00:46 jcamins ibeardslee: I thought about doing an A4 version.
00:46 They I decided I didn't care.

09:33 I thought i was possible
09:33 but does not seem to work
09:34 hé, what's that bot?
09:34 magnuse no, i *think* you can only do iso2709 in the staff interface
09:35 mtj msaby, it picks up tweets with the #KohaILS hashtag
09:35 magnuse tweetbot listens to twitter, and reports any tweets with the #kohails tag

09:44 rangi wow that guy is pretty annoying
09:44 evening all
09:48 magnuse hiya rangi
09:51 cait rangi: which guy?
09:54 rangi our live dvd manager
09:57 * magnuse wonders if Amazon SNS could be used for sending text messages from koha
10:12 rangi msaby++
10:13 pootle 2.5.0 is out
10:13 we are running 2.1.6
10:13 http://docs.translatehouse.org[…]/en/stable-2.5.0/
10:13 msaby ho ho
10:14 new features in Pootle 2.5?
10:14 rangi http://docs.translatehouse.org[…]leases/2.5.0.html
10:14 yep
10:14 lots of good UI fixes
10:14 things like alerts too
10:15 http://docs.translatehouse.org[…].0/changelog.html
10:15 cait it looks really nice from what I see
10:15 maybe could make the translators bit happier? :)
10:15 rangi yeah
10:16 i like the timeline
10:16 and the memory
10:16 wahanui the memory is fine
10:17 rangi http://pootle.locamotion.org/
10:17 fast
10:18 cait keyboard shortcuts too
10:18 rangi yep
10:18 worth trying at least
10:20 magnuse who's the new tm again?
10:21 msaby i just send a message to translate list
10:21 aboot pootle
10:21 cait bgkriegel
10:21 wahanui i heard bgkriegel was on a signoff spree
10:21 cait i thik we are also not using all possible features
10:21 i see that our admin interface suggests adding lucene or something
10:21 msaby missing feature for me : real advanced search, phrase search, exact search
10:21 cait not sure if that would impact speed tho
10:22 msaby that's not fixed in 2.5.0 version. maybe in next?
10:24 rangi log an issue for it, or search to see if there is one already
10:24 they cant read our minds :)
10:28 cait yeah :)
10:28 that's a really good idea
10:29 rangi but id much prefer we interact with the pootle devs, its an active free software project
10:29 and free software is ethically always better than free of cost proprietary software
10:32 cait could imagine thy are happy about constructive feedback and maybe some helping hands
10:33 rangi yep
10:33 ive emailed the list in the past, they are helpful
10:45 * paul_p head to lunch
10:52 msaby bye
11:01 * rangi heads off to sleep
11:03 magnuse sleep tight rangi - soon you will be a free man too ;-)
11:04 jcamins Good night.
11:04 wahanui I watch you sleep.
11:04 jcamins magnuse: he went and volunteered to be QAA for 3.14, though...
11:05 cait creepy wahanui
11:08 magnuse jcamins: true, but i imagine that to be slightly less stressfull than being rmaint. i moght be wrong, though!
11:09 and good morning jcamins - hope you had a refreshing night :-)
11:10 cait magnuse: you have no idea *muahaha*
11:11 magnuse oh, i forgot who the qam is - yeah being qaa must be hell ;-)
11:13 cait ;)
11:14 jwagner joined #koha
11:45 magnuse what are the single sign-on options in 3.12? cas, ldap, persona?
11:46 jcamins PKI?
11:46 magnuse ah yes
11:47 i think persona is pretty neat, though. if koha has your email you can create a persona account and use that to log in to koha, without needing a separate password in koha
11:50 (if i have understood it correctly)
11:50 jcamins Exactly.
11:50 Much easier to configure than PKI, too.
11:51 * magnuse would think so

