00:07 drojf good night #koha
00:07 dcook night, drojf
00:09 bag ah it's fat tuesday

00:31 eythian jcamins: doesn't appear to, ce6f2cb74f78196e8d80a8b9acf27060e5fa09eb also fails
00:32 eythian I see no obvious reason for it to cause this problem though
00:36 jcamins Oh, I see it.
00:36 jcamins I missed it when I pushed it.
00:36 jcamins Right above GetMemberAccountBallance.
00:36 jcamins Wait...
00:37 jcamins I could've sworn that was fixed in the follow-up.
00:37 jcamins Ohh.
00:37 jcamins I see.
00:38 jcamins That problem in another patch from Srdjan was fixed in a different follow-up.
00:39 eythian what is the issue?
00:39 wahanui the issue is, like, the one described in bug 6997
00:39 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=6997 normal, PATCH-Sent (DO NOT USE), ---, jcamins, CLOSED FIXED, koha-remove leaves system in inconsistent state if there is an error
00:39 eythian I don't see it
00:39 eythian wahanui: forget the issue
00:39 wahanui eythian: I forgot issue
00:39 eythian jcamins: ahh
00:39 eythian we're hitting a syspref outside a sub
00:40 jcamins Yup.
00:40 eythian so, is there a followup that fixes that somewhere?
00:41 jcamins No.
00:41 barriers joined #koha
00:41 jcamins I didn't realize that Srdjan had done that on multiple patches.
00:42 eythian ah right
00:43 jcamins What I don't know, though, is why the test passes on my server even with MySQL shut down.
00:44 eythian yeah, mine too
00:46 eythian do you remember where the fix for something similar is? I might see how that's done.

00:49 jcamins Move all that code into GetMemberAccountBalance.

00:55 eythian jcamins: any objection to including this on bug 9592? Or would you prefer its own bug?
00:55 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=9592 minor, P3, ---, robin, ASSIGNED , Package dependency updates for master
00:55 eythian ah, papa. Just been talking about you.
00:55 jcamins No objection.

00:58 * dcook glares at IE
01:06 eythian jcamins: build succeeded with that patch.
01:08 jcamins Yay!
01:14 dcook Patron card creator. *brain explodes*
01:15 dcook If I were using IE to use Koha, I would think it was such a piece of junk
01:15 dcook Although as we all know, it's IE that is junk not Koha...
01:15 dcook Does everyone else's clients really use Firefox and Chrome?
01:16 jcamins Yes.
01:16 jcamins Well, there are a few I know who do not.
01:19 dcook Poor folks
01:19 dcook The ones who do not that is
01:20 dcook The patron card creator is an absolute disaster in IE
01:21 rangi for the staff side yes
01:21 rangi not just firefox or chrome
01:21 rangi but anything except ie 8 or older
01:21 eythian we strongly encourage it, though some people have no choice.
01:22 dcook A lot of people I know have no choice
01:22 dcook This is even in ie 9 :/
01:23 eythian jcamins: I've marked bug 9592 as passed QA, though I'd like it if you were to give it a bit of a look over too.
01:23 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=9592 minor, P3, ---, robin, Passed QA , Package dependency updates for master
01:23 rangi even that is 2 years old now
01:25 eythian (especially the first patch that is, the second is fairly inconsequential for most people)
01:25 dcook True enough.
01:29 jcamins So... anyone have any idea why I would use Bootstrap's typeahead instead of jQuery's autocomplete or vice versa?
01:34 qu-bit joined #koha
01:35 libsysguy_phone I think its just a matter of preference
01:36 libsysguy and what you have existing
01:53 dcook Hmm, actually it might not be IE
01:53 dcook I think it might be bad markup and IE is just a lot less forgiving...
01:54 bag it's always IE :P
01:54 libsysguy 1) its always the data
01:55 libsysguy ^^ talljoy
01:55 dcook bag: :p
02:05 jcamins Does HTML have an invisible space?
02:06 libsysguy  
02:06 libsysguy I think
02:06 jcamins libsysguy: that's visible.
02:06 wizzyrea like an invisible span?
02:06 libsysguy what are you trying to do?
02:07 wizzyrea yea, the first question
02:07 wizzyrea the first question?
02:07 wahanui "What are you trying to do?" or "What is the goal?"
02:07 jcamins Work around the fact that I can't force TinyMCE to generate invalid markup.
02:07 wizzyrea and you would want to do this because...
02:07 libsysguy maybe he's writing test files?
02:07 jcamins No, I don't want invalid markup.
02:07 jcamins What I want is to open a tag and not close it.
02:08 jcamins Yet.
02:08 wizzyrea oh. no idea.
02:08 * dcook has a similar problem perhaps
02:08 eythian I don't know of HTML having a zero-width space
02:08 jcamins So since I can't do that, the next best thing is to have an invisible space that allows me to type inside the tags.
02:08 libsysguy ​
02:09 wizzyrea well an invisible span would do.
02:09 libsysguy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-width_space
02:09 jcamins wizzyrea: except I can't type in an invisible span either.
02:09 jcamins I already have an element. The problem is that elements with no character data can't be typed in.
02:09 * libsysguy goes to talk to Harry Potter
02:10 libsysguy did you try the link?
02:10 jcamins Well done. ​ did it.
02:10 * libsysguy considers deleting my atlassian box for Koha
02:10 libsysguy excellent
02:13 jcamins Incidentally, the documentation for tinymce is rather disappointing.
02:13 libsysguy i feel the same way about indexdata
02:14 jcamins Oh, wait.
02:14 jcamins Looks like the documentation is good, but the link on the home page is wrong.
02:15 libsysguy okay server gone
02:16 cjh wizzyrea++
02:34 dcook rangi: Looks like edit.layout.tt has some bad extra markup and IE doesn't like nested list elements without list start/end tags. While I want to blame IE, I suppose that does make a certain amount of sense :p
02:34 * dcook will fix it after lunch

