Okay I will do that. 16:02 Shane-S khall: on the database side...if I need a custom table, is that suggested/doable, or would it be best to store data in a flat file? 16:06 Shane-S khall: P.S. http://bywatersolutions.com/2013/01/23/koha-plugin-system-coming-soon/ what is the future like in 3013!!!, can you tell me the winning lottery number for this week? ;) 16:06 khall heh ; ) 16:07 khall looks like nengard made a typo ; ) 16:07 nengard never ever 16:07 nengard hehe 16:08 nengard fixed 16:11 Shane-S darn it...i wanted lottery #s so I could just call up and pay you guys for the plugin...now I gotta learn ubunut/git/vmware[virtualbox]/perl/javascript (beyond onclick and get elementbyid 16:12 ashimema I love the thinking there Shane-S 16:14 Shane-S oh well time to see how much free ram my macbook pro has...if I can load it with virtualbox/ubunut and maybe finally grasp git to get a development version to break ;) 16:14 kidclamp try kohadevbox Shane-S - simplifies a lot of the setup 16:14 kidclamp ansible branch works very nicely 16:15 kidclamp https://github.com/digibib/kohadevbox/tree/ansible 16:15 Shane-S oh okay, will check it out 16:15 Shane-S ty 16:20 Shane-S hmm reading that.."what you get" seems misleading...unless I am not understanding vagrant right...you have to do the initial OS/VM install first and then install vagrant on that right? 16:23 Shane-S maybe I am not understanding vagrant... 16:24 Shane-S guess I have to try and fail to get that "ah-ha" moment 16:24 * Shane-S is off to see wizard the wonderful wizard of...oh snap I think I broke it 16:26 reiveune bye 16:26 kidclamp Shane-S you need only install vagrant and virtualbox and configure the setup files.

Maybe the archives are missing it 21:33 wizzyrea oh, devel 21:34 eythian Ah 21:37 eythian [off] Does he realise that (IIRC) he's not a koha developer, and so shouldn't be trying to change fundamental development workflows? 21:43 wizzyrea ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 21:46 wizzyrea possibly *the most* appropriate shruggy use ever. 21:49 eythian Heh 21:49 eythian Yes 21:51 wizzyrea also just that whole thing, it's a fundamental lack of understanding about how we do things. 21:52 wizzyrea due to lack of actual participation 22:13 dcook drojf: I pay more than that for my place in Sydney :p 22:14 dcook Not sure about the floor space though... 22:14 dcook Ah, I missed a departure.. 22:15 dcook Hmm my email isn't working.

(9 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/210 22:45 jcamins wizzyrea: duct tape works too. 22:45 dcook Of course "(3" referes to Arabic and $1 is CJK 22:45 dcook jcamins: duct tape? 22:45 wahanui i heard duct tape was versatile. 22:45 jcamins Yeah. 22:45 wizzyrea for keeping cats away 22:46 wizzyrea presumably sticky side up? 22:46 jcamins My cat doesn't like walking on duct tape. 22:46 jcamins No, sticky side down. 22:46 wizzyrea really! 22:46 jcamins Yeah. 22:46 dcook Weird.. 22:46 wizzyrea i can totally see sticky side up 22:46 jcamins He loves packing tape, but won't stand on duct tape. 22:46 wizzyrea was not expecting sticky side down 22:46 jcamins I mean, sticky side down if you're worried about a ceiling cat. 22:47 jcamins I mean, up. 22:47 jcamins Sticky side *up* if your cat is walking on your ceiling. 22:50 * wizzyrea doesn't doubt that myshkin would be odd. 22:50 wizzyrea I seem to recall that he's kind of odd anyway :) 22:50 wizzyrea though I don't remember specifically why I think that 22:53 dcook On an unrelated note, that moment when you can't tell if what you're thinking is very clever or too clever 22:53 dcook "too clever" being a bad idea :p 22:58 pianohacker hehe 22:58 pianohacker I wrote a report like that earlier today 22:58 dcook hehe 22:59 dcook I'm trying to figure out a way of re-writing linkages between 852 and 866 fields for multiple holdings records before merging them into a bibliographic record O_O 22:59 dcook A reliable way of re-writing linkages* 22:59 dcook The hard part is that you want to preserve the current linkages while also adding a unique whole number.. 23:00 pianohacker @marc 866 23:00 huginn` pianohacker: [Described in full under field 866 in the MARC 21 Concise Format for Holdings Data.] (Repeatable) [] 23:00 pianohacker thanks a lot, bot 23:01 pianohacker *blink* this does not make a lot of sense, but I've never worked with MARC21 Holdings 23:01 dcook So I might have 4 holdings records linked to 1 bibliographic record 23:01 dcook And each holdings record can have multiple 852 and 866 23:01 dcook which are also linked differently to each other within that holdings record 23:01 wahanui okay, dcook. 