|
kados |
yo |
| 11:34 |
|
hdl |
Have you solved you pb ? |
| 11:34 |
|
kados |
not yet |
| 11:35 |
|
kados |
didn't get a chance to test with default templates yet |
| 11:35 |
|
kados |
could do that today since it's an american holiday |
| 11:35 |
|
hdl |
Do you have a koha logo in vector format ? |
| 11:35 |
|
kados |
vector format? |
| 11:35 |
|
hdl |
svg or else. |
| 11:35 |
|
kados |
hmm ... don't think so |
| 11:36 |
|
kados |
but I think rach posted it somewhere |
| 11:36 |
|
hdl |
opposed to bitmap. |
| 11:36 |
|
hdl |
Rach must be sleeping.* |
| 11:36 |
|
kados |
yep :-) |
| 11:36 |
|
hdl |
Is there a way to know where before tonight 16h ? |
| 11:37 |
|
hdl |
half an hour ? |
| 11:39 |
|
kados |
hmm ... |
| 11:39 |
|
kados |
have you tried google images? :-) |
| 11:41 |
|
kados |
hmm, serials seem to work with default templates |
| 11:42 |
|
kados |
so now I get to bug owen :-) |
| 11:43 |
|
kados |
hdl: I'm still a bit confused ... why must I select 1/month even if there are only 10 issues per year? |
| 11:43 |
|
kados |
hdl: and what does 'beginning date' mean? |
| 11:43 |
|
kados |
hdl: can I recieve issues for subscriptions that started many months ago? |
| 11:43 |
|
hdl |
date of begining of subscription and count. |
| 11:44 |
|
hdl |
You guessed baddly right. |
| 11:44 |
|
kados |
hdl: ? |
| 11:44 |
|
hdl |
Yes. |
| 11:45 |
|
kados |
if I specify beginning date as 11/01/2004 I still only see one issue to recieve |
| 11:45 |
|
kados |
I don't understand your answers :-) |
| 11:46 |
|
hdl |
You always see the next issue to be received and not as many as should have been received. |
| 11:46 |
|
kados |
so there is no way to describe previous issues? |
| 11:47 |
|
hdl |
What do you mean ??? |
| 11:47 |
|
kados |
suppose I have a subscription that I started in 2004 |
| 11:47 |
|
kados |
then I switch to Koha |
| 11:48 |
|
kados |
and I want to keep track of my subscription in Koha |
| 11:48 |
|
kados |
there are several issues I'm still missing, say the Jan and Feb issues |
| 11:48 |
|
kados |
how do I set that up ? |
| 11:49 |
|
kados |
also, suppose there are 10 issues per year, but not necessary one per month ... do I need to specify 1/month? or how should I specify it? |
| 16:19 |

| 18:16 |
|
oday |

| 18:16 |
|
oday |
what are the best specs for the server? |
| 18:16 |
|
kados |
um ... well dunno |
| 18:16 |
|
kados |
I don't user windows :-) |
| 18:17 |
|
kados |
also don't support windows kohas |
| 18:17 |
|
kados |
not sure there is any commerical support available for kohawin32 |
| 18:17 |
|
chris |
id rate ram more important than cpu clock speed |
| 18:18 |
|
chris |
and id do that for any web application |
| 18:18 |
|
chris |
but thats about the limit of what i know for windows |
| 18:18 |
|
oday |
so a 1gig is enough? |
| 18:18 |
|
kados |
oday: how many records you got? |
| 18:18 |
|
chris |
how many books? at a guess? |
| 18:18 |
|
chris |
< 20,000 ? |
| 18:18 |
|
oday |
way less |
| 18:18 |
|
oday |
i dont think our library can handle that |
| 18:18 |
|
kados |
1 gig's fine then I'd say |
| 18:18 |
|
chris |
yep |
| 18:19 |
|
oday |
maybe 2000 books by the year 2010 |
| 18:19 |
|
oday |
lol - i know its sad |
| 18:19 |
|
chris |
how many students? |
| 18:19 |
|
oday |
172 |
| 18:19 |
|
chris |
that'd be fine |
| 18:19 |
|
oday |
suitable to become a school of 300 |
| 18:20 |
|
oday |
if i only want access to the library on the local level |
| 18:20 |
|
oday |
i dont need to port forward, corect? |
| 18:21 |
|
chris |
shouldnt need to no |
| 18:22 |
|
oday |
do you a software by the name of xampp? |
| 18:23 |
|
oday |
http://www.apachefriends.org/e[…]ampp-windows.html |
| 18:23 |
|
chris |
hmm |
| 18:24 |
|
kados |
bbiab |
| 18:24 |
|
oday |
i highly recommend your staff to integrate xampp with your software |
| 18:24 |
|
oday |
its makes seems so much easier |
| 18:25 |
|
oday |
when xampp install apache, mysql,php,openssl all in package |
| 18:25 |
|
chris |
right |
| 18:25 |
|
chris |
does it install perl? |
| 18:26 |
|
oday |
here is the thing i realy dont know |
| 18:26 |
|
chris |
:) |
| 18:26 |
|
oday |
on the site it says 'With the new Apache 2.0.55, we build a new Perl-Addon for XAMPP 1.5.0 also.' |
| 18:26 |
|
chris |
right |
| 18:27 |
|
chris |
sounds like mod_perl |
| 18:27 |
|
chris |
we dont really develop for windows, or have the skills to |
| 18:27 |
|
chris |
but rob has ported koha to windows (he runs the koha on windows site) |
| 18:28 |
|
chris |
it might be worth asking about xampp on the koha-win32 list |

