| 11:34 | hdl | kados ??? |
| 11:34 | kados | yo |
| 11:34 | hdl | Have you solved you pb ? |
| 11:34 | kados | not yet |
| 11:35 | didn't get a chance to test with default templates yet | |
| 11:35 | could do that today since it's an american holiday | |
| 11:35 | hdl | Do you have a koha logo in vector format ? |
| 11:35 | kados | vector format? |
| 11:35 | hdl | svg or else. |
| 11:35 | kados | hmm ... don't think so |
| 11:36 | but I think rach posted it somewhere | |
| 11:36 | hdl | opposed to bitmap. |
| 11:36 | Rach must be sleeping.* | |
| 11:36 | kados | yep :-) |
| 11:36 | hdl | Is there a way to know where before tonight 16h ? |
| 11:37 | half an hour ? | |
| 11:39 | kados | hmm ... |
| 11:39 | have you tried google images? :-) | |
| 11:41 | hmm, serials seem to work with default templates | |
| 11:42 | so now I get to bug owen :-) | |
| 11:43 | hdl: I'm still a bit confused ... why must I select 1/month even if there are only 10 issues per year? | |
| 11:43 | hdl: and what does 'beginning date' mean? | |
| 11:43 | hdl: can I recieve issues for subscriptions that started many months ago? | |
| 11:43 | hdl | date of begining of subscription and count. |
| 11:44 | You guessed baddly right. | |
| 11:44 | kados | hdl: ? |
| 11:44 | hdl | Yes. |
| 11:45 | kados | if I specify beginning date as 11/01/2004 I still only see one issue to recieve |
| 11:45 | I don't understand your answers :-) | |
| 11:46 | hdl | You always see the next issue to be received and not as many as should have been received. |
| 11:46 | kados | so there is no way to describe previous issues? |
| 11:47 | hdl | What do you mean ??? |
| 11:47 | kados | suppose I have a subscription that I started in 2004 |
| 11:47 | then I switch to Koha | |
| 11:48 | and I want to keep track of my subscription in Koha | |
| 11:48 | there are several issues I'm still missing, say the Jan and Feb issues | |
| 11:48 | how do I set that up ? | |
| 11:49 | also, suppose there are 10 issues per year, but not necessary one per month ... do I need to specify 1/month? or how should I specify it? | |

| 18:13 | oday | howdy |
| 18:14 | chris and kados | |
| 18:15 | anyone here.. | |
| 18:15 | kados | oday: hey there |
| 18:15 | oday | hello sorry was other system was acting up |
| 18:15 | kados | no prob |
| 18:16 | oday | since i am going to run this under windows |
| 18:16 | what are the best specs for the server? | |
| 18:16 | kados | um ... well dunno |
| 18:16 | I don't user windows :-) | |
| 18:17 | also don't support windows kohas | |
| 18:17 | not sure there is any commerical support available for kohawin32 | |
| 18:17 | chris | id rate ram more important than cpu clock speed |
| 18:18 | and id do that for any web application | |
| 18:18 | but thats about the limit of what i know for windows | |
| 18:18 | oday | so a 1gig is enough? |
| 18:18 | kados | oday: how many records you got? |
| 18:18 | chris | how many books? at a guess? |
| 18:18 | < 20,000 ? | |
| 18:18 | oday | way less |
| 18:18 | i dont think our library can handle that | |
| 18:18 | kados | 1 gig's fine then I'd say |
| 18:18 | chris | yep |
| 18:19 | oday | maybe 2000 books by the year 2010 |
| 18:19 | lol - i know its sad | |
| 18:19 | chris | how many students? |
| 18:19 | oday | 172 |
| 18:19 | chris | that'd be fine |
| 18:19 | oday | suitable to become a school of 300 |
| 18:20 | if i only want access to the library on the local level | |
| 18:20 | i dont need to port forward, corect? | |
| 18:21 | chris | shouldnt need to no |
| 18:22 | oday | do you a software by the name of xampp? |
| 18:23 | http://www.apachefriends.org/e[…]ampp-windows.html | |
| 18:23 | chris | hmm |
| 18:24 | kados | bbiab |
| 18:24 | oday | i highly recommend your staff to integrate xampp with your software |
| 18:24 | its makes seems so much easier | |
| 18:25 | when xampp install apache, mysql,php,openssl all in package | |
| 18:25 | chris | right |
| 18:25 | does it install perl? | |
| 18:26 | oday | here is the thing i realy dont know |
| 18:26 | chris | :) |
| 18:26 | oday | on the site it says 'With the new Apache 2.0.55, we build a new Perl-Addon for XAMPP 1.5.0 also.' |
| 18:26 | chris | right |
| 18:27 | sounds like mod_perl | |
| 18:27 | we dont really develop for windows, or have the skills to | |
| 18:27 | but rob has ported koha to windows (he runs the koha on windows site) | |
| 18:28 | it might be worth asking about xampp on the koha-win32 list | |
| 18:28 | http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=16466 | |
| 18:29 | brb, gotta get coffee | |
| 18:30 | oday | how can add urself |
| 18:30 | i cant see it anywhere | |
| 18:32 | found it nevermind | |
| 18:33 | chris | back |
| 18:33 | so its thanksgiving day today for you isnt it oday? | |
| 18:34 | oday | yes it is |
| 18:35 | i personally dont beleive in it but yes many continue this tradition | |
