| 16:31 | rach | hello |
| 16:31 | tungsten | nice job on the html |
| 16:32 | I'm in the process of updating wik | |
| 16:32 | migration from follet | |
| 16:33 | rach | hmm - which html? |
| 16:33 | it won't have been me :-) | |
| 16:33 | tungsten | I'm not fam with the stntax of how to customize the opac page in 2.0.1 |
| 16:33 | under parameters | |
| 16:34 | rach | ah yep - you can choose a different set of templates |
| 16:34 | I believe | |
| 16:34 | tungsten | no I'm referrring to param settings |
| 16:35 | in 2.01 | |
| 16:36 | I'd like it to read SCES not koha the default | |
| 16:36 | rach | Ah - yes you can do that |
| 16:37 | Administration > system preferences | |
| 16:37 | tungsten | there is a string to define what is it written in? |
| 16:37 | rach | > library name |
| 16:37 | I think is what you want | |
| 16:37 | It's on the page that has most of the preferences on | |
| 16:37 | tungsten | yes but I'm unfam with the syntax |
| 16:38 | rach | ahh i see |
| 16:38 | what is the line of text you want? | |
| 16:38 | tungsten | SCES |
| 16:39 | rach | Just put that in - take out everything else |
| 16:39 | you don't need the <i> or the <b> | |
| 16:39 | tungsten | thanks |
| 16:39 | rach | np |
| 16:39 | sorry I didnt' understand the question | |
| 16:40 | If you don't think it's bold enough. then you can put <b>SCES</b> | |
| 16:42 | :-( no route to host | |
| 17:30 | back again :-) | |
| 17:30 | tungsten | hey you centered it |
| 17:30 | thanks | |
| 20:37 | I have my stuff on the wiki under migration MICROLIF Marc21 852 holdings | |
| 23:45 | kados | hey there |
| 23:45 | what's new? | |
| 23:45 | rach | hi |
| 23:45 | kados | hi rach |
| 23:45 | chris | heya joshua, owen left a note on my blog about talking with you about the project gutenberg stuff |
| 23:45 | rach | how's winter coming along? |
| 23:46 | kados | chris: yea ... we've got some neat ideas |
| 23:46 | rach: not too cold yet ... | |
| 23:46 | rach: how about yours :-) | |
| 23:46 | :-) | |
| 23:46 | rach | um we had a lovely summery day on saturday |
| 23:46 | chris | cool, ill hold off on my idea until i hear yours :-) |
| 23:46 | rach | but it's all gone to custard today :-) |
| 23:47 | rain and wind | |
| 23:47 | chris | (i was gonna grab the xml file of their catalog, and write a script to load it into Koha) |
| 23:47 | kados | chris: right ... have you thought about display at all? |
| 23:48 | and it would be really cool if we could figure a way to associate real items in the catalog with their eb00k equivils | |
| 23:48 | erm sph | |
| 23:48 | oops | |
| 23:48 | chris | yep, that shouldnt be too tricky |
| 23:49 | you can get the title, the author, and the publication date | |
| 23:49 | hmm or maybe just the title and author | |
| 23:50 | and a file number | |
| 23:50 | i was thinking youd parse the gutenberg rdf catalog, and query the database | |
| 23:50 | kados | yea that looks to be the simplest way to approach it |
| 23:50 | chris | with the title and the author |
| 23:51 | then store the gutenberg data as a biblioitem of type web associated to the appropriate biblio | |
| 23:51 | kados | I tried to find some isbns in the records or an isbn->ebook num but to no avail |
| 23:51 | chris | you may want to prompt the user perhaps |
| 23:51 | kados | right |
| 23:52 | chris | it would be pretty darn cool |
| 23:53 | then you could do things like, "sorry all copies of this are currently on loan .. you can read the ebook here though" | |
| 23:53 | kados | yep :-) |
| 23:53 | it'd be nice to find a web-display pdf builder that would allow the document to be read in pdf format | |
| 23:54 | or just some way to convert the xml to pdf format and store it on the server and point the link to that file | |
| 23:54 | chris | yep |
| 23:54 | and the license allows for that too, so thats all good | |
| 23:54 | kados | unless you already know of a good way to do this I'll try to track down something |
| 23:54 | chris | not off the top of my head |
| 23:57 | kados | nonfree: |
| 23:58 | www.altova.com/StyleVision | |
| 00:01 | this looks promising: | |
| 00:01 | http://freshmeat.net/projects/prince/ | |
| 00:01 | Prince is a batch formatter for converting XML into PDF and PostScript by applying Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). It prints any XML document, with special support for XHTML, DocBook, and SVG, which can be used in combination with other XML languages. | |
| 00:02 | chris | woo that does sound promising |
| 00:02 | kados | owen could do our css |
| 00:02 | chris | :) |
| 00:02 | kados | :-) |
| 00:10 | too bad it's proprietary | |
| 00:11 | chris | i think thats gonna be the problems with pdf's |
| 00:11 | since adobe like to patent the world | |
| 00:12 | i wonder if we can run it through openoffice | |
| 00:12 | it can make pdfs | |
| 00:18 | si was just saying that he thinks open office has a programmatic interface that we could perhaps use to automate creating pdfs | |
| 00:19 | kados | cool |
| 00:19 | I'll see if I can find info on it | |
| 00:24 | hmmm ... looks like the actual e-texts aren't in xml ... just the catalog is | |
| 00:24 | chris | right |
| 00:25 | just text eh | |
| 00:25 | kados | yep |
| 00:26 | in openoffice file->autopilot->document converter | |
| 00:26 | it will take text files in | |
| 00:27 | I'm gonna try it out on a gutenberg text ... | |
| 00:28 | chris | plan |
| 00:31 | kados | hmmm this doesn't quite do what I had in mind |
| 00:31 | it's mostly for converting old star office docs into openoffice xml | |
| 00:32 | hmmm ... | |
| 00:32 | chris | theres an export as pdf in the file menu eh? |
| 00:33 | kados | right but it's not good for batch jobs |
| 00:33 | especially on my P1 :-) | |
| 00:34 | chris | yep, si thinks there is some way to script openoffice |
| 00:34 | kados | ooh tha'd be nice |
| 00:35 | chris | which'd be the thing to do, set it up so we can just point it at a directory |
| 00:35 | kados | right |
| 00:35 | si | although I've never played with it |
| 00:35 | kados | do you know where the docs are si? |
| 00:35 | ahh | |
| 00:36 | si | http://udk.openoffice.org/comm[…]e_automation.html |
| 00:43 | kados | thanks ... that guide is pretty windows centric but it links to the StarOffice Programmers Tutorial |
| 00:43 | http://api.openoffice.org/basi[…]rial/tutorial.pdf | |
| 00:43 | looks pretty simple | |
| 00:44 | chris | cool |
| 00:44 | kados | but /me is getting tired and will have to look at that tomorrow ... |
| 00:44 | :-) | |
| 00:44 | chris | :) sleep well |
| 00:44 | kados | thanks ... read you soon. later si thanks again. |
