11:56 owen     I guess my choice would still be to take out the power and proximity search tabs and link to them...maybe from the advanced search tab.
11:52 kados    hehe
11:51 kados    anyway, just some observations from a non-librarian who uses google a lot :-)
11:50 kados    which is what you're doing 99% of the time if you're on that page
11:49 kados    the main focus of the screen is the google search box
11:49 kados    because you don't really notice them
11:49 kados    I like google's unobtrusive 'tab' links
11:49 kados    I'm guessing they will hardly ever be used by patrons ... the CCL search works so well (I think)
11:48 kados    also, I was thinking that the tabs for the other search types shouldn't be so big
11:48 kados    hehe
11:48 kados    google seems to have everything left-alighed or something
11:48 owen     I thought maybe you were going to ask for a new logo for every holiday
11:48 kados    even 800x600 looks kinda bad
11:47 kados    one thing that our simple search isn't doing well is liquid resize
11:47 kados    owen: I was comparing the google homepage to the zoomopac.liblime.com site
11:47 owen     yes
11:46 kados    owen: got a sec?
10:52 kados    thd: yay!
10:32 thd      s/504/5.04/
10:31 thd      kados: my system is mostly working again with Firefox 1.504
10:21 kados    owen: man patch will give you the syntax
10:21 kados    owen: there may be a way to do it in cvs too, I'm not sure
10:21 kados    owen: you can just apply it with the 'patch' utility
10:18 owen     When someone supplies a patch, what is the process for applying it? Is it a CVS command?
09:30 kados    owen: well, haven't looked at it yet ... just confirmed yesterday that it's still broken
09:30 owen     kados: how's the addbiblio mess today?
09:29 dewey    owen: i'm not following you...
09:29 owen     dewey: I thought you weren't speaking to me
09:29 dewey    niihau, owen
09:29 owen     Hi
09:29 kados    morning owen
07:55 tumer    kados:ok ill send
07:55 kados    tumer: (send meaning post them on a website or something, in email, they will be manged by MIME)
07:55 tumer    kados to delete a combined รง i have to use delete twice. one for cedilla and one for c
07:55 kados    tumer: and I'll test
07:55 kados    tumer: send me a bunch of records (or just one) that aren't working for you
07:54 tumer    kados:combined characters stay combined on mine on yours?
07:54 kados    tumer: if you send me a set I can test
07:54 kados    not sure about mysql
07:54 kados    in zebra, yes
07:54 tumer    yes on the screen but can you sarch them
07:54 kados    hdl: you'd have to ask owen
07:53 kados    hdl: I'm not sure ...
07:53 kados    tumer: I have combined characters working
07:53 kados    hdl: tumer I have combined characters working
07:53 hdl      dtd used says it is strict though ;)
07:52 kados    hdl: I think it's transitional
07:48 hdl      it doesn't seem.
07:48 hdl      kados : Is OPAC XHTML strict valid ?
07:47 tumer    hi hdl
07:46 hdl      hi kados.
07:46 hdl      hi tumer
07:46 hdl      I should try at the end of the week.
07:46 tumer    this is very serious. does anyone else has this set up workin?
07:45 hdl      kados : about your question : I don't think multiple fields are managed.
07:43 tumer    i'll have to revert to a clean perl and start all over
07:43 tumer    any combined character found perl crashes saying cannot decode
07:42 tumer    and now the system is very unstable
07:40 tumer    characters conversions work though
07:40 tumer    saving a record gets broken
07:40 tumer    all looks good first
07:40 tumer    i tried different versions on different servers
07:39 tumer    i have done all that
07:37 kados    all of this is detailed in the email I posted yesterday
07:37 kados    and you must install libxml2 _before_ installing XML::LibXML
07:37 kados    it's critical to use compatible versions
07:37 kados    compatible versions are mentioned in the XML::LibXML README
07:36 kados    expat and pureperl will not work at all
07:36 kados    you _must_ use libxml2 and a compatible version of XML::LibXML
07:35 kados    you can't use expat
07:28 tumer    i had to uninstall libxml to get koha to work
07:28 tumer    broken koha very badly
07:28 tumer    it gets worse
07:27 tumer    and expat
07:27 tumer    libxml2 ver 2.2.23
07:27 tumer    i tried all versions
07:27 tumer    very bad
07:27 kados    tumer: how'd it go yesterday with the libxml2 and XML::LibXML stuff?
07:27 tumer    hi kados
07:26 kados    morning tumer
06:56 kados    ok :-)
06:56 Comete   kados: je ne sais pas dsl...
06:56 Comete   kados: oui ?
06:53 kados    or can it only handle one?
06:53 kados    is it possible, with itemcallnumber systempreference, to specify several tag/subfield combinations that should be concatenated together?
06:53 kados    I've a quick question about itemcallnumber
06:52 kados    any frenchies around?
03:59 Comete   oh it's my fault, didn't see the 995 field...
03:47 Comete   the initial exported file is in UNIMARC format and i can see the barcodes in it with dump script
03:46 Comete   strange problem: i've set up the default grip to use the barcode field but after the import (24 hours...) i've no barcodes in the database... any idea ?
