paul, are you around? |
| 13:33 |
|
paul |
yep |
| 13:33 |
|
owen |
It looks like our opac searches for isbns aren't working |
| 13:33 |

That isbn was cut and pasted from this record: http://66.213.78.101/cgi-bin/k[…]tail.pl?bib=99294 |
| 13:35 |
|
paul |
in the MARC part of the biblio, there is : |
| 13:35 |
|
paul |
1565922840 (pa.) |
| 13:35 |
|
paul |
that's why a = don't work |
| 13:35 |
|
paul |
try a "start" |
| 13:35 |
|
paul |
;-) |

| 13:36 |
|
paul |
works fine. |
| 13:36 |
|
owen |
Hmm... But isn't it searching biblioitems.isbn rather than the MARC table? |
| 13:36 |
|
paul |
no |
| 13:36 |
|
paul |
search marc is searching in MARC tables. |
| 13:37 |
|
paul |
it translate biblioitems.isbn into 010$a |
| 13:37 |
|
owen |
Did you say yesterday that you could also specify the tag number instead of saying "biblioitems.isbn"? |
| 13:37 |
|
paul |
(note that the start is usually faster than contain, and as fast as =) |
| 13:37 |
|
paul |
yes. |
| 13:37 |
|
paul |
say 010a |
| 13:38 |
|
paul |
020a sorry |
| 13:38 |

Okay, thanks. |

Joshua's Amazon work is looking good--did you see the book covers in the search results? Pretty cool. |
| 13:41 |
|
owen |
I wonder if it's something like that that is causing my barcode searches to fail in the intranet... |
| 13:42 |
|
owen |
operator=contains should work fine |
| 13:42 |
|
paul |
but it's slower. |
| 13:42 |
|
owen |
We could probably even change that to '=' since barcodes are specific |
| 13:42 |
|
paul |
do you really plan to add pictures of books to result LIST ? |
| 13:43 |
|
paul |
that would query really a lot amazon.com no ? |
| 13:43 |
|
owen |
I don't know...Joshua's just trying things out at this point. I don't know if he's cacheing images or anything. |
| 13:43 |
|
paul |
i hope for amazon.com ;-) |
| 13:43 |
|
owen |
You're right, though, it could be a lot of transfers. |
| 13:44 |
|
paul |
the "search inside" on opac-detail is joshua work ? |
| 13:44 |
|
paul |
because the image in opac-detail is not exactly the amazon.com image |
| 13:45 |
|
owen |
I think that for items in Amazon for which they offer the 'search inside' feature they also provide an alternate 'search inside' graphic. |
| 13:47 |
|
owen |
paul, I'm trying the barcode search in the intranet, and I can't get it to work with 'contains'. It only works if I change it to '=' or 'start' |
| 13:48 |
|
paul |
and why is it a problem for you ? |
| 13:49 |
|
owen |
If it doesn't work for us using the default template, then it might not work for others. |
| 13:50 |
|
paul |
enter a bugzilla, and i'll look at it. |

hi tim |

hi owen |

I finally got that server to stop complaining to me yesterday. |
| 15:59 |
|
tim |
Thanks to you and Chris |

Good. 2.2 is really a major step forward. |
| 16:11 |
|
tim |
I installed 2.0.2. Should I try upgrading it? |
| 16:17 |
|
owen |
I can't give you advice on how well upgrades work, but I can tell you that 2.2 works really well. |
| 16:17 |
|
owen |
Its searching capabilities are vastly superior. |
| 16:23 |
|
tim |
I don't have any data in this one yet, so I won't be risking that. |
| 16:26 |
|
tim |
Yeah. That could be a big help for us people who don't know what we're doing. |
| 16:33 |
|
owen |
the problem with providing patron data is privacy, of course, otherwise we could simply export a section of our database and make it available |
| 16:33 |
|
owen |
But the bibliographic data should be pretty easy to come by. |
| 16:33 |
|
owen |
i guess you'd also have to make sure the installation had the same MARC configuration as well |
| 16:35 |
|
tim |
I've gotten pretty far with te patron importing. I'm just messing up on the marc mapping. |
| 16:36 |
|
tim |
I'd probably do better if I could figure out how to modify the import script to make some changes for me. |
| 16:39 |
|
tim |
I just started a perl class yesterday to help me with that. |
| 16:40 |
|
tim |
benn taking a class on SQL for about a month. |
| 16:41 |
|
tim |
I learned a lot on my own, but need the extra help to get things done sooner. |
| 16:50 |
|
owen |
Gotta reboot :( |
| 16:54 |
|
tim |
Trying to install Net::LDAP |
| 16:54 |
|
tim |
Writing Makefile for Net::LDAP |
| 16:54 |
|
tim |
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. |
| 16:54 |
|
tim |
/usr/bin/make -- NOT OK |
| 16:55 |
|
tim |
Figured I'd try 2.2RC4 |
