| 12:19 | paul | hello kados |
| 12:19 | seems you're at office now, as you write mails ;-) | |
| 12:25 | kados | hi paul |
| 12:25 | :-) | |
| 12:25 | yes, I'm at the office, and it's a slow monday for once | |
| 12:25 | (probably librarians are catching up after the holiday :-)) | |
| 12:25 | paul | holiday ? |
| 12:26 | kados | thanksgiving |
| 12:27 | paul | what do you (kados) eat for thanksgiving ? |
| 12:28 | really ? i've read somewhere that some fast-food just produced a new hamburger, called "heart break ham", with 8000 calories in just 1 hamburger !!! | |
| 12:28 | they are crazy... | |
| 12:28 | kados | wow |
| 12:29 | paul | (it was in US, of course, but can't remember where exactly) |
| 12:30 | kados : toins ask me if thanksgiving is a christian holiday ? I don't think, but you'll have the correct answer | |
| 12:31 | owen | It's origins are technically Christian, but it's now non-denominational. |
| 12:32 | (And: the Quadruple Bypass Burger: http://www.thesun.co.uk/articl[…]06510748,00.html) | |
| 12:34 | paul | hi owen |
| 12:34 | owen | Hi paul |
| 12:42 | Thanksgiving is a very carnivorous holiday, so vegetarians may feel left out of the traditional festivities. | |
| 12:55 | hdl | Traditional dish is the turkey isn't it ? |
| 12:57 | owen | Yes |
| 12:57 | hdl | was it not for the first pilgrims to Thanks Lord for their arrival on this new ground ? |
| 12:58 | (There is/was... ( 10years ago ) a living museum near Boston very interesting... | |
| 13:00 | owen | http://www.plimoth.org/visit/what/ or something similar |
| 13:01 | hdl | yea. |
| 13:04 | toins : http://www.pilgrimhall.org/ThanxProc2000.htm for the latest GW Bush proclamation of Thx Giving... | |
| 13:33 | paul | kados : about popularity, a quick question : |
| 13:33 | melm 952$s popularity means it's related to items. | |
| 13:33 | shouldn't it be related to sum(all items of this biblio) ? | |
| 13:46 | btoumi | kados are u around? |
| 13:50 | kados | hi btoumi |
| 13:51 | paul: yes, ideally | |
| 13:51 | paul: but I didn't have time | |
| 13:51 | btoumi | how are u kados |
| 13:51 | kados | good, and you>? |
| 13:52 | btoumi | same for me , can u tell me where do u find some french ? perhaps we forget |
| 13:52 | paul | I just wrote a small script for OPAC, showing books by popularity. It does not rely on zebra, and the patron can select 1 branch only, 1 itemtype only, 3/6/12 months acquisitions only |
| 13:53 | kados | btoumi: when adding a member, the 'Mr., Mrs.' salutation titles |
| 13:53 | paul: cool | |
| 13:53 | btoumi | kados right we forget to change |
| 13:53 | i will change on cvs | |
| 13:56 | and commit kados : | |
| 13:57 | paul | btoumi : probably a good candidate for a systempref... |
| 13:58 | (because even in french, christian libraries, for exemple, will be happy to add "Father", "Sister"... and research libraries will add "Prof."...) | |
| 13:58 | not only in french probably ;-) | |
| 13:59 | btoumi | sure : borrowerstype for examples |
| 14:00 | paul | BorrowersTitle would be better |
| 14:00 | BorrowersTitles being the best ;) | |
| 14:01 | btoumi | yes not type |
| 14:15 | kados | IMO it would even be better to have a new table |
| 14:16 | for SaultationTitle | |
| 14:16 | so a library can define for themselves what are approapriate values | |
| 14:19 | paul | kados: why do we need a table ? A systempref is enough. |
| 14:19 | I mean, it contains the list of title separated by commas, and a split builds the array, for the template. | |
| 14:19 | btoumi: you understood what i explained here, or planned to have a systempref just to choose between french & english titles ? | |
| 14:21 | btoumi | paul : a systeme preference to have french title or english title |
| 14:22 | kados | paul: a syspref is slower to read because it must be parsed in perl as well, whereas a read from mysql is quite fast ... but either way it's OK |
| 14:22 | paul | BorrowersTitles being a list of avaialble titles for the library : M,Mme,Mlle,Docteur |
| 14:22 | kados | syspref is easier for the library to understand how to set up also |
| 14:22 | paul | i don't think splitting a perl systempref is slower than reading X lines from mySQL |
| 14:22 | kados | :-) |
| 14:22 | paul | right. |
| 14:22 | (with mod_perl, i'm sure it's faster even) | |
| 14:23 | kados | (true) |
| 14:23 | btoumi | paul: it's a system preference to record the title u want |
| 14:24 | paul | yep |
| 18:10 | owen | Anyone know why virtual shelves store things by itemnumber rather than biblionumber? |
| 18:12 | chris | its a good question |
| 18:12 | i cant think of any reason why ... other than perhaps they wanted only a certain type/format | |
| 18:12 | altho, when you view it it just shows the biblio anyway | |
| 18:13 | nope, cant think why its done that way | |
| 18:13 | owen | I've seen a lot of virtual shelves with blank entries, and I'm wondering if they're due to items having been deleted since being added to a virtual shelf. |
| 18:15 | chris | yeah, that certainly sounds plausible |
| 18:15 | owen | The OPAC seems to be smart enough not to display the blank entries, but not the intranet |
| 18:16 | chris | wonder if thats just a template thing? .. i guess you want them to display on the intranet .. but with some way to remove them |
| 18:16 | so you can clean up | |
| 18:17 | owen | Except that it looks like deletions work via itemnumber (since there's no other primary key available) |
| 18:18 | chris | right |
| 18:19 | itd be good if on the intranet, it showed the itemnumbers for the blank ones, then you could check the deleteditems table, to find out what they were maybe | |
| 18:25 | owen | I don't find the item numbers in our deleteditems table in the case that I examined, but I wonder if our deleteditems data is accurate...I seem to recall a bug we encountered in that department. |
