Some how I think individual releases do not all have the files in the correct location for the barcode module. 20:36 thd pidgee: kados maybe online in half an hour or so for you to ask him or you could try the koha mailing list. 20:58 pidgee I think I've found an other problem... 20:59 pidgee Some data seems to be duplicated in tables marc_subfield_table and biblio 20:59 pidgee Is it right ? 21:02 pidgee For one book, the marc data are stored correctly in table marc_subfield_table... but nothing is stored in biblio except the timestamp... 21:02 pidgee Is it normal ? 21:06 masonj pidgee: nope, that is a bit odd 21:08 masonj depending on your kohadb/marcdb mappings, your biblio.bibitem, items records should be getting updated with your marc data 21:38 pidgee kados: hello are you online ? 21:41 kados hi pidgee 21:42 kados pidgee: what's up? 21:43 pidgee I'm using koha 2.2.5 21:43 pidgee I've a problem with the linking between the the barcode and the notice for one book... 21:43 kados I'd recommend upgrading to 2.2.9 21:44 pidgee there is nomore a barcode 505... but the search return a notice... 21:45 pidgee how is build the sql query when searching for the barcode ? 21:51 martinmorris while you're there kados - i've just sent a post to the list about a problem with barcodes I'm having 21:51 kados *nod* 21:52 martinmorris can you see it or shall i describe it again? 21:52 kados well, it's difficult because that's not exactly a maintained module 21:52 martinmorris right OK 21:52 kados someone wrote it, it never worked, and then they just up and left :-) 21:52 kados but the good news is, we just created a pretty nice new one 21:53 martinmorris in koha 3.0? 21:53 kados yep 21:54 martinmorris i can wait until then :) 21:54 kados can or can't? 21:54 martinmorris can 21:54 kados cool 22:05 thd chris: are you there? 22:13 thd kados: when I switch branches in git using the checkout command how is it possible to have different changes for multiple branches if there is only one master stored on the file system where switching branches with a checkout command does not use a different directory on the file system from the master directory? 22:32 pidgee "marc_subfield_table.bibid" should be linked to wich fields ? 23:06 thd pidgee: you are looking at something confusing because multiple keys are used redundantly 23:35 thd chris: are you awake? 23:36 thd chris: I have a question about git usage 00:09 masonj thd: chris is having a little jet-lag nap 00:10 kados naps++ 00:10 thd masonj: I should have one too 00:10 thd masonj: git kept me up past my bedtime 00:13 masonj yeah, she takes a little while to get your head around 00:13 thd masonj: do you have some experience with gitweb? 00:14 masonj a little 00:14 masonj as a user, i havent set one up 00:16 thd masonj: I am trying to set one up as a user to better understand what I am doing. I have used a local copy of viewcvs and a rsync copy of the Koha CVS to see what I am doing in CVS. 00:16 masonj right 00:17 thd masonj: unfortunately, gitweb is giving me a 403 permission denied error which I do not know how to solve 00:18 masonj yeah, ive found gitweb a good buddy to have when trying to work out what git is doing behind the scenes 00:18 masonj gitweb uses apache? 00:19 thd masonj: mine does 00:19 thd masonj: I image that any web server would do 00:19 masonj so tailing apaches error.log gives you some clues? 00:20 masonj and apaches access.log too 00:20 thd masonj: if clues were the same as solutions then I would be fine 00:20 masonj perhaps apache does have perms to read yr gitweb files 00:21 thd masonj: one of the first thing that I did was ensure that would not be true 00:22 thd masonj: I even made them world readable 00:23 masonj hmm, execute perms too? 00:24 thd masonj: everything but write permissions but I even granted those for a test 00:24 masonj :( 00:25 masonj hmmm, get chris when hes about , he has a happily running gitweb that you can compare yours too 00:26 thd masonj: yes, he must have the magic joo joo dust
