Inporting authority data in Koha3
by Partha Mukhopadhyay 24 Mar '09

24 Mar '09

Dear all Need ur valuable advice on importing of MARC 21 formatted authority data. As u know recently VIAF (Virtual Internation Authority File) project started jointly by Loc, DNB, BnF, and OCLC. The url is http://viaf.org/. My questions are - Is it possible to import VIAF authority data (MARC 21 formatted authority data) into Koha authority table? Note: I tried to import data through Tools -> Stage MARC record to import and follow the steps. This process imported authority data but I was not clear about how koha imported data - as bibliographic data or as authority data. However, then I tried to the process Tools -> Manage staged MARC record -> Import into catalogue. This activity reported sucessful importing of data. But when I searched catalogue or authirty data, I failed to found the imported authority record. Is there any way to import only MARC 21 authority data from VIAF or Loc either by single record based operation or through batch mode?

Authority Linking
by Colin Campbell 24 Mar '09

24 Mar '09

On a fresh marc21/zebra/dom install. I found that after linking bibs to authorities the link appeared bib->authority but all authorities showed 0 biblios linked. Zebra was not recognising 'Koha-Auth-Number' Changing ccl.properties entry Authority-Number 1=Koha-Auth-Number an Authority-Number Koha-Auth-Number Authority-Number to Authority-Number 1=8910 an Authority-Number Koha-Auth-Number Authority-Number fixed this (8910 being the value of Koha-Auth_Number in biblios/etc/bib1.att. My question is this cause or a symptom of a larger problem in the attribute definitions. Cheers Colin

Koha Manual in DocBook/XML format
by Pablo A. Bianchi 23 Mar '09

23 Mar '09

Hello! Simple question: Is available somewhere the Koha Manual[0] in DocBook/XML format? I wish to establish the tools to translate it to any other language. Nicole: Is possible to add a link to the last up-to-date XML version of the manual? Something like it is already with PDFs. Paul Poulain says there are some tools for Plone that will help to translate the manual. There are also some local options[1]. Does anybody know some other alternatives to translate/edit DocBook/XMLs, via internet? Whether a standalone web application, a extension of any CMS, or any other useful software. Any ideas? Cheers, Pablo [0] https://sites.google.com/a/liblime.com/koha-manual/ [1] http://xml.openoffice.org/xmerge/docbook/UserGuide.html

Date defaults in pendingreserves.pl (holds to pull report)
by Wagner, Jane 20 Mar '09

20 Mar '09

The pendingreserves.pl script is defaulting to a date range of 10 years ago to yesterday. However, the last bit of the below part of the script -- the if !defined($startdate) piece -- seems to be implying that other start and end dates could be provided. I'm not finding any place where other dates can be set by the user before the report is run. After it runs (first entry into screen), the user can change dates in the Refine Results section. Is there a syspref I'm missing, or somewhere else, that the user can specify different dates as a default? Thanks. my $todaysdate = sprintf("%-04.4d-%-02.2d-%02.2d", $year, $month, $day); my $yesterdaysdate = sprintf("%-04.4d-%-02.2d-%02.2d", Add_Delta_YMD($year, $month, $day, 0, 0, -1)); # Find 10 years ago for the default shelf pull start and end dates # A default of the prior day's holds is a reasonable way to pull holds my $pastdate = sprintf("%-04.4d-%-02.2d-%02.2d", Add_Delta_YMD($year, $month, $day, -10, 0, 0)); # Predefine the start and end dates if they are not already defined $startdate =~ s/^\s+//; $startdate =~ s/\s+$//; $enddate =~ s/^\s+//; $enddate =~ s/\s+$//; # Check if null, should string match, if so set start and end date to yesterday if (!defined($startdate) or $startdate eq "") { $startdate = format_date($pastdate); } if (!defined($enddate) or $enddate eq "") { $enddate = format_date($yesterdaysdate); } Jane Wagner Library Systems Analyst PTFS Inc.

Ed, Take a look at the script. That is largely what it does. My notes at the beginning speak to this, that is parses the FSC line using the @ delimiter, and where you can modify it for your item types. The simple MarcEdit move this to there function won't cut it.
