But with jquery it's even harder since a name or a class can be a hook for manipulation just as easily as an ID 20:20 atz yeah, with jquery it gets hard to know which elements are important to structure and which are incidental 20:18 owen That will have to be corrected if it turns out that is desirable. And if so, sorry for jumping the gun. 20:18 owen I committed a change to Biblio.pm that removed the <span> from output to serials-edit.tmpl, seeing no functionality for it. Didn't realize it could be used for subfield cloning 20:15 hdl 22 PM here. 20:14 hdl I'll cope with it tomorrow morning. 20:14 hdl pls feel free to file a bug. 20:14 hdl If so, I will remove spans from there. 20:14 hdl kados : would it be OK to disable repeatable subfield for item ? Should this be marked as enhancement ? Should clonesubfield be removed from additems.pl ? and thus from serials-edit.pl ? 20:11 hdl yes. 20:09 owen It must depend on the framework? 20:09 hdl No way to tell which one should be displayed. 20:08 hdl particule and test. 20:08 hdl particule only is displayed where two values should be displayed with | or whatever. 20:07 owen What's bad about the display? 20:07 hdl kados do you agree ? 20:07 hdl So maybe subfield cloning is BAAAD for item. 20:05 hdl http://i14.hdlaurent.paulpoulain.com/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/additem.pl?op=edititem&biblionumber=325&itemnumber=129622 20:05 hdl And display is weird : 20:04 hdl But edition results in concatenation of values. 20:04 hdl item subfield is clonable in additems. 20:01 owen I don't see any way to clone a subfield in items 20:01 hdl What do you think ? Is CloneSubfield used in items management ?? 19:59 hdl It is used in CloneSeubfield. 19:57 owen What is the purpose of the <span>? Why does it need an id? 19:57 hdl I Could try a random number but it would be dangerous. 19:57 owen ? 19:57 hdl owen : i have a problem : no candidate id. 19:47 hdl Trying sthg. 19:47 hdl I understand. 19:45 hdl And so id is not an id. 19:45 owen I don't know. The line in Biblio.pm was similar, but had no $i to make it unique. 19:44 hdl i can't think of a worse name as error for sthg which is not an error message. 19:44 hdl can you tell me what it is there for ? 19:43 hdl There is span id="error$i" where $i is named from subfieldcount. 19:43 owen yes 19:42 hdl owen : look at line 286 in additems.pl 19:29 hdl owen looking now the stuff you asked me 16:50 liz-nekls_ the info they allow me to pass doesn't correlate all too well to the data I get out of koha... probably their limitation not ours 16:49 liz-nekls_ ^.^ 16:48 liz-nekls_ ok.. so next question, since the marc record presumably holds the series information, what would the template tag be for that? 16:43 nengard that i never knew - they don't teach us unimarc in US library school 16:42 gmcharlt as well 16:41 gmcharlt for example, UKMARC had separate subfields for surname and forename 16:41 gmcharlt nengard: MARC21, specifically. It's a pity how whenever MARC21 absorbs another national MARC format, the good stuff from the other one tends to get dropped 16:41 paul nengard & liz-nekls & kados : isn't that very funny : UNIMARC has that ;-) (although we don't have a surname/firstname index anyway, so we don't use this feature) 16:39 nengard isn't that funny - with all of the detail MARC goes into it doesn't have multiple name fields 16:37 liz-nekls_ ah, ty 16:37 kados liz-nekls_: MARC doesn't have separate fields for last and first names, so no, there is just 'name' 16:36 liz-nekls_ but the title doesn't seem to work and it doesn't work with the full name in the last name 16:36 liz-nekls_ I want to use it to pass a search on to http://ww2.kdl.org/libcat/WhatsNextNEW.asp?AuthorLastName=Rowling%2C%20J.%20K.&AuthorFirstName=&SeriesName=&BookTitle=&cmdSearch=Search&Search=1 16:36 liz-nekls_ is there a template tag for author last name only? 15:50 nengard http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1917 15:50 kados liz-nekls_: another opportunity for sponsorship :-0 15:50 nengard liz-nekls i have a request in for that 15:48 liz-nekls_ i always wondered why the virtual shelves didn't have rss feeds 15:45 Sharon maybe we'll sponsor that 15:44 owen Since it doesn't even use Koha's database the way I have it written, there's not much point :| 15:44 owen That should be the case if someone can make it work directly from the database or from a virtual shelf 15:43 owen The way we do it, it requires regular staff maintenance. But maybe you guys can figure out a way to streamline it 15:43 Sharon hi Nicole...thought i'd join the fun 15:42 Sharon as all of our member libraries have seen the Athens County opac, they're very interested in having that kind of added content (bells and whistles) 15:42 nengard hiya sharon 15:41 owen They'll have to be adapted to your needs, but they'll give you an idea for how it works 15:40 Sharon owen, I'll say YES to that for NEKLS. 