| 13:00 | schuster | Galen - Email about overdues... Production doesn't have the new Circ parameter, and the test download doesn't go anywhere... |
| 13:01 | gmcharlt | schuster: got your message, will take a look |
| 13:01 | schuster | OK thanks! |
| 14:42 | owen | After a hold has been checked in, confirmed, and transferred, what should the "found" column in the reserves table say? F? |
| 14:43 | It only says W when it's waiting at its destination right? | |
| 15:27 | hdl_laptop | owen: I *think* so |
| 15:32 | owen | Thanks hdl_laptop. I'm not seeing anything in the "found" column for some reserves I know have been confirmed and transfered. |
| 17:39 | cm | hi all...is there still a way to index individual materials by biblionumber? update_items.pl seems to be abandoned. |
| 17:49 | jwagner | Bugzilla site down? Anyone who can fix it? I'm getting an "internal server error" message. It was OK earlier today. |
| 17:50 | I went to the new site URL http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/index.cgi | |
| 17:51 | cm | i'm getting an internal server error on it, too. |
| 17:51 | it was okay a couple of hours ago. | |
| 17:57 | jwagner | Bugzilla seems to be back now. |
| 18:02 | ryan_ | cm: the zebraqueue table holds a list of all biblios that will be updated with the next run of rebuild_zebra.pl -z . |
| 18:03 | cm | thanks ryan_. i was wondering if it was something like that. thanks! |
| 18:22 | jwagner | Someone around who knows about the pending holds report (pendingreserves.pl)? |
| 18:22 | I have a question about the date defaults. | |
| 19:30 | chris | man it was lucky i had coffee before answering that mail |
| 19:33 | owen | Those "why can't it do this" messages? |
| 19:34 | chris | yep |
| 19:35 | SelfishMan: a tool to do that would be pretty nifty | |
| 19:35 | step 1 in updating your catalogue records | |
| 19:35 | 1st get isbn numbers, then you can get full marc records and merge | |
| 19:36 | SelfishMan | My problem is matching the existing record with the ISBN |
| 19:36 | chris | yeah thats the hard bit |
| 19:36 | SelfishMan | ha ha ha |
| 19:37 | chris | i guess you need to do a search by author and title |
| 19:37 | and present a list back | |
| 19:37 | and have a human pick the one he/she thinks is right | |
| 19:37 | SelfishMan | The human part is the real problem |
| 19:38 | I think I have enough data I can match against but I need to test it | |
| 19:38 | chris | yep |
| 19:39 | i still want to build my flash barcode reader | |
| 19:39 | SelfishMan | I guess a few years back the person that was cataloging didn't see a reason to include ISBNs |
| 19:39 | chris | so with a webcam you hold the item up, and it scans the isbn |
| 19:39 | SelfishMan | That would be nice |
| 19:39 | chris | like that library program on the mac does |
| 19:43 | SelfishMan: i guess searchign amazon might be useful for the ones you cant get a single match on | |
| 19:43 | because the picture of the book might help match in that case? | |
| 19:43 | (might help the human that is) | |
| 19:44 | SelfishMan | Trying to minimize the human element in it |
| 19:44 | owen | Hmm... I managed to choke Koha 3.01.00.014 with an sql report that ran fine in Koha 3.01.00.009 |
| 19:44 | SelfishMan | I think if I look at the title, author, publish date and edition info I can match it most of the time |
| 19:45 | fredericd | chris: Your flash barcode reader already exists... |
| 19:45 | chris | oh yeah i know the flash to do it does |
| 19:45 | integrating it with koha is the bit i havent done | |
| 19:45 | fredericd | ok |
| 19:46 | chris | so to do a z3950 search in cataloguing, you can just scan the book instead of typing it in :) |
| 19:46 | fredericd | It is embedded in French Librarything clone |
| 19:46 | chris | ohh sweet i may not have seen that one |
| 19:46 | do you know what the license is? | |
| 19:46 | fredericd | It mustn't be too hard to integrate into Koha |
| 19:47 | http://www.babelio.com/ajoutlivresCB.php | |
| 19:47 | You need to register and it's in French... | |
| 19:47 | chris | lucky i know some french people :-) |
| 19:48 | thanks fredericd | |
| 19:48 | fredericd | I can ask for the licence |
| 19:49 | chris | that would be great, if the flash is licensed under a GPL compatible license that would be awesome |
| 19:50 | SelfishMan | http://en.barcodepedia.com/download |
| 19:51 | fredericd | mail sent to ask. |
| 19:51 | chris | thanks fredericd |
| 19:52 | and SelfishMan | |
| 19:54 | cool, that might work, i dont mind leaving the logo on | |
| 19:54 | welp, there goes the weekend :) | |
| 20:00 | anyone have a webcam ? | |
| 20:00 | SelfishMan | sure...somewhere |
| 20:01 | owen | On my Mac at home, yeah |
| 20:02 | chris | if people wanted to try that barcodepedia out and let me know if it works, its not too happy on my little hp mini under linux |
| 20:04 | but that might be cos the camera is crap :) | |
| 20:09 | fredericd | If I want to add a syspref, I need to reserve a Version number here: |
| 20:09 | http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?[…]s:start&s=version | |
| 20:09 | Is it correct? | |
| 20:10 | Can I just take v3.01.00.026 or do I need to wait that .026 version to be pushed before sending my patch? | |
| 20:10 | chris | yeah if you need to update the database |
| 20:11 | if your patch is ready, (and includes the update to the version number) | |
| 20:12 | then i would put down .026 and submit and change that page to say submitted | |
| 20:12 | then the pending people will know that they need to use .027 or greater | |
| 20:13 | if its not ready yet just list it with no number yet, and change the number when you submit it | |
| 20:13 | fredericd | Will try now. Thanks. |
| 20:16 | chris | http://en.flossmanuals.net/ <-- we should make use of this |
| 20:21 | owen | Hmm... not about dental hygiene as I'd thought. |
| 20:21 | chris | heh |
| 20:22 | we had a pizza thursday talk on it, some guys at work have been work on the OLPC manuals | |
| 20:25 | seems nice and easy to use, and they print out really well | |
| 20:27 | owen | Isn't the goal of getting the manual into Plone to be able to manage translations better somehow? |
| 20:44 | atz | chris: the google G1 phone can do CCD-camera based barcode scanning rather well |
| 20:45 | google open sourced the line interpolation code, too | |
| 20:48 | chris | oh cool |
| 20:49 | owen: yep thats the goal | |
| 20:50 | but with floss manuals you can also buy the books | |
| 20:50 | so maybe we can do some export to flossmanuals | |
| 20:51 | owen | Yeah, I was wondering about keeping them in sync |
| 20:51 | chris | yeah |
| 20:51 | i guess ill wait and see how the plone one works, the flossmanuals is commendably easy | |
| 20:52 | atz: pretty much have a mobile library on your phone then :) | |
| 20:54 | ok, time to take kahu to watch some dragon boating | |
| 20:55 | good weekends all | |
| 21:28 | brendan | hey #koha |
| 21:28 | danny | hey brendan |
| 21:50 | brendan | hey danny - |
| 21:51 | have a good weekend everyone -- and those who have already started.. |
