Multimaster replication is tricky, but they've got a good clean network between the two sites, so it oughta work 13:24 jdavidb Ask it, ftherese. :) 13:24 chris_n g'morning 13:24 ftherese I want to move from a filemaker database to kola 13:25 ftherese I've already installed kola 13:25 ftherese working... 13:25 ftherese but how do I import into the kola database? 13:26 ftherese I am not exactly sure where the "import" button is... and as I look at it, it is perhaps a bit more complicated 13:26 ftherese Is there a page I can read? 13:26 fredericd ftherese: You can't directly. You need first to convert you FM records into UNIMARC. 13:26 ftherese ok 13:26 ftherese I can do that 13:26 jdavidb yup. First thing, your records are going to have to be in some fairly-standard MARC form...then the import is pretty straightforward. 13:27 ftherese then how do I go about importing the unimarc formatted data? 13:27 jdavidb Here's one document on it: http://koha.org/documentation/manual/3.0/tools/stage-marc-records-for-import 13:27 jdavidb It's under "Tools" in Koha. 13:28 ftherese ok great... I'll read that 13:28 ftherese ahh.. there we go! Thanks...

I ran into a title CONCUR '99 ISBN: 3540664254 with an odd (to me) 111 field. 17:56 jwagner a International Conference on Concurrency Theory -- n (10th : -- d 1999 : c Eindhoven, Netherlands) 17:57 jwagner LC standard for 111 subfield n says it's Number of part/section/meeting. However, XSLT doesn't have it set to display, which means that part of the author field looks like 17:57 jwagner Baeten, J. C. M ; Mauw, S .International Conference on Concurrency Theory 1999 : Eindhoven, Netherlands). -- note the closing paren without the opening paren, 17:58 jdavidb That looks pretty normal for a conference author, Jane. I've eyeballed a few of them before. Might need some XSLT love. 17:58 jwagner For this particular site, I set both results and display to check for a 111n, and if present to display before 111a. Is that the best solution overall? If so, I'll do a patch. 18:00 * owen has no technical knowledge of the proper solution, would choose the solution that looks the most sensible 18:02 jdavidb That should be sensible, Jane, based on the MARC standard for 111. 18:05 jwagner Wasn't sure how widespread the 111n might be, and if it's used like this. I also want to take the XSLT closing period off the last occurrence of the 111/711 fields -- usually the entry has its own period, which means there are two in the display. 18:07 jwagner Looking at the LC MARC, it probably needs the same subfield n fix for the 711 as for the 111. 18:25 chris morning 18:28 nengard pianohacker - as I go through the prefs for documentation I have been reporting bugs to you :) 18:28 Ropuch Hi chris, pianohacker 18:28 Ropuch hello nengard 18:28 pianohacker hi, Ropuch, nengard 18:29 nengard brb 18:29 pianohacker @later tell nengard I've noticed :) working my way down through them in order of severity, will send a pull-request for all of them at once 18:29 munin pianohacker: The operation succeeded. 18:30 chris :) 18:30 chris i need to do another pull request for translations too 18:30 * chris_n greets chris 18:30 chris hiya chris_n 18:31 Ropuch Which remids i should find time to finish translating staff 18:31 chris_n and pianohacker 18:31 Ropuch s/remids/reminds me 18:31 Ropuch Hi chris_n 18:31 chris_n hi Ropuch 18:31 pianohacker hi, chris_* 18:32 chris_n heh 18:35 pianohacker It's actually rather satisfying to work through a list of bugs 18:42 chris has anyone tried the new live cd?

