i'm trying to test printing labels with diacritics in author names. does anyone know of a catalog i can search, and export/save the marcxml so i can import and see if it prints in my koha 3.8.1 test system? |
04:52 |

when a user logs in to the OPAC the username password box in right column disappears... how can I add some other box in right column so that there is always a right column? |
04:56 |
|
Oak |
for example we have OpacNav in preferences to do that for left column... |

I think we have the google code to up us in the rankings? |
08:22 |

thats definitely what the google+ is for |

which is something we really need to do - had to explain the difference so many times this last week :( |

is there an official FB page for the real Koha? |

what is the link? |

08:36 |
|

some people on facebook have hundreds of friends, who have hundreds of friends, who have... so why not list the link to our facebook page on right column on koha-community.org? we can't deny that facebook help is search engine's page ranking? |
08:37 |

i am trying to fix/improve bug 2246 so label printing via PDF prints diacritics for common cases. |
14:10 |
|
huginn` |
Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=2246 critical, PATCH-Sent (DO NOT USE), ---, cnighswonger, Pushed to Master , Label printing doesn't work with Unicode characters |
14:11 |
|
wajasu |
i installed 3.8.1 on a virtual machine, running the latest stable debian squeeze last night. |
14:33 |
|
wajasu |
if i sign into and pull up more -> tools -> label creator -> batches -> new batch -> add items -> select author dropdown -> type JURGEN -> selectall -> addchecked -> check a bunch in the batch -> export items -> select label template and barcode data -> export -> download PDF. |
14:34 |
|
wajasu |
now when i open the pdf, my jurgen entries which should have two dots over the "u" show up as two characters. |
14:34 |
|
cait |
how did you enter jürgen? |
14:34 |
|
cait |
did you copy it from somewhere? |
14:34 |
|
cait |
could you try copying my jürgen from here and trying that? |
14:35 |
|
wajasu |
i converted the database 3 years ago using a custom program, using staged marc import. |
14:37 |
|
wajasu |
i went to someone elses catalog and search for a record with jurgen, and saved the record as utf8 standard, then imported it through staged import. I hve the same issue. I use marc21 for my flavor. |
14:39 |
|
wajasu |
i have the problem for all diacritics printing labels. like i said, i used the latest koha. |
14:39 |
|
|
druthb left #koha |
14:39 |
|
wajasu |
i just want to know if it works for other people |
14:41 |
|
wajasu |
i applied my fix to label-create-pdf.pl and it fixes the problem, but i wonder if the data in my database is normalized wrong. |
14:41 |
|
wajasu |
everything looks fine in firefox/web. |
14:41 |
|
cait |
wajasu: ü can be done in 2 different ways in unicode |
14:41 |
|
cait |
as 2 characters or as one, different normalization forms |
14:41 |
|
cait |
that's why I was asking |
14:45 |
|
wajasu |
i did select biblionumber,author,HEX(author),title from biblio where author like '%rgen%'; in mysql to see how the data is encoded. i see C3BC, in many of my entries. I see C3B8 as well. |
14:48 |
|
wajasu |
i was hoping someone who was savy enough, could do that query on their database, and tell me if they have C3BC or something else. I would then know if my database was correct, or if its been encoded twice. |
14:48 |
|
drojf1 |
should the sql data not be utf8? C3BC seems latin1-ish to me |
14:51 |
|
wajasu |
thats what i am trying to find out. |
14:53 |
|
cait |
don't know about the hex codes sorry |
14:53 |
|
wajasu |
most of these records were probably pulled from z39.50 servers. |
14:54 |
|
wajasu |
http://www.fileformat.info/inf[…]char/fc/index.htm |
14:56 |
|
wajasu |
i just need someone to do the query i mentioned above, to see if their database is encoded the same way to validate my database. then i need them to print a pdf label and see if they have a problem as well. |
14:57 |
|
wajasu |
if they have a problem, then if they could do a quick one line fix in label-creator-pdf.pl like i have done, to get the diacritics printing correctly. |
15:00 |
|
wajasu |
OR do i need to write a program to reencode my database? |
15:05 |
|
cait |
sorry wajasu |
15:05 |
|
cait |
I am not much help here |
15:09 |
|
wajasu |
this is a tough issue i am trying to figure out. i just did a z3950 search for jurgen and imported it. i am waiting for zebra to index. and will see if the label is fine. |
15:09 |
|
cait |
I think you can get it in different ways from different z39.50 servers |
15:09 |
|
cait |
it#s both valid utf-8 |
15:09 |
|
cait |
last time I tested the label creator with umlauts it worked - but it was sure a longer time ago |
15:10 |
|
wajasu |
i just used the z3950 and did the Import link. My sql query shows C3BC. |
15:11 |
|
wajasu |
it came from the LOC. |
15:11 |
|
jcamins |
You need to change z39.50 encoding to marc 8. |
15:11 |
|
wajasu |
hmmm. |
15:12 |
|
wajasu |
let me try to see how. |

