Time Nick Message 23:11 robin now just to wait until it gets into testing. 23:11 chris sweet 23:09 robin yay, looks like the zebra fix will be getting an exception to the Debian freeze. 22:57 rhcl We used to take our dry cell batteries to Lowe's (a large home improvement chain here in the US) but they stopped taking them. Nearly all batteries like that have been mercury free for a number of years, so they're not quite as bad to trash as before, but it would be nice to find someone who could do something better than that with them. 22:28 jcamins Good night, #koha 22:03 larsw jcamins, oh, that's right, I remember noticing that 22:03 jcamins That's the law in NY, too. 22:03 larsw (that's a business opportunity for battery recyclers if anyone wants to figure out a way to fund Koha development ;) 22:03 chilts larsw: that's a good idea 22:02 larsw chris, you'll want to suggest to your MP that NZ get the same law as many European countries have: any store that sells batteries must accept used ones and make sure they get disposed of responsibly 22:02 chilts I mean, there has to be some kind of trust somewhere 22:02 chris yeah 22:02 chilts chris: dunno, but then how can we check what anyone does with our rubbish 22:01 larsw chilts, I'll do that today, then, thanks! 22:01 chilts they take mobile phones and stuff, so I asked about batteries and they said yeah 22:01 chris what do they do with them? throw them in my stream? :) 22:01 chilts yep 22:01 chris you AA, and AAA batteries? 22:01 chilts you are lucky, it had taken me 4 years to find out what to do :) 22:01 chilts larsw: I took mine to the Telecom shop in Duke's Arcade!!! 21:56 larsw (as reasonable as is possible, given that I've given in and bought some) 21:55 larsw they're toxic waste, so I'd like to do something reasonable 21:55 richard if you put them in the dump they end up leaching into the stream that runs by chris' place 21:55 * richard doesn't know of a nice way to get rid of those 21:54 richard ah 21:54 richard last year there was a stink about them pumping lead into the air from their car battery recycling operateions 21:54 larsw AA and AAA batteries, that is, not laptop or car batteries 21:54 richard is exide still going in petone 21:53 chris i dont, richard do you? 21:53 chris hmm good question 21:52 larsw (sorry for the off-topicness) 21:52 larsw chris, robin: would you happen to know what the responsible way to get rid of batteries is in Wellington? 21:27 munin moodaepo: The current temperature in MSU Physics Dept, Mankato, Minnesota is 21.3�C (4:38 PM CDT on August 25, 2010).

I need to figure out how to a) disable that server on boot, and b) somehow get into it in a safe way to find the problem 19:51 chris I've used it, far from expert tho 19:51 jcamins I am not, but I can relay your questions to one of my other IRC channels where there are people who know about Xen. 19:50 sekjal anyone here happen to be an Xen expert? 19:50 jcamins Welcome back. 19:50 cait wb chris 19:48 chris Back 19:33 cait owen++ 19:30 chris bbiab 19:30 chris right bus time 19:30 cait hard to read the old script 19:28 cait picture 19:28 cait oh, they even have a picute 19:26 cait oh, perhaps I had a timeout earlier 19:26 jcamins When you search VD17 directly, it lists two issues. 19:26 cait not sure, but got no results there 19:26 LBA hey Chris! 19:25 jcamins Ooh, why didn't I check VD17? 19:24 cait check the column Germany and it will search all the big union catalogs 19:24 chris hi LBA 19:23 jcamins I can do the search. 19:22 cait can't post you the link to the search result, it's too long for my link shortener 19:22 cait http://www.ubka.uni-karlsruhe.de/kvk/kvk/kvk_en.html good for research 19:21 cait yep 19:18 jcamins Or at least multiple issues (same text, different title page). :) 19:17 jcamins There may be multiple editions of it, although probably not. 19:16 cait jcamins: I am checking our big union catalogs for your title right now - at the moment it's 2:1 for Emblematisch ;) 19:16 jcamins (just checked my e-mail) 19:16 jcamins I hope the patron who I told we were open Wednesday didn't come in to the ANS. 19:15 jcamins Wait, is today Wednesday? Okay, day after tomorrow. 