Anyone able to help a desperate koha user with z39.50 MARC import errors? 12:43 jcamins LastBoyScout: ask your question, and if anyone can help, s/he will. 12:44 LastBoyScout Thanks. Running Koha 3.2.5 12:44 LastBoyScout I'm getting the following error on SOME z39.50 imports 12:44 LastBoyScout All arguments must be MARC::Field objects at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl line 151 12:44 jcamins Where are you importing from? 12:45 LastBoyScout I have explored whether this is a encoding issue (tried changing the z39.50 server config) 12:45 JesseM morning #Koha 12:45 LastBoyScout I've tried a few, but predominantly LOC and Monash 12:45 jcamins Hm. I've used LOC without any problems. 12:46 LastBoyScout I suspect this may be an issue with CPAN loaded perl modules conflicting with KOHA - as it was working perfectly 12:46 LastBoyScout ARe there any known issues with some of the CPAN MARC modules? 12:47 jcamins None that I know of, anyway. 12:49 LastBoyScout This error has appeared on the internet a number of times through the years (as per Google search) but I can't find any note of the solution 12:53 kf hi #koha 12:55 jwagner hi kf 12:56 kf hi jwagner :) 12:59 kmkale_a heya kf 13:03 magnuse LastBoyScout: could you give a concrete example where you get the error - which source, which search, which record? 13:03 magnuse guten tag kf 13:29 kf hi magnuse :) 13:29 kf hi kmkale_a :) 13:29 magnuse :-) 13:32 paul_p hello kmkale & al 13:32 kmkale hi paul_p 13:36 pastebot "LastBoyScout" at 41.185.74.205 pasted "MARC record that won't import - example 1 - Binge trading : Freedman, Seth. zconn.lib.monash.edu.au" (40 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/169 13:37 LastBoyScout Hi Magnuse - pasted first example 13:38 LastBoyScout The record is in our reservoir, but gives the error on attempt to import 13:41 pastebot "LastBoyScout" at 41.185.74.205 pasted "MARC record that won't import - example 2 - McKinsey's Marvin Bower : Edersheim, Elizabeth Haas. - z3950.loc.gov" (51 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/170 13:41 LastBoyScout Here's a second record, different z39.50 server, same error 13:41 magnuse LastBoyScout: what do you mean in your reservoir? i thought you said you were copy cataloguing with z39.50? 13:42 LastBoyScout It's in the reservoir after searching using the z39.50 server 13:42 LastBoyScout I have tried importing the search reseult directly or from the reservoir 13:42 LastBoyScout same error 13:43 LastBoyScout Ranji tried helping last night and we eliminated the encoding option set for the z39.50 server and it does not seem to be because of diacriticals 13:44 magnuse LastBoyScout: afaik the reservoir only comes into the picture when you use the "Stage MARC records for import" tool? 13:45 jwagner FYI as a matter of general interest -- from the Unicorn admin listserv, a site to automatically generate a call number cutter: http://calculate.alptown.com/search.html 13:45 LastBoyScout When we've made a successful search using a z39.50 server, all results are stored in the reservoir 13:46 LastBoyScout maybe we're just lucky / unlucky :) 13:48 magnuse hehe... but in my experience searching with z39.50, importing and saving puts the record in the catalogue proper, not in the reservoir... 13:49 LastBoyScout Sure, we just can't import the search result 13:49 LastBoyScout SOME we can 13:49 LastBoyScout I have not successfully debugged the reason 13:50 magnuse and your example 2 comes from LOC? 13:51 * jcamins loses his voice abruptly 13:52 LastBoyScout Indeed 13:52 magnuse LastBoyScout: the second one works fine for me 13:52 LastBoyScout it's definitely a problem on our end - not the MARC record 13:53 kmkale hey shall we start the kohacon volunteers meeting? 13:53 LastBoyScout which is why i suspect a CPAN module 13:53 magnuse LastBoyScout: when do you get the error? when you preview the record, when you click on import, when you save the record from the "marc editor" in koha? 13:53 LastBoyScout when we click on import 13:53 LastBoyScout we can preview fine 13:54 slef kmkale: waiting for you... 13:54 kmkale #startmeeting 13:54 huginn Meeting started Tue Mar 8 14:01:55 2011 UTC.