12:24 MathieuTCZ joined #koha
12:24 MathieuTCZ Hello everyone... I am having a problem with the LabelCreator.  As far as I can tell my particular problem is not in bugzilla...
12:25 It would appear that some of my biblios, though captured in the items table are not appear in itemsbad.  This is throwing an error with the perl script which looks in that table for the record.
12:26 I can issue the books without a problem though
12:26 jcamins Are you logged in as the database user?
12:26 MathieuTCZ logged into Koha as superlibrarian (not kohauser)
12:26 jcamins Okay.
12:26 I'm out of ideas then, I fear. :(
12:27 MathieuTCZ here is the error: [Mon May 20 11:34:18 2013] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] [Mon May 20 11:34:18 2013] label-edit-batch.pl: Database returned the following error on attempted INSERT: Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails (`koha`.`creator_batches`, CONSTRAINT `creator_batches_ibfk_3` FOREIGN KEY (`item_number`) REFERENCES `itemsbad` (`itemnumber`) ON DELETE CASCADE) at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Creators/Batch.pm line 72., referer: h
12:27 drnoe joined #koha
12:27 jcamins Wait...
12:27 there's no such table as itemsbad.
12:27 I suspect the reason no one's reported the problem on Bugzilla is that at some point someone altered the names of tables in your installation.
12:28 MathieuTCZ I have traced the problem, but I am wondering what I need to do to get my biblios into the itemsbad table in the koha database... I can add items to label batches if they appear there, but if a book ( or other resource) is not yet recorded in itemsbad, batch.pm gives an error.
12:28 jcamins MathieuTCZ: there's no such table in regular Koha, so I have no idea.
12:28 MathieuTCZ no, itemsbad is there.
12:29 this table records, among other things, accession dates
12:29 oleonard itemsbad may be there MathieuTCZ, but it's not a table that is used by Koha. What version are you using?
12:29 pastebot "jcamins" at 127.0.0.1 pasted "Tables in a working Koha installation." (170 lines) at http://paste.koha-community.org/19
12:30 jcamins MathieuTCZ: ^^ there's a list of tables that I have in my installation.
12:30 I would speculate that the problem is the foreign key, and that you need to change it to point to the items table.
12:30 MathieuTCZ hmmm... so should I delete (after having made a backup) itemsbad?
12:30 jcamins However, that's just speculation.
12:31 You can try it.
12:31 I can't really offer advice because I'm not sure what changes were made to your installation.
12:31 MathieuTCZ here is my server info
12:31 Koha version:3.10.02.000 OS version ('uname -a'):Linux tcz 2.6.32-45-server #101-Ubuntu SMP Mon Dec 3 15:54:27 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux Perl interpreter:/usr/bin/perl Perl version:5.010001 Perl @INC: /usr/share/koha/lib  /etc/perl  /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1  /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1  /usr/lib/perl5  /usr/share/perl5  /usr/lib/perl/5.10  /usr/share/perl/5.10  /usr/local/lib/site_perl  .  MySQL version:mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.66, for debi
12:32 jcamins The fact that table exists means that someone manually made changes to your database, and I have no idea what they might be.
12:32 arihant I am looking to edit the file that koha uses to generate email...Where can i find this file
12:33 jcamins arihant: Tools -> Notices or something like that.
12:33 And then Koha just uses sendmail to send messages.
12:33 arihant i am interested in changing the headers of the email
12:33 jcamins I don't know how to do that, sorry.
12:34 arihant ok thank you
12:34 oleonard arihant: I'm curious: Why?
12:35 arihant i am getting a header charset error when trying to send emails via Amazon SES
12:35 http://koha.1045719.n5.nabble.[…]ES-td5755125.html

13:34 jcamins Ohhhh.
13:35 oleonard: I have something that you should fix in the Bootstrappy OPAC: there should be a div that contains members and the user header but not #opac-main-search.

