastic. 03:15 jloucks Reverting this import is taking for freaking ever. 03:15 pianohack Yes, can imagine 03:16 pianohack Last import I did was in the 2.2 days, where I just TRUNCATEd everything after a bad import, so I wouldn't know... 03:16 jloucks Probably should have just started over from the base image... could have been importing by now. 03:16 jloucks Import only took a few hours here. 03:16 chris bulkmarcimport.pl -d from the commandline :) 03:16 pianohack my tactics might not work so well in a more civilized age :) 03:16 chris i use bulkmarcimport to do mine, i dont use the web based version for migration stuff 03:17 jloucks didn't know anything else existed. 03:17 chris misc/migration 03:17 jloucks Cmdline is great if you know what you are doing. 03:17 chris yup 03:17 jloucks I tried running an update when I first installed--screwed everything up. 03:17 jloucks But, of course, I was being lazy and using the vmware image. 03:18 wizzyrea_ at least you're honest 03:18 pianohack Maybe I should port the import profiles work Idid that's languishing in the repos of an... unnamed vendor to bulkmarcimport.pl 03:18 chris that would be handy 03:18 pianohack Would actually be far easier without having to deal with AJAX UI stuff 03:18 Amit heya chris 03:19 chris pianohack: no doubt 03:19 chris hi Amit 03:19 pianohack browsers-- 03:19 pianohack Also, hi amit 03:19 Amit hi pianohack 03:22 jloucks hey, while I'm sitting here waiting for this revert to finish--is there any way to automatically fill in the "item description" field with the book summary from another database? 03:22 wizzyrea_ like amazon? 03:22 pianohack jloucks: Not exactly, but if you turn on Amazon content, you'll at least get it to show up in the catalog (staff and OPAC) 03:23 jloucks Trying to think of things that might make our head librarian more receptive. 03:23 jloucks And automatically pulling in item info would be one thing she'd love. 03:23 pianohack "Koha: we don't even WANT your soul!" 03:24 pianohack jloucks: Example: http://catalog.florencecolibrary.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=22423 under title notes 03:24 jloucks I got my codes last night from amazon, but they weren't activated until a few hours ago. I'll have to try putting them in now. 03:25 jloucks So--the title notes there--was that manual or from amazon/ 03:25 pianohack You'll have to make sure that the other Amazon system preferences are turned on 03:25 pianohack From amazon 03:25 jloucks Fantastic 03:25 jloucks Yeah, I actually know where the amazon settings are. 03:25 pianohack awesome! 03:25 jloucks need to go find my codes and put them in. 03:25 pianohack It's just slightly strange and confusing, so wanted to be sure 03:26 pianohack (really need to convince my library director to spend the extra money on a shorter domain name) 03:26 wizzyrea_ ph: we have one at www.williamsburgcommunitylibrary.org 03:27 wizzyrea_ tell me that's not way too long 03:27 pianohack gah! 03:27 pianohack florencecolibrary.org -> jcfld.org = bliss, for only $15 a year 03:28 pianohack also, I want to get rid of our internal domain name .jcfl 03:28 pianohack but anyway 03:28 pianohack ignore the ocd sysadmin 03:28 wizzyrea_ I don't ever have to be OCD 03:28 wizzyrea_ I have nekls.org 03:28 pianohack lucky. Do your internal systems use subdomains of that? 03:29 wizzyrea_ only lan.nekls.org 03:29 pianohack ah, k 03:29 pianohack supposedly that is a better idea (tm) 03:29 wizzyrea_ idk about that, but it works out 03:30 pianohack because who knows, the joshing country of malodorous librarians might register .jcfl, AND THEN WHERE WOULD WE BE 03:30 pianohack *joshing country of falafel librarians 03:30 pianohack supposedly that's the reason to not use an internal, unregistered domain like .corp or .nekls 03:31 jloucks when I started here we were web.northcallaway.k12.mo.us 03:31 pianohack yeah, the .us domains are a bit unwieldly 03:31 jloucks we're just nc.k12.mo.us now 03:31 pianohack anyway, time for netflix. see you all later! 