| 18:36 | chris | i liked it when i was visiting .. but then i just liked eating a lot of food and watching a football game :-) |
| 18:37 | even though i still dont fully understand the rules :) | |
| 18:37 | oday | hahaha this is what i mean |
| 18:37 | my religion teaches me to be thankful everyday | |
| 18:37 | not only on that day | |
| 18:37 | chris | right |
| 18:38 | oday | when i upload the MARC database |
| 18:39 | does it have to be from the host's pc? | |
| 18:39 | chris | i think so |
| 18:39 | if you want to use the bulkmarcimport.pl script then yes it will be | |
| 20:37 | oday | kados, hey there..sory to bother, but is there a newbie guide to koha? |
| 20:40 | anyone care to share? | |
| 20:42 | russ | hi oday - you looking for an install and setup guide or a how to use it guide? |
| 20:43 | have you checked out www.kohadocs.org ? | |
| 20:46 | oday | yes i have went there already |
| 20:46 | but chris earlier showed me a newbie guide | |
| 20:48 | russ | and you need that link again? |
| 20:49 | something i find useful are the logs for this channel | |
| 20:51 | oday | yes please i need that link |
| 20:52 | russ | ok 2 secs |
| 20:52 | i thought i made a link to logbot on this page http://www.koha.org/community/irc.html | |
| 20:53 | but it obviously not | |
| 20:53 | oday | logbot |
| 20:53 | ahh | |
| 20:53 | chris | www.koha.org/irc/ will get you to the logs |
| 20:54 | the newbie guide is on the kohadocs.org site oday | |
| 20:55 | oday | thanks chris |
| 20:55 | i got it | |
| 20:55 | and you to russ | |
| 20:58 | one thing | |
| 20:58 | does koha print when books are due for example | |
| 20:58 | or a receipt in general? | |
| 20:59 | rach | I suspect the answer is "that depends" |
| 21:00 | oday | elaborate please |
| 21:01 | rach | there isn't a nice interface to setup what goes to the printer yet in Koha, so *I think* that the ones that we do will be printing out what books you've taken out, and when they are due - but I'm not sure wether that is what is generally printed |
| 21:02 | so for the libraries katipo works with, I can confidently say "yes", but I know that we probably go and do setup for those sorts of thing per library | |
| 21:02 | so I'm not sure "out of the box" what you get | |
| 21:03 | can you refine your question? | |
| 21:03 | for whom are you wanting to know if koha prints when books are due? for the borrower at the issues desk? | |
| 21:04 | for the librarian as an overdues list? | |
| 21:04 | oday | the first |
| 21:04 | for the person that checks out the book | |
| 21:04 | rach | how much tech clue can I assume you have? |
| 21:06 | oday | well i am computer literate |
| 21:06 | rach | Yes: the libraries that we (Katipo) work with have slip printers at the issues desk, and koha automatically prints out a slip for the borrower |
| 21:07 | BUT - what I don't know is wether that is a default setting in Koha when you install it - or wether you need to do something behind the scenes to get it going | |
| 21:08 | so I'm sure that the scripts to do it are in Koha, but I believe there is a bit of sorting out print cues etc to make it happen, and it may be that you need to use a particular set of templates and other settings to make it work | |
| 21:09 | so: functionatlity is in there, but may not be "obvious" if you're not able to look behind the scenes | |
| 21:11 | OR it may just work for you if you set up your network printing properly | |
| 21:18 | oday | okay i am satisfied with the answer |
| 21:18 | when i get to install it then i can go to details like htis | |
| 21:18 | *this | |
| 21:20 | rach | well yep - so it's a bit of a hard one to answer, I would think just a straight "yes" but just not quite sure |
| 21:22 | oday | i would want to test it out by installing it on my site |
| 21:22 | but i dont know if godaddy.com has perl installed | |
| 21:26 | ^godaddy.com is my host | |
| 05:23 | paul | hello world |
| 05:32 | rach | hi paul |
| 05:32 | paul | hello rachel. |
| 05:33 | (answering an RFP today) | |
| 05:33 | rach | very good |
| 05:33 | paul | (for CNRS archeology network) |
| 05:34 | rach | so a private library? |
| 05:34 | paul | don't you know what is CNRS ? |
| 05:35 | it's the public research here in France | |
| 05:35 | (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) | |
| 05:35 | so not really private ;-) | |
| 05:35 | rach | ah very cool |
| 05:36 | paul | (in France, you must know that except for some religious libraries, libraries are public 99%) |
| 05:36 | rach | really - you must have corporate libraries as well though? |
| 05:36 | so companies who have their own library? | |
| 05:36 | paul | right. but we usually don't call that libraries. |
| 05:36 | rach | ah a very good job to get that one then |
| 05:36 | paul | we call that "centres de documentation" |
| 05:37 | rach | ahh, a much more precise language :-) |
| 05:37 | English can be so lazy | |
| 05:39 | that would be a great job to get |
