Time Nick Message 22:08 JeremyLC I'll try to catch him later. Time for me to leave my office now, too. 21:47 wizzyrea when you search in the opac? 21:47 wizzyrea hm, can someone tell me which marc field the pubdate sort is sorting on? 21:47 darling JeremyLC, chris is out of the office today or he'd probably have you a response by now 21:28 JeremyLC the default "new framework" has a mind bending 15+ pages of fields 21:27 JeremyLC I think we just need to setup some pared-down frameworks for our materials 21:26 sekjal the interface could certainly be modified to hide MARC from the user 21:25 JeremyLC guess we'll have to sort out what to do with the MARC records, then 21:24 JeremyLC "Yes Koha was originally designed to be used without MARC. As MARC support was added this functionality was lost. Its something I definitely want to add back. At least the ability to not ever have to see MARC, even if it is being used in the background" - Chris Cormack 21:23 JeremyLC I'm not seeing how to do cataloguing without using MARC records 21:23 sekjal it would be great to allow for other metadata formats than MARC, but it would be a bear to get Zebra to be able digest them 21:23 sekjal JeremyLC: no, I don't believe it did 21:20 JeremyLC Is it possible to use Koha without using MARC? I saw, through some searching, that that feature ell by the wayside a couple years back, but I couldn't find weather it ever made it back in. 20:38 chris Ok boarding time to switch the phone off 20:36 cait ok, bed time - bye all :) 20:35 chris Thank you 20:35 cait have a nice day in christchurch :) 20:34 chris Hiya cait 20:34 cait hi chris 20:34 wizzyrea ooh, fun 20:34 chris They are long time koha users 20:34 * chris is off to christchurch for the day to do some koha work at the spinal unit of the hospital 20:30 Flanagan I'll check those out. Thanks. 20:29 wizzyrea hey chris 20:28 brendan hi chris_airport 20:28 * chris says hi from the airport 20:27 wizzyrea flanagan also: http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual/?ch=x5033 20:26 wizzyrea may help you 20:26 wizzyrea Flanagan: http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual/?ch=c7165#AEN7171 19:54 Flanagan My cataloger needs some instruction in importing OCLC records into Koha. Can someone direct me, please? 19:50 owen Great! 19:48 indradg_ :) 19:48 indradg_ owen, working nicely! http://opac.wbsub.ac.in/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=14463&shelfbrowse_itemnumber=15#shelfbrowser 19:48 owen Yes 19:48 indradg_ owen, around? 18:32 aarkerio I'm a python coder and I am little rusty on Perl so I will check, thx to all! 18:30 owen aarkerio: Feel free to add an RFC to the wiki if you develop a plan to add the feature to Koha 18:30 aarkerio I will review http://search.cpan.org/~iroberts/Solaris-ACL-0.06/ACL.pm and see how difficult is implement Acces Control Lists in perl 18:28 ebegin aarkerio, or there is the Import User features in the Tools module allowing you to import user from a csv file 18:28 aarkerio ok, thx a lot!! 18:27 owen aarkerio: You could also update a group of patron's permissions directly in MySQL if you needed to do a bulk modification 18:27 cait one patron for more than one person 18:27 owen aarkerio: Permissions are attached to a user, not a category 18:26 cait you don't need a user for every staff member, you can also use group logins, if you like that better 18:25 aarkerio there is no ACL in Koha? 18:25 aarkerio I don't wanna edit user by user until finish 30 users 18:24 owen aarkerio: You can't do that. It's not how it works. 18:24 aarkerio thanks for your help, but I wanna create an "Admin" rol and add the new users so the permissions are in the "heritance" 18:22 ebegin aarkerio, this will help you : http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual/?ch=x5732 18:21 owen Then look for the "more" menu button in the button toolbar on that page 18:21 owen Click that patron's name to view the record 18:21 owen Do a patron search for the patron you want to be an administrator 18:21 owen aarkerio: Forget about patron categories 18:20 aarkerio I see "Patron Category Administration" and I created a new "Admin" catgory in "Personal" 18:20 owen You're not looking for the "more" menu item at the very top of the page, but the "more" toolbar button which is alongside the "edit," "change password," etc. buttons 18:19 owen aarkerio: Do you have the patron's record open on the screen? 18:18 aarkerio There is no "More->Set Permissions" option in More menu 18:17 ebegin aarkerio, Got it? 18:16 ebegin (in the user account) 18:16 ebegin More » Set Permissions 18:15 aarkerio I created "Admin" categorie but I can not found permission screen 18:15 aarkerio ebegin, No, I mean I want to create new accounts for library staff 18:15 ebegin You can use it to create your first account. And then, as jcamins suggest, create your own user with the superlibrarian permissions 18:14 ebegin the one in the <config> section is your admin username with the <pass> just after. 