13:37 oleonard jcamins: At this point in my work members and opacheader are in separate divs but not contained by any common div
13:37 jcamins The problem I have encountered is that changing the background above the search bar is not fun.
13:38 I figured it out, but it wasn't fun.
13:38 And that seems a pretty normal thing to do.
13:38 oleonard Hm, I don't remember that being difficult, but it's been a while.
13:39 jcamins oleonard: the problem is the margins get weird.
13:39 oleonard Yeah I remember that.
13:39 jcamins So you end up giving your custom elements negative margins because if you change #header-wrapper, the search bar gets screwed up.
13:43 edveal joined #koha
13:46 jcamins Okay... I have determined that using a responsive framework to match a non-responsive site's styling is probably not such a good idea.
13:47 magnuse heh

14:16 gmcharlt jcamins++ # release
14:18 cait hi gmcharlt :)
14:18 gmcharlt hi cait
14:18 cait welcome to your release 3.14 :)
14:18 * gmcharlt has done the obvious ... and set the hostname of my Raspberry Pi to 'kohapi'
14:19 cait yay!
14:19 druthb lol
14:23 jcamins Hehe.
14:24 magnuse gmcharlt: does it run koha?
14:25 oleonard jcamins: Did you give gmcharlt the robe and sceptre?
14:25 jcamins Oh, right.
14:25 * jcamins chucks the robe and sceptre at gmcharlt.
14:25 gmcharlt magnuse: heh - at the moment, it's running OpenSRF and I'm planning on sticking Evergreen on it just to see how well it does
14:25 jcamins gmcharlt: seriously?
14:25 Are you nuts?
14:26 I was on #evergreen begging for help finding services to disable with a 1GB VM!
14:26 gmcharlt jcamins: yes, but what does that have to do with anything? :)
14:26 to be clear, I'm not planning on running the database on it
14:26 rambutan EG on one PI, the indexer on another PI, the db on another pi....outta work
14:26 gmcharlt exactly
14:26 rambutan reports on another pi
14:26 jcamins gmcharlt: ah, so Postgres will be on a real computer?
14:27 druthb If I can try to get Koha breathing on an Asus EeePC 900A, with 2 GB of RAM and a 4 GB SSHD…  hey, gmcharlt can doo eeet!
14:27 jcamins druthb: that's a whole lot more than 512MB of RAM.
14:27 druthb (I succeeded.  Sort of.  It ran, and would search, even and properly return hits from the four (!) db records I could put in there.
14:27 Beastly slow.
14:28 Dyrcona gmcharlt is mad, don't you know.... :)
14:28 magnuse druthb: if it works it works :-)
14:28 druthb oh, totally, Dyrcona.  Anyone who takes RM more than once *must* be.
14:28 magnuse so we have 6 months to figure out something fun to do with the raspberry pi + koha 3.14 combo :-)
14:29 druthb: or they have a short memory...
14:30 Dyrcona EG might work on a whole pile of Pi machines....We've wanted to try running multiple ejabberd servers for the communications, but I'm getting way off topic.
14:33 gmcharlt Dyrcona: indeed -- as long as one never gets to the point where a single drone process intentionally needs more RAM than the Pi can provide, a bunch of them should serve
14:34 not sure about ever (realistically) using one for PostgreSQL for anything larger than Concerto, of course
14:35 Dyrcona Our ejabberd uses the most RAM on our server, then all of the apaches.
14:35 The drones don't typically go much over 150MB each.
14:36 gmcharlt which of course implies the exciting possiblity of max_children = 2 or something like that :)
14:36 Dyrcona :)
14:36 jcamins I look forward to seeing the attempt, but I am dubious.
14:37 Dyrcona Koha in general has a smaller memory foot print than EG, no? <- Legitimate question.
14:37 jcamins And by "dubious" I mean "absolutely convinced it's going to be too painful to even get OpenSRF to *start* much less use it."
14:37 Dyrcona: yes.
14:38 Dyrcona jcamins: That is what I thought, but I've never really verified it for myself.
14:39 Well, if you used a Jabber server with a smaller memory usage than ejabberd, it might work for a stand alone, very small public library.
14:39 jcamins Dyrcona: just so long as they only have four books...
14:39 Dyrcona hah!
14:39 druthb Two books.  One patron.  Good to go.
14:46 tcohen does anyone what script puts koha-common.cron.d at /etc/cron.d/koha-common ?
14:46 s/anyone/anyone knows/
14:47 druthb oleonard and others who monkey with browser-centricism…check this out:  http://caniuse.com
14:48 oleonard Yeah, checked that the other day when I couldn't remember who supported PNG alpha transparency
14:50 It should be known also as the Internet Explorer hall of shame.
14:50 druthb hehehe
14:53 tcohen magnuse?