The 2 parts are really differents (conf & hackfest) 14:00 slef #link http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/KohaCon10_Plan#To_Do_List 14:01 paul_p and I feel we could/should have 3 parts in fact : user conf / new developers conf / hackers conf (new developers interested staying for hackers conf if they want) 14:01 paul_p so what's need to be done is different on those 3 parts 14:01 kmkale thanks slef 14:01 kmkale Let me give a summary of what we are doing at VPM 14:02 kmkale we have organized sub comitees for accommodation, travel assistance, venue organization, food, sponsorships 14:03 kmkale that leaves programm development, scheduling, format etc 14:04 kmkale I have a proposal from VPM people about the format of conference day's 14:04 kmkale 2 sessions per day with lubnch break between them 14:05 kmkale each session of presentations of 15 mins followed by 5 mins q & a 14:05 kmkale 1 plenary on pre decided topic and speaker per session 14:05 kmkale what say? 14:06 slef What are the start/end times of days? 14:07 paul_p kmkale, I think sessions of 15mn is really short. 14:07 slef as in how many presentations per session? 14:07 paul_p I think longer sessions, but less sessions is better. 14:07 kmkale start end times are up to us. can be anything 14:07 kmkale paul_p: suggest time duration be as per presentation 14:07 slef Sorry, I thought a proposal about the format would include that. 14:08 slef I think most at '10 were 30mins 14:08 kmkale depending on how many presentations we get 14:08 mtj hi folks, running a little late… 14:08 kmkale lets say 9.30 am to 4.30 pm day 14:09 kmkale with an hours lunch break 14:09 paul_p do you plan to do a break in the middle of each day ? it's a good idea imho 14:09 slef maybe some people would like to do 15+5 talk+Q and some 5+5 or 50+10, but should we have 25+5 as the default? 14:10 paul_p (socializing++ ++ during KohaCon !!!) 14:10 kmkale with 30 mins sessions that gives us 12 sessions a day 14:10 paul_p (off is as important as ON ;-) ) 14:10 kmkale paul_p: yes a hours lunch break at say 12.30 or 1 pm 14:11 kmkale with a 4.30 close gives us plenty of socializing opp 14:11 paul_p kmkale, I mean a small break at 10 and at 15 (for example) 14:11 paul_p http://www.kohacon10.org.nz/2010/program/day1.html => 1 hour for each speaker usually 14:11 slef I was wrong :) 14:11 slef Never trust my memory. Let that be a lesson to you. 14:11 kmkale yes a tea coffee break in the middle of morning and afternoon halfs? can do 14:11 paul_p ;-) 14:11 gmcharlt 30 minute per session is a bit short in my experience, - 45 is more common 14:11 gmcharlt 30 minutes can be workable, though 14:12 paul_p gmcharlt++ => 45 is better, 30 is workable. 14:12 kmkale its for us to suggest / decide 14:12 gmcharlt one thing I would like to suggest is scheduling one or two lightening talk sessions 14:12 slef gmcharlt: 45 including Q+A or 45+? 14:12 kmkale can be 1 hr. then we can take lesser presentations. IMHO all depends on number of presenters we get. Good papers that is 14:12 gmcharlt 45 including Q+A, scheduled on hourly boundaries to allow time to move between sessions 14:13 paul_p if we have maaannnyyy attendees, do you plan to have sessions splitted in 2 (10:00 speech A in room X and speech B in room Y, then 11:00, repeat). Thus audience would be splitted in 2 14:13 kmkale talk sessions ++ 14:13 gmcharlt (assuming that geographic distance between the session rooms matters in this case) 14:13 paul_p gmcharlt, ++ 14:13 kmkale paul_p: yes if we have more than 2000 attendees and enough speakers 14:13 kmkale sorry make that 200 14:13 kmkale s/2000/200 14:14 paul_p kmkale, remember your goal is 18k attendees :D 14:14 kmkale :) 14:14 slef #link http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf11/ToDo 14:14 paul_p we can also have some lightning talks 14:14 kmkale if you have seen the map link there is a stadium nearby. I will have to apply to the municipal commissioner then for special permission ;) 14:15 gmcharlt kmkale: we'd need to add in some football sessions as well if we end up in the stadium ;) 14:15 kmkale its crecket here gmcharlt 14:15 kmkale cricket 14:15 gmcharlt kmkale: good to know :) 14:16 kmkale so lets say 1 plenary / keynote per 1/2 day session and or a talk session 14:16 atz lightning talk format was highly valuable at code4lib (again) this year. 14:16 slef not sure if anyone except the English ever played football in cricket stadiums much :) 14:16 kmkale talk time duration? 