22:18 chris_n do services really take that long to recycle?
22:18 chris cool
22:17 pianohack thanks chris
22:17 pianohack thar we go
22:12 chris pianohack: can you try services now please
22:12 chris yay
22:11 richard sorry, server was restarted
22:11 chris hmm yeah
22:11 * chris_n feels rather bounced
22:07 pianohack Services still aren't back up
22:07 pianohack I saw a message about a SIGTERM
22:07 chris hmm server restart? or network outage
21:52 pianohack Hi chris
21:51 chris hi pianohack
21:42 pianohack Good afternoon
21:26 caser 'night all
21:19 jcamins Good night.
21:18 cait good night all
21:18 cait rain. what else.
21:18 munin cait: The current temperature in Konstanz, Germany is 12.0ï¿½C (11:00 PM CEST on June 21, 2010). Conditions: Mostly Cloudy. Humidity: 72%. Dew Point: 9.0ï¿½C. Pressure: 30.14 in 1021 hPa (Rising).
21:18 cait @wunder Konstanz
21:17 cait :)
21:14 jcamins In the meantime, I'll take this.
21:14 jcamins Ideally at some point Koha will support a many-many relationship between items and bibs.
21:13 cait you can have items without barcodes, but must be careful when reimporting data.
21:13 jcamins Fair enough.
21:12 cait perhaps there are better solutions, but its works until I have a better idea :)
21:11 cait there is a footnote in the holdings in the union catalog, but its text, nothing you can do a nice link with
21:11 jcamins I didn't know you could do that.
21:11 cait we overwrite bibliographic information in koha with data from our union catalog, so I had to put it in the item
21:11 jcamins Oh, brilliant!
21:10 cait and the second item provides a link to the first record
21:10 jcamins I guess that would work for us, since we don't check books out.
21:10 cait yes
21:10 cait https://hfjs.bsz-bw.de/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=3413
21:10 jcamins So only the first item has a barcode?
21:09 cait not a real good solution... but it works and is not too confusing for patrons (I hope)
21:09 cait in hfjs library
21:08 cait jacamins: we use dummy items in hjf
21:08 jcamins *"
21:08 jcamins Other than "if you bang your head on the desk hard enough, you'll forget about the bound-withs)
21:06 jcamins (i.e., two top-level bib records bound together willy-nilly into one binding, thus sharing a barcode and call number)
21:05 jcamins Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with bound-withs?
20:55 chris meeting time bbiab
20:52 chris hi richard
20:51 richard hi
20:45 caser er --got it
20:45 caser go it - thanks!
20:33 chris thanks
20:33 cait wb chris
20:29 chris back
20:28 sekjal caser: items.wthdrawn
20:23 caser I see it's actively being worked on. Does anyone know the location in the database I can query on - to do it manually?
20:18 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3082 enhancement, P5, ---, gmcharlt, NEW, Guided reports - withdrawn status field not available for selection
20:18 caser Greetings! Anyone know anything about bug 3082 - generating a report on the withdrawn status field?
20:14 cait sekjal: perhaps its used in unimarc, I think there is a serial flag there for items
20:13 chris Ok nearly my stop bbiab
20:08 sekjal Publication Details, which I assume is either materials specified or enumchron
20:08 sekjal it does add a column to the items table in the staff client's biblio detail page, however
20:05 sekjal I think it may be an older field, from before Zebra
20:05 nengard oh well - guessed wrong :)
20:05 sekjal nengard: just tested that, and no, the serial flag alone doesn't seem to add the subscription tab
20:03 jcamins Thank you.
20:00 nengard jcamins i don't think it's a big deal - what it probably does is add the 'subscription' tab to the bib display in the opac and the staff client
20:00 * chris clocks in from the bus
19:57 jcamins Okay, well, I'm going to assume it's not a problem, because I can't figure out why it's set to yes in the first place.
19:56 sekjal I'm not sure... my instinct is towards 'no'... but I can't say that authoritatively
19:53 jcamins Does it matter if biblio.serial is set to yes for a monograph record?
19:50 sekjal by default, it maps from the 942s field
19:50 sekjal jcamins: in theory, it should indicate if the biblio is a serial record or not. but whether it's populated or not depends on your data
19:49 jcamins Is biblio.serial used for anything?
19:46 * chris goes to catch his bus
18:43 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4474 normal, P5, ---, katrin.fischer, NEW, sypref singleBranchMode swapped in new syspref editor

