morning all |
| 11:46 |
|
cm |
i found some problems with Calendar.pm that kept me from deleting repeatable holidays, |
| 11:46 |
|
cm |
but I fixed it. |
| 11:47 |
|
cm |
can I send somebody a diff? |
| 11:59 |
|
hdl |
cm : yes please send me. |
| 12:05 |
|
cm |
do you want it in the chat you just opened? |
| 16:29 |
|
cm |
kados, do you have a moment? |
| 16:29 |
|
kados |
cm: sure, what's up? |
| 16:30 |
|
cm |
i have a question about how zebra is sorting by publication date |
| 16:30 |
|
kados |
hehe |
| 16:30 |
|
cm |
uh oh... :) |
| 16:30 |
|
kados |
well it's not zebra's fault |
| 16:30 |
|
kados |
it's MARC :-) |
| 16:30 |
|
cm |
is it looking at 008 or 260c or what? |
| 16:30 |
|
kados |
my guess is that any weirdness you're seeing is because your dates are formatted like this: |
| 16:30 |
|
cm |
yeah, i'm not suprised, given the state of our marc records. :) |
| 16:30 |
|
kados |
c2004 |
| 16:30 |
|
kados |
or |
| 16:30 |
|
kados |
p1999 |
| 16:31 |
|
kados |
i think i wrote a blurb about this somewhere, lemme track it down |
| 16:31 |
|
cm |
yeah, that's certainly a possible culprit. |
| 16:31 |
|
cm |
i imported a record from NPL and it sorted properly, so I figured it was our data. |
| 16:32 |
|
kados |
cm: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?[…]rchingdefinitions |
| 16:32 |
|
kados |
cm: have a look at the "Dates" section there |
| 16:32 |
|
cm |
okay, cool. |
| 16:33 |
|
kados |
melm 008 ln:n:range(data,35,3),ctype:w:range(data,24,4),Date:n:range(data,0,5),Date:s:range(data,0,5),Date:n:range(data,7,4),Date:s:range(data,7,4),Date:n:range(data,11,4),Date:s:range(data,11,4),pubdate:n:range(data,7,4),pubdate:s:range(data,7,4),dateaddeddb:n:range(data,0,5),dateaddeddb:s:range(data,0,5),pl:w:range(data,15,3),ta:w:range(data,22,1),ff8-23:w:range(data,23,1),ff8-29:w:range(data,29,1),lf:w:range(data,33,1),bio:w:range(data,34,1), |
| 16:33 |
|
kados |
that's the 008 line |
| 16:33 |
|
kados |
Date:s:range(data,11,4) |
| 16:34 |
|
cm |
so it's indexing by what's in 008? |
| 16:34 |
|
kados |
tells you there's a sort index (the s) on the range 11-14 |
| 16:34 |
|
kados |
that's one way |
| 16:34 |
|
cm |
yes, i've been staring at the zebra documentation. :) |
| 16:34 |
|
kados |
melm 260$c Date,Date:s,Date:y |
| 16:34 |
|
kados |
there's another sort index on Date |
| 16:34 |
|
kados |
looks like there isn't one for 362 |
| 16:34 |
|
kados |
yet |
| 16:34 |
|
cm |
hmm, mine doesn't have Date:y. |
| 16:35 |
|
cm |
what does the :y do? |
| 16:35 |
|
kados |
that'd be the year index |
| 16:35 |
|
kados |
think I was just experimenting with it |
| 16:35 |
|
cm |
ok. |
| 16:35 |
|
kados |
the marc data's not consistantly 4 chars long so it didn't work IIRC |
| 16:35 |
|
kados |
so if you want to sort accurately by date |
| 16:35 |
|
cm |
that makes sense. |
| 16:35 |
|
kados |
you'll need to pick a field or fields to 'normalize' |
| 16:36 |
|
kados |
let me know if you need more info |
| 16:36 |
|
cm |
probably 260$c would be our most 'normal'. |
| 16:36 |
|
kados |
yea |
| 16:36 |
|
kados |
so you coul remove the sort index on 008 |
| 16:36 |
|
kados |
if you wanted to just have one place to deal with |
| 16:36 |
|
cm |
okay, simple enough. |
| 16:36 |
|
cm |
i'm fairly certain a lot of our dates in 008 are wrong. |
| 16:37 |
|
cm |
thanks! |

Hi! Anyone awake? :D |

lea hi |

|
Lea |
hi hdl. |
| 10:52 |
|
Lea |
i had a quick question: The data I've got exported from this windows system is MARC21, but it contains barcode information. Now I've got no issues with converting this data into a bibliography set, but what strategy should i employ on importing items |
| 10:57 |
|
hdl |
Lea : You have to |
| 10:58 |
|
hdl |
a) create a biblio |
| 10:58 |
|
hdl |
b) create an item attached to this biblio |
| 10:58 |
|
hdl |
You can use NEWnewbiblio and NEWnewitem. |
| 10:59 |
|
hdl |
with the same record (It is OK). |
| 10:59 |
|
hdl |
STOP |
| 10:59 |
|
hdl |
you'll get a problem |
