12:26 kados morning owen
12:26 paul hello kados
12:26 kados hi paul
12:26 paul & owen
12:28 kados paul: re: 1446 ... very strange you don't have this prob with unimarc, esp since we found the prob and it's in the code!
12:28 paul you're completly right
12:28 kados since there was another bulkmarcimport error
12:28 also
12:29 it's a clear indication to us that 3.0 w/kohastructure.sql is != to what you use with updatedatabase
12:30 paul: also, I don't think it's a good idea to omit the nozebra table
12:31 paul: and create/populate it 'on the fly'
12:31 paul (on phone)
12:31 owen Hi guys
12:31 kados hiya owen
12:31 owen Busy weekend, hunh? 8:30 AM Monday and I"m already behind!
12:31 kados :-)
12:31 yea, we did some testing this weekend
12:32 this week should be a busy one on #koha, koha-devel and git
12:41 paul (back)
12:42 kados : OK to add nozebra table to kohastructure.sql if you think it's useful.
12:43 kados also other missing tables
12:43 and please note the kohastructure.sql changes I made over the weekend
12:43 some column defs were listed as NOT NULL
12:43 and I changed them to default NULL
12:43 because they broke bulkmarcimport
12:44 also, could you explain the additional columns in biblioitems?
12:44 what are they used for?
12:44 paul to store serial collections informations
12:45 to be able to show them easily. Those fields are often requested by libraries, for example in the result list.
12:45 hdl wrote that in july, and, iirc, spoke of this with you.
12:45 kados so there are new mappings to create?
12:45 paul (I was in holidays, he told me that on phone, I may be wrong)
12:46 yes!
12:46 kados k
12:46 paul a question from me now :
12:46 about khastructure.sql, you say in 1448 that browser table is not here.
12:46 but I see it in git
12:46 kados I'm just reporting what I find
12:46 when I run the script
12:46 paul s/tag/browser/ sorry.
12:47 browser is missing, you're right.
12:47 but tags (comment #1 of 1448)
12:48 kados the hierarchy feature fails for another reason?
12:48 from my brief look at the code, the hierarchy feature relies on the browser table too
12:48 all I know is it don't work :-)
12:49 I was just guessing why
12:49 paul ah, ok, I misunderstood.
12:49 the hierarchy feature works with the "browser" table, it's right
12:50 kados paul: also, you use a mysqldump to generate your sysprefs
12:50 in the data/fr dir
12:50 this means that there's no way to easily track changes to sysprefs
12:50 and it's also not easy to see what is different between english and french sysprefs
12:50 I'd highly suggest you create and maintain a human-readable sysprefs.sql file
12:52 paul I've seen the problem. And I think I should at least use some flags to have a more easily human readable dump, you're right.
12:52 (+ maybe it could solve the commit problem i have with those accented chars)
12:53 are you OK to add a new step in the installer (to let the user choose between zebra & nozebra ?)
12:53 kados sure
12:53 as long as it doesn't break the installer :-)
12:54 paul nobody's perfect, but i'll try !
12:54 ah, kados, a BIG NEWS !
12:54 it's finally here !
12:55 you won't believe it, but it's live since this morning.
12:55 .
12:55 .
12:55 .
12:55 http://www.mediathequeouestprovence.fr/
12:55 kados wow, funny
12:55 paul click on "catalogue & ressources" to reach Koha (or search in "Rechercher sur", radio "le catalogue"
12:56 it's done with typo3
12:56 kados hehe, it's broken for me
12:56 firefox rejects the popul
12:56 popup
12:56 Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMHTMLFormElement.submit]"  nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame :: http://www.mediathequeouestpro[…]te/rechercher.php :: onload :: line 1"  data: no]
12:56 paul ! right, same for me !
13:03 hdl kados : About change in authorities frameworks, I did it last year.
13:03 It was to prepare a merge between biblios and authorities management.
13:04 Merge which is not good now.
13:04 But still, some features are really useful.
13:04 a) it enables ppl to link an authority with an other one, just like biblios.
13:05 kados I'd like to see 'a)' in action
13:05 do you have an example?
13:05 hdl (frameworkcode is used as authtypecode for authorities. I could not find a good name : relatedauthorities.)
13:05 (could be)
13:06 Not live.
13:07 paul kados : http://koha.mediathequeouestpr[…]koha/opac-main.pl
13:11 hdl Could be soon live when authorities framework input will be based on biblios framework.
14:32 kados hdl: could you explain that?
14:32 hdl: authorities framework input based on biblios framework?
14:33 hdl I have to add [...] after a subfield if subfield is linked to an authtypecode and open an auth_finder.pl window
14:34 kados in the marc editor?
14:46 thd kados: if the [...] link is doing something useful for your users now, it should be more noticeable than 3 dots are.
14:47 kados hdl: I'm still unclear whether you're adding that to the biblio or authorities editor
14:48 hdl kados:  marceditor for authorities
14:52 kados ?
