23:46 wasabi   its a useful enuff feature, for not too much additional effort, i think
23:45 irma     Thanks wassabi.
23:45 wasabi   it could be
23:44 wasabi   pass
23:44 wasabi   #2 works for bibs, not for auth records
23:42 irma     Is #2) a development for hackfest after KohaCon?
23:42 wasabi   s/know-/no /
23:41 wasabi   its just that know-one has got round to doing it so-far
23:41 irma     goood news indeed
23:41 wasabi   good news, is  that most of the bib-import code is reusable for auth-import...
23:41 irma     2) Via z39.50 one by one record downloads is currently not a feature  of Koha
23:40 irma     1) bulk import of authority records can be done but data is out of date as soon as the import has taken place
23:40 wasabi   ... via the gui
23:40 wasabi   looks like z39 search/import for auths is missing from koha-head
23:39 irma     Issues as I see them:
23:39 irma     not sure how easy that would be for the cataloguing team to do on a regular basis.
23:39 wasabi   catalog workflow does differ between libraries, it seems..
23:39 irma     and in this way keep the Thesaurus up to date
23:38 wasabi   yeah, i understand..
23:37 irma     a bulk import of auth records would have to be regularly updated
23:37 irma     as she then download the latest auth record for that author for example
23:36 irma     somehow the cataloguing workflow works better if the cataloguer can download a auth record at a time
23:35 irma     I confirm that importing a auth record via web-gui handles the auth record as if it is a bib record ...
23:35 wasabi   mail me one, i can try...
23:34 wasabi   fyi: i dont have ATM any auth records to test a web-import
23:32 wasabi   2) ./bulkauthimport.pl -f ./your-new-auth-records.mrc
23:32 wasabi   1) get your marc records from lib-oz
23:31 wasabi   your task is easier if spilt into two
23:30 wasabi   pull records from natlib-nz via z39 on isbn, then import
23:29 wasabi   for HLT
23:29 wasabi   i wrote a similar script to do what you want, for bib records...
23:28 wasabi   pass, i have only imported auth records 100k  at a time, from ./bulkauthimport.pl tool
23:27 irma     Thanks wasabi. So ... There is no way to import (one by one) authority records from an external db (Libraries Australia authority db in our case) via z39.50, into the auth_header table ...
23:17 wasabi   my hunch is importing via the gui only handles bibs, not auth records
23:15 * wasabi assumes you are importing auth-records via the web-gui, which i've never tried...
23:14 wasabi   irma: take a look at  the ./misc/migration_tools/bulkauthimport.pl tool , too
22:23 irma     Wishing you a good day - Irma waves at Jo
22:22 irma     :-( thanks Jo
22:22 jo       I get Chris to do that stuff for me :)
22:22 irma     Can I borrow your cataloguer fro an hour?
22:22 jo       I don't know sorry
22:21 irma     which is what I should should happen
22:21 irma     but they do not populate table auth_header
22:21 irma     I am trying to nail the downloading of authority records from Libraries Australia
22:20 irma     Re work
22:20 irma     good U r not in Christchurch...poor people who lost their homes
22:19 jo       I'm great
22:18 irma     hi Jo... How are you?
22:03 jo       waves at Irma :)
21:55 irma     Is that the right table?
21:55 irma     How come that when I import an authority record from another db it does not populate auth_header?
21:53 irma     I have a question about auth_header ...
21:53 irma     Good morning all
20:33 richard  hi
19:12 cait     it's a sys pref
19:11 cait     you can overwrite the other css files with the statements there
19:11 cait     zico: it's easier to use opacusercss
18:31 zico     I am looking at "opac.css" in ~/koha/opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/opac.css
18:30 zico     is it possible?
18:30 zico     friends, I want to change the color of default blue search bar of koha
18:29 zico     hello all