19:15 jcamins No doubt about it. 19:13 cait one of us crazy librarians :) 19:13 cait jcamins: you are really one of us :) 19:12 jcamins cait: if it makes you feel any better about my sense of priorities, I just came across a _beautiful_ Thou binding with a 3-color manuscript from, probably, the fifteenth or sixteenth century used as binder's waste. :) 19:10 jcamins Thanks. 19:10 sekjal whoa, just came back in to jcamin's news. Congratulations!! 19:06 jcamins True. 19:06 jwagner On the bright side, that keeps the stress level down, I'd think. 19:05 jcamins Apparently I forgot to tell, well, anyone in the end-of-semester rush last spring, and then I forgot that I hadn't told anyone. 19:05 jcamins Thank you all. 19:05 wizzyrea congratulations! 19:05 wizzyrea !! jcamins! 19:04 jcamins But, yes. 19:04 jcamins It's only 15:15. 19:04 jwagner Now THAT'S a bachelor party! 19:04 cait and you are spending the evening before your wedding with cataloging real old German books? 19:04 chris congrats jcamins :) 19:04 jwagner Congrats! 19:04 jcamins Thanks. 19:04 larsw jcamins, congratulations! 19:04 cait oh, congratulation :) 19:03 jcamins I'm getting married tomorrow. 19:03 jcamins Oh, right. 19:03 jcamins Yes. 19:03 cait a wedding? 19:03 jcamins Maybe I should just make a proper cake. 19:03 cait but my twitter contact said it did 19:03 jcamins Hm. 19:03 jcamins And I could always give excess cake to my parents and brothers when they come to visit for the wedding tomorrow. 19:03 cait tell me if it works :) 19:02 jcamins That's so cute I may have to make those, even though there are enough people to eat a cake. 19:01 cait right :) 19:01 jcamins But you said you had a teeny oven, right? 19:01 jcamins Aww, that's adorable! 19:00 cait jared: http://content.no-ip.org/Stuff/1278623146661.jpg and I have no microwave... 18:59 cait but not sure about the rules here :) 18:59 cait would have been my guess too 18:58 jcamins Oh, that says that emblematischer doesn't need to be capitalized. Thanks! 18:57 cait http://swb.bsz-bw.de/DB=2.1/PPNSET?PPN=031821863 18:56 cait and it's even one of our records 18:56 jcamins Everything's in capital letters. 18:56 cait hmpf 18:56 cait not sure what marc21 says, but I think you can use the way it's written on the book? 18:55 jcamins Yeah, it's a book about medals to do with the Dutch Wars of Independence. 18:54 cait a box with medals and explanation of them? 18:53 cait it means box 18:53 cait I think kasten makes more sense 18:53 cait no problem 18:53 jcamins Yes. Oh, sorry, I should've mentioned that. 18:53 cait ok, that's old 18:51 jcamins http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/256705940 18:50 jcamins Maybe that wiggly thing is supposed to mean there's an 'n' at the end. 18:50 jcamins Ooh, perhaps I mistyped it. 18:50 jcamins Neither do I. I'll find the Worldcat record. 18:50 cait Kasten perhaps? 18:49 cait can you show me the title? 18:49 cait I dont really understand it 18:49 cait oh 18:46 jcamins cait: if you have a moment for a German question, should all the words in the title "Historisch-Emblematischer Medaillen-Kaste" be capitalized? 18:45 * jwagner admits certain OTHER words are in my personal vocabulary during projects like this.... 18:44 jwagner Those words aren't in our vocabulary :-) 18:44 owen It would have been easier to tell them, "Sorry, can't do that!" 18:44 jwagner And that's not all their libraries, just the ones they wanted to do at this time. 18:44 jwagner Yep. 18:44 owen 16 in one organization? 18:43 * jwagner is working on 16 interfaces -- shuffling stylesheets like mad.... 18:43 jwagner Hey owen, FYI -- when I was asking the other day about stylesheets for the multiple URL setup? It does just need the equiv of the opaccolorstylesheet, not the full opac.css. 18:42 cait hi owen, hi jwagner :) 18:42 jwagner Hi cait 18:42 owen Hi cait 18:41 cait hi all 18:21 briceSanc and they looks like that after import : e' 18:20 briceSanc Have you ever had encoding problems when importing Marc21 authorities ? My accent looks like that before import: {grave}e to �. 18:00 owen Wouldn't it be nice if all these people who want to install Koha 2 on Windows would support each other for a change? 17:31 sekjal in hindsight, it's easier to just skip the corrupted records for now, and deal with them if they come up in later scripts. that way I can keep moving forward with the day's work 16:56 slef np 16:56 jcamins Cool. Thanks. 