15:03 drojf who? what? hi #koha :)
15:03 tcohen i wanted to know how the cron.* files are installed by the debian scripts
15:03 i want to add a new file, but couldn't find an example
15:04 (i thought koha-common.cron.d would be a good one)
15:04 drojf ah, you need help, not me. that is less confusing :)
15:05 tcohen ^o)
15:05 jcamins tcohen: I think that's just the way Debian packages work.
15:05 cron.d is automatically installed.

15:08 drojf tcohen: what do you mean by "how" they are installed? how it works in the installation process or where they end up?
15:08 (or something else)
15:09 tcohen jcamins gave me the right answer, I wanted to add a file for packages, and couldn't figure how to make the package building script handle it
15:10 i was looking at the koha-common.cron.d file as an example, and couldn't find references to it in the whole codebase
15:11 i want to propose a file /etc/default/koha-common for init scripts general configuration
15:11 and looks like just naming it koha-common.default will make it :-D
15:12 drojf yeah i think it is just copied to the respective folder when oyu do that
15:12 *you
15:12 tcohen yes, there are several reserved file names that make it work as one would expect

15:16 how devastating would it be to convert a koha mysql database from latin1 to utf8?
15:16 tcohen wouldn't it break the MARC/binary records?
15:16 oleonard Extinction of all life on Earth?
15:18 drojf oleonard: if it is that big i think it's cool ;)
15:18 tcohen: not sure. they are broken now i guess
15:18 that is how i found out about it
15:19 i was testing a cataloging script and it did not work as it did on my vm. turns out i retrieve broken umlauts from mysql and the matching does not work
15:20 tcohen i guess longblob doesn't have an encoding set

19:45 * magnuse googles and finds http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]_Chef_and_Vagrant
19:45 rangi yep that was corsair__
19:46 its pretty cool, needs updating, but worked when i tried it last
19:47 magnuse hm, i have plenty of space on my "misc" linode, but no time to look at it now
19:50 * rangi goes to take the kids to school
19:53 jcamins Alas, I should have made the illustrated release notes just a little bit longer.
19:54 magnuse why?
19:54 jcamins magnuse: you can't get a 14p booklet printed.
19:54 Well, not printed and bound, that is.
19:55 magnuse ah, 16 would have been better?
19:55 jcamins Yup.
19:55 Much.
19:56 So I'm trying to think of two more pages worth of content to add to the copy I have printed.
19:56 magnuse leave a couple pages for "your own notes" at the end
19:56 jcamins Or, I suppose, bring it to KohaCon and get it signed by folks.
19:56 magnuse ooh, cool idea!
19:58 jcamins Ooh, or maybe a full-page visualization of Koha's development history.
19:59 magnuse how would you do that?
19:59 jcamins magnuse: I was thinking of the cluster thing rangi had in his history... do one for the date of the release of 3.12.0
20:00 magnuse or print the gource visualaization as a flip-book-movie
20:00 jcamins lol
20:01 I only want to add two pages.
20:01 magnuse well, a couple thousand pages might be cool too? ;-)
20:03 jcamins Possibly a little more than I want to spend on printing.
20:05 rangi this one?
20:05 wahanui it has been said that this one is cool as long as someone *wants* acknowledgement
20:06 rangi http://blog.bigballofwax.co.nz[…]-is-done-on-koha/
20:06 jcamins rangi: I was thinking of the one in your presentation showing the relationships.
20:06 rangi oh right
20:06 yeah tidy that up
20:07 http://blog.bigballofwax.co.nz[…]-worth-of-merges/  is a fun one too
20:08 oleonard Bye everyone
20:08 rangi cya oleonard

