01:49 * Brooke is coming dangerously close to messin' with Tejas.
01:49 druthb :P  mess with 'em.
02:20 * Brooke ponders the meaning of life in the monastic resonation of #koha.
02:22 * ibeardsle was about to look up our local council library for either the Monty Python movie or HHGTTG .. but remembered 'we' use a non-koha system
02:23 Brooke are you not automated at all?
02:23 druthb Pie Iesu domine,
02:23 * druthb whacks herself in the forehead.
02:23 ibeardsle there would be no "monastic resonation of #koha" with a system that wasn't koha
02:23 druthb dona eis requiem
02:23 * druthb whacks herself in the head again, and shambles back to her corner.
02:23 Brooke yeah but I wouldn't have to ponder the meaning of life

06:30 kmkale In Staff client search if I search a Author's name with Author as phrase I get results but If I search it with Personal Name I dont get any results. What is wrong?

09:20 cirbirian hello everyone
09:20 cirbirian greetings from spain
09:21 cirbirian I´m newbie with Koha and I´ve a doubt about cataloguing using Z39.50
09:21 cirbirian I try to catalogue this book: "General Theory of Lie Groupoids and Lie Algebroids"
09:22 cirbirian y pick on z39.50 Search
09:22 cirbirian write the Title, choose LOC Z39.50
09:23 cirbirian and when I import the book, there is not title
09:23 cirbirian there is not author
09:23 hdl joined #koha
09:23 cirbirian also there is not date
09:24 cirbirian why?
09:24 cirbirian the author appears in field 100.a (General Proceesing Data)

09:48 slef cirbirian: are you a unimarc library?
09:48 slef @marc 100 a
09:48 munin slef: Personal name A surname and/or forename; letters, initials, abbreviations, phrases, or numbers used in place of a name; or a family name.
09:49 slef you see, that's 100$a in MARC21 and LOC uses MARC21.  If you use unimarc, LOC is not sending useful data.
09:50 slef cirbirian: greetings by the way. One of my colleagues is in Spain, but not here now.
09:50 wasabi lol, ah yeah… welcome to your daily marc-wtf  :)
09:50 wasabi heya cirbirian
09:51 wasabi go spain!! :)
09:51 wasabi go xercode!!!
09:52 slef wasabi--
09:53 wasabi oops, sorry - i thought cirbirian was from spain
09:54 wasabi oh, he is :-P
09:54 slef cirbirian is, but the co-op serves spain too... and I'm trying to help... but if cirbirian is a xercode customer, why ask here?
09:55 slef Koha vendors do not carve up the world along national borders
09:55 wasabi lol, i didnt say he was....
09:55 cirbirian hello again
09:55 cirbirian yes
09:55 cirbirian i´m from spain
09:55 cirbirian in almeria
09:55 cirbirian now it´s rainning a lot!
09:55 kmkale left #koha
09:56 slef @wunder almeria, Spain
09:56 munin slef: The current temperature in Almeria, Spain is 10.0�C (10:30 AM CET on January 27, 2011). Conditions: Drizzle. Humidity: 76%. Dew Point: 6.0�C. Pressure: 29.50 in 999 hPa (Steady).
09:56 wasabi im just a xercode fan, coz they donated to kohacon2010…. thats all.. :)
09:56 cirbirian friends, I´ve to go now
09:56 cirbirian but in 30-45 mins I´ll back again
09:56 wasabi i really appreciated their guesture
09:56 wasabi cool, cya cirbirian
09:56 slef wasabi: we offered. Not taken up in the end.
09:57 cirbirian see you later
09:57 wasabi ahh, click
09:58 slef but hey, we're bidding for kohacon11, although I think Nepal may win
09:59 wasabi hey… its still fine for a guy to come to #koha, as ask a Q tho...
10:00 wasabi … regardless of who she/he works for/with
10:00 wasabi wasabi++
10:00 munin wasabi: Error: You're not allowed to adjust your own karma.
10:01 slef yeah, but it makes me wonder if their vendor is not supporting their clients
10:01 kmkale joined #koha
10:02 wasabi perhaps he's just a proactive problem solver, like the rest of us :)
10:02 wasabi hey… thats why im'  'always-on' on #koha too ;)
10:03 wasabi well, and the weather updates too! , lol
10:03 kf wasabi++
10:03 kf slef: I support uk - although it might be a little egoistic
10:04 wasabi all good.. nepal sounds *very* exciting too!!
10:04 * wasabi wonders what the vege-type food is like in nepal…
10:04 wasabi ive no idea...
10:05 slef wasabi: oh yeah, for sure. But don't assume everyone in Spain buys from xercode or everyone in the US buys from ByWater... it upsets me ;-)
10:06 wasabi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepalese_cuisine
10:06 wasabi w0w, looks good!
10:07 wasabi slef:  i didnt assume that before tho :)
10:08 wasabi i just said ," yay spain, yay xercode", thats all ….
10:08 wasabi no assumptions there :)
10:08 slef wasabi: well, randomly cheering a competing vendor while I'm here helping is a bit upsetting.
10:09 wasabi lol, programmers...
10:09 slef kf: do you mean egoistic or selfish?
10:09 slef kf: either way, thank you for your support :)
10:09 wasabi slef:  yep, you are right there, sorry...
10:11 slef wasabi: np
10:11 chris_n` joined #koha
10:11 wasabi and good spotting on the marc21/unimarc too
10:12 wasabi i didnt twig to it :/
10:12 kf slef: can you explain the difference?
10:13 wasabi hmm, they are pretty similar to me
10:13 slef kf: I think egoistic means self-pleasing (not in a bad way), whereas selfish means concerned with one's own needs (not necessarily in a bad way, but often is)
10:15 wasabi ah, yeah there is a diff
10:15 chris_n left #koha
10:15 wasabi selfish is not concerned with others
10:16 wasabi egotistical is *only* concerned with self
10:16 wasabi but basically the same thing, said in two ways ? :)
10:18 stephane_ left #koha
10:18 wasabi nepali food, via google -> http://bit.ly/gXcu0a
10:19 slef wasabi: I think pleasure against needs is a different emphasis.