16:55 slef misc/cronjobs/cleanup_database.pl 16:55 jcamins Probably. I've never felt the need to truncate the log, I was just asking for clarification. ;) 16:55 slef some things are in database, some are in files 16:54 rhcl_tng I was assuming it was just a flat file somewhere, like system logs 16:54 slef jcamins: ah. If it's those ones, there's a script which truncates, isn't there? 16:54 sekjal slef: got to get the corrupted fields out first... hang on... trying something 16:54 jcamins slef: but isn't the log stored in the database? 16:53 rhcl_tng expunge beginning at a size or date point is probably better wording 16:53 slef :) 16:53 slef oof! 16:53 rhcl_tng terminate at a size or date point? 16:53 slef (what would koha do when it hit maxlogsize anyway?) 16:52 rhcl_tng ok i mean 16:52 rhcl_tng pk, tnx 16:52 slef rhcl_tng: no, it's the wrong place to set it. Configure logrotate. 16:52 slef sekjal: or actually something more like $dbh = C4::Context->dbh; $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT marc FROM biblioitems WHERE biblionumber = N"); $sth->execute(); C4::Biblio::ModBiblioMarc($sth->fetchrow()); 16:50 rhcl_tng it appears that currently there is no way to set a maxlogsize for things like Letterlog, BorrowersLog, CataloguingLog --is there generally no problem with logs getting too large? Would it be nice to have an option to set a maxlogsize on the System Preferences -> Logging Preferences page? 16:48 slef sekjal: alternative approach would be to C4::Biblio::ModBiblioMarc(a copy of C4::Biblio::GetMarcBiblio that uses the marc field instead of the marcxml one) 16:40 sekjal slef: got it, thanks! 16:39 slef sekjal: on its way 16:39 jcamins (one that matches 999c to the biblionumber index) 16:38 jcamins You may need to create a new matching rule. I don't quite remember. 16:37 sekjal 999c does seem to be in there 16:37 sekjal jcamins: hmm... that could do it 16:37 sekjal slef: ian.walls@bywatersolutions.com will work 16:36 slef sekjal: where do you want it? 16:36 jcamins SELECT biblioitems.marc TO OUTFILE `example.mrc` (or whatever the proper syntax is), make sure the 999$c is there, then reimport, enabling overlay? 16:34 sekjal slef: if you don't mind, I'd take a look at it. It might give me a better place to start 16:33 jcamins Hm. 16:33 jcamins Oh. 16:33 slef I can give you this script, but it needs work to operate directly on the database fields. 16:33 sekjal records won't export, since the .mrc is generated from biblioitems.marcxml 16:32 jcamins sekjal: export the records, then reimport? 16:32 slef wow 16:32 sekjal can't get to the cataloguing editor; records won't load because the MARCXML is bad 16:31 slef that provokes both marc and marcxml to be rebuilt IIRC 16:31 slef if db records ok, quickest way right now is to do a no-change edit on the record in cataloguing 16:31 slef sekjal: does it have to be rebuilt from the MARC and not the db records? 16:30 slef oh wait 16:30 slef that's not particularly quick, actually, because you have to save the marc fields to a file, convert them, then load them back into marcxml 16:28 slef sekjal: I'll sell you my marc21xml.pl ;-) 16:25 sekjal does anyone know a quick way to rebuild the marcxml field in biblioitems from the marc? I have 11 records out of sync 16:01 jcamins I meant, switching from Local Use, everything except for cataloging works. 16:01 wizzyrea ok I'll report that then 16:01 jcamins Yeah, for me too. 16:01 wizzyrea at least for me 16:01 wizzyrea cataloging works as long as you don't switch from local use 16:00 jcamins Everything except for Cataloging works. 16:00 wizzyrea ok whew, now I don't feel so nuts 15:59 jcamins I tested OPAC and Administration earlier. 15:59 jcamins Ooh, no, that one's broken. 15:59 wizzyrea can you do that? 15:59 wizzyrea switch from localuse to Cataloging 15:59 wizzyrea jcamins 15:59 wizzyrea ok 15:58 jcamins Nope, I'm not. 15:58 jcamins Actually, I may be a few commits behind HEAD. 15:58 wizzyrea that it may be my data. 15:58 wizzyrea actually 15:58 wizzyrea I have a sense 15:58 wizzyrea haha 15:58 slef someone has broken your koha while you slept 15:57 wizzyrea it's just me :) 15:57 wizzyrea weird, ok, thank you for checking 15:57 jcamins It works for me. 15:57 wizzyrea and you click on any tab except Local Use, it works fine to click between them 15:56 wizzyrea but if you are on any tab besides local use 15:56 wizzyrea Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at /usr/lib/perl5/YAML/Syck.pm line 72. 