i'm having some problems with searching in koha due to unicode normalization forms |
| 14:21 |
|
anxst |
could someone maybe help me out? |
| 14:22 |
|
anxst |
problem is that most of our biblios are stored in nfd/nfkd in mysql |
| 14:23 |
|
Snow_Fox |
sorry mango greek to me :( |
| 14:23 |
|
anxst |
now when i'm doing a search for a book (or author) with a diacritic in the name i don't get any results |
| 14:24 |
|
anxst |
cause naturally my keyboard input is nfc |
| 14:24 |
|
anxst |
is there an easy way to get around this? |
| 14:25 |
|
Snow_Fox |
umm, i havnt a clue, but i guess you could try changing the keyboard input to NFG or NFKD |
| 14:25 |
|
Snow_Fox |
NFD |
| 14:25 |
|
Snow_Fox |
sorry |
| 14:25 |
|
Snow_Fox |
beyond that i cant help you with this |
| 14:30 |
|
anxst |
i don't think is easily possible... if at all |
| 14:33 |
|
Snow_Fox |
you could well be right |
| 14:33 |
|
Snow_Fox |
now when you say diacritic thats a special character right? |
| 14:35 |
|
anxst |
yes, like a grave accent in french or a trema in german... stuff like ä or è |
| 14:36 |
|
Snow_Fox |
you will have to forgive me, i live in the middle of kansas we dont see many characters like that unless the folks in lindsborg have there festival |
| 14:38 |

| 16:49 |
|
Snow_Fox |
ok i keep reading about the opac being able to access a RSS feed |
| 16:49 |
|
Snow_Fox |
i guess i should ask |
| 16:49 |
|
Snow_Fox |
how does the uers do that technically with the opac demo |
| 16:50 |
|
Snow_Fox |
users |
| 16:50 |
|
Snow_Fox |
man i cant type this morning |
| 18:09 |
|
pianohacker |
There's an rss button on search pages |
| 18:38 |
|
Snow_Fox |
like on the users opac account? |
| 18:38 |
|
Snow_Fox |
or somewhere in the sys |
| 18:38 |
|
pianohacker |
On a search page |
| 19:32 |
|
Snow_Fox |
i be thinking that the demos dont be having that enabled |
| 19:32 |
|
pianohacker |
mebbe. Or I could be wrong |
| 19:44 |
|
chris |
morning |
| 19:54 |
|
Snow_Fox |
huh |
| 19:55 |
|
Snow_Fox |
someones Addy on MSN :Meaford - Where happiness goes to die |
| 19:55 |
|
Snow_Fox |
ive always wondered where it did that |
| 20:00 |
|
chris |
hehe |
| 20:00 |
|
Snow_Fox |
hey chris |
| 20:01 |
|
Snow_Fox |
RSS feeds in the OPAC |
| 20:01 |
|
Snow_Fox |
exist ya or na? |
| 20:02 |
|
chris |
yep |
| 20:02 |
|
chris |
they exist |
| 20:02 |
|
chris |
http://opac.koha.workbuffer.or[…]pac-search.pl?q=h |
| 20:03 |
|
chris |
see the little rss link next to the count of results? |
| 20:03 |
|
Snow_Fox |
ya |
| 20:03 |
|
Snow_Fox |
i do now |
| 20:04 |
|
Snow_Fox |
ok |
| 20:04 |
|
Snow_Fox |
so basically they can subscribe to that search as a RSS feed |
| 20:04 |
|
Snow_Fox |
and that would be native to there opac login? |
| 20:05 |
|
chris |
they dont have to be logged in |
| 20:05 |
|
chris |
you can subscribe to the rss of any search, logged in or not |
| 20:06 |
|
Snow_Fox |
and the results of that search will go to what ever collects there RSS feeds |
| 20:06 |
|
Snow_Fox |
right? |
| 20:06 |
|
chris |
yup |
| 20:06 |
|
Snow_Fox |
so really nothing changes OPAC wise then |
| 20:06 |
|
chris |
exactly |
| 20:06 |
|
Snow_Fox |
i see |
| 20:06 |
|
chris |
so a search ppl like to craft is one that shows new items |
| 20:07 |
|
chris |
what id suggest with that, is you take that, and put it through feedburned |
| 20:07 |
|
chris |
feedburner even |
| 20:07 |
|
chris |
and provide a link on your opac to the feedburner feed |
| 20:08 |
|
chris |
you can then track how many ppl are subscribe, and also feedburner fetches it once, .. even if 500 ppl are subscribe, so you dont get lots of extra searches |
| 20:10 |
|
chris |
(ie add it to the opac homepage) |
| 20:10 |
|
Snow_Fox |
i see |