20:08 you can clone the repo if you want jcamins
20:08 jcamins Ooh, thanks!
20:09 rangi https://gitorious.org/chrisc_p[…]ndex.html#release
20:09 or grab from there )
20:09 https://gitorious.org/chrisc_p[…]es/index.html#api  <-- i like too
20:10 based on a picture cait did
20:10 jcamins Ooh, I know what I want.
20:10 I want an organization chart that shows *everyone* who contributed.
20:10 rangi that slide was my answer to the 'platform' spiel
20:10 ohhh
20:10 good idea
20:11 that would totally be doable
20:11 jcamins Like, not just "Patch author" but "Chris Cormack," etc., etc.
20:11 rangi but would take some time
20:11 *nod*
20:11 jcamins And a printed version of the release notes is of vital importance right this moment? ;)
20:11 rangi how many authors in 3.12.0 ?
20:11 40ish?
20:11 jcamins ... I don't remember.
20:11 Something like that.
20:12 I'll run stats.
20:12 rangi yeah you could actually fit that i think
20:12 maybe have to do it landscape
20:12 jcamins Yeah, but that's okay.
20:12 rangi and then ppl could sign their box at kohacon
20:12 :-)
20:12 jcamins And I'd be okay with staggering the names being staggered.
20:12 rangi like a yearbook
20:12 heh
20:13 jcamins With one fewer "stagger*."
20:13 rangi "most likely to go insane and volunteer for another release"
20:13 jcamins lol
20:13 When I told Shari I'd released, she said "How long was that? Seven months? You know, you could be most of the way to a child by now, and then your parents would have a grandchild for all the suffering."
20:14 rangi ok now it is actually time for school
20:14 magnuse lol
20:14 rangi bb from work
20:14 jcamins Bye.
20:14 magnuse have fun rangi
20:17 jcamins Oh, now I know why I haven't been running statistics recently.
20:18 I don't have gitdm.

20:31 I like Shari's play on the word released :P
20:32 jcamins bag: yep. That's why I dedicated 3.12 to the spouses.
20:32 bag ahhh sweet :D
20:35 msaby hi jcamins. I'm looking at bug 8519 (about zebra). not sure to understand the consequences for librairies. The commit message says the documentation will be updated later. Do you know if it was done?

20:35 jcamins I don't believe it was, but there are no consequences for libraries that don't go out of their way to set it up.

