Ohio. I'm with the Nelsonville Public Library |

bchurch |
owen: I'm in Waterloo, Ontario |

regarding authoritied in Koha "the library can opt into the auto-detection of authority records when a record is saved." does this mean when you save a cataloging record? or the authority record? or both? |
| 13:25 |
|
hdl |
nengard: biblio record |
| 13:25 |
|
nengard |
thanks hdl - that's what i thought - but who knows ;) hehe |
| 13:26 |
|
hdl |
Since I knew, I could answer you ;) |

"Hi Nicole, do you know the "last seen" field in the item record does?" -- I don't have an answer - anyone know? |
| 13:45 |
|
paul |
I know the answer to this one ;-) |
| 13:45 |
|
paul |
it's the last date where the item has been seen in the library (checked in / checked out / inventoried) |
| 13:46 |
|
nengard |
thanks paul |

How do you transfer catalog records from the reservoir into the main catalog? The record has been imported but there is still an identical record in the reservoir. |
| 14:10 |
|
hdl |
bchurch: try to use managed staged import page in tools. |
| 14:25 |
|
gmcharlt |
actually, that won't work for a record that's been brought into reservoir via Z39.50 |
| 14:25 |
|
gmcharlt |
such records currently just live in the reservoir unless they're manually deleted using SQL |

Hello. I am trying to switch to zebra indexing. When I ran "rebuild_zebra.pl -b", I got several "Premature end of data in tag [subfield][datafield]" types of errors. Should I be concerned about this? |
| 14:29 |
|
gmcharlt |
MatthewMetzger: it means that some bib records had problems during character conversion |
| 14:29 |
|
gmcharlt |
MatthewMetzger: only the records listed are affected, the rest should be indexed OK |
| 14:30 |
|
gmcharlt |
how many of these errors did you get? |
| 14:31 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
gmcharlt: just a couple, maybe three or four. I'll have to check. |
| 14:33 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
gmcharlt: I think that there are only two, but that each of these records has more than one problem. Is "problem with :5957" what I'm looking for? |
| 14:33 |
|
gmcharlt |
not sure, haven't seen that particular message, but I assume so |
| 14:35 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
gmcharlt: okay. I think there's just two records. I'm assuming that if I don't fix them that they will not be indexed in zebra. Do you have any suggested documentation on how to fix these records so that they can be indexed by zebra? |
| 14:37 |
|
gmcharlt |
MatthewMetzger: not as such. my suggestion is to identify them, delete them using SQL, and reload them (make sure you're running at least beta2 first) |
| 14:37 |
|
gmcharlt |
MatthewMetzger: other ways are posssible, but some code would have to be written |
| 14:37 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
gmcharlt: by "reload" I assume entering these records again through the admin interface. |
| 14:38 |
|
gmcharlt |
yes |
| 14:38 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
okay. I think I can figure that out :) thanks for your help. |
| 14:38 |
|
gmcharlt |
you're welcome |

MatthewMetzger |
Hello again. |
| 15:34 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
I removed those bibs and the indexing went better. However, at the end there are some messages about log, warn, and fatal. |
| 15:34 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
I'll post them here as it is not that many lines. |
| 15:34 |

MatthewMetzger |
my koha.xml must be wrong? |
| 15:41 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
I haven't set up a zebradbs user. It looks like that is the problem from that path error. I'll interface with google for a while.... |
| 15:43 |
|
gmcharlt |
MatthewMetzger: yes, I too suspect something in your koha-conf.xml |
| 15:44 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
gmcharlt: Do I have to set up a zebradbs user in order to use zebra? I didn't think so. |
| 15:44 |
|
gmcharlt |
MatthewMetzger: no, you don't |
| 15:44 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
okay. Thanks. |
| 15:44 |
|
gmcharlt |
the OS user you're using for koha will work |
| 15:44 |
|
hdl |
MatthewMetzger: you may have to change permissions and user access to zebra directory though. |
| 15:45 |
|
hdl |
change things accordingly to your koha-conf.xml |
| 15:46 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
hdl: Okay. It looks like I'm on the right track now. :) |
| 16:23 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
okay. I think that I did everything correctly. rebuid_zebra.pl -b runs without any fatal errors now from the koha user. However, search does not work from the opac or the admin. |
| 16:23 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
I have one warning from rebuild_zebra.pl -b - 11:18:10-02/05 zebraidx(17182) [warn] No such record type: grs.marcxml.record |
| 16:24 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
I googled the error and came up empty. |
| 16:26 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
Well, I'm off to lunch for a half hour or so. I'll come back to this after lunch... |
| 16:33 |
|
hdl |
MatthewMetzger: seems that either cfg donot have the good path to modules or you have not installed grs.marcxml libraries for zebra. |
| 18:53 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
hdl: are the grs.marcxml libraries included in http://ftp.indexdata.dk/pub/ze[…]bra-2.0.28.tar.gz ? |
| 19:03 |
|
MatthewMetzger |
I installed idzebra-2.0.28 from source but still get this error: [warn] No such record type: grs.marcxml.record |