15:38 owen liz-nekls: I'd be happy to send you the PHP scripts for that if you're interested. 15:37 nengard you may want to talk to her in person and catch her up :) 15:37 nengard liz-nekls sharon was asking about the recent title on IM - told her we were talking with owen about that here 15:27 kados yay 15:27 cnighs kados: I'm having them try one other thing to try to determine if it is related or not 15:26 cnighs kados: all previous error triggering MARC's have been saved now with the exception of one which still causes the error 15:20 paul atz, yes, I know/hope. That's why I thought I could have missed a fresh branch ;-) 15:19 kados cnighs: any word back from your catalogers? 15:16 atz paul: i'm sure it won't be too long though... 15:14 cnighs acmoore: 107 is all your's if you like :-) 15:14 paul thx, I was afraid I missed something... 15:13 cnighs paul: no, it's just on hold in my repo 15:13 gmcharlt paul: no 15:13 paul cnighs: what does it mean "that patch got pushed to 3.2" ? is there a 3.2 repo somewhere ??? 15:11 acmoore no worries. Thanks! 15:10 cnighs acmoore: actually that patch got pushed to 3.2, I'll go and release my claim to it, sorry 15:10 acmoore cnighs: I notice that you have claimed database version 3.00.00.107. I don't see a patch from you implementing it yet, though. Have you submitted on, or do you have one ready or anything? 15:07 danny thanks gmcharlt 15:01 gmcharlt danny: depending on why file should not be tracked, you can use .gitignore, .git/info/exclude, or the core.excludefiles git-config setting to cause files to be ignored (and left alone) by git 15:00 gmcharlt danny: also see http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitignore.html 14:58 danny thanks 14:58 danny ok I will do that 14:57 kados git fetch; git rebase origin 14:57 kados that shoudln't touch files outside of Git's pervue 14:57 kados danny: in place of pull, try fetch and rebase 14:55 danny ok, a git question for anyone that may have encountered this, I have a file that I do not want to track, but anytime I do a git pull the file seems to be deleted, I don't want the file to be deleted, just don't want it to be tracked 14:20 nengard hdl_laptop okay - i'll close the bug .... 14:20 hdl_laptop nengard: works for me. 14:17 nengard hdl_laptop does it work for you? 14:14 hdl_laptop nengard: this is weird indeed. 14:14 hdl_laptop owen : I will try and see why. 14:13 nengard there are several tools out there to let you display rss feeds on web pages 14:13 liz-nekls_ that one might not happen in 2 weeks though lol 14:12 nengard that would work 14:12 liz-nekls_ either a list or a rss'd search 14:12 liz-nekls_ nengard I was thinking about a method to display the rss feed of a similar query 13:59 kados cnighs: because every library does it differently and even within a batch you might use different rules 13:59 kados cnighs: the best way to do this woul dbe to allow specific marc tags/subfields to be added to the label for classification 13:59 kados DDC is 082 $a $b 13:58 kados libraries can use the standard for each type LCC is 050 $a $b (class, item) 13:58 nengard liz-nekls i bet you could write a php script to point to the koha db and get the most recent titles by searching on the acq date 13:58 kados well, it depends 13:58 cnighs these fields that is 13:58 cnighs how are they derived or where are they entered? 13:58 kados cnighs: there is also a 'prefix' 13:58 kados cnighs: yea, mostly 13:57 kados but at the item level we only have itemcallnumber 13:57 cnighs are these common to all call numbers (ie. LCCN, DDCN, etc)? 13:57 kados those are the three parts of the call number available at the bib-level 13:57 kados cn_suffix 13:57 kados cn_item 13:57 kados cn_class 13:56 kados lemme check something real quick 13:56 kados so it's possible some libraries only want some parts of the call number displaying on the label 13:56 kados but call numbers have parts 13:55 kados I suspect so 13:55 cnighs ok, so it sound like all three need to be removed 13:55 kados subclass ... is probably built into itemcallnumber already 13:55 cnighs hrmm, so is 'Call Number' 13:54 kados classification is items.itemcallnumber 13:54 kados cnighs: so it should be removed from the label (!!) 