18:12 ebegin aarkerio, do you have access to your installation directory? If so, look for <user> in the etc/koha-conf.xml file 18:11 jcamins aarkerio: you have to set the permissions. 18:10 briceSanc si i continue to search... 18:10 aarkerio there is no "Admin" patron? 18:10 briceSanc jcamins, i still importing authorities and -match does work on my script. 18:10 owen The type of patron doesn't matter, only the permissions 18:10 aarkerio I created a Personal->Staff user but I get Error: Unauthorized user 18:10 owen Add a new patron and and change their permissions 18:09 aarkerio hi! how can add a new "admin" user ? 18:05 jcamins Unless you're still importing authorities, in which case I have no idea how to do it. 18:04 jcamins briceSanc: I could not get -match to work for me. Probably you want to use the stage_biblios_file.pl and commit_biblios_file.pl scripts. 18:02 briceSanc someone could help with the script bulkmarcimport.pl and the option -match ? 17:48 cait it definitely sounds like a bug 17:43 jcamins Hm. I think this might be a bug. When I duplicate a 773 field, and try to add a subfield 'g' to the field I just created, it adds a subfield g to the original 773 field. 17:28 indradg_ going to test it now 17:27 indradg_ owen, saw your patch 17:27 owen Hi 17:27 indradg_ owen, ping 16:55 briceSanc ;) 16:55 briceSanc ok 16:54 jcamins briceSanc: I've never tried importing authority records, so I'm not sure. 16:54 briceSanc jcamins, they take place in import_records table ? 16:49 jcamins briceSanc: Zebra extracts authority data from the Koha database. 16:47 JeremyLC find . -type f -exec grep -Hi "#$%^" "{}" \; 16:46 briceSanc ? 16:46 briceSanc do you know if authorities are import in Koha-DB or Zebra-DB 16:44 * wizzyrea giggles 16:44 * collum now wants to do a recursive grep for dirty words 16:43 cait :) 16:43 cfouts I can't even type that without gritting my teeth in sympathy 16:41 owen Who else but a nerd would get enraged so? :) 16:40 wizzyrea nerd rage! 16:40 wizzyrea lol! 16:40 jcamins Wow. 16:38 owen Hmm... interesting function name in the javascript calendar library we're using, "continuation_for_the_fucking_khtml_browser" 16:30 OpenUser hi 16:29 cait hi #koha 16:23 OpenUser 3.06 16:23 wizzyrea what did you upgrade to? 16:23 OpenUser I did try looking but can't see one! 16:23 wizzyrea perhaps there is a syspref? 16:23 OpenUser Sorry,. in the STATUS row 16:23 OpenUser Good Afternoon. "Checked out to" on the Holding screen. Does anyone know why this would dissappear when I upgrade Koha and how I might get it back? 15:36 wasabi its worth looking at to see how someone else does an acq. workflow 15:36 wasabi sure, i agree ;) 15:35 jcamins wasabi: I'm not sure those two things can be counted against it too harshly. After all, if you are an ILLIAD customer who needs to do whatever it does on Windows, why should you be expected to develop something cross-platform. 15:34 wasabi still looks interesting tho 15:32 wasabi ...and a current OCLC-iliad account? 15:30 wasabi looks like GIST runs on win-fail.. :/ 15:29 jcamins Yep. That's where I downloaded it from. 15:29 wasabi or is that req. just for 'GIST for ILLiad Webpages' 15:28 wasabi http://toolkit.idsproject.org/doku.php?id=wiki:gist 15:28 wasabi GIST -> 'Access to your ILLiad web server (written on .net framework, so GIST will work for OCLC hosted sites)' 15:28 briceSanc thank you 15:28 owen From where? 15:28 jcamins owen: I downloaded the source. 15:28 briceSanc no problems 15:27 * owen is not an actual authorities user, just plays one when testing 15:27 briceSanc ok 15:27 owen Sorry briceSanc, I've only run tests. I don't have experience with duplicates 15:27 briceSanc and how you manage duplicates ? 15:26 owen I've used bulkmarcimport to import authorities successfully 15:26 owen briceSanc: I think bulkmarcimport. I'm not sure bulkauthimport works if I remember correctly 15:25 owen jcamins: Did you see a reference to CC? 15:23 briceSanc for koha 3.2beta 15:23 briceSanc what is the best Authorities script to import marc records : bulkauthimport.pl or bulkmarcimport.pl ? 15:23 jcamins Sorry, I was thinking of yast. 15:21 jcamins Also, aren't you not supposed to use CC for source code? 15:19 jcamins Isn't gist the name of a Linux installer stack? 15:19 owen No mention that it's Windows-only. No mention of version control 15:17 owen Another questionable "open source" label? http://www.librarytechnology.org/ltg-displaytext.pl?RC=15003 15:16 kf so time to leave and go home - bye all :) 15:16 kf 5:24 15:15 kf 5 pm 15:15 kf yep 15:14 owen Almost evening kf? :) 15:14 kf not almost :) 15:14 collum Good Morning, almost afternoon, kf. 15:10 kf hi collum 15:05 collum Hi owen 15:04 owen Hi collum 14:20 * magnus signs off before blood preassure starts to rise... ;-) 14:20 magnus wasabi: RDA sounds like the worst kind of design-by-committee... 14:15 wasabi (that's how it was explained to me - by an v. experienced cataloger ) 14:15 briceSanc hi all ! 