| 12:15 | martinmorris_ | hello, I half asked this a little while ago and people weren't sure - how can I set up "see also" references in my koha catalogue? (if I can at all?) |
| 12:34 | paul | hi martinmorris_ : the answer or your question is in framework parameters |
| 12:34 | martinmorris_ | the biblio framework? |
| 12:37 | kados | morning martinmorris, jaron ... afternoon paul |
| 12:37 | martinmorris | hello kados |
| 12:38 | kados | martinmorris: you need to set up authorities and in your biblio framework, link a given field to an authority type |
| 12:38 | martinmorris | right, i've been doing that |
| 12:38 | and the authority has other names for that author, so any search under those other names should work? | |
| 12:38 | kados | yep |
| 12:38 | martinmorris | fair enough |
| 12:39 | kados | I'm not sure if by default every author search will do an authority search, that might be something you'll have to customize in the template |
| 12:39 | jaron | hello, martinmorris, kados |
| 12:39 | martinmorris | hello jaron :) |
| 12:40 | ah, well if it doesn't do that search I'd have no idea how to customise it so that may have to wait :) | |
| 12:42 | kados | so paul_ ... chris will arrive tomorrow morning US time |
| 12:43 | paul_: do you want to coordinate a meeting with chris, hdl, you, ryan and I (and any other dev that wants)? | |
| 12:43 | chris will be here for two weeks and I want to focus our energy on 3.0 | |
| 12:47 | paul | kados : i'm OK, but not before 5PM (paris, GMT+2) : for 2 weeks i have 2 "students" from new caledonia |
| 12:47 | (the llargest caledonian libraries moves to Koha) | |
| 12:48 | (the llargest caledonian library moves to Koha) | |
| 12:48 | kados | cool |
| 12:56 | martinmorris | just to say that author searches don't appear to do authority searches, in answer to what you were wondering earlier kados |
| 12:56 | would that be a modification to search.pl? | |
| 13:19 | kados | martinmorris: see if your author links on a detail page do an authorities search |
| 13:19 | martinmorris | sorry what do you mean? |
| 13:19 | being a bit dense here! | |
| 13:19 | kados | go to a detail page |
| 13:19 | for one of your records | |
| 13:19 | and click on the author link | |
| 13:20 | see if it does an authority search or a bib search | |
| 13:20 | martinmorris | ah OK hold on |
| 13:21 | by the detail page you mean the MARC view? | |
| 13:21 | there's an Auth button next to the author's name | |
| 13:21 | 100$a | |
| 13:22 | when i click on that button it goes to the detailed view of the authority | |
| 13:22 | kados | not the MARC view |
| 13:22 | martinmorris | ah OK... |
| 13:22 | the brief display which has the author's name as a hyperlink? | |
| 13:22 | kados | yep |
| 13:23 | martinmorris | clicking on that seems to do a search of biblios |
| 13:23 | kados | there may be a syspref for changing that |
| 13:24 | ahh | |
| 13:24 | martinmorris | ...? |
| 13:24 | kados | Disable_Dictionary |
| 13:24 | in the OPAC tab | |
| 13:24 | martinmorris | ah, OK |
| 13:24 | kados | try flipping that switch to off |
| 13:24 | you should get a new 'authoritiy headings search' in opac-main when you do that | |
| 13:25 | martinmorris | it's already set to 'no' |
| 13:25 | kados | which can give you some hints on how to do a name authority search |
| 13:25 | http://opac.liblime.com/cgi-bin/koha/opac-main.pl | |
| 13:25 | so see the 'Authorities Headings Search'? | |
| 13:25 | martinmorris | yes, I get that |
| 13:25 | kados | cool |
| 13:25 | so that's how you do an authorities search :-) | |
| 13:25 | martinmorris | but i was wondering if i could just type in the pseudonym in the intranet catalog search button |
| 13:25 | kados | take a look at that form |
| 13:26 | martinmorris | ok |
| 13:26 | kados | if you look at the 'Anywhere' 'contains' line, that'll be the one you want |
| 13:26 | and restrict to Personal Name | |
| 13:26 | man, this stuff is so much easier in 3.0 it's not funny | |
| 13:27 | martinmorris | fair enough - i take it that's not due for a while though? |
| 13:27 | kados | september I hope |
| 13:27 | we'll see how the next two weeks go | |
| 13:27 | martinmorris | ooh, that soon |
| 13:27 | kados | we've been overwhelmed with new development work |
| 13:28 | so working on the release has been really hard to prioritize | |
| 13:28 | martinmorris | well i'm no developer but i used to do lots of documentation - let me know if I can help |
| 13:28 | kados | sweet, much appreciated |
| 13:28 | martinmorris | np |
| 13:28 | kados | I'll be sending a mail out tomorrow |
| 13:28 | about our schedule for the next two weeks | |
| 13:28 | martinmorris | ok |
| 13:29 | kados | chris is coming to the US, and ryan and I have cleared our plates so we can focus on the release and other 3.0ish stuff |
| 13:29 | martinmorris | well good luck to you |
| 13:30 | i've been very impressed with it so far | |
| 13:30 | and so is our honorary librarian | |
| 13:30 | kados | excellent |
| 15:35 | jkimilu | hi! I'm trying to migrat |
| 15:35 | e my library to koha | |
| 15:36 | I was wondering how does one generate patron barcodes | |
| 20:20 | martinmorris | Hello |
| 20:20 | is there a way of undeleting a marc record i've nuked by mistake? | |
| 20:21 | i know there's a deleted MARC table in the database | |
| 20:28 | owen | martinmorris: I don't think there's an automated way to do it |
| 20:28 | martinmorris | fair enough, it was easy to reenter, i just wondered |
| 20:32 | jaron | martinmorris: I've gotten in the habit of saving lots of backups and each time I work exporting all the MARC records to file. |
| 20:33 | martinmorris | that's what i normally do, but this was only one record so it wasn't an urgent thing :) |
| 21:18 | is there somewhere that keeps archive of conversations on here? | |
| 21:18 | i'm trying to find the answer to a problem i was helped with before :) | |
| 21:28 | jaron | http://koha.org/cgi-bin/logs.pl |
