10:41 kados    less html to load on the page
10:40 kados    you can use a hyphen and I don't know of any limit on number of characters in a attribute type
10:40 kados    but I parse it and turn it into '='
10:40 kados    ':' is illegal in ccl
10:40 hdl      No.
10:39 hdl      or does the "title" require no hyphen, a limitted number of characters
10:39 kados    or are you asking about the ':'?
10:39 kados    hdl: if you have an index called material-type and it contains data like 'book' :-)
10:38 hdl      kados: in ccl queries, can we use Material-type:BOOK ?
10:38 cm       thanks. :)
10:38 kados    will do
10:38 cm       good luck.  let me know how it goes.
10:37 kados    cm: well, it's happening today, and I haven't started yet ... in about an hour or so it begins ;-)
10:31 cm       hey kados, how did your bulkmarcimport go?
10:26 cm       it seems like he is.  :)
10:25 btoumi   kados : are u always around?
10:23 btoumi   kados: ty ;=)
10:22 btoumi   hi kados i had some probleme with updatedatabase from rel 3 0 and i have found the solutions
10:21 kados    btoumi: I am now
09:21 btoumi   kados: are u around?
18:13 rhariram is there a reverse of dumpmarc.pl ?
18:09 rhariram on a bit unrelated note, is there any script to convert dumpmarc.pl's output (after some manipulation)back to marc ?
17:40 rhariram ok. just attached a 1 rec mrc file with the good data
17:32 kados    sure
17:29 rhariram shall I get you the raw marc file by exporting from my koha installation ?
17:27 kados    rhariram: or if that's not possible, a text file with the properly encoded characters that get re-encoded imporperly
17:26 kados    rhariram: what would be most useful would be an actual raw marc record I can import to reproduce the problem
17:11 rhariram or shall I add a screenshot of the good and corrupt data
17:10 rhariram shall i cut-paste the mysql query output ?
17:09 rhariram ok. what kind of example would you like to see.
17:09 kados    rhariram: that way i can do some testing to try to figure out when they are getting mangled
17:08 kados    rhariram: could you append a note to the bug report and include some examples of characters that get mangled?
17:07 kados    very interesting
16:58 rhariram and again corruption only in the fields defined in biblioitems table
16:56 rhariram that is: record looks good after creation but is corrupted after editing
16:55 rhariram yes, same issue at http://koha.liblime.com
16:44 kados    but I'd have to check to be sure
16:44 kados    that is set if ther ewas an oldbiblionumber passed in
16:43 kados    I believe there's a flag for 'modify
16:43 rhariram sorry. prev should read as: where does the code branch off for a new rec and existing rec
16:43 kados    too complicated IMO
16:43 kados    addbiblio is very complicated
16:42 rhariram where does the code sting recbranch of for a new rec and exi
16:41 rhariram was trying to browse the code
16:40 rhariram ok. will do that right away
16:40 kados    rhariram: have you tried to repeat the bug on the Koha demo: http://koha.liblime.com
16:40 kados    I'm not sure what's going on
16:40 kados    rhariram: yes ... quite strange
16:39 rhariram did you see my latest comment on the bug
16:38 kados    hi rhariram
16:36 rhariram hi kados
16:01 cm       he he.  :)
16:01 chris    hopefully that means he/she will be tired and sleep lots once they are born .. but i suspect not
16:01 cm       ah, a feisty one.  :)
16:01 chris    2 months away from birth, but very kicky
16:00 cm       yeah.  so how's the baby?
16:00 chris    heh yeah, probably not
16:00 cm       i don't think the CCFLS would be willing to ship you here, though.  :(
15:59 cm       :)  that would be awesome.
15:58 chris    ill do the training for ya :) (thats what i just was doing in fiji hehe)
15:58 cm       i had it running last week, but I broke it again.  :)
15:58 cm       yeah, 2.4
15:58 cm       yeah.  :)  it's been fun.  not looking forward to the training part.
15:58 chris    that'll be to 2.4 eh?
15:57 chris    woo excellent
15:57 cm       that is, if we don't move it back again.  ;)
15:57 cm       hi chris.  things are going well enough.  we're aiming to migrate our first library in mid-december.
15:53 chris    hows things been in koha land?
15:41 cm       cool.
15:41 kados    nice
15:41 chris    the koha server is on its way to the national library in the cook islands now .. with trained librarians, so fiji was a success :)
15:41 cm       yes, very stinky.