precedence? 18:46 * chris_n tries to get his math co-processor untied out of a gordian knot :-P 18:46 chris no its just printing the first bit 18:47 Ropuch chris_n: I have no idea, I don't know perl, I've just figured this out [; 18:47 chris perl -e '$a = (4 - 2) + 4 ; print $a' 18:48 chris its just a function of the print 18:48 chris not the math 18:48 Ropuch Hm, Live CD is worth trying 18:48 chris_n tnx 18:48 * chris_n always thought he was fairly good at math, but was beginning to doubt it 18:49 chris :) 18:50 chris ok bus time 19:08 nengard well then pianohacker I'm glad to be of service :) 19:09 pianohacker nengard: I do appreciate the checking, a lot of the descriptions are a bit... byzantine 19:10 nengard I'm glad I'm re-writing the manual - it requires me to pay more attention than copying the old one into XML 19:18 wizzyrea so this kiosk is basically just a web browser + ubuntu defaulted to your koha catalog? 19:18 wizzyrea (we do this using a thing called webconverger) 19:19 nengard okay - question about stopwrods 19:19 nengard stopwords 19:19 nengard we have a pref for them - but the link from the admin panel for them is gone .... 19:20 owen nengard: The link is hidden if you use Zebra 19:20 owen The link only shows now if noZebra is turned on 19:20 nengard thanks owen - then pianohacker - you may want to remove the link to stop words from the preferences 19:21 nengard off to write another bug 19:22 owen http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3564 19:22 munin 04Bug 3564: minor, PATCH-Sent, ---, paul.poulain@biblibre.com, RESOLVED FIXED, Hide Stop Words configuration if NoZebra is ON 19:22 owen That's when it changed. 19:24 nengard thanks 19:25 cait not sure if its a bug or a feature: staff can add books to every public list, but only in list module, its not possible from detail or result 19:28 owen cait: I think it's not correct that any staff member should be able to add to any public list 19:28 cait hm oh i like it, but i think it should be possible everywhere 19:28 owen One should only be able to add to lists which you created 19:29 cait its in nicoles documentation on lists to 19:29 cait so I dont think its a bug, but intended to work this way in lists 19:30 nengard owen - I disagree 19:30 nengard I'd like that the staff should be able to alter the public lists 19:31 nengard or - I think that the staff should be able to alter the public lists 19:31 nengard sorry -brain tired 19:31 cait in my libary staff wants to make heavy use of lists, but once one created the list, the other cant add books easily (only by barcode) 19:31 cait nengard: do you think it should work on result list and detail page too? 19:31 nengard right - so the staff should be able to edit all but private lists 19:31 nengard it should work all over - if it works at all 19:31 cait nengard: I think this makes sense 19:32 cait ok, I will retest it later (just to be sure) and file a bug 19:32 nengard okay - off to eat lunch 19:32 * nengard lunching 19:38 chris back at work 19:40 owen Hi chris 19:40 chris heya owen, hows things?

You could 22:26 ftherese save your spreadsheet as tab-delimited text or CSV, then use MarcEdit 22:26 ftherese to create a file that you can import into Koha. 22:27 wizzyrea have you been able to export your filemaker in a delimited format? 22:27 wizzyrea tab or comma? 22:27 ftherese I can do either 22:27 ftherese I am just trying to figure out which fields should be included 22:27 ftherese and if they need to be named properly before importing 22:27 ftherese and if there is an order they need to be in 22:27 wizzyrea Ah, ok, so start there. MARC edit should help with that part (at least, in my limited experience) 22:28 wizzyrea I believe you can use marc edit to associate to the correct field no matter where it lies 22:28 wizzyrea how to explain... 22:28 ftherese So... I can just dump my filemaker data into csv 22:28 ftherese and import that into marc 22:28 wizzyrea yea, pretty much 22:28 wizzyrea at least, in my limited experience with marcedit 22:29 chris with the caveat 22:29 ftherese and then edit the info from there... ok... 22:29 wizzyrea there's a process for "tagging" the marc fields 22:29 chris you have to tell marcedit what field goes to what 22:29 chris ie if its MARC21 22:29 chris title = 245a 22:29 wizzyrea right, I can't remember what the little subapp is called that does that 22:29 wizzyrea or lets you do that tagging 22:29 chris you will want to find a cataloguer to help you with that 22:30 wizzyrea we had pretty good luck looking through the koha frameworks 22:30 wizzyrea to find the bits we wanted 22:30 wizzyrea it's time consuming, for sure 22:30 ftherese well it couldn't take as much time as re-entering all the books by hand 22:30 ftherese re-keying them that is 22:31 ftherese ok... another question 22:31 wizzyrea absolutely it won't take as long as that :) 22:31 chris bbiab 22:31 ftherese my library database has a few different "objects" in fact, within filemaker they were split into different databases that are conencted 22:32 ftherese so, one database for the card catalogue... which I imagine is the only thing Marc is concerned with 22:32 ftherese another database full of users and account information 22:32 wizzyrea patrons, good 22:33 wizzyrea circ history? 22:33 ftherese another database filled with the individual books and their identification number 22:33 wizzyrea ah, ok, so bibs, patrons, and item data are all separate 22:33 ftherese yeah... 22:34 ftherese is that pretty straightforward to get into koha? 22:34 ftherese or does koha even deal with all the practicalities of a library 22:34 ftherese like printing the call numbers 22:34 wizzyrea well, in koha each item is a set of (god forgive me, i'm not a cataloger) 952 fields 22:34 wizzyrea yep it does all of that stuff 22:35 wizzyrea so you could map your data (honestly, we only had to deal with exporting the data, we had a team of pros do our actual migration, which I would heartily recommend) 22:35 ftherese when you say item... you are referring to an individual book for example? 22:35 wizzyrea yep 22:35 wizzyrea so in koha, you have a bib record, and you "hang" items in the 952 associated with that bib 22:36 wizzyrea so you have title records with item records attached to it 22:36 ftherese and then you hang patrons on the items? 22:36 ftherese (or you hang the patrons if they don't return the items) 22:36 wizzyrea LOL :) 22:37 ftherese how does the cataloging work? 22:37 ftherese If we have our own cataloging system for example 22:37 wizzyrea a couple of ways, you can do ztarget searches to search for an item by ISBN and pull records from a trusted source, or you can type them in yourself through the interface 22:38 wizzyrea or you can bulk load them 22:38 ftherese sorry...