14:14 wasabi it sounded like the RDA-spec team still had doubts to whether the final part was even do-able 14:12 wasabi someone described RDA to me recently, saying the final (and most difficult) part of the spec was incomplete... 14:11 wasabi yes please! 14:11 wasabi cataloguing using them correctly, and coding to handle them correctly in the marc-editor is really difficult 14:11 magnus yep, time to put a lot of this tech out of it's suffering and start using modern tools/formats etc! :-) 14:09 wasabi lol, the marc spec's are so crazy... - the 'identifiers' especially 14:06 greenmang magnus: thanks a lot :) 14:06 magnus i don't know how i would live without it... ;-) 14:05 wasabi nice magnus - i dont think ive every seen that BIB-1 doc before 14:00 magnus one of those areas where library data gets really obscure... 13:59 magnus greenmang: http://www.loc.gov/z3950/agency/bib1.html 13:58 magnus greenmang: http://www.loc.gov/z3950/agency/defns/bib1.html 13:54 greenmang i just found that @attr 1=7 is used for ISBN number... but why 7 is used for ISBN or why 4 is used for Book Title or 1003 for Author name? is it a standard? where can I find it? 13:52 greenmang hello friends... http://zoom.z3950.org/bind/perl/ this site lists a perl binding for searching LoC online catalogue, can anybody tell me what does "@attr 1=7" means? 13:33 kf sekjal: I am sure others are interested too. I think there are more libraries with links for catalog enrichment, not only online ressources 13:33 sekjal jwagner: as I recall, that's the way mine displays, as well 13:33 jwagner The workaround I figured out was to put hardcopy & URL availability on separate lines 13:32 jwagner kf, was off on another screen, just saw this. sekjal, how does your fix work? 13:30 sekjal I'm glad it's something other folks are interested in; I'd whipped it up as an XSLT customization, and wasn't sure it would be universal enough to fold into Koha 13:30 kf sekjal: thx :) 13:30 kf catalog enrichment from our union catalog 13:29 kf we have a lot of urls in the record, urls to covers, reviews and tocs 13:29 sekjal kf: I'm doing some training today, but I'll have it ported over very soon. 13:29 kf sekjal: you would make me really happy - in fact it's the third of our three libraries complaining about that ... 13:28 sekjal just need to rebase it to the latest master (it's a few revisions back) 13:28 sekjal kf: I've got a patch for that 13:28 munin 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=4385 enhancement, P5, ---, oleonard, NEW, With XSLT on, results list doesn't show both hardcopy and URL availability 13:28 kf jwagner: I have a library comlaining about bug 4385 - any news there? 13:07 magnus g'day jcamins 13:04 kf hi jcamins 13:03 owen Hi jcamins 12:57 jcamins Good morning, #koha 12:47 magnus schuster: good for you ;-) 12:46 schuster wish I could join you but have 2 presentations Wednesday that I must get done!! and our office is under renovation so generally people can't find me anyway! 12:43 kf lol 12:43 magnus jwagner: even better 12:42 magnus kf: cool! 12:42 jwagner We have a nice big table in our conference room -- plenty of space for hiding :-) 12:42 kf magnus: we can use my coworkers desk too, enough room for 4 people 12:42 * jwagner will bring chocolate :-) 12:42 kf cookies... *sighs happily* 12:40 * jwagner proposes a group Monday hideout 12:38 magnus can i come too? 12:37 * druthb joins kf and jwagner, and brings cookies. 12:36 * jwagner joins kf 12:24 * kf goes and hides under her desk 12:24 kf it's monday... 12:24 kf so if the box shows I have no idea... just thinking loud. 12:24 kf you don't see information about waiting reserves for the borrower or open fines, you have to open the account for that information 12:23 kf at check-in 12:23 kf but perhaps hlt has some more features 12:23 owen ? 12:23 kf i think you only see if items were overdue 12:23 kf hm you never see if there are waiting reserves for the borrower (although this would be nice) and fines 12:22 owen I guess I'll reply and ask 12:22 owen It does 12:22 kf never worked with chrome, but that's what I thought 12:21 kf the message box 12:21 kf perhaps that the message does not come up? 12:21 owen Does anyone know what Jo meant when she said on the list "Chrome interface does not 'show' reserves when items are being checked in" 12:19 magnus hiya druthb, owen et al 12:17 kf hi druthb and owen :) 12:04 owen Hi everyone 12:04 druthb howdy, #koha. :) 12:04 jwagner or at the root level 12:03 magnus and there is supposed to be a backup somewhere 12:02 magnus thanks! at least it wasn't "rm -r *" 12:02 * jwagner sends much sympathy to magnus -- been there, done that... 11:59 * magnus did "rm *" in the wrong directory earlier today... 11:49 jwagner paul_p, I love my job, but I don't like Mondays.... 11:48 kf suddenly appearing migration problems, not noticed for months (missing items) or such things 11:48 kf paul_p: I love my work too, but on mondays strange things tend to happen 11:46 paul_p kf & jwagner : does it mean you're not happy to go to work every day ?