14:16 slef 45 usually, some other options in special sessions 14:16 slef ? 14:17 kmkale each presentation to be of 45 mins with a 10 mins q&a ?? 14:17 gmcharlt kmkale: sounds good to me 14:17 paul_p kmkale, ++ too 14:17 mtj me too :) 14:17 paul_p +5mn move your body to the next conf room ;-) 14:18 kmkale that gives us a target of 4 presentations per day plus one key note and one lightning talk 14:18 kmkale am i correct in my additions? 14:19 paul_p 4 or 5 ? 14:19 wahanui1 5 14:19 kmkale start time 9.30 ok? 14:19 kmkale and close time 4.30 ok? 14:20 slef kmkale: I'd wait and see if lightnings are one per session or best all together. Probably depends what comes in. 14:20 kmkale with a 15 mins tea/coffee break plus an hours lunch break 14:21 kmkale ok that brings us to call for papers. can anyone help in writing it? 14:21 gmcharlt kmkale: I can write a draft 14:21 gmcharlt when do you need it? 14:21 slef gmcharlt: update last year's? 14:21 kmkale gr8 gmcharlt++ 14:21 gmcharlt slef: yep, most likely 14:21 slef gmcharlt: http://kohacon11.vpmthane.org/ocs/index.php/k/k11/author/submit 14:22 kmkale gmcharlt why not send it asap? 14:22 gmcharlt kmkale: OK, I'll send you something to look at later today 14:22 gmcharlt i.e, in the next couple hours 14:22 slef kmkale: submission process needs configuring before the call goes out. 14:22 kmkale I have registrations working so shall we throw the registrations open and announce on the lists? http://kohacon11.vpmthane.org/ocs/index.php/k/k11/schedConf/registration 14:23 kmkale slef: what do you propose? do we have a peer review kinda system? I think we should. 14:23 gmcharlt kmkale: if you're up to it, I'd like to suggest a code4lib-style voting on the presentation proposals 14:24 slef kmkale: also call for help writing travel guides? 14:24 kmkale slef: yep 14:24 * kmkale sucks at writing stuff 14:24 slef kmkale: I would leave it pretty open, but warn there may be a review stage if there are far more talks than can be accommodated? 14:24 kmkale gmcharlt: ":code4lib-style voting on the presentation proposals" how to? 14:25 gmcharlt kmkale: basically, solicit the presentations, then prior to the presentation, hold an open vote of the community to choose which presentations make it to the program 14:25 kmkale at this stage lets get proposals in. then we form a comitee to have a look at whats good 14:25 kmkale aahh 14:25 slef kmkale: spelling error in http://kohacon11.vpmthane.org/ocs/index.php/k/k11/schedConf/registration (should be participants, says dict) 14:26 gmcharlt this assumes, of course, that we get more presentations than slots, which is likely 14:26 kmkale thanks slef 14:26 slef gmcharlt: popularity_contests-- 14:26 kmkale gmcharlt: we may get many from India but with dodgy quality 14:26 kmkale do we propose a theme for papers in the call for papers? 14:27 slef how about... 14:27 slef first of all, call for keynotes, then arrange those into sessions and call for talks on each keynote theme? 14:27 slef or am I making this too complicated when there is less time than ideal? 14:27 kmkale or call for papers and keynotes then arrange them into sessions? 14:28 paul_p could we have more presentations than slot & say ppl would have to decide between speak 1 and 2 ? 14:28 paul_p or say speak 1, 2, 3 are done twice, so everyone will miss 1 (but just one) 14:28 kmkale paul_p: if we have enopugh attendees / speakers we can arrange for parallel sessions 14:29 gmcharlt kmkale: I'd expect that would be quite likely (having parallel sessions) 14:29 gmcharlt the Evergreen conference, for instance, manages 3 tracks of sessions with about ~200 attendees 14:29 kmkale did we have parallel sessions in prewvious kohacons? 14:29 gmcharlt and the KohaCon in Texas had two or three tracks, as I recall 14:29 kmkale great 14:30 kmkale so lets say send out a call for papers and keynotes with a few themes? 