03:57 vkm joined #koha
03:58 vkm Hello dear all is it possible to implement googletransliteration in koha staff client so that i can feed entry in local language during cataloguing?
04:00 cjh vkm: your language may alrady be supported in Koha, have a look at http://translate.koha-community.org/
04:01 cjh sorry, already*
04:01 jcamins vkm: so far as I know that has not actually been implemented, no.
04:02 cjh although it may be possible with a browser plugin
04:02 jcamins ^^ that's what I'd suggest.
04:02 * jcamins calls it a night.
04:26 dcook Ok, maybe IE is weird :p
04:26 dcook Correction: super weird
04:52 * dcook has vanquished the edit-layout template of the Patron Card Creator.
04:52 dcook Take that, IE!
04:52 dcook No longer shall users of IE cringe to look at you...in this particular context...
06:04 dcook Bug 9603 has a lot of insertions/deletions, but most of those are actually just whitespace changes. There should only be a few deleted fieldset/li elements, and inserted ol elements...

09:47 gaetan_B xslt are handled differently on the results and detail page
09:47 gaetan_B namely
09:47 gaetan_B the XSLTParse4Display function is called with different parameters
09:48 gaetan_B on the result page we send "1" for the fixampersand parameter, but we don't send anything for this parameter on the detail page
09:48 gaetan_B is there a reason for this ?
09:48 gaetan_B this breaks the display for some records
09:49 gaetan_B namely those containing the "<" and ">" characters
09:49 gaetan_B which are then rendered as &lt: and &gt; on results pages
09:49 gaetan_B (this could possibly affect other characters)
09:50 gaetan_B we could fix this quickly by not sending this parameter for displaying results
09:50 gaetan_B but i'm wondering why we do it in the first place
09:50 gaetan_B maybe there's a better solution
09:53 sophie_m kf magnuse : ich freue mich auch :-)
09:54 kf :)
09:54 magnuse sophie_m: yay!
09:54 kf gaetan_B: do you have a second? I think I fixed this in one of our installations
09:55 kf gaetan_B: we have one with manuscripts and they make use of < a lot
09:55 gaetan_B kf: i definitely have a second for this :)
09:56 kf ok
09:56 kf I made a change to XSLT.pm
09:56 kf becuase the sequence was the problem
09:57 kf and I think I copied it from some other place... but not sure where from
09:57 kf gaetan_B: not sure if this is the best way to fix it - but they haven't had any other complaints since :) http://paste.koha-community.org/391
09:58 gaetan_B i see
09:59 gaetan_B my assumption was the line $xmlrecord =~ s/\& /\&amp\; /; was teh one causing the problem
09:59 gaetan_B *the
09:59 kf yes
09:59 kf it fixes the &
09:59 kf but it breaks the < > at the same time
09:59 * kf tries to remember
10:00 gaetan_B but what you added comes before that line, so would it really make a difference ?
10:00 kf in the source code it looked something like: &amp;lt because it was already an entity and the & was replaced by mistake
10:00 kf I think the replace is not clever, it replaces all ampersands, so if there is already an entity in the output, it gets broken
10:01 kf I think it's probably something to do with not being able to use < > and & in XML?
10:05 kf hope I make some sense here...
10:06 kf bbiab
10:09 gaetan_B ok thanks kf, that should help :)