20:41 blahdeblah Hi. I'm looking for info on importing records from another system (Emilda).  http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]port_MARC_to_Koha says it's obsolete - where should i look for current info?
20:42 (BTW, I've already got a working 3.10.05-1 installation.)
20:42 msaby jcamins: thank you
20:46 jcamins blahdeblah: I don't think we have any updated documentation aside from the manual.
20:48 blahdeblah jcamins: So http://manual.koha-community.o[…]ls.html#stagemarc ?
20:48 jcamins Oh, was the question just about the actual importing step?
20:48 Yes, stage MARC is probably your best bet.
20:49 bulkmarcimport still exists, though, if you're importing a lot of records and don't want the added overhead.
20:49 blahdeblah jcamins: I have an Emilda system (which uses zebra), and i'm trying to work out how to bring in the whole database.
20:50 jcamins blahdeblah: yeah, that's another issue... you'll have to convert the data into something that Koha can use.
20:50 blahdeblah So just because it's MARC doesn't mean it will work?
20:50 jcamins For just importing MARC, the only thing you'll have to worry about is the item records.
20:51 @marc 952
20:51 wahanui The 952 field is used by Koha to store item data in MARC21 and is described at http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]_fields_%289xx%29
20:51 huginn jcamins: unknown tag 952
20:51 gmcharlt rangi: as near as I can make out, Jenkins did not seem to update the version stamp in its test DB
20:51 jcamins That link outlines what data needs to go where in 952 (or 995 if you're a UNIMARC user) for Koha to understand the item record.
20:51 gmcharlt: yeah, it has to be done manually.
20:52 blahdeblah: however, that leaves all your patrons, circulation records, etc. still in Koha.
20:52 blahdeblah I only really care about the bibliographic data
20:53 jcamins Good. That's easy. You just have to export the MARC, modify the item information from Emilda into Koha's 952/995 fields, and import it using stage MARC records (my preference) or bulkmarcimport (not my preference).
20:54 blahdeblah What is the difference between staging and importing?
20:54 jcamins blahdeblah: staging puts the records in a reservoir, and from there you import them by clicking the import button.
20:54 blahdeblah Do you have to click on every record?
20:54 jcamins No.
20:54 You just click the import button once to import the batch.
20:54 blahdeblah OK
20:55 So it's sort of like a preview-before-import function?
20:55 jcamins I prefer that because it gives me a preview so I can confirm that my records look basically like I expected.
20:55 blahdeblah heh
20:55 I take it a batch can be discarded as well?
20:55 jcamins Yup.
20:55 And once it's imported you click "Clean," and Koha cleans up after itself so that the batch isn't taking up space (just the records in their final home).
20:56 blahdeblah cool - thanks
20:56 So all i really need to work out is the 952/995 deal
20:56 jcamins Yup.
20:56 magnuse is there still a limit on how many records you can stage/import?
20:56 jcamins Are you using MARC21 or UNIMARC?
20:56 blahdeblah No idea
20:56 jcamins magnuse: not to my knowledge. I've done 200k.
20:56 magnuse oh cool
20:57 jcamins blahdeblah: if your file is too large to upload, there's a stage_file.pl script.
20:57 blahdeblah It won't be too large
20:57 jcamins blahdeblah: where are you located?
20:57 blahdeblah It's my personal library - only about 1300 items
20:57 .au
20:57 jcamins Probably MARC21, then.
20:58 If the titles appear in field 245, it's MARC21.
20:58 blahdeblah That's what /etc/koha/koha-sites.conf seems to indicate
20:58 jcamins The question is what format your data is in in Emilda.
20:58 Converting between MARC21 and UNIMARC is very difficult.
20:58 blahdeblah I'll see if i can work that out
20:59 magnuse oops someone needs to do a little checkup on their webpage http://www.emilda.org/
20:59 jcamins Well, based on the screenshot on Sourceforge, it's MARC21.
20:59 magnuse: yeah, I noticed that.
21:00 I see why you're migrating away... looks like abandonware.
21:01 blahdeblah It has been for quite some time
21:02 I just haven't had a chance to look at it for ages, and because the site isn't Internet-exposed, i haven't been too concerned about security.
21:04 * magnuse does the sensible thing and calls it a day - have fun #koha!
21:04 blahdeblah jcamins: Since it Emilda already uses Zebra, is there a way i can just point Koha at the data and have it pull it in?
21:04 jcamins Nope.
21:04 Zebra is used only for indexing.
21:05 blahdeblah ah
21:05 So the MARC data will be in the database somewhere?
21:06 I got the impression from reading about Zebra that it was the master store of MARC data.
21:06 jcamins Right.
21:06 Really?
21:06 wahanui Really is off now
21:06 jcamins Yikes!
21:06 Certainly it's not the master store for Koha, and I would hope it wasn't for Emilda either.
21:07 blahdeblah I'm no expert on this - and it's been a long time since i touched it
21:07 jcamins I'd give even odds that you're remembering correctly.
21:07 Hopefully Emilda has some sort of export function.
21:08 blahdeblah It's all LAMP, so hopefully the worst it could be is that i'll have to do a custom mysql query.
21:11 * blahdeblah heads to breakfast - thanks for the help, jcamins
21:16 jcamins I have about a pound and a half of flour that doesn't fit in the bucket.
21:17 Guess I'd better bake something.
21:17 What should I bake?
21:18 rangi gmcharlt: should be fixed now
21:18 gmcharlt rangi: thanks
21:18 is there something that can be done to automate it?  or alternatively, can I have access?
21:19 rangi ill automate it again, and yep you can ask biblibre for access that would be fine (it's their box)
21:19 i can give you jenkins admin access tho
21:19 whats your username?
21:20 jcamins rangi: happy birthday!
21:21 rangi thanks
21:22 gmcharlt rangi: gmcharlt (and if you could do a password reset, that would be great)
21:22 rangi will do

