| 12:04 | gvb | Thanks. |
| 14:10 | Snow_Fox | wow its empty in here |
| 14:19 | anxst | hello |
| 14:19 | Snow_Fox | :-P |
| 14:20 | its been a wee bit quiet in here so far | |
| 14:21 | anxst | i'm having some problems with searching in koha due to unicode normalization forms |
| 14:21 | could someone maybe help me out? | |
| 14:22 | problem is that most of our biblios are stored in nfd/nfkd in mysql | |
| 14:23 | Snow_Fox | sorry mango greek to me :( |
| 14:23 | anxst | now when i'm doing a search for a book (or author) with a diacritic in the name i don't get any results |
| 14:24 | cause naturally my keyboard input is nfc | |
| 14:24 | is there an easy way to get around this? | |
| 14:25 | Snow_Fox | umm, i havnt a clue, but i guess you could try changing the keyboard input to NFG or NFKD |
| 14:25 | NFD | |
| 14:25 | sorry | |
| 14:25 | beyond that i cant help you with this | |
| 14:30 | anxst | i don't think is easily possible... if at all |
| 14:33 | Snow_Fox | you could well be right |
| 14:33 | now when you say diacritic thats a special character right? | |
| 14:35 | anxst | yes, like a grave accent in french or a trema in german... stuff like ä or è |
| 14:36 | Snow_Fox | you will have to forgive me, i live in the middle of kansas we dont see many characters like that unless the folks in lindsborg have there festival |
| 14:38 | anxst | :) |
| 15:27 | Snow_Fox | ok the use of RSS feeds kinda confuse me in relation to OPACS |
| 16:09 | monring Piano | |
| 16:09 | morning even | |
| 16:12 | pianohacker | Good monring to you too |
| 16:49 | Snow_Fox | ok i keep reading about the opac being able to access a RSS feed |
| 16:49 | i guess i should ask | |
| 16:49 | how does the uers do that technically with the opac demo | |
| 16:50 | users | |
| 16:50 | man i cant type this morning | |
| 18:09 | pianohacker | There's an rss button on search pages |
| 18:38 | Snow_Fox | like on the users opac account? |
| 18:38 | or somewhere in the sys | |
| 18:38 | pianohacker | On a search page |
| 19:32 | Snow_Fox | i be thinking that the demos dont be having that enabled |
| 19:32 | pianohacker | mebbe. Or I could be wrong |
| 19:44 | chris | morning |
| 19:54 | Snow_Fox | huh |
| 19:55 | someones Addy on MSN :Meaford - Where happiness goes to die | |
| 19:55 | ive always wondered where it did that | |
| 20:00 | chris | hehe |
| 20:00 | Snow_Fox | hey chris |
| 20:01 | RSS feeds in the OPAC | |
| 20:01 | exist ya or na? | |
| 20:02 | chris | yep |
| 20:02 | they exist | |
| 20:02 | http://opac.koha.workbuffer.or[…]pac-search.pl?q=h | |
| 20:03 | see the little rss link next to the count of results? | |
| 20:03 | Snow_Fox | ya |
| 20:03 | i do now | |
| 20:04 | ok | |
| 20:04 | so basically they can subscribe to that search as a RSS feed | |
| 20:04 | and that would be native to there opac login? | |
| 20:05 | chris | they dont have to be logged in |
| 20:05 | you can subscribe to the rss of any search, logged in or not | |
| 20:06 | Snow_Fox | and the results of that search will go to what ever collects there RSS feeds |
| 20:06 | right? | |
| 20:06 | chris | yup |
| 20:06 | Snow_Fox | so really nothing changes OPAC wise then |
| 20:06 | chris | exactly |
| 20:06 | Snow_Fox | i see |
| 20:06 | chris | so a search ppl like to craft is one that shows new items |
| 20:07 | what id suggest with that, is you take that, and put it through feedburned | |
| 20:07 | feedburner even | |
| 20:07 | and provide a link on your opac to the feedburner feed | |
| 20:08 | you can then track how many ppl are subscribe, and also feedburner fetches it once, .. even if 500 ppl are subscribe, so you dont get lots of extra searches | |
| 20:10 | (ie add it to the opac homepage) | |
| 20:10 | Snow_Fox | i see |
| 20:11 | im trying to wrap my head around this | |
| 20:11 | :-P | |
| 20:11 | its saturday my mind left my body by itself and said deal with it, its prob off at the lake right nwo | |
| 20:12 | :-P | |
| 20:12 | thanks chris i think that should get me going on this project | |
| 20:12 | chris | cool |
| 20:45 | right, time to make pancakes with a toddler, then off to the markets | |
| 20:45 | i must be a masochist | |
| 20:45 | Snow_Fox | i was gonna say |