10:19 ambars joined #koha
10:19 ashimema The results are of a completely different format to those of the old chr indexing.. just wondered if that's actualyl right.
10:21 ambars Greetings! I'm just getting started with koha for a small new library. I've installed koha and am playing around with it. The library does not yet have a catalog and we have to build it from scratch.
10:21 drojf ambars: that's cool
10:22 ashimema @ambars: good luck..
10:22 huginn ashimema: I suck
10:22 drojf lol. using @ confuses the bot ;)
10:22 ashimema oops
10:22 ambars We're looking to import catalog entries somehow. I have tried out the z39.50 search, and it works for some books. I'm looking for a way to search and import MARC records given an ISBN number (that I can scan from the bar code).
10:23 ambars I have no experience with cataloging, so what it the typical way to create a catalog?
10:24 drojf hm. you might be needing different z39.50 servers (that carry the things you have in your collection)
10:24 drojf for us it is importing stuff from another database. i have never done that from scratch. how many records are we talking about?
10:26 ambars drojf: thanks, yes I tried that. I added a few z39.50 servers that are more relevant to our library (Indian books, hence I added 2 Indian z39.50 servers). This helped get better results in the search, but there are still several gaps.
10:26 ambars About 1000 - 2000 books
10:26 ambars and the same number of records.
10:28 ambars The librarian has a goal of being able to scan the bar code off a book and auto-magically getting the MARC record for importing... is that available or even feasible? :)
10:28 drojf if there is some kind of index that lists all indian books (like a national library) but does not offer z39.59, you could try to write some script to grab the data for those books you dont get otherwise
10:28 drojf ambars: there has to be a marc record available for that. so someone must have created it
10:29 drojf if not, no way
10:30 drojf you might want to ask on the mailing list for other koha libraries in india. i think there are a lot, maybe they can give you more advice on sources for the data you need
10:31 ambars I see. Cool.
10:32 ambars Is it typical to create MARC records manually? There are so many fields to fill in!
10:33 ambars I guess it's unavoidable for some very old books that we have in our collection... they don't seem to have MARC records in any of the (few) servers that I tried so far...
10:34 drojf that depends. i think z39.50 i used a lot, but there are not servers available for everything. it also depends on cataloguing guidelines. if you have very strict rules to match, you might want to do it manually too
10:35 drojf also i heard of people that actually love cataloguing in MARC, they would do it too ;)
10:37 ambars lol cool
10:38 ambars Are you aware of any attempts at scraping/getting book information from Amazon or the Google Books APIs or some other programmatic approach?

12:22 magnuse guess so...
12:22 ambars paul_p: i see... hope you're having fun in delhi :)
12:22 magnuse kf: yeah, the "asian" lunch was nice
12:23 kf i think the workshops list needs updating a bit :) but apart from that I hope it's up to date
12:23 magnuse but a bit hard to organize with lots and lots of people, perhaps?
12:24 paul_p ambars yes, Delhi is a wonderfull city (even if I've 45mn-1H driving from hotel to conf center twice a day. Well that makes me see what is real India :D )
12:24 paul_p ambars and indian ppl are definetly nice people, always willing to help !
12:25 ambars happy to hear that :)
12:25 paul_p magnuse & kf = well the "lunch" tab is mostly the 2012 one. For sure we will have one cheese lunch, but still undecided for other lunches.
12:25 kf I loved the lebanon one too - but not sure what's doable :)
12:25 kf we trust you to feed us well I guess :)

12:30 kf adding new things to the sample files and the like
12:30 kf and of course QA

15:09 magnuse the multiarch thing that i know nothing about?
15:10 magnuse any workarounds?
15:10 magnuse (i'm inside pbuilder in a vm)
15:10 jcamins Well, libdigest-jhash-perl and the CHI packages are entirely unnecessary.
15:10 jcamins If you're rolling your own packages, you can just remove them from the control file.