15:40 chris    stink one
15:40 cm       i'd like to be warm right now.  our library's furnace is broken at the moment.  :/
15:40 chris    but nice to be warm
15:40 chris    really really busy
15:40 kados    how was fiji?
15:39 kados    hey chris
15:39 kados    I'm using it with zebra
15:39 kados    so I haven't tested bulkmarcimport
15:39 cm       are you using it with or without zebra?
15:39 kados    sorry about that, I figured you would still be going rel_2_2->dev_week
15:39 kados    cool
15:39 cm       yeah, I can wait another day.  :)
15:38 cm       yeah.  I tried commenting out the section that checks to see if zebra is running, but I got further errors and gave up.  :P
15:38 kados    so if you can wait until then it'll be fixed for sure ;-)
15:38 kados    I have to run bulkmarcimport tomorrow for a new client
15:38 kados    zconn
15:38 kados    I've a feeling it's the new context.pm connection object
15:38 cm       yup.
15:37 kados    hmmm
15:37 cm       it also chokes with zebra after processing a couple of records.  I can include the output of that if you want to see it.
15:36 cm       ZOOM error 10000 "Connect failed" (addinfo: "tcp:@:9900") from diag-set 'ZOOM'root@koha:/usr/local/koha_cvs/dev_week/koha-new-upload/koha/misc/migration_tools
15:36 cm       problem with Zebra at /usr/local/koha/intranet/modules/C4/Context.pm line 490.
15:36 cm       Converting record 1 encoding from MARC8 to UTF-8
15:35 cm       kados: bulkmarcimport is choking because zebra isn't running:
13:09 kados    I've used this editor and it's swank
13:09 kados    another cool NZ project: http://kupu.oscom.org/
12:55 kados    but I think it's in HEAD
12:55 kados    paul: have you or hdl looked at tumer's code for translating the facets labels?
12:17 kados    it's all about having enough time :-)
12:17 kados    ok, great!
12:17 paul     I'll see what I can do on this topic
12:17 kados    so I reverted
12:17 kados    but it was buggy
12:16 kados    I did have a version that could specify more than one
12:16 paul     ok, that was what it seems to me.
12:16 kados    as currently implemented you can only use one subfieldcode
12:16 paul     is there a way to explain the fact i have different subfields ?
12:16 paul     a quick question : authors, in unimarc, can be in 200$f, 200$g, 700$a, 701a & 702a.
12:16 kados    which may come in 2007 from me :-)
12:16 kados    and they look for sponsorship of that feature
12:15 kados    but I spoke with ID about incorporating it into Zebra
12:15 kados    and it only pulls from the first page of results
12:15 kados    it is a significant performance hit
12:15 kados    w00t
12:14 paul     kados : just reintroducing facets & adding unimarc support (commit soon) in rel_3_0 : I really LOVE that feature !
11:06 kados    yes
11:06 paul     yep
11:06 paul     we have to translate on client side or on server side. We have setup translation on client side
11:06 kados    so querytype ccl2rpn works for you?
11:06 kados    ok
11:06 paul     no need i think i've got it.
11:05 kados    I will explain again
11:05 kados    (well, internally it only speaks RPN)
11:05 kados    it does both/either
11:04 paul     yep. but I thought zebra was speaking ccl directly. am I wrong, or it speaks only RPN & we need to "translate" ccl to rpn ?
11:03 kados    paul: and guess what, CCL search = (Type-2 Query)
11:02 kados    make sense?
11:02 kados    one is client-side (ccl2rpn) and one is server-side (ccl)
11:02 kados    and/or, you can say 'transform on the fly using ccl2rpn'
11:01 kados    and querytype ccl uses it
11:01 paul     so, zebra supports rpn only & we need to say yaz "ok soft, I give you ccl, you translate it to rpn for the server"
11:01 kados    you can start zebra telling it where a ccl file is
11:01 kados    for example
11:01 kados    because you can override zebra's knowledge of ccl
11:01 paul     they also say "ccl2rpn for ccl2rpn conversion"
11:01 kados    ccl yes, and ccl2rpn also
11:01 paul     oups, no.
11:01 paul     because, in chapter 5, page 47, it says "queryttype type the following is supported : ... ccl for CCL search"
11:00 paul     & i've found a bug in yaz-doc...
11:00 kados    paul: that will force it to use the file you specified in the -c paramater
11:00 paul     yo... it works...
11:00 kados    paul: querytype ccl2rpn