14:30 slef It depends on the audience and what comes in. 14:30 kmkale then arrange what we get into sessions? 14:30 kmkale and then decide on parallel sessions etc depending on number 14:31 kmkale any ideas about themes? 14:33 mtj migrations, tuning, hosting 14:33 mtj customising opacs 14:34 paul_p in Paris, we had only 1 session iirc 14:34 slef customising++ 14:34 gmcharlt customizing++ 14:34 mtj not really themes?, but some general ideas 14:34 slef paul_p: I thought there were 2? 14:34 * slef has vague memories of passing out from the heat in the second session 14:34 gmcharlt another idea - spreading Koha; something aimed at convincing administrators to look at it 14:34 paul_p We had only one large room, so I think it was only 1 14:35 slef paul_p: do you mean 1 track? 14:35 kmkale aye spreading koha both to librarians and to developers 14:35 mtj nice idea gmcharlt 14:35 slef paul_p: as in, serial sessions 14:35 paul_p only 1 track, right = http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.com/KohaCon-2-3-Mai-2006-ENSMP-Demandez-le-programme-td3069529.html 14:36 slef gmcharlt: we'd need library consultants to submit it, true 14:36 slef do any of the archives offer us a neat overview of topics/themes discussed over the last year? 14:36 kmkale spreading koha++ 14:37 gmcharlt slef: I don't recall that the Texas conference had a particular theme, as such 14:37 mtj and teaching/encouraging libraries to attempt Koha install/migrations themselves 14:37 kmkale #help gmcharlt to draft call for papers 14:38 paul_p kmkale, do you think attendees will be more "I don't nothing about OSS & Koha" or "I may be interested in Koha, let me know more" ? 14:38 paul_p the programme would/could be different depending on the expected audience. 14:38 slef mtj: I'm unsure of that, for more than the obvious reason (my sales), because it risks koha becoming seen as more for those who want to try DIY 14:38 kmkale paul_p: attendees will be interested in Koha, let me know more 14:39 paul_p kmkale, in Paris, day 1 was for full-newbies day 2 was "I already use or plan to use Koha, tell me more" 14:39 slef mtj: but definitely a more mainstream intro to the liveCD and virtual machine versions would be good. 14:39 kmkale paul_p: koha awareness is quite high 14:39 slef mtj: I think there was a cloud/VM type intro in hackfest, but not in con? 14:40 kmkale somebody had suggested sessions on how to setup dev installs and getting started on koha dev 14:40 kmkale or was it for the hackfest? 14:40 mtj kmkale: hackfest i think 14:41 slef I guess a session on community participation for the masses (bug reporting demo, RFC demo, ...) might be good, if we get talks offered? 14:41 kmkale anyone interested in helping with the site http://kohacon11.vpmthane.org/ocs 14:41 kmkale ? 14:41 mtj kohacon10 hackfest 14:41 kmkale yes slef good idea 14:41 kmkale i can give access to the site 14:41 slef kmkale: what sort of help? I'm now registered, thank you for the change. 14:42 kmkale I have put several placeholders in the site where I dont know what text to put 14:44 gmcharlt slef: +1 # community participation session 14:45 paul_p do we switch to the 2nd part of the KohaCon now ? (not clear to me) 14:45 slef kmkale: I'm happy to admin following requests from people, but I'd rather not lead any task just now if anyone else wants to do it (I have some local elections in May and July). 14:45 slef paul_p: 2nd part of the KohaCon? 14:45 paul_p ie: do we speak of the 2nd part? 14:46 paul_p (sorry, i've a meeting in // ...) 14:46 kmkale slef: I will give you access. 14:46 slef paul_p: define "2nd part"? 14:46 slef hackfest? 14:46 paul_p slef, the hackfest/developer part 14:46 paul_p yep 14:46 paul_p somebody had suggested sessions on how to setup dev installs and getting started on koha dev 14:46 paul_p or was it for the hackfest? 14:46 paul_p => kmkale few mn ago 14:47 slef paul_p: not specifically AIUI we're talking about general organisation 14:47 kmkale everyone please go through the site and let me know any text changes etc. 14:48 kmkale anyone wants rights on conf management in OCS let me know 14:48 kmkale paul_p: move on to hackfest? 