hello, I half asked this a little while ago and people weren't sure - how can I set up "see also" references in my koha catalogue? (if I can at all?) |
| 12:34 |
|
paul |
hi martinmorris_ : the answer or your question is in framework parameters |
| 12:34 |
|
martinmorris_ |
the biblio framework? |
| 12:37 |
|
kados |
morning martinmorris, jaron ... afternoon paul |
| 12:37 |
|
martinmorris |
hello kados |
| 12:38 |
|
kados |
martinmorris: you need to set up authorities and in your biblio framework, link a given field to an authority type |
| 12:38 |
|
martinmorris |
right, i've been doing that |
| 12:38 |
|
martinmorris |
and the authority has other names for that author, so any search under those other names should work? |
| 12:38 |
|
kados |
yep |
| 12:38 |
|
martinmorris |
fair enough |
| 12:39 |
|
kados |
I'm not sure if by default every author search will do an authority search, that might be something you'll have to customize in the template |
| 12:39 |
|
jaron |
hello, martinmorris, kados |
| 12:39 |
|
martinmorris |
hello jaron :) |
| 12:40 |
|
martinmorris |
ah, well if it doesn't do that search I'd have no idea how to customise it so that may have to wait :) |
| 12:42 |
|
kados |
so paul_ ... chris will arrive tomorrow morning US time |
| 12:43 |
|
kados |
paul_: do you want to coordinate a meeting with chris, hdl, you, ryan and I (and any other dev that wants)? |
| 12:43 |
|
kados |
chris will be here for two weeks and I want to focus our energy on 3.0 |
| 12:47 |
|
paul |
kados : i'm OK, but not before 5PM (paris, GMT+2) : for 2 weeks i have 2 "students" from new caledonia |
| 12:47 |
|
paul |
(the llargest caledonian libraries moves to Koha) |
| 12:48 |

(the llargest caledonian library moves to Koha) |
| 12:48 |
|
kados |
cool |
| 12:56 |
|
martinmorris |
just to say that author searches don't appear to do authority searches, in answer to what you were wondering earlier kados |
| 12:56 |
|
martinmorris |
would that be a modification to search.pl? |
| 13:19 |
|
kados |
martinmorris: see if your author links on a detail page do an authorities search |
| 13:19 |
|
martinmorris |
sorry what do you mean? |
| 13:19 |
|
martinmorris |
being a bit dense here! |
| 13:19 |
|
kados |
go to a detail page |
| 13:19 |
|
kados |
for one of your records |
| 13:19 |
|
kados |
and click on the author link |
| 13:20 |
|
kados |
see if it does an authority search or a bib search |
| 13:20 |
|
martinmorris |
ah OK hold on |
| 13:21 |
|
martinmorris |
by the detail page you mean the MARC view? |
| 13:21 |
|
martinmorris |
there's an Auth button next to the author's name |
| 13:21 |
|
martinmorris |
100$a |
| 13:22 |
|
martinmorris |
when i click on that button it goes to the detailed view of the authority |
| 13:22 |
|
kados |
not the MARC view |
| 13:22 |
|
martinmorris |
ah OK... |
| 13:22 |
|
martinmorris |
the brief display which has the author's name as a hyperlink? |
| 13:22 |
|
kados |
yep |
| 13:23 |
|
martinmorris |
clicking on that seems to do a search of biblios |
| 13:23 |
|
kados |
there may be a syspref for changing that |
| 13:24 |
|
kados |
ahh |
| 13:24 |
|
martinmorris |
...? |
| 13:24 |
|
kados |
Disable_Dictionary |
| 13:24 |
|
kados |
in the OPAC tab |
| 13:24 |
|
martinmorris |
ah, OK |
| 13:24 |
|
kados |
try flipping that switch to off |
| 13:24 |
|
kados |
you should get a new 'authoritiy headings search' in opac-main when you do that |
| 13:25 |
|
martinmorris |
it's already set to 'no' |
| 13:25 |
|
kados |
which can give you some hints on how to do a name authority search |
| 13:25 |
|
kados |
http://opac.liblime.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-main.pl |
| 13:25 |
|
kados |
so see the 'Authorities Headings Search'? |
| 13:25 |
|
martinmorris |
yes, I get that |
| 13:25 |
|
kados |
cool |
| 13:25 |
|
kados |
so that's how you do an authorities search :-) |
| 13:25 |
|
martinmorris |
but i was wondering if i could just type in the pseudonym in the intranet catalog search button |
| 13:25 |
|
kados |
take a look at that form |
| 13:26 |
|
martinmorris |
ok |
| 13:26 |
|
kados |
if you look at the 'Anywhere' 'contains' line, that'll be the one you want |
| 13:26 |
|
kados |
and restrict to Personal Name |
| 13:26 |
|
kados |
man, this stuff is so much easier in 3.0 it's not funny |
| 13:27 |
|
martinmorris |
fair enough - i take it that's not due for a while though? |
| 13:27 |
|
kados |
september I hope |
| 13:27 |
|
kados |
we'll see how the next two weeks go |
| 13:27 |
|
martinmorris |
ooh, that soon |
| 13:27 |
|
kados |
we've been overwhelmed with new development work |
| 13:28 |
|
kados |
so working on the release has been really hard to prioritize |
| 13:28 |
|
martinmorris |
well i'm no developer but i used to do lots of documentation - let me know if I can help |
| 13:28 |
|
kados |
sweet, much appreciated |
| 13:28 |
|
martinmorris |
np |
| 13:28 |
|
kados |
I'll be sending a mail out tomorrow |
| 13:28 |
|
kados |
about our schedule for the next two weeks |
| 13:28 |
|
martinmorris |
ok |
| 13:29 |
|
kados |
chris is coming to the US, and ryan and I have cleared our plates so we can focus on the release and other 3.0ish stuff |
| 13:29 |
|
martinmorris |
well good luck to you |
| 13:30 |
|
martinmorris |

| 13:30 |
|
martinmorris |

| 13:30 |
|
kados |

martinmorris |
Hello |
| 20:20 |
|
martinmorris |
is there a way of undeleting a marc record i've nuked by mistake? |
| 20:21 |
|
martinmorris |
i know there's a deleted MARC table in the database |
| 20:28 |
|
owen |
martinmorris: I don't think there's an automated way to do it |
| 20:28 |
|
martinmorris |
fair enough, it was easy to reenter, i just wondered |
| 20:32 |
|
jaron |
martinmorris: I've gotten in the habit of saving lots of backups and each time I work exporting all the MARC records to file. |
| 20:33 |
|
martinmorris |
that's what i normally do, but this was only one record so it wasn't an urgent thing :) |
| 21:18 |
|
martinmorris |
is there somewhere that keeps archive of conversations on here? |
| 21:18 |
|
martinmorris |
i'm trying to find the answer to a problem i was helped with before :) |