17:59 cait bug 4474
17:59 cait nengard: no problem, I will try 4474
17:59 nengard hehe sorry cait
17:59 jwagner I was rather curious as to what would happen if I put them into the updatedatabase script, and someone had already created them locally.
17:58 jcamins As a cataloger, I find 59x for custom note fields vastly preferable to 9xx. I could not speak to the technical issues, however.
17:57 cait ah ok, wanted to do that too, will pick on another bug :)
17:57 nengard cait - yes
17:57 jwagner The 59x ones aren't in the framework. But somebody could be using them locally, like I am.
17:57 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4900 critical, P5, ---, nengard, ASSIGNED, sys pref useDaysMode misses option Datedue
17:57 cait nengard: working on bug 4900?
17:56 cait but better ask gmcharlt or chris
17:56 cait when you dont do a database update, libraries using the fields shoudl be fine
17:55 cait jwagner: are these fields in the framework yet?
17:53 jwagner I'm worried about overwriting anything a site might be using locally in 591-592-593
17:51 jwagner cait, any kind you like :-)
17:51 jwagner I have a local development involving new indexes and the allocation of three MARC fields for specialized notes. I'm pondering turning it into a submission. I used 591, 592, and 593 MARC fields for this purpose -- do you think it's OK to submit the framework changes to add those fields, or should I use some other (maybe a 9xx)?
17:51 * jdavidb waves to cait
17:51 cait twilight vampires or real vampires?
17:51 cait jwagner: vampires?
17:49 jwagner Probably eaten by vampires...
17:49 * chris_n finds the 'V' section of his Webster's is missing.... :-P
17:49 jwagner vacations? What are those???
17:38 cait but not me ;) I did the geman web installer files in my last vacation
17:38 cait some people would say its not a vacation when you start hacking koha
17:38 owen That's what my vacation lacked: Koha hacking
17:37 hdl bye folks
17:35 cait hi #koha

16:58 nengard something
16:57 nengard I'm always doing smething
16:57 nengard but that is like the top question I get when I speak - "how do you keep up with everything?" I honestly have no answers except that I don't sit still well
16:57 chris_n lol :)
16:57 nengard no one else would ever be able to understand anything that comes out of there
16:56 nengard chris_n sorry that code is locked up in my brain :) hehe
16:56 munin jdavidb: The operation succeeded. Quote #77 added.
16:56 jdavidb @quote add *chris_n wants to know if nengard figures out how to do 1 million things at once... and if she will release the source code or not
16:55 collum Now it's 1 million and 1
16:54 * chris_n wants to know if nengard figures out how to do 1 million things at once... and if she will release the source code or not
16:52 nengard manual is updated with the latest commits
16:51 nengard trying to do 1 million things at once
16:51 nengard sorry i wasn't clearer
16:51 * owen is happy to work on that
16:50 gmcharlt_ yep, having them be the same icons (or similar, maybe different colors or somethign to distinguish between fields and subfields) woudl be more consistent
16:49 nengard next to repeatable fields there is a + or - ... shouldn't they be those icons as well
16:48 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4868 enhancement, P5, ---, oleonard, ASSIGNED, Improve controls for cloning and deleting MARC subfields

16:30 * LBA waves hello and bye bye - was just checking in
16:11 wizzyrea and only because I have to
16:11 wizzyrea I think the only microsoft thing I use with any kind of regularity is MSN messenger
16:11 wizzyrea "and what I love about technology is that I have the freedom to do that"
16:10 wizzyrea and I said "I'll work on anything but microsoft"
16:10 wizzyrea we were introducing ourselves, and we had to say the one thing we love about technology
16:10 wizzyrea the other day I was at a meeting
16:10 wizzyrea you don't have to tell me
16:10 wizzyrea haha
16:09 kf bye chris_n :)