hey Danny |

|
Danny |
hey |
| 19:51 |
|
gmcharlt |
hi Danny |
| 19:52 |
|
atz |
greets Danny |
| 19:52 |
|
kados |
Danny: http://git.koha.org |
| 19:52 |
|
kados |
Danny: that's a web-based view of the version control system |
| 19:52 |
|
kados |
Danny: you might enjoy browsing |
| 19:52 |
|
kados |
owen: you around? |
| 19:52 |
|
Danny |
ok let me take a look |
| 19:53 |
|
owen |
Yes |
| 19:53 |
|
kados |
owen: meet Danny from Howard County |
| 19:53 |
|
kados |
Danny is a web designer |
| 19:53 |
|
owen |
Hi Danny |
| 19:53 |
|
kados |
Danny: hope that's your oficial title ... or did I get it wrong |
| 19:53 |
|
Danny |
hi Owen |
| 19:54 |
|
Danny |
ah close enough, I think offically it is web programmer |
| 19:55 |
|
Danny |
nice to meet you all and thanks for inviting me here |
| 19:56 |
|
kados |
owen: so as we suspected, Danny wants the blue background and the rounded corners like the HCL site |
| 19:57 |
|
kados |
I suspect the cleanest wy to accomplish that will be to add in whatever new class or ids we need to the existing markup, rather than have HCL create a customized set of templates |
| 19:57 |
|
kados |
owen: do you agree? |
| 19:58 |
|
owen |
Tentatively :) |
| 19:58 |
|
kados |
hehe |
| 19:58 |
|
kados |
pending proposed changes I suppose |
| 19:58 |
|
owen |
It it means a /lot/ of markup changes I'm going to be hesitant |
| 19:59 |
|
kados |
right |
| 19:59 |
|
owen |
But we do need flexibility. |
| 19:59 |
|
owen |
Danny, what are your browser requirements? |
| 19:59 |
|
Danny |
it would mean adding a quite a few extra divs, that I suppose most people wouldn't use |
| 20:01 |
|
kados |
Danny: on 'http://new.hclibrary.org/' ... I notice a few horizontal lines, one of the left-bottom and two on the right (one near the top and one near the bottom) of the lower two-panel section of the site |
| 20:01 |
|
kados |
Danny: are those lines part of the design? |
| 20:01 |
|
Danny |
well trying to make it work on as many as possible, however I primarly test with Firefox and IE7 |
| 20:02 |
|
Danny |
kados: those are part of the design for the front page only |
| 20:04 |
|
kados |
gotcha |
| 20:04 |
|
kados |
http://new.hclibrary.org/index.php?page=37 |
| 20:04 |
|
kados |
there's a good place to work from to model the results page I think |
| 20:05 |
|
kados |
with facets being equivilent to the Special Services, etc. |
| 20:05 |
|
Danny |
yes exactly |
| 20:06 |
|
owen |
Danny, how do you feel about javascript-driven rounded corners? |
| 20:08 |
|
Danny |
I played with nifty corners a bit, the problem is I couldn't get the effect I wanted |
| 20:08 |
|
Danny |
with the inner shadow |
| 20:11 |
|
owen |
Hmmm... I like the idea of js corners because it's less markup to change. But I don't like the fact that it requires javascript and that there can be a delay in the effect appearing |
| 20:11 |
|
owen |
But I'm inclined to think it might be worth pursuing further. How do you feel about that? |
| 20:12 |
|
kados |
Danny: so your current design is a sliding doors one? |
| 20:13 |
|
Danny |
owen: ah I understand what you were asking, I prefer the css over javascript because of those downsides you mentioned, my way around that was that I just call a php function openTable(); |
| 20:13 |
|
Danny |
owen: and that takes care of the markup |
| 20:14 |
|
Danny |
kados: what do you mean by sliding doors design? |
| 20:14 |
|
kados |
Danny: basically, modeled off of something like this: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/slidingdoors/ |
| 20:14 |
|
kados |
where it expands as needed |
| 20:14 |
|
kados |
based on the surrounding text size |
| 20:15 |
|
Danny |
right |
| 20:30 |
|
Danny |
have a good evening and great weekend everyone |
| 20:30 |
|
Danny |
I am heading out for today, but I'll definitely joining more frequently, thanks |

hrm... rain has the power around here going in/out |
| 21:27 |
|
kados |
athens is rain-free so far |
| 21:27 |
|
kados |
wonder if it's headed our way |