question: |
15:37 |
|
Oak |
when a user logs in to the OPAC the username password box in right column disappears... how can I add some other box in right column so that there is always a right column? |
15:37 |
|
cait |
hm |
15:37 |
|
cait |
not sure |
15:37 |
|
Oak |
hmm. i'll dig. |
15:37 |
|
cait |
might be someting you can do with yui... do you want the column on all pages? |
15:37 |
|
Oak |
nope. |
15:37 |
|
Oak |
just on the main page of OPAC |
15:38 |
|
cait |
I think you could use jquery |
15:38 |
|
Oak |
hmm. |
15:38 |
|
Oak |
can I just edit cgi-bin/koha/opac-main.pl |
15:38 |
|
Oak |
and add it manually inside <div class="yui-u"> |
15:39 |
|
Oak |
that opac-main.pl is responsible for the main page? |
15:39 |
|
Oak |
no that won;t work |
15:39 |
|
Oak |
because when a user log in and we go to the main page there is no right column... so it must be dynamic something |
15:40 |
|
cait |
I am not sure I understand what you want to do |
15:40 |
|
cait |
and editing the tmpl files will probably not make you so happy when you plan your next update :) |
15:40 |

already looks very nice! |
15:45 |
|
cait |
I think perhaps check the yui elements |
15:45 |

I think this has something to do with the yui grid system |

you have yellow blue and green there |

15:54 |

cait |
but Ithink working with 3 colors works most of the time |
15:54 |
|
cait |
well... 3 matching colors :) |
15:54 |
|
Oak |

i use this to get colors: http://colorschemedesigner.com/ |
15:55 |
|
Oak |
you give it one color, and it tells you 2, 3 or more colors that will work with it |
15:55 |
|
cait |
perhaps try to give it the blue from the homepage |
15:55 |
|
cait |
and see what it comes up with? |
15:56 |
|
Oak |
okay. |
15:56 |

if i take a biblio and edit it. even if i cutnpaste jürgen, and print label to pdf, i always see ü as (tilde over capital A, and 1/4 fraction character). the leader has "a" in leader postion 9. |

if the OS os debian squeeze, and the koha-common code is 3.8.1, and printing labels with diacritics does this, what is different in my system so that it doesn't work? mysql database is utf8 etc. |
16:53 |
|
wajasu |
if there a test catalogue is can sign in as staff and find a record with a diacritic, and print a label to see if its just my system? |

i tried a marc21 sandbox but when i try to print a label, no text shows above the barcode. i also tried at bywater, and my label did not show the diacritic (accent over e), but showed 2 odd characters. |
18:02 |
|
cait |
hm |
18:02 |
|
cait |
sounds like a bug |
18:02 |
|
cait |
perhaps try opening a bug report? you could attach the problematic records and the label settings you tried |

i've been trying to fix this via bug 2246. i posted a fix(last fall 2011) but its not accepted or verified. i just want to prove that its broken by someone else. then to try my fix to verify. |

Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=2246 critical, PATCH-Sent (DO NOT USE), ---, cnighswonger, Pushed to Master , Label printing doesn't work with Unicode characters |
18:22 |
|
cait |
wajasu: I understand, but I don't have time right now and don't know much about the label printing module |
18:23 |
|
cait |
hence the suggestion to add all testing information to a bug |
18:23 |
|
wajasu |
ok. |
18:24 |
|
cait |
that will make it easy for people to test |
18:25 |
|
wajasu |
at least i found a sandbox that exhibits the behavior |
18:25 |
|
cait |
weekends are pretty quiet too - if you ask around in the week more people are here |
18:25 |
|
wajasu |
ok |
18:26 |
|
wajasu |
if i reference my bug and testing behavior against a current sandbox (paul poulains), it might help. thanks. |

i would have thought folks would have diacritics printing in their labels by now (in PDF). but i see some export to excel, and use openoffice or another app to print them. |
18:28 |
|
cait |
our libraries buy preprinted barcodes |
18:28 |
|
cait |
and not sure how they print the labels - they seem to use word or something else |
18:30 |
|
wajasu |
that explains the lack of concern, as folks have different workflows/workarounds. |
18:30 |
|
wajasu |
i'll try to create a new bug, and patch for a sandbox so someone can verify easier. |