15:15 jwagner OK, thanks owen
15:10 owen Not that I know of jwagner
15:09 jwagner I know there's the option of using an alternate opac-XXXX file -- is there any way to use alternatives for the other css files, like hierarchy, print, etc.?
15:09 owen Yes
15:08 jwagner owen, online?
14:42 * magnus saunters into dinner- and afternoonland

14:37 * owen wanders into Drupal-land
14:22 owen :D
14:22 jdavidb I should be so lucky.
14:22 * owen gets it! jdavidb is high.
14:21 jdavidb I'm having a sign made for my office door: "The Mushroom Patch." The owen, clever fellow that he is, will realize that as an answer to his question.
14:21 jcamins Brilliant! Now, was that an answer to owen?
14:20 * jdavidb falls over laughing.
14:20 * munin reloads and spins the chambers.
14:20 jdavidb @roulette
14:20 owen jdavidb or jwagner : Don't know if you know anything about it, but I'm curious what is happening with LibLime's â€¡biblios.net. Will it continue?
14:17 jcamins Want to try again, jdavidb, just to make sure... ?
14:17 collum famous last words

07:39 magnus @wunder bodo, norway
07:14 kf no problem
07:13 Irinie many thanks
07:13 Irinie ok
07:12 kf just make sure you set a and b
07:12 Irinie ok it is 952$o
07:12 kf the marc record needs 1 952 field for every item
07:12 kf or take a look at the subfields when you add an item manually, its not too difficult
07:11 kf you can look at your bibliographic framework and field 952
07:11 kf I found the documentation page, but the table is broken: http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual/?ch=a9836
07:11 kf there is a field for that
07:10 Irinie what I will need specially is the call number
07:09 kf Irinie: what you will need is subfields a, b (home and holding branch, can be teh same), barcode and itemtype
07:09 Irinie ok thanks
07:07 kf give me a minute, I think there is some documentation in the manual
07:07 kf so repeated 952 fields is the answer
07:07 Irinie marc 21
07:06 kf Irinie: marc21 or unimarc?
07:06 Irinie Good morning, I sucess to import record from excel sheet to marc using marcedit. are there anway to import the items for this records also??

02:28 * wasabi : pats chris_n on the back
02:27 chris_n lol, g'night
02:27 wasabi ok, i sssssh now... nite chris
02:26 wasabi haaay... a koha-circ iphone.app!
02:24 chris_n ok, enough fun (not) for the evening... time to sleep
02:24 wasabi sliverlight/adobe-air/flash
02:24 wasabi not... ;)
02:23 wasabi im working on a silverlight offline circ-module
02:23 chris_n hehe
02:22 wasabi ... and run away!!!!
02:22 wasabi now find someone else to take the win32-koha port over
02:21 wasabi very well done
02:21 chris_n just a minor adjustment or two to get the zebra related perl modules to build
02:20 wasabi and i was afraid i might bork my work-lappy
02:20 chris_n so at present the install is very much like a *nix install
02:20 wasabi most of the tricky stuff for me was around osx xml libs
02:20 chris_n and most coding changes to the installer are already in the 3.1.x codebase
02:19 chris_n all koha's perl deps are available via cpan with strawberry
02:19 wasabi oops, wrong window ;)
02:19 alohalog took me *ages* to get going....
02:18 alohalog chris_n: i did the same thing with koha3 on my macbook
02:15 chris_n the "enterprise" edition is free
02:12 Genji and how is it different to activestate?
02:12 chris_n http://strawberryperl.com/
02:12 chris_n the open source port of perl to Win32
02:12 Genji hmm? whats strawberry?
02:11 chris_n Genji: this is running over strawberry not activestate
02:11 chris_n in this case it is self-inflicted pain soley for the purpose of saying, "I can do it."
02:11 Genji ive done it before.. it was koha 2.x though.
02:08 wizzyrea_ chris_n: that *is* sadistic
02:07 chris_n yup, its a sort of sadistic attraction I can't seem to shake
02:05 chris heh
02:05 robin Goodness, that's running on XP. That sounds like an un-fun exercise.
02:02 chris_n for all of those doubters among us ;-)
02:02 chris_n http://imagebin.ca/view/OlJyUDA.html
02:02 chris_n and wins