22:02 cait joined #koha
22:03 blahdeblah Hmmm..  jcamins: looks like in Emilda all biblio is indeed stored in Zebra - the book table is just a reference to the record id, and they access it via a yaz call
22:06 rangi thanks khall_away
22:11 cait happy birthday rangi!
22:12 rangi thanks :)
22:12 bag YAY happy birthday rangi
22:12 I love birthday parties!
22:13 cait who doesn't? :)
22:16 jcamins blahdeblah: looks like you'll be using yaz to extract the data if there's no export option.
22:16 blahdeblah It appears that everything's in raw MARC files
22:17 I was able to dump one with marcdump and it appeared sane
22:17 (to my untrained eye)
22:17 I'm going to try staging a record and see what happens
22:17 jcamins Oh, of course.
22:19 blahdeblah That seemed to work sweetly
22:19 Can MARC files just be concatenated, or is there something i need to do to put everything in one file?
22:19 jcamins They can be concatenated.
22:20 * blahdeblah rubs hands and has a shot at it
22:24 drnoe_away left #koha
22:31 blahdeblah Well, that seemed to go OK
22:31 It imported 1335 records, and 12 items
22:31 Not sure what the difference between those is
22:31 jcamins The former are bibliographic records, the latter would be physical items, with call numbers, etc.
22:32 blahdeblah Urrgh - that's not good
22:32 There should be 1335 items
22:32 Is there a way to bulk-create matching items?
22:32 jcamins That's what the 952 conversion was for.
22:32 Not really, no.
22:33 You could write a script that would create an item for each bibliographic record.
22:34 blahdeblah That page you linked to didn't seem to indicate what needed to be done to allow import of holdings.  Am i missing something?
22:35 jcamins That page describes what data goes where.
22:35 It is your responsibility to find that data in your existing records and put it in those places.
22:35 blahdeblah OK
22:35 So if we set up some sort of transform it should be possible to copy the holdings data on import?
22:35 jcamins Yes.
22:39 blahdeblah OK, so it seems to use 852 for holdings as mentioned in that wiki page

22:51 bag I feel so much less cool now
22:51 blahdeblah OK, i'm still not understanding what needs to happen in order to mangle 852 to 952 on import.  Is there any further info other than http://wiki.koha-community.org[…]_fields_%289xx%29 ?
22:51 tcohen oh, leaving, bye cait
22:51 cait blahdeblah: for koha 852 are useless, you need to map your item data for 952
22:52 i mean, the data needs to have it, koha is not going to do anything with it on import
22:52 hm I am confusing
22:52 rangi nice :)
22:52 blahdeblah cait: jcamins seemed to imply that it would be possible to copy it
22:52 rangi yes, you would need to copy it
22:52 koha wont do that for you
22:53 blahdeblah Any tips on how to do that?
22:53 rangi you could use something like marcedit
22:53 cait thx rangi :)
22:53 good night all!
22:53 cait left #koha
22:54 blahdeblah rangi: Is that a Koha tool, or does it come from somewhere else?
22:54 rangi not a koha tool
22:54 there are lots of perl tools for manipulating MARC records or there is marcedit with is free of cost but proprietary
22:55 blahdeblah I'm pretty comfortable with perl scripting, but happy to use another tool if it's going to be fast and easy
22:55 s/happy/prefer/
22:55 rangi ive never used marcedit
22:56 but people seem to like it
22:56 blahdeblah Does it do bulk changes?
