| 13:18 | owen | Hi bchurch |
| 13:18 | bchurch | hi owen |
| 13:19 | where are ou located | |
| 13:20 | owen | Ohio. I'm with the Nelsonville Public Library |
| 13:20 | bchurch | owen: I'm in Waterloo, Ontario |
| 13:21 | nengard | regarding authoritied in Koha "the library can opt into the auto-detection of authority records when a record is saved." does this mean when you save a cataloging record? or the authority record? or both? |
| 13:25 | hdl | nengard: biblio record |
| 13:25 | nengard | thanks hdl - that's what i thought - but who knows ;) hehe |
| 13:26 | hdl | Since I knew, I could answer you ;) |
| 13:43 | nengard | "Hi Nicole, do you know the "last seen" field in the item record does?" -- I don't have an answer - anyone know? |
| 13:45 | paul | I know the answer to this one ;-) |
| 13:45 | it's the last date where the item has been seen in the library (checked in / checked out / inventoried) | |
| 13:46 | nengard | thanks paul |
| 14:09 | bchurch | How do you transfer catalog records from the reservoir into the main catalog? The record has been imported but there is still an identical record in the reservoir. |
| 14:10 | hdl | bchurch: try to use managed staged import page in tools. |
| 14:25 | gmcharlt | actually, that won't work for a record that's been brought into reservoir via Z39.50 |
| 14:25 | such records currently just live in the reservoir unless they're manually deleted using SQL | |
| 14:28 | MatthewMetzger | Hello. I am trying to switch to zebra indexing. When I ran "rebuild_zebra.pl -b", I got several "Premature end of data in tag [subfield][datafield]" types of errors. Should I be concerned about this? |
| 14:29 | gmcharlt | MatthewMetzger: it means that some bib records had problems during character conversion |
| 14:29 | MatthewMetzger: only the records listed are affected, the rest should be indexed OK | |
| 14:30 | how many of these errors did you get? | |
| 14:31 | MatthewMetzger | gmcharlt: just a couple, maybe three or four. I'll have to check. |
| 14:33 | gmcharlt: I think that there are only two, but that each of these records has more than one problem. Is "problem with :5957" what I'm looking for? | |
| 14:33 | gmcharlt | not sure, haven't seen that particular message, but I assume so |
| 14:35 | MatthewMetzger | gmcharlt: okay. I think there's just two records. I'm assuming that if I don't fix them that they will not be indexed in zebra. Do you have any suggested documentation on how to fix these records so that they can be indexed by zebra? |
| 14:37 | gmcharlt | MatthewMetzger: not as such. my suggestion is to identify them, delete them using SQL, and reload them (make sure you're running at least beta2 first) |
| 14:37 | MatthewMetzger: other ways are posssible, but some code would have to be written | |
| 14:37 | MatthewMetzger | gmcharlt: by "reload" I assume entering these records again through the admin interface. |
| 14:38 | gmcharlt | yes |
| 14:38 | MatthewMetzger | okay. I think I can figure that out :) thanks for your help. |
| 14:38 | gmcharlt | you're welcome |
| 15:33 | MatthewMetzger | Hello again. |
| 15:34 | I removed those bibs and the indexing went better. However, at the end there are some messages about log, warn, and fatal. | |
| 15:34 | I'll post them here as it is not that many lines. | |
| 15:34 | 10:33:25-02/05 zebraidx(16878) [log] zebra_start 2.0.24 /home/zebradbs/biblios/etc/zebra-biblios.cfg | |
| 15:34 | 10:33:25-02/05 zebraidx(16878) [warn] Cannot open `/home/zebradbs/biblios/etc/zebra-biblios.cfg' [No such file or directory] | |
| 15:34 | 10:33:25-02/05 zebraidx(16878) [fatal] Cannot read config /home/zebradbs/biblios/etc/zebra-biblios.cfg | |
| 15:34 | 10:33:25-02/05 zebraidx(16879) [log] zebra_start 2.0.24 /home/zebradbs/biblios/etc/zebra-biblios.cfg | |
| 15:34 | 10:33:25-02/05 zebraidx(16879) [warn] Cannot open `/home/zebradbs/biblios/etc/zebra-biblios.cfg' [No such file or directory] | |
| 15:34 | 10:33:25-02/05 zebraidx(16879) [fatal] Cannot read config /home/zebradbs/biblios/etc/zebra-biblios.cfg | |
| 15:35 | my koha.xml must be wrong? | |
| 15:41 | I haven't set up a zebradbs user. It looks like that is the problem from that path error. I'll interface with google for a while.... | |
| 15:43 | gmcharlt | MatthewMetzger: yes, I too suspect something in your koha-conf.xml |
| 15:44 | MatthewMetzger | gmcharlt: Do I have to set up a zebradbs user in order to use zebra? I didn't think so. |
| 15:44 | gmcharlt | MatthewMetzger: no, you don't |
| 15:44 | MatthewMetzger | okay. Thanks. |
| 15:44 | gmcharlt | the OS user you're using for koha will work |
| 15:44 | hdl | MatthewMetzger: you may have to change permissions and user access to zebra directory though. |
| 15:45 | change things accordingly to your koha-conf.xml | |
