| 13:21 | owen | aw man, how come I wasn't "notably missing?" :( |
| 10:46 | martinmorris | Hello all, having a problem with Z3950 searches in my new installation, anybody around who could advise? |
| 10:46 | chris | hi martin .. i could try |
| 10:46 | martinmorris | thank you |
| 10:46 | chris | (but im going to need to go to bed soon) |
| 10:47 | martinmorris | i keep forgetting the time difference, it's 1147 here :) |
| 10:47 | basically, i do the search, blank page comes up, nothing happens | |
| 10:47 | chris | so you have 15 mins :-) (10.47pm here) |
| 10:47 | ahh i think ive heard this one before | |
| 10:47 | which template set are you using, the default ones or the npl one? | |
| 10:47 | martinmorris | the default ones i believe |
| 10:48 | the one that comes with the installation | |
| 10:48 | i get a page that search "Search on" and a button underneath "Search internet" | |
| 10:48 | chris | can you try changing to the npl ones and check if it works if so it is the problem i was thinking of |
| 10:48 | martinmorris | i press that button, it goes away and thinks for a few seconds, blank page |
| 10:48 | ok, will do | |
| 10:48 | chris | (you can change it in the systempreferences) |
| 10:49 | martinmorris | which is different from system parameters? |
| 10:50 | it's OK found it | |
| 10:50 | chris | cool |
| 10:50 | martinmorris | the npl template is very plain, just black and white basically, is that right? |
| 10:51 | chris | without any css yep .. you can define in systempreferences where the css files live too |
| 10:51 | martinmorris | fair enough |
| 10:52 | that is a little different | |
| 10:52 | i now get "Select Search Libraries" | |
| 10:52 | underneath i have two headings "Library" and "Select" | |
| 10:52 | then the button | |
| 10:52 | do I have to define some libraries to search? | |
| 10:52 | chris | and that should be the z3950 servers you have defined? |
| 10:52 | ah ha | |
| 10:52 | yep | |
| 10:52 | martinmorris | that would be the answer! |
| 10:52 | now, one other question | |
| 10:52 | when i define them - does it matter what sort of MARC they use to reply in | |
| 10:53 | can i use library of congress, new zealand libraries, the british library and so on....? | |
| 10:53 | chris | in theory :) |
| 10:53 | but i think that if you chose the MARC21 framework when you installed Koha | |
| 10:53 | martinmorris | (I did choose marc21) |
| 10:54 | chris | you will want to go for z3950 servers that return MARC21 |
| 10:54 | martinmorris | such as library of congress? |
| 10:54 | chris | (which i think all three do, certainly LOC and NZ do) |
| 10:54 | martinmorris | i think so too |
| 10:54 | thanks | |
| 10:54 | final question - are there some nice css files out there i can use for my intranet? | |
| 10:55 | chris | there should be some that came with it, lemme pull up a koha running npl templates and find what i have defined |
| 10:55 | martinmorris | thank you |
| 10:57 | chris | ok |
| 10:57 | intranetcolorstylesheet | |
| 10:57 | for that one | |
| 10:57 | try colors.css | |
| 10:57 | (made by an american obviously :)) | |
| 10:58 | then the menu done the side should change to a nicer looking one | |
| 10:58 | martinmorris | ill take a quick look thanks |
| 10:59 | oh that's significantly better thank you | |
| 10:59 | i take it if i poke around i'll see other style sheets | |
| 11:00 | it's your bedtime, thanks for your help :) | |
| 11:00 | chris | cool that file lives in koha/intranet/htdocs/intranet-tmpl/npl/en/includes/ |
| 11:00 | there may be other ones in there .. | |
| 11:00 | take a look around have a play ;) | |
| 11:01 | martinmorris | thank you :) |
| 11:01 | chris | and now ill go to bed and hopefully my son will too :) |
| 11:01 | (7 months old and having a grumpy night) | |
| 11:01 | good luck | |
| 11:02 | martinmorris | good night :) |
| 11:14 | if anybody else is around, that's all setup and looking better but i notice that koha only seems to support unimarc and usmarc for z39.50 searches - is that changeable? | |
| 11:37 | kados | martinmorris: yes |
| 11:38 | martinmorris: the latest version in CVS should support all available marc types | |
| 11:38 | you can get it from savannah |