14:53 kados hdl: so the ... would allow you to link two authorities?
14:53 hdl yes.
14:54 kados as peers or in a hierarchy?
14:54 hdl a 550 field would contain  Broader term, Specific term or see also depending on $5 value
14:54 (to be an authorised_value list)
14:55 thd... Do you confirm that $5 USMARC-A contains relation code ?
14:56 For UNIMARC $5 contains g for generic, h for specific, nothing for peer
15:03 kados I'd like to see an easy way to link peer authority records for doing, e.g., multi-language authorities
15:03 one in turkish, one in english
15:03 afaik, that's a manual process right now
15:04 thd hdl: In MARC 21 that would be the first position of 450 or 550 $w
15:05 hdl thd is there many positions in $w ?
15:06 tumer did some work about that.
15:07 But you have then 2 thesaurii (1 for each language) and you link different authorities.
15:07 kados paul: did you revive stopwords?
15:07 pauor just for NoZebra?
15:08 paul kados : yes. and not just for nozebra.
15:08 kados hmmm
15:08 will it die if you have no stopwords defined?
15:08 paul Search now removes stopwords before sending the query to zebra
15:08 thd hdl: 4XX - 5XX $w is perhaps variable length but if position 0, the first position, is filled then it may include the relationship of the tracing or reference to the main heading of the authority
15:08 paul kados : I hope no, but haven't tested, that's true ;-)
15:09 thd hdl: there are up to 4 optional positions for 4XX-5XX $w
15:11 hdl: For linking fields 7XX, $w functions like UNIMARC $3 and contains the control number of the linked record
15:14 hdl: In MARC 21 $5 contains the institution code in case the particular field is only meant to apply to a particular institution.  I have never noticed a real MARC 21 record using $5.
15:17 paul: what happens to a title query when the title contains only stopwords?
15:19 paul: Andy Warhol has a novel entitled "A".  Stephen King wrote a novel entitled "It".
15:26 kados Opera has a publication called "O"
15:26 :-)
15:31 owen Opera -> Oprah
15:32 kados hehe
15:33 paul maybe we should remove stopwords only for word search, not for exact search. Could that be correct ?
15:34 or, if there is no answer, re-query with empty words included
15:47 kados IMO, stopwords should be configured at the index level
18:18 owen Will/Should a z39.50 search from addbiblio work if the ISBN is hyphenated?
18:24 kados: did you test addbiblio over the weekend?
18:24 kados it _should_ work with hyphens
18:24 if it doesn't, let me know
18:25 owen I just tried adding a biblio and it didn't work. It looked like it was working...it forwarded on to additem
18:37 No Amazon features in 3.0?
18:38 Oh, I see the sysprefs now
19:18 hdl owen : did you have an error ?
19:18 I had the same problem with my installation. But it was a problem of field missing in biblioitems
19:19 owen An entry was created in the biblio table, but not in biblioitems. Should a line be created in biblioitems even if there are no items yet?
19:20 The way I discovered the problem was that after saving the biblio I tried to enter an item and that failed. When I went back to check for the biblio details on catalogue/detail.pl, nothing showed up
19:22 hdl owen : yes, a line in biblioitems should be created even if no item is created.
19:22 It is biblioitems which contains marcrecord.
19:22 owen That's what I thought. No entry in biblioitems was created.
19:23 hdl In fact, you have biblio = Title author and primary information
19:23 biblioitems = editor, editionstatement asoasf
19:23 (itemtype is in biblioitems)
19:24 owen I wonder if it's a frameworks problem? When I try to change the framework in addbiblio.pl, several come up blank
19:25 hdl We could say that Koha COULD be ready for a kind of FRBRization... (If we managed multiple biblioitems for one biblio, which we donot do anymore.)
19:25 owen : did you have acces to logs ?
19:25 Don't you have any mysql error ?
19:25 owen I'll try adding again and see if I can see an error
19:28 I can't see anything in the logs, but I'm not sure I'm looking in the right place. I'd have to double-check with kados, since it's his testing server
19:34 kados owen: the log in your home dir is the right one
19:36 owen [Mon Oct 01 14:27:25 2007] [error] [client 66.213.78.34] [Mon Oct  1 14:27:25 2007] addbiblio.pl: DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Unknown column 'editionresponsibility' in 'field list' at /home/oleonard/koha/production​/intranet/modules/C4/Biblio.pm line 3495., referer: http://staff.oleonard/cgi-bin/[…]0=1&breedingid=34

19:51 kados owen: you need to reinstall
19:51 owen Whee.
19:51 kados owen: that's the error the ryan fixed a couple days ago
19:52 it's a db-level prob
19:52 owen: how much data have you put into your system?
19:52 owen I'd happily wipe the system if we could get Zebra working in the process
19:52 kados ok, lets do it