| 15:46 | MatthewMetzger | hdl: Okay. It looks like I'm on the right track now. :) |
| 16:23 | okay. I think that I did everything correctly. rebuid_zebra.pl -b runs without any fatal errors now from the koha user. However, search does not work from the opac or the admin. | |
| 16:23 | I have one warning from rebuild_zebra.pl -b - 11:18:10-02/05 zebraidx(17182) [warn] No such record type: grs.marcxml.record | |
| 16:24 | I googled the error and came up empty. | |
| 16:26 | Well, I'm off to lunch for a half hour or so. I'll come back to this after lunch... | |
| 16:33 | hdl | MatthewMetzger: seems that either cfg donot have the good path to modules or you have not installed grs.marcxml libraries for zebra. |
| 18:53 | MatthewMetzger | hdl: are the grs.marcxml libraries included in http://ftp.indexdata.dk/pub/ze[…]bra-2.0.28.tar.gz ? |
| 19:03 | I installed idzebra-2.0.28 from source but still get this error: [warn] No such record type: grs.marcxml.record | |
| 19:50 | kados | hey Danny |
| 19:51 | Danny | hey |
| 19:51 | gmcharlt | hi Danny |
| 19:52 | atz | greets Danny |
| 19:52 | kados | Danny: http://git.koha.org |
| 19:52 | Danny: that's a web-based view of the version control system | |
| 19:52 | Danny: you might enjoy browsing | |
| 19:52 | owen: you around? | |
| 19:52 | Danny | ok let me take a look |
| 19:53 | owen | Yes |
| 19:53 | kados | owen: meet Danny from Howard County |
| 19:53 | Danny is a web designer | |
| 19:53 | owen | Hi Danny |
| 19:53 | kados | Danny: hope that's your oficial title ... or did I get it wrong |
| 19:53 | Danny | hi Owen |
| 19:54 | ah close enough, I think offically it is web programmer | |
| 19:55 | nice to meet you all and thanks for inviting me here | |
| 19:56 | kados | owen: so as we suspected, Danny wants the blue background and the rounded corners like the HCL site |
| 19:57 | I suspect the cleanest wy to accomplish that will be to add in whatever new class or ids we need to the existing markup, rather than have HCL create a customized set of templates | |
| 19:57 | owen: do you agree? | |
| 19:58 | owen | Tentatively :) |
| 19:58 | kados | hehe |
| 19:58 | pending proposed changes I suppose | |
| 19:58 | owen | It it means a /lot/ of markup changes I'm going to be hesitant |
| 19:59 | kados | right |
| 19:59 | owen | But we do need flexibility. |
| 19:59 | Danny, what are your browser requirements? | |
| 19:59 | Danny | it would mean adding a quite a few extra divs, that I suppose most people wouldn't use |
| 20:01 | kados | Danny: on 'http://new.hclibrary.org/' ... I notice a few horizontal lines, one of the left-bottom and two on the right (one near the top and one near the bottom) of the lower two-panel section of the site |
| 20:01 | Danny: are those lines part of the design? | |
| 20:01 | Danny | well trying to make it work on as many as possible, however I primarly test with Firefox and IE7 |
| 20:02 | kados: those are part of the design for the front page only | |
| 20:04 | kados | gotcha |
| 20:04 | http://new.hclibrary.org/index.php?page=37 | |
| 20:04 | there's a good place to work from to model the results page I think | |
| 20:05 | with facets being equivilent to the Special Services, etc. | |
| 20:05 | Danny | yes exactly |
| 20:06 | owen | Danny, how do you feel about javascript-driven rounded corners? |
| 20:08 | Danny | I played with nifty corners a bit, the problem is I couldn't get the effect I wanted |
| 20:08 | with the inner shadow | |
| 20:11 | owen | Hmmm... I like the idea of js corners because it's less markup to change. But I don't like the fact that it requires javascript and that there can be a delay in the effect appearing |
| 20:11 | But I'm inclined to think it might be worth pursuing further. How do you feel about that? | |
| 20:12 | kados | Danny: so your current design is a sliding doors one? |
| 20:13 | Danny | owen: ah I understand what you were asking, I prefer the css over javascript because of those downsides you mentioned, my way around that was that I just call a php function openTable(); |
| 20:13 | owen: and that takes care of the markup | |
| 20:14 | kados: what do you mean by sliding doors design? | |
| 20:14 | kados | Danny: basically, modeled off of something like this: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/slidingdoors/ |
| 20:14 | where it expands as needed | |
| 20:14 | based on the surrounding text size | |
| 20:15 | Danny | right |
| 20:30 | have a good evening and great weekend everyone | |
| 20:30 | I am heading out for today, but I'll definitely joining more frequently, thanks | |
| 21:00 | atz | hrm... rain has the power around here going in/out |
| 21:27 | kados | athens is rain-free so far |
| 21:27 | wonder if it's headed our way |