14:50 paul_p kmkale, you decide, if you think you've informations you need/want for the 1st part ;-) 14:50 mtj kmkale: i now have an ocs account , will do… 14:50 kmkale to summarize 1st part lets send out call for papers, open registrations, review papers as they come in, after a while start thinking about organizing sessions 14:51 kmkale get help in travel guides 14:51 kmkale from different parts of the world 14:52 kmkale decide on keynote themes 14:52 kmkale did i miss out anything? 14:53 kmkale next meeting I will report progress from our sub comitees 14:53 kmkale one more thing how about a call for sponsors? 14:53 slef kmkale++ 14:53 slef can ocs help with that? 14:54 kmkale ocshttp://kohacon11.vpmthane.org/ocs/index.php/k/k11/about/organizingTeam 14:54 kmkale has a section on sponsors 14:55 kmkale & anather on sources of support 14:55 slef could I add Registration Type: Prospective-Sponsor, perhaps? 14:55 kmkale but thats just text 14:55 kmkale actual work has to be done by us :) 14:55 paul_p kmkale, you can also ask or suggest about sociolizing time (what to do after each day ?) 14:55 kmkale slef: good idea 14:56 kmkale paul_p: good idea. so i can come up with a list of places to visit, shopping, get together, dinner etc etc 14:57 slef kmkale: ok, I will add that when I have ocs admin. 14:57 kmkale slef:++ 14:57 paul_p kmkale, do you plan to organize something ? in Texas, there was a baseball match, in NZ a maori experience,... 14:58 kmkale planning on a day trip to Mumbai 14:58 paul_p (everybody pays for this event, but you organize) 14:58 paul_p kmkale, great ! 14:58 slef Sorry but I am going to have to leave in about 5min 14:59 kmkale paul_p: hackfest discussion now? 14:59 mtj mumbai trip sounds great 14:59 paul_p kmkale, if you want. 15:00 kmkale take it away paul_p 15:00 paul_p (I repeat what I already have said) my strong opinion is that we must have 2 different parts: one to help ppl learning how to hack, and one for hacking 15:01 kmkale length pf hackfest? 15:01 paul_p both are equally important. 15:01 kmkale learn to hack++ 15:01 paul_p kmkale, as long as possible 3days not enough according to me 15:01 kmkale we can organize let hackers say how long they want 15:01 paul_p 2 days learning to hack, then 3 days hack would be perfect ! 15:02 kmkale paul_p: including weekends or excluding 15:02 kmkale ? 15:03 paul_p excluding 15:03 paul_p ++ to have some rest during the we 15:03 kmkale ok so 31st oct is monday 15:03 paul_p experimented in NZ = everybody was toooooo tired on hackfect day 3 ! 15:03 kmkale so mon, tue, wed conference proper 15:03 paul_p in France, wk 1 = conf, then we, then wk2 = hackers 15:03 kmkale thursday mumbai trip 15:04 kmkale fri, sat learn to hack 15:04 kmkale sun rest 15:04 kmkale mon, tue, wed hack 15:04 kmkale ?? 15:04 paul_p sounds really good ! 15:04 kmkale in all 10 days 15:05 kmkale can hackfest stuff be done in a classroom of say 30 ppl? 15:06 mtj yeah, i think so 15:06 paul_p kmkale, I feel yes 15:06 kmkale cool then we have many 15:06 paul_p but if you get 18k attendees, you may get 300 developers ;-) 15:07 paul_p in France we were 15, in Texas about 15, in NZ about 15 too ! 15:07 kmkale hehe if that happens paul_p then biblibre better bring all its developers to teach parallel learn to hack sessions :) 15:08 paul_p lol 15:09 kmkale shall we toss around the hackfest discussion on thge lists so that we get more opinions? people really may not have 10 days 15:09 paul_p kmkale, if you pay the trip to all of us, then we could all come ;-) 15:09 slef I'm mobile so sorry for late/intermittent comments: remember that each extra day a travelling worker attends is probably an increased cost to their Koha buyers. 