15:56 wizzyrea and it gave this: Software error: 15:56 wizzyrea then I tried to click any other tab 15:56 wizzyrea and I clicked on "Local Use" 15:56 wizzyrea i'm looking at the sysprefs on current HEAD 15:56 wizzyrea that's interesting 15:56 wizzyrea hmm 15:43 Phil nevermind... ill find a workaround 15:36 Phil do you think I can still install it on a 64 bits system ? 15:36 Phil the KOC is only available in 32 bits ? 15:27 Phil that's very interesting ... thank you very much ! 15:25 sekjal we have a data standard for Offline Circ information, so new modules can always be written 15:24 Danke slef, will do :) 15:24 Phil k 15:24 sekjal Phil: there are actually two different offline circ tools: Kyle's (which we've linked) and Kivutar's Firefox extension (which seems broken at the moment) 15:24 slef Danke: add yourself to http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_Users_Worldwide#Europe when you feel confident enough ;-) 15:23 slef That's one heck of a big typo. 15:23 owen Not unfortunately. That's a typo :) 15:22 owen Unfortunately http://millruntech.com/koha/koha-tools/koha-offline-circulation 15:22 slef rhcl The Next Generation? 15:22 wajasu the XSLTDetails doesn't have the "Published by:" publisher as a link as the non XSLT code does. Shall I add a bug? 15:22 Phil oh thank you ! 15:22 Phil is there documentation about it ? 15:22 sekjal http://kylehall.info/index.php/projects/koha-tools/koha-offline-circulation/ 15:22 owen There's a bug report saying the Firefox plugin doesn't work. I don't know beyond that. 15:21 slef anyone else know offline? 15:21 Phil k 15:21 slef but he's not here right now (US time I think) 15:21 slef and that's not something I know well... kyle is the nick to talk to here 15:21 slef Phil: you'd be better off using the offline client I suspect 15:21 Phil can koha be used by roaming librarians ?... i mean can you take your own copy of the database with you... lend some books, come back and synchronize with the main database ? 15:20 Danke ah, hello all the way from devon! haha 15:20 slef Danke: greetings from Somerset! 15:20 slef kf: but it's actually a ytpo of self. 15:20 Danke yep, the south west 15:20 slef kf: my nickname means spit in Icelandic or some other language. 15:19 slef hi Danke - are you in England as well as from it? 15:18 sekjal Phil: sure is. what can we help you with? 15:18 Phil Hi... is this the right place to ask a general question about koha ? 15:17 Danke when i go to add a new record in the cataloging section, i barely understand what i'm being asked for 15:16 kf :) 15:15 Danke ah, i see. i'd like to simplify the cataloging as much as humanly possible... the users are mostly techophobes 15:15 owen Creating a new framework is tedious, so don't undertake it lightly 15:14 owen Danke: You would only create a MARC framework if you were going to catalog a lot of them and the existing frameworks didn't work well for you 15:13 Danke ahh... unfortunately, i'm not 15:13 paul_p (& kf is german, as her nick don't say ;-) ) 15:13 Danke i'm from england 15:13 Danke yep, a happy accident in my real name i noticed one day 15:13 kf I wonder because your name means thank you in German :) 15:12 Danke i've created an item type, do i create a marc framework for them too? 15:12 kf where are you from? 15:12 Danke hello 15:12 kf hallo Danke 15:12 Danke sounds like it would be :) 15:12 wizzyrea let me find you an example record for that 15:12 wizzyrea maybe it would be similar? 15:12 wizzyrea we have a collection of cake pans in our collection 15:11 wizzyrea hmm 15:11 Danke How do i go about cataloging children's toys? I'm guessing the z39.50 client won't be helpful there 15:01 kf but you can create them 15:01 kf if you have no categories for LOST etc. they were not imported during install 15:00 kf yes 14:59 aarkerio in "Basic parameters > Authorized values" screen? 