10:19 wasabi *nod* nice point

10:19 munin slef: Error: "swine!" is not a valid command.

12:28 cirbirian hello people
12:28 druthb g'mornin.
12:28 kf hi nengard and druthb :)
12:29 cirbirian why when I try to make a search, the OPAC says: An Error has Occurred
12:29 cirbirian Error 404
12:29 cirbirian I´ve catalogued a book
12:29 cirbirian and when I try to make its search I get that error message
12:30 wasabi cirbirian: check your apache error.log 1st, alwayzz
12:33 nengard hi kf
12:33 cirbirian I´ve been playing with frameworks
12:34 cirbirian yesterday I created a framework
12:34 cirbirian and catalogued 1 book
12:34 cirbirian with that framework
12:34 cirbirian today I installed the FAST ADD framework
12:34 cirbirian and deleted the one I created yesterday
12:35 cirbirian I do not know if that has something to do with the error in the search
12:36 wasabi yeah, probably ;)
12:36 cirbirian so what can I do?
12:36 wasabi you can test that by loading in your old frameworks,
12:36 cirbirian thanks to god I´m just trying
12:37 cirbirian my I deleted the old framework
12:37 cirbirian but I deleted..
12:37 wasabi the one from your backup, before you did the framework change, etc...
12:37 cirbirian i think the problem is bigger
12:37 cirbirian because if I catalogue 1 book with the new and actived framework (FAST ADD FRAMEWORK)
12:38 cirbirian the book doesn´t appear in the search
12:38 cirbirian I get the same 404 error
12:38 sophie_m joined #koha
12:38 wasabi yep, check that error log
12:39 cirbirian it´s strange
12:39 wasabi start your testing on a system, before you change/break it
12:39 cirbirian the error log only show logs until 26 january
12:40 cirbirian yes
12:40 cirbirian koha is installed in a laptop
12:40 kf cirbirian: are your cronjobs configured for reindexing?
12:40 cirbirian for testing purposing
12:40 kf and you should always keep the default framework, even if you are not using it
12:41 cirbirian yes it´s keeped
12:41 cirbirian I don´t use it
12:41 cirbirian <kf> what is cronjobs?
12:41 wasabi yeah, start the install again...
12:41 wasabi take a backup, get the search working
12:42 wasabi then start fiddling
12:42 cirbirian I´m lost :(
12:42 cirbirian should I reinstall again Koha?
12:43 wasabi yeah, def.
12:43 cirbirian ok
12:43 cirbirian I promise I won´t delete any framework
12:43 cirbirian nevermore
12:43 wasabi then a mysqldump backup...
12:43 cirbirian friends I´ve to go to launch
12:44 jwagner joined #koha
12:44 cirbirian I´ll be back around 14:30 PM (in Spain)
12:44 wasabi choose zebra option
12:44 druthb hi, jwagner
12:44 cirbirian thanks
12:44 wasabi and dev install
12:44 kf cirbirian: the cronjobs do the indexing
12:44 kf so you can search
12:44 kf and remove deleted titles from the index
12:44 jwagner hi druthb and all
12:44 kf I think part of your problem sounds like indexing problems
12:45 kmkale left #koha
12:45 cirbirian I think if I reinstall again I should not get that errors
12:45 cirbirian and I´ll be more careful
12:45 wasabi cirbirian: you shouldnt need to make *any* changes after a fresh install to create/import and bib
12:45 wasabi and search successfully for the bib
12:46 cirbirian ok
12:46 wasabi so concentrate on that 1st
12:46 cirbirian reinstall then
12:46 cirbirian I go
12:46 cirbirian See you later
12:46 wasabi http://git.koha-community.org/[…];f=INSTALL.debian