15:10 kmkale paul_p: if I could pay i would have attended kohacon in NZ ;) 15:10 paul_p i've the opposite opinion: once i'm here, I want to ROI my investment ;-) 15:10 mtj yeah, i agree with paul :) 15:10 kmkale ya mtj is coming eraly for Diwali too :) 15:11 slef so do I, but I don't see much return for us in past hackfests 15:11 slef kohacon more return, hackfest less 15:11 kmkale ok how do we go about finilizing hackfest duration and format? mailing list? vote? 15:12 mtj aww, the friendship and experience is nice, for hackfests 15:13 slef mtj: we have lots of friendship and experience within the co-op :) 15:13 mtj perhaps we discuss on the mailing lists for the next week? 15:13 mtj or do we just vote now? 15:13 kmkale mailing lists is better imho 15:13 slef final decision or decision method is up to kmkale IMO 15:13 paul_p mailing list++ 15:14 kmkale slef: about hackfest its really upto developers 15:14 kmkale i don't want to be sitting there alone ;) 15:14 mtj mailling list++ 15:14 kmkale so paul_p will you send a mail to the list about hackfest duration format proposal? 15:14 slef @karma list 15:14 huginn slef: Karma for "list" has been increased 3 times and decreased 1 time for a total karma of 2. 15:15 slef @karma mailing list 15:15 huginn slef: mailing list has neutral karma. 15:15 paul_p kmkale, if you want, or you can do it yourself if you prefer. I let you choose (it's your KohaCon ;) ) 15:15 kmkale paul_p please do it if you can 15:15 paul_p ok, will do 15:16 kmkale thanks paul_p++ 15:16 kmkale also how do we go about getting some sponsors? 15:16 mtj mailing-list again, i think.... 15:17 slef once there's a sponsor registration type, let's call for sponsors on list, web and newsletter? 15:17 kmkale slef yes good idea 15:18 kmkale #action kmkale to give slef and gmcharlt admin rights on OCS 15:18 kmkale #action paul_p to send out hackfest discussion mail 15:18 kmkale anyone else has anything to discuss? any question to ask maybe? 15:19 gmcharlt #action gmcharlt to draft the call for presentatins 15:19 kmkale #action slef to create sponsor registration type post getting admin rights 15:19 kmkale time and date for next volunteers meeting? 15:20 mtj 2 or 4 weeks away? or too soon? 15:21 kmkale how about monthly meeting? rotated 8hrs? 15:21 mtj yeah, perfect 15:21 kmkale i had a couple of regrets due to the time of meeting today 15:21 paul_p ++ for me too 15:22 kmkale 5th april? 15:23 kmkale or 8th 15:23 paul_p 8th sound OK to me 15:24 kmkale time? 15:24 wahanui1 i heard time was a scary thing 15:24 kmkale huh 15:24 kmkale do we try to get the time as per most of volunteers convinience or go by the 8 hr thing? 15:25 slef make sure it's sane for you, then rotate or not as you wish IMO 15:25 gmcharlt kmkale: it's up to you 15:25 mtj 8 hr thing ++ 15:27 kmkale 6.00 uts on 8th april then? 15:27 kmkale *UTC 15:28 paul_p kmkale, OK for me 15:28 kmkale paul_p: I was afraid you would say too early ;) 15:29 kmkale agreed? 8th april 6.00UTC ?? 15:29 mtj agreed 15:30 paul_p kmkale, will be 8AM for me (summer time), so OK 15:30 gmcharlt agreed 15:30 kmkale #action next irc meeting of Kohacon11 volunteers on 8th April 2011 at 6.00UTC 15:31 kmkale end meeting? 15:31 kmkale be happy to answer any queries about Thane, India, VPM etc 15:32 paul_p ok for end meeting 15:32 kmkale #endmeeting 15:32 huginn Meeting ended Tue Mar 8 15:39:54 2011 UTC.

You just said something. 16:40 jwagner I could have been sleep-typing :-) 16:40 jcamins No, I think that was me. ;) 16:40 jcamins I'm looking for my related bug. 16:41 jwagner about authorities & cross-ref searches? I didn't spot anything likely, but I don't seem to have good luck searching bugzilla 16:42 jcamins Yeah, it was just pushed. 16:42 jcamins Hm. Bugzilla is down. 16:42 jcamins Bug 5810. 16:42 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5810 enhancement, PATCH-Sent, ---, jcamins, ASSIGNED, Subject tracings should search complete subfields 16:42 jcamins I actually implemented a syspref that does exactly what you describe. 16:43 jwagner Making it do a zebra search instead of an authority search? 16:43 jcamins Right. 16:43 jcamins TracingsUseAuthorities or something like that. 16:44 jcamins UseAuthoritiesForTracings 16:44 jwagner And you got it to work in staff XSLT? I couldn't for some reason. 16:44 jcamins Yeah, there were some problems with that. 16:45 jcamins I also restructured some of the XSLTs a bit. 16:45 jcamins The problem is that our XSLT processor does not follow the standard wrt scoping. 16:45 jwagner So you were solving a quite different problem, but the solution might work for mine as well. 16:46 jcamins I solved two problems, actually. 