| 11:02 | slef | as in - does it work with koha? ;-) |
| 11:06 | greenmang0 | slef: it does |
| 11:06 | slef | interesting |
| 11:08 | greenmang0 | slef: i even skipped CPAN |
| 11:09 | wxcv | hello koha-fans |
| 11:09 | :-) | |
| 11:10 | Amit | hi wxcv |
| 11:10 | slef | greenmang0: do you have SMS::Send installed? |
| 11:23 | greenmang0 | slef: yes |
| 11:29 | lostalien | can someone tell me marc tag for barcode? |
| 11:30 | slef | If you mean item barcode, I think it'll be in a 9xx (952?) field rather than part of the mainstream marc because it's per-item not per-biblio |
| 11:32 | SelfishMan | 952p in koha but 852p is common from what I've seen |
| 11:33 | lostalien | thanks |
| 11:38 | SelfishMan:i want to migrate data from excel sheet to koha d/b. and i am using marcedit for that. | |
| 11:39 | SelfishMan | That sounds painful and nasty |
| 11:39 | You will want to assign the barcode to 952p though | |
| 11:47 | lostalien | SelfishMan: slef: i want to migrate excel data into koha d/b.but excelsheet dont have barcode column |
| 11:47 | so i need to add that column in order to issue book to patron | |
| 11:49 | SelfishMan: i can search that impoted record in koha but cant issue book to patron because of barcode is not available for that book | |
| 11:50 | SelfishMan | yep. You need to add barcodes. |
| 11:51 | lostalien | but our client have not provided it to us...accession number will do |
| 11:52 | anasha | lostalien: |
| 11:52 | greenmang0: | |
| 11:52 | SelfishMan | lostalien: Then insert the accession number in 952p |
| 11:53 | lostalien | okk |
| 11:55 | Amit | hi nahuel |
| 11:57 | lostalien | SelfishMan: thank you ... i will let u know if i find some error... |
| 12:07 | greenmang0 | anasha: |
| 12:07 | anasha | greemang0, yup |
| 12:07 | greenmang0 | anasha: PM? |
| 12:59 | hdl_laptop | gmcharlt: around ? |
| 13:07 | hi owen | |
| 13:11 | lostalien | SelfishMan: what is marc tag for library branch? |
| 13:13 | can anyone tell me marc tag for library branch? | |
| 13:15 | SelfishMan | lostalien: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?[…]for_vendors&s=952 |
| 13:16 | lostalien | thanks bro. |
| 13:20 | SelfishMan: i have inserted the accession number in 952p as you said but i am getting error regarding branch . | |
| 13:21 | SelfishMan: i think, i need to add branch column in excel sheet.. | |
| 13:31 | kf | you need to configure it in database |
| 13:32 | configure libraries in koha, add two columns, one for holding branch, one for homebranch 952$a and $b with library code | |
| 14:36 | owen | Hey danny, you there? |
| 14:37 | danny | hey owen, yes I am |
| 14:37 | owen | I'm thinking about 13-digit isbns and Amazon content |
| 14:37 | I see you submitted a change a few months ago that dealt with that | |
| 14:38 | That didn't touch the issue of book cover images, correct? | |
| 14:39 | danny | right, that is correct, I had planned to submit a follow-up patch to deal with cover images |
| 14:39 | if we can have it grab the image from the amazon xml then it will also pull much more cover art from amazon | |
| 14:39 | owen | ...because it will use EAN, etc. ? |
| 14:40 | danny | well it can match based on different identifiers, such as EAN or UPC |
| 14:40 | right | |
| 14:42 | owen | Wouldn't that be too slow if you wanted to pull covers for search results? |
| 14:44 | danny | I had some concerns about that |
| 14:44 | since you are hitting amazon for each result | |
| 14:46 | currently with the images you are hitting amazon once to load the image from them, but if we pull it from the XML it will be hitting amazon twice, once to get the image url and a second time to load the image | |
| 14:47 | I wanted to test it though because I am curious to see how much it increases the load time | |
| 14:49 | owen | I'll be happy to see better results for cover images. I know our patrons would like to see DVD covers. |
| 14:49 | And we're starting to see records with only the 13-digit ISBN, so getting to see those covers will be good too | |
| 14:50 | danny | I agree |
| 14:54 | owen | Hi jwagner |
| 14:56 | danny | liblime recently submitted a bunch of patches dealing with amazon content, so I was going to wait a bit till those got pushed before making more changes |
| 14:56 | SelfishMan | Has anyone considered using openlibrary.org instead of amazon? |
| 14:57 | atz | yeah, there are a dozen or more sources considered |
| 14:57 | i think we need to totally rework the system for jacket images at least... | |
| 14:57 | SelfishMan | For the most part it handles 10 and 13 digit ISBNs very well and seems to have a better jacket selection than Amazon and google combined |
| 14:57 | atz | before we try to bolt-on more of the same (large) template conditionals |
| 14:57 | SelfishMan | Plus no query limits or license ambiguities |
| 14:58 | I've been looking at trying to make the outside content modular so people can use their own custom modules. In the end that is probably a better solution. | |