| 18:37 |
|

| 18:39 |
|
oday |

| 18:39 |
|
chris |
i think so |
| 18:39 |
|
chris |
if you want to use the bulkmarcimport.pl script then yes it will be |
| 20:37 |
|
oday |
kados, hey there..sory to bother, but is there a newbie guide to koha? |
| 20:40 |
|
oday |
anyone care to share? |
| 20:42 |
|
russ |
hi oday - you looking for an install and setup guide or a how to use it guide? |
| 20:43 |
|
russ |
have you checked out www.kohadocs.org ? |
| 20:46 |
|
oday |
yes i have went there already |
| 20:46 |
|
oday |
but chris earlier showed me a newbie guide |
| 20:48 |
|
russ |
and you need that link again? |
| 20:49 |
|
russ |
something i find useful are the logs for this channel |
| 20:51 |
|
oday |
yes please i need that link |
| 20:52 |
|
russ |
ok 2 secs |
| 20:52 |
|
russ |
i thought i made a link to logbot on this page http://www.koha.org/community/irc.html |
| 20:53 |
|
russ |
but it obviously not |
| 20:53 |
|
oday |
logbot |
| 20:53 |
|
oday |
ahh |
| 20:53 |
|
chris |
www.koha.org/irc/ will get you to the logs |
| 20:54 |
|
chris |
the newbie guide is on the kohadocs.org site oday |
| 20:55 |
|
oday |
thanks chris |
| 20:55 |
|
oday |
i got it |
| 20:55 |
|
oday |
and you to russ |
| 20:58 |
|
oday |
one thing |
| 20:58 |
|
oday |
does koha print when books are due for example |
| 20:58 |
|
oday |
or a receipt in general? |
| 20:59 |
|
rach |
I suspect the answer is "that depends" |
| 21:00 |
|
oday |
elaborate please |
| 21:01 |
|
rach |
there isn't a nice interface to setup what goes to the printer yet in Koha, so *I think* that the ones that we do will be printing out what books you've taken out, and when they are due - but I'm not sure wether that is what is generally printed |
| 21:02 |
|
rach |
so for the libraries katipo works with, I can confidently say "yes", but I know that we probably go and do setup for those sorts of thing per library |
| 21:02 |
|
rach |
so I'm not sure "out of the box" what you get |
| 21:03 |
|
rach |
can you refine your question? |
| 21:03 |
|
rach |
for whom are you wanting to know if koha prints when books are due? for the borrower at the issues desk? |
| 21:04 |
|
rach |
for the librarian as an overdues list? |
| 21:04 |
|
oday |
the first |
| 21:04 |
|
oday |
for the person that checks out the book |
| 21:04 |
|
rach |
how much tech clue can I assume you have? |
| 21:06 |
|
oday |
well i am computer literate |
| 21:06 |
|
rach |
Yes: the libraries that we (Katipo) work with have slip printers at the issues desk, and koha automatically prints out a slip for the borrower |
| 21:07 |
|
rach |
BUT - what I don't know is wether that is a default setting in Koha when you install it - or wether you need to do something behind the scenes to get it going |
| 21:08 |
|
rach |
so I'm sure that the scripts to do it are in Koha, but I believe there is a bit of sorting out print cues etc to make it happen, and it may be that you need to use a particular set of templates and other settings to make it work |
| 21:09 |
|
rach |
so: functionatlity is in there, but may not be "obvious" if you're not able to look behind the scenes |
| 21:11 |
|
rach |
OR it may just work for you if you set up your network printing properly |
| 21:18 |
|
oday |
okay i am satisfied with the answer |
| 21:18 |
|
oday |
when i get to install it then i can go to details like htis |
| 21:18 |
|
oday |
*this |
| 21:20 |
|
rach |
well yep - so it's a bit of a hard one to answer, I would think just a straight "yes" but just not quite sure |
| 21:22 |
|
oday |
i would want to test it out by installing it on my site |
| 21:22 |
|
oday |
but i dont know if godaddy.com has perl installed |
| 21:26 |
|
oday |
^godaddy.com is my host |
| 05:23 |
|
paul |
hello world |
| 05:32 |
|
rach |
hi paul |
| 05:32 |
|
paul |
hello rachel. |
| 05:33 |
|
paul |
(answering an RFP today) |
| 05:33 |
|
rach |
very good |
| 05:33 |
|
paul |
(for CNRS archeology network) |
| 05:34 |
|
rach |
so a private library? |
| 05:34 |
|
paul |
don't you know what is CNRS ? |
| 05:35 |
|
paul |
it's the public research here in France |
| 05:35 |
|
paul |
(Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) |
| 05:35 |
|
paul |
so not really private ;-) |
| 05:35 |
|
rach |
ah very cool |
| 05:36 |
|
paul |
(in France, you must know that except for some religious libraries, libraries are public 99%) |
| 05:36 |
|
rach |
really - you must have corporate libraries as well though? |
| 05:36 |
|
rach |
so companies who have their own library? |
| 05:36 |
|
paul |
right. but we usually don't call that libraries. |
| 05:36 |
|
rach |
ah a very good job to get that one then |
| 05:36 |
|
paul |
we call that "centres de documentation" |
| 05:37 |
|
rach |
ahh, a much more precise language :-) |
| 05:37 |
|
rach |
English can be so lazy |
| 05:39 |
|
rach |
that would be a great job to get |