16:46 jcamins Mine and yours. 16:46 jcamins I couldn't get a sign-off for *my* solution, because everyone else ran into your problem. 16:46 jcamins ;) 16:47 jwagner Hrrrmmmm. I still have not figured out the signoff process (or how to download and apply a patch), but I might be tempted to for thiis.... 16:49 jcamins Oh, that wasn't pushed. It must have been pushed to a branch. 16:49 jcamins jwagner: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Sign_off_on_patches 16:51 jcamins jwagner: you'll probably need to change "origin/master" to "kc/master" (or whatever you call your koha-community.org remote). 16:51 jwagner Can I just ftp the patch file to my server & apply that way? 16:51 jcamins Yeah, that's the step before the wiki page picks up. 16:52 jcamins I guess I should fix that. 16:59 jwagner jcamins, lots of merge conflicts, let's see if I can figure out how to resolve them. 17:00 jcamins Yeah, it's based on latest Master. 17:01 jwagner That's what I'm working on 17:01 jcamins Hm. 17:01 jwagner lots of problems with the installer files 17:01 jcamins And you got merge conflicts? 17:02 jcamins That's not good. 17:02 jwagner So far they seem to be nugatory -- just remove the <<< lines 17:03 jcamins Oh, I bet it was my other patch that was pushed. 17:03 atz that would do it 17:03 jwagner I'm using the patch file that was attached to the bug 17:03 jwagner should I be using something else? 17:04 jcamins jwagner: oh, it looks like the one attached to the bug isn't the latest. 17:04 jcamins I'll attach a new one. 17:05 jcamins Hold on. 17:05 jwagner Argghh! I think I just got through fixing the conflicts :-) 17:05 jcamins It'll be exactly the same, except signed-off. 17:10 jwagner OK, how do I break out of this unfinished merge on this branch and start over? 17:11 jwagner It's got lots of files it's complaining about, and I just want to scrap everything. 17:11 jcamins git am --abort I think 17:12 jwagner No, not a valid flag. 17:12 druthb1 git am --skip 17:12 jwagner Tried skipping, that didn't work either. 17:13 jwagner Now I'm trying git checkout for all the filenames, doesn't seem to like that either :-( 17:13 jcamins git reset --hard qa-bug_5810 17:14 * jcamins generaly takes the sledgehammer approach to git repository management 17:14 jcamins s/generaly/generally 17:14 jwagner Well, that worked :-) 17:14 jwagner Now download the new patch & start over? 17:15 jcamins Right. 17:17 jwagner Argh. Just as many merge conflicts, sigh. 17:27 jwagner Finally got a version merged -- I think the wiki page is missing a step. I had to do a git add <filename> for all the modified files before resuming the merge 17:28 jwagner jcamins, your two sysprefs, for what I want to do, should they both be set to 'don't'? 17:28 jcamins Yes. 17:31 jwagner Hmmm. I see one problem. OPAC works the way I want it to (use zebra instead of the authority link). Staff, the staff results list uses the au: search instead of authority link for author. However, if you display the title record, the author link is still the authority record. 17:31 jwagner subject links are OK in staff display 17:36 jcamins jwagner: hm. I will work up a follow-up patch for you to sign. 17:36 jcamins Or you could work up a follow-up patch for me to sign, which might be more efficient. 17:40 jwagner Assuming I understand how your patch works.... 17:40 jcamins It's very straightforward. 17:43 jcamins Yeah, looks like I just forgot to add "and $UseAuthoritiesForTracings='1'" to the showAuthor template. 17:48 jwagner Yep, had to change MARC21slim2intranetDetail.xsl and MARC21slimUtils.xsl but it seems to be working now. 17:48 jwagner So now how do I format the patch? I assume since I modified it I can't do the signoff bit 17:49 jcamins git format-patch -s origin/master 17:49 jcamins That'll give you two files. 17:49 jwagner I have to git commit first, don't I 17:50 jwagner ? 17:50 jcamins Oh, yes. 17:50 jwagner Regular old git commit, or something fancy? 17:50 jcamins Just a regular git commit. 