| 14:58 | atz | SelfishMan: openlibrary performance may not be as good though |
| 14:59 | SelfishMan | atz: One of the perks of openlibrary is the fact that all the data is available for download so it can be cached locally |
| 15:00 | atz | interesting point |
| 15:01 | SelfishMan | I'm actually in the process of extracting the jackets from the warc files |
| 15:12 | jwagner | Hi owen -- sorry, was working on another screen. |
| 15:13 | owen | that's okay, one expects as much on IRC |
| 15:13 | jwagner | Multitasking is a need-cessity these days.... |
| 17:02 | imp | http://pastebin.ca/1362386 |
| 17:31 | is it possible to switch later from a zebra-free installation to zebra? | |
| 17:33 | ryan_ | imp: yes, it should be ok to do this, however, I wouldn't bother with NoZebra unless you have < 5k records. |
| 17:38 | imp | ryan_: ok, thanks |
| 22:15 | fyi: filled some gentoo tickets with koha deps -> #262712 #262715 #262717 #262718 #262721 #262723 #262726 #262728 #262729 #262732 #262735 | |
| 22:25 | and konqueror somehow manages to nearly DOS the system... load is about 20 only if the main page is requested | |
| 22:26 | might be due the fact my server started swapping because of ~10 processes of intranet/cgi-bin/errors/404.pl.... | |
| 22:26 | but with firefox the setup doesn't behave like this | |
| 00:07 | ron | chris: I got a response back re the deb packaging of koha |
| 00:07 | chris | sweet yeah i saw a couple of emails |
| 00:08 | and i see vincent has updated the wiki | |
| 00:08 | ron | ok |
| 00:08 | the response wasn't so good though | |
| 00:08 | chris | http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?[…]an_packaging_work |
| 00:08 | ron | at least, he's not willing to take this on |
| 00:08 | chris | what did he say? |
| 00:11 | ron | chris: got it? |
| 00:11 | chris | yep |
| 00:11 | ron | what's your thoughts? is this still a goer, or will we have trouble with the patches? |
| 00:12 | chris | its still a goer |
| 00:12 | basically he is jsut saying he doesnt know what a pile of scripts do | |
| 00:12 | so he needs the developers to tell him | |
| 00:13 | ron | ok |
| 00:13 | but he doesn't want to be responsible for the deb | |
| 00:13 | howdy twb | |
| 00:13 | twb | Hi. |
| 00:13 | ron | chris: so who would be responsible? |
| 00:13 | chris | no he doenst want to be paid to be responsible |
| 00:13 | ron | oh. heh |
| 00:13 | chris | I do not really wish to be fund for this work. I do not have a lot of |
| 00:13 | ron | I still want to feed some funds to the community |
| 00:13 | chris | free time, so I do not want to promise some work with a deadline. However, I'm still interested in having a Koha packaging for Debian. |
| 00:13 | twb | ron: Vincent is essentially no longer the (prospective) maintainer; MJ is. |
| 00:14 | ron | twb: ahh... ok. thx |
| 00:14 | chris | MJ might be just the man you are after |
| 00:14 | since he knows debian and koha | |
| 00:14 | twb | However I think MJ and I can leverage Vincent's incomplete work. |
| 00:14 | chris | *nod* |
| 00:14 | ron | I've emailed MJ. He was passing the email onto others, but no other response as yet |
| 00:14 | chris | basically if we answer the questions |
| 00:14 | on the wiki | |
| 00:14 | the packages can be finished | |
| 00:15 | twb | chris: OK, and who do we nag about that? |
| 00:15 | ron | twb: is it viable to install the tarball in the meantime, then replace it later with a 'proper' deb? |
| 00:15 | twb | ron: for the ACT facility, yes -- though I recommend doing that inside an OpenVZ jail. |
| 00:16 | chris | if you can find someone to pay to document those scripts, then them ... otherwise just bring up that wiki page on the koha-devel list and hope someone has time/desire to do it |
| 00:17 | ron | twb: do you want to take this on? |
| 00:17 | never mind. you've got other projects. ;-) | |
| 00:17 | twb | ron: which part, the documentation of existing scripts and other parts mentioned on the wiki page? |
| 00:17 | ron | I haven't read the wiki |
| 00:18 | twb | ron: one moment, I will find the URL |
| 00:18 | The last posts on http://bugs.debian.org/389876 explain how far Vincent got, and the roadblocks he ran into. | |
| 00:19 | The wiki page is http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?[…]an_packaging_work | |
| 00:20 | ron: I can do packaging work, and I can do a tarball deployment in OpenVZ at ACT, but I don't think I'm the right person to be working on koha itself -- after all, I have not used koha before. | |
| 00:21 | ron | yep, understood |
| 02:28 | atz | awesome |
| 02:37 | ron | what's awesome? |
| 02:37 | twb | ron: a window manager. |
| 02:37 | ron | s/window/sales/ |
| 02:39 | twb | ron: er, no: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A[…]_(window_manager) |
| 02:40 | ron | meh... |
| 03:01 | chris | awesome rules |
| 03:01 | twb | I'll stick to ratpoison and xmonad, thanks. |