12:56 kmkale I have author name in 100$a MARC21. In Staff client if I search a Author's name with Author as phrase I get results but If I search it with Personal Name I dont get any results. What is wrong?
12:59 wasabi personal-name is 600$a in marc21
13:00 wasabi and works for me, on 3.2.3
13:01 kmkale thanks wasabi Will try it

13:04 kmkale humph!!
13:04 wasabi lol, daily marc-wtf ;)
13:05 kmkale ;)
13:05 wasabi kmkale:  pass, im not really a cataloger  :/
13:05 ebegin good morning
13:06 kmkale good morning ebegin
13:06 ebegin @wunder montreal, quebec
13:06 munin ebegin: The current temperature in Montreal / Dorval International, Que, Quebec is -6.0�C (7:00 AM EST on January 27, 2011). Conditions: Partly Cloudy. Humidity: 75%. Dew Point: -9.0�C. Pressure: 29.79 in 1009 hPa (Rising).
13:06 kmkale me too wasabi
13:06 ebegin Getting hotter :)
13:07 wasabi kmkale:  its a confusing search, i think
13:07 ebegin Is there a way to search without the left truncation in order to have a kind of "Search title starting with _____"
13:08 kmkale wasabi: MARC is confucing I think :)
13:09 wasabi most people dont realize they are ?only? searching the 6xx fields on a 'personal-name' search
13:10 kmkale ebegin: is there a way to search for middle part of a word? for example search for xam in 'example'? (does it even make sense to search like that?). I just had this query from a librarian :(
13:12 wasabi ebegin:  pass on that one
13:12 owen joined #koha
13:14 wasabi kmkale:  whew.. looks like a personal-name search is widered than just the 6xx stuff
13:14 wasabi fields 100, 400, 600, 700, 800
13:15 wasabi http://git.koha-community.org/[…]0238;hb=HEAD#l533
13:15 wasabi wider
13:16 tcohen joined #koha
13:18 ebegin kmkale, I think koha should find that 'xam' in example...
13:19 kmkale its not doing it on my catalogue right now.
13:21 kmkale so for personal name the cataloguer has to choose which of the *00$a is right for the item type s/he is cataloguing is that it?
13:21 * gmcharlt wonders about that - it's not like 'xam' has any linguistic meaning all by itself
13:22 druthb kmkale:  the type of item doesn't have much to do with it.  +
13:22 gmcharlt ebegin: do you know what search the librarian is trying to do for real?
13:23 druthb The field to choose has to do with the relationship between the person named, and the item.  100, if the person is the primary author, 700, if they are an added or partial author...600, if the book is *about* them as a subject, and so on.
13:23 kmkale so they just put the personal name in all fields 100, 400, 600, 700, 800?
13:23 wasabi kmkale: a cataloger knows which field to chose, 1xx or 6xx, etc
13:23 kmkale oh
13:23 wasabi lol, no
13:23 ebegin gmcharlt, find all documents starting by "Reports" for instance
13:23 kmkale but then when in staff we search on personal name and name as phrase it s bit confusing IMHO
13:23 druthb catalogers spend a ton of time learning this stuff.  Incredible detail can go into those records.
13:24 wasabi if in doubt, *i* would just choose one
13:24 jcamins_a is now known as jcamins
13:24 jcamins I can confirm that it makes a huge difference which x00 field is chosen.
13:24 jcamins And, good morning.
13:24 kmkale good morning jcamins
13:24 druthb g'morning, jcamins!
13:24 ebegin gmcharlt, and they doesn't want all document containing the word "reports"
13:25 gmcharlt ebegin: thanks for clarifying - that kind of search (start of phrase or heading) is a little different from the 'xam' example
13:26 kmkale i guess there is a reason why that kinda search is only there in staff interface. Library staff are suppoed to intuitively understand thye diference?
13:26 ebegin gmcharlt, I agree. Basically, it to remove the left truncation... Is this possible?
13:27 gmcharlt ebegin: in principle; I'd have to work out the details
13:27 ebegin (I would have to add an option in the advanced search, of course
13:27 wasabi kmkale: not intuitively , but yes, understand
13:28 kmkale Good for them ( And me. Now I can tell them "You are supposed to know this!!" ;) )
13:28 wasabi those 'power-user' options confuse patrons, so are hidden by default, i assume
13:29 druthb is now known as drb_food
13:30 jcamins kmkale: just so you know, corporate name searches don't work properly at the moment.
13:30 jcamins There's a bug in the indexing.
13:30 jcamins I'll be submitting a patch.
13:31 wasabi kmkale:  if in doubt with searching, turn the debug up , and watch the log
13:32 wasabi you can see the query being built, and sent to zebra , etc
13:32 wasabi so you then know what zebra indexes are being searched
13:32 kmkale I dont want to be the one telling the librarians this MARC stuff. They are supposed to tell me!! But here the public libraries are so under funded, they never have qualified staff.
13:34 wasabi teach them to use irc, they can ask themselves :)
13:35 wasabi seriously, its a novel idea
13:36 kmkale Yup. Wherever we go with granthalaya.org we try. VPM librarians help in training them.
13:37 wasabi an always-on #irc channel of experts is something no other $ILS-VENDOR  could offer
13:38 kmkale :) wasabi good idea. Get them on #koha. Its the friendliest channel I know :)