13:54 kados cnighs: subtitle doesn't have a mapping anymore 13:54 cnighs these fields do not currently appear in the items, biblioitems, or biblio tables 13:53 cnighs does anyone know what db fields 'Subtitle', 'Classification', and 'Subclass' should be related to as they appear on labels/label-edit-layout.pl? 13:53 liz-nekls_ I wondered what it was pulling from ^.^ 13:53 liz-nekls_ right, I noticed that in your source 13:53 owen So I've got a php script on our web server (not the Koha server), which pulls the data, and an iframe in the opac main page displays it 13:53 liz-nekls_ yea, mine too, (insomuch as you can call it "expertise" :P) 13:52 owen No, but that's really just because my expertise is PHP, not Perl. 13:52 liz-nekls_ I was thinking of some way to display a list that they would generate in koha 13:51 liz-nekls_ yea, that makes perfect sense... but he doesn't use the list feature in Koha (or maybe that doesn't exist in 2.x) 13:51 owen He gets the titles from a list of recently-ordered titles, picking the ones he thinks will be of interest 13:51 liz-nekls_ hmmm 13:51 owen A staff member builds the list by hand 13:51 liz-nekls_ interesting 13:50 owen Nope. 13:50 liz-nekls_ so that doesn't pull the data from your library catalog at all? 13:50 liz-nekls_ Ahh I see 13:50 owen It relies on an external database, the one that we use for content on our library's web site 13:49 liz-nekls_ Owen - I've been meaning to ask you about how you did your magic on the Athens County home page, specifically displaying the upcoming titles 13:48 nengard morning liz-nekls 13:48 nengard okay this is wierd - hdl_laptop and kados when i got to edit serials now they're right - do i have a new patch for 2470 - or do you think the combo of 2361 & 2470 make it work - either way, 2470 now works 13:47 liz-nekls_ 'mornin 13:46 owen Hi liz-nekls 13:41 hdl_laptop owen : seen. 13:28 owen Why the "error" id? 13:28 owen hdl_laptop, do you know why, on serials-edit.pl, the item entry form labels all have <span id="error"> in them? 13:27 hdl_laptop nengard: can i test on your intranet ? 13:27 hdl_laptop you're welcome 13:23 nengard thanks hdl_laptop 13:23 hdl_laptop nengard: will see my bugfix tonight and will resend. 13:18 nengard :) 13:18 owen I'll see what I can do. 13:14 nengard but if you're skimming the list you can't always find the right field for the data you want to enter 13:14 nengard so it reads : "Source of cl" but if you mouse over you get "Source of classification' 13:14 nengard yep 13:14 owen You have to mouse over them? You mean to get a tooltip? 13:13 nengard do you want a bug for this? 13:13 nengard you have to mouse over them to see the full text of them 13:13 nengard owen for serials when adding an item one the receive form the labels are being cut off 13:12 owen Yes 13:12 nengard owen are you around? 13:12 nengard hdl_laptop and kados 2361 works and is makred FIXED :) 13:10 kados hdl_laptop: Nicole has updated the report 13:10 kados hdl_laptop: OK ... but also please note that 2470 ... your patch didn't work 13:09 hdl_laptop right now. 13:09 hdl_laptop i am not at home and would not be able to add the patch. 13:08 hdl_laptop kados : will comment on 2451 later today. 13:07 hdl_laptop kados : my patch only fixes the ability to get branchcodes and callnumber. 13:05 hdl_laptop kados: about patch 2351, can't tell atm 13:05 hdl_laptop kados: patch for 2361 sent to you and koha-patches. 12:49 cnighs git rm -f koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/prog/en/css/colors.npl.css fixes it 12:44 nengard hdl_laptop i have updated bug 2470 - it's still not working as expected 12:36 kados cnighs: try checking in that file maybe? 12:35 cnighs A koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/prog/en/css/colors.npl.css 12:35 cnighs cannot rebase: your index is not up-to-date 12:35 cnighs biblios:~/koha.git# git rebase origin 12:35 cnighs anyone know what to do with this: 12:33 kados hdl_laptop: also, I need your patch for 2361, I don't have it 12:29 kados hdl_laptop: and if you can comment on 2451 that'd be great 12:29 kados hdl_laptop: can you confirm that you're happy with bug 2351 now? or are there remaining issues still? 12:28 kados ok 12:28 hdl_laptop paul here but having conference. 12:26 kados paul: can you verify by testing that 2451 can be closed with what's been pushed into Git? 12:26 kados paul: you here? 12:12 hdl_laptop hi owen gmcharlt cnighs 12:10 gmcharlt greetings all 12:10 owen Hi danny, #koha 12:10 nengard hiya danny 12:10 danny hello #koha