15:17 magnuse ah, cool

15:19 jcamins It fixes several of those, but it sounds like you're missing the squeeze-dev repo in your pbuilder environment.
15:20 magnuse or i'm missing the right command for updating inside pbuilder...
15:20 jcamins I always have trouble with that.

15:41 jcamins Heh.
15:41 jcamins It is indeed.
15:41 kf ts, drofj is never around when youneed him.
15:41 kf oleonard: agreed
15:41 magnuse beware of the dark side, they have um... terrible tools
15:42 oleonard A browser written by the same guys who wrote the OS it runs on... Shouldn't it at the very least be fast?
15:43 magnuse or written by different divisions that don't talk to each other...

16:07 oleonard rambutan: isn't that one of the things that made earlier versions of IE so insecure?
16:10 rambutan Win is insecure by design. If anyone wishes to use Windows, IMHO they should accept that. My statement was simply my desire for increased functionality when I have to use Windows.
16:10 rambutan ...and that primarily as a sys admin
16:11 rambutan Actually, now that you wound me up, I wish they would port KDE to run as a windowing shell on top of the Win OS.
16:15 Dyrcona rambutan: Why bother? Just use GNU/Linux on your desktop. I do.
16:15 Dyrcona Ah, don't mind me. Didn't read far enough back. :)
16:18 rambutan Yea, for anything personal, and all _my_ computers at work it's only Linux. But at the library the users can only use Windows, and my duty is to support them.

17:03 drojf i don't think i knew about them :)
17:03 * jcamins didn't know there were.
17:04 drojf is that documented in the manual? or is that more a thing that web developers find when cleaning the code?
17:04 oleonard I think a long long time ago we had visual indicators in the interface indicating them
17:05 oleonard Alt-Q to check out, Alt-R to check in, Alt-Q to Search
17:05 oleonard Sorry, Alt-U to check out
17:06 jcamins I'm having some problems capturing Ctrl-Enter, though.
17:06 drojf wow. i definitely never knew that
17:06 oleonard http://manual.koha-community.o[…]tml#keyboardshort
17:08 oleonard I'm thinking about it because the jQuery plugin to make them possible is one which blocks our upgrade to the latest version of jQuery
17:08 jcamins Wait, what?
17:08 wahanui i guess Wait, is it only in items?
17:09 jcamins jquery.hotkeys doesn't work with the latest jQuery?
17:09 drojf hm. that is bad for a feature that possibly nobody uses. on the other hand, i bet there is this one library that hates computer mice and barcode scanners that only checks out that way
17:09 rambutan sometimes wahanui is more trouble than she's worth
17:10 drojf wait, there is missing backwards compatability with jquery updates? i'm shocked
17:10 oleonard jquery.hotkeys uses a property ($.browser) which has been deprecated since jQuery 1.3 and removed in 1.9
17:11 jcamins Hm.
17:11 oleonard Several of our plugins (including tablesorter) use it
17:11 jcamins The latest release was less than a month ago, too.
17:11 oleonard That's one of the reasons for all the DataTables patches from me
17:12 jcamins Oh well. I will worry about making my shortcuts work when the tinyMCE editor is not selected after I've made saving work _in_ TinyMCE.
17:16 oleonard We'll need to upgrade the datatables plugin too. We're several versions behind.
17:16 oleonard But at least it has an upgraded version, unlike tablesorter
17:18 oleonard we'll have to replace the qtip plugin too...
17:18 * oleonard starts making notes in addition to talking to himself
17:19 oleonard jquery.textarea-expander.js?
17:20 jcamins What's qtip do?
17:20 oleonard There are one or two places in acquisitions that uses it... Fancy tooltips
17:20 jcamins Ah.

