17:23 paul  does NZ know that Matthieu Poulain is born on sunday, 11:26AM ?
17:22 _paul hello russ
16:37 cm    thanks!
16:36 cm    i'm fairly certain a lot of our dates in 008 are wrong.
16:36 cm    okay, simple enough.
16:36 kados if you wanted to just have one place to deal with
16:36 kados so you coul remove the sort index on 008
16:36 kados yea
16:36 cm    probably 260$c would be our most 'normal'.
16:36 kados let me know if you need more info
16:35 kados you'll need to pick a field or fields to 'normalize'
16:35 cm    that makes sense.
16:35 kados so if you want to sort accurately by date
16:35 kados the marc data's not consistantly 4 chars long so it didn't work IIRC
16:35 cm    ok.
16:35 kados think I was just experimenting with it
16:35 kados that'd be the year index
16:35 cm    what does the :y do?
16:34 cm    hmm, mine doesn't have Date:y.
16:34 kados yet
16:34 kados looks like there isn't one for 362
16:34 kados there's another sort index on Date
16:34 kados melm 260$c              Date,Date:s,Date:y
16:34 cm    yes, i've been staring at the zebra documentation.  :)
16:34 kados that's one way
16:34 kados tells you there's a sort index (the s) on the range 11-14
16:34 cm    so it's indexing by what's in 008?
16:33 kados Date:s:range(data,11,4)
16:33 kados that's the 008 line
16:33 kados melm 008                ln:n:range(data,35,3),ctype:w:range(data,24,4),Date:n:range(data,0,5),Date:s:range(data,0,5),Date:n:range(data,7,4),Date:s:range(data,7,4),Date:n:range(data,11,4),Date:s:range(data,11,4),pubdate:n:range(data,7,4),pubdate:s:range(data,7,4),dateaddeddb:n:range(data,0,5),dateaddeddb:s:range(data,0,5),pl:w:range(data,15,3),ta:w:range(data,22,1),ff8-23:w:range(data,23,1),ff8-29:w:range(data,29,1),lf:w:range(data,33,1),bio:w:range(data,34,1),
16:32 cm    okay, cool.
16:32 kados cm: have a look at the "Dates" section there
16:32 kados cm: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=zebrasearchingdefinitions
16:31 cm    i imported a record from NPL and it sorted properly, so I figured it was our data.
16:31 cm    yeah, that's certainly a possible culprit.
16:31 kados i think i wrote a blurb about this somewhere, lemme track it down
16:30 kados p1999
16:30 kados or
16:30 kados c2004
16:30 cm    yeah, i'm not suprised, given the state of our marc records.  :)
16:30 kados my guess is that any weirdness you're seeing is because your dates are formatted like this:
16:30 cm    is it looking at 008 or 260c or what?
16:30 kados it's MARC :-)
16:30 kados well it's not zebra's fault
16:30 cm    uh oh...  :)
16:30 kados hehe
16:30 cm    i have a question about how zebra is sorting by publication date
16:29 kados cm: sure, what's up?
16:29 cm    kados, do you have a moment?
12:05 cm    do you want it in the chat you just opened?
11:59 hdl   cm : yes please send me.
11:47 cm    can I send somebody a diff?
11:46 cm    but I fixed it.
11:46 cm    i found some problems with Calendar.pm that kept me from deleting repeatable holidays,
11:46 cm    morning all
11:17 atol  Thanks for the help!
11:16 atol  You can mail me at danny.aerts [a] atol.be if you want to try such an import.
11:16 atol  To Paul: Sorry, was away from the computer
