itemnumber makes its way into the items table, though |
| 12:33 |
|
shaun |
is there any kind of printable inquiry at the moment? our library finds it useful (using the current propietary solution) to be able to make a print-formatted document automatically, with the basic data and often all of the relevant bibliographical data, with the name of the library at the top, and the search terms listed clearly. |
| 13:01 |
|
owen |
shaun, still there? |
| 13:01 |
|
owen |
Do you mean a printable version of the search results screen? |
| 13:08 |
|
shaun |
(i will be back in 10 mins) |
| 13:15 |
|
shaun |
i'm back |
| 13:15 |
|
shaun |
yes, basically |
| 13:17 |
|
shaun |
*is going again* |
| 13:19 |
|
owen |
What about a print style sheet? Would that do the job? |

|
michael |

| 13:45 |
|
shaun |
back again | hi michael/tim - i don't know you yet... |
| 13:49 |
|
tim |
I've been here before, but not much recently. |
| 13:49 |
|
shaun |
owen: the results should come up in a new window, for easy copy-and-pasting into excel or word (they're still on M$ on the clients) or, ultimately, printing |
| 13:49 |
|
shaun |
I'm a hardened n00b - working on template design atm |
| 13:50 |
|
tim |
I've been fumbling my way through for a pretty long time. |
| 13:50 |
|
tim |
Still have a lot of fumbling to do. |
| 13:58 |
|
owen |
shaun, so what would the page look like, to fit your needs? Is it not possible to modify the template to reach that goal? |
| 14:00 |
|
shaun |
owen: in the current system, it is basically (in web-based ILS terms) pure html, with either tables, or fixed-width words with spaces to fill gaps |

kados |
rach around? |
| 17:35 |
|
si |
she should be in shortly, she's just taking the blood doners to the vet |
| 17:35 |
|
kados |
erp? |
| 17:36 |
|
kados |
sounds dangerous ;-) |
| 17:36 |
|
si |
olive is a big dog, bloody type universal doner |
| 17:37 |
|
si |
so she's in demand at the local vet clinic to help out during difficult operations |
| 17:37 |
|
kados |
huh ... I guess I didn't realize blood transfusions were given to animals ... cool! |
| 17:38 |
|
si |
she'll get a bit of free dentistry while she's in |
| 17:39 |
|
si |
and a rebate next time she needs treatment |
| 17:39 |
|
si |
the only downside is that the blood donors need to be sedated as well |
| 17:39 |
|
kados |
sounds like a good deal for her owners ;-) |
| 17:39 |
|
si |
so she'll be zonked for a few hours this evening |
| 17:39 |
|
si |
and probably a bit whiny coz the room is spinning |
| 17:39 |
|
kados |
hehe |
| 17:40 |
|
rachel |
hello |
| 17:40 |
|
kados |
hey rach |
| 17:40 |
|
rachel |
is v quiet when there are no dogs here |
| 17:40 |
|
kados |
:-) |
| 17:40 |
|
rachel |
you were asking out our cute boxes I believe? |
| 17:41 |
|
kados |
yea ... they're really cool |
| 17:41 |
|
kados |
LibLime would like a few for our ALA conference |
| 17:41 |
|
rachel |
I could just mail you some :-) |
| 17:41 |
|
rachel |
ie printed out and ready to be made up |
| 17:41 |
|
rachel |
or I can send you the file to get printed etc locally |
| 17:41 |
|
kados |
what kind of paper did you use? |
| 17:42 |
|
kados |
(and printer) |
| 17:42 |
|
kados |
(and size of paper?) |
| 17:42 |
|
rachel |
we got some printed out on A4 paper, which makes boexst sort of cd case sized |
| 17:42 |
|
rachel |
and we got some printed on A1 Ithink it was which makes boxes A4 sized |
| 17:43 |
|
kados |
makes sense ... I suppose we could get it printed locally at Kinkos or something |
| 17:43 |
|
kados |
(we don't have an 8.5x11 printer) |
| 17:43 |
|
kados |
(which I think A1 is) |
| 17:43 |
|
rachel |
so we took them down to a printing out place to do |
| 17:44 |
|
rachel |
the small ones they had thick enough card |
| 17:44 |
|
rachel |
but the big ones we then double sheeted - so spray glued them onto another bit of card |
| 17:44 |
|
rachel |
before cutting them out |
| 17:44 |
|
kados |
right ... makes sense |
| 17:45 |
|
kados |
well when you get a chance I'd love the files |
| 17:45 |
|
kados |
are they Gimp files? |
| 17:45 |
|
rachel |
they don't need to be super thick - but there is a bit of a trick to getting them folded nicely (involves a butter knife and ruler to score first) |
| 17:46 |
|
rachel |
ah no, they are freehand files, they may be pdfs |
| 17:46 |
|
kados |
freehand is fine ... I have MX |
| 17:46 |
|
rachel |
ok cool |
| 17:47 |
|
rachel |
