| 13:33 | owen | paul, are you around? |
| 13:33 | paul | yep |
| 13:33 | owen | It looks like our opac searches for isbns aren't working |
| 13:33 | http://66.213.78.101/cgi-bin/k[…]&value=1565922840 | |
| 13:34 | That isbn was cut and pasted from this record: http://66.213.78.101/cgi-bin/k[…]tail.pl?bib=99294 | |
| 13:35 | paul | in the MARC part of the biblio, there is : |
| 13:35 | 1565922840 (pa.) | |
| 13:35 | that's why a = don't work | |
| 13:35 | try a "start" | |
| 13:35 | ;-) | |
| 13:36 | http://66.213.78.101/cgi-bin/k[…]&value=1565922840 | |
| 13:36 | works fine. | |
| 13:36 | owen | Hmm... But isn't it searching biblioitems.isbn rather than the MARC table? |
| 13:36 | paul | no |
| 13:36 | search marc is searching in MARC tables. | |
| 13:37 | it translate biblioitems.isbn into 010$a | |
| 13:37 | owen | Did you say yesterday that you could also specify the tag number instead of saying "biblioitems.isbn"? |
| 13:37 | paul | (note that the start is usually faster than contain, and as fast as =) |
| 13:37 | yes. | |
| 13:37 | say 010a | |
| 13:38 | 020a sorry | |
| 13:38 | http://66.213.78.101/cgi-bin/k[…]&value=1565922840 | |
| 13:39 | owen | Okay, thanks. |
| 13:39 | paul | please |
| 13:39 | owen | Joshua's Amazon work is looking good--did you see the book covers in the search results? Pretty cool. |
| 13:41 | I wonder if it's something like that that is causing my barcode searches to fail in the intranet... | |
| 13:42 | operator=contains should work fine | |
| 13:42 | paul | but it's slower. |
| 13:42 | owen | We could probably even change that to '=' since barcodes are specific |
| 13:42 | paul | do you really plan to add pictures of books to result LIST ? |
| 13:43 | that would query really a lot amazon.com no ? | |
| 13:43 | owen | I don't know...Joshua's just trying things out at this point. I don't know if he's cacheing images or anything. |
| 13:43 | paul | i hope for amazon.com ;-) |
| 13:43 | owen | You're right, though, it could be a lot of transfers. |
| 13:44 | paul | the "search inside" on opac-detail is joshua work ? |
| 13:44 | because the image in opac-detail is not exactly the amazon.com image | |
| 13:45 | owen | I think that for items in Amazon for which they offer the 'search inside' feature they also provide an alternate 'search inside' graphic. |
| 13:47 | paul, I'm trying the barcode search in the intranet, and I can't get it to work with 'contains'. It only works if I change it to '=' or 'start' | |
| 13:48 | paul | and why is it a problem for you ? |
| 13:49 | owen | If it doesn't work for us using the default template, then it might not work for others. |
| 13:50 | paul | enter a bugzilla, and i'll look at it. |
| 13:52 | owen | http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/b[…]ow_bug.cgi?id=853 |
| 13:52 | paul | thanks |
| 13:54 | i must leave. | |
| 15:57 | owen | hi tim |
| 15:57 | tim | hi owen |
| 15:59 | I finally got that server to stop complaining to me yesterday. | |
| 15:59 | Thanks to you and Chris | |
| 16:00 | owen | Good. 2.2 is really a major step forward. |
| 16:11 | tim | I installed 2.0.2. Should I try upgrading it? |
| 16:17 | owen | I can't give you advice on how well upgrades work, but I can tell you that 2.2 works really well. |
| 16:17 | Its searching capabilities are vastly superior. | |
| 16:23 | tim | I don't have any data in this one yet, so I won't be risking that. |
| 16:26 | Yeah. That could be a big help for us people who don't know what we're doing. | |
| 16:33 | owen | the problem with providing patron data is privacy, of course, otherwise we could simply export a section of our database and make it available |
| 16:33 | But the bibliographic data should be pretty easy to come by. | |
| 16:33 | i guess you'd also have to make sure the installation had the same MARC configuration as well | |
| 16:35 | tim | I've gotten pretty far with te patron importing. I'm just messing up on the marc mapping. |
| 16:36 | I'd probably do better if I could figure out how to modify the import script to make some changes for me. | |
| 16:39 | I just started a perl class yesterday to help me with that. | |
| 16:40 | benn taking a class on SQL for about a month. | |
| 16:41 | I learned a lot on my own, but need the extra help to get things done sooner. | |
| 16:50 | owen | Gotta reboot :( |
| 16:54 | tim | Trying to install Net::LDAP |
| 16:54 | Writing Makefile for Net::LDAP | |
| 16:54 | make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. | |
| 16:54 | /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK | |
| 16:55 | Figured I'd try 2.2RC4 |