14:59 kf asort is always empty, it's a custom field for acquisitions 14:59 kf check the categories I listed for you 14:58 aarkerio in "Authorized values for category Asort1" are no values 14:58 kf NOTFORLOAN, LOC, CCODE, LOST, WITHDRAWN 14:58 kf if the values are nto there, they can not be displayed 14:57 kf check your authorized values for LOST 14:57 aarkerio yes 14:57 kf aarkerio: have you chosen to import them during install? 14:56 aarkerio but why I can not see the options like "Withdrawn status" in "Add item" screen: http://mononeurona.org/img/imgusers/aarkerio_2053.png 14:47 owen Not that I know of. You can safely ignore it. 14:46 aarkerio some wiki page? 14:46 owen No 14:44 aarkerio there is some .sql file with "Authorized values Asort1" samples? 14:33 wizzyrea we really ought to force more of those in I think 14:33 * wizzyrea has noted that it's a lot easier to deal with a brand new koha if you import many of the default values. 14:32 aarkerio ok! 14:32 owen installer/data/mysql/en/optional/sample_itemtypes.sql if you want some default item types 14:31 aarkerio perfect! I will import the tables, thx a lot! 14:30 owen installer/data/mysql/en/optional/auth_val.sql (for the English version) 14:29 owen There is. The web installer should have offered to install some defaults for you. 14:29 aarkerio mmm, no, there is a "default" structure values can I import? 14:26 owen aarkerio: Have you configured your authorised values for things like "withdrawn," "lost," etc.? 14:26 aarkerio http://mononeurona.org/img/imgusers/aarkerio_2053.png 14:26 aarkerio hi! I'm trying to import some record after Z39.50 search, but item options are not displayed properly: 14:24 wizzyrea hey owen :) 14:24 owen Hi wizzyrea 14:24 wizzyrea right? 14:24 wizzyrea there hasn't been a change to mainline where due and predue notices are added to the overdues email 14:04 wajasu i wrote a bash script and package for archlinux and deployed to a lxc-container. but if i did it with puppet, and we checked it in git to be shared, only the different dependencies for debian, ubuntu, etc would need tweeking. Plus it would be a common language to communicate what is intended. 14:00 magnus cool, i have heard a lot about puppet, but havn't had time to look into it yet. sounds like a lot of work initially, though? 13:57 wajasu yes. 13:57 magnus wajasu: wouldn't it be possible to use puppet anywhere? 13:53 wajasu if i code all that metadta that is in the makefile install and INSTALL.* and how to get and build packages for the perlmodules with version and dependency management, it might be a push button excercise to deploy and update koha. OpenQRM has puppet integration, so we can deploy in the cloud or lxc-containers. and developers can deploy for testing. 13:50 magnus wajasu: cool! 13:26 wajasu explores using puppet for configure koha, then installs/updates on various distributions, etc could be checked in and shared. 13:26 jcamins kf: if you're around, the answer to your earlier question is that Koha kind of supports COiNS. 13:23 jcamins That's what I get for getting distracted in the middle of saying something on another channel. 13:23 jcamins_a Sorry about that. 13:23 jcamins_a david: often /nick jcamins 13:23 magnus g'day jcamins_a 13:20 jcamins_a Good morning, #koha 12:22 magnus hiya owen 12:18 owen Hi #koha 12:02 kf oh and similar titles 12:01 kf it had review, cover and other editions 12:01 kf hmpf. one of my libraries deleted my favourite example for enhanced content :( 12:00 kf hi Amit 11:49 Amit hi hdl 11:49 hdl hi amit 11:49 hdl hi amit 11:46 munin Amit: The current temperature in Bangalore, India is 22.0�C (2:30 PM IST on August 25, 2010).