17:42 tcohen there are several bugs related to staff interface, using default XSLT
17:43 tcohen but I have a problem with 3.8.x, in the opac results page
17:43 tcohen have you heard of it?
17:43 tcohen i'm about to fill a bug otherwise
17:43 jcamins tcohen: what's the problem?
17:43 wahanui somebody said the problem was it's human beings doing it. Rebuild your indexes.
17:43 tcohen http://famaf.biblio.unc.edu.ar[…]earch.pl?q=spivak

17:44 jcamins Wow.
17:44 jcamins Never mind.
17:44 wahanui Good, I'm glad you figured it out. I didn't understand, and probably never will, being a bot.
17:44 oleonard Installed via packages tcohen?
17:44 tcohen no, standard install oleonard
17:44 oleonard Oh, well then Bug 9502 isn't it.
17:44 huginn Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=9502 major, P5 - low, ---, robin, NEW , famfamfam: wrongly placed in package 3.8.8/9
17:44 tcohen the problem is with the images path in the XSLT
17:45 jcamins oleonard: unless there's actually a broader problem, and it's not package-specific.
17:45 tcohen oleonard, looks like the same problem
17:46 tcohen those famfam images where moved to lib/
17:46 tcohen (you did it, right? :D)
17:46 jcamins I think I did that.
17:46 tcohen ok
17:46 tcohen so the problem is the XSLT's and not them being moved
17:47 jcamins Right.
17:47 tcohen i'll attach a patch then
17:47 * oleonard sees the same problem in 3.8.x
17:47 jcamins Thanks!
17:47 jcamins tcohen++
17:47 tcohen we are still on 3.8.x here
17:47 tcohen until *someone* tells on IRC that 3.10 is being used
17:47 tcohen in production
17:48 * jcamins will not be telling you that any time soon.
17:48 * oleonard guesses an XSLT patch backported from 3.10?
17:48 jcamins oleonard: no, I think the famfamfam move was backported from 3.10.
17:48 jcamins Unless I have it backwards?
17:48 oleonard You're right
17:48 jcamins Now I'm confused.
17:49 tcohen maybe some xslt patch should be backported too, and was missed
17:50 gerundio good afternoon, long time :D
17:50 gerundio got a MySQL trick question
17:50 oleonard I think so tcohen, but I can't imagine why
17:50 gerundio in the script that generates the incremental barcode value we have the following query to get the biggest value: "select max(abs(barcode)) from items"
17:50 gerundio using max(abs()) returns strange results
17:51 tcohen oleonard: too much beer for the RMaint?
17:51 gerundio shouldn't it be "select abs(max(barcode)) from items" instead or simply "select max(barcode) from items"?
17:51 * oleonard sends more beer to RMaint to compensate
17:52 mtompset joined #koha
17:52 jcamins gerundio: max(abs(barcode)) makes more sense because it ensures that you have the absolute largest number regardless of sign.

17:54 tcohen hi mtompset
17:54 mtompset rangi++ # nice reply email regarding the first step required before providing suggestions.
17:54 gerundio jcamins, hmmm, does it make sense to use negative barcodes?
17:54 tcohen jcamins: should i patch the xsl files?
17:54 jcamins tcohen: I'd like to ask rangi about that.
18:04 gerundio jcamins, just to add confusion to the subject, the barcode column is a varchar(20)
18:04 gerundio so max and abs return strange results
18:05 jcamins gerundio: right... max and abs are almost certainly the wrong things to use anyway.
18:05 jcamins But that's the reason for max(abs(barcode)) instead of one of the other two options.
18:07 tcohen jcamins, I attached a patch, obsolete it if rangi tells otherthing should be done, otherwise, use it. regards
18:07 jcamins Sounds good.
18:11 rangi tcohen: did you check unimarc and normarc too?
18:11 rangi the patch only changes marc21

18:24 rangi i hope the security fixes from 3.8.6 were backported
18:24 rangi wrt that tweet
18:25 jcamins rangi: maybe a typo?
18:26 * rangi looks
18:26 rangi source reports 3.8.5 too
18:28 * jcamins tried to be optimistic.
18:30 libsysguy anybody around that could help me package up a cpan module to include in koha-common?
18:30 libsysguy module -> http://search.cpan.org/~colins[…]ct/Interchange.pm
18:31 jcamins libsysguy: you just have to use dh-make-perl
18:31 libsysguy oh?
18:32 libsysguy well that is exactly what I read on debian-administration
18:32 libsysguy but I didn't believe them :p