13:38 jcamins @later tell cait I'm looking at Marcel de Rooy's patch for bug 5622. A) It's really cool! B) if you added a test for leader19='c' for the "Set" label, would that meet your needs?

14:12 munin Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=4903 major, PATCH-Sent, ---, gmcharlt, ASSIGNED, OAI doesn't work out of the box - XSL path
14:12 tcohen PKP Harvester on http://catalogo.biblio.unc.edu.ar
14:12 sekjal left #koha
14:13 owen Let me rephrase that :)
14:13 owen How do *I* test the bug?
14:13 tcohen on unpatched installs retreival fails and logs say a (wrong) path to the xsl file doesn't exist
14:14 tcohen owen: i don't get it
14:14 owen How can I confirm the bug on my own local installation
14:15 tcohen the problem arises on a 'standard' install, when trying to retreive records
14:15 tcohen via OAI
14:15 tcohen it works as-is on a dev install, but not a standard one
14:16 sekjal joined #koha
14:19 * owen has a dev install, so I can't help
14:19 kmkale yippe on Ubuntu 11.04 I only had to install one perl module Locale::Currency::Format from CPAN. And Storable to get the required version :)
14:19 owen Anyone know what Koha is doing when it searches "Publication Date (yyyy)" ?
14:20 owen The results page says "'yr,st-numeric:"
14:20 owen But the results are not limited to the year I'm searching
14:22 sekjal owen:  pubyear:  008/7-10, indexed in year,word,num,sort indexes
14:22 sekjal (from record.abs)