Should I edit the bug to include INSTALL.fedora7 as well OR create a new big for it. 09:57 wajasu will create a new account. 09:48 wajasu i can't remember. was there a migration from an old bugzilla. do i need to reregister or do the forgot password thing. 09:17 magnus kf: yup 09:17 kf I think we will come back to ils-di soon 09:16 kf magnus: there is always room for improvement, but it's nice to have the doc in the opac 09:15 magnus kf: yeah, it would probably be good if the doc was a bit more specific... 09:15 magnus (it seems odd that id_type is used to specify "the metadata schema" for that call, but "type of record identifier" for GetAvailability...) 09:14 kf perhaps doc should look similar to getAvailability then 09:13 kf ah ok 09:13 magnus kf: http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=blob;f=C4/ILSDI/Services.pm;hb=HEAD#l145 "Given a list of biblionumbers, returns a list of record objects that contain bibliographic information" 09:13 kf quite possible 09:12 kf perhaps 09:10 magnus kf: i *think* id = biblionumber 09:08 CGI429 hii 09:04 magnus kf: np, be my guest! 09:04 kf sorry magnus to use your url, but my installation is behind a firewall 09:03 kf http://head.bibkat.no/cgi-bin/koha/ilsdi.pl?service=Describe&verb=GetRecords 08:59 slef looking at GetRecords where? 08:55 kf looking at GetRecords - what is id (Required) list of system record identifiers? 08:53 kf magnus: good idea, I will make a note to do that, but perhaps look at all ils-di functions first 08:53 kf magnus: not sure how it works, but hope it's not too hard to do 08:52 * magnus put in an enhancement bug for it? 08:52 magnus kf: ok, i hadn't thought about that... shouldn't be too hard to do marc 001 too? 08:52 kf our ill system does not have those 08:51 kf if I understand the documentation correctly 08:51 kf magnus: yes 08:50 magnus kf: it's just the biblionumber or or the biblioitemnumber? 08:48 kf I am grateful that our union catalog takes care of such things, not so much nonsense in our data 08:48 chris and looking at a lot of records, thats what ppl have done :) 08:48 chris but you can type nonsense in 08:47 kf slef: no, only 003 with sys pref MarcORGCode and koha does not generate an id 08:47 chris its a compulsory field in the default framework, so unless you change that koha will force you to put a value in 08:45 kf slef: I am not sure, we import them with 040 set 08:45 slef Which reminds me: does/should Koha update a field in 040 with the library's MARC code when a record is edited? 08:45 kf magnus: ils-di looks good to me, but it would be even more useful if id_type could be marc 001 too 08:44 slef recently, to see if openbibliography can figure out anything about the licensing of a record. 08:44 munin slef: The MARC code for or the name of the organization(s) that created the original bibliographic record, assigned MARC content designation and transcribed the record into machine-readable form, or modified (except for the addition of holdings symbols) an existing MARC record. These data and the code in 008/39 (Cataloging source) specify the parties responsible for the bibliographic record. [a,b,c,d,e,6,8] 08:44 slef @marc 040 08:44 slef I've been looking at that and 08:42 wajasu so "Not fiction" seems to be standard then. thx kf. 08:42 magnus kf: np 08:41 kf magnus: thx for the links, this is really great to know 08:41 kf so perhaps parsing marcxml is another way to go... hm! 08:41 magnus kf: sure! 08:40 kf magnus: yes we were thinking about ils-di too - but available in library is not always the same as available for ill 08:40 munin chris: This field contains 40 character positions (00-39) that provide coded information about the record as a whole and about special bibliographic aspects of the item being cataloged. These coded data elements are potentially useful for retrieval and data management purposes. [] 08:40 chris @marc 008 08:39 kf slef: @marc 008 08:39 kf wajasu: hm looking at marc 21 perhaps I was wrong: http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd008b.html 08:38 slef often MARC21 isn't that specific about terms 08:38 slef anyway, look it up at http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/ 08:37 munin slef: Error: "you" is not a valid command. 08:37 slef munin: you suck 08:37 munin slef: Error: "what" is not a valid command. 08:37 slef munin: what is MARC21 08:37 munin slef: Error: "MARC21?" is not a valid command. 08:37 slef munin: MARC21? 08:37 magnus kf: ils-di has a call called GetAvailability: http://head.bibkat.no/cgi-bin/koha/ilsdi.pl?service=Describe&verb=GetAvailability 08:37 kf and I think the terms used are from MARC21 08:37 slef magnus: heheh 08:36 kf wajasu: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-fiction 08:36 magnus kf: http://lists.katipo.co.nz/pipermail/koha/2010-February/022607.html 08:36 kf non fiction 08:36 wajasu would anyone here know if the Literary Form: should be "not fiction" or "non fiction" ? Is a cataloguer here? 08:35 kf we talked about an API to check availability for ILL requests 08:34 kf is there a way to get the availability information as xml too? 08:34 magnus slef: i just said i didn't know when i would be there, not why... 08:34 wajasu kf: thanks. 