18:38 mtompset Hi, cait! Long time no chat. :)
18:39 mtompset Greetings, libsysguy.
18:39 libsysguy sup mtompset
18:40 mtompset Writing a newsletter.
18:40 rangi hi cait
18:40 cait hi mtompset, hi rangi
18:40 mtompset Hoping to try to figure out dh-make-perl. :)
18:40 libsysguy okay…now that I have a package…how do I get it into koha-common
18:40 libsysguy mtompset thats what I just did :D
18:47 gaetan_B bye
18:52 rangi libsysguy: install it, and update apt-file then run the script to update the control file
18:52 libsysguy ah
18:52 rangi you mean add it as a dependency eh?
18:52 libsysguy well
18:52 libsysguy I need to do that as well
18:52 libsysguy but I had to build the package as well
18:53 rangi http://search.cpan.org/~bessar[…]st/Whitespaces.pm
18:53 rangi for you
18:53 libsysguy don't we have a repo to koha packages that aren't in the standard debian repo?
18:53 rangi yes
18:53 rangi talk to eythian about that
18:53 libsysguy did I have another patch with whitespace problems?
18:54 libsysguy I thought I had that resolved
18:55 rangi no, you were complaining about tabs or something
18:56 rambutan joined #koha
18:56 libsysguy ah yes…i prefer tabs :p
18:56 rangi lol
18:56 libsysguy then i can define my own widths
18:56 rangi that's precisely what is wrong with them :)
18:56 libsysguy heh
18:57 libsysguy well if you commit them as tabs, then you editor can make the decision on how to display them
18:57 libsysguy so if your a 2 spacer or an 8 spacer you're happy
18:57 rangi ahh, you really should have been at the style training
18:57 libsysguy :p
18:57 * libsysguy is still a young un'
18:58 rangi no, thats not how it works in practice, unless you have control over every editors setting on every machine you ever log in to
18:58 gmcharlt sadly, us 3.5 spacers are never acommodated ;)
18:58 rangi spaces are consistent

19:19 rangi it didnt get better
19:20 rangi probably the librarians can fudgitate the flumorix shiggery on the leader position 12 or something now
19:20 rangi but really, i dont give a crap about the staff interface as one of the 400k potential users
19:20 rangi serve us, before the 60 or so librarians
19:21 jcamins rangi: I highly doubt it. After all, I just discovered that a popular budget ILS doesn't support indicators in MARC records.
19:21 rangi well carlx is NOT budget
19:22 sophie_m left #koha
19:22 rangi the staff interface might be super awesome
19:22 jcamins No, but that doesn't mean it's any better designed.
19:22 rangi but really, who cares
19:22 rangi if people cant actually find things
19:23 jcamins I don't just mean "oh, it's not very convenient to specify indicators," I mean "THEY FORGOT TO PUT INDICATORS IN THEIR MARC RECORDS!" <-- caps necessary
19:23 rangi librarians .. dont become the IT depts of the world :)
19:23 rangi ok time to take the kids to school
19:23 rangi bbl
19:24 jcamins I figure if someone with a low budget can come up with that bright idea, someone with a high budget could come up with _much_ worse things to do to their staff clients. :)
19:26 mtompset "doesn't support indicators in MARC records."?! What the?!
19:27 jcamins mtompset: yeah, they just vanished when I tried to export records. Very weird.
19:27 jcamins Well, they never existed at all, but even with imported records I noticed that.

21:18 eythian libsysguy: so I saw
21:18 libsysguy eythian: is there somewhere I can put it so it ends up in Koha Common
21:18 eythian best bet is to email me the details, I'll make a package for it and put it in the repo. If it has no weird dependencies, it's a fairly quick process
21:19 eythian also make sure you add it to the kohadependencies.pl file, that way it'll automagically end up in the control file when I rebuild it.
21:21 libsysguy I already ran it through the dh-make-perl script
21:21 libsysguy and built the package
21:22 libsysguy no weird deps so that wasn't a problem
21:22 eythian awesome
21:22 eythian libsysguy: in that case it'll be a ~15 minute job for me to build and deploy everything :)

21:51 bag :P
21:55 datadoctor Tech Services would like the 245h 'subtitle' to list after the 245p 'subtitle' in the item description - I think I can reorder the id's in the fieldmapping to make it work.
21:55 wizzyrea sure you can
21:57 cait datadoctor: or just reenter them :P
21:57 cait schema?
21:57 wahanui schema is, like, tracked in git. or found at http://schema.koha-community.org
21:58 cait fieldmapping
21:58 datadoctor Hmmm...I tried both methods, and although they reorder in the fieldmapping table, they don't reorder in the xslt block for results. I'll try looking at the schema.
21:58 datadoctor Thanks wahanui!