17:51 jwagner OK, got the two files. Upload them both to the bugzilla page, or just the second one? 17:52 jcamins Both. 17:53 jcamins I'll sign off on the follow up, and resend it to the list. 17:53 jcamins (since it's changed) 17:54 jwagner Mark your singed-off version as obsolete? 17:54 Brooke_ kia ora! 17:54 druthb hi, Brooke_ :) 17:55 jcamins Yes. 17:55 jwagner that's signed, not singed :-) 17:55 jwagner OK, all uploaded. 17:56 jcamins Thanks! 17:56 Brooke_ sechsy: http://www.charlierose.com/view/interview/11522 17:57 jwagner Thank you for the fix! 17:57 jcamins You're welcome. :) 17:58 jwagner one caveat, though, which I'll add to the bug report -- your patch didn't address UNIMARC files, correct? 17:58 jcamins That's correct. 17:58 jwagner They also use the code=9 construct 17:58 jcamins Yeah, but the XSLT is structured very differently, and I wasn't confident of my ability to test. 17:59 jwagner We'll let a UNIMARC user do that one -- just wanted to point it out in the bug report. 18:00 jcamins Yeah. 18:01 jwagner To clarify, you're now going to sign off (and thus send another patch file)? 18:01 jcamins Yes. 18:03 Brooke_ jcamins++ 18:44 Brooke_ don't all talk at once. 18:49 * ibeardslee was just waiting for a quiet moment 18:49 * Brooke_ suspects so. 18:49 Brooke_ clearly everyone saves their chattiness for a meeting. 18:50 * wizzyrea is not feeling very chatty 18:50 * druthb isn't, either, much. 18:51 Brooke_ lies! 18:51 druthb @quote get 102 18:51 huginn druthb: Quote #102: "<druthb> harrrumph!" (added by gmcharlt at 07:42 PM, November 11, 2010) 18:52 Brooke_ huginn druthb? 18:52 huginn Brooke_: downloading the Perl source 18:52 Brooke_ wha?! 18:52 Brooke_ wahanui1 druthb? 18:52 wahanui1 druthb is a rockstar! 18:52 * druthb blushes. 18:52 Brooke_ Hmph. I suppose that'll do. 18:52 druthb wahanui1: Brooke_? 18:52 wahanui1 rumour has it Brooke_ is hearing no objections 18:53 Brooke_ that one could be worse, I suppose. 18:53 jcamins My cat has a cold, too. :( 18:53 Brooke_ oh really? 18:53 Brooke_ Is it still eating properly? 18:53 * Brooke_ s cat sneezed all over her at one point many moons ago. 18:54 jcamins I think he's eating. 18:55 Brooke_ pfft, tomcats. 18:55 jcamins Brooke_: technically "he" is an "it," but we let him pretend that's not the case. ;) 18:56 Brooke_ what's his name? 18:57 jcamins Myshkin. 18:57 * Brooke_ points out that this is all very important from a development standpoint. 18:57 Brooke_ ooh I like that. 18:58 Brooke_ after the idiot or the place? 18:58 jcamins The Prince. :) 18:58 * Brooke_ nods. 18:59 Brooke_ off I go. 20:10 wizzyrea cait: these are evil, and wonderful: http://www.germandeli.com/pastaflagga.html 20:11 cait ah haribo 20:11 cait :) 20:11 cait about the sql statement: it was not always there, got in with the parameters in sql reports - and because the current output is very ugly 20:11 cait in my eyes 20:12 cait but I am open for discussion here - at least it should be formatted 20:12 cait it's not even wrapped in a html tag I can hide at the moment 20:13 wizzyrea formatting = good, ability to hide = good 20:13 wizzyrea i personally like seeing it 20:14 cait okok 20:14 cait but have no time to work on it today 20:14 wizzyrea it's cool :) 20:14 wizzyrea no worries 21:45 cait sekjal: reading about your idea for the cart - how would we seelct items into the cart? 21:46 cait at the moment it works from the record and from the result list 21:48 sekjal where it's possible to select items individually (like on the details page) we could, either with checkboxes or links like "add to cart" 21:48 sekjal from search results, it could be defaulted to add all items for the title 21:48 sekjal then they could be removed later 21:53 cait ok, no more questions :) 21:53 cait I like the idea 22:01 sekjal we'd also be able to have an interface to add them to cart from a barcode scanner 22:02 cait :) 22:23 sekjal okay, time to go do taxes... 22:23 wizzyrea gl 22:23 * sekjal crosses fingers for a goodly sized refund 23:01 Judit hi 23:49 mtj quick 3m self check quesyion here....... 23:49 mtj anyone know of anyone using them? 23:52 rhcl_away I think sekjal would probably know of people using them 23:52 rhcl_away and maybe wizzyrea 23:53 mtj yeah, ill ask liz/nekls/bywater