08:34 kf cool! 08:34 kf yep, just figured out 08:33 magnus kf: the format parameter can be any of these: http://head.bibkat.no/cgi-bin/koha/unapi (guess that was a bit more info than what you actually wanted... ;-) 08:32 magnus kf: here's a live example: http://head.bibkat.no/cgi-bin/koha/unapi?id=koha:biblionumber:2&format=oai_dc 08:32 kf thx magnus! 08:30 magnus kf: http://git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=koha.git;a=commit;h=391a6d32619978aa3c1e624743479a0d3fe45f89 08:29 kf ok, the installation I was testing is a bit behidn current head 08:28 magnus kf: HEAD gives a good reply to http://head.bibkat.no/cgi-bin/koha/unapi, but older versions don't... 08:28 kf the second 08:28 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2704 major, PATCH-Sent, ---, oleonard, ASSIGNED, 440 Display Issues 08:28 kf ah sorry, bug 2704 08:28 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2794 normal, P3, ---, chris, RESOLVED FIXED, Browse Shelf doesn't work with ISBN containing '-' 08:28 kf bug 2794 08:27 kf wajasu: I think it has not been pushed yet 08:27 kf magnus: yeah, but my browser shows me coins is used for zotero (tool tip of icon in url field) 08:27 wajasu so i should just git pull again. 08:26 kf wajasu: I tested it 08:26 kf wajasu: there was already a patch sent for that problem 08:26 wajasu serries tracing 08:26 magnus kf: there is support for unAPI. have a look at the source for record-page in the OPAC: <link rel="unapi-server" type="application/xml" title="unAPI" href="http://demo.bibkat.no/cgi-bin/koha/unapi" /> 08:26 kf slef: yes, but it's both there, I wanted to know what is actually working now :) 08:26 slef wajasu: depends what @ind means :) 08:25 slef kf: could search manual and archives for for unAPI 08:25 wajasu ok. i see the reason for my Series: field in the XSLTDetails biblio having no data showing is because the XSLT rule is only for @ind=0 and my example record has @ind=1. Should the rule handle both types? either 0 or 1? 08:25 kf I think zotero can use both, as other services can 08:25 slef I thought it was CoINS that made it work with zotero 08:25 kf yes, with coins it works too 08:24 chris well it works with zotero 08:24 kf I think unApi has more information and is used for zotero 08:23 slef kf: I think it does CoINS if the templates used are OK. I don't remember what unAPI is. 08:23 * kf writing text for our flyer 08:23 kf does koha support unAPI and CoINS? 08:23 slef yeah, I wrote that I wasn't sure when because I was arriving on the koha road trip and got "what's that?" sort of questions back :-D 08:22 magnus slef: huh? i told her i will be arriving on the sunday, but i'm not sure when 08:20 slef magnus: hadn't you told booklovers about the road trip? I'm getting questions... 08:18 chris most people in nz will never have a wero performed for them, it usually is for visiting dignatories and heads of state etc, so we are pretty privileged 08:18 magnus sounds good 08:17 chris magnus: part of the cost for the trip is for the koha (the rest for the bus) 08:15 kf magnus: google helps :) 08:14 magnus "Koha – a gift, generally an envelope of money" ;-) 08:13 magnus chris: wow, that sounds... completely... translateable? ;-) 08:13 chris http://www.korero.maori.nz/forlearners/protocols/powhiri.html 08:11 chris yup 08:11 chris also, the trip to levin keeps getting better, the marae want to do a full powhiri, complete with wero, and a hangi for dinner 08:11 slef fixed as in clarified the 28th? 08:10 chris and i fixed the index page of the kohacon site 08:08 chris slef: i only barely understand procmail, my brain is too full to try and cram more in there 08:08 kf morning magnus 08:07 slef .procmailrc is so 1990s... aren't you using Sieve yet? (although I can't remember if Sieve can pipe OTTOMH :-D ) 08:06 magnus hiya chris, kf & #koha 08:06 chris hi magnus 08:05 chris but id probably screw it up 08:05 chris i could maybe