23:01 dcook pianohacker: MARC21 Holdings hurts my brain 23:01 dcook Actually, it wouldn't be bad if Koha supported it 23:01 pianohacker hey, hey now 23:01 dcook Well, supported separate MARC21 Holdings records 23:01 dcook It supports embedded ones 23:02 dcook pianohacker: Actually, I found an old thread where people had talked about supporting MARC21 Holdings back when the switch to MARC was made 23:02 dcook But I think the biggest obstacle was indexing 23:02 dcook Of course, that brings us back to this current issue 23:03 dcook While you could merge your separate records into your bibliographic record for indexing, you'd have issues with display due to those bad linkages 23:03 dcook Unless you weren't using the content from Zebra for display, but yeah... rabbit hole... 23:06 dcook pianohacker: Didn't mean to overwhelm with text :p 23:06 pianohacker I still have to write support for 880 linked fields 23:06 pianohacker and authorities 23:06 wahanui authorities is http://www.loc.gov/marc/uma/index.html 23:06 dcook That would be awesome 23:06 pianohacker this is giving me the heebie-jeebies :) 23:07 dcook The 880 linked fields shouldn't be bad... so long as people entered the data according to spec 23:07 dcook I wish you luck 23:07 dcook Or do you mean support for linking 880 fields with others in Rancor? 23:07 dcook Authorities shouldn't be too bad :p 23:07 dcook But as the person not doing it, I wish you all the luck 23:07 pianohacker (yeah, the latter) My philosophy is that if people catalog wrong, Rancor shouldn't break but it should yell at them 23:08 dcook ^ 23:08 dcook Yeah, MarcEdit broke on me a few times yesterday 23:08 dcook When it really should have just yelled at me 23:08 pianohacker nengard may, uh, have slightly influenced this philosophy :) 23:08 dcook I think the cataloguing discipline has fallen by the wayside in recent years 23:08 pianohacker and authorities... aren't too conceptually difficult but the code is fragile 23:08 dcook And really... it seems like it was always pretty local anyway 23:09 dcook :( 23:09 pianohacker jcamins has dug around in there, he knows 23:09 dcook Yeah, I'm trying to make this OAI harvester as robust as possible.. 23:09 pianohacker he also has this habit of going quiet when I ask about it, for _some_ reason 23:09 dcook hehe 23:09 dcook He's wiser than me 23:09 dcook I see something I've worked on, and I blab way too much 23:10 pianohacker dcook: he's also more physically capable of going quiet ;) 23:10 dcook I was going to say I'm only typing, but I suppose we have spoken in person a bit... :p 23:10 dcook I was actually a very quiet child/preteen :p 23:10 dcook Making up for lost time 23:12 pianohacker same, actually :) 23:25 dcook MARC-- 23:25 dcook I sometimes think the lack of standards being introduced by Linked Data is a bad thing, but sometimes it seems like a great chance to innovate 23:25 dcook And if you can map your own local format to/from a standard format for interchange purposes... 23:26 dcook Although I suppose that's the rub 23:30 dcook Actually, the linking thing... 23:30 dcook If Koha stored holdings records like it stores item records and just adds them at indexing time... 23:31 dcook You could reliably re-calculate linkage numbers I think 23:32 dcook See $8 Sequence Number http://www.loc.gov/marc/holdings/hd852.html 23:32 dcook Of course, different holdings records should be aware of each other according to MARC... 23:33 dcook I sometimes wonder if there has ever been a library system which actually perfectly processed MARC records 23:33 dcook Or anyone who perfectly catalogued them 23:37 dcook Actually, that's interesting... 23:37 dcook We're going to sequence 4 records, but between those 4 records, we only use the numbers 1 and 2 23:40 dcook The documentation doesn't even make sense.. 23:40 dcook "Sequence numbers 1 and 2 provide a display sequence for related holdings records that have identical locations recorded in field 852 subfields $a and $h" 23:40 dcook $a is location but $h is call number.. 23:40 dcook I guess they mean identical call number too? 23:45 chrisvella_ Hi. Does anyone know about auto-complete/search suggestions in Koha? 23:45 chrisvella_ I found a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xGi3NTckxs but no further information.