03:31 jloucks still long, but not nearly as bad. 03:32 wizzyrea_ we had nekls.lib.ks.us for a while 03:32 wizzyrea_ well, we still have it 03:32 wizzyrea_ but don't use it 03:32 jloucks So-- I got the amazon stuff enabled, but title notes and reviews still don't show up. 03:32 jloucks The book jacket shwos now, though. 03:32 wizzyrea_ do you have *all* of they keys in? 03:32 wizzyrea_ and *all* of the prefs on? 03:34 jloucks all of the ones in "enhanced content" 03:34 jloucks Are there more/ 03:34 jloucks ? 03:35 jloucks I'm also not sure about my AmazonAssocTag -- I've got an amazon associates ID. And, of course, I also have the AccessKeyId. 03:35 wizzyrea_ do you have the secret key too? 03:35 jloucks Yeah, I've got one... didn't see where it was to be put in, though. 03:35 wizzyrea_ ooh 03:35 wizzyrea_ what version? 03:35 wizzyrea_ more -> about koha 03:36 jloucks 3.00.01.005 03:36 jloucks Take it I need to start over? 03:36 wizzyrea_ if you don't have a place for the secret key, you probably won't have the ability to get all of the advanced content 03:36 wizzyrea_ for amazon content, yea 03:36 wizzyrea_ :( 03:36 jloucks Ah well. I was trying to avoid setting up debian from scratch. 03:36 chris yeah thats a pretty old version 03:37 chris you *should* be able to use the vmware image 03:37 chris and just download and install koha 03:37 chris and then point to your new version, instead of the old one 03:37 chris if the upgrade didnt work 03:37 jloucks <--linux newbie. I'm an Active Directory 2000/2003/2008 admin. 03:38 chris you could even install a new version of koha 03:38 chris then dump the db frmo the old one 03:38 chris import it into the new one 03:38 chris then koha will go, hey, this needs upgrading, and upgrade the db 03:38 jloucks the db is basically empty right now, because the first import was jank. 03:38 jloucks Not worried about that. 03:38 chris and you wont even have to to dthe import 03:38 chris right 03:38 chris well if you dont want to install debian 03:38 chris keep using the vmare image 03:39 chris and just get a new version of koha 03:39 jloucks Yeah, Just need to learn the command line etc. I've used ubuntu a little, and suse a little, and mint a little. 03:39 jloucks But it seems like the commands are always slightly different, and I use them rarely enough that I forget everything 03:40 jloucks going to go find the initial setup guide now and see if I Can install the latest version 03:42 jloucks probably be easier to just start from scrach instead of vmware. Every time I log in as root it automatically starts the koha admin instead of taking me to an elevated cmd line. 03:52 jloucks hmmm... koha user has cmd line... now I'll try the upgrade from here. 03:56 * Genji uses mint.... usually. "Except now, i rigged up a jackd install, and ive got only 2 channel sound, when i should have 6.. so i have ot use windows to watch dvds...." 04:02 jloucks Mint is very nice. 04:02 jloucks I haven't used it a lot, but I have it on my laptop as my linux machine... just trying to get a better feel for linux in general. 04:02 Genji i think mint is the most mature linux ive used. 04:05 jloucks it is great, right off the installer. 04:08 Genji i put debian on another machine because of its ease of creating raid in installer.. but now i have the problem of.. a unprivileged user can't just insert a cd and have it automount.. and it also refuses to mount, too... even using a su'ed terminal...fustrating. 04:15 robin yay, almost have a handler made to allow Apache to authenticate against Koha. But now, beer o'clock has arrived. 04:15 richard oooh beer o'clock 04:17 Genji whats the disadvantage of having libraries vs databases? 04:37 brendan heya #koha 04:51 brendan @wunder 93117 04:51 munin brendan: The current temperature in Northwest Goleta, Goleta, California is 16.3�C (9:57 PM PDT on June 24, 2010).