03:45 Comete   hello
03:45 Comete   bonjour tlm !
03:41 btoumi   nick btoumi_away
03:41 btoumi   :nick btoumi_away
02:10 osmoze   hello
02:08 btoumi   hi all
22:45 thd      akjk
22:41 thd      afl;ksdjlak
22:14 thd      alkj;lkfj
21:39 thd      good night kados
21:39 kados    :-)
21:39 thd      kados: I will check to see if your body and mind have merged in a suitable state with a little time tomorrow
21:38 thd      good to know that you are corporal
21:38 thd      :)
21:37 kados    thd: in body, not sure I'm really awake :-)
21:35 thd      kados: are you there?
19:35 Jo       in channel #hlt
19:35 chris    koha has locked up? or everything?
19:34 Jo       we have locked up here at levin.
19:34 Jo       Chris or Si
16:23 kados    I'll try to figure it out asap though
16:23 chris    bummer :(
16:22 kados    still truncating :(
16:22 kados    yep
16:20 kados    the editor is still truncating things
16:20 kados    hmmm
16:19 kados    what is blinddetail-biblio-search.tmpl?
16:18 kados    thanks!
16:17 owen     Okay, done
16:12 kados    sweet
16:12 owen     Actually, I worked on it today. I was just going to commit a new version based on the current default template
16:10 kados    (don't know if you know how to do that in CVS)
16:10 kados    sometime today or tomorrow could you roll back the NPL addbiblio.tmpl changes?
16:10 owen     Yeah
16:10 kados    owen: you about?
15:13 griffjon yeh, I figured
15:12 owen     Just ignore the print setup option in Koha's system administration. That's for UNIX printers
15:11 griffjon I'm using NPL templates
15:08 kados    griffjon: I'm not sure that the default templates provide a print option, but the npl ones do for sure
15:01 kados    griffjon: there's not much to set up ... so long as your librarian computers are hooked up to a printer you should be able to print from them
14:39 griffjon does anyone have experience with setting up printing in Windows for Koha?
12:16 kados    (cool)
12:16 tumer    also playing with zebra alvia filter
12:16 kados    I'll be back in an hour or so
12:16 kados    tumer: let me know if it works
12:16 tumer    ok thanks kados. i'll now go back to check that
12:15 kados    now I've got to run ... got an appointment in 5 minutes with an accountant (fun fun)
12:15 kados    tumer: yes ... if you update your ini file and the above script prints XML::SAX::LibXML it will fix that problem
12:15 kados    print $parser;
12:15 kados    $parser = XML::SAX::ParserFactory->parser();
12:15 kados    use XML::SAX::ParserFactory;
12:15 kados    #!/usr/bin/perl
12:15 kados    tumer: if you want to double-check your parser is LibXML, do this:
12:14 tumer    when coming from marc8 to  utf8 characters stay combined
12:14 kados    http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces = 1
12:14 kados    [XML::LibXML::SAX]
12:14 kados    http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces = 1
12:14 kados    [XML::SAX::PurePerl]
12:14 kados    http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces = 1
12:14 kados    [XML::LibXML::SAX::Parser]
12:14 kados    OK ... I have this in my ParserDetails.ini:
12:14 tumer    s/here/hear
12:13 tumer    here this problem with utf8
12:13 tumer    i know where mine is
12:13 kados    I'll find mine
12:13 kados    tumer: it should be obvious when you edit the file ... just change it to XML::SAX::LibXML
12:12 kados    (but you should read the whole email to understand what I tried)
12:12 dewey    tumer: that doesn't look right
12:12 tumer    change it to say what
12:12 kados    mine is located in /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.4/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini"
12:12 kados    "BTW: you can change your default SAX parser by editing the .ini file ...
12:12 kados    tumer: from the above link:
12:12 kados    tumer: with libxml2 and XML::SAX::LibXML I've not found a record that doesn't work
12:11 kados    tumer: yes
12:11 tumer    does it correct the combining character problem
12:11 tumer    i'll check that
12:11 kados    tumer: everything you need to know is in that email
12:10 kados    tumer: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl4lib/2369
12:10 kados    let me find it
12:10 kados    there is a file you need to edit
12:10 kados    I explained that too
12:10 kados    good question
12:09 tumer    i have those installed how do i tell the system to use those
12:09 kados    let me find you a link
12:09 kados    I've detailed this on the perl4lib mailing list
12:09 kados    it's the only one that works
12:09 kados    libxml2 and XML::SAX::LibXML
12:09 kados    you have to use:
12:09 kados    you can't use them
12:09 tumer    everything started braking
12:09 kados    neither I mean
12:09 kados    either
12:08 tumer    do we use expat or pupreperl
12:08 kados    bummer
12:08 tumer    or utf8
12:08 tumer    well i am having other problems with M:FX:
12:08 kados    tumer: oh ... hi :-)
12:08 kados    tumer: I'll try to commit those sometime today
12:08 tumer    hi kados
12:07 kados    tumer: I realized that you'll need my bib1.att and record.abs to use the stuff I committed
