Time Nick Message 00:05 * libsysguy is about to kill yui 00:06 jcamins_away libsysguy: what are you trying to do? 00:06 libsysguy make the opac-results float correctly 00:07 libsysguy but the facetcontainer and the results both have a wrapper class of yui-b 00:07 libsysguy so it is impossible to select them without js 00:07 libsysguy *uniquely* 00:08 libsysguy but im already shifting the dom around with js a ton…I might as well alter it some more 00:08 libsysguy http://catalog.uttyler.edu/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=lasers 00:08 libsysguy im trying to make it fit in here http://library.uttyler.edu/ 00:09 libsysguy wasn't there talk at some point of killing the yui model 00:24 libsysguy any protips jcamins_away 00:28 jcamins_away Sorry, I was in the other room. 00:28 jcamins_away There is. 00:28 jcamins_away oleonard is working on it, but it's going to take a while. 00:29 jcamins_away That looks just about right. 00:29 Brooke o/ 00:32 libsysguy almost…till you start putting elements like they would be in a normal page 00:32 libsysguy then the yui resets take precedence which shouldn't happen 00:33 jcamins_away Hehe. 00:33 Brooke anyone else annoyed by 00:33 Brooke http://www.walkingpaper.org/5300?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+walkingpaper/full+%28Walking+Paper%29 00:34 jcamins_away libsysguy: I had problems with that too. 00:34 jcamins libsysguy: bad news. My solution was to rewrite opac.css. 00:34 libsysguy jcamins I am about tempted to burn prog and start my own theme 00:35 Brooke ooooh 00:35 Brooke a new opac.css would be sexy, methinks 00:35 libsysguy it would be…free of yui 00:35 libsysguy sweet freeedom 00:35 jcamins That'd be very nice. 00:35 jcamins oleonard started on that. 00:35 Brooke oleonard ftw :D 00:36 Brooke oleonard++ 00:36 Brooke jcamins++ 00:36 Brooke libsysguy++ 00:36 libsysguy aww thanks brooke 00:36 libsysguy :) 00:36 Brooke I likes me some burnin' and rebuildin' 00:36 * Brooke really, really needs to get round to both the gender thing and the achievement system thing. 00:36 gmcharlt Brooke: I'm not sure I necessarily disagree with that post -- although a lot of OPACs are _not_ things that I'd want to buidl the rest of a library's website around for 00:36 libsysguy you should check out what im working on then :p 00:37 Brooke gmcharlt the part that stuck in my craw was Is there a way out? I wish I was hopeful enough to encourage libraries to collectivize and demand better interfaces and flexible ILSs. Sadly, that seems unrealistic. Libraries that recognize the importance of interfaces and have the technical expertise will employ catalog overlays such as SOPAC 2.0 and Vufind. 00:37 gmcharlt of course, for libraries that have lots of databases and no central seach .. even more difficult 00:37 Brooke smacked of battered Librarian syndrome to me 00:37 Brooke right 00:37 gmcharlt true 00:38 Brooke but I think databases are just not worth thinking about most times 00:38 Brooke I think Patrons want US to use them on their behalf 00:38 Brooke and the ones that don't 00:38 Brooke already know where they are and how to get to em 00:38 Brooke not that a nice central search on databases wouldn't be posh 00:38 libsysguy Brooke we have just employed ebsco's EDS search 00:38 libsysguy interesting concept 00:38 Brooke I just don't think it matters nearly as much as 00:38 Brooke em 00:39 Brooke having the freaking opening hours and directions to the Library like EVERYWHERE 00:39 libsysguy http://library.uttyler.edu 00:39 libsysguy try the search 00:39 libsysguy tell me what you think 00:39 Brooke but like the whole "we established dysfunctional relationships with ILS vendors that gave us very little leverage and almost no recourse to demand better visual and interaction design. These decisions have had a lasting negative impact on our ability to serve patrons." 00:39 Brooke it's like really 00:39 Brooke do you live like that 00:39 Brooke if you have a shite relationship 00:40 Brooke are you like "Ah well, no changin' it mate. I'll just stay here miserable for the rest of mah life." 00:40 * Brooke pokes at the UT junk 00:40 gmcharlt Brooke: you would deny folks who want to be miserable their happiness? 00:40 gmcharlt ;) 00:41 Brooke if you're a masochist, dear, fair play to ye 00:41 Brooke but don't expect the rest of the field to be populated by masochists, yes? 00:42 Brooke a search for "animal husbandry" (no quotes in the actual search) is interesting. 00:43 Brooke and wtf 00:43 Brooke there is no diff 00:43 Brooke when I do use quotes 00:43 Brooke bad ebsco 00:43 * Brooke spanks EBSCO. 