14:24 owen In my search for "2010" the first hit I get is a 2008 record
14:25 jcamins_a owen: Really?
14:26 owen Honest :)
14:26 jcamins_a I just tried it in your catalog and it worked right.
14:26 jcamins_a is now known as jcamins
14:26 chris_n` is now known as chris_n
14:26 schuster joined #koha
14:26 chris_n refresh my very short memory: where do we setup the library hours of operation?
14:28 owen jcamins: I'm trying this in my test installation
14:28 jcamins owen: oh.
14:28 jcamins Right.
14:29 jwagner chris_n, Tools, Calendar
14:29 jcamins Mis-cataloged?
14:29 owen jcamins: What test did you try in our live catalog? Was it in the OPAC?
14:29 jcamins Yes.
14:30 jcamins Are you in the staff client and getting different results than the OPAC
14:30 chris_n jwagner: yes, but this assumes the library is open from midnight to midnight
14:30 hdl hi all
14:30 chris_n hi hdl
14:31 jwagner chris_n, sorry, didn't read the "hours" part closely enough :-)
14:31 chris_n :)
14:31 owen jcamins: I'm trying an advanced search, choosing "Publication Date (yyyy)" from the dropdown
14:31 hdl chris_n: I don't think it is defined somewhere.
14:31 paul_p hello american ppl !
14:31 * chris_n figures he will just setup the cronjob to calc overdues at the hour the library closes...
14:31 jcamins Ohhh.
14:31 chris_n hi paul_p
14:32 jcamins That dropdown has issues.
14:32 paul_p owen, do you have a few minut to spend on #5575? your comment 23 does not clearly show wether there is something  to do still
14:32 paul_p (at least I don't know if I have something to do ;-) )
14:32 marcelr left #koha
14:33 jwagner chris_n, will that work for overdues?  It's looking for the date the item is due, so doesn't it have to be run after midnight?
14:34 owen The advanced search on Publication Date (YYYY) is constructed differently than the OPAC's "Publication date range" search
14:35 jwagner There are one or more bug reports on the pubyear search, aren't there?
14:35 chris_n jwagner: I think you are right there... I didn't think of that
14:35 chris_n seems there may be a needed enhancement lurking here somewhere
14:36 owen paul_p: I haven't had time to work on that in a few days. I think that right now there isn't anything I'm waiting to hear from you about.
14:36 owen I do want to do more testing.
14:36 jcamins owen: I can confirm there's a bug, but I have no idea what it is.
14:36 paul_p owen, any timeline for those testings ?
14:37 paul_p (owen: did I tell you I *really* appreciate the time you spend on our branches)
14:37 owen Sorry, no
14:37 owen paul_p: I would much prefer to be testing your stuff today, but other stuff is taking precedence.

17:50 sekjal chris:  my TARDIS is still on order
17:51 sekjal should arrive anywhere from 10 years ago to next century... hard to say
17:51 gmcharlt that's the problem with TARDISs - if you actually take delivery of one, you can get it to yourself earlier - but nobody has gotten to that point yet
17:52 chris hehe
17:53 owen Assuming you're in an episode that allows travel back within your own timeline </nerd>
17:53 gmcharlt true, avoiding an explosion that destorys the universe on redelivery is an issue
17:53 owen Actually there isn't a </nerd> big enough to stop all my nerdiness.

20:28 Brooke moon over my spammy!
20:28 Brooke Koha Tikanga
20:28 Brooke As with any culture, understanding Koha etiquette takes time, effort, and practice. If you are unsure about your conduct, seek out the Kaitiaki.
20:28 Brooke The community is larger than any individual or any vendor. We are related and intertwined. Enthusiasm and fun nourish the project.
20:28 Brooke There exists a white space of balance between the black of the developers and the red of the librarians. The pattern is harmonious and code absent all three is devoid of meaning.
20:28 Brooke We build upon the work of the past, while seeking innovative twists. We aren't afraid to break from the pack if it means a better product for our users and their patrons.
20:28 Brooke Call things as you see them. Constructive criticism is the fuel of innovation. Respecting another's mana and keeping discourse welcoming to newcomers is the lifeblood of the project.
20:28 Brooke We pride ourselves on pairing high quality craftsmanship with unmatched accessibility. In the words of MJ Ray "The professionals have really messed stuff up for the artisans."
20:28 Brooke While financial support is a fine fuel for development, alternatives are present. Professionals are paid in coin; artisans derive satisfaction from the work itself.