try and make a .procmailrc for that address too 08:04 slef the koha bugzilla... no, it's a reply to a comment... I'll use the web when I'm out of my inbox then 08:03 chris slef 08:03 chris bug-submit 08:02 kf http://richardsayers.com.au/2010/08/library-thought-leaders/ 08:00 chris lemme find out 08:00 chris but there is an email address you can mail 08:00 chris the koha bugzilla? i dont think so 07:59 larsw chris, those sound like good guesses 07:59 slef anyone know if I reply to an email From: bugzilla-daemon, will it appear in the bug? 07:59 chris larsw: im guessing a kereru and a kea (or maybe kaka) 07:57 slef larsw: so I saw. What's with that? Your head feel like it's full of birdseed after a flight again? 07:56 slef chris: my main complaints with qmail was user-unfriendliness, combined with a licence for ages that hindered fixes for that. If it was just a silly licence, it wouldn't have been quite so annoying ;-) 07:56 larsw (I leave identification of birds to my SO :) 07:55 larsw chris, some kind of parrot and some kind of pidgeon, both native to NZ 07:54 kf larsw: I thought this was only happening to the princesses in disney movies :) 07:50 chris what type of birds? 07:50 chris so i see 07:50 chris heh 07:48 larsw chris, nope, I've been too busy having birds sit on me, still catching up with the Internet 07:48 chris larsw: did you see http://passthesource.org.nz/2010/08/25/cloudy-horizons/ 07:48 chris an fredericd 07:47 chris heya larsw :) 07:47 larsw hola 07:47 kf #koha is waking up :) 07:47 kf hi fredercd and larsw 07:44 fredericd good morning all 07:42 kf hi chris :) 07:42 chris evening 07:25 brendan have a great day all :) 07:24 brendan alright - night all - I think I've killed him - good and dead for tonight 07:23 kf hdl: no problem :) 07:19 hdl kf: thanks 07:18 kf hdl: wrote back to paul right now, booked at travelodge 07:18 kf marc-must-die.info 07:17 hdl (It has been claimed dead for ages now... librarians, please, please, do kill him) :D 07:16 brendan heh 07:16 hdl MARC and the rise of the dead.... loook It is still moving its toes :D 07:13 brendan at least yet 07:13 brendan not too bad 07:13 kf brendan: I hope it's not MARC nightmares that keep you awake 07:11 hdl MARC ... 07:11 hdl ah.... 07:10 brendan MARC is keeping me awake 07:10 brendan nope just up late 07:10 hdl are you in a European timezone ? 07:10 hdl hi brendan.. 07:09 brendan heya hdl 07:03 hdl hi kf 07:03 kf morning hdl 06:58 kf morning brendan :) 06:57 brendan heya kf 06:57 kf morning #koha 05:52 munin Amit: The current temperature in Dehradun, India is 23.0�C (8:30 AM IST on August 25, 2010).

(i.e. as in ISBD view) 01:40 wajasu 260a is missing (i.e. publisher location a.k.a London) 01:39 wajasu and some 6xx and 8xx fields too. My librarian will be happier. 01:28 wajasu ah, and the 505 fields are there now. 01:27 wajasu I see they got rid of the trailing "/" delimeter for the XSLT results title. (Ah but its there for the corresponding right to left language title still). And its there in the XSLT details still. 01:21 wajasu if not, I'll log a bug for that. It was there 3 wks ago. 01:20 wajasu The XSLT is there for it. But nothing showing. Maybe a bug was introduced? If you are running a dev install. Can someone pull up any Series item and see the Series text? 01:17 wajasu And comparing my older version, I see that Series: has no field data showing. Just the Label for the same reocrd. 01:17 chris you'd have to ask a cataloguer that ;) 01:15 wajasu shouldn't the field being shown as Literary Form: not fiction be Literary Form: non fiction? not vs non 01:14 wajasu more stuff showing on XSLT details/results. 01:14 wajasu ok. got my dev install running. 00:19 chris yeah 00:15 robin well, I'm under the impression that it is. Lots of high-quality sites (eg. at companies, universities) linking to you is a good thing. 00:14 darling ah! is that where the ranking is coming from? -- lot's of existing public installations pointing back to poo url 00:12 robin darling: the best way is to wait until links start to change. Especially if you can get public catalogues to have a link back to it by default. 00:06 munin Braedon: The current temperature in Auckland, New Zealand is 15.0�C (12:00 PM NZST on August 25, 2010).