22:01 drojf datadoctor: if you want to change the order in the xslt display, do your own xslt file instead of changing the mapping
22:04 datadoctor Will that work if I want to make the change globally?
22:05 drojf what do you mean by globally?
22:05 datadoctor Like to put all [DVD] after Season #X.
22:06 eythian joined #koha
22:06 drojf you have xslt files for result lists and single record display. both for opac and staff client, so that makes four files. you can change them all to your liking. whatever field orders you change in on of the files will be shown for all records in that view. does that make sense?
22:07 bag drojf: I think both methods would work - either custom XSLT or keyword to mapping
22:09 drojf bag: when i started with koha i was told not to touch the mapping if possible, so i sticked to that. but you are probably right
22:09 datadoctor That does make sense.
22:09 datadoctor I didn
22:10 bag drojf: not mapping - keyword
22:10 drojf and you have more options with the xslt files of course. you can basically change everything, formatting and stuff
22:10 bag Keywords to MARC mapping
22:11 datadoctor In the search results and the item details, there is a subtitle field available for items. Keyword mapping allows one to add additional MARC fields to the subtitle.
22:11 bag that doesn't change the mapping - but you are correct - you should not change the mapping (it's still hardcoded in some places - like the indexing files)
22:12 datadoctor We add the medium, for example [DVD] and the part number, for example [DISC 5]
22:12 wizzyrea yep, that's pretty common
22:12 datadoctor Although those may be visible elsewhere, it makes it easier for Reference if they come up in the staff side search results.
22:13 datadoctor And item details.
22:20 datadoctor Editing the xslt is easier said than done...thinking it is time to head home...zzzzzzzzzz
22:22 datadoctor Thanks for your collective help on this project, I will start on it again in the morning. Here's some music for your work. This has been powering me today: http://grooveshark.com/#!/sear[…]e+impala+lonerism

22:25 drojf ah, the other mapping. sorry i got confused
22:32 dcook joined #koha
22:32 drojf 4.3. Keywords to MARC Mapping: This tool only effects sites that are not using the XSLT Stylesheets.
22:32 drojf how did that apply then if was using xslt?
22:32 drojf if he was
22:32 drojf now i'm even more confused :)
22:36 datadoctor joined #koha
22:38 dcook drojf: As far as I know, the Keywords to MARC Mapping only works with subtitle by default
22:38 dcook Wait...I think I missed part of the conversation that might make the confusion more clear :p
22:39 datadoctor My colleague Jorge pointed out the xsl code to edit, and I was able to swap the order of the subtitle fields in the item detail and search results. Tech Services will be very pleased!
22:39 drojf excellent :)
22:40 drojf dcook: nevermind. it's working, let's not question anything :)
22:40 dcook Hehe. Good point.
22:41 dcook Actually, I was thinking of making an enhancement where the Keywords to MARC Mapping would work without having to change code on the backend...
22:41 datadoctor Yes, it only works with the keyword mapping field name set to subtitle.
22:41 dcook Although also having an enhancement where the MARC Bibliographic Frameworks actually fully work would also be good...
22:41 NateC left #koha
22:41 datadoctor However you can map multiple MARC subfields to the subtitle field name.
22:41 dcook True, which is handy
22:42 datadoctor They all show up in the results, but the xslt block orders them a certain way by default.
22:42 dcook I've used the same mechanism to add in other fields as well, but I've had to add in the code in the Perl script to achieve the desired effect
22:42 dcook Makes sense
22:43 * dcook would like to play around a bit more with xslt
22:43 datadoctor For the bolded title and subtitle (Marc subfield 245) that order appears to be b,h,f,g,k,n,p,s
22:44 datadoctor excuse me a,b,h,f,g,k,n,p,s - I guess that's alphabetical.
22:44 wahanui datadoctor: somebody was calculating pi on the server
22:44 datadoctor nice
22:45 datadoctor I read a great article on the Chudnovsky brothers - they built a supercomputer in their NY apartment to calculate the digits of pi.
22:46 drojf datadoctor: your alphabet is different from mine :)