00:43 libsysguy hehe 00:43 libsysguy you have to use (animal husbandry) 00:43 libsysguy i think 00:43 * libsysguy is not a pro on searching 00:43 gmcharlt just like google 00:43 libsysguy i leave that to the librarians 00:43 gmcharlt ... oh, wait 00:43 * jcamins agrees with libsysguy. 00:44 jcamins gmcharlt: well, at least it's like Lexis. 00:44 Brooke libsysguy - still not an ounce of difference in ranking 00:44 Brooke and well 00:44 libsysguy hmm 00:44 Brooke the ranking could be set on fire as a pie after a few months of dry time 00:45 * Brooke hands gmcharlt some chocolate in order to escape his rapier wit. 00:45 gmcharlt Brooke: thanks! 00:45 libsysguy for some reason I think you can change the algorithm for relevancy ranking making, for example, physical items rank higher than electronic ones 00:45 Brooke may I never have to fence you, sir. 00:45 Brooke prolly 00:46 Brooke but it would be better to have gee, words that I put next to one another in a search, weigh more than random words that are similar XD 00:46 gmcharlt indeed 00:46 gmcharlt libsysguy: do you happen to know if there's a standard search engine behind EBS? 00:47 Brooke slow as molasses in winter from here, too. 00:47 libsysguy its something they wrote 00:47 libsysguy i asked them how many programmers they had on it 00:47 libsysguy they said close to 900 00:47 libsysguy i was like 0_0 00:47 libsysguy surely not 00:47 libsysguy but that was the sales rep…so who knows 00:48 gmcharlt 900 programmers? for their sakes I hope not 00:48 libsysguy lol if you think librarians are like herding cats…wait till you manage programmes 00:48 Brooke "gaming and cognition" is better. 00:49 Brooke but I kind of expect psych to be smoother than vet. 00:49 Brooke gmcharlt, it would make sense if they had 900 programmers of my calibre. :D 00:51 Brooke libsysguy how much do you want me to kick this catalogue? 00:51 libsysguy haha the EDS or the catalog? 00:52 libsysguy i just upgraded koha to master today and just now started re-theming it 00:52 libsysguy so be gentle 00:52 libsysguy the EDS i could give two you-know-whats about 00:52 libsysguy :p 00:52 Brooke I just fed it a misspelling, and we are not amused 00:52 Brooke I should get a prompt for "Did you mean?" 00:52 Brooke and did not 00:53 Brooke "Santa Ana" will search just on that. 00:53 jcamins Brooke: what are you expecting? This is an Ebsco product. 00:53 * Brooke winks slyly at jcamins 00:54 libsysguy brb dinner is read 00:54 libsysguy ready** 00:54 jcamins It's Friday... I wonder if that means libsysguy is having pizza. 00:55 * Brooke is still full from Sushi. 00:57 Brooke gotta say, dunno what folks did to the Koha search, but meh. 00:57 jcamins Brooke: BTW, you'll be glad to know that my most recent batch of fudge came out delicious. 00:57 Brooke it's just not as forgiving out of the box as it used to be 00:57 Brooke and when it is forgiving, it's slow as molasses. 00:57 jcamins Brooke: it's just the same as it always has been. 00:57 Brooke no it's not. 00:57 Brooke there are weird preferences and junk 00:57 Brooke that you have to flip someplace 00:57 Brooke to make things work intuitively 00:58 Brooke those should be on by default. 00:58 Brooke nice work jcamins 00:58 Brooke non crap irish cream, or just no irish cream at all? 00:58 jcamins Bitter orange. 00:58 Brooke cool 01:00 Brooke now here's what I mean. 01:00 Brooke or at least one example 01:00 Brooke and it might be apples to oranges 01:00 jcamins Apple fudge? 01:00 Brooke but it demonstrates my babbling 01:00 jcamins That'd be kinda weird. 01:00 Brooke deliberate misspelling 01:01 Brooke "Dali Lama" no actual quotes in the search 01:01 Brooke just from the box. 01:01 Brooke http://catalog.nexpresslibrary.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=Dali+lama&limit= 01:01 Brooke http://library.org.nz/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=dali+lama 01:01 Brooke one of these things, is not like the other 01:01 Brooke and I realise that some cataloguer at NEKLS ought be beaten 01:01 Brooke and it explains the first hit 01:01 Brooke BUT 01:01 Brooke nuffin at HLT 01:01 Brooke no no 01:01 Brooke bad Koha. 01:02 Brooke http://library.org.nz/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=dalai+lama 01:03 Brooke http://catalog.nexpresslibrary.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=It&limit= 01:03 Brooke http://library.org.nz/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=It 01:04 Brooke http://library.org.nz/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=Stephen+King 01:04 jcamins Brooke: looks like HLT needs to adjust their search sysprefs. 05:54 cait hi #kohq 05:54 cait #koha even 08:28 cait time to leave marseille 08:28 cait bye all 08:39 mbalmer what will happen when I run the Koha installer on an already installed system?
